Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 434 Saying Goodbye
Riding a bicycle, Morimi rode from home to the bookstore.

It was half past nine in the morning, neither early nor late, and she was riding neither hastily nor slowly, with her long hair flying in the wind.

Today is the second day of summer vacation. For her, it is not much different from usual weekends.

Smelling the smell of soil and green grass, she pedaled her bicycle and scanned the farmland on both sides.

The wind blows the rice waves, and the greenery is abundant.

July has bottomed out, the rainy season has passed, the sun has become abundant again, the farmland is lush and green, and the rice is growing well.

Farmland is the most common scenery in the countryside. The Jinmae side is a little more special, and there are endless orchards.And in winter, snow will cover everything.

Green, golden, and white again, she has lived here for 17 years, and has seen this reincarnation seventeen times, consciously and unconsciously.

She looked into the distance, and Yanmu Mountain stood in the distance. There was not much snow left on the top of the mountain. It seemed that there was less snow than when she last noticed it, and it seemed that there was no snow at all.

Looking left and right, she saw a small truck driving on the road ahead. She came to her senses and rode further to the roadside.

The minivan slowed down, she took a breath, continued pedaling along the county road, turned the corner, and soon arrived at her bookstore.

Stopping the car, she looked back at the hotel not far away.

The upstairs window was open, indicating that Haixing was staying in his room.

Haixing didn't have much plans for her summer vacation. She had known this for a long time.In other words, the only arrangement that can be seen at the moment may be to take the original driver's license test with her.

Do you really want to take the exam...

She is still hesitating.

Compared with ordinary motorcycles, there are many original restrictions, such as not being able to carry people and not being able to drive on highways, but these are not a problem for her, and the improvement in commuting efficiency is real.

What she was worried about was not the car, but herself.

She is very confident in her body - in terms of delicateness - not to mention Hikaru Takigawa, Haixing can probably push her down if she is a bit harsh.

What Takigawa Hikaru and Naruse said about the car being overturned and unable to be lifted up may not be just a joke to her.

She could show off her strength in front of them, but in front of the fallen motorcycle, she could only cry and beg it to get up on its own.

... After thinking wildly for a while, Morimi withdrew his gaze and continued to reserve his decision.

When she entered the bookstore, she found Naruse standing among the bookshelves.

"What a surprise."

Morimi walked over, glanced at the book in his hand, and then looked at him, "Are you coming to see me so early? Why don't you send me a message?"

Naruse flipped through the book, "Because I didn't come to see you."

She glanced at the title of the book and said, "The ending of this book..."

"——Can you do good business?"

Mori laughed a little, without giving away any spoilers, and watched his father leave the counter and walk inside without rushing there.

"Are you bored at home?"

"Ah."

"Aren't you going on a trip and haven't decided on a place yet?"

"No, the route and itinerary have been decided. We will leave tomorrow. I came to buy a book and read it on the way."

"……yes."

Seeing the smile on her face disappear in an instant, and then showing an unconcealable loss, Naruse felt a stab in his heart and could only look away.

The two stood in silence between the bookshelves, and it took a while before she spoke again.

"Where to go?"

"Go and have a look at the central area." Naruse said, taking the opportunity to put the book back on the shelf and glance at her face.

She had calmed down and looked at him, "Be specific."

"Nakasendo, Kamikochi, Matsumoto, Osheshika Pond, Lake Suwa...high mountains, Shirakawa and other places."

"yes."

Morimi was silent for a while.

Naruse casually took out the book and continued:
"I've always wanted to visit Nakasendo, but I always missed it for various reasons. This summer vacation is a good opportunity... although the autumn scenery over there is more beautiful."

"Really...I want to go too."

Naruse pursed his lower lip, but said nothing.

She didn't know what she was thinking. She was dazed for a while and then looked at him again.

"Don't worry, I didn't mean to go with you this time. I wanted to go to Magome-juku and Tsumago-juku on Nakasendo Road to see the Edo streets there."

"there will be chances in the future."

"With you?" she asked.

"Go there by yourself." Naruse didn't look at her. "After you go to college, it will be quite convenient to go there from Kyoto...at least it will be much more convenient than going from Aomori."

Morijian's lips curved, "I'd like to lend you some good words."

Looking at the book in his hand again, she asked: "When will you leave tomorrow?"

"The flight is around nine in the morning. It's almost time to leave around seven."

"Is it past seven...I should be able to get up. Do you need me to see you off?"

Naruse pursed his lower lip, "It's better not to bother."

Mori looked at him and said, "So you came here to say goodbye today?"

"more or less."

"Okay." She took a step closer and raised her head slightly, "Then I choose to kiss goodbye." "..."

Naruse suddenly remembered what happened yesterday morning and took a big step to the side to distance himself from her.

She didn't expect him to actually kiss her at all, and most likely just ignored her. Seeing that he reacted so strongly, she suddenly felt a little annoyed.

Are her lips poisonous?She didn't say that she had to kiss on the lips, and kissing on the face wasn't out of the question either.

"Can't you do it now? Well, then I'll wait in front of your house tomorrow morning and kiss you goodbye in front of Shangzi."

"……Stop it."

Naruse stuffed the books in his hands back on the bookshelf and prepared to leave.

"Don't leave." She grabbed him, "Don't you want to pick up the books you read on the way?"

"You don't look like you want to do business."

"Your choice." She crossed her arms, indicating that she would not do anything to him.

Naruse looked at her and continued spinning.

"How long do you plan to stay there?"

"It's like ten days and a half. I'll go to all the places I want to visit and then come back. Shang Zi still has something to do, so I won't be able to play for long."

"What's going on?" Morimi asked.

"Of course it's a club thing."

Naruse glanced at her and said, "The handicraft club will start preparing for the next semester's cultural festival from the summer vacation. Isn't this an annual practice? She is a minister, so she has to go to school."

"Cultural Festival……"

Morimi pondered for a while, "What about the flea market in our restoration department? Do you have any specific plans?"

"No. But according to my estimation, there is no need to start preparations so early."

"yes."

He moved to another row of bookshelves, and she followed.

"By the time you come back, the light should have returned."

"more or less."

"Did you see the video she posted in the group this morning?"

"I saw it, the sunrise on the beach is beautiful... We talked so late last night, I didn't expect her to get up so early."

"I woke up at sunrise and went back to sleep later." Morimi said something he didn't know.

"Really?" Naruse was not too surprised.

According to Takigawa Hikari's schedule, she only rides for five or six hours during the day, neither getting up early nor staying late.

At this time, she may have just set off from the hotel.

"Do you think I should take the original driver's license test?" As soon as one topic ended, she brought up a new topic.

Naruse looked at her, thought for a moment, and said:

"You should try to see if you can control it first. If nothing else, at least you should be able to support your feet when sitting in the car."

She squinted over and said, "Are you looking down on me too much?"

"It's because you usually act too delicate. I can stop you from standing up with just one finger."

"Use your fingers..." She suddenly twisted her body, "It's so obscene."

"..."

"You keep talking."

"I……"

Her thoughts were pulled by her and jumped into the ambiguous fog. Looking back, the fog was full of her singing happily under his fingers. Naruse suddenly forgot what he wanted to say just now.

"You said you were going to use your fingers to make me unable to stand up," Morimi reminded.

He remembered, "You should first find an original vehicle and try riding on it."

She also returned to her seriousness, "Where can I find it? I don't have any relatives or friends who ride Yuanfu."

"There is one at the training center. If you can ride, you can sign up on the spot."

"The training center is so far away, how can I get there?"

Of course, take the bus there.

Just when Naruse was about to say this, he turned around and saw the expression on her face and understood.

"You are here to buy books when you are free. I must have nothing to do today."

"Can't you just buy the books first and then go back and pack them away?"

Morimi grabbed his arm and said, "Send me there."

"..."

He looked at the time and sighed.

"I'll go back to ride my bike. Find me some books that I can read. I'll be here soon - if they don't look good, don't expect any souvenirs."

Morimi let go of his hand and smiled sweetly.

"Good~"
