Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 44 The Beginning of October
rustling, rustling—

The tip of the pen walks slowly on the paper.

Condensed with confidence or hesitation, every time you take a step, you leave a unique footprint.

rustle--

The same movement appeared in every corner of the first-year Class C classroom, and even in all the classes in the county Jin Gao.

It was around three o'clock in the afternoon, and the first comprehensive exam of the second semester had come to an end.

【3. In the early days of the Edo Shogunate, what impact did the outbreak of the Shimabara Rebellion have on the spread of foreign religions in Japan? 】

Naruse thought for half a second, and the answer popped up in his mind.

"Well, the key word should be 'temple invitation system'."

He held the pen, and the answers flowed across the paper without hindrance.

After answering the last small question, Naruse put down his pen, wiped the eraser on the test paper, and exhaled lightly.

ended.

The Japanese history exam, as well as all the exams yesterday and today, are all over.

Looking at the clock on the wall, there are about 10 minutes left in the exam time.

The other students were still buried in their answers. All he could see were frowning faces.

"..."

Sensing his gaze, Shangzi raised his head and looked at him, then looked at the test paper on his desk, pursed his mouth slightly.

Naruse smiled reassuringly, and quickly turned back.

After relaxing his body and mind, he rested for a while, then turned back to the first page of the test paper and started to check.

I checked it out completely and found nothing that needs to be modified.

A few minutes later, the bell rang for the end of get out of class, and the teacher on the podium stood up and announced the end of the exam.

A series of coughing and sighing sounds suddenly sounded in the classroom.

"It's over... over in many ways."

"It's really difficult."

"Is this kind of topic really not beyond the scope?"

After taking the test paper from the back seat and sending it along with his own test paper, Naruse glanced at Hikari Takigawa again.

She was in a daze after handing out the test paper, her eyes were empty, and she didn't know where to look.

"Light?"

"The more time I spent learning about it, the more I liked basketball."

"..."

The uproar after the exam did not last long. The teacher, Zhong Yuanxue, came to the classroom soon and explained some things.

"Next Monday, the test results will be out. It's useless to show this expression now. But before that..."

A few minutes later, the evening class meeting ended, Zhong Yuanxue walked out of the classroom holding the attendance book, and the students below packed their things and left one after another.

Naruse stayed in his seat, worrying again about the issues he had thought about at the beginning of school.

"Is it the three-party talks next week... She probably won't have time to come back."

Song Qianqiu had already left Tianjin for more than a month, and the crew had been preparing for so long, and the filming officially started more than a week ago. This is the busiest time in the early days.

"—Chun Hai, do you want to go to the club?"

He turned his head to look at Shangzi who had already packed his things, "Talk on three sides, Mr. Hua, will they come back?"

Shang Zi was startled, and slowly nodded.

"I'll be back. I still have enough time for a day."

"I'm thinking, at that time, I may have to ask Shangzi's father or mother to attend the three-way meeting for me." Naruse said.

Shangzi was not surprised, "Mom and Dad won't refuse...if there is time."

"Well, let's talk about it later."

In addition, even if he knew that Song Qianqiu would not come back, he still had to contact her after returning home.

Hikaru Takikawa walked around the outside of the classroom, calling friends again and again, and when he came back, he had already got rid of the stunned state just now.

"Chunhai, Shangzi, the exam is over, do you want to go out and relax together? It just so happens that tomorrow is the weekend."

Naruse carried his bag and prepared to leave, "Next time."

Hikaru Takigawa stretched his arms and blocked the back door. After being perfunctory countless times, he finally complained: "Every time I say next time."

"Hikari..." Shangzi looked at her, and then at Naruse.

"The exams and club activities have been suspended for the past few days, so I have to go over there today." Naruse said, "You also know that Shangzi has established a new club."

"……All right."

Hikaru Takikawa lowered his arms, "Every time I get rejected, I feel very embarrassed."

Naruse smiled.

"I will definitely go next time."

"That's what Chun Hai said last time."

"This time I promise."

"wait."

Hikaru Takikawa took out his mobile phone, tapped it a few times, and stretched it out in front of him, "Say it again."

Naruse glanced at the screen.

【Recording】

"Go ahead."

"...I promise, just invite me out to play next time, if there is no emergency, I will definitely go."

Hikaru Takikawa put away the phone reluctantly, "Thanks for your hard work."

Naruse shook his head and was speechless, he pulled the smiling Naoko and went to the club.

After watching the two go downstairs from the stairs in the middle, Hikari Takikawa looked at Class E over there.

She still remembered what Naruse told her at the cultural festival.

Saying hello to the girls I met in the corridor, Hikari Takikawa came to the classroom of Class E, just as someone came out from the back door.

"Wow."

She stood still, and couldn't hold back her voice, "Yiye..."

Mori saw Yiye with a sullen face, and his whole body was shrouded in an aura of not getting close to strangers, like a walking block of ice.

Takigawa Hikari understood immediately.

"Yiye also failed the exam."

"..."

After all, they were friends who grew up together. Seeing that he was in a bad mood at this time, Sen simply rolled his eyes neatly.

"Sorry sorry~"

Takikawa Hikaru didn't care at all, and raised his arm, but put his arm around her shoulder.

"Let him go with the things that have passed. Do you want to relax? Call Haixing together."

Sen Jian struggled a little, a little unaccustomed to her excessive intimacy, and then sighed again.

"Forget it today, next time."

"Oh, even the excuse is the same as Harumi's." Hikaru Takikawa almost took out his phone and asked her to record a voice too.

Hearing her mention of Naruse, Morimi's expression darkened again.

"That guy..."

"Ok?"

"No, it's nothing. This exam exposed many problems, so I'll go back first."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

When he was about to leave, Morimi suddenly thought of Takikawa Hikaru's plan to come to Class E.

Turning her head, she saw that she was indeed looking for the starfish who was still on the seat.

These two are really close recently...

Mori shook his head.

If you're too busy to take care of yourself, don't worry about it so much.

What's more, both Guang and her friends are more reassuring than those hot girls.

She reminded herself from the bottom of her heart, lifted the bag on her shoulder again, and turned to leave.

"Did you fail the exam?"

Hai Xing lay on the table without raising her head, and responded with a muffled sound.

"It should be said 'stable performance'... This time there will definitely be a make-up exam."

"Haha."

Hikaru Takikawa laughed, "Since we are doomed to take the make-up exam, let's relax now."

"..."

Starfish lay on the ground for a while, raised his head, and finally showed a little smile.

"Just being right, there's no point in struggling now. Let's go play!"

"Think about it."

Hikaru Takikawa waited for her to pack up, while scanning the classroom of Class E.

Those hot girl friends of Haixing have already left.

"Come on. Where are we going?"

"Where does starfish want to go?"

"It's all right."

"Well... There are a few friends waiting at the school gate, let's discuss it together."

On the other side, Naruse and Shangko walked through the connecting corridor, came to the annex building, and climbed up two more floors.

When they reached the depths of this layer, the two stopped.

The official or unified house number with other associations has not yet been made. Now, as a substitute, a wooden board with lettering nearly two meters in length is made by Ogawa Rina himself.

【Department of Restoration of Everything】

"Speaking of which, today is the first club activity in October."

"After all, all grades were preparing for the exam a few days ago."

Naruse touched the huge door plate, Naoko took out the key and opened the door of the club room.

"come in."

The Restoration Department of Everything is a new club established by Shangzi during the cultural festival. The current members are all her friends from the handicraft club except for Naruse.

Because the time of establishment is a bit embarrassing, not too early or too late, the location of the activity department that can be allocated is relatively remote.

Fortunately, the members don't care much.

Walking into the department room, although the club has only been established for a few days, there are already a lot of handmade works in different styles, which are very attractive.

"The handicraft club is about to be emptied out." Naruse said.After the cultural festival, he never went there again.

Shangzi smiled and shook his head again.

"Chunhai underestimated the historical accumulation of the handicraft society."

He found a place to sit down, took out the novel he borrowed from the school library, and read it.

The mission of the Restoration Department is to give full play to their strengths and try their best to repair those precious items for others. In other words, most of the members are free.

"When there is no entrustment, everyone can just do their own thing." At the first general meeting of the Restoration Department, Minister Shang Zi said so.

There is, of course, also no mandatory requirement for attendance.

Today, although there was a unified exam for the whole school, many people came after school.

The first person to come over was Rina Ogawa.

"You are here."

She looked at the door plate carved by herself at the door, and then walked into the department room.

"Miss Ogawa."

"When I came here just now, there was no one, so I went to sit downstairs at the handicraft club for a while. Oops... I was stared at by Ritsuko all the time, and I didn't dare to move my head. I felt that if I turned my head, she would rush over to me Swallow it in your stomach."

Regarding her joke, Shangzi just smiled and said nothing.

So is Naruse.

Almost all the current members of the restoration department are the backbone of the handicraft club, and on the day of the celebration party in the izakaya, he heard that the girls at the two tables of the handicraft club almost had a fight, presumably there was a lot of conflict.

But he didn't ask, and Shang Zi didn't explain it to him in detail.

In the face of being targeted in the society, she found a third solution other than endurance and direct confrontation, and she seemed to enjoy it, and he would only fully support it.

After a while, other members came to the department room one after another.

Chatting and laughing with each other, doing what I like, it is no different from when I was in the handicraft club, but the atmosphere is much more relaxed than there.

"Shangzi."

A second-grade girl sat next to her with a bag, then took out her laptop and put it in front of her.

"Senior Angang, this is..."

"The webpage I told Shangzi before is almost done, let me show you the effect first. If there is no problem, it can be put into use."

Naruse, who was sitting not far away, also turned his head and looked over.

Yasuoka-senpai turned on the computer, opened a webpage deftly, and introduced it to Naoko.

"The overall layout is like this... At that time, some photos will be put here as an introduction, and the content will mainly focus on the repaired things. Shangzi can choose by himself;

Here, it is the range of items that we can help repair now, such as clothing, dolls, electronic products with less complex structures, etc. In addition, we can also do some simple renovation work...

Click here to entrust. The specific form is to fill in a commissioned object description form.After the submission is completed, the content of this form will be sent to the set mailbox. "

Shangzi stared at it without blinking, nodded from time to time, and responded with a hmm in his mouth.

After introducing the content of the entire webpage, Senior Yasuoka said:
"At that time, through the operation of the student union, our webpage will be posted on the school homepage of Jingao, and all visitors can see it. In this way, the exposure rate of the restoration department will be greatly improved--I missed the cultural festival. Such an excellent publicity opportunity, now we can only do as much as possible to make up for it.”

"That's great...thank you, Yasuoka-senpai." Shangzi thanked her solemnly.

She waved her hand, turned the notebook to her side, and scrolled up and down the webpage.

"Don't rush to thank you. After reading it, what does Shangzi think? Is there any room for improvement in the content or design of the webpage?"

"Well... I think the title text here can be enlarged a little bit."

"OK~ Modifying the font size is still very simple. How about this?"

"A little bigger."

"no problem."

"Hmm... a little bigger?"

"Okay. How about this?"

"It seems too big, a little smaller?"

"..."

When Yasuoka-senpai raised her eyebrows and took a deep breath, Naruse immediately got up and went over to make a decision for Naoko.

"That's the font size."

"Chunhai..."

Shangzi also quickly recovered from the entanglement, so the next part that didn't have any major problems was basically passed after a few glances.

"so be it."

Yasuoka-senpai put away her laptop, "Shoko send me the materials for publicity as soon as possible."

"Ok."

Yasuoka-senpai left, and Shangzi had nothing else to do for the time being, so he began to prepare materials.

When she was in the handicraft club, she helped repair many puppets, and because other members were good at handicrafts, they also helped repair some items in and out of school more or less.

"If you can get in touch, please ask the other party to take some photos." Shangzi said to the members, "It happens that tomorrow is the weekend."

After finishing her work here, she stayed for a while, then left the department and went to find the person she had helped before.

Naruse didn't accompany him, and stayed in the department room to continue reading, and then took out his mobile phone to take a look.

The message sent to Song Qianqiu before is still unread.

"Filming is really busy." He muttered and put away his phone.

But before Shangzi came back, a strange face appeared at the door of the restoration department.

"This is the restoration department, right?"

As soon as he entered the door, he was stared at by a dozen girls at the same time. He was startled, and subconsciously looked at the only boy in the department.

"Yes." Naruse had no choice but to answer, and also stood up and went over.

"There are so many girls..."

He walked up to the boy, who was still looking into the room.

"What's up?"

"I'm Gu Ze from class A of the first year. The people from the handicraft club asked me to come here... Can you guys repair everything here?"

Handicraft club?
Naruse was a little surprised, but didn't ask in detail, "What do you want to fix?"

"watch."

"..."

It was such a difficult job from the very beginning.

"Mechanical watch?"

"Ah? Right, I don't quite understand the difference between mechanical watches and quartz watches..."

As Gu Ze spoke, he took off the watch on his hand, "This is it."

Naruse took it over and took a look. The English on the dial was very unfamiliar, at least not the famous brands he had seen before such as Patek Cuili, Lange or Vacheron Constantin.

"It's a mechanical watch."

"Oh. Although this watch is just cheap, it is also a gift from my brother before he went abroad. After not wearing it for a while, the time error is getting bigger and bigger. I don't know what's going on...Can you guys fix it? "

The two didn't lower their volume when they talked, and the other people in the department heard it clearly. Naruse asked with his eyes, and everyone shook their heads.

"It seems impossible."

"That's it." Gu Ze looked a little disappointed.

"Hmm... just wait a minute."

Naruse stopped him when he turned around, "If you're not in a hurry, I can ask my friend to take a look - even if it can't be repaired, it will be returned to you as it is."

"is it?"

Gu Ze was very happy, and handed over the watch directly, "Then I'll leave it to you...should there be no charge?"

"If you don't need to replace any expensive parts, you won't charge Guzawa-san." Naruse said.

"That's good."

After thanking him, he glanced at the club room full of girls before Gu Ze left.

Naruse returned to the club room with the watch, and the others were a little curious, so he handed over the watch and let them pass it around.

"You can hand it over to us for repairs. It's a brand you've never heard of. Naruse still has friends who can repair watches?"

"I can repair some things. I don't know if the mechanical watch is among them."

"I don't know?" Ogawa Rina glanced at him, "Then you agreed so soon."

Naruse took the watch, "After all, this is the first official commission after the establishment of the Restoration Department. If you refuse without doing anything, I always feel that it is not a good sign."

Ogawa Rina didn't say anything more.

Ten minutes later, Shangzi returned to the department room.

"How about it?"

"I found two people. They said they would help take some photos when they go back."

"That's good. However, the doll repaired by Shangzi can't tell where the patch is and where the original accessories are. If it is used for publicity, can ordinary people find it?" Naruse said.

She smiled and seemed pleased.

"Then mark it on the photo."

After staying for another half an hour, Naruse packed his things and prepared to leave.

"I'm going to go to the second-hand shop and let Mr. Chaoyue see if this watch can be repaired."

Shangzi followed suit.

"Well, I'll go with Chunhai."

　Recommend a book, "Student Lingzi is not too cold today"

　　"Even if I, Zhong Lingzi, were to die, if I jumped from here, I would never eat a bite of what he gave me."

　　"Cough...cough...that...Gongsun Jin, are you free tomorrow?"

　　"What's wrong?"

　　"Go on a date with me, I like you."
