Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 45 Dinner Outside

After leaving school, Naruse and Naoko came to a second-hand shop near the station.The store door was open, but the counter was empty.

"Has Mr. Chaoyue gone out again?"

"Hard to say."

As soon as the two entered the store, someone poked his head out from between the shelves: "Welcome...it turns out to be Song."

"Excuse me." Shangzi said, looking at Naruse.

The "pine" in Chao Yueming's mouth is naturally him.

Chao Yueming is very bad at memorizing people's names. Ever since he learned that Naruse is the son of the female star Matsu Chiaki, he only remembers this, and directly refers to him as Matsu.

Repeatedly corrected to no avail, Naruse could only let it go.In this store, he is Song.

"Are you tidying up?" He walked over.

Chao Yueming nodded and retreated between the shelves.

Naruse put down his schoolbag to help, the passage was narrow, Shangzi didn't go over to make trouble, and looked down at the things on the counter.

What Chao Yueming put on the shelves were several leather bags.

This store does not accept old clothes, but for luxury goods such as leather bags, because they are relatively easy to sell, they will accept a small amount. Naruse often sees some young women visiting the store.

The leather bags on the shelves have already been hung with price tags.

Naruse picked up a LV camera bag, looked at the price, and it cost 14 yen.

When he was "young and ignorant", under the instigation of "friends", he also "handled" some "unusable" bags for Song Qianqiu, and one of the styles was similar to this one.

Seeing him sigh suddenly, Chao Yueming leaned over to take a look.

"Is there a flaw?"

"Do not……"

Naruse regained his senses and put down the purse.

"This batch of goods looks good, are they all S-grade?"

"This one is S-level, and the others are all SA or A-level."

The so-called S-grade is [-]% new or simply unused products, followed by SA-grade, followed by A-grade.

There were not many things to sort out, and the two quickly returned to the counter.

Naruse sat down next to Naoko, and took out the client's mechanical watch.

"Can you fix a watch?"

Chao Yueming took the watch, looked at it over and over for a while, and first quoted an exaggeratedly low price.

"No, I didn't sell it... By the way, it's too cheap."

"This kind of miscellaneous watch is at this price." He stared at the dial and said, "Aren't you on time?"

"Well, it's said that I haven't worn it for a while."

"Has the back cover been opened?"

"do not know."

"Probably the lubricating fluid inside has dried up."

After studying for a while, Chao Yueming put down his watch and looked up at him: "Do you want to fix it?"

"Are you free now?" Naruse asked back.

"available."

"That would be troublesome."

Chao Yueming nodded, then tidied up the table, cleared out a clean area, and began to remove the watch.

First the strap, then the case back, and then the hand-wound handle.

Naruse lay on the outside of the counter and stared motionless, while Shangzi sat beside him, watching him more of the time.

The three of them unconsciously held their breath, and time flowed silently.

After Chao Yueming disassembled the watch, filled the core parts with oil, and then reassembled it, the sky outside had already darkened.

"All right."

Turning the movement and checking the time, he returned the watch to Naruse.

"Is there no error in this way?"

"It's almost there. If there is still an error, it means it's not a problem with the lubricating fluid."

Da da da--

Naruse stared at the second hand from 5 to 6, "Then do you need to fix it?"

Chao Yueming straightened his arms and stretched restrainedly.

"That's beyond my reach."

Even if there was an error, it would not be obvious in a short while, Naruse put away the watch, thanked him, and asked about the fee.

Chao Yueming shook his head slightly, saying no need, "Song Ping also helped me a lot."

He put away the screwdriver on the table.

"And, I'm enjoying it, too."

Naruse smiled, "Would Mr. Chaoyue be willing to serve as an off-campus consultant for our Tsugao Restoration Department? Maybe in the future, you will often bring some weird things for you to repair."

Chao Yueming glanced at him and Shangzi, nodded and agreed.

By the time the two of them left the medieval store, it was already completely dark.

Feeling a little hungry, Naruse pulled Shangzi to find a place nearby to fill his stomach before going back.

The central station is considered the busiest area in Tsumae. The two walked around a little, and there are many restaurants to choose from.

"Just this one."

"Ah."

The two finally chose a seafood barbecue restaurant, and the restaurant was almost full.

"The crab caps in this store taste very good."

"Has Shangzi been here?"

"Well. In the third year of middle school, my classmates and I..."

While listening to Naoko's introduction, Naruse placed an order, feeling that it was almost done, and handed her the orderer.

"Do you want to add scallops? It is said that they are a specialty from Mutsu Bay."

"Come on. Mutsu Bay..."

Next week, third-year students at Prefectural Tsu High School will go on a school trip to Kyoto, while all first-year students will go on an excursion to much closer Mutsu Bay.

"The last time I went to Mutsu Bay was when I was in elementary school."

"Well, Chunhai went with me that time."

"It should be said that everyone in the school has gone. Hai Xing also got motion sickness. It's a shame."

"Chunhai is talking bad things about Haixing behind her back again."

After ordering, they each asked for drinks. After waiting for too long, the seafood ordered by the two of them was delivered one after another.

Some are already cooked, while others have to be baked on a grill at full heat—you can ask the staff to help, but both choose to do it themselves.

Putting the prawns from Mutsu Bay on the grill, Naruse waited for a while and decided to try Naoko's recommendation first.

He carefully picked up the crab cover. After heating, a rich aroma came out, and a handful of green onions were sprinkled on the surface. Once in the mouth, the thick crab paste was so salty and fragrant that it almost melted the tongue.

The silky crab meat has a clear texture, accompanied by a little milky aroma, and Naruse guessed that a little dairy product may have been added when making it.

"How is it?" Shangzi looked at him.

Naruse licked his lower lip, "Order two more."

She laughed, "OK."

Afterwards, the two abandoned the sauces provided by the store, dipped in the crab paste directly, and ate up a table full of seafood.

At the end, Naruse still had some thoughts, but just looking at the time, it was already getting late.

"Come again next time."

"uh-huh."

The two packed their things.

"I'm thinking, let's eat outside on Friday." Naruse suddenly suggested.

Shangzi looked at him, his eyes sparkling, "Okay."

Leaving the barbecue restaurant, the two went straight to the bus platform to catch the last bus home.

After walking for a while, Shangzi grabbed his arm, "My stomach is full..."

Naruse immediately slowed down.

"Is it hard?"

"Um……"

She took his arm, "It's okay if you walk slowly."

"Then slow down. There are still ten minutes, and there is still time."

Shangzi nodded.

The two walked slowly arm in arm, and when they arrived at the bus platform, there were still a few minutes left.

"—Huh, Harumi?"

The vision was dim, and Naruse looked away from Naoko's face, only to realize that the figure in the corner of the platform was Takikawa Hikaru, and Haixing and Takikawa Tsuki were beside her.

After greeting the three of them, and getting responses from two of them, Naruse asked again:
"Didn't Guang come here by bike today?"

"The motorcycle is parked in the school."

Hikaru Takikawa came over, "Yue and Haixing are both here, so I can only take one person with me, so I decided to take the bus with them... What's wrong with Naoko?"

"overeat……"

Suddenly being poked on the waist, Naruse immediately shut up.

"Stomach is a bit uncomfortable." Shangzi said by himself.

"Are you okay?"

Hikaru Takikawa came over, "There is stomach medicine in Yue, do you want to take one?"

"No...it's much better now."

After staring at Shangzi for a while, she nodded in relief.

"starfish?"

In the corner, Takikawa Tsuki was a little strange when he noticed that Haixing frequently cast his gaze at the three people over there.

"fine……"

Two or three minutes later, the last bus finally stopped, and five people got on the bus one after another. Hai Xing was pulled by Hikari Takikawa and sat behind Narase monk.

"Club activities?" Takikawa Hikaru asked.

Naruse was stunned for a moment, and when she turned around, she suddenly realized that what she wanted to ask was the reason why he and Shangzi returned so late.

"Almost. Because I was hungry, I ate outside before going back."

"Ah, the same as us."

Hikaru Takikawa smiled, and Naruse glanced at the starfish next to her, who had been looking out the window.

The bus wobbled, Naruse turned sideways to speak, and Naoko also turned around to face him.

"Sister Yue is going on a school trip next week, do you still have to go to school on weekends?"

"I won't go, I will study at home these two days." Takikawa said.

Hikaru Takikawa continued: "The departure time of the school trip is the same day as our first-year excursion to Mutsu Bay, otherwise I would still like to send the moon."

"Three days and two nights, that's not bad." Naruse sighed casually, his eyes wandering unconsciously on the profiles of Shangzi and Haixing.

"I heard that the original plan was seven days and six nights, including Osaka and Nara, but it was shortened for some reason."

"For security reasons?"

"do not know……"

The five chatted all the way, and Hai Xing would also open his mouth to chat with people other than Naruse.

buzz-

The phone suddenly vibrated and continued.

Naruse took it out and saw it was a phone.

"mom?"

"..."

Hai Xing looked over immediately, and met his eyes for the first time after boarding the bus.
