Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 471 Summer Mosquito
After buying the ingredients and taking them home with the gifts, Naruse and Naoko took out two more and sent the gifts to the Takikawa family before it was too late.

It was Mrs. Takigawa who opened the door, and Tsuki Takigawa, who was at home on vacation, came down quickly.

"Long time no see, Harumi, Naoko."

"Long time no see, Sister Yue."

As soon as Takigawa Yue sat down, she saw the souvenirs sent by the two people. She turned over them twice, and her face was more surprised than surprised.

"How many things did you buy?"

“Anyway, I bought something I liked when I saw it in the specialty store.”

"It must have cost a lot of money, young man..."

Naruse nodded, and then said: "The gift my mother gave to Sister Yue is also in it."

Takigawa Yue's eyes suddenly brightened, and her plan to preach was immediately forgotten.

"Which?"

Shangzi pointed and nodded, "These are some of them."

"Ah, I like them all!"

Naruse looked at his girlfriend, "This is the so-called power of idols and stars. Sister Yue just glanced at these things casually."

Naoko just laughed.

"Stinky boy..."

Takigawa Yue glared at him, and then smiled, a little embarrassed.

"Is it almost time for Miss Song to come back?"

"It's only for the past few days. After all, the Bon Festival is coming soon." Naruse said, then paused, "Hikaru should be able to come back before the Bon Festival, right?"

"probably."

Even though she is a biological sister, she is not very sure about her younger sister's itinerary. "She has been admiring the flower fields in Furano these days."

Naoko nodded, "I saw the photo of the flower field that Guang posted in the group. Such a big lavender field is really beautiful."

"Really? It's colorful, like a rainbow. Guang said she picked a lot of lavender to make dried flowers and planned to bring them back to us as gifts."

"After Furano, there shouldn't be anything special to go around on the Hokkaido side." Naruse said, "Lake Toya and Lake Shikotsu, Hikaru has been to both before."

"Yes, but just saying that she will stay in Otaru for one more day..."

Naruse and Naoko stayed at Takikawa's house for more than half an hour. After chatting for a while, they politely declined Mrs. Takikawa's invitation to stay for dinner and went back together.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten at home."

"Yes."

But it was still early in the day, and it was far from dinner time. After returning home, Naruse was going to go for a ride on his bike.

When he opened the garage and saw the Super Cub parked inside, he remembered that he had traded his car to Hikari Takigawa.

Later, he also remembered his decision some time ago.

"The motorcycle shop shouldn't be closed at this time. Let's go and take a look." He rode out of the garage and said to his girlfriend waiting outside.

"Hey...are you going to buy a new car?"

Shang Zi also quickly understood his plan.

"Well, let's go to the store and take a look before deciding which one to buy."

Naruse patted the front of the car and said, "Or just buy a Super Cub. Anyway, there is a new and improved model this year."

"Then go have a look."

After riding the motorcycle, Naruse took Naoko directly to the Honda Motorcycle Shop in Tsumae, where he visited the motorcycles of various displacements displayed in the lobby on the first floor.

"Well, this one...is similar to Harumi's one, right?"

"It's much worse, honey. At least this 650cc displacement is not something I can ride with my driver's license."

"But it looks like it's about the same size as Harumi's ZX-4RR?"

"That's not how it's compared..."

After accepting that he wanted to buy a new car, Shangzi also became serious about choosing his own means of transportation for at least the next year or so, instead of just ignoring it and letting him decide like before.

As a result, after shopping around, there were only three models that could satisfy both of them in terms of price, appearance, and comfort.

For two of them, no matter what color they are, you have to wait seven or eight months to get the car.

The fastest one to get the car is the improved Super Cub launched this year. If you order one of the colors now, you can get the new car in about half a month, while the other color that Naruse prefers will have to wait longer. Ten days.

"If it's only ten days, you can still wait, right?" Shangzi said.

Naruse nodded, "Then let's go with this Pearl Nebula Red."

"Harumi really likes red."

“This kind of ancient model is better looking if it’s brighter.”

After following the store staff to place an order, and after finishing choosing accessories and paying deposits, the two left the motorcycle store. It was already dark outside.

After returning home, Naoko walked directly into the kitchen, and Naruse also went in to help, preparing dinner together after a long absence.

"Clean the kitchen utensils before using them."

"I know."

Dinner for two was ready in no time.

Naoko brought the bowls and chopsticks to the table, while Naruse poured two glasses of water and sat down opposite each other.

"At this time yesterday, we were still on our way back to the hotel."

"We're already having dinner at this time, right?" "No, because Harumi got on the tram backwards at Konko Station, so we got off the train at Yesu Station and continued waiting. We arrived back at the hotel more than 20 minutes late."

"Well……"

Sitting on both sides of the dining table, the two of them chatted and ate their own dinner as usual. Life seemed to have returned to the state before going on the trip, even though more than ten hours ago, they were still lying in a hotel by the distant Lake Biwa. inside.

"The summer vacation is almost halfway over."

"Well, at least at this time, I can say that my summer vacation with Shangzi has been very fulfilling."

Shangzi smiled slightly.

After dinner, she put down her bowls and chopsticks, stood up and walked around, and soon returned to sit down at the dining table.

Naruse looked at her, but her face was calm, as if nothing had happened.

"Shangzi is not going to go for a walk after dinner."

The pretended calm was immediately broken. Her face turned slightly red and she puffed her mouth again, "I'm used to it..."

"It's not like I can't go for a walk when I get back."

Shangzi glanced at the table, "The bowls haven't been washed yet."

"Maybe when I come back, the dishes will have been washed and the kitchen will be tidy."

"Then I will really be scared..."

Naruse smiled, stood up, and extended his hand to his girlfriend, "Let's go, you can just walk around."

"Good~"

The two left the table that had not been cleared away, bathed in the moonlight, walked around the area, and then went to a convenience store.

"Well……"

"Don't give me face, just tell me."

Shangzi laughed, glanced at her boyfriend, and said:

"There really isn't much to do after dark in the countryside...I remember why I didn't have the habit of taking a walk after dinner before."

Naruse sighed and looked down at his turned arm.

"There are more mosquitoes."

Shangzi scratched him twice.

The two stayed in the convenience store for a while, using the air conditioner and avoiding the mosquitoes outside. After walking around for a long time, they only took two large bottles of green tea and milk for the evening.

"Go back and wash the dishes."

"Um……"

While still checking out, Starfish came in from outside.

"Hey...good evening."

"Good evening." Shangzi also said hello, and then looked at the boyfriend beside him calmly.

Naruse looked at Haixing with calm eyes, "It's not long after dinner, right? What are you doing at the convenience store?"

"..."

She curled her lips and said, "You guys are here too."

"We're here to buy drinks."

"Me too."

She turned around and walked into the shelf, stood in front of the freezer for a while, and finally took a bottle of juice.

When she got to the counter to check out, the two of them had already left, and she immediately discovered that she didn't bring her wallet with her when she went out.

She wasn't here to buy drinks in the first place.

After dinner, she had nothing to do, and thinking that he had come back, she walked over here by some strange combination of circumstances.

But it wasn't just him who came back, there was also Shangzi. She walked around the intersection for a long time and was bitten by mosquitoes, but she still didn't dare to go in.

"Uh……"

Looking at the clerk inside, Haixing's face felt a little hot, "I forgot my money... I'll go back and get it."

Turning around again, the door of the convenience store opened to both sides, and Naruse walked in from the outside again.

He glanced twice and said, "You don't have any money?"

"……Um."

He looked at the clerk again, "Is there any mosquito repellent spray here? The kind that can be used in the room."

The window upstairs was forgotten.

"Yes." The clerk pointed to one of the rows of shelves, "over there."

Naruse walked over and quickly found what he wanted.

"Pay together." He ordered the juice next to him.

"Ok."

drop--

After paying, he picked up the mosquito repellent spray and handed the juice to Haixing. Naruse stared at her face for two more seconds, then looked away when she raised her eyes.

"Stop running around and go home early."
