Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 507 Playing with water and eating melons
Walking along the river to Shimo Aoyagi Bridge, there are always shallow parts of the river, and the deepest part is only just above Naruse's knees.

When they reached the bottom of the bridge, they stopped and rested for a while.

"It's so annoying..." Naruse wiped the sweat from his head.

"It feels like it would be nice to play with Hikari and the others stacking rocks under the bridge over there."

Shangzi stared at the river flowing beside her, and there was an urge in her heart that kept urging her to jump into the water and enjoy the coolness more thoroughly.

Naruse bent down and poured some water on each other's legs, "How far did we go when we traced our origins when we were children?"

"We've been walking for several hours, it should be quite far..."

Shangzi looked down at him, "I don't remember."

He couldn't remember clearly, but the starting point seemed to be here.

Looking at the bridge piers with a net above his head, he didn't intend to go any further, "Let's go back."

"Well... let's go up there? The road is easier."

"it is good."

The two climbed up the steep slope to the river bank and walked back along the riverside path.

This is the path Morimi often walked when riding a car to school, but after she learned to ride a bicycle, she almost never walked this way again except when it rained.

"So hot……"

In order to prevent herself from getting wet when she fell into the water, Naoko left the white sun hat at Morimi's house.

Naruse raised his hand and covered her head.

"..."

Shangzi raised his eyes, puffed his lips, and laughed, "You can't hide it."

"If I had known better, I would have brought an umbrella."

"It's too weird to carry an umbrella when playing in the water..."

With the scorching sun above their heads, the two of them chatted one after another. Their pace was not slow at all, and soon they were back near Morimi's house.

"Wanna get your hat?"

"Forget it, we're staying under the bridge anyway."

When the two came to the bottom of the bridge again, they saw the three of them soaking in the water, and Morimi was building something with stones.

Naruse walked over and found that the circle of rocks that originally blocked the watermelon had collapsed, and she was now recovering.

"Did you knock it down?"

Morimi glanced at him and turned up the page again.

"I accidentally touched it and fell down."

"——Ichiba obviously pounced on him with his whole body." Takigawa said coldly, "And he said 'ah-ah-'."

"You talk too much."

"..." Naruse looked at the bottom of the water.

"Then Kazuha said he would repair it himself, but up to now, the foundation hasn't been laid yet."

"You talk too much!"

Naruse glanced at the watermelon that was put aside, and then knelt down to help.

Morijian raised his hand, pushed and touched, "No need for help."

"I don't want to eat hot watermelon."

She glanced at him and said nothing more.

Seeing that he was helping, Takigawa Hikaru also swam over.

"Where did Haruhai and Shangzi go? They've been gone for a long time."

"Let's go down to Qingliu Bridge." Shangzi said.

"so far."

"Well, then I came back from the shore. The sun was too hot."

"It's really hot outside, Shangzi, why don't you come down and take a dip for a while."

"Well……"

Naoko hesitated for a moment, looked at Naruse, and saw that he sat directly into the water, so he slowly sat down.

"Ah... so cold."

"Let go a little more." Hikaru Takigawa stopped caring about the pile of rocks and pulled her to swim a little deeper.

"This way..."

"It's okay, it's very shallow here, Shangzi can step on it to the bottom."

"..."

Looking at the two people swimming slowly in the water over there, Morimi said: "Forget it there is no swimming pool in the school. There is not even a citizen swimming pool in Tsumae City. If you want to buy a swimsuit, you have no chance to put it on." Naruse piled rocks and responded.

"Do you want to see me in a bathing suit?" she asked in a low voice.

He looked up at her and remained silent for a moment, "It's best to wear a standard school swimsuit."

"abnormal."

"What's wrong with that?"

"The exposed armpits, the curves that are completely outlined by the close-fitting swimsuit, the looming skin at the waist and abdomen drain holes, and the shame of having to take them off when you want to use the toilet... Isn't this what you want to see?"

"...Who is the pervert?"

After putting the stones back together and letting the watermelon continue to soak in the low-temperature underground water, Naruse also swam to a slightly deeper place on Naoko's side and let the river water submerge his body.

"Harumi's school in Tokyo should have a swimming pool, right?" Hikaru Takigawa asked.

Haixing also looked over, and he nodded, "From elementary school to high school, but I only took swimming lessons a few times in the swimming pool of the high school, and then I came back."

"When will Jingao get a swimming pool?"

"After you graduate."

"Ah, no."

After soaking for a while, Hikaru Takigawa continued his previous activities, carrying stones to build a dam, and then invited Naruse to join him.

"It can't be piled up," Naruse said. "The river is so wide and the current is so strong. If you want to avoid being washed away, you can only pile more rocks. It's too laborious."

Sen Jian suddenly laughed.

Takigawa Hikaru ignored it and continued to incite: "Just for fun, why don't we just soak in the water?"

"Ok."

He still came over to dive and move rocks together.

Naoko and Morimi also joined one after another. They worked for two or three hours, but they only made a gap in the water.

"Have you ever felt that after the enclosure, the water flow became obviously larger?"

"It's not that exaggerated, it's just a little bigger."

"No?" Hikari Takigawa stood at the gap, feeling the impact of the water flow.

Morimi swam around and lay on Haixing's shoulder, "It's almost time to go up. After soaking for an afternoon, I feel like I'm all swollen."

"Then go up and come back tomorrow."

"Are you still coming tomorrow?"

"Let's talk about it later." Naruse pulled Naoko to swim to the water's edge, and then pulled her to stand up.

Starfish followed and climbed ashore, "My body feels so heavy..."

"Excellent student, explain it to her."

Morimi glanced at him and then looked at Haixing.

"Starfish should understand - don't shake your head. If you shake your head, you won't get any watermelon."

"……why is it like this."

Takigawa Hikaru picked up the watermelon and said, "It feels like the watermelon has become heavy."

It was about four o'clock when several people came ashore. The power of the scorching sun was slightly reduced, but it was still fierce.

"Can you dry your clothes?"

"Yes, as long as you stand under the sun."

"I feel like I'll have a heat stroke first..."

"Let's go back first."

Back at Morimi's house, several people sat down next to each other. Naruse took the watermelon to the kitchen, rinsed it again, and then cut it open with a knife.

"I found the fruit knife...you are quite familiar with my kitchen." Morimi came in from outside and hugged him directly.

"Hey……"

"Don't worry, they are all sitting outside."

Naruse cut the watermelon into small pieces and gave the first piece to her first.

She took a bite and raised an eyebrow.

"How does it taste? Is it sweet?" Naruse asked.

She swallowed, took another bite, and pushed the tip of her tongue into his mouth.

"You'll know after you try it yourself...well..."
