Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 510
The continuous sunny days have made the firewood piled in the warehouse dry, making it much easier to light a fire than last time.

Watching a small flame slowly enlarge and gradually engulf the firewood piled on top, Naruse and Takigawa Hikaru looked at each other and both smiled.

It was completely dark.

After finishing one round, they felt that time was almost up, so they came over and lit a bonfire.

"Can you bring the meat skewers over and grill them directly?"

"The bamboo stick is too short and burns easily. It's tiring to hold it all the time."

"Well... also."

Takigawa Hikari squatted down and added another piece of firewood to the fire as soon as it started to burn.

"If you add some cooking oil, it will burn more vigorously."

Naruse shook his head, "You can just pour a little when lighting the fire, it would be too much waste. Didn't you see Naoko's expression just now?"

She smiled and looked back at Yuan Si.

Shangzi and the other three were sitting there, looking at the flames here.

"I went down to the river to play in the water, had a barbecue over the bonfire, and stayed overnight. I did a lot of things today."

"Ah."

"It would be nice if I could do this every day."

Naruse exhaled and looked at the dancing flames in front of him, his expression becoming a little dazed.

"I still have to go to school..."

Takigawa Hikaru turned to look at him and suddenly smiled.

"Let's go have another drink."

"Still drinking, you've already drank two cans."

"Shangzi only drank half of the can. The remaining can would be a waste if you don't drink it."

"You always have a reason." Throwing a piece of firewood into the bonfire, Naruse stood up and returned to the edge.

Sitting down next to Naoko, he picked up the beer and took a sip.

"Continue the barbecue?"

"Let's take a little rest." Naruse said.He is neither full nor hungry, he is in an in-between state.

"I'll bake it." Haixing thought he was tired and stood up on his own initiative.

Naruse looked at her and didn't say much. Anyway, when the meat is roasted, someone will eat it - in fact, no one will eat it, including herself.

Takigawa Hikaru also returned here, "The fire must be burning brightly."

"Yeah." Mori looked over there, "The fire is so high, I think passers-by will call the police if they see it."

"Aha... there are no passers-by at this time."

She turned around, took out another can of beer from the bag, and opened it with a pop.

"Still drinking." Senmi glanced at her, "One can is only 350 ml. You've already drank two cans, isn't your stomach full?"

"what--"

Takigawa Hikaru took a big sip, raised his head and let out a breath.

"not bad."

"Beer is a diuretic. Just hold it in for a while and save it for later to put out the fire before going to bed."

"What is Kazuya talking about..."

Haixing's face was a little red, and Naruse also looked over.
Morimi picked up the beer with more than half of it left and took a sip, "I'm drunk."

"Hahaha." Takigawa Hikaru himself didn't care, "I can't hold it in for that long...ah, here comes the feeling."

She put down her beer, got up and went inside.

"We can't let her drink it." Naruse said, "Hide the can of wine, find an empty can for her, and just say that you just finished drinking it."

Morimi glanced at him, "Do you think she's stupid? She's not drunk yet."

"I think she's a little wobbly when she walks."

She still found an empty can that Takigawa Hikaru had finished drinking, then poured some beer into it and hid most of the remaining can.

Naoko watched her actions silently, and then said to her boyfriend: "Harunhai can't drink anymore."

"Yeah." He shook the beer in his hand, "There's only a little left."

After going to the bathroom, Hikari Takigawa came back soon, and Morimi asked Haixing to bring her some skewers of barbecue.

"Huh? Thanks~"

She bit into the skewers, and Haixing distributed the rest to several others. He kept two skewers for himself, and then continued grilling.

"The starfish is delicious when grilled."

"hey-hey."

After eating two skewers, Hikaru Takigawa picked up the beer, felt that the portion was not right, shook it, and put it down again.

"It was wrong."

She picked up Morimi's beer next to her and felt it was a little closer.

"Wait a minute, that's mine..."

"Goo-goo-"

She had already drank two large gulps.

Morimi glared, and Naruse shook his head.

"Guang, don't drink it after finishing this can."

"okay."

Morimi stood up again and took out the half-can of beer he had hidden. Takigawa Hikaru glanced at it and didn't care at all.

"I'll grill it." Shangzi stood up to take over from Haixing and grilled the meat.

Biting into the meat skewers he had just grilled, Haixing looked around, then turned to the bonfire.

Morimi also stood up and went over, throwing two pieces of firewood inside.

"It's so hot..." Starfish murmured as he stared at the bonfire, but didn't move any further.

Bright, warm or hot, and a little dangerous, even with technological leaps and bounds, the flames dancing in the dark can still fascinate people like how Homo sapiens started his own fire for the first time tens of millions of years ago.Morimi squatted aside, looking at the flames, but he thought a little deeper.

"How about burning that diary too..."

"Eh? What diary?" Haixing looked over.

"A diary of a friend of mine."

She didn't look at her, "I found it at another friend's house, and I took it back. I originally planned to use it for something, but now it's no longer necessary... Or rather, if I take it out now, it will cause some trouble." A lot of trouble."

"Ah, oh."

Haixing didn't understand at all.

Looking away from the flames, Morimi turned to look at her for a while.

"Everyone has selfish motives. I believe Haixing will understand me the same way I understood you before."

"what?"

"I mean give me the skewers of meat you haven't eaten yet."

"Oooh...?"

Starfish gave her the meat skewer in a daze.

After taking the meat skewers, Morimi put it on the fire and grilled it.

"It's already cooked..." Haixing felt that his barbecue skills were being questioned.

She smiled, "Just a little heat."

The bamboo stick was very short, and when she got closer, she felt it was too hot, so she pulled away again.

She burned it randomly on the fire, took a bite, held it between her teeth and blew on it twice.

"Hiss...it becomes very hot after being roasted for a while."

"Is this delicious?" Haixing looked at her.

"The flavor is very unique." Morimi said as he swallowed the chicken pieces.

"Then I'll try too..."

Seeing the two people grilling meat skewers by the campfire, Takigawa Hikaru laughed and stood up.

"Don't fall into the fire." Naruse reminded.

"What do you say?"

"drunk."

"I have no problem riding now."

"You were already drunk when you said such words." Naruse looked at her and said.

"what."

Takigawa Hikaru was stunned for a few seconds.

"I forgot...just kidding, I don't know how to ride a bike."

After that, she swung over to the bonfire and squatted down between the two of them.

"Isn't Guang really drunk..." Shangzi was a little worried about her state.

"It's just that the mood was too high and a bit indulgent." Naruse said, drank the last bit of beer, stood up and turned the meat slices on the grill.

"It's all done."

Shangzi stretched out his plate and asked him to take it off first and then distribute it to the plates of others.

"It's better to grill more kebabs. They seem to like to process them on the campfire themselves."

"Uh-huh." She gave him a few more meat skewers.

After eating and resting for a while, drinking beer and having fun, everyone was very happy.

The charcoal in the grill was added several times, and an unknown amount of firewood was thrown into the campfire. The flames were always burning high.

Mori saw that he also received a call from his parents. After listening to a few words, his face showed a bit of laughter and tears.

"What's wrong?" Naruse asked after hanging up the phone.

"Someone actually thought my house was on fire when they passed by and called my dad."

Shangzi smiled and said, "We should set off some fireworks so that no one will misunderstand us."

"Fireworks...ah, you can also buy them in supermarkets, why didn't you think of it before!" Takigawa Hikaru was very regretful.

"Go and buy it now?" Haixing looked at them.

"how to get to?"

"Riding a bike?"

"Everyone has drunk." Naruse said again.

Haixing glanced at him and hesitated to speak.

“If you just drink, the consequences are controllable, but riding a bike after drinking is different.”

"I only drank half a can..."

"But you're starting to feel dizzy, aren't you."

"No." Haixing was surprised. She felt that she was still awake.

"What is element number 26 on the periodic table?"

"..."

Haixing was silent for a long time and asked tentatively: "Iron?"

Naruse raised his eyes, then lowered them, "Look how long it takes you to react. If you were riding a bicycle on the road, such a long reaction time would be enough for you to drink a full stomach of farmland mud."

"..."

Haixing was speechless, but felt that this was not a problem of reflexes.

Sensei laughed.

"Since you can't ride a bike, forget it. Do you want to play something else, like hide and seek?"
