Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 529: Just Cheating
When Naruse handed the compiled list of items to the student council, the student council president, who had not been seen for a long time, happened to be there and asked him to show her the things first.

"It's only been a few days, but the quota is already full? Our student union has just started to promote it."

Fumiko Yoshioka flipped through her notebook. The number of applicants surprised her.

"No." Naruse shook his head, "There are still a dozen places left."

"That's a lot." She turned to the last page of records and looked carefully from back to front. "What are the plans for the remaining dozen places? That's the end of it?"

"How can it be."

Naruse smiled, "It's just that it will take several days or even a week before the remaining places are filled up, so I wanted to bring it to the student union first."

Fumiko Yoshioka looked up at him while flipping through her notebook, "Is there really nothing else?"

Naruse pursed his lower lip, "There is nothing related to the student union."

"Naruse-san, are you in trouble somewhere else?"

"more or less."

"I can still speak well in school. If there is any minor friction with any club..."

"—it's love trouble."

"..."

The student council president looked at him again and stopped talking.

Continuing to flip through a few pages, she put down her notebook, looked in the student union room, and raised her voice: "Hasegawa, take this list and check it, and then select ten places from it for review."

"Okay, President."

A girl stood up and came over and took the notebook.

"Should we start spot checks now?" Naruse said.

"I believe Naruse-san will not cause any trouble for us with the remaining dozen spots."

"of course not."

Fumiko Yoshioka nodded, and then said: "I only come here occasionally now. If Naruse-san has any questions, the same goes for them."

"I understand." Naruse nodded.

The student president was silent for a moment, thoughtfully, and then said:

"By the way, didn't Naruse-san join the executive committee of this cultural festival? I thought that with the experience of the Tsudaka Festival, you would be more actively involved in this matter."

Naruse shook his head, "I don't have that much energy to take care of dozens of classes and clubs."

"I actually prefer Naruse-san to take over this matter..."

The student council president sighed softly, "The first-year executive chairman elected yesterday is very enthusiastic and full of ideas. I believe that he will become a good leader in the near future, but for now, he is still It would be more appropriate for the executive committee to be led by someone who is calmer.”

"Fortunately, the student union led by my senior sister will be on hand to assist. I believe there will be no problem." Naruse said, but he was not worried about her coercing him to help. After all, the list of the Cultural Festival Executive Committee had been finalized yesterday. , she couldn't force herself into it.

Fumiko Yoshioka looked at him: "Naruse-san, why not come to the executive committee as a consultant in the name of being invited by the student union?"

"..."

Naruse admitted that he underestimated the student council president.

"Sorry, I don't have the time at all."

"Ok."

The two chatted for a while. Naruse was afraid that the student council president would have some new plans, so he stood up and left.

"I'll come back tomorrow to get the notes. I'll hand them in next time. It will definitely be time to sort out all the applicants' information."

Fumiko Yoshioka nodded, "I wish Naruse-san all the best."

Returning to the restoration department room, Haixing and Takikawa Hikaru were still waiting here.

"Did anyone come just now?" Naruse asked after sitting down.

"No." Hikari Takigawa shook his head.

"It's almost there. The more positive ones have basically arrived in the past two days." He looked at the neatly arranged list of items in front of him. "The promotion of the student union is still going on. In the next week, the quota should be available." Refill.”

She responded, not really caring.

"Don't you have to work in the cafe today?" Naruse turned his attention to Haixing again.

"My shift is not scheduled today...although if I go there, I will still be asked to help."

"so."

"Um……"

When the words came to an end, the three of them stopped talking.

When the former topic maker chose silence, Naruse even felt that the club of three people was quieter than when he was alone.

The preparations for the flea market were busy with the early promotion and registration, and the final implementation. Although I couldn't completely ignore it, there really wasn't much going on.

In the final analysis, this is just an activity carried out within the school organization. Invisible barriers limit diversity, but it also avoids a lot of trouble.

But now, it has almost entered the middle stage of doing nothing.

After putting the registration information aside, Naruse took out a book and read it.

Hikaru Takigawa looked at him, then looked at the starfish on the other side.She understood that Haixing was still waiting for her to leave.

Sensing her gaze, Haixing also looked over, and the two stared at each other wordlessly for a while.

Just as Hikaru Takigawa was about to speak, Haixing stood up first.

"I'll come back tomorrow." She looked at her and said, then looked at Naruse, "I went to the coffee shop."

Naruse looked over, "At this time?"

"Go sit over there for a while." Haixing said, and added again with emphasis, "I'll come back tomorrow."

Takigawa Hikaru pursed his lower lip.

"There's nothing to do tomorrow, so you don't have to come over." Naruse said.

"I'm coming."

"……whatever."

"I'm leaving." Saying goodbye to them, Haixing turned back as he walked and left the restoration department first.There were only two people left in the club room. Naruse stood up, took the materials to the bookshelf drawer on the other side, and stood there for a while.

The opportunity to be alone suddenly came back, and Hikaru Takigawa hurriedly regained the courage that he had prepared for all day but almost threw away.

She originally wanted to wait for him to come back here before speaking, but he kept standing there, fiddling with the things on the shelf, and seemed not to intend to come over.

Looking at his back, she took a slow breath.

"Does Starfish know about you?"

Naruse looked back at her and said, "No one told her."

She paused for a moment, "Won't you tell her?"

"The starfish itself will know when necessary."

When necessary, do you mean when you are ready to attack the starfish?

"yes."

"Ah."

"..."

The conversation ended again, but that wasn't what she wanted to ask.

"Then when do you plan to tell Naoko?"

Neither is this.

"do not know."

Naruse turned around again and carefully put the things in his hands back on the shelves, "No matter who it is, they are not ready yet, so they can't let her know yet."

Takigawa Hikari pursed her lips.

"Then what did you plan to do?"

"Don't you already know it? It's the same as what I said on the bridge that day."

Her heart suddenly felt empty, and everything she carried began to fall.

"...Is that all?"

Naruse turned back, looked at her and replied, "That's it for now."

Currently……

With her feet on solid ground again, she found that she suddenly felt much more at ease.

And this change was just because of his vague words.

She was almost fed up with this emotional ups and downs.

Naruse returned to the seat next to her and sat down.

"I don't want to hurt anyone, but since I've made this choice, hurt is inevitable. I can only make more preparations and let Shangzi slowly accept this."

"..."

She took a deep breath and turned her head to the other side: "No matter how embarrassing it is, it can't change the fact that you are just cheating."

What on earth did she want to say, and what is she saying now...

Takigawa Hikaru tightened his palms.

After hearing her words, Naruse opened his mouth, unable to refute, and an uncontrollable surge of anger surged in his heart.

He suddenly felt that it was a bit ridiculous that he wanted her understanding.

——No matter how difficult it is for him to say it, he is really just cheating.

Only Yiye would tell him this kind of thing in a beautified way.

"So why are you looking for a cheater like me? I don't need your help now, you can leave."

"..."

Takigawa Hikaru turned to look at him, and an impulse suddenly surged in her heart, making her choose to resist his emotions.

"You're angry?"

"Yes. So you'd better disappear from here."

"What if I don't go?"

"..."

Naruse stared at her for a while.

The first time she came over today was not long after he came over. There were many people in the department at that time, so she took a quick look and slipped away quietly;

The second time I came here was when Haixing had just arrived.

They both seemed intent on saying something to him, alone, so in each other's presence they said nothing.

After Haixing dropped the hint to give her today's time and come back tomorrow, he left first. She probably didn't stay here just to let him know that he was cheating on her.

In the beginning, she didn't come here for this.

His emotions suddenly calmed down, he took a breath and looked away first.

What right does he have to be angry.

"Then I can only let you."

Naruse stood up, picked up the book, walked to the back, and found an empty seat to sit down.

"..."

Hikaru Takigawa looked back at him for a moment.

The two of them sat on both sides of the club room in silence, and neither of them spoke again.

She turned back and sighed silently, that was not what she wanted to say;

He lowered his eyes in silence and turned another page of the book.
