Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 531 Buddha Beads and Wooden Fish (please vote for me)

I had classes during the day and was busy with club activities in the afternoon. In the blink of an eye, Friday was the first week of school.

After school was over in the afternoon, Naruse came to the club room as usual, and Morimi followed him.

"Won't Haixing come over today?"

She asked, still clearly remembering the sad look on Haixing's face when he came to the restoration department yesterday afternoon and saw her.

She felt a little innocent, after all, she was dragged here by him yesterday.

Then, Haixing stayed here coquettishly for half an hour, and then went to work in the cafe.

"I don't know." Naruse said, "I didn't see her just now, and I didn't say hello in advance. Who knows if she will come."

Morimi didn't say anything. He walked slowly around the club room and stopped in front of one of the shelves, looking at the things on it.

"Excuse me……"

A sound from the door attracted both her and her boyfriend's attention.

"The registration for the flea market is here, right?" A first-year girl poked her head at the door of the department room, her eyes moving back and forth between the two of them.

"Yes." Naruse nodded, "Please come in."

The girl responded, but did not come in directly. Instead, she picked up a big bag placed at the door and dragged it into the club room.

Naruse looked at it twice and pursed his lower lip.

Didn't she just bring the things she wanted to sell?
"I heard that registration needs to be reviewed first, so I brought everything here."

"..."

It really is.

How did she hear about it?
There was a sound of brisk footsteps from behind, Naruse turned around, and Morimi came back to sit next to him, "Let's take a look."

There is no more direct review than looking at the real thing. Naruse nodded and motioned for her to follow suit.

"Ok."

The first-year schoolgirl dragged the bag in front of the two of them, then took out the contents one by one and placed them on the table.

A stuffed bear with one ear missing, a mottled old alarm clock, and a slightly worn plate are all common and nothing special.

Just as Naruse was thinking this, she took out another string of beads from the bag.

Why do they look like Buddhist beads?

As soon as he picked it up and took a look, the school girl took out another wooden fish and a wooden fish stick.

"Is this the wooden fish used by monks?" Morimi couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." The school girl nodded, "My family runs a temple, which is near the school."

"..."

She and her boyfriend looked at each other, looking at each other.

Tsudaka is located in Shindera Town, Tsuzene City. As you can see from its name, there are many temples in the town. And just around Tsudaka, there are at least dozens of temples, large and small, gathered together.

There are usually cemeteries in the backyards of temples, and dense tombstones line both sides of the way many Tsugao students go to school.

In the school, if you look out from the windows on higher floors, you can also see the nearby Saisho-in and the large cemetery behind it. The teachers and students are almost used to this environment.

However, it was the first time for both Naruse and Morimi to come into contact with people in that environment.

"Can this be sold?" He put down the beads and picked up the wooden fish. It looked mottled and seemed to be decades old.

"It can be sold, no problem."

The school girl continued to dig out things used by monks. There were several strings of Buddhist beads of various colors.

"Since my grandfather passed away last year, and my father was unwilling to inherit the monastery, no one in my family has become a monk. I said that I should take the things to the flea market and sell them, and my parents agreed."

"Can it really be sold..." Naruse muttered while holding the beads. What she was worried about was not her family, but the student union.

"Is there any problem?" the school girl asked.

"Don't rush outside to get it yet."

Naruse put down the prayer beads, took out his mobile phone, and took a few photos of the things on the table, "I'll ask the person in charge."

"Oh."

I sent the photo to the student council president and after a while, she sent a reply.

Fumiko Yoshioka: As long as the family agrees, then there is no problem.

Naruse: OK.

"No problem." Putting away the phone, Naruse also stood up and came out, helping to take the remaining things out of the bag.

In addition to the school girl's childhood toys and some dishes that were no longer used at home, the remaining Buddhist supplies were enough to fill two tables.

"And that's all."

"Is there a list of items?" Naruse asked.

The school girl raised her hand and said, "Everything is here."

"What I mean is...forget it, Kazuye, bring out a notebook and remember whatever I say."

Morimi was happy to listen to his instructions, "Okay." Naruse took out his mobile phone and prepared to take a video, starting with ordinary things.

"One ragdoll bear with missing ears."

Morimi picked up a pen to record.

"That bear has one ear." The school girl said.

"It's not important." He shifted the camera, "Mechanical alarm clock, one."

It took a while to record such a large bag of things in this way before it was completely recorded into a list.

"Is this okay?" the school girl asked.

"Ah."

Naruse looked at it a few more times and said, "If you can't sell it at the flea market of the cultural festival... probably it won't be sold. You can go to the second-hand store over there at the central station and ask. Maybe they will sell it there." .Especially this kind of old wooden fish."

"Is that so?"

The school girl nodded to express her understanding, and left after asking if she had any other questions.

"Wait a moment!"

Naruse chased him to the door, "Do you just keep these things here?"

The school girl was surprised, "Do I still want to take it back?"

"Where did you get the news about the flea market..."

Naruse was a little helpless. When he designed the flyers, he paid special attention to avoiding such misunderstandings. As long as he looked carefully, it was impossible to just drag things over like her and then abandon them.

"I heard what my classmates said."

He had to explain it once.

After hearing this, the school girl expressed her understanding and said, "But it will be too troublesome to bring it over when the time comes. Can't it be left with you?"

The restoration department did not lack this space, and these things had already been recorded on the list. It would be troublesome for her to break them when she dragged them back, so Naruse had no choice but to agree.

After sending the schoolgirl away, he returned to the club room and put everything into the bag she brought.

Seeing him coming in alone, Mori Jian was surprised: "What, you just put the things here?"

"Well, she said she was too lazy to move it around...these things are not light, and I don't know how she dragged them here."

"Do they have to be kept here?" She also stood up to help clean up. "There are so many Buddhist supplies in the clubroom. I am embarrassed to do obscene things here."

"..."

Naruse shook his head and ignored it.

After packing the things, he put them in the corner. After thinking about it, he wrote a note and stuck it on the bag.

"So attentive." Morimi hugged him from behind.

"The door is still open." Naruse squeezed her hand, broke away from the embrace, and returned to his seat.

She followed over and said, "Today is Friday. Is there going to be a dinner party after school?"

"If you don't come, Shangzi and I will have to eat outside."

"Of course I'm coming, you know who I'm talking about."

Naruse pursed his lower lip, "If Hikari wants to come, I won't stop him."

"Are you still mad at her?"

In the past two days, he and Takigawa Hikaru could hardly speak.

"No way, I just felt a little embarrassed for a moment. She was angry."

Morimi sat down, "Are I really angry with you?"

He was silent for a few seconds.

"Maybe he's angry with himself."

She raised her gaze and looked at the ceiling, "I can't control it anyway. Don't expect me to say anything to her."

"I know, I didn't have this plan in the first place." Naruse said.

Morimi lowered his gaze and sighed again.

"It's so annoying. It's rare that it's almost the weekend and you still want to relax, so I shouldn't come over...forget it, I've already come here, let's do it once."

Naruse rolled his eyes.

"Don't do it?"

"Didn't you say you were embarrassed to do obscene things in front of those piles of Buddhist beads, wooden fish, and so on?"

"I'll cover it with clothes."

"Stop it."
