Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 539
Amid the lull, the second week of school came to an end quickly.For two days on the weekend, Naruse accompanied Naoko to school.

At the beginning of the new week, during the gymnasium assembly in the morning, the dean of students indeed mentioned the second-grade outing tomorrow.

Most of the students had just received the news at this time, and there were some who were mourning and some who were happy, but in general, it was the latter - even if they were exhausted outside, it was more interesting than staying in the classroom.

"I really went to Oirase Stream to climb the mountain..." Morimi couldn't help but sigh.

Naruse turned to look at her, "Didn't you already know that?"

"Actually, until just now, I still had some expectations of going to other places or just having a look." Morimi said.

He smiled.

"Are you ready for the hike?"

"more or less."

"It's not about pretending to be sick."

"you guess."

After the assembly, on the way out of the gym and back to class, Morimi invited her boyfriend to go to the bathroom with her, but to no avail, she went with her female friend.

When she came out alone, Hikaru Takigawa happened to come over.

"Light."

"One leaf..."

The two said hello, Takigawa Hikari entered the bathroom, and Morimi waited for Ogasawara outside for a while.

"I thought I saw light coming in."

"I saw it."

The two walked to the classroom.

"I feel like since the beginning of this semester, every time I see the light, I seem to have no energy." Ogasawara said, shaking his head again, "It's not that I have no energy, it's just that I'm not as enthusiastic as before."

Morimi pursed her lower lip and looked forward, "She has something on her mind."

Ogasawara looked at her and asked, "Is it related to Kazuha?"

"She's one of my closest friends, if not related."

"What a sly answer."

Sen Jian smiled.

"I'm not energetic either, why didn't you notice?"

"Ichiyo doesn't look like he's listless. Rather, it's quite the opposite. He's even more radiant."

"yes."

"right."

Back in the classroom, the two of them returned to their seats.

Ogasawara changed his position and still sat closer to the front. After sitting down, he turned his head and glanced again.

Still a few meters away, Kazuyo already had a smile on his face, went to the seat and sat down directly towards the back, and then lay down on the desk in the back seat.

"I don't seem to have any energy here..."

Ogasawara could even vaguely guess the actual reason why she looked so radiant this semester.

She didn't dare to think too deeply, let alone ask.

"If Kazuha feels this is right..."

Before the boy opposite his friend looked over, Ogasawara withdrew his gaze and patted his cheek with his still wet hands.

"Hey, whatever."

This is not something she can control.

"What are you looking at?" Morimi turned his head and looked along Naruse's line of sight, but found nothing.

"It's nothing."

Naruse shook his head, thinking it was his imagination, and took his hand out of hers.

"Have you been too arrogant these past two days? You haven't gone to class yet, and there are people watching everywhere."

Sen raised his eyes and sat up with support, "It's just a hand touch. It doesn't matter if others see it. It's better to get used to it sooner."

Naruse heard other meanings in her words, "What else do you want to do?"

"Sit on your lap?"

He took a breath, rolled his eyes, and didn't bother to pay attention to her.

Morimi pinched him lightly on the arm again.

"I just hit the light."

"You just said that."

"Are you going to continue playing the sit-down game with her in the club room today?"

Naruse pursed his lower lip, "If she is willing to come."

Morimi looked at him for a while and asked, "Can I come over today."

"There's nothing you can't."

"Afraid of spoiling your good deeds."

"You said you were sitting quietly, just reading a book."

Before the first class in the morning started, she seemed to have already made plans for what she would do after school in the afternoon.

But when it was time for school to end, she changed her mind again.

"Today is Monday. There is a quiz at the study school. Let's go there tomorrow... I happen to be going for a hike tomorrow. When I get back, I probably won't have the energy to go to class."

"If you want to call and cry after the test results come out, it's best to do it while I'm still in the department."

Morijian hummed, picked up his schoolbag and left first.

Naruse also tidied up and went to the clubroom with Naoko who came after him.

When we came to the restoration department again, not long after, Hikaru Takigawa came over.These days, she always comes alone, never with them.

And every time before coming here, she would go to the handicraft club first to let Shangzi see her.

She herself doesn't know how much practical significance this kind of reporting behavior has, but every time she sees Shangzi's face, it can cool down her expectations before going upstairs... at least it can cool down a little, so that she won't be in a hurry. Make mistakes.

She hoped that would be the case today.

"I'm going hiking at Oirase Stream tomorrow." Naruse said when she came in.

"Ah."

Takigawa Hikaru looked at it and didn't sit in the back. Instead, he sat in the same row with him, one on the left and one on the right, sitting at opposite ends.

"You don't plan to ride there by yourself, do you?" Naruse suddenly asked again.

She was startled for a moment, then curled her lips, "Even if I had this plan, I would not agree to it as a teacher."

"The light has matured."

"..."

Should she be happy to be praised like this by him?
Before Takigawa Hikaru could come to a conclusion, he had already withdrew his gaze and continued to read the book in his hand.

She looked at him for a while, but still couldn't help asking: "Does Chunhai have this plan?"

"What?...Did you say go to Lake Towada by bike? Forget it. You can go for a ride when you have free time. You have to be more gregarious tomorrow."

"so……"

Naruse continued the conversation, "How long does it take to get there by bike?"

"It takes almost two hours by bus. It won't be much faster than this time by bike, and it won't be too long either," Hikaru Takigawa said.

"I can't even remember the last time I went there."

Naruse leaned back and recalled, "I just remember that there were mountains along the way. It was still the same when we got to Lake Towada. We can only see some buildings by the lake until we reach East Lake."

"Um……"

Takigawa Hikaru didn't know if he remembered it more clearly, or if he was passing the message to himself, "I went there when I was in fourth grade."

"Really? I remember that I took a boat ride on the lake for a long time at that time. Unfortunately, this time I only went up to the mountains and didn't get to play on the water."

"If we want to take a boat, we won't have enough time."

"That's right. We have to climb the mountain again and again. It's already seven or eight hours of just doing it."

Takigawa Hikaru nodded. He didn't say much and lowered his head to read.

It seems that this is the end of the topic for tomorrow.

After sitting idle for a while, she felt a little restless again.

After getting up and turning around, she sat down in the seat near the back and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

——The uneasiness seems to come only from sitting in the same row, turning to look at him too obviously.

"Are you bored?" Naruse asked with his back turned.

"……fine."

He turned around and said, "Thank you for coming to stay with me."

Takigawa Hikaru pursed his lower lip and did not respond.

He turned around, and she continued to sit blankly. Not wanting to appear too bored, she fiddled with her phone as she had done the past few days.

Until there was other noise in the club room.

buzzing-

Takigawa Hikaru raised his head and Naruse answered the phone. He laughed first and then said two awesome words.

"Here he is. Nothing to do. Probably. Nothing to show off to her... Well, that's it."

After hanging up the phone, he looked back at her and explained specifically: "It's Kazuha. She got the highest score in the test at the study school."

Do you need to call him to tell him this?

"awesome."

"Yes. But if you want to get admitted to Beijing University, this is not enough."

Takigawa Hikaru was speechless again.

And he still looked at her.

"Guang said before, what am I suitable for?"

She was stunned for a moment and said almost without thinking, "Teacher."

He smiled and took another deep breath.

"Well, then I'll be a teacher."

After he finished speaking, he turned around. Takigawa Hikaru opened his mouth, hesitated, and then got up and walked to his side.

He raised his head.

"Why did you say that suddenly?" Takigawa Hikaru asked.

"Because it's time for me to think about a way out."

She looked at him, "I mean, why a teacher?"

"Because it's the light's suggestion."

"..."

"I myself feel that this seems to be a good choice." Naruse added, "That is to say, I am also very happy with it."

Takigawa Hikari was silent for half a minute.

"What Harumi means...are you leaving here?"

　Only then did I realize that I had always thought of "Lake Towada" as "Lake Toshoda"... Although it has appeared a few times now, I can't change the previous one, so let's leave it at that.
