Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 546 Morrowind
The morning light dewed, and a new day began. Hikari Takigawa woke up naturally before the alarm clock rang, and then got up.

She walked to the window, opened the curtains, squinted her eyes and looked outside, breathing in the morning air, and was in a daze for a while.

Yesterday's distant hike was like a dream. The memory and everything else had gradually faded away with sleep. Only the slight soreness in her legs still existed, reminding her that she had indeed hiked in the mountains yesterday. More than ten kilometers.

"It's really uncomfortable..."

Taking a breath, Takigawa Hikaru bent down and pinched his calf.

After taking a moment to calm down, she realized that she seemed to have woken up too early.Looking at the time again, she saw that it had been so long since she woke up, and there was still half an hour before the alarm clock went off.

She had no intention of going back to sleep.

After going downstairs, my parents had just gotten up.

"Kang woke up very early today."

"Can't sleep..."

She looked outside. The sun had just risen, and everything in the early morning seemed different from usual.

"I'm going out for a walk."

"Ok?"

"Just take a stroll and be back soon."

"There is no milk at home. When Guang comes back, remember to bring a carton of milk."

"I know." Hikaru Takigawa put on his shoes, got up and went out.

The path in front of the house extends from the prefectural road, and the other side connects to the farmland. If you keep going forward, you can reach the prefectural road leading to Morimi's house, and you can also walk to Naruse's house.

It's just that it is a small road after all, less than half of it is paved with cement, and some places are not easy to walk. She rarely walks this way.

After a slight hesitation, she turned around and walked towards the farmland.

After turning a corner and getting closer, you can smell the unique smell of rice that is about to mature.

It is now mid-September, and the rice in the farmland is gradually changing from dark green to golden yellow, and it will be ready for harvest in a while.

Hikaru Takigawa walked to the farmland and stopped, looking at the large tracts of connected rice in front of him, and the scene of harvesters harvesting back and forth emerged in his mind.

Because she has to go to school during the day, she hasn't seen the nearby farmland being harvested for a long time.It is often when I suddenly come back to my senses that I notice that there are only stubbles of straw left in the farmland.

There are both orchards and farmland nearby, and from her feet to the edge of the Nanmu River, a large area in between is planted with rice.The heavy ears of rice swayed slightly in the morning breeze, accompanied by the occasional chirping of insects. On the other side in the distance was Morimi's house.

The yard of Morimi's house is so big that it stands out like a castle in the Tsuzen countryside where there are few large buildings.

Especially since there is a vast area nearby and there are no other houses.

Takigawa Hikaru looked at it for a few times, then withdrew his gaze and continued walking along the path beside the fields.

After bypassing several difficult places, the path splits into two, leading to the prefectural road. Turning to the right, it connects the houses of the Naruse family and the Nobana family.

Hikaru Takigawa walked to the right and soon arrived at the door of Naruse's house.

She just didn't want to take the too long road ahead, and she didn't intend to stop here, so she walked very quickly.

Until someone called her.

"Light."

"..."

She raised her head, and Naruse stood by the second-floor window, looking at her below in slight surprise.

"You came to me?"

"...just passing by."

"Passing by?" The extent of his leaning out of the window made her a little frightened when she looked down, "Coming from that way?"

"Ah."

"walk?"

"Um……"

Naruse nodded, as if he wanted to say something, but stopped.

The two looked at each other for a while, neither speaking again.

Looking around his face, Takigawa Hikaru waved his hand and continued to move forward.

After coming out of the alleyway of Naruse's house, she didn't continue wandering around. She went to the convenience store and bought a large box of milk, and then went home.

"I am back."

"Having gone around in a circle, are you feeling a little more energetic?"

"More or less...my legs are still a little sore."

"We walked a lot yesterday. It won't last long."

He put the milk in the refrigerator and while washing himself, Takikawa Hikaru stared at himself in the mirror for a while.

After fiddling with her bangs, she pursed her lips again and looked at her face from various angles.

"..."

At a certain moment, she suddenly sighed.

She lowered her head and splashed water on her face. She closed her eyes and let the cold water flow down her cheeks and then drip down.

After washing up and coming out, breakfast is almost ready.

After eating breakfast and waiting for the agreed time, she slowly got on the car and went out. As soon as she got on the road, she saw Morimi and Haixing in front of her.

She followed for a while, and when she reached the intersection, she picked up her speed and followed him.

"Good morning."

"Good morning." Morimi looked at her, then turned to look further back, but did not see Naruse.

"Is your leg okay?" Hikaru Takigawa asked. "not good at all."

Mori saw a look of helplessness on his face, "After sleeping all night, I feel sore and painful in the morning, and I feel terribly uncomfortable. When I get to school later, you have to help me go upstairs, otherwise I can only crawl up the stairs. ”

"..."

Where is this obscene?

Takigawa Hikaru didn't bother to ask in detail, but he still agreed.

"Where's the starfish?"

"I'm okay...although my legs are still a little sore."

"After all, Haixing used to ride a bicycle a lot, so I'm almost used to it."

"This is much more tiring than riding a bicycle... it's more than ten kilometers."

As they spoke, the red light turned green, and the three of them continued to move forward. When they stopped again, they reached the school's carport.

After parking the car, Morimi hung on Hikaru Takigawa on the way to the teaching building.

In this state, don't even expect her to be able to change her shoes while standing on her own.

Takigawa Hikaru could only continue to support her, first changed her shoes, and then helped her all the way up to the fourth floor and sent her to the classroom.

"Thank you, it was a big help." Morimi sat down, moved his legs a little and grinned.

"Ichiyo is too weak."

"There's nothing I can do about it. I'm just like this, and I can't change it even if I want to."

"If you exercise a little every day, you will improve a lot." Hikaru Takigawa said.

"How can I not have time to exercise?"

"The journey from the bookstore to my home, running back and forth every day, is also considered exercise."

Morimi glared, "Then my original driver's license was not in vain?"

"I ride my bike when I go to school."

She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll think about it."

Takigawa Hikaru also smiled, understanding that she still didn't take it seriously, "I'm going up."

"It's still early, why don't you just wait for him to come over?"

"..."

She glanced at the seat behind her and said, "No wait."

Morimi didn't say much, watched Hikari Takigawa leave the classroom of Class A, and then took out a book of exercises and started doing them.

About ten minutes later, she felt someone stop beside her.

She raised her head, and Naruse was still staring at a certain question in the exercise book, frowning slightly, seeming to be thinking.

"Don't look at it. If you only look at it a few times, you can make it without writing..."

He looked at her, "How is it?"

Morimi tilted his head toward the window next to him, "I'll jump out of here."

Naruse smiled, he really hadn't done it yet.

Although the idea of ​​​​solving the problem was clear, the calculation on paper was still indispensable. He could not calculate it just by staring.

"You can't even climb up now." He raised his foot and lightly touched her calf.

"Hiss..." Morijian suddenly frowned and waved his hand, "You want to die."

Naruse easily avoided it and returned to his seat to sit down.

"Are your legs still hurting?"

She turned around, glared at him, and replied: "It would be okay if you don't move."

"You've saved yourself a lot of distance by being lazy. If you had walked the whole way, your legs would have been broken today."

"You are overthinking it. If you go all the way, I would have died yesterday."

Naruse clicked his tongue, "Then how do you get downstairs?"

She glared: "I won't go downstairs all day today. Last night, I slept in the room downstairs."

"It's really hard." He shook his head, "You'd better exercise a little bit."

"Someone said that just now."

He raised an eyebrow, "Light?"

Morimi held his head with one hand and looked at him, "She asked me to run back and forth between home and the bookstore."

"Isn't this suitable for you?"

"It's still a little too intense for me...I still prefer the passive exercise of lying still."

"..."

"Look at you, all the obscene thoughts in your head are written on your face."

Naruse really didn't want to pay attention to her, and knowing that Hikari Takigawa had said the same thing, he didn't bother to persuade her, "Go ahead and do your question, and let me be quiet for a while."

Morimi snorted and turned around.

Seeing that she quickly focused seriously on the topic in front of her, he didn't interrupt her and turned to look out the window.

The morning wind was still blowing, just like when he opened the window in the morning and saw the light of Takigawa.
