Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 548 Letter from an Acquaintance
Takigawa Hikaru first went to the restoration department and found that no one was there, then returned to the teaching building to find Naruse.

Before, the first thing she did when she came up was probably to complain to him, but now she said nothing.

After leaving Class A of the second year, the two went downstairs to the club room.

"What is Class E's cultural festival project?" Naruse asked.

"Play a movie." Hikaru Takigawa replied.

He looked over: "Homemade movie?"

"Ah."

Naruse recalled the cultural festival project of Class E last year, which seemed to also show movies shot by students during the summer vacation.

Last year's Class E and this year's Class E had the same teacher.

"Are you serving as a teacher's guide?"

Takigawa Hikari nodded, "Last year Kazuha and Haisei's class made a movie, which was the idea of ​​becoming teachers."

"Then who wrote this year's script?"

"She is also a student of Class E, Kajie Miko. Do you know Harumi?"

"I have no impression." Naruse shook his head, and then asked: "Have you just seen the content of the movie?"

"Ah."

"Does it look good?"

She pursed her lower lip and said, "It's hard to say."

He smiled and said, "Then I'll go to Class E and see for myself."

"Ah."

When she went downstairs, she broke free from his hand. When she came to the annex building, there was no one around, and Naruse held her hand again.

"I didn't plan to come here today..."

He pulled her and continued to climb the stairs, "But if you stay in the classroom any longer, you might need my help, so I'd better come out quickly."

"..."

Hikari Takigawa followed behind, looking down at the hand he was holding.

She had never felt that holding hands had much special meaning before. It was very common for her to take the initiative to hold his hand, or to be held by him.

——She never thought before that one day she would need to avoid the sight of others even for such things.

After being pulled up the stairs, she looked at his side face and asked, "Did Class A encounter any trouble?"

"I have a goal, but no specific plan. I am still struggling with some insignificant things, but there is no movement on the things that should be prepared."

"Chunhai made a plan for them." She had seen it just now.

"Yeah." He turned to look at her, "When did the light come up?"

"Send Yiye down, then...turn around a little, and then come up."

"I didn't even notice it just now."

Arriving on the fourth floor, Naruse opened the door of the department room and found a letter of commission on the ground that he had not seen for a long time.

Judging by the date, this letter of authorization was delivered yesterday afternoon.

"Repair the broken ceramic ornaments..."

The content of the commission letter is quite serious, but I don’t know if the people at the handicraft club are free at this time.

Naruse looked at the client's name and class again. She was a first-year girl.

He thought for a moment, "Does Guang have time now?"

Takikawa nodded.

"Then help me go to the first-grade school and see if this girl has returned."

Naruse gave her the letter of entrustment, "If not, just ask about the specific situation. It would be best if you can get photos or something."

"no problem."

Takigawa Hikaru agreed directly, and Naruse left the club room with her, "I'll go to the handicraft club to see if they are free."

"Ah."

The two separated on the second floor. Naruse came to the handicraft club. Seeing that Naoko didn't look too busy, he asked her directly.

"I'm free, if I just return to my original state."

"Okay, once it's delivered, I'll take it over here."

"Okay." Shangzi nodded, then smiled again, "Speaking of which, the restoration department hasn't had any serious commissions for a long time."

Naruse knew what she was talking about and felt a little helpless, "There have been very few improper commissions recently."

"Hmm. Has the matter in Class A been resolved?"

"Class A..."

He stayed in the handicraft club for a while and chatted with Naoko. When he returned to the restoration department, Takigawa Hikaru had already come up.

"Ozawa-kun said he would bring all the pieces over tomorrow."

"How did it break into pieces? Do you have any photos?" Naruse asked.

"Have."

Takigawa Hikaru took out his mobile phone, rummaged through it, and showed it to him.

The ceramic ornament in the photo looks like a Russian matryoshka doll. It is not particularly broken, but the pattern on the surface is very delicate. It may not be easy for a few high school students to completely restore it to look like new.Naruse took a few glances and asked, "Did Ozawa-kun say how far he wanted to repair it?"

"Restore it to its original shape. The cracks should not be too obvious. They should not be visible from three or four meters away."

Hikaru Takigawa repeated the client's words, "This thing belongs to Mr. Ozawa's father's collection. It is usually just placed on the bookshelf and will not be taken down."

"And then she broke it accidentally, but you didn't dare to let your family find out?"

She smiled, "Yeah."

"I see."

Naruse sent the photo to his mobile phone, and then sent it to Naoko, relaying the client's request.

After a while, Shangzi sent a reply saying that there was no problem.

"OK, let's wait until the things are delivered tomorrow."

Naruse put down the phone and leaned back, "If you leave Ozawa-san's contact information, you can also ask her to send it directly to the handicraft club tomorrow."

"I forgot." Takigawa Hikaru stood up, "Then I'll go find her now."

Naruse grabbed her and said, "There's no need to go all the way."

She sat down again.

The entrusted matter came to an end for the time being, and the two of them returned to their previous state of doing nothing.

Putting the commission letters in the drawer, Naruse felt that it was a little messy. He simply took out all the commission letters that were no different from love letters and prepared to organize them again.

A seat away, Takigawa Hikaru sat next to him and watched, and also helped clean up.

"What are these things for?" She had come here often before and still knew what the actual contents of these commission letters were.

"Because I don't know what to do with it."

Naruse shook his head, "It doesn't seem good to throw it directly to the garbage room. If it is not cleaned up in time, it will be even more troublesome if others see it... I might as well put it here. The drawer is not big, so it can accommodate a little more." There is still room for letters.”

Takigawa Hikaru didn't say anything, and flipped through it again, and the movement suddenly paused.

"What's wrong."

"I saw the name of an acquaintance."

Naruse glanced over, but didn't see the name clearly, "First grade?"

"Second grader." Hikaru Takigawa took out the letter, "Sakura Mikoto from Class C."

The letters will be placed here. They must have been opened and read and the contents have been confirmed. However, he has not read many of them himself. Basically, Morimi and Haixing helped him open them when they came here before.

After all, it is a letter of commission in name only, and everyone in the restoration department will see it the same.

"Would you like to open it and take a look?"

Takigawa Hikaru looked at the envelope for a while, then put it down, "I'm afraid that after reading it, I will think of this letter when I see her again."

Naruse raised his eyebrows and put forward another view:
"If you haven't read it, as long as you remember this letter when you meet her, you will pay more attention to the content inside."

"..."

She looked at him for a few seconds and then picked up the letter.

"I haven't seen it either," Naruse said.

Takigawa Hikaru looked at him again, understood his hint, moved to the empty space in the middle, opened the letter, and placed it between them.

"..."

There was no surprise, the content of the letter was indeed a wooing to him.

The content was not long, just two paragraphs, but the boldness of the words and sentences far exceeded her expectations.

Takigawa Hikaru looked at the envelope again, and only then did he notice that there was another sentence on it, "Known by Naruse-san."

Seeing a familiar person reveal such a side that he had never seen before without knowing it, Takigawa Hikaru felt an inexplicable sense of shame, as if he was the one being treated like this.

And along with it, there's a little bit of voyeuristic excitement.

"..."

She took a breath to expel this feeling from her mind, and her eyes stayed on the name on the envelope again.

Mikoto is obviously in Class C, so she should know very well that Naoko, who is also in Class C, is Harumi's girlfriend, and she actually writes such a letter of love...

There was no need to read the content anymore. Hikaru Takigawa turned her eyes to see his reaction, and he was also looking at her.

"Light's friends are quite bold."

"……Um."

"Do you regret reading this letter?"

Takigawa Hikaru was a little helpless, "I just want to forget everything now."

He smiled, took her hand and moved closer.

"Remember something else and you will forget it."

She was stunned for a moment and suddenly understood.

"……no."

His hand tightened again, and her retreat was weak and slow.

Eyes facing each other, breath can be heard.

"No... um..."
