Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 557 Premiere
Arriving at Class E of the second year, Naruse and the others hurriedly hurried, but their movements were still a little slow. There were already many spectators in the classroom.

"Is it because it's a cultural festival premiere?"

"Yes, there are many people who are particularly persistent in this kind of thing."

The first three rows were already full, and they didn't want to be squeezed in the middle, so they simply sat in the last row by the window.

The movie hadn't started yet and the lights in the classroom were on. Morimi quickly noticed a certain figure standing next to the podium.

"I'm going to say hello." She stood up and said.

"Acquaintance?" Naruse also looked at the girl on the stage.

"Well, she's the one who wrote the movie script."

Next to him, Hikaru Takigawa also nodded.

Morimi walked over and started chatting with the movie screenwriter next to the podium. Naruse looked at the two of them, and then looked at the back door of the classroom where people kept coming in.

The movie starts in 10 minutes, and based on the current frequency of visitors, the place will be full in two to three minutes at most.

"There are so many people." Haixing said.

She sat next to Hikaru Takigawa, and on the other side was a serious third-year senior. Before the movie started, she was looking at everything in the classroom with a scrutinizing gaze. Haixing didn't even talk to her, he even sat next to her. They all felt like they were sitting on pins and needles, so they could only lean towards Takigawa Hikari as much as possible.

The seats are almost full, why hasn’t the movie started yet...

Haixing thought to himself, looking at the two people on the podium again.

She sat in that position during last year's cultural festival. She knew very clearly that the start and end of the movie were controlled by the person on the stage. She also knew that playing the movie was actually just turning on the projector and opening a file on the computer. That’s all.

"Sorry, there's someone here."

Haixing came back to his senses, turned his head and saw that Naruse was turning to look at a first-year girl next to him who was about to sit down, with his hands on the seat.

"Ah, sorry!"

The first-year girl apologized quickly and looked at other areas. She found that there were still a few empty seats inside and hurried over.

Morimi, who was on the podium, saw the commotion here and stopped talking. He chatted casually for a few words and then came down.

"The seat next to you is really popular."

"So sit down quickly and stop running around."

She smiled, moved her chair, and leaned towards him again.

"What did you talk about with your friends?"

"When we came to watch a movie, of course we talked about movies," Morimi said. "She said that she had already written the script for this movie last year. After being invited this year, she simply polished the script and released it. "

"Because I watched the movie you wrote last year?" Naruse asked.

"more or less."

The two were chatting when a shout suddenly came from outside the back door of the classroom:
"The audience for this show is full, please come back for the next show——"

Looking outside, a boy held up a sign to stop more spectators who were planning to come in.

Morimi looked inside the classroom again, and it was indeed packed.

"If nothing else, this is the time when there are the most people here." She said to Naruse, "For the next show, if you can sit down halfway, it will be considered a lot."

"Is there such a big difference between a premiere and a non-premiere?"

"After all, that's what the movie itself is."

Naruse glanced at the girl on the podium and said, "You're commenting like this before I've even seen it. Your friend is looking at you."

Morimi also looked at the stage, smiled, and continued talking.

"Even if it was the movie I wrote myself last year, I would say this. I'm talking about the homemade movie itself. After all, it was just a group of students entertaining themselves in less than a month."

"That being said, the audience is just a group of students."

She smiled and said, "After visiting the cultural festival activities of other clubs and classes, maybe more people will be able to bear down and watch such a self-made movie that lasts more than an hour."

Naruse nodded.

If it wasn't for watching the premiere with her, even if he wanted to watch the movie, he would definitely have visited other places first.

Morimi turned his head and was about to say something when he suddenly noticed the cold senior next to Haixing.

She came closer and whispered: "The old woman sitting next to Haixing is the former director of the news agency... Idiot, don't make it so obvious... Just wait, around noon, a spicy article will be published The film review will appear in the special school newspaper for the cultural festival."

Naruse secretly glanced at the former head of the news agency again, and suddenly reacted.

"What did she say about your movie last year?"

"Hmph." Morimi just sneered.

It turned out to be a grudge...

Naruse shook his head inwardly, and then asked: "Writing a film review for the school newspaper shouldn't be this person's privilege, right? Anyone can contribute?"

Morimi looked at him and said, "Yes. During the cultural festival, the special school newspaper is published every few hours, and the demand for manuscripts is actually huge."

"Then I'll also write a movie review to praise your friend's movie." Naruse said.

She looked at him for a moment longer. "Are you very free?"

"I do have some free time until tomorrow comes."

"Then give me a squeeze on your legs."

"...I mean mentally very relaxed."

After a few more minutes, the boy who was blocking more viewers from entering outside closed the door and walked into the classroom. Then he announced that the movie was about to start, and then turned off the lights in the classroom.

The surroundings suddenly darkened, and the windows on both sides were blocked, leaving no light at all.

Soon, the projector was turned on, and a flash of light appeared in front of him.

Through the projection screen, the projectionist's operations were displayed in front of everyone, and Naruse also saw the name of the movie file.

"'Love Like Fireworks'... doesn't sound like a movie with a happy ending."

There was a rustle next to him, and then his arm was hugged, and his ears felt warm, and he heard his girlfriend's soft whisper.

"I just took a look at the script, do you want to spoil it for you?"

"No need." Naruse held her hand and looked above, the movie had started to play.

[This is a story that happened that summer, as gorgeous as fireworks but short-lived. 】

This sentence appeared on the screen, then gradually faded away, and then, the first spoken line of the movie rang out.

"It's so hot... I mean, do you really want to go out at this time?"

"It's coming soon."

"It's so hot, so hot...I'm going to die."

It was the voice of two boys, accompanied by some deliberate footsteps.

The picture brightened, and the person who appeared on the screen was not a boy, but a girl sitting at a desk with her back to the camera.

"Can't we wait until the sun goes down?"

"I have to attend a festival tonight, I don't have time..."

The conversation continued, but the sound became a little quieter. The camera looking down from the window showed that it was a conversation between two boys passing by downstairs.

The camera turned and finally showed the heroine's face.

"It's her." Naruse heard Morimi mutter.

"People you know?"

"Well, I am a classmate of Class E in the first grade." She explained, "I wanted to be the heroine in the movie last year, but I wasn't chosen, and I had some conflicts with the team that made the movie. I finished writing the script. I didn’t care anymore, so when she found me, I said there was nothing I could do... Later I heard that she said some bad things about me behind my back, so I didn’t bother to argue with her.”

Naruse nodded, not interested in asking more questions, and continued to watch the light and shadow on the screen.

"Riko, come down and eat watermelon——"

"it is good……"

The story continues, and it is roughly about the brief but gorgeous love that a female high school student named Riko encountered on the day of a local summer festival.

"This place looks familiar..."

"It should have been taken nearby, no matter how far away it is, it can't be farther than Tsumae." Morimi said.

"It's Tokiwa's side." Takigawa Hikaru on the other side also heard Naruse's muttering.

"Really? I haven't been there very often."

He groped in the dimness and quickly found her hand, holding it in his.

"..."

Takigawa Hikari didn't say anything and let him hold her hand. She was sitting in the last row. The light below was also very dim. She couldn't see anything even when she lowered her head.

The movie continued to play, and the time came to night, and a lively summer festival appeared on the screen.

The overall picture became much darker, and the classroom also changed accordingly.

"This doesn't seem to be Tokiwa's side anymore." Naruse whispered.

"Yeah." Hikaru Takigawa naturally leaned over, pressed his shoulder, and lowered his voice, "I can't tell where it is."

Naruse turned to look at her. His face was blurry in the darkness, but her eyes were illuminated.

He leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.

boom--

Fireworks bloomed, and the scene suddenly became bright.

"..."

It illuminates the classroom and also illuminates the face of the starfish looking over.
