Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 573 Celebration Party

After the closing ceremony, except for the members of major clubs, other students followed the team back to class first.

"See you later." Naoko also separated from her companions and returned to the club room to preside over the finishing work of the cultural festival.

The remaining four people went upstairs together and returned to their classes.

In Class A, those who came back first have also started to clean up the classroom.

"First tear off all the hanging things on the wall, clean them, and then sweep the floor." The executive committee member greeted the helping students. Naruse looked at the side and went to help.

Morimi stared at their desks so as not to confuse them with other people's desks when rearranging them.

"It doesn't make any difference." Naruse stood on the chair and tore off the colored flowers on the window.

"Yes, I've been using it for half a year, and my scent is still on the table."

He looked back at her, not bothering to say anything more, and continued to use his nails to fasten the tightly attached transparent tape.

The closing ceremony started at 03:30 and ended in a few minutes. By the time the second-year Class A was completely cleaned up, it was almost 04:30.

Morimi directed Naruse to move the desk, which was worth [-] yen a time, back to its original position.

"It's more comfortable to sit at your own desk."

"Why didn't you bring up the first grade desks?"

After tidying up here, they still had to wait for Shangzi to finish their work, so the two sat down in the classroom.

"I saw your article in the newspaper."

"yes."

"Is it that senior's mission again?"

"more or less."

After a while, Takigawa Hikaru and Haixing also came over.The group of people sat there until almost five o'clock when they received news from Shangzi.

"Let's go. The izakaya booked by the Handicraft Club is not far from the school. Naoko wants to walk there with them. Let's ride there first and have a look."

After riding downstairs and leaving the school, Naruse saw a large group of people from the handicraft club on the road before arriving at Hamono Cafe.

He went over to say hello to Shangzi and then looked at the roadside. People from the student union were still clearing various posters posted on both sides of the road.

"We went first."

"Well, let's go."

When we arrived at the izakaya, because there were a lot of people, the handicraft club had reserved a seat in the lobby, while the restoration department had a separate table.

"Then let's sit here, in the corner, so we don't have to be surrounded by people from the craft club." Morimi said after sitting down.

"Uh-huh."

Haixing nodded and asked again: "After the people from the handicraft club come over, can we order together?"

Naruse looked at her, "Are you hungry?"

"I'm afraid there are too many people and the store will be too busy later..."

"It's okay, wait a little longer."

After a few people sat down, Takigawa Hikaru sat for a while and then got up to go to the bathroom.

Naruse followed her with his eyes until he lost sight of her, then looked back, and then found Morimi staring at him.

"What's wrong."

She sat over, leaned closer and asked, "Why do you care so much about the light today?"

He glanced at the starfish opposite him and whispered in the same low voice: "I have always cared about you."

"Humph."

She stared at him for a while longer, and just when Naruse thought she had noticed something, she suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom. Do you want to come with Haixing?"

"Ah, no..."

If Haixing wanted to go, he would have been with Takigawa Hikaru just now.

Mori Jian also passed by himself.

Haixing looked left and right, looking at the izakaya that was around five o'clock in the afternoon and not too crowded. It was close to Tsugao and also close to Tsuda University. Most of the people who had come and sat there were college students.

She turned her eyes around and looked at Naruse again.

He also looked at her and said, "If you're hungry, just order a snack first."

"Eh...I'm not hungry."

Haixing shook his head and looked at the empty table next to him, "There are three tables, can the people from the handicraft club fill them up?"

"Okay." Naruse said.He recalled the celebration party of last year's cultural festival. At that time, the handicraft club was almost divided, and there were still two tables of people sitting. Today, there is no problem of sitting at three tables.

"Really, there are so many people...Actually, this is my first time to attend the celebration party." Haixing said again, his eyes were rolling, his eyes were bright, and his face was full of anticipation for the excitement in the near future.

Only then did Naruse understand why she had been looking so excited from just now until now.

"Didn't Haixing attend the celebration party last year?" He remembered that she still made some efforts at the cultural festival last year.

"No, only the people who filmed the movie attended. Those of us who worked as odd jobs during the movie were not called."

"It's too much."

"right!"

Haixing responded to him positively, thought for a moment and then said, "It seems that Kazuye was also invited, but she didn't go."

"yes."

Naruse responded, then turned to look in the direction Morimi left.

She and Takigawa Hikari have been gone for a long time, and they still haven't come back.

"Does it still hurt?" "..."

Takigawa Mitsuki was washing his hands, suddenly stopped, and turned to look at Morimi who was waiting next to him.

"I don't think it's very convenient just to walk."

Looking at each other, the expression on their faces was a silent answer.

"Fortunately."

"Really? The first time I did it with him, it hurt so much that I almost died." Morimi said, "Although he was almost done with it himself."

"..."

Takigawa Hikaru didn't say anything. He rubbed the back of his palms under the water, clasped his hands together, scrubbed his fingers, and then turned off the faucet.

"Club room?" Morimi spoke again.

"……Um."

"It's really too much. It's my first time to get a room in a hotel outside."

Takigawa Hikaru pursed her lower lip, took another deep breath, and suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart.

"That's what I'm going to do over there."

Morimi stopped talking and looked at her in silence for a while.

It feels so bad to share... she thought again, especially if it's already in her hands.

"Has Hikaru finally made up his mind?"

Looking at his wet hands, Takigawa Hikaru shook them, raised his eyes again, and met her eyes.

"Well, there's no turning back."

Morimi took a long breath, and when he spoke again, it was already another topic.

"Have you wiped it clean underneath? Is there any blood on your clothes?"

"...Well, there happened to be a pack of wet wipes in the clubroom, and they were all wiped clean."

"I bought it to clean up after having an affair with him."

"I'll give you a new pack next time."

"..."

"..."

The two looked at each other again, with complicated smiles on each other's faces.

"I never thought that one day I would be able to communicate with light."

"You really haven't thought about it?"

"Okay... I never thought about such a detailed part." Morimi shook his head and said no more, "Let's go back."

"Ah."

Morimi and Hikaru Takigawa returned to their seats and sat on either side of Naruse.

Haixing was stunned for a moment, "Why are you sitting over there..."

"If people from the handicraft club can't sit down later, they will probably sit here with us. I don't want to eat at the same table with strangers." Morimi said, then looked at the empty seat next to her, "People Yiduo will definitely sit next to Haixing."

"Eh!"

Starfish also stood up and wanted to sit next to them.

"Don't listen to her nonsense." Naruse was a little helpless, but she still came over and sat next to Morimi.

After checking the time, he stood up and left his seat, "Why haven't you come over yet... I'll go out and take a look."

As soon as he walked out of the izakaya, he saw a large group of people from the handicraft club walking by the roadside.

"Are you anxious about the wait, Harumi?" Shangzi came forward.

"No, it's just that some greedy guys are a little anxious."

She smiled and pulled him into the izakaya.

"Minister, where should we sit?"

"Seats over there."

A large group of members of the craft club sat on both sides of the three tables one after another, making the izakaya lively in advance before nightfall.

"Everything is different."

After Naruse came back, he sat across from Morimi and the other three, with a little distance between them, and next to him was Naoko on the other table.

"Okay." She did not sit among the members, but sat in a corner closer to him.

After ordering drinks and food, there are only four people on Naruse's side. It's simple and convenient. Just adjust it down according to the usual amount. The handicraft club is much busier.

After finally placing the order, we waited for a while before all the drinks for so many people were served.

"Minister, say something," someone said.

Shangzi also stood up and looked at his members.

"The cultural festival has ended successfully. Let's enjoy it today."

She didn't say much, raised her juice and said, "Cheers."

"cheers--"

The atmosphere in the handicraft club became more and more lively. The four people on the table next to them looked at each other and raised their glasses.

"Cheers."
