Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 279 Yellow Submarine
On Saturday morning, Naruse woke up a little later than usual.

Staring at the ceiling for a while, he turned off the alarm clock as soon as it rang, then got up and got out of bed.

He didn't need to wear a uniform today, so he picked a little in the closet, put on the spring dress that Shangzi bought, and went downstairs to wash.

"Good morning."

Shangzi also got up.

"Good morning."

After washing up, the two of them prepared breakfast together.

"Does Shangzi have any plans during the day?"

"Just stay at home."

"I'll be back sooner."

"Uh-huh."

Not long after breakfast, Takikawa Hikari came to the door on his bicycle.

"Good morning. Is Chunhai ready to go?"

"Let's go."

Saying goodbye to Naoko, Naruse sat down behind Hikari Takikawa, ready to go to Ishiwata's training center.

"The weather is still relatively good during this period, just for practicing driving. It will be more troublesome in the rainy season."

"It's only April, so it shouldn't be delayed until then."

At the intersection, Hikari Takikawa turned the car and drove in an unexpected direction for Naruse.

"Is this the way to Shidu?"

"Could go around—a little bit more walking."

After riding forward for a while, she stopped at the entrance of Morimi Komoto's shop and blew the flute.

Morimi quickly came out of the bookstore.

"You guys are still pretty early."

"It's almost nine o'clock, so it's not too early."

Naruse said, and looked at Takikawa Hikari in front of him again, not understanding her purpose of stopping here.

Morimi handed her a note.

"Everything I want is written on it."

"OK~"

"What's this?" Naruse asked.

"I asked Guang to help me buy things. I have to learn how to ride a bicycle from Haixing today, so I don't have time to go out."

He glanced at the note, "Just send a message directly."

"I'm the type to see as much as I can with my friends." She looked at him and said.

"Me too~" Takikawa Hikaru said happily.

"..."

Naruse pursed his lower lip and looked towards the Shinki Hotel ahead, "Where is Starfish, haven't you woke up yet?"

"Probably, the time she agreed with me last night was 09:30 in the morning."

Naruse glanced at her slender legs wrapped in trousers, "If possible, you can wear knee pads or something."

"How can there be such a condition? I don't have a brother who plays baseball, and the only boy in the neighborhood doesn't play baseball."

"...There are still a lot of boys around."

"Unfamiliar."

"Then you should be more careful."

Hikaru Takikawa looked at the note, and chatted with her about the things he wanted to buy.

"That's how it is. I'll send Chunhai there and go through some formalities with him. I should be back before noon."

Sen Jian nodded, "I'm not in a hurry, be careful on the road."

The two said goodbye to her, Takikawa Hikari twisted the accelerator and left quickly.

Passing by outside the Shinki Hotel, Naruse saw Haixing talking to his father with his back to the door.

"It turned out to be already awake."

"Huh? What did Haruhi say?"

"It's nothing."

Going forward along the county road, at the intersection by the river, Hikari Takikawa turned around and started riding along the river course of Beimuchuan.

She suddenly smiled.

"I have already foreseen what it will look like to go out on a motorcycle with Chun Hai in the future."

Naruse also smiled.

"Going somewhere on a motorcycle by yourself is completely different from going there by car or train."

"Yes, that's it."

"The important thing is not the destination, but the scenery along the way."

"Ah, Chun Hai's words are so philosophical!"

"That's not what I said..."

Riding along Kitagigawa all the way to Akane Bridge, Takikawa Hikari turned a corner and passed over the bridge.

"Does Guang still have contact with Sister Yue now?"

"What are you talking about..."

"I mean, do you usually contact a lot?"

"I will chat a few words every day."

After riding for a while, Takikawa Hikari tilted his head slightly: "Why does Harumi ask this?"

Naruse pondered for a few seconds.

"I'm wondering... whether Guang's dependence on Sister Yue has been transferred to us."

"Hey, what a strange question..."

"Didn't it just let Morimi find a way to keep us together?"

"Did Yiye tell Chunhai?"

"Ah."

She stopped at the intersection and said, "I think it's more interesting to stay with everyone."

Naruse nodded and said nothing.

She turned around, "Does it make Chunhai feel uncomfortable?"

"No, it's fine as it is now."

Hikaru Takikawa laughed, "That's good."

It's just that now.

Naruse looked at the countdown red light ahead, and Takikawa Hikaru suddenly turned around again.

"There will be no cars for a long stretch of the road, so Chunhai wants to try riding a bike by himself."

"sure."

"Then let's switch places."

"Ah."

Hikaru Takikawa got out of the car, he moved forward, held the handlebar, and she quickly sat up again.

"Green light—"

Naruse twisted the accelerator and crossed the intersection.

Riding on the county road with almost no traffic, the spring breeze was blowing, and both of them quickly relaxed.

"Spring Sea."

"Ok?"

"Hurry up."

"I am afraid."

"Hahaha--"

Hikaru Takikawa opened his arms to welcome the wind.

“We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine~”

(The Beatles · "Yellow submarine")
Naruse also hummed a few words.

"Long seems to like this song very much."

"Yes, but that's all I can sing."

"Me too."

“Yellow submarine~”

The roads in the fields are all straight. Compared with last week, the greenery on both sides is more intense, and the spring color is stronger.

After riding for a while and turning a few turns, the number of houses on the side of the road gradually increased.

Finally turned a corner and continued to ride forward for tens of meters. Suddenly, a large open space appeared on the side of the road, and many vehicles were parked on the open space.

"It's here."

"Ah."

Hikaru Takikawa moved forward, leaned on his back, and pointed forward again.

"Go ahead, here is the training ground, and the registration place is still ahead."

"...Speaking of which, I have already arrived at the entrance of the training center. Do you still want me to ride? Will I not be arrested?"

"Oh yes... Hurry up and change it back."

Naruse stopped the car, and the two exchanged positions again before riding over.

After parking the car, Hikari Takikawa led him in with ease, and came to a window.

"Hello, my friend wants to test his driver's license."

Naruse stepped forward, and the staff inside first asked him if he was Japanese.

"Yes."

"Are there a lot of foreign students coming to take the driver's license test recently?" Takikawa asked.

"Yes, just now there was an international student who was brought over by a friend."

While answering, the staff took out a bunch of documents and asked Naruse to fill them in.

"Are there many people signing up now?" Takikawa Hikari asked again.

"Not many, sign up now, and you will be able to schedule courses as soon as tomorrow."

"That's great, you should be able to get your driver's license within a month."

The staff looked at Naruse, "Do you have a motorcycle driver's license?"

"Yes."

"It's not a big problem."

After Naruse signed his name on a pile of documents, the staff explained to him some precautions in class.

After going through the process like this, it finally came to the payment link.

"You can choose to pay by cash or credit card."

Looking at the fee of more than [-] yen, Naruse said, "Credit card."

"Ok."

After paying the money, there is no need for Takikawa Hikaru to take him with him in the next steps - after paying the money, Naruse is already a student of the training center.

A staff member took him to have his vision checked.

"plz follow me."

After checking his eyesight and confirming that there is no problem, Naruse was taken to take a photo for his ID.

Click!

Take the photo you just took and paste it on the file you just created for him, the registration process is all over, and the next step is to wait for the time for the teaching institute to arrange for him to come to class.

"Let's go to the classroom where the class is held."

Hikaru Takikawa took him upstairs to the classroom where he had attended the class before.

"It's here. If everything goes well, Chunhai will be able to come to class tomorrow."

Naruse probed to look, there were some people sitting sparsely in the classroom, there were people of all ages, it was not time for class, and the students were all touching their mobile phones.

After watching for a while, Takikawa Hikaru pulled him downstairs.

"Let's go to the training ground too."

"it is good."
