Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 436
After signing up and making an appointment for class time half a month later, Morimi followed Naruse out of the training center and back to the parking lot.

"Are you really going to play outside for half a month before coming back?" she asked suddenly.

Naruse got on the bike and handed her the helmet, "I'm not in a hurry, so of course I want to be comfortable and arrange my schedule."

"Don't Naoko want to come back in a hurry to prepare for the cultural festival?"

"It's not that urgent."

"Ok."

She put on her helmet and waited for him to turn around and get back into the car.

"If Hikari comes back from Hokkaido first, let her bring you over for class." Naruse said before returning.

"Do you think I would give up the opportunity to be alone with you?" She lay forward, making no attempt to conceal her plans.

He was silent for a few seconds, "It makes no sense."

"Is it really pointless?"

She moved her hand around his waist a little lower, hinting more bluntly, "You just reacted to my body... didn't you?"

Naruse grabbed her hand and turned to look at her.

"I don't think you want to walk back."

She smiled and said, "You shouldn't be willing to drive me out of the car."

Even so, she calmed down and let him hold her hand without making any more movements.

After staring at her for a while, Naruse let go of his hand and turned his head.

"You're like a female ghost crawling out of hell."

She is cold and beautiful, but impersonal. She pursues desires and ignores the most basic morality... She also wants to drag him into hell.

"Female ghost?" She smiled, "Does it make you like it, but also scare you?"

"..."

He was choked on what he originally wanted to say and simply shut up.

Seeing that he was silent and ready to go back, she said, "Before you go back, take me to the city by the way. I need to buy something."

He didn't answer, but after leaving the training center, he didn't return along the original road, but rode towards the city from another closer road.

After riding for a while, Naruse stopped at a red light intersection.

"Where are you going?"

"The mall over from Tsumae Station."

"buy what?"

"Do you want to ask about this too... seasonal underwear?"

The red light turned green, he turned the accelerator and continued forward through the intersection.

A few minutes later, Naruse stopped in the mall parking lot.

Morimi got out of the car, stood aside and looked at him and said:
"If you accompany me up there, you can pick it up in about ten minutes. I come to a place like this alone, and it's easy for me to get lost while wandering around."

Naruse didn't get out of the car, "If you have any other plans, tell me."

She suddenly smiled.

And whatever he asked, she would answer: "After shopping in the mall, have a meal together, and then go back."

"No."

"why?"

"I'm not here to go on a date with you."

"It's getting late... By the way, what did you tell Shangzi?"

"Tell the truth. I'll take you to the training center and then go home."

Morimi sighed, "Okay, then I won't eat."

She turned around and walked towards the entrance of the mall. After taking a few steps, she turned back: "What are you waiting for? Don't you have to go back early?"

Naruse stared at her for more than half a minute before parking the car and getting out.

She waited in front, waiting for him to catch up, and then they walked into the mall together.

"There's not a lot of people there during the day."

"Today is a working day."

Mori looked around, then suddenly grabbed his arm, and then continued to look at the passing shop as if nothing had happened.

Naruse struggled a little and easily broke free from her hand.

After taking a few more steps, she grabbed it again.

"..."

This was repeated several times, but before he could speak, she complained first.

"Why are you as awkward as a kid who doesn't want to go to the mall with his mother?"

"Are you my mother?"

"So what are you doing?"

Naruse could only admit that she was far better than him at changing concepts and making excuses without making any sense.

After another "awkward" moment, she suddenly took his hand and pulled him towards a lingerie store.

"Here we go, over here."

"...Do you really want to buy underwear?"

"What are you doing lying to you?"

"Then I won't go in." Naruse broke free from her hand and pointed at the long leather bench in the corridor for people to rest. "I'll wait for you here."

"Sitting outside a lingerie store and peeping will make you look like a pervert."

"My pleasure."

Morimi glanced at him, but finally went in without saying anything.

Sitting on the leather stool, Naruse took out his phone and looked at it. After spending the whole morning with her, it was already getting late.

I should be able to go back within half an hour...

He was dazed for a moment, then clicked on the itinerary he had planned yesterday on his phone, looking for the missing places.

The plan is not that detailed, but there is plenty of time and considerable flexibility in arrangements. The most important thing is the arrangements on the day of travel.The flight tickets were booked yesterday, and the hotel room where we were going to stay on the first night was also booked.

It will be a little troublesome to get to the airport tomorrow morning...

Kazuha: Is black a little too mature?

"..."

She sent a selfie in the dressing room.

She had already taken off her halter top, but she put on the cardigan outside, with only a black bra underneath, which was full of support.

Naruse looked at it twice, deleted the message, and did not reply.

There was no more news from her side.

After a while, she came out of the underwear store carrying a bag.

"I still bought a black one."

He didn't speak.

She handed it over, "Want to see it."

"no need."

Naruse stood up and said, "Go back."

"It's already this time, let's have a meal before going back... Okay, I'm just kidding." Seeing his expressionless face, she quickly changed her tune.

The two went downstairs and left the mall, and she didn't try to hold him anymore.

After riding on the bike, it took more than ten minutes to return to Aoyagi. Before setting off, she said she wanted to go home first, so Naruse took the road to Apple Park.

When she arrived at Morimi's house, she went upstairs alone, and after a while she changed back into her original clothes and came down.

"You really don't mind the trouble."

"That's for a date. Now the date is over."

Naruse said nothing and just asked her to get in the car.

"What time will you leave tomorrow?" she asked again.

"It's past seven o'clock. Don't use any crooked ideas."

"Don't worry, I can't get up."

Morimi stood aside and looked at him, "I mean to say goodbye now. When we get to the bookstore, I can't let go."

"...Is there anything I can't let go of?" Naruse became alert as soon as he finished speaking, "It's just a goodbye."

"It's normal for people who like each other to kiss each other when saying goodbye."

When she said these words, he felt relieved in his heart.

She won't do this anymore.

Just like in the mall just now, she first deliberately proposed a condition that he would not agree to, and then showed weakness and took a step back, allowing him to compromise on accompanying her to buy underwear with almost no trace.

"I'm going back." He started the motorcycle and the engine started to roar.

"...I really can't take the joke."

Morimi walked to the motorcycle and stood in front of it. He immediately released the accelerator and turned off the engine.

"Just a hug is fine."

"Haven't you had enough hugs all the way here?"

"I think face to face is what counts as a hug."

When Naruse stopped the car, she stood in front of him, naturally got into his arms, and hugged him tightly.

He could feel her exerting force all over her body.

My arms are straining, my hands are straining, and even my breathing is straining.

It seemed like this was the last hug between each other.

He also slowly raised his hand and hugged her.

"..."

Her body obviously tensed up for a moment, then slowly relaxed, and her forehead rested on his chest.

"You always compromise so easily, how can I give up?"

"..."

He let go of his hand and she immediately hugged him tighter.

"I'm not finished yet."

He doesn't move.

"I understand your heart. I know what you like and what you resist..."

After a pause, Morimi opened his eyes, looked at his faintly beating chest, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes again.

"I have also understood for a long time that you will not give up Shangzi."

Naruse lowered his head and glanced at the girl in his arms.

Now that she understands, what is she still insisting on?

"If I said... you don't need to give up Shangzi to get me, would you still resist?"

His heart skipped a beat.

"what are you saying……"

"You really don't understand?"

She hugged him tightly, running her hands over his strong back.

"Just like before, even if there is no name for dating, it is actually not much different from dating... I still want to be your girlfriend, even if the title 'girlfriend' will always belong to Naoko only."

"..."

Pushing her away, Naruse turned around and got on the motorcycle. He turned the accelerator for a long time before he realized that he didn't have the ignition on.

"You're probably crazy."

He's going crazy too.
