Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 472 Come and pick me up

Before this year's Bon Festival holiday began, Hikari Takigawa finally made it back.

At that time, Naruse had been back from Chubu for three or four days. At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the hottest time of the day, he suddenly received a message from her, asking him to ride to pick her up.

Light: I can’t take anything with me anymore.

Naruse: Why are there so many things?

Light: Gifts and the like.

Light: Come on, I'll wait for you here.

light: [location]
Naruse clicked and took a look. She had already returned to Tsuzen City. She didn't know why he still wanted to pick her up.

Sighing, he went upstairs and changed into lighter-colored clothes, then went to the garage to push the cart out.

And seeing the garage open, Shangzi's message was quickly sent over.

Naoko: Harumi is going out?

Naruse didn't reply. He stopped the car and went straight to her house. He first said hello to the Uchika couple who came back yesterday, and then explained to Naoko why he went out.

"The light is back..."

"Well, I probably brought too many things and couldn't carry them anymore. Let me pick them up."

Shangzi nodded without saying anything more, "Be careful on the road."

"Ah."

She stood at the door, watching him return to the yard of his house, get on his motorcycle, then get off the car with a bounce, and touch the seat cushion that had been exposed to the sun for a while.

"..."

Shangzi wanted to laugh, but felt helpless, so he waved to him.

After watching him grinning and riding away on his motorcycle, she closed the door and returned to the house.

"Harumi is going out?"

"Yes."

Hanasawako glanced out the window and said, "It's really not too hot at this time."

Naoko pursed her lips and smiled, "Hikaru is back from Hokkaido, Harumi went to pick her up."

"That kid can run better." She shook her head and sat back on the sofa.

Shangzi also sat over and glanced out the window where the sun was burning, then quickly looked back.

On the other side, with the scorching sun above his head, Naruse quickly crossed the Aoyagi Bridge and continued towards the city.

Ten minutes later, he saw his motorcycle in front of a convenience store on the roadside.

Hikaru Takigawa was hiding inside, blowing on the air conditioner, and waved to him.

Parking the motorcycle in the shadow, Naruse got off the motorcycle and walked into the convenience store.

Handing him a bottle of juice, she smiled at him and said, "I'm back."

"Welcome." Naruse took the juice, opened it and took a sip, "You are coming back today, why didn't you tell me in advance."

"I want to give everyone a surprise."

“I also want to be one of the people waiting for a surprise at home.”

"Hahaha, it's also a surprise to see me in advance."

Naruse shook his head, too lazy to pay attention to her.

While drinking a cold drink and blowing on the air conditioner for a while, he also looked at Hikaru Takigawa a few more times.

After riding for two to three thousand kilometers, she seemed to have lost a little weight.Perhaps because he had been wearing a helmet, his face was still fair and not tanned much.

"Has there been any change?" Sensing his gaze, Takigawa Hikaru also turned around and let him look at her generously.

"A little thinner." Naruse looked into her eyes, then quickly looked away, "Looks a little more mature."

"Really?"

"Just a little bit."

"It's not bad at all." Takigawa Hikaru smiled, raised his arms and stretched, "I'm so tired."

"Go back early and have a good rest."

Naruse finished the drink in two gulps, "Where are your things."

Takigawa Hikaru pointed to the car outside.

"I'm talking about the parts that can't be taken away."

"Well……"

She touched her hair, touched her face, and talked about him.

Naruse frowned, "You can't be embarrassed to go home alone."

"Haha, no."

"Then why did you ask me to come here?"

Takigawa Hikaru looked at him and his eyes stayed on his face for a few seconds.

"It's nothing. I just feel that Chunhai should be fine if he stays at home. I wanted to ask you to pick me up."

"バカ." (ba ka)

"I'm sorry." She smiled slightly, "But the sea of ​​spring is really empty, otherwise I wouldn't have come so quickly."

Naruse glared at her, but he didn't have much energy.

"Absolutely. Shangzi's parents came back yesterday. She went back to her home. I was alone in the living room watching TV and almost fell asleep."

The incident before departure must have been fooled into the past, right?
Takigawa Hikaru looked at him, thinking this in his heart, and then said: "Did Naoko's parents finally take a vacation?"

"Yeah, it's just the Bon Festival."

"I'm so busy. Where is Harumi's mother?"

"I said I would come back tomorrow morning or afternoon. I still have some things to deal with today."

"We are all very busy..."

Naruse didn't say anything. He looked at the cars passing by on the road outside and said, "You took the ferry from Hakodate to Aomori Port. How did you end up on this road?"

She smiled and said, "I originally wanted to go somewhere else, but then I thought it would be better to go home first after being away for so many days." Naruse turned her head and said, "Where are you going?"

"Thirteen Lakes."

"..."

Hikaru Takigawa looked outside, "I want to feel again what my current mood will be like if I come to the end of the Iwaki River again."

Naruse pursed his lower lip, "I think it's nothing more than that."

She smiled and said, "I think so too. However, I still want to feel it truly."

"Let's go home first."

"I didn't say I wanted Harumi to accompany me."

"I didn't say it either."

"Ah."

"Ah."

"..."

"..."

"Really not going?"

"Don't go."

"Let's go there again."

"Don't go."

"Ok."

The two left the convenience store and exchanged motorcycles before getting in the car.

"Long time no see you." Hikaru Takigawa patted his super cub.

"It's better to ride your own car," Naruse said.

"Well... almost, haha."

He held the handlebar and said, "I ordered a new Super Cub this year. I will be able to pick up the car in about half a month."

Takigawa Hikaru was startled and opened his eyes wide: "This year's new model?"

"Ah."

"what colour?"

"Red."

"Ah ah ah, after you pick up the bike, ride with me instead!"

"You think beautiful."

Naruse kicked up his legs and said, "Go back."

As soon as he turned the accelerator, Takigawa Hikaru quickly followed and rode towards Aoliu.

Ten minutes later, after crossing the Qingliu Bridge, she blew her whistle, Naruse slowed down, and she rode in front, gesturing for him to follow.

Back at Takigawa's house, she stopped the car and asked him to go in with her.

"I am back!"

"excuse me……"

Naruse sat on the sofa, looking at her hugging and greeting her family, while flipping through the gifts she brought back.

There were not many, but it was obvious that she had carefully selected them.

After chatting with his family for a while, Hikaru Takigawa quickly came to the sofa and distributed the gifts.

"I saw the gift that Harunami and Shangzi brought me, but I didn't buy that many."

"As long as you have it, it doesn't matter how much."

She smiled and picked out the gift for him and Shangzi. Just as she was about to give it to him, she shrank her hand and took it back.

"I'll go with Harumi and give Kazuyo and Haisei's share to them."

"Ah."

So just ten minutes after arriving home, she went out with him again.

Carrying a bunch of things, she got into his car.

"Slow down, I don't have any hands to hold Harumi."

"That's alright, just walk over."

"No." Hikari Takigawa moved forward and stayed close to him.

"You can't sit still like this." Naruse looked back, took half of the things in his backhand, and hung them on the rearview mirror.

Takigawa Hikari hugged him with one hand, "That'll be fine."

Naruse controlled the speed of the car and rode home slowly.

"Shangzi's parents are at home now, right?"

"Ah."

Takigawa Hikari passed by with Naoko's gift.

After he parked the car and closed the garage door, she quickly came out of Hua's house.

"Let's go to Kazuyo and Haixing."

Naruse handed the things over, "Why don't you just go by yourself?"

"Let's go."

She put her hands behind her back and refused to take it, "I can't take it."

After standing by the window and taking a few glances, Shangzi turned around. His parents were looking through the gifts they had just given.

"Shangzi, come and take a look too."

"coming."
