Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 497 Truth and Hypothesis
After dinner, at Morimi's request, she stayed alone in the kitchen to clean up the dishes.

The phone keeps vibrating with messages from the group.

She glanced at it at first and knew it was not him or her parents who were looking for her, so she ignored him.

woohoo-

After rinsing the plate in her hands, she picked up another plate and looked up out the window.

The sky had already darkened when she woke up, and the street lights were on below, but there were no people or cars in sight. The road was as quiet as the nearby Yoyogi Park.

A different kind of tranquility that is completely different from the night in the countryside.

After being dazed for a while, she looked back and fell on her reflection on the glass surface.

The lamp behind her head cast a shadow on her face.

She tilted her head slightly, her face brightening, showing a bit of fatigue.

tired……

They visited several places today and spent most of the time walking.Although she was indeed satisfied with her shopping, she was also tired at the same time, otherwise she wouldn't have fallen asleep after lying on the sofa for a while.

Looking back at the kitchen door, Haixing and the other three were staying in the living room. They could faintly hear some chatter, and no one would be coming here for a while.

Morimi put down the plate, washed and dried his hands, and took out his phone.

Click!

After scrolling through the messages in the group, she saw that Naoko had said she was going to take a shower a few minutes ago and then there was no movement. She sent the photo she had just taken to Naruse.

Yiye: I'm washing your dishes.

Harumi: Why didn’t you see the bowl?

Harumi: Move your head to block it.

"..."

She smiled, turned to the sink, took another photo and sent it to him.

Harumi: Are you the only one washing dishes?

Kazuye: Why did I fail to contribute when preparing dinner?

Harumi: Is my mother back today?
Kazuha: No.

Kazuha: Miss Matsu has been a little busy these days.

Harumi: So there’s basically no need to expect her to accompany you wherever you go.

Yiye: I will tell Sister Yue.

Harumi: Where are you going tomorrow?
Kazuha: Go and see Kamakura.

Chunhai: What did Sister Yue plan?Why do you feel that your itinerary these days is similar to the last time we came here.

Kazuha: Haixing came up with a lot of ideas.

Harumi: No wonder.

Kazuha: Miss Matsu said she would try to get us some Disney tickets.

Harumi: Enjoy it.

Yiye: I miss you.

Chunhai:......

Harumi: I miss you too.

Kazuha: Can you find an excuse to come over? You can also bring Naoko with you.

Harumi: Then we might as well come over from the beginning.

Kazuha: Okay.

Kazuha: Let’s continue washing the dishes.

Yiye: Remember to delete this chat record.

Harumi: I know.

“I don’t know how many chat records with me have been deleted…”

Morimi muttered, put away his phone, and quickly cleaned the remaining plates.

Back in the living room, several people were sitting on the sofa watching TV.

"No one is going to take a shower?"

"I don't want to move when I'm full...and it's still early." Takigawa Yue patted the side and motioned for her to sit down.

Morimi sat over and looked at what was playing on the TV, feeling speechless.

"Now that we are living in Miss Song's house, do we still want to watch the TV programs that Miss Song participated in in the past?"

"Read it often. There will be a particularly interesting piece of content later, please read it carefully."

"..."

She shook her head, too lazy to say more to this fanatical fan, and turned to look at Haixing: "Miss Song and the others won't be back until after ten o'clock?"

"That's what I said before."

"Then let's take a shower before they come back." Morimi stood up again as soon as he sat down, "I'm going to take a shower first."

"it is good."

Watching her walk to the bathroom, Takigawa Hikaru stretched and said, "Whoever washes next, I'm a little tired too."

My sister looked over and said, "Who are you going to sleep with today?"

"Anything is fine." She patted the sofa beneath her, "It's fine to sleep here."

"There is no such thing as a comfortable bed to sleep on."

"Then I'll sleep in Miss Song's room today."

"Well……"

"You're kidding." Hikari Takigawa swung her feet, "I'll sleep in Miss Sato's room."

"Where's the starfish?"

"I also can."

Not long after, Morimi came out of the shower.

"It's so fast. Didn't Kazuyo take a bath?"

"After soaking for a while, I will fall asleep if I soak again."

Mori untied his tied hair, sat down next to Takigawa Hikaru, wrapped a towel and wiped it, "Haixing, go wash it."

"Oh."

Haixing got up and went back to the room to get some clothes, then walked to the bathroom.

After wiping his hair, Morimi had time to slowly scroll through the chats in the group.

"You guys are really good at talking."

"Haha, it's alright."

"Well...Shangzi has finished taking a bath." She sighed with regret after seeing the latest news.

Takigawa Hikaru tilted his head and did not look at her.

The three of them sat on the sofa, waiting for Haixing to come out, then Takigawa Yue went to wash, and finally Takigawa Hikaru.

When she came out, Morimi had already returned to the room.She walked over and sat in front of the computer, browsing something.

"Are you going to sleep here tonight?" Mori looked over.

Takigawa Hikaru was startled, turned his eyes, and nodded, "Okay."

"Isn't that what you planned just now?"

"No."

She looked at the computer again, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."

"That won't work."

She walked in and sat down on the bed behind Morimi.

"I probably have some questions to ask Kazuyo too."

"yes."

Morimi stared at the screen without looking back, "I may not tell you the truth."

Takigawa Hikaru reacted calmly, "Yeah."

She still looked back at her, and then quickly turned back.

"Does Guang know how to play games? This is a game he played before. He just told me his account number."

Hikaru Takigawa looked at the screen, "I only play some games on my mobile phone."

"Arcade machines don't count."

"It counts...but this kind of computer game is a bit complicated for me."

"It's complicated."

Morimi fiddled with the mouse and keyboard, "With so many icons, my eyes were dazzled at first. But you can also pretend they don't exist and just do some simple things."

Takigawa Hikari's eyes turned to her and then to the screen.

"By simple things, do you mean just wandering around?"

"I'm still researching."

She sat back and watched, and quickly moved over, "Let me try."

Morimi gave up his seat and stood aside to watch her play with it.

The two of them knew almost nothing and could still pass the time by playing randomly.

Before I knew it, the night was getting dark.

Matsu Qianqiu and his assistant returned to the apartment at the last minute at ten o'clock.

"Not even asleep yet." She came to the door of her son's room, leaned against the door and looked at the two people inside.

"Miss Song..."

"It's okay, just keep playing."

Smiling at the two of them, she turned around and chatted with Haixing and Yue Takikawa in the living room before going to take a shower.

"It's time for us to sleep too."

Takigawa Hikari leaned back and hit his head on a soft ball.She raised her head, and Morimi looked down at her.

"I'm going to Kamakura tomorrow..."

"Yeah." Morimi responded and looked outside again.

On the sofa, Takigawa Yue was discussing something with Haixing.

After saying good night, they closed the door and turned off the lights. They climbed into bed one after another and were silent for a while.

In the silence, movement from the living room came in. Today it seemed that Takigawa Yue was sleeping in the master bedroom, while Haixing slept with Miss Sato.

"Have you had fun these days, Kazuha?" Hikari Takigawa broke the silence.

"well enough."

"I feel like Ichiyo is not in a very high mood."

"Light should know the reason..." Morimi paused and suddenly understood, "So that's it, has it already started?"

Hikari Takigawa made a sound of unknown meaning.

"Then you ask, I will decide whether to tell the truth or not based on the situation."

She pondered for a while.

"On the night when I went to Hirakawa City to attend the festival, Harumi stayed at Kazuha's house."

"Ah."

"Why did Harumi stay overnight? What did Kazuha say to Harumi?"

Morimi did not answer directly, "What did he say?"

"..."

What is the difference between this and collusion?
Takigawa Hikaru was silent for a moment, but he took the initiative to become her accomplice in colluding with the confession and told her his story exactly.

"Did you accidentally break the sliding door of my house... That's true."

"What on earth did Ichiha say to Harumi?"

"I like him. If he doesn't accept it, I'll die."

"……and then?"

Morimi turned over, put his hand on her waist, and stroked her gently.

"Of course he was very angry. He pushed me to the ground... and beat me. It hurt so much."

Takigawa Hikaru held her hand, "Do you think I will believe it?"

She continued: "Then, he also felt guilty, so we jumped into the river. But suddenly he didn't want to die anymore, so he climbed up and slept at my house for the night."

Hikaru Takigawa took a deep breath and turned his back to her.

"Can't Hikaru accept this statement?"

"It's impossible for Harumi to do anything to Kazuha."

Sen Jian smiled.

"Yes, so I was the one who made the first move and slapped him three times. He was really angry before he hit back..."

"——That's it. I'm sleepy, good night."

Morimi raised an eyebrow but said no more.

The room fell silent again.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a very soft sound of the door closing outside.

"Miss Song also went back to her room to rest."

"Ah."

"I want to know what happened that day, but I don't dare to ask in detail. Could it be that Guang is afraid of what I really did?"

"..."

Takigawa Hikaru opened his eyes suddenly and looked at the darkness in front of him.
