Naoko and Hikaru Takigawa came back from going to the bathroom. About half an hour later, Naruse also got up and went out.

Returning to the concert hall, Naoko sat in his seat and seemed to be chatting with Morimi about her cousin.

He sat down at her original seat.

"Eh..."

"What's wrong?" Shangzi looked over.

Naruse looked at the stage below, "Are the two sides starting to play together now?"

"Yes. It seems to be a common practice to take turns playing first, and then play together half an hour before the end."

"I thought it would be difficult for two different bands to play together."

"Perhaps the two of us have practiced together," Shangzi said.

The two wind bands played together, so there was no short break as they had just taken turns. However, judging from the increasingly lively rhythm of the music, the members of the wind band on the stage were really enjoying themselves and being engaged.

"The king's past life is a servant, the king is a detective..."

(I have been looking for traces of you since your previous lives)

Takigawa Hikaru hummed, and then smiled slightly at Morimi who was looking at him.

"How about~"

"Sounds good."

"It's over later, let's go to Karaoke and sing for a few hours before going home."

Morimi pushed up his glasses and said, "What time is it?"

"The concert ends at five o'clock. We sing until about eight o'clock, then go have something to eat, and then go home."

"At that time..." Shang Zi also looked over, "Do you want to walk back?"

"No, let's wait for dad to drive us back - he has to go to school to pick up Yue and go home anyway. How about that?" Hikaru Takigawa looked at the people around him and asked for their opinions.

Naruse glanced at Naoko and saw that she had no intention of refusing, so he asked: "Is there no one else but us?"

She has too many friends, but he has no interest in knowing or making friends with them.

"No."

Seeing that both Naruse and Shoko agreed, Morimi wanted to think about it again, but Hikari Takikawa held her arms and shook her, so she had no choice but to agree.

"Okay."

After a while, the ensemble on the stage gradually reached its climax.

As the last long tail note gradually dissipated, the concert hall suddenly became very quiet.

"Is it over?" Naruse whispered.

"Maybe?" Shangzi was also participating for the first time and didn't know much more than him.

At this moment, another melody sounded, and both of them were startled.

"Jin High School Song..."

At the end of the concert, the wind band of Nangao played the school song of Jingao;

After one section, the South High School song played by the Jingao Wind Band was followed.

The members of the wind club who were originally sitting all stood up, and while playing, they smiled and greeted their classmates from another school beside them.

"It's really good..."

The audience burst into applause.

In this harmonious atmosphere, the concert came to a successful conclusion.

The audience left one after another, and the four people also came outside.

Naoko and Morimi were going to find their friends and cousin respectively, while Naruse and Takikawa Hikari found a place to sit and wait.

"Haixing said she won't come."

"...When did you find her?"

"Just when everyone agreed." Hikari Takigawa smiled at him, "Because such an opportunity is rare."

It is indeed a rare thing to get all three of them to agree.

Naruse just felt that she said it a bit suddenly and did not resist Haixing's arrival, not to mention that she hadn't come yet.

"Do you have anything else to do with Starfish?"

"I don't know... I'm at home anyway."

"Really?" He didn't say much. For no reason, he pictured her lying by the window looking at the street below.

Putting away the phone, Takigawa Hikaru said again:

"Speaking of which, I feel like Starfish has been acting a little strange recently."

"...What's weird."

"When we play together, we occasionally feel alone in a daze."

"..."

Naruse pursed his lower lip and frowned, "Don't tell me..."

Takigawa Hikaru was stunned, "Huh?"

"No, I mean..."

He was silent for a while and took a deep breath.

"When you're in puberty, it's normal to have worries."

Takigawa Hikaru bumped his shoulder, "Why do you say such things in an adult tone?"

Naruse was knocked crooked, and then smiled again, "After all, I used to be an older brother."

"Okay. That's right, so Chunhai's attitude towards Haixing is different from others." She said casually.

"..."

He has something on his mind, but he always feels that there is something in her words.

"Why haven't they come here yet?" Naruse forcefully changed the subject.

"Well..."

Takigawa Hikaru didn't care, and looked in the direction of the two of them, "I'll go take a look."

"Go ahead."

Watching her leave, Naruse slowly exhaled and looked into the distance.

After a while, the three of them came back together, pulled him and left the Civic Hall.

......

After singing happily for more than two hours, Naruse and his party came out of the karaoke. It was already dark outside.

The snow stopped in the afternoon, and the night sky rarely showed its true appearance, with stars dotting it.

"If it doesn't snow, it will be even colder..." Hikari Takigawa hugged her arms tightly and spit out a cloud of white mist.

Naruse fell behind and looked at the deserted streets, "Can you still find a place to eat now?"

Since the beginning of winter, even in the Central Station area, the number of shops operating normally has been decreasing - there are not many people in the countryside, and when the weather gets cold, even fewer people are willing to go out.

Some shops are only open between 10 am and 3 pm during the day, let alone at night.

"Come with me." Hikari Takigawa reassured him.

She led the way, walked for a while, and brought the three of them to a small road. As expected, there was a restaurant that was still open. Read the book

【Aomori Specialties~Local Cuisine】

"The Mutsu Bay specialty set meal here with a yakiniku pot only costs more than 1,300 yen. It's very cheap, right? And it tastes very good."

While introducing, Hikaru Takigawa led the three people in and greeted the clerk familiarly.

Naruse ordered an Iwaki Plateau pork pottery set meal and handed the menu to Naoko next to him.

She looked through it for a while, but still didn't order.

"Can't decide?"

"Hmm...it all looks delicious."

"Then Shangzi, please order this. I want to try this white fish."

"Okay."

Morimi and Hikaru Takigawa sat across from each other and each ordered a different set meal.
