After school in the afternoon, Monk Naruse didn't stay at school for long and went back directly.
I’m going to Sendai in the evening.
After returning home, he packed his luggage a little, and when he went to the bus stop to gather, he saw Starfish waiting there with a bag. He was not surprised at all.
They all have to go there, and Morimi will definitely not let her behind.
Haixing looked at them, "Yiye said we can go play together..."
"..."
Double standards.
"We learned from the past." Naruse said seriously.
Haixing was startled, "Ah..."
Shangzi smiled and reassured her.
After waiting for a while, Morimi also came over.
"Have you brought everything?" she asked Haixing.
"I brought...just a change of clothes."
"Anyway, we're going out to play, so it's troublesome to bring too many things." Naruse suddenly interjected.
"..."
Morijian pretended not to hear, and said a few words to Haixing before looking at him.
"Is there any news?"
He stared at her for a while, "She said she would wait a little longer."
Buzz——
Another message has been sent.
Light: Come to my house.
"Go to her house."
Several people picked up their luggage and went to Takigawa's house.
"No need to wait for the bus, dad said he will be back soon."
Hikaru Takigawa came over and opened the door, "We will be sent directly to Aomori to take the Shinkansen later."
"Really?"
"Everyone is here." Takigawa Yue, who had not seen each other for a long time, greeted a few people on the sofa, "Let's go play together."
"Yeah." Haixing nodded.
Naruse glanced at Morimi, and she looked at him and then at Takigawa Yue, then went over to sit next to her and asked her about her preparations for the exam.
After more than ten minutes, Takigawa Yohei drove home, took a short rest, and prepared to send a few people to Aomori.
"Put your luggage in the car first."
Takigawa Yue got into the car and sat in the passenger seat.
Hikari Takigawa sat in the middle, and Starfish occupied another position.
Naruse, Naoko and Morimi sat in the last row, filling all seven seats.
"I originally wanted to drive you directly to Sendai." Takigawa Yohei said while reversing the car, "But I have work tomorrow morning and I can't get away."
"It takes eight or nine hours to drive back and forth. It's really too far." Naruse continued.
Takigawa Yohei was a little surprised and looked at him in the rearview mirror, "Has Harumi also walked that road?"
"No, I just checked the route on the map before and learned about it." Naruse said.
"That's it."
He nodded and then talked about the route by car from Jinqian.
"... After passing Ogatoro Town, you will basically be driving in the mountains, especially..."
While Takigawa Yohei had just turned around and had not set off yet, Naruse patted the starfish's seat in the front row and motioned for her to change seats with him to facilitate communication.
Just as Haixing was about to get up, Takigawa Hikaru held her down and said, "I'll go to the back."
Naruse switched places with her, and then with Haixing.
"..."
Suppressing his surprise and secret joy, Haixing looked back at Naoko, who was sitting between Morimi and Takigawa Hikaru, and quickly turned back.
After they sat down again, Takigawa Yohei said hello to his wife who stayed at home and set off on the road.
"In the first month of the past few years, I drove Midoriko, Hikaru and Yue to Morioka, and when we passed Shikaku..."
As Takigawa Yohei drove, he talked about the past. Naruse responded from behind and occasionally asked "What next?" At least he seemed to be listening attentively.
Starfish huddled on the seat, looking at the driver when he spoke, and looking at him when he spoke.
When they arrived in the city, Takigawa Yue, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly sat up straight and stared at something outside for a while.
"Dad, stop over there."
"What's wrong...have you seen someone you know?"
"Well, classmate."
Takigawa Yohei drove over and slowed down to stop.
Takigawa Yue lowered the car window, "Ranzi, Qingmei."
"Hey, Yue..."
Two girls on the roadside came over and saw Takigawa Yohei in the driver's seat. They said hello first and then asked: "Uncle, can you send Yue directly to Sendai?"
"No, it will only be sent to Aomori. We will take the Shinkansen there."
"Hey...then take us there by the way. Ranko and I just planned to go to Aomori."
"Ah..." Takigawa Yue looked back at the car, which was already full.
Qingmei also looked over and realized that the seats were already full.
She and Starfish looked at each other.
"Hey, these kids..."
When her eyes fell on Naruse's face, she paused again.
"We are Yue's support group——" Takigawa Hikari's voice came from the innermost place.
"Haha, I see. Do you want to go with Guang Yue?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, forget it." The two waved their hands, "Let's work hard for the exam tomorrow."
Takigawa Yue nodded repeatedly.
After saying goodbye, Takigawa Yohei stepped on the accelerator and the car restarted.
"Are some of Yue's classmates going to Sendai to take the exam?" he asked.
"Well, we made an appointment to meet in Aomori."
It takes 40 to 50 minutes to get from Tsumae to Shin-Aomori Station, but there was no snow this afternoon, the road was smooth, and the speed of the car was basically not affected.
After sending the group to the station, Takigawa Yohei looked at his little daughter and said, "I'll take care of the moon."
"Okay."
He looked at Naruse again, "These girls, please leave it to Harumi."
Naruse nodded, "Okay."
He finally looked at his eldest daughter who will take the exam tomorrow.
"Don't think too much, just be as usual."
Takigawa Yue stood up straight and lowered her head slightly.
"Okay. I'm leaving."
After watching Takigawa Yohei drive away, a few people picked up their luggage and entered the station.
"Have Sister Yue's classmates arrived?" Naruse remembered what he heard in the car just now.
"Let me ask..."
Takigawa Yue picked up her phone and sent a few messages, then looked around, "They are over there."
Several people followed with their things.
I met Takigawa Yue and other classmates who were also going to Sendai for exams. After waiting for a while, they got on the Shinkansen to Sendai together.
"Yue, where is your hotel?"
Because they were going to different schools, they just made an appointment to go to Sendai together and lived in different places.
“The West Hotel is close to the station and Northeastern Metropolis.”
"Ah, sure enough... we are here, far apart."
"Let's meet again after the exam."
"This is the only way..."
The train went all the way south, leaving Aomori and heading towards Sendai.
Nearly two hours later, the Shinkansen stopped at Sendai Station, where the group got off and temporarily separated.
"Come on, Moon."
"Yeah, you have to work hard too."
After hugging, saying goodbye, and leaving the station, several of Takigawa Yue's classmates went to take the tram or bus, while she picked up her luggage, followed Naruse and others, and walked to the hotel.
"Go to the hotel first, and then come out and find a place to have dinner."
"Okay."
Naruse lowered his head and looked at the map, then looked at the intersection in front of him, "Go this way."
The hotel building is tall and conspicuous, and you can see it from a distance, but it just takes a while to walk there.
Coming to the bottom, Hikaru Takigawa looked up and said, "It's so high."
"Our room is also on the upper floor, come in."
Walk into the hotel and check in. The price of the hotel is not cheap, so the service is quite attentive.
"Please follow me."
Following the hotel staff into the elevator, I continued to rise with a faint feeling of overweight, and did not stop until I reached the 21st floor.
Several people's rooms are on the same floor, but they are not completely connected together.
Naruse's room is adjacent to Naoko's room. A few rooms away are the Takikawa sisters' rooms, and beyond that are Haisei and Morimi's rooms.
After putting down his luggage, Naruse walked to the window and looked at the Sendai city below.
The night has risen, the lights in the city are bright, and not far away is the Sendai Station they just came from.
After putting down his luggage, Shangzi also came over and stopped beside him.
"So high."
"Yeah. If you live on the other side, you can overlook the Northeastern University campus."
After looking at it for a while, she looked back at the two beds pushed together. Because he was the only boy, he lived in a separate room.
"Chunhai." The other four people also came over, "Let's go eat."
"Let's go."
After leaving the hotel, under the guidance of the map, a few people found a restaurant nearby to have dinner.
