As the cultural festival approaches, the preparations in the class have slowed down, not because the students are lazy, but because everything that should be prepared is almost ready.
Including the materials that can be used to assemble six soundproof rooms, all the items have been prepared. They only have to wait until the day before the cultural festival to assemble or decorate them in one go.
Seeing Takigawa Hikari leaving and returning, Naruse, who had not had time to leave, casually asked: "What's wrong?"
"The phone was left behind."
Takigawa Hikaru took out the mobile phone from the desk and shook it at him.
"I'm going to train. Does Chunhai want to come and see you today? You have nothing to do anyway."
"Well, next time."
"OK~"
Hikaru Takigawa quickly left the classroom again.
Naruse didn't intend to stay any longer. He picked up his schoolbag and hesitated for a while after walking out of the classroom.
Takigawa Hikaru was right. After the preparations for the cultural festival were over, he did feel a lot free.
"Let's go there today too."
Naruse is going to check out the second-hand store over there at the station.
Since he visited the store once, he has become familiar with the owner Chao Yueming, and they have been there frequently recently.
Sometimes he would help with small tasks such as tidying up and looking after the store, and sometimes he would just sit in the store, enjoying himself even if he did nothing.
And when Shangzi finishes his work in the club, he will come here to find him, and then go back together.
After going downstairs, Naruse was still changing his shoes when a burst of laughter came from another row of shoe cabinets behind him.
"Eh~ It's true~"
"You'll know after you try it once."
He turned around and glanced, and saw five or six hot blonde girls huddled together, and they seemed to be preparing to go back at this time.
Among them, the starfish was lowering his head and pulling on his shoes and didn't notice him.
The hot girls moved faster, changed their shoes, and walked out of the teaching building first. Naruse behind them was not far or close, they just hoped that they wouldn't always follow each other's way.
However, the places where hot girls gather are basically concentrated around the central station. Before he even left the gate of Tsu High School, Naruse was already looking for a shortcut to the second-hand store in his mind.
Because they were not far away, the hot girls’ wild chatter and laughter could be heard clearly.
"Haixing, you have been taking the make-up exam before. No matter how hard I asked you, you refused to come out. Everyone was very disappointed, so today I went to spend money at the karaoke bar..."
"Hey, why are you still talking about what happened three weeks ago?"
"Don't mind Don't mind~The money matter is settled."
"Wait a minute, I didn't agree?"
"Don't be so stingy, I took you out to play today."
"But I also paid for it yesterday..."
"If you keep worrying about money, you are not very gregarious, Hai·Xing."
"..."
Naruse, who had been pretending to look around at the scenery along the way, couldn't help but glance at the starfish squeezed in the middle.
There is no doubt that she was blackmailed by her "friends".
What an idiot.
No matter in every aspect, he is a fool.
Just touching the earrings, and thinking that she had a similar bad side a few years ago, Naruse couldn't blame her too much.
Rather, he understands her very well.
Let's mention it to Uncle Seiichiro after we get back, Naruse thought, that's all he can do.
Remind Starfish directly?
That will only have the opposite effect.
"...Besides, Haixing is not short of money. He is generous every time. Don't let everyone down."
"That's all the money I saved from working before..."
"Don't your family own a hotel? It should be easy to get money and other things."
"Eh? Even though we have opened a store, if we don't help, we won't have pocket money."
Haixing looked at the hot girl who spoke in surprise, "I've mentioned it before."
"Stupid~I mean..."
The hot girl came close to her ear and whispered.
"..."
Naruse looked at the sky, she probably wanted Haixing to steal the money directly from the store.
He is very familiar with this routine.
["Isn't your mother a big star? She should have a lot of money. Go and take some out... Stealing? If a son uses his mother's money, is that called stealing?
Or ask her to sign more. I have a way to help you, and that is Matsu Qianqiu's signature... Then you just need to share a small amount of the cost of my help. How about 30%? 20% is also fine."]<
/p>
Naruse sighed.
After returning home, I must remind Uncle Seiichiro.
"...No." Haixing said the refusal after a long while with difficulty.
Well, it’s not hopeless.
"Okay, that's boring. I'm doing this for your own good. Doesn't Haixing feel bored when he has no money to go out to play?"
"Actually, it's not too bad. If you stay with everyone, you won't feel too bored..."
"Huh? You're so weird."
"Hey..."
After following him in silence for a while, Naruse was just "eavesdropping" on how the hot girls would lure the starfish, and he didn't even notice that he had already passed several shortcut intersections that allowed him to go around to the second-hand store.
"Why hasn't Nanazi said anything today?"
"Needless to say, Nanako's heart has already flown to Shota."
"Who is Shota?"
"Haixing doesn't remember... Oh, when Shota came here last time, Haixing was still busy making up for the exam.
Shota is a college student at Ao University. We met when we went to a tanning shop in Aomori City before. We were here last time and we all had a great time. At the end of the day, Shota seemed to have gone to the Express Hotel with Nanako.
…Don’t stare at me.
By the way, he seems to be very interested in starfish, and he asked a lot about you last time. This time Shota also brought other boys over, let’s play together, everyone has a share~”
"Really~ Why is Meixiang talking like she's looking for a cowherd?"
"Hahaha - if the atmosphere is right, you will do that in the end."
Haixing looked at the hot girls next to him, especially Nanazi, who was staring at him coldly. She was still a little confused.
"Hey, are there any boys coming today? Which one is that?"
"Idiot~ What's the point of only playing with girls? We're all high school students now, so it's time to get in touch with some boys. And when you're tired, you must find a place to rest, such as a love hotel or something."
While they were talking, they had already arrived at the intersection with a red light.
"I went to a love hotel, just..."
The hot girl who was talking came close to Haixing’s ear again.
"Make love?!"
Starfish's face instantly turned red.
"Don't make a fuss! ...If Haixing doesn't want to, just watch from the side. At worst, I'll use two."
"Ah, what on earth are you talking about, Mei Xiang伱!...If there are others, I still won't go today..."
"This is not okay~"
A hot girl named Mei Xiang suddenly grabbed one of Haixing's arms.
"Hey, virgins are trouble. Haixing is really not happy, so just finish singing karaoke and then go home."
Haixing struggled and wanted to say something, but another hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her other arm.
"I'm asking you to use it as a wallet."
"..."
Starfish opened his mouth with surprise on his face.
Naruse ignored her, squeezed her arm, and glanced at the hot girls beside him.
"It would be even more difficult to leave midway after going to a karaoke bar. You might be asked to pay for the room: 'Ah, I forgot to bring the money. Haixing can help me pay for it and I will pay you back later.'... It really works.
Return it?"
"Hey, who are you?"
A stranger suddenly broke in, and the hot girls who were looking at their faces finally reacted, "Haixing, don't listen to his nonsense... Besides, what does it have to do with you?"
"Haha." Naruse smiled at the hot girls, "She is my sister."
"..."
Starfish was pulled by him in a daze.
Looking at the calm smile on his face, what came to her mind was another face that was completely opposite to it.
["I don't have a sister like her!"]
The traffic lights are flashing in countdown.
Standing at the crossroads he must pass to go home, Naruse glanced at the station where the hot girls were going, and held Haixing's wrist tightly.
