Perseid Meteor Shower

Bell rings.

The boring classroom on a summer afternoon suddenly came alive, and the sleepy students who rushed out of the door one after another.

Time to go back to school again.

Naoki unhurriedly put the book into his bag, turning to Itsuki: "You want to go to the library to study today?"

"Cough cough."

Itsuki coughed twice, and glanced at the short-haired girl sitting in front of her guiltily, and said earnestly: "Nino said that we will go shopping together today, Asakawa-san will go alone."

Naoki agreed, got up and walked out.

As he passed through the door of the next class, a girl with a white headband and waist-length blue hair had just walked out.

"Asakawa-san, good afternoon."

Naoki glanced at the trio of Thorns behind Furuhashi, and said firmly:

"Furuhashi-san, good afternoon."

In order to protect Furuhashi, the Thor Club trio are said to have practiced taekwondo, karate and judo, and their strength scores are much higher than that of ordinary girls. Otherwise, Naoki would not want to be blacklisted by the Thorns Club.

Furuhashi asked:

"Going to the library to study?"

"Um."

"Then let's go together?"

The three girls from the Thorn Club narrowed their eyes.

Naoki paused for a moment, and said nonchalantly, "Wait for Ogata to go together."

The warning sight in the air instantly disappeared.

"Fumino-chan, I will be participating in club activities."

"Fumino, I'm going to work."

"Fumino-chan, see you tomorrow."

The three girls from Thorns Society waved goodbye to Furuhashi.

Furuhashi smiled brightly, as warm as the sky above his head, and greeted them one by one: "See you tomorrow, everyone."

"Fortunately, I mentioned Ogata's name." Naoki watched the three girls leave, and whispered, "I almost got dragged into the gym warehouse for education."

"Not too much." Furuhashi walked over, "Kashima-san and the others are very gentle and kind people."

It is gentle and kind in front of you, but in front of others, it is as cruel as the cold wind!

"That's right." Furuhashi's eyes lit up as she looked up, "There's a meteor shower tonight, Asakawa-san you know?"

"Meteor Rain?" Naoki was surprised, "I didn't see it on the internet."

Furuhashi explains:

"Because it's the Perseid meteor shower."

I see.

There are three major meteor showers in the Northern Hemisphere, namely the Perseid meteor shower, the Quadrantid meteor shower, and the Gemini meteor shower. These three meteor showers occur annually and are never absent, they are not once in a hundred years or once in a thousand years, so they are on the Internet and not viral.

Naoki pondered:

"If I remember correctly, the Perseid meteor shower appears in July and August every year?"

"Right, tonight will happen once." Furuhashi explained with bright eyes, "Gemini meteor shower in December, and Quadrantid meteor shower in January. Among them, the Perseid meteor shower is the largest and the most popular…"

As a fan of astronomy, Furuhashi was familiar with the relevant knowledge.

After talking about the scale and timing of this year's Perseid meteor shower, Furusashi heaved a sigh of relief, "Has Asakawa-san ever seen the Perseid meteor shower?"

Naoki chose to tell the truth: "…No."

Furuhashi: "😐"

"I've seen a meteor." Naoki shrugged, "I've never seen a meteor shower."

Meteor showers sound good, and blow like a shower of stars. Unfortunately, the reality is not that interesting. Of course, it's not as much rain. The unit of measurement is generally hours, and tens of meteors per hour are not bad, and usually appear in groups, and after a moment, the rest is a boring waiting time, staring at the sky with an open mouth, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit ridiculous.

Many people meet to watch meteor showers, and they often end up playing with their phones

"It doesn't matter if you haven't seen it, you can watch it tonight." Furuhashi quickly gave a thumbs up, "The Perseid meteor shower is the best viewing experience, highly recommended."

Naoki said unmoved:

"Light pollution in the city is serious, so you can't see clearly, can you?"

"Ugh-"

Furuhashi puffed out his cheeks.

"Sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me."

Naoki apologized three times in a row.

"Hmph." Furuhashi snorted softly, revealing that she was still in a state of rage, "This year's Perseid meteor shower is a once-in-a-decade eruption, what a shame to miss."

"Yes." Naoki raised his hand and said, "When I return to the apartment at night, I will watch it from the balcony."

"The view from the balcony is too narrow." Furuhashi said, "You should find a place with an open view."

Naoki thought for a moment and said, "School field?"

"School will be locked at night!" Furuhashi looked ahead, "Ah, I thought about it!"

"Where?"

"That little river near your house." Fumano's eyes lit up, "Now that the rainy season is over, the fireflies should come out too, right?"

"Now there." Naoki nodded, "It's just that it hasn't reached the maximum amount yet."

"It has been decided." Furuhashi said expectantly, "Go to the river at night to watch the meteor shower and fireflies!"

Talking along the way, they walked into the library subconsciously, and then naturally read books and studied.

There were very few people studying together today, the quintuplets of the Nakano family went shopping together, and Asumi was going to work at the cafe. There was only Ogata left, and they had to deliver udon in the evening.

So around 5 o'clock, Furuhashi was surprised to find that it was only her and Naoki left in the library.

"It's solved." Furuhashi nodded in satisfaction and closed the exercise book, "Asakawa-san, shall we go too?"

"The sky will be completely dark at 7, stay by the river until more than 8, then go home." Furuhashi nodded in satisfaction, "The timing is right."

Naoki slowly packed his school bag: "I always feel that his plans can't keep up with the changes."

The two of them left the library, got on the carriage, and walked towards the river.

After getting off the train, it was already dusk, and evening was already twilight.

Naoki looked at Furuhashi:

"Back for dinner?"

"Forget it, find a place to fill your stomach." Furuhashi hurriedly shook his head, and blushed slightly, "I didn't say hello before, and suddenly visiting the house would cause trouble for Aunt?"

Most importantly, Aunt's attitude towards herself was too warm, which made her feel guilty.

Thinking of this, Furuhashi suddenly became nervous: "I'm not going to meet your mother, am I?"

"Do not be nervous." Naoki comforted, "Tokyo is huge, the chance of two people meeting by chance is only one in ten million."

"Good..."

Furuhashi was relieved.

The next second.

A soft and pleasant voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them.

"Fumino-chan?"

Furuhashi turned to look and said, "Mom?"

Asakawa's mother was surprised, raised her hand to cover her mouth, and smiled: "Ah, Fumino-chan called me mom so quickly, mom was very happy."

"Ahhh! It was a sprained tongue just now!"
