Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 142 Returning to Aomori

After soaking in the hot spring for a while, when Naruse returned to the room alone, the futon had already been made.

Morimi and the Takikawa sisters were sitting where they slept last night, chatting while watching TV.

"It's been a long time." Takikawa Hikaru looked at him, "How do you feel?"

"its not bad, right."

He stretched his arms.

"The massage is quite comfortable, and the bedrock bath is also okay... Well, it should be said that I slept well."

She smiled, and Morimi next to her asked, "Where are Shangzi and Haixing?"

"Let's still soak in the hot spring." Naruse walked in and sat on the innermost futon, "I'm sweating a little... Morimi should also experience the rock bath."

"If there is a chance in the future."

Not long after, Shangzi and Haixing returned to the room together, still holding a few bottles of milk.

"Drinking some milk makes it easier to fall asleep."

Dinner started at seven o'clock, followed by a walk, massage and bedrock bath, and when the two of them returned to their room, it was getting late.

Watching TV and chatting for a while, seeing Takikawa Tsuki yawning, several people were also getting ready to go to bed.

"Turn off the lights."

Hikaru Takikawa got up and came to the switch, and looked back at his companions who were lying down.

The location remains the same as last night.

Naruse looked at her from the inside, "Shut it up."

pat.

Staring at the ceiling, her eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, Hai Xing turned her head to look at Senjian, and she soon followed suit.

"I won't be able to sleep today."

"No way." She nodded and pulled the quilt up.

"Go to bed early, and you can have breakfast tomorrow morning."

"Uh-huh."

The movement behind him subsided quickly, Shangzi looked in front of him again, Naruse was sleeping inside, eyes closed already.

She reached out her hand from under the quilt, stretched it towards him, and closed her eyes.

She waited calmly, no matter what the outcome.

Calm to the extreme, the people around him remained silent, and sleepiness suddenly stirred up waves.

Consciousness gradually sinks in the dark night.

She seemed to have fallen into the deep sea, and the light, shadow and sound floated on the surface of the sea, getting farther and farther away from her, and becoming more and more blurred.

Until a certain moment, she suddenly emerged from the dark depths quickly.

"..."

When consciousness recovered, Shangzi found that he had opened his eyes, the room was bright, and there were faint footsteps in the corridor.

It was already the next morning.

"Good morning." Naruse sat beside him, turned to look at her, and seemed to have woken up for a long time.

"Good morning……"

Shangzi blinked, and felt his body again.

She didn't need to lower her head, she could feel both of her hands shrunk under the blanket, and she didn't know whether it was stuffed in by him, or she unconsciously retracted it when she was sleeping.

She was a little disappointed, but didn't care too much.The surprises like the night before always happened unintentionally, not when they were deliberately pursued.

Stretching, Shangzi turned over and faced the inside, "When did Chunhai wake up?"

"Just woke up for a while." He replied, his hair still a little messy.

"I heard footsteps in the hallway outside, and I figured someone was leaving early - the moment I realized that, I found myself awake."

Shangzi smiled and sat up too.

She looked at the other companions beside her, except for Takikawa Tsuki who was staring at the phone, they were still awake.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Takikawa Tsuki continued to fiddle with the phone.

The bathrobe was a bit messy, Shangzi pulled the neckline, tidied it up a bit, then climbed out of the bed, walked to the window and stood.

The window on the third floor has a panoramic view of the whole hot spring street, but at this time there are only three or two people on the road.

"There's no one there yet."

Naruse also stood up, "After all, it's only past seven o'clock."

"Yeah." Shangzi replied in a low voice, leaning against him.

The morning was rare and clear, and the sun was rising in the east, emitting a ray of light.

Although there are still many and thick clouds on the other side of the sky, this kind of clear sky will not last long, but it is always pleasant to see the rising sun when you wake up.

After watching for a while, Naruse suddenly said, "I'm going back today."

Shangzi didn't feel disappointed, "Yeah."

"Before we get back to Tianjin, let's go buy the things we need for the New Year. Anyway, we don't have any luggage, or let them help us bring them back."

She nodded, "Okay."

"That's it. Tell them to get up and have breakfast first."

Naruse turned around and clapped his hands a little harder, while raising his voice: "Wake up——"

The three people who were still asleep woke up one after another, staring at each other, struggling back and forth with sleepiness.

Naruse didn't wait for them to wake up, he went to the guest room outside to change clothes and wash up by the way.

After brushing his teeth and washing his face, the hotel provided some basic skin care products for free, and he put on some hand cream to prevent frostbite.

When he came out of the bathroom, the sliding door of the bedroom suddenly opened.

Starfish stood at the door, bleary-eyed.

And behind her, Morimi had just taken off her yukata, Takikawa Hikaru was buttoning up her sister's bra strap, Naoko, who was only wearing the underwear underneath, bent down and bowed her head, facing this side.

For the first time, he had so intuitively perceived some amazing facts visually.

"..."

Morimi narrowed his eyes, the two looked at each other, Naruse quickly looked away.

"starfish--"

Amidst the screams, the sliding door was pulled shut by Hikari Takikawa who rushed over.

"..."

Naruse pursed his lower lip, and there was a follow-up movement from inside.

"Ah, sorry!"

"...you wake me up."

"It's okay, fortunately, Chunhai just saw it."

"Just... how can this be regarded as 'not bad' and 'nothing'."

After a while, the sliding door opened again.

Morimi, who had already put on his clothes, came out first and stopped to look at him.

Naruse thought she would say something, but she rolled her eyes, turned her head and went into the bathroom.

And Shangzi who followed came out blushed a little, just smiled at him, and didn't say anything about what happened just now.

Hai Xing sat inside and stared at him, with a hint of anger, but he stared back again.

"..."

After all, it was unreasonable, she was quickly defeated, and turned her head to look aside.

Takikawa Hikaru smiled and told him not to worry.

After washing up, several of them went downstairs together to eat the breakfast provided by the hotel.

"Go ahead first."

Naruse went to the front desk to inquire about the situation of the hotel's private minibus.

Knowing that there were still many vacancies on the first bus to Dashitian in the morning, he reserved six seats first.

"Fortunately, there is still a place... I visited the hot spring last night."

When you come to the restaurant, although the breakfast provided by the hotel is not as rich as the dinner, it is also very delicate.

Freshly boiled hot spring eggs are covered with delicious Yamagata local rice, served with yam paste, fish roe and the hotel's homemade pickles, delicious;
Wild vegetables, mushrooms, burdock and rice cakes are added to the cooking pot, which is delicious and warms up;

And in the dessert bowl, in addition to cherry yokan and matcha, there is also a shiny, completely transparent Shuixinxuan cake.

"It's a big loss that I couldn't get up for breakfast yesterday." After breakfast, Takikawa concluded in this way.

Naruse nodded, agreeing.

And after breakfast, a few people didn't stay much.I went back to my room and rested for a while. Taking advantage of the absence of tourists in the morning and the street was still empty, I went downstairs with my luggage and checked out.

"It's icy on the ground, it's a little slippery, be careful."

After leaving the hotel where he stayed for two days, Naruse looked back and walked ahead.

I got on the hotel minibus parked outside the hot spring street and waited for another 10 minutes. Two middle-aged couples came up who said they wanted to catch the Shinkansen back to Tokyo. The driver stopped waiting and drove away from Ginzan Onsen.

Starfish sat by the window and looked back for a while.

"I'm going back."

Sen Jian looked at her, "Yes."

Starfish didn't look away until there was only a vast expanse of white snow left, front, back, left, and right.

At Oishida, a few people got off and took the Shinkansen to Yamagata.

The route back was exactly the same as when we came. When we arrived at Yamagata Station, we took a bus to Sendai.

After two hours of Shinkansen, several people returned to Aomori.

It was already noon when we took the tram back to Tsuqian.

The journey, neither long nor short, came to an end. Coming out of the central station, Hikari Takikawa raised his arms high.

"came back--"
