Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 456: Climb high and you can’t see far

On the second day after arriving at Hirayu Onsen, Naruse woke up very early in the morning.

Before going to breakfast, he went to the hot springs for a while.Back in the room, Shangzi was already awake and looking out the window in a daze.

Looking at the mobile phone left on the pillow, he sat down and said, "Get up early and take a bath. I feel refreshed."

Shangzi crawled over, got into his arms, and looked up at him.

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

Her long black hair fell behind her shoulders and flowed down from the back of her hands. Naruse lowered his head and smelled her scent.

"Then sleep is more precious...and we can't sleep together."

There are too many guests in this hotel. Except for the hot spring cleaning time, there are people soaking in it almost all the time. No matter how early or how late it is, there is no chance for adventure and excitement.

Shangzi puffed his lips but didn't say anything. He held him close for a while and then got up.

"Auntie, are you up?"

"Not yet. I knocked on the door just now and no one answered."

"I should have gone to bed very early last night..."

They arrived here yesterday, soaked in a hot spring, had dinner, and then wandered around the hot spring town. They returned to the hotel to rest in less than half an hour.Moreover, Matsu Chiaki and Miss Sato drank some wine at night, so they probably wouldn't go to bed too late.

After Shangzi finished washing, the two of them went to knock on the door, but there was still no response.

"Could he also go to the hot spring?" Shangzi suddenly thought of another possibility.

Naruse leaned against the door and listened, "It's possible."

When they came downstairs to the restaurant, Song Qianqiu and his assistant were already sitting here eating breakfast.The bunted hair was slightly damp, and it could be seen that the two of them had just finished bathing in the hot springs.

"You guys are up too."

"Good morning." Shangzi greeted.

"Good morning." Song Qianqiu smiled at her, "It's really comfortable to take a hot spring bath in the morning."

Naoko glanced at her boyfriend again, then sat down and started eating breakfast.

"Ah, there was also Hakuye yakiniku in the morning...isn't the taste too strong?"

"It's such a small portion, it should be eaten as a side dish with rice."

The Hakka yakiniku tastes salty, so Naruse ate some of it with the rice, and then took a sip of the miso soup.

"Well, the miso soup tastes good."

There was also fruit jelly as dessert for breakfast. After eating everything, they went back to the room to change clothes and started today's play.

After driving away from the hotel, Naruse sat in the back seat and looked out the window. The sun was rising and the hazy fog in the mountains was quickly dissipating.

Leaving the hot spring town, passing a hydroelectric power station and a bridge, the car quickly went deep into the mountainous area.

The jungle on both sides is vast, and the fragments of sunlight are either projected from the gaps between the branches and leaves, or the green leaves are illuminated translucently.The sky is blue, which makes people feel happy.

"The weather is nice." Song Qianqiu took off all disguises as soon as he got in the car. At this time, he opened the window and breathed in the fresh air in the mountains.

"Yes, the temperature is not high either." said Ms. Sato, who was driving the car.

Naruse looked away, "It's getting hot in Tokyo now."

"At this time last year, Harumi was still staying in Tokyo. Have you forgotten?"

"I won't go out at that time."

Song Qianqiu turned around and glared at his son, "He's even prouder now."

"If it's too hot, I can't bear to go out." Shangzi smiled.

Song Qianqiu looked at her again, "You are in the countryside, and the temperature is actually not low, but it feels much more comfortable than in the city."

"Yes."

"But it's not the hottest time yet..."

"Will you come back after a while?" Naruse suddenly asked.

Song Qianqiu was startled, then smiled, "Does Chunhai want me to come back?"

It will be Bon Festival in a while, and she will also have a few days off.

He looked out the window again, "Whatever you want."

"It's really...not candid at all."

"decide as things go."

Song Qianqiu glanced at Shangzi who was hesitant to speak next to him, and continued: "If there are no other arrangements, I will come back. I will say hello to you in advance."

"Okay." Shangzi responded.

She knew deep down in her heart that the boyfriend beside her really wanted her mother to come back during Bon Festival, but she herself actually wanted to keep a distance because of the non-existent pressure during the relationship.

It's only been a few days, that is, I'm just a little shy and uncomfortable with her eyes now, and it will get better by then... Shang Zi comforted herself in her heart.

After looking at the two children for a few more times, Song Qianqiu turned back and continued to look at the scenery on the roadside.

Miss Sato glanced at the boss's face and found that most of the relaxation she had just felt had faded away, and her face was more thoughtful.

Sure enough, being a mother means worrying about big and small things... She sighed in her heart. "What are you sighing for?"

"Suddenly it occurred to me that I had spent all my youth working in the office, and I still don't have time to find a boyfriend or anything."

"Is this the topic of salary increase today?"

"Yes, does it make you feel any sympathy?"

"I remember a little boy who entered the office last spring and was quite interested in Yoko."

"Ah, he...that's it."

"Don't you look pretty good? It seems that you have worked together a few times at work, so you don't get along well?"

"No money."

"If you think so, it will be hard to find."

"So my plan is to make myself rich first, so that the conditions for finding a boyfriend can be relaxed, as long as he is handsome."

"I'll wrap this around for you... Okay, I'll mention it to the office later."

"thank you boss!"

It only took about twenty minutes to drive from the hotel to the cable car station where they were going. Ms. Sato drove neither fast nor slow, and it took half an hour to get there.

There are several parking lots near the cable car station, so I randomly found a relatively close place to park my car, next to it was the rushing Kamata River.

"Miss Song, sunglasses! Mask!"

Seeing Matsu Qianqiu open the car door and get out of the car, the assistant lady immediately shouted.

"Oh...I almost forgot."

After returning to the car and re-arming his face, Matsu Qianqiu greeted his son and his girlfriend who were looking at the river, and the four of them walked into the cable car station together.

"You can store your luggage on the first floor."

"It's a burden to bring the cable car with you...and you have to pay for it."

The place to buy tickets is on the second floor. Naruse went to queue and bought four round-trip cable car tickets.

As long as they are elementary school students and above, everyone is treated equally and must buy an adult ticket, which costs [-] yen for a round trip.

It was still early, but there were quite a few people queuing up, and it took a while before it was their turn.

Naruse lined up in front of the three people. Taking advantage of his height, he forced the three people behind him to stand near the view.

He himself stood behind Shangzi and looked outside.

The cable car rose slowly and soon left the cable car station on the ground, climbing towards the Nabeira Plateau Station where it was transferred in the middle.

Far away from the earth, rising to the sky, the lush green mountains and forests are at their feet. Looking around, the mountains seem to be slowly squatting down in front of them.

Shangzi stared outside, his eyes straight, unavoidably a little scared, and she felt a little more at ease by leaning against his body.

"so high……"

"Where are we now? We will reach the top of the mountain later. The altitude is more than 100 meters."

"You can see far away."

"Ah."

After a while, the cable car entered the station, and several people came out of Nabeira Plateau Station and went straight to Shirakabaira Station where they climbed to the top.

However, upon entering the station, on the whiteboard used to display information next to the queuing channel, there was a sticker of "Bad" behind the "Visual View" column.

"Is the weather not good at the top of the mountain?"

Naruse frowned, "Let's go up and take a look before talking."

Queue, wait, get on the cable car, follow the cable car to the top and climb over a mountain. The situation at the top also appears in front of the passengers of the cable car.

"It's cloudy and foggy. The situation is not optimistic."

"Sure enough, yesterday's rain clouds haven't completely left yet..."

"This is quite beautiful."

"That's what I said..."

The passengers in the carriage were talking a lot, and Naruse could only sigh as he looked at the mountain top wrapped in clouds and mist.

Song Qianqiu turned to look at him, and suddenly raised her hand to grab his hair.

After a while, the cable car broke into a cloud and mist and stopped at the cable car station on the top of the mountain.

The cable car station located on a mountain more than 2000 meters high has five floors and has multiple functions: the first and second floors are the cable car station, the third and fourth floors are shops and restaurants, and the fifth floor is the observation deck.

Facing the wind, he climbed up to the observation deck. Naruse walked to the guardrail. He was surrounded by white mist, covered by mountains, and could only see the hazy shadows of trees.

Song Qianqiu and his assistant didn't come up at all.

Shangzi was not in a hurry to go down, holding his arm and standing next to him.

"It's a little cold."
