When they returned, Akiko breathed a sigh of relief. However, when she saw the faint dark circles under Kimura Hiroshi's and Nakamori Akina's eyes, she became a little uneasy. When they entered the house, Kimura Hiroshi said he was hungry and wanted to eat, so she called him to the kitchen.

Once inside the kitchen, Akiko couldn't help but say, "The car breaking down is just an excuse, right? Did you go to bed very late last night, so you woke up late?"

"Ah, how did Mom know?" Kimura Hiroshi was shocked. He looked at his mother, Akiko, wondering how she knew. He and Nakamori Akina had just returned home, and the three of them had been together the whole time. Nakamori Akina hadn't said anything. How did his mother, Akiko, know? Could she read people's emotions? Did she have superpowers?

Akiko rolled her eyes at Kimura Hiroshi and pointed at his dark circles, saying, "This is proof. Do you think I can't see it? You don't even know how to cover it up. Hiroshi, even though you're young, you still need to be more moderate, you know? Your health is very important. I don't want you to be troubled by strange things when you're middle-aged."

Well, Kimura Hiroshi didn't expect that it was his dark circles that gave him away. He had noticed them when he came out, but they weren't very obvious. How could his mother, Akiko, see them? Her observation skills are truly extraordinary, and she even knows such private things.

Kimura Hiroshi was naturally embarrassed to have his mother find out about this, but he still stubbornly said, "It's because my mother is urging me to have a child, otherwise I would have gone to bed early last night."

And now she's blaming her? Her mother, Mingzi, was furious. She put her hands on her hips and said, "Do you expect me to give birth to a child in one night? There's plenty of time in the day. Why do you need to do it all in one night? You haven't changed at all since you were a child. You just won't admit your mistakes."

"Okay, okay, Mom, please don't bring it up anymore. I'm already so old, it'll be embarrassing to talk about this. Hurry up and find something to eat for me and Akina, we're starving." Kimura Hiro knew he couldn't win against his mother Akina, so he quickly admitted his mistake and moved on from the matter.

Knowing that this was a matter between the young couple and shouldn't be discussed too much, Akiko, the mother, didn't press the issue. She found the dishes that Kimura Hiroshi had prepared for lunch because they hadn't come home, heated them up, and told them to take them out to eat.

After a long night of hard work, and without having eaten lunch, Kimura Hiroshi was very happy to have something to eat. He didn't mind at all that it was leftovers from lunch and brought it out to share with Nakamori Akina.

"I'm sorry, Akina, these are leftovers from lunch. Have a little bit first, and I'll prepare a big meal for you two tonight to help you both recover," Akiko said meaningfully. Since the two young people were planning to have a child, it was natural for them to need some nourishment.

However, Akina Nakamori didn't understand the meaning behind her words. She waved her hands repeatedly and said, "It's okay, Mom. It was our fault for not coming back at noon. Now we're troubling you to prepare food for us. We should be the ones feeling bad."

However, Kimura Hiroshi, who was standing next to him, naturally understood what his mother Akiko meant, but he couldn't say anything. He could only pick up his rice bowl and prepare to eat first. Right now, nothing was more important than his stomach, which urgently needed to be filled with food.

Chapter 664 Hawaii Vacation

After spending two days in Kasukabe, Kimura Hiroshi took Nakamori Akina to Kiyose. This time, the two did not leave immediately, but stayed in a detached house in Kiyose Chieko for two days. During the trip, Nakamori Akina's sisters also came to visit, and Kimura Hiroshi even bought gifts for their children, making it a very pleasant occasion.

After staying at their respective hometowns for a while, they embarked on their New Year's journey to Hawaii for vacation. Although she had been there many times before, Akina Nakamori had a real affection for the place, and Hawaii was always the first place she thought of when deciding where to go for a winter vacation.

As for Hiroshi Kimura, he didn't really have any particular requirements about where to go on vacation, so he would go wherever Akina Nakamori wanted to go. Since it was all about having fun, it didn't matter to him where he went.

They flew directly to Hawaii and checked into the villa again. This time, the two of them felt much more relaxed because there was no time limit for their vacation. They could stay as long as they wanted. Kimura Hiroshi said that they could stay until spring arrived in Japan before returning, which was also fine.

I bought the villa several years ago, and although it's been unoccupied for a long time, there haven't been any major problems. This isn't because the villa is of particularly high quality, but rather because of the villa management fees that Kimura Hiroshi pays every year. At America, as long as you're willing to spend money, the services you can enjoy are beyond your wildest imagination.

The entire villa, along with the lawn and swimming pool, is kept in pristine condition, as if someone has lived there for years. Even the electrical wiring inside the villa is perfectly fine. Of course, the price Kimura Hiroshi pays $20,000 a year for villa maintenance.

After settling in, Akina Nakamori immediately lay down lazily on a lounge chair by the villa's pool, enjoying the warm Hawaiian sun. After checking the villa and confirming that everything was alright, Hiroshi Kimura also lay down next to Akina Nakamori.

Just a few hours ago, they were wearing heavy coats in Tokyo, enduring the city's damp and chilly weather. But now they were in Tokyo, enjoying the warm sunshine. The difference was striking, a benefit of having money. Without money, how could they have the opportunity to fly directly to Hawaii for a vacation?

"It's so warm, it even feels a bit hot. Hiro-kun, I still prefer this kind of warm weather, I like the bright sun, rather than the somewhat stifling cold of Tokyo." Enjoying the sun, Nakamori Akina seemed lazy, and her tone of voice became slow.

Upon hearing Nakamori Akina's words, Kimura Hiroshi scoffed, "Is that so? I wonder who complained about how intense the Tokyo sun was in the summer, saying it was unbearable, but now they find the sun warm?"

These words were quite a killjoy. Nakamori Akina snorted, clearly not wanting to pay any attention to Kimura Hiroshi. Shouldn't they be enjoying the warmth of the sun together? Why were they bringing up old grievances? Her husband could be so infuriating at times.

After basking in the sun for a while, Nakamori Akina was almost asleep, but Kimura Hiroshi didn't want her to sleep at this time. If she fell asleep now, she would be wide awake at night, which wouldn't be good for him. Kimura Hiroshi wanted to sleep at night; he wasn't a night owl.

"Hey, Akina, you can't sleep yet! We still need to go buy groceries, otherwise it'll be hard for us to even wash up at night. So get up and come with me to the supermarket." Kimura Hiro pulled Nakamori Akina away from sleeping, to prevent her from being too energetic at night and also to help her adjust to the time difference.

When her desire to sleep was thwarted, Akina Nakamori began to linger on the recliner, throwing a tantrum and refusing to get up, her whole body resisting. However, she was no match for Hiroshi Kimura, who quickly swept her away in a princess carry, successfully separating her from the recliner.

With her arms around Hiroshi Kimura's neck, Akina Nakamori was no longer so sleepy, but she still clung to him and refused to get down, saying with a smile, "Since Hiroshi-kun has picked me up, then carry me to the supermarket. I think with Hiroshi-kun's strength, this shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Carrying someone to the supermarket? That's really audacious. You have to understand that the nearest large supermarket in their villa area is several kilometers away. Walking there is already very strenuous, and you would need to drive to make it easier. Carrying someone there would be practically a death sentence.

Kimura Hiroshi quickly shook his head, letting Nakamori Akina leave his embrace, and then said, "Let's hurry up and rent a car. How about we try some Hawaiian seafood first? We haven't had it in a long time and we're really craving it. Then we can go to the supermarket to buy some things."

Instead of nagging Kimura Hiroshi, Nakamori Akina's eyes lit up when she heard they were going to eat seafood. She pushed Kimura Hiroshi towards the door, saying, "Let's go quickly. I'm starving after such a long flight. If we're going to eat seafood, Hiroshi should have told us sooner. I would have gotten up much faster."

She really is a little foodie. Hearing that there was food, she became lively. Kimura Hiro smiled and was then pushed by Nakamori Akina to a nearby car rental company to rent a car.

This area is a resort area, meaning that many people don't live here but only come here for vacation during special periods. In America, without a car, many things become very inconvenient. So there is a car rental company next to the villa area, and there are many luxury cars available for rent anytime, although the prices are a bit steep. However, most people who own vacation villas don't care about the rental fee.

The car rental company owner knew Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori because they came here for vacation every year. So he was quite polite to them and even offered some discounts on car rentals, knowing that Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori would come again in the future.

After a brief chat with the car rental company owner, they drove the rented car to the seafood restaurant they frequented during their previous trips to Hawaii to enjoy some seafood.

As an island, it boasts abundant marine resources, but prices aren't much cheaper. That's just how it is; as a resort destination, almost everything is pricey, always more expensive than elsewhere.

After ordering some specialty seafood, Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori began to enjoy their meal, chatting as they ate. This time, they noticed that there were far fewer Japanese faces. Previously, they would hear many Japanese people talking in this seafood restaurant, but this time, they rarely heard those familiar voices.

However, Akina Nakamori didn't seem to notice any of this. She was completely absorbed in enjoying the seafood. But Hiroshi Kimura wouldn't allow her to eat too much at once. Her health had always been problematic, and she had to be careful about many things, otherwise she would easily get sick, such as having diarrhea.

After finishing the seafood, Kimura Hiroshi didn't rush to leave. Instead, he called over a waiter. When the waiter came over, Kimura Hiroshi asked him about going sea fishing. He didn't want to go with just the two of them, but rather with a large sightseeing sea fishing group.

Going fishing at sea sounds simple, but it actually requires a lot of caution. There's no other reason than that it's unsafe, especially when there are few people. Kimura Hiroshi had seen a lot of related things in his previous life. When going to sea, it's best to go in a large group. The more people there are, the shorter the time should be. Ideally, you should go in the morning and be able to come back in the evening.

The waiter was very helpful and told them that a friend of his ran a sightseeing fishing boat. He had a 300-ton boat that would take about 20 tourists on board for sightseeing and fishing each time. He said he could give them his contact information if they wanted to go.

Kimura Hiroshi immediately asked for the waiter's contact information and gave him a fifty-dollar tip as compensation for his trouble. The waiter was overjoyed. The tip was not small, but not excessive either; Kimura Hiroshi had struck a balance.

After asking their questions, Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori left the restaurant. As soon as they got in the car, Akina Nakamori seemed particularly excited. "Hiroshi-kun, are we going sea fishing? When are we going? Sea fishing must be different from river fishing, right? What preparations do we need to make?"

The last fishing trip was still fresh in her mind, and this time, Akina Nakamori was already quite impatient to go sea fishing. She was clearly eager to try what sea fishing was like.

"Don't rush, Akina. Sea fishing doesn't necessarily require going on a boat. You can find a spot on the shore to fish. But I need to figure out what the rules are for sea fishing here, and also what kind of person the captain of this boat is. Only after I've made sure everything is in order can we go sea fishing," Kimura Hiroshi reassured Nakamori Akina, telling her about the necessary preparations.

Unexpectedly, there were so many things to pay attention to when sea fishing. Nakamori Akina calmed down a bit and sat there obediently. "So much preparation is needed? It seems we still need some time to prepare. We can't be too hasty."

Since fishing requires some preparation, the two quickly shifted their conversation to buying daily necessities. Nakamori Akina started muttering about what they needed to buy, seemingly trying to memorize everything to prevent herself from forgetting.

Upon arriving at the supermarket and parking the car, the two began their shopping spree. There was no other way; every time they came on vacation, they needed to buy almost everything new – and not just a little, but a lot. Especially for Akina Nakamori, a woman with a bit of OCD, she had quite a few things to buy, and Hiroshi Kimura followed behind, helping her carry them.

Shopping took another half hour to finish. Kimura Hiroshi pushed the supermarket shopping cart, which was piled high with goods. Nakamori Akina had to help hold it up, otherwise she didn't know if the pile of things would fall over.

When they got to the car and saw such a huge pile of stuff, Akina Nakamori couldn't help but laugh. "Hiro-kun, didn't we buy too much? With so much stuff, people who don't know better might think we're preparing supplies for a post-apocalyptic survival."

"Hehe, what's so special about that? Look at those Americans, which one of them didn't buy a lot?" Kimura Hiroshi pointed to a car not far away, where two Americans had also come to shop, and they had also bought a whole carload of stuff.

This stunned Nakamori Akina. She covered her mouth and said, "Ah, why do they need to buy so much? Are they here on vacation, so they don't have any toiletries at their accommodation?"

"No, that's not true. That's how people in America are. Every time they come to the supermarket, they buy at least a week's worth of groceries and supplies, and that's considered a small amount. Some even buy a month's worth. So, they never buy a small amount, just like we are now," Kimura Hiroshi replied while carrying the groceries.

Many people in America do this: they buy a lot of things each time they go shopping, and then they don't need to come back. This is related to the fact that they live in a scattered place and are far from the supermarket. Of course, there are also reasons related to their lifestyle, but these don't really matter to them. They are just staying here for a short time and are not going to live here year-round.

Kimura Hiro's words successfully caught Nakamori Akina's attention. Instead of helping Kimura Hiro carry his things, she observed the American people buying things in the parking lot. She found that most American people really did buy a lot of things, even food. They bought a lot of food, and the variety was very limited.

"Is it really that pretty, Akina? Hurry up and help me move my things. We're here on vacation, and we want to enjoy our vacation when we get back. We can only use the pool at our villa once a year, so we have to make the most of it this time. Let's hurry back so we can enjoy the pool." To be honest, Kimura Hiroshi was actually a little eager to go for a swim.

Upon hearing this, Akina Nakamori realized that Hiroshi Kimura was carrying things all by himself while she was just watching, which was really going too far. She quickly went over to help, mainly by loading some small items onto the car. Then, remembering that they were going to swim in the pool later, she said, "Hey, Hiroshi, when we come to Hawaii, shouldn't we go swimming in the sea? Why do we have to go to the pool? It's too small."

"Going into the sea isn't out of the question, but let's swim in the pool first. Tonight, I'll take you to see a movie called America, which is also about swimming in the sea. After we watch it, we can decide whether or not we want to go swimming in the sea, okay?" Kimura Hiroshi began to have wicked thoughts.

He planned to take Akina Nakamori to see Spielberg's horror monster movie, "Jaws." It was an absolutely groundbreaking ocean monster movie, but it became a nightmare for a generation. Many people were afraid to go near the sea after watching it, which severely damaged America's seaside tourism industry.

Chapter 665 The Aftermath of the Great Jaws

In the afternoon, Hiroshi Kimura and Akina Nakamori enjoyed the swimming pool at their villa. They only come here once a year, so they naturally wanted to make the most of the pool; otherwise, the annual maintenance fees would be wasted.

Playing in the pool is indeed tiring, so they ate dinner out that night. Instead of seafood, they ate steak at a Western restaurant that Kimura Hiroshi had booked. After playing, they naturally needed to eat meat to replenish their energy, otherwise they would get very hungry in the evening.

After returning home from dinner, the two washed up and went to their room. Kimura Hiroshi then took out the movie "Jaws," which he had planned to watch that day.

Akina Nakamori had heard of the illustrious reputation of "Jaws." This film from the late 1970s caused a sensation worldwide. No other reason than that the film perfectly combined gore, suspense, deep-sea fear, and monster fear. Even decades later, it doesn't feel outdated; on the contrary, it easily evokes strong emotions.

"If Akina is scared, then we won't watch it." Before the broadcast, Kimura was worried that Akina Nakamori would really be scared, so he thought it would be better not to frighten her.

However, Akina Nakamori sat down next to Hiroshi Kimura, looking at the image of the great white shark on the videotape with great interest, showing no fear whatsoever. She patted Hiroshi Kimura on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead, I'm not scared at all. Hiroshi-kun really underestimates me."

Since that's what they've said, Kimura Hiroshi didn't hesitate any longer. He took the videotape, put it into the player, and soon the television in front of them lit up.

The two leaned together and began watching the movie. It has to be said that Spielberg is truly a genius commercial film director. His filming techniques were very ahead of their time, the pacing of the film was perfect, the plot was very engaging, and of course, the sense of horror and suspense was also at its peak.

Even Kimura Hiroshi, who had watched it many times, was captivated. Although the video quality wasn't great, a good movie can still be captivating even with poor quality. He was a little worried about Nakamori Akina next to him, afraid that she might be scared, so he reached out and put his arm around her waist, letting her lean against him, which would make her feel safer.

However, the result was somewhat different from what he had expected. Nakamori Akina did not cower in his arms or scream as he had imagined. She stared intently at the television, completely absorbed in the story. Even when the terrifying great white shark suddenly leaped up and bit a person in two, she showed no fear and watched with great interest.

This situation is clearly not right. It's not what Kimura Hiroshi originally expected at all. Nakamori Akina isn't afraid at all; on the contrary, she seems to enjoy watching this kind of exciting stuff.

After watching the two-hour movie, in the end the great shark was killed by the male protagonist. Nakamori Akina breathed a sigh of relief, which shows that she was really engrossed in the movie and empathized with the characters. She didn't feel relieved until the movie ended.

"Aren't you scared, Akina?" Kimura Hiroshi looked down at Nakamori Akina with some disbelief.

With a smile, Akina Nakamori raised her head and answered with a relaxed expression, "I'm not scared at all. But this movie is really well made, very good, very exciting. The great white shark scene was also very realistic. Wow, so this is what sharks in the sea are like. Are they really that scary?"

Why didn't she show any of the emotions a young girl should have, like wanting comfort or a hug? Kimura Hiroshi was greatly disappointed; it seemed his little prank had no effect whatsoever.

"By the way, Hiro-kun, do you have great white sharks in Hawaii? I really want to see them for real, to see if they're really that scary. Also, can you fish for them? If we go sea fishing, we should be able to catch one, right?" Nakamori Akina became very interested in great white sharks and started asking Kimura Hiro questions non-stop, wanting to see them with her own eyes and even wanting to try fishing for them.

Unable to resist slapping his forehead, Kimura Hiroshi replied, "How could you possibly catch such a huge creature? You'd be more likely to be dragged into the sea by it. As for whether it exists in Hawaii, maybe it does in aquariums, or maybe not. This giant needs to swim a long way every day to hunt and breathe. Ordinary aquariums simply cannot keep it; it needs a lot of space to move around."

However, Akina Nakamori completely ignored the requests that came with Kimura Hiroshi's words. She only heard that it might be in the aquarium, so she immediately grabbed Kimura Hiroshi's hand and said, "It might be in the aquarium? Then let's go to the aquarium in Hawaii to take a look. This thing in the sea is a bit dangerous, so let's not provoke it and just go to the aquarium to see it."

What could Kimura Hiroshi say? Since Nakamori Akina wanted to see it, then let her go. After all, they were on vacation and had plenty of time, so they could do whatever they wanted.

When Nakamori Akina heard that Kimura Hiroshi had agreed to go to the aquarium, she was overjoyed. Her little hands started to wander restlessly over Kimura Hiroshi's body. However, Kimura Hiroshi didn't want to show off his manly prowess today. After all, he had been on a plane for so long and had been swimming for a long time in the afternoon. In order to have a good time tomorrow, it would be best to conserve his energy.

So Kimura Hiroshi picked up Nakamori Akina and put her on the bed, holding her down with one hand. "Stop fooling around, Akina. You're tired from flying today, so you need to rest. I'll let you off the hook for now. If you dare to challenge me again tomorrow, I'll show you what I'm capable of."

Although he couldn't show off his manly prowess, Kimura Hiroshi still made those harsh remarks, at least he couldn't lose face, right? However, Nakamori Akina naturally understood what he meant, she leaned her head close to Kimura Hiroshi's shoulder, and then chuckled, "Oh, is that so? Well then, I understand. I won't bother Hiroshi-kun today."

These words were quite sarcastic, but Kimura Hiroshi didn't take them to heart. He could force himself on him, but for the sake of his health, it would be better to surrender. He would call a truce for today, because there would be plenty of time in the future to make Nakamori Akina beg for mercy.

Without bothering Kimura Hiroshi, Nakamori Akina quickly fell asleep as well. Like Kimura Hiroshi, she had been on a long flight and had played in the water in the afternoon. She almost fell asleep when she arrived at the villa to sunbathe, and now that she was finally lying on the comfortable bed, she naturally fell asleep in no time, seemingly even faster than Kimura Hiroshi.

After a good night's rest, the two of them were full of energy the next morning. After washing up, they went out for breakfast and then drove to the Hawaiian aquarium. As an island with the ocean right next to it, an aquarium is naturally indispensable. In this day and age, aquariums are a very profitable business, and it is also the peak season for the capture of marine life, especially dolphins, killer whales, and beluga whales.

As a tourist, Kimura Hiroshi naturally had no power to condemn anything; the Americans wouldn't listen to him. So, like other ordinary tourists, he bought a ticket and entered the aquarium. Sure enough, there were quite a lot of people there, many of whom came to visit.

In those days, the various misdeeds of aquariums were not exposed. People came to aquariums to see marine animals and some performances. They even felt that these marine animals were safer and more comfortable living in aquariums than in the sea because there were no natural predators and enough food.

I must say, the Hawaii Aquarium has a very rich variety of creatures. It is built on the beach and connected to the outside sea. There are many strange tropical fish, sea turtles, and even the very rare Hawaiian monk seals. It was a novel experience for Akina Nakamori.

She looked left and right, and whenever she found something new or interesting, she would call Kimura Hiroshi over to take a look, especially the monk seal. This thing looked rather peculiar, but it aroused Nakamori Akina's great interest, and she dragged Kimura Hiroshi to look at it for a long time.

"Ah, there are so many interesting things here. Why didn't we think of coming here when we came to Hawaii before? Wait, Hiro-kun, we forgot to bring our camera to the aquarium. We should have brought it to take some pictures. How could we forget something so important?" Nakamori Akina was quite annoyed that she had forgotten to bring her camera, as if she had missed something extremely important.

Hiroshi Kimura patted Akina Nakamori's head and reassured her, "It's okay. We didn't bring a camera. If we want to come back in a couple of days, we can bring it. We have plenty of time. We can come and take pictures anytime. We're both unemployed right now. That's all. We just have lots of free time."

"Unemployed, haha, Hiro-kun, you're so funny. Yes, we are unemployed, we have plenty of time to play. Quick, quick, let's go find some great white sharks." After being teased by Kimura Hiro, Nakamori Akina's mood instantly brightened, and she began to search for her ultimate goal in coming here: the great white sharks.

There are many sharks in the aquarium, and many kinds of them, but there are no great white sharks. Kimura Hiroshi had expected this before he came. Great white sharks are too big to keep, and they are also fierce and prey on a wide variety of species, so they cannot be kept with other fish. They also need a large range of activity. All these unfavorable factors combined mean that most aquariums do not keep them, even though they have unimaginable popularity.

Akina Nakamori was a little disappointed that she didn't find the great white shark she had been longing for, but her mood wasn't greatly affected. She had seen so many new and interesting things today, which broadened her horizons and made her very happy.

Around noon, the two of them came out of the aquarium and had lunch nearby. In the afternoon, Kimura Hiroshi suggested going to the beach. After all, they always went to the beach when they came to Hawaii, and it had left them with many wonderful memories. Naturally, they should go this time too, even if it was just for a walk.

So in the afternoon, the two of them applied sunscreen and went to the beach in Hawaii. There were many tourists there, and many beautiful women wearing bikinis, in white, yellow, and black. Kimura Hiroshi was really overwhelmed by the sight.

Sensing Kimura Hiroshi's shifty gaze, Nakamori Akina couldn't help but pinch his arm, saying indignantly, "Hiroshi-kun always stays at the beach for so long, so that's why. With so many beautiful women, does Hiroshi-kun enjoy looking at them?"
