According to the casual conversation during the table, the proprietress said that she and her husband had once traveled to China and were deeply impressed by the charm of that mysterious country.

They are saving money recently, and when they have enough, they will sell this hot spring hotel and move to China to settle down.

Given the current relationship between the two parties, this is a simple matter and there is no need to apply for a visa.

Li Mo and Kasumigaoka Utaha expressed their blessings to the proprietress, wishing her all the best.

After enjoying lunch, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had already had a nap on the "Romanticism", did not feel tired at all, and pulled Li Mo out of the hotel.

However, their luck was obviously not good. Although the sun was shining brightly when they were eating, by the time they reached the edge of Lake Ashi, the entire Lake Ashi was already shrouded in thick fog.

The mountains in the distance were looming in the fog, giving off a hazy beauty. After searching for a long time, Utaha Kasumigaoka finally found the location of Mount Fuji with the help of Li Mo.

Fortunately, it has little impact on the nearby scenery. Swan boats are docked at the pier, waiting for tourists to arrive.

After the red cruise ship passed by, the red torii gate behind it was revealed.

Next to the Maitreya Buddha statue not far away, two serious-looking crows looked at each other silently, as if they were thinking about where to get some French fries.

Farther away, many people were fishing with their fishing rods set up, among whom two old men with silver-white hair were particularly eye-catching.

"Hey, Shiyu, look, aren't those the two old people who sat opposite us when we got here?" Li Mo smiled and squeezed Kasumigaoka Shiyu's hand, pointing her in the direction, "It looks like they came earlier than us! Did they miss lunch?"

"What a coincidence?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha also saw the eye-catching figures, one holding a fishing rod and the other holding a fishing net, they looked unusually harmonious.

However, the two of them just discussed with a smile and had no intention of disturbing the two old people. They chatted and laughed while enjoying the scenery of Lake Ashi.

After viewing the scenery of Lake Ashi, the two went to see Sounji Temple. The temple was much more lively than Lake Ashi, and was full of foreign tourists.

There are blond-haired and blue-eyed Westerners, as well as Chinese people who speak various dialects and communicate with local tourists.

Chinese is one of the compulsory subjects in Sakura’s compulsory education. Although it is difficult to master it due to its difficulty, simple communication is not a problem.

After passing the dragon and tiger pictures on the sliding door, the shrine's blessing box and its two vertical signs come into view. On one side is written "Peace and Happiness in the World" and on the other side is written "Prosperity and Happiness for All People", both in traditional Chinese.

But as they walked, Li Mo always felt that the route that Kasumigaoka Utaha was looking for was a bit remote.

"Shiyu-chan, is it necessary to come to such a deserted place to collect materials?" Li Mo couldn't help but put forward his own opinion, "Is there any special scenery ahead?"

"Well, this seems to be about the same." Kasumigaoka Utaha's cheeks had turned red without her noticing, and she looked around, "It's about the same as I imagined."

"Here?" Li Mo looked at the surrounding scenery which was neither special nor distinctive, feeling a little confused.

"Yes, I have a special idea to realize in a place like this." Satisfied with the deserted scene around her, Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded and turned to look at Li Mo, "Yin Teng-kun, are you willing to help me?"

"Of course, it's my duty, Teacher Kasumi Shiko."

Originally, he came here to collect materials for Kasumigaoka Utaha, so Li Mo would naturally not refuse if he was needed.

Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly turned around, hugged Li Mo, and stared at Li Mo with her burgundy eyes.

"In the last chapter, the heroine, who was under pressure and unable to see her lover, revisited the place where they first met."

"I was surprised to find that the male protagonist was actually sitting there reminiscing about the happiness of the past."

"The heroine finally couldn't suppress her inner feelings any longer and turned her thoughts into actions."

Although his hands were honestly wrapped around Kasumigaoka Shiyu's plump waist, Li Mo still complained, "But we are here to conceive the beginning, why is it the end? And Shiyu, aren't you writing a 16+ light novel?"

"Well, there is always a way to solve this part by working a little harder on the description."

Kasumigaoka Utaha tilted her head back and blew out a gentle breath, letting the hot and humid air lift Li Mo's bangs, and proudly stated her solution.

It's just that girl...are you proud of the wrong place? Li Mo felt powerless to complain.

"Are you sure about spending the night outdoors in November, Shiyu?"

"Anyway, you just need to cooperate with my creation now!" Kasumigaoka Utaha showed her authority as a creator, "Don't forget, you haven't repaid the gift from teacher Kasumigaoka Utaha yet!"

"At the beginning, the heroine hugged him first, and the protagonist couldn't refuse her and stood there for a long time," Kasumigaoka Utaha imagined the plot by herself, "Then he smiled and gently stroked her long hair..."

When we returned to the hotel, the sunset had just driven away the thick fog that had shrouded Lake Ashi in the afternoon. The fiery color blended with the deep green in the distance, revealing a stunning beauty.

The mountains in Hakone are the most dangerous in the world, and this also applies to the cherry blossoms.

"So beautiful!" Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was lying on Li Mo's shoulder, murmured to herself.

After an afternoon of hard work, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was tired from walking, needed Li Mo to carry her on his back. This was a reasonable thing to do, right?

"really."

Holding up Kasumigaoka Utaha's unusually smooth long legs wrapped in stockings, Li Mo, who was also looking at Mount Fuji in the distance, nodded, expressing his agreement with Kasumigaoka Utaha's words.

In fact, this should be his second time to come to the vicinity of Mount Fuji, but it was different from this time. Last time, he was in a hurry to save people, so how could he have the time to appreciate the scenery?

"But if you write it in a light novel, you can't say that. Yin Teng-kun, do you know how to write it?" Kasumigaoka Utaha gently blew on Li Mo's earlobe.

Usually Li Mo would blow air towards her earlobe, but this time she finally had the chance, and the vengeful Kasumigaoka Utaha decided to take revenge.

“Can we just let the characters express their admiration for the beautiful scenery?”

"Of course not!" Kasumigaoka Utaha put her head on Li Mo's shoulder, "You wrote the light novel after imagining the scene, so of course you know what it looks like, but the readers don't know!"

“So you have to write about the fiery sunset, the rolling mountains, and the contrast created by the impact of the two completely different colors of red and green. Only in this way can your readers form a sense of the picture.”

"As expected of Teacher Xia Shizi!" Li Mo praised her again for who knows how many times.

"It's just Shiyu-chan." Li Mo didn't even need to turn around to feel Kasumigaoka Shiyu's warm breath and elegant fragrance. "How would you write about this afternoon's journey?"

"What are you talking about, scumbag?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu left a tooth mark on Li Mo's ear. "I'm writing a sixteen-plus novel!"

"Can't Sixteen Plus' novels write about temples? I received a call from "Love Metronome" to come out..." Halfway through, Li Mo suddenly realized what Kasumigaoka Shiyu meant, "I understand, you are not pure, Shiyu-chan!"

God bless him, he was really asking about the temple. He wanted to know how to write a temple tour without any conflicting events.

Of course he knew that Kasumigaoka Utaha was writing a sixteen-plus novel and there were some things that could not be written.

"Who knows what you are talking about?" Kasumigaoka Utaha's cheeks flushed, and she put her legs around Li Mo's waist and squeezed hard, trying to clamp this bastard to death.

She decided to ignore this guy Li Mo for a while.

How long is appropriate?

Kasumigaoka Utaha started thinking.

Chapter 233 A Wonderful Hot Spring Trip

In the end, Kasumigaoka Utaha made the decision to ignore Li Mo until after dinner and let him reflect on himself.

The reason why it was at that time was because she just finished eating and couldn't help but say a word, "When are we going to take a hot spring bath, Yin Teng-kun?"

"Hey, isn't this Miss Kasumigaoka? You remembered me so quickly?" Li Mo teased.

When she came back just now, Kasumigaoka Utaha said that she had just thought of a plot, in which the male and female protagonists forgot each other's existence because of some things.

So he asked Li Mo to cooperate with the performance and simulate a situation where neither of them knew each other.

Li Mo, who had no idea of ​​Kasumigaoka Utaha's main purpose, of course chose to agree.

He thought that Kasumigaoka Utaha would not speak until they returned to the room at night, but he didn't expect that the other party could not help but speak so quickly.

Just now when they were having dinner, the two of them were silent and the proprietress was shocked. After all, it was very rare for a couple to break up while traveling!

With this thought in mind, even though I didn't know what happened in the afternoon that caused the two to quarrel, I still tried hard to persuade them for a long time.

Li Mo originally wanted to tell the landlady the reason for the incident and tell her not to worry, but he was stopped by Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes.

"So," Li Mo was a little confused, "Why couldn't we tell the boss lady just now, Shiyu-chan?"

"You couldn't think of this, Yindou-kun?" Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't want her original purpose to be discovered.

At first, she just wanted to see how long she could ignore Li Mo, but later she felt that this matter was quite interesting, so she suddenly decided to write it into the plot.

"Of course we need to observe the reactions of our old acquaintances when they find out that we suddenly don't know them!"

But Li Mo was still a little puzzled, "The boss lady's behavior is not right!"

"This requires association. After all, although I am an experiential writer, it is impossible for all the plots I need to be performed around me in reality, so I need to associate related things."

Kasumigaoka Utaha explained seriously that she was usually a high-class beauty who didn't want to say a word to others, but when she was with Li Mo, she seemed to have endless things to say.

"For example, the boss lady's reaction just now, although the situation I described is different, her reaction should be the same as that of an acquaintance who sees a loving couple suddenly ignore each other. They are shocked and puzzled at first, then use themselves as an example, saying how difficult it is for you to get to this point, and finally feel sorry for us."

"And what I need is the boss lady's reaction. As for what she said, can't I just replace it with a dialogue that fits the context when the time comes?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha tried to keep her words as concise as possible, and at the end, she glanced at Li Mo.

"Writing a light novel is not like writing a diary. It requires you to process the events. It's not like writing a history book like you, Yin Tengjun, who simply describes the events in a straightforward manner."

"So that's how it is," Li Mo suddenly realized that he was indeed an absolute beginner in writing light novels. He was always habitually influenced by the large number of classics and history books he had read in the past.

So he sincerely praised, "As expected of Teacher Kasumi Shiko, you are amazing!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyebrows raised. Although she had heard this sentence many times, every time she heard it from Li Mo's mouth, she could never suppress the joy in her heart.

"Okay, stop flattering me," Kasumigaoka Utaha waved her hand, "Go get your yukata. We finally came to Hakone, and it would be a shame not to soak in the hot springs!"

The two returned to the room, took out their respective yukatas and towels, and walked to the large hot spring pool together. The left side was for women and the right side was for men.

There is a tall bamboo fence in the middle, which completely separates the two pools.

The two of them arrived at their respective locker rooms, one on the left and one on the right.

To be honest, the hotel was originally booked, and the landlady said that she would not come to the hot spring pool to disturb the two. Li Mo and Kasumigaoka Utaha were fully qualified to take a mixed bath.

In fact, Kasumigaoka Utaha also thought so, and she had just tried her best to tempt Li Mo to do so.

Li Mo, who was just worried that he would not be able to get out of the hot spring after bathing for two hours, of course rejected this matter sternly.

Kasumigaoka Utaha could only enter the locker room alone with a puffy face. When she was tying her hair into a bun at the back of her head, she suddenly thought of a good idea that should be able to trick Li Mo over.

She immediately hummed a song in a happy mood, took off layer by layer of clothes, wrapped herself in a bathrobe, and walked barefoot into the open-air hot spring.

This seems to be the characteristic of this hotel. Apart from the tall bamboo fence, the entire open-air hot spring bath is made entirely of various stones piled together. Above a bush, there is a solitary dim light.

It looks ancient and classical.

The water in the hot spring bath is the turbid white color unique to natural hot spring water, which is obviously different from the clear boiled hot water when taking a bath at home.

Although the color is not clear, it does not affect its cleanliness.

Especially since the proprietress had just told the two of them at noon today that in order to welcome the big customers of the bag shop, she had specially carried out a comprehensive cleaning of the entire hot spring bath, including the hot spring water.

But now all these cannot arouse the interest of Kasumigaoka Utaha. Finally, the tender white long legs wrapped in black stockings are slightly stretched out, swaying on the water surface.

The water temperature was neither hot nor cold, just right, and Kasumigaoka Utaha sat down comfortably.

Although she had already traveled for a whole day and was extremely tired, Kasumigaoka Utaha did not choose to just close her eyes and enjoy it. Instead, she moved her delicate body and gently patted the bamboo fence that divided the hot spring into two.

The bamboo fence is very high, but it is not difficult to understand when you think about its purpose.

"Hello, hello, Yin Teng-kun, is Yin Teng-kun there? Can you hear me?"

"What's up, Shiyu-chan?"

Li Mo's gentle voice made Kasumigaoka Utaha relax instantly. She sat down and leaned against the bamboo railing.

The only bad thing was that Li Mo was too far away from the bamboo fence, and the sound was a little vague.

"Come over here and chat for a while!" Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her head comfortably, "I've already promised you to wash separately, so it's not too much for you to agree to this request of mine!"

This time there was no response from the bamboo fence, but Kasumigaoka Utaha was not worried at all because she had heard the sound of people walking in the pool.

A sly smile immediately appeared on Kasumigaoka Utaha's lips.

"Okay, what do you want to talk about, Shiyu?" Li Mo's voice was much clearer this time, and it was obvious that he was next to the bamboo fence.

But now it was Kasumigaoka's turn to remain silent. She controlled her body, making sure not to make any noise.

"Shiyu? Shiyu-chan?"

After asking again, Kasumigaoka Utaha heard the sound of water coming up on the opposite side. She then dared to move carefully, putting her ear against the bamboo railing, listening to the movement on the opposite side.

"That's not right!" Kasumigaoka Utaha was slightly puzzled. Why didn't she hear any hurried footsteps? She clearly heard Li Mo coming ashore!

"Did he climb over the bamboo fence? That's impossible!" Thinking of the height of the bamboo fence and the spikes on it, Kasumigaoka Utaha rejected this idea.

"So, what are you doing, Kasumigaoka-san?" Li Mo stood helplessly on the pile of rocks, looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha who was trying to listen attentively in the bath.

Kasumigaoka Utaha shuddered all over, looked up in the direction of the voice, and immediately saw Li Mo standing next to her. She couldn't help but be slightly stunned, "Um, Yin Teng-kun, when did you... No, how did you get here?"

"Of course he jumped over here, or what else?"

"Um," Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked up at the spikes on the bamboo fence, then looked at the naked Li Mo, and asked weakly, "Aren't you in pain?"
