I am a voice actor, not your emotional support

"No need to ask... it's just... helping a friend is a simple thing for me."

"Senior Uehara, I feel my stomach is much better after eating the lunch boxes you made. I guess I won't need to take medicine next time I go to the hospital for a checkup."

"After all, you are still young, so just pay more attention to eating properly in the future."

"No, I mean... Uehara-senpai, you..."

"Mr. Uehara, what are you two talking about? Why are you stuck in the same spot for so long?" Takahashi Li Yi approached the two of them curiously and interrupted the conversation between Mizuno Inori and him.

At this time, the tourists behind him also had some opinions, but because the obstruction did not last long, they did not say anything.

"Let's go first. There will be plenty of opportunities to talk about this." Uehara Toru smiled at Mizuno Inori and said.

"Yeah, yeah." After nodding, Mizuno Qi also whispered an apology to the other tourists who had been obstructed just now.

Takahashi Rie noticed this, smiled and walked forward to hold Mizuno Inori's arm.

"Xiao Shui, you are so polite."

"Eh?"

"Come with me, I'll take you out to play later, although I don't know what we can play yet."

"Hey, I... that..."

-

Getting ready to board the cable car.

A cable car can hold about ten people, which is exactly the five of them plus five strangers.

Toru Uehara and Kaito Ishikawa sat at the front, one on each side, acting as left and right guards.

Xiaoshui sat close to Uehara Toru, very naturally, and no one competed with her for the seat.

Xiao Shui suppressed the joy in her heart and silently pinched the hem of her skirt.

As the door of the cable car gently closed, the car began to move steadily up the track, slowly shuttling through the mountains. Looking down from the cable car, you can clearly see the sulfur steam constantly coming out of the mountain pit. They rise in wisps, like the mysterious breath of nature, adding a mysterious and primitive atmosphere to this mountain range.

The cable car's windows were open, allowing outside air to circulate freely, but this also allowed the distinctive pungent smell of sulfur vapor to flow directly into the cabin.

Takahashi Liyi: "It stinks!"

Ueda Reina: "Then just bear with it."

Ishikawa Kaito: "Is it okay to just let the sulfur gas out?"

Uehara Toru: "It's toxic and flammable. Inhaling it can cause damage to the body, but it's not a big problem to come and visit like this."

Mizuno Qi turned around, and her eyes were attracted by the steam rising slowly in the valley. Under the sunlight, the steam was like a dreamy veil, lingering in the mountains, forming a picturesque natural scenery.

"That's why Hakone's hot springs are so famous," she exclaimed.

Uehara Toru smiled and said, "The private baths in your rooms tonight are all sulfur hot springs, which are very good for your body."

"I'd better forget it. 6,000 yen an hour is too much for me. Toru, come with me to the big bathhouse." Ishikawa Kaito recommended.

When Mizuno Qi heard this, his ears immediately pricked up.

Uehara Toru nodded: "Sure."

If that's the case, wouldn't it be better if I ran into them by chance in the bathhouse?

But Ishikawa-san is not the kind of person who would cooperate...

Forget it.

Mizuno Inori knew that she couldn't rush, and she would be satisfied if this trip could bring her and Uehara Toru closer together and make them better friends.

After getting off the cable car, they could see a rest stop with the words "Black Eggs" written in large letters on the sign.

"What are black eggs?" Takahashi Li Yi was the one who asked the easiest question among them because she really didn't know and didn't care about her face.

Uehara Toru smiled and said, "It's just local specialties. In order to make tourism more unique, each place will have some special foods that can only be made in the local area."

"Black eggs have black shells, and the yolk is said to be sweeter than normal eggs. You'll know when you try it later."

"Why do I feel like you, Lord Uehara, know everything?" Takahashi Rie sighed.

"But it's better this way. I never like to use my brain when I go out to play. I will leave the next three days' itinerary to you without any worries."

"As long as you don't sell me out, anything is fine."

Uehara Toru listened to her casual words and complained: "Am I a human trafficker?"

Ueda Reina suggested, "If we sell it, Toru-kun can split the profits with us 50-50."

"Hey, Reina, are you going to sell me out?"

"Yes, there must be someone who likes a delicate girl like you."

"How scary!~" The two of them teased each other, and their crisp laughter attracted a crowd of onlookers.

Mizuno Inori keenly noticed the way Ueda Rena addressed Uehara Toru.

"Tetsu-kun..."

3hiss...

3When did it start?

Isn't she just a passerby?

Why did Wu act so indifferent?

But it’s true, I’m not the only woman who’s good at pretending.

……

Black eggs, 500 yen for four.

There were five of them, so they bought eight.

There is a free seating platform behind the stall selling black eggs. There is also hot water for foot soaking. You can eat while soaking your feet and enjoy the scenery of Soun Mountain.

In the mountains in autumn, the leaves begin to change color, especially the red maple leaves. Under the sunlight, they are like burning flames, covering the mountains and forests with a layer of colorful colors.

Mizuno Inori was still able to sit next to Uehara Toru as she wished. She was on the left, and on the right was Takahashi Rie. Ueda Rena, on the other hand, sat next to Ishikawa Kaito.

Mizuno Qi couldn't help but feel confused, and her vigilance towards her dropped again, just like riding a roller coaster.

So the name doesn't mean anything, it's just a good relationship?

At this time, Toru Uehara had already taken out the lunch boxes he had prepared this morning and distributed them to everyone. The lunch boxes and the black eggs here constituted their lunch.

"Wow, Toru, you can just sell the bento you made, right?" It was the first time that Kaito Ishikawa ate his friend's bento, and he couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement.

Mizuno Inori added: "You can't buy such delicious and healthy bento outside."

Uehara Toru smiled and said, "Okay, eat it. Also, you can sprinkle salt on the black eggs. Let's try it."

Takahashi Liyi tilted her head and said, "Sprinkle salt, Lord Uehara, give me some."

Uehara Toru looked at her and said, "Take a bite first."

"Ham."

Takahashi Rie deliberately made a cute sound, but no one here found it out of place as they had all gradually gotten used to her flamboyant style of doing things.

"It's okay." Uehara took the salt bag and sprinkled a little bit on her.

Search group: 4) }—∥濡】｝Wu Gaoqiao Li Yi then showed off again.

After eating everything, she said with emotion: "Why do I feel that the salt tastes better? It has nothing to do with the eggs, right?"

Uehara Toru smiled and said, "Indeed."

"Mizuno-san, do you want some too?"

"Ah, yeah, thank you Uehara-kun."

Xiao Shui secretly began to change the way she addressed Uehara Toru, and used this to observe his reaction.

Toru Uehara had no reaction. He didn't feel any difference between the words "Jun", "Senpai", "San", etc.

Seeing this, Ishikawa Kaito sprinkled some on himself, then looked at Ueda Reina beside him and asked, "Ueda-san, do you want some?"

Ueda Reina just smiled and declined.

Ishikawa Kaito felt inexplicably hurt.

Because he knew that if the person who said this was Toru Uehara, he would definitely not be rejected.

Damn it, just because you’re handsome, does that mean you can do whatever you want?

-

After eating their lunch boxes, everyone walked back to the cable car platform and took the cable car to the next stop.

Taoyuan Station.

And over there is Lake Ashi.

As soon as they arrived at the station, Toru Uehara found that they seemed to be able to catch the sightseeing cruise, so he urged everyone to hurry up.

When the boat was finally declared full, five people successfully entered.

"What an extreme!" Takahashi Li Yi said in surprise.

She took Reina Ueda's hand and walked to the deck, then took out her cell phone with a smile.

"Let's take a picture, Reina."

"Okay~" Ueda Reina responded gently.

This time they were traveling as real friends and had more relaxing time than anyone else.

Ishikawa Kaito leaned leisurely against the side of the boat, his mobile phone pointed at the lake, capturing the sparkling freshwater lake. The breeze blew gently on the lake, creating ripples, and the sunlight sprinkled on the water, like a layer of gold powder, flashing a dazzling light.

"Tetsu, look at those boats over there, are they fishing?" Ishikawa Kaito excitedly pointed at several cruise ships docked on the mountainside in the camera. The boats seemed to be stationary and the people on the boats seemed to be concentrating on fishing.

Uehara Toru looked in the direction that Ishikawa Kaito pointed, took a glance, and confirmed: "It seems so. This is indeed a good place for fishing."

When Ishikawa Kaito heard this, his eyes lit up and his excitement was beyond words: "How about we do it at night..." Before he finished his words, he felt a cold gaze, and when he looked up, he saw Xiaoshui staring at him with a death stare. He immediately realized something and quickly swallowed the rest of his words.

Uehara Toru looked at the lake, a smile appeared on his lips, and he suggested, "Let's go tomorrow. There is a special dinner at the hotel tonight, and we can't miss it. We can come here to fish tomorrow afternoon, and then we can borrow equipment."

"Can I come along then?" asked Mizuno Qi.

Uehara Toru nodded: "Of course you can, as long as you are interested."

Ishikawa Kaito is not a fool. At this moment, he is completely sure of it.

Mizuno Inori likes Uehara Toru.

Che, you are so lucky...

Mizuno Inori leaned gently against the side of the boat, feeling the breeze from the lake with Uehara Toru. The wind blew gently, occasionally bringing a few wisps of naughty wind, blowing her hair slightly messy. She gently held down her flying hair with one hand, and the other hand firmly supported the side of the boat to maintain balance.

Mizuno Inori naturally started the conversation by talking about the violin she was learning recently. Her voice rippled gently with the ripples on the lake, with a hint of excitement and novelty.

When Toru Uehara heard what Mizuno Inori said, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that Mizuno Inori would suddenly become interested in learning the violin.

However, her explanation was soon heard.

"Although I don't need to perform in the next three months, I will still be on tour next year, and I also want to show a different side of myself in front of my fans."

2. "I want to learn piano and the like, but I don't think it's that amazing. The violin is definitely the most amazing stage instrument, right?"

Uehara Toru smiled and said: "When mentioning the violin, many people will have several associated words."

"Elegant, noble, and mysterious."

"If you think of it as the most amazing musical instrument on stage, that's fine too."

"But the violin is difficult. You have to work hard on it."

Mizuno Qi was delighted when she heard him taking over her topic.

"Well, I will definitely study hard. But, Uehara-kun, why do you want to practice the violin?"

"Interest, pure interest."

"When doing something other than work, people may be more willing to find their true selves," Toru Uehara said softly.

"Mizuno-san."

"Ok?"
