Social phobia and lonely rock

"Ok."

...

After Hongxia changed her clothes and left the bedroom, she saw Ishikawa Hayabusa standing in the living room holding a steaming towel.

He stood straight and upright like a servant, and on the dining table next to him, there was a mouthwash cup filled with water, a toothbrush with toothpaste squeezed out, and an exquisite incubator next to it.

That should be her breakfast.

Falcon really loves to play...

Hongxia turned her gaze to Ishikawa Hayabusa again.

"Come and wipe your face." Ishikawa Hayabusa said as he walked over with a towel.

Hong Xia was amused and waved her hand: "Stop it, Hayabusa-kun. I can do it myself."

Ishikawa Hayabusa handed over the towel honestly.

Hongxia took the slightly hot towel and wiped her face. The slightly higher temperature made her feel very comfortable and her brain became a little clearer.

After wiping her face, Hongxia looked back at the situation in the bedroom next door and asked Ishikawa Hayabusa.

"Where's everyone?"

"They said they wanted to enjoy the open-air bath before it was cleaned and replaced," said Ishikawa Hayabusa.

The hotel's open-air hot spring is cleaned in the afternoon and is not reopened until 3pm.

"Really."

Hongxia felt it was novel that several people made room for her, but her thoughts gradually became more profound.

After all, today is...

Hongxia had only thought halfway through her thoughts when Ishikawa Hayabusa picked up the toothbrush and walked around behind her.

Ishikawa Hayabusa reminded her lovingly.

"Ah~"

Hongxia looked down at the toothbrush in front of her. She felt like she couldn't open her mouth at all, so she turned her head away shyly and screamed.

"I can do it myself!"

She shouted and looked up at Ishikawa Hayabusa, and seeing him grinning, she shouted again.

"Don't tease me with an apology, really!"

After washing up, Hongxia ate breakfast under the gaze of Ishikawa Hayabusa, but she was not shy about it, after all, it had happened countless times.

only...

Hong Xia said while taking small bites of her meal, "I feel a little uncomfortable with Hayabusa watching me while I eat."

Ishikawa Hayabusa supported his chin with both hands, still looking at her intently.

"After all, we don't usually eat together, so Hongxia will just watch me eat."

Hong Xia paused while holding the chopsticks: "It feels like a long time."

"Ah."

Ishikawa Hayabusa nodded and then abruptly changed the subject.

"It's nine o'clock now. Let's visit the five hells first, then go to the Hell Steam Workshop to have lunch and then visit the remaining two. They are all very close."

He suddenly stopped talking.

Hong Xia looked up at him: "What's wrong?"

Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled.

"The rest is confidential for now."

"You haven't thought about it, right?" Hong Xia said with a wicked smile.

"It's possible." Ishikawa Hayabusa replied.

Hong Xia snorted and laughed, totally unconvinced.

...

On the top of the hotel, in the hot spring pool surrounded by strange rocks, three girls gathered in a corner and discussed in a low voice.

There were not many people in the hot spring. In this hotel where each room has a private hot spring, not many people come here in the winter morning.

Most of the people here this morning were older women who were used to soaking in such a large hot spring.

As for the three of them, since Ishikawa Hayabusa and Nijixia were not there, Liang became the center of the team, with Ichiri and Yudai sitting on both sides of her.

"Hey, do you really want to go? It might be a bit bad."

As Yu Dai said this, his face showed an excited look as if he was saying, "I really want to go, please convince me quickly."

Liang had already decided to follow Ishikawa Hayabusa and Nijixia's date, and on the day of the action, she brought up the matter again.

Liang was too lazy to convince anyone.

Soaking in the hot spring, Liang only had her head exposed. She ignored Yudai and spoke while thinking about the plan of following.

"Hongxia will definitely take Falcon down the mountain by bus. Falcon will probably listen to him. In that case, we can just call a taxi and follow behind..."

When Yili heard that he was following a taxi, he stopped looking at the distant scenery, became interested, and asked nervously.

"Have you decided to go, Liang-san?"

"Ah."

Liang nodded.

Yili lowered his head and stirred the water, looking at the ripples on the water. He quickly made a decision and looked up and said.

"Then...can I go too?"

"Of course, you pay for the taxi fare." Liang said indifferently.

"Eh?!" Yili was stunned and asked hurriedly: "How much does it cost..."

"I don't know." Liang felt uncomfortable with the water pressure on his chest and sat up again:

"Anyway, didn't Falcon issue the play funds?"

"Wasn't that money returned by Senior Hongxia?!" Yu Dai exclaimed in surprise.

"I went to get it from him again." Liang said as a matter of course.

"Then... shouldn't you, Liang-san, come out?"

Ichiri retorted.

Liang closed his mouth and stared at Yili quietly with a strong gaze. Although Yili was weak, he did not avoid his gaze.

After a while, Liang relaxed.

"Okay." She paused, "Just soak for a few more seconds and then we'll go."

"Yeah." Yili nodded.

After the two of them made their quick decision, Yudai was left alone, looking around nervously.

A few seconds passed, and when Yili and Liang left one after another with bath towels covering their chests, Yudai was completely panicked and she screamed in tears.

"Hey hey hey! You're not going to abandon me, are you?"

Yili stopped in surprise, looked at her, and then looked at Liang.

Ryo glanced back.

"Come along if you want."

Yudai then smiled, holding a bath towel to cover her chest from the hot spring, and got up. She quickly walked to Liang's side and took her arm like a good sister.

Liang looked helpless, but followed her lead.

...

Yufu City is made up of three towns, and the hotel where Xingge and the Ishikawa family stayed is located in Yufuin Town.

Unlike Hongxia who stayed in bed for special reasons, the two teams here got up early today.

Walking on the busy streets of Yufuin, Ishikawa Jinpei had a big, flamboyant smile on his face because he felt comfortable.

"You little brat really knows how to enjoy life. You're willing to spend more money to have such a comfortable experience."

Xiang took the Yufuin chocolate pudding that he had just bought on the street and ate it in small bites with a small spoon.

"I also thought my brother was an ascetic. It seems that he was just pretending to be so intimidating when he refused to go wherever we asked him to go."

"Don't talk about your brother like that," Ishikawa Shizuka dissuaded her, but her eyes were moving around the surrounding buildings and the people wearing cosplay costumes.

"The atmosphere of the streets here is completely different from that of Tokyo. Is there any kind of celebration going on?"

The three of them were different from Ishikawa Hayabusa and his group. They set out earlier and arrived earlier. They had already played here yesterday afternoon.

But we only visited two attractions, Kinrin Lake and Fairy Tale Town, where we visited the European and American fairy-tale-style rural buildings decorated in the style of Hayao Miyazaki's anime.

The unique houses and various cute decorations gave Xiang many surprises.

Only then did they go to Kinrin Lake again. Under the sunset, Kinrin Lake allowed them to see what sparkling waves looked like, and they also visited the shrine by the way.

Ishikawa Jinpei checked on his cell phone.

"There's no celebration. It should just be some kind of commercial activity. After all, it's the peak tourist season now."

"Really? Then let's go see if there's anything delicious...funny!"

Xiang immediately pulled her mother forward, ready to use her mother's supreme status to threaten the princes.

This trick is usually very useful, but it suddenly didn't work today.

Ishikawa Jinbe didn't keep up, and Ishikawa Shizuka was pulled two steps and suddenly stopped.

"If Xiang wants to go, go by yourself. We can't play with you today." Ishikawa Jinbe said seriously as if he was busy with business.

"Huh?" Xiang thought about it and immediately had the answer in his mind, and a teasing smile quickly appeared on his face.

"If you want to spend some time alone together, why don't you just say so earlier? I won't bother you any more."

As she spoke, she still held the pudding bottle in her hand, and with a smirk on her face, she backed away with her body bent, like an ancient maid.

Ishikawa Jinpei glanced at Ishikawa Shizuka and said.

"certainly not!"

Ishikawa Shizuka's eyes stayed on Xiang, and when she noticed that Xiang was about to bump into someone if she stepped back, she pulled her down in dissatisfaction.

Only then did Ishikawa Jinpei look at Xiang and said with a sinister smile.

"Aren't you curious about what kind of Shura field your brother is in right now?"

Xiang was pulled to a stop, looked up at the clear sky and thought: "I don't think so..."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly came back to her senses, looked at Ishikawa Jinpei in shock and asked, "Dad, what do you mean...? Did you plan this from the beginning?"

Ishikawa Jinpei said with a proud smile similar to that of Ishikawa Hayabusa: "It is not appropriate to meet my daughter-in-law at this time, but it will definitely be okay for us to go and see her privately. As the saying goes, if the mountain does not come to see me, I will go to see the mountain myself."

Shizawa Shizuka looked at her husband and smiled helplessly: "I don't know who learned this from the other."

Ishikawa Jinpei immediately became unconvinced.

"Of course the brat learned from me. How can a father learn from a brat?"

Ishikawa Jing smiled lightly and did not argue.

Xiang had no interest in this, she just wanted to see how her brother got along with his sisters-in-law in private.

"Oh, no matter if it's Dad learning from his brother or his brother learning from Dad, Dad, you're smart for a while. Hurry up and go over there. It takes more than an hour to get there by train."

"I have already made a plan. There's no need to rush. It takes less than an hour to get there from Mount Yufu by bus. The earliest bus takes more than ten minutes. Now I can just go to the foot bath next to the station and wait." said Jinpei Ishikawa.

Yufu City and Beppu City are separated by two mountains, Yufudake and Tsurumidake.

The speed of going around the mountain and going straight through the mountain is definitely different.

"Then hurry over there too."

Xiang said with great interest.
