Traveling through the world of the book, but there seem to be too many heroines

She was a girl with short hair, a very determined look and dark skin. She looked like the main player of the high school basketball team. She was taller than herself, probably almost 1.9 meters.

"He was admitted to university before, but he didn't go. He said he wanted to stay here to help others. That's perfect. We can entrust the hotel to that kid."

"Where are you going, Madam? Do you have a destination or something you want to do..."

"I do not know."

The widowed proprietress's soft sigh suddenly made Chen Ran feel very familiar.

realized.

The current condition of the beautiful woman in front of him is actually very similar to that of Jiang Ruohua before.

After working hard for more than ten or twenty years and devoting my whole heart to work, suddenly, it seems that I can have some free time, but I feel a little overwhelmed.

at this point.

It was most obvious when I first arrived at the Jiang family.

When I first moved into the Jiang family, everything in the house seemed to be in order.

Mother Jiang Ruohua has to go to the convenience store every day and does not give herself a day off. She works almost from morning to night. After the store closes at night, she has to rush back home to take care of her two lovely "daughters".

It's quite hard.

At that time, Chen Ran felt that Jiang Ruohua was extremely hard-working just by looking at her busy from morning to night every day.

That's why he was discussing this with Jiang Zilin and Jiang Lengleng behind his back.

Let mother Jiang Ruohua go out alone to travel and relax.

But right now, Mrs. Tsubaki seems a little different.

The widowed proprietress seemed a little confused. She didn't seem to know what to do in the future if she didn't continue to run the hot spring hotel.

But what if we continue to operate?

Chen Ran could somewhat understand Mrs. Chunri's thoughts at the moment.

"It's important to give the hotel to young children, right? If you don't give it to them now, you still have to give it to them ten or twenty years later."

"That's why I was thinking, it's just right, I'm not too old now, I can walk by myself, I don't need anyone to take care of me, and I don't have to be picky about food."

"Go and try a new life for a while?"

“There’s nothing much to do though.”

Chen Ran didn't understand why Madam Chunri wanted to tell him all this. Maybe it was because some things were difficult to say to the girls working in the hotel. The guests were also girls...

"Little Chen Ran is quite special~"

"Eh? I'm special?"

Chen Ran didn't understand.

"Yes, it seems that little Chen Ran is very good at making girls happy."

"???"

Yes!

But speaking of it, Chen Ran also felt that Madam Chunri could go for a walk first.

"Don't have any purpose, just go out and walk around, go to places you've never been to..."

Just like Jiang Ruohua before.

"But it would be boring if I were alone."

The mature widowed proprietress blinked her eyes, and before he could react, she suddenly came close to him quietly, and then whispered in his ear.

"How about we go together, like... a honeymoon trip?"

Chapter 83: How about the fox?

"???"

Looking at Madam Chunri's trembling, charming little face and her pair of deep purple trembling eyes, Chen Ran knew that this guy was making fun of him again!

The night wind blew gently, and before they knew it, the two of them had walked a long distance out of the hot spring hotel.

At this moment.

Mrs. Tsubaki suddenly stopped, then turned around naturally, as if she was going to go back.

“In the past, no matter how far we went, we always had to go back.”

Saying meaningful words.

Chen Ran was slightly stunned, and of course immediately followed the widowed proprietress.

Mrs. Tsubaki was still wearing a loose kimono, but it was now aqua green and embroidered with a pattern that looked like lotus flowers.

The two stopped talking after that.

It was as if I hadn't said anything just now.

He walked back in silence, but because he was following Mrs. Tsubaki's footsteps and walking a little behind, he always felt that the widowed proprietress in front of him was walking much slower.

It doesn't matter.

On this cold winter night, it would be nice to walk a little longer.

In fact, Chen Ran often does this these days, going out for a walk with Mrs. Chunri. Sometimes it's just herself, and sometimes Miss Rinko and Sister Lengleng, including her mother Jiang Ruohua and Sister Xiaolin, will also be there.

The women would talk about random topics.

Most of them are things from the past.

Jiang Ruohua often talked about the hardships she had when she was a worker, the interesting stories of Xiaolin and Lengleng when they were young, and the changes she had experienced since she came to the family...

When her mother Jiang Ruohua said this, Chen Ran could occasionally feel a kind of envy and desire in Madam Chunri's deep purple eyes.

This is nothing special.

Everyone yearns for a happy and harmonious family, right?

When they were talking, it was usually three beautiful older women who were speaking.

That is, Mrs. Tsubakihi, Jiang Ruohua, and Miss Rinko.

I walked behind with Sister Lengleng and Sister Xiaolin. Usually, I held Sister Lengleng's hand while carrying Sister Xiaolin, the otaku who was unable to walk, on my back.

Sister Xiaolin would occasionally join in on the conversation among the beautiful ladies.

Mostly just asking some questions.

Chen Ran, on the other hand, was with Sister Leng Leng, listening quietly most of the time.

usually.

The topic of beautiful women will last a long time.

After Jiang Ruohua finished speaking.

Miss Rinko would continue the topic and talk about the time when she worked here. At that time, Mrs. Tsubaki was still young, and she was serious and taught Miss Rinko how to work very seriously.

From time to time, even though she couldn't understand it, she would still read the book that Ms. Rinko gave her.

When I come across a word I don’t know, I look it up in the dictionary.

Mrs. Tsubaki also never went to school.

Chen Ran still remembered that Madam Chunri had talked about her childhood. She was picked up by the old man named Songshan. It was probably when they were very poor.

Old man Songshan, the patriarch of a large local family, sees Mrs. Tsubaki and a little girl living alone.

Cold and hungry.

So he brought her home under the pretext of asking for a child bride for his youngest son.

"He was also a man who said one thing and meant another. He always looked fierce, stubborn, and harsh, but now that I think about it, he was doing good things at the time."

Mrs. Tsubaki said.

The youngest son of the Songshan family was seriously ill. He could not get out of bed, ate very little, and could not speak.

Mrs. Tsubaki said that although she was a child bride, she had never met her even once.

So it was later confirmed that old man Songshan probably just found a random excuse to bring her into Songshan's house and gave her something to eat.

That was a rare thing in the past.

Including when the youngest son died and the Matsuyama family was about to leave, the old man had a cold face and directly threw the house deed and land deed of the old house to Mrs. Tsubakiri.

"You are not a member of our family. It's up to you whether you stay here or go anywhere else."

Mrs. Tsubaki imitated old man Matsuyama's stern face and spoke in a serious voice, then shook her head.

"Then he left."

"I don't understand the thoughts of such old men, but as I get older, I can understand them a little bit more."

Chen Ran felt that there might be something common here.

It's like Mrs. Tsubaki opened a hot spring hotel and started helping these girls who were left behind and out of school in the countryside.

At first, I just felt sorry for them, so I helped them.

Give a job, food, clothes and a place to sleep.

after that.

We will think of ways for their future, teach them to study, encourage them to go to college, and go to further places.

It seems to be a very common thing to say.

But there is indeed something special in it, which is probably the reason why Mrs. Chunri and Jiang Ruohua get along so well.

Think about it.

The girls who work in the hotel probably also think of Mrs. Tsubaki as their "mother".

Chen Ran remembered what happened after the Truth Church incident.

The old man Songshan who was "freed from brainwashing" seemed to have left quietly and alone. Just as Mrs. Tsubaki said, it was completely impossible to understand the thoughts of such a serious old man.

Probably.

What’s past is past, right?

Chen Ran and Madam Chunri walked slowly in the mountains, step by step, but no matter how slow they were, they would eventually return to the inn.

On a dim snowy night, the hot spring hotel illuminated by the orange street lights is about to appear before our eyes.

Chen Ran suddenly heard Madam Chunri ask him if he was afraid of monsters.

"Are you afraid of monsters?"

Mrs. Chunri, who hadn't said much on the way back, suddenly asked him such a question, which made Chen Ran a little confused.

"The monster has a terrible curse. Isn't Chen Ran afraid?"

"Well, I'm not afraid."

Shake his head.

Chen Ran had seen in the previous book "Book of Curses" that many terrible curses were related to monsters, but so what.

The monsters I know wouldn't be like that.

For example, Miss Rinko, Mrs. Tsubakihi, and those fox fairies.

"Yeah, now I feel relieved~"

"Eh?"

"Actually, monsters are pretty good too, for example, Rinko and her fellow snow girls always look cool and cold, which is very different from ordinary girls~"

"really……"

Chen Ran nodded subconsciously.

Miss Rinko's body is indeed very different from that of an ordinary girl, and also very different from Ayaka.

But what are you worried about? !
