Chapter 2: First arrival in Karuizawa
When the train slowly stopped at Saitama City Station, everyone decided to have their lunch early.
"Reina-chan, what did you just want!"
"Is it matsutake cauldron rice?
"I want moray eel beef rice, how about it, do you want to taste the taste of moray eel!"
"No, but thank you!"
Reina said as she politely rejected Fumiki's kindness. After all, she didn't want to exchange the food with the man she had just met.
"Ernie sauce, what kind of bento did you just choose!"
"Sea urchin salmon roe, I didn't expect it to be sold, I thought I wouldn't be able to eat it!"
"Can you let me try it?"
"Oh, of course!"
Lin Xiuyi said as he picked up a small piece of rice ball with his chopsticks and gently placed it in Reina's Bendang box. Perhaps because it is eaten on the train, all the rice in the Bento box is divided into small rice balls that can be easily picked up with chopsticks and put in your mouth. The top of the rice ball is covered with sea urchin and salmon roe, and the surrounding area is wrapped in a layer of seaweed, so that you can eat the flavor of rice and nori in every bite, as well as sea urchin and salmon roe. In addition, even if you want to share it with others in the middle of eating, the Bendang box will not become a mess because it has been touched by chopsticks, which will make people lose their appetite.
Miki sat opposite Lin Xiuyi, and when she saw that their brother and sister had a good relationship, she couldn't help but feel a little moved. She saw an opportunity, opened her thermos pot to pour a cup of hot tea, and then handed it to Lin Xiuyi.
"Police, please have a cup of tea!"
"Thank you, Miki, by the way, why don't you try my Bento, the sea urchin and salmon roe are so good!"
"Huh, is that okay? Then you're welcome!"
Miki looked at the Bendang box handed over by Lin Xiuyi with some surprise, and then was a little embarrassed to gently pick up a small rice ball with chopsticks, and then took the rice ball with her hand, carefully put it into her mouth, and immediately showed a happy smile on her face.
"That...... Can I also taste the sea urchin salmon roe? I just asked for a crab meat bendang without thinking about it, and I didn't like it very much?"
Urashima saw that Lin Shuichi and Miki shared the food in the Bendang box, and couldn't help but want to taste the taste of sea urchin salmon roe rice.
"Sorry...... I still think it's weird to share a bento with a man on the train!"
Lin Xiu glanced at the passengers around him, and then lowered his business with some embarrassment and said apologetically to Pu Dao.
"Eh, Miki-senpai, did you just choose the roasted wheat bendang?"
"Hmm...... What are you doing? Don't beat me up!"
"But you just got a roasted wheat for the police department!"
"I'm sorry, I was just exchanging ingredients with the police department at that time!"
"That...... If you don't dislike it!"
"Don't ......"
……
An hour later, when the group walked out of Karuizawa Station with their luggage, they saw the tourist information center in Karuizawa Town. Seeing the bustling scene in front of the station, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but look forward to this trip a little more.
"Excuse me...... How to get to the East Branch of the Prince Hotel!"
"The Prince Hotel......? You seem to have come out of the opposite direction of the station. The Prince Hotel should be on the other side of the station!"
Lin Xiuyi casually stopped a passer-by and asked the other party for advice, the other party first looked them up and down, and then pointed to the location of the station and said to them:
"Do you see the mountain over there? This is the ski slope of the Prince Hotel, and at the foot of the mountain, directly across from this side, is the East Building of the Prince Hotel. You'll need to walk through the station and go through the shopping mall between the station and the hotel to get to where you're looking for......"
"Oh, that's right, thank you so much......"
When Lin Xiuyi asked the location of the hotel from passers-by, he noticed that the magnificent snow-capped mountain behind him was actually the ski resort that everyone had been looking forward to.
"Oh...... It's a sight to behold, so it's no wonder everyone loves to come here for skiing."
Reina stared at the snow-capped summit quietly, not noticing that the wire-like things leading to the summit were actually ski lifts. Watch the lift of the gondola meander from the top of the mountain to the base of the mountain in the direction of the ski resort. Reina couldn't help but look forward to the ski resort in front of her.
Now that the direction has been clarified. Everyone hurriedly dragged their luggage back to the station. Everyone followed the directions in the station and quickly walked out of the exit on the other side. As soon as they left the station, Lin Xiuyi and the others really found the bus to the Prince Hotel.
With the help of the hotel staff, everyone quickly put away their luggage and sat in the car. As the warm breeze in the car blows through, it gradually alleviates the numbness caused by the cold. Ling Nai leaned on Lin Xiuyi's shoulder like this, and soon fell asleep.
When the car with everyone gradually started along the road of the exit line, Lin Xiuyi looked at the seats on the car a little, and it could be seen that there were not many tourists in Karuizawa at this time. On the entire bus, except for Lin Xiuyi and others, who were more conspicuous, there were only a few middle-aged people who looked a little older and shared the bus.
When the car arrived at the lobby of the hotel, Lin Xiuyi and the others were quickly taken by the hotel staff to the 8-person wooden house suite they had booked before. It's a hotel, but it's actually a resort. Unlike the most towering hotel rooms in the heart of the city, the suites here are self-contained chalet villas. Living in it has a different charm.
"Ah...... It's so warm!"
When Lin Xiuyi and the others walked into their room, the heating in the room quickly warmed everyone's body. Everyone stood at the entrance and took off their shoes. He then stepped onto the floor in the living room and walked to the interior of the cabin.
"It seems like there are two separate suites! In that case, we can live separately for men and women at night!"
There are two suites with toilets and bathrooms, while a dining room and reception room are shared in between. Although the place is not big, it is definitely more than enough for five people to stay,
"Sister Miki, the room here seems to be facing the location of the ski resort, so let's live here together!"
"Great, Reina, it's just the right time to have a good chat with you in the evening. Please take care of it!"
"Please take care of me!"
……
"Police Department, it seems that the three of us men are going to be here at night, please take care of them!"
Urashima suddenly lowered his head and said to Lin Xiuyi and Wen Ji solemnly.
