In Kyushu, Oita has a mild climate, and the natural climate has produced many special products from Oita. Perhaps the most important feature of Oita is the abundance of hot springs.

The magma underneath has created new volcanoes such as Tsurumi, Yufu, and Kuju that run through the central part of Oita Prefecture from east to west, and has also formed neon representative hot spring resorts in Beppu, Yufuin, and Kuzui.

When he was away from home temporarily, Takuhisa finally chose to go to the hot springs.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we've been to a hot spring together. ”

At this time, Takujiu couldn't help but sigh.

As a native of Oita, and his family background is not bad, he must have been to the hot springs that Oita is famous all over the country, but it was also a few years ago, and now the two of them go again, and it is not bad.

"Mom and Dad won't be following me this time. ”

Pointing to Hara Rino followed faintly in the back.

"Yes. ”

At the back of the bus, Takuhisa hugged Rina Fingerhara and said that during the Chinese New Year, there were only the two of them and the driver in this bus.

Shadows clouded his face, as well as Rino Tsushihara's body leaning against him.

Beppu.

Among the geothermal resources of Oita, the most famous hot spring area is Beppu.

When it comes to hot springs, the first thing that comes to mind is the hot springs of Izu and Hakone, but beyond these two, Beppu is not less famous.

"Hello, Mr. Zhihara. ”

The receptionist was already waiting at the door, waiting for Takuhisa and Rino Shihara to arrive. The door to the hotel is quite quiet, and there is no sign of people coming and going.

This type of wooden inn is open during the New Year, and if it opens on the New Year, there will be a lot of people queuing up to enter.

After all, it's the time of the New Year's break, and the crowds can't be said, and it should be no problem to fill the entire hotel.

In order to prevent this from happening, Takuhisa also rarely rented all the seats in this hotel for two days, so there will be a rather deserted scene.

A sign announcing the closure of business was also put up.

Thanks to the fact that Takuhisa and the owner of the inn are also in contact, the boss agrees to make up enough compensation for the promise.

The entrance was a mist that lingered and drifted out, and the road ahead was confused, and if you could see through the fog, you might be able to guess the mystery.

The inn is built against the mountains, and smoke rises from the rooftops, dwarfing the turquoise mountains.

In ancient times, people could not get close to Oita Prefecture because of the fog that erupted here, and they were quite scruples about this place, and word of mouth passed it on, and the hot springs here were called Beppu Hell. When you look at it now, it's actually quite vivid.

In the smoke, it doesn't look like a passage to hell.

Smelling the smell of sulfur mixed with the salty air of the sea not far away, Takuhisa thought to himself.

The New Year's holiday is also not long, and a two-day stay is enough.

The receptionist arranged a room for the two of them to live in, which was a Japanese-style tatami mat.

"Let's go to the hot springs. ”

Takuhisa, who had been sitting in the tatami mat for a while, said that when they all came here, the first thing they did was to soak in the hot springs.

"Hmm. ”

Rino Kashihara nodded, and for some reason, her face was a little blushing.

There are a lot of preparations to be made before soaking in the hot springs.

After washing in the bathroom first, Takuhisa gradually walked into the hot spring, and the hot spring water directly covered half of his naked body, which made him a little sour leaning on the stone steps.

Once you get used to it, the burning heat gradually disappears, and you exhale, and you can fly into the blue sky with the white breath of the hot spring.

There are many ways to soak in hot springs in modern times, and many people like to take a cigarette while soaking, but Takuhisa doesn't like this way, he still prefers the way to be close to nature, enjoying the cool breeze, his body is warm, and there are people next to him to enjoy the evening scenery together.

Just as she was thinking like this, the door opened, and Rino Shihara also stepped out on wooden shoes, only a white bath towel was draped over her body, a large area of whiteness was exposed, and her hair was still a little wet, and she gradually walked to Takuhisa's side.

It's easy for her to show up here.

This is a hot spring inn with mixed bathing, which is why Takuhisa will charter this place for two days.

Although in modern times, it is very unlikely that you will see young men and women bathing together, and most of the old ladies who have passed the age of confusion will soak in the hot springs in the mixed bathing inns, but in order to prevent accidents, it is better for the two of them.

This is also what Takuhisa and Rino Fingerhara want, as far as the two of them get along.

"It's a little slow. ”

Takuhisa, who was half-open, asked with a little sleepiness.

After soaking in a comfortable environment for a long time, fatigue is also very easy to come up.

"Did you wash yourself too quickly?" replied Rino Chihara in an impatient tone, and since it was a daily routine, Takuhisa didn't mind, "Shall I come down?" she asked.

"Well, there's no one here either, so don't mind me too much. ”

"It's because you're the only one here who has to mind. Rino Tsuhara said speechlessly, but after all, she still took off the bath towel and stretched out her feet and slowly walked into the hot spring water.

"Wow!"

The hot water made her feel uncomfortable, but because she was a big score and had been here several times, she quickly adapted to the temperature.

If there's any difference, it's that the hot springs she went to in the past were all separate for men and women, and this time it's just him and Takuhisa, slightly... It's still a little weird.

Although the two of them were used to being alone when they were in Tokyo, it was the first time that they were in a hot spring.

"You don't have to be so red in that face even if it's a mixed bath, I'm not at the point where I'm going to do that kind of thing while I'm in a hot spring. Takuhisa smiled helplessly, he saw that Hara Rino had let go of his expression and was waiting for him, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

Those plots in the book,Although Takuhisa knows,But the idea of really putting it into practice,In this book,There shouldn't be any.,At least the text...

"Cut, cowardly!" she mocked Takuhisa with half-squinted eyes, leaned into Takuhisa's arms, and looked up at the night sky with Takuhisa.

In winter, the moon hangs high, the stars are everywhere, and the soft moonlight shines down, but it is also beautiful.

"If you say that now, don't blame me later, you're not enough. Takuhisa was not angry, and refuted Rino Shihara's taunt with simple words.

And it's also very effective.,After a shake in the face.,Pointing to the original Rino can only admit defeat.,Who told Takuhisa that what he said was indeed the truth.。

For now, she was always the first to rout.

Seeing that Rino Hara didn't speak, Takuhisa put a victor's smile on his lips and put his right hand on her shoulder.

The two of them breathed in the breath of nature in the quiet sound of the spring flowing.

"Rino, when you get back, let's call my mother. Takuhisa suddenly spoke, "Let's apologize to her." ”

"Why?" didn't get angry, and asked Rina Hara quietly.

"Do you wish you really hadn't had any more contact with her?"

“...”

There was no reply, but Rino Fingerhara, who was close at hand, had a slight tremor in her body, which was discovered by Takuhisa who was touching her skin, and Takuhisa knew it in her heart.

She still cares a lot about the falling out.

"Listen to me, my mother's words, even if she doesn't agree, as long as you insist, she will definitely not stop her, she is a woman who respects the wishes of her children. Do you agree with this?" The first half of the sentence meant that Hara Rino also nodded in agreement, and Takuhisa paused and then said the second half of the sentence, "But the two of us, her attitude is actually not an opposition without reversal, don't you notice?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's just that I can't pull my face down. Takuhisa said this, and shook the water.

Half of his left hand was immersed in the water, and the feeling of half cold and half hot appeared in the palm of his hand.

"Do you want me to apologize?"

The clever Rino Fingerhara quickly guessed what Takuhisa meant.

"Yes, I talked to her on the phone, and although the words were not good, she was still patiently talking to me. Tuojiu couldn't help but think of Fang Cai's mother's cynicism at him on the phone, and he had a toothache, "It can be seen that her attitude is not so resolute, as long as you take the initiative to admit your mistake, it doesn't matter." ”

"That's right. After a few days, Rino Zhiyuan's anger had long since subsided, "But I'll still refuse." ”

"Why?"

This time it was Takuhisa's turn to be puzzled.

"There are some things you don't understand, it's a war between me and my mother, and one of the two sides has to throw in first. Referring to the two words of war, Rino emphasized in particular, "What you said is indeed a good way to be soft, but I must refuse, I will not admit defeat to my mother." ”

Obviously, it can be solved by convincing softly, but in some cases, it is still necessary to fight for a victory, so it is impossible to fully understand between people, and Takujiu may not understand this point.

"Don't mention that. Referring to the original Rinai, she didn't want to say more on this point, "My mother and I will solve this matter by ourselves, brother, you don't care, let's talk about other things." ”

Since she didn't want to talk about it, Takujiu didn't talk about it anymore, raised her eyebrows, and asked.

"What are you going to say?"

"Brother, how are you planning at the moment, I want to hear your thoughts. When she said this, Tohara rested her head on Takuhisa's chest, as if this position would allow her to hear Takuhisa's heartbeat.

"What do you mean by ?... for the future?"

"What else, you should know what I'm talking about, right?"

Takuhisa is also like a mirror, and he understands what he was meant to say, but he didn't say it positively.

"How do you want to solve the problem, even if I can marry you, will you marry me?" lowered his head and could see that the head was coiled by the finger original, and the scent of shower gel on it pounced on his nose.

"If I don't marry you, who else can I marry?"

"What about Toda-san?" Rino Hara said directly, "I can understand that the relationship between you and her is more like a play, so I won't be counted." So Sister Toda, who has been with you since the beginning, how are you going to solve it?"

"Did she tell you something?" Takuhisa's voice was slightly cold.

"Not at all, what do you want to do with Sister Toda, please answer me positively, brother. ”

Rino Tsuhara shook her head and lied, and her face was not red, in fact, Erika Toda had long known that Takuhisa had found other women behind her back.

"I'm having a headache, you said this question. Takuhisa said, in a tired voice, "I've been running away from this question, because for now, there is only one solution I know, but I don't know if she will agree to accept it." ”

"Have you thought of any way?"

"I'm going to change the nationality of the Central (Eastern) region, so that I have the right to marry many wives in the legal sense, but in this case, she, or will you accept it?"

"No, it won't. Remembering Erika Toda's character, Rino Torihara shook her head violently.

Kindness is big on the surface, but it is delicate in the mainland.

Nothing can deny the despicability of such acts.

"That's right, it's too hard for you to say this, no matter who you are, you won't agree to it. Takuhisa said, "Then things are back to the point where there is no solution, and I don't know how to confess to her." ”

"Let's go confess first...", referring to Rino Hara's advice to Takuhisa, "In any case, concealment is an act of hurting Toda-san, and if you confess early, whether she can forgive you or not, you will be able to make Toda-san suffer less harm." ”

"That's the truth, but..."Takuhisa wanted to say something, and then gave up, and could only come out with a sentence: "Rinai, you have a really good relationship with Megumi Rika." ”

"Of course, my relationship with Toda-san is much better than you think, she is like my sister. Rino Tsuhara said sweetly, "So I don't want her to be hurt." ”

"Hmm... I mean—" Takuhisa pondered the next words, "What would you do if I chose Elika?"

"What can I do?"

Rino Shihara whispered this, and finally licked Takuhisa's chest with her tongue, and laughed as if relieved.

"If I'm a little wronged, it doesn't matter. ”

I showed my attitude.

But Takuhisa was a little surprised, and there was heartache.

All of this is indeed his mistake, if there is only one person in his heart, nothing will happen, and there is no need to let Rinai Zhihara take the initiative to back down.

"Rinai, I..."

Takuhisa stopped talking, hugging her delicate and boneless body, and the waves of water soaked on her skin.

"Don't say it. ”

"I'm sorry. ”

Even though Rina Torihara asked Takuhisa not to say more, Takuha still said sorry, thinking about Rina Hara's attitude towards him finding another woman at the beginning, and then thinking about her words now.

What a transformation this has been...
