Episode 14 People from Everywhere on the Eve of the Festival (Part I)
Notes: It rains because the sky can't bear its weight, and so does the expectation.
"It's so hot, why is it so hot today, the previous weather was not as hot as today, is it really because of different geographical locations and different cities, so it is so hot? I really can't stand it, Brother Sayou. ”
In one of the rooms in the booked hot spring inn, Sasuke, who was sleeping on a deck chair, heard the complaints of Nanachi Valley, who was staring at the built-in air conditioner in the room in a daze.
The air conditioner can be used, but the air conditioner in this room is broken, and the boss said that he will call someone to fix it tomorrow morning.
Since there are eleven people in total, it is also a bit problematic to allocate rooms, and the only male members are Sayou and Nanachi River Valley, so the two of them get a room.
Fortunately, Zuoyou booked a total of three rooms, one room for Zuoyou and Qiqi River Valley; The two younger sisters are in a room with Flower Bell and Miss Luozhi; Jiushi, Lin Xuan, Yi Ye, Bai Day, and Miss Alice in one room;
The rooms are all unified multi-person rooms, so this allocation does not reach the limit of six people, so that each person can have some space of their own.
Originally, many girls were envious of Sayou and Qiqi Valley for being able to live in a big room for two people, but after hearing the shopkeeper talk about the broken air conditioner, they all chose to give up, thinking that such a distribution was reasonable.
Sayou thought for a moment, looking out the window at the summer night, accompanied by the sound of cicadas and the distant sound of cars and the piano of a wandering singer, the hot breath had invaded the entire city.
"Mr. Kawatani, if you feel hot, then you should stay calm, as the so-called calm mind is naturally cool, as long as you calm down, it will not be so hot."
"Of course I know this, Brother Sayou, but even if I knew, I couldn't do it. My dorm was air-conditioned and not as hot as it was here, so I could easily spend every day, but this city is completely different......"
"I didn't think that Mr. Kawatani was the kind of person who wasn't very heat-resistant, but I thought Mr. Kawatani was a more versatile person."
Of course, this is just flattery, but there is also a certain reason for it, that is, the person in Qiqi River Valley does have a very strong ability, and he can understand what the other party is thinking, which is really impossible to relax.
"I'm really sorry to disappoint you, little brother Sayou. Since our air conditioner here is broken, do you want to go to other people's rooms to rest? Miss Alice, for example, must be very cool. ”
"No kidding, and we're just getting here, and everyone needs some rest, so it's a bit of a bad thing to bother. There are other ways to beat the heat, such as the vending machine on the first floor, which has canned cold beer that you can bring and drink. ”
"Oh-oh? Is that so? I'll get it now. So what about you, Brother Sayou? Aren't you hot? ”
"It's not that it's not hot, but I'm going to wait and take a shower, and the hot springs on summer nights are also very flavorful, so I can enjoy them. However, there is no season for soaking in hot springs. ”
Take a bath and soak in the hot springs to cool it down, at least that's what Sasuke thinks.
Qiqi Valley didn't say much. Instead, he stood up and walked towards the door, but he stopped on the way, turned to look at Sayou and said
"I'm very clear, little brother Sayou. There is actually no point for us people to come here, I will definitely not be able to help you this time, your purpose is actually aimed at the girl of Yu Yiye, right? I don't know why, but you should do your best. ”
"It's true that I asked everyone to come out and relax, of course I have my own purpose, did Mr. Kawarani know it from my sisters?"
"How to say it, it can be said that it can be said or not, after all, when you are doing something, Brother Zuoyou, you often unconsciously reveal a message from the people around you, that is, 'I have something to do', and at this time, who are you chatting with, most likely that person is the center of this incident."
Because you're very good at using language to deceive people, Qiqi Valley said, what about social engineering.
Standing up from the recliner with a little sweat on his forehead, Sayou looked out the window at the city with staggered lights, took a deep breath, and walked to his package.
You can put your clothes on when you go out, so you can take out the basic necessities of daily life, so you can take the yukata provided by the store now......
It was at this time that Sayu developed a sense of immediacy, which had appeared before, right? Everyone's accommodation......
Putting the memories of the past in the past, Sasuke picked up his clothes and walked towards the first floor.
There was a sign in the hallway telling the people staying at the hotel that the hot spring was there, the toilet was there, etc., and Sasuke followed the instructions and walked towards the hot spring.
It's close to the riverbank, it's a long way from the center of the city, and you can see the mountains that wrap around the city when you come here, so it's normal to have hot springs.
"Good evening."
"Good evening."
Passing by face-to-face with a couple, the two of them said hello to Sayou, who also responded with a smile, both of whom were wearing yukata robes and looked like they had just soaked.
It's like climbing a mountain, people going down the mountain and people going up the mountain will say hello to each other, and the other party will help each other when they are in trouble.
Etiquette will have different expressions in different countries, and this kind of thing rarely happens in the Celestial Empire, and in addition, the hug and kiss greetings in the United States will not exist.
Continuing along the corridor, there are transparent glass windows on the right, and the trees planted in the courtyard of the inn are very luxuriant, and the green leaves reflect the light of different colors in the light.
It didn't take long for Sasuke to see the entrance to the hot spring that appeared in his field of vision, and he could see that someone was coming in and out at the moment.
Came to the changing room and quickly took off my clothes and walked into the inside with a bath towel, first of all, there were a row of bath stools and shower heads, shampoo and shower gel were placed on the platform, and there was a water inlet next to each position.
There were about a dozen people inside, some soaking in the hot springs, others washing their bodies.
The number of people is not as large as expected, and I originally thought that because of the city's festivals, the number of tourists will skyrocket. But now it seems that it is not so exaggerated.
No, it should be said that the inn itself is not that big, so the number of guests that can be accommodated is also limited, right?
In this way, Sasuke thinks that this kind of small hotel is not bad, compared to those large hotels, such hotels are less crowded and quiet, and can be well served, not much worse than those large hotels.
After washing his body with body soap, he soaked in the hot spring, and several people nearby smiled and signaled, and Sayu nodded.
It is surrounded by a mixture of concrete and wooden walls. Overhead, there is no roof, and you can see the stars in the starry sky on a summer night and the moon hidden behind the clouds.
Sayou let out a breath, there has always been a problem with Sayou, that is, worrying about things going in unexpected places, which is also a problem that many people will worry about, right?
Capable people can control the direction of things and the development of the story, Sayou does have the ability, but it needs to pay a price, no, it's still acceptable to pay the price. But Sasuke didn't want that.
Everyone has their own things they want to do and look forward to the future, and Sayu just wants to know more about Iya's thoughts, even if it's a lie.
The social engineering mentioned by Yiye before is not so simple, and there are many truths and means in it. You need to understand it slowly.
Compared to this, what Sayou has to do now is to understand what Isa really thinks in his heart, as for why Sayu knows that the current Isa is wearing a false mask? Of course, Iya has a place similar to his own.
Once you connect with people, you will find ways to become what the people around you want to be. It's like Sayou used to work under a female boss.
Sayou is actually quite enthusiastic about his work, after all, he didn't work hard in high school, so he was admitted to a university that wasn't very good. After graduating, I found a job like that.
Because the female boss wants to be silent, then Sayou will be silent; If you want Sayou to react, Sayou will.
It's not that he is unassertive, it's not that Sayou doesn't dare to resist his female boss, it's just that Sayou thinks that is the best result for himself......
In fact, what I think is the best outcome is not the real result, after all, it is the situation that others expect, not the development that I am willing to develop.
If it is your own will, even if the future is the worst, you are willing to move on, because it is possible to go further than the future.
The so-called future is formed by the accumulation of the past and the present little by little, and what the future will become depends not on the expectations of others, but on one's own ideas.
It's like the sisters are not willing to act according to their own ideas, and want to be the pre-righteous and evil beings, which is not wrong, for those two stupid sisters, that is the best future.
Retracting his thoughts, Sayou watched the people around him gradually leave, thinking that he had soaked long enough, so he also left the hot spring and changed into a yukata.
Stretching at the door, Sayou felt refreshed, and the original hot feeling and impetuous aura were all gone.
At this time, the sound of hitting the ball was heard, and Sayou followed the sound to the passage on the right, and after passing through a corridor decorated with lanterns, he came to a space where a ping-pong table was placed.
Hot spring table tennis, at this moment, there are a few guests who have just finished bathing playing table tennis, and the crisp bouncing sound of the table tennis ball is the sound that Sayou hears.
"Nirvana!"
"Lost again! It's a pity, I almost won it. ”
As if in the midst of a game, the frustrated girl walked down from the batting position with her head down, and then a young man walked up.
Seeing Sayou watching from the side, the girl changed into a cheerful expression and asked Sayou
"Would you like to give it a try?"
"No, no."
"Really? It's a pity, but you're also here for tomorrow's festival? A few of us too. ”
Sayu smiled and nodded, then said goodbye and walked to another exit, which seemed to be a courtyard outside.
Passing by an indoor vending machine, several people were buying iced coffee milk, taking it out and drinking it all, showing happy expressions.
Instead of lingering, Sayu came to the courtyard.
In the center was a pool of water, the surface of which glistened in the lights of a nearby room, the moon above his head was hidden behind the clouds, and above the corridor, the cornice, sat a man.
The back is slightly emaciated, wearing the clothes of the store manager, and most of the gray hair in the hair is occupied.
He drank hojicha and ate butter biscuits, leisurely passing the time.
"This guest, would you like to drink some hojicha?"
"This ......"
"It's okay, you're my guest, and this hospitality is a matter of course."
It was better to be respectful than to obey, and Sayou sat down next to the old man, who took out an empty cup and poured a cup of roasted tea for Sayou.
Push the butter biscuits to Sayu's side as well.
"Please use it, I can't eat it alone anyway."
"Thank you very much, don't you need help in the store now?"
"It's okay, the number of employees has increased recently, and the kids are willing to help, so the workload has been reduced a lot, by the way, the air conditioning in your room is broken, right? I'm sorry, it'll be fixed tomorrow morning. ”
"It's fine, just one night."
"So are you satisfied? We're just a small hotel here. ”
"No, I think it's already good, the hotel is not just bigger and more luxurious."
The manager smiled lightly, seeming pleased, and then took a sip from his teacup.
"It's a good place, my grandfather's generation started to build this yard, and they made the pool, water corridor and gazebo, and the small bamboo forest seems to be my father's opinion, and by the way, the rockery over there is my opinion."
"That's good."
Sayou also took a sip of roasted tea, which was a little bitter, but it slowly faded under the sugar content of the biscuits.
Looking at the yard can really calm people, the summer breeze blows quietly, taking away the heat from the body, and the air around is refreshing.
"By the way, isn't this camera yours? It fell in the gazebo in the courtyard, I thought someone would come and take it back, but it never was, I asked the guests passing by, and they all said they didn't know. ”
"Huh?"
Sayu looked at the camera that the store manager had taken out, it was similar to the red camera that Hanazu had brought today, maybe it was something that the young girl had lost.
"If you can, can you give it to me? I have a friend who has such a camera and I want to take it and ask her if she has lost it. ”
"That couldn't be better, I'm going to order a spare for tomorrow's breakfast."
"I'm sorry for your trouble."
The manager waved his hand after handing the camera to Sasuke, who said goodbye to him with a 'thank you for the hospitality', picked up the camera that could be Hanazume and walked towards the house.
