Chapter 239. Mountain House (4000 words)
Kitagawa's house made a late day today, and Nakajima Mikahana, who had been nesting in the room and writing songs, also came out to celebrate.
Although it is only an online vote, the specific results depend on the selection of experts.
But as long as Ando Asuka can be defeated, Eri Kitagawa will feel very happy.
After all, she defeated the other party fairly.
"Hmm—I can't eat it." Eri Kitagawa leaned back on the upholstered back of the sofa and burped.
Nakajima leaned against her and said, "The food made by Kitagawa-kun is really good, but I'm too full to eat." ”
The two of them leaned side by side, like two big salted fish, which made Beichuan Temple, who was cleaning up the dishes, also shake his head.
But considering that Eri Kitagawa won the first place, he turned a blind eye to his sister's salted fish behavior for the time being.
After putting away all the utensils, Kitagawa Temple dried his hands, hung his apron back in its place, and sat down on the other side of the sofa.
And at the moment when he sat down, Eri Kitagawa, who had eaten very well, suddenly spoke:
"Brother Si, there is something I want to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?"
"It's the weekend in two days, Saki, Ai, Mio, and Nanako, they said they wanted to celebrate me, and they said they found a place to go camping, I don't know if it's okay?" Eri Kitagawa blinked and asked.
Going camping?
Kitagawa Temple's action of serving tea paused and asked, "Are you camping in the wilderness?" ”
"Hmm."
Anyway, it was to ask for Kitagawa Temple's consent, and Kitagawa Eri had no plans to hide it from him.
This time, they chose to camp in the suburbs around Tokyo, so they only needed to bring tents and snacks.
There is a simple camping platform and a nearby water source that can be freely accessed, which is also a very convenient place.
As for cooking...
To be reasonable, except for Otomo, who has this idea, everyone else has unanimously decided to bring snacks and some quick heated bento.
After all, they are looking for the atmosphere of the wilderness, not what they eat and drink.
Think about it, the five of them are excitedly roasting a bonfire, eating snacks, looking at the stars and moons, celebrating for Eri Kitagawa while discussing the boys and girls they like, which is also very feeling.
"Planning to spend the night there?" As soon as Kitagawa Temple saw the appearance of Eri Kitagawa and knew what she was thinking.
"Hmm." Eri Kitagawa nodded.
A group of little girls spending the night in the wild? It's too unsafe.
A group of girls are in the wilderness, and if they encounter bad people, it will be a big trouble.
In fact, there are definitely not a few cases of women camping in Tokyo and then encountering perverts.
Not to mention a few little girls like this, they have no ability to resist when they meet gangsters.
As soon as Kitagawa Temple heard Kitagawa Eri's words, he subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But seeing Eri Kitagawa with her expectant look, Kitagawa Temple frowned, and after thinking for a while, he nodded: "I can agree that you and your friends will go camping." ”
"Really?!"
Eri Kitagawa, who didn't really have much hope, jumped up.
"But I'm going to come with you." Kitagawa Temple put forward another condition.
Yes, it's really not safe for Eri Kitagawa and her group of little girls to stay in the wilderness in a group.
Kitagawa Temple plans to follow in person.
As long as he follows him, no matter who he meets, he should be able to solve it.
"Brother Si wants to come along?" Eri Kitagawa widened her eyes with surprise on her face.
Seeing her like this, Beichuan Temple subconsciously asked, "Is it inconvenient?" ”
Also, so many little girls, just a boy, will indeed have inconvenient considerations.
But if he wasn't allowed to pass, he could only say sorry to Eri Kitagawa.
After all, Eri Kitagawa and her group of friends are just a group of freshman high school students, and they can't protect themselves in the face of danger.
From the point of view of security, he would not agree.
"Nope!" Eri Kitagawa spoke as a matter of course, and she said in extra surprise; "Brother Si, you don't know, Mio and Saki all want to see Brother Si again, and it's very safe to have you by your side!"
Well?
Beichuan Temple didn't expect that he would be so popular with this group of little girls. He was stunned by Eri Kitagawa's surprised expression, and then he replied.
"Then you go and prepare, and tell me the specific location." Kitagawa Temple nodded.
"Hmm!" Eri Kitagawa nodded vigorously, then quickly took out her mobile phone, logged in to LINE, and notified her friends of the news in a private small group chat.
Beichuan Temple didn't bother with her, and thought carefully in his heart.
Camping tents can be rented at a storefront and are not particularly expensive.
As for things like pots and pans or barbecue grills, the Kitagawa family has ready-made ones, and there is no problem in bringing them with them when the time comes.
"The key is the ingredients..."Kitagawa Temple tilted his head, looking at Eri Kitagawa with an excited look, and he didn't particularly care about it in his heart.
No matter how salty the fish is, her sister should choose to bring her own ingredients.
You can't go camping, but you still end up eating snacks and some self-heating bento, right?
That's too salty.
Kitagawa Temple is still a little confident in his teaching policy, and he believes that Eri Kitagawa will not do such a thing.
"Then let's wait for the day after tomorrow."
Today is Thursday, and Kitagawa Temple is not particularly in a hurry.
......
The next day, Keihoku High School closed at noon.
"Speaking of which, it's going to be another weekend tomorrow, right? What are you going to do? Kamiya Miku didn't care about the eyes of the people around him, put his desk together with Kitagawa Temple, picked up his lunch box and asked.
Kitagawa Temple hasn't had a good weekend for two or three weeks in a row.
Either you are removing spirits, or you are on the way to removing spirits.
Of course, this is not to say that the removal of spirits is bad.
Instead, Kamiya also wants to spare some time at Kitagawa Temple in the future.
What do you do with the time you free up?
Naturally, she invited Kitagawa Temple to watch a movie, or go to an amusement park, which may have one-tenth of Kamiya's selfishness in the future.
Can! Be!
Kamiya Mirai's original intention was to let Kitagawa Temple experience the pastime of high school students.
This time, it was rare that she didn't see Beichuan Temple to investigate the supernatural and strange incident, so of course she had to come over and ask Beichuan Temple if there were any scheduled activities on the weekend.
Kitagawa Temple ate the sandwich, then poured a sip of barley tea, swallowed it completely before replying, "I already have plans for this weekend." ”
"Got a plan?!"
Kamiya Miku's body shook slightly, and she felt that she had been hit, she looked at Beichuan Temple, and couldn't help but continue to ask: "This weekend, Sijun shouldn't need to remove the spirit, right?" Even then, is there anything else to deal with? ”
Seeing that her tone seemed to be a little unwilling, Beichuan Temple raised her head and replied; "I'm going to go camping with them this week."
"They?"
Kamiya Miku excavated the most important words from Kitagawa Temple's statement: "Is it Eri's sister's friends?" ”
"Hmm."
"All girls?" Kamiya Mirai asked again.
Kitagawa Temple's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and after a little thought, he replied:
"It should all be girls, I've basically seen all her friends, and I don't have the impression of boys."
"Really?!" Miku Kamiya's voice subconsciously raised.
But she soon felt that this was rude again, so she coughed twice and then suppressed her voice, and asked obediently, "I wonder if I can also go with me?" Temple-kun? I haven't camped in a long time. ”
"If Aunt Kamiya and Uncle Kamiya are okay, I don't have much of a problem."
Kitagawa Temple calmly agreed.
Originally, when Kamiya Mirai asked these details, he had already imagined that the other party might want to go with him.
And the number of people has already been added to Beichuan Temple, so it shouldn't be much of a problem to add Kamiya in the future.
After all, Kamiya Mirai has always had a good relationship with Eri Kitagawa in the future.
"That's definitely not much of a problem, Mom and Dad recently went to a lecture at the Society, as if to introduce the folklore of a certain place. Now I'm the only one in the house again. Mirai Kamiya replied.
Since there is no problem on the parents' side, then there will be no more problems.
Kitagawa Temple and Kamiya Mirai discussed some more details about camping.
At the end, Miku Kamiya asked as if he had suddenly thought of something, "Tera-kun, even though I'm going camping, there's a difference between cooking and not cooking, right?" Sister Eri, did they say they were going to bring ingredients? ”
"Since it's camping, it should be considered the right way to bring some ingredients, and Eri should understand it, so I didn't ask."
Kitagawa Temple replied naturally.
"......" Kamiya Future.
Is that really the case?
Kamiya is a little worried about the future.
Kitagawa Temple is too confident in his sister, right?
But looking at his appearance, Kamiya Mirai couldn't say anything, so he decided to wait until he went home after school to ask Eri Kitagawa for specific details.
The two stayed up like this until the end of school, and Kamiya Mirai couldn't wait to get home and open LINE to contact Eri Kitagawa -
'Sister Eri, I'll be participating in this camping activity too, no problem, right?' ’
After a while, news came from Eri Kitagawa.
'No problem! If there is a future sister, Brother Si shouldn't be too boring. ’
In the back, Eri Kitagawa also has cute emoji characters attached.
"What a conversation." Mirai Kamiya sighed as he edited the next message.
'Do you want to cook your own food in the camping area over there?' Or do you want to bring a self-heating bento with you? It seems that the temple has already recognized that you will be cooking in the wild. ’
Eri Kitagawa was silent.
This inexplicable silence made Kamiya Miku instinctively feel that something was wrong, and she just wanted to ask again, when news came from there.
'What should I do?' I forgot to tell Brother Si that this time we will buy some snacks in the past. ’
Then you're gone.
Kamiya Miku couldn't help but twitch in his heart when he thought of Kitagawa Temple's expression of believing that his sister couldn't be so salty.
Temple-kun... Your sister... It's really a salted egg.
At this point, I can only buy the ingredients tomorrow.
Anyway, with her, there will be no problem in getting a delicious meal in the wild.
She sent the message out and glanced up at the weather outside.
Well.
The weather is clear and the wind is smooth. What a sunset at the beginning of spring.
"Tomorrow - it should be a good day, right?"
She thought so.
......
Eri Kitagawa told Kitagawa Temple everything.
But Kitagawa Temple didn't say anything about it, just said on LINE that he would go and buy the ingredients alone tomorrow.
And so simply it passed.
After all, that's a celebration... In normal times, Kitagawa Temple would have to pull Kitagawa Eri down to teach for half an hour.
But this is a celebration.
Since it was a celebration, it would be a bit unkind to educate Eri Kitagawa again, so Kitagawa Temple decided to ignore it.
"Ingredients for six people, and it's still eaten at night..."
While strolling around the shopping street, Kitagawa Temple pocketed everything he wanted to buy.
Drinks, chicken, curry packs...
It is enough for one person to purchase these ingredients.
On the other hand, Kitagawa Temple asked Kamiya Mirai and Kitagawa Eri's group to rent tents, sleeping bags and other items in advance, and then let them go to their destination to set up their tents by the way.
And Otomo, Mio Sakura, Nanako Takigen, Saki Sakurai. Beichuan Temple asked these little girls to buy plastic cups, bamboo skewers and go back to get the pans and other tools.
After selecting the last ingredient, Kitagawa Temple glanced at the time.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
It had been two hours since he arrived at the high street at eight o'clock.
And...
"It's raining?" Beichuan Temple couldn't help frowning.
Dark clouds converged overhead, like a haze, swirling and condensing, almost thick overflowing...
On the other side, Mirai Kamiya and Eriza Kitagawa are combined.
On both sides of the mountain road are endless dense forests, and under the heavy rain, the mountain road is even more muddy.
"Why is it raining?!"
Kamiya Mirai and Eri Kitagawa were still carrying tents on their backs, but this rain made them a little panicked.
The news from the Meteorological Observatory was unbelievable.
Kamiya Miku couldn't help but think so.
You must know that when she looked at some weather forecasts last night, they all clearly indicated that there would be no rain today.
But now it looks like there's no rain?
The rain curtain was almost continuous, and it fell with a clatter, and in a short time, it drenched Mirai Kamiya and Eri Kitagawa all over their bodies.
The point is that it's only spring, and it's still easy to catch a cold when you get wet.
But the campsite is in the mountains, and there is still some distance from here to there.
The first priority is to find a place to shelter from the rain.
Mirai Kamiya squinted his eyes and looked around, trying to find some shelter from the rain in this dense forest.
"Sister Future! There's a bungalow over there! ”
Under this continuous rain curtain, Eri Kitagawa noticed something with sharp eyes and screamed loudly.
She reached out and pointed deep into the forest.
Eri Kitagawa points to a trail on the left side of the mountain road.
The trail winds its way into it.
In the gap between the branches of the dense forest, Kamiya Mirai clearly saw the western-style mansion with rainwater on the surface.
Is there such a bungalow in the middle of the mountains and forests?
Kamiya Miku frowned, and before he could think about anything, he was pulled over by Eri Kitagawa.
"If you don't shelter from the rain, you're going to catch a cold, future sister."
"Hmm."
That's just as well.
Kamiya Miku hesitated slightly, but finally decided to walk over.
The two of them walked in the direction of the bungalow.
