Chapter 51: The Hot Spring Hotel
In the misty open-air hot spring, Hiro, Sao, Guldan and Xiao Er four animals soaked in the hot spring water happily and comfortably, stretching their limbs, four animals soaking in the hot spring together is a rare picture, with the rockery and flowers next to it as a foil, looking at a bit of a fairyland feeling, Hiro feels like a group of little demons in Journey to the West, because there are no tigers in the mountains and the monkey is called the king, and the Tang monks and apprentices pass by they will be wiped out.

"This is my first time in a hot spring, cool ......" The moaning sound of the moan was so low that it reminded the black cat of Satania's laughter, and the tanuki returned to the form of a five-short body, floating on the surface of the hot spring like a floating piece of wood.
Hiro sat on the edge of the hot spring, very interested in the way Sao was floating on the water, and he stretched out his paw and pushed, so Sao floated to the other side like a piece of driftwood.
The big wolf dog Xiao Er was lying on the hot spring outlet to bear the "baptism", and when he saw the tanuki floating over, he was quite curious and pushed it, so the tanuki floated back in front of Hiro's eyes.
"I'm coming!" Gul'dan leaned in, his muscular body spraying like a tsunami as it moved forward in the hot springs.
"Don't!" Riot caused a jerry to sit up from the water, and after three seconds, it sank to the bottom of the hot spring, leaving only a few bubbles bubbling out.
"You're not going to drown in the hot springs, are you?" the black cat half-folded into the hot spring, floating regularly, the warm waves of water in the hot spring rely on every neuron to stimulate Hiro's thinking, if he soaked a little longer, Hiro might faint here because he was too comfortable.
Sao jumped out of the hot springs like a dolphin leaping out of the sea, "Look at my water cannon attack!" said the tanuki as he threw water at Hiro.
Suddenly drenched in water, Hiro looked at him unto be outdone: "You are dead!"
Suddenly, the mist was filled, and Hiro and Sao were splashing water on each other here, while Xiao Er, who was not far away, smashed his mouth to accept the hot spring water, and his expression was sacred and he was about to become a Buddha. It's soaring.
Only the big yellow dog seemed to be soaking in the hot springs - giving Hero and Sao 10,000 bear-hearted leopard galls, and they did not dare to burn the flames of the water battle on Guldan, and even if the black cat and Sao joined forces, they would have absolutely no chance of winning against Guldan.
However, it is obvious that Hero underestimated the courage of the commotion, and this cheap civet cat dared to burrow into the tree and sneered at Gul'dan under the tree, and carried out the death to the end, and the nerves in the hot spring were almost abnormal, and naturally he would not let go of any opportunity to provoke Guldan, he took advantage of the big yellow dog's inattention, splashed water on Guldan's face, and then quickly slipped away.
"Dead tanuki, you're finished!" Gul'dan roared and chased after him, his movement out of the hot spring was so loud that he even felt that it was not the waves of the hot springs that were coming, but the tsunami rolling on the shore of Sanya.
The big yellow dog and the tanuki started an endless battle royale around the hot springs, while Xiao Er fell asleep in a faint coma from the comfortable bathing sensation at the hot spring outlet, and fell into the hot spring with a pop, if it wasn't for Hiro's hand, the wolf dog would probably have drowned here.
The three animals were still playing in the hot springs, until Hiro came out of the water in advance, not that he didn't like the hot springs here, on the contrary, he felt that soaking in the hot springs was really a fluttering enjoyment, but he suddenly remembered that Jialan should be alone in the women's bath next door now, and he was going to take a look.
Although Yijialan's character is not afraid of the so-called loneliness and loneliness, in his heart, Hiro has always unconsciously regarded himself as Jialan's guardian, especially when Li Lan is away.
Kaguyahime's hot spring inn is located in the deep mountains and old forests that are rarely visited, so naturally there are no other guests, and Hiro thinks that it would be strange if there were customers here.
Walking on the floor of the corridor, Hiro saw Kaguyahime who was cleaning the guest room seriously, this bamboo princess was a virtuous and gentle woman no matter how she looked, which reminded him of the equally gentle little fox demon Kashiwatsuki.
Inadvertently seeing a black cat passing by, Kaguyahime smiled at him and continued to clean.
"Are there any guests here?" asked Hiro.
"No, I don't. Kaguyahime squatted on the soft tatami mats, vigorously sweeping every crevice on the coffee table, "It's because no one comes on weekdays, so I don't have anything to do, except for cleaning the hotel every day, and then going to the hot spring before going to bed, I probably can't find anything, there is a human village outside the mountain, but for those villagers, I should be a terrible thing, right?"
"You don't look scary at all. Hiro said.
"That's how people saw me at first, but when they know the identity of my youkai, I'm afraid they will see a different way, so it's better to stay away from the human world as soon as possible, and avoid being targeted by the demon slayer one day. ”
Kaguya smiled, her beautiful and gentle smile was as sweet as honey, but when she looked closely, she could vaguely feel the numbness in the depths of her vision, like a battered slave lying on her cold hard plank bed, staring blankly at the dirty black ceiling above her head, and there was nothing in her eyes that had anything to do with words like hope and light.
"Aren't you a fairy?"
"How many of the legendary things can be trusted?" Kaguya asked rhetorically, smirking at herself, "I'm just a bamboo demon." ”
"Okay. ”
Passing through the corridor, swaggering into the women's bath, only Jialan was quietly soaking in the hot spring, and the air was constantly diffusing with those hot white mist, making Jialan's half-cut back on the water surface as hazy as a fairy in Xiuzhen's novel.
Her short, shoulder-length black hair was wet and shiny, and it was gently rhythmic, and the sheer hair alone, which was silky and seductive than the shampoo advertisement, was enough for the lolicons to fall in love with her at first sight, and start all kinds of bad intentions.
It's not the first time that Hiro has taken a bath with Jialan, when he was at home in Shanghai, Jialan would occasionally carry the black cat into the bathroom, and he would help Hiro wash up while taking a bath, which was indeed a kind of enjoyment, but from the perspective of a cat, it was very simple - Hiro is not a pervert with dirty thoughts, nor will he have any physiological reaction to the girl's young body that has not yet fully developed, I believe that if he changes to other traversers, he will be so excited that he will die of nosebleeds at that moment.
Jialan sensed the black cat coming in, beckoned, and held Hiro in his arms when he walked in.
Surrounded by the feeling of softness, warmth, and the soft fragrance of jade, Hiro's mood was peaceful, like a Dharma master meditating a sober mantra, his head resting on Jialan's white and delicate chest, and he fell asleep in her arms on the green bulge like a green apple.
By the time Hiro woke up, he had been wiped dry and lay on the sheets in his room, much like most Japanese-style rooms, with a bunk directly on the tatami mats and no one around.
He stretched his waist and walked out of the room, and saw two animals standing on the walk chasing and fighting, just like two Labradors who were happy, one was the big yellow dog Guldan, and the other was the commotion, as for the wolf dog Xiao Er, he didn't know where to run.
Hiro shook his head and decided to go back to sleep, for cats, who had spent most of the day sleeping, and who had already wasted a lot of time in the hot springs, needed to replenish it while he was sleepy.
The dream is full of old residential buildings, corridors full of small advertisements, rusty security doors, this is the scenery of the previous life in the memory, but it did not give Hiro too many sad spring and autumn and the opportunity to sigh about the years of life, and many familiar things soon appeared in front of his eyes, such as Guldan, Sao, Jialan, Li Lan, Bai Yue, and Satania, Venette, Audubil......
People don't realize that they are dreaming when they are dreaming, and the same is true for cats, but when he saw countless screaming zombies rushing out of all corners of the building, and the one who led the charge was Guldan, who had turned into a zombie, he was still inevitably shocked by this nightmare and woke up.
The main factor that woke him up was not the hideous-looking and strange zombies in the dream, but the Gul'dan who had become a zombie, because in Hiro's cognition, if all the dogs in the world were mutated because of the virus, then the only one who did not have a corpse must be Guldan, and it can all the zombies alone (dogs).
In addition, there are other familiar characters in the dream, such as the cheap tanuki Sao, in the dream the corpse Sao rides on Guldan's back, like a general galloping on the battlefield, which is the key factor that makes Hiro realize that he is dreaming - how is it possible for Sao to turn over in front of Gul'dan and be the master? If he sees this scene in real life, then Hiro will definitely feel that he is dreaming or hallucinating, and then slap himself hard.
When I woke up from this nightmare, the time should have been three watches in the middle of the night, and the room was quiet, except for the even breathing of a group of animals - among them, the snoring of Gul'dan and Saorous was extremely high-pitched, and it was very rhythmic like playing the violin, which made people want to follow the beat after listening to it for a long time, and Hero once suspected that he would wake up in the middle of the night and these external factors were inseparable.
"It's noisy!" the black cat kicked the big yellow dog in anger.
The yellow dog's uniform purr was suddenly, and when Hiro thought that it would not wake up and beat him up, Gul'dan erupted into a louder purring sound than just now, like the whistle of a steam train when it started, the only difference was that Gul'dan was more subdued and frustrated, and his breath was long, like mountains and flowing water, and if he listened to it too much, he would feel that there were thousands of ants crawling around in his chest.
Hiro regretted his kick, and now he found that even if he fled to another room in the hot spring inn, the sound of snoring would probably linger in his ears clearly, sneaking into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently.
There was no Jialan in the room, and Hiro remembered that she should be back in Shanghai - she was less than an hour away from Shanghai and Hokkaido, Japan, and she could fly home to sleep at any time, and there was no need to sleep in an unfamiliar environment.
She is not a person who can easily fall asleep in any strange environment, Hiro remembers that when Jialan first came to Shanghai, she would have insomnia every night, and she insomnia likes to hold the black cat in her arms, so that Hiro has to follow her insomnia, during that time Hiro has a black circle under his eyes every day, if he is a white cat, he will probably become a giant panda in those days.
Turning his head and glancing at the big yellow dog that was snoring and angry, as well as the commotion and Xiao Er with a painful face, Hiro decided to go out for a walk, without these noisy guys, walking alone in the forest under the bright moon night, I think it is a very meaningful thing, how many literati and ink writers are chanting poems in this environment, how can they be without him.
Hiro walked to the forest outside the hot spring inn, the dark night sky was full of stars, and the white moonlight fell on the ground, like a layer of glowing mercury, and the dead and fallen leaves that had accumulated on the ground for hundreds of years were piled up thickly, because the early spring was still cold, and many of the leaves were covered with frost and snow.
The breeze stirred the fluff on the surface of the body, a little cold, the black cat shivered, but it was much more energetic, and walked slowly on the path outside the hot spring inn, from which you could faintly see the dark Japanese rural villages with sparkling sparks outside the mountains and forests.
"Can't you sleep?" Hearing this, Hiro turned around and saw Kaguyahime, dressed in a Japanese kimono and looking like a fairy.
"To be able to fall asleep in that environment, it takes a little ability, and I can't do enough. Hiro expressed his anger and helplessness at Guldan's purring, there are many things in the world that cannot be changed, and can only be accepted, but the noise of the big yellow dog sleeping is obviously not within the scope of the black cat's acceptance, just like Li Lan, who is essentially a lazy person, can't accept the excessive bathing frequency of some girls, "People who have to take a bath twice a day, how dirty does that have to be?", and the reaction of normal people is generally "How much do you have to love clean?"
"You have a point. Kaguya covered her mouth and chuckled.
"What about you, insomnia?" Hiro looked at her.
"I have the same reasons as you. The corners of Kaguya's mouth curled up, her bright red lips looked delicate, and her face didn't need any makeup to perfectly surpass those bewitching women who had undergone countless makeup modifications.
The legendary Princess Bamboo, a fairy who was punished for falling from the sky into the world, was discovered and raised by people from the hollow bamboo, and was finally picked up by the celestial beings on the night of the full moon, perhaps there are many false parts of the legend, but there is not much exaggeration of her beauty.
She's like a beauty from Photoshop.
Hiro looked at the scenery in the distance and asked, "Won't the villagers of those villages come here?"
"A long time ago, humans would still come to my hot springs. Kaguyahime's expression was very indifferent, "It's just that later, in order to avoid the sight of the demon slayer, I set up a formation enchantment to hide this small area, and you can't see anything from the outside to the inside, if you break in, you will fall into a maze, so humans won't find here." ”
"Then your customers are generally ......"
"It's a nearby monster, but they rarely come to me, and the last time the bottle demon girl came to my hot spring and chat with me, it was fifteen years ago. Kaguya said.
"Fifteen years ago......" Hiro twitched the corners of his mouth.
"I'm going back to rest, remember not to go too far, this mountain forest is still very big, be careful not to get lost. Kaguya finished her instructions and turned back to the hotel.
Hiro turned his head and climbed up the tree in silence, looking at the scenery in the distance.
Night.
Black cat.
Black Forest.
A boundless ink smeared on the scroll.
