Early in the morning, when the morning sun rises.

After a touch of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, the golden morning sun rose from the endless Arashi Mountain.

A thousand wisps of soft morning light shine through the wind-blown windows.

On the tatami mat, two people sleep in each other's arms.

They skin to skin, face to face, close together.

"Hmm......"

At a certain moment, Shiraishi Qianren let out a murmur, and after moving her fingers, she slowly opened her eyes.

What catches your eye is the peaceful sleeping face of Izumi Kurose.

He let out a shallow breath, and the black hair on his forehead was scattered and fragmented, making people want to tidy it up.

So, Shiraishi Chiren reached out and stroked Kurose's bits of black hair, and kissed him on the forehead.

She then closed her eyes and continued to sleep.

An hour later, the sun rises high, and the dazzling sunlight shines on the Dayan River below Arashiyama, and the river is sparkling.

It's eight o'clock in the morning.

At this time, Kurose Izumi woke up from his sleep.

When he woke up, he quietly hugged Shiraishi for a while, then touched her head, and prepared to get up.

"Izumi."

And just as he was about to come out of the futon, Shiraishi Chiren reached out and grabbed him.

"Good morning. Awake? ”

"Well, wake up."

Shiraishi Chiren nodded slightly, looking at Izumi Kurose with sleepy eyes.

At the moment, she looks incredibly cute—at least to Izumi Kurose.

"Pick me up."

"Okay."

Izumi Kurose obediently half-crouched down, wrapped her hands around Shiraishi Chiren's body, picked up her princess, and walked towards the bathroom.

Shiraishi Chiren is often coquettish like this, and he has long been used to it.

Coming to the bathroom, Izumi Kurose took a towel, washed Chiren Shiraishi's face, and brushed her teeth.

After that, he slowly got up and worked.

At half past eight, the two walked out of the room and came to the restaurant for breakfast.

Breakfast is a set menu for 980 yen.

It includes grilled saury, pickled radish, fried tofu, and a river shrimp miso soup.

The saury is delicious and has a fresh and sweet taste, and it is said that the fish, shrimp, and shellfish here are all taken from the Dayan River.

It's no wonder it's so expensive.

"Izumi, ah~"

When breakfast was first served, Shiraishi Chiren did not rush to eat, but took a bite first and fed it to Kurose Izumi's mouth.

"Here you are again, are you asking me to test if it is poisonous?" Izumi Kurose smiled helplessly, and opened his mouth to eat the fried tofu that was fed to his mouth.

When the two of them were eating, Shiraishi Chiren would always do this, feeding him the first bite.

…… I don't know if it's a custom or not.

He had asked Shiraishi Qianren once before, but Shiraishi Qianren said a word, and he was speechless.

At that time, Shiraishi Chiren said this:

"I learned this from the Bridal Masterbook, huh?"

Izumi Kurose, who heard such words, how could he refuse?

Hearing this, Shiraishi Chiren chuckled and said, "Hmph, if it's poisonous, I'll save the spring no matter what." No matter how bad it is, we will die together. ”

Izumi Kurose said a little helplessly: "Even if it's a joke, don't make it like that?" ”

Like some kind of martyrdom or something, he didn't dare to think about it.

He wants Shiraishi Chiren to live well and live happily.

Although without him, most of them will not be happy.

"I'm not kidding."

“…… Chiri, you're such a hopeless fool. ”

"Correct, it's Aiquan's hopeless stupidity."

“……”

During the conversation, the two leisurely finished lunch, returned to the Japanese-style room to rest for a while, picked up their cameras, and prepared to go to Arashiyama.

Walking out of the villa, I came to the foot of Arashiyama, and in front of me was the long flowing Great Weir River.

Along the upstream, the Hozu River is reached, and downstream, the 154-meter-long Togetsu Bridge connects the two banks.

Standing on the bridge and looking around, Lanshan is faintly like Dai, and the pine cherry trees are dense; Under the bridge, the blue waves are rippling, and the flowing water is murmuring; In the drizzle, smoke is swirling and looming; When it is dark, the peaks are green, and there are birds singing from time to time, and they do not feel quiet and dusty, and they are full of poetry.

On the side of the bridge, there are Arashiyama Park, Kameyama Park, and Tenryuji Temple.

In the mountain, there are places of interest and historic sites such as the Great Compassion Pavilion, the ** Temple, and the Small Governor's Mound.

To the northeast is the Sagano Bamboo Forest, and legend has it that those who make a successful confession here are happy in the end.

The gurgling river of the Dayan River is crystal clear and crystal clear, and in the bright sunlight, the waves hitting the stones are shining, refracting dazzling brilliance.

On the mountains on both sides, the pines and cypresses are verdant and lush, and the bamboo forests and village houses at the bottom of the mountain are densely displayed, and after a drizzle, a light veil-like mist drifts around the peak of Arashiyama, from which the name "Arashiyama" comes from.

On the clear water of the river, fish and shrimp swim by from time to time, and the upper reaches are covered with fiery red maple leaves.

Speaking of Lanshan, there is also a poem written by a great Chinese man, which has to be mentioned.

In his previous life, Izumi Kurose remembered learning this poem, titled: "Arashiyama in the Rain - Kyoto, Japan".

The poem says: "In the rain for the second time to visit Lanshan, the pine trees on both sides of the river, sandwiched a few cherry trees.

At the end, I suddenly saw a mountain high, and the spring water flowing out was as green as a promise, and the stone was shining on people.

Xiaoxiao rain and fog are thick, and a ray of sunshine penetrates the clouds, and it is more and more beautiful.

The truth of all things in the world becomes more and more blurred,—— and in the blur, I occasionally see a little light: the more I feel the truth."

After taking a rough picture of the Oyan River, Izumi Kurose and Chiren Shiraishi walked hand in hand along the mountain road full of red maples and walked into the forest with wild birds chirping, and they were in a very pleasant mood.

The dazzling sunlight is dappled and sprinkled, and the shadows of the trees in the forest are scattered, just like the root knots under the trees.

Izumi Kurose looked around and exclaimed, "What a great place." ”

"Hmm."

Shiraishi Qianren nodded slightly, but she didn't look left and right.

Her gaze was on Izumi Kurose throughout.

As he walked, Izumi Kurose proposed, "Why don't we stop and take pictures?" It's not enough to just take pictures of the scenery. ”

"Listen to the spring."

"That Qianlian, you stand there, let me shoot."

Following Izumi Kurose's instructions, Chiren Shiraishi stood under a burly red maple.

She lowered her head slightly, reached out and pulled up a strand of hair scattered across her forehead, her face was calm and peaceful.

Click-

Izumi Kurose captured this scene and was sincerely amazed.

The scenery is beautiful, and the people are more beautiful.

After that, change to Shiraishi Chiren to shoot Kurose Spring.

The background of his photo was also chosen by the red maple.

Under the camera, Izumi Kurose felt that she should smile.

Therefore, he began to recall the bits and pieces of his time with Shiraishi Chiri, and the softest and most natural smile appeared on his face.

This smile is also beautiful in Shiraishi's eyes.

She captured the scene and remembered it forever, and it won't fade years later.

"Let's take a picture of us with your phone, shall we?"

"Izumi really likes to take pictures."

"Because they want to record about us."

"Hmph, it's okay, we can show it to our children in the future."

"Now, it's too early to talk about such a thing, right?"

After taking the photo, the two chatted while walking towards the Sagano bamboo forest, and after a while, they stepped into the rows of green and beautiful worlds that covered the sky and the sun.

This bamboo forest path, about 500 meters long, is the scene of a murder in a private mansion in "Detective Conan - Tang Hong's Love Song".

Walking through the bamboo forest, you can hear the natural sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo leaves, which has been rated as one of the 100 most important sounds in Japan.

And this is also the filming location of Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and the Tenryu Temple in the trail has a very wonderful Japanese garden beauty.

Every year in December, when the Arashiyama Lantern Festival is held, the bamboo forest and the Togetsu Bridge are illuminated brilliantly, making it a unique sight in winter.

Gu Lu: But that's a long way away.

Now, the bamboo forest is green, and when the dazzling light shines in, the bamboos exude emerald green, transparent and bright.

Izumi Kurose took pictures repeatedly, and occasionally asked passers-by to take a picture of them with their cameras.

In this way, they walked hand in hand through the bamboo forest and came to the back gate of Tianlong Temple.

From here, we are the "Hundred Flowers".

As the name suggests, there are a variety of flowers, and many tourists stop here to admire the famous flowers and plants.

Izumi Kurose wasn't interested in these flowers, but she took pictures of them.

- This is to be able to show their children in the future.

Along the way, they stopped and visited the courtyard and the temple, and they took a lot of beautiful photos.

Of course, it's not free, and the entrance fee for visiting the garden and courtyard is different, but it is not expensive to add up to 1,600 yen.

At this point, Arashiyama has traveled almost and can turn back.

Although there are many ancient temples and scenic spots, the distribution is relatively scattered, and the scenery is much worse than the few I have just played, so I will not go.

Turn back along the Sagano bamboo forest and go all the way down the mountain.

At the foot of Arashiyama, on a small bridge by the Oyan River, they ran into an acquaintance.

Izumi Kurose took the lead in waving his hand and said hello: "Morning, teacher, Inari." ”

"Ah...... Early, Kurose, Shiraishi-san. Gu Jian Hui hurriedly replied to say hello.

After saying hello, they also walked up to each other.

Kurose Izumi glanced up and down at the two of them, and said with a smile: "It really doesn't matter if you guys dress like this and climb the mountain?" ”

At the moment, they are wearing kimonos and stepping on wooden shoes.

It's hard to say that I'm here to climb the mountain.

"It doesn't matter!" Inari Xue clenched her little hands with a look of determination to win.

Megumi Furumi squirmed and said, "It's snow...... Inari said that she wanted to dress like this, and I couldn't help it. ”

"Oh~~~"

Izumi Kurose suddenly let out a sigh of realization, revealing a teasing smile.

Immediately, he waved his hand and said, "Then we will go first, and I wish you all a good time." ”

"Goodbye, goodbye."

Inari Yuki and Megumi Furumi also waved goodbye to them and walked towards the way up the mountain.

Saying goodbye to the two, Izumi Kurose said with emotion: "Inari is really capable." ”

"Huh? What does it mean? Shiraishi asked with a little confusion.

"Just now, Mr. Furumi's appearance was clearly pinched by Inari, right?"

"Hmm...... Have it? ”

"Didn't you?"

Izumi Kurose glanced at Chiren Shiraishi in surprise, thinking to herself how could she not see such a keen person?

"I don't know, because all along, I've only been paying attention to Izumi, and I haven't paid much attention to the others."

“…… You, forget it. ”

"Hmph, you're showing a funny expression."

Shiraishi Chiren laughed happily.

As she said, all the while, her eyes were only on Black Willow Spring.

Anyone other than him......

Really little attention.

"It's so arrogant ...... a thousand pitifuls"

Izumi Kurose muttered quietly, thinking to herself that she was not also being manipulated, why did she still laugh at others?

Back at the villa, the two took a break and went out for lunch.

Lunch was simple, fried chicken and hamburger steak.

After lunch, the two walked hand in hand.

It was a long walk, and it was almost an afternoon walk from Arashiyama to the Kamogawa River!

I've been taking pictures of the scenery along the way, and there are some scenes that I find interesting, and I record them.

Then, I played everywhere, such as going to the local game center to catch dolls, shoot big stickers, and play arcade machines.

Or eat a famous snack together.

Just like that, Izumi Kurose and Chiren Shiraishi feel very satisfied, and they are in a good mood all the time.

Whether it is now or in the future, they will definitely do the same, and they will spend it with a smile all the time.

Before they knew it, the two came to the Kamogawa River.

On one side of the road, there are fiery red maple leaves, planted in rows, and densely stretching towards the end of the road.

On the other side, there is the long Kamogawa River, where birds swim and forage on the water, and maple leaves flutter with the current.

At this moment, it is dusk, the blood-red sunset is shining down, and the glittering river surface is impossible to look at.

Izumi Kurose found a slightly less dazzling angle, looked at the sunset reflected on the river, and took a few photos.

Then he took pictures of the red maples on the road and recorded everything that looked good.

Along the Kamogawa River, the two walked quietly for a while, until the sun gradually set and sank into the mountains of Kiyomizudera Temple in the distance, and the night enveloped it.

The night breeze is thin and cool, blowing slightly, blowing the river surface at the same time, people can't help but shiver.

Izumi Kurose and Chiren Shiraishi sat on a bench next to the Kamogawa River, watching the sunset swallowed up by the swarthy mountains, and then they had the intention of going back.

"I'm a little tired." Shiraishi said softly.

"I'm carrying you?"

"Izumi is tired too, right?"

"I'm tired, but I still want to carry you."

"Hmph, then please carry me for a while."

Looking at Izumi Kurose who was squatting in front of the bench, Shiraishi Chiren laughed, put her arms around his neck, and pressed her body up.

Feeling the weight and softness of her back, Izumi Kurose slowly stood up and walked along the long Kamogawa River.

The cold wind that blew the river swept the two of them, but it didn't make them feel cold.

Because, the skin they are clinging to really has a heat that is not lost to each other's hearts.

"Izumi, I love you......"

Chiren Shiraishi buried her face in Izumi Kurose's shoulder, her little head rubbing against the side of his face, her voice extremely soft.

"I love you too."

Izumi Kurose responded with a smile, looking sideways at Chiren Shiraishi, who was lying on his shoulder, drowsy.

He knows it all.

Shiraishi Chiren wasn't actually so tired that she wanted to sleep.

It's just that when she lies on him, she feels at ease and relaxed, so she feels tired and sleepy.

It's like the feeling of being away from home for a long time, missing home, and coming home.

And this is also the purpose of Izumi Kurose's back to her.

He wanted Shiraishi Qianren to sleep for a while, take a rest, and rely on him more and be coquettish to him.

"Izumi, carried by you, I want to sleep happily."

"Then sleep for a while, I'll carry you on my back."

"Hmm...... Then I'll just get some sleep. ”

Shiraishi Chiren squinted and replied softly.

After a while, she fell asleep happily.

And her face buried in Izumi Kurose's shoulder unconsciously showed a shallow smile.

Chiren Shiraishi had a dream.

In the dream, Izumi Kurose proposed to her on Christmas, which was also her birthday.

What was the scene like at that time?

Well......

I don't remember exactly.

"Izumi, from now on, please take care of the immature wife of Shiraishi Chiri."

At a certain moment, Shiraishi Chiri, who was happily asleep, whispered in her dreams.

Then, she heard a firm and warm response:

"Later...... It's Chiren Kurose. ”
