The wild deer that Sakakibara Rakuta had enough for a few people to eat until the fourth day.

But in fact, in the early morning of the penultimate day of the New Year, that is, the early morning of the third day of the disaster, the helicopter sent by the Tianhai family followed the wolf smoke of the bonfire and found a few people.

As for why the Tianhai family was able to come so quickly, it was also thanks to the foresight of Tianhai Maodian.

The uncle knew the time when the few people arrived at the Kusshalu Lake Scenic Area, and when the people had not arrived a day apart and could not contact a few people, he notified the Tianhai family and asked them to send a helicopter to search the mountainous areas around Asahikawa City after the wind and snow had become significantly smaller.

After getting on the plane, Sakakihara knew why there was a hot spring in the place where a few people stayed.

It turned out that the location of the people was only 30 kilometers away from the straight line of Lake Kusharo, just around the volcano.

When Sakakihara saw his uncle in the helicopter, he felt like he didn't even have the face to see him.

Facing his uncle's stern face, he could only try to greet "good morning, uncle" as usual.

The helicopter was noisy, but fortunately they could hear each other's conversations.

"Good morning? You stinky boy is really uncomfortable. ”

"Uncle, I didn't expect the snow to be so heavy when the incident happened suddenly, several main roads were blocked, and I couldn't find any way back to the original road."

“.” Tianhai Maodian just stared at him silently and didn't speak.

The uncle is currently both his own stepfather and his own father-in-law.

In the face of his pressure, Sakakihara was quite worried.

Tianhai Maodian turned his head sideways and looked at another helicopter in the air in the helicopter's cabin.

Below, the July Glass and the others are gradually ascending the soft ladder lowered by the helicopter.

"Uncle, don't worry, none of them are injured."

"Well, it looks pretty good."

"Thanks to the camping equipment, it is very complete." Sakakihara said with a smile.

"What have you eaten in the mountains these two days? Bring food in advance? ”

"Hare grilled fish or something, because there was already a camping barbecue, so I brought a lot of seasoning. I also bumped into a hot spring on the way, so I didn't have to worry about keeping warm at night. ”

It sounds like this stinky boy is having a good time in the mountains with a few of them.

Tianhai Shigeru didn't want to say anything about this stinky boy, and originally wanted to blame him for how he could take a few girls to such a dangerous place.

But it seems that he is doing well in taking care of people, as always.

The heavy snow closed the mountain for him to play and became a mountain camping.

Meihe has been in a hurry for most of the day, and this stinky boy is more comfortable with a few people than the two of them on vacation.

I don't know whether to praise him or scold him.

"Next time you go out, pay attention to the weather."

"Of course, I'll definitely pay attention to it next time I go out."

*

"Ahh

At the end of the year, the B&B in the scenic spot, the crowd is still endless, I don't know if it is the annual vacation, most people have time to run out.

There are also countless tents camped in the snow next to the wooden homestays unique to the countryside.

Between these tents, there are campfires and freshly erected camping barbecues.

The scenery of Hokkaido is as flat, empty and snow-white as ever.

Suddenly flying out of the mountains and seeing this heart-warming snowy landscape, Sakakihara didn't know what the others thought.

But he felt very comfortable.

"That's right, brother! We went by helicopter, so what about our motorbike in the mountains? ”

"Why didn't you think to ask about this until now?"

Sakakihara Suzu smirked, her purple eyes narrowed, "I was so excited when I got into the helicopter, I didn't expect this." Won't you have to wait for the snow to melt before driving back? ”

"How is that possible," Sakakihara explained, "according to my uncle, Sakura's helicopters were hired anyway, and the motorcycles were hoisted out of the mountains by helicopters. ”

“.”

"What's wrong?"

"How much does this cost?"

"This is the helicopter of the Tianhai family."

"Impossible! Isn't the Tenkai family in Tokyo? ”

Hearing this, Sakakihara pointed to his feet expressionlessly, "Why do you think the helicopter can set off so quickly?" ”

"Hmm. The search and rescue team here in Hokkaido that my uncle paid a lot of money for? ”

"Wrong! It is because of the development of this scenic spot that the Tianhai family undertakes! The equipment in the surrounding scenic spots, airplanes, large hotels, etc., are all things of Tianhai's family. ”

Sakakihara stretched out his hand as he spoke.

Suzu Sakakihara looked in the direction of his finger and saw the logo of a subsidiary of the Amami Group on the helicopter.

The ones who bring everyone back emotionally are all the assets of the Tianhai family.

Running so far for half a day to travel, the place I ran to is also my own land.

Suzu Sakakihara knew this.

This kind of thing is no longer strange to Suzu Sakakihara.

But she didn't expect that in a place like Hokkaido, where birds don't, the Tianhai family actually got involved.

"It's not that the Amami family is interested in this place alone, but that the entire tourism development of Hokkaido is built or participated in by the Amami Group, and the second largest city in Hokkaido, Asahikawa City, is naturally included in it."

Sakakihara puffed out his face, "Isn't Tianhai Group a pharmaceutical group?" Why did you suddenly start real estate development again? ”

Sakakihara smiled and put his hand on her head, "I thought the same way you did, Suzu. ”

At this time, Tianhai Jiuliuli came over and told the two that they were going to continue their departure.

This is the foot of the mountain near the ski resort, which is one of the gathering places for scenic homestays and tourists.

The couple were now heading to a large hotel in the middle of a mountain forest by the lake.

It is built on the hot spring belt by the mountain peak, which is the most distinctive and expensive hotel in the whole scenic area.

As soon as a few people got out of the car, they ran into Miwa Amami, who was waiting for a few people at the door of the hotel.

Sakakihara Suzu saw that the anxious mother first went to blame the old brother who blindly led the way and put everyone in danger, and then set her eyes on herself.

Fortunately, my mother just looked at it once or twice and didn't say anything.

"I know it's wrong."

My brother is still apologizing to my mother.

Forget it, you're fine. It's not good to stay in the mountains for the past two days, right? It was so cold these two nights. ”

Sakakihara Suzu jumped out in time, "This old mother is wrong!" We found natural hot springs in the mountains! I go there to take a bath at night. ”

"Hot springs.?"

Amami Meihe was stunned for three or four seconds, and then her eyes wandered over her daughter, son, and the other three daughters for a moment.

She seemed to realize something.

"So you all soak together in the bath at night?"

Sakakihara Suzu was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect her mother to ask like this, and her face turned red, "That pool is very big, Mom, don't think about it." ”

Sakakihara was quite embarrassed, and subconsciously peeked at the seven bright moons of the sky sea on the side.

Then it was discovered that she was also looking at herself

Miwa Amami breathed a sigh of relief and didn't say anything about it:

"It's good that everyone is back, just rest and rest today, recuperate your spirits, and the New Year will be in two days. Let's have a meal here again for the New Year. ”

"Is this the New Year?" Suzu Sakakihara asked immediately.

"It's at the hotel, let's have a meal together and have a reunion."

*

To spend the New Year at Lake Kussharo.

It didn't matter where Sakakihara spent the New Year, but he found that he hadn't prepared his New Year's gift this year.

Ah Ling, this guy is mocking him for being a miscellaneous fish brother, and he is "losing everything" every year.

In order to celebrate the New Year, my uncle specially rented a large room in the hot spring hotel in the scenic area for everyone to use for the New Year's party.

But for the New Year, you can't prepare for nothing, right?

New Year's decorations, New Year's greeting cards, New Year's dishes, crabs, and special salmon for supermarket year-end promotions should be prepared.

And none of these things.

So, Sakakihara had to ride a motorcycle and go to the city to buy some food and New Year's items.

By the way, he also had to buy a few red envelopes and symbolically send them to Ah Ling Yuki and a few of them.

"What? You want to go with me in July, too. ”

"Hmm."

"Don't you help Liuli's mother prepare for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?"

"They don't need my help for the time being, Suzu and Yuki are watching TV with the heating on in the room."

Sakakihara put on his helmet, looked at the snowy road, and said, "It's also some distance from the city, and it's still cold, so you can just stay in the hotel and enjoy the heating, what are you going to do with me?" ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue frowned, "Just go, don't talk so much." ”

Concerned about you being so fierce

Okay, okay, who called you my second wife?

Listen to you.

"Who is the second wife?"

"Hey, I was wrong."

Either way, it's great to have someone to accompany you to the city.

Liuli also wanted to accompany him, but some things could be purchased in the scenic spot, and she wanted to help her mother, so she naturally lost this opportunity.

Yuki is afraid of the cold, and Suzu is pure laziness.

After a few days in the mountains, she was already frozen by the cold air and didn't want to go out at all.

When July put on his helmet and sat in the back seat of Sakakihara, he immediately ignited the engine, tightened his grips, and began to drive along the road next to Lake Kussharo towards the city.

Drive down the mountain road.

Passing by the lake, it is beautiful, vast and spectacular, and even in winter, it takes on a crystal clear blue.

White geese and tourists' sailboats appear on the lake at the same time, echoing the snow-white mountains behind it, like a paradise.

The scenery is beautiful, but riding a motorcycle against the wind in the cold winter is quite touching, and it doesn't take long to ride on the road before your body shiveres.

Until Tianhai Qi Mingyue reached out behind him and hugged himself.

Even though the actual temperature was only for a moment, my heart still warmed.

The cold wind of the winter moon blew through the gaps in the coat, but a smile couldn't help but flow from his face.

Why has July been so sticky to me lately? Didn't you just go murderous? ”

"Who sticks to you? It's just that I'm afraid you'll die of cold in the car. ”

"I'm starting to be duplicitous again."

Come to the downtown area of Asahikawa City.

Soon the place was still dressed as a red hat + Christmas tree, and after only a few days, the surrounding restaurants and houses were hung with door pines, and the torii gate at the entrance of the small shrine was painted with new red paint, turning into a scene to welcome the new year.

The motorcycle stopped in front of a large supermarket in the city.

A few days ago, there were basically no people in the urban area of Asahikawa City, but now there is an endless stream.

"Take it."

As soon as he got out of the car and took off his helmet, Sakakihara saw that the seven bright moons of the sky were handed him a greeting card with a gorgeous decoration of plum blossoms and pine trees.

"What is this?"

"The first gift of the new year. For you. It contains my New Year's message to you. ”

“.”

Sakakihara hesitated for two seconds before looking at the girl standing in front of him, who was clearly cautious.

"So you want to accompany me to the city in July, just to send me this greeting card?"

"Or else?"

Sakakihara took it from her hand with a smile and asked, "Why don't you wait until tomorrow or tonight for the New Year." ”

"Considering that there are so many people around you, it's better to find a separate opportunity to give away this kind of thing in advance."

It seems that July's careful thinking is that she wants to give this thing to herself

Greeting cards look exquisite.

Gilded plum blossoms and pine trees hover on both sides of the greeting card, and in the middle of the greeting card, there are several large characters "Congratulations on the New Year".

You don't need to read it to know that the letter in the greeting card was definitely written by hand in July.

"What did you write this year?"

"Won't you find out when you go back and open it?"

Sakakihara noticed that her eyes were dodging, "Then can I open it up and take a look now?" ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue paused for a second, slightly brushed away her red cheeks, and then replied slightly: "Whatever you want."

This fierce aunt is still blushing?

After glancing strangely at the girl in front of him, Sakakihara opened the New Year's card that July had given him.

[

Brother, respectfully.

As of the evening of 21 December 2023, the weather had turned cold.

This year's temperature seems to be much cooler than last year's. When I took out the pen and paper, I could feel a more pronounced pinprick sensation than last year. That's why when I tried to write this year's blessing to my brother, I couldn't put pen to paper.

I tried to think about whether there were any gaps or omissions in my brother's life that I needed to remind or pay attention to.

But unfortunately, I couldn't think of this question for a long time.

This means that during this year, the elder brother's life has become happy and happy, and there is no longer a need for external forces to remind or correct him.

Judging from the letter I sent to my brother last year, he has begun to learn to take care of himself.

So, this time I wanted to write more about things that I never dared to write about, and I didn't want to write about.

]

The beginning of the greeting card is plain, but the rest of the content is quite interesting.

Because the words left in the greeting card are a "love letter" to express emotions and love for yourself.

The content of this part Sakakihara Le looked at it almost word by word, and every time he looked at it, he would glance at the seven bright moons of the heavenly sea. Thinking in my heart that this is something that can be written about in July?

July describes her various thoughts during the year.

Including but not limited to, July's description of her occasionally peeking at herself while she was cooking; When she stays with Liuli, she will be jealous in her heart; She accidentally caught a cold, and she was still thinking about whether to buy herself a medicine in front of her sister;

I haven't been looking for her for a long time, and she still feels lonely all the time, thinking about why she hasn't talked to her yet?

She squatted on the edge of Tokyo Bay that time, and she really wanted to jump.

When he knew that he was really leaving, he was reluctant to leave

Every time she received a gift, she didn't care on the surface, but in private, she could hold the boring gadgets he gave her for an hour or two.

And then he would wonder why he gave it to himself.

The most important thing is that every time she gets angry, she wants him to care more about herself.

On the final signature, there is also a Q version of the Q version of the small shark drawn by July himself.

There is not a single word in this text that says "care", but it is full of care.

This New Year's greeting card is not strictly speaking, but Sakakihara is smiling when he sees it.

Sure enough, the cold July should be so cute.

"What are you laughing at, are these things funny?"

Sakakihara smiled lightly, "Of course." It reminds me of the time when July knitted this scarf for me that I am wearing now and brought it to me. ”

"How."

"I feel that July loves me so much."

"I say something numb all day long."

"Huh? I think July will like it. ”

“.”

"Before that, July would definitely refute me," Sakakihara joked, "Did July take the initiative to say all the actual thoughts in his heart, causing me to completely see through my heart, and I couldn't face it at all?" ”

"Talk less!"

"If July begs me, I will say to you, 'I like you the most July,' it's not impossible."

“.”

"Call me brother."

Think beautifully."

"Call me brother, I'm considering giving you a super large shark doll twice your size as a New Year's gift, the kind you can ride."

"Where is this thing sold?" Tianhai Qimingyue looked at it instantly.

"Don't think about it! Only I know where it is sold, and I will tell you when I call my brother. ”

“.”

"Shout."

“.”

"Quick—"

"Big Brother"

Sakakihara Le suddenly smiled, and reached out to touch the girl's head, "That's right, Sister July is really well-behaved~ How about keeping this title in the future?" ”

You want to be beautiful. So tell me where it's sold. ”

Sakakihara spread his hands, "There is no place to sell." ”

"You lied to me?"

Sakakihara touched his nose and coughed twice in embarrassment.

"What I just meant was that I'd make a similarly sized one for you. Huh! In July, don't do it! If you have something to say, it's good to say! Don't don't, I was wrong! ”
