Before dinner, Keisuke Aoi first tried out the private bath in the room, which was not large enough to accommodate almost two people to stretch out.

However, the bottom and walls of the pool are stone tiles, which are very comfortable to lean on.

"Hmmm......"

He relaxed, his consciousness half-asleep.

"Listen to me......"

A mournful murmur came from his ears, a hazy dream that enveloped him, but was rejected by the Demon King's own spirituality.

"Listen to me......"

"Ding-dong-"

On the edge of the pool, a chime came from the mobile phone.

Keisuke Aoi opened his eyes calmly, raised his hand to bring the phone into his hand, and glanced at it that it was Reina Kobayashi who had sent him a message.

Keisuke Aoi:

Keisuke Aoi typed with a smile:

Two minutes later, Reina Kobayashi, who was reinvigorated, said:

Keisuke Ao's noncommittal attitude annoyed Kobayashi greatly, and he sent more than a dozen hippopotamus emojis in a row to show his dissatisfaction.

Keisuke Aoi had no choice but to add:

Xiao Lin's attention was really twisted all of a sudden, and he directly ignored the meaning of his words.

Reina Kobayashi curled up in the bathtub, eating and laughing.

Her double ponytail was coiled into a ball-headed head at this time, her face was red from bathing, only her fair and small neck and shoulders were exposed on the water, her skin was fine and pink, and most of her chest was hidden in the water.

The water in the bathtub reflects the bright lights in the bathroom, and when the girl's delicate body moves, the rippling water surface is full of golden broken waves, making it impossible to see the underwater picture at all.

Rina Kobayashi was annoyed and angry:

Keisuke Aoi asked noncommittally:

Well......

If you ask like this, why are you embarrassed to speak!

Rina Kobayashi shyly kicked the water twice, allowing the hot water to rush out of the edge of the tub and onto the bathroom tiles.

She changed the subject angrily, not daring to continue the conversation on this issue.

Keisuke Aoi added, but he didn't really have much to think about the trip, especially when he recalled it later, so it was difficult to relive the feeling at that time.

On the contrary, I remember everything I said to Hoshino very clearly, but it doesn't seem to be very suitable to share with Reina Kobayashi.

Qing Keisuke simply sent her some photos taken today and asked her to look through them for herself.

"Reina, don't stay in the water and play with your phone!"

"No~Mom~"

"If you soak for too long, your skin will be prone to wrinkles."

"Really, don't scare me!"

"Hurry up and finish soaking it for me!" Mom's voice suddenly became stern.

"Got it!" Reina Kobayashi immediately confessed.

The two ended chatting, and Kobayashi deeply regretted that he couldn't use the video call to get a glimpse of Keisuke Aoi's figure.

Keisuke Aoi stretched his body, and soon received the news that Hoshino was telling him to go to dinner, so he also got up to wipe off the water droplets on his body, changed into a new yukata, and prepared to go out.

Yuki is still nowhere to be seen, and it seems that this mountain has made it a little more enjoyable.

Keisuke Aoi only had a cursory perception of Yuki's state, and after confirming that his number one subordinate had not suffered an accident and died early, he stopped paying attention.

He met Fujiko Hoshino in the restaurant, and the girl's hair was still a little wet, hanging down one by one, to the shoulder.

On the neckline of the yukata, you can see half of the white collarbone.

Further down was her slender body sitting at a low table.

Keisuke Aoi nodded at her and sat down across from Hoshino.

"President, do you need help blowing your hair?"

“…… No, you don't. ”

"It's not the kind of thing that holds your hair in your hands and uses a hair dryer to dry it for you."

"No, I don't."

This is the end of the boring conversation, and it seems that Miss Hoshino-sama is not interested in talking about it now.

Qing Keisuke simply took out "Snow Country" and continued to read down.

Hoshino listens to his views on the characters while he reads them, so that she can secretly instill in Keisuke Aoi the ideas she wants to give him.

When Keisuke Aoi reveals that she is emotionally dull and conservative, she begins to prepare to influence him.

The entanglement and pain of the male protagonist in multiple relationships in Snow Country can be a good catalyst for Keisuke Ao's thinking about this.

Dinner is still a delicate meal, and Keisuke Aoi told the receptionist that he would prepare an additional supper in the evening.

"We'll let the kitchen know."

After dinner, Keisuke looked at the night sky outside the box and came back to his senses, they had eaten late in the evening, and now it was past the time to take a walk, and the clouds were thick tonight, and it looked like it was going to rain.

Fortunately, Tsuruyu is located in the mountains, so the entertainment facilities are very well prepared, and there are special entertainment rooms.

"President, what are you going to do at night?"

“……”

"How about playing table tennis?"

Hoshino glanced at him, this monster is embarrassed to ask her to play this kind of sport?

"Or mahjong?"

She is sure that she will abuse anyone in this game...... But why bother in vain?

"I'll go back to my room."

The girl got up and left with a cold face.

Aoi Keisuke sighed, didn't force it anymore, took the book himself, went to the chair next to the hall and continued to read.

The chair is a small square table with floor-to-ceiling glass windows on one side and a corridor on the other.

The receptionist came over and brought him a cup of tea, he thanked him and began to concentrate on reading.

From time to time, some people in the corridor stopped because of him, but they were reluctant to spoil the atmosphere and picture of his reading, so they hesitated.

Some tourists sat down at other tables and chatted in low voices.

I don't know when, but a light rain began to fall outside the window, and the mountain rain fell, lapping the green leaves on the canopy, making a sound that made people feel comfortable.

The hotel became more and more lively, and some people came out to see the rain scene of Mt. Osawa.

Tsuruyu simply turned on the night lights in each courtyard to make the night view more beautiful, and some tourists held up paper umbrellas and wanted to go outside for a night trip, but were immediately stopped and told of the danger.

Aoi Keisuke quietly turned the page, the story of Snow Country was about to come to an end, and the sad atmosphere had really spread.

It's as if this rain, something is about to erupt with full emotion.

"Mr. Qinggui, you are really fascinated!"

Momoko sat across from him and said with a smile.

“……”

Keisuke Aoi blinked twice, snapped the book shut.

"Ah, sorry, did I bother you?"

"What's the matter, Miss Peach?"

"Didn't you tell the kitchen that you had ordered a supper? I'm here to ask if I need a private room for you. Being looked at directly by Keisuke Aoi, Momoko's voice immediately stumbled a little.

"Hmm...... Send it to my room, trouble. ”

"Then I'll come back and tell you then!"

"yes, okay."

After Momoko left, another person came over and took the place where Momoko had been.

Keisuke Aoi looked up and was surprised to find that it was Sonoko Ozawa.

"I'm sorry, that peach girl doesn't have much eyesight." The proprietress said, "I've been looking at Mr. Qinggui involuntarily since just now, and I don't dare to come and disturb me. ”

"Look at me?"

"Hehe, after all, it's a rare handsome guy."

Ozawa Sonoko covered her mouth and chuckled: "If you put the photos you read here on the website of Tsuruyu, maybe the business will be doubled." ”

"yes......"

Keisuke Aoi nodded noncommittally.

"Why don't you see that companion of yours?" Sonoko Ozawa asked curiously.

"Maybe I'm too tired from playing during the day."

"Ahh

Ozawa Sonoko said with pity, "That's a pity, the rain scene of Mt. Osawa is great, this is the best location, and I used to like to sit here and listen to the sound of rain when it rained." ”

"Does Ozawa like rain?" Aokeisuke asked.

"Hmmm......"

Sonoko Ozawa looked like a little girl, and then said with a smile, "As a shop owner, I should expect a sunny day, but I like it to rain myself." ”

"Really?" Keisuke Aoi looked out the window, with a hint of amazement in his tone: "How do I feel, but it's like this mountain is crying?" ”

"Huh? Yes! ”

Ozawa Sonoko looked panicked for a moment, but he was not seen by Keisuke Ao.

"How could Mr. Qinggui think so?"

"Sorry, maybe because I was reading a book."

"Ah...... It's Snow Country, no wonder. ”

"How's Mt. Osawa in winter, Ozawa?"

"Oh, it's snowing, and it's white everywhere."

Sonoko Ozawa took out her phone and showed him the snow scene she had taken last winter.

"Amazing, right? If you don't hire someone to shovel snow, you are afraid that the roof will collapse. ”

Sonoko Ozawa chatted with Keisuke Aoi for a while, picked up the tea that had cooled on the table, and said to go and change it for him.

"I'm tired."

"It's okay, just take it as a thank you for Mr. Qinggui's willingness to chat with me."

When she came back, she simply brought Zisha's tea set over and wanted to make tea for Qing Keisuke to drink.

Peaches sent a pot of hot water with a bitter face.

"Please."

"Thank you."

There were guests around who came over to ask for tea, and Ozawa Sonoko didn't refuse to come, pouring them a cup.

"Would you like to call your companion over for a drink?" Sonoko Ozawa asked with a smile.

"Forget it, she has a big temper."

"Really?" The charm of the proprietress chuckled charmingly: "Such a cute girl should be more considerate and caring." ”

Is it cute?

Aokeisuke took a sip of tea and smiled without saying a word.

After enjoying the rain and tea, Keisuke Aoisuke got up to say goodbye to Sonoko Ozawa and returned to his room to wait for supper time to arrive.

Keisuke Aoi placed the book on the low table next to the observation deck, took a picture of the book cover and the rain-drenched window, and then posted it to his own news, with the text:

Originally, I disliked the words that were typed too pretentiously, but it didn't seem to be to the point of being unsightly, so I kept it, which was a clumsy imitation of this.

Taking advantage of this time, he finished reading the rest of the plot of "Snow Country", until the protagonist once caught a glimpse of the girl Leaf on the train, and the heart-pounding girl Leaf fell from the flames, and after a short moment, the whole poignant story came to an abrupt end.

“……”

Keisuke Aoi flipped through the last part twice, and then looked at the news he posted, and it didn't seem to be without merit.

He then took out the sake, took out the white porcelain cup from the cabinet and began to sip it.

Then again, this ...... It doesn't seem to be a book to read when traveling, right?!

"Mr. Sawaki, please help urge the kitchen to prepare supper quickly, you can come over and drink, go directly to my room."

"Okay!"

The middle-aged man who had been waiting early received the call and immediately took his own initiative, and within a few minutes, he knocked on the door of Keisuke Ao's room with a plate of snacks and food.

"Oh, good evening, Brother Qinggui."

"Good evening."

"I'll bring the edamame first, will you eat it?"

"Of course, please take a seat."

When Sawaki Daitomo saw the sake on the table, his eyes lit up - Aoi Keisuke naturally wouldn't be stingy, just by looking at the brand, he knew that it was all high-end and good wine.

Edamame is simply boiled, but it goes well with a refreshing and soft sake.

"Can I turn on the TV?" Sawaki Otomo took a drink before asking.

"Yes."

"When you drink, you always feel more lively to be happy, even if it's just a TV." Sawaki Daitomo made a bold statement in line with his age: "What to see? Baseball games? Football? Or a late-night show? ”

Keisuke Aoi waved his hand, signaling him to be free.

In the end, the TV was playing a cool beautiful girl show, not to mention anything else, the atmosphere of the guests was indeed quite warm.

Wine should go well with food, and food should harmonize with the taste of wine, it seems to be ...... The environment should also match, right?

Aokeisuke looked out the window, feeling that it was indeed a mistake not to express his opinion just now.

After a while, a waitress came over to deliver food.

Crab steamed eggs, grilled flavored beef slices, seafood salad, chicken skewers, and plates of delicate and delicious wine supper are served, and if you want to be more sophisticated, you have to divide the flavor and taste of sake into four categories to match dishes, but if you are so particular, it will affect the mood of drinking, so no one cares about this problem at all.

"Brother Qinggui, I toast you!"

"Come on."

As the wine got hotter, Sawaki Daitomo unconsciously talked more and more, and he didn't need Keisuke Aoi to deliberately talk about it, so he began to talk about the secrets of Dazeshan himself.

"We ...... They are all cursed sinners. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
