"Senior Brother Okuzo, we're here."

Out of the tram stop came three young men in black suits, each carrying several long cylindrical sword boxes on their backs.

Behind the three of them was a tall and burly man in a gray kimono, holding a long knife with a plain shape and a wooden hilt in his arms, on which two characters were written.

His name was Okuzo Taku, and he was the third disciple of the Mountain Child Sword Saint.

The ordinary people who passed by them all subconsciously ignored their weirdness, and it was obvious that they used the same technique as Yasakura Tetsuya.

"Alright, you guys disperse and go find the eldest lady of the Hoshino family, take care to protect her safety, and if necessary, you can restrict her movements."

"Yes!"

The three capable dojo disciples immediately listened to the order, disappeared in a flash, and began to search for the whereabouts of Hoshino Fujiko.

Okuzo stood alone in the square outside the platform, feeling Yuzawa's strange spirituality, and then looked in the direction of Mt. Osawa from afar.

Obviously his vision was blocked by tall buildings, but he seemed to have seen the heavy and cold spirituality in Daze Mountain.

"The mountain, weeping......"

A touch of compassion appeared in his eyes: "No wonder the master told me that the opportunity for me to improve my swordsmanship was in Yuzawa, but if this opportunity is going to brew for such a tragedy...... Whether the gains outweigh the losses.

Why didn't the master solve the problem directly? ”

He took a step, and in a moment he disappeared into the crowd.

……

Keisuke Aoi and his entourage came to the outskirts of Yuzawa and followed the guidance of the travel app to the foot of a mountain.

At this time, the mountain is shrouded in a gauze-like mist, turning the mountain into a misty haze, and when you get closer, you can see the branches and leaves that have been washed by the rain.

After the rain, the air below the mountain became fresher and fresher, giving off a faint earthy smell, and in the meantime, it seemed that the pressure was much less.

Hoshino got out of the car and stayed silently alone, thinking about Keisuke Ao's previous proposal.

Under the premise that she can't influence Keisuke's decision, she doesn't have many options.

She looked up at Keisuke Ao, who was chasing and fighting with Tsukishima and Shiraishi - because when they were under the tree, Keisuke Aoi suddenly shook the branch above their heads.

If Keisuke Aoi is destined to participate in the incident of entering Mount Osawa, then she is undoubtedly the most correct choice to follow Keisuke Aoisuke first.

Even if she is caught in the end, she can rely on the name of the Hoshino family to ensure safety, and Keisuke Aoi may not be alone, he may be able to call in the help of Meiji Jingu.

Hoshino even suspects that this is Keisuke Ao's biggest hole card.

Case......

Is she going to agree to Keisuke Ao's terms?

After the Hoshino family brought the might of the Juggernaut, she reused the power of Jingu to bring her difficult situation back.

Hoshino pursed her lips, she was indeed annoyed and humiliated by the price offered by Keisuke Ao, but it was not as unacceptable as she imagined.

At the end of the day, it's just a set of clothes.

However, she didn't want to bow to Keisuke Aoi like this, or rather, she didn't want to admit defeat completely-

At least fight back against Keisuke Ao!

But in the case that there are no more hole cards in her hand, how she should want Keisuke Aoi to launch a counterattack is a question that needs to be considered.

"Hoshino-san, help us stop Keisuke Ao!"

Aoi Keisuke strode past Hoshino, bringing a fresh breeze that stroked Hoshino's hair.

"Don't run so fast!"

Shiraishi saw that Hoshino didn't have time to react, and suddenly shouted: "Otherwise, I'll let you walk back!" ”

"Doctor Shiraishi, what if I get eaten by a bear halfway through?"

"That's well deserved!"

In the mountains and forests not far away, a few deer were attracted by the sound of their play, poking their heads out of the grass, and from time to time they made a low moan like "Yo-yo".

Hoshino unapologetically said "I'm sorry" to Shiraishi and the others, and was attracted to the deer.

From them, she seemed to feel a little as pure as a weeping.

She loves animals, no doubt.

If she was alone, she might try to get food to the deer, pet their bulging horns, and enjoy their affectionate licking.

- Although, most of the time she is not loved by animals.

She took out her phone, quietly pointed the camera at the deer, adjusted the focus and magnification, and left a few satisfactory photos.

She thought again, no wonder Yuki was able to become good friends with Cryko in the first place, and she really envied the aura of these lives.

The rest of the day, she flipped through a dozen short poems about summer, celebrations, and fireworks.

This book, purchased from a bookstore near the inn, was written by several local poets in Yuzawa.

It wasn't until near noon that the three of them walked out of the forest, their trouser legs all wet.

Shiraishi's bag was improvised, and it was filled with wild strawberries that had been picked from nowhere, and the small fruits were bright and dripping, and they were decorated with rain and dew.

"Hoshino-san, come and try it, it's delicious!"

The three of them brought their bags to Hoshino with anticipatory expressions.

Hoshino was silent for a moment, and the hearts of these people clearly wanted to pull her together to taste how sour these wild strawberries were.

"These strawberries haven't been washed yet." She politely refused.

"It's okay, it's been washed by the rain."

Seeing that she didn't take the bait, Shiraishi personally grabbed a few and stuffed them into her hands.

If Hoshino hadn't been able to hear the voices of others, he would have been bewildered by the sweet smile on her face now.

"That ......"

Hoshino paused for a moment and said, "Let's eat together." ”

Tsukishima: "......"

Shiraishi: "Uh, this ......"

"What's wrong?" Hoshino looked puzzled: "Don't you want to eat?" ”

"Ahaha, of course not."

Shiraishi had no choice but to send a few to his girlfriend and the ambiguous object with a stiff expression, innocently bearing the fierce gaze of the two.

- She just wants Hoshino to turn her mind around! What's wrong with her!

……

Finally, at the end of the morning, it was the four of them who ate these sour wild strawberries together.

Shiraishi and Tsukishima chewed for less than two bites, and immediately stuck out their tongues, their faces bitter.

Aokeisuke secretly played a trick and didn't eat at all - he had just been fooled and was ruthlessly deceived by Shiraishi.

Only Hoshino didn't even frown, his face was as usual, twisting his fingers and eating the fruits in his hand one by one.

"Thanks, it tastes good." She looked at Shiraishi and Tsukishima with sincere eyes, inflicting an even stronger sense of guilt on them.

"Ahem...... Right? ”

Shiraishi humbly hid his bag behind him: "Keep the rest for me to make jam." ”

Tsukishima was a little speechless, and he was surprised that the pampered chaebol lady could endure a sour taste that was more difficult to taste than a lemon.

"It's really good." Keisuke Aoi also interjected with a smile: "It smells of nature." ”

Hoshino looked at him again, not to expose Keisuke Aoi's tricks, but just now, she suddenly realized the way to fight back against Keisuke Ao-

As long as he was in front of Shiraishi and Tsukishima, there was always a time when he had to swallow the fruit.

"Member Keisuke Ao, if you like the taste of nature, why don't you just dig some soil and eat it?"

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