Chapter 3 Departure, Hokkaido

The three of them also went to pack their bags, said goodbye to Hoshino, and waited for her to get on the plane before deciding to leave.

They didn't tell Hoshino about the next trip, lest the eldest lady think too much about it, thinking that she had left her burden.

After leaving the ski resort, the trio took a train and continued north, passing through Yokote City, before arriving in Aomori in the north, where the air was fresh and lush along the way.

Shiraishi and Tsukishima decided to stay here for one night and take the ferry to Hokkaido the next day.

"Yo Xi, tomorrow morning you have to get up to see the sunrise, whoever gets up the latest will be punished!"

"Just you?" Tsukishima sneered, looking very disdainful.

"What's the punishment?" Aokeisuke asked.

"Hmm...... Whoever gets up the latest will have to peel the shell for someone else tomorrow to eat seafood. ”

"You're quite good at choosing." Tsukishima's eyes lit up, and he felt like he was about to burn.

Shiraishi smiled triumphantly, his chin cocked high.

In the evening, they stayed at a guesthouse near the foot of a mountain, near the port, and ate the specialties of the Aomori region, where they put a large scallop base in a casserole, and then added sauces, shallots, tofu and other seasonings.

With salt-roasted beef and venison, the three of them also had a very refreshing dinner.

Early the next morning, Tsukishima was the first to wake up - she secretly pinched Shiraishi's alarm clock before going to bed last night.

The room they live in is a suite, the entrance door is a hall, and there are bedrooms on both sides, separated by shoji doors, which basically only play the role of blocking the view, and at night the breathing is louder, and you can hear the movement next door.

Tsukishima stretched his waist first, straightened his messy pajamas, and then got up and gently patted Shiraishi's face.

"Hey, it's time to wake up, you slacker."

"Huh?"

"Peeling shrimp—"

"Uh-huh???" Shiraishi was triggered by the keyword, and suddenly opened his eyes, and was startled when he saw Tsukishima's smiling face.

"Shhh

The room was still very dark, and the two of them quietly got up from the bed and slowly pushed open the shoji door.

As Shiraishi opened the door, he felt a little weird—

Going to catch Keisuke Aoi with Tsukishima seems to be a bit self-green.

But if she went in by herself, she was worried that the meat buns would beat the dog, and she would not return.

With apprehension, the two opened the shoji door on Aokeisuke's side.

"Huh?"

"What about people?"

In front of the two, there was no figure in the mattress for a long time.

Shiraishi reached out and touched the quilt, and found that there was still a little residual warmth on it, indicating that Keisuke Aoi was not absent all night.

"This guy...... Where did you run before dawn? ”

……

Keisuke Aoi runs on the forest trail in Aomori, a narrow, rugged trail that the mountain people have stepped on, some covered with green moss.

There was a light rain around three o'clock in the morning, and the dark soil was still wet, and it felt like stepping on a soft mat.

The air in the mountains and forests is humid, and when he runs down, he can't tell whether it is sweat or dew on his clothes, but fortunately, the air is fresher, and it is refreshing to run.

He ran as much as he could, gradually surpassing the limits of ordinary humans, as if he had turned into a jumping mountain deer, and before he knew it, he had already run back and forth from the depths of the mountain.

At a glance, he also saw the railroad tracks he had passed yesterday, but he had forgotten which section it was.

It wasn't until he saw the message from Shiraishi that he took a photo of the mountain and started his return journey.

When he was about to return to the B&B, he first used his spirit to remove the water stains on his body and the muddy water on his shoes, so that he could return to a clean and tidy state.

Walking into the B&B, his breathing also returned to normal, and others couldn't tell that he had finished exercising.

"Huh? When did the gentleman go out? The dozing front desk was awakened by the sound of entering the store, rubbing his eyes and asking questions.

"I just can't sleep and go for a walk."

"Ha ......"

When Keisuke Aoi returned to the room, Tsukishima and Shiraishi had already washed and dressed themselves.

"Where did you run away when you posted this picture in the dark?" Shiraishi uses his mobile phone to show the photo Aoi Keisuke just took and complains.

"Hmm...... It's just a walk in the mountains. Given Tsukishima's presence, Keisuke Aoi didn't brag about where he had gone.

Fortunately, Tsukishima didn't think much about it, she didn't know that Keisuke Aoi had a habit of exercising in the morning.

The three of them packed their luggage, checked out early, and paid for the owner of the B&B to help drive them to the port to take the boat.

The car was a two-box pickup truck, and there were some goods in the co-pilot's seat, and Aoi Keisuke and the others simply sat in the back seat.

In that order: Door, Keisuke Ao, Shiraishi, Tsukishima, and Door.

"Guest, how did you catch the ship so early?"

The owner of the B&B is a middle-aged man who yawns a lot while driving.

"We're going to the sea to see the sunrise!" Shiraishi replied energetically.

"Oh......"

This is an activity that is completely beyond the scope of a middle-aged man's interests.

If you talk to him about sea fishing, he might be able to set off overnight and stay up all night guarding the fishing rod.

Then again, the looks of these three guests are truly amazing...... Is this what a neon man should look like?

Tsukishima leaned against the car door, and as the car shook, he unconsciously felt a little sleepy, and this feeling of exhaustion was eighty percent due to the oversized chest.

She listened to Shiraishi's slightly playful voice, and gradually fell asleep again, until her head hit the car window with a "bang", and then she heard Shiraishi's "poof" sound of suffocating laughter.

"Hahaha, Tsukishima Carbon, you're the last to wake up~!"

Tsukishima took a deep breath, his chest bulging in amazement.

It's hard, the fist is hard.

She grabbed Baishi's face and began to rub it left and right, seeing that she refused to beg for mercy, she simply rubbed her well-groomed bob head into a chicken nest.

"I'll fight with you!"

Shiraishi was furious: "I'm going to pour makeup remover on your face!" ”

This slacker who doesn't even use makeup, where does the makeup remover come from?

The corners of Tsukishima's mouth twitched, and he always felt even more annoying.

"Guests, we'll be there soon."

Just when the two were about to fight to the death in the back compartment, the owner of the B&B in front of him spoke up at the right time to stop the dispute, and by the way, wiped the sweat that did not exist on his forehead - the vitality of the young girl seemed to be incompatible with him.

Ay......

Sure enough, only the joy of catching a big fish is the joy that runs through life......

Tsukishima and Shiraishi looked out of the window at the same time, and when they came to the vicinity of the port, there was no shade of trees, and they could already see the dark sea in the distance, and the regular tide was surging.

"Keisuke Ao, look! It's the sea! ”

Chizuru Shiraishi said something that was not nutritious at all, but the excitement made Keisuke Aoi very happy.

He quietly leaned over to Shiraishi's side, leaning against her back, and looking at the window on one side of them.

"Oops, don't squeeze!"

"What? I'm looking at the sea. Keisuke Aoi replied with a smile.

Tsukishima, who was about to stick to the car door, just wanted to get up and give the two bastards a few punches each.
