Because of the topic of family and the interesting stories of childhood, the atmosphere in the car is much better, and there are talking and laughing.

At half past eleven, nearly three hours of driving, can be regarded as arriving at the destination,

"We're here."

As he reversed into the parking space and pulled on the handbrake, Hikaru Kurosawa breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally let go of the steering wheel with both hands.

Although he likes Miss Runa's car very much, he still gets tired after driving it for a long time.

"Thanks, where is this?"

Seeing his relieved look, after Chizuru Ninomiya condoled, he also looked nearby through the car window.

It's an open-air parking lot, and there are a lot of cars nearby, and at a glance, you can't tell where it is.

"One of Nagano's famous scenic spots, the Aji Gorge."

Hikaru Kurosawa unfastens the seat belt and is also introduced.

"Canyon? Sketching by the creek today? ”

It's the first time I've heard of Chizuru Ninomiya, but from the name, you can feel what kind of place it is.

She is not a travel expert, so she doesn't know much about many scenic spots in China.

"Get out of the car."

Hikaru Kurosawa nodded slightly, affirmed the location of the sketch, pulled out the key and closed the car, and pushed the door open.

After getting out of the car, he held his right shoulder with one hand, shook his arm, stretched his muscles, and walked to the rear of the car.

"I'm here to help."

Chizuru Ninomiya, who got out of the car, saw his movements and followed.

This time, they are not just here for tourism, but for sketching, and they must bring painting tools.

By the time she reached the back of the car, Hikaru Kurosawa had already opened the trunk.

She glanced at it, and there were several large bags with a lot of stuff.

At a glance, there is a drawing board, a stand to hold the drawing board, a bag full of small things, and a tightly packed package?

She had taken art classes before, and she had a concept for these things.

"You take this."

Although it is said to be a gentleman, Hikaru Kurosawa only has two hands after all, and he can't take everything in one trip, so he simply hands her the folded fixed bracket.

"I can still take it."

He took the aluminum fixing bracket, which was large but light, and Chizuru Ninomiya clamped it on his waist with one hand and stretched out his other hand.

It's a three-hour drive from Tokyo, and she can't help along the way, so she can only watch.

In contrast, Kurosawa was already tired from driving Runa's car for so long, and it was her turn.

"Then I'm bothering you."

Hikaru Kurosawa saw her movements, thought about it and was not polite, and handed her the bag containing various painting tools.

This bag contains small things such as paintbrushes, drawing paper, and handmade knives, although there are quite a few of them, but they are still relatively light.

Immediately after, Hikaru Kurosawa picked up the rest of the large drawing board and the package, which was quite heavy.

"Boom."

Close the trunk, lock the car, and they started walking.

From the free parking lot, you can go to the Aji Valley in just a few minutes' walk.

"I think you're familiar with this place, have you been here before?"

Because his pace was very comfortable and natural, Chizuru Ninomiya, who was stepping on high heels, carrying a bag, and holding a fixed bracket, strolled with him, looking at the completely unfamiliar environment around him, and was a little curious.

"It's my first time here, and the reason why I'm familiar with it is because I looked up a lot of tips on the Internet before choosing this place. The road in the Asi Valley is easy to identify, just follow the road. ”

Hikaru Kurosawa smiled, he had been immersed in his studies before, and he didn't know a lot about neon.

But now the network is very convenient, and you can basically get anything by checking it online.

"Will there be a lot of people?"

Chizuru Ninomiya nodded and looked around.

There are a lot of people next to him, basically either dragging the family with the mouth, or two by two, there are men and women who talk and laugh, and they should be couples or couples...... There are also some old people.

It's not a lot, but a cursory look at the road shows that there are more than a dozen people.

"It's quite a crowd, after all, it's one of Nagano's most famous spots, not only for locals but also for foreigners.

"Are there a lot of people?"

Hearing this, Ninomiya Chizuru suddenly became a little nervous and uneasy.

Tokyo is a three-hour drive away, but it's Saturday, so it's time to have fun.

Maybe at such a distance, the probability of being recognized has been reduced to the minimum, but after all, it is in public or a tourist attraction, and if someone knows her, it will be troublesome.

"The Asi Valley is six kilometers long, and the place is very wide, so we have to find a place with few people on the way, and it is not easy to sketch in a place with many people."

Hikaru Kurosawa was naturally aware of her concerns, adding.

"It's true that a crowded place is too noisy."

Hearing this, Ninomiya Chizuru immediately agreed.

"When you learn that you are going to a place with few people, your first reaction is not nervousness, but peace of mind?" Seeing her reaction, Hikaru Kurosawa was a little amused and thought to herself.

When girls learn that boys are going to take them to places with fewer people, they are usually alert and repulsive.

Because unlike boys, girls are often taught a lot of concepts to protect themselves when they grow up.

If a girl is willing to go with you to a place with few people, it means that you basically have a show.

Even if she doesn't like you, she trusts you very much and is not wary of you, no matter which angle she interprets, it's good.

Soon, they walked towards a bus.

"Do you want a ride?"

"Although the stream is six kilometers long, it is longer if you walk along the road, and it is better to take a car directly to each station."

Kurosawa nodded and took her into the car.

There were already some guests sitting in the car, neon people, and some foreign faces.

With their arrival, everyone looked and watched.

Whether it's Hikaru Kurosawa or Chizuru Ninomiya, the appearance is too good, the key is that he has a special temperament, and his sense of presence is very strong, and it's hard not to pay attention to it.

"Entertainer?"

"Probably not, I didn't see the camera."

There are even boys who think Chizuru Ninomiya is too beautiful and think they are artists, but they are quickly denied by their girlfriends who are traveling with them.

There were a lot of empty seats in the car, and Hikaru Kurosawa found an empty space and asked her to sit in it before sitting next to her.

The gap between the seats was not very large, and the two people sat very close together and did not speak.

It didn't take long for the bus to depart.

Along the way, Chizuru Ninomiya couldn't help but look at the scenery outside the window because it was the first time to come to this place and he hadn't seen the guide.

Different from going to the amusement park, because it is much the same, this kind of tourist attraction is still quite fresh.

As for Hikaru Kurosawa, he was also looking out the window sideways.

To be exact, he was looking at Chizuru Ninomiya looking out the window.

Her side face is beautiful, her ears are delicate and small, her blue hair is slightly curly and wavy, her skin is white and delicate, and her whole body exudes a charming fragrance.

The scenery outside the window contrasts with her like this, and the beauty is like a shot only in a movie.

"You've come right."

Seeing her like this, Hikaru Kurosawa was in a very happy mood.

I have to say that the dating mission is like a beacon that can guide him to experience many things that he didn't think of before.

If he hadn't specified the mission goal, he might not have been able to come to Aji Valley in his life, let alone invite Miss Ninomiya to come with him.

After a short time, when they stopped at the third stop, they got off together.

"Where next?"

Chizuru Ninomiya took the things, looked at the roads along the way, and the buses that were far away, and asked.

"Walk along the way, take in the scenery, and also find a place to stop."

Hikaru Kurosawa said as he looked at his surroundings.

Unlike at the entrance, they came to the mountains and forests as they got off the bus halfway.

There are many trees and valleys as far as the eye can see, and there is a clear and winding stream that can be seen through the leafy forest.

Chizuru Ninomiya could hear what he meant, he wanted to find a good position with fewer people, and nodded tacitly.

The two of them walked on the road, looking at the stream all the way, and they could see people from time to time.

The valley is free and open, no entrance fees are required, and no one cares about you, just that everyone should be aware of the need to consciously protect the environment and not litter.

This place is no different from the valleys in the countryside, it is not overexploited, and it is a natural nature.

Listening to the sound of the stream, Hikaru Kurosawa observed the stream through the leaf forest, and after walking for five minutes, he finally found an open and uninhabited place.

"It's good here, go down and have a look."

Hikaru Kurosawa saw the position and also proposed.

"Okay."

Ninomiya Chizuru nodded slightly, and then followed him into the irregular wild road.

A wild road is a mountain road that has not been developed and is formed naturally.

One of the characteristics of such a road is that it is narrow, steep and hidden.

"Come on."

Hikaru Kurosawa knew that she was wearing high heels, and this kind of mountain road was not easy to walk, so he walked in front and stood firm, so he turned sideways and stretched out his hand to her.

Chizuru Ninomiya, who was trying to walk down, saw him stretch out his hand to him, and without much hesitation, he naturally shook it.

Holding palms together, this is not holding hands, but leading away.

Following behind, Chizuru Ninomiya watched the road and watched him hold his palm, a sense of security welled up in his heart, as well as joy.

In a short time they passed through the woods and the mountain road to the valley.

“……”

Coming to the edge of the valley and stepping on the uneven gravel, Chizuru Ninomiya looked at the scenery in front of him, and was a little trance-like for a while.

It's like a paradise, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, secluded, quiet and comfortable.

The creek meanders down, and the crystal clear water flows through it, and the rocks under the water are arranged in an irregular way, without any decoration, but it gives people a kind of natural beauty.

The flowing water is continuous, and the sound is like a thousand flows, which can wash away all troubles.

How long has it been since she traveled? The last time was a school trip when I was in high school.

She has had family trips before, Hokkaido and Kagoshima, but that wasn't pure tourism.

Because her parents would go there to visit someone, and as for the family trip, it was only incidental.

But this time it's different, she's here to play, and it's with Hikaru Kurosawa.

"It's beautiful here." Realizing this, Chizuru Ninomiya turned her head and looked at Hikaru Kurosawa in admiration.

"It's beautiful, indeed."

Hikaru Kurosawa saw her clear and beautiful eyes, overflowing with joy and admiration, and looked at the stream again, and was in a very happy mood.

Both she and the view here are beautiful.

Three hours by car, seven minutes by car, five minutes on foot, it's really worth it to get to this place.
