That's right, Hikaru Kurosawa's performance just now was obviously foot control, and it was purely performed by him.

His purpose in doing this was to make Chizuru Ninomiya feel better and stop dwelling on what had just happened.

When people are found out about black history, they will be ashamed and dare not face the discoverer.

And to solve this problem, it is to let Ninomiya Chizuru find out that he also has a little secret that he is ashamed to be known.

"My sacrifice is great."

Realizing that from today onwards, she will be completely labeled and impressed as foot control in her eyes, Hikaru Kurosawa sighed in her heart.

This is the truth, otherwise, with his ability to lie casually, and his unparalleled acting skills, how could he be so clumsy that people can see through it at a glance.

And such a sacrifice, the effect is also remarkable.

Chizuru Ninomiya realizes that he likes his feet, and his mood is very subtle, a little shy, but more happy.

She didn't get up to leave, or deliberately avoided it, and her feet were back in the water.

Soon, the feet of the two men met again under the water.

“？”

Hikaru Kurosawa looked at her in some astonishment, because she acted very actively, and the soft and elastic forefoot gently stepped on the instep of his foot.

Should I say it or not, this kind of contact is amazing...... It's very different from the feeling of holding hands, especially in this case, it's given more meaning.

Thinking of the meaning of her action, Hikaru Kurosawa's heart beat suddenly.

You know, Miss Ninomiya has a more introverted personality and likes to hide her true emotions, and it is very difficult to get her to take the initiative.

Even when you are alone and can't be seen by others, just letting him hold hands by default is already the maximum before.

But this time, she took the initiative, which is extremely rare.

"Kurosawa, do you have any story about this Aji Valley?"

Looked at by his stunned and delighted gaze, Chizuru Ninomiya found that the effect was so good, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, pretending not to notice what was happening underwater, pulling his bangs with his hand, and asked.

"Judging from the strategy I found, it doesn't seem to have any special story......"

Kurosawa Hikaru's heart beat a little faster, and he enjoyed the small underwater interaction very much, and he also answered the words when he heard it.

It is true that the Asi Valley is one of the neon-lit natural wonders, and for many travelers, it is one of the must-visit attractions in this life. But he searched and searched, and found no story.

"What if there's a story?"

Chizuru Ninomiya looked down at the four feet that were put together under the clear, bright and beautiful stream, raised his head and asked.

"Is there a story? That's what I didn't find. ”

Hikaru Kurosawa was a little surprised, and after thinking about it, it was indeed no such thing.

Actually, he also wanted there to be some story here, so that he could tell Miss Ninomiya as a little knowledge.

But he checked and checked, but he didn't find any allusions, and he didn't even find the reason why this valley was called Asi Valley.

"Really, not?"

Ninomiya Chizuru still didn't react when she saw him, she no longer looked at him, she withdrew her gaze, and the hope in her eyes receded.

"Do you know the story here?"

Hikaru Kurosawa was a little surprised when he saw her reaction, and immediately asked.

Could it be that she knows what the valley has to say?

It doesn't make sense, obviously her performance should be the first time I've heard of this place.

"Do you want to guess?"

Chizuru Ninomiya thought about it, but still didn't give up, and his feet under the water stepped on his instep hard, and then proposed.

Being stepped on by her like this, Hikaru Kurosawa finally looked at the stream in front of him.

Beneath the water's surface, their feet together is a very special experience, although it is not a handshake.

"Ah, it occurred to me that there was indeed a story here." Seeing this scene, Hikaru Kurosawa was stunned, and immediately reacted.

"What's the story?"

When Chizuru Ninomiya heard this, she had some expectation in her heart.

"Once upon a time, this wasn't Nagano Prefecture, and it wasn't called Aji Valley."

Hikaru Kurosawa didn't solve the riddle, met her eyes with a little expectation, thought about it, and then said:

"One day, a handsome and dashing woodcutter with a jade tree in the wind, eight buckets tall, and a handsome woodcutter came to this valley to cut wood."

"How can a woodcutter be a tall man?" Chizuru Ninomiya complained.

Hikaru Kurosawa smiled hesitantly, didn't care, and continued to tell the story:

The woodcutter walked through the steep mountain road and came to the brook, and took off the axe, which was pinned to his waist, and planned to cut down the tree and take it back for firewood.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The woodcutter was very strong and began to cut down at the tree.

But at this moment, a blue-haired beauty wearing a blue dress, one meter seven tall, graceful posture, snow-white skin, like a fairy, beautiful eyes seemed to carry a piece of the sea, wearing rimless glasses, and a cold temperament. ”

"How could there be glasses in ancient times?" Seeing that he was staring at himself to describe, Ninomiya Chizuru suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Kurosawa Hikaru glanced at her and continued:

"The blue-haired beauty ran out, stood in front of the tree, and said with open arms, 'Don't cut it down.'

When the woodcutter saw her standing in front of the tree, he had to stop cutting it, looked at her in bewilderment, and asked, 'Why don't you cut it?' ’

If you cut down this tree, you will cut down the second tree, and so on, and so on, then I ...... That stream is going to die. ’

It's amazing, it turns out that this blue-haired beauty turned out to be a fairy turned into a fairy by this stream, she almost leaked her mouth, but fortunately she reacted in time and did not reveal her identity.

If I don't cut down trees and sell firewood for money, I'll die, I'll starve." When the woodcutter heard this, he was speechless.

Can't you just not cut down the tree? Or go somewhere else and chop it. The fairy of the stream saw that he was fierce and prayed.

'I've all been here, what else am I going to do?' Do you have nothing to do when you are idle? When the woodcutter saw her pitiful appearance, he did not relent.

Anyway, you can't cut down the trees here. The fairy of the stream saw that he was soft, so she simply came to the hard, and said loudly.

'Well, you are so beautiful, be my wife, and I will cut down the tree in another place.' She coaxed her throat, and the woodcutter found that she was in a hurry, so he told what he was thinking.

It turned out that the woodcutter had known for a long time that she was a fairy turned into a stream, and he had seen her prevent trees from being cut down before, and this time he came to ask her to be his wife.

"Huh? Wife for you? When the stream fairy heard this request, she was immediately at a loss.

"Are you my wife? Otherwise, I'll keep chopping. When the woodcutter saw that she was hesitating, he immediately raised his axe and threatened her. ”

"You're so bad." Hearing this, Ninomiya Chizuru couldn't help but say.

"It's the woodcutter who's bad, not me...... Guess what, did the stream fairy agree to this request? ”

Hikaru Kurosawa found out that she was deeply involved in the play, smiled, and said.

"I don't guess."

Chizuru Ninomiya gave him a blank look, this guy is so bad, he could have made up a better story, but it turned out like this.

Even if she doesn't guess, Hikaru Kurosawa made it up here, and she finished telling the story:

After some setbacks, the stream fairy agreed to be his wife...... Later, the woodcutter guarded the stream with her, and it will never change for generations. So until now, the Asi Valley has maintained its original appearance and has not been destroyed. ”

"Who promised."

Hearing this, Chizuru Ninomiya's heart raced a little, and she hummed without turning her head.

"The stream fairy agreed."

Seeing her tsundere's reaction, Hikaru Kurosawa smiled evilly and said.

Obviously, because of the description of her appearance just now, she completely substituted for the role of the stream fairy

"She didn't agree, what kind of story is this."

Ninomiya Chizuru is a little unhappy, obviously it can be better...... Forcing someone to marry him with an axe and force, this guy is too bad.

"This is our story."

Speaking of which, Hikaru Kurosawa is also a showdown.

That's right, even if Aji Valley didn't have a story before this, from today onwards, there is a story about them here.

"......" Ninomiya Chizuru glanced at him, and wanted to continue to deny it, but because of the name of the story, he couldn't say it.

Although the process is not very satisfying, the result is quite happy.

Sure, but she was a little angry at the thought that the woodcutter had threatened the stream fairy with an axe.

"This guy is so bad!" Chizuru Ninomiya looked at Hikaru Kurosawa's evil smile, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she stepped on him hard with her underwater foot to vent her anger.

It's just that this kick, Hikaru Kurosawa is not painful at all, because the power under the water will be weakened by the buffer, which is not so much a punishment as a reward.

The story is quite long, and in the process, the two men sit together on the stone, seemingly keeping a little distance from each other.

But beneath the surface of the water, their feet were always pressed together, and no matter how swift the stream was, they were never separated.

"Kurosawa, isn't it time for you to sketch?" Chizuru Ninomiya decided to change her mood and spoke.

Although you can soak it for a while, it is easy to be wrinkled after a long time, so it will not look good.

"yes, it's time to paint, let's go."

Hikaru Kurosawa also nodded when he heard this.

The task of soaking the feet together has been completed in the process of making up the story just now.

Next, just paint a portrait and you're done with today's date.

When that happens, they'll be able to play as much as they want.

Chizuru Ninomiya pulled her foot back from the water, looked at it without wrinkles, and felt relieved.

"Be careful."

As she stepped barefoot on the rock, trying to stand up, Hikaru Kurosawa moved faster, already fully standing up and holding her arm.

"Thank you."

Chizuru Ninomiya, who was still a little sulky, saw that he was not as savage and violent as the woodcutter in the story, but careful and considerate, and his mood suddenly improved, and he nodded.

Come to think of it, she didn't need to be angry about that story at all, because the woodcutter was the woodcutter, Kurosawa was the Kurosawa, and she wasn't a stream fairy either.

Immediately after, the two of them walked down the rock and began to do today's business.

This trip to the Asi Valley is not just to play, but also to sketch and paint.
