Shirakawa Kaede, who didn't know that he had a cheap uncle, had arrived in Hakodate in Hokkaido with Asuka Kobayashi at this moment.

That's right, the first stop on this two-person vacation trip was Hokkaido.

For Asuka Kobayashi, who was born in the south, Hokkaido feels like a distant foreign land.

Curious because of the distance, yearning because of the distance.

In terms of neon, the most wanted place in China is, of course, the scenery of the north across the world.

"It's so cold" Asuka Kobayashi, who had just gotten off the plane, rubbed her hands vigorously while wearing gloves.

Feeling a little unpleasant, she turned around and grabbed Shirakawa Kaede's face and rubbed it twice wantonly.

"Eh" Shirakawa Kaede, who was raided, subconsciously shivered because of the coldness of his gloves.

Asuka Kobayashi, who had succeeded in "giggling", jumped away happily, accompanied by a series of silver bell-like laughter at the corners of her curved eyebrows.

At this moment, she seems to be like an ordinary girl in love, a little naughty and a little naïve.

Shirakawa Feng wiped the snowflakes on her face helplessly, and then watched her jump on the street with a smile on her face.

One moment I looked at it curiously, and the other I touched it curiously.

Just like an ordinary girl, she is not a young lady from a certain businessman's house, nor is she the head of the personnel department of Shirakawa Electric.

Is this the most authentic state of Asuka Kobayashi, carefree and innocent.

"It's so beautiful," she smiled, and she opened her arms and walked around the snow-covered streets of Hakodate.

The exhaled white air soon melted into the surrounding snowy scene, and the world returned to cold silence and snow whiteness.

Winter in Hokkaido is a kingdom of snow, and even the railroad tracks on the ground are covered with snow.

The tram passed by with the sound of "Dangdang", leaving two shallow traces on the road, which is the only proof that it has come.

"Shirakawa-kun, let's go too."

Asuka Kobayashi, who couldn't wait, beckoned to him, her pink gloves swaying in the wind and snow.

"Hai~" Shirakawa Kaede walked two quick steps to her side, and then naturally reached out and took her into his arms.

And Kobayashi Asuka was also very happy to lean on him, and the two snuggled up to each other and drifted away in the wind and snow.

Their first stop was Mount Hakodate, a mountainous area located in the western part of the city.

Together with Hong Kong Victoria Harbour and Italy Naples, it is known as one of the world's three major night attractions.

By the time they got on the cable car to the top of the mountain, it was getting late.

Ignoring the biting cold wind from the observation deck, Kaede Shirakawa and Asuka Kobayashi lay on the railing and looked at the city of Hakodate below and shouted.

The yellow strips of lights in the harbor are continuous, and the lights shine even more brightly in the reflection of the surrounding snow.

The stars in the twinkling and glittering night sky reflect their starry light in the world.

Such a beautiful scenery always makes people can't help it, and they vent the depression in their hearts.

After a long breath of joy, both of them gasped for breath, looking at the night scene below in a silent daze.

"Shirakawa-kun"

"Huh?"

"I'm so happy," Kobayashi looked down, letting the ends of his hair fly in front of him.

After this trip, there are no more regrets.

Shirakawa Kaede tightened his arms and hugged her tighter.

"If you want to, you can come back more often in the future."

Asuka Kobayashi smiled and didn't speak.

The night view of Hakodate below is beautiful, but the weather is too cold.

didn't stay long, and Asuka Kobayashi felt a little unbearable.

"Shirakawa-kun, let's go back, I'm a little hungry."

"Good"

The two of them, dressed in winter coats and hats, took the cable car back to the city arm in arm.

They will stay here tonight and continue north tomorrow to enjoy the majesty of Hokkaido.

Back at the hotel, Kaede Shirakawa ordered a table of sumptuous kaiseki dishes, many of which were Hokkaido specialties.

However, unlike his appetite, Asuka Kobayashi sandwiched a slice of tuna sashimi and tried several times but it was always difficult to swallow.

"What's wrong, isn't it unappetizing?" Shirakawa Kaede put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at her with concern.

If he's not mistaken, she used to eat with Asuka Kobayashi, and she liked this dish the most.

"It's nothing, maybe it's too cold."

Asuka Kobayashi swallowed her throat and suppressed the nausea in her heart, and finally she gave up on the dish she once loved.

Since she had no appetite for sashimi, she switched to the fried steak at hand.

Well, it's better to eat delicatessen.

Seeing that she regained her appetite, Shirakawa Kaede was also relieved.

The two of them chatted while eating, and soon the time of the day slipped by, and the night covered the land.

The next day, the two of them, who were still traveling lightly, continued north, and the biting wind and snow could not stop their enthusiasm for traveling.

To the north of Hakodate, another place worth seeing is Lake Toya.

The land and the nearby mountains are covered in snow, but the waters of Lake Toya are still rippling.

However, due to the weather, the lake is white, and it is difficult to see the scenery on the other side.

The two of them floated slowly on the lake on a luxury yacht, the heaven and earth, the lake, the wind and snow, and Lake Toya in winter has a unique charm.

Asuka Kobayashi stood at the bow of the boat, folded her hands and prayed sincerely to the center of the lake.

Shirakawa Kaede stood beside her and watched this scene quietly, not disturbing her.

It wasn't until she lowered her hands and opened her eyes that he leaned over curiously.

"What were you doing?"

The inquiring look made the corners of Kobayashi Asuka's mouth slightly hooked, "Legend has it that making a voout wish in the center of the lake will be very effective." ”

"Eh" Shirakawa Kaede became even more interested, "What wish did Asuka-chan make?" ”

"If you say it, it won't work."

Asuka Kobayashi seemed to be deliberately teasing him, her big black eyes aimed at him from time to time, but she didn't say anything.

Shirakawa Kaede, who was itching, put his arms around her, and then put his cold hands into her warm collar.

"Ahh Asuka Kobayashi exclaimed, and subconsciously clamped his palm to prevent him from continuing to be weird.

Hmm~, it feels really good, it's big and soft.

"Yaga~ You idiot."

Annoyed and angry, Asuka Kobayashi changed her previous image of a lady and unceremoniously revealed his true nature.

can make her give up the image of a lady, which shows how excessive someone has just done, and it is freezing cold to use this way to keep warm.

"Cough, mistakes, mistakes" Shirakawa Kaede withdrew his palm very nostalgically, and the expression on his face was still a little unfinished.

Kobayashi's capital is really the most abundant, and although it is not the first time to experience it, Shirakawa Kaede feels that he will never have a satisfied day.

"Hate" Asuka Kobayashi patted his arm, blushing.

"Be careful" Shirakawa Kaede hugged her and didn't let her move.

It's still snowing, and the boat is so slippery, if you fall or fall into the lake, it's no joke.

Asuka Kobayashi leaned into his arms and hugged his waist tightly.

"That's nice."

"Huh?" Shirakawa Kaede lowered his gaze and looked at her with some confusion.

"It's so different from Kyushu, but it's also very good, and I saw a lot of scenery that I hadn't seen before."

For her, who was born in Kyushu, Hokkaido is synonymous with distant and mysterious.

Now I can finally get a glimpse of its style, and it can be regarded as satisfying the curiosity in my heart.

After all, no matter how much it is described on TV or in the newspapers, it is better to experience it yourself.

"It's just too cold, do you want to keep going north?"

Shirakawa Kaede has a mediocre impression of Hokkaido's scenery, not that there is anything wrong with the scenery here.

But he was born in the Northeast, and he is used to seeing wind and snow, and he has also seen a lot of snow-capped mountains.

Seeing a similar scenery here in Hokkaido again is no longer amazing, at most it is just a little new.

However, Asuka Kobayashi was still in high spirits, and when she heard Shirakawa Kaede's question, she nodded without hesitation.

"Of course, I haven't gone to Sapporo to the north yet."

It's all here, and as the capital of Hokkaido, how can Sapporo not go for a visit.

So the two took the train from Noboribetsu and continued the long-planned journey north.

However, when you arrive in Sapporo, the scenery doesn't attract much for the two of you.

Cities that are too modern are mostly the same, and the snow is just a change of appearance for them.

Except for a Western-style white lover chocolate factory, which made Asuka Kobayashi a little interested, there was nothing else that could impress the two.

As one of the must-have gifts for girls on Valentine's Day, the name of White Lovers chocolate, Asuka Kobayashi has naturally heard of it.

In addition to observing the whole process of making chocolate, there is also an experience room where visitors can make their own chocolates and have photos printed on a special cookie box as a souvenir.

So the excited Kobayashi Asuka pulled Shirakawa Kaede and went straight to the destination upstairs like a gust of wind.

The speed of the two almost collided with the pedestrian on their side, and when the passerby came back to his senses, there was no figure.

"Young people nowadays are always reckless, which is really rude. What should I do if I fall on such a slippery road? ”

A middle-aged lady tightened the scarf around her neck and muttered dissatisfied.

"You said yes, Yuko?"

"Eh" Yuko Tanaka retracted her gaze and looked at her mother in a daze, "What's wrong?" ”

"Hey, where are you thinking about your boyfriend?" The middle-aged lady looked at her daughter with a narrow face.

"Huh?" Yuko Tanaka's face flushed slightly, "What's the matter, it's just that I thought of something else." ”

"If you're in love, you're in love, don't be embarrassed. When can you bring it back for me and your dad to see? ”

"Even if my sister is in love, she will definitely be very secretive, don't forget that she is an artist?"

A young man holding his arm beside them explained very expertly.

The look that understands the king, and those who don't know really think that he is also an insider.

"Hey, mind your own business. If you want to act after graduation, you can run the crew by yourself. Yuko Tanaka unceremoniously interrupted his understanding of the king BUFF.

"Huh? No way. The young man, who was a little chubby on his cheeks, complained very dissatisfied.

He turned to look at Yuko Tanaka, "You're my sister, shouldn't you bring my own brother with you?" ”

's exaggerated expression, he really deserves to be a student of the drama department, and his miserable charm is very well handled.

"Okay, okay" The middle-aged lady had a headache when she saw these two people arguing, and she never stopped since she was a child.

"But Yuko, if you really fall in love and decide to do it, just take it home quietly and let us see."

A middle-aged wife will not interfere with her daughter's feelings, but if she finds someone she wants to accompany for life, why don't you want to meet her as a parent.

"That's it" The younger brother who was helping on the side looked at his sister with a gossip on his face.

Based on his years of experience in being single, it can be inferred with certainty that his sister is in love.

"And you, Ryuzo, remember to bring the girl home when you're in love."

It's good that he didn't mention it, and his mouth attracted the firepower of the middle-aged wife.

"Hai~Hai~" The voice of indifference, the middle-aged lady who listened frowned.

However, Yuko Tanaka nodded very gently and complied with her mother's request.

But she had already gone away, and looked back again at the intersection not far away.

That back just now is really familiar, is it him?
