Wow - Wow -

Listening to the sound of the waves, Hikaru Takikawa woke up.

Her eyes were half-open and half-closed, and the attraction between the upper and lower eyelids was at its greatest of the day, testing her will like a torment.

And when she opened her eyes, she caught a glimpse of the morning light shining on the wall, and she quickly became awake.

Turning over and getting out of bed, she walked barefoot to the window and pulled it open.

The sound of the waves becomes clearer.

And the distant sky seemed to be close in front of us, and a round of red sun had broken free from the embrace of the ocean and slowly rose, and the sun was shining.

"Ha ......"

The tide rises, the tide falls, and in a yawning time, the morning sun rises a little. The red light is fading, and the rising sun wheel is rapidly transforming as a target that people cannot see directly.

Click!

Taking a picture of the sunrise, she also saw the time on her phone.

"It's ...... early"

She fell back into bed, neatly giving up her resistance to drowsiness.

Wow - Wow -

The window was not closed, the sound of the waves was clearer in her ears, and she dreamed that she was sitting in a small boat, rising and falling with the waves.

As far as the eye can see, there is only the ocean.

I don't know how long I have been wandering, but the shadow of land seems to appear on the horizon. But no matter how hard she paddled or went with the flow, she never came close.

She lay down, and the boat beneath her somehow turned into a bamboo raft again, and a slightly larger wave would crash against her.

If the waves are bigger, they will be beaten...... Thinking like this, the front of the raft suddenly sank down.

She raised her gaze, and the waves, two or three meters high, had already been photographed on the bamboo raft.

The world is spinning.

She couldn't grasp anything, she couldn't see anything clearly, the bottom of the sea was dark and chaotic, and she couldn't help herself.

Floating and chaotic, she gave up the struggle, only to find herself back in the original boat.

The sky is shaking, and the shadow of the land is still unreachable.

After a long time, the boat under him finally stopped shaking, and the clear sound of the waves still echoed in his ears.

There is also the sound of an alarm clock.

“……”

After turning off the alarm clock and looking at the bright room for a while, Hikaru Takikawa sat up.

This time it's really sober.

She's getting up.

Squinting at the sun, which had risen in mid-air, she packed up her things and went downstairs to wash.

The hostel is run by an elderly couple and she was the only one staying yesterday. The package of the accommodation only included one dinner, perhaps because of the two or three hours of chatting and companionship last night, the two elderly people were very happy, and they still prepared breakfast for her.

After breakfast, Hikaru Takikawa sat in the courtyard of the hotel and looked at the sea for a while, then said goodbye to the two old men, got on the car and continued to set off.

Riding five or six hours a day and walking along the coastline as much as possible is her plan.

Sometimes, though, when she gets to interesting places like Lake Toya, Lake Shikotsu, and Noboribetsu Jigokudani, she takes a detour to see it before heading back to the beach and continuing her journey.

After leaving the Hidaka area, most of the places along the way in the next few days were only mountains and seas, and in order to find a place to stay, she may ride more or less every day.

Places to eat have become less easy to find.

"What kind of poor place is this......

The oncoming sea breeze kept blowing on her mask, and she looked ahead, occasionally glancing at the mountain wall to the left, or at the rocky shallows to the right.

On the first day of cycling, she also likes to wear her helmet open and feel the sea breeze directly on her face.

And when I woke up the next morning, my face began to peel. She had to honestly pull off the mask - she just didn't like dressing up, but that didn't mean she didn't care about her face.

After departing from the hotel, the journey was unimpeded.

Occasionally, large and small cars would catch up from behind, and sometimes she would overtake the cars in front of her, and most of the time, she kept riding at a constant speed, and speed was not her pursuit.

After riding along the coastline for about two hours, and seeing a lot of buildings in front of him, Hikaru Takikawa pulled over and opened the map on his phone to take a closer look at the surroundings.

If there was no place to eat far ahead, she would have solved it here first. Although not very hungry now.

"It's so here, no wonder so many houses pop up all at once...... Hmm, McDonald's?! ”

Confirming that the shop was still open, she cheered and immediately set off for that direction.

After riding a little further, she also saw a giant McDonald's billboard on the side of the road.

"1.4 km ahead......"

As soon as the throttle is twisted, this distance is there in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the store was still open made her truly relieved, and then a wave of joy came over her.

Slowing down, she pulled to the side, only to notice that there was also a large motorcycle parked next to her, estimated to have a displacement of more than 1000cc.

Walking into the store, she also saw another rider in a cycling suit, a middle-aged uncle.

I used to order, because she wasn't hungry yet, she just wanted a burger and a glass of Coke.

There were plenty of seats in the restaurant, so she sat down and snapped a picture of the burger before nibbling on it.

"Hmm...... It's so delicious, I'm going to cry......"

After digesting the satisfaction of the first bite, she was not in a hurry to finish it, took another bite, and then sent the photo to the group.

Light: Reward yourself with a burger.

Naruse: Is there still McDonald's over there?

Light: It's amazing, isn't it?

Starfish: Is it just a burger?

One leaf: A hamburger with a cup of Coke can deal with a day.

Starfish: One day is too exaggerated......

The time to eat is also the time for her to communicate with her companions, after all, it is not only the body that needs to rest, but also the spirit...... Although sometimes it is not possible to relax mentally.

Naoko: [Picture]

In the past two days, when she sees any photos sent by this name, her heart will always jump inexplicably.

Fortunately, all she posts now is landscape photos.

I clicked on it and looked at it, and it seemed to be a valley.

Naoko: It's time to go to Kamikochi.

She posted a few more photos of the beautiful valley taken by train or bus along the way. The mountains and clear waters, the clouds and mist visible to the naked eye are floating in the mountains and forests, and it is raining.

Hikari: It's raining, huh?

Naoko: I only got up when I went out in the morning.

Hikari: Can you still play then?

Chunhai: It's not a big problem, it's fresher when it's raining.

Naoko: We also brought umbrellas.

The burger in her hand was quickly finished, and she drank her Coke and froze for a while.

Do you want to rest a little longer, it's still early.

But she was afraid that she would keep resting.

Click!

She took a picture of the finished Coke and posted it to the group, and she also stood up.

Hikari: I'm done eating, and I'm ready to go.

Chunhai: Be careful on the road.

The corners of her mouth curled.

Hikari: [OK!] ]

I grabbed my helmet and went outside, and the rider I had noticed when I entered the store had not left, and was lying upside down on his big motorcycle, with his feet cocked.

Hikaru Takikawa got into the car and was just about to reverse and leave, when the man suddenly spoke:

"ZX-4RR, it's not bad, it's just a little smaller. How much did you buy it? ”

Hikaru Takikawa turned his head to look at him, and saw that he was staring at him, making sure that he was talking to himself.

"I forgot."

She put on her helmet, and the man spoke again.

"If a girl rides, it's pretty much the same." The man sat up straight, "But with this displacement, I still prefer the Z400." ”

Hikaru Takikawa smiled and didn't say anything.

"How many yards do you usually run?" The man asked again.

"Less than fifty yards." She checked the gear all over her body.

"It's too slow. If the speed does not go up, you can't play the value of this car, so it is better to buy a Z400. ”

"It's too fast to be safe."

"Hah! Why don't you buy the original payment if you are afraid of danger? ”

"You can't take anyone with you."

"Hmm......"

The man groaned for two seconds, and suddenly got out of the car, "You take my brother for a run, and my brother will give you some advice." You're having a bit of a problem with your riding position. ”

After confirming that there was no problem with the knee pads being fixed, Hikaru Takikawa glanced at him.

There is a horizontal face in the helmet, and she doesn't seem to see the hair just now, and she is old enough to be her father, so she is really embarrassed to call herself "brother"......

"No need."

"You just bought this car not long ago, right? I can see that the car is not running in enough, and the same is true for people, you shouldn't ride this kind of bike at your age. ”

"It's not my car."

"Whose is that?"

"Friend...... Boyfriend's car. Hikaru Takikawa said, his face slightly unnatural.

"Then your boyfriend doesn't understand it at all."

“……”

Hikaru Takikawa raised an eyebrow.

After looking left and right, she didn't see the surveillance, and she looked at the uncle in front of her again.

"What kind of car are you?"

"Can't you see this? Z1000！ ”

"Take a ride and see."

He got on, stood up, spun around in front of McDonald's, and then stopped next to her and got closer.

That's just the ......

"Can you let me try it?" She asked again.

"Okay. But my car is much heavier than yours, so be careful. It's okay if the car is reversed, but it's not good if the person is pressed. The uncle reminded as he got out of the car, "The girl's strength is already small. ”

“……”

Hikaru Takikawa was silent for a moment, and suddenly put away the idea of kicking over and running.

Looking down at her "boyfriend's" car, she sighed again.

What the hell are you worried about......

"Forget it."

She pulled down her mask, "No, I'm leaving." ”

"Huh? Where are you going, we can stop by and ...... together."

"Hakodate, my boyfriend is waiting for me in front."

"Goodbye."
