On the second day of arriving at Hirayu Onsen, Naruse woke up early in the morning.

Before going to breakfast, he went to soak in the hot springs for a while. Back in the room, Naoko had also woken up and was looking out the window in a daze.

Glancing at the mobile phone left on the pillow, he sat down, "I woke up early to make a soup, and I felt that the whole person was refreshed." ”

Naoko crawled over, got into his arms, and looked up at him.

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

Her long jet-black hair fell behind her shoulders and ran down the back of her hand, and Naruse lowered her head and sniffed her scent.

"That's better sleep...... And you can't soak them together. ”

There are so many guests at this inn that there are people soaking in it almost every moment except for the hot spring cleaning time, no matter how early or late it is, there is no chance of venturing and looking for excitement.

Naoko puffed out her mouth, didn't say anything, hugged him and got up after being close to him for a while.

"Is Auntie up?"

"Not yet, I just knocked on the door and no one answered."

"I should have gone to bed pretty early last night......"

They arrived here yesterday, soaked in a hot spring, had dinner, and then walked around the hot spring town, and went back to the hotel to rest in less than half an hour. And Matsu Chiaki and Miss Sato also drank some wine at night, so they shouldn't sleep too late.

After Naoko finished washing, the two went to knock on the door together, but there was still no response from inside.

"Could it be that you are going to the hot springs too?" Naoko suddenly thought of another possibility.

Naruse leaned on the door and listened, "It's possible." ”

And when they went downstairs to the restaurant, Song Qianqiu and his assistant were already sitting here for breakfast. The hair was slightly damp, and it could be seen that the two of them had just finished soaking in the hot springs.

"Rise up too."

"Good morning." Naoko greeted.

"Good morning." Song Qianqiu smiled at her, "It's really comfortable to get up in the morning and soak in the hot springs." ”

Naoko glanced at her boyfriend again, and then sat down to eat breakfast.

"Ah, there's also Pakiha in the morning...... The taste will not be too strong. ”

"It's just such a small portion, it should be eaten as a side dish with rice."

The taste of Pu Ye Yaki was salty, so Naruse ate a little bit of rice and took a sip of miso soup.

"Well, the miso soup tastes good."

There was also fruit jelly as a dessert for breakfast, and after eating it all, several people went back to their rooms to change their clothes and started today's play.

Driving out of the hotel, Naruse sat in the back seat, looking out the window as the sun was rising and the hazy mist in the mountains was quickly dissipating.

Leaving the hot spring town, passing a hydroelectric power station and a bridge, the car quickly went deep into the mountains.

The jungle on both sides is vast, and the small rays of sunlight either cast through the gaps between the branches and leaves, or illuminate the green leaves. The sky is blue, and even the mood becomes refreshing.

"Good weather." As soon as Matsu Qianqiu got into the car, he removed all his camouflage and opened the window at this time, breathing in the fresh air deep in the mountains.

"yes, it's not too hot." Miss Sato, who was driving the car, said.

Naruse retracted his gaze, "Tokyo is already heating up right now." ”

"At this time last year, Harumi was still in Tokyo, have you forgotten?"

"I don't go out at that time."

Song Qianqiu turned his head and glared at his son, "I'm still proud." ”

"If it's too hot, I can't stand going out." Naoko smiled.

Song Qianqiu looked at her again, "You are in the countryside, and the temperature is actually not low, but it is much more comfortable than in the city." ”

"Yes."

"But it's not the hottest yet......

"Will you come back in a while?" Naruse asked suddenly.

Song Qianqiu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Does Chunhai want me to come back?" ”

In a little while it will be Obon, and she will also have a few days off to rest.

He looked out the window again, "Whatever you want." ”

"Really...... Not frank at all. ”

"It depends."

Song Qianqiu glanced at Naoko, who was about to speak next to him, and continued: "If there are no other arrangements, I will come back." I'll greet you in advance. ”

"Okay." Naoko answered.

She knew in her heart that her boyfriend wanted her mother to come back during Obon, and she herself wanted to keep her distance because of the pressure she had to get along with.

It's only been a few days, that is, I'm a little shy and not used to her gaze now, and I'll get better by then...... Naoko comforted herself in the bottom of her heart.

After glancing at the two children a few more times, Song Qianqiu turned back and continued to look at the scenery on the side of the road.

Miss Sato glanced at the boss's face, and found that most of the ease had faded, and her face was more thoughtful.

Sure enough, being a mother has to worry about all kinds of big and small things...... She sighed in her heart.

"Sigh what?"

"It suddenly occurred to me that my youth had been spent in the office, and I still don't have time to find a boyfriend or anything."

"Is this the topic of today's wage increase?"

"Yes, did it make you feel a little compassionate?"

"I remember a young boy who joined the office last spring and was very interested in Yoko."

"Ahh......h That's it. ”

"Doesn't it look pretty good, you seem to have worked together a few times at work, and you don't get along?"

"No money."

"If that's what you think, it's hard to find."

"So my plan is to make myself rich first, so that the conditions for finding a boyfriend can be relaxed a little, just be handsome."

"It's all coming back for you...... Okay, I'll talk to the office about it later. ”

"Thank you boss!"

It was only about a twenty-minute drive from the hotel to the cable car station where they were going, and Miss Sato drove neither fast nor slow, and it took half an hour to arrive.

There are several parking lots near the cable car station, so you can find a place close to park your car, next to the rushing Kamata River.

"Miss Song, sunglasses! Masks! ”

Seeing that Song Qianqiu directly opened the car door and got out of the car, the assistant lady immediately shouted.

"Oooh...... I almost forgot. ”

Returning to the car and arming his face again, Matsuchiaki greeted his son and his girlfriend, who were looking at the river next to him, and the four of them walked into the cable car station together.

"I can store my luggage on the first floor."

"It's a burden to take the cable car...... And also collect money. ”

The place to buy tickets was on the second floor, and Naruse went to line up and bought four round-trip lift tickets.

As long as you are an elementary school student or older, you will have to buy an adult ticket, which costs 2,900 yen for a round trip.

It was still early, but there were quite a few people who came to line up, and it took a while for their turn to wait.

Naruse lined up in front of the three people, relying on the tall and big horses, and squeezed hard to let the three people behind him stand close to the landscape position next to him.

He himself stood behind Naoko and looked out.

The cable car slowly ascended, and soon left the cable car station on the ground and climbed to Nabehira Kogen Station, which is in the middle.

Away from the earth, rising to the sky, the lush mountains and forests are at their feet, and looking around, the mountains seem to be slowly squatting down in front of them.

Naoko stared outside, her eyes straight, inevitably a little scared, and she was a little relieved to cling to his body.

"It's so high......"

"Where will I go, and I will reach the top of the mountain in a while, and the elevation is more than 2,100 meters."

"You can see far away."

"Hmm."

After a while, the ropeway entered the station, and several people came out of Nabehira Kogen Station and went straight to Shirakabadaira Station, which reached the top.

However, when I entered the station, on the whiteboard used to display information next to the queuing passage, there was a "bad" posted on the back of the [Vision] column.

"Isn't the weather at the top of the mountain good?"

Naruse frowned, "Let's go up and have a look." ”

Queue up, wait, get on the cable car, follow the cable car to the top over a mountain range, and the situation at the top also appears in front of the passengers of a cable car.

"It's cloudy, and the situation is not very optimistic."

"Sure enough, yesterday's rain clouds haven't completely left......"

"It's beautiful, too."

"That's what I said......"

The passengers in the carriage were talking, and Naruse could only sigh as he looked at the top of the mountain covered in clouds and mist.

Song Qianqiu turned his head to look at him, and suddenly raised his hand and grabbed his hair.

Moments later, the cable car broke into a cloud of mist and stopped at the cable car station at the top of the mountain.

Located on a mountain at a height of more than 2,000 meters, the cable car station has five floors and serves multiple functions: the first and second floors are used for the cable car station, the third and fourth floors are used for shops and restaurants, and the fifth floor is used for the observation deck.

Facing the wind to climb the observation deck, Naruse walked to the guardrail, surrounded by white fog and mountains obscured, and only the shadows of the trees could be hazy.

Song Qianqiu and the assistant simply didn't come up.

Naoko was not in a hurry to go down, took his arm, and stood next to him.

"It's a little cold."
