The restaurant is in "late autumn", and the kitchen is naturally nearby.

In addition to the road from which they came, there are three winding roads outside the "Early Spring" house.

There is a cherry blossom forest at the end of the road leading to "Midsummer", and "Late Autumn" naturally has its own characteristics.

Probably for the ambiance, the road in the courtyard is all dirt. This kind of sand is not the usual mud in the countryside, and it will not be muddy when it rains, not to mention that there are large stones everywhere.

Along the way, you can see many of the more precious black pine trees, some surrounded by wooden fences, others left to grow at will.

In addition, there are many flowers and shrubs, which have been carefully trimmed.

"In late autumn, there is a red maple forest, and if it is full of red, it is no worse than cherry blossoms." Aokora took the initiative to introduce.

It was the first time she had brought a boy to this private courtyard, and it was no surprise that it was also the last.

These were actually written down by her a few years ago, and originally the location next to her should have been Shinsuke Aoku, but he didn't have time to come here in those years, so she forgot about it, and only remembered some amazing scenery.

"Xiao Nai, when was the last time you came?"

Shiina Kiri was pulled forward by the girl, looking at her good-looking back and chatting without saying a word.

Aokora stopped and thought about it seriously. "I forgot, but I remember that the cherry blossoms were still in full bloom at that time."

"It should be March or April."

It's mid-May now.

"That's right." The girl took his hand and continued to walk forward.

The private courtyard was so large that the two of them walked for a while before they saw the second room.

But this room is not among the red maples, as the girl said.

"The maple leaves in summer aren't red." The girl turned her head to look at the trees to her left and right.

The leaves on the treetops are palm-shaped, with elongated lobes and serrated edges.

"I guess it's because there's too much sunshine here."

Yamanashi Prefecture is already sunny, and the anthocyanins in the maple leaves are converted into chlorophyll, so this red maple forest is all green leaves.

However, the young leaves on the treetops are bright red.

"Well, let's get inside."

The girl has always been very cheerful, and she used to lament that the cherry blossom season is actually rare.

On the walls of the room are written "Late Autumn", and the handwriting is not new, some years old.

The two of them changed their shoes at the door and found a maid wearing a kimono.

After some inquiry, they were led around the house by the servant, and after walking for a while, they finally saw the kitchen.

Shiina Kirishi naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to ask, why did he hire so many servants when this courtyard didn't live.

Generally speaking, the more valuable something is, the more it needs to be maintained.

"Alright, you go down first." The girl gave the maid a casual look.

When Aokong Nai said this, she had the taste of a big lady, and that kind of casual temperament can't be cultivated overnight.

"Yes, miss."

When the kimono maid bowed down, the girl looked back at the boy beside her.

"Shiina-kun, I'm in trouble."

She was sweet when she talked to him.

Shiina fog didn't react for a while, and it was really too much of a contrast.

"Shiina-kun?"

The girl shouted again.

"Oh, sorry, just in a daze." Shiina Kiri said apologetically.

"Xiao Nai, you just had a lot of aura."

"Is there one?" The girl blinked, as if wondering what was wrong with her tone.

"Well, let's go inside." Shiina Kiri did not delve into it.

In fact, this kind of behavior is normal, there are definitely a lot of servants in the Qingkong family, if you have to be kind and soft to everyone as the master, it will be so tiring.

Apathy is the normal manifestation.

The kitchen is large, and the utensils on the table are quite complete, and the ingredients are abundant and fresh.

The kitchen was empty, but the ingredients were processed in advance, and it was enough to put the pot down, and it seemed that she had already saved her mind to let him cook.

"Why don't you go out and wait?" Shiina Kiri picked up the apron on the wall and suddenly turned his head and said.

He was afraid that Qing Kongna would not be adaptable, after all, where had the eldest lady seen oil smoke.

"I want to watch Shiina-kun cook, is that okay?" She shook her head, not in the slightest intention of leaving.

"What's so nice about cooking. Okay, just watch it if you want to, don't get too close. ”

"Roger." The girl happily agreed.

Based on the ingredients prepared in advance, Shiina Kiri first made a stir-fried pork with green peppers, and he really liked the dish.

When the green peppers were stir-frying in the pot, he specially called the girl to come and smell them.

As expected, Aokuna lowered her head and sneezed, her nose was actually a little red, and Shiina Kiri laughed out loud very unkindly.

"Shiina-kun, you're too bad... Hello..."

She covered her nose and mouth with her right hand and looked left and right, as if looking for a tissue.

"You can go to the sink and wash it."

Shiina Kiri lifted his chin towards the pool not far away.

The girl did not listen to him, but pulled at his clothes with her free left hand.

"Shiina-kun, shouldn't your boyfriend carry a tissue with him? And oh, can I..."

She reached over his apron with her right hand and wiped it gently.

Shiina fog. “……”

It's hard to imagine that this is a behavior that a well-educated lady can do.

I don't know where she saw these "things that couples can, should, and can't do".

But he didn't pay much attention to it, after all, the apron was not his.

"Xiao Nai, don't you eat spicy food."

The food here in Tokyo is quite light, and the girl's face is so tender and smooth, not like spicy food.

"It's fine."

She leaned sideways and looked at the iron pot, a little curious.

When Shiina Kiri put the dish on the plate, the girl folded her hands and praised.

"Wow, that's amazing! Shiina-kun. ”

The green peppers on the plate are fried with raw flavor, and the stir-fried meat that looks like it is full of juice is very delicious.

"Please bring the food to the restaurant for my eldest lady."

"Yes!" The girl picked up the plate with great interest.

"Don't burn your hands." Seeing this, Shiina Kiri hurriedly said.

"Got it."

……

In addition to stir-fried pork with green peppers, Shiina Kiri later made mapo tofu, scrambled eggs with shredded onions, stir-fried cabbage and a large bowl of tomato and egg soup.

These are all very common home-cooked dishes.

The two sat side by side at the dining table, and the girl let out exclamations from time to time.

"Is mapo tofu tasted like this? It's delicious. ”

"The fried meat is so fragrant..."

"If you marry Shiina-kun, you will definitely be very happy! The cooking is so delicious! ”

Shiina Kiri felt that she shouldn't be acting this time, because she was already the second bowl of rice.

"It's useless to be able to cook. Well, how do you say that sentence, a man who has money can cook is called considerate, and if he has no money, he can cook and call it unproductive. ”

These dishes would have been made in his previous life, and I didn't see anyone like him.

"But I've got money."

The girl looked at him with the bowl and objected.

Of course, Shiina Kirishi knew that she was rich, and this private courtyard was worth at least hundreds of millions, but she didn't take it seriously.

"Eat, eat without speaking."

Shiina Kiri tapped lightly on the table with her index finger, not wanting to continue the topic.

"Hmph, it's obvious that Shiina-kun said it first, but I don't dare to say it."

The girl sandwiched a ball of rice, put it in her mouth, chewed it carefully, and then sandwiched a piece of fried meat.

"It's really delicious, Shiina-kun."

It's like eating too much delicacies from the mountains and seas, and suddenly eating sugar gourds, the girl only felt amazing when she ate this home-cooked dish for the first time.

His cooking level is only lv2, and he doesn't believe he can compare to those chefs.

The delicacies that the girl had eaten were definitely beyond his imagination, although those might not be to his taste.

For example, he still can't accept raw egg yolks.

"Then you eat more food."

Shiina Kiri sandwiched a piece of golden scrambled eggs to the girl, and the girl hurriedly took the bowl with both hands.

"Thank you."

It looks very well-behaved.

"Didn't you say that couples weren't allowed to say thank you?" Shiina Kiri provoked a thorn.

"Well, so be it."

She looked up and kissed him on the side of the cheek.

Shiina Kiri silently took a tissue and wiped the place she had kissed, ignoring the girl's snicker.

Both of them had a great time at the meal.

After eating, they walked towards the last room, which was also considered a walk after dinner.

"Xiao Nai, you haven't said anything special about 'Winter'."

He is also very satisfied with what he saw today, he has been very busy recently, and he is also working hard to brush up the level during class time, so he naturally feels more relaxed in the change of environment.

Of course, the eldest lady around her may also be one of the reasons, after all, there are only too few beauties and beautiful scenery.

Moreover, she is really cute and well-behaved today, she is so good.

"Tibetan winter." The girl suddenly trotted to the front, holding her little hands behind her back and then suddenly turned around and looked him in the eye. "It's called 'Tibetan Winter.'"

"Well, what's that saying?"

"There's a lot of strange rocks there, and in winter, it's beautiful to be covered in snow."

Shiina fog finally understood the meaning, and hiding snow is hiding winter.

After a while, he saw a stone forest, and there was a house at the end of the stone forest.

They didn't go straight to the house, but stopped at a stone table.

A tea set was placed on the stone table, white smoke curled from the teapot, and several servants stood not far away.

The girl once again held back the crowd and took the initiative to pick up the teapot and pour tea for the young man.

"It's boring if it's not snowing. But it doesn't matter, there are surprises in the house, and it will definitely satisfy Shiina-kun. ”

The two sat opposite each other at the stone table.

"It's not good now."

Shiina Kiri holds the teacup with both hands, the color of the tea is very light, but the fragrance of the tea is very strong.

However, he doesn't drink much tea, so he can't smell what kind of tea it is.

He and Aokora each took a sip and said.

"Well, just now Xiao Nai said that there was a surprise in the house? What a surprise. ”

"I can't say it, Shiina-kun will know when the time comes, it's not the time yet."

This stone table does not have a pavilion, but is open-air.

But fortunately, it was a cloudy day, and after the dark clouds were blown away by the wind, another dark cloud would come to block it.

The sunlight was hazy all the time, so hazy that you didn't even notice that the sun was in the clouds without looking up.

"Okay."

Shiina didn't continue to ask, there were only a hundred steps left from the last room, and there was no need for him to be too impatient.

Now all you need to do is drink tea here.

In fact, he doesn't know tea, maybe it's more appropriate to use consumption.

"There's Lake Kawaguchi nearby, so if it doesn't rain in the afternoon, why don't we go on a boat ride together?" The girl proposed.

"Yes."

"If two people row, it must be very exciting, and Mt. Fuji is right in front of you."

"What kind of boat?"

"yes, someone should rent it."

This sentence is inexplicably familiar to Shiina Kiri, and it should be open to ride the Ferris wheel for the first time.

Whatever the girl wants, she will have.

"Just believe me? When the boat arrives in the middle of the lake, isn't it okay to make some excessive demands? ”

Shiina Kiri joked.

"But Shiina-kun can't beat me, shouldn't it be me who makes excessive demands?" She said seriously.

He inexplicably thought of the time when she was pressed on the back of the car seat, unable to move.

"It was an accident, why don't we try again?" Shiina sighed.

At that time, they had only known each other for a day, who would have thought that the girl was so good, he didn't react at all.

It's also that he has too little actual combat experience, and he doesn't take it seriously since he obtained [Fighting Mastery].

The girl pursed her lips and chuckled, refusing. "No, be cute today."

Originally, he wanted to find a way back to the field, but now that she didn't agree, what could he do.

"Actually, the most beautiful thing here is the sunrise."

The girl very subtly changed the subject.

"The sun rises at the bottom of Mt. Fuji, and stopping at the top of the mountain for a while is the best sight."

Shiina Kiri, of course, also heard that the "Fuji pearl" is the rising sun on the top of Mt. Fuji.

"Do you want to watch it together tomorrow morning?" She sent out an invitation.

Shiina Kiri's face was embarrassed. "Xiao Nai, you know, I'm going home at night."

He didn't elaborate on it, because it would be a bit weird to say it.

I have a kitten at home and I can't spend the night outside or she'll blow up.

But the current identity of the girl in front of him is also his girlfriend.

"Okay."

Aokuna didn't force it, she has been a good talker lately, and this morning she was "sick" because he released her pigeons and looked like he had forgotten everything.

She had really waited for him for a long time last night, even if it was a message.

"But Shiina-kun can only be mine today."

There was a lack of interest in the topic, after all, he had rejected this girl because of another one.

"Let's go, there's one last room left."

"Okay."

She didn't let him hold her hand this time, maybe she forgot, but it's very unlikely.

The two came to "Tibetan Winter", and Shiina Kirishi followed the girl and walked inward.

Strangely enough, there was not a single servant here, and there seemed to be only the two of them in the huge room.

There is a large hot spring in the house.

"The hot springs here are natural hot springs from Mt. Fuji."

The girl introduced without looking back.

"Is this the surprise?"

Shiina Kiri nodded, it really makes sense to soak in the hot springs here if it snows.

"It's not." The girl denied it.

Shiina Kiri watched her turn around, her hands gently holding the bottom of her skirt and slowly pulling it up, the panoramic view of her slender legs appeared in front of him, in addition to the small white pants hiding in the black silk.

"The surprise is me." The girl looked at him calmly and said softly.

Shiina fog. “……”

He had the urge to turn around and leave.
