Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 138

Eating the sandwich Naruse bought back, Shangzi and the others sat in the lobby of the hotel and waited for a while, and he came over soon.

"The people at the hotel said that their private bus has already taken the guests to the city."

"When will you be back?" Takikawa asked.

"do not know."

Naruse shook his head, "They have just set off for more than ten minutes. And when they get there, they will probably have to pick up a few guests who came over today before returning, so don't wait."

"Ok."

Taking the sandwich that Naoko handed over, Naruse stuffed it into his mouth, and looked at the sluggish starfish again.

Although she woke up, she was obviously out of spirit, either in a daze or distracted, as if she didn't get enough sleep.

Sen Jian sat aside, not much better than her.

What time did the two of them go to bed last night?

Sensing his gaze, Morimi also looked over.

Stuffing the last sandwich into his mouth, Naruse looked at the others, "The city bus is almost here, let's go first."

Morimi supported Haixing to stand up, and Takikawa Hikari supported both of them from behind, "It's okay, you two's feet are shaking."

"I'm fine." Mori said, looking at Haixing, "I'll have a lot of time to sleep when I get in the car."

Hai Xing nodded, opened his mouth to say something, and yawned first.

Leaving the hotel, following Naruse, the early tourists have already arrived one after another.

After finding the platform and waiting for a while, the bus full of tourists stopped in front of them.

After getting in the car, Naoko sat with Haixing and looked after her, and Naruse sat next to Morimi.

As soon as the car started, she leaned over without saying a word.

Shangzi looked back twice, his eyes stayed on her sleepy face for a while, but he didn't say anything.

The city bus is no different than the hotel's private minibus. It stops all the way and takes a longer detour. It is already more than 40 minutes after arriving at Dashitian Station.

"Mori." Naruse looked down at the girl on his shoulder, "It's Daishida."

"Well……"

On the seat in the front row, Haixing was also struggling against Shangzi's chest.

"So soft... what is this..."

After getting off the car, several people transferred to the Shinkansen to Yamagata City here.

Compared with the bus, the sleeping environment on the train was much better, and the people who took care of them on the left and right were replaced by the Takikawa sisters.

"I slept very deeply." Looking at Morimi who was leaning on his body, Takikawa Hikari said in a low voice.

Naruse shook his head, his eyes turned on Hai Xing's face which was closed and frowning.

"Anyway, most of today's time will be spent on the road, let them sleep."

More than half an hour later, the Shinkansen arrived in Yamagata City.

After waking them up to leave the station, they waited for more than ten minutes in the cold wind before the bus to Zao Onsen finally arrived.

After getting in the car and taking a seat, Morimi followed behind Naruse and sat down directly beside him.

While she was still awake, Naruse asked, "What time did you go to bed last night?"

She glanced at him, took off her glasses, and stuffed them into his hands.

"Three or four in the morning, maybe five."

Naoko led Haixing and sat down on the other side of the aisle, and Takikawa and his sister sat behind them.

"It's a little too late."

"Naruse also drank coffee, and I was even more surprised to be able to fall asleep so early." Morimi squinted at him, "Or is it easier to fall asleep holding Shangzi's hand?"

"..."

did you see it.

Naruse pursed his lower lip, "Maybe."

"Then let me sleep next to Shangzi tonight and try."

"up to you."

Across him, Mori saw Shangzi on the other side of the aisle, she was also talking to Hai Xing.

"You and Shangzi..."

She paused and did not continue.

And he stared at the car window in front of him, pretending he didn't hear anything, until his shoulders suddenly sank.

"Don't you feel panicked?"

"Then you change places with Shangzi, I also want to use her breasts as a pillow."

"...you'd better sleep."

Morimi closed his eyes.

After a while, her body slid down a bit, and the force she leaned on became slightly heavier.

She fell asleep.

Naruse looked at the black-rimmed glasses in his hand, and then looked out the window.

The wind and snow filled the air.

From JR Yamagata Station to Zao Onsen, I passed through many stations along the way. When I arrived at the destination, it was already three or four 10 minutes later.

Waking up from Naruse's shoulder, Morimi was stunned for a while, then touched his face inexplicably, took the glasses from him and put them on.

"It's time to get out of the car."

"Ah."

And the starfish leaning on his body was too deep in sleep, Shangzi didn't move all the way, and was also a little sleepy, and was in a daze when he parked the car.

As soon as I got out of the car, the wind and snow hit my face, and this sleepiness disappeared instantly.

"It's so cold...it seems to be much colder here than in Dashitian."

"Yeah." Naruse shrank his neck, "It will be colder when we get down to the mountain."

Starfish was also sobered up by the cold, shivering while clutching Morimi.

Mount Zao not only has hot springs, but also several large ski resorts. The mysterious icy trees are also very attractive. It is a much more popular tourist destination than Ginzan Hot Springs, so there are only a lot more tourists coming here.

Leaving the platform, there is no need to find a way, just follow the crowd and go straight ahead.

Without going too far, you can see the foggy ditches on the side of the road, and the hot springs flowing inside.

Accompanied by it is a strong smell of sulfur that lingers all the way.

"The hot spring here is different from Yinshan Hot Spring." Shangzi said.

Naruse nodded, Yinshan Hot Spring is neutral, and there is almost no sulfur smell.

As they walked, the tourists in front gradually dispersed. Naruse glanced at the roadside signs, and they were almost at the cable car station at the foot of the mountain.

There are several cable car entrances up the mountain, and only one leads to the top of the mountain.

At the cable car station, there are many tourists queuing up, and most of them are skiers wearing ski equipment in groups.

Morimi and Haixing are not in good condition today, otherwise they plan to rent a set of ski equipment here to experience it.

"But there's a ski trip in the third term."

"It seems to be the case. Where are you going?"

"Hakkoda Ski Resort, or Spring Ski Resort. I went to Hakkoda when I was in the first grade. It's not far anyway."

Several people lined up and huddled together because of the cold, getting closer and closer to each other.

The cable car station here is running a large cable car, which can accommodate more than a dozen passengers at a time, and carry up and down several rounds, and finally it is their turn.

Squeezing into the cable car, several girls sat by the window, and Naruse stood in the middle holding the handrail, surrounded by skiers braving the cold.

Close the door, and with a creaking sound, the cable car begins to climb upwards.

After leaving the station, the light in the cable car suddenly became brighter, while the outside of the window was vast.

The sea of ​​snow and the sea of ​​trees blend with each other, boundless.Occasionally, there is a large open area in the distance, which is the ski resort.

"what……"

Hai Xing exhaled, fog formed on the glass immediately, she wiped it again, and looked out through the window.

The cable car climbed for a while, climbing higher and higher, and it was almost at the transit platform.

"It's so cold." She whispered, "It's getting colder."

Shangzi nodded, rubbed his hands again, and spat out a cloud of warm air into his palms.

Soon, the cable car arrived at Jubing Plateau Station.

Several people followed the skier off the cable car, climbed up a flight of stairs, and went to the upper platform to take another cable car to the top of the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and even the inside of the cable car is covered with frost.

They are the only ones left on this cable car.

Several people shrunk their heads and huddled together, while resisting the pervasive cold, while feeling the slight shaking of the cable car under them in the wind and snow.

Mori glanced out the window, then squeezed closer to Naruse.

"It seems that when we reach the top of the mountain, the view will not be very good..."
