Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 140
After reprimanding Takikawa Hikaru who was hiding behind the juicy ice, Naruse didn't go any further. He took some pictures, looked around for a while, and then proposed to go back.

"Aren't you going to continue down?" Hikaru Takikawa asked, one arm was still pinched by the starfish, she was really startled just now.

"Haven't seen enough?"

Naruse touched another juicy tree next to him, and another snow fell, "Although the shape of each juicy tree is unique, in the final analysis, they are just branches covered in snow, which are still far away. It feels better."

"I think so too." Sen Jian said from the side.

Hikaru Takikawa scanned around him.

"Well, that's true... can you see it from the cable car?"

He smiled, "Now that the wind and snow have stopped, of course I can see it."

"Okay then, let's go back—don't pinch the starfish, I was wrong."

Hikaru Takikawa dragged his sister and Haixing to the front, while Naruse was still at the back.

Shangzi walked slowly, and he returned to his normal speed when he followed behind.

Back on the mountain, the few people didn't go to the restaurant again, and they planned to take the cable car down directly while the view was still relatively open.

After waiting for a while at the cable car station, the cable car came up with a group of skiers.

"After the snow stopped, more people came up to ski."

"Well, this is the starting point of the high-level ski resort."

Sit on the cable car and descend slowly, and several people pass over the hoarfrost forest.

On the snowy slope, there are so many snow pillars erected that you can't see the edge at a glance, but they are human-like in shape, giving Naruse a feeling of the streets of Shinjuku suddenly frozen in time.

"..."

He shook his head to shake off the strange thought.Looking inside the cable car, the girls are also staring at the bottom with ecstasy.

Click!

Hai Xing took a picture of the bottom, zoomed in, zoomed out, looked at him a few times, and suddenly looked at him again.

Naruse was turning his head to look at the cable car station that was getting closer and closer below.

With a mechanical sound, the cable car arrived at the Jubing Plateau Station in the middle.

The cable car going down has not yet come up, and the few people did not wait here, and went out for a walk.

The terrain of the Jubing Plateau is relatively flat, so the ski trails are also gentler. Many ski beginners choose to practice here.

Because Morimi and Haixing were not in good condition, they gave up their plan to ski, but after climbing the snow mountain—although they were sitting on the cable car—there was no trace of sleepiness on their faces.

It's just that at this time, they watched the practitioners who were sliding or falling down, and no one mentioned skiing anymore.

Looking all the way along the ski slope, and then looking back at the juicy forest halfway up the mountain, Naruse greeted, "The cable car is almost here, let's go."

Back at the cable car station, they squeezed into the large cable car that just came up. It didn't take long for the few people to descend a thousand meters and return to the ground.

"What are you going to do next, go back directly?" Takikawa Hikaru asked.

"Well, unless you plan to soak in the hot spring here for a while."

Naruse said, then looked at the other four people, "Do you want to soak?"

Several people shook their heads.

"The sulfur smell of the hot spring here is too strong, I can't bear it."

"Me too."

"Then there's nothing to visit on Mount Zao, let's go back to downtown Yamagata and have a look."

Naruse took the lead and walked to the place where he got off the car before, "There are museums, history museums, and places like Yakushido, Guanyindo, and local museums over there. It's a good place to pass the time."

"Okay."

So a few people got on the bus going back, and after returning to the downtown area of ​​Yamagata, they took a stroll around Yamagata Station as the center.

Strolling around until about five o'clock in the afternoon, the group hurried back to Yamagata Station and took the nearest Shinkansen back to Oishitian.

Naruse said hello in advance, and the private minibus of Guyinge was waiting outside Oishida Station, and set off as soon as it received people, and brought them back to Yinshan Hot Spring Street before dark.

"Finally home--"

Getting off the car, Takigawa Hikaru stretched his waist, "We really ran far enough today."

"Although most of the time was spent on the road."

Naruse glanced back, and after sitting in the car for nearly an hour, the sleepiness of Morimi and Haixing was awakened again. The two of them took a half-asleep doze on the Shinkansen and the minibus for a while, and they were listless at this time of.

"Go to the hot spring first, and then go to dinner. The appointment time is still seven o'clock."

"it is good."

Several people went back to the room to get bathrobes and towels. Mori took off his glasses and lay down on the table, expressing that he wanted to stay in the room to rest instead of going to soak.

Although starfish is sleepy, she still wants to soak in hot springs.

Naruse didn't care so much, anyway, he was alone, and went straight down.

After rinsing his body and sitting in the hot spring pool, he let out a long sigh of relief.

There were a few unfamiliar faces in the pool. They should be the guests who just moved in today.

In the peak season of cold winter, tourists come and go to Yinshan Hot Spring constantly, and there is nothing to see. Most of them check in the first day and leave the next day. Only a few of them stay for two nights.

Naruse leaned back on the stones by the pool, looking at the half-covered top of his head, the sky outside had already turned gray.

"It's already the end of the year..."

After Christmas, there were only a few days left until New Years, and they still spent two days traveling.

"To welcome the New Year, what are you preparing for?"

He closed his eyes again, counting things like door pine and mirror cakes in his mind.

"Ah..." He thought of something more important, "I have to do some cleaning first."

and many more……

His house is going to be cleaned up, and Shang Zi's house is of course not left behind. Actually, there are two houses that need to be cleaned-how long will it take?
But no matter where you can't let go.

As for Song Qianqiu and Shangzi's parents, they basically didn't come back until the last day of the year, and the only ones who could clean were him and Shangzi.

Two people... two houses...

Or should we travel outside until the end of the New Year and then go home?

Naruse slid down until the hot spring submerged his jaw.

"..."

He sighed.

Can only think about it.

He was just aware of this problem, and he couldn't ignore it for a while, even if he returned to the room upstairs after soaking in the hot spring, he was still thinking about it.

"Don't you know to knock on the door first when you come in?"

Mori Jian lay on his side on the tatami, opened his eyes suddenly when he opened the door, and sat up again.

"Feel sorry……"

Naruse even forgot that she stayed in the room alone, so he didn't go in at this time, and stopped in front of the sliding door, "How are you resting?"

"It's okay... I wanted to sleep, but I couldn't fall asleep." Mori said, still looking sleepy.

"Then you continue to rest." Naruse simply didn't go in, closed the sliding door, and stayed in the guest room outside.

"..."

After staring at the closed sliding door for a while, Morimi lay down again.

In the silence, she asked, "Why did Naruse come up so quickly?"

It took him a while to reply, "It feels like it's almost soaked."

"It's boring to soak in hot springs alone."

"Fortunately."

"Then why did you look so sad just now?"

"Well……"

He seemed hesitant.

Mori Jian turned his head and glanced at the sliding door blocking each other, "If it's inconvenient to say it, forget it."

"No inconvenience."

His voice sounded again, "It just suddenly occurred to me that I will have to clean up after I go back tomorrow."

Mori laughed.

She turned over on the tatami, facing outside.

"With Shangzi here, I won't make you work too hard."

"Doesn't her house need to be cleaned?"

"Ah." She was slightly startled, but quickly understood, "There are two houses to be cleaned."

"That's right—speaking of which, will Morimi's old house have to be cleaned every house by the end of the year?"

When the topic turned to herself, she responded.

"So if you want to say, I clean it much harder than you."

"Well."

"Do you have time to help clean up?"

He said nothing.

Although hopeless, she snorted softly.

Taking this as a topic, the two chatted about other things.Not long after, there was suddenly no sound inside.

Without a response, Naruse opened the sliding door and glanced inside, then slowly closed it again.

"Didn't you say you couldn't sleep..."
