Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 438 Magomesu

The next morning, Naruse woke up early.

He was not in a daze. He quickly woke up and shook his girlfriend on the pillow.

"Well……"

Shangzi closed his eyes and knocked off his hand, turned over, and continued to sleep.

"..."

Naruse leaned close to her ear and took a bite.

"Miss Huahua, you will miss the plane."

Shangzi opened his eyes suddenly and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was still beside him. He closed his eyes and opened his arms, asking for a hug.

He leaned over and hugged her, and also dragged her up.

"Well……"

"Get up, wash up and tidy up. The pick-up car is almost here."

"it is good……"

Shang Zi also woke up quickly.

The two of them changed their clothes, went downstairs to wash up, and ate something they brought back last night for breakfast.

The so-called "almost" is actually half an hour.

The two of them took their time and made sure that they had brought all the luggage they were supposed to bring. The doors and windows of both houses were locked. They waited for a while before getting into the taxi that came to pick them up from the airport.

The weather was fine, it was just after seven o'clock and it was already bright.

No one came to say goodbye.

What Naoko thought was a matter of course made Naruse secretly relieved.

Mori didn't come over.

Yesterday at noon, she sent over the book he "left" and took away the things she "left" in his pocket, and she went back.

Then she sent another message and explained.

According to her, she took it off in the fitting room of the mall and stuffed it into his pocket on the way home. She planned to tell him when she got home to scare him.

But what happened later made her put the incident behind her and completely forget about it.

She had no intention of causing him any trouble at a time like this, and she said she was sorry.

Naruse didn't reply.

As for Haixing, he also said hello yesterday afternoon.

After she asked carefully about where they were going for a long time, he suddenly understood her hint.

It was just impossible to take her with him, so Naruse could only pretend not to understand.

At the intersection, the taxi slowed down slightly.

Driving out of the small road, the rising sun shines through the car window, casting soft light onto the faces of the passengers in the car.

Naruse took a deep breath, recovered his thoughts, and looked at his girlfriend next to him.

"If you're sleepy, you can take a nap. It used to take half an hour. I'll call you when I get there."

Shangzi shook his head and smiled at him, "I'm already excited."

Naruse held her hand.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at Aomori Airport.

This is the off-season and the airport is not busy.Monk Naruse came over an hour in advance to check in, go through security and check in luggage, so he still had plenty of time.

"At this time, Guang shouldn't have gotten up yet."

"Probably...but she said she is going to take a tour around Lake Toya today, and she might get up early."

"Let's go to Hokkaido next time."

"Ah."

The two sat for a while, and finally it was time to board the plane.

At nine fifteen, the plane from Aomori to Nagoya took off on time.

Almost an hour and a half later, the plane landed at Nagoya Komaki Airport.

Naoko looked out the window, "We're here."

"Ah."

She said excitedly, but she grabbed his hand as soon as she got on the plane. She was a little nervous and fell asleep soon after the plane took off.

After returning to the ground, she relaxed again.

By the time we left the airport, it was almost halfway through the day.

Their plan today was just to rush to Magome-juku after landing in Nagoya, visit the surrounding areas, and spend the night in Magome-juku that day, so time was not tight.

"It takes three hours to get to Magome-juku from here. Let's go to the station first and have something to eat before setting off."

"Okay."

After leaving the airport, the two took a half-hour bus ride to JR Katsukawa Station and found a Chinese restaurant nearby for lunch.

Naoko ordered seafood fried rice, and after asking about the spiciness, Naruse ordered Mapo Tofu rice bowl, and the two of them ordered fried dumplings.

"Is Mapo Tofu spicy?"

"It's okay, I want something slightly spicy."

While waiting for the food to be delivered, Naruse flipped through the news.He sent a photo of the airport before taking off, and Morimi and Haisei each responded with a few words. Almost immediately after he took off, Takigawa Hikaru also sent a message, saying that she was also awake and ready to leave for Lake Toya.

Shangzi scrolled through the news, "At nine-twenty, we have already taken off."

"Well, she probably set the alarm for nine o'clock and got up at that time. Looking at the photo she sent, she was also packed and ready to go."

"That hotel looks quite elegant."

"Well, I don't know how much she paid for this trip..."

Click!

Shangzi took a few photos of the restaurant and sent them to the group.After seeing several people come out and comment, she sat next to Naruse again, snuggled up against him and took a selfie.

buzz-

She sent him the photo.

"I'm still a little embarrassed to post this kind of photo... Harumi, please post it."

Naruse didn't say anything, just clicked twice and forwarded the photo to the group.

After a period of dead silence, Takigawa Yue directly chose to disappear;
Morimi chose to ignore it and pointed to the menus in the previous photos, saying that the Chinese restaurant they went to was not authentic, and most likely it was Japanese people fooling Japanese people;
Haixing said haha, and the person disappeared;
Takigawa Hikaru sent a photo of Lake Toya and said he would continue riding and would contact him later.

Silence returned to the group. Naruse shook his head inwardly and put away his phone. "It's almost time for them to eat."

"Yes."

Naoko moved slightly to the side.

After a while, lunch for the two of them was served.

After tasting the mapo tofu rice bowl, Naruse licked his lips and took another bite.

Sure enough, it was designed to fool the Japanese...it's nothing compared to the Chinese restaurant in Tsumae Okayacho.

"what about the taste?"

"Let's have a taste."

"Not spicy?"

“It’s not spicy, and it’s very suitable for the physique of Japanese high school students.”

After lunch, the two took a short rest and then went to a nearby station to wait for the bus.

After waiting for seven or eight minutes, the two got on the Chuo Main Line tram.

After walking through mountains and ridges and passing through several cities on the Nakasendo Road for an hour, Naruse and Naoko got off the bus at Nakatsu River and transferred to the bus to Magome-juku.

"It's quite troublesome to come here..."

"It's so troublesome to take a car because you always have to wait." Naruse said, "When I can drive in the future, it will be much more convenient for Naoko to go where she wants to go. Let's just drive there."

"uh-huh."

It was only half an hour's drive from Nakatsugawa to Magome-juku. As the two of them chatted, the scenery outside the car window quickly receded. After a while, they came from the city to the mountains, with only dense woods remaining on both sides.

After turning a nearly 180-degree turn, the bus continued to drive, and some Edo-style houses began to appear on the roadside.

Naruse looked out the window for a while and said, "We are on the old Nakasen Road."

Shangzi also looked out the window.

The bus is still driving in the mountainous area, and there are gradually more buildings on the roadside.

Nakasen Expressway, parallel to Tokaido Expressway, was the main post road connecting Kyoto and Edo during the Edo period. It passed through Tokyo, Saitama, Nagano, Gifu, Mie and Kyoto, with a total length of more than 500 kilometers.

Nowadays, the role of post roads is no longer what it used to be, and Nakasendo Road, where most of the inns are still well preserved, has also been transformed into a tourist route to explore the historical customs of Edo.

The bus continued to drive forward on Old Zhongshan Road. The buildings on the roadside gradually became taller and denser. At a certain intersection, the bus began to slow down.

"We have arrived."

"uh-huh."

After turning around the intersection, the bus drove forward for a while and stopped at the parking lot of the visitor center.

It's a lively time of the day right now, and you can see many tour groups as soon as you get off the car. Naruse dragged his suitcase with one hand and his girlfriend with the other, watching as he walked.

"There are quite a lot of people..."

"Yes."

The hotel was very close to the station, only a few minutes away, and the two of them planned to go there and put their luggage first.However, it was an uphill stone road all the way, so it was a bit difficult for the two of them to drag their luggage.

"Give me the suitcase."

"It's okay." Shangzi was more willing to hold his hand.

After walking for a while, Naruse saw the hotel sign from a distance.

【White Horse House】

The Edo-style architecture was antique, and the lanterns and curtains hanging at the door also made them reconfirm that this was the hotel they were going to stay in tonight.

"Welcome~"

The female general is very enthusiastic, but check-in cannot be done until three o'clock in the afternoon. The two of them temporarily store their luggage and prepare to go out for a trip.

There are 69 hotels on Nakasendo Road, and Magome-juku is No. 40 Sanjuku. In ancient times, the road was steep and difficult for horses to travel, so pedestrians could only leave their horses here.

"Even if it's a newly built road, the slope is still very steep."

"Be careful." Naruse supported his girlfriend, "Let's just take a stroll today. This place is mainly residential, and there isn't much to see."

"uh-huh."
