Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 543: Be a little lazy
The Oirase Stream originates from Lake Towada and stretches for more than ten kilometers. There are endless beautiful scenery along the way, and there are more than a dozen waterfalls of various sizes.The widest among them is Choshi Falls, and the tallest is Unjing Falls, which is right in the middle of the entire hiking route.

This is also the only resting point during the hike.

Next to the steps leading from the footpath to the main road, there is a sign indicating that there is a bus stop right here.

Naruse pulled Morimi up and said as he passed by, "Why don't you wait here and take the bus there."

She glanced at it and responded vaguely, but she really didn't have the energy to speak.

Arriving at the top, Naruse looked around, pulled her across the road, and continued forward to the bottom of Yunjing Falls.

Kumoi Falls is actually a tributary of the Oirase Stream and is famous for its large drop from top to bottom.

A bunch of white waterfalls flow down, and the water is turbulent.The air was very humid, and the grass blades underneath were covered with water drops. The two of them did not get too close, but stood and watched not far away.

"The water flow is too small."

"It's just a small waterfall after all."

Naruse took two photos, and other students came over one after another.

"Is there only a small waterfall here?"

"What else did you expect?"

"It would be nice to have a stone bench..."

It's said to be a resting spot, but there's nothing here. You can't find a place to sit, so you can only stand.

Naruse turned to look at Morimi's condition again, "Are you okay?"

"Not good." She moved her lips, her voice lower than a mosquito.

"We're only halfway there."

"..."

Half of the journey is seven or eight kilometers.

Morijian closed his eyes and said, "Push me into the river, so that I have an excuse to lose my temper and not leave."

"Stop it."

More and more people came over, and the two of them returned to stand on the edge of the road outside.

"How long until the bus comes?"

"I don't know, I'll take a look."

Naruse walked to the simple bus stop sign on the roadside and looked at the timetable.

"Spring Sea."

He raised his head and saw Shangzi and Haixing from Class C also walking over.

"Tired?"

"I'm so tired..."

"We're only halfway there."

She puffed her lips, climbed up the steps and leaned against him.

"..."

Starfish, who climbed up after her, was suddenly at a loss as she looked left and right, then looked at him.

"Can you still walk?" Naruse asked.

"It's not bad." She was sweating a little, but her expression and condition seemed to be better than Naoko's. After all, her body was exercised by riding bicycles and delivering drinks.

"Some people are almost dead." He looked back and saw that the "almost dead" person was still standing in the same place.

Noticing Morimi, Haisei also walked over to her side.

Looking up at the two people over there, Shangzi cuddled for a while, then turned to look at the stop sign he was looking at just now.

"The bus..."

"Ah."

"You shouldn't be allowed to take a car when hiking."

"Of course I won't, but just don't let the teacher find out."

Naoko looked over again, "Chunhai plans to take the car?"

"It's not me, it's Morimi."

"Are you alone……"

"one person."

After continuing to rest for a while, two more classes came here. Hikaru Takigawa looked around and quickly noticed a few of them.

"Are you okay?" She looked at Morimi who was in the worst condition.

"I can't walk anymore."

At this time, the teacher of Class A of the second year announced that the break was over and they regrouped and set off.

"Help..." Mori's eyes widened.

"Go over and call your name first, and then sneak out. Anyway, there are so many people here now, Yanagisawa won't notice." Naruse said.

Morimi could only follow him to roll call and re-line up. The teacher's attention was attracted by the other students at the back of the line, and he quickly left the line and blended in with the students in other classes.Yanagisawa Oka didn't notice it and said loudly: "Let's go."

Naruse glanced at Morimi who was already hiding in the distance, then looked at the other three who were still resting, waved his hand and set off first.

After Class A departed, Class B also began to regroup.

Due to the narrow trail, the second-grade team was very long. By the time Class C, where Naoko and Haixing were, also set off, Class A, which was the first to set off, had already lost track of where it was.

"How long is the bus?" Takigawa Hikaru asked, out of sight of the teacher, Morimi returned to his companions openly.

"Ten minutes."

"Class E is about to leave."

"Do you want to stay and ride in the car with me?"

"I can still walk."

Morimi didn't say much, "Then see you at the end."

Takigawa Hikaru nodded, then looked at the asphalt road between the green trees, "Don't get discovered."

"I will be careful."

After a while, Class E also regrouped and set off.

After saying goodbye to Hikaru Takigawa, Morimi continued to wait. Finally, when the bus came, he found an opportunity to get on the bus with other tourists.

After sitting in the car, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning around again, there were also several second-year students, both male and female, sitting in the back seat who had secretly boarded the bus at an unknown stop.

"..."

Several people looked at each other in confusion. Mori Jian couldn't pronounce their names, but the other party might not know her, but they both kept silent in a tacit understanding.

The bus started quickly.

All the way down along the Oirase Stream, most of the way, the trail runs parallel to the main road where the bus travels, keeping the distance not too far.

The road was winding, the bus was not very fast, and outside the window, there were teams of other classes moving forward.

Morimi watched from the car. Because of the height and distance, he didn't have to worry about others discovering him.

Not long after, she saw Class A of the second year at the front of the team.

When they heard the movement of the bus, many people raised their heads and glanced casually, but only one person followed him with his eyes.

The road was twisty and blocked by branches, and the bus quickly disappeared deep into the woods. Naruse also looked away and sent a message to Morimi.

Naruse: Are you in the car?

Yiye: [image]
She sent a blurry photo. Although it was taken hastily, it could still be vaguely seen that it was the team of Class A.

Naruse: Let’s have a good rest when we get there.

Yiye: Got it.

Putting away his phone, Naruse took a deep breath, looked back, and then looked forward.

It was a long hike, and he was only halfway there.

Continuing forward and walking along the stream for more than an hour, a public toilet appeared on the side of the road.

Several students said they wanted to go to the bathroom, so Yanagisawa agreed and asked them to follow them as soon as possible after they finished. The team did not stop.

Naruse was too lazy to go, so he continued to move forward while dragging his body.

But before he had gone far, someone suddenly tapped his shoulder from behind.

Naruse turned around, flicked his fingers, and countless small droplets of water flew onto his face, and he squinted his eyes.

"You guys are so slow." Seeing the surprise on his face, Morimi also smiled.

Naruse looked at his girlfriend, then at Yanagisawa Oka at the back of the team, "Why are you waiting here?"

"Everyone was hiking. I was really embarrassed to sit all the way to the end and got off at the last stop."

Naruse smiled, and suddenly felt that the fatigue in his body had reduced a lot.

"The remaining journey is about half an hour, can you walk?"

"Absolutely. Can you still walk on your own?"

"It won't be a problem to walk for a few more hours."

After walking for more than 20 minutes, a bridge appeared in front of me. After walking for a while, the stream gradually faded away, and a conspicuous building appeared among the trees.

"We've arrived at Oirase Keikekan."

After walking through mountains and forests and down rivers, the end point of the more than ten kilometers of hiking is here.

This is a museum of local history, and there is a huge canteen next to it.

The teams of each second grade class walked out of the woods one after another, gathered in the square, and then entered the cafeteria to eat.

After four hours of continuous hiking, it was already past noon, and the students in each class were already hungry and devouring their food.

The team will stop here for an hour for students to rest and visit Oirase Keikekan before returning to school.

After taking a big mouthful of rice, Naruse looked up at his companions sitting around him and asked, "Would you like to wander around the area later?"
