Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 74 Itinerary
When he got home, Naruse went straight back to his room upstairs to pack his luggage for a long trip tomorrow.

In fact, there is nothing to pack, two sets of clothes, plus things like mobile phone chargers, that's all.

As long as you bring enough money, most additional needs can be covered.

Putting everything into the bag, Naruse leaned back on the chair, looked up at the ceiling, suddenly feeling a little nervous.

Although he was very busy after agreeing, it was the first time he skipped school in such a planned way.

"Although it won't be a big problem if the school finds out...at most it will be reprimanded."

After staring blankly for a while, Naruse went downstairs, and Shangzi, who also went home to pack her luggage, had already come and sat on the sofa.

"Has Shangzi packed yet?" He asked casually, girls always need more things.

Shangzi pursed his lower lip, but did not speak.

Naruse was about to go to the kitchen to drink water, but he turned around and walked in front of her, immediately frowned.

She showed no expression, but she couldn't hide the loss in her heart.

"what happened?"

"Chunhai..."

Shangzi took a deep breath and put on a smile on his face, "I can't go to Kyoto with you."

Naruse looked at her, "Why?"

"Mom called just now, saying that she and Dad will have a rest the day after tomorrow and will go home for a day."

"..."

Naruse opened his mouth and sat down beside her.

It is rare for the Hua couple to come back, Shangzi will not leave them alone and go out alone.

After a while, he said, "Then I won't go either."

Shangzi laughed, "But Chunhai really wants to go."

She leaned to the side, leaning on his shoulder.

"I know, if Chunhai wants to do something that he didn't intend to do, he will actively find various reasons to mobilize his enthusiasm..."

"—The main reason is that Shangzi wants to go."

"Thank you." After getting over the initial depression, Shangzi recovered quickly, "But, the current Haruhi already wants to go to Kyoto, right?"

Naruse let out a long breath and leaned back on the sofa, "I didn't think so."

"Really?"

"real."

"Really?"

"..."

He turned his head, Shangzi also looked at him, and smiled again.

"Chunhai and Guang go together, just remember to bring me a few souvenirs from Kyoto."

"Shangzi..."

Shangzi finally decided to stay.

In the evening, Hikari Takikawa came to discuss the itinerary with the two of them. After hearing that Shangzi would not go to Kyoto, he had the same reaction.

"Shangzi must stay at home?"

"Because mom and dad come back for a long time. I don't want them to come back without anyone at home."

"Even so..."

"And I'd love to see them too."

Hikaru Takikawa was silent for a long time, and in the end he could only accept this fact.

"it's a pity……"

"Next time." Shangzi smiled.

"Hey."

"Stop moaning, didn't you come here to discuss the itinerary?" After Shangzi made a decision, Naruse's attitude was much firmer, as if he hadn't planned to take Shangzi with him from the beginning.

Only then did Hikaru Takikawa remember his purpose of coming here at night, "Are you here to discuss?"

"Ah."

Although he didn't go, Shangzi didn't avoid it, and listened to the plan of the two.

"My plan is to follow the team on the school trip all the time, and I will go wherever Yue goes."

"really."

Naruse knew that she would not leave her sister to play by herself.

He thought of another thing, "What did Guang's parents say about this?"

"Huh? Mom and Dad have nothing to say, just ask me how much I need."

"..."

What a big heart.

Naruse shook his head inwardly.

"Because I said I was worried about Xinyue." Takikawa Hikaru said with a smile.

It seems that it has become the practice of the Takigawa family for the younger sister to take care of the older sister.

"Did you get the itinerary for the third grade school trip?" Naruse asked again.

"Well, here it is."

Hikaru Takikawa took out her sister's school trip itinerary.

"Go to Kitano Tenmangu and Arashiyama on the first day, Kiyomizu Temple, Heian Shrine, Shinkyogoku and Ginkakuji on the second day, and go back after visiting Kyoto Tower on the third day..."

Naruse glanced at him, "It doesn't seem to be any different from my trip to Kyoto last year."

"Did Chunhai go to Kyoto last year?"

"Yes."

"My son and I went to Hokkaido."

"I know."

"Ok?"

"nothing……"

Naruse pointed to the contact number of the hotel at the bottom of the itinerary, "Where is this 'Huaquanfang' hotel?"

Hikaru Takikawa thought for a while, "It seems to be on the Gion side."

"Gion... over there on Shijo-dori, then let's find a place to live nearby."

"Okay."

Naruse took out his mobile phone and searched for hotels near Gion.Out of the corner of his eye, Shangzi was still staring at the itinerary on the table.

After searching for a while, he put down his phone, "How about this AKANE hotel?"

Hikaru Takikawa flipped through the pictures.

"It seems to be okay...Wow, the price is so expensive."

"The hotels over there are all at this price, not to mention that this one is on Shijo Street, which is very close to Yasaka Shrine. Or should we change to a place farther away?"

"No..." Takigawa Hikari sighed painfully, "This is the one, it's not convenient if the distance is too far."

"Then I make a reservation."

Naruse took back his phone and tapped the screen a few times, "Two rooms..."

"Two rooms?"

He raised his head, and Shangzi's gaze was also fixed on Takikawa Hikaru's face.

"if not?"

Hikaru Takikawa nodded as if accepting something, "Then I will share a room with Hai Xing."

"...you wait a minute."

Naruse couldn't accept it, raised his hand, took a deep breath, "What starfish?"

Takikawa Hikaru tilted his head, not quite understanding what he meant.

"Is that the starfish?"

"That starfish from Maki's house is going too?"

"Maki's family... why did you say it so awkwardly? Yes, didn't I just say it?"

"You, one, one, word, didn't mention it at all."

"Ah, I forgot."

Hikaru Takikawa smiled, "I met Haixing when I came back, and she happily agreed."

"...Go and apologize to Mori."

"Um... Ah, eh? Ichiba? Apologize? Why?"

Naruse didn't answer, rubbed both sides of his forehead, and asked after a while:

"Does Starfish know that I'm going too?"

Hikaru Takikawa nodded, "I know."

He was a little surprised.

After thinking about it, maybe it was because they got along well or normal with each other during the counseling before, which allowed her to let go of the conflict for a while.

Of course, it may be that her determination to go to Kyoto outweighed her resistance to him.

After being silent for a while, Naruse waved his hand, "Then just discuss the room arrangement with Hai Xing."

"it is good."

Taking advantage of Takikawa Hikaru's message to Haixing, Naruse opened another website and booked a Shinkansen ticket to Kyoto tomorrow morning.

"From Shin-Aomori to Kyoto, it will take more than five hours to take the fastest 'Hayabusa'...and you have to transfer trains in Tokyo halfway."

What a frustrating truancy.

"Haixing said he could share a room with me." Hikari Takikawa showed him the news records of the two of them.

Naruse looked at the content carefully, "That means I prefer to live alone, so let's book three rooms."

"Hey, is that so?"

"She's such an awkward character."

"It's better that Chunhai understands more thoroughly."

Naruse pursed his lower lip, staring at the phone as if he didn't hear it.

Booked a room on the website, and soon, the hotel called to confirm.

"Yes, I'm Naruse...that's right, three rooms, three days and two nights."

After the room was booked and the itinerary was basically set, Hikaru Takikawa didn't stay long and was ready to go home.

Before leaving, she looked at Shangzi again, who just smiled.

Naruse also went out, "I'll take you back and go to the convenience store by the way."

On the way back, Takikawa Hikari was a little silent.

"Still thinking about Shangzi?"

"I still feel a little regretful... During the day, Shangzi looked very much looking forward to going to Kyoto."

"Family is more important." Naruse didn't look at her, but looked at the other side of the road, "Shangko thinks so."

Takikawa Hikari puffed his mouth, straightened his arms, and stretched his body facing the night sky.

"What does Chunhai want to buy at the convenience store?"

"Buy a bottle of milk to help you sleep."

"Ah, then I'll buy a bottle of milk too."

"Ah."

"I didn't bring any money."

"...Let me treat you."
