Ome Quartet of Snow Country

Chapter 82 Kiyomizu Temple

Even though the neighbor's house next door was empty, after Shangzi got up in the morning to wash up, she went there to prepare breakfast and bento for today.

Just like yesterday morning, during the busy break, she went upstairs to his room and opened the door.

Of course there was no one in the room.

After standing at the door for a while, she went in and sat on the edge of the bed, then lay down again, and buried her face in his pillow.

Closing his eyes, breathing in his scent, Shangzi buried his face deeper.

"……Oops."

After a while, she suddenly woke up and hurried downstairs.

Having prepared breakfast and bento, Shangzi looked at the time and sent him a message before starting to have breakfast.

Shangzi: Good morning.Has Haruhi woke up yet?
Chun Hai: Got up, eating the hotel's buffet breakfast.

Shangzi: You don't have to go to school, you get up really early.

Chunhai: Guang woke up earlier, she was the one who woke me up.

"..."

Shangzi pursed his lips, turned his phone upside down, and lay down on the table.

On the other side of the dining table, where the line of sight rests, is an empty chair.

"There are still two days..."

buzz-

Naruse quickly picked up the phone, but Naoko just said that he was going out.

Naruse: Be careful on the road.

Shangzi: All right.

"News from Shangzi?" Takikawa Hikaru who was sitting opposite asked.

"Yeah." Naruse put down his phone, and glanced at the breakfast in front of him, he had almost eaten.

"Do you want to bring a copy to Starfish?"

"There's nothing to bring here, let her come down and eat by herself."

"I don't know if Starfish has woken up."

"It's almost time to wake up."

After eating the last bit of food on the plate, Naruse wiped his mouth, got up and said, "I'll go upstairs and call her."

Hikaru Takikawa bit his food and nodded.

After taking two steps, Naruse turned around and asked, "What's the number of Haixing's room?"

The room between him and the two was far away, and he didn't remember the specific number of their room.

"Next to my room is Starfish's room."

"... What's the number of the room of the light?"

She thought for a while, then took out the key from her pocket to confirm.

"Ah, it's 407. By the way, Starfish's room is 408."

Back upstairs, Naruse knocked on the door of Room 408, and it took a while before there was a response from inside.

The voice was muffled and hoarse, the starfish had just woken up.

She came to open the door, and seeing that it was not Takikawa Hikaru but him standing outside the door, her narrowed eyes suddenly widened a lot, and then retreated behind the door.

"..."

Although the time was short, Naruse still saw the faint dark circles under Haixing's eyes, so he naturally guessed that she slept late last night.

"Just waiting for you to have breakfast in the restaurant downstairs."

"……Oh."

The two were silent one after another. After a short silence, the gap in the door became narrower and narrower until it was completely closed.

pat.

Hearing the footsteps outside, Hai Xing left from behind the door.

When he came to the bathroom and looked at his face in the mirror, Haixing moved closer and closer, and immediately frowned after seeing it clearly.

"Wow... I really have dark circles under my eyes."

woohoo-

She turned on the faucet, took some cold water with her hand, and patted it on her face.

A drop of water slid down her chin, and her fingertips rested on her lips.

"Isn't that the same as saying it clearly, I still care about it..."

After breakfast, Hai Xing and Takikawa Hikari went to the hotel to find Takikawa Tsuki.

When the third grade team was about to leave for Kiyomizu Temple, Naruse, who received the news, left the hotel and joined the two.

Seeing Starfish again, he was a little stunned, because the dark circles under his eyes he saw in the morning had completely disappeared by now.

He didn't ask much, but on the way to Kiyomizu Temple, he heard Takikawa Hikaru say that she borrowed some cosmetics for Starfish from the hotel, and he understood why.

——It was probably covered with concealer or something like that.

"Is this the Kiyomizuzaka? There are so many shops."

"Souvenirs such as Kiyomizu-yaki and Kyoto fans, or desserts such as Jinguozi, you can basically buy them here."

Kiyomizu Temple is not far away. It is about one kilometer from the hotel, and it takes ten minutes to walk there. On the way, you will pass through a commercial street like Kiyomizuzaka.

"I want to buy something here." Looking at the dazzling array of shops, Hikaru Takikawa decided to pick out gifts to take home here.

"I'll buy it when I get back." Naruse said, "Unless you want to carry things around."

Hikaru Takikawa just said, naturally he wouldn't buy it now.

After continuing to climb up the stone path for a while, I finally arrived at Kiyomizu Temple. On the steps facing me, there is the Nio Gate with red lacquer tiles.

The third-year students called roll call in the open space beside them. The three of Naruse waited for a while, and Takikawa Tsuki came to meet them soon, and there were several girls from the same class with her.

"Let's go to the Landlord Shrine first. I heard that the love prayers there are very effective. I want to draw a lottery!"

"I want to try the love divination stone there, Yue, come with me."

"it is good……"

Several seniors were more interested in the Landlord Shrine, so it became the first destination.

While passing the brightly colored triple-storied pagoda on the way, several people couldn't help but stop and watch for a while, and Naruse was pulled to help take a few photos.

Not far away is the majestic main hall of Kiyomizu Temple, and the Kiyomizu Stage is covered by a dark brown curtain. It is said that it has been temporarily repaired recently and closed to the public, which is very regrettable.

Bypassing the main hall, we finally arrived at the bottom of the steps of the Landlord Shrine, and turned up two or three steps, which is the interior of the Landlord Shrine.

A stone wrapped around a thick rope stood in the middle of the road, and more than ten meters directly ahead, there was another almost identical stone.

Judging from the above text, this is the love divination stone that one of the seniors has been thinking about.

"It is said that as long as you walk from one stone to another with your eyes closed, and there is no deviation, you can get a good relationship."

While talking, she walked to the stone, "Yue, Reiko, if I go astray, please remind me."

"Hey, can I still remind you?"

"This is allowed by the gods... Isn't love occasionally requiring the help of friends?"

"But you don't even have someone to fall in love with right now?"

"To shut up--"

Naruse didn't stay here, and walked in again.

The Landlord Shrine is not too big, it can even be said to be relatively small, but the layout is exquisite and interesting, and the content is also very rich.

Turning around in front of several ancient buildings with [Important Cultural Property], when he turned his head, Takigawa Hikaru was standing in the open space, groping around with his eyes closed.

And the love divination stone was five or six meters away from her.

"...This is too far away."

Hikaru Takikawa opened his eyes, looked left and right, and found that he was ridiculously remote, so he just smiled.

"The eccentric force of the earth's rotation does exist."

"Is that the case?"

"Chun Hai, let's try it too."

"I am not interested."

"Try it."

Naruse had no choice but to go over, stood in front of the stone, looked at another stone more than ten meters away, and closed his eyes.

"Although go forward, if you bump into someone, I will remind you." Takikawa Hikaru said beside him.

Naruse responded, and then went straight forward based on his sixth sense, and stopped when he felt that it was almost there, and raised his hand to touch the front of him.

puff-

"..."

He opened his eyes, and in front of him was the third grader who was the first to try just now, and his original goal had long been left behind by him.

"It seems that the handsome younger brother in the first grade can't get a good relationship smoothly."

Naruse was silent for a while, then looked back at the stone that he moved forward by instinct but could not touch.

"It seems so."

"what……"

The senior was stunned, "It's just a joke, don't show such a resigned expression... If it doesn't work, just follow me."

Naruse smiled again.

"Sorry, I don't really like people older than me."

The senior sister raised her eyebrows, not satisfied with his casual perfunctory: "Maybe it's because of this reason that I missed the good match."

"No, that..."

Someone hit him.

Naruse turned his head, starfish who just opened his eyes stared blankly at him, his hands helplessly froze in mid-air, and couldn't help turning his head to look at the love divination stone a few meters away.

"Sure enough, it's the problem of the deflection force of the earth!" Takigawa Hikaru shouted from the other side.
