In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 219

The sunset glows red in the sky, and the gentle breeze in the evening agitates this retro-style street.

Here, wind-shielding curtains, fancy tents, and city-style hot spring buildings occupy both sides.

Under the neon signs with thousands of lights, women in bathrobes with heavy makeup can be seen everywhere, and tourists with cameras taking pictures in front of them are also here in an endless stream.

I heard that there will be floats parading the streets at night, and the atmosphere of the Obon Festival will become more and more lively.

"Shall we go to the hot springs now?" Kai Uesugi asked Hanamaru Hanabi beside him.

"Mom, why did you make us go to the other side?"

On the bluestone slab streets, the soft summer white dress exudes a youthful and girlish atmosphere on her slender legs.

"Cough cough."

Kaoru Uesugi paused for a moment and said, "It's a private hot spring. Auntie and the others just now are public hot springs."

"Private hot spring?" Hanamaru Hanabi's eyes under the beanie blinked at him, "A hot spring with only two people?"

"There are only two people, and there is only one pool."

Hanamaru Hanabi understood the meaning, two people. One hot spring pool.

Don't you just want to soak in the hot spring together?
Staring at Kai Uesugi's face, Hanamaru Hanabi's face seemed to have some reaction again, she lowered her head in embarrassment and said:

"Mom. Always"

Kaoru Uesugi also felt that his mother-in-law was a bit too free to give away his own cabbages.

Such a good cabbage, are you afraid that no one will appreciate it?
Or, the mother-in-law really wants to hug her grandson.

"So...is it over now?" Kai Uesugi lowered his voice to make his voice sound more comfortable.

"."

"Okay," Hanamaru Hanabi softly agreed.

----------

Dogo Onsen has three hot spring buildings, the main building, the annex, and Dogo Onsen Tsubaki no Yu.

This is a symbol of the oldest hot spring in Japan. Dogo Onsen was originally a museum-level cultural building, but it continues to be open as an active public bath.

The huge soup house in Spirited Away is the inspiration here.

According to the address on the hot spring coupon given by the mother-in-law, the two arrived at this retro-style annex hot spring after walking through two streets.

Orange lights, low ceilings.

When walking towards the front desk reception staff, Uesugi Kai could even touch the wooden board above his head with just a hand.

In general hot spring hotels, after paying the bath fee, you can see "men's soup" and "women's soup".

But here is a private hot spring, and there are only three rooms in a pavilion, so there are no separate baths for men and women.

When you go in, you can see lockers and a wooden drawer full of towels hanging on the wall.

The lockers are used to store clothes and backpacks, and the towels in the wooden drawers are used to wipe or cover the body.

The stone bathroom is decorated with pine tree murals on fired terracotta panels, brightly lit inside and starry night outside.

In the center of the open-air bath surrounded by stones in front, there is a huge cylindrical "Yugama" outlet, from which hot spring water trickles out.

Surrounded by high fences, the grass beside the bath is dotted with clumps of swaying green bamboos.

The antique traditional bath creates a unique atmosphere in the hot spring hall.

The difference between private hot springs and public hot springs is that the store will provide some snacks and tea.

On the top of the locker, there are teapots and teacups and Shuixinxuan cakes.

Ehime's unique orange juice and orange wine are also available on top.

When Uesugi Kai saw the delicately packaged wine, he was actually considering whether to try it.

Like this kind of wine, the alcohol content should not be high, right?
Before soaking in the hot springs, you must take a bath.

On the right side of the stone chamber, there are three streams of hot springs flowing continuously from the groove above.

Kai Uesugi looked at the hot steam coming out of the bath, and said to Hanamaru Hanabi beside him:

"Shall I take a shower first or have a snack first?"

Hanamaru Hanabi crossed the fingers of her two small hands on the skirt, and said in a small voice, "Let's take a bath first."

For some reason, the air was suddenly quiet for a few seconds.

"Shall I wash it for you?" Uesugi Kai found that she didn't move, just stopped in place.

You can hear the sound of spring water falling into the pool.

Hanamaru Hanabi just blushed and said, "Okay."

After going to the dressing room to change the white dress and wrapping it in a white towel, the girl stepped on her bare feet and came out.

The girl's shy collarbone and snow-white fragrant shoulders are presented before her eyes.

Hanamaru Hanabi held the towel covering her chest with both hands, and didn't dare to look at him with a shy face.

"Kai-kun, go change your clothes first, Hanabi wash alone first"

The room was filled with fog.

Kai Uesugi just nodded to her rosy little face, "Yeah."

The dressing room is only blocked by a sliding curtain, and next to it is a wooden cabinet for clothes.

After Uesugi Kai put a white scarf on himself, he took the clothes he had folded and opened the cabinet.

The cabinet is very big, and Xiao Huahuo's clothes just now are stacked here.

Red hook jade, colorful bracelets, white dress, pink underwear, white bloomers, and the fat one who was secretly hidden in the middle of the clothes but showed a corner.

Since the last time she was called down from the tree in the park, she had been wearing knickerbockers to keep her clothes on.

Wearing a small skirt is actually a very distressing thing for girls.

Beautiful is beautiful, but when squatting or sitting on a stool, I worry about whether I have lost my clothes.

In order to solve these troubles of girls, bloomers came into being.

Tie a scarf around his waist, Uesugi Kai walked out, and found that Hanabi was already in the hot spring pool with his back facing him.

Didn't you tell me to help you take a bath?
Needless to say, Uesugi also knew that she was probably shy halfway through, and didn't want her naked self to be seen.

After taking a shower in the hot spring, Kai Uesugi took some juice and Mizushingen cake from the cabinet and brought them to the pool on a wooden plate.

Then stepped on the water and entered the hot spring.

In the hot springs, one would not know how to put on clothes and towels, but Xiao Huahuo wrapped herself in a towel on her chest.

The air is lingering, and the steaming hot spring water always warms every inch of skin on the body.

Uesugi Kai sat beside Hanamaru Hanabi, turned around and picked up a piece of Suishingen cake on a wooden plate, and handed it to her mouth.

The girl who seemed to be thinking about something subconsciously opened her mouth and bit down.

Then chew slowly.

Kai Uesugi didn't mind seeing that she only bit off two-thirds of it in one bite, and ate the rest in one bite.

"What are you thinking about?"

Hearing the sound, Hanamaru Hanabi came back to his senses, and the little head on the spring turned to look at him:

"Kai-kun, are Hanabi bothering you?"

Uesugi Kai smiled, picked up a pancake again, and fed it into the girl's mouth:
"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"Hanabi's character is very annoying." Hanamaru Hanabi buried her head in the spring water.

"Most of the time, there really isn't much energy," Uesugi said.

"Well," Hanamaru Hanabi nodded in the water, then poked her head out and said, "Hanabi also feels bored."

"It's annoying. Isn't it?" she asked him.

Kai Uesugi noticed that her pupils were trembling slightly, and understood that it was a sign of her lack of security.

Perhaps this is the reason why I thought of going to a far, far place to study by myself.

Uesugi Kai hugged her bare shoulders, and let the girl lean into his arms:

"Are you worried?"

"Um"

"But Hanabi always has to grow up, doesn't it?" Uesugi Kai said while holding the petite body of the girl in his arms, "I can share it for you, but I can't help you resist everything."

"But don't worry, Huahuo, Kai-kun will always be waiting for you."

There was a strange feeling flowing in the girl's heart, which forced her to want to get close to him and let him hug her.

"Kai-kun, would you like fireworks?"

"Will do."

"Kai-kun, don't you hate Hanabi?"

"Will not."

"Mr. Kai, will you always like her?"

"Will do."

Hanamaru Hanabi held his hand, carefully feeling the throbbing in his heart that could never be erased.

"I'm sorry Kai-kun, I'm sorry. Hanabi can't be the best. Hanabi is even very useless, very useless, and has always been protected by Kai-kun. I have troubled Kai-kun with many things."

"But Mr. Kai never hated her, never said she was annoying, never blamed her for the wrong things she did, Huahuo didn't know how to repay his concern, so he could only secretly like him, and only wanted him to like him Own."

Having said that, Hanamaru Hanabi paused for a few seconds, her eyes filled with anticipation:
"Kai-kun, is Hanabi selfish?"

"Like, isn't it all selfish?" Uesugi Kai smiled at the girl's upturned wet face, "Kai-kun doesn't want Hanabi to like other people either."

"Is it the same, Kai-kun?"

"of course."

Kai Uesugi pinched her nose, "So, try to be as happy as possible. We still have a long way to go in the future. Supporting each other, caring for each other, and giving to each other is what we should grow and learn along the way."

"Xiao Huahuo has many shortcomings, but Mr. Kai will always accompany her to change."

"Isn't what happened during this period a reflection of our mutual love?"

The girl's hands are small and soft.

Just like her character, she is soft and weak, and she will get hurt if she doesn't pay attention.

"Thank you." She called out cautiously.

"Then." Uesugi Kai turned around, put her back on the warm stone, put his hands on both sides of her, and looked at the girl's bright and shining eyes with his own eyes, "Kiss, okay?"

Hanamaru Hanabi heard his slow voice, closed her eyes, and slightly raised her neck.

Feeling the heat of the hot spring soaking her body, the girl slightly opened her cherry lips.

The warmth of sweet love blends and overflows, becoming more and more intense.

Hearing the rustling sound of the bamboo being blown by the night wind, Uesugi Kai couldn't help embracing the girl Xiangxiang's soft and delicate waist, and continued to bite on it.

The flowing love made Xiao Huahuo's small nose exhale some hot and contemptuous girlish breath from time to time.

After a long time, they separated again.

Hanamaru's colorful purple eyes became watery, the blush on her cute face was burning hot, and her two timid little hands rested on his chest.

The four eyes met, and after staring at each other for a long time, they couldn't calm down the throbbing heartbeat just below the throat.

Obviously the girl's breath was very sweet, but Kai Uesugi's mouth was a little dry.

"Fireworks."

"Um"

"A bit."

"."

Hanamaru Hanabi understood what he meant, lowered her head, and looked at the rippling hot spring water below her:

"Um"

Uesugi Kai sat up from the hot spring, and the hot spring just above his waistline made him open his body comfortably.

"Your Majesty."

Hanamaru Hanabi was wearing a white scarf, her face was so red that she could pinch water, and she lowered her head vigorously.

"Yeah." Uesugi Kai closed his eyes, raised his neck, and leaned his back against the stone.

"what's for dinner?"

"Aunt. Um. Didn't you say. Eat sushi?" Uesugi Kai's voice was intermittent.

"Are you eating sushi?"

"Yes."

"Why sushi...?"

"I do not know."

Hanamaru Hanabi's flustered heart asked her to find some topics indiscriminately.

"Your Majesty."

The ripples on the water surface of the bath are getting bigger and bigger.

"what happened?"

"Still, can't you?"

"Is Xiao Huahuo tired?"

"No, it's not," said Hanamaru Hanabi, stretching out her two small hands, listening to the sound of hot spring water flowing out of the soup kettle, "it's just...it feels so strange."

Kai Uesugi, who raised his chin, had already emptied his mind.

"Nothing. Hmm. Strange."

"It's so strange." Hanamaru Hanabi's voice was very weak, "It feels."

In the bath, the cylindrical soup kettle continuously flows down the hot spring that makes the skin red and hot.

"Hanabi." Uesugi Kai said, looking at the rippling hot spring water in front of him.

"Yeah..." Hanamaru Hanabi's voice had turned into a shy nasal voice like a small animal.

"What is the change in speed of a moving object from low to high per second?"

"Mr. Kai, what are you talking about?"

"Little knowledge of physics."

"physics?"

Hanamaru Hanabi's feverish little head, with her hands outstretched, was working hard at a super-high load.

In the end, she recalled what the physics teacher taught her, and thought of two words.

"Mr. Zhao." The blushing girl called out sweetly.

"how?"

Hanamaru Hanabi's cute little face is a little cherry red, and her soft hands are comfortable and caring.

"Hate."
