Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today

"that……"

Haibara Ai also suddenly realized how much harm her words had caused to Fujimaru Ritsuka, so she scratched her head in embarrassment and comforted her in a far-fetched way:

"Anyway, just take your time."

"yes."

Ma Xiu on the side quickly nodded in agreement.

Because she had been worrying about writing a report these days, Fujimaru Ritsuka's condition seemed much worse than usual, which made her a little worried.

So relying on Hui Yuan Ai's words, Masuo suggested:

"Senior, how about going on a little trip to rest and change your mood?"

"Going out?"

Hearing Mashu's suggestion, Fujimaru Ritsuka was immediately moved, because this was what she and Mashu had originally planned.

However, she hesitated and said:

"But the report..."

"If it's just a short trip of two days and one night, it shouldn't have any impact."

Matthew smiled and said:

"Besides, if you go out to relax and then come back to work, you may be more motivated. I think even the new director can understand, right?"

"Um--"

After pondering for a moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka decisively knocked on his hands and said:

"Okay, that's it!"

Indeed, it is too painful to shut yourself up at home and immerse yourself in writing. As expected, you have to go out and change your mood.

Regardless of whether the new director would understand or not, she was convinced almost instantly.

So after confirming this matter, Fujimaru Ritsuka's original decadent aura immediately dissipated, and he suddenly stood up from the chair, his face radiant, and he said with anticipation:

"Then, where should we go to play——!"

"Since it's two days and one night, then we shouldn't go too far. In that case..."

"...?"

Seeing that Fujimaru Ritsuka's temperament changed almost instantly, and quickly switched to a leisure state, and began to choose travel destinations with great interest, Haibara Ai and Mashu couldn't help but be stunned.

I have to say, this state of recovery is too fast, right?

But looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka's appearance, Mashu couldn't help but smile knowingly, and then said with some embarrassment:

"Well, senior..."

"Actually, last night I accidentally discovered a hot spring hotel online. It looked pretty good."

"Hot spring hotel?"

When talking about hot springs, places like Gunma Prefecture, Gifu Prefecture, and Oita Prefecture usually come to mind.

However, the hot spring hotel that Mashu recommended was not located among them. It was in a rural area called Ashi Town Medicine Pot Village near Tokyo. It was an ordinary-sounding rural hot spring hotel called Ashi Hotel.

Although it sounds unremarkable, it seems to be gradually becoming more famous now.

Firstly, because the local scenery and temperament are very good, secondly because the hotel itself and the service are also satisfactory. Most importantly, it is said that someone once saw Zashiki Warashi in the hotel, which attracted many people to visit.

Zashiki Warashi is a kind of monster in Japanese legend, but unlike most scary and vicious monsters, Zashiki Warashi is a friendly monster.

They will appear as children and attach themselves to the home. Legend has it that as long as there are Zashiki boys, the family will prosper. Therefore, instead of expelling them, people worship them as gods to pray for good luck.

"Zashiki Warashi?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but look forward to it:

"It would be great if I could really see it. In that case, please help me finish writing the report."

Hearing this, Hui Yuan Ai couldn't help but complain:

"Although I don't want to hurt you, I think Zashiki Warashi probably doesn't have such ability."

"Well...but the scenery does look good..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka roughly understood the situation of the hot spring hotel, so she nodded and smiled at Mashu:

"Then let's go here!"

Let's not talk about Zashiki Warashi's problem for the moment. Now she also wants to leave the noisy and noisy city and go to the countryside to experience the fresh and peaceful pastoral scenery to change her mood.

Then, she smiled sadly at Haiyuan and said:

"Xiao Ai, do you want to come with us? It's not that far from Tokyo anyway, and we'll be back soon."

"Um……"

However, Hui Yuan Ai pondered for a moment, glanced at the slightly nervous Masu without any trace, and finally shook his head and said:

"I won't go this time. Sister Ritsuka, I hope you can have fun."

Although Matthew was talking about a hot spring hotel that he saw accidentally, no matter how you look at it, it looks more like the result of careful selection.

In order to let Fujimaru Ritsuka relax, Mashu must have thought about it for a long time, right?

Although she also wanted to stay with Fujimaru Ritsuka, at this time, she felt that it was better not to be a light bulb.

…

…

After determining their travel goals and getting Little Leonardo's consent, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu booked a room at a hot spring hotel that day, and then took the tram all the way to Medicine Pot Township.

"reached!"

Standing at the entrance of the tram station in the rural-style Yaokan Township, Fujimaru Ritsuka cheered. Feeling the fresh air blowing in front of her, she couldn't help but stretch her body and sighed with a smile:

"It looks really nice here."

Although Yaokanago is located right next to Tokyo, and the weather is also sunny, the temperature is cooler, and the wind blowing on your face feels very comfortable.

Seeing the smile on Fujimaru Ritsuka's face, Mashu felt relieved and also smiled.

Speaking of which, this trip is just the two of us, senior and I, so that means...

Not knowing what he thought of, Ma Xiu's face turned slightly red, but he quickly adjusted it and introduced with a smile:

"Senior, do you know? I checked some information and found out that the 'medicine pot' in Yaokan Township is a type of utensil used in decoction in the Celestial Dynasty. Not only that, it seems that because of the rich iron ore, this place The foundry industry is also very developed.”

"And Medicine Pot Township seems to be named because it is rich in medicinal pots."

However, upon hearing Mashu's introduction, Fujimaru Ritsuka chuckled and said:

"As for the medicine jar, I know what it is."

"Eh?"

Mashu was a little surprised, but Fujimaru Ritsuka just showed a mysterious smile, and then actively stepped forward and said:

"Anyway, let's go to the hotel first!"

"Ah, yes!"

Ma Xiu was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and then he quickly followed.

Following the instructions on the map, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu shuttled through the village. The scene of the two beautiful girls walking together attracted the attention of many villagers along the way.

Fujimaru Ritsuka discovered that there seemed to be many fox statues standing along the way.

So she guessed:

"People here probably believe in the God of Inari, right?"

Matthew smiled and responded:

"After all, the other party is the god in charge of harvest."

Inari is the god of grain and food in Japanese mythology. He is responsible for harvests and is widely believed in the countryside. His main messenger is the fox.

Therefore, in a place like Yaokan Township, it is normal to believe in Inari God.

Chatting all the way, the two came to the foot of the mountain on the edge of the village. In front of them was a narrow and long path with lush green bamboo forests on both sides.

"It seems to be right in front."

Walking through the bamboo forest, my eyes suddenly opened up.

A gate made of bamboo fences, wooden beams and thatch, full of rural atmosphere, appeared in front of them. The purple curtain hanging on the gate swayed slightly in the wind, looking full of life.

Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed again with a smile:

"It looks pretty good."

There is nothing to be afraid of anymore.

perhaps.

Speaking of which, this illustration function is really useful.
