The girl under the cherry blossoms, her smile is like a flower

The maple leaf forest is right behind the hot spring hotel. It is very close. Even with Chiyo Hanayamain's physique, there will be no problem in walking for a while.

A few people rested in the hotel, waited for a while, and then walked out of the room.

The waitress was sitting at the counter in the lobby. When she saw a few people, she stood up and bent down, with a friendly smile on her face.

"Are these guests going to hang around? Do you need me to introduce you?"

"No, we're just going to the back mountain to take a look."

Qing Gongfeng shook his head.

"Back mountain," the waitress said with a somewhat surprised expression, "the maple leaves there are very beautiful and the stream is very clear. I believe you guys will have a good time."

After the waitress said, "Please feel free to ask me if you have any questions," the few people left.

"Has Sir Minister been here before?"

Walking on the path leading to the back mountain, there are unknown weeds growing wildly on both sides of the road.

But it is obvious that there are traces of care here. Otherwise, the weeds will spread in all directions and the path will one day be covered.

"No, I rarely leave Tokyo."

Wearing a black dress, Hanazhanin Chiyo's exposed skin was extremely white. In the sun, the whiteness was dazzling.

At this time, Kiyomiya Kaede and Rina were walking in front, while Hazuki Yuka and Hanayamain Chiyo were following behind. There was no way, this path did not support four people walking side by side in a line.

"Okay, the place where we will stay together next time will be Karuizawa. The Minister has never been there, right?"

"I've never been there."

"But why is it Karuizawa?"

"I'd like to know too."

Yuka Hazuki raised her little hand, like a primary school student asking a question to the teacher.

"Because, well..." Kiyomiya Kaede thought seriously for a while and replied, "That's where Kuki Shoichiro and Matsubara Rinko died for their love."

"Eh?"

"Who is that?"

The two girls couldn't help but ask questions.

"..."

Hanashanyin Chiyo took a deep look at Qing Gongfeng. She knew who these two people were, but she couldn't tell them.

"You're kidding," Qing Gongfeng laughed and then explained, "Karuizawa is very cool, isn't it? When the summer vacation comes, Tokyo will definitely be extremely hot, so it's time to go to Karuizawa to escape the heat."

"It sounds good, but summer vacation is still far away."

Rina raised her hand to block the dazzling sunlight. Fortunately, the road was not long, so she didn't have to worry about the sun burning her skin.

Of course, the sunshine in early May cannot reach that point.

"Hmm, I may go home during the summer vacation and won't stay in Tokyo."

"I remember Hazuki-san's home is in the Seto Inland Sea. What kind of place is that?"

"There," Miss Yuka Hazuki, a light novel writer who has not yet debuted, was thinking of words in her mind.

"I think it's a very ordinary island. Maybe because I have been living there, no matter how special the place is, it has become ordinary."

"Ordinary shrines, ordinary convenience stores, you can only travel on the island by bicycle or walking. Of course, if you have a motorcycle license, you can also drive a motorcycle."

Although she said something ordinary, her expression showed that the girl named Yuka Hazuki loved that place deeply.

“There is only one school on the island, where primary school students and junior high school students go to school. The number of students and teachers in the whole school does not exceed 30. If you want to go to high school, you have to take a ship to a larger island nearby. But although there are fewer people, everyone on the island gets along harmoniously."

“Sounds like a very human place.”

"Yes, it's much better than indifferent Tokyo."

Talking along the way, it didn't take much time for them to reach Maple Leaf Forest.

The lush green leaves blocked most of the sunlight, leaving only a few fragments of light falling to the ground.

Green shade, sunshine, birdsong, streams, and the wind carrying the breath of summer blew their hair again.

"Well, that's great. It's a good idea to choose to stay here."

"It feels very summery and I already want to paint."

Rina said.

Just as a bard would choose to sing when seeing a beautiful scenery, it is normal for a painter to think of painting when he sees a beautiful scenery. Qing Gongfeng also thought about singing "The Wind Rises" here, but this thought only appeared for a moment and then disappeared. .

Hazuki-san should be describing this picture with beautiful words in his mind at this time, right? What about Mr. Buchou?

Qing Gongfeng looked at Hanashanyin Chiyo on the side. Her face was still expressionless, as if no matter what she saw, it could not make her emotions fluctuate.

Does it have to be scratched to be effective? Why don't you take advantage of today to tease Hazuki-san?

Thinking like this, the next second, Hanashanyin Chiyo turned her eyes to him.

Are your intuitions so keen? I've only been watching for a few seconds, and now I'm discovered?

Qing Gongfeng smiled slightly and acted very innocently.

It seems to be saying, "I just glanced at you accidentally. I didn't think about anything. Don't let me swim from Hakone to Tokyo Bay."

"Kiyomiya-san didn't go swimming in Tokyo Bay just now, how about making up for it now?"

Hanayamain Chiyo pointed to the stream in front that was not fast.

Qing Gongfeng's eyesight was very good, and he could see far because he was tall. According to his visual inspection, the depth of the stream did not even reach his knees, so was it reasonable to swim in it?

Also, are you sure that the Minister really doesn't have the ability to read minds?

When it comes to intuition, he really can't believe it!

"...Don't worry, Minister, in order to punish myself, I will swim ten, no, twenty times in the hot spring back and forth."

Patting his chest, Qing Gongfeng said confidently.

"But swimming in the hot spring will cause trouble to everyone."

"Yes, this is not good. Qingmiya-san, you can't do this."

"..."

Stop talking, really, I mean it, my dear Miss Rina and Miss Orange Cat, you two really stop talking, unless you really want me to swim from Sagami Bay to Tokyo Bay at night, That would really kill someone.

"What do you think? Kiyomiya-san."

Chiyo Hanashanyin calmly made the last stab.

"Well, the weather is really nice today, with sunshine, white clouds, and gentle breeze," Qing Gongfeng looked up at the sky and sighed: "The trees here are full of shade, which reminds me of a sentence in "Norwegian Wood"."

"What does that sentence say? Let me think about it. Oh, by the way, it says this. Everyone has his own forest..."

"Kyomiya-san."

"Ok?"

Being interrupted by Chiyo Hanazhanin, Qing Gongfeng turned away in confusion. His expression was just right, making people feel that it was inappropriate to interrupt such a beautiful young man.

"let's start."

Obviously, Hanayamain Chiyo didn't think there was anything wrong with this matter. She just pointed at the creek in front of her.

Qing Gongfeng's expression froze, and he looked to Rina and Hazuki Yuka aside, trying to ask for help.

"Come on, brother Feng! You must be handsome when entering the water."

The little cutie Rina cheered like this.

Thank you, Rina. In this situation, you have not forgotten to keep my appearance, but it turns out that this is your focus.

I really don’t believe in his charm at all. Even if Qing Gongfeng swims in a dog-paddle position, he is still handsome.

"Huh? Are you swimming here? Qingmiya-san didn't bring a swimsuit, right? Swimming here will make your clothes wet."

Hazuki Yuka was a little surprised.

Seeing her say this, Qing Gongfeng's eyes lit up. As expected of Ye Yue, he was still on his side.

"Why don't you let Kiyomiya-san put on your swimsuit and swim again."

The light in Qing Gongfeng's eyes went out for a moment.

Well, seriously, Hazuki-san, I want to thank you on behalf of my underwear.

"Ok?"

Hanayamain Chiyo tilted her head slightly, her emotions unclear.

"Well, well, what's going on? Suddenly I feel like singing."

Qing Gongfeng shook his head with unclear meaning.

"It's a short walk and stop-and-go, and there's a little bit of distance."

"I don't know if it's a story or a mood."

"Perhaps what you're looking forward to is just fighting against time."

"See you again."

"In the cool morning light."

"The smile is very sweet."

"..."
