"Then why did you take so long to come back?" Mizukoshi Mio couldn't help but look at Yushan Kazuto.
Yushan Heren blinked slightly. Was this question a way to kill him? He still wanted to live a few more years!
"When I was sending Asuna back to the hotel, I was stopped by her parents and had to talk to them for a while before I came back."
After thinking for a while, Yushan Heren finally spoke.
Apart from cleverly omitting some of the night conversations he had with Yukinoshita Yukino in the room, Kazuto Yuyama did not lie.
"Is that so?" Hinazuru Ai glanced at Yushan Kazuto and placed the last chess piece.
"Why don't you let them live here too? The Demon Lord's room is so big." Charlotte looked around and couldn't help but say.
Yushan Kazuto's room is indeed slightly larger than the other rooms, almost the size of a double room.
Ichinokumo Ryokan only needs one laundry room, but the hotel itself is designed symmetrically, so one room would be a little larger, and of course, the price would be higher.
As the main investor of this trip, Yushan Kazuto naturally occupied the largest room.
Hearing Charlotte's words, Yushan Heren suddenly felt a chill and couldn't help but look at Kong Yinzi.
Although Kong Yinzi didn't look at him, Yushan Heren could feel the coldness from her becoming more and more oppressive.
"Let's play chess, let's play chess. No more talking. I still want to take a hot spring bath after we finish playing!" Yushan Heren said hurriedly.
Sadano Ayano looked at Hayama Kazuto. She originally wanted to say something, but Hayama Kazuto's words stopped her from speaking. She could only focus her attention on the chessboard.
……
There were a lot of people, so Yushan and the others played fast chess, and one game didn't take much time, but it still lasted until 11 o'clock in the evening.
The chess game started quite late in the beginning, and each player played two games.
A total of five people played a round-robin match with Yushan Kazuto, which means that Yushan Kazuto played ten games in a row.
If many professional chess players were asked to play ten games in a row, they would probably be exhausted to the point of vomiting blood. However, Yushan Kazuto just felt a little tired, which was already very good.
After sending the others out of the room, Yushan and Renren looked at Shirasaki Hana: "Hana, you can go to the hot spring now!"
Shirosaki Hana climbed up from the tatami. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
But after thinking about it, Shirosaki still felt something was not right: "Kazuto-nii-san, what about you?"
"I'll go take a bath after you finish." Yushan Heren smiled.
Shirosaki Hana nodded slightly and walked towards the locker room. Yushan Kazuto turned around and was about to close the door, but found that Sora Ginko had come back at some point.
"Yin Zi, is there anything wrong?" Yushan Heren asked.
"Come out for a walk with me." Kong Yinzi looked at Yushan Heren and said in a tone that could not be refused.
Yushan Kazuto blinked and moved his lips slightly. He wanted to refuse, but he still walked out.
"It'd better not be too long. I'd be worried if Xiaohua didn't see me after running to the hot springs."
Kong Yinzi looked at Yushan and Ren and nodded slightly.
……
The same route, the same Lake Kawaguchi, even the starry sky is almost the same, except that the person next to Yushan Kazuto is replaced by Sora Ginko.
"Why did you call me out? I'm already out, but you don't want to say anything." Yushan Heren turned his head and looked at Kong Yinzi.
Kong Yin Zi blinked slightly, looked to the side, and slightly quickened her pace.
Yushan Heren couldn't help but feel a little strange. Why did this scene feel familiar?
Quickly catching up with Kong Yinzi, Yushan Heren couldn't help but look at the other's expression.
Although she looked cold, she did not show any anger. One could even sense a hint of shyness from Yushan and others.
Not knowing if he was wrong, Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink slightly.
"Let's turn back after we get to the convenience store in front." Yushan Kazuto said.
Kong Yinzi did not refuse and responded lightly: "Yeah."
On the way back, Kong Yinzi still didn't say a word, as if she called Yushan Kazuto out this time just because she wanted Yushan Kazuto to accompany her for a walk.
However, Yushan Kazuto always felt that something was weird. If Kong Ginko wanted him to accompany her for a walk, she could just say so. However, the atmosphere when walking beside Kong Ginko did not feel like a simple walk.
Yushan Heren felt that Kong Yinzi seemed to have something to say, but in the end she stopped herself and said nothing.
This made him a little distressed. To be honest, he was still somewhat curious about what Kong Yinzi wanted to say.
But Kong Yinzi remained silent all the way. In this regard, Yushan Heren could only spread his hands. He couldn't pry open Kong Yinzi's mouth and make her speak.
"Don't go any further, we're here."
Standing in front of the hotel, Yushan Kazuto warned.
Suddenly looking up, Kong Yinzi woke up from her dream. It turned out that she had returned to the Ichikumo Hotel without realizing it.
"By the way, what time is your bus tomorrow morning?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
On the Spring Equinox, Kong Ginko has activities at the chess institute and needs to catch the bus back to Tokyo early.
"Five fifty." Kong Yinzi glanced at Yushan Heren and replied sparingly.
"So early?" Yushan Heren grinned.
But it’s normal when you think about it. After all, there are only a few direct trains between Tokyo and Kawaguchiko every day.
"Then I'll wait for you in the parking lot at 5:30. You shouldn't need manual wake-up service, right?" Yushan Heren said.
Kong Yinzi raised her head and stared at Yushan Heren.
"Hey, what's with that expression? You don't really want me to come to your room to wake you up, do you?" Yushan Heren grinned.
Kong Yinzi immediately took out a folding fan and patted Yushan and others.
"Hey, why did you hit me? Pay for my medical expenses!" Yushan Heren said involuntarily.
Although it didn't hurt, Yushan Heren's performance was still a bit exaggerated. If he didn't show it off, Kong Yinzi's arrogance would become more and more powerful in the future.
"This is given to you as compensation." Kong Yinzi patted Yushan Heren on the body again.
Only then did Yushan Heren realize that Kong Yinzi had given this folding fan to him.
Chapter 1170: Calm Mind
"Well, it's Eriri's birthday today and you didn't give her a present, but you gave me something instead."
Taking the folding fan, Yushan Heren couldn't help but say.
Kong Yinzi opened her eyes wide and glared at Yushan Heren. Yushan Heren had no choice but to spread his hands and put away the folding fan.
Seeing this, Kong Yinzi turned around and walked into the hotel.
[This folding fan is what Ginko bought when he was in Oshino Hakkai, right? ]
Yushan Heren blinked slightly, stopped at the door for a moment, and then followed him in.
……
Back in the room, Shirasaki Hana had just finished taking a hot spring bath, and Yushan Kazuto secretly thanked his luck that he had returned in time.
Just as I was secretly happy, Shirasaki Hana came out of the dressing room in her pajamas and asked, "Kazuto-nii, where did you go just now?"
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly, wondering how Shirasakika found out that he had gone out.
But since Shirasakika had spoken, Yushan Kazuto still explained: "Ginko asked me to go out for a walk just now."
Shirasakika looked at Yushan Kazuto with some doubt in her eyes.
"Xiaohua, let me help you blow dry your hair." Yushan Heren said angrily.
After a change of thought, Shirasaki Hana nodded, and Yushan Kazuto breathed a sigh of relief. He walked to the side, took out a hair dryer, and started to blow Shirasaki Hana's hair.
……
After soaking in the hot spring, the clock had passed midnight. Looking at the bright moon in the sky and its reflection in Lake Kawaguchi, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but smile.
I won’t see you tomorrow.
Although we share the beauty of the moon even though we are thousands of miles apart, the moon in Yamanashi is not as round as the one in Tokyo.
However, being in different regions and being accompanied by different people, the feelings will naturally be different.
Tonight, the moonlight in the lake is particularly clear, as if it were printed on it.
Perhaps it was because there was no wind at night, so there were no ripples or waves.
Back in the room, Shirasaki Hana was still asleep. She was holding Kazuto Yuyama's cell phone in her hand, flipping through the various photos taken by Kazuto Yuyama.
"Kazuto-nii, where did you take this photo?"
Seeing Yushan Kazuto coming over, Shirasaki Hana couldn't help but ask.
When Yushan Kazuto looked, he saw that it was the sunset over Lake Motosu that he had taken at the Lake Motosu Observation Deck.
"It's over there on Lake Motosu, on an observation deck." Yushan Kazuto said.
"It's so beautiful!" Baisakihua couldn't help but say.
In the afternoon, she was busy teasing Xiaoxue and missed a lot of beautiful scenery.
"How was your trip to the Fuji Five Lakes?" asked Kazuto Hayama with a smile.
"It feels... very relaxing." Shirosaki Hana pondered for a long time and finally spoke.
It was difficult for her to describe how she felt about the trip and she could only say "relaxing".
"It's a good thing to be able to relax." Yushan Kazuto said with a smile.
"By the way, why didn't Sister Liuhua come?"
Among the three people, Doma Mai, Touma Sanae, and Takanashi Rikka, one of them is missing, and Shirasaki Hana always feels like something is missing.
"Your sister Rikka is still working hard on her exams! This weekend she applied to a school with a deviation value of 68, but by now, the exams should have been over."
Shirosaki Hana glanced at Yushan Kazuto and felt that he was talking nonsense. It was already past midnight. Who would have an exam so late?
But soon, Shirosaki Hana reacted and realized that what Hayama Kazuto said should be that Rikka Takanashi's entrance examination was already over.
"It sounds like it's very hard." Shirosaki Hana couldn't help but say.
"Of course it's hard work. Now you understand why I said it's a good thing to be able to relax." Yushan Kazuto smiled.
There are still many people who want to relax but can’t!
"Oh." Baisakihua blinked and nodded.
"Okay, it's time to go to bed. It's already past midnight and you're still not asleep." Yushan Heren urged.
Shirosaki Hana handed the phone back to Hayama Kazuto: "Brother Kazuto hasn't gone to bed yet."
"I played chess for so long last night, and you didn't do anything." Yushan Heren said.
Shirosaki Hana initially watched Yushan and others play chess, but when she realized she couldn't understand it at all, she walked away and played with her phone.
"But I can't go to the hot spring while playing chess with my brother," said Shirosaki Hana.
"Okay, okay, you have your reasons anyway." Yushan Heren had to say, "But you still have to go to bed early now!"
Shirosakika stole a glance at Hayama Kazuto and nodded.
"By the way, Xiaohua, you can sleep in a little tomorrow morning. You don't have to get up for morning exercises." Yushan Heren suddenly said.
"Why?" Baisakihua was a little confused.
"First, you slept very late today. Second, I have to send silver to the station early tomorrow morning. After delivering the silver, I will start morning exercises directly." Yushan Heren said.
"Sister Ginko is leaving tomorrow morning?" Shirasaki Hana couldn't help but blink slightly.
"There's nothing I can do. The chess academy is looking for money." Yushan Heren shrugged and said.
"Like this." Shirosaki Hana blinked and bit her lip.
"But I still want to get up and do morning exercises with Brother Kazuto."
"Really? It's very early!" Yushan Kazuto said.
"Yeah." Shirosaki Hana nodded.
Yushan Kazuto looked at Shirosaki Hana. Since the other party insisted, he would not force it.
