Anyway, the car ride tomorrow is quite long, and Shirasaki Hana can get some sleep in the car.
"Well... go to bed now so you can get up early tomorrow."
Shirosaki Hana closed her eyes obediently and whispered, "Good night, Kazuto-nii."
"Good night, Xiaohua." Yushan Heren smiled, turned off the lights, and lay down.
The hotel does not have the voice control system like the one in Yushan Kazuto's room, so he has to control the switch himself. Fortunately, it is not far from where he sleeps.
After getting into bed, Yushan Heren discovered that the folding fan that Kong Yinzi gave him was actually in the quilt, so he had to take it out and put it next to the pillow.
Hearing some rustling sounds, Shirosaki Hana opened her eyes involuntarily. Seeing the folding fan beside Yushan Kazuto's pillow, she couldn't help but think of the words on the fan.
"Kazuto-nii, what does 'calm as a heart' mean?" Shirosaki Hana suddenly asked.
"Huh? This word is a Chinese idiom, which means that the heart is as calm as still water. It describes sticking to one's beliefs and not being affected by the outside world. It also has some other extended meanings."
Hayama Kazuto explained.
Shirosakika responded with a vague expression.
"By the way, where did you see this word?" Yushan Heren asked.
"I'm sorry, Brother Kazuto, I peeked at the folding fan that Sister Ginko gave you." Shirosaki Hana whispered.
Yushan Heren blinked. In fact, he didn't care. "It's okay. I didn't even look at it myself. Did she write the inscription?"
"Yeah." Shirosaki Hana nodded.
"Maybe it was because he saw the calm waters of Oshino Hakkai that he had some insights and wrote it down," said Yushan Kazuto.
"Oh." Although she didn't understand, Shirasaki Hana still responded.
With the help of moonlight, Yushan Heren opened his folding fan, and the four big words "heart as calm as water" appeared before his eyes.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
There is no surname of Kong Yinzi in the signature, only the two words "Yinzi".
Chapter 1171: Minobu Buns
After breakfast, it was almost time to leave Lake Kawaguchi.
Although there is still one day left today, Yushan and his group came to Yamanashi for a second purpose - to enjoy the cherry blossoms.
The average altitude of the Fuji Five Lakes is over 800 meters, and the temperature is several degrees lower than that of Tokyo, Kofu and other places.
Today, spring has just begun for the Fuji Five Lakes, and there is still some time before the cherry blossoms bloom.
Today's destination is Kofu.
Kofu is located in a basin, and its altitude is relatively high compared to Tokyo. The cherry blossoms are now in full bloom.
After strolling around Kofu and having lunch, it was almost time to go home.
After all, it takes nearly two hours to drive from Kofu to Tokyo.
Without any extra reminders, everyone started packing their luggage and got busy.
The hotel staff also roughly guessed that Yushan and his group would be leaving soon, and began to make arrangements for their farewell.
Many hotels do not have this service. At most they will just bow and say welcome to come again next time. However, the service of Ichinokumo Hotel is still quite strict.
This is somewhat similar to Hinazuru Ryokan, both of which are exquisite and strict traditional Japanese services. Ichinokumo Ryokan may be even more meticulous in details, after all, the hotel is so small and it is much easier to take care of it.
Of course, if we compare the hard aspects such as cuisine and the luxury of the hotel, Ichinokumo Ryokan is still not as good as Hinazuru Ryokan.
After all, Hinazuru Ryokan is a top-notch Japanese-style inn with a century-old history. In terms of heritage, Ichinokumo Ryokan is not very comparable.
……
After packing the suitcase, Yushan Kazuto pushed it out of the room, and Shirasaki Hana followed behind him, walking out with her head lowered.
"Hello, let me get it for you." Seeing Yushan and others walk out of the room, a waiter came over.
Yushan Kazuto blinked and handed the suitcase to the waiter: "Just put it in the parking lot, next to the white car."
"Ok."
The waiter said with a smile, and then looked at Shirasaki Hana: "Young lady, do you need help with your suitcase?"
Shirasaki Hana shook her head, walked around the waiter and headed towards the parking lot. Yushan Kazuto scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "She doesn't like this feeling of parting, don't mind."
The waiter smiled and shook his head: "It's okay. It's our honor to make customers reluctant to leave."
Yushan Kazuto blinked. In fact, Shirosaki Hana was not reluctant to leave the hotel, but she was feeling a little depressed because she thought that they would be separated again after today, and it might take more than a month before she could see Yushan Kazuto and the others again.
But since the waiter had misunderstood, Yushan Heren didn't want to expose it: "You go to the parking lot first, I have to check out the other room."
"Okay, please be careful not to leave any luggage behind." The waiter said with a smile, pulling the suitcase and walking towards the parking lot.
Yushan Kazuto blinked slightly, returned to the room, and after confirming that no items were left behind, he walked towards Izumi Sagiri's room.
In fact, even if there are items missing, Ichinokumo Hotel will not be stingy, but will help send it to your home, but the postage will not be included.
This also leads to some passengers who are prone to losing things often feeling mixed emotions when they receive their lost luggage.
The good thing is that my things are back to me, but the sad thing is that I have to pay a hefty express delivery fee again.
If the person who loses things happens to be a child, the adult who takes him out will often deduct the express delivery fee from the child's limited pocket money.
……
"Sagiri, have you packed everything?"
Looking at Izumi Sagiri who opened the door a little, Yushan Kazuto asked softly.
Izumi Sagiri said "hmm" and nodded.
"Once you've packed, go to the parking lot. We'll be leaving soon." Yushan Heren said.
Izumi Sagiri looked around and didn't see the waiter, so she breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked out.
……
"Hello, excuse me, are Yushan and the others still in the hotel?"
Looking at the breathless girl in front of him, the front desk staff recognized her. She was Shima Rin who had come to the hotel two days ago.
"They have already checked out. Do you need accommodation? It may take ten minutes to check in. The waiter has not cleaned the room yet."
The front desk staff looked down at the work list and saw that Yushan and his friends had checked out a few minutes ago.
Shima Rin's breathing was still rapid, but it was obvious that she was in a slightly low mood.
Although she drove to the Ichi-no-Kume Hotel as fast as she could, did she still miss it?
Noticing that Shima Rin's mood was a little off, the front desk staff realized that they might have misunderstood.
"Are you here to say goodbye? I'm sorry, I may have misunderstood your idea. If you are here to say goodbye, you can go to the parking lot now. Maybe you haven't left yet."
Hearing these words, the light in Shima Rin's eyes brightened again.
"Thank you very much." Shima Rin bowed to the staff and ran towards the parking lot.
The front desk clerk looked back and went back to work.
……
"Shima?"
Seeing the girl rushing into the parking lot, Yushan and
The man couldn't help but blink slightly and stopped the car.
Shima Rin ran to Hayama Kazuto's vehicle, looking out of breath.
Yushan Kazuto lowered the car window and looked at Shima Rin: "You came to see us off so early. Thank you for your hard work, Shima."
Shima Rin shook her head slightly and put a bulging paper bag in her hand into Yushan Kazuto's car.
Yushan Kazuto was a little surprised. He took the paper bag and found some steaming Minobu buns inside.
"You... went back to Minobu this morning to buy some buns and send them over?"
Minobu mantou is a unique delicacy in Minobu, and it is also very regional. At least I haven't seen it sold in the area around Kawaguchiko in Yushan and others.
"Hot...it tastes better when hot." Shima Rin finally managed to say something, but was interrupted by her panting.
Yushan Kazuto blinked. It was not far from Kawaguchiko when he came from Minobu. Judging from the current temperature, it was obvious that Shima Rin had put a lot of effort into keeping warm.
"Thank you, Shima." Yushan and others got out of the car and said.
Shima Rin shook his head, implying that it didn't matter.
"I bought so much, is it okay for me to share it with everyone?" Yushan Kazuto looked down and saw that there were at least twenty Minobu buns in the paper bag.
Shima Rin nodded. The reason why she bought so much was that she had the idea of sharing it with everyone to taste.
Yushan Kazuto glanced at Shima Rin and began to distribute them.
Chapter 1172 Questions from Kakamihara Nadeshiko
"One for each of you, and I'll take the rest."
After distributing all the Minobu steamed buns, there were still seven or eight left. Yushan Kazuto said as he stuffed one into Shima Rin's hand.
Feeling the warmth of his palm, Shima Rin still felt a little unbelievable.
"We agreed to give one to each person, so of course you get one too." Yushan Heren smiled.
The temperature from the palm of his hand spread, circulated throughout the body along the blood, and Shima Rin suddenly felt a little warm all over.
"Remember to contact me next time you come to Tokyo. I'll treat you to a delicious meal." Yushan and others got into the car and said with a smile.
Shima Rin glanced at Yushan Kazuto, nodded slightly, and started eating the Mitsukoshi buns with both hands.
Seeing this, Yushan Heren smiled slightly, reached out and took a Minobe bun and put it in his mouth.
The buns are not big and you can bite off half of them in one bite. The red bean filling in the center flows in your mouth, filling it with sweetness.
The dough is soft and sticky, and tastes smooth and chewy, making you open and close your lips faster.
Yushan Kazuto finished his Minobu mantou, while Shima Rin had only eaten half of his. In comparison, Yushan Kazuto felt like a cow chewing a peony.
"It tastes even better than I thought." Yushan Kazuto smiled and gave Shima Rin a thumbs up.
"Hmm." Shima Rin responded softly, still eating in small bites.
"Then we'll leave first. Thank you again, Shima, for specially sending us such delicious buns." Yushan Heren said.
Although he wanted to take something to express his gratitude, Yushan Heren found that he didn't have anything suitable to express his gratitude, so he had to give up.
Shima Rin stood in the parking lot and watched Yushan and his group of two cars leave the parking lot. Then she suddenly reacted and ran towards the hotel entrance.
The car drove to the door, and the Yuki family's car was already waiting at the door. Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuki Asuna both sat in that car. The two cars here were not as crowded as yesterday.
As for Yukinoshita Yukino's luggage, it was still left in the hotel in Yamanakako.
Yushan Kazuto has already called Yukinoshita Haruno, and asked her to come back and pack her luggage.
What made Yushan Heren feel a little strange was that when Yushan Heren called her, she didn't seem too angry, but instead felt relieved, which made Yushan Heren a little confused about her thoughts.
Three cars were parked in a row, with Yushan and his car in the front, and a small motorcycle following behind.
It is invisible when driving on a straight road, but when turning, Yushan Kazuto can see the appearance of the motorcycle in the rearview mirror.
Although it was far away, Yushan Kazuto could still distinguish it. It was Shima Rin's vinocssic.
In the first part of the journey, the two sides were somewhat similar. When Yushan and others went to Kofu, they had to enter Minobu first and then turn towards Kofu.
But as they drove on, Yushan Heren felt something was not right. It seemed that Shima Rin had specially ridden his motorcycle to see him and his group off.
The small motorcycle followed at the end, as if it had become an ancient guard, riding a horse behind, protecting the safety of the carriage in front.
It would be even more similar if there was a small motorcycle in front.
Yushan Kazuto blinked slightly and turned on the turn signal.
There was no need to turn ahead and there was no fork in the road. The driver of the Toumori family car following behind reacted immediately, turned on the turn signal, and overtook Yushan Heren's car.
Seeing that Kazuto Yuyama's turn signal was still not turned off, Yuki Shozo understood what Kazuto Yuyama meant and followed his car to overtake Kazuto Yuyama.
The car window slowly opened, Yushan Heren stretched out a hand and waved gently.
