I push the kid!

"Ten million?"

"That's enough for many, many nights."

"Indeed."

"Let's go."

"Oh!"

After eating the eel rice and tuna sushi provided free of charge by the hotel, the two did not order a bottle of whiskey or Japanese sake, but only drank two glasses of warm water.

In addition, desserts are also provided free of charge.

The woman in kimono who was in charge of the desserts told them that they could take as much as they wanted, just don't waste it.

They nodded in agreement, but only took a palm-sized donut covered with colorful chocolate chips.

The two of them broke it in half each, but Makimura Taku didn't finish it in the end.

At 1:30 in the afternoon, they were ready to go out.

Taku Makimura put "The Great Gatsby" into his bag, while Ai Hoshino took off her scarf and told him to change his clothes before going out.

"Okay, then I'll go out first." Makimura Taku raised his hand and said.

"Don't want to peek?"

"I can control it."

"Oh~" Hoshino Ai turned her index finger and finally pointed it at him, "Honest!"

"Polite and honest," Makimura Taku sighed, "How many good qualities do I have?"

"Very handsome!"

"Thank you." Makimura Taku walked out, the door closed, and his voice came from the corridor, "I'll wait for you at the door."

"OK!" Hoshino Ai said loudly.

At the gate, Makura Taku changed into his sneakers for going out and put the hot pack he bought on the way here inside his clothes.

When I walked out the door, the world was vast and desolate.

The warm sunshine shines down, the new onions sparkle, the snow on the eaves melts into water drops and falls down, beating out the winter ritual song one by one.

Looking into the distance, naughty children of six or seven years old were flying kites, women in wooden clogs were chatting not far away, and a man was chopping several bundles of firewood and carrying them back.

The outline of the mountains, the shape of the sun, the whisper of the leaves, the cry of the wind.

Even the wind has become traceable.

He leaned against the wooden wall and heard the barking of dogs blending into the slightly chilly air.

After a while, a disembodied voice came from behind:

"Makino-kun, let's go!"

"Oh."

He looked back and saw Hoshino Ai, wearing a black cotton jacket, dark blue jeans, and a pair of tan boots, standing under the pale yellow light.

She looked up at me while adjusting her warm gloves that came with two bunny dolls.

She didn't wear a hat on her head, but used a similar rabbit hair accessory to decorate her hair.

At this moment, she was pushing her hair back, revealing her mesmerizing white ears.

What a graceful figure it was! Even the northern scenery of a woman in white shirt pales in comparison to her.

After adjusting her gloves, Hoshino Ai walked over with a joyful pace.

She stopped in front of Taku Makimura, folded her hands behind her back, tilted her head at a lovely angle, and had a pure, flawless smile on her face:

"Is it really that good looking? I stared at it for a long time."

"Feel sorry."

"Let's go."

Makimura Taku nodded, Hoshino Ai wrapped her scarf around her neck, exhaled into the air, and the two of them walked out of the door together on the snow.

Along the way, the breeze was gentle and the sun was warm.

Foam-like clouds rolled in the blue sky, and the air I breathed was tinged with the colors of early winter.

It seems like spring is near. But in fact, it is still far away.

It was Hoshino Ai who made him feel that spring was coming.

Makimura Taku thought that was a smile that completely belonged to spring.

Even under the clear sky, the snow was difficult to melt completely, and the footprints of the two extended from the hotel to the foot of the mountain.

There are two routes for climbing the mountain, one is faster and the other is slower.

Hoshino Ai looked around and asked, "Which side should I choose?"

Taku Makimura said they were all about the same.

Hoshino Ai made a decision: "Then the left side will do!"

"Then I'll go to the right," said Makimura Taku, "and we'll meet at the top of the mountain."

Hoshino Ai squinted her eyes and stared at him, making a strange "tsk" sound.

"Just kidding, let's go to the left."

He had just taken two steps when Hoshino Ai grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"what happened?"

"Changed my mind!" Hoshino Ai raised the corners of her mouth mysteriously.

Makimura Taku looked at her, and she pointed to a road that was not a road:

"Mucun-kun, we must be different from others and carve out our own path!"

In the mixed woods where snow fell, the snow accumulation was much higher than in other places.

It might be a great attempt to be able to open a new path between trees and bushes.

Makimura Taku expressed his admiration: “Amazing.”

"I'm Hoshino Ai!" Hoshino Ai patted her chest proudly.

"But no."

"Why?" Hoshino Ai looked disappointed.

"What if we get lost? Will we freeze to death?" said Makimura Taku. "As the greediest girl and the most polite boy in the world, we can't die young."

"How could that be?"

"listen to me."

"timid."

"Listen to me." Makimura Taku repeated.

"I'll do as you say. I'll do as you say."

The footprints extended to the left, and the weeds on the roadside were bent by the melted snow.

I don’t know if this rhythm is okay, I want both the plot and the atmosphere.

Thank you everyone for your recommendation votes.

Chapter 5 5. She said she couldn't become an idol

The wind was cool, and the white pine leaves fell into the water and into the snow, disappearing without a trace like a drop of ink sinking into the sea.

"What a great weather," Hoshino Ai said cheerfully, "It's a perfect time to go hiking!"

"Yeah," Makimura Taku put his hands in his pockets, and walked about two meters behind her, looking at the golden light glittering on the dew on the leaves. "If I were alone, I would probably go to the hot spring first. After all, I've been on the train for so long."

"I'm sorry to ask you to come out with me."

"Fortunately."

"Let me ask you."

She turned her back, her movements incredibly graceful and agile, as if they had been carefully prepared.

The sunlight pouring down from the treetops flashed across her delicate profile and bounced back and forth on her black leather coat.

She put her hands behind her back, facing Makimura Taku, and stepped back: "Do you like mountain climbing?"

"I like reading, exercising, and listening to music. It's rare for me to go out, let alone go hiking, but I don't hate it."

"I like to read, exercise, and listen to music. I seldom go out," Hoshino Ai parroted, "How did you think of going out for a hike? Here I am."

"Relax." said Taku Makimura.

"Relax." She imitated the words again and blinked. "Were you in a bad mood before?"

"Why do you say that."

"Otherwise, why relax?"

"No need for a reason, just do it if you want to."

"That's it."

"It's that simple."

"It's that simple."

She said nothing more, turned around and walked forward, taking one step at a time, gazing at the sky as blue as the bay.

The long clouds stretched far away, like a road to fairyland.

Walking behind him, Makimura Taku was silent.

Looking at Hoshino Ai's bright purple hair, her confident and upright figure, and her slowly moving posture.
