137. My eldest brother may have some problem with his brain...
.......
During more than an hour of swaying on the bus,
The Nagayama family was fascinated by the lake and came to the Asarigawa Hot Spring Resort in Otaru City.
Nagayama Naoki booked the famous high-end hot spring hotel Hongakuen in the resort. It is a Japanese-style garden-like hotel with pleasant scenery that changes with the four seasons. It also has the famous "Beauty Hot Spring" hot spring that is said to soften the skin.
However, several people were a little sleepy now. After checking in, they asked the waiter to lead them to the large suite to rest.
The warm air conditioner made people feel more sleepy, and they actually slept until the evening.
.....
Open your eyes and change into loose clothes,
When they arrived at the living room of the suite, my father and mother were already awake and watching TV programs in the living room.
"Naoki, have you rested?" My mother, who was reading a landscape magazine, saw Nagayama Naoki coming out and asked, "Do you want something to drink?"
"Hi, Arigado." Nagayama Naoki looked at the other rooms, "Are Tsuruko and Big Brother awake yet?"
"Well, Tsuruko is still sleeping." Mother handed Nagayama Naoki a cup of hot tea, "Aoki woke up long ago and is now enjoying the scenery outside."
“The scenery in Hongyuan Garden is indeed very good.”
Nagayama Naoki sipped the hot tea and thought to himself, "There is also a 'Beauty Soup' that is said to soften the skin"...I wonder if men can take the tea, it's nothing else, I'm just curious.
"Father, mother, when Tsuruko wakes up, let's go to the hot springs."
"I'll wake up Tsuruko in a while. I won't be able to sleep again at night." The mother said this, clearly treating Tsuruko as a child.
"Haha, then I'll go find big brother."
When you step on the tatami of the hotel with your slippers, you can barely hear any sound, and the whole hotel seems very quiet.
But when we got out of the room, we were wearing wooden clogs, and it was snowing lightly outside!
In such weather, wearing wooden clogs and going to the snowy courtyard to enjoy the snowy scenery sounds like a very poetic act, but in practice, it is simply... Bah, bah, bah, you can't say that, big brother.
Nagayama Naoki put on his clogs and quickly searched the courtyard. After a while, he saw the back of his elder brother wearing a Japanese coat under a plum blossom.
When I got closer, I saw, oh, this guy was wearing thick cotton clothes, his hands were rubbing each other, and his legs were shaking slightly...
"Brother, what are you doing here?"
"Ah, it's Naoki," the eldest brother turned around and said, "I used to see the ancient nobles on TV. They all liked to wear clogs and kimonos to visit the courtyard in winter. I just happened to give it a try today. Naoki, tell me, they
Is not It Cold?"
...My eldest brother may have something wrong with his brain...
In fact, although he looks very mature, Nagayama Aoki is actually only 23 years old, and it is actually reasonable to have such thoughts of being a middle school student.
"Brother, go back quickly..." I didn't say anything more. We are all adults, so we should save some face for each other. "We will go to the hot springs later."
"Is that so? Let's go," he breathed and quickly ran indoors.
Nagayama Naoki laughed. This big brother usually looks old-fashioned and heavy-headed, but in fact he is still a young man at heart.
After returning to the suite, sure enough, Tsuruko had also gotten up.
Nagayama Naoki took the instruction sheet he got from the front desk and said: "Mother and Tsuruko, you can go to the spa first, and then go to the 'Beauty Soup', or you can change the order."
"For us men, we can just go to the outdoor bath and then go to the steam room."
"Finally, around 5 o'clock, we will go to the restaurant to eat."
Although mixed bathing is very common in Japan, the Nagayama family is still relatively conservative on this point. Naturally, Koen Rakuten also has separate hot springs for men and women.
After washing themselves for a while and putting on the yukata provided by the hotel, they headed to the hot spring on the first floor.
The outdoor bath was surrounded by straw mats to create a semi-private space. High and low stones surrounded a small pool. Wisps of water vapor were rising, making the hot spring pool look like flowers in the mist.
Generally the model is unclear.
The three men of the Yongshan family entered the pool, and the slightly hot water enveloped their bodies, completely keeping them away from the cold outside.
"Ah, it's so comfortable! The water temperature is just right."
Nagayama Aoki felt that his body that had been stiff from the cold suddenly relaxed, and his father also relaxed and exclaimed: "It is really enjoyable to soak in such a hot spring in winter! It would be better if I could drink a little wine.
.”
"It's available here." Naoki Nagayama pulled the fruit plate aside and saw several bottles of sake. "Please use a small amount."
The three of them were all people who could drink openly, so they were naturally not polite. They chatted about interesting things in life while drinking wine and eating fruit.
"Naoki, do you have any plans for next year?" His father seemed to suddenly think,
"Well, I suddenly said that I have any plans... I don't have any special plans. I might try to make a few movies or something." Nagayama Naoki was a little confused when he was asked, "Father, what's wrong?"
"Um, Naoki is almost in his 20s. Do you have any thoughts on starting a family?"
"Eh? Why do you say this suddenly?"
Are you suddenly being urged to get married? I've just come of age...Isn't it too early? Doesn't Japan not care about this?
In fact, it was during the Heisei and Reiwa periods that singleness became more and more accepted. In the previous Showa period, there were still many people getting married on blind dates, especially in small cities.
"Actually, many people have already asked about your mother."
Indeed, after his fame as a writer spread, coupled with the impression that he had a lot of money before driving a luxury car, Naoki Nagayama can be said to be a hot commodity in the small town of Shizuoka.
"Ah, shouldn't I ask the eldest brother first?" Isn't there a single guy in front of me?
"Your eldest brother has been on a blind date for a long time... Aoki, how are you getting along with that girl before? Are you still dating?"
Nagayama Aoki, who was drinking happily, did not expect that it would suddenly be his turn again.
"Ah, Keiko, we get along just fine." She said with a heartless look, "I went out to play a few times, but she always doesn't like fishing, and she talks in a sticky manner, which is not fun at all. The last few days
I seem to be very busy every month and never have time.”
"Hey..." x2
Nagayama Ken and Nagayama Naoki have no idea that their eldest brother can get out of singles on his own.
"Father, I haven't met anyone I like yet, so I'm not too anxious for the time being." Nagayama Naoki paused, "As for blind dates, let's not arrange them for the time being."
"Okay, I'm also asking for your mother."
Takeru Nagayama is obviously not worried about Naoki's lifelong affairs. He is handsome, wealthy and young. There is nothing to be afraid of, as long as he is not gay.
"Hi, Arigado, but let's give priority to my eldest brother."
Watching Aoki swallow a grape, spit the seeds out of the hot spring, and then take a sip of sake
