Qing Keisuke tidied up his greetings and took Yuki out of the bag.
The little black cat with only some white toes lay limply on the tatami, its tail wagging slowly.
Crane Tang does not allow passengers to bring pets, but with Yuki's now spiritually enlightened abilities, it is really easy to avoid being discovered.
Since checking in, Aoi Keisuke has not found anything strange about this hotel - it seems that Hoshino did not choose this hotel because he knew something was wrong.
Aoi Keisuke made a pot of tea, and not long after, Otomo Sawaki came to the door with a contract.
In fact, travelers rarely ask for a contract to be drafted, but even if they do, they can quickly find a standard template.
Following him was a female general from Tsuruyu who claimed to be Sonoko Ozawa.
Ozawa Sonoko looks to be in her thirties, wearing a simple purple kimono. She has a plump body and brows that are as plain as someone who has come before.
"Earlier, Taozi was hiding behind and being a nymphomaniac, saying that my guest, you are one of the best in the world. I was also curious, so I followed you to take a look. I hope you won't blame me."
The female general's voice is very gentle. It sounds like a playful joke or a sincere compliment, which makes people feel very comfortable.
"Brother Qinggui is indeed handsome. I have been a driver for so long and this is the first time I have seen him."
"This kind of compliment is unnecessary."
Qing Keisuke raised his hand and invited the two of them to sit down at the low table in the living room.
He took the contract from Otomo Sawaki, which contained only two short pages. The price mainly started at 8,000 yen per day, and then increased based on the mileage traveled, with a maximum cap of 20,000 yen.
Zeshu Dayou provides transportation and on-call driving services, which to a certain extent also functions as a tour guide.
Such a price is certainly not cheap, but considering that Daze Mountain is so far away, it is actually quite reasonable.
Qing Keisuke added two items to the contract. One is that Otomo Sawaki should try his best to meet the two people's travel requirements. If they cannot meet the requirements, they must give specific reasons; the other is to change to a more comfortable car as much as possible. They can
Pay extra for car rental.
Since the most fundamental issue of money was not involved, Otomo Sawaki immediately re-drafted the contract with great satisfaction.
Ozawa Sonoko was a little surprised, and silently recited Aoi Keisuke's first request.
She smiled and asked: "Is there any place in particular that the guests want to go?"
"Yeah... I actually just listen to our president, because she has a troublesome personality, so it's best to write it into the contract." Qing Keisuke said carelessly.
In fact, he wanted to use this to get some secrets that Zeshu Otomo might know but was unwilling to reveal.
Being young and rich has become their best protection.
While printing the contract, the female general Ozawa Sonoko and Aoi Keisuke drank tea together at the observation deck and talked about places worth visiting in Yuzawa in the summer.
"By the way, General Ozawa..."
Qing Keisuke suddenly asked: "Besides your hotel, are there any other hotels or villages in Ozawa Mountain?"
"Ah, yes." Ozawa replied: "As for inns, Tsuruyu is the only one. There are several others on the nearby mountains, but most of them are closed in the summer.
As for villages, most of them were moved to towns a few decades ago, where they are more lively and there are children who have to go to school."
She continued: "But there are also some small villages that operate tourism projects. In winter, although those villages are small, they are also very cute. The eaves are covered with thick snow. They are also very popular attractions for tourists."
Qing Keisuke and the others came here in summer, so they couldn't see this kind of scenery.
Most of the tourists who come at this time are for Yuzawa's annual and prestigious concert, which attracts a large number of bands and fans every time.
After a while, Zeshu Otomo hurried over again, holding a newly printed contract with a faint smell of toner on it.
"Brother Qinggui, please check again."
"Um."
Qing Keisuke looked at it carefully again and confirmed that there was no problem. Under the witness of Ozawa Sonoko, he signed his name and stamped his seal.
"Okay, then this is established!" Zeshu Dayou said happily: "Brother Qinggui, I will stay in Hetang these days. If you need anything, just come to me!"
"live here?"
"Yes, I asked the female general to let me stay in the staff room at the back and help the hotel by the way."
Aoi Keisuke was thoughtful, and it seemed that the connection between Otomo Sawaki and Tsuruyu was far deeper than he thought.
He was a little concerned that a driver he found near the train station had such a coincidental connection.
After handling this matter, the two of them stopped disturbing Keisuke Aoi's time, and quickly said their goodbyes and left. When they left, Otomo Sawaki was chatting with the female general, and they were talking about inviting the female general to drink soju in the evening.
Aoi Keisuke looked away and saw that Hoshino Fujiko still hadn't sent him a message, so he simply changed into a yukata and prepared to take a bath in the large bathhouse of Tsuruyu.
He tentatively sent a message to Hoshino to inform him of his whereabouts.
As for yuki, let him explore the mountains and forests on his own.
After changing clothes and wearing clogs and going out, Hoshino still didn't reply. Qing Keisuke guessed that she fell asleep after taking a bath.
After all, taking a train makes you look sleep deprived.
Qing Keisuke was led by other receptionists to the men's hot spring. Although the afternoon in Osawa Mountain was not too hot, and it was not at all the inexplicable heat of Tokyo, he was still the only one in the hot spring.
After taking off his clothes and simply putting on a bath towel, Aoi Keisuke walked into the bathhouse of Tsuruyu.
The first thing you see is a rather comic-like hot spring pool, with rough natural stones lining the edge of the pool and a wooden square water inlet gurgling with water.
The hot air carries a body-mellowing smell.
By the way, this is an open-air bath, and there is a small pavilion-like awning standing on the water next to it.
Aoi Keisuke simply rinsed off the sweat from his body, then stepped into the pool and leisurely enjoyed the beginning of his hot spring trip.
Hoshino Fujiko didn't say how many days he would stay, but Aoi Keisuke probably wouldn't leave until he found the answer, so he had to be prepared to stay in Yuzawa for a long time.
But it's definitely not bad to stay in such a pure place for a while. Qing Keisuke sank into the water and let the slightly hot hot spring water wash his body and mind.
He began to think about how he had been feeling somewhat unbalanced during this period of time.
The high temperature brought me back to that beautiful morning I spent with Kamaba Yui. The shy face of the miko at that time still makes my face warm to this day.
Then he thought about the letter he and Arisukawa had agreed to send to her. If you were a great writer, staying in a hotel like this would be the time when your creative ideas flowed out and you could write a lot.
What would I want to share with her now?
Qing Keisuke's mind gradually became empty, and he forgot the beginning of what he had just thought of.
In short, I can send her a postcard from Yuzawa another day.
