In the forest where there is almost no one, the sound of horse hooves is heard in the depths of the morning fog.

When walking down a slope like a mountain road, Watanabe Shirata feels lonely marching alone on the vast grassland.

The fog is cool, and there are always birds singing in your ears, occasionally there are sounds of water or other animals moving.

Passing by several unmanned villa courtyards, we came to a birch forest.

Gently pull the reins to the left and let the horse turn left into a trail leading to the villa.

On the trail, a figure was vaguely seen in the foggy forest.

The figure bent down and stared at the plants on the ground.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, the man stood up, looked here, and hurried back to the villa.

Tsuku Watanabe approached on his horse, the thick fog dissipated, and his vision became clear. He looked down and found that there were several beautiful mountain lilies.

He got off the horse here, tied the horse to the tree, and walked towards the villa hidden in the birch forest in front of him.

Including the lawn, it covers an area of ​​more than 10,000 square meters, which is very different from ordinary villas.

Shiro Watanabe walked forward and saw the lawn in the mist, where there were servants cleaning weeds and servants cleaning up moss.

Moss that grows freely elsewhere must grow here to what the owner likes.

Shiro Watanabe is here to get the Touryaki.

The owner of this villa is from Kyoto and is a friend of Mrs. Kujo. He arrived in Karuizawa yesterday and specially brought her a favorite food, the white jade royaki from Tanba, Kyoto.

"You are Watanabe Tetsukun, Miss Miki's boyfriend?"

"I'm Watanabe Toru for the first time meeting."

"Watanabe Jun is indeed as handsome as the legendary one."

"where."

"Why are you here early? The fog in the mountains will make your trousers wet. If you slip and fall into a certain place, no one will notice it in a while."

“I came on horseback.”

"We will also go on horseback riding in two days. Please take care of it when the time comes."

While greeting the villa hostess, Toru Watanabe looked at a corner of the forest, and a girl looked at this side.

It was the one who just squatted down to look at Shan Lily.

"That's my child, please take care of me in the next days."

"If it's a girl, I may have no choice. Meiji has the final say in my family."

"Yeah?"

"I'm just a terrible son-in-law."

"Haha, I heard that Watanabe is very talented."

After chatting for a while, Watanabe Shiraki took the Toroyaki from the mistress of the villa.

Back to the place where the horse was tied, the mountain lily had been eaten by it.

"You idiot." Tsuku Watanabe cursed and turned over and rode on.

"Let's go!" He shook the reins, "Why don't you run quickly and wait for someone to come and catch us?"

The horse chewed the lily of the mountain and ran happily into the forest in the fog.

On the way back, the morning mist wrapped in the forest was dispelled by the sun.

Through the fog, breaking through the blockade of busy branches, the sun casts beams of light in the forest.

At the end of the light column are the roots, moss, and paths shining in the sun.

Walking freely in the forest, Watanabe Shiro likes such a comfortable morning, the fog is cool and the birds are singing.

Such a scenery is endless.

I returned to the horse farm and walked back to the villa. Except for Miki Kujo, the rest of the people got up.

"Thank you for your hard work, let me get it here!" Mrs. Kujo blocked Watanabe Tsuki at the door and snatched the Toroyaki away.

"I promised that every day, you four people take turns, Xiaolian is casual. Why did I have the only one left in the morning since the previous few days?"

Mrs. Kujo ignored the complaints.

"Chestnut Red Bean Paste White Jade" When she walked to the dining table and put down the box of Toroyaki, she had already chosen all the chestnuts and white jade flavors she liked.

"Is that delicious?" Mrs. Kiyono asked with a big question.

"You will know after you eat it. This is the taste of my childhood."

"Every time you take it all, at least give me one."

"No." After refusing Mrs. Kiyono, Maki Kujo thought about it and gave one to Xiaolian for two flavors.

"Look at you as a child, I take special care of you," she said.

"Thank you very much." Xiaolian hugged the Doroyaki, which was smaller than the ordinary Doroyaki in her chest and bowed obediently.

"Where am I? My dear mother?" Shiro Watanabe changed his shoes and walked in. "The clothes and hair were wet with fog. Isn't there any of me?"

"There." Mrs. Kujo pointed to the remaining portion on the table.

On August 14th, breakfast was the Toroyaki that Watanabe took back from the heavy fog.

It was almost noon when Kujo Meiji got up.

Everyone decided to go out for a meal and then go to the art gallery to have a look.

"Watanabe, I hope this visit will make you clear about your painting level." Mrs. Kujo ridden her bicycle briskly on the sunny forest trail.

"Did I draw it well?" Tsukuba Watanabe said loudly, "I am willing to pay a million yen to buy the "Rin Kiyono in Karuizawa."

"You mean you nominated, but the one painted by Meiji?" Mrs. Kiyono's voice was melodious.

"Your logic is very problematic. Since I have nominated it, it is of course my painting. How could I get nominated by Meiji?"

"I'm still willing to do this." Miki Kyujo wore a handsome baseball cap and her hair was tied inside. Today, she took a cool and fashionable route.

No matter which route, Watanabe Tsuki wanted to hug her three times after seeing it.

"Meiji, you are the best for me. I will only invite you to have lunch today."

"Don't change the topic, we are talking about your painting skills!" Mrs. Kujo said dissatisfied.

"Please pay for the portrait rights first." Kiyono Rin was wearing a sun hat, and the blue ribbon on the hat was blown back by the wind.

"Meiji, she is talking to you."

"I'm talking about you, classmate XXX. One billion yen, please transfer it to my account."

"Aunt Kiyono," Toru Watanabe shouted to Mrs Kiyono in front, "Your family is rich by blackmail!"

"Yes! If you have a bad debt, you will have the best lawyer to deal with you!"

With laughter and joy, the bicycle passed through the verdant shade of trees.

After not meeting Mai Tomorrow's lunch, Watanabe Shira was taken into a gallery by his mother-in-law who despised him.

In the gallery, all those hanging on the walls are women without clothes and cats.

"Tsuji Fujita?" After reading a few pictures, Toru Watanabe immediately asked Rin Kiyono.

"Yes." Kiyono Rin was not interested in the woman who was not wearing clothes and just stared at the cat.

"You don't know?"

"The reason you know is that the woman in the painting doesn't wear clothes, it's not because she learns to draw anyway." Kiyono Rin said with certainty.

"You also have a time to guess wrong, R-Sang!" Watanabe Tsuki's voice was very happy.

"Then how do you know about Tsuji Fujita?" Mrs. Kujo asked back.

"Because my teacher Picasso."

"Huh?" There were more than Miki Kyujo who expressed doubts about this.

Watanabe Toru didn't care at all and continued: "It is said that Picasso lingers for more than three hours at the first solo exhibition in Fujita's Paris."

"lie."

"In fact, it is to learn how to make Miki happy. I have learned about the views of various masters on women, and Fujita Tsuji is one of them."

"What do you learn all day long? You are not allowed to read such books in the future without my permission." Miki Nijo ordered.

"I'm curious about what Fujita Tsuji said?" asked Mrs. Kiyono.

"Fujita believes that, 'Women and cats are the same creatures, and their eyes shine at night. Although they look cute and sensible, if you are not careful, you will completely forget all your kindness and easily betray your master.'"

"Just listening to these remarks, you will know that it is a person who acts erratic and lives crazy." Kiyono Rin said.

"It's worthy of being Doraemon, but I agree with the point of 'when the eyes shine at night'." The following sentence, Watanabe Toru said to Miki Kujo.

"We are each other, I am a woman, you are a cat, let's go light together at night." Miki Kujo said with a smile.
