Rikiko Mountain is located in the northwest of Miyagi Prefecture, with Akita Prefecture and Iwate Prefecture to the north, and Yamagata Prefecture and Miyagi Prefecture to the south.

As four brothers in the Northeast region, these places are all rural areas for Tokyo people.

Although the Miyagi Prefecture people may not be as a countryman, after all, they have the largest city in the northeast - Sendai. But for Tokyo people, any area that takes the Shinkansen for more than 3 hours is a marginal area, which is undoubtedly true.

Because Riko Mountain has volcanic groups and active underground magma, it also has some hot springs. These hot springs are not even famous as hot springs in Hokkaido, but open-air hot springs do exist, and hot spring hotels do exist, such as the hotel that appears in front of Chi Linya now.

Except for Qingshui Shina, everyone else had pale faces.

My face was not because the hotel was in poor conditions. On the contrary, I climbed the mountain path and passed the dense bushes and flowers on both sides of the road. I could see bamboo fences guarding a small and interesting hotel, which felt like winding paths were hidden and the willows were bright.

They were up and down because they took the Shinkansen all the way north from Sendai. Not long after, they got off in Osaki City and got on the tourist bus. At first, the few people were talking and laughing in the car, but after 3 hours, they were already feeling motion sickness.

The driver of the sightseeing bus is a black-faced uncle wearing sunglasses. He rarely speaks, and looks like a retired detective in a morning police drama. Except for the four of them, most of them are old men and aunts. The whole car exudes the atmosphere of an elderly person.

Halfway through the drive, all the old men and women in the car got off. Misaki Miyagi was relieved to get off the car, but was pulled by Qingshui for an instant and sat there for another hour and a half before they arrived at their destination. It was already dusk, and the clouds in the sky were dyed blood red, and the crows' shrill cry echoed in the mountains.

"Get out of the car." Qingshui finally issued an instruction in an instant.

The few people in the car quickly got out of the car in a mess. Qingshui walked slowly at the end in an instant, and said something to the driver, thanking and bowing.

Looking from all directions, except for the cement road they came up, there were lush forests on all sides, and then the mountains in the distance. Apart from that, there was nothing, not even a figure.

Misaki Misaki put it on from the side, held Qian Linya's arm with his hands, and said tremblingly:

"I feel that this is like a scene that only exists in a detective novel."

Eagle Si Aoye stared at her with her eyes: "What detective novel?"

"It's that kind of murder in the secret room..."

Eagle Aoye pulled her sleeve: "Don't, stop talking..."

Qian Linya narrowed his eyes and looked at the lonely hotel, and said, "Open-air hot springs cannot form secret rooms at all."

What's amazing is that Miss Eagle was really comforted by his words.

"This hotel is more like a scene in a well-known game, called Wanji Mirror or something..."

"What kind of mirror is it?" Qingshui jumped out of the sightseeing car in an instant and asked with a smile.

Qian Linya was pondering how to explain it more decently, but Qingshui was not really looking forward to hearing the name of the game.

"Student Kiyomizu, is this the place where we stay?" Misaki Miyagi grabbed her sleeve.

Eagle Si Aoye grabbed her other sleeve: "How many days will you live?"

"Are you going to give up now?" Shimizu showed a confident smile. "We are going to stay here for a week. Believe me. In a week, maybe you all will not be willing to leave."

"Ding Ding--"

The sound of bicycle bells sounded behind them, and a junior high school girl wearing a sea soul shirt parked her bicycle next to them.

"Sister Shina!" The girl's skin was slightly dark and her cool short hair looked like she jumped out of Miyazaki's animation.

"Isn't this Komitsu?" Kiyomizu greeted her in an instant.

The girl named Mitsuki stood up on her bicycle that was too large for her, stared at her with her eyes, and then turned her eyes to the person beside her.

"They are all my classmates."

"Are they all high school students?" Mitsuki initially recognized her students, but seeing Qian Linya's kind-hearted appearance, she boldly spoke, "Did you come from Sendai?"

"First take the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Sendai, and then from Sendai to this side." Kiyomizu said ah.

"Tokyo? Wow, it's so awesome!" Mitsuki's eyes were almost glaring out, "Sister Shina knows people from Tokyo?"

"Hmm? Didn't I tell you? I'm in high school now in Tokyo."

"So amazing!" The girl kept gasping for cold breaths, not knowing where she thought it was powerful. Maybe for children in the countryside, any one who came from Tokyo would be very powerful.

Shimizu said suddenly: "We are here to stay here and stay here for a whole week."

"That's great!" said the girl cheerfully, "I'm on summer vacation now and I can come here to play every day."

"However, Hesu cannot play with you, there are important things to do." Shimizu reminded him kindly.

Mitsuki got off the bike, pushed the bike aside and stopped, clapped her palms, and said, "I'll go and call someone for you."

"No, I've already said it on the phone."

Before he finished speaking, the child had already run far ahead. Qingshui had to follow him helplessly.

The small team of four people finally started vigorously, and the suitcase business rumbled.

Misaki Misaki came over and asked, "Does the master want me to share the burden for you?"

Qian Linya was carrying a big bag on his back, and a suitcase on his left and right hands. Two or three convenience bags were hung on the suitcase, which looked very burdensome.

The reason why it was so cumbersome was because Qingshui Shina's suitcase was also taken by him. Because when Qingshui Shina's shopping items during the day, Qian Linya helped her get the things, and the two of them unknowingly developed this habit.

Since I thought of this, I naturally couldn't let my cute apprentice suffer. However, if I stuffed my luggage to Qingshui in person, I would seem a little childish, so I had to take everything alone.

Qingshui turned around in an instant, glanced at Qian Linya's large and small package, covered her mouth and smiled secretly, and said, "I was interrupted just now. I continued to say that the boss here knows me. I have already told me in advance that I want to use the kitchen. Then the hotel will be in a reserved state within a week, and only we live here."

“Purchase the venue?”

“Purchase the venue!”

Takashi Aoba and Misaki Misaki both asked questions at the same time, one was to think of the "secret room murder case" and the other was to consider the cost issue.

"If you book a venue, isn't the cost very expensive?" Qian Linya asked.

"It's okay, you're paying for it anyway," Shimizu blinked at him in an instant, "Has you agreed before?"

Before Qian Linya could speak, she then added: "100,000 yen, this is the lowest acquaintance price I have got for you."

Takashi Aoba did not respond to this number, Misaki Miyagi looked at his master with some concern.

Qian Linya was a little relaxed, but 100,000 yuan was not much. For a whole week, you should know that even those less famous hot spring hotels would cost 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a day to book a room.

However, his gratitude to Shimizumi was only last until he entered the hotel.

Mitsuki, who was running in front, helped them open the fence door with great thoughtfulness, jumped in the fine sandy courtyard and waited for them for a while. She immediately lifted up the curtain of the main entrance of the hotel and ran in and shouted, "Xingzi! There is a guest here!"

Everyone walked through the courtyard and walked into the hotel one after another. Although the hotel was small, the sparrows were small and had all the internal organs. The whole building was gentle and antique. Facing the front door was an embedded cashier, where an old man was motionless.

The old man looked a bit like a thick-haired version of the turtle fairy. His white beard was so thick that it almost blocked his entire face. He was thin and sat there like an old monk entering a meditation.

Qingshui walked over in an instant and shouted loudly: "Grandpa."

The white-bearded old man narrowed his eyes and glanced at Qingshui majestic for a moment, just nodded slightly without saying a word.

Qian Linya's previous gratitude to Qingshui suddenly disappeared.

He even began to suspect that Qingshui had specially pulled himself over to improve his performance at home.

A girl in a black kimono walked out of the inner room and knelt down on a blanket facing the middle of the gate. Then she bowed down a standard bow, and said softly and dignifiedly: "Welcome to Naruko Village. The guests are not well received in the mountains and fields. Please forgive me."

"Xingzi, don't be so polite."

The girl named Xingzi stood up with a serious look on her face: "Sister Shina, this is a practice. Even if you know a guest, you must be meticulous, so that you can win the return of other guests who don't know each other."

Mitsuki, who was standing beside her, smiled heartlessly and said, "There are not many guests you don't know in your hotel in the year, right? They are basically regular customers."

The Apricot girl in a kimono had a slightly red face and glared at the girl who was talking sarcastic words next to her.

A middle-aged woman with hair tied up and looked very kind came over, holding a few pairs of cotton slippers in her hand, and put them in the foyer well, then smiled and said, "This child only knows how to bicker and forget to do the business. Guests, please change your shoes... Just put them here, and I will help put them in the cabinet later."

Taking advantage of the time when the guests changed their shoes, she said to Shimizu Sasa: ​​"Miss Sasa is much more beautiful again."

Qingshui greeted the woman gently in an instant: "Where is, Aunt Mei, I've been awarded."

"And your classmates, girls are also very beautiful, boys are also... they are so majestic and handsome."

The woman looked at Qian Linya and said, "If you don't say it, you will definitely be considered a star when you walk on the street."

Qian Linya replied frankly: "No, because I usually wear student uniforms when I go out on the streets."

Shimizu turned around and said contemptuously: "You are still breathless when you say you are handsome. It seems that if you don't wear a student uniform, you will be considered a star."

“In fact, even wearing a student uniform, he is considered a star who is filming a campus drama.”

"Hehe, the relationship is so good." The hotel owner named Mei covered her mouth and laughed.

"Sister Shina's friends are all very elegant." Xingzi, who was still kneeling, said seriously.

Just now, the blush on my face just now fell because the boss said it, and now my mouth was pursed tightly, trying to show the momentum of the prostitute lady. In fact, my eyes exposed my inner thoughts. At this time, I was staring at Qian Linya's face with a straight face, almost unable to move my eyes.

The middle-aged woman led them to the seats in the main hall and brought them the appetizers made by Mai Cha and Liangen. While they sat down and rested, they kept kneeling beside them and explained the purpose of the hot spring and the situation of the room.

Only then did they realize that the older woman was the boss lady here and the aunt of Qumizushina, while the white-bearded old man was Qumizushina's grandfather, and Xingzi was Qumizu's cousin, and she was still in junior high school.

The day and night in the mountains felt very slow, and the surrounding environment was very peaceful, so Qian Linya felt a little drowsy when he heard it. He lay on the sofa with a cup, his eyes almost closed.

"By the way, the open-air hot springs here are mixed baths. If you care, you should pay attention to the bathing time. However, because the guests book a room, you don't have to worry about others using it. Just discuss the bathing time with each other."

Qian Linya suddenly woke up.
