"Xiao Ai? You
Why are you answering the phone?" Yushan Kazuto asked.
"Yes? Kazuto-sama! Kazuto-sama, why did you call me?" Hinazuru Ai's voice suddenly became a little nervous.
"You didn't come today, and Xiaohua said you didn't reply to her messages, so she was a little worried." Yushan Heren said.
After hearing Hinazuru Ai's voice, Yushan Kazuto breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately nothing happened.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry! My cell phone was confiscated by my mother, but I racked my brains but couldn't remember the phone numbers of Brother He Ren and Xiao Ai, so I didn't inform you. I'm very sorry!"
"It's okay, as long as nothing happens to you." Hearing this, Yushan Heren smiled.
"By the way, Xiao Ai, have you been grounded by your mother?"
"I took the initiative to apply for house arrest to calm my mother's anger." Hinazuru Ai suddenly lowered her voice.
Yushan Kazuto blinked. He didn't expect Hinazuru Ai to have such self-awareness.
"That's good that you're okay. Do you want to talk to Xiaohua? I'll give her my phone." Yushan Heren asked.
"Wait, wait a minute, Kazuto-nii?" Hinazuru Ai called out.
Yushan Kazuto blinked, "Ai, is there anything else?"
"Brother Kazuto, it's winter break anyway, you and Xiaoai...would you like to come and play with Kazukura this weekend?"
Yushan Kazuto scratched his head. If he had nothing to do on Sunday, he might have agreed. However, he had already promised Kirisu Madoka to attend the school's admissions visit on Sunday.
Chapter 590: Another Invitation
"Sorry, Xiao Ai, I have something else to do this Sunday."
Yushan Kazuto paused, then continued, "And didn't you say before? The rooms at Hinazuru Hotel are fully booked this weekend."
“Is… is that so?”
Even through the phone, Yushan Kazuto could imagine that Hinazuru Ai on the other end of the line looked a little depressed, with her hair drooping.
In this regard, Hayama Kazuto could only say sorry. After all, he had already promised Kirisu Mafuyu, and Hayama Kazuto did not have the habit of standing people up.
Although he was very interested in Wakura Onsen and Hinazuru Ryokan, Kazuto Hayama still had to refuse.
"Anything else, Xiaoai? If not, I'll give the phone to Xiaohua." Yushan Heren said.
"You...you give it to Xiaohua." Hinazuru Ai said, her voice a little low. Yushan Kazuto didn't know whether she was a little unhappy, or wanted to avoid Hinazuru Akina, or both.
"Xiaohua, Xiaoai wants you to answer the phone!" Yushan Heren shouted.
Shirosaki Hana blinked: "Xiao Ai? Is this really Xiao Ai's call?"
"Well, I called Hinazuru Ryokan, and it was Xiaoai who answered the call. It seemed that Xiaoai was helping with telephone reception at home." Yushan Kazuto said with a smile.
"Is that so?" Shirosaki Hana took the phone.
"Is it Xiao Ai?"
"Xiaohua, it's me!" Hinazaru Ai said excitedly. Although her tone was very happy, her voice was not loud.
"Xiao Ai, why didn't you come to Tokyo today? And why didn't you reply to my message?" Baisaki Hana asked hurriedly.
"It's a long story..."
Looking at Shirasaki Hana who was on the phone, Hayama Kazuto walked out of the room with a smile.
……
More than ten minutes later, Shirasaki Hana came out of the room. Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink. It turns out that every girl has the talent for talking on the phone for a long time?
"Brother Kazuto, do you have anything to do next Tuesday and Wednesday?" Shirosaki Hana walked straight to Kazuto Hayama and asked.
"No, what's wrong?" Yushan Heren said.
"Xiao Ai invited us to... Hinazuru Hotel." Shirasaki Hana blinked and said.
Hinazuru Ai originally wanted to invite the two of them on Monday, but they had to go to school to get their report cards on Monday, so they had to move it to Tuesday.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but smile. He didn't expect that Hinazuru Ai would invite someone else again and change the time.
Yushan Kazuto looked at Shirosaki Hana, blinked, and moved closer to her: "Hana, don't you want to go back earlier to see Aunt Haruka? Aunt Haruka has already returned to Tama."
Shirosaki Hana blinked. She naturally wanted to see her mother as soon as possible, but after Shirosaki Haruka returned to Tama, she went somewhere else to run errands for her father and has not returned home yet.
"Mom...is in Kobe now, not at home. She won't be home until next Friday." Shirasaki Hana blinked and said.
"Huh?" Yushan Kazuto grinned. He had never heard of this before. Shirasaki Haruka was not at home?
Kobe is the headquarters of the company where Hayama Kazuto's uncle works. Shirasaki Haruka went to Kobe to deal with issues related to Shirasaki Hana's father's work and reimbursement.
"Why didn't Aunt Haruka tell me?" Yushan Kazuto blinked. Shirasaki Hana knew everything, but she didn't.
"Mom said that if I told Brother Kazuto about you, Dad's company would definitely be under a lot of pressure...so she didn't tell Brother Kazuto about you, and she asked me to keep it a secret."
Originally, Shirosaki Hana didn't want to say it, but if she didn't tell Hayama Kazuto, it would be difficult for her to see her friend again.
Shirosaki Hana knew that she would stay in Tama to study this time when she returned to Tama.
Although this is also quite good, being able to reunite with Hoshino Hinata and Himesaka Noai, it is difficult to see friends in Tokyo and Hinazuru Ai who rushes to Tokyo from Wakura every week.
Originally, Shirosaki Hana thought she could meet Hinazuru Ai again today, but she didn't expect that she didn't come to Tokyo.
This time, Hinazuru Ai invited Shirasaki Hana to the party, and she wanted to accept the invitation no matter what.
Hearing Shirasaki Hana's expression, Hayama Kazuto couldn't help but blink. Shirasaki Haruka's worries were indeed correct.
"Well, since we have nothing to do on Tuesday and Wednesday, let's go to Watakura together." Yushan Kazuto said.
"Okay! I'll go tell Xiao Ai right now!" Baisaki Hana ran back to the room happily.
Yushan Kazuto sat on the sofa, looking up at the ceiling.
[Hinazuru Ryokan...? ]
Kazuto Hayama actually has some impression of Hinazuru Ryokan. When he was very young, he was taken to Wakura for vacation by his parents, and they also stayed at Hinazuru Ryokan at that time.
At that time, the proprietress of Hinazuru Ryokan was not yet Hinazuru Akina, and Hinazuru Ai was not born yet. This might be the only time that Hayama Kazuto's family traveled together. Not long after that, Hayama Kazuto's mother went to Europe for some reasons.
[I remember... the hot springs in Wakura were quite comfortable. ]
Yushan Kazuto smiled, fell back and lay on the sofa.
[By the way, Xiaohua and I went to Watakura, so what about Sagiri? ]
Yushan Kazuto suddenly thought of a big problem.
But there’s an ultimate stay-at-home girl in my house—Sagiri Izumi!
……
"Knock knock." Kazuto Yushan knocked on Sagiri Izumi's door.
Izumi Sagiri timidly opened the door. Her hair had grown a lot longer. "What's wrong, Kazuto-nii?"
"Sagiri, Xiaohua
I want to go to Wakura Hot Springs on Tuesday and Wednesday. I've already promised her, will you go with me?" Yushan Kazuto asked.
Hearing this question, Izumi Sagiri quickly shook her head. She didn't even want to go out, let alone travel.
She wasn't exactly sure where Hecang was, but since she would be there for two days, it couldn't be too close.
Going out or anything like that is absolutely not allowed!
"Don't rush to refuse." Yushan Kazuto blinked and quickly held the door. Izumi Sagiri even wanted to close the door directly.
"The Hinazuru Ryokan is a private hot spring hotel. You can stay in your room every day just like at home."
"I know you don't want to go out, but after Hana and I go out, how will you take care of yourself at home? Will you eat bread every day?"
Izumi Sagiri blinked. This was indeed a problem. Although she felt that being hungry for two days was not a big problem, she still didn't want to suffer this if possible.
"But... there are a lot of people on the train." Izumi Sagiri thought for a while before speaking slowly.
Thinking of the crowded train in her memory, Izumi Sagiri couldn't help feeling a little scared.
"That's okay. We can drive there ourselves instead of taking the train." Yushan Kazuto said with a smile.
"Drive, drive?" Izumi Sagiri looked at Yushan Kazuto.
"Yes, didn't you drive yourself when you came to Tokyo from Tama before?" Yushan Kazuto helped Izumi Sagiri recall the story.
Although Izumi Sagiri was riding in Shirasaki Haruka's car at the time, she had the impression that Hayama Kazuto did drive a car.
"Besides, after going to Wakura and seeing new scenery, wouldn't it also inspire inspiration for you, Sagiri?"
Hearing this, Izumi Sagiri was a little moved!
Chapter 591: Two consecutive victories! Thor's hammer wielder!
"Xiaohua, why are you still knitting a sweater so late?" Walking out of the bathroom, looking at Shirasakihua sitting on the bed, still working hard on knitting, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but say.
"It's winter vacation now, so it's okay to go to bed late." Shirosaki Hana blinked and said.
"Staying up late will cause hair loss, dark circles under your eyes, worse skin, and you won't grow taller!" Yushan Heren said in a somewhat threatening tone.
Baisakihua was obviously frightened and said quickly: "There is still a little bit left in this row. I will go to bed after I finish knitting this row."
Looking at the sweater in Shirosakika's hand, Yushan Kazuto nodded.
Shirasakihua quickened her pace and finished weaving the entire row in just a few minutes. She packed up her things and lay down.
Lying on the bed, Shirosaki Hana wanted to fall asleep quickly, but thoughts kept swirling in her mind.
"Brother Kazuto, are you asleep?" Shirosaki Hana suddenly said.
"Eh? Xiaohua, you haven't fallen asleep yet." Yushan Heren blinked. He still had to fight hard in the game later, so he couldn't go to bed so early.
"Isn't Brother Kazuto also awake?" Shirosaki Hana said softly.
"I want to wait until Xiaohua falls asleep before I go to bed." Yushan Heren smiled.
Shirosakihua felt a little confused, wondering why this matter was brought back to her.
But if she couldn't figure it out, she stopped thinking about it. In fact, she was a little sleepy, but she was a little curious about some things, so she wanted to ask questions and that's why she couldn't sleep.
"Kazuto-nii, how did you convince Sagiri-nii to go to Watakura with us?" asked Shirosaki Hana.
Except for eating, bathing or going to the toilet, Izumi Sagiri has never left the room. Shirasaki Hana is a little curious about how Hayama Kazuto persuaded Izumi Sagiri to travel together.
"How did you convince Sagiri?"
Yushan Kazuto blinked. He was not too clear about this. He did not talk much with Izumi Sagiri. After just a few words, Izumi Sagiri agreed to go on the trip together.
When asked why Izumi Sagiri agreed, Hayama Kazuto was a little confused.
"Maybe Sagiri wanted to find inspiration somewhere else, so she agreed?" Yushan Kazuto said uncertainly.
"Sister Sagiri, do you want to find inspiration?" Shirosaki Hana blinked, "Then Hekura is indeed a good place."
"Well, Wakura is located in Bentenzaki, Nanao Prefecture, near Nanao Bay. It not only has hot springs, but also the endless sea. It is a good place for tourism and rest." Hayama Kazuto nodded.
"But...if Sagiri-nee also goes to Watakura, who will take care of Xiaoxue?" Shirosaki Hana suddenly picked up Xiaoxue who was sleeping soundly, and Xiaoxue meowed a few times while being hugged.
"Does Hinazuru Inn allow pets?"
"It is not allowed in principle." Yushan and Rendao
"So, what if we tell Xiao Ai?" Baisakihua asked, stroking Xiao Xue's forged fur.
"If we tell Xiao Ai, she will definitely allow it. But after we return to Tokyo, Xiao Ai will be criticized by her mother. Xiao Hua, do you want Xiao Ai to be criticized?" asked Kazuto Yushan.
Shirosaki Hana quickly shook her head. She didn't want Hinazuru Ai to be blamed by Hinazuru Akina because of her, but it was indeed a problem that Xiaoxue had no one to take care of her at home.
"So...what should Xiaoxue do?"
"Wouldn't it be better to ask Koumeiro to help take care of her? I stayed in Tama and Chiba for almost a month during the summer vacation, and it was Koumeiro who helped take care of Koyuki." Yushan Kazuto said.
"Bury sister?" Shirosakihua blinked slightly, "Can she take good care of Xiaoxue?"
It’s not that Shirasaki Hana looks down on Doma Mai, but Doma Mai can’t take care of herself, stays up late and sleeps in every day, so it’s normal for Shirasaki Hana to have some doubts in her heart.
"Xiaohua, if Koumeiro hears what you said, she will be sad." Yushan Kazuto smiled.
Shirosaki Hana turned her head away. She knew that what she said just now was a bit too much, but since Tsuchima Mai had taken care of Xiaoxue for a month, then there shouldn't be any problem in taking care of her for these two days.
