"Wait a moment, your name is Kazuto Yuyama, right?" Hinazuru Akina suddenly walked up.
Hayama Kazuto nodded, but he didn't know why Hinazuru Akina had to confirm his name again.
"In the summer fourteen years ago, a couple brought their child to live in Hinazuru Ryokan. The child's name was Kazuto Yuyama, and he was the same age as you. He should be sixteen years old now." Hinazuru Akina seemed to be thinking about something.
Hinazuru Akina has some memories of the guests who have stayed in the inn, which is also an important reason why Hinazuru Inn has many repeat customers.
Yushan Kazuto blinked. He didn't expect that he had changed so much from when he was two years old, but Hinazuru Akina still remembered him.
"It's just that their family is from Chiba...but you are from Tokyo."
Chiba is not far from Tokyo, so moving is not impossible.
"Aunt Hinazuru, that child is me. I am studying in Tokyo now." Hayama Kazuto said with a smile.
Hinazuru Akina looked at Hayama Kazuto with some surprise. She could see from the beginning that Hayama Kazuto was a precocious child, but she didn't expect that he has grown up so much now.
Hinazuru Takashi looked at Yushan Kazuto, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Fourteen years ago, Hinazuru Akina had not yet inherited the Hinazuru Ryokan, and Hinazuru Takashi did not yet have the last name Hinazuru. At that time, he was still a kitchen helper in the Hinazuru Ryokan.
Because Yushan Kazuto's mother caught a cold and wanted to drink something warm at night, Yushan Yayoi went to the kitchen, but the kitchen was not allowed to work at night.
I originally thought that I would have to go out and buy it in Nanao City, but Hinazuru Takashi took the initiative to step forward and offered to help make ginger soup.
This little action was discovered by Hinazuru Akina. She originally wanted to punish Hinazuru Takashi severely, but after hearing the explanation, she, who was still a girl at the time, softened her heart a little.
She herself was also moved by Hinazuru Takashi's glorious image, and soon after the Yuyama family left Hinazuru Ryokan, the two fell in love.
However, after discovering their relationship, Hinazuru Akina's parents broke up the couple and fired Hinazuru Takashi.
Afterwards, Hinazuru Takashi returned to his hometown Osaka, but he didn't expect that Hinazuru Akina ran away from home and came to Osaka to find him.
Later, when Hinazuru Akina became pregnant, Hinazuru Akina's parents accepted Hinazuru Takashi, but they required him to marry into their family.
The reason why Hinazuru Takashi feels ashamed in front of Hinazuru Akina is that she married into the family, and another reason is that he once gave up this relationship.
Speaking of which, Yushan Kazuto's parents can be considered the matchmaker for the two of them.
"Are your parents okay now?" There was suddenly some tenderness in Hinazuru Akina's eyes, as if she remembered some things from the past.
Looking at Hinazuru Akina's expression, Yushan Kazuto suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Hinazuru Akina, who had always had a stern face, actually had a smile on her face at this moment.
"It's okay. Everything is going well."
Yushan and Rendao.
Everything he said was true. Hayama Yayoi was now a cabinet minister and a member of parliament, and Hayama Kazuto's mother also held huge amounts of money in Europe and the United States, making her a tycoon. However, the two of them were rarely together and might not meet once a year.
You have to ask them themselves what their specific feelings are. Yushan and others can only tell you the objective facts.
"That's good. Say hello to your parents for us." Hinazuru Takashi said gently.
Back then, Hinazuru Takashi had never had any contact with Hayama Kazuto, so he didn't have much impression of the name Hayama Kazuto. After meeting Hayama Kazuto several times, he didn't connect Hayama Kazuto with his parents.
"Uncle Hinazuru, does he also know my parents?" Yushan Kazuto smiled.
According to Xiao Ai's age, Hinazuru Takashi should not have been married to Hinazuru Akina at that time.
Hinazuru Takashi smiled innocently and did not explain: "Just say that Tennouji Takashi and his wife Akina send their regards to you. Your parents will understand."
Hinazuru Akina glared at Hinazuru Takashi. Even though he had changed his name, he still mentioned his old name.
"Tennoji Takashi? Is that your real surname, Uncle Hinazuru?" asked Hayama Kazuto.
Hinazuru Takashi nodded.
"It seems to be a surname from Osaka." Yushan Kazuto smiled. Tennoji is the name of a district in Osaka, which just borders Naniwa.
"I am indeed from Osaka." Hinazuru Takashi nodded.
Chapter 659: Kirisu Mafuyu Missed the Train
After a few pleasantries and agreeing to convey greetings to the two people, the vehicle slowly started moving.
Hinazuru Ai ran after the car and waved, and Shirasaki Hana also opened the window and kept waving goodbye.
Yushan and Ren had to slow down the car to give the two people enough time to say goodbye, but the distance between them was still getting farther and farther, and they gradually disappeared.
Parting is always a torment, especially since Shirasaki Hana is about to return to Tama. It is unknown how long it will take for the two to meet again.
As the vehicle was driving on the road, it was obvious that Shirasaki Hana was feeling a little uncomfortable, and Izumi Sagiri seemed to be infected by Shirasaki Hana and her expression was not very good either.
Yushan Heren could only take a deep breath. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to bring two people to Hekura this time.
The street lights on both sides of the road were dim, and there were very few vehicles and pedestrians. A pedestrian walking silently not far away was very conspicuous.
As they gradually approached the range of the low beam headlights, Yushan and the others confirmed that the person was indeed Kirisu Madoka. She was pushing a suitcase in her hands and silently moving in the opposite direction of Yushan and the others.
Yushan Kazuto blinked. Kirisu Mafuyu's current state obviously meant she would not return to Hinazuru Inn. If she did, there would be no explanation for the suitcase in her hand.
She now looks a bit like...she missed the train.
The high and low beam lights flashed alternately, catching Kirisu Madoka's attention. She could see that this was the car that Yushan Kazuto drove back to the hotel in the morning.
……
"Did you miss the bus?" Yushan Heren opened the car window.
He didn't call Kirisu teacher. Hayama Kazuto didn't want Shirasaki Hana and Izumi Sagiri to know that he knew Kirisu Mafuyu, otherwise what happened yesterday would be a little difficult to explain.
Kirisu Mafuyu nodded. She didn't expect the last departure time from Wakura Onsen Station would be so early.
"Where are you going back to? How about I give you a ride?" Yushan Heren asked deliberately.
Kirisu Madoka also understood what he meant. She knew that Kazuto Yuyama probably didn't want to expose their teacher-student relationship.
"I want to return to Tokyo." Kirisu Madoka said directly.
The corners of Yushan Kazuto's mouth twitched. His original plan was to send Kirisu Mafuyu to Kanazawa Station and let her take the bus back to Tokyo by herself, but he didn't expect that Kirisu Mafuyu's comprehension ability was so poor.
It’s not Kirisu Madoka’s fault. The most important thing is that she has already refunded her ticket back to Tokyo and plans to go back to Wakura to find a hotel to rest for one night before setting off again tomorrow.
But at this time, he met Hayama Kazuto and his group returning to Tokyo. He said that he was going to Kanazawa Station. He might not have time to buy a ticket, so he simply asked Hayama Kazuto to take him back to Tokyo.
"I'm also going back to Tokyo, you...you come up." Yushan Kazuto said with some difficulty.
Yushan Kazuto originally wanted to say goodbye immediately. He felt a little regretful. Why did he light the lights for Kirisu Madoka? Wouldn’t it be better to just drive past?
But since I have already gotten involved in this matter, I have no choice but to see it through to the end.
Kirisu Mafuyu put the luggage in the trunk and quickly climbed into the car. Fortunately, Shirosaki Hana and Izumi Sagiri were sitting in the back seat. If Izumi Sagiri was left alone with Kirisu Mafuyu, she would probably have planned to jump out of the car.
"Xiao Hana, Sagiri, you can take a rest for a while. It's quite boring to ride in the car at night. I will wake you up when we arrive in Tokyo." Yushan Kazuto turned his head and said.
"I understand, Kazuto-nii." Shirosaki Hana responded obediently, but she sat upright, as if she wanted to monitor Kazuto Hayama and Mafuyu Kirisu.
And Izumi Sagiri even took out her mask and put it on her face. Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but grin, but didn't say much and just stepped on the accelerator.
……
We returned to Tokyo from Wakura in silence all the way. The atmosphere in the car was very awkward, as if you were sleeping in class and suddenly you were called to answer a question but you didn't even know which page the question was on. The word "awkward" was written in capital letters on the car window.
After returning all the way back to Chiyoda District, Yushan Kazuto originally wanted to drive Kirisu Mafuyu home directly, but then he remembered that he and Kirisu Mafuyu were now strangers!
What's more, Kirisu Mafuyu seems to have moved, and Hayama Kazuto doesn't know where her new home is.
"Where do you live? Let me take you home." Yushan Heren said.
Anyway, he had endured the embarrassment of more than 400 kilometers, so he didn't mind being embarrassed for a few more minutes.
"Shinmachi Apartment."
A sudden brake caused everyone in the car to lean forward. Yushan Kazuto stopped the car on the side of the road and looked at Kirisu Madoka with some confusion.
"You also live in Shinmachi Apartment?" Hayama Kazuto said with a sullen smile.
"Also?" Kirisu Madoka looked at Hayama Kazuto and suddenly remembered that she seemed to have seen Hayama Kazuto several times near her home.
Would he move to Yushan and other places again?
Kirisu Madoka couldn't help but think.
"Is this such a coincidence?" Now, even Kirisu Madoka blushed.
Yushan Kazuto nodded somewhat heavily and glanced back at Shirasakika, whose eyes were full of suspicion.
Izumi Sagiri was wearing a mask, so her expression couldn't be seen, but her clenched fists could be seen.
Yushan and Ren quickly turned around, restarted the car, and drove home.
……
After returning to the apartment, Yushan Kazuto finally breathed a sigh of relief. He almost exposed his acquaintance with Kirisu Madoka.
Kirisu Mafuyu lives in Building B of Shinmachi Apartment, which is
Something the mountains and people had not expected.
Building B is located behind Building A where Yushan and Ren live. It is opposite to Building A, but the roads and traffic directions are completely different, and the two rarely intersect.
This is also the reason why Kazuto Hayama never realized that Madoka Kirisu also lived in the Shinmachi Apartment.
After learning that Kirisu Mafuyu actually lived in Building B, the suspicion in Shirosaki Hana's eyes gradually faded. Carrying their things, the three of them got into the elevator together.
When he returned to the door, there was light inside. Yushan Kazuto blinked. Has Komari not returned home yet?
When he opened the door, Tsuchima Mai was sitting on the floor, playing with Xiaoxue. When she saw Yushan and the other two, she quickly turned around and smiled sweetly.
"Umi-chan, isn't Ohira home yet?" Yushan Kazuto walked into the room carrying something and asked.
Tsuchiya shook her head: "My brother got promoted, but he's also getting busier and busier."
Due to the effective rescue efforts, Doma Ohira was promoted to a management position, but his original technical position was still retained, which led to Doma Ohira becoming increasingly busy.
"Why has Xiaoxue gained weight again?" Yushan Kazuto took Xiaoxue from Tsuchimami's arms and held her up. He felt that Xiaoxue seemed to have gained weight during the two days when he was away from home.
Hearing this, Xiaoxue and Tujianmai were immediately unhappy, and both the man and the cat turned their heads away somewhat arrogantly.
Chapter 660: Bleeding Heart
"I heard that the Hot Springs in Watakura were discovered because ancient people found hot springs bubbling up where egrets flew away. Kazuto-senpai, have you seen egrets in Watakura?"
Kazuto Hayama, Hana Shirasaki, and Mei Doma sat together and casually chatted about what they had seen and heard in Wakura Onsen.
"As for egrets, I don't think I saw any." Yushan Heren shrugged. He didn't really pay attention to the birds in Hekura.
However, there are more than a dozen species of egrets, some of which are migratory birds. It is not certain that the egrets living in Hekura Hot Springs are migratory birds.
"Didn't see it?" Doma Mei was a little disappointed. She had finally looked up the information and was excited to have a chat with Hayama Kazuto and Shirasaki Hana about the egrets in Watakura. However, Hayama Kazuto and Shirasaki Hana didn't even see the egrets.
"Perhaps the egrets that inhabit Hecang are migratory birds. After all, it is winter now, so it is normal that there are few birds."
Except for a few species of egrets such as cattle egrets, most egrets cannot tolerate severe cold, so most egrets live in places with lower latitudes.
The area where Wakura is located is located on the northern foot of the main island of Japan. Although it cannot be called a high latitude, the low temperatures in winter will cause most birds to choose to migrate.
"But sister Mai, we bought some souvenirs about egrets in Kanazawa!" Shirasaki Hana ran back to the room and took out a few boxes and bags containing some paintings. The paintings were all pictures of egrets fishing, and the boxes and bags contained some handicrafts about egrets.
"Sister Mai, which one do you like?" Baisakihua asked with a smile.
In fact, Doma Mai really wanted to say that she didn't like any of them. These things were useless in her home except taking up space.
However, under Shirasakihana's expectant gaze, Doma Mai still chose a egret pendant, which was the item that took up the least space.
"Kazuto-brother, Mei chose the egret pendant. Who was it originally intended for?" Shirosaki Hana suddenly shouted.
Yushan Kazuto walked out of the kitchen. He was a little hungry after driving all the way home from Wakura.
"I originally wanted to bring it to Yukinoshita." Yushan Kazuto said.
"Then let's give the Ishikawa fruit cake that was originally prepared for Sister Mai to Sister Yukinoshita." said Shirosaki Hana.
The souvenirs for Doma Yui were originally selected by Shirosaki Hana herself. An afternoon was not a long time, and after much selection, she only picked one souvenir for each person she knew.
"Then I'll put the fruit cake in the refrigerator first." Yushan Heren nodded, took out the fruit cake from the luggage and put it in the refrigerator.
Tsuchiya suddenly felt her heart bleeding.
……
"Then I'll go home first."
It was late at night, Tujianmai walked to the door and waved reluctantly.
