Chapter 49 Green Pine Pavilion

It is worthy of being a thousand-year-old ancient capital. As soon as Kagura Hikari and the others got off the bus, they felt the difference between Kyoto and Tokyo.

For example, there are a lot of advertisements in Tokyo, which are so colorful and colorful that it makes people very upset after watching them for a long time.

But Kyoto is different. Their local government seems to have introduced a bill to reduce the posting of advertisements.

Those huge advertisements that are often seen above office buildings in Tokyo are completely invisible in Kyoto.

And they don’t use neon lights. The signboard at the entrance of the store is like the style of the early 20th century, simple and real.

After Kagura Hikaru and the others left the station, they took a bus to the hotel they had reserved and walked to their destination.

The hotel is a Japanese-style house called "Green Pine Hall". The location is not very good and it is far from the city center, but because of this it is easier to book a place.

There is an endless stream of domestic and foreign tourists visiting Kyoto every year. If it is not the off-season, you may not be able to book a hotel in a hotel further away.

Everyone walked on the cobblestone road and entered the hotel from the main door. On the right side of the door, they saw a small yard and a fish pond. However, there were no fish in sight. It must be that the weather was too cold and they were hiding.

Opening the side door of the hotel and walking into the entrance, a woman wearing a dark blue kimono was already waiting for them, bending down to everyone: "Welcome to the Green Pine Hotel."

"welcome!"

The little girl wearing simple work clothes next to her also bent down and had good etiquette. It seemed that she should be her daughter.

The consultant, Mr. Yamazaki, followed the proprietress to the counter to pay and get the room key.

Speaking of which, traditional Japanese-style hotels in the island country seem to be managed by women, and there is a special name to call them - female generals.

Come to think of it, the woman in kimono is the hostess of this hotel.

After completing the check-in formalities, the proprietress's youngest daughter rushed over diligently to carry everyone's luggage. Kagura Hikaru and Hosaka Yui stepped forward to help move everyone's luggage into the room on the second floor.

The guest rooms in the hotel are also in Japanese style, with tatami floors, low tables and cushions in the middle, and a small balcony facing the sun.

There are no electrical appliances visible in the house, nor is there a TV, but there are sockets, so charging should be guaranteed.

The little girl pointed to the big wardrobe in the corner and said, "There are four beds in there. Guests, please use them freely."

She said that if Kagura Hikaru and the others needed it, they could take out the bed and make it now, but everyone said they didn't need it.

After the girl left, Teacher Yamazaki handed a key to Ayanokouji Chiyo: "This is the room key for you girls. Take it and don't lose it."

Ayanokouji Chiyo put away the keys, turned to the boys and said, "Pack your luggage and take a rest. Meet downstairs in fifteen minutes."

After saying that, she dragged her suitcase to the girls' room next door. Yui Hosaka also said hello and followed her.

As soon as the two girls in the team left, the atmosphere in the room became inexplicably more relaxed.

The five boys and one teacher looked at each other, thinking about who should speak first to close the distance.

At this time Kagura Light said: "Speaking of which, there are only four quilts in the closet, but there are six of us, what should we do?"

As soon as these words came out, all the boys suddenly started thinking.
After a while, Kagura Hikari came back from the girls' room next door with two sets of beds. "I'm sorry, Kagura, for asking you to do such a thing." Teacher Yamazaki said embarrassedly.

Everyone recognized the problem, but didn't have the courage to knock on the girl's door and ask for help.

It would be fine if only Yui Hosaka was there, but there happened to be Chiyo Ayanokouji who was famous for stopping a child from crying.

No matter whether they were members of the Kendo Club or the Discipline Committee, no one would be frightened when facing her.

Even the consultant, Mr. Yamazaki, hesitated for a moment before being dealt with by Kagura Hikari.

"No, this is what I should do." said the team manager Kagura Hikaru.

After this small episode, the atmosphere on the boys' side finally relaxed.

The boy from the kendo club who had been glaring at Kagura Hikaru for two hours on the train also took the initiative to say a few words to him.

It's just that the chat is occasionally mixed with "If you dare to take action against Yui-chan, I'll kill you." "Kill you!" Such words make it difficult for people to respond.

Everyone packed their luggage, went to the bathroom, and charged their mobile phones. Without taking any rest for fifteen minutes, they went downstairs to meet the two girls.

Unexpectedly, Yui Hosaka was a little late. After asking, I found out that she had gone to familiarize herself with the layout of the hotel so that she could deal with any unexpected situations at any time.

Kagura Hikaru said that he had learned something. It turns out that department managers have to be so meticulous. In comparison, he just found a quilt and thought the work was over. This was far from qualified.

After everyone gathered, they hitched a ride again to their next destination.

Theoretically, there is still one day before the competition, and the national conference will officially start tomorrow. They should take advantage of this time to take a tour of Kyoto.

Teams from other schools might do this. After all, it is a rare public-funded travel opportunity, and there is no reason to let it go.

But since Ayanokouji Chiyo is in the team, it is impossible to allow the participating members to slack off.

So after dropping off their luggage at the hotel, the second place they went to was the kendo gym!
Kendo is one of the mainstream sports in the island country, and it is natural that there are many gyms that exist to teach kendo.

However, in recent years, with the rise of the fast-paced entertainment era, many kendo gyms have begun to be unable to recruit students and have gradually become deserted.

The next thing Kagura Hikaru and others will visit is such a gym that is on the verge of bankruptcy.

The old gym leader passed away due to illness, and his children had no intention of inheriting the gymnasium. They planned to sell the gymnasium at a good price.

If it were in other online texts, there would be a granddaughter of the old gym leader who did not want the gym to close down. She was a single ponytail kendo girl. The male protagonist who accidentally visited heard of the deeds and decided to help the girl revive the reputation of the gym. At this time There is only one way before them, and that is to participate in the National College Kendo Conference and win first place there.
None of this happened, they just came here to rent a venue.

Because the gymnasium was not managed well, the children of the old gymnast planned to provide venue rental services before the gymnasium was sold, and they would earn as much as they could.

Ayanokouji Chiyo booked the entire gym for ten hours at a very cost-effective price. Now the venue and the equipment in the gym are temporarily for their use.

By the way, this expense is not a personal expense and is included in the competition expenses.

Kagura Guang probably knows why there are so many people but only two rooms in the hotel. It turns out that all the money is spent here.
Everyone changed into the kendo uniforms in the gym, picked up their bamboo swords, and started daily training before the competition.
