To

In a forest with few people, in the depths of the morning mist, there is the sound of horses’ hoofs.

When walking down a slope like a mountain road, Watanabe Toru felt a sense of loneliness as he was marching alone on the vast grassland.

The fog is cool, there are always birds singing in the ears, and occasionally there is the sound of water or other animal activities.

Passing by the courtyard of a few unmanned villas, came to a birch forest.

Gently pull the reins to the left to make the horse turn left into a path leading to the villa.

On the trail, in the misty forest, a silhouette was vaguely seen.

The silhouette bent down and was staring at the plants on the ground.

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

Watanabe Toru rode close to him, the dense fog dissipated and his vision became clear. He lowered his head and glanced down. It turned out to be a few beautiful mountain lilies.

He got off his horse right here, tied the horse to a tree, and walked towards the villa hidden in the birch wood.

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

Watanabe Toru stepped forward and saw the lawn in the mist. A servant was cleaning the weeds and a servant was cleaning the moss.

The moss that grows freely elsewhere must grow like the owner likes.

Watanabe Toru is here to get dorayaki.

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

“Are you Watanabe Toru-kun, Miki Young Lady’s boyfriend?”

“We first met, I am Watanabe Toru.”

“Watanabe-kun is as handsome as the legend.”

“Where.”

“Why come here early? The mountains will get foggy, and the trousers will get wet. If you step on it and fall somewhere, no one will notice it for a while.”

“I came on horseback.”

“We will also go horse riding in two days. When the time comes, please take care.”

While chatting with the hostess of the villa, Watanabe Toru glanced at a corner of the forest, and a female child looked over here.

It’s the one who just squatted and looked at Yamayuri.

“That is my child, please take care of me in the coming days.”

“If you are a female child, I may have no choice but Miki has the final say in my house.”

“Really?”

“I am a good-for-nothing door-to-door son-in-law.”

“Haha, I heard that Watanabe-kun is very talented.”

After chatting for a while, Watanabe Toru accepted the dorayaki from the hostess of the villa.

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

“You idiot.” Watanabe Toru scolded, turning over and riding on.

“Go!” He flicked the reins, “Hurry up and wait for others to catch us?”

The horse chewed on mountain lilies and ran into the misty forest happily.

On the way back, the morning mist that wrapped the forest was dispersed by the sun.

Through the fog, breakthrough the blockade of busy branches, the sun cast one after another beam of light in the forest.

At the end of the beam of light, there are tree roots, moss, and paths that shine in the sun.

Riding freely in the forest, Watanabe Toru likes such a pleasant morning, with cool fog and listening to the birdsong.

This kind of scenery makes people never get tired of it.

Return the horse to the racecourse and walk back to the villa. Except for Kujo Miki, everyone else got up.

“Thanks, let me get it here!” Mrs. Kujo blocked Watanabe Toru at the door and snatched the dorayaki.

“Say good to me every day, the four of you take turns, Xiaolian whatever you want, why have I been the only one left in the morning since a few days ago?”

Watanabe Toru that Mrs. Kujo made no complaints.

“Chestnuts…red bean paste…white jade…” When she walked to the table and put down the dorayaki box, she had already selected all the chestnuts and white jade that she liked.

“Is it so delicious?” Mrs. Kiyano felt like she asked fussy.

“You know it after you have eaten it, this is the taste of my childhood.”

“Every time you take it all away, give me one at any rate.”

“No.” After rejecting Mrs. Kiyano, Kujo Maki thought for a while, and gave Xiaoren one of the two flavors.

“Seeing you are a child, take special care of you.” she said.

“Thank you very much.” Xiaolian hugged the dorayaki, which is smaller than the ordinary dorayaki, in her hands and bowed obediently.

“What about me? My dear mother?” Watanabe Toru changed his shoes and walked in. “My clothes and hair are all wet with fog, don’t you have my share?”

“There.” Mrs. Kujo pointed to the remaining share that was picked on the table.

On August 14th, breakfast was a dorayaki that Watanabe Toru took back from the fog.

When Kujo Miki got up, it was almost noon.

Everyone decided to eat out, and then went to the art gallery to take a look.

“Kun Watanabe, I hope this visit will give you a clear idea of ​​your painting level.” Mrs. Kujo rides a Bicycle briskly on the sunny forest trail.

“Am I not good at painting?” Watanabe Toru exclaimed, “I am willing to buy the pair of “Kiyano Rin in Karuizawa” for 1 million yen.”

“You mean that you nominated, but the one painted by Miki?” Mrs. Kiyano said in a melodious voice.

“Your logic is very problematic. Since there is my nomination, naturally I painted it. Miki painted it, how can I be nominated?”

“I’m still willing to do this kind of thing.” Kujo Miki wears a handsome baseball cap with his hair wrapped in it. Today, he is taking a cool and fashionable route.

No matter which route, Watanabe Toru wanted to hug her three times.

“Miki, you are the best to me, I only treat you to lunch today.”

“Don’t change the subject, we are talking about your painting skills!” Mrs. Kujo dissatisfied.

“Please someone pay the royalties of the portrait first.” Kiyano Rin was wearing a sun hat, and the blue ribbon on the hat was blown back by the wind.

“Miki, she is talking to you.”

“I’m talking about you, classmate Toru XX. 1 billion yen, please transfer it to my account.”

“Kiyano Aunt,” Watanabe Toru yelled to Mrs. Kiyano in front of him, “Your family got rich by blackmail!”

“Yes! If you have bad debts, the best lawyer will deal with you!”

In happy laughter and cheerful voices, Bicycle passes through the shade of green trees.

After eating lunch without meeting Mai Mai, Watanabe Toru was taken into a gallery by the Lady Mother-in-law who disliked him.

In the gallery, all naked women and cats hang on the walls.

“Fujita Tsuguharu?” After reading a few pictures, Watanabe Toru immediately asked Kiyano Rin.

“Really.” Kiyano Rin is not interested in women without clothes, just staring at the cat.

“Why don’t you know?”

“The reason you know is because the woman in the painting doesn’t wear clothes. Anyway, it’s not because of learning to paint.” Kiyano Rin said with certainty.

“There are times when you guess wrong, R-san!” Watanabe Toru’s voice was very happy.

“Then how did you know Tsuguharu Fujita?” Mrs. Kujo asked back.

“Because of my teacher-Picasso.”

“en?” Kujo Miki was not the only one who expressed doubts about this.

Watanabe Toru didn’t care at all, and continued: “It is said that at the first solo exhibition of Fujita Tsuguharu in Paris, Picasso once lingered for more than three hours.”

“Lies.”

“In fact, to learn how to make Miki happy, I have learned about various masters’ views on women, and Tsuguharu Fujita is one of them.”

“What do you study all day? You will not be allowed to read this kind of book without my permission in the future.” Kujo Miki ordered.

“I’m curious what did Tsuguharu Fujita say?” Mrs. Kiyano asked.

“Fujita thought,’Women and cats are the same creatures, and their eyes shine at night. Although they look cute and sensible, but if you don’t pay attention, you will completely forget all the kindness and easily betray the owner. ‘”

“Just by listening to these remarks, you will know that he is a character who behaves badly and lives madly.” Kiyano Rin said.

“It’s worthy of Dora A Rin, but I very much agree with the’eyes shine at night’.” In the latter sentence, Watanabe Toru said to Kujo Miki.

“To each other, I am a woman, you are a cat, let’s shine together at night.” Kujo Miki said with a smile.

Watanabe Toru glanced at the back of her white neck with her hair curled up, and decided to let her lie on the bed tonight, lie on her back, and kiss there.

There is no woman wearing clothes on the wall by Fujita Tsuguharu. He doesn’t feel anything. The little skin exposed by Kujo Miki makes him feel hot.

The women in Fujita Tsuguharu’s paintings all have an ivory-like complexion.

This gives the western beauty with bad skin in the painting the charm of an oriental woman.

Kiyano Rin stared at one of the paintings. There was only a cat lying on its side. The white part of the eyes was yellow, the pupils were black, and the cat’s face looked a bit like a white cat with a fox.

The name of the painting is simple and straightforward-“White Cat”.

“With the frame, 300,000 yen.” The female boss walking around in the gallery came over and said.

“en. “Kiyano Rin nodded.

“If you like it, you can buy it and send it back to Tokyo. Don’t worry about the trouble of taking it back.” Mrs. Kiyano said.

“I don’t like it, I just think of something.”

“What’s the matter? I don’t remember you raised a cat.”

“Some time spent with Watanabe-san.”

“In the gallery, Xiao Rin stares at a white cat painting-this is “Confession in the Gallery”.” Mrs. Kiyano’s tone is very feminine.

“It can be in the same series as my “Kiyano Rin in Karuizawa”,” Watanabe Toru, who was walking around with Kujo Miki just now, came up and said, “The name of the series is “The Year of Seventeen” .”

“Don’t think it’s the person I’m closest to, you can just make fun of me.” Kiyano Rin looked at them coldly.

……Such a threat will only make the threatened person happy.

Except for deciding how to reflect the light in the eyes at night, there is no receiving place to finish the exhibition.

The five went shopping again at the “Outlet” and bought some clothes.

After having dinner there, carrying big and small bags, they went to the Chunyu balcony.

Chunyu Terrace is the entrance of Hoshino Resort, a small wooden street hidden in the forest.

There are more than one hundred spring elm plants planted here, but there are only nine buildings in total. Even if each store is carefully shopping, it will not take much time.

But because of the lack of buildings, it can slow down the pace and become more leisurely.

Five people from Watanabe Toru came here at night because of the summer night concert.

They ordered some snacks, each ordered their favorite drink, and sat by the waterfront terrace.

“When does it start?” Watanabe Toru dipped fries in tomato sauce.

On the table in front of him, there is a glass bottle of Coke, and one after another cool water drops gradually appear on the bottle.

“Here.” Kujo Miki pointed somewhere.

When the hustle and bustle of the day was calmed down, musicians made their debut with violins, accordions, and guitars, presenting the beautiful music limited to summer nights for tourists.

The sky is getting dark, revealing the clear starry sky of Karuizawa Plateau.

The nine buildings of Chunyu Balcony are all lit up with bright yellow lights, illuminating the small Chunyu Balcony.

Five people are listening to music, eating and chatting, and occasionally distracted. They will be attracted by the Fire Insect on the stream on the terrace.

“Wow~ Chunyu balcony?”

“It’s like a place where elves live in the forest!”

“Look at it, during the performance, I saw it in the TV series “4th Layer Play”!”

A youthful and lively voice came from under the terrace.

Watanabe Toru followed the sound, the four girls stopped the Bicycle in the rental shop and hurried over here.

Mai Mai subconsciously looked towards the waterfront terrace, looking at Watanabe Toru across an elm tree.

Kujo Miki and Kiyano Rin beside him naturally found his seemingly accidental gaze and looked towards the four girls at the same time.

“Ah, there are no seats!” Ichiki Aoi said regretfully.

“A lot of people are standing and watching, and we too…someone is going there! Going to get a seat!” Tamamo Somei rushed over and grabbed his seat.

“Sorry!” She triumphantly smiled at the tourists who also wanted to grab a seat but didn’t grab her, and shouted to the other three, “Senior Sister, Aoi, come!”

“Somei, you are too good!” Ichiki Aoi ran over.

“Mai Senior Sister, let’s go too.” Asako Hanada shouted to Mai Mai at the end.

“…Um.” Asuna Mai retracted her gaze from Watanabe Toru and followed Hanada Asako.

“That’s Watanabe-kun’s lover.” Mrs. Kujo also discovered the situation.

“A pretty girl.” Mrs. Kiyano commented.

Kujo Miki snorted with a sneer and contemptuously, and drank the juice.

The two sides did not meet, and did not even say hello.

After a few songs, Mai Tomorrow suddenly walked over.

Five people looked at her, especially the two wives. They looked at the excitement, but Mai Mai still had any expression on her face.

When I got closer, Mai Mai did not look for Watanabe Toru, looked at Kujo Miki and said, “Miki classmate, can I have a word with you?”

“Let’s talk.” Kujo Miki puts down the juice, holding his elbows in both hands.

“Thank you for letting Toru be with me for a day.”

“It’s good to know that he is mine.”

“en.” Asuka Mai is gently nodded, “Toru wanted to kill me in order to reject me, but I can’t live without Toru. If it weren’t for this, Toru would not do what I was sorry for you, sorry.” [ 19459002]

Kujo Miki glanced at her.

She heard Watanabe Toru talk about this matter, but when she said it from Mai Mai, it felt different.

Looking at Mai Mai’s expression again, even with these words, her expression is still flat.

Kujo Miki learned about Mai’s character from Watanabe Toru.

She didn’t really want to apologize, she didn’t have that emotion, she just used her smart enough head to do something that would not cause Watanabe Toru trouble.

Don’t bother Watanabe Toru. This is not what she wants to do. All she does is just to be able to stay with Watanabe Toru.

“I don’t care about how you are. It is because of Watanabe that I allow you to exist.”

After speaking, Kujo Miki waved his hand to indicate that Mai Tomorrow could leave.

Asuna Mai nodded and said to Watanabe Toru: “Tru, good night.”

“Good night, Senior Sister.” Watanabe Toru responded.

Waiting for Mai Tomorrow to leave, Mrs. Kujo drank a sip of Karuizawa whiskey: “This girl is Interesting.”

“Well, Miki must feel a little more comfortable in my heart.” Mrs. Kiyano drank beer, “Their love is really terrifying, it’s a psychological war.”

“Yuko, don’t instigate deliberately.” Mrs. Kujo puts down the glass, “Miki has admitted to the current situation, just get by.”

“Hehe, that’s not going to work, it’s not my Xiaolin who won.”

“mother, I don’t need such a means.”

Watanabe Toru looked towards Kujo Miki, Kujo Miki glared at him impatiently, frowned: “What to look at?”

“It’s night, see if your eyes will shine.”

“Last song! Please sing with us!” shouted the musician holding the guitar in front.

The murmur of the piano is a song that is familiar to all over the island.

At the closing ceremony of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, the cantata ended the Olympic ceremonies.

It is also the ending song of the Red and White Song.

“蛍の光”

“The light of the firefly, the snow on the window”

“The time of reading, accumulated over a long period of time”

Everyone hummed quietly, and so did the ladies.

Summer is like a extinguished street lamp, one day closer to the end.
