Chapter 235 They walked on the beach of Izu Peninsula
A few days have passed since our fishing trip to Toyosu Park, and the spring break is gradually coming to an end.
"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way."
"Meiji?"
"Starting tomorrow , I have two days off."
"Great, let's go to Izu!"
"Izu?"
"Didn't we eat the specialties of Izusan Onsen Ryokan at your house on Valentine's Day? Also, I recently rewatched "The Dancing Girl of Izu", so I wanted to go there once."
"It's up to you. But if I don't have fun..."
"I'll give you a massage, guaranteed to be comfortable!"
"Shut up."
"So what do you say we should do?"
"I'm thinking... The Dancing Girl of Izu... How about this, if I'm not having fun, you can put on geisha clothes, put on makeup like a geisha, and dance for me."
"Meiji, have you read another book by Yasunari Kawabata?"
"What book?"
"Tokyo People. I have only been in Tokyo for a year, but I am absolutely amazing at playing the role of a Tokyo person..."
Kujo Miki said nothing.
"Hello? Meiji?"
The phone came with a "beep, beep" sound, indicating the call was hung up.
As the spring break is coming to an end, Toru Watanabe and his beloved princess are preparing to travel to the Izu Peninsula.
As he was only staying for one night, he didn't bring anything with him and decided to buy clothes when he arrived.
I thought Kujo Miki was the same, but when she got out of the car, Shizuru handed him a bag.
"What is this?" he asked curiously.
"Kimono." replied Kujo Miki.
She wore a light blue thin jacket with a hood, the front of which was open, revealing the impressionist painting of a T-shirt underneath the jacket, and a pair of simple black casual pants.
With a slim figure, she looks beautiful and chic, and is easy to exercise with.
"Kimono?" Toru Watanabe unzipped his clothes, revealing a gorgeous and seductive pattern.
"I'm not having fun, so you wear it."
"I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but why do I feel like you're going to be unhappy from the start?"
"It depends on your performance." Kujo Miki was in a good mood and took the lead in walking towards the station, "Let's go."
"Wait a moment." Watanabe Toru threw the bag to Shizuka, "Send it to the hotel I booked. You can check the address yourself! Oh, and prepare some clothes to change into!"
After saying that, regardless of Shizuru's expression as if he was about to pull out a gun and kill someone, he caught up with Kujo Miki.
At Watanabe Toru's request, the two of them almost always used ordinary transportation when going out.
Taking the Izu Express, they arrived at the first location:
Located in Atami in eastern Izu.
"Izu is the first place in Honshu where cherry blossoms bloom, and Atami..."
"Don't say those useless things. Take me to eat first, otherwise I will be unhappy."
“…”
The two were walking on the way to look for food and accidentally came to a cherry blossom path.
The cherry trees on both sides of the road are tall and big, with branches growing all the way to the top of the road, connecting to each other on both sides.
The gorgeous cherry blossoms turned the road into a natural tunnel.
Watanabe Toru smiled and said to Kujo Miki:
"It is said that couples who walk hand in hand through this cherry blossom tunnel will stay together forever."
"Is there such a thing?"
"I did my homework before coming here," Toru Watanabe said proudly.
"Could it be that this was just made up?" Miki Kujo stared at him suspiciously.
“It was just made up.”
Miki Kujo stared at him straight, her eyes full of intimidation.
"I mainly want to hold your hand." Watanabe Toru spread out his left hand, "Come on, sweetheart."
"Honey, if you do this again, I will divorce you." Kujo Miki said with a smile and put her right hand in Watanabe Toru's.
"Arguing is quarreling, but don't joke about divorce."
Watanabe Toru's serious expression, as if the two of them were really married, made Kujo Miki give him a sidelong glance.
The two walked hand in hand along the pink cherry blossom path.
Toru Watanabe would whisper something to Miki Kujo from time to time, smiling.
Kujo Miki occasionally rolled her eyes at him, occasionally nodded in response, and occasionally looked at him with disgust.
Without realizing it, her fingers were slipping between Toru Watanabe's.
The two of them could feel each other's five fingers, and they squeezed back at the same time in tacit understanding.
This way of holding hands makes the relationship closer and will not separate easily.
The two found a high-end restaurant and ate casually.
"Atami doesn't have many tourist attractions, it's only famous for its hot springs. Do you want to go and soak in it?" asked Toru Watanabe.
"You came all the way from Tokyo just to take a hot spring bath? You're not going to be happy."
"After we finish eating, we'll go to the next stop!"
Southern Izu, Shimoda.
This is just a very ordinary city.
There is no night view of Roppongi, luxury of Ginza, trend of Shibuya, or second-hand shops of Harajuku.
But the two of them were very happy walking hand in hand on an ordinary zebra crossing.
The sun is warm, the streets are spotless and crystal clear, and even the number of pedestrians around is just right, neither too many nor too few. Everything is looking its best.
The two of them walked on the road for half an hour without doing anything.
On the way, Toru Watanabe hugged Miki Kujo and took a few photos, with peach blossoms everywhere on the roadside as the background.
"I'm not happy anymore." Miki Kujo was tired.
"You've been gone for so long, and you suddenly say you're unhappy?"
"I will be happy when I walk. Are you Forrest Gump?"
"Forrest Gump is running."
"Hmm?" Miki Kujo's eyes became sharp.
“To the next stop!”
"I'm tired."
"I'll carry you!"
Watanabe Toru bent down in front of Kujo Miki, who fell on his back and put her arms around his neck.
"I feel a little better." She said in a pleasant tone.
"Then I will carry you on my back for the rest of my life." Watanabe Toru said with a smile.
"You mean my leg is broken?"
"No." Watanabe Toru walked towards the train platform, "I mean, you shouldn't put your beautiful legs on the ground."
Kujo Miki put her lips close to his ear and said in a melodious and charming voice:
"If not on the ground, where to step?"
"Sister, be serious." Watanabe Toru looked serious and patted her buttocks through her casual pants.
Because she was being carried on her back, Kujo Miki's casual pants were tight.
Miki Kujo used her right hand to strangle his neck.
"I'm dying, I'm really dying!"
The train from Shimoda to Kawazu runs along the coastline.
There are very few people in the tram, with red seats facing each other, a clean carriage and transparent glass.
Outside the glass is the blue sea of Izu.
The further you get towards Hejin, the stronger the scent of spring becomes.
The two of them sat on the same side and could see the direction of the sea. Miki Kujo lazily leaned her head on Toru Watanabe's shoulder.
The sun shone on the tram walkway, just at the tip of their feet.
"Where are we going again?" she asked.
"Hejin."
"Isn't it another hot spring, or a place with nothing at all?"
"Of course not," Watanabe Toru assured, "In Kawazu there is a unique early cherry blossom called Kawazu Sakura. There are as many as 8,000 of them on both sides of the Kawazu River."
"Go see the cherry blossoms?"
"The entire river is covered with cherry blossoms on both sides, stretching as far as the eye can see for 10 kilometers."
"generally."
"How can it be normal?" Watanabe Toru held onto Kujo Miki's right hand and exerted a little more force, making the two of them closer.
He continued:
"Just imagine, it's the end of March now, and when the wind blows, these early cherry blossoms will float down like rain, along the Kawazu River all the way to the Pacific Ocean."
"generally."
"That's 10 kilometers of cherry blossoms! The Pacific Ocean!"
"generally."
"It's just so-so, you'll know whether it's good or not when the time comes." Watanabe Toru gritted his teeth, kissed her hard on the forehead, and held her tighter with his hands.
Kujo Miki snorted with contempt and disdain, but still let him hold her in his arms.
The tram was shaking, and the emerald green sea water outside the window collided with the beach, splashing white foam.
When the train arrives at Kawazu, the cherry blossoms along the river are in full bloom.
The 10-kilometer-long pink flower belt is intertwined with the sea, rivers, and crowds of people admiring the flowers.
The two walked hand in hand among the cherry trees, and finally stood at a bridge that had a very island style.
"With your painting ability, Miki, you can definitely paint a 'Landscape and Cherry Blossom Viewing Picture' worth 1 billion yen based on the Kawazu River in front of us. " Watanabe Toru waved his hand towards both sides and said generously.
"Even if you say nice things, it won't stop me from feeling bad."
"What's wrong again?" Watanabe Toru turned his head to look at her beautiful and delicate profile.
"You said we were going to enjoy the cherry blossoms, but in the end we're just walking." Kujo Miki glanced at him.
"According to you, traveling is also walking."
"That's right." Miki Kujo nodded.
"You really intend to be unhappy from the beginning and play tricks on me!"
"Who suggested coming to Izu?"
"..." Watanabe Toru was speechless and gritted his teeth and said, "Next stop!"
"This is your last chance. If you still can't get it, you must accept your fate, dress up as a geisha, and serve me."
"Why must it be a geisha? How about a samurai instead?"
"'The Dancing Girl of Izu', it was you who suggested it, my Watanabe." A smile of triumph flashed across Kujo Miki's lips as she stared at Watanabe Toru intently.
That proud and cunning beautiful figure belonged to him - realizing this fact, a warm current flowed through Watanabe Che's heart.
He pulled Kujo Miki into his arms and cupped her cheek with his right hand.
The two kissed on the bridge where cherry blossom rain was falling.
The Kawazu River flows continuously and flows into the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Ocean evaporates and becomes the water of the Kawazu River again.
After a long while, Watanabe Toru pressed his hand against Kujo Miki's forehead and said in a slightly hoarse voice:
"I have reserved a hot spring hotel in Shuzenji."
"Carry me."
Toru Watanabe carried Kujo Miki on his back and walked along the cherry blossom path in Kawazu towards the bus stop on the beach.
In addition to cherry blossoms, there are also large areas of rapeseed flowers in full bloom, a brilliant yellow.
"Bus?" Watanabe Toru said with a little confusion.
"What bus?" asked Miki Kujo.
"Wait a minute!" Toru Watanabe started running.
Miki Kujo looked forward.
In the distance, next to the blue road sign on the platform, a bus was slowly starting to move.
"Wait a minute!" Toru Watanabe shouted while running.
"Hahaha, come on!" Kujo Miki's joyful laughter was carried away by the wind.
"Ah, catch up!"
pity.
Maybe it was because the broken bus was too noisy, maybe the driver didn't look at the rearview mirror, or maybe the bus company didn't allow people to stop, Toru Watanabe still didn't catch up.
"Damn it!" Watanabe Toru remained calm.
"Let me see..." Kujo Miki leaned over his back and looked at the platform timetable. "It will take an hour. Do you have any other reasons?"
"……kiss?"
"Did I let you kiss me?" Kujo Miki said coldly, "You kissed me without my permission, and I haven't settled the score with you yet!"
Watanabe Toru stopped talking.
"The bus stop says there's a foot bath ahead. Go wait over there." Miki Kujo clamped her legs around his waist.
"Okay, princess, sit down. Watanabe will take you there right away."
Toru Watanabe carried Miki Kujo on his back as they walked along the seaside road.
There are sparse white clouds and the Pacific Ocean on the left is endless.
"Meiji, can we discuss this further?"
"no."
"I've been very happy today. Even if I missed the bus, I still enjoy walking with you on my back."
"No." Miki Kujo lazily pressed her cheek against Toru Watanabe's back.
"I like you."
"no."
"I love you."
"Louder."
Watanabe Toru looked around and saw that the seaside road was empty with only them.
"I love you--"
"Who do you love?"
"I love Kujo Miki——"
"Say it again."
"I love love love love love Kujo Miki—"
"Yeah, sweetheart, I love you too."
"That?"
"no."
"Are you kidding me?!"
"When did I promise you?"
“…”
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Kujo Miki raised her head, bit his ear and said:
"The agreement of 'what you wear, I wear' is still valid today."
“…”
"Geisha Miki" skin, unlocked?
"I love you."
"Um."
"I love you."
"Um."
"je t'aime."
"knew."
"Te amo."
“Enough is enough.”
“Ятебялюблю ya jiebia liubliu.”
The wide-angle lens on the roadside reflected the overlapping figures of the two people.
After walking for a while, I finally saw a sign with the words "Foot Bath" written on it.
Before I got close, I saw the steam rising.
There is a free foot bath on the roadside, and hot spring water flows continuously from the pipes, keeping the water clean and at the right temperature.
"Soak for a while?"
"Take off my shoes for me." Kujo Miki didn't come down, but stretched out her feet.
Her tone sounded like an order, with a hint of coquettishness.
Toru Watanabe took off her shoes and socks and rolled up her pants to her calves.
After he finished all this, Kujo Miki got off his back and stepped on the cobblestones with her smooth and delicate feet.
Toru Watanabe took off his coat and spread it on the stool.
When he took off his shoes and socks, sat down, and put his feet into the hot spring at about 45 degrees, Kujo Miki didn't dare to put her feet directly in.
"Is it so hot?" Toru Watanabe asked with a smile.
Miki Kujo lightly touched the surface of the hot spring water with her feet, then immediately frowned and took them away.
Watanabe Toru reached into the hot spring, scooped up a handful of water, and gently poured it over her feet.
“Hmm——” Kujo Miki didn’t dodge and could barely bear it.
Toru Watanabe looked at her toes which were clenched because of the heat.
"Meiji, you're so cute!"
"Want to eat?"
"We'll talk about it tonight. We'll talk about it tonight."
With the help of Toru Watanabe, Miki Kujo finally put her foot in.
The two sat side by side by the hot spring.
There is the Pacific Ocean in front of you, mountain scenery behind you, a large area of cherry blossoms not far away, and a hot spring at your feet.
This is the happiest moment of the day.
