But looking at Hui who was still a little reserved, she sighed helplessly.

"Kato-san, we are all our own people, just treat it as being at a friend's house."

"Um...."

Hearing Suzumori's words, Kei nodded and followed her example and sat down with her feet hanging down.

The white socks match the white 'water surface' surprisingly well.

The two of them watched the scenery in the courtyard silently, only the sound of the pattering rain remained for a while.

But it seemed that after hesitating for a long time, Hui still spoke.

"Boss, why do you feel that way?"

Ling Shou looked at the cloud-covered, gray sky, and spoke with a reminiscence tone.

"Kato, do you still remember the first time we met?"

She didn't wait for Kei's answer, and continued as if telling a story.

"That day I was teaching Yoshida at the front desk a lesson. Her account yesterday was not correct for the first time, and it made me feel a little overwhelmed."

Saying this, she looked over with a smile on her face

"At that time, did you think why the owner of this store was so fierce?"

"Um..."

"Hahaha..you can tell by looking at me"

She put away the smile on her face, and then continued talking.

"Kato-san, do you know?"

"If you weren't with me, you might have been in the police station by then."

Suzumori sighed, and looked into the distance again.

"At your age, you should go to high school well. Why do you have to do something like a part-time job? Don't your family care about it?"

She went on like this

"Actually, I also thought about whether to go to the community to report running away from home. After all, this is also irresponsible to you."

"but..."

When Suzumori said this, he scratched his head in distress.

"My thoughts seem to have been changed by you unconsciously... It's really inexplicable, am I as stupid as those fickle women in essence?"

After talking to herself, she stood up.

"Kato-san, can you tell me why you work so hard?"

Kei kept her head down, her black shattered hair hung down to cover her forehead, making it difficult to see her expression clearly.

"The manager...I..."

Some dry words came out of his mouth.

"Actually, it's nothing. When I was as old as you, I was still keen to fight with those boys in the class who was the boss~"

"But Kato, I don't like to know other people's secrets, and I have to take responsibility."

"However, if there is something or something difficult to say, it is very annoying to hide it in your heart."

Suzumori squatted down and patted her on the shoulder.

"Boss, why are you doing this?"

Hui raised her head, revealing her fair neckline, and looked at her seriously.

"How should I say this..."

Facing her question, Bell Shou frowned and thought for a while, then subconsciously took something out of his trousers pocket and picked it up.

"Ah, sorry, after quitting, it has almost become a habitual action when thinking."

She was quite dumbfounded with herself and put the gel pen back to its original position.

"Kato"

"Actually, I'm a very greedy person."

"greedy?"

"Yeah, I'm not a philanthropist after all."

Then she resumed her serious look again.

"Kato-san, life is a long road."

"But it's too boring to just go your own way."

Suzumoru spoke out the truth in his heart, with a pleasant smile on the corner of his mouth.

"So, I want to do something, at least as far as I can see."

"Kato-san, on your way"

Chapter 63 Chapter 10 Hot Spring

The rain stopped.

Facing the quiet courtyard, the aroma of cooking has been wafting into the room.

"Ah, it's ramen~"

Suzumoru with a smile on his face acted as if nothing had happened after that conversation.

But for Hui, it was an indelible memory.

Until now, the voice of the store manager still seems to be echoing in my ears

The proprietress Riko looked at her in a daze and brought the steaming wooden plate to her

"Kato-san, it would be quite disrespectful to the chef if you eat noodles like this after it's cold."

Pulled back to reality by the voice, the steam on his face made his eyes hazy.

"en..."

Hui quietly nodded, picked up the slender wooden block, and clasped his hands together.

"I'm gonna start now"

This is the first time I have tasted such sticky and thick ramen noodles with springy noodles covered with oily broth.

The chopsticks rotated clockwise to wind round after round of ramen noodles, and Megumi gently brushed the broken hair from the temples behind her ears, revealing her fair neck.

Vermilion lips parted slightly, and bit down

In this quiet but unexpectedly relaxed atmosphere, deliciousness gradually blooms from sight to taste.

After wiping off the soup sticking to her mouth with a tissue, Kei spoke seriously to Riko.

"A very good lunch."

"Oh my god, I'd get carried away with such praise."

Riko smiled and covered the corners of her mouth with a very useful look.

"Speaking of which, it just so happened that the rain also stopped, so the past couldn't be more appropriate now."

Suzumemori let out a meaningful 'oh', as if she understood what she meant.

"Well, why don't you just go there now, just to move around a little bit."

Kei felt that she was getting used to these two people acting like they were typing puzzles with her.

"However, you have to prepare in advance."

Suzumori blinked her eyes, and her tone was a little mischievous, and Riko at the side also tacitly took her hand.

"Kato-san, come with me."

"Eh? This is?? Eh!!!"

An eerie voice echoed in the quiet room.

"I didn't expect it to be so suitable~"

Accompanied by Riko's chuckle, Kei walked out from inside as if a little embarrassed

The yukata is embroidered with a pattern of maple leaves, and the matching of the white background complements each other.There was also a hyacinth-colored flower on her head as a headdress, which exuded a more gentle temperament.

Suzumori also stepped out of the wooden clogs that made a clicking sound on the floor.

She changed into a slightly mature black-bottomed bathrobe, with pink cherry blossom petals embroidered on the skirt, as if fluttering in the wind.

"Then let's go"

-------------------------------------------------- -

In the afternoon, the rain was over and it was sunny.

Outside the back door of the courtyard, a stone-paved path winds forward.

It's quite a meandering way.

The dense bamboo forests on both sides seem to have countless branches, and the tall and dense bamboo tunnels have never been known to continue to the bamboo tunnels.

The sunlight splashed on the bamboo leaves, like transparent swimming fish, splashed down on it, and then passed through the gap.

Soft daylight and cool sounds complement each other, permeating a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

This kind of scenery falls in the eyes, as if the mind is also let go, as if the feeling of being in nature makes those mundane worlds temporarily forgotten.

As for the reason why the store manager Suzumori brought her here, Kei seemed to be gradually aware of it with a vague understanding.

Just walking behind them in this way, the laughter of Suzumori and Riko could be heard from time to time.

I don't know how long it took, but the trail finally came to an end.

The field of vision has also become wider, and the mountains in the distance are continuous

This place seems to be a platform protruding from the middle of the mountain.

The rising water vapor, from time to time, floats the water surface with bubbles.

It is hard to imagine that there are hot springs in such a deep mountain.

Bell Shou seemed to see what she was thinking, and spoke softly

"This place is not open to the outside world, it's better to say"

"This whole mountain is private territory"

She walked slowly to the steps into the water, and took off a large piece of clothes.

Fortunately, there was still hazy fog, and I could only see clearly with my pipa half covered.

But even so, Kei, who was trying to maintain a calm face, still felt a little shy.

Along with the ripples, the sun seemed to be shining on Suzumoru's fair skin.

Seeing this scene, Riko let out a somewhat helpless sigh.

"Yuko is used to being so casual, and she doesn't know when she can be with her family..."

At this time, she suddenly remembered Hui who was standing aside, and her words suddenly stopped.
