Chapter 186 Traveling with two girls [asking for monthly ticket]
"Sorry, am I late?"
Just when Haruno Sawayama had just finished chatting with Mine Shiori, Suguha Ezaki appeared again after changing her clothes.
She was holding a popsicle in her hand, standing at the exit outside the courtyard, looking at the two of them, and said with a faint smile, "I'm ready."
As he spoke, he did not forget to lick a popsicle in front of Haruno Sawayama.
Thinking back to what happened just now, this inexplicably tempting look is a little bit irresistible.
"Have you finished applying Suguha's medicine?"
Feng Shizhi on the side couldn't help but asked curiously: "Are you going to go there with this bandage?"
"It will be a little uncomfortable if you expose it. It's better to just keep it like this for the time being."
"Yeah."
Feng Shizhi thought about it and felt that what the other party said was quite reasonable, so he didn't care about it any more.
However, her eyes stayed on the popsicle in Esaki Suguha's hand for a moment longer.
She didn't know if it was an inner illusion, but she always felt that the way Esaki Suguha ate popsicles seemed a little strange.
"Now that everything is ready, let's set off."
Sawayama Haruno said: "Arrive before noon. One afternoon should be enough to visit all the interesting attractions near Arashiyama."
"Has Haruno prepared a strategy in advance?"
"No, but there are many ready-made ones online, right?"
Sawayama Haruno subconsciously glanced at Mine Shiori, pretending to be relaxed and said: "It won't be too late to tell you when we get there."
"That's right."
Feng Shiori showed him a shy smile again.
After packing up their belongings, the three of them quickly walked outside the Ginkakuji Temple. It was still quite a long distance from the inner courtyard to the station outside, but fortunately, the weather had eased a bit today and the sun was not so bright. violent.
Walking on the street, Haruno Sawayama felt a little more relaxed.
Suguha Esaki always kept a subtle distance from him, neither too close nor too far.
The only thing that bothered her was that she ate the popsicles very slowly. Although they had already begun to melt, she was still enjoying them leisurely.
From this point of view, the other party has no consciousness that he cannot "eat and walk at the same time."
Of course, it may also be because I gradually started to indulge after coming to Kyoto. After all, I had to be controlled in various ways after returning to Tokyo. Therefore, if you want to experience rebellious behavior, now is the best time.
Sawayama Haruno even suspected that the other party would choose to follow him to Kyoto and drug him, and he also had this in mind.
Forget it, it’s impossible for him to really go and ask the other party, right?
With all kinds of complicated emotions, Haruno Sawayama followed Suguha Esaki and Shiori Mine, and the three of them quickly went to the station to take the train to Arashiyama.
Due to the different starting points, Haruno Sawayama and the others could not transfer directly to Landen, which was a pity for him.
Randen is one of the dedicated tram lines built along the railway near Shijo Karasuma and Omiya.
Logically speaking, dedicated tram lines near scenic spots are very common, so there is no regret. The reason why Haruno Sawayama will never forget it is because the dedicated line at Arashiden Arashiyama Station has its own characteristics.
——That is, enjoying the scenery on the railway while soaking in the foot bath.
The railway history of the island country is actually far more developed than outsiders imagine. Not only are there trains where you can take a foot bath, there are even hot pot trains and coastal trains in other areas.
Although with the development of the times, this type of green train has been gradually outlawed, and now only the tourist lines are still in use, but their popularity has remained for a long time.
Haruno Sawayama really missed this type of train, and even after he came out of JR Saga Arashiyama Station, he still felt a little regretful.
"Would you like to take a detour again when you go back?" he murmured.
"It should be possible. Landen will also run at night, but the scenery along the way is not that good."
Seeing how obsessed he was with Randen, Suga Ezaki on the side couldn't help but said, "Why don't we go over there early in the afternoon and sit down."
"It doesn't matter to me."
Feng Shiori, who was next to him, quickly agreed.
However, the petite girl's face was inexplicably blushing.
If you want to take a Landen ride, you must take a footbath. If you want to take a footbath, that is to say
Can Haruno sit across from him and see his feet? ?
Hmm.
I feel an inexplicable sense of shame. In ancient times, it seems that women also had a custom that they could not show their feet to anyone other than their husbands, right?
"If we go there early in the afternoon, we probably won't be able to see the scenic spots behind Togetsukyo Bridge. Let's just go with the flow and go there if we have more time."
"Yeah."
Esaki Suguha pursed her lips and whispered: "It doesn't matter, there is another small train on Arashiyama. Although you can't take a foot bath, but"
"Oh, that little scenic train?"
Haruno Sawayama touched his chin and said with slight interest: "I've heard of it before. Speaking of which, now is the right time. The red leaf forest we pass by should be in full bloom."
It’s August season, and the red maple trees are in full bloom between August and October.
The Arashiyama train will shuttle around several scenic spots. There will be a departure point near their Sagano Train Station. The final destination is Kameoka Station. It will pass several temples and a large red leaf forest on the way.
"But the tickets will be troublesome, right?"
Next to them, Mine Shiori looked at the two of them with some worry.
“It seems difficult to buy tickets for the fifth carriage.”
The Sagano Train has a total of five carriages, of which the fifth carriage is the most luxurious. It is famous because there are no glass windows, so you can see the outside scenery more intuitively.
"Don't worry."
Seeing what Mine Shiori said, Esaki Suguha immediately explained: "I had someone buy the tickets in advance on the train just now." "Eh, is this still possible?"
"Um."
Esaki Suguha nodded and looked not far away again.
Soon, a man in a black suit trotted over, handed over three paper tickets, and trotted away again.
She is truly worthy of being a young lady from a famous family.
Haruno Sawayama thinks that rich people will enjoy it and don’t even need to queue up by themselves.
No.
As Miss Esaki, she was kind to other tourists by not directly organizing a train ride.
For this, I must thank Miss Esaki.
It would be better if she could be less obsessed with her relationship.
"Let's go?"
Ezaki Naoba raised the ticket in his hand and smiled softly: "Or do you want to take the Hozu River cruise?"
"Let's save that for the end. After passing the red leaf forest, we can come down to visit the temple." Haruno Sawayama thought for a while and suggested, "Wait until we reach Kameoka at the end and then take the boat back."
Um.
He also wanted to ride on the boat.
Rather than saying it was a boat ride, it was more like rafting.
Although the river is very narrow, the rafting process may not be very exciting, but it is nice to be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Arashiyama from another route.
But this way the time schedule will become very tight.
Besides, he couldn't just take his mood into account. On the way, he noticed that Mine Shiori seemed to be secretly reading the guide to Nonomiya Shrine.
The other party seemed to be very interested in the "turtle stone" in front of Nomiya Mahakala.
But yes, this is said to be "a strange stone that will make your wishes come true within a year if you touch it and pray." It is especially famous for its effect of "realizing love."
What's more, Haruno Sawayama also wants to walk the bamboo forest path outside Nonomiya Shrine, which is a check-in holy place that appears in many works.
But then again.
No one is going to blow themselves up, right?
Thinking of this, Sawayama Haruno suddenly glanced at Esaki Suguha uneasily.
The other party had already led Feng Shiori towards the train station.
Um.
There shouldn't be any self-destruction. Suguha Ezaki seems to be hiding something calmly.
"Haruno, why don't you come over?"
Esaki Suguha turned around and looked at him slightly surprised.
After noticing the sight of the two women, Haruno Sawayama quickly collected his thoughts and walked towards them.
Perhaps they arrived just in time. As soon as the three of them entered the station, they saw a small train coming back. After showing the paper receipt and tearing it in half, the three of them were able to sit in the fifth carriage smoothly.
Fortunately, there were no children on this trip.
In addition to Sawayama Haruno and the other three, there was also a pair that looked like a newlywed couple, and another pair that looked like two girls who looked like sisters.
Along the way, you can avoid being attacked by children with noise.
Sawayama Haruno breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Start from the station and get down to Togetsukyo Bridge, the next attraction?"
Next to her, Mine Shiori acted like a travel guide. She held her cell phone and muttered: "After walking around Togetsukyo Bridge, you can take the upper road to the bamboo forest path, and you can also go to the shrine. When you get out, Just go to Arashiyama Street and take the train again.”
"Shiori, you are really serious."
"Of course, you have to prepare in advance." Feng Shizhi muttered.
The way he looks serious is a bit inexplicably cute.
But most of Haruno Sawayama's attention was still on the scenery outside.
As the small train started slowly, the surrounding scenery also slowly "moved".
The only pity is that along the starting direction from Saga, the first half of the scenic route is really limited and pitiful, and most of it is relatively close to nature.
The nature here refers to nature with "nothing".
So after just looking at it for a short while, Haruno Sawayama quickly withdrew his gaze in disappointment.
"The scenery over the Tenryuji Temple might be better. Would Haruno want to go?"
Suguha Esaki was sitting on his left. After seeing his movements, she thoughtfully said: "Before going to the bridge, you can walk back a little to see Tenryuji Temple."
"Forget it about Tianlong Temple, do you want to go?"
Sawayama Haruno touched his chin and said casually: "I don't think I'm particularly interested in the first half of the journey. Although the weather is very good, it feels too empty. It's better to go to the bamboo forest early to watch."
"I think so too."
Mine Shiori on the right quickly agreed again.
Well. There is no stone in Tenryuji Temple that can "fulfill love wishes".
If you want to go there, I would definitely like to go to Nonomiya Shrine first.
"Apart from the lack of space, there are other reasons."
Not sure what he thought of, Sawayama Haruno smiled helplessly.
After noticing that others were not looking at them, he quickly explained in a low voice: "I feel that the scenic spots near Tianlong Temple are not as beautiful as Ginkaku Temple. After coming out of Ginkaku Temple, I felt a little disappointed."
