The great phrase "handling with ease" should normally belong to him, such as "Emperor Hayakawa handled the challenger with ease," but now it has become "Faced with the challenge of Emperor Hayakawa, xxx handled it with ease." How can Hayakawa, who has always been very self-important, accept this?
Damn it... I'll trample you two under my feet sooner or later.
Hayakawa harbored malicious fantasies, then looked at the two girls standing halfway up the mountain, dressed in very thick down jackets.
"Yahoo!"
The two girls stood side by side, striking the same pose, cupping their hands in front of their faces and shouting towards the vast, endless mountains in the distance. The mountains responded with their own voices, echoing "Ya-hoo" through the trees on the mountainside, bringing smiles of satisfaction to the two girls' faces.
"..."
Are these two kindergarten kids? I've looked down on these kinds of attention-seeking brats since the third grade of elementary school.
Hayakawa felt as if his heart was bleeding when someone like this repeatedly humiliated him.
"Come on, Hayakawa, you come too!"
Furuhashi withdrew his hand with satisfaction, turned around and pulled Hayakawa to the side, helping him strike a pose: "Come on, 'Yahoo!'"
"I do not want it!"
Hayakawa resolutely refused to shake off Furuhashi's hand, saying expressionlessly, "I won't do such a boring thing."
"Here we go again, with those unpleasant remarks,"
Fumino Furuhashi said helplessly, "Please, shouting into the distance is the most important thing when hiking."
"What's the point of the most important thing anyway?"
Hayakawa looked at Ogata with a cold expression: "Ogata, you speak."
"I do not know either."
Rizu Ogata shook her head and said calmly, "But I felt much better after shouting, and the fatigue from climbing the mountain was also relieved a lot. That should be the reason."
"No need then. I'm in a good mood and have plenty of energy; I'm not tired at all."
Hayakawa sneered, displaying his effortless ease: "So you don't need to, huh?"
"Oh, you seem to be in a good mood. That's impressive!"
Upon hearing this, Fumino Furuhashi's expression instantly turned somewhat strange, and she said sarcastically, "The two of us have been so conflicted lately, but it hasn't affected you at all."
"..."
Noticing that Ogata Rizu's expression had also become aggrieved, Hayakawa promptly changed the subject. He looked up and said in a serious tone, "We should be heading to the hotel by now. Even though we booked it online, what if someone else snatches it up? So it's better to get there sooner rather than later."
"Humph,"
Fumino Furuhashi snorted in dissatisfaction and said, "Sorry, we're both in a bad mood and too tired to keep up with Hayakawa-sama. But there's nothing we can do about it. Hayakawa-kun's physical abilities are comparable to the ace athletes in the school's sports clubs. He's just too amazing. Rin and I only have some insignificant advantages in our respective specialties. We can't compare to the amazing Hayakawa-kun at all."
"Let's go, Ri-chan."
After saying that, Ogata Riju tossed her head and led Ogata Riju upstairs, while Hayakawa stood there stunned.
"..."
The next moment, his entire face became incredibly distorted and gloomy, as black as coal.
Me? This young master? This emperor…
Such a great man, I weep (5) Si Liu Ni Qi, you actually described him as a member of the school sports club? What do I have in common with those gorillas who run to the playground shirtless after school?! I am actually on the same level as them.
And they even used their own grades to sarcastically humiliate me.
I won't let you get away with this... Gu Qiao, I won't let you get away with this.
Hayakawa's face was extremely gloomy, and he silently made a voodoo doll for Fumino Furuhashi in his heart.
Fumino Furuhashi noticed Hayakawa's coal-black face out of the corner of her eye and couldn't help but smile.
Hayakawa is someone who really dislikes sports, or rather, dislikes sports in general. As a result, he has no liking for the people in the school's sports clubs. So, whenever you put them on a platform and compare them to Hayakawa, Hayakawa will immediately get angry and look like he has been greatly insulted.
Fumino Furuhashi already knew this. As for the person who said that Furuhashi was trying to provoke Hayakawa, since Hayakawa usually cares so much about grades, she thought that using her grades to humiliate him would be effective. And it seems that the effect was outstanding.
hum.
……
The three of them walked down one side of the mountain, then took a tram at the foot of the mountain for half an hour before stopping. After walking for a while, they arrived at the seaside. From a high point, they could see the harbor where many fishing boats were docked, as well as the bustling fishermen who were up early to fish, and the large boats equipped with huge hooks. Whether it was small fishing boats, large fishing boats, or the endless stream of people, they were all just small decorations in this azure ocean.
"It's bigger than I expected."
Hayakawa led the two women down from the high place, looked around, and said, "We probably won't be able to find the hotel we booked for a while. Let's ask for directions."
Furuhashi and Ogata had no objections, but both of them were a bit shy in unfamiliar places, so Hayakawa had to go and ask for directions.
"Hello, excuse me, where is this hotel located...?"
Hayakawa stopped a passerby and showed him the names of the orders on his phone.
The passerby glanced at them and pointed in a direction. Hayakawa thanked him and led Furuhashi Fumio forward. Before long, they arrived at the inn.
"This is it."
Hayakawa glanced at the photo on the order, then at the quaint gatehouse of the inn, and only after confirming that everything was alright did he lead the two women inside.
"Hello, how many rooms would you like to book...?"
The receptionist was taken aback when she saw the two women and one man enter. After many years of work and being used to such things, she calmly said...
“I have an order here,”
Hayakawa didn't want to cause any trouble for them, so he simply showed them his phone: "Yes, the phone number is correct, and the name is Hayakawa."
The receptionist quickly searched and found Hayakawa's name. While looking at the computer, she said, "You booked three rooms, right... and they're located on the third floor, right, right?"
"Thank you,"
Hayakawa took the key card and handed it to Furuhashi and Ogata, after which the three of them went upstairs together.
Chapter 347 Sibling Relationship
The bright wooden hallway floor, with its understated yet beautiful dark red carpet, features yellow and white tatami rooms. The rooms are fully equipped, simple yet comfortable. A sign on the low table reads "Welcome to Otaru" in elegant handwriting, followed by brief local information, tourist highlights, hotel details, and a contact number for the front desk.
"finally reached."
After entering the room, Fumino Furuhashi placed her two suitcases in the corner, then turned around to look at the room's layout before nodding in satisfaction: "It feels very nice."
"Ah."
Hayakawa gave a brief reply and sat down at the low table. Furuhashi came over and picked up the hotel brochure on the table to look through it. After a couple of glances, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately got up and went to the closet in the room.
"This is,"
Guqiao opened the cabinet door, took out an instrument with an assembly structure, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then excitedly called to Hayakawa: "Hayakawa, come and see, look at this."
Hayakawa walked over and looked at it, asking in confusion, "What is this?"
Fumino Furuhashi smiled slightly: "A kotatsu."
Hayakawa frowned: "A kotatsu? What's that?"
"Oh, you don't know what a kotatsu is?"
Upon hearing this, Fumino Furuhashi was immediately shocked: "Are you Japanese?"
Ogata Rizu, who was standing next to her, was also stunned when she heard this: "Hayakawa?"
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Hayakawa's expression immediately darkened, and he said sternly, "Do I really need to know?"
"because…"
Fumino Furuhashi scratched her head, thought for a moment, and then said, "Don't you keep a kotatsu in your bedroom during the winter?"
"No."
Hayakawa shook his head: "Never even heard of it."
"what?"
Fumino Furuhashi was genuinely shocked. Putting everything else aside, in her opinion, it was as unbelievable as a Japanese person not knowing about a kotatsu as a Korean person not having heard of kimchi.
"You see, like this,"
Fumino Furuhashi immediately went to the low table in the middle of the tatami floor, installed the heater under the table, then laid a quilt on top, and showed it to Hayakawa: "This is it. Haven't you seen it before?"
Hayakawa frowned and looked for a long time: "No."
"..."
Fumino Furuhashi remained silent for a long time, her eyes filled with confusion: "Then what will you do in winter? Won't your room be cold?"
Hayakawa looked puzzled: "Why is the room cold? Isn't there underfloor heating?"
Fumino Furuhashi: "..."
Well, it's probably because Hayakawa is a boy and has a stronger physique, or maybe it's because his family is well-off and his room isn't cold, so he's never experienced something as wonderful as a kotatsu. Furuhashi Fumino is different. Every winter, although Furuhashi's bedroom isn't cold, she always gets cold hands and feet because of her cold constitution. Therefore, she has a very good impression of kotatsu, which is undoubtedly a winter essential.
As Fumino Furuhashi thought this, her gaze toward Hayakawa became filled with pity.
What a pitiful child! As a Japanese person, he has never experienced the wonderful thing called a kotatsu. But there's nothing we can do about it, since he hasn't spent a winter here since leaving home. But it's okay, you're about to experience your first winter, so let you have a taste of it.
"It's perfect that I haven't used it before."
After thinking for a long time, Fumino Furuhashi smiled gently at Hayakawa and said, "Then you can use it tonight. It just so happens that the temperature has dropped these past two days, so it's the perfect time to use a kotatsu."
Zero% Dream II Second Scattered Dam Dad's Affairs "Uh..."
Hayakawa frowned slightly as he looked at the low table covered with a blanket, and slowly shook his head: "I'll pass, you guys use it. I feel like this thing will explode if you use it for too long."
"It won't explode!"
Fumino Furuhashi retorted angrily, while Hayakawa had already gone to the side to put down his luggage. He always had a strong sense of wariness towards things he had never encountered before.
That wretched Hayakawa, he's such a spoilsport every day.
Seeing her like this, Fumino Furuhashi was furious, but she could only maintain a smile on her face. She turned to Ogata and said, "Rika-chan, if she doesn't want it, we can use it. We'll move this fireplace to our room later and not let her use it, hmph!"
With that, Fumino Furuhashi angrily threw off the blanket, removed the heater from the low table, and intended to take it with her.
"Our room?"
Ogata Rizu was busy taking things out of her suitcase when she heard Furuhashi's words and was taken aback. She said, "What are you talking about, Fumino? This is our room."
"Ah, oh."
Fumino Furuhashi was taken aback at first, then looked at Hayakawa with a sudden realization and arrogantly ordered, "Did you hear that? This is my and Ri-chan's room. Now get out of here."
"whispering sound…"
Hayakawa grumbled angrily, picked up his suitcase, and walked out.
"What have you all been doing since just now? This is Hayakawa's room too,"
Rizu Ogata stopped Hayakawa with her hand, and then, under the puzzled gazes of the two, calmly said, "I booked a three-person tatami room."
"..."
Fumino Furuhashi: "..."
The expressions of the two froze instantly. After a long while, a faint blush appeared on Fumino Furuhashi's face. She looked at Ogata in front of her with a strange expression and said in a low voice, "Rika-chan, where did your common sense go?"
How could someone say something like "three-person tatami room" in such a calm tone? It's practically saying, "The three of us will sleep together tonight!"
At this moment, Fumino Furuhashi recalled the fear of being dominated by the clueless science-loving girl. The travel itinerary was usually arranged by her and Hayakawa. For example, Hayakawa booked the plane tickets and hotels when they arrived in Hokkaido. After arriving in Hokkaido, she made the travel itinerary herself, such as the route to Mount Yotei and the tickets. She also decided what to eat. Ogata Rizu, on the other hand, only needed to eat, play and sleep. She never had to do anything.
However, these past two days, due to the relationship issues among the three of them, both Fumino Furuhashi and Hayakawa have been somewhat distracted. Hayakawa, in particular, often has to spend most of the day outside training and occasionally goes to other temples with Hiki. So when it came to deciding who should arrange the itinerary, both of them subconsciously declined and gave the task to the local authorities.
Upon seeing this, Rizu Ogata immediately patted her chest and volunteered to take charge of the rest.
"Ah."
Fumino Furuhashi initially wanted to take it on herself, since she didn't trust Ogata to do things properly. However, seeing the bright eyes in Ogata Riju's eyes, Fumino hesitated for a moment but then smiled and agreed.
It should be fine. Even if Ri-chan is a bit clueless, it's just booking a room, what could be wrong with that?
"Don't worry, leave it to me, I'll handle it perfectly!"
Riju Ogata smiled and reassured Furuhashi.
Let's go back to the present...
Absolutely no problem... right?
Fumino Furuhashi glanced at the seamless room around her, then at Riju Ogata, who looked completely at her as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and her lips twitched slightly.
