"What about Dongda?"
"Well, let's discuss Waseda first."
Natsume Rin's natural attitude in changing the subject made the girl opposite laugh.
Alas, he just wanted to boost his classmates’ confidence, why is it so difficult?
The study session didn't end until around eight o'clock in the evening. When everyone said goodbye to each other at the restaurant door, Natsume Rin talked about the last exam of this semester.
"We can go on vacation after the exam!" Shiina Mahiru raised her hand excitedly.
"Have you decided on a place?" Natsume Rin asked in confusion.
"Because it's summer, Xiaoxue finally chose the place in the mountains. I asked my dad for the key to a villa, and then we will go there." Shiina Mahiru said.
It felt like a world they would never be able to see, so Totsuka Ayaka took the initiative to leave, leaving the others to discuss how to get to the mountains and what things to bring with them.
Chapter 236 Take a Rest~
After the exam, Shiina Mahiru decided on the time to leave.
On the day of departure, she deliberately changed into light clothes for going to the mountains. In order to prevent mosquito bites and skin exposure, she kept her body well covered while keeping it light.
Looking at her carrying a big bag, Natsume Rin suspected that they were not going on vacation but going hiking.
"Don't worry, it's definitely a vacation." Shiina Mahiru emphasized.
After packing up everything, they contacted the other two people. The senior went to find Yukino early and prepared to get in the car together there.
As for the person driving the car, Shiina Mahiru and Natsume Rin looked at each other, and finally after he shrugged and said he didn't have a driver's license, they could only pick up the keys helplessly.
During the holiday, she took some time out to take the driving test. On normal days, a driver usually does this, but now that they are going out for vacation, it would seem out of place to add a driver along.
"Where is the location?"
After stuffing the luggage into the trunk, Natsume Rin sat in the passenger seat, fastened her seat belt, and asked Shiina Mahiru.
"It's a resort on a mountain near Tokyo, not far from the beach, which satisfies two wishes." Shiina Mahiru started the car. She was still a little unfamiliar with it when she left the community, but she got the feel for it when she reached the main road.
However, Yukino's house was not far away, so she was forced to stop before she could maintain the feeling for long.
Yukino and senior Kasumigaoka, who were also fully armed, were standing downstairs of the apartment building. When they saw Natsume Rin coming out, they waved and walked over with their suitcases.
With the preconceived notion in mind, the two of them had no choice but to squeeze in the back even though they were unwilling. After making sure everyone was seated properly, Shiina Mahiru hummed a song and started the car.
"So happy?" Natsume Rin asked teasingly, leaning against the window to admire the scenery outside.
"No." While stuck in traffic, Shiina Mahiru explained, "I was inexplicably happy and couldn't help singing."
"She's indeed a very easy-to-please girl." Natsume Rin said.
"I'm not easy to please."
"Really? Let me try."
The people in front were going too far, and Yukino, who was sitting in the back, coughed twice to remind them that this was not a deserted place.
Shiina Mahiru calmed down and stared at the traffic light intently, while Natsume Rin squinted her eyes and leaned back in the chair, looking like she was about to take a rest.
The senior student in the back row looked at the mirror in front of her and noticed their awkward appearance. She thought it was quite funny and started laughing.
“You guys are so funny.”
"Senior, this isn't funny." Yukino said calmly, "This is flirting."
Shiina Mahiru's hand slipped and she almost hit the car in the next lane. Natsume Rin was startled and quickly looked at Yukinoshita Yukino, asking her not to provoke the driver at this time.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm still a little unfamiliar with this." Shiina Mahiru almost scared herself and focused all her attention on the steering wheel.
Yukino pursed her lips and stopped talking. She leaned against the car window and fell asleep. Natsume Rin did not dare to relax and started chatting with Shiina Mahiru.
As they left Tokyo, there were fewer cars on the road, and Shiina Mahiru, who had regained her confidence, began to speed up.
"We will stay in the villa for a week this time. It will definitely be fun." Shiina Mahiru said, "Natsume, you will accompany me to go horseback riding then."
"Boring activity. Can I apply to lie down in the room and sleep?" Natsume Rin yawned and looked at the monotonous scenery in front of her. She felt that she should not have stayed up late last night.
But he couldn't make up his mind. Editor Sonoko came to him late at night to discuss the new book, and Shiina Mahiru was too excited and came to Natsume's house to ask him for help on what to bring.
"No." Shiina Mahiru refused decisively, "Since we are going out to play, we definitely can't stay like we did in Tokyo. You have to accompany us for the next two weeks. I heard the scenery over there is very beautiful."
"It is said that?"
"Well, I never had the chance to go before, and this time I finally found time during the summer vacation." Her tone was a little excited.
No wonder I was so happy, it turned out to be the place I had been looking forward to for a long time.
Seeing her like this, Natsume Rin actually began to look forward to it.
After driving on the road for more than an hour, the shadow of a mountain appeared in the distance. The sleepy Natsume Rin became alert, and after passing a checkpoint, they finally arrived at the mountain resort for their summer vacation.
"Huh." After getting off the car, Shiina Mahiru, who had worked hard all the way, stamped her feet continuously. Natsume Rin carried her luggage, and the other two girls followed behind her into the two-story villa that was all white.
"Each person has a room. Everyone can pick the one they like first." After the host Shiina Mahiru changed her shoes, she instructed everyone not to treat them as outsiders.
"Oh!" Natsume Rin shouted in cooperation, aiming at the room she had long set her eyes on, and was about to go over there pulling her suitcase.
When he was outside, he discovered that there was a balcony facing the sun, and with precise calculations he determined the orientation of the interior of the house.
"Ah, there's someone here." Yukino, who was also very active, put one foot in front of the door and announced in the tone of a host.
Seeing her push the door open and pack her luggage, Natsume Rin decided that a good man should not fight with a bad woman, and found another nice house.
Since there were enough rooms on the first floor, no one went to the second floor. When he came out after finishing everything, the girls were still busy. Natsume Rin decided to go out and scout the terrain first.
In the small courtyard of the villa, the ground is covered with lush green plants. There are two trees in the yard with a hammock in the middle. Walking to the fence and looking not far away, you can see many places for sports. There are also people riding tall horses passing by the small road in front of you. No wonder Shiina Mahiru asked him to accompany her on horseback riding. There should be a horse farm or something nearby.
It is worthy of being a summer vacation destination for the rich, and the atmosphere of wealthy people is everywhere.
"Natsume." A voice called him from inside the room, and then the door was pushed open. Shiina Mahiru, who had changed her clothes, grabbed him and said, "Are you going out later?"
"Sure." Natsume Rin did not object.
"Then I'll go ask Xiaoxue and senior." Shiina Mahiru did not close the door, letting the warm midday sun fall on the door.
Several people showed great interest in the end, especially when it was time for dinner. Shiina Mahiru, who was tired from the journey, had no intention of cooking.
"Let's go!" Natsume Rin took the lead, relying on the map she had written down at the door, and led the three girls to stroll around the area.
At noon, the tall and crisp trees on both sides of the path could be heard the weak calls of birds. There were scattered tourists in the shade of the green lawn. When they occasionally met pedestrians on the road, they would greet each other.
The quiet and peaceful summer scene made Natsume Rin want to take a rest. As she continued to move forward, the feeling gradually disappeared as the noise became louder.
Chapter 237: Several Women, a Drama
At the end of the woods, there is a large commercial area, which makes the leisurely environment feel like returning to the city of Tokyo.
However, compared to the crowded Tokyo, this place was much more empty. After staying in front of the map board for a few minutes, they walked slowly inside.
"Why is it that going on vacation is always related to eating?" Mahiru Shiina sighed after ordering the food.
"..."
"Shiina-san, because we are human beings," Yukino replied.
"I thought Shiina-san's cooking was so delicious that she must also enjoy good food."
"Cooking is a hobby. I don't have too much pursuit for food. I just like to see other people's happy faces after eating." You are worthy of being an angel.
"like me?"
"It seems that I will have to accidentally put the wrong seasoning when I cook for you in the future to clear my name." Shiina Mahiru smiled happily and pinched her beautiful hair.
"That's a good idea. He should experience for himself how difficult cooking is so that he can have the correct concept." Yukino raised her hands in agreement.
"Don't add fuel to the fire. I know that Shiina-san has a hard time."
"Have it?"
"Don't you feel my burning gratitude? Shiina-san, my heart aches."
"Hey, did such a thing really exist?"
"How hot is it? Can you perform it live?"
Tsk, they wish they could die here.
Natsume Rin poured the tea as if nothing had happened, looking very innocent.
"Hahaha." The senior laughed cheerfully, and when Natsume Rin looked at her with an 'angry' look, she laughed even louder.
Shiina Mahiru supported her face with a faint smile on her face.
Yukino pounded the table, not hiding her sneer.
Natsume Rin urged loudly for lunch, and this clumsy evasion made the laughter even louder.
"Really? I'm just hungry." Natsume Rin slapped the table.
"What will happen if you're not hungry? Are you going to fight us alone?" Shiina Mahiru blinked curiously.
The dining table became quiet. Natsume Rin drank her tea and wanted to stand up to urge for the meal.
The warm sunlight passed through the trees and fell on the glass, bringing them a lot of warmth through the obstruction.
"The guests have been waiting for a long time."
This voice really saved Natsume Rin's life. He looked at the waiter with gratitude and sincerely apologized for his previous thoughts.
Rushing for food twice in three minutes is too crazy.
'I'll spare your life.'
Shiina Mahiru expressed this with her eyes, then turned to her plate and enjoyed the lunch she had been waiting for for a long time.
“It tastes good,” she commented.
"It's better to make it by Shiina-san herself. Do we have to stay here for the next few days?" Natsume Rin lowered her voice to avoid being heard.
"What else?" Shiina Mahiru looked at him innocently.
"I'm sorry, please let me know if you need any help. Shiina-san will have to take care of your meals for the next two weeks."
His behavior made the senior student opposite him laugh happily, and she wondered in her heart whether she should also learn how to cook.
