Chapter 172 Let’s travel together

Chapter 172 Let’s travel together

Because of family topics and interesting childhood stories, the atmosphere in the car was much better, with people talking and laughing.

At 11:30, after nearly three hours of driving, we finally arrived at our destination.

"Here we are."

As he reversed into the parking space and applied the handbrake, Kurosawa let out a long sigh of relief and finally let go of the steering wheel.

Although he likes Runa-san's car very much, he still gets tired after driving it for a long time.

"Thank you for your hard work. Where is this place?"

Seeing his relieved look, Ninomiya Chizuru looked around through the car window after expressing her condolences.

This is an open-air parking lot, and there are many cars nearby. At a glance, you can't tell where it is.

"One of the famous scenic spots in Nagano Prefecture, Adera Valley."

Kurosawa Hikaru unbuckled his seat belt, which was also the introduction.

"River valley? Are you going to sketch by the creek today?"

Although this is the first time Ninomiya Chizuru has heard of it, she can already feel what kind of place it is from the name.

She is not a travel expert, so she doesn’t know many scenic spots in the country.

"Get out of the car."

Kurosawa nodded slightly, confirmed the location for sketching, took out the key, closed the car, and opened the door.

After getting out of the car, he held his right shoulder with one hand, shook his arms, stretched his muscles, and walked towards the back of the car.

"I'm here to help."

Ninomiya Chizuru, who got out of the car, saw his actions and followed him.

This time they are not just here to travel, but to paint from life, so they must bring painting tools.

By the time she got to the back of the car, Kurosawa Hikaru had already opened the trunk.

She took a look and saw that there were several big bags containing a lot of things.

At a glance, there is a drawing board, a bracket for fixing the drawing board, a bag filled with many small things, and a tightly packed package?

She had taken art classes before and had some ideas about these things.

"Take this."

Although he had to behave like a gentleman, Kurosawa Hikaru only had two hands and couldn't take everything in one go, so he simply handed her the folded fixed bracket.

"I can still get it."

After taking the aluminum fixed bracket, although it was large, it was very light. Ninomiya Chizuru clamped it on her waist with one hand and stretched out the other hand.

It was a three-hour drive from Tokyo to here, and she could only watch helplessly as she was unable to help.

In contrast, Kurosawa had been driving Runa's car for so long and was already very tired. It was her turn.

"Then I'll trouble you."

Seeing her actions, Kurosawa Hikari handed her the bag containing various painting tools without being polite.

This bag contains small things such as paintbrushes, drawing paper, and handmade knives. Although there are a lot of them, they are still relatively light.

Immediately afterwards, Kurosawa Hikaru picked up the remaining large drawing board and the package, which was quite heavy.

"Boom."

After closing the trunk and locking the car, they started walking.

From the free parking lot, it only takes a few minutes to walk to Asera Valley.

"It feels like you are quite familiar with this place. Have you been here before?"

Because his pace was very comfortable and natural, Ninomiya Chizuru, who was walking in high heels, carrying a bag and a fixed bracket, walked with him, looking at the completely unfamiliar environment around her with some curiosity.

"This is my first time here. The reason why I am familiar with it is because I checked a lot of guides on the Internet before choosing this place. The road in Asera Valley is easy to identify, so just follow the road forward."

Kurosawa Hikaru smiled. He had been immersed in reading before and didn't understand many aspects of neon.

But now the Internet is very convenient. You can basically get anything done by searching online.

"Will there be a lot of people?"

Ninomiya Chizuru nodded and looked around.

There were quite a few people around, basically either with their families or in pairs, male and female groups chatting and laughing, probably lovers or couples... and some elderly people.

The number was not very large, but at a glance along the road, there were about a dozen people.

"There are quite a lot of people. After all, it is one of the famous attractions in Nagano Prefecture. There are not only locals but also foreigners.

"Are there many people?"

After learning about this situation, Ninomiya Chizuru suddenly felt a little nervous and uneasy.

Although Tokyo is a three-hour drive away from here, today is Saturday, which is the time to travel and have fun.

Perhaps being so far away, the possibility of being recognized has been reduced to the lowest level, but after all, she is in a public place or a tourist attraction. If someone knows her, it will be troublesome.

"The Asi Valley is six kilometers long and very wide. We need to find a place with few people in the middle. Places with many people are difficult to sketch."

Kurosawa Hikaru naturally knew her concerns and added.

"Indeed, places with many people are too noisy."

Upon hearing this, Ninomiya Chizuru immediately agreed and agreed.

"When you learn that you are going to a place with few people, your first reaction is not to be nervous, but to feel relieved?" Seeing her reaction, Kurosawa Hikaru thought a little funny.

When girls learn that a boy is taking them to a place with few people, they usually feel wary and repelled.

Because unlike boys, girls are often taught many concepts to protect themselves when they grow up.

If a girl is willing to go with you to a place with few people, it means that you are basically in a good position.

Even if she doesn't like you, she still trusts you very much and has no wariness about you. No matter how you interpret it, it is good.

Soon, they walked towards a bus.

"Want to take a car?"

"Although the stream is six kilometers long, it is even longer if you walk along the road. It is better to take a car directly to each site."

Kurosawa nodded and took her into the car.

There were already some guests in the car, including neon people and some foreign faces.

As they arrived, everyone looked at them and paid attention.

Whether it's Hikaru Kurosawa or Chizuru Ninomiya, their looks are so outstanding. The key is that they have a special temperament and a strong sense of presence. It's hard not to notice them.

"Artist?"

"Probably not, I didn't see the camera."

Some boys even thought Chizuru Ninomiya was too beautiful and thought they were entertainers, but they were quickly denied by their girlfriends who were traveling with them.

There were a lot of empty seats in the car. Kurosawa Hikaru found an empty space and asked her to sit in it first before sitting next to her.

The gap between the seats was not very large, and the two people sat very close to each other without speaking.

Not long after, the bus left.

Along the way, Ninomiya Chizuru couldn't help but look at the scenery outside the window because it was her first time visiting this place and she had never read the guide.

Different from going to an amusement park, this kind of tourist attraction is quite fresh because it is very similar.

As for Kurosawa Hikaru, he was also looking sideways out of the window.

To be more precise, he was looking at Ninomiya Chizuru who was looking out the window.

She has a beautiful profile, delicate and small ears, blue hair that is slightly curly and wavy, her skin is fair and delicate, and her whole body exudes a charming fragrance.

The scenery outside the window contrasted with her like this, and it was as beautiful as a shot in a movie.

"Right here."

Seeing her like this, Kurosawa Hikaru felt very happy.

It has to be said that the dating mission is like a beacon, which can guide him to experience many things that he never imagined before.

If the mission target had not been specified, he might not have been able to come to Asera Valley in his life, let alone invite Miss Ninomiya to come with him.

Not long after, when they stopped at the third stop, they got off the bus together.

"Where to go next?"

Ninomiya Chizuru asked while holding something and looking at the road along the way and the bus going away.

"Walk along the way, look at the scenery, and find a place to stop."

Kurosawa Hikaru looked at the surrounding environment and said.

Different from the entrance, as they got off the bus halfway, they came to the mountains and forests.

Looking around, there are many trees and valleys, and a clear and winding stream, clearly visible through the leaf forest.

Ninomiya Chizuru could tell that he wanted to find a good location with few people, so she nodded tacitly.

The two people were walking on the road, looking at the stream, and could see people from time to time.

Asa Valley is free and open, no tickets are required, and no one cares about you. It is just that everyone has the awareness to consciously protect the environment and not litter.

This place is no different from a valley in the countryside. It has not been over-exploited and is a natural natural environment.

Listening to the sound of the stream, Kurosawa Hikaru observed the stream through the leaf forest. After walking for five minutes, he finally found an open and uninhabited place.

"It's nice here, go down and have a look."

Kurosawa Hikaru spotted the location and also suggested.

"good."

Ninomiya Chizuru nodded slightly, and then followed him into the irregular wild road.

The so-called wild road is a naturally formed mountain road that has not been developed.

One characteristic of such a road is that it is narrow, steep and hidden.

"Come."

Kurosawa Hikaru knew that she was wearing high heels and it was difficult to walk on this mountainous road. He stood firm in front of her, so he turned sideways and extended his hand to her.

Ninomiya Chizuru, who was trying to walk down, saw him extending his hand to her, and without any hesitation, she took it naturally.

Holding hands, this is not holding hands, but holding hands.

Following behind, Ninomiya Chizuru looked at the road and his hand holding hers, feeling a sense of security and joy in her heart.

Not long after, they passed through the woods and mountain roads and came to the valley.

"..."

Arriving at the edge of the valley, stepping on the uneven gravel, Ninomiya Chizuru looked at the scenery in front of her, feeling dazed for a moment.

This place is like a paradise, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, isolated, quiet and comfortable.

The creek meanders down, and the crystal clear water flows past. The underwater rocks are arranged in irregular patterns without any modification, but they give people a sense of natural beauty.

The sound of flowing water is like the flow of all streams, which can wash away all worries.

How long has it been since she traveled? The last time was during a school trip in high school.

She had taken family trips before, to Hokkaido and Kagoshima, but it wasn't purely touristy.

Because her parents would go there to visit someone, and as for the family trip, it was just incidental.

But this time it was different. She was here for fun, and she was with Kurosawa Hikari.

"This place is so beautiful." Realizing this, Ninomiya Chizuru turned around, looked at Kurosawa Hikaru, and praised.

"It is indeed beautiful."

Kurosawa Hikaru saw her clear and beautiful eyes, overflowing with joy and admiration, and looked at the stream again, feeling very happy.

Both she and the scenery here are beautiful.

It took three hours to drive, seven minutes to sit in the car, and five minutes to walk. It was really worth it to arrive at this place after such a long journey.
