Chapter 1420 The Great Adventure of Going Out for Fun (Part 1)
At the Nohara residence, a wail erupted in the morning: "Ah! I overslept! Get up, it's 10:30!"
"Ah!" Misae exclaimed in surprise.
Mingxu calmly walked in from the doorway and looked at them: "Oh, Dad, Mom, you're up."
"Xiao Xu, no, you were up a long time ago, why didn't you wake us up?" Guangzhi and the others were stunned when they saw Mingxu and asked in confusion.
"Please watch the video!" Mingxu took out a video recorder.
"It's 6:30 in the morning. I'm going to wake up Mom and Dad." In the video, after saying this to the camera, Mingxu walked to Hiroshi and Misae, grabbed their arms, and shook them vigorously while shouting, "Dad, Mom! Get up!!"
But no matter how much they shook them, they wouldn't get up. Misae even shook off Mingxu's hand and casually said, "Xiaoxu, sleep a little longer, just a little longer~"
"Yeah, just ten minutes, ten minutes," Hiroshi said from the side, then the two of them turned over and went back to sleep.
Mingxu looked troubled and scratched his head. The camera then dimmed and brightened again: "It's 6:40 now. I have to wake them up again." With that, Mingxu went back to them, grabbed Guangzhi's shoulders, and shook him vigorously: "Dad! Get up! We're going to be late!!!"
"Huh? Oh~ It's still early, there's still some time. Sleep a little longer, sleep a little longer. Xiao Xu, you, you go prepare breakfast, we'll eat it on the way." After saying that, Guangzhi turned over and lay down again.
Misae was also agreeing with Hiroshi: "Asahi, go!"
"..." Mingxu looked at them speechlessly.
The camera then went dark several times, the last time being at 8:00 AM, and then there were no more updates.
After turning off the video recorder, Mingxu calmly looked at them: "Now you know why I'm so calm, right?"
"..." The others also fell silent.
There was no other way but to get up quickly, pack my things, and set off.
"Sigh, it's already too late." By the time they arrived at their destination, it was already dusk.
"It's all because someone turned off the alarm clock while half asleep!" Hiroshi glanced at Shin-chan. That kid, he'd also turned off the alarm clock this morning, then held it in his arms, and Asahi couldn't wake them up no matter what. Sigh~
"Dad, don't mind it~" Shin-chan waved his hand dismissively.
"It wasn't my fault!" Guangzhi had just finished speaking when he saw Mingxu give him a long, brooding look: "Uh, it seems like it has something to do with me too..."
"Oh dear, it'll be dark by the time we get to the hotel, so we won't be able to see any scenery at all," Misae couldn't help but complain.
"There's nothing we can do, everyone got up so late." Mingxu's quiet words immediately silenced them; after hearing that, they really had no reason to refute him.
"It's okay, as long as there are pretty older sisters around, I'm fine~" Shin-chan said with a grin, not caring at all.
"It's related!" Misae rolled her eyes at Shin-chan. Who came to see their older sister?
As darkness fell, it became completely dark by the time they arrived at their destination.
"arrive."
"Wow, it looks just like a house from a folk tale." Looking at the house in front of them, they also had a somewhat... well, you know.
"that is true."
"It really suits the feeling of a mother," Shin-chan said, looking at Misae.
"Really? Why?" Misae asked, puzzled.
"A place like this must be inhabited by some ancient mountain monster." As soon as Shin-chan said this, Misae instantly changed her demeanor, transforming into her demon form and grabbing Shin-chan: "I'm going to eat you!"
"Tsk tsk, another form has been added." Mingxu clapped his hands from the side.
"Alright, stop fooling around, let's go." Hiroshi called out helplessly, looking at them, then took the lead and pulled open the sliding door in front of him: "Is anyone home?!"
As soon as the door opened, a person was kneeling in the entryway, with two candles beside him, looking rather eerie.
"Hey, hello, I'm Nohara, I have an appointment." Hiroshi walked over slowly, a little scared, and looked at the other person, speaking slowly.
The man suddenly opened his eyes: "Welcome, everyone! I am the owner of this inn, my name is Kyudo Ryota!"
"Um, please take care of me," Hiroshi said somewhat awkwardly.
"I've been waiting for you all for a long time!" Ronta looked at them, his words somewhat unfriendly.
"I'm sorry for being so late," Misae said awkwardly.
"Uncle, have you been sitting here waiting?" Xiao Xin asked, leaning closer.
"Waiting here before the guests arrive is an essential quality of a samurai!" the innkeeper said to them with a serious expression.
"Wow~ So cool!" Shin-chan clapped his hands and exclaimed.
"A samurai?" Hiroshi muttered under his breath.
Mingxu tugged at Guangzhi's sleeve: "Let's go to our room early, Dad. We're all hungry too."
"That's right."
"Please lead us to our room," Hiroshi said, looking at the owner.
"Please!" The innkeeper nodded and led them toward their room: "Tonight, only the Nohara family's VIPs are staying here."
Upon hearing this, Shin-chan's eyes widened immediately: "Hey, there aren't any pretty older sisters?"
"There's a beautiful mom here~" Misae said narcissistically from behind.
"..." The group fell silent. Mingxu clapped his hands quietly, "Mom is so right!"
"Xiao Xu has such good taste!" Mei Ya happily hugged Ming Xu and praised him.
"Boss, could you please take us to the outdoor hot spring pool later?" Hiroshi asked the boss.
"An open-air hot spring pool?" The owner stopped in his tracks.
"Yes, because I wanted to go for a soak in the hot springs after dinner." Hiroshi nodded.
"Haha, stop joking." The boss suddenly laughed.
"Huh?" A group of people looked at the boss with some confusion.
"Going to an open-air hot spring so late, hahaha~" The owner laughed as he looked at them.
"Haha, no way, it's only 7 o'clock." Hiroshi said with an awkward laugh.
"Hmm, it seems none of you have read the flyers carefully?" The shopkeeper said, pulling a flyer from his pocket and pointing to a spot on it: "Look here. It takes two hours to walk from the inn to the hidden fortress hot spring! Ah!"
When they saw this, everyone was stunned for a moment, then looked at Misae: "Mom, didn't you see it?"
"...So many, who's going to look at them carefully?" Misae muttered.
"It's too late. If you had come 30 minutes earlier, you might have made it in time," the boss said, looking at them with a serious expression.
"Oh, okay." The group nodded, looking at the boss's expression.
After leading them to their rooms, the boss said, "These are the rooms you will be staying in."
"Um... how should I put it?"
"It's very ordinary."
"Xiao Xin."
"Boss, can we have dinner now?" Mingxu asked the boss behind him.
"We only provide breakfast." The owner laughed and shook his head again, then took out the promotional leaflet: "It says so here."
"..." Mingxu took the promotional leaflet and looked at it: "VIPs who need dinner, please make a reservation in advance!"
"Because we didn't make a reservation in advance, we didn't prepare any ingredients. It would have been better if we had come 30 minutes earlier." The owner remained calm.
"...You mean we don't have dinner? No way?" the group exclaimed in surprise.
The boss calmly looked at them: "We do have cup noodles, 500 yuan a cup." Mingxu could see the shrewdness in the boss's serious face.
"...It's so expensive!"
"Because it's deep in the mountains!" the owner said calmly.
"So, is hot water free?" Mingxu raised an eyebrow and asked the shopkeeper.
"No need," the boss shook his head.
"Okay, could you please provide us with a pot of hot water? Thank you," Mingxu said, waving his hand at the shopkeeper.
"Okay." The boss didn't ask why and calmly went out to prepare hot water for them.
"Hey, Xiaoxu, what's wrong?" Meiya and the others looked at Mingxu with some confusion.
Mingxu took off his backpack and took out some self-heating food: "I brought some self-heating food with me. It can be eaten with hot or cold water."
"Wow~ Long live Xiao Xu~" The group cheered immediately.
Hiroshi patted Akira on the shoulder, his face full of relief: "Akira, you're so reliable, otherwise we would have gone hungry tonight." Misae nodded in agreement, her eyes full of approval: "Akira is becoming more and more sensible, unlike some other people." As she spoke, Misae glanced at Shin-chan beside her.
