When Joyoto woke up, Soya simply woke up Hongzi, and Akane Kirino handed her the last station bento.
"Well... are you going to arrive?"
"It's still early, I just arrived in Hiroshima."
After taking the bento and opening the lid on it, Hongzi immediately smiled.
“So abundant…”
"It was all chosen by Soya." Akane Kirino stretched out her chopsticks, "Let me try that lotus root slice~"
"good."
They exchanged dishes from the bento with each other, and the lunch on the train continued.
After all, it was not comfortable to eat on the back of the seat, so Soya quickly turned around and sat down, and then noticed that only half of the bento left in Yuedu was left.
"Are you hungry? Why are you doing so urgently?"
"You will rob you."
“…that’s exchange.”
The train ran, and the fields and mountains outside the window were backwards. It was another sunny day, with a few white clouds floating in the blue sky, and the city in the distance slowly changed its posture.
Eating the bento, the train slowed down for a while and stopped at Hiroshima Station.
Some people got out of the car, some got in, and walked from the free seat car to the other side, but couldn't find a place to sit down.
After stopping for a while, the train continued to set off towards Shin Iwakiki, the next stop, and the dining time for Soya and the others had already ended.
"Give it to me."
After packing the bento boxes together, getting out of the car and then dealing with them, Zong Gu took a few sips of drinks and leaned against the back of the chair to empty it.
Three people slept halfway beside him and behind him, but after eating and drinking, they did not continue to fall asleep.
"It's almost coming soon?" Yue Du asked.
"It's early, I haven't even passed the Guanmen Strait yet."
"Where is that... just tell me how far is it."
Soya thought for a while, "The next stop is Shin Iwaki. If you count it, there are still seven stops."
"Hey..." Akane Kirino looked over, "Did Soya remember all the Shinkansen stations?"
"I have seen a lot of routes these two days, so I remember it."
Yuedu was not interested in his extraordinary memory. He just felt that the journey was long and couldn't help but sigh.
"There are seven more stops..."
Akane Kirino leaned forward and looked at him and said, "This is the fastest train."
"All right."
Yue Du responded perfunctorily, then leaned against the car window and started to be stunned.
But he was not at all restless, tossing and turning, or sighing, and then asking Zonggu how long it would take to get to the next stop;
After repeated this, Zong Gu finally became very upset. He left a sentence "No matter how long it will take, I won't go back today." Yue Du finally calmed down.
Akane Kirino looked at him, "I really don't like going out."
Zong Gu sneered: "It's just an Internet addiction."
“…”
Yue Du closed her eyes and turned her back to them. After a while, some snoring sounds came.
There is no help...
Zong Gu can only be glad that he is not a human being, just to be happy.
Akane Kirino on the other side did not continue to sleep. She chatted with Hongko in the back seat for a while, and she sat down and posted for a while;
When Zong Gu's attention fell on her again, the girl clamped her legs and twisted her body slightly in the seat, looking a little unable to sit still.
He noticed it after a while and whispered, "Do you want to go to the bathroom?"
"……Um."
Akane Kirino nodded, leaned closer, and his voice was even lower.
"I'll go over now, and Zong Gu looks at the seat for me... Don't be occupied by others."
Because it is a free seat, the seats in the car do not belong to anyone. Just like a tram, whoever sits down will be his seat.
Soya and his party got on the bus at the starting station Kyoto and were still able to choose their seats freely. After getting on the bus halfway, they found that there was no empty space and could only stand all the way to the destination. This is also common.
For example, at this point, there were passengers without seats standing at the junction of the car.
Occasionally, someone would stick his head out and look into the carriage with a fierce look, trying to find the empty space.
Akane Kirino was worried that they would take away the seat, so she kept holding on.
Zong Gu looked over there and nodded again, "Then hurry up."
"Hurry up..."
She pinched his arm and stood up.
"You must keep an eye on it...or I will sit on Zong Gu's lap later."
"I will definitely watch it."
Akane Kirino left her seat and walked towards the bathroom at the front of the car. Sonoya moved to her position and occupied the empty space that could be seen from the joints of the car.
As soon as her figure disappeared, a sound suddenly came from above her head.
“I want to go to the bathroom, too…”
Zong Gu raised his head slightly and looked forward again, "Wait for her to come back."
"oh."
Hongzi responded and stared at his head for a while. After glancing, she glared at the two people beside her looking at her. She retracted her extended hand and sat down.
After a while, Akane Kirino returned here and bounced a little water stain on the remaining tips of Sonoya.
"Songgu has held my seat."
“Is this how you thank me?”
His head avoided her side, and he did not give up his seat to her, "Hongko is going to the bathroom, now it's Kirino's turn to protect her seat."
"Hey... OK!"
"I'll be back soon..."
Hongko got up and went to the bathroom. Akane Kirino sat in her seat and started chatting with Asukiri and Kyoko next to her;
When Hongzi came back, she suddenly offered to change her position with her. Akane Kirino agreed without hesitation.
“Get in.”
“…”
Zong Gu looked at her and moved to the empty seat inside.
"I didn't sit here to get close to you." Hongko came up close and whispered, "Suzuhara and Senior Sister Sugawara don't like to talk. Staying behind is too boring."
Sonogu glanced back and said, "Aren't you having a good chat now?"
"That's because Akane can talk."
"In other words, Hongzi himself doesn't want to talk to them."
Hongzi rubbed her eyes, "I'm very sleepy..."
"Whatever you want."
Soya straightened up and looked back at Akane Kirino with a smile on her face.
"If Kirino wants to go out to play in the afternoon when he arrives in Nagasaki, it's better to have a rest."
"I know."
Looking at Kyoko, he lowered his head and looked at Hongko who was quietly hugging her arms.
"The same to you."
"Yeah~"
......
The Shanyang Shinkansen connects Kyushu and Honshu Island, and a distance at the junction of the two islands is not above the ground.
As the train headed to the bottom of the sea and passed through the undersea tunnel in Guanmen Strait, Yuedu woke up again.
After staring at the tunnel outside for a while, he turned around.
“Where are we?”
Zong Gu raised his eyes, covered his mouth and yawned.
"seabed."
"Wow."
Straighten your legs and arms on one side, stretching your body slightly, he said, "We have left Honshu Island now."
"That's how..."
When he found a girl on his arm on his other side, Yue Duo didn't say anything, turned his head and continued to stare at the tunnel outside.
In just a moment, the train drove out of the not-so-long undersea tunnel and returned to the ground.
In front of us are staggered urban buildings, and in the distance is the blue sea and blue sky. They have already arrived on another island on the other side of the strait.
The train began to slow down, and a prompt sounded in the carriage.
"Okura Station, arrived--"
Yuedu looked at the passengers on the platform outside, "Are we here?"
“There is a last stop.”
More than twenty minutes later, the train stopped again, and Zong Gu stood up in his expectant gaze.
"I'm in Hakata, get off the bus."
He dragged his suitcase off the Shinkansen train and turned around at Hakata Station. He turned around and took them on the tram from the Kagoshima Main Line and Nagasaki Main Line.
"It will take two more hours to get to Nagasaki from here."
“…”
Yue Du was stunned.
"It takes another thirty-minute bus from the station there to the booked B&B... But Mr. Hongo, who runs the B&B, said he would drive to pick us up."
"……All right."
Starting from Hakata, crossing Saga and most of Nagasaki, and then taking the car of the homestay owner who came to pick up the people. Soya and his party finally arrived at their destination, located in the Shimahara Peninsula, southeast of Nagasaki Prefecture.
Although it is far from the main destination of this trip, Iki Island, there are many places to visit and you can pass a lot of time.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, Yunxian Mountain in the middle of the peninsula stands tall, which is an active volcano.
Bypassing the volcano, he arrived at the B&B in Shimahara City, eastern Peninsula. As soon as he got off the bus, Tsukiyu immediately squatted on the side of the road and started to retching.
He was motion sickness.
"Thank you so hard for you to persevere until you get off the bus..."
Looking back at Kawaya behind him, Soya patted his back lightly, "Although it's still embarrassing."
"The gods can't be motion sickness... Woo wow!"
After brewing for a long time, the things in the stomach finally surged up.
There was a pool of strong odor on the ground.
“…You do it yourself.”
Turning around and walking into the B&B, Zong Gu still went to the front desk to ask him for a bottle of water.
The boats were exhausted, and it was the afternoon when it was hot, and Kyoko was also a little in a bad mood and sat in the corner.
"How is Lord Yuedu?"
"It's just a little motion sickness. Apart from being embarrassed, there's no big problem."
Looking back at Hongzi and Akane Kirino who were registering information at the front desk, Soya took her hand and pinched her twice.
"Where is Kyoko."
She smiled slightly, "I'm fine."
Holding his hand and getting up, she gently broke away, pulled up the suitcase, and signaled him to look behind.
Soya turned around, Hongko at the front desk looked away, and Akane Kirino was calling him over.
