The first floor of the hotel is the lobby, hot spring bathhouse and other places, the second floor is the restaurant, and the third to seventh floors are the accommodation rooms.
The rooms for first-year boys are concentrated on the fourth floor, while the rooms for girls are on the fifth floor.
Taking the key, Naruse walked along the corridor and stopped at the door of room 408.
Opening the door, the boys following behind him eagerly squeezed into the room and cheered inexplicably.
"It's a little bigger than I expected...well, although some places look a little old."
"How should I put it? It feels like the bubble economy era...it feels very contemporary."
"Oh, you can see the ski slopes from the window!"
Naruse put down his luggage and returned to the door, confirming the members of the group with Yuki Nakahara who came over to check.
"Naruse, Kamoi, Tanaka, Kobayashi, Tsuchikawa, and Ito..."
She glanced at the boys in the room to make sure there was no problem, and then explained.
"Don't run around. Meet in the lobby later and go to the ski resort with everyone."
The only person who answered her was Naruse, "Okay."
After sending off the teacher and closing the door, Naruse also came to the window and took a look, overlooking the ski resort management center not far away and the long and spacious ski slopes.
Compared with the more famous Hakkoda Ski Resort, Spring Ski Resort has a somewhat more satisfactory feel, and there is a three-kilometer-long stable ski trail, which is more suitable for beginners.
"Naruse, where do you want to sleep?" Kobayashi asked.
"Whatever."
Before the bedding was laid out, the boys assigned their respective positions, then sat on the floor and discussed their next plan.
"Of course I'll ski first... By the way, is it okay for Naruse to ski?"
"No problem, I learned to ski when I was in elementary school, right here."
"OK, let's ski together. I want to challenge that slope route that is said to be 30 degrees."
"Okay." Naruse hadn't skied in a while and was eager to try. "When it's time to move around freely, let's go together."
After a while, the students in Class C went downstairs to gather in the lobby, and then went to the nearby ski resort together.
"Is it okay?" Naruse slowed down and waited for Takigawa Hikaru and Shoko to catch up.
"Me? No problem."
Hikari Takigawa smiled at him and said, "I feel like I'm in high spirits as soon as I get to the ski resort."
"You guys should skate here at the beginner level first, and then go to other places after you become proficient." Naruse said, "Help me take care of Naoko."
Naoko smiled. She can ski, but only to the extent that she can.
Takigawa Hikaru raised his hand and saluted, "Leave it to me."
When we arrived at the ski resort, there were no tourists in the hotel, and the same was true here. Almost all of them were students from Tsugao.
After explaining Hikaru Takigawa, Naruse followed his teammates in the group and lined up to receive the ski suit from the teacher.
——A set of ski clothing, as well as ski equipment including skis, ski poles and ski boots.
Xiao Lin was shaking off his ski clothes and looking up and down.
"Wow, the ski clothes here also have a sense of the times... Do people in the bubble economy era like this kind of color matching?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tanaka Koji shook his head, "How can ski clothes from more than thirty years ago be used today."
"Well, such an ugly color combination can only be designed by modern people who have been in a state of depression after the bubble economy era."
"Okay, okay, hurry up and change..."
After changing into ski clothes, they also had to hang a number plate on their chest with a pin to identify the class. Naturally, what Naruse and the others got was [1-C].
Putting on ski hats, goggles, and ski boots, the students in Class C gathered together and lined up to enter the ski resort with their skis in hand.
Each class is assigned a ski instructor to provide guidance. Regardless of whether you know how to ski or not, you have to receive instruction at the junior course on the morning of the first day.
The ski instructor of Class C is a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses, with a rough face but an unexpectedly gentle voice.
"Hello, classmates of Class C, I am..."
Listening to the coach's introduction, Naruse heard Ryohei Kamoi next to him ask in a low voice, "Is there anyone who doesn't know how to ski?"
"Who knows." Itoxiong said.
"I can only skate at the junior court in the morning..."
"It's better to get familiar with it first."
The ski slopes at the beginner course are wide, long and gentle, making them extremely friendly to novices and suitable for seasoned skiers who are already a little rusty to get their feet wet.
After the coach's introduction, it was finally time for group practice.
Putting on a ski on one foot, Naruse practiced for a while and quickly found the feeling. Then he put on the other ski and practiced straight skating, turning and speed skating.
The boys in the same group were all not beginners, and they quickly started gliding smoothly on the snow track.
"I really want to go to a high-level course... Intermediate courses are fine too, but this kind of gentle slope is too boring. What do you think, Naruse?"
"Just stay here honestly. Excluding this morning, there are still a day and a half, and you will slip up until you feel like vomiting."
"That's what I say... I want to go over and take a look first."
"Work in a group, don't run around."
After skating twice, Naruse returned to the area where Class C students were concentrated, searched for a while, and soon saw Naoko who was still listening carefully next to the ski instructor.
Most of the people around there are girls.
He slid over and stopped beside her, "Aren't you confident?"
Shangzi turned around and smiled at him, "The last time I went skiing was the year before last..."
Naruse bent down and removed the skis from his feet, "I'll teach you."
She arched her eyebrows and shook her head, "No need, Chunhai can go play by himself."
He ignored it, looked around, raised his hand and pointed, "Let's go practice over there."
Shangzi laughed, then picked up his skis and followed him.
"Where's the light?"
"Guang is very good at skiing, so let's go practice on the slopes first."
Naruse searched for it for a while, but found nothing, so he ignored it.
When he got there, he said: "Let's start with one foot first."
"Yeah."
Naoko bent down and put a ski on one foot.
The two practiced step by step. Shangzi had a good foundation and quickly picked up the skiing skills he had mastered before.
After more than ten minutes, feeling that he was almost done practicing, Naruse pointed to somewhere not far away.
"Just go to...well...just go to the protective net over there and slide over together."
"Okay."
The two set off one after the other, and soon became parallel, sliding together toward the snow track protection net dozens of meters away.
Not far away, several figures slowly slid together, stopped, and looked at the two people whose movements were almost completely synchronized.
"Didn't you say 'group action'? How come that guy Naruse was skating and skating together with the girl..."
"This is probably not his problem."
"What do you mean...Hey, what do you mean by suddenly tapping me on the shoulder?"
