The day after the shower, the music club had lunch and took the school bus to leave Karuizawa.

With their departure, the number of tourists in Karuizawa began to decrease, and they gradually returned to the places that originally belonged to them.

The villas in the forest are closing one after another, and autumn is just around the corner in Nagano Prefecture.

On August 25th, Tetsu Watanabe and others moved chairs, pulled out the mop board, and cut their hair under the shade of a tree in front of the villa.

"Miki has never been to a beauty salon since she was a child. I have always cut her hair." Mrs. Kujo took scissors and a comb to trim the bangs of Miki Kujo who was sitting on a chair.

"This time I'm on vacation, what I admire most is Aunt Yuko's cooking skills, and now also your hairdressing talent." Watanabe Toru sat upside down on a chair with a backrest.

"I have noticed before that Watanabe-kun seems to be particularly good at talking about love?" Mrs. Kujo asked everyone.

"I don't know how many girls I've deceived." Yuko Kiyono raised her head from a hair magazine and glanced at Toru Watanabe with a smile.

"Is that so?" Miki Kujo didn't move her head, looking at Toru Watanabe with her beautiful eyes.

"Of course not, you are my first love." Toru Watanabe said, "And they were not words of love just now, they were words of praise."

"Look!" Mrs. Qingye said as if she had discovered something. "Not only can she talk about love, but she is also very good at making excuses. No wonder she can attack several girls at the same time."

Ever since the shower, Mrs. Kiyono has been making things difficult for Toru Watanabe like this.

In the hammock between the chestnut trees, Rin Kiyono was not reading a book, she was listening to music with headphones on.

"Aunt Yuko, please don't accuse me wrongly." Toru Watanabe explained, "My first kiss was with Miki, and the first time was also Miki. The only girl I have ever pursued is Miki."

"Where are your two lovers?" Mrs. Qingye did not intend to let Tetsu Tanabe go easily.

"That is......"

"You don't have to explain everything to others." Kujo Miki said with a smile, "Aunt Yuko, I know what's going on with him."

Kiyono Yuko flipped through the magazine with her fingers: "Miki, don't be fooled."

"Just save your time!" Kujo Maki, who was concentrating on cutting her hair, took the time to say.

"It's not a lie." Kujo Miki said happily with her red and attractive lips, "Praise and words of love are indispensable things between men and women. They make people feel happy and promote harmony."

"Of course -" she changed the subject, looked at Toru Watanabe and said, "Only for me."

"Okay!" Kujo Maki stopped cutting her hair, brushed off the broken hair for Kujo Miki, and untied the scarf.

"How's the cut going?" Mrs. Kujo asked Toru Watanabe with a hint of satisfaction.

Watanabe Toru looked at Kujo Miki and then at the large amount of hair on the ground: "Where did this haircut come from? It feels the same as before."

"This is the level." Kujo Maki smiled and admired her own daughter.

After looking at her, she suddenly said: "Look carefully, Meiji is smoother and more beautiful than before."

"My credit." Toru Watanabe laid his hands on the back of the chair and pointed to himself proudly.

"Your credit." Miki Kujo stood up and handed her right hand to Toru Watanabe, "Take it."

If there were only two people in the bedroom, she would show her beautiful legs.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward." Watanabe Toru kissed the back of her white and smooth hand.

"Okay, don't do the husband-wife cross talk show there, sit over here." Kujo Maki tapped the scissors on her comb.

Watanabe Toru stood up and sat down.

"What haircut do you want?" Kujo Maki tied a scarf on him.

"As long as it's not ugly." Watanabe Toru shook the scarf so that his legs were hidden in it.

"It's so simple. With your face, you wouldn't look ugly even if you shaved your head."

"Hey, ma'am!"

"Call my mother, your lord."

"...Should I let Mei Ji cut it for me? I belong to her, and she has a share in the beauty and ugliness. And as long as she cuts it, even if it's a bit ugly, I can't blame her."

"You mean you blame me?" Kujo Maki asked with a hint of blame.

"After all, they are mother and son, and their relationship is so good that it doesn't matter if they blame each other."

"You are the only one who can speak. Miki, give him an ugly haircut." Mrs. Kujo handed the tool to Miki Kujo.

Miki Kujo walked up to Toru Watanabe with a comb in her left hand and scissors in her right hand.

"Miki," Toru Watanabe looked at the scissors shining in the sun, "I love you."

"My dear, I love you too." Kujo Miki's smile deepened.

"Whether I look good or not, it's not just me. Do you understand, K-san? My K-san?"

"you do not believe me?"

"I believe that I am just worried about using soy sauce as stock and filling up half the bottle at once."

The two ladies laughed.

"I'll cut you to death with a knife!" Miki Kujo said sternly with a cold face.

All joking aside, when it comes to actually getting started, Kujo Miki is careful and trims her hair bit by bit.

She usually trims her bangs and hair tips occasionally, so she is not inexperienced.

Watanabe Toru sat there, looking at her serious and moving eyes, her delicate little face that was close to his own.

In my ears I could hear the chatter of the two ladies, the sound of magazine pages turning, and the treetops swaying in the wind, shining brightly.

The softness in his heart seemed to be touched, and he felt very comfortable.

After cutting Watanabe Toru's hair, it was Mrs. Kiyono's turn.

"Let's go for a walk around the area." Kujo Miki said.

"There are two more people. You will come back in an hour." Mrs. Kujo asked, "We will go to Qingtai later for coffee and lunch."

"I know." Toru Watanabe picked up the coat on the chair and put it on his wrist.

Kujo Miki naturally hooked his arm.

After leaving the villa, the two walked on a forest path full of acacias.

This path, which is written on the tourist map as "Whispering Path" and is more commonly known as "Sanatorium Path", is said to be the most suitable path for couples to walk.

And because it is full of acacias, it was loved by Hori Tatsuo, the author of "The Wind Rises", so it is also called "Acacia Path".

Unfortunately, it is August now, and the acacia flowering season has passed, so I can only hear the gurgling sound of water from the "Yazaki River" on the roadside.

It's a beautiful sunny day.

"When I get my hair cut, I feel like the summer vacation is over." Toru Watanabe looked at the broken sunlight on the path.

"If you like Karuizawa, we will come here every year in the future." After saying this, Miki Kujo asked: "How is the progress with Kiyorin Rin recently?"

"What progress?"

"You asked knowingly. With my permission, I don't believe you didn't do anything."

"I did not say."

"Didn't say?"

"To be precise, I was rejected before I even had a chance to say anything." Toru Watanabe thought of the afternoon shower.

"I thought you were so good at chasing girls," Kujo Miki laughed, "I deliberately gave you a chance, but you still failed."

"Other than you, when have I ever taken the initiative to pursue anyone? Where does this experience come from?"

"The pursuit of me at the beginning was also a false pursuit." Miki Kujo said bitterly, letting go of the hand holding Toru Watanabe's wrist, "From now on, you will pursue me again sincerely."

"The weather is nice today." Toru Watanabe said.

"Yeah." Kujo Miki crossed her arms and responded casually.

"Miss Kujo, if you are free, would you like to go for a walk together?"

"No time."

"Then let's go to Qingtai for coffee later?"

"I won't be free for a while."

"Isn't the difficulty of your strategy too high?" Toru Watanabe said with a smile.

"Do you think this lady is a woman who couldn't walk when she saw your appearance and took the initiative to throw herself into your arms?" Kujo Miki raised her chin contemptuously, "If I hadn't kissed you at Ochanomizu, you wouldn't have done it at all.

Chance."

Watanabe Toru thought about the 200,000 points awarded by the system after dating Miki Kujo.

"I earned it." He nodded and admitted.

"Idiot." Miki Kujo smiled, "Don't you think about it, you didn't like me at that time, but you were almost killed by me twice. How can you make money? Just be smarter."

"It's all because you are so beautiful and I love you so much. Otherwise, with my intelligence, how could I be a fool?"

"Oh, I'm tired from walking." Kujo Miki stopped and sighed.
