Swastika Valley.

The setting sun was almost touching the mountaintop. It was already autumn, and having missed the midday heat, the weather was gradually cooling down in the afternoon, especially in the mountains.

The scenery of half the mountain being dark green and the other half yellow gives people a different feeling at this time of year.

There's a sense of summer vitality mixed with impending decay. If we wait another month or so, the mountains will surely look completely different when they're all withered and yellow.

At this moment, atop a high peak, Tantai Ye's figure appeared at the top of a pine tree.

He stopped specifically to admire the scenery; the untouched mountains and forests had a unique charm.

Looking at the distant mountain peaks, beyond that mountain lies a wide valley, which is Koga's Manji Valley.

After greeting Hoshimi Miyabi and Arisa, Tantai Ye came directly here. Just as he said, he had seen Iga, so there was no reason not to see Koga, which was on par with it!

Their figures rose with the wind, following the mountain mists and clouds, enjoying the scenery as they headed towards the mountain peaks ahead.

Upon reaching the mountain peak we had just arrived at, we could already see the valley below in the distance, as well as farmland scattered across the open area.

Tantai Ye nodded and was about to slip down when she inadvertently noticed steam rising from a depression halfway up the mountain.

“Natural hot spring!”

Tantai Ye moved and appeared on a large rock. In front of him was a large pool of water, at least fifty square meters in size, which was now emitting wisps of steam.

It really is a hot spring location.

Surrounded by pine forests and blocked by rocks... in such a setting, it would be a shame not to take a soak.

Tantai Ye chuckled, and with a thought, his clothes vanished instantly, and he slowly sank into the hot spring.

The pool was surprisingly calm, with the deepest part less than two meters and the shallowest part only one meter. The spring was located under a large, recessed rock near the mountain.

Tantai Ye leaned against a rock in the pool, sitting on a stone in the water with only her head sticking out.

"Phew~~~~~ That feels so good!!!" Tantai Ye let out a long breath, and a line of water was blown out of the water in front of her. The breath rushed out of the pool and swept the pine forest not far away, making a rustling sound.

A towel appeared in Tantai Ye's hand. After wetting it in the hot spring water, he covered his face with it and leaned back like that.

The sun slowly sank in the west, until it turned orange-red on the horizon, making its final struggle before sunset.

A faint rustling sound came from the pine forest.

Tantai Ye's ears twitched, but she didn't move.

A moment later, the sound grew louder, and from the pine forest on the other side of the rocks in the water, a figure dressed in a light purple kimono slowly emerged.

She was a woman with long black hair. Part of her hair was simply tied up in a bun at the back of her head with a few hairpins inserted; the other part was loose and draped over her shoulders, with a few messy strands of hair in front of her forehead. Instead of looking dejected, she had a kind of lazy beauty.

As she walked, a strand of hair fell from her ear, brushing against her porcelain-white cheeks and gracefully curved jawline. Her lips were as moist as cherries, her nose was delicate and upturned, and her eyes, like pools of autumn water, were hidden behind the strands of hair hanging down her forehead. Only the beauty mark under her right eye was very noticeable.

What an absolutely stunning woman!

Although Tantai Ye did not set off, his mind had already seen through the woman who came over.

Undeniably, this woman was the most beautiful he had ever seen since he came into this world.

At this moment, the woman went to the hot spring on her own and immediately began to undress without any delay.

The woman unfastened her kimono, revealing her flawless body, placed the garment on a nearby rock, and carefully descended into the hot spring.

Well! This person is also here to soak in the hot springs, but the hot springs are located halfway up the mountain, which is quite remote. I wonder how they found out about it.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If I stay here long enough, I'll probably find out!

However, there is one thing right now: should Tantai Ye get up and greet him? Although he arrived first, it would be very awkward if they bumped into each other without greeting him first.

Another question is, if I get up now to greet them, is it a bit late? Will they think I'm doing this on purpose, waiting for them to take off their clothes before I speak?

Of course, Tantai Ye didn't care about any of this. If he wanted to, he could sit face-to-face with a woman and she wouldn't even notice him.

So, Tantai Ye didn't even twitch a finger.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the rock, after entering the water, the woman first squatted in the water and gently splashed water on her body. The area near the shore was not deep. After squatting for a while, the woman moved to the deeper part.

We slowly made our way to the rock in the middle...

Tantai Ye leaned against the other side of the rock, a white towel covering her face, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

This is really interesting. In the deep forest, at a deserted hot spring, they actually met naked. Could this be considered a stroke of good luck in love?

At this moment, the woman was already sitting in the water on the other side of the rock. The two of them were soaking in the hot spring in silence, with a rock less than a meter apart between them.

However, the woman seemed to be in a good mood, humming some tunes from time to time, accompanied by the sound of running water, as if she was washing her body while soaking.

After a short while, the woman calmed down, and the ripples in the water slowly stopped, as if she was focused on experiencing the comfort and relaxation brought by the hot spring.

Just as all was quiet, a whooshing sound came from the woods. Judging from the sound, someone was moving quickly by using the tree trunks, and the direction was right here.

At this moment, Tantai Ye did not move, but the woman on the other side suddenly sat up straight. After confirming the sound, she hurriedly moved towards the rock, trying to avoid being seen directly.

Just as the woman turned around, she was surprised to see Tantai Ye leaning against the water.

Just as the woman was about to jump away, she found that the other party raised his hand and beckoned her. Her body instantly stiffened, as if she was fixed in the air, and then she was pulled into the man's arms.

"Shh! Don't make a sound, or the people coming will find us. We're not exactly presentable in this state," Tantai Ye whispered in the woman's ear, his face covered by a towel.

At this moment, although a blush appeared on the woman's face, her eyes were filled with extreme fear, even a hint of terror.

She didn't understand what methods the other party had used to make her unable to move even a finger, let alone open her mouth.

At that moment, Tantai Ye remembered something, and with a thought, the clothes the woman had placed by the pool disappeared instantly. Just then, a fat, ball-shaped figure landed by the pine forest.

"Huh! Nobody's here. Weren't we supposed to be soaking in the hot springs?" came the puzzled voice of the newcomer.

The woman overhearing this was also getting anxious.

"It's Udono Josuke... I'm here... behind the rock!"

The woman cried out in her heart, but her mouth wouldn't move; she could only express her anxiety through her eyes.

The figure approaching the pool turned and looked around, but found nothing. The hot spring water was calm, with rising steam.

A moment later, Udono Josuke muttered something under his breath, then leaped into the forest and quickly disappeared from sight.
