【Quick New】In the Name of Love · In the Name of Love- XXIV

It was almost eleven o'clock when we got back to the hotel.

The two young people were still in the excitement of running out for a trip on the first day, and decided to take a hot spring by coincidence.Both of them had a fever at the same time because of this thought, but they both blamed it on the fact that the summer was too hot instead of other reasons—they both knew this was a lie, the summer night in Hakone could not be regarded as hot, It can even be said to be a bit cool, but they selectively ignore this fact, and repeatedly warn themselves not to make any decisions that they regret.

The private hot spring is not big, and it is a bit crowded for two teenagers who are in their youthful growth period, but the two of them still found a clever location where they can soak in the hot spring comfortably without having ... too much with each other physical contact.

The fog steaming on the surface of the water, the edge of the private hot spring and the ice fog sprayed from the installed cooling device made everything hazy, and everything seemed to be dyed with an illusory light. Halo, there was only quiet and dim light in the outdoor forest, which made both of them sigh involuntarily.

After a second, both of them started laughing at the same time.

"Why are you sighing, you learn from me!"

"Whoever learned from you, don't talk nonsense. Obviously you learned from me!"

"Wow, do you want to fight, Kudo Shinichi!"

"I'm not that naive—damn, actually splashing water?! You're pissing me off!"

"It's so scary—wow, it's too much, ahem! If this is the case, then I'm not welcome—"

In the end, the two actually started a water fight, the water splashed, and the water mist that was floating peacefully was also messed up. The laughter of the teenagers mixed with the noise of the water, until the two When they were a little out of breath, they withdrew their hands and leaned to one side to rest.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting, Kuroba, you are too good at fighting." Kudo leaned his head on the edge of the hot spring and took a deep breath.

"Don't mention it, Kudo, you are not far behind, but I am really exhausted."

The two fell silent for a while, then laughed at the same time.

"Hey, should we consider changing each other's address?" Kudo said nonchalantly.

Kuroba blinked.

"...You know, isn't it good to always call the other party's last name?" Kudo swallowed and explained as if nothing had happened.Fortunately, under the cover of fog, neither of them could see the other's expression clearly.

I don't know if it's because the temperature of the hot spring is too high, or if the two played together just now, Kuroba seems to be floating on the cotton now, like falling into a cloud, surrounded by an unreal feeling.He adjusted his sitting posture, but accidentally brushed the smooth skin of Kudo's calf, and he avoided it like an electric shock, the beating sound of his heart could be heard almost throughout the hotel in Kuroba's view.

His mind went blank for two seconds.

"Xinyi...?"

Kudo burst out laughing, his face flushed.

"You're good too, Kuaito."

The two fell asleep with their own thoughts.

A night without dreams.

Neither of them is a sleepy person, and they got up at [-]:[-] the next morning, ready to go out and explore Hakone.Today, the two of them plan to go to Lake Ashi, which was visited once last night, and the famous Hakone Shrine next to it and the huge torii gate standing by the lake. If there is still time, I will go to another Edo Go around the Hakone checkpoint left by the period.The itinerary is relatively loose, and there is still time to go to the night market in the evening.

When they arrived at Lake Ashi, they bought tickets for a cruise ship and enjoyed the beautiful scenery around them.The weather is also very good, and they can also see the snow-capped peak of Mount Fuji, which makes them feel a bit of coolness in such a summer.After lunch, I clocked in at the torii gate of the Hakone Shrine by Lake Ashinoko, and quickly took photos of tourists visiting here, and the two walked along the path in the forest to the Hakone Shrine.

The temperature in the mountain forest is obviously much colder than outside. There are towering trees beside the stone path, which block the sky above the head, and you can only see the blue sky through the gap, not to mention that the mountain itself is surrounded by fog. The whole environment is very mysterious and quiet.I don't know how long I walked, but the shrine finally appeared in front of my eyes.The fog has disappeared at some point, and the whole shrine is bathed in golden sunlight, red and gold complement each other, and tourists are bustling.

"Want to make a wish?" Kuroba asked Kudo next to him with his elbow.

Kudo thought for a moment.

"Let's go, let's go, we're all here, let's just make one." Without waiting for Kudo to respond, Kuroba half pushed and half pulled him into the shrine.Kudo sighed helplessly, but did not resist, and followed him into the shrine.

After the two washed their hands in the water, they entered the hall of worship.

After worshiping the gods, putting money into the cash box, and going through a series of worship procedures, the two put their hands together, closed their eyes, and began to make a wish.Probably because they all had a wish, they quickly ended the process of visiting the shrine, completed the last few steps, and then left the shrine.

On the way back, the two of them kept silent tacitly, and they didn't start talking until they left the torii gate.

"What did Shinichi promise?" Kuroba couldn't help asking.

Kudo squinted at him: "It won't work if I tell you." The expression on his face was perfect, and it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.Black Feather hummed lightly.

...How can I tell him?Kudo sighed inwardly.

The wish I made, but I hope that the other party will be happy and safe in this life, it doesn't sound right at all.Hei Yu is not stupid, telling him is no different from confessing.

After being quiet for a while, Kuroba said, "I hope my soul mate can be happy. This is my wish."

Kudo let out a dull "Oh" before saying, "Is there no hope for you two?" He didn't even know what kind of mood he was holding to say this.

Kuroba glanced at Kudo and shrugged: "That's right. But this is the past tense, and I plan to start a new chapter! You are right, fuck his fatalism."

Kudo raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth curled unobservably.

After visiting the Hakone checkpoint, Kudo and Kuroba simply walked directly to the night market.

The night market is bustling, and it just so happens that these days are summer festivals, the whole night market is very lively, there is an endless stream of travelers and locals coming and going, and young lovers pass by holding hands and laughing.Kudo moved his fingers, then realized something, and quickly put his hands in his pockets.

Don't do stupid things, Kudo Shinichi.

Kuroba Kaito also felt itchy because of this atmosphere, especially when Kudo Shinichi was beside him, this feeling was even more vigorous.Although he told Kudo Shinichi that he intends to start a new chapter, but... he needs time.If it is so easy to turn the page, then there will not be so many people in the world who are depressed because of a broken relationship, or even do unreasonable things.

The two of them chatted while strolling in the night market, and played a few small games by the way—such as shooting. Of course, the final result was that the two of them hit the bull's-eye with their guns, and almost wiped out the shop, making the boss want to cry. tears.The two looked at each other, couldn't help but started laughing, and finally declined at least half of the kindness that the boss intended to give them, and left with only a pair of hanging chains they liked.

"I didn't know you had a talent for shooting." Kudo looked at Kuroba with a half-smile.

Hei Yu thumped inwardly, screaming inwardly that something was wrong.

He collected himself and said half-jokingly, "Can't my dad take me to Hawaii for training?"

Kudo rolled his eyes and said helplessly, "Hawaii, Hawaii."

"Is it impressive?"

Kudo snorted and said, "I know Xiu."

"To each other." Hei Yu said with a smile, and then his eyes were attracted by a sugar figurine shop diagonally opposite.His eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "There is a sugar man selling it, let's take a look at Shinichi!" After speaking, he excitedly pulled Kudou's wrist and walked over.

Kudo pursed his lips, thinking bitterly that it was this trick again, but he still had no choice but to follow him as if he was unlucky.

"Two sugar figurines, thank you master!" Hei Yu said with bright eyes while lying on the glass cabinet.

The master smiled: "Okay, wait a minute, boys."

Kuroba grinned, making Kudo dizzy.

He thought, this is a little too much, this is very much.

Kuroba suddenly turned his head, and stretched out his hand to him with a smile.

Kudo looked at him in bewilderment.

"I beg the benefactor to give you some money." Hei Yu said shamelessly.

Kudo coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, took out a banknote from his bag and handed it to him, and muttered something, but Kuroba didn't hear clearly, only saw Kudo's ears were red.

...Damn it!

Hei Yu immediately turned around, closed his eyes, and said three words "calmly", before opening his eyes.

Kudo stood half a step behind Kuroba, couldn't see Kuroba's expression clearly, he could only see his cheeks smudged by the warm light and slightly red ears, he licked his lips unconsciously.

The surrounding atmosphere is very good, the light is also warm, and the surrounding people are full of voices, bustling and lively, and there is a peaceful atmosphere.Kuroba still had that messy black hair, but it was soft enough to melt his heart.Kudo thought, maybe now is a good time.

He took a deep breath.

"quick--"

Then a cloth stained with ether covered his mouth and nose without warning.

His eyes widened, his muscles tensed up, and he instinctively wanted to struggle and call for help, but it caused more ether to be inhaled.He looked at the place less than one meter away from the black feather, but it gradually became more and more blurred, and his whole body became limp and weak.

Crap, he thought, before his consciousness sank into darkness.

"Xinyi, your sugar man—"

Hei Yu turned around with a smile while holding the finished sugar figurine, and said briskly, but the voice stopped abruptly.

——The place where Kudo Shin first stopped was empty, only pedestrians were left.

Hei Yu choked for breath, and the sugar figurine in his hand fell to the ground inadvertently, and instantly fell apart.

He opened his mouth slightly, his whole body trembling slightly.

"... Shinichi?"
