Nearly an hour and a half passed quickly after changing trains at Shinjuku Station and boarding the Romancecar, a limited express train, and we arrived at our destination, Hakone-Yumoto Station.
“We finally arrived.”
“It’s already dark outside, so what are your plans for the rest of the day?”
“Let’s have dinner for now, I’ve already decided on a restaurant.”
When I saw Kano san saying that while looking at her smartphone screen, I felt a strange feeling.
“Ah, maybe Yuito thought I wasn’t planning anything?”
“How did you know !?”
“It’s obvious because you have that written all over your face. Have you forgotten that your big sister has always had a plan?”
“I don’t think you have even the slightest bit of planning when you come to Hakone on a short trip because of your sudden idea.”
“Geez, you promised me you wouldn’t go into that.”
With this conversation going on, Kano san led the way to the restaurant. We arrived at a soba restaurant. It was dinner time, so the restaurant was quite crowded.
“I ate pizza and fries while doing karaoke for lunch, so the refreshing soba noodles were perfect.”
“Yeah, and I heard that soba is the specialty of Hakone.”
“Is that so?”
I said this because I had no idea that soba was a specialty of Hakone. I knew that hot springs were famous, but I had no idea about soba, so this was surprising.
“Hakone is not a buckwheat producing area like Nagano Prefecture, but the water is delicious, so soba shops flocked there in search of Hakone’s famous water, and it became a specialty.”
“I didn’t realize there was such a historical background.”
“I’ve read a lot of reviews about how good the soba here is, so I think you can count on it.”
“Now I’m starting to look forward to it.”
We had a hard time deciding what to order, but in the end we both ordered Zaru-soba. We chose zaru-soba because it looked the most delicious. The zaru-soba arrived at our table a short time later, and it was so good that we finished it in an instant.
“It was delicious, wasn’t it?”
“You’re right, I don’t think I’ve ever had soba this good before.”
It was so delicious that I was impressed. As I was beginning to think about getting some soba as a souvenir, Kano san opened her mouth.
“Then let’s move on to where we’ll be staying today.”
“Aren’t we going to do some sightseeing?”
“I’m planning to go sightseeing tomorrow, I want to take it easy today.”
“Indeed, we’ve been playing since early afternoon.”
I also had Saturday classes in the morning and then went to Phase One for karaoke and bowling, so I was pretty tired.
“We’re staying at a hotel today.”
“When did you make a hotel reservation?”
“I actually made the reservation right after bowling, because now you can make a reservation right away from the website.”
“I didn’t realize you could make same-day hotel reservations.”
She must have been very lucky as it did seem like every hotel had a full room on a Saturday night like today.
“Yeah, it’s a hotel with a [love] sign, so there’s plenty of room even on that very day.”
“Eh !?”
No matter how you think about it, that’s not a good idea. If it were found out that she stayed at a love hotel with me, a high school student, Kano san might be arrested for violating the Youth Protection and Development Ordinance. When I was upset, Kano san had a smile on her face.
“Well, of course that’s a lie.”
“……You made fun of me.”
“Thanks for the nice reaction.”
It seems I’ve been played by Kano san. I’m relieved for the moment, but don’t tell anyone that somewhere deep down I was disappointed.
“But I’m not lying about staying at a hotel, so of course it’s a normal, decent place.”
“Really?”
Kano san showed me the screen of her phone, which displayed a normal hotel. Moreover, it’s stylish and seems to be of a very high grade.
“I know this place sounds pretty expensive, but are you sure you can afford it?”
“Don’t worry, there’s no problem at all.”
“No, no, no, I can’t be relieved. I probably can’t pay half of the expenses immediately with only my allowance.”
I don’t have a part-time job and my only source of income is my allowance, so I don’t think I can pay it back for a while. If I’m not careful, I’ll be in debt for a year.
“I’ll pay for the entire hotel bill, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
“But that’s……”
“By the way, I think a hotel with a love service will cost more than half the price, so would you like that?”
“……Let’s go to a regular hotel.”
I was silent for a while, but I didn’t have the courage to choose a love hotel. Then, when Kano san heard my words, she looked bored.
“You’re still a wuss after all.”
“I didn’t want to see Kano san die socially, so I’ll just choose a regular hotel.”
I tried to give an excuse to Kano san, who kept staring at me, but it didn’t seem like she would quit. What the hell did I do?
In fact, I think I’m the one who saved her from social death. In the end, Kano san didn’t quit staring until we arrived at the hotel.
