Chapter 228 228
"So this city is our first tourist destination? Yes, I can feel the winter vibes here." Wang Ruyue looked around the place and said. She felt excited when she thought she would spend time with Tenku in that town, but her face darkened upon remembering Setsuka, and Kaede had come with them.
It only takes them about one and a half hours to get to Hokkaido from Tokyo by plane. Initially, Setsuka and the other two girls wanted to take the train to enjoy the scenery along the way to their destination. But Tenku refused because it was inefficient and would only waste their time.
"Of course. Hokkaido is one of the best vacation destinations for winter in Japan." The one who replied to Wang Ruyue was Setsuka.
Their relationship improved after talking on the plane, but they still bickered for unknown reasons.
On the way from Tokyo to Hokkaido, Tenku felt something strange about Kaede because she always glanced at him periodically. But he pretended not to notice and didn't want to think about it too much.
Initially, Tenku wanted to finish his vacation as soon as possible. But after he thought for a while and saw the atmosphere in Hokkaido, he decided to enjoy his winter break. Tenku suddenly remembered the contents of one of the books about cultivation that he had read in the Wang family's mansion.
A practitioner has to train hard under pressure and requires plenty of resources to increase their cultivation base. But to learn a technique or a power, a cultivator had to have a great level of competence, and it was related to their state of mind.
So Tenku thought enjoying his winter vacation could make his mind calmer, fresher, and more peaceful. This will increase the level of his comprehension. That way, it will become easier for him to learn techniques or powers.
"Yeah, I could feel that after I got here. Many people want to spend their winter holidays in Hokkaido." Wang Ruyue nodded in response to Setsuka's words. Then she shifted her eyes to the group of people passing by them.
"Alright. Don't keep standing here. We need to go to the hotel to check in quickly. Moreover, you three have become the focus of the people around this place." Tenku smiled and reminded them. He felt pleased when he saw the excited faces of the three girls. Tenku thought they were happy because they would spend their vacation in Hokkaido. Unfortunately, what he thought was only half true.
Setsuka, Wang Ruyue, and Kaede looked excited and happy to spend their winter break. But it's not because they came to a beautiful tourist spot but because of the person accompanying them now.
The girls have their plans for their vacation this time. Of course, only they know about it, and the two secretly fight for a place in Tenku's heart.
Kaede had subconsciously participated in their war, but what she wanted to do wasn't as aggressive as Setsuka and Wang Ruyue. She didn't dare to get too close to Tenku as she was only her senior in high school and could also be called a friend. Her relationship with Tenku was different from Setsuka and Wang Ruyue's.
"Ah, yes. You are right." Wang Ruyue finally remembered they were still standing in front of the airport.
"Let's go now." Sesuka added. She wanted to leave that place quickly. Setsuka felt uneasy after realizing that many people were watching them.
"Yes, let's leave this place and go to the hotel we have booked." Kaede knew how her best friend felt. If Tenku didn't remind them, the three girls might still be chatting about winter vacation and not realizing that they had become the center of attention from the people around the place.
"Then let's go." Tenku nodded in response to their words. They will go to the hotel they have booked by taxi.
So the first place they will go after they arrive in Hokkaido is a hotel. Tenku and the others had to secure lodging beforehand as they would be touring Hokkaido for more than one day.
Many hotels will be completely occupied with visitors during the winter holidays. Luckily, Tenku got two rooms and quickly booked them before they departed from Tokyo. So they didn't have to worry about lodging once they arrived in Hokkaido.
It only took them less than thirty minutes to arrive at their destination. Tenku could only find three-star hotels on the outskirts of Sapporo because all the good inns in Hokkaido were occupied. Even though the location is not strategic, it looks clean and much more comfortable than a capsule hotel.
Initially, they intended to stay in hotels or traditional inns in tourist spots during their winter holidays in Hokkaido. Unfortunately, none of those places had vacant rooms. Even though some hotels had one room left, Tenku didn't book it because he couldn't sleep with the three girls.
Although Setsuka and the others didn't mind, he was worried that something bad might happen if they slept together in the same room. Thus, he decided to stay at a three-star hotel quite far from the tourist spots.
Setsuka and the other two girls didn't complain when they saw the hotel. They will agree to whatever Tenku decides as long as they can spend their winter holidays with him.
After Tenku check-in three rooms at the hotel, they decided to visit their first tourist destination. They wore thick clothes because the temperature in Hokkaido is quite low in winter.
Setsuka was the only one wearing normal clothes, as the cold temperature did not affect her. On the contrary, she felt refreshed because the element of her power was ice.
Tenku and the others decide to head to Niseko. They want to go skiing at a popular ski spot in the Hokkaido. They go to the location by taxi because it is easier and more efficient than them having to take a bus or train from their hotel.
After arriving at their destination, Tenku and the others decided to ski at Niseko Village Ski Resort. They quickly rented ski costumes and changed their clothes in the fitting room. Tenku and the three girls didn't take long to get changed and ready to go skiing.
"Why are there so many visitors at this hour? Isn't it still the first day of winter break? I thought this place would only be crowded in the afternoon." Wang Ruyue was a little surprised after seeing the scene before her.
"I also didn't expect this place to be full of visitors." Setsuka responded to her words. She had come to Niseko in the past with her family, but it wasn't as crowded as it was now.
"Yeah, you are right. Normally this place would only be bustling with visitors in the afternoon." Kaede added.
Tenku was also a bit surprised when he saw the situation in that place. He thought they could ski comfortably at Niseko Village Ski Resort if they arrived early. But he didn't expect the area to be filled with visitors at that hour.
When Tenku was looking at the scenery around him, he accidentally overheard the chatter of some visitors passing by him.
"Did you know that there is an idol shooting for her latest MV in Niseko Village Ski Resort?" a woman asked the man beside her.
"Of course, I know! She is a famous idol, and many people visit this place to see her. They come from Hokkaido, and few come from outside the region. I also heard that the idol is so pretty, and she intends to make an MV for her new song and use the beautiful scenery of Yotei mountain as the background." The man answered excitedly.
Tenku frowned after he heard their conversation. For some reason, he had a bad feeling when he heard about idols from the mouths of those two people. When Tenku tried to inspect the area with his spiritual sense, Setsuka's voice interrupted him.
"What happened?" Setsuka asked softly.
"Yes, why have you been silent?" Wang Ruyue said with concern. Kaede kept quiet and said nothing, but her eyes didn't leave Tenku.
"Ah, it's nothing. I'm just listening to the chatter of the visitors here. This place is getting busier because an idol plans to film her MV." Tenku explained what he heard to Setsuka and the others.
"An idol? Who?" Wang Ruyue looked at Tenku and asked curiously.
Even though she was very busy in Beijing due to attending school, carrying out organizational missions, Even though she was a very busy person in Beijing having to attend school, carry out organizational missions and cultivate, Wang Ruyue sometimes found time to watch entertainment shows on her smartphone to relieve her boredom.
Wang Ruyue not only watched shows from China but also from various countries, including Japan. Because of that, he knows some of the idols and artists in this country.
"I don't know. I only heard they talked about idols but didn't mention names." Tenku shook his head in response to Wang Ruyue's question.
"No wonder this place is busier than usual." Setsuka finally understood why the place was already filled with people at that hour.
"Okay. We don't need to think about that. We just need to enjoy our holiday and have fun in this place by skiing with all our hearts. You three can ski anywhere but don't go near that location." Tenku reminded the girls and pointed in a certain direction. Their purpose in coming to Hokkaido is for vacation. So they don't have to think about anything else.
"Why?" Kaede tilted her head in confusion.
"The idol shot her MV there. So that location should be much more crowded than other areas. You won't be able to enjoy skiing if you come to that place." Tenku explained.
"We understand." Setsuka and the others nodded at his words.
"Then what are you going to do?" Wang Ruyue asked.
"Of course, I'll go skiing." Tenku smiled. Then he slid across the snow on his skis and left the girls.
"Hey!"
"Wait for me!"
"Do not leave me!"
Kaede and the other two girls quickly chased after Tenku. But they were way behind him and lost him. They decide to split up to ski around the area but aim to find Tenku first. After that, they could spend some time alone with him.
Meanwhile, Tenku purposely stepped away from the three girls to check something out. Currently, he is not far from the idol's filming location. Tenku released his spiritual sense to inspect the situation in the area, especially the idol. After that, he frowned and quickly retracted his divine consciousness.
"As I thought, the idol is her." Tenku sighed after he found out that the idol was Kirika Miyazaki. He felt that this vacation was going to become even more troublesome.
