William Drake made it easy. In fact, they had just narrowly avoided the landslide, and the road behind them was almost completely covered with gravel and mud.
Upon seeing this, Haneda Yasuharu quickly calmed down and decided: "The communication in the mountains is not good. Let's go there first and then find a way to notify the road administration."
"yes."
In just half the journey, William Drake had already seen that Papert cared about Haneda and his wife, so he naturally obeyed Yasuharu Haneda's order.
The location of the landslide was not too far from the villa. Half an hour later, they finally arrived at the destination of their trip, the Hakone Villa.
The Haneda family has many properties and has a specialized company to help manage them, including this villa.
Haneda Yasuharu contacted the management company in advance. At this time, the staff who took care of the villa were standing at the door to greet the Haneda family.
The leader was an old man in his sixties, wearing a gray suit. He knew Haneda Yasuharu. He came forward with a smile and said hello: "Mr. Kangqing, long time no see, you are still charming."
"You are an old man, where does your style come from?" Yasuharu Haneda said self-deprecating words, but with a smile on his face, "I have to thank you for helping me take care of my real estate."
"It's your duty. The room has been tidied up. The hot spring water was put in this morning and the temperature is just right."
Haneda Yasuharu reached out to Ikue and introduced: "This is my son Danya, and his girlfriend Miyamoto Yumi."
"Good day, Master Tanya, Miss Yumi. I am Mr. Yasu Qing's real estate housekeeper Kinoshita Hiroyuki."
"Hello." Yumi Miyamoto looked curiously at the unique house in front of her.
It's like a hot spring hotel. Is this actually a private residence?
The Haneda family is really rich.
In addition to the housekeeper Hiroyuki Kinoshita, there are also a maid Ayano Imada, a gardener Sato Ryuji, and a chef Tatsuie Tsuguko who work at the Hakone Villa.
"The hot spring water has been put away. Do you want to have dinner first or take a bath in the hot spring first?" Haneda Ichiyo asked gently.
Haneda Yasuharu has told Hiroyuki Kinoshita about the situation encountered on the road and asked him to contact the road administration.
Miyamoto Yumi poked Yu Jiang: "That..."
"Do you want to go to the hot springs?" Yujiang asked.
"May I?"
Imada Ayano said with a smile: "Of course, Hakone is a famous hot spring town. There is a spring behind the house, and taking a dip is good for the body."
"Thank you, thank you." Yumi Miyamoto thanked her solemnly.
In fact, she is not a shy girl. Her long experience in the battlefield has made her a bit carefree, and she likes to be straightforward in everything she says and does. If Miwako Sato or Naeko Miike saw Yumi Miyamoto like this, they would probably be shocked, right?
But in front of Ikue's family, Miyamoto Yumi became nervous unconsciously. She had to think twice about everything she said and did, for fear of saying something wrong or making an inappropriate move, which would ruin the Haneda family's impression of her.
Haneda Ichiro noticed her nervousness, so he took the initiative to suggest: "There are so many of us, it's not convenient to be together. Let's do it like a hot spring hotel, with men's baths and women's baths. Anyway, there are many pools."
As she spoke, she took Miyamoto Yumi's hand and said, "Yumi, come with Auntie. Auntie tells you that there are many minerals and trace elements in this hot spring water, which is very good for the skin."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. Can you touch Auntie's skin? Is it quite smooth? I go to hot springs regularly..."
Holding hands, they quickly left the hall, leaving the men where they were.
Upon seeing this, Haneda Yasuharu joked: "Your mother is really mean. It's rare for a family to go on vacation. How can we not let you two get along well?"
"Teacher..." Yu Jiang said helplessly, "I will accompany you to the hot springs."
"What do you call a family gathering teacher?"
"Yes, father."
When leaving, Yu Jiang vaguely heard someone talking behind him: "What are you doing standing around? Go to the kitchen to help. First prepare hot spring snacks for Madam and the others."
"Yes!" The slightly panicked female voice came from Imada Ayano, who seemed to have been scolded by Kinoshita's butler.
This was just a small episode during a trip to the hot springs, and almost no one cared about it at the time.
…
The so-called male and female soups are actually the same pool with nine twists and turns, separated by artificial landscaping rockeries. On one side of the mountain were Ikue and the others, on the other side were Haneda Ichiyo and Miyamoto Yumi, and the voices from both sides could be transmitted.
While soaking in the hot springs, Haneda Yasuharu also asked William Drake if he wanted to soak together, but William declined because he was worried about scaring his employer.
"In the bodyguard business, it's normal to have some scars on your body." Yasuharu Haneda invited him again and again, but William remained unmoved and just stayed by the pool, doing his best as a bodyguard.
But I heard from the girl next door that Ayano Imada, who seemed to be bringing snacks, was successfully "captured" by Haneda Ichiyo. She and Miyamoto Yumi were similar in age, and it didn't take long for them to chat together.
"It's a chestnut cake." Haneda Yasuharu turned his attention to the exquisite snacks on the plate, "I thought you would prepare your specialty cherry cake."
"Occasionally, I want you to change your taste." The speaker was chef Dajia Jigong. He was a man in his thirties, wearing an apron. He looked very honest and honest, which conformed to the public's stereotype of a chef. "And Mrs. Ichidai likes chestnut cakes very much."
"Oh? They also have chestnut cakes over there?"
"Ayano made it by herself. She said she wanted to thank Mrs. Ichidai for taking care of her."
Ikue noticed Tatsuke Tsukuru's address to Imada Ayano.
Japanese people are very formal and rarely call friends by their first names, let alone unfamiliar men and women. Since Tatsuke Tsuguko calls Imada Ayano "Ayano" instead of "Imada-san", it means that their relationship must be very close.
At least it's the kind of tame dye that we grew up with.
"Takaya and Kaneda are two children who are lovers. They should be engaged, right?" Yasuharu Haneda patted Takajiko's shoulder and explained Yujiang's doubts, "Think about it, when you first came here, you were only ten years old. Years old, it’s time to start a family in a blink of an eye.”
"Thanks to you and Mrs. Ichidai, you not only gave us the opportunity to work, but also allowed Ayano to study in college."
"Wow, Ayano-chan, did you finish college during your work-study program? That's amazing!" Miyamoto Yumi's voice passed through the rockery, as clear as if she was right next to her ears.
On the other side, Ayano Imada covered her face, feeling ashamed: "Stop talking, Miss Yumi, it is impossible for me to go to college with my own abilities...ah!"
She exclaimed, and Miyamoto Yumi quickly checked, only to find that something had cut a long gash in Imada Ayano's palm.
Miyamoto Yumi stood up and found a bush of thorns from the edge of the pool: "What sharp thorns... Such wounds must be treated as soon as possible. Do you have a medical kit? I know how to bandage it."
"No, I don't need to trouble you." Imada Ayano hurriedly came ashore and repeatedly rejected Miyamoto Yumi's kindness. "It's getting late, don't forget to take a dip and go have dinner."
"Yes." Miyamoto Yumi nodded, but her eyes moved to the thorns involuntarily.
It seems that the Haneda family has a gardener, right? How can plants be allowed to grow wildly without being pruned?
