That’s right, Kurosawa Hikaru’s performance just now was clearly that of a foot fetishist, and it was purely an act.
The purpose of doing this was to make Ninomiya Chizuru feel better and stop her from dwelling on what had just happened.
When a person's dark history is discovered, he or she will feel so ashamed that he or she will not dare to face the discoverer.
The way to solve this problem is to let Ninomiya Chizuru discover that he also has a little secret that he is ashamed to let others know.
“My sacrifice was huge.”
Realizing that from today on, he would be completely labeled and branded as a foot fetishist in her eyes, Kurosawa Hikaru sighed in his heart.
This is the fact, otherwise, with his ability to lie so fluently and his unparalleled acting skills, how could his lies be so clumsy that people could see through them at a glance
And the effect of such sacrifice is also very significant.
When Ninomiya Chizuru realized that he liked her feet, she felt very subtle, a little shy, but more happy.
She did not get up and leave, or intentionally avoid it, but put her feet back into the water.
Soon, the two people's feet touched each other underwater again.
"?"
Kurosawa Hikaru looked at her in some surprise, because her behavior was very proactive, her soft and elastic forefoot gently stepped on the instep of his foot.
I have to say, this kind of contact is wonderful... It feels completely different from holding hands, especially in this situation, it is given more meaning.
Thinking of the meaning of her action, Kurosawa Hikaru's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
You know, Miss Ninomiya is a relatively introverted person and likes to hide her true emotions. It is very difficult to get her to take the initiative.
Even when we were alone and no one else could see, simply allowing him to hold my hand was the maximum I could do.
But this time, she took the initiative, which was extremely rare.
"Kurosawa, what's the story behind this Asura Valley?"
Being looked at by his astonished and delighted eyes, Ninomiya Chizuru found that the effect was so good that she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She pretended not to notice what happened underwater, fixed her bangs with her hands, and asked.
"From the guides I found, there doesn't seem to be any special story..."
Kurosawa Hikaru's heartbeat quickened a little. He really enjoyed the little interaction underwater and responded when he heard it.
Indeed, Asi Valley is one of Japan's natural wonders, and for many travelers, it is one of the must-see attractions in their lifetime. But he searched and searched, but could not find any stories.
“What if there’s a story?”
Ninomiya Chizuru lowered her head to look at the four legs folded together in the clear, bright and beautiful stream, then raised her head and asked.
"Is there a story? I just didn't find it."
Kurosawa Mitsuru was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he realized that this was indeed not the case.
In fact, he also hoped that there was some story here so that he could tell Miss Ninomiya as a little knowledge.
But no matter how much he searched, he couldn't find any allusion, and he couldn't even find out why this valley was called Asi Valley.
"Really?"
Seeing that he still hadn't reacted, Ninomiya Chizuru stopped staring at him, withdrew her gaze, and the hope in her eyes faded away.
“Do you know what the story is here?”
Kurosawa Hikaru was a little surprised when he saw her reaction and asked immediately.
Could it be that she knew some story behind this valley
That doesn't make sense, as her performance clearly indicated that this was the first time she had heard of this place.
"Would you like to guess?"
Ninomiya Chizuru thought about it, but still didn't give up. She stepped hard on his instep with her feet under the water and made a suggestion.
After being stepped on by her, Kurosawa Hikaru finally looked at the stream in front of him.
Under the water, their feet were placed together. Although it was not a handshake, it was a very special experience.
"Ah, I suddenly remembered that there is indeed a story here." Seeing this scene, Kurosawa Mitsuru was stunned for a moment, then he reacted.
"What's the story?"
When Ninomiya Chizuru heard this, she felt a little excited.
“A long, long time ago, this place wasn’t Nagano Prefecture, and it wasn’t called Asera Valley.”
Kurosawa Hikaru did not reveal the answer to the mystery. He met her expectant gaze, thought for a while, and then began to narrate:
"One day, a handsome, elegant, talented, and extremely handsome woodcutter came to this valley to cut wood."
"How can a woodcutter be so talented?" Ninomiya Chizuru complained.
Kurosawa Hikaru chuckled and didn't care, but continued to tell the story:
"The woodcutter walked along the steep mountain road and came to the stream. He took the axe from his waist and planned to chop down trees to use as firewood.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The woodcutter was very strong and started to chop the tree wildly.
But at this moment, a blue-haired beauty wearing a blue dress, 1.7 meters tall, with a graceful figure, snow-white skin, a face like a fairy, beautiful eyes that seemed to carry an ocean, wearing frameless glasses, and a cool temperament ran out. "
"How come there were glasses in ancient times?" Seeing that he was staring at her while describing, Ninomiya Chizuru suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Kurosawa Hikaru glanced at her and continued:
"The blue-haired beauty ran out, stood in front of the tree, opened her arms and said, 'Don't cut it down.'
The woodcutter saw her blocking the tree, so he stopped chopping the tree. He looked at her in confusion and asked, "Why don't you chop it?"
'If you cut down this tree, you'll cut down the second tree, and so on, and then I... then the stream will die.'
It was amazing that the blue-haired beauty turned out to be a fairy transformed from the stream. She almost let the cat out of the bag, but fortunately she reacted in time and did not expose her identity.
"If I don't cut down trees and sell the wood for money, I will die, I will starve to death." The woodcutter was speechless when he heard this.
"Can't you just not cut down the tree? Or go somewhere else to cut down the tree." The stream fairy saw that he was very fierce and begged.
"I've come here, why would I go somewhere else? Do I have nothing to do?" The woodcutter saw her pitiful appearance and did not soften his heart.
"You can't cut down the trees here anyway." Seeing that he couldn't get away with soft tactics, the stream fairy decided to use force and shouted.
"How about this, you are so beautiful, be my wife, and I will go to another place to cut trees." After being coaxed by her, the woodcutter realized that she was anxious, so he told her what he was thinking.
It turned out that the woodcutter had known for a long time that she was a fairy transformed from the stream. He had seen her stopping people from cutting down trees before, and this time he came to ask her to be his wife.
"Ah? Be your wife?" When the Stream Fairy heard this request, she was immediately at a loss.
"Will you be my wife? Otherwise I will continue chopping." The woodcutter saw that she was hesitating and immediately raised his axe to threaten her.
"You are so bad." Hearing this, Ninomiya Chizuru couldn't help but say.
"It was the woodcutter who was bad, not me... Guess whether the stream fairy agreed to this request?"
Kurosawa Hikaru noticed that she was very immersed in the role, smiled and said.
"I don't guess."
Ninomiya Chizuru rolled her eyes at him. This guy was so mean. He could have made up a better story, but the result was like this.
Even if she didn't guess, Kurosawa Hikaru had finished the story by telling this:
"After a series of setbacks, the stream fairy agreed to marry him... Later, the woodcutter and she worked together to protect the stream, forever and ever. So until now, the Asi Valley has maintained its original ecological appearance and has not been destroyed by anyone."
"Who promised?"
When Ninomiya Chizuru heard this, her heart beat a little faster and she turned her head away and snorted.
"The stream fairy agreed."
Seeing her tsundere reaction, Kurosawa Hikaru smiled wickedly and said.
Obviously, because of the description of her appearance just now, she completely immersed herself in the role of the stream fairy.
"She didn't agree. What kind of story is this?"
Ninomiya Chizuru was a little unhappy. Things could have been better... He actually used an axe and force to force someone to marry him. This guy was too mean.
“This is our story.”
Having said that, Kurosawa Hikaru also revealed his cards.
That’s right, even if Asi Valley had no stories before, from today on, it has their stories.
“…” Ninomiya Chizuru glanced at him and wanted to continue denying it, but because of the name of the story, she couldn’t say it.
Although the process was not very satisfactory, the result was still quite happy and satisfactory.
Although this was true, she felt a little angry when she thought that the woodcutter actually threatened the stream fairy with an axe.
"This guy is so bad!" Ninomiya Chizuru looked at Kurosawa Mitsuru's evil smile and became angrier and angrier. She stepped hard on him with her foot under the water to vent her anger.
But for Kurosawa Mitsuru, this kick didn't hurt at all, because the force would be buffered and weakened underwater. It was more of a reward than a punishment.
This is a long story to tell. During the process, although the two people were sitting on the stone together, they seemed to be keeping a certain distance.
But under the water, their feet were always stuck together, and no matter how fast the stream flowed, it could not separate them.
"Kurosawa, isn't it time for you to do some sketching?" Ninomiya Chizuru decided to change her mood and spoke.
Although you can soak it for a while longer, it will easily form wrinkles after a long time, which will not look good.
"Yes, it's time to paint. Let's go."
When Kurosawa Mitsuru heard this, he also nodded.
The task of soaking feet together has been completed in the process of making up the story just now.
Next, just draw a portrait and today's date mission is complete.
By then, they can play as they please.
Ninomiya Chizuru pulled her feet out of the water, took a look and saw that there were no wrinkles, which made her feel relieved.
"Be careful."
As she stepped on the rock with her bare feet and tried to stand up, Kurosawa Hikaru moved faster and had already stood up completely and was holding her arm.
"Thanks."
Ninomiya Chizuru, who was originally a little sulky, felt better immediately when she saw that he was not as brutal and violent as the woodcutter in the story, but was instead careful and considerate, and she nodded.
If you think about it carefully, there is no need for her to be angry about the story, because the woodcutter is the woodcutter, Kurosawa is Kurosawa, and she is not a stream fairy.
Then, the two men walked down the rock and started to do today's business.
This trip to Asi Valley is not just for fun, but also for sketching and painting.
