After sitting in the campsite for an hour or two, Kiritani Tetsuya and Utsunomiya Miu reluctantly stood up from the spread tablecloth and returned to the place where they had set up their tents for the past two days, preparing to pack their tents.

After packing our camping stuff, we headed back to Hakone.

According to the travel arrangements previously announced by Minister Hanada, they will get on the express bus back to Shinjuku, Tokyo around lunch time. Therefore, if they do not leave, they may really miss the bus that will arrive soon.

After a while, the two of them left the camping area by Lake Kawaguchi with a backpack full of them and started heading down the mountain to the bus stop.

On the way to the bus stop, Utsunomiya Miu, who was holding the shoulder straps of her backpack with both hands, suddenly asked.

"Speaking of Zheya, how is your relationship with Xiao Yuxu?"

"Why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Kiritani Tetsuya asked curiously.

"I just suddenly wanted to ask."

Utsunomiya Miu replied casually, but after thinking for a while, she slowly added.

"Tetsuya, actually I went to Xiao Yuxu's room the night before yesterday."

"Oh, is it so."

Kiritani Tetsuya replied calmly.

Regarding this matter, he had already heard Ibuki Tamao mention it yesterday morning.

"At that time, I originally wanted to tell Xiao Yuxu about the two of us, but due to some special reasons, I failed to explain these things clearly to her."

Seeing Kiritani Tetsuya's too bland answer and reaction, Utsunomiya Miu didn't pay too much attention and continued.

"So now Ibuki-san knows what happened between us?"

"I guess I don't know yet, but that's not the point I want to say now."

Utsunomiya Miu shook her head slightly, and then said with a solemn expression.

"Then what do you want to say now?"

It seemed that he was a little confused about the serious face that Utsunomiya Miu put on at this moment, and Kiritani Tetsuya's curiosity became more and more intense.

"Although I don't know if it's useful to talk about this with Tetsuya, but I found that Tamao-chan seems to have someone he likes recently." Utsunomiya Miu replied the next moment.

"?"

Hearing Utsunomiya Miu say these words, Kiritani Tetsuya's always calm expression showed a slight fluctuation.

After a few seconds of silence, Kiritani Tetsuya pretended to be a little disbelieving and said: "Really, but I don't think it should be possible. After all, Ibuki-san doesn't look like he will fall in love with others easily."

"I thought so before coming here, but judging from Xiao Yuxu's behavior that night, she definitely has a human she likes here."

After hearing Kiritani Tetsuya's rebuttal, Utsunomiya Miu's expression on her pretty face became more determined, and she also explained to Kiritani Tetsuya.

Speaking of the latter, even Utsunomiya Miu told Kiritani Tetsuya everything about the Lotte Spring.

Although Kiritani Tetsuya had already heard these things from Ibuki Tamao.

"Only when there is someone you like in your heart, Loaite's Fountain will work on the gods. If Xiao Yuxu didn't have someone he liked in his heart, there was no reason why I would have seen that strange look from her that night.

Just like..."

Utsunomiya Miu said with conviction based on what she saw that day, but she suddenly stopped talking as she spoke, and at this time, a trace of undetectable blush appeared on both sides of her cheeks.

"Just what?" Tetsuya Kiritani asked after taking over what the other party said.

"Just like me in Tetsuya's room that day."

Utsunomiya Miu lowered her voice obviously.

Of course, the girl quickly returned to her normal demeanor a few seconds ago.

"In short, I think my guess is probably correct. The key is who Xiao Yuxu likes. This is worthy of my investigation in the future."

Utsunomiya Miu then said seriously. Judging from the girl's expression and tone, she seemed to be very concerned about this matter.

"Is there a possibility that Ibuki-san already has someone he likes before he came here?"

Kiritani Tetsuya, who didn't want Utsunomiya Miu to focus on this, still struggled with some unwillingness to give up.

"As far as I know, Xiao Yuxu didn't have anyone he liked when he was living in the temple. I think this guess can be ruled out."

Utsunomiya Miu shook her head decisively and objected. After speaking, she turned to look at Kiritani Tetsuya.

"By the way Tetsuya, aren't you in the same class as Xiao Yuxu? Do you know there is a boy she likes in the class?"

"I'm not sure about that, I guess there isn't one."

Kiritani Tetsuya scratched the back of his head and said with a little embarrassment.

"Forget it, I'll go find it myself."

Seeing Kiritani Tetsuya acting completely unaware of this, Utsunomiya Miu sighed slightly and responded with a disappointed tone.

"Although I think she wouldn't tell me even if I asked her."

The girl then added in a sigh.

At this time, the two of them were already carrying a large bag of camping equipment and arrived at the bus stop near Lake Kawaguchi, and happened to catch a bus that was about to leave.

Just after twelve o'clock, Kiritani Tetsuya and Utsunomiya Miu returned to the hotel in Hakone Town after a night of camping.

After returning the camping equipment at the front desk of the hotel, the two said a few brief goodbyes in the corridor, then returned to their rooms with their belongings.

After staying in the mountains all night, the first thing Kiritani Tetsuya did after returning to his room was to go to the bathroom and take a comfortable hot bath to wash away the sweat stains left on his body in the past two days.

After walking out of the shower, Kiritani Tetsuya started to pack his luggage.

But when he was halfway packing his luggage, there was a slight knock at the door.

Kiritani Tetsuya opened it and found Ibuki Tamao standing at the door.

"Why did Ibuki-san come here suddenly?"

Seeing the pretty girl Utsunomiya Miu had been talking about not long ago standing outside the room door, Kiritani Tetsuya subconsciously asked.

"Mr. Hanada asked me to come over and inform Kiritani-san that the bus back to Tokyo will be here soon."

Ibuki Tamao replied without any fluctuation in her tone. As she spoke, she poked her pretty head out from time to time and looked into Kiritani Tetsuya's room.

"That's it. I've almost finished packing here. I'll call Miu later and let's go there together."

"Miu?"

Ibuki Tamao seemed to have grasped the key point of this sentence, and couldn't help but repeat these two words on his lips.

"What's wrong? In fact, I've been calling her that all this time."

Kiritani Tetsuya looked at the girl in front of him strangely and asked.

"So that's it."

Ibuki Tamao said calmly.

"Then Ibuki-kun, please come in and sit for a while. After I finish clearing these things on the table, we can set off."

"Call me Tamao." Ibuki Tamao said coldly, still standing at the door.

"Um?"

Kiritani Tetsuya's attention, which was originally focused on the suitcase, was attracted by the girl's words, and his face was not only confused but also confused.

"is it not OK?"

Ibuki Tamao asked aloud at this time.

"It's not impossible, but why do you suddenly call it that?"

"I hope Kiritani-san can call me that."

Ibuki Tamao replied simply, her face as calm as water, showing no emotion or sorrow as usual.

"Okay, Yuxu, you can come in and sit for a while."
