📍 After almost a whole day's journey…
Kuje and Shina finally arrive at Hokkaido's Reasem Hotel. 🏨✨
The moment they step inside, Amane takes care of all their luggage, leaves it neatly in their room, and with a polite bow says:
👉 "Bye-bye, Sir… Madam."
Then he vanishes like a shadow.
Shina & Kuje look around, only to realize something shocking
they have to share the same room! 😳💢
Both of them explode in anger as if they're about to destroy the entire world 🌍💥.
And of course, all their rage turns towards one person,
👉 Shion, Kuje's grandfather, the mastermind who planned everything, including booking this hotel!
Kuje somehow calms himself down 😤➡️🙂, but Shina is still fuming, her face red with frustration.
🌞 Exploring Hokkaido
After a while, they freshen up and step outside. The weather feels strangely warm for Hokkaido, but still way colder compared to Kyoto ❄️.
They start wandering through the streets, curious and excited.
Kuje checks directions on his phone 📱 while Shina keeps taking in the new sights.
They eventually reach the heart of the city, which feels a little like Kyoto itself.
But the highlight of the day?
They visit a beautiful temple ⛩️.
Shina, as usual, takes dozens of selfies 📸✨ while Kuje captures a single, quiet shot of the temple,
just enough to keep it in his memory.
🎁 The Doll Scene
As they walk further, Kuje notices something,
Shina has her eyes fixed on a cute doll 🧸 inside a shop window.
But she doesn't step in.
Why? Because it feels too childish for her, and the price tag… 6000 yen. 💴
Without a word, Kuje steps in and buys it.
When he walks out holding the doll, Shina stares in disbelief.
Shina (mocking tone):
👉 "So the cockroach has turned into a little kid, huh?" 😏
But Kuje ignores her words and simply hands her the doll.
Shina: "…This… is this for me?" 😳
Kuje just nods silently.
For a moment, Shina's frustration melts away. She blushes slightly, hides it with a smile, and walks ahead.
As the sun sets 🌇, Kuje sees her framed in the golden light,
beautiful, more than words could describe.
Shina suddenly turns her head and whispers softly:
👉 "Baka… You idiot." 💕
Before Kuje can react, she runs forward playfully.
Kuje chases after her, calling her to stop, but the moment freezes like a memory.
🌙 Night at the Hotel
Later that night, they return to the hotel.
Dinner is served 🍲🥢
delicious beyond expectations.
After the meal, they finally enter their shared bedroom.
The bed is huge 🛏️… but both lie down with their backs turned to each other, leaving a safe distance.
Shina's heartbeat races a little faster 💓… but soon
settles as she falls asleep.
