"Where do you want to go on your next trip?" P looked at the phone.

"Think about it again? It's so troublesome, I don't want to use my brain, what can I choose?" I also looked at the phone.

"You can choose from within Japan."

"Um... let me think about it... Hokkaido."

Well, I'll admit I'm a bit of a herd. I like Hokkaido where everyone likes to go.

The previous one was Okinawa, this time it is Hokkaido. Hokkaido, like Okinawa, is also a mysterious place, because it is the exact opposite of Okinawa. I don’t know why, but I can’t think of a place I want to go when I travel there. It always has Mysterious charm.

I felt this way when I first came to Hokkaido.

I still remember that summer, the reason I took the license plate test was to obtain an international license. Fortunately, because of the self-driving tour in Hokkaido, this is not to say that P forced me, although it is indeed true.

"I got you a driver's license."

"Why? Just take the car."

"I have an arrangement. I'll take the test first."

After the test, I hurriedly took me to change my international driver's license.

Summer in Hokkaido is so refreshing and cool, that summer was to Furano.

Then in the second year, I went to Hakodate in winter. I still remember that I actually had little driving experience. It was the second time to travel by car in Japan, and it was the first time to drive in the snow.

The car is completely unfamiliar. Starting from Chitose Airport, it is estimated that it will take three or four hours to drive to Hakodate.

I’ve never been driving in snow, I’m scared, GPS wasn’t very advanced back then, and mobile phones didn’t have access to Google Maps on the Internet. I got lost and drove to a place where there was nothing but a vast expanse of white snow. land.

When I got to the expressway, I got on the wrong way again. As a result, I had to turn back at the nearest next exit (already more than ten kilometers away).

When the snow stopped in the middle, I foolishly ate lunch at one of the SAs and watched the snow-capped mountains.

"It's spectacular." P pointed to the mountains in the distance to the white crest.

"Quick photo, quick photo!" I even picked up the latest GF1 and took pictures.

None of us thought that there was not much sunshine left in the afternoon.

It was snowing heavily at that time, the snow was like a downpour, and it was like someone was doing snow removal work in the sky, and a lot of snow was plucked off.

One snowflake won't block the view, thousands will. The car closed the windows and turned on the heater, leaving only the sound of the engine in sharp contrast to the furious blizzard outside.

Looking out from the car, on the highway, apart from the snow, you can't even see the road, just a piece of white, and endless pieces of snowflakes appearing in front of the car.

There are no reference objects on the road, no lights when looking up, no street signs, no signs and traffic lanes on the ground when looking down, the sky and the sky are all white.

Only when there is a car in front of you and the distance is close enough do you see two small red lights that are rushing on and off. These two cold lights are like lighthouses in the sea of snow, and I dare not get too far away from it, for fear that it will never return.

In the car, holding the steering wheel with both hands seems to control everything, but the car is a lonely boat in the raging sea. You can only rely on the reflector light on the roadside fence that reflects your headlight to determine that you are still on the road. .

And these reflection lights can only be seen when you drive within 50 meters, no, 20 meters. This is the visibility of the day, only less than the visibility of a basketball court.

It was already dark when I went to Hakodate, and it was very dark in winter. It was almost completely dark at four or five o'clock. The snowstorm and there were not many street lights. It was really funny when I remembered that time. The two-week snow trip in Hokkaido Fortunately, no major accident happened.

Well, the scar forgets the pain, and after a long time, I miss the romance of Snow White.

I went to Hokkaido again this year, and I have been there many times (P said 17 times!), but the reason for this visit was to visit UPOPOY (symbiosis symbol space) in Shiraoi-cho, Hokkaido. In the beginning, I wanted to see the special exhibition "Walking with "Golden Kamuy" - The World Traveled by Sugimoto Saichi and Ashlipa. (Be careful, the closing day is on a Monday!) Another time it wasn't open because of the severity of COVID.

This time, I saw the completion of the new hot spring hotel of Hoshino Resorts series, and it is right next to UPOPOY. I planned to come and see it because of convenience. This trip is at the end of February, and the weather is very cold throughout the year.

P rubbed his hands on the plane: "I hope the snow will be all right this time. The weather has been a little warm recently, so it's a bit of a fly in the ointment if you can't see the snow."

When the plane was high in the sky, the actual weather could not be seen in the clouds. When it approached the Aomori Sea, I saw some clouds. When it was about to land, I finally saw snow, and P began to get excited.

As soon as I stepped out of the cabin door, the clear and cold air belonging to Hokkaido poured in.

The snow was a little heavy. The snow on both sides of the road was like cream on a high-end cream cake. On the way to Tomakomai Fish Market, there was a vast expanse of white on both sides. P should also drive with special care.

The snow stopped for a while, and the sky was a clear blue, as if it was washed clean and fresh.

Tomakomai's seafood restaurant is one of the very few "spots" that we will go to again. It is exactly the opposite of the fish market in Okinawa. The food there is very delicious, and it is completely to our taste, shellfish.

The market looks very simple, a bit like a normal street market, there are many restaurants in it, I almost went wrong the first time I went. If you go again, you can recognize it. The cyan warm curtain is easy to recognize. The blackboard at the door is full of dish names. It is unpretentious, but very flavorful.

Live ホッキbei (North Jibei) is very famous in Tomakomai. There is a saying that "When you talk about Tomakomai, you think of ホッキbei." Sea urchin with crab and a sea urchin with いくら, two seafood rice, let us thank the sea for the deliciousness. I didn't eat sea urchin when I was young. I thought it was too strong and had a strange smell. As I got older, I realized that fresh and high-quality sea urchin is a different thing. Even in Tokyo, we don't know how to eat it. Sea urchins are only eaten in places where sea urchins are abundant or at high-end sushi restaurants. If you don't like sea urchins, the reasons may be the same as mine. It is better to eat a good one than to eat a sea urchin that smells of urine ten times.

After lunch, set off for UPOPOY National Symbiosis Symbol Space, which is the first natural park with the theme of Ainu (アイヌ) nationality in China. UPOPOY means song in Ainu language.

Speaking of the アイヌ nation, it is a very long story, because last year I happened to read a very popular comic "Golden Kamui". The comic itself has done a lot of research on the アイヌ culture, and the description and characterization are also very detailed, and I can't forget the face. The naive Ainu girl forces the male protagonist to eat the eyeballs and heads of squirrels. The first half of the comic is like the lonely gourmet of the Ainu version, allowing you to see the Ainu people who are in the snow and the sky and lack of natural resources one after another. Lucky dishes. After reading the manga, I was very interested, and I also read some materials. I also wanted to come here to check it out this time.

The Ainu people are the aboriginal peoples around the northern part of the Japanese archipelago, especially in Hokkaido.

The Ainu people have a unique culture that is different from that of Japan, and the language is mainly "Ainu". Have you ever wondered why the place names in Hokkaido are always weird? You can always guess a little bit of the meaning of the kanji names in other places in Japan. That's because the place names in Hokkaido were originally in Ainu language, and the pronunciation was first obtained, and then the pseudonym was used to memorize it, with Chinese characters. Taking Sapporo as an example, Chinese characters are meaningless, but the pronunciation in Ainu language has different meanings. Probably from the Ainu word "sat-poro" (often dry/dry and broad).

As for the name of the Golden Kamuy, the Ainu believe in primitive animism, with a "spiritual culture" that believes that all things in nature have souls (kamuy, カムイ, Kamuy), various creatures that exist around human beings and Among the phenomena that will play an important role and have a strong impact on human beings, it is called kamuy. The Ainu people believe that kamuy is everywhere, always guarding themselves. For example, animals, plants, fire, water, wind, mountains, rivers, etc. are also kamuy, and kamuy came to the human world in the form of local products such as meat and fur. "Golden カムイ" in the comic Golden Kamui refers to the gods, souls, divine powers, and influences contained in gold. Interestingly, カムイ is not necessarily good, there are also evil カムイ (such as a man-eating bear), and the relationship between people and カムイ is not high or low. People do not need unconditional obedience or dedication, if they do, they should do it. Something and カムイ did not return or respond, one could even condemn him.

UPOPOY, a symbol of national symbiosis, has a large area. It is located in Shiraoi Town. It is built along the national forest and Poroto Lake. Poroto Lake means "big swamp" in Ainu language, and it is about 4 kilometers long. There is a camping area by the lake and we saw people ice fishing on the frozen lake when we went.

The appearance of the National Ainu Ethnic Museum is very modern, and there is no sense of incongruity among the art museums in Tokyo. There are many exhibits, including interactive exhibits, including all aspects of the Ainu people's clothing, food, housing, and transportation. You can compare the costumes, weapons and tools used by the Chinese and foreign protagonists of the Golden God. If you have read the comics, you must be very interested in the survival skills, hunting and eating habits of the Ainu people in the wild, which can be mutually confirmed with the content of the comics.

The most impressive part shows the stories of today's Ainu people, some of whom work in fishing and some in forestry.

P: "Huh! So there are still Ainu people?"

The exhibition tells us that the Ainu nation is not a past history. The Ainu people finally got their name right after working hard. They are not affiliated to any country, nor inferior to other nations, but have an independent and long history and A unique culture, today, working and living on this land with the Japanese under equal opportunities, without being dwarfed or discriminated against.

After the tour, we went to the experience exchange hall to watch the traditional performances performed by the Ainu people. The performances were very exciting, including traditional sacrificial ceremonies, traditional dances and musical instrument performances. The traditional dance we watched this time was the crane の dance り of the Ainu people living in the Shirao and Akan area, imitating the sounds and movements of the white cranes and their children. You can even see Ainu dance performances from other regions on different days, making your experience different every time you come.

Stepping out of the experience exchange hall, the weather is very good, and just after the snow, the sky is blue and cloudless, the environment is quiet, and there is a large white snow scene.

Walking along the frozen lake and approaching the state-owned forest is the traditional Ainu village, which is the チセ (house) settlement. The Ainu will have easy access to food and water, and there is no natural Next to the disaster-stricken river, woods such as cloves and ash are used to build チセ groups, which are convenient for fishing and collecting plants. It seems that the construction along the lake also has this implicit meaning (it is not ruled out that it is simply for the sake of appearance).

There are different areas in チセ where visitors can experience the traditional living space of Ainu. In addition to attending or observing ceremonies and participating in activities, you can also learn Ainu language, try on ethnic costumes and take pictures. Since I didn't have a lot of time (and I'm not very good at trying new things) to simply wander around, we left as soon as the staff showed up.

The hotel is nearby, if you have a car, you can arrive in one minute. By the way, it’s also Hoshino, this time it’s Hoshino’s Kai series, the Kai series is positioned as a small hot spring hotel with high quality, the quality will be better, and it’s newly opened, and you can expect all kinds of equipment (no expectations, no disappointment, alas).

This was the newest hotel at the time, and P had a soft spot for newly renovated hotels and always wanted to stay out of the box.

If you have read the previous article, you know that Hoshino is usually not our first choice, but this hotel is new and close to the symbol space of ethnic symbiosis, so we chose to live here.

Immediately upon arrival, I felt the power of Hoshino Resorts to control costs. The staff were young and hardworking (and pleasing to the eye), but they were understaffed. In some places, I really felt that I was being slowed down. cost and expectations. And this feeling of being slowed down is quite common in Hoshino series.

The interior of the room is good, and the decoration has also deliberately made a lot of special designs of the Ainu people. The wallpaper uses Ainu embroidered patterns, the wall hangings are wood carvings of Ainu boat pulp, and the table is designed to imitate the stove in the チセ house. , There are also several Ezo cherry pillars (decoration) in the room. Ezo mountain cherry is a very important natural resource for the Ainu people. For example, it will be used for reinforcement when picking up items, and as a scabbard for makiri (knife). (Those who have read the manga should be impressed).

The hotel also has a well-known hot spring called Triangle Hot Spring, which has a distinctive appearance and is highly recommended by the staff.

As soon as P entered the room, he was ready to change his shirt, and then jumped up and down to take a bath.

After a while.

Me: "Hey, come back so soon?"

According to P, she soaked for about five seconds and then left.

"why?"

"Because the place to soak in the hot spring is only about the size of a double bed!!!" she said, pointing to the bed in the room.

"It looks really big from the outside." I looked out the window.

"It's embarrassing for three people to sit naked in a hot spring that is only the size of a double bed. It's too embarrassing. After soaking for a few seconds, they ran out." P stomped his feet in anger.

To be honest, some places have a daikiri bath that is even bigger than the private bath at the hotel where we stayed for the second night.

The place to eat at night is also the place where Hoshino's cost control madman is displayed. It works hard to create the feeling of a whole room. The place is small, the passage is narrow, and the light is insufficient. As a result, a maze is created, which is really an escape room. The labyrinth, no instructions, the same everywhere, no room number, nine twists and thirteen bends, it's okay to have someone in the case when you come, no one cares when you leave, we are really lost in it.

In terms of food, the focus is on the punch card (like the small hot spring mentioned earlier), the two small pottery bears, the appetizers for two people, sashimi, and suction are all placed on a large and small wooden boat (small big wooden boat? ) to enhance the visual impact. The ingredients also use fish, beef, crab, etc. so that you don't feel shabby. It may be a good experience for guests who visit for the first time or rarely travel, but for us, everything is a little bit worse. It feels like eating a meal at a better chain restaurant at a higher price, so it is necessary to grow Does the water go far to Hokkaido? Would you go to McDonald's, one of the top ten restaurants in the United States, to eat authentic hamburgers? There is also a very inappropriate arrangement, that is, there is no room with a view of the outside at night and breakfast, that is, sitting in the "black room" twice, which is very unacceptable, even if there are more guests, at least it must be arranged Let the guests sit in a seat with a view of the scenery for a meal. This is a mistake that famous hotels will never make. If the person who arranges the seat is distracted or there is no arrangement in the SOP, it is an unforgivable sin (probably A bit exaggerated, but the view is included in the service expectations).

Generally speaking, you can make reservations for some activities the next day. This is a feature of Hoshinokai Hotel. In the past, some hotels had local performances. For example, when you went to Aomori's world, there would be a live performance of Shamisen. There are Noh performances that tell stories of Japanese mythology and more.

This Hoshino Resort also has some special activities, which is to give you some traditional Ainu flowers and dried herbal flowers to make you a talisman to ward off evil spirits. It is also... very special, but after doing it, I don't know what it is used for, and this amulet The most ingenious part is that the flowers inside are actually very beautiful, but after wrapping it into a talisman, you can't see the dried flowers inside. You can only see the frosted white paper (and the LOGO of the world) outside, and there is no fragrance. I don't know what to do when I go home. Where to put it, the only hope is that it really acts as a security guard (laughs).

If you have read the previous article, you will know that we usually go to better places and hotels on the second day, and the key activities are arranged on the second day. I plan to go to a Michelin three-star restaurant at noon, and then go to a hotel in Niseko to stay for one night. Ski and go back to Tokyo.

Unfortunately, P's wish was received by God.

"I hope it snows a lot! Hokkaido is much more beautiful if there is snow! This time I went skiing, how can I ski without snow?"

P praised the snowy Hokkaido while spinning.

But.

On that day, mankind finally recalled the horror once dominated by the heavy snow, and the humiliation of being imprisoned in the snow. (Attack OO)

the next morning.

"Hokkaido has encountered a rare snowstorm. Where are the guests going? Remember to check the transportation arrangements."

Let's take a look at the situation of the expressway. It is very miserable. There are black lines and a bunch of white dots with red intersections. Sure enough, many expressways are blocked. Originally, we should go to Niseko from Muroran. The distance will be relatively long. It's fast, and it's also the only way to go to the noon restaurant, but because of the road closure, we can't go there at all.

"Call to cancel lunch, it's impossible to get there now."

It's a pity that it was the long-awaited restaurant, which had been reserved half a year ago.

After embarking on the snowstorm journey, it is estimated that it will take five or six hours to get to the hotel, which is about twice as long as the original time, so we should set off immediately. Head south from Otaru to Niseko.

The distance itself has been a lot longer, the GPS is completely ineffective, and the GPS on the car is wrong. When I went to a certain lake after a lot of hard work, the road itself was closed in winter, so I had to go back to another place. Head to Sapporo from the expressway. On the way, I had to contact the hotel by phone and email. As expected of a high-end hotel, I immediately confirmed the route for us and gave us detailed instructions.

Follow the directions and Google Map to Sapporo and then go to Otaru, but because of the heavy snow, the IC in Otaru is also closed, so we had to start the ordinary national road, and then go to Kutchan. The car on the national road was slow, and the weather and road conditions were poor. Especially when I finally entered Niseko, the sky was slowly getting darker. Departing from Shiraoi-cho at 11:00, it was almost 5:00 when I arrived at Niseko. Fortunately, I didn’t stop for lunch in the middle (refer to the previous experience).

Finally arrived before dark, hungry and tired.

The figure of the hotel appeared in the snow.

"Za forget the forest", has been hailed as one of the five must-see high-end hotels in life.

The snow around the hotel is very thick, and the snowstorm is not interrupted. Looking out from the big window, it seems to be in a lonely corner of the world, and there is a feeling of loneliness.

Looking at the trees swaying like breathing in the wind and snow, there is indeed a Zen feeling of "sit and watch the clouds rise", and the name of Zuo Wang Lin was changed to be appropriate.

The corridor to the room is very long. There are paintings and snow outside the window in the middle. It seems like an endless gallery. Moreover, the building adopts a retrograde design. The staff suggested that we can go in the other direction when we dine in order to enjoy more views.

As soon as we entered the room, we chose it as the basic design of our new home in the future.

Looking out of the big window, I thought it was snow outside. The staff asked us to look at the trunk and branches, saying that it was actually the top of a tree, not the ground outside, so don't go out through the window.

The room is very big, and many designs are also very thoughtful, especially the private open-air bath hollowed out like a large black rough stone is very atmospheric. Soak in the open-air hot spring below zero degrees, watch the snowflakes outside, and the hair freezes after soaking for a long time. Before six o'clock, the sky slowly darkened, and it quietly turned into a blue-blue color that makes people feel slightly drunk.

At dinner, the hotel knew we had a long drive and even arranged for us a separate corner room with two large windows to enjoy the snow at night.

The cuisine is very distinctive, and it also exerts a lot of creativity, unexpected cooking techniques, and the style is special and unified.

Sometimes you will feel that you will be able to distinguish the style of a hotel from the tableware used, cooking techniques, color selection, etc. If you can distinguish it from other hotels, then it will be a very successful hotel. . Generally, Japanese cuisine will be expressed in mainly warm colors. The bold use of black like Zaforest is rare, and the style is also very strong and distinct.

In the evening, I set an alarm clock in my room, ready to welcome February 22, 2022 at 22:22. When the time came, I kept taking pictures and then screaming. It took a few seconds to find out that it was the 21st.

"It doesn't matter, just shoot it tomorrow."

"I'm back in Tokyo at this time tomorrow, what's so special? I don't want to spend this special moment in an ordinary place! Humph!"

I rolled my eyes to the position of the cerebellum.

The next day's breakfast was a surprise. We don't really like Japanese-style breakfast, so if the hotel has Japanese-style and Western-style options, we usually choose Western-style breakfast, but in fact, not many hotels provide Western-style breakfast, and there are only very few Japanese people. I will choose a Western-style breakfast. If there is a Western-style breakfast, it is usually not very delicious, but the Western-style breakfast of Zaiwanglin subverts our imagination. The layout is exquisite like the Afternoon tea of a high-end hotel. .

When we set off from Zanwanglin, I had seen the traffic situation very clearly, and I checked with the staff. It deliberately violated the rules and started slowly about half an hour earlier (10:30). Generally speaking, we did not sit until 11:00. Will not check out, but the weather has become too bad, so I had to leave early.

Everything about skiing in Niseko has been canceled, and P has seen enough of the snowy scenery that P’s heart desires.

As soon as we got in the car, we headed to the airport. Our flight to Tokyo at 6:00 pm should be no problem for seven hours.

As we all know, Niseko and Chitose Airport are not really that far apart, but halfway through, we finally received news of the flight. The last thing we wanted to hear was that the flight was canceled due to the wind and snow. I booked flights from other airlines, and I worked so hard to get them, but they were all cancelled in the end (don't sell them if they are cancelled, can you set sail from the whole airport? Do you have a shuttle?).

I thought about taking the Shinkansen and then taking a boat, but the weather was so bad, the traffic was completely stopped.

There was a lot of wind and snow along the way. On the expressway, it took two or three hours to travel. In the end, it was really about six o'clock to go to the airport. Even if the original flight was able to fly, it would not be able to catch up.

"Don't make it in time, stay in a hotel for one night and go back tomorrow morning." I.

"Oops, hotels near the airport are full." P.

"It doesn't matter, I remember that there seems to be a place to soak in hot springs in the airport, maybe there are accommodation facilities." I.

"It's already FULL." P.

"I'm going to sleep at the airport that night!?" Me.

I don't know why, but it's a little troublesome and a little ワクワク feeling.

8

That day is February 22, 2022. It is a very easy day to remember. It was also a rare snowstorm in history at Chitose Airport. It seems that P’s wish this time was too powerful. Many flights were affected, and the stranded There are also many tourists.

Before arriving at the airport, P's expression was solemn.

"What's wrong?"

"The airport is not open 24 hours. If it is closed at night, I don't know if it will be driven away."

But when we got to the airport, we were relieved. There were thousands of stranded passengers, and it was impossible to drive all of them to the ice and snow.

We looked around for a place to spend the night. The hot spring facility on the fourth floor was already crowded with people. Most of them were young people, and they occupied the seats in twos and threes. Just like viewing flowers during the flowering season, everyone was close to each other. First, because of the epidemic situation, and second, because I don't want to force people. Later, I went to a few places, there is a waiting area in the waiting area, there is a convenience store, a toilet, and there are charging places, but there are more people, and there is no space to lie down. Went to the closed dining area on the third floor, no people, clean and lots of places, but no one is very suspicious, Japanese usually like to get together, a place without people must be a problem.

Finally, P's eyes were sharp, and he finally found a sofa in the lobby. Yes, it was the central area with several large display boards and information desks. There is a considerable distance between the sofa and the sofa, you can sit and sleep, it is a good location!

Japan's airports are also very good, with bright lights at night and security patrols. It feels like an ordinary shopping mall, but there are no shops open.

At about 9 o'clock, the airport closed the dining area on the third floor, and drove away the people who used to be on the sofa outside the restaurant. Fortunately, we didn't stay there, and it was right to get together.

Then the airport lobby we were in began to be crowded, people came from all directions, but the crowd was mainly Japanese, it was very quiet, sitting 20 meters away, we didn't even notice the crowd gathered , without instructions, the crowd slowly and automatically turned into a dragon.

P : "You go to the platoon too."

"Don't know what to line up?"

"Have you forgotten first principles?"

"Um..."

In the past, I was integrated into the human dragon, and it was true. Soon the human dragon became longer and longer. Fortunately, I had the supreme wisdom of P.

After queuing for a while, a team of employees in protective suits came out.

"It's not about testing. shit..."

Then more people showed up...and began to prepare to distribute supplies.

I looked left and right in the queue, people were all normal, some were talking and laughing, and no one complained about the stay or the arrangement of the queue.

The materials distributed include rubber mats for floor covering, sleeping bags, two bottles of drinking water, canned bread and energy bars, which are probably the usual disaster prevention supplies.

We booked a flight back to Tokyo at 9:00am the next morning, P this time begging for no snow tomorrow or at least for the plane to take off, she had already seen enough snow to see.

We deliberately took a group photo at 22:22 on February 22, 2022. Sure enough, we spent it in an extraordinary place and will never forget it.

After a brief wash in the unoccupied bathroom, I made the floor, put on a sleeping bag, slept on the floor, and left the sofa to P. The floor tiles are very hard, but the floor mats and sleeping bags are fine. The floor and sleeping bags were clean, and the canned bread was cute, so I decided to take it home as a souvenir. I took a few bites of the energy bar, took a sip of water, looked at the large screen that was turned off, and fell asleep while bathing in the lights that were not turned off.

It's not the first time sleeping in an airport, but it's fun to sleep through the night.

When I woke up at 6 in the morning, the whole airport was buzzing, and everyone was ready to board. While we were buying souvenirs, we paid attention to the flight situation. In Hokkaido, we only bought two types of souvenirs, マルセイバターサンド from Rokatei (but I ate too much this time, and I won’t have to buy them in the next year or two.) and a certain brand of soup curry (try it out). There are about ten models, only this one, I and P would like to call it the strongest!).

Looking at the screen of the general flight is like watching the stock, and finally after the delay and delay, the flight at 9:00 can finally board at 11:00. But boarding is not 100% safe, and it may not be able to take off due to changes in wind and snow. We sat on the plane and watched the cabin TV reflect the outside runway and the wind and snow conditions. It was white and the snow stopped for a while, giving the airport a breather Opportunity.

There was a familiar vibration from the chair, and the scenery outside the window slowly moved. The flight to Tokyo finally took off. I heard a faint but slight cheering. I hugged P and smiled.

"The next time you make a wish, just make a wish for world peace."

postscript

Going back to Tokyo is not the end of the journey, because we are starting from Narita, but the fastest passenger plane that can go back to Tokyo on the way back is to Haneda, so after flying to Haneda, I and P will split up and I will go back first. The family dealt with the three cat owners in the family, and then P had to take a car from Haneda to Narita, and then drive back home from Narita.

That's right, since we usually drive ourselves from home to the airport, why not take a car? Because it will actually take more time to drive, and it is also hard to force the car.

When I got home, I looked at the messy, looted house, and the cat owners expressed their dissatisfaction with their actions. They didn't put in the good, brand-new, unused Mao Nai She Dashi soup dumplings and were poisoned.
