Chapter 598 - Kurama Temple

"It looks very tall," Hotaru said, looking at the instruction manual in Fujiwara's hand. "Won't it take us a long time to get up?"

"It's not that exaggerated," Takeda shook his head as he glanced at it. "The total length is only 207 meters, and the height difference is 96 meters. Even though the trail may be a little longer, it's not that troublesome. ”

"You can't say that," Fujiwara shook his head. "It doesn't seem that high, but it's actually a gondola from the Pumyeongden Temple to the Tahobo Pagoda - if you get from the Tabao Pagoda to the main hall, you'll have to walk a little further, and you'll miss a lot of shrines and the like on this route."

"Is that so......" Hotaru said with a look of embarrassment. Hmm-"

"What are you hesitating about?" Fujiwara glanced at her.

"Probably nothing...... Right? Hotaru looked at the road map next to her, uncertain.

"Then the right way?" Fujiwara was sure of everyone's opinion, especially the two little ones in the team.

"No problem." After confirming that there was no problem with Gray Plains, Qian Yu nodded.

……

After visiting Dorobika Paradise, considering that everyone's destination is the same, Chiba and Ashbara finally chose to travel to Kyoto with Fujiwara and the others to pass the time before meeting with the members of the Junior Detective Corps at the Hoshima in Maizuru Port. And today, they chose Kurama-ji Temple.

Kurama-ji Temple, one of the attractions of Kurama Honmachi, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto City. Because the distance is relatively close, it is difficult to return to this place once you go somewhere else, so Fujiwara has set it as the destination of today's itinerary. In this way, the group took a bus and train to Kurama-ji Temple. (Kyoto City Bus, Kyoto-Demachiyanagi Station; Demachiyanagi take the Eizan Tram Kurama Line to Kurama)

"Kuramaji Temple has arrived." Just then, the train began to slow down slowly - they had arrived at Kurama Station.

"Which way should we go—" As they got out of the car, Yuma, who had gotten out of the car by Hotaru and Fujiwara, turned his head and asked Takeda, who was also holding a map next to him, but suddenly let out an exclamation. "Ahh

It's no wonder she exclaimed—she had been looking at Takeda and hadn't paid attention to what was ahead, but when she looked ahead again, she found that there was a big red stick in front of her.

"Really, Yuma-chan, why are you a little absent-minded?" Hotaru had already covered her mouth slightly, looking at Yuma with a laughing expression. "One second too late, and you're going to be beaten up by Tengu-sama!"

In front of Yuma, there was a red tengu head perched on a pedestal at a height of more than one and a half meters. The entire tengu's head is almost red, with only two eyes and beard embellished with black and yellow. In front of the tengu, a large nose that was almost longer than the entire tengu's head was thrown forward like this—this was the long stick that Yuma had almost hit just now.

"Why are there tengu here?" Gray Plains asked in a low voice.

"Kurama-ji Temple is famous for this," Chiba shrugged. "It's not for nothing that this temple is enshrined as a temple guarding the ghost gate of the capital. Well, of course, it's barely fair to say that it's also famous for the Gen Yoshitsune. ”

"Gen Yoshijing?" Gray Plains muttered the name in mourning. He ...... Been here? ”

"Seems to be," Chiba nodded. "On the map just now, the whole road from the main hall to the west gate seems to be full of attractions related to the Gen Yoshitsu - maybe we'll walk over there when we go down the mountain later."

If Kurama-ji Temple can't compare in prestige with those temples located in more lively places, the group is somewhat grateful for this at this time.

"I think it's a good thing that it's so quiet here!" Takeda looked at the ninety-nine fold approach in front of him and said. "If it were crowded here, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to have the opportunity to see such a pure scenery."

"yes," Fujiwara nodded. "You see that there are basically three or four families in the neighborhood who come out to play like this, and we are basically an outlier when we come from afar."

"You...... How long can it last? After arriving at the Senshin Pavilion, Fujiwara frowned slightly and looked at Hotaru.

At this time, Hotaru was already clearly tired (due to the limitations of the figure, she has never done enough training in strength and physical fitness, so although her flexibility and flexibility have been beyond ordinary people, she is still only a petite girl in terms of physical fitness, and even weaker than ordinary girls). In the case that Yuzhen, who is also a girl, has no discomfort on her face at all, a little sweat has appeared on Hotaru's face. With everyone quietly watching Hotaru, they could even hear Hotaru's weak gasps.

"How much longer?" Hotaru glanced at Ai and Chiha, the two of them were obviously not as physically strong as her, but since the two of them had rehydrated through the kettle carried by Chiba many times along the way, they hadn't been in the same mess as her.

"It's about a hundred meters up there," Fujiwara thought and pulled out a purple kettle from his backpack. "Would you like to drink a little?"

"Hmm." Hotaru nodded, grabbed the kettle with both hands, and took a sip.

"Your body is too weak too," Fujiwara sighed and glanced at Chiha, looking at Hotaru who was drinking water. "It's not even good for the two little guys, why did you drop the chain first."

"Uhhh "Do you want me to exercise every day, and then all I can touch in the future is hard muscles? I don't think you'll think that's great! ”

"I don't want to marry a Valkyrie with muscles all over her body," Fujiwara shook his head. "But if you become like Okazaki, it's nice to be a sunny athletic girl."

"Mizuko-san, who is cute in his own right," Takeda thought for a moment, and then judged Fujiwara's thoughts. "If it becomes like this-ah! (When he said this, he suddenly saw Yuzhen who turned around with a somewhat stunned gaze) Yuzhen, you are also very ...... Cute (Takeda blushes when he says this), but ...... Isn't it a style of painting with water students, isn't it? ”

"That's right," Hotaru blinked, walked over to Fujiwara with the kettle, and while pressing her body tightly against Fujiwara's chest, she gently rubbed her two hands from Fujiwara's left and right ribs, and stuffed the kettle into Fujiwara's backpack in an almost hugging position in front of Takeda and Yuma, who were already blushing a little. "Don't you think that I am actually the most suitable for this kind of appearance?"
