Chapter 55: Absolutely no

The next morning, his father and mother had clearly made up.

His mother had also returned to her usual self, busy making breakfast and tidying up the housework, while his father sat in the living room reading the newspaper.

Sure enough, Kenji Nakamori and Nanako Nakamori were both happy in their marriage.

Naoki Nagayama had to leave early, and there was still a long journey waiting for him ahead.

However, after Tsuruko's pleading, he finally agreed to send her to school. It seems she must experience a luxury car once.

Leaving Tsuruko at a distance from the school, Naoki Nagayama continued his self-driving tour. The next section of the road was basically a coastline, and he could enjoy the sea view very well.

It seemed that there was a light rain last night, and the air on the road was fresher.

Occasional sea breezes blew, and he could even taste the faint salty taste of seawater.

Listening to the music on the car audio while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the coastline, occasionally when he was interested, he would explore the beach next to him, or take pictures of the blue sea on the reef. Naoki Nagayama was immersed in this scenery, completely unaware of the time.

The vehicles passing by occasionally were all full of trucks or hurried pedestrians. Not many people could be as comfortable and leisurely as Naoki Nagayama.

At noon, he had a seafood meal in Kosai City. There was nothing else, just highlighting freshness. In the afternoon, he embarked on the journey again.

Nagoya's fame has been known in Japan since the era of Tokugawa Ieyasu. The famous Nagoya Castle, despite the war, still stands in Nagoya City and is known as one of the three famous castles in Japan.

Other famous attractions include Atsuta Jingu, Tokugawa-en, Daikannon-ji, etc.

After Naoki Nagayama arrived, he just took a cursory look at these attractions. For people who grew up in this new era, these temples are at best scenery that is a bit special.

After an afternoon of driving, Nagoya's specialty food was what he wanted to try most. He found a specialty restaurant in the city and began to enjoy it.

People in Nagoya especially like sauces. The famous flat noodles and sauce-boiled udon were indeed worthy of their reputation, as well as tempura rice balls... Several delicacies made Naoki Nagayama's stomach full.

At night, he found an inn to make do for a night. There was absolutely no "special service"!

The next day, Naoki Nagayama had a kind of tea-soaked rice called eel tea as breakfast and began the journey to the mountain area.

The mountain roads in the Showa era were not as perfect as they were later, and occasionally he would encounter small animals passing through.

Naoki Nagayama drove very carefully all the way, and he didn't even increase the speed.

However, he also took this opportunity to enjoy the green trees in the mountains, the red flowers on the side of the road, the small streams between the stones... and of course the ubiquitous mosquitoes...

Naoki Nagayama didn't stop to take pictures along the way until Iijima Town, where he took a short rest and tasted the famous buckwheat noodles in Nagano Prefecture.

The afternoon journey was slower. As the altitude increased, the temperature gradually dropped. Naoki Nagayama, who was driving a convertible, felt a little chilly.

Sure enough, Otomo Yoshimura's saying that returning to his hometown to escape the heat is very feasible.

Arriving in Suwa City at 3 or 4 in the afternoon, if he continued to drive, he might have to spend the night in the mountains. Naoki Nagayama decided to rest here for a day. I have to say that the night in the mountains is indeed a bit cold. It is very comfortable to soak in the hot springs at this time.

On the fourth day of the self-driving tour, Naoki Nagayama set off from Kirigamine and drove on the "Venus Line," which is known as the best driving journey. This road, which can be said to be developed specifically for tourism and self-driving, rises and falls in the mountains of Nagano, winding and winding, and there are numerous viewing platforms along the way.

"The flowers of April in the human world have faded, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple have just begun to bloom."

Although it is already mid-June, there are still many flowers blooming in the mountain area, dotted among the lush forest leaves. The colorful mountain pools are like agates strung together by small streams, putting a colorful necklace on the already beautiful scenery.

The camera along the way never stopped, and Naoki Nagayama stopped at every viewing platform to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

It is said that when the leaves change color in autumn, this place will be like nature's palette. Naoki Nagayama is already considering whether to take a tour in autumn.

The road deep into the mountains is winding and winding, and the altitude is constantly rising. Sometimes Naoki Nagayama can't see the direction even with a map. Fortunately, with the reminders of the stops along the way and some vehicles that are also driving, he finally drove to the Utsukushigahara Highlands.

Taking photos at the highest roadside station in Japan, and visiting the Utsukushigahara Open-Air Museum, buying a pile of souvenirs...

It was already past 2 o'clock in the afternoon. This day was basically spent driving, taking pictures, and enjoying the beautiful scenery. Even lunch was just a bento bought at a store.

It is said that going up the mountain is easy and going down the mountain is difficult. If you don't go down the mountain now, it might be dark when you reach the foot of the mountain.

The scenery along the way down the mountain is still beautiful, but Naoki Nagayama just took a look at it. Unless the scenery is particularly beautiful, he would not stop to take pictures.

After reaching the foot of the mountain with the traffic flow, Naoki Nagayama drove to the Bessho hot spring village to rest and wash away the fatigue of the journey.

Driving for 4 consecutive days, crossing mountains and seas, even if accompanied by beautiful scenery and food, he was indeed a bit tired. This sleep was not very stable.

As soon as the sky was bright, Naoki Nagayama started the self-driving tour again, but this time he didn't continue to walk into the mountain area. He drove along the national highway, passed through Gunma, and drove straight to Tokyo.

It seems that Ogawa Town was not visited? Whatever, the closer he got to Tokyo, the better Naoki Nagayama's mood became. The CityPop on the audio is really only when listening on the city road, it will feel more.

All the way on the highway, in less than 3 hours, Naoki Nagayama could already see the buildings in Tokyo. It seems that lunch can be eaten at home in Tokyo.

Finally, at noon, Naoki Nagayama finally drove to the apartment in Waseda, and lunch was also solved in the ramen shop he often ate nearby.

Although there was endless food along the way, this familiar taste actually made him miss it a little.

The apartment, which had not been inhabited for almost a week, obviously accumulated some dust.

Naoki Nagayama returned home and put down the souvenirs and gifts along the way, and first started cleaning.

At the same time, press the recording of the phone. After going out for a week, it seems that there are still some people who left information for him.

The earlier one was a message from Shigechi Araki, asking Naoki Nagayama to inspect the operation of the disco in June. This manager is really responsible.

Genta Nakai left a message to ask about the recent situation and wanted to make an appointment to get together.

His mother and Tsuruko left a message saying that if he went home, he should report safety to them.

The most recent one was Shuichi Itō: "Naoki-san, haven't you returned from the self-driving tour yet? Recently received an invitation for a TV drama. If you receive the information, call back to talk in detail and give some advice~"

It seems that Shuichi Itō is preparing to film a TV drama, but from an advertising director to a TV drama director, it is a major transformation. I don't know if it can go smoothly.

Naoki Nagayama thought while cleaning, and then replied to the relevant information according to the message, especially making an appointment with Shuichi Itō to talk in detail at the studio tomorrow.

After a self-driving tour, these photos need to be washed by someone, these souvenirs bought need to be placed, and these gifts and postcards need to be divided, and sent to different people in the afternoon.

After such an operation, the day was dark...

Dinner was not eaten out. He fried 2 small dishes and solved it slowly with the TV station's program.

Late at night, Naoki Nagayama finally slept in the first house in Tokyo again. This time, he slept very deeply. ===== CHAPTER 56 =====
