People are not as good as the sky. This year, the cold air from the north came earlier and stronger than in previous years.

Therefore, those nobles and big businessmen who often come to Kashima for winter also come earlier and more than usual.

So much so that when Charles came here, he found that the single-family hot spring villas were all rented out.

Although "Black Bat" has a stronghold here, it is a bathing place, and someone has not been extravagant enough to spend the whole winter there.

And even though Reimu has been away for a while, he might come back anytime, so there is no way to arrange for him to live in the bath.

So he can only look for those with large suites in those more high-end hot spring hotels, which can be quieter.

Kashima is a volcanic island in a lake. In the center of the island is an extinct volcano more than 200 meters high. A lake is formed in the crater. The small castle of the local lord Kashima is built on the edge of the crater.

There were several hot spring hotels on the mountainside, and Charles finally found an empty room at the Japanese-style hot spring hotel on the higher ground.

However, the proprietress said to him hesitantly: "We have a single house here that is vacant, but... the suites are all taken over by a businessman's family. These guests like quietness and require new guests not to be noisy and not to bring outsiders back. Spend the day or something..."

The proprietress has been in this business for decades, and her eyes are very vicious. At first glance, you can tell that this is a young and rich young master. If such a young master travels alone, he must find a lot of girls to come back and make a fool of himself.

Charles smiled and replied: "It's just right, I like quiet too. I plan to live here until the end of February next year. We can sign a contract. If I'm too noisy, you can kick me out. The rent and deposit will not be refunded."

The lady boss thought for a while, and the business was done.

The two soon signed a contract at the front desk, and then the proprietress took Charles to the small single-family building.

The scale of this hotel is not very large. To the east is the entrance, next to the entrance is a two-story suite building with only four suites. To the north is the first floor kitchen, dining room, proprietress, staff quarters and laundry. There is not much flat land in the west, so a small building was built. The open-air bath is right in the middle of all the buildings. From the bath, you can see the beautiful view of the big lake in the south, and you are not afraid of someone in the city peeping with a high-powered telescope.

It's just that it's a little high here, and it's a little far from the city by the lake. The road is not easy to walk, so business is so-so.

Charles followed the proprietress to the small building and felt a bit pitted. This two-story wooden building is only 5 meters long and 4 meters wide. The first floor is a servant's room, a tea room and a balcony bathroom with a bathtub. The second floor is a room facing the The view from the south window is okay.

However, the room on the second floor has a bed, a desk and a bookshelf, which already meets Charles's requirements.

Along the way, the proprietress introduced the history of the hotel. What surprised Charles was that the owner of the chef was of traveler blood. His ancestors asked for this place to build this place after saving the then Grand Duke of Kashima more than 400 years ago. hostel.

Charles did the math. Judging from the time the old man was active, Philip and the others were active and he was probably dead when the war started.

When she was satisfied with seeing the guests, the proprietress asked, "Sir, do you need to hire a special servant?"

When Charles was passing by the laundry room just now, he saw the family who had the suite come with servants. The owner's son and daughter were working in the hotel. If he didn't want to do it himself, he had to hire a servant.

However, he was not familiar with this place, so he asked the proprietress to help him hire a more diligent person in the city.

Then he left the hotel and went to the city to buy some pen, ink, paper and other things, and then bought some souvenirs as a wedding gift and sent it back to Biro Town to the married children of Andre's family, and then wrote a letter to Aunt Pumpkin, saying that he would be next year. Going back in April, the small building will be cleaned every day, and the vegetables in the ground will be picked and eaten when they are mature.

At the same time, he also wrote to the two guys, asking them to send "homework" once a month while they were out saving the world.

The special product of Kashima is the thunderhorn deer. The almost circular island is like cutting a pizza. With the castle of the Duke of Kashima as the apex, there is a place separated by a wall of thorns nearly ten meters wide. Humans move in this small piece. , other places are the habitat of thunderhorn deer.

A certain person walked around the specialty store and bought three deer head specimens hanging on the wall for the three couples to hang in the living room.

The antlers of thunderhorn deer are a bit like moose, and they look very mighty.

When he was leaving the store, a group of people passing by outside the store happened to see him.

The group was led by a middle-aged couple who were dressed in disgraceful ornate clothes. The middle-aged man recognized a certain Xi who had met at the auction in Knowledge City at the end of last year and immediately pulled his wife around and left.

Charles silently rolled his eyes at Grand Duke Kashima, smiled and nodded to the Grand Duke's daughter beside him, and walked towards the stationery store.

After Charles finished shopping, he asked Dragon Logistics to send the items and returned to the hot spring hotel, and found that the proprietress was waiting for him to come back with apologies.

Charles understood half of it when he saw the little girl next to the proprietress.

The proprietress said apologetically, "I'm sorry, there are too many guests on the island recently, and there are no other servants, only this little girl is left."

"The girl's family was in trouble. The family took her here and ran away with money, so she could only come out to seek a living by herself, and she was quite diligent."

Charles looked at the little girl in her early ten years and felt a little familiar. He shook his head and asked, "What's your name? Do you know how to do laundry and make tea?"

"My name is Yanita." The little girl replied, "I can do laundry and make tea."

Charles sighed and said, "Well then, I'll hire you at this time."

The two quickly negotiated the salary. Yanita offered a very low salary. Charles shook his head, gave her a reasonable price, and then paid a little money for the proprietress to prepare some meals for her.

When night fell, the hot spring hotel welcomed an incredible number of guests.

Although Duke Kashima dresses very low-key, how could the lady boss not recognize his face.

After he came to the small building where Charles lived, he went straight to the second floor, and was surprised to see Charles sitting on a chair reading a book, while a little girl nearly died of tears next to him.

"Little Charles!" Duke Kashima said unhappily, "Why did you bully the little girl?"

Charles shrugged and replied, "Uncle Kandaham, you have wronged me, I didn't bully her, I just told her the truth that her eldest brother was killed for attacking where I lived, and her second brother was killed for taking the mountain with him. The thief injured my companion and was killed by me, and her third brother was sold to the Slime Basin for trying to drug the princess."

What happened in Biro Town a while ago was very noisy, and Kashima Grand Duke Kandakan naturally knew the details, so he asked in surprise, "Is this the youngest daughter of the Kontrov family?"

Over there, Yanita wiped her tears and nodded.

Kandahan asked Charles with a dark face, "So you came here after chasing this little girl all the way?"

Charles said angrily: "As for me, if I really wanted to do it, the Kontrov family would be long gone by now."

"I was kind enough to come here to spend the winter with you to increase your taxes~lightnovelpub.net~ She just happened to meet me."

Kandahan sighed and said, "Because her grandfather is my old customer for many years, I'll take her back, so as not to be bullied by you, I'll send someone to serve you later."

Charles pouted, pretending to be unhappy and saying, "Shouldn't you be the one to take me to the castle to enjoy?"

"Don't think about it!" Kandahan said decisively, "My wife is at home, it is not convenient for you to go!"

Charles almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Kandahan ignored him, but talked with Yanita for a few words, and after she nodded, asked his men outside to send her back to the castle.

After the tossing was over, Kandahan took out a roll of parchment and handed it to Charles.

"Look at it," he said. "This is a letter Spike wrote to me during his lifetime."

When he heard the letter from his father before his death, Charles immediately took it and read it carefully.

The letter was written more than a month before Charles' eighth birthday ten years ago.

The content of the letter was very simple. Father Yi first talked about a lot of family affairs, mainly to show off how cute his daughter was and how smart his son was. Then he recalled the history of everyone fighting with others at the Wisteria Academy, and finally said that he might die soon. , Let Candahan invite Charles to Deer Island when he is an adult, tie a big rock and sink into the lake on the top of the mountain.
