Pantyhose is an immortal god

"My eyesight is fine, I don't need it at all."

Sekijou finally shook his head and refused.

Naoki said: "Go back to the top of the mountain and try to slide again."

The three got on the cable car and returned to the top of the mountain.

"Very clear." Ogata opened his eyes wide, his pupils twinkling, "Everyone at the foot of the mountain can be seen clearly."

"Buuf Hawkeye sounds unscientific." Sekijou complained. "Eagle are like chickens and ducks, they can't see anything at night."

Naoki looked at Sekijou: "You really found out the secret, it seems that I can only be cruel."

"Hmph, Rizu-san and I are skiing."

Sekijou reveals that she is not afraid of any threats.

With the addition of the 'Hawkeye' buff, Ogata has finally unlocked his ski skills, and with the fact that Sekijou is always with her as a guard, Naoki doesn't have to worry anymore.

Naoki hugged the snowboard and was about to go to the upper area. On the way, he suddenly saw a girl hiding alone in a corner.

"Miku?" Naoki came over, "What are you doing here?"

Miku crossed her arms and shivered, "It's so cold."

In Hokkaido's winter, the dripping water turns into ice, so it's weird that it's not cold!

"You have to move," Naoki said speechlessly, "Of course it's cold if you don't move. You haven't skied yet, have you? Itsuki has already learned that."

"Itsuki just lacks coordination, so she's not that stupid."

Miku replied, then said sadly: "I already skated once, with Ichika, the wind was blowing on my face, I felt really cold."

Naoki: "😐"

Racing on ice and snow that makes people release a lot of dopamine. In Miku's eyes, it's just a face that hurts from the wind, and it really has nothing to do with skiing!

"There's an igloo over there." Naoki's heart moved, "Since you don't want to go skiing, why don't you go and have a look around the igloo environment?"

Miku was very curious about the igloo: "Go and have a look."

The two of them stepped on the silky smooth snow, and arrived at a row of igloos with branches strewn about.

This igloo is definitely the work of the ski resort staff, it's a pretty standard semi-circle shape and it's made entirely of ice blocks, as Christmas is coming, this igloo is also decorated with lots of small lanterns which looks beautiful and grand.

"Do you want to charge?" Miku asked.

"No need." Naoki shook his head, "There is nothing in the igloo, so we will go to Kamakura with us and visit the womb at the foot of the Great Buddha in Kamakura to satisfy our curiosity."

Miku replied: "It will cost ten yen more."

"Yes, you have the final say."

"It's so perfunctory." Miku puffed out her cheeks. "It makes me angry."

There were a lot of tourists here in the igloo, both adults and children, but they didn't stay long, most of them would be out in a minute or two.

Naoki and Miku chose an empty igloo and bowed to enter it.

"Sure enough, nothing."

The size of the igloo is small, only enough to accommodate two people, except for a small lamp on the wall to provide lighting, nothing else.

This is Miku's first time entering an igloo. Even though there was nothing in it, she was still very interested: "I remember when I was in the third grade of elementary school, I first saw on TV that the Newgate people of the Arctic Circle lived in igloos. At that time, I was curious that igloo is so cold that people can actually live in it."

Naoki said: "The igloo can stay warm because..."

"I know." Miku brought her legs together, sat inside the igloo, exhaled softly. "I asked mom when I was little, and mom said ice is a bad conductor of heat, right?"

Naoki said in a casual tone, "Of course, you should read more."

Miku reached out with her right hand and stabbed Naoki in the waist.

"It makes me angry."

"Wait a moment." Naoki said firmly "To show respect, when you stab someone, you should at least take off your gloves."

Hearing this sentence, Miku's face became even more puffy, almost turning into a rolling ball animal, and she took off a thick glove with a rabbit pattern printed on it.

"It's cold."

Within seconds of showing her hand, Miku immediately regretted it.

Naoki held Miku's right hand, and gently played with the girl's slender fingers: "His hand is so cold."

"Your hands are too hot."

Miku is very jealous. In winter, she can't sleep without turning on the air conditioner at night. The feeling of cold hands and feet in the middle of the night is terrible.

Why aren't men's hands and feet cold at all?

Unfair.

"Warm your hands first, otherwise it's useless to wear gloves."

As Naoki spoke, he stretched out his arms to wrap around Miku's waist, and with a bit of force, he cradled Miku into his arms.

"What are you doing now?"

Miku's face was slightly red.

"Of course to warm up." Naoki said confidently, "Penguins in Antarctica use this method to keep warm, and it turns out to be very useful."

"We are not penguins." Miku complained.

But having said that, the body warmed up.

Naoki looked down at Miku's feet, the legs wrapped in black pantyhose became more and more slender, under the dim wall light, the pantyhose seemed to reflect a faint glare, it was very eye-catching.

"It's so cold, and you're still wearing pantyhose, isn't it cold?"

"Of course it's not cold anymore." Miku gave a confused look, "These pantyhose are really thick and have very good thermal effect, and I can barely feel the cold."

"I do not believe."

"Eh?"

"You usually like to report good news but not bad news, and you don't want to admit it when it's cold." Naoki stretched out his right hand and placed it on Miku's lap. His palm immediately felt a soft and smooth warm touch, and said righteously, "Let me check."

Miku's face turned red.

"… Asakawa pervert."

Knowing that the pantyhose of sufficient thickness is very warm, but still saying such a thing, he just wants to touch her feet.

"Your feet are so soft."

Naoki squeezed Miku's calf, gently, and he couldn't feel any muscle tension at all.

"I'm really sorry for being too gentle." Miku puffed her face out, "Yotsuba is really hard, you pinch Yotsuba."

"Bullying Yotsuba would hurt one's conscience."

....

The two of them sat inside the igloo, touching each other and whispering, Miku felt the temperature in the air seem to warm.

Naoki immediately felt dissatisfied and just pinched his calf, and approached Miku, ready to bully the other person further.

Miku's eyelashes fluttered slightly, she closed her eyes shyly, and was already mentally prepared.

But the next moment.

Miku suddenly opened her eyes, and said:

"Why do you smell like Itsuki?"

"What?"

"I smell meat buns."

....

The evening session was no later than ten in the evening, but no one would skate that long, one for lack of energy, and the other for safety reasons, the teacher didn't allow students to play until it was too late.

Just before 8pm, the Quintuplets reunite with Naoki, they go to the hall to return the skis, then take the cable car down the mountain.

The snowy night is cold.

Except for the 24-hour snow sweeper on the city's main road, the other lines were temporarily neglected. Walking on the snow-covered path, there is a warm light in the distance, and the heat is exuding from the ramen restaurant, which looks very eye-catching.

"Shall we go back to the hotel to eat, or eat out?" Nino asked.

The registration fee includes the cost of food and drink, and the hotel is responsible for three meals. However, there are always people who like to eat out. The teachers turn a blind eye to this and will not deliberately force it.

"How about we eat out?" Itsuki looked ahead and said, "Winter is the time to eat Matsuba crabs. Matsuba crab is known as the 'king of winter flavours'. Rarely come to Hokkaido, it would be a shame not to eat crab."

Yotsuba reminded. "We don't have much money anymore."

Crabs, in ancient times, were eaten by more common people. The nobles and samurai simply ignored it. Unfortunately, times have changed, and now crabs have become a high-class delicacy. The number of Matsuba crabs are rare, hard to catch, and very expensive. Enough for one person, but very unaffordable for five.

"Correctly..."

The ahoge hair on top of Itsuki's head suddenly withered.

If the Quintuplets are not responsible, they don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. The winter trip registration fee had almost cost them money, and they really couldn't afford the pine needle crab food.

Naoki: "Rarely come here once. If we don't eat the crab even once, Itsuki might regret it so much that he can't even sleep. Let me treat you."

"This is no ordinary ramen. Matsuba crabs are very expensive, so we won't eat them." Nino complained "Itsuki eats well and sleeps well. I've never seen her suffer from insomnia, don't worry about it."

"What?" Itsuki was displeased "I also have insomnia, what if I can't sleep?"

"What is Itsuki worried about?" Yotsuba asked curiously.

"...Confidential."

Itsuki turned his head away, his gaze slightly erratic.

His work and rest time is always very regular. She put his phone down at 11pm and went to bed on time. She was almost asleep within minutes and woke up on time at 7 in the morning.

Go to bed early and wake up early, get eight hours of sleep, very regular.

But whenever Naoki stays over, Itsuki will suffer from insomnia at night...

"I have a solution." Ichika suddenly smiled and raised her hand.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Ichika stretched out a finger and said earnestly:

"Why don't we go to the dream world, Matsuba crab can be eaten at will, and we don't have to spend a dime after eating it."

"We can't do it today, I have to wait until I get back." Naoki shook his head regretfully "There was another boy sleeping together in the room."

Nino said sadly "No one promised you okay?"

The fact is that you are the only one who disagrees, Itsuki is nodding now!

"Okay, let's eat Matsuba crab." Ichika clapped "I have enough money to eat."

"Where did you get the money?"

Miku tilted her head to look up, and when she asked, she even glanced at Naoki.

Could the reckless Asakawa have guessed Itsuki's thoughts, so he communicated with Ichika first, right?

"I do not."

Naoki shook his head in denial.

As an actress, Ichika has done films, TV dramas, and commercials, although they are all little-known supporting roles, at least she has some savings.

"Let's go, eat Matsuba crab." Ichika put her hands behind her back, and said charmingly, "It's so cold that my hands freeze without gloves. Asakawa-kun will lead the way."

"Okay." Naoki agreed, "Turn left first."

"Wait." Nino couldn't help but say, "You didn't turn on your phone to navigate while you were leading the way?"

"No cell phone navigation required." Naoki raised his finger and pointed at his head, "The route is already stored in the head."

Yotsuba: "Asakawa-san is amazing."

Nini opened her eyes wide and complained, "No, isn't such a thing exaggerated?"

"That's not an exaggeration." Naoki sighed softly, "You don't know anything about a student's memory."

Nino: "...I suddenly felt like I hit someone."

Miku said, "Me too."

...

Not needing a cell phone for navigation, Naoki seemed to actually know the map by heart, and led the Quintuplets through several snow-covered roads, and soon arrived at a restaurant that specialized in eating crabs.

Opening the curtains and entering the door, a gust of warm air blew on the face, and every pore in the body seemed to open by itself.

"It's very warm."

"It feels alive."

Nino breathed a sigh of relief, "I suddenly miss kotatsu."

From a snowy night that is a few degrees below zero to a restaurant with a temperature of tens of degrees, there is a warm feeling like spring.

Naoki looks at Nino, with an annoyed tone: "So that's my kotatsu."

The kotatsu is not big, and it is already occupied by Nino and others. Several girls sleep directly in the kotatsu at night, and Naoki is escorted to the bedroom to sleep.

Nino lifted his chin "We'll talk about it when we move."

"Come here quickly." Itsuki's voice sounded, "This crab is really big."

The specialty of this shop is that on the long table at the entrance there is a wooden boat full of crabs. After the guests are selected, the chef will cook on the spot.

"This is Matsuba Crab, very big."

Itsuki reached out to tease.

"Do not move." Naoki grabbed Itsuki's hand, "If you get caught in a crab, we have to send you to the hospital."

Lobster pincers are in proportion to their size. The bigger the pincers, the more painful it would be to pinch someone, if caught by a Matsuba crab, Itsuki would probably cry right away.

The crabs don't need to be peeled by themselves, the chef will take them apart neatly, and the guest only needs to be responsible for eating.

After a lively dinner and paying the bill, Naoki slowly returns to the hotel with the Quintuplets.

Returning to the shared room, after drinking two sips of tea, the cell phone suddenly vibrated.

Taking out his cell phone, Naoki found out that it was a message from Furuhashi.

"Asakawa-san, where are you?"

"Just got back to the hotel."

"Are you free now?" Furuhashi asked quickly, "Kashima-san's cell phone was stolen. Despite the calls to the police, I don't think it's possible to get them back, I can only ask you."

Naoki asked quickly, "Where are you?"

"Commercial road outside the hotel."

"Wait for me."
