Seijirou got out of the car, his eyes surveying the environment as he took a deep breath.
Retsu had parked the brilliant red Ferrari La Ferrari discreetly in a small, seldom-used parking lot at the foot of a tall, imposing mountain.
The air here was cool, crisp, and clean, far removed from the city's smog.
Retsu got out, stretching languidly before offering Seijirou a confident smile.
"My grandfather lives on the absolute highest point of this mountain. And yes," she added, anticipating his thought, "the entire mountain and everything on it is our family property, given by the former Prime Minister to my grandfather to enjoy his retirement life."
Damn. Seijirou whistles. Retsu's Family is actually connected to the former Prime Minister? They must have a lot of sway in politics.
Retsu then pointed toward a winding stone staircase, ancient and moss-covered, that disappeared into the dense forest above. "Follow me. The hike is long, but the view is worth it."
