Chapter 1364 Part 2: Joining a Tour Group
The old tour guide nodded as he watched this scene, then looked at Shin-chan and said, "Miss Shin, as long as the Nohara family makes it to the next rest stop on time, I will remove the points you lost and let you pass this final test."
"Ah! Is this true?" Shin-chan asked excitedly.
The old tour guide nodded: "Yes, so you must never let the Nohara family out of your sight." She now also felt how troublesome this family was.
"Yes! I will definitely do my best!" Xin Chengzi was completely energized.
After boarding the bus, Shin-chan continued to introduce the next destination. Upon arrival, looking at the Nohara family, Shin-chan carefully said, "Mrs. Nohara, the departure time for this tour bus is 4:20. Please don't be late! Thank you for your cooperation."
"Okay, I understand." Misae was also a little embarrassed. Indeed, they had gone a bit too far just now, dragging things out for a while. This time, they wouldn't do it again.
So, they went to the gift shop and started preparing gifts for each other.
"Buy this for the lady next door, buy this for the minister, and what about Kawaguchi..." The two kept picking and choosing around.
Shin-chan kept shouting from the side, "I want to buy this! Buy this!"
"Okay, come with me." Mingxu had already chosen a few items, and pulled Xiaoxin to choose a few more before heading to the checkout.
Shin-chan looked at them and was immediately delighted, but seeing Misae and Hiroshi still hesitating, she became impatient: "Hurry up and buy it, hurry up and buy it!"
After Misae and the others finished making their selections, a long line had already formed. Misae was taken aback: "Huh? Everyone's queuing to pay? Looks like we'll have to wait a long time."
Shin-chan pointed to the side and said, "Mom, there's no one queuing here."
"Huh? Really?" Misae walked over excitedly upon hearing this, but when she saw the self-checkout, she was stunned: "Um, self-checkout, how do I use this?"
"I don't know, let me see, is this how?" Misae stepped forward to try it out. Seeing this, Mingxu handed the things to Shin-chan and then went over: "Mom, let me do it."
"Ah? Okay." Misae nodded, picked up Mingxu, and watched him keep scanning codes and paying for the items. Shin-chan breathed a sigh of relief as she watched him. Thank goodness for this little guy.
They quickly calculated the price, and Misae put the cash into the machine, picked up the bag, and walked out. Shin-chan looked at them and said, "It's been 14 minutes already. We'll be late if this continues. Nohara, look up. Let's hurry."
"Ah, okay." Misae looked at Shin-chan, paused for a moment, and nodded somewhat awkwardly. Judging from her expression, it seemed she had been waiting for them.
"There's no time left! If Mrs. Nohara and you miss the tour bus, I won't be able to get through the tour guide's final strategy, and that would be terrible!" Shin-chan said anxiously to them.
"Huh? We absolutely can't let Miss Shin fail her test because of us!" Misae nodded, and everyone ran towards the bus together.
"Ah, thank you so much!" Shin-chan happily followed them.
On the way, they encountered two people who seemed to be arguing. Guangzhi was about to go over and stop them when Mingxu stopped him, saying, "Dad, they're filming a video." He pointed to a camera nearby.
"Oh, I almost misunderstood." Hiroshi realized his mistake and quickly continued running.
"Hey, grandma, let me help you carry your things." Misae saw an old lady struggling to carry her things on the road and went over to help. However, the old lady glanced at Misae and calmly sped up her pace. Now, Misae felt a little embarrassed.
"Hurry up! There's no time left!" Xiaoxin shouted, holding Mingxu's watch. He looked at the world on the screen; there were only a few minutes left.
"Sorry, sorry."
"Then everyone, let's go for it!" New Orange shouted excitedly. Hopefully, there won't be any problems now. But these people are way too enthusiastic...
"Ah, someone dropped their wallet!" Shin-chan suddenly noticed a wallet on the ground and picked it up.
"Oh no! We'd better take him to the police station quickly," Misae said instinctively upon seeing the situation.
"Ugh, please, have mercy on me!" New Orange was speechless. Why was there so much trouble?
Fortunately, the place wasn't far, and after delivering the items, they rushed over as well.
"Did you make it?" the old tour guide asked, looking at them.
"4:21," the old tour guide said, glancing at the time.
"Huh? We missed it?"
"No way?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Hiroshi Misae apologized repeatedly.
"It's okay, no need to apologize," Xin Chengzi said, looking a little embarrassed.
“Because she moved the time forward,” Mingxu said calmly.
"Huh? How did you know?" Xin Chengzi was taken aback.
“You’ve given us an hour before, but this time it’s only fifty minutes. Obviously, you’ve given us ten minutes early,” Mingxu calmly analyzed.
“That’s right,” Xin Chengzi said somewhat awkwardly.
"Congratulations, Miss Xin, you've passed!" The old tour guide smiled at Xin Chengzi.
"Hehe, actually the departure time I told you was wrong. I left 10 minutes early. I'm sorry." Shin-chan also apologized to Hiroshi Misae.
"Oh, I see!" Misae exclaimed in realization, then patted her chest. "That really scared me! I thought we had caused you to lose points again!" A relieved smile appeared on her face, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes gathered together.
Hiroshi breathed a sigh of relief, scratched the back of his head, and laughed, "Miss Shin, that was quite a 'cunning' move, but well done!" He gave Shin Orange a thumbs up, after all, it was related to whether she passed the test.
Xiao Xin tilted his head and looked at Xin Chengzi with an innocent expression: "Tour guide, are you a liar?"
"I'm not a liar!" Xin Chengzi blushed slightly and hurriedly waved her hands to explain, "It's just... I had no choice but to resort to this to ensure everyone could come back on time. Please forgive me!" She put her hands together, bowed slightly, and was very sincere.
Mingxu watched as Xin Chengzi looked relieved yet slightly embarrassed, a slight smile playing on his lips. This new tour guide, though inexperienced, was certainly going all out to pass the test, even resorting to such a "little trick." And the effect was immediate.
The experienced tour guide watched this scene, a subtle smile appearing on her face. She cleared her throat and said to Xin Chengzi, "Alright, now that everyone's here, let's get on the bus. We can't afford any more mishaps at the next attraction." Her tone was still serious, but much gentler than before.
"Yes, senior!" Shin-chan perked up and quickly replied, then turned to the Nohara family with a grateful smile, "Thank you so much, Mr. and Mrs. Nohara, and also Asahi and Shin-chan, for your cooperation!"
"Not at all, it's just about helping each other out!" Misae said with a smile, but in her heart she was thinking: Don't try this trick of setting the time ahead of schedule again, it makes people nervous.
The group chatted as they walked towards the bus. As they walked, Xiaoxin kept muttering, "The shaved ice was delicious, and we bought souvenirs too. Where should we go next?"
Hiroshi stretched, still a bit tired from rushing around earlier: "Who knows? Just follow the tour guide. Hopefully, the next place will be a good place to rest."
Misae started to think: "Will there be any local snacks at the next attraction? I wonder if the souvenirs I bought earlier will be enough. I should have bought more..."
Mingxu walked at the back, listening to his family's constant nagging, and shook his head helplessly. This family always seemed to have plenty of food and fun wherever they went, leading to all sorts of hilarious and exasperating situations. But perhaps that was precisely why this "super cheap tour bus tour" was so lively and interesting. He looked up at the sky; the sun was shining brightly. Today had been quite a fulfilling day.
