Reborn in Tokyo after picking up Sayu who ran away from home

Chapter 670
As a result, Kei couldn't fall asleep after that.

At twelve o'clock in the morning, Yusuke Kato woke her up on time, and she opened her eyes as if she had just woken up.

In fact, it's not just herself, she knows that the other party is also up.

It's not the insomnia from the excitement of spending time with the opposite sex, it's from being haunted by memories of something or someone.The only reason she could think of was the unexpected guest who came from afar.

When she carried the hiking bag on her shoulders with complicated emotions, the weight from above was so heavy that she was unfamiliar.

Obviously, I spent half of the time carrying it on my back climbing the mountain yesterday, but now I feel a little bit overwhelmed.

Pack up your things and come to the entrance, the guide is already waiting here.

As a professional mountaineering enthusiast, the other party obviously would not waste time on trivial things like them, but slept solidly for 4 hours, showing a state of full energy.

Right now is the peak time for departure, and the climbers gathered in the hall in high spirits.

They are wearing thick mountaineering clothes, preparing for the departure.Some people are packing their bags, some are replenishing hot water, and some are enjoying breakfast in advance.

Walking from indoors to outdoors, the icy air is chilling.

The sky was still shrouded in deep darkness.

The Mount Fuji in front of me is like a towering snow mountain behemoth, hidden in the night, and the icy white snow on the peak is shining faintly.

Standing outside the mountain hut, it feels as if you are on the top of a snow-capped mountain that stretches for thousands of miles, and your heart is filled with a deep and distant feeling, and the cold air makes it difficult to breathe.

Looking up, there are no clouds in the sky.

The lit up stars are like countless lonely lighthouses, scattered in the night sky in a patchwork pattern, forming a dense star network, extending to the horizon, shining with faint light.

Looking at the Milky Way flowing in the night sky, Hui couldn't help having the illusion that she was floating in the sky, as if she had merged with the starry sky.

The night wind kept blowing, bringing tiny snowflakes dancing with the wind, which felt like light feathers.

In this thin air, the surrounding scene is extraordinarily clear, as if entering a surreal world.

"The visibility at night is very low, and the night wind is also very strong. Be careful not to fall when walking."

The guide warned: "It will take about 3 hours to climb from here to the top of the mountain, so let's keep going at a constant speed."

After explaining the necessary matters, the guide took the lead and walked forward.

Kei reached out to turn on the headlights, and strode forward vigorously.Kato Yusuke followed closely behind.

The climbers spread out in the darkness, forming a procession-like procession, and the light from the lighting equipment formed a strip of light, echoing the starlight.

About half an hour after setting off, Hui began to feel a little strenuous.

Not only did the brain become dull, but even the body was a little weak, and the steps were extremely heavy.

Should I tell Yusuke...?
A moment of hesitation flashed in her mind, and she was rejected in the next second.

The one who asked the other party to accompany her was herself, and she had no reason to give up first.

What's more, today is the rare White Valentine's Day. She hopes to create unforgettable memories with that person, preferably so deep that the other person will never forget her for a lifetime.

For such reasons, she could not speak.

I knew I had a good rest last night...

Kei walked forward while thinking with self-reproach.

Leaning on a trekking pole, she walked carefully on the narrow climbing path.The gravel is constantly bumping under the feet, and the balance must be adjusted step by step.

Sometimes her feet got stuck in rocks and had to be pulled out with force.

The wind intensified as it climbed upwards, and the icy mountain wind made people shiver.She had to bend over to avoid being blown down by the wind.

The surrounding environment is getting colder and the oxygen is getting thinner, making it difficult for people to breathe.

Even though he was just walking, he couldn't breathe as if he was running.

Her heart beat faster and her tinnitus was loud, but she didn't want to stop, so she gritted her teeth and kept going.

She stepped on the gravel slowly, took a deep breath, and tried to adjust her rhythm, but her legs seemed to be filled with lead, and the more she walked, the more tired she was.

His eyes gradually blurred, his breathing became rapid and unsteady, and his consciousness was a little hazy...

When she reached the eighth station, she couldn't move anymore and was forced to stop to rest in front of a mountain hut.

She hugged her hiking backpack, lowered her head, and breathed heavily as if she couldn't breathe.

Sensing something was wrong, Kato Yusuke immediately took out the oxygen bottle, put a mask on her mouth and nose, and let her inhale oxygen.

At first, Hui felt a little uncomfortable with this strange breathing, but as the oxygen warmly flowed through her nose and throat, the comfortable feeling made her gradually relax.

Most importantly, the feeling of suffocation was finally relieved.

Sitting in a chair, she breathed slowly, feeling her heart rate stabilize and her dizziness and palpitations gradually disappearing.

Seeing this, the guide promptly stopped the teenager who still wanted her to continue breathing oxygen.

"That's enough, Brother Kato. Your girlfriend's altitude sickness has almost been relieved, let her take a rest naturally."

So Kato Yusuke took out the thermos again and poured a cup of hot water, "Come and drink some water, Megumi."

"...Well, thank you." Hui took small sips of hot water, and his body gradually warmed up, "Yusuke, what time is it?"

The guide took the initiative to answer: "It's [-]:[-], it's been two hours since we set off."

"Two hours..."

Hui murmured and looked up, the dark mountain was hidden in the night sky, looking long and sinister.

They are currently in the eighth station, and it will take at least two hours to climb to the top of the mountain from here, and the progress is far behind.

She took a breath and returned the cup to the boy beside her, "Thank you for the hot water, Yusuke, we should continue to set off."

Kato Yusuke shook his head firmly, and poured her a cup of hot water again, "You just experienced altitude sickness, what you should do now is rest."

"However, then we won't be able to catch up with the sunrise at the top of the mountain, so we must hurry up."

"No, your current state is not suitable for continuing to climb the mountain."

"But we've worked our way up here, how can we stop here? I'm really fine!"

Kei wanted to stand up from his seat as he spoke, but was held down by the other side's shoulders.

"I said no and no."

Kato Yusuke looked at her with serious eyes, "Even if you force yourself to continue climbing, what should you do when you go down the mountain? Or, would you like me to carry you down the mountain?"

"……Well."

Hui was speechless for a moment, her lips pursed tightly.

Kato Yusuke slowed down his tone a little, and then said: "Anyway, mountains can't run, and we will have a chance to challenge it in the future. You don't have to worry, your body is the most important thing."

The guide nodded aside, agreeing with these words.

"Brother Kato is right. Miss Kato, what you need most now is to rest and let your body recover slowly. This mountain hut seems to be open. I'll go and communicate with them."

After finishing speaking, Noguchi opened the door and entered the next mountain hut.

So Kei fell silent completely, drinking water silently.

Of course she knew she wasn't doing well.In addition to the groggy brain caused by lack of adequate sleep, physical fatigue is also a problem that cannot be ignored.

In short, her body has reached its limit.

After a while, the guide came out from the mountain hut and told them good news with a smile on his face.

"Brother Kato, the people in this hut have agreed to let you in to rest, why don't you take Miss Kato in and lie down?"

"Ok."

Kato Yusuke nodded gratefully.

"Excuse me, Mr. Noguchi. Thank you for your help along the way, we will not continue to climb up, and you can go up by yourself for the rest of the journey."

"That's it... that's fine."

Noguchi glanced at them respectively, nodded in understanding, and quickly said goodbye and left.

Hui looked at the back of the guide heading to the top of the mountain, filled with annoyance and powerlessness, but followed the boy into the house.

The staff of this mountain hut are very enthusiastic and generously said that they can rest on the Chase bunk, and also provided clean pillows and thick blankets.

Kato Yusuke expressed his gratitude sincerely, and then took her to sit in a corner where no one was around, and offered to help warm the baby when she found her hands and feet were frozen.

Hui cooperated silently, until he stretched his hands towards his feet, he couldn't help but stop him, "...I've walked for a long time, it's dirty, I'll do it myself."

Kato Yusuke shook his head, ignoring her embarrassment, changed her into a pair of clean new socks and put warm baby on them, then put the removed socks back into her backpack in a bag.

She looked at all this with complicated eyes, took out a wet towel and asked the other party to wipe her hands, and felt a warm feeling in her heart that could not be described in words.

There was no trace of boredom on the boy's face, and there was only concern for herself in those eyes, which made her feel a little difficult to calm down.

"Why are you being so nice to me?"——she couldn't help thinking, but when the words came to her lips, she changed into another way.

"...Yusuke, leave me alone, I will rest here, and you can go with Noguchi-san."

Kato Yusuke paused, then frowned amusedly, "What are you talking about, how could I leave you here alone?"

"But...it's rare to come to Mount Fuji, it's a pity that you don't go to the top of the mountain." Hui whispered, trying not to let the unwillingness and bitterness in her heart show.

Hearing this, Kato Yusuke couldn't help staring at her for a moment, then jokingly said: "What's the pity, how can you look good on the top of the mountain?"

"—!"

Even though she knew he was deliberately interrupting and comforting herself, Hui's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lay down under the blanket and turned her back.

"...Oh~ yes, that's up to you~ I'm going to sleep."

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but nodded, "Well, take a good rest, I will wake you up before sunrise. Good night, Megumi."

Fool……

The girl gently pressed her chest, feeling the warmth from her hands and feet, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"...Good night, Yusuke."

A sense of peace of mind gradually came to her heart, and she soon fell asleep.

……

Unlike last night, Hui slept very soundly this time.

When she opened her eyes again, it was already [-]:[-] in the morning, and the only climbers in the mountain hut were her and Kato Yusuke.

They bought some bread and biscuits from the shop here, ate a little for breakfast, and walked outside together.

The sky was a pre-dawn indigo.

There is a faint smell of rosin in the air, which is refreshing and makes people take a deep breath involuntarily.

The two didn't bother, they sat on a rock near the mountain hut, snuggled up and waited for the sunrise.

Occasionally, climbers leisurely passed in front of them, heading for higher ground.

Kei looked at the distant sky and suddenly thought of something, "Speaking of which, Yusuke, do you know what people call the sunrise on the mountain?"

"Isn't it called Sunrise?" Kato Yusuke tilted his head in doubt.

"No~" She shook her head lightly, "To be precise, it's Yu Laiguang."

"Yu Lai Guang?"

"Yes, I heard that the origin is the light behind the Buddha when he appeared on the stage, which is regarded as a mysterious symbol by people."

Kato Yusuke gave a nonchalant sigh, not interested in this topic, and asked instead: "How is your body?"

"Well, it's all right~ Thanks to you, I rested well, thank you."

"You're welcome, as long as you're fine. The temperature outside is very low. If you sit still for a long time, your body temperature will drop quickly. Come and eat a piece of chocolate."

The boy said as he broke off a piece of chocolate and fed it into her mouth, and she ate it obediently.

As they chatted lightly, the sky began to take on a faint pink hue.Over time, the pink becomes more vibrant, revealing a searing red.

Yusuke Kato took out his mobile phone, turned it into camera mode and pointed it forward, ready to take pictures and record the moment of sunrise.

At this time, Hui suddenly stood up lightly and took two steps forward.

"Hey, Yusuke."

Under his puzzled gaze, the girl turned to face him, her cherry lips slightly parted.

"—Stay with me, Yusuke."

The next moment, the sun finally broke.

The entire sky was dyed coral-like red, then gradually turned orange, and was replaced by golden yellow.

The rising sun blazed up to the top of the mountain and spread its blazing light, illuminating the snow-covered peaks and making the surrounding scenery extraordinarily bright.

Strange-shaped lenticular clouds mysteriously float in the sky, and a thin layer of fog surrounds the horizon. The scenery is extremely magnificent.

The girl turned her back to the rising sun and the sea of ​​clouds, and pressed her mid-length hair fluttering in the wind with one hand. There seemed to be light and shadow floating in her beautiful eyes, lighting up the twilight full of his eyes.

- Click.

Kato Yusuke instinctively pressed the shutter, staring blankly at the beautiful and dazzling shadow, his heart beating wildly.

He will never forget this moment.

For some reason, this thought crossed my mind.

At sunrise, Mount Fuji above the clouds.

He couldn't help being tempted by the girl in front of him.

They stared at each other as if the world stood still.

Afterwards, the girl lowered her eyes first, blinking her slender and thick eyelashes shyly.

"...In short, as I said just now, although it is not yet the time we agreed on, but...if you are willing, let's be together. Okay?"

Riding the wind on the high mountain, these words reached Kato Yusuke's ears, pulling him back who was temporarily escaping from reality.

"Agreement" - two simple words, but it seems to tear away all the whitewash and fantasy, revealing what he has been deliberately ignoring at this moment.

Looking at the girl in front of him, he felt his chest being tightened, rationality and sensibility collided fiercely in his heart, and his expression wrinkled unconsciously.

However, you cannot fail to answer the other party's questions.

So Kato Yusuke took a deep breath and tried his best to squeeze out a smile.

"Sorry, Hui, I can't just respond to you like this, I have other girls in my heart."
