There are six routes up the mountain, and Kiyono Rin chose Route 6.

"There are waterfalls, streams, and a suspension bridge on this line. There are almost no traces of artificiality. It is very suitable for filming scenes in Iwate Prefecture."

After hearing what she said, Toru Watanabe said dissatisfiedly: "Whether it is suitable or not, I will wait until I, a real citizen of Iwate Prefecture, see it."

Rin Kiyono looked at Toru Watanabe, who was holding her women's parasol, put her hand on her chin, and smiled meaningfully.

"Why are you laughing?" Watanabe Toru looked at himself and found nothing wrong.

"Nothing. Let's go."

Once you get up the mountain, you won’t need your umbrella at all!

There are fir trees measuring seven to eight meters or even more than ten meters everywhere!

In addition to fir trees, there are countless maples, cherry trees, as well as various trees and weeds whose names are unrecognizable.

Mount Takao is known as "the number one climber in the world". In addition to its proximity to Tokyo, a cosmopolitan city, one of the most important reasons is the cherry and maple trees all over the mountain.

It is the end of August, a season with no special scenery. There are only green trees, green grass, and green stones all over the mountains and plains. Even the roof of the shrine is full of green light.

Unless intentional, there is no place to bask in the sun on Line 6.

Watanabe Toru put away his umbrella and looked at Qingye Rin's woven bag.

I thought about it for a while. It didn't make sense for her to lend her the umbrella when the sun was shining, but to let her carry it up the mountain on her own when the sun wasn't shining.

"Kyono-san."

"Um?"

"give it to me."

Rin Kiyono put down the SLR camera he was shooting and looked at him doubtfully.

"Yes." Toru Watanabe said.

Rin Kiyono was stunned for a moment, looked at Tetsu Watanabe's slender hands, then looked at his woven bag, and suddenly reacted and fell into panic.

"No, no...thank you."

"You just concentrate on shooting the scene and leave the hard work to me. I'm just a chore, right?"

Qingye Rin was stunned for a moment, smiled and nodded: "That's right."

She took the woven bag off her shoulder and was about to hand it to Toru Watanabe when Tamamo Haomi suddenly said: "Kyono-kun, let me get it for you!"

"No, thank you, Tamamo-san." Kiyono Rin declined softly.

"It's okay, just let me help you get it!" Tamamo Haomi said and reached out to pick up the woven bag, but Qingye Rin did not let go.

"If Tamamo-san is willing to help, just let her do it," Toru Watanabe said.

He has no sympathy for Tamamo's beauty. If she wants to take it, he fully agrees.

Tamamo Haomei glared at the pervert who touched her butt, and when she was about to speak, Kiyono Rin spoke first and said, "No."

The brief words contained an involuntary rejection, and Tamamo Haomi and the other three girls were stunned for a moment.

Toru Watanabe, who has read "How to Attack Rich Women" and "See Through! The Girlish Heart Behind the Lady's Character!!" and has rich practical experience, is not afraid of her at all - mainly because he is used to it.

With a hint of doubt, he asked: "Why not?"

Regarding Toru Watanabe's question, Rin Kiyono seemed a little unhappy for some reason: "Compared with Tamamo-san, I have a better relationship with you, so I feel more comfortable asking you to help me carry my bag."

Her words caused the mountains and forests to fall into silence.

Watanabe Toru looked at the shocked others, and even Asuka Mai, who had always been expressionless, looked at Kiyono Rin in surprise.

Watanabe Toru himself was a little surprised. After spending time with Rin Kiyono, he almost forgot that this guy had a weird temper and was rude to strangers - in fact, he was just telling the truth.

Thinking like this, he felt incredible that he actually developed 'Qing Ye Rin antibodies'.

What makes him insist on being with a person who only tells the truth for so long?

In addition to having a little bit of 9-point charming appearance, the reason should be that she would rather have no friends and insist on telling the truth.

"There's really nothing I can do, Tamamo-san, it seems Kiyono-san likes me more." Toru Watanabe proudly took the woven bag from Kiyono Rin's hand easily.

Tamamo Haomei stared at Toru Watanabe, her eyes burning with fighting spirit and murderous intent.

Qingye Rin sighed as if he couldn't help it: "Please don't use the word 'like', it makes me very uncomfortable, it just makes the relationship closer."

"Tsundere?"

"What tsundere?"

"nothing."

Looking at Toru Watanabe's serious look, Rin Kiyono thought of "Guan Gong Tells Things". Wasn't it just that he was...

She glared at Toru Watanabe fiercely and turned away unhappy.

"Let's go quickly. The light is good now, making it easier to take pictures." With that said, Qingye Rin took the lead in going up the mountain.

Tamamo Haomei followed immediately.

"Senior, let's go too." Ichimoku Aoi greeted Asuka Mai and Hanada Asako.

The unpopular Tetsu Watanabe fell at the back. He opened the woven bag and put the umbrella in it.

With a quick glance, he saw clearly what was inside the woven bag.

There are not many things, water, wallet, watermelon card for taking the tram, headphones, mobile phone, memory card, tissues, and a square pack of feminine hygiene products.

Watanabe Toru looked at the girl who was leading the way. She walked without any scruples. It seemed that she was just a backup.

It’s really hard for women, and men should protect them.

Watanabe Toru patted the woven bag and promised: "Comrade, brother, let me guard Qingye together, you are here, I am here!"

"Watanabe-san, what are you doing?" Kiyono Rin stood on a stone by the stream and said to him from above.

"Here we come!" Toru Watanabe took a step forward and caught up with them.

But having said that, this woman, Kiyono Rin, is really cunning. In front of both parties, she said, "Compared with you, I have a closer relationship with Watanabe." This made him actually feel a little bit happy to help carry the bag and walk.

All will fly.

As expected, the chaebol eldest lady cannot be underestimated.

Miki Kujo also needs to be careful. The situation has been very bad recently. He has almost forgotten about Ochanomizu.

Stepping on the bluestones and walking up the stream, they saw a small cluster of water flowing at the speed of a bucket of water falling. The name was quite impressive, called Loquat Falls.

From the nearby shrine, there was a faint sound that sounded like chanting sutras.

This road is very difficult to walk, especially for girls in the city. They are so cautious, as if there is an invisible abyss between two rocks.

Watanabe Tetsu walked at a leisurely pace, jumping from one stone to another. Occasionally, he lowered his body and turned over the stones in the stream to see if there were any fish or crabs hidden underneath.

"I can't walk anymore, let's take a rest!" Ichimokui shouted.

Watanabe Toru turned around and saw her lagging far behind, and the others looked too tired to walk.

"Let's rest for a while." Qingye Rin nodded and said.

Watanabe Toru looked at her, whose physical strength was only 3 points. The others had already sat down to rest. Although her clothes were soaked with sweat and her face was red, she was still concentrating on taking pictures with her SLR.

Watanabe Toru jumped down and came to her side: "You should also take a rest."

"...Hmm." Qingye Rin nodded slightly and sorted out the video he had just taken.

"You are really stubborn. Why didn't you tell me to take a rest earlier when you are so tired?"

"Nothing." Qingye Rin responded calmly.

Watanabe Toru suddenly laughed.

When he smiled, Qingye Rin immediately shot him with a cold gaze: "Watanabe-san, why are you laughing?"

"I remember the scene when the two of us were running when school first started."

At that time, both of them had 3 points of stamina, and they were competing for each other in the arena. When they met their opponents, no one wanted to be in last place.

Qingye Rin also laughed, and then mocked: "It's a pity that you betrayed me."

"No, no, there was no betrayal between us at that time, we were enemies."

Tamamo, who was sitting far away, was so beautiful, she pursed her lips at the smiling two people in a very girlish way.

Asuka Mai and Hanada Asako stared at Toru Watanabe who smiled.

The road up the mountain is lined with green trees and there are occasional gusts of wind. It will be very comfortable if you sit down and do nothing.

But as long as you take a few steps, even if there is no sun and there is a stream next to you, you will immediately start sweating and fall into a heat wave hell.

At an altitude of 599 meters, we kept walking and walking. When we reached the observation deck halfway up the mountain, the girls couldn't walk anymore and had to rest here for a long time.

The stone bench was hot from the sun. The girl brought a picnic cloth and spread it on the ground. Then she took out water and antiperspirant to do various tasks.

Watanabe Toru didn't rub their picnic cloth. As a country boy from Iwate Prefecture, he didn't mind the dirt on the ground at all and sat directly under a relatively clean maple leaf tree.

He raised his head and poured the warm oolong tea into his mouth. His Adam's apple rolled and he made a swallowing sound in his throat.
