I loaded the dream game

In the end, Xia Zhi chose to go with the girl.

It’s not that he was convinced by the girl, or bewitched by her “beauty”, it’s simply because the place Lily said she wanted to go happened to be the direction Xia Zhi planned to go.

In that case, there's nothing wrong with accompanying her for a while.

By the way, before leaving, the girl went back to the house and made a sandwich for Xia Zhi, which saved him the trouble of going downstairs to buy breakfast.

"Our goal today is to reach the top of the mountain next to the Kurushima Kaikyo Bridge in Ehime."

Lily showed the boy the electronic map on the tablet and explained:

"Over there, we can see the structure of the wall and the bridge at the same time. If necessary, we can also investigate the bridge to see if we can find a way to cross it."

According to the girl, the purpose of the club she founded was to climb over the wall surrounding Shikoku. Because they wanted to go outside Shikoku to carry out club activities like those heroes, they were called the "Brave Club".

The purpose is completely different from the "Brave Club" in Xia Zhi's memory... Although it sounds like it has a higher level and seems to be doing great things, considering what the girl actually wants to do, it is impossible to compare which one is more serious.

"So, how are you going to get there?"

After looking at the distance between the target location on the map and here, Xia Zhi asked.

"Don't worry, I have planned the route! I am good at considering every aspect before taking action~!"

She said proudly.

It is hard to tell that this strange girl, whose words and actions are very different from those of her peers and who runs to the rooftop to distribute middle school remarks and flyers in order to recruit members, is actually a completely different brainiac from Yakuya.

Considering that she was willing to take the risk of being considered as having a premature love affair and being talked about behind her back last night, she still fulfilled her "promise" to help me find a place to stay... From another perspective, she is actually very proactive?

Since there's no rush, I'll just walk with her... After all, she just made me an extra breakfast, so I can just take a walk after dinner.

To be honest, it tastes pretty good, Xia Zhi thought.

"Then let's go!" the girl shouted, raising her arms.

…Although I said this with great vigor beforehand

"Oh... It's so hot... My legs are so sore, I can't take it anymore... I'm going to die..."

Before she even reached the tram stop, the girl, who had walked less than two kilometers, was so exhausted that she was out of breath and could hardly walk.

If you feel it's heavy, why don't you carry it in the first place?

"If we want to investigate, observation equipment is necessary!"

The girl still insisted.

Xia Zhi felt that he should take back his previous comment that he had made for a moment, thinking that she still had a pretty good brain.

After sighing helplessly, Xia Zhi helped her take the schoolbag.

"call……"

Feeling a lot more relaxed immediately, Lily breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him, and a beautiful smile appeared on her face... When she wasn't doing those strange things, she looked like a normal beautiful girl.

But having personality isn't a bad thing.

Xia Zhi thought.

Not long after, the two arrived at the tram station.

Because it was the weekend, there were not so many people on the early bus, so Lily was able to find a seat and sit next to Xia Zhi. She enjoyed the air-conditioned air in the car and fanned herself with her hands, looking like she was saved.

Following the route planned by the girl, after more than two hours in the car, she finally arrived at the destination.

Xia Zhi woke up the girl who was sleeping on his shoulder and got out of the car with her.

There are no trams or buses on the rest of the route, so they need to go to the foot of the mountain next to the bridge by themselves.

However, based on the physical strength the girl had shown before, she wouldn't be able to walk such a long distance in one go, right?

Although the route was planned in every detail, even some unexpected situations were taken into consideration, my own physical strength was not taken into account at all.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but recall the rooftop at that time. She didn't seem to have considered the fact that there was a high probability that she would not be able to escape the teacher's capture.

It seems like this hasn't happened once or twice.

...Is this kid stupid?

Xia Zhi thought about it and shook his head. Fortunately, there seemed to be a bicycle rental service here, so he chose to rent a bicycle, let the girl sit on the back, and he pushed the bicycle in front.

The girl felt a lot more relaxed now. She sat in the back seat with her legs swinging. Her petite body meant she couldn't reach the ground without having to tuck her feet in, which made things a lot more convenient.

"Are you thinking about something bad?"

Lily looked skeptical.

"No."

Xia Zhi flatly denied it.

This characteristic is considered an advantage in a particular situation, so it can't be considered a bad thing, right?

Lily tilted her head and thought about it, but did not continue asking. She raised her eyes and looked into the distance. She could see the bridge in the distance.

“Has Xiazhi been to that bridge?”

“I’ve been there.”

Xia Zhi replied...

It should be said that he had visited the three bridges that connected the four countries to the outside world when he was on a date with his girlfriend... although he was with different girlfriends.

Lily heard this and showed a curious look on her face: "What does it look like over there?"

"nothing special."

Xia Zhi replied: "It is no different from what you see in this position."

is it?

Lily thought about it, but didn't show any disappointment. She just kept silent, still sitting in the back seat, swinging her legs gently, watching the road beneath her feet moving backwards with the turning of the wheels, quietly listening to the sound of the wind blowing slowly past her ears and the footsteps of the boy in front of her, not knowing what she was thinking.

It wasn't until the boy stopped that she came back to her senses.

"Huh? Are you here?"

Lily looked around and found that they had reached the foot of the mountain where they were going without knowing it.

She didn't know why, it should have been at least half an hour's journey, but she felt like it didn't take that long... Was she really that engrossed in her thoughts just now?

After shaking her head, Lily jumped off the bike, and the breeze brought by the air flow blew something above her head.

The girl was stunned for a moment, then she realized that there was a sun hat on her head without her noticing.

...No wonder I didn’t feel any heat at all on my back after staying in the sun for so long.

But... where did he get this from?

"It's okay if you don't give it back to me." Xia Zhi said this to her as he parked the bicycle in an empty space at the foot of the mountain that looked like a parking lot and was deserted.

After all, we still have to walk a section of mountain road later, plus the time it takes to get back, so it might be okay to wear it first.

……Yeah?

Lily heard this and tilted her head to think about it.

Anyway

"Thank you~"

She thanked Xia Zhi, took her schoolbag off the bicycle, and walked towards the foot of the mountain in high spirits.

"Time waits for no one! Let's continue our journey! Summer Solstice members!"

When did I become a member? Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

On the other side, feeling the coolness brought by the sun hat on her head, the girl took a deep breath.

I'm the department head, I can't leave everything to my members, right?

For the next part, I have to work harder and I can’t let him help me like this anymore!

She made this decision in her heart.

However, it wasn't long before

"..."

Standing in front of the endless steps leading to the top of the mountain, looking at the towering and steep mountain in front of her, the girl couldn't help but fall silent.

.......

Chapter 1152: The Sudden Transformation of Trees into a Sea

“Hu…ha…ha…”

The girl walked up the hillside breathlessly, gasping for breath uncontrollably, and sweat dripped from her smooth cheeks.

If she still had the energy to complain about being tired before, now she has no energy at all.

"Wait... wait... don't leave me..." She stretched out her hand weakly to Xia Zhi.

Oh, I still have some strength.

Xia Zhi stopped and turned to look at the pale-faced girl behind him. He held her hand to prevent her from falling down due to exhaustion, and asked considerately:

"Do you need me to carry you?"

"Need not……"

Lily shook her head weakly. Crystal beads of sweat fell from her hair and face as she moved. She looked as if she had been fished out of the water.

After standing there and resting for a while, she finally regained some strength and answered while panting.

"Just let me...rest for a while..."

By the way, this was the third time she had said this on the way. And now they were only about a third of the way to the top of the mountain.

This child, isn't his physique a little too poor? Xia Zhi couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Xia Zhi’s physical strength used to be very poor, but it was only due to lack of exercise, not to this extent... You know, he is the one who helps carry the heaviest schoolbag now.

The girl's physique seems to be much worse than the average person.

Looking at the pale, red-haired girl standing there gasping for breath, Xia Zhi thought for a moment and did not let go of her hand. He tried to mobilize a little bit of divine power and transmit it to her.

"Woo..."

Lily's body trembled slightly, and her originally pale cheeks regained a hint of blood color and became a little rosy.

"What's wrong?" Xia Zhi asked, tilting his head slightly.

"No...nothing..."

She hurriedly shook her head, loosened her grip on the boy's hand, and said in a panic with a slightly red face:

"I, I've rested enough... Let's continue on our journey!"

It seemed that the divine power was still of some use to her, as she recovered to full strength without much rest.

Not long after, the girl discovered this herself.

For the rest of the journey, she hardly needed to rest, as if she had endless energy in her body, which supported her to climb to the top of the mountain in one breath.

Lily lowered her head and looked at her hands, her eyes filled with surprise.

With her knowledge, it is not impossible to explain the current phenomenon.

But... Logically speaking, only when a person is on the verge of death or seriously injured will a large amount of adrenaline be secreted to temporarily forget fatigue and pain.

And you will encounter this situation...

"Could it be... that I'm going to die?" she murmured to herself.

Summer Solstice: "..."

There's no need to be so pessimistic, right?

"Maybe it's a blessing from God." After thinking about it, he said this.

"I won't believe anything I haven't seen before." Lily put down her hands and replied decisively.

It turned out to be the case.

It seems that seeing is believing.
