For the peace of the Lonely Band, please sacrifice yourself!

Wang Yueshuo couldn't help but linger on that stunning face with bright eyes for a few seconds longer, then waved his hand modestly.

"By the way, Saku-san, I heard that the sea salt ice cream in Enoshima is delicious. Let's go and have some together."

"Sure." Upon hearing Yamada Ryo's invitation, Mochizuki Saku agreed without hesitation. After being stunned for two seconds, he looked at the calm girl suspiciously, "Wait, the reason you asked me to go with you is not because you want me to treat you, right?"

Mochizuki Saku had a clear understanding of Yamada Ryo's bad character and empty wallet.

"Well, I used my money to buy a bass, so I have no money this month." Yamada Ryo nodded.

Wang Yueshuo: “….”

The young man held his forehead helplessly, sighed as if he was used to it, and said, "Put it on the account, and when you have extra money, pay me back along with other expenses."

"You are such a good person, Saku-san." Yamada Ryo nodded with emotion and silently gave him a good guy card.

.........

"Anyway, let's create happy summer memories with everyone in the band today!" Before they knew it, the train had arrived at the destination of the girls' plan - Enoshima - from Shimokitazawa. Kita Yuyo breathed in the fresh air, as if she could smell the scent of the sunshine, which made her look refreshed, her eyes lit up, and she cheered.

"Great!!!" Ijichi Kouka and Yamada Ryo responded in unison.

Yamada Ryo: "Then I'm going to go get some sea salt ice cream first. See you later."

"Hey, who said we can move freely?" Hong Xia put her hands on her hips and frowned.

"Let's take a group photo as a souvenir, shall we?" Kita, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbed Yamada Ryo and Mochizuki Saku who were trying to run away with both hands, and suggested with a forced smile.

"Red Bean Paste Private Marseille!" The two elementary school students who were caught on the spot for sneaking out surrendered at the speed of light.

Of course, in the end, they still bought ice cream for five people. Each member of the ending band held one. Mochizuki Saku paid for it, and Yamada Ryo treated them.

"What a vast ocean!" Kita Ikuyo raised her head and cast her gaze toward the white sand beach and the azure ocean not far away. The sparkling waves hit the rocks, surged onto the beach one after another, and rolled up thousands of piles of snow.

"Pochi-chan, do you like the sea?" Turning his head, Kita saw Ichiri, a young girl with long pink hair blown by the sea breeze, staring at the ocean that was so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.

"Ah... You like it, the sea is so beautiful and comfortable." Goto Ichiri was startled by Kita-chan's cry, and her fair cheeks gradually turned a layer of cherry red, and she subconsciously quickened her tone. The girl who was in spring had not gone out to see the sea for a long time because of her social phobia, except for the last summer festival.

A delusion that only existed in my mind emerged in my mind.

At sunset, I walked barefoot on the beach with Wang Yueshuo, feeling the soft sand under my feet. I gently picked up a shell and held it high. The golden rays of light sprinkled down, coating the shell with a thin layer of gold, making it look like a precious glass.

Just thinking about it, Goto Ichiri's head starts to steam and she becomes a steam princess.

"Hey, beautiful ladies, come to my stall to eat when you have time?! Cute girls will get discounts~" Hearing the noisy noise, Goto Ichiri subconsciously looked not far away and saw a frivolous man with a cool look and party-crazy glasses stopping in front of the two girls and trying to sell something.

“Wow... he’s a real queue maniac, so scary..." Goto Ichiri silently took two steps back.

"He seems like the kind of person we can't handle at all." Ijichi Hongxia also complained.

"What a model of frivolous man." Yamada Ryo commented.

"He's the kind of person who won't stop pestering us once he gets pestered. We'd better take a detour and leave the beach as soon as possible." Kita frowned and suggested.

"Then let's go somewhere else." Wang Yueshuo also saw the group of frivolous men harassing women, but before he could finish his words, the next second he saw the cool sister with long brown wavy hair knock him to the ground with one punch, foaming at the mouth.

"Hiss..." Wang Yueshuo took a breath and almost thought that Sister Xingge had come.

"Then shall we go to the snack street next?" Looking at the time on the phone, it was getting late. Kita walked at the front of the team according to the travel plan, leading everyone to buy octopus pancakes, which were said to be made by pressing octopus with a ton of force, and big Buddha pancakes with red bean filling that were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

"It's delicious." Goto Ichiri praised as he tasted the thin and crispy octopus pancake.

"I have an extraordinary sense of deliciousness." Yamada Ryo, who was the first to identify the octopus pancake as a delicacy at first sight, ate it with relish.

"This one is big and cute, very photogenic!" Kita raised the selfie stick to find the angle to take a photo while eating, which made Mochizuki Saku somewhat amused and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up: "You are worthy of being our social minister!"

"Hehe~" Hearing Mochizuki Saku's praise, Kita Ikuyo's mouth curled up slightly, shook her head and said modestly: "This is what I should do. After all, I am the social minister of the band."

"Since you look photogenic, why don't we all take a group photo together?" Ijichi Hinikaka said with a smile, looking at Kita Ikuyo.

"Okay, okay, I'll take the photo, everyone come closer!" Kita adjusted the angle of the selfie stick.

"Pochi-chan, come closer, you're almost out of the shot."

"Shuo Jun, you just stand in the middle."

"Shuo-san, don't squeeze me, I'm enjoying the food."

"I'll count to three, okay?"

"1!"

"2!"

"3!"

"octopus------!!!"

The girls shouted in unison, and their crisp voices made Wang Yueshuo, who was in the middle, feel as if he was in a forest, with yellow orioles singing and spring swallows flying around him. The warm sunshine shone on him, and the soft breeze brushed his body. He felt relaxed and happy, and his mind was clear.

"Let me see how it goes. Hehe, it's really nice."

"I want to buy another octopus pancake, Saku-san, lend me some money."

"........Are you pushing it a little too far, Ryo-san?"

Goto Ichiri took another bite of the pancake in his hand and suddenly felt that it tasted better than before.

Is it because I ate octopus pancakes with Shuo and Hongxia, and weaved beautiful memories of summer together? Because of your words, I will remember the present moment firmly, Pochi slowly closed his eyes and thanked him devoutly.

Chapter 43: Are You Brave?

We bought octopus pancakes on Komachi Street, and then went to a restaurant to enjoy the local delicacy - whitebait rice bowl. The girls held seasonal fruit iced tea in their hands.

According to Kita Ikuyo's plan, the band got off at Enoshima Station, looked at the sea after leaving the station, walked through the commercial street, and finally reached Enoshima Shrine. According to her research, you can choose to climb the stairs to the shrine, or you can pay to take the elevator.

However, Ikuyo Kita believes that teenagers of this age should have a strong body and a healthy spirit, and personally experiencing mountain climbing is a good opportunity to exercise. In addition, the members of the Ending Band are almost all indoor bands, so they need to be physically energetic.

"Hey! We have to go all the way to the top!" Kita Ikuyo said in a clear voice, with one hand on her waist and the other pointing to the Ejima Shrine not far away.

"Hey... take the stairs?" Hearing this, Yamada Ryo was shocked, and her originally calm expression instantly broke, like a cat with its fur standing on end. The girl turned her head in amazement and looked at Kita, who was very excited and had a faint glow in his eyes, and uttered a puzzled sound in disbelief.

Yamada Ryo: Are you kidding?

"?" Wang Yueshuo also silently typed a question mark, raised his head slightly and looked towards the bronze torii gate under the lush green in the distance, and the vermilion building located in the deep green.

Hiking?

Or in the summer?

Although Mochizuki Saku has been jogging in the morning for many years to keep fit, climbing a mountain is just a piece of cake for him with his physique. However, for Goto Ichisato, who has been a stay-at-home for 16 years, a veteran homebody, and is physically weak, climbing a mountain is already a kind of torture, right?

Mochizuki Saku glanced at Pochi-chan beside him with some worry. She was blinking her clear and stupid big eyes, following the pace of the large group blankly.

"The most beautiful scenery in the world is the scenery you see when you reach the top by your own strength, isn't it?" Kita Ikuyo asked nonchalantly, posing as a senior climbing expert, "Only when you climb to the top of the mountain can you see more beautiful scenery........."

"Don't say that." The physically weak Yamada Ryo sighed.

"Keep climbing!" Kita Ikuyo rolled up his sleeves and spoke with high morale.

"I don't want it!" Yamada Ryo refused without hesitation.

"Goto-san too, let's work hard together!" Kita Ikuyo ignored her and turned around to look at Pochi-chan and encouraged her.

"Ah...ah this..." Goto Ichiri had a deep understanding of her own physical condition. She looked at the Ejima Shrine on the top of the mountain and swallowed.

Kita Ikuyo switched to another target and continued to persevere: "Ijichi-senpai, you should be able to crawl here, right?"

Ichichi Hongxia smiled bitterly: "I'm not that interested in it."

"Senior Mochizuki can definitely do it, right?!"

"Forehead......."

Just as Mochizuki Saku was about to refuse, a golden flash suddenly burst out in front of his eyes. Kita Ikuyo was like a fairy from heaven, radiating dazzling light all over her body. Her golden eyes reflected countless bright lights, revealing an expectant expression.

————Kita Halo, start!

"Come on, let's go!!!"

"Wow, Kita-chan has never shone so brightly." Kita's gaze was clearly on Mochizuki Saku and she was merely a bystander, but Ijichi Hongxia felt as if she was facing the bright sun and was burned by her scorching residual heat. She subconsciously squinted her eyes.

"Why...why?!" Yamada Ryo covered his eyes and spoke with difficulty.

"My cheerful aura that is usually restrained appears...under the sunshine..." Pochi-chan instantly hid from beside Mochizuki Saku and behind Hongxia and Liang to avoid being melted by the light and heat brought by the shining Kita.

"Damn it, has the limiter been lifted?"

Even the spectators who were watching were in such a mess, so Wang Yueshuo, who was facing such a beautiful woman, naturally could not escape it. The young man could not help but stare at her in a daze, and was stunned for several seconds.

"Senior, your silence means you agree?" Kita's eyebrows curved, and the corners of his lips curled up playfully. Facing the boy's clear gaze, he smiled and said, "Great! Let's go hiking together!"

The cool sea breeze with a damp smell lifted the girl's long red hair, which flew in the wind, just like a delicate peony blooming.

............

"Mina-san, hurry up and come up~~~~~" After climbing up several stone steps in a row, Kita Ikuyo waved to the other members who were crawling at a snail's pace without blushing or breathing hard, and encouraged them loudly.

"I can't do it anymore. I can't walk anymore." After the 'long journey', Yamada Ryo lost his former calmness. His cold and calm face was covered with sweat, his eyes were dull, and he moved his legs mechanically like a zombie.

"I'm being left further and further behind by Kita-chan." Ijichi Hongxia also couldn't stand it anymore. She stretched out her arm to wipe the sweat beads across her forehead, looked up at Kita Ikuyo who was high up, and said helplessly.

Not to mention Goto Ichiri's condition, which was comparable to the strawberry ice cream she had at noon. Both her physical and mental strength were exhausted. The stone steps in front of her were spinning in her sight and began to rotate rhythmically clockwise. Her body under the pink sportswear swayed from side to side like a weak willow. If it weren't for Mochizuki Saku holding her up, she would have collapsed to the ground and would not have been able to get up again.

"I can't go on..." After a long time, they finally arrived at the Zhuntorii. Ijichi Hongxia stopped instantly, found a place under the shade of a tree, supported herself on the ground with her hands, closed her eyes, and let out a long cry to the sky.

"I don't care about the beautiful scenery, I don't care!" Beside Hongxia, Yamada Ryo was panting, lowering his head with a gloomy face, and complained palely.

"You two hold on, we've just started climbing." Kita Ikuyo looked at them helplessly, with her hands on her hips encouragingly.

"Let's take a breath."

"Okay then, let's all take a break first." Kita Ikuyo finally gave in.

"I will never go hiking again, even if I die." Yamada Ryo deeply realized the cruelty of outdoor sports.

"Kita-chan is really full of energy..." Ijichi Hongxia felt relieved.

Mochizuki Saku supported Goto Ichiri's delicate body and placed her safely next to Hongxia, enjoying a short break so as not to turn into 'Pochi-chan' under the scorching sun.

"Does Kita-san often go hiking?"

Mochizuki Saku looked at Kita who looked like nothing had happened, and couldn't help but be a little surprised that Kita Ikuyo's physical strength was ranked TOP 1 among the four girls in the ending band. But when he thought about Kita-san being a sunny and lively person with many friends and MAX social ability in real life, he felt that it made sense.

"Well, I like mountain climbing very much. Ever since I first climbed to the top of a mountain and saw the beautiful scenery, I fell in love with mountain climbing." Kita answered with a smile. It was not difficult to tell from the sparkle in her eyes and the excitement in her tone that she was expressing her true feelings.

"I like some outdoor sports, such as morning jogging and badminton."

Chapter 44: The Power of Money

"Morning jog? Are you interested in this too?" Mochizuki Saku was a little curious, not knowing that this was the bait specially picked out by Kita Ikuyo, waiting for him, the little white fish in the waves, to take the bait.

Hearing Senior Mochizuki's question, Junior Kita's lips curled up and she smiled faintly:

"Because if I don't exercise, I'm worried that I'll gain weight in my stomach. If I don't control my body shape, I'm always afraid that I'll become a debu in the future, and then I won't be beautiful."

"And sticking to morning jogging can strengthen my physique, improve my immunity, and improve my mental state. This will make me look younger and more energetic, and I can face a new day in the best condition." Kita-chan finished speaking, and muttered softly: "The meat I eat for meals never grows to the place I want it to grow."

He glanced resentfully at his flat, broad chest.

Wang Yueshuo nodded and asked, "What time do you usually start running?"

Kita Ikuyo is right. The air is fresh in the morning and running for a while will make people feel energetic. It can not only enhance physical strength and increase the metabolic rate of the day, but also make the body flexible and the mind quick, which helps to improve work and study efficiency.

Therefore, Wang Yueshuo also likes morning jogging. Feeling the cool morning breeze passing through both sides of his body and gently caressing him makes him feel refreshed.

"In the summer, it's usually six in the morning." Kita Ikuyo thought for a moment, "The temperature is just right at that time, not too hot or too cold. And I heard that at six o'clock, the air is fresh and has a high oxygen content, so it's refreshing to run."

"........."

After chatting for about five or six minutes, Mochizuki Saku and Kita Ikuyo agreed to go for a morning run together when they had time. Goto Ichiri came back to her senses in a daze, opened her eyes, and vaguely saw the red and white building not far away with the words "Enoshima Escalator" clearly written on it. She was about to cry.

It’s over, it’s all over! I finally don’t have to climb mountains anymore!

Goto Ichiri pointed at the elevator in front and said breathlessly:

"Elevator, ok...it looks like I can take the elevator up!"

“Oh————!” Mochizuki Saku and Ijichi Kouka turned their heads suddenly and exclaimed in surprise.

"Thank you for your help." Yamada Ryo slowly shed tears of relief and gratitude.

Kita Ikuyo was indignant, closed her eyes and shouted angrily: "Go up the stairs!!!"
