There is something wrong with my infinite flow teammates!

"If it was just for the dream, then it wouldn't be a big deal. The main thing is that she is still an extremely 'naive' person. This goes back to the issue of 'licking the dog'."

Under Yukino's puzzled gaze, Kitahara Sora told her the whole story.

From the opening of "Love Metronome" to the time it was facing being cut short, the 2D fanatic Akito Tomoya saw the book and promoted it extensively on his blog account with more than 200,000 fans, finally bringing Kasumigaoka Utaha's debut work back to life.

Then, the desperate beautiful girl writer was saved from nowhere.

After learning the reason, I made an appointment to meet the blogger with a grateful heart, and finally discovered to my surprise that my benefactor was a junior in the school.

When the two met, Aki Tomoya praised the book to the sky in front of her.

Teacher Xia Shizi, who had never had any romantic experience, felt so flattered after hearing his sincere praise. She thought she had met her soulmate and finally someone who understood her. She directly evolved this feeling of gratitude into a good impression between a man and a woman.

As the two of them got along, Teacher Kasumi Shiko felt that she and Aki Tomoya got along better and better, and her affection for him grew deeper and deeper.

Finally, one day, a 100,000-word love confession letter was handed to Tomoya Aki, but what followed was the true love that was torn to pieces.

After they stopped interacting with each other, Tomoya Aki acted as if nothing had happened. He watched anime normally, loved the things he liked normally, and met Kei normally.

Then, it was the beginning of the first season. The boy wanted to make a game on impulse, and ended up going to Kasumigaoka, whom he had deeply hurt, to ask her to write the script. The amazing thing was that she forgot the pain after her scar healed, and she actually agreed after much persuasion.

The story unfolds...

It took Kitahara Sora a full ten minutes to finish telling the story of Kasumigaoka, and then he found that Yukino fell into deep thought while listening. There seemed to be a strange look in her eyes, which finally turned into a soft sigh.

"So, Ms. Kasumigaoka actually knows that Aki Tomoya is using her, but she just doesn't want to accept it and is deceiving herself?"

"You can understand it this way, licking others like a poor puppy, begging for alms." Beiyuan Kong nodded and said, "We also have a joke over there. Cats meow, sheep bleat, and dogs bark..."

Yukino nodded as a matter of course, and even imitated the sound of a puppy "woof woof" in her mind. But as soon as Kitahara Sora opened his mouth, a long paragraph of words came out of his mouth.

"Are you there? What are you doing? Have you eaten? Have you slept? Go to bed early, drink more water, wear more clothes, don't stay up late, be careful not to catch a cold, go home early, remember to take medicine, I ordered takeout for you and him, good night."

Yukino was stunned. Even though she was so smart, it took her at least a minute to understand the meaning of this long string of words.

This is the sadness of a "lovesick person", which turns the infinite bitterness and helplessness in his heart into humorous ridicule and presents it in the form of a humorous and self-deprecating joke.

It is such a tragic story. In her original story line, the tragic girl's reason for existence is to serve others, so she is very pitiful.

This joke should sound very funny at first, but after coming to my senses, I feel that those so-called laughs will only turn into a sigh.

So Kitahara Sora kept paying attention to Yukino's expression, wanting to see what Yukino's first reaction was, but as time went on, he felt a little surprised.

Yukino didn't laugh, or maybe she never regarded this as a humorous joke.

She just stared at Beiyuan Kong in a daze.

After a long time, she slowly opened her mouth and a slightly cold voice came out of her mouth. Her expression was extremely complicated, and her tone seemed to be filled with deep sorrow.

"I don't understand what love is. I have heard countless love stories, romantic, sad, tragic, happy, ordinary, and vigorous. Classical novels always portray 'love' as incomparably great and moving. But I don't understand it, because I didn't understand what it felt like to love someone before..."

"I think love at first sight is ridiculous. Couples who have been together for a long time have many considerations before they discuss marriage... Or maybe beautiful love only exists in books and imaginations, and is just the groaning of suicidal poets."

Her eyebrows drooped, her tone became helpless, and there was a hint of sadness?

Seeing Yukino's strange feelings, Kitahara Sora felt inexplicably panicked, as if something was blocking his chest.

The sun suddenly became hotter, and the side of Yukino's face facing him fell into shadow. She felt a little gloomy. It was as if she was in the sun, but couldn't feel its warmth.

The radio in the car suddenly sounded, and we arrived in Tokyo.

"Taking the initiative is humble, being affectionate is a bootlicker, and falling in love at first sight is also lust after sight in my opinion. Falling in love over time also requires weighing the pros and cons. So, Kitahara-kun..."

Xue No asked softly: "What is love?"

Kitahara Sora opened his mouth and felt like he had a lot to say, but when he got to his lips he couldn't utter a single word.

Why do I feel so uncomfortable when I see Yukino like this?

what is love?

I don't know, but the only thing I know for sure is that seeing her in pain makes me feel uncomfortable too...

Yes, if you don’t really like someone, who would be willing to be a licker? If you don’t love someone deeply, who would be willing to be so humble?

Why did I only think about my own feelings yesterday? I stayed up all night thinking about how to face Yukino in the future. Why didn't I think about her feelings? Until now, I'm still avoiding it, afraid of something, and dare not think about it!

Why did she react so violently to the story of the dog-licker, and why was she deeply moved by the story of Kasumigaoka?

There was nothing abnormal about Yukino today, because she was just an ordinary girl, the girl he liked.

So this is ah!

If you ask her what she wants to buy, she will definitely not be able to answer. Maybe she hasn't thought about it yet...

Since she hasn't made up her mind, then make the decision for her. At least there are some things that she shouldn't have to bear alone.

Kitahara Sora slowly reached out his hand, gently stroked Yukino's cheek, and said softly: "I suddenly have a place I want to go. Since you are here, please accompany me."

Yukino slowly raised her head, her dark eyes suddenly became as deep as the starry sky, and she returned to the sunlight.

The half face that was swallowed by the shadow also regained light and formed a sweet smile. The sadness just now seemed to disappear in an instant.

"Ah."

Chapter 13: You Are the One

"If you want to climb Mount Fuji, why didn't you tell me in advance?" After getting off the taxi, Yukino stared at the sign of 'Fifth Station' beside the road and said helplessly: "Then I will change into suitable clothes."

"That's good." Kitahara Sora looked at the graceful Yukino, a gleam in his eyes, "You look very cute today, it would be a shame if you changed into mountaineering clothes."

"Cute?" Xueno was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously lowered her head to glance at her white dress. A blush appeared on her cheeks, and her watery eyes sparkled.

Girls are more concerned about what others think of them. When they occasionally change their hairstyle, or wear clothes that are inconsistent with their usual clothes, or buy cute new hairpins, they hope that someone will notice that they are different from usual at the first time.

The same goes for Yukino, because she is also a girl, so when Kitahara Sora suddenly said the word "cute" so bluntly, she was a little at a loss for a moment.

"So, I'm only cute today, right?" After a moment, the girl looked up at Kitahara Sora. Although her heart was beating uncontrollably, she still forced herself to keep a straight face and said teasingly, "Am I not cute in your eyes normally?"

"Yukino has always been so cute." Kitahara Sora nodded sincerely, his eyes fixed on her smooth and flawless calves, a look of approval on his face.

Why didn't I notice that Yukino's legs were so beautiful before? Was it because she didn't wear stockings today? Or did my mind change after I figured it out, so all the details I hadn't noticed before suddenly appeared?

"abnormal."

Noticing Kitahara Sora's gaze, Yukino's already flushed cheeks became even more shy, and even her ears were tinged with a layer of red. She subconsciously wanted to squat down and use her skirt to avoid that direct gaze, but after hesitating for a moment, she held back.

She just stood there at a loss, her little hands, which had nowhere to put, tightly grasping the hem of her skirt, and she was so nervous that her cute toes in her sneakers almost scratched the soles.

"She's really pretty." Yukino's coy look made Kitahara Sora unable to take his eyes away. Why didn't he realize that Yukino was so cute before? It was great to be able to find the 'lost' feelings again.

"So, you let me accompany you to this place just to satisfy the unknown dirty desires in your heart?" Yukino narrowed her eyes and looked at Kitahara Sora with a scrutinizing gaze. Although he looked very imposing, it reminded Kitahara Sora of the funny incident that happened when he was watching a live broadcast in his previous life.

After a certain gaming anchor and gold medal chef performed a very appetizing operation, he was still trying to explain the meaning of his action. However, before he could finish his words, his fans gave him gifts.

So, the gold medal chef read out expressionlessly: Thank you for the big plane that you are still stubbornly sending...

Yukino was the same, but she obviously noticed the strangeness in Kitahara Sora's eyes. In order to escape this unbearable atmosphere, she suddenly turned her head to look at the surrounding scenery and began to change the subject: "Why did you choose Mount Fuji as the location?"

"Are you going to choose a deserted place? Be careful next time." Kitahara Sora nodded as if he suddenly realized something. He looked at Yukino's expression that changed from shyness to anger. He stopped joking and took out a bottle of oolong tea from his ring and handed it to her.

"No matter where we are, I will call the police." Yukino glared at him but still took the bottle of oolong tea.

She unscrewed the bottle cap, placed her cherry-colored lips on it, took a sip, and asked in confusion, "Why do you suddenly want to climb Mount Fuji?"

After getting off the train, both of them were in a depressed mood, so they didn't communicate much. Yukino hardly said a word, but just followed Kitahara Sora silently.

Although she seemed to have changed her mood, her mind was still very confused and there was a feeling of sadness spreading throughout her. Perhaps it was the story of Kasumigaoka that touched her. After all, the two were in similar situations now.

She has someone she likes, but the person she likes doesn't like her. Although Yukino has figured it out on the train and will face the outcome calmly no matter what, seeing Kitahara Sora's attitude towards matters like love makes her completely disappointed.

He didn't realize that the key point of his feelings was not because of his low emotional intelligence, but because he didn't regard himself as a "woman" at all. All his tenderness towards himself was in the aspect of "family affection".

Although we have known each other for less than a year, I know him so well that I can even say that he has no secrets from me.

Due to the actual age difference, he only sees himself as the closest junior or 'stepsister'.

In this atmosphere, Kitahara Sora had no intention of speaking actively. He just changed buses silently and checked the route to his destination on his mobile phone.

That was how it was. It wasn't until she changed to the train again and got off at Shinjuku Station that Yukino realized what was going on while sitting in the back seat of a taxi. She watched the taxi drive away from the city, and she became more and more confused.

But this guy didn't even give Yukino a chance to ask questions. He got in the car and fell asleep leaning against the window. Is he really that sleepy?

"This is the symbol of the island country. I heard that the view from the top of the mountain is pretty good, so I thought since I'm in Tokyo, I might as well go up and take a look."

Seeing Yukino's current state, Kitahara Sora felt much better. At least she was not the sad girl she was before. Not giving her the chance to communicate was intentional. Yukino needed to be quiet.

The teasing just now was also intentional. Kitahara Sora hoped that Yukino would not maintain that "lost" mood, because seeing her sad would make him feel uncomfortable, and diverting her attention was the best way.

"So, this is just a decision you made on a whim?" Yukino looked down at her clothes again, then glared at Kitahara Sora, "You want me to wear this to accompany you on the mountain?"

"Does it matter?"

"Did you just check the bus route map when you planned to come here?"

Xue No looked a little helpless, and she held back her desire to complain, explaining, "Mount Fuji is fairly famous around the world, so why don't you learn more about it?"

Want to know other relevant information?

After hearing this, Kitahara Sora finally realized that Mount Fuji is 3776 meters above sea level, and there are an average of nearly 20 climbers every year. This is the 'Fifth Station', which is halfway up the mountain and is similar to a highway service station.

Vehicles can only take tourists here, and then they can only move forward on foot, which means that this is the starting point for climbing.

Looking forward, the door of this service station is closed. Is it closed?

And there were only me and Yukino in such a huge parking lot?

What's the situation?

No wonder the driver looked strange when he heard that I was going to the fifth station, but he didn't ask out of professional ethics.

Moreover, the guy was reluctant to come at first, saying that this route was not within his service area and it took more than three hours to drive from Shinjuku to here. In the end, he promised to give him a tip of 100,000 yen in addition to the normal fare before he became his grandson.

That is to say...

"This place is open to tourists in July, August and September. Only in these three months of the year will the snow on the top of the mountain completely melt."

Yukino looked toward the top of the mountain and pointed at the closed road. "Mount Fuji is not considered a high peak in the world, but in just the three months of its opening, hundreds of people are killed each year."

"Ah this..."

Bei Yuankong was stunned. He really had no information about this. It wasn't even June yet and the mountain was still closed. No wonder there was no one here.

"So, Kitahara-kun, we should be trapped here now."

Seeing Kitahara Sora being humiliated, Yukino smiled and pointed to several buses parked in the parking lot of the service station. "The last group of tourists who came to see the cherry blossoms left last month, and the drivers are on vacation."

"Besides, even in the hottest season of the year, climbers have to put on cotton jackets when they reach a certain altitude, so..."

Yukino glanced downward, the meaning was self-evident.

Seeing Kitahara Sora's thoughtful expression, Yukino put away her smile and asked in a slightly serious tone, "Are you unwilling to give up?"

Kitahara Sora raised his head, looked at Yukino and nodded slightly, "I want to go up there when I get to Tokyo."

"Do you really need me to go up with you?" the girl continued to ask with a smile. Although her expression was calm, her heartbeat quickened under the concealed smile, as if she was expecting something, but was afraid to hear the real answer.

"It has to be Yukino." Kitahara Sora thought for a moment and said affirmatively.

Yukino lowered her eyes and did not reply immediately.

Her breathing was a little rapid, and her heart seemed to be about to jump out of her chest!

This idiot!

It took me several hours to calm down and face it with a normal attitude. I almost gave up my original purpose of today, but why do you always let yourself lose your composure?

Why... do you want to tease yourself... intentionally or unintentionally?

Do you really not understand, or are you pretending to be stupid? If you really don’t understand, why do you say things that can cause misunderstanding?

I feel like this guy is a little different today, even a little abnormal?

Is it my imagination?

"It will take at least six hours to get to the top of the mountain from here, and it's almost five o'clock in the afternoon now." Yukino said softly.

"I had planned to spend the night on the top of the mountain."

"So, you have prepared everything except the mountaineering equipment?" Yukino's eyes flickered, and a layer of mist appeared in her clear eyes.

"There is always a camping tent in the ring, but it has never been used." Kitahara Sora stared at Yukino with burning eyes.

"Why are you so persistent all of a sudden? Is it just to conquer the highest peak in Japan?"

Facing Kitahara Sora's direct gaze, Yukino boldly met his gaze. She was actually a very considerate and gentle person who would always seriously consider the other person, but now she gave people a feeling of "getting to the bottom of things".
