Hongzi shook her head, "I didn't pay attention..."

After taking advantage of the conversation, the few people set off again, and the leader of Soya.

Akane Kirino followed Hongko and pushed her from time to time.

"I don't know what the mountaintop looks like."

"I have never heard anyone say that the scenery on the mountain is good...it should be...it should be more ordinary."

When he reached the mountain, Zong Gu looked back and saw that the sky had faintly faded a little darkness. The village below was still shrouded in a gray mist, and the outline could not be seen clearly.

"Can you still move?"

Hongzi breathed heavily, and her voice and head looked up made her feel troubled. Even stopping seemed to take a lot of effort, so she slowly walked around him.

"It's so weak." He whispered.

“…”

A sudden annoyance arose in his heart, but he had no strength to vent it. Hongzi continued to silence his head, and suddenly a touch of warmth was printed behind him.

She turned around and Zong Gu pushed gently, "Don't stop, keep going."

"Um……"

"If it's a flat road, I can carry you for a while. Unfortunately, the mountain road is too steep and a little dangerous."

Hongzi responded again.

It wasn't easy to push her forward, especially as she deliberately or unintentionally leaned her body on her hands behind her back, becoming more and more lazy.

"Hello."

“…”

Hongzi stood firm and continued to move up by himself.

Zong Gu looked back at the two people behind him.

Up to now, Akane Kirino has spoken much less. She held the thermos alternately with her hands, and she could still smile when she looked at her: "I can still walk."

"Yeah."

Asakiri looked the most delicate, but also because of his petite body, he was the most relaxed when fighting gravity, and he didn't have to bear anything. His state at this time looked similar to Akane Kirino.

"Continue up." Zong Gu looked at the sky and at the top of the mountain. This was an ordinary hill, only three or four hundred meters high, "not far away."

Nodding or responding, the three of them responded to him in their own way.

After climbing for a while, Kirino Akane said, "In the past, I only went to see the sunrise on New Year's Day. After going to the scene early next year, we will also go to see the sunrise."

"New Year's Day? You're thinking so far."

"Because you are climbing a mountain, how about it?"

Zong Gu did not look back, "Where do you want to go?"

"Of course I have to go to Kyoto at the beginning of the new year, so then go to Kiyomizu Temple?"

"There must be many people who think this way, and you won't be able to squeeze you to death."

Akane Kirino thought about it, and asked again: "Where is Soya I think it's good to go?"

"Of course it's Fuyun Shrine."

“Fuyun Shrine…”

Hongko looked back and looked back and forth among several famous shrines in her mind for a while, and suddenly she realized: "No."

It’s not that Kirino Akane looked down on the Fuyun Shrine of Guanyuan’s family, but she went to the beginning of the New Year and wanted to go to some larger and more famous temples or shrines.

"Then you go to Kyoto with Hongzi. I probably want to go to Fuyun Shrine to help."

Akane Kirino curled her lips, neither agreeing nor asking him to accompany them, but only said that she would make a decision until the end of the year.

After climbing for nearly ten minutes, the few people finally reached the top of the mountain.

The sky was a little brighter than before. With the hazy light and flashlight between the sky and the earth, Zong Gu glanced around and found a building similar to the observation deck not far away.

"It should be possible to sit there."

After resting for a while, Hongzi had already recovered, "I don't know, I haven't come up."

"Go and take a look."

Several people walked over and found that it was indeed an observation deck, but it was quite simple, with nothing but a three or four-meter-high platform.

When I climbed onto the platform, guardrails were set up around me, and warning signs of [No Climbing] were hung. There were two pairs of benches in the middle for people to rest.

Looking into the sky, Akane Kirino looked for a moment and said, "It's still a while before sunrise. Let's have a meal first."

Sitting on the bench, Zong Gu opened a cloth bag containing rice balls, which contained eight rice balls, two of each flavor, both big and small, just enough to eat.

"That's great. Salmon rice balls and dried plum rice balls are my favorite flavors."

"After all, this is a common hobby for the Japanese."

“Huh?”

"I have seen it on TV shows, and a media conducted a survey on Line: Whether it is a man or a woman, the favorite rice ball flavors are salmon, tuna mayonnaise, Ming Prince and dried plums."

Akane Kirino nodded while biting the rice ball, approving it.

"However, Soya knows which of these two flavors, do I prefer?"

Zong Gu picked up the flashlight and shone the two rice balls in her hand: "Plum Grilled Plum."

Akane Kirino opened her eyes wide, "How did you guess?"

"Because Akane always leaves her favorite for the back to eat." Hongzi next to her said.

She laughed, "I've been discovered."

"It's the opposite of mine." Hongzi licked the rice grains on the corner of her mouth, "Eating your favorite food when you are the hungry is the best gratitude for the food."

"Is that true?" Kirino Akane thought for a while, "I don't pay much attention to the taste of the food when I feel hungry."

Both of them had their own ideas and felt that the other person's words made some sense, so they asked the third person's opinion again.

"What do Soya think?"

"No difference, I eat faster." He sucked his fingertips and had already eaten the second rice ball.

"Ah, so fast!"

"However, if you have to choose..." Sonoya continued the topic just now, "I will eat my favorite first."

Hongzi bent her mouth and Akane Kirino looked at him: "Why?"

Zong Gu set his sights on the salmon rice balls in her hand, "because sometimes delicious food stays behind and may be stolen."

Akane Kirino immediately moved to the other side and grimaced at him.

"That's how boys are, so rude."

"That's right." Hongzi nodded.

He smiled at the two of them, picked up the thermos, opened it and poured a cup of hot tea, and took a sip.

"It seems there is only one cup." Hongzi suddenly said.

The so-called cup is the lid of the thermos cup. When Zong Gu discovered this, he had already put his mouth down and drank the tea in the cup before nodding.

"I'm not very thirsty." Akane Kirino continued to eat the remaining rice ball, not expecting more.

Hongzi didn't say anything.

Chao Wuling didn't speak yet. At this time, he had already finished two rice balls and looked at Zong Gu, "Tea."

He poured her half a cup of tea, "a little hot."

"Um."

She took it and sipped it in small sips, and it took half a day to finish the hot tea with half a cup of lid.

The sky in the distance became a little brighter again. Hongzi glanced at it a few times and said, "It's almost time for sunrise."

"Um!"

Akane Kirino was anxious, and then suddenly pounded her chest, as if she was choking.

Hongzi patted her back, and Zong Gu poured half a cup of tea, and she swallowed the rice ball before she could drink it.

"I was scared to death... I thought I was going to choke to death..."

Zong Gu put down the teacup, "What's the hurry?"

"It's going to be sunrise!"

She got up and walked to the guardrail, looking into the sky.

"It seems that this way, it will take at least a few minutes to get out of it." Zong Gu said.

"Shh! Don't disturb me - I missed the moment of sunrise, and today it will be in vain." She stared at the intersection of the mountains and the sky in the distance, and blinked for a long time.
