Chapter 20 Effective Communication between the Arisukawa Family
Aoi Keisuke supported Arisugawa and continued to climb the stairs, and soon arrived at Kamaiwa Hall.
The mountain house is small, but it has a front hall where people can rest and eat.
After Qing Keisuke completed the registration, the rooms he ordered were two single rooms. When he checked the rooms, he found that each room was only about six square meters, small and cramped, and did not even have windows.
After checking other rooms, I found that there was one large room with a window and a view that could accommodate two quilts.
"How about changing to this one?"
Considering the safety of Yusukawa alone, and the beds in the large room were widely spaced, Qing Keisuke asked tentative questions.
Hearing this, Arisukawa was not hesitating whether to share a room with Aoi Keisuke, because the environment in front of him was actually more like a dormitory.
"Hmm...isn't it too expensive?"
"Not at all!"
Qing Keisuke turned around and went directly to the front desk to negotiate about changing rooms.
Arisugawa looked at his back and suddenly realized that he was going to spend the night with Keisuke Aoi.
This made her shy, and she suspected that the wavering she noticed on Keisuke Aoi on the plank road was actually an illusion.
Qing Keisuke quickly changed the room, the two of them put their luggage in the room and went to the front hall to eat.
——There is a simple bar similar to a convenience store, where you can sit and eat.
The manager of the mountain house quickly delivered two bowls of udon noodles. There were very few condiments in the bowls. They were as plain as the mountain house, only some shredded vegetables, dried shrimps and chopped seaweed.
But being able to eat a bowl of hot udon at an altitude of 2,790 meters is already a blessing.
Thanks to adequate rest, Arisukawa's symptoms of high reflexes have also recovered a lot.
At least when I smell the aroma of udon, my appetite has been restored.
She gathered her hair and tied it into a high ponytail, clasped her hands together and said softly, "I'm starting."
Sitting at a long low table, there is a narrow strip of glass on the wall that cannot be opened at all, acting as a window for lighting.
It's almost dark outside now, and faint traces of stars are gradually showing.
There is still a long fiery red streak on the horizon, which is still very stunning and beautiful when viewed through the window.
In the sky, there are tired birds returning to the forest. They fly in groups into the forest at the foot of Mount Fuji. The cries of mountain birds can be vaguely heard, echoing through the shade of the trees.
The footsteps and conversations of climbers can often be heard outside the mountain hut. Some of them will continue climbing until the eighth stage, or they may climb to the top overnight.
There are also many residents in Kamaiwa Hall. As more and more people come out of their rooms to eat, the front hall gradually becomes lively.
The long table was filled with middle-aged people with loud voices.
In this atmosphere, Arisukawa and Aoi Keisuke unconsciously sat closer to each other so that they could hear each other's voices clearly.
"Qinggui-kun, do we want to continue going up?"
"Um……"
Qing Keisuke glanced at her: "The original plan was to rest in the mountain house and watch the sunrise the next day."
Hearing this, Arisukawa said "Ah" and blinked his eyes. He was a little embarrassed to speak, but in the end he bravely said, "I want to try to see if I can reach the top."
Even though it may cause trouble to Qinggui-kun who is traveling with me, please forgive me for my willfulness.
Arisukawa doesn't want to leave any regrets, and he doesn't want to think about this memory in the future: It would have been better if he had climbed to the summit with Qing Kei-kun.
Looking at the girl's firm eyes, Qing Keisuke couldn't say no.
He nodded and agreed. Although there were some mistakes, with him by his side, there would naturally be no danger to Qichuan.
"But you have to do what you can," he added.
"I know~
Thank you, Qinggui-kun, even if I come out to play, I will cause you trouble."
"No need to say such words."
Aoi Keisuke didn't dislike Arisukawa's polite remarks, because the girl's tone was not unfamiliar, but revealed a dependence and intimacy.
After the two finished eating the udon noodles, under the guidance of the ranger, they left the mountain house and followed the stone road to find a trail other than the climbing route.
Each of them held a flashlight and walked among the dark rocks.
They were surrounded by desolate, gray-black gravel. After they were far away from the mountain houses, even the sound of human beings was far away from them.
The slightly cold mountain breeze from the high altitude blew in the face, blowing the girl's hair.
Arisukawa followed the light from his flashlight with his eyes. From time to time, the bright beam of light swayed to the boy's feet, casting a darker shadow on the rocks.
The path is not long and we reach the end soon.
There are several seats made of stones and a weathered wooden table.
The two of them sat down on the stone chairs and took a deep breath of the fresh mountain air.
"call--"
Being on a high mountain, when the moon rises from the distant horizon, it is lower than their line of sight, giving people the illusion of sitting on the Milky Way, overlooking the moonlight.
The stars in the sky were bright and bright. Arisukawa raised his head, his eyes blurred in the starlight.
She felt strong happiness at this moment, being able to see such a beautiful scenery with Qing Keisuke, leaving memories that she would never forget.
Qing Keisuke once said that they were stars that attracted each other, so she has been particularly fond of stars since then.
If she and Keisuke Aoi were both stars, which one would they be in the sky at this moment?
She tried to find her favorite two, and secretly named them in her mind. One was called Jie, and the other was called Bird.
They enjoyed the silence comfortably. After a long time, a sudden ringing of a bell interrupted Arisukawa's thoughts.
She took out her cell phone, looked at the caller, and suddenly took a breath of cold air.
"It's my dad!"
Qing Keisuke guessed: "I must have seen the note you left when I got home from get off work, right?"
Arisukawa actually immediately realized that her father was just showing concern, she quickly calmed herself down, and then reminded Qing Keisuke to stay quiet.
"Hey, dad~"
"Asuka, what are you doing now?"
The sullen voice of a middle-aged man came from the other end of the phone.
Arisukawa's tone was calm, with a hint of coquettishness toward his father: "I just finished eating with my friends, and I'm taking a rest now."
"Okay, what are you having for dinner?"
"Uh, Udon..."
"What a coincidence, dad is also eating udon now."
On the other end of the phone, there was laughter: "Which store do you think dad is at?"
"How could I have guessed it?"
Arisukawa complained: "As long as dad eats well."
She immediately noticed Qing Keisuke's interested gaze, quickly turned her head, and continued: "Dad, my friend is coming over, so I'll hang up the phone first."
"Well, let's have some fun before school starts. If you don't have a good rest at night, tell dad and I'll pick you up."
"Okay, thank you dad~"
Arisukawa's biological father never thought that the classmate in his eyes as a good daughter would be a man.
Asuka Arisukawa was currently talking to herself at an altitude of 2,790 meters above sea level.
After hanging up the phone, Arisukawa subconsciously put his hand on his chest and took a few long breaths to relieve his nervousness.
Then she whispered to Qing Keisuke: "Qing Keisuke, the feeling of deceiving your own family... is not good."
"Well, because Arisukawa is a good boy."
Qing Keisuke comforted him: "But telling a few lies that are not malicious, I think maybe it is part of youth."
"Yeah?"
Arisukawa held the mobile phone and tangled his fingers together.
She didn't regret climbing Mount Fuji with Aoi Keisuke, but she regretted not handling it better so that she could confess to her parents.
Seeing that she was still struggling, Qing Keisuke continued: "If Arisukawa feels bad, you can wait until the appropriate time in the future to confess to your parents and obtain their forgiveness."
"Um!"
Arisukawa nodded when she heard this. She felt that Aoi Keisuke's words made sense.
Dad, I'm sorry!
But not five minutes after she made up her mind, her phone suddenly received another email.
As soon as she saw the sender, she felt bad.
Because the sender of the email is: Mrs. Arisukawa.
The content of the email is: "Remember to take safety measures before getting married.
There are props for adults that your mother secretly placed in the middle of your mobile phone case. I wonder if they are suitable for Qingguijun’s size~
(smile.jpg)
One more thing, don’t bully your father just because he is a fool~"
"Ah!" Arisukawa was so shocked by the content of the email that his eyes went black.
"Why can my mother say such things!!!"
"Besides, when did you stuff that kind of thing into yourself?!"
"I'm not planning to do that kind of thing on Mt. Fuji with Aoi Kei-kun!"
She almost stopped holding the phone, and her face instantly turned red.
Just thinking about her mother's expression when she was writing the email made her feel so despairing that she wanted to jump off Mount Fuji in shame.
