The departure route for several people is based on the comprehensive consideration of the two routes of "Nearest Route" and "Route with the Most Scenic Nodes".

The road avoids the commercial areas of the island so well that Asama's hair dye can only be purchased on the return detour after climbing the mountain.

The ultraviolet rays on the seashore are strong,

Except for the pineapple-headed keyboardist of the Dead Samurai Band, Boruto Okubo, who did not wear a hat, the others all wore sunshade props.

The band's drummer, Seiji Koyanagi, put on a hat that opened to a parasol and put on a white sun-protective suit, and the whole person looked tight. According to Okubo, Koyanagi spent the morning just applying sunscreen, including wiping his bald head under his umbrella hat.

Blue-haired bassist Eimi Shiina is holding a parasol with graffiti printed with teeth and claws, and the whole person looks full of punk.

It feels safe to be surrounded by a group of artists, and Asama barely feels the presence of eyes focused on him.

Being a backdrop for five people at the same time is a good experience for Asama Stasui who aspires to become a Kage's powerhouse.

It would have been nice if the temperature had been 10 degrees lower today and there was a cable car up the mountain.

Asama, who was still weak on hiking in such a hot weather, just wanted to escape into an air-conditioned room immediately and catch up on sleep.

Where there is sun, there is never a shadow missing.

And where there is an immortal river, sweet and fresh laughter will never be missing.

It can be seen that the immortal river is a more beneficial existence than the sun.

Even if she is the only one who laughs, the atmosphere of the whole field will be pleasant.

Compared to the hiking competition, they are already behind most of the teams, like a pure sightseeing group.

In the sand made of black stones, there are scattered small unnamed flowers blooming on the scattered weeds.

A few children rushed to Asama's side, or Immortal River to be exact.

"Sister, sister, are you from Tokyo?"

"That's right~"

A little girl in bib pants grabbed the corner of Immortal River's clothes,

"Tokyo—is it amazing?"

"Hahaha~ It's very powerful~ But if the sea breeze blows, it's more comfortable here~"

"Does that mean that Tokyo is not as powerful as Hachijo?"

"Each is powerful in its own way~ But if you study hard, you will meet more powerful people when you come to Tokyo to go to university~"

"Eh – I don't like to read. But, this, sister, here you go. ”

The little girl handed the immortal river a small ring made of grass and flowers, the delicate size of the ring when it was too big, when the bracelet was too small.

Immortal Chuan naturally touched the little girl's head and said happily,

"Wow~ Super beautiful garland~ Thank you~ As a thank you, how about my sister blowing a song for you~?"

"Whistling?"

Immortal Chuan raised her left arm like a messenger of the wind, stretched out her palm in the direction of the sea, and a finger-wide weed blown by the sea breeze was gently caught by her.

"No, it's blowing leaves~"

As soon as the words fell, a high note like a birdsong swayed up, and the immortal river blew Takahashi Yu's "ヤキモチ jealousy".

It's obviously a song with a love theme, but it blows out the melodiousness of a breeze transiting.

Eimi Shiina followed very tacitly with a deep voice, playing the bass part, and humming to the rhythm of the immortal river.

Seiji Koyanagi raised his mouth "O" and used the middle three fingers of his two hands as drum sticks, striking the sometimes bulging and sometimes sunken cheeks, and the lively and pleasant drum beat poured out of his mouth densely.

HIROTO OKUBO HOOKED UP, COVERED HIS MOUTH, AND MADE A B-BOX SOUND, A RAPID SOUND, AS IF IT WAS PRONUNCIATION TECHNIQUES SUCH AS BASS AND LIPROLL.

Eimi Shiina turned around and gave Okubo a kick, so he had to give up the "electric fart of the electric sound" and match the high-pitched harmony.

While blowing grass, Immortal River gave Futami and Asama a look, so that these two could join in.

Futami looked at the children with wide eyes on the side, smiled and nodded, and also joined the harmony part.

Asama coughed lightly, imagined his voice, shook his head, and snapped his fingers after him.

Many children have begun to walk and jump.

Originally, in the eyes of these children, except for the big sister who loved to laugh, everyone else looked very difficult to mess with.

But at the moment, it seems that these strange-looking people are not so scary.

On the path by the beach of Hachijojima,

The improvised A Cappella Orchestra marched briskly towards the summit of Mt. Hachijofuji, followed by more and more small tails, which dragged on longer and longer, and even followed by many tourists and adults.

At the end of the song, the immortal river was seamlessly connected, and the song "Riding on the Back of the Silver Dragon" was blown again.

As a classic repertoire of national treasure singer Miyuki Nakajima, this song has a high national popularity, and this time many children also began to sing along under the leadership of Eimi Shiina.

The sun was even more dazzling at noon, and it seemed that it was almost 11 o'clock, and a few people were still on the west coast road of Hachijojima, leading the children to stroll.

Pass by the scenic spot called "Minamihara Senjojiki", where large areas of volcanic lava formed by the cooling of the sea water form a black reef on the coast, and in the distance is an active volcano called Hachijo Island.

It is said that this is a great place to watch the sunset and the starry sky, but unfortunately they will leave Hachijojima in a few hours.

In the Izu Islands, there are many other volcanic islands located in the Fuji Volcanic Belt.

As a native of Ito, Asama has never even been to the nearest Oshima, after all, there are no travel funds in rural schools, and it is not realistic for students to travel at their own expense.

So looking at these lush islands in the sea is not boring now.

All in all

The last 50 places in this trekking race must have a place for Asama, Futami, and Immortal River.

But seeing that everyone was happy, Asama didn't point out the time problem in disappointment, but sighed secretly and continued to snap his fingers with both hands to beat the rhythm for the singers.

There are very few cars on Hachijojima, and occasionally a sightseeing bus passes by.

The sea is calm and the breeze is gentle, so much so that the singing and blowing of the A Cappella orchestra is the main theme on the west coast of the island.

Asama counted the merits of the orchestra leader Riyo Immortal, and also remembered the secret of Jeff Bezos's success-

Laugh out loud often.

Earn the respect of the wise man (Asama still water) and the love of the children.

Win the appreciation of sincere critics and withstand the betrayal of hypocritical friends.

Appreciate something beautiful.

Make the world a little bit better.

Know that some lives (even one) are made easier by your presence.

Understood, as long as you give Immortal Chuan a painful backstab, Japan will give birth to a female business giant comparable to Bezos.

Futami clapped her hands lightly on her chest, pacing and singing softly, the brim of her sunhat and the girl's green silk moving with the wind, as if all the sea breeze was circling her.

She beckoned across the road to a little girl who had stopped in front of her to stare at her, and the little girl shyly slipped into a pizzeria.

Looking at the slightly lost Futami, Asama didn't hold back a smile.

As a result, this expression was looked at by the great myojin of the second sight.

【Ding】

[Acquired Skill: Miracle Finger Flapping Lv.1.]

Skill description: The success rate of snapping fingers is increased by 100%; The amplitude of the timbre is increased in moderation, and the loudness is greatly increased; After snapping his fingers, the skill user's luck is slightly increased for a certain period of time. 】

What is this BUG skill?

Asama looked at the two great gods of the second sight while singing and smiling.

It turns out that the happier the plug-in adult, the stronger the skill?

Bidding farewell to the islanders, the Dead Samurai Band received two backpacks of souvenirs.

In addition to fruits, garlands, bouquets, shells, stones, toys, etc., there are also some inexplicable miscellaneous items, all of which are laughed down by the Immortal River.

Immortal Kawakami was in his last life, maybe it was Wei Jue who entered the city and was thrown by the fans.

Asama, who was temporarily requisitioned as a photographer, took a few group photos of the three girls and the children with a blank face when everyone was separated.

After Immortal Chuan saw the photo, his eyes lit up, and he admired Asama's Paiyun palm full of recognition, but he was dodged by Asama.

Because of the blessing of the three skills of [somersault], [balance] and [circus juggling], Asama, who has 6 physical strength and 6 agility, can already naturally make some difficult acrobatic moves.

Seeing Asama looking at himself with defensive eyes, Immortal Kawa showed his 16 white teeth, closed one eye, raised his hand and gave a thumbs up, and then stretched out his index finger to turn the gesture into a pistol aimed at Asama.

“Biang~~~”

Asama resisted the urge to cover her chest and pretend to be dead, and did not cooperate with the performance of this energetic beautiful girl.

At this time, Asama felt that the blue-haired girl looked at her with a murderous look.

Didn't do anything to offend her, did you?

At noon, on the way up the mountain, there are no shops for lunch.

A few people ate some biscuits at random, drank a few sips of mineral water, and continued to set off.

They all seemed to forget about the penalty of finishing 50 in the last 50 of the trek, and they didn't mean to rush at all, but instead enjoyed the hike immersively.

Immortal Chuan and the two male members of the Dead Samurai form a multi-talk comic team, gags along the way.

The three men walked on the 20-degree slope on the mountaineering trail.

Seeing a slight sweat on her forehead, Asama took her woven bag in the color of the French flag, which contained at least 2 bottles of water, as well as gifts such as volcanic stones and pebbles from the children.

"Wow, it's Ashitaba~"

Immortal River found plants more than a meter tall and serrated at the edges of their leaves beside the mountain road.

"Oh ~ Rishi-chan, Ashitaba tempura in Hachijo Island is famous~"

Immortal River plucked a few leaves, examined them, and handed them to everyone with a smile.

"Tomorrow leaves are also called longevity grass, and the leaves and rhizomes can be eaten raw~"

Out of belief in the Immortal River, Asama tried to taste the plant of unknown origin.

The sweet feeling, slightly bitter, chewed and swallowed in the throat, there is a sweet taste like tea floating.

"It is said that this plant was discovered by Xu Fu Dongdu~ You can restore HP after eating~"

Immortal River enthusiastically told everyone the legend of Hachijo Island and Xu Fu, which came at her fingertips, and the head was the appearance of the Tao, and those who didn't know thought that this Hachijo Island was her hometown.

"It's not a matter of course to do a good travel strategy before traveling~~~"

Surprisingly, Koyanagi is also a botanical enthusiast, and along the road and the Immortal River, he tells everyone about a series of subtropical vegetation on Hachijo Island.

Before you know it, halfway through the mountain, the time is close to 12 o'clock.

【Ding】

[Skill Acquired: Herbology Lv.1]

His gaze moved to the face of the great Myojin of Futami again.

As the only chosen person of the Great Myojin, Asama lamented this heavy divine grace.

After walking the last gentle stone staircase,

The trail behind is full of clumps of weeds that are up to the knee or even to the waist, and the wild road of the sheep intestine path is covered with volcanic ash and uneven volcanic rocks, and the endless sea and blue sky are used as the background, giving people a feeling of vast and ancient.

Taking pictures here can be done without any skill, and you can take pictures with a full sense of loneliness.

Asama and Futami slowed down, picked up their phones and took pictures.

"Mai-chan will definitely love this one."

Asama leaned over to look, and Futami took advantage of the situation to pull the distance too close.

He could already feel Futami's breath.

The protagonist of the photo is Higashiyama Hachijojima behind them.

It doesn't feel special, and I don't know if I'll like it.

Asama nodded and instantly widened the distance between the two, he only felt that he had just been tricked by the second sight of the great myojin.

When a few people reached the top of the mountain,

Most of Yinghe's students have already descended the mountain, and only a few remain at the Hiramakino Viewing Platform not far away.

The 800-meter-high volcanic peak, the entire crater has been transformed into a circular greenway called Hamaki-ji because of the lush vegetation, and the Immortal River says that the residents of Hachijojima Island will walk around the crater called the Hatsumi Tour.

Three students from Class A took a photo next to a square stone pillar that reads "Mt. Hachijo Fuji 854m".

It was sent to the executive committee of the student union activities of this cruise, and it got the three rankings of 264, 265, and 266.

A complete crane tail.

The hike is over.

Asama curiously looked back at the mountain, and what other talents could be slower than them.

But behind him, there was no one else.

Maybe some of you have already given up on hiking and are now on a relaxing holiday on a small island.

After looking around for a few minutes, several members of the temporary A Cappella Orchestra invariably set their sights on a small lake in the center of the crater.

The Immortal River took a deep breath of fresh air from the top of the island at an altitude of 854 meters, and pointed to the position north of the center of the crater.

"You know what? There's a shrine there, called Asama Shrine~~"

"Oh~~~~ Asama, is it a shrine opened by your family?"

According to Okubo, Mt. Asama, southwest of Tokyo, belongs to me, too.

Futami asked curiously,

"Are they those Asama Shrines on Mt. Fuji?"

"yes, I just don't know, this Asama Shrine, which great god is enshrined?"

Asama looked back at Nimi, who happened to be looking at Asama as well.

Shiina Eimi looked at the immortal river and asked,

"Why don't you go down together and go to Asama Shrine?"

Just as the Immortal River was about to charge into the crater,

She, Futami, and Asama's phones vibrate.

The Student Council informed the cruise ship that its departure time would be delayed until 1:30 p.m. and asked everyone to return to the Fuji Will as soon as possible.

Asama shook his head, the distance from the top of the mountain to the pier was 2 kilometers in a straight line, and the actual distance was almost 6 kilometers. It would take at least an hour to walk normally, and now that there are 20 minutes left until 1 o'clock, there is not much time left for them.

Let's go down the mountain. (End of chapter)
