Chapter 199: 118. Takao Mountain Scenery (1)_3

"Where to?" After the match, Dubian Che asked.

"Takao Mountain," Kiyono Lin said.

"Mountain?"

"Are you sure you want to climb a mountain in this weather?"

"Really?"

Kiyono Lin sighed and said, "Climbing is tough, and the sun is very strong. You’re not part of the Human Observation Department. I’m already grateful for your help, so just head back."

"No, I want to go!" Yuzao Haomei insisted.

The others didn’t object, so a group of fools went mountain climbing at 34 degrees Celsius in the summer—except for Dubian Che, because he believed he was coerced and was utterly unwilling.

Kiyono Lin had obviously checked the route map and led everyone directly to buy the discounted Takao Mountain travel tickets offered by Keio Electric Railway, which would get them directly to Takao Mountain in Ohtsuki City in just an hour.

The ticket included a return ticket and a pass for the cable car or chairlift.

On top of that, there was a 20% discount.

Go to hell with it.

If Dubian Che had known they were going mountain climbing, he definitely wouldn’t have said something like ’I go where you go’... probably.

Upon arriving at Takao-san-guchi Station, one could see a waiting room and platform signs made of cedar wood.

It’s said that the cedar wood for the station was all sourced from Takao Mountain and designed by a Grandmaster architect to blend into nature.

"Are we going up by cable car?" Ichiki Aoi excitedly said.

The sun at three o’clock was strong, but they had been in the car the whole time and hadn’t had the chance to feel it, so in their hearts, they were still looking forward to the climb.

"You four go up by cable car," Kiyono Lin said.

For her, who was there to take location shots, going straight to the top by cable car was pointless.

"Four of us?" To make sure, Dubian Che clarified.

"Hm?" Kiyono Lin looked at him with confusion.

"...Never mind."

"If you have something to say, just say it."

"There’s really nothing."

Kiyono Lin smiled prettily, "Since it’s nothing, don’t complain later, Mr. Dubian."

Dubian Che seriously pondered for three seconds, remembering all the dirt he had on him: "It’s nothing."

The main reason was that he was the one who had proposed making the film.

Kiyono Lin was even prepared to come alone for location scouting, so it wouldn’t be right for him to whine about the hardship.

Kiyono Lin nodded satisfactorily; though Dubian Che liked to talk nonsense and was full of lies, aside from that, he was overall an ideal human individual.

"That," Ichiki Aoi couldn’t contain her curiosity, "what exactly is the relationship between Kiyono and Mr. Dubian?"

"What is our relationship?" Kiyono Lin smiled and looked towards Dubian Che.

"Police and the thief?" Dubian Che replied.

"Nope," Kiyono Lin shook her head.

"Then what is it?"

"Police and the petty thief."

"..." Dubian Che looked at the Takao Mountain before them, "While the light is good now, let’s hurry up and climb."

Petty thief? Today, you’ll see what a murderer is like!

Just getting to the foot of Takao Mountain, they started to sweat.

"Are you thirsty? I’ll go buy some water," Dubian Che said.

"No need; I brought some."

"Me too."

It seemed the girls all had water in their bags or had already bought some.

Dubian Che walked alone towards the vending machine.

"Wait," Kiyono Lin called out to him.

"Do you want something to drink?" Dubian Che turned around.

Kiyono Lin stepped out from under Yuzao Haomei’s parasol, walked up to Dubian Che, and from her tote bag handed him her own parasol, slightly averting her eyes:

"Take this."

"..."

"Eh? Kiyono, did you bring a parasol?" Yuzao Haomei asked in surprise.

"...Yeah."

"Then why..." Yuzao Haomei wanted to ask why she wasn’t using it herself.

Understanding her confusion, Kiyono Lin said, "Mr. Dubian said he didn’t bring one, and I was hesitant about giving it to him. Since Yuzao is willing to share one with me, it’s alright to give mine to him."

"Oh, I see!" Suddenly enlightened about something, Yuzao Haomei cheerfully sped up a couple of steps and repositioned the parasol over Kiyono Lin’s head.

Dubian Che looked at the parasol in his hand: "Shouldn’t I return this?"

Kiyono Lin rolled her eyes at him, "Give it back to me when we return to Tokyo."

"That’s what I meant."
