Chapter 282

Before the four could even marvel at how many friends Ishikawa Hayato had, they saw him pushing a small cart out.

"Everyone, please come and sit down."

Four people. "???"

Within the quiet and peaceful shrine grounds, small groups of people chatted as they diligently climbed the long staircase step by step.

The steps on Enoshima may not look high on paper, but they are actually quite tiring to climb.

As someone complained about the stairs, suddenly, loud music began to approach from behind them.

"Catch the shrimp! Love to blow up special forces, taxi driver! Haier plays taxi! Love to kill, pui, die, dog! Yeah."

The intense music, accompanied by the sound of tires rubbing against the ground, instantly shattered the tranquility of the place.

A passerby looked back, but only had time to see a person pushing a cart up the slope beside the steps, who darted past him like lightning, leaving a gust of wind in their wake.

As he looked ahead, he only saw the man pushing the cart, who took a side step and drifted through the bend ahead, leaving a trail of afterimages.

Several girls were also present, some excited, some terrified, and some screaming in fear.

"Aaaaaah!!"

A few minutes later, passersby who had reached the top finally saw the man who had been pushing the cart.

It was a boy with slightly messy black hair. He was squatting obediently by the shopping cart, listening to a blonde girl with her hands on her hips giving him a fierce lecture.

A red-haired girl and a long pink-haired girl waved their hands to block the way, while a blue-haired girl sat quietly on a handcart, seemingly smiling as she watched the boy being scolded.

But the blonde girl's lesson didn't last long. She seemed to have only said a couple of words before the boy squatting on the ground managed to fool her. He stood up, grinning, and hugged her.

After complaining a couple more times, she let him go.

Then the boy turned to chat with the other two girls, and finally helped the blue-haired girl sitting on the handcart to her feet.

"Okay, let's continue sightseeing!"

"It felt like a roller coaster, it was really fun!"

The five of them walked up the mountain on Enoshima. Ikuyo walked lightly ahead and said to the three who still looked scared.

Nijika glanced at Ishikawa Hayato, whose lips were slightly upturned, and felt that if she agreed now, her life would be full of excitement.

"It's interesting, but it's far too dangerous. This must be prohibited from now on!"

"But I can guarantee absolute safety..."

Ishikawa Hayato spoke weakly, but Nijika didn't let him finish, her face grim and her voice nasal.

"Um?"

Ishikawa Hayato obediently lowered his head.

Emerging from the long, arduous staircase, you'll see the exit of the Enoshima escalator. Those who rode the Ishikawa Hayato express trolley naturally didn't need to look at that escalator.

They continued forward until they reached a small area that could be considered a park.

There are people performing acrobatics here.

The saucer spins on the stick, and the wooden top climbs the rope.

The five people paused there for a while, then continued on their way.

Ahead was a garden, with all kinds of flowers blooming in the flower beds, as well as strangely shaped trees, and a gardener was busy inside.

"So, wasn't it worth coming up here?"

Ishikawa Hayato said to Ryo.

I feel much more relaxed now.

Ryo nodded, but without saying another word, she climbed back onto the stroller pushed by Ishikawa Hayato, ready to be lazy even when walking on flat ground.

Stepping directly onto a moving cart could easily cause a fall, but she seemed completely unfazed, crossing her arms and facing the wind as she spoke.

"This is more comfortable."

Ishikawa Hayato, who was pushing the cart for him, didn't seem to care that he was being used as a laborer and praised him.

"As expected of Liang, she really knows how to enjoy life."

Nijika looked at the two of them and warned them.

"That's very dangerous."

He looked at Nijika with a smirk, casually pointing behind him at Ishikawa Hayato.

"I'm not worried about the direction this person is heading."

While Nijika was in a daze, Hitori and Ikuyo had expressions of Daigo, as if they had learned something.

Once you reach the summit of Enoshima, you absolutely must visit the observation deck. If you don't take a look from the highest point after getting to the top, it's like you haven't made the trip at all.

Of course, this is just Ishikawa Hayato's personal prejudice, but he is not the only Ishikawa Hayato who thinks this way.

The observation deck can be accessed via external stairs or by taking an elevator directly to the top.

This time, Ikuyo didn't force them and chose to take the elevator up.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, she exclaimed in surprise and ran to the window.

"Wow! Look, the view from the observation deck is even more spectacular! We have to take a good look!"

She seemed to have known this view all along, as if she was trying to teach them how to enjoy the rewards of their "hard work."

Ishikawa Hayato glanced at the bustling interior of the observation deck, then looked to the side and saw that the highest observation deck was open. He then spoke to the four people who were watching him.

"There seems to be another floor upstairs."

200. Massage

For the three people who tend to stay at home, looking at the scenery through the glass is pretty much the same as looking at pictures and videos at home, isn't it?

Sensing their interest waning after their initial glances, Ishikawa Hayato waved and led them towards the outdoor observation deck at a higher elevation.

Stepping outside and taking two steps uphill, the biting, desolate autumn wind blew sideways, billowing and swaying my clothes.

Before we even reached the platform, the sound of an eagle could be heard in the distance; its powerful, whistling call carried far.

Ishikawa Hayato smiled and turned to the four of them.

"That voice is really nice."

"But they steal people's food here, so be careful. Last time I came, they followed me all the way down before leaving."

Ikuyo, who was following behind him, reminded him.

"There's actually such a thing?"

Ishikawa Hayato was surprised and complained with dissatisfaction.

"How dare they follow my girlfriend? If I ever see them, I'll teach them a lesson!"

The outdoor observation deck on Enoshima is the highest point on the entire Enoshima, offering panoramic views of Izu Oshima and, on a clear day, even Mount Fuji.

But even more beautiful than those are the incredibly vast view, the endless horizon, and the surging sea breeze high in the sky.

Ishikawa Hayato stood by the railing, enjoying the sea breeze that made his coat flutter, and after looking around, pointed to the path they had taken earlier.

"That's the way we came. How about it? It feels different coming from here, doesn't it?"

"The field of vision is a little wider now."

Liang nodded in agreement, but didn't seem particularly excited. He simply took a couple of steps along the railing and looked around.

"Mmm, the air feels so much clearer."

Hitori agreed.

Seeing that everyone thought the place was nice, Nijika smiled and said...

"Then let's stay a little longer."

Ishikawa Hayato turned around and secretly gave Ikuyo a thumbs-up. Ikuyo clasped her hands to her chest and nodded with shining eyes.

It was already 11 o'clock when they came down from the Enoshima observation deck. They walked down the stairs all the way down, and the three girls, who were a bit of a homebody, didn't feel tired at all.

They retraced their steps, revisiting the scenery they had missed while speeding along with Ishikawa Hayato, and paid their respects at the shrine before preparing to descend the mountain and leave.

"Even coming down the mountain feels so tiring; I haven't walked this far in ages."

On the way down the mountain, it was Nijika who was the first to complain of being tired. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at Liang and Hitori next to her with a puzzled expression, clearly surprised that they didn't seem to be tired at all.

But these two were indeed in better physical condition than her; one was a bassist who often engaged in sexual activity in bed... no, the other was a street urchin who often wandered around aimlessly.

One is a guitar practice fanatic who lives with Ishikawa Hayato and is occasionally dragged out by him to exercise, resulting in a much better level of physical activity than before.

Nijika stayed at home busy with housework, part-time jobs, and drum practice. These activities use different muscles than shopping outside, so it's not surprising that she's tired so early.

"Keep it up, we'll go have lunch after we get down, and we'll also have Shirasu-don."

Of the five, Ishikawa Hayato, who seemed the most relaxed, encouraged her.

Hearing Shirasu-don Nijika more excited, her fatigue vanished, and she asked excitedly.

"Real?!"

Ishikawa Hayato nodded. "Yes, that's about the objective."

"Great!" Nijika jumped up and down happily.

Looking at Nijika's bouncing ponytail and her still small figure even when she jumped, Ishikawa Hayato stroked his chin and tentatively asked.

"By the way, Nijika, if you're tired, do you want to sit on my shoulders?"

Nijika was stunned for a moment before turning around.

"Um?"

A moment later, facing the cool teasing, the admiring gaze of Ikuyo and Hitori, the touch of Ishikawa Hayato's hair between her legs, the view that was too high for her, the curious gazes around her, and the shame of feeling like a child.

Having been coaxed and tricked by Ishikawa Hayato, Nijika bowed, her body hunched over, and she cried out in despair while hugging Ishikawa Hayato's head.

"No, please! Hayato-kun, put me down!"

"What?! I can't hear you."

Having successfully tricked Nijika into sitting on his shoulder, Ishikawa Hayato naturally wouldn't put her down easily, and happily exclaimed.

He also grabbed Nijika's smooth, slender legs, which were dangling from his chest and kicking as she struggled.

The soft, warm flesh of her inner thighs pressed against her neck, and Nijika's entire weight rested on her shoulders, along with her shyness and fear, filling this perverted man's excitement gauge to its limit.

After he finished speaking, he called out to the three people behind him.

"Everyone, keep up!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and, amidst Nijika's shouts, began to run wildly downhill.

"What do you mean I can't hear you! You definitely heard me, so stop teasing me now! Put me down!"

When the three of them came down the mountain with the stroller, they saw Ishikawa Hayato, who had already put Nijika down, trying his best to coax Nijika.

"Nijika ~ This kind of thing is very common. You see, some girls who can't see the show sit on their boyfriends' shoulders to watch it, don't be angry."

"I'm not angry!"

"Nijika ~~"

"Phew... really."

A smile gradually appeared on Nijika's face, which she had been trying to keep from looking at, but she turned her head away from Ishikawa Hayato.

Ishikawa Hayato hugged her from behind, nuzzling his cheek against her ingratiatingly. In no time, the anger on Nijika's face disappeared, replaced by a shy smile.

"Don't play like that on the street..."

She gave Ishikawa Hayato a gentle, reproachful push.

The three women, who were already considered easy to appease, looked with pity at the blonde girl who was even easier to appease than them.
