Climbing Mount Fuji

"Today is the Problem Solver's monthly event day. Where do you two want to go?" Wu Shiyin asked Yang Xiao and Toga Himiko as he sat at his desk.

He had considered hiring another person these past few months, but after thinking it over, he decided it wasn't necessary. Currently, Yang Xiao and Toga Himiko were very capable, and the Problem Solver rarely had any overdue jobs.

However, Yang Xiao would be starting school in a month, and Toga Himiko's situation was still unclear. Therefore, he felt it would be good to hire a university student to work in a month's time, as university students generally had more free time.

"It's the monthly Problem Solver event time again?" Toga Himiko said, her eyes darting around. "Gin-san, I want to go mountain climbing!"

Yang Xiao glanced at Toga Himiko and chuckled, "Are you feeling like you've gained weight recently and want to lose some?"

"Yang Xiao, are you asking for death!?" Toga Himiko glared fiercely at Yang Xiao. Yang Xiao felt a chill run down his spine and quickly waved his hands, "I was just kidding."

"It's fine, you can make more jokes like that. I'll let you bleed a lot later..." Toga Himiko had actually made Yang Xiao bleed once last month, but she hadn't collected his blood because she wasn't interested.

Although she had gotten along well with Yang Xiao these past few months, he was still a weakling in her eyes. Only those she truly acknowledged were worthy of her collecting and preserving their blood.

Yang Xiao gave a wry smile. "Sister, Ancestor, can you please not do that..."

The last time Toga Himiko had taken his blood without him noticing was an experience he couldn't forget, and he definitely didn't want to be pricked by a needle again.

"We'll see!" Toga Himiko huffed, then turned to Wu Shiyin. "Gin-san, do you agree to go mountain climbing?"

Wu Shiyin thought for a moment and said, "Sure, climbing a mountain for some exercise is a good idea. So, where do you want to climb?"

"Mount Fuji!" Toga Himiko said directly. As a native of the Island Nation, she hadn't climbed Mount Fuji yet and felt a little guilty about it.

Yang Xiao's eyes lit up as well. Mount Fuji was one of the most famous mountains in the Island Nation. He had been in the Island Nation for so long and hadn't visited Mount Fuji. This Problem Solver event day was a good opportunity to visit Mount Fuji.

Wu Shiyin, also a native of the Island Nation, had only been to Mount Fuji once. At that time, he had only climbed halfway up before giving up.

The main reason was his poor health back then, which had led to a decline in his physical fitness. Wu Shiyin had been exercising these past few months, and his current physical condition was much better than it was then.

"Alright, then it's Mount Fuji!" Wu Shiyin declared, slapping the table.

"Long live Gin-san!" Toga Himiko exclaimed happily, then glared at Yang Xiao. Yang Xiao also raised his hands and shouted, "Long live Gin-san!"

"You two..." Wu Shiyin shook his head and chuckled.

They wouldn't be going to Mount Fuji today. Wu Shiyin decided they would go tomorrow. Today, they would just buy some snacks and essential supplies so they wouldn't be in a rush and unprepared when they got to Mount Fuji.

Toga Himiko worked diligently all day, hoping to make a good impression on Wu Shiyin for their trip to Mount Fuji tomorrow.

In this regard, she was very much like a child. Yang Xiao also cooperated with Toga Himiko, and both of them were very efficient that day.

When they finished work in the evening, Toga Himiko asked Yang Xiao to accompany her shopping. Of course, shopping was just an excuse; the real reason she wanted Yang Xiao there was to help her carry things.

Yang Xiao didn't really want to go, but he also needed to buy some things, including a backpack to carry them. So, he accompanied Toga Himiko.

After shopping at the mall, Yang Xiao was exhausted. At first, he was just helping her carry things, but later, his hands were full of her purchases.

Yang Xiao only bought a backpack and some snacks and other daily necessities. After packing these items into his backpack, he started carrying Toga Himiko's things.

Toga Himiko was quite satisfied with Yang Xiao's performance that day. However, when Yang Xiao offered to take her home, Toga Himiko directly refused.

The next morning, Yang Xiao arrived at the Problem Solver's office, a black backpack slung over his shoulders, filled with prepared items.

Wu Shiyin knew they had to leave early that morning, so he also woke up early. He actually wanted to sleep for another ten minutes, but Toga Himiko had come early and woken him up, so he got up and got ready.

"Xiao Yang, you're still in charge of carrying things today," Toga Himiko said with a smile when she saw Yang Xiao arrive, a mischievous expression on her face.

Yang Xiao was already used to interacting with Toga Himiko like this. He said indifferently, "No problem..."

"Xiao Yang, could you also help me with..."

"Get lost!" Wu Shiyin's words were cut short by Yang Xiao's blunt refusal. It was one thing for Toga Himiko to ask him to carry her things, but even Wu Shiyin wanted him to carry his, which was a bit much.

"Xiao Yang, I'm your boss. Toga and you are both my employees. It's a bit much for you to help her carry things but not me!" Wu Shiyin said, seemingly angry.

"I'm going out to have fun, not to work. If I have to carry everything, I might as well have stayed at work, it would be easier," Yang Xiao said, ignoring Wu Shiyin.

Wu Shiyin thought about it and realized Yang Xiao had a point. If Yang Xiao had to carry all the items, what would be the point of him going to Mount Fuji?

He would spend the trip exhausted from carrying things, which would be meaningless.

Even Toga Himiko felt a little embarrassed, but she wouldn't show it. In any case, Yang Xiao had to carry her things.

This time, Wu Shiyin didn't ride his small motorcycle. Instead, he, Yang Xiao, and Toga Himiko took a train directly. They would rent a car once they reached Shizuoka Prefecture.

It was Saturday today, so there were many people going to Mount Fuji. Yang Xiao placed Toga Himiko's things in front of him and sat with Wu Shiyin. Toga Himiko was the only one sitting further away.

Mount Fuji is an active volcano straddling Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures in the Island Nation. With an elevation of 3,776.24 meters, it is the highest peak in the Island Nation. It is usually the most crowded place, and foreign tourists often visit Mount Fuji, even if they don't climb it, they will admire its majestic grandeur from the foot of the mountain.

When Yang Xiao and the other two arrived at the foot of Mount Fuji, they realized how many people were there. It was practically shoulder-to-shoulder. Yes, the foot of the mountain was packed with people. As for how many people were on the mountain, Yang Xiao didn't know, but it was probably better than at the foot.

If an incident were to occur in a place like this, it would undoubtedly be very serious.

However, Yang Xiao soon saw police officers watching from not far away, and a few people who looked like Pro Heroes were standing nearby, smoking.

"Mount Fuji has free admission, which is why so many people come. There would have been even more people if Mount Fuji's opening hours hadn't been extended, so many people visit every day on average," Wu Shiyin said. As the elder brother, he knew more than Yang Xiao and Toga Himiko.

Moreover, he had climbed Mount Fuji once before and knew that reaching the summit was very difficult.

"Then let's start quickly!" Toga Himiko said excitedly, revealing a few small fangs.
