My love simulation with them

[While trying not to affect Nango Satou’s body, they arrived at the Okinawa island. 】

[The blue of the sea and the darkness of the island reflect. 】

[Driving on the straight road that seems to connect to the other side of the sky, everyone has an inexplicable feeling of relaxation and joy. 】

[They stayed here for a while longer, until the night when the summer fireworks festival started. Then they helped Nanxiang Sugar to a nearby observation deck and looked up to watch the fireworks. 】

[The fireworks soared into the night sky with a roar, dragging a long tail flame, and the red fire light became dim, as if it was about to disappear under such circumstances. 】

[However, the blazing red fireball did not dissipate. The brilliance accumulated and finally burst out. The orange light took on the shape of long strips and petals and spread out in all directions. 】

[Nanxiang Sugar didn't speak. She just quietly raised her head and watched the colorful 'flowers' blooming above her head and slowly disappearing. 】

【With this hazy night full of fireworks smell. 】

[The daughters seem to have seen what she looked like when she was young. 】

[She raised her head together with you, looking at the fireworks in front of her in the same posture...]

【Time continues to go on. 】

[After enjoying the summer fireworks in Okinawa, Nango Satou's health suddenly deteriorated rapidly. 】

[It seems to be caused by the non-stop traveling and traveling in the past few months. 】

[The already extremely fragile body is already overwhelmed. 】

[Because of this incident, your daughters even had a big quarrel with each other. Some thought that she should not be taken away for a long journey, while others thought that instead of watching their mother rotting and powerless in the hospital bed, it would be better to fulfill her last wish. 】

[The two sides continued to argue, and finally stopped due to her calm, weak, almost sleep-talking babble. 】

[Her lips moved slightly, as if to say not to quarrel. 】

[It seems to be saying that it’s all my fault. 】

[They looked at their extremely weak mother on the hospital bed and stopped their meaningless quarrel at this moment. 】

[Blaming others doesn’t change anything. 】

[They actually understand this. 】

[Similarly, it is Nanxiang Sugar’s wish to continue this unfinished journey. 】

[Wait until Nanxiang Sugar’s body recovers a little. 】

[They took her away from the hospital. 】

[The only difference this time is that at the doctor's request, they carried a large amount of intravenous drugs with them. 】

[Her fire of life has reached its end, and she begins to need drugs to maintain the weak fire of life. 】

[The place to go next is a place that has been decided a long time ago, and it is also a place where my father and mother have been - Azuma Valley. 】

[This is an extremely romantic name. 】

[They will wait here for the red leaves all over the sky to be dyed red by the autumn frost. 】

[They have to wait for the harvest in autumn, and for the fresh and crisp wild vegetables to mature, and then pick them and give them to Nanxiang Sugar. 】

[However, they came too early after all. 】

[Because they had to take care of Nanxiang Sugar’s physical condition, they arrived near the Azuma Valley many days in advance. 】

[The red leaves are only half burned. 】

[Even the green and beautiful mountain scenery in front of you makes people feel disgusted and anxious. 】

[They don’t want to see the green mountains. They want to see the autumn frost dyeing everything red. They want to stand in the dense forest and watch the red leaves wither and fall. 】

[Their calls in their hearts, hoping that someone can hear their calls and fulfill their wishes...fulfill their mother's wishes. 】

[Seeing my mother getting weaker and weaker, she sleeps much longer than she is awake...]

[Physicist Nango Mei, who has never believed in the theory of gods, made a special trip to a nearby shrine to pray for blessings. 】

[Nango Yuna, who has always been lazy and doesn’t want to do anything, tied a series of autumn wind dolls. 】

[In addition...they also did many, many things...]

[Nango Notake, Nango Muna, and Nango Misora ​​stayed up all night waiting by Nango Suzu's bedside, listening to her tiny whispers, as trivial words as if they were murmuring in sleep, and clasped their hands together to pray for her. 】

[Perhaps their calling really had an effect. 】

[Or maybe there really is a god in this world. 】

【The red leaf season came very early this year. 】

【Just one night. 】

[An unknown autumn wind turns the mountains and fields red. 】

[The red leaves are burning quietly. 】

[They were excited and happy about this, and hurriedly pushed Nanxiang Sugar, who needed wheelchair assistance, to enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of them. 】

[Red leaves are flying all over the sky and falling on her white temples. 】

[Nanxiang Yan next to him saw this situation and subconsciously wanted to reach out his hand to pick off the red leaves, but she stopped him. 】

"Senior Nanxiang said, we are decorated with red leaves... it looks great..."

She was leaning on her wheelchair, looking at the beautiful scenery of red leaves flowing quietly in the valley in front of her with cloudy eyes as she murmured.

She was probably unconscious when she said this.

I just said this subconsciously.

Her eyes were distant, as if she saw more than just the beautiful red leaves in front of her.

There was more... something only she could see.

The daughters of the Nanxiang family held back their voices.

He even held his breath subconsciously.

They didn't want to disturb the old man in front of them at this time... and they didn't want to make even the slightest movement.

[The situation of Nanxiang Sugar is getting worse and worse. 】

[When she left Azuma Valley, her consciousness was no longer clear. 】

[The time she lay down was much longer than the time she sat down. 】

[While lying down, she would also subconsciously utter some small murmurs. 】

[Some of these babbles are meaningful, and some are meaningless. 】

[She sometimes began to become unresponsive to outside sounds. 】

[The daughters know that her time is running out. 】

[The evil beast named time is eating away at her body all the time. 】

[The injected medicine entered her body along with the thin dropper. Her little spark of life could only be maintained by this thin dropper. 】

[Without hesitation, they drove to the last location of the trip - Mount Fuji. 】

[This is a long drive. 】

[After more than ten hours of non-stop driving, they finally arrived at the bottom of Mount Fuji. 】

[They submitted their mountain climbing application at the responsible office, and then looked sideways. 】

[It’s different from thirty years ago. 】

[Mount Fuji, which originally had no formal hiking trails, now has a climbing trail that can go up. 】

[However, this mountaineering trail that allows vehicles to travel only stops at the third station level (the levels of Mount Fuji are divided into the first to tenth stations), and you must rely on human power to walk above it. 】

[The highest level that tourists are allowed to reach in Mount Fuji is the ‘Sixth Station’, which is where my father and mother once visited. 】

【There is nothing to hesitate. 】

[Your daughters changed her clothes and began to take turns carrying Nanxiang Sugar on their backs up the hiking trail. 】

[It originally only took three hours to walk, but with this alternating carrying situation, it was extended to six hours...]

[Sweat formed a sticky ball. 】

[Several times they almost fell down due to lack of strength. 】

[My body, which was already sleepy after more than ten hours of driving in a hurry, became even more sleepy at this time. 】

[It was also at this time that their mother's weak, distressed murmurs sounded in their ears. 】

【Tired...? 】

[Hearing these words, they were stunned for a moment, and then looked back suddenly. But they found that their mother was just mumbling syllables that they didn't understand at all. 】

【Tired...? The answer to this question is actually very simple. 】

"Of course you're not tired, Mom."

Nanxiang Hongxia's daughter, Nanxiang Meikong, turned her head sideways, glanced at her mother's face from the corner of her eye, and smiled: "Why are you tired...? Just wait a little longer, we are about to go up..."

Continue upward.

Continue upward.

Just looking up at the long steps, it seems to be connected to the other end of the sky.

But at this time, no one spoke.

They just silently, almost religiously, wanted to complete this journey.

This was a journey that was too long for their mother.

[Just like the life of the same person. 】

【No matter how long the hiking trail is, it has an end. 】

[Coming up from the third station and arriving at the sixth station, they stood where their mother and father had stood before. 】

[Take out the folded cloth soft chair. 】

[They helped Nanxiang Sugar sit down and spoke softly to their mother who had not responded to the outside world for a long time. 】

"Mom, we've arrived at the sixth station."

Nanxiang Yan squatted down and spoke in her ear in a low voice.

"Look, it's the sixth station of Mount Fuji... It's the place you want to come to the most..."

The mountains are stretching.

The town can be seen from here.

You can also see the intertwining light and dark sky under the setting sun.

Nanxiang Yan gently held Nanxiang Sugar's palm, as if he was afraid that too much force would crush her palm.

Look at her eyes still closed.

Nanxiang Yan made a sound that was almost pleading.

"Mom... please open your eyes and take a look. It's what you, dad and mom have always wanted to see... the view from Mount Fuji's sixth station."

Perhaps it was a certain word in the words that stirred Nanxiang Sugar.

Or maybe he felt the pleading of Nanxiang Yan and other daughters.

Nanxiang Sugar, who was almost unconscious and unable to sense the outside world, opened his cloudy eyes.

Her eyes slowly lifted.

Just the act of opening her eyelids seemed to take all her strength.

She looked at the scene before her.

She saw her daughters surrounding her, looking at her with concern.

That calm face seemed to have a little smile...

Her palms lifted slightly.

It seemed like he was trying to figure out something.

It was as if he noticed her movements.
