Accompanying diary with strength first

This is it!The lowest point at the junction of the two mountains is also the corner of the valley, which is suspected to be an ancient river. The vegetation here is rich and there are a few towering trees scattered on the left and right. It seems to be more vibrant and attractive than other places on the mountain.

I took out my pen, marked my own map, and quickly returned the way I came.

"Captain? Ichinose? I'm back!..."

"Kitazawa-kun!?"

After calling several times, the timid Ichinose timidly emerged from behind a tree.

"It's me, are you okay?"

"Not good! Just now there was a black shadow running past me, it scared me to death!" Ichinose ran to my side with a hint of crying.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have left you here as a girl. By the way, is that the black shadow you're talking about?" I pointed to the branch not far behind Ichinose.

"It's a squirrel! Really... I thought there were wolves or bears!" Ichinose felt a little embarrassed.

"It's rare. Squirrels generally don't come out in winter. You probably scared it by wandering around its tree hole just now... As for bears, they are basically in the protected area now. Don't be afraid. Thanks to you , I have found a suitable place, let's go back quickly!"

"Uh-huh!"

On the way back, I felt that Ichinose was pulling me even tighter, and I was suspected of hitting someone with the ball.

After finally rushing back to the camp on time, Ichinose threw herself into Mio-chan's arms the moment she handed in the task.It made Mio-chan stare straight at me, and those who didn't know thought I was bullying her!

It seems that my comfort and shoulders are just temporary spares, they are useless, and Mio's mother's embrace is warmer.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ando-san."

I sat by the fire and took a bowl of hot soup, and listened to everyone's evaluation of us by the teacher who led the team today.

In terms of marching, team relations, and camping, we all got high scores, but Yagami and Tian Ze, who went out to collect, had mediocre results and did not get points for collecting tasks.

Fortunately, I successfully completed the task of digging wells and selecting points, controlled the error of point selection within an acceptable range, won our first pot of gold, and temporarily became the person with the highest personal points in the team.

Of course, the hard work of Ichinose and everyone in the camp is indispensable. Without them, I would definitely not be able to complete the task on time, set up the camp, and prepare dinner.

After the team leader announced today's results, he went back to his own tent and stayed in his own tent. In addition, there were no other team members in this camp, so the time after dinner became our free time.

However, there is no electricity, only fire, we can't do anything earth-shattering, we can only chat around the warm fire.

I took out a large bag of candied fruit that was rewarded for completing the task just now and gave it to everyone as snacks.By the way, taking advantage of Mio-chan is my wife's advantage, I sat next to her and mixed into the circle of girls chatting.

"Don't tell me, I really didn't expect this thing to be baked. Sure enough, anything will be delicious when roasted." Tian Ze said mischievously roasting candied fruit with a campfire.

"Be careful not to overeat and spoil your stomach! Those who lag behind will be fined half of their bonus." I warned her greedy.

Speaking of which, although the leadership team of the student union has changed, our school is still as dark as ever, and the task rewards and points are all for individuals. Isn't this clearly sowing discord here!Not everyone has such a good vibe as our squad.

"It doesn't matter what you say, Ibuki-senpai is the biggest in our team." Amazawa, who was always in front of me, handed the baked candied fruit to Mio-chan.

Amazawa has good eyesight, and knows how to bribe Mio-chan, the proprietress, with delicious food.Both Ichinose and I have to listen to Mio-chan, and Mio-chan is the best in this team.

"I don't eat, you eat."

Mio-chan is still very cold in front of outsiders, especially juniors.And even though she exercises regularly, she still cares about her figure.

"Thank you Ibuki-senpai! Ibuki-senpai is such a good person, it's a pity to be paired with a scum like Kitazawa-senpai..."

"Obviously eating my food, you really dare to say it!" I couldn't help but retorted.

"I'm telling the truth." Tian Ze muttered while eating.

"Okay, I'm a scumbag. But it hurts to tell the truth in social situations, and you have to learn to use social words."

After looking at each other with Mio-chan, I obediently confessed.

"Don't be polite to you, doesn't it mean that we have a good relationship? Senior." Tian Ze fought back faster and harder.

"You're right..."

Alas... Am I doomed to be a bad person in this life?

"I think Kitazawa-kun is very kind." Ichinose who was beside Mio-chan spoke for me.

"It's Fanbo, you are kind, not him." In the end, Mio-chan made the final conclusion.

"My kind Ichinose-san, thank you for speaking for me, let me treat you to candied fruit!" I took a bunch of candied fruit that was placed by the fire.

"That's mine!" Tianze, a hungry tiger, threw me down suddenly.

"Ah! It's so cold on the ground! >_<"

"Hahahaha!"

Laughter echoed around our campsite, at least this winter camp got off to a good start.

Chapter 343 348 Faith Is the Master of Destiny

Faith is the master of destiny. — Helen Keller

Naturally, it is difficult for us to sleep well if we are not used to sleeping in a sleeping bag, but fatigue is always the best sleep medicine.

Now we have to thank the late sun in winter, so that we will not experience the scenery of Hokkaido at four o'clock in the morning.

But staying in bed is impossible to have a chance to stay in bed. We extinguished the campfire, cleaned up the garbage, put away the tent, and set foot on the journey again.

Our first goal this morning is a mission location. If we hurry up, we should be able to arrive before noon.After completing this task, consider the issue of which campsite to camp.

First, I passed the mountain depression where I came to investigate the groundwater yesterday, helped each other to climb over two small hills, one large and one small, and then snaked all the way along the ridge to a small river.

After walking downstream for more than 200 meters, we finally arrived at the mission site to sign in with our hungry bodies.And just watched the spectacular scene of the team in front of them performing the task.

"Wow! Who's that flying on the zipline?"

With bright eyes, Tian Ze pointed at the figure walking quickly on the river, and wrote on his face that he wanted to play.

"Let me see... crossing the river on the ridge, you can choose one of the ziplines or the wooden bridge to go to the opposite bank. If you use the zipline, it costs one-fifth of a person, and if you walk on the bridge, it is one-tenth of a person." Yagami read and posted on the mission point announcement.

"Shouldn't it be easier to walk on the bridge?" Kurihara-senpai's legs began to tremble a little when she saw the ropeway.

"Hehe, look at that little bridge that is blowing in the wind." I said and pointed to the boys who were crossing the bridge in twos and threes to show her, "It is completely composed of iron chains and wooden boards, so long, and the gap between the boards The distance between them is so huge, not to mention that it doesn't even have handrails... Do you think it will be easier than ziplines where you can slide to the opposite bank with your eyes closed and opened?"

"555...Ibuki-senpai! I want to ride the zipline! I'm afraid of heights and bridges!" Kurihara ran into Mio-chan's arms and said.

"No problem, girls who don't want to walk on the bridge can take the zipline." Mio-chan gently touched her head, "But boys must walk on the bridge with me!"

"Let's go, Mio-chan, why are you just staring at me? I'm not a coward..." I glanced at the height of the bridge from the river with some guilt.

"There is a safety rope on the top of the head! As for being so panicked? At worst, I will go first." Kamuro said in a womanly manner.

"As the captain, I'll take the bridge too..." Ichinose gritted her teeth, and also slapped herself hard.

"I'm so conflicted! I want to play with both of them..." Tian Ze's strange brain circuit is indeed very different.

"I'm fine too!" Ando's physical ability is excellent, and this thing that tests the sense of balance will not trouble her.

"Huh? In the end, why am I the only one riding the zipline? Then I'd better walk the bridge with everyone! I'm even more lost on the zipline alone. That thing looks so fast..." Kurihara jumped left and right hesitantly with.

"Well... that's fine too, after all, this way gets the highest score. Don't be afraid, we're here!" Ichinose decided after thinking about it.

It's good now, Ichinose is not alone anymore, with a school girl on her back.However, Ichinose's older sister attribute can also be effectively triggered in front of the younger generation. While enjoying many bonuses, she is immune to various controls. Apart from burning money, there is nothing wrong with her in her older sister status.

"Up to six people can pass on the bridge at a time, so how about we divide into two groups, a man and a woman take care of each other and move forward alternately?" Hashimoto suggested.

"No problem, you and Masumi-san lead the four juniors to pass first, and we will take the second shift. Remember to take your time, don't rush... By the way! What about our luggage? I think the people in front seem to be trying to tie the safety rope. No luggage." Ichinose asked.

"It seems that I can ask the teachers to transport it by boat." I pointed to the boat below and said.

"Then let's register to participate!"

After registering, we waited for a while for all the members of the previous team to pass and return to the safety buckle before we were ready to go on the bridge.

Seeing Kamuro leading the five of them gropingly forward, Ichinose in front of me seemed even more nervous.

This is also one of the reasons why she let her juniors start first, right?It's much easier to go straight to battle than to wait anxiously here.

"Fanbo, don't look into the flowing river below for a while, and focus on the wooden board."

Knowing that her best friend is an embroidered pillow with no courage, Mio-chan once again acted as a stress reliever.

"Uh-huh…"

I don't know if Mio-chan's words have any effect, but Ichinose, who doesn't want to drag everyone down, tries to pretend to be calm.

"Anyway, there is no time limit. Shibata-kun, you can control the rhythm. You can walk a little slower to reduce the shaking of the bridge deck. Albert will cooperate with you by relying on your weight." I reminded Shibata.

"No problem, you just follow me."

I don't know if Shibata, the second idiot, really understands it, but he will never let his favorite Ando be unable to keep up with his footsteps, and Mio-chan should be able to maintain a good speed in the future.

Is it necessary to maintain the speed of the whole team?certainly.

If the people in front walk too fast, the people behind will feel anxious. In addition, it is a project with a lot of psychological pressure. Any straw flying at this time can crush a person.

Again, the rhythm of this project is very important.You need to keep moving forward in one go. Once you stop, you will lose the effort and initial speed you had when you started.If you hesitate, you will lose. After all, maintaining balance in the air is a very exhausting task.

"Mio...will you go to the bathroom with me?"

Ichinose suddenly discovered that there is a temporary toilet set up by the school at the mission point, which is really helpful!Our school is really considerate.

"Now? Well, it's about to start...Let's go and come back quickly."

"Uh, by the way, I also kind of want to go to the bathroom."

It's not that I'm afraid, I really haven't been there all morning.

"There's only one bathroom, and I'm just accompanying her, bear with me, let's talk on the other side!" Mio-chan ruthlessly rejected me.

"It's okay to bear it..."

Enjoying Mio-chan's usual unfair treatment, I decided to continue to accrue this debt to Ichinose, anyway, she is already in a state where she has too many debts.

Ichinose calmed down a lot after releasing the water, and it happened to be the turn of the six of us to put on the safety buckle and cross the river.

I have to say that it is still very challenging for the school to choose this project.This small mountain river is right at the junction of the two mountains, the location is very awkward, and there is a lot of draft.

Yep, those damn north winds are really nasty.After they were blocked by the mountain, they gathered together, even at noon, they still gave us a chilly feeling, and at the same time, the wooden bridge was swayed from side to side.

"I'm on!"

Standing in the first place, Shibata was not affected. After cheering himself up loudly, he looked at his feet and took the first step successfully.

We followed up one by one and walked onto this small bridge with no turning back.At this time, the Sakagami team behind also arrived. They were surprised by the project we were trying and started to shout.

"Leave them alone, look at your feet, and keep your body balanced." I, who was the second to last, tried my best to say this.

"Well, Kitazawa-kun, you have to be careful..."

The voice of Ichinose in front of me trembled slightly, I don't know if it was because the wind was blowing too cold or something.

"Okay, let's work together."

When I reached one-third of the way, the river under my feet suddenly became turbulent, and I tried my best not to be distracted by these distracting thoughts.

On the other hand, the sound of Yamada's footsteps behind me has been unhurried. It seems that this project has not caused him much trouble.

"Ugh..."

Speaking of which, from the very beginning, Ichinose's state was a bit wrong. She seemed to be walking more and more slowly, and gradually opened a few boards away from Mio-chan in front of her.

"Is something wrong? Ichinose? Are you feeling unwell?"

After struggling for a while, I think it's better to ask her as soon as possible.

"(????) I... my hair was caught by the safety buckle... I dare not pull it hard on this bridge." Ichinose said rather helplessly.

It seems that there are many disadvantages to maintaining long hair!No wonder she kept tilting her head and walking in just now.

"You really should find time to get your hair done. Let's ask Mio-chan to go with you another day! Pull the safety rope above your head and stand still. I'll untie it for you."

"Excuse me, Kitazawa-kun, I'm really sorry..."

Ichinose carefully put her feet together on the same bridge, floating like a swing in the north wind, with a helpless wry smile on her face.

I really can't do anything with her accident physique!I also had to be brave enough to stand side by side on the bridge behind her, hold the safety rope with one hand, lean forward, and stretch out my arms to reach her body.

"Okay, let me see what's going on..."

Since it was with one hand and I couldn't see the specific situation inside the safety buckle, I groped for a while, and finally freed her lock of hair.

"Great, thank you... ah~!"

Ichinose let out a scream. It turned out that she was too relaxed when she just got out of trouble. She only focused on checking her hair, and lost her center of gravity, almost falling off the board.

Fortunately, I grabbed her safety buckle with my hand in time, giving her time to readjust her posture.
