Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Climbing Mount Fuji

"Today is the Broken House's monthly activity day. Where do you two top employees want to go?" Tokiyin sat at his desk, watching Yang Xiao and Toga get ready.

Over the past few months, he had considered hiring another person, but after thinking it over, he decided it wasn't necessary. Currently, Yang Xiao and Toga were very capable, and the Broken House's orders were basically never delayed.

However, Yang Xiao would be starting school in a month, and Toga's plans were still unclear, so he thought he might recruit a college student to work part-time in a month. After all, college students have more free time.

"It's the Broken House's monthly activity day again?" Toga rolled her eyes and said, "Gin-san, I want to go hiking!"

Yang Xiao glanced at Toga and smiled, "Do you feel like you've gained weight recently and want to lose some?"

"Yang Xiao, are you looking for a beating!?" Toga glared fiercely at Yang Xiao. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly waved his hands, "I was joking!"

"It's fine, keep making jokes like that, and I'll make you bleed more later..." Toga had actually drawn Yang Xiao's blood once a month ago, but she hadn't collected it because she had no interest in his blood.

Although she had gotten along quite well with Yang Xiao over the past few months, in her eyes, Yang Xiao was still a weakling. Only those she truly acknowledged were worthy of having their blood collected and preserved.

Yang Xiao smiled wryly, "Sis, my ancestor, can you not be like this..."

The last time Toga had drawn his blood when he wasn't paying attention, he couldn't forget that creepy feeling of pleasure. Anyway, he didn't want to be pricked by a needle again.

"That depends on your performance!" Toga snorted, turned to Usaki Gin, and asked, "Gin-san, do you agree to go hiking?"

Yashiro thought for a moment and then said, "Okay, a mountain climbing activity is good too. So, where do you want to go hiking?"

"Fuji!" Toga said immediately. As a native of the island nation, she had never climbed Mount Fuji, which she felt was a bit of a shame.

Yang Xiao's eyes also lit up. Mount Fuji is one of the most famous mountains in the island nation. He had been here for so long but had never been to Mount Fuji. This time, he could go for the Broken House's activity day.

As a native, Yashiro Gin had only been to Mount Fuji once. Back then, he only climbed halfway before stopping.

The main reason was poor health. He was too decadent at the time, leading to a decline in physical fitness. Over the past few months, Yoshiyin had been exercising, and his physique was much better now than back then.

"Okay, then it's settled, we're going to Mount Fuji!" Yashiro Gin declared, slamming the table.

"Long live Gin-san!" Toga laughed happily, then glared at Yang Xiao, who also raised his hand and shouted, "Long live Gin-san!"

"You two..." Yoshigin shook his head and laughed.

They wouldn't go to Mount Fuji today. Yashigin decided to go tomorrow. They could use today to buy some snacks and essential supplies to avoid being unprepared and rushed tomorrow.

Toga worked very diligently that day, just to leave a good impression on Yashigin for the trip to Mount Fuji tomorrow.

It was very childlike, and Yang Xiao cooperated well with Toga. Both of them were very efficient that day.

After work in the evening, Toga asked Yang Xiao to accompany her shopping. Of course, shopping was just an excuse; she actually wanted Yang Xiao to come along and carry things for her.

Yang Xiao didn't really want to go, but he also needed to buy a backpack and some things, so he accompanied her on the trip.

After shopping at the mall, Yang Xiao was exhausted. At first, he helped her carry things, but later, both his hands were full.

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

Toga was quite satisfied with Yang Xiao's performance today, but when Yang Xiao offered to walk her home, she directly refused.

The next day, Yang Xiao arrived early at the Broken House, carrying a black backpack with all his prepared items.

Tokiyin knew they were leaving early today, so he got up very early. Actually, he wanted to sleep ten more minutes, but Toga woke him up by arriving early, so he simply got up and got ready.

"Xiao Yang, you're still on carrying duty today." When Toga saw Yang Xiao arrive, she smiled, showing a mischievous expression.

Yang Xiao was used to this kind of interaction with Toga by now and said casually, "No problem..."

"Xiao Yang, can you help me..."

"No way!" Before Yoshiyin could finish, Yang Xiao unceremoniously rejected him. She asks me to carry her things, and now you, Gin-san, want me to carry yours too? That's a bit much.

"Xiao Yang, I'm your boss. Toga is my employee, just like you. It's a bit much for you to carry her things but not mine!" Usaki Gin said, seemingly angry.

"We're going out to have fun, not to work. If I have to carry everything, I might as well go to work and relax." Yang Xiao couldn't be bothered to indulge Shiyin.

Hearing this, Yoshigin thought it made sense. If Yang Xiao had to carry everything, what would be the point of going to Mount Fuji?

Just to help them carry things? The day would be spent in fatigue and meaninglessness.

Toga felt a little embarrassed internally, but she wouldn't show it. In short, Yang Xiao still had to carry her things.

This time, Wu Shiyin didn't ride his scooter. Instead, they went directly by train with Yang Xiao and Toga. Once they arrived in Shizuoka Prefecture, they would hire a car.

Today happened to be a Saturday, so there were many people heading to Mount Fuji. Yang Xiao placed Toga's things in front of him and sat with Wu Shiyin, while Toga sat further away.

Mount Fuji is an active volcano spanning Shizuoka Prefecture and Yamanashi Prefecture. It is 3,776.24 meters high, the highest peak in Japan, and an extremely crowded place. Generally, foreign tourists visit Mount Fuji; even if they don't climb it, they appreciate its magnificence from the base.

When Yang Xiao and the other two arrived at the foot of Mount Fuji, they didn't know how many people were there. It was basically a sea of heads. As for how many people were on the mountain, Yang Xiao didn't know, but he guessed it was even more crowded than the base.

If a violent incident occurred in a place like this, it would definitely be very serious.

But soon, Yang Xiao saw police officers stationed not far away, and a few people who looked like professional heroes standing nearby smoking.

"Mount Fuji has no entrance fee, so many people come. There used to be even more people than now, but because Mount Fuji's opening hours have been extended, the average daily number of visitors is high." As the older one, Ya Shiyin knew more than Yang Xiao and Toga.

And since he had climbed Mount Fuji once, he knew how difficult it was to reach the summit.

"Then let's get started!" Toga said excitedly, showing her small canine teeth.
