"Really? It turns out that being an artist is so hard." Takagi Tomoko looked suddenly enlightened, and then said with some concern: "What about brother? Is brother so hard?"

"I? It's okay. After all, my main business is a singer. I don't participate in variety shows except for singing. It's not hard to do if there are fewer announcements." Takuro Takagi replied with a smile.

"Yes." Takagi Tomoko nodded without objection, but thought to herself that my brother must have said this on purpose because he didn't want to worry. In fact, he must be very tired, right?

As an artist, Taku Takagi, who is a good person, has no idea that his image in his sister's eyes has become much taller. He looked at the shrine that was close to him and said, "Let's go, let's go and pray for blessings."

"Ah, OK." Takagi Tomoko agreed, then looked at her brother who was already walking in front of her, and then she stepped forward to chase her.

------

Because Takutao Takagi came back a few days in advance this year, the family still chose the time to visit the shrine in the early morning as usual, so it was not yet dawn when he returned home.

My parents are old, and as soon as they get home, they go to the bedroom to take a break. The two brothers and sisters are left with big eyes and are doing nothing in the living room.

"Brother, what are we doing now?" After a while of silence, Takagi Tomoko asked first.

"Don't you sleep for a while?"

"I'm not sleepy, let's talk about my brother finally getting home, so I naturally have to spend more time with you." Tomoko Takagi found a high-sounding reason for herself.

"Well, since Tomoko is not sleepy, let's go climbing the mountain, so you can enjoy the sunrise."

"Climbing the mountain? Well... OK." Takagi Tomoko hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

Use lightweight regular clothes to change into a more ritual-like kimono, and put on a pair of sports shoes suitable for climbing. The two of them walked out of the door and headed towards a nearby hill.

The hill is not very high, but it is not easy to get up. Although there are also mountain paths for people to go up the mountain because they are close to residential areas, because they are not famous mountains and rivers, the mountain paths on this mountain are both narrow and steep.

Fortunately, Taku Takagi has not relaxed in training himself since he became an artist, so this difficulty is quite easy for him. Considering Takagi Tomoko's physical strength, he turned around and pulled his sister from time to time while walking in front of him.

But even so, when he was still 20% away from the top of the mountain, Takuro Takagi stopped with a little distressed feeling. "Is that okay? Otherwise, let's go back." Looking at his sister sitting on the rocks with sweat and breathlessness in front of him, Takuro Takagi was a little annoyed. When he proposed to climb the mountain, why didn't he think that his sister had a heart surgery?

"It doesn't matter, I can do it." After a while, adjusting his breathing, Takagi Tomoko gave his brother a smile, and stood up with his hand.

"Okay, if you really can't hold on, remember to tell your brother, don't show off." Takuro Takagi still reminded him worriedly.

"Don't worry." Takagi Tomoko made a gesture of ok to him and walked towards the top of the mountain.

Shaking her head helplessly, Takuki Taku also stepped onto the mountain road again. This time, in order to prevent any accidents from happening to her, Takuki deliberately walked behind her sister.

However, he underestimated his sister. Although her physical strength was consumed very quickly after undergoing a heart surgery, the girl's perseverance was really amazing. She climbed to the top of the mountain step by step.

"It's finally here." Standing on the top of the mountain, Tomoko Takagi said happily to the brother behind her.

"It's finally here." Taku Takagi also climbed up at this time: "I didn't expect my sister to be so persevering."

"Of course, I will climb more mountains in the future. What is the small mound in front of me?" Takagi Tomoko grimaced at Takagi Taku.

"Yes, yes, my sister will naturally not be defeated by this little difficulty." Takuro Takagi looked at his sister gently and said with a smile.

"Hehe." After receiving the praise from her brother, Tomoko Takagi turned her head embarrassedly, and then she saw a very unforgettable scene for her.

In the east, the sky gradually changed from the white of the fish belly before dawn to the light blue, and then turned into a brilliant pink. A round of tomorrow slowly climbed into the sky towards the morning glow. In an instant, the sky turned into a colorful and magnificent world. The clouds like behind-the-scenes shone with golden red brilliance, like an extremely large carp covered with golden scales, lying across the sky.

The top of the mountain where the two were located was dyed a rose color by the rising sun, and the peaks of the mountains in the distance were also inlaid with silver edges, shining like gold and pink.

"So beautiful." Takagi Tomoko couldn't help but sigh. Her little face was shining like this, and the sweat on her face shone brightly under the rising sun.

"How is it? Although climbing is hard, it's really not in vain, right?" Takuro Takagi stood beside Tomoko Takagi and smiled as he looked at the direction of the sunrise.

"Yes." Takagi Tomoko nodded deeply: "It's like after going through a lot of hardships, I finally realized my wish. The taste of the bitterness and sweetness is even more memorable."

This is true. If they didn't climb to the top of the mountain step by step and see the sunrise, just because the sun rise, which is repeated every day, would never have such a deep impression on them, nor would they have such emotion.

"Does your brother have a dream that you want to realize no matter what?" Takagi Tomoko asked, looking at Takuki beside him.

Do you want to achieve it anyway? Taku Takagi lowered his head and thought about it. A smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth and said, "It's considered there."

After all, I am a person who has lived again, so I naturally want to have a different life. For myself and my sister, he wants to use his strength to create an environment where two people can do what they want to do without restraint and freely.

Although it is almost impossible to have real freedom in Japan's highly hierarchical entertainment circle, Takumi Takagi still wants to give it a try.

"What about you, Tomoko? Do you have such a dream?" Takuki asked back.

"I just want to catch up with my brother, although it seems that my brother has pulled me farther and farther away now." Takagi Tomoko looked at the sun that had risen completely from the mountains.

"Silly sister." Taku Takagi messed up his sister's long hair with a doting look on his face. "Okay, let's go back."

"Yes," Takagi Tomoko responded, pulled Takuki's clothes and followed him to the path down the mountain...
