After fastening his seatbelt again and reminding Altria, Ye Ziye stepped on the gas. Although he hadn't driven for a long time, this skill was ingrained in his bones and he hadn't become rusty at all.

The pink SUV displayed a speed befitting its color, driving leisurely along the highway.

"Ye Zi, I didn't know you could drive! Do you have a driver's license?"

At this speed, Fujiwara Chika seemed much more relaxed, peeking her head out from behind and asking curiously.

"How could a minor have a driver's license? As for why he is driving, I don't want to answer."

Ye Ziye shook his head, not wanting to continue the conversation. He didn't like driving, but he had one habit when he was driving: he was absolutely focused.

"Tch, boring."

Fujiwara Chika seemed to know that she shouldn't disturb the driver while he was driving, and the air inside the car returned to quiet.

Chapter 345

Mount Ookuma was the name of the mountain the four were going to. Ye Ziye didn't know why it was called such a strange name. He originally thought that since it was a property of the Shinomiya family, it should be called a more romantic name like Mount Kaguya.

Despite its strange name, Da Xiong Mountain is still quite fun to visit. There is a tributary of an inland river nearby, and the scenery is beautiful with its mountains and water. It's just a pity that it's too remote, otherwise it would be worth opening some farmhouses.

Fishing here can yield large river fish weighing over ten kilograms, and you can hunt pheasants and rabbits in the mountains, as well as large prey like wolves and wild boars.

This is a perfect campsite, untouched by humans.

When Ye Ziye arrived at this place, he knew in his heart that perhaps climbing the mountain was no longer the most important thing. Under such circumstances, it would be a waste to just climb the mountain.

"We've finally arrived! The air here is so fresh!"

After finding a parking spot, Fujiwara Chika got out first, shielding her eyes from the scorching sun with her hand, taking a deep breath and stretching.

Her perfect figure was on full display, and Ye Ziye couldn't help but glance at her sideways.

Kaguya Shinomiya and Artoria both lowered their heads, and for some reason, their eyes looked somewhat gloomy.

"The air is indeed very good."

Ye Ziye withdrew her gaze and nodded approvingly. Moreover, the sunlight was diluted by the trees, making the place surprisingly cool.

We're only at the foot of the mountain now. If we climb up, it might feel a bit cold when we wake up in the morning.

"Seriously, this mountain is really big. I thought it was just a small hill."

Fujiwara Chika exclaimed sincerely, knowing that Shinomiya Kaguya's family had such businesses, but she never imagined that this mountain would be so large.

As a native of this island nation, the only mountainous region she had ever visited in this area was Mount Fuji.

"It seems that my family bought this place in the last century, but we never took care of it, so it ended up like this."

Kaguya Shinomiya seemed somewhat surprised, but this was not surprising, as the Shinomiya family had so many businesses that it was impossible for the heir to know them all.

Not to mention that she is not the first heir, and there is an older brother who is many years older than her. This kind of remote industry should be known to those people.

"Leaf, should we climb up?"

Artoria tugged at Ye Ziye's sleeve, asking curiously. She found it very challenging, much more interesting than running.

"Not necessarily, maybe they'll come down from halfway up the mountain."

Ye Ziye did not give a definite answer. Instead, he went to the trunk and took out the backpacks of all four people, two large and two small.

"Here you go."

Ye Ziye handed the two backpacks to the two girls and even touched them slightly. They were very light and had a pleasant fragrance, so it must not be the first time they had used them.

"Ye Zi, you really have no gentlemanly manners. At a time like this, you should be thinking of helping the girl carry her backpack."

Fujiwara Chika shook her finger, speaking in a lecturing tone.

Please don't use this as an excuse to be lazy.

Ye Ziye stared at Fujiwara Chika, ruthlessly exposing her lies.

Fujiwara Chika pouted, but didn't continue to argue, and reluctantly took her backpack.

"By the way, what did you all bring? I need to know the exact amount of supplies before we go up the mountain so I can decide when to start being self-sufficient."

"Good~"

Fujiwara Chika, drawing out the sound, handed over the backpack she had just received; it was quite heavy for her.

"Oh, and don't open that little bag. I can't show you what's inside..."

Fujiwara Chika blushed slightly as she reminded him, and Ye Ziye nodded. He could guess what was inside—probably some kind of personal item belonging to a girl. Now that he'd been reminded, he wouldn't waste his time testing a girl's sense of shame.

Even if the girl is a carefree girl like Fujiwara Chika, it's the same.

Upon opening Fujiwara Chika's backpack, a pleasant fragrance wafted out, not overpowering at all. Ye Ziye's expression remained unchanged; with so many beautiful girls around, he had grown accustomed to the scents.

The most important thing now is to confirm the availability of supplies.

“You brought too much stuff. You’re not very strong, so you should try to reduce the weight and volume. You don’t need to bring this pillow. We’re staying in tents and sleeping in sleeping bags, so there’s nowhere to put the pillow. The same goes for the towel. There’s no place to shower. The same goes for face wash, hand soap, and shower gel. We’re not savages coming to the city to buy things. We’re not staying here permanently. And this thick book, you don’t even read it.”

Ye Ziye tidied up the contents of his backpack, leaving all the unnecessary items in the trunk. Fujiwara Chika watched curiously from the side, surprisingly remaining silent.

For her, this feeling was wonderful. She didn't have to worry about anything; she could just stand aside and wait to play. Someone would give her peace of mind.

Just like... just like that talent show, Ye Ziye guided her throughout, making her feel exceptionally at ease.

"Alright, these are the things we'll need."

There were very few things left in the backpack, which Ye Ziye handed over.

Fujiwara Chika seemed to genuinely believe that this trip was simply for mountain climbing, and the things she brought were quite strange; Ye Ziye even saw a slingshot.

He didn't know what it was for, but the slingshot looked pretty good. It was made of alloy and had a lot of power. He thought it was good, so he kept it for himself. It would be quite convenient to use this to catch pheasants and rabbits.

"Thanks.."

Fujiwara Chika, unusually polite for a moment, quietly thanked him, which surprised Ye Ziye. He had been prepared to be criticized, but to his surprise, nothing came of it.

"President, give me your backpack. You and Secretary Fujiwara are in similar situations, with poor physical strength, so it's better to carry less stuff."

Ye Ziye waved, and Shinomiya Kaguya was taken aback for a moment before obediently handing over her backpack. This was the first time she had ever felt this kind of care.

Kaguya Shinomiya's backpack was in a similar state, except it contained more food, so she had to be more careful when picking through it.

Fujiwara Chika and Shinomiya Kaguya stood obediently beside Ye Ziye, carefully watching the boy's hand movements.

Artoria stood on the other side watching the three of them. For some reason, she felt a little smug. Living with Ye Ziye, she didn't need to pick and choose things from different places.

Early in the morning at home, Ye Ziye had already made arrangements for her.

Silently, Artoria raised her little head, her golden hair dancing in the wind and shimmering in the sunlight.

Chapter 346

About ten minutes later, Ye Ziye clapped his hands and returned the neatly packed backpack to Shinomiya Kaguya.

He put some extra toiletries in the trunk, leaving only some personal items for girls, essential skincare products, and food.

"Alright, all packed up, let's go."

Since both my and Artoria's backpacks had already been packed in advance, there was no need to pack them again.

"I didn't expect you to know about this, Yezi."

Kaguya Shinomiya took the backpack and looked at Ye Ziye with a strange expression, but it wasn't entirely unexpected.

It seems that the boy having a variety of skills is not a special thing; for other people, it would naturally be a good advantage.

But for Ye Ziye, what's ever attractive about him isn't these qualities, but his personality.

At least that's the case for Kaguya Shinomiya. As a genius, she has so many skills that this kind of knowledge simply doesn't appeal to her.

"I have some understanding of it."

Ye Ziye was never willing to explain the skills he had learned in his previous life. Perhaps it was a common problem among transmigrators; they always felt that revealing such things would not do them any good.

Especially now that he's integrating well into this world, he's even less inclined to reveal this.

Perhaps someone will come along in the future who will make him break this rule, but that's how he feels now.

"I see..."

Kaguya Shinomiya nodded and didn't ask any more questions. She was never one to pry, and besides, it wasn't a very important question; she was just expressing her opinion.

"Yeah, Yezi, you're pretty amazing."

Fujiwara Chika jumped up, nudged Ye Ziye's shoulder with her own, and raised an eyebrow, acting like a total slacker.

Ye Ziye sighed helplessly, and instead of gently rubbing Fujiwara Chika's head, he pressed it down with his hand.

"Saber, come along, let's go."

He didn't want to linger there. With the sun blazing down, he figured he wouldn't be able to climb much further today. The best course of action was to walk uphill and find a perfect campsite.

Artoria nodded and hopped over, carrying a backpack that was wider than herself.

Ye Ziye released Fujiwara Chika and walked straight ahead, taking the initiative to lead the way. Anyway, none of the people present knew the terrain, so they just needed to find their way out eventually.

"You wretched Ye Ziye, how rude of you!"

Once released, Fujiwara Chika raised her head and shouted loudly, which was quite unladylike, but she received no reply.

Because apart from her, the other three people had already gone far away.

After pausing for a moment, Fujiwara Chika, adhering to the principle that a good woman doesn't argue with a man, gave a soft hum and then quickly followed.

She decided that after returning home, she would find a way to grow taller, and she couldn't let Ye Ziye bully her without any power to fight back.

At noon, the sound of cicadas filled the air as the four of them slowly made their way uphill, showing no sign of urgency and exchanging a few words every now and then.

"Artoria, isn't it heavy for you to carry such a big backpack?"

"Fortunately."

To be honest, Artoria said that the weight was okay for her, but it was too big and it affected her movement a little.

"Is it really not heavy?"

Fujiwara Chika curiously poked it. She was skeptical, but Artoria was so petite, yet she didn't show any change in expression while carrying it, so it must not be heavy.

Then she shook her head. Artoria couldn't be judged by normal standards; she had witnessed the girl's astonishing appetite firsthand.

"Artoria, may I carry your backpack?"

Fujiwara Chika has always been someone who seeks the truth through practical actions, but this time she was quite nervous, worried that she would lose face if she couldn't pick it up.
