She remembered that the redness of sunburn was a deep red, but Fujiwara Chika's face was pink, more like shyness than sunburn.

But now she doesn't want to think about that anymore; focusing on enjoying the present is the most important thing.

After the two girls finished talking, Ye Ziye put his backpack on the ground, clapped his hands, and said...

"Let's camp here today. We don't need to go too far on the first day, especially since there are injured people in the group..."

Ye Ziye looked at Fujiwara Chika and, feeling her gaze, the girl lowered her head shyly. Perhaps it wasn't shyness, but more of a sense of shame.

But she is Fujiwara Chika; feelings of shame don't last long for her, and neither does shyness.

"Why here? It would be so much better by the river."

Fujiwara Chika looked around for a while. She remembered that there was a river two or three hundred meters to the east. This place was too remote, and the TV dramas always showed people camping near rivers.

With just one glance, Ye Ziye knew what Fujiwara Chika was thinking, and explained as he opened his backpack.

"Haven't you seen on TV that when you pitch a tent by the river, someone always lights a fire and keeps watch? Pitching a tent by the river is silly. This mountain is pristine, with lots of wild animals, and many of them like to come down to the river to drink at night. They'll be curious if they see a tent, and you don't want to be woken up by a wild boar's tongue tomorrow morning, do you? Or if you're willing to keep watch, that's fine too..."

"Let's forget about it."

Fujiwara Chika waved her hands and shook her head. She had only ever seen wild boars on TV, and they looked terrifying.

She decided to refrain from expressing her opinion and instead focus on being a naive girl. With Ye Ziye by her side, she had nothing to worry about; the boy understood everything and would take care of everything.

Seeing that Fujiwara Chika was no longer speaking, Ye Ziye did not continue to explain. He took out several wires and an electric discharger from his backpack, just in case.

"President Shinomiya, Saber, you two go and collect some wood around here. I need it."

Ye Ziye made a fuss over the two beautiful girls without any pity. The reason she didn't call them Fujiwara Chika was because she was afraid they would do more harm than good.

The two girls didn't ask any more questions. After exchanging a glance, they went their separate ways. Both girls could tell that Ye Ziye knew about this kind of knowledge.

Not long after, the two girls returned from afar, each bringing back some wood. Artoria brought back more, while Kaguya brought back less, but it was enough.

The pieces of wood were nailed to the ground to form a circle, and the movement of potentially aggressive animals was calculated. Once the circle was set up, the metal wire was wrapped around it and finally connected to the discharge device.

This electric discharger, equipped with an electric cart, releases an electric current and makes a sound when an animal approaches.

For safety reasons, Ye Ziye did not choose equipment with excessively high current, thinking that the possibility of encountering large animals was also very small. The main purpose of making this equipment was to deter them.

Another important reason is that I was worried that Fujiwara Chika might play around with it, and if she used a large current, it would be difficult to treat her if she were injured.

Ye Ziye felt a little more at ease after rummaging through his pocket for the alloy slingshot he had just embezzled from Fujiwara Chika. This slingshot (Zhao Li's) could be used to hunt rabbits and pheasants.

Watching Ye Ziye methodically tidy everything up, Shinomiya Kaguya wasn't idle either. She took out a simple tent from her backpack. She had studied this kind of knowledge beforehand, so setting up a tent was no problem for her.

Artoria took out some snacks from her bag and shared some with Fujiwara Chika. The two girls watched Ye Ziye's actions together, their beautiful eyes filled with curiosity.

"Artoria, do you really think there are wild boars?"

After taking a bite of a potato chip, Fujiwara Chika asked this question, her cute face showing a serious expression.

"do not know."

Artoria also took a bite of potato chip, shook her head, but then changed the subject.

"If I had one, I would protect you!"

Fujiwara Chika's hand, which was reaching for potato chips, froze, deeply impressed by Artoria's masculinity.

Chapter 349

"So handsome..."

Fujiwara Chika expressed her sincere admiration, because Artoria possessed an innate aristocratic air and just now looked like a prince.

"what?"

Artoria didn't hear clearly, so she turned her head and asked again, her ahoge (cowlick) bobbing up and down.

"nothing!"

Fujiwara Chika snapped out of her daze and waved her hands repeatedly, realizing she had truly lost her mind. However, Artoria's posture just now was indeed very cool and reassuring.

Just like... just like Ye Ziye!

Fujiwara Chika finally realized that Artoria's appearance just now was exactly like Ye Ziye's during that cultural performance.

The boy didn't say such cool lines at the time, but he protected her with his actions.

After thinking for a moment, Fujiwara Chika shook her head again. She felt that she was really acting strangely and that she should pay more attention to it in the future.

After watching Ye Ziye's work for a while, she found it uninteresting and turned to find Shinomiya Kaguya. Although she didn't know how to set up a tent, it wouldn't hurt to go and take a look.

As for Artoria, she silently took out another bag of snacks, sat down on the ground, and just stared at it, lost in thought.

Perhaps he was worried about what would happen if Garfield ate all the cat food at home.

"Kaguya-san! How's it going?"

When she reached the busy Kaguya Shinomiya, Chika Fujiwara immediately squatted down, her big eyes sparkling.

"It should be alright..."

Kaguya Shinomiya clapped her hands, a hint of worry on her face. Even a genius like her was struggling with this.

Although I've watched related videos online and thought I'd learned it, it's still a bit difficult to actually do it, not just in terms of technique but also strength. In short, it's quite difficult to operate.

Although Fujiwara Chika seemed a bit silly, she was actually quite shrewd. She immediately saw through Shinomiya Kaguya's predicament, stepped forward, took her hand, and said...

"Kaguya-san, why don't you go play for a while? You've finally managed to get out here..."

The standard coquettish tone made Kaguya Shinomiya pause for a moment. She liked the feeling of being taken care of, but the pride she had developed since childhood made her want to do things on her own.

"But..."

"No buts, hurry up and go. Yezi will arrange everything. Maybe the tents will already be set up by the time we get back."

Fujiwara Chika still wouldn't give up. She wanted to go out with Shinomiya Kaguya, or perhaps with Yoko Yoru and Artoria, but both of them were busy.

"Shinomiya, you and Fujiwara go ahead. I'll set up the tents later."

Ye Ziye, who was walking around the fence, happened to come across the scene and overheard their conversation. She then spoke up.

He hadn't expected anyone to help him out on this trip, so Kaguya's gesture was already a huge relief. However, setting up a tent was still quite a challenge for a girl.

He needed some time to finish his work, and rather than let Kaguya Shinomiya waste her time here, he'd rather go play with Chika Fujiwara. 7

Upon hearing this, a flicker of hesitation crossed Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes; she didn't want Ye Ziye to shoulder all the work.

Seemingly sensing Kaguya Shinomiya's thoughts, Chika Fujiwara continued, "0"

"Then let's hurry back and help Yezi set up the tent, okay?"

Fujiwara Chika didn't want Yoru to shoulder all the work. Although she enjoyed this leisurely lifestyle, she wasn't extremely lazy; moderate exercise was fine, and she wanted to share some of the burden.

It's just that Ye Ziye is really too amazing. Whenever they travel together, she doesn't think much and just wants to have fun.

Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes lit up. This plan suited her ideas. Judging from the current progress, it would take Ye Ziye a little longer to finish the fence. If the playtime was short, she could help set up the tent when they returned.

"Ye Zi, shall I... leave?"

"Ah."

Ye Ziye bent over without turning around. He didn't know why Shinomiya Kaguya wanted to ask him, but since someone had asked, it was better to respond. This was a principle that Ms. Kato had taught him.

Having received a response, Kaguya Shinomiya did not hesitate any longer and let Chika Fujiwara pull her along, heading towards a certain place.

Having finally managed to get out of the house, she wanted to have some fun like other girls her age.

"Saber, aren't you going?"

Looking at Artoria who was still by his side, Ye Ziye couldn't help but ask, if possible, he didn't want the girl to be alone, it would be best if she went out to play with the other two.

"Don't go."

Without the slightest hesitation, Artoria refused outright, and before Ye Ziye could ask why, she continued...

"I haven't finished my potato chips yet, and I want to stay with you."

After a slight pause, Ye Ziye didn't continue to persuade him, letting Artoria stay by his side. Since they were out to relax, they should do whatever made them comfortable.

Sunlight streamed down as the handsome young man did rough work that didn't suit his temperament and appearance, while the beautiful young woman watched silently from the side, occasionally stuffing something into her mouth, making her cute little face puff up.

Elsewhere, two beautiful girls were also laughing happily.

"Kaguya-san, over here!"

Fujiwara Chika waved. She had discovered this place while climbing the mountain; it was a clear stream.

The pebbles here are so beautiful, big and smooth. Fujiwara Chika decided to find some large ones, just like in the movies, and build a pretty stove. When it's time to eat, Yoko could cook delicious food for her on it.

Besides, the stream is still water, which makes up for the regret of not being able to go to the beach. It wouldn't be bad to stay here and play with Kaguya Shinomiya for a while. Maybe we can even catch some small fish and shrimp.

"Coming to the mountain for fun is a good idea!"

As such thoughts arose in Fujiwara Chika's mind, her mood improved somewhat.

Looking at Kaguya Shinomiya, Yoru Yoru in the distance, and Artoria, she felt even more strongly about it. She decided that she must organize more events like this in the future!

Chapter 350

The sun was shining brightly, the clouds were rolling and stretching, and the trees in the mountains were so dense that the sunlight dappled the ground.

The stream rippled gently, and the wet pebbles, glistening with moisture, took on a grayish-black hue. The water flowed through the riverbed, creating ripples that were obstructed by the pebbles.

Clumps of reeds grew on the shallows, and Fujiwara Chika peered at them carefully, seemingly afraid that a snake might suddenly emerge from them, yet also seemingly anticipating that something unique might be hidden within.

Kaguya Shinomiya was no exception; she no longer possessed her previous unique and composed demeanor and looked on with some nervousness.

Both girls took off their shoes, revealing their fair and tender little feet, which stepped into the shallow river and reflected a dazzling white light in the sunlight.

Unfortunately, no one here appreciates it, and the two girls won't even acknowledge each other.

"Kaguya-san, do you think there might be crabs or shrimp under these bushes and rocks?"

Fujiwara Chika asked curiously, her big eyes sparkling, and she smacked her lips from time to time, as if imagining what delicious dishes Ye Ziye could make if they caught crabs.

"I don't know..."

Kaguya Shinomiya shook her head and uttered a few words she had rarely spoken in her life; in this respect, she truly lacked knowledge.

She had genuinely thought that the group of people had come to hike, and all they needed was physical strength, and at most, they would just need to pitch tents overnight. Now it seemed that she had underestimated the importance of physical fitness.

Fortunately, Ye Ziye was among the group, which made this oversight virtually negligible.

"It's okay. If you don't know, you should try it out!"
