Guangyou shrank his neck: "It's incredibly cold."
The mountaintop is 3700 meters above sea level, and the cold night wind is howling.
Only the hot drink in my hand could retain a trace of warmth.
Guangyou has complained about the lack of entertainment options in this era more than once or twice.
If it were his past life, Guangyou would definitely be sitting in a sheltered spot scrolling through his phone. 4G signal was available along the route to the summit of Mount Fuji, and the summit was packed with people, with drums and firecrackers going off everywhere.
The firecrackers and drums were made up by Guangyou, but you can still see the whole fireworks display from the mountaintop during the fireworks festival.
It was true that there were a lot of people. At that time, the platform was packed with people. If you wanted to see a good view, you had to get up early and climb to the top of the mountain to find the front row seats.
It's only 2:50 now, about two hours until sunrise.
For the next two hours, Kōyū could only sit next to Ai. He tried to find topics to talk about, and Ai chatted with him in a bit.
Sonoko and Ran, wrapped in aluminum foil thermal blankets, leaned against each other to keep warm and rest.
Only Conan remained, huddled under the blanket, sitting beside Sonoko and gazing enviously at her spot.
Time ticked by, and Kōyū checked his watch. The hands were at 3:50. After leaving the blanket for Ai, Kōyū got up to set up the camera.
Compared to sunset, time-lapse photography of sunrise is more breathtaking. After editing it back home, it truly gives you the feeling that "this scene should only exist in heaven."
Gradually, more and more tourists arrived at the mountaintop, but it wasn't as crowded as it had been in my previous life.
As time passed, a rosy glow appeared on the horizon.
This red glow stirred the emotions of many tourists, who all took out their cameras to capture the moment.
Conan also woke up Sonoko and the other girl. They rubbed their eyes and came over to admire the sunrise.
By 4:30, the red glow on the horizon grew stronger, and a patch of blue appeared in the dark sky. A faint golden hue formed where the blue sky met the red glow.
As the sun rises, the lights of every household remain on, and the golden glow gradually takes center stage, with the Fuji Five Lakes clearly visible in the distance.
The white clouds were also tinged with orange-red by the rising sun.
Mount Fuji is the highest peak in Japan. Standing on the summit, Kōyū also experienced a real sense of being on top of the world, and it felt smaller than just a little bit.
The sun hadn't risen yet, but the clouds on the horizon were already a deep red, as if they had been burned.
Sonoko and Ran, their eyes reflecting the breathtaking scenery, couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
Even Ai Haibara, who usually has a cool demeanor, was captivated by the scenery. She opened her mouth slightly and exclaimed, "These fiery clouds are so beautiful."
A few minutes later, the sun finally peeked out from the sea, appearing as small as a grain of rice.
Sonoko pointed to that corner and said excitedly, "The sun has finally come out."
Xiaolan smiled and nodded, also touched by the scene, and the fatigue from staying up all night to climb the mountain seemed to vanish.
Next, the sun rose slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the golden color became more and more intense. After three or four minutes, more than half of it was already visible.
A vast expanse of clouds and mist steadily held up a red sun. In an instant, this deep red round object suddenly emitted a dazzling light that hurt the eyes, and the clouds next to it also suddenly became radiant.
Looking into the distance, Kōyū quietly took Ai's hand. Even though this wasn't the first time, he could still feel his heart racing each time.
Ai was in the same boat. With so many people around, she could only suppress her shyness and try to distract herself with the beautiful scenery in front of her.
Conan forgot everything, completely unaware that the blanket on his body had fallen to the ground, and all his complaints during the climb vanished in that instant.
The fiery red clouds lasted for more than ten minutes. After that, the reddish-brown clouds gradually faded, and the color slowly turned golden.
Around 5 o'clock, the sun had disappeared from everyone's sight and hidden behind the clouds. Only the golden light it cast could be seen through the clouds, like a miracle described in a myth.
Another ten minutes or so passed, and the sunrise viewing was over. The rest was up to Guangyou to go back and beautify the photos, enhancing the light streaks that peeked through the clouds, which would definitely create a fairyland-like feeling.
Guangyou could look at this beautiful scenery for a lifetime and never get tired of it, especially since the person he loves is by his side.
After watching the sunrise, Ran and Sonoko stood in front of the shrine waiting for it to open.
Those places are beautiful, but the summit of Mount Fuji is completely bare, you can't find a single patch of green, so it's not very aesthetically pleasing.
There's also a post office at the summit of Mount Fuji. After you reach the top, you can buy a summit certificate there, attach your photo, sign your name, and they'll stamp it for you.
The Vajra Staff in Guangyou's hand is covered with patterns. This is not only proof of reaching the summit, but also proof that you mustered the courage to climb to the top.
Otherwise, why would so many people climb Mount Everest? A large number of them go to prove themselves.
Later, with the advancement of technology, as long as your body can keep up, you can go up there if you pay money.
After Kōyū and Ai walked around the crater, Rin and the others had just come out of the shrine.
Each of them held two amulets in their hands, and their faces were flushed, whether from the wind or something else, it was hard to tell.
After the four of them gathered, they prepared to go down the mountain, and indeed, as the old saying goes, "Going up the mountain is easy, but going down the mountain is hard."
