"elder brother..."

"..."

"elder brother......"

"Brother..."

"What are you doing? You're not sleeping yet."

"Brother, do you feel... very cold..."

"..."

Sakakihara was quiet for a while, and then replied:

"Currently, all the clothes and blankets that can be used to cover the body have been covered."

"...but it's still cold."

"Look, Qiyue, Liuli, and Zhixue are all asleep. Why don't you squeeze into Qiyue's arms more?"

Tianhai Qimingyue: "I'm cold too."

"You didn't sleep in July?"

"Can't sleep."

"Where's Liuli?"

"nor..."

"yuki?"

"Did not sleep."

...

Okay, no one is asleep in love.

The wind and snow were blowing outside the tent, and the remaining warmth inside the blanket was slowly being eroded by the pervasive cold air.

To be honest, Sakakihara Raku also felt cold.

The temperature in the early morning in this deep mountain is probably several degrees lower than in the city...

With the darkness above her head, Suzu Sakakihara shrank her head into the quilt, "You're not really going to freeze to death here tonight..."

Tianhai Qimingyue's voice on the side was as calm as ever: "It's very possible."

Sakakihara Suzu turned to look at her, "...Sister Qiyue, aren't you afraid?"

"I can only say that it would be nice to die together."

"Don't say such scary things, okay..."

"July~~" Tianhai Jiuliuli deliberately prolonged his voice.

Tianhai Qimingyue closed her eyes and pulled the blanket more towards her face, covering her nose, "I know, I know."

"A-Ling is already scared, so don't scare her on purpose. Why don't you tell her something happy?"

"Have no idea."

"What about telling a joke?"

"I can't tell. Brother, what do you want?"

"Why did it suddenly involve me? I only have cold jokes."

"It's so cold, so don't talk about it."

Sakakihara Suzu was very depressed...no one seemed to take the current situation seriously.

This is in the mountains of Hokkaido at several degrees below zero!

Sakakihara Suzu, who was very frightened, turned to the side, stretched out her hand to push the girl's shoulder, "What are yuki thinking? yuki, yuki?"

Amami Nozuki opened her eyes blankly and stared at the top of her head. She didn't react until Suzu Sakakibara called her three times in a row.

"Um?"

"What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking that if we all die together... would it be better to lie in a coffin."

...

...

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Sakakihara Suzu couldn't hold herself any longer and stood up suddenly.

The other four people in the bed all looked at her at the same time.

"I can not make it!!!"

"A-Ling, what are you going to do?"

"It's cold! I'm going out to make a fire!"

Tianhai Qimingyue half-closed her eyes and said, "There is a cold wind outside the tent, so it is better to lie under the quilt."

Sakakibara was speechless, "Stupid girl."

Tianhai Jiuliuli also quickly said, "Yes, Ling, it's not as warm as here outside. How about you come between me and Qiyue, and the two of us can hold you?"

"No! I want to go out and light a fire."

Sakakibara advised: "Azu, it's so cold outside, and the snow is probably dozens of centimeters thick. It's better to stay in the tent."

Tianhai Zhixue also persuaded: "At least we can die together."

Sakakihara Raku: "..."

"I don't want to die together! My life hasn't started yet, I'm not even an adult yet! I, I... I want to die... and I won't die until I'm a hundred years old!"

"Sister-chan will live to be a hundred years old?"

"Why can't I? I'm super healthy! No...I just have to go out and make a fire anyway."

As she spoke, Sakakihara Suzu put on the cotton-padded jacket covering the blanket. After a while, she took a lighter and walked out of the tent.

...

"Brother, why don't you go out and persuade me?"

"I'm cold. Why don't you go in July?"

"I'm cold too. Sister, go."

"...Maybe Ling will come back after she feels colder outside?"

...

Raku Sakakihara reached out and fumbled for the phone beside his pillow, turned on the screen, and used the remaining battery power to check the time.

The time is 3:01 in the morning.

Still no signal.

The weather summary also showed the temperature predicted by the morning weather forecast for tonight. Sakakibara squinted and clicked on it... minus 11 degrees...

...Staying outside for a long time can really freeze someone to death.

Raku Sakakihara is also desperate for the current situation.

According to the amount of snowfall tonight, the road up the mountain and the road down the mountain will definitely be blocked by snow.

In addition, there are basically no food rations for these people. Let alone waiting for rescue, these people will starve to death here.

...unless a few snowshoe hares suddenly pop out tomorrow morning and they are all mauled to death on the tree stump near the tent.

"I remembered."

"What?"

"The male protagonist in "Love Letter" died in the mountains of Hokkaido. It was also snowy. He accidentally stepped off the cliff with the expedition team."

Tianhai Jiuliuli: "...Don't say scary things in Qiyue."

"It's a fact. People get lost in the mountains of Hokkaido every year. Maybe we should be on the list this year."

"..."

These words sounded really terrifying at this time, and several people could be said to be completely in despair.

The national highway was blocked by snow, and we made many twists and turns to reach this mountain in the wilderness, and it happened to be that a heavy snowstorm closed the mountain...

If there hadn't been a good place to set up camp temporarily, Sakakibara believed that several people would have been buried in the snow by now.

"Are you afraid of July?"

"What are you afraid of?"
To be continued...
