The next morning, there was indeed a massive crowd gathered at the foot of my mountain. Oh boy... I’m getting dizzy.

Just like last time, I requested that everyone turn off their phones. I could hear some of the kids in the crowd who had participated on the 8th yelling “We know!” but it was still something that had to be said—I didn’t want the chickens going viral on social media.

I directed the adults to evenly distribute themselves along the route.

Katsuragi-san approached me, seeming impressed by the crowd. “Good morning, Sano-san. This is a lot of people.”

Aikawa-san discreetly took a few steps back. Still not very comfortable around her, I see.

“Good morning, Katsuragi-san. Yup—the Loud Mountain group will consist of eleven children, Pochi, Tama, you and me, and four other adults. It’ll be a total of seventeen people and two chickens.”

“Got it. Let’s do our very best!”

This wasn’t anything so complicated that it warranted “doing our very best,” but the sentiment was nice. Besides, there’d been a good amount of traffic around here these past four days, so we still had to stay vigilant.

“All right then—let’s go!”

“Let’s go!” the children repeated. Thanks.

The chickens were wearing the ponchos Katsuragi-san had made for them, with the zippers poking out from underneath. The people who didn’t live in the village stared at them curiously.

Despite it being so early in the morning (the sun hadn’t fully risen), the kids were as peppy as ever. Along the route, we came across way too many cigarette butts. I wish people would throw them out properly. I let out a sigh every time I saw plastic bottles and such on the ground, though I figured some of them must have been carried here by the wind.

Shortly after crossing Loud Mountain, we stopped for a quick break, and after, we turned around and headed back the way we came. The adults standing along the road joined us on our way back. The nonlocals seemed particularly intrigued by the chickens, who were looking around here and there, pecking at all sorts of things, and informing us when they saw trash on the ground. These chickens really are something.

By the time we were back at my mountain, I was already pretty strained mentally—interacting with adults from outside the village took a toll on my nerves. The people who’d stayed behind to organize the barbecue had already started preparing the food. We’re almost done—just a little bit left.

Aikawa-san’s hunter friend, Kawanaka-san, was also participating today, and he came over to chat once everyone had started eating. “Sano-kun, good job out there.”

“Hello. Thanks for joining us today.”

“You know, I came because I was interested in the chickens, but I didn’t expect there to be so many couples... It’s tough being a bachelor here.”

“Hmm? I don’t really think so.”

As we spoke, Kawanaka-san’s eyes weren’t pointing at me but in another direction. I followed his gaze to find...

Well, yeah. Katsuragi-san is pretty cute.

Katsuragi-san seemed to be having fun chatting with Yumoto-san’s sons’ wives.

“Say, Sano-kun, how old is the young lady over there?”

“Younger than me.
