Uesugi Sakura reacted, quickly expressing her gratitude: "Thank you."
The uncle smiled: "It's no problem. Let's get her inside first."
Inside the cabin, a female clerk was attending to customers. After Uesugi Sakura helped Hanabi inside, the clerk had her sit down next to the oxygen machine.
With the oxygen tube on, Hanamaru Hanabi's lips, which had turned purple, began to regain their color shortly after.
Though she remained unconscious.
"First time climbing a mountain?"
Uesugi Sakura looked up and realized it was the same uncle from earlier.
"Yes."
"It's normal to experience this the first time. No need to worry."
"Thank you." Uesugi Sakura thanked him once again.
"Haha, if you're to thank me, how about buying a few cups of coffee while you're at it?"
"Coffee...?"
Only then did Uesugi Sakura realize the identity of the uncle.
"Alright..."
"What would you like?" The uncle asked with a smile.
"Just the simplest mocha will do."
