Chapter 11 09 First Companion

After having dinner together that day, Kiyota-kun said: "So, where are we going tomorrow?" Listening to his tone, it seems that it is a matter of course for the two of us to ride together, and I am a little at a loss. "Well, in that case, let's go to Jasper??????" I'm a little worried, but I don't really hate him.Before I knew it, I became interested in this guy who smiled like a teenager. I thought it would be interesting for two people to ride together for a while. Once on the road, he naturally rode behind me, which was a bit surprising.He may seem self-centered, but he doesn't seem to be.I am a person who likes to ride ahead rather than follow behind. Maybe we can form a good partner!

Canada's mountains are perfect for a bike tour, with soaring peaks and crayon-like lakes popping up along the way.I am easily moved, every time I yell "Oh oh oh!", and when I look back, I can see the joy shining on Kiyota-kun's face, the two people's eyes met, they exchanged smiles, and shared that It's not bad to be touched for a moment! It wasn't until the first night when the two of us officially became partners that I realized that this sturdy partner is incompetent in cooking Desperate.I also heard an amazing fact: he eats instant noodles for dinner every day, and because he is afraid of trouble, he doesn’t even eat vegetables.

too lazy to let go.My face twitched and I said, "Then I'll cook Kiyota-kun's portion too." Kiyota-kun nodded desperately, "Okay, okay!" I still like to cook, from basic stir-fried vegetables to vegetable soup, even meat with green peppers, sweet and sour meatballs, etc. need a little work I can cook dishes, and I don't hate cooking for others.It's the kind of person who sees other people's food well, and he will be very happy. In this sense, Kiyota-kun is a "good customer", no matter what he eats, he will be moved and say: "It's delicious! It's delicious!" Seeing how delicious he eats, it seems to be really delicious, and I suddenly became serious , When I was riding a bike during the day, I was also thinking: "What dishes should I cook tonight?" Immersed in the happiness of a newlywed wife.

I made ragout the other day, and the salami I added had such a strong sour taste that the whole dish was unpalatable.I just tasted it, and I apologized with a bitter face, and when I turned my head to look at Kiyota-kun, he said, "It's so delicious!" and chewed it.My enthusiasm for cooking suddenly shrank rapidly. However, after knowing him for a while, I finally understood that this is his characteristic gentleness, and he always showed tolerance and generosity naturally. When I first met him, I was intimidated by his unique appearance and just wanted to run away.But since I started traveling with him, I gradually feel that he is like my friend for many years.Also, the fact that both of us were working towards the same goal of traveling the world in the same year was enough to create some kind of fantastic relationship.

It seems that my friendship with this person will last for a long time. After two weeks with him, we broke up in the small town of Lake Louise.From here, our routes diverged, he went east and I rode west. We rode all the way to the bifurcation point of the national road, paused, and took off our gloves: "See you in Mexico!" We made a promise and held each other's hands tightly.Kiyota-kun narrowed his slender eyes and smiled brightly at me.I looked at him, couldn't help the corners of my eyes getting hot, so I had to smile and fool around.After riding for a while and looking back, it happened that he also turned his head, and we waved to each other again, and each of us embarked on our own journey again.

The vision expanded rapidly. The mountain scenery slowly passes by without a sound, and the feeling of loneliness once upon a time is gone, replaced by a sense of liberation. Perhaps bicycle travel is more suitable for a person to go?I think so.Everyone rides at different speeds and rests differently. No matter how harmoniously you get along with each other, you still have to compromise with each other, and the pressure will accumulate unconsciously.Although it is fun to ride with friends, it is easier to go alone for a long-term trip! As I move forward, I don't hesitate to sing loudly if I want to sing, and I don't care to rest immediately if I want to rest.

Turning a bend, a unique mountain suddenly appeared in front of you, which is "Cathedral Rock Mountain (Mt. Cathedral)".Huge rock pillars scramble to stretch skyward, like a cathedral indeed. Immediately, I was full of excitement, and turned my head without thinking, but I could no longer see the familiar smiling face of Mushroom Head, only a blue sky that was so vast that it was almost transparent. I quickly turned around and opened my throat and shouted: "You stupid!"
