Encouragement of Climb - S04

As Aoi Yukimura reflects on her past adventures, she feels the pull of the mountains again. When Koharu Senjuin, the head of the school's Mountaineering Club, invites her to check out their activities, Aoi listens as Koharu excitedly describes the club's competitive drive and their relentless pursuit of victory. Though Aoi admires their passion, she hesitates to join, preferring to climb at her own rhythm. Still, the visit stirs something in her-a quiet question about why she climbs at all. With her friends by her side, she begins to search for the deeper meaning behind her love for mountaineering. Meanwhile, she keeps training, preparing for her long-awaited second attempt to conquer Mt. Fuji.
