I'm a young backpacker traveling around Japan. At a hostel where I'm staying for a couple of weeks, I meet a Japanese girl my age. She's a real tomboy who loves the outdoors, and know even more about it than me. We go on a lot of hikes together, visit historical sites, and climb a mountain. In the evenings we go to local izakayas and get drunk and eat yakiniku together - she always eats more than me.
After a week or two, I've become rather fond of her, but she doesn't seem interested. In fact, she treats me like a little brother, even though I'm only a year younger than her. She suggests to me that we go and hike up a nearby volcano as there's supposedly a natural hot spring up there that not many people know about. We make the hike and manage to get to the spot right before sundown. We set up camp and watch the sunset together before hitting the hot spring. She insists we can bathe together since it's dark now, but my eyes get used to the darkness and I can see her body in the dark, a silhouette of curves that's usually hidden beneath layers of outdoor clothes. I catch her looking in my direction a couple of times, and the short conversations we have are all tense and awkward. Afterwards, we eat dinner in silence, and we each go to our individual tents. I let mine be open as I smoke a cigarette and stare at the landscape below a starry sky as I hear her come over. She's wearing a raggy pyjamas, and says nothing as she pushes herself on top of me. We make tender, quiet love together, and it turns out she was a virgin before. After we finish, we curl up together in my tent and talk about our lives and feelings, and she opens herself up and reveals a very girlish and insecure side of herself.
We continue traveling together in Japan, and it turns out that she's pregnant. We marry, and open a campground lodge near Mount Fuji and live our lives happily ever after raising tough, outdoorsy kids and enjoying the pleasures of a simple life.
