Chapter 10

"You cannot live life to the fullest until you can overcome your mountain. Like how you just climbed this mountain. All you needed was a little confidence."

- Pilse Dunant to Teru Momijiyama

"I Hate It" (いよ) is the fourth chapter of Volume 2, and tenth overall of SHY manga series.

Summary
Teru Momijiyama is trying to call the stationery owner, but her public speaking skills are poor. Right after, Chihiro Nagata welcomes her. Teru soon notices how tired she looks and the old man says her back has been hurting since her husband passed away three years ago. Asking what she came to do there, Teru said she remembered the Dandelion Mountain painting as she had passed by it today.

Chihiro reveals that her husband had painted it, and that they hiked the mountain together every year, but she has been going alone since he died. Suddenly, she grunts in pain due to her back.

Upon arriving home, Teru thought she was losing interest in the places she'd been going before, and wondering if she could do something for Chihiro. Then someone is at the door and upon answering, she doesn't recognize Lady Black in her civil identity, Pilse Dunant, who was there to give her a medical checkup.

After the checkup, Pilse is happy that her power was so efficient, but Teru remembers something and asks her for a favor. Even though she says that she should come back immediately, the two soon go to talk to Chihiro so that the Hero of Switzerland can help her with her health issues. Chihiro then asks Pilse if she would be able to hike the mountain once the pain is gone, and she agrees, but on the condition that she and Teru accompany her.

Soon the three are at the foot of the mountain and begin to hike it. Teru is having trouble keeping up and asks Pilse if she used to climb mountains before and, upon receiving a positive response, imagines that she must love mountains, but Pilse says that she actually hates them. People laughed and told her that she would never be able to hike, but she did it anyway. Teru asks why they would laugh at her, but Pilse says she would only tell her if she made it to the top of the mountain alive.

Barely making it, Teru arrives at the top of the mountain long after Pilse and Chihiro, who was pondering on her own. Walking away, Pilse offers her a bottle of water, surprised that she is so tired by a mountain that isn't even that high. Teru resumes the subject from before, doubting the other's words that they would laugh at her.

Pilse then takes off one of her legs, revealing that both are fake for having lost them in an accident some time ago. She just looked so natural walking in them as she climbed up and down mountains every day. Using her own life story, Pilse advises Teru to overcome her mountain and have more confidence in herself. Thus, she says that her opinion of Teru had only slightly improved. Chihiro soon calls the two to come back.

They both say goodbye to Chihiro and Teru thanks Pilse for helping out, noting that she really likes helping people. She blushes and, in a rather tsundere style, says that she could help her every now and then, telling her to visit Chihiro once in a while and that she would come back. Teru starts to recognize herself a little.
