Chapter 206: Awa Odori in front of Kogen Temple, Yui and I play hide and seek (4th Update)
In Japan, there is a dance called Awa Odori, also known as Awa Odori.
Awa is the former name of Tokushima, which means that this dance is a local dance.
It is characterized by wearing a ritual drape and dancing a dance that resembles a sacrifice.
Well, it's true that it's very similar to the sacrifice, but now, this kind of activity is more like a carnival, and it doesn't have the sacrificial meaning of the past, especially the Awa dance.
In Japan, August is the main time for Awa Odori events, and the most famous of them is Suginami Ward.
Suginami District, Koenji, there is a subway station here.
When Higashino Qiang came out of the subway, he saw a vast number of people.
It is said that more than 1 million people come to watch this Awa Odori parade at Koenji Temple.
Higashino Qiang came to this kind of place, and there were so many people, he naturally had to make some changes.
After all, I'm an honest man who is also Higashino Sama, isn't it.,So,This changeγγγ
Wearing the mask of a second senior brother.
Yes, it is the kind that children often use to play, and it is indeed more expensive to buy in Japan, but if you buy it in Chinese mainland, it will cost five yuan a day.
But this thing ......
Higashino Qiang once asked if he could wear the mask of his senior brother.
As for who the senior brother and the second senior brother are, of course Yui knows, and she has told this story to this girl before.
However, Yui said very firmly.
I just want to see Ernie Chan wearing the mask of the second senior brother.
This girl is really......
Wear it, what are you afraid of, I'm Dongye Qiang so handsome, even if it is covered by the appearance of the second senior brother, it is also the most handsome second senior brother.
It didn't take long to get out of the subway.
"Hey!"
"Oops! β
"Haha...... Ernie sauce, you really wore this thing. β
"Didn't you tell me to wear it? β
Yui appeared, she came over quietly and patted Higashino Qiang, which made Higashino Qiang a little surprised.
Sure enough, I can recognize it behind me, which completely shows that the mask of these two senior brothers does not affect me at all.
However, when he turned around and saw Yui like this, Higashino Qiang was also a little surprised.
This girl's figure is getting better and better, taller, and today she is wearing a light blue sundress that shows her shoulders, and her youthful atmosphere makes people want to go up and smell it.
Well, Higashino is an honest man.
However, one of her pretty faces was also hidden by a mask.
Higashino remembers that he bought it when he was in Okinawa.
"Do you still have this?"
"Ernie sauce bought it for me, why should I lose it?"
"Haha, yes, yes, it's my good sister. β
"You're not a good sister, but you're my Ernie sauce. β
This is really a bit contradictory, but Higashino Qiang doesn't dwell on this matter.
"So, you're here today to watch the Awa Odori show?"
"yes, what's the problem?"
"No problem, of course no problem, but why do I always think that this girl of yours will give some problems. β
"Ernie sauce, aren't you?
"Ahem...... No, no, no, no. β
"You just have!"
"Not really!"
"Ernie sauce, don't tell the truth, huh. β
The two of them talked as they walked, looking for a good place to watch this Awa dance, but Higashino Qiang felt that Yui's girl was very offensive today.
Am I being overly sensitive?
"Well, do you want to eat ice cream?" Higashino forced to divert attention and bribe Dafa.
Yui's face under the mask of the little fox was already laughing, but she still said, "Oni-chan! β
Higashino scratched his head, as if he didn't say anything right, what was going on?
"Then you don't eat or drink?"
"What! Ernie sauce is going to have a treat, of course! That, iced coffee bar, this thing seems to be more weight loss. β
"My God, you girl, throw the little pear blossom to me as the master, and now I have to be the master myself, my Oni-chan life is really bitter. β
Although Higashino Qiang's face was covered by the beauty of the second senior brother, in this tone, the sadness could not be concealed.
"Hahaha......" Yui really can't help it, Ernie chan is too good at telling jokes, but ......
"Are you going to buy it?"
"Okay, okay, don't worry. β
It didn't take long for Higashino Qiang to buy a drink and come back, two glasses of black coffee.
In this kind of weather, of course, you have to add ice to drink American black coffee, but in fact, black coffee, which rarely adds other things, still needs to be heated to drink, because only heating can make the aroma of coffee overflow.
It's a pity that the weather is too hot, what kind of heat to add, how many ice cubes to put as much ice as possible.
Higashino Qiang is dressed very simply today, with a big vest and big pants.
Well, it's about the same as the crowd here.
Although the Awa Odori at Koenji Temple is famous in Japan and can be used as a ritual, the Japanese themselves do not wear traditional costumes, so they mostly just come to see the fun.
But since it's to see the excitement, of course there is a problem of occupying a position.
In the vicinity of this high temple, since four o'clock in the afternoon, there have been many people, with their families, all the covers are fully equipped, and they have found a good location, waiting to see this Awa dance.
There are really a lot of people, and there is no good position.
So......
"Do you want to play the same old routine?"
"Oh!
Higashino Qiang's words, Yui could understand them at once, as if when they were in Okinawa before, Yui would let Higashino Qiang carry them, so that they could easily see what they wanted to see.
But now, they're big girls.
Higashino wanted to squat down, but Yui shook her head.
"Ernie sauce, it can't be like this. β
"Oh, I was just kidding. β
Higashino chuckled.
Yui couldn't help it.
But at this time, the Awa dance began.
This dance is more like a parade.
Then, the so-called procession is a long procession, and naturally there are many people in it.
In fact, the performers in this dance come from many places.
For example, there is also the 'company' of the University of Tokyo.
Generally, ten people are called a company.
There are also those that have a particularly large number of people.
The clothes that everyone wears are the sacrificial Dharma cloths.
This kind of clothing is actually relatively casual.
In front of each company there are flag-bearers and those who play musical instruments.
The dancers in the back are divided into men and women, and the women dance, so they must look better than men.
This one...
The main thing is that the women's headdress is interesting, it is a straw hat that is folded and turned into a triangular thing.
It may be more rainproof in this way.
As for the dance, it is mainly about the body lying on its back.
It's kind of a lot of fun.
In fact, before coming, Higashino Qiang also did some research.
After all, I wrote it, so if you're curious, let's study it.
Really.
"Ernie sauce, that's funny!"
"Oh, really?"
"yes, look over there, it's a good jump. β
"Is it really pretty?"
"Yes, yes. β
Yui, this girl, if she didn't wear a mask, probably could join in.
Higashino Qiang said a little badly: "That, do you know the origin of this Awa dance?"
"Where did it come from?" Yui was still staring at the dancing procession.
Higashino Qiang smiled: "This dance is actually our Northeast dancing god." β
Jumping gods?
Yui was confused, "What?"
Higashino Qiang simply learned a paragraph, the kind of god chatter, "feudal superstition." β
Yui saw it and laughed, "Ernie-chan, don't be so funny, it's fake." β
"This ......" Higashino Qiang was really a little helpless.
What he said is true, this kind of Japanese dance as a tradition, in fact, is derived from the shaman of the Northeast, it is really a great dance, especially this rickety dance, this is originally because in ancient times, people were generally deficient in calcium, and the original copy of Japan is like this.
Still, it's also a lot of fun.
But Higashino Qiang didn't expect that Yui directly proposed a thing.
"Ernie sauce, how about we make a game?"
"What game?"
"Hide and seek. β
"Huh?"
Here it comes.
Yui said to him, "Right here, where there are more than a million people, let's play hide and seek, and if Ernie-chan can find me before the Awa Odori event is over, then I'll give you a reward." β
Higashino Qiang listened, but he didn't think there was any danger in this game, and the order of large-scale events here in Japan was still okay, but now it seems that these guys who watch the show will definitely leave a lot of garbage.
But this has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with the girl, and it has nothing to do with this game.
"I remember everything in your clothes, how can you hide it?"
"But there are a million people, and if you can find me out of a million people, wouldn't it be interesting?"
Inexplicably, there is a romantic feeling.
Higashino Qiang agreed.
"Okay, then I'll ......"
"You just turn around, close your eyes, and count to a hundred. β
Higashino Qiang did what he said, while Yui slowly retreated, and said, "You must not turn back."
"Good!3,4,5......"
Higashino really counted.
This time, he was very careful and really counted 100 numbers.
Turning around, Yui was really gone.
Then let's get started, it's not a big deal.
Hide and seek, this thing.
Well, Higashino must admit that he is not very good at it, especially in this place, where there are more than 1 million people, moreover, there is also a team of performers.
However, Higashino Qiang is home after all, and he still writes reasoning, and he is still the number one high school student in Japan.
Turned around again.
That's right, it's the direction he just closed his eyes and counted, and he went in this direction and began to look for it.
Yui, this girl, will definitely go here, and she will play a little trick a little.
With his understanding of his sister-in-law and reasoning, Higashino Qiang began to search, and found the girl in the midst of millions of people.
The babbling music kept playing.
The clogs stomp on the ground and make rhythmic beats.
Higashino kept moving forward and found Yui, whose height was a shortcoming.
However, it is also possible that she will squat.
Well, most likely.
Looking for it, Higashino Qiang found that this game was really difficult.
Yui, where are you?
Seeing a similar back, Higashino Qiang turned it over, and the result was ...... I'm sorry.
Heck, I wouldn't have played this if I knew I wouldn't have done it.
Originally, I was very happy at Koenji Temple this time.
But at this time, Higashino Qiang didn't know where he had gone.
Suddenly, someone slapped him.
"Higashino-kun, who are you looking for?"
