I don't know who said this, time waits for no one. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

No matter what happens, no matter what people's subjective intentions are, time flows like this, bit by bit, through 1998, to 1999 - the end of the 20th century, the last year.

In the past year, Shinji has encountered a lot of things and met a lot of people. There are good things and bad things, good people and bad people. In the end, these people and things became his motivation and supported his continuous growth.

It can be said that without them, there would be no Shinji today.

In the new year, Shinji will continue to work hard and do more things. For Sakura, for Fujino, for Orange, for the sake of the Maki family, for everyone he values and who values him, he will become stronger and master more power.

I'm Shinji Makiri, and I'm going to take care of everything I cherish—the consciousness I've embraced since I crossed over has not changed yet, and I won't do it in the future.

In Fuyuki City, in the Kirito Mansion, in his own room, Shinji opened the curtains to welcome the first rays of morning light in 1999.

"Shinji, are you up, hurry up and change your clothes when you get up, we're going to go. Outside the door came the sound of Tsuruya's urging.

Because he has to exercise in the morning, Shinji has always been the earliest person in the family, and his father Tsuru must be at the bottom even if he is not the latest, except on the first day of the new year.

Similar to the Chinese custom of observing the New Year on Chinese New Year's Eve, Japan also has the custom of celebrating the New Year.

Hatsuji is the first time of the year to visit a shrine or temple to pray for peace. Most traditional Japanese people start lining up on the night of December 31 to prepare for the shrine, but the Makiri family is an alien family after all, and they are not so strict about observing local Japanese customs, so they finally set the time for the first prayer in the early morning of January 1. This allows you to avoid the first wave of people at midnight or the second wave in the morning.

On this day, the entire family of the Maki family wakes up at 6 a.m., and Tsuru, who is the head of the family, gets up earlier than the others to prepare for the most solemn visit of the year.

According to the Japanese dress etiquette, Hatsumi is required to wear formal attire. The so-called formal attire, or "kimono", is a traditional Japanese dress that is very cumbersome to wear. The reason why the members of the Makiri family get up so early is that half of the time is spent on dressing up.

And during this time, Shinji was deliberately pretending to be asleep, in order to avoid wearing a kimono.

Yes, Shinji is reluctant to wear a kimono.

The kimono originated from Hanfu, a traditional Chinese costume, and was introduced to Japan and evolved into the current kimono. Whenever he sees this kind of clothes, he thinks about his past life.

Despite all the bad things about that country in his previous life, and even though he traveled to Japan in this life and had a Japanese name, he still loved that ancient country and was proud of it. So he chose to remember his past life in this way, no matter where he was, no matter what kind of blood he shed, his heart would not change.

Some people may say that this is a kind of hypocrisy, a kind of self-satisfaction, belonging to the bit(-_-!)ch to set up a torii. Shinji doesn't deny it, but people always have to be a little persistent, even if it seems silly.

"It's coming. ”

Responding listlessly, Shinji opened the closet, picked out a suit to change into, and walked out of the room.

"Happy New Year, Father. ”

"Happy New Year. ”

Seeing his son's outfit, Tsuru also sighed: "It's a suit again, why don't you just want to wear a kimono? ”

In Tsuruya's memory, his son was no different from other children in Japan until he was 6 years old, and it wasn't until he was 6 years old that he changed after that incident. In general, it is a change for the better, but there will be incomprehensible stubbornness in many small things, as it is now.

"Isn't it tiresome to say the same thing every year? If you don't like it, you don't like it, anyway, our ancestors are European, and no one will make irresponsible comments on the face of this mixed-race child. At this moment, Shinji was extremely glad that he had crossed over to become Shinji Makiri, not a pure-blooded Japanese, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to use such an excuse.

"Whatever you want. Tsuru was also full of helplessness, and after the age of six, he couldn't take care of this son.

"I'm sorry. Shinji lowered his eyelids.

"Nothing, not a big deal. Tsuru also waved his hand, "Let's go down, Sakura and Fujino are already waiting for you below." ”

In the living room of the Kiri's house, several other members of the family were already ready to go.

Seeing Shinji walking down the stairs, Sakura and Fujino hurriedly greeted him.

"Happy New Year, brother. ”

"Shinji, Happy New Year. ”

Shen 211 responded:

"Happy New Year, Sakura-chan. Happy New Year, Fujino. Happy New Year, Mother, Uncle. ”

The last two sentences are said to her stepmother Elsa and her uncle Yanye, since it is the first time, it is natural that the whole family is together.

"Shinji, Happy New Year. The two elders responded with a smile.

No matter what country you are in, saying Happy New Year to each other is an indispensable etiquette to offer good wishes for the new year.

When the greeting was over, Sakura couldn't wait to turn around in front of Shinji's eyes, and asked as she turned:

"Brother, do you think my new outfit looks good?"

Sakura is wearing a newly made kimono in the same color as her name, with a pink background dotted with white petals, as if the cherry blossoms are falling on a spring day.

"It's good, it's good. Shinji smiled and stretched out his hand, habitually rubbing Sakura's head.

But this time, Sakura didn't enjoy her brother's touch as before, but took a few steps back and pursed her small mouth: "You can't touch it, your hair will be messy." ”

In order to match the cherry blossom kimono, Sakura specially pulled up her long hair and inserted a cherry blossom hair ornament, pink and purple blue, red is more delicate, and purple is purer.

Shinji withdrew his hand in a daze, and touched his nose embarrassedly.

Fujino saw Shinji's embarrassment, walked to the position that originally belonged to Sakura, and said:

"I've got new clothes, too. ”

"See, it's a good match for you. Shinji narrowed his eyes, hiding the strange brilliance in them.

The Fujino in front of him gave him a feeling of heartbeat. Fujino's kimono is sky blue opposite Sakura's, a little lighter than the color of her hair. There are no other superfluous embellishments on the kimono, but the change of shades of blue gives it a pleasing feeling to the eye.

What's even more wonderful is that the natural layering between the color of the kimono and Fujino's long hair makes Fujino's natural beauty look more and more bright and moving.

The trace of the hair that is only a girl's charm is brought up by the end of the hair.,Inadvertently stirred Shinji's heart.。

Should I say that my family has a girl who has just grown up, or is it a big success of Plan H?

Although the age of the person who said this is somewhat inappropriate.

PS: The so-called H plan is the light source plan, at the end of the official sick series "Fantasy Carnival" EX01, Qingzi helped Shiki in order to play the juvenile version of the light source's cultivation.
