At night, the village is lit up and the annual fireworks display begins, and the night sky is beautifully decorated with beautiful fireworks, and visitors can walk around Natsugawa Village at will, making it a great holiday destination. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But he was very upset...

The young man Naoto Mizumi walked towards the depths of the forest by the lake, and he glanced back at the crowd behind him, all of whom were young people from the village who shared his thoughts, all carrying tools such as chainsaws and axes in their hands.

Naoto Minakami shook his head, his gaze falling to the depths of the forest, and let out a difficult breath.

"I'm also doing this for the good of the village... This is the best place to look at the lake, and as long as you build a waterfront hotel here, there will be a lot of tourists coming and going. He muttered to himself, and lit a cigarette in frustration.

Naoto Mizu grew up in Natsugawa Village, and even when he was a child, his father would often take him to the ancestral hall to worship the dragon named Natsu no Watch. That small ancestral hall used to be the best place for him and his fellow villagers behind him to play.

It's just that when he grew up and was admitted to the University of Tokyo with excellence, he returned to the village, but sadly found that the village was even more dilapidated than when he was a child. Natsugawa Village is a tourism-oriented village, but in recent years, the villages around the village have been vigorously developing tourism, sharing most of the tourist flow.

He loved this small village, and he couldn't bear to see it getting more and more dilapidated, so he gathered the young people of the village, that is, these childhood playmates, to hold a fireworks festival together, but the effect was not significant.

Later, after a field trip, he found that the poor infrastructure of the village was one of the main reasons for the gradual decline in tourists. It is precisely because of this that he contacted a friend in Tokyo to develop and build the village.

One of the most important locations was the best location for the hotel by the lake, where the ancestral hall was located.

However, his father, who was the village chief, tried his best to dissuade him, believing that it would anger the dragon at the bottom of the lake, so he was unwilling to stamp the contract, resulting in a delay in starting work.

But... Who understands his feelings.

He really wanted the village to be better, and he didn't want to destroy the ancestral hall... It's just that because of an ethereal legend, is it really because of an ethereal legend that the village is getting more and more dilapidated?

Biting his lip, he clenched his fists, and his heart had already made up his mind.

And the ancestral hall has already appeared in front of you.

"Zizi..."

The chainsaw had been activated, and the youths were all looking at Naoto Mizumi, waiting for him to give his orders. As a top student at the University of Tokyo from the village, he has a high prestige among the young people in the village.

Glancing at the small ancestral hall, Naoto Minakami pursed his lips, and the memories of playing here as a child flooded back into his mind.

When I was a child, the ancestral hall looked tall, but now it seems that it is only about one and a half meters high. On top of the old wooden platform, some meat, vegetables and fruit offerings are placed, and a bronze dragon statue is enshrined inside.

His nose was a little sour, he gritted his teeth and turned his head to look at the bright fireworks in the sky, and said, "Tear it down!"

"Okay!" the young man stepped forward happily, and the chainsaws in their hands made a sound of "zizi..."

"As long as it is demolished, the village will be saved!"

"Yes... As long as it is demolished, the village will be saved!" Naoto Mizumi lit a cigarette, squatted on the ground with complicated thoughts, and persuaded himself over and over again in his mind.

"Wait a minute..."

However, at this time, a voice came from behind the ancestral hall, and then Tetsuya walked out, looking at this group of passionate young people with an indifferent face.

"It's you again!What are you doing here!?" When everyone was stunned, Naoto Minaka saw Tetsuya, stood up in a hurry, and yelled at Tetsuya in annoyance.

His gaze swept over the crowd of people armed with chainsaw axes, and Tetsuya's gaze fell on Naoto Mizu, and he said calmly, "This ancestral hall should be very important to the village, right?"

With a shake in his palm, Naoto Mizumi turned his head slightly, pursed his lips and said, "Then this has nothing to do with you!"

Shaking his head slightly, Tetsuya said word by word: "I don't agree with your approach..."

"You know what!?"

The irritability in his heart, the incomprehensible resentment, as if he had found an outlet, Naoto Mizumi blushed and shouted, "Look at this village, it's getting more and more dilapidated, and the young people are fleeing from here!"

"As long as you have a hotel and a hot spring, you can save this village and bring it back to life!"

"Aren't you afraid that the dragon at the bottom of the lake will wake up, just like a legend?"

Naoto Minakami was stunned for a moment, remembering the legend of Natsu no Watchman that his father had told him many nights, but he immediately laughed, "You don't believe these things that deceive children, do you?"

"I'm telling you! No one can stop me tonight!"

"Starting tonight, this village will be reborn!"

The sound of fireworks in the sky is bursting, and the beautiful night sky overhead is so brightly embellished with fireworks.

Tetsuya shook his head helplessly, looked at the crowd in front of him and asked, "Is this your joint decision?"

"Of course!"

"Only by destroying this can the village come back to life!"

The young people had long since had enough of the dilapidated village, and they cried out excitedly, looking at Tetsuya with excitement.

So, Tetsuya avoided his body slightly, and did not block in front of the ancestral hall anymore.

As soon as everyone saw that Tetsu had also moved out of the way, they were about to rush forward, but Tetsuya suddenly stretched out his arm to block in front of them, looked at everyone's sight, and said indifferently:

"I want you a promise..."

"What do you mean by that?" Naoto Mizu stepped forward and looked at Tetsuya in a daze.

"If it's really because you destroyed the ancestral hall that the dragon at the bottom of the lake appeared..."

"That's impossible!" Naoto Minakami interrupted Tetsuya excitedly.

However, Tetsuya shrugged his shoulders, looked at him and the crowd and said, "What? Are you weak-hearted?

"If you don't have a weak heart, then promise me that if the dragon at the bottom of the lake appears because of your actions, then build me a new ancestral hall ten times larger than this. ”

"And, at this time of year, everyone in the village must pay homage to the ancestral hall!"

"Hmph... We'll make this bet with you!" Naoto Minakami glanced at the people behind him, and seeing that everyone had no objections, he spoke:

"It's not just ten times, let's build one hundred times the size!"

"Very good..."Tetsuya smiled slightly, withdrew his arm, and looked at the group of young people with a smile and said:

"The ancestral hall belongs to the village, and that is the property of the village... Now, what you want to do with it is up to you. ”

"Just hopefully... Do not forget your promises tonight. ”

Naoto Minakami looked at Tetsuya's straight eyes, and suddenly felt a little chill in his back.

And yet there is no way back for them... So gritting his teeth, he shook off the cigarette butt in his hand fiercely, and shouted:

"Tear down the !! for me"
