Chapter Seventy-Five: This Lump Is Made of Infinity (2)
Fortunately, Natsuki Shinohara didn't think much about Miyahara's words. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
She avoided Miyahara Jing's gaze a little, lowered her head and whispered, "No, the belt is too complicated, I can't wear it myself, my mother helped me wear it." ā
"This ...... I mean yukata is perfect for you, with a nice figure, and it fits the aesthetic requirements of a traditional Japanese woman. ā
Miyahara quickly shifted the subject away from dressing, but it was clear that he had chosen the wrong direction again, and that was to discuss her figure with the girl, which in a sense was 87.5 percent worse than the previous one.
A figure that fits the yukata ...... Although it wasn't intentional, the underlying meaning of this sentence to Natsuki's ears was that she was a washboard that didn't protrude in front and didn't warp in the back.
So she raised her head, glared at Miyahara, and said, "I'm not even sixteen yet." ā
Miyahara Jing obviously didn't know what she said wrong, so she said casually, "Sixteen years old, it proves that you have completed your development, and in a legal sense, you can get ......married immediately."
Natsuki's eyes became more and more unkind, and Miyahara Jing wisely shut up.
But he's right, although sixteen years old is a minor, but obviously can get married, the girl's mood changes are always inexplicable.
"Okay, how about we get out of the yukata talk and get something to eat?" Miyahara felt that she was wrong in what she said, so she decisively shut up and stopped talking about a certain topic.
"I want to eat takoyaki!" Natsuki Shinoha said with an arm raised like an elementary school student.
Food and snacks can really divert the girl's attention, Miyahara Jing breathed a sigh of relief, this state of Natsuki is a normal Natsuki.
"Okay, there's it before, I'll ask you."
A few steps ahead, there was a stall selling takoyaki, there were not many people there, and Miyahara Shizun quickly sold one, and after a few minutes, it was given to Natsuki, who was waiting on the sidelines.
"Jingjun, aren't you going to eat?" Natsuki took the only takoyaki, only to find that there was no share of Miyahara Shizune.
"I don't have any desire to eat this octopus ball powder, which is sprinkled with hoisin sauce, sweet sauce, salad dressing, and other sticky sauces, and is a hot dumpling-like object." Miyahara said that something like takoyaki was not his thing.
"Oh? Is it......" Natsuki didn't seem to care about what Miyahara Shizune said, she was already attracted by the freshly baked takoyaki, but this was the appearance, she used a bamboo skewer to insert an octopayaki and blew it on the side of her mouth, and then she, pretending to want to eat, did not expect to take advantage of Miyahara Shizu's inattention, and stuffed it into the latter's mouth.
Suddenly attacked, the taste that was hot and unpleasant filled his mouth at once, Miyahara Shizune wanted to swallow it but couldn't, and wanting to spit it out didn't fit his cherished food's frugality.
So all of a sudden, his face became as ugly as a girl who had been molested by his uncle.
"Hahaha." Xia Xi saw Miyahara Shizune like this, and laughed happily.
It took about half a minute, and Miyahara finally swallowed the takoyaki, and her face became full of depression.
"Natsuki, I don't think it's a friendly act to force me to eat something I don't like."
Not to be angry, in the face of Xia Xi's jokes, he is not so calculating.
"I'm sorry," Natsuki said sorry as she continued to laugh merrily.
"The look on your face was so funny, sorry, I promise not to do it again."
"So please make me laugh for a moment."
Miyahara Jing was even more depressed, is it so funny.
But he looked at Natsuki's smile, and suddenly felt what this girl meant to him.
She made Miyahara feel like she had found her kind.
It's not that Natsuki acts like a traverser, but he can make Miyahara feel like an ordinary person.
Natsuki Shinohara's ability to make him feel like he really is just an ordinary high school student, just like all his peers, not a monster in the heart of a young man's uncle, and not a person from another world, a person from the future, a cosmic person, and a superpower.
Then following this line of thought, he suddenly understood why Xia Xi was always with him, he was not stupid, he didn't say whether he liked it or not, at least he had a good impression.
Well, he was a bit stupid and only now discovered the girl's mind.
You have such a young and beautiful girl, what more do you need a bicycle!
At this moment, Shizune Miyahara seems to be possessed by Makoto Ito, Fuyuya Fujii, Rin Domi, and Takayuki Narumi......
Wrong, whether they understand the above people or not, they are not good people when they hear it.
So rephrase it.
At this moment, Miyahara Shizune seemed to be possessed by Kuroki Kanya, Okazaki Tomoya, and Kuroko Tetsuya (note, there were some strange characters mixed in), and he was enlightened by such a great god, so he finally realized.
So, now, or in the future, what should he do?
"Natsuhi, let's go to the shrine, the festival is about to start, and it will be crowded if you stay here for a while." When Natsuki Shinoha finally had enough of laughing, Miyahara suggested.
The conclusion was that he was a bit of a mess and didn't need to do anything for the time being.
"Okay, wait until I'm done." Natsuki Shinohara, while stuffing balls into his mouth, said vaguely, "It is said that there is a fireworks display today. ā
"Fireworks? Obon isn't over yet, so how about setting off fireworks? ā
"What's so bad, isn't the Hibara Festival meant to exorcise ghosts, but to make some noise, besides, a festival without fireworks is not a real festival, and a festival without fireworks doesn't attract many people."
What Natsuki said was very reasonable, and Miyahara was speechless, but he remembered that there was no fireworks display at the Hibara Festival a few years ago.
"Let's hurry up, the march is about to begin." Natsuki Shinoha finished eating the octopus balls in two or three, and then pulled Shizun Miyahara to the shrine.
Tourists began to move out of the middle of the street, where eight young men dressed in traditional Japanese costumes appeared, carrying a small wooden shrine painted with vermilion lacquer.
Hibara Shrine enshrines Ebisu, one of the Seven Gods of Good Fortune, so it is also Ebisu that is carried on the Imperial Rim.
Two young girls dressed as witches lead the way, followed by about twenty dancers dressed as maiko.
At this moment, the sound of the taiko drum sounded, and the witch began to walk forward to the beat of the drum, the portable shrine followed them, and the last maiko began to perform a modest ritual dance.
They will pass by Hibara Shrine and then go around the town where Miyahara Shizuki is located, which is the area where the original Hibara Village is located, and finally return here.
This is the main event of the Hibara Festival.
Shizun Miyahara followed this ritual procession a few times before, and Natsuki Shinoha was invited to pretend to be a shrine maiden when he was in middle school, so they didn't have much interest in it, and they didn't want to crowd in the crowd, so they went to Hihara Shrine.
Bypassing a few stalls, a staircase hidden behind the two appeared in front of the two of them, about thirty steps above it, and it was Hibara Shrine.
After the two came to the top, they found that the lights here were a little bright, but there were not many people, after all, the festival below was a bit grand, and everyone went to follow the sacrificial procession.
However, the amazing thing is that there is actually a song in the shrine, and it has nothing to do with the sacrifice.
ćć¬ć³ćæć¤ć³ć»ććć¹ć
The melody is very familiar, which translates to be called Valentine's Day Kiss, and Miyahara knows this song because it is more famous and has been covered countless times.
But it looks like it's Obon, okay?
And it's still being put in the shrine.
What about witches? Did a witch put it?
"Jingjun, can you try your own lottery luck?"
Well, the witch in the shrine doesn't seem to be there, and to be honest, it's no better, Miyahara Shizun doesn't really want to see the witch who is chattering with the gods - not all the witches in the shrine are young and beautiful, there is only one witch at Hiwara Shrine, and she is already fifty years old, and Miyahara Shizun can see her every New Year's visit, which is not the main thing, the main thing is that this witch has a bit of a strange personality.
"Okay, I'm lucky in the lottery."
Although the witch was not there, the box used for the lottery was placed outside, and Miyahara Shizune stuffed 1,000 yen into the cash box, just enough to draw two lots.
"My lottery luck is also very good, I'll come first!" Natsuki reached out and pulled out one.
Miyahara Jing didn't compete with Xia Xi, and also drew a random one, and his lottery luck was really good.
"I'll see." At the same time as Miyahara Jing drew lots, Xia Xi had quickly unfolded the paper mark in his hand.
"It's ......"
However, after reading it, her face became tangled.
"Any questions?"
Natsuki handed him the paper stick, and Miyahara Jing took a look at it and found that it was indeed not easy to judge the good and the bad.
From the face of the sign, this is indeed a lucky lot, after all, the word Daji is clearly written on it, and then there is a line of explanation below the small words.
"Be careful, you've been targeted by a dangerous person, so be very careful."
"Ahem, the witches of this shrine have always been like this, and they like to make some strange signature paper, Xia Xi doesn't have to care, it says Daji, that's Daji." Miyahara Jing felt the cold wind swishing on the back of her neck, didn't she mean him? There is a god in the head?
Xia Xi obviously knew some of the witch's situation, so she didn't pay much attention to it, but at this time she was more concerned about what was written on the paper in Miyahara Shizune's hand.
"What about Jingjun's? What do you think? ā
Miyahara Jing called the paper in his hand, and Natsuki also turned his head over, and then the two of them became confused together.
There was not even a good fortune written on the paper stick, but two short sentences:
"Everyone is unique, and everyone can be replaced, this is the great compassion of the Buddha and the great sorrow of the gods."
"What does that mean?" Natsuki asked at Shizune Miyahara.
How could Miyahara Jing understand such a brainless sentence, so he said: "Who knows, although this witch serves the gods, she likes to study philosophical issues very much, maybe she is an atheist, who knows what she is smoking." ā
Are witches atheists? Possibly, of course it is possible, human beings have this infinite possibility.
The lottery Miyahara didn't care, and casually threw the paper sticks into the trash.
"In short, I won, so I'm lucky, although the explanation below is a bit like a big murderer." Natsuki set the outcome for this matter.
Miyahara shook her head, "Listen, the rhythm of the taiko drums has changed, and the procession of the festival has begun to move back. ā
Xia Xi listened carefully, and sure enough, the drum beat changed, and she was just about to say something, but the sky in the distance suddenly lit up.
Then there was a little echo of the sound.
The fireworks display began.
Xia Xi didn't say anything more, just leaned closer to Miyahara Shizune's side.
Shizune Miyahara also noticed this, and the explosion of fireworks kept exploding in his ears, and it was as if he heard the greatest oath in his ears:
I am a soldier who has long sworn to give my heart for the reproduction of humanity, and if I can follow this faith until I give my life, I will die without regrets.
