Chapter 73: Obon (4)
After Jun Miyahara accompanied his father Yuichi Miyahara to leave Tokyo for medical treatment in the United States, there were only two members of the Miyahara family of four, Miyahara Shizune and Miyahara Ruri. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although Shinji Miyahara invited the two to spend the summer at his house, so that Miyahara Hideko could take care of their daily lives, after all, the independent living ability of a seventeen-year-old high school student and a twelve-year-old elementary school student is not very reassuring.
However, Miyahara Jing still politely rejected Miyahara Shinji's kindness, and the last time he handed over Miyahara Ruri to them to take care of was because he needed to deal with the crisis of the Hibiscus Society with all his might, and he had no time to take care of his sister, but now it's different, although he's busy, it's not so much that he can't take care of Miyahara Ruri.
Putting Ruri on Shinji Miyahara's side is enough to cause trouble, not to mention adding Miyahara Jing herself, so he decided to spend the summer with Miyahara Ruri at home.
In the vicinity of Miyahara Shizu's house, there used to be a village called Hibara Village, but due to the development of urbanization in Tokyo, the edge of the city expanded rapidly outward, that is, when it was rebuilt after the war in the fifties and sixties, this village disappeared and was replaced by high-rise buildings, apartments, shopping streets, and so on.
Only one shrine remains, as well as certain festival customs.
In other words, Hibara Village has long since disappeared as a natural village, but some of the customs of the village's existence have been preserved, and on the third day of the Obon Festival every year, a summer festival is held around Hibara Shrine, where the original village was located.
It is said that this festival was originally used to ward off demons, but now it has evolved into a simple celebration, or a bit of a summer event, and if Obon will make people feel bad, this festival can dilute those unhappiness.
Of course, the organizer of this festival is probably a shopping street that wants to show off its existence or something organized by the town, or it is just to sell goods.
This festival is called Hibara Matsuri.
In the past, if the Miyahara family had not returned to Okinawa during the summer vacation, Miyahara would have participated in the Hibara Festival.
There are many rb festivals, which are a kind of folk customs, but Miyahara Shizune only likes this small and not very famous Hinohara Festival, and the only one who will participate in this Hibara Festival is also this Hibara Festival.
There is a deep reason for this, because from the age of seven, he discovered...... Hibara Festival is the closest to his house, so turn left and then right and left when you go out.
Unless there is really a festival in the Tama region called the Dahashi Festival, he won't go too far for any festival, no matter how famous the festival is...... Because in his opinion, all kinds of festivals are the same.
He was accustomed to taking a turn around the memorial himself, which allowed him to relieve a particular emotion that belonged to him...... But obviously he can't be alone this year, after all, he can't leave his sister Ruri at home alone, and the latter is also interested in this kind of lively activity, so the brother and sister decided to go together.
In the evening, the two of them decided to leave earlier.
"Ruri-chan, are you sure you have to wear this yukata?" Miyahara Jing said very entangledly, he wasn't worried about which yukata to choose for Ruri, more precisely, the existence of the yukata itself made him very entangled.
Because tying a yukata belt is a technical job, and it is obvious that this skill is outside of Miyahara Shizu's ability, even if he wants to add limited skill points to this kind of thing, it is impossible for him to have such a branch in his skill tree.
And that's just wearing a yukata, and if he wore a kimono, the level of tediousness might have driven him to death...... Thinking about it this way, maybe it's a good thing that the traditional costumes of the Han people have not been handed down among the people? You must know that with the history and etiquette of the Great Celestial Empire, Hanfu is definitely more difficult to wear than a variant kimono.
Even if you can use the trick of skillfully holding peas, you can't do the work of wearing a yukata alone, so Ruri can only ask her brother Miyahara Jing to help, but Miyahara Jing is also a sad urge, and he can't help this kind of request.
In desperation, Miyahara Jing scratched her head and thought of a way that was not a solution, "I'll call Xia Xi and ask her to help." ”
"You don't need my brother, the belt is casually tied to the finished product, and you don't need to use a special one." Ruri hurriedly said, and then handed the light cherry belt to Miyahara Shizun.
Miyahara Jing didn't quite understand the meaning of Miyahara Ruri's words, but after taking the belt, she found out what was going on, this thing is like a tie with a zipper, the former doesn't need a special way to play, just put it on the neck in one set, and the latter doesn't need to be cumbersome to tie your hair, and it can be easily buckled on the waist.
"Stand tall with your hands open."
After arranging the feather coat, Miyahara Shizune asked Ruri to stand up, then wrapped the belt around her waist, adjusted the length, and then buttoned it directly.
The most tedious work was done like this, which made Miyahara Shizune breathe a sigh of relief. Even so, he was sweating profusely.
Here you can see the greatness of simple modern clothing.
"My brother is so stupid that he can't even tie his belt, it's still this kind of fake." Liuli complained with dissatisfaction.
Miyahara was speechless, this kind of work should have been done by Wakana, who was a mother, wasn't it a matter of course that he was unprofessional.
However, I finally finished preparing before going out.
Just as the two of them walked to the entrance and were about to change their shoes and go out, the doorbell suddenly rang.
"I think I can probably guess who's standing outside the door at this time." Ruri Miyahara whispered.
"You're so smart." Miyahara rubbed her sister's head, first changed into her own shoes, and then put the glass clogs at his feet.
"It's coming!"
Needless to say, Miyahara felt that she could guess who was outside the door.
Standing outside the door was Natsuki Shinohara, and although she didn't call her, she didn't show up unexpectedly.
"Jing-kun, do you want to go to the Hibara Festival together?"
"Natsuki? Are you going too, that together? Miyahara Jing said, one is also raised, and two are also released, so the two brothers and sisters will become three people walking together.
"Is that okay? Since I go back to Ueno every year, I haven't been to the Hibara Festival for a long time, so I'm a little interested this year. Natsuki Shinoha said.
"Huh? Is Ruri-chan going too? She asked as if she had just seen Ruri standing next to Miyahara.
The conflict between Ruri and Natsuki is said to have started when they grabbed dolls at the age of three, and deepened when they grabbed cakes at the age of five...... So far, the two don't look at each other well, of course, it's also a joke, and you can't really make a grudge when you grab something when you are a child.
Miyahara Jing couldn't cry or laugh at this kind of thing, he really wanted to ask his sister, are you also a soul piercing, you remember everything when you were three years old.
"Of course, but I really didn't expect the barbarian Sister Xia Xi to be interested in the festival, I remember that you were very afraid of the heat, didn't you? Beware of hot suckling pigs that turn into roasts. ”
"Liuli sauce is, it's not good for children to go to bed too late...... Ah, I see, kids love to be lively. ”
Miyahara Jing seemed to feel an invisible murderous aura bursting between the two, so she hurriedly asked them to stop, otherwise it would be bad if they didn't have fun fighting.
"Stop, let's go."
"Is that all you have?" Xia Xi immediately gave up arguing with Ruri, and then asked Miyahara Jing.
"So?" Miyahara Jing looked at himself and felt that there was no problem, at this time he was wearing a white half-sleeved T-shirt and black trousers on the lower half of his body, and there was really no problem with wearing it.
"No, no problem."
Natsuki means that at this time, you shouldn't be wearing a yukata and stepping on clogs, and then ah, is this what the RB people think?
It's a pity that Miyahara never felt like an RB person.
Private clothes are good, if it weren't too stuffy, he would still stick to the idea of sportswear.
It was close to six o'clock when the three of them finally set off from Miyahara's house.
At this time, the sky is still very bright, but the temperature has dropped, and the air is no longer hot, which is the advantage of the island country, and there always seems to be a sea breeze blowing in the evening.
