The next day was cloudy.

Early in the morning, I met the Fujisawa family in the lobby of the hotel, who were about to leave the house. After the usual pleasantries, I said goodbye to my friends on the pretext that I wanted to meet up with them.

I lied. Actually, I don't have any friends.

Since that phone call yesterday, I haven't received a call from Shan Muxi. This person has long been intoxicated by the gentle countryside of Osaka girls, where will he remember that he asked me to come to Osaka to accompany him on a whim?

I wandered aimlessly down the street, walking into a convenience store to buy drinking water.

At the checkout, the clerk seemed to ask me a question, and I was attracted by the things outside the glass door and didn't hear clearly. Ignoring his question, I took the change and left the convenience store.

The dozens of storey department stores across the road are stacked with palatial decorations, and the store of Zhinian Sook-hee stands in the middle of it, and it is set off in a bright color in the silence.

I stopped, staring for a long time.

What exactly was I expecting? I asked myself from the bottom of my heart.

That name went back and forth in my heart, and I suppressed it again.

I turned my head and moved on. After walking for some time, it began to rain in the sky, first lightly, then gradually turning into a downpour.

"It's going to rain in the neighborhood for about half an hour, do you need to buy an umbrella?"

In the heavy rain, I recalled the words of the clerk.

I didn't have an umbrella with me, I carried a rucksack with me, but I couldn't use it to shelter from the rain because it contained a sketchbook that I used to record my inspiration. To prevent the backpack from getting wet, I held it tightly to my chest. There happened to be a coffee shop in the alley next to me with a sign in Chinese "I am a cat", and before I had time to think about it, I rushed in with my backpack.

"Welcome!" In the rich aroma of coffee, the boss wearing a red dress of Zhinian Shuxi poked her head out of the bar, and she was shocked, "Ah! This guest! You're wet! ”

I was a little embarrassed, and I stayed where I was, and didn't move forward.

"Please sit down at the bar and I'll get you a towel." She saw my embarrassment and spoke quickly.

"Please wait a moment."

The owner returned quickly and she removed the tag from the towel and handed it to me. Then he took out a hair dryer: "There is a socket in the lower left corner." ”

"Thank you." I was impressed by her thoughtfulness and a little embarrassed. I opened the menu at the bar and chose a high-priced cup of coffee, just as a reward.

The boss looked embarrassed.

"Actually...... The real boss is on the run, and the only thing I can get my hands on is caramel coffee...... Now, that's what I'm doing. She winked at me, "I'll give you a drink." ”

"This ......"

"Please." She brought me a cup of coffee.

I had to accept it, thanked her, and then took out the sketchbook in my bag, and seeing that it wasn't wet, I put my mind at ease and began to blow my hair.

Luckily, I found out about the café in time, and there weren't too many wet places besides my hair, so I was able to quickly deal with the embarrassing situation I was facing.

"It's been a lot of rain this year, so I'm not sure when it's going to rain." She held her coffee, her slender eyes squinting slightly in the heat, "Rainy days, I like it the most." ”

I don't like rainy days.

I thought to myself as I blew my hair dry and looked through my sketchbook again.

"Do you want to listen to a song? It's available on-demand. She put down her coffee cup, "Order your favorite." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Somewhere in Time." ”

"Ah, I've heard that." She got up and walked over to the player, "Which old movie is it?" ”

"Turn back seventy years." I picked up my coffee cup and took a sip. The taste is slightly sweet.

On this rainy afternoon, I was sharing one of my favorite tunes with a woman I didn't know well in an empty café. I held my coffee cup and looked at the glass window, watching the rain pour down from the eaves.

None of us spoke. My mind gradually lengthened, and I couldn't help but start fantasizing about what it would be like if one day I had the opportunity to talk to Yuichi Fujisawa about this love story.

At the graduation ceremony, an old woman approached Richard, whom he did not know. In the crowd, a strange old woman put a pocket watch in his hand, and she held his hand with a blazing gaze. She said, "Come back to me."

This was the beginning of my favorite movie. Fujisawa-kun.

How will he respond to me?

"The rain has stopped." Suddenly, she said.

I suddenly came back to my senses.

"You...... Remembering anyone? She looked at me. I avoided her gaze and lowered my head to drink my coffee. There was a lot of music in the café, and suddenly, she turned around and pressed the pause button.

She walked up to me and smiled apologetically at me, "That'...... I'm going to get someone who has runaway. So I'm sorry, I have to close. ”

I immediately put down my coffee cup and packed my belongings. The two exchanged a few pleasant words, and I left the café. After taking a few steps, my phone vibrated and I took it out, and the name of Yuha Fujisawa flashed on the screen.

"Mr. Susu! Look to your left-hand side! From the other end came the excited voice of Yuha Fujisawa. I subconsciously followed her instructions and looked over, only to see a black extended Lincoln parked on the side of the road not far away. A beautiful girl in a pink dress poked her head out of the back window and waved at me.

Just like my unexpected encounter with Yuichi Fujisawa, on the streets of Osaka, I met his sister Yuha Fujisawa by chance.

——————————

Wrap the belt around it twice and tighten the end of the belt to prevent it from falling. The next step is to fold the end of the belt in half lengthwise and tie the bow at the top of the belt. The remaining end of the belt is folded in half, and it is cleverly tucked between the bow and the back fabric, and a yukata knot completes.

I will follow the method I found on the Internet, and tie a yukata knot for the second lady of the Fujisawa family.

With an expression of amazement, Yuha Fujisawa spun in front of the dressing mirror. She wore a crimson yukata with a deciduous yellow belt that cut the crimson flamboyance. On the surface of the garment is a perfume lily embroidered with great skill, and the huge flowers stretch in all directions through the green branches, but the posture is slim without wind.

Yuu Fujisawa pinned white feather-shaped ornaments to his hair and waist.

"Won't you change into a yukata, sir?" She turned her head.

"I don't need to." I crouched down and straightened the corners of her clothes.

"Ah......" she bowed her head, "I feel like I'm walking down the catwalk in a suit designed by my husband." Her voice sounded overhead, "Now, sir." Is it okay to design a kimono for my coming-of-age ceremony? I think it's a dark color. After all, I was an adult at that time. ”

"A rite of passage? It's going to be a few more years. I stood up, "I didn't know where it would be then." ”

"Won't Mr. stay in Kyoto?"

My hand arranging her belt paused, and I met her clear eyes, "Hmm...... Probably. ”

"That's okay." She laughed, her eyes curled into a crescent moon, "I'll just go find Mr. then." She paused, "Sir, that's a yes." ”

This eldest lady...... I was helpless and nodded: "Hmm." ”

She suddenly jumped up: "Then I'll go find Youhui, Mr. I'll see you later!" ”

With that, she left my room in a rage. I withdrew my gaze and looked at the pair of clogs she had left behind on the carpet.

"I'm so stupid, I just bought clogs for my husband, but I didn't expect him to bring a yukata. There are only clogs, but please wear them. ”

When Yuha Fujisawa came to my room with a package more than twenty minutes ago, he said.

Clogs......

I sighed and put it on. Put your phone and wallet in a small bag and walk out of the room.

On the third night in Osaka, tonight's destination is the summer end festival in a certain town.

The previous relationship started yesterday.,After breakfast in the morning.,At the behest of Fujisawa Yuu.,I went to the residence of the "ice-faced girl" that she longed for.。

The dwellings, named "Lavender Manor", are located on the highest part of the precinct, along a long staircase, and are mostly double-storey single-family families. Higashiyama's car didn't go, and Fujisawa Yuba got off the car on the flat. According to the agreement, I will only accompany her here, and she will go the rest of the route by herself.

After Fujisawa Yuha left, I felt a little stuffy in the car, got out of the car and found a shady place to sit down, took out a sketchbook, and looked at the clean paper for a long time, and I had no inspiration so I had to put the book away. At this time, on the street with few pedestrians, two girls walked towards me.

The girl who walked in front had a slightly darker complexion, was wearing an ordinary cotton and linen floral skirt, and the pear vortex on the corner of her mouth was smiling, which was like a spring breeze.

And the girl behind her has a coldness that doesn't match her age. Although the simple combination of wearing a white shirt and light purple wide-leg pants is indeed a haute couture in a private store. She has a pair of long, straight legs. Her long curly hair draped casually over her shoulders, her pale face with delicate and small features, and her eyes were foggy, and she looked at me detached and wary, and then quickly looked away.

Mentally in, I quickly matched her with someone. Could it be that she is the "ice cube-faced" girl in Yuu Fujisawa's mouth?

"Hello, tomorrow night there will be a summer end festival in the street, a fireworks display, a reserved program for the mountain god society, and many food stalls worth tasting, looking forward to your visit!" The girl in the floral dress said to me.

The "ice-faced" girl handed over a flyer and said indifferently, "Please accept it." ”

I took it: "Thank you." ”

The girl in the floral skirt greeted her politely, and the two turned to leave.

Looking at the backs of them leaving, I suddenly remembered the young master I had seen in Qinghe Mountain, who was named Sato...... What's going on? They have a similar aura on them.

"Ceremony...... The young lady and the young master will definitely like it. Back in the car, Higashiyama said, with the flyer in his hand. I looked up at him, and he looked out the window, "Ah, Mademoiselle is back, and she looks very happy." ”

I looked out the window and Yuha Fujisawa was running towards us with an excited face, holding the same flyer as we did.

Oops. I let out a wail deep inside.

The girl I met was indeed an "ice cube face". Fujisawa Yuba was invited by them to participate in the summer end festival, so there was a trip to tonight's festival. Except for Sister Setsuko resting in the hotel, all the staff went out.

"Anyway, it's going to rain around nine o'clock tonight." Arriving at the destination, Dongshan said coldly.

"It's okay." Fujisawa Yuba jumped out of the car lightly, "By then, we will have finished watching the fireworks on the way back." ”

"Fireworks, Youhui likes it the most!" Yuki Fujisawa excitedly clenched his little fists and danced with his hands.

"Then, Youhui and I will go first." After getting out of the car, the two siblings immediately strode forward hand in hand.

"Stay safe, and don't forget to meet at the river at half past eight." I reminded her. She gestured "OK" with her free hand.

"Well, then, I'm going too." Higashiyama came over and said goodbye to me, "Sir, please keep the phone open." In an instant, his figure was drowned in the crowd.

I breathed a sigh of relief as I watched them go away. I wasn't interested in the lively festival, but I agreed to come to satisfy Yuba Fujisawa. Finding the sign leading to the river, I turned on my phone's music player, pinned my headphones, and dragged the uncomfortable clogs slowly.

At this time, I didn't know what was going to happen that night. I sat on the embankment on the bank of the river, and from the evening when there were few pedestrians until nightfall, to nearly half past eight o'clock when the fireworks festival was close, the riverbank was already crowded with people. I was about to call Fujisawa Yuyu, only to hear the radio above my head, and began to broadcast a notice of missing people, and when I listened carefully, I was looking for Fujisawa Yuyu's sister and brother.

The crowd around them heard the announcement, and people kept joining the search spontaneously.

I turned off the music and was about to call Higashiyama, but the phone rang first, Tomoyuki's name flashed on the screen, and I immediately pressed answer.

"Sir, you've heard the announcement, haven't you?" His solemn voice came from the other end.

"Yes. What's going on? I stood up, but I didn't know which way to go.

"When I met Miss ten minutes ago, the young master had already lost with Miss. I originally planned to appease Miss Hao and contact you again, but I didn't expect Miss to disappear in a blink of an eye. He said, "Where are you now?" There are a lot of people tonight, and it's even harder if you're gone. ”

"I'm by the river." I would look around, and as I went, I said, "I'm going to find them too." ”

"Mr. ......"

"Keep in touch with me, that's all." I hung up.

Where will they go? With anxiety and uneasiness, I left the river beach and followed the embankment, blindly searching. At eight o'clock, the fireworks festival began, and when the first cluster of fireworks bloomed, my phone sounded that the battery was too low. I turned the brightness down to the lowest and kept looking.

Seeing that the fireworks were over, Tohide still didn't contact me, and I didn't see any of them, but ushered in the rain that Tode said. The rain was dripping down, and my heart became more and more uneasy.

I stopped and calmed down. I found myself in front of the entrance of the shrine.

The Yamanaka Shrine located halfway up the mountain will have a kagura dance performance. I remembered what was on the flyer.

Is it possible that Yuki Fujisawa was attracted to Kagura Dance and went to the mountains?

I didn't have time to think about it, so I walked up the stairs quickly.

As the rain began to fall heavier, I walked up the winding path, past the torii gate, and past countless visitors walking briskly down the mountain. However, the search was fruitless. I didn't find Yuki Fujisawa. I came out of the shrine and looked at the road leading to the top of the mountain, which was brightly lit and stretched endlessly. Sending a location message to Toide, I continued towards the top of the mountain.

I don't know how long I walked, but I heard a sudden thunder in the air, I was caught off guard, and I was so unstable that I kicked it, and I gasped in pain. I didn't have time to react, and then the pilot lamp in front of me was the first to be blown up, and the flames were scattered, and then one after another, and the street lamps in the mountains were all extinguished by the lightning.

It was pitch black, and even though the rain was raging, I could clearly hear my breathing getting heavier and heavier from fear.

Calm down. Toide has received my address, and he will come to me shortly.

I took deep breaths repeatedly, trying to calm down. At the same time, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and turned on the light switch, but it failed because the battery was too low. I turned the phone to full light mode, squatted down, and checked the wound with the faint light of the phone screen, fortunately, except for the mark of wearing clogs, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with my right foot, but the red rope on the clogs on my right foot was broken, and I forcefully inserted the red rope back into the interface, barely able to make do with it first. Then I got up and started looking for shelter from the rain.

I found a small retreat on the side of the mountain road a few steps away. I limped over, and only by the faint light could I see that the roof of the pavilion was made of thatch, and the rain was so strong that the rain was constantly dripping down through the thatched roof, and under the stone benches, the rain formed puddles of water among the soil. There's nothing to complain about, and I'm even glad I wore a pair of thick-soled geta today, so that even my feet didn't get submerged in standing water.

I sat down on the slightly drier side, rolled up my wet clothes, and carried out any excess water until I couldn't carry any more water. I finished doing this, and another twenty minutes passed. Dongshan still didn't appear.

I was forgotten.

I bent my knees, hugged myself tightly, and closed my eyes.

I'm really unlucky. I think.

The rain shows no signs of stopping. I don't know how long it took, but I vaguely heard the sound of clogs.

But the voice was incoherent.

I held my breath and listened.

Not far away, a slender figure walked out of the bushes, wearing a white yukata, holding an umbrella in one hand and a flashlight in the other, slowly walking in the direction where I was.

It was the sound of his footsteps that paused for a moment.

At this moment, the mobile phone that has been clutched in his hand emits two prompt tones, automatically shuts down, and the screen is pitch black.

"Higashiyama-kun?" I tried to shout.

Hearing this, he continued to walk towards me, he walked very slowly, I could gradually see the clogs on his feet, the white socks and the hem of his yukata had been stained by the muddy water of the mountains, he walked with his right foot first, and then slowly lifted his left foot, this man had a leg problem......

I suddenly realized something.

No, no, no, it can't be, I immediately denied it, and I said to myself in my heart, stop dreaming, it's impossible.

However, he had already walked up to him, and he lifted the handle of the umbrella with a slight force in his right hand, and the big black umbrella had strong and thick bones, and the water droplets rolled down the surface of the umbrella, and the pouring rain revealed the face under the umbrella.

A face I will never forget again. Someone who will never be here.

I muttered, "Fuji, Fujisawa-sama Mr. ......"

Yuichi Fujisawa moved the umbrella above my head and he crouched down. Those bottomless dark eyes were full of stars at this moment.

"What's wrong? Hurt? ”

There must be something wrong with me, I have been trapped in this deep forest for so long, thinking that such a bad thing should not have happened to me, and I feel more and more unlucky. But I don't feel so sad when I'm most lonely and helpless, why can't I help but cry when I hear this person's simple words.

"Gui'an......" I held back my tears, looked at him fixedly, and thought about it for a long time, but the words that came out were, "Long Shu greetings." ”

He looked at me and met me, and he asked, "Why are you here?" Susu. ”

"I teach your sister Miss Yuyu Chinese at your mansion, Mr. Fujisawa, don't you know?"

"Hmm." He whispered, "Now I know." ”

With that, he stood up, put the flashlight in his right hand, and held out his left hand to me: "Come." ”

My heart trembled.

I reached out and took the finger-bony hand, and he pulled me up, but I held one position for too long, and my calves were sore. The broken clogs on my feet broke at me, and I fell uncontrollably into his arms.

The umbrella and flashlight fell out of his hands, and at the same time, he hugged me.

I should have left his arms, but when I leaned against his chest, the smell of his body mixed with the rain on my face, and the sound of his heart beating echoed in my ears.

Just this night, no, even for a moment, I don't want to be a self-restrained Susu.

Please forgive me for being uncontrollable and forgetful, if it were not for the narrow road with him in this embarrassing situation, even I could not have imagined that I would love him like this.
