046 Wave to me
A green tin tram with a sense of the times, rickety on the tracks.
To the left, right next to Coastal Highway 134, the tram is lined with a straight coastline and a magnificent sea.
At this moment, it is almost dusk, and the sunset that is about to end has kissed the sea.
The afterglow of the setting sun reflected on the sea, scorching the entire sea level into a golden yellow.
The winding white sand beach and the endless blue sea level blend with the blue sky and white clouds, like a refreshing blue jewel.
This is one of the most beautiful coastlines in Japan, the Shonan Coast.
And this green-skinned tram is the one that Kamakura has been running for more than 100 years, and has precipitated countless good times and years.
It's rush hour for commuting from work, and the carriage is crowded, but there is one corner that looks particularly empty.
Because there, there is a strange pair of pairs.
A man with a golden airplane head, the back of his white cultural shirt is printed with the words "Evil is Killed" with three dragons flying and phoenix dancing, and the exposed forearm is covered with runes of unknown meaning.
Not paying any attention to the frightened gazes and abrupt distances of the other people in the carriage, he was now excitedly looking at the scenery outside the window.
"Oh, it's a nice day, and you can see Mt. Fuji!"
"Is it the first time for Araki-sensei?"
Next to the man with a criminal face, there stood respectfully a beautiful girl with long black hair in a shrine maiden costume.
Due to the need for silence in the carriage, she could only respond to the man's words in a very low voice.
Such a combination, in the eyes of the surrounding passengers, is simply like "good and evil", "angel and demon".
Along the way, there have been several enthusiastic aunts in a row, who secretly came over and asked the little bird Yu Zhengong if he "needed help" through crazy hints.
"I used to race on Route 134 with my brothers in the Rioters...... But it's late at night, and there's a strip chasing behind, so it's too fast to enjoy the scenery, and it's the first time I've taken a train. ”
Hearing his words, the surrounding passengers took the initiative to huddle together again, as if they wanted to stay as far away from him as possible.
Not paying any attention to the awkward atmosphere in the carriage, Sosuke Araki laughed happily.
"Oh, look, there's a lot of lanterns hanging over there, and there seems to be a parade!"
"The second and third weekends of April are Kamakura festivals, don't you know that Araki-sensei?"
The two took the Odakyu Electric Railway from Tokyo, and then transferred to the Enoden line, which had been running for more than 100 years, to Kamakura in Kanagawa Prefecture, Honshu Island.
At the end of the 12th century, the military commander Minamoto Yoritomo established the Kamakura shogunate here, creating a samurai regime and becoming a prosperous political center in Japan in the early Middle Ages.
The Kamakura Festival is an important event to recreate the ancient style and samurai style of Kamakura.
During the festival, in addition to a procession and dance program consisting of portable shrines and bands, there is also a night market consisting of festival games and food.
After a while, the two of them arrived at their destination, Kamakura High School Mae Station.
"You see, you can see the sea from here......
Standing on the platform of the second floor, Sousuke Araki stretched out widely.
"Mr. Araki...... Watch out for your back! ”
The little bird Yu Zhengong suddenly looked behind him with a nervous face, and quickly took out the rune paper from his bag.
In her line of sight, a huge insect wraith with a long and narrow mouthpiece rose from under the platform and flew towards Sosuke Araki, who was standing on the edge of the second floor.
The higher the intelligence of a creature, the more likely it is to produce a spirit after death.
Thus the human "spirit" is the most common.
However, there are occasional spirits of insects or animals, and because of the instinctive obsession of creatures such as eating and territory, spirits are born after death, and even gradually become resentful spirits.
Seeing that Kotori Yuma Bow looked like he was facing a great enemy, Sousuke Araki immediately turned around and looked.
"Buzzing", he heard the annoying sound of mosquitoes flapping their wings.
A mosquito the size of a thumb was hovering a meter in front of the tip of his nose very defiantly.
"Smack".
Sousuke Araki stretched out his hands and slapped at the mosquito mercilessly.
Slapped by his merciless iron hand, the mosquito immediately turned into pulp in his palm, and he bounced out with great disgust.
"It really scared me, but I'm glad you reminded me that if I get bitten, I might get dengue fever...... In other words, Japan's ecology has been really better recently, and mosquitoes are so big. ”
Sousuke Araki clapped his hands and turned to walk towards the stairs at the exit of the platform.
The little bird Yu Zhengong is still in the shock of the scene just now.
In her field of vision, the basketball-sized insect wraith was lightly patted by Mr. Araki, and the tentacles in his palm closed to reveal the prototype, which fell to the ground and shattered into points of light.
Can even the resentful spirits of insects use this kind of casual palm strike to make them "become Buddhas"?
"I need to learn, and there are still many ......"
The teacher's hands just now, could it be that he implied some kind of gesture of Buddhism?
Recording his feelings in a notebook, the little bird Yuma Bow turned around and walked towards the exit.
"Excuse me, is it the little bird bird maiden of Akagi Shrine? The contemptible is Togawa Shuto of the Academic Affairs Office of Kamakura High School. ”
A young man in a suit had been waiting at the exit of the platform for a long time, and when he saw the kotori Yumayuki in a shrine maiden costume, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.
This is a man of the same age as Sosuke Araki, with an elegant and childish face.
"I'm Yuma Bow, a bird who came to pray for the soul on behalf of Akagi Shrine, and this one is my companion, Mr. Araki."
Kotori Yu Zhengong also greeted each other very politely, and did not forget to introduce the bad boy next to him to the other party.
"The contemptible people here have arranged meals on behalf of the school, so let's sit down and talk about the details."
Togawa Shuto touched his eyes, looking at Sosuke Araki's respectful and distant dress with some surprise, and seemed to wonder what kind of "teacher" this person in front of him was.
The two followed the Tokawa Shuren to the intersection of the traffic light not far from the station, where the tracks and pedestrians intersected.
At this time, a train was about to pass by, and seeing that there were three seconds left in the red light and green light, Sosuke Araki suddenly accelerated and rushed through the intersection, leaving Togawa Shuren and Kotori Yuma Bow stunned and stopped by the red light and the road gate.
Sousuke Araki stood tall with one hand in his pocket and turned back handsomely.
Looking at the tracks and barriers across the intersection on the opposite side, the little bird Yu Zhengong stood in the background of the sea and sky.
"Wave to me" written all over the face.
Seeing Sosuke Araki looking at him a little proudly, Kotori Yumako tilted his head slightly in confusion.
I didn't understand the look in his eyes at all.
"Mr. Araki, was that hinting at something?"
When the tram passed and the green light was restored, she asked.
"Don't care, don't care...... It's rare for a girl to pass by here together, and I can't help but try to pay tribute. ”
Sousuke Araki waved his hands awkwardly, saying words of unknown meaning in his mouth.
A short walk up the ramp leads to an izakaya.
"This meal...... Is it the school that pays for it? ”
After the waiter brought the menu, Sosuke Araki cautiously confirmed it with Shuto Tokawa.
