Chapter 32: Don't, Don't Talk
Yuuki didn't run far back when he saw Hana squatting on the side of the road teasing the cat.
He breathed a sigh of relief, slowed his pace, and calmed his breathing.
"Meow!"
The cat's frantic barking came into his ears, and he subconsciously looked at it, only to see that a dog's tail flower held in Hana's hand almost drew an afterimage, and the fat orange cat's head was also about to draw an afterimage......
“……”
It seems that she is not in a good mood......
"Hana, Hana-chan?"
He shouted cautiously.
Hua Nai paused her hand and looked sideways, but there was still not much expression on her quiet little face.
She stood up, turned and walked forward.
Yuuki hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and followed.
Only the fat orange cat, with half of its tongue spitting out, was left lying on the ground, and the stars were spinning in circles.
In the early morning, on the slightly empty street, the two walked quietly one after the other.
There were large white clouds like cotton candy in the sky.
Yuuki glanced at the sky behind him, and it was already dark, and a series of dark clouds seemed to be drifting in this direction.
But it should be fine, at this rate, it will really rain, and they should also return to Winter Village.
He withdrew his gaze, but there was no one in front of him.
He couldn't help but be stunned and subconsciously stopped.
Huh? What about Hana?
There is only one road now, so it shouldn't be a fork in the road, right?
Slight footsteps sounded on the right, and when he heard the sound, he turned his head sideways and saw a vermilion torii, and Hana, who had not seen a figure just now, was walking inside.
People didn't lose their ...... He rejoiced and walked in.
This is a shrine of the land god, and it is much smaller in size than the mountain shrine on the top of Mt. Kanno.
At the end of March, the day after he came to Fukuoka, Hana took him to the Senichi exam, where he saw the real torii for the first time and took pictures.
Hana walked to the front of the offering hall, threw a few coins into the money box, and folded her hands.
Yuuki Yuichi stood behind and watched silently.
A few minutes later, she turned away without even drawing a lot.
The sky was even darker, and Yuuki looked at it again and roughly estimated the time...... Although it was a little delayed, it should still be too late to go back.
But Hana didn't seem to have the intention of going home directly...... She went into a coffee shop, ordered a cup of coffee she usually drinks, and sat quietly by the window, looking out the window.
Yuuki scratched his head, and finally sat down cheekily opposite Hana and ordered a glass of water.
He wasn't too fond of coffee.
As if she didn't see him, Hana slowly sipped her coffee, glanced at her phone from time to time, and asked the clerk where the coffee beans were.
Yuuki Yuichi held the water cup and drank the water slowly.
Ice cubes are added to the water, and the taste is cool.
Hana finished her coffee and got up to settle the bill, Yuuki finished the water with a grunt, got up and walked out, but the clerk stopped him politely...... His water hasn't been settled yet.
Yuuki apologized, settled the water money, and walked out of the coffee shop quickly.
Luckily, Hana hadn't gone far, and he followed again, looking up at the sky. Let's have a book
The dark clouds that were still behind just now are now running overhead......
And the little girl in front, she still has no intention of going home.
Hana deviated from her usual way home and walked down a street she had never walked before.
Yuuki Yuichi is a little resistant to the unfamiliar streets, because he will lose his sense of direction, and he can't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, and he can't tell where he is going and where he is going......
As for why this is the case...... Could it be that there is something wrong with his brain?
But now was not the time to think about it, and he stubbornly followed...... Anyway, there is an anti-getting get rid system, and as long as you follow Hana, there shouldn't be a problem.
…… Fukuoka is a large city on the island of Kyushu, highly modern, and although it is not as compact as the streets of Tokyo, it is only a relative relationship between the two cities.
For individuals, it's still very big, Yuuki Yuichi can still tell it clearly at first, but after following Hana around like this a few times, his mind is chaotic......
He improved his attention, and in addition to seeing all directions and hearing six ways, his eyes did not leave Hana at all...... I didn't even dare to go too far and staggered the same traffic light.
"Where is this going?" He muttered to himself.
The two of them walked like this, through the commercial street, through the office area, and also passed by a small port, and bought freshly fried fish cakes in a fish shop.
This type of fish cake is made from surimi, the head and internal organs of the fish are removed, the spine is cut off, and the surimi is made from other places, and then fried into flat, palm-sized fish cakes.
Hana seemed to like eating this and bought five of them in one go.
Yuuki Yuki also bought one, and the taste was ...... It's not as delicious as what he makes, but the cakes he makes, Hana has never eaten five in one go.
The two of them continued to walk one after the other, and the salty smell and humidity in the air suddenly became heavier.
Yuuki glanced at the side and thought that this place might not be too far from the sea.
After walking a short distance, he heard the sound of the tide not far away, and then suddenly looked up and found that before he knew it, he had come to the bottom of Fukuoka Tower.
A row of carp streamers fluttered in the wind.
Yuki Yuichi suddenly, now he knows where he is!
- Near Fukuoka Tower!
There seems to be a seaside park here, and he had heard Ohno Zyko say that it was a place to fish......
Turns out Hana wants to come here! He nodded slightly, thinking he knew.
It's a pity that Hana just stood in front of the fence for a while, ate a fish cake, and continued walking.
The dark clouds in the sky were thicker, and a light wind was already blowing.
Yuuki Yuichi looked up at the sky, then at Hana's skirt, hesitated, and ran to the store while Hana was still in sight...... Bought a raincoat and a bottle of water.
It is impossible to play an umbrella, when the wind blows, how can there be a hand to press the corner of the skirt?
And this shop! There is only this one piece of rain gear left to sell, and even the goods are not prepared, what kind of store do you open?
"Boom!" A dull thunder sounded, and Yuki Yuuki's cheeks felt a little cold, this ...... It seems to be still heavy rainfall.
He hurriedly chased after him, and he didn't care about being a follower anymore, so he handed her the raincoat: "Put it on...... There is also water, just eating that, the throat is uncomfortable. ”
Hana didn't move.
Yuuki was helpless, stuffed the water into his pocket first, and then put the raincoat on her body, while tensing his body to prevent Hana from suddenly punching him in the stomach - Hana has a habit of beating people in the stomach first.
However, Hana did not move, and let him "go up and down".
He sorted out Hana's raincoat, and it rained heavily.
He wiped the rain on his face, looked at Hana in front of him who was wearing a cartoon raincoat like a child, and said gently: "It's raining, go back to Winter Village, right?" ”
Hua Nai was silent, turned her head to look at the closed store, and lifted her hand to rip off her raincoat.
Yuki Yuichi was guarding against her, holding his hands down and saying, "Don't, don't pull it." ”
