It's called Lake Shinji Shichijin, and it's a famous item in the Matsue area. ”

Kazuya Sakamoto pointed to several plates of dishes on the table and said.

Lake Shinji is located next to Matsue City, and because it is mixed with a small amount of seawater, the salt content is much higher than that of ordinary fresh water, and among them, there are seven kinds of aquatic products, such as whitebait, clams, shrimp, sea bass, carp, eel, and smelt.

Seven kinds of seasonal seafood are presented in different ways, and just looking at it gives you a hearty feeling.

In addition, there is a large plate of sashimi in a boat-shaped container, which is called Funamori sashimi according to Kazuya Sakamoto.

It is sashimi made from large fish such as sea bream, yellowtail, perch, and amberjack, and is covered with shrimp, sea urchin, cuttlefish, scallops, and other ingredients to give it the taste of the sea.

The four of them were at a table in an izakaya in an alley.

Johashi and Sayoko sat on one side, while Kazuya Sakamoto and Yamaguchi were on the opposite side.

There are very few tourists here, almost all of them are local uncles and aunts, but the food tastes quite good.

Probably it is this kind of small shop frequented by locals that has a truly local flavor.

"Sakamoto-san is quite familiar with this area."

Qiao Qiao looked at his phone, he wanted to use the review app to see the restaurant's special cuisine, but found that this izakaya was not marked on the map at all.

It's like a hidden shop.

"Didn't I tell you, I used to come to Shimane Prefecture when I was a kid."

Kazuya Sakamoto smiled.

"Anyway, Yamaguchi-san has been listless since the morning, is there something wrong with him?"

He looked at the Yamaguchi array beside him again.

"No, it's just ......"

Yamaguchi had faint dark circles under his eyes, and he glanced at Sayoko, a little hesitant.

"Is it Miss Snowfield?"

Qiao Qiao asked.

As far as he knew, Yamaguchi and the Snow Maiden had indeed started a relationship.

Could it be that there is some contradiction between the two?

It stands to reason that after dating the Snow Girl, the Yamaguchi Formation should not pay attention to Suzuka anymore.

"Well, sort of."

Yamaguchi was dejected.

"Miss Yukihara, is that the girlfriend Yamaguchi-san mentioned before?"

Unlike Qiao Qiao, Kazu Sakamoto is also a real social expert, and he had a good relationship with Yamaguchi Jin before.

If there is no matter of the Snow Maiden, the four people sitting together now should all rely on the relationship between Kazuya Sakamoto.

"Well, to be honest, it's been so hard to feel love lately."

Yamaguchi ate a slice of sashimi and continued.

"Miss Yukihara, in particular, has been not letting me sleep well every night lately after hearing that I was going on a study trip for a week, and to be honest, I didn't sleep until four o'clock in the morning last night, and I always felt like I was going to be squeezed dry."

“？”

Did something drive over just now?

Kazuya Sakamoto was stunned.

Xiaoyozi on the side was still innocent.

"Is love so hard? It's the first time I've known about it. ”

"Take care of your body."

Qiao Qiao often stayed up late at night to remove his spirits, and nodded with empathy.

"This Qiao San can rest assured, I'll take security measures."

Yamaguchi sighed.

"Although Miss Yukihara has been saying that it's okay lately, I'm still prepared for insurance."

"The topic we talked about was a bit dangerous."

Kazuya Sakamoto reminded.

After lunch, Kazuya Sakamoto discussed the arrangements for the night with the class committee, so he went back to the hotel for the time being, while Yamaguchi Jin prepared to catch up on sleep.

"Do you want to visit the Koizumi Yakumo Memorial Hall at three o'clock in the afternoon, we can go over and have a look in advance."

Qiao Qiao looked at the schedule in the tour book.

The Koizumi Yakumo Memorial Hall is located in Matsue City, just across the river from Matsue Castle, and after Qiao Qiao confirmed the time, he made a decision.

"Uh-huh."

Sayoko seems to be in a good mood.

The two took a bus to Matsue City.

Shimane Prefecture is mainly engaged in forestry and agriculture, and the city landscape is not well developed, and when you take the bus, you can see the loft buildings of Matsue Castle.

"There are really few people."

Walking down the street, Qiao Qiao looked around.

There are fewer people walking on the streets on weekdays, and it is even more deserted without the bustling high-rise buildings of Tokyo.

There are few young people on the street, and most of them are elderly people, which feels like a declining city.

I used to hear that Wakoku was a country in addition to Tokyo, but when I was in Kyoto and Nagoya, I didn't think much of it, but now when I look at it, it's a very realistic statement.

Near the Koizumi Yakumo Memorial Museum, there are more people, and there are some small shops on the side of the road.

"Want to eat?"

Qiao Qiao saw that Sayoko had been peeking at a stall selling crepes on the side of the road, so he asked.

"I just had lunch, so forget it......"

Sayoko said so, but her eyes were still honestly looking at a child with a crepe.

"Boss, I want one."

Qiao Qiao still dragged Sayoko to the stall.

Soon, I got the freshly made crepes.

"Wait."

Qiao Qiao channeled the crepe slightly.

No problem.

before handing it over to Sayoko.

Although this kind of random poisoning on the road is now rare, it is better to be safe.

Sayoko was a little puzzled, but when she ate the crepe, the expression on her face was only a smile.

"It's delicious, do you want to eat it?"

"I'm still ...... Well, let's try it. ”

Qiao Qiao took half of the crepes that Sayoko had divided and stuffed them into his mouth.

It tastes really good.

"I heard from the boss just now that Koizumi Yakumo seems to be very powerful."

Sayoko looks at the signs hanging in the shops around her, most of which are related to weirdness.

What Snow Maiden Ice Cream, Kappa Milk Tea Shop, Tapir Bedding Store and the like.

"In this case, it seems that there is no Koizumi Yakumo article in the Japanese language class."

Qiao Qiao thought about it and briefly introduced the life of Koizumi Yakumo.

"What, it turns out that he is not from Heguo?"

Sayoko was a little surprised when she heard this.

Hearing such a quaint name, I didn't expect it to be a blonde foreigner.

"Although he is not from the country, but Koizumi Yakumo's understanding of the strange culture of the country is deeper than many people, in his pen, weird is not a heinous monster, but similar to humans, flesh and blood, there is an emotional existence, and even in many stories, weirdness is more important than the affectionate human being."

Qiao Qiao said and came to the vicinity of the Koizumi Yakumo Memorial Hall.

Here you can see Matsue Castle, and the green trees on the side of the road form a natural barrier, isolating the surrounding noise, and it is peaceful and comfortable on an autumn afternoon.

Since it is an alley, there are few pedestrians.

At this moment, Sayoko saw an old woman in an old kimono standing under a tree.

"Little girl, can you do me a favor?"

The old woman said.
