Wabi-sabi Championship

"The first ※Wabi-sabi Championship ~ held suddenly! Boom! (Editor's note: A traditional aesthetic that refers to the beauty of incompleteness, simplicity, and impermanence.) "Wabi" refers to enjoying leisure in a simple house, and "lonely" refers to experiencing Zen in silence, which can also be interpreted as "Zen silence". The Chinese tea ceremony and Zen science were all deeply influenced by it. )

As usual, after school, as usual, the minister suddenly made a strange noise.

"Ah, okay, please tell us the rules, please say."

Bai Ya didn't stop the electric car he was playing with at hand, and asked the minister. Although Huanhuan, who played electric together, reminded him "Hey, senior, you're dead", the minister's strange voice was more important than anything else.

"It's wabi-sabi, the heart of Yamato."

The minister's expression was very smug.

Bai Ya thought hard, trying to decipher the hidden meaning of the code in the minister's words.

"Senior, the evolution material has appeared, Huanhuan is going to take it away!"

"Huh? Wait a minute—"

Bai Ya turned his head to look at Huanhuan, but then two small hands turned his neck back and forced him forward.

The minister's expression looked like he was angry.

"Uh, it's that kind of long autumn rain with ginkgo biloba as a blanket – is wabi-sabi something that feels like that? Ah, then again, wabi-sabi in China is best represented when the spring cherry blossoms are scattered. ”

"Well, although it is "silence", it is not the realm of "wabi". Today's topic is the meaning of "wabi". ”

Wouldn't there be no "silence" in this way? It's only "wabi"! In that case, it should be renamed the "Wabi" Championship—"

"Hey, that's starting with me, the noodle shop says "free rice" - and there are no customers. ”

"Ah...... Not...... This is considered "wabi...... Is it? ”

"I see, the composition of the restaurant offering products other than the main force is indeed a sign of lack of self-confidence on the other side. And the fact that there are few customers also faithfully presents the feeling that hard work is not rewarded. ”

Under the explanation of Sister Ziyin, everyone clearly understood the structure of "wabi" in this example.

"Another thing related to ramen is that many restaurants that have recently started selling set meals and noodles are all sushi restaurants!"

"Hmm...... It seems possible...... No, there is, absolutely, this is "wabi"! ”

"Hehehe, Bailan, you're finally enlightened."

"Then I'll talk about one too. I've heard that supermarkets have half-price stickers, so if you use them at a supermarket, everyone will be happy. However, if it is used on a flower shop bouquet, it will have a "wabi" feeling. ”

"Well, yes! Why? ”

Does Xiaoting understand the meaning of "wabi"? ”

Bai Ya threw the topic to the creatures of the heavenly realm.

"Hmm~mm......"

Xiao Ting furrowed her thick eyebrows and thought about it......

"If it's a pity, yes! Even if you open a large video game center nearby, it will soon close down......"

"The Magic Triangle?"

"It's a great grocery store now, though, but ......"

"Ah, that shop, it should be open for a few more months."

Uh-huh--Bai Ya also nodded with the minister, and he noticed that Senior Sister Su Qi seemed to have something to say.

"How does Su Qi interpret it?"

"Grandma, give it to me, sauce."

"Sauce? Seasoning? ”

"Well, forgot, the third bottle. Bought again...... I said, Su Qi, take it? ”

"Ah......h

"Memory loss as we age is an inevitable change......

Everyone nodded subtly and experienced the feeling of "wabi".

Only Huanhuan was still playing with his mobile phone with his head down. After Bai Ya stopped playing, she seemed to start the hunting journey alone.

"Hey, Huanhuan, you can join the discussion! It's a club event! ”

"Do you want it too? Huanhuan always felt that the level was much worse, so he didn't join the discussion! ”

"What?"

The minister bared his teeth and claws angrily. Huanhuan's words sounded provocative.

"I can't hear that, is that challenging us? Let's talk about your so-called "wabi", I'll help you identify it. ”

"Then, let's talk about what the senior just said, related to half-price stickers......"

At this time, Huanhuan seemed to be busy playing electric and stopped for a few seconds.

Everyone waited quietly for Huanhuan to speak, and the tension gradually climbed.

“…… There are puppies in the pet store that are too big, so they put a half-price sticker. ”

"Hmm...... Woo whoa, a ”

Bai Ya couldn't help but imagine what would happen to the puppy that couldn't be sold - he didn't expect it to turn out like this!

He clutched his head and screamed and fell out of his chair.

Bai Ya may never dare to go to the pet store again! I used to think those children were "so cute", but now I may not dare to look at them anymore!

The overlord of the first wabi-sabi championship was the giant of wabi-huanhuan. Then, the championship was sealed forever.

Trivia

Kittens and puppies that can't be sold

Don't worry, according to urban legend, "the health center will take over" these puppies and kittens. Vaccinate them, then find their owners and deliver them to them for free. Even if you raise a large one, the cute creatures are still cute, so you will definitely find an owner.
