205. The second day of Shikoku
In the 30-minute premiere, everyone talked about the behind-the-scenes story for 10 minutes and promoted it for 15 minutes. In the remaining five minutes, the supervisors praised the male and female lead voice actors for being able to appear in the live-action version, and the two voice actors said how much effort the supervisors had put in.
The next day there was nothing to do, and everyone waited for the open-air performance to be held in Tamamo Park on April 3rd.
Yu Murakami woke up early in the morning and had breakfast at the hotel β a golden grilled shrimp, five slices of veal, three pieces of salmon, two baby octopus, and other than that, only wasabi and soy sauce.
The amount is very small.
When he's ready to go out for a stroll, buy something to eat, or starve until noon, and settle it together.
At nine o'clock in the morning, neither the ramen shop nor the coffee shop were open. Along the way, only the restaurant with the word "Yangzhou" written on it was open.
Yu Murakami has seen many strange things in Tokyo, but this is the first time I've seen such an empty city streetscape.
After hesitating for a while, he finally gave up entering the "Yangzhou" store. He has been in Yangzhou for a long time, whether it is fried rice or the miscellaneous things on Dongguan Street, he has tried them all once, and he doesn't particularly like them.
Let's just eat lunch together.
Having made up his mind, he no longer paid attention to whether the store was open or not, and simply went directly to the Ritsurin Park, which was recommended by the organizers yesterday.
At an intersection, when turning left, three meters behind him, Risa Taneda, who had been following for half an hour, spoke.
"Wrong! Hyogo-cho is ahead! β
"What are you doing with me?"
Yu Murakami turned his head to look at her.
"Didn't you say yes yesterday?"
Risa Taneda was still standing three meters away from him.
"I can't find anyone to shop with. No way. But don't worry, you shop yours, I'll shop mine. If someone covets my beauty, you just need to help out of compassion. May I? I'm sorry for you. β
She bowed.
"You're a popular voice actor, walking with me as a man, aren't you afraid of scandals?" Yu Murakami politely refused.
If the two are seen walking together in Tokyo, it can be said that they are discussing work matters or going to the set together, but it is difficult to say that the two are seen shopping together in this remote Takamatsu City.
It's like being photographed by the crew entering a room late at night, which can be said to be discussing the script, but being photographed shopping abroad together, it's hard to find a reason.
"Afraid of what? Can Wenchun still catch up with Gao Song? β
"Wenchun?"
"You don't even know about Wenchun?" Risa Taneda's expression was as if he didn't know who the prime minister was, "Bunchun magazine, that weekly magazine that specializes in spying on other people's privacy. Many voice actors in the industry have been exposed to the news of cheating and the like. β
After explaining, she urged:
"It's so tiring to talk like this, you shop yours, I'll shop mine, okay?"
"I'm not going to the pedestrian street today." Yu Murakami refused again.
"And where are you going?"
"Ritsurin Park."
"But I haven't been to Hyogo yet."
"Does it have anything to do with me?"
Yu Murakami stopped talking nonsense and continued to walk in the direction of Ritsurin Park.
It was indeed difficult to speak from three meters away, and besides, there were already people around who stopped and looked at them with strange eyes.
Today, I wore a Western-style blouse and a white flower skirt on a blue background, and I was so anxious that I stomped my feet when I looked at the travel guide that I had flipped through to the {Hyogo Town Must Buy List}.
Looking left and right, the unfamiliar streets, the pedestrians without any sense of intimacy, especially on the streets at nine o'clock, there were not many people, and she panicked.
"Forget it, forget it, it's the same to visit Lilin Park first. Stuff can be bought later. β
Quickly keep up with Yu Murakami, who was walking away, slowed down at a distance of three meters from him, and without waiting for his breathing to be smooth, he quickly took out a travel guide and turned directly to the chapter of Lilin Park.
"Ritsurin Park, founded around 1570, was originally the private domain of a wealthy noble......"
After walking for more than half an hour, I finally saw the small hill full of trees in Ritsurin Park.
Risa Taneda felt that her feet were as heavy as iron, and every step she took felt like she was relying on inertia. After all, it was not shopping, and her mental will did not bring extra strength to the body.
I want to propose a break, but I feel that following Yu Murakami is already a trouble for others, so I can only follow.
Just as she was making up her mind that she would never come to Ritsurin Park again in her life, Yu Murakami stopped in front.
She was overjoyed, and immediately a little proud.
Look, after a long time, I still deliberately prank and bully her to get her attention.
Oh, superficial.
She let go of her hand, which had been supporting her waist because of exhaustion, and walked over slowly.
"What's wrong, how to stop ......"
Before he finished speaking, standing in front of Yu Murakami, a woman in a pink yukata who was not beautiful but very well-behaved spoke.
"Is this gentleman from somewhere else?"
The woman's voice is subconsciously soft, and the neckline of the yukata is wide. Risa Taneda guarantees that Yu Murakami, who is so close and relatively tall, will see something.
"Yes, indeed." Yu Murakami said.
"I bought the annual card of Lilin Park, and I went there once when I had nothing to do, and I have never seen such a handsome person as you on this road." The woman smiled faintly, neither flattering nor alienating.
"Thank you."
Risa Taneda slowly walked up to the two of them, pretending to be interested in the river on the side of the road, and stayed next to them.
I was curious and tickled, could it be that this is {Murakami?} Find a roadside amateur to go home and sleep directly}?
Maybe I didn't misunderstand him at all, the reason why I went to the bookstore that day was just because his body couldn't hold it?
Taneda Risa buried her head in the stream, the corners of her mouth subconsciously showed a smile, and her ears were erect.
The woman in the yukata pointed to the small river next to the two of them, which was about two meters wide, and said, "The water of this stream is all mountain spring water flowing down from the mountain, so you can drink it directly." β
"Yes."
"Hmm~~"
The yukata woman gently straightened the hem of the yukata, then slowly squatted down and put her hands into the flowing stream.
"It's so cold~~Hehe~ It's still spring, and when it's summer, this water is delicious."
The woman in the yukata smiled like a deliberately cute female voice actress on the stage, and then held the stream water in both hands and took a sip.
"Spring is not as good as hot summer." As she spoke, she took out a silk scarf pinned to her waist to wipe her hands, and at the end, she stroked a few strands of long hair that were scattered because of squatting.
The two chatted for a while about the flow of the mountain spring water, the water level of each season, and the taste.
Risa Taneda is impatient.
Why don't you take this woman home to sleep, and don't take this woman to the park with you, why are you talking here stupidly? My feet are tired of standing.
Just as she hesitated to speak, the woman in the yukata said, "Sir, are you going to Ritsurin Park?" β
"Hmm."
"Do you need me to accompany you? I have a good idea of where to look at Ritsurin Park, when there are the fewest people, and which angle to take the best photos. β
"Not really. I like to go and walk around alone, there are no places I have to go to, and there are no must-see views. Thank you for telling me the story of this creek. Good bye. β
Huh? That's it?
Taneda Risa looked at what she had just listened to, but the next second she suddenly turned around and left.
Are you sure you don't bring this woman? Her photography skills should be useful, right?
Risa Taneda followed with some reluctance, walked around a corner, and couldn't help but turn back.
By the side of the stream, which is full of mountain spring water, the woman in the yukata still stands quietly, looking at the back of the village in the distance.
After turning the corner, Risa Taneda couldn't help but ask:
"Why reject others? Isn't it good to have a familiar local as a tour guide? Maybe you'll be able to stay at her house for the night tonight. The money for the hotel is saved. β
"Would you like a strange man who suddenly wants to be your tour guide and take you to stay at home for one night at night?"
The two were separated by three meters, and Yu Murakami didn't look back, walking towards the closer and closer Ritsurin Park, while talking to the people behind.
"How can this be the same? If a man goes to live in a girl's house, he won't suffer, right? β
"You're discriminating against men. I can be a gender egalitarian. β
"Huh? Gender equality? In this kind of place? β
"No way?"
"I don't think so!"
"It seems that we don't have a common topic. I don't have much to say about people who don't support gender equality. β
The two of them fell into an inexplicable silence for inexplicable reasons.
Risa Taneda felt strange in her heart, this topic ended suddenly, how did she seem to be the wrong party in the end?
Walking past a private school, the two finally arrived at the east gate of Lilin Park.
In the distance, the blue sky and white clouds are slightly undulating, and the hills full of trees are slightly undulating.
Yu Murakami's first impression was: Isn't it a forest full of pine trees?
In fact, the pine trees at the entrance are too vibrant, giving people the illusion that the Ziyun Mountain behind the park is full of pine trees.
The two of them entered the door and turned left and bought a ticket at the ticket office for 410 yen a ticket for four bottles of mineral water.
When you start your visit, there are a lot of pine trees, but the smell of cedar trees from time to time tells visitors that "this is not all pine trees."
"Wow~~, this branch is too strange!"
As soon as I entered the park, I slapped the snake-like branches of the pine trees above my head.
Yu Murakami glanced up, it was indeed strange, the branches were intertwined, like a net. If it is changed to night or cloudy day, it should give people a very eerie feeling.
"Huh? Why did you just leave? I haven't finished filming yet? Risa Taneda saw that Murakami took a few glances and left, and hurriedly followed.
The two stopped and walked, and Risa Taneda took the travel brochure and asked, "Murakami-san, do you know how many pine trees there are in this garden?" β
"I haven't read the relevant information, and I haven't visited the whole park, how do I know?"
"I know, there are 1,400 of them."
"That's amazing." Yu Murakami said as he looked at the pine tree in front of him with bark like a turtle shell.
Taneda Risa didn't care about his perfunctory tone, and continued to show off: "Not only that, but every pine tree here is pruned by hand. β
"So?" Yu Murakami looked back at her, "I saw more than 1,000 trees written on the sign at the door, how did it become every single one?" β
"Impossible!" Risa Taneda flipped over the tourist brochure and pointed the small letters at Yu Murakami, who was three meters away.
"Look!" She pointed to a smaller font under a picture: "It's clear here, {There are 1,400 pine trees in the garden, and each one is pruned by hand.} }β
"That's weird."
"You must be mistaken." Risa Taneda continued to look through her travel guide, "I want to take pictures at the door before you can come in, how can you see the content on the sign clearly?" β
"That's right." Yu Murakami doesn't argue either.
"Next, let's go to the attraction {Kamezuru Pine}. It is said that it is the most beautiful tree in the park, and the photo index is three stars. β
"You can go yourself."
"Huh? Why? β
"I'm going to wander around, see what I can see, and even if I can't see it."
"You're very inefficient. Walking slowly, how is it possible to see all the important sights? β
"After reading it, it doesn't matter if you can't finish it." Yu Murakami continued to walk forward.
Risa Taneda angrily "shot" Yu Murakami's back, and softly imitated the sound of a bullet in her mouth, and then followed.
The sun is rising, and the family or couple who occasionally passes by the two takes off their sweaters or coats, either in their hands or on their shoulders.
Yuya Murakami took off his black jacket and carried it from the middle of his clothes.
"There's a place to rest and something to eat. Let's get there! β
Risa Taneda walked over first, she was already too tired to walk, and she felt that the number of steps she had taken this morning was as good as the amount she had taken in Tokyo for a week.
By the time Murakami walked over, she had already bought a matcha ice cream and sat on a bench, taking a selfie with her phone or taking a picture of the ice cream.
Yuya Murakami walked to the window selling ice cream and took a look.
Matcha 400 yen, half matcha half original 350 yen, plain 300 yen.
Yu Murakami bought the original. Later, I sat down on a bench away from Taneda Risa, enjoying the peace and quiet while eating ice cream.
There was a child who couldn't tell the gender yet, and he staggered up to him, holding Yu Murakami's knee with his hand, and looking at the ice cream in his hand with eyes that were clearer than mountain spring water.
"It's so cute~~"
Risa Taneda trotted over, squatted in front of Murakami, and looked at the child.
The child ignored her and stared at the ice cream in Murakami's hand.
Murakami eats, his eyes move up, Murakami Yu puts down, and his eyes follow down.
With a slightly long mouth, you can see crystal clear saliva accumulating.
"Baby wants to eat?" Taneda Risha hooked a little bit with her fingers and gently put it on the child's mouth: "Sister feed you." Ah~~~"
The child looked at her inexplicably, and then continued to look up at Yu Murakami.
"Huh? Why? β
"Maybe he likes to eat plain." Yu Murakami said.
"Then you feed him a little."
"I'm not used to eating one with someone else, whether it's a child or an adult. And for such a young child, it is also a matter of whether he can eat cold in the spring. Even if he can eat it, he wants to eat it, and after you feed it, other people's parents don't necessarily want him to eat it......"
"Huh?"
The peerless beauty looked blankly at Yu Murakami, who was usually silent.
β...... You're just causing trouble to others. β
After saying that, Yu Murakami sped up and ate the last bite of ice cream in his hand.
The child's lips began to tremble, and before he could cry, his eyes began to turn red.
"Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry," Risa Taneda hurriedly hugged him without holding the ice cream, "Uncle won't give it to you, sister will buy it for you." β
Yu Murakami: "......"
Taneda Risa was about to buy it with her arms, when Yu Murakami reached out and copied the child in his hand.
"Do what?" Risa Taneda asked.
"Don't give the kids any food."
"But he's going to cry."
Yu Murakami put the child on his lap, shook it gently, and sang the ending song "Little Adventurer" of "Blessings for a Better World" in a low voice.
γWhere you accidentally fall and get bruisedγ
[Oozing blood and faint stinging]
[It's okay, I'll be cured soon]
[I will be able to get a scar tomorrow]
......
The child made an intermittent whisper of "haha, haha", and his little hands didn't know if they were clean or not, and he always wanted to touch Yu Murakami's face.
Halfway through the song, my mother, who didn't even have time to wash her hands after going to the toilet, hurriedly ran over and thanked the two of them all the time.
"No thanks, no thanks, nothing." "This kid wants to eat ice cream, but we're afraid we're going to give it to him. β
"Xing-chan has been having diarrhea for the past two days, but she was hungry a few days ago. Good thing you didn't give her food. Thank you. β
"Huh? It's not a big deal. β
The mother held the child's hand and said goodbye to the two.
Risa Taneda looked at Yu Murakami: "Murakami-san, how do you know that she can't eat cold drinks?" You're pretty thoughtful, you're amazing. β
She gave a handsome thumbs up to Murakami.
"I'm just afraid of trouble." Yu Murakami stood up with his clothes, "Monkeys in the zoo are not allowed to feed indiscriminately, let alone people. β
"Monkeys? While what you're saying makes a lot of sense, can you use a different metaphor? So cute little girl. β
"Huh? Where are you going? I'm still done?! β
The two of them wandered around, bought baked rice cakes at Komatsutei, and ate udon noodles that are said to be the most authentic at Fukijotei.
The two of them went out of Lilin Park, and Risha Taneda folded the travel guide {Lilin Park} in half.
"Of the six pavilions, only three of them went, the most popular pavilion, the Tsuki Pavilion, the big teahouse where the feudal lord entertained VIPs during the feudal era, and the boat did not sit. What a loss for this tour. β
She was alone in the back, muttering in a voice that she thought Murakami couldn't hear.
After walking for another half hour, the two came to the intersection of Hyogo-cho and Ritsurayashi Park.
"Murakami-san, can you accompany me on a trip? I have something I want to buy. Please. β
Murakami thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes." β
"Thank you."
Waiting for the traffic light to turn green, Risa Taneda took the lead in crossing the zebra crossing, and Murakami Yugen was three meters behind her.
Along the way, Risa Taneda looked back from time to time to confirm that he was still there, and after seeing him, she continued to look through the list that had been prepared in her hand for a long time.
She should have made a plan a long time ago, and every time she went straight to the target store, it saved Yu Murakami a lot of effort.
When there were still a few things left, she looked at Yu Murakami, who was empty-handed.
"Murakami-san, don't you bring gifts for your friends?"
"They didn't ask me to bring it for them."
"This ...... Murakami-kun, I have to talk about you, if others don't talk about this kind of thing, you have to bring it too. Relationships need to be maintained. β
"So?"
"Of course. I suggest you buy some gifts as well, they don't need to be too expensive. β
Yu Murakami intends to listen to her.
But what to buy? He immediately thought of a silk scarf of 5,000 yen.
When he finished shopping, he went to the store. I bought green for Yumubi, Sakura cherry blossom color, Higashiyama white, and Nakano black.
While paying, he noticed that the mannequin was wearing a white beret on top of his head.
Wearing a kimono and a beret is such a strange combination.
The store manager noticed his eyes.
"This is the last one in the store, and I wanted to keep it for decoration, and if the customer wants it, I will sell it to you for 1,000 yen."
Yu Murakami is going to refuse, what is he doing with a women's beret? But after thinking about it, it's an addition anyway, whoever likes it when you take it back is it.
"Thank you, then I'll take it."
"Okay, I'll pack it for you. Guaranteed to receive the girl liked. β
Risa Taneda was three meters away, and when he saw that the store manager had given Yu Murakami five boxes, he counted them on his fingers.
Sakura, Higashiyama, Nakano, Naimiya, who else is there?
You don't want to give it to yourself, do you? After all, he is so good-looking, and after getting along with him today, it should be enough for him to like him.
No, no, I have to refuse.
{Although you have been with me for a day today, you and I have a very conflicting way of traveling, please try to change yourself.} Also, the way you speak is so weird, please be sure to change that. After that, let's start with friends. Get along for a year or two, and then send things when you have a certain amount of goodwill. }
Well, that's pretty much it.
"Let's go."
"Huh?"
"What? Do you still have something to buy? β
"No, no."
After walking for seven or eight minutes after leaving Hyogo, Risa Taneda not only did not receive anything, but the large bag and small bag in her hand had already overwhelmed her.
"That, Murakami-san, can you get some for me?"
Yu Murakami thought about it, it seemed that he had taken the initiative to help Miss Sakura take the initiative to get something, but then things became very troublesome.
But it doesn't seem good to reject a lady like this, and it's a colleague you meet often.
He looked left and right and found that it was quite close to the mahjong parlor he went to yesterday.
"Let's take a break."
"That's fine."
Yu Murakami led her to a noisy mahjong parlor.
The old man who lost money yesterday, the moment he entered the door, shouted, "Tokyo! Come here! Get back the money I lost yesterday! β
Later, Risa Taneda, who was originally quite disgusted with the place and environment, became interested in it when she heard this.
"Murakami-san, what you said yesterday is true? Really won a lot of money? β
"I never lie."
Yu Murakami left the bag at the counter and walked over. Taneda Risa also hurriedly deposited her things and ran over to watch.
Whether it is an old man or an old woman, there is no interest in Yu Murakami, who is handsome and handsome who is good at gambling and wins their money, and is very interested in the optimistic and lively peerless beauty Risa Taneda.
"Girl, also from Tokyo?"
"No, I'm a native of Takamatsu." Risa Taneda said obediently.
When Yu Murakami played his cards, he glanced at Risa Taneda, who was also a guy who lied and didn't blink.
"Are you a couple with this Tokyoite?"
"It's not. I'm a tour guide, and he's hired me privately today at a high price. β
"Girl, be careful, outsiders are very bad, especially Tokyo."
"Mmmm~~, I'll be careful."
After a few laps, Yu Murakami won back all the money he spent today and gave up.
The old man who lost money again cursed.
"I haven't been to the shrine for the past two days, so I'm unlucky! Tokyoite, do you dare to come back tomorrow? β
"That's not going to work, I'll have something to do tomorrow."
"Tokyo people love to lie! Yesterday I said I wouldn't come today! Today I came! Deceitful! β
The old man turned to Taneda Risa and repeatedly told him {Tokyoites love to lie} or something, and Tokyoite Taneda Risa smiled and nodded, saying that he would never fall for the Tokyoes.
On the way back, {Tokyo people love to lie} has become a mouth fetish of Risa Taneda, and no matter what he says to Yu Murakami, he has to repeat this sentence with a smile.
"Tokyo, Nanjing, Xijing, Beijing, there is no one in Beijing who does not lie." Yu Murakami said.
"Kyosa doesn't panic, what does it have to do with my Takamatsu locals?" The peerless beauty grinned, revealing her snow-white teeth. A head of black hair sparkles in the setting sun.
"Is this a matter of whether Jing is not in Beijing? I use the four kings to refer to all mankind. β
Risa Taneda was holding something in both hands, and she couldn't "shoot", so she could only blink her right eye and say again:
"Tokyo people love to lie!"
