301. Eternal night ushers in the dawn
The two looked at each other through tears.
"It's windy, let's go back to the room first." Yu Murakami said.
Risa Taneda turned in silence and left the terrace and entered the wooden house.
Yu Murakami followed in.
The room is simply furnished, but it has everything it should have. On a delicate wooden table there was a glass filled with water, and a half-open box of Yonale lay aside.
Risa Taneda sat directly in front of the curtain.
It's as if I've been sitting there for a long time, waiting for Yu Murakami.
Is it because, in rainy weather, she always sits in front of the window like this, and after a long time, it gives him such a feeling?
Yu Murakami was touched by the lonely scene in front of him.
He sat down beside her, "Are you doing?" β
"It's a pleasure. Even if you don't want to cook, you don't need to eat instant noodles, you can draw when you have nothing to do. β
"Didn't you say {lonely}?"
"So you don't reply to my messages when you see them, do you?" As soon as Risa Taneda said it, she regretted it.
I don't know why, she doesn't want Yu Murakami to feel pitiful right now.
Yu Murakami was silent for a while and replied, "Well, I don't know what to say." β
After listening to this, Risa Taneda suddenly became angry in her heart, and her tone was cold and stiff: "Then what are you doing here, I don't know what to say." β
Yu Murakami subconsciously picked up the box on the table and played with it in his hand.
"Are you still watching Swinging Travel? It's time to issue a single book. He asked.
Risa Taneda didn't answer, and replaced the answer with silence.
Yu Murakami continued to recount his time in Tokyo.
"I became the president of YM to advertise the manga and convince other people to invest. Now the animation thing has been confirmed. β
At this point, Yu Murakami glanced at Risa Taneda.
Her goose egg cheeks, which were originally very charming, have now turned into a skinny and charming melon seed face.
The neck is more slender and the collarbones are frighteningly distinct.
Although she is still unforgettable, she has indeed completely lost weight to a different person: from vigorous and healthy to quiet and elegant.
"The voice actor of [Taneda Risha] needs you." Yu Murakami said.
"That's what it was for." Risa Taneda looked straight out of the window, "I've almost forgotten about me now, and the lack of me alone in popularity doesn't affect your money." β
Hearing her say this, looking at her expression, I don't know why, Murakami Yu's heart just now because he hadn't seen him for a while, and his overwhelmed mood disappeared all of a sudden.
It's as if these days, the two still meet often on the set, he talks about the weather, Taneda Risa talks about where to go this week, and how much tax he has paid.
He knocked on the Youle Jia in his hand on the table, and his tone was relaxed: "There are also people who remember you, otherwise, how could I come to you." β
"Yes."
"Of course." Yu Murakami nodded, "So, do you want to go back to Tokyo with me?" You don't need an audition, and it doesn't matter if you have a good voice or not. β
Risa Taneda turned her face sideways and stared into Yu Murakami's eyes.
"During this time, you made me cry several times. I will never forget it. β
"Remember." Yu Murakami put the medicine box in his hand back into the box pile, "I will always remember it." Strive not to go once. β
In this late autumn, no, it should be an early winter afternoon, the warmth is like a slowly oozing hot spring water, enveloping the two of them.
"Have you eaten?" Risa Taneda softened her voice slightly.
"Not yet, but there's no hurry." Yu Murakami replied.
"Come with me." With that, she got up and left the cabin.
Yu Murakami followed her through the maple forest, crossed a small wooden bridge, feared a long slope, and finally pushed open a wooden door and came to a place for tourists to eat special meals.
The tables here are low and there are no stools, either sitting directly on tatami mats or cushions.
The room was empty as it wasn't meal time.
"You wait here for me first."
"Okay."
Murakami sent her disappear into the corridor and sat down by the door.
After looking at the maple leaves in the courtyard for a while, he took out "After the Decline of Mankind". Because I had already finished reading it on the way here, I just turned a page and saw which paragraph to read.
After he had read seven or eight pages, Taneda Risa walked in with a tray and sat down at his table as if she were kneeling, placing the tray on the table.
There are only two simple rice balls in the tray, and then there is a plate of pickles, and a bowl of soup.
"It's not a meal now, that's all, but the taste is okay."
Yu Murakami looked at her slender wrist, looked carefully, and could even see a faint green tendon: "You didn't eat it, did you?" β
"No appetite. You eat it. β
"Okay." Yu Murakami nodded, "Keep your stomach and go back to Tokyo with me for dinner later." β
"Not today."
Yu Murakami sprinkled seasoning on the rice balls, "What's wrong?" β
"I still have a part-time job, tonight."
"Part-time?"
"Hmm. I don't have to spend money to eat and live here, but I always need money to buy clothes. I can't wear my old clothes. β
"What about the money you saved for work?"
"I've also paid for my hospitalization." Risa Taneda said as a matter of course, "Moving here is also the reason for the quarrel with my mother." β
"When I get back to Tokyo, I'll introduce you to a job." Yu Murakami picked up a rice ball and tasted it.
It is worthy of the food of the scenic spot, the pinch is very good-looking, and the taste is similar to the outside. I just don't know what price to set.
"What job?" Risa Taneda pulled over a cushion and sat down on her knees again, her back down.
"Wasn't your previous dream quite a cartoonist? The work of the assistant. β
"Which teacher are you going to introduce me to?"
"Myself."
"You?"
"yes." Yu Murakami took a sip of the soup, which tasted light, and picked up the second rice ball, "I'm also a manga artist who actually makes manga into animation." β
"Really? You're thick-skinned. Risa Taneda said with a smile, "I taught you how to recognize tools in the first place, but now I'm going to be your assistant." β
"What kind of part-time job are you doing?" Yu Murakami asked.
"What kind of part-time job can I do at the shrine? Miko Maiden. β
"Mikoto?"
"Hmm. Actually, it's a lucky girl.,It's one of the witches.γ The guests bought the goods, and we blessed them on behalf of the gods. β
"Blessing? Do you still chant sutras? β
Yuya Murakami was forced to watch a lot of island TV dramas of this type with the female voice actors of Sakuraso.
"What sutra to recite?! We just need to tie the blessing to the things that the customers buy. β
Yu Murakami ate the last bite of rice balls and clapped his hands: "There are more and more things to cheat money now." β
"Did you say that?" Taneda Risa pointed to the inscription that appeared in front of the diners' eyes as the rice balls were goneβpresumably meaning that the meal was given by the gods.
Yu Murakami changed the subject: "Do you do it every day, this part-time job?" β
"It's not. Only in autumn when the "Salary Energy" opera is held in the Treasure Hall, there will be a blessing event. This year is special, and this Saturday is the last one. β
Yu Murakami was very interested and said "ah", "I like all kinds of festivals. Anyway, it's a one-day roll, and you can use it until 12 o'clock in the evening. But aren't you hungry? β
"Not hungry."
"I'm still going to have some food." Yu Murakami looked at her and said.
After the pear yarn was eaten, the sunset slipped in through the wooden door, and the maple leaves in the courtyard turned into real golden.
"I'm going to change my clothes, it may be a long time, you wait a little longer."
"Go ahead."
After Taneda Risa left with two plates, Murakami walked around the corridor in the shape of "Hui" and stared at the maple leaf for a while.
Seeing that she hadn't come back yet, she went back to the dining room, picked up the book and flipped through it casually.
Halfway through, I sent a message in the Sakura Village group, saying that there was a special performance in the evening, and there was a matter of Taneda Risa preparing to go back to Tokyo together, and she would go back later.
Suzune Sakura asked him to take Risa Taneda back to Sakura Village directly, and he was going to sleep with her tonight.
By the time Risa Taneda called him, it was already dark.
She wears a white kimono and a high golden hat, and her hair is tugged up with red flowers on it.
It's indescribably beautiful.
It's as beautiful as the season jumps from winter to spring all at once; It's as charming as if all the maple leaves of Kamakura Palace are about to fall off.
"Why isn't it a shrine maiden suit?"
"You like shrine maiden costumes!"
"Where." Yu Murakami closed the book and stood up, "Just curious." β
With graceful steps, Taneda Risa led him down the hill to the square.
Murakami looks into the distance, and in the dark jungle, the bright yellow lanterns seem to stretch from the mountains to Yugihama Beach.
He remembered Guo Moruo's "Heavenly Market", and then thought of Duhang's "Spring Things".
Subconsciously looked in the direction of Hachimangu Shrine and the street under the snow - naturally I couldn't see anything.
"Don't look around." Risa Taneda turned around.
"What's wrong?"
"The steps here are not safe at night. One night these days, I was right here, thinking about you as I walked, and I almost fell straight down. β
"That's it. That's the need to watch your step."
Risa Taneda directly grabbed his hand, "It's safer this way." β
"Or are you smart." Yu Murakami sighed, and he held her somewhat cold little hand back.
The two of them walked side by side in the dense forest, the steps that stretched down from the soles of their feet, because the lights came and went, and they also appeared and disappeared.
"Aren't you smart? No. It is a colored heart, but there is no color gall. β
"You misunderstood me." Yu Murakami is serious, "After the edification of Hayami-san, I now have extra respect for women, but that's it." β
"What's the situation between you and Suzune?"
"What's going on?"
"Again?" Risa Taneda remembered the day he went to his apartment, "Aren't you two going to learn to drive together now?" Didn't you go? β
"Yes."
"She must like you, and you certainly don't hate her, so why did you come to Kamakura to find me? Could it be that when you first became president, you came to me to be your lover? β
β......β
"Stop dreaming, I won't do such a pathetic thing."
"When you get back to Tokyo, you really should get your brain checked." Yu Murakami, who came back to his senses, shook his head helplessly.
"Although Suzune took the most care of me when I was sick, I will not be humble when it comes to {who marries you and who will be your lover}. When I returned to Tokyo, I gave her a war letter. β
"Hey."
"Scared? I'll just say you're colored, but you don't have the guts. β
"Don't you think what you're saying is ridiculous?"
"What's ridiculous? I'm the dark-skinned, sprinter in "Moonlight is Beautiful" β I won't give up even if it's someone my girlfriend likes β but I have to tell her my heart first.
Besides, you're not Kotaro and Akane Mizuno, and you're not together yet. By the way, have you watched the animation "Moonlight is Beautiful"? β
"I haven't seen it."
"Recommended to you.,It's a pretty good-looking love animation.γ Especially the voice actor of the male protagonist, who is very powerful, shows the youth of middle school students...... All right! You're lying to me again! Despicable Tokyoite! β
"You just remembered it yourself, and you can blame me?"
"I have cancer!"
"You have a tumor in your neck, not in your brain."
"For more than a month, I have worked so hard to think about it, and the cancer cells have metastasized to the brain."
"Yes."
"I don't care! You have to let me! β
......
Kamakura Palace's "Xineng" opera performance requires a ticket to watch, and Taneda Risa naturally prepares it for him.
He watched it alone for a while, and found that it was the same as Peking Opera, and it should feel very powerful, but he couldn't understand it at all, so he simply slipped out.
It's cold, and a tall bonfire is lit in the middle of the square, and sparks fly around like fireflies.
Many tourists don't look at anything, don't buy anything, take the hot soup that is delivered for free, and gather around the fire while chatting.
Yu Murakami walked and bought all kinds of food at the same time.
At eight o'clock, Ai Nakano made a video call. Murakami took it and saw four people gathered in front of the camera.
Before he could speak, Miss Sakura said eagerly, "Turn the camera back, who's going to see you!" We're going to see the festival! β
Yu Murakami turned the camera to the rear and continued to eat as he walked. When they got to the stall they were interested in, they stopped.
Helped them buy a lot of things.
At nine o'clock, the "Xineng" opera performance ended, the crowd began to disperse, and Yu Murakami went to find Rina Taneda.
The line for Fu Niang to bless is still very long, and he stands at the back.
Risa Taneda knees on the terrace of the shrine, just at the height of the tourist's upper body. The bright yellow lights in the shrine reflect her like a real goddess.
She cordially accosted visitors and tied blessings to their belongings.
The team walked very fast, and soon there were still three people left before it was the turn of Yu Murakami, and Risa Taneda looked up and saw him and laughed directly.
She tied up health, wealth, career, etc., to a family of three holding children in front of Murakami, in short, everything that was there, was tied.
At the end, he also touched the child's head and teased him kindly.
When it was Murakami's turn, he didn't care if he wanted it or not, he directly gave a marriage fortune, and then put on an expression of {this guest, you can go, leave the place to the next one}.
At half past nine, the blessing ended, and only the shops and shrine staff were cleaning up in the square.
When Risa Taneda went to change her clothes, Yu Murakami was in the wooden house where she lived and helped her bring the drawing boards, oil pen drawings and other things that were placed on the terrace into the house.
Changing clothes was much quicker than putting them on, and in a few moments she returned, followed by an elderly woman.
The two of them exchanged pleasantries as they walked this way.
"Eri-san, I've been giving you trouble these days, please take care of yourself."
"Pear yarn too, remember to help me say hello to your family."
By the time Taneda Risa packed up her belongings, it was already past ten o'clock.
The two rushed to Kamakura Station to prepare to return to Tokyo. The temple behind him is quiet in the night.
