Chapter 134: Hina Doll Parade
Although the time for coming back is agreed, it is impossible to leave like this. As a child of the Chitanda family, he always has to show his face on various occasions.
Shrine festivals have always been at the heart of the Japanese community, with a large number of participants, even in large cities.
Some Chinese and American scholars have also said that it is precisely this kind of large-scale, complex, and widely mobilized festival activities that everyone participates in since childhood, which has to a great extent tempered the organization, coordination, and discipline of the Japanese people.
Therefore, once recruited, soldiers who are familiar with each other, with a high degree of discipline and coordination with the same region as the core, and who also believe in the common gods, will have a stronger cohesion and combat effectiveness.
Of course, many people now say that it is the past of the so-called Showa boys. More people think of Japan as a "low-desire society."
In a society where struggle can no longer change fate, the young people, who are the main force of struggle, ignore all traditional habits and begin to lose interest in everything around them.
Therefore, no matter how low prices are, consumption cannot be stimulated; Under Abenomics, the number of home buyers is still declining year by year, regardless of the repeated reduction of bank credit rates; Most young people are completely reluctant to take on a mortgage or run a business that fails.
When China's social class is basically solidified, and struggle can no longer change fate, China's young people will almost be like this.
In the era of Japan's low-desire society, young people in Japan basically have no desire to speculate in real estate, no desire to speculate in stocks, no desire to get married, and no desire to shop.
There are more and more real otaku and otaku, and it is tiring to talk to people, and it is super troublesome to fall in love or something, and it feels redundant to go to the supermarket to buy things, and a mobile phone can accompany you through all the warmth and sadness of life.
As for a dead house, I also went to participate in shrine festivals and exercises, and I exercised my organizational and coordination skills......
Well...... Shouldn't the spring festival in April be at COMIC1 at Tokyo Big Sight!?
But it's just a joke, but even in Japan, otaku culture is not the mainstream, and being able to show your face at shrine festivals is something that ordinary people can't hope for.
Traditionally, it's an honor to be able to participate in shrines and festivals large and small. It is even said that among the clergy and believers involved in the closed door, the status of the believers is generally higher than that of the clergy.
The root cause is that most of them are responsible for sponsorship......
Even from the point of view of the Japanese dead house, the "awkward dance" of Kotaro Anzumi at the shrine festival in "The Moonlight is Really Beautiful" is completely a big plus point that finally completely crushes the rival in love.
(Chinese Dead House: Doesn't Kotaro feel embarrassed to dance?) Answer: It is more useful than saying a hundred sentences that the moonlight is beautiful. )
emmm…… Dog food is so sweet, and it's really annoying to charge it now.
Even in a place like Kamiyama City, which still retains a lot of the ancient charm of the Edo period and is trying to develop tourism, the opportunity to participate in shrine festivals has been monopolized in a sense.
For example, Irisu Fuyushi, who plays the role of the emperor's doll, is a local family who runs a general hospital in the city.
At the social affairs office, the Chitanda brothers and sisters soon met this "empress", a beautiful girl with a cold and serious aura who looked even more majestic than the real emperor.
"Sister Irisu, long time no see."
Chitanda Airu's birthday is on October 14, and Sentanda Chengyu, who is one year older than her in the Common Era, has a birthday on January 2 at the beginning of the year.
So among the peers of the same age, Chitanda Chengyu can generally rest assured that he is the big brother. (Note: Even if it is snowy on January 3rd, the same is the case.) )
"Chitanda, Sister Airu, long time no see."
"Sister Irisu, long time no see."
"I'm also bothering you to take care of Airu a lot this time."
After a few simple words, Chitanda Chengyu planned to say goodbye, but unexpectedly, Irisu actually asked about his further education.
There is nothing to hide, Chitanda Narita replied honestly: "In the end, I chose the International Liberal Arts Department of Chiba General Martial Arts High School......"
"So, will universities go abroad for further study?"
Although Qianantitian Chengyu hadn't thought about it yet, he still nodded, "Nine times out of ten." ”
The empress blinked and smiled, not knowing what she remembered, "So where do you plan to study abroad?" The United States, Great Britain, France, China, or - Germany? ”
"Uh...... At present, the probability of Germany may be relatively high. ”
This kind of thing can only be perfunctory first, and he also asked curiously: "Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?" ”
"I kind of think Mount Kinabalu is too small."
"That's right...... Sometimes I do. ”
Qiantantian Chengyu whispered, but he didn't notice the slight change in Airu's face.
………
Spring is warm in April, and the cherry blossoms in the north and south of Japan are in full bloom. Unfortunately, the cherry blossoms in Kamiyama City are still a little short of in full bloom.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the Hina Doll Festival parade, and Chitanda Narita Chengyu was also wearing a number of clothes, staying at the social affairs office of Mizuri Shrine, and coordinating with the palace secretary to deal with things.
Although he wanted to hide in his home after sending her off a few days ago, his father told him that since he couldn't participate in the spring festival because of his high school studies, he had to do a good job of the Hina Doll Festival as compensation.
He could only lift his spirits and return to Mizuri Shrine again.
Unlike Aran Shrine, Mizunashi Shrine is not only small in size, but also has narrow stone steps, and the shrine hall is quite old rather than historical.
Although it should not be compared to Aran Shrine as a tourist attraction, Mizunashi Shrine is also full of life on such a special day.
There are many tasks to prepare for the parade and dinner, to manage the materials, to arrange for the newspaper to take pictures, to wear props for the festival, to wear clothes, shoes, and to dress up the dolls.
The specific responsibilities of Sentanda Chengyu are closer to one of the "scheduled inspection deacons", on the one hand, to check and fill in the gaps and report to the palace secretary, and on the other hand, to be responsible for some specific affairs.
In fact, Sentanda Narita is no longer an immature novice, and he neatly confirmed the announcements and signboards that should be posted at Mizuri Shrine, and returned to the office in peace.
After returning and reporting to the older palace secretary, Chitanda chose to leave in a hurry. Although the white-haired palace secretary is also very kind to him, after all, it is not the shy and cute Shiji Xiangsui back then.
While greeting the various elderly people in uniforms, he went straight to the side hall.
The Hina Puppet Parade starts at half past eleven. Sentanda Narita had to finalize the hands of the team and the instruments they used in the side hall.
The procession was huge.
Although the puppet play of the young puppets of the ministers and the three female officials is very important, in terms of objective quantity, it is only a small part of the procession. The number of people is not even as large as the performance team in charge of Sentanda Chengyu.
Luckily, the members of the ensemble arrived on time and their instruments were fine.
Qian Yantian Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief, after calculating it, he basically had no burden.
Sentanda Chengyu quietly returned to the storage room and took out the camera and various lenses that had been placed long ago from his cabinet.
11:20 sharp.
It's time for the hatchlings to assemble.
