On the second day of their arrival in Aomori, Miyashiro and Iwami Mai were mainly "scouting" in Hirosaki City, and spent the whole day filming all the scenes that should be filmed in the city...... Of course, it can also be said that the stage of the journey in the story will only be selected from what he has photographed or drawn.

On the third day after the day, the main location of the two of them shifted to the "countryside", first, to learn about the rural architecture here, to find a small town to take a picture of the street scene, and second, to see what the orchard looks like...... Mainly apple orchards, Aomori is the birthplace of the famous Fuji apple, and this is the part that will be used in the work.

Finally, I wanted to shoot some natural landscapes along the Oirase Stream as a pure background.

When you go to the mountains, you need to pay attention to the insulation compared to the city, and even though it is summer, the temperature difference is still large after the terrain is undulating...... Whenever he mentions this, he thinks of the famous Mr. Grylls, who for a time was very fond of the great Grylls's "adventures".

Therefore, he will also be consciously or unconsciously instilled with some knowledge of the wild, and the interesting thing is that this Mr. Grylls obviously has the strength to kill Baron Nash alone, but he always likes to compete with all kinds of white insects with whirring flesh, which shows that the way of human survival is really strange.

Rather than photographing cultural buildings in the city, Miyadai is more interested in photographing natural scenery, and of course, this is also because the scenery along this stream is very eye-catching......

The babbling water, the small waterfalls, the stone slabs covered with vines, the green fences covered with moss, the narrow wooden bridges that cross the stream, and the refreshing coolness of the limited skin that you can experience while wading through the water on pebbles...... And when taking pictures of this kind of scenery, you can take a picture of the people who follow you by the way.

However, it is often because the palace is more attentive when playing and filming people, so the word "by the way" is not used exactly.

cough, but in the final analysis, the purpose of the two of them coming here is still official business, and Gong Daiju will not get the point wrong. His work efficiency is still commendable, and he completed the work in the third to fourth two days.

To make "The Flying Witch" with the playback specifications of the season,It will involve a little bit of content about the "Sandman Festival" in the last episode.,But it's just a side description.,So do you want to feel the atmosphere of this summer festival in person?,It's dispensable for the palace generation.,But since it's hard to come to this kind of place.,It's good to stay for an extra day to visit.,It's also an increase in knowledge.。

By the beginning of August, Aomori Prefecture, which has a deep natural environment and a generally quiet feeling, is in a state of "euphoria", and the "Nebuta Festival" unfolds every night to the cheers of citizens and tourists.

In the middle of summer, people's mental and physical state will fall into a state of "trough", and in the "agricultural era" that relies on physical labor, this is obviously a state that working people must get out of...... Let's call the ancient island people who are waiting to be liberated "working people", after all, they are barely working people...... Therefore, in order to drive away the "nebuta" that hinders labor during the hot summer farming period, people concretize the intentional image of "nebuta" and make lanterns and banish them to the river, implying that this is the expulsion of the nebuta.

This is probably the origin of the Nebuta Festival, which later evolved into a grand summer festival.

Theoretically, the exorcism effect of this kind of activity is still there, after all, no matter how tired a person is, if he is in the midst of a grand event with a warm atmosphere, he will definitely become energetic, of course, this is very scientific, and it has nothing to do with the idealistic thing of the god and the strange view.

"Senior sister, are you ready to go?" After knocking on the door, Miyadai asked, standing outside the door.

The highlight of such festivals is naturally held at night, after all, even in the summer, even if you are free, you can't gather and run around the streets every day.

"Just come." Mai Iwami on the other side of the door responded.

The interval between this "coming" and Iwami Mai really walking out of the room can't be considered long but not short, but in terms of the girl's "preparation time", Gong Daiyu already feels that the senior sister is letting him go.

"Huh...... Senpai doesn't have the 'classical' she imagined. ”

Influenced by some shallow works, Miyayo always felt that all the girls in this kind of summer festival should wear yukata, but in fact, ...... Rinka-senpai is still the same style of dressing as a few days ago, and she belongs to the energetic modern girl category.

It's not that Gong Daiju is looking forward to the other party's new image, and he doesn't think about peeping at anything else. Besides, even if there is, one is to imagine innocence, and the other is ...... There is a goddess who is very lively and has a very lively hair, and once said, "As long as you don't find out, you don't count as a crime."

But in reality, it is obvious that this kind of dressing of the senior sister is more in line with reality.

"Come on, this isn't Kyoto, and there's ...... I'm a little bit of a fan of the traditional attire. As she spoke, the two of them walked out.

Senpai is also the kind of person with undulating terrain and temperature differences, whether it is a yukata or a kimono, it is more suitable for women with a flat body.

By the time the two of them went out, the weather had already darkened, and the main thoroughfare of Hirosaki City was already crowded with people dressed in festival costumes, and a "float lantern" could be seen every short distance...... That is, floats decorated with lanterns, which are made of bamboo, wood, and paper shells, and even weigh between one and five tons, and require dozens to hundreds of people to move.

Most of the floats in the parade are made by town associations, children's associations, schools, etc., and the Miyadai can even be seen with the word "So-and-so Kindergarten" on it.

Some large fan-shaped lanterns tend to be shaped like three-dimensional figures with bold and exaggerated postures, and to the surprise of Miyadai, a considerable proportion of these figures are "protagonists" of the heroes of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Water Margin...... Sure enough, when it comes to exorcism, it's still that kind of macho that is needed.

As night falls, the procession begins with smiling dancers dressed in bright headdresses and colorful yukatas, led by fan bearers, with crisp rattles and heavy taiko drums.

The floats move slowly in the crowd, the rhythm of the taiko drums, the clear and high-pitched hand vibrations, the last cicadas of summer, the shouts of the crowd, and the Miyadai in the deep in it is really a bit of a "night of fish and dragon dance" feeling.

No matter how gorgeous the floats and how moving the dance steps are, it is not worth paying attention to, but what is more emotional is the atmosphere itself created by the gathered crowd...... Traditionally, people gather to follow the path taken by their predecessors many years ago, following the rules that have been passed down from generation to generation, and travel at the same pace to destinations that look the same but different across time...... It is inevitable to be inspired and infected.

Of course, it is impossible for Gong Daiyu to have such a deep feeling as the locals, he is more just looking at the freshness.

Although this kind of activity is very oriental, this kind of orient is not the same as his kind of oriental.

The Nebuta Festival and the parade last for a week, and it is said that on the last day there will be a unique night parade on the sea and a grand fireworks display, but Miyadai will not be able to stay here until that time.
