Chapter 171: Fireworks Ceremony (1)
Although I have a casual attitude towards dressing, I am quite particular about it when I am in the mood. The men's kimono for the fireworks festival seems to have been made for me, or rather, I subconsciously like it. To say why......
In his memory, he wore black clothes on the outside and white clothes on the inside.
Whether it was black or white, I honestly can't remember. I'm sure I'm determined to remember it, but I can't remember. This feeling is like seeing a picture one day, dΓ©jΓ vu, but thinking about it is fruitless.
There are no other flowers on the clothes, but cherry blossoms instead. The clothes are not black or white, they are colorful and may be suitable for women. So, when Suzuki showed me the kimono, I thought he was mistaken. Men's kimonos are different from women's kimonos, and when I realized this, I reluctantly accepted the owner's kindness.
"The party should be a little more plain clothes, although this one is simple, it is a little more gorgeous. β
"Probably because of the cherry blossoms. Suzuki smiled, "Originally, we had prepared more kimonos for you, but this fireworks festival has brought a lot of people from outside the clan. Part of it is for you, and part of it is for other dignitaries. In this way, in the end, there was only one kimono left, and only one person did not choose a kimono. β
The person Suzuki is talking about is me who passed out on the Asto Maru.
"However, if you look closely, this kimono is not bad, and it can be called a work of art. You see, the cherry blossoms that are used as decorations seem to dance on the clothes ......"
The red flowers of the other side danced on the white clothes, like living beings praying for me. Is it in white, or is it in black? I see, it doesn't matter.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing," I replied to Suzuki, "just remembering someone who had forgotten and missed so much." β
"Girlfriend?"
I didn't answer the gossip Suzuki, and waved his hand to signal him to leave the room.
"It's all men, what are you afraid of!" would have been said by the other boys, but Suzuki was an acquaintance, bowed slightly to me and turned away.
The breakfast is no less sumptuous than the feast set up by relatives during the Chinese New Year. I am nervous and always think more than others, such as this breakfast party, which makes me think of extravagance and waste.
"Isn't that overdone?"
I turned to Suzuki with wide eyes and saw him smile as he moved a plate of egg rolls to Kim Yingying.
"Why are you ......" Jin Yingying's eyes widened.
"Seeing that you kept looking at the egg roll and didn't get up and stretch out your arms to pick it up, probably because you were worried about the boy who would get in the way, so I helped you. β
Jin Yingying, who blushed blushing, carefully sandwiched an egg roll with two fingers, and then quickly withdrew it, slightly turning her back to Park Ji-woo, who was not aware at all, should be nibbling on the meal.
"I thought you could read minds, but you just turned out to be a little sharper than everyone else. β
"The human heart is unpredictable, and mind reading is certainly not an easy skill to master. However, many magical creatures have this ability, but they can only read the thoughts of the surface of the subject, and cannot penetrate into the human heart. β
Suzuki, who was sitting on a cushion, inserted his hands into his sleeves, giving him the appearance of a man.
"Or do you think I'm like a woman?"
Even now, when I learned that Suzuki Ueki was actually very perceptive, I was still surprised by his words.
"You were born so delicate, if you don't say anything, I will always treat you like a girl. β
Suzuki Ueki smiled happily, and this expression attracted the attention of several female classmates.
"It's a pity that I'm not a daughter, but a man. But even if we can't be boyfriend and girlfriend, wouldn't it be fun to be friends?"
The boy was generous, and followed my words without showing any anger or rebuke. I believe he is indeed the brother of Kojiro Suzuki. In this way, most of the people named Suzuki Mamoru are also reasonable people. This is the case, which confirms my theory that "a good family will give birth to excellent children".
Josh asked for a bowl of ramen and confidently told me that the whirlpool-like thing was called Naruto roll. So I thought of the ninjas of the Suzuki clan, and I thought of a cartoon, and I wanted to say a few words, "How can a real ninja mess up things", but when I thought that I could stop time, I swallowed the spit.
Lilith wanted to eat the specialties of the Suzuki family, and Ma Chao joked that they were all specialties, and Lilith glared at them fiercely.
I don't understand why Park Ji-woo ordered sushi, maybe he hadn't tasted it before, and he looked like a food evaluator.
What Richard and Hogg were discussing. It made me a little lonely to see that Hogg, who was always chasing after me, didn't take the initiative to talk to me since I woke up.
"Kojiro not coming?"
I heard that people in Yamato can't eat noodles without revealing what is in their mouths, and I wanted to remind Josh about this, but Alex preempted it.
"Kojiro, who is preparing to succeed the patriarch, will not be able to meet with you until the patriarch succession ceremony begins. If there's anything you want to say to him, let me know and I'll pass it on to him. β
People are like that, in the face of clear instructions, they forget what they wanted to say.
"There is still more than half a day before the fireworks festival, so we can't stay in your house, right?" Yu Jingjing said.
Josh quietly approached Kaka, who had his eyes closed, but was rejected by him. So he said, "Although the house is big and the view is good, it is a bit lonely. β
Ueki Suzuki explains, "My family doesn't come back here because I live outside the country all year round. Maybe it's a little lonely, but the environment is no worse than that of the Academy of Magic.
"This house was built by my ancestors when they were the patriarchs of the clan. Therefore, we will not ignore it and hire people to clean up even when we are outside.
"It is rumored that the soul contractor of the ancestors has a long lifespan, and he still lives in the house, and the dragon does not see the head and the end. β
"Is it a nine-tailed fox?" Park Ji-woo asked.
"Definitely. Suzuki replied, "In the documents recorded by the Suzuki clan, there is only one nine-tailed fox. It was a legendary existence that appeared in front of the leader of the Suzuki clan, the first patriarch of the Suzuki clan. Later generations did not record this, so scholars can use this as a basis for their research. β
"So, who is your ancestor's soul contractor?"
Suzuki Ueki said embarrassedly, "To be honest, no one knows about this. β
"Even the elders of the Suzuki clan don't know?"
"Yes. Suzuki replied, "The only information we know is that the Ancestor's Soul Contractor lived here since the house was built, and he never left until the Ancestor's death. β
"It can't be a ghost-like magical creature, right?"
Josh's joke minimizes the surrounding temperature.
"I've heard that the village of Kamiki, where the Suzuki clan is located, has many famous places such as Inari Shrine and Lake Grief. Anyway, it's still early for the fireworks festival, so why don't you have Mr. Suzuki Ueki, who is Kojiro's eldest brother, take us on a tour of Kamiki Village?" Richard made a good suggestion.
Jun Suzuki replied before Suzuki planted the tree, "I'm sorry, everyone. Shushu has always been weak and sickly, unable to go out, so he can only recuperate in the house. I would like to ask you to leave it to me. β
"No wonder he's so slim, I thought it was ......" Alex covered Josh's mouth before he could say anything hurtful.
Shenmu Village is different from what I imagined. Although I have a hypothesis, since it is the residence of a small and famous family in the wizarding world, the village will not be small. However, I was really shocked when I learned that there were still high-rise buildings in Shenmu Village.
Suzuki said that the urban area is not the place where the fireworks festival is held, but the rural area is. This is well known, after all, fireworks in the sky of a city can cause a catastrophe.
We didn't go into the city area, just looked out from the lookout in the village. To be honest, I would love to go inside and see how the plants and the buildings come together. But people want to visit in the countryside because there are so many attractions here.
"There are very few outsiders in Shenmu Village, so what's the point of setting up these attractions?" I asked Suzuki.
"In our opinion, these are not attractions, but holy places. Although people have been in a certain environment for a long time, they will be more or less bored. However, for those of us in the Suzuki clan, this place is our home, and we will not regret spending our entire lives in Kamiki Village. β
Josh interjected, "Then why did the Kojiro family move out of Kamiki Village?"
Josh's question stumped Suzuki.
"It's someone else's business, Josh Walker, you still don't care. β
Josh turned to Richard and replied with a grin, "Understood." β
Our first place to visit was Inari Shrine in Kamiki Village. The shrine is in the middle of the mountain, and there is a staircase leading from the shrine to the foot of the mountain. Before you get to the stairs, you pass through the torii, and at the entrance in front of the torii gate, there is a stone statue on each side, and the carving is actually an ordinary fox.
"Isn't it a nine-tailed fox?" Xiao Hui asked the question that came to mind.
Just as Suzuki was about to answer, a familiar voice came from behind us, "Hey, boys, are you visiting the shrine of Lord Sky Fox?"
Haruka Suzuki jumped into our team and said without feeling abrupt, "You have to be careful, the passage of Lord Sky Fox can only be walked by divine envoys. Easy to get in, hard to get out......"
"Could it be, Shen Yin?"
Hearing Park Ji-woo say this, Josh stepped back behind Alex.
"Haruka, don't scare everyone. β
Haruka Suzuki smiled playfully.
"Why don't you stay with your future husband?"
Haruka Suzuki didn't hear the irony in my words, and said logically, "Of course I want to be by Kojiro's side." However, the elders said that no one should talk to their successor before the succession ceremony. β
"Then how can they talk to their successors?"
"yes," said Haruka Suzuki and Yu Jingjing, "those treacherous and cunning elders said that we should stick to the clan rules, but they didn't follow them, it'sβ"
Suzuki immediately interrupted Haruka Suzuki and said, "Without further ado, let's go up the stairs to the shrine." β
After walking a few steps, Haruka Suzuki shouted: "Yi Jiahe, are you holding a sky fox?"
"What do you think?"
Suzuki Haruka stepped quickly, looked at Kaka and asked again, "This, is it really a sky fox?"
Kaka is sleeping.
"Don't wake him up by yelling. β
In my eyes, Haruka Suzuki is a bold and somewhat reckless mushroom-headed girl who is only Kojiro. In front of Kaka, Haruka Suzuki was even more overwhelmed.
"Aren't you the guardians of the Sky Fox, why are you all like you've never seen the Sky Fox?"
"Of course we've seen Sky Fox. It's just that, how could the Venerable Heavenly Fox Master throw himself into the arms of us humans?"
"Do you want a hug?"
I handed Kaka to Haruka Suzuki, who had no master and almost fell down the stairs.
"It's an exaggeration. Adam, who caught her, said with a blank face.
Straighten your posture, Haruka Suzuki politely rejected me.
"Kaka is Kojiro's soul contractor, no matter how much you respect him, you always have to get along with him like family. β
Haruka Suzuki hesitated, stretched out his hand timidly, and finally shook his head and said, "I'll talk about it later." β
"I don't want to hug it. β
I heard Lilith muttering below, and I watched Haruka Suzuki take three steps and two steps up the steps quickly.
Not to be left behind, or perhaps encouraged by Haruka Suzuki's momentum, Charlie followed. Like overturned dominoes, everyone chased after them, and in the end I was the only one left, and the sky fox sleeping in my arms.
Walking up the stairs, looking up at the end of the line, I sat down on the stone by the steps.
"Young is a good ......" is like a sloppy uncle who feels sorry for himself, and I am only a few years away from this image.
The rustling of leaves, the chirping of birds and insects are not uncommon here. I suspect that only Kojiro's house does not have the sound of birds and animals.
"Mom's ......"
Looking down at Kaka, he clung to me with tears streaming down his face.
I must have missed my mother in the arms of others, but it was so long ago that I didn't have a single fragment of memory in my mind. All kinds of negative emotions occupy my body and mind, and gratitude has become empty words, and even if I do it, I have no intention of doing it. What is it that makes me who I am?
Kaka's mother is the nine-tailed fox I saw in my dreams. Not to mention why the genderless Sky Fox would become the mother of the young Sky Fox - there must be a reason I don't know - the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox once said that I could not save her, that would break the prophecy.
I believe that man will conquer the sky, but I also believe that fate is predestined. These are two contradictory things, and for me they are just the opposite of things. So, I was a little angry at the time. But, I did as she was told. Because I am afraid that my superfluous actions will create an irreparable situation, which is a cruel reality that is contrary to a better future.
It should be the third time to come to the big ice cube in a dream, and no matter how dull you are, you should know that you are dreaming.
"You summoned me?" I said unhappily, "Didn't you say you wouldn't contact me again last time, why did you go back on your word?"
The nine-tailed fox did not answer my question directly, but indifferently asked his own question: "You are trapped in the equatorial windless belt and cannot return?"
"If you know, tell me how to get out of trouble, isn't it the responsibility of the prophet to help the savior?"
The nine-tailed fox was silent.
"If you don't speak, I'll destroy this thing that's in the way. β
The nine-tailed fox spoke: "You already have the power to manipulate the natural elements, become one with nature, and feel all kinds of things. I can't help you because you can do it yourself. β
"I don't know. Would you like to give me some hints?"
The nine-tailed fox smiled slightly: "Don't you already know?"
Ignoring her, I turned and walked away.
"Remember, you're in nature, and the difference is just what you think of and what you don't think of. I was able to say goodbye to you like this because you wanted something from me, so I showed up. β
Looking back, waking up.
"Ahh......h
"Woke up?"
Tianhu shook his head and replied to me: "Sure enough, it is still the posture of a fox that is easy to sleep in, does not take up space, and is convenient everywhere." β
I laughed, "You can still not look like a fox?"
Kaka licked his fur and said, "Of course." β
"What can it become? Can it become a rabbit?"
"What is Rabbit?"
I couldn't help but laugh and said, "When I didn't say it." β
Kaka scurried over me, from my arms to my shoulders, and then to my head.
"I'm going to be human. β
"You mean, human?"
"yes," Kaka said, "I'll show you now." β
"Wait," I said to him, picking Kaka down in a panic, "don't change on my head, or you'll crush me." β
Kaka's changes weren't as complicated as I thought, neither the slow-motion action that was changing step by step, nor the first puff of smoke. He jumped up, and in the blink of an eye, he became a child and landed.
"It's a boy. β
"That's right. β
Kaka licked his arm, and I hurriedly said to him, "A human child doesn't do that. β
"That's right," Kaka said seriously, "Brother Jiahe, please leave me with the movements of the human child. β
The cute Kaka was dressed in a plain kimono, and I couldn't refuse his request. But I really don't know how to teach people, let alone a fox about a human childβI don't know it myself.
"Yi Jiahe, why are you so slow. β
It was Josh, who came back to see me with Suzuki, Xiao Hui, and Alex. Appreciate.
"Hey, who's this kid?"
Suzuki smiled, "It's Kaka." How. Don't you like to be human?"
"Yi Jiahe wants to see. β
"You're so good to Yi Jiahe. Alex said expressionlessly.
"Because Yi Jiahe is a very interesting person. β
I asked Kaka, "What do you think I'm interested in?"
Kaka pondered for a moment before replying, "Although you are full of human stench, I can smell my mother when I smell it." β
"You mean ......"
"Yi Jiahe has the smell of Mother Nature, and I like it very much. β
With that, Kaka jumped over and hugged me, embarrassing me considerably.
"I'm an earth magician, and I smell of the earth and Mother Nature, do you want to smell it?"
"Don't. Kaka flatly refused.
"Why?" Josh wondered.
The happy Kaka said ruthlessly: "Because the smell of earth on your body is wet, I hate it." β
The naΓ―ve Sky Fox inadvertently gave another 10,000 points of damage to a fan.
"Everybody's waiting up there, let's go up. Suzuki smiled bitterly.
Kaka asked me to hug him, and I said that he became a human and it was inconvenient for me to hug him.
"Then I'll turn back into a fox. β
"Don't bother, I'll take you away. β
"But I just want you to hug me. β
I do want to hold you all the time, but I can't expose my ambitions in front of my classmates.
"Hey!"
As I deserted, Kaka threw himself on my back. Immediately caught him, and I found that Kaka didn't weigh much. It was so light that it was like a cloth covering my back, making it difficult for me to perceive Kaka's weight.
"Just for a moment. Kaka smiled brightly at me.
Maybe......
I told Kaka to come down, then called him to him and told him to turn around, and then picked him up. Kaka turned into a child who was only four or five years old, and weighed much lighter than a four or five-year-old child, so I easily picked him up.
"Sky Fox is incredible. "I thought, I'll keep up with everyone.
