Chapter 167: Decline
Rin Rinko likes UMA very much, but Yayoi can't tell her about youkai and dragons.
Interest can only be maintained without discovery, and people are happy to be loyal to the unknown and unobtainable. When you really have it, you will abandon it and fear it.
Ye Gong Haolong probably means this.
Besides, you tell someone that there is a youkai, but you can't let her touch or see it. In the following days, the wind and grass were all soldiers, and it was simply not human.
For a while, Yayoi took a bath and felt like someone was peeping, and if it was a little unreasonable, it felt like a monster was doing it. After a long time, I gradually got used to it.
Yayoi didn't want others to suffer the same pain as herself, so until now, she has kept it a secret from Miss Ashisu.
Without further ado, let's get to the point.
After lunch, Yayoi and the king and the four ministers began a trip to the Mano Mountains. Rinko's grandmother stayed in the parlor for a while, and then quit on the grounds that she had to take care of business. The rest of the people (cats) are only Sansan, Eluma and Ugly Song.
Niangkou Sansan had a stomach full of food, lying over like a turtle, and Yayoi couldn't take a cat with a weight plus the steamed buns he ate to 30 pounds for a trip to Mano Mountain.
And Eluma is still eating steamed buns, and she can't solve this battle in a short time, so Yayoi has to buy two boxes of steamed buns so that Eluma can eat enough at once.
This girl has a big heart, even if everyone looked at her dumbfounded, she didn't care at all, and the speed of eating steamed buns became faster and faster. The mother on the side touched her belly and was envious of the dragon's stomach.
I want to eat but I can't help it. I could only drool and watch.
"President, I'll leave these two to you." Looking at his uncompetitive companion, Yayoi said to Ugly Song.
"Haha," Ugly Pine laughed, "I'm so touched by the fact that some people like Chupaca Bra steamed buns so much, let them all be handed over to me!" ”
Chousong ordered 1,000 boxes of steamed buns, but few buyers. As a result, these steamed buns have passed the tasting date, which hurts money and labors.
Nowadays, online sales can only be ordered after placing an order. And the number of orders is very small. Nowadays, some people like to eat this kind of steamed bun, and of course he is happy.
"Why do you think no one likes to eat it? It's so delicious. Ugly Song grumbled.
"Probably because it's not famous...... Right? Yayoi said ambiguously.
Steamed buns are so ugly! He can't speak! Imprinted the monster's avatar on the steamed bun, I really don't know what Chou Song thinks.
"I see! Then it's all up to you! Ugly Song patted Yayoi on the shoulder, pinning the burden on him.
"Uh......" Yayoi wanted to perfunctory, but when she saw Ugly Song's serious eyes, she nodded solemnly.
"I see!"
Neon learned from China, and there will be festivals in many places.
But unlike Huaxia, their festivals are much stranger. For example, the Tetsuo Root Festival in Kanagawa Prefecture worships human organs and prays for children and grandchildren.
Mano Mountain doesn't have such a heavy taste, but they also have a festival as a matter of course, and that is the Jiaolong Festival.
Once upon a time, there was a dragon girl living in Mt. Mano.
People want to learn the knowledge of the dragon maiden, hoping to live a more prosperous life. So they went to the cave where the dragon maiden lived, lit a bonfire, sang songs, and danced a dance to attract the dragon maiden, hoping that the dragon maiden would come out of the cave and join them.
Unexpectedly, the dragon girl was so frightened that she escaped from the cave and soon disappeared from people's eyes. By the time people approached her and tried to explain it, the dragon girl was dead.
In order to sacrifice this poor dragon girl, Mano Mountain began the dragon festival, which has continued to modern times.
It's a pity that 50 years ago, the dragon festival was canceled. The person who caused the disappearance of the dragon festival was the president of the Mano Mountain Tourism Association in front of him - Kadoda Choumatsu!
Fifty years ago, he made a big fuss about the dragon festival, causing the shrine to sink in the cherry blossom pond.
With this as the fuse, the people of Mano Mountain, who were already lacking in interest, simply canceled this activity, and the Jiaolong Festival became a huge sound.
The current Kadoda Choumatsu is trying so hard to revive Mano Mountain, probably to atone for his sins.
After leaving the association, the king asked, "Where do you want to go first?" ”
"It doesn't matter, I'll see it anyway."
Yayoi must first know enough about Mano Mountain, so that no reader will point at his nose and scold: "Do you have all the stunts in your manga?" There is no such scenario at all, liar! ”
How embarrassing that is!
"Then let's go to the shopping street first." The king decided.
……
There is not much distance between the shopping street and the association, and in less than 10 minutes, they are in the shopping street.
The commercial streets of Manoyama are no different from those in other places, with concrete roads and roller shutter doors. It's just a little different, many shops are closed, and there are very few people hanging out, which makes it seem very lonely.
The king explained: "There are so few tourists, and the young people of Manoyama have moved to the big cities, so this is what it is. ”
There is not much difference between the neon countryside and the countryside of China, and young people are eager to live in an international city like the imperial capital, so the countryside is mostly old people and children. Young people are the most important purchasing power, and without them, the commercial streets of Manoyama are gradually declining.
Coupled with the pursuit of large supermarkets, many people already like to go to the supermarket to buy the items they want, so the value of the commercial street has gradually disappeared.
Don't look at the commercial street is already so bleak, if it weren't for the fact that some people would open shops, but also because of habits and hobbies, the status quo would be even more declining.
"I would also think about what it looks like now." Yayoi lamented, "But this is also too desolate. ”
It is important to know that Mt. Mano is a tourist area.
After saying that, he reacted and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I ......"
"But that's the status quo." "At present, the number of tourists in Mano Mountain is only 30,000 per year, which means that there are less than 600 people a week on average. ”
After speaking, her eyes were full of gloom and sadness.
It was a foreigner who was invited to the second king of Mano Mountain at the invitation of the ugly pine; IT Minister Sanae was also not suitable for irregular and complicated IT work, so he specially went to the countryside to cultivate himself.
And UMA Minister Rin Rinko, although her home is a member of the shopping street, she has no special feelings for Mano Mountain, but will hate the remoteness of Mano Mountain;
Foreign Minister Maki had been working hard in Tokyo until his dream of being an actor was shattered, and he had to return to Mano Mountain.
Only Shiori, the minister of sticky bird glue, has been living in Mano Mountain, and after graduating, she also worked at the Tourism Association, and her love for her hometown is probably stronger than anyone else, because this place is full of her childhood!
