Chapter 13: Under the Moonlit Night
The sound of raindrops changed from a stirring drum beat to a sporadic beat, and the woods, dominated by night and rain, gradually became clear from a blur.
Staying in the back compartment of the truck, after eating all the bento boxes made by the girls, Gu Wu took the tea handed to him by Suinaiguo, and the slightly bitter taste eliminated the greasy feeling, which made people feel a lot more refreshed.
If you want to ask what is the best thing about this bento, it is probably an egg roll made by Nicole, maybe it is because of its simplicity that it is so good.
Of course, no matter how simple it is, it's also a pretty good experience to be able to eat their own cooking.
"The rain looks like it's going to stop soon."
"Is it okay if you don't go back? Ξs's dance training isn't done yet, is it? In addition, you have to add music such as taiko drums and shamisen from Tsukiro-cho folklore, and finally have a rehearsal. â
"If we don't even have the equipment ready, won't our efforts be useless?"
Honoka clenched his fists looked at the starry sky slowly emerging from the clouds.
"Not only dancing and singing, but everyone is also working hard in their respective positions, and as the captain, of course, I can't relax."
That's why she's here to make sure the stage equipment is ready and to see if she can help.
The bad road conditions caused by the rain and the broken down of the car have slowed down the goods that should have arrived in Tsukiro-cho for a long time, and it is expected to become busier and busier after that.
"In that case, let's move the other things out first, so that it will be easier to transfer them to the delivery vehicle at that time."
"Okay, actually, I have a lot of strength."
After packing up the bento box and teacups and placing them in the corner, Honoka walked to the inside of the carriage.
At least half of the rest of the goods remained, and many of the stacked boxes contained small parts and instructions, and in addition to fragile light bulbs.
Gu Wu saw Sui Naiguo start working, he didn't stay where he was and continue to taste the mellow aroma of the tea, but ran to Sui Naiguo's side and carried the half-human-high box with him.
This kind of box is generally not very heavy, and it is basically foam and shockproof pads in addition to the audio, which is quite easy to carry.
While the two of them were working, the truck driver in the cab also began to take out his tools and lift the front cover of the car.
The heavy rain that was pouring down just now basically stopped, and the rain-soaked ground and trees were filled with a damp smell, which lowered the temperature a lot.
"Ahh
Sui Naiguo stumbled because of sneezing, but was easily caught by Gu Wu on the way.
"I'll give you my coat."
"No, no!"
"I just got sweating from exercise."
"It's okay, if you exercise, it will heat up!"
This was true, but Gu Wu still took off his coat and continued to carry what looked heavier.
Soon the sound of the car's engine reappears, starting with Miss Wanderer's Beetle, followed by Mr. Ryotaro's minivan and a van.
"I called a helper."
Miss Yuko extinguishes her almost finished cigarette and points to the van behind Ryotaro.
"I said, don't you smoke anymore, do you? It's not good for health! â
"Shut up, you herbivore man."
"Huh? You can't take that as if you haven't heard it! â
Just as the two were about to start arguing, the van driver interjected into the conversation between them.
"Just transport these goods to Tsukigo-cho? Hurry up, I've got to go back and take care of my granddaughter. â
"Also, the work is not over yet!"
Mr. Ryotaro gave up the dispute with Miss Yuzi, and accompanied the van driver to move the goods that Gu Wu and Sui Naigo had moved near the door of the carriage to his own vehicle.
The truck driver, who was still fiddling with the engine, shook his head repeatedly, and wiped the sweat from his face with his hands, only to make his face dirtier with the oil.
"Miss Hikamura, I'm afraid this failure will require a professional."
"It's a little late now, call someone to come over tomorrow to fix it, and wait for the trouble for you and me to take the car to the B&B to rest."
"Okay, I don't want to keep tossing."
Because of the addition of a van with a larger capacity, the goods in the carriage are basically moved, and it is estimated that one car can handle it next time.
"Are you going to come up?"
Mr. Ryotaro and the van driver both had a seat there, but in order to ensure that the goods would not be taken away by wild animals, even if the probability was very low, Gu Wu still decided to wait here a little longer and go back after the next transportation was completed.
"Then I'm going to stay here too!"
"I don't understand you young people! Stay safe! â
Without continuing the nonsense, in order to save time, the three cars began to return along the same route.
Gu Wu and Sui Naiguo closed the door of the carriage and ran to the driver's seat to wait.
"It's the first time I've been in the driver's seat of a van."
"I'm pretty much the same."
"It's the first time for me and Mr. Gu Wu!"
"That's right...... It's just a little subtle. â
"Subtle?"
Sui Naiguo didn't realize what Gu Wu, who was a man, meant by 'subtle', so he fell into deep thought.
Gu Wugang wanted to stop her from thinking nonsense, but he heard a wonderful whimper like 'mmm~'.
"It's okay, just wait."
"Yes."
The lights in the car made Sui Naiguo's face look red, and Gu Wu smiled bitterly and opened the window to make the car cooler.
About fifteen minutes later, Ryotaro drove back to the place alone.
"Speed on board! The old driver is leaving! â
Hearing what the other party said, Sui Naiguo also responded.
"Wait, are you going to race cars?"
"It's not a race car, but it's a good place to go."
Gu Wu and Sui Naiguo, who were not locals, were both puzzled, and raised some interest in their hearts.
Since the minivan would be very crowded if it were to seat three people, this was not a good thing for a young girl.
The final result was that Gu Wu stayed on top of the body.
Although it is illegal, it will not be on the highway at the moment, and it will not be speeding, so there should be no problem.
Turn on the headlights, and the minivan, which no longer flashes red lights, starts moving forward under the drive of Ryotaro.
Walking slowly along the slightly rugged road, there would be a strong wind blowing overhead from time to time, so the shaking leaves sprinkled all the rain on Gu Wu's body, making his shirt wet a lot.
But this encounter was exchanged for a good experience.
Mr. Ryotaro drove to a flat hill next to a cliff, and if you look down from here, you can see the whole of Tsukiyumachi.
"You can't see this scene without rain, because the rain will raise the water level, and the normally exposed reef and part of the beach will be submerged, and the whole port will become round."
Ryotaro, who got out of the car, explained.
Standing near the edge, Gu Wu and Sui Naiguo looked down together.
The moon is reflected in the near-circular port, and the various districts of Tsukiza-cho are dotted like stars with lights on the side.
There is a starry sky overhead, and under your feet, there is also a starry sky, making people feel as if they are between heaven and earth.
"It's beautiful."
Sui Naiguo sighed.
"After the performance, let's take a look at it."
And then comes ......
"Ahh
Another sneeze, and this time Gu Wu put his coat over Sui Naiguo's body.
"That's not going to catch a cold."
"Thank you."
"Now is not the time to relax."
"Yes! Go for it! â
Gu Wu and Sui Naiguo raised their hands and high-fived, and Ryotaro, who was hanging aside, shrugged his shoulders and complained.
"I won't let you ride in the car next time!"
