Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Celebration Banquet or something
In the early morning of the second day after the end of the festival, on the steps of the shrine on the mountainside by the sea, Mitsumura Yuko was sweeping the dust, fallen leaves, and few food scraps from the stone steps with a broom.
Since the sun had not yet fully risen over the other side of the horizon, the light that illuminated the earth had not yet fallen, and in this slightly dim environment, the wanderer still cleaned all the stairs, even the gravel in the corners was found and swept out.
After making sure that there was no garbage in his location, the wanderer with his sleeves rolled up began to take a step, and at the same time carried the dustpan and the trash can to the steps above.
It is true that the Fengyue Festival has ended, but the garbage left behind has to be cleaned up slowly; For example, all the equipment that you used yesterday and the rented equipment will be put back in their corresponding places.
Turning around and looking down, the wanderer could clearly see the stage below where the concert had been held last night.
The stage has not been dismantled at the moment, because the trucks in Tsukigakudo Town are all used, and when they are vacated, the wanderer will ask someone to disassemble them and load them in the trucks and transport them back, so that they can save a lot of money.
Let's keep cleaning...... This reminds her wanderer to get back to work, this is what she asks to do.
Although it was used by my father before, "Since you're back, let's entertain you idiot!" It's time to 'teach', but the wanderer belongs to the kind of people who can't be still.
Yuko had been working for a few days before returning to Tsukigakumachi, and she believed that work could realize her value and prove her ability.
If she grows old one day, the wanderer thinks, she actually has an answer in her heart.
Even if she is an old self, the wanderer doesn't think that she will stop somewhere and wait for others to take care of her, after all, there are many, many things to do in her heart.
But now that she has become an adult, the wanderer also knows how to distinguish between 'dreams' and 'delusions', and her most annoying behavior is daydreaming.
It's just that such ideas can occasionally seem naΓ―ve, and the wanderer himself understands this.
And if you want to do too much, you can't focus on one thing, and it's hard to be the best at something.
In this way, he is just a mortal, and the wanderer knows this in his heart.
Thinking and working at the same time, the cleaning task was quickly completed, and the wanderer, who felt a sore arm, passed through the torii gate of the shrine, and she planned to go to the faucet at the back of the shrine to wash her face and make herself more energetic.
You must know that I was busy until late at night last night, and the feeling of sleepiness hitting me was like a demon whispering in my ear, and it was really hateful that I couldn't focus on the work in front of me.
"Yo, wanderer, have you done it? It's pretty much the same on my side. β
Cleaning the shrine and the people near the shrine is not just a wanderer.,There's also her childhood sweetheart Ryotaro.,The full name is Ryotaro Onishi.,In the eyes of the wanderer, he's a stupid guy who doesn't grow up.γ
At this moment, Ryotaro is carrying the wooden ladder, and his job is to clean up all the cobwebs around the eaves of the shrine, and judging from his current situation, most of the work is over.
The wanderer who was called nodded, and she watched as Ryotaro lowered the ladder and pulled out a box of cigarettes from his pocket.
Half of the cigarettes I bought yesterday are gone today, and it seems that I have to try to reduce the amount of cigarettes I smoke.
But...... Wanderers love the feeling of smoking, which can make people feel relaxed.
Even if you know that smoking is harmful to your health, you still can't stop it, and it's stupid to think about it.
He took a cigarette from his cigarette case, and before he could light it, he saw Ryotaro rush towards him and snatch her cigarette case and lighter.
"If you smoke too much, you'll get wrinkles, and don't smoke in the morning, the smell of cigarettes makes people very disliked."
"Don't worry, every time I finish smoking, I will brush my teeth and take a shower seriously."
This is also one of the beliefs of the wanderer, as a smoker, she actually hates the smell of smoke left on her body and in her mouth, so she has always been very careful.
Hearing the wanderer's promise, Ryotaro still put the cigarette and lighter in his pocket.
The wanderer, who didn't smoke a cigarette, frowned unhappily when she saw it, and she stretched out her hands to snatch her belongings back while closing the distance between her and Ryotaro.
"Stupid Ryotaro! Your current behavior is robbery! β
"It's not that exaggerated!!"
The wanderer held out his hand, and Ryotaro zipped up the pocket where the cigarette was placed while holding it against the wanderer.
The wanderer, who had snatched many times to no avail, snorted, and she looked at Ryotaro with unhappy eyes, and finally walked towards the faucet at the back of the shrine.
"I'm here for your own good."
"Ryotaro, we're not the kids we used to be."
The wanderer, who used this sentence as a rebuttal, suddenly looked at Ryotaro, and she remembered her previous experience.
Because Ryotaro had a timid relationship when he was a child, it was basically a young wanderer who took the lead, but now it's completely different......
Recalling the time when he snatched the cigarette just now, Yuzi found that he had no strength at all, and he couldn't snatch the cigarette from Ryotaro's hand at all.
It's not the past......
"What are you looking at me?! Do I have cobwebs on my face! Right! Tell me sooner!! β
Misunderstood, Ryotaro begins to slap his body with a towel, intending to take pictures of spiders and cobwebs that shouldn't have existed.
The wanderer replaced his answer with silence, leaving Ryotaro who was stupid there and went to rush in the face.
When the work of the two men was over, the morning light of the morning sun was scattered on the earth in a little mist, and everything gradually became warm as if it had been revived.
Ryotaro, who was alone carrying tools, opened his mouth to complain.
"Why am I alone?"
"Who stole my stuff just now?"
"It's for your good."
"I don't need your concern."
"Really...... Speaking of which, how often do you go back? No, how long is it to leave? β
There is always a time when a wanderer who works in another city will go back, and the wanderer who was asked thought about it.
"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"Then it's time to participate in the celebration banquet, starting at noon today, I have to call Gu Wu and them over at that time."
"Whatever you want."
"By the way, wanderer, if you go back to work, will you live alone? Or live with your fiancΓ©? β
That's it......
The wanderer sighed.
"That guy just called the stubborn old man without permission and said that he wanted to marry me, but in fact he was just a boyfriend, because he was busy with work, and he even counted the number of times he held hands on one hand...... Dating or something, it's really still a very troublesome thing. β
"Yes......"
"So we're about to break up."
"Sounds so casual."
Really? The wanderer was not very interested in this topic.
"It's good to be free again, what's wrong with you idiot? Have a girlfriend...... Wrong, wrong, did you talk to the opposite sex? Except for me. β
"Hey! You look down on people too much, don't you? β
As in the past, neither of them gave in, but they didn't feel annoying......
