Although the sparrow is small, it seems that this shrine is just an ordinary Jigen shrine, and it is probably the kind of place that is supported by that street in the place of "five steps and one shrine" in Kyoto City.

However, after passing through the entrance of the social affairs office, the small space inside a door next to it is about where Grandma sells things such as the omamori on weekdays, and then walk through a long corridor, but the room inside suddenly opens up.

As far as the eye can see, tatami mats, small tables, old clocks, shrines of mourning... and other things that are full of life occupy the whole space, and further on, outside the wooden doors that have been opened, there is a small and exquisite Japanese garden.

Although this small garden does not have the expensive potted trees of the Yoshioka family, nor does it have a pool or water, but instead there are two old clothes poles on which no clothes are hung, and a few pots of flowers under the fence are the most common.

However, the three of them sat on the eaves of the courtyard under the guidance of their grandmother, and suddenly felt a quiet atmosphere that belonged to life.

"Ah~It's so comfortable~" Kyoko Fukada also subconsciously sighed.

She opened her hands, wanting to embrace the beautiful atmosphere, but the space was crowded enough, and her raised hand hit the water hayato next to her.

"Oops, don't do radio gymnastics when it's so small here, come on, squeeze squeeze." Mizumi Hayato moved his ass and squeezed towards the two of them.

Kyoko Fukada's soft body was squeezed, and she could only cling to Masami Nagasawa's body.

"What are you doing when you dislike it?" Grandma came over with a snack and knocked on the head of the water Hayato: "Sit down, I haven't sat down yet." ”

After speaking, she sat down on the other side of Masami Nagasawa, and then with a smile on her face, she handed the small snack to the two girls with a smile: "Come, eat a snack." ”

Just like a country grandmother who often pulls candy out of her pocket when she sees you and then looks at you expectantly, Kyoko Fukada and the others are embarrassed not to follow.

But to their surprise, the taste of those two small snacks was extremely delicious, which made their eyes shine.

"Wow, that's delicious!" "Did you make it yourself, grandma?"

"Mmmm~" Grandma nodded with a smile, and then chatted with the two girls.

Maybe it's because of the environment, maybe it's because the grandma herself is affinity strong enough, in a few words, Kyoko Fukada and the others chatted with the grandma.

Mizumi Hayato just teased the trouble of having fun in the courtyard from time to time, and interjected from time to time.

"Oh! It turns out that your surname is Gong Shui! The water Hayato was suddenly surprised: "Then do you have a granddaughter named Sanye?" ”

"What?" Grandma Gongshui was stunned for a moment.

"It's the kind of high school granddaughter who helps out as a shrine maiden at this shrine after school!" Mizuto said, "Then we do the Kagura dance during the festival, and then make a chewing sake at the end..."

"How could it be!" Grandma Miyasui couldn't help but interrupt: "My granddaughter is already married, and in Tokyo, there will be no shrine maidens in our small shrine, Kagura... And what do you want to do with chewing wine? ”

"What is chewing wine?" Masami Nagasawa asked.

"It's the kind of sake that is made by cute shrine maidens chewing glutinous rice and spitting it into a bottle." Mizumi Hayato introduced.

"Huh~~~" Masami Nagasawa subconsciously showed a disgusted expression.

Kyoko Fukada remembered the three sets of witch costumes that she had damaged by Mizumi Hayato, and she was a little eager to try: "Hayato, do you want to drink?" ”

"Kyoko !!" Masami Nagasawa pulled Kyoko Fukada in shock.

"No, I'm just asking..."Kyoko Fukada used her silly white sweet eyes and blinked at Masami Nagasawa with big innocent eyes.

However, the topic of "chewing wine" did not continue, because the sky opposite suddenly flashed, accompanied by an explosion, several people looked at the sky at the same time, and a brilliant fireworks were blooming.

"Wow!" "Wang!" After a few exclamations, the noise seemed to be startled, and threw himself into the arms of the water falcon with a scream.

The valley was filled with the sound of fireworks rising into the air, and the exclamation of the crowd on the opposite hillside could be faintly heard, and the small courtyard of the shrine was bustling with dogs, applause, and the kind laughter of grandmothers.

...

When they meet, they must part, and although they are reluctant, they always have to say goodbye to Grandma Gongshui.

"Okay, okay, let's go, I'm sleeping at this time." Grandma Gongshui didn't see the sadness on her face, but just urged them to leave.

Of course, her urging was always only addressed to the water Hayato.

"Okay, grandma, you should pay attention to your body when you live by yourself." Mizumi Hayato said.

"Got it, I've been used to it for a long time, and I still use you kid?" Grandma Gongshui said in disgust.

After a moment of silence, she spoke again: "Don't attack like this next time, just say it in advance, I'll prepare the best snacks for you to see if the old woman is still old!" ”

I didn't see a retention in the words, but I was already looking forward to the next meeting, so why not be a kind of retention.

"And! No one is allowed! She looked at the two little girls who were getting along well, and they were still holding the gifts she had found in their chests.

"No problem." The water falcon patted his chest and said, "I'll bring eight next time." ”

“？” The three of them looked at him at the same time, and the meaning in their eyes was self-evident.

...

Although the fireworks festival did not develop as Masami Nagasawa expected, such a warm night still made her feel happy.

It's like... The feeling of family.

"Wow! omamori, sweets, and this is... Beret! Kyoko Fukada's tone was full of surprise, she took out the snow-white beret, put it on her head eagerly, and turned her head to look at Masami Nagasawa.

"Sesame sauce sesame sauce, look." She shows Masami Nagasawa the gift she has received.

"Oh, it's pretty!" Masami Nagasawa nodded.

"What did you receive?"

"Hmm... Let me see. Masami Nagasawa opened her box and saw at a glance the same omamori as Kyoko Fukada, pastries and other things, in addition, a red scarf.

"This scarf... Grandma knitted it herself, right? She unfolded it and looked at it carefully.

"Huh? Really? Then I..."Kyoko Fukada took off her beret, "It's not like something I can knit." ”

"It may be that her granddaughter has always occupied a place in the house, so she gave it to you." Mizumi Hayato, who was driving, chimed in.

Kyoko Fukada looked at him speechlessly.

"Grandma wouldn't be like that!" Masami Nagasawa also helped to speak.

"I can't see it clearly in the car, let's take a good look when I get back to the hotel." Masami Nagasawa said to Kyoko Fukada.

"Well, go to my room and help me see what clothes to wear by the way~" Kyoko Fukada said.
