Chapter 210: Summer (12)
It was dark, and last night it was as starry as day, but today I can't even see the moon, as if I had retreated for the sake of the fire that had been burning on the mountain.
There was a bridge over the Kamogawa River, and there were only three figures in black kimonos, and even though the riverbank was crowded, they were all stopped outside the bridge.
"Oh yes...... I didn't think Yu-san would really wear this kimono," Imadegawa's mother glanced at Imadegawa Chisaka in surprise when she saw Narumi Yu wearing a black pattern, and then commented on him, "It's a bit of a look, and if you just look at your appearance, you can hold up this kimono." ”
Imadegawa's mother also wears a black kimono, which is the same as the one on Narumi's body, with five Imadegawa family crests printed on it.
Except for the difference between men and women, the only difference is that there is a white maple leaf below the waistband.
"He doesn't know anything about kimonos, so naturally he won't have any concerns, I told my mother before ordering it." The black-bottomed kimono on Imadegawa Chisaka's body has many more patterns than the kimono worn by Imadegawa Jin.
"Ahh......h I'm sorry. Imadegawa Jin covered her mouth and smiled, and finally stopped to explain to Narumi Yu.
He wore a black kimono, the highest type of kimono, and was generally only worn by the head of the family on important occasions such as funerals.
Imadegawa Jin wears black sleeves, which is the most qualified kimono for a married woman. Imadegawa Chisaka wears a black bottom with a mid-sleeve, which is mainly worn by unmarried women.
All are formal ceremonial kimonos.
After listening to the introduction, Narumi Yu had the idea of taking off his kimono on the spot, and after hesitating for a long time, he silently suppressed it.
When Izumi was out of the Kawa family, he was still a little laid-back, thinking that it would be just a slightly more formal celebration. After I came, I found that I was unknowingly bound to Imadegawa's house.
At eight o'clock, the fire of the five mountains started on time, igniting the big text on the Ruyi Mountain of Dongshan.
At first glance, it looked spectacular, but after looking at it for a long time, he couldn't help but think about how much wood had to be burned in the more than fifty fire beds that made up one Chinese character.
Finally, I was bored to observe the Imadegawa Chisaka beside me.
A beautiful girl-supmo-sama in a black Shin-sleeved kimono stands motionless, her eyes reflecting the fire, and her flawless cheeks reflecting the silhouette.
It's as beautiful as a life-height doll.
He stared at the doll, and saw Imadegawa Chisaka blinking, giving up the fantasy of "a beautiful girl becoming a doll", and turning his head to see the reflection on the surface of the Kamogawa River.
Five minutes after the large text was lit, there was the character "myo" of Matsuzaki Nishiyama and the character "law" of Matsuzaki Higashiyama, and finally the boat-shaped pattern of Nishigamo funayama.
For the bustling crowd under the bridge, it was a half-hour celebration of the Five Mountains Fire.
But Narumi Yu felt that he had been standing in the firelight for nearly half an hour.
Imadegawa Jin and Imadegawa Chisaka don't speak, and it's not convenient for him to speak.
This day is ultimately Obon, and for the Imadegawa mother and daughter, it is a day to commemorate the passing of one of the most important men in their lives.
The wood used to build the fire bed burned out, the light of the fire gradually dimmed, and the flow of people gradually decreased.
"It's eight forty now," Imadegawa Jin returned to her usual gentle appearance, and looked at Yu Narumi and Chisaka Imadegawa with a smile, "Are you going to go shopping for the festival?" ”
"Yousang said that he wanted to go to the Yuedu Bridge to put on the lights." Imadegawa Chisaka glanced at him and said mockingly.
"Put the lights on...... It's a good idea, but I don't know if it's too late to get there. Imadegawa Jin clapped his hands, showing some interest, but he didn't think it was inappropriate, "Xiao Qiansaka and Xiao You put a lamp on each to see whose lamp floats farther." ”
"No," Narumi shook and said with a smile, "I just stood on the bridge, thinking about a lot of things, and I felt that I was too unworried to understand the kimono. It's Obon, so I should pray for my parents, but I just want to have fun with the lights. ”
"That's why we have to put the lights on." Imadegawa Jin's expression became more serious, and the three of them chatted while walking off the bridge and walking on the bank of the Kamogawa River, "Send the prayers to your parents with the flowing lantern, maybe they can receive them on the other side." ”
"Then according to my mother-in-law's words, let's go to the Yuedu Bridge and have a look." Narumi responded leisurely and looked at Imadegawa Chisaka.
The girl withdrew her gaze from Kamogawa and nodded.
"Hmm."
