Chapter 211: Summer (End)
By the time the three of them arrived at the Togetsu Bridge, most of the people on the street had dispersed, and it seemed a little cold compared to the flowing water lanterns all over the water surface of the Katsura River.
Imadegawa Jin bought three lanterns with great interest and gave them them along with the pen.
Narumi wrote the names of his parents on the lamp and carefully held it into the water, where he saw it drift away with thousands of lanterns.
There is a rickshaw on the Togetsu Bridge, and Imadegawa Jin beckoned his daughter to be with Narumi Yu, but he was rejected twice and had to sit alone.
Narumi followed Imadegawa Chisaka to the street and browsed the souvenir shop.
Shimizu porcelain, Kyoto knives, wrapping towels, oil-paper umbrellas, and more common amulets, omamori, and lanterns are also common.
There are tea fruits, Jinping sugar, and pear cakes...... There are many variety.
Narumi Yu saw that there was a bamboo tea set, and took advantage of the gap between Imadegawa Chisaka to choose a talisman, and gave the merchant Yayoi Akizao's apartment address and bought a set to send it.
Then I went to buy a wrap towel and delivered it to Shiina's house.
After buying it, I felt sorry for Imadegawa Chisaka, and picked a white oil-paper umbrella to go back.
"What do you do when you buy an umbrella?" Imadegawa Chisaka took it, looked at it and asked.
"When it rains, you can play an oil-paper umbrella, which is more beautiful than a plastic umbrella."
"No, I don't." Imadegawa Chisaka sighed helplessly, although he said so, he didn't throw the umbrella to Narumi Yu, and always held it himself.
"It's rare to come to Kyoto once, and I always have to buy something."
"You're not the one to have that kind of boring complex." Imadegawa Chisaka's tone was a little colder.
Narumi was stunned for a moment, feeling that the girl's tone was very familiar, and her heartbeat accelerated a little, "Chisaka-san's ability in dreams is still there?" β
"Judging from your previous memories, a person's personality is not so easy to change." Imadegawa Chisaka didn't want to bother to say more, so he frowned and asked him, "So, what did you just do?" β
"I've gone shopping for Qingshui porcelain and bamboo utensils, I haven't seen those before." Narumi Yu listened to Imadegawa Chisaka's words, calmed down a little, and said with a smile, feeling weak for a while.
"......" Imadegawa Chisaka looked him up and down, then turned his head to continue to look at the omamori at the stall, "My mother likes to buy those, and it is useless to put them in the cabinet as decorations." β
"After all, it's a souvenir, so when it is furnished, it can be regarded as playing part of its value......
"If it were you, would you be willing to do the decorations?"
"People are not things, if you can also worry about food and clothing when you are furnishings, I can't think about it."
ββ¦β¦β
Imadegawa Chisaka ignored him no more.
Narumi wanted to open his mouth to continue defending his thoughts, but he saw a black cat embroidered on the stall, which was very similar to the one that Miyaji carried in the dream of the child.
So he bought it and took it with him.
The omamori bought by Imadegawa Chisaka is very ordinary, with the words "Ankang Gomori" embroidered on the front and a cherry blossom pattern on the back.
After experiencing the rickshaw, Imadegawa Jin walked over leisurely and waved at them from afar, "Xiao You, Xiao Chisaka~!" Here and here~! β
It's like beckoning a child home.
Imadegawa Chisaka went over and gave the oil-paper umbrella and the omamori he had just bought to Imadegawa Jin, "The umbrella was given by Narumi-san." β
"Oh yes...... Xiao Yu has a heart. Imadegawa Jin took it with a smile, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, he opened the umbrella steadily, turned around in place with the umbrella, and asked Narumi Youdao, "Is it beautiful?" β
"Pretty." Yu Narumi is telling the truth.
The umbrella is the backdrop, and the key is the person. Imadegawa Jin and Chisaka are mother and daughter, even though they are in their thirties. The appearance is still called a country and a city.
So the two of them accompanied Imadegawa Jin for a walk around and tasted pear cakes and raw Hachihashi.
The main thing is to let Narumi taste it, both of them have eaten it and it tastes better.
Before, Imadegawa Jin heard Imadegawa Chisaka mention Narumi Yu's cooking skills, and asked him with a smile, "I don't know if I will have the opportunity to eat the pear cake made by Koyu in the future." β
Walking around until Imadegawa Jin yawned, the three of them got into the car and went back.
By the time Imadegawa Chisaka finished soaking in the hot springs, he buried his body in the water, and it was already midnight.
Before he could squint his eyes and relax, he suddenly heard the voice of Chisaka Imadegawa coming from inside the partition, "Remember to bring your kimono back to Tokyo." β
"You're not gone yet?" Narumi was startled, thinking she was going to come in.
ββ¦β¦ I don't have any interest in soaking in the hot springs with you, but I have something to say, and my mother is there most of the time. β
"It's a pity." He sighed inside.
"Ahhh......h Narumi-san's clothes seem to be in the closet, so I want to wash them for you......"
"Don't!" Narumi Yu hurriedly said, "It's a pity that I only spend less time with you. β
"Huh...... There are two weeks left before the start of school, and there is time for you to stay with me. "Mother set the engagement date for Christmas, and before that, you have to learn a lot of boring and useless knowledge. β
"Christmas? Wait a minute...... Betrothal? Although Imadegawa Chisaka mentioned the words of "engagement" and "fiancΓ©e" a few times, he just thought that he was too lazy to explain their relationship to others as a girl.
At this time, I suddenly heard Imadegawa Chisaka seriously say the exact date, and I was surprised to get up in the hot spring, and there was a splash of water.
"Didn't I say that I would give you a chance......" Imadegawa Chisaka's tone was a little pleasant, even with a hint of schadenfreude, "After returning to Tokyo, I will learn communication etiquette and dance first; Observe the meeting every day and get to know more about the executive ...... Mother will probably teach you how to arrange flowers. β
"How long have you been studying these Chisaka-san?"
"Let's grow up."
ββ¦β¦β
"But I'm not interested in them, and I don't actually spend much time on them."
"That's ......" Narumi Yu glanced in the direction of the partition and took a deep breath when she saw the girl's shadow reflected on the partition in the light, "I'll learn it by heart." β
"Not really...... Basic etiquette is fine, but my mother doesn't think so. β
"Listen to Chisaka-san."
ββ¦β¦β
β¦β¦
By the time Narumi walked out of the hot springs and put on his clothes, the lights in Imadegawa Chisaka's room had been turned off.
The word "engagement" uttered by Chisaka Imadegawa himself has always lingered in his heart, and he stayed up all night.
It turned out that after coming out of a dream and being discharged from the hospital, the change in Imadegawa Chisaka's attitude towards him was not a temptation......
Maybe he really regarded him as a "lover".
The opportunity he talked about at the beginning was not to agree to associate with him, but to tell him in another way that he had to bear the weight of responsibility while associating with Miss Imadegawa.
