Chapter 222: Sky Tree
Coming to the ticket counter on the fourth floor of the Sky Tree, Naruse took a look and bought three sets of combo tickets.
Naoko and Starfish stood aside and waited, and they were all stunned when they saw him take out a 10,000 yen bill and continue to take out the money.
After he bought the ticket, Naoko asked, "How much does it cost?" β
"It costs more than 2,000 yen to get to the 350-meter Tembo Deck, and then to the 450-meter Tembo Corridor, it costs another 2,000 yen. I bought a combo ticket directly here, and I saved myself from queuing up again. β
"It's so expensive......"
Starfish staggered.
"If there are three people, it will cost more than 12,000 yen."
"It's about the same at an altitude of three hundred and fifty meters." Naoko said.
"If you come at night, there is really no difference between 350 meters and 450 meters."
Naruse stuffed the combination ticket into the hands of the two, "But it's not dark yet, and if you stand taller, you can see a more shocking view - the weather is so good today, maybe you can see Mt. Fuji." β
"Okay."
With their tickets in hand, the three of them lined up to get on the elevator.
Before entering the elevator, the staff asked Naoko and Starfish to open the bags in their hands, but they only checked it a little before letting them go.
When the elevator doors closed, Starfish lowered her head and rearranged the contents of the bag.
"It's all messed up......"
Naruse watched from the side, "I'm afraid you're carrying a bomb up, so I'll have to check it." β
ββ¦β¦β
She glared at him, then asked after a while, "Isn't that kidding?" β
"What do you think?"
The elevator started quickly, and the speed was extremely fast, and the feeling of overweight was particularly strong.
The electronic screen above the elevator door shows the height at this time.
100 meters......
200 meters......
300 meters......
In less than a minute, the height of three hundred and fifty meters was instantaneous, and the elevator stopped.
The three of them stepped out of the elevator, and outside was the Tianwang Deck.
ββ¦β¦β
Walking in front of the glass and facing the setting sun, even though it is not the first time he has come up, Naruse will still be shocked by the sight in front of him.
The dense array of buildings and roads that make up Japan's most prosperous city is all in full view.
The rows of high-rise buildings look like architectural models from special effects films at this height, as if they will fall down if you push them.
"It's amazing......"
Naoko lay in front of the glass and muttered, "I used to stand here and look so far away." β
The starfish next to him didn't blink at all, and the expression on his face was the same, "Those tall buildings look like toys." β
Looking along the Sumida River, from far and near, Naruse raised his hand:
"That's the bridge we just walked over."
Both of them looked over as well.
"You can see Sensoji Temple from here, too."
"Ah, that's a five-storied pagoda...... The green place further afield......"
"It's Ueno Park." Naruse said.
Starfish tiptoed, "Can you see Yoyogi Park here?" β
ββ¦β¦ No. β
She was a little disappointed.
Looking away again, she suddenly narrowed her eyes and frowned.
"That golden ...... Is it poop. β
ββ¦β¦ It's the Asahi Group's 'Golden Flame'. β
"Wow......"
After looking at the window with the naked eye for a while, the starfish noticed the electron telescope next to it, and tried it and found that there was no telescopic effect, only to find that it was charged.
Naruse stuffed two coins, "Let's try again." β
"What does this countdown mean?"
"Even 200 yen can only be seen for more than a minute."
ββ¦β¦β
The starfish immediately approached and fiddled with the telescope.
In addition to the telescope's own display, there is also a larger screen next to it, and Naruse and Naoko watch as she searches for something everywhere.
"Look, Tokyo Towerβ"
Ten kilometers away, Tokyo Tower, with the electronic telescope lowered, is also clearly displayed on the screen.
"If you weren't so tired yesterday, if you go to Roppongi Hill at night, you can see Tokyo Tower more clearly with the naked eye." Naruse said.
Naoko looked at him, "Let's go next time." β
"Hmm, I'd like to think about the right ...... one day."
After looking at Tokyo Tower, Starfish continued to look into the distance, as if looking for something.
The camera swayed, and Naruse looked a little dizzy, "You can't be looking for Yoyogi Park, right?" β
"Isn't it over here?"
ββ¦β¦ It's more than 90 degrees crooked. β
"Ahh
Naruse helped her adjust to the general direction.
"I don't see how much you like Yoyogi Park."
"Because your home is there." Starfish said casually.
ββ¦β¦β
"Ah, no...... I mean, if you can see Yoyogi Park, you might be able to see your house as well......"
Naruse didn't speak, stared at the screen for a while, and shook his head again.
"No, that large area of high-rise buildings blocks the view."
"Okay."
There was not much time left to buy it for 200 yen.
After continuing to look out in front of the glass for a while, the three of them prepared to continue upwards to the 450-meter Tianwang Corridor.
On the way, he meets the mascot of the Sky Tree with the head of the star, and Naruse takes a photo of Naoko and the starfish.
After standing in line for a while, getting on the elevator, the height of a hundred meters was quickly reached.
Dingββ
Coming out of the elevator, perhaps the psychological expectation brought by the 2,000 yen fare was too high, and the height increase of 100 meters did not bring a stronger visual impact.
"Hmm...... You can see farther, don't you? β
"Chunhai said yes."
"Look, Mt. Fuji."
"Wow."
Along the 110-meter Tianwang corridor that surrounds the tower, the three of them took pictures as they walked, and stopped at the side with their backs to the setting sun.
As the sun sets, the shadow of the tower falls to the ground and gradually lengthens.
Naruse looked at it for a moment and took a picture of the shadow.
"The first time I climbed the Skytree, it was a sunny afternoon. At this height, I saw a cloud drifting in from afar, and a clear and huge shadow slowly moved on the ground, swallowing part of it in front and releasing part of it in the back, the largest city in Japan, like a circuit board that had been splashed with ink......"
"At that time, Harumi said that it was the first time he felt so small." Naoko said.
He looked at her, and she smiled.
"Now, I feel the same way. But with Chunhai by my side, it doesn't seem to matter that much...... Everyone is the same. β
Naruse smiled as well, looking into the distance.
"I think so too."
Starfish stared at the screen, but the camera was on the two of them, and the starfish held up the phone and looked at it for a while, then put it down again.
After staying at an altitude of 450 meters until the sun sets, the trio returned to the Tembo Deck and enjoyed the night view of Tokyo as night rose.
After staying for nearly half an hour, Naruse put away his phone.
"Let's go down."
"Good ......"
"Don't you want to?"
"No......"
Naoko smiled and thought about it again, "There is a feeling that I can't describe. β
"Is this what it feels like to return from heaven to earth, from looking down on all beings, to being looked down on, and then to being looked down on?"
"Hmm...... It seems so. β
Starfish looked at the two of them, "I just feel hungry." β
"Didn't you buy a lot of Tokyo souvenirs?"
"That's going back to eat."
Naruse sighed, "Let's line up." β
After waiting for a while, getting into the elevator, the three of them returned to the ground and walked around the mall below.
"There are a lot of restaurants here, do you want to have dinner here?"
"Under the Sky Tree, the price must be very expensive."
"Let's see."
As they walked, Song Qianqiu suddenly sent a message, saying that he was ready to come back, and asked them if they had gone home.
Naruse: [Positioning]
Naruse: It's still in the Sky Tree.
Mom: OK, you guys wait over there, I'll pick you up.
Naruse: Won't you take a detour?
Mom: I can't get around too much, just wait.
Naruse: Okay.
Put away her phone and tell Naoko and Starfish about it, and both of them are happy.
"Okay, let's go home."
After waiting for a while, Song Qianqiu sent another message, asking them to wait on another nearby road, saving them more detours under the Sky Tree.
Naruse looked at the map.
"Let's go."
Walking to her designated location, the three of them waited for about ten more minutes, and Miss Sato came in a car.
Matsu Chiaki sat in the back, and Naruse also sat in the co-pilot's seat, letting Naoko and Starfish sit with her.
"Well, it's amazing to see Tokyo from the Skytree."
"Uh-huh."
"When I retired, I didn't even have this tower. Back in Tokyo, I didn't expect Tokyo Tower to be the tallest tower anymore! Ah, in an instant, there is a feeling that things are wrong, and sure enough, time waits for no one......"
"Haha......"
Song Qianqiu looked at the harvest of the two girls after a day of shopping, "Naoko and Starfish have bought a lot of things." β
"It's all a souvenir for everyone."
"Do you have my share?"
"Ah......h
Naruse glanced back, "Aren't you staying in Tokyo every day?" β
"Mom wants to receive a gift, too."
He turned back again, "I'll bring it to you tomorrow." β
"Okay. Where is Harumi going to take Naoko and Starfish tomorrow? β
"Kamakura." Naoko said.
"Ah, are you going to Enoshima?"
Starfish nodded, "Uh-huh." β
"You can also stop by Yokohama." Song Qianqiu said.
"We'll talk about it tomorrow." Naruse touched his stomach, "What are you going to eat at night, we haven't eaten yet." β
"Then let's just eat outside."
"Okay."
Two chapters in the morning, plus more at noon.
The manuscript that I saved for a week is big again.γγ I really want to hang out
