264. Summer Festival
[August 27th]
Kyushu Makoto opened the calendar, and it was already this time.
In the past few days, he is still spending his daily life of part-time work and rest.
Miyamoto Aki invited him to a sparring match two days ago, and both of them enjoyed sparring with each other. Makoto Kyushu has developed a lot of insights into kendo, and has been able to integrate some of the advantages of kendo into his martial arts. Akira Miyamoto also said that he had learned something from the battle with Makoto Kyushu, and that he was getting closer and closer to the goal of "Juggernaut".
As for Nan Hehui, Makoto Kyushu also observed his practice progress and reminded him of both hands. Although he is a mediocre talent, as long as he has the heart to learn, he must have a promising future.
In addition, since the last time she invited Kyushu Cheng to her home, Xiao Jing has gradually become bolder, and she has invited Kyushu Cheng to her house to play a few times, basically watching movies and playing entertainment-oriented online games.
Kyushu Cheng could sense that Xiaojing had become more and more cheerful, which made his hanging heart gradually let go.
Before you know it, there is not much left of the summer vacation.
Tomorrow is August 28th, which is this year's Obon.
In the past few days, the streets of Tokyo have become much colder, and many shops where he works have told him that he will not be able to go to work these days.
Obon and Yanhuang's Chuen Festival are the same day, but they are more similar to the Chyeongseong Festival.
According to tradition, people return to their hometowns to visit the graves and pay respects to their deceased relatives and ancestors. Gradually, however, the festival evolved into a celebration of living friends and family, similar to the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Lantern Festival.
The days before and after Obon are official holidays, and every year during this time, Tokyo's urban population plummets, many shops close their doors, and people run to their hometowns as if they were traveling for the Spring Festival.
In addition, there is a grand temple festival with traditional dance performances, lantern parades, night markets, and the most classic fireworks display.
What Makoto Kyushu will be attending tomorrow is the biggest festival in Tokyo.
The original "Makoto Kyushu" also went to it a few times when he was a child, and in his memory, the original body liked this lively celebration very much. It was only then, surrounded by a happy crowd of people and immersed in laughter, that he could briefly forget his terrible family and bad life.
However, for Chen Jiuzhou, this is the first time he has participated in the traditional activities of this country of Wano.
In the past few days, Yuhito Suzuki, who is the most motivated, has sent the event poster to Makoto Kyushu and others. Makoto Kyushu also informed Mizuhashi and Yagawa, and they both said that they would find time to play together, and they would also change into beautiful holiday yukatas.
In addition, Kyushu Makoto also asked Xiaojing and planned to invite her to go with him.
As an international student, Xiaojing doesn't make any friends on weekdays, and he doesn't like to go out. If she hadn't sent out an invitation, she wouldn't have gone out and would have been ready to spend the whole day at home alone.
It's rare to come to Wano Country to study, so it's good to experience this traditional festival a little.
Makoto Kyushu's invitation quickly got her reply:
"Ah, if Brother Cheng invites me, I will definitely come! But I don't have a bathrobe. There's no shame on you, right? ”
"It doesn't matter, it's not possible for everyone to wear their traditional bathrobes for this kind of memorial service, just wear ordinary clothes." Kyushu replied.
"Then I'll come with me, thank you, Brother Cheng!" Xiao Jing hurriedly said.
On the evening of July 28, Kyushu Cheng went out with Xiaojing and went to the subway station where everyone agreed to meet.
Makoto Kyushu and Kokei wore their daily clothes, but as the two of them approached the commercial area where the festival was held, there were more young people wearing kimonos and bathrobes around, and there were many tourists who came to attend the event at a glance.
Sitting on a slow-moving train, Makoto Kyushu saw the streets outside his window lit up with colorful lanterns swaying in the wind, rendering the summer night into a colorful painting. The streets are even more noisy, with crowds of people walking towards the city like pilgrims.
"It's so lively." Xiaojing was lying on the window of the train, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window with his eyes shining, and his pupils constantly reflected the colored streamers outside the window.
"You're here for the first time, aren't you?" Kyushu asked.
"Hmm." Xiao Jing admitted a little ashamedly: "Last year. I didn't come. ”
"Then let's have fun this year." Makoto Kyushu said: "I still have a few classmates over there, you can get to know each other." ”
"Hmm!"
Makoto Kyushu was the first to come to the subway station. Many tourists walked past him one after another to the event venue.
Many people are wearing festive bathrobes, holding fans and handbags, looking dignified and elegant. Women's bathrobes are generally decorated with bright colors and decorated with flowers, birds, fish and insects. Men's bathrobes are dominated by dark tones of black, gray, and navy blue, and there are few patterns, all of which tend to be simple.
"Hey! Kyushu-san! Yuhito Suzuki was the first to arrive, wearing what he probably thought was the most handsome set of everyday casual clothes, and the yellow hair was also taken care of, as if he had specially sprayed men's perfume.
After seeing the small scene next to Makoto Kyushu, Yuhito Suzuki was stunned for a moment and asked, "That. Kyushu-san, who is this girl? ”
"My neighbor." Makoto Kyushu said naturally.
Xiaojing also plucked up the courage and took the initiative to step forward to introduce himself: "You, hello, fortunately!" I am Brother Cheng's neighbor, and I am an international student from Yanhuang. My name is Zuo Jingtang, you can call me Jingzi, and I am currently a sophomore in the private Xingguangguan High School. ”
"Oooh! Welcome! Yuhito Suzuki also warmly welcomed, "My name is Yuhito Suzuki, a second-year student at the private Shuyan Academy, and I am a classmate of Makoto Kyushu. ”
"Well, Brother Cheng has already introduced me." Xiao Jing smiled.
While the two were talking, Yuhito Suzuki unconsciously looked at Xiaojing's whole body.
Wow, I haven't seen you for a summer vacation, why did Brother Kyushu hook up with a new girl again? And it looks quite stylish, as long as you pay more attention to dressing up, and then manage your figure a little bit It's very good Yuhito Suzuki thought at high speed.
However, Suzuki Yuhito is not too worried, because this Xiaojing looks like a weak woman who doesn't exercise much. The sexual orientation of the eldest brother in Kyushu is a tough woman who can fight with him as a husband and wife, so he definitely doesn't look down on her.
While the two were talking, the rest of the people also came one after another.
"You're all here!" "Yo!"
Karasawa and Genji Takatsuki are also very ordinary everyday attire, and they don't make any special dresses to cater to the festive atmosphere.
And finally.
"Seniors. And everyone! Sorry I'm late! ”
"Yo Yan~ I haven't seen you for a long time, I'm embarrassed that it took a little more time to dress up!"
The two girls arrived belatedly, and at the same time, everyone else felt the surprise in their eyes.
Hideki Mizuhashi wears a turquoise yukata with white carp and flowers tattooed on it. Shoulder-length short hair is tied up with a hairpin with colored pearls, and she holds an ukiyo-e fan and a small cloth bag in her hand, and her small feet put on clogs but no socks, and she takes small steps to make a clattering sound, which is quite the temperament of Yamato Nadeshiko.
It is worth noting that Mizuhashi Hideki also has a shell bracelet on her wrist, which was bought for her by Makoto Kyushu in Fukuoka. The shells and small conches on the bracelet loom from the cuffs, and they gently collide with the shaking of the arms, making a crisp and pleasant sound.
"Oooh! It's so beautiful, Mizuhashi-san! Yuhito Suzuki's eyes were almost straight, and he couldn't help but praise.
On weekdays, Mizuhashi-san's dress is more conservative and neutral, so it's hard to notice much charm.
But now that she has changed into this rather feminine yukata, it is a bouquet of delicate flowers that are about to bloom, and I am afraid that only men who don't like women will resist admiring it!
If it weren't for the fact that Mizuhashi would have to be assigned to Brother Kyushu, Yuhito Suzuki would have planned to do it directly.
"Oooh! This is even more "Sister Yachuan on the other side is also a heavyweight beauty, which makes Suzuki Yuhito jaw-dropping."
She wears a beautiful orange yukata dotted with a few chrysanthemums. The belted belt brings out her slender waist and well-developed figure.
The slender legs that loom under the bathrobe are dressed in black stockings, and then put on pure white foot bags and clogs, and the slightest glimpse can make people's hearts beat faster and produce strange imaginations.
Senior Sister Yachuan was originally a recognized beauty in the school, with a very good figure and outstanding legs. Her current dress shows the most beautiful parts of her body vividly, but it is not too flattering and explicit, obviously a lot of effort.
Unlike Hideki Mizuhashi, who is cold and blue, Sakumi Rakugawa is dressed as a lively hot girl with a passionate and unrestrained attitude, and her smile is as bright as a sunflower.
As for whether this passion is dedicated to everyone, or to someone she hasn't seen for a long time, she obviously knows this best in her heart, but she can't say it explicitly.
"It's been a long time, everyone~ Everyone has changed a lot during the summer vacation~" Yachuan Sakuwen flicked the peony hairpin on the side of his ear, grinned slightly, but his eyes were completely at Kyushu Cheng, and kept giving him some hints, trying to make him understand that there was something in the words:
"I'm sorry, after all, it's rare to come to the celebration with everyone, so you really have to dress up seriously."
"You guys are dressed up beautifully~" Makoto Kyushu smiled and nodded in praise.
Hearing this, the two girls smiled in unison.
Xiao Jing next to him shrank back, probably feeling inferior in front of the two well-dressed beauties, or oppressed by their aura from nowhere.
