18, the urban legend of Mrs. Eight Feet?! (Please follow up!) )

Back to the ancient style of Aoki Town, because the sky is getting late, at this time, there is a lantern under the ancient wooden house, and the characteristic fireworks are bright, dotted with small candles, which looks particularly secluded.

In the process of devouring poppies and using optimization to make himself have psychedelic abilities, Toru Ito also spent a certain amount of physical strength, and as soon as he returned to the town, he couldn't wait to find a tavern to replenish food.

There was nothing special to eat in the tavern, so Toru Ito had to order a curry potato rice with some radish pickles, and a tomato egg soup of the day, served in a small bowl.

Because he was hungry, Toru Ito waited for the food to come up, then ate it in a big gulp, and soon, the food on the table was solved.

Eat, pay, leave.

Coherent!

After eating, Toru Ito also wandered aimlessly around the bluestone streets of the town, and as soon as he had eaten his fill, he wanted to walk around and improve his digestion, and he didn't want to go back to Tokyo so early.

Walking to a small street with many red lanterns hanging, the town is noticeably more crowded, and the surrounding townspeople are constantly laughing and buying snacks and household items.

Toru Ito also walked from beginning to end, and saw that there were people who sold octopus balls, skewers, chicken legs, and even small goldfish, and several cute little girls gathered there, with chubby cheeks, very cute.

It makes people feel like they want to pinch.

Toru Ito also looked at the goldfish and then at the little girl, and couldn't help but have a thought of being sanctioned.

"Forget it, it's too small, let's wait a few years."

Shaking his head, Toru Ito also dispelled some of the thoughts in his mind, but when he glanced at the goldfish in the plastic pool, he had another doubt, "Where did the goldfish come from?" The sea is polluted, are there any normal fish? ”

So, Toru Ito, who was very curious, also stepped forward and asked the vendor who was selling small goldfish.

"Oh, I see, these goldfish are ...... from some small wild lake"

After the explanation of the owner of the goldfish vendor, Toru Ito learned that these goldfish were not in the sea, and in fact, he had a misunderstanding in his thinking.

Goldfish don't live in seawater!

It is a freshwater fish.

Today, when the ocean is polluted, several prescient countries have used scientific and technological means to prevent the pollution of the ocean, and have established a part of the inland ocean to supply some seafood and fish.

It's just that from the last era when the nuclear sewage was first disposed of, to now, the new Yaxing Federation was established, and I don't know how many hundred or thousands of years have passed.

The pollution in the water is spreading more and more, and the federation even has a faint feeling that it cannot be controlled.

"Okay, thanks."

In order to express his gratitude to the owner of the goldfish vendor for explaining his doubts, Toru Ito also took out a few coins from his pocket and bought a few small goldfish as a thank you for the answer he had just given.

Turning his head, Toru Ito also gave a few little goldfish in his hand to a few cute little girls next to him, and seriously agreed with them that he would remember to marry him when he grows up!

And also pulled the hook, and promised not to forget it for 100 years!

Taking advantage of the fact that the adults around him didn't pay attention, Toru Ito also slipped away quietly, hiding his merit and fame.

Next, I watched some opera performances, and the opera with thick white powder on their faces wore bright costumes and performed ghost dramas on the stage, and the atmosphere was very eerie.

Toru Ito couldn't see it, but the surrounding residents said it was good, and even discussed it with a smile.

Sure enough, only little Japan appreciates this ghost culture in their country, and this crazy performance is outrageous!

Toru Ito only watched it for a short while, and then slipped away, he really couldn't stand it, and even the newly optimized cow/child said that he couldn't get up!

It's really disinteresting.

At the end of the street, there was a small grocery store selling children's toys, books, and the like, and in front of the door there was a large tree with leafy branches, and Ito couldn't say the name of the tree, but he had seen it often on the road.

Under the tree, several half-human-tall boys gathered together, and one of them, a little boy, was a little older and quarreled with the others with an excited face, and spoke very loudly! Even Toru Ito, who had just walked over, heard some of his words.

“…… The urban legend of the Lady of Eight Feet really exists! ”

"I've really seen her with my own eyes, she smiles so softly, and Mrs. Eight Feet is really tall! But she didn't attack me, and it wasn't at all as terrifying as the legend suggests! ”

"Hehe, who believes it? You've seen it alone, and we haven't seen it?! ”

"By telling me, you're lying! And you can't show evidence at all?! ”

"That's it!"

"If Mrs. Eight Feet really exists, then you can show evidence?!"

The little boy with an agitated face was arguing fiercely with his companions.

When Toru Ito approached, he suddenly became interested when he heard some of the words.

"Urban legends? Mrs. Eight Feet?! ”

"Interesting~"

Toru Ito, who was interested, also stood there and thought about it, first went to the grocery store next to him and bought some small firecrackers and lighters, and then walked straight towards the little boy who was still explaining the existence of Mrs. Eight Feet.

"Lady Eight Feet really exists, you believe me! ……”

"Hey, kids over there, I bought some firecrackers, do you want to play with them?"

Toru Ito's sudden voice interrupted the little boy's explanation.

The little boy and his companion turned their heads to look at Tetsuya Ito, who was smiling and holding a lighter and a box of firecrackers, and they stood there with some hesitation and did not start moving.

After all, the family often told them not to play with strangers.

Toru Ito was not surprised to see this, his parents at home also said the same thing when he was a child, so he naturally knew about this situation.

But the nature of children is to be more playful, I saw Ito Toru also smile at the corner of his mouth, and then casually took out a small firecracker from the box and lit it, and threw it into the distance.

After a few seconds, there was a bang, and a small lighted firecracker exploded not far away.

Without stopping, Toru Ito also lit several small firecrackers and threw them out, and the crackling sound kept arguing, startling some people to shout and scold.

"Hahaha!"

Toru Ito also laughed when he saw this.

As his laughter appeared, Toru Ito asked the group of children again, "Do you want to play?" ”

"Uh-huh."

After hearing Ito's inquiry again this time, the children who were still hesitating suddenly stopped hesitating, nodded resolutely, and rushed to him happily with a curious face.

Even the little boy, who had a fierce quarrel with his companions at first, couldn't help but follow.

Toru Ito also looked at the little boy who followed at the end with a smile on his face.

Sure enough, playful children still can't resist the temptation of firecrackers that will make a loud noise!

Toru Ito also remembers that when he was a child, whenever a firecracker went off in the town, he would always go with his friends to pick up the remaining guns from the explosion, then pick them up and rekindle them.

Although his fingers hurt a lot when he often picked up delayed explosions, Toru Ito also remembers smiling very happily when he was a child.

Now that I think about it, it was the joy of childhood.

It's a pity that some can't go back to the past~

Toru Ito also sighed slightly inwardly.
