105. Summer Festival 3(1/2)
After coming out of the swimming pool and seeing off Kujo Miki, a hungry Toru Watanabe went into a barbecue restaurant and had a hearty meal.
Then I went to a convenience store to buy a toothpaste and this week's "Weekly Shonen Jump" and spent time at home until six o'clock in the evening.
In the evening, he and Kujo Miki made an appointment to go to the Bon Dance held in Hibiya Park together.
Every summer in the island country, hundreds of lively summer festivals, firework displays and other festivals are held one after another.
There are large and small scales.
The small ones were even just a cool-down party held by a kindergarten.
The cute children put on national costumes, followed the staff of the nearby shrine, and sang and danced in a stylish circle on the streets near the school.
The largest ones are attended by tens of millions of people, and the famous ones include the Hachioji Festival, the Gion Festival, the Nebuta Festival, etc.
The island country is small and has convenient transportation. If you want, you can participate in summer festivals anywhere.
But Miki Kujo didn't have that much time, so she and Toru Watanabe could only participate in summer festivals held in Tokyo.
Tokyo is the largest city in the island country, and of course there are countless summer festivals.
Not only tourist attractions such as Sensoji Temple, Meiji Jingu Shrine, and Nogi Shrine will hold their own summer festivals, administrative districts such as Nakano Ward, Suginami Ward, and Minato Ward will also hold summer festivals. To describe it, there are many.
Hibiya Park holds a large-scale Bon Festival every year. Although it is a pity that there is no fireworks show, the scene is grand and the location is just right in Chiyoda District, where Kujo Mihime lives.
At six o'clock, in order to match the festive atmosphere, Watanabe Toru wore short-sleeved shirts underneath and then put on the dark red shirt that Kujo Miki bought for him.
'Red is no good, I will never wear it!'
'This shirt is a little longer and has the buttons open, so it can be used as a jacket.'
This was the dialogue at the time of purchase. Miki Kujo ignored Toru Watanabe's opinions as always.
Although Toru Watanabe doesn't like him, he looks clean and free in the mirror with a sense of fashion and trend, and his every move reveals the charm of a handsome boy.
He twisted his shoulders uncomfortably, put on his watch and went out.
Traffic control has been implemented on the road, police with loudspeakers are directing traffic, and the station is full of people.
It only takes twenty minutes by train from "Kioi" where Tetsu Watanabe lives to "Hibiya Park". Men and women wearing yukata can be seen everywhere on the road.
Hibiya Park is already filled with row upon row of vendors, and the sky is filled with lanterns with bright yellow lights.
There is still a glimmer of light in the sky at this time, and the lanterns look ordinary, but looking at the continuous number, it will definitely be very spectacular at night.
The outdoor music stage in Hibiya Park imitates the architectural features of ancient Greece. The overall layout is semicircular, with a stage and screen wall in the center.
A group of underground idols are dancing above.
In Toru Watanabe's opinion, the uncles wearing cheer uniforms off the stage can dance much better than them.
Other viewers seemed to be focusing only on this.
The girl dancing in the front row on the stage, facing the fans of the uncle who was dancing enchantingly, seemed to be calm and danced according to her own rhythm.
As a result, as soon as Toru Watanabe came and saw her eyes, for some reason, she would turn her face away when she looked at the fans in front of her, her face would turn a shy blush, and her movements would begin to change.
Occasionally, he pretends to be angry and puffs up his face cutely.
Seeing that he had made his idol laugh, the uncle became even more enthusiastic by twisting his butt and touching his thighs.
Toru Watanabe stood on the outermost steps of the band stage, watching with great interest. He thought that if the uncle was transported to Thailand, he would definitely be able to debut in a girl group when he came back.
"What are you looking at? So serious." A familiar faint fragrance enveloped Toru Watanabe.
Watanabe Tetsu didn't look back, pointed at the dancing man in the cheer uniform, and said with a smile: "Isn't it fun to see how he dances?"
Kujo Miki looked in the direction he pointed, and couldn't help laughing as if she was thinking of something: "Not bad."
"Right." Toru Watanabe said proudly, as if introducing a newly discovered child to his friends.
"Next time you make me angry, I'll make you dance like this for me."
"Wait a minute! Something's wrong! It's weird! Why do I have to dance like this..."
Watanabe Toru turned around and saw Miki Kujo smiling, and could not say the rest.
Her long hair was tied up, revealing her white neck. She was wearing a black bathrobe with flowers and butterflies embroidered on it. She had a rouge-colored belt around her thin waist, and her breasts were full and plump.
Just like when he first saw her wearing a luxurious red kimono, Toru Watanabe once again had the illusion that Kujo Miki was a 'beautiful princess'.
"What's wrong? Is it weird?" Kujo Miki asked with a smile.
"Miki, you are more beautiful today than you were in the summer when I met Sawamura."
"How beautiful is that?"
"After I left, I will think of her beauty every day."
Kujo Miki showed a satisfied look: "You are also very handsome today."
"The main reason is that you have good taste." Watanabe Toru talked about clothes and himself, holding her slender hand very naturally.
"Your taste is not bad either." Kujo Miki let him hold her hand and replied.
Watanabe Toru suddenly felt that it was silly for the two of them to praise each other all the time, and he couldn't help but laugh. A smile also burst out on Miki Kujo's face.
At this time, the sun has set, all the lights around are extinguished, it is pitch black, and the shadows of the trees are swaying.
At night, Hibiya Park completely transforms into another world, with lanterns hanging one after another on the ropes connected to the high platform in the middle of the park.
The lights of the vendors stretch all the way to the end of the road.
It seems that all the excitement and lights in Tokyo that night have settled here.
"It's almost time to go shopping."
"You asked me to come here. If it's not fun, I'll punish you."
"I will never dance!"
"Your body is not what you say."
The two held hands and walked towards the night market.
Drawing lots, roasting corn, fishing for goldfish...
The cries of the chow mein boss; the child in front of the takoyaki stall who was burned by the freshly baked meatballs and stamped his feet...
Kujo Miki's clogs made a clicking sound when she stepped on the stone pavement.
"What do you want to eat?" Watanabe Toru asked.
"Well... this is it." Kujo Miki pointed to the cotton candy stall.
It turns out she was just interested in the process of making marshmallows.
After taking two bites of the marshmallow, he thought it contained too much sugar, so he gave it to Toru Watanabe.
"Let's go eat shaved ice. It's a bit hot to wear a yukata in this weather." She said looking at the shaved ice stall not far away.
"okay."
Kujo Miki ordered the blue Hawaiian flavor. Watanabe Toru originally wanted the strawberry flavor, but after looking at the marshmallows in his hand, he decided to forget it.
"600 yen!"
"Give."
After paying the money, Toru Watanabe glanced at the stall owner who was starting to make the mask, took a bite of the marshmallow, and his eyes were attracted by the stall selling masks next door.
"Oh!" Toru Watanabe took two steps and looked at the wooden board covered with masks.
Shopkeeper wearing a gorilla mask: "800 yen each!"
Kujo Miki took a look: "What's the meaning of these toys?"
"You don't understand. Boss, you gave me a card to play this!"
After getting the mask, Toru Watanabe put it on his face and made a marshmallow sign on his chest: "I'm here!"
"Oh!" The little boy and boys on the side gave him a look that said, "Ten points for this action."
Miki Kujo looked like an idiot.
Only on this matter, she unexpectedly reached an agreement with Qingye Rin.
"Isn't it handsome? This is Kamen Lata!" Toru Watanabe asked in disbelief.
"It's not a question of whether you're handsome or not, it's just that you're ugly." Miki Kujo crossed her arms.
"I don't believe you are not moved!" Watanabe Toru changed the marshmallow to his left hand and raised his right hand towards her: "Miki, I will protect your smile! I will never forgive the guy who hurt you! Change
body!"
Kujo Miki turned around and said to the shaved ice owner: "Hurry up."
"Okay, okay, it'll be ready soon!"
"..."
"Don't be like this! I, no, the mask will be sad! Boss, I want this fox mask too! Come on, Mei Ji, put it on for you."
"Take it away, I don't want it, it's so ugly."
