Chapter 44: The Yellow Millet Dream (1) - Moon Shadow

Kuroba Kurian stood on the deck wearing a sun hat and enjoying the sea breeze.

Seagulls flew up and down following the passenger ship, their white wings spread out and the edges of their wings were stained with a faint black.

When they picked up the fish and shrimp in the water that were caught by the tail of the passenger ship and flew up, the raised water droplets scattered and fell, reflecting an extremely bright light in the sunlight.

Occasionally a few seagulls would land on the side of the ship to rest; the bolder ones would even land on the edge of the deck, very close to Li An.

But as soon as she stretched out her hand, the seagulls flew away immediately.

A few feathers, gradually turning from white to black, lightly fell onto the red deck and were gathered by her.

I can make a few bookmarks later.

There were a few white round tables scattered around the cruise ship, and huge parasols blocked the glaring sunlight.

There was a cup of warm water and a cup of tea on the table, and Yuko Sora was slumped in a seat beside the table in an image-less manner.

The ocean really makes people feel relaxed and at ease.

It would be even better if there was dessert.

Desserts and tea are a great combination.

In the distance, an island gradually emerged where the sea and the sky met.

"We're almost there." Li An pulled out a chair and sat down. "Yuko, are uncle and aunt sure you want to prepare for the development of Moon Shadow Island again?"

There are still many things hidden on Moon Shadow Island.

Yuko looked unhappy. She had just returned from Kyoto and she had already taken on such a job. They really thought she was a spinning top. "Yes, my parents said they don't have time, so I'll be in charge of this matter. When we're done, we'll have a lawyer come over."

She muttered, "I had promised to take Liu Sheng to the amusement park when I came back, but my parents cut us off."

Li An joked, "Ryusei probably won't even remember you now that he has his uncle and aunt with him."

"However, even if they don't let you come, I will still bring you to the island in the next few days. Xiaochun is preparing for the final exam these days, so I can only bring you. If it weren't for the coincidence, you might have to come here twice in a few days."

I don't know how it was calculated, but Miss Queshe will have her final exam in three days.

No, this is what happened.

Yuko quietly retorted in her mind.

If Sister Li An hadn't said before that she would come over in the next few days, she would not have taken on the job and would have handed it over to someone else.

Sister Li An has been very worrying lately. Don't think she doesn't know. She found out that there was a bomb on the last train.

It was so dangerous, but Sister Li An actually "drove" her off the bus early.

As for where you found it.

There is Mei Zhan in Kyoto who has experienced this firsthand.

That woman... She asked Longzhong to give her another reminder. Since everyone has a code name, she should not reveal her own affairs to anyone she sees. Even if she knows that she, Soramu Yuko, is Sister Kuriyasu's best friend, she should not say it out.

Sister Li An saved her, so she can’t let her repay her kindness with evil.

She didn't believe that Li An didn't know that she had found out about this. Maybe he arranged for her to go to Kyoto just to make her the person who made the suggestion.

But Sister Li An just didn't want to let herself go into that place!

Humph.

Yuko didn't know that Li An had actually made the decision to tell her, but Yuko was about to go to Kyoto for an exhibition, and if there was any delay, she would forget about it.

"Should we visit the village chief first, or..."

The passenger ship rose and fell with the waves and finally docked at its destination.

……

This is Moon Shadow Island.

Yueying Island has simple folk customs and picturesque scenery. If it were developed, it would probably be a good place for tourism.

The streets here are clean and there are various trees planted on the roadside.

Among them, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.

Unfortunately, this is not a tourist destination, but just an ordinary village.

The island is relatively quiet, of course, provided that you ignore the canvassing trucks with huge loudspeakers playing slogans such as "Please vote for Masato Shimizu" which are obviously disturbing to the public.

"It looks like something very important is being prepared here." Yuko looked at the canvassing lane going away, "Are we here at the wrong time?"

Whenever there is an election, they always see all kinds of canvassing vehicles "shouting" on the streets, which is no longer surprising.

Li An smiled at Youzi: "No, we came at the right time."

"The election for village chief is about to begin. If a candidate can attract huge investments, this will be their capital to become village chief." So, it is actually the right time to come to Moon Shadow Island.

Several candidates will make concessions when trying to win them over, and the Kongmu family, as an investor, will naturally be able to gain more benefits.

After leaving their luggage at the hotel, Kuriyasu and Yuko rested for a while and then went out for a walk.

As a village, although the scenery here is beautiful, it is indeed not a good place for tourism. There are no snack and souvenir shops. It is just a very normal and ordinary village.

So the two of them lost interest after walking around for a while.

They walked around Moon Shadow Island, observing everything around them as they walked, took out the map to compare carefully, and discussed it from time to time. It really looked like a place to invest.

The model of Moonshadow Island quickly took shape in their minds.

Although some people have been to the island before, it is still better to see it with your own eyes for "testing".

In addition, this test is still missing a "protagonist".

……

Moon Shadow Island local office.

Upon hearing that Yuko Sora was investing on behalf of a large company, the office staff immediately reported to Mr. Kuroiwa, who is now the village chief.

Upon hearing about this, the current village chief, Heiyan, who has been troubled by the low number of votes in the village chief election, rushed over immediately.

If the village can attract this investment, his chances of being re-elected as village chief will be greater.

Why didn't this person come here sooner?

Thinking of this, Heiyan felt a little dissatisfied.

He quickened his pace, but a humble and ingratiating smile appeared on his face.

At the same time, Mr. Shimizu, a representative of the fishermen, and Mr. Kawashima, the largest property owner on the island, also received the news from the office and were rushing over.

……

After finally getting rid of several enthusiastic candidates for village chief and rejecting their proposal to find a guide, Kuroba Kuriyasu and Soragi Yuko walked around again.

There were some people following behind them, but they ignored them tacitly.

As they walked around, the two of them identified various places such as the community center, clinic, police station, and residential houses.

Finally it stopped in front of the police station.

After crossing the ocean to this island, is there a police station at their destination?

On a chair in front of the police station, an elderly police officer was sleeping at the door. He was wearing round glasses and his beard rose and fell with his long breathing. He looked like a very interesting old man.

But when someone came over, the police officer woke up. He raised his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and asked in a slightly sleepy voice: "Ladies, what do you want to do at the police station..."

He put on his glasses and looked carefully at Yuko Sora who was beside Kuriyasu.

He seemed to have seen this face many years ago.
