Yokohama 8pm Theater
Chapter 48
—— "Next summer, let's wear yukata and participate in the summer festival together!"
Michiko remembered the unfulfilled promise seven years ago, but now that she thinks about it, there is only a touch of emotion left.
In addition to her, Dazai, and their daughter Yuko, this summer festival is a family activity of three members.Seven years ago, "Mori Chiko" never imagined that the agreement between her and her lover would be realized in this way.
Fortunately, everything is back to normal.
"Mom, are you alright?" / "Qianzi ~ Yuko and I are ready to go."
The voices of Yuko and Dazai came from outside the door, pulling Michiko out of her memories.
She responded with "soon", and then raised her hands behind her head, and with ten fingers, she dexterously tied her long, smooth hair into a bun, revealing her fair and slender neck.A black hairpin fastened one end of the hair, and two shorter strands of hair were drawn out along the contour of the ears with the fingertips and hung between the temples.Finally, pin the headdress with flower spikes and tassels on the bun, and you're done.
Michiko got up and stood up from the dressing table. She smoothed the skirt of the yukata with her left hand, picked up the handbag with her right hand, opened the door and walked out.
"Mom, you are so slow—"
Yuko put her waist up, and was about to point out Michiko's mistake of being late, but when she saw Michiko's cherry-colored yukata, which was obviously the same style as her, she immediately shifted her attention.
"Ah! My mother and I wear the same clothes, so beautiful!"
Seeing Yuko praising her and not forgetting to take her with her, Michiko couldn't help laughing out loud.She has reason to suspect that Yuko and Dazai have stayed together for too long and learned to be "bad".
"Mom, what are you laughing at?"
Yuko tilted her head in confusion, then turned to look at Dazai, and asked seriously, "Dad, am I wrong?"
"Yes, Yuko is right." Dazai nodded in agreement, "Today's Yuko and Qianko are very beautiful."
With Dazai's affirmation, Yuko immediately showed a happy smile that relieved her doubts.While running towards the entrance with short legs, she urged Dazai and Michiko who were still standing there to hurry up, otherwise it would be too late.
"Let's go." Michiko glanced at the people beside her, and walked forward first, "Otherwise Yuko will use the newly learned principles to 'rebuke' us again."
But at this time-
With an arm around her waist, she stopped and turned her head to ask what was wrong, when the black-haired young man quickly pressed down.
The warm breath sprayed on the earballs, and the lips moved slightly. Only two people could hear the voice, and the words fell clearly in her ears.
"...Senko in yukata is really cute, but I like you better when you don't have anything on."
Two blushes suddenly appeared on Michiko's face, both ashamed and angry.
She subconsciously stretched out her hand to pinch the itchy flesh on Dazai's waist, but someone had already taken a few steps back very quickly, stood in a safe range and looked towards this side with a smile.
"Qianzi, if you don't go there, Yuko will really have to wait."
Gazing at Dazai fiercely, Michiko turned around and walked quickly to the entrance. ——She decided to refuse to pay attention to someone in a short time!
"Huh? Mom, why is your face so red? Is it too hot?"
"Uh...well, it's a little hot."
"Pfft-"
"Dad, why did you suddenly laugh? Is it what Mom said?"
"Ahem... No, no, what Qian Zi said is right, it's just that the weather is too hot."
The chirping of cicadas suddenly sounded at this moment, as if responding to their conversation, the loud buzzing made the atmosphere of the whole street boil.
The air is dry and hot, and the wind blowing is also hot and dry.
Even after the sun has set, the streets are still radiating heat after a long day, so it is no wonder that the water splashing activities are so lively during the daytime celebration.
Summer festivals in Tokyo are much more lively than in Yokohama.
From the early days, various neighborhoods and shopping malls began to prepare and publicize the activities.On the day of the ceremony, a dance parade organized by merchants for publicity went through the streets and alleys, and the subsequent activities of carrying the shrine and splashing water at the shrine team pushed the cheerful atmosphere to the peak.
At the end of the day, at night, the streets near the river bank or under the shrine are lit up with colorful neon lights, and the festival venue is full of food stalls and game stalls.A few hours later, there will be a grand firework display. It is said that this time it also includes the project of setting off fireworks on the sea in Tokyo Bay, which has attracted many people from far away to watch.
Because the weather was too hot, Michiko and the others did not participate in the daytime activities, so they became the first group of people to rush to the shrine and temple fair.
Before there are too many people, it is just time to take a stroll and have fun.
Yuko is the first time to come to the temple fair of the festival.
The small snacks displayed on the stalls were alluring, and the hot aroma of takoyaki and various barbecues attracted her attention.
After a while, Yuko's hand was full of all kinds of snacks that looked delicious.There are sugar-coated apple candies, banana splits topped with chocolate sauce and colored powdered sugar, and sweet taiyaki mixed with the creamy aroma of milk and sugar.
Usually, Michiko is strict with Yuko.
Snacks can't be eaten casually, and you can't eat too much.If you haven't finished eating what you have, you are not allowed to throw it away and buy something else.But today is a special day, in order to let Yuko have fun, so Michiko automatically took this rule offline for one day.
However, when her eyes fell on her daughter who was like a rabbit out of the cage, and then she looked at the candies, desserts and skewers in her hands, Michiko suddenly felt a little regretful.
"What a mistake," Michiko said helplessly, "If I had known it earlier, I wouldn't have told Yuko 'no limit' but 'reduced limit'."
"Does Qianzi want to go back on his word? That's not okay. If so, you will no longer be a 'super powerful mother' in Yuko's eyes, but a 'bad guy who doesn't keep his word'."
Looking at Dazai's smiling side face, Michiko resolutely attributed the reason to him.
"It's not all because you spoiled her." Saying that, Michiko stuffed everything into Dazai's hands.
However, Michiko took the initiative to take the things back from Dazai soon——
"Dad! Dad! I want to catch this goldfish!" Yuko, who was squatting in front of the goldfish fishing booth, decisively called out the powerful foreign aid in her heart because she failed to catch the little goldfish she liked.
In Yuko's cognition, father's ability to play games is equal to father's ability to play all games.
This kind of thinking is easy to overturn when applied to others, but it is completely fine when applied to Dazai.After he and Yuko joined, the atmosphere at the goldfish stall became weird.
"Dad is amazing!"
"Yuko, do you want anything else?"
"I still want this one!"
Scoop up easily.
"And this one!"
Scoop up easily.
Dazai and Yuko father and daughter had a good time, but the others squatting next to them did not have a good time.Especially those fathers who want to show their talents in front of their children, they all asked this question in their hearts-"Sir, did you do it on purpose? We are all fathers, so is it okay to leave a way for people to survive?"
Michiko didn't pay much attention to what happened on the goldfish fishing side. At this time, she was chatting with Kanae who happened to meet.
"King?"
"It's not working time, just call me by my name."
Michiko looked in the direction Kanae was coming from, and found two familiar figures standing in front of the shooting game booth among the bustling crowd.
"That's... Shinobu and Tomioka Yoshiyuki?"
"Yes, it is."
For some reason, Kanae covered her mouth and laughed as she thought of something interesting.
"Xiao Ren has never played such a game before, so she wanted to try it, but the target she fancy was always shot first. She dropped the gun to see who it was, but she didn't expect it to be Fu Mr. Gang.
Mr. Tomioka said that he didn't mean it, and he didn't know that Shinobu was next to him.Then he said that if Xiao Ren wanted anything, he could sell it to her for the price of one bullet.Xiao Ren couldn't bear it, and the two competed in shooting over there. "
This is really-
A dumbfounding development.
"I guess Tomioka doesn't know why he made Shinobu angry at all."
Just when Michiko finished expressing her exclamation, there was commotion coming from the direction of the goldfish fishing booth, and she immediately turned her gaze over.
There were only two big, two small and four people left by the pool that was surrounded by many people.
Yuko and Dazai are on the right side of the pool, and opposite them is also a father and daughter.Because she couldn't get the little goldfish she wanted, the blond girl in a bathrobe was putting her hands on her hips, scolding the black-haired, red-eyed middle-aged man in a bad tone.
"Rintaro is too good! You can't even catch a goldfish!"
"Alice sauce..."
Seeming how pitiful the two of them were, Yuko who was squatting opposite suddenly leaned up to Dazai and whispered something in Dazai's ear, then she took one of her trophies and handed it to the blonde girl.
"Don't be sad, this goldfish is for you, I have many more."
"..."
Although Yuko's expression was very sincere, Alice inexplicably felt that she had been shown off.
After Alice took the water bag containing the goldfish and said "thank you", Mori Ogai also looked at Dazai.
"Dazai-kun, what a coincidence that I met you here."
"Mr. Mori is the one, why did you come all the way to Tokyo?"
"Oh, it's not Alice who clamored to watch the fireworks, so I had to bring her along."
The corner of Alice's mouth twitched instantly when she was called out suddenly, and Yuko also noticed something keenly.
"Dad, do you know each other?" Yuko asked curiously.
"It's not just acquaintance." Mori Ogai answered Yuko's question first, "In terms of seniority, I'm actually your 'grandpa', little Yuko. Right, Chiko?"
Michiko approached, she didn't answer Mori Ogai's words, but asked: "I remember this time should be the busiest time for you, teacher, why do you come here when you have time?"
"Mr. Dazai has already left, so I will naturally go back to my orphanage. There is basically no work to do. As for whether you are busy there - Qianzi can ask Mr. Chuya."
——Even the teacher left Hong Kong?She thought he would stay with the trend.
Michiko thought so in her heart, but she didn't say it.
She looked down at Yuko, and explained with a smile, "He was mother's adoptive father and teacher, just like Yuko's Hideki's father. It's okay for Yuko to call him 'grandfather'."
Mori Ogai: "Actually, the name 'Rintaro' is the same as Alice-chan..."
Before the word "Yes" could be said, Yuko's serious and cute voice rang out, instantly piercing the black-haired middle-aged man.
Standing on the spot clutching his chest, Mori Ogai sighed inwardly.
—Forget it, that's enough.
Today's headline of "Supernatural People Daily": Shocked!The leader of Hong Kong gangsters actually did such a thing at the festival!The goldfish fishing booth was instantly empty!
