Flying over the bubble era

The city on weekdays and the streets at night are quiet.

The two held hands and walked slowly.Iwahashi Shinichi heard the soft sound of the kimono fabric rubbing, and he didn't know whether it was the quiet environment that made him feel peaceful, or whether it was his inner peace that made him feel the tranquility of the environment.

Unknowingly, the two of them strolled to the cherry blossom tree.

Nakamori Akina raised her head, "It's Sakura."

The couple stopped at the same time.Shinichi Iwahashi did not look at the cherry blossoms, but turned his attention to Akina Nakamori who was looking at the cherry blossom trees in front of her.

Nakamori Akina turned her head, glanced at her husband beside her, and suddenly showed her trademark cunning expression - at a glance, you could tell what kind of evil idea was popping up in her head.She took her hand out of Shinichi Iwahashi's hand and stepped forward to the foot of the cherry blossom tree.

The cherry blossoms illuminated by the street lights exude wonderful colors and textures that unexpectedly complement the satin fabric of the kimono.Iwahashi Shinichi saw it and felt it was strange.Although he said before setting off that "kimonos and cherry blossoms go best", for a foreigner like him, there was nothing special about cherry blossom viewing.

It wasn't until he saw Akina Nakamori standing under the cherry blossom tree in a kimono that he truly understood it.

Previously, whenever the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, Shinichi Iwahashi was indifferent to it.I heard that Akamatsu Haruko would specially return to Kyoto to enjoy the cherry blossoms, and she felt that Kyoto people were making a fuss out of a molehill.But once I truly realize the beauty of cherry blossom viewing at this moment, I have a new understanding of these things.

Iwahashi Shinichi was surprised by the new discovery brought to him by his wife. Nakamori Akina looked at him with a smile, turned her head and focused on the cherry blossom tree she met by chance.

As he walked forward, Nakamori Akina suddenly confessed to him: "I like Hokkaido."

Iwahashi Shinichi said "hmm" and answered her: "I like Akina."

Akina Nakamori smiled brightly, but she did not forget to take the opportunity to joke: "Iwahashi-san can talk now."

Iwahashi Shinichi was helpless, "At this time, what does one mouthful of 'Iwahashi-san' mean?"

Nakamori Akina blinked her eyes and pretended to be stupid with him, "I thought you would focus on 'now'." This Taopusida finally found the trick to argue with her husband.

Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her smug look and couldn't help but stretched out a finger and poked her forehead.

Akina Nakamori was not annoyed, but instead held his finger with a smile.

"I like Hokkaido." She said again.There was a pause in his tone, "Although I have always liked Shinichi, but when I came to Hokkaido, I fell in love with you even more."

Iwahashi Shinichi smiled at her, "In that case, we might as well stay in Hokkaido."

"Here we go again." Nakamori Akina seized the opportunity and continued to tease him, "Iwahashi-san can always say something nice anytime, anywhere."

Iwahashi Shinichi was helpless, "To you, what else can I say besides this?"

Nakamori Akina took his hand and stepped forward.She happily said, "But... I like what you said, Shen Yi." She seemed to be murmuring.

But because the two people were close to each other, even if they spoke in a low voice, Iwahashi Shinichi could hear them.

"Since we like Hokkaido, let's buy a vacation villa in Hokkaido."

Iwahashi Shinichi spoke on the spur of the moment, and Nakamori Akina stopped in her steps and said "Huh?"Iwahashi Shinichi laughed at her, "She looks like a big sister."

Akina Nakamori was unconvinced, "It's Shinichi you're trying to scare people."

"I'm serious." Shinichi Iwahashi brought up the old story again, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to give Akina Sangada a more grown-up gift?"

"For a bigger gift, of course it has to be something powerful." He deliberately showed a bit of pride.

Nakamori Akina was amused by him and said to him: "If it scares people, it is a great success."

Iwahashi Shinichi asked her: "So, how is it?"

Buying a vacation villa in Hokkaido was a spur-of-the-moment idea for Shinichi Iwahashi when he was still in Sapporo.

The huge waves set off by the bubble era also left a considerable mark in the far north.And when the bubble bursts, far away from the city center, what you feel is like the winter in the snow country, dull and intense, but because it is so long, you gradually feel less intense and only feel the dull impact.

Shinichi Iwahashi was reading the local tabloid during the day and when he read the information about the land transfer, he was moved by this idea.

When the cherry blossoms in Tokyo have stopped blooming, you can do it if you want to see them on a whim. This alone is enough reason.What's more, not only Akina Nakamori, but he also likes Hokkaido.

"You ask me how I feel..." Akina Nakamori smiled.She breathed a sigh of relief and answered him, "If it's a gift from you, of course I'll accept it."

For children on the shopping street, receiving a vacation home as a gift inevitably produces some instinctive resentment for the prodigal son.But for a wife, if her husband wants to give such a gift, there is no reason not to accept it happily.

In addition, there was a girl who disturbed her heartstrings living in her home in Tokyo. This incident, invisibly, changed Akina Nakamori's past thoughts and made her feel involuntarily moved by the gift that Shinichi Iwahashi was going to give.

But even Nakamori Akina herself was ignorant and unaware of this.Iwahashi Shinichi had no way of knowing his wife's subtle thoughts, but since he had obtained Nakamori Akina's consent, he began to plan in his mind and called the clerk in Tokyo the next day.

The two of them liked walking when they were dating. Today, as long as they walk side by side, they don't feel bored until they are tired.

You can't walk fast in a kimono, and the more you do it, the more likely you are to feel tired.Iwahashi Shinichi held Nakamori Akina's hand and took small steps with his wife. The phrase "You can't have your cake and eat it too" came to his mind and he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Have you thought of anything good?" Akina Nakamori asked him.

Iwahashi Shinichi replied: "I was thinking, if I had known I had the opportunity to wear a kimono, I would have prepared one for me." He joked about Akina Nakamori's lies to fool people before going out, "I will prepare what you said, the style that married men should wear. .”

"...Iwahashi-san is really stingy." Nakamori Akina complained.

Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and accepted his wife's harmless complaints, becoming more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, "It would be more conspicuous if both husband and wife went out wearing kimonos."

This time, it was Nakamori Akina's turn to tease him: "It's like Shinichi said, just pretend you're going to a wedding."

"It seems that Akina-san is not generous either." Iwahashi Shinichi replied.

The two people talked about allusions that only each other could understand, and subconsciously looked at each other. When their eyes exchanged, they both laughed.

The warmth and tranquility brought about by the connection between each other lasted until the two of them sat and rested in a street pub, and continued until they returned to the hotel where they stayed.

Iwahashi Shin handed the coat he had changed into to his wife, and subconsciously looked at her kimono attire.Although he wanted to help his wife in some way, after looking at it again and again, there really was no place for him to help.

"Are you going to change clothes?" he asked.

Akina Nakamori hung up Shinichi Iwahashi's coat and asked him instead, "Do you want Shinichi to take a shower first?"

Iwahashi Shinichi said "hmm" and put his hand on her waist.Akina Nakamori leaned into his arms.From outdoors to indoors, when you touch the kimono fabric, different temperatures bring different tactile sensations.

Nakamori Akina imagined Iwahashi Shinichi's intentions in liking her wearing a kimono, but she did not avoid it.On the contrary, it was Iwahashi Shinichi. He smiled as if surrendering and admitted defeat to her: "I can't untie the belt of your kimono."

Is it because of what happened before the trip that he is like this?

When Akina Nakamori had such a ridiculous thought in her mind, she couldn't tell whether it was Iwahashi Shinichi or herself who was causing the quarrel.

The more Iwahashi Shinichi behaves himself, the more Nakamori Akina becomes intolerable.

She actually had a desire that was like no hesitation.

"Forget it if you can't untie it." When Nakamori Akina opened her mouth, she said words that sounded like she was angry.

When Iwahashi Shin heard what she said, his fingers dug into the complicated belt of his kimono. He knew that what he was doing was in vain, but he still had to take action.

He was reckless and confused, and Akina Nakamori felt her heartbeat tremble and hugged him tightly.

"Shinichi, you are such a petty person." He was obviously the one who was harboring all his worries, but Akina Nakamori just hit him instead, which was inexplicable.

Iwahashi Shinichi smiled softly and asked her: "Do you miss me so much?"

"It's a fact." Nakamori Akina continued to speak harshly.

Iwahashi Shinichi asked her: "So, it's because I'm petty that you're unhappy?"

"Am I unhappy?"

Iwahashi Shin nodded, and Nakamori Akina heard the swishing sound of her temples rubbing together and quietly puffed up her cheeks.

"At least, it seems that he is quietly having trouble with me." Iwahashi Shinichi said.

Nakamori Akina's little mood couldn't be hidden from him after all.However, she was obviously very happy along the way, but she was secretly fighting in some inexplicable place. The reason for Akina Nakamori's change in mood was unknown to Shinichi Iwahashi.

Akina Nakamori murmured: "If you tell me this, now it's not a secret quarrel."

Iwahashi Shinichi made her laugh, "Then why are you having trouble?"

"I don't know." Nakamori Akina didn't think twice, she simply lied, "Just think that I am an emotionally unstable woman..." She grabbed Shinichi Iwahashi's fingers that were doing useless work on the kimono belt, "Don't move, it's itchy."

"I can't untie your kimono belt." Shinichi Iwahashi said again.

When Nakamori Akina heard this sentence just now, she felt that he was admitting defeat, and she hated him for being so easy to do so.But now it sounds like it suddenly feels like this is a signal for help sent by Shinichi Iwahashi.

Who is the person causing the quarrel?

Such thoughts flashed across Nakamori Akina's mind again. She raised her eyes and looked at Iwahashi Shinichi's face, "I think..."

Iwahashi Shinichi said "Huh?" and looked into her eyes.

Nakamori Akina told him: "I want to wear this kimono...with you."
