Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 267 264. Summer Festival
【August 27th】

Jiuzhou Cheng opened the calendar and found that the time had come.

These days, he still spends his time working and resting.

Miyamoto Qiu invited him to play a sparring match two days ago, and both of them enjoyed the sparring match with each other. Kyushu Makoto has gained a lot of insights into kendo and has been able to integrate some of the advantages of kendo into his own martial arts. Miyamoto Qiuya said that he learned something from the battle with Kyushu Makoto and was getting closer to the goal of "Sword Master".

As for Nan Hehui, Kyushu Cheng also observed his practice progress and gave him some pointers. Although he is an ordinary mediocre person, as long as he is determined to learn, he must have a bright future.

In addition, since the last time she invited Jiuzhou Cheng to her home, Xiao Jing has gradually become bolder. She invited Jiuzhou Cheng to her home several times to play, basically watching movies and playing online entertainment-oriented games.

Jiuzhou Cheng could notice that Xiao Jing had become more and more cheerful, which gradually made him feel relieved.

Unconsciously, there is not much left in the summer vacation.

Tomorrow is August 28th, which is the Bon Festival this year.

In the past few days, the streets of Tokyo have become noticeably cooler, and many shops where he works have told him that he will not have to come to work these days.

The Obon Festival falls on the same day as the Chinese Ghost Festival, but is more similar to the Qingming Festival.

According to tradition, people go back to their hometowns to visit the graves of their deceased relatives and ancestors during this festival. But gradually, this festival evolved into a time to reunite with living relatives and friends, similar to reunion festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Lantern Festival.

The few days before and after Obon are statutory rest days. Every year during these days, Tokyo's urban population will drop sharply, many shops will close, and people will rush to their hometowns like Spring Festival travel.

In addition, people will also hold grand temple fair celebrations, during which there will be traditional dance performances, lantern parades, night markets, and the most classic fireworks display.

What Kyushu Makoto will participate in tomorrow is the largest celebration in Tokyo.

The original person "Kyushu Makoto" also participated in it several times when he was a child. In his memory, the original person liked this lively celebration very much. Only then, surrounded by happily noisy crowds and immersed in laughter, could he temporarily forget his bad family and bad life.

But for Chen Jiuzhou, this is his first time to participate in this traditional activity of Wano Country.

In the past few days, Suzuki Hisuhito, who is the most motivated, has sent event posters to Kyushu Makoto and others. Kyushu Makoto also informed Mizuhashi-senpai and Akagawa-senpai, and they both said they would take time to play together, and would also put on beautiful holiday yukata.

In addition, Jiuzhou Cheng also asked Xiaojing and planned to invite her to go with him.

As a foreign student, Xiaojing doesn't make many friends on weekdays, and he doesn't like to go out. If she didn't send out an invitation, she would definitely not go out to play, but would be prepared to spend the entire day alone at home.

It’s rare to come to Wano to study abroad, so it would be nice to experience this kind of traditional festival activity.

Jiuzhou Cheng's invitation quickly received her reply:
"Ah, I will definitely come if Brother Cheng invites you! But I don't have a bathrobe. Isn't it embarrassing?"

"It doesn't matter. It's not possible for everyone to wear their traditional bathrobes for this kind of memorial ceremony. Just wear ordinary clothes." Kyushu Cheng replied.

"Then let me come too, thank you, Brother Cheng!" Xiao Jing said quickly.

On the evening of July 28th, Jiuzhou Cheng took Xiao Jing out to the subway station where everyone agreed to meet.

Kyushu Makoto and Xiao Jing were wearing daily clothes, but as they approached the business district where the celebration was held, there were more young people wearing kimonos and bathrobes around them, as well as many tourists who looked like they were attending the event.

Sitting on the slow-moving tram, Kyushu Cheng saw the streets outside the window decorated with lights. The colorful lanterns swayed in the wind, rendering the summer night into a brilliant painting. The streets were even more noisy, with crowds of people walking towards the city in groups like pilgrims.

"It's so lively." Xiao Jing was lying on the window of the tram, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window with bright eyes, his pupils constantly reflecting the colorful light outside the window.

"Is this your first time here?" Kyushu Cheng asked.

"Yeah." Xiao Jing admitted a little ashamedly: "Last year... I didn't come."

"Then let's have fun this year." Jiuzhou Cheng said, "I still have a few classmates over there. You can get to know each other."

"Ok!"

Kyushu Cheng was the first person to arrive at the subway station. There were many tourists walking past him one after another, heading to the event venue.

Many people were wearing festive bathrobes, holding fans and handbags, looking dignified and elegant. Women's bathrobes are usually in bright colors and decorated with patterns of flowers, birds, fish and insects. Men's bathrobes are mainly in dark tones of black, gray, and navy blue, with few patterns, and they all tend to be simple in style.

"Hey! Kyushu-san!" Suzuki Yuhito arrived first. He was wearing what he considered to be the most handsome daily casual clothes. His yellow hair was also groomed, and he seemed to have specially sprayed men's perfume. After seeing Xiao Jing next to Kyushu Makoto, Suzuki Yuhito was stunned for a moment and asked: "Um, Kyushu-san, who is this girl?"

"My neighbor." Kyushu Cheng said naturally.

Xiao Jing also mustered up the courage and took the initiative to introduce himself: "Hello, hello, nice to meet you! I am Brother Cheng's neighbor, an international student from Yanhuang. My name is Zuo Jingtang, you can call me Jingzi, currently A sophomore in high school at the private Seikokan High School.”

"Oh! Welcome!" Suzuki Hisohito also welcomed warmly: "My name is Suzuki Hisohito, a sophomore at the private Xiujin Academy, and a classmate of Kyushu Makoto."

"Well, Brother Cheng has already introduced it to me." Xiao Jing smiled.

While the two were talking, Suzuki Hisahito unconsciously looked at Xiaojing's whole body.

Wow, we haven’t seen each other in the summer vacation, how come Brother Jiuzhou hooked up with a new girl again? And he looks quite stylish. As long as he pays more attention to dressing up and manages his figure a little bit, it will be great. Suzuki Hisuhito thinks at high speed.

However, Suzuki Yuhito is not too worried, because at first glance, this Xiao Jing looks like a weak woman who doesn't exercise much. Brother Kyushu's sexual orientation is that of a strong woman who can have a couple fight with him, so he will definitely look down on her.

While the two were talking, the rest of the people arrived one after another.

"You're all already here!" "Yo!"

Takasawa Takasawa and Takatsuki Genji also wore very ordinary daily attire, and did not dress up in any special way to cater to the festive atmosphere.

Finally it is.
"Senior. And everyone! I'm sorry I'm late!"

"Hey~ Long time no see everyone, I'm sorry it took me a little longer to dress up!"

The two girls arrived belatedly, and at the same time, everyone else was surprised.

Mizuhashi Hideki wore a blue yukata with white carp and flowers tattooed on it. Her shoulder-length hair was tied up with a hairpin with colorful pearls. She was holding an Ukiyo-e fan and a small cloth bag in her hands. She put on geta but no socks on her small feet. She walked with small steps that made a clicking sound. She has the temperament of Yamato Nadeshiko.

It is worth noting that Mizuhashi Hideki still has a shell bracelet hanging on her wrist, which Kyushu Makoto bought for her in Fukuoka. The shells and small conches on the bracelet loomed out from the cuffs, and they gently collided with each other as the arms swayed, making a crisp and sweet sound.

"Oh! You're so beautiful, Mizuhashi-san!" Suzuki Yuhito's eyes almost popped out and he couldn't help but praise her.

On weekdays, Mizuhashi-san's attire is conservative and neutral, so it is difficult for others to detect her charm.

But now that she has put on this feminine yukata, she is like a bouquet of shy flowers that are about to bloom. I am afraid that only men who don't like women can resist admiring them!

If it weren't for Mizuhashi-san's unofficial appointment with Kyushu-san, Suzuki Hisuhito would have planned to take action directly.

"Oh! This one is even more..." Senior sister Yagawa on the other side is also a heavyweight beauty, making Suzuki Yuhito stunned.

She was wearing a gorgeous orange bathrobe dotted with a few chrysanthemums. The belt accentuated her slender waist and well-developed figure.

The slender legs faintly visible under the bathrobe are covered with black stockings, and then covered with pure white tabi and wooden clogs. Just a quick glance at them can make your heart beat faster and give rise to strange fantasies.

Akagawa-senpai was originally recognized as a beauty in the school. She had a very good figure and her legs were particularly prominent. Her current outfit shows off the most beautiful parts of her body to the fullest without being too flattering and revealing. She obviously put a lot of effort into it.

Different from the cold blue Ehime Mizuhashi, Sakifumi Akagawa's dress is that of a lively and passionate hot girl, and her smile is as bright as a sunflower.

As for whether this enthusiasm is dedicated to everyone or to someone she hasn't seen for a long time, she obviously knows it best, but she can't say it clearly.

"Long time no see, everyone~ Everyone has changed a lot during the summer vacation~" Sakigawa twirled the peony hairpin beside his ear, grinning slightly, but his eyes were completely focused on Kyushu Makoto, and he kept giving him a certain A hint, trying to make him understand that there is something behind the words:

"I'm sorry. After all, it's rare to come to the celebration with everyone, so I really need to dress up more seriously."

"You are all dressed up beautifully~" Kyushu Cheng smiled and nodded in praise.

Hearing this, the two girls smiled in unison.

Xiao Jing, who was next to him, shrank back, probably because he felt inferior in front of the two well-groomed beauties, or because he was oppressed by their aura that came from nowhere.
