I just want to live in peace, I refuse to fall in love

Chapter 193

There were not many people in the department store today. The three of them came to the place where yukata was sold. There were only a few customers in the store, fiddling with their upper body skirts in front of the mirror.

"There have been several fireworks displays recently, and because of the Obon Festival, many people will come to buy new yukata." Xiangzi pulled Shirakawa Kazuya's sleeves and introduced him to him excitedly.

"That's it. Let's also look for a suitable yukata. Don't be outdone by others!" Nagata Chinatsu raised her fists, looking very energetic.

Shirakawa Kazuya walked into the store and looked at the red, white, and black yukatas of different colors and shapes, and he was a little dazzled for a while.

"Guests, what kind of yukata do you want?" The uniformed employee came over and asked Shirakawa Kazuya with a professional smile.

"I'll just use a more ordinary yukata, nothing too fancy." Shirakawa Kazuya didn't know much about these things, so he could only put forward his own request first.

The female employee covered her mouth and smiled, "Don't worry, sir, the ones you see with colorful flowers printed on them are all girls' yukata. Boys' yukata are not so fancy, they are all plain colors. "

"Oh, that's it." Shirakawa Kazuya scratched his head. It's not like he didn't understand anything at all. Last night, he went to learn some knowledge about yukata, but he seemed to have added the wrong points. Just learn as you go. Let’s get to the historical aspect.

He didn't know much about whether boys should wear yukata at fireworks displays, but he had studied the differences between yukata, kimono and wufu in great depth.

First of all, there is the difference between yukata and wufu. wufu is considered a formal suit and has a white collar called an "underband" inside, so it looks like it has two collars, while yukata only has a single collar.At the same time, Wufu wears white socks, which are "foot bags", while Yukata wears bare feet.But despite saying this, I still dress neatly when I go out.Finally, the materials are different.Wu clothes are more expensive and mostly made of silk.Yukata are generally made of cotton.

And there are other connections between Wufu and kimono. Bai Chuanhe also found a record in a history book called "Yi Shoki", to the effect that Japan introduced the Wu land of China at that time during the period of Emperor Oshen. textile craftsmen and techniques.Therefore, Wufu sometimes refers to the old name of kimono.

Late at night, he directly studied the history book and analyzed the sentence structure and word usage of the ancient texts in it.

This is probably why I originally wanted to study yukata but ended up returning to studying.

"Onisan, Onisan?" Xiangzi's voice brought him back to reality from his thoughts. He saw Xiangzi holding a dark red yukata with a dragonfly printed on it in his hand. The dragonfly was perched on the calamus flower. Xiangzi put the yukata on He held it up to his chest, "Will I look good in this?"

"Hmm, it looks good? You can give it a try." Kazuya Shirakawa touched his chin. As a novice in this field, he did not dare to give casual suggestions, but gave a cautious answer.

The female employee came over with a smile on her face and said, "This lady is very discerning! The flower language of the calamus flower is a message of love. There is also another flower language that is the blessing of believers, which means struggle and victory. The dragonfly is also a kind of flower that is considered to be a symbol of dynasty. The insect that strives to achieve its goal is nicknamed the 'Victory Insect', and it is also one of the auspicious signs! This yukata can be said to be a win upon win!"

Of course, there is no need to worry about the meaning being bad. Since it is made and sold, it must have all kinds of beautiful meanings. Shirakawa Kazuya smiled and said to Xiangzi, "Why don't you try it first? See if it fits. .”

"Okay, I'll try it on first." Xiangzi's expression was very satisfied, and she seemed to like this item very much. She followed the shopping guide and walked into the fitting room at the edge.

"Kazuya, what do you want to wear?" Nagata Chinatsu pointed to the row of men's yukata with less fancy prints and simpler colors.

Shirakawa Kazuya walked over and touched the material. It felt thin and slightly stiff, "It's okay. I can't see what's good or bad. What do you think?" "Let me see, okay. Which one should I choose?" Nagata Chinatsu clasped her hands on her chest and looked carefully at the yukatas that were not much different one after another. Finally, she chose a pure black one with some dark red patterns on it. Yukata, "How about this?"

"This pattern is gladiolus, which symbolizes fortune, wealth, evil spirits, and promotion. It is very suitable for a boy like you." Another clerk came over and introduced it to the two of them.

The flowers of gladioli bloom gradually from bottom to top, symbolizing rising steadily.At the same time, it looks very similar to the long sword worn by Zhong Kui, which makes Shirakawa Kazuya like it very much.He nodded and said to the clerk, "Just this one, I'll take it and try it out."

"Okay, please come over here." The clerk took Shirakawa Kazuya into another room three spaces away from Xiangzi's fitting room.

"Chinatsu, take a look for yourself first, and I'll help you pick them out when they come out later." Shirakawa Kazuya waved his hand and closed the curtain.

"It's okay, you try it first, I won't wait until you are all done and then I'll take a look." Nagata Chinatsu didn't really care who went first and who came last.

After taking off the long sleeves of his upper body in a somewhat narrow space, Shirakawa Kazuya realized a problem, that is, he couldn't wear a yukata at all.

What to do?You can't just do it casually.

He thought for a while, poked his head out from the curtain, and wanted to ask the clerk, but the clerk had already gone to entertain other customers, so he didn't see him, but Nagata Chika looked here first.

"Kazuya, what's wrong?" She put down the yukata in her hand and walked over.

"Well, I'm not very good at wearing a yukata. I want the store clerk to help me." Shirakawa Kazuya scratched his hair a little embarrassed.

Nagata Chinatsu nodded with a little smirk, "So there is something Kazuya can't do? I almost thought you were a decathlete."

"The decathlon doesn't include wearing a yukata, right?" Shirakawa Kazuya held this ball of fabric in his hand, but he really couldn't figure out how to wear this thing.

"The clerk seems to be very busy, let me help you." Nagata Chinatsu looked back and saw that the two clerks in the store were entertaining other customers and did not notice the situation here.

Shirakawa Kazuya didn't react for a moment, "Help me, how can I help?"

Before he could finish his words, Nagata Chinatsu barged directly into his fitting room.

"Is Kazuya wearing clothes? How perverted." Nagata Chinatsu's face was a little red, but she didn't look away.
