I’m a Witch In Dongying

"Here, Qiu Jiang, and this one."

Keiko Kamdai said, handing a ball fan to Bai Shuiqiu's hand.

This thing is one of the accessories that match the yukata, and the other two important collocations are handbags and clogs. The latter is an alternative to the foot bag. When wearing a yukata, you can only wear wooden clogs, and you need to expose your entire foot. Sometimes you can put a cover on the outside in rainy days.

Bai Shuiqiu rarely wears this kind of shoes.

When she usually wears witch costumes in the shrine, she also wears red new straw sandals—the “straw sandals” here are not really made of hemp, but are the general name for a type of shoes that correspond to clogs. The materials are mostly They are all fabrics, or artificial leather, when worn with the foot bag——

So, suddenly walking with this kind of shoes is somewhat unaccustomed.

While waiting for other people to pack up their things, Bai Shuiqiu tried to walk a few times in the room, barely adapting to it.

Until it was almost five o'clock, Hashimoto China and others were all sorted out.

A group of girls exchanged a few words, picked up their own things and left the room, locked the door, and walked down the corridor.

At this time, Ogata and others from the boy's side also came out wearing kimonos.

After the two parties said hello, they walked towards the elevator together.

It is worth mentioning that Bai Shuiqiu did not see the figure of Jiufeng Ziyuan in the crowd. It is estimated that this old monster may be investigating the food-eating ghost according to the plan she said before. However, this situation has little to do with Bai Shuiqiu and the others.

Although the old monster has been mingling with the members of the yudo club, after all, he still bears the identity of a teacher. No matter what the private relationship is, it is still a bit restrictive to play together in this kind of festival...

A group of people came downstairs.

Following the pre-checked route of action, walked to the nearest square to the hotel.

There were almost a dozen members of the Kyudo Club who came out together this time.

With the addition of the students in Class B for one year, there are a total of more than 20 students.

It is really troublesome for so many people to move together. After all, everyone wants to go to different places, and some people are not familiar with each other, so they can’t let go of playing together, so after arriving in the small square with friends, As Ogata spoke, a group of people scattered in small groups and headed in several different directions.

Several second-year seniors, including Ogata, walked together.

The first grade students are divided into three or four groups.

Naturally, Shirasumiaki and Keiko Kandaji, as well as Hyuga Asuka, China Hashimoto and others, marched deeper into the square.

Along the way, several people stopped and went.

Such ceremonies in Dongying are a bit like Chinese temple fairs.

On this occasion, various celebration activities are definitely indispensable.

Even in this small square, which is not too lively, there is a big bonfire blazing. A group of Kyoto people in traditional costumes are in a circle, singing and dancing, and there are people playing taiko and shamisen nearby. Classical musical instruments such as strings sing Gion small tunes.

As for the surroundings of the square, there are many small open-air stalls scattered around, providing a variety of food and small games.

Activities such as throwing darts, hoops, and air guns can be seen everywhere.

Food is some snacks with Dongying characteristics, such as thick fish, wagashi, soup tofu and the like.

Bai Shuiqiu and his party came out without a meal. At this time, they smelled the aroma from the shop and was somewhat greedy, so they bought something to eat in twos and threes and divided it among everyone. Everyone was holding a few strings of snacks. Fruit, eat and watch while walking.

Compared with the small games of throwing darts, the most interesting thing is to catch the goldfish.

This kind of entertainment originally originated in the Tang Dynasty in China, and was later introduced to Dongying. It became one of the favorite traditional games of Dongying people and can be seen at summer festivals all over the country. The specific game rule is to use a thin paper net to catch the goldfish in the pool.

Paper nets are easy to break when exposed to water, and it is difficult for ordinary people to catch them at once, so you need to spend a few more nets.

The goldfish caught will be used as trophies and brought back by the customers themselves.

However, when most of the guests are playing goldfish fishing, they are actually just interested, and they have not figured out how to dispose of the goldfish they caught. Therefore, after each festival, they can find them near the goldfish fishing stalls. Dead goldfish that are rarely abandoned. For this reason, this game is often criticized by the Animal Protection Association.

Bai Shuiqiu also stopped when he passed a shop where he was fishing for goldfish and watched with interest for a while.

"Yeah... Does Qiujiang want to play this?"

Keiko Kamishiro was watching the dart throwing activity at the opposite shop, but didn't notice that Bai Shuiqiu stopped, suddenly bumped into her, and subconsciously stretched out her hands and hugged him, and almost wiped the soup tofu in her hand on Bai Shuiqiu's collar. superior.

"I don't really want to play, I'm just a little curious..."

Bai Shuiqiu smoothly helped Keiko Kandaji and smiled lightly.

She actually wants to play a little bit.

But I always feel that these games are for children, and for a mature "adult" like her, it's a bit discordant.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The average age of the children surrounding the goldfish shop is under ten years old. There are even a few five or six-year-old children who may not have gone to kindergarten. Some net bags are used up. He didn't leave, and squatted there to watch others fishing, occasionally encountering a few noises, and splashing out some of the water in the tub.

But Keiko Kashiro didn't have so many worries.

Glancing at Bai Shuiqiu's face, the girl simply put the soup tofu on the ground, then took out a ten thousand yuan bill from her handbag and handed it to the stall owner: "Please get me a hundred nets."

"what?"

A string of question marks appeared on Bai Shuiqiu's head.

One hundred... Zhang?

The paper nets bought by the group of kids just now add up, I'm afraid they are not even this number, right?

Seeing the ten thousand yuan bill, he smiled at the showdown, took the net bag with the paper net, and placed it in front of Bai Shuiqiu and Keiko Kandai, and motioned for them to be free.

Keiko Kandai stood by, raised his chin towards Bai Shuiqiu, and said with a grin, "It's better to come, Qiujiang, I'm not very good at this kind of game."

"...Then I'm not welcome."

The paper net has been bought, and it is impossible to return it.

Therefore, after Bai Shuiqiu hesitated for a while, he nodded and squatted down by the pool, holding the net and bowl in his hand, slowly raising his arm and approaching the water.

This kind of game actually doesn't have any complicated routines, it just relies on quick hands and quick eyes.

Bai Shuiqiu had been watching for a while just now, and he probably had a spectrum of the strength of the paper net and the time it was soaked in water. After a moment of concentration, he peeked forward like a dragonfly on the water surface. Going up for a while, he directly picked up a big red goldfish and poured it into a bowl.

After this step, there is almost no water mark on the paper web.

"It seems I can do it again..."

Bai Shuiqiu pursed his lips, still holding this net, and fished it again.

Still not broken.

It was only when the fourth fish was caught that the paper net broke through a small hole in the middle, which was considered dead.

"???"

Fishing four times in one net, is there still this kind of operation?

After having the first experience, Bai Shuiqiu fished five goldfish in one breath before reimbursing the second paper net.

"Wow, sister is amazing!"

A group of children around had noticed Bai Shuiqiu, and they gathered from all around, surrounded her and applauded loudly, but the stall owner's face was a little green.

Most people fish for goldfish. Even if they can catch two nets with ten nets, it is very powerful. Where is this freak? Two nets catch nine goldfishes? If this continues to be fished, I am afraid that even one-fifth of the hundred nets will not be used, and all the goldfish in this big tub will be fished out, right?

Bai Shuiqiu also noticed the expression of the stall owner.

Her current practice is indeed a bit suspicion of hitting the scene.

So after fishing the third net, Bai Shuiqiu stopped and distributed the few goldfish in the bowl to the eager children on both sides, and then turned to look at the Hyuga Asuka and others behind him: "Well, you guys. Do you want to try it?"

The girls looked at each other, and Hashimoto China came over first: "Hehe, I'll try it twice too. I don't know if Xiaoqiu has such good luck as you."

Facts have proved that Bai Shuiqiu is not relying on pure luck.

Hashimoto China broke five nets in a row and found nothing.

Then I changed into Hyuga Asuka, fished three of them, and got a goldfish.

Even Keiko Kandaji tried it enthusiastically, and got good grades in five rounds and four high schools. Although it can't compare with Bai Shuiqiu, it is already very powerful among ordinary people.

About half of the 100 nets were used, Keiko Kandairo waved his hand and gave the remaining times to Momoi and the others, and then took Bai Shuiqiu to continue walking.

Next, the two shot air guns for a while.

Said it is an air gun, in fact it is only filled with plastic bullets.

Keiko Kashiro was the same as before, with another ten thousand yuan bill handed over. Bai Shuiqiu shot two puppets with the first two shots and gave Keiko Kami and himself one, and the remaining times were generously given to Bridge by the former. Moto China and Hyuga Asuka.

Go all the way down like this.

After a while, only Bai Shuiqiu and Keiko Kandaro were left.

When passing by a mask stall, Keiko Kandaji bought two more masks, handed one of them with a white fox to Bai Shuiqiu, and then put the other on top of her head.

"I'm so happy today, Qiujiang, let's go to Lishan later, shall we? I heard that the rice dumplings in Lishan can bring good luck and are very effective?"

When he said this, Keiko Kashiro's face was full of smiles.

Like the previous festival, the back festival of the Gion festival also has the "Yanko Tour" link.

It’s just that the number of roller coasters is not the same. There are 23 roller rollers in the front festival and only 10 in the back festival. The name of each roller car corresponds to a town in Kyoto. Some of the more famous ones are fixed at the end of the festival every year. The first "North Guanyin Mountain" and "Qiaobenqing Mountain", as well as the "Lishan" which has a love effect.

The original meaning of "Lishan" actually tells the story of "the carp leaping over the dragon gate".

But because in Japanese, "Carp" and "Lian" are the same pronunciation, so they are naturally connected with love. There are rumors that if you can ride on the mountain bike in Lishan, the area is painted with a lot of red. In the carp's weaving and painting decoration, you can find a golden carp to realize your desire for romance.

Therefore, in the annual post-sacrificial activities, the number of people gathered near the "Lishan" is the largest.

Bai Shuiqiu also knew the meaning of "lishan" and nodded, but his tone was a little hesitant: "Really, it's okay, I just don't know how far it is from here."

From the bottom of her heart, she also wanted to go and take a look.

But the problem is...

Walking along the crowded crowds all the way, her yukata was already a little broken, and the clogs straps under her feet were also very uncomfortable, and she always felt like her skin was worn out.

"Qiujiang, do you feel uncomfortable on your feet?"

Bai Shuiqiu's hesitation was only a short moment.

However, Keiko Kashiro seemed to be keenly aware, turned her head and looked at her face carefully, then slid her gaze down, glanced at the clogs under her feet, and suddenly asked.

"Ah, it's actually nothing..."

Bai Shuiqiu smiled nonchalantly, his first reaction was to perfuse the past.

"Is it because I feel the strap is strangling? I have prepared something in advance, and it should be able to help you."

Keiko Kamashiro seemed to have anticipated this situation a long time ago, and pretending to smile mysteriously, she pulled Bai Shuiqiu around from the side of the square, and found a flat and clean stone by a small lake nearby, and signaled Bai Shuiqiu to sit. Next, he squatted down beside her:

"If you can't get used to wearing clogs, you will feel strangled after a long walk, but it will be much better if you paste this one..."

"Eh?"

Bai Shuiqiu hadn’t figured out what Keiko Kashiro was going to do, he saw the girl picked up her right leg and put it on her knee, then swiftly took the clogs under her feet with both hands, and opened it again. From the zipper of the handbag, he took out a roll of band-aids and tore two of them, as if he was going to help her stick it between the toes.

"Wait, wait! I'll do this by myself!"

Mime private 508

Bai Shuiqiu was really taken aback by Keiko Kaminari's actions.

Even in the tone of the speech just now, the tone has become a little out of shape.

After all, not to mention whether the body part of the foot is private or not, the first impression it gives people is dirty, and they have been walking along the square for a while, although they didn't sweat much, they knew that they didn't have any body odor. , But Bai Shuiqiu was still a little flustered, and subconsciously wanted to pull his feet back.

But just as this action was about to be made, Keiko Kandaji held her ankle and said softly:

"Don't move, you'll get better soon..."

After a pause, the girl added: “It’s not easy to bend over when wearing a yukata. If you pull the knot loose, it’s easy to run out.”

Bai Shuiqiu struggled again, and sat down obediently.

Keiko Kamishiro is telling the truth. Traditional yukatas don’t have buttons. They basically rely on straps, clips, and knots to fix them. Naturally, they won’t have any effect when they move around normally, but if the movement range is If it's too big, or if you do some intense exercise in a short period of time, your clothes may be torn apart.

But even so...

It doesn't mean that she is used to this kind of thing.

Because it was night, Keiko Kandaji didn’t sweat much on her hands. When she pressed her slender fingers on her ankles, she felt a soft and itchy sensation, causing Bai Shuiqiu to curl her toes unconsciously. The girl patted again: "Relax a little, Qiujiang, there is no way to post it if you are so nervous..."

"..."

Bai Shuiqiu took a deep breath and finally forced himself to calm down, and his tight feet also relaxed.

Only then did Keiko Kamiyo press her instep, put a band-aid on her toe, and then put on the other foot, until both sides were taped, the girl bent down again to pick up the clogs she just took off.

"Don't let me do this by myself..."
