Young people with light music will not encounter lonely rock music

Goto Ichiri suddenly felt his sleeve being pulled.

"Ah... Erli?"

Gotou lowered his head and saw his sister.

"Sister... let's go play! I want to catch goldfish!"

The girl showed a pure smile and looked at her sister expectantly.

"It's been a long time since sister and Erli played at the festival."

"what......"

Goto Ichiri was a little embarrassed and found it difficult to refuse his sister's request, but he turned his head and saw Kotobuki Mitsuru next to him.

On such a special day... I finally have a reasonable reason to go on a date with Hikaru... How can I let this child disturb me?

The next moment, Goto Kazuri squatted down so that he and Goto Kazuri were at the same height.

"Erli...if you want to play, let dad take you to play."

"Hey... no, I want to be with my sister..."

Jiri Goto was interrupted by the devil's whisper just in the middle of his words.

"Promise sister, I will buy you snacks every week throughout this year."

"what--!"

Goto Jiri suddenly became entangled.

On the other hand, I finally got to play with my sister at the festival.

On the side, you can enjoy delicious snacks all year round...

Such a decision was still too cruel for Goto Jiri, who was only a primary school student.

No matter which side she abandons, it will make her feel extremely painful.

"Sister Erli, take these and go eat something you like."

Kotobuki Hikari noticed Goto Ichiri's embarrassment and came to the rescue.

He took out his wallet from the inner pocket of his clothes, took out a piece of money, and handed it to Goto Jiri.

"It happens to be the New Year, so just think of it as lucky money... But I forgot to prepare a red envelope in advance, I'm sorry."

"..."

However, the young girl fell into silence for a long time.

Nothing but because I was so shocked.

"Ten...ten thousand yen...?!"

Goto Ichiri has never mastered so much money. Although his parents have given him so much New Year's money, they have always used it. "Ichiri Goto is still too young, so I will let my mother save this money for you to get married." That's why I took it away.

Seeing Kotobuki Mitsuru giving Erri so much lucky money, Goto Ichiri also looked surprised, but she didn't stop him.

After all...she has also experienced the painful past of having all her New Year's money taken away by her mother.

"Just take the new year's money and don't spend it randomly."

"Sister...sister...is it really okay?"

"Of course, but..." Goto Ichiri lowered his voice.

"I'm going to go play with daddy right now!"

The girl showed a hearty smile, completely forgetting what she had just said about wanting to play with her sister, and turned around and ran to her father who was chatting with an acquaintance.

"call......"

After watching his sister leave, Gotou Isato let out a long sigh.

"Light..."

Goto Ichiri tugged on Kotobukimitsu's hand.

"Uncle and auntie seem to be busy... Let's go to the festival alone."

"it is good..."

Nodding shyly, Goto Ichiri just followed Kotobuki Hikaru's figure and walked deeper into the festival.

......

...

"Speaking of which, this is only my second time attending the festival..."

"The second time?" Goto Kazuri was confused.

"Yili forgot? The first time I participated was on the day of the outdoor performance with Yili."

"Hey... this is actually the first time that day?!"

"I remember I said that." Kotobuki Hikaru frowned and asked.

"I...I forgot..."

"However, when I passed by the kimono rental store that day, I still remember that I was really looking forward to Kazuri wearing a kimono, but because Kazuri was too shy, I refused without hesitation."

"Because... I'm really shy! Wearing clothes like this... there are all kinds of looks around me all the time..."

As if to declare his sovereignty, Kotobuki tugged Ichiri in his direction.

The distance between the two shortened again, and their shoulders were almost touching.

"Although you said you were shy, didn't Yili still put it on?"

"Because...I thought, Hikaru must really want to see it..."

"Well, I do want to see it."

"So do you think I'm dressed appropriately?"

"Of course it's suitable. She is absolutely the cutest in the world." Kotobuki confirmed without hesitation.

"That's great..." Goto Kazari sighed with relief.

"It makes me want to try on a kimono next time." Kotobuki murmured softly.

"?"

Goto Ichiri frowned, not understanding the meaning of Kotobuki Mitsuru's words for a moment.

However, the next moment, the girl's cheeks were ripe for centuries.

"Speaking of which, do the hotels provide kimonos?"

"Ah...ah...this kind of clothes are very expensive...no, no, no, no!"

"Then I'll take it over after I buy it..."

"Light...why do you always have such strange things in your mind now!"

Gotou blushed with embarrassment and became a little angry.

"It's all because Yili is so cute, I couldn't help but think so."

"Well......"

Again.

Gotou Ichisato has heard it countless times.

Every time she heard it, she would think that no matter what he said next time, she would never continue to be obedient.

But every time there was no resistance.

"You are talking like this again..."

"I'm just stating the facts." Kotobuki said matter-of-factly, his face red and out of breath.

"But no matter what, the most important thing now is to enjoy the festival with Yili."

Holding the girl's hand, Kotobuki Hikaru threw away the messy things and no longer had any strange thoughts.

Chapter 255 explains what surprise is

The location of the shrine is on a nearby hill.

If you want to go up, you have to climb a long staircase to see the torii in the distance.

Although it is not as long as the stairs I climbed before in Enoshima, it still feels a bit daunting when viewed from a distance.

You can see bright lights on the mountainside, which is probably where the shrine is.

At the foot of the mountain, on an open space paved with bluestone slabs, is a small night market composed of vendors.

Even though it was a New Year's festival, there was nothing special in the night market, just the same snacks and games that are common in anime.

It seems very attractive to children. Most of the people around the vendors are young children, and there are also some young lovers gathered nearby. However, for these people, the process of getting along with their lovers is far more complicated than the process of getting along with their lovers. The festival itself is even more memorable.

The same is true for Kotobuki Hikaru and Goto Kazuri.

"Want to play a game?"

They had reached the middle of the festival, but neither of them had stopped anywhere yet. In order to break the silence, Kotobuki Hikari suggested.

"Ah... Hikaru, do you want to play?" asked Ichiri Goto.

"It's nothing... I just wonder if I will find the game boring if I just keep going like this."

"It's boring...I...I don't know how." Goto Ichiri shook his head quickly. "Being able to go to the festival with Hikari is quite fun in itself."

"But we won't just go on like this. Why don't we buy something? Or play something..."

Kotobuki Hikaru's eyes scanned along the flow of people at the festival.

But games like throwing sandbags, shooting balloons, and fishing for goldfish are indeed a bit uninteresting.

If it had been a few years ago, Kotobuki Mikaru would have been so excited when he came to a place like this that he would have played all of these.

But at my current age, I can’t help but feel that these games are a bit childish.

Is this the curse of growing up?

The older I get, the harder it is to realize these simple joys.

Perhaps it is also because I have become more and more greedy and desire more unforgettable happiness.

"I played all of these when I was a kid...so I have no interest in them." Ichiri Goto explained.

In fact, she just found it a bit difficult to adapt to standing in crowded places, so she didn't want to get close.

"Isn't this your first time to visit the shrine? Is there anything you're interested in?" Gotou asked.

"Although this is my first time visiting a shrine on New Year's Day...but it's not my first time going to a festival."

"Eh...yeah..." Gotou Ichiri finally realized.

In the summer, Hikari did perform outdoors with herself, and then attended a nearby festival and watched the fireworks.

"Even so, this is only the second time I have participated in the festival. The first time before was also with Yili."

"Actually... I was also very concerned about it before." Goto Ichiri finally asked. "Hikari's sister is also a very gentle person... Even if she is with her, Hikaru has never been there?"

"..."

Kotobukiko was silent for a while.

There was a fleeting loneliness in his eyes.

"It's true... There is no shrine near my home, so I rarely go to places like this."

"Didn't Hikari's sister ask Hikaru to come with her?" Goto Kazari asked inquiringly.

"I did ask...but I refused every time."

"Eh...?!" Goto Ichiri made a surprised sound.

She was somewhat incomprehensible.

He obviously likes his sister very much, but how could he refuse her?
