Young people with light music will not encounter lonely rock music

"I didn't expect everyone would still remember it...Actually, I've even forgotten it myself." Kotobuki Hikari looked ashamed.

"But...it's the New Year, which means that half of the winter vacation has passed. Really...it would be nice if the vacation could be extended a little longer. I will be busy with work at the animation company after that...I really want to When I think about it, it’s really difficult to balance work and study..."

"Goooo..."

The words had just been spoken half way through the winter vacation, and the three girls except Hong Xia all looked bitter.

"It's a lie...it's all a lie...the happy vacation will obviously last a lifetime..."

Goto Ichiri scratched his head and murmured something unknown.

"Xiao Yili! Let's face the reality!"

For those who stay at home, the start of school is definitely a scourge.

"Just because the holiday is almost over, you should cherish the remaining time."

"Yes, that's it."

Kotobuki Hikaru and Itichi Hongka didn't seem to care that the vacation was coming to an end.

On the contrary, I am even more looking forward to the future in the near future.

"After the New Year, everyone must work harder."

Ichichi Hongxia said expectantly.

"But... at least on this New Year's Day, let's focus all our attention on having fun."

"Ugh...I want to play with everything here!"

Kita ran towards the stall nearby as if she had given up on herself.

"Well, let's go together."

Under the leadership of Itachi Hongxia, several members of the band also followed.

......

...

"Kotobuki-kun, catching goldfish is not something that can be solved with brute force alone. Gentle use of skills is the most important."

Faced with Itichi Hongxia's reminder, Kotobuki Mitsuru could only let out a helpless sigh.

The paper fishing net that had been torn apart by the goldfish had fallen to the floor, but he still didn't have any in his hands.

I originally thought that this kind of game played by children would be very simple, but it turned out to be much more difficult than imagined.

The money spent on fishing nets is enough to buy a lot of goldfish.

In fact, even Goto Kazuri, who was very inexperienced in this kind of game, caught two.

"Boss, add more money."

Qinbukiguang was a little distrustful and handed over the money again.

"Brother... no, you can choose whichever one you want. I'll give it to you. Otherwise, you'd better stop playing."

The boss also looked embarrassed.

He even doubted whether Kotobuki Mitsuru did it on purpose.

When some customers who wanted to come to play passed by and saw the piles of broken fishing nets beside Qinbuki, they began to wonder if it was a black shop and stayed away.

"Kotobuki-kun, how about this..." Itachi Hongxia also had cold sweat on her forehead.

"In life, you should become more courageous with every setback." Kotobuki Hikaru resolutely picked up a new fishing net.

"But sometimes it's time to recognize reality."

"How can I bow to reality?"

"If that doesn't work, let me help you." Even Yamada Ryo turned from looking at a joke to worry.

"You should do it yourself."

pat-

Ignoring Liang's words, the fishing net fell into the water.

Kotobuki Hikaru used all his strength to control the strength in his hands and slowly moved towards the swimming goldfish.

Finally, seeing the right opportunity, Kotobuki Hikaru gently lifted the net.

"Ah! Come up!"

The net came out of the water, but the goldfish still stayed on the thin paper.

Boom—boom—boom—!

Suddenly, a dull bell sounded in the distance.

pat--!

Kotobuki Hikaru was suddenly startled by the sound of the bell and her hands trembled.

The fish in the net fell back into the water.

Chapter 257 Princess Hug

Qinbukiguang can guarantee that he did catch the fish just now.

At least, I definitely got the fish out of the water without the net breaking.

"So, I really caught it, but the fishing net was shattered by the bell after I caught it."

"Yes, yes, we all believe in Kotobuki-kun, but it's already the New Year, so don't worry about the past of the old year. The most important thing now is that everyone goes to the shrine to worship together."

Listening to the girls' perfunctory responses, Kotobuki Hikaru felt a little disappointed.

Perfunctory, absolutely perfunctory.

They definitely didn't believe they caught a fish.

Although it took him more than 30 nets to get this fish.

The boss was very happy to congratulate him, and testified for Kotobuki Mitsuru that he had indeed caught a goldfish, and packed the fish that had fallen into the water back into the water and gave it to him like a gift to the god of plague.

However, others may think that the boss is just a little impatient.

In order to prove that he has this ability, Kotobuki Mitsuru wanted to buy a few more nets for them to watch. However, they had already been watching Kotobuki Mitsuru fishing for more than ten minutes. They were tired of it long ago, and the boss didn't want to live or die. I am willing to continue to let him make money, for fear that my business will be ruined because of this guy.

Moreover, the New Year's bell has also sounded, the hands on the watch point to the top, and the date has reached January [-]st of the next year.

Helpless, Kotobuki Hikaru could only give up and follow the large troops towards the mountain.

As for the fish caught by the girls, because it was inconvenient to hold it in their hands and there was no place to raise it at home, they gave it to the children who were cheering Qin Guangang next to the stall.

"Wow... there are too many people going up the mountain to worship. When will we be able to get to the shrine?"

As the bell rang, people who were spending time at the festival also gathered at the foot of the mountain.

Everyone holds each other's hands tightly to ensure that they are not scattered by the crowd.

"Speaking of which, should we meet up with Ichisato's parents first? Didn't we make an appointment before to go to the shrine to pay homage together after the bell rings?" In the crowded crowd, Kotobuki Mitsuru said in Goto Ichisato's ear.

"Ah... let me ask first, but there are so many people... it will be difficult to find them..."

Goto took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed his mother's number.

"Moxi Moxi? Mom, where are you now..."

Because the surrounding area was quite noisy, Ichiri Goto amplified his voice when he made the phone call.

"Ah...Have you had enough fun with Xiaoguang in Yili? We have already reached the mountain, because every year it will be very crowded if we don't go up to the mountain in advance."

There was a faint buzzing sound from the phone, the sound of change falling into the money box during the pilgrimage, and the crisp sound of the bell ringing continuously.

"Hey...didn't we agree?"

"But Yili also wants to be alone with Xiaoguang, right? Mom and dad will go to worship with Erli first, and they will wait for you here later."

pat-

The phone was hung up.

"Eh......"

Goto Ichiri stared blankly at the hung up phone.

Mom, really...this is too ridiculous!

"What's wrong?" Kotobuki Hikaru asked after seeing Goto Ichiri's strange expression.

"They have already gone to the shrine in advance..."

"Eh..." Even Kotobuki Mitsuru made a surprised sound.

Or more helpless.

"If that's the case, let's all go directly to the shrine." Ichichi Hongka suggested.

"it is good!"

......

...

After passing through the crowded flow of people and queuing up in an orderly manner, a few people finally slowly moved to the foot of the mountain.

Looking up, you can see the stone stairs that extend to the shrine. There are bright lanterns hanging on both sides of the stairs, which has the atmosphere of a shrine. However, in modern society, the lanterns also have warm-colored light bulbs inside.

"This is my first time to visit a shrine at night... Usually I go during the day on the first day of the new year." Kita exclaimed as he felt the fresh atmosphere around him.

She has appointments with friends every year, but this is the first time she goes out to visit shrines late at night like this. After all, generally speaking, no parents would trust their daughter to be out alone late at night.

However, everyone has already told their families and received permission.

"Normally, the shrine is closed...and it is only open at night during festivals like New Year."

"Yes, yes, many shrine maidens can work part-time now. I also have a friend in school who goes to a shrine part-time as a shrine maiden during holidays."

Miko is no longer the sacred profession it used to be. No one will set a goal since childhood and dedicate their body and mind to the gods. Just like the monks in the temple, they become ordinary people after work, as long as they are not at work. , it doesn’t matter if you eat, drink, whore or gamble.

"You guys really dare to come..." Qinbukiguang broke into a cold sweat.

That is to say, he really happened to go to this shrine with Yili. Otherwise, he would not know until later that these guys came out to worship at the shrine in the middle of the night, and he would never be relieved.

"Because our original plan was to go back early if we didn't see Kotobuki-kun and Koichiri. When we were playing the game, we had agreed to leave as soon as it was over, but at this moment , I saw you two."

Ichichi Hongxia was so excited that she couldn't stop the happy smile on her face. "Sure enough, everything is God's arrangement!"

"Eh...it really seems like fate has linked us together!"

When it comes to something as ethereal as fate, girls generally have difficulty concealing their excitement. No matter who the four girls are, they all subconsciously interpret simple coincidences as connections of fate.

"Well... forget it, anyway, even I think it would be a little regretful if I didn't go to the shrine with everyone."

Kotobuki Hikaru doesn't believe in gods, fate, or anything like that.

However, since I really encountered such a coincidence, let's just believe in the so-called fate.

After a long time, despite the slow flow of people, the band members finally set foot on the ancient stairs.

"Be careful, it's a little crowded around, don't fall down."

Kotobuki Hikaru and Goto Ichiri walked behind the three of them.

Unlike the wide stairs of Enoshima, the stairs of this small shrine can only accommodate three people walking side by side at most.

However, the length is not as long as Enoshima, so we should be able to reach the shrine soon.

Even so, looking at the endless flow of people, it would take at least ten minutes to reach the end.

"Ah...ha...climbing...climbing the stairs is hell..."

"Hey - Xiao Yili! We have only walked a few steps and you are already so tired?!"

Not long after walking, Goto Ichiri's cheeks were already covered with sweat, and he was breathing heavily.

"Because... because wearing a kimono is very heavy, and walking in clogs is very abrasive to your feet..."

"Really? I feel okay." Kita's thoughts were different from Goto Kazuri's.

As long as the clothes are beautiful enough, you can completely ignore the discomfort.
