[Curse Return] How can a sorcerer not be crazy?

Huailiang was walking along the bank of the Sumida River wearing a yukata with a goldfish pattern, while Gojo Satoru was walking beside her in a white yukata with a black dragonfly pattern.

In addition to the different color of the yukata, she had a subtle feeling of being out of control.

Last week, it was also on such a midsummer night. They went to see the biggest fireworks display in history in the fall. He seemed to like dragonfly patterns particularly?

I thought so in my heart and asked it out loud.

Gojo Satoru tilted his head: "I've always felt that Liang-chan doesn't seem like someone who has lived in Neon since childhood. It seems that she doesn't know a lot of common sense about folk customs."

"Well, but later I found out that you are a descendant of the Huai family. It's not so strange. You are looking for the King of Ryukyu."

There are always many dragonflies on the riverside in summer. He easily brushed the wings of a dragonfly flapping in the air, and the frightened insect flew away.

"Today is the Obon Festival, which means 'Dragonfly Day'. On this day, dragonflies are not only believed to be the mounts of our ancestors, but are also considered 'gods'. Chasing or killing dragonflies is prohibited."

Huai Liang frowned: "So your action just now - was offensive?"

"It doesn't count."

Gojo Satoru waved his hand and continued, "Dragonfly was called 'Akitsu' during the time of Emperor Jimmu, and Neon has an alias called 'Akitsuzu'."

"Also, dragonfly is another name for 'victorious insects', which means to move forward courageously and never back down. I remember when I was young, my family would prepare traditional clothes such as yukata and haori with such patterns on them."

Gojo Satoru's eyes revealed a proud look: "Because I am the Gojo family's six-eyed one that appears once every hundreds of years, this is also a blessing for me to have powerful abilities."

Huailiang silently complained: Maybe it's because dragonflies are insects with compound eyes, implying "six eyes".

Along the river bank, many citizens placed river lanterns with lit candles into the river, one to pray for blessings, the other to symbolize sending the souls of their ancestors back to the underworld.

The river lanterns flowing quietly on the river emit a warm orange glow, drifting slowly around with the flow of the river. From a distance, there is an ethereal and quiet beauty.

After watching quietly for a while, Huai Liang suddenly spoke up: "In China, there is also the custom of releasing river lanterns, but China has its own 'Ghost Festival', which falls on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month every year."

"You can offer sacrifices and pray for blessings, enjoy the river lanterns, and set off fireworks, but you can't just pick up the lanterns that others have put into the water, or you'll be unlucky."

Gojo Satoru put his hands behind his head and said in a brisk voice: "It sounds similar. It may have been passed down from the Tang Dynasty. Anyway, it seems that there are a lot of festival activities in Japan in the summer."

"The Sumida River Lantern Festival, the Harvest Festival, the Tanabata Sky Lantern Festival... The Sky Lantern Festival is quite nice. Let's go together next year. They release thousands of Kongming lanterns floating in the sky, which is very romantic."

Huai Liang was a little surprised that this guy actually understood romance.

But then again, I have to drag her out tonight, let her change into a yukata, and take a walk along the river to light lanterns. Is that also a romantic part?

"After we put up the lights, we'll go to Roppongi Center to watch the Bon Odori. Many people will dance around the tower, and there will be many food stalls on the street."

Since Huailiang came out, it wasn't like he had no interest at all, but -

"I told you, although Jie Jun sent a message saying that he had important things to do today, there are so many people around..."

As she said this, she broke away from Gojo Satoru and tried to hold her hand quietly, but she smiled and said, "No."

"There are so many people here, and I can't see it."

Huai Liang curled his lips. She really wasn't talking nonsense.

This guy is now almost 1 meters tall, and even wearing a loose traditional yukata cannot hide his good figure with broad shoulders and narrow waist.

His silver hair was dazzling enough, and he also had an extremely superior face. Even though his words and actions were casual, it could not conceal the noble temperament brought by his birth.

She is simply a walking "eye-catcher" that attracts both men and women.

In fact, she was already beginning to regret agreeing to celebrate this stupid festival with him.

Gojo Satoru grumbled a few words in disappointment, but soon regained his energy and took out an exquisite box from his arms, "Look, this is a gift for you."

Huai Liang has gradually gotten used to the fact that the other party would take out gifts for her from time to time.

Sometimes it was just a stone with a strange naturally generated pattern that he picked up on the roadside, and sometimes it was some small items brought back from business trips... Of course, there would occasionally be some items that looked very expensive.

But after all, she is an heiress worth tens of billions, so she is not afraid.

Huailiang opened the exquisite and narrow wooden box, and inside lay a jade hairpin made of gold, pearls and jade, with a kingfisher dragonfly pattern.

"Do you like it? I asked someone to take a picture of this. It seems to be an ancient hairpin from several dynasties in China. It suits you perfectly."

Gojo Satoru had long been unhappy with the goldfish hairpin that Geto Suguru had given her. Every summer, she would always wear it on her head.

Huai Liang could naturally smell the jealousy coming from the other person, but fortunately she was smart and knew how to judge the situation.

Knowing that she had an appointment tonight, even though she was wearing a yukata with a goldfish pattern, she did not wear the matching goldfish hairpin that Xia Yujie gave her, but instead used a plain jade hairpin.

Her fingers touched the hairpin, and the coolness brought by the gold and jade made her nod: "It's really beautiful, I like it very much."

Gojo Satoru grinned contentedly, his blue eyes like a lake overflowing with golden ripples, flashing with tiny and joyful light.

He took the opportunity very naturally: "Since you like it, I'll put it on for you."

Huailiang raised her hand to stop him, saying that her hair would become loose if she removed the existing hairpin, but the other party just inserted the dragonfly hairpin into the other side of her bun.

Gojo Satoru childishly circled around her twice, as if examining her carefully, and then said with a smile, "What a beauty."

Huai Liang was not shy at all. She reached out and stroked the dragonfly hairpin on her temples, and raised her chin towards him: "You have good taste."

The neon lights on the shore illuminated one side of her cheek, and her clear gray eyes seemed to be dyed with orange light, revealing a bird-like alertness and agility.

Gojo Satoru felt as if there was a little bird in his heart, flapping its furry wings, flying and hitting his chest.

He could hardly suppress the upward curling of the corners of his mouth, and his eyes seemed to be glued to her face - there was an emotion that he had been suppressing, and it was almost about to burst out.

His fingertips trembled slightly a few times, and then he clenched them tightly at his side in a fist.

There was a smile on the corner of his lips. After a while, he suddenly said, "Yes, I have always had a good eye."
