On the Feasibility of the Marriage Between the Port and the Fishery Company

One year later, Paris Airport, on Christmas Eve.

It is still a candy house with lake green and pink accents, a gold-edged signboard, and a girly dessert station full of "dream flavor".

Even without entering the door, you can faintly smell the sweet smell of fresh bread, and the golden vines extending from the shelves hold the freshly baked bread.

The surrounding eternal flowers were replaced with bright reds that are more in line with the festive atmosphere.

A huge Christmas tree was erected at the entrance of the store, decorated with candies, bells, balls, and bows, and gift boxes were piled up under the tree.

Santa Claus is also painted on the window in advance, creating a festive atmosphere.

Push the door, and there is a doll with the appearance of a pastry elf swinging on a golden skein, ringing the hanging wind chimes, jingle jingle.

"Lemon, long time no see."

The violet-haired woman dragged her suitcase into the store, as if she had finished her work, changed into her casual clothes, wore a plaid scarf, and brushed the loose hair that fell in front of her eyes.

Because his mouth was buried in the scarf, when he spoke, he exhaled white mist.He didn't carry an umbrella, and his unprotected hair and eyelashes were covered with snow, and there were drops of water in the blink of an eye.

The left hand that pulls the suitcase is wrapped with a light blue rubber band, and the middle finger is a shining engagement ring.

"Is the flight delayed again?"

The blond shopkeeper saw the person coming, smiled and handed over a large bag of packaged pastries.The most popular and sold-out pastries in the basic store are all the same, but they feel a bit heavy when you pick them up.

"Yes."

The woman sighed, a little helpless.

"I haven't heard of any strikes today."

You must know that because the holiday is approaching, everyone is waiting for the New Year and making preparations, so there is nothing to do for a while.

"It seems that there is a strong airflow, and it seems that it has suddenly started to snow here. In short, it is due to the weather."

After receiving the familiar heavy gift bag, the woman replied indifferently.

In short, it is normal French operation.

The place where she stayed, whether it was Italy or France, was quite enthusiastic about the cause of strikes with placards, and they were already used to it to the point of numbness.

The left and right finished their work, and there was no problem with a slight delay.

"Cullom, you seem to be very busy recently, and Paris has been very frequent in the past few months."

"It's almost the holidays, why are you still working overtime?"

Lemon held a cup of hot cocoa and handed it over, feeling the other party's hard work.

"After all, it is a job that needs to travel all over the world. When I am free, I will have nothing to do for a month or two. When I am busy, I will sleep on the plane."

she smiled.

Because of the trip to the pastry kingdom a year ago, Collom, who was not followed by elves, can also see the little cutie flying around with small wings in this world, and because he stayed in Paris for a long time in the past few months, he ran a few more times Even become familiar with lemons.

"A few days ago, I saw that Mr. Zhongyuan was also in Paris."

Because he stopped by the wine cellar next door.

"Well, I also know that he went back before me."

Because of Mori Ogai's urgent move.

(Garbage port black, sooner or later pill.)

"It's hard work..."

Lemon nodded half understanding. After a year of acquaintance, she only knew that the two were in the same industry but not in the same company.

"You two didn't consider a job-hopping or something like that?"

It should be better if we are together.

If it involves competition within the industry, will it be embarrassing even if it is done in a business-like manner?

"No, we and our respective bosses have known each other for more than ten years. It's not like a simple direct relationship between superiors and subordinates, but more like relatives."

Coulom shook his head and vetoed the proposal. It was also the past year when his immediate superior directly signed the marriage contract. It would not be surprising if he touched his stomach and said he would ask for maternity leave in the next second.

And she obviously started to fall in love at about the same time, but it is only an important reason for her engagement until now.

It wasn't that the two of them deliberately delayed, but somehow they started to get busy.

Today it is Yokohama that recruits rats, tomorrow it is Italy that is out of enthusiasm, and it has not been a few days to have a peaceful life, and the "day after tomorrow" is that the situation in Paris, France, is unstable.

After getting engaged, the two were stunned because they couldn't find a long vacation that happened to coincide with each other to have a good talk.

Even though they are in Paris together, they haven't met each other very much, and almost the time of coming and going is staggered. Look at this situation——

The website for booking tickets on the mobile phone just sent a message that the plane was delayed due to weather detection, and the specific boarding time is subject to the big screen notification at the airport.

"Well, I guess I won't be able to make it back this Christmas."

Thinking that last Christmas was a gift made up by the other party after Christmas Eve due to a sudden mission, Coulom nodded his lips in distress.

The two of them are really... in a certain way evenly matched.

It shouldn't be so swearing to set the flag in the first place. (bitter ha ha)

The blond girl with twin ponytails patted the woman on the shoulder, with a soothing expression on her face, trying to change the subject.

"Well, Kulomsan, did you use the chocolate that Senior Strawberry brought back last time? How did it end up? Was it a success?"

"..."

The violet-haired girl froze and blinked rapidly.

About this embarrassing question.

----

Go back ten months in time—

It is said that dreams are always fulfilling. Coulom started his own operation after going through the stage where his eyes felt that he was awesome and his brain felt that he could do it.

However, the reality is very skinny.

Because, the hand will clearly slap the face, and tell her sincerely: You can't.

The heating temperature was too high. After starting the fire, in order not to make any mistakes, she carefully read the notebook that was specially recorded, thinking that there were only a few key points and it would not last long.

As a result, when I went back to watch the pot after memorizing the whole process.

The chocolate liquid is already in a state of suffering that cannot be saved.

So I made a mistake and made a "Recalling Bitterness and Thinking Sweetness" first.

Thanks to the versatile mold, after solidification, it is topped with a sweet mirror surface, at least the finished product looks exquisite.

The remaining part is added with cake liquid, and after baking into chiffon cake, it complements cream and white chocolate liquid. After barely "borrowing" the opinions of experts, I made a real one. It can't balance sweet and bitter at all. cake……

Well, the only conclusion I can draw is that she really doesn't have much talent in cooking, so it's best to spend money in the future.

However, according to a young man who received the gift, he prefers bitter wine, and red wine will be a bit astringent, so he likes the taste very much unexpectedly, and he will return the gift on White Day one month later.

I always feel that I am trying to "praise" her, and I don't know if it is necessary to comfort my self-esteem.

Above, the memory ends.

----

"Well... not long after that Valentine's Day, we got engaged."

She looked a little shy, but she used her negotiating skills without batting an eyelid.

That is indeed true, but there should be basically no chocolate as a driving factor for this result.

Practice is the only criterion for testing truth, and facts will tell us.

A rookie, handicapped plus kitchen killer, when these three attributes appear on one person at the same time, one should have foresight and not try anything beyond one's own level.

Because you never know how unimaginable the final product will be.

"That's success. Gifts are always the most important thing."

Lemon brought out tea and snacks from the back kitchen again, and it looked like he planned to stay with Coulom for a while.

"Also, although you may not be able to make it back before Christmas, you should be able to make it back before the New Year. For Japan, the most important thing is the New Year?"

Because she also stayed in Japan for a period of time, she is quite familiar with the customs of other countries.

Although everyone will catch up with the trendy, tradition is still the most important most of the time, not to mention that if two people can meet, no matter what festival it is, it can be a Valentine's Day.

"Right."

If I catch up with Hatsachi, I will celebrate the New Year in Yokohama.

When we arrived in Japan, and because of the seven or eight hour time difference between Japan and France, it was already late at night on the 25th.

On Christmas Eve at the airport, it seemed a little deserted, and there was no one at the connecting port.

Only the sound of carrying suitcases and moving on pulleys is endless.

But a familiar person was unexpectedly waiting at the airport, still wearing an old black top hat, a large black windbreaker, and black leather gloves. The only bright color was ochre, and her half-length hair was tied into a small braid and slung across her shoulders.

The crowd is not dense, you can see it at a glance.

At his feet was Yaya who had sneaked in and was not in the cage.

Chu also casually raised his left hand to look at his watch, covered his mouth with his right hand and just raised his head and yawned sleepily. When he saw Coulom, he immediately smiled at her.

"Yo, are you back?"

Coulom was a little surprised. She clearly said that there was no need to wait for delays, but the corners of her mouth couldn't stop turning up.

"Well, I'm back."

Her voice was unbelievably soft, and she pursed her lips.

Concealing the strong thought of "wanting to marry him" that suddenly surged in his heart, he puffed his mouth.

"I'm late this time, you won't be angry."

"what?"

Nakahara also habitually took the suitcase in Coulom's hand, remembering the fight he went back to Japan in advance and went straight to Rokudo Mukuro.

In fact, she was fine when she came back late, but Liu Daoku beat him in the face mercilessly again.

"I didn't give you my gift either."

"However, it's not too late for me to ask you out for this year's first meeting?"

He tentatively opened his mouth.

"Meow? Meow~"

Seeing the owner's orange cat dragging its tail, it rubbed the crotch of Colomb's trousers affectionately, and its soft belly just wrapped around Colomb's ankle, as if it was acting like a spoiled child for a young man.

Unknowingly, cat hair stuck to Coulom's trousers, white and orange.

"Your relationship... suddenly became a little better."

Coulom picked up the coquettish cat and rubbed her little head.

When the little girl was not very happy that the thickest clump of hair on the top of her head was being touched, she flapped her paws in protest and thought about it.

She squatted down, let the cat go, and began to reflect.

But it was five or six days earlier than her, so why did my cats all become Zhongyuan cats? ? ?

Does her cat have the temperament of "eating the inside out"?

"Oh, by the way, Chuya, I have a question for you—"

On the way, she looked at Yaya at her feet, and suddenly remembered the psychological test of love mentioned by Lemon when she was joking.

"If there is a cage in front of you now, how many cats do you think are in it?"

"???"

So why is this problem popping up all of a sudden?

Is there some hidden meaning he doesn't know about?

"Maybe one or two? Are you thinking of getting another cat?"

Zhong Yuanzhong also looked at the orange cat walking innocently under his feet, and answered uncertainly.

"No, just ask casually."

As he spoke, he blushed secretly.

------

Because he often settled in Yokohama, Collom simply bought a high-end apartment in Yokohama under the name of "Six Road Nagi".It is very close to Chuya's apartment, almost a neighbor's location.

Those who are familiar with the way, open the door and thank you.

Coulom, who was standing at the door, put down his luggage and ran into the house without closing the door, and handed over the gift box that was placed on the entrance.

"Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas."

It was probably a large box lifted out of the car, with exquisite packaging, two handwritten greeting cards and a bow and arrow attached.

"Did you bring the New Year's card with you? Did you also bring the magic-breaking arrow?"

# # #

So, until the New Year's Eve Shou Sui, both of them stayed at home.

They were very close but they were divided into two places. When the bell rang on New Year's Eve, I didn't know where the tacit understanding came from, so I pushed the door open.

Looking back, there is some surprise in the eyes.

The distant bell is still echoing.

"Boom -" a sound.

The gifts are all kimonos.

It was obviously a Western-style Christmas, but the gifts they each gave each other were kimonos with similar colors.

"Boom—boom—" two sounds.

Coulom pulled up his long hair, and the lotus hair ornament hung tassels from the hair, and a circle of white plush was wrapped around his neck, looking sober and elegant.

It is also rare for Nakahara to wear a formal kimono. The background color of the clothes is slightly darker than the color of the hair, but it is not obtrusive at all, and it also has a camellia pattern that is private.

"Boom - boom - boom -" three times.

The two who happened to meet at the door of the house walked forward side by side without making a sound.

The woman walked very steadily on the clogs this time, but subconsciously, after meeting, she got closer and closer.

The young man habitually reached out to her, wrapping her hand with a sense of strength and warmth.

The pressing of the Suwen bells is different, but the bells are all 108 times, which symbolizes the elimination of 108 kinds of worries and worries.

Accompanied by the last long and distant bell, the two saw the bright red "torii".

Many lanterns have been hung on the torii of the shrine, spreading from the beginning of the steps to the shrine, and the warm and flickering lights illuminate the way forward.

Ring the bell, clap your hands, pray, and make a wish.

Holding the newly drawn Xinxiangshicheng Daji lottery, he happily leaned over to look at the lottery in Nakahara Nakaya's hand.

didn't see...

"The new year is about to start again."

"Chuya, what wish did you make?"

"Still the same, almost—"

In short, I don't know if my own existence can be included in the list of human beings. Such a visit to worship and make a wish is more of a sense of ritual.

However, this year's wish, if possible, will indeed have a little superstitious hope that it will come true.

"Can Yokohama be peaceful or something?"

Sitting on a bench at one side, Coulom turned his head slightly, propped his hands on the cold bench, and looked at the young man seriously with his big purple eyes.

"Well... this is more like the leader's wish."

"Hahaha, that's right. It's indeed more like Mr. Mori's. No, Mr. Mori will probably promise that Alice-chan will unconditionally agree to his wish for a dress-up game in the new year."

"But Chuya's... well, I can't guess."

The closer you are and the more you understand, the more you can't guess, or rather, you don't dare to guess.

The woman shook the wooden clogs on her feet in some distress, but smiled indifferently on her face and raised her head.

"Ah, it's snowing..."

The sky gradually drifted down soft white, misty.

It falls densely and densely on people's hair, shoulders, and cheeks...

She reached for it and watched the little white dots bloom on her hand.

Such trembling flowers, like smoke curling up, disperse the fragrance.

Everything around became hazy, shrouded in fine snow, surrounded by lingering bells, rippling.

"It's almost time to go back."

Nakaya held the tag in his hand, stuffed it into his wide sleeve, and reached out to Kurom.

"In the new year, please give me more advice."

"a new Year--"

She deliberately paused here for a short while, looking up at him.

Eyes focused, with some encouragement.

"It's a new year, in the future, please give me more advice."

The flow of people around gradually increased, and people hurried home after their visits, but everything around them seemed a little blurred.

Hanging flowers and branches, rippling water.

Her hand touched Chuya's, and her fingertips touched, and in an instant they interlocked.

"In the future, please give me more advice."

In the swaying fine snow, the answering sound spread far and far along with the fluttering wind——

月が仙丽ですね.

The moonlight is so beautiful tonight.

The wind is also gentle, and the snow is also moving.

# # #

Liudaoku probably wanted to find him a real PK a hundred times again.

Zhong Yuanzhong also smiled secretly.

"Ah, I agreed to the marriage proposal on impulse, what about the others?"

"We are the ones who want to get married, so what does it have to do with others?"

"It makes sense. Finally, our aquatic product company has decided to marry the port."

"So, Chuya, what's your New Year's resolution?"

……

It doesn't matter what the wish is, the important thing is——

Central Plains also touched the cuffs, which is also a sign of "everything goes well, all wishes come true".

willing--

From now on, every end of the scene I see, except the sky and the waves.

all of you.
