Forgotten River Xiyan

As the point of direct sunlight moves northward, the climate in Japan is getting hotter and hotter. Not long ago, it entered the rainy season. The entire Kyoto has been shrouded in rain and smoke for a whole week, and it is humid everywhere.

Qiu Mi felt uncomfortable all over. The United States was either a heavy rain tornado, or a bright sun. This kind of lingering drizzle made Qiu Mi feel that the floor at home was going to be moldy, and the bedding had not been baptized by the sun, and it was wrinkled. A lot of water accumulated on the bluestone slabs in the courtyard. Pieces of cosmos drooped their heads, and their purple petals clinged to the ground, making it impossible to clean.

[I'm really not used to this kind of weather, I can't lift my spirits~]

"Meow~"

"Ah, I'm sorry, little one, forgot your dinner, and so on".

Xiaoxiao was a kitten from the park before, pitifully hiding under the slide alone during the rainy season, Qiumi remembered that cats don't seem to like rainy days.Hurry up and take her home. Fortunately, the little guy is finally not afraid of giving birth to Qiu Mi, and obediently nests in the girl's arms.

"Oops, there's no more milk, you have to go out and buy it."

Akimi’s home is the ancestral house left by her deceased grandmother. The old Japanese-style wooden double-layer structure, with a heavy sense of history is Akimi’s favorite. I always feel like I can feel like my mother when I was here.

Passing by the bulletin board, the propaganda on it has faded, and colorful fireworks can be vaguely seen, and the golden "Sunflower Festival" is wet by rain and dew.

————————————————————————————————————————

"Hey, Aoi Festival, let's go play together, Qiumi-chan hasn't visited yet, right?"

"Aoi... what is the sacrifice?" Qiu Mi blinked.

"Aoi Festival ~ Aoi Festival is one of the three major festivals in Kyoto. It has the longest history. It is jointly hosted by Kamigamo Shrine and Shimogamo Shrine in Kyoto every May 5th. The 15-meter-long dynasty custom ranks from the Kyoto Imperial Palace. Departure, pass Shimogamo Shrine, head towards Kamogamo Shrine, because the whole procession is decorated with sunflower leaves, so it is named Aoi Matsuri. Aoi Matsuri is a traditional festival that has been praying for a good harvest of crops since the middle of the sixth century.”

Mitsui popularizes knowledge.

"Well, in short, there are many interesting things for friends." Kazama clenched his fists,

"Yoxi, let me take you to have fun."

"Then, let's go look at the kimono together after school, Akimi hasn't worn it yet."

"That's right, it's such a happy decision!"

"..." [Listen to my opinion carefully! 】

The helpless Qiuya could only nod her head,

[Well, I haven't played it after all. 】

"Do you really want to try them all?"

Qiu Mi watched her friend pick out several sets of kimonos of various styles, and asked herself to try them out, and felt that her head was getting big.

Nod in unison.

10 minutes later,

"Hmm," the two sighed, "Is black really too high-end? I thought Akimi should be able to afford it." Kazama said it was a pity.

"Try this one instead, pink flowing cloud base."

……

"Sure enough, there is still something wrong, try again."

【Woooo, I want to go home, I'm so tired. 】

……

……

After half an hour,

Akimi came out of the fitting room,

Mitsui and Kazama were stunned at the same time,

"Wow, Akimi-chan is perfect!" Kazama gave a thumbs up without hesitation.

Mitsui nodded silently, "Just this one. The price is fine."

Qiu Mi nodded quickly, for fear that the two of them would let her try other things.

"Then, let's go eat cakes. There is a store near here that has super delicious cakes."

————————————————————————————————————————

The grand procession of dynasty customs passed by, the scent of sunflower leaves filled the air, the red lanterns of the festival were hung all over the street, and various snacks tempted people's tongues.

"Ah, it's broken again!" Kazama complained,

【Why?Can't get any of them! ! 】

Seeing that the seven-year-old boy next door had already fished several fishes, Kazama looked at the paper fisherman with holes in his hand, and unwillingly joined the fishing business again.

Mitsui smiled lowly.

"What's up, Akimi?"

"Soon, I think I have mastered the skill, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"No, it's a lie. Obviously, it's the first time Qiumi fished it."

Kazama resolutely abandons fishing,

"Don't play anymore, let's go over there and have a look!"

As he spoke, he picked up two friends.

"Try it, this banana chocolate is a big selling point every year!"

"What a strange combination!"

"Ah, dorayaki!"

"Look, this mask is super cute,"

Kazama put a white fox mask on Akimi's head and bought a puffer fish mask himself.

"Ah, Xiaochun?"

"Sister Lingyang? Are you coming to the festival too?"

"Yeah, just finished the exam, let's relax!"

"Long time no see, Miss Lingyang."

"Are you? Akimi!! Wow, so beautiful, I almost didn't recognize it!"

"Thank you." Qiu Mi said with a blushing face.

"Ah Lie, senior alone?"

"Ah, I was with Kotaro and the others just now, but just now they were dispersed by the team of the ****."

"Then, let's go together!"

The four went around and met Kotaro and the others in a shooting shop.

Qiu Mi looked at the one-meter-tall panda with shining eyes,

Big black eyes, fat hands, soft pads, furry furry furry...

[Ah, I really want it! 】

The girl's two big eyes sparkled, and the expression she stared at the panda was so cute that Kazama couldn't help but lick Akiya's face.

"Hehe, Qiu Mi wants it, wait a minute." Shi Liu said that he wanted to help Qiu Mi win it back.

"Here, if you are a panda, you have to hit the top jar." The boss handed the air gun to Shi Liu,

"The cans are connected one after the other, you have to shoot down two of them."

"Hey, boss, this is too difficult!" Kotaro muttered.

"Hey, it's business."

Actually load the air gun, put the air gun on the table, lean over to focus, and aim.

"Oh, full of momentum!" Kazama praised.

"Well, for the basketball team, they should be able to aim." Mitsui added.

"boom"

Shi Liu fired, and the people behind held their breath...

"Ah," Kazama watched as the bullet hit the two jars...the one below, "What a pity!"

Shi Liu calmed down and continued to shoot.

but……

Nothing hits the jars around the target every time!

Kazama said that he didn't want to complain anymore.

"Ling Yang is really frustrated, aren't you a three-point shooter?" Kotaro said that he wanted to make a substitution.

"Look at mine!"

"What did you say? Let's decide the outcome!"

"I want to participate too. If you lose, please eat." Nebu Guyongkichi was full of interest.

Thus, it evolved into a three-person game.

However, it is really difficult to knock down two connected jars. The jars themselves are filled with stones and are connected together. Even if one is hit, it will not fall due to the joint effect.

It gradually turned into a rally, and Qiuya ate the takoyaki bought by Mitsui. Although she wanted it very much, it was too time-consuming and expensive.

"Forget it, now we all have a little puppet."

This is a prize for occasionally knocking down the jar next to it, no more, no less, exactly three.

"Wait a minute, Qiuya."

"It hasn't been decided yet."

"Yes."

Today's meeting with the partner company ended early, and Akashi took the time to visit the Aoi Festival. Last year, because of something, he didn't go with Lingyang and the others. I thought it would be the same this year, but it ended early, giving us a lot of time.

As the only son of a famous family, Akashi started to get in touch with the family's business when he entered high school. After a year of study, he has been in charge of his own business since the second year of high school.

Looking at the three people fighting with guns in front, Akashi laughed, and didn't notice the person diagonally opposite. When he heard "wait a minute, Akiya", Akashi was taken aback.

Then he found the girl diagonally opposite.

The girl is wearing a kimono with an orange bottom, with large cherry blossoms scattered around the cuffs, but the bottom is full of big flowers of Hanoi, and there are shallow flow patterns, which is unexpectedly beautiful.

A few small flowers were pinned to the side of the red hair in a bun, and one or two strands of hair hung down to make it more soft, and the mask of the white fox was hung on the other side of the bun.

"Sister Lingyang, forget it, I don't want the panda anymore, let's go play somewhere else."

The girl's words were not loud, but Akashi could hear them clearly.

【Are you shooting for Qiuya? 】

"Really, get out of the way."

"Hey? Xiaozheng, why are you here? Didn't you say you don't have time?"

"It's over early, Shiliu, Kotaro, Nebuya, your accuracy needs to be improved."

"..."

"..."

"...No way, Akashi, I don't want to redouble my training!"

"That's right, basketball is different from shooting!!"

Akashi ignored it, and skillfully loaded, aimed, and fired.

The moment the canister in front of his fingertips shook, Akashi grabbed the gap and quickly shot the canister behind him, the movement was one-stop and fast.

With a "bang", the two jars fell to the ground.

⊙﹏⊙

⊙﹏⊙

……

After a moment of silence, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

"Really, I admire you, boy." The boss said admiringly.

"Xiao Zheng, are you human? Tsk tsk, amazing."

"Here, your panda." Akashi handed the panda to Akiya.

"Oh, yes? Give it to me?" Qiu Mi looked at the boy with wide eyes,

The young man was wearing a pure white and innocent kimono, and the light ink like a Chinese painting formed a black dragon with a majestic appearance.

Nod,

"very nice."

The boy didn't know if he was talking about the girl, or the kimono, or the silent panda, but the girl's ears turned red.

"Thank you" bowed his head slightly.

"Hey~Xiaozheng, really." Shi Liu said that he understood something,

[It seems that it is better to leave the matter about Qiu Mi to Xiao Zheng. 】

Qiu Mi hugged the panda tightly with both hands, with a happy expression on her face,

"Thank you, Akashi-kun."

Looking at the girl's happy smiling face, the corners of Akashi's mouth rose slightly.

"That's great, Akimi."

"Then, according to the agreement, the three of you have a treat, Xiaochun, where is the most expensive shop?"

"My memory is correct, you should turn left in front, and there is a noodle shop."

"Then let's go."

in the noodle shop,

"Meat crazy, you eat too much!"

Seeing the eight bowls piled up in front of Yongji, Kotaro couldn't help complaining.

"Also, the eating looks are too bad!" The noodles fell on the table, and Kotaro on the opposite side was about to cry.

"Well, calm down, Kotaro, Qiuya, what else do you want to eat, you eat too little. Want a fried noodles, okay?"

"Akimi just needs a small portion of soba noodles." Akashi stopped Miyu.

"Girls should not eat too hot food at night, it is easy to get angry."

"Hehe, I see, Xiao Zheng is really careful."

"This is the signature dessert here, ah~" Mitsui handed a piece of strawberry to Qiumi's mouth.

"Ah~ um, delicious!"

"Click"

"The photo is just right, let's take a group photo! Boss, please!" Shi Liu handed the camera to the boss above.

"Okay, you guys get closer, there are a bit too many people, those two red-haired kids, yes, it's you, you can get closer."

Akimi slowly approached Akashi, Akashi could smell the fragrance of the girl, lowered his head slightly, and leaned his head gently on the girl's head, the girl was a little stiff, but she didn't dare to move, her face was slightly red.

The screen freezes here.
