[Tutorial] Butterfly Effect

Summer festivals do have status in Japan, even in a small town like Naimori, the scale of the festival can be considered grand.I didn't expect that the small town seemed to be full of people today, and the road was crowded with all kinds of people participating in the festival.

"Xiaochun thinks this wind chime is good—" As the flow of people in the summer festival increased, Xiaochun also became more excited with the cheerful atmosphere.

She pointed to a wind chime covered with cakes, and her face became flushed.

……Well.Sure enough, Xiaochun only has the monster and the cake in his heart.Ah Qing felt ashamed looking at the string of strange cake wind chimes.

"This one is also good." Jingzi pointed to a string of shell-shaped wind chimes, and gently tapped them with the summer night breeze to make a pleasant sound.

Ah Qing was not very interested in the wind chimes, and turned his attention to the masks hanging on the barbed wire at the edge of the shop.Foxes and ugly monsters must be the mainstream. Of course, there are also fire men and turtles, as well as cats and civet cats...there are so many types that Ah Qing is dazzled.Glancing at the pair of young girls who were discussing the wind chime enthusiastically, she reached out to the mask through the people around her.

After picking and choosing, she still bought the most common fox mask.

"What do you think of this mask?" Ah Qing put the mask on the side of his face and looked to the side.

Jingzi and Xiaochun disappeared.

Jingzi and Xiaochun, who were chatting and laughing just now, seem to have left the shop.

Ah Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she pushed aside the crowd and walked towards the middle of the road.Turning around, I didn't see the figure of the two people.

His palms were slightly sweaty.

Maybe they went to the front shop?

Ah Qing wanted to squeeze through the crowd and search forward, but the petite girl tried to stand on tiptoes but couldn't see the familiar figure in the crowd.

"Excuse me..." She tried to separate the people crowded around her, and the "da da" sound of clogs became a little disturbed at this time.

"Jingzi, Xiaochun... where are you..." Ah Qing looked around while trotting.

In this kind of place where the crowd is like mountains and seas, even if you dial the phone, you will not notice that someone is calling.She wanted to cry but had no tears.As long as you stand in place for a while, you will drift with the flow of people.

Suddenly a hand grabbed his wrist.

Ah Qing was startled, and then looked in the direction of reaching out his hand.

The other party seemed to have some difficulty squeezing himself out of the crowd, and his short silver hair was a little messy.The gray-green eyes lingered brightly at night.

However, following the appearance of the visitor, Blame followed aggressively.

"Where did you go? Everyone is looking for you!"

Although the other party's tone contained a lot of dissatisfaction and his expression was fierce, Ah Qing still felt that the prison temple that had found him in a daze now looked like an angel.

He didn't get the expected angry or submissive expression, but he was stunned for a moment.

"I wanted to buy a mask just now, but by the time I realized it, Jingzi and Xiaochun had disappeared..." Ah Qing stroked her hair a little embarrassedly.

Ji Si gave a pair of eyes to the fox mask tied on Qing's head very rudely, but his tone softened, "Acting alone will cause trouble for everyone."

Ah Qing hurriedly apologized to the prison temple, after all, it was her own negligence that made everyone worry.

"Judaime and the others said to gather at the shrine in a while, and we'll wait here." It happened that the place where he lost just now was near the shrine, and Yuji walked up the steps leading to the shrine while talking.

When he climbed up the last step of the shrine, Kiyo was already gasping for breath.

"You woman is really weak..." Prison Temple's habitual complaints were indispensable.

Ah Qing raised her head and gave him a blank look, then was slightly stunned.

"Ju Si, can you let go of your hand?"

She was also stunned when she saw the prison temple, and then shook her hand away.A slight blush crept up his face.I don't know if it's a little hot or shy.

Oops, even Prison Temple would be ashamed.This kid can be cute sometimes.Ah Qing was suddenly happy.

"Hug, I'm sorry..." Even the voice became awkward.

Ah Qing was used to this kind of thing, he shook his head indifferently, and then walked towards the worship hall.

Sure enough, most of the people who make wishes are good men and women, and there are some old people who pray for health.Looking at the people queuing up to make wishes who were almost melting into the quiet night, her emotions were inexplicably mixed.

——She remembered that she had gone to make a wish with her boyfriend, and she was like the couples whose faces were full of hope and sweetness.It's just that things are different now...it should be called ex-boyfriend.

"Looking at you like this, you don't envy these people too, do you?" A teasing voice from the prison temple just rang out, which made Ah Qing feel a little bit lost.

She shook her head slightly and bit her lower lip.

"Hmph. Love is fragile but not strong..." Prison Temple's tone was mostly disdainful, "It seems to me that it is useless for these people to pray here. They always talk more and do less. Most of them want to separate .” The young boy probably thought of his mother, and felt that such things as feelings are not solid.

"Yeah..." Ah Qing's voice suddenly choked up.

Prison Temple seemed to have noticed a subtle change in the voices of the people around him, and stopped what he was going to say.

"It's true... It's useless to pray for anything. If you can't be together, you can't be together..." Ah Qing looked at the couples who were holding hands tightly or clinging to each other, waiting for the blessing of the gods. Gradually a little blurred.

"What wish did you make?"

"It won't work if you say it~"

"Idiot, even if you don't tell me I know—"

The scene at that time played back in my mind like pressing the repeat button.

Ah Qing stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears that were about to fall, and then sucked his nose heavily.

"..." I don't know why I always feel like I said something that shouldn't be said, although the jail temple didn't say a word but frowned slightly.Although I admit that my usual tone of speech is not very good, but I never make girls cry with casual words like now.

Mingming's age is about the same as his own, but he behaves as if he has already experienced some joys and sorrows.Prison Temple curled his lips in some confusion.

"Hey woman, what's there to cry about." In the end, the tone of the mouth was still a little guilty.

"I'm sorry... I made you laugh..." Ah Qing seemed to be aware of her gaffe, "I just remembered some unhappy things..." She wanted to wipe away her tears, but she wiped away more and more tears as she spoke. In the end, he could only squat on the ground and sob softly.

Prison Temple immediately rubbed his hands and stamped his feet anxiously, he felt ashamed that the strange eyes from the people around him burned his whole body, so he could only stare back hastily.

According to his usual temper, he turned around and left long ago, just because he had agreed with Judaime that it was inconvenient to gather here for a while, and this woman looked really pitiful.It was always wrong to leave her alone casually.

"That boy made his girlfriend cry, why don't he comfort him..."

"Yeah, it's not gentle at all..."

His face sank instantly.The eyes staring at others also became a little annoyed.Those people are talking nonsense, and they are so scary that they don't know what they mean.

"Don't cry." He also squatted down and tugged at the corner of the girl's clothes impatiently, looking a little clumsy.

"Hey... Although I don't know what you have experienced before, isn't it good now?" Obviously it is useless to wake up an irrational person in a rude way. Yan also had no choice but to put down his posture, "Aren't everyone here?"

In fact, Ah Qing didn't pay attention to what the prison said. He just felt that the people around him put down their airs and squatted down to comfort him for the first time.

Although Ah Qing knew that this might be due to the oppression of gossip, but she still couldn't do it rationally for a while, she just wanted to be self-willed like a little girl for a while.She hadn't cried since that incident, perhaps because most of her friends' words were comforting and sympathetic, as well as complaints of infidelity to men, but no one used such words to uncover their own scars—even if it was just unintentional lift.Even so, she would feel a lot better after crying.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and the tears seemed to be slowly withdrawn.Ah Qing wiped her eyes carelessly with her sleeve, then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm self-willed."

Facing the other party's sincere apology, Prison Temple couldn't say anything to refute at once.

It seems that everyone needs to vent, but I have chosen to pretend and be brave since I was a child.After all, Hasumi is just an ordinary girl.The rare and reasonable prison temple decided that only now this time will not attack again.

"Prison Temple—Ah Qing—" A familiar figure slowly appeared from the steps of the shrine, "Why are you squatting here?" Ah Gang was suddenly dumbfounded.

"I just got something in my eye just now, so I feel a little uncomfortable." Ah Qing rubbed his red eyes and stood up, smiling like a normal person.

"It's fine." Ah Gang breathed a sigh of relief, "Then let's go. After making the wish, the fireworks display will almost start." It seems that today's young Pengo Lie is very happy because of the celebration.

After queuing up in the hand water house to wash his hands, Ah Qing stood in front of the enshrinement hall.This is her first time performing a Japanese prayer ceremony.Shaking the bell three times with Jingzi and Xiaochun, and then putting the coins into the cash box, she imitated the movements of the people around her a little clumsily, bowed twice, clasped her hands together twice, and closed her eyes.

——If relatives and friends in both worlds are safe and sound, will the gods think she is greedy?

But the wish at this moment is pious.

She opened her eyes and bowed, stood up and smiled at the two girls beside her.Everyone's wishes should be the same.As long as we're happy together, we'll be fine.

"The fireworks show is about to start! Hahahahaha——Master Lanbo wants to grab the first position!"

As the footsteps of Lan Bo and Yiping chased away, a group of people also hurriedly followed the footsteps of the two children to the back mountain.Indispensably, the prison temple is dissatisfied with Lanbo's turbulent performance and Xiaochun's accusation that the prison temple is not tolerant of children.

Looking at Xiaochun's blushing face and the prison temple's indifferent expression, everyone couldn't help laughing.

"Mmm, hahahaha, Mr. Lanbo, I think this seat is good!" Lanbo sat down on the seat, and then rolled on it quite proudly.

A Gang hurriedly stopped the prison temple who was about to run away after seeing Lanbo talking to himself, and then hurriedly said that this place is really good to watch the fireworks, and knocked back the anger of the prison temple—and Converted into a lofty respect for Judaime's order.

The allocation of positions was a complete mess, and Kikuji had a heated debate with Yamamoto about whether he was qualified to accompany the respected Judaime to watch the fireworks.Lan Bo rolled and rolled and fell asleep a little sleepy. Yiping tried his best to wake him up by pulling his clothes to prevent Lan Bo from catching cold. Reborn flew on the back of Ah Gang's head and told him that as a leader, he had to take care of every family member, so he had to allocate seats well, and then Reborn immediately took the best seat by himself.

Ah Qing looked at the commotion that had become a daily commotion speechlessly, and he and Kyoko Xiaoharu chose a seat at random and sat down.

"Gang and the others are really energetic." Kyoko still didn't understand the situation, and smiled off-line.

"Hmm... yes, yes... ahahaha." Ah Qing smiled reluctantly, twisting her sleeves.

"Tch." Someone sat down on the right hand side, and sneered, "Why is it you again?"

Ah Qing glanced at the handsome profile of the silver-haired boy in a bathrobe, but his eyes were full of dissatisfaction and a little awkwardness.

"Then don't sit here." Ah Qing grinned and made a face at him, with cute little wrinkles on her nose.

Seeing the other party's angry expression, she suddenly felt a lot better.After all, it is impossible to change seats in Prison Temple.Because Reborn is already sitting on the right side of Agang, and he can only occupy the seat on the left hand side of the beloved Judaime.

"boom--"

The sudden explosion made Ah Qing quickly cover her ears, a light flashed across the black sky, and all kinds of purples and reds suddenly bloomed.This is the first time watching fireworks with so many friends.The seemingly illusory fireworks are full of colorful colors, majestic the scenery of the sky.

Infected by the warm atmosphere, she took Xiaochun's hand and excitedly pointed at the colorful sky.

Even though fireworks are a fleeting art, Ah Qing doesn't find it sad.Because with these partners, there are memorable scenery everywhere.

She turned her head to the right, and saw the slight curvature of the boy's mouth against the background of the fireworks, which merged with his faint green eyes and seemed to become a landscape.

Ah Qing couldn't help being stunned.

"What are you looking at!" The other party seemed to have sensed the eyes cast from the side, and returned to a menacing look.

"……Thank you."
