The man rescued from Kabukicho

Famous travel destinations like Kyoto,

Every midsummer, large and small fireworks festivals are held one after another, many of which are very famous,

It has reached the point where tickets are limited to admission.

But it is only early summer, and the prelude to the well-known fireworks festival has not yet been unveiled.

This time is very lucky,

It happened that there was a company’s centennial celebration, and the preserved old site was adjacent to the river. Therefore, in order to repay the local community residents, the company united with the regional management and held a lively firework conference together, just like a cool festival in the community. It’s not so commercial, but more down-to-earth gas.

Moreover, it is basically what the firework festival in Cirou's mind has been imagining for a long time.

Jiro's eyes were bright, and he stood shoulder to shoulder with Ijuin,

Among the local residents in all kinds of bathrobes,

Walking on the streets illuminated by red lanterns dressed up in festival customs,

Clogs clattering,

Excited like a teenager.

Jiro wanted to see everything about the date of this firework festival more clearly,

So I pushed the fox mask over my head, but just in case, I still half-covered my face with a round fan.

Yijuin next to him is wearing a fox mask,

Black eyes watched calmly behind the mask,

Rather than participating in the fireworks festival, it is better to say that he is accompanying Jiro.

Neither of them showed their faces, because the atmosphere felt like a handsome guy,

He was tall and handsome, standing out from the crowd, so he still attracted a lot of attention. However, as the flow of people increased, especially after entering the main street full of various stalls on both sides, this kind of trouble was reduced.

Fireworks festival, snack stalls are essential, takoyaki, grilled squid, fried udon noodles, etc. Excited Jiro bought a piece of everything he was interested in, these ordinary snacks are in the atmosphere of the firework festival I don't know why it feels so delicious.

However, Yijiin, who is quite picky about food, just lifted the fox mask slightly and took a bite from Cirou's hand. Although they all gave a simple evaluation of "good", Cilang knew without thinking that he was just cooperating with him.

A delicate and picky famous cat, he is willing to try roadside snacks for himself. Cilang is so cute by his boyfriend. Every time Hechen uncovers the mask, bows his head noblely, and takes a bite of food from his hand, Cilang wants to pounce on him Pro and minister.

It's a pity that you can't do this on the street, you have to be patient.

His chest was filled with all kinds of emotions. When the long-awaited stall appeared in his sight, Cilang was as excited as a teenager: "Apple candy!"

Cilang went to buy it, and both of them were taller than ordinary people, so Yijiin was not in a hurry, and slowly approached Cilang, but a group of dancers who were rushing to perform hurried past, Yijiin didn't like crowds, but stepped back a few steps.

Should I buy one or two?Sure enough, He Chen doesn't really like to eat these, so it's better to buy one?Kazumi wouldn't mind eating the same apple candy as himself, would he?Cilang came to such a conclusion selfishly, and finally said to the smiling stall owner, "One is fine."

When Cirou took the red apple candy in his hand and looked back, the group of dancers had just run past and Yijiin was walking towards him, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

When I was in junior high school, the girls chatted in small groups. They all felt that wearing kimonos in Ijuin, especially the black patterned hakama for Japanese Shinto weddings, combined with Ijuin's cold and awe-inspiring temperament, would be very charming.At that time, Cirou was still not convinced, but now Cirou, who is obsessed with wearing yukata for Ijuin, willingly admits that the girls really have good eyesight.

The bathrobe on the man's body is a simple and elegant striped style that he bought. It is obviously very ordinary, but it looks like some famous masterpiece when worn on Yijiyuan. The black gold embroidered black bottom belt immediately raised the style several grades.

But in fact, other things are not important. The important thing is that Ijuin, who is wearing a bathrobe and a mask, is walking towards him, making him ignore the crowd of people, as if the night, lanterns, streets and crowds are just the setting for Ijuin’s appearance , all the voices are far away from him, the crowds and streets are blurred, and the attention is only firmly attracted by Yijiyuan, like the man who is bewitched by the enchanting beauty in the story.

Jiro couldn't help but think of the legendary fox spirit who is inseparable from Inari Shrine in Kyoto.

"What's the matter?" Yijiyuan came over, but found that he was still motionless, and asked in doubt.

He seemed to wake up suddenly, held up the apple candy, and coaxed: "Take a bite."

Yijuin raised the mask without any complaints, moved his lips close to the candy apple, and touched it lightly, revealing his snow-white teeth.

With a crisp sound and the slight cracking sound of the sugar shell being crushed, Ijiin took a bite of the apple candy, ate it, cleaned the sugar stains on his lips with the tip of his tongue, and then put down the mask.

Review as usual: "Good."

Cilang looked at his minister, wanted to hug him, wanted to kiss him, wanted to do a lot of things that he couldn't do now, but after thinking a lot, he finally brought the apple candy to his mouth, and licked it where Hechen bit it just now , and then took a bite on the side.

"good to eat."

Yijiin watched the whole process, and when he heard Cilang's comment, his eyes darkened, as if a gray-blue flame had ignited under the ice layer, which could not be seen on the surface at all.

Like a junior high school student, Jiro bumped Ijuin's shoulder with his shoulder: "Keep shopping."

They walked along the street side by side, two tall men, walking in the bustle, occasionally participating in it, but they seemed to be a whole, out of tune with the bustle.

Cilang wet his sleeves while fishing for goldfish, but he didn't catch a single one. He could only comfort himself that if there were big cats in the house, it would be better not to raise fish. The appearance of the cat stretching its claws into the tank to catch fish, ended up laughing out loud.

Seeing Yijiin turn his face to ask questions, Cilang suppressed a smile, looked left and right, and pointed to the booth in front of him divertedly: "It's a shooting shop!"

Yijiyuan raised his brows slightly behind the mask, but he didn't ask much, and followed Cilang to the booth, just as the customers who had played enough in front just left, the child seemed to be holding a few consolation prize candies because of nothing, and his mouth was so pouted that he could hang an oil bottle .

Although it was a change of subject, Cilang also yearned for the shooting booth that often appeared in the firework festival for a long time, and as soon as he stood in front of the booth, he saw the biggest prize at a glance.

It was a big light gray cat doll with a displeased face.

Isn't this Ijuin!

It's not black, which is a bit of a pity, but it's still so cute and I want it.

Yijiin was not interested in these matters, and just stayed with Cilang and watched Cilang play. Cilang immediately paid the money and was ambitious to take the big cat doll home.

However, the biggest prize is there, and it is naturally impossible for people to win it easily. Not only is it placed at a tricky angle, but it is such a big one after all, even if it hits it, it will be difficult to drop it.

In the first round of ten rounds, Cirou missed all of them.

I paid for the second time, and this time I hit a shot. The big cat doll shook, but it didn't mean to fall down at all.

The third round had just hit three rounds, all of which missed, Ci Lang stopped and couldn't help sighing, he didn't even have confidence.

At this time, Ijuin took the shooting gun from him, then took off the fox mask and let him hold it.

Not to mention anything else, just seeing Yijuin roll up his yukata sleeves, hold his gun high, his slender forearm stretched straight, his head tilted slightly, and his single-eyed aim, even if one of the remaining seven shots misses, Cirou I think it's worth the price of admission.

He knew that the way he looked at Yijuin now must be the same as that of a girl fan looking at an idol, but how could he be blamed?It's all to blame for the beauty of Yijuin.

Bang, the first shot hit the bottom of the big cat doll, the doll jumped a bit and tilted its head outward.

The shopkeeper's leisurely expression suddenly changed, as if he knew that the prize was lost.

Cilang held the fox mask, his eyes lit up, and he prayed from the bottom of his heart.

Bang, the second shot hit almost the same place, the big cat doll shook several times, and it was about to fall.

Yijuin didn't hesitate at all, and quickly fired the third shot while the doll was still shaking, and the big cat doll fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

Really got it!

The big cat is so handsome!

Jiro cheered excitedly like a boy.

Yijiyuan was still holding a shooting gun, and said calmly: "What else do you want?"

He has the intention of winning everything back for him.

The owner of the shop who was handing the big cat doll to Cilang became even more bitter when he heard the words. Cilang hugged the big cat doll and said happily: "The big cat is enough, we don't need more, let's go."

Yijiin had no objection, put down the shooting gun, walked up to the happy-faced Cirou, took the mask from the busy Cirou and put it on: "Happy?"

"I'm so happy that I'm going to die," Cilang buried his face in the head of the big cat doll, feeling that he was so outrageous, but couldn't suppress the joy in his heart at all, and sighed like a dream.

These words made Yijiin curl his lips behind the mask.

At this moment, Cirou covered the two of them with the head of the big cat doll, his eyes were not facing Yijuin at all, he leaned close to Yijuin's ear, and tried to suppress the overly excited voice: "I am so happy that I want to kiss you so much."

In the next second, he was pulled by Yijiyuan to walk quickly, almost like running, and entered an ordinary street with no good lanterns on the side of the road.

You can still hear the crowds coming and going outside, but the irrelevant bustle is automatically blocked by the couple who are kissing in the dark away from the street lights.

Cilang leaned against the wall, which seemed to be the courtyard wall of someone else's house. Yijiyuan's forearm was placed on the back of his head early in the morning to prevent him from knocking on it. Kissing with a huge doll is easier to feel than hugging and kissing directly. They both want to get close to each other, squeeze and rub through the doll, and when they finally stop, they all have to stand in place for a long time before they can leave here. go forward.

But they didn't go back the same way. They didn't want to go back to the bustling crowds, and the mobile phone map showed that they could go to a good place to watch fireworks by the river, and they could get there faster by walking directly from this quiet alley.

So Yijiin held the mask in his hand, and held Jirou's hand with the other hand. The two walked forward slowly, and someone passed by this shortcut on the way, but when Cilang wanted to withdraw his hand, Yijiin held it firmly So they held hands grandly like this, the passer-by seemed to be shocked by their height, when they passed by them, they almost walked against the wall and walked far away on the other side, avoiding their eyes, without saying a word, He trotted away quickly.

When the passer-by left his sight, Cilang was startled to feel that his palms were covered with sweat, and he didn't know whether he was too nervous, afraid of hurting Yijiyuan and being ridiculed by others, or being held too tightly by Yijiyuan.

Then, unexpectedly, my heart became more and more peaceful.

They walked slowly, and there was a small corner in the middle of this alley. Turning around, there was a quiet second-hand bookstore not far away. The old-fashioned lighting, and the pop music coming from inside is also very old-fashioned, as if it is an old song that is well-known to everyone.

"I want to go in and have a look," Cirou said with great interest.

"Well," Yijiyuan responded.

Saying “excuse me,” they pushed the door and went in. The shopkeeper gave a cold hello and then lowered his head to look at the book. There was no intention of introduction at all, but it was even better. Jiro felt at ease, and even boldly took Yijuin’s hand, in three Browse among the huge wooden tables densely packed with books.

The shop owner didn't seem to classify the second-hand books at all, and Jiro felt like he was playing a Taobao game with little chance. He handed the big cat doll to Yijiin and slowly moved between the wooden tables.

Occasionally see the title or cover of a book that seems interesting, gently open the cover to look at the content, and then move forward.

When they entered the door, the pop music playing at a low volume had already come to an end. At this time, it started again from the beginning. After hearing the familiar lyrics, Cilang remembered the title of the song and whispered to Yijiyuan: "I have been thinking about it for a long time. , it turned out to be "Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon" by Miyuki Nakajima."

This is the theme song of an ancient medical drama. In junior high school, the music teacher played it for them nostalgic. He also explained that the "Silver Dragon" in the title of the song was inspired by the silver scalpel in the doctor's hand.

Cilang just talked about it casually, but Yijiyuan responded: "Professor Okochi likes this song very much."

Hearing this, Cilang turned his head slightly surprised.

Yijiyuan also just responded casually, seeing Cilang turning his head, he asked in puzzlement, "What's wrong?"

Professor Okochi was Ijuin's mentor when he was studying at the School of Medicine at Dongdae University. I heard from Ijuin that he was an upright and aspiring doctor. He used to value Ijuin very much. Because Ijuin chose to inherit the family business, he was disappointed and cut off contact with Yijuin. After a long time It was only slightly eased, and until now, the relationship has not been completely repaired.

No matter what Yijuin says he has no feelings, Jiro always feels that even if Yijuin doesn't feel it himself, or if Yijuin doesn't think it's sad, he will actually be sad. Those bad things in the Yijuin mansion are like this, and they were broken up by Professor Okochi The same is true.

Even if Cilang pretends to be affectionate, even if Yijuin himself really can't feel it, Cilang still wants to feel it for him.

Cilang smiled: "I just think it's a very good song, and the lyrics are well written."

Hidden somewhere in the stereo, the national treasure female singer is singing: Even if I lose again and again, I have nothing / There will still be someone who will lend a helping hand / And the reason why people only have soft skin / is to understand the pain of others .

"Well," Yijuin responded simply.

They walked around one desk and came to another desk. Cilang picked up a book and suggested unintentionally, "At the end of the year, why don't you visit the professor's house?"

Yijuin glanced at him: "...um."

Cilang paid the bill with a few old books he had chosen.

When they were about to walk out of the alley, they stopped at the same time.

Cilang kissed the side face of Yijiyuan, put on the fox mask on him, and suddenly smiled: "It feels like I'm dating a handsome fox demon."

Unexpectedly, Yijiyuan gave a cold "meow" behind the mask, as if to say: Isn't it a cat?

Cilang leaned against Yijiyuan and laughed for a long time before he took the big cat doll into his arms, and Yijuin helped Cilang carry the round fan and the paper bag containing the books, and the two walked side by side to a good place to watch the fireworks.

The best viewing point is a large grassy slope beside the river.

There are still 15 minutes before the firework festival will start. There are already many people occupying seats nearby. space.

A young man who seemed to be looking for someone bumped into Cilang from behind, causing the unsuspecting Cilang to stagger a step before he stood still.

"I'm sorry," the young man seemed to be in a hurry, apologizing in a hurry and was about to leave, but when he saw the man next to Cirou, he stopped abruptly, stared at the man and asked, "Ijiin-san, is that you?"

Yijiin supported Cilang displeasedly, but did not speak.

Ci Lang didn't know what was going on, and asked politely, "You are?"

The young man said arrogantly: "There are sparrows in Matsumoto."

Then he paused, his look, as if to say: You know who I am when you hear this name, now, you can scream for me.

Ke Cirou has no idea who he is.

Jiro looked at Ijuin, and Ijuin whispered in his ear, "It's a kabuki performer."

It's the same as saying it and not saying it.

Cilang looked at Yijiyuan suspiciously, and whispered in Yijiyuan's ear, "What did you do?"

Why did you provoke people to come after watching a kabuki?

This big cat tricked the little fish so that he wouldn't cheat into the kabuki industry across the board!

Yijuin was very innocent, and whispered in Cirou's ear, "I didn't do anything."

Of course, Cilang believed in his big cat, so he whispered into Yijiyuan's ear, "Then how did he find it?"

I don't know if it's Cilang's overheartedness, but I always feel that Yijiyuan's answer sounds a bit wronged: "I don't know."

Matsumoto Youque was dumbfounded.

Of course he came after Yijuin, and in order to get Yijuin's movements, he even turned down his face and asked the vulgar local snake for help.

Because he is a die-hard fan of the girl manga and its derivative TV series "Your Son of the Warring States~Medical Samurai", and he is extremely obsessed with the male lead. Yesterday, he took the initiative to invite him for the first time.

Although Yijiyuan declined, but Yijuyuan praised him for looking like his mother!You know, in "Young Master of the Warring States~Medical Warrior", the hero once praised the heroine for looking like his mother!

The more Youque Matsumoto thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't just give up.

Yijiin Kazuomi, but more in line with the image of the manga hero than the TV drama hero, is the inspiration prototype, the manga author himself admitted.

But who can tell him why Ijuin-san, who should seem indifferent but actually treats others with gentleness, is so indifferent to him?When you see him, you don't even take off your mask?

And, who is that man next to Ijuin-san?Why is Ijuin-san so close to that man?

Matsumoto Yuque is the eldest son of this generation of the Matsumoto family, and he is extremely talented. He has not been neglected to such an extent until now.Just about to get angry, I heard Yijiyuan-san asked indifferently: "What's the matter with you?"

I finally heard Yijuin speak, and was surprised by such a cold tone. Yijuin was so different from the hero of the manga, and it collapsed. Matsumoto Yuque was so sad that his eyes were red, and he said incoherently: "I, I have always liked you very much. , read the manga many times, you..."

Ci Lang asked in surprise, "Manga?"

Matsumoto Youque was startled by a slip of the tongue, bit his mouth and fell silent.

At this time, Cilang remembered the girl's manga that he had forgotten for a long time.

So this is a manga fan?

Chasing Yijuin for the manga?

Looking at the beauty of the young man, Ci Lang didn't know what to say for a moment. Although he was still young, he was still an adult after all. He was so innocent. It seemed that his family was very fond of him.Thinking of this, Cilang immediately lost his mind and thought of the childhood his big cat spent in the Ijiin mansion, and his heart ached again after thinking about it.

Arisu Matsumoto was also looking at Jirou, because of the dialogue, Cirou was very polite and didn't cover his face with a big cat doll.

From Matsumoto's point of view, the man next to Ijuin-san, even he, has to admit that he is indeed a handsome man who is one in a million. It seems that he has just graduated from university, and he can be by Ijuin-san's side. What kind of identity would it be?He just graduated from university, so he is definitely not qualified enough to be an assistant to the Yijiyuan consortium, and an assistant should be respectful, why would he hold a big cat doll?From the outside, this man doesn't seem to be a major in finance and medicine, but more like a celebrity or a model, and his words and deeds to Ijuin-san are not at all solemn.

Therefore, there is only one possibility, this handsome man must be Yijiin-san's lover.

As the descendant of a Kabuki family, Matsumoto Yuque certainly felt that he had more talent and status than this small celebrity and small model, but it turned out that such a beautiful man with nothing but beauty was approached by Ijuin. Both jealousy and jealousy made him lose his composure, and blurted out: "Yesterday, Ijuin-san praised me as a 'talented servant'! He also praised me that I reminded him of his mother!"

Is this okay?

Ci Lang was still distracted, when he heard such a bad sentence, he quickly replied: "I'm sorry, I will talk to him properly!"

Matsumoto Youque widened his eyes, looking at the two in disbelief.No matter how stupid he is, seeing such a subconscious reaction from the handsome man, he can realize that it might not be a good word.

Cilang looked at his big cat condemningly, no matter what the young man did, and no matter how incompetent that Mrs. Yijiyuan was, but no matter what, he shouldn't bring out his mother to scold them both.

Seen innocently and aggrieved by the big cat looking back through the mask, Cirou shouted in a tone of disapproval: "Hechen."

Ijuin lowered his head, but he still didn't take off his mask. Looking at him like this, he seemed to be bowing his head to admit his mistake. He half embraced Cirou from behind, and raised his watch to show Cirou. His voice was unbelievably soft, as if he was trying to be good: "The time is coming."

Yes, I came to see the Fireworks Festival.

Ci Lang turned his head, wanting to explain to the young man, but found that the man had disappeared at some point, he wondered, "Where is the man?"

ran away crying.

But Yijuin will not tell the soft-hearted big dog.

"It's not bad over there," Yijuin said, pointing to the empty front right.

Cilang followed the prestige and found that it was really good. While following Yijiyuan to the other side, he hummed and said: "The fox monster who provokes people. The vixen. The bad cat."

Although it wasn't intentional provocation, some outsiders didn't want to get angry just now, but now, the jealousy that should be eaten still needs to be eaten.

Yijuin laughed softly, and hooked his hand.

Half a minute before the fireworks were set off, people counted down loudly: "29, 28, 27... 8... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Wow!!!"

pon!

Beautiful fireworks suddenly bloom in the night sky.

In an unnoticed corner of the grassy slope of the river, a man took off his fox mask and kissed his only love in this world under the sky filled with fireworks.

"There is a chance in the future, come together again?"

"it is good."

"I want to draw a story about a fox demon."

"……it is good."

"Once upon a time, there was a very good-looking monster named Hechen. Everyone guessed that he was a fox demon. Many people wanted to date him. Hechen said, whoever of you can guess what kind of monster I am, I will marry him." That person is dating, but if you guess wrong, you have to leave the most precious thing before you can leave. Some people scared away, and some stayed. At this time, someone stood up first..."

Fireworks bloomed one after another, someone made up stories casually, and someone listened patiently, until the crowd dispersed and they heard that they were going home.

Like when they were 13.

School rooftop.

"Ijiin-kun," Mochizuki Jirou patted the composition book on his face in frustration, a cute golden retriever dog was drawn on the grid paper, but he didn't write a single word for the essay that should be written, and he was so bored that he didn't want to think about it at all Write, speak indiscriminately, "Shall I tell you a story?"

Yijiyuan Kazumi didn't take his eyes off the book he was reading, and said in a cold tone, "Why don't I tell you a story first. A long time ago, there was a boy who trained himself to draw golden retriever dogs on his composition book. Every Golden Retriever draws differently, and after training day after day, he became a famous painter, and his name is Da Cilang Vinci."

The author has something to say: *Cilang: This bad cat, it takes a lot of bamboo shoots
