Knowing that his son was going to see the Nebuta Festival, Higiridai actively helped prepare the yukata.

"It's so troublesome to wear this." Hiji took the bathrobe out of the bag, refusing to take it anyway.

"No." Ridai's attitude was very firm, "Even if you don't want it, don't you want Chiba-san? You also said that his mother is not in good health and her family background is average, so she definitely wouldn't prepare it, so just take it for him. .”

"Wouldn't it be good to only bring Chiba?"

"If you don't wear it, will people be willing to wear it?" Li Dai rolled his eyes at his idiot son, "By the way, I have to prepare his sister's. Oh, why don't I have a pink and tender daughter? Only you And A Cong two pieces of wood."

Riji curled his lips, and decided to shut up and never open his mouth before his mother went crazy.

At the beginning of August, the two boys had to go to Aomori with the main force, taking the bathrobes Ridai forced on them.On the plane, Siming fell into a dark sleep.Hiyoshi coaxed Kanako to change the seat, and naturally adjusted his sitting posture, letting Siming lean on his shoulder so that the other person could sleep more comfortably.

Seeing Hiyoshi's thoughtful actions, Renzu's eyes flickered, did the elementary school boy get enlightened?

When they arrived in Aomori, the Nebuta Festival had already started for two days, and when they stepped into the city, they could feel the strong atmosphere of the festival.

"Brother, big float." Kanako took Siming's hand and whispered, pointing to the lantern not far away.

Following his sister's guidance, Siming looked at the floats prepared for the night one by one. In fact, they were really similar to Chinese temple fairs. There were some elements of ghosts and ghosts, and some shadows of ancient Chinese mythology could be seen.After finding the hotel to stay in, the boys cleaned up casually, and the girls happily changed into the bathrobes they brought with them.

When I came here this time, the sisters of several team members came together. Seeing this situation, because of the previous dinner party, Kanako and Akutagawa’s younger sister, Akutagawa Nao, were already very familiar with each other, and they quickly melted together under the guidance of Nao. Among the girls.When they arrived at the hotel, several people had already made an appointment to live in the same room.

Someone helped to take care of her, and Siming was also relieved. After all, they lived outside. Although they were both young, he was a boy, so it was not easy for him to share a room with his sister to take care of her daily life.

"Brother, look, Sister Feng helped me change it." Kanako put on her new yukata, and immediately ran to Siming. Because of the Nebuta Festival, there were many tourists, and it was difficult to book a hotel room. The boys crowded a room.Siming was in the same room as Hiji, Feng, and Anato. When Kanako came over, they were still laying out their belongings.

"Very beautiful." Siming praised his sister sincerely.

Indeed, the yukata Riyo had chosen for Kanako was perfect for her.Light pink cherry blossom patterns are embroidered on the light yellow background, a thin layer of bangs is combed on the front of the forehead, the hair at the back is combed high and coiled into a small ball, and a pink flower is inserted beside the bun. little flower.It made Kanako's face pink, very cute.

"Very cute." Standing beside Siming, Riji also nodded.

Hearing the praise, the little girl smiled like a flower, "Brother, take more pictures of me today."

"Ok."

Before night, the group left the hotel.The colorful lights prepared at night are all stored in the square, and passers-by can take pictures one by one.Near noon, you can see a circle of people sitting on the ground eating lunch at any time.

Several girls spotted some girls in yukata, flower hats and cuffs.

"It's 'jumping'." Feng Qianchun, who had followed the interview team to Aomori once, exclaimed excitedly, "Let's go, let's take a photo with them."

With that said, Feng Qianchun stuffed the camera in his younger brother's hand, "Changtaro, hurry up."

"Hi."

In the evening, Atobe, a big local tycoon, was the host, and everyone enjoyed a seafood feast.Although the food is arranged according to one serving per person, it is estimated that the store has never thought about the urination of foodies.This also allowed Siming to see the scene of small animals robbing food again. If it wasn't for the Atobe town, the food would probably fly around and the dining table might be overturned.

Siming didn't eat much. Seeing his sister eating happily, he carefully avoided the small animals that were snatching the food, and put his tempura and sashimi sushi in front of Kanako.

"Is it delicious?"

"Hmm." Kanako nodded again and again, as a snack, she is simply in heaven now!

"Ala, it's good to have an older brother to take care of you, Kanako-chan?" Feng Qianchun's face turned slightly red because of drinking some wine, "Chiba-san is really a good older brother."

"En, en." Kanako nodded, desperately swallowed the sushi in her mouth, and then picked up the honeydew melon in the plate, "Brother, this honeydew melon is delicious, so sweet!"

While eating, the sound of sanxian came.

"Oh, there is actually a performance by Tsugaru Sanxian?" These big boys didn't have the taboo that minors can't drink alcohol at all.Siming dared to say, including the senior Ninzu who seemed very stable and mature, but a few of them seemed to hold a lot of alcohol, and they were probably used to it.

Riji leaned against Siming holding the wine glass. He seldom drank alcohol, but now he felt slightly drunk.

As the sanxian sounded, a strangely dressed man in a red kimono and a red hat suddenly appeared from the crowd. He held a golden hammer and a red-gold folding fan in his hand and shuttled among the guests.

"That's the 'God of Fortune'." Feng Qianchun introduced to everyone, "Being hit by his hammer or fanned by him will bring blessings."

Feng Qianchun looked at the God of Fortune with some interest, "Let's see which of you can win his favor."

Both Kanako and Akutagawa Nao were dragged by the God of Fortune to dance together, Xiang Ri and Akutagawa also followed along to join in the fun, everyone almost forgot to go out to see the floats.

At night, Aomori Prefecture became more lively. Huge floats with flashing lights came out of the square one by one and entered the street.

It turned out to be a character from the Three Kingdoms?Siming's eyes lit up. He really didn't expect that many giant lanterns were created based on figures in Chinese history.Of course, there are also some kabuki, Japanese gods and Buddha lanterns.

The red-faced Guan Gong passed by holding the Qinglong Yanyue Saber, followed by Zhang Fei holding the Zhangba Snake Spear. While watching, Siming held Kanako's hand and explained softly to his sister.

"Brother, what is that?"

Siming stood on tiptoe and looked at the lantern that Kanako was pointing at, "That's a character from "Water Margin". Fan Rui challenged Gongsun Sheng,..."

"Brother, I can't see it!"

"what?"

As the night progressed, there were more and more people. With the noisy voices and the shouts from the police team, Siming had to lean down to Kanako's mouth to listen.In the crowd's pushing and shoving, he almost fell down.Riji followed closely beside the siblings, helping them in time when they were about to fall.

Just when Siming had to stand on tiptoe to watch the team, Kanako was pushed onto the shoulder by Huadi.

"Ah!" The sudden action startled the little girl, but soon, she clapped her hands happily and looked at her.

"Thanks to Huadi-san."

When they arrived in Aomori, it was already the last day of the Nebuta Festival. Near midnight, people danced around a favorite "Nebuta", and then put the lanterns into the sea, which means that the nebuta and laziness that hinder labor will be eliminated. The heart is exiled to the river and sea and washed away with the waves.

As "Naibuta" entered the sea, one after another fireworks leaped into the air. Siming and Riji stood together, looking up at the bustling moment.

After watching the Nebuta Festival lively, Ice Emperor's tennis club once again put into intensive training, and the national competition is coming.I heard that Echizen Ryoma will enter the US Open again.But Ice Empress and his team members did not take it lightly.If you underestimate your opponent, you will usher in unexpected results. There have never been many such things as killing a dark horse in a slanted field.

Siming finally ushered in his own professional exam.

Professional exams are still held at the Chess Academy.When Siming arrived, there were already many people waiting.Tsuboi and Miyama were chatting at the door.

"Good morning, Chiba-kun." Miyama, like Tsuboi, had passed the preliminaries and entered the official exam. The other students seemed to have not come yet, and most of the people gathered at the door were foreign candidates.

"Go to the lounge." There was no one outside, and most of them went to the lounge after entering the chess academy.

"Asano, you came early." Meishan had been in the chess academy for a long time, and had good friendship with most of the students.Seeing Eita Asano sitting in a corner of the lounge, he waved his hand and pulled Siming and Tsuboi towards Asano.

"Good morning, Chiba, Tsuboi, Miyama."

"Good morning, Asano." Several people sat down beside Asano.

"Where are Kishitani and the others? Haven't come yet?"

"Yeah. Kishitani and Oguri are still on the way, and Matsuzaka and Shirakawa have gone to buy breakfast. Have you brought your bento? If you haven't, you can go there and give it a try. There will be staff responsible for ordering for us after the exam starts."

Both Siming and Tsuboi shook their heads, but Meishan got up and ran to the order form at the door to fill in her name and requirements.Not long after, Zhongshan and Yoshida walked in together, followed by Matsuzaka and Shirakawa who were eating bread.There are also a few chess courts that have not been entered until after 08:30.

The official competition of the professional examination is a round-robin competition without elimination. This time, a total of 30 people participated.But it is said that there is no elimination, only the top three among the 30 people, and when the defeat exceeds a certain number, it is equivalent to being eliminated.Generally, lottery is only drawn in the first game, and the order of the battle combinations is determined in advance. Once you determine your number, then the opponent for the entire game will also be determined.

At nine o'clock, the announcement to allow candidates to enter the living room sounded.Several people got up and walked into the opposite room, kneeling and sitting around the opposite room. Xiao Tian led several staff members to sit at the southernmost end, and called the candidates one by one to draw lots.Siming is number 9.Take a number and sit down in front of your chessboard.His opponent today is a foreign candidate.It looks very polite.After glancing at the opponent for a while, Siming lowered his head and put his eyes on the chessboard.

After everyone was seated, Shinoda announced the rules: "...the game time is three hours for each player, and after the countdown, each step is 1 minute, and the posting is 5 and a half eyes...Okay, let's start now."

After announcing the official start, Siming's opponent got up and left the opposite room instead.It seems that it has not calmed down.

【Ah~, so cunning.Actually escaped. 】thousand

Ye Juvenile complained behind Siming's back. Indeed, leaving his seat after the official start can easily disrupt the opponent's momentum and thus affect the final match.

However, these were nothing to Siming.Psychological warfare is what I do best.

Siming closed his eyes and waited slowly, until he heard the sound of the other party sitting down, Siming opened his eyes and dropped his first bean.
