[Black Basket] Love Sound

The AKSI headquarters database intrusion incident was resolved with the efforts of engineers.

However, the truth was concealed by the top management and not made public.The purpose of this move is not clear to the engineers. They just focus on their work as usual and prevent similar incidents from happening again.

And the work of finding alternative truths is left to someone else. Who is that person?Naturally, it was Masao Nakamura who had been investigating Jinggu Anri.In fact, as early as many years ago, he accepted the order of the patriarch to investigate the situation of Jinggu Anri, who was holding multiple positions, in order to prevent unstable factors from breaking out early and hinder the succession of the new patriarch in the future.

Now, the database intrusion incident has become an important turning point, allowing Akashi Shunji, who has been suffering from internal troubles that cannot be eliminated, to find a way to deal with the crisis.

For this reason, the chamber of commerce has conducted urgent consultations. Some people think that family ugliness should not be publicized, and the mess must be cleaned up before the police intervene, otherwise it will affect the company's reputation.Others disagreed with this approach and insisted on handing over the case to the police.In the end, in order to prevent the quarrel from getting worse, Akashi Shunji proposed a compromise plan to everyone, and the members voted to decide whether to implement it.

Therefore, the outcome of that matter is still unknown.

As one of the insiders, Masao Nakamura, even if he knows all the content of the plan, he will only keep it in his heart and will not disclose any information to the outside world, let alone Akashi. As the next heir, he has more important things to do to finish.

At the beginning of June, it happened to be a three-month vacation for students above the third grade of Keio University.During this period of time, students often go out to study abroad, or go to work to earn tuition fees, but Akashi is ushering in an important day in his life and formally entered into a marriage contract with the person he loves.

Since both Akashi and Hashimoto are well-known ancient business families, even if the ceremony is held according to the ancient tradition, the etiquette requirements are stricter and grander than ordinary families.

Therefore, to carry out the traditional engagement ceremony called the ceremony of marriage, both men and women must first prepare the bride price for the ceremony.Usually, according to tradition, each region of Japan has its own unique customs, and the customs are different, and the supplies to be prepared are also different.

Kyoto is the place where Saya grew up, and the dowry of Jie must be prepared according to the customs of the Kansai region.

Items are used as the unit of specification. Items [-], [-], and [-] are used the most, and Item [-] is the most advanced and solemn item, and most of them are used by marriages of famous families.

Among them, the item catalog, dried abalone slices, engagement gold, dried squid, bonito knots, kelp, twine, pure white fan and wine barrel are all necessary items in the ceremony.Each thing has a different metaphor, dried abalone slices represent wine and vegetables, dried squid represents vigorous vitality, kelp represents many children and grandchildren, hemp thread represents couples can grow old forever, pure white fan represents pure love, and family fortune is prosperous .

For young people who have never been exposed to the Ritual of Marriage, it is easy to get dizzy just hearing the types of items.Fortunately, there are quite a few shops that specialize in the business of gift items, which solves the troubles of many newcomers.In the Akashi family, the person who is going to make a gift is the elder of the family, Akashi's great-uncle. She was born in the Kansai region and knows the local customs of the gift better than anyone in the family.

With her help, Akashi was able to pack his bags smoothly after the final exam and head to Kyoto with Saya.

As the future newlyweds, they have to learn the etiquette and many precautions in the wedding ceremony from scratch.So, before leaving, Akashi was lectured by his uncle and grandmother in the main house for two days. After getting a general understanding of the relevant steps, he went to Kyoto to receive the instruction of another elder. She was Saya's grandmother, Mrs. Chiyo.

Regarding this, Akashi was not afraid.

Mrs. Chiyo treated him very kindly, like a grandson, but she was absolutely strict with her granddaughter, and she was trained until she was satisfied.It's no wonder that Saya showed a bitter face when the Shinkansen train was about to enter Kyoto Station, as if she had realized that she herself would be read by her grandmother until her ears became callused.

However, this is something that Saya will face sooner or later, and there is no way to escape it.

Moreover, Akashi knew very well that even if Mrs. Chiyo said that the church lasted for a long time, Saya would complete all the things grandma ordered without any omissions.Whether it is the family business or the wedding ceremony, important matters must be taken seriously, and there must be no sloppyness. This is the rule of being a female general of the Hashimoto family.

Looking at it now, he remembered that his cousin said something really well.Engagement should be relaxed and free from mental burden. If it is as serious as dealing with business, it is simply self-abuse and there is no joy to speak of.

For this sentence, Akashi handed over all the salutes around him to Masao Nakamura after the train arrived at Kyoto Station, asking him to send the salutes to the other house first, and he and Saya chose to take the tram to the city and go shopping The places where the two have walked before, revisit the high school time they spent together.

*******

Entering Kyoto in the early summer, the endless sea of ​​cherry blossoms has long since disappeared with the departure of spring, replaced by hydrangeas and irises of different colors blooming in the sunshine, and they are announcing to the people in the city , the vibrant summer has arrived.

Looking around, stopping at the street he had walked through, Saya couldn't help but feel deeply moved.This place where she was raised since she was a child carries all the memories of her childhood and high school, including pain and sorrow, sweetness and warmth. Even though ten years have passed, she still remembers that period of the past.

"Saya, don't be in a daze there, it will make your uncle wait for a long time."

Akashi's call brought back Saya's wandering thoughts in good time.Originally, he wanted to take a stroll around the block with his lover, but Kenichi Hashimoto suddenly called and invited the two of them to participate in the "Wakayu Festival" in Arashiyama.This is definitely a good opportunity to relax. It can not only relax the two of them, but also relieve the tension before the marriage ceremony. It is really a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

"Sorry, I was a little distracted just now."

No longer immersing herself in the memories of the past, Saya, who came back to her senses, left the station and walked towards Arashiyama with Akashi.

Today is the 'Wakayu Festival', which is also one of the favorite activities of the locals.In summer, Arashiyama fades away the pink makeup unique to spring, and puts on a fresh green one. Compared with the red charm of autumn, Arashiyama, which is full of greenery, still attracts many people to participate in the summer festival. special festival.

As long as it is closer to the activity area, the flow of people will increase exponentially.It is indeed not easy to find acquaintances in the crowd.

Fortunately, someone had already prepared for it. At the entrance of the event area, a middle-aged man in a casual suit was waiting for someone with two big dogs on his leash.His eyes kept searching the crowd, and sometimes he lowered his head anxiously to check the time displayed on the watch.

After waiting for another 10 minutes, just as he got impatient and wanted to go into the crowd to find someone himself, the figures of Saya and Akashi suddenly appeared in his sight.However, before he opened his mouth to call for someone, the two dogs squatting at his feet had already broken free from the leash first, and quickly ran towards the figure in front.

"Rose and Jack? Why are you here?"

Looking at the white Shiba Inu circling around her, Saya felt extremely surprised.

Ruth returned to Kyoto a week earlier than her, and has been staying in Uncle Kenichi's animal hospital.Today, the reason why it can make an exception to participate in the "Ruoyu Festival" is probably because the uncle who loves animals can't bear to leave it alone in the hospital, so he takes it out for a walk.As for Jack, no need to guess, she also knew that Masao Nakamura brought him here.The reason is very simple, people will suffer from lovesickness, and so will dogs. Jack, who likes to cling to Ruth, will not let go of this great opportunity and come to find his old friend to play with.However, due to the rules of the festival, these pets are destined to stay at the festival management office, drooling while staring at the sweetfish on the grill.

"There are rare grilled sweetfish today, of course they want to come and join in the fun."

Akashi stroked Jack's head, not forgetting to complain about the delicious nature of his pet dog.

"Hey, Saya, Akashi, the two of you came later than originally scheduled, did something delay you?"

Through the turbulent crowd, Kenichi Hashimoto came over to greet the two of them.As the eldest son of the Hashimoto family, it is one of the most gratifying things for him to be able to take part in the wedding ceremony of his niece instead of his dead sister in a few days.But before that, he wanted to take advantage of his spare time to let the two juniors go to various scenic spots in the city to relax and not worry about the upcoming ceremony for the time being.

"We went to the neighborhood near our hometown before and stayed there for a while. What, grandma asked me for something?"

Sha Ye thought that her uncle was entrusted by her grandmother, and asked her to rush back to the old house to deal with the ceremony after attending the Ruoyu Festival.

"No, no, your grandma is busy helping you get some things for the ceremony, and I don't have time to take care of other things for the time being. I'm worried that you will be busy midway, so I will ask more questions."

Talk too much?It's weird...

Her uncle was a person who couldn't tell lies, and even a little lie to make her aunt happy would be seen through easily.Now, as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, she was keenly aware that something was wrong. Although his expression was not abnormal at this time, it was out of good intentions that he invited her and Akashi to come over to play, but for some reason, her intuition was telling herself However, my uncle has something important to hide from her, and he doesn't want her to know the details too early.

"Saya, the festival is about to start, let's not stand here in a daze, go over there and line up to get the grilled fish."

Akashi also seemed to see that something was wrong, but he didn't immediately express the doubts in his heart, but pushed the boat smoothly and asked Saya to follow Hashimoto Kenichi to line up to get the food.

"Well, then let's go over and queue up. If we get there late, we can only eat fish bones."

Food is a good excuse, and Akashi's words successfully diverted Saya's focus from Hashimoto Kenichi to the lively venue in the distance.

After a long time, when the aroma of grilled fish began to fill the air, the atmosphere of the venue also became high.

Looking inwards from the entrance, you can see that rows of grills have been set up in the center of the venue, and there are skewered sweetfish on them.Under the high-temperature grilling, the oil of the fish and the temperature create a wonderful ensemble, and the sound of sizzling is constantly coming from the grill, which makes people unable to help but move their index fingers, wanting to walk forward quickly and enjoy the food. Chow down on it.

But no matter how slanderous you are, you have to follow the rules. In addition to preparing the fresh and tender sweetfish of the season, the organizer also served ice-cold canned beer to the people present.In early summer, it is really a good treat to have delicious sweetfish with cold beer.

No wonder locals come to this festival every summer.At the venue, people not only tasted delicious food, but also deepened the relationship between people. Affected by such a lively atmosphere, Saya and Kenichi Hashimoto also followed the long queue to line up to get the fish.But Akashi seized this gap and walked to the side of the road, took out his mobile phone, and checked the message sent by Masao Nakamura at this time.

He tapped the screen with his hand, opened the mailbox, and quickly found the new email.Unexpectedly, when he opened it, the content displayed on the screen made him frown in displeasure, and he quickly turned off the power of the phone.

Why did that guy suddenly come to Kyoto on the day when he and Saya held the marriage ceremony?

Akashi was lost in thought for a moment.

He hadn't seen that guy show up since the last family dinner.Now, he and Saya are about to perform the marriage ceremony, and the Ryuzaki family has let that guy run around again. What does it mean?Could it be that the Ryuzaki family was also one of the invited guests?If he came purely to watch the ceremony, then he would turn a blind eye and act as if nothing had happened. If there was another purpose, then don’t blame him for being suspicious and expelling unwelcome people from the guest list.

However, evidence is still needed to prove whether the speculation in his heart is true. Maybe Masao Nakamura has the answer he wants.
