My Japanese story is a bit sweet

Chapter 175 Shenyin Town, Grand Festival.

Summer is a difficult season, because the human body is like a computer. Excessive temperature will make the CPU overheat. If the frequency is not reduced in time, it may burn out soon.

Niijima probably felt that he was broken, his whole person was stupid, his body was like a light cloud, and he would be shattered into pieces with a light tap.At the same time, I felt hot all over my body, as if I was in a burning fireplace and would turn into thick smoke and dissipate in this world the next moment.

She pressed her forehead against Fujiwara Hoshikong's forehead, she couldn't hear her heartbeat, couldn't feel the rhythm of breathing, and the indescribable warmth spread from the forehead where the skin touched to the whole body.

"Get up, the ceremony is about to begin."

"No, just lie down for a while~~"

"Shenyin Town can only come in once a year, so don't miss it."

"There are monsters everywhere, it feels so scary."

Fujiwara Hoshizora: "..."

Are you still afraid of monsters?Don't you think it's lame to act like a baby with this reason?
"It's not that scary." Fujiwara Xingkong smiled bitterly, "Mr. Totoro told me that today is the annual firefly festival in the town, and the atmosphere is quite interesting."

"Really?"

"Of course, you won't find anything more interesting than this in Tokyo."

"Let's go then!"

The two got up from the embankment and walked back to the town hand in hand.

When passing by the pier, a group of Fusangshen of various shapes just got off the boat.In the legend of the island country, if the utensils are left alone for more than a hundred years, they will turn into monsters. This kind of monsters are collectively called Fusangshen.

Among the monsters who just got off the ship in front of me, there are people wearing straw hats and people carrying burdens. These monsters may be Fusangshen who have been transformed into straw hats and burdens.

There are also some that directly use the body to act, so you can see bowls and chopsticks, abacus, or a few books floating in the air and talking enthusiastically.

What's even more outrageous is that there is a kind of monster called the word demon.

Word demons, as the name suggests, are monsters transformed from words. This group of word demons stands on the side of the pier, forming words such as "Welcome" and "The festival is about to begin" with each other.

Niijima was really curious to see a group of monsters in red uniforms and masks of ghosts and gods walking into the town. When the long line came to the end, she suddenly yelled.

"Look, Fujiwara, the radish has become a spirit."

Without saying a word, Fujiwara Xingkong covered her mouth, and apologized awkwardly to the "skilled radish" in her mouth.

"I'm sorry, Lord Yu Baishen. Tong Yan Wuji, please don't take it to heart."

Standing in front of the two of them was a tall and round monster with white skin, wearing only crotch cloth and a red hat on its head.The belly is super big, and the two cheeks grow like radishes to the chest.

It really does look like a big carrot.

This big radish is the god of agriculture of the island country, named Oshiro God.

Different from ordinary monsters, this kind of "god" who is in charge of specific affairs has divinity in his body, and having divinity means that they can accept human offerings and sacrifices, and gain powerful power from them.

It's really impossible for Niijima not to know about gods like Yubaishen, but today she seems to be a little over-excited, and she's acting silly.

Big Carrot Yu Baishen snorted with his small eyes wide open, probably meaning "I don't even bother to talk to a mortal like you", and then walked into the town with a waddle on his small thick legs.

Fujiwara Xingkong breathed a sigh of relief, and just turned around to teach his sister-in-law a lesson, only to find that she was sticking out her tongue and making faces at him mischievously.

The quirky appearance is very cute, so the words of admonishment turn into doting persuasion when it comes to his lips.

"Xiao Zhen, why don't we buy a mask and wear it."

"why?"

"Run away if you cause trouble, don't be afraid of being remembered."

The two led the way and walked towards the entrance of the town.

At this time, the sky was dark, and a full moon appeared in the sky, pouring down the ground with silver light.

Under the night, the brightly lit town of Shenyin turns into another world.

In the small shops on both sides of the aisle, colorful lanterns lit up one after another, bright red, brilliant yellow, emerald green, dyeing the road paved with bluestone slabs with beautiful colors.

The yelling is heard one after another. The shop assistants wear rubber aprons, don't use big speakers, just rely on the sound like a bell, and they don't shout many words. Those who sell octopus balls call "octopus balls", and those who sell fried shrimps call "octopus balls". Call it "fried shrimp", and those who sell grilled corn call it "grilled corn".

Taking a closer look, you can see that these shop assistants are all kappa. Their mouths are like bird beaks, their limbs are like frogs, their bodies are like monkeys, and each has a turtle shell on its back.

The two of them walked under the light, and the aroma of food lingered on the tip of their noses.

"What to eat?"

"Do not want to."

"I ate rice balls at noon, are you still hungry?"

"It's beautiful and delicious, do you know?"

Fujiwara Xingkong turned his head to look, and happened to meet her eyes full of admiration. He felt amused in his heart, and couldn't help but joked: "Stealing kitten."

Niijima really didn't refute, just smiled sweetly.She can think about it now, anyway, the two of us are not in the human world now, so no third person knows about our presumptuousness.

After we get out, wouldn't it be enough to resume the relationship we had before?

After walking along the shops for a while, Makoto Niijima's eyes were attracted by the stalls selling masks.

Fujiwara Xingkong watched her choose for a long time, but in the end he only picked out two fox masks, and was immediately disappointed.

Alas, this is not the human world after all, and there are no Kamen Rider masks for sale.

Leaving the mask stand, Niijima walked happily, his wooden clogs making a "click-click" sound on the stone-paved road.

Fujiwara Xingkong is by his side, but his eyes will inadvertently move to the deepest part of the dense forest at the end of the road. In the dark green, the golden and red fires in the shrine reflect each other, which is very mysterious.

"Dong dong dong" several crisp sounds, and three hairless heads rolled in front of the two of them.

These three heads are a kind of monster called "Dancing Head". According to legend, in the Kamakura period, three warriors drank together and argued endlessly because of their disagreement. Then they drew their swords and cut off each other's heads.The three severed heads finally merged into one, forming the monster dancing head.

"Guests, here are fresh bamboo clams and eels, do you want to try them?" The three heads are stacked together, and in the tank behind them, you can see fish with shiny scales.

Niijima's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this, and he hurriedly stepped over the head of the dance and walked towards the back.Bubbles are surging in several tanks filled with water, and fresh bamboo fish and eels are tumbling. If you touch them lightly with your fingers, the resistance is still fierce.

"I want these two." She pointed to the most vigorous two among them, and said to Wushou: "Whatever you want to do with it, as long as it tastes good."

"Okay, just wait a moment."

A kappa came out after hearing the news, fished out a bamboo fish and an eel from the tank, and put them on the chopping board to handle them skillfully.

By the way, all the things in the town are provided free of charge by the Nagano Mountain God to the guests who come to the festival.

In other words, all the food, drinks and fun tonight are free of charge!

Kappa skillfully cuts the eel from the back, spreads it with teriyaki sauce, sprinkles some black and white sesame seeds on it, and then puts it on the barbecue rack. Come.

Bamboo clip fish is used to make steamed rice.

After cleaning up, the kappa is roasted with salt first, then put into the rice with seafood broth, cook slowly, and sprinkle some ginger and chopped green onion when it comes out of the pot.

Fujiwara Xingkong was watching intently, when he suddenly heard Niijima's dissatisfied voice.

"Fujiwara, what are you still doing there, come in quickly."

Turning his head to look, he realized that his sister-in-law had already run into the store, and was poking her head out of a tatami room to call him.

"coming."

Fujiwara Xingkong responded, walked to the door of the private room, took off his shoes and entered the room.

Makoto Niijima was fanning at this time, the fox mask was pulled up on his head, and the collar of the yukata seemed to be torn off a lot on purpose, and the snow-white collarbone was bathed in the warm light, with a slight blush.

I always feel that she has bad intentions!

In fact, he felt right.As soon as he sat down, Niijima threw himself directly into his arms.

Fujiwara Xingkong said tiredly: "Aren't you hot?"

Niijima handed him the fan directly, "Fan me."

"Yes Yes."

Fujiwara Xingkong lightly shook her fan, and in her sight, the warm-toned light dyed the fine fluff on her cheeks into a golden yellow, which was really beautiful.

"Fujiwara~~"

"what?"

"If I marry someone else in the future, will you be sad?"

"Fujiwara."

"You said."

Niijima breathed with her mouth slightly open, and the clothes were filled with light moisture.

"I won't hold you responsible."

"Stop talking about this, okay?"

"I won't have a chance to talk about it after I go out."

Sensing her increasingly rapid breathing, Fujiwara Xingkong managed to sort out his chaotic thoughts, and said with difficulty: "Xiao Zhen, listen to me."

"Well, I listen to you for everything." The girl's soft voice melted in the warm air.

"No matter what you choose in the future, I will support you. It is best to fall in love with others. If you can't, then sister Lisa and I will support you for the rest of your life. I dare not promise you anything in the future. What I can do is Do your best to let both of you sisters live happily ever after."

"Who told you to say this!" Niijima raised his head dumbfoundingly, "I just asked if you would like me a little bit, who made you suffer so much here?"

"Uh" Fujiwara Xingkong blinked, and when she was still confused, she urged: "Quickly answer me, do you like me?"

"Xiaozhen is so cute, how could he not like it?"

"Aren't you perfunctory?"

"It can't be said to be perfunctory. When I think that Xiaozhen will be with other men in the future, I feel sour."

"That's good." Niijima raised his face, leaned forward, and kissed his forehead.

When the kappa brought the dishes, the two did not separate, but sat next to each other.

A bouquet of daisies was placed on the small wooden table, and the crisp jingle sound of the cups and plates was very nice.

The oily and golden grilled eel is sprinkled with chopped raw onions, and the fat of the eel melts in the mouth after one bite.

The bamboo fish steamed rice is served in a black pottery wide mouth bowl.

Fujiwara Xingkong took a spoon to mix the rice and bamboo fish meat, and finally put a mint leaf on top and handed it to Niijima.

After taking a sip, the fish meat is already as soft as cotton, and with the faint fragrance of mint, it is really full of summer flavor.

While eating and chatting, the night gradually deepened, and the outside became more and more lively.

When walking out of the store, Fujiwara Xingkong put on the fox mask for her, and habitually rubbed the top of her head twice.

This is his exclusive movement, Niijima took his hand skillfully, there was a smile that couldn't be hidden in his eyes, shining like a puddle of spring water that had been wrinkled.

Walking to the center of the town, there is a bridge with a river flowing under it. There are many monsters gathering under the bridge. It seems that they are releasing river lanterns.

Niijima really wanted to join in the fun, Fujiwara Xingkong had no choice but to buy two river lanterns and squatted by the river together to set them off.

As for what wish to make, it's probably just a matter of men and women.

In just a short while, countless river lanterns floated on the river.The candle flame flickered, flickering, flickering, and there was a glimmer of light shining through the deep water bottom.

It is said that when you make a wish to the gods when the river lanterns are released, the wish you pray in your heart will surely come true.

Niijima raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

So say it.
God must know.

After the river lanterns were set off, the night was already very deep, but the night of the town had already been lit, and the sky was full of brilliance and splendor, illuminating all the dark places as bright as day.

The team of wandering gods in weird clothes rushed back from outside the town and headed for the shrine.There are shrines decorated with phoenixes, floats, frogs carrying drums, rats playing flutes, bands in brightly colored kimonos, dancers, and more.

In the 600-meter-long line, there were actually a few kappa dressed up as Yatengu. Fujiwara Xingkong was secretly amazed when he saw it, and wondered if there were groupies among monsters?
As the wandering god team returned to the shrine, the festival officially entered the most exciting part. The monsters flocked to the shrine behind the town, and the winged monsters simply flew up.

"Fujiwara, let's go up too."

Masa Niijima stood in front of the steps and looked back, holding the round fan in one hand and the hem of the clothes in the other. The belt passed through her slender waist and tied into a beautiful bow at the back. On the edge of the wide sleeves, there were big flowers blooming. Gorgeous cherry blossoms.

Fujiwara Hoshizora followed with a smile, and the two walked hand in hand, tapping their clogs lightly on the bluestone, as if they heard the thick and long ringing of the shrine's bells.

The hundred-step high platform, with lanterns hanging on both sides, leads to a torii gate in the middle of the mountain.

Passing through the torii gate, a brightly lit dark red ancient building appeared in front of you.

This is a shrine in another world, controlled by youkai.
