In mid-July, the summer sun is like fire.
The city seems to have entered the world of insects. As long as there are trees, the noisy cicadas can be heard in every corner of the building. While the billowing heat wave distorts the air in front of the field of vision, the sound is also distorted a lot. The cement walls and tall glass surround and reflect everything, as if to prove that this is the prosperity of mankind.
Akihabara is still lively on weekends.
Baiyun Mountain is no stranger to this place, but the reasons for coming there have always been different. The comics and games in the Wutongzaka apartment were the reasons why he came here before.
Starting from this year, his purpose of coming here is more for work reasons. After all, in addition to being a well-known holy place for otakus, this place is also the home base of Nogizaka46's official rival AKB48, with a dazzling variety of theaters. Baiyunshan came here more to learn from experience and find something for his little idols to learn from. Although the styles they need to follow in the future are different, the path of their predecessors is still worthy of reference.
But today, he has returned to his previous purpose.
Yes, Baiyunshan is here to buy games today.
"Monster Hunter 3gwiiu Edition", in its original world, should have waited until December this year to be released on Neon. However, due to the early release of its predecessor 3ds version, this version has also been advanced a few months. , which also contains many optimization details that were not originally available: for example, it can not only share archives with the original version, but can even connect across platforms. It can be said that the quality is excellent.
Baiyunshan was naturally itchy, so after learning about its release date on the first weekend, he rushed over non-stop.
The noise of the tram passing by on the light rail shook the summer cicadas on the branches and leaves nearby, making them quieter.
Get off the bus at Akihabara Station, take one of the three exits directly to the main entrance of Electric Town, and soon arrive at the bustling street.
At a glance, Akihabara is lined with high-rise buildings and dazzlingly bustling shops selling various anime and games. Since Akihabara on Sundays will set up warning signs from 12 noon to 5 pm to prohibit vehicles from passing through, it is also It is the so-called walker's paradise, so this section of the road can only be walked on two legs.
It was a hot summer day and there were many people on the road. It was really uncomfortable to walk in the hot and noisy sky. Fortunately, the destination of Baiyun Mountain was not far away. He skillfully turned the street and went upstairs to the sales place of this trip. .
After taking a closer look, the result was not what he expected. There was already a long queue outside the store. It was obvious that there were many people who planned to buy games during the weekend. He had no choice but to line up along with the crowd and lowered his head to play with his mobile phone.
But as he waited, he noticed something was wrong. He turned his head slightly and found that there was also a long queue next to him. What was different from the queue he was in was that the entire queue was almost completely visible at a glance. She is a girl, carrying a bag and a discounted parasol, she looks particularly unique.
What's happening here?
Baiyunshan was stunned. Although Neon particularly likes to queue up, and you can see people queuing up almost everywhere in restaurants and merchandise stores, but isn't this too strange? Could it be that there is a signing event for a popular actor over there? But looking at the colorful anime images printed on these people's clothes, they obviously belong to the ACG two-dimensional circle. What's going on?
Just when he was confused, the queue next to him suddenly started to flow. People moved slowly towards the inside. After a while, they suddenly stopped. The atmosphere in the invisible place ahead was a bit chaotic.
The incident happened suddenly. A girl in the queue failed to steady her body and stumbled to the side. Fortunately, Baiyunshan, who had been silently paying attention next to her, noticed this scene and managed to hold her up with quick hands and eyes. Let the girl have direct and intimate contact with the hot ground.
"what happened?"
"Why did you stop suddenly?"
"It seems that someone in front has suffered from heatstroke. The staff is carrying the person out. The ambulance can't come in at this time-"
...
Chattering sounds came from the front. Baiyunshan tried his best to lift the girl next to him, listened attentively to understand the general situation, and then looked at the other party and subconsciously asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
"Ah, I'm fine, thank you."
The girl quickly clasped her hands in front of her and bowed and nodded. After a moment of hesitation, she politely expressed her gratitude.
"It's okay."
Baiyunshan glanced at the other party with some concern. The girl was dressed in simple clothes, which was a bit out of tune with the surrounding painting style. The girls lining up around her were basically wearing skirts and sandals to cope with the scorching heat. She was the only one wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt with English printed on it and a pair of dark sports pants. Also wearing a pair of ordinary sneakers.
At first glance, it’s simple and clear. It doesn’t look like you’re queuing up while shopping, but more like you’re going out to take out the trash.
However, it seems that you don’t need to put on sneakers when taking out the trash. From this point of view, it seems more appropriate to describe it as not knowing how to dress and match. Well, just like a certain flower club president in the past——
In addition, on top of the girl's head, she also wore a black peaked cap to protect her from the sun. A large amount of long black hair as straight as a waterfall leaked out from the side and back of the hat, and the front part of the hat blocked a large shadow. With his head lowered, his appearance could not be seen clearly. Only when he nodded could he catch a glimpse of his true face in Lushan.
However, to his surprise, the girl's face was completely different from her clothes. She had beautiful features, indifferent and picturesque, as transparent as ink droplets lightly dabbed on white rice paper, and like a stream of air sent from the corridor in summer. It is as refreshing as the breeze, and refreshing as the torrential rain falling during the sweltering heat. It is an unforgettable sight.
What's even more rare is that not only are the clothes simple and simple, but the girl's face is also the same. She is facing the sky without any makeup. Judging from her appearance, she is extremely rare. After all, she looks like she should have been around. In middle school, as far as neon is concerned, it is already very common for girls in middle school to learn makeup.
And even without makeup, this look still looks rare——
Baiyunshan couldn't help but sigh slightly.
It was just a sigh of relief that he couldn't do it if he tried to talk to her again, not only because he was not so enthusiastic and cheerful to begin with, but also because of what the girl said just now.
I'm fine, thank you.
It was just a simple thank you, which sounded calm, and the tone seemed to be deliberately trying to express her gratitude, but Baiyunshan could still feel the girl's indifference hidden under the words.
That kind of indifference is not indifference on a cold level, but a simple indifference that is not sociable and does not know how to communicate with others. It has been a long-term indifference that has been cultivated in the world that one knows.
And with this indifferent tone...it's better not to disturb her——
Baiyunshan complained secretly in his heart.
