Fortunately, Kashiwa Yukina, who was once again forgotten by everyone, finally arrived at the scene in time to gather.
Having been forgotten so many times, the girl seems to have long been accustomed to the fact that her sense of existence is low, so she is not surprised or even angry at all. Instead, she has a normal expression on her face, which makes people feel ashamed.
And now that the little idols have finally arrived, it's time to set off.
...
...
The sky is getting darker.
Once the golden light in the western sky dissipates little by little, the brightness in the field of vision will drop a notch. The disk-like moon will become more and more brilliant, and the sky will seem to be dyed with a layer of hazy gray. This is the time between night and dusk.
People participating in the fireworks festival started to move one after another. Mats of different colors were spread on the lawn, and they each took their positions, preparing for the grand fireworks that followed.
At first glance, not everyone is wearing a yukata, but there seems to be more girls. There are also quite a few people wearing cool and convenient short-sleeved clothes, full of summer atmosphere.
It is precisely because of this that Baiyunshan's group of people stands out in the crowd, not only because the little idols are wearing various kinds of yukata, but also because their appearance and temperament are obviously different from those of the passers-by around them. After all, it has been more than half a year since CD debuted. Counting last year, it has been almost a year since they became idols. Compared with the beginning, the changes in the girls are still very obvious, at least in this fireworks festival, they are still Can be surprisingly eye-catching.
Therefore, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Baiyunshan still asked them to cover up before setting off. Although given Nogizaka's current popularity, it seems unlikely that one or two of them would be recognized alone on the street. Sex, but group action is different. Such a large group of beautiful girls marching in yukata, no matter how you look at it, it is something that people are very concerned about.
The group of people walked along the river bank, walking on the uneven stone road. The surrounding scenery was noisy and peaceful. The voices of people not far away gradually faded away, but the chirping of cicadas on the forest path could be heard from time to time. The scenery was very beautiful. The air on the road is also fresh and cool.
However, since the feet are wearing wooden clogs, walking is always a little inconvenient and the speed is relatively slow.
"Baiyun-sang, will you twist your foot if you keep walking like this?"
Finally, after walking for a few minutes, one girl couldn't help but express concern.
When Baiyunshan heard this, he subconsciously glanced at a certain girl, and sure enough, he saw Akimoto Manatsu staggered suddenly at this time and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the girls next to him had quick eyesight and hands to catch her in time, thus avoiding her knee. Directly making close contact with the ground... The corners of his mouth suddenly twitched and he thought about it seriously.
Hmm... I forgot that a normal Lu Qiuyuan might fall down, but on such a stone road, the risk would undoubtedly be even greater. It can be seen from the situation just now that if you accidentally fall, it is nothing, but if you accidentally roll down from the top, it will be terrible——
So the decision was made quickly. Baiyun Mountain asked the girls to go down the stairs of this road and come to the real shore. This is a relatively easy stone road. It is easier to walk, but the scenery is not as good as the road above. That’s it.
As the sky gets darker, the street lamps on the shore are also lit one after another. Perhaps they are worried that tourists who come here at night will accidentally fall into the river because it is too dark, so the brightness of the street lamps is very bright, illuminating the road under their feet clearly. Incomparable.
Not long after leaving, the crowd became noisy again.
It suddenly dawned on me that there were more than a dozen boats parked on the water near the river bank here. They were only the size of fishing boats, but they didn't smell fishy. Obviously they were not used for real fishing, but just for this park. It’s just a water facility, so we stopped here.
"Part of tonight's fireworks will be lit on a boat here, and then sent a little further away from the river bank. They will not be released until they reach the center. It will definitely be beautiful then."
Baiyunshan explained to the girls around him, and walked towards the guy who looked like a staff member on the shore, and said: "But it is precisely because of this that I want to get on the boat and experience the fireworks above my head on the endlessly flowing Arakawa River. It’s not easy to bloom beauty. After all, people are still worried that too many people will affect work. I also asked the store manager for a long time, and the store manager only agreed to me——"
"Store manager?"
The little idols were a little surprised, and more people were puzzled. After all, not all the girls present knew about the store manager Yangchuan.
The girls who knew him, such as Hashimoto Nanami, Shiraishi Mai and others, couldn't help but be surprised and confused in their hearts. Didn't that store manager own a ramen shop? Why is the fireworks festival related to him?
Baiyunshan did not continue to explain, but went straight to the staff member and said hello. He took off his sun hat and saw that it was the familiar face of the Yangchuan store manager.
"Although the ramen shop is my main business, when the fireworks festival is held at this time of year, I will still come over to help."
As if he knew what they were thinking, the store manager smiled kindly at them, explained, and then said hello: "Good evening, um... what should I call you, Nogizaka-san?"
"Good evening~"
The little idols quickly bent down and responded politely.
The store manager couldn't help laughing heartily, then sighed and praised: "What a group of good-looking children~ It's good to be young. I think the last time I went out to the fireworks display with so many young girls, they were already It happened decades ago. Thinking about it now, I was just in junior high school at that time——"
"Your two daughters are so old, so you don't need to recall these old stories in front of us anymore, right?" Baiyunshan was not in a sentimental mood at all. He stood aside, waving his hands lazily and urging: "Store manager, hurry up. Is it okay? The fireworks display is about to start. If we don’t let us get on the boat, it will be too late——"
"You're the only one who talks too much, brat!"
The store manager scolded him angrily, and Baiyunshan could only curl his lips and say nothing. He could argue confidently in front of others, but it was not that easy in front of the store manager. After all, the old man had given him so much He always kept the kindness in his heart silently. Although he usually bickers happily, in terms of respect, even a certain Hokkaido girl cannot match the respect he has for the store manager.
The little idols around him who saw him like this for the first time couldn't help but pursed their lips and snickered.
"Okay, this time I'm letting you go for the sake of Hashimoto and the others. Come up quickly. You're right. There are still about ten minutes left -"
However, the store manager was also known for being hard-spoken and soft-hearted. He patted Bai Yunshan on the shoulder and said nothing more. He and his little idols stepped on the benches on the shore one after another and jumped into the deck cabin of the boat.
The sky was completely dark, and the number of people preparing to watch the fireworks display on the shore seemed to have increased. They were like mountains and seas, and dense crowds not only gathered on the lawns or open spaces on the shore, but even on the railings of the bridge further away. Yes, it looks very lively.
But the water is unusually empty and quiet. Several other boats can be seen in the field of vision, but they are far away. In addition, the light on the water is obviously not as clear as on the ground, so it is easy to ignore them, as if they are in a The isolated island swayed slightly with the rise and fall of the water.
Not only that, the temperature on the water is obviously much cooler than on the shore. The night breeze blew through the wide sleeves of the yukata, and you could even feel a hint of coldness, which was refreshing.
Baiyunshan stood on the deck, feeling the slight sway under his feet and the cool evening breeze on his skin, and suddenly thought of a poem.
Although the original intention of the poem is not very appropriate here, after all, the poem describes the cold spring and the blooming flowers and willows, which is different from the current scene. But when it comes to fireworks, when it comes to firework displays, when he thinks of the fleeting beauty and melancholy of fireworks, he can't help but think of this poem -
Ten miles away from Hantang Road, the fireworks are half-awake.
