Chapter 268. Are we all wrong? (4000 words)
Aomori Prefecture is located in the northernmost part of Honshu Island in Japan. It belonged to the Muroo Kingdom during the era of the Reiji Kingdom. Therefore, although its historical and cultural heritage is not as good as that of the ancient capital of Kyoto, it is actually quite rich. From the end of July to early August, the Aomori Sandman Festival, Hirosae Sandman Festival, and Hachiho Sanshe Festival will be held. Even in Japan, it is an important intangible cultural asset.
These things were popularized by Konoshi and Higashinoji and others. When someone held huge lanterns to celebrate, and there was a tai drummer playing music behind them, Takahashi Yumi sighed repeatedly, saying that she was late and missed a lot of things.
It is certain that she will have these complaints.
The Yumimoto Takahashi is in Tokyo, and in Tokyo, there are not many such distinctive folk activities, so it is natural to say that it is particularly difficult to see.
Kosumi Ryoka whispered to comfort her, her best friend who looked very regretful, and said that she would have a good experience with Higashinoji in the future.
This made Takahashi Yumi feel energetic. She whispered in the Shinkansen carriage to see the whales. Fujiwara Aoi next to her ignored her and just took out her cell phone to take a photo outside the window. Although she didn't talk much, she was actually very excited about this trip.
The two of them were happy there, while Higashinoji crossed their aisle and took the painting collection and flipped it from time to time.
After all, he is a professional painter. Although he has not presented his works outside recently, he is still very concerned about the Japanese painting level in this world.
Chihiro Higashino had been sitting with Higashinoji. When she saw him flipping through the paintings, she looked over curiously, but as she looked, she began to yawn and fell asleep halfway... She was not very interested in paintings, but she was very interested in what Takahashi Yumi said to see whales.
During this trip to Honshu Island, Higashinoji mainly plans to meet Kome Ryoka's father, and then take a look at the windmills and experience whaling. When you have time, you will go to the New Century Aomori Art Branch that Kageyama Fumita said - he is very curious about this New Century Art Association.
Apart from that... he had no other idea, and he was playing outside for a while and then planned to return to Tokyo.
As for the serialization of "Unnatural Death" this week or next week... Higashinoji has already finished painting and handed it over to Koharu Hosokawa -
It is impossible to delay manuscripts, and it is also impossible to ask for leave. Higashinoji has never delayed manuscripts and asked for leave once since his debut in comics.
After getting off the Shinkansen and then transferring to the prefecture bus, this was a particularly difficult journey for Aoi Fujiwara... She was taking pictures in the car and playing with her mobile phone, and her head was dizzy? She was already motion sickness and vomiting before she even got to the place. If Yumi Takahashi next to her had been supporting Aoi Fujiwara, who was soft all over, she would have lie down long ago.
I have to say that although Yumi Takahashi is usually a bad friend, she has always called her "short and short" but she is still quite reliable at such critical times? She has been holding her for more than an hour without saying a word - except for touching her butt if she has something to do.
Get off the prefecture bus? Higashinoji took them out of the car? Yumi Takahashi, who was holding Fujiwara Aoi, got off the car, looked around, and then sighed: "Is this where Lianghua has always lived? It's really beautiful, no wonder she can raise a beauty like Lianghua."
This made Konoe Lianghua feel very embarrassed? She turned her head with a red face: "What should I do next? Asi?"
"I searched the Internet... There seems to be a good hostel here." Higashinoji replied with a smile.
Of course, he took care of the travel expenses for Kono Chihaki... He originally planned to take care of the travel expenses for Kono Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara, two Konomi Yoshikari, who were both friends? But their parents disagreed, so Higashinoji had to give up.
Standing firmly on the street, Higashinoji looked around and found that the main road had a strong Showa-era feeling. The wooden black signs on both sides of the street looked quite old. The pedestrians on the street were mainly middle-aged and elderly people, and occasionally young people came out. They were just high school students and middle school students of the country.
As Tokyoites, Yumi Takahashi and Aoi Fujiwara have never seen such sparse appearance in the densely populated Tokyo, so they looked around curiously - these wooden signs and wooden buildings give them a sense of novelty.
Different from them? This scene in front of him was expected by Higashinoji.
Aomori Prefecture has always been a large population exporter in Japan. After graduation, young people here usually go to Beijing to pursue their dreams or go to other economically developed areas... After all, the average monthly salary here is very low? It is often ranked first in Japan's lowest monthly salary ranking.
But Higashinoji didn't care about this? He walked into the convenience store next to him and took a few bottles of drinks to the girls who had just got off the bus and wanted to make them more energetic. Then he bought a map of the county and confirmed the location of his and others to the owner.
It is really difficult to do things without smartphone navigation, and finding a hotel is quite troublesome...
Higashinoji sighed silently, his eyes wandering on the map.
Just as he focused his attention on the map, where he didn't know, several couples had curiously stared at Konogu Lianghua and others standing next to the bus reading signs.
"Senior Weixiang, look, is that a guard?" A girl with a single ponytail who was obviously a high school student spoke next to her.
She was pointing at Konowara Lianghua, who was patting Fujiwara Aoi's back with surprise.
He was indeed full of surprise.
Back then, Konoe Lianghua was a famous person in the grade. She was stupid and had a lot of money. In addition, her slanted bangs were very long, and she was mostly down on her head. At that time, Konoe Lianghua was not very well developed, so she looked like a gloomy and ugly girl. Therefore, she was also quite famous in Aomori Middle School - most of them were notorious.
But although the Komatsu Ryoga in front of her still has slanted bangs, her temperament is completely different from when she was studying at Aomori Middle School.
The black short hair is slightly curled, the big black and white eyes are bright, the face is white and tender, the lips are pink and tender, and the most important thing is... This figure is very good, right? It's a bit too foul.
Even the boys who went out for fun with these girls couldn't move their eyes...
"Is it a Kobaya?" Before the call of senior Weixiang responded, a proactive boy spoke, with a little surprised expression: "But... why did Kobaya suddenly become so beautiful?"
There was a burst of surprise among the crowd.
The entire Aomori Prefecture is so big, with only those schools in the jurisdiction. Many of them have a lot of impressions of Kouwei Lianghua, a "gloomy ugly girl". Even if she transfers to Tokyo later, it will often cause discussions.
But women are changing rapidly... You are too exaggerating, right?
Just as they were still thinking, one of the girls with long hair spoke up disdainfully: "Even if they are beautiful, so what? I could have her bow my head to admit my mistakes before, but now it will be the same! There will be no change."
This girl with long hair is named Weika Nakamura. The 'Senior Weika' just called her. She was studying at Aomori High School and is now in the third grade and is a graduate.
However, due to her average family background and average grades, her parents did not think of sending her to continue her studies in college. So she was always a little jealous of Kougu Lianghua, who had a wealthy family. When Kougu Lianghua was studying at Aomori Middle School, she bullied her more than once.
Another time when Konoe Lianghua was practicing running, she specially put a bottle of chili water for Konoe Lianghua to drink. As a result, Konoe Lianghua was still silly thanking him.
It is precisely because of Kougu's stupid behavior that Nakamura Weika's vanity is very swelling, and she feels that she is nothing except for some money at home. At least in front of her Nakamura Weika, Kougu's vanity is nothing.
Listening to Nakamura Weika's words, several boys laughed and started to make excitement. They didn't care about the conflict between Kome Lianghua and Nakamura Weika. After all, the other party went to Tokyo and became so beautiful... The three girls next to Kome Lianghua were also very good... Are they her Tokyo classmate?
I feel like there is a chance to get to know each other?
A group of people walked over together.
At this time, the Komatsu Ryokai trio and Higashino Chihaya who were standing next to the bus board also noticed the group of people who were laughing just now.
Seeing them coming, Yumi Takahashi touched her head, looking a little confused: "Akui, why do I feel that the group of people are coming towards us?"
"Ah?" Fujiwara Aoi, who was still leaning against the station sign, opened her eyes and turned her head when she heard this, then pushed her glasses, feeling that Yumi Takahashi was making a fuss again.
Maybe they just passed by, but why did they come to her here for us?
"Maybe you're passing by." Fujiwara Aoi responded casually.
"No, Akui, you have never practiced Kendo, you don't know. They have been staring at us since just now." Takahashi Yumi reached out to gesture, and at the same time felt that the other party was coming in a fierce manner, so she put her hand on the ornamental small wooden knife she bought in the station gift shop just now, preparing to catch them off guard.
Chihaya Higashino looked at the young people who were leaning over with some confusion. She didn't know what these people were going to do, but if the other party really came over and moved, she would take out the ace - calling Asi, who was still confirming the map at the convenience store, came over.
There is a problem that cannot be solved without my brother!
Just as they each had their own ideas, Konoe Ryoka seemed to notice something, turned her head and looked at the person who was walking over in surprise: "Senior Nakamura?"
She took the initiative to say hello.
On the other side, Yumi Takahashi stopped seeing this and looked at Fujiwara Aoi.
It turned out that it was someone Konomiya Lianghua knew, so she almost made a mistake.
Seeing Koumai Ryoka coming to greet him, Nakamura Yuka's vanity swelled again. She smiled and nodded, pretending to be caring: "Ryoka, have you just returned?"
"Well, I just came back from Tokyo." Konomi Ryoka nodded.
She still respects this Nakamura senior... However, Higashinoji had said before that the other party's motives were impure...
So Konowa Lianghua hesitated for a while, but was not too close.
"Koshi, what are the names of these people behind you?" Standing behind Weika Nakamura, a boy looked at Chihaki Higashino and Aoi Fujiwara.
They said that the Tsugu dialect in Aomori Prefecture is obscure and difficult to understand. It is said that because almost no one in other prefecture can understand, the program "Tsugu" that is broadcast nationwide will be subtitled with standard language.
Fujiwara Aoi didn't understand what the other party was saying, but just frowned slightly, feeling quite uncomfortable with the other party's gaze of looking at him.
At the same time, she was also a little surprised. Why did Konowa Lianghua have socializing with this group of people who seem to have little cultivation?
So she took the initiative to speak: "Lianghua, let's get here when we reminisce about our past friends. Let's go to the hotel to settle things with our classmates Higashino."
Of course, Konoe Lianghua agreed with this suggestion. After all, she still didn't want to pay too much attention to those who only knew her but had almost never socialized with her.
So she immediately turned around, lowered her head and bowed and said, "Sorry, everyone, I have something to do next."
When they saw Konoe Lianghua and the others wanted to leave, one of the boys couldn't help but speak and stay: "Don't be so anxious, Konoe, you should be visiting Aomori, right? We can be your guide."
There is no way, the quality of the girls Kome Lianghua is too high, and it seems that they all come from Tokyo... People in some small places in Japan have inexplicable pilgrimage and curiosity about Tokyo, and Yumi Takahashi and others are really good-looking... Of course, these young people in Aomori Prefecture have to leave to stay.
"Ryohua, what are they talking about?" Fujiwara Aoi saw that the situation was a little strange, and couldn't help but ask Konoe Lianghua.
Konoe Lianghua relayed what they said.
This made Fujiwara Aoi couldn't help but frown.
Everyone said that they had to go to work hard, but they had to force themselves to stay... This is too ignorant.
Yumi Takahashi next to her saw that her best friend's expression was wrong, and her usual jumping eyes were very serious. Her other hand was placed on the small wooden knife for viewing, and she was about to give them a ruthless head later.
At this time, Konoe Lianghua showed her side that she had not shown much. She looked at the group of people and spoke in a firm tone that did not retreat: "Sorry, we really have something else to do next. Can you please stop disturbing us? Also, I, and the three behind me, already have boyfriends, please sorry we cannot accompany you."
She spoke very heavily and resolutely, and also used some tricks.
At most, the four of them are Komae Ryoka who has boyfriends, Fujiwara Aoi, Takahashi Yumi, and Higashino Chihaya are still single...
These are what she learned from Higashinoji.
On the other side, Nakamura Weika and his friends couldn't help but be stunned when they heard Kouwei Lianghua's tone of being so determined and unyielding.
If it weren't for confirming that the sound was Konoha Lianghua... they would have doubted whether Konoha Lianghua in front of them had been replaced...
In the past, she was so soft that anyone could bully her...
Not exactly like it is now...
