On the shopping street in the center of Kiyose, Nakamori Akina turned her head to the sky, crossed the bridge from the direction of the shrine, and walked this way from the riverside avenue. As soon as the Hongbai Song Festival ended the night before, she hurried back to her hometown, just in time

She ate the New Year's food box prepared by her mother. Unexpectedly, on the second night at home, her nephews and nieces kept her awake. She was exhausted and couldn't resist the children's repeated pleas. She dragged her heavy legs and got up.

Go to the shrine early to pay homage.

Nakamori Akina has been very naughty since she was a child, and is a famous naughty child in the shopping street. It actually takes longer to walk through the shopping street to the shrine, but she coaxed her nephews and nieces, saying that it was a shortcut, but in fact she wanted to

Go to the shopping street and eat a lot.

There is a sushi restaurant at the end of the shopping street. The restaurant is narrow and can only accommodate ten customers at most, but it has the unforgettable taste of Nakamori Akina's hometown. She has known the owner of this restaurant for a long time, and she was a

When she was a child, her boss took good care of her. Whenever she saw the Nakamori children coming over, she couldn't help but add more rice to their sushi.

When she was a child, Akina Nakamori would save her pocket money and eat out. She knew all the delicious restaurants in Kiyose Street and alleys. There was a time when she especially liked to eat sea bream. Once her sister Aki Nakamori introduced her, she was immediately attracted to it.

I was fascinated by this sushi restaurant on the shopping street and became a regular here.

To exaggerate a bit, when she was abroad and her heart was racing toward Kiyose, the first thing she thought of was her hometown where her mother was. Needless to say, in a corner of her mind, the sushi restaurant here always popped up.

The appearance of the boss, the demeanor of the boss, and the Akashi sea bream and prawns still jumping under his kitchen knife.

Oops!

Akina Nakamori slowed down her pace. She had forgotten that the sushi restaurant was closed that day. Looking at the "Closed" sign at the door of the store, she was anxious and angry. What was anxious was that she would go abroad tomorrow.

She was angry about why she didn't come over earlier. She couldn't think about anything until she got the sushi she longed for.

Angrily, she led the children through the commercial street and returned to the main road. Fortunately, she was accompanied by her nieces and nephews. Otherwise, she would have been carrying such a lonely and disappointed mood home.

"Mingcai-chan! Look, it's so lively over there!"

My nephew, Ming Ming, broke away from Nakamori Akina's hand and ran forward happily. Nakamori Akina had no choice but to hurry up and rush forward. She finally caught the child, but when she saw Ming Ming's clothes were messy, she squatted down and tidied them up.

Okay scarf.

"It's time to welcome the bride!"

Nakamori Akina raised her index finger between her lips, pretending to be serious, "Shh!"

Even though she has a dozen nieces and nephews at such a young age, this Taopusida is still a girl who is not yet under age. Seeing such a lively place in front of her, her childlike and innocent curiosity was aroused.

Not only for Nakamori Akina herself, but also for her young nephews and nieces, keeping quiet together but quietly approaching the wedding ceremony is an alternative "real pretending to be a family" game. It's just that the person who plays a leading role in this game

, none other than Akina Nakamori herself.

Seeing Mr. Illuminating cautiously approaching the scene, she felt that children were extremely fun.

Even Taopu Sada cannot avoid worldliness.

The bride arrived late. Akina Nakamori peeked for a while and glanced at the groomsmen subconsciously. When her eyes fell on the tall man, she couldn't help but froze.

He had refreshing short hair and wore a decent kimono. At first glance, he felt that he was an upright and good young man. His thick brows and entire face were filled with joy, but she

But I feel that he has a shadow of sadness and sometimes looks older.

Nakamori Akina had an inexplicable feeling that if he looked at her seriously and closed his eyes with her for a long time, the power that supported him would be in danger of being diluted and dispersed.

"The bride is so beautiful." Her nephew's voice interrupted her.

Nakamori Akina looked back, holding Izuku-kun to stop him from running around, and pointed his toes towards the road to the shrine, wanting to rush to the statue in one go.

"It's beautiful." She said rather absentmindedly, but couldn't help but look at the noisy scene where the bride was being welcomed.

The niece, who is one year older than Akira-kun, thought Akina Nakamori was sulking because she didn't get the sushi. She followed her aunt's realization and deliberately joked, "Does Akina-chan want to eat other people's sushi at the wedding banquet?"

These words seemed to step on Nakamori Akina's tail. She puffed up her cheeks, widened her eyes, and made an eye-catching look. She didn't realize that she had drawn the man's attention to her. She was at a loss and felt aggrieved.

, she wanted to be angry with the child, but she felt stingy. Her heart was warm, her willfulness overshadowed her reason, and she acted like a little girl that was difficult for children to understand.

"I didn't!"

"It's boring! I thought Akina-chan would lead us to a grand wedding banquet and elope with the bride." Illumination-kun agreed.

"You kids, who do you think my aunt is?" Nakamori Akina felt that the children were angry and funny. She tried hard to imitate her brothers and sisters in educating children, but instead she ended up acting like the eldest sister among the children.

.

"Akari-chan, do you want to come over and take a look?"

Nakamori Akina subconsciously refused, "No, no need. We still have to go to the shrine. If we go late, the gods will be unhappy, and then I won't be allowed to bring you gifts."

There is nothing evil about children. As long as they hear words such as "gifts" and "candies", they will be played around by adults. They used big sticks and candies to pull the children away. After walking for a while, Zhongsen

Akina couldn't help but look back, only to find that the man had already gotten into the wedding car and left with her brothers.

Suddenly, she felt very lost in her heart, and everything became boring. But she was unwilling to give in, and eagerly wanted to rush to the man and say congratulations to him. Even so, she had never met the man before.

The courage to meet a "stranger" once.

She can only keep this secret in her heart.

Nakamori Akina gradually became depressed and anxious.

……

When we welcomed the bride, we encountered some small troubles. There was still some snow on the road, so Narita Masaru and a group of groomsmen hurriedly cleaned it up for fear of staining the bride's skirt. The wet snow soaked the toes, which made them a little cold.

He straightened up and moved his body, but felt someone looking at him. He looked into the distance as a habit, and was shocked when he saw the back of Akina Nakamori. However, he swallowed back what he originally wanted to say and fell silent.

It went down and turned into an indescribable sigh.

Narita Masaru thought that he would treat this accident as a secret and bury it forever. What he didn't know was that on such a day, Nakamori Akina also saw him.

Arriving at the shrine, it was the first time to participate in a pure Japanese wedding. There were so many rules to abide by. After the novelty wore off, Narita Masaru listened to the music played at the shrine and felt uncomfortable all over, almost like sad music.

After cheering up and listening to the priests reciting prayers, and watching Narita Kyōji and the bride dressed in white worshiping each other, under the witness of the gods, the marriage was concluded.

Immediately afterwards, the guests and all the guests went to the hotel for a wedding banquet. The wedding banquet was quite grand. The more people came, the more gifts were given. Sometimes the wedding was planned carefully, and the amount calculated afterwards was even more.

More than the principal cost of the wedding, it can be said that the share money is also the help and blessing from relatives and friends to the newlyweds in starting a family.

At this wedding banquet, Narita Katsu was busy helping out, and he also had to take care of his own guests. He was so involved that he thought he was the groom.

As soon as his younger brother got married, Narita Masaru became the only bachelor among the second generation of many in-laws. Of course, no one would be so shameless as to bother with Narita Masaru's personal issues at Narita Kyōsuke's wedding. What's more, in the

In a society like Japan where family ties are indifferent, the number of singles is still very large. Such things are not worth mentioning, and no one wants to inadvertently hurt the feelings of irrelevant people.

During this period, the bride's sister-in-law was very active. She heard from somewhere that Narita Masaru was the manager of Roppongi Daikun and asked a lot about live performances.

But his mind was not there. He avoided some sensitive topics very tactfully and dealt with his sister-in-law with ease. However, he thought of the woman's back and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Shengjun."
