When passing the stone bridge, Akina Nakamori walked halfway, stopped, squatted on the edge and looked down.
The stone bridge is short, cumbersome and has no fence.
"So deep~" She probed her head.
Topo Star was very curious, so Iwahashi Shinichi stood next to her and waited. Nakamori Akina had seen enough, handed his hand to him, took his hand and stood up.
"I feel dizzy." She complained with a grimace.
If I squat for a little longer, I will feel even more dizzy.
However, this little annoyance disappeared in a flash, and she began to vividly describe what she saw. Akina Nakamori seemed to have an illusion, and mistakenly believed that Shinichi Iwahashi was afraid of heights, so he did not dare to look down with her.
She talked cheerfully, and Iwahashi Shinichi listened and pulled her off the bridge first.
The air after the rain is fresh and moist, and the fragrance of vegetation is wafting in the mountains. The bright sky shines through the gloom, making the plants that have been fully soaked by the rain appear particularly green and bright.
Insects chirp in the mountains, and the chirping insect cage hanging on the Hakata woven belt echoes them.
After crossing the stone bridge, not far out, Akina Nakamori squatted down in front of the bush again, stretched out her fingers and pinched a small flower, "What kind of flower is this?"
Iwahashi Shinichi shook his head, she didn't even recognize him, and it was even less possible for him to recognize him.
However, it didn't matter whether there was an answer or not. Her curious fingers were rummaging in the bushes, and she found the ring that Shinichi Iwahashi had given her. At first glance, she thought it was a similarly unknown little flower in the bushes.
"You have been wearing the ring." Shinichi Iwahashi looked at the little flower on her finger that he knew the name of.
Akina Nakamori nodded matter-of-factly.
"Are you going to wear it on the show?" he was curious.
"Occasionally." Akina Nakamori stood up and raised her hand in front of Shinichi Iwahashi, "When you wear it, wear a few others on other fingers, so that you won't be particularly noticed."
She shared her tips with Shinichi Iwahashi.
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her like she was heartless and helpless and innocent.
"I like this ring very much." Akina Nakamori said happily, "And..."
"And?" Shinichi Iwahashi was curious.
She looked at him with a smile and began the long-lost part of persecuting the cat, "I won't tell you now."
"Sigh." Iwahashi Shinichi sighed, "Say half and leave half. This kind of thing is the most uncomfortable thing."
Akina Nakamori didn't want to listen to him and made up her mind not to say those words. She left him where he was and stepped forward. After walking a few steps, she saw a large puddle of water in the distance.
Take a step to the side and be prepared to avoid it.
If you step on it, the splash will be so great that your socks and the hem of your kimono will get wet.
However, when she really got closer and saw the sky and trees reflected in the water, she stopped her hurried steps and stood there bent down, enjoying the view.
The one in kimono couldn't walk very fast, and Iwahashi Shinichi followed her slowly.
"There is still me in the water." As soon as Iwahashi Shinichi walked over, Nakamori Akina pointed to the reflection in the puddle and said to him with a smile.
He listened and followed her lead, bending down and looking at the big puddle.
The reflections of two people overlapped into one in the water.
Akina Nakamori laughed loudly. After laughing enough, she stretched and took a deep breath, "Let's go, let's go~"
I walked up and down, and from time to time I was attracted by something along the way. It was a short journey and took nearly half an hour. After leaving Tokyo, Akina Nakamori seemed to be fresh and curious about everything she could see.
Heart.
What is even more new to Shinichi Iwahashi is Akina Nakamori, who runs and stops like a child, stopping even for trivial discoveries.
…
Dinner was eaten outside. Ito has mountains and seas, and a lot of seasonal products. The dinner was quite sumptuous. Unfortunately, Shinichi Iwahashi had to work as a coachman, so he couldn't have a good drink.
He didn't drink, and Akina Nakamori didn't want to drink either. It was obviously to accompany him, but just like that, she wanted to make some money, and deliberately teased him, "If you drink in front of the producer, you will be scolded."
She was so vindictive. Shinichi Iwahashi laughed. After thinking about it for a moment, he calmly replied to her, "It's not okay to just perform well in front of the producer."
"..."
Akina Nakamori couldn't stand him. She snorted and wrinkled her nose at him, "You really act like a producer."
"It's really 'Producer-san' after all." Shinichi Iwahashi said.
The producer travels with the singer who is about to be produced. It feels okay.
Hearing what he said so plausibly, Akina Nakamori burst into laughter. She picked up the tea cup, got up from her seat, reached over and touched his tea cup, "I know, I know. Producer-san."
Before coming here for vacation, when making plans, Iwahashi Shinichi made inquiries in advance and made reservations at restaurants.
Tonight, it's just the two of them here.
If you fall in love with a Taopusta, even if she treats you with a bowl of soft and fragrant rice from time to time, it won't work if you don't have enough money.
The two of them stayed in a Japanese-style room, with the sliding door open and a Japanese-style garden outside.
The meal was almost finished when a faint rumble of thunder came from the distance. Looking at the sky, it was dark in the distance.
"looks like it's going to rain."
A thunderstorm was approaching, but Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori looked at each other and smiled.
The day's itinerary has ended, and now even if it rains, there is no need to worry about disrupting the plan. For these two, they made sunny dolls, hung the chirping insect cages around their waists, and looked forward to today's outing with such a mood.
Said, already lucky.
The two of them continued the dinner unhurriedly.
During this period, I heard rumbling thunder from time to time. The sound seemed very far away, but I don’t know if it was an illusion, or it seemed like it was slowly approaching.
It didn't know when it would rain. After finishing their meal, they left the restaurant. The two of them didn't go anywhere else and went straight back to the villa. Besides, the thunderstorm was coming, and it was stuffy and humid, which made people feel uncomfortable.
The wine I couldn't drink during the meal was still there when I came back.
The producer's words are teaching, and the singer's words are responding, but their bodies are very honest.
Wandering around outside, changing from one place to another, Nakamori Akina was full of energy and tried her best. When she came back, she finally started to feel tired, so she fell into the sofa without changing her clothes.
Iwahashi Shinichi took two cans of beer, opened one of them, and handed it to her.
"You sit here too." Akina Nakamori told him coquettishly.
Shinichi Iwahashi obeyed and sat down next to her.
The window was closed before going out, and the sunny doll that successfully performed today's task was hanging by the window, motionless.
"I'll go back to Tokyo tomorrow afternoon."
Akina Nakamori took a swig of beer and sighed. After sighing, she slowly showed an embarrassed smile to Shinichi Iwahashi——
This look is really laughable.
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and didn't take it to heart.
"If it doesn't rain tomorrow, we can still go out and play." Shin Iwahashi poured beer into his mouth.
The confused detective listened to his words, and while looking forward to it, she began to assert again, "The thunderstorm will not rain all night."
"Yeah." Iwahashi Shinichi listened.
She finished the beer and breathed a long sigh of relief. She lowered her head and looked at her feet. She wiggled her big toe and other four toes up and down like a child.
"The big toe is all alone," she muttered, staring at her toes.
It is true that wearing tabi socks separates the big toe from the other four toes. But saying "alone" to the toes can somewhat show the personality of Akina Nakamori.
Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her unconsciously waggling toes, stretched out his foot and touched her big toe. Nakamori Akina burst into laughter, "What are you doing?"
"Make friends with your big toe." He said seriously.
After receiving such an answer, Nakamori Akina burst out laughing. But she really cooperated with his words, waggled her toes, and even took the opportunity to show off her voice acting skills.
"Thank you. With you as my friend, I am no longer alone." She pinched her throat and spoke like a child. As she spoke, she thought of the person beside her.
Because he is there, because I met him...
Iwahashi Shinichi stared at her dangling toes, becoming more and more curious about the split-toed socks. He lowered his head and looked at it, "How do you wear this?"
Nakamori Akina came back to her senses and looked at his serious and curious expression. She felt funny and helpless.
After accepting that he was no different from foreigners when it came to kimonos, Nakamori Akina no longer felt strange about his superficial questions that made people think he was pretending to be stupid.
Alas, just treat him as a foreigner... regarding the kimono thing.
She lifted up the hem of her kimono slightly, revealing the ankle of her tabi socks, along with a small piece of calf skin. "Here." She touched the back of the ankle of the sock with her other foot. "There is a fixed clip."
Iwahashi Shin couldn't take his eyes away, looking at her playfully swaying feet and the exposed calf.
Nakamori Akina deliberately wanted to tease him and asked him jokingly, "Do you want to see it?"
I felt a little embarrassed when I said it.
When she spoke, Shinichi Iwahashi was not polite. He bent down, reached out and touched her ankle wearing socks. Sure enough, he touched something like a buckle.
He used a little force in his hand to hold her slender ankle.
Nakamori Akina lowered her head and looked at the back of Shinichi Iwahashi's head, feeling as if he was lying on her lap. She was still holding the hem of her kimono in her hand, and his hand was holding her ankle.
This situation made her feel uncomfortable all over. It was as if she had been drunk and was feeling hot all over.
Iwahashi Shinichi held her ankle, and with his hand slightly upward, he saw the skin of her calf. Looking down, he saw her feet wearing tabi socks.
He looked at the gap between the big toe and the second toe, and a strange idea came to his mind.
Akina Nakamori was distracted when suddenly something was stuffed between her big toe and second toe, which startled her. When she lowered her head, she saw that it was a finger.
She was angry, funny, ashamed and annoyed. She raised her hand and pushed the evil-minded guy.
Iwahashi Shinichi took his hand back and straightened up.
Topo Star refused to let him go and hit him with his arms. Iwahashi Shinichi took care of his fault and continued honestly. The wide sleeves of the kimono were floating in front of his eyes, like clothes on the fabric.
butterfly pattern comes to life.
Akina Nakamori started to feel funny while slapping him. While laughing, she scolded him for being evil-minded.
After beating and scolding, Nakamori Akina turned her head and looked at Iwahashi Shinichi's innocent face.
She looked at such a steady face, but she had such evil intentions. Nakamori Akina looked at him hard, became angry again, rushed to him, stretched out her hand, and pinched his cheek.
Iwahashi Shinichi blinked and looked at Nakamori Akina's angry little face.
He was in the wrong, and it was okay to be punished for doing bad things. However, Akina Mori's movements became larger and larger, and he began to feel that something was wrong. He lowered his gaze and looked at the kimono on her body and the waistband.
belt.
Doesn’t it mean that it wrinkles easily and the belt is easily untied—that’s why I don’t let him hug me?
Iwahashi Shinichi wanted to speak, but his cheek was still pinched by her, so he couldn't say anything. He raised his hand, placed it on Nakamori Akina's punishing hands, and held them.
She didn't use much strength in her hand, but with this strength, Shinichi Iwahashi took it off and held it in his hand.
"Why are you like this?" Akina Nakamori complained softly to him, but in the end, she no longer felt angry in her words.
Shinichi Iwahashi simply refused to answer the question and pulled her into his arms. Akina Nakamori made a fuss, but her energy was exhausted, and she was pulled into his arms and leaned against him.
For a while, neither of them spoke.
The room was quiet, and the sound of breathing could be heard clearly. She twisted her waist, and the songbug on her belt also squeaked.
Iwahashi Shinichi lowered his head and kissed her lips.
Akina Nakamori smiled with the corners of her lips raised. He saw it and kissed the corners of her lips again. The more he kissed her, the harder she laughed.
"The bugs are chirping again."
Iwahashi Shin put his hand on the belt of her kimono, rubbed it gently, and began to think about how to solve it.
Akina Nakamori nodded "Yeah, yeah", "That's why it hasn't rained."
She really dared to say it.
"If it doesn't rain tomorrow, where are you going to go?"
Iwahashi Shinichi told her, "Go between Ito and Izu..." As he said this, he started to untie her kimono belt. But the knot and untie were completely useless.
Like a child who has received a carefully wrapped gift but is anxious because he cannot untie the ribbon tied to the box.
"Didn't you say that the belt can be opened easily?"
Iwahashi Shinichi recalled what she said before going out during the day and asked her.
Akina Nakamori thought of all the things she had done to fool him. She chuckled and held down his hand, "I lied to you." She laughed and said, "The belt of the kimono is the most difficult to untie. I don't understand.
People, no matter how hard they try, it’s useless.”
"..."
Iwahashi Shinichi was speechless and asked tentatively: "What about the rule that men are not allowed to look at women when they wear kimono?"
Akina Nakamori blinked, "That's because I'm very shy."
"..." So there is nothing more.
Iwahashi Shinichi began to wonder whether some of the great kimono knowledge she told her this morning was true, and some of it was her making excuses to deliberately tease him.
Realizing that her secret had been exposed, Akina Nakamori began to experience the feeling of being caught in a prank.
Seeing that Shinichi Iwahashi was suspicious of everything at first, she tried to make amends for herself, "However, it is easy to mess up and become wrinkled. These are all true..."
