Today is a very suitable weather for holding a festival.
Perhaps thanks to the blessing of being in the countryside, the night sky is clear and clear, and I can clearly see the stars twinkling in the sky. This is a very rare scene in the city.
There will be countless fireworks blooming under such a night sky. Just thinking about it will make people feel relaxed and happy, and they secretly look forward to it.
Of course, the lively atmosphere at the festival venue is also very enjoyable.
The Fireworks Festival is held right next to the shrine.
There is a river bank next to the river.
At this moment, there are many stalls lined up along the river bank.
"Takoyaki! Very delicious takoyaki!"
“Freshly baked meatballs!”
"It's target shooting, it's target shooting! There's a prize if you hit it!"
"You can catch goldfish here! Come and have a look!"
In each stall, the owners of the stalls gave out warm greetings, loud shouts followed one after another, and took the lead in creating a lively atmosphere.
The lively atmosphere seems to have raised the summer temperature a bit, and there is also festival music playing all around, making children run over in laughter and laughter. Adults are also fully enjoying it, and Many girls were wearing yukatas, looking much quieter and more elegant than usual.
"This way! Come here quickly!"
Harutora took the lead and walked at the front, waving to everyone.
"Don't do this, it's embarrassing."
Dong'er sighed and put his hands in his pockets, looking like a gangster who wouldn't let strangers in. However, he walked forward obediently after Harutora's greeting.
As for Natsume, she grabbed Luo Zhen's hand and pointed to a stall.
"what is that?"
"Takoyaki."
"It looks delicious."
"What? Haven't you eaten it?"
"No... no"
"Then go and buy it."
Luo Zhen took Natsume to the takoyaki stall and bought a few skewers of takoyaki under Natsume's embarrassed expression. She gave one skewer to not only Natsume, but also Harutora and Touji.
Things like this have been happening since the beginning.
Natsume held takoyaki in one hand and dorayaki in the other. While quietly eating the snacks in his hands, his eyes were staring at the surrounding stalls with sparkling eyes.
He looked like a child visiting a festival for the first time.
This made Luo Zhen even surprised.
"I said, Natsume." Luo Zhen couldn't help but ask, "Have you never been to a festival?"
This should be impossible, right
Not to mention other festivals, the Fireworks Festival is held once a year. How could Natsume not visit it
But seeing Natsume's current performance, Luo Zhen could only be so suspicious.
Unfortunately, Luo Zhen's suspicions were correct.
"I...I have never been to a festival before..."
Natsume lowered her head, blushing as if she couldn't speak, and said these words.
"No way?"
Luo Zhen was really surprised.
In response, Harutora spoke up.
"Natsume, this guy, hasn't participated in festivals very much since before. Either she has been hiding at home to study, or she went to my family to learn spells. She didn't even come when I invited her."
Harutora reveals this past.
"You really have the demeanor of an top student."
Dong'er made fun of him intentionally or unintentionally.
This made the unspeakable blush on Natsume's face begin to disappear, and was replaced by resentment.
"The learning of spells is something that requires continuous persistence, especially when you are young. If you don't lay a good foundation, your future achievements will definitely be very low." Natsume retorted: "Since I have decided to become an Onmyoji , then you have to work hard, but you don’t have time to attend the festival.”
This should be just one of the reasons, right
It is true that with Natsume's personality, this kind of thing is not impossible, but in addition, Natsume's fear of strangers is also a very important reason.
Let Natsume like this come to a lively festival
That was indeed a bit difficult for her.
Not to mention...
"I remember you said before that if Qiuguan doesn't come, then you don't really want to come, right?"
Harutora exposed this point without thinking.
"Huh? So that's the reason?"
Dong'er's expression began to become interesting.
"Well... "
Luo Zhen was also speechless.
I really didn’t expect that Natsume would become a child who had never even participated in the festival due to his own reasons.
Is this considered a serious sin
Luo Zhen reflected secretly.
"No... that's not the case!" Natsume became a little panicked and said quickly: "Because... because when I think about it, Qiuguan must be working hard to learn spells when I am participating in the festival, so I must also be strict. Myself!"
This is Natsume's explanation.
Unfortunately, this explanation only received teasing looks and expressions from Chunhu and Dong'er, which made my pretty face turn red again, and I tried my best to refute.
That being said...
"You seem to have never participated in the festival, right? Qiuguan?"
Chunhu turned his finger on Luo Zhen, causing Luo Zhen's mouth to twitch.
Seeing this, Dong'er grinned as if she had caught something.
"I really didn't expect this. It turns out that the genius of our family is also a young master who has not seen much of the world."
Dong'er is so provocative.
However, Luo Zhen couldn't refute it.
no way.
Even after living for decades, Luo Zhen still never participated in the festival.
This is the tragedy of squatting at home.
"... Festivals and stuff are so boring."
Luo Zhen could only remain silent for a while, and then made a blunt counterattack.
"...It really looks like an excuse that a kid would come up with."
Dong'er was speechless.
Because Luo Zhen had previously shown his side as an onmyoji, Dong'er still regarded Luo Zhen as someone who should not be underestimated. Now the contrast suddenly became so great that Dong'er was speechless.
"It really is."
Even Natsume laughed, which made Luo Zhen feel extremely uncomfortable.
Just at this time...
"Hahaha."
Harutora laughed.
And he smiled very happily.
"why are you laughing?"
"elder brother?"
"Why are you laughing like this all of a sudden?"
Luo Zhen, Natsume and Dong'er all looked at Harutora in shock.
"it's okay no problem."
Harutora waved his hand and said so, his face still so happy.
Soon...
"Hey, don't you think we are destined to be together?"
Harutora grinned and said these words.
"Harutora."
"Natsume."
"Autumn view."
"Dong'er."
Harutora read out everyone's names one after another and smiled.
"The four of us combined, it happens to be spring, summer, autumn and winter."
Speaking of this, there was an indescribable joy and joy in Harutora's tone.
This kind of pleasure and joy made Luo Zhen, Natsume and Dong'er look at each other.
Immediately afterwards, everyone laughed one after another.
At this moment, because of Harutora, the distance between the four of them seemed to be much closer.
This made Luo Zhen smile in his heart.
(This stupid tiger is still the same as before. He is only good at establishing good relationships with people.)
Luo Zhen thought so.
"Okay." Chunhu said with a sense of satisfaction: "The fireworks will be set off in a while, let's go to the river to watch them."
Everyone immediately smiled and nodded.
Just the next second...
"sorry for disturbance."
A voice suddenly came, stopping the group of people who were about to move.
