"Hmph! I'm not holding your hand anymore. You're throwing a tantrum, and I can't appease you."
"Let me use the massage techniques I learned from Youzi to soothe you." Shiraishi Zexiu, like a treacherous minister fawning over a tyrannical ruler, went up and started kneading and pounding his back.
Soga Kirei still pouted, but her expression was one of extreme restraint, trying not to appear comfortable. Takanashi Yuuko covered her mouth and chuckled softly beside her.
.......
Before they knew it, the group had wandered around until after four o'clock, and the things Shiraishi Zexiu was carrying were gradually burying him.
“I’m going to drop off the luggage at the storage point,” Shiraishi Sawa said. “I’ll also buy some bread and water. I can eat and drink myself, and I can use the bread to feed the seagulls. You guys wait here for me.”
"it is good."
--
"Wow, Nagato's figure is amazing." On his way back, Shiraishi Sawah heard a passerby exclaim.
"She's so tall, with a great figure and a slender waist. I wish I had a girlfriend like her."
Nagato is a ship girl character in the anime/manga series "Kantai Collection". Two passersby are currently looking at a poster in front of a merchandise store and expressing their feelings.
"You're dreaming! This is my wife!" another passerby said. "Besides, this is what makes anime so special. How could someone with a body like that exist in real life?"
"There are still some, I think. I just..."
"impossible!"
In a good mood, Shiraishi Sawa felt a sense of superiority. He was proud to know them and even to have them.
Yes, yes, yes, Nagato is your wife, as long as they are my wives, that's fine.
With this thought in mind, Shiraishi Sawa walked lightly and cheerfully toward the gathering place.
"Why not! I just saw a girl like that. Look, look, that's her. Holy crap, she's absolutely stunning, even prettier than Nagato!"
A passerby cautiously and subtly pointed to a tall girl appearing in the distance, and said to his friend.
"Impossible, how could a three-dimensional being defeat a two-dimensional one... Never mind." Upon seeing the girl's true face and figure, the friend decisively bowed his head and admitted defeat.
But human joys and sorrows are not shared. The girl looked at them, or rather, at Shiraishi Sawa behind them, without any expression.
He could see Soga Kirei and Takanashi Yuuko waving at him from afar, and suddenly felt it was meaningless. He entered Chiyo and decided to go home.
Even though I knew he would probably spend his weekend like this, it still made me uncomfortable when I actually saw it.
--
The three of them entered Odaiba Seaside Park. As soon as they entered, they saw a miniature Statue of Liberty standing there. Shiraishi Sawa almost thought this was an eagle colony.
The sun was approaching the western sky, illuminating the clouds and the rippling sea with a magnificent golden hue, but it was still some time before it set.
Seagulls circled in the sky. Swimming was prohibited here. On the shore, the elderly, adults, and children played and laughed or strolled peacefully on the beach, creating a serene atmosphere.
However, Shiraishi Sawa, who was standing on the high slope, noticed a small cart in the distance, with a long queue already formed in front of it.
"What does that sell? Why are there so many people there? Do you know?" Shiraishi Zexiu asked, turning his head.
"Let's go buy some too." Following the direction pointed out by Shiraishi Sawa, Soga Kirei pulled two people towards the end of the line.
"What should we buy?" Shiraishi Sawa and Takanashi Yuko exchanged a confused glance before following along and asking once they were in the group.
“Yahashi,” Soga Kirei explained, “we were quite lucky to run into Grandpa Toyamaoka.”
"Who is it?" He knew Yatsuhashi, but he didn't recognize Toyamaka Shiraishi Sawa at all.
"The 'God of Yatsuhashi' in Japan makes the best Yatsuhashi in all of Japan. He has been making it his whole life, but he has a very strong temper. After his apprentices graduated, he started to run his business entirely according to his own preferences."
Sometimes they don't come out even once a month, and when they do, each person is limited to buying only one item after queuing, which is quite rare.
"I'm starting to get excited." Shiraishi Sawa, who has no resistance to delicious food, looked at the old man at the end of the line and rubbed his hands together eagerly.
Hopefully, this isn't just some random title of "god." After all, in Japan, any thing or industry can be called a god, and some of them don't even deserve it, so the title isn't very prestigious.
The seagulls also seemed very interested in the old man's eight bridges, often circling overhead and sometimes trying to swoop down.
However, the trolley is made entirely of glass, with openings only on the side facing the guests and behind the elderly, seemingly designed to prevent attacks.
The group moved forward slowly. Fortunately, they arrived early, and the sun showed no sign of setting. A gentle sea breeze blew, and the hair above their eyebrows trembled slightly, creating an extremely pleasant atmosphere.
"Welcome, this is a special price of 2,000 yen. The best time to eat it is within twelve hours." The old man repeated this sentence skillfully as he handed a box of Yahashi to Shiraishi Sawa.
The old man's Yatsuhashi is triangular, with a thin layer of glutinous rice flour on the outside. You can see the color of cinnamon in the middle under the rice flour skin. The plastic plate is covered with white icing.
The three of them each took their own portion and sat down on an empty bench by the sea.
The box was opened, and the aroma of glutinous rice immediately wafted out. A golden retriever, smelling the aroma, led its owner to sit down in front of the three of them, its tongue lolling out and its tail wagging happily.
"Can dogs eat this?" Yuko Takanashi was charmed and asked the golden retriever's owner, pointing to the Yatsuhashi in her hand.
"He can't eat it, he can't digest it. This child is too greedy. I've taken him to the vet several times because of his eating habits." The woman pulled on the dog's necklace with a helpless expression, but because she was not strong enough, she had some difficulty pulling it.
"Golden Retriever! Come with me! Don't bring me here and embarrass yourself!"
The golden retriever reluctantly got up, barked at its owner, but still obediently followed, though it kept looking back every few steps.
"Golden retrievers are so cute," Yuko Takanashi commented.
"Where has your love for Mimi gone?"
"Ah~ no, Mimi is cute too."
“Then I’ll raise a golden retriever,” Soga Kirei said.
"Mist Lotus, you can't even take care of yourself... Don't hit me, don't hit me, I haven't eaten yet, don't spill it on the ground."
After being hit a few times, Shiraishi Sawa used a skewer to pick up a piece of Yatsuhashi and put it in his mouth.
The thin but soft crust crumbles with a few chews, revealing a cinnamon-based filling. The cool aroma and texture spread from the mouth to the whole body, while the frosting adds just the right amount of sweetness.
The name "God of Yatsuhashi" is truly fitting; this one is much tastier than any Yatsuhashi I've had before.
If it were in a food drama, it would definitely shine with a golden glow.
So he walked to the end of the line.
"What's wrong, Zexiu?"
"It's so delicious, I want to buy another one."
Chapter 320 On the Ferris Wheel, Please Keep Going!
After buying a second serving of the nearly sold-out Yatsuhashi, there was no chance for a third serving, and Shiraishi Sawa returned to the bench.
Soga Kirei and Takanashi Yuuko unwrapped the bread and were feeding the seagulls.
The seagulls in Odaiba were not afraid of strangers at all. Several of them even strolled leisurely in the spot where Shiraishi Sawa had originally been, waiting for the girl next to them to offer them bread.
"Damn it, they're a bunch of old men, I want to eat too." Shiraishi Zexiu cursed as he came over and chased them away, then sat down in the middle.
"Then I'll feed you." As Soga Kirei spoke, Takanashi Yuuko had already held out the bread in her hand.
"So fast." Suga Wulian followed closely behind, poking two pieces of bread next to Shiraishi Zexiu's cheek.
Fortunately, Shiraishi Sawa has a big mouth, so eating two pieces in one bite is no problem at all.
"Mmm, delicious!" His mumbled words amused the two girls, who continued to feed him the bread with great enthusiasm.
"That's enough." After eating a few times, Shiraishi Zexiu leaned back against the back of the bench. "Let's feed it to those old men. I can't eat anymore."
Hold two pieces of bread in your hand, break them into small pieces, and toss them into the air. Before the bread hits the ground, it will be snatched or pecked away by seagulls.
The distant ocean is a deep, clear blue, stretching to the horizon. Although it's an artificial beach, sitting on a bench, listening to the waves crashing against the rocks, and feeling the sand being squeezed underfoot...
If you're a corporate slave, at this moment, you might forget a lot of the stress brought on by Tokyo's fast-paced life.
If you are a carefree teenager, at this moment, you will feel that the world is so beautiful.
The clouds began to take on a fantastical appearance, and as sunset approached, Shiraishi Sawa threw the remaining piece of bread forward, no longer watching the seagulls scrambling for it, and stretched out his two hands to hold them tightly.
Similarly, they gripped each other tightly, as if afraid of disappearing, and then changed to gripping each other with both hands.
As the sun sets, its silhouette is still visible among the distant buildings. It is quickly swallowed up and obscured by the skyscrapers, leaving only the gradually yellowing afterglow embracing the entire sky.
On the beach, there are adults, children, teenagers, and girls. Some stroll along the sand, some laugh and chase each other, and some sit quietly watching the sunset.
It's a pity that the time spent with the sunset was too short; even with my best efforts, I only had five minutes. The Rainbow Bridge in the distance was not yet lit up.
The two hands clasped together were sweaty, mostly their own.
"Do you hate being bald? Do you hate having a big belly? Can you stay by my side and watch me grow into an ugly old man with thinning hair and a growing belly?"
Hideyuki Shiraishi asked a famous line from one of the three major romance dramas, "Love Generation," which is also the drama that made Odaiba and Rainbow Bridge popular filming locations for Japanese dramas.
“Of course.” The two girls said earnestly, leaning slightly against Shiraishi Sawa.
The tourists on the beach were still immersed in the splendor of the recent sunset. The sky was getting dark, and the streetlights had not yet been turned on. No one noticed the equally mesmerizing view from the bench.
There's a line in "Love Generation" that goes, "True love never runs smoothly." So what if it's bumpy? As long as no one gives up, they'll eventually come together.
--
After having dinner nearby, the three of them returned to this area and headed towards the Rainbow Bridge.
If we're only talking about vibrant colors, the Rainbow Bridge can't compare to the towering skyscrapers of Tokyo in the distance, stacked like Lego bricks, with the orange-yellow glow faintly shimmering in the neon lights.
Rainbow Bridge spans the northern part of Tokyo Bay, connecting Shibaura in Minato Ward and Odaiba. It is a landmark of Odaiba.
The two bridge towers supporting the bridge are white, and only red, white and green light bulbs are placed on the cables of the suspension bridge deck. They use solar energy collected during the day as energy and decorate the rainbow bridge at night.
But because of this, in a way, the distant Tokyo cityscape is like a flamboyant dancer, dazzling and extraordinary, while the Rainbow Bridge is like a pure and innocent courtesan, possessing a unique charm.
On the Rainbow Promenade, Shiraishi Sawa and his two companions walked slowly, at a pace so slow that an old lady could probably pass them with a cane.
Because it's a popular spot for taking photos, there are many couples, so it's not common to see three people like them.
“A walk after a good meal is really nice. Are you cold? If you are, I'll give you my clothes,” Shiraishi Sawa asked.
"No." In contrast to her expressionless face, Soga Kirei seemed quite interested, looking left and right, sometimes hopping to the railing to admire the turbulent seawater.
There are 444 lights on the rainbow path, shining brightly, casting the shadows of the three people in all directions.
"Mist Lotus, be careful. You represent the lives of all three of us," Shiraishi Zexiu said with a smile as she pulled him around.
"Hmm?" The girl tilted her head in confusion, her eyes revealing bewilderment.
"Because if you fall, I'll lose my mind and jump too, and Yuuko will definitely jump as well. That's three lives, isn't it?"
