Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

"One day, a thick fog rose from the sea. From the other side of the fog came beautiful music. The goddess Benzaiten descended on Enoshima on a colorful cloud."

"The five-headed dragon fell in love with the goddess at first sight, but the goddess angrily rebuked his evil deeds. The evil dragon was infatuated with the goddess, so he changed his ways, and in the dry season, he brought rain to nourish the crops, and in the autumn, he used his body to block typhoons and tsunamis."

"In the end, the goddess and the five-headed dragon became a couple, and the goddess Benzaiten is enshrined at Enoshima Shrine. The annual opening ceremony is to allow the couple to relive their old dream."

Therefore, the five-headed dragon played by Hachiman will parade from here to Enoshima Shrine, and pray with the goddess Benzaiten played by Utaha for a good fishing season in the new year and good weather. The closer to the coastal area, the stronger the belief in the sea god.

Hachiman sighed in his heart, what a sacred ritual, it made him feel even more guilty.

Finally, the clock struck ten and the parade officially began.

Hachiman put on the mask of the evil dragon, stood on the sedan chair, was surrounded by countless people, had countless tourists taking pictures, and walked towards the direction of the "bride".

The shouts around us, the sound of taiko drums along the street, and the cheers of the crowd made everything more lively.

.................

"What on earth does that damned little girl want to do?"

Xiangzi said angrily. At this time, she was in a room in Enoshima Shrine, but her hands and feet were tied up with ropes.

This story started in the morning when she was about to leave Kamakura. Shiyu said that before she left, at least help her change her clothes. Xiangzi didn't think much about it, and was indeed reluctant to leave like this, so she followed Shiyu to Enoshima Shrine, where he prepared to help her change into a haori and a beautiful phoenix crown and bridal veil, and after that he tied her hands and feet.

Damn it, is this some kind of carnival in a mountain village?!

Xiangzi angrily yelled at the only girl who was still here: "Hurry up and untie me. Be careful not to tell the kidnappers."

Setsuko Amuro felt a little headache, but still said, "If you want to sue, go sue your daughter. I never touched you at all, and it was she who ordered that you not be untied before the time came."

Setsuko thought with a bit of a smile and tears that after her father and brother agreed to the boy's conditions, she would also have to do something extra on her side.

For example, like now, guarding a beautiful woman with her hands and feet tied.

Watching her struggling, I felt so guilty.

What kind of friends do I have?

................

“Hehehe, hehehe, hehehe….”

The people from Moriyama Commercial Street who were carrying the mikoshi took the ferry back to the seaside shopping street. The feeling of riding the ferry while standing on the mikoshi was indeed different. He was afraid that someone's hand would shake, causing the mikoshi to tilt and he would sink directly into the sea.

But this group of people still shouted vigorously.

"Danna, we are almost at Enoshima Shrine. You will need to get off the mikoshima and climb the stairs to greet the goddess Benzaiten yourself."

Boss Moriyama said breathlessly, while Hachiman continued to perform various actions for travelers to take photos and check in.

Boss Moriyama said happily, "But then again, we've been around the seaside shopping street for almost two rounds, and nobody came to cause trouble. It's really strange. We gave those guys a good beating last year."

Although they didn't dare to directly disrupt the sacrifice, they could still do some bad things to bring bad luck to one or two sedan bearers.

But this year, they had made all the preparations. But no one from Linhai came to make trouble. It was really a waste of preparations, which made the boss feel a little lonely like a hero.

"Maybe they feel that such a small fight is not nice enough." Hachiman said.

"Haha, how could that be? Do they dare to disrupt the divine sacrifice?"

They don't have the courage to destroy the sacrifice to the gods, but they do have the courage to exercise free interpretation in the name of the sacrifice to the gods, and their courage is very strong.

Just before the parade turned and arrived at Enoshima Shrine, for some reason, there was a sudden commotion among the pedestrians, and the sound was a bit strange, as if they were welcoming something.

Boss Moriyama narrowed his eyes and stopped the sedan chair.

Slowly, from around the corner, a parade team dressed in similar attire to theirs came out.

The same configuration, the same five-headed evil dragon pattern, the same sedan chair and the five-headed dragon actors on it, the two sides seemed to be printed with the same imprint, except that the parade team on that side, from the costumes to the sedan chair, were all green.

It is hard to say that there is no malice in this. Whose bad taste is it?

Boss Moriyama, who represented the orthodox red, was immediately annoyed and shouted at the leader, Old Amuro: "You guys from Linhai, you're willing to gamble and refuse to admit defeat, right? What do you want to do?"

At that time, we were going to do Xinhe Liansheng... Sorry, I went to the wrong set.

"Moriyama, calm down. We just checked the ancient books. One of the five-headed dragon's heads was chopped off and disappeared. We are just trying to make up the last green head of the five-headed dragon."

What? I'm the one cheating on myself.

Even though he was the one who painted it, he still wanted to laugh when he really lifted it up.

Then Moriyama saw that the person standing on the green sedan chair was actually Shiyu.

She was supposed to be the goddess Benzaiten waiting on the mountain.

Sure enough, there was a traitor among us, otherwise, with the honest and straightforward personalities of the Amuro father and son, it would be impossible for them to come up with such a sinister idea.

Moriyama turned his head and looked at Hachiman who was pointing in the direction of Shiwa and yelling, "Hikigaya-kun, what's going on?"

Hachiman cleared his throat and said with a serious face: "Is this the time to discuss this? They are going up the mountain. If this green-headed man takes the goddess away, you will..."

We know it without you telling us! ?

Boss Moriyama shouted, "Brothers, follow me. We must not let those Linhai guys take the goddess away."

Thus, a big melee slowly began.

Author's words: Thanks to Panci and Blade from "Grape's Rage", all the rewarded chapters will be completed this month.

Chapter 117: Despicable Stranger

As the saying goes, when two brave men meet in a narrow road, the brave one wins. The two shopping streets already had their teeth imprinted there. Now the Linhai guy has gone back on his word and wants to set up a new Heliansheng after losing. This behavior has completely touched the bottom line of both sides.

Mr. Moriyama said angrily, "Mr. Hikigaya, why is Miss Shiyu standing on the mikoshi on the seaside?"

Generally speaking, although those guys in Linhai Shopping Street are unpleasant to the eye, they are not smart enough to do such a trick. Combined with the fact that Shiyu is standing over there, it is almost clear who is betraying.

You vile outsiders.

"Well, don't be so angry. Look around, aren't the tourists excited?" Hachiman said, pointing at the tourists nearby.

In line with the universal human rule of watching the fun, no matter how big the event, the travelers who originally had only a general interest in the festival became aroused with the desire to watch the fight when they saw the two sides arguing.

In fact, it is essentially the same as the two shopping streets using basketball games to attract tourists, except that Yawata's effort is more grand.

"Since it's a grand ceremony, you have to perform well. It's a great opportunity for publicity." Hachiman advised earnestly.

Boss Moriyama looked at the passengers who were making a fuss and felt that he was in a difficult situation.

"Send me to the mountain first, and I will help you snatch the goddess. Can't we talk about other things later?" Hachiman said.

Boss Moriyama had no other choice but to protect the shrine and collide with the green shrine bridge opposite. He had to protect the people on the shrine bridge and knock the people off the opposite shrine bridge.

Oh, it suddenly became a shoulder horse riding event in the middle school sports meet.

Shiyu-chan on the other side seemed to be having a blast, too. She directed the Amuro father and son and shouted, "Hit hard and knock down that Sea King... no, Dragon King, and I'll write a book "Enoshima Love Story" for you to promote it."

After saying this, he raised his chin towards Hachiman, and the people on Linhai Street also responded very enthusiastically.

Hachiman was also happy. Well, it’s just about playing. The most important thing is to have fun.

He also shouted, and the two sides' troops began to meet each other. Just outside the stone staircase torii of the shrine, the dogs' heads were almost beaten out.

Gradually, the sacred bridges on both sides crossed the torii. It should be said that in the crowd, the sacred bridges on both sides fell towards the torii.

Hachiman, who barely landed on the ground, looked towards Shiyu. Shiyu was in a more miserable state, having fallen on the stone steps with blood on her hands.

Hachiman asked, "Hey, are you okay?"

Shiyu looked at her bruised hands, blood slowly seeping out, and gritted her teeth. Although she also felt that all this was stupid, she wanted to persevere this time.

"Let's go." Shiyu shouted.

Far away on the stone steps, there was a woman who did not believe that anyone would love her, and she was waiting.

.........................

Seeing that the time was almost up, Setsuko Amuro began to untie the ropes on the beautiful woman's hands and feet.

But Xiangzi said indignantly, "It's no use trying to untie it now. I will definitely call the police and have that unfilial girl arrested and put in the police station for a few days."

Setsuko said, not caring whether it was true or not.

"I was shocked when I heard what they were going to do last night. They ruined our traditional sea festival on Enoshima, just to snatch a bride for you."

Xiangzi was stunned for a moment and said, "Robbery of the bride?"

"Yes, Shiyu and that boy have formed another team of gods to grab a bride. As for who the bride is, look at the clothes you are wearing. It's so big. The goddess Benzaiten is sitting here. The Dragon King and the goddess are reuniting today."

"But, but, why are they trying to steal the bride?" Xiangzi really couldn't understand.

Setsuko said, "The following explanation is what I heard from the boy last night. Only those who are needed and loved will be fought over, just like a goddess has many suitors."

That is why, when the Dragon King was trying to snatch the bride, it was precisely because she was being fought over that she could feel the importance and love involved.

Xiangzi pursed her lips, something in her heart seemed to overflow, but she still said: "Really, what a stupid thing."

She had thought that Hachiman's choice would be smarter.

But Setsuko said, "Don't you like someone just to see how many stupid things he does for you?"

Setsuko raised her right hand, with a rough ring on the finger of her right hand, and said with a smile, "My idiot stole my deceased mother's ring after winning the game to confess his love to me. He gave his father a good beating and said he wanted to go to Tokyo with me. He's such an idiot. He earns more than many young people in Tokyo by running a hotel in Kamakura."

"Maybe he will regret it in the future, and maybe feel stupid then, but the way he is now is the way I like him the most." As she said this, Setsuko untied all the ropes on Kaori.

"Please wait at the stone steps. Don't let them get nothing after all their efforts." Setsuko said softly.

Xiangzi may have been tied up for too long, so it took her a while to stand up. She was silent for a moment before she said, "I know it without you telling me."

As she walked out of the room, she heard a commotion at the entrance.

When she reached the stairs, she saw two guys wearing haori and Dragon King masks running towards them, followed by a parade group that was holding each other back.

Xiangzi remembered when Shiyu was just born. When she held her in her arms, she did not have the love that most mothers have for their children, because the birth of this child was not her wish, but the requirement of the family.

But this child's eyes are so big, can someone like me really raise her well?

If it were an ordinary woman, this evidence of postpartum depression might have passed quickly, but she was still worried.

This question lingered in her mind until one day, she escaped and sent the child abroad.

Because she was worried that her daughter would find out that her mother was a careless person.

Then many years passed, and she continued to live her life carelessly, as if it was a life under the green lamp and ancient Buddha, but she did not feel sad.

Until the boy appeared, she took a step forward inadvertently, but the question like a demon in her heart lingered in her mind again.

Is there really anyone who loves you?

So she began to retreat again.

"We got you." Now, someone grabbed her hand and said, and there were two of them.

"I won." Shiyu shouted.

Then the people from Linhai below kept shouting "Long live!"

As a result, Hachiman refused to accept the result and said, "I grabbed her hand first, so I should win!"

Then the people on Moriyama's side below also started shouting "Long live!"

Soon, the two sides started fighting again.

Xiangzi was held tightly by the hands of the two men, and thought to herself that maybe she had the courage to believe it for once.

Even someone like her is loved.

Chapter 118: Hikigaya Utaha's Development Plan

On the second day of the grand Kaikai Festival, although it was not as lively as yesterday, there were still many tourists. Moreover, the behavior of the two parades in front of the shrine yesterday to please the gods with songs of praise of blood and flesh was talked about with relish by countless spectators.

But apparently some people didn't think so. After causing such a big trouble yesterday, Hachiman and his two companions sneaked back to the hotel to get their things while Moriyama and Rinkai's groups hadn't noticed them yet. However, there was no train back to Tokyo that day, so with the help of Setsuko Amuro, they spent another night in Enoshima.

I didn’t dare go out at all, I was really afraid of being beaten up.

Traveling to this point is really laughable.

But it was not without gain. At least my relationship with Xiangzi became closer, of course, spiritually.

It's a pity that such a big girl is standing there, which is quite embarrassing.

The next day, before leaving Kamakura to return to Tokyo, at Shiwa's suggestion, they took a good tour of the island, including Kamakura High School and the Enoden train.

"This fried noodles tastes great. Mom, do you want to try it?" Shiyu called out "Mom" as if it was very natural.

God bless her, she used to refer to him as "that woman" or "hey".

"Really? I'll try." The beautiful woman smiled faintly, like a mother, with doting in her eyes.
