Chapter 128 Cultural Festival (1)
Although he came earlier than usual today, when Watanabe Toru walked into the classroom, he found that he was one of the last few to arrive.
"Watanabe, you're lazy!" Kunihime raised his hands and said in a high-pitched voice, "Today is the first day of the Cultural Festival. It's a Cultural Festival. You can't be so lazy!"
Saito Keisuke held up the Cultural Festival Event Guide, stroked his chin and said, "Should we go to the maid cafe first, or go to the Fashion Research Department to watch the model show?"
"I don't want to think about anything right now. I just want to sleep." Toru Watanabe lay on the table with his schoolbag in his arms, responding weakly to the two overly excited people.
"No, no, no!" Kunijima shook his head exaggeratedly, "Tell me the truth, what did you do last night?"
"This is a secret that cannot be told." Watanabe Toru replied in a tired voice.
Kunii Osamu squatted down beside Watanabe Toru's desk and asked furtively, "Watanabe, do girls yawn cutely after waking up?
"Ah? Where did you hear that?"
"What's that like?"
"I'm usually not in a very good mood, which has nothing to do with cuteness. Don't talk to me for now, let me sleep for a while, and call me during the opening ceremony." Watanabe Toru changed the direction of his face and continued to sleep.
Kunii Osamu slowly stood up and looked at Saito Keisuke. They both took a deep breath and communicated with their eyes:
"That's it, right?"
"It must be that!"
Watanabe Toru, who had already fallen asleep, was unilaterally OOed.
Watanabe Toru slept until the opening ceremony at eight o'clock, and finally he managed to cheer himself up and followed the crowd to the gymnasium.
In previous years, the opening ceremony was given by the president of the student union, but this year's cultural festival did not see any student union members at all. The person standing at the top and giving orders was the chairman of the executive committee.
The chairman spoke eloquently under the gaze of thousands of spectators.
wrong.
The extent of his remarks was too light. If one was familiar with the chairman, one could clearly see that he did not take the thousands of students seriously at all.
Kujo Mihime, as her name suggests, is a very beautiful princess.
She likes to wear black stockings and light-colored underwear. Her breasts and legs are irresistible. When she is asleep, her face becomes twice as cute. When she kisses, she is always strong and will...
——The above comes from Kujo’s boyfriend Toru Watanabe.
Toru Watanabe stood in the position where a secretary should stand, looking at Kujo Miki in the center of the stage, thinking about random things to pass the time.
The sudden thunderous applause from below pulled him back from his inner monologue.
Miki Kujo turned and walked off the stage, handed him the microphone, and the two of them walked behind the curtain together.
Behind the stage, Kujo's mother was reading a "Cultural Festival Event Guide".
Her face is getting younger and younger. If it weren't for her noble hairstyle and elegant kimono, she would look like the same age as Koizumi Aona.
"Mother, shall we go and see it now?" asked Kujo Miki.
Mother Kujo thought for a moment and said, "No, I want to go around first. The last time I attended a cultural festival was more than ten years ago."
"Then Watanabe and I will accompany you."
"I have something else to do." Watanabe Toru interrupted.
"What's the matter?" Miki Kujo turned her head and looked at him with her beautiful eyes.
"Distribute flyers to promote 'Iwate to Tokyo'."
"It's better not to do such boring things, just follow me..."
"Let Watanabe go." Kujo's mother interrupted her daughter, "Stay with me for a while. When Watanabe is done, you two can have fun together."
"What's so fun about a high school students' cultural festival?" Miki Kujo twisted her lips and said disdainfully.
"You are a high school student. How do you know if it is fun if you don't play? I will call you after I finish distributing flyers." After saying that, Toru Watanabe walked towards the exit.
When he got to the door, he suddenly remembered something and turned around and said, "Oh, by the way, the wind band will be performing at 10 o'clock, remember to come and see me."
Miki Kujo crossed her arms and said nothing, but Kujo's mother smiled at him kindly and nodded.
The movie flyers were printed by Rin Kiyono, and the two agreed to meet at the Human Observation Department.
On the way to the activity room, some people were handing out flyers, some were holding up billboards, and some were wearing doll costumes. Everyone was trying to attract customers in their own way.
After crossing thousands of mountains and rivers and wading through crowded crowds, Watanabe Toru finally arrived at the activity room.
Before he could sit down and catch his breath.
"School gate, inside the campus, you choose one." Qingye Rin gave him half of the thick flyers in her hand.
"My reputation can only be found at the school gate."
Qingye Rin laughed happily and taunted, "I almost forgot that you are a scum who beats girls."
"Since even you say that to me, I might as well commit suicide by lying on the tracks at Yotsuya Station."
"Before that, remember to distribute all the flyers."
"Are you looking down on me? I'm a professional at handing out flyers." Watanabe Toru looked like he was reminiscing about the past. "Before I went to Ochanomizu, I was known as the 'Little Prince of Shinjuku 2-chome' for my part-time job handing out flyers."
Qingye Rin stuffed the flyer into his arms, picked up her own copy and walked out of the classroom: "You just have a pretty face."
"You're wrong." Watanabe Toru followed with the flyer in hand. "The face only accounts for 100%. The remaining 900% depends on confidence."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Ramen comes to fight ZEROONE!"
The chat ends here, one-sided.
Whether it was his good looks or his mysterious self-confidence, it took Toru Watanabe less than fifteen minutes to distribute the thick stack of flyers.
This is because there are too few visitors coming to Kamikawa to participate in the cultural festival.
If you're in Shinjuku 2-chome, it won't take even five minutes to get these flyers.
It can be said without hesitation that Toru Watanabe is indeed the little prince of handing out leaflets, a man who can survive simply by handing out leaflets.
Before meeting up with Kunii Osamu and the others, he went to the playground, which had been turned into a shopping street, to report to Kiyono Rin, in case she came to help after distributing flyers and didn't find him and misunderstood that he had slipped away early.
In the middle of the playground stood a large stuffed bear holding a semicircular banner with the words "Kamikawa Cultural Festival" on it, which was the work of the handicraft department.
Kiyono Rin was standing right below the idol player.
Toru Watanabe looked at the few flyers left in her hand. If he had come a little slower, they might have met on the road.
"Are you done?" asked Qingye Rin.
Watanabe Toru didn't respond to her.
"As expected of you." He nodded in appreciation. "I recognize your speed in distributing flyers. Among all the girls I've fought with, no one can match you in distributing flyers. I am willing to call you the best!"
Qingye Rin also ignored his topic.
"What are you going to do next?" she asked.
"I plan to go back to class and call my comrades, then sneak over to the dance club to look at girls' legs."
"There's no need to go into such detail about this kind of thing."
"Wait, Kiyono-san, if you don't tell a 'lie', someone will actually think I'm going to do something like this, and that's not good."
"who?"
Watanabe Toru looked around and saw that many people were indeed paying attention to them, but he still pointed at the silly stuffed bear and said, "It."
Kiyono Rin turned to a couple passing by and said, "'Iwate Prefecture to Tokyo, 400 km' is a movie about secret love. Please be sure to go to the audio-visual classroom to watch it."
The couple took the flyer and looked at the handsome man and beautiful woman on the poster - Miki Kujo and Toru Watanabe, with interest.
Watanabe Toru: "...Kyono-san?"
"The movie '400 km from Iwate Prefecture to Tokyo' produced by the Human Observation Department is now showing in the audio-visual classroom..." Kiyono Rin handed a flyer to another group of people.
Watanabe Toru: “That…”
"From Iwate Prefecture to Tokyo, 400 kilometers, go watch it."
Toru Watanabe took the last flyer that Qingno Rin handed to him.
"The first time Seino-san handed out flyers in a strong manner, I accepted it."
Kiyono Rin rubbed his brows with a headache and sighed, "All the people in Iwate Prefecture are like this."
"…That's about right." Toru Watanabe apologized .
"Let's go."
"Hmm? Where to?"
"Let's go to the audio-visual classroom and see everyone's reactions." Qing Ye Lin looked at his watch, "There's a show in five minutes."
"Wait, I've already made an appointment with Senior Tamako in the dance club." In fact, when they were mediating a dispute, others just asked him to go and watch.
"Are you really going to go?"
"No."
Qingye Rin gave him a fierce look, it was a lie.
The reason why Kiyono Rin didn't see through Watanabe Toru before was that he didn't go to the classroom and then go to the dance club immediately. Instead, he went to other places in the middle and then went to the dance club to look at the legs, no, to look at the dance club.
"Then I won't go to the stick dance club. I'll go to the women's basketball club and watch their fancy shooting performances."
"Wearing summer sweatpants?"
"Is the Break Dance Club okay?"
"Watanabe-san, how well have you investigated the clubs that expose their legs?"
"A parade of flag bands!"
"You can go if you want."
"No, I'm not going."
"Really?"
At first, Toru Watanabe did think about whether or not to visit these clubs, but now it doesn't matter if he doesn't.
On the way to the audio-visual classroom, Toru Watanabe sent a line to Miki Kujo.
He told her about how he had just finished distributing flyers at the school gate and was going to the movies with Kiyono Rin.
"knew"
When we arrived at the audio-visual classroom, the Kujo mother and daughter were already waiting at the door.
When Kiyono Rin greeted Kujo's mother, Watanabe Toru walked to Kujo Miki's side and whispered in her ear with a smile: "You pretend not to care, but you actually care a lot in your heart."
Miki Kujo narrowed her eyes slightly and gave him a meaningful look.
If she hadn't been afraid of scaring Watanabe Toru, when she received the message from Line, she would have had someone break his legs and drag him to her side.
"Don't worry, no matter what, Kiyono and I only have friendship." Watanabe Toru assured.
"Friendship?" Kujo Miki snorted in anger.
Unable to control her emotions, she placed her hands on his sides and twisted them hard.
"hiss--"
Watanabe Toru, feeling the pain, quickly put his hand on the waist of Kujo Miki's school skirt and hugged her over, making the two of them very close to each other, making it inconvenient for her to exert force.
Miki Kujo had no choice but to withdraw her hand. She was just about to remember this matter when she noticed a smug smile on Watanabe Toru's lips.
She pulled Watanabe Toru's school uniform tie and whispered in his ear, "Come to my place tonight."
Watanabe Toru's smile froze.
"You two sweet girls should also pay attention to the occasion."
The two looked over and saw Kujo's mother looking at them jokingly. On the other side, Kiyono Rin glanced at them hugging each other.
"Hurry up and go in, it's about to start." Toru Watanabe quickly let go of Miki Kujo and adjusted the position of her tie.
The four of them entered the audio-visual classroom, where quite a few people were sitting.
This is consistent with the current social phenomenon in movie theaters. Most of the people are girls, and some even plan to continue watching after watching one.
"No matter how you look at it, Watanabe-kun is so handsome!"
"I wish I had a childhood sweetheart like this!"
"Didn't I hear that he beats girls?"
"Who asked the president of the society to bully his girlfriend? I think he deserves it."
"That's right, a boyfriend who doesn't help his girlfriend when she's being bullied has no need to exist!"
The four of them sat in the corner. Miki Kujo crossed her legs and hugged her arms, listening to these girls talking about her boyfriend, but she didn't get angry.
As long as Toru Watanabe doesn't actually have any contact with the girl, the more she loves him, the more satisfied she will be.
After listening for a while, Kujo's mother smiled and said, "The audience came here for Watanabe."
"Not entirely, I'm here just for Miki." Watanabe Toru replied.
Kujo's mother laughed like a girl, and Kujo Miki also smiled with satisfaction.
Qingye Rin turned her face away, resisting the urge to tell the truth.
The lights in the audio-visual classroom suddenly went out, and everyone fell silent.
[A Shinkansen train coming from Iwate Prefecture is slowly entering the station and stopping on the platform.
"Watanabe!" A voice suddenly sounded after the slow motion.
The camera pulls away and shows a man in his forties shouting into the distance. The boy who was staring at the Shinkansen turns around.
"Here I come." The handsome and fine-looking young man, wearing a well-fitting tram assistant uniform, looks heroic.
He casually pushes his hair back with one hand and puts on his hat.
"Ah~~~" Bursts of suppressed screams came from the audio-visual classroom.
“Like a soldier!”
“So cool!”
“My heart is pounding!”
[The young man quickly followed the middle-aged man and helped push the passengers into the crowded tram.
After work, in the locker room, the middle-aged man asked the boy who was changing clothes.
"Watanabe, we got paid today, do you want to go get something to eat together?"
"No, I plan to use it to buy a camera."
"You have a hobby of photography? That's great. When I was young, I also wanted to be a professional railway photographer, but in the end..."
The sound gradually became fainter.
When the next shot appeared, it was a black and white photo of a young boy. 】
Most of the 30-minute film takes place in a Japanese-style room.
One year after Toru Watanabe passed away, on his death anniversary, Watanabe's mother told Toru's girlfriend who came to mourn about Watanabe's childhood.
A childhood sweetheart who looks exactly like my girlfriend slowly appears.
Everyone finally understood why the boy kept looking at photos even though his girlfriend was right next to him, and when he practiced the oboe, he always looked towards Iwate Prefecture with his clear eyes.
The end of the movie is the last scene of the boy’s life.
[On a path in the outer gardens of Meiji Jingu Shrine.
The young man slowly put down the photo of his girlfriend and raised his face. When the sunlight shone on that handsome and youthful face, every frame flashing in the camera was breathtaking.
The facial features are delicate, and the eyes are somewhat melancholy and gentle, which makes people stunned. 】
The emerald green leaves dancing in the breeze, the boy's fluttering eyelashes, his slightly pursed sexy lips, and his haggard yet gentle profile under the bright sunshine, made everyone in front of the screen stunned and dazed.
