The huge mantis that are ready to move on the top of the mountain bike, and the mantis lottery machine that spits out small balls after turning, are unique features of Mantis Mountain.

In addition, around Mantis Mountain, the people at the Town Preservation Association are also vigorously promoting various souvenirs related to Honcho Mountain Bike, just like other places.

For example, the T-shirt they were wearing was white, and the word "manti" was written on the front and back;

There are also manual accounts or postcards printed with various postures of mantis.

In the most conspicuous place, there are two mantis models priced at tens of thousands of yen.

The lanterns between red and white are reflected above, and the mantis model, which is thoughtful and full of gold foil, is shining, and the details are many ingenious, making it difficult to look away when you look at it.

“…”

After staring at him for a while, Tamako turned her head and found that her sister and brother were standing on the other side, looking at the hand-painted Wind Mantis album on the stall.

They stood very close to each other, but they were still a little short of a distance.

"The painting is so cute." Soya turned back another page, "It's also very vivid."

Kyoko nodded, looked at the album, and then looked at him who was close to him.

“These are all designed by children in the town…”

Before she finished speaking, she was suddenly pushed forward and rushed straight into his arms.

"ah……"

Raising his hand to hold Kyoko, Soya looked down at the child lying behind her waist.

"Takiko."

"Sister, I'm a little tired..."

She hugged her sister and buried her face on her waist, not looking at them.

The two looked at each other, "Sorry..."

"fine."

Holding Soya's chest, Kyoko stood up straight again and touched her sister's head with her backhand.

"Don't hold it up suddenly, what if you hit someone else."

“Um…”

Yuzi just rubbed her waist.

Maybe he was tired of playing, Soragu thought.

If we count from the moment we stepped on Sizhaotong, they have been wandering in the streets and alleys of Sizhaowuwara for more than two hours.

Although he didn't feel tired yet.

"Then go back." Zonggu said.

Although I haven't finished visiting the thirty-three mountain squids, few people come to visit all the mountain squids at the Xiaoshan Festival - even if I keep going, I have to spend a lot of time, not to mention that the road is full.

people.

"It's not too early."

A trace of regret flew in my heart. Kyoko was still feeling a little unfulfilled, but she nodded quickly.

"good."

She pulled her sister, and Zong Gu also reached over and grabbed Yuzi's other hand.

Then, he turned around and pushed away the crowd, walked along the West Caveyard, and walked towards the four more lighted channels.

As they walked away, the figures of the three were quickly drowned in the crowd.

Someone stood up on the Mantis Mountain Car.

The girl in the yukata who was looking for a sign for him during the lottery draw for Zong Gu. She stood on the high ground and looked at her for a while, then took off her mantis mask and handed it to another little girl in the roller coaster.

"I'll go somewhere else to see it."

"Okay, please walk slowly...hello, those stupid guys, get up and make a clear way for Lord Ling!"

......

The night was getting darker and the road was still crowded with people. The eve festival of the mountain parade continued until eleven o'clock in the night.

It took more than half an hour to walk from the West Entrance to the Sijietong, and then follow the Sijietong toward the Gion.

It was originally a pretended to be tired, but she was really tired at this time - she was still taking the exam during the day.

Although my sister stared at her, her brother still carried her on her back after acting coquettishly.

"You'll get off when you arrive at the station." Kyoko held her back from behind, "Songya is also very tired after walking around for so long."

"I understand..."

Walking to Shijo Bridge, the wine houses and restaurants on both sides of Yasukawa are still lively. The river bank is not deserted, with people coming and going, and a pair of bands sing on their own in the dim lights.

Standing at the bridge and looking for a while, Soya looked back at Kyoko, "Do you want to take a walk by the river?"

“…”

Looking at his sister who was lying on his back, Kyoko sighed silently and shook her head again.

"Come again next time."

"All right."

Walking from Obaki to the other side, Kyoko speeds up slightly and goes side by side with Soya.

“…”

Before he could speak, the Yuzi on his back suddenly turned his head.

Her eyes were open, and she didn't know why she suddenly became energetic again.

"Sister and brother come together tomorrow and come to visit the mountain warriors!"

Kyoko was stunned, then shook her head, and looked at Soya who was looking over.

"Brother will accompany another sister tomorrow."

“…”

Zong Gu was silent and looked forward again.

“Hey—”

Tamako hugged his neck tightly and leaned forward, "Who is the other sister?"

"A person Tatsuko doesn't know."

The yukata was already a little loose, Kyoko stroked her sister's back and told her not to ask more questions.

"I can bring Tamako with me tomorrow." Soya said, "So too."

She smiled briefly, and finally shook her head.

"My father and mother will bring Yuzi to watch the mountain parade tomorrow, so I don't have to worry about the classmate."

"Where is Kyoko."

"I didn't have much interest in this every year."

Kyoko walked up and grabbed his arm, "This is true."

Zong Gu nodded, without saying much, then turned his arm to her.

“…”

She pursed her lips and smiled, holding her arm, fitting closer to him.

"Student Zong Gu."

"Um."

"Thank you for accompanying me and Yuzi today."

“No need to be polite…”

After crossing the Four Bridges, there was the entrance to the Sijo Station in Gion in front of me. Tatsuko hugged Soya's shoulder tightly and said she would wait until she entered the station before she got down.

Walking into the passage, the lively night festival was stopped on the ground, and the surroundings suddenly became much quieter.

He held the girl behind him up.

"I'm very happy to date Kyoko."

"……Um."

Walking into the station, Sonoya put down Yuzi. After passing through the gate, there was a tram going back in the platform.

It was not too early, and there were many people going back, and the three of them who came late could only stand in the carriage for the time being.

And Tamako was in a short while, and then she began to stagger again.

At first, Yu Soya and Kyoko pulled her together, but couldn't stand behind her and turned around to Kyoko's lap.
