Chapter 484 The aftermath of the ending(1/2)
Kamisato Ayaka was silent for a while.
She knew that everything Bai Qiyun said was right. The arduous reforms since ancient times had far less success rates than revolutions initiated by the people at the bottom. This was the reason.
If there is an external force to supervise, the reform may still be carried out, such as Liyue under the watchful eye of the God of Rock, but the current rice wife and general Raiden will not take action on this kind of thing, which has led to a chaotic situation.
Birth.
But even so, she still wants to do something, especially if she has the experience of those countries where she is the best.
There was a hint of determination in Kamisato Ayaka's jewel-like pupils, and she was not wavered in the slightest by Bai Qiyun's words.
But she also knew that now was not the time to say such things.
"Ha, Miss Clara, that's a bit far. Why don't we just enjoy the festival first?"
"really."
No matter what I say here, Dao's wife won't change even a dime, so she might as well enjoy the present moment.
Bai Qiyun followed Kamisato Ayaka and walked towards the stalls on the side. There were various food stalls with many dishes that Bai Qiyun had never seen before.
It had been some time since dinner, and his stomach was roaring in his body.
Seeing Clara stop beside him, Kamisato Ayaka also stopped, a little curious.
After the two landed on the island, they never paid much attention to snacks because of their masks.
"Boss, let's have two portions of the bird's egg roast."
Kamisato Ayaka has not forgotten that she is a male now, so how can she let a lady take the initiative to pay the bill?
"Okay, wait a minute, you two."
The stall owner's hands and feet were very quick, and he presented two yellow egg rolls in front of the two of them in just three strokes.
There was no need for Kamisato Ayaka to cover her face, so she directly took off her mask and stuffed one of the toriyaki into her mouth.
She looked at Clara who was reluctant to take action, and understood the other party's difficulty, so she wanted to take the snack to a deserted place and eat it again.
But who knew that Bai Qiyun waved his hand, indicating that she did not need to do this.
I saw my white fingertips drawing a line along the bottom of the mask, and the weak water elemental power was like a steel knife, instantly cutting the mask open, revealing the lower half of Miss 'Clara''s face.
Bai Qiyun picked up the bird's egg in front of him, pinched it gently with his white fingers, and opened his red lips slightly.
As soon as the yellow egg skin enters the mouth, a hint of sweetness and aroma spreads in the mouth, like an endless stretch of fine sand, silky and delicate.
"how do you feel?"
"Not bad."
After two or three mouthfuls, a small piece of roasted bird egg went into my stomach.
It felt a bit like a mixture of some snacks in Liyue, but Bai Qiyun couldn't figure out which ones it was.
But snacks are just snacks, they don’t have any too surprising flavors, so they’re pretty good to pass the time.
The two of them continued along the road and saw a huge sacred cherry tree at the end of the hillside, which was bigger than any tree Bai Qiyun had seen in Inazuma Castle.
I'm afraid it's only smaller than the one planted in Narukami Taisha Shrine.
Under the cherry blossom tree, a well-dressed woman stood there, looking at everything on Ganjin Island with a kind smile on her face.
Bai Qiyun didn't recognize her, but Kamisato Ayaka did.
This person is the agent of the Society on Ganjin Island, named Gaomei, and is responsible for the site planning and festival preparations on Ganjin Island.
I didn't expect that the other party was standing guard here late at night. He was really competent.
After secretly remembering this person, Kamisato Ayaka and Bai Qiyun walked to a small stall on the side. The noticeboard-like shelves on the side were filled with small wooden signs named "Ema".
"Boss, two ema."
"Okay, please."
When the owner of the Ema stall named Yoshikawa saw a customer coming, his eyes lit up, and he immediately pulled out two Ema stalls from behind and handed them to Kamisato Ayaka.
"This is..."
Taking the Ema from Kamisato Ayaka, Bai Qiyun took it in his hand and looked at it, and found that it was just an ordinary wooden sign, nothing unusual.
"Miss Clara may not know much about the customs of our rice wives. This thing is called an ema. During festivals, we rice wives will draw our thoughts on it, and then hang it on the shelf.
It represents people’s prayers.”
"Oh, it's just like a wishing sign."
Hearing this, Bai Qiyun felt a sudden change in his heart.
During the Chinese Valentine's Day every year in Liyue, some people hang bamboo sticks or slips of paper filled with wishes on special willow branches to pray.
I think it should be something similar.
But compared to the wishing sign that only requires writing, the difficulty level of the ema that requires drawing is obviously much higher.
Bai Qiyun held the small thing in front of him, but he still didn't know how to put down the pen in his hand.
There is no way, he can't draw.
But Kamisato Ayaka on the side was full of flowers, and in a few hasty strokes, she sketched out a lovely portrait.
Kamisato Ayaka's painting skills are not to mention amazing, but they can also be said to be exquisite.
After all, as a young lady, training in music, chess, calligraphy and painting is essential.
"These are... two people?"
Seeing that the painting of 'Brother Ayato' on the side had been completed, Bai Qiyun felt a little curious and quickly moved closer to him.
I saw that the Ema, which was less than the size of a palm, was filled with two little people with smiles on their faces. Judging from the hairstyle and decoration, they should be a boy and a girl.
"Well, it's me and my sister."
"Hey~ you still have a sister."
Bai Qiyun unexpectedly glanced at the somewhat gloomy (in his own opinion) man next to him, and did not see at all that the man had the potential to be an older brother.
As if he noticed something wrong with his appearance, Kamisato Ayaka gave a bitter smile, but did not explain too much.
However, after seeing his companion's painted horse, Bai Qiyun's originally hesitant hand began to move back and forth on the painted horse.
But it only left traces like a square man, which made the corners of his eyes twitch uncontrollably.
It seems that he has no talent for painting.
"call..."
Seeing his Ema, even Kamisato Ayaka almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
This thing can be called a painting, but at best it is a child's graffiti.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I didn’t expect that this beauty with outstanding appearance and singing voice would be so bad at painting.
"Ahem...Miss Clara, what are you drawing?"
But even so, Kamisato Ayaka suppressed her smile and asked the question she wanted to ask most seriously.
"Ah...well, I am imitating the sister you drew. I don't have a sister, but I think it would be a good thing if I could have one."
This is true. Bai Qiyun, who grew up under the oppression of two cheap sisters, really wants to have a younger sister.
At least that way he wouldn't be the youngest in the family.
"Yes...yes."
After the two handed the Ema to the enthusiastic stall owner, Ayaka Kamisato stood in front of the booth, lowered her head, clasped her hands together, and prayed silently.
Although Bai Qiyun didn't understand it, he learned it in a decent manner.
It's just that unlike Kamisato Ayaka's wish to pray for the health of his family, his wish is closer to 'expectation' than the word 'wishes'.
For example, things like 'Paimon eat less to avoid gaining weight', 'Pay attention to your sleeping position when sleeping', 'Shen He will work well as a waiter in Tingyuge' and so on.
After a while, Kamisato Ayaka raised her head, looked at Bai Qiyun who was doing nothing next to her and smiled apologetically.
That is to say, her face was covered by the mask, otherwise Bai Qiyun would see her and feel like a sissy again.
"Sorry, it's a bit long."
"It's okay."
We ate and played. Although the time was short, Ayaka Kamisato had a thorough enough rest today.
She subconsciously stretched her waist, and her feminine movements once again attracted Bai Qiyun's sideways gaze.
A full moon hung in the sky, indicating that it was already very late.
It's time to take a rest.
Kamisato Ayaka originally planned to find a hotel near Ganjin Island for one night with Bai Qiyun and return the next day.
But Bai Qiyun was not willing to spend the night with a stranger, even if he slept in a separate room. The possibility of exposing his true identity was too great.
Therefore, the two had no choice but to return to the wave boat and rush back to the outlying island while the night was still dark.
