Home Categories light novel Looking forward to your visit: Old Street Wagashi Shop·Kurimaru Hall
On the way, Kurita expressed his gratitude for Aoi's help last time, and told Aoi that Dou Daifuku is now well received by regular customers.After hearing this, Aoi narrowed her eyes as if she was happy about her own affairs and said, "That's great! I've always thought about this matter, but I've been too busy recently, so I can't come to Asakusa..." "You're so busy?" "Yes... Our family is quite special, sometimes people come to us with troubles to discuss." Kurita was stunned for a moment. "What kind of family is your family?"

"A normal family." After Aoi brought up the topic as if nothing had happened, she sped up her speech somewhat unnaturally, "However, I'm free all day today. Ever since I received a call from the owner of the coffee shop, I've been so busy every day. It should be said that I was so busy in order to have fun today. I am not exaggerating at all. No, it is too exaggerated. Is it an exaggeration or not!" "Calm down." "All in all, that... I really enjoy being part of a lively event." "That's it." That being the case, taking Aoi to the school celebration is a good choice without being picky.

Although Kurita is concerned about Aoi's family situation, he also senses that Aoi can talk about other things endlessly, but is reluctant to talk about her family situation.The coffee shop owner also said that it is difficult to ask the answer, so Kurita decided to wait patiently until Aoi was willing to speak out. — After all, this is not something to worry about. In late autumn, when the ginkgo trees were turning bright yellow, Kurita told himself this while walking the streets of Asakusa with Aoi. Although there is a faint unique smell of ginkgo from time to time, the scenery is very beautiful, and Kurita and Aoi chatted very enthusiastically.

The two came to the station to catch the tram on the Isesaki Line, and after changing trains at Hikifune Station, they continued to shake with the tram for several minutes. After arriving at the destination station, within a few minutes of walking, the university appeared in front of you. "Wow...the university you study is so close!" "It's close, isn't it? To be honest, that's why I applied for the exam here, and I passed the exam. After all, my academic ability was almost at the level of this school..." Although Kurita originally had the idea that "as long as he can squeeze in, it doesn't matter which university he goes to", but later checked and found that this is a pretty good university.Graduates of this university can easily find jobs, and they can also obtain teaching qualifications in mathematics or science. If he hadn't inherited Kurimuda, maybe Kurita was suffering so much to get credits at this time.Nearly a year later, Kurita walked through the main entrance of the university again.

As soon as she passed through the main entrance, Aoi immediately cheered loudly: "Yeah...it's so lively!" "It's quite decent..." Although today is a weekday, surprisingly many people came to the school celebration. Basically, this university only has a science department—Kurita himself is studying science and engineering—so the students must be mostly boys, so it is difficult to describe the university life here as happy as being in a flower bush.Therefore, Kurita did not have too much expectation for the school celebration. He did not expect that the school celebration would be unexpectedly lively, which surprised him.

All the people who came to the school celebration were young people, presumably most of them were students from nearby universities. Kurita and Aoi walked towards the bustling campus while looking around. The campus is full of handmade signboards with various designs, some with scribbled fonts, and some with illustrations that even the painters are inferior to. According to the banners hanging on the campus, today is the eve of the school celebration, and singers were invited to hold a concert in the evening. This must be the reason why so many people came to the school celebration. "Ah! Mr. Kurita, take a look over there..."

"Ok?" Kurita looked in the direction Aoi pointed, and saw a light-colored signboard with a low-key design.He saw "Wagashi Research Institute" written on the signboard, so he went closer to take a closer look at the content. "'Wagashi Research Club Activity Guessing Contest!'..." "'We are an association composed of the first-ever handsome men and beauties of this university. The quiz contest with the theme of wagashi will be grandly launched at 2:00 p.m.! A lot of prizes for high-grade red beans are waiting for you! Know your wagashi knowledge Confident friends are welcome to participate!'..."

Kurita and Aoi looked at each other silently. "...What kind of event is this?" "It seems to be researching wagashi clubs..." "Well, this is also the first time I know that there is such a society." Kurita moved his face closer to the signboard and stared at it intently. "However, how could it be a guessing contest? Generally, it should be homemade wagashi, and then set up a stall to sell it, right?" "Could it be because there are too few members and there are not enough people to set up a stall? Or maybe it's just that we didn't grab a stall."

"That's right, it feels like this kind of club shouldn't have too many members." In order to make up for this, a guessing activity in the form of recruiting contestants is held.In this way, even if there are only a few members, the event can be held successfully, and at the same time, there is an opportunity to publish the knowledge of Japanese and Nanako that is usually researched.This may be a plan to kill two birds with one stone thought up by the Wagashi Research Institute. However, the prizes are nothing to look at, so they probably won't attract too many people to participate—— Kurita thought with a wry smile.

"This event seems to be held every day during the school celebration! Kurita-san, are you going to see it?" "No, I'm not interested in layman's games. Leaving that aside, I just remembered when I was talking about the booth. I actually have to meet a guy today." "Who are you going to see?" "A male friend of the same age, he seems to be at a certain booth. Wait a minute." After looking around, Kurita leaned on the booth that seemed to have the least customers and asked: "Excuse me, I'm looking for a male student who looks unmotivated, speaks viciously, and is dressed in a visual department. Do you know his booth? Where is it?"

"Uh... Huh? Aren't you Kurita-san?" Although Kurita was in the same class as this person in the past, the two parties only recognized each other's looks and friendship, and the two had never talked to each other. Unexpectedly, this person still remembered Kurita. "yes." "It has been a long time. How are you?" "It's passable." "That's the best. If you're looking for Asaba-san, he should be on that side—" A classmate explained Rei Asaba's location in an easy-to-understand manner. Going straight along this central avenue, you will see the No. 1 classroom building. There is a comprehensive service center for the school celebration in front of the No. 1 classroom building, and Asaba's booth is nearby.That location can be said to be the most suitable prime location for business. What kind of prime location is this guy Asaba robbing from others? Kurita thought this way, squinting at the purple cosmos blooming in the flowerbed by the roadside. Walking on the avenue, I saw Asahi's booth.Asaba immediately spotted Kurita. Asaba took off her apron and quickly walked out of the booth.But as the distance between Kurita and Kurita gradually narrowed, Asaba's way of walking changed, and it became a look that was bothersome and too lazy to walk. After face to face, the first sentence Asaba said was completely in line with his style. "What's the matter, I read it wrong. I thought it was a dung beetle, but it turned out to be you, Kurita." "...too lazy to talk to you." Asaha was still dressed in eye-catching attire as usual. He brushed his shoulder-length light gray hair up, wore a cross necklace around his neck, and wore a long knitted sweater with cross-fronts. Although this style of clothes is difficult to control, Asaha does not feel cheap when worn.The reason is simple, because he is wearing high-end goods. Although it is only a small factory located in the old street, Asaba is at least the heir of "Asaba Works", and he has never been short of pocket money since before. "Kurita, so you're still alive? I thought you'd died by the side of the road a long time ago." "Your attitude is still the same as before." Kurita casually dismissed Asaba's harsh words, and Asaba snorted and said, "Same as before? Just kidding, I'm not as naive as I used to be now. I now feel that only things to sell can be sweet." Asaba handed out a small paper bag, and said to Kurita in a mocking tone: "Anyway, you'll know after eating and looking at this." — Egg cakes in a paper bag.
