Awakening

Chapter 190 Cage Part 1

At Yoshikawa’s suggestion, everyone agreed to participate in the temple fair in the evening on the nearby shrine.

Japan’s temples fair were many, and each place is different. But Kyoto’s Gion festival was very famous. From the 1st of July, onwards for the entire month, basically, every night there will be festivals that were held in various temples or shrines.

Although in today’s Japan, the sacrifice to the God of the temple was just a mere formality, it became one of the projects to attract visitors. But Kyoto is, after all, the ancient capital of Japan, and in this regard, the ceremony was much more formal than elsewhere.

That night, apart from Lei Yin, the people of Takeda Household all dressed up in Kimono and ready to participate in the temple fair, Takeda was no exception.

In order not to let Kanoyama Akiji renewed the conflict, Takeda, and the others went out to the temple fair that was held in the nearby shrine first.

When they arrived there, the festival has already begun. Everywhere one can see Kimono wearer people walking back and forth.

Although the original goal of holding the temple fair was to let people who wanted to get rich made their petition in the shrine, a few young people were not so devout and join in purely for the fun, just strolling around everywhere like it was an evening entertainment.

Amy, who has never participated in the temple fair, was very excited. In particular, she moved left and right like a pendulum, very interestedly looking at the various food stalls on both sides of the road.

For fear of her having a bad stomach, Lei Yin only dared to let her eat squid, and wouldn’t let her see the other snacks for too long.

In this temple fair, there was this most classic goldfish scooping stall. Seeing that she wanted to have the goldfish, Lei Yin did not personally catch it for her, but let her try scooping for herself. After trying a couple of times, although she failed to catch any fishes, the little girl was still very happily playing.

Takeda was a bit anxious and wanted to help her out, but even after breaking three paper nets, he still failed to catch any. Seeing Amy laughed at him, he became angry out of shame and simply squatted there and continued to try, determined to get at least one.

“I said it right, that guy did not even graduate from the kindergarten,” Yoshikawa said to Lei Yin.

“Do you envy him?” Lei Yin asked with a smile.

“Shoo, why would I envy him?”

After leaving the goldfish stall, Takeda cockily said: “See, I told you I am the goldfish scooping master.”

“Forget it. It took you so long just to get two of them, how could you have the nerve to call yourself a master.” Yoshikawa ridiculed.

Takeda refuted in a loud voice, “That’s just because in the beginning my scooping skill was a bit rusty. If you dare, let us compare....”

Before he finished, he heard a familiar voice from behind him: “Hidetoshi, so you guys are here.”

When they looked back they saw the brother of Takeda. Beside him, there were Kanoyama Akiji as well as his high school classmates and Kanoyama Akito. There were also two girls, who also seemed to be Kanoyama Akiji’s schoolmates. All of them dressed in Kimonos.

Takeda and Yoshikawa cannot help but bitterly smile to each other, they never thought they would be so quick to bump into each other.

“Where are father, aunt and the others?” Takeda asked his brother.

“Father, aunt, and uncle said there are too many people here, so they don’t come for fear of overcrowding.”

Hearing this sentence, Takeda was relieved. He did not want to see the old man’s face when he was trying to have some fun here.

Takeda Cangshi looked at everyone, and then, his vision, like being pulled by a very strong magnet, quickly zeroed in on Naoko in the pink Kimono.

Like him, the other people also like being under a spell, staring straight at Naoko. But the eyes of the two girls were apparently filled with hostility.

Noticing these several burning gazes, Naoko awkwardly shifted herself sideways to hide behind Lei Yin.

After their visions were blocked by Lei Yin’s body, these several people immediately reacted. Kanoyama Akiji and his several friends were jealous and hate of Lei Yin.

Takeda Cangshi lightly coughed and said to Takeda, “Since we have run into each other, let us walk together.”

Since the big brother has spoken, Takeda had to agree.

When they went to the shooting booth, Kanoyama Akiji said to Lei Yin: “Do you dare to contest against me with this?”

For this type of child-like vindictive contest, Lei Yin dryly coughed a bit before he said: “I am sorry, I don’t play this thing anymore since I was three years old.”

“You....” Kanoyama Akiji was furious.

Suddenly, when he saw the thing that was placed next to a stall, his eyes, all of a sudden, lit up.

Thus he said, pointing to the punch force measurement machine: “This is something that when you’re three years of age has not had enough right? What do you think, do you dare to make a bet with me? Whoever has the highest score in the punch force wins. The loser will take off his clothes to walk around here.” He was going to say, the loser will take off his pants, but he knew Takeda Cangshi would certainly forbid it, so he quickly changed his wording.

Takeda Cangshi cannot stand idly and said: “Cousin Kanayama, there is no meaning in this.”

“Cousin, this is just between me and him, please don’t interfere.” In fact, he knew why they wanted to find that guy’s trouble; besides the matter of his younger brother, the existence of that top beauty was also an important reason. He really wanted to make this guy lose face in front of the other people.

“Very well, but you need to be quick because I am in a hurry.” Contrary to Kanoyama Akiji’s expectation, Lei Yin actually agreed.

Kanayama Akiji sneered, walked to the front of that machine and prepared a Karate punch position.

His several classmates wore a proud expression. They knew Kanoyama Akiji was a Karate club member in the University, so they were confidence of him.

“Ha!” With a shout, Kanoyama Akiji punched that leather sheath, and the machine measurement scale immediately rose to number 85.

After he did that, he smugly said to Lei Yin: “Your turn.”

Lei Yin walked to the front of the stall owner and said: “Boss, if this thing is destroyed, won’t you lose money?”

The boss laughed, “If you have the ability, you don’t need to pay for it.”

“You said this yourself.” With that, he walked to the front of that machine and, without assuming any position, he just casually punch it.

“Bam!”, “Krack!” Two dull voice resounded, the whole leather sheath actually flew backward.

Seeing this scene, beside Naoko, Takeda, and Yoshikawa, the other people’s eyeballs almost fell out.
