Chapter 608 - 388: Wedding (1)
On the tenth day of the second month of autumn, the weather is clear.In autumn, under the influence of high pressure, the weather is clear, with little moisture in the air and high transparency, the day is cloudless, and at night the sky is full of stars, thus the saying "high sky and scarce clouds" has existed since ancient times.
In Japan, October is also known as "Kannazuki," the month without gods.
[In October, Kannazuki, it is said that the gods gather in Izumo. Only in Izumo is it called Kamiarizuki, the month with gods.]
It is believed among the people that in October, the eight million heavenly gods gather in Izumo, leaving the rest of Japan without gods.
Conversely, in October, Izumo is referred to as: "Kamiarizuki," the month with gods.
On the tenth day of October, it’s also Hanabi’s birthday.
The wedding and the birthday are scheduled on the same day.
The Shrine Master of Meiji Shrine had previously helped the couple choose the date, also saying that this day is "extremely good."
If the clouds disperse, it signifies that the marriage is blessed by the gods in heaven.
Although Uesugi Sakura doesn’t believe in auspicious days, making both mothers a little happier is quite nice.
A Shinto wedding is a vow made in front of the gods to love each other for a lifetime.
Uesugi Sakura sat in his room, looking at himself in the mirror, repeatedly asking himself if he was excited, expectant, or emotional.
He answered himself: "All of the above."
Until now, he could barely remember many things from his past life.
But he knew in his heart that he had never been as happy as he was today.
Knock, knock.
Two knocks on the door, Uesugi Nobuko pushed open the door to the room, holding the doorknob with her right hand, looking at her son with a smiling face:
"Sakura, it’s time to get ready to leave."
Uesugi Sakura stood up, glanced at the layers of clouds floating in the clear sky outside the window, and the bright sunlight shining on the earth.
He looked at the drifting white clouds outside the window, thinking, if there really are gods, they are also blessing the beautiful Hanabi.
...
At eleven o’clock in the morning, Goto Iwao arrived at the Harajuku Hotel near Meiji Shrine.
He adjusted his neat suit and, after confirming everything was in order, passed through the luxurious hotel lobby to find Tsubokawa Takahiro sitting on a minimalist sofa in the guest lounge area.
By this time, many people had gathered in the lounge, both young and old, some of whom were likely elders of Uesugi Sakura or Hanamaru Hanabi, and Goto noticed several familiar old classmates by chance.
Tsubokawa Takahiro, also dressed in a neat suit, with a lily of the valley boutonniere on his chest, waved his hand in greeting as soon as he saw Goto:
"Yo, you actually came."
"What are you talking about! How could I not come to Uesugi’s invitation?" Goto replied with a smile, casually sitting down next to Tsubokawa, "Did Uesugi invite all our high school classmates?" The most update n0vels are published on ????????????????????·????????????????·????????????
"No, just a few close friends."
"It’s colder in the Capital City, right?" Tsubokawa asked, handing him the teapot on the table.
Goto immediately picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of hot tea to warm up, "That’s true. But I still miss our high school days! Uesugi as my wingman, and me chatting up girls, it was perfect."
"Jerk."
"Ahem," Goto coughed twice and put down his teacup, "nobody’s perfect, and anyway, I was just chatting, nothing more."
"Do you forget about when you got Uesugi misunderstood among the girls?"
"Of course I remember! How could I forget, but I was set up too, secretly telling you..." Goto Iwao covered his mouth, leaning closer to Tsubokawa Takahiro’s ear, "That girl in the second row, next to the aisle seat, do you remember?"
Tsubokawa thought for a moment and said, "Naoami?"
"Yes, her."
"What about her?" Tsubokawa was very puzzled.
Goto Iwao lowered his voice even further, "She liked Uesugi back then."
"Ah..."
Tsubokawa first opened his mouth in surprise, then quickly switched to a plain tone, "That’s pretty normal, what’s strange about that, Uesugi was quite popular in high school, right?"
"You know, Uesugi has Hanamaru, and Naoami knows she can’t compete, so..."
The sentence was not finished.
But Tsubokawa roughly understood what Goto meant.
Naoami was the kind of girl who was a bit eager for success, with some small jealousies among girls.
Goto Iwao suddenly waved his hand with a smile, "Let it go, let it go, it’s all old stuff, let’s not talk more about it today."
Tsubokawa thought for a moment, "But wait, Naoami liking Uesugi should mean she would badmouth Hanamaru, why talk about Uesugi?"
"Who knows? Let’s not talk about this! We’re here to celebrate Uesugi’s wedding, and he’s the happiest one today."
"You seem excited?" Tsubokawa laughed.
"Of course, he’s getting married now, although it’s a bit early. The three of us were best friends in high school, I’m just feeling a little bit envious, what about you, Goto, have you found a girlfriend yet?"
"Me?" Tsubokawa Takahiro sighed, "I just ruined a family matchmaking my parents arranged a few days ago."
"Was it intentional?" Goto Iwao held the teacup, looking at him.
"Yes... they were all spoiled young ladies... asking me to pour tea for them the moment we met, I couldn’t handle it," Tsubokawa Takahiro looked up at him, "Enough about me, what about you?"
"Me? Didn’t you know, I had three girlfriends in the Capital City! They were all beautiful girls!" Goto Iwao said with pride.
Tsubokawa Takahiro pushed up the middle frame of his glasses with his middle finger, disdainful, "Three? All three broke up with you."
Goto Iwao paused his motion of drinking tea, looking at him with some surprise:
"How do you know, you scoundrel?"
Tsubokawa Takahiro, pretending to be mysterious, picked up a toothpick from the coffee table with his right hand, casually drawing a couple of strokes in front of him, striking a pose like a magic professor:
