"Is there no other place in Tokyo suitable for New Year's shrine visits?" Kaguya Shinomiya still felt that there were too many people.
"There is also a Meiji Jingu Shrine, which has more worshippers than Sensō-ji Temple!" Before Hayasaka Ai could answer, Fujiwara Chika spoke first.
"Then... let's stay in Sensō-ji Temple." Shinomiya Kaguya blinked and gave up the idea of changing the place of worship.
Hayasaka Ai was relieved. The reason she brought Shinomiya Kaguya to Sensō-ji Temple was mainly to delay time.
While Kaguya Shinomiya was queuing up to worship at Sensō-ji Temple, everyone else in the Shinomiya Villa was doing their best to prepare for her birthday.
I hope they can be more efficient.
Hayasaka Ai thought so.
……
Looking at the garbled text on the incoming call, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but feel a little strange:
"You just returned to Tokyo, why are you calling back?"
"Kid, have you called the little girl from the Shinomiya family?" asked Yayoi Yuyama on the other end of the phone.
"The little girl from the Shinomiya family? Shinomiya Kaguya? Hasn't she been expelled from the Shinomiya family?" Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink.
"Why am I calling her? Is there something? Is it a New Year's greeting?"
"You kid don't know anything?" Yayoi Yushan couldn't help but say.
"What's the matter? What does it have to do with me?" Yushan Heren was a little confused.
"You don't even know the other person's birthday, and you still pretend to be his boyfriend?" Yayoi Yuyama shouted.
"Uh..." Yushan Heren was a little speechless. He was just repaying a favor to Shinomiya Kaguya at the beginning. Who knew Shinomiya Kaguya's birthday or something like that.
"Then...how did you know that Kaguya Shinomiya's birthday is today?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
Now it was Yayoi Hayama's turn to be speechless. He had gone to Shinomiya's house to hang a plaque for Shinomiya Mingyezhu, and it was at that time that he learned about Shinomiya Kaguya's birthday.
Since Kaguya Shinomiya's birthday was New Year's Day, Yayoi Hayama remembered it at once, and the memory is still very clear until now.
"Anyway, remember to call her. After all, today is her birthday." After saying this, Yushan Yayoi hurriedly hung up the phone. Yushan Kazuto blinked, put away the phone, and walked back to Wencheng.
"Senior Kazuto, who called just now?" asked Yuuki Asuna.
"It's my dad." Yushan Heren said.
"Uncle Yushan? Is there something wrong with him? I seemed to hear the name of Senior Shinomiya?" Yuuki Asuna said.
"Oh, by the way, today is Senior Shinomiya's birthday, and I haven't sent her birthday wishes yet." Yuuki Asuna suddenly remembered.
"Eh, you know that too?" Yushan Kazuto blinked and looked at Yuuki Asuna with some surprise.
"Beep, beep", Yushan Kazuto's cell phone rang again, this time it was a text message from Ye Mi.
"Today is Kaguya Shinomiya's birthday, remember to give her a call."
Yushan Kazuto scratched his head. Why did he feel like he was the only one who didn't know that Shinomiya Kaguya's birthday was on New Year's Day? He finally felt what Yukinoshita Yukino felt that day.
It feels like being excluded.
"Senior Kazuto, have you forgotten senior Shinomiya's birthday?" Yuuki Asuna was also a little surprised. Shinomiya Kaguya's birthday was so easy to remember, could it be that Kazuto Hayama didn't even remember this?
"Uh...it's not that I forgot, it's that I didn't know it at all." Yushan Heren said.
"Let's stop here for the morning study. It's getting late now. I have to go to Ding's room to cook." Yushan Heren closed the books on the table.
I didn't read for long in the morning before I was interrupted by Doma Mai and Hayama Yayoi respectively. Hayama Kazuto didn't feel like reading any more.
"Senior Kazuto, let me help you." Yuuki Asuna also covered the book in her hand and said.
Yushan Kazuto looked at Yuuki Asuna, nodded, and the two walked out of Bunjo together.
[Let’s call Shinomiya Kaguya when it’s almost time for lunch. ]
Yushan and Xinxin said.
……
"Kaguya, come and look, come and look, there is a New Year's lottery claw machine here!"
After paying homage, Kaguya Shinomiya followed the voice of Chika Fujiwara and walked to a claw machine.
"Use the claw machine to draw the New Year's fortune?" Kaguya Shinomiya felt it was not very reliable.
"It's okay. Mengye told me that claw machines in this kind of shrine are free!"
Because the purpose is to ask for New Year fortunes, the claws of the claw machines in shrines are usually incredibly strong, and they may be able to catch a cow.
"Then let's give it a try." said Kaguya Shinomiya.
Chapter 763: Happy Birthday, Kaguya
Three coins, carrying all the beautiful visions and hopes for the new year, rolled into the flat cherry mouth of the claw machine.
With a "click", the flexible and powerful three-claw hook was activated. Although Kaguya Shinomiya had seen claw machines before, she had never tried it herself. Her little hand holding the handle of the claw machine was shaking a little.
The three-claw hook is swinging back and forth in the claw machine. You might think that Kaguya Shinomiya is a high-end player who knows how to swing the hook. In fact, Kaguya Shinomiya is just too nervous.
"Kaguya, lower your claws quickly, lower your claws quickly!" Fujiwara Chika stood aside and urged loudly. The claw hook of the claw machine has a time limit, and it will automatically lower its claws after the time is exceeded.
Watching the time on the timing screen gradually elapse, Shinomiya Kaguya became more and more nervous. She raised her right hand high, as if pouring all her strength and faith into her fingers, and dropped it heavily!
With a "bang", Kaguya Shinomiya's fingers missed and fell on the operating table.
Fortunately, she restrained herself at the last moment, otherwise a fracture would have been just a minor matter.
Watching the numbers on the LED panel reach zero, Kaguya Shinomiya knew that she no longer had a chance.
The three-claw hook slowly fell down and got stuck in the middle of the two balls. I grabbed it with force, but there was nothing.
She quickly retracted it with some frustration, and even shook it a little in anger. The three-claw hook finally returned to its original place. Only Kaguya Shinomiya was left standing in front of the claw machine in a daze, as if she couldn't accept it.
"What's the point of the New Year's fortune if I don't get it?" Kaguya Shinomiya asked dazedly.
"If you don't get it, you can try again." Fujiwara Chika replied somewhat embarrassedly.
The lottery claw machine in the shrine is the only one where Fujiwara Chika can grab the doll, because the claw power of this claw machine is so strong that there will be no accidental drop.
But Fujiwara Chika didn't expect that Shinomiya Kaguya didn't catch it! This was something she had never expected.
With the encouragement of Fujiwara Chika and Hayasaka Ai, Shinomiya Kaguya decided to try again. She put in a few coins again, gathered all her energy, condensed all the chakra in her body into one, burned her own small universe, and used Kamehameha - Pai - Qi - Gong - Wave!
Sorry for getting off topic, but her radiance and her posture are, without a doubt, the real Ultra Instinct.
"Ring, ring, ring." Kaguya Shinomiya's blood had not yet started to boil when she was suddenly interrupted by the ringing of a cell phone. In a hurry, Kaguya Shinomiya hurriedly pressed a button randomly.
The three-claw hook slowly dropped down again with light movements, showing the style of a master. However, the ability to pass through a sea of flowers without getting a single leaf on one's body was also admirable.
"Ka...Kazuto?" Shinomiya Kaguya was a little surprised. She was caught off guard by the sudden call from Kazuto Yushan and was not mentally prepared at all.
"Eh? Kaguya, there seem to be a lot of people around you? Are you having a birthday party?" Yushan Kazuto could hear the noise coming from Shinomiya Kaguya's phone.
"No...no, I'm visiting the New Year's Shrine." Shinomiya Kaguya explained hurriedly.
"Are you visiting the shrine so late?" Yushan Kazuto blinked. It was almost time for lunch.
He prepared lunch before calling Shinomiya Kaguya, but he didn't expect that Shinomiya Kaguya was still at the shrine.
"There are too many people in Sensō-ji Temple..." Shinomiya Kaguya explained weakly.
"That's true... Sensō-ji Temple has always had a lot of visitors," said Hayama Kazuto.
"You? Why did you call me suddenly?" Shinomiya Kaguya felt her mind was a mess, and she even forgot what Yushan and others had said before.
"Isn't it your birthday today? So I called to wish you a happy sixteenth birthday." Yushan Heren smiled, and even through the phone, one could hear Yushan Heren's hearty laughter.
"It's New Year and my birthday, double happiness!"
"Thank you, thank you." Kaguya Shinomiya's face turned red, and her two little feet had turned into a shy pigeon-toed shape.
"No? You're welcome?" Yushan Heren felt that the dialogue was a little strange.
"You? How do you know my birthday is on this day? I...I don't think I mentioned it to you."
Yushan Kazuto smiled awkwardly. He really didn't know when Shinomiya Kaguya's birthday was. It was only when Yushan Yayoi called to remind him that he realized that Shinomiya Kaguya's birthday was today.
"I learned this from others. Don't worry about it so much. Just celebrate your birthday happily."
"Yeah." Shinomiya Kaguya responded softly.
"Since you are still paying homage, I won't disturb you for now. It's time for me to have lunch. After the worship, Kaguya, you should also eat quickly." Yushan Kazuto said.
"I understand. Bye...bye." said Kaguya Shinomiya.
"Goodbye."
Yushan and Ren were about to hang up the phone with a smile, but they heard someone on the other end say, "Wait."
"Is there anything else? Kaguya?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
"Happy New...Happy New Year."
The last "Happy New Year" was said unusually quickly. Before Yushan Kazuto replied, there was a "beep, beep, beep" sound from the other end of the phone. Shinomiya Kaguya had already hung up the phone and put the phone into her bag in the blink of an eye.
Yushan Kazuto blinked, put away his phone, and shouted to the room inside: "Asuina, it's time for lunch!"
Yuuki Asuna came out of the kitchen carrying the dishes: "Got it, Kazuto-senpai."
……
"Kaguya, who called you just now?" Fujiwara Chika came close to Shinomiya Kaguya and asked curiously.
Shinomiya Kaguya moved her lips, intending to ask Fujiwara Chika to move aside, but Fujiwara Chika understood it as wanting to answer.
"Wait a moment, let the great detective Fujiwara Chika analyze it!"
"When you first received the call, Kaguya, you were a little stunned. Obviously, you didn't expect the other party to call you!"
"After that, Kaguya, you seemed a little excited, your whole face turned red, and you were obviously very angry!"
"After the call, you hurriedly threw the phone into your bag, which clearly showed that you, Kaguya, never wanted to receive calls from the other party again!"
"To sum up, Kaguya, the one who called you was your brother - Shinomiya Huangguang, right?"
After Kaguya Shinomiya left the Shinomiya family, she was finally able to find someone to confide in about the unfair treatment she received in the Shinomiya family. Fujiwara Chika was a good person to talk to, and the other party also learned about the conflict between Kaguya Shinomiya and Shinomiya Huang Guang.
Shinomiya Kaguya blinked. Fujiwara Chika's analysis was outrageous. Except for the first one which anyone could see, the rest of the analysis was completely wrong!
"Qianhua, move aside. I want to continue drawing the New Year's lot."
Chapter 764 Analysis Results
After many twists and turns and two failed draws, Kaguya Shinomiya finally got her New Year's lottery.
Seeing the New Year's lottery ball fall out of the exit, Shinomiya Kaguya was still very happy, but after seeing Hayasaka Ai succeed once, Shinomiya Kaguya's joy disappeared again.
However, after seeing the New Year's lottery, Kaguya Shinomiya became happy again.
However, these expressions would not show on Shinomiya Kaguya's face. She just quietly accepted the New Year's sign in her hand and said, "Should we go back to eat?"
……
"Asuna, have you messaged Kaguya?" After lunch, Yushan Kazuto asked, leaning back in his chair.
"I sent it before dinner." Yuuki Asuna said. She didn't have Kaguya Shinomiya as a LINE friend, so she just sent a blessing via text message, but until now, Kaguya Shinomiya hasn't clicked on it.
"There are quite a lot of people celebrating their birthdays in the first few days of January," Yushan Kazuto said suddenly.
"Is there anyone else's birthday?" Yuuki Asuna was not quite aware of this.
"And today is also the birthday of Shijo Maki, the niece of Shinomiya Kaguya." Yushan Kazuto said.
He had heard before that Shinomiya Kaguya and Shijo Maki had the same birthday, but Yushan Kazuto didn't know why their birthdays happened to be so coincidental, both on New Year's Day.
"Is Shijo-senpai's birthday today too?"
Although Yuuki Asuna knew that Shinomiya Kaguya and Shijo Mahikoo were not on good terms, she still had basic respect for Shijo Mahikoo.
However, she didn't know that the conflict between Shinomiya Kaguya and Shijo Shinki mainly came from the extension of the conflict between the Shinomiya family and the Shijo family. Now that Shinomiya Kaguya has left the Shinomiya family, the relationship between the two has actually eased a lot.
"Besides Senior Shijo, is there anyone else with a birthday?" asked Asuna Yuuki.
Yushan Kazuto said that there were quite a lot of people having birthdays, so there should be more than or equal to three people having birthdays.
"And Yukinoshita, her birthday is January 3rd." Yushan Kazuto said.
