"Do we want to continue shopping in the afternoon? Or should we go to the movies directly after eating?" After thinking for a while, Yushan Heren asked.
"We'll go to the movies after lunch. After the movie, if we still have enough time, we'll go for a walk." said Doma.
Yushan Kazuto nodded, hoping that the movie would last longer and not leave enough time for shopping.
While waiting for Toumori Sanae and her group in the restaurant, Yushan Kazuto had already checked the nearby cinemas and movie schedules on the map.
One of the films is as long as three hours, which seems a bit out of place among the many short Japanese films.
It’s just that the movie is about to be taken off the screen, so there are fewer screenings. The next one will be in an hour, and the next one will be in three hours.
"Is that so? I looked at the schedule of the nearby cinemas and there are some good movies. But let's order food first."
Everyone nodded and called the waiter over.
The service in the restaurant is quite good. Although it is not as good as those top restaurants, for a small shop hidden in a busy city, the service attitude is already very good, unlike the Wagyu BBQ restaurant that Yushan and Obito went to before.
The food was served very quickly, within 20 minutes of ordering.
This made Yushan Heren feel relieved. It would still be difficult for him to delay it to three hours later.
……
The lunch made everyone very satisfied. Yuuki Asuna has a very good taste. Although the restaurant is not big, it is indeed unique.
After lunch, everyone sat on their chairs and started to discuss what movie to watch.
"It seems that there is no movie I really want to watch." Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but blink slightly.
They were all historical films, horror films, and the like. Just looking at the covers made Doma Mai feel a little overwhelmed.
Yuuki Asuna sat aside, drinking tea silently. There was nothing too exciting recently.
The only movie that interested her, the one that she paid some attention to, was really too long.
Sanae Toumori and Rikka Takanashi huddled together, their brows also furrowed.
Although the movie part was part of the birthday process planned by several people together, they were in a dilemma when it came to choosing the movie.
Sanae Touma has no interest in movies, and Rikka Takanashi has hardly ever been to the cinema.
Asking them to choose a movie now is really putting them in a difficult position.
Nana Ebina sat aside and watched silently. Like Touma Sanae and others, she rarely watched movies.
It’s not that Nana Ebina is not interested in movies, it’s mainly because there are usually a lot of people in the cinema. Just imagining herself sitting in a cinema surrounded by strangers, Nana Ebina’s body began to tremble.
"How was this movie?" Seeing that no one spoke, Yushan Kazuto realized that it was his chance to speak, and he showed his cell phone screen.
"A movie that lasts more than three hours?" Domama came closer, but when she saw the market, she was so scared that she sat back down.
"But compared to those one-hour movies, the ticket price is not expensive at all." Yushan Kazuto smiled.
Asuna Yuuki couldn't help but blink. She didn't look at the screen of Haneyama Kazuto's phone. Just by listening to what Doma Mei said, she already knew which movie it was.
Chapter 1649: The Wish Come True
"Is it the movie "Torotaro's Summer"? " Yuuki Asuna asked.
"Asuna, you know that too?" Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but smile.
"Although it's a bit long, it's a movie worth watching." said Yuuki Asuna.
Yushan Heren looked at the people around him, and no one else spoke.
Although the process of watching the movie was planned at the beginning, it was actually just a matter of setting it up.
I actually have no plan as to what movies to watch or which specific movies to watch.
They don't even know what the latest movie is.
"Since everyone has no objection, let's go watch this movie." Yushan Kazuto said.
Several people nodded, but no one spoke. Only Yuuki Asuna spoke up, "But it seems that "Koutaro's Summer" is about to be taken off the screen. There shouldn't be many screenings, right?"
"Well, there are indeed not many screenings. At the nearby cinema, the next show will start in fifteen minutes, and the next one may be an hour and a half later." Yushan Heren said.
"Then let's set off quickly, death." Toumori Sanae stood up and prepared to leave.
Yushan Kazuto smiled and looked at Toumori Sanae who had already walked to the door, and couldn't help but call her: "Sanae, you didn't take the spoils from this morning!"
Toumori Sanae finally reacted and hurried back to her seat to pick up the bags.
When she goes out, Sanae Toumori never brings her wallet, after all, there is always someone at home to help pay the bills.
However, this time, because it was an agreement in advance, Toumori Sanae brought her wallet with her for the first time. It was because of this that she was able to gain such rich spoils.
"Let's put the things in the car first." After paying the bill and walking out of the restaurant, Yushan Kazuto said.
A few people nodded. Carrying so many bags to the cinema didn't seem to be a good choice.
Following Yushan Kazuto to the car, Toumori Sanae put her things down and climbed into the passenger seat.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly: "Sanae, what are you doing?"
"Not driving to death?" Toumori Sanae asked.
"Uh..." Yushan Kazuto was a little choked by Toumori Sanae's words.
"If you take a look at the back seat, you'll know that I'm not driving a long van like Sister Touka's," Yushan Kazuto said.
Toumori Sanae blinked slightly, blushed a little, and hurriedly got out of the car.
There were a little too many people present, and the car driven by Yushan Kazuto couldn't accommodate them all. If it was the long van driven by Touka Kotori, it wouldn't be a big problem.
Fortunately, the cinema was not far from the restaurant, and it was only five or six minutes' walk away. The group walked slowly on the road.
……
"How was your morning shopping?" While walking, Yushan Kazuto turned his head and asked Ebina Nana.
Nana Ebina kept her head down. Although she heard Hayama Kazuto speak, she never thought that Hayama Kazuto was asking about her.
A few seconds later, when no one around her spoke, Ebina Nana finally responded: "Ask, ask me?"
"Yeah." Yushan Heren couldn't help but shrugged.
Nana Ebina blushed a little, but still said in a low voice: "Not bad, there are not many people on the street."
Looking at Nana Ebina's reaction, Kazuto Hayama couldn't help but smile and nodded.
The morning passed without incident, but Nana Ebina didn't have high expectations for the afternoon.
In her impression, a cinema is a place with crowds of people. That is why Nana Ebina has never been to a cinema since she was a child.
As she stepped into the cinema, Nana Ebina couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
The atmosphere of the cinema perfectly matched Nana Ebina's imagination.
"Totarō's Summer" is a movie produced by Toho, and it is currently only showing in Toho theaters.
As a cinema chain under Toho, the decoration of Toho Cinema has always been very good. Looking at the modern decorations around, Nana Ebina couldn't help but blink slightly.
However, what surprised Nana Ebina was that the cinema did not seem as crowded as she had imagined, but was instead very quiet.
Apart from our group, there were only a few parents with children.
Yushan and Ren walked to the front desk and bought a few movie tickets, then turned back and asked, "Would you like to buy some snacks?"
"Buy some, but don't buy too much, we just finished lunch." Yuuki Asuna said.
After looking at the others and seeing no one raised any objections, Yushan Kazuto nodded and turned to look at the staff.
……
"Three big buckets of popcorn!" Tsuchima couldn't help but blink slightly.
He said before that he had only bought a little after lunch, but I didn’t expect Yushan and others to buy so much.
"After all, there are so many people, one or two buckets are not enough." Yushan Heren smiled.
The movie I watched in the afternoon was quite long. I wasn’t hungry because I had just finished lunch. However, during the long three hours, I would always feel like eating.
"As for the drinks, you can choose yourselves. There are only juice and cola, nothing else." Yushan Kazuto placed the drinks on the small table.
Sanae Toumori took a cup of Coke first and walked aside. Rikka Takanashi thought about it and took a glass of juice.
Yuuki Asuna and Ebina Nana came over and also
He chose a glass of juice for himself, and Doma Mai stayed behind, leaving only a glass of Coke on the table.
"Mamoru-chan, it seems like you can't drink carbonated drinks? Shall I buy you a can of Fuji Green Tea?" Yuyama Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly and looked at Doma Mai.
Usually, Doma Mai drinks Fuji Green Tea. There happens to be a vending machine in the lobby of the cinema. If Doma Mai can't drink Coke, it won't be a problem for Yushan Kazuto to buy her a can of Fuji Green Tea.
"No, don't bother, Senior Kazuto, I'll just drink this." Tsuchima Mai said hurriedly.
What a joke! I put myself at the last place with great effort to create the image that I drank the carbonated drink out of necessity.
In fact, he secretly took the Coke he wanted, but Yushan Kazuto wanted to replace it with Fuji Green Tea, which he absolutely could not accept!
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly, looking at the way Doma Mai was protecting Cola, as if an old hen was protecting her chicks, and couldn't help feeling a little strange.
"Please hurry up and take your seats in Hall 4. The show "Koutaro's Summer" is about to begin."
Listening to the broadcast in the cinema, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly and stood up.
Although he still felt that Domama's actions were a little strange, Yushan Kazuto didn't bother to ask. He took the movie ticket and walked towards the ticket gate.
Looking around, the other guests showed no intention of getting up, so Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink slightly and walked quickly into the screening room area.
Chapter 1650: Kotaro's Summer
"Torotaro's Summer", judging from the name, it seems a bit like "Kikujiro's Summer", but in fact they are two completely different types of movies.
"Kikujiro's Summer" is a romantic road movie, while "Kotetaro's Summer" is more like a sitcom. From the design and structure of the film, it is more like "Mr. Bean".
However, the director of this movie is obviously ambitious. He does not want his movie to be limited to sitcoms, so he adds a lot of thoughts and life philosophies.
In the three-hour movie, the director is committed to showing the joys and sorrows of Kotaro's life in one summer, as well as the feeling of sadness about the changing times and the difficulty of catching up with the past.
However, his appetite seemed to be a bit too big. The mixture of many elements made the film look a bit chaotic. The director was unable to control the rhythm, but wanted to cover everything, which resulted in the film being dragged on to an exaggerated length of more than three hours.
It is reported that the three-hour version was released after the director made several edits, and the original edited version was even longer than four and a half hours.
Due to the overly long running time, the film was somewhat critically acclaimed but not commercially successful. Most people were put off by the three-hour running time. However, those who could walk into the cinema and sit through the three hours patiently would generally not pour cold water on the film.
Recently, "Totarō's Summer" is about to be released, and there are very few people who come to see this movie. Yushan Kazuto chose the most deserted afternoon show.
This resulted in the fact that, apart from Yushan and his group, there were no other moviegoers in the theater!
The huge cinema hall was booked by Yushan and a few others!
Seeing the empty theater, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly. Originally, he had indeed thought of booking the theater for himself. After all, Nana Ebina was there, and sitting among the crowd might make her feel a little uneasy.
But in the end, Yushan Heren gave up this plan. It was not because Yushan Heren had any extra considerations, but because it was too late and it was too late to book the entire place.
Generally, if you want to book a cinema, you need to make a reservation at least three days in advance. After all, most cinemas accept advance reservations.
You can't refund the original ticket customers just because a special order suddenly came in, right? This is a question of business credibility, and the cinema won't be so stupid.
Of course, if Yushan Kazuto wants to book the entire venue temporarily, there are actually ways around it. Whether he just asks Shinomiya Kaguya for help or talks to the Touma family, there are solutions.
But that would seem to be too much of a hassle for others, so after thinking about it for a while, Yushan Heren gave up the idea.
Unexpectedly, by some strange coincidence, I only bought six movie tickets but ended up renting the entire theater.
Looking around, this theater is of medium size, with about eighty seats.
With Yushan and six other people placed in this theater, it really felt empty.
Nana Ebina couldn't help but blink slightly. She had felt something was wrong before. There were very few people in the cinema, and after arriving at the theater, it felt like the theater was private.
"This movie is quite long, and many viewers don't like it very much, but it's actually still a very good movie."
Seeing that Yushan and his friends were taking a long time to take their seats, the staff waiting at the door couldn't help but speak.
"Okay, let's find a seat and sit down first." Yushan Heren said.
"You can sit anywhere you like, as long as you feel comfortable watching." The staff spoke again.
Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink and looked at the others.
Although the staff said that everyone could sit anywhere, everyone still looked at their movie tickets and found their seats.
