Chapter 516: The Sorrow of Light and Moon (1)

Chapter 516 The Sorrow of Light and Moon [-]

The country of Wano, the capital of flowers.

Bang, bang, bang At the beginning of the new year, dazzling fireworks bloom in the sky with the bright moon hanging high, complementing the bright moonlight and matching the classical-style buildings below to form a beautiful picture.

On the crowded streets, the unique musical scale of the shamisen cuts through the noise of fireworks explosions and turns into bursts, urging the crowd to follow the sound.

In the attic where silver bells hang high at the four corners, the bells sway slightly in the night breeze. The pretty shadows of graceful figures sway through the lights in the house. Occasionally, people appear in the window wearing light makeup and covering their faces with paper fans. The beauty always makes the men below frequently raise their heads or look back.

The women following the men will look at their kimonos, touch their cheeks, and compare their looks. Those who think they look good will smile and attract countless appraising glances, while those who think they are inferior will sneer. He said at once: Tsk, a flirtatious vixen.

"Come on, take a look, the best snowflake cake only costs 10 copper coins to sweeten the new year."

"Yo, yo, you're passing by, don't miss it, ladies and gentlemen, look at how sharp this knife is."

"Soba noodles, soba noodles"

Whenever passers-by stop in front of the window of the Fireworks Lady, the vendors on the bluestone slabs on both sides of the street will shout even harder. Their shops include gold and silver jewelry, seafood delicacies, straw sandals, bamboo hats, and specialty snacks. It has everything, it can be said to be all-inclusive.

"Brother, let me have some soba noodles."

"Okay, please wait for a piece of soba noodles. Thank you for the moonlight."

"Hehe, thank you Oden."

The silver-haired girl covered her mouth and chuckled. She felt that there were dozens more eyes on her body. She was not angry. She nodded generously in all directions and lightly opened her red lips: "Happy New Year."

Gudong, Gudong. In the end, there was indeed a sound of swallowing saliva. The people in gorgeous clothes glanced at the men in coarse linen clothes nearby with disdain: Thank you Oden, they, the upper class people, have to walk in the same place as these lower class people. On the streets, it was a disgrace.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way"

"You vulgar people"

"How can you covet the beauty of the rich lady?"

The commotion occurred as expected. The silver-haired girl frowned slightly, casually dropped a few coins on the counter, and disappeared quietly. The samurai who was scolding the civilians were stunned when they came back to their senses. Wiping his eyes with confidence: Where are the people?

Flower Field Tavern, second floor.

"It's so satisfying"

"I didn't expect General Sukiyaki to agree to His Highness Oden's proposal."

"Yeah, it's been so lively these days. Miss Xiaoduo, please show me."

Crunch casually pulled the lustful skeleton's head open 180 degrees, and took away the hairpin holding up the hair, revealing the long silver hair and the cat ears hidden in it: "Really, why are there There are so many rules. What are the upper and lower classes? Damn it, please give me a jar of wine."

Kurokas and Kulik looked at each other. They both saw the smiles in each other's eyes, and they were stimulated by those self-righteous superiors.

"It's actually the same thing outside Wano."

After some consolation, Kulokas casually handed the wine jar to Crystal. She raised her hand, raised her head, and drank it down with a heroic gesture. A faint blush appeared on her face: "I know. But it’s different with my brother.”

"The Kingdom of Heaven is alien to this world, but I like it. It tastes like freedom."

Kulik picked up another jar of wine and drank it all, crunching, crunching

After finally turning his head around, Brooke became more serious: "That's why the changes insisted on by His Highness Oden are so valuable."

"Brooke is right, hasn't it changed a little now?"

Kurokas gently shook the glass a few times and drank it slowly: "Just like drinking, drinking too fast will make you drunk. Drink slowly so that your body can give timely feedback without getting dizzy. fall."

"Well, things related to national traditions cannot be changed overnight."

Nodding, Crystal slowly knelt down on the tatami, not forgetting to give Brooke a "stay away" warning look. What Kurokas was talking about now was the various crowds she just saw on the street. .

On the first day of the New Year, His Highness Oden made a suggestion to General Sukiyaki to abolish status differences during major festivals so that the "gentry" and the people can enjoy it together.

When talking about nobles, we have to talk about the clear "identity system" of Wano Country: generals, daimyo, nobles, commoners, and untouchables: This is completely different from the ID card used to confirm citizen information in the Kingdom of Heaven. If the lower level exceeds the upper level, you will be severely punished.

Now that His Highness Oden's proposal has been approved by the "general" who represents the highest authority, the people below naturally cannot resist openly but will not abide by it privately. Especially when the civilians do something that is not in line with the etiquette of their noble clan, conflicts will arise. It will inevitably happen.

"Thank you for the moonlight"

“Thank you Oden”

"cheers"

After each filled their glasses, several people shouted slogans that were widely circulated. The nobles did not bother to say this, and only those common people who loved Kozuki Oden from the bottom of their hearts were willing to say it.

After all, when he was young, he fought for the injustice of many common people in the Flower City. As a result, he offended many powerful people and even asked his father, General Sukiyaki, to ban him from exile. anger.

After putting down the wine glass, Kurokas looked through the window at the palace located at the highest point of the city and attached to a huge flower tree: "I hope His Highness Oden will not act recklessly at the banquet where nobles and royal families gather."

"That person must be measured"

As Kulik talked, he lost confidence. Kozuki Oden's character can be said to be extremely outstanding in the outside world, but it does not work well in the hierarchical Wano Country.

"Girl, with Mrs. Crested Ibis here, His Highness Oden will not mess around."

Crystal, who was amused by Kulik's appearance, mentioned the name of Kozuki Oden's wife, and then glanced at Brooke with a subtle look.

"Yo ho ho, yo ho ho"

Brooke could only respond with an awkward laugh, which made the three of them laugh. This was because when they first arrived in Wano Country, Brooke couldn't help but said those words to Kouzuki Crested Ibis that they couldn't change no matter what. : Can you let me see your "fat paper"?

The result was gratifying. Brooke, the skeleton, got an invitation to watch the "Women's Sumo Tournament". No one knows what happened at that time: anyway, since then, Brooke has unilaterally banned that sentence to Kozuki Crested Ibis. Every time he sees it, The other party was quite serious, like a true noble gentleman.

"Hehe, hehe, look, are those special fireworks? They are so beautiful."

Amidst the joyful laughter, Crystal was the first to discover that the golden line rising into the sky was so dazzling and beautiful even among the many fireworks rising into the sky, especially when it rose to the highest point, with When the bright moon "glows", it blooms into a golden cherry blossom pattern outlined by thousands of threads
