Chapter 49
Chapter 49 : Hope that Brother Gui will be the number one (new book for collection)
The next day, Oni Jujiro came to the warm alley.
“Today is Kap Shui Festival, our task today is to go to markets and temples to purchase festival supplies!”
Oni Jujiro looked at the children and shouted.
“clear!”
The children raised their hands and cheered, and then ran out of the orphanage.
“Oni Jujiro, I’m asking you for the purchase.”
The old dean looked at Oni Jujiro kindly, and a trace of apology flashed in his eyes, because he would trouble Oni Jujiro every time at this time.
“give it to me!”
Oni Jujiro nodded, then turned and chased the children.
…….
A group of people came to the market, and in the laughter, Oni Jujiro’s hands were already piled up with things.
These things are all used to pray for tonight.
The Kapsu Festival is a festival that has been passed down for thousands of years in Japan. The monks of the temple pray to the Lord Buddha.
There must be many people in the temples in Okayama Prefecture tonight, so most Japanese people will choose to pray at home.
“Brother Ghost, you must come tonight!”
“Um!”
“I want to pray to the Lord Buddha tonight, hoping that Brother Gui will become the number one in Japan…”
“Woo~”
Before this was finished, the little boy was covered by other children.
A trace of doubt flashed in Oni Jujiro’s eyes, but the children disappeared, so he could only shake his head and continue shopping.
It took several hours to finally purchase the necessary items for the festival.
A group of people returned to Nuanrongrong Alley and put their things away.
“See you that night, Brother Gui…”
“Um!”
Oni Jujiro nodded and disappeared at the end of the alley.
…….
After leaving the warm alley, Oni Jujiro did not go to Okayama Oku Junior High School, but came to the public network court alone.
He held a racquet in his hand and hit the tennis ball continuously.
The tennis ball ejected at an extreme speed, and even pulled out an afterimage exaggeratedly.
“Ghost, the outside world is wonderful, that’s where you should go…”
While racquet waved, Oni Jujiro’s mind resurfaced what Zongshen said.
He shook his head quickly, trying to throw this out of his mind.
However, these words continued to surround him like a magic sound, and they could not be stopped no matter what.
“hateful!”
Oni Jujiro roared, his swinging power increased in vain, and he hit the tennis hard.
Boom!
The tennis ball exploded and roared on the wall, and a dull hit sound sounded, and the wall seemed to tremble.
“Woo~”
Oni Juujiro panted, sweat dripping from his forehead.
It took a full ten minutes before he calmed down and continued to practice tennis.
……
As night fell, the entire Okayama Prefecture was brightly lit.
All households lit their lanterns and gathered together to pray.
Oni Jujiro came to the orphanage early, and surrounded the beacon with the children, lowered his head and closed his eyes tightly.
As the old dean lit the incense, Miaomiao’s smoke filled.
After praying for half an hour, people opened their eyes and smiled on their faces.
“Well, everyone give me the prayer letter!”
Oni Jujiro stood up and looked at the children.
The children immediately took out the prayer letters. These letters will be lit on the lantern at twelve o’clock in the evening, meaning that the letter will be sent to the Lord Buddha through the lantern so that the Lord Buddha will realize his wishes.
Oni Jujiro collected the letters, and the children returned to the room to prepare for sleep.
In the small courtyard, Oni Jujiro and the old principal waited by the light.
With the sound of twelve o’clock, Oni Jujiro took out the children’s letters and prepared to light the letters.
“Oni Jujiro, aren’t you going to see the children’s wishes?”
The old dean spoke and looked at Oni Jujiro kindly.
“Um?”
Oni Jujiro was taken aback, looked at the letter in his hand, nodded after hesitating for a while, and opened the letter.
But when Oni Jujiro saw the content of the letter, his whole body froze in place.
“I hope Brother Gui can become the number one tennis player!”
“To the Lord Buddha, I hope Brother Gui can win the championship!”
“Please let Brother Gui win the championship in the national competition!”
A line of sincere words jumped on the paper, Oni Jujiro fell silent, and at the same time a warm feeling emerged in his heart.
“Are these kids deliberately trying to make me cry?”
The old dean seemed to have known about this for a long time, she looked at Oni Jujiro kindly: “Go, Jujiro, the outside world belongs to you!”
“I believe this is your wish as well as the children’s wish!”
Hearing this, Oni Juujiro looked down at the letter in his hand, and finally clenched his fist, the struggle and confusion in his eyes completely dissipated at this moment.
“I see!”
“Tell the kids, I will definitely become Japan’s number one tennis player!”
He is no longer confused, and wants to go out of Okayama Prefecture to see the wider sky.
But before that, he has to verify one thing.
That is whether Zongshen is qualified to let him follow, whether Seigaku is qualified to win the national championship! *
