Chapter 118: 118: Winter Family Vacation (3) After a lot of convincing, Yue Xuexia decided to keep her clothes warmer rather than wear too much, which made her look like a fat bear. So, except for the thick fur and ear muffler, her black kimono with a white lycoris pattern did look bloated and instead enhanced her figure, especially her waist, which was tied with an obi. The Yue family, together with Su Rukia, Butler Sebastian, Tan Bingyu, Taiyang, and some hidden guards, finally drive down from the manor on Mt. Yoshino. At the largest shrine in Nara Prefecture... The road was crowded with cars and people wearing winter kimonos were walking on the street. There are also some who wear modern clothes as they venture to the location of the shrine to ask for blessings. When a limousine was seen stopping at the road and even a butler opened the car door, it caught everyone's attention. The people in the area couldn't help but halt their movements as they waited to see the people coming down such a luxurious car. After all, this night festival is just a simple festive event; they didn't expect wealthy people to attend it with commoners like them. There are some local residents who recognize Butler Sebastian. "Wa? Are wa Yoshinoyama no sakura sō no shitsuji Sebasuchan janai ka. Tsuini goshujinsama ga modotte kita no ka?" Translation: [Ha? Isn't that Butler Sebastian from Mt. Yoshino's Sakura Manor? Has his master finally returned?] "Ā! Hontōni kareda. Shishō no kazoku wa Chūgoku shusshin de, Etsu to iu seida to itte itade wanaka. Fuyuyasumi ni kita no ka?" Translation: [Oh! It is really him. Didn't he say that his master's family is from China and has the surname Yue? Are they here for winter vacation?] "Setsuzoku wa don'na kazokunai no darou ka. Hitotsu tashikana no wa, karera ga machigainaku yūfukuda to iu koto." Translation: [I wonder what kind of family the Yue is. One thing for sure is that they are definitely rich. "Detekuru yo! Yue ikkada!" Translation: [They are coming out! It's the Yue family!] One by one, the people inside the car came out. The first one to go out was Papa Yue, who smiled as he extended a hand to help his wife out of the car. The curious bystanders were a bit surprised to see a gentleman who loves his wife in such an open way. The melon-eaters couldn't help but comment at the scene. "Wa~a 〜 nante hansamuna ojisan to jōhin'na obasan'na nda." Translation: [Wow~ such a handsome uncle and elegant aunt.] "Kuruma kara oritekuru hito ga motto imasu. Kono fūfu no kodomo-tachi deshou ka?" Translation: [There are more people coming down from the car. Are they the children of this couple?] The ones who went down first after the married couple were Yue Ruxia and Su Rukia, who had longed to run out and enjoy the stalls at the festival. "Kono josei-tachi wa utsukushīdesu ne! Watashitachi to onajiyōni shukufuku o koi, matsuri o tanoshimu tame ni kite iru yōdesu." Translation: [These ladies are good-looking! Looks like they are here to ask for a blessing and enjoy the festival like us.] Seeing an adorable pair of beautiful young ladies with different temperament, the men in the crowd couldn't help but look more closely towards the pair. It's obvious that these young ladies are young adults who might have barely graduated from college, as they can feel youth all over them. Yue Ruxia, who was clinging to her little niece's arm, said, "Wow~ so many people. Ah! I saw a shooting game! Let's play that." "There is also a goldfish scooping game. Let's also try that one!" said Su Rukia. As the two were about to run out, someone grabbed the back collar of their kimono, preventing them from running off. The one who came out after them was Yue Jixia, who immediately restrained these two brats, who would definitely get lost within the crowd if no one was looking after them. The cool beauty, Yue Jixia, said, "Don't run off without your bodyguards. If you get lost, how will you get back home? Before playing, we ask for a blessing first, and then you can play all you want." "Yes," Yue Ruxia and Su Rukia responded together. They were all waiting for the last one in the car to come out, but after waiting for a while, no one was seen going down from the car, leaving the Yue family bewildered. They couldn't help but worry about the sickly one from their family. Though they already knew that she was healed, their memories of the past, where Yue Xuexia would suffer during seasonal changes, cannot be forgotten by them. Mama Yue looked into the car and asked worriedly, "Xue'er, are you alright? If you are not feeling well, we can go home." "No. I will go down now. Is it cold?" asked Yue Xuexia from inside the car. Papa Yue said, "It's not that cold. You can bring your hand warmer with you. Just give it to Yangyang if you want to do something." "Um~" Yue Xuexia finally got out of the car with Taiyang helping her. As expected, the one that caught the most attention was Yue Xuexia. She was wearing a black kimono that made her pale skin whiter, there is also a touch of red lingering on her nose which clearly shows she is weak with cold places. But for the sake of spending time with her family, she still joins them to ask for a blessing in this shrine and enjoy the night festival with them. Regardless of men and women, old or young, the moment they saw Yue Xuexia they couldn't help but stare at her longer. Her beauty is almost unparalleled, even if her beauty is different from the ones the people of this country are used to. They couldn't deny that she is indeed so beautiful leaving them all mesmerized. Reactions from the crowd: "Wa~a 〜 megami no yō ni utsukushīdesu ne!" Translation: [Wow~ she is so beautiful like a goddess!] "Kanojo wa moderudesu ka? Segatakaidesu ne. Kao mo chīsaidesu ne." Translation: [Is she a model? Look how tall she is! [Her face is also small.] "Nanto utsukushī kazoku deshou." Translation: [What a beautiful family.] Butler Sebastian finally popped up as soon as the last family member of the Yue Family had come out. He led them to the shrine, taught them how to ring the bell and followed the rest of the family. Yue Xuexia, who had exchanged enough money for this country's currency, put a thick bundle of Japanese yen into the donation box, which stunned the Shinto priest who was overlooking the shrine. The other guests, who are not far from the Yue family, were also shocked. The old butler explained to the Yue family the process of asking for a blessing. They followed him and threw some money into the donation box, ringing the bell and telling their wishes in their hearts. With the collective movement of the Yue family, a picturesque scene was captured by Tan Bingyu at the shrine. After bidding their farewell to the Shinto priest, they went down to the stalls and enjoyed the festival. What they didn't know was that as soon as they left, the donation box they had just used was pulled into the temple and replaced with a new empty one. It seems that the people in the shrine were afraid that there might be some thief who would pry open their donation box and take the donations inside, especially when the Yue family had just placed a huge amount inside the box. As soon as they left the shrine, the Yue family enjoyed themselves at the food stalls. In just a few walks around the area, the men in the group were holding a lot of food in their hands. Papa Yue wasn't even spared, as he was holding his wife's portion. As for his daughter's portion, their bodyguards had taken the job, while in Yue Xuexia's case, most of the food she couldn't finish had all ended up in Taiyang's stomach. Only these two didn't carry much with them. Except for the tissue box, Yue Xuexia, who started sneezing, actually needed it. Yue Xuexia and Yue Jixia were suddenly pulled over by the two youngest into a shooting game store in the area. The guns used pellets to shoot down the small target lineup in a row, and the corresponding rewards, like a human-sized teddy bear and all kinds of stuffed toys and prizes, were hanging around the stall. At first, the stall owner was in a dilemma, as he couldn't speak any other language except for Japanese. He didn't expect Yue Xuexia to speak Japanese fluently and converse with him. Yue Xuexia spoke, "Konbanwa, ojisan! Purei shite mo īdesu ka? 1-Raundo ikuradesu ka?" Translation: [Good evening, uncle! Can we play? How much per round?] The stall owner said, "Ojōsan, watashitachi no kotoba o hanaserun desu ne. Subarashīdesu ne! 1-Patsu 100-endesu. Jū 1-chō ni tsuki 6-patsu no dangan ga haitte imasu. Nan-patsu hitsuyōdesu ka?" Translation: [Young lady, you can speak our language. That's great! 100 yen per round. There are six pellets per gun. How many do you need?] Yue Xuexia turned around to look at her siblings and asked, "How many of you will play?" "Me. Me!" said Yue Ruxia while raising her hand. Su Rukia also raised her, but she was not as outgoing as the first. "I want to play too." "Let me try as well." Yue Jixia said. Tan Bingyu shook her head signifying she won't play as for Taiyang, he was gorging at the plate of newly cooked yakisoba in his hand. "I am not playing~ munches~ " said Taiyang. When Yue Xuexia turned her head back to the stall owner, she smiled and said, "Ojisan, jū o 4-chō kudasai!" Translation: [Uncle, please give us four guns!] The stall owner happily sent four guns to these ladies while Tan Bingyu paid for their consumption. Yue Ruxia and Su Rukia were the ones who tried it first. One holds the gun with both of her hands and closes one of her eyes. Ruxia wanted to try shooting down the small target with the largest point as she wanted to bring home the huge teddy bear at the rewards area. As for the other one, she is calmer than the first and didn't target those with big points. Su Rukia noticed that the target is smaller as the reward points are larger. She can only target the one with less points but bigger targets as she knows that the probability of shooting down the small target is almost impossible. Peng. Peng. Peng. The round of pellet bullets resounds in the area. When the two young ladies used up their bullets, the result was as expected. Yue Ruxia whose target is the small one failed to shoot it down but luckily shot down on mid target with less points. As for Su Rukia, she was able to shoot down two among the three targets she wanted to have and was delighted to get a satisfactory result. Yue Ruxia complained, "Ah~ I wanted that big teddy bear though. But this small string blessing bracelet is also pretty." "This is pretty enough." Su Rukia got an exquisite hairpin with blue stones. She immediately placed it on her hair and was delighted with what she got. Yue Jixia looked at her elder sister and said, "Jie, it's our turn." "Hm~ you can go first!" said Yue Xuexia. When it was the turn of the two gorgeous beauties, more and more customers were looking at the stall, making the stall owner happier. It seems that these ladies playing in his stall was enough as an advertisement to capture more customers for tonight. Yue Ruxia said, "Go! Do your best, my elder sisters!" "Don't jump around. Your clothes are getting messy!" said Su Rukia. Yue Jixia, like Yue Ruxia, targeted the small one with more points, but unlike the clumsy posture of the former, Jixia looked more professional and serious. The stall owner mumbled in his heart that this lady can definitely hit that small target. The first shot missed, but the second to sixth all target had fallen down. Yue Jixia almost got a perfect score and exchanged a cute stylus pen among the prizes and took a few more cute accessories that she had an eye on. But when it was Yue Xuexia's turn, she just stood at the store and lifted the gun nonchalantly. Everyone heard the sound of the gun being activated and six rounds of bullets were shot out. Then in their surprise all the small targets with big points were shot down but this lady leaving not only the audience but also the stall owner dumbfounded. The stall owner was shocked, "Ittai nanina nda! ? Hyōteki sura mi tenai no ni, dō yatte zenbu uchiotoseru nda? Kuso ~tsu! Sugoi!" Translation: [What the hell!? She wasn't even looking at the targets. How can she shoot it all down? Damn! This is amazing!] Yue Xuexia looked at her younger siblings and said, "Achoo~ okay, you guys can exchange my points with whatever you want. Just exchange one of those black fox masks for me. Sniff!" Yehey~ Her siblings happily pointed out the rewards they wanted with Tan Bingyu helping them as a translator, they finally got what they wanted. Before leaving under Yue Xuexia's order, Tan Bingyu paid the stall owner more in exchange for the ones her siblings got in exchange. This made the supposed to be dejected stall owner start grinning in happiness. The Yue family played all night and watched the gorgeous fireworks which was the last event of the festival. Then they returned home with all the things they won and brought back to their manor.
