Am I being simulated by their love affair.

Chapter 191 Where the Reeds Bloom, The Coming-of-Age Promise
“Tempura Soba for Two~”

"Thank you." Jun Matsueda and Tomoka Tomatsu said in unison. The middle-aged woman smiled, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes swayed like a fish's tail.

"Please use it slowly~"

The two looked at the plates in front of them, which contained tempura, soba noodles, noodle soup and side dishes.

Jun Matsueda picked up a large shrimp tempura and bit off half of it in one bite, releasing the elasticity and sweetness of the shrimp meat. He then picked up a chopstick of soba noodles, rolled it in the light brown noodle sauce, and put it into his mouth.

Tomatsu Tomoka watched Matsueda Jun happily take the first bite before she started eating her own lunch. The girl lowered her head, slurping the noodles in small mouthfuls, and used her left hand to hold up her long hair that fell in front of her, with a virtuous posture.

This buckwheat shop is called "Rokaan" and is not far from the Setagaya Literary Museum. There are not many restaurants around it, so the two usually have lunch here.

Jun Matsueda took a sip of tea. This is the advantage of following Tomatsu Tomoka, you can always eat delicious food.

The yard at the entrance is a kyudo dojo. From the other side of the wall comes the faint sound of wind chimes and the sound of arrows hitting targets.

Tomatsu Tomoka wiped the oil off her lips with a tissue and took out lip balm from her bag. "Matsueda-san, did you know that Yamami-san participated in the Coming of Age Ceremony in Setagaya?"

"Now I know." Matsueda Jun drank the little remaining tea and looked at the swaying bamboo forest outside the dojo.

"Then why don't you go and see it together? We'll also be attending the Coming of Age Ceremony next year, right?"

"If it's in Setagaya, it won't be far to go and take a look." Jun Matsueda walked towards the door. He was definitely not curious about the senior's kimono outfit.

"Then let's go." The girl smiled and followed him.

The weather was fine today and the snow on the roadside began to melt. The address given by Yamami Moki was not far away, so the two decided to walk there.

Tomatsu Tomoka looked at the house numbers on the roadside: "Roka Nursery School", "Roka Hengchun Garden", and "Roka Danchi".

"The names of the buildings here are all related to reed flowers, but I can't see where the reed flowers are."

The girl was a little confused. There were only traces of cherry blossoms on the roadside. The dry branches were trembling in the winter, preparing to welcome the blooming of spring.

"Because of Roka Park, right?" Matsueda Jun looked at the message on his phone. "Isn't the station near the Literature Museum also called Roka Park Station?"

"But there are no reed flowers in Reed Flower Park."

“Hmm,” he said, opening his browser and starting to search. “Roka Park is the former residence of the literary giant Tokutomi Roka, which was donated to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government by his wife after his death.”

"That's it~"

After solving the mystery of the lack of catkins in Roka Park, we could see the roof of the hotel not far away. Setagaya's Coming of Age Ceremony was held there.

"By the way, you need an invitation to enter the coming-of-age ceremony, right?" Jun Matsueda realized this problem.

"Senior said she's almost done with it, so it's okay."

When they arrived downstairs at the hotel, they saw girls in gorgeous kimonos coming in and out of the door. Matsueda Jun and Tomatsu Tomoka were standing not far away waiting for Yamami Maki to appear.

The girl walked out of the door with the woman beside her. In a sea of ​​red, black, gold and pure white furisode kimonos, the elegant green on Yamami Matsuki's body reminded people of the ancient trees of Meiji Jingu Shrine, refreshing the heart.

Yamamiya Moki saw the young boys and girls standing outside the crowd, and waved to them, her long sleeves swaying. She smiled brightly, her eyebrows were gentle, and her neat teeth looked especially white in the sunlight.

She leaned over to the woman's ear and said a few words. The elegant woman looked over here, and then Yamamiya Mochi walked towards the two of them.

"Good afternoon, Tomoka and Matsueda~"

Neither of them said anything, just quietly admiring her beauty.

The girl's large furisode kimono has cuffs that go below her knees. The dark green background will make first-time viewers feel low-key, but the detailed gilded embroidery breaks this impression.

The golden hanging jasmine pattern extends from the shoulder to the cuffs. The long hem is extended with thousands of golden threads, dotted with white feather-like flower spikes. Those are the delicate pure white reed flowers swaying on the shore, and a few butterflies are flying on the swinging reed threads, adding a bit of gorgeousness.

Yamamiya Moki didn't need to speak, she just stood there quietly, with her head lowered, her brows lowered, and her eyelashes trembling slightly, and she was already more moving than the spring water in the painting.

"Senior's kimono is stunning," Tomatsu Tomoka said softly. "It's not only elegant and gorgeous, but also perfectly matches your temperament."

"Thank you." Yami Maki covered her mouth and laughed. "Oo Furusode doesn't get many opportunities to appear, except for coming-of-age ceremonies and weddings." The girl looked at Matsueda Jun, who smiled. "The demeanor of an adult is indeed different. Yami-senpai is an adult now."

"But you still can't drink~" Yamamiya Mochi smiled playfully. The girl felt a little disappointed when she didn't hear his comment on her gorgeous outfit.

Although she knew very well that Matsueda Jun's behavior was normal, he had listened to her request and been friends with her secretly so as not to let Tomatsu Tomoka find out.

That's the annoying thing about people who are too smart. Yamami Maki felt a little annoyed.

"Tomoka!" Someone in the crowd waved to them. Tomatsu Tomoka looked up with a surprised expression.

"My junior high school classmate seems to be over there. I'll go over and take a look." The girl walked towards the crowd with an apologetic look on her face.

There were only the two of them left, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Yamami Maki glared at Matsueda Jun.

"Didn't we agree that you would come later?"

"I work at the same place as Tomatsu-san, and she just happened to invite me over. Refusing would only make things more troublesome."

So, it was Senior Yamami who invited him first, and Jun Matsueda was really not that curious about the girl's kimono.

"Okay." In Yamami Moki's peripheral vision, her junior was still chatting with a girl in kimono in the crowd.

"Matsueda-san, don't you have anything to say?" the girl suddenly asked.

She released one hand holding the handbag, smoothed the hair behind her ear, and the golden petal hairpin in her hair swayed slightly.

Matsueda Jun was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Senior looks very beautiful today."

"How beautiful is it?" the girl asked relentlessly.

"Even if I were buried in the snow in Hokkaido, I wouldn't regret it."

"That won't do!" The girl frowned and criticized him, but her eyes were full of smiles. "How long have you been back from the Hokkaido earthquake? Don't say things like that."

"Yes Yes."

When Tomatsu Tomoka walked towards the two of them, the smile on her face disappeared again.

"It took a little longer." The girl returned to the two of them and smiled apologetically.

Since it was a girls' occasion, Jun Matsueda didn't plan to stay long. After the three of them chatted about adult-style topics for a while, he said goodbye.

Yamami Miki and Tomatsu Tomoka walked into a roadside dessert shop and continued their conversation as girls.

"Anyone who sees what you're wearing today will be tempted, right?" Tomatsu Tomoka cut off a piece of pudding.

"No~" Yamami Maki smiled and waved her hands, "Look, isn't Matsueda-san acting very normally?"

"That's because Matsueda-san is so special." The girl sighed, and the two fell into a brief silence.

"Senior sister, you are so mature. Can I talk to you about my troubles in love in the future?"

"Or give me some advice on how to conquer Matsueda-san~"

The girl swallowed the pudding in her mouth, placed her hands on her chest, and looked at her senior with eyes full of expectation.

Regardless of whether Yamami Maki has that intention or not, Tomatsu Tomoka intends to take precautions in advance. After all, her charm today is enough to make even girls fall in love with her.

"Is it really okay for you to come to me for advice on this kind of thing? After all, I don't have much experience." Yami Maki's eyes flickered.

"It's okay, I believe in you!"

"Well, alright then. I'll do my best to help."

When the promised words came out, the girl's heart ached inexplicably.
