The next morning, Zong Gu slept until he woke up naturally, and it was only after eight o'clock.
He got up and washed up, because it was still early to leave, so he didn't ask the others to get up.
Just when I came to the restaurant in front, Kyoko and Asakiri were already sitting here.
"Good morning."
Ms. Hongo soon brought his breakfast.
"Please use it slowly."
"Thanks."
After a while, Akane Kirino and Hongko also got up.
Kyoko, who had finished eating first, woke up Yuedu.
After breakfast, several people returned to the room to pack their clothes and supplies. After half past nine o'clock, the group dragged their luggage and checked out at the hotel reception desk.
"Thank you for your care these two days..."
Ms. Imgo sent it outside the yard, "Be careful on the way, welcome to come again next time."
"OK."
Saying goodbye to the hostess of the hotel, Zong Gu and others came to the beach, waited for a while, and got on the tram that drove to the south of the island.
After two stops, they got off at Shimahara Port.
When I arrived at the ferry, Zonggu went to buy a boat ticket.
“Six boat tickets.”
"OK."
“Can you use a discount coupon?”
"Can."
Put the money and the discount coupon into the window, and soon Zong Gu got six tickets.
Although the sea area between Shimahara and Kumamoto is not very wide, it still takes half an hour to dock because you are riding on a ferry rather than a high-speed passenger ship.
Of course, it is much faster than the land transportation that has gone through a lot.
The boarding time was ten minutes before the departure time, and it was almost ten o'clock when they arrived at the ferry. After a while, there was a radio broadcast prompting them to board the ship.
When he got on the boat, Zonggu saw several cars driving into the stern from the dock.
When I arrived at the cabin, there were several types of seats inside. There were sofas and bar countertop seats with a very wide view and a few people sat down at will.
The windows on both sides faced the pier and the sea respectively. Zong Gu sat on the side facing the pier for a while, but he didn't see anyone else boarding the boat.
Until the ferry sounded the whistle, except for them, there were only three or four middle-aged people driving across the sea.
"There will be more people coming from Kumamoto... to go to Nagasaki."
"I see."
Akane Kirino disappeared for a while, and when she came back, she said that the convenience store on the boat was selling postcards, which could be covered with the ferry's navigation medal, and could also be sent for free.
"Is Zonggu coming?"
"Forget it, I have no friends to send postcards."
Akane Kirino thought for a while, "Teacher Noma? And the boy who often chats with you?"
“Um…”
Zong Gu still went there with her.
After buying two postcards, he wrote a few unnutritious words and then stamped them with a sailing medal.
But to send it out, the address of the recipient is also required.
He sent a message to ask Minami Noma and Fushimi. After obtaining the address, Soya threw the postcard into the mailbox on the ship.
Akane Kirino bought several postcards. After he submitted the letter, she was still writing.
"It's only half an hour's sailing time, don't wait for the boat to dock, you haven't finished writing yet."
"Ahhhh, don't urge me..."
"Are there so many people going to send?"
"Dad, mom, and some friends."
Zong Gu turned around again and noticed that a sign was set up outside the convenience store.
"Is it especially selling bread for feeding seagulls..."
"Uh-huh."
Akane Kirino looked up and said, "You can feed seagulls on the deck outside."
"Write yours."
"……snort."
Unlike the high-speed passenger ship he took yesterday, the huge and slow ferry can leave the cabin and go to the deck.
"Write quickly, let's go feed the seagulls together."
"OK!"
Akane Kirino was happy again.
It is said to be used to feed seagulls, but it is actually ordinary bread. Zong Gu bought a few pieces and went to ask the other four people.
After writing the postcard, Akane Kirino stamped the sailing commemorative medal one by one and threw it into the mailbox.
"Okay, let's go feed the seagulls!"
When you walk out of the cabin, you can see the seagulls flying on both sides of the ferry. Their bodies are white, and their wings are from gray to black. They are not afraid of people, and there are also many.
She gave the bread to several people, and when it was Kyoko's turn, she shook her head slightly.
"I'll just look at it."
When he arrived on the deck, Hongzi looked up at the seagull flying closer and closer, and shrank his head in fear.
"How do you want to feed it...will you stop?"
"Probably not."
Zong Gu tore off a small piece of bread and threw it up. Several seagulls hovering around immediately flew over with their wings and were caught by the fastest one.
Hongzi followed suit, but the force of throwing was insufficient. Before she could catch her, she fell on the deck.
Fortunately, the seagulls don’t care, and they don’t have a three-second principle, so they still rob them even if they fall to the ground.
"Hongzi, I will come to eat it if I feed the seagulls like this."
Akane Kirino on the side was more bold, and directly raised the torn bread with her hands and fed it to the seagull that flew past.
"Be careful of being pecked." Zong Gu reminded.
She smiled and said, "It's okay."
Only Hongzi listened to his reminder, and he still fed it by throwing and collecting it.
Chao Wuling just looked up and saw that the bread in his hand was still intact.
Akane Kirino soon finished feeding her bread and saw this and walked over.
Chao Wuling handed the bread directly over.
“…”
She was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Ling can try it too."
“Flying too fast.”
“Um…”
Akane Kirino looked up for a while, then tore off a small piece of bread from her hand and raised it.
Soon a seagull flew over and bit the bread.
And she suddenly opened her hand and grabbed the seagull.
“…”
The seagull was flapping and screaming, Zong Gu shook his head, and Hongzi looked at him in a daze.
"Hey."
Akane Kirino grabbed the seagull's wings and approached the Aokiri.
“…”
He looked at Wuling, then tore off a small piece of bread and delivered it to the captured seagull's mouth.
Although he lost his freedom for the time being, the seagull did not refuse the food he had delivered to his mouth, and he caught it with him with one mouth.
Both of them looked at each other and smiled a little.
"One more!"
"Um."
It was not until the whole piece of bread was fed that Akane Kirino let go of the seagull in her hand.
He looked up at Wuling, watching it as he watched it mingle into the many seagulls above his head, and could no longer tell the difference.
“It’s really interesting…”
Akane Kirino looked at Soya again, "Do you still have bread? Feed another piece of it."
"It's gone."
He shook his head and pointed outside the nail plate again, "There is no time to feed him."
Akane Kirino turned her head and looked at it, puffing her mouth with regret.
"Oh……"
Before we knew it, the ferry had already landed.
......
Disembarkation at Kumamoto Port, Soya and his party dragged their luggage and took the free shuttle bus from the port to Kumamoto Station.
With the boat ticket, the empty bus started directly after a few people sat down.
It was almost noon and they were going to have a temporary rest in Kumamoto City, and then go to Kagoshima after lunch.
Before that, Akane Kirino has one more thing to do.
"Is it too late?"
Zonggu looked at the girl sitting next to her, and she was staring at her phone, looking at something.
"The game started at 11:00 in the morning and couldn't catch up with the opening... But we should be able to meet again."
"Um."
What Kirino Akane wants to meet is the mascot of Kumamoto Prefecture, the sales director and happiness minister, that is, Kumamoto Kumamoto.
It just so happened that the mascot minister would come to his office in the morning and welcome tourists at Kumamoto Square for a performance.
The shuttle bus took a long journey and sent several people to Kumamoto Station.
Taking the tram on the market and to Mizudocho Station, Akane Kirino got off the bus quickly, left the station, crossed the road, and entered the shopping mall opposite.
Soya and his men dragged their suitcases to follow behind. When they caught up with her in the mall where Kumamoto elements were everywhere, the performance was over.
"Have you met the minister?"
“It’s right there.”
Zong Gu followed her fingers and a group of people gathered around a black bear wearing strawberry-patterned suspenders with two balls of blush on his face, and was interacting intimately.
"Can't Kirino go?"
"No...it's enough to take a look from a distance."
Akane Kirino looked over there, "If I get too close, I will not help but strip off the minister's doll suit and see what the people inside look like."
