The next day, Gui Jujiro came to the warm alley.
"Today is the Water Drawing Festival. Our mission today is to go to the market and the temple to buy holiday supplies!”
Gui Jujiro looked at the children and shouted.
"Understood!"
The children raised their hands and cheered. Then, they ran out of the welfare institute.
"Gui Jujiro, I'll leave the purchasing to you.”
The old principal looked at Gui Shijiro kindly with a hint of apology in her eyes, because she always had to trouble Gui Shijiro at this time.
"Leave it to me!"
Gui Jujiro nodded, then turned around and chased after the children.
.......
The group arrived at the market. Amid the laughter, Onishi Jujiro's hands were already filled with things.
These things were all used to pray for blessings tonight.
The Water Drawing Festival was a festival that had been passed down for thousands of years. The monks in the temple prayed to the Lord Buddha.
There would definitely be a lot of people at the temple in Okayama Prefecture tonight, so most of the people would choose to pray at home.
"Brother Ghost, you must come tonight!”
"Yes!"
" Tonight, I'm going to pray to the Lord Buddha. I hope that Brother Ghost will become the first in Yingben."
"Woo ~"
Before he could finish speaking, the little boy's mouth was covered by the other children.
A hint of doubt flashed in Gui Jujiro's eyes. However, the children dispersed in a hubbub, so he could only shake his head and continue to purchase.
After spending a few hours, they finally finished purchasing the items needed for the festival.
The group returned to the warm alley and put their things away.
"See you tonight, Brother Ghost!"
"Yes!"
Gui Jujiro nodded and disappeared at the end of the alley.
.......
After leaving the warm alley, Oni Jujiro did not go to Okayama's Okuni Junior High School. Instead, he went to the public tennis court alone.
He held the racket in his hand and kept hitting the tennis ball.
The tennis ball bounced at an extremely fast speed, even leaving an exaggerated afterimage.
"Ghost, the outside world is very exciting. That's where you should go."
As Gui Jujiro waved his racket, the words that Zong Shen said appeared in his mind again.
He quickly shook his head, trying to throw these words out of his mind.
However, these words were like a demonic voice that constantly circled his heart. No matter what, he could not stop it.
"Damn it!"
Gui Jujiro roared, and the strength of his swing increased, hitting the tennis ball heavily.
Thump!
The tennis ball shot out and hit the wall with a loud thud. The wall seemed to tremble.
"Huff ~"
Gui Jujiro panted, sweat dripping down his forehead.
After a full ten minutes, he finally calmed down and continued practicing tennis.
......
As night fell, the entire Okayama Prefecture was brightly lit.
Every household lit up their lanterns and gathered together to pray.
Gui Jujiro had arrived at the welfare home early in the morning. He and the children surrounded the lamp, lowered their heads, and closed their eyes.
As the old principal lit the incense, Miaomiao's smoke filled the air.
After praying for half an hour, everyone opened their eyes and smiled.
"Alright, everyone, give me your prayer letters!”
Gui Jujiro stood up and looked at the children.
The children immediately took out the prayer letters. These letters would be lit on the lamp at midnight, meaning that the letters would be sent to the Lord Buddha through the lamp, so that the Lord Buddha could fulfill his wishes.
Gui Jujiro collected the letters, and the children went back to their rooms to sleep.
In the courtyard, Gui Shijiro and the old principal were waiting by the lamp.
As the clock struck twelve, Gui Jujiro took out the children's letters and prepared to light them up.
"Gui Jujiro, aren't you going to see the children's wishes?”
The old principal spoke and looked kindly at Gui Shijiro.
"Hmm?"
Gui Jujiro was stunned. He looked at the letter in his hand, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and opened the letter.
However, when Gui Jujiro saw the contents of the letter, he froze on the spot.
"I hope Brother Ghost can become the number one tennis player!”
"Buddha, I hope Brother Ghost can win the championship!”
"Please let Brother Ghost win the championship in the National League!”
As the sincere words jumped on the paper, Gui Jujiro became completely silent. At the same time, a warmth surged in his heart.
"Are these brats trying to make me cry on purpose?”
The old principal seemed to have known about this long ago. She looked at Gui Shijiro kindly and said,""Go, Juiciro. The outside world belongs to you!”
"I believe this is your wish, and the children's wish!”
Upon hearing this, Gui Jujiro looked down at the letter in his hand and clenched his fists. The struggle and confusion in his eyes completely disappeared at this moment.
"I know!"
"Tell the children that I will definitely become the best tennis player in Japan!”
He was no longer confused. He wanted to leave Okayama Prefecture and head to the wider sky to see.
But before that, he had to verify one thing.
That was whether Zong Shen was qualified to be his follower, and whether Qing Xue was qualified to be the national champion!
