Santri Famiglia's

Karuta di Osu

Fifty cards line up in front of each player. Twenty-five lined up in front of Anki arranged into three columns. Three centimetres away, another twenty-five near the opponent.

Those are the torifuda— cards that will be taken when the poem is read out. The card contains only the end of the poem. While the card contains a complete poem (yomifuda) is held by the reader of the poem. Ten minutes to memorize the position of the cards yourself and the opponent is more than enough for Anki. He also remembered all the poems well.

Both Anki and Mitsuki had quite mature preparations. They also practiced match training. Supposedly, there's nothing more to worry about. Nevertheless, Anki still felt groggy, her heart pounding wildly.

Several times he licked his lips, blinked his eyes, took a slow breath, hoping that nervousness would not mess with his memory.

The opening poem is also read.

Naniwazu ni

Pocket yes Kono hana

Fuyu gomorgi

Ima wo harube

Pocket ya kono hana

The Naniwa Bay

This flower is blooming

Fall asleep in winter

It's spring now

Again, this flower blooms

Sanubari listened carefully. The tone of the reader of the poem sounded funny in his ear. She was smiling and feeling amused. It is very different from the Indonesian poetry. In the past, he also had lessons reading poetry in SD and it was not like this.

Pairs of participants sit in a large enough area. However, Sanubari's attention was only on Anki. The next poem is read.

[Chihaya furu ..]

Sanubari. Only two words, but a card has been in Anki's hand. His movements are very agile. As quick as lightning, Anki takes a card from the opponent's area, and the jury confirms it's a card containing the correct advanced poem. Hence, the girl could move the cards in her own territory to the other party.

Tsuki mireba

Chiji ni mono koso

Kanashiker

When I see the moon

Even thousands of things

Feels sad

Poetry after poetry continues to be echoed. Anki managed to empty the cards in her own area without letting the other party obtain a single card. Same with Mitsuki. Both won hard. They advance to the next round. Again, the absolute victory is in the hands of both.

The two laughed and did a TOS as soon as the match ended. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the first match was over. The next round continued the day after tomorrow. Sanubari, Abrizar, Anki, and Mitsuki leave the race area.

"You're great! You can know the next line before the poem is read. Your movement is also super syus syus!" praise Sanubari while moving her hands like she is practicing silat.

Mitsuki smiled in response, "That's because every day we repeat the rote ahead of the race."

Anki chimed in, "It's just a regional game. It might not be this easy if we advance to the national level.

"Stay you're cool." Sanubari kept praising while running ahead. Then, look at them by pointing at the food stand. "Ah, wait a minute! Do you want that too?"

Anki slightly looked up, staring at Baner's name on the line. "Okonomiyaki again?

The break after half-time, Sanubari had already tried it. He even spent three portions on himself. He also bought takoyaki.

"I want to add. It's good." Sanubari took a peek, then looked here and there looking for a stand that he wanted to visit again. "I want that too, that, then that, hm ... it looks good ...."

Sanubari's greed made the group split into three to make time efficient. Anki with Abrizar queues for Taiyaki, as well as the nikuman. Mitsuki buys drinks and gyoza. While Sanubari itself switched from one stand to another stand to get uiro, koroke, and some other Japanese food.

Once all the food had been obtained, the four of them walked towards Osu Kanon. Mitsuki broke away for a moment. Sanubari admires the beauty of the temple.

"This is the temple seen from Eiji's sister's office at the time" Anki chirped next to Sanubari.

Instantly, Sanubari looked up. Turning around, he searched for the Onyoudan building.

"Ah, right." Movement ceased. He managed to find the building. Although it looks small, but Sanubari can recognize the nameplate located at the top of the towering building.

Moments later, Mitsuki arrives with someone. He sprinkled bird food. The pigeons are approaching. When enough had gathered, he had the three pose. With a single move, Mitsuki made the entire bird scatter into the air. Then, quickly catch up with the three.

Mitsuki's innards caught the right moment. Captured is the fourth figure with the background of dozens of pigeons that began to fly randomly. Mitsuki took her phone back and thanked her afterwards.

"Good, right?" Mitsuki shows it to Anki and Sanubari.

"Send this to me!" pinta Anki's.

"certain."

"I want to too!" Sanubari raised his left hand because the right one was busy holding a nikuman.

They also exchanged contact. Then, find a comfortable place to spend the food that has been purchased.

The twilight light shone a twinkle of curiosity on Sanubari's face. A pair of sparkling netra looked at the folded snack with egg and rice filling. Now he knows why the food in his hand is called Tamago sen. Tamagosen acronym from Tamago senbei which means egg cracker.

Sanubari mangosteen bit the crepes-like folds of crackers with the egg stuffing. He began to comment again when he switched to chewing gyoza, "What's the difference between siomai and gyoza."

"The season," replied Anki who had eaten the gyouza.

"That's right. Isn't this in your country called dumplings?" timpal Mitsuki's.

"I thought dumplings were chicken noodles without chicken. So, siomai can also be called dumplings?" sanubari's reply ended in a questionable tone.

Mitsuki nodded with a smile. "If you don't remember wrong, Indonesian siomai is the name for steamed dumplings. While the fried is better known as fried as part of the batagor."

"Well, Mitsuki knows a lot" said Sanubari salut. He as an Indonesian does not know at all.

"Have you ever been to Indonesia?" anki asked as she looked at Mitsuki.

Mitsuki. "I've tried it. Generally speaking, they are the same. In Japan itself to be steamed or fried, the name is still gyoza."

"Food alike. Different countries, different names and tastes," Sanubari responded.

"so. All these countries influence each other. Although he said the siomai was from China, but we can not trace the real beginning of the first time maker" said Mitsuki.

Japan has been heavily influenced by Chinese culture since the nation entered. Both aspects of clothing, buildings, habits, and other aspects both have similarities. However, Mitsuki always had her own opinion. He thought freely no matter who was influenced and influenced.

The conversation about food continued as supplies dwindled. Until dusk changed, then they moved. Deliberately they go home a little night to avoid overcrowding.

As expected, they could get a seat on the way home. Stopping at Fushimi station, some passengers disembark. There were no new passengers afterwards.

Staring at the door of the carriage that was not also closed, Sanubari said in surprise, "Old Tumben stopped it."

"There may be an accident on the next track" said Anki who is accustomed to this phenomenon.

Sometimes such events happen. Typically, train departures will be delayed until evacuation at the scene is complete. The announcement of an apology and notification of whether or not the journey will continue later

Surprisingly, five minutes passed, there was no confirmation of anything on the part of the mapping. The remaining passengers began to rumble about this tranquility. They wondered how bad the accident was. No one suspected that anything else was moving from the different carriages ready to greet them.

Something was moving closer. Pairs of shoes rang out loud, going in and out of the car after the car like it was in a hurry.
