Chapter 3 Chapter two

For the next two or three days, I was restless. (what the hell happened?) I don't know where the problem lies. That year coincided with the Tokyo Olympics, and it must have been Showa 39.That house is an old house with a history of 20 to 30 years. It should have been recorded on the map of Showa 38, but why can't it be found? (Is the memory messed up?) Maybe I'm in the wrong place.I recalled all the streets in my memory, and my eyes searched the map like conveyor belt sushi, but I couldn't find a house that matched my memory.Staring at the ant-sized characters on the map for so long, the visual system is a bit overloaded.However, I will not give up easily.I didn't go back to Morioka after graduating from high school, all because of that house.If I can't find it, I won't give up easily.

I poured a glass of whiskey, opened the map that I had read more than a dozen times, and searched along the road to school with my fingers starting from my grandmother's house.I'm sure the house is half way up the road, but every day the road is different.Shortcuts, detours, or the road passing by a friend's house, and occasionally crossing the highway to take a shortcut, that's the high school I went to for three years.Now I am afraid that I only remember the most traveled and shortest road, but I still searched desperately from memory. First of all, whether to go right or left after exiting the gate are two completely different paths.To the right, face the road past Maruto Confectionery, turn right there, then turn around the corner at Toei Corporation, then go to Cinema Road and then head towards Bailily Girls High School, there are countless options here.The same goes for going left, you can go to the end of Liuxin Street, there is also the road on the right side of Kawai Ballroom, and the road on the left that connects to the station and leads to Osawa Kawaramachi. Either way can reach the school, and at most Five or six minutes.

(No progress at all.) Even in a strange town, I still have an impression of the road I walked.What's more, I have lived in Morioka for more than ten years since I was a child, and I have walked almost all the roads there. (It's definitely there, but...) My gaze returned to the map on the page recording the Ueda area. I always thought it was here, but the map showed that it was an open space.If there is a blank space on the map, it may be an omission, but since it is clearly recorded as an open space like this, it should have been investigated and there is no mistake. I am irritable.It seems that you can only go and see for yourself.

No matter what result awaits me, it is an explanation for me.It was because there was no record on the map that I was motivated.Since the house is not in this atlas, it should not exist now. If so, I may accept it.Having said that, I was actually filled with dread. Closing his eyes, a bright crimson color spread in front of his eyes little by little.
