Kosaka’s body has been found and cremated locally, and the ashes will be brought to Tokyo by Uozu and Axin—on the day he saw this little report in the newspaper, Daisaku Tokiwa called Kosaka’s work unit, Deng Gao Publishing agency and asked Uozu the date and time they arrived at Shinjuku Station.
Although Tokiwa didn't know Kosaka before, but Kosaka was related to Uozu of his company, so he thought he should go to Shinjuku Station to meet him.Of course, Kosaka's family members and people from Deng Gao Publishing House will also go to greet him, but at least one person from Shinto-A Trading Company should come forward.
Tokiwa took on this task by himself.The train will arrive at Shinjuku Station at around 8:30.Wearing a western-style casual dress, he arrived at the Central Line platform twenty minutes before the train entered the station.
There was a group of people on the platform who apparently came to meet Kosaka's ashes, among them were two or three women, who might be female employees of Kosaka's work unit.A few minutes before the train entered the station, the number of people who came to greet them had increased to about 30 people.
When the train was about to pull into the station, Tokiwa unconsciously turned his gaze to the left, and at this moment, he spotted Minako Yatsushiro.She was dressed in a dark color, but not mourning, and stood alone from the crowd.When she came to the company last time, Tokiwa thought she was a beauty, and now, he still thinks she is a woman worth seeing.
Tokiwa approached Minako and greeted him, "Hi! I was negligent last time."
"Ouch!" Minazi raised her head and said in greeting, "I'm the one who disturbed you."
"Okay, the body is finally found."
"Really."
"It may not be appropriate for me to say 'good', but since I will find it sooner or later, it is better to find it sooner. Before I find it, I have to search again and again. Is there something that happened in Europe once? I forgot when it was, but someone went to find the body of the victim, but the body was not found, but the body of a wolf was found. It is said that it is quite rare for an animal corpse to appear in the snow, so it aroused discussion in the academic circle , Did he die in an accident or a sudden death?...Oh, the train is coming."
As soon as the train entered the station, the welcoming crowd became agitated, and Tokiwa and Minako followed suit.
After most of the passengers got out of the car, Yujin and Axin got out of the car.Uozu held the urn to his chest.
On the platform, passengers getting off the train were bustling and chaotic.Probably waiting for the platform to calm down, Uozu went to a corner of the platform.The people who came to greet him immediately surrounded him.
"Let's bow here first, I'm afraid they will get on the train as soon as they leave the ticket gate." Tokiwa urged Minako, and walked towards the crowd around the ashes. He pushed away two or three people and squeezed into it. In front, he first expressed his condolences to Yujin with his eyes, and then bowed respectfully towards the urn wrapped in white cloth that Yujin was holding.Then he approached Uozu.He asked with concern: "Is it very tired?"
"A little tired." Yujin replied frankly. "I'm going to work tomorrow."
"I'm afraid you still have a lot of trivial things to do. It doesn't matter if you are two or three days late."
At this time, Uojin found Minako and said, "Mr. Yatsushiro's wife is here too!"
"Mr. Yadai?"
"It's Yashiro Konosuke's wife."
"Is that the beauty?"
"yes."
"Hey, this... I didn't expect it, so it turns out that she is the wife of the eighth generation." Tokipan was a person who never showed his feelings lightly, but this time he completely lost his inner peace, and walked to the station where Lian was standing. Beside Minazi behind the crowd, urging her; "Go."
Minako gave a hesitant "Oh" at first, and then said, "That's all right, I'm already here to greet you." Minako's demeanor made Tokiwa feel strange.
After a while, the group of people who came to greet them, surrounded by Yujin and Ah Xin, walked across the platform to the stairs.
"I'll take my leave here." Tokipan said, Minazi also echoed: "I'm taking my leave too."
"Please forgive my carelessness, I heard that you are Mrs. Yatsushiro's wife, right?"
"Yes. I shouldn't have said hello to you."
The two nodded to each other again.
"Which way are you going?"
"I'll take the loop train to Shibuya."
"Then we ride on the same platform, but in opposite directions."
They walked down the stairs side by side and onto the tram stop.
"Oh, by the way, about the wolf you just mentioned..."
Minazi interrupted him and asked, "Is the climbing rope broken?"
"This? I haven't heard of it yet."
"The newspaper said that the climbing rope was well tied to the body."
"It's in the newspaper?"
"Nuan, it's the sports newspaper..."
"Oh!"
"In this way, isn't Mr. Uozu's situation worse?" Minako said worriedly.
"Is there any mention of a suicide note in the papers?"
"No"
Chang Pan thought that if no suicide note or anything similar to it was found, Uojin would indeed be in a disadvantaged position.Tokiwa said: "The results of the experiment have aroused strong repercussions in society, so..."
Minazi went on to say, "That's right, the person who entrusted my husband to do the experiment is not good."
"I'm the one who asked Mr. Yatsushiro to do the experiment." Tokiwa said, staring at Minako with wide eyes.
"Ah! Really?" Mina panicked.
"real."
"Why did you trust him?"
"Of course, I thought the experiment would be beneficial to Yujin, but I didn't expect the result to be the opposite. That really troubled me. Of course, I have no doubts about your husband's experiment."
"This... In any case, my husband's experiment brought great disaster to Uozu-san. It is my husband's fault.... Although it was commissioned by you, Tokiwa-san, it's fine if he doesn't accept it, but He's biased..."
"You are wrong to complain about him. Generally, I have never been rejected by others. Even if it is quite difficult, I will ask the other party to accept it."
"No, no matter how much you beg, as long as he doesn't accept it, it's fine. Isn't it, if you don't accept it, it won't be like this. My husband has a weird personality, but for some reason, he sometimes accepts inexplicable things."
Once she found out that Tokiwa was the client, Minako unknowingly pointed her finger at her husband Konnosuke.
Hearing Minako's words, Tokiwa was surprised.From Minako's work, he sensed a kind of emotion--a kind of presumptuous and disordered emotion that only a passionate lover will show when he protects the person he loves from being attacked by a rival in love.
"Hmm..." Tokipan couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and at the same time turned his eyes to look at this beautiful, but somewhat dissolute female leopard again.He thought while lighting a cigarette: It seems that he can trust his intuition, and it's not too bad.So he wanted to find a suitable sentence to put her in the army.
Just at this time, the tram that Minako was waiting for pulled into the station.
"Then see you some other day. Excuse me."
"Where is it! I'm sorry, please send my greetings to your husband."
"Thank you." Minako boarded the car among many passengers.
At this time, Chang Pan let out another long breath, and thought to himself: Even if it is just a word, I should find a way to get her into the army, but let her slip away.
When Tokiwa arrived at the company the next day, Uozu had also come to work early.He sat at his desk, flipping through the backlog of papers he had accumulated during his leave.
"Can you go to work right now?" Tokipan greeted Yujin, and then walked towards his desk.
Uozu stood up and walked over to Tokiwa and said, "I'm sorry, I've been on leave for several days." Then, he thanked Tokiwa for his welcome yesterday.
"Anyway, it's a good thing to have found Xiao Jun's body. Otherwise, you'll have to go up the mountain a few times until you find it... Let me ask you, have you found anything like a suicide note?"
"No. Not only did he not have a suicide note, but he also found a pocket diary that was written down to January 5th. The tent that was set up and then removed from the lakeside was also taken back, and nothing was found there. This shows that he did not have the slightest idea of suicide. .”
"Well……"
"And the climbing rope was tied on his body perfectly. Some people suspected that I was covering up because he didn't tie the climbing rope properly. Now this suspicion can be swept away."
"Well, that's good." Tokiwa went on to say, "It's good. Let's not talk about the fact that the climbing rope was actually tied to him. Since Kosaka didn't have the idea of suicide, the matter would be much simpler, but What will happen to you then?"
Yujin said nothing.So Tokiwa asked himself and answered, "You are now in a bad situation. From the perspective of a third party, either the climbing rope is broken due to its own weakness, or you cut it..."
"That's right, there must be one of the two!" Yujin said this sentence vigorously.
"However, Mr. Yatsushiro's experiment, although not carried out under ideal conditions, proved that the climbing rope will not break under the impact response."
"That kind of experiment..."
Tokipan said: "Don't talk about that and that, that experiment is quite trusted in society!"
"No, it's wrong!"
"Then... Since you said that, there may be mistakes. However, you can't produce solid evidence, and the society still believes in the test results."
"That's why it doesn't work."
"Just saying no is not the answer! Are you sure you can eliminate the doubts that may be added to you in the future?"
"I'm not sure. One way, I think, is to try again with the site reproduced correctly. But this time I couldn't go to the site because the snow was too deep. Couldn't get the corner model. I plan to visit again next month. In this way, experiments to reproduce field conditions can only be postponed."
"..."
"One more thing. This time, I brought back the section of climbing rope tied to Kosaka's body. I think maybe some scientific conclusion can be drawn from the fracture."
"Oh! You brought it back?"
Only at this moment, Tokiwa's eyes shone with light.He thought, maybe show it to Yatsushiro Kinnosuke and discover some new facts.
Tokiwa put aside the issue of climbing ropes for the time being, and looked for another topic: "From now on, you can settle down and work hard. Can you count everything as done now?"
"Yes." Uozu replied, but then added another ten days; "I have to go all the way, and I have to send the ashes to Sakata, Kosaka's hometown."
"when?"
"It hasn't been decided yet, probably in two or three days. Today, Kosaka's sister is coming to discuss with me."
"Well, I still have to go to Sakata, do I have to go?"
"I have to go. I want to hand over Kosaka's ashes to his mother with my own hands. This will make my heart feel better."
"Of course, I will feel better, but..."
Chang Pan thought: Enough is enough, now is the time to settle down and work, otherwise it will be difficult for me.You have to consider the impact on other employees.Even though it was a fatal incident, it couldn't be dragged down endlessly by it.Since New Year's Day, Yujin hasn't settled down to work hard.Just after New Year's Day, I left work for several days because of the accident, and then took a few days off to go to Sakata.This time, he did not go to work for more than ten days to search for the body.Judging by the tone of my speech just now, I plan to go to the mountain next month.And now he said he was going to Sakata.Tokiwa really wanted to yell at him: Be smart!
But Uozu didn't care about Tokiwa's thoughts, and said, "Manager! I have one more difficult thing to say..."
"What's the matter?" Chang Pan wondered if he was asking for money.
"There is still some money missing." Yujin really wanted this.
"Well……"
"I'm sorry, I want to borrow some more money from the company."
Unlike asking for leave, Tokiwa is straightforward about money. "Okay, money can be accommodated, but you have to take a night train to go to Sakata and come back by night train."
"Okay. I'll come by night train, as long as you can help me solve it..."
It seemed that he was very worried about the money, and when he agreed to give the money, his frown immediately eased.Seeing Yujin like this, Tokiwa couldn't be ruthless even if he wanted to.
Changpan immediately asked Huishi to bring 38,200 yuan and handed it over to Yujin, saying. "Take this. It's not loaned to you by the company, it's for you."
"For me?" Yujin was taken aback.
"you are welcome."
"Thank you. Is it a solitaire?"
"Fuck you! Who gave you the consolation money! For the time being, you are resigned. This is the severance pay. Your loan is all deducted, and this is what is left." Tokipan said.
Uozu heaved a sigh of relief when the cost of going to Sakata was finally settled.The money I raised before going up the mountain was almost used up, and I was short of travel expenses to send Kosaka's ashes to Sakata this time. Fortunately, with this severance payment, this problem was solved.The severance pay was less than expected, and thinking about it, it was all exhausted.I can't help but be moved, but it's a good thing to have this little money at this juncture.
After noon, Ah Xin came to visit.Yujin left the office and took the elevator down to the ground floor with Ah Xin who was waiting in the corridor.Then I went straight to the road, and suddenly the strong sunlight like summer shone on the road.
"Let's go to Ginza and have some tea."
"Doesn't time matter?"
"An hour is all right."
"That's OK"
They walked side by side toward the Tou intersection in Hibiya.
"Going to Sakata, when will we leave? I can do it anytime. However, I have to take the night train to the night train and back."
"..."
"I asked for too much leave, which hurt the manager's feelings to some extent. He's not good at being mean, but this time he asked me to go to the night train and come back by the night train..."
Yuzu laughed.He thought of Tokiwa's face when he said this just now, and thought it was funny.Yujin thought to himself: Well, I will really go to the night train and come back from the night train, and show him.If I did this, Tokiwa might say, "You idiot, I told you to take the night train to and from the night train, and you should at least stay overnight."
Ah Xin and Yu Jin walked side by side and said, "That's exactly why I came here."
At this time, Yujin felt that today's Ah Xin was different from yesterday, and seemed listless.
"Sakata, I want to go alone."
"Why? I'm going too. Do you mind what I just said?"
"No, but to send brother's ashes, I think it's fine to go alone."
"No. Your brother will be angry. He'll say I'm a dishonest guy. I should go, or else..."
Ah Xin stopped when she heard this. "I understand your feelings very well, and I hope you do the same. In this way, my brother will be very happy, but..." At this point, Ah Xin raised her head and looked into Yujin's eyes. "I said please don't be angry. Well, my mother wrote to say that some of my relatives are out of their wits."
"Not enlightened?"
"It seems that some people are prejudiced against you... My mother is worried about this. She is worried that you will hurt your heart by going away..."
All the shining things in Uozu's field of vision were eclipsed at this moment.
"That is to say, some people think that I cut the climbing rope out of fear of death, don't you?"
With an apologetic tone, Ah Xin said softly: "The letter didn't say so clearly..."
"Your mother wouldn't have such an idea."
"No." Ah Xin looked up at Yujin and shook her head vigorously in denial. "My mother wouldn't think that way. Even if the world turned upside down, she wouldn't think so. There are always some unreasonable people among the relatives in the country. Maybe these are the people who said that stupid thing to mother. .”
"So that's what happened." Yujin said it easily, but felt as if he had been hit by a sap in his heart, wishing he could suddenly squat down on the spot.He had never been hit so hard.After the last climbing rope impact reaction test, he also experienced great mental pain, but it was not as unbearable as this time.It has long been expected that people will have various speculations and opinions about themselves in this incident, but Uozu didn't mind too much in the past.Deep in his heart, he said to them sternly: "You can think whatever you like!"
But now I heard that in Kosaka's hometown, and among Kosaka's relatives, there is also such a view. This is nothing more than a sudden blow, like a blow to the sky.
"Please forgive me, I shouldn't have said these words, which made you so unhappy." Ah Xin probably saw that Yujin had been hit mentally, trembling, and didn't know what to do, so she hurriedly said this.
"Let's find a shop nearby first, and let's talk after a rest."
They walked to the Shiyu intersection in Hibiya, and when they turned there, the first thing they saw was a shop selling Western-style snacks on the ground floor and a coffee shop upstairs, and they walked in.
Yujin followed Ah Xin to the second floor.After the two sat down by the window, Yujin realized that he was too uncomfortable to hold on, and really wanted to lie down on the spot.He felt that sitting face to face with Ah Xin was very difficult.
"Mr. Uozu, I'd better invite you to go with me. Mom and I were wrong."
Yujin then said, "Okay, no problem." As he spoke, he shook his head two or three times as if doing gymnastics.Then he laughed at himself and said: "I'm such a worthless person!" Then he said: "However, I don't think I will go this time. If I want to go, I will go another day." At this time Yujin's face was pale.
Uozu decided not to go to Sakata, not because he was afraid of those people who had prejudice against him, but because he thought that when Xiaoban's soul returned to his mother in his hometown, there should be no lumps around him.If the ashes of Kosaka I brought with me created an atmosphere of ignorance among the people who greeted me, then I would feel sorry for Osaka Otohiko, and I would also feel sorry for Kosaka's mother.
After hearing Ah Xin's words, Yujin was very sad for a while, but he quickly got rid of this emotion.
"That's it, please send the ashes this time. I'll go later." Yujin's words made Ah Xin unbearable.
"You said to go another day, then, when will you go?"
"After a month or two, I will go to the grave."
"Really?"
"Really, I'm sorry for your brother if you let it go like this. I didn't go to escort the ashes, at least I have to go to the grave."
"Then, when the time comes, I'll go with you." Then she suddenly remembered and said, "My section chief is also unhappy. I've missed a lot of work these days. But when the time comes, I'll try my best Let's go together by all means. I will go to the night train and come back by night train." Then she seemed to be thinking about something, and stopped talking.After a while, he raised his head and said, "We can decide at that time, right?"
"Decided what?"
When Yujin asked, Ah Xin let out a short "Ouch", and then her face turned red, so red that it hurts people's hearts.And said, "Okay, okay."
I don't know what she is "good", but she speaks vaguely.It wasn't until this time that Yujin realized what Ah Xin wanted to say.It must have been the marriage question she herself had raised at the Deze Inn.
However, Yujin pretended not to understand, and said: "Okay, let's go."
Yujin originally planned to say goodbye to Ah Xin as soon as he left the store, but just as he was about to say goodbye, he suddenly remembered something that he should ask but didn't ask anything about.So he asked clearly about the date of escorting the ashes, and agreed to go to Ueno Station to see him off at that time.But I was still worried, and asked about the travel expenses and other matters, and I was relieved when I knew that there was no problem.
When I broke up with Ah Xin and was alone, the uncomfortable feeling that I had temporarily forgotten came to my heart again.Ah, nasty!Think of something else!Then, the figure of Yatsushiro Minako who was caught in the welcoming crowd at Shinjuku Station yesterday appeared in front of my eyes.
In the evening, when he was about to leave work, Uojin walked to the desk of Daisaku Tokiwa who was preparing to go home and said, "Are you free tonight?"
"It's nothing." Tokiwa replied and looked at Yujin, his eyes seemed to ask, "So what?"
"If you are free, I would like you to accompany me."
"Accompany you? Do you want to treat me?"
"yes."
"Don't get rich just after getting 26,000 yuan!"
"It's thirty-eight thousand two hundred dollars."
"Thirty thousand? That's a lot: but it will cost a lot to go to Sakata. Don't say it's inexhaustible."
"Sakata is not going."
"Why?" Tokiwa's wide eyes lit up.
"Among the relatives over there, some people seem to suspect that I cut the climbing rope. So I decided to avoid it and not escort the ashes. I still have to go, but I think it's better to go later."
Tokipan snorted, then slowly took out the Peace brand cigarettes, took out a net and put it in his mouth.Then he turned his face to Yujin, waiting for his next words.
"In this way, there will be more money, so I want to treat the manager to a meal."
"Well..." Tokipan thought for a while and said, "Okay! Let's accompany you."
"I won't go to a place that is too high-end." Uojin declared.
"I know, you can't even go to a decent place if you want to."
"Not necessarily today."
"Try to order as casually as possible. The consequences are dire." Tokipan said while putting on his jacket, tidying up the things scattered on the table, and then said. "I'll wait for you at the door!" He walked out first.Very impatient.
Yujin returned to his desk, tidied up in a hurry, and then said to Qing Shui who was sitting opposite: "I'm sorry, let's take a step first."
"Is the manager treating you?"
"No, I invited him."
"That's a rarity. He likes entertaining more than being."
Yujin ignored Shimizu's words and hurried out of the office.This was the first time that I had a drink with Tokiwa.However, Uozu knew that apart from putting himself in Tokiwa's babbling, there was nothing to support his spirit.
Uozu took Tokiwa to the Haman restaurant on Nishi Ginza Road.Although there was a room upstairs with Japanese mats, Tokiwa said, "Isn't this place pretty nice?"
So the two sat side by side on the counter seat.It was still early and there were no other customers.Tokiwa picked up the menu, which was written in white letters on a black wooden board.
"Salted fish roe, raw kelp, and salted pine fish intestines, it seems that these taste good, so I want it! Sashimi, I want sea bream. Crab is also good. Braised lobster probably tastes good too. There’s sweetfish, anyway, there won’t be many, so before there are any other customers, let’s order two of them first.”
From the counter came the young chef's question: "How about the lobster and crab?"
"Of course! There are also pine mushrooms. I'm afraid the pine mushrooms are not on the table these days. In the greenhouse? What is the taste of the pine mushrooms in the greenhouse? You might as well try it. I'm afraid only steamed casserole is okay, and the others are not good. Let's have another duck breast. No, let's have sea bream soup first."
"Manager!" Yujin called out.He thought, if he didn't stop here, a fraction of the severance pay would be gone.The dishes here are famous for their deliciousness, but the prices are also top-notch.Yujin comes here often, but at most they only order one or two dishes. Today I invite Toki, of course, with a special plan.However, it would be too much for him to order the dishes on the menu one by one like this.
"Do you drink beer or something else?"
"Anything is fine. Listen to you. I don't care whether it's beer or other alcohol. I only want one bottle."
"Then no beer."
The jug came over, and Yujin picked it up and poured wine for Tokipan.
"Don't pour me wine, let's all drink by ourselves. It's more comfortable like this."
"Okay." Yujin obeyed Tokipan's words, stopped pouring wine for him, and just filled his own glass. "Can I speak?"
"Speech?"
"Just to talk to you. Otherwise, maybe you would say: Just drink and don't talk to anyone." Yujin laughed as he said.
"You can talk! Not only that, I have such a temper, as long as I drink a drop of alcohol, I will become chatty."
"That must be very powerful, right?"
"What's great?"
"If you start talking..."
"It's not you who are nagging now. But I may nagging later, not to mention I have to persuade you a few words tonight." Chang Pan picked up the salted pine fish intestines in a small plate with chopsticks , just two or three bites to eat it up. "This tastes very good, let's have another one."
When three empty wine jugs were placed in front of Yujin, Tokipan hadn't finished the first jug, but the dishes were all gone.He probably particularly liked the salted pine fish sausage soaked in wine, and there were already three or four empty plates in front of him.
As Tokiwa himself said, he was more talkative than usual when the alcohol was gone.The only person who spoke to him was the fat shopkeeper in his work clothes at the counter.Although these two men of similar age met for the first time, they talked speculatively, talking and laughing, and their voices were so loud that several customers sitting near the counter often couldn't help turning their heads to look at them.Daisaku Tokiwa speaks in a somewhat defiant manner, but strangely, he doesn't give the audience an unpleasant feeling.
Since the boss's hometown is in a mountain village near Lake Towada in Aomori Prefecture, the topic of the two turned to Lake Towada.Tokiwa said that he had been there twice, but both times he fell asleep when the bus shook when he reached the Oirase Valley on the way, so he has almost no memory.When the boss heard this, he said: That's a pity. In terms of the beauty of the scenery, Lake Towa is not as good as Okurenase Valley.If you fall asleep there, you have not been to Lake Towada.So Tokipan said: "Not only Lake Towada, I will sleep in any place with a good view. Let me tell you! It would be a pity to stay awake in a place with a good view. Originally, we ordinary people are extremely poor when we sleep. I'm so angry, as if I'm exhausted after a day's work. Before I fall asleep, I think about work; when I wake up in the middle of the night, I either think about money or family disputes; and then I fall asleep like a wild animal. Okay, next time When you go to Oirase, whether you take a car or a bus, you fall asleep and watch. Sometimes the vibration of the car will wake you up, and there is a zelkova forest outside the car window, which is completely green. After a while, you are in a daze When I woke up next time, the car was driving under a huge horse chestnut tree. Its young leaves rustled the roof of the car. Looking into the distance, the white waves splashed by the deep river water. Then Asleep again."
Tokiwa stopped here.But as if thinking of something interesting, he asked the boss: "Do you like it?"
"I don't particularly like it, but because I'm studying, so..."
"Well, the next time you go to see a Noh play, you can watch it while you sleep. It's different from Okuhito. It's not funny, but it's also comfortable enough. You can enjoy it in a daze when there are ballads coming from a distance. Cough, rich enough!"
Uozu sipped his wine by himself and listened to Tokiwa playing smugly.He couldn't get through the night alone, and it just so happened that Tokiwa's rapping was able to pass his lonely time.
Uozu just needs to drink alone, there is no need to talk to Tokiwa.For some reason, as long as Chang Pan is by my side, I feel that I have a great spiritual support.
Tokiwa chattered with his boss, sometimes stopping.However, when he was silent, it was also when he stuffed vegetables into his mouth.
“This crab is delicious!”
"It's delicious." The boss responded.
"One more guest."
Even bystanders will feel that Tokiwa has had a good time eating.It seems that as soon as any food enters Tokipan's belly, it will turn into energy one by one.
However, when the two or three pairs of customers who came late left, and the boss left the counter due to business, Tokiwa took this opportunity to turn his face to Uozu and talk to him: "Hey! What's the matter? You're listless, Come out with some energy!"
"Where am I listless!"
"Don't lie! You're sad about what happened in Kosaka's hometown. You idiot! Let them think what they want. Yes, yes, you said you didn't mention the piece of climbing rope tied to the dead body. Come back, can you lend it to me tomorrow?"
"Is it okay the day after tomorrow?"
"The day after tomorrow is also fine."
"I took it to a friend named Yoshikawa. I haven't touched it. I'm afraid that if I touch it, it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings. It's troublesome enough."
"You've become so neurotic too. That's okay, you were too lacking in neuroticism, but now it's just right to be a little neurotic." Tokiwa said and laughed.Then he said, "Then, send it to me the day after tomorrow. I'll ask Mr. Yatsushiro to test it. Maybe he will have some new ideas because of it."
"Him! I don't think anything will happen."
"Don't be prejudiced! I say Yashiro Konnosuke is still a scholar."
"I know that. But I think he's mean to me."
"why?"
"For some reason, it always feels like this."
"That's because you don't like him."
"Nothing. Well, anyway, I'll go with you."
"You can't." Just as Yujin said to go, Tokiwa immediately stopped him. "You'd better not go to Yatsushiro's house. Don't go again!"
"Okay." Under the pressure of Tokipan's stern voice, Yujin couldn't help but respond.He really wanted to ask why "Don't go", but for some reason, he couldn't open his mouth.
"Okay, you just need to guarantee this." Then, Tokiwa turned to the counter and said, "Settle the score for me."
"I'll pay the bill."
Tokiwa put his hand into his pocket and said, "Okay, I'll pay."
