Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen

After Daisaku Tokiwa left the office at noon, there was no one there. When he returned to the office, it was almost five o'clock and it was almost time to get off work. Tokiwa put the suit jacket in his hands on the back of his chair, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Everyone stop working." As usual, it was the heavy bass. At this time, there were a total of 20 people in the office's internal and external work.After hearing his resounding words, there was a moment of silence, and they all turned their faces to Tokiwa.Tokiwa glanced at everyone, then walked to his desk, and said in a solemn tone:

"Everyone may have seen it in the newspaper. Our good friend Uozu-kun died in D Asaya. Although it was published in the newspaper earlier, it was not announced for the time being because it was difficult to distinguish the authenticity. Yesterday morning, we hurriedly dispatched the The two Saekis rushed to the scene. Just now, they received a report from the two of them, confirming that Uozu-kun was indeed killed and the body was found. Please pay a moment of silence for Uozu-kun." After Tokiwa waited for everyone to stand up, he called out "Silent mourning!" Following his shout, everyone lowered their heads.After a while, after everyone sat down, Tokiwa spoke again: "If someone asks me if Uozu-kun is an excellent employee, I dare not immediately and unconditionally say that he is an excellent employee. At least for me , he is not an ideal subordinate. He said that he was going to take a vacation and travel, and asked me for summer vacation, but he went to climb the mountain. He went to climb the mountain without telling me. Is the mountain so important! Is the mountain more important than the company and me? If the mountain is so important, why not tell the truth! Isn’t it? That’s what’s wrong with him, he’s an immature kid, half-baked…” Tokipan continued to wipe his face and face with a towel as he spoke. The sweat on the neck, wiped and wiped.In fact, he had to wipe it because of the sweat on his face and neck.Probably too excited, he stopped in the middle of talking, but continued after a while: "Why—why didn't you just talk to me! I, when did I take the attitude of not letting others talk!" It became a shout.But he immediately changed his tone: "Forget it, forgive him. The dead should not be whipped. As a mountaineer, Uozu-kun is a good mountaineer, an excellent mountaineer. As a staff member of the New East Asia Trade, how can It cannot be said that he started well and ended well! But as a mountaineer, he completed the finishing work meticulously. He even recorded the circumstances of his death in detail and correctly until his deathbed. I’m afraid that neither you nor I can learn from it. Arrived."

Sweat was gushing from all his pores again. The setting sun shone into the office from the window, and just shone on Tokiwa's upper body from behind, and he was hot enough that way. "Why did Uozu Kyota-kun die? This, he wrote in his notebook. I just heard about it on the phone, and I can't report it to everyone accurately, so I can't convey it to you for the time being. I think , you can see it in a few days. Now I want to talk about another question that is slightly different. Why did Uozu-kun die? This is obvious. Because he was a brave mountaineer. The so-called brave mountaineer, To put it to the extreme, they are all doomed to die. That's what I think. Death is a matter of course. Because he has to stand up in the place with the highest death rate, so it is strange that he does not die. Even if there is no accident this time, Uozu-kun, As long as he maintains his current courage, he will surely die sooner or later. He uses technology and will as weapons to challenge the place full of death and the place where nature blocks people. This is indeed a great job for people to test their abilities. Since ancient times, human beings have conquered nature in this way. Science and culture have also progressed in this way. Human happiness is achieved in this way. In this sense, mountain climbing is a great thing. But this activity is often associated with death. Together. ——If Uozu Kyouta-kun is a real company employee, even if he goes up the mountain, he may not necessarily die. He can love mountains and take pleasure in climbing mountains, but he will not take risks. Unfortunately, although he relies on The wages given by New East Asia Trade are not employees of the company, but mountaineers. He does not go up the mountain for the love of mountains, nor for the joy of mountain climbing. He is to conquer the mountains, or to verify what he is. something to have, and go up the mountain as a mountaineer."

Speaking of this, he called a female staff member: "Hey, give me water!" Then, as if to catch his breath before the water was brought, he said sullenly: "I still have something to say." The words seemed to be right in front of Yujin, speaking to Yujin.Tokiwa finished drinking the glass of water brought by the female staff, wiped the sweat on his neck with a handkerchief, and continued: "Some people think that mountaineering is not a bet on life, but a modern sport, but I disagree. The essence of mountaineering is by no means a sport. It is not a sport for people to conquer the Himalayas. It’s a tragedy that happens when viewed as a sport. Isn’t it? All sports have rules. If mountaineering is to be regarded as a sport, then make me a mountaineering rule! If there is a rule, there will be fewer deaths. There are no rules for sports, which is not bad! There is another layer, all sports, there are professional and amateur. But mountain climbing is not. Amateurs have climbed the mountain once or twice, and they think they are full-time. What is it? A professional? That’s a mountaineer like Uozu Kyouta. But isn’t this professional Uozu also dead!”

After a long speech, or yelling, Tokiwa ended with "Bastard!" "Bastard!" This sentence gave more than twenty staff members an extremely unusual feeling.It seems that I was called "Bastard!" and it seems not. No wonder the staff couldn't figure it out.Even Tokiwa himself, who said this sentence, didn't know why he ended his speech with this sentence.Is it aimed at Uozu who could have lost his life on the mountain instead, or is it aimed at himself and his own feelings who have been hit by indescribable pain because of Uozu's death--this is unclear.All that was clear was that he was too emotionally assaulted to refrain from uttering such insults.

After finishing his speech, Tokiwa stood motionless, with his mouth tightly shut, his eyes widened, and he stared at a certain point in the space slightly higher than his own eyes.Sweat was still pouring out of the burly man's face, neck, and thick arms protruding from rolled-up shirtsleeves. There was nothing more to say, and a sense of emptiness suddenly flooded Tokiwa's heart.what!It would be great if Uozu was here.If Yujin was still alive here, he would definitely refute what he just said in that unique and persistent way—"It makes sense, but, manager!" Uozu might say this: "There are still rules for mountaineering. At first glance, it seems that there are no rules, but in fact, they do exist."

Then, in order to refute me, Uozu would probably turn his usual confident gaze on me without haste.Damn! "Bastard!" Tokipan repeated this sentence in his heart.At the same time, he thought: Uozu Kyouta's eyes are so beautiful!He returned to his desk with this thought. Then, he put two or three newly published books into the drawer, picked up the suit jacket from the chair, held it in his left hand, proudly raised his chest, and walked out of the deserted office.Without Yujin's office, in Tokipan's eyes, it is really as barren as a desert. The evening sun shines on the street.Chang Pan thought: Where should I go?Feel like there is nowhere to go.His mouth felt dry.

Tokiwa Daisaku subconsciously took the tram from Yurakucho, and walked towards the Hibiya crossroad on the crowded streets in the evening. He had never walked with such an empty heart after get off work.This is probably the feeling of a father who lost his son.Now, in order to go home, I am walking towards the tram stop——this is no problem.But I feel that I have nowhere to go—what kind of mood is this? Crossing the fork in Hibiya, turning at the N building, Tokiwa was taken aback when he came to the door of the N building.Because I saw the slender Yatsushiro Ginnosuke in white linen clothes standing by the side of the road, as if waiting for the car.

Tokiwa walked over quickly and called out from behind: "Mr. Yatsushiro." Konnosuke immediately turned around, responded with an "Oh!" and made a smiling face, but immediately changed to a serious expression and said, "Oh, something serious happened, I read the newspaper - is that true? " "Just now I got in touch with the person sent to the scene, saying that Uojin is indeed dead." "Hey." Kinnosuke's eyelids darkened. At this moment, a new-style limousine drove over, it was a car from Eight Generations Company. "Go back to the company?"

"No, I was just going home—and you?" "Well, I want to go home too, but because of Yujin-kun's business, I'm bored, and I'm walking to relieve my boredom." Tokiwa continued, "If it's convenient for you, can we find a place to talk?" "Okay." After answering, Kinnosuke thought for a while, and then said to the driver who had opened the door and waited: "You go back. I'll go home and take a taxi." After finishing speaking, Yashiro Kinnosuke and Tokiwa walked side by side . "Do you want a beer?" Tokipan asked while thinking, not knowing where to take this seemingly luxurious gentleman.

"OK." "Have you ever been to a beer hall?" "No. However, I can accompany you." "That's where common people go, it's very noisy." "It doesn't matter. It's a good place like that." Konnosuke said so, and Tokiwa thought so too.For some reason, Tokiwa didn't want to go to a place with an elegant and quiet atmosphere today, but wanted to place himself in a noisy environment and talk to Yashiro Konnosuke there. Tokiwa himself hadn't been to a beer hall in recent years, so he didn't remember where there was such a place, but he vaguely remembered that there was one near Youleding Station, so he walked there. The beer hall was found.In front of the store, Tokiwa solemnly asked Gyonosuke: "This is it. Is it okay?" "Row." The two of them walked into the shop and sat down in the empty seats in the middle.The shop is quite spacious with a dozen tables.All the tables were taken by young guys in shirts.Several waitresses, deftly holding several beer glasses, moved nimbly from table to table.The sound of clinking glasses, loud and unscrupulous conversations, and the sound of cars in front of the door—the whole store was full of noisy voices. Tokiwa and Konnosuke sat facing each other, each raising their beer glasses to their mouths, neither of them spoke. "A fine young man, what a pity. When he died, I felt suddenly desolate." After Tokiwa said it frankly, he felt that the best person to talk to was Yatsushiro Kinnosuke when it came to talking about Uozu.Because of the issue of the climbing rope, Kinnosuke had contact with Uozu. Although this contact was not necessarily pleasant for Uozu, for some reason, today when he received the definite news of Uozu's death, he had a relationship with such a person. Sitting face to face with eccentric characters is ideal for myself.Come to think of it, Konnosuke was a tough opponent for Uozu.For this reason, Uozu was hit hard.Even so, I still hold such a mood, what is the reason for this? "Actually, Uozu-kun died, and I'm also very sad. I only met Uozu-kun twice. The first time was in the hotel lobby of the guild hall, the day you introduced me to each other. The second time was the climbing rope experiment Later, probably on the second day, he came to our company to comment on the test results. These are the two times. Although I only met twice, I like the young man Uozu-kun. I can't compromise with the person I like. This is my shortcoming. If we meet for the third time, maybe the two of us will get back together. In fact, I thought about meeting Uozu-kun a while ago On the one hand. It would be nice if we could meet earlier, but I am so entangled in work that I don’t have time. I didn’t expect this to happen.” "That's a pity. It would be nice to see him." "My wife seems to like him quite a bit, so it's no wonder she." Tokiwa didn't know whether he should follow suit, so he just let out a "hoo" and drank about one-third of the remaining beer in the glass. Tokiwa thought to himself that Minako was mentioned in Konnosuke's conversation, in this case, it's better to change the topic. "The climbing rope test you mentioned just now, I asked you to do it. It seems that it was a failure, and I shouldn't ask you." "Yes. For me, for Yuzu-kun, that shouldn't be done. I said it just now. I wanted to meet Uozu-kun once. I wanted to talk to him about the experiment. I Now that I'm on the engineer's side, I can't deny myself the conclusions of the tests I've done. That test came up with that result, and it's judged that nylon ropes are more impact-resistant than hemp ropes—that's all I can say. But , the important point is that the test was not a test to investigate the cause of the incident, but a test of the performance of the climbing rope. However, people directly linked the results of the performance test with the incident. This is because the way the news is reported is not accurate, Uozu Your understanding was also wrong. Also, what I said was also flawed. On the second day of the experiment, Uozu-kun said that there was an error in the experiment and completely denied it. To be honest, I was angry at the time. I also Having said that, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the experiment. In fact, I should have thought of a way to correct Uozu-kun's views on the experiment, but I didn't do it, and I was unhappy and upset." "Hey, that's how it is." "Since then, Uojin hasn't said a single word on the issue of climbing ropes, so my dislike for Uojin-kun has gradually faded. He's young, but he's very self-restraining. Logically, he's a young man with a flair. You can't do that." Konnosuke paused when he said this, took a sip of beer to moisten his throat.Then thoughtfully cast his eyes through the glass window to the outside.After a while, he continued, "Since I did that experiment, I have also studied climbing ropes. Now the ropes used for mountaineering are called Seil. This is probably the word used by the athletes of the former high school mountain club." Well, because this is German. English is called climbingrope. Before talking about climbingrope, I want to talk about the general knowledge of climbing ropes. Originally, as far as I know, the quality of climbing ropes will gradually decrease during use. Just as everything has a lifespan, the climbing rope also has its lifespan. The length of the lifespan of the climbing rope, that is, the length of its service life, depends on three factors. One is the shape and thickness of the material in contact with the climbing rope, The second is the size of the load, and the third is the operation method of the climbing rope-it is these three factors that determine the life of the climbing rope." Tokipan finished his glass of beer and ordered another. "The shape and thickness of the material in contact with the climbing rope; the size of the load; the operation method of the climbing rope-these three determine the life of the climbing rope. Let's talk about the last of these three first-about the operation method of the climbing rope Question. Whether it is a steel rope, a manila rope or a synthetic fiber rope, no matter what kind of climbing rope, it must not be snatched during operation. Also, it must not be impacted. According to the climbing rope It can only be stretched slowly. Secondly, the bending radius cannot be too small. The data is too specific, so I won’t talk about it. In short, it has something to do with the bending radius. If you use too small a radius to bend, It will damage the climbing rope. The above three points should be avoided in operation. However, when using climb in grope, all the above-mentioned conditions that the climbing rope should avoid in essence will all happen to it.” "That makes sense." Tokiwa echoed. "At the end of the day, the climbinsrope is, by its very nature, destined to be imposed on methods of operation which must be avoided. So, I think the techniques required to counteract the disadvantages imposed on it are decisive Significant. For example, when untying the climbing rope, you should consider how to prevent it from twisting; when bending, you should wear steel rings to prevent the bending radius from being too small, and you should add cushions when touching rocks, etc.——Look, do you have these problems? ?” "It makes sense, but it's really troublesome." "So, how does the nylon rope that has the problem compare with the hemp rope? In my opinion, nylon is nylon, and hemp is hemp. It will not reduce the strength like hemp. High humidity and high temperature, below about 15 degrees Celsius, it probably doesn’t matter. The disadvantage is that the melting point is lower than that of hemp. That is to say, when the climbing rope encounters impact, it is easy to melt and break. Also, Afraid of ultraviolet rays, exposure to ultraviolet light will reduce the strength. In addition, it is not resistant to simple shearing force." "Ho." "Its strengths and weaknesses, in a nutshell, are like this. Someone recently published two research papers comparing nylon rope and hemp rope in terms of mechanics. Its main points, in a nutshell, are what I just said." "So, comparing nylon and hemp, which one is suitable for making climbing ropes?" "Well, I don't know." "But... I still want to talk about the incident last time. Can a mountaineer like Kosaka-kun die more meaningfully? For example, why did the climbing rope break..." Tokiwa couldn't help raising his voice, but Immediately he calmed down and said, "It wasn't Yujin-kun who cut it off. Have you figured this out yet?" "That's clear. I have heard in detail from the engineer who tested the fracture of the climbing rope brought back by Uozu-kun. It is said that the inspection of the fracture of the nylon fiber clearly proved that it was broken by an impact. Kyonosuke added: "It is clear that neither Uozu-kun nor Kosaka-kun cut it, but the climbing rope was broken by the impact." "Climbing ropes are broken due to impact—but climbing ropes are what mountaineers rely on to save their lives. How can they be broken casually!" "That's right—that's the problem. Why did it break? Indeed, in this incident, that is to say, in the fact that the rope was broken, there is a question that mountaineers who directly use the climbing rope want to know the most. However, for me, as I said just now, I can only speak on the comparison of the properties of hemp and nylon. Strictly speaking, the situation at the scene where the incident occurred cannot be reproduced. In this sense, the incident It is difficult to trace the cause of the incident itself." "That's true." "I think the death of a victim like Kosaka-kun is very meaningful based on the fact that this incident raises a question. As for how the climbing rope broke in that incident, to put it a little further, it is necessary to It is studied from a purely scientific point of view. It is a fact that the nylon climbing rope broke on a certain day in January 1956 on the eastern slope of Qianwen Gao Mountain. Since that incident, there have been various From various angles, people have commented on whether nylon climbing ropes can be used in mountaineering books and periodicals or in mountain club reports. I also collected these publications a few days ago. After a while. Several mountaineering groups have emphasized that nylon climbing ropes have a weakness, fearing sharp rock angles. Foreign mountaineering has also issued the same warning. In this regard, some people say that as long as there is a technology to make up for this shortcoming, nylon mountaineering The rope is still usable. Someone cited the example of a Himalayan mountaineering team carrying a nylon climbing rope, and said that this may be because they took a fancy to the nylon climbing rope for its lightness and good low-temperature performance, so they took it to the Himalayas. In short, This guy is a proponent of nylon climbing ropes. There is also a technical worker who expresses this opinion: before the invention of higher performance synthetic fibers, nylon and polyester will be used for about ten years." "..." "All in all, the trouble is that, as I said just now, the climbingrope, due to its nature, is entangled with its performance and operating technology, and cannot be separated, so we can only look at the problem as a whole In any case, in order to make this incident a reference, scholars, mountaineers, and manufacturers should be brought together, and let them start from their own standpoints to jointly study this kind of nylon climbing rope as a climbing rope. I originally wanted to use Uozu-kun I think he is the most suitable person. Because he is a person involved in the incident, and he is an active mountaineer, and more importantly, he is a young man who sacrificed his life to love the mountain.” "Yes, really, he risked his life to climb the mountain..." A burst of excitement rushed into Tokiwa's heart.Hearing what Konnosuke said, he couldn't continue talking.A low whimper sounded from his throat, like the howl of a beast. The people around looked at him together. A week after the news of Uozu's death was reported in the newspaper, the weekly magazine published by R Newspaper published a two-page article titled "The Ending of the Climbing Rope Incident".The article wrote: "In January of this year, a climbing rope broke and mountaineer Otohiko Kosaka fell on the eastern slope of former Hotaka Mountain. This incident has aroused the attention of the society, and discussions have been launched around it: Is the climbing rope due to itself? or because of other reasons? Unexpectedly, before the conclusion of this discussion was reached, Uozu Kyota, the character in the vortex, was killed and died in Hodaka Mountain D Asaya. Due to the difficult situation of Uozu in the incident, in addition, This incident happened only half a year after the previous incident, so among some people, there are various views on the death of Uojin. For this reason, the reporter visited Uojin’s former friends and listened to their views on the incident.” After this preface, which takes up a whole page.It contains brief conversations between mountain climbers and friends of Uozu. A: There is no definite evidence to prove that Yujin's death was suicide, but I always think he committed suicide.He must have been miserable amid the vortex of unresolved events and the skeptical eye cast upon him by society. B: It is strange that a person like Uozu would die from falling rocks in D Asaya. It is not known if he committed suicide, but I have to doubt that it is a suicidal act. C: Uozu-kun's deathbed notes are good.There is no doubt that he died of accident.The only question is, why did he climb the male and female taki?And why do you have to take the risk to go to the D shallow valley where rocks often fall? In addition, two other people talked about Uozu's death, and their opinions were generally the same. Yatsushiro Minako read this article in the living room of her home in Denenchofu.After dinner, she stumbled across the article while opening a weekly magazine delivered by a nearby bookstore.She sat at the table and calmly read the full text. Minako recalled the last time she met Uozu.Yujin said: I will never call you again, nor will I meet you again.It is not impossible for his words to be regarded as having some meaning. But now Minako doesn't care much about whether Uozu died by suicide.Her problem is that Yujin is no longer alive.Several times a day, she thought about the fact that Uozu was no longer alive.There was a small pain in my heart, but it could not go away for a long time.This week, Minako has been struggling with this kind of inner pain. When Minako sat with the weekly magazine on her lap, with the absent-minded and empty look that hadn't left her for a week, Konosuke came down from upstairs, stood at the door of the room and said, "I forgot to tell you, today I often Mr. Pan called and said that Uozu-kun’s ashes will be sent to his hometown Hamamatsu by express train at two o’clock tomorrow. Can you see me off for me?” Konosuke would not fail to see how Uozu’s death would affect his wife The blow, but he showed no concern. "Okay, I'll go." Minazi had other thoughts of her own, and didn't care to pay attention to her husband's inner activities.She is so tired. The words "Yujin's ashes" once again hurt Minako's heart. After saying that, Kyonosuke walked back to the second floor, but returned after taking a few steps.Still with the same expression as before, he said: "I will go to the hotel in Shiga Kogen for about five days in early August. I have a backlog of important work, so I have to sort it out." When she heard "Shiga Kogen", Minako raised her face as if taken aback.After a while, she asked, "Can I go together?" Visited Shiga Kogen last year with my husband.She thought of the bright sunshine there and the pleasant cool breeze in early autumn.She longed to be in it. "Of course you can. But I'm going to work." "I won't bother you. How about renting another studio as a studio?" "Hmm." He thought: Since she is going this way, there is nothing she can do.I had no choice but to say: "Then you should think ahead and find a housekeeper. It's not safe for Guang Chunzhi to be alone." Kyonosuke left after speaking.Minazi thought: Isn't the conversation between the two just now the same as the conversation at this time last year? The plan of Jiaozhisuke is that it is best to go alone, so that no one will disturb him, so that he can live with a few foreign books. Although the wife has seen through her husband's mind, this year she also wants to follow like last year. Last year, she was angry that her husband was always trying to get rid of her.For such a husband, I was somewhat nostalgic at that time, but this year is different.She thought: Just as her husband Konosuke has lost his youth, the wife herself has completely lost her youth now.The husband is due to age; and I am due to Yujin's death.The youth in my heart is gone forever. Originally, with a young man like Yujin, she might start a new life as a woman.For this, she even felt that she could sacrifice everything.However, this was only a moment, and Yujin's death changed everything.There is no longer any hope. The next afternoon, Minako came to Tokyo Station to send Uozu's ashes to her hometown.The train had already entered the platform, and a person who looked like a close relative was standing by the window holding Yujin's ashes in the carriage.When Xin personally brought Uozu's ashes back to Tokyo, Minako hadn't arrived at the station to greet her, so this was the first time she met Uozu's ashes. There are more than thirty people around.Minazi ignored them, walked to the window, bowed politely towards the urn, and then backed away.She had nothing to say to Yujin.This week, she has been talking non-stop with Yujin, and she has nothing more to say. During the long period of time before the drive, Minazi stood behind the passers-by with her head down and waited in an uneasy and sad mood.After the driving bell rang, she didn't raise her gaze, but lowered her bowed head even lower. When the train disappeared from the platform and the seeing-off crowd moved around, Minako raised her face.The train was gone, and so was Uojin's urn, and there were white pieces of paper fluttering on the platform opposite, probably because of the wind. Suddenly, Minako noticed that Tokiwa was talking to two or three people two meters away.He was wearing a tuxedo, and he looked hot in that way.Minako walked towards him naturally. "In the final analysis, it's a question of whether you believe in people or not. I only believe that Uozu-kun is not the kind of person who wants to commit suicide. You said that you have been friends with Uozu-kun since you were students. But I don't think you are. I know Uozu-kun. It can only be said that you don’t know anything about Uozu-kun. That’s why you have this kind of thought, wondering if he committed suicide. You know, he is a mountaineer! He exercised himself in the mountains A young man with a strong will. Kosaka said that once: Kosaka did not commit suicide, but a mountaineer committed suicide. It’s okay. Uozu-kun himself, who said such a thing, could not commit suicide.” The young men on the other side were overwhelmed by Tokiwa's aura, and none of them dared to say a word, showing a very panic and embarrassment. "Hey, I was rash. I just share my opinion for your reference." Tokiwa said and left there.When he found that Minazi was by his side, he took the initiative to lean over and asked without saying hello, "Where's Ah Xin?" So I looked for Ah Xin.Minako also looked around. Ah Xin stood alone about ten meters away.She has a chic posture, still standing and casting her gaze in the direction where the train disappeared.Minazi looked at her figure and felt that it was shining coldly like a sharp knife. In fact, when Ah Xin turned her face away, she was quite cheerful.Minazi looked at Ah Xin who was coming, and was surprised. Suddenly, she had become like an adult.The expression is so serene and calm, I can hardly believe that she is the same Ah Xin. After the two of them exchanged greetings, Tokipan said to Ah Xin: "How are you, are you tired? But, it's finally over. You have taken care of everything, Yujin-kun must be very happy." "Mr. Uzu cooked for my brother when he died, and this time I should have done it... But the apartment room hasn't been cleaned yet, so I'm afraid it will take two or three days to be busy." "Is there no one from his family?" "No, Mr. Uozu's mother is coming. Before that, let me clear things up." "That's a lot of work! I can send people from the company to help you, and you can give as many people as you want." "I think I can handle the rest alone." The two of them naturally sandwiched Tokiwa and walked across the platform towards the downstairs. "Hey, I really didn't expect it. Have you read yesterday's weekly magazine? Some people suspected Uozu-kun's death as suicide. Just now, I caught one of those people and beat him up a little bit. They refused Honestly believe in Uozu-kun's note. Of course, if you want to doubt, you can only doubt everything. The relationship between people, in the final analysis, is whether to believe or not. I believe in Uozu-kun. However, there are many people who don't believe in Yujin-kun. Unexpectedly, there are so many useless people." These "wretches" seem to be the group of people walking by my side now.Tokiwa glared at his surroundings, then let out a big breath.The enthusiasm of the young people just now rushed to Tokiwa's heart again. Minako looked around her as if infected by Tokiwa's anger.However, Minazi was thinking about another thing: no one knew——Yujin loved her, and she also loved Yujin.Maybe Uozu wasn't a suicide, as Tokiwa said, but it could also be, as many of Tokiwa's contempt think.Whatever it is, isn't it all the same nowadays?Uozu Kyoudai is no longer alive.The sparkling and wonderful thing that Uozu and I revealed to each other quietly at the end was just asking for the light of life at that moment, and now it is completely gone. At this time, Ah Xin also had her own thoughts. She flashed the serene and calm eyes that surprised Mina just now, and she was thinking about something completely different. Ah Xin couldn't understand Tokiwa's mood.Why did he make it a question whether Yujin died by suicide?She thought it was something so trivial that it wasn't worth asking. Because Ah Xin still can't get rid of such a state of mind - she always feels that Uozu Kyouta is walking towards her.At that time, Uozu was coming to Deze Inn to meet him.Unfortunately, however, he had to interrupt his actions along the way, but his will should still live in this universe.Ah Xin has never heard of Yujin's posture on the rock, but she believes that Yujin's head must be facing her, and her hands are also stretched out to her. In Ah Xin's heart, Yujin's death has become an unshakable established fact.Even so, she couldn't help but think that Uojin was still heading in her direction. Ah Xin has spent more than ten days in this absolutely impossible expectation, so she is always satisfied in her heart.It seemed that he was watching Uozu Kyouta walking towards him peacefully and calmly. The three of them walked down the stairs, passed through the crowd who were getting on and off the bus, and came to the ticket office, where they stopped. "Set a time, just the three of us have dinner together, okay? I'll find a cool place." While talking, Tokiwa cast his eyes on the two women equally.
