Chapter 8 chapter eight

The train from Kobe takes one hour to Otaru.Hiroko is determined to let go of her tree.Furthermore, she wanted to see that female Fujii tree. Their goal was No. 24, 2-chome, which was near Mao's friend's home.The lane is easy to find; it's just off a newly built highway.The road is not yet open to traffic. "19, 20, 21, 22,..." The lane is at right angles to the highway, but it stops when the number reaches 22. 24 should be right in the middle of the highway. "Impossible, the postman sent a letter, the 24th must be around the corner." Mao walked to the middle of the road and stopped.His hand moved in the air, like knocking on a virtual door: "How are you, is anyone home?"

"Stop it, Mao! It's not funny." Then they saw it.2-chome No. 24 is just behind No. 22.The words "Fujii" on the letter prove that this is the case.Mao happily rings the doorbell.Hiroko pulled his arm. "Maybe we should stop here and see how it goes." "Don't be afraid, it's fine." Tree's grandfather poked his head out of the window. "I'm looking for Fujii tree. Is she at home?" Mao called. "Shu isn't home right now. Do you want to come in?" "No thanks. We'll just wait outside." Hiroko didn't know what to think, or what to feel.The whole thing is weird.They want to meet with A Shu to find out the truth of the matter.She took her notebook out of her purse.

Ashu, I am writing this letter outside your house because you are not at home.I'm visiting you from Kobe because I'm curious about who you are.I'm looking for Fujii tree, but this tree is a man, so he can't be you.I'm leaving now.Because of my current situation with my tree, I don't think I have the courage to meet you.Please accept my apology. Hiroko Hiroko put the letter in the mailbox. "Are you sure you don't want to wait for her?" Mao was a little disappointed.Hiroko nodded. They decided to spend the night at Mao's friend's house not far away.Five minutes after they started, a taxi came towards them.Shigeru waved, but it didn't stop, and continued to drive to Fujii's house.The tree is in the taxi, just came back from the hospital.She opened the mailbox and found the letter.After reading it, she looked around to see if Hiroko was nearby.At the same time, the taxi came back to pick up Hiroko and Mao after putting down the tree.The taxi driver kept looking at Hiroko in the rear mirror: "I just dropped off a woman who looks exactly like you."

Mao raised his eyebrows: "Who? Me?" "No, I mean the lady next to you."
