On this day, Shunzi was absent from work without any reason.Because to be precise, she officially submitted her resignation today.The letter of resignation was written last night, a few short sentences, and a piece of letter paper has not been used up.That thin envelope played a very important role.As long as Misawa Junko put this envelope into the red mailbox, everything will be fine.This action will quickly change Shunzi's life path. The envelope was dropped by Sunja into a mailbox in front of a tobacco shop on the way to Haneda Airport.The scene when the letter was submitted, in the eyes of Shunzi at the time, might not be worth mentioning.But in the future, it will definitely appear in Shunzi's memory.This is a turning point in Shunzi's life!An old woman was sitting in front of the tobacco shop, wearing glasses and reading a magazine.There was a kitten on the cover of the magazine... Junko Misawa was not particularly interested in sitting on the plane.It's been a long time since I've traveled by air though.Sitting in her position, one can fully appreciate the snow light reflected from the snow-capped field.How beautiful the snow scene is!That snowy light turned red as it approached Osaka.The scenery on the ground is also very attractive.However, Shunzi didn't have the heart to appreciate it.

The person sitting next to Shunzi was a strange man.The man got bored of reading magazines, so he started talking to Sunja.He seemed to be a salesman and a very polite young man.But Shunzi just listened to him and kept silent.The other party was very angry and fell silent.During the one hour in the plane, Misawa Junko, who didn't even bother to talk, had plenty of time to think about problems, but in fact, she couldn't even figure out a problem.In such an occasion, it is better not to think about anything, so that your mind will become blank, and everything will be left to itself! It was already night in Osaka city from Itami.Misawa Junko had been to Osaka twice before, but it has been a long time.The land was still foreign to her.The taxi Misawa Junko took at the airport bumped and ran across the tram tracks, crossed the bridge, walked around a river and got on the road.This He Shunzi still felt a little familiar.

The Nakanoshima Hotel is magnificent.After Misawa Junko entered the gate, she walked through the rest hall to the reception room.She asked the receptionist if there was any room available, and she was told: "What a coincidence, it's already full." He refused immediately. "Can you manage to arrange another room?" Sunja asked. "I'm sorry, the reservation was stopped a week ago. I'm really sorry." The receptionist pushed her back very politely. "By the way, does Unno-san live here?" "Umino?" "Yes, it's Unano Tatsuhira from Tokyo."

"Ah, is it Manager Uno?" The receptionist looked at Sunja, as if he wanted to get to know her again: "Yes, he has reserved a room." "Well—excuse me, didn't he come here?" "No. If someone from the company comes here, they usually arrive here around 9:30." As soon as Unino was mentioned, the receptionist's attitude towards Junko Misawa became more friendly. "If you have something to ask the manager, would you like to leave a message and we will convey it?" "No, I'll come back later." "Okay, that's it." The receptionist bowed respectfully to Shunja.

Misawa Junko was so respected by the other party just by revealing Unino Tatsuhei's name. Shunzi looked at his watch, it was exactly 7:30, two hours before Unano Tatsuhei arrived.I have no choice but to go to the city first and then talk. Come out of the hotel, walk along the small river, and come to the bridge after a while.Sunja saw a building.This big hug still seems to remain in her memory.But the location of the building is no longer discernible. "Is it convenient to get around the lively places from here?" Shunzi asked a driver for directions. The driver understood that she wanted to visit the city, so he said:

"The busiest place goes south, around Shinsaibashi, to Ginza in Osaka..." The driver told her how to go. In Japan, no matter where you go, there are streets called "Ginza".In the city, all the bustling streets are called "Ginza", while in the countryside, the wide roads are called "Ginza". Misawa Junko came to Shinsaibashi, walked across the long road in Dotonjo, and walked towards the city.Pedestrians gradually increased.However, you can't spend two hours walking.Shunzi was not familiar with the local shops, and she was not interested in going in to have a look when she was alone. She just watched from a distance. She didn't feel hungry or thirsty.Is it because of nervousness?The more Misawa Junko felt tired, the more nervous her thoughts became.

Entering a side street, a high-end restaurant appeared in front of Shunzi.Those luxury vehicles are neatly parked on both sides of the road.Sunja seemed to feel that Unano Tatsuhei was inside.Since he is on a business trip to Osaka, the agent of the local branch or various manufacturers will definitely host a banquet for him.Here, there are nightclubs, bars and pubs with dance halls lined up.After the banquet, they might go to the nightclub to have fun again.The receptionist at the Nakanoshima Hotel said that Unano Tatsuhei had reserved a bed at 9:30, and it might be late at night when he returned to the hotel.Thinking of this, Misawa Junko felt that she could no longer wander around in these streets whose names she couldn't even pronounce.She began to worry about her accommodation.She had to stay down first.

Misawa Junko walked into a rather eye-catching hotel and asked if there were any vacant beds.A waitress said, "Yes." She came over to help Shunzi pick up her travel bag and lead the way. "Did you just arrive? How many times have you been to Osaka?" The waiter greeted Shunzi and led Shunzi to a downstairs room in a small courtyard.The bunks were not very clean.On the opposite side, there was another male guest who kept looking this way as he passed through the corridor. At half past nine, Shunzi hung up the phone from the hotel to the Nakanoshima Hotel. "Which one are you?" asked the switchboard of the Nakanoshima exchange.

"I'm Junko Misawa from Tokyo. Please, Mr. Unno, please tell him when he arrives at the hotel." The switchboard at the switchboard asked her to wait, and then said: "Please speak." Sunzi thought, maybe Unino Tatsuhei has arrived at Nakanoshima or the banquet is over, or maybe his secretary or someone is on the phone.Misawa Junko's speculation immediately became clear from the voice coming from the microphone. "Ah, it's your oyster!" Uno Tatsuhira's deep voice came from the microphone.Because of the microphone, it sounds like a standard baritone. "Where are you in Tokyo now?" Umino Tatsuhira asked again.

"It's not in Tokyo, it's in Osaka!" Sunja said. "What? You came to Osaka?" Uno Chenhei looked surprised: "Really, I don't know at all. When did you arrive?" "I got off the plane at 7 o'clock and went to the Nakanoshima Hotel once." "It's outrageous, the reception room didn't say anything to me!" "No, I didn't leave anything to say." "Where do you live in Osaka now?" "It's in a hotel near Shinsaibashi. Asked for a room." "So it is. Come here!" "This..." Shunzi hesitated for a moment, unable to figure out what Unano Tatsuhei was thinking.

The other party seemed to have guessed her mind, and simply said: "Bring the things you brought, pay the accommodation fee, and you move here to live." "However, the receptionist on your side said that the rooms are full and turned me down at the beginning." "What? Did you plan to stay in the hotel from the beginning?" Uno Tatsuhei said with a loud laugh.This excitement was something he didn't usually have. "Let's find a way in the room. Anyway, come to my room as soon as you get back to the hotel." "Does anyone else live there?" "Don't worry... I'll blow him away when you come. Only the secretary is here." "Okay, I'll go right away." Junko Misawa asked the surprised waitress at the hotel to settle the bill.He picked up his travel bag, took a taxi and left the hotel.The street lamps on both sides of the streets of Osaka flowed to the back of the taxi one after another.Shunzi felt that her own fate, like this passing street lamp, would take a sharp turn for the worse just tonight... The staff in the reception room of the hotel has changed shifts.After receiving the instructions from Uno Tatsuhei, the new staff immediately told the waiter to lead Misawa Junko to the elevator: "Please send the guests to Room 612 on the 6th floor." The elevator was driven by a girl in a kimono. After getting off the elevator, when the waiter on the 6th floor opened the door of Room 612 for Sanzawa, Shunzi seemed to feel that the door that opened was the door of her destiny!After entering the "Gate of Destiny", Shunzi was led into a room with a red carpet. Seeing Unino Tatsuhei, Misawa Junko couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The room was like a reception room.There was no bed, but several chairs lined up side by side.Unno Tatsuhei, who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, raised his disheveled head with white hair, smiled and said to Sunja: "Ah, please sit down!" The waiter put down Misawa Junko's travel bag.Umino Tatsuhei said to the waiter: "You call the receptionist and send the travel bag to the room you told him just now." The waiter came out again carrying Junko Misawa's travel bag. "What are you doing standing there?" Umino Tatsuhei asked.The tone is full of caress. "Hmm. Are there any rooms available?" "Don't worry. It's easy to handle if I'm here. It's still difficult to entertain customers!" There was a lot of interest in this reception-like room.Sunja sat down, and between her and Unano Tatsuhei was a table with a unique design. "Locating near Shinsaibashi, you can really figure it out." Umino Tatsuhei said slowly, smoking a pipe. "Yeah, you won't live here!" "Well. It's just that it's too dangerous to live alone in an unfamiliar place with a woman." Umino Tatsuhiro kept silent about his letter to Misawa Junko.Shunzi didn't say a word either.In fact, Junko Misawa came to Osaka by plane, doesn't it mean that she accepted Unano Tatsuhei's invitation to come? "Have you got a meal yet?" "Hey. We ate at the hotel." "Oh, is the food delicious?" "No." "Is this your first time in Osaka?" "I came here with my mother a long time ago. It seems to be the first time now." "What time is it?" Umino Tatsuhei seemed to be asking himself.He looked at his watch, it was less than 10 o'clock. "I really don't know how to treat a rich lady like you. At this moment, the movie should be over, the play should be over, and I don't like concerts." "Please don't worry about this." knocking.The waiter brought Japanese tea.Junko Misawa stood up and approached the window.She opened the big curtains and looked down at the night view of Osaka.She saw that the river in front of her eyes had now turned into a long black ribbon, and on the other side of the river was a street lamp beyond the horizon. "Did you ask for leave from the newspaper?" "Hey." Shunzi hesitated.She wanted to talk about resignation slowly in the future.I didn't say much. "Well, you seem to like night scenes very much. No way, we have to go to nightclubs. Do you like dancing?" "It's not good at dancing, but in Osaka, where I'm not familiar with, I want to watch it." "Okay, refreshing!" Umino Tatsuhei praised.He stood up. Misawa Junko came to the door and waited for him in the corridor.Umino Tatsuhira turned off the lights and closed the door. "Where's the secretary?" Junko Misawa asked. "Secretary? He gave up the room here and moved to another place." "Hey, is there a room elsewhere?" "Haha, haha! In fact, the room can be conjured up like a magic trick. No matter what time it is, the Nakanoshima Hotel can't drive away the guests I invited, can it?" The elevator reached the first floor, and Umino Tatsuhei stepped out of the elevator.Seeing Unino stepping out of the elevator, Sunja knew that he was in high spirits.At the hotel gate, they did not take the company's car, but hired a taxi.Umino Tatsuhei told the taxi driver the destination. The car ran away.After the lights went out, the interior of the car was dark.Shunzi thought to himself that Umino Tatsuhei might take advantage of the darkness to do something deviant.But Umino Tatsuhei didn't move at all.He kept smoking. The ride time is not long.After a while, I came to the door of a nightclub. "This nightclub is considered an upper-class nightclub in Osaka." Uno Tatsuhei said. The gatekeeper in red uniform bowed quickly when he saw Unino Tatsuhei coming.Obviously, Unano Tatsuhei is also a frequent visitor here.After entering, the manager of the nightclub personally led them into the hall and greeted them: "When did it arrive?" Although there is also a dance hall in the hall, it is slightly different from the nightclubs in Akasaka, Tokyo.For example, the nightclub where Masako Mihara is located is slightly better in terms of luxurious equipment.But here, it is also interesting.Outside the hall is the garden.Looking through the glass door, the garden illuminated by fluorescent lights looks like daytime.On the wall at the front of the hall hangs a huge painting with a waterfall.Several foreigners were watching the waterfall in the painting, and kept looking back when they left. "It's not the same as in Tokyo, is it?" Uno Tatsuhira said while pouring wine for Shunzi, "This nightclub is run by a senior chef. Waterfalls are also regarded as Japanese tastes." Shunzi was persuaded, and finished drinking a glass of cocoa voz. The band has changed tunes three times.The dance floor is crowded. "Shall we dance?" Uno Tatsuhei invited. Before this, Unano Tatsuhei had been staring at the dancing crowd in a daze.What is he thinking?Misawa Junko accepted his invitation to chase from Tokyo to Osaka, which was not a child's play for him.How should we understand this matter?mean what?He couldn't tell.When he sent the express letter inviting Sunja to Osaka, he didn't hold out much hope.He never expected that Junko Sanze would fly to his side by himself.How to deal with this matter, he was a little at a loss, as if in a dream. When dancing, Umino Tatsuhei's dance steps are very elegant.He led Shunja through the mixed crowd extremely seriously and briskly. "Your movements are beautiful." Uno Tatsuhei said to Junzi, "Do you often dance in Masako's shop?" "No. Not once there. I hate dancing with other people." "Really?" Hearing what Shunzi said, Uno Tatsuhei seemed even more satisfied.It seems that he, Umino Tatsuhei, is still blessed! After the dance music ended, Unno and Sunja returned to their seats.Umino Tatsuhei asked the waiter to bring some more wine.Misawa Junko quietly looked at her watch again, it was already 11:30.Shunzi didn't know what plans Umino Tatsuhei would have next, she pretended to be nonchalant and looked out. "Have you resigned from the newspaper?" Umino Tatsuhei asked suddenly.But the tone is very calm. "Hey." Misawa Junko was surprised by Unano Tatsuhei's insight. For Unano Tatsuhei, this matter was not at all sloppy.He has already seen Misawa Junko's determination to come to Osaka.Unino is also responsible for Shunzi.But a thought instantly appeared in Misawa Junko's mind, that is, she herself was willing to fall into Unano Tatsuhei's arms.When the band played the ending dance music and the hall was suddenly dark, Sunzi was hugged tightly by Unino Tatsuhei, and she obediently pressed her face against Unino's chest.Neither of them said anything. Uno Tatsuhei and Misawa Junko walked out of the nightclub with other guests.The waiter came and hired a taxi for Unano Tatsuhei and Misawa Junko. "Good night!" The waiter also greeted Misawa Junko. In the car back to the hotel, Umino Tatsuhei did not let go of Sunja's hand.But still nothing. After entering the gate of Nakanoshima Hotel, Umino Tatsuhei took the key in the reception room. "Give me the key to room 613, too." Haiye Chenping took the keys to rooms 612 and 613. The key to No. 613 is for Shunzi, and the room is next door to Umino Tatsuhei's room.It is the room for the secretary to exit. "Good night!" The night shift attendant on the elevator watched them go to the room on the 6th floor. Seeing Umino Tatsuhei stop at the door of Room 613, Sunja's heart couldn't help but thump. "This key is yours." Umino Tatsuhei handed the key of that room to Sunja, and then turned to open the door of his own room. The two of them opened the door of their room.After Unano Tatsuhei opened Room 612, he saw that Shunzi hadn't opened it yet, so he hurried over. "Let me drive for you!" Umino Tatsuhei asked Sunja to stand back.He pulled the key from the door.Then he put the key in his coat pocket, put an arm around Sunja's shoulder, and entered his room.In an instant, Misawa Junko's feet stopped working.
