Chapter 30 chapter 2

The yacht headed south at a slow pace.Since I don't know what the normal speed of the yacht is, I can't judge whether the current speed is fast or slow.President Yamamori who controls the yacht said "Let's go at a more leisurely pace", so I think this is probably a relatively slow speed! Fuyuko and I sat side by side on the back half of the deck, looking at Honshu, which was gradually moving away from us.After looking at the boundless sea, Honshu simply looks like a dirty thing sandwiched between the sky and the ocean. "When we first went to the Yamamori Sports Plaza, did we go to the swimming pool before meeting President Yamamori?" I said in a voice only Touko could hear.

"I remember!" "At that time, we left our valuables at the counter first, right?" "Ok." "I remember we didn't swim for more than an hour." "Well, that's right." Dongzi probably doesn't know why I ask these questions! "If you have an hour, maybe it's enough to take my house key from the purse, and then go to a nearby lock store to make a copy of a spare key. If it's impossible, getting a model of the key should be a breeze!" "yes……" "That's it." I said with a smile, "I tried my best to find a reason for us to go to the swimming pool, just because I wanted to find a chance to get a spare key. I thought of it last night, but even at this point, I'm still very nervous." care."

Indeed.Because the spare key fell into my hands because the other party "no longer needed it". "You mean, when we planned to meet President Yamamori, the other party already knew what kind of wishful thinking we were planning?" Dongzi said. "The correct way to say it is that the other party knows what we are going to do in this step better than ourselves. Because they already knew before we knew what was in the carton delivered by the courier." "Why do you know?" "Of course it's—" I said casually, "Miyuki Shinsato told them! She had the important task of stealing information about the shipwreck accident from Kawazu's house, but she failed, so I had to immediately Contact President Yamamori. Although the materials could have been safely delivered to Shinsato Miyuki the next day, the two of us visited President Yamamori without warning, and he had to be wronged to draw up this spare key plan But in fact, the most grievance is that Toyo Sakagami pretended to be an old man and came to inquire about my family."

"They also worked hard in their own way!" "Yes!" They may be trying really hard, but it's very disturbing to walk in and out of someone's house without taking their shoes off.Do you know how much work it took me to get rid of President Yamamori's footprints? "However," Dongzi's voice seemed to be full of clues, "What is the purpose of this yacht trip? All the participants are their companions... I don't think the incident can be resolved just by this." "It's really... very weird."I look at the cab.Mrs. Yamamori next to President Yamamori didn't know what she was talking to Yumi.Yumi couldn't see the sea with her eyes, but she seemed to feel it with her whole body.

For no reason, I shivered. Hours after departure, the yacht arrived at the scene of last year's accident.In order to let everyone know, President Yamamori gathered all the people on the deck. "That's the island we drifted to." Looking in the direction of President Yamamori's finger, an island in the shape of a squatting person quietly floated there.No other islands can be seen from this position, so in the endless ocean, only there is covered with lush vegetation, which seems to be a strange sight.The island seemed to come from an inexplicable country, and it happened to stop there for a short rest at this time.

No one made a sound, and everyone stared at the uninhabited island silently.Needless to say, the people who saved their lives by drifting to that island a year ago; the younger brother of Yukihiro Takemoto who died without making it to the island should also have the same satisfaction in his chest. "Brother, he..." Masahiko Takemoto was the first to speak.I don't know when, he came behind me with a small bouquet of flowers in his hand. "Brother, he can swim very well." He said in a calm tone with a volume that everyone could hear: "I never dreamed that my brother would die at sea."

He came to us and threw his bouquet into the sea that swallowed his brother.The bouquet floated briefly before our eyes before drifting away at a slow pace. He folded his hands toward the sea, and we did the same.If there are other ships passing by us at this time, I don’t know what kind of eyes they will use to see our ship! When we arrived at Island Y, as expected, it was around evening, and the place where we stayed sent a car to meet us.If the car didn't show up, this is really a small island with so little supplies that people don't know what to do.The minibus took us to our accommodation, which was a relatively new two-story building.It is all made of reinforced concrete, and has the style of a high-quality national dormitory.In front of the building, there is a parking lot surrounded by trees.

After we entered the house, we went to our respective rooms first.The room of Dongzi and I is the side room on the second floor, the parking lot is under the window on the south side, and the sea view can be seen when the window is opened.There are two beds and a small portable desk in the room, as well as coffee table and wicker chair.There is an alarm clock on a lamp next to the pillow. It's actually not bad. Dinner starts at six o'clock.Although it was a less lively dinner party, everyone was not familiar with each other, so we couldn't force it. Yamamori also talked about fishing and yachting to his wife and daughter, and Secretary Murayama Noriko also listened silently.Saburo Kanai and Ms. Shizuko Harumura were busy in and out like the staff of this hotel.I thought again about the fact that these two seemed to be a couple.

Takemoto Masahiko was very silent, but I think this is also a matter of course.He didn't have a particularly serious face, but he didn't seem to want to talk to anyone in particular, and he kept holding the fresh sashimi on the table.President Yamamori would occasionally talk to him, but the conversations didn't seem to last too long. After dinner, everyone moved to the living room next door for some reason.In the living room, there are entertainment facilities such as electric toys and a pool table without holes. Masahiko Takemoto was the fastest to approach the pool table.He painted chocolate on the front of the cue familiarly, and then hit the white ball on the cue as if trying his hand a little.After the white ball touched the edge of the table three times, it hit the red ball in front of him. "Wow!" Someone exclaimed.

"Can you teach me?" Noriko Murayama asked while approaching him. "It's my pleasure," he said, handing her the other club. Not long after they started to explain the four-ball rule lesson, President Yamamori came out of the restaurant with a short, dark man.The short, dark man should be the manager of this room. "Yusuke!" President Yamamori shouted in a resonant voice.Yusuke is Ishikura's name.He was just about to start playing darts with Saburo Kanai and Miss Shizuko, and he already had a yellow dart in his hand. "Would you like to accompany us for a while?" President Shanmori made a gesture of arranging mahjong with both hands, and Shi Cang's eyes changed color instantly. "Has the person been found?"

"You are the only one missing." President Yamamori replied: "The owner and chef here have already joined!" "Yeah...then I'll play for a while." Shi Cang said, walking to the stairs with them.When I saw the space configuration diagram of this building, I found out that the mahjong room is in the basement. At this time, the music suddenly sounded, and I looked around and found that Mrs. Yamamori had just left the jukebox in the corner.She walked over to Yumi who was waiting on the sofa, and whispered something.Yumi's finger moved on the book, I think it must be a Braille book! Saburo Kanai and Miss Harumura Shitsuko were playing darts, and we were playing old-fashioned pinball next to them.The mechanical arm is old and works very slowly, so it is difficult to get a high score.But even so, Dongzi still got enough points to play again.It's amazing. After playing a few times, I found that it seemed difficult for me to beat Dongzi, so I went back to the room first.Dongzi said that she wanted to achieve higher results, so she still worked hard to operate the robotic arm. I climbed the stairs, but stopped on the way to look down. People playing pool, people shooting darts, people around the mahjong table, people burning with fighting spirit on the pinball table, people listening to music and people reading Braille books. These people are the residents staying here tonight.
