"Mom," Tojo Junko called. Sumiko opened her eyes, blinked, and twisted her neck, as if she was looking for something. "Mom, do you know? Mr. Takumi is here to see you. He's here." Sumiko's eyes hesitated for a while, then fell on Takumi's face.Takumi gritted his teeth and accepted her gaze. She moved her thin face, opened her lips, and let out a breath, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't make a sound. "Huh? What did you say?" Junko Tojo brought her face closer to Sumiko's mouth. "Yeah, it's Tuoshi who's here. He was specially asked to come." Junzi turned to Tuoshi: "Come closer, she can't see clearly."

Ke Tuoshi remained motionless.He didn't want to do anything for this hateful woman.In fact, he couldn't move, because Tojo Sumiko's aura suppressed him. "Tuoshi..." Shisheng called him, but he turned a deaf ear. Takumi stood up and looked down at Sumiko. "I...I didn't forgive you." He tried his best to restrain his emotions, and said slowly, "I just want to tell you that I am not your child." "Tuoshi, don't do this." Junzi begged. "Yeah, don't be impulsive, sit down first and then talk." Shi Sheng also persuaded.

"Aren't you annoying! I just promised you, so I have been patient. Now that I have met this old woman, is it interesting enough? What else do you want from me?" At this moment, Sumiko's breathing became rapid.She opened her mouth, gasping for air, her sunken eyes widening. "Ah, it's not good!" At the same time Yoshie exclaimed, white foam appeared from the corner of Sumiko's mouth, she rolled her eyes, her skin began to turn black, and then her body twitched.Chunzi hurriedly threw herself on the quilt and pressed her tightly. Shisheng stood up and thought about it, Tuoshi grabbed his shoulder. "Leave her alone."

"She's dangerous." "What's the use of your past?" "Maybe it can help." "No, it's fine." Tojo Junko said, "It's often like this, just let her settle down for a while." Shi Sheng looked up at Tuo Shi and said, "Can't you get closer? She's sick." "Can you forgive anything for a patient?" "It's not like that." "Shut up! Don't bother me." Takumi looked at Sumiko again.Under the care of the two women, her original beauty has long since disappeared.The attack seemed to have subsided, and traces of white foam were still sticking to her mouth.

Tuo Shi turned around, opened the sliding door, turned around again before stepping into the corridor, said: "Retribution!" and left. He walked aimlessly, and came to the door of Chun'an shop, put the bag on the side of the road, and sat on it. After a while, Shi Sheng also ran out. "Why are you like this? Don't you think it's too childish?" He said helplessly. "I have done everything I promised. The next step is to go to Osaka. I won't ask you to complain." Shi Sheng didn't nod, just sighed.Takumi stood up and left alone.After a while, Shi Sheng silently followed.

After buying a ticket to Nagoya Station at Jingumae Station, Shisheng said, "Is that all there is?" "what do you want?" "I think you should have a good talk. She left you as a last resort." "Don't always speak for her. If you care about her so much, just stay here. I'll go alone. " "What's the use of my staying?" Having said this, Shisheng suddenly stopped and looked behind Tuoshi.Takumi turned his head and saw Tojo Junko walking quickly.She seemed to be driving here with a small package in her arms. "Ah, it's okay, let me catch up." She looked at Tuoshi and smiled.

This expression was completely beyond Takumi's expectation, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. "Is it okay to leave her alone?" he asked. "It's okay with Jijiang watching. Thank you so much for coming here today." She bowed her head to Tuoshi. Tuoshi touched the back of his neck and said, "It sounds like he's scolding me." "Where are you thinking! Didn't you write it in the letter? Just show it. I thought you wouldn't come." "You came here just to say this?" "This is one of them, and there is another big thing." She unwrapped the package as she said, "I want to give this to you."

She handed over a book, a hand-drawn comic with colored pencil drawings on the cover of boys and girls sitting on square boxes.The strokes are quite in the style of Osamu Tezuka, quite level.What is most striking is the obsolescence of the book.The paper has deteriorated, and it seems that it will be broken when touched, and the edges are mottled. "what is this?" "My mother told me that Tuoshi would hand it over to him when she came, because she might not be able to hand it over by herself." "What's the point of me taking this? It looks like someone drew the comics, so why give it to me?"

Tojo Junko blinked and tilted his head slightly. "I don't understand this either. My mother didn't say it. But this thing is really important to her. I saw her often look at this. I guess it is also very important to you." Takumi reached out to take it.The title of the book is "Classroom in the Sky", and the square box seems to represent the classroom.The author's name is Yuzuka Yumezuka, but I've never heard of it. "What's the use of accepting this inexplicable thing?" "Don't say that, please accept it. If you don't want it, you can dispose of it."

"Can……" "What's wrong? Isn't it just such a little thing?" Shi Sheng said beside him, "It doesn't take up space. If you don't want it, I'll take it." Takumi glanced at Shisheng, then turned his gaze back to Junko Tojo's face, and saw her nod her head. "I can't ask for it back in the future, it might be thrown away by me." "As you wish." "Then I'll take it." He stuffed the comics into his bag, "We should go." The tram is about to pull in. "I'm sorry for delaying you. If I come again later..." She shook her head and smiled slightly, "Stop talking, just take care."

Tuoshi didn't answer, turned to Shisheng and said "Let's go", then left Shisheng who was still hesitating for some reason, and passed the ticket gate. "Mr. Takumi." Tojo Junko's voice came from behind. Takumi stopped and turned his head.Chunzi seemed to be adjusting his breathing, his chest heaved up and down and he said: "My mother once told me when I was a little better that this illness is retribution, the retribution I deserve." Takumi felt something congealed in his chest, he swallowed it, and bowed to Junko with tight lips, and walked again. -------------------------------- Note:
