This day, Pingsuke came to Chiba County because he wanted to discuss work matters with his subordinate factories.On the way back, Heisuke got off at Monzen-Nakacho Station because he remembered that there used to be a delicious soba noodle restaurant in the area. It's already May, the weather is sunny, and the road looks a little dazzling.Before going to the soba restaurant, Heisuke visited the Tomioka Hachiman Shrine.He remembered the scene where he used to be here for Sami Nami. When I came out of the shrine and walked on the street lined with shops, a man with a very familiar face came across.The man appeared to be in his 50s, with sun-tanned skin, excess fat on his face, and a bloated white jacket.Heisuke thought to himself that if Naoko and Sami Nami saw him, they would say they felt uncomfortable.

The other party also stared at Pingjie's face, as if he felt familiar with Pingjie. Hirasuke finally remembered who he was, and at the same time the other party seemed to remember Hirasuke. "Ah, it's you!" Hirasuke greeted the other party first. "Oh!" The man stretched out his right hand and approached Hirasuke, "Long time no see, how are you?" "Ah, it's okay." Heisuke, who was forced to shake hands, nodded. This person was Fujisaki who was sitting with Heisuke at the Federation of Victims' Families.Fujisaki runs a printing company.In the accident, he lost his twin daughters.

"Do you come here often?" Fujisaki asked.The last time Heisuke saw him was about 4 years ago.His body looked bigger than it was then. "Ah, no. This time, I just finished my work and passed by here on my way back." "So that's it. Then come and sit with me, my company is nearby." "Ah, is that right? But..." Hirasuke hesitated, but Fujisaki started walking forward while beckoning "Let's go".There was no other way, Hirasuke had no choice but to follow behind, thinking, it seems that the soba noodles could not be eaten. Saying that the company is nearby, Fujisaki still took Hirasuke to his car.It was a brand new Mercedes, and it still smelled like new.Tiny dolls hang by the windows.

"The company is in Kayabacho, and it takes only 5 minutes." "Didn't you say you were in Jiangdong District?" "It's still there now. But the main business was moved here three years ago." The Mercedes-Benz drove into a building next to the Kayabacho subway station.After parking the car in the underground parking lot, Fuji Ji walked ahead, his back full of confidence. Fujisaki's office is on the first floor of the building. The company's name is SAFEPUT. The atmosphere in the office is quiet and elegant. Computers and other related equipment are arranged in an orderly manner. There are about seven or eight employees.

Hirasuke was asked to sit down on the leather sofa. "What I do now is mainly computer design work. Recently, more and more customers adopt our export service." "Export service?" "For example, when you want to print out the images in the computer, if you use an ordinary printer, the color is not beautiful enough, and it is easy to cross colors, so it is difficult to satisfy. At this time, just use the floppy disk or CD we provide. It can be printed perfectly. This is our output service. The output is 0UTPUT in English. I think 0UTPUT is unlucky, so I changed it to SAFEPUT."

"Ah, so that's how SAFEPUT came about..." "Where does Sugiyama-san work?" Fujisaki asked, putting an arm on the back of the sofa.It took Hirasuke several seconds to realize that the "Sugiyama" he was referring to was himself.I wanted to correct him, but I felt troublesome, so I gave up. "I work in an ordinary factory." Heisuke replied. "Really, the days of the factory may not be good in the future." Fujisaki said in an entrepreneurial tone. Afterwards, while drinking coffee, Hirasuke listened to Fujisaki's story about his success at work.After estimating that the timing was almost right, Heisuke stood up.

"It's almost time, I have to go back." "Then let's work hard together. We can't forget the words we shouted to the valley that day." Fujisaki sent Hisuke to the door, and said, holding his hand very hard.This is also the only time he mentioned the topic related to the accident.Heisuke recalls his first anniversary yelling "You bastards!" Just as Hirasuke came out of the building and was waiting for the traffic lights at the intersection, a man stood beside him.The man is short and bald.Hirasuke remembered that he had just seen him in Fuji's office.

"Have you known each other for a long time?" The man smiled and spoke to Heisuke. "Well, that's right." Hiroshi replied with a wry smile. "That president, he can't stop talking. It's really unbearable. By the way, did you know him at the meeting of the families of the victims?" "Yes." Heisuke replied, guessing in his heart that he should have heard what he said when he and Fujisaki parted. "Because of that accident, the president's fate has also changed a lot!" The man glanced behind him after speaking. "yes?"

The man nodded. "Before the accident, he owed a lot of debts, and the company was about to close down. At this time, an accident happened. Because he lost two daughters, the compensation was more than 100 million yen, so his business came back to life at once. , developed to the level it is today.” "yes……" When the light turned green, Heisuke started to cross the road, followed by the man. "The president once told me that the two disobedient children did their filial piety to him at the last moment. Although he suffered a lot when his wife left, it is true that he can raise the two of them to such a great age. That's great. I don't even know how to answer him after hearing that."

At the entrance of the subway station, the man seemed to keep going, so Hirasuke said "goodbye" to him and went down the steps. In fact, Hirasuke really wanted to tell the man just now that not all sorrows can be seen.However, he didn't say it.He felt that Fujisaki didn't want people to know his heart.The doll hanging in the Mercedes-Benz appeared in Heisuke's mind. The dolls are cute little girls, and are two identical. -------------------------------- Note:
