Chapter 20 Part II, Verse 21: Cicadas on the Eighth Day (21)

"It's so embarrassing to talk about it all the time." What is the origin of this woman?It doesn't look like a mental disorder, and I know she has no intention of harming us, but why did she ask us to stay here all the time when we met by chance? "Uh, I..." I was interrupted in the middle of my sentence. "Get some milk and feed her." The woman stared at the bottle and said, I saluted and walked out of the kitchen. In the afternoon, I let Kaoru sit in a baby carrier, put on my overcoat and walked to the entrance, when the paper door of the next room suddenly opened, and a woman appeared.

"where are you going?" she said aggressively. "Uh, I'm going shopping..." "When are you coming back?" "I'll be right back, if you need anything, I can buy it together." "No." The woman put down her words coldly and closed the paper door. I walked out the gate and into the alley.There don't seem to be many shops in this area. It's a wonderful area.Although there are row upon row of houses, none of them seem to be inhabited.Either the rain-shielding windows are closed, or there are rusty bicycles lying at the door, it's like a ghost town.The iron tower standing on the other side of the ghost town looks like a stage set.

That woman, shouldn't have trespassed on the house illegally and lived in that house without authorization?Or, did he commit some crime and escape here and hide in that room?For that woman of unknown origin, I felt horrified, but at the same time, I was secretly relieved that I would have a place to spend the night before I found a place to live.The bathroom should be clean with a little cleaning, gas and electricity are working. I bought a hamburger at the fast food restaurant and went to the park to eat it.There are many mothers with children in the park. "How old is it? What's your name?" a young mother teased Kaoru.

Six months old, named Kaoru.Hearing this answer, the other party hugged the child on his lap. "My name is Takumi, please give me your advice." While dancing the child's hands pretending to be cute.Kaoru looked at the baby curiously.The baby boy who was a little older than Kaoru was supposed to be a few months old, I couldn't tell at all. "Where do you live?" This time she asked me. "After here, go to the other side of the river." I don't know the name of the district, so I can only answer this way. "Oh. There are no people living in that area now. I heard that most of the residents have moved

gone. " "Ah, yes, yes." I echoed.Were the residents of those empty houses forced to evict? "Then, you always go to the Nagoya Medical University for medical consultation?" Yes, that's right, as I answered that, I also knew that my face was stiff.Even if the other party keeps asking me, I can't answer it.I frantically searched for an excuse in my mind to escape, but she nodded frequently, looked at the children playing in the sun, and began to talk about herself.I breathed a sigh of relief.She said she moved here from Tokyo a year ago to live with her in-laws, but they didn't get along well.
