Friday, December 14th, night, Flower Mess Pavilion.

After Yamazaki pulled Hanaoka Shigeru and Yoshizawa Saki in, he found a woman there, so he let go of his hand, and the woman greeted him and asked suspiciously, "Shigeru, is this ......?"

"It's okay," Shigeru Hanaoka wiped her eyes, "Reiko, why are you here?"

Reiko Hanaoka said, "It's nothing, I came out of the bathhouse and passed by here and saw that the lights were not turned off, so I stopped by to take a look." ”

Hanaoka Shigeru said, "I don't have anything to do here, you can go back first." ”

"Okay. Reiko Hanaoka glanced at Yamazaki and Saki Yoshizawa, "Then I'll go first." With that, he left.

Yamazaki went to close the door, then pulled Shigeru Hanaoka and Saki Yoshizawa to a table and sat down with the father and daughter facing each other, "Okay, now we can have a good chat." So saying, he walked to the side, so as not to obstruct their eyes.

Yoshizawa snorted coldly, "I don't have anything to say to him. ”

Hanaoka Shigeru was silent for a moment and said, "Misaki, in fact, my life is not what you see. ”

"Really?" said Yoshizawa disagreed.

Shigeru Hanaoka recalled, "Your mother and I were both born on Hachijojima, so we can say that we are childhood sweethearts. We are both fishermen's families, and our families are not wealthy, and we didn't go to school after high school on the island, so I became a fisherman, and your mother worked at a hot spring inn. ”

"Your mother and I were going to get married when we were adults, but our parents were shipwrecked together. ”

"After dealing with the aftermath, I told your mother that I decided to go out of the island and break into the island, no longer be a fisherman, in order to make your mother happy, for our offspring to no longer be fishermen, your mother agreed. ”

Saki Yoshizawa asked, "I know this, but why don't you come back?"

Shigeru Hanaoka recalled: "When I came out, I found that things were not as simple as I thought when I was on the island, and I could find a job that made a lot of money when I came out, and I worked odd jobs at the dock and at the convenience store to earn living expenses while planning for the future, and finally decided to become a chef, so that as long as there was another restaurant, your mother and I could live in peace." ”

Saki Yoshizawa was intrigued, "And what about later?"

Shigeru Hanaoka said: "I never knew about your existence, and your mother never said it on the phone, I'm afraid I'm worried about affecting me." After a few years, I learned the craft, and after a few more years, I pooled a sum of money and took out a loan to buy the restaurant. ”

Saki Yoshizawa slapped the table and said angrily, "Then why don't you pick up your mother?"

"You don't understand, at that time, it was the time when the economy was taking off, this small building cost 300 million yen, and the pressure of repayment was really very high, I didn't want your mother to come out and suffer with me, so I wanted to wait for the business to get on the right track before going to your mother. Hanaoka Shigeru smiled bitterly, "I thought that everything would be fine for a few more years, but I didn't expect the sudden change in the economy, not only because of the sharp drop in housing prices, I lost a lot of money out of thin air, but also because everyone was not well-off, the restaurant business also plummeted, and the pressure of repayment was so heavy that I couldn't breathe." ”

Saki Yoshizawa asked, "Do you care about this as a mother?"

Shigeru Hanaoka said, "But I care. ”

Yoshizawa shouted: "You bastard, it's because of your face that your mother has waited for you all your life." ”

"No, not because of my face. Hanaoka Shigeru said bitterly, "It's love, it's my love for your mother, I can't give her happiness, in order to make her happy, I can only let her go." You don't know how much pain I was in, but I called her anyway and told her to forget about me, and I haven't contacted her since that time. ”

"You ......" Saki Yoshizawa didn't know what to say for a while.

Shigeru Hanaoka said: "In those desperate days, in the dead of night, I really thought about suicide, and I stayed up and stayed up, until the Good Mood Foundation established the Rice Flower Plaza, and the land price here recovered a lot, and the business improved, and I breathed a sigh of relief." ”

Saki Yoshizawa asked, "And then you married that woman?"

Shigeru Hanaoka said, "Yes, my heart is dead, and it doesn't matter who I marry. Reiko was originally working here, and one day she confessed to me, and I agreed. ”

Yoshizawa exclaimed, "Damn, then why don't you go to your mother?"

Hanaoka Shigeru said bitterly: "So many years have passed in the middle, I thought she was married early, and I was afraid that her husband would misunderstand and disturb her life, so I endured it." When I went fishing, I actually wanted to look at Hachijo Island from afar, where all my memories and she were. ”

Tears flowed from Yoshizawa's eyes, "You bastard, bastard. ”

"yes, I'm a bastard, big bastard. "If I had known you, it wouldn't have been like this, but I never thought to go back to see it in order to save money, and it's all my fault." ”
