Chapter 1: The Other Side of the Dream

The cool evening breeze gently caressed the brightly lit city at its feet, Fuyuki City. The bright moonlight, under the light and starlight, gently sprinkled on the already deserted street.

The occasional lazy chirping of a cat can be heard in the dim and clear alleys, and the breeze sweeps through the silent park, where several couples in love are gently embracing each other, unaware that the night is deep. Everything is so ordinary.

Wu Yuan and the people came out of the convenience store on the side of the road with a few newly bought sorbets in their hands, and a black cat looked at the people with its warm green eyes across the road, and then "meowed" into the shadows of the night. Although the body is obviously tired after a day of hard work, the thought of his gentle wife and innocent and lovely daughter at home unconsciously lifts up again.

"I must support this family!"

Thinking like this, in the evening breeze of Xixi, his sideburns, which were a little gray due to work and social pressure, also looked radiant at this time, tightened the convenience bag in his hand, took a steady step, and walked quickly along the road to his home.

"Squeak" I think of a pleasant metal grinding sound, which is a sound that can only be produced by the friction of metal that has become smooth over the years! Then, followed by a soft "bang".

"Daddy!"

With the sound of "da-da-da" trotting barefoot on the wooden floor, a girl of about 13 years old ran out from the opposite side of the entrance and threw herself into the warm embrace of the person who had just entered the door.

Wu Yuan and people seem to have been accustomed to this way of greeting, a helpless face gently touched the plush head of the daughter who has reached his shoulders, although he likes such a lively and lovely daughter very much, but her childish innocence that has not faded after going to middle school has made people have a headache.

"Where's Mom?"

"Cooking!"

Mai Yuan Yichun raised his head and grinned toothily at Kazuto, and then stared at Kazuto with a pair of big wet eyes.

"I'm so hungry! Let's go, eat! ”

He pretended not to see anything, put on a pair of brown cotton slippers, raised his legs, and strode towards the living room!

"Dad~Dad~"

Yichun anxiously pulled the sleeves of the people and shook them! Maybe it's because his vanity as a father has been satisfied, Kazuto turned around with a sudden smile and handed the convenience bag in his other hand to Yichun.

"Oh! I almost forgot, give, it's sorbet tonight, hehe! ”

"Thank you, Dad!"

Yi Chun snatched the convenience bag in the wide palm of his hand, and ran into the kitchen with a "da-da-da"!

For some reason, Yi Chun especially likes to eat sorbet, watching Yi Chun leave with sorbet in his arms like a 6 or 7-year-old child. The mood of the people has also become excited, and perhaps it is this happy back that makes me not forget to bring back a piece of sorbet every night!

This kind of life that is not very rich, but very fulfilling, is your greatest happiness!

Thinking like this, he put on his slippers as easily as usual, and kicked the floor with his toes and walked towards the living room.

……

The lights were dim, and the people were still sucking the soup of the hamburger on the plate, looking intoxicated.

"Really, every time!"

The beautiful woman who was sitting next to Kazuto and Yichun was listening to the prime-time hit radio drama angrily patted Kazuto's back lightly with her palm.

"No way, my wife, your craftsmanship is getting more and more superb, and every time I can't help it!"

With a "ruffian" smile, a resolute and square face is full of flattering smiles at this time, and there is an indescribable weirdness and warmth.

Just like a soft cake with fresh cream, it's perfect with a sweet and sour cherry.

"Dad, every time I see you smile like a gentleman, it always gives me a distorted sense of beauty, and I still can't adapt to it after so many years!"

Yi Chun licked the cool ice cream, looked disgusted, glanced at the people with a smile in his eyes, and said seriously.

"Poof!"

Aiko (Yichun's mother and Kazuto's wife) obviously didn't hold back and laughed all at once, but she still tried her best to educate Yichun with a straight face.

"How can you say that about your father? Respect your father, right? Metamorphosis~Morphos~Gentleman~Gentleman~"

Aiko was supposed to be a serious word, and the tone of the last sentence has become strange and weird!

"Uh......"

After hearing this, the expression of the person was obvious "uh", and then put down the plate that was already smooth and shiny, and lay back on the sofa, looking like he was really convinced by your mother and daughter! However, as an adult man in charge, saying the word "uh" in front of his wife and children is enough for him to be "proud" for a lifetime!

"Hahaha......"

The sound of laughter echoed through the dark windows, in the quiet and quiet of the night.

Perhaps, ordinary life is a person's greatest happiness!

……

Next to the residential area where Maien Yiharu's house is located is the Tosaka family, a very famous local family.

Quiet nights, quiet streets, quiet bushes, everything is so quiet, quiet and a little eerie, there is not even a trace of insects in the large bushes.

It's like an isolated space, exuding a creepy atmosphere, a huge Shui Wuyue home, a huge "ice coffin", every ordinary person who sees this house will think like this.

Suddenly, a loud muffled sound came from the location of Tosaka's house, and the space around it shattered like frozen glass! The magnificent and luxuriously shaped Tosaka family's house, as the space burst out, became a ruined wall, desolate and lonely, only some helpless sparks beating in the ruins. It is as if it had just experienced an air strike by the United States on Iraq in the name of justice, leaving only an inch of scorched earth behind.

The bright moon in the night sky had turned into a huge wormhole surging with blood-red magma, deep and eerie, exuding a mesmerizing and powerful evil aura.

……

In the dead of night, the residential area that had just been brightly lit was completely silent, and only a dim street lamp only illuminated the small area below itself under the oppression of the night.

Dance garden clothes spring home.

Close to the living room and bedroom, Wu Yuan and the person tossed and turned, as if they were distressed about something, raised their right hand, and then reached under their pillow and felt out a pack of cigarettes, took out one, put it on the tip of their nose and asked about this familiar breath, and was about to move it to their mouths, when they suddenly heard the slight breathing sound beside them, hooked the corners of their mouths, and put the cigarette back.

"What's the matter, with people, still not sleeping?"

Aiko opened her slightly worried eyes and asked in a hazy mind. He hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said, "Aiko, have you noticed that food and clothes have become more and more expensive recently, but bicycles, furniture, and other things have become cheaper and cheaper?" ”

"Hmm!" Aiko pondered for a moment, "But isn't that better for us?" Mom and dad in the countryside will bring a lot of food from time to time, except for formal clothes and school uniforms, we can make the rest ourselves, right? ”

"That's right! But ......" and the person's face was a little melancholy, as if a faint mist shrouded the brows, lingering, "but this situation has been going on for two months, and I always feel a little uneasy if it goes on like this!" ”

If this continues, it always feels like something bad is going to happen!

"Don't think about it, isn't this the result of His Majesty's wise rule? Otherwise, how can ordinary people like us afford bicycles? Aiko slowly stretched out her hands in the warm quilt and gently hugged Kazuto from behind, "His Majesty the Emperor is very benevolent!" ”

"......" Kazuto was silent for a while, and then issued a reply that agreed with Aiko's point of view, "Hmm! ”

Then he closed his eyes, which were already bloodshot from exhaustion.

"His Majesty the Emperor is very kind to ordinary people like us, how could he do something to hurt us!"

……

The tears of the ice god turned into a flowing galaxy, and the splashes of water streaked across the dead night sky, and we are always bound by the ordinary in our ordinary lives.

……

On the outskirts of Fuyuki City, Fuyuki Church.

At this time, it was directly below the huge blood-red wormhole, and this phenomenon would only think that it must be dazzling if it seemed to ordinary people. But it does exist here, and the strange light is sprinkled, and the already slightly old winter wood church against the background is also extremely weird!

The air purified by the surrounding plants is so fresh that it is impossible to breathe, as if time has frozen here, even though the temperature shows no signs of dropping below zero degrees Celsius.

Suddenly, a brilliant scarlet light broke through the roof of the church and flew into the sky, disappearing into the huge wormhole in the sky. The wormhole was suddenly impacted, and in this quiet and oppressive night sky, it first stood still and churned for a while, and then, the surging blood-red magma gushed out of the wormhole, swallowing the entire Dongmu Church in an instant and then swept away in all directions, just like the rolling Yangtze River in ancient China, churning and roaring ** this fragile land.

The scorching magma seemed to ignite even the air, and not far away, in Fuyuki City, most people were still asleep, unaware of the danger.

……

Dance garden clothes spring home.

"Aiko, Aiko, wake up!"

And people gently push the sleeping Aiko.。

"What's wrong!"

Aiko looked at Kazuto with slightly angry red eyes, although she was woken up in the middle of the night, but she understood that Kazuto would not wake him up for no reason, so she hoped that Kazuto would give her a reasonable answer.

"Did you hear any strange noises?"

Seeing Aiko's black angry eyes, Kazuto hurriedly said.

"Huh?" Aiko listened to it for a while...... He said, "There are no strange sounds! ”

Aiko obviously didn't understand what Kazuto meant, but she seemed to hear the faint sound of the river rushing just now, and when she saw that Kazuto was still distressed, she said, "Kazuto, I seem to have heard ...... just now."

The words were not finished, but they could not be said any more, and in the eyes of Kazuto, who had never been cloudy, Aiko's gentle and quiet face quickly turned black and turned into dust! The originally dark hut was illuminated by the fire.

"Aiko ......" and people didn't have time to grieve, they immediately raised their heads and stretched their necks to look at the room of Yichun in the dance garden, opened their mouths, but a trace of sound came out, and the next moment, there was a fiery red in front of them, and then a warm darkness collapsed!

"Yichun, run!"

The Great Kanto Earthquake, also known as the Great Tokyo Earthquake, was an earthquake that occurred on the Kanto Plain in Japan at 11:58 a.m. on September 1, 1923 (Taisho 12).
