Chapter 8: The Arcade I Saw
There was a light rain outside the house, and Lin Yan, who was sleeping with the window open, felt cold, woke up, closed the window, and continued to sleep.
――
"Boss, the car is gone." Ishida knocked on the door and said.
The boss of Kagawa was holding a copy of "The Tale of the Thief of the Country" by Ryotaro Sima, wearing reading glasses, and the old god was reading it. Seeing Ishida coming in, he put down his book and said, "Well, it's good, you're ready to go to Taiwan." ”
"Boss, didn't I go to Hong Kong...... How did you go to Taiwan...... Taiwan, isn't Uncle Matsuo going......" Ishida said intermittently.
Just now, Kagawa's boss told him that when he asked him to go to Taiwan, he thought that he had remembered wrong, didn't he go to Hong Kong? After asking Uncle Matsuo, he was sure that he was not mistaken.
"This ......"
Boss Kagawa put down his reading glasses and said slowly.
"Recently, it has been said that China wants to reunify Hong Kong, and it is quite chaotic right now. Moreover, they don't eat our Japanese, they just like to follow the butts of the British. So, I thought, Hong Kong will give up for the time being, and try it in Taiwan first. If it's good, it's not too late to start a business in Hong Kong. Don't worry, Ishida, you're still young, and there are plenty of opportunities. ”
"Over there in Taiwan, I'll go with Uncle Matsuo?" Ishida continued to ask.
"Well, you two can just leave the day after tomorrow, I've already arranged it over there in Taiwan. When you go out, you say that you will get off work today, and you have worked hard for everyone. Boss Kagawa put on his reading glasses again, picked up the book and said.
"yes, got it." Ishida said. In his heart, he was actually a little happy. Because if you go to Taiwan, you will be accompanied by Uncle Matsuo, and you will not be too scared in a foreign country.
He went out to announce the end of work, and the old employees began to methodically pack up all kinds of things, seal the chemicals, and pull the machine's electric switch open.
Then again, the efficiency of their small workshop. It's even higher than the big factory that Dongli built. That's the small benefit.
――
Lin Yanmeng continues, just like a serialized TV series, yesterday was the first episode, and today is the second episode.
Lin Yan is also familiar with this dream. He thought that this was his dream, and he should be able to control the dream. So, an order was given. Sure enough, as Lin Yan expected, those four people seemed to have sensed something. began to mumble and study.
There are too few people...... Can there be more?
Lin Yan thought so, and after a special effect sound of "whoosh", two newcomers really appeared.
There are too many people, and the ship is starved of oxygen...... Lin Yan issued such an order. The original four, as well as the two new arrivals, received the order again.
Of the six people, only five survived.
The dream continues.
Tokyo, Arakawa-ku, someone was dreaming, suddenly asthmatic, sudden.
――
Early morning. Lin Yan woke up.
He pushed open the window, opening everything that was wet outside. I suddenly remembered such a sentence, every ordinary day we spend may be a miracle that continues to happen.
It's a miracle, maybe.
Lin Yan remembered the person who died in his dream.
Go to school, go to class. Lin Yan rarely listened carefully, read the texts carefully, wrote his homework seriously, and participated in club activities seriously.
"Mayou." Lin Yan exclaimed after trying hard for a while.
"Huh? What's wrong Yanjun? Mayu put down the paintbrush and turned his head to ask Lin Yan behind her.
Lin Yan looked at her hard work. I think it's too inhumane to burden her again. He said, "It's all right......
Mayou by the river stared at Lin Yan's expression and looked at it carefully for a while. Only then did I say "oh". Turning back, she continued to draw hers.
"Little Chubby Dun, are you painting?" Lin Yan leaned over to the little fat dun and asked.
Little chubby, little chubby, although it is called like this, but the size of the little chubby dun. I've lost a lot of weight. It's strange to work day and night, and it's strange that you don't lose weight.
"Huh? Something? Little Chubby raised his head, and there was not much sparkle in his eyes.
"Well, there's something. Can I trouble you with one thing? Although Lin Yan felt that the little chubby dun was also very pitiful. However, it was impossible not to trouble him. Because, he knows people who can draw, and they are Mayou and Little Fat Dun. You can't let him go to the art club to continue robbing people. He's not Chiba Yuki, and he can't do it, that kind of crazy and lawless thing.
"I'll do it!" Mayou by the river coldly took out the manuscript that Lin Yan was holding in his hand, and flipped through the pages one by one.
"Drawing stories, I'm the best at it." Mayu Riverside said as he watched.
Lin Yan looked at Mayou, who took away his manuscript, looking at her demeanor, wanting to be angry but unable to get angry, he asked, "What stories have you painted?" ”
"Hmm...... Wait, I'll look for ......" Mayou by the river heard Lin Yan's question, and really went to look for it.
"I didn't take much today, that's all, Yanjun, take a look." After Mayou Riverside told Lin Yan the manuscript, he clasped his hands behind his back, and said in a few women's voices.
"Well, I'll take a look." Lin Yan was also a little curious about what a guy like Mayu by the river who was off the line all day would draw.
Turning over the blank paper covered on the first page, Lin Yan saw a familiar person. Who is this little pleasing person?
Lin Yan flipped through another four or five pages before he remembered, oh, it was me who drew it.
"What are you painting me for?" Lin Yan asked.
Mayu by the river grinned and said, "Because you're cute." ”
"Okay......" Lin Yan's heart almost collapsed. He read this pile hastily, similar to comics, his daily life day by day. Many small details that I didn't pay attention to were drawn on paper one by one by Mayu by the river and solidified.
"What do you do every day?" There was a bunch of black lines on Lin Yan's head.
"Hee Hee ......" by the river, Mayou is fishing in troubled waters, selling cuteness. She raised the manuscript in her hand and said, "Then I'll go draw this......"
“……”
Lin Yan was speechless and watched Mayou by the river and sat back in his seat.
"It's all right...... I won't bother you......" Lin Yan said to the little chubby dun in front of him.
The little chubby dun who had lost some weight lowered his head and pursed the corners of his mouth, why did he do nothing every day, and there were so many girls around him?
Little Fat Dun was drawing heroes and thinking in his heart, but after thinking about it, he found that he couldn't figure it out.
Lin Yan put away the sketch in his hand, not to collect it, but to destroy him when he returned home.
After a while of serious work, I left school.
On his way home, when he passed by Yamazaki's repair shop, he saw an arcade machine outside...... (To be continued.) )
