After a nap at home, Takeshita Kusaka didn't feel too nostalgic, but walked out of the house to the bus stop without hesitation and took a bus back to the rental house in Edogawa Ward. Sitting in a window position on the left side of the back seat, the reason why he likes it here is that he can see the miniature world in the car. I saw a middle-aged man dressed as an office worker with a tired face, his hands crossed in front of his chest, his head drooping, and his eyes closed.

In order to survive, to dream, to make money...... Many people have to live outside the main city, and even spend three or four hours on the road because the monthly rent can be cheap, so that they can save on the cost of living. Although Tokyo is the first city in Asia, the second city in the world, one of the cities with the fastest economic development and wealth, and the center of all kinds of things and that, it does not mean that it is a paradise on earth. More than 10 million people are gathered in Tokyo, and more than 30 million people are pan-to-Tokyo metropolitan area, which shows that the competition between people without gunpowder is not fierce, but fierce.

On the streets of Tokyo, there are many men and women lying on benches, lying on the ground, and so on. Although it is very safe, it is also the number one city in the world for suicide and death from overwork. The reason for this lies in all kinds of invisible pressures, pressures, pressures, and once people can't bear it, they can only go to the road of no return to God.

At 4:30 p.m., after spending nearly two hours on Takeshita Kusaoke, I walked up to the third floor of the apartment building, and at a glance I saw Kayo Kirishima squatting at the door. He was already surprised, and there was no need to ask her specifically, and he knew that the other party must be Ma Daha's who left the key to the house inside, and when he passed by him, he did not stop for a short time and said: "Go and sit with me!" ”

Kayo Kirishima, who got up from the ground, came and went with him, two and three...... Gradually, I became familiar with the road. The relationship between the two is not only neighbors, but also the most ordinary friends. She followed behind Takeshita Kusaoke, grinning, and walked into his room with her front and back feet.

Kayo Kirishima, who was no longer tied to him, took the initiative to find the remote control of the air conditioner that was resting on the low square table, and turned it on directly. Suddenly feeling the cold breeze blowing on her face, she raised her head to meet the cold air blown by the air conditioner, and said in a very comfortable "um" voice: "It's best to stay indoors." ”

Thinking that she didn't call the door as before, she couldn't help but smile and said: "Why is your memory so bad, you can often shut yourself out." I'm not home today, and you're sure to be outside in the sweltering heat. ”

Turning to face him and smiling awkwardly, Kirishima Kayo, who was very helpless, felt a lot cooler, and then slowly knelt down and said, "Today, where did you go?" ”

Takeshita Kusaoke, who did not tell the truth that he had gone to Waseda Elementary School to attend his daughter's opening ceremony and other things, sat down cross-legged at a reasonable distance from her, and smiled, "Of course, I went out to work part-time to make money." Otherwise, I'll have to sleep on the streets and drink the northwest wind. ”

Kayo Kirishima, who knows that people like them are under pressure to survive in Tokyo, will not doubt his words. Even if he exaggerated, it didn't prevent her from believing that Takeshita Kusa had gone out to make a living. Perhaps, he went to the publishing house to submit the manuscript or something.

"It's worse than miserable, are you as miserable as me? You're living alone in such a big place, and I'm crammed into a room of the exact same size with my sister. To be honest, I sometimes really think that I should either be a refugee in an Internet café or live in a capsule apartment. In this way, I can save some more money to buy clothes and eat good things with my friends in AKB48......" Kayo Kirishima flashed in his mind, and he felt the hardships of life at a young age, and he said with a blank expression.

Hearing the sound of the outside of the strings, it is not difficult to speculate that it is precisely because of her small income and tight money that she cannot spend without pressure with her partners at AKB48. Knowing that if you don't fit in in Japanese culture, you will be ostracized, and he saw the troubles of Kayo Kirishima and said, "Are you in urgent need of money?" I don't have much here, but it's okay to lend it to you. ”

Kayo Kirishima, who has been struggling with whether to open his mouth to ask him to borrow money, is quite surprised, after all, he can understand his own thoughts. After being silent for a few seconds, she looked carefully at Takeshita Kusao's face, her expression was full of embarrassment, and she whispered, "If you can, can you lend me 10,000 yen?" I promise to wait until the end of this month and pay you back as soon as I send the money. ”

10,000 yen is not a thing for the current Takeshita Kusaoke. He didn't like to use his wallet, so he took out the money from his right trouser pocket, and took out 10,000 yen from it and put it flat in front of her. Don't ask Kirishima Kayo what to make Takeshita Kusaoke, the reason why she is so happy is not just because she has money and doesn't care, but she really treats her as an ordinary friend. This lending money to a friend for emergency relief is completely a matter of course and effort.

Kayo Kirishima lifted the 10,000 yen pair in both hands, and said with relief: "I don't have to lose face in front of them." ”

Takeshita Kusaoke, who didn't speak and continued to be silent, it was not difficult to guess what kind of party they had that needed to be spent on AA money. Once it is proposed by a senior superior at work, it will become a kind of communication and entertainment that has to be done. If you don't go, it means that you will be isolated from everyone and fall into the situation where you are most likely to be isolated in the future, and you will suddenly become a negative topic in their mouths. ridicule, ridicule, ridicule...... Surely there will be no less.

Kayo Kirishima, who had collected the 10,000 yen banknote, suddenly asked seriously: "Takeshita-kun, what do you think of love, marriage, and family?" ”

Discussing such a problem with such a seventeen-year-old underage girl in front of him, Takeshita Kusaoke, I couldn't help but have some fun in my heart. I saw that she asked seriously, and I was embarrassed to laugh with a hippie smile, so I told him his truest thoughts at the moment: "Love is poison, marriage is a shackle, and family is a harbor." ”
