"Originally, the elevator was said to be inside the tower, but since no one knew how to use it, this one was built as a replacement." Kanazawa said as he stood in a huge iron cage.

"How? Can it still be used? The boy looked at the rusted elevator that looked like it hadn't been used for a long time.

"This must have been made by people almost a hundred years ago!" Kanazawa continued to work on the dashboard.

"It's been a long time." Yuri said with a sigh.

"How did people build this elevator in the past without knowing how to use it in the tower?" The boy looked up at the towering tower and sighed.

"Sa! Who knows. ”

There was a boom, and only a few sounds that seemed to be the operation of the motor were heard.

"It's okay, it still works." Kanazawa turned his head and said with a smile.

"Go on, go on!" Yuri is guiding the half-track backwards into the elevator.

"Kanazawa, although I don't want to think in that direction, this thing............ It shouldn't break down halfway, right? The boy looked carefully at the elevator and asked Kanazawa.

"I don't know much about this, after all, the age of this elevator is a long time ago, and no one can guarantee what will happen!"

"Fubo-chan, don't worry, let's figure out something when the time comes!" Yuri said.

"That's optimistic." Kanazawa sighed.

"This guy is just too optimistic, so optimistic that his brain is not very good." As he spoke, Chido finally drove the car into the elevator completely.

"Hey, hey." Yuri blushed and giggled.

"Well! After all, this is the only way to get to the top! Although Xiao Qian on the side was also worried, he was helpless.

“………… Never mind! As Yuri said, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. I'm sure we shouldn't be so unlucky. The boy said and stepped into the elevator.

"So, I'm starting to start." Kanazawa pressed the switch, and with a bang, the elevator door slammed shut, and the entire elevator began to move slowly upward.

"I guess maybe I won't be short of food if I go up." Yuri said as she stood on the edge of the elevator and looked at the scenery outside the elevator.

"Well! Although we are not very short of food now, the time to reach the top is far away, so we still need to be prepared. The boy said as he helped Chito with weak feet inside the elevator.

"There are a lot of people who live happily there." Yuri said optimistically.

The elevator slowly rose, and the scenery outside came into view with the afterglow of the sunset, and as the position continued to change, the city under their feet gradually showed them its full picture.

"Wow~~ It's amazing!" Yuri said excitedly as she looked at the building that was getting smaller and smaller in her eyes.

"Haaah~~≥_≤" Listening to Yuri's words, Chido made a frightened sound while the two tremblers came to the side of the elevator accompanied by the boy.

"It's so high!" Yuri sighed.

"Continuing from the previous topic, there are indeed few places left on this level where you can find food, and the places where fuel and drinking water are being supplied are constantly decreasing. But that's just my speculation! Kanazawa snapped a picture of the city below.

"Is this a digital camera?" The boy looked at the machine in Kanazawa's hand and said curiously.

"Ahh This one? Yes! With that, Kanazawa handed the camera to the boy.

"HUH~~IS THIS WHAT IS CALLED CAMERA?" Qianhu looked at the machine that the boy took over and asked curiously.

"Well! That's fine. Kanazawa said as he took out a cigarette and lit it.

“…… Roar~ It can take more than 500,000 photos, it's really an amazing technology! The boy said as he fumbled with the machine in his hand.

"Ah~~"

With the vibration of the elevator, Qianhu remembered again that he was still afraid of heights.

"Chi-chan! Doesn't it matter? ”

"It's okay!" Chino's trembling tone revealed the fear in his heart.

"Are you afraid of heights?" Kanazawa asked curiously.

"Why isn't there a barbed wire fence?"

"Isn't the view beautiful?"

"I guess it's a waste of material!" Kanazawa said as he took the cigarette in his mouth and took the camera handed over by the young man.

"What if the elevator falls crooked! Just rely on these railings............" Qianhu said excitedly.

"How can it be so easy to skew............"

"Yuri, don't put up a flag............" The young man suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

At this moment, the elevator suddenly shook and began to tilt to the side.

"Ahh Crooked! Yuri and Kanazawa said at the same time.

"Kanazawa, stop!" The boy shouted hurriedly.

"Ugh!" Kanazawa immediately pulled down the emergency switch.

"Ahh At this time, Chino, who was paralyzed on the ground, shouted when he saw the satchel that was sliding down the slope.

"My map!" Kanazawa rushed out and tried to grab the strap of the satchel.

"Stupid!" Chiho and Yuri on the side hurriedly hugged one of Kanazawa's legs to prevent him from falling to the ground like a falling map.

"Let me go............ Throw me down too! Kanazawa said in despair as he looked at the falling paper.

"How can this work?" The girls said at the same time as they pulled Kanazawa into the elevator.

"Sorry! That's all I got here. The boy held his satchel in both hands and said to Kanazawa, who was pulled up.

When Kanazawa pounced on the satchel just now, the boy also quickly pounced outward, grabbing the railing with both hands and barely hooking the strap of the satchel with his toes, but a large number of drawn maps still spilled out of the opening of the satchel.

"Why is there no barbed wire?" Kanazawa held his satchel, which had only a few maps left, and muttered repeatedly.

"I guess it's a waste of material!" Yuri replied with what she had just heard.

"Everyone will die anyway, and there is no point in living." After Kanazawa said this, it was like a puppet that didn't move.

"Let's take a look at the track!"

"Is it repaired?"

"I'll take a look at .................."

The girls and teenagers began to try to solve the problem.

"Luckily, I can continue to do so!"

Yuri looked at the sky that was already completely dark, and said that they were already standing at the top of the communication tower.

"If I keep stopping like that, I don't know what to do." Qianhu said fearfully.

"It's getting dark!" The boy said.

"However, he still looks very lost!" Chiho turned his head to look at Kanazawa, who was silent, and said.

"Na! Kanazawa ............"

The sudden onset of street lamps interrupted Yu's words.

"Streetlights............ Still alive? ”

"Is there anything in that brightest place?" The girls were so moved to look at the streetlights that twinkled like stars.

"Kanazawa, this is for you!" Yuri took out a metal box from a side pocket and handed it to Kanazawa.

"Onigiri made with floating wave sauce, red bean flavored."

"Even if it doesn't make sense, once in a while good things happen."

"Even if it's such a world?"

"Probably! Look how beautiful the scenery is! ”

Kanazawa took the lunch box, which contained two cylindrical rice balls.

"No!" The young man on the side handed a cup of freshly brewed tea to Kanazawa, and then divided his rice ball into one and gave it to Yuri, and the thousand households on the side also took out one from their lunch box and handed it to Yuri!

"Delicious!" Kanazawa took out a rice ball and subconsciously took a bite.

"Right! The best thing made with floating wave sauce! ”

"Yuri is a glutton! Originally, there were three of them per person, but when I got them, I couldn't help but eat one. The boy quipped.

"Hey, hey! Thank you! Yuri smiled and took the cup handed by the boy, and ate the rice ball.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

"That's right! To thank you for sharing my food, please take this camera! Kanazawa said, taking off the camera from his neck and handing it to the boy, they said.

"Can you really take it?" The boy stopped talking.

“……………… It's okay! Use it as you like! The intolerance in Kanazawa's eyes made the boy accept the gift.

"That............ Please wait a moment. ”

The boy hurriedly ran to the half-track car, took something out of his backpack and tinkered with it............

"That! This is my farewell gift. The boy said as he handed over a locket box.

"This is ..................," Kanazawa took in confusion.

"Open it up and take a look! Because I don't have a lot of energy, I can only make this for you! The boy said apologetically.

"It's!" When Kanazawa opened it, his body shook suddenly.

"Thank you...... Thank you! Large tears slipped from the corners of his eyes............

"Thank you so much!" Kanazawa bowed and left under the watchful eyes of the boy and girl.

"Ukiba-chan! What did you give Kanazawa just now? Yuri asked curiously.

"What is Sa~~?" The boy didn't answer.

"Tell me about it!" Yuri continued.

"That's it! Chinohe, it's time for us to go, after all, we have to start planning for our next residence! The boy handed the camera to Chinohe and jumped onto the car.

"Oh! All right. Chido hung the camera around his neck and returned.

"Na! Yuri is not hurrying, and we are leaving. ”

"Wait for me~~~"

"So............ Let's go! Chido waited for Yuri to sit down and started the car.

Suddenly~~ With the familiar sound of the engine, the car continued to move towards the road on the other side.

"Na! Will we meet Kanazawa again? ”

"Well! I guess there's no chance. ”

"It's okay! As long as you live, there will always be a chance to see each other again. The boy said with a smile.

……………… On the other side of the road, Kanazawa was walking alone with a satchel containing solid food and the remaining drawings.

"Where can you go on two legs?"

"But ............," Kanazawa looked at his chest.

He carefully opened the ornament box hanging around his neck---- inside was a photograph: a woman and a man standing side by side, the woman's face was full of happy smiles, and the man looked exactly like Kanazawa's...............

"I feel like I'm going to have the motivation to move forward again." He closed the box and walked forward with a determined step.
