Chapter 51: Retribution (2)
That's pretty much what happened, and then the war ended quickly, and Nakamura and I went back to Japan and lived a normal life, but I never forgot about it, and Nakamura and I should have died in that tent because we were involved in the massacre, and even though we were far away in Japan, I always felt that the person would always follow me, and I even felt like I was walking down the street several times, and there were people following me.
We were in a panic all day long, almost every night to get drunk, give up on ourselves, and think about suicide, but time gradually passed, Nakamura and I did not suffer retribution, and then we got married one after another, and we both had our own families, and we slowly got rid of this shadow.
But then more than ten years ago, the Adams cruise ship that Nakamura was traveling on was sunk, and it is said that the cause was the fire of the cruise ship, and I couldn't help but think of that incident again, and I was shocked, that person really came, and he has been alive for so many years.
So in the years since, I almost stayed at home, until Apricot was born, my family was suddenly full of happiness and laughter, maybe because of the affection, Yuriko and I got closer, the lovely apricots made me feel unprecedented warmth, people like me can be so content in their old age, plus my illness is getting worse and worse, I am no longer afraid of that person, if he appears in front of me, I am not afraid, but, I didn't expect that it was my whole family, Apricot.... Apricot She is only five years old, why didn't this retribution for killing a thousand knives come at me, I have lived enough for so many years, but what's wrong with Apricot? And Yuriko, my poor daughter, our relationship has finally changed for the better, and I haven't had time to make up for the mistakes I made to her in my childhood, damn retribution!
Ahem, I'm sorry, I'm so out of shape, what? Comfort woman.... Well, well, since you asked, I'll tell you.
We searched the station after we had wiped out the Soviets that day, and found a Japanese woman in one of the tents, she was a comfort woman, it is said that the Soviets did not violate her, but she was violated by us, and now I think it's a little ironic, we are not even as good as the enemy.
We stood in line outside the tent and went in turn, because there are regulations that there must be safety measures for the comfort women in our country, but there are only four condoms, and one of us will be disqualified, after the lottery, that person is me, I am not a saint, and I also have physical needs, so I am extremely painful in my heart, fortunately, Nakamura, who went in at the end, was not feeling well and came out again as soon as he entered, and gave me the unused condom, I am very grateful, we all have court appearance records for these things, and we have archives, you must find out.
How did Yuriko's mother die? Well... She didn't die in a fire, she died too weak after giving birth to Yuriko, what? How do you know?
Well, yes, my wife did get this disease, but she got this disease for the country! Because my wife was the comfort woman of this group, she was too weak to give birth to Yuriko and died.
Yes, Yuriko was conceived because of the night in the station, and when I entered the tent that day, I found that the light in the room was very dark, and she was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, so I had a crooked thought, I didn't use a condom, no one would know anyway, but I didn't expect that she got pregnant later, so I married her, and that's how it happened.
I really wasn't a person in charge, maybe because my family died in Hiroshima, and I decided to start a family with her out of a desire for affection, but she left after giving birth, and it was a big blow to me.
Well.... This one... That's right, this photo is a picture of my wife, that one .... This.... This.. Why do you have this picture.... How is this possible?
I was interviewed because of my righteousness and bravery.
At this point, I confess that I have killed all people, and there is no retribution, they are all killed by me.
That day in the tent, I was resting next to her after the incident, she opened her eyes slightly and looked at me, suddenly looked at me with wide eyes and surprise, she pointed to the birthmark on my neck and asked me if my name was Okamura Tatsuto, I nodded, she cried, cried fiercely, I asked her what was wrong? She cried and said, "You really don't remember?" When you were seven years old, you had a fourteen-year-old sister who volunteered to join the army, but in fact the government lied to us, and we actually went to be comfort women, Liren, I am your own sister, what did we just do!
So as you can imagine, these two pictures are of the same person, my sister is also my wife, and I was shocked to hear the team members outside the tent laughing about my sister, and in a fit of rage I killed them, and you took a bayonet and stabbed them in the mouth in the same cruel way as before, and then burned them, because Nakamura did not violate my sister and I let him go, plus I had saved Nakamura before, and he promised to hide the truth for me.
My sister was too hard to testify in court because she was hit too hard afterwards.
Originally, things were precipitated like this, but I was found to have serious cancer, and not long ago I needed to exchange blood, because the blood bank was not enough, Yuriko had a blood transfusion at the first time, but the doctor told me that Yuriko... Not my child.
I was shocked, this is impossible, only I didn't use a condom that night, I suddenly woke up, there is another useless, Nakamura! This damn beast, this damn premature/ejaculating ghost! It's a pity that he died in a shipwreck more than ten years ago, and I was jealous and angry, and I killed the Yuriko family, stabbed these damned Nakamura descendants in the mouths with a watermelon knife, and burned them.
That's the way it is, I've told you everything, there is no retribution, no, maybe the whole thing itself is retribution, retribution for us blood-stained invaders!
Hahahaha.... No one will survive, you are also the descendants of the invaders, and you will also die! Hahaha...... Hahaha......
End
The old man stood up, bowed respectfully to me, and then walked slowly, and disappeared into the darkness, and I could not imagine that such a kind person could so cruelly kill people who lived under the same roof, even if they were not related by blood, but they were also people who had lived for so many years.
I am not suitable to evaluate history, right and wrong have already been concluded, people, sometimes we should let go of the past and welcome a new future.
I picked up my pen and wrote down the name of the story in this chapter – Retribution.
