314. Shingoro Hayata
"Didi, Didi, Didi......"
A rapid mobile phone alarm rang, smoothly waking up Shingoro Hayata, who was still asleep a second.
"Uh......" Hayada opened his eyes with some difficulty, and the already harsh sunlight made him subconsciously close his eyes again, and only when he was completely accustomed to the light did he officially open his eyes.
He turned off the vibrating phone alarm and looked up at the clock hanging on the wall above the bedroom door, where the hour and minute hands were pointing exactly at the center of "12", which seemed to be exactly 12 o'clock at noon.
However, even though it is already three poles in the morning, for Shingoro Hayata, who usually gets up at two o'clock in the afternoon, this is already a rare early waking up for him.
Shingoro Hayata, 35 years old, is unmarried and lives in Tokyo, Japan.
Since the death of his parents a few years ago, Shingoro Hayada has lived alone in the house left by his parents, and has hardly communicated with the outside world.
And when he stayed at home, he naturally didn't have a serious job that he could handle, so he could only rely on the savings he left over from the past and government subsidies to survive.
Fortunately, Japan's welfare system is good, and even without a formal job, Shingoro Hayada can survive without starvation...... Of course, there is no need to be strict about the quality of life or anything, but he doesn't seem to care about that.
And he was naturally labeled as an "abandoned house" by other relatives and friends who had contact with him before, and over time, there was no relationship with him.
But that's fine, at least that's what Hayada himself thinks - for him, being able to organize his own time is more important than anything else.
The reason why Hayata, who gets up at two o'clock in the afternoon on average every day, makes an exception today to "get up early" at twelve o'clock at noon is because at half past twelve o'clock today, the famous Japanese game company CAPCOM (Capcom) will launch this year's company's latest masterpiece "Monster Hunter: Universe" in the form of a press conference on time, and this press conference is also broadcast live throughout the whole process.
As a deep game nerd, Hayata, who relies on major games almost all day long, naturally won't let go of this press conference, so he went to bed "early" at about 3 o'clock in the morning last night, and set an alarm clock for 12 o'clock tomorrow noon......
Hayata's hair was a little greasy, and there was some faint dandruff between the hairs, but Hayada didn't seem to have any intention of washing it at all, so he just walked to the bathroom, wiped his face casually, and then opened the refrigerator in the living room, and took out a cheap rice ball that he bought at the convenience store downstairs yesterday, and he didn't heat it, so he ate the cold rice ball one bite at a time, and this was his lunch today.
Hayata, who was still biting half a rice ball in his mouth, looked at the clock on the wall, and after only a few moments, it was already a quarter past twelve.
I turned on the old TV, which had been looking at the appearance for some years, and switched to the press conference station, where another noon show was being played because the time had not yet come.
Three men appeared on the TV screen, the one standing in the middle was clearly the presenter, and to his left was an elderly middle-aged man, about fifty years old...... On the right-hand side is a young man in his twenties.
"In recent years, Japan's economy has been declining, and the employment situation is not optimistic, what does Echizen think is the reason for this general trend?" The moderator asked the older man.
Talk shows...... Shingoro Hayada took a bite of the cold rice ball and thought silently in his heart.
"What else could be the reason? Isn't it because Japan's young people are not doing well that Japan's economy is not doing well now? The elderly Mr. Echizen said indignantly: "I don't want to find a way to have a good relationship with my colleagues and integrate into the group, and I never work overtime, and I know that I am addicted to anime and games all day long, and I don't have the motivation that young people should have!" As a junior, some people who don't know how to be polite actually start to use different honorifics! ”
"If it's just uneducated, even the personal ability can't be compared with the elderly! The professional skills are a mess, and the eyes are low! I talk about my dreams all day long, but I can't even do my job in a down-to-earth manner! ”
"It's hard to do things without hair...... So, Japan's relaxed generation just can't do it! ”
"Hey! Old man, you show me a little respect! The young man was obviously very angry with Echizen's mean evaluation: "After all, isn't most of the social resources still in the hands of you elderly people?" Not to mention the rigid and old-fashioned system of seniority, it is precisely because of your terminally ill collectivism that is prevalent in today's Japanese society, and Japan's economy will stagnate. ”
"Read the air (atmosphere) when you eat, and read the air (atmosphere) when you work...... One board and one eye, all of them have to do things according to the rules, just because there are so many rigid old people like you in this society, and we capable young people can't get ahead!"
"The twenty-first century is the age of the individual! You old immortals who have no personality are the real chronic diseases that hinder Japan's economic progress. ”
"Hey! Stinky boy, how can you talk to the elderly! ”
"How? If you want to fight, come on! The young man shouted, and he almost rolled up his sleeves and started to move.
The host looked at the two people who were tense and quietly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead: "Calm down, calm down!" ”
During the whole process of watching the show, Hayada just nibbled on the rice balls in his hand with a blank face, as if neither of the two points of view had any feelings for him, and in fact it was......
He just wanted to hurry up to half-past twelve, so that the Monster Hunter World press conference could start immediately.
But before the press conference began, the TV, which had some fluctuations in the picture, suddenly stopped working......
"What are you doing......" Looking at the TV set in front of him, Hayada patted the TV shell vigorously, but it didn't get better at all.
"Really...... This knot is broken. Hayada reluctantly returned to his bedroom, turned on the computer, and had no choice but to watch the live webcast, hoping that the delay would not be too serious.
Ding Dong –
At this moment, the long-lost doorbell made Hayada stunned.
How long has it been?
How long has it been since your doorbell has ringed?
"Who's coming to me?" Hayada muttered a little confused, but walked to the entrance and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was an aunt who looked to be in her fifties, with an extremely uncomfortable smirk on her face all the time, holding a leaflet and saying to Shingoro Hayata, who opened the door:
"Friend, do you know the 'Heavenly Fire Sect'?"
