Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the search and rescue was officially declared a failure.

Later, a professional rescue team contacted by the Maritime Safety Agency from nearby countries also arrived and dispatched seaplanes for search and rescue, and searched the nearby waters and reefs several times, but found nothing.

Shipwrecks happen from time to time, not to mention that the sinking of "Explorer 3" is not alarming in society, and not even a single tofu block is mixed in the newspaper, and the impact is about equal to nothing - it is impossible to mobilize the crowd in order to find these people, and they must see people alive or dead.

What's more, the people in distress are more hopeful than anyone else to be saved, and when they have a respite, they will inevitably start fires and smoke, fire flares, or leave "SOS" and other marks on the beach heights.

The Dongying Maritime Safety Agency happily issued a notice of shipwreck, and entered the public announcement period of death for three months. If the person does not return within three months, he can apply to the court for a formal declaration of death, and the family should receive insurance and claim for compensation.

Nana Hoshino has been hiding in the middle of the floor, refusing to accept reality. The pain of losing her mother is already unbearable, and she has been dependent on Uesugi Xiang since she was a child, and her relationship is extremely strong, and it feels similar to half of the sky falling.

Naoto Yoshiwara went to get a shipwreck notice for her, went through various procedures, and attended a meeting at the private Upper East University. Upper East University felt that it was impossible for the boatman to survive, and it was better to deal with this kind of matter sooner than later, so it began to gather family members early to discuss how to deal with follow-up matters.

Of course, if you really want to give money, you have to wait until the court declares you officially dead.

Uesugi Xiang and others were killed in the line of duty, and the school can deal with it according to the regulations, and there is also insurance, which is not a trouble, but the trouble is the compensation of the three graduate students.

Although Naoto Yoshihara went, he just watched the crowd discuss and didn't say a word.

All kinds of disturbances, noisy and noisy, and when I got home in the afternoon, I saw Miki Momomiya sitting on the tatami mat in a daze. She has been in a mess these days, distracted while washing dishes, and even stepped on water stains and slipped and twisted her ankle, fortunately, it was not the injured leg that was not healed again, but she could only sit for two more days.

She blamed herself so much that she felt that she would only cause trouble to others, and she couldn't help at all, and she was really a waste of waste.

She hadn't said a few words since she twisted her foot, which made the atmosphere in the house even more dreary, as if there were heavy dark clouds overhead.

Satsuki Yayoi was busy in the kitchen without changing her school uniform, she was determined to share the hardships with Hoshino Nana, although she was driven to school by Naoto Yoshihara, but as soon as she got out of school, she rushed to the kitchen and tried her best to get something delicious and digestible to feed Hoshino Nana.

She did a great help, much to the relief of Naoto Yoshiwara. A person usually doesn't have friends and can't see anything wrong, and it seems that being alone is fine, but if something really happens, there is a big difference between having friends or not.

Naoto Yoshihara didn't disturb Yayoi Satsuki's busyness, climbed directly to the half-floor, moved in with a short body, and saw that Nana Hoshino's delicate little face was already swollen, and the two fox eyes were even swollen into goldfish eyes, looking like cartoon characters, which was very funny, but at this moment, even Naoto Yoshihara couldn't laugh at a heartless thing.

He silently took out a white envelope from his pocket and put it in front of Nana Hoshino and said, "This is a consolation money from the university." ”

Each victim's family has one, and the money is not much, which is considered a temporary reassuring thing.

Hoshino Nana Kiran's eyes moved, looked at Naoto Yoshihara and said, "He didn't come." ”

"Who?"

"Uncle Ito, no...... Taisho Ito didn't come. ”

Naoto Yoshiwara was confused for a moment before remembering that Ito Daimasa was one of Uesugi's three assistants, and the other two who followed Uesugi were killed, and he was the one who stayed behind.

He hesitated for a moment and then said, "It's really strange that I haven't seen him in the past few days...... Why, do you want me to find him?"

Nana Hoshino's lips were chapped and her voice was hoarse: "No, he probably thinks that his mother can't come back, and the team is collapsed, so there's no point in coming here to take a look...... That's what you call human warmth, right?"

Yoshihara Naoto was silent, people go tea and cool, ancient and modern, nothing more than that.

Nana Hoshino is currently in a trance, and Naoto Yoshihara can't guess what is going on in her head, so she opened her mouth several times but couldn't find anything to say. Nana Hoshino slowly hugged her knees, looked at the floor for a moment, and suddenly asked, "What about you?"

Naoto Yoshihara was dumbfounded.

Nana Hoshino didn't care if he answered, and continued: "You should also think that my mother is gone, so you don't need to stay here and waste time, just go." ”

Naoto Yoshihara pondered for a moment, he hasn't been idle these days, he has thought about it a lot, but he didn't find a chance to say. He smiled a little helplessly and made up his mind: "You go back with me, and I will take care of you for your mother in the future." ”

When these words came out, he was relieved, thought about it again and said: "You don't have to have any psychological burden, study hard, and when you are an adult, you can find your own life, I will not restrain you, everything is up to you to choose...... When I go to a nursing home in the future, you can bring your children to see me occasionally, and it doesn't matter if you don't come. ”

Nana Hoshino looked at him stunned for a while, slowly shook her head, looked around and said slowly, "Thank you for your kindness, but this is my home, and I won't leave here." ”

Naoto Yoshihara has a comprehensive plan, planning to take Hoshino Nana back smuggling, get her a fake identity and change her name, call her the orphan of her distant cousin, and then send her to school, but I didn't expect Hoshino Nana to refuse - Uesugi Xiang's family was originally sparsely populated, and there were basically no close relatives, and distant relatives had not been in touch for many years, so it was impossible for someone to reach out to help her, she wanted to live completely independently?

But how can things in the world be so simple......

"Even if you don't come with me, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay here. Yoshiwara Naoto thought about it and told the truth, "You're not an adult, I'm afraid you'll be on the orphan list in three months, and you'll probably be placed in a boarding family at your age, so it's better to go with me than to be with someone who doesn't know whether it's good or bad." Moreover, the mortgage on this house has not been repaid, even if you can repay the loan with your mother's insurance money, you still have to go to college, go to college, and have to eat and wear...... Your mother has no savings, and even if you save money and barely survive with that money, it will be difficult for you to reach adulthood, and even if you can survive adulthood, you will not be able to get a good education. Hoshino, I have a good relationship with your mother, so there's no need to force myself!"

Nana Hoshino still shook her head after hearing this, her small hand tightened the thin quilt in her hand, and she looked at Naoto Yoshihara, her eyes were misty, "You don't understand, I can't leave here...... This home is my memory palace, and all my memories are placed in this home like goods. You see that the back of the door is empty, but in my eyes there are fifty syllable diagrams, Huaxia Pinyin tables, you see only a few dozen books on the shelves, in my eyes it is a library-since I have memory, all the things I remember are closely related to everything in this house! The human brain is not unable to remember, it is impossible to remember when I want to use it, I look at the things in this house every day is to review everything in my memory, and I only need to look for anything at home...... I can't get out of here!"

After a pause, she looked at the confused expression on Naoto Yoshiwara's face, and she didn't have the heart to explain to him what a memory palace was, and then said lightly: "You all think that my mother can't come back, but I don't think so! Mom is still alive, she lives in my heart and my memory, everything in this house has her breath, I want to stay here with her! As long as I'm alive, as long as I'm here, my mother is fine!"

Naoto Yoshihara was stunned for a while, feeling that she was afraid that she was too sad, and she was a little crazy, and sighed: "But some things are not what you want to do, in fact, ......"

Nana Hoshino said with a firm look in her eyes: "No one can let me leave my house, no one!" After a pause, her eyes softened, and she bowed to Naoto Yoshiwara and said, "I know that you are for my good, I remember it, but I can't accept your kindness, please forgive me...... In the future, if you come to Tokyo again, my mother and I will entertain you again. ”

She saw that Naoto Yoshihara was about to open her mouth again, and shook her head again: "Don't persuade me anymore, you may think I'm mentally abnormal, so it doesn't matter...... When I was a child, my mother worked two odd jobs, and she had to be busy with school work, and she had to take care of me, sleeping less than four hours a day, with no days off, and no respite! I saw it in my eyes and vowed to be the most well-behaved daughter in the world, not to cause her trouble, not to be a burden to her, to be successful in my studies, to honor her in the future, to make her proud of me, and to let her be rewarded for all her efforts! Now, I am afraid that I will not be able to be filial...... Honor her, at least I can stay here with her! At least I can tell her here in the future - Mom, your efforts have not been in vain!"

Looking at Nana Hoshino at the end, the tears in her eyes that she was holding back, Naoto Yoshihara was speechless. He can still put up a lot of difficulties and reasons, but he can't say a word.

The son wants to raise but does not wait, and the regret of life is nothing more than this.
