"Why can't I come back?" Nanamiya's tone was soft, revealing a-for-tat: "I received an invitation. ”

This aura of Taishan collapsing in front of her and not changing her face is created by her experience of wandering alone in Tokyo over the years, and the-for-tat is derived from the previous origin-

When these two people were learning to paint, they actually didn't have a good relationship.

In his eyes, Nanamiya is too indulged in his own world, and he is a person who only has paintings, teachers, and himself in his eyes, and his peers are not counted among them.

is so withdrawn and does her own thing, although Kazuta knows that this is her freedom, but the relative relationship is definitely limited to duckweed.

"Eh, and brother! And Nanami, you two haven't seen each other for so many years, don't quarrel as soon as you meet! ”

Goto hurriedly pulled the frame in the middle, and his fat body was lying there, which was very effective.

It's just that he is looking at Kazuta more, and he doesn't want him to lose his temper on this occasion.

As for the night of the seven seas......

It was true that few people had a good relationship with her back then, and everyone was more like nodding friends.

Besides, there is a difference between men and women, how can the relationship be deep by the eldest brother, eat and live together?

"Kanae!" Kazuta looked at his wife, his tone was not as angry as he had just now, but he was still full of complaints: "Why do you send invitations to such people?" You should have consulted with me! ”

"I consulted with you earlier, can you agree?" Kanae glanced at him.

"She killed the teacher!"

"Grandma committed suicide." Kanae's tone was a little more serious, "If you yell at you again, go to the next table and sit down for me." ”

He Tai looked around, and indeed his slap just now attracted a lot of attention.

So he gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and lowered his voice, but the anger was undiminished, as if he had a fire in his throat.

He glared angrily at Nanami Night: "The teacher treats me like a mountain and treats me as my own, I don't ask you to honor her old man like me, but everyone sees how the teacher treats you...... How can you bear to watch the teacher struggle to death in front of you! ”

"After ten years, are you ready to settle accounts with me?" Nanami Ye raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you too slow to collect debts?" ”

Without waiting for Mrs. to speak, she continued: "I didn't explain this matter back then, because I escaped. It's really inappropriate to think about it now...... After all, I was young and ignorant at that time. But today I am glad that Kanae can give me this opportunity to stand here and say a word to you and my fellow disciples who regard me as an enemy, and I have no regrets. ”

"If I had to choose again, I would still watch the teacher die."

The heavy gasps grew heavier and heavier, and Goto hugged Kazuta tightly, for fear that he would be irrational.

"Why?"

After waiting for most of the day, the explosive barrel asked in a deep voice.

This was his last sanity.

Nanamiya was still very calm, and even took Himeno's hand, which was already frightened, to comfort her.

"Because it's the teacher's choice." Nanami Ye said, "The teacher and I are the same kind of people, I know very well. If I had been paralyzed in bed and could no longer paint, and the oxygen tube was at hand, maybe I would have made the same choice. ”

"You're also a painter, don't you understand this?" She looked up at Kazuta, obviously in a calm tone, but it seemed to have a slight mockery.

"Even if I smash the pot and sell iron, sell the kidney and sell the blood, I will raise the teacher until the day she closes her eyes peacefully!" Kazuta clenched his fists, and a line of tears slipped down his cheeks: "I have been an orphan since I was a child, and my adoptive father raised me until I died at the age of thirteen, and I had no ability at that time, so I was short of 300,000 yen in medical expenses!" The teacher taught me the ability to treat me like a relative, I learned to paint, I can make money, she is lying in the hospital waiting for me to do my filial piety, but you ...... But you! ”

"I repeat, that's the teacher's own choice." Nanamiya lowered her eyebrows: "I'm also sad, but ...... Teachers are arrogant, and I can't let her arrogance be broken inch by inch by my students. ”

Kazuta finally let go of his clenched fist and was taken away by Goto and Takeshita with tears on his face.

Kanae looked at her husband who went to the toilet to wash his face, and sighed, "I understand you, Saya." But I didn't have the courage...... In the past ten years, I have always thought that if I were standing in front of my grandmother's bed and facing all this, would I have the courage to be indifferent? Everyone said you stayed where you were because you were scared, but in my opinion, you were braver than everyone else. ”

Respect for life and disregard for death require great courage.

Nanamiya also paid a terrible price - if it weren't for that blue, small figure, she would now be shrouded in shadows for the rest of her life, unable to hold a pen, leaving a psychological scar.

Nanamiya shook his head slightly: "I will leave with this cruelty...... It is enough for one sinner. ”

"Little Night......

"By the way, this is for you."

Nanamiya took out the gift he had brought, it was a scroll, and when he opened it, there was a painting inside.

"It's ...... This ......" Kana Hui's face was full of surprise, at first glance it was an ordinary oil painting, but she had learned five or six points of skill from her grandmother, and she looked at the composition to see the theme and brushstrokes of the oil painting, and she could see it instantly.

"This is a painting of my grandmother?"

"At that auction, the teacher's masterpiece." Nanamiya looked at the painting and said, "May there be no cold in the ice and snow." ”

The beggar in the painting is dressing the sapling, but the snowy painting does not feel a trace of chill.

Nanami Ye looked at the people who were sitting in the hall one after another, and watched the students at the nearby tables of teachers go from raw to familiar greetings, thinking that the saplings are thriving but the beggars are no longer there.

】

"Thank you, thank you......" Kanae Ishizumi couldn't help but shed tears: "This is the most valuable gift." ”

The painting was taken away by Amamiya Jinma, and she would definitely not be able to reach someone of the richest man's level, and she wanted to buy back her grandmother's masterpiece, but she didn't have the financial resources...... At that time, Amamiya Near Ma spent hundreds of millions to buy this painting, and the money was donated to the government.

The banquet went smoothly as planned, and Himeno, who had been startled just now, finally came to his senses and began to use his courtesan skills to get to know the painters, politicians and businessmen who were active in Hokkaido.

Occasionally, there are people at the ladies table at Table No. 1 who come to toast, and most of them toast Kanae...... After all, she is the organizer and the president of the Painters' Association.

To Nanamiya's surprise, near the end of the meal, Shiquan and Tai, who had recovered their strength, led a group of fellow disciples and brothers back.

Nanamiya looked at the menacing crowd, and elegantly took a sip of the wine glass, "What, didn't you make enough noise?" ”

"I heard Kanae say that you brought back the teacher's masterpiece." Hetai stood there with a solemn face: "I'm a yard to a yard, I didn't say anything before, I thank you for the painting!" ”

As he spoke, he picked up an unopened bottle of red wine on the table, bit the cork with his teeth, and drank half of the bottle.

The brothers around also came with wine glasses, and the eldest brother took the lead, so they all drank the wine in the glass.

Nanamiya glanced at them and whispered, "It's really the same as the stupid way it was back then." ”

She said so, but she still drank the wine in the glass.
