Chapter 21: Snowy Night, Elk Girl, and Letter

The day after Christmas, after a sleepless night, Ka Chi Hui took a hot shower in the morning, put a glass of American style on his desk, tried not to think about last night, and covered his "good night" notes with a book.

The New Year is coming, and she is still alone, and Sachiko must have been gone for four months, and she has been opening and closing the window of her room every day for four months.

Kamaike Teiichi liked the lamp in Sachiko's room, and at the beginning of winter in October, he took it out of Sachiko's room, along with the copy of The Man Who Stole the Shadow, which he had purchased at a shopping street bookstore.

I don't know when it started, when it started to snow at night, looking out of the black window, there was no shadow of sleepiness disappearing, he just wanted to sit at the desk, turn on the lamp on a cycle, and the sound of da-da fell together in the unmanned room.

The most basic things like eating and sleeping well are more difficult than you think.

"Keiichi, I learned a lot of musical instruments at school, it's really fun, I want to play it for you now, but I can't go back to accompany you on the New Year, it's snowing so hard outside, I really want to be by your side, it will make me feel very relieved. But the teacher wants me to compose a complete song, and I want to sing it to you next year. Maybe when the snow passes, I show up at home, and I'm sure Keiichi will be fine too. - Miss you, Sachiko"

Pu Chihui folded the letter back to its original appearance, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he became a little strange, and finally stuffed the letter into the envelope with a smile.

He finished his coffee with a smile and looked out the window at the white branches.

"Do you know what the marshmallow looks like over there is called?" Kamachi remembered last night's crying, the girl's tears last night, and Akina's sadness.

He hated the elk girl's tears, like a "cabin" covered with a layer of cold snow.

Thinking that the girl knocked him down by mistake, and thinking that the girl who had been like him all night and couldn't sleep all night in a corner of the bed like him, sadness suddenly came to my heart.

He knew that he couldn't stay in this house any longer, so he put "good night" in the pocket of his white trench coat and walked to the door of the stairs, "Haven't the lights been fixed yet?" ”

Sitting at the back of the bus, just like this, from the starting station to the final station, looking at the white house, white trees and white street lamps outside the window, Ka Chi Teiichi seemed to be unable to suppress the non-existent self, turned on the black "good night", he was ready to hide the loneliness and some inexplicable "things" in his heart into the book.

I may not know when I forgot it, but I haven't opened "Good Night" for a long time, and a piece of paper slipped out of the notebook and gently spread out the paper, which turned out to be the song "Station" written on the train when I first came to Tokyo.

Everything is so coincidental, or fate, the appearance of "Station" seems to break the balance of the timeline, and the "cabin" in my heart is because of this song, because the girl was forced to open the door and let the cold of winter invade her heart.

For some reason, two people who had nothing to do with each other met and didn't communicate much, but Kamaike Keiichi seemed to have been feeling Akina Nakamori's state of mind, and he felt all the sadness, and suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, holding his head, curled up in the corner of the room, watching the wall fall into silence. Pu Chi Teiichi never knew that he was cold, and when he came home, he realized that he had been cold all along. If you don't have it, you don't have it, and if you don't have it, it's very uncomfortable.

"It turns out that Elk Girl is like me." People don't have to envy others, everyone has their own bitterness and happiness.

He walked quietly through the city, treating the people around him as if they were snowy scenes. He had one thing on his mind now, one thing that had to be done.

"Where is Akina Nakamori's agent now?" Wearing black sunglasses, Ka Chi Teiichi asked about the hospitality on the first floor of the Yanyin Office.

Looking at the man in front of him wearing a white edelweiss coat and sunglasses, Mika Tsukishima was a little skeptical that he was an idol.

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

"I need to talk to Akina-san's agent."

"Okay, please come with me."

Mika Tsukishima knocked on the door with the agent's office posted on the door, "Excuse me, Omoto-san, someone needs to see you." ”

"Got it, let him in." A middle-aged man's voice came from inside the room.

"Sir, is there anything wrong with you?" Big Ben straightened his chair and looked at the young man in front of him.

"Omoto-san, please give this to Akina." Placing a few folded sheets of white paper on Big Ben's desk, he turned and walked out of the office and left the building.

"Ah~, what a strange man, eighty percent is a fan of Ming Cai sauce, and he has to send it to the company by hand, it seems that he really likes Ming Cai." Big Ben puts the paper in a drawer.

The snow doesn't seem to be as heavy tonight as it was last night, and despite the awkward quarrel with the office, Akina Nakamori still has to finish the day's company arrangements, sit in Omoto-san's car, and suppress the loneliness in her heart.

Looking at Akina Nakamori's haggard appearance, Big Ben was really a little unbearable, but he was just a small agent, and he had no right to contact this girl who was the same age as his daughter, "Is Akina still sad, here are the things that fans give you." ”

Big Ben took out the paper that Kamoike Teruichi had placed on the table during the day from his briefcase and handed it to Akina Nakamori.

"Believe it?" Akina Nakamori opened the paper, and the black font revealed a blue style, evoking the atmosphere of a snowy night.

Don't cry because you're lonely, that's why you're born

To be alive is to overcome loneliness

Don't wait for a call that won't come

In the reeds, the black crow will also watch over you

Occasionally, God weeps over loneliness

Birds also sit on tree branches because they are lonely

I sat by the window because I was lonely

The shadow of the snow also feels lonely

So once a day it goes down to the ground

The bell rang because of loneliness

"Akina, I'm sure you'll get better."

Flip to the next page, "A song." "The Station". ”

Tears flowed down her chin, and Akina Nakamori realized it, tilting her head and wiping her cheeks with a glove.

"Eh~, I knew that the kid didn't give me a good thing, I should have thrown it away." Big Ben was driving and heard Akina Nakamori's cry and couldn't help but shout angrily.

"What kind of person sent it?"

"Ah, Akina are you alright?" Big Ben asked, turning his head.

"I'm fine, I'm worried about you, Big Ben-san."

"That kid is wearing a white edelweiss coat and black sunglasses, and his expression is very indifferent, what a strange person." Big Ben recalled.

Walking down the tree-lined path home home, "White clothes?" ”

Akina Nakamori instantly remembered the "Mr. Fox" who held an umbrella for her last night.
