Ee, Teni Shippai? Seikou?

"Yes."

The young woman's voice heard from the intercom seemed a little tired.

He would be Todo's wife.

"Um, this is Yoichi Higashido's house. May I?

"Uh... Oh, yes"

"This time I was saddened. I'm sorry to push you so suddenly. I thought it would be a bottle of incense in time for the funeral..."

"… please wait"

After waiting a while, the front door opened and a woman, probably the wife of the East Hall, still in mourning appeared.

"... go ahead"

"Excuse me."

Women urge me to go through the living room.

There were no Buddhist altars or anything like that, but there were ruins and nameplates, remains, and brand new incense stands and bells (rings) on a simple platform.

The young man smiling in the frame was precisely that person in the East Hall I met at that time.

Place the incense and set the incense.

Then I gently tapped the bell and thanked him.

The procedure around here is vague, but there is no point in being rude.

Turn to the woman.

She looked at Yaichi with a subtly unfocused eye with no expression.

"Actually, I was the one involved in that accident with your husband..."

In those words, it looked like strength dwelt in a woman's eyes.

"Really?"

Briefly describe the circumstances of the accident.

(Well, you'd have been briefed by the police or something)

Then she smiled at herself, furiously.

"You helped people at the end of the day. I'm proud."

I didn't know what to say to Todo's wife, who stomachs while saying so in a tired voice, but I thought I'd tell her because I could administratively tell her what to tell her anyway, and Yaichi opens her mouth.

"Actually, I was talking to your husband a little after the accident before he died..."

"Huh..."

The look on the face of Dondo's wife strengthens.

Yaichi noticed the change, but pretended not to notice and continued the conversation.

"Uh, right. First of all, I got life insurance. He said he hadn't told his wife yet, so he was worried. I thought you might know more about riding a diplomat who came to work."

"Really... Thank you for taking the time."

"And I like the" ta "in the" cinta "is" bigger "than the" thicker ","

Then two tears spilled out of Dondo's wife's eyeballs.

"Ugh..."

And her expression distorted in agony.

"Uh-oh."

I shouted and cried out.

(Well, I told him what to tell him, and it's time to have some free time...)

"Why not?!?

Suddenly his wife screamed and jumped at him in a youthful shape.

Grabbed by a collar and held down by force that I don't think is a woman.

"Why! That guy...! Not you!! Ugh..."

I know what you're trying to say.

He is a single, especially untrained Yangichi in the world.

I wanted to do it on behalf of you if it was something you could replace.

However, when it came to the administrator at that time, everything was unlikely to be covered by the decision.

It would be a cliché, but should I speak of fate?

I don't suppose that would be any salvation where I said it.

"I don't know about other kids... I don't care...!! This kid's... for... Uh-huh."

The power to hold Yaichi down weakened, and Todo's wife just cried like a child.

There, the door on the front door, the sound of opening.

And a middle-aged man and woman showed up.

"Hey, Yasue, what's wrong?!?

"What are you doing to our daughter!!

and the man rushes up more suddenly with a brick face.

"Ya, hey, no...... Grr!!

And the man's unleashed aided right hook captured Yangichi's face.

○ ● ○ ●

"Sorry!!

The man who hit Yaichi earlier, Higashido's wife, Yasushi's father, is rubbing his head against the floor.

"Oh, no, 'cause I'm fine"

"A hell of a mistake, though."

"No, really, I'm fine."

He deceives his father while hitting the refrigerant given to him on the cheek.

(It's actually okay...)

Of course it hurt when I was beaten, my mouth was cut and my cheeks were swollen, but now it's scratched and blocked, swollen and painless.

It seems to be the effect of [healthy body].

It's too early now. I put refrigerant on it to hide the healing, something like that.

"Right...... Thank you again."

"No, nothing to be thankful for..."

"... that kid. I haven't cried since he died. I'm worried about that the other way around. But thanks to you for telling me his final story, I'm sure you've set something apart..."

When he was caught in his father's gaze and looked at him in the living room, Yasue put his head on his mother's lap and slept with a childlike expression.

"I... just happened to be there."

"Still, thanks for taking the time to come"

That said, his father bowed his head deeply.

"Speaking of which, is his family...?

"Hmm, thank you. He has a rare family relationship. I managed to get my face on the wedding, but this time it was just a condolence and a transfer of fragrance."

His father grinned as if he were frightened, and somewhere sad.

I guess people have a lot of things.

"Well, I'm about to"

"Right. Why don't you give me your contact details? Apologize again from my daughter..."

As Yaichi, I don't need an apology or anything, but then it won't fit well over there either.

"Well, give me this."

And, I took my business card from my wallet and gave it to him.

He's a factory worker who's no different than a part-time job, but he's a private employer, so he made it somehow.

Only ten printers at home, though.

I never had a chance to give it to anyone, but I never thought it would be useful in a place like this.

"I'm sorry. Again."

"No, never mind"

○ ● ○ ●

After leaving Dondo's house, Yaichi remembered something important.

Was it precisely when I saw the business card?

I remember not contacting the workplace.

I was absent from work for two days without permission.

I called the factory but no one answered, so I call a full-time Tamura cell phone.

"Hello?"

"Oh, hi, it's Fujido."

"Oh! What's up? Take two days off. Well, it's fine because I'm free."

"Uh, actually..."

Yaichi explained to Tamura how he went from the accident to the examination and discharge.

"Well... that was tough. Yeah, all right! I've been free lately, and this week, no, you can rest all next week!

Since it is now Saturday, it will mean a whole week or more off.

Given the ability test, it might be better if you had that much time off, no, more rest.

"You can rest me more if you want, but hey, ha-ha-ha!

"Well, sweeten up to your words. In a cup of this month for now. Do you mind if I call you back if I can get back early?

"Yeah, yeah. Don't push me."

This year has only just begun, and by the end of this month it is nearly a month.

If you use your skills well, you're likely to make a lot of money, and in some cases quitting like this may be one of your options.

(I've had time to be good, shall I think about it slowly?)

I decided to go home first.

While walking through the residential neighborhood the night it was completely dark, Yaichi regretted slightly that he forgot to set up his home point.
