If you open the door to the room, the first thing that comes into your eyes is the ornamental plant that your beloved wife was growing.

Even though I am a cactus, if I leave it alone, I will grow up on my own, but I don't really like Kaoru.

Was it two years before we got married?

When I was just in my current position, when I was frustrated and crusty.

I was fighting and running until I met Kaoru, so I was not accustomed to the guy for a normal job and pretended to be calm even as I accumulated my depression on days that didn't work out.

I was only a field worker at that time, and I lived on a daily allowance.

"You don't have enough green for Kohei."

With that said, he took the cactus in his hand at a florist in Tokyo's Beast Town.

"There are only concrete buildings or ruins around, so that's how I get frustrated. Hey, are you buying this?

It was when I was still completely poor.

I was frightened and I disagreed.

Let's buy a seedling of vegetables we can eat rather than something we can't eat like this.

Whatever you say, he laughed and pointed at me.

"Heh heh, you can't grow vegetables for a dreary Yasuhei-kun, can you? Basically, I'll take care of it, but maybe you can't get your water up for two days a day, huh? Even then, it has to be something that grows properly."

Well, you were probably right, so it's a bad tach.

There's no way I can properly grow flowers with a crude, barren gun.

If he hadn't been here, maybe even this cactus would have dried up.

'Look, you've seen that!

It's about Kaoru.

I'm sure he'll say this, laugh and be prestigious with Niyaniya.

Whoa, you're the enemy.

I guess since we met.

You're in high school, and I'm the dick.

Oh, I miss you.

"What are you talking about getting old? You're still young, so work hard! That's what Kaoruhei says, right?

"Tocha"

'Heh heh heh - you can only speak well. Kaoruhei is.'

Oh, what is this?

It was definitely time to move from Tokyo after being promoted from the site to sales.

If I hauled all my luggage out of the first wooden apartment and was stuck in an empty room of memories, I would have been told.

My salary is going down a little, but unlike the scene where it's going to be canceled due to rain, it's going to stabilize.

It's a new sales office start-up staff, so we're moving to the province.

Thank you so much for the parents and the general manager.

He looked at me with no education and took into account the fact that I had a child.

Thanks to this, I was able to get into my current sales office.

'It's nice to be manly to make money with dokans, but it's cool to do the trick carefully, isn't it? Sho-kun?'

"Ah!

"And - play -!

This, right?

Was it when Shohei was born and we talked about whether she was going to move to a well-earned company?

Shohei, who was born a little weak, often took care of the hospital.

I didn't have any income problems, but it was a suggestion to increase my savings for the future.

But Kaoru laughs -----.

'You like the workplace right now, don't you? Then you don't have to quit. "

––––– That's easy to say.

I remember Kaoruhei was at a handy time, but he even cared about my job and was happy.

'You don't have to change your job. It's okay. Shohei is a strong kid, and Kaoruhei is a proper brother to me. It's great, Kaoruhei. He even took my shopping baggage today! Besides, I'll do my best too. Happy to have a daughter-in-law. Kohei-kun.'

Right.

I'm a happy man.

I'm really glad to see you.

Now that I've met you, I've put a lot of happiness in this arm-----.

"Dad, Dad! Father!

"Ooh?

Someone rocked me, and I woke up.

This is my room, my bed.

Is that it?

"How long have you been asleep? I need to wake up now. Your job, it's starting today, right?

"Ah...? Oh, whoa! Is this the time already!?

When I looked at the wall clock, it was a little after 6: 00.

Danger. Danger.

From this house to the sales office, it will take about 40 minutes to drive.

As soon as I use it at high speed, my purse is not thicker than I am in such luxury.

So I'm leaving the house early, no matter what.

"Sho! Where's the tie?!?

"I already ironed it yesterday and have it in my living room! The shirt's that way!

Wow, the kid who did it!

I don't think you're my kid!

The white shirt and slack I don't remember hanging on the hanger.

The iron also works and looks brand new.

"Oh, thanks!

"Breakfast, because it's already done, right? Little ones, why don't you get dressed so I don't wake you up?

I know, I know!

A prickly and angry last son left the room.

I rush off my bedtime clothes and change into a white shirt.

I looked sideways at the photo of Kaoru hanging on the wall of the room, through my legs on the slack.

"You're getting more and more alike. He."

'Cause Kohei-kun isn't sloppy, is he? Not at all.'

I laugh bitterly at voices I can't possibly hear.

I'm sure he would say this.

All the photos of Kaoru are in my room.

After he died, Kaoruhei and Shohei cried when they saw the photo.

I didn't even like to go in there and shove it in, so I keep it in my bedroom.

He wants to see it whenever he wants.

I closed the button on the white shirt.

Put on the socks that Shohei had prepared for me as well.

With this outfit, I feel like I'm already in work mode.

This, so to speak, is your working father's battle suit.

A testament to the great black pillars of the family, and my pride.

Well, let's do our best today.

View the cactus placed on the low chest by the bed.

I was a little worried because I left it alone for a month in the Tooth Rock case, but it's still here fine.

Is this what Kaoru thinks it is, too?

I saw Kaoru's picture again.

With a sunny smile, Kaoru is there.

"I'm coming."

I'm trying not to be indispensable, my routine.

Always report to Kaoru when you leave the house.

Open the curtains and windows and turn off the air conditioning.

Shohei will dry the futon later.

I headed to the entrance to the room and switched off the electricity installed on the wall.

Slowly close the door.

grandchildren who would be sleeping in their oldest son's room.

And don't wake the son and his wife up.

Babies are sensitive to sound.

The door closes with a slight noise with the kachari.

I turned my foot to the stairs and stopped for a moment to review my room door.

'Go away. Good luck with that. Kahei-kun'

"Ooh."

Because I thought I heard Kaoru.
