The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

"This is good." It's a password that my sister can't solve. "

Looking at the home screen opened in "moti", Ishino-kai laughed pleasantly.

"That person sent you without thinking that you hate mochi and noodles..."

"... I thought I'd come every year for a reason."

"Yes, I've heard that you helped me consume food that I hate to protect." Thanks to that, I found out that Togo was in charge. "

After all, I'm a little happy with this password. Because only people who know the teacher well can understand the food that the teacher doesn't like, and even people who don't know me don't know the place of "in charge of Togo"... if I try to solve it properly, only people who know both the teacher and me can solve it.

But there are four letters.

Yeah.

But I don't think it's possible to have a password of four characters!

Well, don't forget to leave your password.

Now we can peek into the teacher's computer.

"I wonder if there are any naughty images!" Hey, Togo-kun! "

"I don't think you should look for that kind of thing much..."

Ishino-kai gladly looked inside the picture folder. Um, but I think it would be very troublesome if something really naughty came out, so if you could just leave it around...

Well, let's put aside the joke.

Ishino-kai closed the explorer of the picture folder with a slightly unfortunate face, and instead opened the folder named "Ishino-kai Hidetama" on the desktop.

"Maybe we should look ahead." Let's look for naughty images afterwards. "

Whether it's just a joke or not, Ishinokai said such a thing, and opened a file in the folder named "I want you to open this if anything happens to me"... and asked for the password, and I was puzzled.

Oh, here we go again.

Apparently, this file is locked.

Mochi again?

Ishinokai tried typing "moti" with a dazed face and was replayed with "password is different". Looks like it's different.

"It's very strict, but... um"

Then, look at the text file labeled "About Password" in the same folder. Then, the contents were like this.

"My uncle is watching this, I will be dead already." The memo in this folder was addressed to my uncle, who took care of me after I died. No, I'm sorry, Uncle. Nice to meet you, Uncle. Thanks all the time, Uncle. Passwords are the usual thing. ”

"... what's the usual thing?"

When I asked Ishinokai, who had a slightly difficult face, he tilted his neck and typed "itumonoare".

... yes.

It's no good being a stone's thrower.

Yeah.

When I say "the usual password", I don't think it's really the same password. "I wonder if this is made so that only Ishinokai-san can open it..."

"The usual guy, the usual guy... but we didn't see each other very often." Even though I always say that, to the extent that I face each event and event...... ah "

Ishinomi-san looked like he remembered a bit... and tried his password with a few misrepresentations...

Finally, we typed "turbanYUKICHI".

... yes.

I opened it!

"You're such a guy, Yukiha..."

Um, um, [Turban Yuki]...? What the hell is that supposed to mean when you open it...?

Um, please explain.

"No, it's not that simple. After 20 years, I didn't get any honest old balls, so I folded a 10,000-yen bill and gave it to Sakichi Fukusawa with a turban around his head." While sticking a callout sticky note and saying "Namaste"

... the teacher is a teacher, but Ishino-kai-san is also a stone, and there is something about her only uncle. He's a strange man. He's a weirdo!

"Well, that's why I was protected." Every year, whenever I met you, I decided to give you a Turban Saiji. No matter how old you are, you're my cute nephew. Well, that's why it's the usual one. "

Sheng Jie. It's interesting to interact with strange people...

The contents of the file were, well, a suicide note.

It says so roughly what to do if the teacher dies.

"I wish I had read it before the funeral... I've decorated the flower rock 'n' roll beside you... sorry for the protection." I'll decorate you with flowers and rock 'n' rolls at the time of the forty-ninth day of the law, so forgive me. "

"Yeah, yeah..."

The funeral was already over, but there was also a request written about the funeral. However, it seems that it is written by the doctor. Well, it sounds like a teacher to me. I think I wrote it to make Ishinomi-san laugh in preparation for the funeral. I'm sure.

"After the funeral... Okay." We did it, Togo. So far, it seems that we are doing exactly what we want! "

Then, it was also written about the cleaning up of the work. There is a rough list of people who need to be contacted, and it is written so that all the manuscripts that were in progress at work can be handed over to each person for the time being. All right. We're doing just fine for now.

And then there's something that says something about what's in the house, something that says something about the inheritance...

Hmm. It looks like there's something about you.

... and finally, there was the item "About Togo".

I was a little nervous, and I read it with Ishinokai-san. Then, it was written from the beginning.

I hope my uncle can read this with Togo, but that's impossible.

"It's possible, Guard!" Your outlook was sweet! "

Yes. It seems that even the teacher thought it was impossible, but we've already met. And we're already on top of each other.

"However, if Togo is looking at this together, I would like to ask Togo to refrain from doing so. It's a bit embarrassing from here....."

... but the sentence went on like that.

"Sensei's embarrassing story..."

“I'll tell you after I read it. For now, let's do as Guardian tells us."

Well, the teacher wrote that he wanted me to refrain, so I'd better not read it. [M] The next one said, "Togo has prepared a sentence for Togo, so please do it there." I moved to the seat opposite Ishinomi-san, cheerfully. That is, where the laptop's display is invisible.

"Hmm... oh"

Then I saw Ishino-kai's expression. I don't have much else to look at.

... Sensei, I wonder what you're writing about me. I'm a little curious. I'm probably worried about the main ingredient of this' concern '.

Looking at Ishinokai-san, who is chasing the text of the display with a slightly serious face, I thought about a lot of things...

"Good. That means my turn is over." Then it's your turn, Togo. "

While doing so, Ishinokai-san put a letter from the teacher (Is that a strange way of saying it? But it is like a letter) It seems that you have finished reading it. I was gestured, and I went back to Ishinokai-san's side, and there I was...

I was to read the passphrase "About Password" at once. Apparently, the letter to me also contained a password.

'Well, Togo, if you're reading this, I'm sure I'm dead. I'm sure you miss me, but, well, I hope you're doing well. ”

How dare you say that?

This is the first sentence I read. You're being rather nonsensical, Doctor. I thought I'd never be in a good mood again.

At the same time, say hello to the master of the cafe. And you should buy me a cup of cocoa or something. It's a tsuke from Unuma. '

Don't be ridiculous again!

This is what the next sentence looks like. No, if you're the master over there, you might want to treat me to a cocoa treat because you're a teacher.

"Then, if I'm dead, you should definitely get in touch with my uncle." The contact information for my uncle is listed below. He lives overseas, but he will be connected if he makes a phone call. And he knows you. [M] I'm sure you'll understand if you name yourself. ”

... then, along with such a text, Mr. Ishino-kai's contact information was written. It's a phone number. Sensei, you really did prepare it...

"The letter to you has a password on it. [M] That password means that we all eat a lot of things."

Oh, I can see that!

I finished reading the text and immediately entered the password. "muda".

... if this is no good, I was thinking of making it "kokoronoesa" next time, but it opened the first time. Well, that's why the number of characters... ok.

I open the text file that says "To Togo" and I read it. Heartbeats are half nervous and exhilarating.

"To Togo. I'm relieved that I opened it safely." Are you still painting today? "

Yeah.

I nod as I read the teacher's text. I am still drawing today. [M]... I'm happy and proud to be able to answer that.

It's about you, so I think it would be very depressing if I did something about it, but is that really the case?

"That's right."

That's right. That's right. That's why I think it's a little irresponsible or absurd to say, "I want you to do it well."

'If you are not well, take whatever you need to cheer you up from this house. Or you can stay at my house as long as your uncle allows you to. [M] I'll give you all my things. [M] (Well, I can't say that everyone has legal inheritance.) Then, please be well.'

The teacher says something stupid again. What I want most is to find somewhere in this world already.

As I get a little lonely, I keep reading.

Somewhere in the house, I'm sure you'll like this Togo. That's right. There were a few such things as a fantasy biology atlas and a knife with an ebony pattern... Well, if Ishinokai-san will forgive me, I think I'd like to have them.

And then some of the manuscripts were written, and they said, "If you want to read what I wrote, read it now! And I hope you turn this to the end! Don't read anything! Embarrassing! Nooooo! 'was a list of your books.... what does the last one look like? I wonder if it's named after him. Hmm... it's embarrassing.

... that's it.

As the scrollbar progressed to the end, there was the last paragraph... and the last word from the teacher was spelled.

I read it in silence. [M] Follow the letter slowly. Blink slowly. I wanted to read the teacher's words for a while.

"The password for this document is the same, but we are living in vain." And you and I are creatures that eat waste and produce waste. We love the world of fantasy. That's why you can feed all your experiences with brushes, and by doing so, you can be saved. This must be our life activity. ”

I remember. Right. It's okay. I can use all my experience as a bait for my brush. All events are for pictorial purposes.

And I can live by painting. Eating and living in vain, I need all kinds of vain things... so, it's okay. Yes, I remember.

"There is a word for the mochi that we have created and brought us to life, but that's exactly what it is. In fact, it's a mochi painted on a picture. Beautiful picture space, warm fantasy has no practicality. But the mochi you painted is still delicious. I believe that it makes sense to continue to make the mochi in the painting, to keep on stirring, and to keep on eating.”

That's right. So, being stopped, getting angry, getting rid of all the tools... it's useless, and I'm still drawing.

"In order to live the helpless reality, we need a beautiful picture space." I believe that a fantasy that is far from reality is a fantasy that is meant to live reality. We need art and fantasy to digest, sublimate, swallow, and nourish what we can't help. ”

... I know.

I know. Because I was embraced by a warm fantasy, I learned to make art my own voice, and I was able to turn all the difficulties I had experienced into picturesque rice cakes.

"So please, may you overcome the difficulties ahead." May there be a beautiful, fun and delicious [painted mochi] in your life! ”

At the end of the teacher's words, I read the sentence that really ended, and I... gently closed the window.

That's it.

And... the beginning of a new world that I will create after overcoming the difficulties.

Good night. Good morning. Good morning, Doctor.

All right. Let's draw.
