my life in japan

Chapter 4 A Life Alone

Regardless of what happened two years ago, the timeline returns to the present.

After returning home, Mizukawao did not make preparations immediately, but went to the Buddhist altar in the room and knelt down.

The small doors on the left and right of the Buddhist altar are open, and in the middle is Mizukawa Fujioka's last photo of Mizukawa's father.

Mizukawa picked up the incense next to it, lit it, and inserted it into the small jar in front.

Staring at the portrait for a while, it was very strange and very kind.

Although the family culture in Huaguo culture has rich content and deep connotation, Mizukawao's understanding of family culture is different.

Mizukawa felt that he was always at a loss in this world.

What is the right thing to do?There is no fixed answer to this question; why do such a thing?This question is also difficult to answer.

When Mizukawa grew up, some philosophical questions would always pop up in his mind, which may be the reason why he has a different temperament.

In his long life, he also had a general understanding of the question "What to do?"

In his understanding, everything is meaningful within a certain range.

For example, Arabic numerals: 0-9, are just the meaning defined by the Arabs. Coupled with the promotion of this character and its meaning and the general recognition that people have gained after being promoted, this string of 0-9 characters has its meaning.

On the contrary, it is a string of "messy" symbols that are nothing-you let aliens try to use these symbols?
The same is true of the current prayer. Mizukawa feels that he wants to use the body of other people's children to do extraordinary things, so he can't take it for granted... In his own perception, this is wrong.

So every time he was given a similar mission, he would pray and "tell" his father that he was going to do "bad things."

As for why not tell mom?Of course this cannot be said!

In Japan, for family members who have passed away, relatives will offer meals, tea, wine, etc., and burn incense and pray every day.

Although today's young people seldom make offerings like this, prayer is still Mizukawao's daily routine.

As long as I have dinner at home, I will offer it by the way.

There are two reasons, one is because he has occupied the body of the original body, so he should do something for his original (now his) relatives.

Although Mizukawa didn't show it, but he is very concerned about his mother;

The second reason is: Mizukawa thought that if he occupied the original body after sleeping, the original body might also occupy his body.

In that case, I hope he can treat his parents better.

But if you want others to think about you, then naturally, you must first think about others...

'Today's prayer is over'

Ten minutes later, Mizukawa stood up, planning to fill his stomach first.

He skillfully opened the refrigerator, then took out the milk from the refrigerator, and took out a glass from the cabinet, poured himself a glass, and heated it in the microwave.

He took out a few pieces of bacon and two eggs from the refrigerator, turned on the stove, and fried them on a pan. The movements were smooth and smooth, and a simple dinner was soon prepared.

Tasting a simple dinner made by my own "cooking skills (advanced cooking skills)", I am very satisfied.

That's right, after more than two years of deliberate practice, Mizukawao's culinary skills can be considered to have reached the level of high-level proficiency.

The level of advanced skills is roughly equivalent to the professional to super professional level in the world, which can be described as the peak strength.

He reckoned that he could be promoted to a high level, in addition to talent, he probably also had the role of system assistance.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to reach a professional level in just two years.

There is also a top term behind advanced.

Mizukawa feels that there is not much room for improvement in his cooking skills, so he believes that the greatest strength of ordinary people is advanced.

As for the top-level statement, it is natural to see that the system has the option to upgrade.

The ceiling of ordinary people is probably advanced.If you want to reach the top level, you should be able to do it with very talented ghosts.

But that's not what he wants to think about now.

In the past two years, I have deliberately improved my cooking skills, just to make one of my basic skills stand out a bit.

Spending more time practicing skills is better than completing tasks to get skill points and then upgrading skills.

After eating this meal, Mizukawao simply tidied up.

That's right, making only one dinner and washing it up after eating, these two phenomena indicate that Mizukawao is actually the only one in the whole family.

Due to the death of his father, Mizukawao's mother, Mari Mizukawa, could only support the entire family's financial resources by herself.

When he first came to this world, his father had been dead for half a year.

In the past six months, apart from being busy with funeral and housework at the beginning, Mari Mizukawa spent most of her time at work and overtime at the company.

A year ago, when Mizukawa was about to enter high school, Mizukawa Mari began to ask Mizukawa to be independent.

There is no other reason, Mari Mizukawa took the initiative to undertake the company's long-distance travel business in order to provide Mizukawao with material and economic resources - to go abroad.

"Xiaowei, you have already graduated from junior high school, so you are a high school student. High school students should learn to be independent and live on their own. I will go abroad to work in a week, and you have to take care of yourself by then."

Mizukawa wanted to complain.

Although Japanese high school students are one of the three most powerful people in the world, those are all plots in novels, manga or anime, okay?
I think so psychologically, but I try to persuade her more.

"Don't be so troublesome, I can go to a public high school, and I can go to a convenience store to work or something..."

Mizukawao is actually a very casual person, and his need for material things is not high at all.So he firmly refused his mother to go abroad.

However, the thinking of the Japanese nation is a bit strange.

Mari Mizukawa just wanted her son to live independently.

In the end, Mizukawao still could not convince his mother because of his status as a child.

Mizukawa Mari stuck to her own opinion, and went abroad to work before Mizukawao High School started.

The main reason why my mother wants to work abroad is the tuition fee.

Mizukawao attended a very good private high school, and the annual cost was around 250-300 million yen.

After the accident two and a half years ago, most of the family's savings have been spent.

Now Mari Mizukawa resolutely goes abroad to work in order to continue Mizukawao's better education.

After all, there is a huge gap between private and public schools in Japan.

Public schools are run on citizens' tax dollars, so they cannot implement unique education based on their respective founding spirits like private schools, let alone good private high schools.

Regarding this, Mizukawao was very moved.

Although Japanese family culture is also very deep and strong, it is very different from Chinese family culture in one way:
In the Chinese concept of family, what's yours is mine.

In the Japanese concept of family, what is yours is not necessarily mine.

Although everything cannot be generalized by example, but as a mother who has given so much for herself, I have to say that Mizukawao has already remembered it in her heart.

And I have been thinking about it for a long time, thinking about finding a way to save my mother from living so tiringly.

After packing up the dishes, Mizukawa began to prepare the tools for going out this time.

A series of items such as spotlight flashlights, calorie biscuits, and drinks were all placed by Mizukawao in a black airflow beside him.

Strangely, the hand holding the object reached into the black air mass and came back empty.

Carrying the talisman with him, after counting the equipment, Mizukawao planned to go out.

Instead of yelling "I'm going out" in an empty house like in the anime, I went out directly.

Even if there are people in the family, Mizukawao is not used to shouting this sentence, because for him from Huaguo, saying this sentence is really too unaccustomed.

"Is it Kyopo Sagi?... I don't know how you feel now after you escaped for 5 years."

Putting on the mask and walking on the route I planned, I unconsciously thought about this man who committed a crime, what kind of mood is he living with now?
