I am a writer in Tokyo

Chapter 156 If He Was Still Alive
It was an indescribable feeling.

Like said before.

It's all illusory, it's all futile.

The moment the singing sounded, everything in front of me seemed to be gradually moving away rapidly.

So close, yet so far away.

Even humming softly right in front of my eyes, I still feel so far away.

Just a song.

After a dance.

Looking at the artists bowing towards him under the dim light and shadow.

The crowd suddenly realized.

A few hours have passed like this.

At this time, look outside again.

It was found that the rain was torrential.

Washing all the shiny places with a feeling of drowning everything.

Those lights, which were originally very intense, have long since become dull and tasteless at this time.

Looking at the backs of the artists who are slowly leaving in the rain.

Looking at the place where they originally performed, it was already empty at this time.

No matter how hard you try, you can't catch anything.

What is left is only those memories in my mind that I don't know if they are illusions or the past.

Such a memory seems so unreal.

"Great performance today."

The older man glanced back at Tavern Ito.

Looking at it from his position, the water vapor all over the world seems so unreal.

He touched his face lightly.

Feel the coldness on your hands from being wet by the rain.

Then I kind of believed it.

"We finished a show in Tokyo."

Everyone woke up.

Only this time did they realize that the surrounding environment was very different from when they went back before.

This is not the Izu they are familiar with.

Not even those itinerant inn roads they'd walked through even once or twice before.

It's the real Tokyo.

Everyone stopped for a moment.

Then he looked at his toes with a sense of loss.

"Yeah, we're in Tokyo."

At this time, they suddenly remembered that Ah Xun who was running wildly in the rain last night.

If it were replaced by today's heavy rain.

If you get wet like this, you must catch a cold.

Everyone suddenly raised their heads and looked behind.

Ah Xun did not make any exaggerated movements.

Instead, he lowered his head and walked on his own.

Some words were whispered softly in his mouth.

Although I can't hear clearly, I generally know what I'm talking about.

Sounds like it's about stepping on land you've walked on before or something.

Everyone knows what she came to Tokyo for.

Only Ah Xun felt that no one else knew.

They are not the only ones who feel lost and feel that it is not so real.

A long time after they left, the people in the tavern, including Boss Ito, came to breathe a sigh of relief.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Everyone saw the shock from their eyes.

After realizing again that it was indeed over, the people in the tavern got up and left one after another.

When they walked to the door, they all looked at the place where they performed before with nostalgia.

Thanks for the rain too.

The air is humid, making everything around us wet.

That feeling of beauty also sticks to the skin.

I am eager to feel the rest of the taste when I come home through the rain curtain.

"So, this is Izu."

The customers in the store had almost left, Oshima Kazuya let out a long sigh as if he had just woken up.

Then he turned his head, pouted towards the place where he performed just now, and asked, "Is she Ah Xun?"

Boss Ito was surprised, looked at Kazuya Oshima in disbelief and said, "Ms. Oshima knows?"

"No, several people have asked this question, so, is that girl famous in her own right?"

"Then if this is the case, why is it in Izu? No, it shouldn't come to the store to perform."

Although Boss Ito is very happy on weekdays.

But he is still very clear about his position.

Own is a small shop.

"Then if it's so famous, why are there so few people watching the show?"

Boss Ito took a look at the sales volume of drinks today, and he didn't buy as much as before.

Then his eyes shifted to the rain-soaked notice on the side.

Could it be that the notice is too small?

"Are they...always in Tokyo?"

"I'm leaving in two days, and I'll be performing in the store for two days.

If Mr. Oshima thinks it's good, he can come over for a few days.

Of course, if you have friends who like it, you can also bring it together. "

"You can borrow a set of video equipment."

Oshima Kazuya suddenly reminded him.

"This is?"

"Maybe it will be useful later."

Boss Ito still wanted to continue asking, but Kazuya Oshima gave him a secretive look.

-

About this new book.

It seems to have always been quite satisfactory.

It's not that it didn't sell well.

It can only be said to maintain the previous level.

Xinchao prepared a lot this time.

So there is no such thing as a sell-out.

It's just that there is one thing that has quietly become everyone's attention.

A fairy dancing on a rainy night.

Someone described seeing a girl bouncing around while walking at night.

Wearing a white pleated skirt.

Holding an open umbrella in his hand.

Under the lights and in the rain, her jumping touched the hearts of all those who saw this scene.

At that moment, everything belonged to that girl only.

So no matter how beautiful the Izu dancers are, or how sad they are, they are nothingness.

There is no dream of that figure.

What is true nothingness.

Just saw it with my own eyes.

But it didn't touch it.

It was too late when I tried to find it.

Lament yourself why you didn't find it sooner.

This is the sorrow of things, this is nothingness.

Compared with the so-called dancing girl, this is more practical.

However, none of this affected the continued rain in the sky.

It didn't affect the fact that there were still so few people watching the show in the Ito Tavern.

In this way, three days in a row.

Last night.

The show is over.

The artists walked towards the place where they stayed.

Xiuzi and Ju walked aside.

Holding umbrellas for each other.

There was no sound.

Only Ah Xun threw away the umbrella as she walked.

"It's raining heavily outside."

Before he could make a sound, Ah Xun ran far away.

Then I saw her suddenly turn around and look at them.

The mouth grows very large.

The eyes are squinted.

It looks like it's crying.

It seemed to be laughing again.

"We." She spoke a little out of breath: "Are we considered a success? We performed in Tokyo."

Everyone was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Then, he will definitely see it too." Ah Xun raised his head and looked at the black sky.

"If he's alive."

she said in her heart.

Torrential rain.

Everything is alive.

She tried to put away her cowardice.

It was only later that I discovered that that kind of emotion was more than cowardice.
