Ayanokoji in Kexue World

(13) Try it first and then talk

After the trip to Hakone, Ren Amamiya and I went to Yokohama.

The word "Yokohama" always seems to have installed a stress sensor on me after I met that Chufa youth.I will inexplicably think of that person, holding a small animal in my heart, inexplicably nervous and expectant.

But I also know that I have no reason to run into him.

Our first stop in Yokohama was "Seaside Western Food House".This is the only memory that I have scraped out of my mind.And this memory point may hide the four-digit password that Amamiya Ren needs.

In other words, Yokohama has been active on the world stage as an important foreign trade port since the black ship incident in the six years of Yongjia, Japan.For overseas tourists, Yokohama is one of the tourist attractions in Japan.For the Japanese themselves, Yokohama is also a good place to travel. There is an endless blue sea and blue sky, cultural relics left before the war, and countless delicacies from all over the world.

So, if we don't end up with anything, it's also a great place for leisure travel.

We stayed in three-star hotels that were sold out on specials.The transportation of the hotel is very convenient. Not far from the hotel is the tram station and bus station extending in all directions. It is very convenient to go to the port area or the downtown area.

Our goal is very clear - "the coastal area in the suburbs of Yokohama".

Apart from the seaside area of ​​Warehouse Street, there are beaches specially open to tourists, as well as the coastal area on the outskirts of Yokohama.Usually, the residential areas near the sea should be either rich or expensive. After all, rich people like to enjoy the quiet and unique scenic spots.

But that area is not for the rich.

That area was the camp where the soldiers were stationed before the war.Slowly, they also formed a family there, and later built some infrastructure, and finally it was a decent residential area.It's just that it's still messy, and rich people won't touch that land.Unless that area is redeveloped, all the aborigines will be driven away.

In fact, it was originally said four years ago that a tourist village would be developed there, but after the explosion and chaos, the plan for the tourist village was shelved again.It is still a quiet neighborhood.

It takes an hour to go there by bus.In the car, Ren Amamiya and I listened to the piano piece mentioned earlier.Umiya Ren is a comfortable person to get along with. When listening to me, she won't pretend to exaggerate the piano music, and she won't put on an unattractive look.But it was natural, as if I was in contact with this piece with him in the first place.

When I was about to get close to the destination, I asked back: "What if I don't remember anything at the end?"

"There will be other ways."

"Actually, maybe I don't need to restore my memory. I'm doing fine now."

I speak the truth.

And all I want is the truth.

"But those who remember you will always miss you. Haven't you thought about it? Your parents, your family, your friends, they should be very happy if they know that you are still alive." Amamiya Ren Seriously said, "Besides, you are so good now, they will be overjoyed knowing that you know."

I thought about retrieving my memory, but never thought that other people's lives might change in any way because of my retrieving memory.

Ren Amamiya continued: "Ayanokouji, are you nervous?"

I felt my heartbeat with my heart, and then said with certainty: "No."

"I'm pretty nervous."

"?"

"Actually, before forming the Phantom Thieves, I never thought that my own ability could help others so much, helping friends of friends stay away from school bullying, helping friends rectify their names and regaining their mother's reputation, and solving friends' autism And depression, and even help you get your memory back. I found that when I can do so many things, I feel more and more important about my ability.”

Umiya Ren's black pupils shone with firm light.

"I'm not afraid of threats, I'm not afraid of power. I want to help more people."

"You are really a good person."

I hear me say that.

Thinking back to what I told him last time that the phantom thieves were being targeted, it didn't make him choose to retreat, but he wanted to prove his heart with what he did.

"Please persevere."

Ren Amamiya is not as flamboyant as Ryuji Sakamoto.Most of the time he is silent and introverted, but once he speaks such bright words, I think he has made up his determination to be strong and fearless, and never back down.

"Will do."

……

Most of the people left behind in seaside towns are the elderly and children, and most of the young people go to work in the urban areas.

After looking for several people, an old man told us that there are not many foreign restaurants on this seaside, but every one will provide curry rice.

If it's extra spicy curry rice, there was a restaurant that did a good job four years ago, but because of the mafia, the store owner and his five adopted children died.The five children were the worst, trapped in the van and died.Some people heard their voices calling for help, but there was no way to save them.

"Ah, I remembered. The one who saw the children calling for help was a regular customer in the store—he looked like a nice guy. I heard that he went to avenge the store manager and the children, but he never came back after he left. Yes, the store manager’s body was picked up by someone else.”

"No one dares to take over that store now, and it still remains the same."

What they said was commonplace, but it was indeed the first time Ren Amamiya heard such a real event, and she was a little overwhelmed.He has also heard that Yokohama, Japan has the largest supernatural mafia organization in the country, but he never thought it would be so rampant that even children can attack without blinking an eye.

"I don't know how dark the leader's heart is?" Yugong said.

I always feel that if he gets the chance, he might also want to change the leader's mind.

I said: "The life of the mafia is much more chaotic than we imagined. I heard that in order to operate legally, they have obtained a license for supernatural powers through some means. This is also the reason why I moved to Mihua Town. I am an ordinary In a city where people are under the influence of the mafia, it is really stressful."

When I was halfway through the talk, I realized that if Ren Amamiya targeted the port mafia, it might add too much unnecessary trouble.I'm not interested in whether the leader of Port Mafia is a good guy or not, I only have ideas about how to solve the existence of Phantom Thieves of Heart.

So, I wanted to divert his attention, and after noticing the foreign food restaurant the old man mentioned, I urged Ren Amameiya to take a look, and even ran to the door of the store to show that I remembered something.Amameiya Ren followed closely in my footsteps.

There was no padlock on the door.It is not so much that there is no padlock as that the door is open to the outside.

Standing at the door, I could easily see a black-haired young man in a khaki windbreaker sitting on the edge of the bar with his head tilted. The light from the window was cut into a huge oblique angle and extended to his feet, illuminating The light beams entering the room are floating in the dust, like tiny light butterflies that have life, flying in the air.

It's a strange picture.

That person is like a character frozen in the time camera at this moment, making it impossible for people to easily destroy the peace of the moment.My hands and feet subconsciously relaxed.

Yu Gonglian's voice also dropped: "Is someone still going in?"

I shook my head.

We originally wanted to eat that curry, but now that the foreign food shop is abandoned like this, there should be no results.I originally thought that if it went well, I would say the four numbers given by Gin casually as if I was recovering my memory.But now doesn't seem like a good time.

The footsteps of Yu Gonglian and I were facing outwards, and the voices of the people inside sounded.

"So you guys have memories of this foreign food restaurant?"

"How much do you remember about this store?"

"Then do you know someone called Oda Sakunosuke?"

His sudden continuous questioning made it impossible for me to answer a single sentence.

"Have you seen it?"

When he turned his head, there was still a smile on his face, but it made people feel that he was already drowning in the breathless deep sea.Try to reduce your redundant expressions and emotions, in order to save a second and a moment in this drowning.

I think he wants to find someone with whom he shares memories.

But, I'm not that person.

"Sorry, this is my first time here."

Don't talk about the Oda Sakunosuke he mentioned.

I don't know much about this store either.

After I finished speaking, he was very keenly aware of his gaffe, so he smiled heartlessly and said, "Are you students who came to explore?"

Ren Yugong and I looked at each other and said, "We're just strolling here."

"is it?"

While speaking, the black-haired young man showed a deep smile, and he didn't seem to believe what I said.But I don't think we should get too involved with him.After all, we've only just learned that this is where the mafia once fought.This person ran over to reminisce, maybe he was also a member of the Mafia.Now we are all students from other places, so we don't have to talk to him.At the same time, at the end of the corridor, someone in a wheelchair came towards the place where we were talking.

"Mr. Dazai, is anyone here? Need help?"

The black-haired young man sitting on the bar chair looked at him and said, "It's nothing, Mr. Orihara. It's just that two students came for sightseeing."

The dialogues seem sparse and mundane, but I feel like they're not meant to be purely reminiscent.

"We won't bother you anymore."

When I left the restaurant with Ren Amamiya, I noticed from the corner of my eye the black-haired young man came out of the restaurant, standing in the distance and silently staring in the direction we left.

Yu Gonglian noticed my unnatural expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

I just wanted to say it's okay, but it was only for a moment that I realized that this might be an opportunity.Even if you don't eat curry rice, going to a western food house can be a memory-awakening experience.

The form of this awakening is arbitrary.

"...Last time it said that a four-digit password is required, Amamiya, maybe you can try "0429". "

"You remember?"

"Try it first, then talk."

The author has something to say:

Orihara is following the follow-up story of him already in a wheelchair.

If you don’t know Orihara, just understand that he is a boss-level character behind the scenes who likes to make trouble, and his intelligence is close to monsters. I can’t write about Ikebukuro.

Surprised that so many people turned their backs on Yu Gonggu! !
