Substitutes are not a problem

Chapter102 (finale)

A small remote fishing village near the sea in Iwate Prefecture, Japan, today is also a calm day. The tsunami that almost completely destroyed the place seems to be a very long time ago, and there are not many traces to be found.

The government has supported post-disaster reconstruction here, and this area has also taken this opportunity to develop tourism, and the economy has improved slightly in recent years.

Summer is coming, which is a good time for seaside travel. From time to time, some tourists will visit this remote and quiet small fishing village.

On a minibus heading to the village, Yuan Rina, who was sitting by the window, quietly looked at the scenery outside the window.

She set off yesterday. She first took the Shinkansen to Morioka, the capital of Iwate Prefecture, and then took a long-distance bus to the nearest city to this fishing village. Finally, she took a special minibus line from that city and finally arrived here. .

It took so much effort to come to this little-known little place for only one reason—to fulfill the promise that was three years late due to amnesia.

She promised the little girl named Araki Genrina that she would return to this hometown for the other party, and would take another look at the sea that was still in her heart at the last moment of her life.

The car arrived at the station and stopped at the entrance of the village.

After the few passengers in the same car got off in twos and threes, Yuan Rina was the last one to get out of the bus. The scorching sun and the humidity of the sea came together in an instant.

Walking in the quiet fishing village, time seems to stand still, and the only movement seems to be the lazily passing cats on the corner of the street.

In the very center of the village, there is a memorial stone monument to commemorate and comfort the people who died in that tsunami.

Standing still in front of the stele, Yuan Rina gently stroked the bracelet on her left wrist with her right hand, the bracelet with her name and birthday engraved on it.

"You went home."

It seems to be talking to himself, and it seems to be speaking to the owner of the bracelet.

Then, I walked towards the sea, wanting to let the owner of the bracelet feel the sea breeze of his hometown, and listen to the sound of the waves that he never forgets.

On the way, I also received a call from Tsunayoshi Sawada.

On the phone, Gang Ji was so aggrieved that she was about to cry and complained to her, saying that a strange new tutor suddenly came to the family today, and she was very rude to him as soon as he arrived.

private teacher?

When she heard this, her first reaction was, does Nana Sawada really want to become a strict mother to supervise her son?

But it is more likely that Mr. Sawada Iemitsu, who is far away on the other side of the world, finally began to consider letting Tsuna Yoshiko inherit his father's business, so he sent a professional to guide him.However, no matter which one it is, it will be an important growth for Tsunayoshi.

It's not wrong to want to be an ordinary salted fish.But if you choose to give up without trying your best to do something even once, then you are really useless.

"Really...then Tsunaki, you should study hard with your tutor, come on... Ah, the signal here is not very good, hang up first."

Minamoto Rina purposely took the phone away to create a poor signal situation in a remote area, and hung up the phone.

After putting away the phone, he turned around, looked behind him expressionlessly and said, "You've been following me all the way, aren't you tired? Come out."

After being warned so bluntly, a man wearing sunglasses finally walked out from the corner behind, a little embarrassed.

"Long time no see, my former personal bodyguard Nozawa-kun." Yuan Rina joked.

Ryo Nozawa said that he didn't want to do this kind of work either, but he just beat the workers, and he was a worker who only died on the job but never resigned, so he couldn't help it!

A few days ago, he finally exhausted all his brain cells to complete the reorganization and integration of the entertainment company acquired by Sen's Co., Ltd., but the leader gave him another job with a smile——

[Nozawa-kun, after successfully completing this task, you can return to the Black Lizard. 】

Now that the stalking was discovered, he no longer racked his brains to find the right time. Ryo Nozawa hastily took out an envelope from his pocket and completed his messenger work: "This is what the leader entrusted me to deliver to you." , please accept it!"

Knowing that this is an unlucky ghost who was forced to work as a tool for the black-hearted boss, Yuan Rina accepted the letter without embarrassing him.

As soon as the task was completed, Nozawa Ryo didn't stay for a second, and even turned around and ran back to the business.

Yay, he was finally able to go back to the Black Lizard and continue to simply fight and kill!

He who was mistakenly involved in this weird emotional situation finally came out alive woo woo woo!

……

Today's sea area is calm and calm, which makes people's mood calm down unconsciously.

Yuan Rina sat down on a rock by the sea and opened the envelope.

In the envelope, besides a page of letter paper, there is also a small velvet box.

When she opened the small velvet box, she was surprised by what was inside—it was her and his pair of wedding rings.

Unfolding that piece of letter paper, what caught my eye was the all-too-familiar handwriting——

[To my dear Ms. Yuan: Speaking of which, I have never written to you.And you wrote to me 23 years ago, please forgive my reply 23 years late.First of all, don't just tear up this letter, let's talk after reading it, just take another look, okay, just one more look. 】

Heh, I also know that if she is agitated, she might tear it up without even looking at it.

Looking at the shameless words on the letter paper with the emoticons, Yuan Rina couldn't help but chuckled.

Well, then she will take another look.

[To be honest, I didn't expect that we would come to this point.Because I feel that if I fall in love with someone, then I will definitely not let go, so I will not say generous blessings as long as you are happy, and I will definitely do everything possible to keep the person I love in me By my side, I will not sleep until I die... No, it should be said that I will not sleep until I die, and I will be buried with the person I love when I die, and I will live and die in the same bed. 】

How dare you say it, who wants to be a ghost couple with you.

Shouldn't she be thankful that she was blown to ashes when the port mafia thought she was destroyed in that base?

Otherwise, if the bones were recovered in good condition, he was afraid that someone would steal her body back and wait for it to be buried with him a few years later.

Death will never be spared, as expected of you, Mori Ogai.

[However, facing you, I still chose to let go. I actually had the stupid and cowardly idea that as long as you are happy... Sure enough, you are the only exception in my life.

I choose to let it go because I know very well that I, the port mafia boss Mori Ogai, cannot put you above everything else.

And I don't want to see you die again and experience that pain again, absolutely not.

However, Morin Taro, who loves you, will always regard you as the most important treasure in this life. How can a priceless treasure be measured by benefits.

Just like the novel dedicated to you, Mori Ogai cannot achieve the established ending, but Morintaro will change it for you.

Life is short, happiness is but a moment.But for me, that moment is all about you, I don't want to regret it, I don't want to regret it, so...]

……

"Life is short, if you feel happy with the snap of your fingers, if you don't laugh, you will regret it in the future... I thought so at the time. I really lost to my former self."

Yokohama, the office of the head of the port mafia headquarters, Mori Ogai stood in front of the French windows, overlooking the city, muttering the words he wrote in a novel when he was 17 years old.

Behind her, Alice lay on the carpet and flipped through the old magazine that published "Bubble", and said with a smile: "The more people look back on the past, the more they are old."

"Although Alice-chan said that, it makes me very sad, but...it is true, so people have to look forward."

Mori Ogai sighed in relief, and rarely smiled from the bottom of his heart, looking at the sea in the distance of Yokohama Port: "If it can be done, I hope this life is only for Rintaro... Ah, my future On the epitaph, don’t write Mori Ogai, and don’t write the port mafia leader, just write… Morin Taro, a little doctor who likes literature, and will always love a blonde and blue-eyed Miss Alice.”

……

【So, if one day I can take off all the shackles on my body, can I, who is just Morin Taro, come to you again?

Well, don't worry, I won't ignore your wishes.Dear Ms. Rina Araki, feel free to pursue your new life, meet and embrace your future lover.

If one day you decide on the person who will accompany you through the years to come, throw this pair of rings that symbolize the past into the sea in Yokohama, and I will bless you in the past.

If you haven't met such a person before we meet again.So, can you give Forest Taro another chance?For Morintaro, Rina Araki is above everything in the world.

Well, there's a lot more I want to tell you, or... I can't finish it at all.That being the case, let me stop here, let me have a glimmer of hope for the future, and hope that I will have the opportunity to tell you slowly in the future.

Ah, and, and, come on, if you pass the exam, you will be my primary school girl.

Although it is obviously impossible to break the record of getting a bachelor's degree when I was 17 years old.But seniors, I look forward to our names appearing together on the alumni roster.

Finally, take care of yourself.If you encounter any troubles that are difficult to solve, don't get entangled or get angry, I am willing to help you at any time.

Ah, wait, wait, there is the last sentence, it is really the last sentence, and finally I want to say... I love you... I look forward to meeting you in the future, Morin Taro. 】

After reading the letter, Yuan Rina did not read it a second time.Instead, put it back into the envelope together with the small velvet box containing the ring, and said with a chuckle: "If you have this skill, why don't you practice writing novels, you... Really, the writing style has regressed so much, the 17-year-old Morintaro I will laugh at you when I see it..."

And on the put away page of letter paper, where the final signature was signed, the handwriting of the pen and ink had already been smudged.

Raising his hand to wipe away the moisture from the corners of his eyes, he muttered to himself: "The seaside, it's really wet."

The future is as unknown as the sea in front of you, and you can't know what you will encounter.

So, how about you, are you also looking at the sea?

Driving on their respective waterways, on the vast sea, will there be a point of intersection?

Maybe……
