Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 425, Section 422: The Eve Festival of Gensokyo (1)

"I'm gonna start now."

Early in the morning, a family of three was having breakfast inside Karasawa-ya, which had a "Closed" sign hanging at the door.

Today's breakfast was very plentiful: grilled eel rice bowl, seared marbled beef slices, seasonal vegetable salad, and seafood miso soup.

Although it felt surreal, this might be their last family meal together in their lives, so they ate with extra care.

"Are you ready?" Father Hiroyuki Karakawa slowly put down the porcelain bowl in his hand, which was now completely empty.

"Don't rush us. It's rare for the whole family to be able to eat together in peace, so let's calm down." Mother Karasawa Maiko said calmly, but there was a hint of lecturing in her words.

“Don’t worry, Dad.” His daughter, Karasawa Saki, gracefully took a sip of her miso soup and gently put down her bowl. “We’ll definitely succeed this time.”

"Did it succeed?" Hiroyuki Karakawa glanced at his daughter with a troubled and conflicted expression, then suddenly scolded her sharply: "I don't care about any of that. Just don't die, or I'll make you pay!"

"What's wrong? Why are you being so fierce all of a sudden!" Karasu Saki was a little startled, after all, she hadn't seen her father speak so seriously in a long time.

"Well, what Dad means is that you should be careful." Karasu Maiko said casually, "Actually, if possible, we would prefer that Aya not get involved. You've already done enough."

"Mom and Dad, you're the ones who are going to do the most dangerous things. You should worry about yourselves!" Karasawa Saki forced a bright smile.
"As for me, I'm just marching with the student group, so I won't encounter any trouble."

“Well, Wenwen is right, we should care more about ourselves~” Karasu Maiko laughed along.

"Heh, those guys are real bastards. They went to Tokyo Tower to die, and then they dragged us into it too." Hiroyuki Karakawa became agitated, vigorously rubbing his hair.
"I knew that brat was a troublemaker! If anything happens to you, I'll never forgive him!"

"It's not his fault, blaming him won't help~" Karasu Maiko shook her head with a wry smile: "Forget it, let's not talk about such depressing things. We need to eat first so we'll have the energy to do things~"

"."

The family of three fell silent at the same time, and then continued to enjoy their breakfast.

After breakfast, Hiroyuki Karasukawa went to the study, Maiko Karasukawa went to the master bedroom, and Saki Karasukawa went to her own bedroom.

Although the three of them had no idea what the others were doing, their actions were remarkably consistent.

They each took out a piece of paper and a pen, and wrote their own suicide notes on the desk.

Ten minutes later, Hiroyuki Karakawa, with a stern face, folded the will and respectfully stuffed it into the bookcase like a samurai about to die.

Karasu Maiko quickly finished writing her suicide note, smiled bitterly, folded it neatly, and put it in her bedside table.

Karasu Saki doesn't know how she finished writing it. She only feels that by the end, her vision has completely blurred, and a hot tear fell onto the letter.

She is a young person; she has a bright future ahead of her and many things she hasn't experienced yet.

She was afraid of death and didn't want to die today.
But she had to fight, not only for herself and her family and friends, but also for that boy.

Even if the boy no longer acknowledges their past grievances and treats her feelings so lightly, she will never forget him.

Her gratitude, guilt, and love for the boy are treasures she intends to cherish for a lifetime.

Her parents must have understood her feelings, so they gave up on stopping her from doing dangerous things.

[Dad, Mom, my most cherished friends, and Kyushu-kun. I hope that after today, we can see each other again and laugh together like before.] [Written by Karasukawa Saki, March 26, 20XX]

She folded the letter and put it in her desk drawer, then wiped away her tears, tidied her clothes, and left the room.

Soon, the family of three, fully armed, gathered at the entrance of the Karasawa-ya.

Hiroichi Karakawa's attire of a black suit and white shirt perfectly embodies the image of a Japanese yakuza from a movie or TV series.

Wearing a black cycling outfit and goggles around her neck, Maiko Karasu looked dashing.

Karasukawa Saki was dressed in a business suit that allowed for easy movement, which is her usual attire for a reporter. However, this time, her handbag contained emergency medication and a small self-defense weapon.

"Well, I'm heading out now," Karasu Sakifumi said first.

"Come back soon," Maiko Karasu said gently.

"..." Hiroyuki Karakawa sighed deeply and said with a grim face, "Keep your phone on and don't lose contact."

"Yes, Mom and Dad, take care too!" Karasu Saki nodded with a smile.

As if they could no longer bear the heavy atmosphere, the three opened the door and left one after another.

Tokyo, Taito Ward, Yamaya area

This place, along with "Sumimachi" in Yokohama, is known as one of the two major slums in the Kanto region. At this time, it was also a temporary gathering place for many people who intended to rebel against the Japanese government.

Karasu Maiko rode her purple-green motorcycle to an abandoned park where hundreds of people had already gathered, and countless motorcycles and sports cars were parked in rows.

This group included not only members of [Heavenly Creation] and [New Heavenly Creation], but also more than five hundred ambitious individuals who had come to join them during these days.

"Big Sister, you've arrived!" It was Qing Jiushun who greeted her.
We thought you weren't planning on coming!

"She must have needed to say goodbye to her family; it must have taken her some time," said Tenyu Yejie, walking over with his hands in his pockets and smoking a cigarette.
"It's good that they came. Actually, even if some people didn't want to come, we can't blame them."

“Everyone’s here, how could I possibly desert?” Karasu Maiko joked. “I just want to cook them a good meal.”

"I understand. What an enviable mother." Tianyu Yejie nodded with deep emotion, extinguishing his cigarette. "Then let's go to the meeting."

Tonight, the "Rampage Alliance" will act as vanguards and guerrillas, using their high mobility to create chaos in the area near Tokyo Tower and establish a breakthrough.

Kagari Otonashi had prepared bulletproof vests and weapons for them beforehand. Because of this, they knew that tonight's mission was no longer a small-scale skirmish, but a war where life and death were at stake.

"Everyone, it's a pleasure to see you all here!" Tenyu Yesuke, standing before the assembled crowd, addressed the assembled biker gang as their unifying leader:

"I admire your courage to stand up, and I am very grateful to you!"

After saying this, Tianyu Yejie bowed deeply to everyone, and then said:
"Tonight's operation will be divided into three teams. I will command one team, Maiko will command one team, and Seine will command one team. Each team will follow the command of its captain and maintain communication with each other."

"Also, although it might be a bit redundant for me to say this, I hope everyone can come back alive."

"That's it, be prepared!"
