Chapter 270 Tragedy
Kato Ayaka and Miyamoto Kentaro met in an izakaya outside Waseda University.Not only did she notice that he was dressed in black from head to toe, but there was also some sadness in his expression.

Kato Ayaka paid careful attention to her words: "What happened?"

Kentaro Miyamoto said truthfully: "Kitamura Kenichi committed suicide. Do you still remember him? He is the boy we met at this year's Tokyo Comic Con. He also wanted to take pictures of you."

Kato Ayaka immediately remembered such a thing in her mind, and asked in surprise: "Why did he commit suicide? In my personal impression, the other person was a fairly cheerful and outgoing boy!"

Kentaro Miyamoto picked up the glass of beer in front of him, raised his head and drank it all in one breath: "Just a few days ago, I had a drink with him alone.

At that time, he and his girlfriend had just broken up.However, from my point of view, it is not at all like he chose to commit suicide because of this incident.

At that time, he gave me the feeling that he was not intoxicated by the pain in his heart because he broke up with his girlfriend.I heard someone at the funeral say that Kitamura Kenichi owed a lot of debts during his lifetime.

From what I know about him, he is not the kind of boy who has no restraint on consumption or has bad habits.Therefore, it is difficult to say what caused him to commit suicide. "

Kato Ayaka said sternly: "You are a rich man. I'm afraid you really don't understand the difficulties and embarrassment of the poor, especially the in-depth understanding of the group of people who come to Beijing to work hard. They have exhausted all their strength just to stay alive.

The cost of living in Tokyo is definitely ridiculously high for them.Without the pressure of survival, it is simply impossible.You will definitely wonder, why don't they return to their hometown?

Except for those central cities in Japan, the decline of population and economy is not only obvious, but also impossible to stop.

Before this, the Japanese government had not implemented some so-called local economic revitalization measures, but they still had no results.

Many young Japanese people stay in their hometowns and may not even be able to find a decent job.Even if it is found, the income will not be very high, and there may even be arrears.

Instead of wasting time in your hometown, why not come to Tokyo and have a try.No matter what, you can still take a look at the prosperity and liveliness of Tokyo, an international metropolis, which is not a waste of time. "

When she said this, she stretched out her right hand to pick up the beer glass, raised her head and took a big sip, and then said: "Such an ordinary izakaya is nothing to you, not even to me.

This is really too common and common, and it gives us the illusion that everyone can afford it.In fact, that's not the case at all.

I remember Kensei Kitamura was a temporary worker in a convenience store.I figured he would work the night shift every day. After all, this way, the income would be a little more than the day shift.

Calculated based on 1100 yen, working eight hours a day is 8800 yen.This is directly calculated as 9000 yen.Working five days a week, that’s 4.5 yen.

After a month, I can get 18 yen.It stands to reason that it looks pretty good, isn’t it completely enough?You don’t have to work crazy overtime until late at night like ordinary office workers, and get off work when the time comes. How great!
In fact, that is just an appearance.For example, in a convenience store job, how long do you have to stand?Although I have never done it, I have heard it from classmates who have done it.

At first, if you are not used to it, your feet will feel numb or even cramp when you stand.Even if I get used to standing later, I will still have back pain and stiffness in my legs and calves from time to time.

Even young people around 20 years old will have such physical reactions, not to mention those middle-aged people who are still older.In addition, I once heard you say that he also draws comics part-time in his free time.Although there is no fame, there is still some extra income.

We directly made full use of the money and gave Kitamura Kenichi a stable monthly income of 20 yen.This does not include deductions for medical insurance, resident tax, national pension, etc.

Generally speaking, if those are deducted from a monthly income of 20 yen, the money you get is only 20 to [-] yen.Even so, this is considered quite good among Japanese young people in their [-]s.

If you are a fan of ACGN, you are not aware that many Japanese young people pursue their dreams of becoming cartoonists, but they can only work as assistants to cartoonists.

There are many people who don’t even have [-] yen per month.Whether it is a comic studio or an animation company, this is not the first time that various news about squeezing these young artists have been revealed.

Furthermore, don’t forget that people like Kenichi Kitamura who are hired informally do not receive half-year bonuses for two seasons a year. "

The reason why Kato Ayaka's words became much more complicated than usual was not because she was filled with righteous indignation because of Kitamura Kenichi's suicide.

In fact, she didn't feel much about Kenichi Kitamura's suicide in her heart.I just know that there is such a person as the other person.

What really makes her talk more is because she hasn't seen Kentaro Miyamoto for a long time, and it feels like a little separation is better than a newlywed.

Kentaro Miyamoto said thoughtfully: "Don't talk about 20 yen, even 15 yen is enough for Kitamura Kenichi alone!"

Kato Ayaka said bluntly: "Didn't you say that he has dated a girlfriend? An income of 15 yen a month and having a relationship is definitely not enough.

It’s not like you don’t know that some low-level workers in small and medium-sized enterprises only eat one piece of bread or one rice ball for lunch every day in order to save money and spend it on social gatherings and other activities.

As a boy, if he cares about face more, it is entirely possible that he will borrow money.What's more, this kind of thing is very normal in Japan.

My personal guess is that if Kitamura Kenichi had borrowed money before and used it for his life and personal hobbies, and he was unable to pay it off at once every month and then make installments, the debt would be like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger.

A foreigner like him would not have any real friends in Tokyo.Borrowing money between informally employed colleagues is absolutely no good.

What's more, the current relationship between people is indifferent, especially in Tokyo.People like him, if they need money urgently, probably won't seriously calculate interest or anything like that.

Even if none of this happens to him, he will occasionally spend money randomly because of his long-term embarrassment.Regardless of impulsiveness or whatever, once an adult's money is spent, he cannot get it back. "
