After rebirth, I became Tokyo Sentimental

Chapter 137 136. An expert can tell whether there is any
The endless lake was rippling with clear water, sparkling like broken glass.

The green grass was bent by the wind.

Near the edge of the lake, red trout occasionally jump out of the water, splashing water that sparkles with light. Wild ducks swim by in groups, and one or two will suddenly dive to the bottom of the water and disappear, only to reappear in the water in the distance a dozen seconds later.

There is a sense of joy in the air.

Yuanye Si stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the blue water and sky.

The sky is as blue as the sea.

The clouds are white without a trace of dust.

Lake Toya, as part of Shikotsu-Toya National Park, is a tourist attraction in Hokkaido. It is also the third largest crater lake in Japan. Due to the scarcity of tourists, it has a kind of quiet beauty that is isolated from the world.

In the summer when Kansai and Kanto are both hit by heat waves, Hokkaido is still cool with temperatures over 20 degrees.

This kind of coolness cannot be compared with air conditioning.

The place called Snow Country also has a meaning of existence in summer. At least Harano Tsukasa can intuitively feel that the purpose of traveling is to relax oneself.

Take your eyes off Lake Toya.

Harano Si turned his head to look at the face of the person next to him.

Kurosaki Orizuki's long eyelashes trembled slightly in the light refracted by the lakeside reflected on the water surface. Her skin, which was so pale that the veins could be seen, was given a rosy color by the warm sunlight. The lace hem of her long skirt swayed gently in the gentle breeze.

Perhaps it was because the material of her skirt was relatively soft, so the wind blew out her round shape.

She just stood there quietly.

There is a kind of quiet and elegant temperament emerging.

Coupled with her slender waist and obviously frail body, it is hard not to feel the urge to pounce on her and ravage her.

I like to divide it into physiological and psychological.

The same goes for wanting to bully others.

If a child like Shigeeda Shio is as innocent as a piece of white paper, making people want to use a pen filled with ink to draw their own shape on it, then Kurosaki Orizuki has a kind of broken mentality that makes people want to wreak havoc on her body.

In addition, her body, which is as fragile as glass and will break at the slightest touch, makes people like her physiologically.

Kurosaki Orizuki clasped her hands in front of her abdomen, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and did not turn her head. However, as if she could sense his thoughts, she opened her slightly red lips and said calmly, "It's been two nights in a row. Haven't you quenched your thirst yet?"

"This matter should not be related to quenching thirst. Have you ever seen a child who can stop eating this kind of thing after two days?"

"You are a child?"

"Yes." Yuan Ye Si nodded as a matter of course, and then added with a smile: "Is a 292-month-old child no longer a child?"

“……” Kurosaki Orizuki glanced at him.

"Let's take a walk. It would be nice to just stay here and sunbathe, but we're here anyway."

"it is good."

Maybe because it was the weekend, there were quite a few people walking along the lakeside of Lake Toya, mostly elderly couples walking together, and students taking pictures.

Some people also gather together for picnics.

The laughter and chatter were mixed with the chirping of birds.

If it is just a simple trip, it would be more pleasant to walk along the coastal road of Cape Kamui later.

At some point, while taking a walk, Harano Tsukasa suddenly felt his palms getting cold. He looked down and saw that Kurosaki Orizuki had already taken his hand without changing her expression, and her body had moved closer. Her left hand was gently pulling his arm, and they were holding hands like a normal couple taking a walk by the lake.

But it was not too tight, and it stuck to Harano Tsukasa's arm, which was only wearing a thin jacket. As the two of them walked, there was a faint feeling of caressing.

Big is justice, soft is reason.

Even if they have tasted it, men are the kind of creatures who will keep eating something they like.

Especially this kind of thing where you do something excessive first and then return to the initial ambiguity, putting the cart before the horse may not necessarily be ineffective. Anyway, this kind of behavior, which is similar to getting married first and falling in love later, makes Harano Si feel itchy for a while.

It is indeed an aged tea!

There is still a foundation!

As soon as the expert takes action, he will know if there is any!

"When I was a kid, I saw a host on a local TV station say that Lake Toya is a non-frozen lake, so I thought it would be warm here, and I always begged my mother to take me there. At that time, I was ignorant and didn't understand my mother. I didn't even know that it would take eight or nine hours to get here by bus from my hometown. I just wanted to be here."

Just as his mind was wavering, Kurosaki Orizuki did not press on with her advances, as if such ambiguous behavior was very normal for them. The reason they stayed one more day was just to come to Lake Toya for a date. Instead, she broke the rules and spoke softly about her childhood memories.

"Is it finally here?" Upon hearing this, Yuan Ye Si immediately turned off the auto-aim and asked a question following her topic.

"I'm here." A look of nostalgia emerged in Kurosaki Orizuki's dark eyes, and her crimson lips slightly opened: "My mother woke me up before dawn and took me on a long bus ride to get here. It was almost dark at the time, I remember it very clearly."

"It turns out that this place is not warm at all. On the contrary, it is not much different from my hometown. So I was ignorant and had a big fight with my mother, saying that TV was a lie. But in fact, as a child, I was being unfilial and unreasonable."

"Then what?" Yuan Ye Si asked cooperatively.

“Then we went back.”

She continued, "After we got back, we were beaten up by that man. My mother's hair was pulled out, one of her teeth fell out, her hands were tied with belts, and her wrists were bruised. The next day after being beaten, she could only take care of them despite her illness."

"What about you?" Although Harano Tsukasa had heard Suzumiya Saka talk about her tragic experience before, it was never as detailed as what she told it now.

"I was locked in my room for three days."

After he finished speaking, Kurosaki Orizuki suddenly stopped, and stopped him with her hands that were originally holding and hugging him. After slightly raising her chin to meet Harano Tsukasa's strange gaze, she said, "I'm not saying this to gain sympathy by showing you my miserable childhood experiences, but to ask you a question."

"Is that why? Why did mother endure that life? Why didn't she just leave there?"

Harano looked into her eyes.

Without a trace of impurities.

It seems like he is really concentrating on asking this question.

"Because of you?" he guessed.

"I used to think so, but later found out that it was not the case." Kurosaki Orizuki shook his head and replied.

"Since you've already found the answer, why not just tell me? Why bother asking me a question?"

Yuan Ye Si said with a funny look on his face.

Kurosaki Orizuki forced a smile, as if thinking of some bad memories, and his originally bright eyes suddenly dimmed: "I was afraid that you didn't want to listen."

"Since I have received your payment, I am not so bad as not to complete the commission. If you want me to be a detective and make inferences, I am afraid I can't do it, but as a listener, I am still patient."

Harano Tsukasa watched the body in front of him continue to lean forward and press against his chest. He felt that Kurosaki Orizuki was deliberately adding fuel to the fire, as if he had forgotten the painful memories from before.

It seems that there is no need to hold it in my mouth anymore.

Got to bite again!

Although he already knew Kurosaki Orizuki's purpose from the wish list after just a glance, he still cooperated with the other party and asked, "Then why?"

"Because of love."

"..."

"My mother told me that before they got married, the man would travel thirty kilometers every day to see her in order to pursue her." The magnificent breasts that Kurosaki Orizuki had pressed against his chest suddenly moved away.

"And he never went empty-handed. He would either bring a bracelet woven with mountain flowers or a strange shell he had fished out from the bottom of the sea. Sometimes he would use his hard-earned salary from fishing to buy a box of snacks like mirror cakes, which he would carefully hold in his arms."

"It's quite romantic." Harano Tsukasa commented.

"I thought it was romantic, too, but I didn't quite believe it until my mother showed me their old photos."

Kurosaki Orizuki pursed his lips and continued:

"The mother in the photo is very young and extremely pretty. She is an absolute beauty and is well-known in several nearby villages. Although the man is not very handsome, he looks very simple and trustworthy."

"And then they got together?"

Of course, Yuan Ye Si could guess the ending. Love in the countryside is very simple, at least at the beginning.

"Yes, they were together with the blessing of both parents and other people in the village." Kurosaki Orizuki smiled for a moment, then retracted the smile after a few seconds: "Until I was born."

"You should know that Japan is a country that values boys over girls, and in villages like Hokkaido where the economy is backward and the cultural level is low, the situation is even worse."

"Because you can't serve as a laborer?"

"Yes and no."

Kurosaki Orizuki thought for a moment, then met Harano Tsukasa's gaze again. After a moment's silence, he spoke: "I think you must have heard of the profession of Ama, which is women who engage in diving and fishing."

"This profession still exists today, right in the village, but it's not as popular as when I was a child."

"If I can become a female ama, I can be a part of the family's labor force when I grow up, instead of just being a child who grows up eating free meals. Even if the idea of favoring boys over girls is more serious, they won't be too harsh on me." The profession of female ama sounds romantic.

But it is actually a high-risk profession.

Diving barehanded without any safety measures to search for valuable seafood is not as simple as holding your breath underwater, opening your eyes, and then grabbing something and going ashore.

This occupation is extremely dangerous.

It is not impossible to encounter sharks when going into the sea.

"But you have asthma." Harano Tsukasa listened patiently and filled in the last piece of the puzzle for her.

"Yes, the name ama sounds nice, but in fact, there is no diving equipment. It is just named because of the ability to dive alone. But with my body, I can't hold my breath underwater, let alone on land."

"Plus, the man was extremely filial to his parents. Later, he became addicted to gambling and owed a lot of debts. When I was three years old, a bunch of people came to my house to collect the debts. Everything changed."

"He started to become irritable, venting his emotions by swearing, throwing things, and then hitting people."

"Even towards the mother he once loved the most, he did not hesitate to hit her. It seemed that the harder you hit her, the deeper your love for her really came true. Even after having those two children, he never stopped."

"But I know that's not love. It's just a mother's love giving in, and then becoming more outrageous because of the giving in."

"When in love, he takes off all the clothes one by one. When not in love, he punches me. This may be the true portrayal of a man's infidelity. Whether in the village of my hometown or in the big city of Tokyo, it is not an isolated case. It's just that the memory is more vivid in my case. After all, I was forced to experience it."

Kurosaki Orizuki's voice was very calm, as if she was just a spectator, but her hands, which had been warmed by Harano Tsukasa, clenched involuntarily while she spoke, and it was obvious that she was not as calm as she seemed on the surface.

In fact, she is both unfortunate and lucky.

After all, amniotic fluid is the watershed of life. It is beyond the reach of ordinary people to be able to escape from a family that is so bad.

But after listening to her tragic experience, Harano Tsukasa still expressed a different opinion: "Is it biased and too much to directly expand the scope of domestic violence from the domestic violence group to the scope of men?"

"Is it too much? I don't think so."

Kurosaki Orizuki said calmly: "Take cheating for example, women cheat mostly because of being moved, but if men cheat, I'm afraid it's mostly because of a new hole."

"Not always."

"Oh?"

"If you don't believe me, look over there."

Kurosaki Orizuki raised his eyebrows slightly and looked in the direction where Harano Tsukasa raised his chin. He saw a young couple standing on the lake viewing platform about ten meters away from them, confronting each other.

It’s not accurate to call it a confrontation. It was more like they were fighting over a mobile phone and arguing with unexpected expressions.

And they quarreled very loudly.

It has reached the point where I don't care about other people.

Among them, the young man wearing round-frame glasses had veins faintly visible on his forehead, and his whole handsome face turned red. With both hands, he grabbed the mobile phone hidden in the arms of the young woman opposite him and refused to let go.

"Jiano, who is that man!?"

"Who is who is who! You only know how to ask questions like this every day. Can't I have a little privacy?"

"Is this private? I just saw you chatting with him so intimately on your phone. Are you friends? What kind of friends want to meet at ten o'clock tonight?"

"Can't we just have a small gathering as friends?" The young woman said angrily, clutching her cell phone tightly.

"Then why did you say you had booked a room?"

The man with round glasses roared.

"So don't we need to rest after drinking? So what's so strange about booking a room?"

"Isn't it weird? My girlfriend is going to drink with another man tonight, and you just told me that you have a family gathering tonight, but you went to a bar with another man. What's more, you can't go home to rest after drinking? So the hotel only opened one room, right? Why do you still want to lie to me now!"

It was obvious that the man who had just seen the chat records no longer believed in his girlfriend. He felt heartbroken and raised doubts at the same time.

That's the hysteria in his roar.

The young woman was so angry that she even gave up on pretending.

The beautiful young woman suddenly let go of the man, causing him to stagger. His body hit the railing of the lake-viewing platform and he almost fell into the lake. But the woman didn't care whether he was in danger or not, but screamed like crazy.

"Yes! That's right! I lied to you!"

"Look! Look! Look!"

"Other people can get LV after quarreling, but I can only get PUA after quarreling with you. Why?"

"I just want to sleep with her!"

"What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied?"

"Then you should become a rich second generation too! Even if you are not a rich second generation, please don't disgust me with cheap things like the scarf you knitted for me all night and the paper cranes you folded. I am too embarrassed to show them to others!"

"Break up!"

"I'm not as stupid as I was back then. What a bullshit love! I don't want to live such a bad life. I don't want to be with a poor guy like you anymore!"

Under the almost dull gaze of the man wearing round-frame glasses, the beautiful woman, who seemed to have vented all the anger in her chest, looked at him with disgust in her eyes, walked forward and effortlessly took back her mobile phone, then turned around and walked away from him.

Even when she was almost out of sight, the woman didn't even turn her head back, showing no sign of lingering.

After the woman walked away, the man, who seemed to have lost his soul, laughed at himself and took out a red box from his trouser pocket, which obviously contained jewelry.

He raised his hand as if to throw it into the lake.

But the next moment, he seemed to feel that he was wasting money on her and felt even more sorry for himself, so he retracted his hand, put it back into his pocket, and left the lake-viewing platform with his head down in silence, but he walked in the opposite direction of the woman.

The lake viewing platform soon became empty.

It was as if no one had been here.

If Harano Tsukasa and the others had arrived a few minutes later, they would probably have only admired the lake view and would not have thought that a betrayal and breakup drama had just taken place here.

Kurosaki Oritsuki just looked away.

There was a voice in my ear.

"So most women cheat just because they are attracted to someone?" Harano Tsukasa said with a smile, holding her hand.

Just encountering this kind of scene, even Kurosaki Orizuki, who had already prepared a speech, remained silent. After pursing his crimson lips for a while, he said: "She is just an exception."

"You know very well whether this is an isolated case or not. I can accept Suzumiya Sasaka being unreasonable, but you can't."

"…Um."

"Then let's go?"

After he said this, Kurosaki Orizuki showed no intention of raising her foot, but instead asked abruptly, "Will you become a domestic violence man in the future?"

Yuan Ye Si turned his head and stared at her for a few seconds.

"Domestic violence man? From the perspective of superficiality and the image a man has to maintain in front of women, I'm not one of them."

"But who can tell what will happen in the future?"

"But I personally think that I probably won't do that. After all, I have money and won't have any material pressure. It's said that poor couples have many sorrows, and this is true. As for other aspects, if you insist on saying that I would throw something at a woman, it wouldn't be anger."

Hearing his last sentence, Kurosaki Orizuki took a deep breath. After being dragged into this topic, he felt that his chest, which had been forgotten for a long time, began to ache again. He couldn't help but secretly spit and couldn't help but complain: "You really can't stop talking about that thing every three sentences."

"It's just the nature of men."

Yuan Ye Si is not shy about his hobbies.

Kurosaki Orizuki looked at him sideways, and the hand that was in his palm began to prick his palm with the sharp tips of the nails, just like a boyfriend who made his girlfriend angry and began to take revenge. She said in a mocking voice: "So your nature is to go beyond the law and you don't even have a moral bottom line. If I say that I agree with what you said before, will you agree with it?"

"For you, I can sacrifice myself. After all, we are friends." Yuan Ye Si said this sincerely.

Drill several wells with one water pump.

Isn’t this unfair?

After all, no matter how wear-resistant the water pump is, it is still made of iron, so it will be corroded day after day.

But from Kurosaki Orizuki's perspective.

She obviously didn't think so.

"You are still feeling wronged..." Kurosaki Orizuki knew that he was thick-skinned, but these words refreshed her perception again.

Yuan Ye Si ignored her speechless look and thought of her current wish. He then said in a seductive tone, "Let's not talk about whether it's unfair or not. If you really want to win the game that makes me fall in love with you, I can teach you a way."

"You teach me? What method?"

"Fight me a tough battle and I'll tell you."
