People in Tokyo, the world is clear

He remained silent for a long time.

Silence was the Sasagawa residence this morning.

But not the apartment in the afternoon.

Lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling in a daze, Lin Sen felt bored.

I've been working all week. Dragon Tiger House is closed on weekends, so I decided to take advantage of today to relax and have a good rest.

But problems arise as soon as I have some free time.

These days are really far away from the Internet age, and the two biggest interests, computers and mobile phones, are sealed tightly.

The shabby apartment cannot afford high-end appliances, so I can't even afford to watch TV programs.

The salted fish turned over, sighed, and stood up like a carp.

"Let's go to the rooftop and relax."

The spring breeze has turned warmer.

Step out of the rooftop entrance, relax your pace, and gaze at the distant view in the gentle air.

The building I was on was one of the shorter ones nearby, so the first thing I saw was a taller residential building nearby.

The closely spaced balconies were covered in rusted iron railings. Further away, overlapping commercial signs, red lettering on a white background intersecting with unlit colored lights on a black background, were as chaotic and disorganized as the city itself.

I grabbed the air conditioner unit next to me and was about to take the opportunity to experience the mood of those who failed in stock trading, but the sound coming from nearby disturbed my interest.

What's going on?

I took two steps forward and found the kitten that was causing trouble.

The short-haired girl sat down with her legs crossed, facing away from the white machine. One hand was casually pulling at a potted plant planted by someone beside her, her eyes staring blankly into the distance.

My heartstrings suddenly tightened.

Wait.

Sister, you can’t just come to the rooftop casually.

Of course, I still remember that the girl next door named Ito Nishika was once a suicide.

If you develop the habit of going here when you have nothing to do, you won’t be able to imagine what might happen if you get upset in life and you get caught up in the moment.

He immediately stepped forward to disturb the half-drowning little animal, and carried her back to the door leading to the lower level with a wronged look on her face.

"What's so good about the rooftop?"

"But Senior is here too."

"I...I'm just killing time."

"I'm just killing time."

Lin Sen was unable to refute for a moment.

Fortunately, I quickly figured out how to change the subject.

"What's the point of just sitting there on the rooftop? I'll take you to do something fun."

My mind raced as a plan took shape.

We need to develop some hobbies for this child to kill time.

Otherwise, apart from going to work early and coming back late every day, she would be tossing and turning in her heartbreak, and in her spare time she could only sit there in a daze, alone. Sooner or later, something bad would happen.

The original person's experience was still vivid in his mind. Lin Sen didn't want to see this simple neighbor, whom he had gradually become familiar with, repeat the same mistakes.

I had no choice but to pick up my third hobby from the time after I retired in my previous life.

I took the girl straight to the department store and visited several sports equipment stores.

First, I picked out two baseball caps, one large and one small, while he stared blankly at me.

"Senior, you."

"I bought it for myself."

Qianxun first release: 9501 80909

He answered the girl's question with wide eyes in a perfunctory tone, then went to the backpack store and picked out a girlish backpack.

Now Ito Xiguo probably understood someone's intention.

I quickly reached out and tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"I'll pay for it myself..."

"I bought it for myself, why should I ask you to pay for it?"

After some unreasonable arguments, the girl had no choice but to purse her lips and watch Lin Sen hand the money to the cashier.

After everything was done, I led the little follower to the entrance of the mall.

First, he tore off the label of the small hat and pretended to look at the words on it.

"I think I bought it too small." He expressed his regret without any emotion. "I accidentally ripped the label off, what a shame."

Then he put the hat directly on the little head next to him.

"Here you go."

"senior!"

Xiguo puffed up his face and looked fierce, but he couldn't stop Lin Sen from doing what he wanted.

"I'm just looking for a buyer for my hat. You don't want to waste it, do you?"

Then he followed the same method and equipped the girl with a pink and white backpack on the pretext that she had bought the wrong color.

After everything was ready, Lin Sen walked around to the other person and stood in front of him to inspect the results.

The hat perfectly frames her cute face. To match the sporty hat, the girl removed the white rubber band around her wrist, biting it briefly while reaching behind her neck to work on her tied hair.

After combing the hair on the side of her cheeks to the back, she grabbed the ponytail with one hand, took off the bracelet and tied the braid tightly.

She had hurriedly put on a gray-white jacket when she went out, and now paired it with the collarless T-shirt she was wearing, which perfectly matched the baseball cap and ponytail.

When I looked up again, my eyes lit up.

Without the protection of the hair on the cheeks, the crystal-clear eyes and slightly straight nose on the slightly plump oval face are more prominent.

Just by changing her hairstyle and adding a hat, her girl-next-door temperament has undergone a different transformation. The gentleness has been eliminated a little, and transformed into a more fresh and heroic spirit.

The faint blush on her face also makes her look healthier and more energetic rather than soft.

After a closer observation, Lin Sen finally confirmed that Ito Xiguo's transformation had been initially successful.

"Alright. Ito, now you're a qualified backpacker. Let's start backpacking together."

Chapter 26: A Day Trip to Tokyo

"Traveling on a budget?"

It is a way of traveling that allows you to get the greatest spiritual satisfaction in the most cost-effective way.

The destination can be anywhere, even if it's a city that is completely obscure to the authorities.

The essence of travel is simply to broaden your horizons, relax, and capture memories. From this perspective, budget travel—the most economical and affordable option—is not much different from traditional tourism.

After briefly explaining the concept, the girl in the baseball cap simply tilted her head, observing the creature in front of her with a bewildered look, as if she had just seen an alien for the first time.

Free Skirt 9○①⑧０○九

It seems that only by taking her to try it for real can I understand it.

After finishing the work, the temperature and the crowds were at their peak. I wandered through the crowd, hat on, aimlessly searching for my target.

"Why would you bother carrying a backpack if you're not even leaving Tokyo?"

"A sense of ritual. When you're touring the city on a budget, without a sense of adventure, curiosity, and yearning, it's just like ordinary window shopping."

"I always feel it's a waste of time."

It's really not.

Props with a theme can bring a different kind of freshness and excitement. This is true not only for travel, but for most things in the world.

Leading Ito Xiguo, he wandered to a busy intersection.

The name of "Sanwanli Pharmaceutical" is prominently printed horizontally on the small building next to me, and the commercial building in the distance is covered with signs in a crisscross pattern.

Business opportunities emerge from the surging traffic, and naturally there will be new players coming to grab the opportunity.

People handing out flyers, giving away themed balloons with words printed on them, and even wearing doll costumes for promotion, swayed among the surging crowds and traffic, like boats swaying up and down and left and right in the sea.

This is exactly Lin Sen’s goal.

They would deliberately pass by, signal with their eyes or ask for something directly, and grab a lot of souvenirs.

As a result, young people now have miniature posters for amusement parks, restaurant coupons, and shopping mall flyers in their hands.

The girl following behind him looked up foolishly at the balloon in her hand that was flying straight up.

"Collecting these souvenirs is actually quite fun, Ito."

Lin Sen took out an empty notebook and prepared glue from his backpack and pasted the colorful pieces of paper on one by one.

Like making a photo album or a stamp collection.

Just after applying one, I suddenly smelled the fresh fragrance of another hair spray.

It was the girl squatting beside him holding a balloon.

Judging from his expression, he seemed to be in high spirits.

"Try it?"

"Ah."

Holding the balloon handed to me by the girl, I watched her pick up the notebook and began to carefully stick the souvenirs in place.

Like those veteran players who introduced others to the game, Lin Sen continued to explain while she was actually operating the game:

"Don't underestimate these little gadgets stuck in notebooks. Posters, coupons, and flyers are often replaced every few days or half a month. For merchants and distributors, these are just consumables that are quickly iterated. But for those of us who collect these things, every find is a rare and unique treasure."

It's a pity that I can't afford a camera right now. Generally speaking, these souvenirs should be accompanied by a photo taken at the time to make them more impressive.

There are alternatives.

When the girl finished carefully pasting the collection and looked at her with curiosity and expectation, a hand reached out, gently snatched the booklet from her hand, took out a pen and wrote the time and place on it.

[At the intersection next to Sanri Drugstore in Shibuya, March 1986.3.22, ]

"Okay, it's your turn to choose the next place."

"I?"

"Yes. Just pick a place and go wherever you want. Then, we'll look for something to collect."

It can be regarded as throwing the problem to the girl next to me.

The sudden change of identity from a blind follower to a leader left Ito Nishigo at a loss.

After standing there hesitating for a while, the girl said:

"I can't think of a destination yet, what should I do?"

“Not knowing where to go is the very reason to set out.”

"I feel like the elders always have their own set of great principles."

Although he was harsh in his words, Ito Nishika finally decided to take action.

"I really just picked a direction at random."
