Chapter 2, the end of the run may very well be the starting point

... ...

He seriously recalled in his mind, as if he had realized something, and the smile on his face instantly faded away

Mom, A-Ling, and the family are having a harmonious dinner together in the evening, laughing and sharing the events of the day.

Shall we take her to watch a movie when we meet later

The voice carries the youthful innocence of a girl, a hint of modesty, and the melodiousness of a lark

The end of life is nothing more than this

Every time I think of it, I am deeply moved

In pursuit of this goal, I study day and night, tirelessly seeking guidance from my teachers.

Ayuya Suzu Music

It is truly lamentable to think about it; I have already lived two lifetimes myself

A grown adult actually deceives even a child out of 500 yen

It is the same as the voice in the chat record

He achieved a Grand Slam

Destiny has favored us, and it has taken an unexpected turn

The other party just sent two photos, and before I had the chance to appreciate them, my phone flew away

Once a place for selling electrical appliances, it has now become a hub for ACG culture. Upon entering this cutting-edge street of electrical appliances, the distinctive advertising posters immediately capture the attention of visitors

1,000 yen is gone, and there is no takoyaki either

Young people often come to me to buy roses, and most of them cannot write, so I help them write. Would you like me to help you write one as well

Is it Sakihara's music bar...?

But if a girl who is like a close friend truly appears in life

The tram arrived at the station, and he got off.

Is it a date? Should I write a card? The boss lady is quite enthusiastic, her face filled with smiles

A staggering profit of one hundred and fifty times.

Sakihara Raku watched the silhouette of the girl, observing her hair swaying lightly in the wind.

Even though it has been less than a month since we last spoke

Is it good-looking or not

As long as I can buy a livable large house that does not have a musty smell, that is sufficient

Sakihara Raku thought that at the very least, she should meet with her and the *illustrated* book.

He did not know whether he should describe it this way, but he even began to associate it with her appearance

It is simply a deception aimed at Chinese tourists; those who can come here are all wealthy individuals

Bell music

beret, gray pleated skirt, wearing a cat mask, and holding a cup of milk tea

Ayuya Suzu Music

What is the other party's name

What is this familiar feeling?

Since my father left, our family has endured too much suffering before my mother took on her current job

What does she like, and what are her hobbies

Even without having met in person, from her silhouette, she gave Sakihara Raku a feeling that was completely on par with the two uniquely charismatic twin beauties he had just encountered

Sakihara glanced sideways at the shop assistant who was speaking in Chinese to a tourist wearing a large gold chain and continued on his way

Sakakibara Suzu

40 million yen

If you see a girl wearing a beret, a gray pleated skirt, and holding a cup of milk tea, that must be her

So... Sakihara-kun, do you know how to go on a date

Only now to have a first love... what a peculiar situation

Bet an entire month's salary on the least favored racehorse

In order to break free from such days, he maintained his belief, and even after his family's circumstances improved significantly within the country, he was admitted to the best first high school in Tokyo

... ...

Among them, the favorite is drinking alcohol

Sakakibara Raku felt his heart tighten a little. He took a deep breath, steadied his mind, and when the traffic light across turned green, he held the flowers and slowly walked over.

You will need to wait one more day

Sakihara Raku gazed at the girl as she raised one hand, her back resembling that of someone who was secretly laughing, and suddenly felt that the impression she gave him was becoming increasingly familiar

He believes in love, but does not believe that love will come to him.

Throughout his life, he never considered himself a protagonist, because even when eating a piece of tofu, he had to share with his sister who ate more, what kind of nonsense is being a protagonist, it is far more reliable than 500 yen in cash

Many duty-free shops continuously announce in relatively standard Mandarin: "Inside there are desktop computers, laptops, computer accessories, digital cameras ... ... "

On the night when his mother went out to look for him, he bought the rice balls for dinner from the vending machine using coins he scraped out with a wooden stick

He now has his own goals, aiming to bring happiness to the entire family and to achieve the new objective of living in a large house

Hobbies include drinking, pachinko, and horse racing

However, this individual not only failed to share this sum of money with his family who have endured hardships together, but instead took the large amount and fled far away.

For a female online acquaintance whom I have never met, I cannot help but imagine her appearance

It is about to arrive

There has been no news until now

Thoughts drifted among the lush cherry blossom trees, reaching out to the distance

She tugged at the cat mask on her face, deliberately not turning around. Instead, with her hands behind her back, she cleared her throat and asked in a cute voice to the back:

The young girl clasped her hands behind her back and stood on her tiptoes

He folded the student ID of Tianhai Jiuli in his hand and tucked it into his pocket. He raised his head and gazed out of the tram window at the gradually receding cityscape.

A family of four in Tokyo, although lacking money and status, still manages to get by reasonably well

The young girl let out a light laugh and continued in a charming voice, "Two days ago, that is, in the afternoon right after school, you made a promise, an agreement to accept the outcome of a bet."

I discovered that she is the girl, the first girl who made me feel interesting

What is that?

It can also be considered unfortunate

The meeting place is in Akihabara, the most famous commercial street in Tokyo

The girl in the beret in front heard the sound, paused her action of sipping milk tea to pass the time, and looked up at the Sega Hall No. 1, which was painted in the color of cola, breaking into a radiant smile.

However, although the phone was lost, Sakihara Yoshi clearly remembered that Aoyama Suzu said she would wait for him under the red Sega Building 1 in Akihabara

Passing by the racetrack, he heard the passionate and fervent commentary of the horse races inside. In a moment of determination, he did something he had never dared to do in ten years of betting on horses

Watching the transparent text gradually dim before him, Sakihara Raku attempted to reactivate the interface, but it was as if it had sunk into the sea like a month ago, falling silent once more

Just the thought of meeting her made Sakihara Raku, walking through the bustling streets filled with crowds, feel somewhat hesitant

My father's habit of drinking has always been hard to change; he enjoys getting thoroughly drunk at night, which causes the family to have restless nights.

Even though Sakakibara prides himself on being calm and approachable, he cannot tolerate this kind of atmosphere

Lüya Suiren, she sounds like quite a beautiful girl

Sherlock Holmes once said to Watson: "When you have eliminated all that is impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth"

His colleagues mock him for having to rely on his daughter, who has never even attended kindergarten, to make a living

Sakihara went to a nearby convenience store to buy two seaweed rice balls for lunch, and then went to a flower shop to buy a bouquet of roses, considering it a gift for the first meeting with Ashiya

Shopping, indeed, is essential for a date. However... this is not all. Before I reveal the final answer, does Sakihara-kun remember something?

For this once-in-a-lifetime meeting in two lifetimes

His goal in this life is to graduate from high school, then gain admission to the finance department of the University of Tokyo, and whether he becomes a bank employee or starts a company after accumulating enough capital is of no consequence

The store is filled with tourists, featuring various banner advertisements, installment coupons, and duty-free promotions. Coupled with the colorful signs and price tags of the merchandise, it is a dazzling sight for the eyes

It is hard to discern from the picture book that the proprietress is still a seasoned player in the realm of romance

In his eyes, it seemed as if there was only the silhouette of the girl across from him

Sakihara nodded, trying to make his voice sound less tense, "Yes"

Is it cute or not

Even if there are only 500 yen left in his pocket, he will still take it all out to buy a can of beer to drink

"... ... Shopping?" Sakihara Raku attempted to ask

He is not surprised by this result; after waiting for a month, how could he still care about this one day

Sakihara Raku, holding a bouquet of roses, suddenly stopped in his tracks, for he saw a girl who perfectly matched the description in the message, across from Sega Hall No. 1, through the bustling crowd and the passersby.

In the year I turned eighteen, I was reborn into a small family in a rural village in Japan after my death.

But how could I not have thought of it myself

Sakakibara Raku still remembers the 500 yen that his father owed him and his sister

"So... is that alright?" Sakakibara Yuki tried to smile, "But please don't write it too intimately, since it's our first meeting"

Like a bolt from the blue, it struck right at the forehead

He furrowed his brow

Kebaqingge will not reason with him

The flower shop owner had an expression of complete understanding, as if to say, "I completely understand"

Finally, his footsteps came to a stop one meter away from the young girl

My father is an untrustworthy man from the countryside, while my mother is a well-known beautiful girl in the village

On the second day of work, I still had to pry a few hundred yen for lunch from my five-year-old daughter's hands

It is a love confession

What?

Repress the memories of the past

Sigh... I do not know if it is because my father has had a lifetime of misfortune, but who could have predicted that just two months later, he would encounter something that an ordinary person would never experience in a lifetime

vanished without a trace

However, he seemed to have thought of something, as a series of keywords began to connect in his mind

It was mid-July, and he had just received his salary

At that time, my father patted his chest and solemnly promised the two siblings: Tomorrow, I will give you 1,000 yen to buy takoyaki

Amidst the surging crowd at www.hetushu.com, on the zebra crossing, Sakihara Raku slowly approaches the silhouette of a girl.

There are home appliances, there is internet, and there is a fan that turns with a whirring sound and does not require frequent maintenance

He actually won at the horse races with the salary he just received from the heavens

... ...

As for love, Sakihara Raku actually does not care much; one can live quite well alone

This person cannot be described as good, nor can he be described as bad

Sigh

Hello

Then went to the front desk and picked up a pen

Two days ago, in the afternoon, a promise, an agreement to accept the bet...

The mother became a restaurant server, while the father continued his work as a maintenance electrician

However, this is all in the past

Card

The figures of pedestrians became increasingly enchanting, and the bustling intersection suddenly fell silent

The silhouette of the young girl Qianli flickered faintly amidst the crowd, while Sakihara Yuki stood across the street. The moment he noticed the girl, the shadows of the passersby seemed to blur instantaneously.

Isn't there always a small card tucked inside the rose? It contains some heartfelt messages that one wishes to convey. The shop owner, standing among the flowers, handed him the roses

Previously, through the contact information on the black confession letter, the two exchanged messages on Line for a month, and currently, only each other's names are known.

Bell

He even used the excuse of "children do not need pocket money" to conveniently borrow the 500 yen pocket money that their mother had given to the siblings.

Even the boss lady praises his handsomeness, and although it is a fact, it has somewhat boosted his confidence

She will greet you in the morning and say goodnight to herself after chatting in the evening... It is as if she is enveloped in a dream that feels distant and unattainable.

The market is bustling

The girl stood with her back to him, facing the enormous advertisement for "Yakuza 7" at Sega Hall No. 1

Ah, at that time, the fan should have been replaced with an air conditioner

In the countryside, always thinking about striving in the big city, his parents brought him and his sister to Tokyo for work ten years ago
