Kyoto, Kitaku, Ozi Honcho.

Takahashi Home.

"Dad, what are you looking at?"

After dinner, looking at the father sitting on the tatami and falling into memories, the boy poked his head out curiously.

Looking at the album in his father Takahashi Iya's hand, he couldn't help asking.

"Dad is looking at photos of his childhood."

Hearing the child's inquiry, a faint smile appeared on Takahashi's face. He flipped through the album in his hand and looked at the old photos inside, and said in reminiscing.

"Is it because tomorrow's classmates will meet?"

He came to the fire with a cup of brewed hot tea. His wife Miha handed the tea to her husband and swept her sideways through the album, which reads the photo of Heisei Yoko.

"After all, I haven't met you for twenty years."

After taking the hot tea handed over by his wife, Takahashi took a sip, looked down at the green faces in the photo, and fell into memories, sighing and said, "I don't know how everyone is doing."

"Dad, which one is you in the photo?"

As Takahashi sighed, the boy beside him stretched out his finger curiously, turned to his father and asked at the young faces in the photo.

"Haha, then you have to search for it."

The child's naive questions brought Takahashi back to reality from the memories of his student days. He turned to look at his son's curious gaze, and then laughed and said.

"I guess this!"

"wrong."

"this?"

"Not right."

"What about this?"

"It's still wrong!"

"You kid, you are so active when buying toys, but you can't even recognize your father."

Takahashi couldn't help but smile and curse, and pointed his finger at the corner and said, "Remember, Dad is here, don't forget."

"How do I know, Dad, you are hiding in such a corner..."

He wrinkled his nose and muttered in a low voice. The boy's eyes swept over the face in the photo. He accidentally found a figure with only half of his face in the corner than his father. He immediately stretched out his fingers with some curiosity and asked Takahashi: "Dad, who is this person? Why did she only show half of her face in the photo?"

Hearing his son's inquiry, Takahashi's eyes fell on his face in the direction he pointed. The expression on his face changed a little unnaturally, and he said in evasion: "It's just a classmate from Dad's Middle School, nothing special."

"oh."

Hearing the father's answer, the child didn't care. He nodded slightly and focused on other photos in the album.

"husband?"

But Miyu, who was beside her, noticed something strange in Takahashi's expression, but before she could say anything, the phone in the living room suddenly rang.

Dingling--

"It's so late, who will call me?"

When the couple heard the ringtone, they couldn't help but look at each other.

"Will it be the company's phone number?"

"I have asked for leave from the company and will go back to attend the class reunion tomorrow."

Confused, his wife Miyu got up and went to the living room to answer the phone.

"Hello, this is Takahashi's house."

"Tao...Taoqiao...is it a Takahashi...?"

What came from the phone was a hoarse and powerless voice, and the other party seemed to be huddling in a corner and said in a very light voice.

"...you... why aren't you here yet...I've been waiting for a long time...I've been waiting for a long time...I've been a long time..."

Are you the one who participated in the class reunion?

Amid the intermittent voice, Miyu's face showed a puzzled expression.

"Whose phone number?"

At the same time, Takahashi, who was sitting on the tatami, also gave her a questioning expression.

"I don't know, I didn't say it on the phone. Maybe it's someone who participated in tomorrow's class reunion."

Shaking his head, Miyu put down the microphone he put in his ear and replied with some uncertainty.

"I'll take it."

Hearing that he might be a junior high school student in the class reunion, Takahashi got up and came to the phone, reached out and took the phone from his wife.

"I'm Takahashi, are you?"

"…Takahashi…Takahashi…Takahashi…I have been waiting for you…I am so looking forward to it…When I meet you again…I am so looking forward to it…I am so looking forward to it…”

Hearing Takahashi's answer, the owner of the other end of the phone began to become excited. She used a figure accompanied by rapid breathing to express her excitement for meeting the classmates. However, before Takahashi could say something, she hung up the phone without warning.

Doudu--

Looking at the phone being hung up in his hand and the beeping sounds coming from it, Takahashi's face was a little confused and confused.

He looked up and looked at the wife in front of him silently, turned his head to look at the child behind him who was still flipping the album with great enthusiasm. For some reason, he felt a little gloom about the students who were about to come tomorrow.

...

Kyoto, Horikawa High School.

At the entrance of the auditorium, a large sign reads the venue for the Heisei Graduate Reunion.

"Isn't this Mrs. Yamaguchi? I haven't seen you for a long time. I almost recognized you?"

"It doesn't matter if I call me the old surname Yado. Akako, you still have no major changes as before. I am different and have become a mother of two children, and even my figure has become a big distorted..."

"I have heard of you. You are very happy now. Yamado classmate married her husband who works in a large company."

"It's just ordinary. Speaking of which, we have graduated for twenty years, and time passes so quickly."

"Who said no? Twenty years ago, we were all high school students who didn't know anything. As a result, in the blink of an eye, everyone has been in society for so long."

In the school auditorium, Heisei graduates gathered together in groups of three or three to recall the past student days.

"Isn't this Takahashi?"

Holding tea, seeing Takahashi standing at a dining table, a man who already looked like a Mediterranean couldn't help but step forward and patted his shoulder and shouted excitedly.

"We haven't seen each other for twenty years."

"Who are you?"

Looking at the eye of the man in front of him, a hesitant expression flashed across Takahashi's face.

"I'm Yagi, look."

He noticed the puzzled look on Takahashi's face, and the man then covered the Mediterranean Sea on his head with his hands.

With his actions, Takahashi finally overlapped the other party with a certain face in his memory, and also showed an excited expression and said, "It turns out it's Yagi, you almost didn't recognize you."

"Alas, after graduating from school, I worked hard, but although I successfully became the minister of the company from a staff member, I also paid a heavy price."
