"Advance strategy, Gong Liang gathers."

"In Tokyo, a city where every inch of land is precious and prosperous, I have never thought about turning all the scenery here into eternity and remembering it in my brain as I do now."

"At the Suga Shrine in Shinjuku Town, I purchased the Acacia Talisman that Sakura often chanted in the past, and asked for a talisman for you, which will be sent to you together with the letter."

Sitting on the subway leading to Shibuya Station, Takiichi hid in the crowd, hunched over his head and wrote the second reply to Sakura.

Until the familiar artificial intelligence synthesized voice was once again delivered in the car in the form of voice broadcast.

"Next stop, Hachiko. Next stop, Hachiko."

As soon as Taki stopped the pen in his hand, he really finished it just right, and stuffed the letter paper, Acacia Talisman, and Yu Mamoru into a new envelope.

As we are about to arrive at the next stop, we can vaguely see more and more people coming and going outside the window.

Hachiko Station is named after a very distinctive Akita loyal dog in the history of Sakura Country.

Every morning, Hachiko would watch his owner go to work, and then pick him up at nearby Shibuya Station in the evening.

One day, Hachiko's master did not return to Shibuya Station as usual, but died of a heart attack while working.

However, Hachiko remained faithful at Shibuya Station, day after day, year after year, until he died one day nine years later.

For people who pass through Shibuya area or wait for the bus at Shibuya Station every day, the bronze statue of Hachiko has been integrated into their lives.

It seems that as long as Hachiko stands there, people will have enough patience to wait.

Walking out of the exit of Shibuya Hachiko Station, he stood in front of the bronze statue of Hachiko, his eyes fixed on the traffic lights ahead. Takiichi had no expression on his face.

During this period, like many others, he waited without any distracting thoughts.

After that, Takiichi crossed the crossroads ahead and arrived at Tsutaya Building.

The Starbucks located on the second floor is the best place to rest for many couples and people passing by.

Takiichi used to come to this cafe frequently, and occasionally, he would be accompanied by Sakura and Nako without makeup.

Every time I order the most ordinary signature coffee, I sit next to the window on the second floor. The table is directly facing the window.

In their eyes, the important thing is not this location, which is considered by the world to be the best viewing angle for travelers and the crowds at the intersection.

Instead, the only people sitting beside them were each other.

"I came to Starbucks here again and thought that I had worked here for a while before, and life in Shibu Ward was not boring."

He casually found an empty seat and sat down. He took out the computer in his backpack and turned on the wifi here.

Take out the paper and pen and continue writing the third letter to Sakura.

After the meteor shower came, when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, there was no excess or surprise, and the spring rain began to fall frequently.

Although it was not night, he could not directly enjoy the night view of Shibuya area. Watching the rain wash away the glass in front of him, Takiichi stopped writing with his left hand.

The world in front of us is becoming increasingly blurred by the rain.

Every trace left by a drop is like a woman's pretty face filled with tears after crying.

The blurry windows, the blurry figures passing through, and then the world seemed to become blurry.

The rain seemed to wash away all the distracting thoughts in Taki's heart.

"Look!"

The couple beside him said this, pointing to the distance outside the glass window, and Takiichi raised his head.

On the second floor, their eyes were all focused on the street TV in a building at the intersection in the distance.

What was playing on the screen was the news about the meteor shower in the Shin-Tanabe area three days before the broadcast, as well as the scenes captured by satellites from various parts of the Sakura Country.

"Hey~ what we saw last night were shooting stars in the sky, right?"

As if reviving past memories, the woman in the couple began to speak with her eyes narrowed in recollection.

"I clearly remember that when we were in bed last night..."

"Are you an idiot? How can you say something like this here?"

The man hurriedly covered his girlfriend's mouth and looked around nervously.

However, he discovered that the guests sharing the same table with him did not direct their gaze here.

"What an enviable couple."

Taki smiled and pretended not to notice. In his peripheral vision, the rings between their fingers were sparkling and particularly dazzling.

He picked up the hot coffee in front of him, opened his lips, and blew on the rim of the cup.

What is the definition of happiness?

Taki looked at his empty palms. Here, he felt that the warmth that originally existed was now missing.

"Onii-chan, let me tell you, the company has approved my request for leave, because I won the first place in dance in this month-end assessment, and the room manager is very happy."

Mixed with the sound of rain hitting the window, Taki held the half-empty porcelain cup of coffee and quietly stared at the face on the computer.

Like a fool, my sister secretly ran out of jyp and went to a nearby Internet cafe to surf the Internet. Because she handed in her mobile phone, she couldn't wait to share the good news with herself.

After a long period of closed training, Momo became a computer idiot. After spending 10,000 won, she just video chatted with him.

"Really? We, Taozi, are always the best when it comes to dancing."

The leisurely accent made Momo in the video narrow her eyes in comfort.

Perhaps in her case, the praises from teachers, room principals, and even jyp were not as good as the brief exchange with Takiichi.

"And in a few days, the company will hold a new selection in Sakura Country. I heard that PD Nim will go there in person."

Will Park Jin Young also come to Sakura Country?

Taki's pupils swayed slightly. Are you starting to want to enter the market here?

The letter sent by Sakura also mentioned the person who would visit Aks.

"Is it because of this that you think of the past?"

"Hey, when I went there before, Onii-chan was with me."

The video call with momo didn't last long. For the two brothers and sisters, they can save more words until they return home.

When I logged onto the Niconico website, as expected, the video that was pinned to the top of the homepage was a video I had previously made and uploaded.

From editing, retouching, to recording, I do it all by myself.

However, due to equipment problems, during the two days he stayed at Ikkyuji Temple, Takiichi repeatedly sent the semi-finished product to the email address of his music teacher, asking for help.

Clicking on the video, the name of the song appeared bit by bit on the dark screen.

Compared with the initial version that was previously pushed to social accounts, this time it is more detailed and has been modified in many places that seem to have flaws.

When the natural and comfortable melody like flowing water suddenly arises, the images captured by Takiichi are glued together without any sense of dissonance.

Silent country roads, the simple and hidden Ikkyu Temple, camellia and cherry blossom trees, and stone walls in the dry water garden.

The dilapidated but still majestic Miyamizu Shrine, the red torii gate whose paint has long since fallen off.

The steep shrine steps, the lazily playing black and white cats, the prayer pond, and the kimono girl standing on tiptoes under the cherry blossom tree, picking off the petals, and smiling at the camera.

In front of candlelight at night, the rickety old man operating traditional tools would occasionally raise his head, his eyes locked on the old-fashioned color TV that was broadcasting the news.

For many people, this is an ordinary scenery that can be seen everywhere in the countryside of Sakura Country.
