human stomach.
Narrator's voice-over: This is the stomach of the protagonist of this film. It can be seen that there are signs of cancer in the pylorus area, but I don't know yet.
(Stacked)

2. The municipal government
Watanabe Kanji leaned on the table, and mechanically stamped the official documents one by one. He often resisted the yawn caused by sleepiness and glanced at the wall clock.
He has no vitality either physically or mentally, just like a dying bug.
It is for this reason that the position and speed at which he stamps the official document is incredibly accurate and fast.
All in all, this person is completely accustomed to such meaningless hustle and bustle.
On his desk was a triangular sign with the words: "Citizen Section".

3. The window
notice of the Citizens Division -
This is the window that directly connects citizens and the city government. If you have any grievances, dissatisfaction, demands, hopes, etc., with regard to the municipal government, please feel free to express any opinions.

Right next to this announcement, five or six housewives in housework clothes made their comments while wiping their sweat.
"My child's skin resistance is not strong. When he gets on the water, he gets inexplicable bumps all over his body."
"That's because there are so many mosquitoes!"
"The main reason is that the water smells!"
"Can you think of a solution? Think, fill in that pit and it will be transformed into a good children's playground."
Sakai, who served as the receptionist, listened blankly at the window.
Sakai: Please wait a moment.
He stood up and walked inside.
He crossed the narrow path between the desk and the desk and stood in front of Kanji Watanabe's desk.
Sakai: Section chief, someone is giving advice on the issue of the smelly puddle in Kuroe Town...
Watanabe speaks like a robot, speaking in a tone that is neither emotional nor vigorous.
Watanabe: Looking for civil engineering department.
Sakai: Yes!
Sakai walked away.
Watanabe submitted the case and stamped it as usual.
Narrator's voice-over: This is the protagonist of this story. However, it would be boring to describe the protagonist now, why? Because...
Watanabe held back another yawn, then glanced at the wall clock.
Narrator's voice-over:...because he is purely killing time...so time has no meaning to him. In other words, because he can't talk about being alive.
Watanabe read the official document mechanically and stamped it mechanically.
Suddenly there was the laughter of an energetic woman.
He was taken aback and looked up over there.
Odagiri Toyoko, the lowest-ranking female clerk in Citizen Corey, laughed forward and backward.
The staff tossed and looked at Toyoko and Watanabe, who was crying.
"Odagiri-kun!"
Chief Ono couldn't help but stop it.
Ohno: ...you can't do it, it's not plausible during office hours.
Toyoko: (still laughing non-stop) But...really ridiculous...
Ohno: ridiculous? What is ridiculous?
Toyoko: Lie club.
He passed a small piece of paper to show him.
Toyoko: Someone sent this over.
Oh Ye: Oh, you read it!
Toyoko was a little embarrassed. After looking around at the restrained colleagues, she started to read as if she was angry.
Toyoko: Have you never asked for a vacation?
"Yes!"
"Then, if you were not there, your unit's work would be affected?"
"Ah, I'm afraid everyone knows that without me, the unit will not be affected at all. That would be bad."
Everyone was silent. , Peeping at Watanabe.
Watanabe pretended not to hear anything, still leaning over the table and stamping it.
Narrator's voice-over: This won't work! It's simply outrageous. In this way, it's no different from The Walking Dead. Ah, actually this man died 25 years ago. Before that, how much he could be called alive, and how much he planned to do.
Watanabe opened the bottom drawer of the sinking desk.
Inside is full of official documents.
The title page of an official document reads: “

Proposal to improve work efficiency”
Watanabe Kanji
(proposed on November 7, Showa 5)

Watanabe tore off the title page and wiped the stamp.
Narrator's voice-over: However, the lofty ambitions of the past are gone. That kind of spirit and enthusiasm has been wiped out in this extremely complicated machine of Yamen and the meaningless turmoil that it produced.
After wiping the stamp, Watanabe hurriedly stamped it.
Narrator's voice-over: Busy, so busy! However, this person actually didn't do anything. He didn't care about anything except holding this position... and he knew that in this world, in order to keep this position, it is best not to do anything. But what about going on like this?
Suddenly, Watanabe frowned and pressed his hand on his stomach.
He took the pills from his pocket to take the medicine.
Then he glanced at the wall clock squintly.
Narrator's voice-over:...Can this be allowed to go on? ! To make this person really think about this problem, his stomach will definitely get worse, and secondly, he needs to waste more time before he can do it.

4. The
housewives whom the Civil Engineering Department first met in the Civil Affairs Department are now talking to the staff at the Civil Engineering Department’s window.
Staff: The question you are talking about is something that the district health center should do, so...
(planned)

5. The
housewives of the district health center talk to the staff in charge.
Staff in charge: Ah, please talk to the health department about this issue.

6.
Staff of the Health Section of the Health Section: Please go to the Environmental Health Section.

7.
Staff of the Environmental Sanitation Unit : Please go to the Prevention Section... on the 12th is...

Staff of the Prevention Section : Please talk to the Epidemic Prevention Section.
(Delineated)

9.
Staff member of the Epidemic Prevention Department : Oh...it's the problem of more mosquitoes...that's the issue of the pest epidemic group.
(Planning)

10.
Staff of the pest epidemic group : As far as we are concerned, fighting DDT is the most remarkable... How to deal with the problem of stinky puddles, that is the matter of the municipal government's sewer department...
(Planning)

11. Sewers Branch
clerk: that would have been the place to repair culverts, that is, above the culvert is the way, if this thing does not consent road Maintenance section, it is ......
(designated)

12. road Branch
staff: approaches to urban planning department also It's not settled.

13.
Staff of the Urban Planning Department : Please talk to the Division of Regional Planning.
(Draw)

14.
Staff member of the Division of Zoning : ...... Regarding the problem of the stinking puddle that cannot be filled, we did have a long time with the fire police station. Helplessly, the layout of the waterways in that area is very poor...
(planned)

15.
Staff of the district fire police station : It's a joke. All we want is good water. The elephant breeds mosquitoes and makes the skin pimple. Dirty water like this cannot be used at all. First of all, after using that dirty water, it takes a lot of labor to wash the hose. If a children’s swimming pool is built in that area, we will also be stunned. How about it? Can you talk to the district education department? They do have a Child Welfare Division in charge of these matters.
(Planned)

16.
Staff of the Education Section of the Municipal Government : You are right. But this is not just a question of child welfare. Besides, the problem of rebuilding school buildings is overwhelming...As big as this problem, the city senator elected by the district comes out to say a few words. I think it can be done the fastest...
(Plan)

17. City senator’s house foyer
"Oh ...... I write a letter of introduction to the assistant to the mayor it. ah ...... do not you, take my card to him immediately met ...... ha ha ha ......"
(draw)

18. the assistant mayor room
"good , Please, please sit down... ah... you guys have worked hard. Honestly speaking, it is our most welcome to speak frankly about the sufferings of the masses as you do. Secondly, our Citizens Section has established a new window for receiving citizens, which is In order to solve everyone's problems...please just ask if you have any questions...Hey...take these people to the Civic Division..."
(denoted)

19. The Civic Division
housewives and Sakai.
Sakai: If that's the problem, please talk to the Civil Engineering Department. The eighth window is.
At this moment, a housewife suddenly roared.
Housewife A: It's simply outrageous! There is a limit to playing with people! Why did you post this announcement? Is it to kill our time?
These housewives first wore summer clothes when they stood at this window, but now they are all dressed in winter clothes. It is only natural for them to lose their temper.
Housewife B: Hmph, we are different from you people who are uncomfortable at leisure. First of all, as we said at the beginning, we only asked for a way to cure the stinky puddle. Regardless of the civil engineering department, the health center, the sanitation department, and the fire station, we have ran through which unit... But the result... hasn't the civics department come up with a solution?
The staff all looked at this scene in surprise.
Housewife B: All right, I won't beg you anymore. Really, no matter where I get fooled, what democracy is, I am tired of hearing it!
After finishing speaking, urging her partner to go away angrily.
Sakai stood at the window blankly. Chief Ohno stood up and came to Sakai and bit his ear for a while. Sakai hurriedly stopped the housewives.
Sakai: Ah... please wait... Honestly speaking, unfortunately, the section chief is not here today. Would it be better for everyone to submit a written item to me?
The housewives stared at each other, feeling puzzled.
Then he stretched his neck and looked at the desk of the citizen section chief who was a little away from the staff.
That is an empty table.
The clerks looked at the empty table and talked quietly.
Ono and Saito are talking.
Saito: It’s a rare thing for the section chief to take a vacation.
Ohno: Well, recently, he is really lackluster.
Saito: Yes, but it will be troublesome if he takes a long vacation.
Ohno: That's the problem. As for him, he wouldn't take a vacation if he had a cold or cough or other illnesses... It would be impossible to do anything without the stamp of the section chief.
Ohara and Kimura are also talking.
Kimura: What a pity, in one month, he will set a record of 30 years of no absenteeism.
Ohara: The section chief is on vacation, but someone is happy. The boss immediately grabs his seat as soon as he takes a sick leave. This is probably the root of officialdom's inferiority.
Sakai is talking with Noguchi and Toyoko.
Sakai: He always takes medicine. What kind of medicine is that?
Toyoko: Stomach medicine. Normally, when eating noodles at noon, the soup poured in the noodles is completely drunk. But recently, chopsticks are often moved lightly.
Noguchi: Hahaha...pour the noodle soup...that is also a record...As far as I know, he will definitely eat a bowl of noodle soup for lunch.
Sakai: Hmm... But in case the section chief has a long and two short... Then the successor should...
Toyoko: (laughs) What's your hurry? After fifteen or six people do not die, it will not be your turn.
Her words made everyone unhappy.

20.
Watanabe walked out of the hospital X-ray room .

21.
Watanabe comes in the waiting room .
Sitting weakly on the bench, staring blankly at the winter trees outside the window.
"Bad stomach?"
A man sitting beside him talked to him.
Watanabe turned around and nodded.
"My stomach is not good...it is said to be chronic. Recently, if my stomach doesn't hurt, I can hardly feel that I am alive." The
nurse's voice-over: Mr. Ishikawa! Mr. Ishikawa!
The ill-looking patient sitting beside him slowly stood up and walked out of the waiting room.
A patient waiting for treatment muttered to himself while looking at his back:
"The doctor said he had a stomach ulcer, but according to my opinion, it must be stomach cancer..."
Watanabe:...
" Stomach cancer is the same as the death penalty. For this disease, the doctor always talks about mild gastric ulcers... From the day the doctor told him, the longest life span is one year...."
Watanabe:...
" Ah, it’s not easy to live for another year after the self-conscious symptoms like what I said. First of all (pressing his stomach)...the pain is terrible...(frowning) hiccups and beatings all the time Upset..."
Watanabe looked at each other ugly.
"My tongue is dry, I want to drink tea and water... Then I have diarrhea... When I don’t have a diarrhea, the opposite happens, constipation... The stool is black..."
Watanabe stared straight at the man. Faces.
"Also, I like eating meat the most, but I can't eat a little bit at this time..."
Watanabe's face was pale with fright.
"No matter what you eat, you will vomit in thirty minutes... At this time, even the food you ate a week ago was vomiting out... At this level... Then I won't live for three months at most..."
The man beside him noticed that Watanabe's face was as earthy as the face of a dead man, and he was silent.
The nurse's voice-over: Mr. Watanabe! Mr. Watanabe Kanye!
Watanabe wandered out of the waiting room.
The patient next to him stared at him blankly.

22. The
doctor in the consulting room and his assistant were looking at the X-ray pictures, and then they picked up their heads.
They were surprised when they saw Watanabe's nervous face coming in, and looked at the nurse in a blink of an eye.
The nurse was unaware, looking in the small mirror, trimming her lipstick.
"Please... please sit down."
As if deliberately avoiding Watanabe's sight, the doctor sat across from him, pointing to the chair in front of him to give up his seat.
The doctor used to pick up the medical records, just after a brief review.
"Oh...mild stomach ulcer."
Watanabe shook, grabbing the arm of the chair and didn't fall down.
The old chair made an unpleasant creak.
Watanabe stared at the doctor with eyes almost popping out of his eyes, and his lips trembled.
After his mouth closed two or three times, his expression was very painful, and it took him a long time to speak in a hoarse voice.
"Please truthfully...bring the real situation..."
The assistant doctor looked at the faces of the doctor and Watanabe in contrast.
The doctor looked down at the medical record without raising his head:
"Ah... it's a gastric ulcer... but because the disease has progressed a bit faster... but..."
Watanabe: Just say it... just say it's stomach cancer.
Doctor: ...
Watanabe: (Suddenly leaned back in the chair and hugged his head, then suddenly raised his face and looked at the doctor as if asking for help) What about the operation...Can't it be done?
Doctor: ...
In the painful confrontation between the doctor and Watanabe, the nurse did not stop her makeup, but looked at them from the mirror.
(Stroke)

Watanabe has already left.
The assistant doctor and the doctor were silent for a while before they started talking.
Assistant Doctor: That's about half a year.
Doctor: Ah, it's been three or four months at most.
Assistant Doctor: Four months?
Doctor: Well... if you are like him, knowing that your life will only last for four months, what will you do?
Assistant Doctor:? !
Doctor: (turning back to the nurse) Aihara-kun...what if it is you?
Nurse: (Frivolously) There is strychnine (Note 1) in that cupboard!
The assistant doctor glanced at the nurse and looked at the X-ray film seriously.

23. X-ray photograph of
Watanabe's stomach.
It can be seen that there are terrible scars on the pylorus area.
(Stacked)

24.
Watanabe walked staggeringly on the street .
He didn't hear the noise in the street at all.
"Asshole!" The
truck driver hurriedly fiddled with the steering wheel and shouted in Watanabe's ear.
Watanabe woke up in shock.
Only then did he hear the noise in the street.
(Draw)

25. At the door of Watanabe's house (night), the
two-story building stands dark in the cold wind.
Only one door light was dimly lit, and there was no light around.
Watanabe's son and daughter-in-law came back.
The two men slung their arms and hummed dance music in their mouths.
Daughter-in-law Yizhi: Probably there was a power outage.
Son Mitsuo: Isn't the door light on? ...The neighbor's light is also on.
Yizhi: Strange, father is not at home? ...Where is the key?
Mitsuo: In your handbag. Oops!
The door opened without using the key.
Yizhi: Steward Lin went back without locking the door? ...Too irresponsible.
Mitsuo: It's just a housekeeper who works during the day, so it's not appropriate.
Kaji: It's not much different from the salary of living here. If the thief comes in, the loss will be great.
Mitsuo: These are all Dad's rules... It's purely the way of life of a small official.
Yizhi: (somewhat anxiously) What's the matter, I still can't touch the switch?
Mitsuo: Don't worry, don't worry!
It took a long time to turn on the lights.
Yizhi hurriedly entered the hall.

26. One
branch in the foyer : (closes the door of the foyer ) Oh, it's really cold! It's as cold at home as it is outside. So I hate Japanese houses.
Mitsuo: Have a good time outside, and everything will come to nothing as soon as you get home. I really want to make a more modern and very convenient home.
The two went up the stairs.

27. One stairway
: If only the house where we live, four to five million yuan can be built?
Mitsuo: Yes, my father’s retirement payment is always 600,000 to 700,000 yuan, besides, the reward is also 12,300 per month.

28. Second floor
The two came to the second floor.
It was pitch black upstairs—only the light from the neighbor's window.
Mitsuo: Plus deposits, there will always be around 100,000.
Yizhi: But will Dad agree?
Mitsuo: If you don't agree, I just tell him to live his own lives. These words are the most spiritual to the old man. First of all, no matter what kind of old man, he doesn't plan to bring retirement pay and savings into his grave, right?
Yizhi: Hehehe... Mitsuo: Hehehe
...
Yizhi's laughter suddenly stopped, and he held Mitsuo with a start.
"Look!"
Mitsuo: What's the matter?
Yizhi: Someone!
Mitsuo: Uh? !
Mitsuo turned on the light tremblingly, and saw Watanabe sitting silently in the corner of the sitting room without taking off his coat and hat.
Mitsuo felt that his father must be in an abnormal situation today.
Mitsuo: What's the matter? dad!
Watanabe: Ah, nothing.
He stood up and quietly went downstairs.
The couple looked at the old man who came downstairs, staring at each other.
Mitsuo: Daddy is really strange.
Mitsuo was really worried and wanted to go downstairs to have a look.
Yizhi: (Stopping him) Bah, wait a minute.
Mitsuo: Huh?
Yizhi: I won't let you go!
Mitsuo: Why?
Yizhi: He heard what we said just now.
Mitsuo is a little bit difficult.
Yizhi: Dad is too casual. Although it is in his own home, this is our room after all. If we are not at home, we just come up on our own. This is too unconventional.
Mitsuo: Well, first of all, just say something. You are not too old, so why not be so self-respectful!
Mitsuo stopped going downstairs and took off his coat while muttering.

29.
Comparing Watanabe's room with his son's room, his room is almost the same as the male servant's room.
Watanabe sat lonely in front of the round brazier without any remaining warmth, staring at the void without blinking.

30. On the second floor,
this is a bedroom transformed into a Western-style room. Mitsuo sits on the bed.
He also looked at the void with distracted eyes.
Yizhi looked at him squintly and put a record on the record player.
She coquettishly sat down on Naomi's knees.
Yizhi: Hey, why are you stern, so terrible.
Mitsuo: But... One
: Don't think about the old man... The old man is the old man ... We are us. Mitsuo
: ...
Yiji: Hold me!

31.
From the second floor of Watanabe's room, cheerful record songs came.
This further aroused Watanabe's sense of despair and loneliness.
He stared at the ceiling blankly, stood up and opened the door of the altar in the corner of the room.
Looking intently into the Buddhist altar.

32.
A picture of Watanabe's late wife is displayed in the altar.

33. The front window of the car is
rainy.
The car’s windshield wipers were swinging, and looking from the front window, a coffin car was walking ahead fifty or sixty feet away.

34.
Watanabe (about 30 years old) in mourning clothes in the car stared at the hearse in front of him, holding his son Mitsuo (about 5 years old) on his lap.
Sitting beside him were his eldest brother Kiichi and sister-in-law Tatsuko.
Tatsuko: (wiping her tears with a handkerchief) To be honest...young and light...and such a lovely child, it makes her worry so much.
Xiyi: Forget it... I've said it many times.

35. Car front window
The hearse walking in front turned a corner and disappeared.

36. Mitsuo in the car
: (screaming loudly) Hurry up... Hurry up... Mom is away.
Watanabe gritted his teeth and held back his grief, and hugged Mitsuo tightly.

37. Watanabe's room
Watanabe looked at with a photo of his deceased wife.
There was lewd laughter from my daughter-in-law.
Watanabe looked up at the second floor, showing an indescribable bleakness, and staring at the photo of his deceased wife.

38. Photo of deceased wife. The
wife is laughing.

39. Another woman photo of
a fashionable woman.

40. One room
watched Watanabe and his brother in the photo in his hand.
Xiyi: How is it? Isn't it pretty? ......You probably have nothing to say like this.
Watanabe: But...
Kiichi: Don't do it! First of all, you want to live alone at such a young age, which is not good for your health. Are you secretly looking for another woman?
Watanabe: Nothing like that.
Xiyi: Hmph, probably not. Otherwise, it's impossible to grow wine thorns at your age. Marry, marry. Like such a beautiful person, Xinqiao and Yiqiao can't be found at all.
What Watanabe wants to say.
Kiichi: It's Mitsuo's problem again, right? As soon as I talk to you about remarrying, you immediately talk about what Kwangman is like. When a child grows up, he will never care about Lao Tzu like Lao Tzu cares about him. When you marry a daughter-in-law, look, it will make you angry. So, you should think about what to do when you are old. I mean, find a good partner while you are young. First of all, your sister-in-law said that when someone like you is a bachelor, it feels disgusting to think about it.

41. Watanabe's room
Watanabe let out a long sigh, and put the photo of his deceased wife back in the altar.
Mitsuo's voice-over: Dad... Dad!
Watanabe was taken aback for a moment, sobered up, and hurriedly walked out.

42. Foyer
Watanabe came to the foyer and looked upstairs and shouted:
" Mitsuo !" Mitsuo
's voice-over: Good night! Please close the door below!
Watanabe was very upset.
But even so, he still used to walk down the hall and lock the door.
Then he pulled an old softball bat from the corner of the shoe box and put it on top of the door.

43. The
audience cheered in the stands of the softball stadium .
Watanabe stood up and shouted:
"
Mitsuo ! Mitsuo !" Then he smiled and talked to the audience next to him:
"How? How accurate is the hit! ... That batsman is my son." The
people wowed again. Shout.
Watanabe was taken aback and looked towards the court.

44. The sports field
Mitsuo (high school students) stolen bases.
And being beaten to death by the opponent, it was a terrible loss.

45.
Watanabe stared at the scene blankly in the stands .

46. The sports field
Mitsuo listlessly off the exit, back to his seat at.

47. In the stands,
"Really!"
"Idiot!! It wasn't a dead ball! What the hell did this kid do." The
surrounding scolding and contemptuous glances all turned towards Mitsuo. Among them, only Watanabe looked at his son sadly with an air full of love for his son.

48.
Watanabe sat on the edge of the mat in the foyer , staring at the ceiling.

49. Mitsuo
(in high school) in the corridor of the hospital was pushed in while lying on a stretcher.
Watanabe followed very worriedly.
The stretcher trolley was pushed to the operating room, and the door of the operating room opened.
Nurses wearing masks and surgical gowns came to see him.
Watanabe Liushen no master, warned his son:
"Mitsuo! Be strong! Appendicitis surgery is nothing, it's as easy as pulling a worm tooth." Mitsuo
: Don't let your father be in front of you during the operation?
Watanabe: Hmm... Dad happened to have something else,... I'm waiting here.
He wiped his sweat after speaking.
As the stretcher trolley pushed into the operating room, the door closed silently.
Watanabe paced back and forth unsteadily in front of the door.

50.
Watanabe paced in the small room with only three seats.

51.
The bell of the station platform rang.
The noise of military singing and long live.
The small flag of the ocean.
Mitsuo stood on the train pedal with a smile.
In front of him were Watanabe, Kiichi and his wife, and the university students who came to see him off.
The whistle was ringing.
The front of the car was sprayed with steam, and the wheels turned slowly.
Watanabe looked at Mitsuo without blinking, his lips trembled.
In an instant, Mitsuo looked at Watanabe like a child.
He suddenly jumped off the pedal and put his arms around Watanabe's shoulders.
"Dad!"
Watanabe wanted to say something, but he couldn't make a sound.
Suddenly Mitsuo jumped on the train.
He stood on the pedal and waved goodbye to everyone, getting further and further, getting smaller and smaller.
At this time, Watanabe's trembling mouth just yelled:
"Hikari... Mitsuo!"

52. In the hall
"Mitsuo!"
Watanabe couldn't bear it anymore and ran towards the stairs.

53. Stairs
Watanabe ran up to the stairs.
Halfway through, the lights on the second floor turned off all at once.
He stood on the stairs in a daze.
(Draw)

54. Watanabe's room
seems to be completely broken, but he is used to laying bedding.
Fold your pants neatly and place them under the mattress.
The coat was hung on the wall and covered with furoshiki.
Watanabe laid out the bedding, picked up the alarm clock on the set and winded it up. Just after the wind was about to be placed on the pillow, he suddenly stopped. With a pained expression on his face, he threw the alarm clock and got into the bed.
He was so covered with his head and sobbed sobbing.
The commendation frame of the 30-year Full Service Autonomy Award hanging on the door lintel looked down at him condescendingly.
(Transformation)

55. (Transformation)
Sakai , the foyer of Watanabe's house, visits.
Butler Lin came out to respond.
"Eh?! The master goes to work on time every day!"
Sakai: Hey, he didn't see him. It's been five days and I haven't handed in the leave slip. The chief of the unit asked me to take a look.
Steward Lin stood up dumbfounded and stood under the stairs and shouted towards the second floor.
"Mrs.! Mrs.!"
(lined)

56. The public telephone can be
seen through the glass window and can't stop talking.

57. Company
Mitsuo held the receiver with a puzzled expression.
"Uh?! ...... there is such a thing? ......"

58. City Hall Citizens Division
Chief of empty tables.
Sakai stood in front of the chief and reported, and the chief did not seem to believe that it was true.
Sakai: You probably don't believe it, but this is true. The people in his family were shocked.
Toyoko comes over.
"Oh, isn't the section chief here today?...it's so bad!"
People's eyes shifted from Sakai to Toyoko.
Chief: What's the matter? I will handle it when the section chief is away.
Toyoko: But, if you submit your resignation, you will get the stamp of the section chief.
Chief: What? Are you not going to do it here?
Toyoko: Yes, it's inappropriate for me to do this.
She finished speaking lightly, yawning leisurely and indifferently to the surprised look of the chief of the section and the staff.
(Draw)

59. Xiyi's home (Ye)
Xiyi, Mitsuo, and Tatsuko are here.
Mitsuo: Uncle, I went to the bank to check, and I originally withdrew 50,000 yuan from the bank.
Hi one: Ho! This guy...huh...have gotten involved with a woman...if that's the case, it will be lively.
Tatsuko: Don't talk about it!
Mitsuo: Hahaha...Is it really...
Kiichi: Ah, there is nothing ridiculous. The kind of guy who thinks it's impossible is the most dangerous.
Mitsuo: ...
Kiichi: As far as I can see, he is a lecherous guy, a sullen obsession. For you, he has been a bachelor for thirty years. So, one day he couldn't bear it anymore and finally broke out. That's the truth.
Tatsuko: He has lost weight recently, and his skin is so dry.
Mitsuo: Have you seen him recently?
Tatsuko: About four days ago, I came in the morning. I think there must be something with him. But, your uncle speaks in this tone...Suddenly he said with a straight face, why? There is no need to borrow money...
Xiyi: Hahaha, but he is that face. How could you think that he would do something good?
Tatsuko: Stop talking! (To Mitsuo) Your uncle always treats other men as people who eat, drink and have fun just like himself.
Hi one: Hahaha.
Tatsuko: (squinting at him) Hey, Mitsuo, does he have a foreigner?
Mitsuo: (Vaguely) Ah...it's also...

60. It was
just dark on the street , but no matter which store was closed early, it was quiet. This is a very sluggish street.
A black dog wandered around the door of a small tavern that was only open for business.

61.
A man in a black kimono jacket is drinking in a pub , which always makes people feel like a demon in a recession.
He raises his glasses from time to time, and often smiles, writing manuscripts on the counter.
After a while, he raised his head and said hello inwardly:
"Hey! Old man...send this to me. The guy from the magazine is sitting at home and reminding me."
"Okay!" The
old man came out, his face not. So happy.
Man: Also, when I come back, buy me a powerful sleeping pill at the drugstore on the corner of the street. You only need to mention that I bought him and sell it to you.
Old man: But, sir, the drugstore is closed.
Man: Is it time to close the door?
Old man: This street, you can sleep after dinner.
Man: Oops! But he can't sleep unless he gets a drink and a glass of whiskey.
"Maybe it's not polite!..."
Following the voice, the man turned his head in surprise.
Watanabe sat alone in a corner of the room, as if he had been forgotten, with three empty hip flasks in front of him.
Watanabe:...If...If you use sleeping pills, I have...
He walked up slowly, took out four small boxes of sleeping pills from the pockets of his jacket, and put them on the table.
The man was inexplicable, and looked at each other with the old man in the wine shop.
The old man blinked embarrassedly at Watanabe, picked up the manuscript and walked out.
The black dog immediately slipped in from under the old man's feet.
Man: Sorry, is it okay to pay at the public price?
Watanabe: No... I plan to throw it away... Can you...
Man:? ...But...
Watanabe: No need...Really...
Man: Really ? ...Then, pay at this price.
Watanabe: Ah...no.
Man: It should be so, please drink some more, you are not a little drunk. ...
Watanabe: Ah... I vomited as much as I drank... Because... My stomach... got stomach cancer...
Man: Stomach cancer?
Watanabe: Yes.
Man: It's terrible...you...do it...it's a little nonsense.
Watanabe: Yeah... It’s embarrassing to say... Because...
Man: But you knew it was stomach cancer and you were drinking, it was suicide...
He was talking as if he looked at the pill box in surprise. Look at Watanabe.
Watanabe: But I can't die...I wanted to die cruelly...but I can't die no matter what...that is to say...should not die...I have lived so much age...why... ...For...
Man: You don't have a son? ...
Watanabe's expression is very painful.
Man: Stomach hurts?
Watanabe: No... it's more than the stomach...
He scratched his chest.
Man: Oh... You seem to have something sad...
Watanabe: Ah... This... In short... I am confused... I am just mad at myself... Me... Until two or three days Before, I haven't spent my own money to buy alcohol...because I know I won't live long anyway...This is...
Man: I get it! I get it! However, drinking is no good. First of all, do you feel the smell?
Watanabe: Ah...no taste...but...so I often forget...stomach cancer...or other things...drinking such expensive wine...it's a sarcasm and irony of the past self...as if it is Drinking poison... feels both painful... and comfortable...
Man: Well, I understand your mood!
Watanabe: Ah, thank you...
He suddenly threw the sashimi on the plate to the black dog under his feet.
Then he looked at the black dog eating very fragrantly with a sad expression.
Suddenly he raised his face and looked at the man with stunned eyes.
Watanabe: I am here... now I have fifty thousand yuan... I want to... spend it all at once... but... it's embarrassing to say... but I don't know how to spend... that is to say... please ...
Man: Do you mean let me teach you how to spend it?
Watanabe: Yes...it's really impolite...
Man: You're welcome... But...
Watanabe: No... This money was saved for decades... Ah... So... it's only now... ...
Man: I get it. However, I think you should keep your money. I have a treat tonight.
Watanabe: Then...I can...
Man: You just let me figure it out. Ah, it's funny, it's impolite to say it's funny...You are indeed a rare character. I, I am a man who writes novels that are difficult to be elegant, and I am a fool. You gave me a lot of inspiration tonight. Yes, human misfortune does have a good side. In other words, misfortune can teach people the truth. Your stomach cancer gives you an understanding of life. Ah, people are frivolous. How beautiful life is, he only knows when he faces death. However, few people understand such a simple truth. The worst guy is that he didn't know until he died. Ah, you are so amazing, at this age, you still want to betray the past you. I was moved by your betrayal spirit. You used to be the servant of life, but now you want to be the master of life. Lesheng knows fate, this is a human obligation. To waste the life given by God is a blasphemy against God. People must reach the level of greed for survival. Greed has always been said to be immoral, this kind of thinking is old. Greed is a virtue. Especially the greed of Le Sheng Zhi Fate is even more so. Okay, let's go and take back your wasted life in the past, OK? Me, tonight, I will happily play the role of a demon for you. That is, a kind demon character who doesn't demand a price. Haha, it seems to be prepared for you, and there is a black dog. Okay, show us the way.
The black dog was kicked by him and barked.

62.
Watanabe and the man came here in the pachinko room .
Man: Remember, this silver ball is you, and your life is this ball. In other words, this is a machine that uses real life to kill themselves and liberates their lives... It is also a vending machine that sells dreams and longings.
Watanabe pressed the button.
Immediately scoring fifteen, the bell rang. The small light immediately turned on, and the ball rolled out.
(Planned)

63.
The man in the beer hall kept talking to Watanabe. But the people in the tavern are noisy and can't hear anything. Right behind the two of them was the band and began to play music. Watanabe was taken aback and shrank his neck.
(

Drawing ) 64. The streets of Huajie Liuxiang
There were many pedestrians in the past-Watanabe and the man were among them.
"Hey, let's sit down!"
"Let's have fun."
"Hey, come here, come here! The widowed guy!" The
waitress of the cafe in disguised form of prostitution took away Watanabe's hat all at once.
Watanabe wanted to chase, but the man held him.
"Hey, don't worry!"
Watanabe: But...
"Ah, don't you know? That woman is the most greedy among mammals. You need to spend a dozen hats in order to get that hat back." Money."
Watanabe:?
Man: First of all, you'd better buy a new hat in order to change your mind.
(Pad)

65.
The man in the tavern standing eating and drinking came in, followed by Watanabe.
That new beautiful hat on Watanabe's head shined brightly.
Exaggeratedly speaking, as if a hat came in.
"Welcome, welcome!" The
female boss smiled and expressed welcome behind the counter.
It seems that the man is a regular customer here, and the female boss pours whiskey without asking.
"Your friends drink this too?" The
lady boss wanted to take care of the hat Watanabe put on the counter.
Watanabe hurriedly snatched the hat from the female boss.
The female boss looked at Watanabe in surprise.
(Stroke)
The man is quite drunk.
"What are you laughing at? It's not a lie at all, he does have stomach cancer."
Female boss: Then, drinking...
"Fuzzy! So you can't do it. The picture of Christ wearing the crown of thorns is looking at him. He is the Christ carrying a cross like stomach cancer. Like your female boss, as soon as you declare that you have stomach cancer, Guan Bao will die immediately. But he was different. He declared that he had stomach cancer and started life again at the moment. Hey, am I right?"
He patted Watanabe's shoulder vigorously.
Watanabe was pale, but his expression was strangely serious.
The hat worn sideways on his head is enough to show the amount of alcohol in his stomach.
(Pad)

66. Ballroom
"I said, that's the minimum politeness."
The man kept pulling Watanabe.
Watanabe does not move. He stood in the dancing crowd very curiously, looking intently at the dancing couple.

67. Cafés
string music played by bands that attract business in cafes.
A waitress wore Watanabe's hat and danced wildly.
Watanabe chased the hat around.
As soon as the music stopped, the waitress and Watanabe hugged each other and fell into a chair.
People clap their hands.
"Sir, what tune do you want to play?"
The man looked sleepy, raised his sleepy face and waved his hand.
Watanabe wanted to pull his hand away.
Watanabe: Play a "Life is Short..."
Band:?
Watanabe: "Life is short, let's fall in love girl".
Band: (I finally remembered) OK... the love song of the Taisho era (Note 2)!
The band began to play, and there was a woman sitting on Watanabe’s lap. He sang very seriously:

Life is short,
fall in love girl...

The man, the waitress, and other guests all felt gloomy when they heard his aggressive singing. Fear, silent.
Man: (stands up and shouts) Yes! ! You must sing with this spirit, and you should sing "Life is short, fall in love, old man"!
(Pad)

68.
Watanabe and the man in the strip club crowded among the pits of guests.
Lazy music.
The man was talking incoherently in Watanabe's ear.
Man: Stripping...Striptease is not art...art, more than art...art...More directly, in other words, the body of the woman swaying there is just a plate of grilled beef, a cup of soju, and one Acupuncture, hormones, uranium...
Watanabe , who was watching the stage, suddenly cried out for good.
The man was taken aback and looked at Watanabe.
(Pad)

69. Street
"Neon lights! Neon lights! Neon lights!"
In this sea of ​​light, Watanabe screamed and walked staggeringly.
Crowds of taxis in Mercedes-Benz were blocked by the rampage near Watanabe.
The car hurriedly avoided him. As a result, the car behind him hit the car in front. The sound of car horns and the yelling of the driver immediately made the surroundings boil.
However, Watanabe now can't hear this at all.
Watanabe roared, then staggered away.
The man chased him panting.
(Pad)

70.
Dancing people are all on the stage of the pub and in the hall.
People have already squeezed in the hall.
Watanabe was among the men and women who hugged and swayed.
He was jumping with his arms around the shoulders of a woman who was like a fat-mouthed pig.
His face was sweaty, just like the flower monk familiar with medieval oil paintings.
Two feet away from Watanabe, the man seemed to be sober.
He yawned, and the woman who was dancing with him gave him a hard twist.
(Planned)

71.
There are two women besides the man in the car and Watanabe.
The man was sitting on an extra-seat armchair, snoring with his drooping head swaying.
Watanabe was sandwiched between two bloated women, his face terribly pale.
His contrived posture, fish-like eyes, and tightly closed lips showed both sadness and funnyness.
A woman glanced at Watanabe squintingly, and put on her make-up roughly.
Judging from the faint light of the carriage lights, she looks like a fairy in her heavy clothing.
Another woman took out the crumpled banknotes from her handbag, flattened them one by one, and counted them.
She has a serious expression and quick movements.
Watanabe couldn't sit still.
He leaned forward, trying to say something to the driver.
His expression was very painful, and it took a long time to utter a word hoarsely:
"Stop...Stop!" The
car stopped.
Watanabe staggered out of the car.
The man murmured without opening his eyes.
"What's the matter? The tire is out of air?"
Woman: (looks into the darkness) It seems to be vomiting.
The man was taken aback and raised his face.
He poked his head out of the open car door and stared straight into the darkness.

72. Road
Watanabe walked out of the darkness like a ghost.

73.
The man in the car sat back in his seat astonished.
Watanabe is back.
He got into the car without saying a word, and took his seat.
His head was frowned in pain, and his face looked like white paper in the dimness.
The man turned his face away.
The woman slammed the car door shut.
Man: Hey, sing something, I hate the gloomy atmosphere.
The car started.
The woman sang like an errand.
The hypocritical singing voice further aroused the man's self-hatred and Watanabe's despair.
(Transformation)

74. (Transformation) Street in the
morning—
Watanabe walks on the street with morning light like a phantom.
On his head is that new beautiful hat.
However, there was a gloomy face under the hat.
The contrast between the two is very strange.
No wonder the pedestrians passing by stared at each other in an instant.
"Section Chief!"
Hearing this shout, Watanabe patrolled the surroundings with wide eyes.
Feng Zi ran forward.
"Sure enough, it's you!"
Toyoko stood in front of Watanabe, hissing in vain. She stared at Watanabe with her mischievous eyes, blinking big eyes.
The vigorous appearance and vigorous physique made Watanabe dazzled.
Toyoko: The hat is wrong, which made me think about it for a long time.
Watanabe was taken aback, and when he realized it, he immediately took off his hat.
Toyoko: I finally found it! I'm looking for you at your house... Are you going to work now?
Watanabe: Ah... I...
Toyoko: Do ​​you bring your stamp?
Watanabe: Ah, the stamp is at home.
Toyoko: I want to quit my job, so...
Watanabe:?
Toyoko: I have found another job, so I am anxious...
Watanabe: Then... come to my house.
The two walked side by side, silent for a moment.
Fengzi strode forward with his chest straight.
Her full of vitality made Watanabe feel a kind of pressure invisibly.
Watanabe: (feeling silent and hard to endure) You... why... leave the facility...
Toyoko: I was boring and lifeless there. It's always the same every month, it stays the same. Nothing new will happen. I have endured it for a year and a half. If there is anything new, it is that the section chief has rested for five days and the section chief’s hat... that's it.
Watanabe: ...

75. Mitsuo
and Kazue on the second floor of Watanabe's house are meeting at Hatoshou.
Mitsuo: Dad didn't say anything anyway when he came back.
Yizhi: There is nothing to say with him.
Mitsuo: That's not what I meant... I mean, don't let him see that our attitude is special. If you don't raise the issue of retirement pay first, this kind of thing probably won't happen.
Yizhi: You speak so casually, as if you blame me for everything. At that time, didn't you bring up the deposit matter? You also said, is he going to take it to the grave? …So, the old
man just… Hikaru: (sorrowful face). However, the more I think about it, the more confused it becomes. It's just such a big deal... Dad is like this... Anyway, Dad was the first time he left home.
Yizhi: Forget it! What is the old man doing now, is he leaving home because of us...Isn't all this unclear yet?
The two were silent for a moment, and sat opposite each other, thinking carefully.
The door opened.
The two stood up.
Toyoko's voice-over: I'll just wait here.
Watanabe's voice-over: Just come up.
Mitsuo and Yizhi looked at each other.
Yizhi quietly looked downstairs, her eyes rounded back.
"Look!"

76. The
butler in the hall took Watanabe's new hat and looked into the room in amazement.

77. Watanabe's room
Watanabe took off his coat, he was surprised, and looked back.
Because Fengzi's attitude is naturally helping him get off.
Such a simple and kind gesture shocked Watanabe's cold heart unexpectedly.
Watanabe was moved to tears and closed his eyes.
Of course, Feng Zi didn't notice this.
She hung her coat on the wall and looked at a large row of commendations framed with mirrors.
"Thirty years... thirty years in that kind of place, I just want to suffocate."
Toyoko found Watanabe staring at her intently.
"Ah! I'm sorry!"
Watanabe hurriedly looked away, slowly opening the leather bag on the table and said:
"Ah... Recently...every time I see it...always...I remember what you talked about not long ago. That joke...that joke...is completely true."
Fengzi:?
Watanabe: What have I done in the past 30 years...in the agency? No matter how I think about it, I can’t remember...I remember clearly...just busy...and just bored.
Fengzi stretched out his hand suddenly.
Watanabe:?
Toyoko: I was wrong. I was surprised that the section chief could say such things.
Watanabe: Ah... that... I am...
Toyoko waved her outstretched hand as if anxiously.
Watanabe was embarrassed and held Toyoko's hand timidly.
Toyoko smiled comfortably.
Watanabe was about to cry:
"Hehehe!" The
butler came in with the tea and panicked when he saw it.

78. Mitsuo
is changing his suit on the second floor , and Yizhi is waiting for him.
Mitsuo: Don't talk nonsense. My uncle once mentioned this matter, and I know the father's matter best.
Kazue: But...
Mitsuo: In short, it is unthinkable that the old man would be with such a young girl...

79. Watanabe's room
Watanabe is watching Toyoko's resignation.
"Hey... the format of your writing is wrong."
He said in his usual indifferent tone. When he saw Toyoko's unhappy expression, he quickly covered the picture.
Toyoko smiled happily.
Watanabe: (sorry) You... go to the office today?
Toyoko: Well,
why do n't you catch the express delivery... Watanabe: Okay, take my leave
slip ... He sits at the desk and spreads paper.
Toyoko: (with an inexplicable expression) Why have you been absent from work for several days? ...There was a lot of discussion in the agency. Everyone thinks this is a sudden change...
Watanabe: (vaguely) Because it's a little...
Toyoko: (looks at the fake book written by Watanabe) Are you really sick? …But it’s true.
Watanabe: (panicked) Ah…because…
Toyoko: Hehehe...Hey, it’s the section chief, pretending to go to work every day, but where did you go? Woolen cloth?
Watanabe:?
Toyoko: It's too late for you to cover up... But... it's also strange, don't you know? Yesterday, Mr. Sakai was here in the end, everything was exposed.
Watanabe's honest and embarrassed expression.
Toyoko: Hahaha, why do you care. You haven't been absent in thirty years...You have the right to be a fool for half a year.
Watanabe smiled bitterly and stamped the request for leave.
Feng Zi got it and stood up quickly.
Toyoko: But, the good thing is, I'm different from a chicken.
Watanabe: Chicken?
Toyoko: I mean Mr. Sakai, he is exactly the same as the chicken plucked and hung in the butcher shop.
Watanabe couldn't help but smile.
Toyoko: And being good at standing high is also very similar. He gets 200 yuan more salary than me, but because of this he looks down on me.
Watanabe: ...
Toyoko: Okay, goodbye!
Fengzi bowed his head and walked out.
There was a big hole in the heel of her sock.
Watanabe came out to see her, and suddenly stopped:
"Wait...I...I'll go with you."

80. Mitsuo on the second floor was about
to go to work, just about to go downstairs, and suddenly stopped.

81. Watanabe
and Toyoko come out from the gate of Watanabe's house .
Butler Lin, uncharacteristically, solemnly sees off the guests.

82. Mitsuo
and Yiji on the second floor looked down at the scene outside the door from the window.

83. From the second floor,
you can see Watanabe and Toyoko walking side by side along the courtyard wall from here.
Watanabe's new hat is particularly conspicuous.

84.
Mitsuo and Ichiji who watched Watanabe and Toyoko on the second floor were dumbfounded.
Butler's voice-over: Madam, madam!

85. The stair
steward ran upstairs enthusiastically.

86.
Watanabe and Toyoko walking along the road side by side.
Toyoko: Section Chief, you are so happy.
Watanabe:?
Toyoko: You live in such a house. Where we live, two rooms live in three houses...it is simply the Warring States Period.
Watanabe: ...
Toyoko: Besides, there is a good son, right?
Watanabe: (Trying to change the topic) Then maybe...Hey, where do you think women wear socks...
Toyoko: You buy it?
Watanabe: Yes.
Toyoko: This area...ah...probably there are in the foreign goods store.
Having said that, she asked curiously.
Toyoko: Women's socks... buy them for your daughter-in-law?
Watanabe:?
Toyoko: I heard that she looks very beautiful...this is also a report from the chicken.
Watanabe: ...
the backs of two people walking forward.
(Planned)

87. The
two in front of the foreign goods store came out.
Toyoko fanned the cellophane bag with socks on her face.
Toyoko: You really make me anxious to get angry.
Watanabe: Are you...why like that...
Toyoko:...I'm happy...I want to buy it, but that has to be saved from the three-month lunch box.
Watanabe:...
Toyoko: But section chief, why did you give me this...
Watanabe: Because... there are holes in your socks.
Toyoko: But, there are holes in my socks, the section chief’s feet will never be cold, right?
Watanabe: Ah... this... I'm just...
Toyoko: (paniced) You lied, you lied, you just told a lie. I know everything, your kind feelings... I am happy at this moment, but a little embarrassed... So I deliberately said strange things. please forgive!
Watanabe: ...

88. Cafe
Watanabe and Toyoko are drinking milk.
Toyoko: Let me teach you fun.
Watanabe: Is it fun?
Toyoko: In order to relieve loneliness, I nicknamed everyone in the Civic Division.
Watanabe: Oh...
Toyoko: Do ​​you want to hear it?
Watanabe: (with interest) Hmm...
Toyoko: Sea cucumber.
Watanabe: Sea cucumber?
Toyoko: Do ​​you know who it is? The slippery one that can't be grasped.
Watanabe:?
Toyoko: Ono chief.
Watanabe: (Expression as if scratching itching) Sea cucumber...makes sense...hehehe.
Fengzi: The gutter board...Three hundred and sixty-five days, the one who is always damp and damp.
Watanabe: Hey, Ohara, right?
Toyoko: Standard answer sheet!
The two looked at each other and laughed knowingly.
Toyoko: Next one... stick fly paper.
Watanabe: Sticky fly paper?
Toyoko: Two sticks here and two sticks there.
Watanabe: Hehehe.
Toyoko: Do ​​you understand? It's Noguchi.
Watanabe: Hahaha.
Toyoko: Next is Director Saito. Guess what nickname I gave him.
Watanabe: Mr. Saito... Mr. Saito...
Toyoko: The characteristic of the director is that there is no characteristic.
Watanabe: Hmph... I can...
Toyoko: I want to eat!
Watanabe: A meal?
Toyoko: A meal from the cafeteria.
Watanabe chuckled, and he laughed for a while.
Watanabe: So what is Kimura-kun?
Toyoko: Noodles...cautiously, always trembling.
Watanabe burst into tears with a laugh.
Toyoko: The section chief also has a nickname.
Watanabe's laughter stopped, panicking a little.
Toyoko: But I won't say it, because I made a mistake.
Watanabe: Ah... it doesn't matter... tell me.
Toyoko: What an embarrassment.
Watanabe: If you don't cover it up, then...
Toyoko: Okay, let me say, M...No...I...
Watanabe straightened up immediately. But immediately bowed his head with blinking eyes.
Toyoko: (softly) Please forgive me!
Watanabe: Ah, no... it's always me...
Watanabe forced a smile, but it was unnatural.
Seeing his expression, Feng Zi couldn't help laughing.
Watanabe finally made a real smile by her.

89. On the street corner,
Watanabe and Toyoko stopped and stood opposite each other.
Toyoko: Okay, right here...Thank you so much.

night-
steaming chicken sukiyaki pot.
Watanabe and Toyoko sat next to each other around the pot.
Toyoko is very talkative. She talked while eating.
Toyoko: Chief, why don't you eat anything at all.
Watanabe: Ah...I...
Toyoko: It looks like you are very tired.
Watanabe: But...today... indeed... it passed beautifully...
Toyoko: You snored during the climax of the film.
Watanabe: That was...because last night...it was a bit...
Watanabe did look tired.
The wine that he drank bit by bit also made him drunk.
Watanabe loosened his tie and wiped his face vigorously with a hot towel.
Wiping and wiping, suddenly murmured painfully accompanied by tears.
"Things like this...I can't tell anyone...Speaking of it...it would laugh generously...In a word...why...I have...for thirty years...worked like a mummy..."
Feng Zi stopped his chopsticks and looked at Watanabe intently.
Watanabe watched her staring straight at herself and waved her hand hurriedly.
"Ah... I'm not... because I called mummy digging... that was nothing... there is nothing I can do... What I want to say... It's just why I... became a mummy. Because... This is all for... son... but... son... don't understand... so..."
Toyoko: (blunts out) But, it would be too much to put all the responsibility on the son.
Watanabe was taken aback.
Toyoko: Is that true? If your son begs you and says, let's be a mummy, that is of course another matter.
Watanabe: ...
Toyoko: When you are old, the old people in the world are similar. It's the same with my mother. She always puts on the logic she said just now: It's because of you that she has suffered so much. Of course, I have to thank you for giving birth to me; however, it is not your child’s responsibility to give birth to a child.
Watanabe: ...
Toyoko: Section Chief, what's the matter? Why are you talking ill of your son to me?
Watanabe: Ah... No...
Toyoko: Hehehe... You still love your son the most.
Watanabe was said to be short by her, eyes blinking and there was nothing to answer.

98. Watanabe
, Mitsuo, and Ichiji on the second floor of Watanabe's house .
Watanabe, who was allowed to sit in the upper seat, looked at Mitsuo and Kazue, and wanted to say something to them while drinking tea. However, Mitsuo was unnaturally enthusiastic about reading the evening paper, and he did not raise his eyes. The whole room was filled with indifferent silence.
Mitsuo: The power crisis seems to continue for a while.
Watanabe: Ho... Really?
There was silence again.
Mitsuo: It is so warm this year. It is said that it is the abnormal change of the warm current in the past 30 years.
Watanabe: Ho... Really?
There was silence again.
After many hesitations, Watanabe made up his mind to speak.
"I have something to ask you..."
Mitsuo and Yiji looked at each other immediately.
Watanabe: To be honest... I thought about it a long time ago... but it was really unpleasant...
Mitsuo hurriedly avoided the sight of his father:
"Dad, I don't think about this question..."
Watanabe: ?
Mitsuo: ...today...I also went to my uncle's to discuss...like this kind of problem, in order to prevent any disputes afterwards, it is better to go through the formalities first. …For example, we should enjoy the rights to our father’s property. We think that if we don’t go through the formalities beforehand, we can prevent future entanglements... Now it’s an example. You spent 50,000 yuan in these four or five days. . Nowadays young woman...
Watanabe: Mitsuo... What do you... say!
Mitsuo: (furiously) Dad! ! We respect your personal will. You heard it clearly. Let's just say, you are so old, and you still live a debauchery somehow, we also admit it. We only put forward the minimum common sense conditions. You also give Yizhi a thought about her. Ah, why don't Yizhi consider her, please consider her natal family. You take a woman who has a relationship with you to your home. This is a violation of common sense, right? Besides, actually shaking hands in the house. The butler said in front of me, I really don't know where to put this face. ...
Watanabe was pale and trembling.

99. The
steward of the stairs stands downstairs, listening with his ears outstretched.
She heard the sound of the paper sliding door and hurried away.
Watanabe entered the screen with a dazed expression. He walked down the stairs like a sleepwalker.

The vacant seat of the citizen section chief of the municipal government .
The unreviewed documents on the table are piled up high.
Narrator's voice-over: The protagonist of this story cannot come to work. Two weeks have passed. Therefore, all kinds of gossip about him and countless speculations appeared during this period.
The staff members squinted at the chief's desk and whispered.
Narrator's voice-over: Although these gossips and speculations are different, they are completely consistent on the point that Watanabe did a very ridiculous thing. However, as far as he is concerned, he has never been as serious as his actions during this period.

101. In a corner
of the factory, the dirty glass windows of the factory were shaking slightly due to the vibration of the engine. Watanabe and Toyoko sat opposite each other under the window. Toyoko's hair and work clothes were covered with dust, and she was anxiously teaching Watanabe.
"This is not the same as the city government. It's not a place where accidents can be done in an hour and will drag it for a day."
"Ah...that..."
"Here is a waste of one second, and one second should be reduced. Income."
"So... I'll come again... tonight..."
" I'm tired at night, it's better to go to sleep instead of playing."
"..."
"The first thing to ask is, what's the matter with you, section chief?... Every night I have fun with me."
"...because..."
" Just stop playing...I always feel unnatural."
"But...just go there once tonight... OK?"
"No... it's endless..."
"..."
"Okay, sorry! "
She finished speaking and ran into the workshop.
Watanabe stood there quietly. It didn't take much time. He seemed to be beaten down. He lowered his head and walked back slowly.
"Wait a minute!"
Toyoko caught up with him, and angrily said to him:
"Speaking counts, just tonight."
(Pad)

102. Cafe
Watanabe and Toyoko sat in silence while facing each other.
Toyoko yawned. Seeing this, Watanabe hurriedly stood up.
"Okay... go out for a stroll... for a while."
Toyoko: Enough... Then it should be a small bean porridge shop, Sixi restaurant, soba noodle shop... Bah, what's the point of Jing Teng Teng?
