Chapter 120
Then, at Ryoko's urging, Ryosaku also opened the small ring case.
He took out two platinum rings.
When he looked inside the rings, he saw the words "ISAO" and "TOKIKO" written in the Roman alphabet.
"Ryoko-san, what is this...!?"
"Ryosaku-san, if you don't mind, could you please open and read this letter as well...?"
Ryosaku looked at the back of the envelope he was handed...and it said "Isao Minegishi", in other words, the posthumous name of "Mr. Isao".
(I see... Isao-san's "Isao" was this Chinese character.)
"Hey Ryosaku-san. This might seem really presumptuous, but... could you open that letter and read it to me, Ryosaku-san? I want to know Isao-san's final message to you, too. I thought it would be rude of me to read it first, so I kept the letter open and waited for you to arrive."
"Yes. I understand."
Ryosaku carefully cut off the top of the envelope containing the letter with the scissors he borrowed from Ryoko, and slowly read aloud the letter addressed to Ryosaku that was inside.
