Chapter 70
The photo taken out of the envelope showed the nostalgic Mieko and Lisa Tanaka, who had moved to Hokkaido earlier.
They were pictured side by side, and Ryosaku saw Mieko on the right side, seeing him for the first time in three years.
It was a photo taken at an amusement park during a field trip shortly after Ryosaku and Mieko met.
In the background, you can see the attraction's horse-drawn carriage ride, the haunted house building, and the Ferris wheel.
Mieko is in the middle, and Lisa is standing next to her quietly and modestly.
Both of them were smiling and standing stiffly in an "upright" posture.
When he saw Mieko...in an instant, all the beautiful memories that had dried up and were disappearing beyond memory suddenly turned into a fountain of memories, like the clear water of a gushing spring.
The first time Ryosaku saw her at a commemorative photo shoot in the schoolyard, his heart was blown away at first sight...
That intimate day when he took the plunge to call out to her as she hung from the horizontal play equipment, his heart pounding with nervousness...
Chasing each other, playing hide and seek...and those moments when they swayed together on the swing...
When they read picture books together in the library on a rainy day, the happy profile of Mieko, who smelled as good as those violet flowers...
The image of Mieko on the way to school, holding hands and walking happily, singing and feeling the touch of each other's hands, the warmth of each other's hands, and the boundless love for each other...
All of those memories flowed into Ryosaku's mind without stagnation all at once.
(Ah...now that I think about it, Mieko-chan met my eyes for the first time and smiled...)
(That's right, Mieko-chan was hanging from the horizontal bar play equipment, her panties were completely exposed...hehe.)
(We ran here and there and had fun together... I run faster than Mieko-chan, so I had to wait for her for a while...)
(Mieko-chan sitting on the swing... She smelled so nice... Ah... I feel so nostalgic...)
(Mieko-chan's left hand... it was soft and warm...)
(Mieko-chan, I hear you've grown taller...how do you look now...? I've grown a little too.)
(Mieko-chan... Mieko-chan... ah... Mieko-chan...)
