At 11:40 in the morning, Sakaki had just taken off his suit jacket and was planning to try out how smooth the hot springs can make human skin.

Ding dong!

Ding dong!

Ding dong!

"Who is it? Can you calm down for a while?"

The doorbell rang throughout the corridor. When Sakaki heard it, he had no choice but to put on his clothes and come to the entrance under Miss Miyano's subtle gaze.

"Xiao Cheng!"

Outside the door, a middle-aged woman warmly invited:

"You haven't eaten yet?"

"The president and the others are going to pick you up today at noon. I'll go home and put away your things first, and I'll take you there later!"

Before Sakaki could refuse, the middle-aged woman had already hurried out of the yard and up the hillside.

"What's going on?"

Hearing the sound coming from outside, Miss Miyano walked out of the bathroom and asked:

"We are not relatives, why do you want to invite us to dinner?"

"have no idea"

Sakaki also looked confused and couldn't figure out the situation.

They didn't give him a chance to refuse.

It just so happened that Sakaki Cheng wanted to ask the nearby residents about this house and Sakaki Ryunosuke and his wife, so there was no harm in accepting their invitation.

Just after unloading the luggage from the car and returning home, a middle-aged woman came out:

"Xiao Cheng, Xiao Ai, are you ready?"

"Ready, didn't know you were."

"Kinechi Keiko, just call me Auntie Keiko!"

The middle-aged woman waved her hand:

"Let's go when we're ready, the president and the others have already arrived!"

Taking the key, Sakaki Makoto and Miss Miyano followed Keiko Kinuchi, down the mountain along the road, and arrived at the Lake Ashi Pier where there were many tourists.

There was a long queue on the pier, with tourists braving the scorching sun, waiting for the next sightseeing boat to arrive.

In this season, taking a sightseeing boat to enjoy the beautiful scenery is an essential activity in Lake Ashi.

Akiko Kiuchi didn't have the slightest awareness of queuing, and she and Sakaki Makoto walked past the queue in a swagger and arrived in front of a small white sightseeing yacht.

"Come up, come up. When I heard you guys coming, the president and the others didn't even catch any fish, they just returned to the voyage!"

Sakaki looked at the three characters "Shenryu Maru" engraved on the back of the sightseeing yacht, smacked his lips, took his girlfriend's hand, and boarded the yacht deck under the envious gazes of the tourists.

As soon as they got on the boat, a thin old man with gray hair, wearing a Hawaiian shirt and large pants came up to him. He was holding a sturdy black sea bass in his hand and gave Sakaki a solid bear hug.

"Welcome welcome!"

The old man patted Sakaki's shoulder vigorously and said with a smile on his face:

"I thought that brat Ryunosuke had forgotten all of us!"

"He has some conscience and knows how to come back to see us. Where are Xiaocheng, Ryunosuke and Yukito?"

"ah?"

Sakaki was startled slightly, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Akiko Kinuchi say:

"President Mochida, aren't Ryunosuke and Oriyuki going abroad for research? They are busy with work!"

"Oh, yes, yes, look at my memory."

President Mochida, who was wearing a floral shirt, slapped his head and said regretfully:

"If you haven't come back, you haven't come back. Xiao Cheng, how are they doing?"

"Well, that's it?"

Sakaki answered ambiguously.

"Remember to tell them when you go back that they are not too young anymore. Don't run out every day and mess around!"

After speaking, President Mochida raised the black seabass in his hand, hugged Sakaki's shoulders affectionately, and said proudly:

"How about it, 20 pounds!"

"I'll have it for lunch today, half sashimi and half hot pot!"

While chatting, Sakaki found out that President Mochida handed the fish to Akiko Kiuchi and took him to the empty bow.

"Xiao Cheng, you came back this time to investigate what happened that year."

Looking at the clear lake in the distance, President Mochida suddenly changed the subject:

"Not long after Zhixue went out for research, Ryunosuke took you to move to Tokyo. Before leaving, he gave me a tape and told me to keep it. Within a few months, there was a group of black people wearing sunglasses. The clothesmen are here, well, they are dressed the same as you are now."

"Those men in black had guns in their hands. I couldn't stop them. They took several cardboard boxes from your house before the police arrived."

"I don't know what's in the box, but I've never seen Oriyuki and Ryunosuke since then."

"I've been thinking about when you would come, but I didn't expect that I would have to wait for 17 years."

President Mochida reached into his arms and pulled out a dark old-fashioned tape from his waist:

"Knowing that you were coming, I had someone bring the tape from home and I can give it to you now."

The tape was in his hands, and it was heavy. Sakaki's lips moved. He had countless things to say, but when he reached his lips, there was only one sentence left:

"Thanks."

"Why are you so polite to me?"

President Mochida slapped him on the back, and the force of his hand made Sakaki stumble:

"It's hard to find players for old-fashioned tapes like this. I have one at home, but I don't know if it can still be used. After dinner, you can go to my house to get it."

During the conversation, more than a dozen people boarded the yacht one after another. Judging from their dressing, they seemed to be residents living nearby.

Some people are carrying pots, some are carrying vegetables, and even worse.

I came here with a knife box, and I saw that it was the master sushi chef in the shop.

Everyone who sees Sakaki Makoto and Miss Miyano will greet them cordially.

"These people don't even open their stores in order to help you."

Akiko Kinuchi smiled and said:

"Today's tourists are unlucky. No one will serve them. They can only drink the northwest wind at noon."

"Aunt Akiko, does this cruise ship belong to the president's family?"

Miss Miyano asked.

"No, the Shenryu Maru is the public property of the Lake Ashi Chamber of Commerce. It usually sells tickets to sail back and forth between Atami and Lake Ashi."

After looking around, Akiko Kinuchi lowered her voice and said:

"The name of this yacht is borrowed from Ryuunosuke!"

"Are my parents so popular?"

Sakaki couldn't help but ask:

"Did they donate to the village?"

"Donate?"

Kinuchi Akiko's eyes were filled with astonishment:

"We are a famous scenic spot here. The number of tourists every day is at least two to three thousand. Do you need to donate?"

Got it.

A village full of rich people.

"Your mother opened a clinic in the village back then and was the only doctor in the village."

Akiko Kiuchi said fondly:

"In those years, when everyone got sick, it was your mother who treated them. Her medical skills were no worse than those of the attending physicians in the big hospitals in the city!"

"Doctors as good as her have gone to big hospitals to make a career and become famous. Who wants to stay in the mountains?"

"It is precisely because of this that everyone pays more attention to your parents."

Sakaki understood.

Karasuma Oriyuki's importance to the village is roughly the same as that of Aso Minoru, who was the only doctor on the island during the Moon Shadow Island incident.
