Town Hall.
After signing the last document, Miyamizu leaned back in his chair and rested for a while. The female secretary walked in and took the document. Miyamizu said,
"Today is the Autumn Festival. If you're done, let everyone get off work early.”
"Yes, mayor."
After the secretary left, Miyamizu went to the window. The sunlight was already pouring in. It was probably time for school to end. He wondered if Miya and Siye had returned home. Did the bathrobes he gave them fit them? It was a pity that he was too busy with the Autumn Festival. Otherwise, he could have taken the time to visit the shrine.
Miyamizu went back to his seat and took out a folder from the drawer. He opened it to reveal a yellowed piece of paper. He slowly read it. This was not the first time he had read it. He thought that he had no interest in entertainment other than work and social gatherings. However, these manuscripts moved him.
This was written by his daughter, Miwa. In a small town, the protagonist, Tomoya Okazaki, became a delinquent because of his family. He lived a poor life in Kozaka High School, but he hoped to leave the small town one day. On April 14th of a certain year, Tomoya found a girl who had stopped in front of the school's ramp. After Tomoya met this girl named " Furukawa Nagisa," his life began to change drastically.
The story was very long. The early stages were happy, just like a carefree high school life. However, towards the end, it slowly became heavy, especially when he saw Zhu, who had become his friend's wife, leave with an apology to her husband and child. Miyamizu Shunki shed tears because this scene was exactly the same as the scene where his wife said sorry with regret and died of illness. Later, his friend lost the motivation to live and abandoned his child, Xi, dispiritedly. Tomoya Okazaki hated his alcoholic father and ruined his life and ideals, but in the end, he became just like his father. People would always inadvertently become the person they hated in the past. How ironic.
When he saw this, Miyamizu almost did not dare to continue reading. Was this story a reflection of his daughter's life? In her eyes, he was also so infuriating and pitiful, right? In the end, Xi also passed away like Nagisa, and it was far more tragic than her mother. At that time, Miyamizu almost wanted to rush into the shrine and ask his daughter why she treated this poor little girl like this. When he mustered up the courage to watch the end, he cried again. Tomoya Okazaki, who had changed his mind, also understood his father's pain and his responsibility over the years. He had triggered a miracle and turned back time to gain a new life.
This story truly touched Miyamizu Shunki. He began to wake up from his actions and tried to reconcile with his daughters. Although he still had his own concerns, the family that seemed to have stopped time and kinship finally flowed again.
"Is this story really written by Three Leaves?”
As long as he had time, Miyamizu would slowly revise and read it. While he liked this novel, he had always wondered about this question. Although there were many plots that resonated and insinuated in it, with his daughter's knowledge and ability, could she really write such a touching work? The talent contained in it was not something that a rural high school girl could contain.
"Miss Gong Shui, please wait for a moment. Let me inform the mayor first.”
There was a commotion outside. Miyamizu put down the manuscript and saw his daughter striding in. When she saw her, she couldn't help but be stunned.
"Why are you here? And your hair…"
Three Leaves strode to the table and looked at him."
"Duo Sang, I have something to tell you."
Miyamizu Shunki had a strong sense of déjà vu, as if this scene had happened before. After the secretary came in, he waved her away and said,
"What is it?"
Compared to that day, his tone had softened a lot.'Three Leaves' went straight to the point,"
" Duo Sang, Comet Diamat will pass by Earth tonight and will split into fragments and hit Itoshou Town. So please activate the disaster rehearsal immediately after seeing the comet and ask everyone to take refuge in the high school field.”
Even though the father-daughter relationship had eased up a lot during this period of time, Miyamizu still said after hearing this ridiculous statement,
"Are you crazy? Did you come all the way here to joke with me?”
It was no wonder he was angry. How could a normal person believe such nonsense? As if she knew that this was the answer, her daughter closed her eyes and opened them again.
"Is this your choice?"
“……”
Without waiting for him to say anything,'Palace Water Three Leaves' turned around and left. Before he left the office, he suddenly turned around and said,"
"Miracles won't happen to people who only believe in common sense. Let me ask you, how did you and Gasang meet? You've already forgotten that a miracle happened to you.”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without any hesitation. Miyashui Shunki originally felt that his daughter's attitude was too disrespectful, which made him a little angry. However, when he heard the last sentence, he was stunned. After an unknown amount of time, Miyashui Shunki muttered,
"A miracle happened to me? Yes, I've already forgotten how Second Ye and I met and fell in love.”
Dusk arrived.
Ross let out a sigh of relief. He had already done what he needed to do. The rest was up to each of them to make their own choices. His cell phone rang. It was the name of Sayaka and the imperial envoy Heyuan. As expected, they had complained about the comet and were reprimanded by their parents.
"I knew it would be like this. If a person wants to die, even Buddha can't do anything about it.”
Ross threw away his last bit of enthusiasm and went straight to Miyamizu Shrine. His grandmother, Ichiyo, and his sister, Four Leaves, were already waiting for him. One Leaf said,"
"How did it go with your father?"
"I've already tried my best. Everything depends on his choice.”
The old man didn't say anything more, and Four Leaf couldn't help but say,"
" If Duo Sang doesn't believe me, it means that he will stay. Then, do we have to watch him…"
"The town hall looks intact after three years. If Dorson had been in the office, he might not have been injured.”
Ross wasn't too sure when his phone rang again. He picked it up and saw that it was his father.
"Comet Diamat will descend at 7:15, and the drill will start at 6:30.”
Ross revealed an incredulous look, then handed the phone to his grandmother and sister. Four Leaf looked at it and cheered,"
"That's great. Sister, you've convinced Father!”
"I can't believe this stubborn son-in-law actually chose to believe his own daughter after hearing such a ridiculous thing?”
Granny One-leaf exclaimed. Ross heaved a sigh of relief and said,
"Perhaps…he didn't believe in me, but in a miracle.”
