It's now evening. On the way home after club activity. Buchou and Asia are walking to the side of me. Since we live in the same house, we go home together. It seems like today is the worst day. I talked about my past but no one had sympathy towards me. Fine then! The memory of Occhan is mine only! “……Buchou-san. Ise-san seems to be in a bad mood.”
“Asia. In times like this it is the best to leave him alone.”
Both of them seems like they are saying something, but who cares. What should I do with the feeling I have right now after I got my memory laughed at? I was walking down the road with a complicated feeling. Then I heard “that” nostalgic sound.
RING RING. ……! Then I looked at the direction where the sound came from. I knew that my eyes were fully opened because I got shocked. 10 years…… Yes 10 years.
RING RING. That was the bell of the start of the story. I saw a familiar man preparing for the show at the park I passed by.
“……!”
When I realised it, I was walking towards the direction of that man. It’s definitely him. That face. He looks much older but I’m not mistaking it!
“Is it you Occhan…….?”
I asked the middle aged man timidly. The man noticed me. He looks into my face for a while and then smiles at me.
“You are….. I see. I realised who you are right away. You have gotten big, boy.”
Ah…… He is…… He truly is.........!
