I’M Really Helpless In Tokyo

"Electricity, power restored?"

"Mobile phones and mobile phones have signals too!"

"Hurry up, contact the island as soon as possible..."

Looking down from a high altitude, the originally dark island of Hokkaido seems to have been "ignited" by the blooming light of this golden Buddha. With the densely lit lights of Hakodate's city center from near and far, it has restored the old days and nights. Ambilight...

"The snow has stopped...this light...good, so warm..."

The irresistible but silent firelight pierced the dark clouds covering the night sky, melted the black snow covering the earth, and evaporated the freezing air...

"The ghosts blocking the door are gone... I, we are, saved?!"

Countless figures hesitating in the dark also faded with the darkness, returning to the white dawn.

"I, why am I in a place like this... still wearing good-quality clothes..."

"Hi... Head hurts... Last night, did you drink too much?"

"My dear, you finally woke up... You suddenly became so long, so big, and your expression is so terrible... People can only use tortoiseshell bindings and tie you up with ropes, handcuffs and gags...Fee It took so many times to toss you so hard."

Those "monsters" wandering on the streets and wandering around have also faded their hideous features under the sun, and their eyes are renewed with a light called "humanity".

Even the cold and moldy smell that is everywhere because of the heavy snowfall has turned into the "sun fragrance" that is warm and fragrant after the quilt has been exposed to the sun.

"Thank the Buddha for showing the spirit... for the people..."

"Heaven is in the sky, I am the only one who has no Amitabha!"

"Is it true that there will be no retribution for my Buddha's slogan?"

"You, you care about me, in short, starting from today, I will believe in this Buddha for the rest of my life!"

Regardless of whether you "believe" in your heart, being in the dark and your heart toward the light is an indelible desire in human instinct.

"Wait, that Buddha, is missing?!"

As everyone recovered from this earth-shaking change, they ran into the warm sun, headed towards the sky over Hakodate, and tremblingly worshipped...

The golden giant Buddha with the light of Buddhism has long disappeared into the light like a mirage...

Above the cloudless clear sky, where the Golden Buddha was originally, there was only a round of rising sun that did not know when to rise from below the sea level.

Its daybreak.

...

Goryokaku, inside the castle.

"You can actually lead the Buddha to descend into the world...Where is the sacred fellow Sosuke Araki?"

Weak and fell to the ground, Mochizuki squinted her eyes sore that she was sore, and stared blankly at the newborn sun above her head.

"How do I know... if you insist, that guy, it should be the sun... illuminates everything, the sun..."

Takumi Fujiwara, who was also unable to move beside him, pretended to rest his head with his hands in a leisurely manner, and closed his eyes to enjoy the sunshine that made him feel extremely kind.

"The sun that illuminates everything..."

Muttering this word, Mochizuki thought thoughtfully.

"Then, can he also disperse the darkness covering Mochizuki's head... Uh!"

Before the words fell, a circular object fell sharply from the air and hit Wangyueche's forehead severely.

"Huh? This is..."

Ignoring Mochizuki Che, whose eyes were turned white and his forehead bulged, Fujiwara Takumi endured the tingling pain in his whole body, and excitedly reached out and picked up the "kill weapon" that fell from the sky...

"Yasaka Qiongquyu...great... if you lose it, your crying kid will not be able to ascend the throne from now on..."

This is a simple and simple gou jade with a "C" shape that is rising in heat.

"Yo, Mr. Kang, Captain Mochizuki..."

Just as Fujiwara Takumi took the lost artifact into his crotch, a figure emerged from the flame-cracked void and appeared behind the two.

"The straight ball that you two rubbed together, I caught it steadily."

...

"what time is it now?"

On the roof of the Hakodate Municipal General Hospital, Yu Mayumi Kotori withdrew his gaze from the rising sun in the sky and looked at the members of the Disaster Prevention Mobility Team who knelt down beside him.

"Report, it's four o'clock in the morning Tokyo time... the concentration of grievance has returned to normal!"

One of the team members looked at the detector on their wrist and replied.

"That said, the sunrise is actually an hour ahead of schedule? By the way..."

For a moment, the girl cast a dazed gaze into the city below...

"Boom boom boom boom!"

At the end of the street where pedestrians stepped out and gradually regained their vitality, a black locomotive that was as fast as lightning, with a terrible sound wave that "woke everything up", came from far and near from the direction of Goryokaku.

On the back of the locomotive, like "Asan style overload", three men were seated tightly...

The man in the front of the car seemed to be a little disgusted because of the crowded driving environment.

A thin and strong two men fold behind him, they are exhausted and unable to move weak...

Although their pale faces had the big words "reluctant" written on them, they could only be like livestock to be slaughtered, tied tightly and naked by leather belts and fastened to the back seat of the car.

"Mr. Araki... you have worked hard, welcome back."

The girl squinted her eyes into crescent crescents, and bowed slightly towards the locomotive that was getting closer.

"Oh Mayumi, I'm back."

As the green knot on her pony tail flickered, the man's extremely reassuring voice sounded in her mind.

In the morning sun, the brightly lit city of Hakodate has restored its vigorous appearance before the snowstorm.

Only a messy city is left, silently telling everything that has happened.

...

A few hours later.

"Dear students, please pack away your belongings. We will end our school trip and take the first Shinkansen train back to Tokyo in the afternoon..."

"When you are reporting your safety to your family, don't forget to tell them that after returning to Tokyo, you will receive a five-day fully enclosed ‘post-disaster psychological counseling’."

In front of the Hakodate Municipal General Hospital, two rejuvenated female teachers are organizing high school students in Class 3 and 3 to carry their luggage onto another bus.

"Great, although it's a pity not to go to Sapporo and Otaru, but life matters..."

"So, we can't tell anyone about the things we saw along the way, right?"

"Of course, haven't you heard of it? Not only do you have to sign a confidentiality agreement when you go back, you also have to receive training and psychological counseling."

While carrying their luggage, the high school students couldn't help turning their heads and glanced at the corner of the parking lot with complicated eyes. The dilapidated white bus with a dent in the face still remained on the door.

Perhaps, everything they have experienced on this bus will be a wonderful memory they will never forget in their lifetime.
