I, who tortured the readers, was knocked to the ground by them!

Chapter 83 If That Day
[Takaki-san, I'm really happy that you can come to my station. It's a long journey, so please be careful.]

【I will wait for you in the waiting room at 7pm. 】

【I'm really looking forward to meeting you. 】

Recalling the agreement between Mingli and him in the reply letter, Takaki walked through the station while looking at the transfer notes he had made in advance.

Snow began to fall from the sky.

Takaki's mind flashed back to the memories of the two of them talking about how there was always little snow in Tokyo.

An expectant smile appeared on his face.

After a year, I can hear her voice again and watch the snow with her again.

Yuki Mizuno turned to the second page of the comic and couldn't help but smile.

Although the two were still young, their conditions were very poor in terms of money, experience, and other aspects. In that era, they did not even have a telephone for real-time communication and could only make agreements in letters.

But the boy still wanted to see her, and with the plan he had made countless times, he mustered up the courage on a snowy day to cross the distance and meet the girl he had missed for a year.

"It's great," Yuki Mizuno couldn't help but murmured, and turned to the next page.

Yuki Mizuno frowned slightly, realizing that something was wrong.

The narrator in the picture continued to read the contents of their letters, which did not involve love at all but were full of heart-throbs.

However, the station broadcast a notice: [Due to the need to meet the express line, this station will stop for four minutes].

Next page.

【The final destination, Omiya Station.】

【Please note that due to heavy snow, the train from Oyama to Utsunomiya Line is delayed by 8 minutes.】

The smile on Mizuno Yuki's face slowly disappeared.

Isn't this one of those classic plots where they make a promise but never meet? Isn't that a bit too cliché?

Obviously the previous stories were so touching, but please don't write a plot that forces regrets just for the sake of regrets.

That's such a waste.
Moreover, she really hoped that Akari, Takaki and the others could actually meet.

At least in the virtual world, don't let them have the same regrets as I did.
[This train will arrive at the station ten minutes later due to snowfall.]

We sincerely apologize for the train delay.

[Due to the delay of the following train, this train will stop at this station for ten minutes.]

Each page contains, apart from the contents of Mingli's letters filled with the youthful days, the rest of the things are delayed one after another.

Mizuno Yuki's heart tightened as she watched, and she couldn't help but vent her anger on the tram, muttering, "What kind of rotten tram is this?"

Turn to the next page.

The clock on the tram platform showed that it was almost 8 o'clock.

According to the agreed time, Guishu was already late.

Guishu couldn't help but run in the station.

However, the Japanese drama "Running Man" that always caused miracles in film and television dramas in the past was greeted with "This train will temporarily stop due to delays" this time.

Guishu lowered his head dejectedly, stroking the love letter in his hand, every word of which was numbered countless times.

The three words "Zhi Ming Li" above no longer seem as sweet as before.

Another change of train.

When Guishu was taking out his wallet from his pocket, he accidentally dropped the letter out of his pocket.

Then a cold wind blew and blew the love letter [to Mingli] away into the distance.

Guishu had no time to reach out and grab it.
"what"

Yuki Mizuno, who was sitting in front of the computer, looked at Takaki who was dejected on the tram and couldn't help but sigh uncomfortably.

This couple is so miserable, can they still be human?

Yuki Mizuno complained in her heart.

I couldn't help but think of the love letters I had secretly written many times but never sent before we parted.

Although the plot of being blown away by the wind is a bit too dramatic,
There are also people who did not encounter this wind, but still did not hand over the love letter.

As she thought about it, Yuki Mizuno continued to turn the pages.

[Due to snowfall, the departure schedule has been disrupted. Passengers, please wait a moment.] Another late delay information, but Mizuno Yuki was already a little numb and her attention was not on the delay news at all.

Takaki got off the bus and finally arrived at the station.

But he no longer had the desire to run, and just walked towards the agreed waiting room in a daze.

He no longer had any expectations, because the clock hanging above the station showed it was already half past two.

He was already seven and a half hours late.

The entire station was empty, with only the sound of wind and snow and his own breathing.

Yuki Mizuno, who felt the same way, was also heartbroken at this moment.

No, I really won’t meet him, right?
Yes, turn to the next page.

Guishu walked into the waiting room, only to find a solitary figure.

She had her head down, and after waiting for a long time, she was already drowsy.

Noticing Takaki's steps, she slowly looked up.

Looking at the figure that finally came into her sight, her face suddenly turned red and tears came out.

She finally waited for him.

Mingli reached out and grabbed the corner of Takaki's clothes and started crying.

"call"

Yuki Mizuno breathed a sigh of relief, her frown immediately relaxed, and a kind aunt's smile reappeared on her face.

It turned out that even though it was snowing heavily, the train was delayed again and again until late at night, when even the readers felt that Mingli would not wait for him anymore.

Mingli was still waiting for him at the agreed place.

It’s really surprising and touching!
This damn youthfulness and ignorance are so touching!

So, the previous delayed plots were all for the purpose of suppressing the audience first and then promoting the audience.
Teacher Sakura Fujiyoshi is amazing! She has captured the reader's emotions perfectly.

She almost thought that the story would be forced to be cut.

However, the only thing that still makes people concerned is the love letter that was dropped before.
The waiting room in the picture.

Guishu held the hot tea and praised: "It's delicious."

Mingli had already wiped away her tears and said, "It's just ordinary roasted tea!"

The two sat far apart in the waiting room, chatting about things that had nothing to do with the "love letter".

Mingli opened the bento box very considerately and said with a blushing face, "I made this myself. I can't guarantee the taste, but if you don't mind, you can have a try."

"Thank you, I'm really hungry now." Takaki blushed and took Mingli's lunch box.

The meeting between Takaki and Akari was not like the passionate, tearful hug after a long separation in movies and TV dramas.

Both of them seemed nervous and reserved.

But that’s the taste!

If it were really grand, it would lose such a pure feeling.

She felt more and more that Teacher Sakurato Yozu was really amazing. It was obviously a simple story with a similar plot that many people had experienced in real life, so why was it so deeply rooted in people's hearts?
She carefully read every word and even every punctuation mark in the comic, feeling the throbbing hidden beneath the warmth.

Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the story and the nostalgia that belongs only to your own memories.

A long time ago, there was a city with heavy snow.

There is also heavy snow in winter.

At that time, he and she often played in the snow. She would deliberately roll up a snowball and throw it hard at the guy who always had an unhappy look on his face.

Then she smiled at him, "Come and have a snowball fight, you picky eater who won't eat fish!"

Then he would say dissatisfied words like "boring, childish" and then pick up some snow and throw it at you.

And then. Then.

What if, on the day of moving, I didn't take the initiative to quarrel with him, but told him nicely that I hope he will come to see me.

If I had put the love letter that I had scribbled and revised all night into an envelope and handed it to him, would the situation have been different?

If I really had the courage, I would take the ten-hour train ride from Osaka to see him like Takaki did before he moved.

Will he sit quietly in the waiting room waiting for me like Mingli did?
