094, what are you holding in your mind all day long...
....
Chat freely,
After watching TV for a while,
A plate of cantaloupe was destroyed unconsciously,
The topic returned to Naoki Nagayama at this time,
"What are Naoki-san doing recently?" Akina asked, "Are you promoting a novel?"
"The matter of publishing the novel has basically been handed over to the publishing house."
Speaking of which, there seems to have been a phone call before saying that sales were very good and the publisher was planning to print more copies.
"Speaking of novels, that's what I came here for today, right? Did you see the yard downstairs? Are the cosmos flowers blooming?"
"Eh? Are you downstairs? Didn't you see it?" Mingsui said quickly, "We came in through the gate. There seemed to be tall buildings and shops on both sides."
The door of the apartment is against the road, and the old house is behind the apartment, so the two of them did not see it.
"That's right, it's true. The old house and the yard are behind the apartment." Nagayama Naoki led the two of them to the balcony, "You can see it from here even if you don't use the tape."
Looking down from the third floor, there is an old one-family house among several big trees. The yard is surrounded by a low fence. Clusters of cosmos in the yard are swaying in the breeze and are colorful.
"Ah~ so beautiful~"
After seeing it, the two little girls exclaimed, "Is that house the old house in Naoki-san's novel?"
"It can be considered one of the prototypes. To be precise, the house in the novel is a combination of many fragments from memory." Naoki Nagayama did not lie. It is indeed a fragment from "memory".
"Is there really an old man living in that house?" Akina asked.
"There lives an old man named Nagai Tadahiro, but I'm not familiar with him." In fact, it was just a friendship of nodding when we met.
"How can you write such a touching story even if you are not familiar with it?" Mingsui wondered, "Obviously the details of life written in the novel seem to be real. Could it be that Naoki-san is stealing here... Hmm~
Uh-huh~"
Xiao Mingcai next to her covered Mingsui's mouth: "Private Marseille, Mingsui means observation, observation!"
"What have you been thinking about all day long..." Naoki Nagayama patted the two of them on the head, "Writing a novel is just about having an idea and then relying on your own imagination. What are the details in it?
It is created based on previous memories, but not all of it is true."
"Hi hi~" x2
"What about the three little kids?"
"Those three children are elementary school students from nearby. Their real names are Kazuya Haruyama, Eda Haraue, and Shi Akita."
"Hey, does it really exist? Who is Mr. Cucumber?" Akina Nakamori asked curiously,
I don’t know why Xiao Mingna is so interested in this character, “…it’s a slightly taller Eda, and he’s not as good as Cucumber-kun. It’s just an exaggeration in the novel~”
"Eh..." He looked a little disappointed.
...
After several people watched on the balcony for a while, they returned to the living room.
"Come and take a closer look when you go down. I can take pictures for you." Naoki Nagayama bought a camera when he occasionally went to the mall.
Having money is so casual!
"Arigado" x2
Nakamori Akina obviously has not forgotten the previous conversation: "Naoki-san said he didn't worry about novels anymore, so what are you doing now?"
"I've been filming a movie recently~"
"Eh? A movie? Has it been released? What's it called?"
Although they knew that Naoki-san in front of them had been an advertising artist and had also made short films, the two little girls were still surprised by the idea of making a movie. That is what a real star would do.
"It's a horror movie. It's called "Record of Ghosts". It's currently only available in some theaters. If Akina-san and Akisu-san are not afraid, you can go and watch it."
"Is it a horror movie?" Although I'm a little scared to watch it, it stars Naoki-san after all. "We will definitely watch it."
Xiaopangcai made such a guarantee.
Then we talked about some interesting things while filming the movie, which satisfied the curiosity of the two little ones.
It was afternoon and the two of them were ready to say goodbye.
After all, it's not the kind of intimacy where you can stay in each other's home all the time.
Akina is the older sister after all: "Naoki-san, thank you very much for the reception today, but it's getting late, we probably have to go back~"
"Stop talking like that. What are your plans for the afternoon? Do you want to take you to the mall?"
"Arigado, Akiho and I plan to go to Sensoji Temple this afternoon."
“Sensoji Temple, the snacks there are delicious~”
Especially barbecue, it seems to be more fragrant when grilled near the Buddha...
Naoki Nagayama didn't give much advice. After watching the two of them tidy up, they walked down together with their cameras to take pictures.
The old house at the back was still very quiet. The old man seemed to have not seen it for a long time. The cosmos in the yard still bloomed with vibrant colors even when left unattended.
"Ming Cai-san, Ming Sui-san, come and see."
Standing outside the fence, Naoki Nagayama saw the cosmos flowers in the garden and immediately called the two little girls behind him.
Several people stood in a row, holding on to the fence like children, admiring the colorful flowers in the yard. Looking closer, the cosmos blossomed like small sunflowers, smiling towards the sky.
"It's so beautiful~"
Nagayama Naoki stood back a little, then raised the camera,
"Mingcai-san, Mingsui-san, look here!"
There was a click, and the two little girls looking at the flowers were frozen in the picture.
Then he changed several angles and took pictures of the blooming garden and the two smiling people.
The weather is nice, the pictures are beautiful, and the smiles are bright...
"The photos will be sent to you after they are developed~"
"Hi, Arigado~"
...
Looking at the two little girls slowly walking away,
Nagayama Naoki also returned to the room on the third floor,
The fruit plate on the table is a reminder of the pleasant chat before.
The aroma of mapo tofu is still faintly coming from the kitchen.
The open balcony also reminds the few people who stood here before to enjoy the scenery.
The lively atmosphere suddenly changed back to the deserted small apartment, which suddenly seemed a little uncomfortable.
"Lonely...?"
People who live alone will always be inadvertently flooded with such little emotions.
Nagayama Naoki tidied up the house, put away the camera, and took care of the pots of green plants he had planted before.
The emotion has almost dissipated.
Turn on the radio and lie on the sofa in the living room,
I plan to spend an afternoon quietly listening to music like before...
An introduction from a DJ came over the radio,
"Next, let's listen to Miyuki Nakajima's ninth chapter single - "ひとりGetting Started" (Getting Used to Loneliness)"
Naoki Nagayama passed away,
Miyuki Mitsuru's characteristic voice when she came to the recording station:
The home I return to is
The street corner where your voice can be heard
Struck by the winter rain (Ninfuyuten's rain spot)
