Chapter 459: Obon

Miyazaki Ryui returned home after working overtime and was straight away shocked when he turned on the lights. Matsui Natsuki was sitting alone and silently on top of the sofa in the living room.

“You don’t watch TV, turn on the lights too! I was almost not scared to death by you.” Miyazaki Ryui said bluntly.

Matsui Natsuki raised her head with “despondent” written all over her face and looked at him. She didn’t say anything and couldn’t help but sigh.

Miyazaki Ryui looked at her depressed look, suddenly laughed out and said: “What’s wrong? Can’t it be that you met a handsome guy who took the initiative to hit on you, but you didn’t expect that one to be looking for you to make that kind of movie?”

“That’s right, it’s really true.” Natsuki Matsui said breathlessly.

Miyazaki Ryui had originally said it casually, but he didn’t expect that he had really gotten it right. He sat down next to Matsui Natsuki and said in relief, “You’ve only been here for a short while, it’s normal that you’re not used to it.

When you’ve been in Tokyo for a long time, you’ll slowly get used to it. Quite a few handsome men who actively seek out women to talk to them will either lure you into making that one kind of movie, or lure you into a related job within a custom store.

There are a lot of them in Shibuya and Shinjuku. The men who specialize in this kind of work are also nicknamed Black Swan.

They often lure women with deceptive smiles under the guise of earning a high salary, and earn a commission based on the degree of a woman’s looks.

Many women fall into it because they are confused or in desperate need of money. Once fallen, it is difficult to climb out of the dark abyss.

If you encounter such people again, just ignore them. They won’t keep pestering you endlessly. Don’t just yell at them or something, or you’ll get your ass kicked.

In Japan, there is a yakuza behind this business. On top of that, not only are there only men, but there are also women who engage in such work as well.”

“How do you know so well?” Matsui Natsuki asked curiously.

“It’s all things that the chairman and I talked about in the middle of drinking in the past. Our chairman’s social background and connections are particularly complicated, so he knows a lot about the dark side of society that we don’t even know about.” Miyazaki Ryui had a word to say.

“Actually, the thing I’m depressed about isn’t because of this one thing. From a certain point of view, being able to be looked at is enough to show that I still have that little bit of femininity.

If I were really ugly, I wouldn’t have been accosted by others like that. What I’m depressed about is finding a job. I thought that Tokyo had a lot of job opportunities, but I didn’t realize that after submitting so many resumes, I didn’t even get a single call for an interview.” Matsui Natsuki said honestly.

“It’s a normal thing. Looking for a job, you need to take your time. Besides, this year is a glacial period of employment, and it’s just a bit more difficult than previous years.

You shouldn’t just focus on kindergarten teacher jobs, you should choose one that casts a wide net. Administrative jobs, sales jobs, and so on can also be pitched.” Miyazaki Ryui suggested.

Even though the words reached her mouth, Matsui Natsuki ended up not saying anything about asking for his help in finding a job. Even though she knew that it was a matter of lifting her hand for Miyazaki Ryui, she still didn’t say it.

She felt that she had already caused him enough trouble. It wouldn’t be reasonable for her to cause him any more trouble. The two of them had been boyfriend and girlfriend, but it was about ten years ago. He had already been very kind by letting himself live here for free. One certainly couldn’t give an inch.

“The Bon Festival is coming up. This time, do you plan to go back to your hometown?” Matsui Natsuki changed the topic.

Miyazaki Ryui didn’t answer right away. He hesitated. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to reunite with his family, but he still had work on his mind.

The Chairman had given such a big mess to himself to be in charge of, so how could he not do a good job? He also didn’t want to always be chastised at the top of the high-level meeting every Monday morning.

What was the point of staying in Tokyo by himself if he didn’t go back to his hometown, Aomori Prefecture, to see what was going on? After all, it was vacation.

In Japan, there are many people who leave their hometowns to work abroad, so it has become customary and customary for people to use the annual Obon period to go back to their hometowns for a reunion, which can be said to be a gathering of the ancestors and the living together.

The Bon Festival has been called the “Great National Migration” because many people from the cities go back to their hometowns.

It is called the “Great National Migration,” and it is said that the Bon Festival is a very important festival in Japan, as the major cities, such as Tokyo, become very quiet for a period of time, similar to the population movement that occurs in China during the Chinese New Year.

The Bon Festival is the second most important event in Japan after New Year’s Day (which the Japanese regard as New Year). From the Chinese custom, it seems as if they celebrate Qingming and Spring Festival together.

“What’s the problem?” Matsui Natsuki showed some incomprehension and said.

“No problem. At that time, I’ll go back to my hometown with you.” Miyazaki Ryui suddenly thought of taking the opportunity to release some pressure. This was also all for the sake of better unfolding work in the future.

“You’re counting this as a return to your hometown, while I’m not.” Matsui Natsuki said without emotion.

“Don’t you say it in such a miserable way. Those two sisters in my family would be good if they knew half as much as you do.” Miyazaki Ryui said bluntly.

“If you go back, the people inside the family must be very happy and can’t wait for you to go back earlier. As for me …… at the moment, I haven’t even landed a job yet.” Matsui Natsuki was once again sighing up and said.

Miyazaki Ryui knew that there was an established custom for people who left their hometowns to go out to work that was common all over the world. That was that there was a complete difference between those who did well going back to their hometowns and those who did not do as well going back to their hometowns.

In Japan, you still visit your relatives. In addition to that, friends and classmates will have gatherings as well. Of course, you can choose not to go.

Those who don’t go often become a topic of conversation and even a laughing stock. No matter what the party, often do not show up people are not well-mixed class.

Even if they are average, they will attend, but only because one is to have fun and catch up, and the other is that they may be able to get some useful information or something.

There’s no guarantee that you’ll be in your city someday. At that time, it was better to have a friend than not, after all, the other person was more familiar.

Miyazaki Ryui laughed to himself, “Other than my mom who wants to see me the most as a person, my two sisters, and those two children of my oldest sister, want to see not me the most as a person, but as my money.”

“Who let you have a big skill, today is not the same as in the past? If I were to have a blood brother like you, I wouldn’t be anxious, after all, I would have someone I could rely on.

You being the eldest son of the Miyazaki family, taking care of them more is both a part of your responsibility and their trust in you.” Matsui Natsuki said seriously.
