Forty years ago, Tokyo.
The snow has fallen particularly hard this winter. Even if you are sitting in a room with a stove, you can still feel the cold air coming from outside.
[The head of the Karasuma family comes to visit grandpa again. 】
【This is already the second time. 】
Wearing her iconic pure black kimono and a wooden hairpin, Keiko Hatoyama sat upright at the table, with a rare serious look on her face. She was holding a pen in her hand and writing in her notebook. With.
Due to her poor health since she was a child, she has developed the habit of writing diaries since she was a child. By reviewing the words fixed on the paper, she can feel that every day of her life has not been wasted.
[He still wants to drag Grandpa and the Hatoyama family into his crazy plan. 】
【eternal life. 】
Hatoyama Keiko lowered her head, her eyes just looking at the word she wrote down quietly. No one knew what she was really thinking at this time.
The tip of the pen paused for a long time after these two words. It wasn't until the ink soaked into a large black spot on the paper that she slowly started writing again.
[It is a Pandora's box that must not be opened. 】
[Even I can easily imagine what an earth-shaking impact the realization of eternal life will have on this world, which will surely surpass all of human history. 】
[Moreover, this change will never be positive. 】
[I consider myself not a compassionate saint, nor do I have the brilliance of humanity that shines to the extreme like Hong Su and Big Rabbit. 】
[I am just speaking from the perspective of an ordinary human being who has normal views and hopes that the world can become a better place. I don’t want to see that kind of hellish scene really come to the world. 】
[Karasuma Renya is not joking. 】
Writing this, Keiko Hatoyama recalled the last time Karasuma Renya came to visit Mr. Hatoyama.
That time, she was there too.
After all, she is the only granddaughter of Mr. Hatoyama, and the Hatoyama family is one of the largest families in Tokyo. Among the other major families, her physical condition is really unknown.
Karasuma Renye also aimed at this point, thinking that he could bring the Hatoyama family into his plan.
If there is assistance from Mr. Hatoyama, who controls both the Japanese public security and the Japanese police, Karasuma Renye's actions in Japan will be much easier.
And he almost succeeded.
During his last visit, Mr. Hatoyama was almost moved by what he said. If Keiko Hatoyama hadn't sternly refused at the end, I'm afraid...
However, despite this, Renye Karasuma also saw the wavering of Mr. Hatoyama, which is why he paid his second visit today.
[This person has the purest and ultimate desire, as well as a powerful power of action that ordinary people can't imagine. 】
This is Keiko Hatoyama’s evaluation of Renya Karasuma.
[The topic of immortality would only be regarded as a joke or an unrealistic fantasy by others, but this man is different. I can clearly see it in his eyes. 】
[He is not lying or deceiving himself. He believes in what he said and believes that he will eventually achieve this goal. 】
[The will will be strong and unmoved by external things. How great would it be if you could use all of this on the right path? 】
Keiko Hatoyama sighed lightly, shook her head, and continued writing in her notebook.
[After Karasuma Renye’s last visit, I suggested to my grandfather more than once that no matter what the reason was, we must find a way to arrest and control this man as soon as possible. 】
[I have a hunch that this person is extraordinary. Regardless of whether he can achieve his desired goal in the end, he will definitely have a profound negative impact on the world in the process. 】
[It’s just that every time, grandpa didn’t respond directly to my proposal...]
Writing this, Keiko Hatoyama looked helpless.
[I can actually feel that grandpa is really interested in Karasuma Renye’s plan. If I hadn’t stopped all this at the end last time, I’m afraid grandpa would have already agreed to this person. 】
[What makes me even more helpless is that grandpa is not doing it for himself. He has never been a persistent person in this regard. Grandpa is doing it for me. 】
[This is often the case in the world. We can see clearly about our own problems, but we always make mistakes about the people we care about. 】
[Am I the kind of person who is greedy for life? 】
Suddenly, the figure of the stubborn little boy with purple pupils suddenly appeared in Hatoyama Keiko's mind.
It doesn't seem right to call him a little boy, after all, she is only one year older than him.
[My life is like a mayfly, but fortunately, all the people I care about also have their own concerns, and they are not only focused on me. 】
[Even if I die, they will only grieve for a period of time and then continue to move forward along their own paths in life. They will not have unnecessary obsessions because of my premature departure. 】
[But Grandpa doesn’t understand this. Even the most intelligent people will make mistakes on this issue. 】
[I have tried my best to prevent this. I can only pray that grandpa will not go to another road...]
[The matter of Karasuma Renye still needs long-term consideration. 】
"Miss, Miss Karasuma has arrived."
I don't know what coincidence, Hatoyama Keiko had just finished writing this sentence, when the old housekeeper's voice came from outside the door.
She looked up and saw two figures, one large and one small, outside the shoji door.
Except for the figure of the old housekeeper whom she was very familiar with, the other slender figure was obviously the young lady from the Karasuma family.
Hatoyama Keiko had some impressions of this little girl. They had met once when they were very young. The unique facial features of this little Karasuma at that time made Hatoyama Keiko remember the appearance of a foreigner for the first time. .
[It came so quickly...]
Hatoyama Keiko did not immediately respond to the old housekeeper, but quickly put away the diary, stood up and ran to a corner of the room, opened the door of the compartment where she usually kept books, stuffed the diary in, and then Quickly ran back to the seat.
【This is not okay! 】
But just halfway through, she suddenly stopped, raised her hand and slapped her forehead, then turned back and ran to the compartment, casually took out a book, and finally sat back in the chair in a hurry. .
Finally, she simply tidied up the somewhat messy kimono on her body and straightened the hairpin on her head. Hatoyama Keiko opened it and assumed a pose she thought was appropriate, looking like a quiet lady.
Everything is perfect.
Except for herself, no one noticed that the book in her hand was overturned.
"Well, please come in."
Just like that, Hatoyama Keiko finally spoke and let the two people who had been waiting outside the room come in.
"Whoosh."
As the shoji door was opened by the old butler, the heat that had finally accumulated in the room was instantly released.
The yard was already covered with thick snow, and on the walkway outside the room was a little girl with rare silver hair.
The little girl's facial features were very delicate and three-dimensional. She seemed to be very curious and not very courageous. Her eyes kept wandering around Hatoyama Keiko's body, as if she was sizing her up.
Hatoyama Keiko gave her enough time to be curious. It wasn't until all the heat in the room had dissipated that she finally said:
"Why don't you come in? The little sister of the Karasuma family who has come all the way?"
(˙ー˙)This is the first meeting from Keiko’s perspective.
Sure enough, this is where the dream begins...
Of course, it’s a nightmare~
