In the cherry blossom viewing area of Mount Fuji in Sakura City, a middle-aged man sat on a long chair in the rest area, still thinking about his trip to the sea a few days ago.
His name is Tanaka Tanigawa, a crew member of a private whaling boat in Japan. He is usually out at sea and rarely spends time on land with his wife and children.
These days, because of an incident on the ship, they were given a long vacation, so Tanaka Tanigawa brought his wife and son to the cherry blossom area of Sakura City to see the cherry blossoms.
But he couldn't forget what happened three days ago!
In the belly of that whale, there was something...something!
A hint of fear could not be concealed in Tanaka Tanigawa's eyes. He was in charge of cutting up the whale at that time, and he was also one of the first few people to discover that thing!
Tanaka Tanigawa has been in the industry for more than ten years, and this is the first time he has seen a monster coming out of a whale's belly!
After the monster emerged from the whale's belly, it brutally killed their five colleagues and then caused panic among the entire whaling ship.
The boss behind the scenes spent a huge price to catch the monster, which had a brilliant and beautiful blue-purple gem on its forehead.
The boss paid them a large sum of money to keep their mouths shut and told them not to tell anyone about what happened here. He also gave them a month's vacation and asked them to throw the body into the sea. Finally, they took the blue-purple gem and the monster's body away. Tanaka Tanigawa and several other colleagues threw the colleagues killed by the monster into the sea, falsely claiming that it was an accident.
Later he took a vacation, which is why Tanaka Tanigawa appeared in the scenic area.
That blue-purple gem and monster...what exactly are they? Could they be related to the Boston Port incident in the United States a few days ago?
"Dad, the cherry blossoms here are so beautiful!"
Just when Tanaka Tanigawa was worried, a childish voice interrupted his thoughts. Tanaka Tanigawa raised his head and looked at his eleven-year-old son with a smile on his face.
Tanaka Tanigawa's eleven-year-old son is his greatest pride. He chose to become a member of a whaling ship because he wanted to create an excellent environment for his son.
After all, whalers' salaries are quite high, and this profession is quite respectable in Japan.
The director of the Taichi Whale Museum in Japan once proudly told American reporters: Whaling is not a profession, but pride and history.
"What's wrong with you these days? You've been thinking about something since you got off the boat."
His wife walked over to Tanaka Tanigawa from a distance and gave him a reproachful look: "What on earth happened?"
Tanaka Tanigawa said angrily, "I've told you so many times, it's nothing, don't ask anymore!"
The wife seemed to know her husband's character and did not ask any further questions, but the concern in her eyes could not be erased.
The son had a great time playing, but the two adults were worried.
The day passed quickly, and the family of three took the bullet train back to their home, ready to end the day's hard work and take a rest.
However, when they arrived at the door, a beautiful piano sound suddenly rang out, and it seemed as if the sound of gurgling water was flowing out, and a feeling of seagulls singing between the water and the sky was transmitted to each of their hearts.
"Which neighbor is playing the piano? He plays really well."
Tanaka Tanigawa praised, then took out the key and opened the door of his house.
"Crack—"
Following the harsh sound of a wooden door sliding across the floor, what came into Tanaka Tanigawa's sight was a huge piano. In front of the piano, a wet man stood with his back to Tanaka Tanigawa, his fingertips sliding across the keys, and beautiful musical characters jumped out.
“You…who are you?!”
Tanaka Tanigawa became alert. A stranger appearing in his own home was of course a very terrifying thing!
But... he felt that the clothes this person was wearing seemed a little familiar.
The music gradually changed from cheerful and vast to low and boring. Along with a harsh and strange sound, the wet man sitting in front of the piano slowly turned around, revealing his pale face with water droplets flowing on the floor.
"impossible!!!"
The expression on Tanaka Tanigawa's face gradually changed from astonishment to fear: "I...I clearly threw you into the sea!!!"
The expression of the colleague in front of him gradually changed from calm to distorted, cheerful music gradually sounded, a pair of hands stretched out from somewhere, covering Tanaka Tanigawa's eyes, and the door seemed to be blown closed by the wind.
Hysterical screams emanated from the room, but no one on the street heard them.
Because the piano is still playing and the keys are still jumping with notes.
