Miyagi Shin took a bus back home. The elderly man walked for a while and stopped for a while, and did not arrive at his village until dark.

However, Miyagi Shin did not return to his small house immediately, but came to a temporary residence next to the existing house. Before going to Tokyo, he placed Miyagi Satoshi's wife Tokina here.

After straightening his coat, the old man walked in with a cane, but the moment he opened the door, he saw Miyagi Tokina talking to a young man.

The young man looked a little strange, he was wearing a black coat, and his hair was long enough to reach his waist. When he heard the sound, he turned around, staring at him with one red eye and one green eye. The old man felt that he looked a little familiar, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly remembered that he had seen him at the door of Scepter 4.

At that time, the old man was anxious to see his children and did not pay much attention to Hinata Sou who was leaving.

"Father, you're back!" Miyagi Tokina stood up quickly, "How are you? Are you tired? Come in and sit down."

"No, I'm not tired." The old man waved his hand quickly. He was not familiar with the woman who claimed to be his daughter-in-law. It was the first time they met when she came, so of course it was impossible for them to be intimate.

The old man walked up to Hinata Hajime and said, "Um, sir, you are..."

"Hello, my name is Hinata Hajime." Hinata Hajime stood up, he smiled and stretched out his hand to Miyagi Fuka, "Hello, I'm a detective who came here to handle a case. I happened to come here to investigate."

The old man remembered that Hinata Hajime left Scepter 4, and saw the police ID that Hinata Hajime took out. The old man, who had not left this small village for many years and was somewhat out of tune with the outside world, did not notice anything wrong, and he quickly believed that Hinata Hajime was a policeman.

"It turns out to be the police officer." The old man quickly held Hinata Hajime's hand with his skinny hand, "Welcome, welcome. May I ask what you are here to investigate, police officer?"

"It's like this. Some of the information about your child, Miyagi Satoshi's case, is a little vague, so I was ordered to re-record the statement." Hinata Hajime said apologetically, "Although you may have already confessed some information in Tokyo, according to the rules, I still need to ask again."

"Of course, no problem." The old man smiled kindly to show his understanding. "When I was young, I also had to ask many times when doing carpentry for others, for fear that I would forget."

"Sometimes I make mistakes by mistake. People with good tempers will accept it, but people with bad tempers will not only not give me money, but also scold me, so all my efforts and materials are wasted."

Hinata Sou let out a long sigh, "It's great that you understand."

"Then could you please tell me about Miyagi Satoshi?"

"Of course no problem." The old man was helped to sit on a chair, and he began to talk about what happened in the past, with Hinata Hajime listening beside him.

In the eyes of Miyagi Shin, Miyagi Satoshi was an exceptionally good child when he was young.

He always ranks first in exams and is good at all kinds of interesting handicrafts. He makes lots of small toys for himself using the waste materials left over from Miyagi Fuka's carpentry work. He also brings them to school to share with his classmates. Everyone in the school likes him.

Until Miyagi Satoshi's mother died of illness.

Miyagi Satoshi had a very good relationship with his mother. After his mother passed away, he could not get over it and was sad every day. As a result, his academic performance declined and he became depressed. Later, he dropped out of school to support himself.

At that time, Miyagi Satoshi said: Traditional skills such as carpentry have been abandoned by the times, and today's society requires more flexible means. He said that he could use other methods to support himself and also support the aging Miyagi Shin.

"The world is developing too fast, and everything is changing. I didn't understand it at the time." The old man sighed, "What would have happened if I had believed him at the time?"

"I always believed he was a very good kid and a good person."

Hinata Hajime looked at the old man, and after a moment he spoke, "But, haven't you seen each other for more than ten years? Many things may go wrong due to the effect of time."

The old man's expression changed, and after a moment he shook his head, "He was a good boy when he was young, I know."

"He is my son and I know him."

[He must be the Despair Host.] Hinata Hajime looked at the old man, his eyes full of calmness.

【An old man who has always lived in the past.】

In the old man's mind, his son is still living in the past. He is the good boy who had a good relationship with his mother and would say he was filial to him. This good boy has been gone for more than ten years, but the child in the old man's heart has always been the same and has never changed.

When the people in the village heard that Miyagi Satoshi was wanted, they all concealed the news out of fear that he would not be able to accept it.

However, this matter was still known because of the arrival of Miyagi Tokina.

How could a woman who remarried with a child, a woman who, according to Sakura, could fight with Miyagi Satoshi, run to this village to seek justice from the old man just because of a little grievance?

The reason she came was very simple, she wanted to divorce Miyagi Satoshi and get mental damages from the old man.

The quarrel heard by the neighbors was not because the old man could not accept the facts, but because Miyagi Tokina was lying.

At that moment, the old man's image of his son collapsed instantly.

His filial and gentle son was gone, and his well-behaved and docile daughter-in-law was also shattered. The reality before him made the old man want to just close his eyes and leave.

This is despair.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore." Hinata Hajime smiled warmly, "I'll come visit you again if you have any questions."

"No problem." The kind old man and the gentle woman sent Hinata Hajime out. Sakura hid at the door and waved to Hinata Hajime. They looked like such a warm and beautiful family.

Hinata Hajime turned around, the smile on his face faded instantly, and there was a hint of indifference in his red left eye.

[It’s not easy.]

[It's easy to handle.] Kamukura Izuru refuted Hinata Hajime, [There are many ways to deal with this problem.]

[But, he would be sad if he did that.] Hinata Hajime answered helplessly: [An old man living in the past suddenly faced a reality different from what he imagined. He was bound by the fragment of despair without being able to do anything. Then the fragment of despair reshaped the reality of his dream.]

[If this illusion is shattered directly, the old man will collapse. ]

Kamiya Izuru said something irresponsible, "This is your problem."

[Why is this happening…] Hinata Hajime made a helpless sound like a kitten.

[After the collapse of Miyagi Shin, Cherry-chan has no definite direct relatives, so it will be easier for you to adopt her.] Kamukura Izuru once again said terrible words.

Hinata Hajime grabbed his hair, [That's not right! Our goal is the Fragment of Despair, not the Little Cherry! ]

【I see you like her very much. 】

[Then I can't take a little girl with me.] Hinata Sou said: [Let's not talk about my amnesia now. I can't even remember what kind of person I was before. Not to mention that I'm not from this world. I just wanted to protect her for a while and then hand her over to Houmaira or Scepter 4 to deal with the aftermath.]

[Besides, I won't just keep someone around without your consent, right? ]

Kamuzuru Izuru responded calmly, "It's okay even if you don't discuss it with me."

"Do you really mean that?"

"Because I like what you like, too." Kamiya Izuru's voice was even, and although he said he liked it, there was no expression of liking it at all, "We are one person."

Hinata Hajime listened to what Kamijou Izuru said, he stroked his chin and nodded.

Then he said something that caught even Kamukura Izuru off guard.

"You like me, right? Because you like me, you think you will like the things I like, too."

Kamizuru Izuru: ...

"I'm just kidding." Hinata Sou nodded calmly, "Anyway, I'll think of other ways. Deru is not allowed to make weird suggestions."

Kamijou Izuru tilted his head in the spiritual space, and his long black hair fell to the ground.

He wondered: Who on earth is saying such strange things?

…

On the way back to the hotel, Jutsu Tadara just heard that Miyagi Fuka had returned and was preparing to leave. After Hinata Sou came back, he immediately asked him how he was doing.

Hinata Hajime told him the general idea.

"So, the old man picked up your fragments, and because he was a good man, he turned everyone around him into good people as well?"

"That's right." Hinata Hajime sat on the chair, "But now, the old man thinks it's a very good thing whether his son or daughter-in-law becomes a good person. As long as he doesn't give up on his own initiative, I can't get the fragment back. But if I force him, he might be very sad."

"I always feel it's not nice to make an old man sad."

Juzuka Tadara leaned against the door and nodded, "Let me try."

"Hmm?"

"Because I really want to learn carpentry. I'm really interested in this. Maybe there will be unexpected surprises." Jutsu Tadara said goodbye to Hinata Sou with a smile, and then left the hotel very happily. Hinata Sou walked to the window and saw him running outside.

He does seem to be in a good mood.

Speaking of which, Totoro Jutsu has always had a wide range of interests. He wants to try out any new things, and making something for Anna by himself is indeed something he can do.

After running all the way to Miyagi Shin's house, Jutsu Tadara started ringing the doorbell. The old man who had just returned home came out with a strange look on his face, and then he saw the young man who waved at him with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Miyagi!" Jutsu Tadoro bowed, "Please teach me to become a carpenter!"

"Eh?" Miyagi looked at Jutsu Tadara blankly, "Young man, you... ah, by the way, it seems that someone in the village told me before that there is a young man who is going to learn from me."

"Yes, that person is me!" Jushu Duoduoliang said quickly: "What do you think of me? It doesn't matter how much the tuition is, just teach me how to make things."

Old man Miyagi was a little overwhelmed by Totsuka Tadoroki's enthusiasm, and he walked out of the door with a cane.

"What's your name, young man?"

"Totoro, Totoro Totoro." Totoro Totoro said, "I'm from Tokyo."

"Tokyo is not close to here." The old man sighed, "Then why did you become a carpenter? You in Tokyo should know that this is already obsolete, right? It seems that you young people like the new trend of modernization and don't care much about this."

Jutsuka Tadara smiled and said, "Because it's an agreement."

"Agreed?"

"Yes, it's an agreement with sister Anna." Jushu Duoduoliang said, "When sister Anna had her birthday, I said that I would give her a princess bed that I made by myself for her birthday next year. The bed must be very beautiful and filled with dolls that I gave her."

The old man nodded. "It's a very good birthday present."

"In fact, I have thought about going to the factory to order one, pretending it was made by me, and then giving it to sister Anna." Jushu Duoduoliang said, "I have even placed an order."

"Because I was very unconfident and thought that what I made must be ugly and that Anna would not like it, I thought about making a better one."

"It's not good to deceive others, young man," said the old man.

Jutsu Tado nodded, "Yes, I think it's not good either, that's why I came here to study."

"After your guidance, I will definitely make a satisfactory princess bed." Jushu Tadara said with a smile: "Real is real, fake is fake. No matter how good and perfect the one customized by the factory is, it is not the one I made. I will never use it to deceive sister Anna."

"Well said." The old man nodded, with praise in his voice, "I like young men like you."

"I'm so sorry." Jutsu Tadara grabbed her hair, "Mr. Miyagi, please don't tell anyone that I wanted to use a fake one to deceive Anna."

"Of course……"

Miyagi Shin blinked and suddenly remembered something.

"Mr. Miyagi?"

"No, nothing."

Miyagi lowered his head and was silent for a moment before he spoke again, "Come with me first."

"...I promise to make you the most perfect princess bed as a birthday gift."
