Chapter 276 Time Capsule
"Don't say this."
Shaking his head and removing the topic from his hair, Yagi couldn't help asking, looking at Takahashi, whose temples were gray in front of him.
"By the way, Takahashi, you have been doing in the past twenty years. I have never heard of you since I graduated."
"I am not as amazing as Yagi. So far, I am just an ordinary section chief in the company. After getting married a few years ago, I even got a mortgage loan and worked hard to support my family every day."
"Speaking of this, why didn't you notify me when you got married? I thought our relationship was very good."
"I want to notify you, but I don't have your address at all. I asked someone to ask them and said you were transferred abroad. I thought you wouldn't come to participate in this class reunion."
"It's my fault. A few years ago, the club sent me abroad for development. I only returned to China in the past one or two years. Speaking of which, if my classmates had two years earlier, I might not be able to participate."
After slapping his bare forehead, Yagi said with a look of consciousness.
In the school auditorium.
Just as Takahashi and Yagi and others were communicating, they were on the podium.
The person in charge of the main itinerary of this reunion picked up the microphone and interrupted everyone's reminiscence.
"Okay, all the students, I'm very happy to be able to meet again after so long. However, please put the reminiscence aside for the time being, let's do today's highlight and dig out the time capsule buried in the school campus."
"Time Capsule, I've forgotten about this."
In the auditorium, Yagi said with emotion when he heard the reminder from the person in charge.
"Do you still remember what you put into the time capsule, Takahashi?"
"How can I remember this? Twenty years have passed."
The history of time capsules first appeared in the World Expo in 1939. Einstein, a world-renowned physicist, received a call from American President Roosevelt, hoping that he would write a letter to humans 5,000 years later as a gift to the New York World Expo, which will open the next year. It was from that World Expo that time capsules became the tradition of the World Expo.
At the 1970 Osaka World Expo, a spherical time capsule with an inner diameter of one meter was buried, which caused the popularity of time capsules in Japan at that time.
It was precisely because of this influence that Takahashi and his class of students would lay time capsules as a commemoration before graduation.
But when they buried the capsules at that time, they didn't expect that their group would return to school and dig out the capsules after twenty years.
Under the urging of the person in charge, everyone walked out of the auditorium in groups and came to the place where the Time Capsule was buried.
"You really remember where the capsule was buried."
"Speaking of this, thanks to the teacher, he reminded us that in order not to forget the location of the capsule, we deliberately buried it near the grove, otherwise we might not be able to find it."
Everyone in the class reunion was a little excited about the time capsule that was about to be dug out for twenty years.
They took the prepared shovel and started digging the soil with several strong classmates.
"Speaking of this, I have noticed you since just now, Takahashi..."
Standing in the crowd, Yagi couldn't help asking, looking at Takahashi, whose expression was absent-minded on his face.
"Why do I feel like you are looking for something? Is there a classmate you are looking forward to meeting who did not come to the class reunion?"
After all, twenty years have passed.
Naturally, it was impossible for all the students from the beginning to be there. In fact, there were a few students who could not attend today's class reunion for one reason or another.
Everyone is more or less sorry for this result.
"No, I just thought she was back?"
"She? Who?"
"Student Keiko Watanabe."
"Meiko Watanabe, are you talking about that person."
When Yagi heard the name that appeared in Takahashi's mouth, he was stunned for a moment, and then he scratched his bare forehead uncomfortable.
"Speaking of this, we did a bit too much at that time. Even from the current perspective, it would be a bit inappropriate to treat a female classmate like this."
"So, it is natural for Keiko Watanabe not to attend the class reunion. After all, the era of junior high school is not a very good memory for her."
Hearing Yagi's words, Takahashi's expression was a little silent.
"I really want to remember after hearing what you said. Just yesterday I really wanted to receive a call, which mentioned the class reunion. I originally thought that some classmate would stand up when I came to the class reunion today, but now it seems that this call is probably called by Keiko Watanabe, just..."
"You received the call, too?!"
Hearing Yagi's words, Takahashi couldn't help but be surprised.
Seeing him say this, Yagi immediately looked at Takahashi and said, "So, Takahashi, are you?"
Just as Takahashi and Yagi looked at each other, the conversation between two other female classmates came from behind them.
"What, Yamado classmate, you have always been in contact with Keiko Watanabe."
"Only, I would receive her phone call. Keiko Watanabe kept talking about her high school days on the phone. She remembered her actions clearly even after twenty years. Originally, I felt a little sorry when I heard the phone, but I was a little scared when she kept calling. Yesterday, she called and said that she was looking forward to it. I thought she would come, but the result was…"
"Fortunately, Keiko Watanabe did not come. Although we were isolated from her in junior high school, this also had something to do with her own gloomy personality. At that time, everyone was just teenagers, and they always subconsciously disliked that kind of guy with a weird personality..."
"And after you say that, it has been twenty years since she was still worried about the matter at that time, which is definitely abnormal."
“That’s right.”
Hearing the words of his classmate Akako, Yamado nodded in agreement.
Bang!
"Finally dug it."
Just as they were talking, the students who were responsible for digging time capsules in front finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped their sweaty heads, and looked at the pit one person tall beside them.
"I don't know what we thought at that time, but we buried the time capsule so deep..."
"Maybe we don't have any idea at all."
"Haha, what you said makes sense."
