Chapter 276: time capsule

"Don't say that."

Shaking his head and moving the topic away from his hair, Yagi couldn't help asking as he looked at Takahashi with white temples in front of him.

"By the way, Takahashi, how have you been in the past 20 years? I haven't heard from you since graduation."

"I'm not as amazing as you, Yagi. Up to now, I'm just an ordinary section manager in the company. After getting married a few years ago, I took a mortgage on my back and worked hard every day to support my family."

"Speaking of which, why didn't you notify me when you got married? I thought we had a good relationship."

"I wanted to inform you, but I don't have your address at all. I asked someone to ask them that you were transferred abroad. I thought you would not 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 last one or two years. Speaking of which, if the classmates met two years earlier, I might not be able to participate. indefinite."

Patting his bald forehead, Yagi said with hindsight.

Inside the school auditorium.

Just when Takahashi and Yagi and others were communicating, they were on the podium.

The person in charge of the main itinerary of the reunion picked up the microphone and interrupted everyone's recollection.

"Okay, classmates, I'm very happy to be able to meet again after such a long time, but for now, please put aside the old things for now, let's go to today's main event, and bury it in the school. The time capsule on campus was dug up."

"Time capsule, I've already forgotten about it."

In the auditorium, after hearing the reminder from the person in charge, Yagi said something with emotion.

"Do you remember what you put in the time capsule, Takahashi?"

"How can I remember this? It's been twenty years."

The history of the time capsule first appeared at the World Expo in 1939. At that time, the world-renowned physicist Einstein received a call from the President of the United States, Roosevelt, and hoped that he would write a letter to human beings 5,000 years later, as the The gift of the New York World's Fair that opened the following year, and since that World's Fair, the time capsule has become the tradition of the World's Fair.

At the 1970 Osaka World Expo, a spherical time capsule with an inner diameter of one meter was buried, which triggered the popularity of time capsules in Japan at that time.

It was because of this influence that Takahashi and his class of students buried a time capsule as a souvenir before graduation.

It's just that they, who buried the capsule at that time, never thought that their group would really go back to school to dig out the capsule 20 years later.

Under the urging of the person in charge, everyone walked out of the auditorium in twos and threes and came to the place where the time capsule was buried.

"Thank you for remembering where the capsule was buried."

"Speaking of which, thanks to the teacher, he reminded us that in order not to forget the location of the capsule, he 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 had been buried for 20 years about to be dug up.

They took prepared shovels and started digging by a few able-bodied classmates.

"Speaking of which, I've noticed you since just now, Takahashi..."

Standing in the crowd, Yagi looked at Takahashi with a somewhat absent-minded expression on his face and couldn't help asking.

"Why do I feel like you are looking for something? Is there a classmate you were looking forward to meeting who didn't come to the alumni reunion?"

After all, twenty years have passed.

Naturally, it was impossible for all the classmates from the beginning to be there. In fact, there were a few classmates who were unable to attend today's class reunion due to various reasons.

Everyone is more or less regretful about this result.

"No, I just thought she came back?"

"She? Who?"

"Keiko Watanabe-san."

"Keiko Watanabe, you are talking about that person."

Hearing the name that appeared in Takahashi's mouth, Yagi's expression froze for a while, and then he scratched his bare forehead a little uncomfortable.

"Speaking of it, at that time, what we did was indeed a bit too much. Even from the current perspective, it was a bit inappropriate to treat a female classmate like this."

"So, it's a matter of course that Watanabe Keiko did not come to the class reunion. After all, the high school days are not very good memories for her."

Hearing Yagi's words, Takahashi's expression was a little silent.

"When I heard you say that, I really want to remember it. Just yesterday, I really wanted to receive a phone call. It mentioned about the alumni reunion. I thought that when I came to the alumni reunion today, a classmate would stand up. , but now it seems that this call is likely to be made by Keiko Watanabe, but..."

"You got a call too?!"

Hearing Yagi's words, the expression on Takahashi's face couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Seeing him say so, Yagi immediately looked at Takahashi and said, "So, Takahashi, you too?"

Just as Takahashi and Yagi looked at each other, behind them, there were the voices of two other female classmates talking.

"What, Yamato-san, you have always been in touch with Keiko Watanabe."

"Only occasionally, I get a call from her. Keiko Watanabe has been talking about her high school days on the phone, and what everyone has done to her, even after 20 years, she has always remembered clearly. Originally I When I heard the call, I felt a little sorry, but she kept calling, and I was a little scared. Yesterday, she called and talked about the alumni reunion and said she was looking forward to it. I thought she would come, but..."

"Fortunately, Keiko Watanabe didn't come. Although we isolated her when she was in middle school, it was also related to her own gloomy personality~www.readwn.com~ At that time, everyone was just a teenager, and they were not interested in that kind of personality. Weird guy, always subconsciously doesn't like it..."

"And from what you said, it's already been twenty years, and she's still brooding about what happened at that time. It's definitely not normal."

"makes sense."

Hearing her classmate Akiko's words, Yamato-san nodded in agreement.

Bang!

"Finally dug up."

While they were talking, the classmates who were in charge of digging the time capsule in front finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped their sweaty heads, and looked at the man-high pothole beside them.

"I don't know what we thought at the time, to actually bury the time capsule in such a deep place..."

"Maybe we don't have any ideas at all."

"Haha, you're right."
