The Last Voyage

Chapter 43: Teacher (2)

The Hikaru family's church has never been opened so unexpectedly before. Although every day someone comes to light incense, then the door will have to be closed. According to the Hikaru family, this is to avoid disturbing the ancestral soul. Yet, today, the church itself is welcomed by an old man who is so bored and tragic that he loses both faith and the foundation of the meaning of life. Hokage Teacher, who had just handed over the Hikaru family's master's orders to Satoru, the current patriarch. He knelt down before the sermons at the shrine, his eyes closed, his hands clutching a piece of kimono that did not let go. He muttered in his mouth the name 'Hokage Teacher'... Then he laughed bitterly when he realized that right now, he was no longer the Hokage Teacher. Time accidentally destroyed a lot of his things, especially memory. For him, the memory is more fragile than the ringing thread hanging the bell. On occasions, in a few moments of shock, Hokage Teacher forgot who he was.
