Chapter 30: Freedom Is More Than Just Talking! Feel It! Listen to It...
Raining, Kabukicho Park.
Kawaki sat alone on a bench. It was raining heavily, but Kawaki did not hold an umbrella.
There was no one in the park. Kawaki lowered his head and silently soaked in the rain. It could be seen that Kawaki's body was still trembling slightly. The rain flowed down Kawaki's cheeks.
At this moment, Kawaki remembered what happened today. He remembered the fight between him and Tsukuyo. He remembered the reluctance and determination in her eyes when Tsukuyo said to let him go. He remembered the different meaning in Seita's eyes when he left without looking back
Finally, Kawaki could no longer hold back his laughter.
"Freedom! This is the feeling of freedom! Hahahaha..." Kawaki laughed loudly towards the sky, "Once again, I feel this feeling again! This is freedom!"
"Little brother, little brother, are you alright? Are you stupid? Little brother, little brother?"
Only then did Kawaki finally hear the voice next to him. He stopped laughing and looked to the side.
"Who are you? Big Brother Sunglasses?" Looking at the bearded man sitting next to him and wearing sunglasses, Kawaki could not help but ask.
On the other side. Yorozuya's group of three, who had originally decided to rest on a rainy day, welcomed a small guest that they had never expected
"Hey! Kawaki-san ran away from home?! What exactly is going on, Seita?" Shinpachi sat on the sofa and asked Seita who was beside him in surprise.
"Actually... the teachers in the school arranged for the homework to let the family practice their favorite TV series or animation clips at home with me, but my mother... So in the end, I had to let Brother Kawaki and Sister Tsukuyo accompany me to practice... " Seita said hesitantly.
"Hey, I don't understand at all! Could it be that there was a conflict in the selection? You didn't say the main point at all, did you?" Shinpachi shouted.
"No, there was no conflict during the selection. I was the protagonist, my mother was the director, and Brother Kawaki and Sister Tsukuyo were supporting roles. The practice went smoothly, but..." Seita stopped at this point and revealed an embarrassed expression.
"Hey! That's enough, brat! What exactly happened?! Can you hurry up and get to the main point?! I'm really curious!"
In fact, only Shinpachi was interested. On the side, Gintoki and Kagura were clapping their feet.
"The scene was that the two of them had a big fight, and then Brother Kawaki slammed out the door. The practice went smoothly. The two of them also practiced as in the script. Brother Kawaki finally slammed out, and then... he didn't come back after that..."
"What is this?! Is it too deep into the play?! And why do you want to play this kind of bloody eight o'clock drama! This is that, right? The couple quarreled, the husband left the child and ran out with the mother alone, it must be this kind of plot! Why did you choose this kind of clip?! Your little brat's hobby is too strange, right?!" Shinpachi was rambling on and on.
"It's not that kind of plot! It's just a scene in Kamen Rider!" Seita retorted.
After Seita finished speaking, not only did Shinpachi fall silent. Even Gintoki and Kagura, who were on the side, also fell silent.
"Are you talking nonsense? Hey, is there really such a bloody episode in Kamen Rider? I don't remember it at all, okay! Shouldn't children like the fight scenes in it? Why did you choose such a scene? Too many slots I can't vomit at all!"
"You are wrong, Shinpachi. Think about it carefully. The supporting role of the protagonist next to the protagonist is a man and a woman. Moreover, they often disagree with each other. You will know which work it is!" Gintoki also got up and said with his hands crossed.
"I can't think of it at all! Basically, everyone is good! Not to mention. Even Kamen Rider: Reiwa The First Generation, which was just completed this year is similar to the one called [End of Heisei], which was completed last year."
"Kamen Rider No. 1-aru!" Kagura said and stood up.
She then made a standard Kamen Rider transformation action, "Shine! Overhaul card!"
"Hey, your age is too old! It's time for Reiwa's second generation, right!" After ridiculing Kagura, Shinpachi turned to look at Seita, "Then, in the process of playing the role of the Kamen Rider. Kawaki-san did not come back after he finished his scenes, right?"
"Well, it's like this. Everyone thought that Brother Kawaki would come back in a while, but he didn't come back for a long time. Sister Tsukuyo has already taken [Hyakka] and the security guard at the door to look for him, but there is no result. Mom suggested that I come here to look for him..." Seita replied.
"But I'm really sorry. Kawaki-san has never been here today." Shinpachi looked at Seita apologetically, "But I don't think there is a need to worry. Kawaki-san has always been a mature adult. Nothing will happen to him!"
"Yes, yes, that guy is famous for his hard life. He will definitely not encounter any danger, because there is nothing more dangerous than himself. Don't worry, so go back quickly. We are not a playground for children..." Gintoki said casually.
"Hey, aren't you friends?! Is this kind of reaction really okay?! If Kawaki-san knew, he would definitely be sad!" Shinpachi shouted, then patted his chest and said to Seita, "Don't worry, I will also help to find Kawaki-san."
"Sister Tsukuyo told mother that if she can't find Brother Kawaki today, she will reconsider and let Gin-san become the new Night King..." Just as Seita finished speaking, he saw that Gintoki had already picked up Kagura and Shinpachi.
"How can you dilly-dally! Hurry up! Listen to the little brat! Hurry up and move! You must find the target within a day!"
"Hey, your attitude has changed too quickly!" Shinpachi shouted while holding his glasses.
"It's very troublesome to find someone on a rainy day. Sadaharu's nose is useless because of the rain." Kagura had a helpless expression on her face.
In the park. Kawaki listened to the bearded man for a long time, finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
"You're wrong, do you think you really have nothing in your life? You lost your job because you beat up Prince Hata once, the emperor ordered you to have your belly cut, and your wife ran away. After that, even though you found a new job, it was still because of that idiotic prince that you were unemployed again, and you could not find a stable job after that. All your work only last for three days before you would be fired, and you would even be called Madao. Just because of this, do you feel that your life is really empty No! Look at what else you have left!"
(TL note: MADAO () is a nickname first given by Kagura to Hasegawa Taizou. According to Kitaooji Daigorou school report, Madao is the master of the park. A creature with a beard and sunglasses. It sits in the park all day without working. But his teacher corrected him saying Madao is an unemployed middle-aged man living in the park.)
"Really? Is there really anything left?" Hasegawa began to doubt himself, "Isn't there only sunglasses left?"
"Yes! That's the name! Madao! This name meaning is not just [completely incompetent uncle] or [the uncle who will only ruin his life if he walks with integrity]! But there is a kind of meaning that only very few people can understand. That is..." After a pause, Kawaki turned his head and looked into the distance. He then slowly spit out the famous phrase he made up, "Make yourself and your heart freedom (make yourself free) for short [madao]."
"Hey! How can there be such a simple name! It looks like you just made it up! The grammar is also wrong! It's completely fabricated!"
"Freedom, this is the ultimate pursuit of life. Not only the body but even the soul. Freedom is the ultimate pursuit! Right now, you are free! Not only the body but even the soul! But you don't feel it! Why is this! Do you know why?!" Kawaki shouted at Madao.
"Why?" Hasegawa could not help but ask.
"Go listen and see! Take the bench under your butt for example. Do you think it is free" Kawaki asked, but before Hasegawa could answer. Kawaki had already taken the lead and said the answer, "No! It is not free! From a tree to a chair, it had lost its freedom! Humans are the same! From the moment you entered the company, you were no longer free! From the moment you had a family, you were no longer free! Listen! Was the chair crying? Because he had lost his freedom to cry!"
"I didn't hear anything." Hasegawa, who was lying down and pressing his ear against the chair, asked doubtfully.
"Calm your heart, close your eyes, and listen carefully! It's there!"
After saying that, Kawaki gave time to Hasegawa.
Hasegawa listened carefully according to what Kawaki said, and finally... "Really! I can really hear the rustle, and I can feel moist! Is it tears"
[Foreign Voice]: Isn't it raining?!
"It seems that you have understood the first stage! Then start to understand freedom is the second stage!" Kawaki nodded and continued, "Do you know how many people want freedom? Do you know why Neji only felt free before he died because he blocked an arrow for Naruto?"
"Why?"
"If you want to know, then merge with nature! Now, release the restraints on your body, and stand in the rain. Experience the feeling of being one with nature!"
After Kawaki finished speaking, Hasegawa instantly understood. He instantly took off all his clothes and stood in the rain.
"Is this okay?" Hasegawa turned around and asked.
"The posture is wrong! You want the golden rooster to be independent! It's just the second step. As long as this step is completed, you can finally move on to the third step!" Kawaki reprimanded, "After the second step is completed, you can experience the freedom of your body! The third step is all about the freedom of the soul! Now, hurry up and do it! Imagine that you are one with nature! You are the wind, the free wind!"
Half an hour later
"Really! I really feel dizzy! My whole body is floating!" Hasegawa said in surprise.
"It's not enough! It's said to imagine yourself as the wind! Free wind! Let your mind wander! Go wherever you want! You no longer have any emotions at that time! You become your own god! God who rules over himself! Go! Madao!"
