Comprehensive Manga: Chu Yue's Anime Travel

A familiar smell that I haven't smelled in a long, long time.

Okazaki Naoki opened his eyes and looked towards the kitchen.

From the crack of the kitchen door, Okazaki Naoyuki seemed to see a girl in an apron who was cooking.

"Atsuko?!" Okazaki Naoyuki said in a small voice.

"Huh?" Chu Yue who was cooking seemed to have heard something, but because the sound of cooking was too loud, the sound disappeared in a flash, so Chu Yue didn't stop to listen carefully.

"Atsuko?!" Okazaki Naoki said again, trying to get himself up and running to the kitchen.

However, as soon as he stood up, he stepped on a wine bottle and Okazaki fell again.

This time, Chu Yue finally heard the sound, and shoveled all the vegetables in the pot into the plate. Before taking off the apron, she went back to see the situation of Okazaki Naoyuki.

"Uncle Okazaki, how are you?" Chu Yue asked Naoyuki Okazaki, who had fallen down.

"Yes, Chu Yue..." Okazaki Naoki said.

"Yeah." Chu Yue nodded, "I saw that the door was unlocked, so I entered without authorization."

"It's okay..." Okazaki Naoyuki seemed to recall something, and his eyes were a little erratic.

"I made the meal, and you just woke up. Come and have a taste." Chu Yue said.

"Well..." Okazaki Naoyuki still answered unhurriedly.

Chu Yue put all the food on the table and set the tableware and chopsticks before helping Okazaki Naoyuki, who seemed to be a little drunk, to sit at the table.

Okazaki Naoyuki's eyes finally got a lot more expression, he picked up the tableware and took a bite of the dish, and then...

Naoyuki Okazaki's tears flowed.

Immediately, Okazaki Naoyuki ate violently like a starving ghost reincarnated.

Seeing the changes in this man, Chu Yue said nothing, quietly waiting for Okazaki Naoki to finish eating.

After eating, Okazaki Naoyuki finally fully woke up.

"I'm sorry, Chu Yue..." Naoyuki Okazaki said apologetically to Chu Yue, "I made you laugh."

"Where." Chu Yue said with a smile, "I'm very happy that you like it so much."

"It's been a long time since I had a meal like this..." Naoyuki Okazaki said, "Thank you, Chu Yue..."

"It's nothing." Chu Yue said, "I'm going to clean up the dishes."

"Ah, let me come." Okazaki Naoki stood up and said.

"It's alright." Chu Yue said, "I always do it at home. It's alright if you sit down."

"Okay..." Okazaki Naoyuki said, watching Chu Yue clearing the dishes, he couldn't help but say: "Chu Yue... You and her seem..."

"Huh?" Chu Yue asked, "She?"

"Well." Okazaki Naoyuki nodded, "My wife, Tomoya's mother... Her name is Atsuko."

Chu Yue suddenly felt embarrassed to death...

Chapter 455 ([-]) Another year of graduation

"Atsuko... She died in a traffic accident when Tomoya was very young." Okazaki Naoyuki told Chu Yue about the past that almost no one knew about.

"When I first started, I felt like my world was falling apart," Okazaki continued. "'What's the point of living?' I ask myself that every day."

"I smoke, drink heavily, don't go to work every day, stay in the house every day, miss Atsuko, miss our time together, then think about Atsuko's departure, and cry until I fall asleep."

"At that time, I really felt that it didn't matter what the world was like." Okazaki Naoki said, "until..."

"Until, I heard Tomiya's cry." Okazaki Naoki said, his eyes filled with memories.

"Tomoya at that time was just a child." Naoyuki Okazaki said, "It shouldn't be the first time he cried, but the cry that time pierced my broken heart."

"That's when I finally realized that I can't continue like this." Okazaki Naoki said, bowing his head, "I started to look for a job, and I started to take care of Tomoya while earning money..."

"During that time, it should be the hardest time in my life." Okazaki Naoyuki said, but suddenly laughed again: "But, it was also my most fulfilling time."

"I've never been as strong as that time." Okazaki continued, "At that time, I couldn't stop, I couldn't stop, I couldn't stop working at all. I was fired countless times, looking for work everywhere... Because, because I still have friends!"

"But..." Okazaki Naoyuki's eyes dimmed again, "I don't know when Tomo has gradually grown up, gradually, gradually, and gradually became estranged from me..."

"Finally, after a fight with Tomoya, I suddenly realized that Tomoya no longer needs me..." Naoyuki Okazaki said, "My life lost its purpose and all meaning at once. I've matured...he doesn't need me anymore..."

"No." At this time, Chu Yue finally interjected, "You will always be his father, and he will always need your guidance."

Okazaki Naoyuki smiled helplessly, and then said: "After Tomoya went to high school, I started to become decadent again. I originally thought that life would go on like this until you appeared, Chu Yue."

"Tomoya started to talk to me, and gradually began to communicate with me." Okazaki Naoyuki said, "During the conversation, I learned that he has made a friend of you, Chu Yue."

"In the beginning, I just sighed that Tomoya finally had his own friends and life, and finally had his own connections..." Okazaki Naoki said, "Later, I realized that Tomoya is also repairing the relationship with me. "

"That's what happened recently." Okazaki said with a wry smile, "My relationship with Tomoya has recovered a lot, Tomoya has a girlfriend, and then... Suddenly one day, Tomoya told me that he was going to the United States. ."

Naoyuki Okazaki's tears flowed unconsciously.

"I know, I know Tomoya always wants to get married, he always wants to leave me..." Okazaki Naoki said, "But, but I..."

"You are a great father." Chu Yue said to Okazaki Naoyuki, "an ordinary and great father."
