Chapter 813 - Kapha
"Can you imagine my emotions at the time? She found out too late, it was too late to have an abortion, and she had to give birth to the child...... I was in the midst of a career upswing, and if I had an illegitimate child because of this situation, my future would have been completely ruined. So I had to legalize the child, which meant that I had to marry the child's birth mother - even if it meant breaking up with Hikari's mother. β
"I did that, but the problem is, after I got married to Uchiko, she told me that during the time we were in a brief relationship, she accidentally became pregnant with Hikaru."
"You see, that's how ironic things are," said Spectrum and Takumi, whose expressions were slightly distorted, and who looked at Takagi, Sato, and Conan with a very reasonable lookβand the three of them didn't know how to refute him after hearing such a thing. "In order to avoid an illegitimate scandal, I created an illegitimate scandal myself, and ended up marrying a woman I didn't love at all, but I didn't even get the benefits I deserved from such a sacrifice."
"Of course, it's all my fault for not being able to take care of myself, and I can understand that, so I've never blamed them for that - plus Uchiko treated me very well after marriage, and I felt that life was good over time. However, I didn't expect that my two favorite women and my two favorite children would go before me. β
"Five years ago, Xiaoguang's mother died of cancer; Three years ago, Xiaoguang was killed because of that incident; Two years ago, Uchiko died of a sudden cerebral obstruction. A year ago, the dog was accidentally killed in a wingsuit flight...... I lost all my spiritual pillars outside of myself. Two years ago, my own professional mission collapsed. β
"You know, for the past thirty years, almost forty years, I've been Domoto's exclusive tuner, and I've spent almost my entire career with him, and working for him is the only thing I do."
With that, the composer turned his head and looked through the window of the box in the direction of Domoto Ikchi, who was playing the organ on the stage. As he turned his head, he saw why the small square he had placed on the table, which was the bomb's artificially detonated remote control, had suddenly flown out.
There is a hole in the window, and on the other side of the hole is another box shrouded in darkness.
I see, is it a sniper...... It's really a big battle, and it's completely because I didn't even think of a big battle anywhere before.
"Anyway...... When Domoto announced two years ago that he would no longer play the piano and start playing the organ instead, many people said that it was a very risky thing for him because he was too old. But who has considered that I am worse than him in this matter? β
"He offered me a very good price, saying that he could make me the director of the Domoto Concert Hall, which had already begun to be built at that time, and be in charge of the related management. It's very rewarding, I'll admit it, but I'm well aware that I'm not a managerial person, and it's not a job that I am passionate about. Of course, I have every right to choose to end my work with him and become someone else's tuner β I have the confidence to work perfectly with anyone. But the problem is, after 35 years of working with Domoto, I ...... Maybe I felt a sense of dependence on him, but I didn't want to work with a second pianist in my whole tuning career. In such a situation, I completely lost the motivation to live - my work had stopped there, and my family had been cut off, and there was no longer any hope......"
"I didn't really have anything to complain about, I just ...... Later, when Domoto played the organ, he also performed very well, without any jerky feeling at all, and I was the only one left, and I still fell victim to his decision to change careers. Yes, the world is so impermanent, it's someone else's fault, but in the end they want me to pay for it......"
"As you can see, Don Ben converted to the organ, completely abandoned the piano, and did it very thoroughly - he even moved his own piano to the academy, and the score at home was replaced, as if he had never been an organist, and had never touched the piano. It's just ...... The naked betrayal of me, the old waste who can only tune the piano, and the old piano that can only be played like a piano, is so nakedly abandoned. He was having a good time with the organ in a new world - you look at this concert hall, the organ is simply embedded here, and anyone will see that this concert hall is a pipe organ concert hall that belongs to the world-renowned organ virtuoso Domoto Yiwao. β
"Of course, if it were just this one thing, I wouldn't do these things. But considering that I still need to avenge my children, I have a reason to give it all up. β
"But when your child is autopsied, his alcohol content is not enough to really affect his judgment......"
"Ah, yes, there is no alcohol, but do you know why my little light is so drunk that he staggered off the cliff when he didn't drink any alcohol? Because they made him take another exotic drink from the buffet. β
"Kaffa."
Conan was not unfamiliar with the term, as it was a common drink in the South Pacific, and there were even myths related to it β he had heard his father tell it when he was in Hawaii.
The Almighty Creator Tagaloalagi created the land and everything on it, as well as the world's first man, Pava, who then enjoyed with Pava a wine made from the roots of sacred plants. But during their celebration, when the son of Pava trespassed into the ritual that the Creator had declared only himself and Ava to participate in, the Creator was furious and tore the child to pieces. Eventually, the Creator saw that Pawa was remorseful for his son's sins, and finally showed mercy and dropped a few drops of communion wine on the boy's body, and the child was immediately resurrected - to this day, the holy wine called kaffa is still believed to foreshadow the connection between the Creator and humanity, and the southern Pacific is still popular to drop a few drops of kaffa on the mat as a common opening ritual. At the same time, it is also often used as a major ceremonial liquor to celebrate weddings, welcome guests, make important decisions, or mourn the deceased.
