“Someone who has a cosmos within himself escapes a locality no matter where he may be in the world, no matter at which periphery he may be… Miyazawa Kenji, the poet of Hanamaki, Iwate Prefecture, was one of the rare possessors of such a cosmos.”
In the summer he wrote Hosaka again, reporting that lately he had been “bad-tempered and easily becoming furious”: Anger flares up and my body feels as though it has entered alcohol. Sitting at a desk and remembering someone saying something, I suddenly feel like smashing the desk with my whole body. Anger looks red. When it’s too strong the light of anger becomes so luxuriant it rather feels like water. In the end it looks deathly pale. To be sure, anger doesn’t make you feel bad… This paroxysm that almost turns me into a madman I mechanically call up by its true name and join my hands. An asura in the world of humans becoming a buddha. And filled with joy I turn the pages again.
Side note: This was from the very first stage play tho so no Fukuzawa & Kyouka’s shoot was with the mafia. That aside, this shoot tho.
ALSO, its a hilarious idea to me that one day everyone in the ADA just showed up dressed in traditional garb to just sit here for photos like some yearbook photo op XD
The chapter is called “We are back to the Detective Agency again”
A rather calm chapter compared to the pain we had last month. I am hoping it is not the calm before the storm. This is gonna be long because I can’t pick what part is important and what is not… Every dialogues seem necessary to the story…
Neither my English nor Japanese is perfect (and to be honest my mind is not being very clear today because I have been gaming too much over the last 2 days lol) so please forgive me if I make some mistakes.
I want all of you to understand how precious this baby is. He is so mature, so pure and so bright.
He loves his ADA family so much that he will do anything and everything to save them.
He also knows that his current opponent has someone important.
And the way, our Kenji softly and sweetly smiled and offered his help to find that someone important is just the best thing in this world, in this universe.
World, protect this sunshine no matter what. Guard his heart. Shield his purity. Appreciate his existence. Be grateful for his love.
