A man who is ambitious enough to see the sunrise of his own hardworking life in the end of his days but the problem is it's not that simple.
Hi, My name is Oliver east from USA, living in Japan as an architect, newly appointed by my overseas branch of the company. Single but not even mentally prepared to have any kind of relationships. Easy to hangout, free minded but not conservative that much though, I have some personal limitations.
How does it sounds as a Facebook user, profile information is not that much catchy. Can I make any friends by this kind of personal proclivities.
Nah, it's a waste of time anyway. I don't think so, I can't make any time for it and besides who would be interested on a mere architect with fixed paychecks. Better I don't.
Oliver then back to take a shower, he was getting his leisure time after returned from his job. It's been almost six months, he is in Japan, a transferred employee, he arranged his own transfer order. He needed a change of air, in USA everyone was pressuring him to have a girlfriend, some were getting naked every morning tried to surprise him, just laying in his office sofa naked, it was such a shocker at first then he got used to it. Besides all kinds of seduction, he was facing lots of problems every day, almost, especially after the promotion, having his own department to work with his own selected team members.
He is not a gay but not interested into any woman who throws themselves to him. He doesn't think, he worth it. Moreover, lots of beautiful man out there waiting for a girl like them, beautiful, charming and smart, gentle like a flower petals, mesmerizing charismatic women who could be an expensive treasure to anyone but not for a man like him.
While his friends were worried for him if he was turning into a gay or a child abuser or any sorts of psychopath then he was getting ready for the long journey to Japan. A country where he loves to stay and work. His friends tried to stop him because of natural disasters like earthquakes or tsunamis but he didn't listen.
However, he started to design a set of houses with attached furniture on it. Those houses pillars are for the river banks and oceans which would be used as oceans underneath stress reducer then it would be like floating houses over the water like a bridge. So that, current of shores of the water can move around towards the pathway which would be open.
He was thinking of this project, is almost for five years. Researching, calculating about the sustainability of his own personal project's ability to existence. The problem is, he can't afford to face the failure of this project, only if he manage to get a government help for his project, it can be established. But, he couldn't predict or assume if the slides under the ocean could be preserved after channeling the stress to reduce the pressure which causing the earthquakes. He is just a mere architect with a vision to save his beloved Japan from natural disasters, that's all. He loves the country as well as others, aiming to reduce the natural disasters, to atleast sleep in sound.
Human needs to drean about making more houses over and under water especially in the ocean to segregate the pressures which causing by the mighty size of the ocean, as he is thinking but it needs more research on that or afterwards something else could be the reason for the happening disasters.
Floating houses with attached furnitures, available to all for rent but not for sale. Those who are lucky, could enjoy the ocean. Those houses would be linked by roads with the road of the city like bridge or through the bridge whichever is possible. It would be within half a mile of distance from the coastal area, first layer would be in circles of houses then the second layer would be in zigzag lines. Those houses would be furnished with attached furnitures, people who are going to take a rent could stay there with only their belongings, no additional furnitures would be needed. It's a precautionary approach, there will be nothing to loose after any further environmental damages.
Easy to say than to done, Oliver is struggling to shrug off his own dream work. He is suffering to believe in those underlying ocean slides that pressurise the ocean's stress to make earthquakes and then make the ground of the ocean to break.
Underwater landslides or submarine landslides happens from the earthquake and tsunami is from their massive movement that displaces water. The main centre of attraction is the earthquake which is usually caused by the rock breaks underground that pressures the water to shake the ground, reducing that is the boss of all aligned forces.
Tectonic, volcanic, explosion and regional earth warming quakes and Oliver is working on the regional which is caused by the water pressure of the ocean. Long way to establish, even a proven example to motivate government officials, to make their investments worthwhile could be the hardest of all, local billionaires could be more easy to attract if they gain government confidence on this matter but whatever the later situation occurs, the calculation of the architecture needed to be more precise to get the presumptive results.
Oliver heading for the local gatherings, without few friends he is a loner, anime fest is happening where everyone is, he is attracted to that for the time being. Atleast probably can find some interesting manga.
Lin is a manga artist, working in a company of manga publications, they work every single day, creating stories, making their own characters, designing them, drawing to publications everything they have to check and report to their chief. It's their daily life. They publish weekly manga magazines, manga comics, manga online library for the locals and overseas fans. They have a blog where everyone can share their own writing, they can help each other for further improvement. All together, it's a happy place to work in.
Tokyo International Anime Fair is an annual tradeshow which is celebrated by every anime and manga lovers. Everyone was looking forward for it for so long. It is the premier convention of the Japanese animation industry and one of the largest animation related festive events in the world. Lin and her company are also participated in this festival, every year this festivity celebrated by their country, it's another national festival for them.
They worked really hard for this, they were launched 50 new manga in this trade along with old most popular publications. They don't have any anime sections, as a small entrepreneur, they are only keeping and maintaining manga publications but they have introduced in this fair anime merchandisers, cosplay costumes, makeup and accessories as well. Fans love these things, they are completely indifferent and crazy about these things. They tried to keep as cheap as they can to make them affordable especially for students who buy them with their own personal savings.
When Lin was busy with her customers then a nerdy kind a guy with legitimately big spectacles on him came to her stall. He was quite noticeable. His eye glasses were designed with golden brown metal, she never saw such a glass before, he was not that much of a good looking but not that average either. Grey baggy pants with white cotton shirt and light brown wooden sandals, probably living nearby. He was hesitant to see their products, coming back and forth, trying to enter within crowd but he wasn't mentally prepared to go through all those things.
Then Lin came up to rescue him from that uncomfortable situation, she clear up a space for him to share her products, he is a new buyer and a foreigner, that much she understood by her glance.
He is quite a sturdy man, man of his age usually belongs to a book club but he is probably trying something new as Lin was predicting about him when he asks for few manga which is a fresh rare flower to her but ironically, she has all those manga full series in her stall. He astonishingly surprised her by asking for them and buying those complete series. She never thought those manga is actually going to be sold. He even bought their new collectables merchandisers. When she making his receipts then she got to know his name, it's Oliver east.
He doesn't even looked at her twice when he was paying his bills, he paid and left her with pleasant evening. He just gave her a good moment through purchasing those forgotten old manga.
This festival is for 2 to 3 days. After whole days of selling, she took the time to buy her dinner and walking slowly to the beachside. Whole area is glittering with colourful ribbons and lighting. Looking great. She is feeling kind a nostalgic today, for some reason, she was missing all those people she lost from her life, especially, her childhood friend Emica Ejiri.
Lin and Emica was inseparable when accidentally she was taken by the sea at one great evening. She can recall that day still.
