Painting of Yuika's Father Who Was Lost

Small family photos of Yuika are neatly displayed in the living room, the reflection of the glitter of light from the gold-colored glass frame makes the glare of each eye that looks at her.

Fuji was standing looking at the picture from the picture frame, it looks like the 10-year-old child is missing Yuika, even though only two days her brother went on vacation to Karuizawa.

Meanwhile, Mr. Yoshimura is receiving a very important call from his relatives.

"Yes, don't worry, I'll drive him in time. Yes, if you want this afternoon I'll take it straight away. Yes well, thank you..!" It was heard that Mr. Yoshimura was talking through his cell phone.

"Darling..! Do you want to go with Dad..? Shouted master Yoshimura to Fuji who was still engrossed in looking at the photos of their little family.

"Fuji darling..! I'm going to my friend's house..!" Shouted master Yoshimura once again.

Not getting an answer from his daughter, Yoshimura approached Fuji in the living room.

"Yes..! I'll go to a friend's house, you want to come or I'll take you to Miss Naomi's house..?" Ask Mr. Yoshimura.

"Fuji just wanted to come with me." Fuji Sahut.

"All right, now go sneeze-ready in 10 minutes we're gone." Said Mr. Yoshimura.

"Ok yeah..!" Fuji exclaimed as he jumped down from the top of the sofa and ran up the stairs towards his room.

Mr. Yoshimura then began packing 2 paintings using thick substations.

10 Minutes later Fuji has returned with a very neat look.

"Dad, I'm ready, let's go now..!" Fuji told me his father left while holding his hand.

Meanwhile in Karuizawa. Yuika looked engrossed in enjoying the beautiful scenery around the resort they were staying at.

This is the second day Yuika and friends are in Karuizawa. In the afternoon they will all go to Karuizawa Contemporary Art Museum.

"Yuika..!" Shouted one of his friends named Misao, calling Yuika.

Misao is a member of Otaru High School 1 volleyball team.

"What's up..?" Yuika asked as she approached Misao.

"See that..!" Misao said, pointing to a painting on the wall of the inn.

"The painting is so pretty, isn't it..!" Misao said back.

"Yes, this is beautiful..!" Sahut Yuika as she came closer to the painting and looked carefully.

"I'm familiar with this painting..? Like the painting Dad made. Is this not a painting of Dad..!"Yuika.

"Usually every painting must be listed by the name of the painter, try to find it." Misao.

"Yes you're right too." Sahut Yuika while looking for the name of the painter from the painting, but unfortunately Yuika did not find the name or code that is usually written by the artist.

Not running out of ideas, Yuika then took out the phone from her pocket. He took a picture of the painting and sent it to his father.

"I found a painting that looked like my father's in the inn. Does this painting belong to dad..?" Yuika sent the picture at once along with a message to her father.

His father, who was riding a motorcycle, did not know the message his daughter had sent.

Meanwhile Yuika continued to look at some of the paintings in the building where they were staying. Yuika feels suspicious that the paintings are indeed paintings belonging to her father who had been stolen by Mr. Takeda, a friend who had deceived her father.

Yuika then took pictures of all the paintings on the walls of the room.

The girl again sent her father a message and also a photo of the paintings, but the master Yoshimura who was riding his motorcycle did not know the message sent by Yuika to him.

Long waiting for a reply to a message from her father, the girl finally called her father's number.

The noise from the vehicles on the highway made Mr. Yoshimura's ringtone inaudible.

"What's wrong with dad..? Are you busy..? Why isn't he answering my phone..?" Yuika cried in heart.

Out of curiosity Yuika then went to meet Miss Karin who happened to work at the resort.

"Sorry, can I talk to you..? Just for a moment, there's something I want to ask you..!" Said Yuika to Miss Karin.

"Of course, you can ask me anything." Miss Karin said with a smile to Yuika.

"Did you know about that painting over there..?" Yuika asked as she pointed towards the paintings displayed on the wall.

"You mean the goldfish, the rose and the little girl's painting..?" Miss Karin asked Yuika again.

"Yes, do you know where the paintings came from..?" Yuika asked with a curious face.

"Know that big brother the paintings were obtained from a collector." Said miss Karin.

"Do you know what the collector's name is..?" Yuika asked who was getting curious.

"He's from Tokyo, brother forgets what his name is." Answer miss Karin.

"Oh yeah..!" Said Yuika who looked desperate.

"But if you want, you can ask the owner of this resort directly later." Said miss Karin.

"What's wrong with the paintings, why are you so curious..?" Miss Karin asked Yuika again.

"My father was a painter and we used to live in Tokyo. My father had a disaster, his best friend had deceived him and sold his gallery of paintings and all the paintings of my father's works and then he ran away somewhere." Yuika explained.

"Oh so it's like that..!" Said miss Karin.

"So I beg you if you know where the paintings are coming from, please tell me immediately." Said Yuika while bowing her body pleading to miss Karin.

"Alright, brother will help find information about the painting." Answer miss Karin.

"Thank you..! Then I'll excuse you to go." Said Yuika with a smile and went back to see her team-mates.

Meanwhile Fuji and Mr Yoshimura are just returning from the home of his business partner.

Yuika's father seemed to have just opened a message from Yuika.

He looked at the pictures of the paintings sent by his daughter and it was true that they were his old paintings.

Without wasting any time, master Yoshimura then contacted Yuika.

"Hallo..!" Said Mr. Yoshimura.

"Yes dad, have you seen the picture..?" Ask Yuika.

"Dear, that's my dad's painting. So is Mr Takeda the owner of the resort you're staying at..?" Ask Mr. Yoshimura.

"Not father, the owner of this resort is not Mr. Takeda, Yuika also does not know whether it is Mr. Takeda who has sold the paintings owned by father to the owner of the resort or not. Now Yuika was still searching for information." Yuika.

"Well baby, call me immediately if you have any information about Mr. Takeda." Yoshimura taun.

"Alright dad, Yuika will definitely try to find out about Mr. Takeda and immediately tell dad." Answer Yuika.

"Thank you dear, I'm waiting to hear from you." Said Mr. Yoshimura.

"You take good care of yourself there, see you later." Mr. Yoshimura said back.

"All right..! See you later." Yuika then ended the call.
