Nakatsura looked at Mano. Still smiling, he then continued his story.
"Actually, the news he heard was not true. Uda's friends said such things to see if Uda would visit the exhibition or not. They bet on each other. Some of them thought Uda would not go there during the day because he had to work. After all, the exhibition venue was quite far away. It's almost impossible to go there on foot. The money he had to spend on vehicle costs would be quite expensive. Some of the other friends predicted Uda would definitely come there. He was eager to involve himself in journalism and media in general. So the cost of the vehicle to get there was a part of the investment that he must spend."
Mano was getting more and more interested in hearing Nakatsura's story. He spoke as if he was there. But that incident happened thirty years ago. There was no way that Nakatsura was among the people present there.
"This exhibition was an exhibition that only displays the work of novice photographers. So it's almost impossible for any major media to bother sending their crew there. But at that time, Uda did not know that. He simply believed in the boasts of his friends."
