[Synopsis] My dad found the car in a rice field. Until now it was just parked there at our house. Its exact origin unknown, this car was disliked by everyone in the family. But when dad suddenly announced he was selling the car, the way the family spoke out on behalf of dad and the car was quite unexpected. The family was kinder than I had thought.
