20:41 Group Leader:
Sorry, is the circulation sheet stuck with Komori right now?
It would help if you could return it by tomorrow morning.

20:43 Komori:
I took it to H-kawa’s place this evening.
It’s the blue one.

20:44 H-kawa:
I received it. Just looked at it now.
Isn’t this month’s neighborhood association bulletin from last month?

20:44 Group Leader:
It’s the November issue.
The one with the waste-sorting duty schedule.

20:45 H-kawa:
Is that so.
It felt like the bottom was shorter.

20:46 Miyamoto:
Shorter?

20:47 H-kawa:
The explanation for the sorted waste usually included the bit about PET bottle caps, I thought.
It’s not there this time.

20:48 Group Leader:
It was included in the draft.
But it may have been cut off when it was printed.
I’ll check tomorrow.

20:49 Ishikura:
It seemed normal when it came to our place.
I didn’t read it properly, though.

20:51 Komori:
I took a photo. My mother forgets her duty days, so.

20:52 Miyamoto:
Huh?

20:52 Komori:
Do you see something in the photo?

20:53 Miyamoto:
No, it just looks like there’s a column at the bottom.

20:53 Ishikura:
There’s nothing there.
Just the sorted-waste section.

20:54 H-kawa:
On my screen there is.
It reads, I think, “obituaries.”

20:54 Group Leader:
We didn’t make any such column.

20:55 Komori:
It doesn’t show up on my mother’s phone.
It does on mine.
Why?

20:56 Miyamoto:
I don’t know if it’s okay to say the names, but
is our surname on there?

20:56 H-kawa:
I think the top one is someone else.
The kanji are different.

20:57 Ishikura:
Ours is Ishikura.
Isn’t that written as Ishizō?
Like the one we were misaddressed by in the mail before.

20:58 H-kawa:
Sorry, that’s how it looks.
There’s also an age number beside it.

20:59 Ishikura:
My father is still asleep, but
that sort of thing makes me feel sick, so please erase it.

21:00 Komori:
I’ll delete the image.

21:00 Komori:
(deleted)

21:01 Miyamoto:
Even if you delete it, it’s still here on my side.

21:02 Group Leader:
I’ll check the paper tomorrow.
Please don’t stop the circulation sheet there; pass it on.

21:03 H-kawa:
I’m scared to pass it on.

21:04 Group Leader:
Rather than scared, we need to confirm that everyone has seen it.
Please.

21:05 Ishikura:
Please don’t show it to my father.

21:05 H-kawa:
I won’t show him.

21:06 Read 5

23:17 H-kawa:
Sorry.
I just looked again and it feels like the names have increased.

23:18 Miyamoto:
On the paper?

23:18 H-kawa:
Yes, the paper.
I think earlier it was only Ishizō-san.
Now there is another one below.

23:19 Group Leader:
Who is it?

23:20 H-kawa:
I feel like I shouldn’t say.

23:20 Miyamoto:
Ours?

23:21 H-kawa:
No.
Probably not.
It’s written like a maiden name.

23:22 Komori:
Whose maiden name?

23:22 H-kawa:
(typing…)

23:31 H-kawa:
Sorry, maybe I misread it.

23:32 Group Leader:
Can you take a photo?

23:33 H-kawa:
If I take one, it disappears.
On the screen it looks like an ordinary neighborhood bulletin.
It only shows up when I look at it directly.

23:34 Ishikura:
My father got up and went to look toward the entrance.
The circulation sheet is still with H-kawa, right?

23:35 H-kawa:
It’s with me.

23:35 Ishikura:
Then it’s unrelated.
Sorry.

2024/11/19 (Tue)

00:12 H-kawa:
Group Leader, is it okay if I bring it over now?
I’ll leave it outside.

00:13 Group Leader:
Morning tomorrow is fine.

00:13 H-kawa:
I don’t want to leave it inside the house.

00:14 Group Leader:
Please put it by the umbrella stand next to the entrance.

00:28 H-kawa:
I left it there.
It’s the blue circulation sheet.

00:29 Group Leader:
I’ll check it in the morning.

01:07 Group Leader:
Did the landline just ring?

01:08 Miyamoto:
Ours didn’t ring.

01:08 Komori:
I was asleep.

01:09 Group Leader:
Sorry, it’s our house phone.
When I answered, there was no voice.
Just the sound of paper being turned.

01:10 Ishikura:
My father is at the entrance again.
Did someone come by?

01:11 Group Leader:
I don’t think anyone came.

01:12 Ishikura:
My father is asking where the condolence envelope is.
No one has died yet, right?

01:13 Miyamoto:
Let’s not phrase it like that.

01:13 Ishikura:
Sorry.

01:14 H-kawa:
I shouldn’t have looked at the names.

01:15 Group Leader:
Tomorrow I’ll replace it with another sheet.
I’ll also ask whether we can exchange the circulation sheet.

01:16 Komori:
Ask where?

01:17 Group Leader:
The person who manages the neighborhood’s supplies.

01:18 Komori:
The blue one has an old town-name sticker underneath, right?
Can’t we peel that off?

01:20 Group Leader:
It’s old, so I think we should leave it alone.

01:21 H-kawa:
The image Komori sent to me—hasn’t the file name changed?

01:22 Komori:
Changed?

01:22 H-kawa:
The one forwarded to me is IMG_20241117.
It was taken yesterday, right?

01:23 Komori:
Mine says 17th too.
I took it on the 18th.
I have a screenshot.

01:24 Miyamoto:
I don’t want the screenshot to turn into the 17th too, so I’ll stop.

07:36 Group Leader:
I checked the circulation sheet.
The lower column isn’t visible.
However, the waste-sorting notice is missing one line.
To be safe, I’ll send it around once more today.

07:38 Ishikura:
Please don’t send it around anymore.
My father seems to have a fever.

07:39 Group Leader:
I think the health issue and the circulation sheet are separate, but please take care.

07:40 Ishikura:
If they’re separate, then fine.

07:41 Miyamoto:
Are you sending it to our place too?

07:42 Group Leader:
For confirmation.
Please pass it on immediately after you look at it.

07:43 Komori:
What if it says “not yet circulated”?

07:44 Group Leader:
What are you talking about?

07:45 Komori:
Sorry, nothing.

12:06 Miyamoto:
It came.
It’s the brown circulation sheet, not the blue one.

12:07 Group Leader:
I should have sent the blue one around.

12:07 Miyamoto:
But it’s brown.
The contents are the same.
There’s no column at the bottom.

12:08 H-kawa:
If it’s brown, isn’t that fine?

12:09 Miyamoto:
I looked again and it’s blue.
Sorry, the entrance was dark.

12:09 Komori:
Even in the dark, I don’t think you mix up blue and brown.

12:10 Miyamoto:
When you put it that way, I guess so.

12:11 Miyamoto:
Um, it looks like my name is written in my maiden name.

12:12 Group Leader:
Do you mean the column is visible?

12:13 Miyamoto:
Visible, or maybe I just thought I saw it.
It’s not there now.

12:14 Ishikura:
Which maiden name was it again?

12:14 Miyamoto:
Please don’t ask that.

12:15 Ishikura:
Sorry.

12:16 Miyamoto:
When I asked my husband, he said that was the surname I had from the start.
It isn’t.

12:17 Komori:
Are you all right?

12:18 Miyamoto:
Only the bag for the celebratory chopsticks in the cupboard had my maiden name on it.
Not the one from our wedding, the one I bought last year.

12:20 Group Leader:
I’ll stop the circulation for today.
Please return it to my house.

12:21 H-kawa:
If you return it, won’t it increase?

12:22 Group Leader:
Please don’t phrase it as “increase.”

12:23 Komori:
Then what should we say?

12:25 Group Leader:
Say “I’ll check it,” that’s fine.

2024/11/20 (Wed)

06:02 Ishikura:
My father was sleeping on the entrance genkan floor.
The fever hasn’t gone down.
I’m going to call emergency services for advice.

06:04 Group Leader:
Please have him seen right away.

06:05 Ishikura:
There was a neighborhood association bulletin on top of the shoe cabinet.
We didn’t receive the circulation sheet.

06:06 Komori:
Does it say “not yet circulated”?

06:07 Ishikura:
It’s written small at the bottom right.
It looks purplish.

06:08 H-kawa:
Please throw that away.

06:09 Group Leader:
Please put it in an envelope instead of throwing it away.
Don’t touch it.

06:10 Miyamoto:
What are you going to do with it in an envelope?

06:11 Group Leader:
I’ll check them all together later.

06:12 Komori:
I don’t think it’s better to group them.

06:13 Group Leader:
(deleted)

06:14 H-kawa:
What was that just now?

06:14 Group Leader:
It was a typo.

06:15 Komori:
A typo doesn’t produce “next is who?”.

06:16 Group Leader:
I didn’t write anything like that.

06:16 Miyamoto:
I saw it.

06:17 Ishikura:
I saw it too.

06:18 Group Leader:
I don’t remember that.

06:23 H-kawa:
One read receipt is missing.

06:24 Komori:
It’s usually 5, right?

06:25 Miyamoto:
The Group Leader is reading it, right?

06:25 Group Leader:
I’m reading it.

06:26 Ishikura:
Was my father’s device in this group too?

06:27 Komori:
I don’t think it was.

06:28 Ishikura:
Then whose read receipt disappeared?

06:29 H-kawa:
I can hear the sound of paper being turned.
From my phone.

06:30 Miyamoto:
Me too.

06:30 Komori:
Mine isn’t making any sound.

06:31 Group Leader:
I’m closing this group for now.
I’ll contact you individually for anything necessary.

06:31 Group Leader:
@All members The circulation sheet will not be used for the time being.

06:32 Komori:
Could this app even use @all?

06:33 Group Leader:
I don’t remember sending that.

06:36 Miyamoto joined the chat

06:36 Miyamoto:
That wasn’t me just now.

06:37 Ishikura:
I’m taking my father and leaving.

06:38 Komori:
A black-and-white copy was left at the entrance.
Ours too.

06:39 Group Leader:
Please don’t open it.

06:40 Komori:
My mother already opened it.
There is no column.
Only “not yet circulated” at the bottom right.

06:41 H-kawa:
I smell incense.

06:42 Group Leader:
Please refrain from posting here for the moment.
