Aia kekahi mau puke aloha a me nā puke aloha. A ʻoiai like paha ia, ua māka ʻia ka ʻokoʻa e ka hohonu o ka hoʻolālā. ʻAʻole wau makemake e haʻalele i nā puke moʻolelo o kēia ʻano e hoʻolaʻa iā lākou iho e haʻi iā mākou i ke ola a me ka hana a nā ipo ʻelua i ke alo o kahi aloha hiki ʻole (ma muli o nā kaukani he mau hanana), he hapa nui o lākou he leʻaleʻa maikaʻi loa. Akā ʻo ia ka hihia o kēia puke Māla o Sonoko he mea kūikawā.
ʻO ka mea mua, ka pae. E heluhelu ai i kēia puke hou na David Crespo e huakaʻi ai i Iapana, i ka hohonu o kāna moʻomeheu, a i ka ʻaoʻao hohonu o kahi ʻāina, kahi i kūkulu ʻia ai kēlā ʻano idiosyncrasy e pili ana i ka mahalo a me nā loina e pili ana i ka noho like ʻana.
ʻO ka lua, ʻo ka moʻolelo ponoʻī. He kāne ʻano ʻē ʻo Kaoru. Hoʻolaʻa ʻia ʻo ia i ke kūʻai aku ʻana i nā kāmaʻa ma Kyoto, ua ʻike ʻia kahi hina ʻē aʻe iā mākou ma ke ʻano he protagonist i manaʻo ʻole ʻia o ka moʻolelo. Akā ʻemi iki mākou e komo i kāna ʻuhane hermetic o nā wili a ʻike ʻole ʻole, kahi e hoʻāʻo ai e hūnā i ka ʻeha o ka wā i hala. Ua lilo ʻo Kaoru i ʻano mea ʻē ʻē, ʻo ka mea mua ma muli o kāna manasia eccentric, akā no kāna kuanaʻike o ka honua e huli i kēlā me kēia lā me ka hana maʻamau like.
Loaʻa iā Kaoru kahi kono kono hiki ʻole ke pale ʻia i kekahi lā. Makemake ʻo Sonoko e hele pū me ia. A ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke hōʻole, ʻoiai ka haki o ka ʻoiaʻiʻo a ka manaʻo e manaʻo ai, e haʻi ana kekahi mea iā ia e pono ke hāʻawi i kēlā kipi i mua o kāna hana maʻamau.
I kona hoʻokokoke ʻana aku iā Sonoko, ʻike mākou i nā hōʻoia o Karou no ka paʻa a me ka ʻokoʻa hoʻokahi e like me ia. Akā ma Iāpana ka mea ʻoiaʻiʻo e pili ana i ka hopena o ka poʻe e huli ʻia e kahi ʻulaʻula, kahi kaula i hoʻopili ʻia i kekahi manawa, e pili ana e pili ana iā ʻoe, e hoʻopaʻa a hoʻokuʻu iā ʻoe, e huikau iā ʻoe a me he mea lā e nakinaki iā ʻoe i ka wā i hala. , ʻoiai ʻike ʻoe i ka hopena ʻē aʻe, ʻo ka mea i pau i ka wāwae o kekahi kanaka, ʻo ka mea nāna i kaʻana like i kāu pae i nā manawa āpau, a hiki i ka manawa āu e ʻike ai iā lākou.
ʻOi aku paha ma mua o ka loaʻa ʻana o kā Karou i kahi wēlau o kāna pae ʻulaʻula. A ʻaʻohe mea like.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai i ka puke Māla o Sonoko, ka puke hou na David Crespo, eia:
Mahalo nui no kāu loiloi Mr. Herranz! Ua hauʻoli wau i ka ʻike ʻana ua makemake ʻoe i kaʻu puke moʻolelo.
