Chapter 1

When the lunch break was about to end, a man saw a live broadcast of a demonstration in Shinjuku on the employee cafeteria television. It was a protest demonstration against the armed intervention of developed countries against the internal conflict in the Middle East.

The man knew that many citizens were killed in the air strike, he felt that he couldn’t just stand around and do nothing so he jumped up and ran out of the company to speak up.

When the man arrived at the Shinjuku east exit, which was a relay station, no demo was found anywhere. The man ran looking for the street and thought he would find it soon because the broadcast said there was over 10,000 people.

However, even after running around the main street for an hour, he couldn’t even find any sign of the demo. “Where is the demonstration?” The man finally asked a passerby. Everyone avoided the man by frowning.


デモ

昼休みが終わろうとする頃、男は社員食堂のテレビで新宿でやっているというデモの中継を見かけた。中東で起きている内紛への、先進諸国の武力介入に対する抗議デモだった。

空爆で多くの市民が犠牲になっていることを知った男は、居ても立ってもいられない気持ちになり、自分も何か声をあげなければと会社を飛び出していった。

中継場所となっていた新宿東口に来てみると、デモはどこにも見当たらなかった。一万人を越える規模と言っていたからすぐに見つかるだろうと、男は通りを探して走り出した。

ところが、一時間かけてメインの通りを駆けずり回っても、デモの気配すら見つけることができなかった。「デモはどこでやってるんですか?」男はしまいに通行人に尋ねて回った。みんな眉をひそめて男を避けていった。
