Unleashing Talent

Encouraged by Hashi's impressive demonstration with the radio, Mr. Tanaka mustered the confidence to ask, "Can you repair this fan as well?"

Hashi, fueled by his recent success, replied with a newfound determination, "Yes, Mr. Tanaka, I can repair the fan for you."

The broken fan stood in the corner of the room, its blades motionless and a sense of abandonment surrounding it. Hashi carefully examined the fan's condition, taking note of its flaws.

Hashi placed the fan in front of the all-weather repairing tool and initiated the scanning process. The tool's screen displayed an alert message:

[_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-]

Motor has issues,

wiring is broken.

[_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-]

Undeterred by the fan's state, Hashi confidently activated the tool. From the depths of the device, a swarm of twenty insect-like machines emerged, their purpose clear. They swiftly infiltrated the fan, meticulously repairing its motor and fixing the broken wiring.

After a few moments, the tiny machines retreated, and Hashi took a step back. He reached for the fan's switch, his heart pounding with anticipation. As he flipped it on, a gentle breeze filled the room, accompanied by the comforting hum of the fan in motion.

Mr. and Mrs. Tanaka looked at each other, astounded by Hashi's skills. They spoke in unison, their voices filled with awe, "Sato, you truly are talented."

Expressing their gratitude, they handed Hashi a small envelope containing 3000 yen. Hashi accepted the payment with a humble smile, knowing it was a modest sum but a meaningful validation of his abilities.

Hashi discreetly stowed the money in his inventory, determined to keep his newfound earnings a secret from his family. He knew that sharing the news might burden his parents further, and he wanted to surprise them with his achievements when the time was right.

With the evening descending and his parents expected home soon, Hashi realized it was time to return to his own house. He bid farewell to the Tanaka couple, expressing his intention to continue helping others in need.

As he made his way home, the fading light of the day accompanied him. Hashi's mind was filled with a mix of satisfaction and anticipation for the future. He knew that his journey had only just begun, and there were many more broken appliances and grateful neighbors waiting to discover his remarkable talents.

Back at his house, Hashi prepared a simple meal for his family, keeping his newfound earnings and remarkable encounters to himself for now. As he cooked, he reflected on the events of the day, feeling a sense of purpose and excitement for the path he had chosen.
