The Godfather

After they buried Hinata Fisherman told his name was Haruto "my father said my name means soar or to fly high but see me I'm poor fisherman this is reality of world you need to accept as it is now I can't argue with anyone why I'm not rich or powerful it's in our hands who we want to be forget about your past I don't want to know what is your past but I wish to see your bright future"

Shota's eyes filled with tears he replied "Thanks uncle for your support and encouragement but still your analogy and way of explanation is too bad" they laughed lightly.

Shota asked Haruto why are you so positive all the time.

Haruto took him to Shrine of Lord Ebisu he said " his name is Ebisu also Kotoshiro-nushi-no-kami  he is the the god of fishermen and luck. He is one of the 7 Gods of Fortune I believe in him  it's said he was born with no bones so couldn't even stand so he was send to sea then Ebisu first arose as a God among fishermen, after the worship of him had spread to merchants and farmers.

that's something zero to God he inspires me to overcome my pain."

"Oh I see, anyways this explanation was better than earlier one and it is also relatable"

they laughed again.

Haruto asked Shota will he work with him as fisherman though they were not earning much but still he said he will adopt Shota as he had no children. Shota started to learn fishing with Haruto and helped him lot and he also played flute while Haruto was selling fish listening soothing flute many people gave him few Yens and blessed him this became his daily routine.

Years and years passed now Shota was young man. He went to Lord Ebisu's shrine and prayed for Haruto because now Haruto was old sick man lying on bed. Haruto was still bachelor his younger brother shifted to town and didn't contacted him for years.

Haruto called Shota and said "Behind that small mountain their is another village go there and ask for man named Hiroshi" and he passed away.

Now Shota had money and experience of fishing so he could live his rest of life on his own legs.
