Maybe it was false information
David: Yoko, you’re becoming faster at typing on the keyboard.
Yoko: To keep up with the times, I’m starting a blog in the spring.
David: Incredible! By the way….
Yoko: Oh, yes. You were worried about the redevelopment of Satoyama Ravine. There was nothing about it on the town’s homepage.
David: Maybe it was false information.
Yoko: I think it just hasn’t been decided. According to the December edition of the Mayor’s Records, it says, “The mayor and members of the regional development board inspected the closed town hotel.”
David: There’s a picture. Mr. Aoki is in there.
Yoko: If you want to know what’s going on, you should ask the people in this picture. I’ll ask them for you.
