On holidays, the air in the Shinonome household was dominated by a hellish atmosphere.
When I woke up in the morning and left my room, I found my younger sister standing in front of the door with her arms raised.
She seemed to be wondering whether she should knock or not, and when her eyes met mine, she started to say something with her mouth agape.
“O-O-Onii…..”
“You’re in the way. Could you move away?”
“…”
“Get out of my way.”
I pushed her out of the way and went downstairs.
My sister was saying something behind me, but I didn’t stop and went down the stairs.
When did she change my nickname from [criminal] to [Onii chan]?
Not so long ago, when she saw me, he used to call me a criminal at the first word and then she used to hurl a lot of abusive words at me.
Well, I don’t care anymore.
I have nothing to say to her.
“Ah…”
“Tohru…”
When I went down to the living room, my parents, who had been talking with a gloomy look on their faces, looked up.
When they saw me, they stood up in a panic, pulled a chair for me at the table, and asked me to sit down.
“L-look…here.”
“I made it for Tohru…”
On the table was a very lavish meal.
My parents were looking at me, rubbing their hands and smiling.
“T-this was expensive, you know?”
“Your mother worked hard all morning to make it, so it’s……you know?”
They were appealing to me about the cost and time and effort they had put into the dish, saying how expensive it was and how hard they had worked.
They seem to be trying to put me in a good mood with the meal.
They were going to pretend that the fact that they had called their own son a criminal, and that they had worked together to hunt me down, didn’t matter just because they served me an expensive meal one time.
Of course, I would not play into their hands.
I don’t even want to talk to my parents anymore.
I no longer considered them family.
I no longer trusted them completely, because they had treated me like a criminal rather than protecting me during the most difficult time of my life.
I couldn’t bring myself to eat food prepared by these people.
“I don’t need it.”
[ […!?] ]
When I said that, both of them peeled their eyes off.
“Although you made this for me, I’m going out to eat with my friends.”
“That’s…..”
“Don’t be like that, Tohru ! ! Your mother worked so hard to make this for, you know !? For you !”
“Hmm? Why did you suddenly start cooking for me today? Until recently, you didn’t make me dinner, lunch, or breakfast, right? So I thought maybe you didn’t cook for me today either, so I made a promise to go out to eat with my friends.”
[ […] ]
The expression on my parents’ faces turns bitter.
They are unable to say anything back to me, and their mouths are gaping.
“Then, I’m going out to eat with my friends.”
“Ah, wait.”
“Wait, Tohru ! !”
My parents get up from their seats and call me to stop.
I ignore them, put on my shoes, and walk out the front door.
Ding dong.
“…?”
“Eh…?
“Oh…?”
At that timing, someone pressed the intercom.
“Um, sorry. Is this Shinonome san’s house?
“Who is it?”
When I opened the door, there was a strange man standing outside.
He didn’t look like a delivery service man.
He might be a colleague from my father’s work.
I asked him who or what he was.
“Ah…are you…possibly !”
“….?”
The man looks at me and makes a face as if he has found something he wants to show off.
I wondered if we had met somewhere before.
When I tilted my head, the man pulled out his business card and handed it to me in a hurry
“I’m Saito of the 00 Newspaper, and I was wondering if I could interview you about the incident that happened at the Kisaragi home…?”
“Are you a newspaper reporter….?”
“Yes, that’s right. I won’t take up too much of your time, so please let me interview you…”
“Interview….”
I hesitated for a while.
There’s nothing particularly wrong with me, so I thought it would be okay to tell a little bit of the story.
There was still some time until the time to meet Risa, who I had promised to have a meal with.
I had committed no crime in that incident, and I was willing to be interviewed by a newspaper reporter to reinforce the facts.
“Okay. Fine.”
“Hey, you ! What the hell are you doing coming in here without permission !?”
As I was about to give the OK for the interview, my father came rushing in from the back of the house as if in a panic.
“What are you doing !?”
“I’m Saito of the 00 Newspaper, and I’d like to interview you…..about the Kisaragi family case.”
“It’s troubling ! ! Get out of here ! !”
The reporter Saito tilted his head at my father’s flustered look.
“What’s the matter? Do you have something to hide regarding this case?”
“….!?”
My father became visibly impatient.
Saito looked at the notebook in his hand.
“I heard that your son was the victim of a false accusation in this case. I was wondering if I could interview him about it…..”
“T-there’s nothing to report…! Get out of here ! ! !”
“Like I said, why are you being so inpatient? Your son is a victim in this case, and he has nothing to be ashamed of. My interview will certainly reinforce the fact that your son is a victim, don’t you think?”
Saito said as he looked at me and my father alternately.
“T-there’s nothing to be ashamed of…..but it’s annoying for you to come to me out of the blue ! ! Ah, you’ll at least have to make an appointment…”
“I see. Can you let me know when we can talk at a later date?”
“T-that’s…”
Saito took out his notebook to make a note.
My father’s forehead was dripping with sweat and he became visibly impatient.
I saw the look on my father’s face and somehow guessed what he was afraid of.
“It’s okay, I’m fine.”
“Tohru !?”
I said to Saito, stepping in front of my father.
“I would love for you to interview me. As you probably already know, I am Shinonome Tohru, who was one of the parties involved in the case. I was deceived by Kisaragi that day, falsely accused, and violently attacked by her father. I would like you to disclose that fact again, Saito san.”
“Yes, if you agree to be interviewed, we will definitely be able to put your story in the newspaper.”
“I see. I would be very grateful. Please come in and ask me anything you want.”
“H-hey, Tohru !? What are you doing !?”
“Hm? What’s wrong, Dad? Is there something you don’t want me to say?”
“….”
“You can once again let the world know that your son is a victim, right? There’s no reason to turn Saito san away here, is there?”
“…uh, t-that’s true, but…”
“Please come in, Saito san. I’ll tell you everything I know about the case.”
“Thank you very much. Well, then, feel free to tell me your story.”
I pushed past my parents, who looked uncomfortable, and invited Saito san into the house.

I love this shit so much
What a way to keep His Parents and Lil’ Sis at bay by getting interviewed by Saito-San from The OO Newspaper. Hope Tohru reveal everything about How he got set up by that backstabbing, manipulative, toxic, incestuous Thot and Her also incestuous douchebag, degenerate, deadbeat, pathetic excuse of a Man that is Her Father. Give ’em no mercy, Tohru-San. Crush down Those degenerate Kisaragis or crush all of Them.
Now what i hope he do is reveal the mistreatment and abuse he suffered by his not family, scum classmates and scum club, don’t be a coward and do it, they deserve every bit of it.
Agree. Tohru must use this chance to reveal the truth about Him being accused by both His Family, Classmates, Club Members without They having evidence and only listen to That Thot of Kisaragi’s comments while disregarding to listen to His Side of The facts.
