“I forgot to ask, how do you feel about your parents?”
“How do I feel about them?”
“Maybe you hate them, loathe them, distrust them?”
“So that’s what you mean.”
How do you think I feel about my mom and dad?
I’m sad that they don’t trust me.
But I’m sure that no matter what I say now, those two people will never listen to me because they trust Runa.
“I don’t wanna be with them anymore. Besides, if this false rumor is exposed, I don’t want them to act as my parents anymore.”
“I’m sure you don’t. Then let’s go to court.”
“Why a court?”
Why would a court case come up in this conversation?
I don’t think there’s anything to go to court over.
“What your parents are doing is, to put it bluntly, child neglect. It’s a crime. That’s why I’ve asked one of my lawyers to represent the minor. Of course, in the process of doing so, it will be discovered that your parents are neglecting their child, and they may even arrest them, but is that okay with you?”
“……Okay. I’ll be prepared.”
I have learned from this incident that what Mom and Dad cared about was not us kids, but the public’s perception of them.
I don’t want to leave Misora in such an environment.
“Got it. Once you turn 18 and become an adult, you can be Misora san’s representative. Then, I will proceed with the necessary procedures.”
“Thank you. Amane san.”
“Don’t mention it. It’s something I like to do.”
“I’ve always wondered, Amane san, is your tone different from when we first met?”
When we first met, I think her tone was more frank.
But now her tone is normal and not too frank.
“Because at that time, I thought you might kill yourself, so I was very careful to be as cheerful as possible. But now I don’t feel that much risk from you, so I’ve just gone back to being myself. It’s easier this way. Did you like me better before?”
“I don’t mean that. It’s just that I was curious, and it has nothing to do with my preference. I think Amane san is an attractive girl.”
“Are you really doing that?”
“Hm? Doing what?”
Am I saying something weird now?
Judging by the way Amane san was sighing in astonishment, I must have done something wrong.
“People who say things like that to me usually have an ulterior motive, but I don’t sense that from you at all. I think this might be the first time I’ve ever been complimented honestly. Thank you.”
“Uh, yeah. You’re welcome?”
I have no idea what Amane san is thanking me for.
But she seems a little happy, so I guess it’s okay.
“Well, it will probably take more than a week for the procedure to be completed, so we don’t have to do it right away. Until then, you can go to school with me, okay?”
“Of course. I’ll go with you even after the court case is over. That’s the deal.”
“Fufu, that’s true. Now, is it about time for Misora san to get here?”
“I guess.”
Before I knew it, we had been talking for almost two hours.
It takes about 30 minutes to get to my house from here, and it probably took Misora about an hour to pack her bags, so it’s been exactly two hours.
It was about time for her to come.
“Speak of the devil, she’s here. I’ll open the door now.”
The intercom rings and the camera shows Misora.
Amane san opens the entrance door, and a few moments later the intercom rings, this time at the front door.
“I’ll go open the door. Amane san, please sit down.”
“No, I’ll go with you. The three of us should take a look at the room for Misora san?”
“Really? Then shall we go together?”
“Yes.”
The two of us stood up and opened the door to greet Misora.
“I’m sorry I’m late. I brought my luggage !”
“Isn’t it pretty small?”
“No, as expected, this is the most I can bring at one time.”
Misora had brought one suitcase and one sports bag.
I thought Misora would bring more.
My expectations were not met.
“Well, I’m gonna show you around first because I don’t know how long we’ll be talking at the door. Follow me.”
“Y-yes.”
“Don’t be so nervous, okay?”
Amane san asked her with a chuckle, amused to see Misora looking so nervous.
“Well, it’s not like that, but I don’t know what to call you, and since you’ve treated me so well, I don’t think it’s okay to be cheeky.”
Misora looked away awkwardly.
Yeah.I understand how you feel.
I was so nervous at first that I used honorifics, but I was forbidden to do so.
“You don’t have to worry about that. You’re humble like Sora here. As for me, yes. You can call me Towa.”
“Since calling you by your first name is a bit much, can I call you Towa Nee san?”
“Sounds good. Misora san. I don’t have any siblings, so this is new for me.”
Amane san smiled happily.
Does she not have any close friends before?
Well, it’s probably bad to ask these things, so I won’t.
I’m sure she’ll get angry with me.
“Then, from now on, I’ll call you Towa Nee san ! You don’t have to use honorifics with me either.”
“Hmmm. I’ll refrain from that. But instead, can I call you Misora chan?”
“Of course ! Please take care of me from now on. Towa Nee san !”
“Yes. Of course, Misora chan.”
I was relieved to see that the two of them seemed to have gotten to know each other quickly.
Amane san seemed kind of happy, which was nice.
“Then, I’ll show you your room. This way.”
“Please !”
Thus, the three of us looked around Misora’s room.
I also helped her unpack her bags, and the time passed quickly.
“Then, I’m gonna prepare dinner. I’ll call you when it’s ready, so please wait, okay?”
“No, no, no ! ! I’ll help you, too. I feel bad that you’ve done this far for me and I can’t just sit back and do nothing.”
“Misora chan really does look like Sora. You don’t need to worry about it. I’m gonna ask you to help me someday, but for today, you and your brother should take it easy. Misora chan must have been worried all day yesterday, and there are things that need to be talked about with your brother, right? ”
Amane san looked at me as she said this.
(Please tell Misora chan about your parents.)
I think she is saying that.
No, she is probably appealing to me with her eyes.
“I see. Thank you for your concern.”
“It’s fine. I’m going back to my room. If you need anything, please call me. Bye.”
“With that, we were left alone in the room.”
