It was a fine day. I was relaxing in the living room alone, which is rare for me, and I was thinking about something.
It was the beginning of the summer vacation when I went home. I had asked Fumikage to do something for me on my way home, but I hadn’t gotten the results back yet. It shouldn’t take too long to get the results of that thing. It’s not surprising that the results have already been sent. It’s hard to believe that Fumikage would forget about it. It’s only natural to think so.
“……No way”
I call Fumikage on my cell phone, and within two calls, Fumikage picks up the phone.
“Hey Fumikage, how are you? I’d like to ask you a few questions…….”
“What is it about ……? I will answer to the best of my ability.”
“……When will you get the results of that thing I asked you to do?”
“……, I can’t answer that question.”
My chest begins to flutter. The unpleasant feeling I’d never expected is growing closer and closer to reality.
“Why?… Surely it’s not like the results were such that you’re hesitant to tell me?”
“……”
“……I’m on my way over there now. You should be prepared.”

I quickly left home and returned to my parents’ house. I never expected to be back in such a short time.
I entered the mansion without hesitation and headed towards Fumikage, ignoring the surprised servants. Her room in the servants’ dormitory was unlocked.
“…… Hey Fumikage. You didn’t come, so I came.”
“R-reito-sama, …….”
Seeing me, she deliberately hid the paper she was holding behind her back.
“Look, even I’m going to notice if you hide it so carelessly. That’s the consequence, isn’t it? Give it to me.”
“…… no. I can’t give it to you”
“……after all”
“N-No, no!”
“…Fumikage. No matter what the outcome, I want to know the truth. That’s why I asked you. I knew that no matter what the outcome, you’d be on my side as always. …I’m asking you.”
“…… No. No matter what the reason, this …… is not the way to go.”
Fumikage, who is always cool-headed, was distraught, and I somehow guessed what was going on.
I gently took the paper from Fumikage’s hand, who didn’t want to take it. Then, I read through the text on the paper.
I somehow knew what was going on. I had guessed. Still, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of astonishment.

From then on, my actions were quick. I ran out of the servants’ dormitory and headed for my father’s room, ignoring the perplexed servants.
As expected, I saw my father with a pouty face as usual, and I walked into his room.
“…… Reito. When did you come back? If you’re coming back, call me in advance. ……”
“What the hell is this?!”
I slammed the paper down in front of my dad.
I had asked Fumikage for a DNA test. The results of the DNA test were written on the paper. And this is the paper with the results. I asked Fumikage, who is always around my dad and has access to my mom, to do it. I know it’s on the edge of legality to do this without her consent, but I don’t care.
My father’s pupils trembled slightly, as if he was upset by the truth contained in this one piece of paper. I stared at him with the same pouty face that never changes.
“Where did you get this ……?”
“…Why? Why?! Why are our blood related to each other and not my mother’s?!”
The results were absolutely brutal. I was a DNA match for my father, but not for my mother.
What this meant was that I was not my mother’s son, but the child of my father and someone else.
“How could you take my dreams away from me and still hide this fact from me ……?”
“……”
“…… say something. Make an excuse. Just brush it to the side and ignore it like you always do.”
“……, I’m sorry.”
“…… What the hell is that? What the hell is that?!”
I slammed the desk again. I was still not able to get my father to break his usual Buddhist face. That fact made me even more angry, so I ran out of the room.
I ran out of the room to see the Fumikage who had been chasing me. I asked Fumikage, who looked as if she was about to cry, if I was one step too late.
“Fumikage, I have one more question for you. There’s one more thing I want to ask you. The maid who used to be my mother’s maid. Where is she?”
“……”
“……Please”
“……Wait a minute”
I received a piece of paper from her, and then I fled the mansion.
