“Miyu, I’m sorry, but could you leave the house for a week or so? I have something important to do at home.”
Saying this, my mother hands me the money.
I know that my mother is trying to do something wrong at times like this.
But I don’t have the courage to condemn her for it.
“……Yeah, I understand.”
I answer with a smile as much as I can.
When this happens, I don’t go to a hotel, but stay at a nearby Internet cafe.
It is open 24 hours a day, and if I have free time, I can stay there for days by paying my bill every ten hours.
Hotels are cleaner and more comfortable, but Internet cafes are more fulfilling than hotels because you can drink as much as you want and eat as much as you want.
Today, I have already been here for three days.
I was thirsty, so I went to the drink bar,
“Oh ! I finally found you.”
“Stepfather……”
“You’re looking good, Miyu.”
My stepfather said with a smile.

“W-what is this?”
When I came home from school, Hananoi was in the living room for some reason.
I saw that my dad was also there, so it was probably my dad who brought her here.
“Hey, welcome back, Kenshiro.”
“Don’t act like nothing happened ! Why is Hananoi here?”
I can predict it.
That woman is involved, no doubt about it.
“What are you gonna do when you hear it?”
“No, it’s not—“
“It’s none of your business. I’ll take care of it, and you don’t have to do anything. You understand?”
Without a word, my dad and Hananoi left the living room.
Left behind, I called Sasagawa for the time being.
I see that she sends me a stamp of a relieved bear and close the screen of my phone.
My heart is racing.
Hananoi is at home, and I’m not sure where Wado’s brother is.
It’s probably confirmed that there is a connection between the two.
I wonder if my dad knows about this.
At least this information…
Thinking about it, I put my fist to my forehead.
“What the hell are you trying to do !”
My dad just told me.
I had nothing to do with it.
What if I go into Hananoi Misaki’s case myself and the trauma flares up again?
I’m a victim too, after all.
It’s best to leave this case to my dad.
That’s what I’m supposed to do……
(Why does this irritate me so much…..)
In the end, I couldn’t make any decision and time just passed.

“Like I said ! I’ll be fine !”
With that, the boy hangs up the phone from his mother.
“Are you sure about this? Misaki san.”
The boy looks at Hananoi Misaki, who is smiling kindly at him.
“Yes, what a good boy. Sota kun is such a good boy.”
Saying that, Hananoi Misaki gently hugged Wado Sota.
Sota blushed and looked a little happy.
“B-but is it really okay,……even though Mom was really mad……?”
“Don’t worry, this is just a game.”
“I-I see !”
“Yeah, so don’t worry about it. Come on, let’s have some fun with me.”
Hananoi Misaki and Sota left the living room.
