#270 Story About Us
Last Updated:
2024-12-31 07:00:46Akiko initially didn’t want to follow them outside because she was too lazy to move, but after waiting for several minutes with no result, she finally stood up and walked out.
There was a noisy conversation coming from outside, but Akiko only saw Kyoko and Shibata standing and staring at a car that had just arrived.
Akiko recognized the car, and a bright smile spread across her face. She moved forward and saw Kenji standing next to the car.
Akiko wanted to call out but stopped when she noticed his awkward expression, clearly forcing a smile. Akiko immediately smiled in amusement, knowing exactly who was in front of him. Miura was talking to him.
Still stifling her laughter, Akiko approached, knowing that Kenji likely needed help dealing with Miura’s scolding.
In the past two months, Kenji has visited the house several times. However, Miura had never had the opportunity to meet him, as his visits usually occurred late at night.

"Ishida? Who is Ishida? Who is Abe?" Akiko frowned, hearing unfamiliar names come out of Kenji's mouth."Ishida… Wait a minute." Doubt crept back into Kenji’s mind, especially as he remembered how much pain Akiko felt whenever she talked about her parents."How?" Akiko, impatient, tried to sit up, but Kenji held her down gently with an embrace, stroking her head."Just stay like this. I need you close to me," Kenji said, wanting to think as clearly as possible."What are you trying to say? What do you want to tell me?" Akiko stayed still but was clearly curious about those strange names."All of those names are part of a promise I made. I promised to tell you what really happened—why you had to leave Osaka, right?" Kenji replied.Convincing Akiko to leave Osaka for over two months had been no simple task. All of Kenji’s attempts and lies had failed to sway her, especially with Akiko’s pregnancy drawing closer t

“Karin... she’s my aunt, isn’t she? My mother’s family?” Akiko repeated the question, finding it difficult to imagine her mother's sibling harboring the hatred Kenji had mentioned.“Yes. She’s your mother’s younger sister.”“But why does she hate me?”“I don’t know. I never asked. All I know is that she's cruel, and you don't need to see her or seek her out."Kenji was already making plans to ensure Akiko would never find her. He intended to send Karin far away, even farther than Abe.“Why is she cruel? She’s my aunt. We’re family.”In Akiko’s mind, family was supposed to love one another. She couldn't grasp the idea that family members could hate each other, especially now that they were alone.Akiko had only recently discovered her family on her father’s side, who were all gone now, and she’d hoped that Karin might

Ishikawa's sharp gaze was uncharacteristic of him, given his usual calm demeanor. Among the other clans, Ishikawa was known for not demanding much.But of course, Kenji didn’t care. He bowed as usual, showing respect to his elders. Kenji also bowed to the stranger he was meeting in person for the first time.The man, older than Ishikawa, might have been scrutinizing Kenji—evaluating him—but Kenji didn’t need to return the same level of scrutiny because he already knew who the man was.The man with more wrinkles than Abe was Kawamoto, a member of the Tensei clan. Although he didn't come from the main family, like Abe, he remained one of the most influential.Kenji already knew who he was, having speculated and gathered information about the prominent families within Tensei. Kawamoto was one of them. Kenji’s prediction wasn’t far off—Kawamoto would be Abe’s successor.And they were the only ones t

Kenji was, of course, in a panic. Akiko’s due date was still two weeks away. That’s why he had wanted to relax in Utoro just yesterday. After all, they still had time.But when Yui informed him that Akiko was about to give birth, panic naturally overcame him. He asked Shibata to break all traffic rules—Shibata didn't—to get to the hospital faster. The problem was that the meeting with the other clan had been held outside of Osaka. It would take about two hours before Kenji could get to the hospital.Kenji ran according to Inoue’s directions—since his mind had gone blank—until he found the room guarded by Kojima and Takeda at the door.Kenji opened the door and saw Akiko lying on the bed—but with a huge smile on her face.That smile lifted most of Kenji’s worry. If Akiko could smile, it meant she was okay.“You… Wasn’t it supposed to be two more weeks? Wh-why now? Is everything&h

Akiko slowly adjusted the blanket covering Natsu’s body. She had wanted Natsu to get a little sunlight, but the spring morning sun wasn’t very bright, and the air had turned too cold.So, Akiko decided to pull the blanket snugly around Natsu again.Natsu squirmed in protest, feeling confined once more, but didn’t cry. The child was very calm.Yui had mentioned there were still a few weeks left before Natsu would become a disturbance to their peaceful sleep. Yui advised Akiko to rest while she could before that time came.Akiko smiled as she watched Natsu yawn, his little red lips puckering adorably.“You’re so handsome,” Akiko said, gently tracing her fingers around Natsu’s lips to check if he was hungry. But Natsu closed his eyes again—Akiko had just fed him about half an hour ago.Akiko felt grateful once more for her abundant breast milk. Yesterday, Akiko expressed concern when she obs

Kenji stood beside Akiko, watching as Karin slowly covered her mouth. Her eyes scanned Kenji from head to toe."Yes, it's me. We meet again. Finally," said Kenji.After a moment of reflection, Kenji suddenly realized that his last meeting with Karin had been a long time ago—ever since Karin had asked for a divorce.Although they hadn’t met in a long while, everything Karin had done made Kenji feel as though she had never left."You... Kuryugumi..." Karin muttered in disbelief."Yes, that's right," Kenji answered briefly, signaling Shibata, who immediately moved a wheelchair closer to Akiko. Natsu had calmed down since the shouting had stopped—Kenzo, too."Go inside," Kenji said calmly to Akiko, but she refused."No." Akiko remained intent on asking Karin a question, her gaze fixed on her."Don't. You don't need to hear anything from her." Kenji gently stroked Akiko’s head, trying to persuade her. He didn

Karin actually wanted to respond to Kenji's objection, but the words got stuck on her tongue when she saw Akiko's hand gesture calming Kenji.The gesture wasn't obvious, but Karin's eyes followed every detail of how Kenji closed his mouth because of that small touch. In truth, that small gesture hurt more than Kenji's words, making her realize even more that from the beginning, she had no chance to be with him.Karin accepted the marriage, believing Kenji would eventually turn to her, which made her act like the perfect wife at the start of their marriage.Kenji never spoke harshly or yelled at her, let alone insulted her outright, and Karin thought that behavior was a positive start. But now she realizes that Kenji wasn’t being kind back then. He just didn’t consider her important enough to pay attention to.It was the epitome of neglect, far worse than anger or harsh words. If he had become angry or uttered harsh words, Kenji would have at l

"We should have taken care of her first before dealing with Abe yesterday."Ryu commented after hearing Kenji's account of what transpired at the hospital. Ryu had just arrived in Osaka, arriving nearly simultaneously with Kenji and Akiko, who had recently returned from the hospital."Abe was more dangerous because he threatened Akiko's life. Once he began inquiring about Ishida, I couldn't wait any longer. It was too risky for Akiko." Kenji didn’t feel wrong for dealing with Abe first."Well, at least the damage wasn’t too severe," Ryu said, thinking of how Akiko remained unharmed."It’s not severe because I haven’t talked to Akiko since we got back. The severity will change once we talk." Kenji sighed. He knew Akiko would be angry when they finally talked."Just use the ‘I’m sick’ card to get some sympathy from her. Her anger won’t last long if she knows you’re not well."Ryu pointed to
