#272 Extra 3 - My Father

2025-01-04 07:00:44"Don't throw the water away. It's challenging to reheat the water.
Ryu regretted that Kyoko had just spat out the warm water. With limited resources, Ryu had to heat it using a bottle, being cautious not to break it.
But Kyoko didn't care about the water. Wiping her lips, she looked at Ryu, who had already sat back down. His face was calm, showing no sign of the madness Kyoko had initially assumed when he mentioned marriage.
"Has the cold air shrunk your brain?" Kyoko asked with a puzzled look.
"It's cold this morning, but my brain is fine. This fire kept me warm last night."
Ryu pointed to the fireplace, which smelled even more delicious as the rabbit meat was nearly cooked.
"If your brain is still functioning normally, why do you talk like you're drunk? What is the connection between marriage and murder?" Kyoko was on the verge of losing her temper, but her curiosity outweighed everything else.
Ryu laughed at the irony of Kyoko thin

“He was sentenced to twenty-five years for attempted murder.”Ryu sat in front of Kenji, reporting the results of Karin's trial to Kenji, who was holding Natsu. He brushed away a cherry blossom petal caught in Natsu's hair.“I told you not to discuss bad things while I'm with Natsu,” Kenji hissed.He had a new rule: forbidding anyone from discussing anything related to violence or negative matters while he was with Natsu.Not that the baby, who was less than five months old, would understand, but that didn't make Kenji care any less. He still asked everyone to be cautious.“But I’m sharing positive news. This is about Karin being sentenced. It’s not a negative thing,” Ryu countered.“Anything related to that snake woman is rotten, and... Just make sure that twenty-five turns into a lot longer—regardless of whether she behaves well or not. You just arrange it,” Kenji said.

"Hmm..." Ryu let out a hum of curiosity."What is it that you want to say? Just say it." Kyoko wasn’t angry, just tense.It was her first time returning home after nearly eight years, and the circumstances were not good. Kyoko needed to calm herself before they entered the house."You lived in a shrine?"Ryu pointed at the Torii—the red Shinto gate that marked the boundary between the sacred area and the human dwelling, located near where they had stopped, just as Kyoko had directed.They had flown to Fukuoka that morning, as it was quite a distance from Osaka. Ryu doubted Kyoko would stop just anywhere, but he definitely wasn’t prepared to stop in front of a shrine."Yes, I used to live there." Kyoko got out of the car, and Ryu followed, glancing around.The shrine was near the sea. Aside from the smell, Ryu could even hear the waves crashing as they climbed the short staircase."I’m surprised," Ryu adm

Megumi shook her head, smiling as she heard Ryu's excuse.“No wonder you guys didn’t have time to inform us before arriving here,” she said. Of course, Ryu’s excuse fit perfectly with the situation, where they had to rush into marriage.“Right, that’s true…” Ryu smiled while taking Kyoko’s hand and holding it. Her hand was, of course, very cold.“Do you want to sit inside, or maybe go to the doctor?”Ryu offered what sounded like a normal suggestion, but he was actually asking Kyoko for her opinion on what they should do. Should they go or stay and continue with their plans?“Let’s just sit inside. I’ll be fine,” Kyoko said. Although she felt terrible, Kyoko didn’t want to back down. She didn’t want their visit to be in vain.“Okay... Right. Let’s hurry and rest inside. I’ll make you some ginger tea. It should help with the nausea.” Megumi waved for them to go inside first.Shuji—Kyoko’s father—was seen standing in front of the door,

Kyoko eyed the figure lying on its side on the ship's deck with its eyes closed. She said nothing, but seeing him so helpless like that didn’t make her feel nauseous anymore.There was no chance that man could hurt her, and her nausea vanished, even though the place she was standing kept swaying due to the high waves.“Damn it!” Ryu cursed, which surprised her. He rarely cursed, but this time he felt compelled to do so due to his seasickness. Ryu had never been on a ship before in his life, and now he realized it was a terrible idea. After this, he swore he’d never travel by sea again."Weak," Kenji mocked, even as he extended a seasickness pill to him.“Huh? You brought this?” Ryu was obviously shocked.“No. I found it over there. You share the same ailment as whoever usually rides this ship.” Kenji gestured towards the supply box that was located near the helm.“Oh. Not feeling touched anymore.” Ryu had almost felt moved by Kenji’s gesture

"I... don't... forgive me..." Shuji whimpered again."You apologize because you know you’ve done something wrong." Ryu stepped forward, pulling out his phone to record everything Shuji was about to say."You hid that wrongdoing for so long, never admitting it, leaving her traumatized for life, giving her nightmares, and even stopping Kyoko from being able to see her mother again."Ryu listed Shuji's sins, causing him to whimper once more. Apart from 'damaging' Kyoko's body, the damage to her mind was much harder to heal. What Shuji had done completely changed Kyoko’s life, erasing her original nature and leaving behind only a bitter and sharp version of Kyoko to face the world.But in Shuji’s world, nothing changed. He remained the respected head of a large temple, honored by many. There was no turning point in his life at all."Do you realize that?

After walking for quite some time, Kyoko finally found the main occupants of the mansion near the central garden. Akiko was playing with Natsu in the middle of the garden."Kyoko-chan!" Akiko waved at her, while Natsu, standing in front of her, suddenly plopped down on the ground. But the baby didn’t cry; he turned and smiled brightly, greeting Kyoko like he would his mother."Hi... kid."Kyoko greeted him casually while ruffling Natsu's hair. She wasn’t very fond of children. Unlike Ryu—or Yui, who hated the idea of pregnancy but became attached to Natsu the moment he entered the world—Kyoko still didn’t know how to act around children.She didn’t dislike Natsu, but she didn’t force herself to be enthusiastic either. Natsu didn’t seem to mind that attitude. Kyoko noticed that he would always run towards her every time she visited.Kyoko was grateful for that. At least it seemed the child would be fri

"Please, come in."After recovering from his surprise, Yuto led them into the living room of his house. Akiko looked around.The house wasn’t large. At least, that’s how Akiko felt. After living in Osaka, her perception of a large home had definitely changed. A regular-sized house now felt too small to her. Still, it looked cozy and clean.The house had a traditional style, reminding Akiko a little of Miura’s house in Utoro. But her observations were cut short when Kyoko pulled her hand to sit down.Kyoko was releasing her frustration. She had been glaring at Yuto, who seemed uncomfortable because of it."This is really a surprise," Yuto said, deciding to ignore Kyoko and smiling at Akiko."I just wanted to ask you something. So… I asked Shibata-san to bring me here."Akiko gestured to Shibata, who was sitting a little further back. She clarified this so Yuto wouldn't perceive the visit as unduly significant.

Akiko adjusted herself in front of the mirror, gazing at the new kimono she would wear the day after tomorrow.The kimono was custom-made for her, so naturally, it fit perfectly. But Akiko wanted to see if the color matched her expectations. And indeed, everything was perfect.

Akiko had even prepared hair accessories filled with cherry blossom designs to complete the look.She wasn’t wearing the hairpiece yet, but when she tried placing it on her head, the pink color matched perfectly with her black hair. Everything was set. She had also prepared clothes for Natsu and Kenji.BANG!Akiko flinched and dropped the hair accessory she was holding.

"I want to go home."Kyoko suddenly spoke up just as Akiko finished applying pink lipstick to her lips.“Huh? Why? Did you forget something?” Akiko straightened up, confused, as she glanced at the kimono Kyoko would be wearing.Kyoko's kimono was simpler, with only a hair ornament as an accessory. It wasn’t as elaborate as the one Akiko had worn when she got married in Utoro.Ryu had planned for their wedding to be similar to Akiko’s, but they had compromised for a more modest ceremony at the city hall. Ryu knew Kyoko's feelings about temple buildings, so he wouldn't dare force anything. Besides, the reception would still happen; just the ceremony would be different.Nobody objected to the decision. Everyone agreed as long as the wedding took place, including Akiko. Even though her expensive kimono was a bit much for a city hall wedding, she was still happily helping Kyoko.“Everything's ready. I just need to pu

“You must be crazy!” Kyoko stood up and paced back and forth in the living room, trying to recall if there was any sign that Ryu wasn’t serious.But everything was serious. Ryu had even sent her a photo of the kimono he would wear on their wedding day. When Kyoko saw the photo, she thought Ryu was insane, as discussing kimono patterns would escalate their deception.In the end, Kyoko made her choice, wanting to end the pointless discussion. But it turned out that the discussion was important.“Are you just going to sit there?!” Kyoko yelled angrily, glaring at Ryu, who was calmly sipping beer and munching on peanuts he had brought earlier.“What do you want me to do?” Ryu frowned.“Cancel everything! Call them all! Cancel it!” Kyoko sat back down next to Ryu and then attacked him, reaching for his waist.“Hey, wait! Don’t get aggressive all of a sudden,” Ryu was, of cour

Ryu shook his head, while effortlessly unlocking Kyoko's apartment door once more by simply inputting her birthday—the day after tomorrow.He had repeatedly reminded Kyoko to change the password, which was extremely easy to guess. Not just once—like when he first broke in to find the listening device—but several times since.Now, Kyoko no longer lives in Tokyo. Since becoming actively involved in Kuryugumi and assisting Kenji and Ryu, Kyoko had relocated to Osaka, where she now primarily worked.However, Kyoko hadn't been working regularly since visiting her parents, and no one was pressuring her to do so either. Kenji didn’t give any orders, leaving everything up to Ryu.The apartment’s security was truly weak, especially since there was still no sound, despite Ryu walking into the room for several moments. It was evident that Kyoko had fallen asleep due to the late hour. Ryu had come straight to the apartment after returnin
