Chapter 8 - Mother, Mother, Mother

In the large office building floor, only two people were present, light and shadow intermingling, the heat of their battle filling the space with no room for anything else to exist.

The nine-sectioned whip in Itou Yoshihiro's hand never stopped, either hovering around his body or soaring aggressively into the distance, waiting for an opportunity to attack any opening where his opponent could get a shot. Watanabe Gengou, on the other hand, only dodged and defended one-sidedly, occasionally trying to break into Itou Yoshihiro's side, but was immediately forced back by Itou Yoshihiro's returning nine-section whip and appropriate body techniques.

It seems that Itou Yoshihiro is overwhelming Watanabe Gengou, but Watanabe Gengou looks much more relaxed than Itou Yoshihiro, his breathing is very even and the rhythm of his movements is not disordered, on the contrary, Itou Yoshihiro, his chest is rising and falling violently with his breathing, and the collar of his shirt is soaked with sweat.

Itou Yoshihiro is suppressing Watanabe Gengou, this is only the appearance of the situation, but the essence is that Itou Yoshihiro used a lot of methods can not hurt Watanabe Gengou, and Watanabe Gengou is little by little to adapt to Itou Yoshihiro's way of attack, shuttle between the chains of the nine-section whip with ease.

Although Itou Yoshihiro repeatedly hinted that he was not Ziongzong, but the guy had been up all night, blowing a whole night of cold wind physical exertion, and will not disappear because of such a self-reference.

Self-suggestion is just a lie that will be broken at the first poke.

He, Itou Yoshihiro, is approaching the limit of his physical strength little by little.

--He had to take a risk.

Without the slightest hesitation, Itou Yoshihiro raised his hand and threw out the nine-section whip, while lowering his body and rushing towards Watanabe Gengou, who chose to avoid the head of the whip that was flying towards him, but the head of the whip could not actually hit him, because halfway through, Itou Yoshihiro stopped the nine-section whip with his supporting hand and folded it twice together, turning it into a three-section stick mode for melee combat.

Itou Yoshihiro succeeded in getting in front of Watanabe Gengou while he was in a state of evasive hardness.

He staggered back a few steps and was still unsteady, when the three-sectioned stick that was spinning at high speed on Itou Yoshihiro's right hand landed on his shoulder, breaking his left shoulder . At the same time, his right foot kicked him sideways in the abdomen, sending him flying to the desk before he could regain his balance.

He only heard the whistling sound of the chains passing through the air and instinctively rolled away to the side, and then the spot where he was lying was split by the nine-sectioned whip that had been reopened into nine sections.

Determined to end the stalemate in this attack, Itou Yoshihiro did not leave any mercy to Watanabe Gengou, cruelly and calmly pursued the fight.

That soft-hearted Ziongzong who saved Mizuo, in this moment Itou Yoshihiro can not find a trace of gentleness in his body.

--swinging whip method.

Itou Yoshihiro right hand holding the whip, the whip from behind the body, through the upper, forward standing circle to grab, and the right foot took a big step forward to lengthen the distance of the strike. His target this time was the skull of Watanabe Gengou, and if he hit it, the fight would be over. The nine-sectioned whip whistled through the air, cutting everything in its path as if it were a sword - but the only thing it cut through was the air.

Watanabe Gengou dodged the vertical blow by moving his body sideways just before it hit him, and rolled off the table and lunged forward towards Ito Akihiro.

--Sweeping whip method.

Itou Yoshihiro did not have the slightest intention of retreating, and swung his nine-section whip horizontally, sweeping it across the plane where Watanabe Gengou was.

As expected by Itou Yoshihiro, Watanabe Gengou forcibly blocked the blow with his right hand and was knocked back a meter or two.

--The left hand really can't move, and the right hand just cracked some bones.

Itou Yoshihiro spun the nine-sectioned whip around his head, increasing speed a little to build up strength.

--Even if you are a monster, you are only a monster limited to human limits.

First, he leaned back and then pressed forward, his arms were extremely long, his wrists were clenched, and Itou Yoshihiro poured all his strength into this blow, using all he could of this long whip cut, its speed and power, Itou Yoshihiro was confident that this was a blow that the opponent could not evade, as well as could not defend.

But his current body can really play at full strength.

He overlooked this point.

The staggering was just an instant.

Itou Yoshihiro's eyes widened in disbelief at what he was seeing.

All that happened was a dull thud.

--Are you kidding me, an empty-handed to catch?

Yes, Watanabe Gengou blocked the chop with one right hand and held the head of the whip with his hand.

--No, that's not possible.

Itou Yoshihiro tried to pull back the nine-section whip, but was unable to do so.

Just that blow, the bare hand to take the cost of the palm of the hand bones to break several, finger bones, metacarpals, wrist bones, radius, ulna, all without exception to suffer a devastating blow, the first heart-stabbing pain, then will lose grip, so the head of the whip held by the sacrificial hand will be drawn back by Itou Yoshihiro, all the defense and sacrifices made are useless.

But that was not the case at the moment, no matter how hard Itou Yoshihiro pulled, the head of the whip was always firmly held in Watanabe Gengou's hand.

This was not the result he expected.

"It can't be pulled back, can it?"

Watanabe Gengou laughed happily, laughing at a normal volume, as simple as a child, but such a voice sounded quite harsh to Itou Yoshihiro's ears.

"If you can pull it back, I'll probably be very troubled, and my hand might just click off. "

Watanabe Gengou showed the state of his hand to Itou Yoshihiro, who then noticed that Watanabe Gengou's fingers and wrist joints were twisted in a very unnatural position.

"This thing has broken a lot, right? But thanks to this, your damn weapon has finally stopped. "

Watanabe Gengou said this without pain, as if it was not his hand but someone else's hand that was broken, and he did not feel any pain at all.

"I think I was a bit arrogant, and now I can't use my full strength even if I want to. "

As he said that, he approached towards Itou Yoshihiro. Itou Yoshihiro wandered over the question of whether to give up the nine-section whip or not, and couldn't let go yet, so he just let Watanabe Gengou shorten the distance a little bit like this.

"But I think that even if I only have two legs left, I can still beat you with the full strength of both legs. "

Watanabe Gengou took another step forward.

"That means I'll use half of my strength, right? "

At that moment, Itou Yoshihiro, who had already thought of a response, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and gave a soft hum.

"Has anyone ever told you that you are repulsive looking? "

He held the whip knuckle tightly in his right hand and raised it high.

"You're probably the type of pervert who knows you're arrogant and still fall into it, right? "

Itou Yoshihiro, shaking the nine-knot whip slightly, redirected the head of the whip that was stuck in Watanabe Gengou's hand.

''I admit that you are strong and unimaginable like a monster, but so what, since I have no intention of losing to you, then I will not lose to you.''

He pressed the button on the grip, activating the second N2 jet on the whip head, and the redirection just now did the trick, and the powerful thrust made the whip head break free from Watanabe Gengou's hand and fly back to Itou Yoshihiro in just a moment.

The situation seemed to have been reversed again.

But then something happened that Itou Yoshihiro did not anticipate.

The head of the whip crashed into his hand, but he couldn't hold it, and it just flipped in the air a few times and landed on the ground with a clang.

--?

The one who was most confused by this was Itou Yoshihiro himself, who had clearly moved his fingers to hold the head of the whip, but his fingers did not respond.

--What happened?

He looked at his hand in confusion and tried to make it move, but the result pointed to his worst expectation, his hand was no longer obedient to his commands.

Symptoms of overexertion.

He used his body in any way he could, no matter how sore or uncomfortable it was, no matter what level of warning his nerves were giving to his brain, he ignored it - after such irrational overuse of his body, a part of his limbs, at this moment, fell into the over fatigue symptom and stopped accepting any instructions.

"I didn't expect to find such an interesting mechanism, did you customize it yourself?

A series of changes in the situation occurred one after another, but Watanabe Gengou was unconcerned about them, and his self-confidence made him not consider things other than his strength.

"What's wrong with your hand? It seems to be in a bad state, it's not good to force yourself. "

Watanabe Gengou did not mean to attack while Itou Yoshihiro was shaken, he shook his two wobbly and broken arms and waited for Itou Yoshihiro to recover.

--Hoo ...... seems to be the limit.

Itou Yoshihiro simply relaxed and leaned against the wall, but the nerves were still tense, he did not know if he relaxed the nerves, the pain that had been suppressed in the body for a long time would not take away his consciousness in a moment.

"You talk more nonsense than I do, fake good guy."

Thinking that the other party fighting is also still considered moral, this guy might have had a different counter development if he hadn't met here as an enemy - Itou Yoshihiro tentatively returned the words, then swept a glance at the situation outside the window, he realized that he had been tangled with this arrogant annoying guy for too long.

The situation outside the window was favorable for Itou Yoshihiro, but he was not happy.

He saw the police outside the window, and they were quietly surrounding the building.

--There would be no chance to storm Akao if they got the jump on him.

Itou Yoshihiro thought about it for a moment, thinking that it was impractical to split with this lion in a short time, and striving for a quick battle, between himself, who was also dragging his wretched body, and him, the loser would be himself probably.

It would be too lame to fall down like this.

He observed the layout of the floor with a certain purpose and noticed several cabinets near the stairway.

'Let's finish this.'

With that, Itou Yoshihiro told a big lie, picked up the head of the whip that had fallen to the floor, and balled up the nine-section whip. At the same time, Watanabe Gengou had already moved, and with only his legs left to use, he had no better defense than to attack aggressively -- and he himself was a warlike man who could only attack but not defend.

--With only one hand able to move, the moves that can be used are ......

In the hand of Itou Yoshihiro is a 160 cm long, 1.9 kg of actual combat whip.

--Please, don't hit.

He lowers his weight and holds the whip at his waist with his right hand, poised to strike.

--Throwing whip method.

Watanabe Gengou is closing in fast. Itou Yoshihiro doesn't know how to attack with only his feet, but he knows his range is farther than his opponent's, and that's enough.

--Hand whip.

Watanabe Gengou in flight, Itou Yoshihiro waiting for the right moment.

--Down right.

Itou Yoshihiro starts to move, and Gengou Watanabe changes his sprint accordingly, moving from a straight line to an irregular zigzag.

--Front left shoulder.

But Itou Yoshihiro did not change his movements, and his smooth movements were completed in a single stroke.

--enemy face

The nine-sectioned whip that was originally grouped together spreads out in the air, completely covering Watanabe Gengou's range of movement.

--Throwing Strike!

Itou Yoshihiro used his full strength without reservation, and the whip that was hovering in the air turned into a wild snake and attacked Watanabe Gengou's head.

--There was no way to avoid it.

Despite Itou Yoshihiro's belief, Watanabe Gengou once again did something beyond his imagination - Watanabe Gengou leapt with great force, levitated his body with amazing bouncing power, fell back on his upper body, kicked his feet forward, and kicked away the whip knots hitting his head, and then landed horizontally on the ground.

Itou Yoshihiro seized the opportunity of Watanabe Gengou's fall and quickly stepped forward, but instead of attacking him, he passed by him and rushed towards the stairs, stepping onto the stairs while turning back and throwing the whip to knock down the cabinet next to the stairway, blocking the entrance to the stairs just in time.

--Then it was goodbye.

With that, he went up the stairs without looking back.

Watanabe Gengou, whom he left behind, was still lying on the floor, his eyebrows knitted together, quite confused.

What the hell, not to make an end to it.

Watanabe Gengou thought.

"Coward."

He muttered and sat up, looking out the window at the large number of approaching police officers, thinking that if I were a victim and wanted to work at the police station, I wondered if I would be allowed to.

The atmosphere in Koga Shie's dormitory was amazing.

The mutual confession between mother and daughter was somewhat similar to the confession between lovers, but far heavier than that, while the euphoria was the same.

Koga Shie and Koga Mizuo were in two corners of the room, and although both had verbally accepted each other and opened their hearts, the previous barrier was still playing a rusty role, making them still very formal with each other, often opening their mouths to say a word or two and then getting cold feet again.

"Why can't we talk properly? "

Yuuki, who had already woken up, tried hard to help the girls to get the mood right, but it was a difficult task.

Not long after Itou Yoshihiro had left, Yuuki had woken up and learned about the incident from Mizuo and Koga Shie, and then while waiting for Itou Yoshihiro to return, she was caught between the shy, and embarrassed mother and daughter, and was quite uncomfortable, so she was determined to do something to make them seem like a mother and daughter.

The false conflict between her and Mizuo had melted away with an exchange of glances, and if there was anyone who knew her better than she did, they would both answer with the other's name.

If there was anyone who knew her better than she did, they would both answer with the other's name. "Now that we've made up, let's make up. "

Yuuki hovered between the two of them, and was very vocal, and was looking forward to a little success.

But it's really hard, isn't it?

"Why are you two so shy? What is there to be shy about? It's really ...... from just now, and there's been a lot of noise outside... "

Then, Yuuki, who had repeatedly failed in her attempts, was slightly discouraged, she was still too young to know that some things can only be Slowly.

"I'll go out and take a look, you two stay here. "

Yuuki's words gave Koga Shie the opportunity to find a step down, with the power of command that is characteristic of adults to children.

"......"

"I'll be right back."

"......"

"Then, be good and wait for me."

"Yes."

With such a conversation, it sounded to Yuuki that these two finally had a bit of a mother-daughter look.

"It's still stiff, but it's much better than before, isn't it, Mizuo?"

"...... hmm."

The two who watched Koga Shie leave, the two who didn't notice Koga Shie's unusual behavior, the two who just felt warm and happy, sat side by side on the bed, sharing the simple and innocent joy.

If it is said that deception among adults is forced, then it is really a sin to deceive children.

The two who were waiting in Koga Shie's dormitory full of expectation, their expectations needed to be saved by someone.

Suppose what is seen is not true and what is heard is not true.

This is a conjecture that thinks it is correct, and the world is more aptly described as -

What is seen is often not true, and what is heard is not nearly true.

For Akao, this is the most failed transfer he has ever done.

The echelon of people who had been working together for a long time had been killed, there were betrayers among the new recruits, and the situation, which should have been well understood, was now in chaos and he knew nothing about it.

He was in his office nervously packing up important items and destroying anything that might be used as evidence, and he also called for reserve manpower in case something went wrong.

Akao was preparing for his escape.

Whether it was the arrogant guy called Watanabe Gengou, or the unpredictable Itou Yoshihiro, Akao didn't give them much trust - but trust is a feeling that, as long as it is given, no matter how much, then the price will be painful when betrayed.

Akao could not be sure whether Watanabe Gengou had helped him to block Itou Yoshihiro, using money benefits as persuasive bait was the easiest and most fragile method.

Not to mention the fact that he is now in a difficult position to protect himself, such empty promises can do much good, at least for himself, it is just a fart of waste.

So he had to escape before things developed into a situation he could not avoid.

The first time he experienced such a situation, he was so scared that even picking up a pen would make his fingers tremble, and the tiny sound of the pen falling to the ground, which sounded like thunder to Akao at the moment, terrified him.

--Don't be too nervous.

He told himself so, but the heartbeat is disobedient to beat faster.

It is impossible to control the beating of the heart, but it can be forced to stop it.

For example, give it a knife, or something.

A few minutes later, Akao finally barely finished preparing for his escape and lifted his backpack to go down the alternate staircase that only he knew, however -

"Where are you going in such a hurry, Akao-san? "

Itou Yoshihiro was already standing in front of him.

"......"

When did he come, why did he hear no footsteps, why did he not even hear a sound?

The improvised wall that Akao had built up inside him crumbled in an instant.

The instinct of survival made him barely maintain his composure, and using the desk in front of him as a visual barrier, his hand reached into his pants to feel for something.

"What the hell are you, a police undercover agent? "

He tried to talk to Itou Yoshihiro as much as possible to get a chance to win.

"I'm--'

Itou Yoshihiro smiled and walked, seemingly stumped, troubled, hesitant, and silent by the question.

"I guess I can only be considered a perverted lolicon for the sake of this incident. "

Itou Yoshihiro unpreparedly stopped in place, and scanned around as if he didn't care much about Akao. The floor he was on with Akao looked bright and spacious, with deep black marble neatly laid on the floor and large floor-to-ceiling glass separating rooms that, unlike the other floors, were obviously decorated with care, in other words, the place where Akao usually enjoyed himself.

--The money used to enjoy these is from where and how it comes.

Luxurious sofas, huge carpets, expensive sake placed in the glass windows.

At the wall, Itou Yoshihiro saw yellowing rough hemp rope. A long bundle, piled nearly a meter high, resembled a boa hunting with bated breath, silently spitting out its letters.

--These are for tying up children, right?

"Don't be too proud of yourself, I admit you are very good, but it doesn't necessarily mean you are the final winner. "

Akao gulped and swallowed. He was clearly waiting for Itou Yoshihiro's fracture, and Itou Yoshihiro was also with many fractures, but for some reason, Akao always felt that his every move was in the eyes of Itou Yoshihiro, so he didn't dare to draw his gun easily.

"I don't need you to admit whether I'm good or not. "

Itou Yoshihiro arrogantly inserted both hands into his pockets.

To Akao, it seemed that Itou Yoshihiro was just acting arrogantly and carelessly, but he didn't realize that he himself had one hand in his pocket, holding something.

"You think you can get away with it? I've just called someone and they'll be here in less than five minutes. "

Akao's nerves were tense, and he carefully loaded the gun in his pocket without making a sound.

"Oh, yeah."

Itou Yoshihiro was unimpressed, and again stepped towards Akao.

"Go to hell!"

Seizing the moment, Akao drew his pistol, his words of intimidation intended to boost his momentum, but he was too slow, and before he could aim, Itou Yoshihiro's nine-knuckle whip had knocked his pistol away and wrapped around his arm, and Itou Yoshihiro yanked it back with such force that Akao fell forward on his desk, unsteady on his feet.

It was a no-holds-barred victory.

"I'm so slow--"

Itou Yoshihiro kicked the pistol that had landed on the floor into a corner out of his sight.

The tough battle with Watanabe Gengou just now had made Itou Yoshihiro hold a whole chest full of sulking anger, and now, with these almost arrogant words, he finally let it out.

"You're the reason for all the trouble, so be a good boy and accept the sanctions ...... by the police. "

Although the mouth said so, but Itou Yoshihiro still grabbed Akao's collar, lifting his entire body, and then ...... to turn Akao in the air, turned to hold his ankles, so that his entire body hanging upside down in the air, and finally, released his hand, quite simply gave a kick to Akao's head, as if shooting at goal He kicked out Akao's head as if it were a soccer ball.

After that, Akao, who was kicked out, hit the wall and landed back on the ground, just lay there motionless.

--It was so much better.

Itou Yoshihiro stomped on Akao's buttocks and flipped him onto his back.

Through the window, he could see that a large number of police officers had surrounded the place, and two advance teams were entering the building through the front door and the back door.

--It is uesless for you to call any manpower

Itou Yoshihiro tied Akao up with a rope from the wall.

--There are so many lovely police officers here.

Then, he took a sum of money from Akao's money clip.

--The money from the part-time job is also counted and the employment relationship is dissolved, so ...... the rest will be given to the police.

Itou Yoshihiro walked downstairs quickly and in a relaxed mood to meet the two little princesses waiting for him in some room.

"In the past, why did Mizuo and her mother have such a bad relationship? "

The two children were sitting on the edge of the bed, and there was nothing they couldn't talk about.

"I don't know."

"It seems to have been like this since a certain day when I was a child."

But this was the first time they had talked about the relationship between Mizuo and her mother.

If one were to ask how much difference there is in maturity between a first-year student in middle school and a sixth-year student in elementary school, it is close to none. Likewise, junior versus senior, senior versus freshman, these seeming dividing lines are not the key points where one's level of maturity abruptly changes; this growth has always been a process, not something that is phased.

And these two little sixth-grade sisters may have grown more mentally because of a more difficult childhood compared to others.

Because maturity is never evenly proportional to the size of the year.

Koga Mizuo stared at the blank ceiling and remembered the past.

"I only remember that she cried for many days, and then her personality completely changed and she began to reject me. "

--I can't even take care of my own life, so what else do I care about her?

A self-centered woman.

"She doesn't care about me at all."

--"He's just a burden to me."

A woman who doesn't have a child in her eyes.

"I don't talk to her as much as I should."

--"Living together? I might as well sleep in a pigsty if I live with such a bratty person. "

A woman who has no regard for the value of children.

"Gradually, I often don't see her for two or three days."

--What do I care about her? She should be grateful for paying her living expenses on time. "

It seemed like such a lowly woman.

That night, the conversation between Koga Shie and Ziongzong was not heard by Koga Mizuo.

But this will not have an effect on Koga Mizuo's perception of Koga Shie, because even more harsh words than that night, and even more bloodless and heartless words, Mizuo has long heard Koga Shie say.

It was almost a miracle that the two of them were still able to maintain a nominal mother-daughter relationship under such an extremely bad relationship.

"That's why, ever since then, I've been envious of children who have a good relationship with their mothers. "

Mizuo paused for a moment.

"...... very much."

This addition left the listener at a loss for words.

"From then on, I never talked to her normally."

The fact that Mizuo could talk about these past in such a plaintive way was incredible even to her.

"Then we lived apart. "

It was the prelude to the irreparable collapse of everything.

"I didn't even know you then, huh? "

Yuuki realized too late that she shouldn't have started the conversation about this topic, and her playful tone that deliberately turned up the mood was trying to salvage the happiness that had been so hard to come by, but the conversation was becoming harder and harder, and her heart was slowly breaking. Mizuo didn't care about Yuuki's words and continued.

'About why she changed so much, I don't know anything at all, and she didn't tell me anything.'

A simple, yet painful answer.

Happiness is happiness, and that is because pain exists. Where there is only happiness, there is no happiness. Where there is only pain, there is no pain. She is not capricious, not unappreciative. More than those who give up on their own, she is passively giving deprived of the warmth from her mother.

"About communication."

Mizuo brought up the word she had said before, and her face became bitter.

"If physical contact is considered communication, then it is."

"She hit me a lot, for no reason at all."

"The night I was taken back by your brother, I was also hit by that woman."

Mizuo's story was as tasteless as if she were talking about someone else's, as decisive and unquestionable as an answer of one plus one equals two.

"All the things to do is to do as she likes.

If I had said that before we got back together, it would have been an accusation of despair.

"...... But I believe there is a reason for all of this. "

Mizuo smiled innocently, just a smile, let all the darkness in the words of the party disappear into thin air.

Yes, no matter how it was before, how painful the process was, today after trying so hard, she can see Koga Shie nodding to her, seeing the possibility of living a normal life again, these dawns allow her to forgive all that came before.

Because these are all she is currently chasing in her life.

"I'm sorry ......"

After seeing Mizuo smiling, Yuuki was finally relieved, she thought she had made a big mistake and let Mizuo who was so easily free from the gloom go back to the past.

"Don't apologize. It's not your fault, Yuuki.

Mizuo gently stroked Yuuki's head.

"But there's always someone to apologize, at times like this."

But Yuuki was still blaming herself.

"...... You're so serious, you're really cute."

"Besides, it's all right now."

"Thanks to Mr. Itou Yoshihiro and thanks to you, Yuuki."

"Don't say that. I didn't help at all. I was just a silly help."

"So, you're here for ......"

"Not for her."

Mizuo looked away, avoiding Yuuki's eyes.

"I have a friend in my class who was abducted by them. "

"Her mother came to the class and cried in front of us. "

"It's a pity that such a good mother is not with her child. "

After that, there was a long gap before Mizuo added another sentence.

"I didn't know that I would meet her and help her, so I can only say that it's just by the way. "

Disgusted with her daughter, indifferent to life, driven by work, a woman who has lost her passion, what can be done to restore her lost heart?

I think there must be none.

So the mother who is able to get back together with her daughter doesn't match the description stated above, she just looks like that, intentionally or not, to make people misunderstand her.

The person who strains and fails to please, who goes to great lengths to act like a bad person, can only be a poor person.

Shortly after the two of them finished their conversation, the door to the room was gently pushed open after a thud.

To be more precise, it was knocked open.

Itou Yoshihiro, who had only wanted to knock on the door, didn't expect to open it with just a slight touch.

"Why didn't you lock the door?

He looked a little angry.

"Where is Koga Shie? "

After quickly scanning the state of the house, he followed up with another sentence, sounding like a police officer interrogating a prisoner.

His stern attitude caused the two little sisters to open their mouths wide, not responding for a long time.

"She just went out ......? "

Mizuo answered carefully, afraid of accidentally offending the strange-looking Itou Yoshihiro.

"How long has she been gone?"

"Ten minutes ...... or so."

"Stay here, I'll go out to look for her, I'll be back soon."

It's not friendly at all, it's a completely commanding tone.

Before he left, Itou Yoshihiro stopped by the door for a moment.

"I'm just in a hurry and I'm a little impatient, so I hope I didn't scare you. "

He put on a face that tried very hard to show tenderness but just barely reached a passing grade, as if he wanted to say or do something else, only to stop talking and turn around and close the door.

After closing the door, his expression immediately became grim, like a marble floor tile as stiff and dull.

--The time lag was ten minutes.

Itou Yoshihiro was glad that the place where he fought with the arrogant man was the ground floor, which basically ruled out the possibility of Koga Shie leaving the building.

Then, all that remains is the top.

Why did she leave her daughter's side at this juncture, what did this woman want.

Could it be that the arrangement that she deliberately left behind did not bring them together as mother and daughter?

No, there is no way the relationship will deteriorate.

Just think back to the reaction of Mizuo to the name Koga Shie just now, you can see the end of the restored relationship.

So that ...... she should be ......

-- don't mess around ...... troublesome woman!

Gritted his teeth, the body is tired to hold on, Itou Yoshihiro at once ran with all his might and rushed down the stairs towards the roof.
