Chapter 242 – 15.21 Mysterious Beautiful Girl 3
Aoi followed Akane all the way around like her ducklings follow her mother.
As if her sister would disappear again if she were to fall for a moment.
And I followed the sister like that.
Beautiful sisters are good just to look at.
“Aoi. My sister will prepare dinner from now on.”
“I will help you too, sister.”
“… OK then.”
Akane didn’t particularly object to Aoi following her around.
For some reason, like her older sister, she also took care of her younger brother.
“Aoi can cook too? Isn’t she dangerous?”
“Don’t do anything dangerous. Rather, why do you keep following me?”
It’s okay for Aoi to follow me around, but she seems to not like me for following her around.
“Since they are guests in my house, it is only natural that I treat them.”
“What a treat! Aoi, can’t you see I’m scared? Don’t follow me.”
I can’t! If you know it, there is no one as good as me!
“Aoi. Are you that scared of me?”
I asked with a good-natured smile.
But Aoi shut her mouth with her frightened expression.
“… Huh? Huh? Are you kidding? Aren’t you scared? Huh?”
Eventually, Aoi hides behind her, including her older sister.
Is it really scary…
“Did you see it? Don’t follow me.”
“Kuh… Unbelievable… !”
Akane’s calm words made me collapse and become frustrated.
“I just wanted to get close to Akane’s younger sister… !”
“You don’t have to be friendly. After today, I won’t see you again anyway.”
Akane sighed coldly as she looked down at me as I collapsed and sobbed.
“Sobbing. Aoi. Don’t you think your sister is too cold?”
“Sister. What do you mean there’s nothing to see after today?”
Instead of answering my words, Aoi asked Akane.
Akane sighed lightly and said.
“It is literally. Aoi, are you not going to school? I have to go home.”
“…”
“Mom will be worried too. Did you say you were coming here?”
… Dory dory.
“I knew it. You know that minors are not allowed to enter the Rune Tower, right?”
… Nod.
“Nives. Can you sneak him out?”
“Um~ It’s not impossible.”
“Sister!”
Aoi intervened in the mood to return immediately.
“Sister, can’t I just live here with you? Can I not go back home?”
Aoi clings to Akane’s arms and pleads.
Akane calmly removed Aoi’s hand.
“Aoi. You know what?”
“Sister…”
“Oh, am I welcome? Aoi is also my bride—”
“Knives, shut up.”
“Yep.”
I was afraid of Akane, so I decided to quietly shut up.
“Do you think Mom and Dad will stay still if you don’t come back? First of all, I’ll report her missing to the police, then I’ll be able to find out that she’s here right away by tracking her location. Then we, who were hiding you, will be arrested on the charge of ‘abduction and confinement of a minor. Aoi wishes her sister died again?”
“That, that…”
Aoi was at a loss for words at the truly terrifying story.
Akane’s words were extreme, but they were somewhat plausible. It was Ao who sneaked in, but it was almost certain that we would receive the punishment.
And the moment Akane is arrested, the end is over. Because I can’t replenish my mana.
Akane calmly finished the story.
“I won’t say anything about sneaking in, so just have dinner and go home. Even if it takes her to come here, if she misses her sister and says she came and saw her, it won’t be a big problem for her.”
“Sister…”
She wants to spend more time with her sister, whom she has not seen in a long time, and Akane must be the same.
Even so, Akane calmly cut off her ties.
Because that would be a day for each other.
I intervened there again.
“Akane. Is it okay if I sleep for a day or so?”
“Knives.”
‘Don’t say nonsense’. Akane said so with her eyes.
Akane’s eyes are scary. But I also had to speak.
If you break up like this, the two of you will regret it for a long time.
“Aoi is no longer a child, is she? It’s to the point where I’ve come this far alone. Wouldn’t it be okay if I slept over at a friend’s house for a day?”
“That’s because Knives doesn’t know my parents.”
Akane spoke with a 180 degree change from when she spoke to Aoi.
She seemed to have returned to the Akane of her ferocious days.
“Sleep out at a friend’s house? Don’t let me go out, let alone stay out. Even if I go back right now, I didn’t follow the schedule, so Aoi will be laughing? Even now, Aoi’s phone is on fire from calls from her parents.”
“Really? Aoi?”
When I asked, Aoi hesitated and couldn’t answer.
I guess it’s true.
I don’t think Akane’s parents interfered that much.
Is it because Akane is a rune holder?
“Anyway, if it doesn’t work, it’s okay to try talking even if you can’t help it, right? Do you think it would be more dangerous to stay like this? Like Akane said, it would be a big deal if I reported her missing.”
“… That’s right. I’ll have to call anyway.”
If you are a polar parent, you will have to talk more.
Akane also agreed.
“Aoi. Do you have a phone?”
“Ah, yes…”
Aoi flinched and took out her phone and turned it on.
“I don’t need to say anything else. ‘I’m sorry I came out without talking’, ‘I came out to play with my friend’, ‘I’ll be back soon’. Just say that Saying an answer would only make things more complicated, so I’m just saying I’m sorry.”
“… Huh.”
“Akane is quite calm.”
“Noisy. What do you know?”
Akane, who answered crookedly, looked somewhat lonely.
I need to calmly comfort you tonight.
– Beep! Beep!
“Ah!”
As soon as Aoi’s cell phone, which had been turned off, turned on, the phone rang.
‘Hey, did you see it?’ Akane looked at me with those eyes.
I shrugged.
“Uh, what should I do? Dad.”
Aoi seems to be worried now.
I guess I’m still at an age where I’m afraid of being scolded by my parents.
“Aoi. Just do what her sister told you to do. Don’t bring up the story of your sister. Understand?”
Akane holds Aoi’s hand, who is nervous.
“Huh… Huh!”
Aoi also answered the phone with a grim expression, as if she had received her courage from her sister.
“Hello?”
-… Is it oh?
“Yes.”
-It looks like you left school early without telling your mom. School is also missing.
“… “
-Where are you and what are you doing? What’s the matter?
“I… With my friends…”
– Friends? Are you leaving school early?
Tsk. The sound of her tongue clicking could be heard from here.
At first, the gentle voice was mixed with irritation.
– That’s why you made me call my dad’s company. Didn’t mom tell her not to be a nuisance around her?
“… Sorry.”
Shaking.
Aoi’s hand holding her phone was shaking.
-Anyway, how long has it been since my sister bothered her mom and dad like that? Are you feeding your mom and dad too? Not knowing the grace that her sisters raised in the same way–
“—Ha?”
Eventually exploded.
Akane, who was listening by the side.
“What is he saying now? To the subject who even sold her daughter’s body. Acting like normal parents.”
His voice was loud enough to be transmitted to the person on the phone next to him.
-… What, now, what… ?
A panicked voice is heard from over the receiver.
Enraged, Akane snatched Aoi’s cell phone and snatched it away, then screamed at it.
“Why did you say you were pretending to be a normal parent when you sold your daughter’s corpse?!”
-Ah, Aka–
Beep.
Akane just hangs up the phone.
“Under! I feel relieved.”
Saying that, Akane didn’t look relieved at all.
Only Aoi was flustered and she didn’t know what to do.
“Uh, sister?”
“Ah. Sorry aoi She pretended to be proud and her sister did it.”
Akane was smiling, but she wasn’t laughing when she was laughing.
– Beep! Beep!
Her cell phone rang again.
And Akane and Aoi are startled by the sound.
“Uh, what should I do? Sister?”
“… What should I really do?”
Aoi flustered. Akane has become desperate.
Both seemed pointless.
“Give me this.”
So I reached out.
“I will talk.”
“… Knives?”
Akane looks at me with her suspicious eyes.
“I have an idea.”
I nodded my head with the most trustworthy look on my face.
“Ha… The only person you can trust is Knives…”
Akane lamented, but handed me the phone.
The cell phone was ringing loudly all the while.
‘Are you really okay?’ Aoi looked at her sister with those eyes.
‘I don’t know.’ Now, Akane is truly desperate.
I should do well in order not to disappoint the two sisters.
I’ll show you a cool look!
“Uh hmm, uh huh. Ah.”
I cleared my throat slightly, lowered my voice, and answered the phone.
“Howdy. It’s Tsukimiya. Nice to hear you on the phone.”
-What… ?!
First bread victory.
I took the initiative with a conversation before the other person.
My image now is of an Italian mafia boss.
For some reason, what comes to mind is the inspiration for Arashi.
If you look only at the external image, there won’t be much difference.
-… Who are you?
Akane’s father asks in a nervous voice.
I called my daughter, but a strange man came out, so I have no choice but to panic.
“Ah. I am the head of ‘the institution’. Or would it be easier to understand if I said ‘the person who bought my daughter’s body’?”
Akane’s father gasps at my bluffing words.
Beside me, Akane and Aoi were looking at me with bewildered eyes.
