「I'm not really bright. I'm ignorant. I need to study to become better don't I...」

I feel a bit down after getting scolded by Nei-san...

「Yo-chan, what are you saying!」

Nei-san's looking at my face in wonder.

「Yo-chan's cute because he's a bit of an idiot, don't get wise!」
「...What?」
「Just stay as an idiot all the time...please!」

...Err, Nei-san?

「Yoshida-kun, you're 15 right now aren't you?」

Margo-san asks me from the driver seat.

「Yes, that's right」
「Then, you still have five more years」
「...What?」
「The priest in our facility said that 『Humans can be educated until they're 20 years old』 When they're 20 years old, their rough character would be decided and there won't be any big changes after that...」
「Big changes?」
「Like entering the military and have your actions controlled 24-7...or getting in jail and be forced to do labor...Human lifestyle doesn't seem to change much」
「...oh」
「...Yoshida-kun, I haven't asked you about this before but have you heard about the saying 『Environment makes the habit, the habit forms the character and the character decides the fate』?」
「...It's my first time hearing it.」
「Those who want to become a different person must change the environment they live in. As the environment changes, his customs would too. When his customs change, his character would change too. If the character changes, one's fate would change」

Margo-san said.
...But
Will I be able to go out of that lonely house?
I haven't returned to the house for these past few days
I stayed at Yuzuki-sensei's mansion all this time.
Katsuko-nee's making delicious meals.
But...There's no way this will continue forever.
Right now, I'm experiencing a dream for a short period...
It's not allowed to happen to my body in reality...
That's why I must return the favor to the people who were gentle to me.
I must use my all to be useful...
Everyone's being gentle to me after all
I have to return to that cold sofa in that dark room sooner or later.

The van we're in runs at full speed in the night way...

「We're going to burn down the flower shop of the Yakuza. I'll explain the procedure in details after arriving at the place...!」

Margo-san said suddenly.

「Why are we going to burn the shop?」

We just repulsed the Yakuza a while ago
Margo-san gave the young Yakuza a fracture on their dominant arm and the boss promised to be gone by tomorrow.
In the first place, the Yakuza sent over a 『Break off letter』
There's no need to burn the shop now...

「Well, isn't it fun to burn it down?!」

Nei-san laughingly answered.
Well, Nei-san might be an 『Arson maniac』but...

「...You think it's overkill?」

Margo-san asked while looking at the rear-view mirror

「Yes...A bit」

I answered honestly

「We should overdo it...we're in that kind of industry」

Margo-san laughed.

「...This case is the Yakuza trying to meddle with Nagisa-san in the first place. That Yakuza was a member of a certain organization and the organization has some responsibility」
「...Yes, I think so」
「That's why Minaho reported a complaint to the organization and they 『Broke off』from that Yakuza... You can't see any problem after that do you?」
