(I can't remain as a kid.)
Shioriko held onto her grassy green pochette with her little hands.
Her legs were trembling, her heart was pounding wildly. Cold sweat trickled as her limbs got colder by the moment.
The vehicle transported her to an old Earl's villa.
The moonlight shone upon the English-styled garden and the retro mansion. Normally, this place would be open to the public; after a stroll in the garden, one could head in for afternoon tea.
However, the old earl's villa was booked for the day by Soichiro Kuze's charity organization. It was to be used as part of their regular meetings.
Gohara, who brought Shioriko along, said that the attendees were famous, prominent political and economical figures.
Soon after, Shioriko would head into their meeting.
–Do you want me to prove your father's innocence with you?
The man with the sinister smile, wearing a burnished watch, asked her this the previous day.
Before that moment, his subordinates had already contacted Shioriko.
It was during the moment when she deliberately mentioned Mamoru Yoshikuni to Kuze at the park, that there was a letter that could be used as evidence. On her way home, a white sedan drove near her, and a man in a suit, probably a white-collared worker, walked out from it.
–I am the subordinate of a certain person. May I ask whether you did that just now because you knew Mr Soichiro Kuze was the culprit who shifted the blame upon your father, tarnished his name, and drove him to suicide?
The man had seen through Shioriko's intentions, making her wary.
–If that is really the case, my superior has the same goals as you. If you really wish to take avenge your father, please call this number.
After that, the man gave her a calling card with a cellphone number and mail address.
Shioriko originally has no intentions to contact the man.
For she was still afraid.
However, Tomohiko was hospitalized again, and his health was worse than before, causing Shioriko to be at a loss to what to do. Anxiety, trepidation, jitters and despair rose in her, and she was almost breaking down.
Will grandpa die?
No, that's impossible. Grandpa will definitely be discharged soon. I'll be able to water the plants with him soon.
However, Hikaru, who was much younger than her grandfather, suddenly passed away. Perhaps he would really die.
The moment she thought of this, her heart was about to wither.
She decided that to help Tomohiko recover, she would con Kuze of his money, and buy the house back.
She found the envelope in the wardrobe, back when she was preparing the amenities needed for the hospital stay when Tomohiko was hospitalized for the first time.
The recipient was her mother, and in her curiosity, she took the letter out. Once she found that it was written by her father, who she had no awareness of, her heart instantly raced.
The sender was Mamoru Yoshikuni...
(This person's my papa?)
What kind of person is he?
Maybe I will be able to meet him.
Harboring such hopes, she searched the name on the cellphone internet, only to be met with startling news.
