Two days later.
After informing Asai that Sora did not have a child, the former narrowed her eyes, and hissed in a rampage, "What is the matter with that woman? I actually arranged for her to live peacefully in a place nobody else will know of, and came up with a list of potential hospitals for the birth!"
After a long spiel of sniding and complaints, Koremitsu retreated with a defeated look.
"I really caused you trouble there, Asa, but I never expected you to find out where Sora was that fast. That's a great help."
And after he said that, Asai sealed her lips tight, turning her head sharply to the side as she said.
"Of course. You could have requested me for help right from the beginning. It was entirely your miscue, Mr. Akagi."
After saying that coldly, she turned her head towards Koremitsu with much pressure, glaring at him sharply,
"You hear? You are to report to me the first thing if you are in trouble because of Hikaru again."
And she continued with her chiding.
"...But if it is your personal problems, it is not that you cannot look to me for help."
Muttering that, she turned to leave.
"What's the matter now? Asa's becoming very mature here."
After hearing Koremitsu mutter this, Hikaru smiled wryly,
"Just to you."
And he said those inexplicable words.
Tsuyako too was devastated when she learned that Hikaru's child did not exist.
"Mr. Akagi, comfort me."
It took him a lot of effort just to placate her, and Tōjō, who had assumed the child within Sora to be Koremitsu's, gave a deathly scowl.
"You were fooled by a woman's lie because you did something guilty yourself. Even if she does have a child, and you want to admit it, or that you want to compensate her to abort and make her a crying wanderer, you could have rejected her if you did not do anything guilty in the first place. You should reflect on your actions and exercise caution."
Perhaps it was because he had his own experiences with regards to the matter that he took the entire break to give Koremitsu a long sermon.
And Hiina herself appeared while giving her usual cheerful look.
"Too bad that you can't be a papa here, Mr. Akagi. If he's born, I'm prepared to record down a diary of you raising a kid here. Ah, do you want to have a baby with me? You'll be a dad in another 10 months and 10 days later.
She continued on with her incessant chatter, and Koremitsu asked grimly,
"Oumi, thanks for what you said back then. Also, do I know your brother?"
And Hiina showed an impish face.
"It's a pity to say it now. That's a secret."
She then turned to leave.
Koremitsu was also prepared to apologize to Honoka for toppling her cookies.
"It's fine...I'm not angry."
Honoka looked a little forlorn as she smiled.
After informing Honoka that the child was a hoax.
"Is that so. Now then, you'll be able to sleep well, Akagi."
Though she sounded optimistic, she averted her eyes from him, looking forlorn. It was a fleeting instance, so Koremitsu wondered if that was just him seeing things, but,
