Chapter 3: Awakening

"Is this it?"

"Yes"

"It's no different from a normal alley."

No one cleans it, and there is garbage everywhere, even in the middle of the day, because of the layout of the surrounding buildings. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This kind of place can be seen everywhere in any city, and accidents are frequent because of its strong concealment

Daisuke Takasaka and Kyoko Takasaka's father and daughter stood at the place where Kyoko had an accident.

As a veteran of criminal investigation for many years, Daisuke Takasaka searched for any possible clues.

But even after walking back and forth the whole alley several times, I didn't find any difference.

During the period, Kyoko was asked to identify the scene and ask a few questions, and Kyoko has remained silent since then.

After being busy for more than two hours, it was almost time for lunch, and Daisuke Takasaka still didn't give up.

Just as Daisuke Takasaka was standing next to a pile of garbage and pondering, before he knew it, Kyoko was already standing beside him

"Let's go"

"It's not enough, it's not enough to leave without finding anything"

"Leave quickly"

"There are a lot of traces of the latest turning, confirming that people have been here often, there must be other clues"

"There's no time, get out of here"

"Kyoko, I thought something was wrong with you just now, ...... are you?"

Kyoko's voice suddenly became ethereal and ethereal, and Daisuke Takasaka, who felt that he didn't feel right, frowned and just wanted to speak, when a sudden change occurred:

On the wall in front of him, a pitch-black claw suddenly pierced out, pointing directly at Takasaka Daisuke's eyebrows,

Sudden outbursts, a brief void in consciousness

"Tick, tick, tick, tick......"

Daisuke, who came back to his senses, found that although he was pressed against the center of his eyebrows by a sharp claw, it was not himself who was dripping blood.

Kyoko, who couldn't see the expression in the shadows, firmly grasped the claws with one hand,

But the small and delicate palm was cut by the thorns on the claws, and the blood kept dripping,

The whole palm of the hand felt as if it had just been drawn from the blood......

At the last moment, it was Kyoko who grabbed the claws and let Daisuke escape.

With a sound of "horn", the claws were broken by Kyoko Shengsheng, and the next moment Daisuke was blown away by an invisible wall of air.

Daisuke, who got up in embarrassment, sat on the ground and saw a one-eyed spider lying at Kyoko's feet.

A piece of deep depression in the abdomen goes without saying and knows whose masterpiece it is,

Suddenly attacked by monsters, Kazuko's outburst made Daisuke lose his cool

"What's going on? You...... Who is it?! ”

Daisuke can be sure that the Kyoko surrounded by a mysterious aura in front of him is not the daughter he knows at all!

"You and your son are so stupid and cute, you know you're going to die if you come here?"

Obviously, his left hand was still dripping blood, but Kyoko still stepped on the monster's head with a casual kick, and then it turned into pieces.

"Answer my question, what about my child?!"

Kyoko didn't reply, but looked at Daisuke,

The scene he saw on the night of Kyosuke's death was replayed in Daisuke's mind like a movie,

By the time Daisuke had figured it out, Kyoko was already sitting quietly beside her

"You saved my son? You also made him like this? What is your purpose? ”

"The purpose? I don't know."

"I wonder why you made my son what he is? Don't know how painful he is? ”

"You also saw it, the heart is pierced, if I don't do this, he will die, do you still have any doubts?"

Daisuke couldn't help but stop talking, staring at the completely strange girl in front of him,

It's obviously smaller than Kirino, but it unexpectedly looks calm and sophisticated, weathered......

"I'm just feeling a temporary awakening from the dangerous aura, don't worry about your child, he's fine."

"What are these monsters, and what are you?"

"In a sense, it's the same kind of thing."

"Then why are you killing yourself?"

"I just care more about myself"

Staring at Kyoko's flat eyes, Daisuke, who has experienced countless experiences, is a little confused

"And what are your plans?" After talking for a long time, he didn't hear any useful information, so Daisuke had to change his story.

"Intended?" Kyoko tilted her head and thought about it, and finally shook her head with a wry smile

"I have no goal, no plan, no future, I don't know my own value, and I don't know the meaning of existence, I just want to sleep well, but I am disturbed by you......"

Kyoko held her forehead and closed her eyes a little tiredly, obviously in a lazy tone,

Daisuke deeply felt what burden this girl's weak shoulders carried......

I just wanted to continue the temptation, but I was stunned to find that Kyoko, who had closed her eyes, raised her head again,

The aura that swirled around his body dissipated - he had turned back into the ordinary Kyoko that Daisuke knew

"Just ...... What happened? ”

"Is there something you're hiding from us compared to that?"

———— Dividing Line——————

Pink carpets, pink curtains, pink sheets

Even the chandeliers on the ceiling are pink, but not all pink,

In some subtleties, cute tones are also added, using lively but not childish patterns,

Coupled with the knick-knacks that add the finishing touch, the whole room is filled with a romantic atmosphere,

From a girl's point of view, it's a boudoir that is so cute that it screams!

"Smack"

Kyoko closed the door expressionlessly, saw her own graffiti hanging on the door, and then looked next door,

Make sure you're not in the wrong room and then open the door or the same view? Wrong way to open?

"Ah~~~ How does my sister feel, my sister and my mother prepared it for you together~"

Simple and clear, he simply turned around and left, and protested silently,

But he was dragged into the room by Kirino to preach

"Don't be so cold! It's too much to deny it so ruthlessly~"

"It's not too much to modify someone's room without permission?"

"This is also the will of my mother!"

“…… I'm moving out......"

"Huh!? Why? ”

Kyoko ignored Kirino's retention and walked straight out of the room,

When I went down the stairs, I saw that my father was already sitting at the dinner table with a newspaper

"How's the room? Are you satisfied? Daisuke, who was staring at the newspaper, asked casually

"It's annoying in every sense of the word, and I'm going to move out."

"I disagree!" "Dismissed!"

Parents oppose at the same time, and it is also expected by Kyoko

"Even if I'm a girl now, I can't stand the girl's lifestyle!"

"Wouldn't it be nice to get used to it honestly? Less capricious in that! ”

"Yes, how dangerous it is for a girl to live alone outside the home, why can't she appreciate the good intentions of her parents?"

"I've thought about all of them, but I'm not going to change my mind"

Kano and Daisuke sang and tried to convince Kyoko but with little success,

Although I know that my child's temper has come up, it is useless to persuade anyone

But it's not a trivial matter that the room is altered, so I lose my temper and want to move out.

Unless it's a pretext......

Coupled with the scene that broke common sense not long ago, Daisuke saw a little clue:

Kyoko neither intends to confess, nor does she want to expose her secrets to her relatives,

As always, I took a road alone and went to the dark.

Letting the child's mother, Kano, babble endlessly, Daisuke finally spoke after a long silence

"I see, I agree with you"

"Kid dad?!" Jia Nai was shocked

"However, it is not without conditions, first, all the expenses and even tuition fees after moving out will be borne by yourself, and I will not give any help! Second...... At the slightest danger, you must come back, and you must not object! If you can, I'll allow you to move out! ”

Put down the newspaper, and the stern Daisuke threw out the extremely harsh conditions for the average junior high school student

"What are you talking about, kid dad! Kyoko is just a kid......"

"Children have to grow up eventually, and since they want to go out alone, they don't even have this awareness to die early."

The tip of the needle is on the wheat mang, the father and daughter look at each other without giving in, and even the air is full of gunpowder.

Kyoko just unconsciously clenched her left fist - even though the scar was not visible, it still ached,

There was a period of time in my memory when I was temporarily unconscious, and my mind went blank.

When I woke up, I only had the pain of tearing the palm of my left hand, and the itching of the wound that healed rapidly.

and his father's strange distrustful gaze as if he was looking at a monster.

What happened in the short period of time when he lost consciousness, his father Daisuke didn't know what the purpose was, but he kept his mouth shut.

But even if Kyoko is confused, she can vaguely guess something, and she is more determined not to affect her family.

"I agree"

"Oh, the answer is quite pleasant, don't come back to your mother with a crying nose when the time comes."

“……”

Got up from his chair, silently turned around and went straight upstairs to his room, responding to his father's sarcasm with actions.

"Kid dad! You're crazy!! This time, Jia Nai was really angry

"Don't worry about this matter, Jingzi is now in the rebellious period, I don't know how thick the sky is, I will come back when I go out to live alone and suffer hardship, what do you care?"

"Yes, it's me who cares about it, so you care about your daughter, but do you call it caring? What do you mean by 'I won't give any help'? That's what you did to the father of the child? ”

"What, Kyoko wants to live alone, then I will accompany her too!"

Kana is unyielding about Daisuke agreeing to Kyoko living alone,

At this time, Kirino also walked down from the upper floor, and when he heard the conversation between his parents,

It was too late to harass Kyoko, who was passing by by by mistake, and immediately jumped out to make a statement

"What kind of mess are you making, stay at home honestly!"

"That's it, why is it that even Tong Nai is like this, and he dislikes his parents when his wings are hard? What a water spilled by a married daughter! ”

"Where is this, going out to live alone is not getting married!" There are too many slots, and Jia Nai's neat sentence is messy.

"It's not a meaning yet, I have to leave my parents ......"

Jia Nai lowered her eyebrows and wiped her tears silently, as if she was saying that her daughter of more than ten years had been raised in vain.

forced Kino to swallow the protest, and ran to coax his mother Jia Nai to be happy.

And the father Daisuke didn't say a word in the interaction between the mother and daughter,

Holding his chin, he tapped his index finger on the table in a very rhythmic manner and pondered something.
