Akari and the others arrived in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, riding in a limousine driven by Saburo.
Matsumoto Station, Bus Terminal.
“Is it really… just the two of you from here on?”
Rushia asked Akari and the others.
Her friend was anxious. From the nuances in Akari’s words, she had likely sensed that their parents were not exactly decent people.
It was kind of them to worry. But…
“Yeah. It’s fine. From here on… we’re good just by ourselves.”
Akari didn’t want her friend to see her parents.
She didn’t want to let those parents get anywhere near Rushia, or Okaya and the others.
“Damn it… I’m nervous!” Saburo shouted.
It was clear he genuinely cared about them. Rushia, Saburo, Okaya—they were all worried for real.
Everyone they had met in Tokyo had been good people.
They’re warm, caring people. Which is exactly why I don’t want them entangled with parents who are nothing but trash. “Saburo. Let me give you a blessing.” “Miss…”
Shifting abruptly from her previous anxious expression, Rulia spoke in a resolute tone.
“It seems the two of you have made up your minds. We have no right to trample on that resolve.” “Ruu-chan… thank you.” Nanako bowed her head politely.
Rufu… Rulia smiled and stroked Nanako’s head.
“I’ll be waiting here. Settle everything once and for all… and let’s return to mother’s side. All together.”
Rulia gazed at Akari.
From Rulia, one could read a firm resolve: Let’s go home together, everyone, and be happy.
Akari felt the same way. She shared that very same feeling.
After all, bigamy was now officially permitted. There was no need for anyone to grieve.
Then, let’s all choose happiness. No, we will be happy. For that reason… “Yeah. I’m off!”
Holding hands with Nanako, Akari headed toward Matsumoto Station.
Nanako remained visibly anxious, though she never voiced it once.
It’s because Akari refuses to force her feelings down and voice her anxiety. “Let’s go, Sis.” ”…Yeah.” The two of them don’t look back. ……They can’t.
Because if they stopped and turned around, they’d be tempted to say, “Come with us,” to Torshia.
”…Miss, aren’t you going to wait for Grandpa?”
”…No, this time I’m not relying on Grandfather. If I have to choose…” [★Important Notice]
