Akari and the others returned to their parents’ home.
The family house was a place where gaunt, near-abused animals were caged.
In that atmosphere, descending from the second floor was a fat man in his forties or fifties… bald Akai.
“Oh! Nanako-o! Took you long enough to come home to Dad, didn’t it? Hnngh?”
The bald man tried to approach his sister, Nanako.
…Akari knew that their sister was the bald man’s favorite.
Akari positioned herself between her father and her sister to protect him from her.
“Don’t get the wrong idea. We just came here to report to you.”
“Huh? What kind of report…”
The bald man fixed Akari with a sticky, lingering gaze.
Nanako wasn’t acting like someone who had a personality tailored to the bald man’s tastes… but.
Seemingly interested in her lush body, he ran his eyes over Akari’s breasts and thighs without a shred of shame, scanning them as if savoring them.
It was abhorrent.
I wanted out of this house more than anything, fast as possible.
…So, I speak. I have to. I know exactly how things are going to end after this, but…
Even so, if I want to escape hell… it’s something necessary.
He is, technically, my own parent.
“I’m getting married to big sis.” The bald man’s eyes went wide for a split second.
“What the hell… what are you talking about?”
“I said we’re getting married. Big sis and me. That’s why… ah!”
Whack! The bald man struck Akari in the cheek.
There was no restraint whatsoever; it was a full-force, devastating blow.
My mouth had been cut open by that strike.
With a wet sound, Akari collapsed on the spot. “Akari-chan!”
Nanako pressed close to him, her eyes welling with tears.
Akari shoved the older woman aside and forced herself to her feet.
“We’re getting married. We are cutting all ties with this family.”
The bald man hit her again—a savage blow that sent shockwaves through her body.
This time, his fist buried itself deep in her abdomen. “Gahh!” “Akari-chan!” As the pain surged, memories rushed back to her.
The days she had suffered abuse at the hands of this goddamn father.
How it was because she hated it so much that she fled this house to escape to the person she loved.
……But she couldn’t run away anymore.
“I found someone I like. In Tokyo. I’m going to marry him. So please…… gyah!”
Another fist slammed into Akari’s cheek.
“Stop! Please, stop! You’re going to kill Akari-chan!”
Nanako clung desperately to her father’s arm, trying to hold him back.
But the bald man remained expressionless, punching her again and again. ……It hurt. It was scary. Help me…….
Akari desperately held back the whimpers that threatened to escape her lips.
“Nanako! Don’t you stop! You gotta beat some sense into this damn kid so she stops saying shit like that, yo. That’s what being a parent is all about, see!”
……Stupid fucking thing. Fuck around and find out? No way it’s crazy to marry the person I love. Akari glared at the bald man.
“What was that defiant attitude, huh!?”
Crack! The bald man slapped Akari across the cheek.
He had punched her so many times that her mouth was already filled with blood.
“Stop it! Please! Don’t hurt Akari-chan! I’ll do whatever you want!”
Hearing this, the bald man grinned…….
Ah. Akari realized that this had been his goal all along.
“Alright then, Nanako. Let’s get started.”
