Shou-neechan laughs.
Just as Reika said. I can feel even my heart embraced from your stare
Eyes?
My parents didn’t even look at me after all
I said as I look at the horizon.
Beyond this sea is Japan.
After Grandma died, nobody looked at me. Nobody looked at me. I didn’t have money at all, I was in elementary grade, 6th year, I had to cut my hair. I use scissors to cut my hair as I look at the mirror. Of course, I wasn’t able to cut it properly that my hair was messed up I recall. Mother is living in the same house, but she doesn’t make contact with me, but I had to face my father in the morning. It’s different since we see each other. But, My father didn’t notice that my hair’s messed up Didn’t notice? He didn’t see my face. Even though we live together
Even though we eat breakfast in the same room, he doesn’t look at me at all.
In the end, they’re that kind of people
I sighed.
You met your father again, haven’t you?
Shou-neechan asks.
Oh.
I met with my father who disappeared
before going to Los Angeles.
✕ ✕ ✕
Then, are the terms acceptable for you?
The gray-haired lawyer speaks.
Minaho-neesan, an old man lawyer Kouzuki house referred, and I met with Father at a hotel in the city center.
Negotiations with father already ended on the same day.
Minaho-neesan and the lawyer finished it beforehand.
yes, i agree with all the terms
Minaho-neesan made contact with my father under the name of my homeroom teacher at high school.
As Yuzuki Minaho.
if you’re okay with him then I have no complaints
Minaho-neesan noticed that my father neglected me.
That’s why she’ll take custody.
Then, Kuormori house who wants a child says that they want to adopt me.
the situation made it impossible for me to raise a child alone
Father looks down.
He doesn’t look at me.
Then, please affix your signature and your personal seal on the adoption papers
Father tries to sign the documents given by the lawyer in a hurry.
But, my father’s cheap ball pen doesn’t even produce ink.
Please use this
Unable to bear it, the lawyer lent his fountain pen.
thanks
Father signs the paper with shaking hands.
He seems to want to leave the place as soon as possible.
Ha, done. i signed all of it
He signed all the papers given by the lawyer.
With this, you lost custody of Yoshida Yoshinobu-kun. He’s now an adopted child of Kuromori family. Even if you two meet in the future, please don’t start an exchange. You’re strangers now The lawyer said. Father: yes! that’s, o-of course Kuromori house will now take responsibility for Yoshinobu-kun’s livelihood. Rest assured
Minaho-neesan said.
Ah, yes. i trust them
Why do you even trust Kuromori house if you never met them?
Minaho-neesan even purposely came here as Yuzuki Minaho instead of Kuromori Minaho.
It would seem strange for the person who would adopt me won’t come when my real father abandons his custody
You can guess when you usually think.
My father just jumped into the adoption talk like I’m baggage he wants to throw away without even checking what kind of house Kuromori is.
Then, of course, Yoshinobu-kun will no longer inherit Yoshida-san’s assets in the future. Yoshida-san seems to have a land and a house, which is the house Yoshinobu-kun has been living alone until now yes
Does my father feel sorry that he left me behind? He replied in a small voice.
Please be sure to deal with it yourself. Yoshinobu-kun’s luggage is, well, just a single cardboard box with his study tools, a sofa instead of bedding, which all have been carried out already. Any other indoor objects haven’t been touched i’m sorry!
That means that the lawyer has seen my miserable life.
A high school boy sleeping on a kitchen sofa and only owns single cardboard of items.
It’s inevitable for him to think that I was abused.
will you allow Yoshinobu-kun to take his personal belongings? that’s, hahaha, that’s his Then, it’s written over here, your signature please
The lawyer takes another piece of paper.
With that, the worn out sofa is officially mine.
Later, even if mother sues, we can refute that father gave it to me.
O-Okay Thank you
Then, the lawyer looks at Minaho-neesan.
What is it?
Minaho-neesan.
You seem to be having irregular employment in the rural area, am I right? yes, ah, hahaha, i quit the company after age 40 so there’s no other job available to me, ahahahaha
No, father didn’t leave the company.
he abandoned it.
On the first day of my entrance ceremony.
Then, are you having troubles with money?
Minaho-neesan asks.
No, uhm, that’s
Minaho-neesan looks at me.
Yoshida-kun, no, you’re now Kuromori-kun. Hand ‘that one’ to Yoshida-san Yes, Sensei
I hand over a passbook to my father.
this?
Father only looks at the passbook, he didn’t look at me.
It’s the passbook you left at home. I used some for my living expenses, but I still have quite a lot left in there
I said.
no, but, i left this for you But, I don’t need them
Dammit.
Kuromori-san will be taking care of me from now on. I don’t need that anymore
Father.
then, it would be a waste if I don’t, I’ll be taking it
He takes the passbook with his slightly trembling hands.
Then, he puts it in his dirty bag.
is that all?
Father asks the lawyer.
Yes, I’ll handle the other things later. Thank you for your efforts
The lawyer speaks calmly.
then, i’m going. Err
Father sands up, still, he looks away from me.
stay healthy. Ahahaha, it feels strange, of course, it is, but still. Stay safe You too, Yoshida-san
I don’t need words.
Look at me, just even once.
You’re my father, aren’t you?
Still, my father.
Ah, what about the bill? I’ll take care of it but Kuromori-sama gave me a budget for this i see, then thanks for the meal
He said while standing, then he drinks the coffee.
While at it, he also drank ice water from the cup.
excuse me
My father didn’t even say please take care of my son.
He just ran away from the hotel’s tea room.
Then, I’ll be leaving as well
The lawyer stands up.
Thank you. Please take care of the rest
Minaho-neesan bows her head.
Yes. I’ll complete the process as soon as possible as Kakka made this a directive
The lawyer also bows to Minaho-neesan.
Thank you
I bow my head.
Then, excuse me
The lawyer stands up.
Minaho-neesan and I are alone.
I brought 10 million yen you know. I considered that we might have troubles with him
Huh?
the lawyer also planned to say that Kuromori house is ready to transfer 3 million yen if he asks for it
Minaho-neesan said.
Thinking of his previous job, I found a suitable replacement yet, what an idiot man Why? Isn’t he your father, right? I don’t want to just throw him out in the air naked. Yet
Minaho-neesan’s pouts.
That man isn’t a father at all!
Chapter 593
Chapter 593 Get open
Thinking about it, if you haven’t looked at a person’s face after a while, you’ll find them hard to understand
Morning. We return from the cruiser to Shou-neechan’s Ferrari.
There’s a palatial residence in the outskirts of Los Angeles rented by Minaho-neesan.
We finished breakfast and had tea on the poolside table.
Minaho-neesan, Nei, Megu, Mana, Edie, then Shou-oneechan and me.
