Futago
Ayumi and the truth.

Mai painstakingly explains and gives an example to Yuki how to process chi in the body. Although it was complicated, but the girl was able to follow it well.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Mai closed the rehearsal today. The woman with the male-like haircut bowed deeply to Yuki.

"Mai chan, pandora is closed at what time?." Mai straightened her body.

"Eleven ojou equal." Answer Mai. The twenty-five-year-old woman was given the ending 'chan' by Yuki.

"If I want to be there in the morning, is that okay?." Ask Yuki.

"Sure, there are special rooms for the main family. The great master used to often not have time to return to his private room if he was busy working. Pandora's far enough away." Obviously Mai. Yuki agreed, building her room with pandora was quite far away.

"Thank you Mai chan." Yuki.

Replacing her training clothes with a black covered nightgown. His feet stepped into the magnificent door of Pandora.

"Sorry ojou alike." Yuki turned her back to look at the two servants who were still standing a few steps outside the door.

"Only the chosen butler and protector can enter pandora. Ordinary maids like us are forbidden to enter." Yuki felt a little strange but he understood.

"good. Now go back to your rooms, I'll stay here." Yuki.

"We understand ojou equally. Good night." They bowed respectfully then took a few steps back waiting for Yuki to enter the pandora first and then they left.

Yuki was faced with a very spacious hall with strange and familiar patterned ceramics. His head looked up, a huge light in the shape of an ice flower clanging on the super high ceiling. Beautiful circular floor balconies. Eleven floors.

Yuki was gobsmacked with pandora's splendor, his manic sweeping the first floor. Many sofa chairs are neatly arranged, long pantry tables equipped with automatic selling machines, from drinks to various foods. Someone walked towards him.

"Welcome ojou alike." Yuki glanced at the old geezer with small round glasses over his nose.

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry please show me where the library is?." The old man walked to one of the elevators.

"Please enter the same ojou." Yuki entered the elevator glancing at the wrinkled finger pressing down on the number four. Elevator goes up.

"It's been a long time, Pandora misses you so much." Old grandpa said.

"That's right, sir. It's been a long time until I've forgotten so much." Reply Yuki.

"Your call to me seems to be forgotten as well." Yuki bowed little.

"sorry. Can you tell me?." The old grandfather smiled to coincide with the elevator doors opening.

"Please enjoy your time ojou equally. If you need help just call the first floor using the phone sitting on the information desk. I'll be here soon." Said the old man bowing respectfully then closing back the elevator door leaving Yuki alone.

Good, she understands my point, inner Yuki who wants to be alone soon.

Following his memories Yuki walked into one of the giant bookshelf aisles. Really this fourth floor is full of rows of books, Yuki crossed the hall through a circular balcony towards the other side. His feet led him to a world map drawn on an extremely rare ancient paper. Yuki observed for a while, the map was the same as a map of the world in general. I don't know what makes Yuki reluctant to turn away from the map.

Yuki read the names of cities and countries starting from the continent of Australia, rising to the top. Even the flow of the big river to the smallest did not escape his sight.

Yuki had almost forgotten the time because of that world map.

"Je. Take down all pandora's residents." Lirih Yuki shifted her gaze from the map.

"On confirmation." The owl was gone.

Yuki walked towards the elevator. The old grandfather emerged from behind the elevator door welcoming Yuki with a warm smile.

"Does ojou want to stay at Pandora?." Ask old man.

"Yes, I want to rest now." Yuki answered walking into the elevator.

"Then the eleventh floor is waiting for you." The old man pressed the number eleven.

The door closed, the elevator sped up to take them to the highest floor.

"Pandora actually has twelve floors." Yuki looked to the side.

"The twelve-storey is one of the places the protectors stand guard. It seems like ojou similarly forgot that too." Yuki nodded small.

Ting!.

Elevator door opens. The old grandfather leads Yuki through a luxurious hallway with glass windows along the side of the pandora. His feet paused for a moment staring out the glass.

Yuki can see other buildings from up there, to five buildings. The two remaining buildings may be behind the pandora, Yuki can also see the boundary of the land belonging to his ancestors. Very spacious. Until he thought it was unfair to other Japanese people.

How much tax should her family bear?, thought Yuki.

"Ojou the same, over here." Yuki looked ahead.

"Pick."

Yuki passed through two large doors. They stopped at the third door. The old grandfather opened the two door leaves simultaneously, allowing Yuki to enter.

"Can everyone get in here?." Ask Yuki.

"No ojou alike. Only the main family can go to the eleventh floor." Yuki nodded at a glance.

Slowly he entered into a room more magnificent than his private room. The door closed, Yuki turned her back to stare at the door with the strange carving until.

Gedebum!.

The sound was quite loud from outside the door. Yuki again opened the door glancing at Je hovering in front of her face.

"Is it all?."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Dries. You can't hover behind me." Yuki's voice opened the black rope on her waist, tying Je on her stomach.

"OKs. You're safe now, let's go." Yuki smiled patting her stomach which had a lump.

On the other side. Disquiet enveloped the young man's heart, accompanying him on his way home.

Yuki's words kept ringing inside Fumio's head. The fact that his heart had forgotten all their memories had made Fumio fall into a dark abyss, added with the girl having a new person in her heart made Fumio seem to fall into a bottomless abyss.

There is no guarantee indeed if Yuki does not fall for others because of the distance and time that is not short for them. But!, hey!. Fumio is also an ordinary man who can't help but miss decades NO!, DOZENS OF YEARS. Fumio has never given up or been tired of looking after and caring for their love all this time. He is a loyal man. No other woman than her lover, never!.

This is the toughest ordeal besides competing with the sons of other respectable families, there is still Takehara Fumihiro who is now able to rise to become Yuki's future fiance. What else is the girl now difficult to guess, can not approach her carelessly. The sentence turned back around in Fumio's head.

"My heart belongs to someone else."

Why didn't Hotaru ever tell him about this?. His best friend is not loyal, man. Fumio calmed himself down by taking a deep breath and exhaling it slowly. He looked at the door in front of him.

"I'm home." Fumio.

"Eiji. Tomorrow I have a meeting with the other noble mothers. Maybe until noon. Can you take me and pick me up?." Fumio approached his mother who had just come out of the kitchen.

"Purchase. Tou san's? (Dad?)." Fumio glanced at his sister who was asleep in his father's arms.

"Eiji, just got home. Your sister's staying up late because it's holiday tomorrow" she said." Fumio smiled warmly typical of an older brother, rubbing the soft shoots of his sister's head.

"Daddy take your sister to the room first." The pump went away.

"Eiji." There was a worried tone from her mother's voice.

"Hm?." Fumio turned his head with a typical smile that always managed to make his mother calmer.

"You know what's going to be discussed at tomorrow's meeting?." Ask carefully.

"Yes, I know." Answer Fumio kalem.

"Are you okay?." The soft and warm hand rubbed his son's head.

"I'm sorry, of course you're not okay. Mother will fight for the position of the mother's son as the prospective fiancee hime chan, no one can seize it." Fumio took his mother's hand that was overhead, cupping her with both hands.

"thank you. I won't give up Mom, even if I have to fight a thousand enemies." The woman smiled proudly.

"You really look a lot like your father. So I remember how valiant your father was when facing your grandparents who were against our relationship. You deserve Eiji's hime chan." Fumio's warm embrace got from the mother.

"How is hime chan now?. She must have grown up to be a very beautiful, jolly, intelligent woman. I miss the smile of my future mother's daughter-in-law." Fumio smiled slightly.

Smile, Fumio repeated in his heart. Because the blue girl is now very difficult to smile like before.

"Since when did hime chan come back here?. Why don't you just take her home?." The woman deciphered her hug, looking at the son.

"You didn't do anything weird, did you to hime chan?." The hardship.

"Mother, I'm not a disrespectful man." Answer Fumio.

"Thank God, fearing that your longing can't be controlled anymore for a dozen years is hidden, you're doing something weird." Fumio reviewed the smile.

"Mom, I'll go to the room first." Pamit Fumio cut off their conversation. Not wanting to answer his mother's questions, Fumio did not want to lie.

"Ung, rest."

***

Who could have imagined behind this small forest were towering bamboo trees, and who would have thought at the end of the bamboo tree path there were four branching paths. The stones had different colors, Yuki had to take the road with the black colored stone.

Scared?, no. Yuki was used to it. He enjoyed his journey. At the end of the path was a shadow in the moonlight, the night wind blew the cherry blossoms and passed through Yuki's face.

Akashi who saw Yuki's figure immediately kneeled in respect. Though Yuki does not often interact with the man with long scratches on his face but Yuki feels good to be reunited with the man.

"Steel up Akashi san."

The distinctive voice of her young lady split the silence of the night. Akashi raised his head before standing up.

Yuki's figure slowly came out from within the trees. The moonlight clarified the figure of the girl.

Ojou alike!, cried Akashi inwardly.

During this time he and the other six shadows had never seen the real face of their young miss. Her sama Ojou grew into a very beautiful girl, her beauty was exactly the same as that described by the old book inside the main residence library. Beauty of the emperor. One different, one pair of blue eyes.

"Ojou the same, you dye your hair?." That was the first word that came out of Akashi's mouth.

"What looks bad?."

"No, it fits you perfectly." Yuki was getting closer, he circulated his gaze to the field in front of him.

"This place always surprises me." Lirih Yuki's.

"This is your first time here. Because the black stone road is very taboo to pass. The great lord forbids anyone from getting into it." Akashi.

"Hmm." Mumbled Yuki.

"Let's ojou the same, everyone's waiting." Akashi stretched out one hand forward.

"Are we going to run?." Yuki asked as she welcomed Akashi's hand.

"I don't care if that's your wish." Yuki nodded her head.

"Let's run."

Akashi balances his running steps with Yuki, his hand not taking off the girl's hand, to lead the way on a dark night.

Yuki was not surprised if they re-entered the forest, he did not know where to take them but now they were down the hill. The road is very steep, there are no lights, very far from the settlement. Akashi stopped at the edge of the cliff.

"We're going to plunge the same ojou." Yuki stuck out her neck to look down.

The cliffs are very high, the water below is also very swift, many pointed rocks. On the other side of the cliff there is a large waterfall. Yuki was more observing the cliff wall.

"Is this some kind of Hollywood movie?." Ask Yuki. True too, his life path is similar to that of an American film.

"The great master who made it, the geographer does not play games in all the making." Akashi.

"Will you ride on my back?." Yuki glanced at Akashi.

"If I jump myself already in make sure the rocks and the raging currents down there greet me with open arms." Akashi chuckled with Yuki's joke.

"Then let's. I'll drive you safely."

Yuki climbed up Akashi's back and wrapped his arms around the man's neck, clutching Akashi's waist with both feet. Yuki can guess Akashi will take him jumping down and Yuki does not want to be separated from Akashi's sling because it is still a pity for life.

Leisurely Akashi dashed two steps forward and, leaping!. Yuki felt the coldness of the wind as well as the rumbling sound from the waterfall. Akashi really took him freefall.

Grep's!.

His left hand held onto the protruding stone. This is Yuki's chance to observe the cliff. The beads move quickly on every rock. Akashi's body is hanging.

"Wow trap." Akashi smiled broadly.

"You are indeed very genius ojou alike. The great lord prepared many traps on this cliff. Even inside the waterfall behind us." Yuki is interested in learning what kind of traps his grandfather set up.

"There are only three correct handles on every five meters." Yuki observed the grip that Akashi was clutching.

Not much different, Yuki's mind then found a strange mark next to the stone. The sign is not clear because on the sidelines of the rocks jutted inward.

Wooosh.

Akashi let go of his hand. Yuki looked at the set of traps that were randomly planted in that short period of time.

Grep's!.

"Are there any strange animals in that river?." Yuki. It would be interesting if there were crocodiles down there.

"The snakes." Yuki glanced at Akashi's face.

"The great master nurtured them after they had finished setting the trap." Akashi.

"Why not a crocodile?." Yuki rarely protested once even about the two predators.

"Hahaha, ojou is the same if crocodiles will bother if they breed more and more. Besides they also need to sunbathe, it's more dangerous if they're basking at the end of the river." Yuki disagrees with Akashi's idea.

"Easier snake ojou same. Their residence there were only two holes, they could not find another residence. Just a minute." Akashi said, then took off his hand again.

Wooosh.

Grep's!.

"You see the cliff on our right side?, far below." Akashi said after re-gripping the third stone.

Yuki followed Akashi's index finger. The man had come down with only one hand. Is Yuki too light for Akashi?.

"Electricity ... Hydropower." Lirih Yuki at the end of the sentence.

"really. The snakes are not strong with electricity. If they try to escape the river through the barrier, high voltage electricity will shock them to a scorch." Yuki immediately turned his head to the left, there he saw her as well.

"If they creep up, they'll be chopped small." Yuki felt disgusted.

"On the cliff we also have many traps, it's just that the trap in the waterfall is different."

"If anyone accidentally falls down there and is still alive. They'll be snake-fed or electrocuted." Yuki concluded.

"Yes and no." Answer Akashi.

"Hm?."

"If the man can escape the serpents he will drift away under the current. Electricity is only made specifically for snakes."

"Isn't it a problem too if they breed more and more."

"Snake down there the same ojou cannibal. They can eat other species. With a scarce food supply they'll kill each other." Yuki was again disgusted.

"For the security of the shadow headquarters."

"Eh?!." Yuki was startled and just then Akashi jumped down a bit obliquely.

Wooosh.

Grep.

Bruk!.

Akashi held the upper lip of the narrow stone hole and threw his body to the side. Yuki was flabbergasted, only this time was there anything that could make him as amazed and amazed as he was now. Akashi stepped forward slightly, lowering Yuki in a safe place.

"Ojou same?." Akashi held back a smile looking at Yuki's bengong face.

What is this what is this what is this?!, Yuki screamed inwardly. Twenty meters below the cliff, the last handle was not straight with the cave, they were slanted!. The cave is at a distance of forty inches beside the handle, if people think they are on the right path and plunge without a second thought they will just pass through the cave door. No no no, the cave door is amazing. He was facing sideways!, not forward like a cave in general. From the cliff sebrang will not be seen there is a cave here, let alone can only be passed by one person. Oh yes aampuunn, grandfather!. Why don't you teach me!, Yuki stirred himself in his mind.

The girl was silent because of the last sentence. He was never with his grandfather, perhaps. In his memory now.

"Ojou same?." Repeat Akashi.

"Grandpa is amazing." Comment Yuki.

"And it's down to you and waka." Added Akashi.

"So, where are we going?." Tanya Yuki was very enthusiastic.

"We go into the same ojou."

Yuki followed Akashi. Around the cave door it was so dark that they turned left into the cliff wall. Torch-shaped lights lit up along the way.

"I feel like I'm getting into the witch's base in the movies." Akashi laughed again at Yuki's joke.

"Ojou alike, how many movies did you watch?." Yuki answered quickly.

"Three."

"Slightly, you don't like watching movies?." Tanya Akashi took the road to the right.

"There's no time." Short, solid, hit Akashi. Her young lady is still a teenager.

Akashi turned left through the hallway in front of him. They were getting into the heart of the cave. Yuki thought he would find a stone door like in an ancient movie that he had seen was not. His grandfather used a steel door. Akashi performs a series of ciphers without using the clan tattoo on his hand.

Ddzzzsttt.

The door was split in two, the bright lights instantly lunged at Yuki's bead.

"OJOU SAME!." Familiar shout greeted Yuki's hilarious. The girl was adjusting her eyes to the light.

Akashi stepped in first turning his body towards Yuki.

"Ojou is the same." Call Akashi and bow his head.

Yuki had already managed to see clearly. Inside the not-so-large luxurious hall were the nine shadows kneeling to him. A tall, well-built figure, who was very resolutely standing smiled at him.

"Welcome to the shadow's original headquarters. Yuki." Greet Daren with his dignity and charisma.

"Did you jump off a cliff yourself?." Daren was surprised by the random question from her daughter.

"Yes." Yeah." Yuki walked over to Daren looking from top to bottom on purpose.

"With clothes like this?." Ask Yuki, the article Daren wear clothes pride, especially if not. Shirts, material pants, suits, and ties are always attached to his neck.

"Yes. I can't change clothes." Yuki stared at the blue bead of Daren that was darker than her.

"Wasn't Grandpa a genius. Grandpa was able to make all of this. That's so crazy!." Yuki said with a carefree tone and a sparkling face, and with a beautiful smile, her blue bead seemed to light up.

Daren and Mizutani and Dazai, happy to see the look of the face that used to be every day adorned Yuki's face and since decades ago had disappeared, they have only seen it again now.

"You like it?." Ask Daren.

"Purchase!. Very." Very." Answer Yuki steady.

"You can look around after our goal is done." Daren. Yuki raised an eyebrow and turned to the shadows.

"Okay, looks like this is gonna be serious." Daren gave the code to the shadow stand.

"It's good to see you again." Sapa Yuki's.

"It's nice to be in good health." Reply Mizutani. Yuki smiled, he also turned to Dazai.

"good. We'll start the meeting." After hearing Daren's words, all the shadows took their places. Mizutani pulls the chair while bowing, Yuki understands that this is where she is.

He walked past Daren and sat on the right seat. Daren with his charisma sat on the oversized chair where the head of the shadows was. Daren's echoing voice makes Yuki re-admit that she is fascinated with her father's charisma and prestige, even though she used to hate him. What about now?, the hatred was cut off after he learned the truth.

"First of all, I'll unlock the secrets I've been keeping." Everyone listened carefully.

"Hachibara Yuki received punishment from Hachibara Ayumi." Yuki widened her eyes, not expecting her father to tell them all.

A gasp and surprised voice escaped the mouths of the shadows who did not know it. A strange growl faintly sounded from the shadows yet there was one person who clearly and loudly voiced his anger.

"Yesaauu ... The boy. What did you do to your own daughter!. Darren ..!. You didn't forget we were made for ojou equally didn't you. Your father-in-law left his grandson to you!, baj*ngan!." It happened so fast that Yuki could not twitch in surprise.

SRUUUAAAKK!!.

BRUUUOAKKK!!!.

The room was very chaotic. Mizutani holds Ryuu's grandfather's body crashing forward, Dazai holds Akashi, while Daren holds Hiza to his left and Ame to his right. Chibi moved quickly on the floor from the left side winding through the scattered seats, Ogura moved like the wind, they were aiming for one person. Darren!.

"Je!. Disable. Shoot!." Mizutani and Dazai who knew who the order was meant to steal a glance towards Yuki who was still sitting in his place.

ZEB!.

ZEB!.

BRUK!.

BRUK!.

Everyone was shocked, suddenly their two comrades fell to the floor, motionless. A toy floated in the middle of the table facing the only person standing still.

"Do you want to attack me too?." Yuki's voice tone was cold. Jojo was confused to see the toy.

"Hiza san, keep your knife away. Ame san." The rebuke from Yuki stopped a second of his movements but not with their intentions.

"Je, combat mode. Shoot."

Je transforms very quickly, it does not take a second to change.

Dor's!.

Dor's!.

Dak!.

Dak!.

The bullet slid quickly beside Hiza and Ame's ears, hitting the steel door behind Daren's back. Everyone was shocked except for Mizutani and Dazai. Daren looked seriously at his daughter who was staring in the other direction.

"If only one shadow moves. My bullet will penetrate you." Yuki was still using her cold tone.

Yuki turned her head to the end of the table across the side, looking straight at Ryuu's grandfather's bead.

"They move because you move. Even they did not bother to look at Tsuttsun who was clearly the shadow leader here. How much they respect you, Grandpa Ryuu." The air turned cold.

"Yuki's. The polite. Sorry Ryuu san, Yuki doesn't remember you." After Daren reprimands Yuki he apologizes to Ryuu's grandfather.

"Dad," Yuki's sentence was cut by Daren.

"Keep that toy away." Let's Daren.

"No, they're still stirred emotions where I might pull Je."

"Should I shoot them in the head, Yuki?."

That thing can talk!, exclaimed the shadows. Daren looked at Je not like it.

"The shadows won't try to attack me again. Keep him away." Yuki moved her index finger telling Je to come closer.

"Stay alert beside me Je." Daren sighed letting go of her lockdown on Hiza and Ame.

"Grandfather Ryuu, you see for yourself. Ojou hasn't messed around all this time." Lirih Mizutani draws the old man's attention from the owl Yuki to him.

"Ojou similarly made a terrible tool again?." Asked Grandpa Ryuu not less shrill.

"Yes, I hope you listen to Daren dono's explanation calmly." Grandpa Ryuu quietly wiped his tears at the corner of his eyes and sat back down.

Seeing Grandfather Ryuu who was sitting the other shadow came back to sit and bowed deeply to Daren earlier.

"I'm sorry, I know you're very disappointed in me. But I have no reason to deny how much I'm not good at keeping Yuki." Hearing that explanation and seeing her ninety-degree bent father made Yuki unwilling.

"Dad!, it's not your fault. Stop slouching." Yuki sarcas.

"No Yuki, it's all dad's fault for not being able to stop your mother." Yuki clenched her hands restraining emotions.

"Stop blaming yourself. The wrong one here is me." Daren was surprised, he straightened his body looking at Yuki. The girl's gaze was straight ahead.

"Yuki is very angry, Yuki is upset, Yuki is sad. Let's get out of here, leave the bad guys who hurt you." Je's babble throws off Yuki's emotions, the girl takes a deep breath pushing Je's owl's head, anxious.

"I'll make sure to remove your facial features Je." Lirih Yuki's. Je came back closer.

"No. Don'tdon't. No." Yuki pushed Je back.

"Back to normal mode."

"On confirmation." Je returns to the form of an ordinary mini owl.

"Dad."

"Yuki's."

They call each other at the same time.

"I remember all the attacks of the two. So please, stop blaming yourself. Most importantly I'm alive now, to get my revenge on BD." Yuki stood up pulling the oversized Daren chair then bowed politely.

"We're in a meeting." Yuki reminded with a sincere smile on her face.

Until whenever father won't win attacking that demon, father is just an ordinary person practicing in the dojo, inner Yuki.

Daren walked over, peeping briefly at Yuki's head.

"Thank you, father's daughter." Bisik Daren then landed himself sitting on a chair. Yuki returned to her own seat.

"Je, the antidote shot." Three seconds later Chibi and Ogura could move and sit down, returning to their seats.

"After Ayumi and I decided to leave the main residence because we felt unsafe, we stayed in Tokyo for six months. The shadows always keep their distance from Ayumi after being in shape instead, avoiding Ayumi's suspicions, so you weren't at the scene of the two-night assault." Darren began to explain.

"That night's assault was so great that the protectors we brought all fell. Rin, Fumihiro's younger brother who escaped from the yakuza's shoal found us and helped me attack the enemy. Ayumi protects Yuki from staying in the room." Daren looked over to look at his daughter.

"When the enemy was about to slash my neck Ayumi came with her katana. He cleared all remaining enemies. I think that's where Ayumi lost her mind and punished Yuki who came out of the room. But I was wrong." Daren took a deep breath.

"You remember?." Asked Daren, Yuki nodded weakly.

"Do you still hate your mother?." Yuki discards her face disconnecting eye contact with Daren. Daren looked back at the shadows.

"Ayumi told her why she did it after we moved to Indonesia." Daren leaned his back against the chair.

"That night the leader of the white dragon clan was watching Yuki's movements through the window in the room. Actually he doesn't know who the maker of the tool is, father's scenario is correct, but since the boy he's looking for has already disappeared he accidentally sees Yuki being with Ayumi and me. Following us, while convincing the yakuza to attack massively again. That night only the yakuza members attacked us while the BD, observing from the outside. He tapped the phone sitting in the room to eavesdrop on Ayumi's conversation."

"Yuki said something that should be hidden, Ayumi tried to calm her down that I and the others would not be hurt. But Yuki who used to be the least fond of violence, and traumatized by the incision wound is very frightened and continues to concoct to use the tools he made. It was heard by BD." Daren doesn't like to tell this.

"BD called the phone in the room. He laughed out loud and told Ayumi his whereabouts. They fight until a deal happens." Daren shut up for a second.

"BD who was ready to attack and seize Yuki was blocked by Ayumi by locking the window from the inside. But BD cunningly seduces Yuki with matchstick-shaped tappers and folding knives of various shapes. Yuki who is interested in being prevented by Ayumi. BD had already decided to attack right then and that was when Ayumi submitted a deal. BD must resist not attacking Yuki until he takes out the people outside. After that Ayumi will happily fight BD."

"Just when the last person who was cut down by Ayumi had killed Yuki came out from inside the room. Ayumi, who realizes BD has sent his men. Two long-range shooters." Daren glanced at Yuki.

"That's directed at me and Ayumi. Ayumi decides to erase Yuki's memories. Ayumi does not want the night's horrifying memories and the memories relating to the clan to trigger the memories of a terrible night for Yuki, so he erases everything except when he's playing in kindergarten with his new friend."

Yuki so remembered Tiara.

"BD who doesn't know about the punishment still hasn't given the firing order, luckily he hasn't tapped into the other phones either so he can't hear our conversation." Daren straightened his back. Look one by one at the shadows.

"After the execution process was completed Ayumi quickly shot BD, and kicked me out of the shot. BD is injured in the heart, he orders his men to hold fire because Ayumi has already locked her head. One move Ayumi's bullet can go through BD's head."

"BD asks Ayumi what happened to Yuki. Ayumi answered honestly. That makes BD can no longer target Yuki. Before Ayumi could take off her bullets, BD's men had taken their leader away." Daren looked back at his daughter. Yuki knew, without Daren telling her even Yuki had remembered. That is what often causes prolonged stress.

"Yuki's."

"Hm." The girl was reluctant to return the gaze of her father who wanted to defend Ayumi even though it was true, but Yuki still could not forgive Ayumi.

"For that reason your mother changed her attitude towards you. He was afraid that not doing so would provoke the punishment to react. Yuki, Ayumi was also tormented. I've tried to persuade her not to worry about it, your punishment won't be active just because of her warm attitude towards you, but Ayumi is very stubborn. Your mother's been sorry, Yuki ib,"

"Dad!." Yuki stopped Daren.

"The shadows that grandfather was proud of were crying. Daddy entertain them first." Yuki. Daren distracts him.

Justright. They cry in silence. Their bodies are shaking.

"It's not your fault. You guys did the job right." Daren.

Brucks. Brucks. Brucks. Brucks. Brucks. Brucks. Brucks. Brucks. Brucks.

Everyone left their seats and prostrated to Daren asking for mercy and attacked him, even Mizutani and Daren who had just heard the full story felt guilty for hating Ayumi.

"You don't have to do it. Stand up, remember our purpose tonight." Let's Daren. No one dared to deny or speak. Everything quiet.

"What about Rin?." Asked Yuki who couldn't hold back his curiosity any longer.

"What do you mean?."

"Why did you hire him in the pavilion?." Daren.

"When Ayumi kicked dad to get away from Rin's shot, it also pulled him away. I gave her a second chance." Answer Daren. His hand rubbed Yuki's head.

"Do you hate Rin because she likes Eiji?." Yuki rolled her eyeballs.

"I don't remember it, there's no connection to that person." Answer Yuki ketus.

"Did you understand." Said Daren withdrawing his hand, returning to the topic of discussion.

"Yuki's already passed the third level punishment, and now she doesn't easily remember like before." The pure and grateful look was clearly visible on the faces of the shadows except for Mizutani and Dazai who already knew this.

"Never has anyone passed the second stage of punishment even Yuri's grandmother and Go's grandfather also said it. Yuki being able to survive until now was a miracle."

Silent.

"Now you know Yuki's condition. We're going straight to the core of the meeting." Everyone nodded in unison.

"It should have been at your seventeenth age that father did. Yuki, your coronation as shadow chief will be done now."

Note: Sorry for the readers, autor again drop since a few days ago. Author is actually easy to drop not like those😅. Sorry to disappoint again, this author can only up one chapter but more than 4800 words really. Sorry, thank you for reading the author's work.
