"Grandmother didn't tell Yuki's change to you?." Ask Hotaru.
"No, Fumihiro, who was in charge of receiving all the information from the great mistress after that, only told all the residents of the great residence and the honorable families who were still loyal." Yamazaki replied glancing at Fumio at a glance.
"I'm sure something happened after the second attack." Hotaru's words left Yamazaki and Fumio confused.
"Is there a second attack?." Ask Fumio.
"You don't know either?." Hotaru's hands moved quickly forming another line.
"What do you mean the attack in Indonesia?." Yamazaki.
"No, it's the third assault." Hotaru looked at the two people alternately then continued her story.
"Rin told me. Not long after I left father and mother took Yuki and some of the bodyguards left the residence instead." Fumio nodded.
"I don't know when exactly but clearly that night the father and mother were attacked, Rin who managed to escape the enemy looking for the existence of the main family found the father and mother attacked. All the bodyguards were killed only his own father left, Rin tried to protect his father but he was also paralyzed. And, I raised the katana." Yamazaki has great goosebumps as well as Fumio.
Hotaru who was unaware of the change in the two for being too focused on the story she shared continued her sentence.
"Mother used the hereditary katana of the great-grandfather, slaughtering all enemies by herself." Yamazaki stiffened even to swallow his saliva alone he could not.
"After the incident Rin was sent to the doctor's confidant while the father, mother, and Yuki went to Indonesia. Mom decided to meet me to make sure I was okay, but one week after mom got there." Hotaru was silent for a moment.
"I forgot exactly when." Hotaru thought hard but did not find the answer she wanted.
"Just a few days after arriving in Indonesia the third attack occurred, you know the continuation." Hotaru took a deep breath glancing at the two people who were still motionless.
"What's wrong with you guys?." Hotaru waited for someone to answer her question.
"Have you never heard of Ayumi Dono who never held her katana?." Ask Fumio.
"Of course I know."
"Why do you look so ordinary, young master?." Quick connect Yamazaki.
"Of course not, mom doesn't like violence like little Yuki."
"Little yuki?." Removing Fumio. Yamazaki massaged his forehead.
"My head is starting to hurt."
"We get rid of mom and talk about Yuki more importantly." Hotaru.
"Pick."
"You're right."
"Listen carefully." Hotaru took a deep breath.
"Yuki is very changeable, she rarely smiles to others, does not like to play, she is also very good at martial arts even I myself am not her match, she is not close to anyone. His relationship with his father as if limited to coworkers, Yuki since junior high school has plunged into corporate affairs, he easily takes care of all the business affairs of the father, his relationship with the mother is very bad. Yuki hates mom so much." Hotaru recalls the incident in the morning when Interpol member Arga was at her house, Yuki is furious with Ayumi, trying to hit the woman who had given birth to her.
"What's going on?." Another shocking fact sets Yamazaki and Fumio up for a worse possibility.
"When I was kidnapped my psychology shaken as you know and I made a mistake with Yuki, six-year-old Yuki got mother's tantrums." Fumio tried to stay calm even though his mind drifted to the little girl's smile.
"Mother repeatedly slapped Yuki and locked her in the barn, I couldn't stop her, no one could stop her." Yamazaki nodded in agreement.
"Yuki was removed from the warehouse already in critical condition, that incident was the beginning of Yuki hating mother." Hotaru took a deep breath rubbing her face violently.
An attitude that Yamazaki and Fumio had never seen, Hotaru had never looked this broken even when the man knew that he had to protect his sister. Fumio and Yamazaki held each of Hotaru's shoulders.
"You okay?." Ask soft Fumio.
"So, I hate myself." Hotaru's answer breaks the hearts of Fumio and Yamazaki.
"I told you it wasn't your fault." Fumio squeezed his best friend's shoulders softly.
"That fellow in front of Yuki's school quickly realized I was going far away, he was trying to stop the car that mom and I were riding in. Running after the car, until he is hit by a motorcycle, though a lot of blood comes out of his hands, feet, and head Yuki still chasing the car with a motorcycle whether he gets where the motorcycle is from." Hotaru was shedding her tears remembering that terrible day.
"Yuki got in the way of the car, she kept calling my name." The circle of tears increasingly rapidly fell from the brown bead he explained.
"The blue eye asked me not to leave it, just like I left it." Fumio's tugging was choked considering the little Yuki who was trying to catch Hotaru first.
"I didn't expect, I could have done it to Yuki." Hotaru gritted her teeth quite hard.
"My mother, bumped into her daughter who was standing with all the wounds on her body." Hotaru's voice is shaking.
Yamazaki and Fumio were throwing glances at each other.
"What mother didn't think, what if I lost Yuki!, what if Yuki died back then!, I've gone mad! I can't live without my twin sister. I tried to get out of the car but a bodyguard held me down." Hotaru's body shook slowly.
"His gaze at that time I could never forget, he just looked at me and I could do nothing. I desperately tried to call out his name, the body lying, motionless, his blood .., his blood ..." Fumio stood up quickly to Hotaru hugging her best friend's body.
"I'm sorry, Eiji, I can't stop you. I can't keep our Yuki .., sorry." Fumio squeezed out Hotaru's shoulders.
"How many times do I have to say, it's not your fault." Fumio said but could not be denied the man was dripping his tears.
Yamazaki dissolves into the fact that he can, he lets Hotaru weep, spilling all the burdens that the young man has borne since childhood.
Hotaru felt it was better that Fumio stepped up to take three cups of water to give it to Hotaru, Yamazaki, and to himself.
"So, what's the reason you left ojou chan?." Ask Yamazaki slowly.
"Mother caught traces of abuse on my back, she interrogated what happened when I was kidnapped. I've said it just now, no, if my body is used by them to test the poison I made, the moment they threatened to kill me more viciously I made the poison they wanted and it was still in there." Hotaru pointed at the spot between her chest.
"Ap ha! stumps."
BRAK!. Yamazaki's lips couldn't speak properly because they were so clenched that he ventured by hitting the table with his punch.
"Let's calm now that I'm healed, my scar is gone, and nothing's left behind." Hotaru gave a small smile glancing at Fumio whose face had already turned red.
"Takkecchan listen to me." Hotaru caught the attention of the man.
"What makes our situation even more desperate is Yuki who really became what grandfather was afraid of." Yamazaki massaged his forehead again, Fumio leaning his back against the chair.
"Yuki unintentionally saw my scar and she quickly checked my pulse and breathing. Only by doing those two things did Yuki know there was poison in my body, even he knew that poison was not an ordinary poison, he took a sample of my blood and made an antidote. He promised to finish the bidder within a week." Hotaru downed her drink.
"But it was too late, some time before there was someone who tried to shoot me, fortunately Yuki saved me in time otherwise I might have died."
"Continue." Pinta Yamazaki who has set his heart.
"Because of some reason that mother decided to take me away, other than to cure me the same other reason as grandfather. I can't be with Yuki anymore or everything we've done will be for nothing." Yamazaki nodded, Fumio just kept quiet.
"Have they got that much information." Yamazaki.
"No, they're from a different group. Our enemy used the poison I made to kill the leader of the other group, and the group targeted the poisoner." Hotaru.
"Our enemies are growing." Yamazaki.
"No, we can calm down because Rin has already finished this foreign group." Answer Hotaru.
"Yes, you'll be happy Takkecchan." Yamazaki awaits the continuation of Hotaru's sentence.
"Yuki made a secret room inside her room." Yamazaki.
"In there is so amazing." Yamazaki is still waiting.
"The laboratory and the workshop are amazing, you can't imagine all the discoveries. A needle that can put the enemy to sleep because of its artificial liquid, a small to large bomb, a sophisticated computer that will obey everything Yuki says, there are many more. I didn't want to believe it when he brought me into his room, but they're all real." Hotaru and Yamazaki took a heavy breath.
"Who knows the room?." Ask Fumio.
"Me and grandma, but grandma never knew the contents of Yuki's actual room, grandma was only in the break room. Only I knew the contents of Yuki's workshop, Yuki also wanted to show me the contents of the laboratory but I refused. I can't see it."
"Well, what worries the great lord is now a reality, for all these reasons I know why the great madam and Daren dono hid ojou chan from Ayumi dono." Fumio nodded.
"Ayumi dono acts out of our minds, there's no way Ayumi dono could hurt Yuki again." Fumio said as he glanced at Hotaru.
"I know, I also think like that but honestly my little heart wants to reject it." Yamazaki advanced his chair.
"What do you know you've told all the young masters?." Ask Yamazaki.
"There's one more thing." Yamazaki nodded briefly.
"The new information I've been getting lately, Yuki's sick." Hotaru stared inside Yamazaki's bead.
"When Yuki remembers the incident I left her the last time Yuki would be in pain and bleed from her nose and mouth. Takkecchan, we asked you about this disease, didn't we." Yamazaki started massaging his forehead, again.
"The three of us clearly saw the great-grandmother in her room that afternoon." Hotaru.
"What did you explain back then was true?, is it possible that Yuki experienced the same thing?." Yamazaki was still silent, making Hotaru undo his intention to again urge the man.
Hotaru again scribbled the paper. His mouth was mashing something.
"That can do such a thing is only great-grandmother and great-grandfather, it is something that is passed down only in our family, something that is sacred, he said, others who do not have our blood will not be able to do so. A very guarded legacy." Hotaru's hands stopped moving.
"Who?." Ask me, Hotaru.
"Who?, great-grandmother died when we were just five years old, two months before the attack." Hotaru thought hard.
"Great-grandmother .., she wouldn't have the heart to do that to Yuki. Grandma loved him very much." Hotaru stiffened, her ballpoint pen moved making two branched lines.
"Grandmother's great-grandmother or i-bu ..?." Hotaru slowly turned to Yamazaki.
"I don't really remember with great-grandfather, is it possible that great-grandfather did it to Yuki?, are they confused about determining the heir?!." Hotaru had unknowingly raised her voice at the end.
"No young master no, the elder has already decided you as the heir there is no doubt in his decision back then. We all accepted it, even honorable families came when the decision was made." Clearly Yamazaki was careful, instinctively he slightly bowed to Hotaru who was currently turning very serious.
"Eiji, tell me what you think." Hotaru turned to her best friend who was currently sitting with a perfect attitude, returning Hotaru's gaze calmly.
"My father was one of those present at the meeting, what Takeru san said was true. Do you also doubt all my father's stories that Hotaru gave me?." Reply Fumio firmly.
"There's no way I can doubt Fumio san who is respected by my family." Answer Hotaru.
"But this is very strange, are there no characteristics when someone is exposed to this disease?." Hotaru recalls the book she read in her home library.
"Yuki doesn't show any symptoms, nor have I ever read a book about this disease." Yamazaki ventured to speak.
"The answer is in ojou chan the young master." Hotaru furrowed her brows.
"What do you mean?."
"The two used the skill to punish the guards, servants, even honorable families who dared to hurt or betray the main family. It was the harshest punishment for our clan, some have even asked for the death penalty instead of receiving it." It was clearly Yamazaki who saw the punishment several times.
"The answer is only if we meet with ojou chan, we can ask him, or maybe it will be answered when ojou chan meets us." Yamazaki concluded.
"But is it possible that this is really the same disease?." Hotaru still wants answers.
"Most likely like that." Answer Yamazaki.
"Isn't there no cure?." Sergey Hotaru is starting to grow upset.
"Yes young master."
"Will Yuki experience the same thing as the woman in the great-grandmother's room?." Hotaru's heart was beating very fast.
"Continue bleeding, pain, confusion."
BRAKK !!.
Hotaru slammed her head violently onto the table, both of her hands pulling a frustrated back mane.
"Hotaru!."
"Young master!."
"Damn!. Damnit damnit!. Damnit damnit!. Siaaall!!!." Jerit Hotaru.
Yamazaki tried to keep Hotaru's hand away to stop pulling her hair.
"What are you doing huh!." Fumio made Hotaru freeze.
"Take your body." Fumio resolutely resuscitated Hotaru for her pain.
"Sorry." Lirih Hotaru put her hand away.
"Trust her, no matter how much she changes, she's still our little girl." The beautiful words from Fumio warmed Hotaru's heart, slowly returning to a normal beat.
The great elders and masters did not wrongly judge you Eiji kun, the inner Yamazaki smiled.
"We're back to the core." Fumio Pinta.
"Let's connect ." Yamazaki said he invited the two teenagers to focus.
"The first attack was expected to occur after the last elder (grandmother) died, the charade that you are the control holder all succeeded and you agree to the charade." Yamazaki stared at Hotaru to make sure.
"Yes, right." Answer Hotaru.
"You who were chosen as the heir volunteered to be the protector, I'm sure you already know of the third assault." Yamazaki again waited for Hotaru's answer.
"Yes, right. Grandpa anticipated it but if something bad happens I have to be ready, and it happens." Yamazaki nodded steadily.
"You've worked hard to survive in enemy headquarters in Indonesia. The great master also told us that you will definitely survive, forbidding us from attacking them to save you. Because if that happens, it might lead to bad relations between the two countries." Hotaru.
"The same reason goes for Daren dono and Ayumi dono, the great master told us that he doubted them after seeing Ayumi dono so devastated by your departure." Hotaru began to move her hand back on the paper.
"But now, Daren dono is with the big lady while Ayumi dono is not known to exist." Fumio stared at the busy Hotaru with his paper.
"Where is Ayumi dono?." Fumio calmly asked a question that had been plaguing the minds of all the people in the clan.
"Switzerland."
