An hour passed, a long time. Yuki seemed to have calmed down, his body drooping weakly in Mizutani's embrace.
"I'll check it out in the room, Masamune san should be back soon." Said Dazai taking Yuki's body from Mizutani.
"I'll clean up here."
The two men split their respective tasks. Mizutani immediately cleaned the pool of blood on the floor, then washed the cloth used for cleaning.
While in the room, Yuki woke up because of the touch of a syringe and a very fishy smell disturbed him.
"Ojou chan, you're awake. What pain?." Dazai asked her voice was very hoarse, crying too much.
Dazai smilingly looked at Yuki, the state of the girl was very weak, even to just open her eyes could not open perfectly.
"Je." Jne." Lirih Yuki was like a whisper.
The owl flew over Yuki's head.
"Weak heart rate. Body condition is very bad. Yuki needs immediate treatment." The owl reports it after scanning Yuki's body. Dazai stared at the robot's amazement.
"Get Je body recovery liquid." Yuki's still like a whisper.
"good. Confirmed." Je flew straight into the closet after taking out his little robotic hand.
"Ojou chan, sorry your clothes haven't been changed, waiting for Masamune san soon is it okay?." Yuki smiled in response.
Je again floated over Yuki's head carrying a small bottle whose cap was yellow.
"Dai chan, please inject that liquid into me." Lirih Yuki's.
"Are you sure?." Yuki smiled again in response.
Dazai doesn't ask much, he takes a bottle from Je injecting it into Yuki's arm.
"Yuki!." Masamune walked quickly closer towards the bed, his hand wiping away the tears violently.
"S time."
"I will prepare your warm water and your clothes. You should take a shower." Cut Masamune wants to get out of there immediately so Yuki doesn't see her tears.
"Five more minutes I'll bring Ojou chan down." Dazai said before Masamune left.
"She's a good woman." Dazai's comments while staring at Yuki's bead.
The faint smile on those pale lips was engraved thinly.
Dazai carried Yuki to the first floor to bring her into the bathroom, where there was already Mizutani, sitting on the edge of the bath with a wide towel stretched over his legs to the whole body plus the man wearing a raincoat.
"I should have brought one sister here." Dazai's grunts were heard by Mizutani and Yuki.
"It's not the first time." Reply Mizutani.
"Ready captain." Dazai replied giving Yuki to Mizutani.
"Excuse me." Masamune came in after Dazai left.
"Sorry, trouble you Masamune san." Mizutani said to the woman.
"I feel it's also my responsibility." Masamune shrewdly undressed Yuki one by one, while Mizutani had closed his eyes.
The weak girl's body could not be released for a second or Yuki would fall down, like a thread that would bend if not held properly. Only while sleeping did Yuki not need guarding.
His face was paler than the first time Mizutani San brought Yuki home, even he could not open his eyes properly. His breathing is very weak. Look at this hand, Inner Masamune hung his sentence.
Want how strong he held it down the tears fell too. Masamune cleaned Yuki's arm very carefully as if he was wiping a cracked glass.
Even Mizutani san and Dazai san .., their eyes are puffy, who would be strong to see a good girl like Yuki experience something bad like this, Masamune complained inwardly.
Yuki heard it, although he could not move his head to look at Masamune but he heard it. Masamune's sobbing sound, the woman's teardrops hitting her skin. Yuki smiled faintly.
"Thank you Masa san." Masamune's hand stopped glancing at Yuki who was trying to open her eyelids wider, but nil. The girl is too weak.
"I cried for me." Yuki continued to make Masamune bite his lower lip firmly holding back his crying voice.
"Ekhem. I'll wash your hair." Masamune switched the conversation.
The Mizutani who heard that moved her hand to Yuki's back neck without opening her eyes and without misdirection, the secret exercise of a shadow 'moving freely in the dark' making the girl look up to Masamune easier to do her job.
The woman starts to wet Yuki's head finding an oddity there.
Tests. Tests. Tests.
Her tears fell on the girl's forehead. Slowly Masamune continued to wash Yuki's hair.
It must have been sore until his scalp was this red, Inner Masamune glanced at Yuki who remained silent expressionless.
It takes a long time in the bathroom because of its inadequate place. Now the girl looks fresher without the fishy smell. Mizutani takes Yuki out of the bathroom after the girl's perfect appearance. The fragrance that Yuki had not smelled for a very long time made the girl open her eyes wider.
"Tsutsun, stop." Mizutani stopped between the kitchen and the living room.
"I want to sit in the kitchen." Her request.
Mizutani glanced at Masamune who was standing behind her.
"Sorry Masamune san, could you please get me a sofa pillow?."
"Good."
Mizutani walked towards the kitchen table pulling one of the chairs.
"Please put it on my feet." Pinta Mizutani to Masamune.
The woman placed a sofa cushion over Mizutani's thigh, and the man sat Yuki there.
"Thank you." Masamune gave a small nod and cleaned the bathroom, which still had blood stains on Yuki.
"Dai Chan, it's been a long time since you've seen you cook." Lirih Yuki's.
"Ojou chan, I know you miss this great chef's cooking." Reply Dazai turned his body glancing at Yuki.
"Hahaha, give me the best Dai chan."
"Ready! ojou the same." Yuki smilingly looked at Dazai's wide back. He used to stare at the man's skinny back in the kitchen of the main residence, and now it looks very different.
Yuki regains half of the memory she erased when she awoke from her subconscious dream, even so the pain he felt in the subconscious was still very clearly felt when he was awake.
"Do you want to see it more clearly?." Asked Mizutani, Yuki smiled in response.
Mizutani shifts the chair towards the kitchen, raises Yuki's body slightly to face Dazai and slowly rests on her chest. Yuki saw a long scar on Mizutani's arm as the man moved justifying his position.
"Is this better?."
"Hm."
"Sorry for the wound on your hand." Mizutani.
"You should have rejected grandfather when asking you to sparring (train match) with me." Mizutani smiled hearing Yuki already remembered her.
"Tsutsun."
"Hm?."
"I want to meet Grandma Yuri and Grandpa Go." Dazai stopped moving his hands in front of him.
"Please, later. Next year." Yuki smiled miris.
"For until next year I should be able to escape death again?." Dazai tightened his grip on the ear of the pan.
"Yes, Ojou chan. For next year we need to eat." He said as he lifted a pot containing various vegetables and chicken brought it to the table.
Yuki reflexively closed his eyes inhaling the aroma of the cuisine typical of their clan, a habit he had always done.
"Scented." Lirih Yuki's.
"Wait a minute, there's another one. Your favorite menu, ojou chan." Dazai went back to the kitchen to pick up two large plates full of pasta, didn't he! it looks similar to pasta but tastes very different.
Yuki smiled happily, he just realized he really missed the main residence cuisine. Dazai's parents, who are in fact the main residence cooks, pass down their skills to his son. Dazai also prepared Yuki's favorite warm honey lemon drink. Seeing the drink made Yuki remember Yuri's grandmother, from whom Yuki first tasted the drink and immediately fell in love with the lemon-smelling drink.
"Let me feed you." Said Dazai sliding the chair and sitting in front of Mizutani and Yuki.
"Masamune san, let's eat." Invite Mizutani who saw Masamune is done with his work.
Masamune sat down across the table looking at the interaction of the three people. Yuki looks like a princess from a big kingdom with her two servants.
"Why ojou chan, you can eat everything." Reply Dazai was about to take the noodles from the plate but stopped because of Yuki's next speech.
"I don't have the energy to chew his noodles." The look on Dazai's face turned soft. He knew best that his young lady loved both dishes.
"I can't eat your vegetables either, Dai chan." Yuki's voice sounded sad just like the sulking little Yuki couldn't eat her favorite food.
"There's still the sauce, isn't it a problem with that?." Mizutani looked down at Yuki's face.
"Hm, that sounds better."
"Well for now rice and gravy, next time I will cook it again for you ojou san." Dazai began to feed Yuki.
The girl could only open her mouth slightly, trying to swallow the food without chewing it first.
Highlight the eyes of Mizutani and Dazai looking very soft, happy, and sad. Uncompleted Yuki finished her meal the girl fell asleep on Mizutani's lap.
"Ojou chan was exhausted from expending too much energy to talk." Said Dazai cleaning Yuki's lips with a tissue.
"Hm." Mizutani agrees, her hand justifies Yuki's falling hair.
"Tsubaki, you haven't eaten yet, let me take Ojou chan to the room." Dazai.
"You haven't eaten Dazai either. Just get the blood bags and everything else ready." Mizutani's reply led Yuki to the second floor.
"Sorry Masamune san, we stayed a while." Dazai turned to the woman whom they had been ignoring since.
"Yes yes, emm ..." Masamune hesitated to speak his mind.
"What's up?."
"Are you also Yuki's family?, like Mizutani san?." Finally the question was also answered.
"Yes." Yeah."
"Then there won't be any problem if I leave tonight."
"Eh?!." Dazai.
"Tomorrow I'll go home, I mean." Masamune took a breath.
"Tonight I will stay at a friend's place, tomorrow morning I will go home. Knowing Dazai san was also Yuki's family made me calm to leave her." Masamune.
"Hahaha, so it is. Take it easy, Ojou chan is the most precious family to us." Masamune smiled at Dazai's reply.
"Then I'm leaving now." Pamit Masamune's.
Actually the woman just reasoned to stay at a friend's house, Masamune did not have friends in tokyo unless the mother of his neighbor's brothers, Masamune just did not want to disturb the warm atmosphere of the family, the family, he also knew they needed privacy to talk about something. This includes women who are sensitive to the surrounding environment.
Well .., tonight I'm going to stay at a motel near home so that tomorrow I can quickly go home, said Masamune.
***
Dirty dishes had Mizutani washed, he brought two coffees to the dining table thrusting one cup of coffee to the man who had dropped his head on the table since.
"So, Ojou chan can survive." Lirih Dazai's.
"No one has ever survived. That's a lot of people killing themselves or going crazy." Connect Mizutani.
"Ojou Chan is the only one who can survive, this time luck is on our side." Reply Dazai stared at the large calendar hanging on the wall.
"What about next?. It all depends on ojou san." Mizutani brought her glass to her lips.
"Next will be impossible." Dazai said, his hand moving around squeezing the back of his head.
"So I was so scared, more than anything. I'm so scared." Dazai continued, imagining the situation a few hours ago.
Tak.
Mizutani put her glass on the table.
"I am too."
"Even I thought about changing our plans." Mizutani imagines herself and the shadows moving for revenge.
"I don't think I'll be able to see anything more than this." Chirps Dazai.
"We have to." Answer Mizutani.
"Yes, you're right. But," Dazai looked up at Mizutan.
"What is possible, the one who gave the punishment .., aaarrgghh!. Shit!." Dazai ruffled his hair.
"Dazal."
"Huh?."
"How do we make ojou san tell us how much he remembers?." The question reminded Dazai of the real problem.
Dazai straightened his body sipping his coffee.
"It's harder. We're talking to another shadow."
"Bad idea."
"But maybe Ryuu's grandfather has a solution." Sergey Dazai.
"Have you thought about what would happen if they found out that ojou san got punished." Dazai again sipped his coffee in frustration.
"There will be a war, so you hide all this yourself. Be honest with me Tsubaki." Dazai stared intently at Mizutani who was sitting across the table.
"Where did you get all this information?." Mizutani took a deep breath.
"Chairman." Answer Mizutani.
"Now it is clearer. The big madam does not know the quiet punishment in ojou chan's body, Daren dono is the only one who knows our whereabouts, the shadows. Daren dono moved himself behind the big madam, so the other matter is now," Dazai hung up his sentence staring seriously at Mizutani.
"There's a chance the big lady is moving outside of Daren dono's knowledge. And where is Ayumi dono now?. Why is he hiding ..." Suddenly Dazai widened his eyes unmoved on the spot.
"You're right." Mizutani.
"No way!." Dazai clenched his hands.
"Then this is the case if ojou chan can't survive he's the only victim heh!." Dazai's getting frustrated.
"We can't do anything you know it's true. Our key is just ojou san. Without it we can't move, and it's Daren dono who orders not to act out of bounds to keep ojou san from,"
"The punishment." Srobot Dazai fast.
"You understand, no, our movement will have an effect on the punishment of ojou san. The protectors and distinguished families were also very influential with this. If ojou san is forced to remember everything you know what the consequences are, besides it's good ojou san can't remember." Mizutani. Dazai rubbed his face rough.
"Given that not remembering everything is the same, there is nothing better for ojou chan." Furious Dazai.
"really?." Lirih Yuki in her room. He was holding a watch connected to Je. The owl was quietly eavesdropping on the conversation of the two shadows.
Brak!.
"Tobo!." Mizutani breathed heavily.
"Don't yell, you can wake ojou san." Mizutani Protest.
"Akhs. Gomen (Sorry). But listen." Dazai confirmed his sitting position.
"If Daren dono already knew about the punishment in ojou chan's body why was ojou chan sent back here?. Hasn't ojou chan been kept away from everything related to Japan, so why?." Mizutani sipped her coffee before replying.
"The lady is big, there's only one reason Daren dono can't resist." Answer Mizutani.
"True, Daren dono could not resist the decision of the great mistress. Daren Dono can't tell the truth either. Otherwise, there might be a great split in the clan." Dazai.
Silent.
"Wait, looks like we missed something?. What about waka? (young master)?." Dazai scrunched his forehead.
"Daren dono looks after ojou chan. The news we heard last time, Ayumi dono went with the young master, disappeared into hiding?." Dazai muttered looking at his coffee cup.
"Do you also think the two of them are fighting and bringing one of their children." Chirps Dazai, his hand immediately slapped his forehead very hard.
Plaque!.
"Daren Dono is not that type of man even though he is a native American." Dazai.
Inside her room Yuki smiled bitterly. The effect of his liquid that was injected a few hours ago has started to work. Yuki can move on his own however, only a small move, he still needs two bottles of body recovery fluid in order to walk on his own.
