Ee, Teni Shippai? Seikou?

"Are you leaving already?

I waited outside the hotel to drop him off.

"Yeah, it's time to go home."

"Um, have breakfast... with me, would you like?

When I left, I stopped him for some reason.

"Uh, after...?

"No!!

I shouted amazingly loud myself.

I don't know why, but I couldn't stand the thought that inviting him to breakfast was part of my job.

"Um... sorry. It's private."

"Oh no, I'm sorry to say this one is insensitive...... Well, as far as I'm concerned, it's perfectly fine."

I got worried he wouldn't ride me on an invitation from a helpless woman like myself, but he responded.

I took a meal at a coffee shop nearby, but he looked like a big eater, not according to his looks.

It was a bit of fun to watch the dishes that were lining up in front of him go away.

On the way, I could see myself eating a little.

"You eat a lot"

"Oh, yeah. I've had a lot of appetite lately."

"That's lovely"

"Yes?"

"Oh, no, it's nothing"

Words have leaked and it seems to have surprised him.

(I don't know what you're talking about...)

Minori felt her face get hot.

"I'll be back. Nice to meet you then."

After breakfast, Minori was unconsciously grabbing the sleeve of a man trying to return

"Can I go?

The words came out with a mouthful.

"Yes?"

"Can't you?

"No, you know, go...?

"Home."

"Home?... Me!?

Minori nodded silently.

"No, no, no, it's far away, isn't it?

"Fine."

"I don't mind... it's gonna take half a day on the Shinkansen, right?

"Fine. I'll be there."

Minori really didn't like breaking up with him like this.

"Uh, uh, what's your job...?

"Ah..."

But the words remind me of who I am.

He has been offended by his brother-in-law since he was a teenager, a dirty being who fishes men for money only to satisfy his comatose desires.

Who the hell would like to be with a woman like that?

"... I'm off... But if you don't like it, fine. I'm sorry I couldn't."

Minori gave up and let go of his sleeve he was grabbing.

"Huh...?

For some reason, he was taking his own hand.

And he held me.

"Come on, me."

"... Yes"

I want to know his name.

It's Minori Hoshikawa.

"Hmm?"

"It's my name. So..."

So I named myself first.

"Oh, well."

I felt more powerful in his arms holding Minori.

"It's Yaichi Fujido. Greetings."

○ ● ○ ●

It was a dream time.

He visited Yangichi's house, searched for his new home, and chose furniture and appliances.

It was like a lover or a couple, and I wished this time would last forever.

But the happier he felt, the darker and darker the shadow in the depths of his heart was feeling.

Who I am.

No matter how much fun I had, that didn't get me out of my mind.

The more fun you have, the happier you are, the more painful the back of your chest gets.

What would Yaichi think when he found out who he was?

(Shall I tell you everything?)

I think Yangichi would take it.

It's unfounded, but somehow it seemed that way.

Of course it could be a convenient mistake.

(But then what happens...?

My brother-in-law's face comes to my attention.

To the nation, no, the next president of the Starling River Group, who will now make a name for the world.

If I found out I was bedridden by another man, that man would be mad.

If that spearhead is directed at Yangichi...?

Minori forgot everything once and just gave herself up to the pleasure Yaichi would bring.

Feeling the pulsating thing in me, I thought I didn't want to leave for a moment.

"... love it"

I don't know, but maybe this is love.

Even if this ancestor-shaped life goes on, you'll be able to live beyond just knowing what it's like to scorch this self.

That's what Minori thought at this time.

○ ● ○ ●

Minori, back in the room prepared by his brother-in-law, then spent some time like a dumb shell.

One day, the phone rang.

"Hello? Acari? How are you feeling?"

At first, I didn't know what the phone meant, but I remembered that Akali was my source name as a prostitute.

"I'm accumulating nominations, is it time to get out?

"... Yes. It's okay."

"Sorry about the early hours."

Minori took the transfer car as usual and headed to the hotel.

That was the first hotel I had ever met with Yangichi.

"Ahhhh..."

When I stood in front of the door and tried to reach for the door knob, I suddenly felt my vision narrow.

"Ha... ha..."

Suddenly his breath was painful, his chest was contained and he got to his knees.

"Ah... guh..."

My vision gets darker and darker and my consciousness gets farther and farther away.

However, my consciousness is on the verge of interrupting and my breathing is getting a little easier.

"Ha... ha..."

I managed to breathe and felt it get easier every breath I took.

"Phew..."

It brought me easier to breathe and my consciousness became clear.

"Oh no..."

When Minori snapped like that, she went outside the hotel.

Knock on the transfer window waiting in the parking lot.

"... what's up? No way. Change."

"I'm sorry."

Blocking the soft middle-aged man's words on his waist, Minori said only one word, slamming the smartphone he had onto the spot and stepping through it thoughtfully before running off the spot.

"No... no..."

Whimpering, Minori was running.

"No, no, no, no..."

In front of the hotel, I remembered Yangichi.

"No, no, no, no..."

When I thought I was going to be held by a man other than Yangichi, I suddenly couldn't breathe.

"No, no, no, no..."

I don't want anyone touching me except Yangichi, whether I'm a guest or a brother-in-law.

"No, no, no, no..."

I have no recollection of where I walked and how I came on what.

However, if I noticed, I was standing in front of the apartment I had searched for along with Yaichi.

When I entered the apartment, the apartment concierge greeted me.

Minori lowered her head lightly because she looked familiar.

I know the number of the auto lock.

I quickly opened the entrance door and rode the elevator.

"No, no, no, no, no..."

I don't even want to see my brother-in-law's face anymore.

I'm sorry I could touch a man I don't know.

Minori stood in front of Yangichi's room and pressed the intercom.

"Yes."

Dokun and his chest rattle loudly as he emerged from across the door.

I can't think of anything but him.

It's bad that this man taught himself to fall in love or something.

So...

"- Take responsibility"
