Otonari no Tenshi-sama ni Itsu no Ma ni ka Dame Ningen ni Sareteita Ken (WN)

Last day of summer vacation.

Near the entrance to the cafe not so far from Zhou's home, Zhou stretched his spine by finding the intended person.

At the end of his gaze stands a gentle looking man in white, with normally familiar flax hair and caramel eyes.

A man who spoke lightly only once. There is no name, but Zhou knew his name from midday.

"Vertebral Morning Yang."

Speaking up, he - Vertebral Morning Yang - smiled a pale smile with his gaze toward Zhou.

"Nice to meet you... but this is the first time we've talked to each other in a way that we've recognized each other"

"... yeah, right. The story itself begins at midday."

I don't see any upset at what I called midday, so I'm probably looking into the area.

In Zhou's words, Asahyang smiles a pale smile similar to a bitter smile.

I had the impression that it seemed more calm than weak, and I didn't see it as painfully by outrageous people like I left midday.

"That's a quick story. I was wondering if you could give me a moment."

"That's what you called it, isn't it?

"Right. As much as I appreciate your sudden offer. I'm begging you, but I didn't think you'd accept it."

"Because I wondered what it was for that you bothered to summon me.... I don't think you should see me at midday."

"That's what they say... but she won't want to see me."

The bitter grin of the morning and yang seemed to seep through the regrets.

I felt angry at the midday situation and I don't think I can forgive it, but I don't think the man in front of me is the kind of person without blood or tears. Then I wouldn't bother trying to make quiet contact with my daughter.

That is why the question deepens more.

You noticed Zhou's exploring glance, and Morning Yang smiled as if he was in trouble with his cheek.

"You probably have a lot to ask me, too, don't you? Here's a long story. Why don't we go into the cafe?"

There's no reason to talk to the boulder near the entrance to the cafe, so I nodded at Asahi Yang's suggestion and went into the cafe with him.

"You can ask for whatever you want. I called it in on the last day of my precious summer vacation."

Zhou also occasionally enters this cafe by appointment, but there is a private room, which was passed to whether Asahi Yang had booked in advance or not.

I just sat across the street, and Morning Yang, with a grin on his soft face, recommends the menu.

Then I said sweet to your words, and then I told him the coffee and daily cake set that was on the menu, and he was asking the clerk for the same thing.

Then he never opened his mouth with a calm expression until what he had asked for had arrived.

I guess that's why you keep your mouth shut because it's something the clerks don't want to hear too much about, but you're sitting face to face with a man who's almost the same age as your own father. I feel very awkward.

In order to distract the awkwardness, I organized what I wanted to hear from you today in my brain, and after repeating it about three times, the items I gradually ordered were arranged in front of me.

So, what can I do for you?

Make sure the clerk leaves and open his mouth from the perimeter.

It was a little grumpy, but Morning Yang laughs small without looking disturbed.

"Right. Looks like she's dating her daughter, so I wanted to ask her how she's spending her time..."

"... nothing, it's normal"

"You're on guard."

"Do you think they won't?

"Well, it's weirder not to be."

Zhou puts his strength on his lips to the morning and yang nodding as he was convinced.

For example, if he was a ruthless person to a daughter like his midday mother, Zhou was also strongly outdone, and he was able to respond to a number of things.

However, I can feel the atmosphere from him worrying about my daughter in one way or another, and it doesn't seem like she was giving up parenting very much. Just having a conversation also makes me seem like a good father.

Therefore, I wonder why I actually abandoned the middle of the day.

"I would also like to know why you were so deliberately approaching midday now"

Now the disgust in the place is probably because I've seen the midday was deeply scratched.

After all these years, she couldn't get rid of the pricked lizard and was suffering.

Even though the lizards and loose wounds have been healing lately, the number of new wounds there has not increased.

"... you really care about her."

No hostility was returned to the hostility directed at him, he just turned a slightly happier glance, like he was impressed.

"I'm not thinking about bringing him back or anything like that. I'm not going to imitate what you're worried about, what threatens her life."

"... really?

"Of course.... at least I don't have the right to interrupt the life she's got right now, and I'm not trying to."

"So why are you really making contact at midday?"

"... that's hard to explain when asked. I'm just here to see your face."

"You said I dumped midday from you?

I was aware that it was not a dialogue to be said by others and outsiders.

Still - I can't forgive the way her parents did at midday.

With a clear hostility unusual around him, Asahi Yang is not angry, but just taking that gaze with a quiet look.

"Let me get this straight.... Well, now I don't think I have the right to be the parent of that child. It would even be dangerous if she recognized me as her father. I guess I'm thinking about someone else with blood connections."

"... you know what you've done as much as you're aware of it."

"You can't turn away from what you've done forever.... Me and Little Night haven't been able to name her parents. You've done what the world calls neglect. You deserve to be blamed."

Zhou bit his lips into the appearance of Morning Sun, who gently but calmly objectively viewed their work.

(Why, sooner)

Couldn't you have saved us sooner?

If I could, I wouldn't have wounded so much at midday, and even if I didn't get love from my mother, I might have had a future where I got love from my father. Maybe she had a future to laugh at happily.

Why do you repent now? I didn't know where to turn my anger.

Maybe Zhou doesn't deserve to be angry. Maybe it's irrational anger.

Still, I have to think about it.

I was wondering why you didn't reach out to her sooner.

"If you're in trouble, I wish I hadn't given birth.... Who do you think said this? Midday said so himself. I've been hunting down the middle of the day enough to make you say that."

"... right"

If your voice tells you in a flat voice while you manage to suppress trembling, you will have an enlightened and embracing look. That makes me feel unnecessarily angry.

"If it's enough to leave me at midday and regret it now, I wish I hadn't taken that attitude from the beginning. Then I didn't have to be so scratched at midday."

"I don't have a word to give it back.... Of course, I feel like I've done the worst as a parent."

"... really, why are you trying to see me now at midday? I don't want you to see me if it hurts to see you at midday. I don't want you to see me if midday hurts, even if I know it's too much of an outsider's statement."

I can't stand in the way of parents and daughters meeting, but I still don't want to see them at midday just this time, so these are the strong stories that got me.

Asahi Yang takes Zhou's sharp gaze with regret and smiles bitterly.

"Why would I want to see that girl?... I wonder why."

"Are you kidding me?"

"I'm not going to tease you. It's just hard to linguize inside.... Right, I'm going to see you now."

"So you're not going to see me or see me in the future?

"Right."

In the affirmed morning and yang, something bitter seeps into your mouth.

"... you're selfish"

"Yes, I'm selfish. I'm not going to change that, and it's not something I can change anymore. I'm just not gonna make that kid any more unhappy. So maybe I'd rather be hated."

"I don't know what that means."

You'll see.

Zhou stopped pursuing his objectively glanced eyes, knowing that he was not going to speak any more.

"Is there anything else I'd like to ask you?

"... no, I'm done"

"Right.... Then let me hear just one thing from you."

"Go ahead."

"... is she happy now?"

I got up a little bit wondering what I was going to ask, but Asahi and Yang inquired with a serene look that remained the same.

Zhou exhales slowly once in his voice and eyes as if he wished his daughter happiness.

"... I don't know that unless I ask him personally, but he wants me to be happy. I'm confident I'll make you happy, and I'll make you happy."

It was a word of desire, complacency, and determination.

Um, I'm not going to let go of that girl who's kind and delicate in heart and hungry for love more than anyone else.

I want her to smile all the time, and I want to be happy with this hand. I have decided to be happy. Whoever said what, the will was not going to bend.

When I said it clearly with a voice that was never loud but unwavering, the caramel colored eyes across the street opened wide and loosened with undisputed relief at the next moment.

"Right. Good to hear that."

The soft smile made me imagine midday somewhere.

"... I'm not in charge, but I need you to do something about her."

"I'll be happy even if you don't ask me to."

"Right...... thanks"

Even though it was a voice and attitude that wasn't strange to be blamed for being rude, Asahi and Yang laughed happily, so Zhou returned it with a slightly more tongue-induced voice than earlier, "because I don't have the muscle to be thanked" while feeling indescribable anymore.
