Teruaki and Shu went back to the Hoshi-Tan main family mansion, and they were both being treated by Kiraara.

''If Shu hadn't easily fallen victim to the enemy's jutsu, I think we would have had a chance to win. I've devoted all my strength to disarming him.

I wasn't paying attention. Sorry.

As Teruaki says with a laugh, Osamu, who has stripped down to his upper body, apologizes with a sincere look on his face.

''Oh come on, I was just kidding. It was two against three, and the enemy was moderately strong.''

The most shocking thing to Teruaki was that that Hakkin Taro was stronger than he had imagined, but he wouldn't talk about it. He had to admit it, but he didn't want to admit it.

'But it's hard to do. Rikkaigetsu-san himself doesn't seem to be a bad guy, and he doesn't even seem to be the culprit. But it's clear that he knows who the culprit is and is defending himself.

Sometimes it's nice to show mercy to your enemy, but I think you should wait until you know what kind of a man the real killer is before you start showing him mercy.

Hearing Terumei's words, Kirara nailed the wounds on Shu's body while applying medicine to them. Although Shu was injured here and there, he did not have any serious wounds.

''I don't need the old lady to tell me that, I understand.

The tone of Teruaki's voice drops bluntly.

'Rikkaizuki-san is definitely a clue, but it's tricky when you're being protected by that yuri. This time it was Shirogane Taro and one person I didn't know, but there's still Mutsuki, too.

And Osamu.

'Or a gothic loli called Akiko. Your guard is very tight, so let's change the way we do things.

As he said this, Terumei glanced at Kira Luo. At this time, Terumei had already come up with his next policy, but he had made up his mind to carry it out just before.

''Shu, take off your bottom too.''

"Is ...... yes ......

Kirara urged him to take off his trousers hesitantly with a tone of voice that doesn't say anything. The top is still off as well, so you'll be dressed in just your pants.

'Hey Osamu, the old lady says you need to go full chin,'

She didn't say.

Teruaki says with a smirk, and Osamu says back with an uncomfortable look on his face.

''I didn't say it, but if it's in a place where you're injured and you can't see it or something, I'll make you take it off.

Kirara tells him with a straight face.

''So the old lady would properly apply the medicine if Shu was hurt on his dick?

I can see it and I can apply my own medicine.

Kirara laughs dumbly at Teruaki's question.

(I mean, when Terumei had to take him to the hospital for a fungus in his genitals when he was little, I would have put medicine on him many times. ......)

Kirara suddenly remembered the old days and reminisced about it.

''Then what if it was the asshole that was injured?''

I'll see to it that you do. Terumbo, even if it was you who got hurt. Or do you want to fix your asshole?

'I'm not kidding. You can't treat a man's asshole, old lady.

You know what? ......

Teruaki and Kirara, who were using him as a dupe and talking vulgarity, made Osamu feel even more uncomfortable.

******

The day after Rikkaigetsu was attacked by Teruaki and Osamu.

''Next time we move to this town, let's move to this town.

Do you like it here, Mom?

I was born in the Showa era, after all. This scenery is very nostalgic.

Oh, I didn't know. I didn't know my mother had a childhood.

Is there anyone in this world who hasn't had a birthdate?

Yuri and Akiko visit Rikkaigetsu-san's house as they dodge the conversation. I've already heard about yesterday's engagement.

Entering Rikkaizuki-san's house, Yuri and Akiko are shown into the living room, both frowning at the same time. In the center of the room, Rikkaizuki-san, dressed only in a shirt and underwear, was sprawled out in a disheveled heap, and the room was filled with the smell of alcohol.

''I deal with corpses on a regular basis, so I'm used to the stench, but even so, I can't take the smell of alcohol.

"Ah ...... I had a hangover, so come on ....... I did a pick-me-up drink after I woke up unexpectedly! Hick ....... Eureen, a mouthful of water for you to drink .......

A red-faced Rikkaigetsu-san, drunk with a gudgeonly face since early morning, looked up at Yuri and demanded with a snorting smile.

'Mum, what's a welcome drink?'

Akiko asks.

'It's a tremendously stupid thing to do, to drink again in the morning to cure yourself of a hangover that made you feel sick. I don't need to explain to you how that's stupid, do I?

Yes ...... I've never had a hangover, but I get it.

After hearing Yuri's story, Akiko looked down at Rikkaigetsu with half-lidded eyes.

''It's the height of rudeness to be drunk when people have stepped in to escort you. Etsu, bring a bucket of water with you.

'No, ...... it's not that: ......

It's a bucketful of Urichie's mouthwash.

At Yuri's insistence, Etsu hesitated, and Rikkaigetsu spoke a playful line.

'Hey mom, isn't it a bad idea to flood someone's house? And it's tatami mats, so it's going to be hard to dry.

And Akiko.

'Don't worry. ─ Don't worry, I won't spray water all over the room. I'll drag you out of the room and do it properly.

I understand.

Hearing Yuri's words, Etsu goes to fill the bucket with water.

'Yeah ...... Etsu, you shouldn't know that right there. I'm sure you were more worried about getting your room wet than I was. Oh, hey ...... Yuritan, don't be rough with me.

Grabbing the collar of Rikkaigetsu's shirt as she speaks with a wry smile, Yuri drags him out of the porch and into the garden.

'I brought it.'

Thank you for your help.

Etsu holds out a bucket of water to Yuri. Yuri receives it with a smirk on her face.

'Bwah!'

Riku Kai Moon, who was soaked with water, jumped up.

''Really pouring it on or ...... ugh ...... terrible ......

Rikkaigetsu looks sad.

'Mom, you looked so happy to see me splashing water on you.

Akiko says with a laugh.

You're 95% jellyfish, so it wouldn't be a big deal for you to have water poured on you one by one.

I'm not a complete jellyfish, you know. There's a part of me that's a jellyfish and a part that's not. And it has nothing to do with a jellyfish's body to cause clothes to get wet.

In response to Yuri's words, Rikkaigetsu rebutted them.

Then Rikkaigetsu-san takes a shower in the bathroom and changes her clothes before returning to Yuri and Akiko.

''I asked Shirogane Taro what happened last night. It was interesting to hear that Terumei attacked you.

Do you know that girl, Yuri?

I only did it once. He's the head of the Star Coal family.

...... I didn't know we were being targeted by such a big name. What a surprise!

Rikkaigetsu listens to Yuri's story and is frightened.

I easily figured out that I wasn't the culprit. And that I'm defending someone else.

It's your two sons, right? Why are you starting to do that now?

Akiko asked Rikkaigetsu, who smiled bitterly and hugged her head.

'It's not necessarily the work of the two of us. It could be one or the other. I heard that you are trying to gain power, but do you have any idea what you are doing?

Before Rikkaigetsu could answer Akiko's question, Yuri put more questions over it.

''It's probably Spine Dao. The second son, Spine-Dao, has always been obsessed with power. It's also the reason why he ate people out. When my family eats a woman ...... especially a woman with strong psychic powers or a woman with supernatural powers, her power increases.

Rikkaigetsu-san became depressed and sighed loudly. The expression on his face was full of sorrow and bitterness, which Akiko could see in his eyes.

''My eldest son, the great man, was sort of going along with the thorny dao. He didn't attack people when the thorny path went on a rampage before. He just covered up for them. I was just helping to cover it up. But if the thorny path started to go on a rampage again, there's a good chance the great man will go along with it. That boy is even more complicated than the Spine-Dao. He'll do anything for his brother's thorny dao.

Rikkaigetsu glances at Etsu as he speaks. Etsu holds his shoulder and looks melancholy. The couple's behavior bothered Yuri and Akiko, but they didn't even ask out loud.

''Is the cause of the spine path? It's ...... ironic that that girl would be that way.''

Yuri, who knows the person in question directly, says with a mysterious look on her face.

Have you thought about it? It's possible that the charcoal can be traced back to your son.

No. I can't even get in touch with the spine path in the first place. The great man can't answer ...... even if you call from us. Tahaha .......

Yuri let out a small breath as Rikkaigetsu scratched her head and laughed powerlessly.
