"... Mother"

"What? Oh, don't move."

When Aoi says so, a warm feeling spreads through Sei's hair.

Sei sleeps on a bath towel laid on the floor and has a sink on his head machined to put his head down like a pillow.

It's like a hairdresser.

Water and hot water come out of the sink, and they drain properly where it leads.

Aoi who took them out of his bag says potpourri.

"It would be easier if magic could actually be used."

"... your mother, you know, maybe..."

"Hmm? What?"

Aoi washes Zabazaba and Sei's hair with hot water.

I don't see how you're feeling about anything.

Sei felt hesitant to say or not to say how Aoi looked.

I remember... but I end up asking what I want to hear.

"Did you kill him? Dead ghosts..."

"I killed him. Yikes. A lot."

Aoi replied softly to Sei's question.

"... well"

"Well, a lot is a lie. But I've got ten levels, and I've got a profession."

Hehe, and Aoi laughs.

"Your mother... what profession did you make it? Lawyers?"

"Sai. That kind of information isn't much of a leak, is it?

Aoi puts his index finger on his lips.

Sei, who confirmed it with a sneer of one eye, laughed.

"... well. I'm sorry."

"Fine. Sai needs to learn a lot more..."

Aoi takes the shampoo, foams it once and then slowly puts it on Sei's hair.

"... learning?

"Right...... what does Sei want to hear? What do you want me to tell you?

To Aoi's enquiry, Sai got words all the time.

"Now, how to get out of here"

"Is that... to bring the murdered boy back to life?

"Yeah."

Not between, Sei nodded.

"... instant answer with no questions or anything,? You really like that girl."

Ha, and Aoi exhales.

"... that kid? Hey, how far does your mother know?

"Um, do you know more or less? Sai is being murdered by a boy she loved at school, helped by a boy who is being called a murderer, liked, murdered by a boy who loved her, caught and stolen on surveillance cameras while being kissed every day for over a week"

Kusuri and Aoi said with a smile.

That smile is really beautiful and no one would think of it, such as that emotion being actually full of anger.

Even Sai might not have figured it out if Aoi's hand, washing his hair, hadn't stopped and shivered.

"I'm sorry. I can't help you."

Keep smiling, but weak, Aoi said.

Aoi today shows how Sei has never seen it before.

Sei has never seen how the first tension is high, or how weak it is now.

Usual Aoi was... a mother who was too busy to see or see her once a week, but to the best of Sei's knowledge she was a quiet and gentle person.

As correct, Aoi, who was growing a sai as clean, never made jokes or made weak noises.

"I've had a lot of things too... but I couldn't. Sai is doing that...... I just came here to make the best of it"

That's why...... Sei didn't have to be told to guess that Aoi was actually moving a lot in the shadows until now.

"Is there any way I can get out of here?

Aoi shook his head slowly to Sei's renewed inquiry.

"There's nothing I don't... but I probably can't do Sei"

"... what way?

"The easiest and fastest way for Sai to get out of here... is to like you, Lion Doo."

That's certainly not the way to go.

Aoi just told me that Sei is holding his fist so hard that blood is dripping out of his palm.

"... Sei know why your mother married your father?

"... Huh? Is there a reason, besides what I liked?

for a sudden change of topic. Besides, Sei opened her eyes unexpectedly to the content.

There's no reason to get married but to like it.

"... I knew it. I've been thinking since you started a commotion about marriage forgiveness..."

Oh, boy. Aoi shakes his head.

"What's going on?

"Hmm? No, I just raised you too beautifully,"

Aoi narrowed his eyes so that he could put in his self-restraint thoughts.

"Because she was cute... I raised her beautifully, not to go wrong. If the water is clean, it won't live in fish. I should have shown you a lot more different aspects. That would have never happened."

"... what are you talking about?

Not answering Sai's question, Aoi says softly.

"Your mother married your father, didn't she? Because your father was strong and he had power and money."

To Aoi's confession, Sai becomes unable to say anything.

Seeing such a say, Aoi shrugged his face nii.

"Mother, you were originally going to be a lawyer. The main guest class of the state...... that's why it was so fascinating to be able to relate to the Evergreen family, which sometimes works guards even to the Prime Minister and the President. Because working guard means being able to know the power table and the back."

Aoi continues the conversation with his face distorted.

"Sai, you know what your mother is called. Best lawyer. Lawyers with the best results for both sides of the trial...... but you think you can do that?

The eyes behind the glasses are just a little cloudy.

"Networking with the powerful. power that the Evergreen family itself has. financial power. With all my strength, I have achieved optimal results. Of course. For me. Give me money in the back, threaten me, use all my powers. You can't get the best results in a clean way."

Aoi gently stroked Sei's hair.

"So, Sai. Can't I pretend that I like Do-kun the Lion? Lie to me, use all the abilities Sei can to get the best results..."

"I can't."

Sai responds promptly to Aoi's request.

"... well"

When I heard the answer, Aoi gave me a relieved, then slightly given up look.

"It's not natural. I'm not clever enough to lie to you about that... and your mother didn't like your father, did she?

In Sai's last question, Aoi watered Sai's hair without answering.

"Wop!?

"... right? Can't help it, can you?"

Aoi drops the shampoo bubbles on Sei's hair.

"... Liar to me, Kashi. If you can't pretend to like you, bear with me. Whatever you do or say around her, bear with her and be great."

Aoi approaches Sai's ear as she tries to lift Sai's hair.

"... Okay?

"Your mother couldn't do anything, could she? Are they that powerful?

Asking Sai, Aoi nods small

"Because those kids have the most powerful daughter in this town. It's not the kind of opponent you can fathom with both power and power. It's not an environment where your mother's ability as a lawyer can be demonstrated because the world has changed in the first place... and your fathers are not in this town right now"

"He said he's not here..."

"Because those people are also the guardians of this world. We can't just stay in this town. He must be south by now."

Aoi, who washed off the foam about Sai's hair, told Sai in an even smaller voice.

"... ten more days. Just be patient for ten more days, and your fathers will be here. That will set Sei free. Because I'll be free."

Aoi took the conditioner in his hand the next time he left Sai's ear.
