I am BOSS! ～fine～[Tutor KHR]

After having dinner with Yuri and Bailan, Suzuna carefully wiped the whip left by Elizabeth with a towel after clearing the tableware.

"..."

Looking at the long whip in her hand, Suzuna couldn't help but think of another person who used the whip to perfection.

(Mr. Dino...)

(Where are you...and what are you doing?)

As a result, after being confessed by Dino in the world six years ago, Suzuna never saw Dino again.She tried to contact Dino, and even begged Li Baoen for help, but Dino never showed up again, and was stingy even to say hello to Suzuna.

"I like you! ! 』

"I've always liked you! ! ! 』

Dino's voice seemed to still be echoing in Suzuna's ears, and the burning heart in that voice would still ignite Suzuna's body, making her blush and her heart beat faster.But it was the person who said such words to her, the person who made her touch such burning feelings for the first time in her life, and she still avoided seeing her now.

To be honest, Suzuna didn't know what she would say to Dino when she saw him, or what she should say to him.For this reason, Suzuna also specially consulted with Mayumi.Mayumi seemed very surprised that Suzuna would ask herself such a question, but he still told Suzuna very seriously: "The confession and the person being confessed are nothing more than two results. One or the person being confessed accepts the confession, and the next two Individuals stick together as lovers. The second is that the confessed person rejects the confessed person, and distances himself from the confessed person.” Suzuna thinks Mayumi’s words are not unreasonable, and indeed most of the boys and girls around her do this of.But if Suzuna really chooses to be "together" or "not to be together", Suzuna will hesitate again.

(What is "together"? What is "not together"?)

I am always with Dino.At first, I thought about "why", but later, I accepted the existence of Dino as naturally as breathing.

Suzuna didn't understand that they were all "together" and there was no difference between being a lover and not being a lover.If you are not a lover, if you have not become a lover, why can't you continue to be together, but keep a distance?

(too weird.)

If they are friends, companions, or brothers and sisters, can't they be together?So what were those times when Dino was with him before?What was the relationship between the two at that time?

Thinking too much always feels unknown.Suzuna shook her head self-consciously, and she packed the cleaned long whip in a recycle bag and walked towards the guest room.

dong dong——

"Please, please come in!"

Yuri, who was staying at Hojo's house, quickly answered the door.Seeing Ling Nai, who had changed into casual clothes, carrying a bag, as if she was about to go out, she asked, "Mother... Where are you going?"

"……Um."

Although Suzuna is not used to being called "mother", she still nodded to Yuri: "I'm going to return the whip to Elizabeth. Besides..."

In addition, Suzuna was also quite worried about Elizabeth, who was so disturbed that she didn't even notice that her long whip had fallen off. Yuri said that the children who belonged to Suzuna had already agreed before they came to see Suzuna: In order not to cause too much trouble and pressure for Suzuna at the same time, everyone must first go to their own father and father Or Suzuna's other half.

What Yuri didn't tell Suzuna was that the reason why she and Suzuna's other children made such an agreement was to restrain each other, in case someone would distort Suzuna's will in order to achieve their wishes, and also to remind herself Don't go astray, don't try to force Suzuna to accept any future.To put it bluntly, such an agreement is actually to ensure that everyone will not break up other people's parents, so that the future in which other people can be born will disappear.

However, this agreement is only temporary.When "the time comes", such an agreement will no longer have any meaning, because——

Suzuna didn't know the inside story, she just thought that she would probably not go to her father because Elizabeth always called her father "stallion".It's not like any girl who loves her father, or even just respects him, would call her father that.So Suzuna can only think that Elizabeth doesn't like her father at all.

As Suzuna thought, even if Elizabeth's father, Dino Gabrielone, were in Namori Town, Elizabeth would not rely on Dino.Of course, the reason is exactly what Suzuna thought: she very, no, a thousand, ten thousand hates her father who only does some shameful things to her mother.

It was completely dark now, and the whole Namori town was in a state of tranquility.However, at this time, Elizabeth and her brother still did not come to Suzuna.

The law and order in Ningmori town has been well maintained by Hibari, and Suzuna is not worried that Elizabeth and her brother will encounter danger in the town.What Suzuna was worried about was whether Elizabeth and her brother had a place to rest and whether they had a good dinner.

(Besides——)

Thinking of the previous situation, Suzuna reflected again: Elizabeth did harm Yamamoto... No, Yi-kun was injured and bled.But this was not her original intention, and Elizabeth was also furious for a while.Although Suzuna was a little troubled, she didn't understand why Elizabeth was so angry at that time.

Besides, the big reason why Yijun was injured was because he grabbed Elizabeth's whip with his bare hands.Elizabeth was also surprised to see him grabbing her whip with his bare hands.Presumably Elizabeth didn't mean to bruise Yijun...

Suzuna really felt guilty when she thought of how she treated Elizabeth with that cold and hard attitude without listening to Elizabeth's judgment...

Of course Suzuna didn't go out just for Elizabeth and her twin brother.

"Yuri can't dress like this all the time, can she?"

Suzuna said and looked at Yuri who was wearing a black|color|gothic dress.

Yuri's expression froze for a moment.She grew up in the testing ground, and she can touch the outside world through dreams, but there is a difference between absorbing knowledge and understanding culture and actually becoming a member of the crowd. It was only after Yuri came to Nishimori that she realized that her attire was very eye-catching, and she looked out of place in the crowd.

For Yuri, who has not had much contact with the same kind of group as "people", this feeling of being rejected by the crowd without knowing it is not a good feeling.But the strange eyes from others are still tolerable for Yuri.Because Yuri is not the kind of person who is so delicate and fragile that glass's heart will be broken by a stranger's words.But Suzuna is special to her.

Even Yuri herself didn't realize that she, like Suzuna's other children, desperately needed the maternal love from Suzuna.If she is hated by Suzuna, if for any reason Suzuna develops a feeling of dislike, Yuri will feel pain, fear, and hesitation just like other children...

(Mother--)

Thinking that her mother might hate herself because of her inappropriate attire, Yuri's whole heart tightened.She finally understood the word "fear".

"Yuri doesn't have a change of clothes, right? There should be no dress shops open at this time. So I think I'll buy you pajamas first..."

Suzuna didn't realize that Yuri was worrying about gains and losses at all, and seeing Yuri staring at her for a moment, Suzuna almost thought that there was something dirty on her face.

"I want to ask you if you want to go to the convenience store with me..."

"……very happy."

The voice came out from the mouth, so soft that Suzuna almost thought she had heard it wrong. Yuri pulled up her skirt in a ladylike salute, and then showed Suzuna a simple smile that fit her actual age.

"It's an honor to go out with you, Mother!"

Suzuna became embarrassed by Yuri's serious response: "...Well, if you can, please don't call me 'mother' outside..."

"Yes, mother! Ah—"

Realizing that he said the word "mother" as soon as he promised Suzuna, Yuri covered his mouth with a flushed face.And Suzuna laughed lightly.

Under the light of the moon, amidst the sound of the night wind blowing the trees, Elizabeth sat alone on a swing in the street park, looking at the moon in the sky.

"Mother mother..."

Thinking of Suzuna, who was holding Takeshi Yamamoto's hands, staring at her with piercingly cold eyes, Elizabeth could only feel the biting cold coming from every bone of her, from body to soul, she was about to be frostbitten .

"...Master Mother..."

Tears once again wet the eye sockets, wet the tourmaline-like pupils.Sobbing softly, Elizabeth put her arms around her body, but she still felt cold, cold.

"Isa—"

Alphado, who climbed out of the elephant slide next to him, swallowed the words "It's almost time to sleep?" in his throat.

Earlier, my sister said that she was going to find her mother, but he didn't object.Although they and others agreed three chapters in advance that everyone should go to their father first, but Elizabeth hated her biological father, Dino, to the point that she did not hesitate to travel across time and space to separate her parents.Fortunately, Dino is not in Namori Town, so there is no problem for Elizabeth to go to Suzuna.

But Alphado still believed that the minimum agreement should be followed, so he searched for a place where he could spend the night alone, and finally found this street park with a hollow elephant slide for his brother and sister to shelter from the wind and rain.
