Chapter 3: Betrayal of Stepmother

Translator: Soafp

---

My father, who didn’t get home very often, wanted to be able to see me whenever he could.

I held the executive card of the company.

I was distraught over Rena and wanted to calm down by seeing Yukina-san’s face.

I wanted the kind Yukina-san to listen to me.

Where could she be? I was looking for her in various ways.

I suddenly noticed that the president’s office was lit.

I heard voices of a man and a woman inside.

I quietly opened the door and found an unbelievable scene.

One of the men was holding Yukina’s buttocks…

“D-don’t…Toyohashi-kun…”

“President…no… Yukina-san…I…want to be your support in many ways…”

“Toyohashi-kun… you have my gratitude… but… this is…”

“Yukina-san…you know…?”

“W….What?….”

“You were talking to Goto-san, the board member, the other day…

　I can support you in every way, much more than that old man!

Just for a little bit…please accept me.

　If you do that…I will support you forever.”

“…………………”

“Yukina-san…would you please open your legs a little?”

Yukina-san silently obeyed and an obscene sound echoed through the president’s office…

I quietly closed the door of the president’s office.

Then, without saying a word, I left the company and ran, screaming and crying loudly.

After running and running… exhausted, I lay down again on a park bench.

I couldn’t think about anything…

Yukina… she should have loved my father… but in one month…

That period of time seems short in my opinion… but is it not?

Was she that lonely?

I wonder if the human instinct, no matter how much you love someone, is unable to resist the sexual desire when you are lonely.

Did Rena have a situation where she couldn’t resist her sexual desire?

I don’t know…

I don’t know anything…

I don’t want to know!

The rain continues to pour down in torrents…

But the sound hides my pathetic voice…

Cold…It’s cold… mother… father…

And then… my consciousness gradually became distant.

When I woke up I was on a hospital bed.

I was still lying on the bench, soaking wet from the rain.

The next morning, I had almost caught pneumonia.

A neighbor noticed something wrong during his walk and called an ambulance, which brought me here.

An intravenous drip is giving me nourishment.

It was just right.

Even if they offered me food, I wouldn’t be able to accept anything now…

Bam, bam bam.

The door opened violently. It was Yukina.

“Kyosuke-kun! You’ve regained consciousness! Are you alright? Kyosuke-kun…gusuun…”

“Yeah. I’m sorry I made you worry…”

“I was really… worried about you!

　That man suddenly died…

　If Kyosuke-kun died too…I wouldn’t be able to live anymore!”

“I’m sorry Yukina-san…”

“But I am also to blame…

I was so occupied with the company that I didn’t take care of the family…

　I know it was hard for you too, Kyosuke…I’m sorry…” (Yukina)

“If you are fine with it, you can come to my company, okay?” (Yukina)

I heard those words and I couldn’t hold back anymore.

“….Come to….your company…?”

“Eh?”

“But… in the president’s office…”

“………………”

“……… Did you… see anything?”

I nodded silently.

“………I see…”

“….That’s it? Nothing… no excuse? …”

“…… Anything I say… will be an excuse…

　But…one thing…I…if it’s to protect Kyosuke-kun and the company he cherished…　

　I’ll do anything…”

“I don’t understand! I dont understand anything!!”

“………………”

“Enough……I….. don’t want to go back to that house anymore….

I don’t want to see Yukina-san’s face again for a while….

　I don’t want to see Rena either…”

“Rena-chan too…”

“I don’t want to hear single word about Rena!”

Yukina-san looked sad and handed me some keys.

“It’s a key to a villa in Kanagawa…

　You can live there for a while…

　I’ll make arrangements for you to transfer to another school before you get out of the hospital.”
