2-13: It is a Simple Thing to Destroy One’s Everyday Life (1/6)
Words surprisingly have a lot of power.
Sotis it can move the cogs of history. Other tis it can change fate.
But that doesnt an it will always give good results.
In fact, the opposite is often true.
Using words correctly is difficult.
Receiving words correctly is difficult.
What makes this power inconvenient are the people speaking it and hearing it.
Because this power can bring the worst end to either one.
Save !
Even such simple words that ask for help can bring about a tragedy.
Soone later said that he shouldnt have cried for help.
Even though it was the result of his own actions. Even though he was the one in the wrong.
But because he made them carry that burden, their path to life ca to be obstructed.
They who could not abandon soone who fell along the way.
They who were not disgusted when soone couldnt understand their words.
They who laughed with soone who was powerless and could not give them anything.
They who were strong and protected soone who was so weak he could not even defend himself.
Save !
Because it was these very people, when he realized the aning behind their pleas, he froze up in shock and could not move.
The boy, who should have fought, stopped moving and was torn by soones claws.
The girl, whose face brimd with strength, felt despair as she was crushed by soones arm.
The boy, who held a weapon but could not use it, was burned down by soones flas (breath).
The girl who could not run perhaps out of fear or responsibility was swallowed by soones fangs.
The last of them used what breath remained to utter those words fearfully.
Sa ve !
They begged soone for the first ti, but it could not be granted.
To this day, that soone could still vividly rember how their lives felt.
I see. So you t Daigo, Nobuhiko said.
Sorry, I lost track of ti talking about the past, Shinichi said.
Should he really be saying that?
But Shinichi spoke vaguely to pull the wool over his parents eyes.
It was easy for him to convince them since he never ntioned previously reuniting with his childhood friend.
Should we say hi too? Nobuhiko asked.
Hes in the middle of work right now. Well just cause him trouble.
But once were done shopping, then we could take a rest there, Rinko said.
True, Nobuhiko said.
S-Sounds good Ahaha, Shinichi said.
As things turned toward a bad direction, Shinichi found himself laughing with a parched voice.
But he did not have the authority to overturn his parents decision when theyd already made their minds.
All Shinichi could do now was to pray that that girl wouldnt say anything unnecessary, and that what he told his dad wouldnt be ntioned to Daigo.
Now, where should we start?
Is there anything you want, Shinichi-kun?
After deciding to go shopping, for so reason, Rinko only asked Shinichi what he wanted.
He thought there was sothing really familiar in the way she eyed him, but he shook his head nonetheless.
T-Theres nothing particular I want. I have everything I need already, and
In other words, I can do as I please, right? Alright! Lets go!
Huh? Huh!?
After Rinko seemingly ca to understand sothing, Shinichi was forcefully dragged around. It was a repeat of last week.
It was only when he realized that that he understood that his arm was being pulled.
He could not reject her since she reminded him of a sister he could not forgot.
Perhaps that was the reason behind that familiar feeling, he thought, but by then theyve already started going around the stores.
On the first floor underground, Rinko happily took so food samples and bought so sweets. At the counter of the ladies wear and nswear, they bought clothes for married couples as was recomnded by Shinichi.
On the second floor, where the goods for everyday life could be purchased, they added several convenient kitchenwares to their shopping basket.
On the third floor, they bought a monster doll for Shinji when he wouldnt let go of it.
CD stores were already starting to beco a rarity, but there was one here, and they listened to the recently popular tracks.
On the books and stationary floor, they bought several volus of manga that the amaryllis seed to like. They also purchased so popular shows that Shinichi recomnded, but for so reason, they were all ani DVDs aid toward toddlers.
They went through the room interior supplies section, but Shinichi shook his head at everything.
After that they went through several more stores.
Before they knew it, it was already past 2:00.
They ate before leaving, but as expected, it was almost ti for them to take a break.
Rinko and Nobuhiko went back to the parking lot to load the things they bought, and Shinichi waited inside the store with his stepbrother and her, but when Rinko ca back, she was really unhappy.
Nobuhiko struggled not to laugh as he followed from behind.
When they got to where Shinichi was, Rinko asked Shinichi.
Hey, Shinichi-kun. Was that on purpose?
Huh?
You definitely did it on purpose! I know it!
If thats how youre going to play, then Im definitely going to buy you sothing today!
Before Shinichi could say anything, his arm was pulled and he was taken to the youth clothes section of the first floor.
As Rinko made an amused smile, she proudly declared.
Leave it to !
Yes.
Shinichi didnt have the slightest intention of going against her.
