Chapter 13 The Beginning of a New Life
#Giri no ImoutoThe Beginning of a New Life
“Ahhhhhhhh …!!!”
I was jumping up, screaming and shouting.
My whole body was sweating.
I slowly looked around and saw that I was in the living room of my house. Obviously, I was having a nightmare.
I felt sick just remembering Senjo.
The separation from Senjo was real. But after that, it was my dream. I had a strange dream.
I left the hospital and went straight home, then I felt sleepy and fell asleep on the sofa. That’s how I had the nightmare. … So Senjo is not a bad guy. He shouldn’t be. I wanted to believe it.
I was thirsty, so I went to the kitchen to get some water.
Then the doorbell rang.
I opened the door and there was Rumi … wearing a beautiful costume. A costume like a black dress… is it called Gothic Lolita?
“Hello, Hayato-kun.”
“What a cute outfit.”
“Heh. I actually like Gothic Lolita.”
It suits Rumi, who is short and feminine. The makeup is my taste too.
“I’m not Gyaru, I’m Gothic Lolita.”
“Oh, I see. You’re so cute.”
“Thank you, Hayato.”
“I don’t want to stand around talking, so please come in.”
I welcomed Rumi into the house.
Rumi was as cute as a newborn chick as she followed me around.
I took her into the living room and asked her to sit on the couch.
I served her some tea and immediately struck up a conversation.
“Heh, you met Senjo.”
“I left the hospital and talked for a while. Then …uuuh!”
“Hmm? You look pale, what’s wrong?”
I can’t say that I remember the nightmare!
“Ah, it’s nothing!”
“Yeah, is that so?”
Rumi looked at me worriedly. Well, I can’t say that I dreamed of being attacked by Senjo. … I’m afraid she might misunderstand.
“Speaking of which, we need to find a new house, right? We should also prepare some money.”
“Ah! I’ve been entrusted with cash by Kuwano-san. Here you go, Hayato-kun.”
I was given an envelope.
When I looked inside, I found that it contained 300,000 yen.
“This, no way …!”
“Yes, the money Kuwano-kun got from Akane-chan. It was Hayato’s hard-earned money. The amount was 300,000 yen.”
A week has passed since the incident with Akane and Kuwano-senpai, and the full amount has finally been paid. This is definitely my money. It’s money that would have been spent on living expenses if Akane hadn’t done that terrible thing.
I didn’t expect my money to come back.
“Good. Let’s use it for our new life.”
“Are you sure?”
“It’s okay. I want to live with Rumi as soon as possible.”
“I’m happy. Thank you.”
Rumi boldly hugged me. I was nervous at her sudden reaction.
At first, I thought of her as my mother, but now she’s my step-sister. So I felt like I was being hugged by my sister.
Besides, she was very different from Akane.
Her smell, her touch, her taste, her soft words, and the size of … her br🬀🬀sts.
“No, no. By the way, what about the house where Rumi lives?”
“The house is rented, so it’s fine. I plan to leave as soon as Senjo graduates.”
“I see. Anyway, we need to find a place to live.”
“I’ve already taken care of that.”
Rumi took out her cell phone and showed me the screen.
There were apartments and condos that looked like they were in good shape. Wow, there are so many in this city.
“Some of them are quite cheap and spacious…”
“Surprising, isn't it? We can find many if we look hard enough.”
“Does Rumi want to take a look soon?”
“Ah, I want to look around as soon as possible. Hayato, when are you going back to school?”
“I’ll be back next Monday. Today is Friday, so I can still take the day off.”
“Okay, I’ll contact the real estate agent.”
“Please do.”
When the conversation was in full swing, Rumi leaned her little head against me.
“Hayato-kun … I’m getting sleepy.”
“Oh, I can be your bed or pillow.”
“Yes. Hayato-kun’s body temperature is high and makes me feel warm.”
Rumi fell asleep.
She was really cute.
While I was looking at Rumi, the living room door suddenly opened.
“Hayato! I’m back! Eh? What the hell?”
When the door opened, my father was standing there.
He looked at me and Rumi with an expression as if he had seen a monster. He made that face. Well, I guess that’s natural.
The person next to me wasn’t Akane, but a woman he didn’t recognize.
“Father, you’re home?”
“Oh, hey. Hayato … What is this? What’s up with Akane!”
“I’ll tell you about Akane in detail.”
“In detail? I don’t get it. What’s going on? Who is this beautiful idol-like girl clinging to you?”
Father is very confused. Of course, he is.
In this situation, I have no choice but to explain.
That I was betrayed by Akane. That Akane was involved with several men and gave them my money … and that I was almost killed by her a week ago.
“That’s why…”
“Hey, what the hell! Did Akane cause such an incident … …”
“I’m sorry, but I’ve already severed all ties with Akane. I won’t take care of her anymore.”
“But …”
“If you insist, Father will take care of her.”
“Kano Karino is a distant relative. But he is as cruel as a criminal. I didn’t expect Akane to be like him. …”
Father sighed regretfully.
Well, he brought Akane into this house.
“Yes, but that’s how I met Rumi.”
“Oh my God. To think that someone like your mother is your sister. … No, Hayato is 21 and … Rumi is 20, so it’s not unnatural, but … it’s so unreasonable, you…”
Even at first, I thought it was impossible. But age doesn’t matter. With that in mind, I decided to go ahead, albeit under duress. But after understanding each other’s circumstances, I was convinced that it was possible. That’s how Rumi and I became brother and sister.
“There are many forms of love in this world, Father.”
“What are you talking about?”
Father was surprised and turned away.
“Are you going somewhere?”
“I’m going to see Akane. I’m still responsible for her.”
“… got it.”
Father left the house. …
“… Hayato-kun … Suki (Love).”
“Rumi …”
Even though she talks in her sleep, I’m happy now. Let’s stay like this for a while.
