Chapter 44 - – And Then Visitation Trial (5) (2/2)

The twins who always cried in response to the most trivial things were just staring at us motionlessly.

“Now, make a conclusion. That pain is your responsibility.”

Yule said that and put away her wings.

At the same time, the wind stopped.

The rain and wind outside the window lost their vigor and slowly calmed down.

But my heart was still stormy.

“I… Nana… Jaja… b-but… Kunpei-san”

Aoi stopped shaking her head and continued to mumble.

Nana patted Aoi’s head.

“Aoi…”

Aoi’s body responded to me with a twitch.

She slowly turned towards me with vacant eyes.

Our lines of sight met.

Aoi gazed at me with her wet eyes, her usual liveliness was nowhere to be found.

“Kunpei-san, I like you. I like you a lot. I like the kind-hearted Kunpei-san, I like your strong sense of responsibility, how you treat Shouhei-san, Jaja or Nana, your smile is really sweet. I love you from the bottom of my heart…”

Aoi mustered her strength and told me her honest feelings.

She slowly stood up and walked towards me.

She came in front of me and reached for Jaja.

“Come”

Jaja spread her hands to Aoi, as usual.

She gently took Jaja and faintly smiled.

“Hey, it’s papa…”

Wait.

“Say Bye-bye”

No, wait a minute.

“We apologize for the inconvenience.”

Really wait. Please.

“If we continue to stay here, we’ll cause more trouble than this.”

Such a thing!

“I don’t really know how to thank you. You’ve also spent a lot of money.”

No, like I said!

“Actually, I wanted to return a lot to Kunpei-san who helped me out.”

Words were not coming out of my mouth!

“Really, halfway even until the end…”

Aoi’s eyes rapidly lost light.

I could not do anything but silently watch that happen.

Aoi slowly turned around and separated from me.

“…it’s a tough decision.”

“Don’t speak please, I beg you”

Aoi pressed her forehead on Yule’s chest and looked down.

“Brat, much obliged. Well, I’ll send you some valuables later.”

“… don’t, need it.”

Why could I only respond to such a trivial matter.

“Is that so? Well, I’ll do it even if you don’t need it. Either way, I’ll do as I like.”

Yule hugged Aoi, Jaja, and Nana with both hands and jumped out of the window.

The next moment, she spread her wings and climbed up to the sky.

I could only chase after them through the window frame.

I just continued to look through the window frame, but I could not take even a single step.
