Chapter 926: A Long Day in the Life of Miyama Kaito ① (1/2)

It was often said that ”It is no use crying over spilt milk”. Most of the failures in the world are realized after such mistakes were committed, but at the same time, they often notice it by the time it's too late.

It may be a common story that a single careless remark can cause a tremendous situation. However, it's hard to describe the feeling of despair when you are the victim of such an incident.

Humans are beings who regret. We look back at the past and think…… That perhaps, if only I had done this…… If only I had known about that……

I'm not a God. Being a mere mortal, there's no way for me to go back in time, but I still wonder…… if somehow, I can redo that mistake……

As I ponder upon the unchanging past, I ask myself for the umpteenth time…… Why did this happen?

[What's the matter, my beloved child? Are you pondering about things?]

[No, it's nothing.]

[I see, now that we have this opportunity, let's take a ”private stroll” to our hearts content.]

[……You're…… right.]

She smiles like an angel, she looks like an angel…… but why does she look like a predator that couldn't help herself from drooling?

Her tone was polite and seemingly kind…… but why is her madness that's usually hidden oozing out……

In the first place…… Seriously…… I don't know how many times I've asked why this happened, but I really regretted my careless remarks.

It all started just a while ago. It was the usual tea party with Eden-san, who appears about five times a week. I was thinking that it was just a day like any other.

Fifteen minutes had passed, and she was almost past Rampage Phase 2, so I thought I would send a signal to Kuro and end the tea party just like usual.

If I had to describe it…… I think I was ”careless” at that time. Even though Eden-san was the most dangerous person I knew, I thought that I had already established a standard flow when interacting with her.

That's why I had peace of mind…… thinking that it would be the same this time…… that today would just be like always…… It is often in such situations that irregularities occur.

[My beloved child, Mother has traveled around this world and found places that I somehow liked.]

[Heehhh…… Places Eden-san liked huh, I'm slightly curious. What kind of place is it?]

[There are a couple of places, one of them is a pretty scenic island. Large, but not very inhabited. It's a place of natural beauty, different from the beauty that has been maintained and managed by someone.]
