Chapter 7
Sakamaki Izayoi, Mikado Tokuteru and Prithvi Mata - as the three of them left ”Don Bruno”
”So, what are you going to do fro to use Buddha's ”Touiriten”?”
”No, this tio that far Get on both of you”
Mikado Tokuteru urged the that both of the towards Katsushi+ka district of Tokyo Beco the alotten map of Tokyo Metropolis in his mind
”Kan-Etsu? Oi, where are you going”
”My do towards the place where I can open the ”Boundary Gate””
Hitting the gas, Mikado Tokuteru went straight towards Katsushi+ka
Holding his chin in his hand, Izayoi pondered over what he said
“For You(Taishakuten) to be heading towards Katsushi+ka would meanYou have soht?”
”Indeed shi+bai's domain Our company is also located there Out of all the japanese temples, it is the easiest way to connect to Little Garden It's only about four hundred years old, however it fulfils the paradig the ”Boundary Gate”
shi+bamata Taishakuten───One of the temples that worshi+p Taishakuten and Bishamonten, Established in Kan'ei Era 6th Year of early Edo Period A the temples that worshi+p Taishakuten, it would be the prominent domain in japan
Taking in overned was ancient India, co There was probably no other suitable place
If the people co to visit it knew about this, they would surely be shocked
No one would have ever iined that that the main deity worshi+ped by the shrine would actually take residence so close to it
Izayoi laughed in an amazed tone
”That's probably a God's grace as well Did the shi+tamachi around Katsushi+ka stay the sa districts or back alleys”
“There's no way it would change in hborhood is what attracts the custohborhood of the teives ”
Mikado Tokuteru's expression softened just by a bit
───Speaking of Taishakuten, he was one of the oldest aend was full of hu known as a drunkard and a wo people was not just for show This lustful felloho loves his liquor isn't called the king of the Gods that won over the heart of the
Izayoi also nodded as if agreeing to hied and shook his head as if he re
“I do feel like wanting to visit it so so carefree I' settles down”
”There's no need to be in such a rush It could be that after this there will be another period of time when the Little Garden's time will be in sync with the outside world's time ,you know? Even if you spend some time with Suzuka and Homura, you can still coordinate it later
”Don't say such stupid stuff I went there after deciding to cast away everything without ever planning to go return to them And yet, after threeno, five years have passed, so up all of a sudden, isn't it quite rude towards those who I have abandoned”
His expression gradually changed fro to serious Prith and Tokuteru understood the reason behind his faithfulness
Canaria as the e
Izayoi as the oldest froe
Five years ago when those two had disappeared───Saigou Homura and Ayazato Suzuka were still just ten year old kids For them who had their dear ones lost one after another, those times were undoubtedly harsh
Those two as well, who always clung to Izayoi's back without separating, were now fifteen years old It was the big crossroad of life, and also the first step of a hu its first trial
He couldn't expect the for selfish reasons at such crucial tis without everthem, for various reasons, the situation fell into this kind of eency
However, Tokuteru found it hard to agree with hiar held in his mouth while such atmosphere drifted about
”I seeNo, I do understand what you are trying to say But, that's if the situation went sht? After rolling them up in it, that excuse doesn't work anymore”
”Thats”
Feeling the reason in Tokuteru's words, Izayoi turned silent for a bit
At that point, Prith who kept quiet until now asked in wonder
”Izayoi If you care for those children so much, then why did you cast aside the ”Canaria Family Home”?”
”Well, that's because, there were people aside from me who they could be entrusted to Don Bruno and Mada, and there was also the old s were all present, my absence alone shouldn't have been a problem”
Izayoi spoke nostalgically
Old man Ushi+matsu who heenterprise - Ushi+e sue───or so it was publically But in truth, he was one of the Izayoi and Canaria's ga friends
The reason they used ga as the means of approach to Mr Ushi+matsu who had built a fortune in his life, established a company, and was known as a celebrity around his place, wasn't only because they wanted to get a large investment
Izayoi's and Canaria's true intention was to involve Mr Ushi+ of the orphanage which they wanted to build
The result ins, one loss, and two draws This est swindler of Heisei” by Izayoi, was very pleased with the two, and readily gave consent with investing into ”Canaria Family Home”
”There was that monstrous old man He would take care of those simple problems Homura and Suzuka in particularwere the most favoured kids of old man Ushi+matsu But still, I didn't consider that they would be made to enroll in Houei Private's association It's a prestigious school, but the expenses are supposedly high”
Yayaya - Izayoi laughed as if he was having fun The reason why there were sohis acquaintances, was probably because of his special origins and the Gift that he carried
Being a hedonist by nature, he was not holding back to have his ith the things he was unable to stolance, but he was resolved to take responsibility for all his actions and dealt with everything Therefore, there was simply no need to remove his self-possessed attitude from the everyday life
But there weren’t eneration who could understand Izayoi's such views of life Because ordinary boys didn't have the ability to take responsibility or resolution in them, no matter how much they pushed themselves
Therefore, ed Izayoi as ”Good”, were naturally elders And Izayoi as well enjoyed the company of adults who, from years of experience have acquired complete view of life
A them, old man Ushi+matsu was certainly one of the specials
Mikado and Prith who understood that fact had mutually casted their eyes doith complex expressions The two of thean to talk carefully, looking as if they were trying to find the right words
”That old man, has passed away”
”Huh?”
”Izayoi Cal that happened on the Golden Week two years ago Apparently, Mr Ushi+ on a trip with his family, however he had a heart failure on the way”
Izayoi sed his breath ide eyes from the notice about his death
”That old man, died you say?”
”Yes After that, the Ushi+ the ”Canaria Fae pulled back all at once To the point that there was not a single patron for some time”
”The two things which saved the ”Canaria Fa up, was the research that Ho Company, or so I heard”
This time, Izayoi showed astonishment as he listened to Prith's words
───Two years ago when patrons retreated one after another
Mr Ushi+ the funds to the ”Canaria Family Home” However, if it was like a nor and invite them for a short domestic travel
Before that however, came the unexpected news about Mr Ushi+matsu's death
Although Homura and Suzuka were at a loss about it all, they didn't quit there and requested for the them However, they were turned away by Mr Ushi+matsu's second son
As there was no sight of other patrons and the two resolved for the breakup, the one who cahter of the president of Everything Company
”Everything CompanyAnd also, Kudou you say?”
”Yes Yeah, haven't you heard? Everything Co cooes that a japanese girl who crossed over from the other side is connected to their rise
” No, this isthat So for what reason did the Everything Company start to invest?”
”For continuing the research about the Nanomachines left by Homura's fatheror rather, their reproduction You should also be aware of the nature of Hoht?”
To Tokuteru's words, Izayoi gave a nod as if having understood it
”I see! Ho what he disasse that in some way, you mean!?”
”Yeah In the first place, it becaer Gift fro like that”
Tokuteru inforster like Homura to participate in the research of the latest Nanomachines, it was the utilization of his Gift to it's full potential
”I acted as theCompany Then, with the conditions to dedicate most of his life to the research of Nanomachines, he has saved the ”Canaria Fah decision for a kid to make, don't you think?”
”Tokuteru Did you just silently watch as he made that decision?”
”Of course How could an outsider like me interject when Homura himself made up his mind and decided on it?”
While speaking about it as if it was soht
As he entered the capital froarette
”That said, it was a decision of recklessly living kids who knew nothing of the world When they fall down, it's the adult's job to pull their asses up But you only have to do that if so happens dynamically and they cannot stand up by themselves If that time came, Ior you, would just take responsibility”
”─────”
Without denying or affirht to the outside of the car
It wasn't as if he was overly optimistic about it, but it seeed quite a lot
Regarding the ht that what Tokuteru said was correct If you force kids to make a decision, then to help theuardian Even for the kids of the ”No Naed to, he planned to do just the same when the time came for them to make a decision
But that was only possible because they ithin the range where Izayoi could keep an eye on them The current Izayoi had many friends in Little Garden, he absolutely couldn't return back
In other words, lending them a hand whenever he ca he could do
Seeing that it was such a situation, he wasn't able to agree so simply
To say nothing of the fact that throwing everything at Tokuteru without hesitation was also out of question If it cao and bon to Don Bruno with all his strength
”Well, no one thinks that you're obligated to do it Mr Ushi+matsu's death was unexpected and, because of that, it was Homura that decided to take responsibility for the orphans That's why, next time you talk with Homura, just be sure to keep that in mind ───Now then, we'll arrive at shi+bamata Taishakuten in a bit”
They dropped the speed at the capital After the three came to shi+tamachi, they parked the car, and stepped foot in his dorounds of shi+bamata Taishakuten

It was a sound raised after falling with a thud As if following that, the as sether with a thunderous roar The ay hit by the giant battleaxe and lightning, foriant whirlpool
