Chapter 207 - Nagoya Trip Of Madness (IV) (1/2)
Due to the exchange of fist with the teddy bear whom I have later known to be the ghost that resides in the mansion, I got a new friend who shares the same hobby as me. Fighting. It wasn't just an exchange that is usually done, it was a heart-to-heart exchange between the living and the dead. That is not an everyday occurrence.
Due to this, I decided that this is the perfect place. Not only does the place ideal for making a teleport waypoint, but a companion was also a plus. Not the expected outcome but it is a welcome one.
Since the teddy bear decided to stay there for a while, I left the mansion and promised the ghost that I will be back once I have finalized the mansion's purchase. After that, I went back to the Realtor's office again.
”HUH? ARE YOU SURE YOU WILL BE TAKING THAT MANSION?!” the realtor was too shocked that she raised her voice.
”Uh... it's not that big of a shocker and uh...please lower your voice, everyone is looking at you.”
”No, no. Are you sure? Did you even check the mansion?! Aren't you creeped out or anything?”
”Of course I went in. I can't just see the outside and declare that I want it. Besides, the ghost was friendly and we are compatible, you don't need to be worried about it.”
”Huh?” the realtor was shocked.
”Anyway, let's get the papers signed. It's getting dark and I still have some things I needed to do.”
Since the papers of that mansion were not as complicated as the others, the purchase was over in a flash. Finally securing a place to create the teleport waypoint, it's time to pay a visit to Father and Mother. I have delayed it for too long.
...
Halfway through the hospital where my mother was staying, rain poured down hard. There was no forecast for the rain so it was very unexpected it would suddenly cause a huge downpour.
Thankfully, it wasn't that strong of rain that the visibility of my car would diminish a lot. I arrived a few minutes later. Now, all I need to know is the room where Mother was staying. Father didn't say anything about the room number on which room she was staying and all I can do is just manually find it. The first thing to do is to ask the nurse station.
”Excuse me, do you know which room does Tsukasa Miyako was staying in?” I asked in the nurse station.
”What is your relationship with the patient, sir?” the nurse on the nurse station asked.
”I am her son, Tsukasa Manato.”
The nurse starts typing on her computer and after a while, she nodded and gave me a number and a Visitor pass.
”The number is where your mother was staying. It is good that you are visiting. Most of the time, your father is not around and when he was, he is full of bruises. We tried to help him patch up his wounds but he always declines. It would be best to talk with your father on this.”
”Thank you for sharing.”
I left the nurse station and went to the room of my mother with a grim look on my face. So father is always not around with Mother and when he is with her, he was covered in bruises like he was in a fight or something? Is this why Father reluctant to say anything to me about the situation due to that reason?!
When I arrived, a nurse was currently checking the dextrose and the temperature of my mother. Other than her, no one else is around. I tried to detect if there is anyone in the bathroom but it seems only the nurse and mother was inside the whole time.
Where is father?
That is the first thing that dropped into my mind. Where did Father go?
