Chapter 75: The third bride/ The emotions deeper within (1/2)
Chapter 74: The Third Bride/ True Motives Chapter 76: The third bride/ It is still too early to dream about it
The three sisters had their eyes wide open, and Yurikago faintly moved her eyebrows. Akiha had an expression of sympathy on her face, while Kohaku let out a sigh because Aoba finally said what she wanted to say.
—-I want to know who my real mother is.
This was a shadow that had been following Miyagi Aoba around and has tormented her over the years.
When Taiyou visited the Miyagi household and heard their story, he had a feeling that this was the case.
Taiyou speculated that there were two reasons for Aoba as to why she left home, the first was that it was purely because her father wanted to increase the amount of his lovers by one. The second possible reason was that it acted as a fuse for a deep seated problem that has been bothering her since a long time ago.
He didn’t know which one it was, but he thought that the second reason was more likely.
It turned out that it was just as Taiyou had expected. Having a new woman being added to the harem and someone new that she had to call mother was just an excuse for her to get angry. Because of this opportunity to make an excuse, the thing that troubled her for so many years exploded.
Aoba started to cry, letting out a loud voice as tears streamed down her face.
Taiyou just let her cry as much as she desired. Although the three sisters couldn’t stand it any longer and was going to try to comfort Aoba, Kohaku gently stopped them.
After letting her emotions out and crying bitterly, she was finally able to calm down, that’s when Taiyou started to talk to her again.
「You truly want to find that out don’t you?」
「…….Yeah」
「If you later find out that amongst those three women, that none of them is your real mother, are you sure you won’t regret this decision?」
Hearing Taiyou’s words, Aoba’s body shook as she trembled.
Although she seemed scared, her face did not show an expression of shock. She herself had probably imagined such a possibility.
「For her to not have a real mother」 (Kotone speaking)
「Is there really such a thing?」 (Suzune Speaking)
「Then Miyagi-san will—」 (Kazane Speaking)
「This is just a possibility, in Miyagi-san’s case just thinking about it there are four potential patterns to this scenario. Her real mother can either be: A, B, C or option D neither any of them」 (Taiyou speaking)
「Strictly speaking if it was in fact option D, it could be further split into a category of someone that it is someone she is acquainted with or someone totally unknown, but that’s probably something to talk at a later date jyana」 (Kohaku Speaking)
「Yeah, well these are just the potential possibilities」 (Taiyou Speaking)
After understanding it a little more, the three sisters turned their gazes towards Aoba as Taiyou asked her the question again.
「If you want me to investigate this, there is a possibility that you might dig out something you don’t want to see. Therefore, let me ask once again, do you really wish to know?」
Saying this, Taiyou looked straight at Aoba. His eyes were like a further reminder.
Aoba hesitates a little bit but then she looked towards him.
「I want to know who my real mother is, I really want to know」
「Aoba, if you find out later that amongst those three mothers, none of them is your real mother, what are you going to do?」
Her closest friend Akiha asked the question. Normally she has a carefree atmosphere but you could tell that it was now filled with concern.
「I don’t know, but I still want to know」
「I see」
「I understand, if you’ve decided that then I will do everything in my power to help」
「B-but how are you going to do such a thing?」
「The first step is to take a DNA test, well this much is obvious though. But if we were to take this approach, how long would it normally take for the results to get back?」
Turning towards Kohaku, he asked her the question. Out of everyone here, she probably had the most knowledge, besides just a little while ago, she was involved in a project that was related to genes and genetic material so Taiyou thought that there is a large possibility that should would know about DNA testing as well.
As was expected, she answered him back promptly.
「In my approximation, it will take around ten days to finish, needing to wait for your turn and filling out the official documents, also the time it would take to mail the results to us jya」
「Is there a faster method?」
「Umu, well if you spend a large sum of money, you can avoid all those processes and just obtain the results of the test right there on the spot jya. However, the problem lies in a different place」
「What do you mean?」
「When you hear about DNA testing, what kind of thing, or what do you think is the method of testing jya?」
「Well…. I thought that it was getting the hair of the person and then using that piece of DNA to perform the test, am I wrong?」
「Strictly speaking it is a little different from that, we can still use hair but that is not the best alternative. The best is if you can gather the saliva from that person and use that perform the test jya」
「The saliva….. from that persons mouth?」
「That’s right jya」
「……」
Taiyou looks down and had a thoughtful look.
He was thinking that if it was as simple as requiring a person’s strand of hair, then even if it may be a little troublesome to obtain, it wasn’t necessarily going to be a hard task.
However, if you were to try an obtain a person’s saliva from within their mouth then it was an entirely different story. Unlike just sneaking into someone’s house and stealing a strand of their hair, collecting someone’s saliva wasn’t that easy.
「Must we really do it like that though?」
「If you want to do this, don’t you want the results to be absolutely accurate jyaro?」
