Chapter 82: The Third Bride / Confrontation between Mother and Daughter (2/2)

So Aoba started. Her face suddenly became tense and it was as if she turned into a completely different person. Taiyou was beside her and unintentionally had his breath taken away from the change.

Naturally, the two women opposite of them were astonished. Their face showed a hint of implying that they had never seen their daughter like this before. It was as if Aoba announced a declaration to them.

「That’s why I will do a DNA test」

「……」

「……」

Atsuko and Miho were at a loss for words because what Aoba said was too unexpected.

Taiyou thought that he understood their feelings. Suddenly returning and then saying such a thing face-to-face as well. He thought that surely the women would be two-times as shocked.

Aoba did not change her expression and looked straight at them both.

Somehow, Miho who composed herself easily before, reacted furiously.

「Aoba-sama! Do you know what you are saying!? Do not do such a thing as a DNA test!」

「So then, why won’t you tell me Mother? Who is my birth mother?」

「That……is something I will not tell you ……at least by my own discretion」

「I do not deem it acceptable as well. That’s why I cannot tell you Aoba」

「Yeah, I know.I figured that mama and everyone would say that. That’s why I decided to investigate it myself」

「Students like Aoba-sama should not be able to do such a thing like that――」

As Miho started to speak, she suddenly realized something and glared at Taiyou. Her expression seemed to have eloquently implied “if hatred could kill a person”.

「Yes, I will cooperate」

「You’re a student as well right?」

「I’m not just a mere student. There aren’t many things I can do, but I can introduce Miyagi-san to the highest level of DNA testing agencies. 」

「Won’t you give up? Is it fun to tear apart a person’s family?」

「It’s because I am not the type who enjoys leaving cracks. 」2

Taiyou replied undauntedly.It was at this point that he started to lose his temper a little.

It was a series of events where they were only thinking of themselves, and in a way, ignoring their daughter. Taiyou could not approve of it regardless of the circumstances.

In other words, he strongly felt that he did not want to become that way.Considering he was building a similar family, the Miyagi family was a negative example, one which he could learn from their mistakes by watching them. That was why he opposed them.

「Please give up Aoba-sama. There is still time now」

「It’s useless Miho-san. Look at Aoba’s expression. It looks exactly like that guy from Toushiro.You should have well realized the stubbornness of such a face, don’t you agree?」3

「But……」

「It seems you won’t give up. Either we tell you ourselves or you will investigate it yourself? You’re giving me the feeling that you won’t stop until you know the truth. Even if we forcibly stop you?」

「I will stop you with all of my might」

「Haa…….」

「Because I will」

Aoba quietly but distinctly nodded her head.

It seemed that she was already resolved.

「I understand, do it yourself. If that’s the case, I wonder why did you come here and ask me? If you were going to investigate, you could have investigated it alone.Couldn’t a DNA test be completed just by stealing hair in some way? What good did it do you by coming here?」

(That’s a good question)

「Because I like Mommy, Mama, and Mother. It’s because I love you」

「Is that so」

「Aoba-sama……」

(That being said, do you understand now?)

Atsuko expressionlessly comprehended it while Miho understood but had a sour face.

Taiyou was slightly surprised by their expressions.

「I have understood what Aoba wanted to say and her feelings as well.However…….」

Atsuko seemed ok but narrowed her eyes.

Her atmosphere had completely changed. She majestically exuded the attractive sex-appeal of an adult, but now it had changed into an atmosphere that no one could get close to. If Shirokiyami emanated a blood-thirst like a sharp blade, Atsuko emanated an imitating air that reached the ceiling. For a moment, Taiyou felt like he was suffocating, despite there being nothing.

「I do not approve of it. I will not allow it」

「……」

When Atsuko said that, Miho stiffened her face as well. She showed her willingness to follow her opinion by being silent.

「That’s our consensus. This is the one thing that we could never yield on.Does Aoba still have an intention of doing the test?」

「Yes」

「I understand」

Atsuko said after nodding slightly.
