Chapter 106 Gradually Understanding Binah
“I have no idea at all.”
Asakura Yuu and the 3 of them walked around the residential area for a long time, but due to time constraints and other issues, they couldn’t find the child’s home.
“Reina, are you hungry? Should we go eat something first?”
Asakura Yuu pointed to a restaurant not far away and asked.
Earlier, he had managed to find out the child’s name, which wasn’t bad, but unfortunately, they didn’t see the doorplate of their home along the way, making him doubt his earlier reasoning.
If all else fails, he could ask Momo to investigate and pay her for her services later.
However, this rich young lady had been acting strange lately… always sneaking into her own bed at midnight, and he had no idea what she was thinking.
The topic of marriage they discussed earlier was just a joke, right?
Hopefully, it was just a joke, or else getting engaged next year and married the year after would be too much for a high school student to handle.
“Mmm,” Reina silently nodded.
The uniform she wore was similar to the one the little girl Asakura Yuu met by the river was wearing, seemingly from the same school?
Asakura Yuu observed her expression, trying to guess her thoughts.
‘Feeling guilty because she deceived us?’
Probably.
Because she was throwing a tantrum, she refused the good intentions of others and lied about not knowing her parents’ phone number… children weren’t just naughty; many of them were also sensible.
They arrived at the restaurant.
Since it was already almost 9 pm, there weren’t many people eating there, after all, it was just a family restaurant, not a high-end place.
They ordered a few slices of cake.
Asakura Yuu noticed Eucliwood didn’t seem interested in eating and asked, “Eu, aren’t you eating?”
A puzzled gaze came from Eucliwood’s clear eyes.
She held up a note: [I’m not hungry.]
‘Not hungry, so not eating?’ But according to your theory, necromancers would never be hungry, so they’d never need to eat.
What powerful beings, if the underworld were all necromancers, it should be very prosperous, right?
After all, they wouldn’t be troubled by food.
Of course, assuming the underworld actually exists.
Wait a minute…
‘Not needing to eat means not needing to use the bathroom.’
Wouldn’t that mean necromancers… ugh, stop thinking about it; such pure and innocent beauties shouldn’t exist in this world!
“Even if you’re not hungry, eat a bit.”
“I bought you a slice,” Asakura Yuu pushed a slice of cake towards her. “If you’re worried about getting fat, don’t worry. I heard that the sweets girls eat automatically go into another stomach, so the calories aren’t absorbed by the body, making it safe.”
This convenient phrase often used by girls made Eucliwood blink.
The human body is strange, having 2 stomachs?
She didn’t refuse Asakura Yuu’s kindness anymore, picked up the fork, and ate the dessert in small bites.
It was strange, though; even though Yu-chan had a poker face, there was a strange sense of happiness on her face at the moment.
‘She’s no different from ordinary girls, after all.’ Asakura Yuu admired her eating, feeling a bit emotional.
He always said he couldn’t worship girls like idols, but when facing this girl, who was as pure as a feather, he couldn’t help but do so.
The less contact you have, the more people rely on their own fantasies to fill in the blanks.
Just like those commoners pondering what tools the king might use…
After eating some cake, Asakura Yuu asked, “Rena-chan, do you really not know your phone number, or did you just forget? Your parents would be worried if they couldn’t find you.”
Rena thought for a few seconds, then whispered, “…I forgot.”
“Have you remembered it now?” Asakura Yuu asked in a gentle voice again.
“I, I remember it now.”
“Is that so? Can you tell me?”
“Will Mom and Dad be angry…?” she asked in a tiny voice, her eyes slightly red.
She’ll probably get a scolding, right?
After all, she ran away from home, but he had to deceive her in this situation.
Tsk, he’s finally become a dirty adult, actually having to deceive a child.
“They won’t.”
“Really?”
“Really, really.” Asakura Yuu comforted her with a tone of voice used to coax a child, and indeed, he was coaxing a child. “Just say you came out to eat cake with your brother and sister.”
After being comforted like this, Rena finally relaxed and recited a string of numbers, deliberately pretending to be not very familiar, but in Asakura Yuu’s eyes, it was full of loopholes, like when he was in elementary school and didn’t do his homework and lied to the teacher about not bringing it, the teacher knew, but didn’t expose it.
But there are also those who actually did their homework, but were wrongly accused of not bringing it…
“Beep……beep……”
The phone rang for a long time, always showing that it was in a call.
After half a minute, the phone connected……”Hello, who is this?”
“Hello, your daughter is with me…”
“How much is it? I, I’ll give it right away…”
Asakura Yuu almost choked when he heard the woman’s words.
Did he really look like a kidnapper?
His voice was gentle, right?
And he used honorifics.
“No, my friend and I met Rena-chan on the street just now, and then… yes, at the family restaurant here.”
Asakura Yuu listened to the grateful voice on the other end of the phone and felt that being a Mother wasn’t easy.
Things were pretty much as he guessed.
The child had a fight with her Mother, ran out while her Mother was cooking, and then got lost.
After getting into a fight and running away from home, the kid didn’t dare to ask for help, and if Eucliwood hadn’t spoken up in time, who knows where this kid would have ended up.
“Rina-chan, your mom will be here soon.”
“Thanks, sis, and thanks, big brother.”
She thanked her sister before thanking her brother?
Asakura Yuu thought to himself, I’m the one who made the call, after all.
Eucliwood also put down her fork and held up a note: [Thanks.]
Asakura Yuu didn’t refuse her thanks and smiled at her.
If he hadn’t come, this stubborn necromancer, who insisted on not speaking, would have had to wait who-knows-how-long.
Was she being too stubborn?
It’s not like it’s a real persona, just a cosplay getup.
After waiting for a while,
The kid’s mother arrived, and when she left with her child, she bowed and thanked them tearfully in front of the family restaurant, making Asakura Yuu feel a bit embarrassed; she even offered to compensate them, but was refused multiple times before giving up.
Asakura Yuu sighed, “After making a mistake, people probably choose to escape, and after coming to their senses, they feel like they’ve hurt others and unknowingly fall into a pit of self-blame, sinking deeper and deeper until they can’t even face the problem.”
Eucliwood tugged on his sleeve and held up a note…
[Apologizing is enough.]
“But whether the person will forgive you is an outcome that can’t be determined.”
Eucliwood tilted her head, not quite understanding.
She continued writing: [If you apologize sincerely, you’ll be forgiven.]
‘If you apologize, you’ll be forgiven? You’re too naive, Yu-chan; it’s the things that can’t be forgiven that are the majority…’
Asakura Yuu sighed inwardly.
His sleeve was tugged a few more times…
[If you can’t be forgiven at first, then try for a second time.] After showing him the writing, Eucliwood added: [You can’t stay in one place.]
Asakura Yuu looked at the last sentence she wrote.
Stay in one place…he’s been reminded of this for the second time.
“You’re right; if you don’t go and apologize, and face the problem, things will only get worse. If you’re just a coward, you won’t be able to solve anything.”
Eucliwood nodded.
It seems like he’s been helped?
“It’s getting late…” Asakura Yuu noticed it was almost 10 pm.
“Do you want me to walk you home?”
Eucliwood didn’t respond; she didn’t have a home to go back to.
If she had to go back, it would be to the underworld, but something had happened there…
She shook her head.
“I’ll be going, then.”
Asakura Yuu said, bidding her farewell.
After walking more than ten meters away, he turned back to look, and found that her solitary figure under the streetlight seemed a bit lonely, sparking a thought to invite her to his home, but it was quickly suppressed.
‘An unexpected encounter is enough.’
Today, he met a different Yuu; he wondered when their next meeting would be.
