Chapter 667 – Father and Daughter

　　Lin Qiye walked over to Amamiya Haruhui’s side and took a careful look at him, confirming that there were no fatal wounds on his body before taking a seat by his side.

　　”How is it?”

　　”Consumed a bit of his life span, nothing serious.”

　　Amamiya Haruhide raised his head and looked towards the backs of Yuzurina and Uncle Kyousuke, who were walking together in the distance, and slowly opened his mouth:

　　”What about you? Why did you come back with him?”

　　”We killed an oracle envoy, but in the end he blew himself up and Uncle Kyousuke saved me.”

　　”Did you ask him what happened?”

　　”Asked, it’s pretty much what we thought ……”

　　Amamiya Haruhui, Lin Qiye, and Shen Qingzhu sat side by side in the corner, the first two were recounting this setup laid by Yuzuri Kurotetsu, while Shen Qingzhu couldn’t understand what they were talking about at all, and just pulled out a cigarette from his pocket alone and lit it, exhaling a long breath of smoke ……

　　On the drizzly street, Yuzurinai and Uncle Kyosuke were walking side by side, Yuzurinai looked down at her toes and was silent.

　　Uncle Kyousuke wanted to say something, but did not know where to start, in the end, he owed Yuzu Rina too much, he can even guess, in Yuzu Rina’s heart in the end how the image of ……

　　After a long time of agonizing, Uncle Kyousuke still opened his mouth, no matter what the result was, no matter whether he could obtain Yuzu Rina’s forgiveness or not, he wished to explain clearly to her.

　　Before he could say anything, Yuzurina, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly opened her mouth:

　　”Dad, it must have been very hard for you to be …… for so many years, right?”

　　Uncle Kyousuke’s tiger’s body shook.

　　Yuzu Ri Nai took two steps forward, realized that Uncle Kyousuke did not follow, slightly turned back her head, and after hesitating for a moment, she still spoke in a small voice:

　　”I’m sorry, father ……

　　Before, I always thought that you are a scum who abandoned his wife and children, just like what they show on TV, all you know is to drink and smoke and gamble all day long, and when you have a big debt outside, and have another woman, you completely forget about me and mom in Yokohama ……”

　　Uncle Kyousuke was stunned for a long time, “And now?”

　　”Now I don’t feel that way.” Yuzurina shook her head, her loose hair messing up in the wind, “Even though we haven’t been in contact for a long time, the Uncle Kyousuke I know is a responsible, kind, and very gentle man ah …… If you were a father, you’d be the best dad in the world.

　　Although I don’t know exactly what you went through to become a fugitive and stay away from me and mom, I’m sure you must have your own reasons ……”

　　Uncle Kyousuke looked at Yuzurina in a complicated way, this day, he had long fantasized about it countless times, but he had thought that today’s conversation was destined to be a furious questioning, and in the worst case scenario, Yuzurina might even outright sever the father-son relationship with him.

　　But what he hadn’t expected was that Yuzurina had forgiven him so easily, even taking the initiative to apologize …… even though she didn’t even know what had happened, she was simply willing to believe him.

　　She was too understanding, or …… she was too smart.

　　So smart that it made people’s hearts ache.

　　”Do you want to know how it all went down?” Uncle Kyousuke pressed down the sourness in his heart, squeezing out a smile at the corner of his mouth as he asked.

　　”Want to.” Yuzurina paused, “But before that, I have a question ……”

　　”What question?”

　　”If I remember correctly, I shouldn’t have been five years old when you left home, dad, right?” Yuzurina gazed into Uncle Kyousuke’s eyes, “So, how did you know I came to Osaka? You shouldn’t know what I was like when I grew up.”

　　The corner of Uncle Kyousuke’s mouth rose slightly, “No, I know oh.”

　　Looking at the doubt in Yuzurina’s eyes, Uncle Kyousuke smiled as he solemnly took out a few photos from his bosom and handed them to Yuzurina.

　　Yuzu Rina took the photos and flipped through them one by one, the puzzled look in her eyes intensified.

　　These, were the photos taken on her birthday every year, photos of the youngest child wearing a birthday hat, wearing a brightly colored little dress, standing in front of a big cake, hands together to make a wish, and then blowing out the candles.

　　Seven, eight, nine …… twelve.

　　Pictures from every year, all of them.

　　”Did mom send these to you?” The color of doubt in Yuzurina’s eyes intensified, as if she thought of something, she shook her head, “Impossible …… Mom died when I was nine years old, and Grandma Tsuru accompanied me on the birthdays behind me, she doesn’t know how to use a camera at all ah… …”

　　”No, I took these.”

　　”You took them?” Yurina froze in place, “But you never came back for my birthday ……”

　　”Just because you didn’t see me doesn’t mean I wasn’t there.” Uncle Kyousuke put his hand on the hilt of the [Mystic Hitomi], a smile appeared on his face, and he said with some pride, “Little Yuzuru Riina, for every one of your birthdays, daddy hasn’t been absent oh ……”

　　Yuzuru Riina held these pictures in her hands, her eyes reddened once again, “Then, then why didn’t you see me since you came?”

　　”I was afraid that if I saw you, I wouldn’t be able to leave.” Uncle Kyousuke said helplessly, “In front of his own daughter’s tears and pleas, there aren’t many fathers who can be hard-hearted …… but if I don’t leave, I will only bring danger to you.”

　　Yuzurina’s lips pursed up, tears welling up in her eyes, and with a clench of her teeth, she quickly ran up to Uncle Kyousuke and rushed into his arms.

　　Uncle Kyousuke gently wrapped his arms around her, and his eyes were filled with the color of love.

　　”Then …… will you leave me in the future?” After a long time, Yuzurina looked up at Uncle Kyousuke, tears turning in her reddened eyes, “Daddy, don’t leave, okay ……”

　　Uncle Kyousuke looked into her eyes in silence, and after an unknown amount of time, smiled and nodded.

　　”Good ……”

　　Hearing those words, a smile finally appeared on Yuzurina’s face, and she buried her head into Uncle Kyousuke’s arms, rubbing all her tears on his sequined suit, smiling as she did so.

　　”Daddy the way you look now is fake right? I want to see what you looked like originally ……” Yuzurina looked like she thought of something.

　　Uncle Kyousuke’s expression was a bit torn, “Little Yuzuru-nee, daddy’s original face was injured …… it will scare you.”

　　”I don’t care.” Yuzuri-ni said stubbornly, “I won’t dislike my dad’s looks!”

　　Uncle Kyousuke sighed helplessly under Yuzurina’s stubbornness, and he reached his hand to the hilt of the [Mystic Hitomi] blade at his waist and gently touched it.

　　”Alright then ……”

　　A psychedelic light flashed, and Uncle Kyousuke’s appearance gradually changed into an unfamiliar face.

　　It was the face of a middle-aged man, a bit younger in comparison to Uncle Kyousuke’s appearance, and his face was much more proportional, a standard golden ratio face, his features were divinely handsome, and those good-looking eyes were full of the depth and despondency of a mature man, but in terms of his facial features, he was even a few points more refined in terms of his looks than Lin Qiye!

　　However, on his forehead and left cheek, three hideous blood scars looked like they had been branded into the flesh, completely destroying the face, turning it from a handsome handsome man who was enough to seduce the hearts of thousands of women into a fierce and terrifying villainous appearance, so that even just walking in to take a look at it, one would be shocked and unable to look at it directly.

　　Kyousuke uncle’s arms, Yuzu Rina looked up and scrutinized this face for a long time, and a bright smile appeared on her face:

　　”What’s the matter, dad, you’re obviously super handsome, okay? And you’re even better looking than Brother Seven Nights!”
