Umezaki Yushiro gazes at his daughter. She's looking at him seriously and waiting for an answer. He wonders if he should tell her the truth or not. Will that carefree smile leave this world if he does?
If he denies not knowing that man, she won't believe him. "He's my old student."
It's a gamble that he is willing to take.
She seems upset. "Then, what is his name?"
"Ichihara Kiyoshi."
He's sure that Kiyohira won't tell her the real name. That's what they decided on. She didn't recognize him or find him familiar when she saw Kiyohira. That's a good sign. That's also a bad sign. Either she will remember at once or she will never remember it. Then, it's better if she never remembers.
Yuhara Kozue senses the tense air between father and daughter. "Umezaki san, you must be hungry. What do you want to eat? It will be my treat. Professor, where should we take Umezaki san?"
He's ignored by both father and daughter pair.
