Takeshi: "Soshi!"
Soshi: "Welcome dear guests, I hope your travel was pleasant"
Soshi responds, completely exhausted after quickly running to the front yard to welcome
the guest.
Takeshi: "Where is my big sister?"
Takeshi asks nicely, looking around and noticing that no one is here to welcome them,
Soshi: "Mrs. Mitsunaga-sama apologizes for not being able to come here, an emergency
happened involving her, so she isn't able to welcome you right now"
Takeshi: "Wha-…"
Takeshi is Interrupted by his wife, Emiko Taketa or how other's call her, Mrs. Taketa,
Mrs. Taketa: "This is sad to hear, is everything alright with dear Ritsuko is what my husband wanted to ask"
She replies with a smile while pulling Takeshi on his ear, dragging him down,
Soshi: "Yes, Mrs. Mitsunaga-sama is alright, but the matter involves her, and she also
refused to leave the matter so she begs for your patience until she can welcome you by herself, until then I kindly ask you all to follow me to your rooms"
Mrs. Taketa: "Very well Soshi, and I again apologize for my husband's immature behavior"
Hinata: "Did you hear that brother? Something happened this explains why we are the only ones"
She says to Arashi, lately noticing Arashi's concerned expression,
Arashi: "M-mother"
He says to himself before quickly turning around and running back the way he came from quickly followed by Hinata.
Arashi quickly jumps on top of the buildings, running quickly to where his mother's room is located,
Arashi: "Please don't let it be mother"
He says to himself while jumping of the roofs, landing back on the ground,
Hinata: "Arashi, wait a minute"
She replies, finally reaching Arashi who stands in front of his mother's room,
opening the door and seeing his mother, laying on her bed in a coma like state,
with doctors all around her.
Hinata: "N-no…"
She says, quickly turning to Arashi who is frustratingly watching what is happening
in front of him.
Arashi: "W-what happened"
He asks silently, but he gets ignored,
Arashi: "Hey, did you guys did not hear me?"
He replies, slowly getting louder. Hinata holds his hand, trying to calm him down,
Hinata: "Arashi, I am also confused but we should let them-…"
Arashi: "Hey you fuckers, are you ignoring me? I am asking what happened"
He says, getting even louder, ignoring and interrupting Hinata,
Hinata: "Brother, stop"
Arashi ignores her again, clenching his fists together and getting angrier.
Mrs. Mitsunaga: "Children"
She says from behind them, noticing Arashi's anger.
Both turn around, looking Mrs. Mitsunaga and her worried expression,
Mrs. Mitsunaga: "Why don't you follow me, and I will explain what happened"
She adds on to her sentence, holding both in her arms.
…
Mrs. Mitsunaga, Arashi and Hinata are settling together in her room, pouring tea into three cups while sitting around a small table in her room.
Mrs. Mitsunaga: "I was there when your mother collapsed, her state got worse, the
doctors and specialists suspect it to be a sickness that is weakening her body and attacks her immune system, but don't worry, I asked the elders and they let me use every medium to ensure that your mother will be healthy again"
Arashi: "Really? I felt something in that room, something that wasn't a sickness"
Mrs. Mitsunaga gets silent, thinking for a second before speaking out,
Mrs. Mitsunaga: "I can tell you that you don't have to be concerned about your mother, she will be fine"
Hinata: "Okay good, I trust you Mrs. Mitsunaga-sama"
Mrs. Mitsunaga smiles, standing up and hugging both of them,
Mrs. Mitsunaga: "I promise you that she will be alright"
She adds on to her sentence, sending both of them out of her room.
Arashi walks along the hallway, he had left a bracelet in Mrs. Mitsunaga's room earlier so he would have an excuse to turn around and talk to her without Hinata being near them,
Arashi: "Hinata, I forgot something inside Mrs. Mitsunaga's room, I will get it quickly, you can go without me"
Hinata notices that Arashi isn't honest with her, but she simply ignores it,
Hinata: "Alright brother, but you heard Mrs. Mitsunaga-sama, mother will be alright"
Arashi turns around, quickly walking back to Mrs. Mitsunaga's room, seeing her break
out in tears, not noticing Arashi.
Arashi: "Mrs. Mitsunaga-sama…"
He says quietly, watching her cry before she notices him,
Mrs. Mitsunaga: "Arashi, what can I do for you?"
She says surprised, wiping away her tears,
Arashi: "I noticed that you weren't honest, probably because we aren't full grown adults now, but I am old enough to hear the truth, I beg you, tell me the truth"
He says, falling to the ground, begging her on his knees.
Mrs. Mitsunaga stares surprised at Arashi, who is on his knees begging,
Mrs. Mitsunaga: "I don't know if I can"
Arashi: "Please, I do whatever you want"
Mrs. Mitsunaga falls into silence again,
Mrs. Mitsunaga: "It will break your heart…"
Arashi: "I am ready"
Mrs. Mitsunaga: "Your mother has been the victim of a curse, making her weaker, each
and everyday."
Arashi: "If it's only a curse, why don't you just hire someone to remove it?"
Mrs. Mitsunaga: "I wish, but the elders won't let me, not yet"
Arashi: "What, why?"
Mrs. Mitsunaga: "I am sorry, but I don't know either, the elders just simply won't let me"
Arashi: "Okay so I just have to simply convince them to let you hire one"
Mrs. Mitsunaga: "Arashi, wait-…"
She says, trying to stop Arashi but it's too late, Arashi already ran away, heading
to the room of one of the elders,
Arashi: "I just have to convince one of them to safe mother"
He says, full of hope while running to another room, standing in front of a door.
Ready to knock on the door, but he stops, he hears a conversation between one of the elders and another person,
???: "How can you mistake Ritsuko Mitsunaga with Meyio Mitsunaga, you good for nothing necromancer,…, you will not get paid until at least Meyio Mitsunaga has
died,…, her death will make Ritsuko want to stop being the head of the Mitsunaga's that's why you will get paid half of the price,…, see this as accepting your apology for your stupid mistake,…, we made her the head because
we though that she will support our ideas just like her husband did but after all this years all she did was listen to herself and to that stupid Meyio,…, I will discuss this with the other elders later in our meeting,…"
Arashi is shocked, falling to the ground, filled with confusion and rage,
Arashi: "Those fuckers…I'll kill them all"
