Mentari greeting from the eastern horizon. Hiro and Shima immediately left the sauna. Both men will go to the clinic first. Kogoro did not see his nose after his departure last night.
Before leaving the sauna, Hiro meets Hayate. Honestly, he wanted to stay longer with the old man. Hiro wanted to know more about Hayate. In addition, he also wanted to know how the story of Yamada's descent from Hayate's point of view. But Hiro knows, if the problem of the original body owner he occupies, is the main thing for him. So, he chose to go first.
"I promise, I will often visit here," said Hiro, bowing his body a little. Followed by Shima who was also standing next to him.
Hayate patted gently on the shoulders of Hiro and Shima at once. "Haha..here, just don't forget to pay!" he smiled, making his eyes narrow. "Actually the money Kogoro gave him wasn't so much!" he continued, then went inside the house.
Hiro and Shima reflex looked at each other. It seemed like they were both surprised by the response that Hayate showed. It turned out that the old man had been helping her just because of money. But still, it did not melt Hiro's intention to go see him again.
Hiro's return was greeted with Akira's sullen face. His mother immediately told Hiro to prepare to come with him. Akira wants to find another school for his son.
Hiro had to comply. He also covered up his gunshot wound from Akira as much as possible. That is by wearing a jacket. After all, it was already autumn, so the weather was rather cold. Make Hiro have a good reason to wear a jacket.
Shima looks like she's gone to school. The look on his face frowned because he and Hiro had been scolded by Akira. The man walked out of his house.
...***...
Hiro and Akira were walking sideways. They went to one of the nearby schools. Surprisingly Hiro got a rejection, even without the slightest consideration. At first Akira thought positively, and tried to find another school again. But the response is the same. After the school checks Hiro's identity, that's when there's a rejection.
Everything keeps repeating itself in some of the other schools that Hiro and Akira attend. Now the two mothers and son are sitting resting in a park.
"What have you done? to the point that almost the entire school in this city rejects you?!" timpal Akira stared bitterly at the son.
"Stop that..." Hiro shook his head slowly. His head was thinking and finding out behind the reason he was not accepted in any school. Until the name Izumi. The girl who got him kicked out of school.
'Is this the power of the Nakagawa family that Shima refers to? is it only because of Izumi's annoyance that I was treated like this?' inner Hiro. His forehead shriveled deep. He thinks the girl's behavior is excessive. I don't know what he'll do if Hiro tries to harm him. Could it be that Hiro would get torment like a slave?
"Then why can all the schools reject you? after they found out your long name and date of birth, at that time they also refused.what should I do now.." said Akira who continued with his breath.
Hiro looked at Akira with the corner of his eyes. He turned his mouth to the right, then thought to ask about his father. It seemed that Hiro could no longer stem his curiosity. He wanted to know how Akira reacted.
"How about we ask Dad for help!" chirping the original Hiro, who suddenly caused Akira's eyes to cross towards him.
"Chiro!!" Akira tightened his jaw. He suddenly got up from his seat.
"Why? what do you say is taboo to you?!" reply Hiro while raising his head. Replying to the sharp gaze of the mother with his leisure.
Akira's situation certainly makes Hiro anxious. He tried to calm his mother. From the gigat that Akira showed, he seemed to be traumatized. It seems the memory of Hiro's father was the trigger.
Hiro then takes Akira to one of the nearby shops. Then buy warm drinks and sweet foods to calm his mother.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, I didn't mean to make you this way" Hiro said softly. Emitting a nanar twinkle in his black bead.
Akira shook his head and stroked the top of Hiro's head gently. "I'm the one who should apologize, for always avoiding your questions."
"Actually, I already knew that dad was dead." Hiro doesn't want to convolve. He immediately spoke to the point.
Akira's eyes are perfectly rounded. "W-how are you... did Kogoro tell you?!"
"It doesn't matter who told you. I just want you to know that I already know how Dad is doing now." After saying his sentence, Hiro immediately took a sip of the green tea he ordered.
"I'm sorry Mom, I still can't tell you..." Akira could not continue his words. He continued to shake his head as if he was refusing to remember something that should not have crossed his head. "Everything I do is so that our lives can be at ease."
"It's okay." Hiro tried to understand. He looked at the sad look of Akira. 'Really? in fact, your life now still seems difficult. More even.' Hiro argued in his heart. He now understands why Akira never wants to talk about his past.
Hiro's mind began to guess. Especially about what happened to Akira and her husband. Is it all related to the Nakagawa family? But if so, why does Akira seem to not know the existence of Katashi in Kyoto city. If he wanted to forget everything, Akira should have gone out of town. Instead of continuing to settle in the same location as Katashi. The number of questions only made Hiro hold the head with one hand.
'Then I have to get close to Izumi, ' thought Hiro, who has run out of ways to solve all the puzzles. He wanted to quickly find all the information.
Due to not getting any results, Hiro and Akira finally choose to go home. Akira also has to go to work in the next three hours.
"Mother go home first. I want to take care of something first" Hiro said, as the bus walked slowly. Then stop at a stop.
"Where are you going?" ask Akira. Making a probing look.
"I want to take care of the school. I promise you, I'll get it fixed!" sahut Hiro's. His statement caused Akira's mouth to expand forming a smile. "Do you need my help?" bargain, who felt Hiro would not be able to do it alone.
"No! I can be alone, you have to go to work in a minute."
"All right, I hope you make it." Akira patted Hiro's shoulder gently. Then really go to get off the bus.
After a few minutes on the way. Hiro was at his school first. He was standing in the courtyard, precisely under the sakura tree that was dropping its leaves. He now only needed to wait for Izumi to come out of the gate.
