Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

She took off her flowery hair clip. Actually, she had been following behind her and watching her from the beginning, but now she appeared in front of her and forcefully restrained the broken glass that her mother was about to throw.

Standing in front of her was none other than Mr. Yagi, who was protecting her!

Volume 1: 49. Bullying Transfer and Excuses, A Silent Voice and the Meeting of Octopus Pierce

49. Bullying Displacement and Excuses, A Silent Voice, and the Encounter with Octopus Pierce

"?!"

Time seemed to stand still.

Marina Kirisaka couldn't understand why this new teacher, who was on Shizuka Kuze's side, would suddenly appear at her house and stand in front of her mother.

As for Kirisaka's mother, she thought of far more than her daughter in that instant, especially the fact that the family scandal had been seen by outsiders, by strangers.

The truth that she had been working so hard to keep from her neighbors and friends—that she could no longer hold onto her husband and that she was in such a pitiful state—was about to be exposed!

Each and every one of these matters was like a persistent, insidious infection, instantly entangling her heart and almost suffocating her.

But she soon had no time to think about these things.

With a crisp slap, Murasaka's mother, a tall and rather plump housewife who had gained weight in middle age, was knocked back. She covered her cheek where she had been hit and stared in shock at Yagami Takeshi.

"Mother--"

Marina Kirisaka's love for her mother is so profound that even though she was almost in danger just a moment ago, seeing her mother's fate, she still can't help but want to rush over to protect her.

But she was stopped by Ya's fierceness without saying a word.

"Let go of Marina!" Mother Kirisaka cried out, "Give Marina back to me! I only have Marina now! I only have my daughter now!!"

Marina's eyes lit up, and she murmured, her heart instantly warmed: "Mom..."

Since Dad cheated on her last year, it's been over a year now, and Mom hasn't said she loves her or how important she is to her.

Now, realizing for the first time that her mother still loves her, Marina Kirisaka is completely moved and wants to stand by her mother's side immediately.

"Enough with this farce!"

However, Yamamoto firmly restrained Kirisaka Marina, and instead of being moved by the scene, his face darkened, and he scolded the mother and daughter present.

"You only have your daughter now? If that's really what you think, then you wouldn't have done what you just did!"

Ya no Takeshi had a good idea of ​​what was going on: "Was it to cut through Marina's skin and flesh with glass? Or was it simply to slap her and beat her with his fists? Either way, this wasn't the first time he'd done it, was it?"

There is evidence to support this.

When he took the three children to the clinic earlier, the injuries that Marina Kirisaka had accumulated were not as many as those that Shizuka Kuze had, but they were still far greater than those that Ishida Shoya had inflicted on her that day.

Takeshi Ya remembered all those injuries. No one at school, whether students or teachers, bullied Marina Kirisaka, so these injuries could only have been caused by some thugs outside of school or by her guardian.

Now the truth is clear: all of this was caused by Kirara Saka's mother!

Upon being exposed for her actions, Kirisaka's mother's pupils dilated in shock. She hurriedly tried to deny it, saying, "No, no, I... I didn't mean to do that at all, I just—"

"Is it because you couldn't hold back? Is it because you were abused by your husband and needed an outlet? Is that what you really want to say?"

Yago Takeshi immediately laid out her excuses, "If you really value Marina that much, if you really love Marina that much, would you treat her as an object for your venting? Don't you think that's incredibly self-deceptive!"

Under Ya's relentless pressure, the string of lies in Murasaka's mother's mind snapped, causing her to stop deceiving herself and trying to justify herself. Instead, she roared, "—Who told her not to keep her father!"

“Mori Nai is my last treasure! Her father used to love her very much. He would usually calm down if I mentioned her, but why is it that for months now, no matter what I say about Mori Nai going to see that woman and not coming home, he still goes out!”

"What can I do? I'm at my wit's end. Even Marina can't keep him anymore. Marina and I are both going to be abandoned..."

Roaring in a fit of impotent rage, Mica Saka's mother stumbled and bumped her head against a cabinet behind her, falling to the ground with tears streaming down her face.

All the horrors have faded away, leaving only years of accumulated pessimism and despair, a vulnerability so palpable it's unbearable to look at.

She murmured, "What else can I do then..."

Perhaps she had given up all hope and was hoping that the stranger who suddenly appeared to protect her daughter would be as kind as he was to protect her.

But Yagami responded to her reaction with a stern rebuke: "Couldn't you have lived before you met your husband?"

"How can that be the same!" Mica Saka's mother looked up in horror. "I've already... I've already gotten used to it. I can't lose him!"

"Is it really impossible to lose him?" Takeshi Yagami pointed out the most crucial fact directly. "From last year until now, haven't you been losing him more and more every day? How many days has he actually spent at home this year? Isn't that already a form of leaving you?"

"But did you really die because of this, or that you couldn't go on living, couldn't make a living? Isn't the so-called inability to make a living just you fighting with yourself, trying to gain sympathy from your daughter, pretending to be a tragic heroine, and deceiving yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Yunmu Saka's mother became furious: "So you mean I deserve to have my husband stolen by another woman?"

"This is your idea."

"Then go and condemn my husband! Win him back from that other woman!"

"Because that's impossible."

Arrow's fierceness directly vetoed it.

Ultraman does indeed have many methods involving the mind. For example, during the Mebius era, Mefilas directly used his telekinesis to reverse the entire history of Earth, transforming all human perceptions into the view that "the Mefilas aliens have always been the protectors of Earth, and monsters and Ultraman are all villains who must be killed."

Even seasoned Ultra Warriors can employ this kind of tactic.

But if that were done, Ultraman would truly be an evil being that needs to be killed.

Without using these powers to forcibly distort the truth, Yato Takeshi acknowledges the fact that no matter how loving and patient one is, there will always be some people who are so stubborn that they cannot be persuaded or influenced.

This is not an excuse to give up on persuasion, but a fact. Just as no one can convince a Bodhidharma not to harm other planets and life.

Moreover, given that the affair has lasted for over a year, from Ya Toshiro's perspective, considering the timing and the content of the argument just now, there's no way to turn things back on.

The bond between Kirisaka's parents has been completely severed, and now Kirisaka's father only feels endless impatience towards Kirisaka's mother.

Conversely, Kirisaka's mother no longer loves her husband at all; all she feels towards him now is hatred, resentment, and guilt.

In other words, even if Kirara's father inexplicably abandons his affair and wholeheartedly returns to take care of the family, the family will still argue every day, only the person arguing will be Kirara's mother.

At that time, Yunmozaka's mother would nitpick and find fault every day because her husband had cheated on her. She would think every day, "I have been wronged by you, so no matter how I treat you now, it is what you should do."

If Marina Kirisaka had lived in that kind of family environment, her personality would only have been worse, more rotten and twisted, and it's possible that it wouldn't just be her mother beating her anymore, but her father would also beat her due to excessive pressure.

So from Yashiro's perspective, regarding this marriage and family that had become so corrupt that it was beyond description, he had only one attitude: "Get a divorce. Now you have no other choice but to take this path."

Kirisaka's mother retorted with hatred: "So you're saying I deserve to watch him live a carefree life? Me and Marina deserve to be abandoned?!"

“No such thing is true,” Yato Takeshi shook his head slightly. “He will be abandoned too, and that day won’t be too far away. The woman he’s having an affair with can’t stay with him for long. At most, they’ll get divorced after two years.”

Shizuka Kuze's mother was a hopelessly materialistic woman; there was no way to satisfy that kind of person.

If things go smoothly, it might only take six months to a year for that woman to divorce her father and then move on to her next target.

When the father of the Kirasaka family became deeply entangled in the mother's trap, there was really nothing left for the two families to salvage; they simply went their separate ways.

After divorcing her father, Kirasaka, Kuze's mother, now old and fading in beauty, will she be able to find her next prey?

Then nobody will know.

If she can't find it and can only struggle alone in fear and anxiety, Yato Takeshi won't sympathize with her at all. If Kuze's mother comes back to find Kuze Shizuka in the future and begs her for some money to support her in her old age, Yato Takeshi will only stop Shizuka from giving her money.

If you have the audacity to commit mistakes and sins, then you should take full responsibility for your actions.

Similarly, if Kuze's mother divorced him and his father, Kirasaka, wanted to return and remarry, Yato Takeshi would also oppose it.

After all, neither Kuze's mother nor Kirasaka's father acted without knowing anything; rather, they continued their actions knowing full well the negative impact their actions would have on others.

"And if you're still not satisfied with this, you can expose his affair with Kuze's mother to the media. If you want, I can do it for you. This kind of countermeasure is already quite equal."

When faced with Takeshi Yagami's suggestion, Kirisaka's mother remained silent.

She just kept looking miserable and pathetic, as if she wanted to write "I am the most pitiful person in the world" all over her face, and said sadly, "Then how are Morina and I supposed to live? Tell me."

“Live life as you normally would. If you think you can’t survive, that’s just a way of deceiving yourself.” Ya’s fierceness remained unwavering.

After reading about Kuze's parents' divorce case, he understood that, according to the laws and common rulings of this world, as the non-cheating party in the marriage and the one who would raise their daughter, Kirisaka's mother would receive more money each month than Kuze's mother.

That money is more than enough to support the mother and daughter's daily life and schooling, and the house will definitely be awarded to them.

There is no such thing as "not being able to survive".

Whether it's material or spiritual.

Many things are just Yunmozaka's mother lamenting and blaming herself, deceiving herself.

"And do you really intend to continue being so mournful?"

Ya De Meng cut to the chase, pointing out a fact directly: "I cannot know exactly how you two lived from the time you got married until your husband cheated on you, or whether the accusations he made against you during the argument were true, but I can tell you one thing clearly."

“In the early stages, before he completely cheated, the fact that you were able to keep him at home with the help of Marina means that he still had a lot of attachment and feelings for the family at that time. If you had done well then and seized that period of time, you could have completely won his heart back.”

"But you didn't. I'm just guessing, but I think you just used Marina to keep him here, and then you kept making sarcastic and critical remarks about him at home. From morning till night, without stopping, and even the next day it was still going on?"

"Even though you were indeed the victim at the time, since you reacted that way, you didn't really want to salvage the relationship or try to salvage it. You were just trying to vent your frustrations, weren't you? Don't you feel you bear any responsibility for the breakdown of this family?"

Clearly, Ya's guess was correct.

Upon hearing his speculations, Yunmu Saka's mother froze, not daring to refute them at all.

Despite guessing correctly, Yashiro shook his head sadly.

He would rather the truth wasn't like that.

Unfortunately, that's the truth.

This was a two-way operation by both husband and wife. Although the main responsibility lies with the husband, if Yunmu Saka's mother really wanted to win back her husband in the early stages, she couldn't possibly not know that what she did was absolutely wrong.

She certainly has the right and the status to criticize her husband who is on the verge of cheating, but she should know when to stop. After criticizing him, she should make him understand the meaning and importance of the family to him. Only then can she make him change his mind.

The mother, Yunmo Saka, only criticized her husband every day when they met. In that kind of atmosphere, not only could her husband not feel the goodness of the family, but he would also miss the other woman even more, because the other woman must have been very good to him before marriage.

But these are all domestic matters between husband and wife, which outsiders cannot fully understand. Therefore, Ya Demeng did not want to say much about it. After all, it is understandable that the wife feels wronged and keeps blaming her husband for cheating.

Moreover, it's impossible to force someone to suppress their grievances and make the most rational judgment when they feel insecure.

So what Yagami really wanted to say was not how Kirisaka's mother treated her husband, but the guilt she had committed against her daughter.

“You’ve been doing that all along, endlessly exploiting your husband’s love for the family and his feelings for your daughter, to the point that he’s now disgusted with Molina and has almost no affection left for his own daughter. That’s your fault.”

"You used your daughter as a gun, causing her to lose her father's love. Now you turn around and blame her, saying she's useless and couldn't keep her father. You even use this excuse to beat her year after year, venting your grievances on her?"

"As a wife, you are indeed pitiful and have suffered injustice; but as a mother, you are utterly repulsive!"

Ya's fierce rebuke clarified all the realities and logic, forcing Kirisaka's mother to stop making excuses for herself and forcing her to recognize the things she herself knew deep down.

As a fourth-grade elementary school student, Marina Kirisaka originally didn't understand these things, but now she understands them for the first time.
