Aragaki focused his attention on the black samurai sword hanging on the wall.
"That—Nanami."
"First of all, I need to express my apologies for the surveillance I have done on you recently."
Nanami bent her body to 90 degrees, and everything that happened before her eyes was completely unexpected.
"Eh?"
Chapter 73 The Gangster's Daughter
"Surveillance...work?"
"Mr. Aragaki...what does this mean..."
Mr. Aragaki, who bent his waist to 90 degrees and apologized sincerely, gave Nanami Wenren a sense of illusion that was not reality.
Why did Mr. Aragaki apologize?
And what is surveillance?
Feeling a serious sense of disharmony, Nanami began to doubt the authenticity of reality.
"Although I don't want to worry too much about Arisu, I am really worried about her living with a strange man."
"But fortunately, Nanami is not the kind of person I imagined. So I can rest assured to entrust Arisu to you."
Aragaki, who had a serious expression on his face, didn't seem to be joking at all.
Besides, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would joke.
Nanami sat down, and the teacup filled with tea was gently placed in front of him.
Look at the face reflected in the tea.
"Mr. Aragaki...are you a police officer?"
"Police... I'm not that kind of trouble."
"Then... why? Surveillance? Normal people can't do such a thing, right?"
"Well...about my identity...Nanami can be understood as...an organization like the Mafia, but that was only in the past."
Aragaki narrated in a flat tone, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
mafia......
Mr. Aragaki?
The image of always wearing a black yukata really fits the first impression of the mafia, but... the other party suddenly revealed his identity.
What exactly is the purpose?
Nanami raised her face and kept looking straight ahead.
"Mr. Aragaki...are you still monitoring me?"
The other party responded naturally.
"No, the surveillance work was completed long before Nanami moved."
"That's amazing, I didn't even notice it."
"If it can be easily detected, it can't be called 'surveillance', right?"
When it comes to defending himself, Mr. Aragaki's personality is no different from that of Mr. Arisu, and a casual remark from him can make it impossible to refute.
Nanami reached out and held the teacup, and the tea began to shake gently under the force.
"Mr. Aragaki, you didn't ask me to come here just for some boring thing like an apology, right?"
"Indeed."
"Is it something related to Arisu?"
The other party's silence further confirmed Nanami's inner thoughts.
"Since Mr. Aragaki has no intention of speaking, as her roommate, I have some questions for you that I must know."
Also respond with the default approach.
In this case, there is no need to hide it from the other party.
The Nanami teacup was placed on the table, and the bottom made a dull sound when touched.
"I have never understood. If Mr. Aragaki wants to care about Arisu, why doesn't he explain it to her face to face? Isn't it a bit too troublesome to use this method?"
Facing Nanami's stern questions.
Aragaki kept his face lowered.
"If leaving an important person makes the person feel unacceptable, on the contrary, leaving someone you hate will only make the person feel indifferent, and even feel fortunate."
"I want Arisu to hate me, so that when I leave, she won't always care about these things as if she had lost her mother."
leave......
After hearing what Aragaki said, Nanami thought of an extremely disturbing aspect.
The reason why Arisu was so disgusted by everything Aragaki did was, could it be because—
"I have only three months left to live."
Speaking directly from the heart, Aragaki's calm tone seemed as if he was just talking about something that didn't need any attention at all.
"In order to prevent Arisu from being as grief-stricken as before after she leaves, as a father, I have no choice but to do all this. I don't want my departure to be a burden to her, so I gave up meaningless treatment when I was diagnosed with the disease several years ago. I want my daughter to hate me and want to leave this family urgently. In order to not be a burden to her life after I leave, this is the only way I can do with all my efforts."
"I don't want the answer I've been hiding to be exposed to Arisu, so please, I've done everything I can, and from now on Arisu's life will be handed over to Nanami."
----------
Coming out of the Aragaki family's home, the clear Tokyo sky made me feel like every pore in my body was absorbing the heat from all around.
The feeling of being in a steamer is really uncomfortable.
Nanami followed the crowd into the subway station.
While waiting for the subway, he noticed an unread message from Arisu.
[Nanami hasn't come back yet? Are you with another girl?]
...There's a misunderstanding.
Nanami gave a helpless smile.
[We are on the way now. We will be home in about half an hour.]
[It took two hours just to develop the photos. Doesn’t Nanami think this lie is a bit too hypocritical?]
......
The edited message was not sent.
After thinking for a moment, she deleted all of them, tapped the broken phone screen, and said "I understand" with a calm expression.
The whereabouts of Nanami have been roughly figured out.
Why would he want to go to that place?
What exactly did he talk about with his father?
——There are so many aspects to face that every minute spent at home becomes extremely difficult.
Arisu looked outside where footsteps were coming from.
The sound of the key being inserted into the lock rang in my ears.
...is back.
The door is opened.
The familiar figure that appeared in my sight was clearly the same as usual, but I gradually developed a feeling of disgust towards him.
I clearly said before that I don’t like lying.
Now he can tell lies without hesitation.
fraud......
fraud......
There were obvious marks on the palm of the hand due to the force exerted by the fingertips.
The pain spreads along the nerves throughout the body.
"Arisu, um - there is something I must explain to you. I went to your house while developing photos."
Nanami's words made Arisu look up and let out an "eh" sound in surprise.
"Well... I talked to Mr. Aragaki about many things, including Arisu."
Nanami put her suit aside, walked over to Arisu and placed her palms against his head.
"I'm not a very outstanding person, but I've always been taken care of by Arisu. I'm very happy, so please continue to work hard in the future."
When Nanami saw Arisu gradually raise her slightly red cheeks and tap her chin, a feeling of relief suddenly appeared in her eyes.
Really.
The terrifying "probability event" actually happened to Arisu-san.
[If you don’t tell the truth, the chances of you being treated cruelly are 100%]
Chapter 74 It's OK, if it's Nanami
The bedding that had been hanging out to dry for a whole day was spread out again in the middle of the corridor connecting the living room and the bedroom.
Nanami's face, as she was conscientiously tidying up the bedding, was reflected in Arisu Sato's purple pupils.
We just enjoyed one night together, and then we have to separate again.
unhappy.
"By the way - does Arisu like taking selfies?"
