Chapter 9: 9

“As I was thinking Kaede lives in such a nice house, it turns out that it’s her boyfriend’s house….”

“He’s not my boyfriend…”

“Well, it doesn’t matter, but it’s your first job, so be happy.”

Kaede’s father then pulled on Kaede’s arm and tried to force her to go with him.

Kaede also resisted, but was dragged away.

He must be gripping it strongly, as I could see Kaede’s white skin turning red.

“NO, NO, NO, I Don’t Want To!”

“AH? What did you just say! COME HERE!”

Seeing Kaede’s father pulling her away, for some reason, I grabbed her father’s hand.

I just couldn’t leave Kaede alone, who looked like she was in pain. And I thought it was dangerous to give Kaede to such a father.

“Ah, what?”

“Umm, She doesn’t like it, So I think you should stop.”

“Shut up, Outsider!”

The man said this and shook off my hand. Then he looked at Kaede again.

He was not interested in me, or rather, he thinks I don’t exist.

“Have you forgotten how much you owe me for raising you since you were five years old?”

“I-I’m grateful for that.”

“Then sell your body for me.”

“I absolutely hate that.”

“I don’t care how you feel.”

Kaede’s face was full of negative emotions such as pain, suffering, and sadness.

Her own father tried to force her to sell her body, spent all the money, and treated her like a tool.

That’s why she had such despair in her eyes, and that’s why someone had to support her.

Then again, Kaede looked back at me when she was being pulled and had a look on her face asking for help.

The moment I saw that, my body was moving reflexively.

“W-WHAT THE H**L ARE YOU DOING!” He screamed,

“Let her go… Sell her body? That’s what you want your OWN CHILD to do!”

“I’m sorry, if you’re going to hate us, blame the environment we were born into.”

The moment I heard that, I let my anger take over. I thought, “No, I shouldn’t do that”. But I couldn’t stop. I reached out and grabbed the man by the chest.

I gripped him so hard, so tightly that I almost tore his clothes off.

“Children don’t get to choose their parents! And you are telling me to blame the enviroment they were born into? Don’t be ridiculous!”

“Get the f**k off me! You brat!”

By the time he said that, I had already received a full-on punch on my right cheek.

The taste of blood was in my mouth. I must have cut the inside of my mouth when I was hit.

But this much pain was bearable. I knew that Kaede was the one who was really in pain.

“Hayasaka-kun! Father! Please stop it!”

“Then get your a*s over here, I hear they’re willing to pay 200,000 yen for you.”

I felt nauseous when I saw the man laughing so high and mighty. Kaede also looked at such a parent with disdain.

The man did not like the look in her eyes and became even angrier. The next thing I knew, he was pulling Kaede’s hair.

I lost my patience, took out an envelope, containing my secret savings, with just 200,000 in it from the cabinet and hurled it at the guy’s head.

“What the h**l is this …?”

“Inside is a little over 200,000 that I saved from my part-time job, and you have to promise me that you will never visit her again.”

The man checked the contents and looked at me condescendingly, as if mocking me.

I knew this kind of guy, the look in his eyes at that time. The guy’s eyes at that time looked just like that woman’s, my ex-girlfriend.

That’s why it made me even more angry and sick.

“You think this is enough? You little s**t.”

“If it’s not enough, I’ll have to call the cops on you. I’d appreciate it if you’d take it and stay away from her for the rest of your life.”

I pointed to my phone on the shelf at the guy who was laughing and saying that there was no way he was going to get in trouble with the police.

When I told him that I had been recording from the beginning, he changed his attitude.

“Tch… 200,000, hey kid, if you hand that over to the police, I’ll chase you and Kaede wherever you go and kill you. I’ve already decided that.”

“If you keep your word, I won’t.”

The man laughed as he said we have a deal.

“Are you sure? Spending 200,000 on this girl is not worth it.”

I really, really wanted to punch this guy..

I desperately endured the man’s aggressive tone, thinking it was for Kaede’s sake.

Then the man suddenly began to speak.

“Let me tell you why this girl is worthless, she is a person that no one needed and we would have been happier if she had never been born!”

(T/N: The anger I feel right now, would have killed this dude)

“Eh…”

Kaede’s voice faded away.

“That’s not true!” I screamed,

“Let me tell you, your mother was actually divorced before you were born.”

I was shocked. I couldn’t believe they were divorced before Kaede was born. …

Kaede, who heard this, was also trembling and biting her lip as hard as she could. It was a strong indication that she wanted to cry, but she refused to do so.

But the man did not stop talking. He was talking, happily, as if he knew Kaede was going to suffer.

“Your mother said that too, right? When she left me, and before you were born…”

“STOP IT! You son of a b***h! No more …”

“I’m sorry…! Hahahaha, because you were born, mine, her’s, and everyone else’s life became miserable!” 

Those were the most painful words for Kaede. She thought that her mother was the only one who was on her side, but she must have felt that even her mother was denying her existence.

I grabbed the guy by the chest again and pulled him up against the wall. I knew that if I let him and Kaede meet, it would destroy Kaede.

“Kaede! Don’t believe a word he says! He’s not your parent!”

“No, you’re wrong! She is my child, born from my sperm!”

At that time, a dam of unbearable tears broke from Kaede’s eyes.

She was crying raggedly. She ran while crying. She ran out of my house at full speed.

“Tch, so boring. Let go of me.”

“You said earlier that she isn’t worth 200,000.”

“Oh, yeah? What does it matter?”

“She’s worth more than 200,000, no, it cannot be expressed in money.”

The man got into his car, which was parked outside.

Looking outside, I saw that my earlier prediction had come true, and it was raining quite hard.

She ran alone through this. Unable to leave Kaede alone and without an umbrella, I immediately ran out of the house as well.

Dark and cold, like Kaede’s heart, the rain continued to fall.
