We seen Hiroki and Miyuki travelling in a car towards a mountain. Miyuki is the one who is driving and Hiroki is sitting on the backseat simply looking out of the car window.
"It's a really long time when we last came here, right Hiroki?" Miyuki said.
"Yes, mom. It's been a really long time." Hiroki replied still looking at nothingness out of the window.
A while ago
Miyuki is siting on the couch still trying to comprehend the truth, Hiroki revealed. She never thought her little boy can plan something so dangerous and cruel, but she knew, he was never like that it's the betrayal that changed him. Make him a completely different person.
Hiroki came out from the Kitchen with some green tea and hand over it to Miyuki then sit in front of her.
"So, what's next Hiroki? What did you planned to do next and how can I help you in that?" Miyuki asks, Hiroki remains silent for some time then speaks.
"If you want to help me, mom. Please go back." Miyuki got shocked hearing this the cup of green tea slips from her grip and got broken by the impact spilling all the content in the floor. Miyuki lunged towards Hiroki and grabbed him by his shoulders.
"I am not going anywhere, you heard me. I am not leaving you alone anymore!!" Miyuki shouts while still grabbing his shoulders.
"Mom, I knew you want to be my strength but you are also my sole weakness, they can use you against me. You are too emotional and you will not be able to follow my plan like this." Miyuki grips loosen on Hiroki grip. She knew it that she can't fight them all alone, she knew that if Kanoko didn't helped her and took Kaede side, she would be beaten by those two.
"I.. I just want to help you, I don't want to leave you alone again." Hiroki hugged her.
" Mom, you can support me by California too but if you stay here. It will become hard for me to run my plan like this." Tears begins to come down, Miyuki's eyes. She hugged Hiroki and starts crying.
After a while, Miyuki calms down.
"Okay, I will go back but before that can we visit that place?"
"Which place, you are talking about?"
"Don't lie, Hiroki. You knew it, which place I am talking about."
"Fine, Mom. We will go."
Flashback ends
Miyuki and Hiroki is climbing the stairs to the top of a mountain. There are overgrown bushes and trees around it. Bugs sounds is everywhere. It's like no one visit this place in years. At the top of the mountain there is a little shrine that is broken from so many places. There webs on every corner. Clearly stating that there is no one to take care of it.
"Well, I expected it to be like this. Looks like no one cares about this place anymore." Miyuki said and bows before passing the tori gate, Hiroki did the same. She went towards the purification pavilion but the water is not coming out of it.
"Well, I knew this will happen too." She took out a water bottle and clean her hands and feet and tossed the bottle to Hiroki, he did the same and follows her inside the main hall. That have webs in every corner, Termites eats the woods at many places, dust is covered all over it.
"We need to clean it first." Miyuki said and took out two dusters from her bag and tossed one towards Hiroki.
"You will help me, right?"
"..." Hiroki starts to clean the main hall without saying anything. Miyuki smiles a little.
"Good boy" Then she starts cleaning too.
After a while
Miyuki and Hiroki stand in the middle of the main hall. Admiring the main hall now it's clean.
"Now, it's good or I can say better than before." AS per their tradition both of them bows two times, then claps two time and bows again.
" It's your father's favourite place."
"Yes, I knew."
"Every time, he needs some time alone or depressed he came here and spends his time here."
"I know." Hiroki said with the same emotionless tone.
" And... It's the very first place, where he met your mother, I clearly remembers how he told me about her when he comes home, he was blushing while speaking and talking so fast." Miyuki smiles a little but her smiles disappeared soon.
"And that same woman betrays him and his son after his death." Miyuki clenched fist in anger but she let it go after she realised why she came here for. She knee down in front of Hiroki and grab his hand while directly looking at his eyes that is like a calm ocean but too calm and still. There not a single wave of emotion in it.
"Hiroki, what I want to tell you is that you shouldn't burden yourself with all this. Let me handle it, I will help you and bring justice to all of them. Not just your guardian but as your father's sister too. This is my responsibility, I promised him, I promised my brother."Miyuki said her eyes full of tears.
" Mom, I knew you want to save me but I'm enough to do this and don't you remember, I promised to protect you too. You need to go and don't stress I will not be a fool to risk myself." Hiroki hugged her and she hugs her back.
'This is the first time I lied to her. but it's necessary.' Hiroki thought.
After a while
They went back to their car that is parked in the bottom of the mountain.
"Hiroki, if my brother was alive he would never let that happened to you." Miyuki said and starts the car engine.
'I knew Mom, he would never let that happen but then I could never become who I am right now.'
*ring*
A notification comes on Hiroki phone. Hiroki sees it.
'Finally.'
"What happened, Hiroki? Who texted you?" Miyuki asks while driving the car.
" Nothing, mom. Just some ads." Hiroki put his phone back on his pocket.
Notification : Senpai, you are right. Mary senpai is completely changed I will do as you said.
