Ito Yoshito: "Mrs. Takahara is such a gentle person—mature, insightful..." (Read)
Ito Yoshito: "What's up? Why are you asking this?" (Read)
Takahara Hazuki: "So, does Ito-oniichan think my mom is pretty?" (Read)
Ito Yoshito: "Of course! Mrs. Takahara is a very beautiful person!" (Read)
Takahara Hazuki: "Then... Ito-oniichan, do you... want to have my mom?" (Read)
A torrential rain poured down, with raindrops hammering the ground like bullets, producing a constant roar. Yet, to Ito Yoshito, it felt silent; he was stunned by Takahara Hazuki's shocking statement.
With pupils constricting, Ito Yoshito dumbfoundedly typed a reply.
Ito Yoshito: "Do you know what you're saying...?" (Read)
Takahara Hazuki did not respond to Ito Yoshito's question. Instead, she opened her phone's photo gallery and selected a picture... and sent it!
"Ding ding~"
The subject of the photo was none other than Takahara Hazuki herself. Although she was young, her petite and delicate figure already exhibited the remarkable genes of her mother. At such a young age, her frail frame had developed quite nicely, revealing smooth and fair skin. This was clearly a snapshot of Takahara Hazuki, and even more shocking was that the innocent-looking girl lay wrapped in the arms of a man—one Ito Yoshito recognized well: Mr. Takahara...!
Although Ito Yoshito was already aware of their sordid affair, he did not expect Takahara Hazuki to voluntarily share this with him. Under the flickering neon lights, Ito Yoshito's phone vibrated again.
"Ding ding~"
After the photo, another message came through—a screenshot of a chat between Takahara Hazuki and someone else.
Takahara Hazuki: "Ito-oniichan, this is a plan suggested by the old man next door. Using my photo... Mom, she... she will comply." (Read)
Ito Yoshito: "Haha, you really are a good daughter!" (Read)
Takahara Hazuki: "Please! Ito-oniichan~ I really like Otou-san... If it's you, I believe mom will be happy..." (Unread)

The rain gradually lessened, droplets falling like tiny needles to the ground, almost as if Heaven itself was mourning for Kasumi. But tears couldn't flow; they had long dried up.
"If Kasumi, knew that her daughter was selling her out for some so-called happiness, how heartbroken would she be..."
Watching the rain lessen, Ito Yoshito shook his head, picked up his umbrella, and stepped into the embrace of the rainy night.
The evening breeze, laden with rain's moisture, was cold and damp, tormenting passersby. Under the umbrella, Ito Yoshito traversed the vibrant, colorful streets, walking along the alleyways until he neared a small park.
"Tap tap tap~"
A hurried sound of feet splashing in the rain caught Ito Yoshito's attention.
Looking towards the side path, a familiar figure emerged, rushing through the rain, anxious to reach Ito Yoshito.
"Kasumi-neechan..." Ito Yoshito couldn't help but shout out, seeing the drenched Kasumi who had just finished work.
"Ah?" Hearing someone call her, Kasumi turned her head but didn't stop, tripping over a small stone and falling face-first into the mud.
"Ah...!"
"Kasumi-neechan!"
Ito Yoshito rushed toward Kasumi, "Are you okay?"
"Pain pain pain~~" Kasumi rubbed her knee and looked up, "Thank you, I'm fine, I'm fine. Ah! It's you, Yoshito!"
"It's me."
The black umbrella acted like another layer of night, shielding the two from the misty rain. Ito Yoshito offered his hand to help Kasumi up, noticing the torn black stockings around her delicate little feet, revealing skin that had reddened under the streetlight—she had scraped it.
"Kasumi-neechan, how could you be so careless!"
"Ugh~~ I'm sorry, I didn't mean to embarrass you, Yoshito..." Kasumi felt shameful for stumbling in front of the boy she cared for.
However, she momentarily forgot that her hand, which had supported her fall, was now caked in mud. As she covered her face, she felt the cold mud spreading over her cheeks and looked down at her dirty hand, letting out a small yelp.
"Ah!!"
Seeing Kasumi's dazed expression, Ito Yoshito sighed helplessly and reached out to gently wipe the dirt from her face. Perhaps it was Kasumi's naive nature that had allowed Hazuki and her friends to pick on her.
Gently scrubbing off the mud, Ito Yoshito said with pity, "Let's go home, Kasumi-neechan."
"Mm..." Looking up at him, her alluring eyes slightly squinted, Kasumi softly replied, longing for the tenderness she couldn't find at home.
Small raindrops fell, hitting the leaves, producing a soft rustling sound like the echoes of a storm, gentle and soothing.
Since Kasumi had just run back in the light rain, her skin felt chilly against the moist air. She instinctively moved closer to the warm boy beside her, greedily absorbing the warmth radiating from Ito Yoshito.
"Thump thump..."
That silent tenderness felt like a faint flame flickering in the abyss, reigniting the warmth inside Kasumi, gradually warming her cold body.
A spark of light returned to Kasumi's gaze as she watched Ito Yoshito. She whispered softly, "Yoshito..."
"Mm! I'm here."
"Yoshito... Do you think I'm a terrible mother?"
"If you were really terrible, how could I ever like you?"
With gentle exertion, Ito Yoshito leaned closer, his forehead touching Kasumi's and their noses almost meeting, his eyes fixed on hers.
Feeling the warmth from the boy next door, Kasumi's once fragmented heart felt as though it was knitting back together under his tenderness.
However... her heart, once whole, had now changed; it was now filled only with thoughts of Ito Yoshito.
A sweet feeling bubbled up from within. Kasumi couldn't help but smile once more; the dim bathroom appeared to brighten because of her beaming smile post-rain. Her eyes crescented like the moon, still glistening with the remnants of dried tears.
"Yoshito~!"
"I'm here."
"Let me be your lover!"
"Hmm?"
"Mm~!!!"
Ito Yoshito was momentarily shocked, his eyes wide as he gazed at her, taken aback.
"Since they all want me to be like this, then I will fulfill their wishes. Moreover..." Her beautiful eyes trembled slightly; though her complexion was pale, the flush accentuated her vulnerable allure, "I also want to completely become Yoshito's woman~"
