Beichuan Si began to speak.
This was the information he had obtained from Gangye Yoshiko about Inuzuka Youka.
"...That's right," Inuzuka Youka said, anger and sorrow surfacing in her eyes, "after my father died, I was left with only my grandparents... That was also a nice time, but my grandparents were already in poor health, having fallen ill from laboring in the fields, and so, they too died not long after."
"And it was during that time—my biological mother showed up..."
Inuzuka Youka clenched her fists.
This time, Beichuan Si did not interrupt her and just quietly watched Inuzuka Youka.
After leaving Youka's father, Inuzuka Youka's mother had actually married another man.
And that man was now the father of Inuzuka Youka and Inuzuka Shintaro.
That man adopted Hayakawa Youxiang and changed her name to Inuzuka Youka.
