Chapter 181 One Hundred and Seventy-Nine Big Girl (Additional Update)
"She cooperated with us in doing many physical examinations for this matter." Masamune Tachibana said: "Everything is clearly planned, but spring break is about to start, and she hasn't had a chance to go to school yet. I'm afraid she won't be able to hold it in. Run out by yourself. If she wants to leave, we can't stop her at all, but the problem is that it's a mess outside now, and I'm really afraid that something will happen to her over there."
"But the current situation is indeed not suitable for her to go out." Yuan Zhisheng shook his head.
Japanese high schools are divided into three semesters. The first semester usually starts on April 8th. After July 20th, summer vacation begins. Because different schools have different days of vacation.
School will start on September 1st, and the second semester will end before December 25th, followed by a two-week winter vacation.
The third semester starts around January 7th, and ends around March 20th, then spring break starts on April 7th.
It was originally expected that Eriki would try to go to school in the third semester, that is, on January 7th, but now it is March, and spring break is about to begin, and Eriki's study plan has not yet been settled.
It took 2 months, which is not too short.
It's like a parent promising their child that as long as she behaves, she will be taken to an amusement park.
She endured the pain during the blood draw, worked hard to cooperate with the physical examination, and happily wrote down her plan in a small notebook. Finally, when the agreed date came, her promise was cancelled.
It would be a lie to say that she is not disappointed, and because of work, the opportunities to take her out to eat have become less and less recently. I don’t know how much grievance she is holding in her heart.
Minamoto sighed. Unknowingly, he seemed to owe Eri a lot. Not only this time, he failed to do many of the things he had promised her.
"We all know that it's not the right time for her to go out now, but it doesn't mean that if we want her not to go out, she won't go out." Masamune Tachibana whispered: "In the past, she still had a sense of fear of the outside world, so she left home The furthest she can run away is to the crossroads outside the building. She will come back on her own without our calling, but Zhisheng, do you think she still maintains this sense of fear?"
"This" Yuan Zhisheng was immediately speechless.
He thought about Eriki's eyes that were gradually becoming more alert, and suddenly realized that it had been a long time since he had seen her sitting by the window when she went out to eat, staring blankly at the traffic with lights on on the road.
At that time, she was always far away from the window, watching the car lights coming and going at night. She often stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to touch the black glass curtain wall, but she was always separated by the air, as if there was a transparent sheet there. A barrier separated her.
Those rose-colored eyes reflected the illusory world.
But the last time she went there, she just held her mobile phone and pressed her fingers on it, or sat next to Yuan Zhisheng, her brother, and shared the things that made her happy.
Is she still afraid of the world now?
Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but wonder, maybe not?
There was more curiosity and expectation in her eyes. The Internet allowed her to see the outside scenery.
In the past, she felt scared because she knew nothing about anything outside. She had never seen it with her own eyes, and no one had ever told her how pleasant it was to walk in a sunny park.
Probably because she made friends online, she became bolder.
Looking at it this way, if Eriki is going to run away from home this time, she probably won't just come back to the crossroads.
Perhaps it was because Eriki's late puberty had arrived, that Minamoto Chisheng found that he could no longer guess his sister's thoughts as before, and he could no longer be sure of what his sister would do next.
The girl seems to be growing up little by little.
"Then dad, what do you think we should do?" Yuan Zhisheng looked over.
When faced with a decision, he would always refer to Tachibana Masamune's opinion.
"I was just worried about this, so I just went to her room and took a look." Masamune Tachibana said quietly, "What do you think she was looking at?"
"What is she looking at?" Yuan Zhisheng took a breath.
"Introduction to Famous Attractions in Tokyo" on the website." Tachibana Masamune looked over and looked at Minamoto Chisheng: "You should know what this means. This kid rarely has a plan when doing something. He always thinks of something. What are you doing? There is almost no warning every time she runs away from home, but this time, she is actually planning carefully, and she just closed the webpage when she heard my knock on the door. I still go through Kaguya's side. I only found out about this through the browser logs, and she was making her travel plans without telling us.”
"She has really grown up a lot." Yuan Zhisheng held back a sentence.
"She has been a big girl for a long time. It is normal for big girls to have their own ideas." Tachibana Masamune said.
"Let me go talk to her. It's too dangerous to let her run out during this period." Yuan Zhisheng sat up from the sofa.
"Don't be impatient yet, childish." Masamune Tachibana stopped him, "You haven't been a father yet, so you don't know what to do at a time like this. Children all have a rebellious mentality. The more you tell her not to do anything, The more she doesn’t want to hear it, especially since we already promised her something, if you try to persuade her like this, it will only make her very unhappy.”
"But... should we just let her run away from home like this?" Yuan Zhisheng asked anxiously.
"There is a myth in China called 'Dayu controlled the floods'. It is better to block the floods than to dredge them up. Controlling the floods by blocking them only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. The stagnant water will eventually break through the dam one day. We must find a way to let the child's emotions out. That’s all.”
"What does dad mean?"
"It's better to let her go to school and keep her within our sight, so that at least she is controllable to us. Otherwise, if she sneaks out one day when we are not paying attention, no one knows what will happen to her. What kind of trouble could happen?"
"But in this form outside, we have been putting frequent pressure on the Oni people recently. If she goes out, she is likely to be targeted by the Oni people. The Oni people don't know how special Eri's existence is. Even if she goes out, she will be targeted by the Oni people. Within the Sheqi Ba family, only a small number of people know about her, and if the other party wants to take her as a hostage, it will be over."
"I know that if she loses control, the whole of Tokyo will be destroyed by her, but she stays in the house because she is obedient, not because we can lock her up. Instead of preventing her from running away day and night, it is better to give her Arrange a bodyguard team.”
Speaking of this, Tachibana Masamune's phone suddenly rang, and Minamoto Zhisheng's phone also rang.
Tachibana Masamune's caller number showed "Inuyama Family", while Minamoto Chisao's caller name was "Crow".
"Crow? Aren't he and the head of the Inuyama family receiving Lu Mingfei and his friends?" Yuan Zhisheng frowned and answered the phone.
