Part 4: Too Bad


Mio's POV

"Momma will come for you in a few hours, baby. You know how it goes." Risa was about to cry already even though we went through this, every day for years. She was quite clingy.

"See, it's your favourite toy," I stated while I hooked my locket around her neck and she stopped sniffling curtly. However, it would only hold her for a while, so I must drop by before lunch.

"Well, girlfriend, how does it go with you and your beloved Kai yesterday, mm?" Hana chimed in chirpily while I narrowed my eyes at her on impulse. She was responsible for day nursery.

"I honestly could interrogate you last night but I know you're busy with Rie," she went on and on while I rolled my eyes in return. "We only went out for two hours at most," I retorted sternly.

"But I don't really care about us right now," I added. "Instead, I wonder if I should bring Risa to a child expert or something – she's too clingy for a 3-year-old. Is it my fault?" I deliberated.


Ritsu's POV

"Welcome, Mrs. Kotobuki, I wish you'll find it worthwhile to be here." I smiled while I looked around my surrounding. It was a bit shabby and all but it had a welcoming atmosphere. "I already am."

"This kindergarten is adjoined to a home for homeless and neglected children. So you might meet some adult ones," she exclaimed while I followed – I kind of loved this joint.

"Thanks for having me, Mrs. Teiko, but may I travel around this building on my own? I don't want these children to feel troubled of my presence here," I asked politely and she smiled simultaneously.

"Yes, Mrs. Kotobuki, indeed. You can pop up any question to our staffs and they'll help you out," she bowed curtly before she left me soon after. Do you like children? I smiled at the memory.

Our days were always wasted in the playground near her house because she loved to watch the kids so much. Too bad. I want three, at least. I had reasons to say what I said back then.
