Chapter 28 Ayano-never-an-Aishi - Yudasei: A Talk with Joho Teikyosha.
That dream was really concerning. I dreamt that I went to the basement and hindered Mother at hurting father… She would not do something like—fuckfuck now I remember,….oh no…
I go a hunch what the dream was about and grabbed one of the occult books I have.
OH SHIT.
I know what had happened.
I must have been an Ikiyrou that night, because I held sufficient grudge against HER and tried to help father. So if the emotions are strong enough your soul will leave your body and your Ikiyrou form will wander around and do things related to those emotions, usually bad things…
Now I needed to stabilize my emotions, so this will not happen again. This is serious and could lead to unwarranted trouble.
Hah, stabilize my emotions, my ass! How am I supposed to do this! Look at what a mess I am! I'm too angry and scared right now…
Anyway, off to school. I did not offer HER a glance. I had packed some of my food and left quickly, to be away from her…
At school I could no concentrate and people were looking at me and always let me pass in the hallways. Were they afraid?
Ugh, I need to get something to do about this…
When I walked through hallways I bumped into somebody. I felt my temper flare and wanted to shout at whoever that was "Back off!", but I saw who it was. It was Joho Teikyosha.
"Hello. What is?"
"Ayano Aish-"
"DONT CALL ME LIKE THAT!"
…
Joho Teikyosha looked at me thoughtfully and smirked her disgusting smirk again. Still better than the "smile" of HER. Arrgh, what is this, I don´t like this at all, leave me alone, why must you out of all people pester me…
"You dislike being called an Ais-"
"Yes! Exactly! Now get to the point, I have urgent business to attend to!"
Joho Teikyosha cleared her throat and looked at me seriously. Ugh this feels uncomfortable.
"I know something about your Mother. We should discuss this in private."
I felt my anger rise.
"Don't. Ever. Tell. Anyone. Understood?"
„I do."
„Good. Now off to the place you want to go."
We went to the newspaper room. It was empty and Joho Teikyosha locked all the doors. I doubt that she would try to kill me or anything like that, because she knows about my strength, after all the whole Akademi knows it. Also she does not own guns or anything like that.
Joho Teikyosha told me her story. She is the daughter of the Journalist wo sent Ryoba Aishi to the murder trial and failed to convince the Judges and public of her guilt. Then he was ridiculed and got depressed, did not find much work and everyone shunned him. The he met a red haired woman who loved him, and bore him a child and died of blood loss soon afterwards.
The Journalist was unable to care for himself that well, and for his child even less, so she had to survive on her own. I could hear from Joho Teikyosha´s voice, that it hurt her, even if she would not like to hear that
She knows that it was Ryoba Aishi who ruined the life of her father and by extension her herself, and knows that I am unhappy too. So our goal is the same - to make Ryoba pay
I just told her that I had my source from which I know that Ryoba Aishi really "unlived" people.
And I told her that I would like to be free of her, but stooping to her level would do much harm, and there should be non-lethal methods for it. I can't kinslay.
She scoffed and told me that in real life ideal outcomes are very rare-
I interrupted her. You don´t want to become like HER, do you?
She was silent for a while and said that she had a plan. She knows about Ryoba´s Behaviours, and baiting her with perceived threats could be easy, but riskier than eliminating her outright and dangerous for all people involved.
The plan sounded good enough, I would be content with any somewhat reasonable plan to be free from HER , so we would initiate it in the afternoon, when SHE comes back from work.
