Chapter 1: Act 6: Scene 5


 * While approaching Oyuka’s hairpin shop, Kayo saw prior visitors were already there.
 * Upon seeing the figure, she suddenly hid herself in the shadows.
 * Leaning forward just a touch from there, she began secretly observing the clients.
 * --The couple expressing their appreciation to each other.
 * Kai: “You like it?”
 * The man speaking to the other. Blue hair. Slit eyes. And a burn on his left hand.
 * It was the man of the Miroku family, the one known as Kai.
 * Compared to how he looked before, he seemed considerably emaciated. His cheeks slim, blood vessels standing out along his arms, it didn’t look like you could call him incredibly healthy.
 * Rin: “…… Uh-huh.”
 * Less talkative, the girl looking at the hairpin he ordered was Kai’s daughter and the dead Miku’s little sister, Rin.
 * In fact, after Miku’s death, she disappeared from Enbizaka for a while.
 * To heal from the emotional scars she suffered from her mother and sister’s deaths, she had apparently rested at their father’s hometown in the land of Amayomi.
 * Apparently she returned just today and had come to see her father again for the first time in a long time.
 * Rin: “Uhhhh…… here.”
 * Before long, Rin took a hairpin.
 * It was a rich yellow, a rather cute hairpin.
 * Kai: “I see, so you like that one? In that case—Madam, I’ll take one of these.”
 * Kai removed some copper coins from the purse he had and offered them to Oyuka.
 * Oyuka: “Anytime!”
 * Oyuka answered in high spirits, taking the coins.
 * Oyuka: “Would you like me to wrap it up or put it in your hair?”
 * Kai: “That’s right…… how about it, Rin?”
 * He asked her.
 * Rin: “Hmm…… uhhh, put it on.”
 * Hearing that, Okyuka beckoned her over.
 * Oyuka: “I see. Come over here then, young miss. Your big sis will put it in.”
 * Rin: “Thanks, granny.”
 * Oyuka: “……”
 * Rin: “……?”
 * Oyuka: “……”
 * Rin: “…… T-Thanks, big sis!”
 * Oyuka: “Right! Now come over here!!”
 * Rin rushed over to Oyuka.
 * Oyuka: “Incidentally, did you trim your pretty hair?”
 * Oyuka sat rin before a mirror.
 * While looking at the situation, Kai spoke to Rin.
 * Kai: “So how was life at Amayomi? Was it fun?”
 * Rin: “Yeah. Gramps was real nice and I was able to make friends. It’s nice place, though a little cold.”
 * Kai: “Well good…… Although you’ll be going back in the next week or so…….”
 * Rin: “…… Yeah.”
 * Oyuka: “Well just take it easy. By spring-time next year, I’ll be closing up shop and heading up there too.”
 * Rin: “…… Kay, I’ll be waiting.”
 * It looked like a parent-child conversation to the casual observer. The father simply bought his daughter a hairpin.
 * …… But, for Kayo who observed them from the shadows, it may have appeared otherwise.
 * Oyuka: “All right, I’m done!Yep, you’ve become a fine woman, young miss.”
 * Oyuka put her hands on Rin’s shoulders.
 * Rin looked at herself in the mirror and seemed a little entranced now.
 * Rin: “…… How is it?”
 * Rin turned toward her father.
 * Kai: “Yeah, I think it looks good. But that hairpin suits someone with a bit more of a grown up kimono. I’ll choose a good one for you once we get back.”
 * Rin: “Really? Heheheh.”
 * Overjoyed, Rin made a beautiful smile.
 * Kai: “Now, let’s get home soon.”
 * Kai and Rin left the shop, walking to the Miroku Shop hand-in-hand.
 * Oyuka: “Thank you so muuuuch!”
 * Oyuka gave them a high-spirited send-off.
 * --Kayo was already nowhere to be seen.
