Chapter 1: Act 5: Scene 6


 * A few days later, Uibee visited the Miroku Shop again.
 * Uibee: "...... Have you calmed down a little, Miroku seller."
 * With a grim look, Uibee said those caring words to Kai.
 * Kai: "Yes...... thanks to you, I've recovered somewhat. We can't go without eating, so I haven't broke down too much."
 * Uibee: "That's right. You still have your young daughter. How is the child?"
 * Kai: "Terrible, she's been crying a lot. Rin loved her sister."
 * Uibee: "I see. Well, you can buy her things in your spare time to comfort her."
 * Kai: "Yeah."
 * Uibee: "So then."
 * Uibee turned around in front of Kai and straightened his posture.
 * Uibee: "There's something I want to hear from you."
 * Kai: "If it'll catch the criminal who killed those two, I'll tell you anything."
 * Uibee: "With respect to your daughter, Miku--is there anything you're not telling me?"
 * Kai: "No...... not at all."
 * Uibee: Such as...... your daughter being pregnant with child?"
 * Kai: "......!"
 * Uibee: "The day before Miku was killed, you two had a huge fight about it. Right in the middle of traffic before Twin Mirror Bridge. A lot of people witnessed it. You can't evade it.
 * With a downcast face, Kai answered while his shoulders trembled.
 * Kai: "...... You're absolutely right. I heard she was pregnant with Kiji's child, lost my temper and  yelled in a rage...... but, that's not any reason for me to kill my daughter!"
 * Uibee: "No, I'm not really saying you're the culprit..... but, Miku definitely returned late that night. That day, Miku went to take an order at the Freezis Trading House; that was before evening...... Well, I guess it was difficult coming home."
 * Kai: "...... Damn it!!"
 * Kai swung his fist at the tatami.
 * Kai: "Why did I have..... to quarrel with her that day......."
 * Uibee: "--According to the Yarera-Zusco Firm's people, Kiji apparently told his parents the story when he went back to his homeland. In order to confirm he would marry Miku. He was apparently going to bring her with him but you wouldn't have approved of such a thing. So he only went by himself for the time being..... Ah, speaking of Kiji, his ship returned here this morning."
 * Kai: "......"
 * It was at that moment. Someone interjected while coming through the shop entrance.
 * Kiji: "Miroku-san!..... I heard Miku was dead at the harbor just now--"
 * This tall man was wearing a business suit was Kiji, Miku's lover.
 * Kai: "--You bastard!!"
 * As soon as he saw him, Kai flew at Kiji and grabbed his collar.
 * Kai: "You...... If not for you... Miku would......"
 * Looking like Kai would beat Kiji at any moment, Uibee quickly pulled them away from each other.
 * Uibee: "Hey, hey. Don't start a fight in front of a constable. Or I'll have to arrest you." (rough)
 * Kai: "Dammit."
 * Kai collapsed, sitting on the tatami.
 * Kai: "Get out! I don't want to see your face ever again! Geeet out!!"
 * After he said that, Kiji just stared silently at Kai's face for a while before silently bowing his head and leaving the Miroku Shop.
 * Uibee then followed after him, grabbing his shoulder from behind.
 * Uibee: "Wait a minute. You're Kiji-san, right?"
 * Kiji: "...... Yes, that's right. What is it?"
 * Kiji responded with an expressionless face.
 * Uibee: "I'm the constable, Uibee. I want to hear your story a little......"
 * Kiji: "A constable...... hmph."
 * Kiji snorted and Uibee made a bit of a disgruntled face.
 * Uibee: "Something funny?"
 * Kiji: "--What Miku had told me. You guys at the Magistrate's office were far from catching the culprit who killed her mother; you're so incompetent you've barely found any clues."
 * Uibee: "I won't respond to that. But you know, that's why this time--"
 * Kiji: ""This time"? What "this time"! Miku died because of your incompetence!  Miku was even..... supposed to give birth to a child...... there's no "this time" now!!"
 * Uibee: "......"
 * Uibee released Kiji's shoulder.
 * Kiji: "..... I don't trust you guys at the Magistrate's office at this point! This criminal who killed Miku...... I will find him and kill him!!"
 * After saying those caustic words, Kiji walked away straight towards Twin Mirror Bridge.
