Chapter 1: Act 5: Scene 8


 * Kokutan: "--Please, forgive me."


 * Someone has visited the tailor.


 * It was an unfamiliar voice.


 * The person who came there...... if he wasn't a neighbor, perhaps he came for work I thought.


 * Kayo: "No problem, may I ask who you are?"


 * Upon answering, a young man came in.


 * He was blonde with blue eyes, wearing armor with a tabard over it.


 * The tabard was torn around the sleeves so it seems he had come to have it repaired.


 * Kokutan: "I came here hearing you were the one called Sudou Kayo-san--"


 * Kayo: "I am Sudou Kayo...... Will you be requesting my work?"


 * Kokutan: "Oh...... yes. There's that too."


 * The young man took off the tabard and handed it to Kayo.


 * Kayo: "..... Were you slashed with some edged tool? But my, with this much damage, it'll take two or three days"


 * Kokutan: "Um, would you mind hearing me out?"


 * Kayo: "What is it?"


 * Kokutan: "Um...... Kayo-san, um...... have you given birth to a child?"


 * At that sudden question, Kayo had blank look with wide eyes for a while.


 * But, kindly answered before long.


 * Kayo: "Yes...... a son...... with blue eyes and blond hair just like yours"


 * Kokutan: "! I knew it......"


 * Kayo: "You seem to be in some sort of situation?"


 * Kokutan: "I came to Onigashima to look for my real mother."


 * Kayo: "Why, if your mother on this island?"


 * Kokutan: "Yes, because a received a revelation...... From a mermaid."


 * Kayo: "Mermaid......?"


 * Kokutan: "You might think it's a silly story. But I'm certain I encountered a mermaid, and she told me this. "Your real, former mother is in Onigashima," and, "She possesses pink hair and runs a tailor shop," and...... that my real name was "Ren"."


 * Kayo: "......!!"


 * In Kayo's surprise, she put a hand to her mouth.


 * Kokutan: "In order to ascertain the truth, I journeyed here with my companions. We took several detours along the way...... and, finally, we were able to arrive here."


 * Kayo: "..... Indeed...... I did once give birht to a child...... and that child's name was---"Ren"."


 * Kokutan: "! Then-"


 * Kayo: "I don't know...... Honestly, I'm very confused right now. But from what I do grasp......."


 * Kayo got up and rushed over to the young boy.


 * And then hugged him tightly.


 * Kayo: "Right now...... let me believe your story is true...... I want to hug you like this...... Oh, Ren!"


 * Kokutan: "Kayo-san"


 * [Space]


 * The youth's identity was that boy called Kokutan-douji that Eikichi and Oyuka made rumor of.


 * I don't if know whether this innocent-looking boy had been lying. He didn't look like a devious boy who approached Kayo in order to deceive her. But, if he was speaking the truth.


 * It would be very difficult to explain the feelings I had at the time to you.


 * I wanted to tell him but couldn't.


 * [Space]


 * That the "revelation" he was told.


 * That it was nothing more than the whispers of a demon.
