Chapter 9

Hachiya Minako POV

-

10 years ago in the middle of the war against the Chinese Union, my dear little sister died.

When she wanted answers about her death, the government of Japan said that she should be honored that she died in combat to protect freedom and blah blah blah.

When I wanted to find information on my own, the Taimanin almost declared me a traitor to Japan and for my actions of reviewing confidential reports, I was severely punished with conscription in the war against China to replace my dead sister.

Years later the war ended and I was the only survivor of my Clan, the rest died in unknown situations or places against enemies that were not even from the Chinese Union.

When I returned to the Clan compound, the only thing the Japanese Government asked of me was to rebuild the Hachiya Clan.

the same Hachiya Clan that they had killed or sold for others to kill.

my younger sister was one more of those victims of the Hachiya Clan, along with many members of other Clans, including the total extermination of 10 Clans without leaving a single survivor.

When Fuuma Danjo proposed a total separation with the Government of Japan, I was one of those who voted in favor of that separation, although since we were not the majority of the votes, the Taimanin continued to work for Japan.

and when the Ueno Clan announced that they were seeking a political marriage, I was the one who agreed to that political marriage, even though I had to kidnap and force my future husband to marry me, I did it to rebuild the Clan.

But when my first son was born, I treated him as if he were any member of the Clan, I didn't listen to him, I didn't spend time with him, I didn't talk to him either.

I just paid a maid to take care of all her needs, without bothering me.

It was until my daughter was born, my dear daughter, the thing I love the most to this day, and I love her more than my own life, once I started raising her, playing with her, educating her and talking to her, arose the memory that I also have a son.

It has been abandoned for over 5 years.

And when I decided to see him after 5 years my heart started to hurt, I tried to talk to him and spend at least 2 or 4 minutes with him, only to see how he is terrified or upset with me, even though I know I deserve it, because not only being a bad mother but also for all the things I've done, although I don't regret anything other than not taking care of my son.

A few days ago a servant informed me of some changes in my son's behavior, but I ignored them, until I went to wait for him in the dining room to talk about the Academy.

After 2 months without seeing him, he looked more, more mature?

I don't know, he just didn't speak or behave like before, and seeing the reaction of some of the servants, this change must be from today, when I talked to him he called me mother, MOTHER!

instead of lady he said or matriarch as he once said, it was at that moment that my memories of having abandoned him for more than 5 years began to make a hole in my chest.

I decided to give him more attention and try to improve his opinion of me to at least try to fix the mother-son relationship that I destroyed when he was born, but when I wanted to introduce his sister to all my efforts to get closer to my son and learn more about him, he went to The trash.

looking at my son's cold, emotionless eyes looking back at me.

panic, great sadness and unbearable regret filled my thoughts as well as my emotions, imagining what my life would be like with my two children if I had not abandoned my son or what it would be like if I had changed my idea that I only have one daughter, several years ago.

When my son called me the matriarch, I almost cried to tears at the level of rejection he feels for me, it's the same as a year ago.

After letting my son out, I looked with a sad expression and tears falling from my eyes to where I was sitting minutes before, when I finished crying I spent the rest of the day with my daughter and with the goal of at least fixing or creating a relationship between my children

Hachiya Karako POV

returning to the present

-Gosha Academy-

I enter the academy, walk towards the stairs to the floor below and when I go downstairs, I turn to the right and continue walking straight towards my classroom, without any detours.

When I reach the door of the classroom, I raise my right hand and open the door. Upon entering I see that we are only 5 people-children including me.

At the back of the room is the same trio of kids from yesterday and in the center of the room is the troublesome kid who wanted to charge Kiryu Sábato for returning his notebook (it's probably full of shit about investigations or sexual stuff).

looking towards the door and with a somewhat bored expression that changed to one full of evil like the son of a bitch that he is, with a jovial tone.

Neguchi Yukio: "look who arrived"

Neguchi Yukio: "the number 1 womanizer and the number 1 acting bastard"

Slightly surprised by his own words, he grabs his chin with his left hand, and then stretches out his arm with his finger pointing at me, with a miserable smile and an excited tone.

Neguchi Yukio: "Look how many number 1s you have! Maybe I should become your fan"

smiling warmly but inside shitting insults and with a friendly tone.

Hachiya Karako: "thanks for the compliments but I just want to be friends with my classmates"

a little surprised but then somewhat disinterested.

Neguchi Yukio: "yes, yes, you're like the girl with the pointy ears, although I see you're not as stupid as her"

Neguchi Yukio: "putting that aside"

Neguchi Yukio: "how do you think she will be the future sex education teacher?"

After asking that question, he turned to the three children at the back of the room.

Neguchi Yukio: "and you?"

keeping his gaze expressionless and with a serene tone.

Igawa Kageomi: "I don't care"

when he answered, the other two nodded to confirm that they thought the same.

then we spend the 5 of us talking about all sorts of things, like how big the teacher's breasts are or how sexy the female Taimanins look in their Taimanin suits.

Some time later, the rest of the students begin to arrive and instead of entering the teacher from the day before, Zabaku Shigeru enters.
