[Psycho-Pass] Princess Disease

Chapter 19 The Prisoned Bird

There must be some kind of prohibited animal in this home.

The maid who is obsessed with Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series of novels - I guess so.

The relationship between the master and his wife is very bad, and the two living under the same roof try their best to avoid meeting each other.

It is said that the master originally fell in love with his wife's older sister, but ended up marrying his current wife because the witch thought it would be more suitable for her sister.

The elder sister of the wife who ran away from home has returned to the mother clan of the wife in recent years, and the relationship with the younger sister has become harmonious.

But I think there seems to be a lack of "former lovers" feeling between the master and his wife.

The master looks much younger than his actual age. If he hadn't been in a state of extreme depression all year round, he should be very pleasing to women.

His study room is adjacent to his wife's study room, because his wife is not at home often, and even if she is, he will not come to the study room, so he shuts himself in the study room all year round.

The reason why it is speculated that the master is raising some kind of prohibited animals is because the master always asks his servants to deliver meals for two to the door.As a day-to-day person in charge of this job, I am naturally keen to spot blind spots.

The master does not manage any affairs, and indulges in alcohol and play all day long.

Until one day, a very famous senator came to visit him.

I happened to be on duty to deliver tea and water, and I overheard their conversation, and knew that this congressman was called Hashida Ryoji.

After seeing off Councilor Hashida, the master sat on the sofa alone for a long time. For him who always stays at home, this is extremely rare.

After a while, he went upstairs, and then asked me to come in alone.

"Did you hear our conversation?" He asked feebly, as if he had been a walking dead alive in the world for a long time.

"Yeah." I answered honestly, because I knew he must be short of reliable people, so I needed to ask for help, "I heard it. Mr. Hashita seems to have learned the whereabouts of your children."

"Ah, that's right." He sighed. "I had a nasty relationship and that's what happened to them. It's no secret though. I'm going to say another thing, Presumably you, who deliver meals to me every day, understand that there is something hidden in my study."

"Yes, yes!" I was very excited because I was about to be told the truth.

"Hiding my daughter here."

"Your and Madam's... child..."

"No, it's not hers. It's the consequence of a moment of absurdity I had to bear - her mother lost her to me." He lowered his head and covered his face with his hands, "although it's a whore's child, But it is also my biological daughter who is connected by blood. I am becoming more and more abnormal, and I don’t know what kind of things I will do. So please take care of her, don’t worry about other things, just look at her.”

Because there was no household registration after birth, the illegitimate daughter born to the master and a sex worker in Kabukicho still has no name.

After the master learned that his twins might still be alive, he became more energetic, and donated the welfare organization under his name, Fujima Academy, to a wealthy Italian businessman and politician.

If you think about it carefully, it is probably to avoid suspicion in order to be able to legally adopt your own child in the future.

Let someone else send the twins to welfare first, and then create a coincidence to adopt them and give them the status they deserve.

However, some accident happened, and only the son was brought to the master in the end, and because the boy had lost his memory, it was impossible to find the whereabouts of the girl.

Because my wife was not at home during this period, the master dismissed the servants and left me to take care of the housework.

"Because it was so difficult to return...so let's call him Kosaburo." Saying this, the master decided on the boy's name.

Like me, he has been registered in the orphan list of the welfare agency, and he is no longer an unregistered person.

Although I knew in advance that Kosaburo Fujima was the master's child, it didn't make me think that they were very similar.

The master is taciturn and depressed, with a melancholy and inexplicable expression as if suffering from migraines all day long.

Although Kozaburo Fujima is also quiet and docile, he is fundamentally different from the master.

What impressed me most was the afternoon when he was led by the new owner of the welfare institution to the old man's house.

I brought the black tea to the living room. I saw a rare happy smile on the melancholy face of the master, but I couldn't see the expression of the young man with his back to me. Reflected in the floor-to-ceiling windows, the young man's gentle and immature face, his eyes are full of emptiness, as if he is indifferent to everything in front of him as if he can see through the world.

Not only the expression of resentment can make people feel scared, this kind of emptiness and indifference is not like a human expression.

Didn't the master realize that even if he was connected by blood, the child opposite him was in a completely different world from him.

Aware of the weirdness of this boy my own age, I took great care to keep my distance from him.Never get close to him unless necessary.

Frankly speaking, I don't believe in devils, but this humble, docile, handsome and upright young man made me believe in the existence of devils.

At the same time, I have to take care of the young lady who was hidden in the study by the master.

Since the master entrusted me, he has never seen his daughter again, and completely entrusted the task of taking care of this girl to me, who is the same age as her.

The young lady is quiet and has recently begun to read the books on the shelf very quickly.He also eats a lot, because he grows fast.This made me often have to carry the plate to the kitchen to add food after she finished eating.

This move of mine caught the boy's attention.

Since he ate with the master, who should I give food to?

He must have such doubts.

"I'll keep it a secret." The way he said this was really sincere, not to mention that his face was indeed easy to like.

So I gave in: "Okay, but you can't let her see you. I won't close the door, just look through the door."

I feel sorry for the young lady who was treated like an animal, but as long as she doesn't know about it, it doesn't matter.

I console myself so much.

She didn't even look at the food I sent, and looked at me with a little excitement: "Ryoko, you said you like "Wuthering Heights" very much."

Since it is impossible for her to meet anyone but me, she can only share her impressions with me.

"Ah, yes." I said.

"'I'm just going to say that heaven isn't like home to me. I cried so hard that I wanted to come back to earth. And the angels were so angry that they threw me in the middle of the grass at Wuthering Heights. There I was Woke up and wept with joy.'" She rested her chin on her hand, with a look of longing on her face, "How beautiful, Yoshiko. Who would be eager to go to heaven.' For sinful people, who can Merry heaven.'”

"Hmph, that's a good insight. You're always digging out these inexplicable things." I said casually. I like Wuthering Heights because Edgar is the only normal person there. As for the hero and heroine, that's simply ...

I took the tray away and let her eat slowly.Eating is also a big event for her, it will take two or three hours, I can't

Can't wait that long.

I said to Fujima, "So you see, it's just a kid."

And also your half-sister.I added in my mind.

He didn't answer my words as gently as usual, but showed a slightly puzzled look, and his expression was a little wandering.

He forgot about my presence beside him, and faded away from his usual docile smile, leaving only a blank expressionless face. This look reminded me of the strong anxiety I felt when I first saw him.

The author has something to say:

This story should be the last one.

There is no real writer. Timelines are messed up and ages are aligned.

No one has kept their memories, and it is the closest to the real story.

Whether it is a pure girl or a good son, there should be a real ending.

According to the development, the protagonist of this series is only Junmei, but judging from the theme, it may be more appropriate that the protagonist is Ryoko.
