Chapter 111: Chapter 111 The Hearts That Guide Part 02.

Hina freshens up and changes to her new outfit. With a creak, she closes the door that leads to her room. She wears a usual tomboyish outfit with a white T-shirt that seems short, a red jacket to match her hair, and dark blue jeans that cover her feet. Hina walked with less energy because she still hadn't put anything in her stomach since night.

As she descended the stairs to the living room, a smell of brewed coffee and toasted bread entered her nose, rousing her appetite, letting out a cute growl that was noticed by the queen of the household.

"Hina! You must be hungry. Do you want me to make it?".

Hisako, who currently sat on top of the wooden chair in the dining room while having a cup of brewed coffee and a piece of toasted bread with melted butter, awoke Hina's appetite.

"Please, ah, No. let me do it".

"...Sure".

Hina, who saw Hisako almost get up from her chair, opened her mouth to let her enjoy her morning breakfast. She already asked her to accompany her to go to Japan for her own selfishness.

Arriving at the kitchen, Hina took two loaves of bread and put them into the toaster, which was still plugged into the electricity. She opened the fridge, took the white cartoon and poured it into her favorite red cup. After pondering if she should warm it or not, she chooses not to and drinks it just the way it is.

Standing before the two toasters, Hina took a sip from her cold milk and jolted her brain. Then she put down the cup and crossed her hands while her mind started to wander, thinking about the thing she would do afterwards.

The truth is, she was still hesitant, but she wouldn't let herself step in the starting line if she didn't finish it.

Her hands unconsciously clenched, and the crisp sound from the toaster brought back her disturbed mind. Hina prepared her hand and then took the bread, putting it on the plate before going to the dining table.

She slid open the chair and sat opposite her mother, flopping her butt and applying the butter on her hot bread. The smell of the melted butter wafted in the air before it entered her nostril, her mouth already salivating upon the delicious aroma. She opened her mouth to say her blessing.

"Itadakimasu".

Hina enjoyed her breakfast in silence as the hot temperature of the bread didn't affect her, for her body was accustomed to having this kind of meal in the morning. Hisako kept her gaze on her daughter, who still didn't tell her why Hina wanted to return to Japan.

However, Hisako, who is aware of her daughter's past and nature, decides to watch her from the side, and if the time comes, she knows that Hina herself will open up to her. Hina drank the cold milk, washing away the leftover food that stuck in her mouth.

"Thanks for the meal".

She tidies up the utensils she used, and when the time arrives, she brings them to the wash bin. Her mother stopped her.

"Leave it. I will do it for you".

"...Okay, thanks, mom. I will be leaving in a bit".

"Mm, be careful on your way".

With a clattering sound from the moving chair, Hina rises from her seat and turns her back, leaving the dining room.

"Good luck, Hina".

Hisako's soft voice reverberated, making Hina stop at her feet. Hina's clenched fists relaxed as her breath turned calm. Without turning her back, she nodded her head, resumed her walk and arrived at the entrance door.

At the entrance door, there is a pair of Red sneakers with white lining already prepared, along with socks. Hina's lips gradually loosened as she put on the sneakers her mom had prepared for her.

The door that completely shut separating her world from the outside, creaked open. After Hina twisted the doorknob, it revealed the world outside because of her house, which could be described as wealthy. In front of her home, there is a wide yard with a straight path that leads to the front gate, with shades lining up as if saluting her.

The warm light from the sun basked her with its eternal glow and gave her body a new energy to start her day. Arriving at the gate, Hina walked past the main gate as she neared the small door that was installed beside it. She entered the password that her family had set. With a click, the locked door creaked, and Hina stepped her feet to the outside.

Standing before the gate, Hina took her phone from her pocket and dialing a number.

"Hello, this is Akabane Hina. I would like a reservation for a Taxi please. The place is… ".

After waiting for about a couple of minutes, the blue car started to appear from the other side, and it stopped before Hina. She didn't want to waste any more time as she opened the passenger door before entering inside, letting her body lay on the soft seat.

"Young Miss, Where would you like to go?".

"Hoshizaka middle-school, please".

"Understood, please buckle up…".

Hina does what the driver says and puts on the seat belt, then leans her body to the back, reserving her energy for what is coming.

While traveling in the car, Hina looked at some articles that recently became a hot topic for the appearance of demons. She skipped the content because she didn't have any interest in it. Her eyes were focused on a single photo of a young boy riding a woman with a menacing and bloody expression on his face.

Watching that photo made her mind start to recall the event that happened in the hospital when Soma revealed his past.

Hina's heart started to throb as she clutched her clothes using her right hand. The story that Soma shared with her family contained many tragedies that she couldn't help but feel grief hearing. But she prepares to hear that until the story goes back to the time when he saved her parents and they first met.

Her calm stomach started to churn, and she knitted her brows. But with her will, she managed to relieve the feeling while gritting her teeth.

"...I am a terrible person. …Next time, for sure…".

Her inaudible words were uttered under her breath, and she was the only one who heard it despite the small space she was in.

"...Dear customer, we will arrive".

"Ah, yeah".

After making a last turn, they finally arrived in front of a school gate that had been shut for the class that was already ongoing except for the third year.

"Here is the money".

"Yes, thank you, young miss. Have a good day".

The taxi starts to turn away and leaves Henna alone before the nostalgic palace she once called school. This is where it starts. The place where she is betrayed and the place where she first ran away from the truth.

Hina took out her phone and saw the number from someone she knew well, someone who was always there as a close friend and someone who gave her unjust for the first time in her life. She pressed the call button, dialing the other person.

Hearing the rhythmic beeping from the phone also brought an intense throbbing in her heart and mind. Her hand that holds the phone started to tremble as she bit her lips to keep herself from running away. After dozens of the rhythmic beeping, the call connected.

"...Hina, it's been a while. How have you been?".

A cheerful voice entered through her ear and stiffened her body, for this voice brought back her nostalgia and tragedy simultaneously.

"Kaede. We need to talk!".
