Tokyo: After years of stagnation, the heiress of the yakuza arrives.

The Miyazaki family.

"Xiao Gao, what should I do now? I feel like Xiao Qing's situation is getting more and more serious."

Ritsuko Miyazaki hid on a flower bed outside the villa, pretending to water the plants with a watering can, but actually she was making a quiet phone call, communicating with her best friend about her illness.

I'm not talking about anything else, just what happened this afternoon.

"If that's really the case, then the situation is indeed quite bad, and we need to quickly determine the specific cause..."

On the other end of the phone, a girl named Xiao Gao frowned, her tone slightly troubled.

"Huh? Is it that serious!" Miyazaki Ritsuko's heart skipped a beat. Because of her nervousness, her palms were sweaty, and the watering can fell much faster.

Flower: It's Chinese New Year, my Gods! Today I'm going to show you what it means to have three mouths and a pot of water!

Let's go!

By the time Miyazaki Ritsuko realized she had overwatered, it was too late; the flowers in the flowerbed were completely dead... But thankfully, she hasn't noticed yet. As for why it's a good thing, don't worry about that; the good thing is that it hasn't affected her train of thought for the phone call.

"Yes, it's very serious."

"Ritsuko-neechan, you know what kind of personality Xiaoqing has. Under normal circumstances, do you think Xiaoqing would pretend to be asleep and wait for a male classmate to bring her back?"

Ritsuko Miyazaki: "..."

This was also her biggest worry. It was possible that her daughter's second personality had already emerged and even taken over. Thinking about this made her start to get nervous.

"Then, what should we do? If it really is a split personality, what should we do? Is there any way to turn back into one personality?" Miyazaki Ritsuko asked anxiously.

Shimotsuki Takagi: "Currently, there is a way: to put one of the personalities into a permanent slumber, so that the other personality will continue to dominate. Completely killing it might be too risky..."

"Huh?" Miyazaki Ritsuko turned pale when she heard that she was going to kill something.

My hand trembled, and I spilled all the remaining water from the kettle into the flower bed in front of me...

Hua: Thank you, boss, for another pot of water. Since you're so generous, we won't stand on ceremony. We'll put on a show of dying to liven things up for you!

Flower... suddenly!

As for Miyazaki Ritsuko... she didn't notice what was happening on the flower terrace at all, and was still focused on asking about the matter of schizophrenia.

"Which one to keep depends on what you and your husband think, Ritsuko. Let's first confirm which one is the personality you've lived with for many years. Based on your description, Ritsuko, this new personality may have only appeared recently, so there's still a chance to save it and it won't cause you too much pain."

Shimotsuki Takari began to explain: "It's best not to dwell on this kind of thing for too long. We must act decisively. The damage to the brain from split personality is enormous, and it's uncertain whether new personalities will continue to emerge. The only way is to nip it in the bud..."

Miyazaki Ritsuko grew increasingly frightened as she listened: "Kagami, come over tomorrow. I'll figure out how to handle Kiyoshi's situation. Just come over, and I'll accept it even if you scold me."

In some important matters, Ritsuko Miyazaki has demonstrated extraordinary courage.

Even at the risk of further deterioration in the mother-daughter relationship, or even being disliked, they will continue.

Because she didn't want to see her Xiaoqing get hurt in any way. Over the years, Xiaoqing had already suffered enough... This kind of thing couldn't be allowed!

Ritsuko Miyazaki's expression became much more determined.

"Okay, Ritsuko-neechan, I'll hang up now. Airi and the others have finished school, I'll go pick her up," said Shimotsuki Kori.

"Hmm, okay, tomorrow seems to be the weekend, let's bring Airi along too..." Miyazaki Ritsuko said, as if she had thought of something.

Shuangyue Gaoli sighed: "Hey, Ritsuko-neechan, there's probably nothing we can do. This child doesn't listen to me at all right now; she's still going through her rebellious phase."

Still going through...the rebellious phase?

Why does this sound so familiar?

If I remember correctly, this was the same saying many years ago, right?

Shimotsuki Takari's daughter, Shimotsuki Airi, is currently in the sixth grade of elementary school and will soon be entering junior high school. She comes from a single-parent family, and due to the lack of paternal love, she was somewhat withdrawn and insecure when she was young. As she grew a little older, she became rebellious and went to the other extreme...

Um... as for what kind of extreme it is, it's probably like this.

You trash, idiot, pervert, if you keep looking I'll get Uncle Hat to arrest you!

This kind of script for a little devil...

Shuangyue Gaoli was at her wit's end. As a top professor of psychiatry, the fact that her own daughter had developed mental problems would break even the strongest person.

Anyway, Ritsuko Miyazaki held her tongue, because the situation at her house seemed even worse, and she couldn't smile at all...

In comparison, she would rather her daughter be some kind of rebellious little devil, so that she could at least get scolded a couple of times every day, interact with her, and strengthen the mother-daughter bond.

Yes, Ritsuko Miyazaki has suppressed her emotions to this extent.

There's a saying circulating online that Kong Yiji couldn't get rid of his long gown, but when it came to Ritsuko Miyazaki, she didn't even have any bitter tea left. People even envy the close, visceral relationship between the Jingu family mother and daughter in the octagon.

She envied the one who was beaten and the one who was scolded, but she had neither. All she could do was ignore them and had no desire to communicate at all.

Those who understood were already crying...

What?! You're not going to cry?! If you don't cry, they'll seize your family's assets!

Every family has its own troubles, and coincidentally, after comparing herself with the people she knows, Miyazaki Ritsuko discovered that her family's troubles were the most difficult to resolve.

"Alright, Xiao Gao, you should go now. It's getting late, and I bet Ellie is getting impatient."

"Okay, Ritsuko-neechan, I'll hang up now."

"Beep beep beep..."

After hanging up the phone, Ritsuko Miyazaki put it away, and then...

"Huh? When did the water in the kettle run out? Hopefully it didn't drown them!"

Ritsuko Miyazaki: "..."

"My flower!" Ritsuko Miyazaki cried out sharply as she began the rescue operation.

Inside the villa, in Miyazaki Kiyoshi's room.

Hearing the screams coming from outside the villa, Miyazaki Kiyoshi frowned subconsciously, sat up from the bed, stepped barefoot onto the tatami mat, and walked towards the window.

"Splash!"

Close the window, and the whole world becomes quiet!

Miyazaki Ritsuko downstairs: "???"

No, Xiao Qingni...

Ritsuko Miyazaki is heartbroken +999 +999 +999...

In his room, Miyazaki Kiyoshi returned to bed, intending to continue reading, go for a run later, then wash his face, brush his teeth, and go to sleep. He planned to get up at six o'clock the next morning for breakfast and then go to school…

"Buzz!"

Miyazaki Kiyoshi was startled when his phone vibrated.

Evil alien: "Minister, have you eaten?"

Kiyoshi Miyazaki: "I ate it, why are you asking this?"

Evil alien: "Are you full?"

Kiyoshi Miyazaki: "..."

Kiyoshi Miyazaki: "I never eat until I'm full. I only eat until I'm about 70% full. Eating too much is very harmful to the stomach and intestines, raises blood sugar, and makes the brain feel sluggish for a short time. Staying hungry helps improve efficiency..."

Evil Alien: "Not full yet? Great! Minister, we're really on the same wavelength! I knew you weren't full. I've ordered a whole table of food, and the celebratory drinks are ready for you. We've been waiting for you!"

Kiyoshi Miyazaki: "..."

Miyazaki Kiyoshi narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the messages that Kuroba Shido kept sending on his phone. The messages were incredibly enthusiastic... almost eerily so.

This guy... could it be that he forgot his money and was planning to ask her to pay for his meal?

"I'm not going, I need to rest."

"That's such a pity. By the way, Minister, do you have Aoko's contact information?"

Send me your location.
