Chapter 77 - I want a divorce

Grandmother Kamyama is relieved to find out that Chisa's father hasn't found out about Kiyohira's sudden marriage. The news is not out yet. But, she knows that she has to tell them. As politely as she could, she cancels the engagement saying that her grandson has different opinions. Chisa's father is miffed. Grandmother Kamiyama apologizes genuinely.

"What did you say?" Chisa slams the teacup on the table. "Kamiyama family did what?"

"They canceled the engagement." Her father tells her bitterly, "It's not a surprise. It's been two years. He didn't make a single move toward you. You failed to seduce him."

Chisa clenches her jaw. She gets up and walks away from her fuming father. Her mind is full of thoughts. Why did they cancel the engagement suddenly? That old woman has been worried about her grandson's love for Rie who is already dead. It's true that Chisa didn't try to seduce Kiyohira. That's because Kiyohira isn't the type of man who would get seduced by her. She has been trying to make him fall for her. Since he fell in love with her toy, it's only natural that she would also want his love. Nothing less!

She receives a call from Morikawa.

Morikawa: "I found out who she is."

Chisa: "I don't have time to know about a clown."

Morikawa: "Hashimoto San, Takeuchi Rie didn't die two years ago."

Chisa: "What did you say?"

Morikawa: "The gamer is Rie. Two years ago, she lost her memories. They faked her death. She came back to T city after receiving the invitation to play. I think that Kamiyama Kiyohira was the one who faked her death. That's why he asked us to leave right away yesterday. I heard that she lost consciousness in his office. I went to the hospital. She is already released. I have sent the rest of the information in the mail."

Chisa: "She doesn't have memories. That must be the reason why she didn't recognize me. Kiyohira doesn't know about me and her yet?"

Morikawa: "He tried to dig everywhere. He didn't find anything. It's been taken care of. If Umezaki Rie doesn't recover her memories and speak, we wouldn't have any problem."

Chisa: "She won't say my name if she remembers. Even if she says it, there is no evidence that it's me. I will silence her forever. This time, I will wait until her tenacious heart stops."

That broken toy of her should have died that night. How dare she keeps breathing? For two years, Chisa has been in dark.

That must be the reason why Kiyohira didn't take a glance at her once. Then, why did he break the engagement now?

***

Kiyohira eyes his brother and his wife darkly. They are joking and laughing while playing the damn game. She has never laughed like that with him. How come his brother is better than him?

He pulls the wire. The screen turns black. They look at him with sour faces.

Takeshi: "Why did you do that?"

Rie: "You ruined the game."

Takeshi: "He doesn't know how to play. Sister-in-law, you married a wrong man."

Rie: "I will just divorce him if he does it one more time."

Takeshi: "You should do that. I will introduce to better men after you get the divorce."

They only got married his morning. This woman is already talking about divorce. His younger brother is supporting it and even telling her that he will introduce her to better men. Kiyohira gnashes his teeth and breaks the gaming console.

Both Rie's and Takeshi's hearts are broken when they hear that sound.

Rie holds her head dramatically. "I regret it. I want a divorce."

Kiyohira feels like it's been kicked whenever she utters 'divorce'.

Takeshi rolls his eyes at his jealous brother. "You are an idiot, bro. It hasn't been 24 hours since you got married. She's already asking for a divorce."

"Woman, am I a refrigerator that you can return anytime?" Kiyohira asks her quietly. "It's just a gaming console. Takeshi has too many."

She fists her hand and glares at him. He gives in. She's the wife.

"Fine." He puts away the broken gaming console. "I will behave. But, don't play with that fox again."

She crosses her arms. "Why can't I play with him?"

"Play with me instead."

"Why would I play with a noob?"

"You were also a noob once."

"No, I was born a genius," She tells him proudly.

Kiyohira pecks her lips. "Yes, you are a genius."

Surprised, she takes ten steps backward. "What the hell! You told me that you won't do it with me unless I also love you."

"I did say that." He smirks at her. "I won't do 'it', but I never said that I won't do other things."

She opens her mouth, but no words would come out. Her bewildered expression is cute.

"You must be hungry." He puts his hand on her back and pushes her out of the room with him. "It's time for lunch."
