210 What are boobs?

he swallows hard. his father is standing near the kitchen's entrance, judging him. "our son is quite adventurous. he sneaks into a child's room and shows her pictures of male and female organs. if an adult man did that, he would have been labelled as a paedophile and spend his life in prison."

the last words make yuta tremble in horror. even if his mother doesn't know about his rebirth, his father knows it. "this is not what it seems like. i don't have such interests."

"what kind of interests are you talking about?" rie's smile becomes wider. "tell me. if it is not what it seems like, then what is it?"

yuki doesn't understand what's going on. she is a little surprised. yuta's parents are angry for sure. but, his mother isn't beating him up. his father is not ignoring him. even sora's parents slap him when he does something wrong. she looks down at her feet. why is her mother not like this lady?

"i was…" yuta doesn't know how to explain his actions. "i was only reading a book to her."

"and, that book happened to have pictures of male and female private parts?" kiyohira raises his brow.

his father is never going to look at him the same way. yuta feels wronged. this misunderstanding is growing big. he doesn't want his father to think that he's a paedophile. he reveals the truth, "the book's name is introduction to human physiology. i took it from her mother's room. i wanted to show her that she is a female."

"is that what happened?" rie looks at yuki for confirmation.

the girl gives her a quiet nod. she can sense that rie isn't happy. though she can't tell what she did wrong, she looks down at her feet, feeling guilty. 

yuta's father walks to her side. "don't worry. he won't hurt you. say the truth without any fear."

"yes." yuki peeks at yuta who is standing beside his mother with a constipated look on his face. she doesn't want to get blamed alone. it's that boy's fault. "he asked me if i wanted to see his penis. when i said yes, he got angry. but, i wanted to see if he has the same thing as in the book… then, he annoyed me more. so, i tried to uproot his penis."

she didn't have to say it like that. she could have skipped the last part. this must be hell. yuta covers his face. he can't endure his parents' looks. she killed him in his last life. in this life, she took away his honour. she injured his precious treasures. she destroyed his image in front of his parents. he doesn't know whether he wants to cry or laugh. 

this girl is such a demon at this age. 

kiyohira looks at his son with pity. he can tell from yuta's expression that he went through an experience that must be horrible for a man. rie isn't pitying her son. instead, she is fuming. she grasps yuta's shoulder. "you asked her if she wanted to see it."

"i was joking." yuta's lips tremble. "mother, i am honest. i was only joking and she took it seriously."

"you shouldn't be joking about things like that." kiyohira is having a headache. he studies yuki who is watching yuta with happiness in her eyes. this little girl is quite notorious. he just can't figure out how a child would think of ripping another child's penis out. how did the situation escalate to that point? 

he looks at his wife who once cursed his father's descendants to have rotten diseased penises. his son has a girl who wants to rip his penis. his son did question him if kamiyama men had bad luck in love. rather than bad luck, it seems that kamiyama men choose devilish women who either try to curse their penises or rip them out. he lets out an exasperated sigh. he can see the similarities between him and his son now. 

"i didn't know that she would react that way." yuta says to his father, "father, believe me. i am not a paedophile. why would i be interested in a girl with no boobs?"

"what are boobs?" yuki might not know what boobs are, but she is incensed by his words. she adds another question that's been bugging her for a while. "what is paedophile?"

rie: "..."

kiyohira: "..."

she's going to get him sent to the military school at this rate. yuta wants to tear his hair out. "why don't you just keep your evil mouth shut?"

"i am not going to keep my mouth shut." yuki crosses her arms and scowls at him. "if you say something, you should take responsibility for your words. that's what my father told me. you have to tell me now. what are boobs? i already don't have a penis. i want to know what more i don't have."

"right, the rice must be cooked by now." kiyohira rushes toward the kitchen.

"wait." rie shouts after him, "don't leave me alone here."

"i have to make breakfast." he yells from the kitchen. "take care of the children."

did he just abandon her in the middle of the crisis? bastard! how is she going to handle these two devils in front of her?

in the kitchen, kiyohira takes a breath of relief. he feels a little bad for his wife who is dealing with two scary children. he can die for his wife, but he can't answer those petrifying questions. 

the girl doesn't notice the adult's discomfort. she prods for an answer again, "lady, what are boobs?"

the lady in question doesn't know how to answer. she is not this child's mother. how should she take responsibility for her son's stupidity?

"don't worry about not having boobs right now." yuta snickers when he sees the curiosity and frustration in yuki's eyes. seeing her like this is satisfying. "you will have boobs in the future."

rie covers her son's mouth. she knows now. she can't send her little devil to the pre-school. this boy is going to taint every innocent mind.
