"Bastard! Let go of me! Do you have a death wish?!"
"Damn you! You little shit, let me go right now!"
Suddenly, a roar of fury came from within the desolate and rundown courtyard.
The crows that had been perched on the branches, grooming their feathers, were startled by the roar and flapped their wings while cawing "caw caw."
As time passed, the room gradually returned to calm, and the crows resumed preening their feathers.
Haruka Yuzan quietly watched the still-shouting man he had lifted, his eyes filled with a teasing expression.
"You want me to let you go?"
"Be smart about it, just put me down already!!"
Whether it was from drunkenness or because his collar was being lifted by the boy, his complexion had turned even redder and more ferocious than before.
Now, he had sobered up quite a bit from the alcohol, but the authority he had built up at home over the years still prevented him from submitting.
In the face of the man who stubbornly refused to relent, Haruka Yuzan smiled, tensed his arm, and hoisted Arisugawa Daichi above his head.
The man was of a stature that was short and stout.
Years of alcohol abuse had left his body weak, and just the act of being slightly lifted by Haruka Yuzan had now completely thrown off his balance as he was hoisted over Haruka's head.
He began to breathe more rapidly.
"What, what are you trying to do? Let me go right now!"
Suspended in mid-air, the suffocating sensation at his throat finally made Arisugawa Daichi realize the terror of the young man before him.
What a joke, he was lifted off the ground with a single hand. With such strength, even ten of himself wouldn't be enough for him to handle.
He had only drunk a little bit of alcohol, he wasn't on drugs!! Updates are released by NoveI[F]ire.net
Me... go and hit him?
To intimidate someone like him, no matter how noble your status, nothing is more effective than a hard fist!
Haruka Yuzan was facing such a situation now. Perhaps with gentle persuasion and time, there was a slim chance the man might be swayed.
But... as for now, with such despicable scum, he favored a simpler, more violent approach!!
It was also a good opportunity to vent the nameless rage in his heart.
"Daichi." The beautiful woman pushed into the corner was the first to recover, and seeing her lifted husband, she hurried over.
Her eyes were filled with concern and worry.
This was no longer love but a kind of fear.
Haruka Yuzan frowned, holding the man with one hand, ignoring the sound of ripping of the cheap clothes and the man's pleas for mercy.
Turning his attention to the woman beside him, "Do you want me to let him go?"
"Yes, please... I beg you, let Daichi go. I'll do anything, anything at all."
Madame Arisugawa gripped Haruka Yuzan's arm tightly, pleading with him.
"Are you sure you want me to let go of a man who does nothing but drink and leech off others every day?"
Haruka Yuzan whispered, "Looking at Mai's and Hoshina's expressions, this isn't the first time he's done this, is it."
"Yes, yes, just let me go, I'll do anything, let Miko do anything!!"
Arisugawa Daichi also nodded quickly in agreement, suspended in the air, the feeling of suffocation made him quite uncomfortable.
He had never seen someone so shameless!
At that moment, Haruka Yuzan suddenly felt that just beating him up seemed too lenient.
So, he threw the man onto the ground where he landed directly on an overturned wooden table.
After a loud crash, Arisugawa Daichi let out a painful cry.
However, his eyes, now fixed on Haruka Yuzan, were filled with intense fear.
"Da, Daichi, are, are you okay..." Madame Arisugawa hurried over, trying to help him up.
Upon seeing this, Hoshina, frustrated and angry, pulled her mother away,
"Mom, why do you even bother with him?!"
The young Spice Girl's face was filled with indignant bafflement, clearly disappointed in her mother.
"But, but he's still your father..."
Yoshiko Ishihara said softly, looking down.
For her, a typical housewife from the Island Country, as long as the husband didn't do anything outrageous, then... no matter what he did, she could only suffer in silence, even for the sake of her daughter...
"But has he ever fulfilled his duty as a father in all these years?!"
Unable to bear the sight of her mother , Hoshina spoke out, "All he does is drink, fool around, and hit people. We can live so much better without him! Why is it always ?!"
Yes, in this household, if there was anything the Spice Girl cared about, it was her sister and her mother.
She had said this many times before, but Yoshiko Ishihara never agreed, claiming that a house without a man wasn't good. Today, the Spice Girl had come to say this one last time.
Hoshina had made up her mind, no matter what Yoshiko Ishihara thought today, she would take her sister and leave this family behind.
"But, but he's still your father..."
Yoshiko Ishihara muttered softly, her head still lowered.
Lying on the ground, Arisugawa Daichi had thought to add a few words, but after seeing Haruka Yuzan's gaze, he prudently shut his mouth.
