Unnecessary

"The person you call a child committed a massacre. And there is not an ounce of guilt on his face. We are feeding a snake in our bosom, and you are defending him!"

"what! I'm not defending him, all I do is respect the decisions made by our lord!"

I mean, he's not defending me, huh?

I don't understand how we got to this point.

...

As soon as I finished talking to Hayato, we arrived at an area with a lot of tables. Everywhere was full of people.

"Shall I sit at the same table as you?"

"You don't even have to ask that. You'll be sitting next to me."

As Hayato's face was turned towards me I said "Oh this is so good!"

"Ah- but who are you going to sit next to?"

hayato pausing. "Hmm, I'll probably sit at the table where my dad is," said.

So it will be a serious environment.

"No need to be nervous, just relax. Yes, it will be a tense environment, but who cares, don't worry about it" with a big, heartwarming smile.

what a bright smile.

"Thank you for easing my anxiety." It's impossible not to smile back at that big smile, right?

Hayato turned back to the front and looked around, one by one.

There are so many tables. I'm not sure if he will be able to see his father.

"You'll be able to find your father, ri-"

ha- why did he suddenly grab my wrist and start dragging me again?

Maybe he saw his father.

"You must be surprised, but I saw my father." Hayato said as he continued running.

While saying this, he turned his head a little towards me. The moment he turned his head, his eyes opened in surprise.

ugh

wait a minute or he just realized he was dragging me.

ahaha you can't be serious right now for some reason I feel like punching him so badly.

Is this dragging thing a habit of his? If so, what kind of habit is this, motherfucker.

Hayato suddenly stops and my face hits his back.

"oh sorry, sorry I didn't realize I was dragging you and sorry if your nose hurt."

ooooh so he just noticed.

I was getting up because I bumped into him and fell to the ground. Of course, Hayato, being the angel of goodness that he is, reached out his hand to me. I ignored him.

When I got up, I immediately cleaned the dust off of myself. Well, the clothes may not be mine, but I'm wearing them.

But Hayato gets really annoying in situations like this. Does he think he's an angel? He'll be a warrior in the future. Maybe he thinks people will see him as a hero or something. All he does is unnecessary help and kindness.

Anyway, there is no need to bother my mind with unnecessary things.

Maybe it is better for me like this, it may be the key to my future plans. But right now, definitely the key to the first step.

That's why I have to get along with him no matter how much I don't want it.

Ahhh life is hard

ha- what happened why is it shaking me

"Hey-hey, pull yourself together!"

"ah- ah, I was lost in thought, did you say something?"

"I said we'd better go to my dad's. Otherwise, people will sit and we'll sit next to people we don't know."

Ahh right, I forgot. I better not get lost in thought.

opening the way for him with my hand. "Then go ahead and let's start walking." I said.

"Hahaha thank you, gentleman." with a very hearty laugh.

As Hayato slowly walks to the table where his father is sitting, I can easily see and even feel every eye watching us as I walk right behind him. They are looking at us so intently that it feels like they are piercing me.

I don't know why they're looking, but being a new source of gossip for them isn't very encouraging.

This time, instead of stopping suddenly, Hayato slowed down and stopped. When he stopped, he put his arm in front of me and blocked me with his arm so I didn't to take too many steps.

I didn't go any further as Hayato wanted. At this point Hayato started talking.

Hayato said with a serious voice and facial expression, "Dad, if there's no problem with the people sitting with you, can Kaage and I sit at your table?"

As I said these words, I made eye contact with everyone sitting at the table. Everyone who looked at me had a disgusted look in their eyes, as if they were looking at a monster. To be honest, these looks seemed normal to me, after all, in their eyes, I was a murderer.

Hayato's father said, "Hmm, no, it won't be a problem. After all, you are my son and the boy next to you is a special guest here."

"So instead of standing, come and sit in the empty seats next to me." It seemed as if there was some compassion behind these words. But was there really?

The moment Hayato started to step, I followed him like a tail.

Our seating arrangement said:

Instead of sitting diagonally across from his father, he sat on the side, so I sat between him and his father. It was an awkward position for me, but the good thing was that I didn't have to deal with the piercing eyes of a stranger staring at me like I was disgusting, although of course the person sitting across from me was looking at me the same way, but that wouldn't be a problem.right?

Okay, we sat down but no one was talking. As I expected, people went silent the moment we arrived. Considering the situation, it's 100% my fault but I don't really care. Whatever they do.

Just as I was reaching for the food, a middle-aged man sitting at the table spoke. "So, can we ask a few questions to the special guest here, sir?"

No! Why do you have to talk right when I'm about to start eating? I... want to eat.

I turned towards Hayato's father and raised my head, our eyes met. As if he understood everything from my eyes, he said, "He hasn't eaten for almost 2 days, let him eat some. Ask whatever you want to ask, of course Kaage will answer if he wants to."

oh so he lets them ask me all kinds of questions.

I will focus my head and mind on food. I don't care about anyone around me.

I take a look at the table and there are always rice and fish dishes. Oh, and there is also chicken and meat. Hmmm, oh, and there are also slops.

I don't remember the names of the dishes, but I will eat without any separation. this and that Let me put in front of me.

...

ohhhh I'm full!

It's hard to be hungry for 2 days.

I don't want to stay hungry for 2 days again.

I was so focused on eating that I didn't even care about the people around me. Ah... but is it normal for a kid my age to eat this much? hmmm oh well, it doesn't really matter what they think, already.

hmm then it's time to get my head up.

As soon as I raised my head, I realized that everyone in front of me and everyone sitting at the table was looking at me. Is eating a crime?

I don't understand...I haven't done anything since the moment I got here, but it seems like everyone here has a grudge against me.

And I finished my meal, so there's a guy who's eager to ask me questions. I'll give him short answers and not go into too much detail, and if the guy asking questions goes too far, Hayato or his dad might intervene.

Of course, that would be fine with me.

The man who got permission to ask a question said, "Then, since the special guest here has eaten his meal, I would like to ask you some questions if you allow me."

Oh, I mean, I understand that he didn't wait. But why does he keep calling me a special guest?

Hayato's father nodded yes.

The man seemed relieved when he got the yes answer, but this time he turned directly to me and stared at me.

"I'm going to ask you a few questions. You don't need to be nervous. The first question is, is it true that you the massacre in front of the house committed?"

So it started with this question

I want to be open to this question, but my situation here may depend on these words. Ah! The easiest way is to poke Hayato and he will look at me and then shake his head yes or no. 

I quickly turned to Hayato and nudged him. He turned to me just as quickly and understanding , shrugged his shouldersthe situation as if to say he didn't know.

Ah... so everything will depend on me. whatever

"Do you need to think so much? You just say yes or no."

"I was just... wondering if I should be honest and I'll be honest with you. YES I did. The person who committed the massacre there is sitting right here."

I couldn't hold back my smile at the end while saying these words.

But my words seem to have created too much pressure. Instead of eyes examining me, there are now eyes looking at me as if they see me as a threat and want to kill me.

One of the people at the table stood up and slammed his hands on the table.

"Sir, is this kid trustworthy?"

He stood up as if he was angry but managed to remain calm.

Hayato's father "Of course we have no choice but to trust him. My father trusts him. That means we should trust him too. And to be honest, I do too."

seriously...i'm flattered, thank you sir.

When some people at the table heard these words, they took their murderous looks away from me and started trying to be more calm.

The man who asked the question moved his mouth as if he wanted to ask more questions, but Hayato's father interrupted him and said, "That's enough questions, one question is more than enough for you."

It's nice of you to say that, but it doesn't seem like the people at the table are very happy with it, sir.

"But sir, how can you trust this child! He is nothing but a poor child whose lineage is not even known!"

Hey! That was harsh and I know my lineage you son of a bitch.

"Be careful what you say in front of your master! And be careful what you say about the boy" said a young man at the table.

He's defending me. To be honest, I'm touched. I didn't think there would be someone defending me here.

"The person you call a child committed a massacre. And there is not an ounce of guilt on his face. We are feeding a snake in our bosom, and you are defending him!"

Oh, he hit a good point. How will the other guy react?

"what! I'm not defending him, all I do is respect the decisions made by our lord!"

I mean, he's not defending me, huh?

Hayato's father said, "Enough fuss! Dinner time is over."

His words were dripping with anger as he said these things, and it was impossible not to notice it.

Everyone at the table was completely frozen. Some had already run away, but the rest looked like they didn't know what to do. Noticing this, Hayato's father didn't remain indifferent.

"Why are you standing there like you're looking at some shit! Get lost!"

ohh...this guy is very angry. It's best not to do anything. I'll just stand here until he calls me.

Everyone at the table had finally left. And after everyone had left, Hayato's father sighed heartily and sat back down in the chair he had been sitting in before.

That sigh was definitely a sigh of relief.

Hayato's father: "You don't need to worry too much about what those idiots say. But why did you say yes to that question?"

"Why... actually sir, there was no reason, it just seemed ridiculous to lie. And since I wouldn't lose anything if I told them, I was honest with them."

He seemed pleased with my answer. A small grin on his face and yes nod of his head clearly showed that he was pleased with my answer.

"Then there's no need to stay here, Hayato will show you where you'll be staying and give you new clothes."

As soon as Hayato heard this, he stood up and put a smile on his face.

I've been told a lot of things, but now you're happy to spend time with me. Maybe he knew his father would intervene, after all he is his father.

Whatever

I put a small smile on my face and said, "Thank you very much, sir. Then I am entrusted to Hayato."

After saying this sentence, I turned to Hayato and all I saw was a big smile.

Ah!..I scared. Every time I turn to this boy, he has a big smile on his face. Why is he always smiling?

Hayato: "Okay then follow me."

I really have a headache... Everything that happened has made me tired. Hayato will continues talking as he walking on the road. Please someone help me!
