"Chifuyu...?"
"What are you loitering about Kazutora? Get in the car."
"Huh...Ah...eh"
Even though he didn't understand what was going on, Kazutora obeyed Chifuyu's orders and opened the car door and sat in the co-driver's seat. He stopped moving and the car slowly rolled.
How long had it been since he had seen this city? Kazutora had been confined to reformatories and prisons all his life, so this was his first time seeing the bustle of the outside world. His eyes kept looking around, he even pressed his face to the glass window to see the scene from afar.
"Haha, Kazutora. What are you doing ?"
Kazutora's action made Chifuyu laugh.
"You...what are you laughing at ?!!"
His face was red. He growled at Chifuyu like a tiger.
"Haha...sorry. Because of your reaction. By the way Kazutora, where are you going to live from now on ?"
When he asked, he was silent for a moment. He can't go home, because he's not home. He can't even rent a house because he doesn't pay any money ? Kazutora thought that sleeping under the bridge or staying in the park would be fine. Or crawl into some abandoned houses.
"I...don't know. I'll probably hide in some abandoned house or under a bridge..."
Chifuyu looked at Kazutora and said:
"Do you want to stay with me ?"
Hearing him say that, he was startled. He turned to look at him, his eyes fixed on him as if he was checking to see if his car had misheard. His mouth trembled, a little surprised.
Chifuyu sighed
"Don't stress. What's wrong with you ?"
"You...You just told me to live with you ? Someone like me ?! An asshole like me ?! Even if I'm a...human...!"
Kazutora was agitated. He pointed his finger at the person and spoke loudly. The hand pounded on the chest as if asserting himself as a worthless person, even an unpleasant name. He-tiger with pride as high as a mountain peak has caused so much pain, loss, and regret around everyone. He stole Mikey's brother in a flash. And it was his dirty hands that took away Baji - his childhood friend just because of his own cowardly desire. More than anyone else, he knew he was a bad guy, a despicable guy.
And in the end, he hurt the person in front of him-Matsuno Chifuyu. He knew that Baji's death had affected him greatly. That person used to be your everything, priceless to you, how can it be said that letting go is letting go, dying is death? Even so, that person still wanted a murderer like him by his side?
"..."
Chifuyu stopped the car at an alley. He leaned back in his chair and looked at him.
"I know...you're the one I hate the most."
Chifuyu spoke slowly, his voice low but Kazutora heard it clearly.
"But I don't blame you. Everyone deserves a second chance, you too. Besides, Baji-san considers you a treasure, I can't let go of what's important to him. It is even more unacceptable that you will go down the same path as before. So..."
Chifuyu turned his face, he looked at him beside him and said:
"I need you by my side, Kazutora...!"
That day, that lonely tiger was warmed. His smile healed every cut in his heart. Throughout his life lost in the midst of misfortune, Kazutora had found a bright turn. Happiness once abandoned him, but you brought it back to him.
Kazutora clutched his face, tears falling one by one. He grabbed Chifuyu, hugged him tightly and cried like a baby. He kept crying, he kept crying, all his troubles went away.
When he was too tired, he fell asleep without realizing it. Chifuyu gently pushed him back to the seat, then continued to drive home. Who knows, your statement today made him consider him as the whole world, his whole life.
