Chapter 107 105. Memories of the Kyoto Succubus (27): Saotome Hazuki's Monologue
At the age of 1, you were born, a girl.
In the winter of the New Year, because of your birth, your grandfather automatically abdicated and your father became the new president of the Crescent Moon Group.
In the midsummer, your mother held you in her arms as you slept soundly in your cradle, and your father held your mother in his arms.
After waking up from a nap, you called them "Dad" and "Mom", and the young men and women were ecstatic.
At 2 years old, you can walk.
Mother was happy all day long, taking you to the yard to step on the cherry blossom petals over and over again.
"Xiaoyue, be good and finish the walk~
"Mom wishes Xiaoyue to walk on a flowery path all her life...
"Wow! Xiaoyue is awesome! Mommy loves Xiaoyue the most!"
You cross the finish line and fall into the arms of a woman in a purple kimono. Her scent is more fragrant than cherry blossoms, and her warmth is warmer than the sun.
Father sat under the cherry tree drinking, looking at you and your daughter lovingly.
At the age of 3, you have started to learn earlier than other children and can already remember things.
You held your mother's soft hand, pointed at the flowers in the corner that were clustered together like a necklace and wrapped around the branches like bunches of grapes, and asked your mother what they were.
Your mother squatted down, touched your head affectionately, and smiled gently: "Xiaoyue, that is wisteria. Its flower language is persistent waiting and deep longing..."
You looked up at your mother and asked innocently, "Mom, are you missing Dad?"
Since the beginning of this year, just after your third birthday, your father has rarely spent time with you and your mother.
All you know is that by taking off a piece of clothing, you and your mother will be able to see your father again.
You heard from your mother and the maids that your father was at work.
In the end, Mom didn't respond to your question.
At the age of 5, you are already able to gradually understand your identity and what status and power in your family represent.
In the courtyard of your home, wherever you go, there will be a personal maid guarding you carefully to prevent you from getting hurt in the slightest.
"I will always and forever protect Lady Yeyue." The personal maid will always express her loyalty by your bedside.
You lie on the bed, looking at the other person's determined eyes, pretty face and warm smile, without saying anything, and close your eyes and go to sleep.
Even though you may not understand much at this young age, you know that your mother is the person who loves you the most in the world.
Mom, you’re the best!
As for the father?
He seemed to be even busier. Now that you were able to manage your time, you calculated that you could see your father about once a month.
Your memories of your father are fragmentary and very vague.
He is more like an identity and a symbol.
You love your mother the most and don't want to see her feeling lonely and sad alone in the empty room every night, so you will insist on sleeping with her two out of three nights.
Because of your presence, the sadness in my heart is diluted.
At the age of 7, you reached school age and enrolled in an aristocratic girls' school.
Students, teachers, even the academy's chairman and other miscellaneous staff are all women.
You suddenly realize that you have never had any contact with any other male except your father and grandfather, and you have no physical contact with even your father and grandfather.
But you are just curious and don't care about these.
What you look forward to most is the time after school every afternoon so that you can rush home to see your mother as soon as possible!
And in the academy, you once again witnessed the strength of your family's status and power, and the prestige they brought you.
No matter where you go, there will be people who respect you and flatter you, regardless of gender, age or seniority. Almost no children of the same age dare to confront you.
On the contrary, they try every means to get close to you and want to be friends with you.
When you got home, the maids all praised you for making so many friends, but your mother just rubbed your head and said, "Xiaoyue will find true friends~"
At that time you didn't understand what your mother meant.
As for your father, you can only see him again when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, there are fireworks displays on summer nights, when the maple leaves fall, and during the New Year.
But you won’t care too much whether he exists or not, or appears or not.
All you need is a mother, that's enough...
When you were 10 years old, in early spring, you heard some bad rumors in the academy.
When you once again won the first place in the class exam, a little brat from the Mizunotsuki family who always quarreled with you got so angry that he jumped up and down and mocked you in person:
"Humph! You, don't be so proud! You may not know yet, but I overheard the conversation between my father and grandfather last night!
"You [Crescent Group] are in big trouble now! You have offended the commander of the aircraft carrier fleet!
"Hehe~ According to your family's usual behavior, you must definitely send this woman to the headquarters to apologize!
"You are the only girl in your family now. Although you are a little young, who else could it be besides you?
"Could it be your mother?"
Even though what kept echoing in your mind was your mother's encouragement that you get along well with your classmates, you were still faced with the provocation from the little brat Mizunotsuki.
You couldn't help it, so you punched her in the nose until blood spurted out, and then you pinned her down.
The two maids pulled you apart, and you looked at the little brat crying loudly, with tears and blood streaming down his face.
I felt inexplicably happy and my body was trembling slightly.
You are excited.
That day, you didn't return home in time and were detained at school along with the little brat from Mizunoe's family.
Two months later, you saw your father again.
You couldn't see the expression on his face, he just asked you to bow and apologize, and you did so.
The parents of the little kid across the street accepted it with gloomy faces and took their daughter home.
When you came home, your father spanked your palms for the first time. He spanked you ten times, and your palms felt like ants were drilling into your flesh and were festering and painful like fire.
You lay in your mother's arms, and your mother carefully applied ointment to you and hummed a song to coax you.
In front of your mother, you have always been a child who has not grown up.
"Mom...will Xiaoyue be sent to some headquarters?"
Lying in her arms, you didn’t notice your mother’s face suddenly becoming stiff and pale, you only heard her gentle voice:
“No, my mother went to Amami-naka-cho to pray to the gods.
"Xiaoyue will walk on a flowery path and live a happy life."
"Xiaoyue only wants her mother..."
"…Okay, Mom is here."
You were coaxed to sleep by your mother.
After that, you are concerned but not worried.
Mom said you wouldn't be sent away, you believed mom.
It turned out that what mom said was absolutely right, because it was not you who was sent to the headquarters, but your mom.
At the age of 10, in early summer, after days of crying in despair, you confronted your father.
"Why! Why!! Give my mother back to me!!!"
There was heavy rain outside, with lightning and thunder.
You knelt in front of the man, your voice hoarse, and you shouted at him with all your strength. Lightning flashed across the sky of rain and clouds, which looked like the end of the world, reflecting the hideousness of your cute face.
The thin man in black haori sat behind the desk, closed his eyes and said:
"For the Crescent Moon Group."
"So you can do such a thing!? How dare you! How dare you!
"I will kill you! I will definitely kill you!!"
No matter how loudly you scream or how hideous your face is, the words and tone you speak have no deterrent effect at all.
For the first time, you feel heart-wrenching helplessness, like a freshwater fish sealed in plastic wrap and released into the sea, where even breathing becomes a luxury.
"Ye Yue, you have to know that everything you enjoy now is all dependent on the [New Moon Group], your food, clothing, and your prominent status.
"As long as you frown, someone will kneel at your feet and do everything they can to please you; as soon as you open your mouth to express your dissatisfaction, the people who depend on you will all be silent, for fear of bringing bad luck to you...
"In Kyoto, in Kansai, in the island country, you are already at the top of the pyramid, but...
"Ye Yue, you must remember that there are people who are better at reincarnation than you, and some are more powerful than the [New Moon Group], so powerful that we need to rely on them to survive...
"When I was 9 years old, my sister, your aunt, was served to the table like a delicious fish on a plate.
"When you become the new master of the Crescent Moon Group, your son or daughter will inevitably become like you now and me in the past...
"And you, Ye Yue, will also become who I am now."
You knelt down with your head down, and understood what the man meant, but you chose not to forgive!
Amid the rumbling thunder, the thin man in the haori opened his eyes, and there was no one in front of him.
"Everything for the Crescent Moon Group..." He clenched his hands tightly and did not loosen them for a moment.
You finally found a guy who is two-faced and hypocritical.
Not only that, she also made outrageous remarks about your mother in private.
It hits your bottom line.
And in the academy, those "innocent" little girls who pestered you and wanted to be your friend were causing you a lot of annoyance.
Their personalities and ways of dealing with people are so annoying that you can see the obvious disgust on their faces, but they still come up to you and greet you with a smile.
So funny!
You remember what your mother once said and understand what she meant.
Since this is the case, you use various methods to torture them and test their friendship. Sure enough, one by one they change their faces and stop bothering you.
Now that you have grown up, your figure has fully developed and you look even prettier and more beautiful than your mother.
You are still attending a private aristocratic junior high school, which is a co-educational school.
There are many boys who like you, but no one dares to put love letters in your shoe cabinet, and no one dares to confess to you.
They don't even dare to look at you for another second.
Because anyone who takes the lead in doing these things will end up in a more miserable situation than the last.
You don't need to care about their origins, as long as they are not killed, there is a man who will cover them anyway.
You felt that this was not enough, so you asked your maid to dress up in disguise and go to the mixed streets of Kyoto to sting the law enforcement, while you sat in the car and watched the show.
The key to fishing is that only those who are willing to take the bait will do so. The hooks are obvious and the bait is salty. There are also those who are so bold that they use the small ones to control the big ones.
This shows that they do all kinds of evil in their daily lives.
You feel sincerely happy because the social order in the Kyoto area has become better through your hands.
Maybe you are used to watching fishing and you want to try fishing yourself.
A country girl made her debut in high school!
The performance went unexpectedly smoothly~ As expected, someone took the bait.
But that male student named Toru Watanabe seemed to be shining so brightly that it hurt your eyes.
For some reason, you found that everyone around you, regardless of gender, especially girls, couldn't help but look at Toru Watanabe.
Even you yourself are no exception.
You, a "country girl", made a good friend named Ozawa Natsumi. You thought she put everything aside and only paid attention to you, which is why she was willing to be friends with you.
So you try to get along with her.
Then you find that in order to gain the favor of Toru Watanabe, she does not hesitate to slander and belittle you in front of Toru Watanabe.
This is not Toru Watanabe's fault and has nothing to do with him.
It's completely your fault that you are pinning your slim hopes on someone who is not worthy.
In your eyes, Natsumi Ozawa is already filled with black lines, and all you need is an excuse and opportunity to explode.
As for Watanabe, Toru Watanabe...
You feel particularly unbelievable because you find that you are unable to reject or refuse his advances and contact.
You gradually couldn't take your eyes off him.
Sitting behind his seat, you can smell the pleasant and seductive scent emanating from him, penetrating deep inside and arousing the primitive throbbing.
For the first time, you were moved.
Just smelling the scent of the boy in front of me, Toru Watanabe...
You used to not understand why most people would throw away all reason and not care about anything when they saw a woman, just like animals in heat...
Now you look at Toru Watanabe in front of you and feel that you are no different from them.
The only difference is that they can do it with any woman, but you only have feelings for Toru Watanabe.
Through the vast information search of [New Moon Group], you learned about the origins of Toru Watanabe.
The corners of his mouth smiled contemptuously. It turned out that she was the favorite of the sixth-generation priest and the seventh-generation priestess of Hidaka Shrine...
You think it is dirty, so you don't need to pay attention to it and just use it casually.
They can use it if they want, so why can't you?
It's just a toy.
You couldn't wait to use the same method as Mari Hidaka, Haruka Hoshimi and others, threatening Toru Watanabe to satisfy yourself.
This is one of the biggest mistakes you will ever make, and you will regret it more than once in your life.
After just a few days of love, you realize that the beautiful boy Watanabe Toru, whom you briefly possessed, is like the most deadly poison in the world, hooking you and making you not want to leave him for even a moment.
In order to verify how deep your poisoning is, you try to separate from him. But in just two short nights, it's like tens of millions of ants are scratching your body and flesh, making you miserable and your mind filled with only the image of Toru Watanabe.
You gave up struggling.
At the same time, you don’t know what to do.
You try to make amends and redeem the relationship, but you are unwilling to be too humble and servile, wanting to use what you think are the most sincere heart and words to gain back his initiative and love.
As expected, he was rejected by Toru Watanabe.
This has always been you, Saotome Hazuki, right?
"Saotome Hazuki" is one of the most written about female characters. After some thought, I think it would be better to have a separate chapter for her.
Thanks for the reward from [One Knife Breaks Billions of Laws]
