Reincarnated Into The World Of A Rape Erotic Game ~ Since The Game World Has Become Reality... I Want To Save The Heroines~ - Chapter 13: Kagurazaka Yuuka ⑥

After the boy collapsed… the park became chaotic for a while. This was because word had spread that a child was lying unconscious with blood flowing from his forehead, and that an attempted kidnapping had occurred.

Naturally, a large number of police officers surrounded both inside and outside the park. The emergency responders who received the call also rushed to the park immediately. The media swarmed in as well, and television reported on this incident for days.

As for Papa, he handed over the maid who had tried to kidnap me to the police and explained what had happened. This was a story from a little after this incident, but the Kanekui guy who had planned this kidnapping died soon after losing his position as a congressman. All the people who were said to be involved in this had also died. Strangely, the cause of death for all of them was illness.

Well, I’d said various things, but none of that mattered. What was important was the boy who had saved me. 

After the emergency personnel arrived at the scene, the boy was immediately placed on a stretcher… put into an ambulance… and taken to the hospital. Mama and I went along too…

And then… emergency surgery. The surgery was successful, but it took three whole days from the surgery until the boy woke up… I still remembered it… That waiting time was abnormally long and long, and I was so worried about the boy that I couldn’t bear it…

And what I could never forget, what was etched in my heart, what I wanted to remember over and over again, was when he woke up.

Because─

“─Yuuka!?!”

The first word he spoke when he woke up was my name…

“I-I’m here, Toyokazu-kun?”

Just having Toyokazu-kun call my name made me feel my face getting hot. As for how I knew his name, it was because I had heard various things from his family…

“…Huh!? Wh-what…? Why am I…? And… why is Kagurazaka… Yuuka… right in front of me???”

When I tried to talk to Toyokazu-kun, my hero, once more, there was someone in the way…

“─Well, it’s good to see you’ve woken up safely.”

“Kagurazaka Yuuka’s… father…?”

“That’s right. It’s only now that I realize we haven’t even introduced ourselves to each other, have we? Let me introduce myself properly. I am Kagurazaka Yusuke. As you probably know, I’m Yuuka’s father and a member of the Diet. You can call me Yuuka’s Papa, or uncle, or whatever you prefer.”

“Um… I… no, I should introduce myself too. I’m Shirosaki Toyokazu. May I… call you Yusuke-san?”

“Ah, of course. First, let me explain your current situation.”

“Ah, yes.”

“After you saved Yuuka, you were brought here by ambulance and underwent surgery. Today marks three days post-surgery. There seemed to be no abnormalities in your brain waves, but you were asleep for three days. Now that you’ve woken up, you should have an examination after this.”

“Yes.”

“The area wrapped in bandages is where you were sutured, so don’t touch it, okay? Also, the swelling on your face from being hit and the torn area on the back of your head will heal with time. Apparently, there won’t be any scars left either.”

“Yes, thank you for the detailed explanation. I see… three whole days… Ah!?”

“What’s wrong!?”

“N-no… it’s just… I must have worried my mother and the others, so I’ll probably get scolded…”

“I’ll apologize together with you and get scolded too. I was the one who took you to the amusement park… I’ve already explained everything to your family.”

“…No… Yusuke-san doesn’t need to go that far…”

“Dear?”

“Papa?”

“Oh, sorry… we’re in the middle of talking, but let me introduce you. This is my wife, Asami.”

“I’m Asami, Yusuke’s wife and Yuuka’s mother.”

“As you probably know, this is the daughter you saved—”

“I’m Yuuka ♡. Nice to meet you, Toyokazu-kun ♡.”

“Ahem. Now that we’ve finished introductions—”

“Wh-what!?”

“…If you hadn’t been there, I don’t know what would have happened to Yuuka… truly… thank you…”

“Thank you so much, Toyokazu-kun. Thanks to you… our daughter was safe… truly… truly, thank you.”

“Th-thank you… Toyokazu-kun.”

Papa, Mama, and I all bowed our heads to Toyokazu-kun at the same time. We didn’t forget to express our gratitude one by one. Since we didn’t raise our heads for quite a while, Toyokazu-kun hurriedly told us to raise our heads…

“A-anyway, please raise your heads! You don’t need to thank me… really! I just wanted to save Yuuka… Besides… if Yusuke-san hadn’t believed me, I wouldn’t have been able to save Yuuka in the first place…”

“…No amount of thanks would be enough… but fine. I don’t want to trouble our benefactor, so let’s leave it at this. Is that alright?”

“Yes, that would make things easier for me too.”

“…This is incredibly rude to say to our benefactor, but… are you really 5 years old? Your way of speaking and thinking… I feel like I’m talking to an adult…”

“Dear!? That’s really rude to say to our benefactor Toyokazu-kun!? He probably just has a mature way of thinking!”

“That’s right! Papa! What are you saying!? That’s rude to Toyokazu-kun! Apologize!”

“S-sorry… I just… accidentally said what I was thinking…?”

“Dear!”

“Papa!”

“S-sorry… I’ll be careful… You don’t both need to get so angry…”

“Well… if I may say so myself… I’m like an adult inside with a child’s appearance, right?”

“Ah! I know that anime!? It’s really popular right now! My favorite character is…? Um, um──”

“Y-Yuuka!? W-wait. I understand you want to talk with Toyokazu-kun, but let Papa have a little more time, okay? I have various things I need to do after this.”

“…Booo~”

“Now, now, Yuuka. Let’s let your father have his turn here, okay? If Toyokazu-kun’s condition is fine after this, you can talk after the examination is over, right?”

“…Okay. I understand.”

“—Now then… I think I should tell you this. We caught the scoundrels who tried to take Yuuka away. And it seems the one who planned it was indeed the person you mentioned. That will take a little time, but I intend to make sure he receives his punishment. Naturally, every single one of the scoundrels who had infiltrated my mansion as well…”

“…I see.”

“I really couldn’t have predicted that those people would pull something like this in the middle of an election.”

“Right.”

“You saved my daughter… no, our family from the clutches of such people. I promise here that I’ll do anything I can for you. Feel free to ask for anything.”

“…Then… if I may take you up on your offer… right away, may I ask for just one thing?”

“What is it? Ask for anything!”

“This might be a bit hard to say since it involves Yuuka-chan’s feelings too… but would it be possible to have Yuuka-chan transfer schools? To the elementary school I attend…”

“!? Th-that is… should I understand that you can still see various things?”

“Yes… that’s right. I think I could help and save her again that way… But as I said earlier, transferring schools involves Yuuka-chan’s will and feelings—” 

“I’ll do it! Papa! I’ll transfer schools! I’ve decided!”

“…Um… is that okay? I hate to say this after suggesting it, but you’ll be separated from your close friends, you know?”

“Toyokazu-kun will be there ♪. Right?”

“Well… I’ll be there, but…”

“Oh my… Yuuka…”

“Hmm… then… shall we start by looking for a house? Is that alright with you too, Asami?”

“Of course, dear. Yuuka seems to want that too.”

“Understood. Then let’s arrange for a house right away. The location will be—” 

“Next to Toyokazu-kun’s house!”

“…as close as possible…”

“Boo~ I want it to be next door~”

“There’s no way a place next door would be conveniently available, right? We’ll make it nearby.”

“…Okay.”

“Ah, also, I’m sorry, Yusuke-san. I know this might seem presumptuous, but may I ask for just one more thing?”

“Of course, that’s fine. The transfer is for Yuuka’s sake, after all. Feel free to ask for as many things as you want.”

“I’d like a way to contact Yusuke-san anytime.”

“I’ll arrange that right away too. I’ll handle explaining things well to your parents. I’ll also take care of the cell phone charges.”

“Thank you.”

“No, we’re the ones who should be thanking you…”

“Papa! I want to contact Toyokazu-kun too!”

“Oh my, Yuuka…”

“…Yes, yes… I understand. I’ll prepare one for Yuuka too. Well then… I should be going now. I’ll have someone deliver the cell phones today. If anything happens, contact me immediately.”

“Thank you, Yusuke-san.”

“We’re the ones who should be thanking you, though.”

“Toyokazu-kun! You can ignore Papa, so let’s talk together ♪.”

“Um… well…”

“Well… that’s how it is. I think Yuuka will cause you trouble, but please take care of her.”

“No, she won’t be trouble… I understand.”

And then Papa left the hospital room. After this, Toyokazu-kun went for an examination just to be safe. After the examination was over, I talked with Toyokazu-kun so much… it was so fun and enjoyable… I visited him almost every day… 

When Toyokazu-kun was sleeping, I would quietly watch his sleeping face without waking him up…

♢♢♢

“—From that time… no… from the moment you saved me… I… fell in love with you at first sight… I’ve always loved you, Toyokazu-kun…”

When Toyokazu-kun was sleeping, I could express my feelings honestly like this…

“I want to keep looking at you like this a little longer, but… I should wake you up soon… shouldn’t I…?”

When I looked at the clock in Toyokazu-kun’s room, it had somehow become time to wake him up.

“Come on ♪. Toyokazu-kun ♡. Wake up…?”

Well, I was able to fully enjoy looking at Toyokazu-kun’s sleeping face, so let’s work hard for another day ♪.
