Chapter IV: The Angel’s Guardian

A foreign-made sedan cruised down the coastal highway, all of the windows rolled down to let the fresh ocean breeze flow in.

“I always love driving down this highway.” the driver, a man in his mid-forties, said. His hair whipped behind him in the wind, and despite his age, he looked quite handsome and young enough to be mistaken as thirty.

This man was Tomoichi Shirasaki, Kaori’s father.

“He he, it does feel nice,” the woman in the front passenger seat said. She was Kaoruko Shirasaki, Kaori’s mother.

The resemblance between the two of them was so strong that it was clear Kaori would look just like her mother when she grew older. Much like Tomoichi, Kaoruko didn’t look at all like she was in her forties.

“Y-You think so too, right, Kaori?” Tomoichi asked, glancing at his daughter through the rearview mirror. He’d been looking back at her constantly, much to the chagrin of his wife, who wanted him to focus on the road.

“......” Kaori said nothing in response. She was wearing a white one-piece dress and a thick cardigan. With her hands neatly in her lap, she looked like the daughter of some rich family. The way she stared out of the window at the ocean was so picturesque that it belonged in a Hollywood movie. Unfortunately, her expression ruined the otherwise perfect image. It wasn’t that she hadn’t heard her father, but she was purposely ignoring him. That much was clear from the frown on her face.

Tomoichi cleared his throat and once more tried to catch his daughter’s attention.

“I’ve always wanted a beachfront house. Maybe we should move—”

“Over my dead body,” Kaori said, and Tomoichi let out a small groan. Still, he refused to give up.

“Y-You’re the one who always complained that you didn’t want to go back every time we came here. You’ll be able to live closer to Sakura-oneechan too. Don’t you think—?”

“If you want to move, then you can do it. I’m staying.”

“That’s too cruel, Kaori!” Tomoichi exclaimed, turning back to Kaori. Naturally, the car started to swerve, and Kaoruko slapped him, forcing him to look back at the road in front of him.

In a stern voice, she said, “Dear?” and Tomoichi immediately apologized. He knew how terrifying his wife’s wrath could be. Much like Kaori, Kaoruko’s rage was a sight to behold.

“Come now, dear, there’s no way Kaori would want to move, especially since Shizuku-chan isn’t going anywhere.”

“Y-You have a point, but...I still think it’s a good idea...” Tomoichi grumbled to himself.

Right now, the Shirasaki family was heading to the house where Tomoichi’s parents and older brother lived. His older brother had a daughter named Sakura, who was four years older than Kaori. She’d always been a very mature girl, and Kaori had always looked up to her like an older sister. As an only child, Kaori had always wanted siblings, and Sakura had been the closest thing to one.

Tch, I thought if I brought up Sakura-chan, I might be able to change Kaori’s mind.
