Chapter 339: Abandon
"It's pretty much what you imagine, Yui-sama. He also has the blood of the Kirigiri family in his body. He is a detective - that's what he should be like, but he is no longer here."
"Then he was indeed affected by the incident..."
This is one of the mysteries of the Kirigiri family.
The surname Kirigiri was passed down directly from the grandfather to the granddaughter, skipping a generation - the reason for this.
"He died in the line of duty."
"So that's it...I'm sorry..."
"Actually, it's false." Before the girl with glasses could apologize, Kirigiri continued expressionlessly, "If that's true, maybe it would be better, and I would respect him instead of looking down on him. However,
The reality is that he is still alive."
"What, what? He turned out to be alive, which shocked me." Yueyue Yujie tried to pretend to be calm and not to panic, "But then again, how could you look down on him? Isn't he your father...
"
"Abandoning the surname Kirigiri, abandoning the family, and abandoning me, it is impossible for me not to look down on such a person."
"Eh?! Your father ran away from home?"
"Yes, he ran away. Although he was born in the Kirigiri family, he never wanted to become a detective, and finally left everything behind and ran away."
"I see... So you became a detective and inherited the Kirigiri family business, right?"
"yes."
"Where is your father now and what is he doing?"
"He works as a teacher at Hope's Peak Academy."
"Eh? Is it that Hope's Peak Academy?"
The purpose of that extremely famous academy, which is recognized by the government as having privileges, is to recruit high school students with super high school-level talents from all over the country, thereby cultivating the country's future talents.
Although he was a man who abandoned his family and his daughter, he really found an incredible place to settle down.
[It’s ironic that someone who betrayed the Kirigiri family’s talents works in an institution that cultivates talents. But maybe...it’s precisely because he knows the weight of talents that he chooses to educate others. Hey, Kirigiri’s sister’s family
It’s really complicated.]
"But your father doesn't dislike you, right?"
"Who knows. It's just that he often quarrels with my grandfather because of me, and the two of them always argue about my education."
Generally speaking, no child wants to see adults arguing because of him or her.
The reason why she showed such a precocious attitude may also be because that environment forced her to mature, which she understood very well.
There is no doubt that Kirigiri has excellent talents as a detective, but this talent also limits her. This is also true.
The reason why she is so dependent and obedient to the concept of detective is probably because she has always chosen to 'accommodate the environment' in the complex situation of the Kirigiri family.
She is a born detective, but she is just a girl who has no choice but to be a detective.
"It's just... when mother was alive, grandpa and that person didn't argue with each other. Maybe mother's presence eased the conflicts between them."
Kirigiri lowered his eyes and sighed.
"Looking back now, my mother's death may have been the reason why that person had to run away from home, because the Kirigiri family didn't need someone who wasn't a detective."
"How did your mother die?"
