Ito Mie rubbed her tears on the back of her hand and said with a sob: "I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to ask them..."

I didn't reply. I couldn't promise anything to her, nor did I want to promise. I promised to come to see her, but I didn't want to owe Yagyu a favor.

All my connections with her were broken as soon as the knife fell, and I could not connect with her long hair.

After a long time, Mie Ito asked me with dried tears: "Why, are you so kind to Kika? Because she looks like Yukimura? Or do you like her so much because she is Yukimura's sister?"

I shook my head and said, "It has nothing to do with Yukimura. I treat Kika as my sister."

"Sister?" Ito Mie suddenly laughed, and then said in an extremely sad tone: "You treat Kika as your sister, but you have never treated me as your sister..."

I just said calmly: "Did you ever treat me as your sister?"

Ito Mie looked up at me and smiled bitterly: "Yes, I never regarded you as my sister. At that time, I hated you so much and wanted you to disappear, so I deliberately made things difficult for you, just wanting you to disappear.

In my world…”

Ito Mie lowered her head slightly, not knowing where she was, but she kept saying, her voice was very light, as if she was talking to herself: "... At that time, I thought, I hated you because you are my father and goodbye

The daughter of a woman, so I hated you so much when I saw you for the first time. But after thinking about it carefully, I realized that I hated you because I was jealous of you!”

My eyebrows trembled and I was a little stunned.

Ito Mie didn't look up, but seemed to feel my surprise. She smiled bitterly and said, "Is it strange? At the beginning, I didn't believe it either. I obviously have better than you, I have a complete family,

A noble status, a brother who loves me, and a companion who spoils me... But when I saw you for the first time, I was jealous. You will never know that your indifferent smile was watching me

Come on, how free you are. You don’t have to pay attention to anything or care about anything. Even if you like Jingshi, you dare to pursue it so presumptuously... What I am jealous is your freedom."

"Freedom?" I frowned and asked. Is what Ito Mie always wants, freedom?

"Yes, freedom." Ito Mie's face was full of loneliness: "At that time, I was the eldest daughter of the Ito family, the only sister of Yagyu Hiroshi, and the girlfriend of Yukimura Sei-shi.

Identity is enough to make all the girls in Lihaida jealous. But who knows that I have never been truly free from the beginning, and even the happy smiling faces with them are pretending.”

"You..." I asked why, but she didn't give me a chance to interrupt.

"My mother gave birth to me just wanted me to inherit the famous sword. When I was very young, I knew that my mother had always hated that I was not a boy, so I wanted to do everything better than boys. I wanted my mother to like it.

Me. Later, I finally got my mother's affirmation, so she quietly took me to Yamaguchi Group. Since I was taken to my grandfather's secret room at the age of seven, I have started to learn martial arts and deception. Since then, my

Live in disguise every day.”

Ito Mie looked up at me: "Do you know how painful it is to live with a mask? I am like a perfect doll, only doing something that everyone likes, and doing expressions that everyone likes.

. And behind my back, I have to work harder than others to get the affirmation of my mother and grandfather and win their favor. I also have to hide everything from my father and grandfather at home...I

Every word I say is a deception. I hate kendo, but I have to say I like it. I want to play like everyone else, but I have to say I like reading and quiet... Can you understand this feeling

?”

"So, you want freedom?" After hearing her words, I realized it. Ito Miei was just a tool that Yamaguchi wanted to use to reclaim the famous sword. Ito Kumiko didn't give birth to a boy, so she could only take everything.

All my expectations were placed on Mie Ito.

"If, I am really the doll I created myself, if, I am not jealous of you, maybe, I am always happy now..."

My eyes were cold: "But, that's fake after all!"

"Yes, fake. All my beauty and pride are actually fake. Even my own heart and my feelings can't tell the truth or fake. I once thought,

I was just a show of Jingshi. Every word I said to him was in the language of the doll. However, when he broke up with me, my heart was really hurting, really hurting

ah!"

Ito Mie looked sad, as if she was asking why. Why did the false love really hurt?

I couldn't help but turn my head away. I couldn't answer her question.

"If." She said: "If, I accepted you from the beginning and really treated you as my sister. Will you... help me?"

I looked at her and answered seriously: "Yes! But there is no if in this world."

"You are always so cruel to me." Ito Mie smiled desolately: "Thank you for coming to see me."

At this point, it's time for Mie Ito to meet me, and next is my purpose of meeting her.

"Do you know where your mother is being locked up?" I asked.

Mie Ito raised her head in shock: "My mother? She was also locked up?"

"This is the news that I have to do, but I only found you."

"Why? Why do even my mother need to be locked up? It's just me who wants to get married, but why do even my mother need to be locked up?" Ito Miei couldn't understand at all.

I frowned, as if Mie Ito had no idea what happened to the Ito family.

"Do you know why you were locked up?" I asked.

"Because I don't want to get married, my father asked me to lock me up, afraid that I will run away from marriage!" Ito Mie replied quickly.

"Your grandpa Ito Qingren Shuomaru was also under house arrest, do you know?"

Mie Ito was shocked by the news I said again: "Grandpa is also under house arrest? How is this possible? Who dares to do this?"

"Of course it's Masahiro Ito. Ito's family is completely up to Masahiro Ito." I told it truthfully.

Mie Ito thought about it for a while, then looked at me with a serious face, and sat upright at the same time: "Please tell me what happened in the Ito family? Please!"

This is the purpose of my visit. So I told her everything I knew without hiding, and also told her about my speculations and Grandpa Yanagi.

Finally, I said to her: "I have already told you everything I can tell you. As for how to do it, it depends on your own. You should know the old grudge between Yamaguchi and me, so there is Yamaguchi.

, Even if I want to inform you, I can’t do anything.”

Mie Ito nodded and said, "I know, my grandfather is suspicious. He can't meet you, and he can't believe you. He actually doesn't believe anyone except me and my mother."

My eyes darkened. No one believed it. In other words, none of the people who were fighting in the Yamaguchi group were the confidants of the old man Yamaguchi? The old man Yamaguchi was able to lead the largest gang in Japan to firmly sit in the position of the boss for so many years

, and he is indeed a person who is hidden deep.

After looking at the star position outside the window, the star of the star rose and it was about to light soon.

"I'm back." I got up, walked out of the room, and stopped looking at her again.

"elder sister."

I was stunned for a moment, and after all, I didn't look back. Before I stepped, I heard a low voice behind me: "Goodbye."

When I returned to the branch of the tree, Conan was already impatient. Before I stood firm, I heard him ask dissatisfiedly: "Why have you been there for so long?"

I deliberately smiled and said, "It's not convenient for a girl to say private words, boys to ask!"

"Murong!"

Seeing that the brother was about to get angry, I quickly became serious: "Ito Miei didn't know what the Ito family changed. She always thought that she was under house arrest by Ito Masahiro because she didn't want to get married."

Conan looked up at me and said, "Then have you told her about the Ito family and Yamaguchi team?"

"Yeah." I nodded: "I told her everything I knew. As for what to do, it depends on her own."

"Would she choose whether to help the Ito family or Yamaguchi group?" Conan looked at me squintly: "You asked her to make this choice, really don't you want to make things difficult for her?"

I spread my hands: "I give her enough power to choose what I want most. Instead of trying my best to convince her to help us deal with Masahiro Ito, it is better to let her choose which side to maintain."

This time, I gave her absolute freedom, but this freedom is not what she thought, as she thought.

When people are in the world, they can’t help but have some choices. Even if they don’t want to, they can’t help themselves.

After I went back, I made a meal as promised to feed the group. Then I took them to Kanagawa for a walk. Conan was a little unhappy because he had been squatting for a night but he didn't sleep, but the others were playing.

Have a lot of fun.

A few days later, news came from the Yagyu family. Ito Mie committed suicide.

When I got the news, I held my phone and was stunned for a long time. In the end, I just sighed.

Ito Mie finally chose Yamaguchi Group and her mother. I was not surprised by this, but I didn’t expect that she would use such a decisive method.

The cicadas in summer are noisy, but it also shows the quietness of this summer.

I sat in the corridor of the courtyard, looking at the koi in the pond in the yard. I thought to myself, I really don’t like Ito Mie. I never agree with her thoughts and her actions.

Looking up, I looked at the white flowing clouds slowly floating in the blue sky. I remembered Zhang Wuliu's white clothes and the words he said lightly when he picked up the wine glass that day: "If a person gives up his life, he will do his own thing.
