"Concentrate!" Komemon Seizo reminded, his tone was stern, but his voice was unconsciously softer, as if he was afraid of scaring his granddaughter.
Xiao Ai quickly came back to her senses and began to listen carefully to his explanation of standing postures, knife holding postures, moving postures and some disassembly movements.
The kendo teaching lasted for more than half an hour, and the sun gradually became a little brighter. Gumeimon Qingzang stopped in time, and then returned to the study with his granddaughter.
"Not bad." Xiao Ai nodded slightly. She wasn't really interested in Kendo itself, but this kind of daily interaction between grandfather and grandson was very special to her.
"Then how about coming over next week to learn? In the stage of laying the foundation, you still have to persevere." Komemon Kiyozō asked as calmly as possible.
"Won't it delay your work?" Xiao Ai asked.
"There is still some time." Gu Meimen Qingzang said casually.
"That's good."
"Yeah." Gu Meimen Qingzang nodded, paused, and then said:
"I asked someone to prepare some snacks. Although there is still some time before noon and it is not time to eat, but since you have exercised, you can still add some appropriately."
"Okay." Xiao Ai replied, and the study fell into silence again.
Whether it is the way they get along or the way they talk, it is difficult to say that they are a normal grandfather and granddaughter.
But even so, this unusual daily routine made the two of them feel a touch of warmth.
After a while, there was a knock on the study door and snacks were brought in.
"Sandwich?" Xiao Ai was a little stunned when she saw the "snacks" placed in front of her.
After normal exercise, should I supplement protein? What about the sandwich?
"Don't you like eating?" Gumeimon Qingzang couldn't help but asked when he saw this.
"No, I'm just a little surprised." Xiao Ai shook her head, picked it up and looked at it, becoming more suspicious, and then took a bite, finally confirming her suspicion.
Not only a sandwich, but also her favorite peanut butter and blueberry jam sandwich...
Even the peanut butter and blueberry jam inside are imported from the federal government rather than produced locally, and the taste of the two is obviously different.
She used to eat it often when she was in the Federation, so she was very familiar with the taste and could easily distinguish it.
This means that you have already known your preferences and prepared them for you to eat, right?
Xiao Ai was a little dazed. She raised her head and glanced at Gu Meimen Qingzang who was drinking tea, then lowered her head and continued eating the sandwich.
While sipping tea and watching his granddaughter eat, Gu Meimon Kiyozou's expression softened unconsciously.
A few minutes later, after finishing the food and drinking almost all the tea, Komemon Seizo spoke again.
"Now that you have rested, let's continue working and studying."
"good."
The old man and the young man sat back at the desk and began to work on their own.
Time passed quietly like this, until the phone on the table suddenly rang, and Gu Meimon Qingzang reached out to answer the call.
"Which one?"
"I'm very sorry to disturb your rest, Chief Prosecutor, I'm Miki."
"Is something wrong?" Gu Meimen Qingzang glanced at Xiao Ai next to him, and then asked, "What happened to that guy Kensuke again?"
"He has accepted a commission. I thought you might be interested in it, so I made this call to tell you about it."
"Oh?" Komemon Kiyozō didn't think that Lawyer Miki was fooling around. When Ken received a commission, he always came to make a report. The other party was a smart person and would not be so imprudent.
Then, this commission is probably quite special.
Lawyer Miki didn't dare to sell things off, and explained directly: "He accepted the commission to help a little girl sever the relationship with her mother."
Gu Meimen Qingzang's expression paused, and the aura of a superior person became stronger. It seemed that the grandfather who doted on his granddaughter just now but refused to admit it was all an illusion.
"Details."
Lawyer Miki quickly explained the whole story in detail.
Mei Yasunaga, a 12-year-old child star, nearly died suddenly from acute alcohol poisoning at a karaoke party with a male college student.
Her mother is the president of her personal agency. She worships money and spends money. Her private life is chaotic. She is suspected of driving her daughter to film movies day and night out of selfish desires.
In short, Mei Yasunaga said that she was fed up with the days of non-stop filming and making smiles everywhere, and decided to cut off the relationship with her mother.
After Miki finished speaking, he added: "After my investigation, those magazine reports saying that Yasunaga Mei's mother used her daughter as a slave for selfish purposes were published by lawyer Gu Meimen.
I personally think that Mei Anaga’s mother does have a bad lifestyle problem, but her feelings for her daughter are unquestionable.
Moreover, no matter what, it is a bit excessive to terminate the relationship between mother and daughter because of this, but Lawyer Gu Meimen seems to be a bit too persistent in this commission..."
Gu Meimen Qingzang was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then replied, "I understand."
"Then I'll hang up now. I'm sorry for disturbing your rest." Lawyer Miki said and hung up the phone.
Kumemon Seizo put on the microphone, sighed, and turned to look at his granddaughter, "You heard everything, right? What do you think?"
Xiao Ai thought for a moment and replied: "The amendment to the Civil Code has been implemented. Now minors have the right to apply for removal or suspension of the guardianship relationship. Legally speaking, it is in compliance with the process.
However, there seems to be no precedent for this kind of case. He wants to set a record and win the title of the first case in history in this field to add to his record, right?"
Komemon Kiyozō couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "Yes, both the familiarity with the laws and the understanding of the guy who was introduced are very good.
So... in this case, do you think the mother and daughter should be cut off from each other?"
Xiao Ai was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said slowly: "Although I haven't learned more details about the situation, I haven't experienced what they have experienced, so saying this may seem like sarcastic remarks.
But...have things really come to a point where this has to be the case?
Mother and daughter can live together. This is something that is taken for granted in the eyes of ordinary people and does not deserve special treatment. In fact, it may also be a kind of miracle..."
Gu Meimen Qingzang's hand trembled, and he slowly raised it, placed it on Xiao Ai's head, and stroked it twice without saying anything else.
It's all Kensuke's fault that this child has been without a mother since he was a child.
But...if he thought about it carefully, Kensuke's mother and Shizuo's mother both left early, so he had no right to blame them.
After a long while, he suddenly said, "Want to experience what it's like to go to court?"
"What?" Xiao Ai looked up in confusion.
Koumemon Seizo explained: "This kind of case will be questioned privately in the family court. If you are interested, you can participate."
