Chapter 78: My Name is... Yukinoshita Ayame
The child in front of her... why did she feel so familiar?
"What is your name, and why are you here?"
Yukinoshita Yukino asked again.
"I... I..."
The Little Girl mumbled; however, looking at her, it wasn't that she was unwilling to answer, but rather that her emotions were so turbulent that she couldn't speak.
"You..."
Yukinoshita Yukino was about to say something, but noticing the other's trembling body, she thought for a moment and decided to calm down first. Thus, she chose to slowly sit back on the bed, though her gaze never left the Little Girl who had suddenly appeared in her wardrobe.
After a while, Yukinoshita Yukino noticed that the Little Girl's emotions seemed to have stabilized, so she seriously gathered her thoughts and continued to ask.
"What is your name, and why are you in my wardrobe?"
Just now, Yukinoshita Yukino had also sensed that the other's emotions were unstable, so in order to get some answers, she chose to keep her tone as gentle as possible.
Hearing Yukinoshita Yukino's words, the Little Girl's body tensed up again, then as if thinking of something, she quickly shook her head.
"Forget it, her appearing here is already incomprehensible, how could I expect to get any answers? Better just call the Police..."
Yukinoshita Yukino thought to herself, picking up the phone placed by her bedside.
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to say anything, I'll call the Police. When the time comes, tell them directly if you want to go home or find your mom and dad..."
"Don't... don't call the Police."
Seeing Yukinoshita Yukino's movements, the Little Girl hurriedly waved her hands and said.
"If you don't want me to call the Police, then answer my questions first."
Seeing the Little Girl's panicked expression, for some reason, Yukinoshita Yukino's original intention to call the Police gradually faded.
Was it because the Little one in front of her was just a Little Girl and posed no threat? Or was it because she was too bored at night and wanted to waste some time? Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't say for sure herself; perhaps there were other reasons.
"My name is Yukinoshita Ayame."
The Little Girl spoke hesitantly.
"Yukinoshita???"
Hearing the name the Little Girl spoke and seeing the conflicted expression on her face, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly felt as if she was being played.
"It seems I shouldn't have hesitated just now."
Yukinoshita Yukino said this as she picked up the phone again.
"I'm not lying!"
Seeing Yukinoshita Yukino's actions, Yukinoshita Ayame seemed to be triggered by something and shouted out loudly.
"You say your name is Yukinoshita Ayame, what proof do you have? And you still haven't answered why you're in my house."
Yukinoshita Yukino asked this, her hand stopping at the dial pad. The three digits "110" had already been entered, but she hesitated to press the call button.
"My name is Yukinoshita Ayame, and I don't know why I'm in your house either. I was clearly at home waiting for Daddy to come back, and then in the blink of an eye, I somehow ended up here..."
As Yukinoshita Ayame spoke, she couldn't help but feel a sense of grievance. If it were her father, he certainly wouldn't speak to her like this. Moreover, looking at the somewhat familiar woman in front of her, Yukinoshita Ayame already had a suspicion, but she couldn't help but ask.
"I've told you my name, what about you? What's your name?"
"I am Yukinoshita Yukino."
At this moment, Yukinoshita Yukino was undergoing brainstorming, so she answered without thinking after hearing Yukinoshita Ayame's question.
"As I thought!"
Upon hearing this name, a flash of joy crossed Yukinoshita Ayame's eyes, but it was followed by a mix of anger and disgust, as if she had seen someone she loathed.
"Why are you looking at me like that? This should be our first time meeting."
Sensing an inexplicable gaze, Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Yukinoshita Ayame hiding in the wardrobe. She didn't understand why, in their first meeting, the other would show such a look, as if... she were her enemy.
"No... it's nothing..."
Hearing Yukinoshita Yukino's question, Yukinoshita Ayame instantly looked away, her face showing a hint of guilt.
"This..."
Seeing so many varied expressions on Yukinoshita Ayame's face, even Yukinoshita Yukino didn't know what words to use to express her current feelings.
"Forget it. Regarding what you just said, can you be more specific? What do you mean by 'in the blink of an eye, I somehow ended up in my house'? This joke isn't funny."
Yukinoshita Yukino said with a frown.
"Then can you explain the phenomenon of how I passed through layers of security, located your home through precise floor positioning, and finally entered without a key?"
Hearing Yukinoshita Yukino's question, Yukinoshita Ayame also retracted her expressions and said coldly.
"I..."
Hearing Yukinoshita Ayame's words, Yukinoshita Yukino was momentarily at a loss for words. In fact, she couldn't explain this series of problems through science either.
"Was it my sister or mother who brought you here..."
"I don't know them."
Before Yukinoshita Yukino could finish, she was interrupted by Yukinoshita Ayame.
This feeling of being interrupted was very unpleasant; even though Yukinoshita Yukino was well-bred, at this moment she felt an impulse to lose her composure.
This Little one in front of her was very strange!
That was Yukinoshita Yukino's first impression.
But as for what exactly was strange, she couldn't say.
"The eyes... that's it! The eyes!"
As if triggered by a keyword, Yukinoshita Yukino took another serious look at Yukinoshita Ayame's appearance—the fair skin, the cute little face, and those navy blue eyes... she looked just like she did as a child.
"Tell me the truth, are you hiding something from me?"
Yukinoshita Yukino thought for a moment and then asked.
"No."
Yukinoshita Ayame said decisively.
"If you continue to hide it, I'll have no choice but to call the Police."
Yukinoshita Yukino said.
"I... what do you want to know?"
After a moment of silence, Yukinoshita Ayame asked slowly.
"I want to know your parents' names, and you should know the significance of the surname Yukinoshita."
Yukinoshita Yukino brushed the hair from her forehead, gazed into Yukinoshita Ayame's eyes, and spoke slowly.
