Honmyo Yutaro hesitated for a long time, then suddenly held his child out to Tetsu no Sosuke. "I know this is asking far too much, but I don't know whether I can survive in a place like this. If something happens to me, then so be it if I die, but my child is still young. Please take her with you. If I die, please look after her for me, or entrust her to a kind family who will adopt her."
Tetsu no Sosuke froze, then shook his head. "If something really does happen, she might be in even more danger with me."
"You have abilities. Even if you run into danger, you'll surely be able to deal with it. But I'm just an ordinary man. I'm nowhere near as capable as you."
Honmyo Yutaro sighed. "I know this is asking far too much, but as a parent, all I want is for my child to be all right. Please, I'm begging you."
Tetsu no Sosuke pondered for a moment, then finally nodded. "All right."
He took the child into his arms, thought for a moment, then removed his Haori and wrapped it around her, securing her against his chest. He wanted to give her a few instructions, but realized he did not know her name.
Honmyo Yutaro hurriedly said, "Her name is Yuko."
"Be good, Yuko," Tetsu no Sosuke said. "Stay right here and don't squirm. If it's uncomfortable, bear with it for now."
Yuko looked at her father, and Honmyo Yutaro nodded vigorously.
Only then did Yuko nod timidly and duck her head.
She was still little and barely understood what was happening around her.
Tetsu no Sosuke glanced at Honmyo Yutaro and sighed softly. "I'll reunite your family."
Good people should not be treated so cruelly in
