"What's up? Why asking me suddenly?"
"The monster killed children. Even a baby in victims. If you love Riri(李理) so much, please think about rage and sorrow of the parents whose lovely child was killed."
"It's of course I am ......"
Seika(清花) interrupted Eiko(瑛庚)'s speaking.
"No. I know. You cannot make a decision."
It's true, so, Eiko(瑛庚) could do nothing but keep silent. Certainly, Eiko(瑛庚) wasn't able to do. You may say that he's hesitant.
"Why do you need hesitation? Is mercy really necessary for the monster that cruelly killed innocent people?"
Seika(清花) said so, and Eiko(瑛庚) smiled wryly uncontrollably.
"This is not a problem of mercy."
"If you say it's not a problem of mercy, why don't you determine the death penalty to him? If the monster didn't kill Shunryo(駿良) but Riri(李理), what do you do? --"
"It is not such a matter either."
Eiko(瑛庚) said as if admonishing his young wife. Seika(清花) was Eiko(瑛庚)'s second wife. His wife looked 20 years younger than he in appearance, but, actually she was nearly 80 years younger.
"Well, what kind of problem do you think it is?"
Seika(清花)'s face hardened. These days, he frequently saw this kind of her face.
"...... The law isn't applied in emotion though you might not understand easily."
"Then, do you say that monster is in the right?"
"That is not it. -- The act of Shudatsu(狩獺) is unpardonable, and there would be no room for showing mercy. I understand your anger and people's anger very well. I also detest Shudatsu(狩獺) just as you. The capital punishment is not such an easy thing that you kill him because of not being able to forgive him."
Though he had said as calm and soft as possible, Seika(清花)'s face just was harder and harder. She shot a fierce look to Eiko(瑛庚).
"You do always treat me like foolish and unreasonable person."
Her voice was icy and low.
"Not at --"
'all', he tried to keep speaking but Seika(清花) cut in.
"Lately in Shiso(芝草), do you know the cases that child disappears continue?"
"I've heard rumors. But, it is not Shudatsu(狩獺)'s attack."
I know, Seika(清花)'s voice was sharpened.
"Do you think me such a terrible fool? Shudatsu(狩獺) is already in the prison, so he has absolutely no responsibility for them. What I'm saying, recently in Shiso(芝草), such unpleasant crimes happen and happen."
