Although she was so scared by Hannibal's sudden big move that her heart almost jumped out of her chest, Issou had to admit,
This was not without its benefits.
At least she knew that the Hannibal she knew and the Hannibal she knew were not the same Hannibal,
And she no longer had to worry and hesitate about how to get along with him.
Seeing Issou, who seemed to have put down a huge burden in her heart,
Hannibal, who came out of the restroom with her, couldn't help but laugh,
He said, "Actually, I want to know, if I didn't tell you directly, what would you have done? Issou. "
"That's a good question."
Issou recalled what happened last night,
Knowing that her neighbor, Mr. Lecter, was Hannibal was one thing,
Heavy! Point! Yes! Before she knew, she had happily agreed to explore with him after "my Chinese restaurant" was on holiday! Ask! Cook! Art!
Issou: "..."
She felt like she had dug a hole for herself.
And it was the kind of hole where she was going to bury herself alive.
Fortunately, before she buried herself to death, Hannibal dug her out,
But..
Issou turned to look at Hannibal. She asked in a low voice, "You're just taking revenge, right? You won't do anything to anyone else? "
"Yes."
Hannibal met Issou's clear eyes,
He could clearly see his reflection in her eyes,
"I promise you."
He said that he didn't mind because Issou became kind and compassionate again, so she didn't want to see it,
So he promised her.
As he said that..,
He smiled and extended his pinky finger to Issou,
He asked in a coaxing tone,
"Do you need a pinky promise?"
Hearing Hannibal's words..,
Issou immediately gave him a look that said, "Oh my God, you're so childish,"
However, her pinky finger stuck out very honestly.
Pinky promise with him.
After Hannibal withdrew his hand, he looked at the sky.
Then, he suddenly thought of something. "Oh right, can I ask you a question?"
"What?" Issou looked at Hannibal and heard him ask, "I'm a little curious. Where did you find out about what I'm doing?"
Issou: "…"
You may not believe me if I tell you.
I read about it in a novel.
Seeing that the black-haired girl didn't answer, Hannibal said, "I don't mean anything else. I'm just curious as to who would be able to find out that I've done it so well."
Hannibal promised that he was just curious.
Hearing this, Issou asked, "Couldn't I have discovered it myself?"
Hearing Issou's words, Hannibal couldn't help but chuckle. Although he didn't say anything, his expression seemed to be saying —
Be good.
Don't mess around.
Issou: "…"
How infuriating!
He felt like his IQ was being mocked.
However, when he thought about how Mr. Lecter was a person with a high IQ, and how she couldn't even stand properly last night, Issou … Issou didn't care if his IQ was being mocked.
"If you really found out about it yourself, it wouldn't have taken so long."
Hannibal smiled at Issou. "Even if you only found out about it after meeting me, it's impossible that you only realized it after hearing my name."
Therefore, Hannibal felt that Issou's most likely situation was that Issou found out about his murder from someone.
But considering that she didn't have any reaction before learning that his name was Lecter, Hannibal thought that Issou might have even told her that the person only knew that Hannibal killed someone. As for who Hannibal killed, why he killed someone, and even Hannibal's full name, she (or they) might not know.
Issou: "…"
The "person" who told her must have known, she just didn't remember it.
"Well, I did find out about it from somewhere else."
Issou shrugged at Hannibal. Meeting his curious gaze, she said, "But I can't tell you where I found out."
When Hannibal heard Issou's words, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "What? Are you still worried that I'll harm this person? "
"I'm not worried."
Issou shook her head. Even if Hannibal knew about it, what could he do? The cruelest thing would be to burn the book. She said, "But I really can't tell you."
"But you don't have to worry about leaving behind any clues or giving yourself away. The reason why we know about this isn't because of you."
Seeing that Issou was unwilling to tell him, Hannibal did not force her. After dinner at "My Chinese Restaurant", he waited for Issou to close before sending her home.

When Issou returned home, she looked completely different from the listless look she had when she came back last night. Today, she looked so relaxed that it was as if she could fly if she had a pair of wings.
"Hi, Jarvis."
As soon as Issou entered the house, before Jarvis Meow could say anything, she picked him up, smiled, and took a puff. "I'm back."
"Welcome home, Miss Issou."
Jarvis Meow lay in Issou's arms. His beautiful tail was slightly bent down, but the tip of his tail was slightly bent up. "You seem to be in a good mood today. Something good must have happened, right?"
"You could say that."
Issou walked into the living room with the cat in her arms. After she threw her backpack on the sofa, she threw herself in as well. Just as she was about to say something, her phone rang.
The black-haired girl took out her phone and saw that it was her mother, who she couldn't contact last night.
When Issou picked up the phone, the first thing she said was, [Mom, you're out?]
[Yes, I was in seclusion, but I suddenly sensed that my baby was missing me, so I came out early.]
Her mother smiled and teased Issou back. [How was it? We haven't contacted each other for a while. Did you miss me a lot?]
[Yes, I really want … to know where you are. Why can't I get through to you every time I call?]
Speaking of this, Issou was speechless. Because her mother didn't tell her, she didn't know where she was when they weren't together.
Of course, this wasn't the point. The point was …
She couldn't contact her even if she wanted to.
[You're exaggerating.]
When her mother heard Issou's words, she couldn't help but laugh. She said, [Even if you call me ten times, I can at least get through once.]
Issou, "…???"
Was this something to be proud of?
[Then do I need to praise you for having a great signal?]
Issou rolled her eyes speechlessly. She stroked Jarvis Meow as she complained, [Seriously, you must have spent a lot of time looking for a place with no signal, right?]
[You're thinking too much, good girl.]
In the past, her mother would have changed the topic. However, this time, she revealed something. She said, [The people here don't use cell phones. Why would they need a signal?]
[What do you mean?]
Issou didn't expect her mother to say something like this. She was stunned for a moment before she quickly reacted. [Wait, mom. So you told me before that you went to the remote mountainous areas to teach some kids in the mountains. Was that true?]
Issou's words stunned her mother. She asked, [Did I say that to you?]
[Yes.]
Issou said, [At the time, I said that you were lying to me. You admitted it.]
[Oh.]
Her mother reacted. [I was just lying to you for fun.]
Issou, "…???"
What did she mean by lying to you for fun?
She really was her mother!
Issou complained, [Mom, doesn't your conscience hurt?]
[I don't know if it hurts, but it's pretty fun.]
Her mother couldn't help but laugh. However, considering that her daughter was her biological daughter, she didn't want to tease her too much.
Oh, her mother wasn't worried that Issou would be angry. She was worried that she wouldn't be able to tease her anymore, so she changed the topic. [By the way, I'm calling you this time to talk to you about something serious. Do you remember the last time you asked me why I had to let you go abroad to start your own business?]
Issou originally thought that her mother was going to say something to fool her. He didn't expect her to actually be serious. [I remember. But didn't you always change the topic last time?]
[I told you to guess.]
Her mother said righteously, [Who told you not to guess correctly?]
Issou, "…???"
So it's my fault?
Issou asked, [Then do you still want to play a guessing game with me?]
[I do want to.]
Her mother thought that her silly daughter was so fun to tease. [But this time, time is tight. I won't play games with you.]
Issou, "…"
She never wanted to play games, okay?
She was just cold.
Her mother said, [I asked you to go abroad because I wanted you to take the opportunity to break through the dimensional wall. Then, while the different dimensions are merging, you can escape from your father's search.]
Issou, "…???"
Her mother continued, [This method was originally very safe, but who knew that something would happen that made him confirm your existence. I think it won't be long before your father comes looking for you.]
Issou, "…!!!"
[Wait, wait, wait!]
After Issou heard her mother's words, she was a little confused. She said, [Mom, do you mean the same thing when you say 'your father' and 'your sister'?]
[Be good, don't lie to yourself. It means what you heard.]
Her mother shattered Issou's unrealistic fantasy. [I'm telling you in advance so that you can be mentally prepared. After all, your father … is not a normal person.]
With that, her mother hung up the phone.
Issou, "…!!???"
Mom!!!
How can you mentally prepare people like you're throwing a deep-water torpedo at them?!
Why don't you explain to me how my father came back to life after he died, and what do you mean by my father is not a normal person?!
Before Issou could react, she suddenly heard a "thud" coming from the stairs, as if something heavy had hit the ground. She was so shocked that she jumped up from the sofa. "What the hell! Did my father follow the signal and come looking for me?! "
However, before Issou could figure out what was going on, she heard a fierce and continuous "thud thud thud" sound. After a while, she saw a person wearing a red bodysuit and carrying two long swords rolling down the stairs and falling to the ground with a thud.
"You …"
Issou looked at the person on the ground. Even just looking at him, she felt that he had just fallen really badly.
"Hey, babe ~"
Deadpool jumped up from the ground at once. "First of all, I have to explain one thing to you. Daddy's appearance is not designed like this, but it doesn't matter. I believe that you already know how handsome daddy is after reading the manga/anime."
"Of course, if you haven't finished reading the manga/anime about me, it doesn't matter. Dad doesn't mind showing you what it's like to have a handsome man. Ahem, ahem. (Deadpool: … Hurry up and control yourself!) This is your daughter!) What kind of daddy is he? "
"Uh."
There was no need for him to introduce himself. Yi Su already knew who he was from his attire and the way he spoke, but …
"You called me … a good girl?"
"Yes, because I'm your father!"
Even through the mask, Issou could hear the ripples and flirtatious tone in Deadpool's voice. "How is it? Are you surprised!? Are you surprised!? "
Issou looked like she had nothing to live for: "…"
