It was past midnight when they arrived in Sapporo.
Miyashita Naoyuki, preoccupied with the arrival of the cargo that evening, had not joined them and had taken off ahead of Aoyama Xiu Xin.
"Shall I take you to the hospital?" Aoyama Xiu Xin asked Miyashita Ryouko, who had been silent throughout the journey.
He thought that given Miyashita Ryouko's character, she would go to the hospital to confront her father, but Ryouko simply shook her head and replied, "No need, after all, I can only pretend he never did such a thing, right?"
Aoyama Xiu Xin was a bit surprised as Miyashita Ryouko seemed more mature and more accepting of reality than he had anticipated.
Her confronting Miyashita Hidekatsu would only make their father-daughter relationship awkward in the future and wouldn't change what had already happened. Moreover, Miyashita Hidekatsu was injured, and it was not suitable for him to undergo much emotional strain at this time.
