Have the best hands and feet, the best voice, a smart brain, or a likable enough personality.

Ikegami Reika is ready to transform herself little by little and present herself as the most perfect work in front of her mother. She wants to surpass her sister and get her mother's love, instead of being a child who has been ignored and will always be a stain and air.

"Even if you are not the best, there are still people who love you."

"No way, no one will expect me to do that." Ikegami Reika shouted, her eyes full of despair, "In my mother's eyes, there is only my sister, because my sister is so outstanding. No matter how hard I try, I can't become her, so she doesn't love me."

"It was clearly my sister's and my birthday, but she only bought a cake for my sister, said happy birthday to her affectionately, and bought her the gifts she wanted. It was as if I was not born on the same day as my sister."

Ikegami Reika shook her head, "So, if I become the best person, my mother will understand. I also expect her to love me."

"So you're going to hurt those innocent people?" Hinata frowned, "stealing the thoughts of geniuses, snatching the voices of singers, and claiming them as your own?"

"That's because I don't have it!" Ikegami Reika clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging into her palms, "I was born an ordinary person. I didn't inherit my mother's excellent genes. My mediocrity is a sin. I can only steal other people's things."

"I know it's wrong, but I can't help it."

Ikegami Reika stepped back, "I also want to know what it feels like to be a sister who is cherished by my mother."

Hinata Sou felt a strong sense of despair emanating from this 14-year-old girl.

She was desperate because she was an ordinary person and had no talent that could be cherished by her mother, but she never thought that a normal mother would never stop loving her daughter just because she had no talent.

So she knew it was wrong, and she knew she would feel guilty, but she still did it.

No matter what the cost.

"But if that's the case, you're no longer yourself." Hinata Sou whispered, "Your hands and feet belong to someone else, your thoughts belong to someone else, and even your likable personality is not your own. Your whole body is a collection of other people. So, does your mother love you, or the good in you?"

Ikegami Reika smiled and said, "It doesn't matter anymore."

But her heart was crying. She said that it didn't matter, but she was crying in her heart because the aura of despair was constantly emanating from her.

“Don’t fool yourself.”

"deceive?"

"Don't you think you're pitiful?" Hinata Hajime's voice was calm. "You have no talent, and your mother doesn't love you. You want to attract her attention. You clearly care about her very much, but you still stubbornly say that it's not important. If you keep deceiving yourself, won't you look even more pitiful?"

Ikegami Reika looked at Hinata Hajime and said, "As long as mom doesn't think I'm pitiful, then I will never be pitiful."

Hinata Sou frowned, he walked over and tried to control the girl, but at that moment, Hinata Sou saw something, there was a sneer in the girl's black eyes, it was a smile that was difficult to understand, Hinata Sou took two steps back, and the dagger in the girl's hand missed.

"Huh? He dodged?" Ikegami Reika tilted her head. She looked at Hinata Hajime. Her eyes, which had just been filled with sorrow for her mother, became cold and indifferent. "How boring."

"You..." Hinata Hajime asked, "Who is it?"

"Who am I? Of course I'm Ikegami Reika." Ikegami Reika played with her hair. "Of course, I've always been Ikegami Reika. It's so boring. Hey, strange man, let's play together!"

She laughed a delightful laugh and sounded like a lunatic.

"The so-called genius's thoughts are such disgusting things. He is not smart at all. Such thoughts are completely useless. But it doesn't matter, sir. You seem to be very smart." Ikegami Reika smiled sweetly, "Can you give me your thoughts?"

"Of course not." Hinata Hajime said calmly, "Children can't just ask adults for things casually."

"Is the adult world like this? They teach children all kinds of things, but they always rely on their absolute control over children to manipulate them. I'm fed up with it." Ikegami Reika sighed, "What's so good about being an adult? Sir, come and be a child with me!"

"No." Hinata Hajime looked at her, "You are not the real you now."

Ikegami Reika tilted her head, and after a moment she put away her smile, "It's really annoying, an adult educating a child."

In front of Hinata Hajime, Ikegami Reika turned around and jumped into the sea, blending directly into the water like a drop of water. Hinata Hajime stood by the sea and looked at the sea. After a while, he looked away.

It seems that it is time to have a chat with Ikegami's mother.

Early the next morning, Hinata Hajime entrusted the store and the cat in the store to Nagito Komaeda, and then came to Ikegami's house under Nagito Komaeda's accusing eyes.

Today is Saturday and Ikegami Yomu did not go to school. As soon as he arrived at her door, Hinata Sou heard a fierce quarrel inside.

"So, mom, you didn't call the police at all?" Chi Shang Yaomeng's voice came out, "If I hadn't gone to the police station to ask the police about my sister's situation, were you planning to keep it a secret?!"

"Xiao Meng, Mommy has her own reasons." An adult female voice rang out, "Mommy is doing this for your own good."

"Does it mean that Linghua should leave for my own good?" Chi Shang Yaomeng didn't understand, "Why? Isn't Linghua my sister, isn't she your daughter?"

Hinata Hajime was also thinking about this problem. He once wondered whether Ikegami Reika was not the child of the Ikegami family, but this idea was shattered after he met Ikegami Reika. After all, Ikegami Reika and Ikegami Yomu looked exactly the same. They were flowers carved from the same mold and there was no difference in their appearance.

"Of course Mom won't hurt you!"

"Did Linghua do anything wrong? She didn't do anything. Why don't you care about Linghua's life or death?"

"Because mommy wants to ensure your safety, Xiaomeng."

Hinata Hajime frowned slightly and pressed the doorbell. The quarreling mother and daughter looked towards the door at the same time. When they saw Hinata Hajime, Ikegami Yomu ran over and her eyes lit up.

"Sir, have you found my sister?"

"I met her yesterday, but she ran away. But don't worry, she is still alive and well." Hinata Hajime answered. At the same time, he glanced at Ikegami's mother secretly and saw that her face was getting more and more distorted.

"Who are you?" Mother Chi Shang Yuanyan pulled Yao Meng over.

"Mom, I asked Mr. Hinata to find Linghua." Yaomeng explained quickly, "He is the manager of that famous Yorozuya, and he has promised to help me find Linghua."

"No!" Chi Shangyuan shouted, "Xiao Meng, Mommy begs you, don't bother Linghua anymore, just pretend she has never been your sister."

Chi Shang Yaomeng looked at her mother, confusion and sadness were written in her eyes, and the girl tried hard to hold back her tears.

"Mom, have you always been so hostile to Linghua? She is obviously... your daughter too."

"She is not! You are my only daughter!" Chi Shangyuan shouted, "Xiao Meng, my mother is really protecting you. She is a devil. She has been doing terrible things since she was a child. There is a devil in her body. If she continues, she will kill you!"

Chi Shang Yao Meng was stunned, "Mom, what did you say?"

"Devil?" Hinata Hajime looked at the woman who was close to collapse, "Can you tell me about this? Your daughter asked me to find her sister. I would be unwilling to stop here. Besides, I also want to know why a mother would call her daughter a devil."

"But it's okay if you don't want to talk about it." Hinata Hajime said, "After all, this is your family matter."

The woman looked at Hinata Hajime nervously, but Hinata Hajime was so friendly.

Any normal person can feel the kindness in Hinata Hajime and be infected by his gentleness. The woman gradually recovered her mood. After a while, she opened the door and invited Hinata Hajime in. She also brought out tea from the kitchen. At this time, Ikegami Yomen was still at a loss. She sat on the sofa and looked a little dazed.

Ikegami Motohara lowered his head. "I found out something was wrong with them when they were 5 years old. At that time, I had just divorced my husband and it was too much for me to take care of two children, so I let them play together while I went out to work and earn money."

However, Ikegami Motoyasu never expected to see this scene when he returned home.

Linghua and Yaomeng were fighting over a toy. Because Linghua was weaker than her sister, she didn't win, so she picked up a hard object from the ground and hit Chishang Yaomeng on the head with it.

Chi Shang Yuanyan ran over quickly, and Yao Meng kept crying because of the pain.

"Mom." Ikegami Reika looked at the woman in front of her. She was not afraid, but rather calm. She said, "My sister fell down by herself and hit the ground. My sister is so stupid."

At that moment, Ikegami Yuanyan felt something break in his heart.

However, Ikegami Motoyasu certainly didn't believe that her daughter would hurt others at such a young age. She tried to tell herself that it was just because she was still young and didn't understand what it meant to hurt others. So Ikegami Motoyasu tried hard to educate her and told her how important her sister was to her.

Her sister is the twin flower that came out of the placenta with her, and they will always be the closest people.

But the answer that Ikegami Reika gave her made her feel cold all over.

"Why didn't my sister die before she was born? Then mom wouldn't have to share with her," said the little child.

"She really wanted to kill Xiao Meng. From that time until now, she has been taking action every time." Chi Shang Yuanyan tightly grasped the clothes in her hands. Because she was holding too tightly, her fingers were shaking. "I have been protecting Xiao Meng and wanted to send Linghua away temporarily, but every time, she would run back by herself."

"She said she wanted to be with her sister, but when she looked at Xiao Meng, there was never a smile in her eyes."

Chi Shang Yaomeng raised his head, "Why don't I know?"

"Because you were still young at that time, you didn't know what death was. Even if you were pushed into the water, you wouldn't have thought it was your sister who pushed you." Ikegami Motohara said: "She had no family affection or love in her heart."

"She's a real monster!"
