Unable to hold back my chagrin, I decided to hire a lawyer through the company's contacts and file a claim for compensation in civil court.
After all, among the company's higher-ups, there were also some who were mothers of boys, so they were fully supportive of my case, saying that it was not someone else's problem.
The president of the security company, from which we had hired the security personnel, immediately came over and apologized for the breach of the security contract personally.
She got down to a dogeza and promised to give us the greatest compensation possible.
Their credibility was at stake here, so it seemed that they didn't wish to get into trouble with the family of the man's side.
As such, we managed to conclude the discussion with the security company smoothly.
I gave up when I heard that as expected it was impossible to make the middle school take responsibility.
Instead, I asked them to be merciless to the parents of the other parties.
It was just that, it was inevitable that it would take time.
We also received some condolence money from the government, so after deciding to make a request to a more reliable security company, I introduced the security personnel that had been dispatched to Yuu.
Compared to their predecessors, which consisted of one A-rank and a few B-rank personnel, this time the team centered around the pair that were of the greatest rank of S-rank and A-rank.
It was costly, but I could not ask for anything better for Yuu's safety.
I was relieved to hear that as the result of receiving a full examination, Yuu was deemed to have no problem, and since his mental state had also calmed down, it seemed that he would be able to leave the hospital before his high school entrance ceremony.
I was worried because I had heard that due to how immense the shock was, boys who ended up being attacked tended to shut themselves away and cease to be be able to accept women, even if they were family members at worst, but I was truly glad that Yuu didn't become like that.
Above all else, I was so happy that having regained his composure, Yuu would now talk to me as intimately as he did when he was a child.
But how should I put it…. Yuu had changed.
It was as if his rebellious self was nothing but a lie.
I wonder if he became an adult mentally after overcoming adversity?
After all, he made me feel as if I was dealing with an adult rather than a teenage boy.
Besides… From time to time, the way he looked at me as well as the way he spoke when he talked to me, it was different from before, you see.
Those were not the eyes of someone looking at his mother.
I was at a loss as to how I should put it.
I didn't know for a while.
But when I was relaxing at home after Yuu was discharged from the hospital, I suddenly realized.
That right now, he is just like my late husband, Sakuya-san.
I have heard that people who were on the verge of death due to suffering a serious injury, especially a head injury, would become like a different person after they recover.
I wonder if that was the case with Yuu, by some chance?
… Even if it was, Yuu was Yuu.
He was my son, who was more important than anything else.
Even if his personality had changed a little, as a mother, I would accept it.
Besides, it was not like he had changed for the worse, after all.
The current Yuu was a very good boy.
He could greet people properly, and he was always there to greet me when I came home from work.
I didn't know when he learned how to cook, but he could even make simple homemade dishes.
I mean, when Yuu was born, I thought jokingly….
Maybe this child is Sakuya-san's reincarnation?
When I talked to the Yuu who had regained consciousness, I was perplexed because he truly ended up making me feel as if he was Sakuya-san's reincarnation.
One night, when I came home after drinking some sake, I stumbled down the hallway, and Yuu immediately caught me in his arms.
At that moment, for some reason, Sakuya-san's face ended up flashing through my mind, and at the same time as me feeling flustered, I couldn't hold back my tears, you see.
Holding such me close, Yuu gently stroked my head.
Inevitably, in my eyes, he was becoming more and more like Sakuya-san….
At this rate, I would end up wishing to be spoiled by Yuu as a woman, as opposed to a mother.
As such, you see, I deliberately called him 『Yuu-chan』 as I did when he was a child.
As a reminder that I was his mother.
The parent company of the Komatsu Group, Komatsu, a manufacturer of motorcycles and automobiles, began as Komatsu Loom Works, which was founded by my great-grandmother in the early 20th century.
The company has continued to grow and develop through the successors of my great-grandmother, from my grandmother to my mother and the founding family, and now boasts one of the largest sales volumes of both motorcycles and automobiles not only in Japan, but also in the world, and the name 『KOMATSU』 has spread throughout the world.
As the heiress of the Komatsu family, I, Komatsu Sayaka, am in a position to carry the Komatsu Group on my shoulders in the future.
My little sister Kiyoka, who is three years younger than me, is blessed with a more brilliant mind than mine, but she is not very strong physically, so during her childhood days, she spent most of her time staying at home to recuperate.
Perhaps because of this, it seems that she indulged herself in a wide range of creative works, from classical literature to even light novels and manga for girls.
As opposed to just being absorbed in them and reading them avidly, my little sister eventually began to write her own novels and even made submissions to literary magazines when she was in junior high school.
I have asked her to let me read some of her works, but my bright minded little sister seems to have talents in creative works, so I remember being surprised at how well written they were, so much that I could not believe they were something written by a middle school student.
