◆03◆ The flower that bloomed in destruction

"And if you press your thumb against the opening of the hose like this..." Ichinose was showing Michiyo the trick of using the hose to water the flowers. 

"Father, why are you growing so much cosmos flowers?" The colors varied from one another but they're all very beautiful when their petals caught little bits of water droplets. 

"Remember when I said my wife is buried under the soil?" 

Michiyo then smiled, "So you're growing these flowers on top of her to spite her." 

"You are so clever, Michiyo-chan. Any man would kill to marry you." Ichinose was rather happy with Michiyo living with him. She was helpful, she's understanding, and she always have the sweetest smiles. Having her living with him was like having the sun shining on him even though the weather's down.

"I sure won't." Dabi plucked out a cosmos flower. Of all the colors, he picked the one that matched Michiyo's blue hair. He held it so he could see Michiyo's hair in his view. "Oh, it matches."

"Dabi, you asshole! Don't fucking pluck these babies! I swear to God, if you pluck out even a petal in front of me, I will fucking end you myself!" Ichinose completely broke out of his friendly priest persona after seeing Dabi pluck out his favorite flower. After being stared at by Michiyo for a good while, he realized he broke out of persona and then he faked a few coughs. 

"Father, I think I heard the bell go." Michiyo said to Ichinose. 

"Ugh, I have to listen to some more shitty confessions. Tell me something I don't already know." He complained as he walked back to the church. 

Michiyo continued to water the flowers with the hose. She glanced at Dabi, who had now plucked out a pink cosmos flower. "If you continue to do that, Father will flip. He loves these love flowers." Cosmos flowers have another name, they're known as love flowers and they're a good gift for romantic occasions. 

"Then let him. I don't care." He held the pink cosmos flower to her view. "It would look nice if it was pink too." 

"Hm?" 

"Nothing." He was about to throw the flowers to the side but he stopped at the last moment. Instead of trashing them away, he walked over to her. His shadow overshadowed her and he stuck the flowers into her hair. 

Michiyo looked at him and she touched the flowers with the hand not holding the hose. She blushed a little and she thanked him for the love flowers. She then finished hosing and she leaned forward to sniff a flower only to sneeze once. 

"Oi." 

Michiyo wondered why he was wet. 

"Is it raining?" Dabi reacted by trying to singe her by the neck. "Why~? You know it won't work~." 

Half a month had already passed but Dabi still have not left for Shinju. In fact, he always leave in the middle of the night only to come back in time for breakfast only to leave when he finished dinner. When he'd come here, he would laze around the garden or at Father Ichinose's house and watch Michiyo do the chores. Not once did Dabi help her with the chores nor did Michiyo ask for his help. 

Ichinose soon came back to the garden. "Can you believe it? I can't believe that man confessed to admitting he had been eyeing his daughter weirdly and he desire to touch her the same way he touches his wife." 

"Why do you have a photo of him?" The person on the photo looked like an average salary man. He did not look like the type to wrong thoughts for his own daughter. Dabi rolled his eyes because this society was a joke of the lifetime; sometimes one doesn't have to be a villain to do bad things.
