Due to the exchange of fist with the teddy bear whom I have later known to be the ghost that resides in the mansion, I got a new friend who shares the same hobby as me. Fighting. It wasn't just an exchange that is usually done, it was a heart-to-heart exchange between the living and the dead. That is not an everyday occurrence.

Due to this, I decided that this is the perfect place. Not only does the place ideal for making a teleport waypoint, but a companion was also a plus. Not the expected outcome but it is a welcome one.

Since the teddy bear decided to stay there for a while, I left the mansion and promised the ghost that I will be back once I have finalized the mansion's purchase. After that, I went back to the Realtor's office again.

"HUH? ARE YOU SURE YOU WILL BE TAKING THAT MANSION?!" the realtor was too shocked that she raised her voice.

"Uh... it's not that big of a shocker and uh...please lower your voice, everyone is looking at you."

"No, no. Are you sure? Did you even check the mansion?! Aren't you creeped out or anything?"

"Of course I went in. I can't just see the outside and declare that I want it. Besides, the ghost was friendly and we are compatible, you don't need to be worried about it."

"Huh?" the realtor was shocked.

"Anyway, let's get the papers signed. It's getting dark and I still have some things I needed to do."

Since the papers of that mansion were not as complicated as the others, the purchase was over in a flash. Finally securing a place to create the teleport waypoint, it's time to pay a visit to Father and Mother. I have delayed it for too long.

...

Halfway through the hospital where my mother was staying, rain poured down hard. There was no forecast for the rain so it was very unexpected it would suddenly cause a huge downpour.

Thankfully, it wasn't that strong of rain that the visibility of my car would diminish a lot. I arrived a few minutes later. Now, all I need to know is the room where Mother was staying. Father didn't say anything about the room number on which room she was staying and all I can do is just manually find it. The first thing to do is to ask the nurse station.

"Excuse me, do you know which room does Tsukasa Miyako was staying in?" I asked in the nurse station.

"What is your relationship with the patient, sir?" the nurse on the nurse station asked.

"I am her son, Tsukasa Manato."

The nurse starts typing on her computer and after a while, she nodded and gave me a number and a Visitor pass.

"The number is where your mother was staying. It is good that you are visiting. Most of the time, your father is not around and when he was, he is full of bruises. We tried to help him patch up his wounds but he always declines. It would be best to talk with your father on this."

"Thank you for sharing."

I left the nurse station and went to the room of my mother with a grim look on my face. So father is always not around with Mother and when he is with her, he was covered in bruises like he was in a fight or something? Is this why Father reluctant to say anything to me about the situation due to that reason?!

When I arrived, a nurse was currently checking the dextrose and the temperature of my mother. Other than her, no one else is around. I tried to detect if there is anyone in the bathroom but it seems only the nurse and mother was inside the whole time.

Where is father?

That is the first thing that dropped into my mind. Where did Father go?

I opened the door and the nurse didn't expect my entrance. "Oh, are you a visitor of Mrs. Tsukasa?"

"Yeah, I am her son. The nurse station already gave me a visitor's card, so don't worry about it."

"Thank goodness someone is finally here," the nurse said, looking with a sigh of relief.

"Huh? What do you mean? Isn't father the one staying here to watch mom? Is there something wrong?" I asked.

"Well, your mother is just all alone here in this room and if not for the nurses helping her and some of our caregivers, her condition might have worsened. As for your father, he didn't visit for a week already."

My eyebrows creased when she said my father has not visited Mother for a week.

"What do you mean a week? I called him a few days ago and he said that mother is fine. He was not here the whole time when I called him?!"

"I don't know what is going on between you two but yes, we are hundred percent sure that your father last visited on Monday. It's already the second Tuesday since your father left so we are also 100 percent sure of the last time he visited."

"...I didn't know that but thanks for the info. Appreciated it."

The nurse then left the room and I was left alone with my unconscious mom. I look closely at my mom and I saw a few of the wounds from her incident. She has lots of cuts on her body and there are some bruises. The impact of the crash was too strong, that it caused her to go into a coma.

I clenched my fist and gritted my teeth. The people who did this are going to get into big trouble for messing with me and my parents.

"Just you wait, bastards. You guys might have the laugh for today but it will always be my last laugh."

After a few hours of staying inside, I left mother's room and decided to pay for all the expenses of my mother here in the hospital. I am sure Father hasn't paid yet so why not solve it once and for all? Since I can't stay in the hospital room since I am just a visitor and not the guardian, I have limited time inside without my father, and besides, I still have some packages I needed to get the new house much comfortable and also to set up the teleport waypoint. Although it would be great to stay with her since my father is still nowhere to be found, I also need to finish all the things I needed to do when I came to Nagoya.

The first was to buy furniture and since the selections and delivery is fast, I managed to buy enough appliances to fill the new mansion. It might not be my main house, but that place was still considered as my place, and living in a house without anything except a huge teddy bear would be a bit disappointing. I may not stay here for a while, but it would be a great way to use as a good place to crash the night if I am in this place.

With the movers, I managed to save a lot of time arranging all the stuff I bought. Ah, and for the ghost, I asked him to calm down and not exude any sort of heavy pressure on them. Thankfully, the ghost was reasonable and I managed to set up the second home completely. I can also tell the ghost was very happy since I also installed a mini gym in one of the wide rooms. With the ghost very happy about the training and fighting, it would make sense to set up a mini-gym of some sort.

Once the preparations are done for the day, I went to my room in this new mansion and created a small portal that was similar to the first portal I made. However, this one is not hidden like back in my room. This one? It is revealed. I created a small ritual and activated the new teleport waypoint.

The waypoint was successfully established when the portal I made started glowing. It is now operational and I can now transfer from Nagoya to Tokyo and vice versa.

"Alright time to test it."

Touching the portal and channeling my mana on the teleport waypoint, a flash suddenly covered my whole body and in split second, I appeared once again inside my room in Tokyo.

"Finally, the teleport waypoint was deployed successfully!"

I used the teleport waypoint again and returned to Nagoya once more. I have a few things I needed to finish. One is to find my father. With him missing for a week already is not a normal thing anymore. This is something much more serious and I wanted to know what is happening to him.

There are two possibilities here. First would be my father going to work to earn more money to pay for the fee on my mother so until now, he is not there but this point is a bit farfetched. As for the last one, would be something that he was involved with the bastards that seems connected to the trouble my father was currently in.
