He'd have to stay there for the rest of the summer, perhaps the whole year, and see what happened.
For him, the house in Hinamizawa was like a rather dull hiding place.
His lover Rina had suddenly disappeared.
Rumors told him that she was involved with some dangerous deal.
Some source even told him that she had already been caught and killed.
Everyone also assumed that he knew everything about what Rina did. They were convinced that he got money by tricking her into doing something, and as a result, some dangerous men came after him.
That made it difficult for him to stay in Okinomiya.
More than anything, it pissed him off to find out that Rina was cooking up something behind his back with some other guys.
He couldn't go back to the house where he used to live with his wife, as it had been abandoned since he moved into Satoko's house.
...Besides, he didn't even have the key to his old place.
But if he went to Satoko's house, she should still be there, and she could clean and cook for him too.
Teppei didn't know how to cook or clean, and he certainly wasn't thinking of learning.
Rina had often been rebellious towards Teppei. He had often said that he wanted to be with someone more loyal, like a pet. For Teppei, Satoko was exactly what he wanted.
As Satoko is still a little kid, she can't satisfy him sexually, but he can at least make her wash his back in the bath.
Satoko's dead mother used to be a pretty woman...
Satoko might grow up to become a pretty lady herself in about four or five years...
Teppei headed back to Hinamizawa with those indecent thoughts in his head.
She'd been living at her friend's house for the past year, and the house had been abandoned.
He told her that it was her responsibility to keep the house in order.
He beat her and kicked her down to the floor.
Eventually Satoko's expression returned to what he remembered from 1982.
Satoko started obeying him immediately, and cleaned up the house.
His new life was starting out pretty good.
Teppei called his buddies to show off his new beginning, and ended up played mahjong with them.
He bragged about his new pet, and made her serve them food and drinks.
He told her to walk on all fours like a real pet.
She refused, but she obeyed immediately when he tried to hit her.
Everyone was laughing, and they were all jealous of him. Teppei felt really good about himself.
However, someone arrived to interrupt this perfect life.

He'd thought someone was at his door to sell insurance or something.
But it was a school teacher.
"Huh? What the hell? What do you want with Satoko?"
"I came here because she didn't come to school today. I wasn't able to get ahold of her, so I'm wondering what happened."
"Huh...? School...?"
"Yes. Is she home? I need to talk with her."
"She's sick. That's right... she has a cold. Satoko is resting because she has a fever..."
"I need to give her some handouts. May I please see her?"
"You idiot. Weren't you listening to what I just said? Satoko is sick! She's sleeping right now! I can't let you see her!"
Satoko was just a pet for him, and he had no intention of sending her to school.
But her teacher had shown up at his house just because she missed one day. This wasn't good.
Teppei hates schools, and he really hates teachers.
"I see... Do you think she can come to school tomorrow?"
"Who knows? I won't know until tomorrow! You idiot!"
"............I, I see. All right... Please tell her that I came by... Thank you..."
He was able to get rid of the teacher, but it would create more problems if he didn't send Satoko to school tomorrow...
Teppei didn't need even more trouble on his place.
That meant he couldn't beat up Satoko like he wanted to.
He wanted to beat up Satoko, but that would leave evidence on her body.
If that happened, he wouldn't be able to send her to school.
And if she didn't go to school, that teacher would show up at his doorstep again. ......Shit.
...The teacher must have filed a report.
That bitch, Teppei thought. Next time I'll beat her in the face so hard she'll need plastic surgery!
Since Satoko was afraid of him, she pretended she really was sick when the social worker visited.
It was so easy for Teppei to control her.
He considered Satoko to be a convenient pet... but at the same time, he'd need to be careful of the consultation center…
