Then how?
Miss Cordelia glares at Kyouko-san
It’s easy. I just came before you could see!
Kyouko-san answers with a clown face.
I broke to the hotel premises from the sea side. climbed from the outer wall to the rooftop, then came through the ventilation duct from the roof. That’s all!
.What?
This high-rise hotel.she climbed up the wall to the rooftop? Margo-san said that your stamina won’t be able to hold up if you do that, but!
Didn’t I always tell you? You should never think there’s no way they’d do that
Just what kind of stamina does she have?1
She’s definitely a monster
No way.even if you can go up to the rooftop, there’s no way the ducts of this hotel has a space for a person!
Miss Cordelia’s astonished
What do you think I mastered Yoga for then?
Kyouko-san laughs.
Well.that’s not everything though. Let me tell you a secret, I was involved in designing this hotel. I’ve made only one duct route where you can pass from the rooftop leading to any floor! However.there’s a lot of places nobody but me could get through!
She’s got a perfect grasp of the ventilation duct maze?
No, if it’s her then she can do that much
However, something unexpected happened.the above duct of the Chinese Restaurant is greasy with oil. So I took a shower and changed clothes, that’s why I got late. Oh, there’s also a private waiting room for me in the middle of the duct route!
That’s where she changed her clothes to a red tuxedo.
It would’ve been perfect if I had a bouquet of roses but.I’ll prepare one next time!
The thought, execution ability, body, physical strength, and sense of clothes.all of them are out of the standard.
What a woman, having such a huge body and mind. That’s all I can say.
By the way, Cordelia!
Kyouko-san saysNufufufufu.and approach the white female Viola
Are these girls yourkittensnow?
Miss Cordelia.
That’s right. They’re my LOVERS !
Hmm, as usual, you’ve got a good hobby!
Saying that, Kyouko-san even embraces the white Viola.
With the speed and intimidation.the female Viola can’t move. She’s stroked by Kyouko-san.she’s hardened.
Do, do do.you don’t have to be that nervous. Oh, your muscles are well trained. Yes! You’re cute!
Following, she hugs the white Rosalind as well.
This one’s also good. This is great! Cute! You’re cute! Cordelia, you really got good eyes.aren’t these some very goodkittens!
.Err
Miss Cordelia shows a sulking face.
Thanks for the praise. But.Kyouko also has quite talented Lovers don’t you?
Kyouko-san shows awhat?face as she hug Rosalind.
What do you mean?
It’s useless to play dumb.Kuromori Minaho, Margo Starkweather, and Najima Yasuko!
Miss Cordelia thinks that Minaho-neesan and the two are Lesbian partners of Kyouko-san?
Don’t be ridiculous.these girls.
.At that moment
From the door Margo-san left open. A gale comes in?
.!!!
A slash aiming at Kyouko-san!
Edie? Where were you until now?
Miss Cordelia’s surprised.
Wahahaha! This is a cheerful kid!
Kyouko-san dodges sister Edie’s knife with an amazing footwork
.Sister Edie, why?
.Err
Sister Edie doesn’t know our relationship with Kyouko-san Looking at her hugging the white Violas, she thought that she’s an enemy? No, wrong. If it’s hugging then she also did it with Michi and others.
.It seems her blood burns up
Nei-san mutters.
.What?
Someone strong like Kyouko-san appeared so Edie’s fighting spirit from the inside is burning
.Oh right, this girl is.
When she saw Michi’sShingetsu.that alone made her abandon miss Cordelia and became Michi’s friend. She’s a girl who doesn’t use normal reasoning.
She didn’t feelI want to fightwith Miss Cordelia or Michan, but Kyouko-san’s aura is abysmal so,I have to fightswitch was flipped, I think.
In the end, sister Edie is a girl who lives under her own judgement.
She’s a girl who’s only interested infightingandbecoming strong. She wasn’t a girl who can’t become ourlast card
Fuufuufun! That’s an assassination skill isn’t it? Though it seems to be trained well.you still got ways to go!
Kyouko-san plays with sister Edie while laughing.
At the moment Sister Edie’s continuous attack ends, she trips up. Sister Edie falls down. Kyouko-san said something in English
.We’re done, young bird!she said
Nei-san translates.
Sister Edie shows a sullen face. She walks in front of Michi Then.she talks to Michi in fast English Err. I was only able to catch the word synchronize.
You see.Let’s cooperate and take her downshe said
Sister Edie seems to be already best friends with Michi.
She’s saying that Michan can definitely do the technique Edie’s grandmother can do, so they’ll fight together. it’s a bit fast and has a southern accent so I don’t get it well, but.
Michi answers sister Edie in English.
Nei-san continues to translate.
True.Kudou style has the similar skill as Edie’s grandmothershe’s saying.but
Michi looks at Kyouko-san.
Kyouko-san.
Sure, come at me!
She tells Michi
Either way, that girl won’t understand unless it’s with her fists, right? Don’t hold back and come at me!
She takes a stance.
I’m strong you know!
Michi tells sister Edie something.
She holds her fist and show it.
If we’re fighting, then use bare handsshe said
.
ALL
RIGHT!
Sister Edie throws the knives from both hands.
Michi bows to Kyouko-san.
Please take care of us.
Then.she faced sister Edie.
Matching her breathing and heartbeat with sister Edie. This is?
.Kudou style mystic artsShingetsubreak.Soutsuki!2
In a moment.the two small girls jump!
This is a perfecttuning? Michi’s left her heart to sister Edie! The two became a one living being. They attack Kyouko-san in tune!
Ahahahaha! So fun! You two are very interesting!
Michi and Sister Edie simultaneously attack from both sides.
Fast.accurate.a perfect collaboration skill.
But.both of you are too serious! There’s no game in your movements I can see through it!
.Buwan!
Kyouko-san moves faster than the two!
Here.I got you two!
Kyouko-san hugs Michi on her right arm and Sister Eide on the left!
You two are so cute! Geez!
Sister Edie’s legs are flapping, but.
She can’t move due to Kyouko-san’s arm strength. Kyouko-san who’s tall and large looks like hugging cute dolls in her arms.
Hey, Cordelia! This American kid is also yourkitten?
Kyouko-san asks miss Cordelia while laughing
.That’s what I intend to do
Glaring at miss Cordelia.Michi speaks while being carried by Kyouko-san.
No. Sister Edie is already my friend
Miss Cordelia looks at Michi with eyes of hatred.
As expected of a prostitution organization.you already made an innocent girl broke?
That’s not the case. Sister Edie chose to grow with me instead of you.
Kyouko-san interferes the talk.
Hey, Cordelia. Leave this child to me. Perhaps.I think will be better with me than you
.You intend to take this girl from me?
Miss Cordelia shows an obvious unpleasant look.
Geez, why are you so aloof since a while ago.aren’t we in a relationship? Isn’t that fine?
Kyouko-san smiles like usual.
Then, she speaks to sister Edie in English
Do you want to be strongershe asked.
Sister Edie makes a clear reply
I’m strong enough even nowshe brags
Kyouko-san laughs loud then speaks.
No no, you’re still weak. But, you’ve got the potential. If you train under me, you can be 100 times stronger than nowshe said
Sister Edie’s face changes.
.Really? That’s obvious Chu! Who do you think Kyouko-san is! Hey!
Then, she speaks in English again.
You specialize too much in assassination. Before certainly killing the opponent.you must survive for sure.furthermore, protecting the important people to you.you must learn thoseshe said
Sister Edie speaks lonely
I don’t have any important people to protect.
Sister Edie lost her grandmother, the only relative she has.
Sold by the boss of theassassination cultshe was born and raised. Michi speaks.
I’m hereshe said
Kyouko-san too.
You should study under me too.
That gentle smile.
I don’t know about you but.you’re already important to me, I want to protect you
Michi says something.
Me too. Aren’t we sisters?
Kyouko-san lets go of Michi and hugs sister Edie with both arms.
Here.it’s been tough for you. You did your best.amazing!
She rubs her cheeks with hers.hugging sister Edie.
.What’s your name?
Kyouko-san asks.
.Edie.Edie Sexton OK,Edie.i Love You.!
A refreshing smile like the clear blue sky
Oh.this person Is really our.Onee-san. Wao!
Sister Edie begins to cry in Kyouko-san’s embrace.
.I see. This girl was actually lonely. Since she lost her family.all this time. But, there was nobody close to her to expose her real emotions to. There was nobody who would sayI love you. Neither in theassassination cultnor miss Cordelia’s organization, it’s always a place where you can’t let them see an opportunity through your heart. Thus, sister Edie was absorbed in onlyfighting Because the only thing she inherited from her grandmother was the assassination techniques. But, now. Sister Edie opens her heart to Kyouko-san. Exchanging fists.fighting.recognizing the power of the opponent. Being embraced.and toldI love you Kyouko-san always uses her whole body to confront the enemy directly.
Our offer ofbecoming sisterswas just verbal but.Kyouko-san’s always strong with her body. Now, Edie has truly become our friend
Nei-san said.
After a while, she tells sister Edie something in English. Margo-san too. Perhaps it waswelcome to ourfamily
.You never change
Miss Cordelia tells Kyouko-san.
That’s obvious. Human nature doesn’t change that easily!
Kyouko-san answers.
Then.why did you betray me?
Staring at miss Cordelia.
I didn’t betray you.
.Lies! Because
Kyouko-san stops miss Cordelia then said.
Didn’t I tell you at first?I thought you were dead
.? You were told that I betrayed you? that’s right.
Miss Cordelia answers.
Who did you hear it from?
TheCouncil.Ernest Hawk Me too.Ernest told me that you were dead in an African campaign .Is that so? That guy was supporting us when we were working together but he actually hates it secretly. We’re satisfied with thehonest priceunlike him
That man tore Kyouko-san and miss Cordelia’s duo?
Speaking of which.that just came to my mind. But!
Miss Cordelia glares at Kyouko-san
So why did you go to Japan, the other side of the earth!On top of that, you became a guard of a brothel.it’s not a suitable job for you!
Kyouko-san.
Japan is the home to my grandparents.I came to visit the grave of my anscestors. it’s the will of my dead grandfather. At that time, a certain person introduced me to old man Kouzuki.so I decided to stay in Japan for a while
.Laughter.
You’re mistaken. I’m not guarding a brothel. I’m involved in the management ofBlack Forest As an auditor!
Why is a fighter like you doing that job! It’s a job only I can do. In order to protect poor girls who have fallen to hell because of a savage, cowardly and shameless man.
Kyouko-san was sent in by Jii-chan after Shirasaka Sousuke has turnedKuromorito a mess due to his desires.
With Kyouko-san’s presence, Shirasaka Sousuke can no longer threaten the prostitutes violently. That’s the shield on Minaho-neesan’s revolutionary reform.
Of course.I don’t know a lot about managing a brothel, but
Yeah. Minaho-neesan’s talent, Morimoto-san’s management capability from the old days, and Kyouko-san’s overwhelming fighting power.the three of them combined chipped off Shirasaka Sousuke’s power bit by bit.
Slowly, taking the time. The grand sum is the revenge plan against Shirasaka Sousuke right now.
But.but.
Miss Cordelia has no more leeway.
It’s as if she returned to a maiden in love. Forcing her feelings towards Kyouko-san
Weren’t you making a harem for yourself with that brothel!
.What the hell?
Kyouko-san smiles wryly.
Kuromori Minah , Margo Starkweather, Najima Yasuko too.aren’t they all yourLOVERS!?
Cordelia.where did you hear that from?
At that moment, Cordelia’s shocked.
.Thecouncil.Ernest Hawk!
Kyouko-san lowers sister Edie on the floor.
Take care of her
.Okay
Michi hugs the crying sister Edie instead of Kyouko-san.
Minaho, Margo, Nei too.they’re not mykittens
Kyouko-san said
Lies.that’s all.
Miss Cordelia.
Because, aren’t they all cute and beautiful grls?
Sadly.those girls aren’t lesbians
Kyouko-san slowly approaches miss Cordelia.
Wait.don’t get close to me
Those girls are my preciousfamily!
Kyouko-san doesn’t stop walking.
When I lost you.I was so sad. At that time, I found these girls.
.Kyouko-san
These girls’ hearts are hurt. All of them.lost their family. That’s why, I thought. The lonely people come together.and make a newfamily!
That’s the start of the new generationBlack Forest
Cordelia.you see!
Kyouko-san spread her arms and goes in front of miss Cordelia.
.There’s no woman I love as much as you!
1. Or she might have a lot of stamina potions
2. One is heart moon, the other is two moons
Chapter 334
Chapter 334. Solving puzzles (Part 1)
I’m really glad that you’re alive. Thank you
Kyouko-san hugs miss Cordelia strongly
.You’re lying. You completely forgot about me didn’t you? There’s no way you don’t have any LOVERS .
Miss Cordelia tells Kyouko-san.
I’m not lying. When I heard that you died.I haven’t slept with anyone!
Kyouko-san smiles clearly
.Because!
Miss Cordelia turns to Margo-san and Nei-san.
You’re surrounded by these girls.
Didn’t I tell you? Those girls arefamilymysisters In the first place, those girls aren’t lesbians
Nei-san hugs me who’s lying down.
Yes. I’m not a lesbian! I’d rather have this guy!
.I’m also not a lesbian
Margo-san who still has some mental damage answers, breathing roughly
There’s no way that’s true! You’re the most lesbian face in here! Margo Starkweather!
Miss Cordelia persistently tormented Margo-san because.
She thought that she was Kyouko-san’s lesbian partner.
Margo-san’s not into anything sexual.neither male nor female will do. Her past has become a trauma to her.
But.there’s no way a prostitute won’t be able to do that.
Miss Cordelia isn’t convinced by what Kyouko-san said.
No.because she has this personality she plays the role ofeunuchin the brothel. If it’s a girl who can be interested in men then she’ll feel rivalry with other women.and the prostitutes will be careful about that. But, since everyone knows that Margo isn’t interested in men.women won’t get caught up in women’s jealousy. Besides, she doesn’t even want to be lesbian. The guard of the brothel must be fair to anyone.
Kyouko-san answers.
It was the same reason why I didn’t make a move on the girls ofKuromori. When an executive favors onekitten, then it’ll break the balance of the brothel. In addition, they’re all poor girls who were deceived by a man.it’s just too sad for girls of their age to have such trivial hate
.Kyouko You and I were uncommon force so it’s good but. If I didn’t have the power to fight.I think I might’ve become a prostitute. It’s the environment we were born and raised after all. When I was a kid in the slums of Rio, I grew up on a place filled with whores and prostitutes. I remember the smell of cheap perfume.always. Therefore, I thought I wanted to be the strength of the girls of Kuromori. It may be impossible to rescue the hearts of the children from the hell but I want to be their strength at least This is Kyouko-san’s true nature?
.What about Kuromori Minaho? What is she to you?
Miss Cordelia asks.
You know it already but.Minaho is a former prostitute. But, her body’s been messed up by men.her body can’t have sex again. When I first met her, she was severely skinny.her eyes show despair. Her little sister was also turned to a prostitute.and killed
Minaho-neesan’s little sister.Naomi-san.
Her body was toyed by Shirasaka Sousuke and others.turned to a toy, killed.
I want to help Minaho. I want to save her heart.so I made here think of how to improve the treatment of the prostitutes and.and arevenge planfor her child and her sister who died. Anything will do.as long as it becomes a catalyst for her living right now
So it was Kyouko-san who made Minaho-neesan decide to takerevengeon Shirasaka Sousuke
Ah. At that moment.I see a lot of things. It’s not only Minaho-neesan. Margo-san’s usual calmness.it’s from the strong will to control the instability of her mind at all costs. Gang raped at the age of 12, shot dead the rapists including her father.there’s no choice but to nurture a strong heart. Kyouko-san was the one who taught her that. Margo-san was able to return to her sanity from a single word from Kyouko-san. Kyouko-san has saved Margo-san’s heart over and over again. Taking the time and effort. The accumulation of it creates a strong bond of hearts. Nei-san too. To cover up the heart of Najima Yasuko’s heart which is too timid and delicate, she made the personality of Natou Nei, which is bright and gentle. Nei’s bright personality saved Yasuko’s heart. ThisNei-sanpersonality. It’s completely like Kyouko-san. Always bright, playful, funny.a strong and kind Onee-san. Perhaps.Najima Yasuko wants to be a woman like Kyouko-san. Losing her younger brother.Yasuko’s in the depths of despair. Therefore.she created a new personality with Kyouko-san as the model. Kyouko-san.no, Minaho-neesan and Margo-san cooperated in making Nei-san’s personality. If Yasuko stays.her heart would break, it’ll be hard to breathe. Just like placing a cast on a fractured bone.they cover her with the newNeipersonality and wait for her heart to heal. With a powerfulElder sisterwho’s Kyouko-san on her side keeping guidance properly.now, Nei-san has Margo-san. Minaho-neesan has become a strong woman under Kyouko-san’s influence. Everyone’s eldest sister.the thickest spiritual pillar ofKuromori, Kyouko-san. .Wait At the moment I understood.I’m shocked That key person has been absent up until now. .Does that mean! Shirasaka Sousuke.a man from the famous family has been kidnaped in Australia, and kept running away from the police and Shirasaka house. It was a really dangerous job. You won’t be able to leave it to someone but Kyouko-san. Therefore, Minaho-neesan has to do herRevengewithout Kyouko-san in Japan. We were in a really tough situation. .All this time
What do you think Cordelia? Do you now know what happened to me after we parted?
Kyouko-san looks at miss Cordelia with gentle eyes.
.I get it. I believe you
Miss Cordelia answers in a small voice.
I’ve got to punish Ernest Hawk
.True. I’ll payback three times of what he did I love you.Cordelia. Since past.and in the future as well! Me too.Kyouko1
The LOVERS kiss each other for the first time in several years.
Let’s leave that aside.
Kyouko-san lifts miss Cordelia’s body.
.Kya?
I’m going to punish you hard for bullying my little sisters! .eeh?
Kyouko-san carries miss Cordelia and turns her butt towards us.
I’m going to slap your ass 20 times
Stoop.Kyouko! Not my ass! Here comes the first one!
Kyouko-san’s ass slapping was intense.
It’s a serious slapping power like Yokozuna from sumo wrestling. In just one shot, miss Cordelia shoutsKyaa! Kyouko-san continues to slap her while smiling. After 20 slaps, miss Cordelia’s already out of strength.
Okay, that’s all! Margo, Nei, also the other girls too.could you forgive her with this?
Margo-san.
.I’ll let Kyouko-san deal with it all
Nei-san looks at me.
It’s okay right, Yo-chan?
I.
If this is going to end miss Cordelia’s threat then anything will do. I nod at Nei-san.
Sorry.this girl is just too obsessed with me, she caused inconvenience to everyone.
Kyouko-san tells us as she stroke miss Cordelia’s butt which she had just beaten.
.It’s fine. Kyouko-san came in the end
Yes, that’s it. I believed that Kyouko-san would come! We did
Margo-san and Nei-san said with a smile.
Geez.you should be independent from me already! Or rather.I’m also too overprotective coming to help.but it can’t be helped this time. Cordelia came here for a job. If it was only Cesario Viola and Lorenzaccio Bandini then I would leave it to you.and I’ll just wait and see.
Really, what a caring person.
Hey, what do you think? Cordelia?
Kyouko-san asks miss Cordelia who’s still being lifted up.
.She
.Kyouko, more
What? More, slap my ass more!
Miss Cordelia’s been madly in love with Kyouko-san since earlier.
Yo-chan, you okay?
Nei-san asks me.
Yes, I’m fine
From the shock ofShingetsu.and thejanenfrom Michi too, they’re quite diffused already.
I slowly raise my body. I still feel uncomfortable but.I can stand somehow.
Michi.are you okay?
Yes, thank you very much. Master.I’m already okay. Sister Edie is a bit depressed but.
The beautiful girl with blonde hair, blue eyes, and brown skin.doesn’t look energetic.
That person’s strength is extraordinary, that’s what I’m telling her right now.
Yeah. Sister Edie’s always been living in theassassination cult.
She’s never met people stronger than her grandmother. Even miss Cordelia, sister Edie didn’t feel her as strong .Ah Kyouko-san tells sister Edie something.
I’ll be training you. Though not to be strong enough to beat meshe said
Nei-san translates instantly.
Sister Edie’s eyes shine! She speaks fast and makes noise.
That’s what I want. I’ll become strong quickly and beat you up!
This girl.
We’ve got to make her interested in anything other thanfighting
.Maru-chan, what do you think?
Nei-san asks anxiously.
Right. When her mind’s overheating before. Minaho-neesan accompanied her all night long, that’s when she finally returned to the usual Margo-san.
Fufu.I’m fine. My mind and body are in mess but.I’m somehow able to keep myself
Margo-san answers yet her face is still pale.
I just remembered the time when I was sent to military operations by Kyouko-san.that’s also a rehab done by Kyouko-san. You won’t be able to survive if you’re in panic in the battlefield. I was alone but.the soldiers around bothers me. Therefore, I was focus myself so I can’t panic.an in fact, it turned out fine. The experience back then became confidence and everything became easier afterwards.
Kyouko-san shouts ATTENTION! to me.that was a army’s command
.Army?
No mater how unconscious I am, when my name’s called with that shout, I’ll get back to consciousness! I was schooled during the few weeks of operation. My body just reacts to it
Thus.Margo-san was awakened from the confusion?
Seki-san.Reika-oneesan, are you okay?
Margo-san calls the two.
The two of them got exposed to the full powerShingetsudefenselessly.
I’m already fine
Seki-san stands up
.I’m very sorry
Michi apologizes to the two.
It’s fine. Michimouto bet on that moment’s chance, right?
Reika also checks her body as she get up.
Rather.I’m ashamed of myself being paralyzed and unable to join the fight
She said mortified.
.Now then
Kyouko-san’s satisfied from slapping miss Cordelia’s ass.
She lets down of miss Cordelia’s body and head to the round table. The white Viola and Rosalind are totally confused, but. They can feel Kyouko-san’s unprecedented strength with their skin The two of them are waiting silently. Kyouko-san goes to chief Tanizawa who’s on the desk.
.Pops, pops. How long are you going to play dead?
Chief Tanizawa.
.You want Kimchi? Wha.What.a dream?
He pretends as if he’s been sleeping all this time and gets up.
Nobody needs that!
Kyouko-san glares at Chief Tanizawa.
.Thanks to you coming, the plan’s gone crazy
Chief Tanizawa looks up at Kyouko-san
My.what’s Pops’ plan then?
That’s right.we also want to know that.
What was chief Tanizawa trying to do with miss Cordelia? Though they teamed up.it doesn’t look like a full alliance.
My people seems to have been in quite the danger though!
Kyouko-san clenches her fist in front of chief Tanizawa.
She’s declaring war depending on his response. Kouzuki security service’s information unit with 100 machine gun men, and 20 top elites.they’ve finally gotten over the shock ofShingetsupicking up their guns on the floor. But.if Chief Tanizawa, their head is a hostage, they can’t attack. In anticipation of that.Kyouko-san approached chief Tanizawa.
Hmph! If miss Cordelia really wanted to kill Kuromori’s ladies then I intend to stop her with all my strength. That’s why there’s the machine guns and the 20 top elite men!
.What?
No.true, this is an overwhelming number just to destroy Viola’s main troop and us. Even the top elites who are in charge of other people are here. This was all a measure against miss Cordelia.
In the first place.you guys are just too good! I didn’t expect you to come this soon!
Chief Tanizawa’s angry at us.
If we didn’t come.then you guys would’ve been murdered by miss Cordelia and Viola’s main troops already
That might be the case.
It was chief Tanizwa who forbid the use of guns during the fight with Viola’s main troops. Because chief Tanizawa’s watching.miss Cordelia didn’t let her feelings take control, she didn’t kill us right away.
That’s none of your concern.if you Pops didn’t come, I would definitely come and help this children. !
Kyouko-san said laughing.
If you’re coming then contact me at least. If I knew that you were coming then I won’t do something this troublesome!
Chief Tanizawa answers grumpily.
Our side has to buy some time after all!
.Buy some time?
What does that mean?
I will be explaining from here!
This voice.Jii-chan?
Jii-chan’s voice sounds from the speakers.
I was rushed thanks to you all but.I somehow managed to be in time
Then.an image is projected on the wall.
This is?
The news from a few minutes ago.
The headline is.Shirasaka Moritsugu’s emergency hospitalization!
The newscaster speaks to the camera.
Shirasaka Moritsugu, the named Don of the mass media industry, has been rushed to the emergency room of University Hospital in Tokyo. The cause is cerebral hemorrhage. Mr. Moritsugu’s been in the middle of various debates due to the recent scandal of his nephew, Shirasaka Sousuke, an employee of an advertising agency .Moritsugu-ooji-sama
Yukino mutters.
Since old times.it’s a custom for the Masters of the subordinate who caused a problem to retire. Shirasaka house seems to have made their decision
.That’s not it.
Jii-chan worked behind the scenes to make it that way.
Shirasaka Moritsugu himself wasn’t agreeing to the end. Therefore, there was no choice but to use drugs that would cause brain damage. With this, Shirasaka Moritsugu may be incapacitated for the rest of his life. He won’t be able to express his will in words. He’ll be treated as incompetent in the future.
Incompetent? People who can’t manage their own possessions.for example, still a child, sick because of age, mental illness.incompetentis no longer used, it’s now changed toadult guardianship
Seki-san tells us.
The letter has arrived to me from the group that pushed Moritsugu out of the head house. They’ll stop hostility towards us. And.Shirasaka Moritsugu’s kill request is cancelled
Shirasaka Moritsugu has requested miss Cordelia to kill those who oppose him under Shirasaka house, and Shirasaka Sousuke and his family.
If the client is in a situation where they can’t pay the fee.the contract’s withdrawn, isn’t it?
Jii-chan asks miss Cordelia.
Yes. I can’t judge at this stage but.until I confirm Shirasaka Moritsugu’s ability to pay, the kill contract will be on halt
Miss Cordelia affirms.
They say that they will be paying the penalty.
That would be helpful. I also have to report to thecouncilafter all.
With this.
Yukino, Megu, and Mana’s dangers are gone. .I’m glad.
Umu. I appreciate your wise judgement.I managed to make it in time
Jii-chan said.
He needed to buy time. In order to create this situation?
Chapter 335
Chapter 335. Solving puzzles (Part 2)
The other one is also finally ready
Jii-chan’s voice echoes through the 19th floor.
The other one? There’s still something else?
Tanizawa.let your men down This will be an inside talk.
.Okay Kuormori people, Seki-kun, Fujimiya-kun will stay Roger.Information staff, withdraw. Wait on 13th floor. Go!
Chief Tanizawa orders, the 100 machine gun unit starts to withdraw from the door they came in.
Yasuda, Tabuchi, and Hirooka will be the center, collect the collapsed combatants. There might be some who plays dead so be careful!
Following.the 20 top elites collect Bandini’s subordinates who were taken down by Margo-san.
.Guee!
The guys who didn’t faint, took another blow to make sure they’re asleep.
As expected of the top elites, all of them have a strong body.they grab the neck of the black combatant and drag them across the floor.
Seki-kun, Fujimiya-kun.I’m sorry but could you monitor Viola and Bandini? Miss Cordelia, can you ask your subordinates as well?
I don’t mind
Miss Cordelia orders the two with her eyes.
Lord.
Does Reika still not trust chief Tanizawa? She look at me.
Let’s trust him for the time being
I answered.
We’ve got Kyouko-san, Michi-chan and Edie-chan are on our side too. They’ll protect you properly. It’s better if Viola and Bandini are on check
Margo-san said.
Okay. I’ll let everyone else guard
Seki-san answers
Take care as well. It’s this guys so they might still be hiding something.
Yes, I’ll be careful We’ll be going
Seki-san and Reika responds to me and head towards Viola and Bandini.
Oh, this boy trust those girls properly it seems!
Kyouko-san said as she look at me.
From what I heard from Margo’s report.I wonder what kind of guy you are, but. You made Ka-chan and Nagisa-chan stable like that?
.Err
Far from those two.even Minaho’s changed. She’s stable now
Margo-san said.
I also love Yo-chan!
Nei-san says as she snuggle with me.
Nei, just how much do you believe this boy?
A hundred and twenty percent! Yo-chan never lies to us.he’s kind, and he’ll never betray us! Is that so?
Kyouko-san stares at me.
He’s broken in his own way
Margo-san said.
The type that thinks his life is worthless?
That’s not it!
Michi speaks.
Master is a man who throws out his life without problem just for our sake. But, I will never let Master die. We will be living happily forever. I.No, we will
.Michi
We’refamilyafter all
Michi said.Kyouko-san thinks deeply
The thing I did to theKuromorikids was justcoping therapyin the end. It’s not a fundamental healing.but, if you change that way voluntarily, then thefamily therapywas a good thing then.
Family.therapy
We’re seriously trying to become a family however
I said with a slightly annoyed tone.
I know. If you’re not serious then it’s meaningless.that’s how it is
Kyouko-san smiles.
Oh.I see. My sense of commitment. She won’t be convinced unless she trusts me. She’s a core ofKuromoriafter all. Just like how Minaho-neesan, Margo-san, and Nei-san tested me. I have to take Kyouko-san’s trial as well.
I think that it’s impossible for you to believe me right here, right now but.please take your time to check me. Please
I said.
.You look like an idiot
Kyouko-san laughs
Normally, when you’re surrounded by women that pamper you so much.men become conceited and misunderstand. You seem to be different
No. Yo-chan’s an idiot
Nei-san said.
Yeah.he’s not too smart
Even Margo-san
Or rather. He’s too much of an idiot it’s amazing
Wait.Yukino makes a remark at this situation.
Master’s idiocy is the cute part of him
Even Michi.
Oh, I see. That’s what Margo meant when she said this boy isbroken
Kyouko-san said
His head is so Innocent
Eh.Innocent?
It’s not a complement. innocent in English was an insulting word before
.Hmm
I can clearly tell I’m being made fool of.
But.true, he might be what the currentKuormorineed right now. Everyone’s at their despair.everyone’s desperate
Kyouko-san.you see, I want to make Yo-chan happy! Katsun, Nagisa-san and Sensei thinks so too!
.Nei-san
Yeah.I think that it’s a good thing for you to find someone you want to protect. You want to be happy.therefore, it’s afamily.I see
Kyouko-san seems to be convinced, but.
I don’t get it.
.Margo, what do you think?
I don’t have any romantic feelings for him like Katsuko-san or Nagisa-san but.I think of him as my little brother. He’s a very good kid
.Margo-san
The romantic emotions are a bit different though.Ka-chan and Nagisa-chan were turned to prostitutes when they were young.I think they just want to be kind to a boy, or not only be related using sex
I see.both of them became prostitutes without even experiencing romance.
Sex always intervenes with their relations with people.
That’s why they need someone like Yo-chan. He’s not feeling conceited just because Katsun and others are loving him.in contrary, he never refuses and does his best!
What about you Nei? What.me?
Nei-san stopped thinking.
Kyouko-san, please wait.Nei’s situation will depend on what’s after this
Margo-san said
The situation after?
.How do we dispose of Cesario Viola?
I look at Viola and Bandini who are somewhat far away.
Seki-san and Reika.and the two white women are monitoring them. I see, Nei-san’s a bit frolic right now. It’s because Viola’s treatment isn’t known yet. As long as Viola’s alive.Nei-san’s heart won’t find peace.
.Yo-chan
Nei-san cuddles me.
I embrace her body firmly
I don’t know how Kouzuki-old man and Tanizawa pops will settle this but.how about we watch for a while longer?
Kyouko-san said.
Meanwhile.the withdrawal of the machine gun troops and carrying out of the fainted subordinates is over. The 20 top elites left as well. The people remaining on the floor are. Us, chief Tanizawa, miss Cordelia and her two subordinates and, Cesario Viola and Lorenzaccio Bandini.
It seems that we’re ready. Mr. Kouzuki, when in business you must face the other party properly!
Miss Cordelia shouts.
.You’re correct
.Then
One of the floor walls rises up. An elevator appears from the inside. Ding, it opens. From inside the bright elevator, what comes out is. Jii-chan and Minaho-neesan?
.Now then, let’s do our last business
Jii-chan said.
I can’t show this deal to people other from the inside. That is why we excluded Kudou and the outside guards
.Only inside?
Jii-chan looks at me.
Originally.I was going to hide to you too. However, you broke through danger and overcame so far.I can only reveal the truth to you
Then he looked up at the screen on the wall.
.Misuzu, Ruriko, Yoshiko, are you watching?
The screen shows Misuzu and Ruriko.
The image is on the basement.the monitor room.
Yes, grandfather. Ruriko-san, Yoshiko-san and I are here
Misuzu answers.
Who else is there?
Only Katsuko-san. Nagisa-sama, Megumi-san, Mana-san, are waiting in the next room as you said. Umu.Katsuko-kun. I feel sorry to ask but please watch over my granddaughters Certainly
Katsuko-nee answers.
What’s going to start?
You all as well.I didn’t intend to show what’s going to start now. However, seeing your growth now.I’ve confirmed that you’ve become adults who can endure anything
.Grandfather? Misuzu, Ruriko, Yoshiko won’t be lonely anymore. You have afamilythat will accept you whatever happens
Then, Jii-chan looks at me again
You.take care of them
.I
Even if you don’t tell me that, I.we will protect Misuzu, Ruriko, and Yoshiko-san
.I’m counting on you
Jii-chan faces the front.
Now then.let’s begin. Tanizawa, let the people in wait enter
.People in wait?
Didn’t they only buy time to work with the Shirasaka house?
It really took a lot of time to gather all the concerned people.so much we had to sacrifice the hotel entirely.
Chief Tanizawa takes the microphone
.Bring them
The doors on the left and right walls open at the same time.
Coming inside, is an unknown old men.and Jii-chan’s full time guard, Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san. On right ー Ootoku-san + an unknown old man. On left ー Choumoto-san + an unknown old man. The two unknown old men aren’t wearing suits but rather casual wear. As if they were chilling at their house and got kidnapped.
.Ootoku, Choumoto, well done
Jii-chan speaks to the two.
The two full time guards have different atmosphere from when I saw them in the theater. Could this be.I feel a strong aura like Kyouko-san, but. I see, the two of them were holding back in the theater. They must have monstrous strength in reality I guess. The unknown old men looks frightened.
.Father!
.Father too!
Misuzu and Ruriko are both surprised.
.Then this means. This old men are the two sons of Jii-chan?
My sons.Shigeaki and Shigefuyu
Oh right.the two full time guards went to protect Jii-chan’s sons, but.
Actually.they went to take them?
.Gacha.
Then, another door opened.
Another different old man comes in. It’s an intelligent looking old man wearing a suit.
Kakka.what’s going on?
The intellectual old man looks at the strange state of the 19th floor, then said.
Umu.sorry to cause you some inconvenience. Shiba-kun
.Shiba-kun?
This old man, is Jii-chan’s most outstanding talent among the executives, Shiba Okitachi?
What’s going to start is Kouzuki house’s problem, but.I want you to be an observer.
Jii-chan said.
Let me tell you beforehand.I’ve already rewritten my will before Tanizawa-kun and Kuromori Minaho-kun
.What?
Minaho-neesan disappeared together with Jii-chan. To witness the rewriting of will? Speaking of which, chief Tanizawa was missing about the same time.
First.Misuzu and Ruriko will become my adopted daughters. Therefore, my property would be inherited by my two’s daughters, and Kouzuki Shigefuyu, my biological son
.What?
The other son.Kouzuki Shigeaki? Why is he ignored?
Since of legal distributions.the wealth will be distributed into three no matter what I desire. But, I have the right to decide the breakdown of the assets to be distributed. Therefore, all of the shares of the major companies of Kouzuki group will be inherited by Misuzu. Ruriko and Shigefuyu’s child will inherit mostly cash and land Does that mean.Misuzu-san will be the next successor of Kouzuki family?
Shiba Okitachi asks Jii-chan.
That’s right. That’s what I have decided to eliminate the future grief
Jii-chan said clearly
Uhm.what will happen to me?
Ruriko’s father.Kouzuki Shigeaki asks worriedly
Who knows, I wonder. Well have Shigeaki later.Shigefuyu!
Yes.father!
Misuzu’s father replies in panic.
Actually.I also want you to abandon the inheritance rights. If possible, I would like to leave it mostly to Misuzu and Ruriko. Even if you don’t inherit my legacy, Misuzu is a kind girl so she won’t forsake you. What do you think.Shigefuyu
Jii-chan asks for his son to abandon heritage inheritance.
Of course.the inheritance is your right. I won’t force you. If you want it then accept it.
Kouzuki Shigefuyu.
Father.I was born in Kouzuki house but became a national bureaucrat and didn’t contribute anything to the development of the Kouzuki group. Therefore, I think that it’s not a good idea to give me a property of Kouzuki family
Misuzu’s father is like this.
I will be making my future with my own savings. I won’t count on father’s legacy. I also know that Misuzu’s a talented child.if you wish for Misuzu to become the head of Kouzuki house, I’d gladly support it. Above all.
Kouzuki Shigefuyu smiles.
If Misuzu inherits directly from father.the inheritance tax will be done only once
.Father, thank you
Misuzu’s crying.
Then, I will write that in the inheritance document in the morning. Misuzu and Ruriko’s procedures for adoption will be completed by tomorrow.
Jii-chan said, Ruriko.
Please wait.what about father? What’s going to happen to father?
Jii-chan.
A person who will die ahead of me shouldn’t inherit my legacy.
.Die ahead?
father.I!
Kouzuki Shigeaki shouts but.Ootoku-san holds him down
Now then.let’s proceed to business
Jii-chan turns to miss Cordelia.
Hey.what’s going on?
Lorenzaccio Bandini speaks to miss Cordelia.
Miss Cordelia laughs.
It’s been a long time ago but.your team murdered a person named Kouzuki Shigeharu in Los Angeles.do you remember?
.i don’t remember that. There’s so many people we’ve killed. Don’t expect me to remember each of them It’s a Japanese family. You killed the father.raped the mother and then killed her. The boys were killed after Viola raped them. The bodies were dumped in the Mojave desert.
Bandini and Viola’s facial expression changed.
This guys were the ones who killed Jii-chan’s eldest son!
Bitch! You sold us out!
Lorenzaccio Bandini’s angry but.Miss Cordleia’s subordinate held him down.
My, you don’t get what situation your in yet. Thecouncilhas already decided to dispose of you. Isn’t it better to make money if you’re going to be disposed of anyway, right?
You, no way!
Miss Cordelia laughs.
Yes. We have a contract with Mr. Kouzuki from the start. It was our job to bring you here.
That’s why I gave you fake information.the hotel’s security is easy, or that there’s an escape route on the 19th floor! Finally understood?
Bandini’s main troops didn’t head downstairs but head straight to the 19th floor.
Is that why miss Cordelia sent false information?
Instead of bringing you here, the subject of the deal was to bring the people of Kuromori in here, but.now that I knew what Kyouko’s true feelings are, I don’t care about Kuromori anymore. The kill request from Shirasaka house will take double the price for breach of contract.I’m satisfied
.Choumoto
Choumoto-san heads to the door where Misuzu’s father went out.
Then, he brings two heavy attaché case coming back. Then, he goes to miss Cordelia.
The payments are in gold bars.isn’t it?
Jii-chan said, then Choumoto-san opens the first case.
There’s shining lumps of gold contained inside.
I think that the amount is way more than the contract, but.
Miss Cordelia says while checking the gold bars.
This is a bonus wage. Don’t mind it
If that’s the case then I will accept it. I won’t issue a receipt but.you don’t mind it do you? I don’t want to receive an evidence from a criminal organization.
Jii-chan answers.
Then.I will hand over Lorenzaccio Bandini and Cesario Viola, and their team to you
This is a trade.
By the way.though I’ve already secured the principal offender who killed my son, would you tell me who sent out the kill request?
Jii-chan asks miss Cordelia.
Unfortunately.we’re a criminal organization. Though we sell each other, we never reveal the client’s information
Jii-chan.
Then, a different method.I will be asking for a kill job
Jii-chan’s eyes instruct Choumoto-san.
Choumoto-san opens another attaché case. Inside is. As expected, gold bars are packed inside.
I don’t know who that is but there seems to be people who have paid a criminal organization to kill my son’s family. I don’t know who that person is. I’m sorry but I want you to use your information network to the fullest, find him.and kill him
Kouzuki Shigeaki shouts from behind!
fatheer!
Ootoku-san holds down Kouzuki Shigeaki with all his strength.
.Are you serious with this request?
Miss Cordelia looks at Jii-chan’s eyes.
As the head of Kouzuki house.it’s something I can’t overlook. I.
Jii-chan closes his eyes.
Before I am a father.I’m the head of a big organizatoin!
.Understood .Please let him die without suffering
Miss Cordelia slowly heads to Kouzuki Shigeaki
Father! Father! Fahteer! Please wait, please listen to me!
Kouzuki Shigeaki is frightened as the footsteps of miss Cordelia comes closer.
.When Shigeharu dies, Kouzuki house’s successor would be the second son, you. Normally, that is. I knew that from the start!
.Jii-chan.
Therefore I wasn’t able to retire all this time.I didn’t reveal my successor. I set Ruriko and Misuzu aside so you can’t make a move on them. I removed you from the mainstream of the Kouzuki group.so you can’t engage with the key executives
.Father, that’s not it. Please wait! The Kouzuki security service was also a countermeasure when you contracted with a criminal organization to request a murder .I, I What you can only do was to wait for my death. I’ve always thought so. But, you!
Jii-chan looks down at his son with bright red eyes.
You didn’t stop planning behind the scenes!
Kouzuki Shigeaki opens his mouth in surprise.
What you fear is.me leaving the management of the Kouzuki group to Shiba-kun. As long as the talented Shiba-kun becomes the key to management, even if I die and you become the owner of Kouzuki family, you won’t be able to rule over the entire Kouzuki group. Shiba-kun won’t allow you who’s not talented to participate in management!
Shiba Okitachi looks at Jii-chan breathless.
Therefore you tricked Kouzuki Noboru, used Tsunoda and others to chase out Shiba-kun
Then.theMrin Tsunoda and other’s phones is.
Jii-chan’s second son, Kouzuki Shigeaki?
Sending a spy on the security officers of Kouzuki security service.it was you who tried to attack Shiba-kun at the airport tonight!
Shiba Okitachi didn’t arrive to this hotel because of Kouzuki Shigeaki’s orders?
I came to help Shiba-sama.
Ootoku-san said.
Jii-chan’s full time guard who’s been absent all this time helped out Shiba-san.and hid him. On top of that, it was to bring Jii-chan’s two sons to this place.
Father.father, I’m sorry!
Kouzuki Shigeaki shouts!
I.I was absolutely superior than my elder brother! It’s wrong for the first son to inherit the while house just because he was born earlier!
He who’s being hunted stops at nothing.
Why, we’re brothers and yet.I have to lower my head to my elder brother! It’s strange! That’s why I turned it all over! If my elder brother isn’t here then I would be the successor of Kouzuki house! If not, it’s strange! Isn’t that the rule? And yet!
Kouzuki Shigeaki looks up at her father with eyes of hatred!
Father keeps ignoring me! Making fool of me! Dammit! Hurry up and die, die right now, I thought of that everyday! You.someone like youu!
Miss Cordelia stands in front of Kouzuki Shigeaki.
.You’re noisy
.Shuba!
Miss Cordelia’s roundhouse kick.twists Kouzuki Shigeaki’s head!
It was turned to an impossible direction. Then it shook gently.
Chapter 336
Chapter 336. Life and death, custom and desires
.Zudaa!
Kouzuki Shigeaki’s body collapsed on the floor
.Fatheer!
Ruriko screams.Misuzu and Yoshiko-san hugs her.
To not show the body of the father to Ruriko.
Forgive me Ruriko.if you will grudge on someone then let it be me. It was all because of my wrong education.
Jii-chan looks up at Ruriko on screen and said in pain.
I was born as the eldest of the Kouzuki house, grew up completely distinguished from my other siblings. Being the born successor.is very lonely, isolated. Therefore, I thought I don’t want my sons to experience that
.Jii-chan’s not crying.
He’s holding back his emotions.
But.Shigeaki was distorted by that education policy as a result. Shigeaki was embraced by the ambitions I wished he didn’t. He said that he can’t bear being his brother’s vassal. Compared to my childhood, there was no such experience. My brothers weren’t allowed to eat in the same room as me, or even talk to me directly.
Because Jii-chan got rid of the difference between the treatment of the heir to the other children of Kouzuki house.
Kouzuki Shigeaki became arrogant as a result?
This is all my sin.the scandal of Kouzuki house. But, given the honor of the entire Kouzuki group, this event can never be made public
The second son of Kouzuki’s head house.requested an American murder organization to kill his elder brother who is the successor.I think that’s not a story that should be made public.
Jii-chan has asked miss Cordelia to dispose Kouzuki Shigeaki, his real son.
Above all.Kouzuki family is a famous name with a long history. We have an obligation to pass the baton and leave it to the next generation. I can’t let Kouzuki house end in my generation.
Jii-chan’s been trapped by theKouzuki familysince birth
That means living as the head.
Therefore.I’ve gathered all parties concerned, clarify the case, and handle it secretly. I have prepared Kouzuki security service and this hotel for this day.It was long. And finally, the burden’s lifted off my shoulder
Ending everything in the hotel owned by Kouzuki family.
Kudou-papa and the free guards shouldn’t see the last scene. Kouzuki security service personnel were withdrawn from this floor. Above all, he wanted to settle everything in private. In truth, he doesn’t plan to let us know. Misuzu, Ruriko and Yoshiko-san too.he intended to tell only Shigeaki’s death after.
.Jii-chan, you don’t intend to die, do you?
I shouted unconsciously
Fufu.I killed my son. I should die as well
.That’s just.
I’m trying to cover up everything in this case. Originally, this is an act that’s legally and socially unacceptable. I distorted it firmly with the power of Kouzuki house. Ignoring the law and society.then punishing a sin that’s neither the court nor a social sanction, it’s something only I can do myself. Death must be atoned with death. It’s a mortal punishment since ancient times.
Jii-chan’s resolved.
My last regret are.Yoshiko, Misuzu, and Ruriko.my three granddaughters. But, Misuzu’s grown beautifully.if I leave her to Tanizawa and Kuromori-kun, there will be no problems. You’re with her too.the way you handled the executives and my students were brilliant
Jii-chan’s watching it all.
I won’t have any worry with this.
Jii-chan turns to Shiba Okitachi.
Shiba-kun.I’ll entrust the management of Kouzuki group to you. As I said, I will transfer all of the shares of each company to Misuzu. Therefore, Kouzuki house will still maintain majority of the shares. Of course you can take new shares and lower the percentage of Misuzu’s shares. But still, Misuzu will remain the largest shareholder for each company of the group .Kakka
I’ll speak frankly. I don’t care about ruling the Kouzuki group anymore. I don’t want the name Kouzuki house to be crushed. That’s all. Therefore, I’ll leave the management of the whole group to you who’s the most powerful among the executives. After you become top, you’re free to change the name of the group to Shiba Group or whatever you want. However.you must promsie me that you won’t do anything that would ruin Kouzuki house Jii-chan said, Shiba Okitachi.
That is why you brought me here, didn’t you?
Yes, don’t tell the truth to the other executives. But.I want you to know everything that has happened You haven’t thought that I will inform the police? You’re a man with strict calculations.you won’t do anything that would devalue Kouzuki group
Jii-chan said.
Then.in accordance to your words, I will take office as the chief executive of Kouzuki group. In exchange.Kakkaplease remain as the adviser of the group
Jii-chan’s surprised at Shiba Okitachi’s offer.
I intend to die though?
The current Kouzuki group is united by the charisma ofKakka IfKakkadies now.the board of directors will be confused. A crack will show in the group. As an outsider of Kouzuki house, I can’t settle this. As a result, I think that the stock price of Kouzuki group will decline sharply
Shiba Okitachi tells Jii-chan seriously.
If the stocks price decline due to management failure and loss to competitors then we can make excuses. However, if the stocks lower due to a problem in the group, it won’t be good. Kouzuki group’s companies is a corporation. We are looking after the company from our shareholders!
I have over half of the stocks on every company of the group however? But still.more than 40% are individual shareholders. We cannot betray them. Please remain in the group. IfKakkadoesn’t exert his influence for now.even if you delegate the management rights to me then the group will be confused
Shiba Okitachi persuades Jii-chan logically.
I.am saying this after doing strict calculations. Please stop trying to die for now
There’s a voice from the speaker too.
We also ask of you.grandfather
Misuzu tells Jii-chan.
Ruriko-san is also enduring
Ruriko who’s hugged by Yoshiko-san is crying out.
I beg you. If grandfather dies after father.Ruriko won’t be able to live in grief!
I also ask of you!
Yoshiko-san also pleads her grandfather.
.You
Jii-chan’s heart is shaking.
.Kouzuki-sama, atoning death with death is a naive thought
.Minaho-neesan?
What do you mean? Kuromori-kun?
We do know that it’s much more painful and dreadful it is to stay alive than dying. .I also know it. Omo-chan
Katsuko-nee says on the screen.
Grandfather.it’s too selfish to die because your regrets are away.
Misuzu tells her grandfather.
If grandfather passes away now.we can never be happy!
Jii-chan.
Are you telling me to live as is? With all my shame exposed! The second son have killed the first son, and I have killed the second son! I have no qualification to live with such shame!
.I
Jii-chan.that’s wrong
Jii-chan turns towards me.
Being qualified to live or not doesn’t matter! There’s a lot of people who don’t want Jii-chan to die! That’s why, live!
.You?
I look around the floor.
The respective reasons don’t matter.anyone who wants Jii-chan to live raise their hand!
I raise my hand first.
Michi, Margo-san, Nei-san follows me. Sister Edie does as well, imitating Michi. Minaho-neesan of course raised her hand. Reika.Seki-san raises her hand. Misuzu, Ruriko, Yoshiko-san, Katsuko-nee on the screen raised their hands.
I also think that Ojii-chan shouldn’t die
Kyouko-san raised her hand while smiling wryly.
Me too.it’s profitable to have long relationships
Matching Kyouko-san, miss Cordelia raised her hand.
Seeing that, miss Cordelia’s subordinates as well. Shiba Okitachi of course raises his hand.
.Kakkalost
Chief Tanizawa raises his hand as well.
Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san.the two exclusive guards as well. The only people not raising their hand on the floor is. Cesario Viola and Lorenzaccio Bandini. .And .Shirasaka Yukino.
You’re going to live, majority decision.Jii-chan
I said
But.I
Don’t keep us repeating.go back to yoru usual unfaithful old man face!
Kyouko-san said.
We’re still not done cleaning up yet!
First.connecting the line with the executives and Jii-chan’s students.
It’s me.all the enemies have been repulsed. There’s nothing to worry anymore.
Kakka.are you okay?
Kouzuki Souji shouts across the screen.
Yes.I’m safe but unfortunately, Shigeaki died in the hands of enemy
Shigeaki-sama!
The upper floor is in turmoil.
Then.was the traitor Kouzuki Noboru-sama?
That is, yet to be known. Tanizawa and others are investigating right now. We’ll call you as soon as the report’s done .What about Shiba? We have discussed about the possibility of Shiba working together with Noboru? Shiba-kun is here. Shiba-kun seems to have been attacked by the enemy when he left the Haneda international airport. Thus, his arrival was delayed. Ah.is that so? I’m a little tired from the fact that the traitor is from the inside and that Shigeaki has died. I think that I have to step down from managing in this loom. That’s just.Kakka! No.I say that I will step down but I don’t intend to completely retire. I intend to keep an eye on the whole Kouzuki group. However.I’m just too old to be the person in charge of the group. I think of settling as an adviser or a counselor without the representative right. Nevertheless, don’t forget I have the majority of the shares of Kouzuki group companies. I will interrupt any strange management and dismiss any incompetent officials. I will continue to have that power .Does that mean, cloistered rule? That’s not it. But still, I’m going to take distance from the group small steps through time. I have to make sure that Kouzuki group stands up even when I’m gone someday. I’ve been so overprotective of you until now. I intend to watch over you as you become self-reliant. Then.who’sKakka’ssuccessor? Who will be the CEO? Of course, it’s Shiba-kun. Isn’t that obvious? . If you disagree with my decision then I don’t mind you leaving Kouzuki group. After all, I’m urging you to be self-reliant!
Following.connecting to the line on the evacuated floor of the coup d’etat of Shirasaka family
It’s me.all of the assailants were swept out. There’s no more problem. Shirasaka Fukushi-kun is in custody. He is safe. He’ll be sent there right away
I’m glad.Fukushi-chan! His phone was stolen by the enemy so he wasn’t able to contact you it seems. He said that he wants to see his mother soon .Thank you very much! Thank you very much! You have seen the news as well, don’t you? My work bore fruit and Shirasaka Moritsugu was forced to retire by the hands of his aides. Moritsugu’s kill request has also been cancelled. There’s nothing to worry about anymore Oh, I’m glad.we’re saved! As for the next head of Shirasaka house.I have strongly recommended it to be Fukushi-kun. Well, what’s left is the problem inside Shirasaka house. That is for you to deal with We thank you for everything you’ve done! I will sent my guards over there. He’ll be with you so you can head to Shirasaka house. You should strike while the iron is hot. Settle down the problems inside Shirasaka house by tonight. I’ll arrange it for you to join with Fukushi-kun at the first floor entrance Understood!
.But
Shirasaka Ayako is the only one talking. What happened to Shirasaka Hiromitsu from the Osaka TV station, and vice president Yamada? Cutting off the call.Jii-chan turns to chief Tanizawa.
Leak to the press that Shirasaka Moritsugu sent assassins to the opposing factions inside Shirasaka house
.Does that mean?
A house that hired an American assassin to tidy up the problems inside.the campaign will be that it’s dangerous to have them leading the giant newspaper and television network of Japan!
Jii-chan’s face returns to the usual cruel old man.
I don’t care about the upstarts named Shirasaka house. I don’t mind giving the next owner’s position to that woman’s son. But, Shirasaka house has created this opportunity so I will take down their newspaper and television company. Move the public opinion so that Shirasaka house must withdraw from management of media companies under their control .Certainly. Kakka
Shiba-kun.Oosaka’s Shirasaka Hiromitsu has some promise. Make a move so that only Oosaka TV station can be independent from the Shirasaka house’s group. Examine his capital ties .Understood
Then.the cleanup begins
Chief Tanizawa calls his trustworthy subordinates. One of them takes Shiba Okitachi. Shiba heads to the executives’ floor. Meeting with his son.and discussing the future with the executives. The other subordinates clean up Kouzuki Shigeaki’s body.
.Let’s have Shigeaki die at his home
Jii-chan said.
Carry him to Kouzuki first hospital. Let’s use that story
Then, I will accompany you.
Jii-chan’s third son.Misuzu’s father, Kouzuki Shigefuyu said.
He may be like this but.he’s still my brother
Then, he looked up at the screen connected to the basement.
Misuzu and Ruriko-chan, don’t worry.I will take Shigeaki-niisan
.Uncle, take care of him
Has she calmed down.Ruriko replies.
We’ll be coming late.I’m sorry. We can’t come out right away
Misuzu said.
I had the circuit of the elevator leading to theemergency evacuation room. It’ll take time to open the escape route from the inside. They have to manually unlock several closed doors by hand.it’ll take time.
Right now, Megumi-san and Mana-chan are helping, we’re preparing to get out.
Misuzu said, Jii-chan.
No, Tanizawa, replace the control circuit of the elevator. That way’s faster. Just wait over there
Yes, if we replace the unit, it’ll take only an hour
Chief Tanizawa looks at Seki-san and Reika
You two do it. You were the ones who broke it!
Okay
Reika answered embarrassed
Seki-san.here
I thought I’d return the pistol to Seki-san.
I’d be troubled if I keep it all the time;
.Hold it for a while longer
Seki-san tells me with a slightly scary face.
Why?
There’s no more problems though?
I still don’t trust this at all
Seki-san looks at Viola and Bandini who are monitored by the top elites under chief Tanizawa.
Also.miss Cordelia who’s having a pleasant chat with Kyouko-san.
Hold into that weapon until they’re out of your sight
That’s right.Master
Looking at her.Michi still has her red whip
I see.we’re like being on the same cage as the beast.
Not everything has been resolved yet.
Margo-san hugs Nei-san.
What’s wrong.Nei-san?
.Nei-san
Un.just a bit. It feels strange. The person who’s been tormenting me all this time is caught over there.
Cesario Viola’s inflicted a deep wound in Nei’s psyche. I don’t know what to do now that we’re in this situation!
Nei-san’s trembling,
I should kill him after all
Margo-san said.
Cesario Viola should die in front of Nei’s eyes. Otherwise, Nei’s nightmare won’t disappear forever.
.No
.But
Please wait a moment!
I look for Minaho-neesan in panic.
Minaho-neesan’s talking with Jii-chan. She’s a bit far away from us.
I think that he’ll be executed somewhere if Kouzuki security service takes Viola and him. This is the only chance to hill him in front of Nei’s eyes!
No.like I said, wait!
.Then
You all are crazy!
.Yukino opens her mouth.
Even though a person died in front of you.he was killed.and yet you still talk about killing?
.Yukino.you?
You all have some loose screws!
Chapter 337
Chapter 337. Gunshot
People died! You should go contact the police! You should be in trial! Don’t you think it’s strange that you all decided and consented without permission? Have some shame you people!
Yukino snapped.
She seems to be unconvinced of Jii-chan and our actions.
.Hmm. Lass, why do you think so?
Kyouko-san asks curiously from a distance.
Because.it’s not okay to judge the crime you did by yourself. Isn’t there why there’s a law, police, a courthouse who determines judgement from a fair standpoint!
Yukino answers.
Hey hey.is your head empty?
Kyouko-san says win an amazed face.
Law, police, courts?Isn’t their fairness just fictional?
.what are you saying?
Yukino’s stunned.
Kyouko-san, this girl only knows Japan so she doesn’t understand that social justice is an illusion1
Margo-san said
Oh.you just believe in what liberals say
Kyouko-san smiles wryly
The law, police and the court are all arbitrarily used by the will of people of power. Those who are without power are always insulted as they like.that’s how this world is. That said, there are also irresponsible people trying to say make a revolution.in reality, if the revolution happens, the state’s root will be broken and it’ll be chaos The country experiencing revolution takes decades to return to a quiet state I’m not saying about law or country. I’m just saying that everyone’s wrong!
What? Are you saying that the law, police, courts and country don’t make mistakes? That’s.sometimes they may be wrong but, aren’t they made to be fair to everyone, thinking about everyone? Hmm, I don’t know your standards in what’s fair but.if the laws, police, and courts around the world work as you say, then I would still be living happily in Rio, Brazil .What are you talking about I know that the law, police and courts are never reliable. At least, they’re not on our side. They’re not always the enemy but they’re not friendly. Ever since I was a child, I saw how many people around me were sacrificed
.Kyouko-san.
Therefore.I must protect myself and my friends. If the enemy attacks us with money and power then I’ll fight back with money and violence. An eye for an eye. Power for power. Just rob them money. If the surface use public authority, we will fight with the violence of the darkness. That’s how we lived on!
Kyouko-san says heavily but Yukino.
Don’t change the topic! People died! We can’t just hide it! Isn’t it the norm to come to the police properly!
It’s the same pattern as usual.
If she’s asked with reason, her emotions would explode.
Sadly.there’s not a single normal person here!
Kyouko-san’s voice echoes in the empty floor.
First, the people here are the same as me.members of international criminal organization.genuine outlawas
Kyouko-san’s eyes look at miss Cordelia and others.
Miss Cordelia smiles mysteriously
Then.genuine powerful persons and their subordinates that has the power to compete with national organizations
Kyouko-san looks at Jii-chan and chief Tanizawa.
Jii-chan’s interested in Kyouko-san and Yukino’s conversation.
Everyone are people outside the laws of the country. People who has the power they can clearly use for themselves. There’s no need for law or the state’s help!
Kyouko-san smiles.
That said, we’re not always in conflict with the state. As long as we coexist, we can have friendly relationship with both the nation and people in power. That is because we’re neither a socialist, nor a revolutionist. There’s no big deal if we want to make the world our own way. We just want to live happily with the people we love Jii-chan adds.
Unfortunately.the environment we were born and raised doesn’t allow us to live like ordinary citizens. I was born with the huge power of Kouzuki family.The country, Japan had been plotting to take away the power and control of the family many times. I fought with them.again and again. Kouzuki house is in Japan but.I think that its not good to strengthen the power of people who shake the national power further. No, it’s a bad way of saying that I fought with the nation.since there’s no clear intention in things such as the state. Who I fight are politicians and senior bureaucrat who takes away what they want with their power. They’re not as big as the nation. The few number who are vulgar comes to war using the power of the state. Therefore, I crush them with all my power. That’s all there is to it I think that’s the misunderstood point by this lass. Do you think that the country, the law, the judicial system are absolutely NOBLE and QUITABLE? ? They’re not. The country, law, and justice are only tools and power used by humans. If the person using it is corrupt, justice will never be fulfilled. Furthermore, it’s natural for people of power to rot Kyouko-san tells Yukino.
You people are the ones who don’t know anything!
Yukino’s unbreakable.
You’re trying to knead me with such a small logic.I know that!
She looks at everyone with eyes of contempt.
You should all be in prison and be hanged! You’re those kind of people! What the hell! Why evil so bossy!
Kyouko-san smiles at Yukino.
That’s right.you finally figured that out?
.What?
That’s why you should already notice that you shouldn’t talk about justice on evil people!
Yukino turns to me with a look of fury.
What about you! Are you thinking the same as this woman?
.I
I look at Nei-san and Margo-san on my side. Michi and sister Edie too. Reika and Seki-san. Jii-chan and Minaho-neesan. Then, Katsuko-nee, Misuzu, Ruriko, and Yoshiko-san on the screen.
I’m a member of the criminal organizationBlack Forest These people are myfamily
I’ve already made my resolve.
I’m resolved to live and die with thisfamily
.Is that so?
Yukino said quietly
Then.I can’t stay here anymore
Yukino walks towards the door.
Hey, where do you intend to go?
Home! I don’t want to stay here for a second longer. I don’t want to stay with you any longer! Home, where? .Isn’t that obvious, my house! Your house is filled with mass media!
It hasn’t been 24 hours since the discovery of the big scandal of Shirasaka Sousuke yesterday.
It’s just been reported that the head, Shirasaka Moritsugu has been hospitalized.
I don’t care about that! I want to go home! I want to leave!
Yukino puts her hand on the door knob but the door won’t open.
Where’s the key to this door?
Wait! Yukino! You intend to go out looking like that!
Yukino’s naked.only wearing my T-shirt.
Her feet’s barefoot.
I don’t care!
In the first place.this is the outskirts of Odaiba. How do you intend to go home?
It’s already night.
Yukino doesn’t have a single cent.
Shut up! I’ll walk home through the rainbow bridge!
No.can you even pass through the rainbow bridge with just that T-shirt?
Just say here for now! At least get a change of clothes. You need shoes don’t you?
I don’t! I don’t need anything! I don’t want to do anything with you people anymore!
Yukino glares at me with eyes of hate.
.I hate you. Don’t come close to me!
.Yukino Don’t ever try to get involved with me again! I don’t want to see your face anymore!
Yukino rejects me.
.Right. Of course. I’ve only been an existence that torments Yukino all this time. Having sex several times, it looks like our hearts communicate, but. That is just a misunderstanding. There’s no way Shirasaka Yukino could like me .That’s just. .Obvious from the beginning
.Sorry
Those words leak out of my mouth.
.What?
Yukino turns to me looking unlpleasant.
No.I don’t know what to say. Anyway, sorry. I’m really sorry!
.Then, Yukino.
Her heart explodes.
If you’re going to apologize then do it from the start! You idioot!
I raped Shirasaka Yukino.
Taking her virginity forcibly.raping her multiple times. I tore her relationship with her lover. Stole Yukino’s sister. Exposed her silliness to the students of the school. Helped out in overthrowing her father. I took her to this dangerous place. Right now.Yukino has nothing left. Friends, lover, family.nothing
.Sorry, Yukino
Yukino is now losing her bond with me.
No, there was no bond from the beginning. I’m a rapist and Yukino’s the victim That was the only relationship from the start. Therefore.I .Can do nothing but apologize.
.Sorry
I said, Yukino.
Give me a break!
Yukino’s fist hits me in the face.
It’s not a slap. Yukino’s fist hit me. Since she’s a girl, her punch doesn’t carry weight, but. It hurts for me.
There’s no way it can be settled with a sorry!
.At that time.
.Gachari.
The door placed on the wall opened suddenly!
Appearing from the door is Kouzuki Kenshi.
.Oh, so everyone’s here!
Kouzuki Kenshi smiles like clear sky.very out of place.
Iyaa, I finally came down to this floor!
.At that moment!
Uwaa!
A scream can be heard from behind.
Turning around.Lorenzaccio Bandini attacks one of the top elite monitoring him!
That’s just.they were frisked, aren’t they?
Looks like he was hiding a knife in the heel of his shoe!
Bandini pushes the top elite and rushes towards the door Kouzuki Kenshi opened!
You can’t escape!
Kyouko-san and the top elite tries to hold Bandini at once.
Everyone’s concentrating on Lorenzaccio Bandini There’s no way Cesario Viola overlooks that opportunity.
.!!
Viola also flees between the top elites.
Furthermore, he aims to break through ain a different way from where Bandini headed. In short.He’s trying to take a hostage. The most defenseless person on this floor in Viola’s sightー .is Yukino.
.Come here!
Kyaa!
Viola’s eyes are bloodshot!
Yukino screams! I jump in between Yukino and Viola! Before Viola’s hand catches Yukino!
.Bushutsu!
Michi’s red whip strikes Viola’s hand!
.Then
.Toiyaa!
Margo-san jump kick from the side bursts Viola!
.Guee!
Viola’s body danced in the air from the fierce kick and rolled down on the floor.
He twitched.and lost power.
.He died?
Yukino mutters.
Who knows.I hope he did
Margo-san answers.
Slowly approaching. Margo-san stripped of Viola’s mask. The face under the mask is fainted. It seems there’s some make up. The mustache attacked is crooked.
.Did he have this kind of face? Cesario Viola
Nei-san mutters
The face in my memory was far more frightening
Well, the Viola remaining in Nei’s head is just adding more and more scariness. That’s how memory of fear is.
Margo-san said.
Bandini on the door is caught without problems. Hey Mr. Bandini, who’s Viola’s disguise for today?
Right.
Cesario Viola has a hobby of disguising as a movie character during work.
It’s Rhett Butler!
Bandini who’s held down by several people answers Margo-san frustratedly
Clark Gable?
That’s right
I don’t get it.
Hmm.It’s right on tract but it feels likeA look-alike
Margo-san says so so he must be looking similar to some extent.
Before we reunited in Los Angeles.that guy was in front of a Chinese Theater, winding up small change from tourists dressed as Rhett Butler. However, her sister who’s dressed as wonder woman had better earnings
The young Viola and Rosalind were doing that.
He got angry from that.he stopped making costumes and concentrated on stealing the tourists’ luggage as they take pictures with his sister!
Then.on the path of evil.
Viola who’s fainted remains lying down.not moving at all.
He’s dead.killed. You people killed again!
Yukino looks at us angrily
.Yukino
Don’t get closer!
Yukino screams.
I don’t want this anymore! I’m sick of this! I don’t want this! Let me out of here!
Yukino tries to escape from the wall.
That’s where Viola’s body fell. .I
Yukino.wait!
I turned the pistol Seki-san handed me.
what.you.you intend to kill me too?
Yukino’s face distorts in fear.
That’s not it! I’m telling you to not move!
Don’t order me!
Yukino’s feet falls back.
You can’t go there!
.Yo-chan?
.Master?
Nei-san and Michi calls me.
.I see, I get it!
Margo-san rushes.
But.I I noticed that she won’t make it.
Noo, don’t kill mee!
.I thought that something’s strange.
.I felt that it is. .Therefore.
.Dogyuu!
I shot the gun.
The bullet flies straight. In a moment, it opened a hole in Viola’s body who’s collapsed on the floor.his body jumps up. Blood, spouts out The smell of smoke hits my nose.
Kyaa!
Yukino’s scream thunders.
Margo-san hugs Yukino-san to protect her.
Noo, Noo,. aa!
Yukino’s in frenzied state.
Margo-san slaps Yukino!
.Calm down!
The people’s gaze concentrates on the floor.
Viola’s body that was shot. I shot him.
.!
Yukino looks back at me.
Kyouo-san comes in. She inspects Viola’s body.
.Well done noticing it
Kyouko-san picked up a small capsule that’s grasped in Viola’s hands.
.What’s that?
A nerve gas. It’s impossible to take everyone on this floor but it’s the type that can kill nearby people. It means that he’ll take someone down with him. What a weak willed man.
Viola’s holding to a poison capsule.
He was pretending to be dead, and when someone comes near him, he’ll use this capsule.
Kyouko-san looks at Yukino.
With your position, you would’ve been surely dead.this boy helped you
But.Yukino.
You.killed
She looks at me dreadfully.
You’re a murderer
.That’s right.
I killed. I shot. With this hand. With this gun.
.I, I
Huh.what’s going on.
I feel my body’s so heavy. I’m tired. .I feel bad. I feel like my stomach’s flowing backwards. I feel dizzy.
.Yo-chan!
.Master!
I can’t stand anymore.
.Shit. I should’ve noticed this possibility!
Margo-san’s voice sounds far away
If he’s not fixated about his life.he won’t feel hesitant to take away other people’s lives!
Eh.does that mean?
Is that me?
.Murderer! Killer! Criminal!
I can hear Yukino’s voice.
It sounds very far away.
.Uwaa
.I
Then lost consciousness.
1. ooh, SJW on suicide watch
Chapter 338
Chapter 338. One more kiss
.Good morning.good morning!
..
.. ..
.Yoshida-kun.Yoshida-kun!
..
.. .Hmm?
.Yoshida-kun.Yoshida-kun!
Good.morning?
.It’s morning already? My body feels heavy. My stomach’s turned over. .What? My condition is too bad. I wish to sleep further.
.Get up! Yoshida-kun!
.Yoshida
Yes.that’s, my name.
.It’s morning already! Get up.Yoshida-kun!
.It’s noisy.
I open my heavy eyelids. .Then The first one I see is.
Ehehehehe.you finally got up!
.Mao-chan?
The angelic smile of the three year old girl fills my vision.
Good Morning! Yoshida-kun!
.Err
Ah, you can’t go back to sleep! That’s bad!
.No, I’m completely awake.
What’s going on? .I I’m on a fluffy bed. Somehow.I’m in an amazingly luxurious room. The curtain’s are closed so I can’t see outside the window, but. Morning light is shot from the gap. Yeah.night has already ended.
You see.Mama said that you didn’t take a bath last night and just slept, so let’s take a bath!
Mao-chan tells me.
Do you get it.Yoshida-kun?
No.uhm
Me.bath?
It’s not just Yoshida-kun.Mao will join in too!
Oh.the two of us.
Or rather.
Hey.Mao-chan. Where’s Nagisa?
Not just Nagisa.
Where’s everyone else. Or rather.what’s this room? At the moment the doubt comes to mind. The door opens and Nagisa herself appears.
Oh.awake? I’m glad
Nagisa smiles gently
Looking at it, there’s one chair besides the bed I was sleeping on. Nagisa was watching over me?
.Where’s this?
We’re still in the hotel. It’s close to the top floor.I had Shige-chan lend us all three suite rooms. This is one of them
Then that means.
Everyone else is in another room?
Mao.get the bath ready
Eh, Mamaa
Mao-chan doesn’t seem to want to leave my side.
We’ll be coming right away.you can help out can’t you?
I look at Mao-chan
Please.Mao-chan
Mao-chan smiles.
Okaay !
Saying that, she head to the bathroom.
You don’t have to run.it’s dangerous if you fall down!
I can run just fine〜!
The noisy angel leaves the room.
Inside the room is only me and Nagisa. Nagisa sits on the chair next to the bed.
Were you able to get out of the basement right after that?
I explore my ambiguous memory.
It took more than two hours after you lost consciousness. That’s when the elevator was restored. But still, everyone were at the limit of their mind and stamina. It was impossible to use the escape route where it’ll take time to open. If we went that way, we can’t get any help from outside
Taking the trouble of removing the lock from the inside one by one.
The only person in left in the basement who has the physical strength would be Megu.
Is everyone safe?
Yes.they’re safe. Everyone is. Don’t worry
Nagisa smiles.
Yeah.that makes my heart feel lighter.
.Ruriko?
Misuzu and Yoshiko-san escorts her and went home first. She has to prepare for her father’s wake .Right Their guards are Seki-san and Michi-chan. Edie=chan wanted to go but Kyouko-san held her back
Sister Edie’s completely attached to Michi.
But.it’s worrying for that girl to be in the funeral of a member of Kouzuki family. She’s likely to pick a fight with a guard of another family that came to burn incense. In the first place, she doesn’t know the atmosphere of Japan funerals.
The police are on the grounds of this hotel. But, Shige-chan doesn’t let the police enter above 19th floor. Therefore, we’ll be fine here. When we’re about to head out, we’ll just contact Tanizawa-san and.Kouzuki security service car would send us off
Police? It should be on the variety show this morning.
Nagisa turns on the television with a remote.
In the screen.is the whole view of the hotel we’re at. Oh, the messed up ー flooded first floor is reflected.
A hotel in Odaiba is raided by a 120 men Russian Mafia murder group!
Those were the headline.
The situation’s covered by helicopters so don’t open the curtains
I see, that’s why the windows are shut off.
Nagisa changed the channel, a moderator and commentator talks.
But still, why would someone like Shirasaka Moritsugu try to borrow the power of Russian Mafia to destroy his enemies?
He must be getting impatient. They’re on the crisis of downfall after all. But.for a newspaper person who believes that pen is mightier than sword, isn’t it surprising for them to hire a terrorist? Well, we don’t know what’s going on inside Shirasaka house after all.
Nagisa turns off the TV.
Shige-chan made everything Shirasaka Moritsugu-san’s fault
.I see
In fact, the people opposing Shirasaka house stayed here last night. The kill request of Shirasaka Morisugu was a matter of miss Cordelia’s business.it was not the main purpose of the hotel raid, but.
The people of Shirasaka house doesn’t know anything behind the scenes so they just forced the owner to retire you see? Shige-chan declaredIt’s all your faultso the media is reporting as Shige-chan says. It seems that Shirasaka house will pay for the hotel repair expenses and compensation pay for the closed down businesses.
.That’s cruel.
.That’s very Jii-chan like though.
Only this case, Shirasaka house also covers the situation of this hotel on the same tone as the other stations. Shirasaka house’s control on the newspaper and television companies is now over. The world will never allow Shriasaka’s name to become a top company.
Then, the people close to Jii-chan will be holding down the newspaper and television companies either way.
Well, the head house will still be one of the major shareholders. But, Shirasaka clan who works for group companies in the future won’t be ahead.
.Ahahaha
A dry laugh overflows.
Anyway, the immediate worry is gone.
Megu and Mana’s life is no longer in danger.
Nei-san.won’t be attacked anymore. Cesario Viola’s dead after all. I shot him dead.
You really did your best
Nagisa says.
I haven’t done anything helpful to anyone
That’s not true. You haven’t received any special training.you’re just a high school student and yet, you’re such a kind and hardworking boy that’s why you did the impossible. You did all your best until you fall. .That was my limit I guess.
My body’s so dull.
My stomach feel sick. My whole body’s screaming .Yeah I’ve been on an extremely dangerous place last night. At the brink of life and death. I was tense last night so I didn’t feel it, but. I forced my mind and body to it’s limit.
Right. I’m a normal human. No, rather, I have less power than an average person.
The ones who actually fought are Margo-san, Michi, Seki-san and Reika.
I was being protected. Kyouko-san was the one who saved the crisis. Because of me hurrying things up.in the end, I felt like I was just interfering with Jii-chan’s plan. I didn’t help out at all The sense of inferiority and defeat wraps me up
.Dear
Nagisa embraced me tightly.
Soft and warm body.
You really did your best. I saw it. I think you should be proud of it!
.Nagisa
Nagisa kisses me.
.Then
Rather.it was us who didn’t do good depending on you too much. You bore the burden and went beyond your limit
.!
I.killed a person
.I’ll tell you Minaho-san’s message
Nagisa looks into my eye.
First, you are free.understand that you don’t have to feel any obligation towards us
.Free? Yes. Minaho-san’s first proposal is.
Nagisa continues to talk sadly.
If, you want to leave ourfamily.this is a hypothetical talk.Minaho-san will prepare a new family register for you. You’ll be given a sizable amount of money as well. You can live a new life with a new name.in a place far away from us. If ever you don’t want to see us again.we can move to a foreign country. We’ll never show ourselves to you again. Because, we want you to make your life to the fullest.
There’s no way I would wish for that! Don’t think about us for now.think of your own life as a priority. Understand that you can redo your life as an ordinary high school student! I don’t want you to think that your life is over!
.Nagisa
.There’s no way I would abandon my family because of that!
A life without everyone is just.
Minaho-san’s second suggestion is.you have to chose afamilyto live with
.Choose If this continues.you’ll be crushed by shouldering everything yourself. If so.then, isn’t it better to limit it to the only family you think it’s comfortable and easy to live with? .What do you mean? Minaho-san said that it’s best for your mental stability to stay with me and Mao in my house but. You can live with Katsuko too. Katsuko-san, Megu-chan and Mana-chan. Renting a house for four people
Rent a house?
Why not themansion?
Even Misuzu’s place will do. Shige-chan will prepare a house for it. She’s attentive and gentle. I think it’s good to live with Misuzu, Ruriko-san, Yoshiko-san and Michi-chan in places Shige-chan backs up.
.That’s Anyway.Minaho-san said that you should narrow it down to a range of people. If you’re always worried about everyone, you’ll fall down in anxiety. Of course, you can change on the places as you like. For example, you’re worried about Ruriko for now aren’t you? .Yeah Then, stay up with Ruriko until she’s settled down.when you think it’s okay then go with Katsuko. That is okay too
.But
And, the last proposal.Minaho-san said that you should stay away from the criminal organizationKuromori. Therefore.don’t enter themansionanymore, and never see Margo-chan, Kyouko-san and Minaho-san herself ever again.
.There’s no way I’d do that.
.Minaho-neesan.
Minaho-san’s the most depressed now. Minaho-san wants to be your teacher forever. She regret that she put you into danger
.Oh
Dammit.what should I do? .I
.Uhm, what about Nei-san?
I ask Nagisa.
Nei-san’s name hasn’t come out
Nei-chan’s on hold. Nei-chan is in state of shock right now.
.What?
Though the real Viola died.Nei-chan’s fear of Viola that has been eroding her all this time hasn’t disappeared yet. The balance of reality and mind is being tipped off
.is that so? Yes.she can only take time to stabilize. Everything has changed so suddenly after all.
It’s because I shot Viola in front of Nei-san.
How about going on a trip with Nei-chan for a while, for about one month. There’s an option like that too.
Nagisa said.
Anyway.Minaho-san’s proposal is too long to be understood but.Minaho-san wants you to stop thinkingIt can’t be helpedorI have to do something It’s the same as giving up your life
So I won’t have to give up on my life.
Even I.I want you to choose what you want to do. We will support you whatever you choose I don’t mind feeling lonely as a result of it. We want you to be happy.
.Nagisa.
What are you going to do in the future?take your time to think about it
Mao-can pops out of the door.
Ihihihi.it’s filled with hot water!
Please.come in with Mao
Nagisa smiles at me.
Since she’s three years old.she’ll be fine as long as you take care she doesn’t drown
Then.she said.
It’s her long time dream to bathe with her father
Bath! Bath! Rururu!
Mao-chan happily scatters around the clothes around the dressing room.
I think while taking off my clothes. Nagisa’s last words. Does Nagisa think that I will abandon them? So, in order for Mao-chan to make her last memories. I’m going to take a bath with her.
Uwa, it’s a peepee
Mao-chan looks into my crotch
No, you don’t have to look at that part
Why? Uh.Mao-chan’s embarrassed being seen naked, right? I’m fine! It’s Yoshida-kun after all! .What? Yoshida-kun is Mao’s papa right?
Mao-chan smiles happily
Right.I promised with this girl. Certainly.I made a promise.
Yes yes, before you take a bath, wash your body properly first!
Mao-chan tells me smiling.
Take a shower
.Okay Pour out the water .Okay Wow.so coold! It’ll be hot water right away Yeah.it’s getting warmer. Okay, Yoshida-kun, take a sit here!
Mao-chan makes me sit.
I’ll pour in the shower!
She does to me what she usually do to Nagisa.
I just let Mao-chan do what she want in silence.
Okay, I’ll wash your but too
Her small hand washes my butt.
Here, I’ll wash Mao-chan too
Okaay
I pour the warm shower on Mao-chan’s small body.
That’s enough! I also washed my butt so let’s take a bath now!
Err
What should I do?
Yoshida-kun, go in first! Then you hug Mao in front!
Oh.I see.
I can hold Mao-chan in the bathtub.
What small hands.
Looking at it again.Mao-chan’s hands are really small.
It’s like a miniature of an adult’s hand.
Not just my hand! Mao’s all small
Mao-chan’s angry.
Oh, well of course
Yoshida-kun’s big No I’m not. I’m just around average in class You’re bigger than Mao!
Well.of course.
Hey, speaking of which, why is Mao-chan calling meYoshida-kun1?
You see.Sensei tells me to do so!
.Sensei?
.Minaho-neesan?
She saidhe has to go back to his starting point
.I see
So I won’t get trapped inKuromorihouse. So I can reset my thoughts once more.
Hey hey, can you do this?
Mao-chan sinks the towel into the hot water and makes a bubble
Bukubukubuku.kyahaha
I’ll make you a bigger bubble
I stuffed in as much air as possible and let the bubble flow out.
Wahahaha, amazing, amazing!
Mao-chan laughs.
Hey hey, Yoshida-kun.it’s fun!
Which.the bubble? No! It’s fun to take a bath with Yoshida-kun!
.Mao-chan
It’s fun to take bath with Mama but.there are times where Mama’s tired
What do you do at those times? Mao gives Mama a massage!
The mother daughter pair has a lot of troubles too.
Ah, Yoshida-kun.you have to wash the back of your ears!
Mao-chan climbs up my body.and rubs the towel she’s been playing until a while ago to my ear.
You see.Yoshida-kun. Mao.has a request!
Then, she looks straight to my face.speaking shyly.
What?
There will be a sports day in Mao’s kindergarten the next day. The other children have their, Papa, Mama, Grandpa and Grandma coming, Mao only has Mama. So.
.I
Sure. Go. I’m coming too
.Really? Promise? .Yeah. I’m not lying I promise
I made another promise.
Uhii.Yaay!
Mao-chan happily smiled.
.I see. .Right. .Dammit
Hm.What’s wrong? Yoshida-kun?
.I
.Nothing
In the end, I.
I’ve made so many promises. I can’t just run away from those promises I’ve made. Promises are meant to be kept. I tell myself inside.
.Does your stomach hurt?
I’m fine Mao will give you a hug then!
Mao-chan’s small hand embraces me.
.What a good girl. Mao-chan.hugs me. I’ll protect this girl for all my life. I promised to be this girl’s Papa.
I’ll be a good Papa for Mao-chan!
Yaay!
I can’t speak about dependence.
I must protect her even on death. I’ve got promises to fulfill.
I.will become Minaho-neesan’s brother.
Katsuko-nee’s brother, and man. Nagisa’s man.Mao-chan’s father. Nei-san’s brother. Misuzu’s man.and owner. Megu’s lover.and husband. Mana’s.brother, and master. Michi’s master. Ruriko’s brother. Reika’s lord. I promised to be Jii-chan’s grandson.
I made promises.
To make them happy. I have to do all my best to do what I promised. I can’t be dependent anymore. Whoever I am. Whoever I killed, are all irrelevant. I’m no longer allowed to be depressed about such things.
In order to protect my family.
I’m coming in!
Nagisa’s also naked.entering the bathroom,
Mama, Mama, it’s trouble! Yoshida-kun’s crying!
Mao-chan reports to her mother.
At such times, you give him a kiss! then, sayI love you
Nagisa said.
I love you?
Mao.do you like him? I like him! He’s Mao’s Papa!
.Mao-chan
If you think so then tell him in words and give him a peck. It won’t be conveyed if you just think of it!
Yes, Mama!
Mao-chan looks up at me smiling.
.Yoshida-kun! I love you! Chu!
Her small lips touches mine
I love you too.Mao-chan!
I also kiss Mao-chan on her cheek!
1. Mao-chan calls him in hiragana よしだくん
Chapter 339
Chapter 339. Good Morning
Mao, try to stuff in. Mama’s coming in too
Okay Ufufu, the bathrooms in the suite room are wide. The three of us can fit in.
Warm bath water.
Soft body. Nagisa, me, Mao-chan. I’m being embraced by Nagisa from the back and I hold Mao-chan in front. Mao-chan’s playing with the water.
.As expected, your body is still tense
Nagisa’s finger pokes my back.
Tense.me?
Yes, your whole body’s stiff, chattering
Saying so, Nagisa massaged my shoulder.
Here, take a deep breath.
Mama, Mao too? Yes.join together, Mao
Mao-chan looks up at me smiling.
Okaay, then let’s take deep breaths! Breath iin!
.Suu
Exhalee!
.Haa
Breathe slowly.take a long and deep breath!
Mao-chan speaks like a teacher.
She learned it from kindergarten. Don’t worry about it and just play with her
Nagisa smiles.
Okay, inhaalee!
Suu
Okay, exhalee!
Haa
Yes. Imagine yourself melting into hot water. I don’t mind if you put your weight on me.
.I’m not heavy? It’s okay.you can lean over me
Nagisa whispers to my ear.
She hugs my chest from the back tightly
There’s nothing to be afraid of.it’s not scary at all
Nagisa’s plump chest touches my back.
I can feel her nipple clearly.
Mao and I are here. We’ll accept you without any rejections.
.I know Okay, let’s continue our deep breaths!
So.I take deep breaths while sandwiched between mother and daughter.
My heart and body slowly loosens.
.It’s gotten softer
Nagisa’s finger caresses my arm and chest.
Let’s see, Mao will examine too!
Mao-chan’s small hand touches my chest.
Mao-chan, that tickles
I hug Mao-chan and kiss her.
Go and wash Mao’s body and hair
.Eh?
You’re going to take bath with Mao don’t you? You have to learn how to wash a girl’s hair
Yeah.you’re right
I’m Mao-chan’s Papa.
During times where Nagisa’s not with her, I have to wash it. There’s a lot of things to remember when taking care of a small girl.
Uhuh.Yoshida-kun, wash me!
Sure.Mao-chan
Then, I wash Mao-chan’s head.
Her hair too, carefully
Close your eyes, it hurts when the soap enters your eyes
Wow, Yoshida-kun’s saying the same thing as Mama! Just do it Okay !
Mao-chan washes my body in return.
As for the hair.since she has no strength, it’s soggy, and Nagisa took over halfway. Nagisa washes my hair to the root, it felt pleasant. Then, I washed Mao-chan and Nagisa’s body. Mao-chan laughs, overflowing with youth.
Mao, if you’re too frolic in the morning, you’ll get tired right away!
But it’s fun!
I wash away the soap bubbles on Nagisa’s back.
Mama.Mao feels like it’s extremely fun!
You see, that’s called happiness? Is Mao happy?
Mao-chan thinks for a bit.then looks at me.
Yes. Mao might be happy! Yoshida-kun!
Then, I wash Nagisa’s hair.
Women’s hair.when you wet it with water, it becomes lifeless. I hung the long wet hair on the side and rubbed both Nagisa with shampoo from both hands.
So that’s how you wash it
That’s right. Mao, help him out. Okay !
After shampoo, next is conditioner.
I massage Nagisa’s hair. It’s glossy.it doesn’t feel strange.
Mama’s hair is like a kelp!
.Mao-chan
You know, those that are swaying in the sea?
Mao.I’ve told you many times already, the kelp in the sea and the kelp in miso soup are the same! No way! The miso soup kelp isn’t as big as the ones on the sea!
Mao-chan insists strongly
We went to a sea aquarium during our excursion. When asked which fist was the most interesting, this child answeredKelp!.
She’s fond of kelps?
Or rather, I wonder if this unique personality is something to rejoice at.
Don’t look so worried.it’s the children’s privilege to say strange things. You don’t have to mind all of it
Nagisa smiles at me.
Yes yes, you don’t have to mind it.Yoshida-kun!
NihihiMao-chan laughs.
Coming out of the bath.
The change is in there. Reika-oneesan has prepared last night
It’s a change of underwear and a shirt.
Did Reika buy it?
The first floor of the hotel is soaked.so she has gone to a nearby convenience store
I’ve got to thank her later.
She should’ve bought some ingredients as well. Katsuko should be cooking breakfast
.Breakfast?
There’s a kitchen in the suite for Katsuko. There are some foreigners who would like to cook while staying after all
I see.
Though there’s no problem with the facilities of the hotel.there’s no clerks around. It’s closed until the field verification is over.so it’s a secret to the police that we’re staying. Room service are also unavailable
It seems that someone recovered the clothes I took off from the theater in the hotel.
.I’m glad. Minaho-neesan’s grandfather clothes, Katsuko-nee fixed the size to fit me. All of them are taken.
The hotel laundry can’t be used for now. The clothes we took off will be taken home
Nagisa’s on her bathroom for the time being.
Mao-chan’s also wrapped in bath towel.
Wait.women really takes time on this part
Saying that, Nagisa uses the hair dryer on Mao-chan’s hair.
We’ve got to dry it properly.
Yeah, if not you’re going to catch colds
I said, Nagisa laughs.
There’s that, but.when it’s naturally dried, it will look like it exploded. That’s our hair type
I see.
I don’t have a long hair so I don’t understand
If you’re bored then go watch the TV
No.I’ll watch here
Nagisa dries Mao-chan’s hair.
Next is Nagisa’s hair. Mao-chan helps out too. I just watch all the time. It’s not boring at all.
.Interesting?
Yeah, very We’re always doing this though? No, it’s just that it’s my first time seeing this
I was taking baths with grandma when I was little, but.
Grandma never used dryer or anything of sorts. My mother. Mother’s room that are absolutely off limits are the bath, restroom, and the dressing room so. I’ve never seen this kind of scene.
Dear, my back please
Nagisa takes off her bathrobe and puts on her bra.
She puts her rich breasts in the cup and turns her back on me.
Ah.sure
I fasten the hook on the back
Katsuko and I are fine because we carry a replacement underwear out of habit, but. I wonder if Megu-chan and Mana-chan are okay
Usual habit.
The two of them were prostitutes after all.
Can I wear the panty myself?
.What? You’re the one putting on Misuzu-chan and Megu-chan’s panties, aren’t you? That’s.what they wish for. It’s not that I’m that particular about panties Oh, is that so?
But still.Nagisa wiggles her butt to entertain my eyes.
Yoshida-kun! Dress me up!
The naked Mao-chan runs towards me.
Mao’s clothes are there. Mao’s underwear was washed and dried up last night. I’m glad I did
Wow.what a small panty
This is surely easier to dry off.
Mao-chan, raise one of your feet
Okay!
The obedient Mao-chan follows instructions.
What a good girl. I somehow managed to dress up Mao-chan.
Wrong, Yoshida-kun.you’re one button off
Oh true, sorry It’s fine, it’s fine.you can just remember bit by bit.Kishishi!
Mao-chan said and laughed.
Taking care of children is troublesome But, I’ve got to work hard. Meanwhile, Nagisa’s changed to the same clothes she wore yesterday.
We’re putting on light make up. We’re only meeting up with everyone but.if I don’t have make up, Katsuko will laugh at me
Saying that, she takes out a foundation from her pouch
Mama, Mao too, Mao too
Okay
She also applied a small foundation on Mao-chan’s face too.
Then, adding a bit of eyebrow. Adding a few color on her lips as well. Just a bit of make up turns her to a face of an adult woman.
After we eat breakfast.we have to go to the store. I had my stock this morning delivered directly from the flower market but we have to prepare before opening
Oh right. We’re still in the middle of Golden Week, but.
Nagisa’s shop isn’t closed.
We have a customers related to flowers.the iris on seasonal festival sells well
Should I help out in your store?
Nagisa smiles.
Take care of other girls instead of me Everyone’s worried about you.some of them are depressed. Therefore, take care of them
Then she touched my crotch in a way Mao-chan won’t see.
Watching your sleeping face.taking a bath together is enough for me. I can work energetically today as well!
.Nagisa We can have baby-making next time again.
Sex with Nagisa is baby making.
Nagisa wants to be pregnant.
Oh right. Can Mao stay with everyone? Today’s a holiday for kindergarten. I feel sorry to leave her alone in the house
Sure.I’ll look after her You don’t have to do it alone. I’ll ask Katsuko and Margo-chan too
Nagisa crouches and look look at Mao-chan’s eyes.
Mao.can you stay away from Mama until night?
Mao-chan.
Okay, I’ll stay with Yoshida-kuun!
We go to the next suit across the hotel corridor.
Megu and mana came out when I ring the bell.
Good morning, Onii-chan1
Good morning, Yoshi-kun.
The two of them want a good morning kiss.
I kiss them in turns.
me too, I didn’t have my morning kiss!
Mao already had a lot of kisses!
.Err
When you want to kiss.or want to do it then don’t hold back
Nagisa gives me a rich kiss.
.But Megu and Mana are wearing waitress uniforms of the hotel restaurant. It’s an orange apron dress.
Oh, this? It’s hard to stay in dress all the time so after consulting Reika-oneesan, we borrowed the hotel uniform
Megu explained.
Look, after this we’re going to slip out of the police on-the-spot investigation, so it would be conspicuous to be wearing a dress.
True, it would be unnoticeable if we look employees of the hotel, but.
But, for young girls to be wearing waitress uniform.
What’s wrong? Is it strange?
Mana looks up at me worriedly.
No, it’s cute. Too cute I’m worried that it’ll stand out.
Well, we’ll somehow manage
Nagisa said smiling.
I’m glad.Yoshi-kun
Megu cuddles with me.
.I was worried
.Sorry Mana too!
Mana hugs me from the back
I also hug the two .Nununu .This feeling
Mana, you’re not wearing underwear?
Yup!
Mana smiles bashfully.
This girl.she’s waiting for me to do her. She’s grown up ash she’s not asking me directly.
Yoshi-kun, you smell good.did you take a bath?
Yeah, along with Nagisa and Mao-chan I didn’t do anything that’s educationally bad so don’t worry
Nagisa answers smiling.
That’s because he’s going to bang Mao-chan when she’s at age already!
.Err
Anyway.I want to see everyone’s face soon
Everyone’s in the back room It’s amazing!It’s a suite room!
Megu and Mana sandwich me in between.
.Look, it’s an old Japanese Novel. There’s a story that you have to steal the potty where they shit and look at it, right? When you look inside, the woman notices it.it contains fake shit made from fragrant tree.and the man dies in agony
I can hear Kyouko-san’s loud voice.
Or rather, what are you talking about so early in the morning.
There’s no way that novel exists!
.This voice is.
.Yukino?
There’s one. Ryunosuke Akutagawa’sAmorous, right?
Now this voice is.miss Cordelia?
Eh.why is she here?
Oh, good morning? You look better. Your eyes are back.good!
Kyouko-san said as she look at my face.
good morning
Now then.since the man has come in, I’m going back
Miss Cordelia stands up from her seat.
Oh, the female Viola and Rosalind are here too.
You don’t have to be so cautious. You’re Kyouko’sfamilytoo aren’t you?Then I’ll let you live even if you’re a man
Miss Cordelia said smiling wryly
You showed me some guts.let’s get along from now on
.What?
She’s my partner so I think she’ll come to play once in a while
kyuouko-san.
Miss Cordelia’s coming once in a while?
You too.it’s our first time talking directly Katagai Nagisa-san
Yes.nice to meet you, miss Cordelia
I see, Nagisa was in the basement last night so she haven’t met miss Cordelia.
But, she has investigated about Nagisa on investigation stage.
You’re, Mao-chan?
Miss Cordelia tries to talk to Mao-chan, but.
Mao-chan somehow knows this woman’s danger so she hides behind Nagisa.
My my, what a shy child.so cute
Margo was the one who named Mao
Kyouko-san tells miss Cordelia.
Oh, Margo Starkweather thinks like that?
.Thinks?
Mao Zedong bookis the only reading I can think of that
Cordelia.that Mao is different
Kyouko-san looks troubled.
Go already. If you stay for longer, Tanizawa Pops would be troubled
I know. I’ll contact you later. Yeah. I’ll wait.it’s impossible for tonight though. One of mylittle sistersis depressed. True.but, I want to see you before I go back I’ll be sure to make time.I won’t let it pass I’m looking forward to it
Miss Cordelia heads to the exit.
Bye, everyone. Megu-chan and Mana-chan too, bye
Bye, Cordelia-san Good bye
Mana and Megu replies.
These two seems to have talked with miss Cordelia while I was away.
Stay healthy. Yukino-san
.I don’t want to see you again
Yukino’s turns her face away
Well then, everyone.have a nice day
Miss Cordelia leaves with her subordinates.
.Haa
Mana leaks a sigh
Well done
Kyouko-san said laughing
You were being careful so she doesn’t feel unpleasant. Megu-chan and Mana-chan
yeah.it was scary It’s okay. She knows courtesy. I think that she also knows how Mana-chan felt
Kyouko-san said
Especially.the girl who’s been having bad temper all this time
Kyouko-san looks at Yukino
.What?
Or rather.why are you still here?
No, thinking about it. True, there’s no other place than here. But still, she’s sitting with such an arrogant attitude.
Don’t misunderstand.I don’t want to be in this place. Really
Saying that far.Yukino looks for words to say,
.But, how should I say it.I just thought that I should be here when you wake up. That’s why I’m here. That’s all!
.I don’t get what that means.
That’s why I ignore it.
.Where’s Katsuko-nee?
In the kitchen. She’s preparing breakfast
Megu answers
Err. Misuzu, Ruriko, Yoshiko-san, and Michi came back earlier in preparation for Ruriko’s father’s funeral. Seki-san should be with them too. Reika.she must be doing work for Kouzuki security service.
I have to call Edie. She was hiding in that room until Cordelia goes away
Kyouko-san stands up and tries to search for sister Edie.
Minaho-neesan and Margo-san?
.With Nei-san
I see.
Earlier, Kyouko-san. She said that one of herlittle sisteris still depressed.
It’s on that room. You should go and take a look!
Kyouko-san tells me.
Chapter 340
Chapter 340. We shall Overcome
Margo’s worried about you too
Kyouko-san tells me.
Right, I fainted.
Got it, I’m going then
I try to head to the room where Nei-san is.
.Then
Wait a moment
The door opens and Minaho-neesan appeared.
Ah.good morning, Minaho-neesan
Good morning.show me your face
Minaho-neesan stares at my face
.What?
.Looks like there’s no problem
.Prooblem
You seem stable. Should I say as expected of Nagisa-chan?Mao-chan too of course
Kyouko-san smiles
Little girls cures all sorts of diseases after all1
Err.
I won’t deny it. If Mao-chan tells meDo your bestafter running a full marathon, I feel like I can go for another 42.195km more.
You.do you not know how much danger you were in?
Minaho-neesan speaks to me holding both of my shoulders.
.Danger?
That’s what Margo was afraid of!
What is she afraid of?
It’s not that I’m.
Margo has always been worried about the danger that you would become a man who’s not hesitating to hurt and kill people
.Me? Humans get numb on a sensation when they get used to it. That includes people’s death .Okay Not hesitating to use violence in order to protect the family.it might be unavoidable but it will be strange if you get too used to the violence. Using violence on people for just a trivial thing.feeling easy to kill people. There’s a lot of them in my line of work. Guys who lose their brakes. Those guys can’t be worked with. They dispose people with some reason. Just being with them is dangerous
Kyouko-san said.
It was expecially dangerous for you.since the situation is too special
.The situation is too special?
If you didn’t shoot Cesario Viola in that timing.nearly half of the people on that floor would be dead. Therefore, you were right to kill him. That’s situation 1
.Yeah
In the first place, Cesario Viola is Nei’s enemy, he’s a real scum that nobody would complain whoever kills him. Therefore, it shouldn’t matter that you killed him. That’s situation 2
.Right.
And, that place was an insane and chaotic space. Just before that, Kouzuki gramps requested for a murder and Cordelia killed a man. In spite of that, Gramps and Cordelia don’t seem to be judged by the court of Japan. The outlaws of the underground society and the owner of an extreme power are together.it was a place where crimes are overlooked. Thus, in order to save people, you killed Viola.you shall not be judged. That’s situation 3
Being told once again.that’s true.
A normal human would justify their actions with the reasons I gave. Telling oneself that it’s not wrong to kill Viola. But.the head only works towards justification, the heart doesn’t
Kyouko-san said.
A murderer is a murderer. Taking away a person’s life.causes a physiological rejection in regards to the blood squirting out. That’s for normal humans.
Normal humans.
True, when I shot a bullet to Viola.when I saw the red blood. .I felt horrified. .Scared.
Let me tell you again.that one was a truly special situation. You taking a mental shock in regards to killing a person is natural as a human being but.it’s possible that the situation would cancel the shock
.Possibility.
For example, someone says.This can’t be helped so you didn’t do anything wrongdefending your murder. It’s Viola so it’s fine to kill him, orSince this hotel is extraterritorial, there’s no problem.while being talked as such, you’ll also thinkthat might be You feel your heart is saved. But, as a result.you forget self-justification, guilt.the face that you killed a person will become light inside you .Yeah
The memory of killing a person to protect thefamilywill be memorized in your head.the disgust and shock your heart felt that time would be forgotten. The, what do you think will happen?
Kyouko-san keeps talking as she observe my reaction.
Next time you get in trouble.you’ll become a person who uses more violence than necessary. You try to solve problems with violence, and your brakes won’t work anymore.
You’ll lose the fear of hurting people
There’s a possibility of becoming a violent person.
You were lucky back then.Yukino-san was there. She’s a girl who screams around her emotions when her head’s nervous, not even reading the atmosphere.
Minaho-neesan looks at Yukino.
What’s with that. It’s as if you’re making a fool of me!
Yukino’s angry.
She’s got no awareness so she’s the real deal!
Kyouko-san said looking amazed.
If you’re a person with a bit of kindness to others.then you can’t say those horrible things on the spot. The situation back then was hopelessly dangerous.it was an unusual world. Yukino-san who brings the common sense of the everyday world and screams out her emotions is the clear madman. She’s a lass whose ego is beyond saving.but it was fortunate that she threw her daily world’s common sense to you.
Yukino’s puffing.
Somehow, it feels like I’m being told that I’m messed up though.
Kyouko-san and Minaho-neesan ignores Yukino.
As a result.you were brought back to the everyday world. I must not kill people, and it’s horrible to hurt peoplewas the priority inside your head
Therefore, you didn’t overstep the line
.line?
Illegal.the outlaw world shouldn’t be taken for granted. Just like me
Kyouko-san laughs sadly
But, I.am a member ofKuromori, a criminal organization. I already belong to this side
You belong to a criminal organization but.staying on which side of the line is another thing. You’re still on the side of ordinary people. You still have the common sense in you .Common sense? What’s common sense? Is that important?
Yukino asks.
Asking that question means that you’re really a foolish girl who grew up spoiled. Well fine. Let me tell you
Kyouko-san said while smiling wryly
Humans are a group creature. Creatures that can’t survive without making agroupcalledsociety And yet, it’s a creature where each one has a will
I’ve heard about this before.
Societyas agroup.always look for optimal conditions and changing. At the same time, theindividualalways aim for the optimal situation. This is usually calledthe pursuit of happiness However, there are many cases where the optimization as an individual and as society confront each other. I think it’s easy to understand when you compare it to companies.for the companygroup, its easier to reduce the personnel expenses and yet.theindividualwhich is the employee wants to raise the salary even a bit.or something like that .I see.
The group and individual aren’t always conflicting but.there’s always parts where the optimization is incompatible. However, in case of humans, the individuals can’t continue to survive unless they organize as a group and the society isn’t allowed to crush an individual as long as the individual is in the society. That’s why a compromise is needed .Yeah
Therefore, in order for the society and individual to coexist.the group has to endure. This is a fine rule that the individual must endure. This iscommon sense In each group.it’s decided within the relationship of the group and individual. Therefore,common senseisn’t always constant. It changes according to the group But, things like you shouldn’t kill, you shouldn’t steal.those common sense is universal isn’t it?
Yukino refutes.
Well of course. That’s because thecommon sensecomes from the fundamentalliving instinctof humans. If you can’t keep that strange common sense, it’s impossible for the group to be organized you know?
True.if a murderer or a thief lives unregulated, you can’t condition the society.
Now then, any kind of animal group will always produce a stray. You know the talk about some percent of worker ants don’t work at all? It’s prepared to respond to sudden changes in the social environment. It’s thefluctuation In Saruyama2, thestrayis always chased out every year. The alpha male of the boss monopolizes the females and drives out the young males out of the herd. Both of those grow stronger outside the herd, then beat the old boss and take over the herd. Thestrayis an absolute necessity in the group .Stray
In human society.usoutsidersplay that role. Because we’re deviated from the social common sense, we can directly cut off the affected part of the society directly.
A crime is a crime! You’re just self-justifying your crimes!
Yukino snarls at Kyouko-san.
Well, if you look at it with eyes of common sense.
Kyouko-san laughs.
What I’m trying to say is.either way, the common sense of the world is bigger, and it has a base. The world of outsiders is a world where common sense is not necessary.thus onlyoutsiderscan survive. Ah, theoutsidersin this case isn’t just outlaws and criminal organization. Even powerful people like Kouzuki house areoutsidersbecause they deviate from the world of common sense.
Minaho-neesan looks at me with kind eyes.
You can just stay in the world of common sense. No.please stay there. And if we step off the right track, or lose what’s important, tell us
.Minaho-neesan.
We’ve already crossed the line after al
Then.she looks at Megu and Mana.
You two, stay with him. By looking at you young ones.we won’t be drowning in the world of insane.
.But
.Minaho-neesan, I’ve already.
I’ve killed Cesario Viola.
I can no longer turn back
Minaho-neesan.
.Did you kill Cesario Viola because of hate?
.That’s
You didn’t, did you? You tried to save everyone.and as a result you killed him
.Yeah I won’t say it’s an accident.I know it’s hard for you. But, it’s not that you wanted to do it, do you? .Yeah
Minaho-neesan hugs me.
.I will carry that burden with you for the rest of my life
.Minaho-neesan
The emotions overflow from the inside.
.I’m here with you
Nagisa hugs me from behind.
Me too.Yoshi-kun
.Onii-chan
Megu and Mana cuddles with me.
Yoshida-kun! Get well!
Mao-chan too.
.I
You can cry if it’s painful. Cry a lot.
Minaho-neesan tells me.
We’ll drink all of your tears.
At that moment.
My tears overflow. The emotions I’ve piled up explodes inside me.
uu.uu.uu!
I can’t speak but groan.
My body trembles.
Geez.you still have this much accumulated!
Nagisa scoops my tears with her tongue.
Me too!
Megu and Mana licks my face.
I. I lost my voice. Just.tears falling down.
Don’t worry. We’ll never leave you.never
Minaho-neesan said.and licks my tears.
Mao too, I want to lick!
Okay, sure
Nagisa carries Mao-chan
Ufufufu!
Mao-chan’s small tongue licks my tears.
It’s salty! Yoshida-kun!
Feel refreshed?
Kyouko-san asks me laughing
.Yes
I’m finally able to speak.
You seem to have overcome it
Over-cam? In Japanese.it’s getting over it3?
Kyouko-san smiles.
As long as you live.you’ll experience a lot of things. Even painful, sad, or traumatic experiences too. But, confront it, accept it, understand it, make it your experience.and unless you overcome it properly, the experience will remain as an obstacle in your heart. If you don’t go through the process of experiencing your experiences, you can’t digest any memories.
I wonder if I overcame Viola.
Yeah.that’s right. In this boy’s case.it’s better for you to digest the downside in your heart completely. Before meeting Nei.
Kyouko-san looks at Minaho-neesan.
I’m a little rough you see.I can’t win against Minaho’s tenderness
Kyouko-san is delicate enough
Minaho-neesan answers.
It’s just that Kyouko-san is always thinking from theoutsiderperspective.
I’m trapped in that thought you see. I thought that having him meet Nei while having a bomb in his heart is good for both of them, just like shock therapy. That’s a battlefield mentality. True. For now, it’s better to take time and choose a reliable method Yeah.Minaho’s calmness is right
Kyouko-san’s convinced.
Yoshi-kun.no matter what happens, I like Yoshi-kun. That feeling won’t change.
Mana too
Megu and Mana clings to me.
But, I.Cesaio Viola.
I’m a murderer.
I.pulled the trigger with Yoshi-kun Therefore, Yoshi-kun’s pain is mine as well
.Megu
Yeah, Mana.will take Onii-chan’s pain together
.Mana
I was told by Minaho-san.show a usual face until Yoshi-kun lets out his emotions properly.
Therefore, Megu-oneechan has been holding back until now
.Does that mean?
If these girls said at firstyou did nothing wrongyour heart would be confused, won’t it? Therefore I didn’t let them touch about Viola first
.Yeah
If the two defended me killing Viola as soon as we see each other. I think I would’ve closed my heart. Wrong. That’s not it. It’s my fault!like that.
By the way, why aren’t you clinging to him?
Kyouko-san asks Yukino.
Yukino goes aloof.
Haa? Why me?
Don’t you also
LOVE
this guy? There’s no way that’s true!
Yukino snapped.
In truth.I hate it that Yukino’s here
Megu said.
Me too, desu
Mana too.
But, I thought that Yoshi-kun would be glad if Yukino is here when he enters the room.so I held back
Me too, desu What are you saying! I came here by my own will!
Yukino shouts.
As expected, let’s throw her out the window
As usual, Mana’s cruel with her sister
Well, don’t say that.we’re having breakfast soon you know?
Tell Katsuko-san that Yukino-san doesn’t need her share
Hey hey, Mana
Instead of that.both of you go and help Katsuko-nee
Yeah.you’re right, Yoshi-kun. I was worried about Yoshi-kun so we came to this room True. Katsuko-san saidGo on, I’ll be fine
.Katsuko-nee.
Katsuko believes that you’ll be fine if left to Nagisa. She’ll heal you
Minaho-neesan said.
Misuzu-san is also so mature
Mana said
.Misuzu?
Yup. If it’s Danna-sama, he’ll definitely recover. Misuzu knows it.she said She’s worried about Ruriko-san right now.so she said that she wants to be by their side
.Misuzu
Michi-chan too.I have to guard Misuzu-sama, and I’ll just accept Master’s scolding latershe said
She saidI have a clear Idea what master needs from me right now.
True.if Michi guards Misuzu, I can feel relieved.
Did Michi move ahead knowing my feelings?
Both of them are amazing. Yet, we’re just moving around.waiting for Yoshi-kun to become well
Me too, desu.
Megu and Mana’s face turn gloomy.
It’s fine. It’s fine for people who are not in hurry to be absent minded. It’s fine to take it easy. Japanese are always too ahead ondoing something
Kyouko-san said.
Anyway, go help out Katsuko-nee. Okay?I’m going to Nei-san
Okay Sure, Onii-chan
Megu and Mana head to the kitchen.
Then.how’s Nei-san doing?
I asked, Minaho-neesan.
Well you see.
Minaho-neesan hesitates to speak.
Did something serious happen? Kyouko-san answers instead.
To make it short.she returned to Yasuko.
.Yasuko?
Not Natou Nei. But Najima Yasuko?
1. Except pedophilia
2. hill in a monkey enclosure at a zoo 3. By Bennet Foddy
Chapter 341
Chapter 341. Brother
The fear of Cesario Viola and the trauma from the days when she was confined has been confined inside Nei’s heart the whole time. With Viola dead, the balance inside her mind is lost
Kyouko-san tells me.
You do know that Natou Nei is a personality Najima Yasuko made so that her own heart won’t break, don’t you?
Yes, I know that
The real Nei-san.Yasuko is a girl who’s too meek and delicate.
When we stayed under the principal’s room, Nei-san has talked about her past.
When we came back to Japan.a lot of things happened
Minaho-neesan said sadly
Nei entered out school but.at that time, her name was already Natou Nei. The name Najima Yasuko can’t be used.
Why?
I asked.
Najima Yasuko in the census is still missing in the US. We came back to Japan with counterfeit passport made in Los Angeles. We used the Chinese Canadian name Mei Lin If we applied for Najima Yasuko’s passport reissue, Viola would find her whereabouts.that’s the reason why
But.the school? I all forged the papers in our school. Therefore, she has a student register but.Natou Nei isn’t supposed to exist in Japan. It’s just a Canadian named Mei Lin staying in Japan. Could it be the reason why Nei-san had to repeat a year. That’s one of the reason she can’t graduate. She has a student register but.she’s normally a child who can’t be enrolled. Even studying abroad as a Canadian.Nei’s never lived in Canada in the past. I can’t leave documents with pictures everywhere. Do you understand it?
Nei-san’s photo was uploaded to the criminal’s network and Viola identified her and went to Japan immediately.
Therefore, the Canadian Mei Lin is in Japan on a short term visa. She has to go out of the country once every 90 days to get visa
Well, Canadian embassy is anywhere in the country but.my face is effective with American embassy staff so I often went to America. If we’re not careful, it’ll be exposed that it’s a fake passport. We head over there on a private jet.we try not to face other people except for customs staff. We’ve always stayed on a place that’s a closed villa for the rich. Then we never come out of there. Well, she had practiced driving a car with Margo though. Oh.she’s got an international driver’s license in a Canadian rural town Kyouko-san explained. Despite of Viola’s presence.they’ve come to America so many times because of that reason?
That’s why Nei-san often takes a day off from school
That’s not the only reason
Minaho-neesan said.
I put Nei in our school.wanting to let her live as a normal high school student, regain her brightness, but. Nei has also entered the chorus club at the start of the class, but.
What happened?
From what I know.the Kendo grounds was burned down and the arsonist was Nei-san.
That girl was still having black hair back then.she’s a beauty that would make any men look at her. She stood out too much within the campus. But, she’s in reality a shy girl
Yeah.She would be in a mess if men were coming to attack her.
On top of that, there were many staff members who have the same tone as Shirasaka Sousuke.so she’s been harassed in various ways
Shirasaka Sousuke’s looking for girls in our school as prostitute candidates.
Katsuko-nee and Nagisa.and Iwakura-senpai were turned to prostitutes.
He has a grudge to us for stealing Nei in Los Angeles. Thus, his protégé male teacher attacked Nei
That’s the incident when Nei-san was in first year.
Well, Margo was a student at that time so she was able to protect Nei somehow. but. The teacher who attacked Nei is paralyzed. The kendo grounds he used as a stronghold was burned down as a result
Then, anyway.we kept Nei and Margo away from the general students. It would be troublesome if Shirasaka Sousuke’s catastrophe befall into Nei’s friends or something. That man would do that without any problems
If Shirasaka Sousuke attacks Nei-san’s friends.there’s no response.
If he takes a hostage and threaten Nei-san and Minaho-neesan.
Thus, the girl herself avoided making friends inside the school. Not going to the chorus club.she still has her membership however. An official departure hasn’t been issued
.Nei-san
Without Margo-san who’s her only friend in the school. She’s been lonely all this time. Though she’s registered as a student.it’s a counterfeit so she can’t graduate. She can’t make friends. She’s singing alone on the rooftop of the school building.
But.even if Nei rejects them, other students will still come for her you see? Especially the boys. Then.she joined up with Margo, pretending to be a delinquent who’s too dangerous for ordinary students to approach. So, Nei dyed her hair blonde and wore blue contact lenses
A girl who’s too beautiful like Nei coloring her hair blonde and her eyes blue would make her stand out more you see.she creates an atmosphere where normal children can’t come close to her
Kyouko-san says so but.in reality, Nei-san’s isolation just deepened.
Nei made a personality like that to adapt to the image of a delinquent girl, but.in order to comfort her loneliness, Nei thought that her true character won’t be able to endure it
Everyone’s convinced of the current Nei-san.
The delinquent blonde haired girl, Natou Nei’s personality.was born from that .But
That’s wrong, Kyouko-san
I said.
Nei-san.longs for a woman with a strong personality like Kyouko-san. That’s why she imitates Kyouko-san’s personality.which results to the current Nei-san
Thinking that if it’s a woman like Kyouko-san.she’ll be fine no matter what situation she’s in
Nei, me?No way
Kyouko-san laughs.
No, I think that he’s correct. Nei thinks she wants to be like Kyouko-san
Nagisa who’s been listening to the talk.answered.
Because.I’m just a muscle head girl
No, I think that Kyouko-san’s middle cuts are refreshing and are fascinating for me Hey hey, nothing will come out even if you flatter me.In the first place, I’m a lesbian I too like girls. But that’s not the topic.I think Nei-san longs for Kyouko-san’s way of thinking, of living with such confidence in oneself Nei thinks that she’s hopeless, that she can’t do anything herself. Even about herself
Minaho-neesan said sadly
Yeah.in the end, she closed herself in her shell
Kyouko-san also shows a troubled face.
Nagisa fell silent too. Megu and Mana are playing with Mana-chan while listening to our talk in a way they don’t disturb us .I
Uhm.I’ve got an idea. Could I have everyone’s attention?
In order to realize my idea.
I need Minaho-neesan and Kyouko-san’s cooperation
What? Say it
I begin to talk quietly.
Nei-san is in one of the several bedrooms in this suite.
.Konkon
I knock the door
.Who?
This is Margo-san’s voice.
She must be accompanying Nei-san all this time.
.It’s me
The door opened
Margo-san looks down on me worriedly
.You okay?
I’m fine Well.come in
I enter the room.
Nei-san was in the bed. Nei-san looks at me.
Uhm.are you okay?
It’s not Nei-san.
This is Yasuko
Because of me.I’m sorry
Tears spill off.
No, it’s not Nei-san’s fault. It was mine.I was careless
Margo-san blames herself.
I imagined what would it be like if you had a gun. And yet.in that situation, I have overlooked Seki-san handing over the gun to you
Speaking of which.I was told not to hold any guns.
If I had a gun, I wouldn’t hesitate to shoot.Margo-san has noticed that before.
Err.Uhm
I laughed gently
Is there a problem?
Margo-san.
Because.I’ve made you carry the cross of killing people
I.
Yes. I shouldered it.I’m finally same as everyone
The two of them look at me in surprise.
.Minaho-neesan, Katsuko-nee, those who are prostitutes in the past. MArgo-san who killed the person who raped her. Nei-san who can’t help out her brother.I’m finally able to stand on the same place as all of you!
I’ve already gotten over it.
And.the experience I had can no longer be changed. The only way is forward. With my face raised.facing forward.
Reach towards Nei-san.
Margo-san.please teach me martial arts starting today. It’s not to become stronger. If ever the opportunity arises that I have to use violence.if it’s to protect the family, then I will do anything. My resolve won’t change.I don’t want to do excessive injury on people I use violence on so I want to be able to have brakes That’s right.I
The beat up stick Margo-san gave me.is a weapon that won’t be able to kill even if I beat up the opponent, right? Margo-san purposely handed me a weapon that only has that amount of destructive force.
The beat up stick.is a short stuffed golf club that’s cut off.
If the grip is long then it’s possible to crush the skull of the other party by applying centrifugal force, but. If you swing something that short, the destructive power of that extent won’t come out.
Even if one hurts people.it doesn’t lead to killing. You chose this weapon so I won’t cause any fatal injury to the other party by mistake due to my recklessness. Margo-san has been worried about my mind issues for a long time. Thank you very much
Right now.various things have really come to light.
Margo-san and Minaho-neesan.has been taking care of me in various ways.
With that thought.I want it to be thoroughly charged in my body. No, even if I can’t hurt the other party if possible.I think it’s best to learn the skills to be able to stop Please teach me. Please. !
Moving forward.
I can’t stop. I have afamilyI need to protect. There’s no choice to move forward.I must be active and not be greedy.
Okay, I get it. I’ll train myself too. Polishing skills where you can’t kill thoroughly.
Yes, we may be a criminal organization but.we’re not murderers
If I could protect thefamilythat’s good enough.
.Are you really sure?
Yasuko speaks in a timid voice.
What are you saying this late.Nei-san
I smiled.
I’ll drag out the Nei-san from inside Yasuko-san.
We’ll be together forever.I’ll protect Nei-san
Yasuko looks at me.
By the way. what kind of place is America?
I start the topic calmly
It may be impossible right now, but.I’d like to go there on summer vacation with you, Nei-san
.Eh, Why?
Nei-san’s surprised.
Ah.you’re not coming? But, we can meet each other over there.and come back together
.What is this about?
I smile at Nei-san.
I asked Kyouko-san to smuggle us out of Japan. I don’t know how to do it.maybegoing out to the sea with a fishing boat and board a cargo ship at sea? Or jump from an island to another using an airplane.then ride a ship. Anyway, I’ll let Kyouko-san choose the route
Why are you going to sneak out of the country? Couldn’t you just take a passport and fly with an airplane normally?
Margo-san looks like she doesn’t understand it as well.
Speaking of passports, Nei-san leaves the country with her usual Canadian passport, right? Thus, she can go to America anyway. Oh, come with us too Margo-san. Then, in there’s someone in Miami Japan consulate who’s close to Kyouko-san so they’ll meet up. Kyouko-san and Minaho-neesan will come
.Miami?
Nei-san doesn’t figured it out yet.
That’s where we’ll issue Najima Yasuko’s passport. he girl who’s been missing in US is coming home. There’s no more cruel criminal coming for you, Nei-san. Let’s burn the counterfeit passports in Miami. You’ll come home as Najima Yasuko!
Nei-san’s eyes comes back to life.
If we come back from the America.we can use your original family register. Even in high school, it won’t be fake documents anymore. You can graduate. Isn’t that great?
.That’s right.
Nei-san will follow the formal procedure.and come back home. Then, reclaim her lost life.
Un, I agree with that. That’s better, Nei
Margo-san’s also pleased with my talk
But.I understand about Nei however why do you have to sneak out of the country?
I was waiting for that question.
My passport will also be made at the Japan consulate in Miami.
.I
Nei-san.I’ll definitely fulfil the promise I made.
.Promise? That’s right. Didn’t I promise to become Nei-san’s real brother?
.I’ll move forward.
.Far more forward. By myself, actively.
In Japan consulate in Miami.I’ll become Najima Keito. The siblings who went missing in US.will be coming home together!
I’ll take over Kei-san’s register.
That’s the path I’ve chosen.
.You’ll be Kei-chan?
Nei-san’s surprised.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that the lost Kei-san has to be erased. It’s fine for Kei-san to stay alive in Nei-san’s heart
That’s right, I’m not Kei-san’s substitute.
I just want to be Nei-san’s little brother.
When we return home, Minaho-neesan will process adoption papers immediately. Therefore, I’ll be Kuromori Keito. Minaho-neesan said that she’ll build a grave with the name Najima Keito.for the late Kei-san
Nei-san stares at me.
Therefore.I’ll just take over the family register and Kei-san’s name. No, I’m really sorry that someone like me is going to take over the lost Kei-san, but. But, I’ve made my decision. I’ll never leave Nei-san’s side. This is the only way in order to be with Nei-san for the rest of our lives!
Once I’ve become the younger brother in the register.I can never leave her.
Even if I die, I can’t leave.
.You’re serious?
Margo-san says as she look into my eyes.
But.are you sure? Are you fine with that life?
Yasuko asks me
The live I had until now is nothing.
But, you.you’re going to throw away your past for me.
I.
I don’t care about my past. The future where I can live with Nei-san is much more important!
.Yo-chan
The Nei-san comes back from inside Yasuko-san.
No, that’s not it. I’ve only been with Nei-san, not Yasuko-san so. If I’m going to be with Nei-san in the future. Yasuko-san has to awaken Nei-san’s element in herself. By doing so. Yasuko-san and Nei-san will be fusing gradually. Slowly taking their time. That is the real reason why I have to be Nei-san’s brother. Yasuko-san is too fragile. Nei-san thinks that her personality is an act. By fusing the two somehow. A new Nei-san who can survive no matter what will be born.
From now on, I’m Keito. Ah, but.Kei-chanis the name of the lost Kei-san. Please think of a new way to name me
.That’s Ah, too troublesome. Kei will do. Call me!
I proposed.
I’m Nei-san’s brother. I’m the brother so Nei-san can depend on me. Anything will do. I’ll allow it all, forgive it all.
Err.
What should I say after this?
Anyway.I love Nee-chan!
Tears spill out of Nei-san’s eyes.
Like a grain of pearl.
Love.I also love you.
Margo-san pushes my back.
I go to Nei-san’s front. Then.we hugged each other.
I’ve loved you since the first time we’ve met. Nee-chan
.Un. Thank you. Thank you.Kei I won’t let go anymore Me too.I won’t let go
We can’t become lovers.
What Nei-san needs isfamily.a brother. Therefore, I’ll love my sister as the brother.
Sorry, I.think I won’t be able to leave Kei anymore.
That’s fine
That’s what I wish for.
We’ll be together forever.I’ll bear Kei’s child, raise it with Kei.and grow old together Are you still okay with that?
Isn’t that obvious, it’s okay. I feel sorry for Kei’s wife
I laugh and look at Nei-san.
There’s no one among mywomenwho cares about that. Everyone will accept it happily.
.Is it okay? I’m with you so have some confidence. You’re everyone’sonee-san.Nee-chan
Nei-san leans her body on me.
Can I do it?
You can.you’re my dear sister Yeah. I’ll entrust my mind and body to Kei. If I’m with Kei.I’m not scared of anything
Nei-san hugs me tightly.
Hey.Kei. Should we have sex?
Chapter 342
Chapter 342. Breakfast table
Have sex with Onee-chan
Nei-san.
She was kidnapped by Cesario Viola along with her twin brother, Kei-san. Viola who’s a homo who likes good looking boys raped Kei-san.thus they were allowed to live. Nei-san is also an amazing beauty and yet.Viola completely ignores her value as a human. Viola used her as a tool to torture Kei-san. That has turned to a bottomless trauma in Nei-san’s heart. Nei-san tried to give her virginity to Kei-san. The confined Nei-san had nothing else to offer him. But, Kei-san doesn’t want to embrace Nei-san’s body. Viola’s little sister, Rosalind died along with him. Nei-san’s helplessness.remained as is.
I feel like my time won’t move if I don’t have sex with Kei
Nei-san said smiling wryly
Does Kei not want to do it with me?
I.
Of course.I don’t hate it but
.But?
Nei-san looks at me with serious eyes.
.I don’t want to do it here
I answered.
After a moment. Nei-san starts to laugh out.
What’s that.Kei? You sound like a woman!
Nei-san laughs.
Then.
But, you’re right.there’s no need to hurry. Shall we go back to the mansion and take it slow?
.Uhm, Nee-chan What’s up? There’s a place I want to take Nee-chan to Eh, where? .Uhm .Does Kei want to have my first time there? .Yeah
Nei-san smiles.
Okay. I’m fine anywhere.if that’s where Kei wants
.Thanks Then.where’s that place?
I answered in a small voice.
.My house
.What? It’ll be the last time I will return to Yoshida house. I’m never going back to that house.so I want to show Nee-chan my house
The house where I grew up.
The shabby sofa which was my bed.
.Kei
Nei-san looks at me.
I.I’ll give up my past up until now. From now on.I’m going to live by thinking only my future with Nee-chan
Therefore, I want only Nei-san to see.
My past.the world I’m throwing away
Got it.Kei
Nei-san’s hand pats my face.
.Onee-chan will go with you
Margo-san who’s been observing us until now opened her mouth.
Now that’s decided.Nei, go wash your face. You might also take a light shower. Katsuko-san’s preparing breakfast and everyone’s waiting for you
Margo-san smiles.
The family’s waiting for Nei to show up with a cheerful face!
That’s right, Nee-chan! Hurry up.here!
I pull out Nei-san from the bed.
I get it, I get it already!
Nei-san gets up laughing.
The bath and shower room is that door.
Margo-san points out smiling.
This suite has a bathroom for every bedroom.
Yeah.I’ll be back in five minutes!
Nei-san disappears behind the door.
.Fuu
Margo-san leaks out a huge sigh.
Thanks to you.it somehow went well.
She looked at me then said.
I think that it’ll be hard but.I’ll leave Nei to you
Yes, I’ll stay with her forever
I’ve made my resolve.
I think that it’s a good idea to make Nei call youKei
Margo-san said.
Nei putschanon nicknames on people she get acquainted with
.Yeah That looks like she’s trying to make friends but actually, that’s different
.It’s not to show intimacy?
By approaching the other party yourself and usingchanas the guise of getting along.in fact, it’s a sign for herself to not step further from that. Nei refuses to have someone step into her heart.
.Does that mean?
Yes, she calls meMaru-chan Even against me, Nei’s making a firewall in her heart
.Is that so?
Minaho as well, Nei’s calling herSenseidoesn’t she? Katsuko-san’s calledKatsun, I think she’s more close to them than me
.Why? Katsuko-san’s been a prostitute.always oppressed by Shirasaka Sousuke. For Nei who’s been confined by Viola all the time, she thinks of her as a closer existence. Kyouko-san and I who have the power to protect oneself.is on a different type than herself, that’s what she thinks
Margo-san who’s been watching over Nei-san all this time.makes a lonely analysis.
Now that you have succeeded to make Nei adress you without any suffix.I think that you’re the first person to become the closest to Nei. You’re a relative, or rather. you’re directly linked to her heart.
I didn’t mean to say it like that though.
Margo-san laughs.
I know. I understand.you’ve always been open minded to Nei
I just want Nei-san to become happy. No.I want to make her happy. No.I’ll make her happy. I!
I’ll use my whole life.
.Yeah. I’m sure you can do it. No.I’m sure you’ll be happy
.Margo-san?
.Haa. I wonder if I’m already relieved from my post now. Nei have always wanted abrother.if it’s you, you’d never do anything to make Nei sad.
Margo-san said sadly.
Margo-san is going to part with Nei-san?
No.Margo-san is still needed by Nei-san
Those words come out of my mouth.
.What?
Margo-san’s surprised.
If Nei-san’s life can’t settle down without a brother like me then.she’ll surely consult to an elder sister like Margo-san
.An elder sister like me?
.That’s right
Yes. Margo-san is ourOnee-sanafter all
I said clearly
I’m younger than Nei-san.and I’m a man. Of course, I’m a younger man so I can be helpful however.without an older woman, I think there’s a lot of things I can’t understand.
Everyone must have their share.
Therefore, I’m counting on you.Margo-oneesan
Margo-san looks at me with a dumbfounded face.
.Then, she laughed out loud.
.You’re getting stronger aren’t you?
Margo-san smiles.
I have no other ways but to go forward after all
I don’t have the room to stop and look back.
There’s a lot of things that has to be done for the family.
You’re right. Then, I’ll bring Nei with me.you can tell everyone that Nei’s better. I think they’re all worried.
Okay. I’ll be going then!
Returning to the room where everyone else is.
Huh? Nobody’s here.
Onii-chan, this way!
Mana shows up on the door next room.
It seems that they’re in the living room. I head to the next room. Looking at the table.there’s bacon, eggs, salads prepared on the table. Minaho-neesan, Katsuko-nee, Megu, Mana, Nagisa, Mao-chan, Kyouko-san, even sister Edie.are waiting for us to come before eating. Minaho-neesan is talking with Kyouko-san. Katsuko-nee’s making tea, Megu brings the tea to me. Mana and sister Edie join up with Nagisa to play with Mao-chan. Yukino’s the only one watching the TV with a serious face. When I enter.Yukino, Mao-chan and sister Edie looked at me.
It’s fine now.Nei-san’s coming right after
Everyone’s relieved.
Take a seat as well.if you’re hungry then go eat first
Katsuko-nee tells me.
No.I’ll wait for Nei-san
I answered.
Look, you’re the only one who can’t hold until everyone starts eating!
Kyouko-san calls out under the table.
.then
.Sure
Under the table.Kudou-papa’s sitting cross legged.
Kudou-papa’s eating milk with plenty of cereals with a big spoon.
I’ve heard that I could eat breakfast if I came here after all.
.Err
.But, that’s just a lie. Kouzuki-pops asked me to escort you people. Thus, I came here and there was food.
His stomach is already growling so I let him ate first
Katsuko-nee laughed, then said.
Sorry. I haven’t eaten at all since last night!
Kudou-papa throws in the cereals to his mouth like coal to a steam locomotive.
All the ingredients were taken from the kitchen of this hotel.it’s all good stuff. I wanted to make bread if I had time but.I can’t afford to borrow their oven so bear with the cereal this morning
Yeah.can’t just use the kitchen equipment like one owns it.
Currently, the hotel is closed so the cooks are absent.
By the way.you said about escorting us?
Why is that needed?
Viola’s threat is already gone. Shirasaka house also withdrew their kill request.
No, it’s nothing big. The police are on the lower floors you know? I’m needed so you can get out without making any contact with them
I see.they were doing on the spot investigation.
There’s a lot of media in here too
Megu turned up the the volume of the television matching with Kudou-papa’s words.
The morning show. Yeah.it’s this hotel. The weather today is clear.the high-rise hotel built along the Odaiba sea is shown. The telephoto lens from the outside shows the first floor lobby turned to a mess. The headline written on the screen.
Shirasaka Moritsugu’s on wild rampage? Hiring terrorists to murder his own relatives?
Russian Mafia attacked a first class hotel?
.Oh
Jii-chan’s orders last night are executed. Viola’s 120 combat troops invaded this hotel. Shirasaka Moritsugu requested to murder his relatives opposing himis what’s being reported. Us and the owner of the hotel.Kouzuki house are all kept confidential.
Shirasaka Moritsugu’s career in mass medias is over. To think that a representative of the people’s voice resorted to terrorist acts against his relatives.furthermore, it’s Russian mafia! A foreign criminal organization! Far from outrageous.this is an absolutely unforgivable act!
The commentator speaks appropriately.
Shirasaka Moritsugu was suddenly hospitalized.made to resign from the position of the chairman of the newspaper company.and is announced to retire
No, that’s natural. Rather than that, I think that Shirasaka house itself should be separated from the management of group companies. It’s unhealthy to have that family itself be nesting in the press industry.it’s truly deplorable!
Manipulating the public opinion.Shirasaka house will be chased out of their own media companies soon.
Yukino’s the only one watching that broadcast seriously.
.What happened to the contractors Kudou-san summoned?
I asked.
If I recall, chief Tanizawa dropped the fire doors of the hotel to isolate everyone?
All of them are home already!
Kudou-papa answers while eating.
Is everyone all right?
Well of course. They’re all professionals after all! That’s not it.weren’t they trapped in the middle of their job?
On the final stage of crushing Viola’s main force.
Chief Tanizawa confined them without giving a reason why. Miss Cordelia went home laughing earlier.
Kudou-san.weren’t you trapped in as well?
Kudou-papa looks at my face.
Oh I see.you know a lot of things behind the scenes that I don’t?
.Err
Don’t tell me those. I don’t want to know.and If I do, it’ll only fill up my mind.
.What?
Things that shouldn’t be known should stay as that.that’s the core of our work after all!
Kudou-papa gobbles the spoon.
True.we were suddenly trapped, and when Tanizawa Pops released us, he gaveoperation endas instruction. We don’t know what was going on. There’s no explanation so.there are some that are annoyed. But you see.we’re employed people. If Kouzuki graps or Tanizawa Pops sayend of operationthen it’s the end. What’s left is to take the reward.go home and sleep .Is it the same for Banbarubie 3 and Dai Grepher?
They all happily went home. They earned additional money from the initial promise, and even given special bonuses
.I see.
It’s not that we’re fighting Cesario Viola and his funny Russian thug friends because of hate. We’re fighting because it’s our job. So, as long as the employer gives us the promised reward.we’re totally not interested in the details, the progress, or the result of this incident. There’s no need to bother to look into what the employer is hiding. Everyone withdrew without having any big injury, isn’t that merry for all?
That’s the contractual guard.
Oh, only Dai Grepher was the one carried by an ambulance
.What?
THat guy was punished by Barbie for trying to touch Banba-chan’s butt. For some reason, Barbie’s the only one who’s able to go through his different dimension fighting strategy. He was blown away by Barbie’s phoenix phantom fist, and soaring wings combo
Thus.he got to a hospital?
He’s also in bad luck.or rather, he’s an idiot
Kudou-papa resumes eating once again.
Or rather.he’s eating only cereal
Once I take you out of the hotel, my work for today is done. I decided to take a day off. I’ve got to visit Haruka in the hospital.
.What?
I don’t know the details but.she got injured after fighting Michi in the theater, right?
Oh right.
Michi has taken down her sister, Haruka-san with Kudou style techniques.
I still have to do something father-like at least. Besides, I have to talk to my son, Shinishi. Etsuko too.
Michi’s mother, Kudou-mama.is fired along with the Kouzuki security service’s director Yamaoka.
Shinichi is a permanent employee of Kouzuki security service.I think it’ll be hard to stay in the company with her mother causing scandal but.I’ll let him decide what he wants to do in the future
You already know about director Yamaoka? The company is a bunch of people so that kind of talk is being passed on right away. What’s more important is that they’ve done something that’s absolutely unacceptable for Kouzuki security service employees .What do you mean? Kouzuki security security service is a company for guarding VIPs you know? The company knows that it’s not just Kouzuki gramps who’s here but also most of the executives of the Kouzuki group last night. A security personnel for emergencies got fired due to abandonment of work and order violations during an enemy attack. Won’t they be evaluated as worthless scums?
.I see.
Shinichi has no position as he’s a son of aworthless Even Haruka, she’ll no longer be hired by Kouzuki security service. In the end.Etsuko didn’t understand what influence her actions would bring to her family
Kudou-papa says frustrated.
I don’t care about her affair with Yamaoka at all. If she wants to divorce with me then she could’ve just said it and I’ll slap in the seal. But, above all that.she violated orders and abandoned the workplace? Those guys are too idiot for their age. Seriously!
Kudou-papa speaks angrily.
No.I know. I was sloppy.this happened because I’m not a reliable man. I know that it’s my fault. But.but you see!
Kudou-papa seems to be unable to lament.
Do you know where those people are right now?
I only know that Yamaoka got out of the hotel.I don’t know anything ahead of that and I don’t want to know either. Instead of thefamilythat got away, I must follow the family I have for now. I have to think of their future
Then.he looked at me.
I’ll leave Michi in your care. I’ve already given my permission to you.
.I
Yes. Leave this to me No.to us
.Us? Michi is a member of our family
Before I noticed.everyone in the room is already listening to our talk.
Katsuko-nee, Nagisa, Megu, and Mana. They nod looking at me.
We’ll all protect Michi-san.
On behalf of thefamily, Minaho-neesan speaks to Kudou-papa
That’s how it is.you don’t have to worry anymore!
Kyouko-san smiles.
That girl has good qualities.if she pairs up with that girl, they’ll be good warriors
For Kyouko-san, Michi and sister Edie is a set.
No.I’d be troubled if she becomes a warrior like you. That’s just my opinion
Kudou-papa replies with a bit of scared tone.
Kyouko-san’s overwhelming fighting power is also a threat to him it seems.
Well of course. It’s not good to become like me. But.I don’t want her to end up with half-baked abilities like you I’ll be educating her tightly!
Kyouko-san laughs happily
It’s fine. Margo-san is also with her.I won’t let them do the unreasonable
I followed in between.
.Then Sister Edie who’s playing with Mao-chan suddenly speaks to Kyouko-san .What?
You see.Edie-chan seems to have taken a liking to Mao-chan
Eh.Mana?
You can understand English?
Isn’t that obvious? I learned it at school.
No, I started learning English from first year middle school though.
I didn’t get what Edie just said.
Mana’s school is different from the norm
Megu tells Mana.
.Oh right. Mana’s school has a lower status than Misuzu’s school, but. It’s still a pretty famous girls’ middle school. The English conversations.is practically on a different level Meanwhile, sister Edie continues to talk.
You see.Edie-chan knows that Mao-chan is Nagisa-san’s daughter.then, she seems to have heard from Michi-chan that she’s aimouto-bunof Nagisa-san Then, for Edie-chan, Michi-chan is the same as a sister right? Therefore, by putting it all together.she asked if she’s going to be Mao-chan’sObaa-san bun!
.Hmm
It’s all about bun
Hey, Mana-chan. Could you translate what I’m going to say?
Nagisa asks Mana.
Sure, I can!
Mana talks to sister Edie in English.
It seems that she’s telling what Nagisa’s telling her. Nagisa.
Edie-san, thank you for liking Mao. But you see.you don’t have to mind the relationship hierarchy. If Edie-san wants it then she can be Mao’sonee-chandirectly!
Mana translates, then.sister Edie’s face turned brighter.
Sure, I’ll be Mao-chan’s Onee-chan! She said.
Mana said, Nagisa looks at Mao-chan.
Mao, this lady will become Mao’sOnee-chantoo
Mao-chan.
Yay.I’ve made a lot ofOnee-chantoday too! Kishishi!
She happily smiled.
Chapter 343
Chapter 343. A good sign
Good morning everyone
Nei-san enters the room with Margo-san
Showing a refreshed face.
You’re late! Everyone’s waiting for you!
Mana tells Nei-san.
Sorry, Mana!
Nei-san doesn’t usechanon herlittle sistersanymore
Nei-oneesan.have some tea
Megu immediately brings in tea
Thanks.Megu
Everyone except Kudou-papa noticed Nei-san’s change.
But, nobody talks about it. It’s fine having thefamilyknow it themselves.
Anyway, let’s eat?
Minaho-neesan said, the breakfast begins.
The dining table is filled with laughter. Nei-san, Margo-san, Kyouko-san, Mana.are talking with sister Edie in English. There are times Kyouko-san tease sister Edie but.Margo-san follows it up skillfully. Well.Edie also knows the difference in ability so she may get angry at Kyouko-san but she doesn’t revolt.
I’m still making some eggs so eat a lot
Katsuko-nee tells me.
Yoshi-kun, do you need a refill?
Megu’s being tactful.
She’s completely into being the chairman of the family.
Thanks. I want another drink
.Okay
Megu happily brings the teapot and pour in the tea in the cup.
I look at Nei-san. Nei-san hasn’t told anyone that I’ll beKuromori Keitoyet. She’s not calling meKeieither. She seems to think that it’s not the time to tell them. Does she intend to say that only to the family when we return to the mansion? Or does she not intend to say it until she has sex with me? Well.anything’s fine We have plenty of time.
.Ding dong
The room bell rings.
.Someone’s here?
Ah, I’ll go check it!
Mana leaves the table to see who it is
Then, she came back right away
.It’s Reika-oneesan!
Reika’s still in her yellow jersey from last night.
She has the cane in her hand. She enters the room behind Mana, showing her blushing from embarrassment face.
Good morning, Reika-oneesan!
Nei-san’s morning greeting is repeated by the younger ones.
Good Morning! Reika-oneesan!
.good morning
Reika answers downcast.
Please wait for a while. Reika-oneesan’s bacon and eggs will be ready soon
Katsuko-nee stands up.
Reika-oneesan, take a seat. I’ll prepare tea right away
Megu invites Reika to an empty seat.
No.uhm, I.
What’s wrong, Reika-oneesan.why so nervous?
Margo-san asks Reika
That.I
I.
Take a seat first. We can’t talk with you standing right there
O-Okay.
Reika takes a seat.
.What’s up?
Kyouko-san looks at Reika smiling.
.Uhm
It’s fine.you can tell us anything
Reika keeps looking down.
I’m ashamed of myself.
.Ashamed?
I have always been a frog in the well. I was overconfident of my own power.
You noticed it yourself? Isn’t that great?
Kyouko-san tells Reika.
You’re still young so if you find yourself wrong, then you can start over again
Yes.thank you very much
Reika obediently thanked her.
But, I.I don’t know if it’s okay for me to continue like this
What’s this about? Last night.I was introduced into the family. But, is it really okay for an odd inexperienced person like me to be everyone’s ally? Ever since I saw my reflection of my face in the mirror this morning, I became really scared
.Reika
Hmm. I don’t know about that though. I don’t know how to deal with this so, You deal with this
Kyouko-san looks at my face.
Reika.do you want to take back your words about becoming ourfamily?
No, that’s not the case. It’s just that.last night I was a fool who forgot myself.joining in your family means joining Misuzu-sama’s family. To think that I’ll be in such a big relationship with the head of Kouzuki family.Thinking about it again, I felt like it’s something I shouldn’t be allowed to. Oh, you felt shivering this morning.
Minaho-neesan said.
We’re not forcing you to anything. It’s all for Reika to decide herself
I answered
Is it okay to be this selfish?
Reika looks at me with upturned eyes.
Even if you tell me that. I have no authority on deciding on Reika’s life. .But
.No. Reika-oneesan. Once you promised to join ourfamilyyou can’t take it back anymore
Nei-san said.
Look.you too, you should get angry sayingSelfishness is unforgivable
She looks at me with strong eyes as she speak.
We’refamilyalready!
.Nei-san.
You see,.it’s not good for Reika-oneesan to leave us now. Therefore, you won’t be let go, you won’t be freed. Give it up and just eat with everyone!
.But
Nei-san said.Reika’s puzzled.
If I recall.you’re a guard?
Kyouko-san asks.
Yes. I’m supposed to be one of the top elites under chief Tanizawa. More or less
Meeting Kyouko-san who’s got a superhuman ability.Reika seems to have lost her confidence.
Your weapon is that cane? Could you take a stance?
Kyouko-san orders Reika.
No, I.
It’s fine, I’m telling you to take a stance! Reika.do as Kyouko-san says
I order Reika.
.O-Okay
Reika stands from her seat.
She holds the cane with Seikan stance, facing Kyouko-san.
That’s enough.I get it
.What? That alone made me understand enough!
Kyouko-san looks up at Reika.
You.you’re the type that took only a sword training?
.Reika
yes. That’s right
She answered bashfully.
Kyouko-san points at the bacon and eggs dish on the table.
Katsuko-chan made this you see.can you make such a dish?
Reika looks at the dishes.
I can do omelets but.I don’t have the confidence to make this beautiful plate.
Yeah.just like the dishes and bread.
Katsuko-nee’s food has the quality that can be put in a shop right away. The look and the taste too.
Why do you think Katsuko-chan can make something so delicious?
Is it talent for cooking as expected?
Reika answers Kyouko-san’s question.
That’s not it. She’s just thinking about those who would eat this. Anyway, it’s because she wants them to eat good looking and delicious food
Kyouko-san said.
Let’s see.let’s turn your sword skill to a ramen shop.
.What?
Kyouko-san, what’s with you suddenly?
You know ramen shops? If you’re obsessed with the taste of your own ramen, you won’t notice anything else
Kyouko-san talks seriously.
But you see.no matter how delicious the ramen the store puts out.if the bowl’s scratched it’s hard to eat, if the chair’s hard to sit on, the table is oblique? If the inside of the shop is small, can you eat ramen in such a good mood? Can you feel like eating delicious ramen?
.I don’t think so
Reika answered.
That’s right. A ramen shop won’t be good with only Ramen. You need better chairs and tables. The shop should remain clean. There are things you have to do other than ramen!
Everyone’s listening to Kyouko-san’s talk.
I still don’t know what’s the relationship of ramen shop and swords.
A first class store isn’t only in the taste of the cooking. You have to pay attention to the bowls, the interior of the shop must be clean as well. If you don’t care about that, you can’t really please the customers. You won’t be evaluated well. No, of course.the shops who totally take care of the cleanliness of the shop and yet the taste isn’t good is out of the question. But, you know that it’s wrong to think that only good taste will do.
.Yes You’re quite decent on your sword. I can tell only from the stance you take. But, that’s all. You don’t have anything to expand on in the future
Kyouko-san declared.
You and I are people who fight. You know that turning the word is entering the combat, don’t you?
I know.therefore.I turned my sword to Kyouko-san with that resolution
Reika answered.
You don’t get it at all!
Kyouko-san scolds REika.
When you and I fight in this room.did you assume the other people? Did you think how Margo would move? What about the old man over there? Edie? Could you make sure Megu-chan and Mana-chan’s safety? What would you do if Mao-chan jumps into the fight by mistake?
.Reika
.I didn’t think about that at all
Right? You only focused on me.you were convinced to react reflexively only in accordance to the next action I take. You threw away your thoughts to yourself! That’s true.
Reika regrets.
It’s okay if you were alone. But, how can you be a guard with that kind of thinking? You can’t protect anyone right now! You’ll focus on surviving and kill the people you should be protecting!
.Aah!
Reika helplessly falls to the floor.
You’ve been fighting alone all the time so that’s why it turned like this! You may have the real skills but your ramen shop would be unpopular!
Reika trembles.sheds tears.
I’m really a useless woman. With this.I have no worth living
That’s right! That’s why you’ll be learning household chores from Katsuko-chan!
.What?
Stay with the family you should protect.and find what you can do within the family. A woman like you who has been alone until now can’t grow up!
.Kyouko-san.
Preparing food, cleaning, washing.what can you do for everyone? How can you please everyone in the family.have Katsuko-chan teach them all one by one. That experience will surely make you stronger!
Kyouko-san stares straight at Reika.
You have to make your happiness overlap with the family’s happiness. If you do, you can be happy too.
.yes
Reika nods while crying.
Of course, you have to help out in nursing Mao-chan too. Then, go take a drink every night.don’t forget to prepare sake and snacks!
.Yes mam
.huh?
Could this be? It looks like a good talk but. Could it be that Kyouo-san is imposing housework on Reika?
It’s fine. Reika-oneesan, I will also learn from Katsuko-neesan.
Megu said.
Mana too.Mana’s going to learn too!
Mana too.
Is it okay for me to be everyone’sonee-san?
Reika looks at the two with teary eyes.
Isn’t that obvious?Right, Onii-chan?
Mana looks at me.
Oh.can’t be helped.
A troublesome person like Reika is going to be useless without us. Therefore, just stay in thefamily Okay?
I pass the baton to Nei-san.
Yes that’s right.give it up already and just be ourOnee-san!
.Right. We welcome you
Minaho-neesan smiles from what Nei-san said.
Hey, Mao.go and saywelcometo Reika-oneechan!
Welcome!〜 Reika-oneechan!
Mao-chan’s bright smile.
Thank you very much. Everyone!
Reika cries inspired.
Okay, the eggs are done! My, what’s wrong?
Katsuko-nee who came with a new bacon and egg dish is surprised at how Reika looks like.
Well, she’s crying on the floor after all.
Reika-oneesan, don’t cry over there.here, here, return to your seat
Megu pats Reika’s back.
.Yeess
Reika-oneesan returns to her seat crying.
.Somehow, I don’t understand anything. Do you make this kind of fuss every time you make a new friend?
Kudou-papa asks me.
Well.yeah
That’s right. Every time, they’re making so much noise.sayingwe’re allieswe’re family These people are really idiotic!
Yukino speaks from the side.
Yukino is only the one not on the table.watching the TV alone. Even so, she’s hungry, chomping ceareals.
Was my Michi-kun also drawn in using this?
That’s how it happened!
Yukino shouts.
Drawn in, that’s a poor choice of words!
Margo-san smiles wryly.
Anyway.it won’t be just me alone. All the members of thisfamilywill protect Michi. We’ll never abandon Michi
I promised Kudou-papa
Oh.then that’s fine. Well fine. I believe you people
After answering.Kudou-papa’s phone rings.
.hm, it’s me. Sure, I’m coming
Kudou-papa ends the call.
Looks like the car you will ride on is ready. I’m going ahead to talk with Tanizawa pops on how to deal with the police. Once you’re ready to go outside, call 993 on the extension phone. Norma-kun should answer that
Okay. 993 it is! Yeah, well then, see you later!
Saying that.Kudou-papa left the room hurriedly.
That guy is worried about Michi-chan so he came to see us
Margo-san smiles wryly.
That’s right. Checking if we’re really trustworthy people or not. He came to confirm when Michi was out.
He’s a good father.
Megu said.
Yeah. I’m jealous of Michi-oneechan
Megu and Mana’s father is.
Speaking of which.Kyouko-san, about Australia
At the moment I said that.Mana puts her finger on her lips telling me to stop speaking.
There’s still anenemyin this room so you can’t talk about that here!
Enemy?Yukino’s your sister though.
If you’re asking about Sousuke, I confined him to a place only I know
Kyouko-san answers with a nonchalant face.
Yukino’s listening here.
His whole body tied up and gagged.his ears have headphones on with loud music so I he’ll be limp without even sleep
What kind of music he’s listening to?
Margo-san asks.
Hmm.It’sMagical Girl Limit-chanandBalloon girl Temple-chan!
Limit-chanandTemple-chan.
What are those? I can tell that it’s names of household goods, but. Temple-chanis probably a guy who solidifies tempura oil. Limit-Chanis a cooking timer? Why is there a song about them? Is it a commercial song?
Well, I’ll be grabbing him later
Kyouko-san laughs.
I want to go back home soon
Mana said.
Onii-chan, let’s take a nap together in your room.okay?
For Mana, her house is no longer with Shirasaka family.
It’s Kuromorimansionalready.
Oh right.Reika-oneechan!
Mana talks to Reika smiling.
For our chores.there’s also Onii-chan’snight attendant!
What.Mana?
It’s okay! You only have to satisfy Onii-chan sexually! If Reika-oneechan doesn’t understand it well then Mana and Nei-oneechan will teach you
Mana smiles at Nei-san.
Isn’t that right? Nei-san!
Mana.Nei-san’s a virgin. For now.
i’ll be in your guidance!
Reika tells me.
No.if you don’t like it it’s fine. There’s no need
Reika.
No.I’m not displeased by it
She answered with her face turned red.
Without this opportunity.I think I’ll stay virgin forever. If I’m going to experience it, then I would like to do it with my Lrod
O-Okay
Ah.then, I’ll do my best
Uhm.I don’t think that you can be satisfied with my body but.
Reika self depreciates herself again, so Mana.
Geez, Reika-oneechan! If you can’t get him satisfied with one time then do it as many times as he wants! Quantity over Quality!
.Err
Sorry, I’ve done Mana a lot of times since she lost her virginity.
Mana’s done it 10 times for Onii-chan’s sake.if your technique can’t do then compensate with numbers! If not, you can’t win against Katsuko-oneechan and Nagisa-oneechan when it comes to their rich technique and experience!
Oh.is that so?
No.Reika.
Mana’s experience is special. Sorry, Mana. I made you experience such sex.
It’s true. I’ve done it more than ten times in one night. And I was a virgin back then!
Sorry.Yukino.
That happened.
Err.then I have to do it ten consecutive times too. Yoshi-kun?
Megu.you want to do it? No.I don’t think that it’s good to do it with only me Nei-oneechan, how many times have you done it with Onii-chan.the best record?
Mana asks Nei-san.
That’s a secret!
The virgin Nei-san smiles.
Sister Edie looks up at Katsuko-nee.
What’s up.oh you want another?
Sister Edie doesn’t mind our Japanese conversation.she just continue to eat and drink.
She’s completely used to being withus. If she was a dog, she would be swinging her tail on full power.
This girl also is also no good unless we take care of her
Nei-san said.
Well.if it’s combat training, Margo and I will take care of her. Reika-chan, you’re included as well!
Kyouko-san tells Reika.
Yes, I’ll be in your guidance.
You’ll be taking care of her on daily life
Minaho-nesan tells me.
Edie is the same age as you and Megumi.so she’ll be transferred to our school
.What?
Seriously?
Take care of her. Class chairman!
Minaho-neesan smiles at me
Oh right. Megu and I are both classroom chairperson
Magumagumagu!
This warrior beauty born from an assassination cult.
The petite girl with blonde hair and blue eyes continue to eat in satisfaction.
Chapter 344
Chapter 344. Tiger soul
Oh, Super model development project?sounds interesting
Kyouko-san said as Mana talked about it.
You need to manage all your meals and exercise, right? If you put too much muscle your body’s growth will be hindered. However, the stimulation by moderate exercise promotes growth hormone secretion. The goal is only to have a body of a super model so I think that novel training programs would do? A college professor I know has a lot of knowledge about that so ask them for help Kyouko-san seems to have participated in the plan.
I’m short but, can I grow taller?
How old is Mana-chan right now? Fourteen years old Oh, you still have a lot of time. You have a good foundation so I think you’re going to be quite the beauty thank you very much
Mana’s happy from Kyouko-san’s praise.
The meal program would be me and the exercise program would be Margo-san
Katsuko-nee tells Kyouko-san
The mental level backups are you, Nei, and Megumi. I’ll be doing psychological checks however
Minaho-neesan tells me.
When becoming a supermodel, you need something that would make an appeal at the moment they see you but.I think you’ll be fine? You’re still 14 but you got a good twist
A good twist?
A person who solves problems straight away are not interesting. People are bent by the burdens they take on their own lives. It’s better to have a bit of darkness
That’s why.Onii-chan, do it a lot with Mana. Everyday!
Eh.why?
Because Mana believes in Onii-chan’s love.Mana can do whatever it is. I’ll be fine even if I get hungry. I’ll do my best in exercise too. If Onii-chan embraces Mana every day.
Mana’s only affirmation of love is sex.
And I’m the one who implanted that thought on her. Therefore.I must take responsibility for this. I hug the body of Mana who crawled to me and pat her head.
I’ll be with you. I’ll cheer as much as you want. Do your best.Mana
Thanks! Onii-chan! Do your best on studying too. In addition to English, you should be able to speak French and Italian well. If you want to become a supermodel that is.
Minaho-neesan said.
Yes.I’ll do my best!
Looking at Mana who spoke that, Yukino.
Are you an idiot? There’s no way a brat like you could become a super model! Maika, you’re being deceived by those people!
Minaho-neesan laughs.
What about you Yukino-san, what do you plan after this? I’ve told you last night.I’ll be taking the baby but I don’t care about you afterwards. You should think of how to live alone as a woman.
Shirasaka house.will no longer come to help Yukino.
Her father remains abducted.the maternal relatives have also given up on Yukino.
Maika and I don’t need your help!
Mana-san’s already in our family! We’ll be taking care of her
That’s right! Yukino-san is an enemy!
Maika, you need to stop! .You’re the one who need to stop being so spoiled
Mana flatly tells Yukino.
Megumi.you’re happy that you take away Maika from me?
You really don’t get it. Mana’s not yours She’s mine! She’s my little sister! It’s natural for her to listen to me!
Yukino has been a princess in Shirasaka house.
She has bullied Megu a lot. But now.
This girl’s interesting. It’s my first time seeing a hostage be this arrogant. She also has a strong appetite to keep munching food
Kyouko-san laughs with interest.
She has to eat for the child in her stomach too after all.
Minaho-neesan says sarcastically
.Kuu
Yukino cries again
Ranting, crying, screaming.this triple triangle is an endless waltz This personality probably won’t get cured. Then.the phone room rings.
Yes.hello?
Nagisa who’s nearby answered the phone.
For you.it’s Misuzu
.Misuzu?
Looking at the clock.the time’s already past 9:30 It’s two hours later than the usual morning call.
Thanks. Nagisa
I receive the handset from Nagisa.
Hello.what’s wrong? Morning pee?
Is Misuzu holding back?
Her bladder didn’t burst, did it?
Good morning. Danna-sama.I’m already done peeing. I won’t do something that would bother Danna-sama at this kind of time
You did it properly? Yes. Uhm.I’m sorry for peeing on my own No, I’m fine as long as Misuzu’s healthy. I’m a bit worried after all. Misuzu’s worried ass well.I’m relieved to hear Danna-sama being energetic I’m fine. What about there?
Ruriko who’s father suddenly passed away.
The wake would be today and tomorrow will be the funeral service
.I see.
Jii-chan intends to finish his son’s funeral in a hurry. While the public eyes are focused on Shirasaka house’s scandal.
Ruriko’s behaving bravely. Yoshiko-san and I are here with her.Seki-san and Michi are also with us
Yeah, I’ll go there later. It might be at night but.I also want to go to Ruriko’s father’s funeral Yes, I’ll be waiting. I tried calling Danna-sama’s phone several times but I can’t connect
I see.
I haven’t answered the calls on my phone. So Misuzu called me through the hotel.
Yeah.Err, where’s my phone? I think someone’s taken it but I haven’t got it back yet. I’ll call you when I have it
Just in case, I’ll tell you my phone number for the time being. Right.Nagisa, you got any paper to write on?
Megu hands over a pen and paper.
Here, Yoshi-kun
As expected.she’s really tactful.
I wrote Misuzu’s phoen number.and Ruriko’s father’s funeral location.
I’ll contact you later.
Yes, I’ll be waiting
The call ended.
.Where’s Aoyama Funeral?
I asked, Katsuko-nee.
Of course it’s in Aoyama. It’s the biggest funeral venue in Japan
As expected of Kouzuki house.
I want to go to Ruriko-san’s father’s funeral
Megu tells me.
Ah, Mana’s coming too!
We can’t go.it’s a place where nobles gather
Katsuko-nee said sadly
.There’s the possibility of people that knows Kurumori would come.
Kouzuki Shigeaki-san wasn’t our guest. Kouzuki-sama has never brought his sons to the mansion. But, if we show ourselves in the funeral, some of them might misunderstand
Minaho-neesan, Katsuko-nee, Nagisa.better shouldn’t show themselves there.
Margo.take the children there later
Sure, Minaho. We can do it at night? Yes. Because it’s a wake. It’ll only be a nuisance if you go too early I’ll go too!
Nei-san said.
We can just go in our uniforms, right?
Megu tells me.
Ah, what about me?
Mana shows a troubled face.
If I wear uniform.they’ll find out that I’m Shirasaka Maika
Yeah. Girls from Mana’s school might come.
Mana-san will have to buy a mourning dress on the way
Minaho-neesan said.
Well then.it’s about time we go back to ourdear home!
Kyouko-san said energetically
I still have to get Sousuke
Yukino’s listening to that word.
When we called Kudou-papa through the extension just as he told us.it wasn’t Norma-kun but Tony-san who came immediately
.What’s this?
Tony-san brought a number of black cloaks and tiger masks.
Oh, sorry, but; Please disguise with this. We have to break through the police.
No, I understand that we have to disguise so we can’t be identified, but.
Why tiger masks?
It’s our boss’ hobby!
This black cloack?
So you won’t knowwho’s the real one!?
.I don’t get it
All of it.
Why am I the only one with a black tiger mask!
For some reason, the mask handed to Yukino is a black tiger.
Ah, the true identity of the black tiger isRollerball, Mark Rocco According to Mr. Takahashi, he’s living in Canary Islands, Spain right now!
I don’t get what Tony-san is talking about.
Anyway, everyone.please wear the mask and cloaks!
I don’t get it but.
I’ll do as told for now
Wow, everyone’s having the same face!
Mao-chan looks amused but.Mao-chan is also wearing a tiger mask.
Masks for infants are very common Sister Edie. She’s so excited wearing a mask that she started shadow boxing Margo-san talks in English to calm down Edie.
Err, boss is in the police zone right now.nobody open their mouth. Also, please don’t leave any fingerprints. Please be careful about your hair. Those guys will be secretly taking samples from you.
What’s with the police?
Well then, I’ll show the way.please follow me
Tony-san goes ahead holding a triangular flag.
The flag saysTora no ana line.
Going the elevator hall, we the black cloak group in tiger masks walk in line.
Following Tony-san’s flag.Kyouko-san, Minaho-neesan, Margo-san, Katsuko-nee, Nagisa, Mao-chan, Nei-san, sister Edie, Mana, Megu< Reika, and Yukino. The thirteen tiger masks walk. .It’s surreal. There’s only one black tiger.
Then, we’ll head down through two elevators. The destination is Basement 2. We’ll be leaving through the underground parking lot. Ah, the elevator is controlled over there so it’ll go non-stop. We won’t be stopped halfway
Tony-san explains.
Yeah. It would be helpful if we can get down without having to face anyone. Tony-san waves his hand on the camera in front of the elevator. The two elevators open their doors at the same time. Oh.Norma-san in the headquarters is controlling everything
Okay, please get in
We ride on the elevator.
We broke up into senior and younger groups. But, Mao-chan and sister Edie are on the senior group. In exchange, Nei-san and Reika are on our elevator. Reika’s our guard for the time being. Even if we didn’t press the elevator button, the Basement 2 button is already glowing.
Somehow, it feels exciting
Nei-san in her tiger mask says happily
No, I’m wearing tiger mask too.
This looks idiotic.this is truly stupid!
Yukino.you who wear the black tiger mask looks the most stupid
.Ding!
The door opens at the Basement 2.
Kudou-papa’s waiting ahead.
Great, everyone’s here. Let’s go!
The head changed from Tony-san to Kudou-papa.
