I dont have a self?

Un, right. You might be right

I affirm Yukino.

Thats rightyoull do anything as long as Yuzuki-sensei orders you? Youre not a humanyoure a robot. A rape robot!

Yukinoturned to the wall and lied down.

Yoshidais that so?

Michi asks me.

UnIll do anything Minaho-neesan tells me

Even rape or murder?

YeahI think so

When I answeredYukino

Look, its as I thought!You dont have anything!

MIchi stares at me.

Why?

WellI trust Minaho-neesan

I answered.

Minaho-neesan always think about us. If Minaho-neesan tells me to kill someone then that is needed forKuromoriEven if its rape, I think that will be the same

ButYuzuki-sensei can make a mistake in her judgement?

Michi said.

That would be fineif Minaho-neesan is about to make an important decision then shell definitely ask Margo-san and Katsuko-nees opinion. Both of them are much smarter than me and if those three gather then I dont think they will make a big mistake

I believe the intellect of the three.

AlsoNei-sans also smart. If theres a problem then we can just contact NagisaI dont need to make a judgement by myself

Yukino glanced at me.

Are you an idiot?Youre just being used by those people!

Yukino said

Then thats okay

Yukino got startled from my remark

ButIve already exceeded that level long ago. Im a member ofKuromoriand I really trust them. Were already sharing acommon destiny!

Me, Megu, Manahave no choice but to live withinKuromori

NoKatsuko-nee and Margo-san are able to demonstrate their ability because theyre withinKuromori

Even Nagisashe didnt break off fromKuromoricompletely

Above allMinaho-neesan is fused withKuromoriherself!

Thenif Yuzuki-sensei told you to die then youre going to kill yourself?!

Yukino asked something obvious again.

I willif its an order then theres no helping it!

Yukinos trembling.

Are you mad!?

Am I?

NoI dont think so

Yoshida!

Michi looks at me with a harsh face.

W-Whats wrongMichi?!

YoshidaDidnt you say that you will die for Misuzu-samas sake?! Was that a lie?!

Err

Yeah, I will. Its not pain to die for Misuzus sake

But, you just said that if Yuzuki-sama orders then you can die anytime!

That is

Misuzuno, Misuzus already myfamily Everyone inKuromoriis equally important to me. Thats why Ill protect them to death and Ill use my own life. Everyones the same!

Everyones the same?!

Michis face turns steeper

Yeahits not just Misuzu. I would die for Megu or Manas sakeIll bet my life for them. Even for Katsuko-nee or Nagisa!

Why cant Misuzu-sama be the number 1?!

Michi?

Misuzu-sama should be having preferential treatment compared to other womenis that wrong, Yoshida?!

Michi shouts.

Misuzu-sama is an angel! Theres none as innocent and cute as here! Yoshida should devote to Misuzu-sama than others and deeply, deeply worship her from the bottom of your heart!

For MichiMisuzus a noble existence.

But I.

No, everyones the same. Everyones equally important. Everyones the first for me!

Thats strange! You should be putting merits and demerits properly!

The priority order?

Ohif ever we were in a sinking shipwho would you take on the lifeboat first? I do have that priority level

Misuzu-sama is the first! Theres nothing as important as Misuzu-sama!

This petite girl worships Misuzu.

Who rides first doesnt matter

Thats right.

Ill definitely help everyone!

Everyone?

Michis surprised.

Thats right! Who cares if I dieif I was left behind the ship and drownI will save everyone else. Misuzu, Nei-san, Megu, Mana, Katsuko-nee, Nagisa, Margo-san, Minaho-neesan! I will be saving everyone!

Thats odd!

Michi shook her head.

If theres someone you cant helpwhat would you do?!

I dont think like that! I will save everyone even if I die!

Yoshida, youre absurd!

Its not absurd!

Michi and I shout at each other in Yukinos narrowconfinement room

Why? Theres no man who can love women that evenly!

Michi told me.

I

I doeveryones myfamily!

Thats right.

Family?!

I look at Michis eyes then tell her clearly.

Kuromoriis my family Thats why I love them all. I will protect them with my life. I will definitely make them happyeveryones myfamily!

Family

I finally found myfamily

The family I shouldprotect

Misuzu-samas afamily?!

Michis surprised

Thats right! Misuzus myfamily Thats why I love her. Ill definitely protect her. Ill make her happy!

Yoshidayoure insolent

Michi mutters

Fuson?

It means that youre excessively conceitedtheres no way for us commoner to befamilywith a bloodline like Misuzu-sama, do we?

Michi has been serving Misuzu since childhood.

Naturally, she knows the Kouzuki house well.

I dont know aboutKouzukihouse butMisuzus a normal girl. Shes a completely normal human. Thats why she becomes myfamily

What do you mean?

Even if youre not tied by bloodeven a complete strangerwhen you trust each other then everyone can become afamily I came toKuromoriand learned that!

Are you really believing such absurd thing? A family with thick relations of other people than the same blood?

YeahI do

BecauseI

I believe nothing in theblood tiesrather

Thats right.

Im a child abandoned by my parents Megus the same. Mana too The parents have aBlood tieso they will protect the children?Thats not true. We have to survive with our own power

Thereforewe gather.

That isKuromoriright now.

The other people are the same tooMargo-san cant stay with her own family. Nei-san has her family killed. Katsuko-nee and Nagisa were abducted, turned to a prostituteand cant return to their families. Minaho-neesans bothabandoned by her fatherwas kidnapped from her motherher sister was killed. Everyone lost their true family tied by blood. Thereforewere makingKuromoriour ownfamily

Misuzu-samas different! Misuzu-samas family is alive! Its not just her grandfather, Kouzuki-sama her father and mother are alive as wellMisuzu-sama doesnt have any complains about her family!

Wellthat might be the case but!

I have a conviction.

Our souls call each other. We have a bond that connects us. Thats what I feel

Ohso thats how it is.

The determination hardens inside me.

Thereforetonight, I will meet Kouzuki-san and ask himPlease give me Misuzu!

Michis stunned.

Are you intending to marry Misuzu-sama?! Thats impossible! Commoners being tied up with Kouzuki family!

Legal marriage might not be possible but that doesnt matter. I want to be with Misuzu for the rest of my life. Thats all

That makes Misuzu-sama pitiful!

Michi?

Unable to wear a bridal gowneven though shes born as a womanthats!

Reallythis warrior like girl

Shes a woman inside her head.

A fifteen year old normal girl.

Very ordinary

Butits much better than political marriage, isnt it?

Howeverthe role of a woman born in famous houses is to marry to strengthen relationship between houses

Michi grasped her hand tightlyand said.

Who cares about that fate!

I

Shes already mywoman I wont hand her to anyone!

Yoshida?

Michi looks up at me in surprise.

Excuse mecould you take that boring conversation somewhere I cant hear?

Yukino whos lying down on the floor told me with an amazed expression.

You decide what you resolve but I have nothing to do with it.1 To be honestits nuisance to hear the absurd reason of an insane criminal!

Un, right.

From Yukinos perspectiveIm only a madman.

I know that too.

But.

I have no choice but to go this way.

To live as a member ofKuromori

Butyoure really something to make such incomprehensible conversations every time

Yukino told me.

Shouldnt you just say Shut up idiot, I said I want to do it so shut up!shouldnt you?

I

I want to talk properly. I want to understand through a dialog. Id like us to understand each other

What?

Yukino asks me with a blank face.

Right nowits with Michi. I want to know what kind of girl she is and what is she thinking

Shouldnt you make her realize what you are thinking first/

Well of courseI tell Michi what I think butI dont want her to agree with meits not to make her understand either. Rather than thatI want to know Michis heart by talking

Ohyou want topeekinto the heart of the woman youre talking with? Youre completely a vulgar man

Yukino snorts her nose

Wellyou cant understand unless you see through the heart, can you?

Understand?

Michi mutters.

I want to understand Michi

Me?

Yukino laughs.

Cant you just know that by just lookingthis girl is just an idiot escort girl who loves the lady from Kouzuki-house? You dont get that?

Nothats not it

I said.

You shouldnt judge people from their surfaceYou see, Michi is

I look at Michi.

Michi looks at me.

A lovely girla fifteen year old girl who exerts herself to the hardest

Yukino laughs.

Whats that! What? Youre intending to seduce this child now?Youre loose!

Michi

Dont laugh

She strikes the electric baton in front of Yukinos eyes!

A spark shines for a moment1

Hiii!

Yukinos face cramped.

My father has taught meNo matter whatdont laugh at a person who does with utmost effort

Then, she looks at me.

I dont know how Yoshida thinks. To be honest, I can only imagine it being reckless and absurdbut, I know that Yoshida is diligent

Michi?

ThereforeI put the insolent remark about Misuzu-sama deep in my chest. AnywayYoshida, serve Misuzu-sama from now on. Its certain that Misuzu-sama likes Yoshida If Yoshida wont betray Misuzu-samathen I will forgive his existence. I will also look over his fornication with the otherwomen

I

I will never betray Misuzu. I swear

I swore to Michi.

Then, Yoshidaplease tell me one thing

Michi asks me with a serious face

She shows the electric baton to Yukino

What does Yoshida think with this woman?

Yukino?

This woman should be ourenemy Thats what I have heard

Y-YeahYukino is Shirasaka Sousukes daughtershes taking a rebellious attitude towards us all the time soI think that theres no mistake that shes anenemy

At leastshes not an ally.

Then whydoes Yoshida treat this woman as gentle as towards other women?

I?

am I kind to Yukino?

Dont be ridiculous! This man raped me! Dozens of times!! Theres no way this guy is gentle to me!

Yukino screams.

Thats rightit is as Yukino says.

A woman raped with hostility cant do something like this

Michi said.

I was able to watch the rape videos with father multiple times. That is to make me understand what kind of humiliation would I take if I was caught by the enemyits to understand how brutal humanenemies are Recalling it now, I still feel sick. I felt intense hatred towards men from watching those videos

Kudou papa.

Another biased education again.

Showing that thing to a middle school girl

Thats why Michi became a lesbian

I dont see any blue bruise in your skinnot even a single teeth was broken!

Michi told Yukino.

I was raped by this guy more than thirty times!

Yukino still argue with Michi.

Buthas your genitalia been assaulted enough that it tore?

Err

What kind of video did she watch?

Ratheryou understand that Yoshida wont be roughyou trust Yoshida as a sexual partner

Yukino trusts me?

Theres no way thats true. Theres no way I trust him!

Yukino looks down

Michi continues her speech.

Your interaction with Yoshida just earlierIve been watching that in the camera. You seem to be enjoying having sex with Yoshidadont you?

Theres no way Im enjoying it! I really hate being embraced by this guy! I hate it so much I cant endure it!

Yukino tries to deny it but

Thats a lie. Youre telling lies!

Michi sees through it.

Also, Yoshidawhy are you seriously serving this woman just like how you do with Misuzu-sama and other women?

Im serving Yukino?

Why are you working so hard so this woman feels pleasure? If you rape her then its fine if Yoshida seeks pleasure one-sidedly. Noif this woman doesnt suffer physically or mentally then shes not raped!

Thats true but

RatherYoshidas sex is mentally and physically relieving this womanI see it with my eyes

Err.

What is Yoshidas relationship with this woman? What is this womans existence to Yoshida?

Michi cross examines me intensely

But

The answer cant come up inside me.

I look at Yukino.

Yukinos looking at me.

What are we?

At firstit was just a rape victim and the rapist.

But now

It is as Michi saysYukino seems to be enjoying sex with me.

AndI certainly have sex with the same attitude I have towards my otherwomen

What is that?

For me, Yukino is

For Yukino, I

Nobut, Michi

I open up my mouth

ButI wont have sex with Yukino anymore

Yukino looks up at me startled.

BecauseYukino saidThis is the lastearlier

Thats whyI wont have sex with Yukino anymore

Yukino turned her face away.

Thats not possible!

Michi told me.

I cant think of this woman coming out of her relationship with Yoshida!

Yukino?

If this woman asks for a fornication in this situationwhat will Yoshida do?

If Yukino asks to have sex with me again?

At that timeI

Okay, thats enouugh!!!!

Katsuko-nees voice come from the speaker?!

Kudou-santhank you for posing the problem!

Katsuko-nees voice seems to be having fun.

OhMichi and I going to Yukinos place

was according to Minaho-neesansplan

To have Michi whos fretting about Misuzu pick on me

That will be enough for noweveryone needs some time to cool down their heads!

Katsuko-nee says.

Think about each others opinion. Then, think about the contents of what was said again. Thats for the three of you!

Eh?

Its not Yukino and I

Katsuko-nee is telling Michi to think again about the content of the conversation too?

People try to dodge their true intention through different wordsto fool themselves. Try to face your true self!2

Katsuko-nees voice is kind.

AnywayYukino-san, please take a meal. Both of you come back. Its about time we move on to the next step!

From here.

Whats going to happen?

Yukino whos lying downI told heranyway, just eatand left theconfinement room

Michi seems to be thinking about something.

Im also thinking of various things.

Coming back to themonitor roomMargo-san and Minaho-neesan are back

Katsuko-nee, Nei-san, Mana, Margo-san, Minaho-neesan, Michi, me

Excluding Megu whos in her club activity, were gathered.

Ive recorded what you said a while ago and sent it to Misuzu-san

SuddenlyKatsuko-nee said.

Ehabout what?

Wellthe one where you said youll go to Kouzuki-sama and sayPlease give me Misuzu, dear

Uwathat one?

Laterplease clearly tell Misuzu from your own mouth. Thats a proposal after all!

Minaho-neesan smiles.

But is that okay?Onii-chan telling Kouzuki-sama thatwont that be a bad for Yuzuki-san and Kouzuki-sama?

Mana asksed Minaho-neesan in worry.

What comes at that time will happen Im Yoshida-kun and Misuzu-sans ally

Saying that makes me happy.

Well, in the end, theres no choice but to do it!

ThenNei-san.

Yeah, I also like Misuzu-san too

Margo-san said.

Everyone, you dont get it at all!

Michis angry.

Kouzuki-sama isnt a mild gentleman! Apart from being Misuzu-samas loversayingPlease give me Misuzu!

This girls sense of values seems to be firmly fixed.

We know that even if you dont tell u

Minaho-neesan lightly replied to Michi.

ButKuromoriisnt such a mild organization as well

Minaho-neesans cold eyes look at Michi.

I-Im sorry for being rude

Michi bows her head.

Its finethis is all because of Yoshida-kun after all

My fault?

Normally, Kudou-san who has a shy personality doesnt easily open up her mind with others is now talking her feelings to us familiarly If it wasnt for Yoshida-kun, that wont happen

Ahsorry

When I apologizedMinaho-neesan giggled.

No you seeIm praising you

Eh?

Youre really good at opening up girls hearts.3

I dont get it myself.

However, I feel like Im offending Michi

Now thenshould we proced to the next stage?

Minaho-neesan looks at Katsuko-nee.

YesOjou-sama!

Katsuko-nee operates then a video appears on the monitor.

That is.

This is Endou-kun twenty minutes ago!

Endou in the screenand the two seniors in baseball club

Theyre beating him up!

Heybastard, doing something like this!

Endou crouching on the ground is suffering.

Are you going to tell the school, the police, the Baseball league?

The member named Sugiyamasaid while laughing.

Oh, its not that we care if the baseball club pulls us out

Koizumi says while kicking Endous abdomen

Were not regulars even after two yearswe cant participate from the start!

Thats whyif you want to inform them then you can do as much as you want!

Sugiyamas fist drives to Endous jaw again!

1. Actually, you will

2. PERSONA!!!

3. And legs
