AnywayMegumi-chan and Mana-chan too, both of you worry about Yukino-san too much

Katsuko-nee said.

Thats rightYo-chan treats Megu-chan and Mana-chan much betterand I think he loves you two!

Nei-san tells the two.

I know that but

Megu answers.

Butwhen I watch Yoshi-kun and Yukinos sexit really feels painful

I

Got itI wont have sex with Yukino anymore then

Yoshi-kun

Megu looks at me.

Eh, are you sure about that, Yo-chan?

EhNei-san?!

What do you think, Katsun?

Nei-san turned to Katsuko-nee

Katsuko-nee is

II dont think you should cut it off with her like that

UnI think so too

Margo-san joins in the conversation.

We have hypothesized that Yukino-san is Yoshida-kunssafe blanketbut the situation might be a bit different

Megu looks at Margo-san

What do you mean?

Margo-san laughs

I think Yoshida-kuns feelings he has for Yukino-san is much more complicated. Even at this stagehe doesnt forsake Yukino-san. Even when having sex with Yukino-san, he doesnt take the pleasure one-sidedly like a rapist. Rather, hes working hard to serve Yukino-san. He only makes his own pleasure a secondary

That might be the case

Megu looks at me

I

Wellthat said, I dont want Yoshida-kun to become a man who grabs women calmly to satisfy his own needs only

That isI think so too

Then, Megumi-chanyou do understand that its not a good idea to make Yoshida-kun and Yukino-san separate immediately

Err

I dont get it

PerhapsYoshida-kun has some trauma when having sex with a girlits a complex

Complex

Yoshida-kun doesnt ask to have sex with you, right? Or ratherhe wont. Thats one of his complexes

I

Furthermorewhen Yoshida-kuns having sex, he always concentrate with the girl hes doing it with? Thats amazing. He always gives priority to the pleasure of the other than his own

Yeshes like that

Katsuko-nee declares.

That is for nowI think Yoshida-kunswomenis yielding good results. Girls, you feel an amazingsense of securitywhen you have sex with Yoshida-kun, dont you?

That isyes

Mana also feels very warm

Megu and Mana answered while blushing.

That is because Yoshida-kun always does his best to not betray your expectationsand he never refuses does he?

Never refuses

When you girls feel uneasy and asked Yoshida-kun to embrace youNo matter how tired Yoshida-kun is, hell desperately embrace you!

Megu and Mana look at each other

YesI think so

UnOnii-chans always doing his hardest

Margo-san speaks to the two.

Butif you continue doing that, Yoshida-kun mind and body would give up, dont you think?

That is

Margo-san looks at me.

Earlier, Yukino-sans rape in theEmergency broadcast roomMinaho didnt make that event as a part of revenge for the Shirasaka family

Its notrevenge?

Minaho thought that youd make up your mind through that event and abandon Yukino-san

So I would abandon Yukino

She created such a big event for that?

Thereforethis mornings stage, the event where Yoshida-kun compares Yukino-san to Megumi-chan and Mana-chan was repeated

The sex with Yukino in the AV room and the sex with Megu and Mana in the classroom.

Yoshida-kun right now is bearing everything alone right? But, theres a limit to everythingisnt that right?

Un

Yoshida-kun, you should realize your own limits. You cant save everyone with your own power

Margo-san

You should give priority on who you should save firstwho should you protect first

Ive been told this multiple times up until now.

Priority level

If youve got the composure in the situation then of courseyou can save all of the people you listed butif you go beyond the limit You cant save the people in your order, right?

I cant save everyone.

Even if youre Supermanyou cant save all of humanity. Understand that. But still, in order to save more peopleyou need to dare abandon the people in the lower priority

Prepare to abandon

The initial plan was to have you watch Yukino-san raped by Endou-kun. Therefore, Megumi-chan was in there too

ThenI would chose Megu and abandon Yukino

That was the decision supposed to be made.

What changed the plan was after observing your sex with Yukino-san in the AV room this morning

That early morning sex?

Where Yukino and I cursed at each other

That sex was a very strange one. You two should have a relationship of a rapist and the victimand yet you were having sex like close friends. Its different from loversits a very strange sex where you have established a relationship of trust although theres no love between each other

TrueYukino and I.

We have a strange trust on each other.

So Minaho noticed that its not good for Yoshida-kuns spirit to dispose of Yukino right ow

Yukinos supposed to be immediately disposed.

For Yoshida-kunYukino-san is still a meaningful existence. ThereforeMinaho-decided to take Yukino-san this way. For your sake!

For my sake

Thereforeformally, she made you chose whether youd go help Yukino-san or not. Of course, she knows that youd chose to rescue Yukinoto press down Megumi-chans opposition

It was all foreseen by Minaho-neesan

But stillshe wanted you to embrace the choiceof your own will Its not fate or the flow of situationyou chose it, dont you?

Yes

ThenMinaho and I will be allowing Yukino-san. Shes on the list ofwomenYoshida-kuns trying to protect

Yukinos not mywoman

Butfor me.

Shes always awomanthat exists in thelist of priorityin my mind.

Shes on the bottom part though.

But stillI

I always am considering Yukino.

Butfrom now on, think before you act. Your list is already a lot. Its reaching the limit now

Un

If you go beyond the limiteveryone might die. Make sure you always have the room to keep yourwomenwhere your hand can reach themokay?

Yes

Im dumb

I dont have any special abilities either

I should figure the range of what I can do or I would just trouble everyone.

Megumi-chan and Mana-chan tooits about time you stop asking from Yoshida-kun always. Think about Yoshida-kuns mind and body limit

Yes

Got it

The two nodded small

Ive been prioritizing my own feelings that Ive been asking too much from Yoshida-kun, I reflect on it

Mana tooIve been depending on Onii-chan too much

I

Noof course, you can rely on me anytime you feel lonely. Im here for that reason

ThanksOnii-chanbut

Unwe also want to become girls Yoshi-kun could rely on!

MeguMana

Ill try to learn how to endureand polish my femininity

Mana said.

Me tooIll do my best to become a good wife!

Megu swore to me.

With that saidYoshida-kun, your list for the time being is

Margo-san speaks.

Nei, Megumi-chan, Mana-chanNagisa-san, Katsuko-santhen, Misuzu-san and Michi-san, lastly and a bonus, Yukino-san, is that right?

Michis surprised.

Im included?

Margo-san smiles.

That is theprioritylist of the people Yoshida-kun treasures Yoshida-kun thinks of Kudou-san as his family long ago and he treasures you!

That isI understand but

Michi falters

Margo-santhats not enough

I said.

Oh, rightI forgot Minaho too. Minahos much older than Yoshida-kun and shes the guardian of the wholeKuromoriBut shes in Yoshida-kuns list. Minahos surely pleased !

I

Noits not just Minaho-neesanyoure in my list too, Margo-san!

Margo-sans surprised!

Me?

YesMargo-sans also my treasuredfamily Were relatives. I think of you as my sister!

Margo-san

ErrI

Nei-san speaks to the confused Margo-san

Maru-chanyou should just saythanksat that time!

T-ThanksYoshida-kun!

I make a list in my heart.

Minaho-neesanNagisaKatsuko-neeMargo-sanNei-sanMisuzuMeguManaMichithen, Yukino on the bottom.

That is my current family.

The people I should defend

I should concentrate on protecting these people

I should make a clear distinction to the other people

If not

I wont be able to protect anyone with my power.

I should know my own limit

After the mealMichi and I prepares to go outside.

Katsuko-nee and Nei-san switched and this time, Nei-sans going to eat.

Yoshida-kunbring this with you

Margo-san handed me three round go-like stones

Theres a switch on top of it.

Its like a childrensalert buzzer If you press the switch, itll make a tremendous loud alarm after 15 seconds!

Itll roar a sound after a time difference

The followers Cesario Viola brought were American style

American style?

It means they solve everything with guns1

I see

The enemys supposed to be armed with firearms

Even in Americaduring the first world war, there were a lot of people who returned home without even shooting a gun in the battlefield

Margo-san tells a story.

As expectedtheres quite a resolution needed to pull the trigger aiming at people. There wasnt a lot of people who can pull the trigger without hesitation

I see2

Thereforein the current US military, theyre being trained to reflexively shoot at something moving. They were trained to pull the trigger arbitrarily before they could check if it was a human

Does that mean?

Of coursethere are a lot of mistaken fires as a result. There are many cases of they mistakenly shot and killed an ally. But, thats the policy of the US army!

Margo-san looks at Michi.

Kudou-sanI think your father told you this butdont ever make a careless move in front of Cesario Violas minions. They shoot their guns by reflex. If you shoot your bloodlust straight aheadyou can just be shot

Yes

Michi answers.

Yoshida-kun toodont throw something towards the enemy. They would shoot at that moment!

Once you show a chancetheyll shoot.

If you show a will to attackthey wont hesitate.

This buzzer is used to curve their nature. Place it quietly on a place away from yourself in a way the enemy wont notice

Un

No matter how trained a human isthey will absolutely react to sudden events. That includes loud sounds and light You can create a chance there

I see

Got itI will take this

I put theBuzzersin my pocket

Thenwere going

When I say thatNei-san whos eating soumen

Take care! I will be feeding Yukiyuki properly so dont worry!

Yukiyuki?

Its already decided that girl is Yo-chans bitch! If shes a human they could be jealous of her right?

Ah, thats great! Mana will think of that too!

NoMana

Yukinos your real sister you know

Are you sure about that?!

Mana will be taking care of Yukiyuki tooso take care!

Is this okay?

Haa

Rightif you think of her as not human, then youd thinkwho cares!

Even Megu says that.

Ah, wait a moment!

Katsuko-nee runs holding a paper bag

Theres a navy blue suit inside the bag.

Whats this Katsuko-nee

That would be the clothes youre going to wear in Misuzus presentation today!

Katsuko-nee

Shes been resizing this while in the middle of this business.

Try wearing it for a bit

I try putting on the business suit.

Hmmthe length is just right. The sleeves are a bit jammed

Katsuko-nee marks it with a dress pin.

FollowingI put on the pants

I have to raise the hem for a bitafter that, theres no problem

Katsuko-neesan

Megu speaks to Katsuko-nee

Could you let me do it?

Katsuko-nee

Is that sookay, that helps. Please

She smiled and handed Megu the pants

Ah, Mana wants to help out too!

Mana said that but

Mana-chancan you sew?

ErrIve sewn during our home economics class

Manas in low spirits because of what Katsuko-nee said.

ManaI will be doing it this time so watch. Next time, Mana will help out

Megu gently speaks to Mana.

Un, got itMegu-oneechan!

Mana happily smiled.

Its really strange

Coming out of the school buildingMichi told me.

Theres already nobody around

Most of the students have already left the school.

There still some of them left but, the teachers will patrol and drive them out either way.

The teachers would be coming home too then finallythe school would be unpopulated.

Itll take a bit of time I guess.

Whats strange?

I asked Michi.

The group KuromoriEven though its a group of people without any blood relationship, theyre turning to a group united like afamily

Unwe are basically a group of people who lost their family so I think everyone thought that they want their ownfamily

When I answer

Michi sends me a glance

Yoshidayou dont get anything

Eh?!

Kuromoriis gathered around Yoshida. Although theyre people who originally thought aboutfamilyif it wasnt for Yoshida, they wont be gathered as a group in such a short time

Is that so?I just enteredKuromorirecently. Margo-san and Nei-san are already good terms with each other back then

ButShirasaka houses daughter, Mana-san naturally blends to the group as well

Its not Mana-san but ManaManas MichisLittle sisterafter all

Youre right

Michis cheeks blushed.

Before I knew itI was also caught in the wave offamily-fication

Were not forcing you. Michi, unlike us, you have both of your parents

Yoshida

Those who have their family should prioritize their own family

Thats what I think

Youre right

Michi mutters sadly

Yoshida

Michi suddenly called me.

What?

I will definitely protect Yoshida. Therefore, Yoshida, please think of surviving more than anything else

Michi

Yoshida is here thats why those people are united. Yoshida right now is a person who cant just die!

I cant die

Un

I wont die right now.

I have to live until I make everyone happy

Even if I die, I cant3

I have to live whatever happens

Yes

Going from the backyard of the school building towards the baseball club grounds.

On the sloping groundKudou Detective Officeis parked

In front of the van

Kudou papa doing radio exercise alone

Ohwhats wrong?

Kudou-papa smiled looking at Michi and me.

FatherIve brought lunch

Michi said then I hand over the paper bag Katsuko-nee gave.,

Hmwhats the menu?

Its soumen!

OhI wanted something cold and refreshing!

Kudou-papas pleased.

He put the plastic container in the paper bag in the ice.

I brought over the soumen for several people, omelet and salad

Michi brings a flask with cold barley tea.

Alsoa message to Kudou-san

When I say thatKudou-papa.

Get in the carwell talk inside

Err

Kudou papa covers his mouth with his hand and whispered to me.

Do you know lipreading? If its here, the enemy might know what youre talking about!

Oh.

Doing a radio exercise in a place where the public would notice

Its being watched by the enemy already.

Rather than thathes purposely making the enemys eyes concentrate here

Well, get in

Kudou-papaopened the slide door of the van.

Then.

Toni-san is sleeping like a log.

Hey, Tony, wake up! Its food! Food!

Tony-san gets up.

Fwaaaaaii, boss!

They were observing 24 hours in turn

Norma too, stop what youre doing and come here. Its food!

Please wait a moment

Norma-san is facing a laptop in the drivers seat.

Now thenwhats the message? Let me hear it first

Compared to yesterdayKudou-papa seems to be a bit blunt.

Wellhes been watching outside since last night

It cant be helped

ThenIll speak

I told him what Margo-san said.

Kuromorimembers will be escaping this school with three cars from the hidden garage for the staff at 2:15. Everyone will be on it. Nobody will remain in the school. The destination isNational theater The route heading there would be left to Kudou-sans judgement!

Kudou-papa looks at me.

A complete withdrawal?

Before I could annswerMichi speaks.

Kuromoriis prepared to resolve everything by the end of today!

In shortwell take Cesario Violas head today

Well, thats not a bad judgement. If you just shut yourself in here, the situation will only get worse!

Kudou-papa said.

Is that so?

When I asked

This is a good hideout butyou people have more people closed up in there than whats planned, right?

Trueit might be a bit too much

If you shut yourselves in there, youd be lacking in food and daily necessities and the stress would accumulate. It cant be helped that you aim for a short-term decisive battle!

That is a pros judgement.

Thenis Cesario Viola thinking the same thing?

Kouzuki old man made afinal battlegroundwith pleasureso you have to settle it only tonight at the hotelyou guys and Viola!

As expectedthats the case.

Boss!

Norma-san speaks up from the drivers seat.

Whats wrong?

Pattern Blue!

Her voice is tense.

Weve been glaring at each other last night, were getting quite frustratedtheyre the same it seems

Kudou-papa looks at me.

It seems you came at a bad time!

Does that mean?!

Enemy attack!

1. FREEDOM!

2. Yeah, you belong to those few

3. But people die if they are killed!
