Mao, dont make a fuss!

Nagisa talks to her young daughter.

Okaay, Mama!

Mao-chan runs towards Nagisa.

She clings to Nagisas foot.

Kuroko-chan, youll bother the people if you make a noise! Nihihi!

Mao-chan speaks to Yukino, pretending to be the elder sister.

I know! Lets do it later!

Un, lets play again later! Kuroko-chan!

What?

That makes it look like Mao-chans looking after Yukino.

No, thats true in a sense.

Yukinos life is targeted by Shirasaka head, she has to stay with us.

Butthe seniors ofKuromoriare basically cold towards Yukino

Yukino herself isnt good with Minaho-neesan, Katsuko-nee, and Nei-san.

On top of that, her real sister, Mana is the most cruel in responding towards Yukino

Megu and Yukino have a complex with each other so they dont speak to each other.

In that case, Yukino doesnt have anyone to talk with apart from me

Lookshe avoided the otherwomenand head straight towards me.

Do you like kids?

It cant be helped, Ill talk to her

I dont. Theyre troublesomebut, I thought I need to get used to them

Get used?

Yukino looks at me through the thick black edge glasses.

LookIll give birth to your child, dont I?

Yukino?

I already gave up. If Im abandoned by Shirasaka family, theres no place for me to return to. I dont have any other way to live but to stick with you, do I? Then it cant be helped. Ill give birth to your baby

Yukino owns a bottomless positive spirit.

Her resolution is good.

Knowing that she can no longer live her peaceful life asShirasaka YukinoShe chose to obey us.

Besideswhen Kenji attacked me

Yukino said.

When Kenji touched me, it didnt feel good at allhe only does things forcefully, it only hurtsits inevitably disgusting

Yukino speaks her discomfort.

Even my first time with you, it was disgusting at firstbut I understand it when Kenji attacked me. When its youyoure at least trying to make me feel good in your own way. Youre a rapist who violated me butyoure not all bad

I

I hate a man like you. You dont look coolyoure not even intelligentyoure not from a good family either. Theres no benefit going out with someone like you. I dont want the class to see me together with you

Right

No matter how many times Im reborn, Ill never come to love a man like you. You should understand at least that!

Yeah

Greatthen, Ill give birth to your child

Eh?

I dont like you but it cant be helped. I have no choice but to bear your child so Ill be sheltered by Yuzuki-sensei from now on

U-Un

Im already fine with it. I dont like you but I think I can love my own child. Ill raise it with love. When that happens, I would have no other pleasure to live but that!

Yukinoshes been spoiled and raised, shes selfish and her pride is so high.

Butshes not an idiot.

She looks at her own situationshe considers her path of living, without despairing.

Yukinos probably going to be satisfied raising my children for the rest of her life.

But.

My, you only need to give birth!

Minanho-neesan speaks to Yukino coldly.

I will be the one to raise the childYukino-san will be farewell after giving birth

Yukino glares at Minaho-neesan..

Just leave the baby and you will be leaving. Lets seeif youre a good girl until then, Ill give you a bit of bonus when you leave. But, if you stay as a bad child!

Minaho-neesans mouth smiles.

If you stay as a bad childmeansMinaho-neesan doesnt acknowledge Yukino at all.

Ill have you work on the slums on the southeast Asia I guess!

Shell be sold to the brothels with worst environment

Such life would be harsher than death

NoI dont want that!

Yukinos eyes are burning in anger.

Think about itI think that youre already pregnant but it takes ten months to give birth. Youve got a negative evaluation since the start. If you dont make effort to recover, the plan to sell you overseas wont changeget ready for it

I wont forgive you. Ill never forgive you

Yukino said.

My, what a coincidenceI wont forgive you too as well. You! I love looking at your face crying in frustrationYukino-san

Saying that, Minaho-neesan parted from Yukino.

Tears accumulate in Yukinos eyes.

Yukino

I

What?!

Yukino changes the subject of anger to me and she glares at me with teary eyes.

I like you

Eh?

Yukinos puzzled from what I say.

Yukinos a woman who doesnt lie after all

What?

Youre really a woman who doesnt lie at all!

W-What?

Yukinos puzzled.

Noyoure selfish, always looking down on me butyou only saying what you think from the bottom of your heart. When crying, angryyou only say what you truly think

Isnt that obvious?

Noyou see, other people lie quite a lot

Manawhen she was Maikas saying things she doesnt mean in order to improve her position.

Megu tried to deceive herself to accept the fate.

Thats what normal humans are.

They desperately lie to be thought as a good person by others, be included in groups with power.

Even if you lie to your own heartyoure actually trying to compromise

That is the sense of balance to gain peace of mind.

Its never condemnation.

But.

Shirasaka Yukinos different.

This womanwhen it was exposed to the world that her parent is a criminal, her rape was broadcastedshe has theegothat wont yield to reality.

Living frankly according to her heartshe has the conviction, not needing to match her own world to the situation of reality.

Even if she lose her house, position, honor, friends, even familyYukino will still haveYukinoleft in her.

Yukino believes in the woman ego namedShirasaka Yukino

Therefore, Yukinos never pessimistic. She wont despair.

She wont waver no matter what, shell only think how to survive possitively.

Yukino will always beYukinoin her heart.

Yukino is a woman that wont be beaten by loneliness

I respect you. How you are. To be honest, I think youre amazing

W-Whatwhat are you praising about, I dont get you at all.

Un., Yukino herself wont understand it.

She only thinks of it as normal.

BesidesI wont come to like you even if you praise me!

UnI know

For Yukino whos heart isYukinoYoshida has been excluded as alove interest

Thereforeno matter how much the situation changes, Yukino will never love me.

Even if she have sex with me and give birth to my childshell wont thinkIt cant be helped, Ill love youorIll make an effort to like you

YukinosYukinowont take a step forward

Therefore

Yukino wot have a place inKuromori

HereMinaho-neesan is the leader of the organization.

Everyone trusts Minaho-neesanits an organization that mutually cooperates with each other.

ButYukino.

Yukinos only a one woman team

Yukino will only live in a world where Yukinos the center and her own selfishness is the only thing allowed.

Just like Shirasaka house yesterday.

Yukinowhat would you do?

I asked unconsciously.

What?

Yukino shows a nonchalant face.

What will you do in the future?

Yukino laughed.

Youre not in a position you can worry about other people are you?

Well yeah.

Yuzuki sensei said those things butI understood that shes fairly a sweet person these past few days. Itll be fine. She wont sell me away

No

Im also watching Minaho-neesas cruel revenge against Shirasaka Sousuke

I dont think shell throw me out naked Ill still be 16 after ten months. I can start over if I want. Even without Shirasaka house, if I rely on Ichikawa-ojiisama, Ill manage somehow

Yukino doesnt know that old man Ichikawa has abandoned Mana.

After a year, I can enter high school againI can change my name. Ill abandon my nameShirasaka YUkino Then, Ill fall in love. This timeitll be true love

Yukios positive no matter what.

On the contraryit hurts my heart.

Heyhow long are you going to talk to that person

Megu sticks to me.

Thats rightyou can just leave that person alone!

Mana also brings her body to me.

Yoshi-kun has us okay

Megus words are heavy.

I cant live for myself like Yukino.

Im responsible for my women.

ThesewomenI must make them happy.

I wish we can know if youre already pregnantwhen that happens, Onii-chan dont need to have sex with Yukino-san anymore

Mana glares at her sister.

Whats with that?

Yukino opposes.

Oh, Yukino-sando you want to have sex with Onii-chan that much?

Mana clings to my chest and provokes Yukino even more.

I want to

Yukino answered calmly.

Because, that mans skill in sex is his only worth. Maika, arent you sticking to that guy because of that?!

Mana rages

Im not!

Manastop that

Megu holds back Mana

No matter how much you explain it, Yukino-san wont understand outbonds She wont understand Yoshi-kuns charm no matter what you say

I do know his charm you know

Yukino smiles.

You do?

Un. First, hes a man below average from top to toeeven he himself knows that much so hes trying to devote himself to me and you guys. You all feel pleased being spoiled by this guy, right?

Yukino

Its notI

Maika and you didnt have a man to spoil you, so you feel ecstatic, arent you? Well, isnt that great? This kind of man is just perfect for girls like you. Isnt that great? You found a man who loves you!

Yukino speaks with the most poisonous tongue against her sisters connected by blood.

You dont get it at all. Yoshi-kuns charm is

I dont know, I dont even want to know!

Yukino rejects it thoroughly.

The ones worth of my love are only good looking people with both standing and talent. This manis really only just sex!

This cant continue.

Yukino, Megu, and Manas conflict will only get worse.

Hey, its about time you end that talk soon

Nei-san enters in between

At first, I was listening because its an interesting opinion butwhats ahead is only just parallel lines

It cant be helpedtheres no way you can understand my feelings!

Yukino whos emotions have fired upexposes her hatred.

You seeKuroko-chan

What?

Youre Kishima Kuroko-chan right now!

Nei-san pierces Yukinos heart with sharp words!

Its been a long while since she stared at Yukino with her delinquent girl mode.

Y-Yes?

If you continueIll make you go around the imperial palace with a placard sayingIm Shirasaka Sousukes daughter

Yukino.

I-Ill shut upI just have to stay silent dont I?

As usual, shes weak to the pressure of the older ones like Nei-san.

Megu-chan and Mana-chan tooyou dont need to fight Kuroko-chan every single time

Thatswe just

Were not fighting with her

What do you think, Yo-chan?

Nei-san turned to me.

Megu and ManaI think they both hold too much negative emotions towards Yukino. Well, I can understand that its due to the various things that happened before but

Megus been bullied by Yukino since forever

Manashes her sister but shes hardly cares about.

Youre picking fault at Yukino at everything!

But, Yoshi-kun

ButOnii-chan!

The two doesnt agree.

Noyou pick on Yukino at everything more than you think. Try to ignore her for a bit. Yukinos aYukinoeither way

I said.

Yukinos aYukino?

Megu looks at me with a curious face.

Yukino wont step outside the thought other than herself so itsYukino Its impossible to accompany her. Yukinos outlook of the world wont change unless Yukinos own world is destroyed

Butisnt that just crazy?

Mana tells me.

Everything she says about Onii-chan is horrible. I wont forgive it

Mana

I embrace Mana.

You dont need to forgive herYou just have to stop picking a fight with Yukino every single time

But

What kind of man I amwhat is our relationship, its okay as long as we ourselves know, right? Theres no need to explain it to other people and ask them to understand

Onii-chan

No matter who we meetwhatever happens with us, and what are our relationship right nowthey wont understand no matter how much you explain it in words

Un

I love youthats all there is to it

Youre rightGot it

Mana agrees.

Megu toodo you feel uneasy if you dont pick on everything Yukino does?

A bit

What are you uneasy about?

Yukinos much more beautiful than me. I feel like shell steal Yoshi-kun away from me

Thats not true

I said clearly.

Yukino doesnt like me. No matter how many times shes reborn, she wont come to like medidnt she just say that earlier?

ButYoshi-kun likes Yukino, right?

Megu

Didnt I say it a while ago?

I

I certainly like Yukino butshes not as important as you

Eh?

Its priority levelif were on a sinking ship, Ill put Megu and Mana on the lifeboat first. Ill put Yukino as last

Hearing what I saidYukinos face turned gloomy.

ReallyYoshi-kun?

Yeahdid I ever lie to Megu?

Megu

Got itI wont bump with Yukino anymore. Ill ignore everything she says

Un, right. Well just leave out Yukino-san. Ignore her

Mana still doubts.

Well, its better than them fighting upfront.

Very well, I dont care. I feel much more refreshed when I dont talk to you!

She said grumbling.

Nowtheres 15 minutes before the opening. Lets enter the theater soon

Minaho-neesan call us out.

Okay~

Mao-chan speaks.

Megu-chana nd Mana-chan, could you reserve the seats for our number? We dont need to seat on one lump, instead of lining up in a row, we should seat on three rows

Margo-san said.

Got it. Mana, lets go

Un!

I look at Michi

We have Margo-san hereMichi, go with Megu and Mana

Certainly

Megu, Mana and Michi trio runs to the theater.

Yoshida-kun, its about the priority level earlier

Margo-san talks to me.

Megumi-chan and Mana-chan would be on the lifeboat first and Yukino would be the last. I do understand that but

Margo-san looks at Yukino with a smile.

Yukino shows awhatface and Margo-san averted her eyes.

Where would be Yoshida-kun himself be at that time?

Eh?

If you put Yukino-san on the lifeboatis Yoshida-kun himself on the lifeboat already or hes still in the sinking ship?

I

On the sinking ship

Margo-san laughs and speaks to Yukino.

Thats how it isYukino-san wont be abandoned by Yoshida-kun at least

Yukino looks at me with anAh?!surprised face.

In my caseIll get on the lifeboat at lastif theres a gap then Ill let Yukino-chan on board!

Nei-san said.

Ill never let her in the lifeboat. Ill be watching Yukino-sama sinking from the lifeboat. Oh well, Ill give her at least a floating wheel

Nagisa said.

Ill tie up Yukino-san on the bottom of the ship with a chain so Yukino-san cant run away, then Ill ride the lifeboat. I hate uncertain things

Katsuko-nee said.

What about Minaho

Margo-san asks, Minaho-neesan

If it was me, Ill push down Yukino-san down the sea even if the ship isnt sinking. Lets seeIll aim at the waters where the sharks lurk around

Their assumptions are already different.

Hmmm.

Everyones harsh towards Yukino.

Very well! If you tie me up with chains, Ill get out of it. Ill desperately swim if Im pushed on the sea. If sharks attack, then Ill go faster than them! Ill definitely live! Ill never be killed by you people!

I think this unchaste vigor is really amazing.

Before you think about that, you should take good care of Yoshida-kun

Margo-san said as she laugh.

Eh?What?!

Yukino doesnt seem to get it.

If you dont understand then its fine. That is what Yukino-san makes herself!

Margo-san said.

Then, she pat my shoulder.

Yoshida-kuns having a big problem too

I

Should we go now?

Minaho-neesan speaks and everybody leaves the lobby sofa.

This way, Onii-chan!

Mana waves her hand.

Around ten columns from the front of the first floor seatMana and others reserve the seats.

Huh

Even though theres considerable number of audience coming in, the audience seats arent filled that much.

I look around

Theres not much people who would watchsymposiumslike today from start to end

Minaho-neesan explained.

Right, theres a lot of people who will only come to watch the dance of theperformerthey know

Is that so?

Ratherits more important to greet and interact with people from various famous families in the lobby

Katsuko-nee said.,

I seevarious famous people are coming.

After coming to watch their daughter or granddaughters presentationand interact with various people while theyre at it.

As expected, itll become overcrowded when its the dance of the headmaster

Nagisa said.

Konpeki Nadeshiko-sensei is a candidate for human national treasure

I dont know why traditional Japanese dance is a national treasure but

Im sure its amazing.

Thats how it iswell stay in the theater

Minaho-neesan said.

Thanks to Nagisa, we were able to greet the old guests of the mansionwhats left is fore them to spread out words

Unwe dont need to move any further than this

Margo-san analyzes.

We dont need to talk to the other side we dont have business withits better not to talk to the individuals but just take a seat, its easier to have them point at and sayThats Kuromori Minaho

Minaho-neesan seems to have been preparing to become a spectacle.

Either wayfor the top of theKuromoriorganization to appear, its showing that were completely separate from Shirasaka Sousuke

Theres no way people related to Shirasaka Sousuke show up in such a public place.

Besides, unless we have Kouzuki-samas permission, we cant stay in this theatereveryone knows that

Unsecuritys done by Kouzuki security service.

If were related to Shirasaka Sousukethen we wouldve been kicked out long time ago.

With that saidwe will be making a show in here, you should stay a bit away

Minaho-neesan said.

Minaho-neesan, Katsuko-nee, Nagisa and Mao-chan sits side by side.

Margo-san and Nei-san seats behind them, pretending to be aguardandattendant

Speaking of whicheven at the sofa lobby.

Minaho-neesan and others are sitting apart from usthe young classon purpose.

They only come close to us when theyve got business with us.

No waylets sit together

Minaho-neesan replies to Megu.

You cantif you sit together with us, they might misunderstand that youre a newwomanin the brothel you know?

Minaho-neesan calmly said.

Megu, lets sit here

A sit somewhat across the aisle

But, Yoshi-kun

At that timecheers rose from outside the theater.

What?

The entrance is making a noise.

KouzukiKakkahas arrived

Margo-san said.
