I should be on the defendants seat as well, shouldnt I?

Nagisa smiles atKakka

Yes, youre the first wrongdoer in this case

Kakkaanswers with a faint laugh.

Come Maolets go to Onii-chans side

Nagisa tells her three years old daughter.

Okaaay~! Hey, Mama?

What?

Whatsdefendant?

Its a person investigated whether he did something bad or not

Eh? Mao and Mama are going to be examined whether they did something bad?

Thats right

Nagisa smiles calmly

Well fineMao didnt do anything wrong!

Thats right. Thats why theres no problem even if were investigated right?!

Thenthe two come to my side.

Fujimiya-san and Seki-san in front

Behind them is Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san

Theyre looking at us with an anxious face.

Everyones afraid that were going to be disposed byKakka

Everyone believes thatKakkais the absolute ruler of this place.1

Itll be finedont worry

In such a tense airNagisa speaks to Misuzu and me.

Nagisas smile gives Misuzu courage.

Grandfather, I cant consent being subjected to such a trial

She tells her grandfather in the judge seat.

I have done nothing to receive such accusation!

Kakkacounterattacks

Even though I have afiancedecided for youisnt it a sin to exchange affection to another man?

Yes. Of course

Misuzu answers immediately.

W-What part of me are you dissatisfied?! Misuzu-sama?!

Unable to endure the tense air any longer thefianceShiba Takahiko speaks up.

That part

What?

Youre calling me whos four years younger than you with a-Sama

Howeverthat is!

Shiba Takahiko tries to speak up buthe looks atKakkasface in surprise

Im very sorry. UhmI spoke withoutKakkaspermission

Four years older than Misuzuthen hes college student?

Even though hes taller and has a better physique thanKakkaShiba Takahikos afraid of him.

Kakkathen

I dont mindlets have the prosecutor question the defendant first. Be sure to throw out all everything thats inside your heart

T-Thats

Takahiko-kun, youre going to be Misuzus husband arent you? If youre no match against your wifeyou wont be a leader of the Kouzuki group!

Kakkafuels Shiba Takahiko

His mouth is smiling buthis eyes are serious.

Y-YesIll do my best. Ill endeavor myself seriously!

Shiba Takahiko is underKakkascontrol

Let me tell you beforehand

Misuzu speaks to Shiba Takahiko

Im very sorry for this selfish arrangement butI would like to cancel grandfathers decision about my engagement with Takahiko-san. Im sorry!

Misuzu bows her head to Shiba Takahiko.

For the time beingIll bow together.

Fortunatelyits still a private talkits not publicly announced that Takahiko-san is myfiance I think that it wont hurt Takahiko-sans career

Misuzu said clearly

Is this the fault of that man over there?

Shiba Takahiko opens up his mouth.

Thats right. Im going out with this person

Isnt he just a brat?

Hes only a year younger than me. A first year high school boy

Uhmfrom which house are you? Which department in Kouzuki group is your father?

Shiba Takahiko thinks that Im someone from a noble family somewhere.

Inside Kouzuki group as well.

This person isnt a member of any household

What do you mean?

Err

Im just a commoner. Or rather, I may be poorer than a commoner

YeahMy father disappeared

Commoner?Why is that person?

It seems that Misuzu got annoyed at what Shiba Takahiko said.

Hes the man Im in love withit doesnt matter to you!

It does! I am yourfiance!

Shiba Takahikos confused.

AlsoIm the officialfiancechosen byKakka!

I just annulled thatengagementjust now!

Youre born from Kouzuki house so your duty is to be married to a certainfiancedecided byKakka!?

Please dont decide my life without permission!

Misuzu said clearly.

Shiba Takahiko trembles from Misuzus thorough rejection

But still, he tries to bring it on his own pace.

M-Misuzu-samaNo, Misuzu-sanUhm, is it okay to call you Misuzu-san?

Hes trying to build a friendly relationship?

But

Takahiko-kunshouldnt you just call her Misuzu without any suffix?

Kakkaspeaks with a sour expression.

Yes, C-Certainly. Kakka

TremblingShiba Takahiko looks at Misuzu.

Im very sorry but, according toKakkasrequestI will be calling you with only your first nameMi

At the moment Shiba Takahiko tries to speak

I refuseI dont want to be called by you as such!

Misuzu clearly rejects

No but, thatKakkaasked me to call you

Its wrong for grandfather to tell you how to call me

Shiba Takahiko tries to useKakkasauthority to stand above Misuzu.

Therefore, Misuzu deniesKakkasauthority

Errthat

Shiba Takahiko looks at Misuzu andKakkaalternately.

Looking troubled

I-Ive made so much effort all this itme!

Ehwhat are you talking about?

Seki-san and Fujimiya-santhe spectators of the room are all stunned.

One year agowhenKakkahas nominated me as your fianceIve always been working so hard!

Hmmm

What is he talking about?

Just what on earth is the effort youre talking about?

Misuzu asked interestingly.

T-That iseverything and anything

Shiba Takahiko speaks desperately.

I-Im going to become your husbandthe center of the Kouzuki group. Ive studied about business administration desperately more than ever. Ill graduate at the top of the university. DefinitelyI promise. Ill make an effort. Next year, Ill study in US abroad, taking MBA qualification, Ill make connections with the economic people of each country. Ill do that. Thats my plan!

Thats got nothing to do with me at all

Misuzu answered coldly.

Takahiko-sanyour father is a director in the Kouzuk group. Even if you havent talked to meyou should be able to join Kouzuki group with your own will and with Takahiko-sans power, you can be on the top of the management departmenttheres no meaning in marrying me, is there?

Shiba Takahiko

YesIm confident reaching a director with my own effort

Howevermore than being a directoryoure aiming to be at the top of the group, I need to be married with you

This man

Hes not feeling any love towards Misuzu?

Since the start, he admitted that thisengagementis just apolitical marriage

By becoming a member of Kouzuki familymy success in life would become 120% certain. On the contraryIf I cant marry you, my probability in winning in life would be halved

Takahiko-san, what is victory in life?

Misuzu asks.

Isnt that obvious?

Is it becoming the president of the Kouzuki groupbecoming the chairman?

It is to become a wonderful economy man likeKakka!

Shiba Takahiko declares.

I want to be a powerful economic man likeKakkawho can move Japanno, the whole worlds economy!

Misuzu

Youre free to dream whatever you want. But, I will never be happy in that dream of yours

ThereforeIm doing all my best!

Shiba Takahiko hits the desk!

Even I dont think that I can accept you easily. Either way, I!

He glares at me for a moment.

Theres no way a man like me can be liked by a lady like you! Therefore I have no choice but to make an effort. No, I have nothing but confidence in my own effort. Ever since I was born, I have always lived to do effort, effort, effort, effort. Im using all of my effort to become a man you will accept!

Err

Effort, what kind of effort?

Misuzu asks.

UnI also want to know.

For exampleIyou have enjoyed dinner with me at the French Restaurant last night!

Ehthe two of them?

Wellyour family and mine were having dinner

Misuzu corrects.

What?Its a family dinner?

At that timeyou looked at me with disappointed eyes when I left the vegetables and carrot on the plate

I didnt make eyes like that

No, you did! You did that! You were looking at me with eyes like Im such a pitiful person!

Isnt that just paranoia?

ThereforeI have doctors and psychotherapist help me create a program to help me eat carrots now!

What?

Itll be a two year long tem programIll be able to eat carrots! Ill definitely will! You wont look at me with those kind of eyes again! Neverafter two years

No

I feel like

Misuzus looking at Shiba Takahiko with eyes worse than that time

A-AlsoIm studying about you seriously

Study about me?

Yes, I love studying after all!

I dont get it

In shortIve been looking information about what you likewhats your food preference, music preference, everything about you!

Shiba Takahiko takes out a thick report.

He then puts it on the desk.

Like thisI always carry it around and take a look when I have time! I memorize all of it! For examplewhat I learned todayYou prefer Minami-AoyamasLradige headquarterschocolate!

Shiba Takahiko said with a smile.

Yesthats certainly right but

Misuzu answers

Look, Im right. Thats written on the top of the page 32 of the report. The investigation agency I asked is excellent! I have investigated a lot about youI really know anything!

Shiba Takahiko gives a victorious smile

ThenTakahiko-san, have you eatenLradigeschocolate?

Misuzu asks

No! Mother told me that Ill get tooth decay when I eat sweets!

Hmm

It was a wonderful smile but

Even though you havent eaten my favoriteLradigechocolate and yetyou say that you know everything I like

Shiba Takahiko points at the report with his fingertips

Wellyour favorite food are listen in here. If I memorize this, isnt it equal to knowing your taste? Look, Im making so much effort for you!

Now thenwhat should I do?

Takahiko-sanyou do know that I like Mendelssohns piano, dont you?

Of course. If I recall, its an information listed on the upper right column of page 24 in this report

ButI never want to go to a piano concert with you

Shiba Takahiko

No problem. I dont have time to go for a concertIm not interested in piano in the first place

Whats going on?

ThenShiba Takahiko looks at me.

You there!

What?!

Thats rightyou now understand from our talk just now. I make so much effort to understand this person. By the waywhat do you know? Theres no way I would lose when it comes to knowledge about her! Thats how much effort Ive done!

I

Rightthinking about it.

I dont know anything about Misuzu.

What does she like.

Sorry, Misuzu

I apologized to Misuzu.

I dont know anything about Misuzu

Shiba Takahiko snorts.

Look, hows that! Im making an effort!

RightI

Have I ever made effort for Misuzu?

Misuzu. I

Misuzus warm hand holds my hand tightly.

Then she smiled.

Danna-samas always doing his best for me

Misuzu

Please have some confidencebesides

Eh?

Isnt it obvious that we dont know each other that well?

Misuzu smiles

We just have metthats why we can just take our time to understand each other

Un

Next time, lets go eat Lradigeschocolate. Lets go to a piano concert too. Danna-sama, do you know the composer Mendelssohn?

Only the name

I feel like Ive learned about it during music classes

I dont know what kind of songs they make however.

Then, lets go listen together. UfufuIm looking forward to it

Misuzu said.

I will teach Danna-sama what I likedelicious food, amazing things, beautiful things Lets watch, listen, eatwith the two of us. Right, Danna-sama

Yeahyoure right

Please teach me about Danna-samas favorites too

I dont have those kind of things

Then, please teach me when you have one. When you thinkThis songs goodorI like this taste, Then Ill understand Danna-samas preference

Hahaitll take a lot of time

Its better if it is. Well be together for always!

I see.

Theres no need to hurry.

Theres no need to memorize Misuzus favorites in hurry

We can just take our time and know little by little.

That way is fun for sure.

For Misuzu and for me

Theres a lot to look forward toDanna-sama!

Misuzu clings to me.

H-HeyM-Misuzu-sama! Get awayyou, get away from Misuzu-sama!

Shiba Takahiko says in panic butMisuzu clings further to me.

Or ratherhes back to calling herMisuzu-sama

Hell stay being Kouzuki houses vassal for the rest of her life.

Sorry, Takahiko-sanI cant accept you at all. I want to live with this person. I do love this person after all!

Shiba Takahiko

I-II made so much effort! I tried so hard1

That effort is just unbearably disgusting

Misuzu answers.

I hate human relationships where its nothing but effort

Howeverin the business worldyou build connection with the customers by effort!

What?

Like I saidif the customers hobby is fishing then Ill fishif its golf, then make him win by all means!

Please dont link men-women relationship with business!

Hearing Misuzus voiceShiba Takahiko looks atKakka

While Im embraced

Kakkasgrinning.

Hes enjoying Misuzu and Shiba Takahikos confrontation.

No, its no different! In our worldmarrying a woman is an important business!

Thats something I wont accept. I have someone I love from the bottom of my heart right now!

Shiba Takahikos enraged.

Isnt that obvious that man just wants to get into Misuzu-samas family! Hes just a bad guy who approached Misuzu-sama! Thats right! Thats obvious! Because hes a commoner!

Thefiancescreams loudly.

Isnt that just you? Shiba Takahiko-san?

Shiba Takahikos frozen.

Even your houseis just an ordinary house until your father became an executive of the Kouzuki group. If Im going to borrow your wordsyoure acommonerarent you?

Shiba Takahiko rejects the cold words.

The past is different from now! My fathers currently a director in the Kouzuki group! Besides, Im enrolled in a prestigious university, Im smart! Ive got the talent! Above all, I make effort! I make effort more than anyone! Im a special human!

Shiba Takahiko whos snapped off exposes his heart one after another.

A high spec human with high academic background is enduring this much! All of this is to marry you and become the top of the Kouzuki group! If youre not a daughter of Kouzuki house then Ill never do this badly! In the first placeno matter how you look at me, Im popular!

OhI dont get what hes saying anymore.

Youre right

Thats right! My fathers a directorI go to a top-rated university, my cars Porsche. A Cayenne Porsche. Its the fourth generation. Its on a different level! That alone makes women at college come near me! Everyone wants to take the passenger seat! They look forward to going to a fine restaurant Ill pay up. But, I never dated anyoneI had no special relationship! Do you know why?!

Theres no way we would.

If I go out with some strange womanmy future will be damaged! Ive been told by father and mother ever since I was a child! If I made a child by mistakethen I would have to marry such an idiot and talentless woman! Thats why I make an effort to shake them off!

Shiba Takahiko screams with his eyes bloodshot.

Yes, thats right! Im a virgin! But Im not a virgin because Im not goo with women! Im making an effort myself to protect my virginity! I chose my own destiny as a virgin and Im a proud virgin! Its a honor virgin! A virgin gentleman1 I made effort to be thorough on that!!!

Shiba Takahiko puffs his chest in pride appealing his virginity.

But

In the end, this man

Isnt interested in anyone but himself.

Therefore, he hasnt been in a proper relationship with people

Perhapsthat will be the same even in the future.

This virgin me is trying so hard and yet why are you not accepting me!

He glares at me with eyes of hatred.

Theres no way this no-value commoner high school by would win against me who made so much effort!

Misuzu answers.

Takahiko-santhis person has a charm nobody else has!

Shiba Takahiko shouts angrily!

Theres no way I would lose to a commoner! Say it, what on earth is he better than me?!

Misuzu

Sex

Shiba Takahiko froze

No, everyone in the room

Mama, whats sex?

Mao-chan asks Nagisa.

Its a very pleasant thing!

Eh? Is that so? Mao wants that!

When you grow bigger okay?

Nagisa pats Mao-chans head.

Did you hear itYoshiko?

Yes. It seems that person knows about sex2

Un

The people who doesnt know the meaning of sex in this room

The three year old Mao-chan, and Ruriko-sanYoshiko-san pair

AhSeki-san and Fujimiya-san have a bright red face.

The two of them are unexpectedly pure.

Misuzu kisses my cheek

Sex with this person is very wonderful. This person, as a manhe uses his mind and body to love me. I also serve him to the utmost as a woman. Whenever we have sexwere both nakedusing my own body to please this one makes me really happy. This persons living body makes me feel my body. When I embrace him nakedI feel Im glad to be born. Im glad that Im a woman

Nagisa

Yes, I also know that feeling

Misuzu and Nagisa look at each other.

It makes me feel easy when Im with him. This person never lies in front of me. Rather than thathe doesnt have that concept. ThereforeI can be naked. Not as a daughter of Kouzuki house or anythingbut as a woman

Misuzu looks at Ruriko-san.

Ive lived as a daughter of Kouzuki houseits always painful. I have to worry about the public eye anytime and anywhereI thought that I shouldnt disobey my grandfather and parents expectations. Even with friendsI cant be jealous nor I cant adore so I have to take a subtle distance. Always smilingI had to be a bright and cheerful girl. Outsideand even inside the house

Im the same

Ruriko-san mutters.

But, I have Yoshiko with meMisuzu-oneesama who doesnt have aretainer, I think that its very painful

Ruriko-san shows a gloomy faceYoshiko-san stays quiet

The me before shows a smiling face but my hearts always clouded. But, its different now!

Misuzu hugs me.

I finally found a man I can show my naked mind and body. Ill never let go of him! Even if I am going to disobey grandfatherI will remain with this man!

Thats what I know about Misuzu that you dont

Shiba Takahiko glares at me.

Theres no way! Theres no way my effort can be beaten by an ordinary man like yo!

I point at Misuzus back.

Misuzu has a mole in here

Danna-sama?!

Alsohere in her stomach

Shiba Takahikos frozen.

Theres no place in Misuzus body I dont know

UnIve seen Misuzus naked body again and again.

Her whole bodyall over.

No matter what kind of clothes she wearI can recall Misuzus naked body in detail.

Also, whenever Misuzu kissesshe brings her face close to my right side. She likes rubbing her nose against my cheek

I look straight at Shiba Takahiko.

Its not a long time since Ive become acquainted with Misuzuour time together might be shorter than you butI know; The things Misuzu likes, the cute parts of Misuzuonly I know that!

Keeping her embraceMisuzu speaks.

Yes. Im already this manswoman!

1. Its actually Nagisa

Its unclear Ruriko and Yoshiko are referring to Nagisa or Yoshida therefore I kept this neutra
