Chapter 343. A good sign

Good morning everyone

Nei-san enters the room with Margo-san

Showing a refreshed face.

Youre late! Everyones waiting for you!

Mana tells Nei-san

Sorry, Mana!

Nei-san doesnt usechanon herlittle sistersanymore

Nei-oneesanhave some tea

Megu immediately brings in tea

ThanksMegu

Everyone except Kudou-papa noticed Nei-sans change

But, nobody talks about it.

Its fine having thefamilyknow it themselves.

Anyway, lets eat?

Minaho-neesan said, the breakfast begins

The dining table is filled with laughter.

Nei-san, Margo-san, Kyouko-san, Manaare talking with sister Edie in English.

There are times Kyouko-san tease sister Edie butMargo-san follows it up skillfully.

WellEdie also knows the difference in ability so she may get angry at Kyouko-san but she doesnt revolt.

Im still making some eggs so eat a lot

Katsuko-nee tells me.

Yoshi-kun, do you need a refill?

Megus being tactful.

Shes 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 hasnt told anyone that Ill beKuromori Keitoyet.

Shes not calling meKeieither.

She seems to think that its 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?

Wellanythings fine

We have plenty of time

Ding dong

The room bell rings.

Someones here?

Ah, Ill go check it!

Mana leaves the table to see who it is

Then, she came back right away

Its Reika-oneesan!

Reikas 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-sans morning greeting is repeated by the younger ones.

Good Morning! Reika-oneesan!

G-Good morning

Reika answers downcast.

Please wait for a while. Reika-oneesans bacon and eggs will be ready soon

Katsuko-nee stands up.

Reika-oneesan, take a seat. Ill prepare tea right away

Megu invites Reika to an empty seat.

Nouhm, I

Whats wrong, Reika-oneesanwhy so nervous?

Margo-san asks Reika

ThatI

I

Take a seat first. We cant talk with you standing right there

O-Okay

Reika takes a seat.

Whats up?

Kyouko-san looks at Reika smiling.

Uhm

Its fineyou can tell us anything

Reika keeps looking down

Im ashamed of myself

Ashamed?

I have always been a frog in the well. I was overconfident of my own power

You noticed it yourself? Isnt that great?

Kyouko-san tells Reika.

Youre still young so if you find yourself wrong, then you can start over again

Yesthank you very much

Reika obediently thanked her.

But, II dont know if its okay for me to continue like this

Whats this about?

Last nightI was introduced into the family. But, is it really okay for an odd inexperienced person like me to be everyones ally? Ever since I saw my reflection of my face in the mirror this morning, I became really scared

Reika

Hmm. I dont know about that though. I dont know how to deal with this so, You deal with this

Kyouko-san looks at my face.

Reikado you want to take back your words about becoming ourfamily?

No, thats not the case. Its just thatlast night I was a fool who forgot myselfjoining in your family means joining Misuzu-samas family. To think that Ill be in such a big relationship with the head of Kouzuki familyThinking about it again, I felt like its something I shouldnt be allowed to

Oh, you felt shivering this morning

Minaho-neesan said.

Were not forcing you to anything. Its 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 Reikas life.

But

No. Reika-oneesan. Once you promised to join ourfamilyyou cant take it back anymore

Nei-san said.

Lookyou too, you should get angry sayingSelfishness is unforgivable

She looks at me with strong eyes as she speak.

Werefamilyalready!

Nei-san.

You see,its not good for Reika-oneesan to leave us now. Therefore, you wont be let go, you wont be freed. Give it up and just eat with everyone!

But

Nei-san saidReikas puzzled.

If I recallyoure a guard?

Kyouko-san asks.

Yes. Im supposed to be one of the top elites under chief Tanizawa. More or less

Meeting Kyouko-san whos got a superhuman abilityReika seems to have lost her confidence.

Your weapon is that cane? Could you take a stance?

Kyouko-san orders Reika.

No, I

Its fine, Im telling you to take a stance!

Reikado as Kyouko-san says

I order Reika.

O-Okay

Reika stands from her seat

She holds the cane with Seikan stance, facing Kyouko-san.

Thats enoughI get it

What?

That alone made me understand enough!

Kyouko-san looks up at Reika.

Youyoure the type that took only a sword training?

Reika

Y-Yes. Thats right

She answered bashfully.

Kyouko-san points at the bacon and eggs dish on the table

Katsuko-chan made this you seecan you make such a dish?

Reika looks at the dishes

I can do omelets butI dont have the confidence to make this beautiful plate

Yeahjust like the dishes and bread

Katsuko-nees 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-sans question.

Thats not it. Shes just thinking about those who would eat this. Anyway, its because she wants them to eat good looking and delicious food

Kyouko-san said.

Lets seelets turn your sword skill to a ramen shop

What?

Kyouko-san, whats with you suddenly?

You know ramen shops? If youre obsessed with the taste of your own ramen, you wont notice anything else

Kyouko-san talks seriously.

But you seeno matter how delicious the ramen the store puts outif the bowls scratched its hard to eat, if the chairs 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 dont think so

Reika answered.

Thats right. A ramen shop wont 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!

Everyones listening to Kyouko-sans talk.

I still dont know whats the relationship of ramen shop and swords.

A first class store isnt 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 dont care about that, you cant really please the customers. You wont be evaluated well. No, of coursethe shops who totally take care of the cleanliness of the shop and yet the taste isnt good is out of the question. But, you know that its wrong to think that only good taste will do

Yes

Youre quite decent on your sword. I can tell only from the stance you take. But, thats all. You dont 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, dont you?

I knowthereforeI turned my sword to Kyouko-san with that resolution

Reika answered.

You dont get it at all!

Kyouko-san scolds REika.

When you and I fight in this roomdid 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-chans safety? What would you do if Mao-chan jumps into the fight by mistake?

Reika

I didnt think about that at all

Right? You only focused on meyou were convinced to react reflexively only in accordance to the next action I take. You threw away your thoughts to yourself!

Thats true

Reika regrets.

Its okay if you were alone. But, how can you be a guard with that kind of thinking? You cant protect anyone right now! Youll focus on surviving and kill the people you should be protecting!

Aah!

Reika helplessly falls to the floor.

Youve been fighting alone all the time so thats why it turned like this! You may have the real skills but your ramen shop would be unpopular!

Reika tremblessheds tears.

Im really a useless woman. With thisI have no worth living

Thats right! Thats why youll be learning household chores from Katsuko-chan!

What?

Stay with the family you should protectand find what you can do within the family. A woman like you who has been alone until now cant grow up!

Kyouko-san.

Preparing food, cleaning, washingwhat can you do for everyone? How can you please everyone in the familyhave 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 familys happiness. If you do, you can be happy too

Y-yes

Reika nods while crying.

Of course, you have to help out in nursing Mao-chan too. Then, go take a drink every nightdont 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???

Its fine. Reika-oneesan, I will also learn from Katsuko-neesan

Megu said.

Mana tooManas going to learn too!

Mana too

Is it okay for me to be everyonesonee-san?

Reika looks at the two with teary eyes.

Isnt that obvious?Right, Onii-chan?

Mana looks at me

Ohcant 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 thats rightgive it up already and just be ourOnee-san!

Right. We welcome you

Minaho-neesan smiles from what Nei-san said.

Hey, Maogo and saywelcometo Reika-oneechan!

Welcome! Reika-oneechan!!

Mao-chans bright smile

Thank you very much. Everyone!

Reika cries inspired.

Okay, the eggs are done! My, whats wrong?

Katsuko-nee who came with a new bacon and egg dish is surprised at how Reika looks like.

Well, shes crying on the floor after all

Reika-oneesan, dont cry over therehere, here, return to your seat

Megu pats Reikas back.

Yeessssss

Reika-oneesan returns to her seat crying.

Somehow, I dont understand anything. Do you make this kind of fuss every time you make a new friend?

Kudou-papa asks me.

Wellyeah

Thats right. Every time, theyre making so much noisesayingwere allieswere family These people are really idiotic!

Yukino speaks from the side.

Yukino is only the one not on the tablewatching the TV alone.

Even so, shes hungry, chomping ceareals.

Was my Michi-kun also drawn in using this?

Thats how it happened!

Yukino shouts.

Drawn in, thats a poor choice of words!

Margo-san smiles wryly.

Anywayit wont be just me alone. All the members of thisfamilywill protect Michi. Well never abandon Michi

I promised Kudou-papa

Ohthen thats fine. Well fine. I believe you people

After answeringKudou-papas phone rings.

hm, its me. Sure, Im coming

Kudou-papa ends the call

Looks like the car you will ride on is ready. Im going ahead to talk with Tanizawa pops on how to deal with the police. Once youre 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 thatKudou-papa left the room hurriedly.

That guy is worried about Michi-chan so he came to see us

Margo-san smiles wryly.

Thats right.

Checking if were really trustworthy people or not

He came to confirm when Michi was out.

Hes a good father

Megu said.

Yeah. Im jealous of Michi-oneechan

Megu and Manas father is

Speaking of whichKyouko-san, about Australia

At the moment I said thatMana puts her finger on her lips telling me to stop speaking.

Theres still anenemyin this room so you cant talk about that here!

Enemy?Yukinos your sister though.

If youre asking about Sousuke, I confined him to a place only I know

Kyouko-san answers with a nonchalant face.

Yukinos listening here.

His whole body tied up and gaggedhis ears have headphones on with loud music so I hell be limp without even sleep

What kind of music hes listening to?

Margo-san asks.

HmmItsMagical Girl Limit-chanandBalloon girl Temple-chan!

Limit-chanandTemple-chan

What are those?

I can tell that its 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, Ill be grabbing him later

Kyouko-san laughs.

I want to go back home soon

Mana said.

Onii-chan, lets take a nap together in your roomokay?

For Mana, her house is no longer with Shirasaka family.

Its Kuromorimansionalready

Oh rightReika-oneechan!

Mana talks to Reika smiling.

For our chorestheres also Onii-chansnight attendant!

WhatMana?

Its okay! You only have to satisfy Onii-chan sexually! If Reika-oneechan doesnt understand it well then Mana and Nei-oneechan will teach you

Mana smiles at Nei-san.

Isnt that right?! Nei-san!!

ManaNei-sans a virgin. For now.

I-Ill be in your guidance!

Reika tells me.

Noif you dont like it its fine. Theres no need

Reika

NoIm not displeased by it

She answered with her face turned red.

Without this opportunityI think Ill stay virgin forever If Im going to experience it, then I would like to do it with my Lrod

O-Okay

Ahthen, Ill do my best

UhmI dont think that you can be satisfied with my body but

Reika self depreciates herself again, so Mana

Geez, Reika-oneechan! If you cant get him satisfied with one time then do it as many times as he wants! Quantity over Quality!

Err

Sorry, Ive done Mana a lot of times since she lost her virginity.

Manas done it 10 times for Onii-chans sakeif your technique cant do then compensate with numbers! If not, you cant win against Katsuko-oneechan and Nagisa-oneechan when it comes to their rich technique and experience!

Ohis that so?

NoReika.

Manas experience is special

Sorry, Mana

I made you experience such sex.

Its true. Ive done it more than ten times in one night. And I was a virgin back then!

SorryYukino.

That happened.

Errthen I have to do it ten consecutive times too. Yoshi-kun?

Meguyou want to do it?

NoI dont think that its good to do it with only me

Nei-oneechan, how many times have you done it with Onii-chanthe best record?

Mana asks Nei-san

Thats a secret!

The virgin Nei-san smiles

Sister Edie looks up at Katsuko-nee.

Whats upoh you want another?

Sister Edie doesnt mind our Japanese conversationshe just continue to eat and drink.

Shes 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.

Wellif its combat training, Margo and I will take care of her. Reika-chan, youre included as well!

Kyouko-san tells Reika.

Yes, Ill be in your guidance

Youll be taking care of her on daily life

Minaho-nesan tells me.

Edie is the same age as you and Megumiso shell 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.
