Chapter 346
The blue Maserati runs across the morning road
The skys sunnywere in the middle of the Golden Week.,
The atmosphere of relaxed holidays is in the city.
Margo-san plays music in the car.
Its a gentle and relaxinga beautiful womans English song.
OhI love this one
Nei-san said
Whats this song?
Brazil
Nei-san smiles gently.
BRAZILis a movie title you seeand that song plays on the dream scenes. This is a version Kate Bush sings
Margo-san said.
BRAZILis the original title but in Japanits calledFuture Century Brazil
Nei-san teaches me.
Of courseI dont get it.
Kate Bush is really great. I like her
Is that so?
Yeah. Theres a song calledWuthering Heightssung by herI love both the song and the lyric but, its been used as an opening show on variety shows in Japan they said. Thats why the comedy image comes into my head
Nei-san talks of a story.
When I came back to Japan and just entered high schoolI was in the chorus club. I made friends, and told themI like this songas I listen toWuthering Heightsand they laughed at meit was a huge shock on me
Nei-san also had that time
Immediately after, the man under Shirasaka Sousuke tried to make a move on herand Nei-san turned to a delinquent blonde haired girl.
Pairing up with Margo-san, in exchange of protectionshe lost friends in school.
Theyre not at fault butonce they get along with me and had themselves targetted, they might be turned to prostitutes
Out high school has been a source of prostitutes forKuromori
At present, Iwakura-kaichou is supposed to be the last, but
Theres my case with Cesario Violaever since I came to Japan, Ive been watching the lives of prostitutes in the mansionsex didnt have a very good image in me. Really, until recentlyyou came. Ive come to think that sex may be a kind of fun act
Nei-san calls me asyou
Shes not calling meKeieven in front of Margo-san.
Was it from when you saw me having sex with Misuzu or Katsuko-nee?
No. I felt it since you first raped Yukino-san. You have a completely different atmosphere when raping compared to Shirasaka Sousuke1
Different?
Yeswhen Shirasaka Sousuke rapes a girl, hes showing a faint smilelooking like hes having fun. And its disgusting. Its selfish, and he only hurt the girls body and heart
Yeah.
Rape is like that.
The mans libido being forced into a woman.
Butwhen you raped Yukino-san. It was different from the first time. Youre so serious, that even watching through the video was painful. It was sad. It looks like you were trying to cling into Yukino-sans body from the bottom of your heart
Was I like that?
Or ratherits always like that. Whoever you do it with
Margo-san says from the driver seat
At the same trying youre trying to fill the void in your heartyou desperately try to fill up the sadness of the other partys heart. Its so painful and so sad. Youre really an interesting child
Even if you tell me that
Kyouko-sans really surprised about you
She was surprised about me?
No, you see I was on the middle of reporting the progress to Kyouko-san. Then, she was really surprised to see us in flesh. Minaho and Katsuko-san who were mentally unstable is now calmNagisa-san, Nei, and even me
Margo-san too? Isnt Margo-san quite calm since when weve met?
Margo-san laughs.
Is that how you saw it? Thats wrong. Even I was as unstable as everyone else. Its just that Neis instability stands out more, I guess?
Thats right. This persons quite a moody one you know!
Nei-san doesnt useMaru-chaneither
As expected, the person in this car right nowis a person in between Nei-san and Yasuko-san.
Her personality isnt fixed.
Kyouko-san is worried about leaving us alone going to Australia. Butthere was no other choice but to let Kyouko-san capture Shirasaka Sousuke on that side. Minahos quite rushing to carry out her plan
Why?
Shirasaka Sousuke planned to turn Megu-chan to a prostitute by Monday, you do know that right? Minaho wants to prevent it from happening by all means. Therefore, she had no choice but to start therevenge planin panic
I see
For Minaho-nesan, Megu is a memento of a senior prostitute shes indebt with
She definitely dont want Megu to be turned to a prostitute.
Kyouko-san and I have been regretting what happened to Nagisa-san
Nagisa?
Nagisa-san was forced to be pregnantand gave birth to Mao-chan. At that time, Kyouko-san wasnt in the mansion. She had to leave Japan for theMalandrowork by all means Kyouko-san wasnt there so Shirasaka Sousuke did the absurd. ButMinaho nor I didnt have the power to stop the tyranny of that man It was a painful reminder for us
Mao-chans three years old soNagisa got pregnant four years ago.
Margo-sans fifteen years old, just coming to Japan from America
It was also the time when Minaho-neesan hasnt grasped the management ofKuromori
Shirasaka Sousuke was approached with a Yakuza organizationif it continues, Megu-chan would be abducted regardless ofKuromori Thats why she leaked thecustomer listinformation to Shirasaka Sousuke in hurry
And lured him to Australia
There was a fear that it would become an all out war with Shirasaka Sousuke and the Yakuza organization inside Japan. We dont have that kind of power. It was necessary to send him overseas to separate him with the Yakuza. Besides, Kyouko-san would be able to move freely there
For Kyouko-san whos from an international factionits hard for her to move in a country like Japan.
Thenshes been worried if we were all right all this time. I know it very well because Im in contact with her every day, but. We are really mentally weak people after all
Thats not true. Margo-san, Minaho-neesan, Katsuko-nee, and Nagisaall the seniors are doing well arent they? Theyre always helping us younger ones
Thats not it. Thats not the truth
Margo-san speaks as she look straight in front.
Its thanks to you. All of it
No, I didnt do anything
Because of your existencewere able to discipline ourselves. We dont want to hurt your trustwe wanted to bea good elder sisterto you
Myelder sisters?
Everyones so desperate. But, theyre not doing the unreasonable. Everyones having funbeingyourOnee-san Because you believe in uswere able to forgive ourselves for the first time in our lives. We became able to love ourselves. Were doing our best to become your elder sisters
I dont get it
Nei-san holds my hand.
It might be something you dont understand. Butits certain that youve turned us to a good direction!
Its not just us. The younger girls tooMisuzu-san, Megu-chan, Mana-chan, Michi-chan tootheyre growing more and more by touching you. Reika-oneesan and Seki-san too
Eh?
EarlierKyouko-san scolded Reika-oneesan right?
Nei-san tells me.
Ah, yes
Thats just rare. Kyouko-san is a person who never scolds people unless theyre promising
Is that so?
Yeah. Shell usually make fun and just turn it to a joke. Its my first time seeing Kyouko-san scolding seriously
Margo-san said.
Kyouko-sans too smart of a person sogetting angry, is only exhausting the physical strength. Shell come up with a countermeasure right away. Shell be moving on the next action before she gets angry. Just like the police officer a while ago who doesnt hesitate to threaten othersshell just use force fast on people who are foolish enough to not understand
On top of being smart, shes also absurdly strong
Before she gets angry, she already takes out the other party by force?
The remaining pride inside Reika-oneesan is completely destroyed
Nei-san?
Reika-oneesan whos been crossdressing didnt hide her vulnerable heart and pride with that appearance. And now, all of the armor worn by her heart is peeled off
Yeah. She opened her heartgot naked in front of us. I think that letting her to go Nagisa-sans shop is the right choice
Is that so?
Thats right. Reika-oneesan right now is too bareshe cant do a guard work. Its better for her to familiarize herself with the atmosphere of the family with Nagisa-san and Mao-chan
If she understands what she want to protectI think that Reika-oneesan will become stronger
Margo-san said.
No, actuallybefore you got up, Kyouko-san said. Shes surprised that were mentally stable butall the people you bring have good qualities
No, its not that I bring them in
I wonder? I think that youre the key man but
Thats right. Without youMisuzu-san , Michi-san, Mana-san and Reika-oneesan wont join in the family
As expectedNei-san doesnt useChan
Who wouldve thought that even Kouzuki-san joined in the family
Welleven I am surprised.
Really, your ability is phenomenal, thats what Kyouko-san said
No, Im just
I dont have a roleeven though Im just being pulled by everyone.
Are you not good at dealing with Kyouko-san?
Margo-san asks me.
Hmmlets see. I still dont know what kind of person she is after all
Kyouko-san is thefather ofKuromori
Nei-san said.
A father role even though shes a womanI think its hard for you to understand.
Right. Kyouko-sans got a masculine role after all
Ohbecause shes a lesbian.
Shes a person who complicated the feminine sensibility and masculine thinking. Therefore, its hard to understand the behavior of hers. If we make it clear by sayingThis person is everyones fatherthen itll be easy to understand, however
Margo-san said.
I seeI guess thats the cause of the sense of discomfort I feel with Kyouko-san.
It doesnt feel like shes the eldest sister ofKuromori
Minaho-neesan is definitely the eldest sister, but
Kyouko-san is thefather?
Thatfatheris acknowledging your existence properly. Youre the indispensable brother to us
Nei-san tells me smiling.
Kyouko-san has praised other parts of you as well. Especially how you distinguish Yukino-san apart from the family, making a proper line
About Yukino
That girls really hopeless
Even Nei-sanher evaluation of Yukino seems to be low.
If its a normal guythe affection gradually goes up the longer you stay together, even with someone like Yukino-san would definitely be turned to a relative. In your case, you were able to make a clear distinction
I
Yukino-san will never be our allyyou know that shes a girl who we can never let our guard down. Its rare for men to do such things, even excellent to do sothus Kyouko-san praised you
Margo-san says so but.
I just know that Yukino and I will never understand each other
Its the relationship of two straight line in three dimensions
What?
Mathematicallyin a three dimensional world, there are four kind of relationships done by two straight lines. First is completely overlappingSecond isextend parallel, third iscrossing at one pointthe fourth isbending on one pointnever crossing
Err
If you think of a human life as a single straight lineits funny isnt it? Its not easy for one and anothers life to completely overlap. If theyre parallel, theyll be able to see each other all the time. There are lives where they cross at one point and then continue on different ways. Even if you think its parallel, in fact its twisted a bit of an angleit may be the life relationship of twist, that goes away gradually
Thats right.
The encounters with peoples lives are various.
Yukino and Inormally would have a relationship that would never intersect, twist from the beginning to end. Butby coincidence, were able to cross at a point now. But, whats ahead is to go away gradually
Our lives will never overlap nor become parallel
After getting involved oncewhats left is to break up
Life is only goodbyeshuh
Margo-san sighs.
What was that?
Theres a person who used to say that. Everyday you meet a lot of people even if youre not conscious of them. Therefore, people are only conscious ofparting
I seebecause youre supposed to break up, thats why youre kind to Yukino-san
Nei-san mutters.
What about me?
What?
Do you think of me as a person youll part from someday?
I
I dont want to. I want us to stay together forever!
Nei-san smiles.
Me too
Therefore, lets stay together. Please stay with me
Thats what I should ask from you
Nei-san kisses my hand.
I dont want to part. Let us be together until death
Nei-san
Before long, the car arrives to the town where I live.
Ah, lets stop on a convenience store or something. We dont have anything to drink at all
Thats right.
I havent come back to the house for a while
Theres no tea leaves or packs in there. I never had any visitor at house
Does your father or mother not drink tea?
Margo-san asks.
AhI dont know
Dont know?
Im off limits on the zone where my father and mother lives
Eh, theres only one kitchen right?
Nei-sans surprised.
Yeahsince grandma died, both of them eat only outside Both of them have the refrigerator in their room I guess? Ive never seen their rooms so I dont know, but
Then, youre using the kitchen alone?
I borrow the water and stove. I also have one aluminum pot for myself. But, Im not allowed to use anything other than that
Not allowed?
The fridge in the kitchen isnt used so its a waste, therefore its pulled out of the socket. All of the cupboards are locked. Ive been using my own cups, dishes and chopsticks bought from the hundred yen shop
But, isnt it troublesome that you cant use the refrigerator?
Nei-san looks at me with amazed eyes.
Im not troubledIve been living alone in the house for a month since spring. The food is mostly bread or cup noodlesand the water is all you can drink tap water. Sometimes, I boil water and drink it
ButIf you buy juice you need to cool it you know?
I dont buy those. I cant pay a hundred to hundred-twenty for drinks. I thought that I couldnt live without saving money
Nei-san hugs my body tightly.
Oh rightyou were that kind of boy
Theres a big drugstore thereso well stop by
Margo-san parked the car.
Oh, though its a pharmacy, they sell a lot of drinks.
I avoid artificial sweeteners and stimulants
Margo-san said, as she take the barley tea bottle.
Im fine with that tea over there. Its got to be cool to be delicious
Nei-san chose straight tea and goes to the back of the shop
Sorry, Ive got to buy other things
What is she buying?
I took a mineral water
You sure?
Margo-san asks.
Yes. Its cheap, can be drunk even warm, and is more delicious than tap water
You drink a lot of tap waterJapan has good water except for Tokyo
Is it different on other places?
In foreign countries, there are many who get sick from drinking tap water. Even when taking shower, if you dont close your eyes properly, there will be germs entering your eyes
Ooh
In Japanwhen you leave Tokyo, tap water is also delicious. Anyway, Tokyos tap water is horrible
I dont know the taste of water in other places.
Now then, lets buy that bottle and wait in the car
Eh, shouldnt we wait for Nei-san?
Margo-san smiles.
Men shouldnt look at what girls buy in pharmacies2
Oh, okay.
Pharmacies sell things that are very private.
Especially for women
Truegot it
Neiwell be waiting outside!
Margo-san tells Nei-san whos at the back of the store.
Yeah! Im coming right away, just wait for a while!
Thanks for the wait!
Nei-san comes to the car holding a small plastic bag.
I better not ask whats inside.
Margo-san starts the car.
The car components are restarted.
After the sound of engineA Japanese song different from earlier plays.
Whats this? A folk song?
Who sang this?
Nei-san asks Margo-san.
I dont know this well too. It seems to be an old Japanese band, butKatsuko-san lent me this
Hmm, its an interesting songwhats the title?
Flower, sun, rain
Wrapped in gentle musicthe Maserati heads to my house
Please turn to the corner therethe three frontage is my house
I came back
Its been a while
How many times has it been since I left home?
Back thenI was a virgin.
It hasnt been a week since then and yet
I feel like it was decades ago
Okay, weve arrived
Margo-san stopped the car in front of the house.
Then, you two can go ahead
Eh?
Ill be waiting here!
Why?
Nei-san asks.
You dont want to watch me lose my virginity?
Margo-san smiles gently
Neiyou should be independent from me
Nei-san gasps.
Ive been trying to keep Nei from being alone since weve met in US. Me, Kyouko-san, Minaho-, Katsuko-san always stay close to Nei. Everyones worried about Nei all the time
For Nei-san whos mentally unstable
Someones always by her side.
That is why theres always someone with Nei, butin exchange, Nei has never told any secrets to us
Secrets
Margo-sans eyes looking at Nei-sanis very kind.
I think that you two need to have a secret only you know
Margo-san looks at me.
You tooyour sex have always been monitored by someone. Its about time for you to be out of that situation soon
Where nobody can see
Nei-san and I are alone
Were going to have sex.
Becoming an adult is a secret to havego
Margo-san smiles.
You two go make a secret
1. Still rape
2. words of wisdom
