Editor: Blaze

Err

Me, Katsuko-nee, Megu, Nei, Margo-san

Kyouko-san, miss Ediemiss Cordelia and Eenie & Meenie

Ten people head to the basement.

Minaho-neesans the only one whos not participatingeither way, shes watching through the surveillance cameras.

Katsuko-nees taking the lead, miss Cordelia and her two subordinates push the wagon where the dishes and the plates are on.

What should we do when we reach the stairs? I thought

Ohthose three are ladies with too much strength.

One on each fronts, Eenie and Meenie goes down the stairs lifting up the wagon.

These two are a good combination and their trunks are well trained so the wagons not shaking at all.

They carry it in parallel with the floor without any problem.

Margo-san and I are carrying out the rolled carpet butMargo-sans carrying it lightly but Im going Wheeze already

Why are carpets so heavy?

Behind me are Nei and Megu holding cushions in both arms.

Well only carry some for now then get some more once I know the location!

Megu said

Theres two on each arm, a total of fourNei has the same number so its eight in all.

Yeah, theres ten people in need.

No, Minaho-neesan might come in later too

Reika, Mana, Nagisa and Mao-chan might join in too.

Its better if we have a lot of cushions.

Kyouko-san is on the last of the line, carrying miss Edie on her shoulders.

Eddies flapping her arms and legs a while ago but now shes limp, showing a displeased face.

Shes now sticking on Kyouko-sans shoulder like a stuffed toy.

Kyouko-san, you dont have to do thatits okay to talk to her properly I think?

Nei asks

No, this is fine. Its better to treat her as a foreign object when it comes to Agnes!

Kyouko-san seems to have an idea.

Miss Edie doesnt have anyone she thinks of a kindred spirit other than Michi

Mao-chan, her favorite isnt here too.

Nagisathe kind mother of Mao-chan, who seems to be receiving Edies favor quite a lot is also absent.

Rathershes together with miss Cordelia who she doesnt get along with and escaped from.

Kyouko-san who she cant match against tooif you ask me which, shes bad with her.

Miss Edie right now is an extreme away situation.

You all too, dont be kind to this girl! Nei and Margo, dont speak in English! Just talk in Japanese so this girl suspects on everything!

Kyouko grins.

Oh, Cordelia and your girls, speak in something else but English. I think this girl also understands Spanish

Kyouko-san instructs Eenie and Meenie who cant speak in Japanese.

They seem to cut off Edie from any information.

Cordeliayoure educating those girls properly, right?

Yes, of course Im teaching to speak multiple languagesbut that girls fromNew Orleansassassination organization, right? I think shes somehow indoctrinated with French too

Then, go with Russian or Swahili

Urdu would be fine too!

I wont understand that then. Since its a rare opportunity, Id like to be friends with them!

Margo-san told her teacher.

Margo, what language are you studying recently?

German and Italian

So Margo-sans studying those.

Then lets go with German

Kyouko-san then starts talkin in very fluent German.

Eenie and Meenie were immediately convincedreplying in German.

Margo-san talks to the two in German.

There seems to be a joke spoken and only those who knew German laughed.

KukuI dont know German!

Nei says frustrated.

Even if you say thatI only know Japanese.

Yoshi-kun, lets talk in Japanese!

Megu tells me.

Ah, thats sly, Megumi! Im talking to Yo-chan too!

Nei comes interrupting.

We walk through the corridor while having such conversations.

But still, Anges would definitely be surprised if these many people rush in

I tell Katsuko-nee

Truetheres hardly anyone entering that girls room. It makes me a bit worriedbesides

Katsuko-nee looks at the wagon.

Whats wrong?

Its her first time to have this kind of thiswould she eat it?

Huhwhat does that mean?

Katsuko-nee shows a gloomy face.

Agnes meals are restrictedher calories are calculated so she can grow up as a beauty, shes never eaten anything but special meals with balanced nutrition. Its mostly soup, jelly and juice. A set of daily exercise and those kind of mealsits a plan to make her artificial beauty

Going that far.

Masayo-san who raised Agnes is unconcerned about food. Far from tastelessshes a person whos not interested in eating at all. That person has no experience eating meals harmoniously with a family. Therefore, Agnes hasnt eaten anything but bland hospital food

Katsuko-nee leaks a sigh.

After I became the food in chargeI tried to make regular meals several times for Agnes butshe didnt eat it. For that girls, hospital food are thefood Its imprinted inside her!

Hearing Katsuko-nee, Kyouko-san

Well, thats just Katsuko serves the meal badly

What?

Katsuko-nees dumbfounded.

Either wayAgnes only saw the dishes served to her, right?

Yesthats true, but

That wont do then!

Kyouko-san laughsthen look at Edie on her shoulder.

Agnes looks an angel butyou have to think of her as a similar existence to this one

Agnes is the same as miss Edie?

This girl is also raised in a confined space just like Agnesbut, theyre an undisciplinedwild animaldont you think? You just have to treat them like theyre that kind

Wild animal

Oh, I just remembered nowthe girl, Mana-chan was it? There was a plan to make her a super model beauty right? The data for her diet and exercise are almost complete. Thats Agnes data back then

Kyouko-san looks at me.

In Agnes case, she started from infancy butI think that we can formulate a physical remodeling program from age 14. The bad taste from the hospital food would be improved by Katsuko

I seeif we have AgnesBeautification development projectin progress, we can just have Mana take the same.

We can have a reliable program even without starting to plan from scratch.

ActuallyAgnes has grown to an amazing beauty.

Manas also got some good foundation.

Im sure that shell be an amazing beauty too

But, we have to keep that a secret from Mana-chan!

Kyouko-san said.

Not only to meTo Nei, Margo-san, Megu too

True. Mana-chan would feel sad if she learns that its originally a project of Shirasaka Sousuke for Agnes

Katsuko-nee mutters.

I see.

Her real father was aiming to make her half-sister beauty just for him to rape after all

To re-use that and experience it herself is justsickening.

Got it. Ill keep it a secret from Mana!

Un. Lets make it a plan we made from scratch for Mana-chans sake!

Margo-san said.

Nei and Megu-chan toookay?

Yes

Got itMargo-oneechan

Both of them agreed.

Now then.

Before long, our group of people arrived in front of the doors lined upthe one I visited with Minaho-neesan a while ago.

Katsuko-nee

I look at the door where Minaho-neesans father was confined.

Its okayits already transfered

Kuromori Koichiro whos crippled by drugsis no longer here.

But still, I feel like theres some black grudge remaining in that room.

Now thenwell be rushing in

Kyouko-san saidKatsuko-nee tries to unlock the door to Agnes room.

Ahwait, its not fun if we just come in normally

Kyouko-san?!

Ive got a good idea!

Kyouko-san grins

Lets come in singing a song!

Song?

A musical form

Myujikaru?

Someonestop Kyouko-san!

Okay everyone? Ill confirm the lyrics again so confirm which number you are okay!

Kyouko-san looks at all of us.,

UhmKyouko-san. Cant we not do this song but instead lets sing a normal song likeHappy birthday to you?

Nei says confused

No!

W-Why!?

Aint it unusual for us to singHappy Birthday to Youat this kind of timing?! Theres no element of surprise!Besides

Besides

Happy Birthday to Youscopyright hasnt expired yet!

Ehis that so?

No, Kyouko-sanIn US copyright protection period has extended, so that song wont expire until 2030 but., This is Japan

Margo-san explains.

The copyright has expired back in 2007

My, is that so?

Yes

Well then, isnt it fine for us to singHappy Birthday to You!

Nei strongly insists on changing the song.

No nowe have to do whats originally planned right? Lets go with my plan! Its fine, its perfect with the number of people

Kyouko-san laughs.

Kyoukos unstoppable when this happens. Shell never yield with her planalso, you all know this persons character, dont you?

Miss Cordelia tells us.

Butthis song is a joke towards me

Margo-san looks at her master.

Speaking of whichthats true.

You dont have to mind that! Its just a nursery rhyme!

Kyouko-san laughs out loudly

Heyeveryone get ready, theres no rehearsal!

Kyouko-san confirms Agnes position from the peephole.

OkayAgnes is at the bed as expected. With that saideveryone, when I open the door go in front of Agnes in turns

I also check inside.

We have to proceed fast about five meters from the door

Ill run the final checkOneis me. Two-Margo. Threeyou boy. FourKatsuko, Five Nei, SixMegumi-chan. Sevenis Cordelia, EightMeenie, NineMeenie, Tenwould be thismonkeyon my shoulder but I dont think she will sing so we all willokay?!

Its too late.

Ive prepared myself already

Katsuko-nee mutters powerlessly

Okaywell then, lets go!

Kyouko-san unlocks the door.

Agnes deep in the room put herself on guard

Click!

Kyouko-san opens the iron door.

Then.

Dedededen! A sore! Dedededen! A sore!

Kyouko-san comes in the room while clapping her hands together strangely.

Edie on her shoulder is just still.

She stands in front of Agness bed and takes a pose, smiling.

Okay, thats starting.

I rush inside while holding the carpet with Margo-san.

We cant catch with the song unless we do it in this timing.

Kyouko-san sings out loud

One little,

A bit hurried, Margo-san

two little,

I followed.

hree little

Three people.

Indians

Following, Katsuko-nee, Nei, Megu comes in.

Four little, five little, six little Indians

Miss Cordelia, Eenie & Meenie slowly push in the wagon

Seven little, eight little, nine little Indians

Lastly, Kyouko-san raised Edie highand everyone!

Ten little Indian boys

Then, a pose of your own!

What the hell is this?

Its true that theres ten of us, but

Actually, theres no other Indians than Margo-san

Im the only boy

Taha, that looks good!

Kyouko-san laughs happily.

I look at Agnes sitting on the bed once again.

Agnes is.

Her eyes are in perfect circle, surprised.

Well of course.

Its too odd for a group appear singing so suddenly.

Okay, infiltration successful. Suppress the floorMargo and lad, Lay the carpet in front of Agnes

Margo-san and I are instructed on where we should position the carpet.

This carpet is wideits around 10 tatami mats.

Katsuko, lay down the placemats wherever neededNei and Megumi-chan, arrange the cushions on proper places

Kyouko-san, Im going to take over more cushions!

Nei says, but

Thats enough for now! If people come and go, Agnes would feel nervousAh, keep the door open. Make Agnes see that the door is open. Cordelia and Margo, make sure thismonkeycant run away

Roger

Agnes needs to be shown the door world.

But, Edies not allowed to run away through there.

Okay, everyone sit wherever you wantKatsuko, take care of the food. Make sure that this room is filled with a delicious food!

Yes, Kyouko-sanIll warm it up for a bit

One of the wagons has a large pot of stew made by Katsuko-neesan.

Connect the cord to the outlet therethis wagons also an IH heater

As told, I plugged the wagons cord into the wall outlet.

Katsuko-nee flips the switchtakes off the lid of the large pot, then stir it up

The smell of the stew drifts.

Jururi

Guuu!

The swallowing of saliva and the rumbling of stomach sound at the same time.

Both of them were from Edie.

Miss Ediewerent you eating just a while ago?

Weve got tacos here too!

Miss Cordelia takes off the big round metal cover on the second wagon.

Yeah, theres a lot of plates.

This is the salad Megumi-chan and I made. Theres tortilla for tacos so its delicious just eating sandwiches of it!

Kyouko-san opens the third wagon and said.,

Katsuko-nee takes out the stew bowl and spoons from the bottom of the wagon.

Katsukolisten, you should show it to Agnes clearly

Kyouko-san said.

Show that youre distributing the stew scooped out from the same pot to everyone. Make this girl understand that everyones eating the same thing!

I see.

Agnes has only seen dishes served for herself.

If she knows that everyone else is eating the same stew from the same pot

Agnes might eat together with us.

For now

Shes looking at us with eyes filled with vigilance

Her bodys stiffmaking sure she can escape further in the bed.

Okay, give out the stew

Katsuko-nee makes a plate of stewthen hand it to everyone.

Katsuko-nees the current food in charge of Agnes.

She should know that this is food from the smell.

Katsuko-nee giving out food should stimulate the image inside Agnes.

In short.

Making her recognize that shes in charge of food of everyone even outside ofAgnes room

If the image of the outside world springs up even a bit

Okay, everyone has their plates

Kyouko-san says.

Miss Edie and Agnes dont have one yet!

Katsuko-nee answers.

OopsI forgot

Kyouko-san lowers miss Edie

Purposely closer to Agnes.

HereEdie-san

Katsuko-nee smilegiving Edie a stew bowl.

Edie accepts it scared.

Fufufun! Cordelia

Okaay~

Kyouko-san and miss Cordelia approaches Edie to restrain her.

Nkaga!!

Edie hates the approach of the two and head towards Agnes bed.

Agnes is frightened but she cant respond to Edies speed.

Just like that, she cant move from the edge of the bed.

Edie also hates being too close to Agnes.

In the endShe sits in a slightly away position from Agnes bed.

Then, she noticed that theres no spoon.1

Yes, Im taking one out right now

Katsuko-nee takes out a spoon for Edie to see.

But, before that

Katsuko-nee scoops a stew from the large pot for Agnes.

Then, she put a spoon on it and took it towards Agnes.

Agnes is nervously looking this way

Katsuko-nee didnt give the dish to Agnes directly

But instead she put it on Agnes front and left the spoon.

Followingshe handed the spoon to Edie.

Edie tries to eat the stew right away, but

STAY

Kyouko-san shouts to Edie in a frightening fashion!

Edie freezes.

Eh, Sutei?

Nei answers my question.

Its an order used for dog disciplineIn Japanese, its calledI guess?

Miss Edies treatment turned fromMonkeytoDog2

AhAgnes whos right beside her is also frozen from Kyouko-sans roar.

It seems that she knows that shes not the one being told off though

EveryoneI dont know whether God really exists or not. But, I dont like to thank God for everything. Before you give thanks to Godtheres a lot of people in this world you have to thank too

Kyouko-san tells us.

Miss Cordelia translates it to German for Eenie and Meenie.

Above allIm thankful to those who cook food. Thank you, Katsuko, Thank you, Cordelia, Eenie & Meenie. Megumi-chan too, thank you

Kyouko-san toothank you!

Nei said.

Yeahthanks

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

We al speak our thanks to each other.

Well thenlets eat!

Kyouko-san orders.

Lets eat

We bring the spoon to the stewand to our mouths.

YesDelicious

Edies watching us eat

ALL RIGHT

Kyouko-san gives out an OK

Edie slurps the stew with an amazing momentum.

Agnes looks at her dumbfounded.

Agnestry and eat it, its delicious

Katsuko-nee speaks to Agnes while eating stew.

I see, this girl understands Japanese.

She looks like a foreigner so I thought that shes the same as Edie who doesnt understand what we say, but.

Yes, its delicious! Agnes!

Nei also speaks to Agnes smiling.

Agnes stares at the dish in front of her

1. And then Edie became the ONE

2. Were going to complete the Zodiac
