Chapter 440. Womens harmony

Did you call for me, Onii-sama?

After talking with Mana, this time Ruriko comes over.

Rurikos hiding her crotch and chest with a towel and her hands.

Uhm, I thought that exposing my skin would make Onii-sama pleased but, Nei-oneesama gave me advice saying that Ruriko must not forget embarrassment

Ruriko says as she blushes.

Yeah, true, its better to have only Mana walking around naked without concern. Rurikos much cuter when embarrassed

Thank you very much

Come here

Yes

Ruriko comes to my bathtub.

Ah, Manas breaking the rules of not soaking the towel in bath

I say in panic.

Ruriko doesnt have experience in bathing as groups.

Is that so?

Yeah, you take off the towel and keep it outside the tub

Certainly

Ruriko folds her towel precisely then puts it on the edge of the tub.

Once again, she goes to my side, hiding her nipples and crotch with one hand.

Do you take a bath with Yoshiko-san usually?

In the past, yes, but Rurikos already an adult. I take baths alone

I see.

Just because shes an Ojou-sama, she doesnt need to have someone to wash her body.

I have Yoshiko-sama take care of my hair after taking a bath

Taking care of your hair?

Making sure that its dried up properly, combed, or else womens hair becomes messy

I-I see.

Yoshiko-sama washes my body until elementary school. Thinking about it now, I feel sorry for her

Ruriko and Yoshiko-sans age difference is three years.

Ever since she became old enough to be aware, Yoshiko-san looked after Ruriko as her attendant.

But, Yoshiko-sans actually Rurikos cousin.

Ruriko seems to feel sorry making her blood-related cousin take care of her all this time.

Then, this time, lets have Ruriko wash Yoshiko-sans back. You can take a bath together again

Onii-sama

Ruriko looks at me.

Just have Ruriko do what Yoshiko-san has done to you until now. Its not like you wont be meeting Yoshiko-san again!

Yes, thats true

Ruriko nods.

Onii-sama, would you mind having me next to you?

No, come

Ruriko sits next to me.

Her smooth shoulders stick tightly to me.

I like Onii-sama. Im delighted I met Onii-sama

Ruriko

Now, Im having fun on everything I cant hold back. All things surprise me come one after another, I would not have imagined taking a bath with everyone, naked, like this. To think I would feel this much peace from taking a bath with a man

Ruriko kisses my chest.

Then, what is the subject of my call?

This 15-year-old Ojou-sama looks up at me, smiling.

Yeah, since this is an excellent opportunity for Ruriko, try to get along with people you do not get along with

Everyone other than Minaho-neesan and Kyouko-sans group is in the bathroom.

The people, I dont get along with?

Ruriko shows a curious face.

I have already talked to most people, but,

She was with Nei and Margo-san from the time they kidnap her.

Mana, Mao-chan, and Agnes were making cake under Katsuko-nees guidance.

Misuzu and Michi, are known from long ago.

Is this about Edie-san?

No, lets leave Edie to Michi

I dont understand the thoughts of that American fighting girl that well.

No, even Michis train of thought becomes uneasy sometimes, but;

Michi can be understood when she talks, and Misuzu and others are watching over her.

Michi seems to be thinking about Edie so lets try to watch over them for a while.

Then, is it about Megumi-oneesama and Nagisa-oneesama?

There it comes.

Why do you call Megumi with -oneesama and Nagisa is just -sama?

Ah

Ruriko mumbles.

No, its merely because you didnt have enough time to talk and understand each other, right?

I think so too

Ruriko admits

No, it is as Onii-sama says, I might not be getting along with them that well

Huh?

I dont usually have a relationship with a motherly woman until now

Its not motherly, Nagisa is Mao-chans mother.

Ah, Rurikos bad with her mother

I understand whats in Rurikos mind.

No, uhm, I

Misuzu grew up with her parents, but,

Jii-chan separated Ruriko from her parents, isolated then raised her with Yoshiko-san

Thats of course under the strict command of the head of Kouzuki house, Jii-chan, but,

But still, just because of an order, the beloved daughters separated from the parents.

The father, Kouzuki Shigeakis also a problem.

Dont worry. Im the same

I smile at Ruriko.

This isnt boasting, but I never talked to my mother properly ever since I was born

The other side was ordered arbitrarily

No, thats also different,

That person never talked to me directly.

That person just orders me about Father or Grandma.

That person doesnt even look into my eyes.

Onii-sama

Ask about me from Misuzu, Megu, or Nei-neesan. I think that would help Ruriko to get along with everyone

Yeah

I see, I think of myself as Maos father, I think of myself as Nagisas husband, so I dont hate Nagisas motherliness

I see a new perspective in my mind thanks to Ruriko.

Or rather, Rurikos image of Nagisa as Mao-chans mother is too strong. You have to fix that

What do you mean?

Nagisa is my woman before Mao-chans Mama. Shes one of Rurikos precious family. Shes Rurikos elder sister

yes

Try to look at her as a woman. Shes a bright, gentle and a lovely sister

I understand, Onii-sama

Also.

Rei-chan too, Rurikos the only one calling her Fujimiya-san , right? Of course, Rurikos been having Rei-chan as a guard from Kouzuki security service so I dont think that could be fixed, but;

Ah, thats not the case

Huh, Ruriko?

I purposely talk to Fujimiya-san like that

On purpose?

Yes, I think that Onii-samas thought of regressing her to early childhood would be good for fixing her twisted views, but,

Ruriko speaks.

She may be a toddler in mind, but Fujimiya-sans body is already an adult. I think that the person herself feels the most discomfort

Yeah, Reikas tall, and she also has a wonderfully fleshed out body.

Therefore, when we all speak to Fujimiya-san as her infant mode Rei-chan, I thought that Fujimiya-san herself feels that shes stuck between a rock and a hard place. Furthermore, shes under the impression that shes the one making herself feeling out of place so Fujimiya-san might lead to self-denial speaking my senses are mistaken

I-I see thats why

Then, I call her Fujimiya-san occasionally. It shows that the sense of discomfort shes feeling is from the outside. I think its a necessary safety device for Fujimiya-sans spirit

Rurikos been thinking about that, I see.

No, I do not deny Onii-samas thoughts. I think that its undoubtedly better for Fujimiya-san to go back to her early childhood and experience rebuilding her relationship with others. But, its dangerous to completely regress her to an infant, as expected, there has to be a stop somewhere

Yeah, Rurikos right.

Fujimiya-sans has come and gone between an infant and adult so many times. I think that the magnitude of the fluctuation has a positive influence on Fujimiya-san. Therefore

Got it, do what you feel is right

Well call Reika as Rei-chan.

Ruriko will call her Fujimiya-san.

That would make Reikas heart go back and forth as a toddler and adult.

Her heart will sway.

Its dangerous to fix her only to a young girl, Rurikos right.

You really understand peoples hearts

I tell Ruriko.

I think that its because one can observe from the outside, objectively, calmly

Rurikos skin soaked in hot water has become red.

There are beads of sweat floating on her forehead and nose.

If its my own heart, I wont understand it

Ah

Its about Yoshiko-san?

Yes, I cant see the answer to what I would like to do with Yoshiko-sama or what I should do

The futures unobstructed yet she cant see her answer.

Onii-sama, what should I think about in the future?

Future/

Yes, Onii-sama has great power now, what would use this power for?

Power?

No, I dont have any power

Im a dumb guy

I dont have any athletic ability.

No, Onii-sama has the wisdom and courage, authority, assets, and even violence, everything

Huh?

Kuromori-sama and Katsuko-oneesama have the intellect. Kouzuki houses authority and wealth. Kyouko-samas fighting power. Onii-sama has the potential to influence both the surface and the underground world!

I smile wryly

Thats the power Minaho-neesan has in Kuromori, that has nothing to do with me

What are you talking about, Onii-samas the center of all the powers connected. Onii-samas in the middle, so thats why were stable

Is that so?

Im just a normal high school student1

Im even inferior to other people.

Im already filled with the thoughts of what I have to do

Ruriko smiles.

What you have to do?

Yeah. First would be searching a school Mana could transfer. Im also worried about Megus clubmates, worried about Michi and Edie. Also, of course, Agnes-chan and Rei-chan too. Also

What is it?

Shes not here so, how is Yukino doing?

Since she has an amazing nerve, she could be sleeping soundly under a blanket.

Im worried about Minaho-neesan

It had a good result to have her away from the mansion for one night, but;

Minaho-neesans revenge will be finished this evening.

Also, Im of course worried about Ruriko and Yoshiko-san too

T-Thank you

Ruriko blushed.

Jii-chan too, I hope he doesnt get dispirited

Jii-chans also my family.

I have to resolve each and one of them

Yeah

Im already doing all my best on those. Thats the only thing I can do after all

I dont have the time to think about the future.

Onii-sama, do you not have a dream or purpose in life?

For now, a bakery

I declared.

A bakery?

Yeah, I promised Katsuko-nee, besides, I have to work and earn money

Why?

Because moneys needed for Megu and Manas tuition and other expenses

So Onii-sama will make bread for those?

Rurikos surprised.

Yeah, Ill make bread and sell it. Thats all I can think of, for now, either way, Katsuko-nee has decided to make a shop. I have to help her. Ah, I will help out in Nagisas shop too

Onii-sama?!

Ah, dont misunderstand, Mana and Megu doesnt have parents now, so I have to earn their tuition and living expenses but, Ill make for Ruriko as well

For me too?

Yeah, thats obvious. Youre also my woman

However, Kouzuki-samas put out my support cost

Oh, Jii-chan did say that. He said hell pay hundreds of millions a year?

Thats on its own, well, I can deposit it to Minaho-neesan and Katsuko-nee. But, I want to earn money for you

If not, Im not a man.

Either way, the money I earn will be divided evenly and handed to everyone. I dont have any hobbies nor wants

The problem is whether I can feed everyone with the wage I earn from the bakery or not.

Well, Katsuko-nees going to manage the bakery.

I will just do all my best.

Is that okay with you, Onii-sama?

Ruriko asks.

Obviously it is. Isnt that what it means to live with everyone? To be happy together?

Thats what I think.

My aim is just that. To make everyone live happily. For that, I will do everything one by one. Thats all I can do so theres no choice but to do it

I accepted my family.

I definitely dont want to let go of them.

Im moved

Ruriko said.

Onii-sama is like this thats why Katsuko-oneesama, Nagisa-sama, Kuromori-sama are so attached to Onii-sam

I guess. Im unreliable after all

I cant do anything without them.

Im grateful to my elder sisters

Thats not true, Onii-samas very strong

Ruriko smiles at me.

Hey, its about time you free him up, the other girls will get angry if you dont

Katsuko-nee comes and tells Ruriko.

Ah, Im sorry

I

Ruriko too, if you want to do something then tell me. Ill help you out

Onii-sama?

Dont hold yourself for me. Its Rurikos life after all

!

I will make you happy as well. Definitely!

Ruriko hugs me.

Tightly, strongly

I already am

Then I will make you even happier

Yes

Ruriko kisses my forehead kindly.

This person guards the base so we can attack more outside

Katsuko-nee tells Ruriko.

If you get tired and come home, he will come to heal you. He will never betray his family. He will always smile and hug you

Yes, Katsuko-oneesama

Ruriko smiles at me.

Lets have Onii-sama stay in the center of the house!

Thats how it is, if hes at home, we can fight outside in peace

What do you mean, Katsuko-nee?

I dont get what Katsuko-nees talking about.

Hmm, even if you make bread in my bakery, you must devote to production

Huh?

You see, in a bakery, theres a shop-front seller, there are other girls better than you in that, right?

No, Ill do it alone

Look, in a bakery, you must make bread quickly all day

What?

In mornings, you make breakfast bread, during lunch, lunch bread. Afternoon, snacks. At nights, you make bread for a take-home or French bread. Depending on the type of day, you have to make different kinds of bread, make, bake, make bake, a repetition of it

I see

I see its different from convenience stores bread.

I must contest with freshly baked bread.

Thats why, you make the bread in the bakery, or instead theres a lot of candidates for a cute girl seller

Ah, thats true.

Instead of me, Megu, Mana, Nei, are all beauties.

It will sell more if the sellers are women.

You can make bread, and when youre free, play with Mao-chan and other girls. Well deal with the business side

Katsuko-nee smiles.

Yeah, Ill leave that to Katsuko-nee and others of course

I dont think I have a business sense

Katsuko-nee looks at RUriko.

He will protect the home in that manner. The place we come home is his place, so you understand whats for the best, right?

Ruriko

True, it certainly might

Hes such an honest and kind person. Its dangerous to let him out carelessly

What?

Am I that useless?

Thats not it, but look, it would be troublesome if you get caught by a strange girl

Katsuko-nee laughs.

Katsuko-oneesama, youve already thought of a specific plan for it

Rurikos admiring

Well, of course, its our future after all

Katsuko-nee laughs.

By the way, my bakery and Nagisas flower shop will be in the same building. Well be buying the whole building. Well be living on the upper floor. Then well make a big bath just like this one so everyone can come in. Im still talking to Nagisa on which place will that be

Katsuko-nee seems to be promoting the plan she was talking about before.

Then, what would you do, Ruriko-san?

Yes?

Rurikos surprised.

Do you want to make contributions using Kouzuki-samas money?

Uhm

Youre a much more business-minded woman than Misuzu-san

Rurikos shocked.

I dont mind if the building we buy would have something other than a bakery and a flower shop

Does that mean?

Ruriko-sans the type that wants to do her own business than us who want to be nurtured by him, right?

Katsuko-nee laughs and looks into Rurikos eyes.

That might be

Ruriko admits.

Then, think about it, you dont need to do it now. Well, considering the preparation period and the refurbishment of the building, lets make the goal for about a year

Thank you very much

Ruriko bows her head.

Then, lets go to where everyone is

Ruriko said then went back to Agnes group.

That girls fundamentally ambitious. Shes a girl brimming with the intention of becoming the successor of Kouzuki house

Katsuko-nee said as she looks at Rurikos back.

Therefore, we have to make her do her own business she can practice. If not, shell suffocate

I see.

Rurikos a girl whos the most similar to Jii-chan.

Shell no longer worry about Kouzuki house, so its better to let her do what she wants

Ah, thats why

She was asking for my purpose.

Actually, Rurikos seeking her own future, not mine.

Our family, girls who become sex slaves become externally active, you see?

Mana said that she wants to become a supermodel.

Misuzu, my pet also said that shed go to Tokyo University and become a high-level bureaucrat.

Well, since shes a cheerful girl she wants to be bound in sex

Katsuko-nee said.

No, Katsuko-nee, I think Megu mentioned that she likes being bound

I answered.

Thats because Megumi-chans family oriented, so shes the type that wants to be bound as its different from usual. In her case, its better for her not to work outside and just stay inside the house

Katsuko-nees thinking of everyones future.

If were talking about staying in-house, Agnes will be there too. Shes basically an indoors girl. Thinking about her, sorry but, we would like you to stay home as much as possible

True.

Therefore, I would be making bread in the bakery?

Theres no problem if the house is in the same building as the store.

Also, it would be the best to have Agnes make bread with you once she becomes an adult but, thats too much to hope for

Katsuko-nee smiles wryly

Shes already thinking for ten years ahead.

That girls too cute, so, she could be a signboard-girl for the flower shop

Nagisa comes.

Nagisas shop signboard-girl is Mao-chan isnt she?

Not bad, two signboard-girls

Nagisa smiles

But, before that, in her case, theres a lot of things to consider such as family register and education

Katsuko-nee.

I guess lets make her a returnee child? Her face is foreign after all

No, Nagisa, Agnes can only speak Japanese

Ah, shes always been looked after by Shirasaka Sousukes nanny after meals.

Then we can just teach her a foreign language. Either way, we only have to teach her primary education

Agnes has never been to a school before.

Reading, writing, math, social studies

Shes twelve now. Shes going to a middle school next year, so why dont we have her fit with the ordinary girls?

Then, we have to teach her primary education, a suitable foreign language, and have her enroll as a returning child

Katsuko-nee said.

Theres no other way

Theres a lot of things to do.

Onii-chan! Mao-chan said she wants Onii-chan to wash her body!

Mana calls me.

Got it. Im going!

Its about time I get off.

Manas next!

Im next!

Mana and Nei raise their hands.

Im sure itll end up with everyone wanting me to wash their body

Geez, this is getting busy. Seriously
