Chapter 445. KOYANAGI

The van were riding drives through the sunny May city.

Agnes clings to me, looking out the window timidly.

Everything is a first-time sight for her.

On the other hand, Edies looking out of the window in a cheerful mood.

If she were a dog, her tail would be swaying left to right in a good mood.

Even though she came to Japan, she wasnt here to sightsee at all so seeing the city like this is fascinating she said

Ruriko translates what Edie said.

Miss Cordelia didnt take Edie to Japan to have a tour.

Well, Miss Cordelias been tense until the end of the fight in the hotel.

There was no time for it, I guess?

In the first place, this battle girl with brown skin, blue eyes and brown hair is very unpredictable unless you watch her over.

Edie-san seems to be interested in vending machines

Ruriko said.

I see shes looking at coffee and beer vending machines.

Huh, dont the US have drink vending machines too?

I asked in surprise.

It seems unlikely outdoors. Japans the only country that has vending machines all over the road

Reika speaks from the drivers seat.

Is that so?

Yes, if theres an automatic vending machine outdoors, itll be broken and have their money stolen from it

I see

Besides, selling alcohol is very strict in America. Selling alcohol in outdoor vending machines like that is impossible

Is that so?

Yes. In the US, youre arrested for just holding a bottle of liquor exposed outside. You must at least put it in a paper bag so it wont be seen

Reika speaks.

Before, there were a couple of men and women taking out a small bottle of wine and drank it on the spot in a beach but, thats not allowed in the US

You know a lot, Rei-chan

I smile at the eyes looking at the rear mirror.

No, thats things Ive learned from training with Kouzuki security service. We are sometimes sent abroad to guard various VIPs. Learning the difference in laws and culture on a country-by-country basis is trained strictly to us

Oh.

Now that shes driving the car, Reikas gotten a bit more stable.

Thats right. We must avoid getting into trouble due to the difference in customs of the country

Ruriko said.

Having Ruriko, the daughter of Kouzuki house in the car;

Reikas senses are leaning towards being the guard.

Dressed in her usual cross-dress, holding the steering wheel of the car.

Shes in a situation close to her usual work.

Ruriko was a good choice.

If it were Mana, shed firmly stimulate the Rei-chan.

The adult act of driving and her butting to retreat her to the toddler Reika, her minds balance would be even rougher.

Its holidays but, the roads less crowded than I thought.

Reika said.

Would the ocean be crowded too?

I dont think so. Its different when theres an aquarium or tourist facilities; I think that sandy beaches are less famous

She answers my question calmly

For the time being, its going well

Hm, hmmmmmm?!

I hear a strange voice from the back of the van.

Haa.

Is she awake?

What the hell is this?

Yukino shouts as she looks up the ceiling of the van.

Agnes clings to me scared.

Shut up Yukino!

What the hell is this!

As I said, shut up

Where is this?!

Dont talk!

Where do you intend to take me?!!

Yukino glares at me angrily.

The sea

Ruriko replied

S-Sea?!

Yukino opened her eyes wide?

Why the sea?

Hmm.

Edie-san said she wants to see the sea

Ruriko said smoothly

Then, Edie turns to Yukino.

She speaks in a low voice.

Err, she said Youre noisy, if you make too much noise then Ill break your neck bones

Ruriko translates. Yukino got startled.

She also knows Edies power from the fight at the hotel.

Anyway, were going to the beach. Yukinos coming too. Or rather, you cant get off the car now

I look at Yukino.

Even if you get off this car you have nowhere to go right?

Yukino cant go back to her home.

If she returns to old-man-Ichikawas house, shell be sent to a mental hospital.

I-I do, I have a place to go!

Yukino brags.

However, I dont have the money. I have almost no money left form what I borrowed from grandmothers wallet

Borrowed? You stole a thousand yen note.

Lend me money!

Yukino speaks like its obvious.

If I do, what would you do?

For the time being, I will eat. I havent eaten anything since last night

Ah, its just water and the Umaibo.

But, her personality really cant think of anything happening now.

Then, Ill give you only 3k yen

Just that?

Thats a lot of money already. I bought Ruriko for that price

What are you talking about?

Yukino looks at me dumbfoundedly.

Onii-sama is right. I was bought for three thousand yen

I bought Ruriko from Jii-chan for 3000 yen.

Nono, anyway, heres 3k. I dont need you though

I take out my wallet and pull out a three 1000 yen bills.

I have the money Minaho-neesan gave us before going to the hotel.

I dont know whats going to happen later.

Here

I throw the bills to Yukino.

Yukino hurriedly collects the three 1000 yen bills.

Then, stop around here, I want to eat something

Really, just how stupid her character is?

Despite all this, she still doesnt recognize her situation at all.

She just follows her momentary desires.

You sure about that?

Huh, why?

Shirasaka Yukinos a celebrity right now, you know? Theres not a lot of people in Japan who dont know you

Yukino gasps.

You were in the variety shows during the Golden Week, yesterday Yukinos a prominent feature there too

The television broadcasted Yukino returning to Ichikawa-san, then her words raped and do you intend to rape me too? left a mystery.

Afterward, Minaho-neesan leaked all of Yukinos rape videos to the internet.

The people no longer sympathize Yukino.

Its all your fault! Ill never forgive you!

Are her thoughts still looping?

No, I dont care if you dont but, its impossible for you to walk around outside you know?

She came to the mansion wearing sunglasses and a mask but;

If she eats outside, she has to remove the mask.

Uuuuuuu!

No, even if you groan, Yukino.

Uhm, Margo-san prepared a disguise-set just in case, but;

Reika speaks from the drivers seat.

Huh, is there?

Yes, there should be three paper bags behind the seat. She mentioned wearing whichever of the three is preferred

Is that included in the instructions Margo-san has written?

Hah, this?

Yukino quickly discovers the bags.

Theres Tom, Jerry, and Kon, written on the paper bags.

Yukino peeks into the bags,

She leaks a big sigh.

Ill take Tom

Then

Im going to change so dont look over here! Dont peek!

Err.

Onii-sama

Ruriko opens up the boiler suit shes wearing.

Her cute breasts covered with a black micro bikini appears.

Yukino-san seems not to like it, so please look at my skin for a while.

Ruriko smiles

Next, to her, Edie compares with her breasts.

She lowers the zipper of the boiler suit then opens up her chest.

The sports bra stands out on her brown skin.

Edie smile at Ruriko.

Then, she said something.

What did she say

She mentioned, Rurikos a good match

Then, the brown American girl speaks loudly.

This is the only one I surpass Michi

If Michi heard that youre half-dead, Edie,

Does anyone have a mirror?

Yukino said from behind.

Youre done changing?

Huh? Well, for now,

I turned to Yukino

Whats with that face?

Err.

I have no choice! These clothes are still human clothing, but the others are different

Yukino is wearing a navy blue security guard uniform

But, for some reason, the outfit, sleeves, and even the pants are just seven-length long. Therefore, her arms and knees are exposed.

Also, shes wearing an afro wig for some reason.

Its a huge afro hair thats like a birds nest.

Then, shes wearing the sunglasses she had last night.

Hmm.

A funny sized security guard uniform + huge afro + sunglasses.

Its like comedian contestant no matter how you look at it.

Well, thats fine, nobody would think me as Shirasaka Yukino.

Yukino says as she looks at herself in the rear mirror.

True, youre undoubtedly right.

But this enigmatic positive thinking ability makes me jealous.

By the way, whats inside the other bags?

I asked;

That, Jerry is just a rats costume. Are they idiots? Its not a comedy program so theres no way Id dress like that!

No, your current look is just the same. Yukino.

Kon is just four packs of canned corn. What kind of joke is this?

I dont know either.

Margo-san didnt come up anything other than Tom and Con

Reika speaks from the drivers seat.

By the way, why does this not have any shoes?!

Yukino speaks in ill-humor.

Oh right. I have to buy Agnes shoes.

I look at Agnes in my arms.

Speaking of which, I was curious about her a while ago but, whos that? A foreigner?

Oh, this is Yukinos first meeting with Agnes.

Shes my daughter!

Agnes stares at me.

Dont be ridiculous! Youre still in first-year high school!

I made her my daughter

Agnes smiles at me.

P-Papaa

Yes, Agnes?

Her small hand holds my arm rightly.

Anyway, were going to buy shoes before going to the sea

I tell Reika.

Can we go to a shopping center somewhere?

No, lets not go to crowds

I think its still impossible for Agnes.

We can just buy from an average shoe store. Lets park if you find one

Reika found a clothes store for workers and artisans instead of a shoe store.

There are no customers since its holiday.

This is the only shop we can find on national highways with few people.

Reika bows her head.

We have no choice, lets check it for now

Even this kind of shop should have shoes Agnes can wear.

Were not buying stylish shoes for now.

Reika parks the car at the work clothes store parking lot.

Okay, lets go

We get off the car.

Hm?

Yukino, you wont escape?

Huh, why?

Yukino said while stretching herself.

No look

You were right earlier. I have no place to go

So thats why youre staying with me?

For now. For now

Yukino tells me

I have no choice! I dont know what I should do ahead of this!

I leak a sigh.

Ichikawa Ojii-sama seems to be hanging up a lot of calls from gravure magazines on whether I want to be exhibiting my naked body. If I wish to be an AV actress, or if I want to appear in strip clubs

But, youre just 16, arent you?

Looking at my videos you leaked, some people misunderstood that Im over 18 years old already

Oh.

Some guys just ended up with the videos and never checked with her information.

Ichikawa-ojiisama is from an advertising company, so he has contacts in the entertainment industry. They want to dramatize what happened, and they want me to cast as the person herself

Seriously?

Theyll faithfully reproduce the rape scenes. Ah, its not a TV drama. V Cinema is said to have the project proposal passed already. Theyre making a fool of me

Yukino snorts her nose.

Other than that, they asked me to speak to in television; Anyway, lets hold a press conference, and answer clearly who did what to you in front of a camera. Thats the interest of the public Since its from a variety show of Moritsugu-ojiisamas TV station, theyre laughing

A lot happened.

Shirasaka houses television station overthrown Shirasaka Moritsugu, and theyre going around calling Shirasaka house.

Up until now, theres only one company that defended Shirasaka Sousuke.

They have no choice but to beat them up to show an image that theyve outgrown Shirasaka houses domination.

The source of the problem, Shirasaka Sousuke is still missing.

Therefore, they gathered their attention to Yukino where they know where she stays.

After that, a major production of comedian enthusiasts offered me to debut as a lewd high school girl on a variety show and talk nothing but sex. I dont get it, but they mentioned that I have a talent for comedy

I think theyre right

Everyones making fun of me

No, if you say that now;

You cant convince anyone, Yukino

Those calls keep on coming that Ichikawa-ojiisama has gotten crazy

Old man Ichikawa tried to push Yukino to a mental hospital

To think that they were cornered enough that they cant protect their family honor.

Well, fine, anyway, for now, Im here

Yukio who said that then she heads to the store while wearing W.C. slippers she stole from Ichikawa house.

Should we go too?

Its an unusual shop. It smells like rubber

Ruriko said

Oh, its because its a clothing store for workers, like carpenters or something. Look, theres plenty of tools on that wall over there, right?

Ruriko looks inside the shop interestingly.

Well, Ruriko wont enter this kind of store

Kouzuki houses daughter wont go to this kind of shop.

In the first place, Ive never gone to buy clothes or shoes at stores

Huh?

I mostly look at the catalog, then the departments out-of-store sales department bring it

Hmm

I dont exactly know what the out-of-store sales department is.

Anyway, shes shopping with a different rule from ordinary people.

Ah, Onii-sama, this way please

Ruriko calls me

Looking at her,

Fortunately, there are little childrens sandals in the store.

Its not a workers clothes shop entirely.

That said, there are only cheap vinyl sandals and four kinds of anime printed beach sandals

Perhaps, a father who buys work clothes might buy a souvenir for their child.

But.

No good, its too childish, or instead, its too small for Agnes

Though Im carrying her in my arms, Agnes is already 12.

This sandal is too small.

Then, those are adult shoes and sandals

I face the direction Ruriko told me.

Oh, theres not just safety shoes, there are also standard exercise shoes.

All of them have a design one step behind than a regular sneaker.

My designated sports shoes in middle school were like this.

I think that its better to choose sandals instead of shoes

Reika said

She never wore shoes, and since shes a half-foreign, so the shape of her shoes is different from the Japanese. I think that a proper shoe fitter must do her first shoes

I see.

Besides, its her first shoes

Ruriko smiles at me.

In the west, the first shoes of a child is essential

I see. Agnes doesnt have an event like that at all.

Then, lets go with sandals

But, work-related sandals are all dull.

Well, Ive got no choice.

Agnes, which do you like

I ask Agnes in my arms.

?!

Agnes, you can decide it. Its your sandal after all

I smile at her.

From now on, Agnes will choose anything by herself

Agnes looks confused

Thats not right, Onii-sama

Ruriko?

Please dont speak in that manner, make it easier for Agnes to understand

Ruriko picks out sandals from the womens shelf.

Then, she returns the ones that arent good.

The remaining candidates are four sandals.

Agnes-san, which do you like among these sandals?

Ruriko asks.

Which of these sandals do you like to wear?

Agnes;

That, pink, desuno

Okay, this one

Oh, I see.

If I say choose, shes forced.

Thats why Ruriko asked Agnes Which do you like? and which do you want to wear.

I still have ways to go.

Then, Ill buy this, okay?

Yes

Ruriko picks up the pink sandal instead of me who carry Agnes.

Yeah, though this is a work use, it may be cute if Agnes wears it

Then.

Shes holding a yellow basket from the shop, filled with Japanese style design towels, and T-shirts with 1 printed on it

Edie comes close.

Her eyes are glittering.

You want that?

Edie nods.

Shit, theres a lot of goods in this shop that flicked this American girls heartstrings.

No, look

I expect that all of this would cost more than 10k yen.

Its not an amount I cant pay with my money, but;

While I was hesitating;

, , ,

Edie points to each towel then names the women that arent here.

You want to give them souvenirs?

Ruriko translates what I said.

Edie nods.

If thats the case, then I dont have a choice.

Then, just the towels. No T-shirts. These are for men

Edie sighs but she agreed.

Also, pick one for Kyouko-san and Miss Cordelias group

Edie shows a reluctant face.

Or rather, if you forget them, youre going to get punished

Edies body trembled.

She goes to pick more.

Ill pick for Minaho-neesan

Yes, Onii-sama

You choose for Agnes and Rei-chan

Yes

Or rather, lets buy mine too

Instead of souvenirs, its better to buy for everyone.

We go to the towel corner.

Ah, is this okay?

Then.

Edie comes running again.

Lightly, excitedly.

Whats wrong?

Edie-san mentioned that she found Ninja shoes, so she wants to buy it

Ninja shoes?

Its leather soled sandals

Reika said.

Oh, right, it definitely looks like ninja shoes.

I almost wondered what to do if its work tabi

Reika felt relieved.

Well, leather-soled sandals are okay

Got it. Ill buy that

Edies happy

Onii-sama, may I talk?

Ruriko asks.

I want to wear the same shoes as Edie-san

Oh, I guess thats also an excellent way to deepen friendship with Edie.

Then, Ill buy one for me too. Rei-chan too

Its not that expensive.

I will buy not just Agnes sandals but also everyones goods.

Its much better.

Hey, give me 18k yen

Yukino suddenly comes

This shop only has that shoes I can put on

You

Earlier, I gave you 3k yen. Use that to buy your shoes

I reject with all my soul

I cant walk with decent shoes with that!

Say that when you wear a decent dress.
