I keep discovering and finding new things that I have no choice but to pursue.

If I don’t keep on chasing then I won’t know anymore

I think.

Even though we have a relationship through sex, I think that it’s a good thing to always try to feel your partner directly

Katsuko-nee said.

That’s right, a real romance continues forever. Sex is nice to do but if you don’t keep your effort to understand then even love can be gone or change Katsuko-san, what does that mean?

Mana replies.

Inseparable relationship If people are together even idly, even when the love ends, an attachment is born

Attachment.

Now then, shall we enter to the main course, Mana-chan?

Katsuko-nee looks at Mana.

Do you like him? Love? Or infatuated? Or are you just feeling an obligation? Or is it just attachment?

Mana looks at me.

If you’re feeling only gratitude then leave him. It’s a troublesome attachment. It’s only a bother to the other girls I But on the other hand, if you love him, need him, then stay. You can drive away different things. Your blood relatives, fate, they’re all meaningless in front of love

Katsuko-nee looks at me this time.

You too, answer the same question. Do you love Mana-chan? Or do you just feel sorry for her? Or is it only attachment from having sex? Which is it?

I.

If you think naively like It’s like this so I can’t help it, or it’s like that so have no choice but to do this, you’ll regret it later. At worst, 10, 20 years from now, after you made a child, you’d think Oh, I should’ve done this back then Would you raise a child from a relationship of just attachment?

That’s.

That’ll only increase children like you!

That’s right.

My parents didn’t love each other.

That’s why they can’t love their own family.

My existence, their child, was just an eyesore for them.

Mana’s the same.

Shirasaka Sousuke and Mana’s mother don’t love each other.

Shirasaka Sousuke always womanizes outside.

Mana’s mother had an affair with the manager.

So, what is it you two?

Katsuko-nee asks us.

Chapter 514

Chapter 514. Mana’s determination 2

Now, give me your answer

Katsuko-nee pushes Mana and me.

I.

Mana.

What’s wrong? Make your decision now. You need to be fast here. If you have made your resolve, then there’s nothing to be afraid of. Now, hurry up and say it. If you don’t reach a conclusion here, later you’ll regret it forever. Now, think about it and make a judgment!

I can understand what Katsuko-nee’s saying.

I have to decide. I have to give an answer.

If not, it’ll be a lifetime of drag.

I’ll regret it.

Therefore.

i! I

But, I don’t know what to answer.

I don’t know what’s right!

Then.

Just kidding, you can’t make a conclusion as a makeshift. That’s what unscrupulous cults do

Katsuko-nee smiles.

WHAT?

Human behavior can’t quickly be decided logically. Also, you’ll notice your internal problems unexpectedly.

Err.

Because of that, humans often say excuse for what actions they make. Back then, that’s all the choice I had, There was no other way, Thinking about it now, there were worse situations than this, they all add those as a postscript. In short, I wasn’t mistaken, or I didn’t have any other options, they just want to guarantee themselves yeah. You see, whatever you chose right now, the result will change with the actions you take in the future. It’s important to choose, but it’s also important to know what to do after making that choice

Katsuko-nee said.

Mana-chan, staying here doesn’t equate abandoning Ichikawa-san and Yukino-san. On the other hand, coming back to Ichikawa-san’s house doesn’t cut off your bond with us. That is all depending on your actions in the future.

That’s indeed true.

In the end, it all depends on us.

No matter what we choose.

Then, in addition to that, in life, you’ll be involved in factors you can’t do anything about. For example, one of the two of you may fall ill to a sudden illness. This mansion may catch fire suddenly. Ojou-sama may fail at work, and we all get arrested. The situation is always flexible. Even if you make a choice, that might not still go that way I look at Mana.

Mana’s listening. Showing an earnest look.

Therefore, it’s just stupid to say This must be done, or It has to be this way. It’s nonsense. If you move with that idealistic reason, then you won’t be able to respond to reality. Just like people who have been mind-controlled by cults So, what should I do?

Mana speaks up.

I’m thinking so hard. Then, I made a conclusion You overthink so your head boils up, and your thoughts go to the worse one. Then, you ended up with a horrible argument

Katsuko-nee said.

Kouzuki-sama has said this before: What’s most important is the inspiration1, it has the power to feel the presence of danger

Inspiration senses danger?

You see, earlier, when you heard that Mana-chan’s going back to Ichikawa-san, what did you first think?

Katsuko-nee asks.

I thought that it’s bad, I have to stop her

I answered honestly.

Oh, why? Huh? Well, Ichikawa-san is Mana-chan’s grandfather. He might accept Mana-chan warmly, who knows? But still What we know about Ichikawa-san is only one part of him. Well, he may be trying to push Yukino-san to a mental hospital but that’s a problem of Yukino-san, he might be a kind grandfather for Mana-chan

That might be true but.

You don’t believe in things like blood relationship due to how you were raised but your house was a unique case, right? It might be okay to believe in blood relationship when it comes to Mana-chan. To be honest, even during the negotiation, he showed his sympathy to his granddaughters

Katsuko-nee looks at me.

But.

But, I thought that if Mana goes to Ichikawa-san, she’ll never be happy. That it’ll be a bad end for Mana

Katsuko-nee.

That’s your inspiration. You felt That’s dangerous Therefore, you thought of stopping Mana-chan, isn’t that right? yeah, I think so too

Mana looks at me,

Therefore, take care of that inspiration. Tell her only that sense of crisis. If you use some unneeded logic, then it’ll become ridiculous

Katsuko-nee looks at Mana this time.

Mana-chan, why do you think you have to go to Ichikawa-san’s house? That’s

Mana averts her gaze.

Because I’m a burden to Onii-chan. Besides, there’s Yukino-oneechan’s problem too Okay, both of them are just a reason after. It’s different from the first inspiration

Katsuko-nee says immediately after.

that’s!

Mana’s confused.

Then, why did you consult him when two were alone? Huh? If you seriously planned to leave the mansion, then you should’ve talked to Nagisa or me. Before talking to him

Katsuko-nee?

If you tell him then you know that he’ll ask you to not go, right? He won’t return Mana-chan back to Ichikawa-san

Huh?

Once he accepted someone in his family then he will pour all his love. You know that don’t’ you? He doesn’t like being abandoned by his family

I.

Even if he clings, he’ll hold onto Mana-chan. To him, Mana-chan is someone he can’t lose

Katsuko-nee’s words pierce my heart.

Yeah. I’m really disgusting. I’m so selfish, egoistic. I didn’t want to let Mana go

Not just Mana.

Everyone I love in my family.

Oh, it’s okay to be egoistic you know. On the other hand, the love you pour on your women is bottomless. Because you think you don’t want to be abandoned you are always earnest towards us, you never betray us. That is why we trust you and think it’s cute. We love you. There’s nothing improper about that
