what? My final judgment?
Yukino said. Minaho-neesan;
Oh, do you not get it? We have you in a trial all this time
Trial?
It’s about what should we do about Yukino-san in the future? Should she live? Or should we kill her?
Yukino trembles.
Minaho-oneechan, please wait!
Mana says on the monitor, but.
Mana-san, I appreciate your efforts, thanks to you, I understand what Yukino-san’s thinking
Does that mean?
We can’t keep her alive for long. Ruriko-san’s idea of making her a clown to make the media spin around was excellent but,
Huh, clown?
what? Isn’t my job as a clown just to make the ladies of Kouzuki house laugh?
Yukino shouts.
I thought so too.
Wrong, you really are an idiot
Sorry.
The media’s making a fuss about the incidents recently. The plan was to make Yukino-san work to quiet it down
Yukino’s face is already known by the public.
While at it, her naked body, and her sex videos too.
The plan was to have you interviewed in front of the media, never talking about the Kouzuki family and us and talk about the story we prepared, if you do that then Ruriko promises to let you live
Is that it?
Indeed, it’s unlikely for Yukino to dress like a clown and make jokes for Misuzu and Ruriko.
What now? Did you think that you’ll wear Kishima Kuroko’s dress and just follow Ruriko-san?
Minaho-neesan laughs.
I did!
Yukino.
Oh, I guess your idiocy has no limits
No, I also had my imagination close to that.
No matter how you look at it, Yukino(Kishima Kuroko) wearing a dress with yellow and black stripes was really funny during the fight at the hotel.
It felt like the god of laughter would come down for Yukino.
But, unfortunately, we can only dismiss Ruriko-san’s proposal
Minaho-neesan said with a smile.
We don’t know what Yukino-san would say right now. We’re afraid of exposing you to the media
Yukino only lives with her emotions at the moment.
Regardless of the situation in front of her, she’ll lose her self-control.
She might speak about Kuromori or Kouzuki house in the spur of the moment.
As expected, we have to bind Yukino-san and gag her then take her to the Green Mountain Studio
Green mountain studio.
It’s the grounds Kyouko-san chose for her battle with Kouzuki security service.
You will die there. Kyouko-san or Miss Cordelia will deal the final blow. Shirasaka Sousuke’s daughter will die in front of the media’s camera. Don’t you think that will be the best curtain fall to this series of scandals?
Yukino begins to tremble.
no! I don’t want to die! Your selfishness will do nothing. We gave you quite the fair judging. You were given a lot of chances What chances? He and Mana-san had a lot of time talking with you. Besides, you should know that I am watching
That’s right, we know that Minaho-neesan’s watching.
I needed to make the judgment on whether you can be used as a clown for the media or not. The answer is, impossible. We can’t let someone stupid like you portray the advanced role of a clown. That’s unfortunate
I.
Mana-san, please understand. I gave her a chance. Yukino-san didn’t make use of it. That’s all But
Mana looks at me.
You too
Minaho-neesan asks for my agreement.
I’m a member of a criminal organization, Kuromori.
For us to live peacefully in the future.
Yukino needs her mouth sealed.
As long as Yukino’s alive, she might talk to someone.
That’s already known.
She has to die.
But.
Can we not let her end up like Shirasaka Sousuke?
I said.
Make Yukino unable to speak, unable to write
Yukino’s startled.
What are you talking about?
Yukino saw the moment her father’s tongue and limbs were cut.
But, that’s better than dying isn’t it? This won’t end you with death, Yukino!
I shouted at Yukino.
Did you forget Shriasaka Sousuke’s end?
Minaho-neesan asks me.
If we let go of Yukino-san in the same state as Shirasaka Sousuke, Shirasaka clan will just kill her
Shirasaka Sousuke’s family is now a stain in Shirasaka clan.
If Yukino’s released in such a miserable state, then Shirasaka clan will dispose of Yukino who’s preyed on by the press.
Then, keep her confined
I.
There’s the basement Agnes was in before, right? How about we lock her there? We had that talk before, didn’t we?
Speaking of which, at the start of the holidays, I remember MInaho-neesan talking about confining Yukino.
Back then, Minaho-neesan looked very sad.
It’s probably because the basement already has Agnes and Minaho-neesan’s father confined in the basement.
But, will everyone tolerate that method now?
Minaho-neesan.
My women all have antipathy towards Yukino.
It’s inevitable. We had given Yukino-san so many opportunities to end things well. I don’t mind her hating Katsuko or me but, she should’ve made allied with Misuzu-san or Ruriko-san. The ladies of Kouzuki houses should have no grudge against Yukino-san
That’s right, we spend quite a lot of time.
She can rely on Mana-san or reconcile with Megumi. She could’ve asked for Shou-san or Reika-san’s protection. Even Kouzuki-sama, but Yukino-san never did anything by herself. She always waits for someone to reach out to her like a queen. Therefore, we gradually fed up being kind to you
Minaho-neesan said.
Why do we only feed you with such shabby meals? It seems that you didn’t receive any of our messages from that
Yukino’s forced to eat only umaibo and water.
You’re just a hopeless girl. There’s no value found in you
Minaho-neesan’s low voice echoes in the room.
i won’t forgive! I’ll never forgive you all!
Yukino who’s existence is denied, has her whole body trembling.
Her eyes are filled with tears.
We’re okay unforgiven. We’ll kill you soon. Then, I won’t remember you anymore
Minaho-neesan.
No, it’s not just me. Three months after you die, everyone will forget you. Shirasaka house will completely erase your father. The people you thought your friends will forget you. The police investigation will stop once we use our connections from behind the scenes. Therefore, nobody will remember you! Only your embarrassing videos released on the internet will remain for the next ten, twenty years. But, nobody will be interested in who you were, how you lived, how you died. You’ll remain as an unnamed performer on vulgar video Yukino is trembling as she cries. I will remember
I can’t forget.
Onee-chan, me too
Mana’s crying too
Don’t fuck with me!
Yukino glares at me.
I don’t want you to remember me! Yukino! I hate you! I hate you so much!
I.
But, I will remember Yukino’s scent, you feel, your weight, the taste of your sweat, your voice and tears, I’ll remember it I don’t care!
Yukino looks at me.
Do you not want to remember me? I want to forget everything about you!
Yukino.
That’s far enough!
Minaho-neesan said.
Well done. You’ve grown fine
Minaho-neesan smiles at me.
Huh, me?
I was giving you a test. You have worked so hard as a member of our criminal organization. That makes me happy. But, with that said, I was scared that you might kill your heart and be tainted with the thoughts of a member of a criminal group
The selfish way of thinking of a criminal.
You didn’t become someone who abandons Yukino-san and kill her only because there’s no other way
That’s right; if I think like a criminal, then I’ll have to cut off Yukino.
To protect me, this organization, my family.
You desperately thought of alternatives, so Yukino-san won’t die. Then, you keep on speaking them out even if you know they were impossible
