Now then, what else will you do, Kou?

Minaho-neesan asks me.

You heard what Sonoko-san wants, but you don’t need to do that

Huh?

What do you want to do with her?

Minaho-neesan?

hey! Are you going to take back your word?

Tendou Otome shouts.

Shut up. Tsukiko-san, could you shut her up for a while? She can listen to our conversation however Hey! Wait! Hey! Quiet!

Tsukiko controls Tendou Otome’s body.

Now that it’s quiet, you can answer me now. What do you want to do with her? What do I want to do? I thought we’re going to erase her memories and turn her to our prostitute? You’re the one to decide if you want that to happen or not

I.

That’s right. You already know how dark the emotions are inside Tokuda Sonoko’s mind, don’t you?

I know, but.

Do you think it’s beneficial for our business to remove her memories and have her work for us? I’m not asking about the good or evil. Decide using loss and gain thinking

I look at Sonoko-san’s face.

Looking at her this way, she has a cute appearance, but.

Tsukiko, can I ask you something?

I ask Tsukiko, who’s still altering Shigeyo-san’s memories.

She’s still controlling Tendou Otome and is stopping the consciousness of Kurosawa-san and the twins while altering Shigeyo-san’s mind

Tsukiko’s Miko power is the strongest among the sisters, and the most accurate.

Yes, as long as it doesn’t surprise me

Yeah, I have to avoid asking questions that will dampen her concentration.

I want to ask honestly. If we erase all of her memories, will the darkness in Sonoko-san’s heart disappear? No, it will not

Tsukiko replied, Tendou Otome’s startled.

Once your spirit is wounded, it will leave stress in your body. If we erase her memories, then she will only forget the cause for the wound in her heart, and the stress in her body will not disappear

That means.

Perhaps, she will accumulate an impulse without knowing the reason why

Impulse?

She doesn’t know why, and yet, she starts crying, screaming, yelling at someone, and sooner or later, explode with her emotions And if it’s pointed at others, that impulse will be to attack someone, but if it’s towards herself, then she might resort to self-harm

She will hurt her body.

Then, erasing all her memories isn’t the way to save Sonoko-san’s heart? Yes, Kou-sama

Tendou Otome’s eyes glare at Tsukiko filled with hatred,

Therefore.

Then, what’s your proposal? You must have some motive, don’t you?

Tsukiko, Minaho-neesan, and Edie will not make all these recommendations without reason.

If we didn’t say that at that moment, then her heart may not be able to handle it

Tsukiko said.

She really is a weak-willed girl. When Kurosawa-san decided to become a prostitute, she rushed and want to jump in, but in reality, she’s not ready for it

Nei?

For someone who has no place to go, she wants to guarantee a place to stay

Edie said.

If she can’t find a place to go to, then she thought of selling her body for the sake of it. That’s the reason why she asked Minaho. Although, her heart isn’t ready for it That’s not all. Wait, Edie-san and Nei already get it? If you know, why didn’t you tell Kou?

Minaho-neesan.

Well, it’s hard to talk like that We thought that Darling would notice it himself

What?

Sonoko-san has a reason why she’s panicking to find a place to stay for the future at all costs

Tsukiko said.

The repeated reason and results in her mind are different

Oh.

I get it.

I look at Tendou Otome.

Sonoko-san wants to get away from Tendou Otome-san no matter what

Tendou Otome makes a ? face.

She can’t speak right now.

She knows that if things remain as they were, she will rely on Tendou Otome-san and live with her, and so she wants to have a place to go to and earn money, even if it’s a brothel That’s right. It just happened that Minaho talked about her brothel, and so she jumped into it without thinking, but it doesn’t matter which it is for her

Sonoko-san prioritizes becoming independent from Tendou Otome moving forward, and so.

Thus, she will jump on any reason as long as she can part from Otome, be it going at the bottom of the ocean for an expedition or breaking the new grounds on Mars

She doesn’t care about the details of the job, she will accept it as long she can part from Otome.

That doesn’t mean that she has a resolve to become a prostitute

She only jumped into the suggestion, but she hasn’t fully accepted the severity of the life of selling one’s body.

But, why does she want to leave Tendou-san that much?

I asked. Tendou Otome looks down feeling pitiful.

It’s not because she’s finding Tendou-san trying to woo her as unpleasant, is it? Hmm, I think that’s 30% of it. Tendou-san’s love is a bit too high-pressure

Nei said.

But, she hates becoming Tendou-san’s burden more than anything

Burden?

Look, Tendou-san is somewhat strong, and she also has a lot of vitality, and so she can survive wherever she goes

I think so too.

Tendou Otome’s vitality is similar to the three girls lying down over there.

She also has thick nerves.

Wherever she goes to Japan, she can beat people up and rise up.

Tokuda-san knows that Tendou-san loves her, and she also knows that Tendou-san will do any job, no matter how dangerous it is, for her sake

If these two lived together.

That’s why, Sonoko-san feels sorry that Tendou-san does that for her sake, and that’s why she wants to get away from her

I said. Tendou Otome makes a face of sudden realization.

Hmm, that’s not the whole point

Nei smiles wryly.

It’s complex

Edie?

You see, this girl has an inferiority complex towards Otome

She says while looking at the unconscious Sonoko-san.

She’s envious of her as she’s strong enough to survive. And she hates herself for being weak as the men raped her. That’s why she’s in pain, and she hates herself

That’s.

She knows that Otome wants to live together with her. But, if she does that, she will continue her life comparing her weak self to the strong Otome. It must be painful for her. She doesn’t want that to happen. She can’t endure that

Hearing what Edie says, Tendou Otome starts trembling.

Otome, you don’t stand at the same level as her. This girl wants to be on the same level as you. It’s painful to her that she has to keep looking up to you. It lets her see how weak she is

Nei followed.

Earlier, when she’s talking about herself, even when the topic is about the Yakuza that raped her, it still shows her insecurity towards Tendou-san. She thinks that Tendou-san is strong, and so she won’t experience the same thing as her

She’s the daughter of the leader of the group, Tendou Sadao, and since Tendou Otome knows martial arts, other Yakuza will not come after her.

They’re people who will not take even a small risk.

And since Tokuda-san is like that, her choice of becoming a prostitute means turning her negative experience to a positive one

What does that mean?

If she’s raped so many times.She thought that she can’t become anything but a prostitute, she also thinks that the strong Tendou-san will not become a prostitute. If that’s the case, she can overlap her life with Tendou-san, or so she thinks

Tendou Otome will not say that she wants to become a prostitute just to chase after Sonoko-san.

Besides, Minaho-neesan sensed that she can’t persuade Tendou Otome to become one.

Then, as for the erasing her memory talk. What she wants to forget the most is Otome Yes. She wants to remove Tendou-san more than all the painful experience she had in her head She’s someone she feels extreme insecurity from, and she hated that she courts her
