Tendou Otome gives Sonoko-san an intense look from the floor.

Her voice is faint, but her eyes show light through Sonoko-san who has weak vitality.

Even so.

I can’t go with Otome-chan. After all, to me, it means that I yield to Otome-chan, that Otome-chan will control my life. Nothing’s changed. Not for Otome-chan, not for me. After all, Otome-chan ignores my feelings

Oh.

Yomi’s using her Miko power.

It’s not that Sonoko-san’s saying whatever Yomi wants her to say.

These are the thoughts Sonoko-san’s been keeping in her mind.

The emotions she couldn’t tell Tendou Otome, her friend.

She can speak honestly now.

It’s all thanks to the assistance of Miko power.

She learned this from Tsukiko earlier.

The technique to skillfully press the other party’s mind without hurting them nor putting too much pressure.

Besides, no matter where we go, we can’t live with just the two of us. Otome-chan and I can’t do it. After all, Otome-chan’s body is strong but your heart is weak. I can’t support the weak Otome-chan. It will only be painful to me So.no.ko.

Tendou Otome finally speaks.

She speaks in pain, in loneliness.

Otome, you were misunderstanding that you were protecting her

Edie said.

You thought that you’re protecting Sonoko and the other girls, but in fact, it’s your way to keep your own heart stable. In fact, you don’t protect them, and you don’t have any bond with them

Tendou Otome looked up at Sonoko-san in surprise.

Yes, you didn’t protect us. After all, Tendou Sadao’s comrades still raped me. Earlier, when Otome-chan said I lived through hell, I thought Huh? It’s Shigeyo-chan and me who lived through hell. Otome-chan doesn’t get it

Sonoko-san said.

I can’t forgive the girls who watched us in silence as the men raped us. I hate them all. Eri-chan and Rie-chan are still young so I can forgive them.I mean, those girls will become sex slaves, right? Then they’re forgiven. Naoko-chan will become a prostitute together with me so I forgive her. But, I won’t forgive the others. Those who raped us, those who watched, and father. I’ll never forgive him. They all got loose screws in their head and will die soon? Good. They all should just die!

Sonoko-san’s dark thoughts inside her blow out.

Ah.what.about.me?

Tendou Otome asks in desperation.

I’ll never forgive you either, Otome-chan. I hate you! I hated you all this time Otome-chan!

Saying that.

Hearing that would be harsh for Tendou Otome as she holds homosexual love towards Sonoko-san.

I hate everyone. Nobody came to save me! I hate everyone! But, saying that you hate everything won’t let you survive for the future

I said.

Even so, Sonoko-san. Tendou Otome’s one-sided kindness is some unwelcome favor but you still survived because she’s there, right?

Tendou Otome’s actions weren’t all in vain.

Tendou-san, whatever she does are all fruitless effort, but. She didn’t want you to get involved, and that’s why she invaded the Kouzuki house’s party alone

The first plan is for the daughters of Yakuza to attack the young ladies of nobility.

I don’t care about that

Sonoko-san turned her face away.

Oh, I see. Then, we’re going to put Tendou Otome now, you don’t mind it, do you?

I said.

Right now, she’s just a noisy girl with no use. She can’t even become a bodyguard since she lost to Haiji-san. Should we erase her memories and throw her out?

I looked at Yomi.

But, Sensei, if we erase Tendou Otome-san’s memories about Kouzuki house and us, then we will need to erase all her memories with Tokuda Sonoko-san. The reason why she is hostile to Kouzuki house is that she wants to save Tokuda-san

She replies.

This incident and Sonoko-san has carved deep in her mind. Therefore. If we’re erasing her memories of us, we need to erase her memories of Sonoko-san as well. Sonoko-san will become our prostitute. If Tendou Otome has some memories of Sonoko-san remaining inside her, she will desperately search for her, and that’s a problem

I said. Sonoko-san.

I don’t care if Otome-chan forgets me. It doesn’t matter to me So.no.ko

Tendou Otome makes a face similar to a person who received a death sentence.

It’s okay. We can make it so that we never met each other. It’s better if nothing happened between us

Sonoko-san whose mind is freed is quite extreme.

That’s not it

Edie?

Yes, memories of Tokuda-san in Tendou-san’s heart is carved deep inside, and it takes a big chunk

Yomi said.

If we remove all memories of Tokuda-san, Tendou-san’s ego will crumble It means that her mind will have a seismic shift and it will collapse in itself

That means, she’ll turn crazy?

You sure you want Otome to become like that? Do you mind?

Edie said. Sonoko-san.

i.

She looks at Tendou Otome with a pale expression.

Chapter 942. Night of Flirting To worry about death

dammit! L-Looking down on me

Tendou Otome grumbles in pain.

Her tears and snot haven’t stopped yet.

She’s lying down on the tatami mat while holding her side.

I’ll never forgive you all. you’re all looking down on me

Hearing her say that, Edie;

You’re the one who’s looking down on us

She speaks coldly.

You thought that you could win against Haiji, and so you accepted the fight. If it was me, you wouldn’t

Same thoughts.

Tendou Otome is that kind of woman.

You’re an unfair person. You won’t pick a fight with people you know you can’t win against. Thus, you pick on people weaker than you, and shadow behind those that are stronger than you i.

Nei speaks before Tendou Otome could object.

Right. Otome-chan is just like her father!

Otome’s father. Tendou Sadao.

Irresponsible and half-hearted, trying to flatter those stronger than him, and hurt those weaker than him. He’s a troublesome guy who causes nothing but annoyance i’m not like my father

Tendou Otome looked at Nei angrily.

I wonder? I think that you two are similar

I.

I don’t think that they’re that similar as Nei says they are.

I sense evil in Tendou Sadao’s actions and words.

Tendou Sadao’s core is an evil that’s beyond saving.

However, Otome.

She’s an idiot, she doesn’t care about other people’s emotions, but.

She’s not evil.

It’s not a welcome favor but her thoughts of wanting to help Sonoko-san and the other friends are genuine.

And Sonoko-san, you also are similar to your father

We’ve met Sonoko-san’s father too.

You’re timid, dragged by the situation, and as a result, even if people close to you experience cruelty, you don’t complain at all

Sonoko-san’s father let Tendou Sadao and his group gang-rape his daughter.

He couldn’t save her.

He’s given up from the start as he’s powerless.

As expected, one will always have a similar personality as their parent

Nei speaks loudly.

It’s fate

Edie?

There’s this scandal in America, a wealthy couple adopted a boy as they have yet to make a baby. The couple doesn’t know anything about the child’s former parents. The orphanage didn’t tell them anything either. The couple gave the boy a good education. His family background had no problems. The couple raised the child with affection, and everyone in their community gave testimony to that. However Edie said. That adopted boy entered high school, became violent, and committed crimes one after another. And in the end, he was arrested for killing a man
