Tsukiko read my thoughts and replied.
Tendou Otome-san also puts herself as the standard
If she thinks that it’ll work on herself, she’ll do it.
Kou-sama, you think that others are much smarter, much skilled than you, correct? Yeah. That’s obvious
I’m quite dumb, I believe.
Tendou-san thinks that other people are below her
Tsukiko said.
She puts herself as the standard and thinks that everyone else is below her
Huh, why?
That’s why she hates Michi-san and Edie who is much stronger than her. She thinks that it’s unfair. In her world, she’s the strongest
That’s.
It’s not just about their strength. She sees Kou-sama and all the young ladies of nobility, those who lived in a blessed environment as unfair people. That she should be on the top Oh, a lot of people are like that recently
Torii-san said.
Therefore, she bullies the weak. And if she meets people who are above her, she gets angry because of her insecurity. She’s a problem child
She speaks as she looks down at her.
No, look, Torii-san.
You have that same insecurity too.
She’s not a real young lady because of her status as semi-nobility, but her attitude with those who aren’t from nobility is big-headed.
Kou-sama, people don’t notice it themselves
Tsukiko said.
You’re judging me yourselves! Do you think that you’re so great?
Tendou Otome’s body is paralyzed yet she continues to shout curses.
No we don’t, but we’re not going to attack our friends for whatever reason it may be
I replied.
Allies are allies. Those who betray trust aren’t allies at all. Yes. That’s right, Master
Michi said, then looked at Sonoko-san.
What do we do with this woman?
Sonoko-san looks at Tendou Otome collapsed on the floor with a pale face.
She’s listening to our conversation with Tendou Otome.
Otome-chan, you lied.
She speaks in a thin voice.
sonoko, i’m Quiet down
Tsukiko smiled and sealed Tendou Otome’s mouth with her power.
You kept on saying that you’re scared as you cling to me, it was just a lie
Sonoko-san looks down on Tendou Otome.
I think that she regressed to infancy yesterday
I said.
Yes. But it’s only this morning when she returned to her former state
Tsukiko reads.
But, you thought that it’s easier to regress to infancy and cling to Sonoko-san, right? You don’t need to stay away from Sonoko-san after all. You can take it easy feeling spoiled from Sonoko-san. Wait for our arrival and loosened caution, then escape together with Sonoko-san Correct
Tsukiko affirms my guess.
Michi, how did you know?
Michi noticed that Tendou Otome’s acting. That’s why she picked a fight.
You can see it if you look at her. A person who is afraid and confused won’t have that look in her eyes
Michi said.
Otome-chan fooled me
Sonoko-san said. Tendou Otome shakes her head, frantically denying it.
She can’t shake it that well since her neck and below are paralyzed.
You lied. You fooled me. You think of me as stupid, don’t you?
Sonoko-san.
Just so you know, I hugged Otome-chan last night, I’ve been thinking about you. Wondering what to do from now on. I was really scared. I was worried that Otome-chan might not come back, that you’ll have to rely on me forever, about what will happen to us
Tendou Otome looks away from Sonoko-san. She looks at the ceiling that has nothing.
Ah, she’s no good.
Why is she escaping the gaze of the other party?
Sonoko-san’s staring at Tendou Otome.
I will become a prostitute. There’s no other way out of this. My fate is tied there. I will endure five years, and I think that these people keep their word when it comes to contracts and business. They gave me time to think, and they don’t give orders without listening, they let me decide
Sonoko-san said. Tendou Otome looks at her in panic.
She shakes her head intensely.
They’re fooling you. Don’t trust them is what she’s trying to say.
I get what Otome-chan’s trying to say. But, sorry. But right now, I trust them more than Otome-chan.
Sonoko-san said. Tendou Otome hangs her head.
She looks back up the ceiling again.
Even if we’re together Otome-chan, I don’t think I’ll open up my life for you. Sorry, but I don’t want a life with Otome-chan anymore
And then, Sonoko-san.
Naoko-chan, I think you hate me, but we’re both going to become prostitutes. If we’re going to work together, we have to get along. It’s as you can see. Please get along with me
She bows her head to Kurosawa-san.
that’s, stop it. i’m the one who should ask for it
Kurosawa-san bows her head to Sonoko-san.
Then.
Oh, it looks like the situation’s better now
Minaho-neesan enters the room.
Oh, she’s been here since earlier.
She’s been eavesdropping the conversation and waited for this timing to enter.
It’s good that you two get along as fellow prostitutes. If you don’t help each other, it’ll only become hard for you
She goes inside as she speaks.
Later, I’ll be introducing another prostitute candidate to you girls
Minaho-neesan said.
Other than us?
Kurosawa-san asks.
Yes. That girl is a genuine young lady. Her family has collapsed, and so she has no choice but to become my prostitute, even though she’s a young lady. Don’t you feel sorry for them?
She laughs.
Wait, Kurama-san?
Torii-san speaks without thinking.
Right, Torii-san didn’t know the details.
It’s her first time talking to Minaho-neesan this way.
Oh, it has nothing to do with Torii-sama
Minaho-neesan purposely stirs her up.
But Kurama house is a noble family! Doing that to a daughter of nobility is. It doesn’t matter if they were a noble family, if they fall, it’s their end. Or does Torii-sama have enough assets to pay for the debts of Kurama house? That’s. Kouzuki-sama already gave his approval. Changes aren’t allowed anymore. Therefore, any more interference is futile
Minaho-neesan oppresses Torii-san with her cold smile.
Who are you?
Torii-san asks. Minaho-neesan;
I am Kuromori Minaho, Kou’s elder sister Yeah, my elder sister
I said.
As mentioned in the conversation, the other prostitute that you’ll work with will be Kurama Misato. She’s been a young lady until yesterday, but could you get along with her?
Minaho-neesan asks Kurosawa-san and Sonoko-san.
The two looked at each other.
We will. It doesn’t matter if she’s a former young lady. After all, it’s just her past
Kurosawa-san replies.
Me too, if she will live in the same environment as the two of us, then we will get along with her. The three of us will work together
Sonoko-san said.
Right. She will live together with you two for the contract period, so get along, okay?
Minaho-neesan said. Then she looked at me.
Now they’re prepared to accept it. Kou, the plans with Kurama-san is a ‘go,’ best regards
I see.
First, arrange the two prostitutes as friends then make Kurama-san fall.
Right, Kurama Misato-san who depends on her sister and weeps a lot will burst if she has no allies to rely on.
Speaking of which.
Kurama Misato-san’s name is the only one mentioned, but.
Torii-san asks before I could.
What about Kurama Arisu-san, the little sister?
Minaho-neesan;
We don’t use girls who are too young in our brothel. Arisu-san is 13 if I recall? Then, is she coming back to Kurama house?
Torii-san said. Minaho-neesan laughs.
No way. She will be a valuable item to earn money for Kurama house What does that mean? She will not become a prostitute. But, we will sell her as a sex slave
