Michi said.

Therefore, if you ask us, we’re going to erase all of her memories for the past few days. If we can’t do that, then the other option is her death. Besides, the fact that Tokuda Sonoko-san and Kurosawa Naoko-san is with us has to stay a top-secret, and so we have to erase her memories. It’s a necessity. Even if we have to force it to her Therefore, if we do what Torii-sama says and ask for Tendou-san’s agreement that we’re going to erase her memories, it will no longer be a highanded work, but that’s just torture

Minaho-neesan said.

Don’t you feel sorry for her? It’s much faster if we ignore her will, make a decision, and do it immediately uu

Torii-san groans.

Minaho-neesan looked at Sonoko.

This will be your last meeting, give her a good look. You’ll become a stranger to her soon

Sonoko-san looks at Tendou Otome.

Tendou Otome looks at Sonoko-san like a cat that is about to be abandoned.

She wants Sonoko-san’s embrace.

She wants her to speak kindly to her.

Otome-chan. Thank you for everything you’ve done so far

However, Sonoko-san.

Thank you for saying that you love me. But, I can only see Otome-chan as a friend. Ever since we met, today, and tomorrow

Tendou Otome’s eyes turn cloudy.

Goodbye. I’m sorry, that’s all I can say

Sonoko-san said and cried.

Kurosawa-san, do you have anything to say to Tendou-san?

Minaho-neesan calls out to Kurosawa-san, one of the subjects of Tendou Otome’s bullying.

Goodbye. I hated you all this time. You show favoritism on Tokuda-san, fill yourself up, and when the three girls were bullying me or her, you didn’t come to save us

Kurosawa-san speaks filled with spite.

You keep on saying that you saved Sonoko, but your father and his group raped Tokuda-san while you were gone. You never saved Tokuda-san

The last few words struck Tendou Otome.

You speak like you’re the boss and yet you can’t do anything, that’s what you are! Dammit!

Then.

That’s enough! You can stop now

Minaho-neesan said.

Then, Kou, can you ask Tsukiko-san to do it?

Minaho-neesan doesn’t give the order Tsukiko herself.

She thinks that I should be the one to manage Tsukiko’s Miko power.

Torii-san’s watching too.

No, I’m sure that Shou-neechan’s watching through the cameras too.

If the other scene happened, she’ll report to Jii-chan.

Miko power isn’t a property of the Kuromori house.

We have to be thorough to show that it’s used because of my relationship with the Takakura sisters

Yeah, Tsukiko

I turned to Tsukiko.

wait!

Torii-san speaks to me.

Shouldn’t she speak her goodbyes too?

Tendou Otome to Sonoko-san and Kurosawa-san?

Huh, why?

I asked.

I mean, won’t she regret it if she didn’t say her goodbye now? No, but Tendou Otome will forget all of it anyway

All the events so far and this moment.

But, even if she forgets it.

Torii-san looks at Sonoko-san.

Don’t you feel the same way? Don’t you feel bad that you can’t hear her voice, her goodbyes? You don’t like it? You’ll regret it, right?

Sonoko-san.

No.

She speaks mournfully.

That’s a lie! That can’t be!

Torii-san can’t agree with it.

What’s with this? Are you stupid?

Kurosawa-san glared at Torii-san.

You’re the one who feels that way, aren’t you? It’s not us! You’re just a spectator here! I’m!

Torii-san tries to retort but.

Okay, please go to sleep. Take a deep sleep

Tsukiko takes down Tendou Otome’s consciousness.

She gently closed her eyes and lose strength.

hey! Didn’t I say wait?

Torii-san tries to protest half-cryingly, but.

I’m sorry, but I’m only doing Kou-sama’s orders

Tsukiko smiled. She’s not dealing with her.

It takes time to remove memories and alter them and so I had her fall asleep. Once she wakes up, she will be different from who she was before

She needs to be meticulous and careful to make sure that it doesn’t break her soul.

Hey! Wake up! This is too much! That’s enough, shut up

I told Torii-san.

Not everything that you disagree on has a solution. Why do you not get it? Because!

Then.

Sonoko-san touched the unconscious Tendou Otome’s cheeks.

Actually, I like you too. Otome-chan. I mean that as a friend, but still, I like the self-confident, cheerful, and energetic Otome-chan. I. Huh?

Torii-san’s surprised.

Thank you for keeping me safe all this time. I really thank you

Sonoko-san’s tears drop on Tendou Otome’s face.

I did say that I hate her earlier, but not that much

Kurosawa-san mutters.

What the hell? What’s with you? Why did you not say that when she was still conscious?

Torii-san barks.

I.

They can say it because she’s unconscious! They couldn’t tell her. Why do you not get it?

I shouted back at Torii-san.

Sonoko-san, Kurosawa-san, and Minaho-neesan head to another room for more prostitution briefing.

Tendou Otome remains here.

Michi, Tsukiko, Torii-san, and I head to the room next door.

My power might be needed even in this room

Tsukiko said.

Right, we don’t know how Rie and Eri would react if they discover that their father died.

Therefore, Tsukiko’s coming with us and she just let Tendou Otome sleep.

Heading outside to the corridor, Kinoshita-san from Kouzuki SS is waiting for us.

Are you done here? Then let’s go to the next one

She’s cheerful and takes everything at her pace, that helps.

Michi’s always expressionless, Tsukiko’s always smiling.

And Torii-san’s in a gloomy mood right now.

Uhm, Kuromori-sama

While we head to the elevator hall.

Torii-san speaks to me with a displeased look.

What? Are you going to erase my memories in the end?

Oh, she’s angry.

Or do you intend to kill me?

Now then, what do I answer her?

Edie smoothens the conversation at times like this, but.

No wait, I’m relying too much on her.

I haven’t decided yet

I replied honestly.

If we erase Torii-san’s memories, Momoko-neechan will get really angry

Kaan Momoko-neechan knows about the Miko power.

She explicitly warned us not to use the Miko power on Torii-san, her protegee.

Even so, killing you will make her angrier That’s obvious!

Torii-san speaks angrily.

But, I discovered a lot of your secrets! I have to report all of them to Momoko-oneesama

Err.

Actually, I know what Misuzu and Ruriko’s thinking.

Misuzu and Ruriko want Torii-san to become my woman.

I mean, Kaan Momoko-neechan’s also a target.

Besides, the more I discover, the more I start to hate you all. You’re all sweet to your family but cold and cruel to others. I hate that

And she’s throwing her frustration towards me.

The right way is to be strict with your family and be kind to others! You’re all strange

I.

I accept that we’re strange but I think that Torii-san’s wrong What’s ‘wrong?’ They’re my allies, my family, and that’s why I’m gentle with them compared to other people. Why do I have to be cold with my family compared to others?

I don’t get it.

You know, if you use your common sense or morals, you’ll get it, right? No, Torii-san, your common sense might be different than mine

That one line annoyed her it seems.

Are you mocking me?

Then.

Kou-sama and Torii-sama’s concept of words differ
