Of course, everyone at school knew that I was about to leave the school after the recent loss of my father
Maki said.
There were a lot of people who saw me talking to Maki and taking her out today. Igarashi-san even came along with us
Marika testifies.
Marika and Maki live in a dorm, so the students see each other a lot.
Today’s Sunday, and Marika, Maki, and for some reason, Igarashi Izumi with bad makeup and leather jacket went out.
Of course, people won’t blame me for using Reika-oneesan as a connection and introducing Maki to the Kouzuki world cultural exchange center. Maki was in trouble, and they know that Maki’s got the talent to be chosen as a scholarship student
Marika’s right, Maki’s got excellent grades in her piano lessons.
Earlier, Kyouko-san even said that she met the criteria to become a scholarship student from the survey.
And so, many would be happy to have Maki as a scholarship student, so she could continue her studies. Many love Maki’s piano performance, and I think they’ll be happy to see that Maki didn’t give up on her dream halfway through, but.
Marika said.
She also has a lot of haters. Those will definitely get jealous that Maki got her scholarship. They’ll be mean to us out of jealousy, that they’ll say terrible things when we’re not around Indeed. With tuition and living expenses and all of Maki’s future musical activities backed by Kouzuki world cultural exchange center, it won’t be surprising that people would be jealous of it
Mariko mutters.
I see.
Apart from Maki, many girls in their music high school can be in some difficult economic circumstances.
The assistance we provide Maki goes beyond the normal scholarship programs.
They’ll be envious of that. That’s likely to cause some harassment
It was the same when I got introduced as Reika-oneesama’s relative
Marika?
Of course, I was happy about that. Before, it was just me and Mother. It was nice to hear that a lovely sister like Reika-oneesama tell everyone in school that I’m close to her and I’m thankful for that.
Marika lived alone with her mother, a former prostitute of the brothel, since childhood.
However, some of the students at school started following me around every day, telling me to let them see Reika-oneesama, or have her autograph something. On the other hand, there were some with clear malicious intent too Yes, I know. I’ve seen them too
Maki said.
But, I have to be resolute and have to brace myself, ready to deal with it. If I did something that would be the other girls laugh at me, then I’ll cause trouble for Reika-oneesama
Even if there are people causing annoyance to Marika, she doesn’t turn it into big trouble.
If that were to happen, Marika feels that it would tarnish the reputation of her relative, Rei-chan.
Marika’s piano has been feeling tensed up lately, so that’s what it was
Maki said, Marika;
Was it worse than before? No, it became better. The dignity, and elegance.Oh, I see!
Maki looked at Mariko and Ruriko.
It must be the influence of the sisters. Marika’s music has changed because you have a graceful family. If I did improve, then Maki will Yes, I think so. I will change. I’ll get better and better. I have to get better, if not.
Maki looked at me.
Then joining Kou-kun’s family would be for naught. I’ll have to use my piano skills to overwhelm and silence those who are jealous and harass me because I’m a scholarship student Me too. It can’t be just Maki who’s good at piano, I’ll have to improve or Maki will laugh at me. Minaho-san, Mariko-chan, Ruriko-chan, and everyone in the family, and Kou-kun.I can’t put them to shame I see, both Jasmine-chan and Maki-chan have a clear understanding of what it means to be a part of our family
Mariko laughed and said.
But.
I didn’t understand.
When Agnes went to school, I asked her to be in the same class as Luna, Koyomi-chan, and Karen.
That’s because I was afraid that Agnes would get bullied or isolated in class.
If there’s already a group with her from the start, then the bullying is less likely.
I thought of that. So.
I put Agnes and the girls in a group, and yet.
The daughters of the branch family of Mizushima house use the time when Karen isn’t with Agnes and Luna to bully Karen.
I’m going to the Mizushima house tomorrow with Karen because of that matter.
I’m already familiar with that example, and yet.
I didn’t consider Marika’s school life.
Oh, I’m starting to get it
Mariko smiled.
In short, Jasmine-chan and Maki-chan need her to be a pet so your school time goes well.
That girl, Igarashi Izumi.
Marika and Maki also need to create a strong group in the dorm where they usually live to prevent ordinary students from doing anything unnecessary.
Therefore.
But of course, that’s not the only reason. Igarashi-san’s a lovely girl, as you can see, and I have a great desire to pet and adore her like a pet together with Maki. But apart from that.
Hmm.
If Igarashi-san becomes our pet, then I think that our lives will become easier
Marika?
Easier?
In short, you brought Igarashi-san because you want to show me that wanted her to be your pet from the start?
Igarashi Izumi didn’t tag along with Marika and Maki today without asking for permission.
Marika made Igarashi Izumi follow her.
Yes
Marika smiled.
I.
Marika, how is Igarashi Izumi in school?
I asked Marika.
I don’t get why Marika wants Igarashi Izumi.
I don’t understand, and the person herself shouldn’t either.
She’s so bright and kind, she’s like Erica in our school
Erica.
Marika’s younger sister who she didn’t know exist until recently.
Erica’s attending the same school as Ruriko and the girls, and she’s called the star of middle school.
She’s loved by her seniors as a little sister, and respected by the juniors as an elder sister.
That’s because of Erica’s carefree and bright personality, and endless cuteness.
Marika’s true nature is of a perverted girl who loves lewd literature.
Erica’s enjoying a ton of perverted plays.
So Igarashi Izumi resembles Erica?
Igarashi’s treated as the flower in our school
Maki said.
She stands out a lot among the first-years, but they all love Igarashi-san Yes. She’s sensible and thoughtful, and she doesn’t rush, but, Igarashi-san isn’t a two-faced person, so they all love her. It’s fun watching her too
Marika and Maki’s commentary made Igarashi Izumi open her mouth dumbfoundedly.
Oh, I get it
Mariko?
Igarashi-san’s the idiot-cute type. We have those types in our school too
Idiot-cute?
I see. Thinking about it, that makeup of hers was funny
Mariko laughed.
I see.
When we met Igarashi Izumi who tagged along with Marika and the Matsumoto sisters for the first time earlier this afternoon.
Igarashi Izumi’s trying to show off like a delinquent, putting on such flashy makeup, and a black leather jacket.
That appearance was absurd.
Igarashi Izumi doesn’t look like a delinquent at all, she just looked like a young girl who forced herself to act tough, it didn’t look good on her.
However, the way she dressed ridiculously, and actin tough to put pressure on me was only to help out Maki, whom she had a crush on.
Looking at it from an objective view, that was just cute.
I may have misunderstood her.
That’s not all. Nii-san
Luna?
She read my thoughts.
Igarashi-san didn’t trust Marika-oneesan and Nii-san, she’s worried that Maki-neesan’s deceived by some scammers, and so she’s been treating Nii-san as an enemy, that’s why she was rude, right?
