But.
But, Izumi’s different from Yukino, right?
I don’t think the two are the same.
It seems like it, but it’s because Yukino’s too special for Darling
Edie said.
That’s why you’re being harsher to Izumi, who’s similar to Yukino. That’s how I see it
That’s.
Maybe Izumi-chan and Yukino-chan grew up in similar environments?
Nei speaks suddenly.
Yukino was born into a family that owns a TV station and newspaper publisher, growing up in a privileged environment, as her father’s an elite employee at a major advertising agency.
Izumi.
Oh.
I don’t know anything about Izumi’s family background.
All I know is that Izumi’s a singing student in the same school as Marika and Maki.
Also, she’s not on top of the class in the voice department, but that’s all.
Do we have any reports on Izumi?
I asked Minaho-neesan.
I’m sure that Minaho-neesan knew in advance from Marika that Izumi was coming along with the Matsumoto sisters yesterday.
Minaho-neesan would’ve done some research in advance about Izumi.
Of course
Minaho-neesan took out Izumi’s paper.
Then.
You finally got interested in Izumi-san
She looked at me and laughed.
I.
You’ve met too many people with varying personalities over the past six months. That’s why you’re getting a little numb now. So, you’re being lax in your judgment of someone you don’t perceive as dangerous
When I first met Izumi, she was a student in the same school as Marika.
I thought of Izumi as a normal music school student.
Izumi came in dressed as a delinquent and was very childish with her words and actions.
In short, I looked down on Izumi.
I think that you should be more greedy in knowing about people
Minaho-neesan speaks gently.
Since Izumi’s a person that doesn’t have two sides to her personality. You only see her as a dumb girl, right? So you didn’t care to know more than that and decided that’s all you needed to know Yeah. Seems like it
I admitted to my mistake.
Remember this, there are some really stupid people in the world, but even the stupidest actions of stupid people have some meaning and reason. That’s why you shouldn’t fail to try to get to know the people you’re involved with, no matter who they are. Don’t make your assumptions and neglect to make an effort on researching the people you’re dealing with Minaho-neesan’s words soak in my heart. Right. I was wrong. Sorry
I could’ve asked Minaho-neesan and she would’ve given me more information about Izumi last night.
Yet, I just didn’t try to know more about Izumi.
Then, I’ll tell you. Igarashi Izumi-san’s grandfather is a well-renowned orchestra conductor. Igarashi Hajime-san
Izumi’s face turned grave after hearing her Grandfather’s name.
Her father, Igarashi Kiyoshi-san, is an opera singer in Japan. Her mother, Igarashi Hidemi-san, was an opera singer in her youth. She’s currently a voice teacher at a music college. In short. Igarashi-san’s family is no stranger to the music world.
Minaho-neesan speaks while reading Izumi’s file.
Neither Marika nor Maki told me that
That Izumi’s family is famous in the music world.
Well yes. There are several kids whose families are like that in their school
Minaho-neesan smiled wryly.
Rather, it’s much rarer to find girls whose parents are not in the music business. There are daughters of musicians who are even more famous than Izumi-san’s family Oh, when a family has a child attending music school, it usually isn’t just the father and mother, but also their grandmother and grandfather, who had been musicians
Nei said.
Marika and Maki weren’t hiding the fact that Izumi’s grandfather and parents were musicians on purpose.
Or should I say that.
They didn’t ask Izumi, so they can’t tell me either.
Especially, Marika brought Izumi with the intention of turning her into a pet.
She consulted with Minaho-neesan, asking her for permission before doing so.
Marika didn’t speak unless I asked her.
If the information about Izumi’s family was of any use to us, Minaho-neesan would take that opportunity to tell me.
uhm, please don’t cause trouble to Grandfather or my parents. No, please nyan
Izumi looked at Minaho-neesan with a complex face.
I know. Your grandfather and parents are not in trouble
Minaho-neesan told Izumi.
I mean. Izumi-san’s been with Kou all morning so you should know how he acts, right? You know that Kou won’t do anything that would harm his family
Izumi saw me ride to Miki-san’s middle school.
I do anything for the family.
And, Izumi’s also a part of the family.
Although, she’s a pet.
You understand that, and isn’t that why you’re acting spoiled right now, asking Kou to let you go to school now That might be nyan
Izumi looked at me with a gloomy face.
I see. She’s not an airhead, she just thought that she could say something more lenient now.
That’s why she said that so suddenly.
Don’t worry about it. Izumi-san didn’t return to the dorm yesterday, and to school this morning, we’ll make up a valid reason on our side and tell the school about it. There’s no need to trouble Izumi-san’s grandfather and parents, and they won’t scold you either
Minaho-neesan said.
Izumi, do you still want to go back to school sooner after that?
I finally get what Izumi was thinking.
I was scared of Kou-kun-san last night and this morning so I didn’t get to say it. But, if possible, I want to go back to school sooner
Izumi said.
I’m afraid that not returning to the dorm and skipping classes would lead to strange rumors about me and it would put shame on my Grandfather’s and my parent’s names
Izumi’s afraid that not returning home last night and skipping class will be a problem.
Especially if her grandfather discovers it.
It’s okay. Your school is making a fuss about how Maki-san received a scholarship grant from the Kouzuki house. You’re supposed to be in shock and sick, you’ll get a doctor’s note too. I already talked to a Kouzuki-owned hospital through Kouzuki SS.
Minaho-neesan said.
Besides, if you go to school now, you’ll walk into the classroom in the middle of a lesson. Stay with Kou until noon and return to school in the afternoon as planned. That’s much more natural
Minaho-neesan can see Izumi’s concerns and took steps in advance.
Anyway. Please help me so my parents and Grandfather don’t worry nyan
Izumi bows her head to Minaho-neesan.
Izumi-san, you respect your parents and Grandfather from the bottom of your heart, right?
Minaho-neesan asks.
Yes, of course, nyan
Izumi replied with a confused look.
Izumi-san’s grandfather is also on the board of several music foundations. That’s why Izumi knew that now was not the time to be selected for a scholarship
That’s?
Minaho-neesan said. Nei;
Oh, so that’s why Izumi-chan thought that it was weird that Marika told Maki-chan and Miki-chan that she could get a scholarship from the Kouzuki house
I see. Nod.
This case all started with the Matsumoto sisters, whose father suddenly passed away, and they were at risk of not being able to continue their studies due to financial problems.
Then, Marika introduced me to the Matsumoto sisters, asking if they could get support.
Then, before I could make my move, Minaho-neesan and Ruriko were working to get the Matsumoto sisters a scholarship grant from Kouzuki cultural foundation.
But, that’s.
Normally, any scholarship organization won’t grant the Matsumoto sisters a scholarship in the middle of the year, when they’re in the process of selecting the recipients for the next academic year
Minaho-neesan’s right, the Matsumoto sisters aren’t getting the scholarship in the usual way.
