Ruriko, the daughter of the Kouzuki house, forced them to become scholarship students of the Kouzuki cultural foundation.

And so, Izumi-san thought that what Marika-chan’s telling Maki-chan was suspicious, that’s why she dressed up like a delinquent and was forced to come with them

If Nei’s conjecture is correct, then.

Izumi was sure that we must be trying to trick Maki and Miki from the start.

That’s why she was trying to break the conversation no matter what.

In short, the delinquent look was forced, but.

Her reasoning was right.

Maybe, Izumi-chan was planning to ask her grandfather to give Maki-chan and Miki-chan a scholarship grant from some music foundation, right?

Nei asks.

I couldn’t make that request nyan. Grandfather is indeed on the board, but he’s not a scholarship judge nyan, but still

Izumi;

I’ve been meaning to ask if Maki-oneesama or Miki-san could apply for next year’s scholarship. nyan

She even thought that far.

Izumi isn’t dumb like I thought.

She’s a little instinctive, but she has some reasons for her actions.

Of course, I know that it’s better for Maki and Miki if they could be scholarship students of a big foundation like the Kouzuki world cultural exchange center nyan. It also means that they can get to know the daughter of the Kouzuki house and Torii house

Izumi understands.

She could figure that out, and yet.

Why was I so set on thinking that Izumi was a selfish and dumb girl?

Listen carefully, Kou. You need to understand it now

Minaho-neesan looked at me.

I told you earlier that Izumi-san’s grandfather holds a special position in the world of music.

Yes.

If I recall, he’s a world-renowned orchestra conductor.

It’s not uncommon for children or grandchildren of someone in a special position to follow the footsteps of the older

I heard that Izumi’s father followed her grandfather and became an opera singer.

Izumi, who was born to opera singer parents, is learning vocals in a music high school.

Those who rose to a special position in their field know from their own experience what kind of education to give to their children or grandchildren, and can provide the best environment for them to learn. They have contacts and connections within that field, at what age, where, which teachers, and what the child should study? They can successfully guide their children and grandchildren into the same world they’re in Izumi’s listening to Minaho-neesan with a depressed look. But you know, it’s hard for a child raised by parents who are top-notch in those particular fields to become top-notch in those worlds as their parents and grandparents. It’s only a rare case

Huh?

Of course, if they received a specialized education since childhood, then they’ll become a professional in that field. But, at best, they become first-rate, but most usually end up at second or third at best. It’s rare for someone to become first-class professional like their parents True, in sports, many children of famous athletes who become professionals aren’t as successful as their parents. On the other hand, children whose parents were second or third-rate professionals, have become great athletes

Nei said.

That analogy makes sense.

Indeed, there are often second-generation athletes, but I think it’s rare for the children of the top athletes to achieve the same level of greatness as their parents.

Why do you think it’s that way?

Minaho-neesan asks me.

They were given the best environment for everything from a young age. So, why can’t the child grow on the same level as the parent?

That’s.

Is it because the parents provided it?

I replied.

Are you saying that if everything’s provided for them, they won’t learn how to take things on their own?

Minaho-neesan;

I think so too

She smiled.

A top-class parent would think that the child would need a professional before the child seeks it. But even if it’s all the right stuff, the child will just keep accepting and digesting the massive amount of stuff the parents keep giving them all the time. They’re so preoccupied that they don’t develop the ability to think about what they need, to search for it, and to gain it by themselves The environment given by the parents is too good that the person can’t digest them all Even so, if the child is an adolescent and rebels against their parents, they can be critical of what they try to give to the child, trying to take care of themselves to be independent, but if the parents were too great and the child has deep-seated respect, then they’ll accept everything and anything they do for them without criticism Minaho-neesan continued. Those kids would have weaker judgment when they need to think for themselves. It’s because they accept whatever their parents judged as necessary for them without question. They don’t develop the skills to think for themselves, with what to do about what’s happening in front of them

They just do whatever their parents tell them to do, becoming too dependent.

Izumi-san’s like that, don’t you think?

Minaho-neesan said. We looked at Izumi.

I think Izumi’s personality became like that because of her Grandfather and parents. Izumi-san just unconditionally accepts whatever her Grandfather and parents tell her to do. She doesn’t think much about the reason, and just accepts it as it is. If not, she can’t deal with the barrage of things her parents and her grandfather want to give her If her parents tell her to do this, do that, she’ll do it without thinking much.

If she thinks about it every step of the way, she won’t be able to digest it all, so she just swallows.

That personality started in childhood, through her studies in music.

And now, Maki-san is just as important as her parents are to Izumi-san

Izumi feels admiration for Maki.

So, she accepts what Maki-san tells her as much as her parents, and if she thinks that it’s for Maki-san, then she’ll also accept whatever Marika or you tell her, no matter what it is

Maki’s the precious one for Izumi. She only accepts Marika and me through Maki.

Earlier Tsukiko-san mentioned that Izumi reacts in detail to what’s happening and what people are saying and doing. She analyzes it in her own way, unable to act by herself. It’s because she’s always done what her Grandfather and parents told her to do that she never had the experience of thinking for herself, and doing something on her own Izumi looks down and trembles. Furthermore, Izumi-san doesn’t want the people around her to hate her. She fears rejection. It’s a common trait for children raised under the control of very influential parents. They don’t want their parents to hate them, so they just do what their parents tell them to do with a bright face. That also applies to other people. So, they make it a top priority to act in a way so others don’t hate her, looking like they don’t think, that they’re a frivolous person So that’s why Izumi keeps talking with nyan at the end of her sentence. She doesn’t want to get hated, so she follows as she’s told

Edie said.

Yes, doing something that silly is also just so she doesn’t get hated. Izumi-san, didn’t you just accept everything we told you no matter what?

Minaho-neesan’s right, Izumi;

She just accepted being Maki and Marika’s pet right away.

She even gave her virginity to me.

That wasn’t because Izumi is dumb, or that she was not thinking.

But, she lived a life without having to make her own decisions, and she was afraid of being rejected by others.

Now, what’s most important for Izumi is Maki or me not hating her, so she’s desperately trying to keep going with nyan nyan

Izumi-san will remain inferior if this continues. With her Grandfather and parents backing her, she might be able to become a professional vocalist or opera singer, but won’t reach the top class. She’ll become a second-rate opera singer at best, or through her Grandfather or Parent’s connections, she’ll become a teacher at some music school, or work in some music-related job, but still Minaho-neesan said. Izumi listens in silence. Well then, I’ve been talking about what I think about Izumi-san for a while now, but what were your thoughts? About your current state
