Minaho-neesan just checks the monitor, she’s not looking at me.
Sorry.I don’t get that
I don’t have any brothers.
I don’t have any experience on family mingling either.
Oh right.then make it easy to understand.Katsuko!
Minaho-neesan called Katsuko-nee’s name lightly!
Yes, Ojou-sama!
Katsuko-nee who should be sleeping raises her body.
You.since when you were awake?
Since the start.I was worried what will Nei-sama tell him.
.Eh?
.Katsuko-nee has always been awake?
But.why did you pretend to be asleep?
It doesn’t matter if she’s awake and participated in the talk.
Well you see.I thought that it would be better for Nei-sama to talk in that situation when I’m asleep!
.Katsuko-nee?
Margo-sama would be enough for the role ofElder sister.Margo-sama and Nei-sama has been together in their past experience for a long time aren’t they? In this case, I thought that Nei-sama will be able to talk to the end without her feelings exploding because Margo-sama is here!
.I see
Margo-san has seen Kei-san’s death scene so Nei-san was able to talk about it calmly until the end.
When I wake up at that time.Nei-sama will surely stop talking. In the end.Nei-sama wanted only you to listen to that story
.only me?
You don’t get it? Cesario Viola came to Japan for just Nei-sama.it’s a situation where we had to confront them. We act and think that it’s natural to protect Nei-sama but Nei-sama herself is is in pain
.Un Therefore.she told you only.why Viola was supposed to be chasing her Why.just me?
Isn’t it okay to tell Megu or Mana?
She doesn’t want to tell anyone her thoughts about her deceased brother but only you
.About Kei-san?
Katsuko-nee smiled.
You still don’t understand it?It can’t be helped. You’re a child who doesn’t have a first love yet!
.First love?
Nei-sama really likes you. Therefore.she wanted you to know the sad memories hidden in the deepest part of her heart
Nei-san likes me?
.No way
Then.what is my existence?
Michi makes a dumbfounded face.
Kudou-san, you were used as a pretext for the subject. You’re not a member ofKuromori.so even if you hear it, she thought it’ll be okay. Above all, you’re a child that knows the underworld aren’t you? You have thetoleranceto listen to a scary story?
Minaho-neesan said.
I noticed from those words. It wasn’t only Katsuko-nee who’s pretending to be asleep while listening to the story.
Minaho-neesan has been listening up in the stairs all this time?
That’s right. If I appear.then Nei will stop talking. It was a very good chance this time so I made her talk until the end .Good chance?
Minaho-neesan laughs.
The shape of Nei’s words that has been accumulated for thee years would be okay. Letting out those words, her emotions to someone is very important. It’s really good that Yoshida-kun listened.we can’t free Nei’s heart after all
.Why? Margo and I were in that place. There’s no need for her to say anything new.we knew everything after all. Rather, if we talk about Kei’s death from our point of view, it would result to hurt Nei’s heart more
.I see
But.she doesn’t tell anyone. Unable to say it is painful. Those strong emotions have been accumulating in Nei’s heart for a long time.so pitiable
.Nei-san
Therefore.it’s fine for now. Nei was able to tell you her past. That’s fine for now. Even this is a great progress.
Minaho-neesan said.
Anyway, remember this.Nei’s body may be an adult but she’s childish. Yoshida-kun, I’d like you to think that she’s the youngest sister
Nei-san’s a little sister.
That’s right.even in her relationship with Kei-san she has always been the younger sister, she’s been treated as the younger sister in Kuromoriall this time. Nei’s feeling of being the little sister is deeply ingrained in her. She’s dependent just like Yoshida-kun and Megumi.
Right.Nei-san has someone with her all the time.
Usually, Margo-san. She has the aura ofhave to be protected.so it can’t be helped. True, Nei-san is our little sister.
It doesn’t mean that you have to spoil her. The wound in her heart is too big because her brother has died.so take time to slowly heal it!
.Minaho-neesan.
She never opened up her heart since the start.she got in good terms with Margo when they entered our school.she really takes some time
Minaho-neesan leaks out a sigh.
It’ll be our task from now on to have Nei open up her heart to Yoshida-kun and everyone. Everyone, let’s watch them over warmly
.Everyone
.Us, everyone.
Us, as the elder sisters.Katsuko, Margo, And I have different standpoints to protect Nei. Our roles are different. I’m her guide. Margo’s theintimate elder sister.Katsuko purposely takes a close distance with Nei therefore she becomes the one she can talk with if she can’t consult Margo!
Minaho-neesan and others are on thesenior group.
Each of them are aware of their own roles. I see, that’s why Nei-san calls Minaho-neesanSensei
The young ones should think of their own roles too. Or rather.everyone except Yoshida-kun seems to know it already!
.Minaho-neesan?
Minaho-neesan looks towards Megu and Mana who were sleeping.
I’ve changed my opinion about you. I formally welcome you as a member ofKuromori.Mana-san
.Mana?
Mana who should’ve been sleeping shows a V-sign with her hand. You were awake?
You are the child who’s the mostlittle sister You were able to read the atmosphere at such times
I see.so she won’t get in the way of Nei-san’s talk
She has been pretending to sleep all this time!
Megumi too.Thank you
Megu who’s lying down doesn’t move her body at all.
But, when Minaho-neesan said that.as expected, she opened her eyes. Megu and Mana were being considerate to Nei-san.
Both of you.make it so you haven’t heard that story. Megumi.you don’t want to hear Yoshida-kun’s confession to Nei, do you.that’s why just continue to pretend to be asleep
.Eh?
Don’t worry, Megumi. Yoshida-kun’s definitely holding a deep affection to Nei but.as he has said a while ago.it is different from the usual romantic feelings
Minaho-neesan told Megu.
This person is really Nei’sfirst love Therefore Nei has become a supreme existence inside him. It’s different from what he thinks about you and Misuzu. Yoshida-kun’s emotion towards you is a proper romantic emotion!
.What does that mean?
Megu gets up.
She’s really completely awake.
Yoshida-kun won’t depend on Nei. She’s hisfirst loveso he’s trying to show off, just like earlier.he’s making such a big promise he can’t even do!
No.I’m serious!
Minaho-neesan looks at me then smiles wryly.
That’s why Yoshida-kun’s atrouble child!
.I
Do you think that loving one-sidedly is a healthy relationship?
.That’s If you sayI’ll make you happy for a lifetimeit would make women happy but.that’s a proposal.but when you sayI don’t mind if you marry a man other than myselfto be honest, it would trouble women!
Is that so.
.Yoshida-kun. Answer honestly, are you thinking the same on Megumi and others?
.Eh?
Megumi, Misuzu-san, Mana-san too.if a better man appears for them, are you willing to back away?
.That is.
I have no other choice. I think that I should do that.
Look at Megumi properly then be honest with your feelings!
.I
I look at Megu Megu looks at me worriedly. .Her long and narrow beautiful eyes. .Tall and slim body. .She’s definitely a beauty to everyone’s eyes.
I don’t want to hand her over to anyone
Megu looks at me in surprise.
