Katsuko-nee mutters.
I’m the one who should say that.If Katsuko wasn’t with me, I would’ve committed suicide!
Nagisa shouts.
I’m very timid.so I always go frivolous and smile forcibly right? But, Katsuko’s strong.Katsuko is substantially stiff, I was able to endure it without despairing!
What are you saying! Nagisa’s way stronger! I was just getting cold feet.tremble in fear. Nagisa’s always been smiling no matter how cruel they were with you.you took initiative protecting me.therefore.I! I’m not that strong! It’s all thanks to Katsuko! It’s not! If it wasn’t for Nagisa, I would’ve been dead!
That’s when Mao-chan cuts in.
Don’t fight! uu!
Mao-chan scholded the two.
.Mao
Mao-chan .Mama and Katsuko-chan, get along! Embrace! You two!
Nagisa and Katsuko looked at each other.
.Un, Katsuko.
.Yes, Nagisa
The two embraced each other.
.We hugged like this back then, didn’t we?
Yes.we endured the frightening nights like this
Mao-chan smiles.
.With this, it’s case closed! Nihihihi!
One gentleman looks at Mao-chan.
Nagisa-kun.this girl’s father
Yes. it’s unknown You don’t intend to investigate? Yes.I didn’t do
DNA
tests or any other methods Why? I think that the man who thinks that he wants to be this girl’s father from the bottom of his heart then he’ll be thefather The biological father is insignificant.
Shirasaka Sousuke let Nagisa give birth to a child whose father is unknown.
Even if the men who raped Nagisa were checked.there’s no meaning. The man who took part in Shirasaka’s bizarre plan raping Nagisa can’t be a decent man.
Understood.if anything happens to Nagisa-kun and Katsuko-kun.you can consult me. I won’t do anything ill
No, I won’t let only Tatsunami-san show a good face. I will help as much as possible too I will cooperate too. If it’s something I can do, you can ask me anything Me too.as long as my wife doesn’t find out.
The gentlemen laughed.
True.it’s bad if your family discovers
But, we won’t hold back helping out if it’s something honest Kuromori-san, the same is for you too Yes.we are quite indebt with that mansion!
I discover Nagisa’s amazingness again.
Nagisa chose the people with decent sense from among her guests. The people who will help her andKuromoriin the future!
We’ve gained strongalliesagain.
Chapter 231
.Onii-chan, do you have a moment?
Mana taps my shoulders as I listen along with Nei-san on the tapped microphone.
Hm.what’s wrong?
When I turned to her.
Megu-oneechan looks strange.
.Whut?
Looking at Megu in panic, she looks like she’s depressed. Sitting on the sofa, she curls her head.
Nei-san.excuse me
I returned the earphone to Nei-san and go to Megu.
What’s wrong, Megu?
I squat down and match our eyes.
Holding her head.it’s horribly cold. .Megu’s nervous?
Sorry.I’ve gotten scared
Megu forces herself to smile with her gloomy face.
.Is it Cesario Viola?
Is she afraid that white Viola has sneaked into the theater?
That’s not it.it’s the current situation
Megu looked around the lobby
The spectators for tonight comes from the entrance. It’s not all old men like the ones Minaho-neesan and others are talking to right now. Of course.there are a lot of young girls who are friends with the performers. Their mothers, and grandmothers too.
Is it okay for me to be here?
.Megu
The majority of the people in the lobby are families of rich celebrities. The rest areguardsorattendants Konpeki school secretariat and security guards of Kouzuki security service. Then.there’s us. Thinking about it.Megu and I are the only ones who have lived a poor life. Yukino and Mana were from Shirasaa family.
Somehow.I suddenly got scared
Hearing Megu.I once again looked at the hall.
Un.I’m also messed up, someone out of place. It’s strange for me to be in a world of rich. This is a world unrelated to me. Noticing that.I suddenly feel shivery.
.Even though I had Yoshi-kun buy a cute dress for me.but I can’t wear it beautifully like other girls, right?
Megu looks at me with teary eyes.
.Right. Megu’s been unable to get dressed even at the Shirasaka family gatherings. She’s always been on her school uniform.driven at the corner of the room. She’s discriminated as the daughter of Yamamine house. Megu has a deep-rooted inferiority complex in respect tofine clothes
I’m not that cute. Wearing a dress doesn’t suit me either!
.Seriously.
.You really are.
Stop that, Megu. It’s the dress we picked!
I tell Megu with a strong tone.
I’m also a bit nervous.
It suits you. Isn’t that obvious that it suits you!
I embrace Megu tightly!
Yoshi-kun.this is embarrassing
Don’t be.we love each other
Megu’s stiffness is being softened in my arms.
The girl’s body softens, loosens. As if she’s melting from my body temperature.
.Yoshi-kun
Megu embraces me too.
.Did you calm down?
.Un
I let go of her.
I look straight at Megu.
I think that Megu’s cute. I think you’re beautiful. That’s why, it’s fine. It’s okay for Megu to be here
.But
It’ll be fine. If someone complains to Megu, I’ll beat them up. If you want, I’ll shout at everyone coming from the door. I’ll shoutMy Megu is cute!
Megu’s eyes turned moist.
.That dress. I can tell the reason why Minaho-nesan asks us to buy it. That’s a reward given by Minaho-neesan to me who worked with my body. It’s a dress I bought from my pay
.Un The girls here right now might be wearing a much more expensive dress but that doesn’t matter
.I
if Megu wears a luxurious dress now.I think perhaps, Minaho-neesan can easily prepare such a high-class dress for Megu
And yet.She purposely made Megu and I buy a dress.
With the set amount of money provided.
But.what would Megu think if she wears a high-class dressed that’s just borrowed?
.Perhaps, I would be more embarrassed. I don’t think I’m suited to wear a dress having a price I can’t reach
Megu answers.
What do you think about the dress you’re wearing now?
When I asked her.Megu touches her own dress.
I think that even this is too expensive for a girl like me. Really. But, this is the dress Yoshi-kun bought for me
That’s right.it’s the dress we both picked. You know the price don’t you? Un.I do. This dress is the most suitableclothingfor me now .That’s right. That’s why, puff out with pride and be dignified.Megu
I hold Megu’s hand.
For me.for Megu herself. Minaho-neesan has thought a lot for Megu!
I kiss the back of Megu’s hand.
Thank you.Yoshi-kun
I look at my suit.
Even I just borrowed this clothes. I’m glad that it’s borrowed. It’s not mine. This is Minaho-neesan’s grandfather’s suit.then, Katsuko-nee adjusted the size, filling it with love. I’m really glad wearing such clothes
.Yoshi-kun?
I wasn’t given new quality goods.
No, if I’m told to buy a high-class suit.I would perhaps reject it. Therefore. Minaho-neesan and Katsuko-nee.planned to borrow the late Kuromori Kounosuke-san’s clothes. They thought that I would accept it if it’s borrowed from the dead. Furthermore, Katsuko-nee changed the size to fit me in secret. If they didn’t go that far.I might’ve gone to the theater on my usual student clothes.
For now.I can only borrow clothes. That is my reality. Therefore.I accept that reality. Upon acceptance, I live dignified among the upper-class people!
Megu’s wearing cheap dress.
I’m wearing a borrowed suit. That is our reality. Let’s accept that. Then.let’s face up the world of high-class aware of your own unbecoming.
