.Megu?

When I heard Yoshi-kun’s life story the other day.I thoughtThis person’s much more pitiful than I am He has experienced more suffering than me and yet he endured itwhen I thought of that.I thought I want to become hisFamily!

Megu looks at me.

Misuzu has it even before that. Misuzu was Nagisa-sama’s pet at first. I felt strange when Nagisa-sama has ordered me toBecome her pethowever.I can understand it now Nagisa-sama.noticed that Misuzu wishes for a family she can trust But.we can’t become familyeasily therefore.Nagisa-sama made me her Pet.

Misuzu looks at me.

When I was told by Nagisa-sama to become Danna-sama’s pet.I was shocked to be honest. I don’t know what to do becoming as a man’s pet. But.Danna-sama has been really kind to Misuzu. At first he was being a pet owner.But he takes care of Misuzu and treasures me responsibly. It as if we’re family!

Is that so?

Did I treat Misuzu like a family? .I don’t know. Just what is family.to me. Since I don’t know what’s familylike at all.

You’re right.Yoshi-kun doesn’t think of Mana and I as problems.

Megu said.

I’ve read something like this before.Love makes you able to endure no matter how troublesome it is.

.Megu?

For example.it’s normal to be handful with a child isn’t it? They cry from something trivial, scream, and even rage. It’s love that makes mother continue taking care of such children.

.Hmm.

I don’t get it. I never cried nor screamed in the house when I was a child. On the contrary, I wasn’t allowed to talk about anything to my mother. My father has said. We’re air in this house, always remove your presence.

Even if the others cannot endure it, you can endure it if it’s a relative. You can make an effort to solve the problem after enduring it. Family can accept it even if the lover cannot.if it was your own child, parent’slovemean throwing your own life for your own child, isn’t that right?

Megu said that but.

If it was my parents.They’ll just abandon me and try to survive themselves. No.Of course, there are prople in the world who love their children as Megu says. I think there is but.I have nothing to do with it. My parents aren’t like that.

Yoshi-kun.don’t make that kind of face, look this way

Megu smiled at me.

Yoshi-kun.You did your best for Mana’s sake yesterday. Why?

.Eh?

Did you not have any intentions of abandoning Mana halfway? I did. Let me be honest. If there’s a nuisance like Mana, it would cause trouble to everyone.so I thought I should give up on her.

Mana looks at me with serious eyes.

If ever.Yoshi-kun didn’t do his best that much.if he did abandon Mana in the end.I don’t think Mana would be here today

.That’s.

I just.

Yoshi-kun.Why did you do your best not to abandon Mana? Why?

.Mana looks at me.

That is.I don’t get it myself but anyway.I think it’s definitely no good to abandon her.

I don’t get myself.

.Then, speak your feelings right now. What does Yoshi-kun think of Mana?

.My current feeling about Mana?

That’s right.tell us

Megu asks me.

Mana.Misuzu.and Kudou-chan is looking at me seriously. Yukino’s the only one who has her mouth open absentmindedly.

.I think she’s cute

.That’s all? Err.I think that I have to protect her .Protect? Well.Mana has abandoned Shirasaka house so I have to protect her right? .Protect, what will you do? For the time being.I have to work part time .Part time? Yeah.there’s a big disturbance right now but I have to earn a lot of money! .Why? Well.I have to earn Mana’s living expenses right? Mana’s still a middle school student after all. .Are you serious about that? Serious. I want Mana to properly go to middle school.even in high school.Mana looks intelligent so I think she can go even at a university .Mana is Yoshi-kun’s Slave Are you going to earn money for your slave? Well.She’s my slaveisn’t she? .Yoshi-kun? She’s my slave.so I have no choice but to look after her.

Tears spill from Mana’s eyes.

It’s not just Mana.Megu’s the same

.Me? Megu.you said that you’re going to work part time yourself but.Actually, I don’t want you to do that .Yoshi-kun? I want Megu to do her best in club activities.Megu has good grades so I want you to go to a university! .It’s okay, you don’t have to Don’t say that! I intend to borrow money from Minaho-neesan for Megu’s sake. Yoshi-kun.what are you saying? I will be working and repaying for everything in the future therefore.I thought of borrowing Megu’s school fee with that promise! .Yoshi-kun! I think Minaho-neesan will lend for Megu’s sake.But, she won’t be lending anything for Mana. Mana.is Minaho-neesan’s enemy’s daughter. I have to be grateful that she’s even letting her stay with us.therefore, I have to work part time to earn money for Mana.

Misuzu looks at me.

Therefore.I’m sorry Misuzu!

what is it, Danna-sama?

Misuzu looks at me with a surprised face.

Misuzu too.I’d like to buy you a lot of things but now.I don’t have any money. I have to look at Misuzu lower than the other women Believe me.I’ll alsorepayMisuzu properly.I willreturneven if it takes me a lifetime. I promise that!

What.repay?

Misuzu looks at me with a wondering face.

Isn’t that obvious?It’s favor!

I shouted.

I.received favors from everyone, Misuzu, Megu, Katsuko-nee, Nagisa, Minaho-neesan, Margo-san, Nei-san.and pperhaps Mana too! Therefore I have to repay it even if it takes me a lifetime!

Misuzu mutters.

.Baka

.Eh?

Danna-sama is an idiot! A huge idiot!

Yeah.You’re right, I’m not smart, and I’m always bothering everyone, but. I didn’t mean it like that! Bakaa!

Misuzu shouts loudly!

The room quiets down. .Shit I said something that made everyone angry.

Uhm.this isn’t something I should say but.

Breaking the silence.Kudou-chan speaks out.

In short.for Yoshida-sama, everyone’s already his familyis that correct?

.Family?

Danna-sama.Danna-sama’s wrong!

Misuzu tells me angrily.

.yes

I just nod obediently.

It’s Lovethat’s between us not Favor!

.Love?

I finally understand why Danna-sama bears those words he just said alone. Please don’t ever think of returning the favor again. It’s unpleasant. I can’t agree to that!

.sorry We’re already family we’refamily.so please depend on us. Even if you are grateful, please never say something so distant like repaying a favor

.Misuzu.

I think so too. Misuzu-san and I are Yoshi-kun’s wivestherefore, our husband doesn’t have to mind it!

.Megu

Megumi-san.Misuzu is.

Isn’t it okay to have two lawful wives?Our husband is a tolerant person!

Megu smiled at Misuzu.

.Michi

Misuzu turns to Kudou-chan

.Yes

Please tell me when you’re going to report to Grandfather. Misuzu.can’t be formally married to Danna-sama. I can’t disgrace Kouzuki house’s name. But.I won’t have any other men than Danna-sama for the rest of my life. Misuzu’s husband is this person! Understood.Misuzu-sama and Yoshida-sama, would like to tell that they love each other like a family We’re not like a family.we’re family2 Misuzu is already Danna-sama’s wife!

Misuzu declared.

.Onii-chan, what about me?

Mana looks at me with a teary face.

Am I also your family?

.I

What are you saying?since when Mana become myslave.you’re already myfamily. If not.you can’t become a slave!

Mana jumps to my arm!

.I love you! Onii-chan, I love you!

I embrace Mana.

I will be serving you a lot.please love me forever and ever!

Yeah.I know Please love Misuzu too Then.Should I be the one to love Yoshi-kun?

When Megu says that, Misuzu.
