Kyouko-sam told Maru-chan

Sure

Margo-san brought a handglass from the restroom.

Look at the mirror.Nei

In the mirror.there’s a crying child

That’s me. Nei.she has Kei-chan’s face.

When this girl is crying, Kei’s gonna feel sad.therefore, eat

I took the spoon.

I scooped the soup, put it in my mouth.then swallowed. I feel blood gathering in my stomach. The soup is becoming my blood and flesh.

If the girl in the mirror is energetic, Kei would be pleased.live with that thought. Okay, Nei?

Kyouko-san said.

Therefore, I

I look at the mirror every time something happens.

Happy things, sad things, even hard things. I look at the face in the mirror. If I look in the mirror.I can meet Kei-chan. Kei-chan is living inside me. Therefore.I’m alive. I eat meals for Kei-chan’s sake. I laugh for Kei-chan’s sake. When I laugh, Kei-chan’s laughing too. Therefore.I smile as much as possible. I laugh happily.

It’s for Kei-chan’s sake.

For Kei-chan’s sake. Kei-chan’s sake.

The school in midnight.the monitor room concealed under the principal’s office.

Nei-san’s long story finally finished.

That was three years ago. You now know why Viola’s aiming at me don’t you?

The monitor room quiets down.

Mana and Megu were sleeping in the same air mat. Perhaps, Yukino too. Katsuko-nee’s sleeping Minaho-neesan’s not here. The one’s awake are Me, Nei-san, Michi, and Margo-san.

You see.sometimes, I still don’t understand myself!

Nei-san looks afar and said.

Am I really happy, sad.my heart’s in a mess, it screams. Help me, help me, help me!

.Nei-san

.At those times, I look in the mirror. Kei-chan’s inside the mirror after all. I feel relived. I feel safe.when I feel that I’m about to burst.the face in the mirror smiles. That’s not my face.that’s Kei-chan’s face. I’m healed by the face of Kei-chan inside the mirror! Ahaha, that’s funny isn’t it?

.I

I embraced Nei-san’s body.

.Nei-san

What’s wrong? Yo-chan.Sorry My strange story is scarty isn’t it?

Nei-sann said then pats my head.

.Sorry, Yo-chan

Nei-san wants to be anOnee-san

Nei-san lost Kei-chan. The emotion that’s piled up in her heart is swelling, and about to explode. .This person She has lost the one she poured her love on.

.Onee-san

I told Nei-san

.I’ll be Nei-san’s brother.I will!

Un.Thanks

Nei-san embraced me gently

Yo-chan’s really kind

But.

Michi speaks in the very dim light.

I think that doesn’t solve the fundamental problem.

I’m surprised.

.It’s impossible to be her twin brother

I know that

That person named Kei is already dead.

Nei-san’s body trembled from Michi’s words.

Even if it’s not a fundamental solution.Yoshida-kun’s existence has been a good influence for Nei.

Margo-san who’s silent all this time spoke up.

Yoshida-kun has thepower to heal the problems in women’s heart!

Margo-san looks at me.

Nei’s been stable compared to before.Katsuko-san and Minaho are the same. Even your master, Misuzu-san is the same, am I wrong?

Well.true, that might be the case.

Margo-san smiles

I think it’s a wonderful power.therefore, I try not to be as close to Yoshida-kun as possible!

.Margo-san?

I’m in the combat force after all. If I get healed too much, my movements will become dull in case of emergency. Therefore, I try to keep away from him

.Is that so?

But.I’m really grateful to you. Before they met you, Minaho and Katsuko-san were in a dangerous situation. Especially Minaho.although I was warning her quite a lot, I think that it’s possible for her to make a mistake on an important situation!

Margo-san said.

She’s stable thanks to Yoshida-kun.No, since she’s not giving herself to the revenge alone and take consideration of Yoshida-kun, Megumi-chan and the other children, I think she can accomplish her plans very well. If she goes with her initial momentum.I misjudged my resolution and drive Shirasaka Sousuketherefore, she’ll fail in the middle of the plan .Is that so?

Is my existence a factor why Minaho-neesan and others work well? Even though I’m just a drag? Therefore.I’d like to be useful even for a bit.

I think that it’s good that Yoshida-kun is making contact with Nei. Even if you can’t see it as asibling play.Nei right now can’t make a contact with a boy except in that form. That’s why I think it’s fine .But, I

.That’s right, I

I really want to be Nei-san’s brother. I’d like to help Nei-san!

.Nei-san

.Thank you, Yo-chan. I really thank you!

Then.

Margo-san told me.

That’s not it.Yoshida-kun

.Eh?

Nei wants abrotherexistence therefore you think want to be Nei’sbrother.

.That is

But.you actually love Nei as aman Not as abrother!

.That might be the case.

I’m a lone child. I don’t how does abrotherlove hissister .But

I do like Nei-san. I’ll do anything that Nei-san wants.Nei-san’s important to me.I’m fine whatever I become as long as Nei-san’s happy!

.Yo-chan?

Nei-san’s confused.

That would be troubling

.EH? Because.I I can never become happy!

.Nei-san?

If I become happy.then I would be restless inside.and I’ll close myself deep inside!

Nei-san.separates from me.

As long as Kei-chan is inside me.I won’t forgive myself. I’m a woman that will never become happy!

Nei-san said.

1. That’s a copy paste

Chapter 184

.Nei-san

I just throw the words that pop in my head to Nei-san.

I think there’s nobody in the world who must not become happy!

.Err

Nei-san.you decide by yourself thatyou can not become happy.but that’s not true in reality.because

Eei.just say it!

I’ll surely make Nei-san happy! I’m an idiot so I don’t know how to make Nei-san happy right now but.but, I’ll think about it desperately! I’ll test out everything! I’ll devote myself for it!

.Yo-chan? Of course.I think it’ll take a lot of time. Therefore.giver me some time. For the time being.ten years. No, twenty years.if I can’t do it in twenty years then make it my lifetime. I’ll make you happy even if it takes a lifetime.that’s why!

Nei-san’s tears shine in the dim room.

She’s looking at me.

.Fufu, Yoshida-kun, is that a proposal?

Margo-san said with a wry smile.

It’s not! It’s not something that not-serious!

I!

My my.proposals are serious you know!

Margo-san said.

Well.that’s true but that’s not it! It’s not that I want to marry Nei-san or even make her my lover! I just want to make her happy! I don’t mind even if Nei-san marries a man other than me. But, I just want Nei-san to be smiling and be happy!

My head is in a mess.

After listening to Nei-san’s very sad story.

I.I don’t understand happiness. How do you make people happy? What can I do to make people happy? I don’t know. I.What should I do?

Nei-san holds my hand.

.Thank you, Yo-chan. Those words are enough for me!

Nei-san looks at me while shedding scalding tears!

No! That’s not it! Isn’t this just words? What I want is to make you happy from the bottom of your heart!

.I’m happy. Yo-chan is saying that for me No no no.I haven’t done anything yet! I will do it from now on! I’ll do my best! I don’t know what to do or what to work hard on but.I’ll desperately work hard for it!

.Miserable.

.Frustrating I don’t know what to do at all. But, I knew. Right now, I. I can’t heal the sadness in Nei-san’s heart from the loss of Kei-san. .Dammit!

.Yo-chan, that is good enough for me now

Nei-san looks down and said.

.No. That’s not the case!
