.Directly.
I will settle it with Misuzu’s grandfather.
Misuzu-san’s dance presentation tomorrow.will of course have Kouzuki-sama there as well
I’ll meet with Misuzu’s grandfather there.
No, not just her grandfather. Misuzu’s fiancé her grandfather has decided will be there too!
Think about how you will talk with Kouzuki-sama from now on
Sensei told me.
.I
Got it. I’ll think about it
I look at Misuzu’s panty at my hand.
Misuzu’s surely ready for it. Then.I should steel myself too. As Misuzu’s man
You have changed.Yoshida-kun
Sensei looks at my face.
.Eh?
I don’t know.
You’ve changed.You’re making a good face. A very manly face
.Manly?
I’m always a man though?
Before, you didn’t have anything to protect. You never thought of yourself as important
Katsuko-nee tells me.
But.Right now, you have a lot of people you treasure. You’re brining good tension of the feeling of Want to protect Right now, you’re making a good tensed face
Katsuok-nee praises me.
.Now, you should value yourself even a bit more
Sensei sighs.
.That’s okay
Megumi mutters.
Yoshida-kun treasures us. He’s our beloved Danna-samaafter all.
Megu borrowed Misuzu’s words.
Right.we only have to take care of him
Katsuko-nee smiled.
Then.Maika will pat pat his head!
Maika pats my head.
Isn’t that great.Yoshida-kun?
Sensei says so then steps on the accelerator.
The car has began to run again. Next destination would be Yamamine house
This time.I have to meet Megu’s foster parents
1. Literally Helper
Chapter 110
110. Marriage declaration Second resolution
.That is my house
Megu points at a house.
The sun has already gone down. The cloudy night sky comes. On the corner of the low-lying residential area.entering a compact shopping district, right at the back of the alley. An old small house was built there.
Waa.Small
Maika says.
Perhaps, there’s only one or two rooms on both floors. The first floor is the parent’s living room and the second floor is Megumi’s room and the storage? The glass door has a crack and is patched by a brown packing tape. The lamp in the front door is burning darkly. The paint on the wooden wall has faded away considerably. It’s a rag house with poor light inside. By standards.You can’t think that they’re relatives of the famous family Shirasaka.
Right.It’s smaller than Maika-san’s house
Yuzuki-sensei told Maika.
Ah.Sorry. I didn’t mean it like that
Megu smiles at the apologizing Maika.1
It’s fine. Yamamine house is being aided by Shirasaka house on the livelihood.
Megu said.
The head of Shirasaka house.the second wife of the founder of the newspaper company was coming from Yamamine house
Yes, she’s originally a daughter of an employee of the company. The founder fell in love with her then.as far as it goes, they put her in the family register and made her a concubine
Megu answers Sensei question
Yamamine house has become Shirasaka house’s relative like that but.because other marriage proposals other than Yamamine house has been on the distinguished families.they’ve become a complete luggage of the clan Yamamine house who came from commoners has been looked down by the people of Shirasaka house all this time.
My foster father, and all of his brothers are all employed in a company affliated to Shirasaka house
Did any of them enter the newspaper company?
Megu shook her head?
.People from Yamamine house will never be hired in the newspaper and big companies. They’re appointed at the place that is the subsidiary of the subsidiary of the company group. Even if they work for that company for years, they cannot get anything higher than section chief. They’re driven to the standpoint where they can’t go against the people of Shirasaka house They’re such a clan who do such things without concern.
They’re like idiots.Even Shirasaka house was just a commoner until the founder made the newspaper company succeed. Mistaking that they have risen to such nobles, they justify such foolish things, but!
Sensei speaks out.
Maika-san.Misuzu-san will have her symposium the day after tomorrow. Go with Yoshida-kun and Megumi. That’s where the genuine nobles of the country gather
Sensei tells Maika.
Take a look at the genuine first class people. You will understand that Shirasaka who’s an upstart isn’t the real one
Misuzu’s learning the Konpeki style traditional dance from the headmaster2
The headmaster’s class would be performing the day after tomorrow. It’s just a presentation of a traditional dance class and yet, they’re using the National Theatre The girls dancing with Misuzu are all students of the headmaster.They must all be daughters of prestigious families. Naturally.Their family would come to see the presentation. Japan’s.wealthy socialites.
Right, I think it would be a good study for you. You should go there
Katsuko-nee says so, however.
Nei-sama and Margo-sama will be coming too.If I recall, Nagisa will do the same?
Huh, Katsuko-nee won’t come?
I asked instinctively.
I cannot go to such places. Nagisa is already Retiredfor years so she can pass.But I’m still in Active service There’s a lot of people I would be troubled to face
Katsuko-nee choses her words carefully in front of Maika.
.I see Katsuko-nee will have lots of her guests coming in there too.
I will be alright but.those people
The guest would be coming with his wife and daughter and yet, he would see Katsuko-nee’s face.That’s certainly hard.
Therefore, I will be just a support on the day after tomorrow!
.Eh?
Not House watching.But Support That means that there’s something scheduled to be executed at that day. As Kuromori.
.Katsuko, how’s the rear?
Sensei has been observing the state outside the car since a while ago.
She’s been staring at the darkness where the street lights doesn’t hit.
There’s no abnormality on the rear as well. There’s no lookout or ambush it seems.
Katsuko-nee is also checking the outside through the rear window.
It seems that Shirasaka’s head doesn’t begin to move yet.
Yes. Shirasaka Sousuke from Australia cannot contact Japan.the clan and the company still thinks that he’s on a normal business trip
Sensei turned to us.
Okay.We’re about to go. Megumi and Yoshida-kun will be with me. Katsuko and Maika will wait inside the car
.Okay
Megu’s nervous.
I’ve brought a hidden microphone so Maika-san will be listening with Katsuko in here
Sensei tells Maika.
.Maika-san, you still don’t trust us from the bottom of your heart, don’t you?
.Eh?
Maika swallows her saliva.
Therefore.I’d like you to listen to my talk with Yamamine-san. You don’t think that Yamamine-san is also conspiring with us just to fool Maika-san, do you?
Well.Yes, I think that uncle Yamamine won’t do that
Sensei looks straight at Maika.
Then.Listen. I want Maika-san to understand the truth about Shirasaka house
Yes.understood
Maika replied.
.Bring this
Katsuko-nee handed me a small digital camera
Take photos of Megumi-chan’s family and her room as well
.Take photos
Megumi-chan will be parting from this house today.take a commemoration photo
Megu can no longer return to this house
The house she lived for ten years. She’ll part from her foster parents.
I’ll quote a famous photographer I respect.Take as much photos as possible. We’ll forget about it anyway.Human’s are quite forgetful. Therefore, you should leave it as a photos as much as possible so you won’t forget it3
.Katsuko-nee
Got it.I’ll take photos
I hold the camera firmly.
