This petite girl worships Misuzu.
.Who rides first doesn’t matter
.That’s right.
I’ll definitely help everyone!
.Everyone?
.Michi’s surprised.
That’s right! Who cares if I die.if I was left behind the ship and drown.I will save everyone else. Misuzu, Nei-san, Megu, Mana, Katsuko-nee, Nagisa, Margo-san, Minaho-neesan! I will be saving everyone!
That’s odd!
Michi shook her head.
If there’s someone you can’t help.what would you do?
I don’t think like that! I will save everyone even if I die! Yoshida, you’re absurd! It’s not absurd!
Michi and I shout at each other in Yukino’s narrowconfinement room
.Why? There’s no man who can love women that evenly!
Michi told me.
.I
I do.everyone’s myfamily!
.That’s right.
.Family?
I look at Michi’s eyes then tell her clearly.
Kuromoriis my family That’s why I love them all. I will protect them with my life. I will definitely make them happy.everyone’s myfamily!
.Family
.I finally found myfamily .The family I shouldprotect
.Misuzu-sama’s a.family?
Michi’s surprised.
That’s right! Misuzu’s myfamily That’s why I love her. I’ll definitely protect her. I’ll make her happy!
Yoshida.you’re insolent
Michi mutters
.Fuson?
It means that you’re excessively conceited.there’s no way for us commoner to befamilywith a bloodline like Misuzu-sama, do we?
Michi has been serving Misuzu since childhood.
Naturally, she knows the Kouzuki house well.
I don’t know aboutKouzukihouse but.Misuzu’s a normal girl. She’s a completely normal human. That’s why she becomes myfamily
.What do you mean? Even if you’re not tied by blood.even a complete stranger.when you trust each other then everyone can become afamily I came toKuromoriand learned that! Are you really believing such absurd thing? A family with thick relations of other people than the same blood? Yeah.I do
Because.I
I believe nothing in theblood tiesrather.
.That’s right.
I’m a child abandoned by my parents. Megu’s the same. Mana too. The parents have aBlood tieso they will protect the children?That’s not true. We have to survive with our own power
Therefore.we gather.
That isKuromoriright now.
The other people are the same too.Margo-san can’t stay with her own family. Nei-san has her family killed. Katsuko-nee and Nagisa were abducted, turned to a prostitute.and can’t return to their families. Minaho-neesan’s both.abandoned by her father.was kidnapped from her mother.her sister was killed. Everyone lost their true family tied by blood. Therefore.we’re makingKuromoriour ownfamily Misuzu-sama’s different! Misuzu-sama’s family is alive! It’s not just her grandfather, Kouzuki-sama her father and mother are alive as well.Misuzu-sama doesn’t have any complains about her family!
Well.that might be the case but!
I have a conviction.
Our souls call each other. We have a bond that connects us. That’s what I feel
Oh.so that’s how it is.
The determination hardens inside me.
Therefore.tonight, I will meet Kouzuki-san and ask him.Please give me Misuzu!
Michi’s stunned.
.Are you intending to marry Misuzu-sama? That’s impossible! Commoners being tied up with Kouzuki family!
Legal marriage might not be possible but that doesn’t matter. I want to be with Misuzu for the rest of my life. That’s all That makes Misuzu-sama pitiful!
.Michi?
Unable to wear a bridal gown.even though she’s born as a woman.that’s!
Really.this warrior like girl.
She’s a woman inside her head. A fifteen year old normal girl. Very ordinary.
But.it’s much better than political marriage, isn’t it?
However.the role of a woman born in famous houses is to marry to strengthen relationship between houses
Michi grasped her hand tightly.and said.
Who cares about that fate!
.I
She’s already mywoman I won’t hand her to anyone!
.Yoshida?
Michi looks up at me in surprise.
Excuse me.could you take that boring conversation somewhere I can’t hear?
Yukino who’s lying down on the floor told me with an amazed expression.
You decide what you resolve but I have nothing to do with it.1 To be honest.it’s nuisance to hear the absurd reason of an insane criminal!
.Un, right.
From Yukino’s perspective.I’m only a madman. I know that too. .But. I have no choice but to go this way. To live as a member ofKuromori.
But.you’re really something to make such incomprehensible conversations every time
Yukino told me.
Shouldn’t you just say. Shut up idiot, I said I want to do it so shut up!shouldn’t you?
.I
I want to talk properly. I want to understand through a dialog. I’d like us to understand each other
.What?
Yukino asks me with a blank face.
Right now.it’s with Michi. I want to know what kind of girl she is and what is she thinking
Shouldn’t you make her realize what you are thinking first Well of course.I tell Michi what I think but.I don’t want her to agree with me.it’s not to make her understand either. Rather than that.I want to know Michi’s heart by talking Oh.you want topeekinto the heart of the woman you’re talking with? You’re completely a vulgar man.
Yukino snorts her nose.
Well.you can’t understand unless you see through the heart, can you?
.Understand?
Michi mutters.
I want to understand Michi
Me?
Yukino laughs.
Can’t you just know that by just looking.this girl is just an idiot escort girl who loves the lady from Kouzuki-house? You don’t get that?
No.that’s not it
I said.
You shouldn’t judge people from their surface.You see, Michi is
I look at Michi.
Michi looks at me.
A lovely girl.a fifteen year old girl who exerts herself to the hardest
Yukino laughs.
What’s that! What? You’re intending to seduce this child now?You’re loose!
Michi.
.Don’t laugh
She strikes the electric baton in front of Yukino’s eyes!
A spark shines for a moment.1
.Hii!
Yukino’s face cramped.
My father has taught meNo matter what.don’t laugh at a person who does with utmost effort.
Then, she looks at me.
I don’t know how Yoshida thinks. To be honest, I can only imagine it being reckless and absurd.but, I know that Yoshida is diligent
.Michi?
Therefore.I put the insolent remark about Misuzu-sama deep in my chest. Anyway.Yoshida, serve Misuzu-sama from now on. It’s certain that Misuzu-sama likes Yoshida. If Yoshida won’t betray Misuzu-sama.then I will forgive his existence. I will also look over his fornication with the otherwomen.
.I
I will never betray Misuzu. I swear
I swore to Michi.
Then, Yoshida.please tell me one thing
Michi asks me with a serious face
She shows the electric baton to Yukino.
What does Yoshida think with this woman?
.Yukino?
This woman should be ourenemy That’s what I have heard
yeah.Yukino is Shirasaka Sousuke’s daughter.she’s taking a rebellious attitude towards us all the time so.I think that there’s no mistake that she’s anenemy
At least.she’s not an ally.
Then why.does Yoshida treat this woman as gentle as towards other women?
.I?
.am I kind to Yukino?
Don’t be ridiculous! This man raped me! Dozens of times! There’s no way this guy is gentle to me!
Yukino screams.
That’s right.it is as Yukino says.
A woman raped with hostility can’t do something like this
Michi said.
I was able to watch the rape videos with father multiple times. That is to make me understand what kind of humiliation would I take if I was caught by the enemy.it’s to understand how brutal humanenemies are Recalling it now, I still feel sick. I felt intense hatred towards men from watching those videos .Kudou papa.
