We’ve fought existence far more frightening than Shirasaka house. We don’t intend to lose!
And, she took out a white package from her back.
She puts it on top of the low table.
Of course, we won’t just tell Yamamine-sama to give Megumi for free.This is 10 Million in cash
Sensei presented the package to Megumi’s foster father.
Megu’s foster parents are at loss.
You want me to sell my daughter?
This is a reward for reporting a lie to Shirasaka house. We will be kidnapping Megumi-san in paper however. It’s regardless of Yamamine-san’s will.
Sensei looks at Megumi’s foster parents.
.Check would be traced by banks. We’ve prepared bills that’s not in the circulation. It would be dangerous to leave the full amount on the same bank. Subdivide it little by little and put it in different accounts with your name Megu’s foster father looks at the package silently.
I’m asking you father, please take it
Megu spoke powerfully.
That’s saying that you want to sever connections with us?
Her foster father says sadly.
.That’s not it. Whatever the situation becomes, Megumi is father and mother’s daughter
Megu told her foster parents
.Please think of Megumi being sent off as a bride
Megu looks at me.
I nodded.
.Father, Mother.I really thank you for loving and raising me until now
Megumi takes off the cushion, puts her hand on the floor and bows to her parents
Megumi.will marry this man!
Megu looks at me.
Megu’s foster parents look at me in blank surprise. .I I removed the cushion, imitating Megumi. Putting my hands on the mat.I bowed to Megumi’s foster parents.
.I’m Yoshida. Please let me have the priviledge to marry Megumi-san
I said clearly.
.I’ll make Megumi-san happy. I will never let her feel sad.Please let me have your young lady!
I.
I don’t like sayingPlease let me have your young lady Megu.is already at the age where she can decide her own future. Someone who’s will is being controlled should be liberated. From Shirasaka Sousuke. From Shirasaka house. And.from her foster parents. I look at Megu once again.
.Megu, marry me!
.Megu
.Yes
She answered.
We will hold a proper ceremony when the time comes. At that time, please attend as Megu’s parents. Please!
I promised Megu’s foster parents.
.You’re serious?
Megu’s foster father asked me.
Yes, I’m serious
I answered clearly.
Father, Mother.I’m also serious. I love this person. I believe him. I will be with him throughout my life!
Megumi bowed to her foster parents again and again.
Dear.What do you think about them?
Megu’s foster mother asked her husband.
I think we should give Megumi as a bride
The foster father turns to his wife.
.Are you sure?
The foster mother nodded.
It’s much more better than being taken and becoming a prostitute or being kidnapped. It’s a celebration as well.
Her foster father sighs.
Then, he looked at me.
.Yoshida-kun, was it?
.Yes? I leave Megumi in your care
The foster father bowed to me.
.I .I steeled myself.
I’ll protect Megu with all my best!
I created another big resolution.
This will be a slightly adult talk so.get the luggage
Sensei told me and Megu.
Right.I think it’ll take at least half an hours, pack everything by that time. Just pack up the minimum necessities
.Okay
Megu answers Sensei.
Yoshi-kun My room’s on the second floor.
Ah.Okay
Coming out of the living room, we climb the narrow and steep stairs.
We can hear Yuzuki-sensei’s voice from the living room.
.As for the contents that Yamamine-san have to report for the head of Shirasaka house.
Sensei didn’t blame Megu’s foster parents but instead.it seems that she has prepared the minimum information that would be the content that they would report to the head of Shirasaka house.
This is my room
.Megu’s head.
A six-mat Japanese style room.A study desk, bookshelf, and a bed. There’s nothing else. There’s nothing that looks girlish.
My luggage has already been packed
There’s two travel bags in line on side of the bed.
Look.I should be taken by Shirasaka-san5 after the golden week. That’s why.I’ve already finished preparations
.Megu
She was prepared for it. His biological father making her fall to prostitution. That’s why, Megu is. She has given up on her life.
Wait. I’ll gather my school stuff. I thought that I cannot go to school anymore after all. Therefore I didn’t pack my school stuff
Megu said.
All of the books and notebooks are piled up on Megu’s desk. Her uniform and spare gym suits are stuffed in a sports bag. The packing ended in just a minute. I took photos of Megu’s room.
.What are you doing Yoshi-kun?
Well.This is the room Megu has lived since she was six, right? Yeah.I lived here for ten years. Then.I have to take photos Right.I cannot go back here after all
Megu said sadly.
.The room you’ve lived for ten years is really clean
Or perhaps should I say there’s nothing but the minimum.
There’s no magazines or manga or even a novel on her bookshelf either. Other than old textbooks.It’s empty. There’s not a single stuffed toy, poster, or something that’s like a high school girl would own. And, the windows are cleaned beautifully and there’s not a single dust on the floor. It’s perfectly cleaned.
I think that I’m just borrowing this room from Yamamine-san.
When we were alone in the room.Megu calls her foster father Yamamine-san
In short.She never heartily think that her foster parents are her own parents. They’re just the people who raised her. She wasn’t thinking that they’re living together.
It’s just a borrowed room so you must not let it become dirty, right?
Megu said seriously.
Also.I thought that somebody would come to pick me up someday
.Megu?
.Someday, I’ll come back to the mansion and become a prostitute. Ever since I was a child!
.That’s.
Therefore.I was prepared to get out of this house since I was a child. I’ve been prepared all the time. Someday, someone will come to get me so I put my things on two bags and have it next to my bed These two bags have been prepared all this time.
This is the bag that I brought when I was taken from the mansion to this house. Mama’s bag!
Megu’s mother.Keiko-san’s bag.
I came here with just two bags.so I thought that I should just have two bags when I will leave as well
Megu’s two old bags.
Somehow, I remember my cardboard boxes. My private properties are collected in just one cardboard box. Megu and I are same existence.
Because the bag I use in school was added.It became three
Megu smiles wryly.
I’ll take all of it
I’ll carry it out of the house with Megu’s thoughts.
It’s okay.let me have half of it
Megu said bashfully.
I want to be Yoshi-kun’s half
Megumi and I want to share the sorrow and the harsh memories.
.Got it
I answered.
But, I’m glad. Thanks to Minaho-san.I will be able to continue going to school
.Eh?
.I’ve always thought of it. I’m able to live just like a normal child for now.I have to do all of my best while I’m living on Yamamine house. Thus.I do my best in study and sports. My foster parents are very pleased when I give good results!
Thus.The honor student, Yamamine Megumi was made.
Megu believes that her life ahead has the hell of prostitution waiting for her.
.Megu doesn’t need to become a prostitute anymore.you’ll be my bride
I embraced Megu.
Un.I’m glad I met Yoshi-kun.I’m happy
I kissed Megu.
Megu returned a kiss to me.
It feels strange.I never thought of kissing a boy in my own room
