Ah.I’m turning on the lights
Margo-san turned on the switch on the wall.
The fluorescent lamp flickers. We’ve been in the dark all this time so it’s dazzling
Lol, everyone’s having an awful face!
Maika laughed.
Everyone’s covered with dust.
Maika’s the same
I said and laughed at Maika.
Hey.Wipe off the dust!
Maika pats the back of my uniform!
Wait wait, Maika-chan! There’s still dust in here so do that outside!
Margo-san told Maika while coughing.
Ah.Sorry!
Maika bows.
When I look around.this is an emergency use storage. There are lots of card board boxes queued in a shelf. This must be a room where no one usually enters.
This way
Margo-san shows a door on the depths.
When we opened the door.it was the parking lot of a building. The scent of outside air.
There’s no doubt.That’s the hotel building on the other side.
MArgo-san confirmed.
I assumed before that we will be arriving here. I have two cars prepared on this parking lot
.I’m glad.
We somehow managed to escape.
Then, Maika will dust you off!
Maika hits my school uniform lightly.
I also took off the dust on Maika’s hair. Megu is on Minaho-neesan. Katsuko-nee’s dusting off Margo-san.
.I want to go to bath soon
I agree with Maika’s opinion.
There’s two light van Margo-san prepared beforehand. As I thought, it has the Maruko Printingin it.
.Then, Margo and Katsuko will return to the mansion. I will be taking the children with me
Minaho-neesan issues instructions
Eh.We’re not returning to the mansion?
Yes.It would be dangerous if we all return. The three of you will stay on a different location tonight
Minaho-neesan said.
You will go to school directly tomorrow from there. Therefore take only what’s necessary for tomorrow. Leave everything else on Margo’s car.
Okay got it
Megumi who has the most luggage has replied to Minaho-neesan.
1. それも別の方向にね.同じ方向の出口じゃ、一つが使えなくなったらもう一つもってことになるでしょ.?
Chapter 118
118. Fugitives
.Then, I’ll keep the dress and shoes. Is there no need for resizing?
Katsuko-nee takes the dress Megu just bought.
Yes, I tried it on properly
Megu answered bashfully.
I will look for the accessories that will fit this. It’s Misuzu-san’s symposium after all. You must dress up!
Katsuko-nee smiles.
Thank you very much.
Megu bows to Katsuko-nee.
Megumi-chan, that’s great.What will Maika wear?
Maika asked but.
Don’t ask about clothes.You’re currently Kidnappedyou know?
Tomorrow’s blouse and uniform for tomorrow.and the underwear was bought a while ago.
Megu took out what she needs from the bag and stuffed it to another bag.
But.What should I do? I don’t have anything prepared but my school uniform. Ah.We bought only underwear a while ago.
I’ll have your change of clothes delivered tomorrow morning
Katsuko-nee said
No, it’s fine. I can just reuse the shirt I’m wearing!
That’s no good! If you don’t clean it.Megumi will be the one laughed at!
Minaho-neesan scolded me!
What other things we should put in your bag?
When Katsuko-nee asked me.
Ah.It’s okay being empty. Tomorrow’s the medical checkup
Really.It saves us that there would be no classes
Minaho-neesan said heartily.
Anyway, the luggage is moved to Margo-san and Katsuko-nee’s car.
Please take care.There might be people who are monitoring the mansion as well
When I say that, Margo-san.
We have to make sure. Mr. Viola’s people might not yet reach us but.Shirasaka house’s people might’ve already intruded
.Would it be okay?
I’m worried at Nei-san who’s left behind the mansion.
It’s okay.the road to the mansion is a private one. That’s why the roads are closed down. If they try to get through it forcibly, they would be trespassing. People from the security would come over them immediately But.won’t that be troublesome for the people who live around the mansion?
Margo-san laughs.
Our mansion is a small hill.there’s six houses around the mansion but there’s no one living there
.Eh? Ah.There’s only one underground worker living in there. There’s only two of the six houses that has an exit directly outside the street. There’s a western-style painter-teacher living there It’s Hama-san.He’s a trustworthy teacher so I’m lending it to him
Minaho-neesan supplements Margo-san.
Un. It’s a camouflage. The other five has documents of people living in there. I’m supposed to be living in on of the houses there
Margo-san is?
That’s right.Whenever I try to go out somewhere alone, I go out of that house on purpose. Ah, the six houses are all connected on the underground passage.Hama-san doesn’t know it though
.That means?
We come out of the houses except the one Hama-san lives in. We come back to the mansion from there. Nei will be moving to my house for tonight. I will be sticking with Nei for a while. I’ll leave the mansion to Katsuko-san and Morimoto-san.
.It can’t be helped. Someone has to play as the watchdog.
Katsuko-nee sighs.
Also.we cannot let Agnesama get hungry
.Agnes?
Minaho-neesan’s.Sixth Toy?
Eh!There’s someone named Agnes in the mansion?
Yes. She’s underground!
.Minaho-neesan?
Underground? If I recall, it was the confinement room isn’t it?
I wonder what kind of meal Nei made?
If you ask that, I left Nei-sama with something I prepared
Katsuko-nee answered Minaho-neesan with a calm face.
Agnesama won’t eat meals unless Nei-sama or I deliver it
I heard that Agnes is Shirasaka Sousuke’s daughter whom he produced to satisfy his own desire.
She has been confined underground all this time.she wasn’t allowed to go to school either.
Why is she in the underground? Is she confined?
Maika asks Minaho-neesan.
Minaho-neesan.
Maika-san.Your secret sister isn’t just Megumi!
Maika trembles in surprise!
You have another.a little sister!
Minaho-neesan.calmly said.
.that’s
Maika’s face looks confused.
Her name is Agnes. Just Agnes. She’s not in the census. She’s been in the basement since her birth
.Why?
Minaho-neesan thought for a while.then answered.
Maika-san.Do you know Tale of Genji’sMurakashi?
Maika.
We took lessons on Tale of Genji but I don’t know the detail
Same.
I think it’s the story of Yoritomo Minamoto defeating Heike and establishes Kamakura Shogunate
To make it simple.Hikari Genji has kidnapped a girl named Murasaki and raised her up to a woman of his taste
Huh.What about Yoritomo? Yoshitsune and Benkei?
A man’s ideal.making his own daughter he raised as a Womanof his taste!
Maika’s eyes opened wide.
There’s no way my Papa?
Minaho-neesan speaks as if sighing.
That’s right.Shirasaka Sousuke created a daughter of his taste.and wants to make that daughter his toy. That’s why Agnes is confined. Since she was born
Maika trembles.
.Shit. Katsuko-nee and Megu embraces Maika from the back.
In the first place.It was my grandfather’s thought plan but.he didn’t make it real. It’s just a mere play.a delusion of an old man. Shirasaka Sousuke has carried that out. For the sake of his own lust!
What a cruel man.
Furthermore.Shirasaka Sousuke thought that he wants to have sex with his own daughter.therefore Agnes’ mother is a French.a very beautiful person. She was forced to give birth to Shirasaka Sousuke’s daughter when she was 17. That was 12 years ago 12 years.Agnes has been underground for that long time?
.Pulled away from her mother, not having any friends.she didn’t receive anything even proper education. She’s just taught nothing but to love Shirasaka Sousuke!
