I tell Megu with a strong tone.
I’m also a bit nervous.
It suits you. Isn’t that obvious that it suits you!
I embrace Megu tightly!
Yoshi-kun.this is embarrassing
Don’t be.we love each other
Megu’s stiffness is being softened in my arms.
The girl’s body softens, loosens. As if she’s melting from my body temperature.
.Yoshi-kun
Megu embraces me too.
.Did you calm down?
.Un
I let go of her.
I look straight at Megu.
I think that Megu’s cute. I think you’re beautiful. That’s why, it’s fine. It’s okay for Megu to be here
.But
It’ll be fine. If someone complains to Megu, I’ll beat them up. If you want, I’ll shout at everyone coming from the door. I’ll shoutMy Megu is cute!
Megu’s eyes turned moist.
.That dress. I can tell the reason why Minaho-nesan asks us to buy it. That’s a reward given by Minaho-neesan to me who worked with my body. It’s a dress I bought from my pay
.Un The girls here right now might be wearing a much more expensive dress but that doesn’t matter
.I
if Megu wears a luxurious dress now.I think perhaps, Minaho-neesan can easily prepare such a high-class dress for Megu
And yet.She purposely made Megu and I buy a dress.
With the set amount of money provided.
But.what would Megu think if she wears a high-class dressed that’s just borrowed?
.Perhaps, I would be more embarrassed. I don’t think I’m suited to wear a dress having a price I can’t reach
Megu answers.
What do you think about the dress you’re wearing now?
When I asked her.Megu touches her own dress.
I think that even this is too expensive for a girl like me. Really. But, this is the dress Yoshi-kun bought for me
That’s right.it’s the dress we both picked. You know the price don’t you? Un.I do. This dress is the most suitableclothingfor me now .That’s right. That’s why, puff out with pride and be dignified.Megu
I hold Megu’s hand.
For me.for Megu herself. Minaho-neesan has thought a lot for Megu!
I kiss the back of Megu’s hand.
Thank you.Yoshi-kun
I look at my suit.
Even I just borrowed this clothes. I’m glad that it’s borrowed. It’s not mine. This is Minaho-neesan’s grandfather’s suit.then, Katsuko-nee adjusted the size, filling it with love. I’m really glad wearing such clothes .Yoshi-kun?
I wasn’t given new quality goods.
No, if I’m told to buy a high-class suit.I would perhaps reject it. Therefore. Minaho-neesan and Katsuko-nee.planned to borrow the late Kuromori Kounosuke-san’s clothes. They thought that I would accept it if it’s borrowed from the dead. Furthermore, Katsuko-nee changed the size to fit me in secret. If they didn’t go that far.I might’ve gone to the theater on my usual student clothes.
For now.I can only borrow clothes. That is my reality. Therefore.I accept that reality. Upon acceptance, I live dignified among the upper-class people!
Megu’s wearing cheap dress.
I’m wearing a borrowed suit. That is our reality. Let’s accept that. Then.let’s face up the world of high-class aware of your own unbecoming.
There’s nothing to be afraid of.we’re wearing clothes we deserve right now
Un.you’re right
Megu said.
I grew up from a poor house. This is my first time wearing fine clothing. This is the dress Yoshi-kun bought for me. Right now, this is the only suitable dress
Megu dearly slides her fingers on the fabric of the dress.
I’m here right now.no. No matter how embarrassed I am, I am here, confidently. This is the best suitedfine clothesfor me now
That’s right.Megu
I’m thankful for Minaho-neesan’s deep thought.
I thank Katsuko-nee’s affection. .This is fine. .This should do. Mana shows up smiling.
Megu-oneechan’s the only one Onii-chan bought a dress for.I’m jelly You even have a ring?
Megu’s finger has our engagement ring shining.
I’ll buy Mana some too.
I promise.
Eh.really?
Or rather.I’ve got to work hard to earn money. I’ll be the one to shoulder out living expenses
It’s not on the same level as a dress or a ring.
Even socks and underwear.I have to buy those in the future.
.Onii-chan
Mana seems to have remembered it too.
She can no longer go back to Shirasaka house. She can no longer to go school. Mana has no choice but to live with me. Thatrealityreappears to Mana’s head again.
Yoshi-kun, I’ll also work partime.so you only have to think about Mana
Megu said but.
I’d like Megu to do her best in her club activities.
Mana will also work partime
Mana’s downhearted.
Middle school girls can’t get a job. For the time being, help out Katsuko-nee
.Un
I spread my arms and embrace them.
There’s no need to worry that much. Let’s think about the details once this commotion settles down. We have to consult Minaho-neesan about this too
You’re right.Yoshi-kun Got it.Onii-chan
They replied.
Therefore.forget about everything that makes you anxious and let’s cheer for Misuzu. Misuzu’s an Onee-san amongSister’s associationisn’t she?
Mana.
Un! Mana will cheer hard!
.Then
.My?
A girl’s voice can be heard from my back.
.No way?
What’s wrong, Sugawara-san? No.isn’t that Shirasaka Maika on that sofa over there?
Mana.
.Uu!
Her complexion changed
.Do you know them?
I asked her whisperingly.
They’re Sugawara and Taki-san from the same class
Mana is also a student of an Ojou-sama school.
There’s a high possibility of her coming across with her classmates in this place. We did imagine that situation but. When you’re in there.you don’t know how to respond.
No way.there’s no way Maika-san would come
You’re right.there’s no way she would come to public like that after what happened to her father
That is the perception of the people.
After all, the mass media exposed the scandals of Shirasaka Sousuke last night. A crime of a famous family known as Shirasaka. A sex scandal that involved the show business world. Furthermore, kidnaping, rape, murder. The sensational topic isn’t lacking. Mana is the daughter of the criminal, Shirasaka Sousuke.
The people from Shirasaka house doesn’t seem to be here today
Eh, Takako-san too? Yes.isn’t it embarrassing to be on the same family as Shirasaka? Well, that might be the case If Moritsugu-sama hasn’t spoken in the press conference to protect Shirasaka Sousuke.wait, Takako-san was crying over the phone She was looking forward to the symposium today
Mana.
Takako-san.sorry
.A relative? A younger cousin. She’s also doing Japanese dance. She’s on a different school but.she was looking forward to watch today.
Mana feels depressed.
But still.doesn’t that girl look like Maika-san?
Un, they do look alike but. What? Shirasaka Maika-san won’t be coming in such clothes I think
Mana’s dress today is prepared by Katsuko-nee, it shows a lot of skin.
Her make-up and hair style are both flashy. You won’t think it’s vulgar but. Katsuko-nee likes to go sexy route.
You’re right, after her father causing such a incident.she won’t wear something stupid like that
She’s someone else. The people next to her are wearing cheap dresses too. People from Shirasaka house would wear much more expensive clothes
Hey hey.this time, they begin to criticize Megu’s dress.
But, the two rich ladies are really loud.
From which house are they from?
Somehow.they feel likecommoner who forced themselves to come Aren’t most of the dancers commoners? You’re right. They must be people who came by mistake because they had invitation tickets by chance Today’s symposium isn’t that kind of party isn’t it?
