.Yoshi-kun, I think she’ stalking aboutAriwara no Narihira

Megu who’s listening from the side participates on our conversation.

Oh yeah, that one!

Nei smiles.

Anyway, I don’t know the names when it comes to Kanji! Also, world history having katakana notations. They should just write it in the alphabets. If it’s Japanese, there’s a lot of times where the patterns are getting weird Getting weird?

For example.why does Japanese writeモザート(Mozaato)as モーツァルト(Motsaruto)?1

.What?

That’s how the English US speaks it.I think

Megu says.

In Japan, there’s a rule to express the foreign name in concordance to their home country’s pronunciation as much as possible. It’sモザート(Mozaato)in English speaking countries but it’sモーツァルト(Motsaruto)in German .I never knew.

I thought that theモーツァルト(Motsaruto)was common in the world.

That’s fine but.ジュリアスシーザー(Juriasu Shiza)becomesユリウスカエサル(Yuriusu Kaesaru), I can’t agree with that!2

If I recall.シーザー(Shiza)is an English reading too.3 カエサル(Kaesaru)is pronounced in Latin, I think .Nobody uses Latin nowadays! That’s true but.that’s the rule in Japan. Even the racerミハエルシューマッハ(Mihaeru Shimahha)becomesミヒャエル(Mihiyaeru)in newspapers.4 That seems to be the correct local pronunciation eeh, isn’t that personマイコーシューマッカー(Maiko Shumakka)?

Nei’s pronunciation ofマイケル(Maikeru)isマイコー(Maiko)

That’s also an English reading.I think

Megu said.

That’s an interesting talk

Katsuko-nee joins in.

I just remembered.in the past, when the pope’s name is pronounced as ヨハネパウロ2世(Yohane Pauro Niseibut.when I was watching the CNN broadcast, they were pronouncing it asジョンポールセカンド(Jon poru sekando), I was surprised5

ヨハネパウロ2世(Yohane Pauro nisei)turns toジョンポールセカンド(Jon Poru Sekando)

Somehow, the divinity’s gone and he became a normal person.

Then, ジョージリンゴ3世(Joji Ringo Sansei)is also fine!

Nei said laughing.I don’t get it though.

ジョージ(Jooji)isゲオルギウス(Georugiusu).Butリンゴ(Ringo)is a name that comes out of the Bible, I think

Megu answers seriously

Then, ジョージアップル(Jooji Appuru)is good!

Nei laughs.

.But.

That’s how it is.I don’t even understand things if it’s written in Katakana or in textbooks. You’ll know it right away when spelled in English though

Nei’s got some hadrships too.

Physics and Chemistry books too.酸化(Oxidation) something or リウム(Rim) something, I can’t remember the words. When I bought an English textbook with the same content, I understand it well

True, logical texts are easier to understand in English. If it’s Japanese, it’s a combination of Kanji

Megu said.

Megumi.there’s no need to prolong this talk!

Nei look sat Megu.

How about coming here and be pampered by Yo-chan?

.Huh?

You don’t have to mind me!

But.Nei-oneesan is already at Yoshi-kun’s side Could you stop that subtle honorific! We’re sisters, aren’t we? Well.I know that, but

Nei changed after losing her virginity.

She’s actively trying to be involved with the little sisters as an elder. But, Megu. She seems to be puzzled by Nei’s sudden change.

Or rather.it would be hard for you if you don’t get pampered by Yo-chan by now!

Nei purposely turns her hand on my hips and press her body closer.

Mana and Nagisa-san would be coming in later. Reika-oneesan too. Your rivals would increase!

I.don’t mind

Megu looks down.

Either way, since it’s Megumi.she’ll give up her seat next to Yo-chan when Mana comes in, right?

Perhaps that would happen.

Mana’s a girl who doesn’t hold back so.if that happens, she’ll probably monopolize Yo-chan all night!

Nufufu, Nei laughs at Megu.

.I don’t mind either way

Hmm, is that so? Tomorrow, Misuzu and Michi-chan would also show up. I’ve seen her during lunch earlier but.Ruriko’s quite stubborn too I’m fine. Doesn’t bother me

Megu bluffs.

Could it be that you think.The school will resume after the holidays are over so I can have that? Megumi’s in the same class as Yo-chan after all!

i don’t

Megu answers.

But you see.I also go to the same school.Megumi’s busy with her club activities. I can monopolize Yo-chan after school!

Hugging me from behind.Nei kisses behind my ear.

.that’s?

Megu panics.

Also.the classroom won’t be Megu’s heaven anymore! Edie’s probably going to be transferred to the same class as you?

.I see.

Edie’s going to our school, right. Edie’s the same age as me and Megu.

Then.who would look after her inside the school?

Err.me?

I think that will be.

True. Yo-chan’s got to teach her attentively about Japan’s high school rules!

Nei looks at Megu mischievously.

I’ll do that instead. I don’t want the burden to increase only for Yoshi-kun!

Megu speaks in a slightly strong voice.

Hmm.then, how about deepening your relationship with Edie starting now?

Nei says in a deliberate blunt tone.

Megumi’s a tactful girl, right?

Megu gasps.

How about you think various things ahead of time? Or rather, if you’re just going to sit there and watch me flirt with Yo-chan in hate then go sit next to Yo-chan! Yo-chan’s opening his right side for you! You didn’t even notice that?

Nei said with a smooth smile.

Her words are harsh but there’s no thorns. I think this is also Nei’s expression of love for her sisters.

.Sorry

Megu drops down and lowers her head to Nei.

Megumi.you’re more expressive than you think yourself. Your face shows what you’re thinking. Though you may be self-controlling and suppressing yourself.

.I see.

I think Nei’s analysis is correct.

You think thatI just have to put up with itbut.that’s, not patience. What’s in your heart is fully exposed to others.putting up with it arbitrarily and showing a bad mood.is quite detestable

.I’m doing that? You do! Try to learn from Misuzu! That girl’s quite aggressive but she never do anything vulgar like leaking out her bad emotions inside her! Misuzu-san’s a lady of Kouzuki house Are you an idiot? What part of Misuzu are you looking at?

Nei scolds Megu with harshness different than before.

Misuzu’s elegance got nothing to do with her house. Yesterday, you’ve seen the men of Kouzuki clan, didn’t you? They’re all children of decent family but.was there elegance in them?

.No

Megu answers.

Misuzu’s always concerned about the people around her! Making sure that she doesn’t offend someone. She’s got that kindness and sensibility.that’s why she has elegance!

That’s right.Misuzu is.

She’s constantly concerned about the people around her. Even her own family.Jii-chan, Ruriko, and even Michi. It’s quite a bit pushy, but. She thinks what’s the best choice for everyone and acts accordingly.

Misuzu’s a girl who doesn’t put herself as the first

I murmur.

Hearing that.Megu’s shocked.

True. Even today, she was thinking about Michi and Ruriko that she suggested a lot of things. Her believe is a bit strong so she speaks impertinently, but.Misuzu’s always thinking of other girls first Nei said.

Therefore.Misuzu is completely spoiled when she’s alone with Yo-chan. She can get her mind and body naked only to Yo-chan. She trusts Yo-chan from the bottom of her heart.she loves him. Her usual self-control is blown away and she gets herself spoiled by Yo-chan to the fullest. She’s cute, isn’t she.Yo-chan?
