.Yukino herself?

.I’ve placed a trap for her. And.if she takes hostile actions against us.she’ll be disposed with her father

.Disposed

Didn’t I tell you before?That girl’s going to fall to a life where she sells her body for threeUmaibou.

Oh.selling her as a cheap prostitute in the slums of south east Asia.

If that girl’s rotten to her core.then she’ll stop being pregnant. I don’t want a baby coming from such a human!

.Minaho-neesan.

A replacement for Naomi.No, it might be a substitute for my child that was aborted but, the feeling of me wanting a baby doesn’t change. But, thanks to you, the situation has changed. Even if you don’t force Yukino to be pregnant.Nei, Megumi, or Misuzu-san or any other would give birth to a baby after a few years. Oh.Nagisa and Katsuko are going ahead. It feels like there’s no longer a need to hurry!

If the forced pregnancy plan is gone.Yukino’s discarded

Of course.if that girl acted how I know she would on the trap I devised.I’ll take care of her until her birth next year. I’ll let her to go school. After that.I can even give her back to her mother’s house What’s going to happen to Yukino?

Isn’t that enough? Leave Yukino to Minaho-san and Yoshi-kun can just forget about her!

Megu said.

.But.is that okay, Megu?

It’s okay. I hate that girl!

Megu’s a girl who’s been oppressed by Yukino.

.But.

Megu.it’s your sister?

.I don’t need that kind of sister

Megu rejects.

I already have a new family with Yoshi-kun A real family!

Margo-san.

Whispers to Megu.

.Megumi-chan, that part of you is exactly like Yukino-san

Megu shivers.

i!

True, it is as Margo said. Megumi’s very similar to Yukino-san

Minaho-neesan said.

.We’re not similar! Not Yukino and I!

Megu desperately denies, but.

No. You do. Like the way you think.or how obstinate the two of you are

Margo-san said.

Of course.Megumi-chan isn’t arrogant, or selfish like Yukino-san.above all, you’re a girl who understands other people. Yukino-san isn’t interested in anyone but herself

Margo-san analyzes

Minaho-neesan continues.

But.you two are similar. Your face and style are different, but. Your ears and fingers are similar. Even with gestures, you often do same things. As expected, you’re sisters!

Hearing that.Megu’s body trembles.

Sisters.having the same father. Shirasaka Sousuke’s daughters.

Hey, Megumi, maybe you should think aboutwhat if you swapped positions with Yukino-sanat least once?

Minaho-neesan tells Megu.

If ever you were the daughter of Shirasaka house.and Yukino-san was the illegitimate child. If you were born in opposite positions and grew on each environments.are you confident to not have the character Yukino-san have?

.I

Megu looks down

.She won’t

I said.

Megu and Yukino are different. If she’s born as a lady of Shiraska house, Megu is still Megu. She’s a kind girl. She won’t become like Yukino!

.Yoshi-kun!

Megu clings to me.

I also hug Megu gently.

My.why can you say so?

Minaho-neesan asks me.

Because.she’s Mana’s precedent

I declared.

Even if they’re sisters of the same house.Yukino and Mana are different. Mana’s definitely selfish like Yukino but, Mana’s a girl who care for other people. Unlike Yukino

Yukino and Mana-chan’s difference isn’t just kindness but also intellect. Yukino-san’s a stupid who doesn’t understand other people’s feelings

Margo-san said.

Humans aren’t dependent on the environment only.what that person has, of course, their intelligence as well.even with individual power, their fate would change

.That’s right.

You can change your own destiny with your own power.

Therefore, Minaho threatened Megumi-chan a bit. When it comes to the two, Megumi-chan is much more clever. On the other hand, Yukino-san’s much more entertaining!

MArgo-san tries to soften it up with a joke.

True, I said too much.but, think about it Megumi. You’re prejudice against Yukino-san, is basically Hating the same kind!

Megu trembles in my arms.

Anyway.let’s have dessert!

Katsuko-nee said in a loud voice.

I’ll go bring ice cream!

Katsuko, I don’t need it.I’ll return to work

Minaho-neesan said.and went out of the room.

.Minaho, you really treasure Megumi-chan

Margo-san said.

Megumi-chan is Keiko-san’s daughter.a daughter born in thismansionso I think of her as special. Minaho.isn’t this harsh to Mana and Misuzu-san

I think so too.

Because the other party is Megu.she purposely speak bluntly.

What Minaho’s telling Megumi has been consistent. In short.Take a look at what kind of person you are

.I

Megumi who’s face is buried in my chest.looks up.

You can’t do anything about your past, your birth and your upbringing. It’s meaningless even if you deny it. You have to accept things you can’t do anything against. Even if you deny or try to forget reality.the past would chase you forever. If you don’t accept it first.you can’t change for the good Listening to Margo-san’s words.I ask Megu.

Megu.do you hate Yukino?

.I hate her

Megu replies immediately

Why do you hate her? Was it because you were bullied? Do you hate her personality? Is it because she’s the daughter of Shirasaka house? Or is it simply because you hate Yukino’s face?

.All I get it. But, I think that you shouldn’t go with all. If you don’t divide the reason you hate her.you’ll become someone who hate Yukino by reflec I’m fine just hating Yukino I don’t want Megu to become a girl with such crude sense .Yoshi-kun Yukino’s basically hopeless but.she’s got kindness in her too Yoshi-kun.do you like Yukino?

Megu looks up at me.

Like I said, you shouldn’t look with that kind of sense!

.I

My father disappeared at the morning of the high school entrance ceremony

.I remember.

I was hopelessly uneasy.I don’t know what to do, that I was trembling in the classroom

.My meeting with Yukino.

Then, Yukino was the one who called me out, askingwhat’s wrong!

Megu’s face stiffens.

Sorry.I didn’t notice it

I see.

Megu was in that classroom too.

I’m not talking about that.Megu

.What I want to say is

That day.Yukno was kind. That girl’s got some kind part in her too!

I don’t love Yukino.

I definitely don’t think of Yukino as family. .But. I don’t think that Yukino should be abandoned.

.Yukino doesn’t remember calling me out that day

Yukino only lives on the moment.

She acts what she thinks at the moment.and mostly forget about it. She’s that kind of woman.

But, I’m indebt to her.there’s no mistake about that

Katsuko-nee brings the homemade ice cream from the kitchen.

She puts it on plates.and stick in wafers. It’s a full-fledged vanilla ice cream.

Okay, everyone, come and get yours!

Katsuko-nee gives out the dishes

Just as thought.miss Edie came to pick up Agnes’ share. She handed it to Agnes.showing an expressionThis is delicious! Looking at Edie lick the ice cream while smiling. Agnes also eats ice cream Then.she’s in wonder of the coldness, sweetness, and the deliciousness!

Ah, tell Edie-san that there’s no refill for ice cream!

Katsuko-nee tells Nei.

If you eat too much cold food, your stomach would hurt

Okay!

Nei speaks to Edie in English.

Edie looks dissatisfied but.Kyouko-san and miss Cordelia said something, and she became quiet.

.What did they tell Edie?

I ask Nei.

They saidaskng for another ice cream, this is why you’re still a brat! Then, she got dejected
