Shou-oneesan said.

It’s better if we don’t show Rei-chan what’s about to happen. That girl is a bit too pure

Yeah.

What’s about to happen in this mansion isn’t based on fair justice or law

The correct way is to deliver Shirasaka Sousuke to the police and reveal all his sins through a trial.

Then, Shirasaka Sousuke will receive appropriate punishment under Japan’s law. But. Our hatred won’t disappear from just a trial

Megu said.

Besides, there’s a lot of people who don’t want the public to know what Shirasaka Sousuke had done to them

Misuzu said.

Yes, for example, Nagisa. Nagisa’s a retired prostitute and now a manager of an ordinary flower shop. In public court, she has to state testimonies about the past where she was kidnapped, raped, and turned to a prostitute. What will happen to Mao-chan, Nagisa’s daughter? Does she have to announce that she’s a child from rape and that her father is unknown? It’s not just Nagisa. Minaho-neesan had liberated the girls from the mansion last year, most of them have another life that is not prostitution We can’t break these people’s lives. I think that what’s about to happen is a brutal lynching. Even so, if they don’t reach the end, Kuromori-sama’s mind won’t clear up, right?

Shou-oneesan said.

I think it’ll be a brutal lynching that her mind won’t listen to holding back. I don’t want Rei-chan to see that

Yeah, that’s why we also decided to isolate Ruriko and Mao-chan.

I don’t want these girls to know the darkest side deep inside a person. Rei-chan still believes that justice will always win. She’s too pure as a guard. She doesn’t know that our work plays the lousy role in the underground society. Therefore, chief Yazawa never let her team up with anyone Shou-oneesan said. Of course, that’s not a bad thing. There’s a lot of people who don’t know the dirty world, that thinks that adults can’t be wrong, those that only see the life on the beautiful center stage. I want Rei-chan to stay as the pure guard Shou-oneesan’s considerate of Reika from the bottom of her heart. That girl is a flower. I want her to think that Kouzuki security service is only on the surface Yeah. I think you should

It’s okay for Reika to stay straightforward.

Uhm, I’ve talked with Kuromori-sama earlier

Misuzu said.

She wants Reika-oneesama to wait with Ruriko and Mao-chan Oh, everyone’s thinking the same thing then

Shou-oneesan said.

You haven’t talked to Minaho-neesan yet? Yes, I haven’t met her yet

Undoubtedly she’s preparing for the revenge.

Shou-oneesama, you’re going to spectate as well?

Misuzu asks.

I’m the lead of Kouzuki security service. I know that I have no choice but to touch the dirty world. I’m ready to swallow muddy water, besides

Shou-oneesan looks at me.

I’m worried about you

Me?

You’ll be jumping together in the flame of Kuromori-sama’s hatred. When Kuromori-sama and everyone stops the brakes of her heart, it’s possible that it will burden you too

Unlike Minaho-neesan and everyone else, I don’t have a deep hatred against Shirasaka Sousuke.

Of course, there’s strong anger on Shirasaka Sousuke for what he did to my family. But, I’ve never even faced Shirasaka Sousuke directly. I don’t have the burning hatred of Minaho-neesan and everyone else. I’m scared that the high tension of the people around you affects your spirit Are we thinking about the possibility of everyone other than Danna-sama behaving recklessly?

Misuzu asks.

Yes. A bit But, Kyouko-san and Margo-san will be watching over everyone on the venue

They’ll stop when the atmosphere becomes dangerous.

Shou-oneesan shakes her head on what I said. I know how eccentric criminals like Kyouko Messer are. That person is the most dangerous to lose all restraint

Oh, I see.

Kyouko-san’s definitely the scariest when she snaps. Margo-san too, she’s lived with Kuromori-sama and everyone for a long time, so we don’t know whether she can see the situation objectively or not That’s why Shou-oneesan? Yes, I decided to monitor it from the next room

Then, when the situation becomes dangerous, she can come right away.

I think just having an outsider breaking through the door will have the boiling air relax

Shou-oneesan thought that far.

Yeah, thank you. I’ll be relying on you then Well then, I will also observe in the next room with Shou-oneesan

Misuzu said.

I’ve been thinking about where should I be watching, but I think that it is the best way to keep from interfering everyone. Kuromori-sama has told me to observe with Shou-oneesama Misuzu. Are you sure? Misuzu can stay with Ruriko, Mao-chan, and Rei-chan too

Speaking frankly, I don’t want Misuzu to see the revenge either.

But Misuzu; I want to see everything properly. I’ll let Ruriko be the pure princess

She looks straight at me.

I’d like to fulfill my duty as Danna-sama’s woman. In case needed, I have Kuromori-sama’s permission to stop them

Oh right, she had that agreement with Minaho-neesan

Misuzu holds my hand. Misuzu and Shou-oneesama will stay in the next room so Danna-sama won’t be swallowed by the atmosphere. If anything happens, we’ll come right away

Misuzu’s worried about me.

I wonder if I should stay here instead?

Michi speaks up.

Oh, Michi’s supposed to go to school to monitor Edie. We’ve already settled that earlier, Michi

Misuzu tells Michi.

I’m very sorry

Michi bows her head right away.

Listen. I’d like to confirm it with you once again

Shou-oneesan speaks to me.

What you’ll be doing from now on isn’t justice. In reality, it’s something you must never do

This is an individual avenging another in one-sided prosecution and execution.

I know, we’re going to do the wrong thing

I am a member of a crime syndicate.

What we’ll do is a criminal offense of violating human life. I’ve made my resolve to commit a crime

I answered.

Actually, what Yukino told me earlier is right. I’ve done criminal acts to Yukino that I must pay for it. It’s impossible to serve Yukino for the rest of my life but, I should be in prison, beaten by a whip, or receive some sort of punishment, usually Agnes who’s listening to me looked up. But, I decided not to pay for my sins towards Yukino. I will shoulder this sin for the rest of my life. I will show an impassive face whatever happens in the future. After all, I have a family Agnes hugs me tighter. I’ll do anything no matter how horrifying it is just to protect my family. I’m prepared to overcome no issue how scary it is, I’ve made my resolve already

I

Sins or atonement can eat shit

Shou-oneesan smiles at me.

If it’s a politician or head of a company then double standard is a big problem but, I think that’s okay. We’re people from the underground world, so everyone’s already filled with trying to live before they concern themselves on justice or something Then, she laughed. Even though I hated that way of thinking before. I even hated Kakka and Chief Yazawa when I see them dealing with another party with a double standard. But, I can now understand it. That’s because I was a lonely woman with nobody to protect but myself Shou-oneesan. I can understand why you and your family are close. You can’t say it’s unfair or double standards. Whatever happens, we must protect our family

That’s right.

If it’s for the family, then I Hm?

Michi suddenly begins to rub my shoulder.

what’s up, Michi? Master is too strained

Michi whispers to my ear.

Life is, as long as you can reach it with your hands, then one must do their best
