Onii-sama, what should I think about in the future? Future Yes, Onii-sama has great power now, what would use this power for?
Power?
No, I don’t have any power
I’m a dumb guy
I don’t have any athletic ability. No, Onii-sama has the wisdom and courage, authority, assets, and even violence, everything
Huh?
Kuromori-sama and Katsuko-oneesama have the intellect. Kouzuki house’s authority and wealth. Kyouko-sama’s fighting power. Onii-sama has the potential to influence both the surface and the underground world!
I smile wryly
That’s the power Minaho-neesan has in Kuromori, that has nothing to do with me What are you talking about, Onii-sama’s the center of all the powers connected. Onii-sama’s in the middle, so that’s why we’re stable Is that so?
I’m just a normal high school student1
I’m even inferior to other people. I’m already filled with the thoughts of what I have to do
Ruriko smiles.
What you have to do? Yeah. First would be searching a school Mana could transfer. I’m also worried about Megu’s clubmates, worried about Michi and Edie. Also, of course, Agnes-chan and Rei-chan too. Also What is it?
She’s not here so, how is Yukino doing?
Since she has an amazing nerve, she could be sleeping soundly under a blanket. I’m worried about Minaho-neesan
It had a good result to have her away from the mansion for one night, but;
Minaho-neesan’s revenge will be finished this evening. Also, I’m of course worried about Ruriko and Yoshiko-san too thank you
Ruriko blushed.
Jii-chan too, I hope he doesn’t get dispirited
Jii-chan’s also my family.
I have to resolve each and one of them
Yeah
I’m already doing all my best on those. That’s the only thing I can do after all
I don’t have the time to think about the future.
Onii-sama, do you not have a dream or purpose in life? For now, a bakery
I declared.
A bakery? Yeah, I promised Katsuko-nee, besides, I have to work and earn money Why? Because money’s needed for Megu and Mana’s tuition and other expenses So Onii-sama will make bread for those?
Ruriko’s surprised.
Yeah, I’ll make bread and sell it. That’s all I can think of, for now, either way, Katsuko-nee has decided to make a shop. I have to help her. Ah, I will help out in Nagisa’s shop too Onii-sama? Ah, don’t misunderstand, Mana and Megu doesn’t have parents now, so I have to earn their tuition and living expenses but, I’ll make for Ruriko as well For me too? Yeah, that’s obvious. You’re also my woman However, Kouzuki-sama’s put out my support cost
Oh, Jii-chan did say that. He said he’ll pay hundreds of millions a year?
That’s on its own, well, I can deposit it to Minaho-neesan and Katsuko-nee. But, I want to earn money for you
If not, I’m not a man.
Either way, the money I earn will be divided evenly and handed to everyone. I don’t have any hobbies nor wants
The problem is whether I can feed everyone with the wage I earn from the bakery or not.
Well, Katsuko-nee’s going to manage the bakery. I will just do all my best. Is that okay with you, Onii-sama?
Ruriko asks.
Obviously it is. Isn’t that what it means to live with everyone? To be happy together?
That’s what I think.
My aim is just that. To make everyone live happily. For that, I will do everything one by one. That’s all I can do so there’s no choice but to do it
I accepted my family.
I definitely don’t want to let go of them. I’m moved
Ruriko said.
Onii-sama is like this that’s why Katsuko-oneesama, Nagisa-sama, Kuromori-sama are so attached to Onii-sam I guess. I’m unreliable after all
I can’t do anything without them.
I’m grateful to my elder sisters That’s not true, Onii-sama’s very strong
Ruriko smiles at me.
Hey, it’s about time you free him up, the other girls will get angry if you don’t
Katsuko-nee comes and tells Ruriko.
Ah, I’m sorry
I
Ruriko too, if you want to do something then tell me. I’ll help you out Onii-sama? Don’t hold yourself for me. It’s Ruriko’s life after all ! I will make you happy as well. Definitely!
Ruriko hugs me.
Tightly, strongly I already am Then I will make you even happier Yes
Ruriko kisses my forehead kindly.
This person guards the base so we can attack more outside
Katsuko-nee tells Ruriko.
If you get tired and come home, he will come to heal you. He will never betray his family. He will always smile and hug you Yes, Katsuko-oneesama
Ruriko smiles at me.
Let’s have Onii-sama stay in the center of the house! That’s how it is, if he’s at home, we can fight outside in peace What do you mean, Katsuko-nee?
I don’t get what Katsuko-nee’s talking about.
Hmm, even if you make bread in my bakery, you must devote to production Huh? You see, in a bakery, there’s a shop-front seller, there are other girls better than you in that, right? No, I’ll do it alone Look, in a bakery, you must make bread quickly all day
What?
In mornings, you make breakfast bread, during lunch, lunch bread. Afternoon, snacks. At nights, you make bread for a take-home or French bread. Depending on the type of day, you have to make different kinds of bread, make, bake, make bake, a repetition of it I see
I see it’s different from convenience store’s bread.
I must contest with freshly baked bread. That’s why, you make the bread in the bakery, or instead there’s a lot of candidates for a cute girl seller
Ah, that’s true.
Instead of me, Megu, Mana, Nei, are all beauties. It will sell more if the sellers are women. You can make bread, and when you’re free, play with Mao-chan and other girls. We’ll deal with the business side
Katsuko-nee smiles.
Yeah, I’ll leave that to Katsuko-nee and others of course
I don’t think I have a business sense
Katsuko-nee looks at RUriko. He will protect the home in that manner. The place we come home is his place, so you understand what’s for the best, right?
Ruriko
True, it certainly might He’s such an honest and kind person. It’s dangerous to let him out carelessly
What?
Am I that useless? That’s not it, but look, it would be troublesome if you get caught by a strange girl
Katsuko-nee laughs.
Katsuko-oneesama, you’ve already thought of a specific plan for it
Ruriko’s admiring
Well, of course, it’s our future after all
Katsuko-nee laughs.
By the way, my bakery and Nagisa’s flower shop will be in the same building. We’ll be buying the whole building. We’ll be living on the upper floor. Then we’ll make a big bath just like this one so everyone can come in. I’m still talking to Nagisa on which place will that be Katsuko-nee seems to be promoting the plan she was talking about before. Then, what would you do, Ruriko-san? Yes?
Ruriko’s surprised.
Do you want to make contributions using Kouzuki-sama’s money? Uhm You’re a much more business-minded woman than Misuzu-san
Ruriko’s shocked.
I don’t mind if the building we buy would have something other than a bakery and a flower shop
Does that mean?
Ruriko-san’s the type that wants to do her own business than us who want to be nurtured by him, right?
Katsuko-nee laughs and looks into Ruriko’s eyes.
That might be
Ruriko admits.
Then, think about it, you don’t need to do it now. Well, considering the preparation period and the refurbishment of the building, let’s make the goal for about a year Thank you very much
Ruriko bows her head.
