One of the reporters calls Yukino, doing all or nothing.

What? You watched it out of curiosity, didn’t you? You perverted old man! I mean, everyone in this press conference is all men! that’s because they didn’t let us participate unless we send in a male reporter I don’t know about that!

Yukino’s anger doesn’t stop.

I mean, weren’t you from entertainment? And you’re from Sanja Family right? I know it! Thanks for watching us all the time! That’s not what I’m talking about! Why is it only entertainment reporters here at my press conference? Are you all stupid or something?

Yukino said. One of the reporters:

Well, Shirasaka house dominates the media company, your father is in the advertising agency too It was my great-granduncle who was managing the television station and the newspaper! Do you get it? It’s the sibling of my Grandfather! My house has nothing to do with them! Even Papa who was working for an advertising agency, what about it? I’ve got nothing to do with the entertainment industry However, Shirasaka Sousuke-san’s harm has reached a lot of celebrities Idiot! Go jump off the building and die you, idiot!

Yukino.

Papa committed a sin so now I have to carry that sin too? You people are the same as those who kidnapped me, raped me, and uploaded all those videos. You aren’t different! No, we’re doing this because the people have the right to know You mean that the whole country has the right to watch me get raped?

Yukino said.

I was just a high school student! A high school girl!

Her angry face glares at the camera.

Why do I have to get through all this!

Then.

That’s what we would like to know Isn’t that why we were gathered here? That’s right, this is your press conference! You said that you want to talk Yeah, we came here to listen to your story! Why do you have to call curses on us suddenly That’s right! That’s right!

The reporters are firing up too.

I want to talk, you said?

Yukino shows a wry smile.

Of course not

She glares.

Even now, I was forced to come here wearing this stupid outfit

Yukino.

Do you not even think that gathering in this stupid place, surrounded by idiots is strange? This situation? You don’t even understand the abnormalities?

The announcer;

Err, this is all instructed by our boss. We’re very sorry to show you something so unsightly. We’re very sorry

The reporters get noisy.

We’re all under their control you know!

Yukino said.

Chapter 557

Chapter 557. Houun Takashi Castle (Part 3)

Uhm, I’m Nishikawa from East-West Newspaper

We continue to watch from the screen.

There’s a man in a business suit among the press gallery room raises his hand.

What?

Yukino who’s wearing the minimum swimsuit glares at him.

This is a concrete castle in the outskirts of Tokyo, inside of a spacious outdoor studio.

The strange news conference continues on the lighted up ruins.

Yukino’s hair is blown by the evening wind of May.

I didn’t understand well what you said a while ago It’s better if you don’t know!

Yukino said.

You all are just being toyed around by people holding greater powers

Nishikawa:

Do you refer to the violent organization your father was involved in?

Yukino bursts into laughter.

Are you an idiot? Nobody’s referring to that level!

Then, she looked at the reporters.

It’s those people who suddenly changed the best time at a regular broadcast for the television stations to an emergency news program! It’s them! Can a gang do something like this?

Yukino grins.

My Papa was in an advertising agency so I can tell somehow but unless you’re a business or a company you can’t buy a former broadcasting space or have someone connected to advertising bow his head, right? After all, this broadcast is live now without sponsors. There are no commercials. Is it not even a problem of breach of contract you know? It’s a problem related to the trust of the station That’s, the television station is under Shirasaka house’s control so weren’t they doing this fulfill their accountabilities!

One of the reporters tells Yukino.

You’re too dumb. If I were the president of a television station, then I would broadcast on early Sunday morning where nobody’s watching. Isn’t that the norm? There’s no need to do things this large-scale. It’s better to play dead and wait for the world to forget the case. In the first place, isn’t it strange to see that the head of Shriasaka house, Moritsugu Oji-chan overthrown and replaced by another person, right? There shouldn’t be this boost until the new management bothers the sponsor companies. If you think about it, then you’ll know! Then what?

The reporters snapped and told Yukino.

You don’t get it? Which company are you from? I’m Kuroda from Every Morning Newspaper Hmm, then I’ll tell you. The reason our conversation now is broadcasted nationwide is to put pressure on the television stations. It’s the people who have the stupidly huge power to threaten Shirasaka house The reporters fell silent. Even you guys, you were suddenly ordered by people in your company to come to this interview, so you came to such an outskirt studio in Tokyo? Do you not even think of that as strange?

Yukino provokes the reporters.

Your companies are also pressured by those people

One reporter stands up.

Don’t be ridiculous! We’re the press! That’s right! We won’t give in to any pressure! The press has a conscience! That’s right, we came here because it’s work to cover the news! That’s right! It’s natural for reporters to come to cover the news! You’re talking nonsense! In the first place, do you even know how much of a topic the series of Shirasaka Sousuke’s events in the country are now?

Yukino speaks calmly.

I have no way of knowing, you know? Because I was kidnapped and raped for almost the whole golden week!

Yukino’s eyes accumulate tears.

That’s right! I was raped1 I couldn’t watch the TV check newspapers or internet! I didn’t have time for that!

She speaks to the reporters in front of her.

The reporters are puzzled by the tears of the 16-year-old girl.

No, we might’ve said some things too strongly But you see, the world was making an uproar from what your father did! That’s right. The people won’t settle unless we reveal the full picture of the incident! Yeah. You must answer our questions seriously! Because you’re Shirasaka Sousuke’s daughter, you were the core part of the incident, so you know things, don’t you? That’s right! You have to talk!

Yukino spits.

Never! In the first place, why do I have to entertain you people who are just curious onlookers? I’m the victim here! I’d never talk to scums like you people!

The reporters heat up from the blatant hostility.

But! Your father had caused a significant incident that will remain in Japan’s criminal history! That’s right! We are here because the people have the right to know! You have an obligation to speak That’s right! Earlier, you keep talking about Them, Those guys, do you know who they are? What did they do to you? You should explain first from there! That’s right, you should talk in chronological detail, so it’s easier to understand! Yeah! We have the responsibility to tell the facts to the viewers!

Yukino’s given up.

Hah? Right to know? Responsibility to convey facts? Then I’ll tell you one thing

Yukino’s flames of hatred burns.

I was a 16-year-old first-year high school student, kidnapped and raped. I lost my virginity. I don’t even know how many times I was raped, perhaps I’m already pregnant. I mean, I sure am pregnant with the child of the man who raped me Yukino touches her naked abdomen.
