I can’t think of how can I live from then on.
I couldn’t see the future.
Though I’m told to make Yukino pregnant, I didn’t feel that I’ll still be alive next year and raise the child born. All I had was this dark feeling of wanting to have proof that I’m alive, by pouring my sperm inside Yukino I didn’t consider the child at all. Minaho-neesan said that she’ll raise Yukino’s child. Thus, I didn’t think much about if that was the case. No, I decided not to think about it
I intentionally avoided thinking of it.
Nagisa said that she’ll bear my child, but she’s really a mother, so I thought that she could raise the child well. She’d advice me on what should I do in any case
Nagisa’s older than me, and she’s reliable.
Therefore, I imagined raising a child with Nagisa.
The other women are drinking pills, so I think they’ll bear children years later
Therefore, even if they say I want to get pregnant, is just a desire, they’re not looking at the reality in front of their eyes.
This is a heavy reality.
I didn’t forget the possibility of Yukino getting pregnant, but I was desperately erasing it from my head, after all.
I.
I know that I can’t live together with Yukino anymore
Yukino isn’t family.
Yukino’s pride won’t allow it.
The other women hold deep hate for Yukino.
I thought that I had to part with Yukino
I didn’t imagine living with Yukino in the future.
Yukino’s looking at me.
But, I don’t want Yukino to die no matter what. I want you to live even if we can’t meet each other again. That’s true
Even now, I want Yukino to live.
Even if it’s in a world out of my reach.
Even if we never meet each other again.
I want Yukino to live.
Is that because I’m similar to your mother?
Yukino asks me.
You can’t reconcile with your mother, so instead, you want to be open with me?
That’s.
I don’t think that’s the case
I look straight at Yukino.
Sure, Minaho-neesan might be right. I might be attracted to Yukino because you resemble my mother. But, Yukino is Yukino. I discovered a lot about you in the past ten days. Inside me now, I’m looking at Yukino. Not Mother, I’m looking at Yukino Hmm, what you know about me is that I’m a selfish, egoistic, and helpless idiotic woman, right?
I
No, that’s not all
The feelings I can’t speak up are rising.
My feelings for Yukino inside of me.
That’s never all
Yukino.
You liar. You’re looking down on me. You think of me like an idiot!
Tears gather in Yukino’s eyes again.
Yukino looks at her abdomen Mana’s touching.
I’ll abort the child
Yukino.
I’d rather die than bear your child
Tears fall from her eyes.
I don’t want this. I’ll never accept this
Then.
That’s a lie. Onee-chan will give birth!
Mnaa smiles at Yukino.
After all, it’s Yukino-oneechan’s baby! Maika?
Yukino’s surprised.
Yukino-oneechan will never kill her child! i will No, Onee-chan’s that kind of person. I know!
Mana.
When I was in medical treatment in Shizuoka, my family in Tokyo never came to visit me once, but That’s right, I didn’t go to see you! But, Yukino-oneechan didn’t forget about me!
The sisters stared at each other.
Onee-chan, when you went abroad with our parents, you bought me a souvenir. You sent me emails with photos taken from Hawaii. In addition to that, during the New Years or my birthday, you always give me a gift and a call! That’s because you’re my little sister! That’s right! Even now we’re still sisters1 Onee-chan still thinks of me as her little sister! That’s, well, obviously? You’re my
Yukino and Maika are sisters.
That’s right. Yukino-oneechan is kind to what you think is yours. You treasure them
Mana presses Yukino.
Yukino-oneechan, you can’t get away from Onii-chan
Huh?
Yukino-oneechan thinks that Onii-chan is also hers after all! don’t be ridiculous! I! So why are you here? Why did you escaped from Ichikawa-ojichan’s house and came back to this mansion? That’s Also, earlier this morning, when you saw Onii-chan, you got angry at him because he didn’t try to save Papa, right? If you don’t think of him as yours, then you won’t be saying that! That’s not true! Then, can you tell Kyouko-san and Cordelia-san what you said earlier? I can’t say that of course!
Yukino shouts.
If I did that to them then they’d snap my neck. They’re just demons Even though Onii-chan’s also allied with those people? But, this man is? Yukino-oneechan knows that Onii-chan will never hurt her no matter how horrible you speak to Onii-chan, right?
Yukino doesn’t recognize me as an enemy.
That’s why she complains of me hatefully.
She thinks of me as someone she’s allowed to complain to.
It feels frustrating, doesn’t it? Onii-chan and Megu-oneechan are taken away by the ladies of Kouzuki house? That’s not true! I don’t need that man! You speak at the stage of not needing, don’t you already think of him as yours? Onee-chan’s really a troublesome woman
Mana laughs
Yukino.
Because this man raped me! That’s why he should be devoting his whole life to me! I’ll never forgive him even for a thousand years!
She points at me.
Hm. So Onee-chan’s love is like that
Love?
maika? What are you talking about? This is never love! I’ll never accept this as love! It’s love even if Onee-chan doesn’t accept it. You’re obsessed with Onii-chan
Mana said.
You want Onii-chan so much that you can’t hold yourself back, right? Onii-chan doesn’t turn towards you so you can’t help but feel hateful, right? That’s! Becuase, this man, should be looking at me all the time, 24 hours a day! That’s all he should be doing! That’s what you want, right? Look, that’s love!
Yukino mumbles.
But, Yukino-oneechan, in reality: Sorry but it doesn’t always go as Onee-chan wants. Onii-chan has become the pillar of our family already. Yukino-oneechan can’t have him all for herself I know that already!
Yukino looks down.
I don’t think of anything of this man! Then, what would you do with the child in your stomach, Onee-chan?
Mana says while rubbing Yukino’s belly
What will Onee-chan do to this child
Yukino puts her hand on her belly.
I don’t know
I.
Yukino, no, Shirasaka-san
I talk to Yukino the same way before everything started.
I know that Shirasaka-san’s a kind person
Yukino looks at me.
When I was dispirited because my father was gone on the day of entrance ceremony, Shirasaka-san was the one who called up to me in the classroom I said this before, but that was your misunderstanding. I’m not kind of woman. You were just an eyesore, so I wanted you to go to the infirmary quickly No, Shirasaka-san back then was kind. I remember it, I won’t forget! Is that so?
Yukino looks away from me then looks at her lower abdomen once again.
Yukino-oneechan, this child may be Onii-chan’s child but also, this is Onee-chan’s baby too
Mana said.
Onee-chan, would you kill this child? This is Onee-chan’s precious child
Yukino.
Well, Maika’s right
She pats her belly once again.
I’ll give birth. Maybe
Then, she looks at Mana.
But, that’s because Yuzuki said that she’ll spare me if I bear the child! I don’t want to die so I’ll carry this child! I don’t actually want to you hear!
If there’s already a life inside Yukino’s belly, then.
She will be spared with no hesitation.
Yeah, bear the child. I’ll raise it, make it happy no matter what Mana will help too! Should Mana bear a baby together with Onee-chan?
