Yukino said.
Yoshi-kun only loves me like a family! He doesn’t love me as a woman, as a lover! He doesn’t romantically love me!
Hearing Megu’s reply, Yukino;
So?
So it’s frustrating! I feel miserable! I don’t know why I became Yoshi-kun’s fiance now! I don’t even know what to do! Geez! Stupid! Idiot! Dummy!
Megu cries out like a child.
Maika, what’s with this stupid woman?
Yukino asks her sister as she watches Megu yell out.
I don’t know either
Mana shrugged her shoulders.
Yukino sighed.
Look, what is this love you think of? Be specific about it
Megu stopped crying and looked at Megu.
Love is love. Don’t you understand it? You’re a woman too, Yukino
What I mean by that is explain it so I could understand! I don’t know what’s the definition of it in your head
Then, Megu;
Love means that Yoshi-kun loves me so hard that he doesn’t know what to do. That I also love Yoshi-kun, I can’t hold it anymore! That’s it
Yukino.
Megumi, you’re
She knit her eyebrows.
Are you an idiot? Did you fry your last brain cells?
Err.
You know, when boys start to date you out of love, they only think about sex. They think about how they could undress the girl. Kenji was like that. He only looks at my chest and my butt, but you know, it felt pleasing that someone was looking at me with lust in their eyes. He’s looking at no other women but me Yukino said.
When boys say that they like a girl, they’re just saying that you’re one of their preference from their lust. That’s how it usually is. They’re amazingly dirty. You’d only see the pure love you’re thinking of in the movies or TV shows. I mean, even the actoractress in the pure love dramas you watch are cheaters, or just plain slutty That doesn’t matter! I want a romantic love between Yoshi-kun and me! Our meeting was fated! Yoshi-kun and I have to be unique! And yet!
Too heavy!
Yukino mutters as Megu speaks.
Oh, I see, you’ve never experienced love before, right. I guess that’s it. You’re like a girl dreaming about love
It’s your fault, Yukino-oneechan
Mana said.
Me?
That’s right. Yukino-oneechan and Shirasaka Sousuke-san bullied Megumi-oneechan and the Yamamine house a lot
Yamamine house, Megu’s adoptive parents, were under Shirasaka house’s rule and was forced to live in poverty. Her adoptive parents were kind people, but Megu felt ashamed as the foster daughter.
Yukino oppresses them at every opportunity she finds.
Oh, I get it. Right. That was my fault. I bullied Megumi too much now she’s always insecure
It’s not about the economic condition of Yamamine-san, Yukino-oneechan back then would force Megu-oneechan to break up if she ever gets a boyfriend, won’t you?
Mana said.
Right, if it were me from back then, I’d most likely do that. I hated Megumi after all
Yukino admits.
That’s the reason. Megu-oneechan thought that she’d never be able to enter a romantic relationship. She’ll only cause trouble to the guy if she does. Yukino-oneechan will make the two break up
Yeah
Besides, Shirasaka Sousuke-san had planned on making Megu-oneechan a prostitute. Megu-oneechan had always thought that she’d never experience romance
Mana looks at Megu.
I get it now, that was her situation, and then, she met this idiot suddenly, pretending as fiance on the outside. and so Megumi’s in high spirits
Yukino said. Megu;
we’re not pretending! I genuinely intend on marrying Yoshi-kun! I’m Yoshi-kun’s fiance!
Then, she lost her energy.
But, I was wrong. That’s what I thought, but Yoshi-kun doesn’t feel that way. He doesn’t love me
Yukino.
Yeah. Okay, I get the gist of it. Daitai Wakatta1 From what I see, Megumi’s a child who doesn’t even understand what love means, but from your perspective, you love this idiot, and yet, this idiot doesn’t love you back the same. Well, that’s the nutshell, I guess?
That’s
This is important, so let me reaffirm. Megumi, you love this idiot? As a man and a woman? And he also loves Megumi in a way. Can you affirm that?
Megu looked at me.
i can!
She replied, though confused.
I see. Then, isn’t that good enough? What’s the problem with it?
Yukino smiled.
what? Don’t say that there’s no problem!
Megu refuses, but,
Why? If you like him, then isn’t that enough?
That’s not enough! I want to be loved as much as I give!
Hmm. Not that I don’t understand your feelings, but isn’t that just being presumptuous? You’re stingy Megumi
Stingy, me?
Megu’s shocked.
I mean, your love for him, and his love for you are two different things
That’s not true, Yoshi-kun and I
They’re different things
Ruriko, who listens to the conversation, tells Megu.
Or should I say that it will never be similar. Megumi-oneesama and Onii-sama are different people. The nature of love is different among people
Different, what, Ruriko-chan?
Megu asks.
Yes. It is as you see, Megumi-oneesama. For example, Minaho-oneesama, Katsuko-oneesama, Shou-oneesama, they all love Onii-sama, but their methods and nature of love are different from each other
Minaho-neesan always watches over me.
Katsuko-nee always gently talks about our daily life.
Shou-neechan’s giving some time even during her busy days.
Therefore, there’s no evaluation on who loves Onii-sama the most. Everyone loves Onii-sama. That’s good enough
Each person’s love is different, and so you can’t place merits on it,
That includes Onii-sama. I only see Onii-sama treasuring and loving me, or Megumi-oneesama. He loves Megumi-oneesama. Is the shape of his love different from what Megumi-oneesama seeks? I’ve been listening to Megumi-oneesama’s assertion earlier, but I do not understand what you’re dissatisfied about Ruriko said.
That’s right. Papa loves Megu-oneechan. Agnes doesn’t understand why you’re angry
Agnes also tilts her head.
Megumi-chan, in love, just because you’ve given your partner 50 counts of love, then the other party also have to provide the same amount
Katsuko-nee said.
Even if you send 50 counts, the other party may only send 10. Maybe you sent 50 counts one time, but the other side gives you ten counts in five times, returning it little by little. Maybe, you’ve sent sweet love, but the other side can only return bitter love It’s a personal relationship, it won’t be 50-50. Therefore, don’t think love with quantity Then what should I do?
Megu asks.
What’s essential is that the other party responds when you give them love. Even if the quantity is different, there should be an immediate change. Do something, and there will be a reaction, that’s how a relationship of love works. If it’s ignored, then that’s when love doesn’t work It’s not the contents of the return but the reaction made.
He never makes a face that says It’s troublesome, or later, has he? Even now he’s listening to what you have to say with all seriousness. Then, he thinks seriously of what to do after listening
Katsuko-nee hugs me from behind.
Yeah. He’s an idiot, but he never runs away. Oh, I see, that’s why I feel at ease when I’m with him
Yukino said.
But, I don’t know what I should do. I don’t know what to do to stay close with Yoshi-kun!
Megu said. Yukino.
Geez, you really are a troublesome woman aren’t you, Megumi
what now?
You’re overthinking it! The romance that you’re thinking only exists in a dream, not in reality
But
If you like this idiot, then isn’t that good enough? Then go for him! Also, if other girls are chasing him, then challenge them!
Challenge?
That’s right. Why don’t you challenge to see how much you love him or how much he loves you back with others?
Then, Yukino glared at me.
