Katsuko-nee’s the main housewife of the mansion, then Mana and Ruriko support her.
You know, you’re too easy to fool, or should I say that you get dragged by the current too easily. You feel inclined to do what other people tell you. What an idiot. That’s why you became the class representative in an instant after entering high school though Yukino said.
That also includes his bakery. The bakery isn’t your dream, is it, Megumi? It’s Katsuko who dreams of opening up a bakery, and that’s why he’s helping out, right? Despite that, why are you helping him out there?
That’s because I thought that if Yoshi-kun wants to help Katsuko-san open up a bakery, I also have to help him
That’s not your duty! Geez! You really are an idiot!
Yukino splashes Megu with warm water.
If you’ve got the time to help out someone in their dream, then chase after your own! Megumi, what’s your dream? Say it!
My dream?
Yes, are you done after marrying this stupid guy? Could be that you think that this is all over once you’re his housewife? If you do that, all the other women will push all the housework and child-raising to you Yukino looks at Katsuko-nee and the girls.
They’re mature enough that they won’t think of settling down in the house! They’re thinking of something already, Be it business or whatever
You’re right
Megu nods.
They’re all talented people after all
Misuzu plans to enter Tokyo University.
Ruriko will ascend to some managerial position in Kouzuki house.
Michi’s already a professional bodyguard.
Nei and Edie will join Margo-san in her martial arts business.
Mana’s planning to become a supermodel.
Tsukiko will return to Kyoto and inherit the shrine.
Nagisa’s already managing her flower shop.
Katsuko-nee will start her bakery.
Shou-neechan and Rei-chan are working in Kouzuki SS
Minaho-neesan will start a new business while she reopens the brothel for a five-year term.
That’s not what I mean! Megumi, do you not have any dreams? That’s what I want to know!
Yukino.
Dream. Hmm
That’s right. Do you have any? Like a job, you want to do when you were a child. Forget about this stupid man and all those monsters for now and think about what you want to become for now! The thought What can I do? or What should I do? is wrong. You’ll get trapped deep in it! Make it simple! What do you want to do? What do you want to become? Tell me your dream Megu.
Sorry, I’ve never thought of that
What the hell?
Since childhood, I thought that I’d become like Mother, a prostitute Shirasaka Sousuke-san will call someday
She said with a sad smile.
I’ve never thought of what I want to become, or wanting some job. I felt that it was useless to think about it
Ah, sorry
Yukino apologized.
I guess that’s my and Papa’s fault. I’ve bullied you a lot back then
Yukino shows extreme repentance.
Sorry, for that time in the middle school basketball club. I forced you to stop. I really am sorry, you wanted to continue playing basketball, don’t you?
No, I don’t mind it now. I thought that I’d stop playing basketball, or even the track-and-field I’m doing now. I thought that everything will be over as soon as Shirasaka-san called me
Megumi
Besides, if I didn’t end up becoming a prostitute, I thought that at that time, I would be married off to some other house. Either way, I couldn’t decide on my own future, and so I gave up
I see
Yukino mutters in pain.
Therefore, I’m now like this. Even if I know that I won’t become a prostitute anymore, I can’t come up with anything that I want to become. Therefore, I always look at Yoshi-kun and the family, and help out however I can Megu said.
You’re right, Yukino, I don’t have any dreams. That’s why I cling to Yoshi-kun and everyone, I’m so miserable
Sorry, Megumi
Don’t mind it, it can’t be helped. This was my fate, and so I lived that way. It’s not Yukino’s fault
Then.
Tsukiko who’s talking with Katsuko-nee stands up,
Then she walks towards Megu.
Tsukiko’s white skin.
She’s slender, but, her beautiful proportion stands in front of Megu.
Then.
You can’t lie like that
She shows a gentle smile.
What?
Megu’s surprised.
No matter how hopeless your situation may be, it’s human nature to imagine a dream to achieve
Tsukiko says.
Even if it’s the richest man in the world or a man whose death penalty is appointed tomorrow, humans always dream of what their future will be. That’s how it is. If you have given up on everything, then you won’t be here anymore. Shouldn’t you have thought of suicide years ago? Besides Tsukiko’s voice is gentle.
Megumi-san, don’t you have a dream since you were a child?
Tsukiko’s reading Megu’s thoughts.
Megu says that she doesn’t have a dream, but deep inside.
Look deeper inside yourself
I
Megu touches her chest.
I.
Megu, tell us
I also call Megu.
What is Megu’s dream? The one unrelated to me or with the family, Megu, what’s your dream for yourself?
Yoshi-kun
Megu looks at me.
Oh what, if you have one then say it! Don’t surprise us like that! You stupid girl!
Yukino also urges Megu.
i
Megu said.
I, since I was a child.
The thoughts Megu never told anybody before comes up.
I want to become a teacher. An elementary school teacher
That’s Megu’s dream.
Then why not do it? Right?
Yukino looked at me.
But, Yoshi-kun
I.
Then go for it. We’ll help you out to reach that dream
no! I’m the one helping Yoshi-kun. Yoshi-kun helping me out is.
Megu’s perplexed.
It’s okay. We’re family. I’d be happy if you’re doing your best chasing your dreams
I mean, if I want to become a teacher, I need to enter a four-year college course. I won’t be able to help Yoshi-kun anymore. If I become a teacher, then I’d be busier in that job
No problem
I said.
But, considering the family, we still have small girls, and next year, children will be born
We’ll manage that somehow
I said.
Everyone can manage it. We’re family after all
I think it’s impossible with just me, but if it’s with my family, then,
There won’t be any hardships.
But
If Megu wants to become a teacher, then, that dream is the dream of the family. Don’t mind it, Megu, chase after your dreams
I said.
That’s right. I think that’s way better than struggling against this small world and fighting against these monsters. Megumi, I believe you are better becoming an elementary school teacher
Yukino smiles.
I’m glad, geez. You actually had a dream
Tears spill out from Yukino’s eyes.
Yukino, what’s wrong?
Megu’s surprised.
Nothing! Nothing! Don’t mind me! Dummy!
Yukino splashes her face in the warm water, but,
Her tears aren’t stopping.
Megumi-san, let’s go over there
Tsukiko tells Megu.
Let’s give Kou-sama and her some time alone
Huh?
It’s okay, leave it to Kou-sama
I.
Yeah, give Yukino and me some time alone
O-Okay
Tsukiko and Megu leave us.
Yukino
I hug Yukino from behind.
Shut up, this is nothing
Yukino says while wiping her tears.
What about you, what do you want to become?
That’s right. Yukino should have her dreams as well.
I took that away from her forever.
It’s fashion-related
Yukino replied.
I know that it’s impossible to become a model, but I want to work on something related to fashion. An editor on magazines, a shop assistant on a brand shop, or a designer
I see
That’s right
