He’d notice the intention of this side right away.

Then, Jii-chan’s the type that is always careful.

He’ll laugh at Nei’s jokes, but,

The ambiance of the conversation would just get stiff.

I agree

Misuzu said.

We do not have Michi with us tonight. Naturally, we can call her out, but we would like her to take a rest tonight

Michi’s feeling down as she made her mother faint.

It would be pitiful to summon her to escort Misuzu at this moment.

Hauu, it can’t be helped then. Then, I’m going, but give me an hour after meal

Edie said.

Darling promised to shower me with love tonight

There’s no need to rush, I can still make time to do it with you by tomorrow

I replied. Edie;

No, it’s okay. One hour will do. I’ll do today’s share today. That’s for the best, also

She looked at Ruriko and smiled.

Hey guys, you’re done with the serious talk?

Yukino said in a loud voice.

If you’re done, then put that aside and eat. Look, the small girls are getting tensed

Now that she mentioned it.

Mao-chan and Agnes are eating silently.

When there’s a mature talk, they stay quiet, or should I say that they’re taught well. I think you all should be considerate of the children too, no?

Yukino, stop it

Megu tries to stop Yukino, but.

I mean, who can understand what they’re talking about? These people are too smart, too argumentative, and they think that people’s thoughts are a formula for them to solve! Look, people live with their emotions! You won’t be able to see the truth unless you talk it out with the person! You all take too much time simulating everything in your head!

That’s.

I think you’re right. Yukino-san

Minaho-neesan replied to Yukino.

We’re indeed overly-theoretical. I reflect on it

That’s right, reflect on it!

Geez, Yukino, you’re the one scaring everyone now!

Megu gets angry.

What? All I’m doing is just.

Don’t shout close to my ear! Stupid Yukino!

You’re the stupid one here! I mean, that guy is the representative of stupid people!

me?

I knew it.

That’s right, you’re the most stupid here!

Don’t say that Yoshi-kun’s stupid!

What’s wrong with me saying that a stupid guy is stupid?

The one calling people stupid is the most stupid! Geez!

Megu sighed.

I’m the most stupid here. I know it already. People made me understand today. Let’s end the silly talk

Then.

Done?

Mao-chan asks the two.

Is it over already?

Yukino and Megu looked at each other.

well, it’s over

We won’t make a fuss anymore. Sorry

Then, Mao-chan

Then, handshake

What?

Handshake, Yukino-chan, Megu-chan!

O-Okay

The two shake hands.

Mao-chan places her hand on top of theirs.

That’s enough fights today. You two made a lot of noise. You two were bad girls!

She glares at Yukino and Megu.

But, we get along!

Err.

It’s common in the TV show for children. They say But, we get along

Nagisa whispers.

Go on, Yukino-chan, Megu-chan!

what?

You have to repeat

But, we get along

Geez. But, we get along

Another one!

But, we get along

Yukino and Megu shout while holding each other’s hand.

And now, everyone!

mao-chan.

We’re joining in there?

Onii-sama, let’s do it

Yeah, let’s do it

Me too

Yomi too

Agnes too

Geez, it can’t be helped. Let’s do it

Katsuko-nee reaches out for Minaho-neesan’s hand.

What, Katsuko?

Well, it needs pairs to hold each other’s hand

Oh, is that so?

That’s right

Following Yukino and Megu;

Katsuko-nee and Minaho-neesan hold hands.

Agnes and Luna.

Yomi and Mana.

Ruriko and me

Edie and Ruriko.

Do you mind, Misuzu-sama?

Sure

Misuzu and Ruriko.

Then, it’s you and me

Nagisa and I hold hands.

If you’d please, Mao

Hearing her mother, Mao-chan;

But, we get along

But, we get along

I don’t get what’s going on,

But, we all said it.

Then.

After a few moments of silence.

Fu, kufufufufufu

Yukino’s the first to laugh.

What was that that was so funny! Kufufufufu!

That laugh of hers infected everyone.

Indeed, pufufufufufu

Katsuko-nee bursts into laughter.

Nagisa, Yomi, Luna, Agnes, and Mao-chan also laughed.

Puhahahaahaha!

Kyahahahaaha

Gufufufufufu

Edie infects Ruriko with her laughter.

Hahahahahahaha

Ufufufufufufu!

Tsukiko, Misuzu, Mana, and Megu started laughing as well.

You’re right, it’s absurd. You all are funny

Then, even Minaho-neesan.

Naturally, that includes me.

Then.

The dining room’s filled with laughter.

Everyone’s looking at each other.

Laughing.

We’re all laughing.

Then.

What’s wrong guys?

Nei stands in the entrance of the dining room, dumbfounded.

Ah, I’m home

Err.

Oh, as for Margo-oneechan, she’s parking in the garage. While at it, we picked these up

Picked up?

I’m back

One of them is Michi. As expected, she still looks dispirited.

And as for the other one.

Yo! I’ll be in your care tonight!

Kudou Haruka in her karate uniform for some reason.

Her hands are carrying luggage wrapped in cloth.

She’s wearing a Geta. (wooden sandals)

Then, heir hairstyle’s looking like Yawa-chan1

Her hair bundled up and set in place with a red hairband.

what’s with that look? Pfft!

Yukino started laughing again, and the whole room roared in laughter.

I thought you weren’t coming back tonight?

I asked Michi as she sits next to me.

Mao-chan gave orders saying, Give the seat next to Papa to those that seem sad, and so Agnes did just that.

Nobody in our family can beat the younger children.

That’s the plan, but, Aneue

Michi looked at Haruka.

If I’m joining in with the professional matches, then I thought that it’s better to live in here

Haruka said.

It’s frustrating, but I must admit that Michi and that woman, Margo is stronger than me. I need to reach the same level as them by training together, right? They say that their objective is in the American rings after all You’ve given up on Kouzuki SS now?

I asked, deliberately.

It’s no use, Mother did all that. I don’t want to trouble my big brother either. If I can earn money through Karate, then I’d do anything

Haruka’s eyes are blazing.

She knows that Mother made a lot of debt for the four months she was missing

Michi?

You mean, the time when she was with Yamaoka-san?

That was really stupid of her, she was at her prime. And yet, she escaped with that man, got troubled with money, made debts, and then got deceived by the bad guys while trying to pay it off, and when she noticed it, she’s already at the Yakuza’s hands!

Haruka’s angry.

Father’s taking over Mother’s debt for now, but

No, that guy ignores his family and only does what he wants. That’s why he gave up on Mother, and she followed that man! It’s unforgivable! I will pay back Mother’s debts myself

There’s also the hospital charges

Michi’s feeling depressed, and so I give her a hug.

Thank you, Master

But.

Why do you look like that Haruka-san?

She hasn’t put down the luggage she’s carrying yet.

Ahahahaha, amazed by this?

Kudou Haruka laughs loudly.

You see, I’ve become the Karate Oni now! I’ve abandoned my womanhood! Therefore, I’m using the old Japanese Karate uniform! My hairstyle’s like Yawa-chan! I’m no longer a woman!

Err.

Since the matches are in America, she imagines that she’ll fight villains like Great Togo or Harold Sakata
