That guy moves strangely, but he also speaks strangely whenever fighting, remember Nyohohoho?

Shou-neechan said.

Yeah, he definitely sounds strange.

Even Kinoshita-san got disgusted by it.

Ah, I think he was mimicking Iwata Tesugoro’s Yohohoho

Nei replied.

Who?

I asked.

You don’t know him, Yo-chan? He’s a legendary pitcher! He’s at his 90s by this year already

what?

Yoshinobu-kun, Nei’s joking, don’t take it seriously

Margo-san smiles.

Then.

Sorry to disturb the meal but, Yoshinobu-kun, Nei, Misuzu-san and Edie, could you come with me to the room next door?

Margo-san said.

The dining room fell into silence.

Oh, it’s nothing big. I just want to finish up something while we’re all eating, it won’t take that much time. We’ll be back right away

Margo-san smiled.

Do I not have to go?

Minaho-neesan asks.

There’s no need, Ojou-sama. You already know about it

Katsuko-nee said.

Oh, so it’s that?

Okay, let’s go right now

Misuzu stands up.

Hey, what is this? What’s the story?

Nei doesn’t seem to know.

You should go. I’ll look after Michi-chan

Nagisa came to my seat and said.

Master

She’s feeling down earlier,

Michi clings to me like a kitten begging for milk, but,

She seems lonely.

I’ll be back right away

I pat Michi’s glossy hair.

Okay. Let’s switch

I stand up, and Nagisa sits on my chair.

Don’t make that face, Michi-chan

Yes

She’s depressed about her mother, and so,

I think that Nagisa’s warm motherly feeling would heal Michi better than me.

Then, thanks. I’m heading out

I head out of the dining room together with Margo-san.

We enter Minaho-neesan’s monitoring room in front of the dining room.

This was the room where Minaho-neesan summoned Megu last night.

This room is soundproofed, and so our conversation won’t go outside.

There we go!

Edie closed the door and locked it.

Misuzu remains silent.

Nei;

Oh, by the way, Yo-chan, I talked it out with Kana-chan, and you’ve got to look forward to Ai-chan. We cooked up quite an exciting plan

Nei

Margo-san calls her out.

Huh, what?

That one isn’t going well so stop it, that is the goal of our conversation here

Edie, who closed the door, tells Nei.

Why? i was only doing it for Yo-chan to enjoy

Then, shouldn’t you talk it out with Yoshinobu-kun first?

Margo-san said.

But you know, it won’t be fun if it’s not a surprise

Are all Nei’s plans just surprises?

That’s right. It’s Darling, and so he won’t mind even if it’s a surprise, but ordinary people would get angry. Like Why did you decide without asking me

Nei sends me a glance.

But, if I ask Yo-chan, he’d just say Stop that or I don’t need it, it’s a plan I took time to make and so I don’t want it to be gone

Yeah, if she did consult me beforehand,

I won’t go with the plan to rape Kana-senpai at all.

Since it’s me, I’d most likely stop in the middle of the plan.

It’s Nei who thinks that it’s fun. Not Darling

Edie said.

Right. I think you’re going a bit overkill. You two

Margo-san looked at Nei and Misuzu.

Yes, I’m very sorry

Misuzu bows her head to Margo-san.

We’ve been short-sighted

Oh.

Unlike Nei, Misuzu;

She saw Yukino freeing Megu up.

Wait, why are you going that way now Mii-chan? Also, Edie? I handed over the seat with Yo-chan and yet.

That’s because you don’t want to be the one cornering Megumi, do you?

that’s true, but, Edie, weren’t you allied with Mii-chan and me? You’re with us making plans, so shouldn’t you also be responsible for this? Now, why are you with Margo-oneechan now? Shouldn’t you be getting scolded together with us?

Nei’s also overdoing it.

That’s why she knows why she’s being scolded.

In short, it was Ya-chan and Misuzu’s plan on using Kana-senpai and cornering Megu to let her say that she’s my slave?

I asked.

Ugh, gununu. i don’t know anything about that

Nei tries to whistle and gloss it over.

Nei-oneesama, it’s useless. It looks like they know everything

Misuzu tells Nei.

Nei;

Edie, you traitor!

She blames Edie.

Nope. I did carry out Nei and Misuzu’s schemes, but I’ve been on Margo’s side from the beginning

What? A spy?

Nei’s surprised.

Not really, Nei

Margo-san said.

Edie stays with Yoshinobu-kun to make sure that he could press on the brakes before Nei and Misuzu’s plan turn grave

Now that you mentioned it.

Edie’s clinging to me a lot.

Your schemes didn’t go well. But, it didn’t become a problem thanks to Edie and Mana-chan. Nagisa-san, Katsuko-san, and I requested the two beforehand

Margo-san said.

It’s not just Edie but also Mana.

Yeah, she was paying attention to a lot of things.

The three of us tried not to give any direct assistance if possible. We’d like Minaho to make minimal intervention, but if we didn’t move, Minaho would’ve intervened like usual. Well, even so, it’s Minaho who always give Yoshinobu-kun and Megumi-chan preferential treatment Yeah.

The other members of the senior group let us free, but,

Minaho-neesan’s the one trying to make contact at each critical point.

That’s her personality, and so it can’t be helped,

Margo-oneechan, I thought that you’re leaving this case all to us?

Nei speaks in a depressed tone.

I did. We didn’t do anything at all. Nothing but watching over the situation

Margo-san said.

We asked Edie and Mana-chan to be the brakes, and it was the two of them who made the decisions. We didn’t give them any other instructions, also

A moment of silence. Then Margo-san tells Nei.

In the end, it was Yukino-san who saved Megumi-chan. We didn’t do anything. Yukino-san’s the one who pulled Megumi-chan out

Yukino-chi?

Nei’s speechless.

Yes. We planned to shrink down Megumi-san and keep her in check. But it seems that our idea was wrong

Misuzu said.

Wait a second? But, 80% of Megu-chan’s problems is herself, right? That girl doesn’t understand anything that we try to explain to her, and she’s throwing out the harmony of the family. That’s why we had no choice but to.

Indeed, Megumi is indeed hard to convince. But, you’re also biased

Edie said.

Megumi and Nei think differently. That includes the way you accept information. Your rules in your living are different, as well.

Right. That’s not bad. People live in various ways, and so their outlook should also be different

Margo-san tells Nei.

And the problem, in this case, is that Nei and Misuzu were both living in the same rules. Therefore, you two have the same opinion. And you two communicate well because your rules are the same

But, Megumi-chan lives under a different rule than Nei and Misuzu. No matter how many times you teach her with your logic, she won’t understand

But, everyone other than Megu-chan understood how we think

Nei said. Misuzu;

But it doesn’t get through Megumi-san herself, and so it’s useless

Oh, Nei’s thought of why can’t you understand whenever approaching Megumi-chan keeps on escalating, but

Megumi gets angry as why do I have to keep hearing this again and again?

In short, Nei thinks why do you not understand on Megumi-chan, but

Megumi also thinks why do you not understand to Nei

And as they both don’t understand each other, their emotions and expression escalate.

And yet, I think that Megu declaring herself as a slave did for the better

I think.

No, but we wanted Megumi-chan first recognize the reality, and look at her relationship with Yo-chan and the family again
