Margo-san’s right.
It’s Misuzu and Nei, and so when you find an opportunity to talk them out like this, it will resolve itself.
But, you see, I’d like to ask you two
Margo-san?
Do you understand that having a family is always bothersome?
That’s.
You don’t have to answer, Yoshinobu-kun. I know that you understand
Margo-san looked at Misuzu and Nei.
Even in a family, everyone is different, that means, their way of thinking, and how they accept things are also different. There’s always someone who’ll take time to do anything and someone who complains about everything I know that, but
Nei tries to speak up, but,
No, you don’t. Nei and Misuzu-san, you try to ask Megumi-chan to become like you, smart, and can guess anything, even though Megumi-chan has her individual characteristic. You’re displeased that Megumi-chan can’t become like you, and so you push her to her breaking point Megu was near the breaking point from being separated from the family.
That might be true
Misuzu said.
Danna-sama kept repeating that we’re family to Megumi-san, and I don’t think I’ve understood it until now
Family.
That’s right. Family. You, me, every one of us decided to join in this family by our own will
Margo-san said.
Therefore, you should understand that you can’t push Megumi-chan out of the family because she breaks the harmony, don’t you think? Just like you, Megumi-chan joined in the family out of her will. Nobody gave her an order to enter the family, and so you shouldn’t force her out of the family, should you?
That’s right.
Once we’re family, that won’t change until death. Wasn’t that the resolve we had?
That’s right.
We accepted those who’ll take time, those who cause troubles. We showed them love. Shouldn’t we think about how we coexist, than coerce?
Yeah.
Things are going to get harder. Do you understand that?
Edie said.
Mana, Agnes, they’re all cute, but they’ll grow. They’ll become conceited. They’ll reach their rebellious phase, and someday, they’ll see the truth about their birth
Mao-chan thinks that I’m her father, but,
Someday, she may want to meet her real father.
She may hate me.
Agnes, someday, she’ll see the purpose of her life, and the reason why she was confined underground.
Once she discovers that her father created her to turn her to a sex toy,
She might feel despair.
People change. For good, for the bad, it’s inevitable
Edie said.
But the family itself will not. No, it cannot change. If it does, this family will crumble
If our family allows anyone to leave when they don’t like it anymore.
Then this family will collapse immediately.
Darling knows that. That’s why he kept telling Megumi, Because we’re family, We’ll always be family, that even if Megumi changes, Darling will continue to love Megumi as family
And Yoshinobu-kun carries truth in his words, so, even if Megumi-chan feels desperate, she never said that she’ll leave the family out of despair
She declared that she’ll become Darling’s slave because she trusts Darling and she knows that she can devote herself to him
That’s right.
Darling, you get that too, don’t you?
Edie said.
I’ll never leave this family. I resolve to stay with this family forever
She speaks with a serious look on her face.
I don’t want to be separated from Darling. And it’s futile to worry, why?
Edie?
That’s because Darling will never be alone anymore!
I.
It’s okay, even if Mao-chan becomes rebellious, or Agnes rejects you, I’ll do something about it. And it’s not just me, but everyone. That includes Megumi’s case
Edie smiled.
That girl is in the family, and so it’s a case for everyone. There won’t be any compulsion or coercion. We’ll put Megumi’s individuality into consideration and solve it together. We’re family, and so it’s not troublesome, no matter how much time it takes. Supporting the family is the natural thing to do Oh, I see.
That’s why Edie’s always close to Megu and me.
That’s to make sure that Megu doesn’t behave recklessly.
Edie, you
I said.
You use that odd speech pattern to throw Megu off. But in fact, Edie’s a genius, you use your mind and body to make sure that Megu doesn’t feel insecure about you
What, Yo-chan?
Danna-sama?
The two are surprised.
That’s how it is. Megumi-chan’s never surprised with how Edie speaks, right? The thought of Edie’s always so sudden and surprising, but she doesn’t mean anything bad, and she loves Yoshinobu-kun has piled up for the past four months. It accumulates throughout the days Margo-san said. Edie smiles.
Well, Megumi-chan knows that Edie’s smart, and she knows well how much physical strength she has. But, Megumi-chan never felt insecure towards Edie
She’s right.
Megu thinks Edie is Edie, and accepts it as usual
I unconsciously said.
Yeah. Once she understands she’s like that, and that there’s no malice, she’ll accept her. No matter who it is
Thus, there’s no insecurity created.
Edie built a steady relationship of trust with Megumi-chan. Therefore, even if Nei acts rashly, she’ll function as a brake
As long as Edie’s present, she’ll be able to calm down the atmosphere no matter how cornered Megu becomes.
It won’t turn to the worst situation possible.
Now then, what about you girls?
Margo-san asks Nei and Misuzu.
All you did for the past four months is corner Megumi-chan, and thus, you’re the cause of her insecurities
Chapter 767
You’re right, we were mistaken
Misuzu replied.
We think of Megumi-san as obstinate, as someone who doesn’t understand, and so we ignored Megumi-san’s individuality and the way she accepts things, and gave our arbitrary evaluation on her
Nei and Misuzu are smart, and so they understand right away. They comprehend the issue at hand. They think of how to deal with it right away.
But, Megu’s not like that.
Despite all that, Nei and Misuzu continue to move forward before Megu could understand.
It’s not just towards Megu.
Nei and Misuzu don’t explain anything to me and just continue to make schemes with the two of them.
And since you two love scheming, it saves the trouble if you explain first and gain consent, don’t you think?
Margo-san said.
I know that you want to implement your ideas as fast as possible, but that’s not good. As mentioned earlier, your plans are only useful to people who follow the same rules as you
Misuzu and Nei are strong in the world where the laws are strict.
They’ll follow their plans, and everything will smoothly make progress.
Everything would be within the range of their assumptions.
But, if you come across with a person who breaks the rules without care, and all of it will fall
Just like how Jii-chan trampled over the rules of the Yakuza, the surface, and the underground society’s standards.
Indeed. I think we got carried away
Nei reflects.
Edie speaks;
You two are similar. Minaho as well. Therefore, you make conspiracy plans whenever together unconsciously. However, if it’s only a gathering of people following the same rules, then you’ll miss a lot
That is why Minaho has Katsuko-san and me. Minaho knows that she’s overly theoretical. She never takes action unless she consulted with us
If you want a diverse view, then you need people who live under different rules
Well, recently she likes to discuss things with Shou-oneesan. Minaho thinks of herself as a realist, but, she’s come up with some unexpected and unpredictable actions. She’s more of a romanticist
Indeed. Shou’s clearly the realist. Shou’s job doesn’t allow wishful thinking after all
The top elites in Shou-neechan’s class don’t think well, we can manage in their job.
