Wait, Mana. I’m not like that
Oh shut up
Mana spanks Megu’s ass with the rot.
Kyaan!
Megu screams.
Don’t start grumbling like you’re important when you’re showing everyone your anus!
Err.
Megu’s tied up to the machine and is sticking out her ass.
Yeah, that looks pathetic.
Oh yeah, I get it. In short, Megumi doesn’t understand the power balance in this house, and so she’s an idiot among idiots
Yukino nods to herself. Then, she looked at me.
Why are you keeping this abysmal idiot with you? I’ll be honest, I think you should abandon women like Megumi. Throw her in the burnable bin. Looking after her, is nothing but a pain in the ass, don’t you think? You’ve got a lot more beautiful and better personality girls than her. Isn’t Megumi unnecessary already?
Yukino, that’s cruel!
Megu’s on the verge of tears.
But, you understand it too, don’t you, Megumi? Do you have any redeeming features? Anything you have that surpasses all the other girls here?
Yukino corners Megu.
Your face is out of the question. Brains? No win. What else is left? How about your speed in running?
She just lost to Edie
Right, Megu lost to Anya and Edie when they competed in the grounds.
Then there’s nothing? You’re worth nothing
Then.
Yukino-chan, that’s where you’re wrong
Agnes rebuts.
Agnes isn’t smart, nor I’m not as beautiful as the big sisters. But, Papa said that he’ll stay with me forever!
Yukino looked at Agnes’ face in surprise.
I think you should know that you’re quite cute. If we start selling photo albums right now, I’m sure that Nei and Agnes-chan’s album would sell like hotcakes. It’s frustrating to think that way though
Mana’s album would sell too
I said.
Mana has become more beautiful compared to four months ago
Mana reconstructs her body intending to become a supermodel. All her efforts since four months ago are showing now.
Yukino looked at Mana’s body.
Yeah, I thought so too. You’ve changed, Maika. You’ve become mature
thanks, Yukino-oneechan
Mana replied bashfully.
Also, Yukino, I think if we sell your photo album, it would be famous
what do you mean by that now?
Yukino glared at me.
Aren’t you a celebrity now? You show up on TV all the time after all
Oh, what, it’s that?
I think you’ve become more beautiful than before
Ugh, shut up! Don’t say that here now!
Yukino’s blushing.
No, I’m serious though.
Yukino now isn’t impregnable, and she’s become cuter and more beautiful than before.
Yeah. Yukino-chan’s become more beautiful!
Agnes nods.
Now that you mention it, you’ve also become cuter compared to when I saw you in May
Yukino and Agnes never had contact since Golden Week.
Back then, Agnes was an expressionless and silent girl.
Now, she’s bright, and she loves speaking.
Yes, I’m having sex with Papa every day after all
Agnes smiled and replied.
And so, Luna, you’ll start doing it every day too!
O-Okay
Yomi wants to do the same, I want to become beautiful
Papa, can Yomi-chan join?
Err.
Well, when we have time, yes
If only I could have near half the amount Agnes does it
Megu complains whisperingly.
What now Megumi? You’re blaming the lack of sex for not becoming more beautiful?
Yukino jokes.
I’m not saying that, but I feel like I had it less!
No, that’s not true, I give everyone equal time
But, you were doing it with Edie in school without me knowing, weren’t you? Also, you didn’t tell me anything about that senior from tennis club!
Oh, she’s angry.
Angry from the conversation earlier.
And why are you so arrogant about it? He’s the King, and you’re only one of the many women serving that King? Why are you shouting at him like you’re a wife from hell?
Because I!
You too. Why are you letting Megumi go this far? You know, you should just throw her off, just tell her Shut up idiot! or I’m going to beat you up if you don’t stay silent
Yukino throws her anger at me.
Seriously, try to deal with your women! Papa did that right at least. If he gets annoyed even for just a bit, he’ll tell Mama, Shut up, woman! or Don’t drag me to your stupidity! Then he’d kick her. Right, Maika? Papa and Mama were like that Yukino’s parents?
Well, yeah. That was plain horrible. No matter how you look at it, Mama wasn’t at fault, yet she gets all the shouts and kicks. But he never beats her with his hand. Mama works as a food critic, after all. Thus, that nagging man kicks on her instead Shirasaka Sousuke’s wife.
Besides, Mama never shuts up. Don’t make things convenient for you, liar! or I’ll tell father about this! You scum! and she’ll use anything nearby to throw at Papa
That was a disaster in Hawaii
Oh, of all things, they started fighting while eating in the restaurant at night. That was embarrassing
Yukino and Mana’s parents shout at each other and fight.
And it was frequent.
But, isn’t that what married couples do? They came from different houses, after all. Once you stay together for long, the gas would accumulate. Shouting at each other and raging is a necessity to vent out
Yukino said.
That’s wrong
Megu?
Married couples care for each other and cooperate. I’ve never seen my foster parents fight
That’s because they do it when Megumi’s not watching. They should also be yelling and hurting each other
They’re different from Yukino’s house! If they were fighting, it would surely reach my room!
Now that she mentioned it.
Megu’s moans upstairs leaked to the whole first floor back then.
Foster father was kind to Mother, He never yelled at her. They get along as a married couple, caring for each other
Yeah, Megu’s foster parents were docile and kind people.
I see, their image of what’s a family differs
Tsukiko said.
Each one has a model family they grew up with, and so there’s a misalignment of ideas like this
Misalignment.
Yukino-san always calls Kou-sama an idiot because of her father’s influence. In her household, their father and mother curse each other frequently when they converse
Tsukiko speaks to Yukino.
I think so too. Yukino-oneechan has that high-affinity with Onii-chan. She thinks that he’s the closest to her, and so she finds it easy to say idiot and call him as such
But, that is a problem, it’s only her speech for now, but sooner or later, she might behave violently on Kou-sama
Yukino? Hit me?
Well, I think that’s possible.
She’d kick me off without batting an eye.
Kou-sama never retorts no matter how much Yukino-san curses him. It’ll escalate little by little, and Yukino-san may raise it to the level where she beats him up
Tsukiko said.
And that’s why I’m telling him to retort! If he gets pissed off, he can punish people too. I’m telling him that he’s free to do whatever he wants. Either way, I know that he likes me, and I love him back. And so, I don’t mind if we yell at each other! Venting out your emotions is healthy, isn’t it?
Yukino said, smiling, but.
That’s just strange. Couples cursing each other, what?
Megu refutes.
Married couples look after each other. It’s a kind of relationship. Calm, harmonious, and no fights!
That’s only your ideal image of what a married couple should look like
Tsukiko said.
No. It’s not ideal, it’s proper. That’s what’s normal
Megu asserts.
Normal, is it?
That’s right. Yukino’s house is an odd one, see? Her mother and father weren’t ordinary people
The father’s a head of a first-class advertising agency and is a member of the Shirasaka clan, a distinguished house. A man who lived as he pleased.
The mother is a daughter of a big-shot in the advertising industry and is a food critic.
