I replied.
I’ve got a lot of women and this big family to look after. I cannot look at Megu all the time.
I need to act coldly towards Megu here.
I cannot be overprotective towards her like before.
There’s this book I read from middle school, it says;
Megu speaks.
A lover’s relationship, loving each other, means to need each other’s company
Need?
Yoshi-kun doesn’t need me. Even without me, all the other girls will serve Yoshi-kun
I.
Megu, that man who wrote that book is wrong
Huh?
Need has nothing to do with it. Aren’t we already family, Megu?
I counter Megu’s lover argument with family again.
Even if you’re too close, annoying, obstructing, or causing trouble, or even if you go somewhere far where I could no longer see you, we’re still family. No matter what happens, I wish for Megu’s happiness
I knew it, it’s still family. I cannot become Yoshi-kun’s lover
Megu cries quietly.
You’ve been told that becoming family is much better than becoming lovers, and yet.
Luna mutters.
You can stop being lovers, part ways, but family will always be family. You do not understand how much family it brings, don’t you?
Luna.
Francie told me Love will always end, no matter what it is
Yukino smiled.
Francie, that one’s the gay co-star on Yukino’s show.
Love is a fire that lights up your heart, but since it’s burning, it’ll fade sooner or later. It’ll run out of fuel. Therefore, I don’t jump to love anymore Well, Francie’s love must be some young man, still, Well, he’s a middle-aged homo after all.
His partner may also be a homo, but if he doesn’t like old men, then that love would end.
Even if they come out with I love you, please go out with me.
Most end up in that state.
And in that regard, a family is better. No matter how much your emotions change, whether you like it or not, your family will remain the same
Yukino said.
That’s a lie. Family will always be family is just your ideal. I’ve seen people abandon their family multiple times
Yukino, she’s a favorite among the Shirasaka clan and is abandoned now.
Aren’t you the same? Your real parents abandoned you, and that’s why you cut ties with them
Yukino looked at me.
Right. I don’t care much about what happens to my Father in the future. I don’t want to see my Mother again. I won’t go to their funeral either. Nor I’d go visit their graves
I’ve abandoned Yoshida house.
My father and mother abandoned me, and yet.
I wonder why was I clinging to the Yoshida house?
I want to return my gratitude to Minaho-neesan for letting me out of that family. I want to offer the rest of my life for all the big sisters, my little sisters, my women. Those are my family. I want to live for my family There’s more, right?
Yukino laughed.
You’ll give some for your children too, right?
Yukino touches the green tattoo above her abdomen.
Agnes is also Papa’s daughter
Right. I need to hang on for my children too
I pat Agnes’ head.
He has that kind of resolve. See? Family is family, and it’s absolute. He isn’t making a stance just for formality’s sake, he has the resolve. No, he probably dares
Yukino said.
Rebellious
Mana said.
Onii-chan’s rebelling. His fate is too aggravating. His father and mother abandoned him, it made him mad, and thus, he won’t leave his family even if he dies. He’s resolved to love the family until the end
Yes, Kou-sama’s resolve is to oppose fate
Tsukiko.
He carries us all on his back. He embraces us with both his arms
But.
But, I’m still learning. I’m nothing but a punk who tries to carry everything on my back. I do not have anything I could do right now, and so I believe in my family, and sometimes, I rely on everyone, learning from all of it Also.
Each of us has some problems where we need to use our power to overcome it. I now understand that I shouldn’t panic and try to help you all out before I could face my own problems
Megu’s like that.
Therefore, I won’t reach out my hand to help Megu.
Megu needs to overcome it herself.
Also, there’s no need to rush to a conclusion. Even if it takes a year or two, you need to live with that. If it goes badly, it may take decades, but rushing it will only cause wounds
Indeed, the Kouzuki ladies got that love of cleanliness. They’re too smart. That’s why they find Megu, a woman who grumbles a lot and is useless as an eyesore, and so they tried to fix her, but when they find out that it’s not easy, they were trying to push her out right away!
Yukino said.
I’m not rushing. I’ve already talked to Misuzu and Nei
I said and looked at Megu.
Megu, do what you want to do
I.
I’ll wait for you always. I believe that Megu will understand
I?
That’s right. Megu, you can stay in this mansion, or, if you don’t want to live together with the other girls, then you can live apart from everyone
Megu and I have a small house where we live together as a setting.
Of course, you can return to Yamamine house too. You could live on your own far away too
Also.
You can leave our relationship the same. Or find another man and marry him
what are you talking about, Yoshi-kun?
Megu’s surprised.
On the other hand, if you want to bear my child right now, then say it. Of course, I’ll treasure Megu’s child as well.
I said.
I cannot live a life where I only love Megu, look at Megu, live for Megu. That’s impossible. I’ve got all my precious family, it’s not just Megu
I made it clear.
However, anything other than that would be yours to do. Embrace your dream, face it, make it real. It may be an impossible dream, but Megu, you’re free to challenge that dream
That’s right.
You can work hard on your club activities, or work hard to become a school teacher. I’m not tying you up, Megu. I’ll support you in whatever you want to do, but I won’t tie you up with me. If ever Megu bears a child that isn’t mine, then I’ll continue to support you. I’ll help Megu, Megu’s child, even Megu’s husband Megu’s dumbfounded.
What are you talking about? I don’t get it. Yoshi-kun, what are you trying to say!
Then.
That is how much Onii-chan loves Megu-oneechan!
Mana shouted.
He loves you that much. He’ll bless no matter what kind of life Megu-oneechan chooses! He’s got that kind of resolve!
That is if Megumi thought it out made a choice for your life
Yukino added.
Yeah. If Megu made a decision, and you have resolved to not regret it, I’ll bless it, no matter what it is. That’s what I decided
Megu, stand up for yourself.
I beg you.
That’s because we’re family. Whatever happens in the future, I’ll always thin of Megu as my family, and I’ll continue to love you till forever. No matter what kind of life Megu chooses, even if you abandon me, even if you choose another man. Even if Megu forgets about me and lives somewhere far away. Even if you hate me. No matter what misfortune passes by. I’ll never abandon Megu. I’ll always think of Megu as my family That is my resolve, my determination.
You really are an idiot
Yukino laughed.
You know, he doesn’t have self-confidence, just like Megumi
Self-confidence?
Megu mutters.
Confident that one’s loved. He’s uneasy because he doesn’t think people could love someone like him. Aren’t you the same, Megumi?
Megu doesn’t respond.
You’re anxious, and so you seek love from your partner. And you want it to be clearly visible, and so, you shamelessly demand I want you to prioritize me more than the other girls, show that you love me more than them Yukino said with a smile.
But, this man isn’t confident that he’s loved, and so he gives it instead. Even if he can’t see people’s love for him, he clearly knows that he loves his partners, right? That’s why he always pour all his love to his partner when he feels uneasy I’m also uneasy.
