Kindness.
Oh, I see. It’s not just about the toys. Most of the goods, tools, instruments in this world are friendly to people. They think about the buyer who’ll use it. The maker fills the item with their love
Yeah. If it’s something half-baked, then nobody would buy it
That’s right, objects in this world are friendly. That’s the basics. And people who deceive or torment others are less, I think
Nei, who suffered from horrible people, said and rubs her cheeks on my arm.
I was scared of evil. I thought that people would always want to scare, hurt, make me suffer. I felt that this world is filled with evil people
Nei.
After meeting Minaho-oneechan, I thought that they’re my allies. That they’re people, who suffered just as much as I did. Therefore, we get close together and fight off scary people. I thought that everyone else is an enemy I see
Yeah. That’s why I was happy that the family increased in numbers. My allies increased. But, I only trust Kei-chan and Margo-oneechan. In the end, I’m still scared. I thought that even my family may betray me suddenly I see
That’s right. With that said, I don’t want to betray my little sisters. I don’t want to be betrayed, and so I don’t betray. And since I’m scared of the people in the world, thinking that they’re all scary and horrible people, I wanted to protect my little sisters. Not letting any horrible people lay hands on them Therefore, you wanted to become the ideal big sister right away
I think so
Nei stretches her hand and reaches for the robot toy.
But, this toy told me. Most people don’t think of harming me. The basis of this world is kindness, not evil
She pats the head of the robot with her fingers.
I see. You’re right
I pushed the stomach part of the robot.
I don’t think that the world is that cruel
That’s right, Kei-chan
Onee-chan
Our lips piled again.
I.
What?
I actually don’t get what’s the number one for me
What’s this about?
Nei looked up at me blankly.
I think that my past has an influence on me. Just like everyone else
That’s right.
I must notice it myself.
In the end, I don’t get what a family means
Kei-chan
I don’t know what to feel about my Father, nor I could understand Mother. Why was I born? What was the purpose of my birth? I lived in that state where I don’t understand anything. What’s fun? Why was I born in that stupid family?
I never had a conversation with my family.
Why are these people gathered here to call themselves a family?
Back then, I don’t know much about other families, and so I thought that my situation is something I can’t do anything about, but.
I’ve discovered so many families now.
A family with members that came from various households.
My mother’s out of the question, and I know that my father’s a useless man, but now.
What’s wrong?
Nothing, it’s just that Grandma, I thought that she’s the only one who loved me, that she’s an ally, but.
Oh.
I think it’s wrong. Grandma’s never a decent person as she tries to meet Mother’s absurd orders, even in that irredeemable household
Grandma’s son, my Father, He’s working on Mother’s Father’s company, and he couldn’t raise his head against them.
To think that they’ve accepted that kind of slave-like life, living in the kitchen and nowhere else is just absurd.
Grandma’s lived that kind of life with me.
She didn’t teach me that this kind of life is strange.
She’s always displeased, and she hardly smiled.
No, I still like Grandma, and I’m thankful to her. I won’t forget my gratitude to her, But
Did Grandma really love me?
Grandma may have hated me. She might’ve thought of me as troublesome
I don’t think so
Nei says, but.
In the end, I don’t know. What does it mean to be a family? I hardly know about loving family or the family loving me
Because I don’t have the experience.
Therefore, that’s what I’m most scared of. I don’t understand families. Therefore, I just accept everything and go along with it. With everyone
That’s why.
That’s the reason why I.
I’m a hollow person
Chapter 791 - Revolution.
Chapter 791. Revolution.
Yeah. That’s pathetic. Not knowing what’s natural for the ordinary people
I sighed.
But, I can’t do anything about it. This is my life, and so I’ll learn about what makes a family slowly. It’ll trouble everyone though
No, nobody thinks that it’s trouble
Nei hugs me.
I mean, everyone’s like that. We all lost sight of what a family truly means
Right.
That’s true, but.
But, I was wrong. For the past four months, I tried to give everyone equal attention
Trying to give everyone fair and equal attention and attitude.
Anyway, I thought that if I work hard, everyone will accept it and things will go well
But.
I didn’t understand that everyone’s different
That’s right.
Everyone’s raised from different homes lived different lifestyles, and so they think differently of what a ‘family’ means to them. They seek different things from me
They have different forms of a family they believe in.
It’s not just Megu who disrupts the harmony of the family. Megu has her thoughts on what a family is, or what it has to do
Kei-chan
Therefore, Megu’s not wrong either. Yamamine house formed their family by itself as well. In family relationships, there’s no right or wrong. There’s a family with just several people living in the same house. Or even those in the same family, they may think differently on their definition of family But, we’re us. This is Kuromori family, and we need to create the rules to live in that same family
Nei said.
That’s right. But, I thought I’d like to know each other once again before we decide on the rules of this family
I.
To be honest, I thought that I understand everyone in the family for the past four months. I’m such an idiot. That’s why I got carried away.
I got conceited, thinking that I can deal with everything on my own.
I never thought that Agnes would be such a bright and talkative girl until Luna came. I never thought of Misuzu’s true feelings. Mana and Ruriko were such stable girls now, also
I look at Nei.
I never thought that Onee-chan was lonely
i, no, I’m not
Nei’s embarrassed.
It’s okay. We’re alone right now
Okay
Nei’s body loosens up.
I see. I’ve been trying to force myself to become everyone’s big sister, but in the end, I’m just lonely
It’s okay now, I’m here for you
I massage Nei’s hand again.
I’m happy that Onee-chan’s here for me too
Yeah
Nei smiled.
Tell everyone else the same thing, okay?
Huh?
Kei-chan’s always been lonely. Therefore, you’re happy when someone stays by your side. But, that’s enough for you that you don’t need to be satisfied more than that
Me?
That’s why you accept everything from everyone. You don’t complain. Kei-chan, you’re that kind of guy
Nei stares at my hand that massages hers.
Kei-chan, you said that you were a hollow person, but that’s not true. Kei-chan’s full right now. You’re filled with a substance to the limit
Filled.
I mean, Kei-chan now has me, everyone. A family. Isn’t that enough happiness for Kei-chan?
That’s.
That might be.
It’s us who misunderstood. We’re greedy women, and so we’re not satisfied even though we’re happy. We want to reach greater happiness than now
Greater than now.
Mii-chan, Megu-chan, and I are the same. We’re happy enough to live together in this family, being together with Kei-chan, and yet, we wanted more
