Kurosawa-san’s out of Michi’s area.
But why? Why does it have to be me? I have nothing to do with all this!
Kurosawa-san’s right.
Why would Tendou Otome attack her friend, Kurosawa-san?
It’s because she thinks that it’ll create an opportunity if she hits her Qi to someone unrelated, like you
Michi continues to push down Tendou Otome.
Indeed. She thinks that she can create a counterattack on Michi-san if she finds a gap
Tsukiko said.
So that was a feint?
She’s going to sacrifice Kurosawa-san to create a moment of opportunity with Michi?
Is that all the reason?
Have you ever thought that I would assume that you’d do that?
Michi can’t read minds like Tsukiko, but she can read the flow of Qi.
She can sense Tendou Otome’s accumulating Qi to fire it off.or the person she’s targetting.
Therefore, she jumped at Tendou Otome with all her strength.
It’s all to prevent harm from reaching Kurosawa-san.
You really are despicable
Michi said and let go of Tendou Otome’s head.
Hmph, what’s wrong with it? If someone like me wants to fight people like you who have everything then I will use any cowardly means! A lapdog of a young lady will never understand
Tendou Otome shouts at Michi.
Dammit! Making me look like a fool! I.We do not have any other way!
She slowly gets up.
She’s still aiming for an opportunity to turn the tables.
Then.
Are you going to live your life with that pathetic excuse?
Tsukiko said.
You’re trying to gloss over the fact that what you did is betrayal to your comrades. Am I wrong?
Tendou Otome.
she’s.Naoko’s not my comrade!
She glared at Kurosawa-san.
She immediately swore obedience to your boss. She says that she’d gladly become a prostitute. Are you stupid? She betrayed me and our parents first!
Kurosawa-san voluntarily accepted to become the Kuromori house’s prostitute.
But.
She’s not my comrade! Naoko’s been looking down on Sonoko and me ever since last night. All night long. I know that
Hearing that, Kurosawa-san;
What are you talking about? You’re the one who looked down on me all this time! You’ve been bullying me and the other girls!
Tendou Otome and the other daughters of Yakuza bullied Naoko-san.
That’s because you were weak! As if I care!
Tendou Otome turns her down.
At that moment.
And since you’re weak too, you have no say in this
Michi releases her Qi.
Ugyaa!
Tendou Otome’s in pain, but.
It’s just body paralysis. Your consciousness is still awake
Michi speaks coldly, Then she looks at me with a fed-up face.
Wait, is she trying to do it again?
Yes, her aim was at Torii-sama while the quarrel was ongoing
Tsukiko looks at Torii-san.
Huh, me?
She makes us think that since she’s fighting Kurosawa-san, she will not aim at Torii-san.
But, Michi can sense Qi with extreme caution, and Tsukiko’s also here.
Why does she think that it’ll work?
People are creatures that put themselves as the standard
Tsukiko read my thoughts and replied.
Tendou Otome-san also puts herself as the standard
If she thinks that it’ll work on herself, she’ll do it.
Kou-sama, you think that others are much smarter, much skilled than you, correct?
Yeah. That’s obvious
I’m quite dumb, I believe.
Tendou-san thinks that other people are below her
Tsukiko said.
She puts herself as the standard and thinks that everyone else is below her
Huh, why?
That’s why she hates Michi-san and Edie who is much stronger than her. She thinks that it’s unfair. In her world, she’s the strongest
That’s.
It’s not just about their strength. She sees Kou-sama and all the young ladies of nobility, those who lived in a blessed environment as unfair people. That she should be on the top
Oh, a lot of people are like that recently
Torii-san said.
Therefore, she bullies the weak. And if she meets people who are above her, she gets angry because of her insecurity. She’s a problem child
She speaks as she looks down at her.
No, look, Torii-san.
You have that same insecurity too.
She’s not a real young lady because of her status as semi-nobility, but her attitude with those who aren’t from nobility is big-headed.
Kou-sama, people don’t notice it themselves
Tsukiko said.
You’re judging me yourselves! Do you think that you’re so great?
Tendou Otome’s body is paralyzed yet she continues to shout curses.
No we don’t, but we’re not going to attack our friends for whatever reason it may be
I replied.
Allies are allies. Those who betray trust aren’t allies at all.
Yes. That’s right, Master
Michi said, then looked at Sonoko-san.
What do we do with this woman?
Sonoko-san looks at Tendou Otome collapsed on the floor with a pale face.
She’s listening to our conversation with Tendou Otome.
Otome-chan, you lied.
She speaks in a thin voice.
sonoko, i’m
Quiet down
Tsukiko smiled and sealed Tendou Otome’s mouth with her power.
You kept on saying that you’re scared as you cling to me, it was just a lie
Sonoko-san looks down on Tendou Otome.
I think that she regressed to infancy yesterday
I said.
Yes. But it’s only this morning when she returned to her former state
Tsukiko reads.
But, you thought that it’s easier to regress to infancy and cling to Sonoko-san, right? You don’t need to stay away from Sonoko-san after all. You can take it easy feeling spoiled from Sonoko-san. Wait for our arrival and loosened caution, then escape together with Sonoko-san Correct
Tsukiko affirms my guess.
Michi, how did you know?
Michi noticed that Tendou Otome’s acting. That’s why she picked a fight.
You can see it if you look at her. A person who is afraid and confused won’t have that look in her eyes
Michi said.
Otome-chan fooled me
Sonoko-san said. Tendou Otome shakes her head, frantically denying it.
She can’t shake it that well since her neck and below are paralyzed.
You lied. You fooled me. You think of me as stupid, don’t you?
Sonoko-san.
Just so you know, I hugged Otome-chan last night, I’ve been thinking about you. Wondering what to do from now on. I was really scared. I was worried that Otome-chan might not come back, that you’ll have to rely on me forever, about what will happen to us Tendou Otome looks away from Sonoko-san. She looks at the ceiling that has nothing.
Ah, she’s no good.
Why is she escaping the gaze of the other party?
Sonoko-san’s staring at Tendou Otome.
I will become a prostitute. There’s no other way out of this. My fate is tied there. I will endure five years, and I think that these people keep their word when it comes to contracts and business. They gave me time to think, and they don’t give orders without listening, they let me decide Sonoko-san said. Tendou Otome looks at her in panic.
She shakes her head intensely.
They’re fooling you. Don’t trust them is what she’s trying to say.
I get what Otome-chan’s trying to say. But, sorry. But right now, I trust them more than Otome-chan.
Sonoko-san said. Tendou Otome hangs her head.
She looks back up the ceiling again.
Even if we’re together Otome-chan, I don’t think I’ll open up my life for you. Sorry, but I don’t want a life with Otome-chan anymore
And then, Sonoko-san.
Naoko-chan, I think you hate me, but we’re both going to become prostitutes. If we’re going to work together, we have to get along. It’s as you can see. Please get along with me
She bows her head to Kurosawa-san.
that’s, stop it. i’m the one who should ask for it
Kurosawa-san bows her head to Sonoko-san.
Then.
Oh, it looks like the situation’s better now
