Tsukiko speaks gently.
Compared to that, don’t you think it’s better if the sisters are together and under Kou-sama’s custody?
Sisters?
Torii-san looks puzzled.
Yeah, the next room has Rie and Eri. They’re twin sisters
I replied.
The elevator opens.
Yeah, I remember this floor.
The same room from last night?
I asked Kinoshita-san.
Yes, that’s right
Then I know where it is. Thank you, Kinoshita-san
I thanked Kinoshita-san who led the way.
It’s the room next to the monitoring room Minaho-neesan used last night.
It’s the nap room, it has a shower room inside.
Then, I’ll stay in this room, just call me when you need something
Kinoshita-san enters the monitoring room with a smile.
What’s with that person? She’s smiling despite hearing all of our conversations
Torii-san speaks ill of Kinoshita-san as soon as she’s gone.
She’s a specialist on the underground society work in Kouzuki SS
I said.
Kinoshita-san was a former Banbarubie 3 member.
She took lessons from Barbie-san and Ruby-san about the underground world.
Therefore, she’ll pretend that she didn’t hear anything and she’ll never speak of anything even when asked
How can you say that? Even if she’s from Kouzuki SS I’m sure that she’d speak a lot when there’s money involved
Torii-san who is in a bad mood starts deprecating Kouzuki SS.
That’s not true
Like I said, how can you declare it like that?
Torii-san shouts at me.
I worked with Kinoshita-san for a few occasions, she’s a professional. She’ll never betray us as long as it’s within the contract
I saw her during the combat with Cesario Viola in the hotel.
Then, if the contract’s null she’ll quickly turn traitor, is that it?
Torii-san speaks ill-tempered.
Kouzuki SS will renew their contract with Kinoshita-san before that happens. Talents like her are hard to come by. Kouzuki SS will never let people like her go, even if that means increasing their bonus Besides, Barbie-san’s order is to have her go to Kouzuki SS.
Kinoshita-san will stay here as long as she can learn.
Talent? That woman looked like she’s careless, uneager, her body’s thin, and she doesn’t look like a bodyguard at all. She’s at her high-school, right?
And that’s why she has the talent. Torii-sama, the fact that you didn’t notice it is what proves it
Tsukiko said.
What do you mean?
Haa.
Actually, Kinoshita-san has a babyface. Besides, she has a cute appearance. Ordinary people will see only that, but.
She’s a monster who swings that heavy and hard pulverizing flail with her delicate looking body.
I’ve seen Kinoshita-san take down 30 Yakuza alone with her fists
It was during the Takakura shrine incident when Jii-chan made a deal with the Yakuza.
You’re lying, aren’t you?
It’s the truth
Following what I say, Michi;
Master never lies
That’s the lie
Torii-san glares at Michi.
No, it’s true. Kou-sama’s an honest man
Tsukiko said.
Yomiko, Luna, Koyomi-chan and I all feel at ease when Kou-sama’s close to us
That’s.
Ordinary people can’t help but have different thoughts from their speech. We can see the lies in the words, even from our fathers
Tsukiko speaks a bit sad.
However, Kou-sama’s words are exactly his thoughts. Kou-sama only lies only when he must do so, but, we know that he does that out of his love for the family
Right, it doesn’t mean that I don’t lie.
I speak out lies when I have to.
For example, I’m not actually Agnes’ Papa.
And because Kou-sama’s so straightforward, we can feel at ease seeing other people’s minds. We stay by his side in peace
Tsukiko said.
Agnesan too. Kou-sama influences her the most, and so she’s growing to become a girl who never lies
Speaking of which, she really is.
Agnes always says what she thinks, and it shows on her face.
She doesn’t keep secrets. She doesn’t speak lies.
And since Luna and Koyomi-chan lives with Agnesan every day, it influences them too
Agnes who has no two-sides lets Luna and Koyomi-chan feel at peace.
Agnes wants to get along with them from the bottom of her heart.
Mao-chan too wants to be best friends with those in the family.
And Kou-sama’s the center of it all. Kou-sama’s existence saved us
Tsukiko.
Right, someone who can read minds must be in constant pain.
Most of the Takakura shrine maidens have their minds fall ill.
It’s not just with people who can read minds
Michi;
We also can feel at ease because Master’s here
What are you girls talking about? I don’t get it
Torii-san complains with a displeased look.
Could you explain it further to me? I mean, I didn’t even get what you’re trying to say
No, that’s.
Sorry, I don’t think Torii-san will get it
I replied.
Those unrelated can’t understand
Even so, Torii-san;
And that’s why I’m telling you to explain it to make me understand? Did you forget? Kaan Momoko-oneesama had me go here! You’re accountable for me!
No.
I don’t think you’ll understand no matter how much we try to explain to you. I mean, it’s not like we can explain it, nor we want to
I.
Torii-san, all you have to do is report to Momoko-neechan what you see, and what you know. Besides, even if Momoko-neechan sees us as cruel people, I don’t really care
Our circumstances and position in our lives are different.
There will be a gap between mutual understanding no matter what.
What’s this, you’re running away?
Torii-san feels it that way.
No, it’s not that
You’re evading me
That’s not it. Torii-sans looking from up high. Higher than us
I said.
Therefore, I can’t explain it in a way that it’ll reach Torii-san’s height
What? I don’t get it
Then.
It’s basically If you’ve never eaten while crying you don t know what life tastes like.
Tsukiko said.
I know that line, it’s Goethe, isn’t it?
Torii-san replies.
You may understand the meaning but you’ll never fully understand it if you don’t experience it personally
Personal experience.
Those who had the personal experience can perceive it.
Is that so?
Someone smeared in mud will only focus on their emotion and complain about the one who isn’t
I said.
In the end, Torii-san, you don’t like the fact that we’re turning Sonoko-san into prostitutes, or that we’re erasing Tendou Otome’s memories, and also the fact that the girls in the next room are my slaves? Do you feel angry?
Torii-san seems annoyed.
Yes, that’s right! Isn’t that obvious?
She looks at me angrily.
This isn’t something you should do to others! You’re all the worst! I won’t forgive you!
And she looks at us from far away where there’s no mud.
We think the same. This is the worst. That this is unforgivable
Then.
But, this is the only way! We’re doing the best of what we can too!
What’s best there? The best choice is to make everyone happy!
This is what happens because not everyone can reach that happiness!
Nobody can give everyone complete happiness.
I’m doing all that I can with what I can do within my reach.
That’s not true! You’re just lacking in the effort! That’s obvious! I’m sure it is!
Torii-san doesn’t get it.
I mean, those girls are going through a horrible experience because of your selfish desires! That’s definitely it! I know that!
She never had dirt in her hand.
She’s not someone who spent her nights feeling only her temperature, alone, unable to see the future.
Hey, you’re too noisy! What’s with all that screaming in the corridor.
