you?
Karen-san’s surprised.
I’m Mana, nice to meet you
Then.
AS mentioned earlier, both our parents were murdered
My parents are no longer here
Luna and Koyomi-chan said.
And so, Adelheid-san, it’s okay to stay with us. We welcome you
i.
Oh, I see.
Adelheid-san is also an orphan.
Luna knows that from reading Adelheid-san’s thoughts.
No, that’s wrong.
They were reading Shou-neechan and Rei-chan’s thoughts.
Kouzuki SS should have checked through Adelheid-san’s history.
She’s an orphan yet. She has a license from the academy and is now a professional at age 13. Shou-neechan praises Adelheid-san.
They can see those thoughts.
Me too, I just lost my father
Ruriko shows a sad smile.
Ruriko’s father.Jii-chan took away his life to prevent his rebellion inside Kouzuki house.
Jii-chan looks at Ruriko with lonely eyes.
Therefore, Adelheid-san, I can feel like you and I are really, really, really close. You’re not alone
Ruriko-sama
Adelheid-san is moved.
However, you will need to resolve yourself if you want to join the family
Misuzu said.
Yes. I know the terms. I accept it
Adelheid-san replies.
The terms of joining this family.
That is, to become my woman.
That’s not a term or condition
Misuzu said.
Yes, all you have to do is bring happiness to Onii-sama
Ruriko.
Or rather, I should ask, are you prepared to love and live for the sake of the family?
Misuzu asks.
Hey! Cut!
Torii-san protests, but,
No, We’re a cooperative system. We’re not forcing anyone, it’s all for you to decide
Ruriko said.
Adelheid-san, I like girls like you. You’re a bit stubborn, but it’s cute
Me too
Shou-neechan and rei-chan talks to Adelheid-san.
Agnes also likes Karen-chan! I want you to stay with our family forever!
Me too!
Me too!
Agnes, Luna, and Koyomi-chan speak to Karen-san.
Karen-chan, what about you? Do you like Agnes and everyone?
Adelheid-san, will you accept us as your elder sisters? And the younger girls as your little sisters?
Adelheid-san looks at Mao-chan, the youngest of the group.
Mao-chan.
Huh? What about Mao?
Hm? What is she worried about?
Was Mao’s father murdered too?
Nagisa raised Mao-chan alone.
She doesn’t know who her father is.
It sure is one of the men who followed Shirasaka Sousuke’s orders and raped Nagisa, although;
Even if we find him, nothing will change.
Mao-chan’s Papa is Agnes’ Papa!
Agnes hugged Mao-chan and said.
We have a Papa! That’s why you don’t have to think about it!
Oh, right! As expected of Agnes-chan!
Mao-chan laughs.
She’s still young, and so she believes what her elder sisters tell her.
Right! Papa! Papa has always been Agnes’ Papa!
Ah.
As for Agnes.
She knows.
Agnes knows that I replaced Shirasaka Sousuke as her Papa.
And that Shirasaka Sousuke died, murdered rather.
It’s obvious! Agnes will forever be my Agnes
I look into her eyes and tell her.
That’s right! Hey, Papa!
Agnes smiles.
I love you!
I love you too, Agnes!
I know! Papa! Agnes also loves Mao-chan and everyone! Therefore!
Agnes.
I also love new girls! Right, Papa?
I look at Adelheid-san and Karen-san.
Of course, I welcome you two
Then.
Okay, let’s open a bottle of wine. The adults will drink wine, and the children will toast with juice
Katsuko-nee takes out a wine bottle.
Ah, you can’t drink, Dear. You still have jobs to do. And Shige-chan, you can only take a sip, take care of your body
I got juice.
Jii-chan gets only a sip.
Katsuko-nee calls Jii-chan Shige-chan when it’s just us family in the room.
Ah, Mana will help out!
I’ll also help out
Mana and Ruriko helped-out pouring wine and juice on everyone’s glasses.
ruriko-sama?
Torii-san’s surprised.
We’re in the dining table of Kuromori family, and so.
Ruriko helps out with the housework.
uugh, I can’t understand
However, Torii-san can’t understand why the young lady of Kouzuki house does that.
I wonder how do I report all this to Momoko-oneesama
Well, how about you tell her what you saw?
Misuzu said, laughing.
Kaan Momoko-sama is also my Momoko-oneesama. But, I don’t know whether she’ll believe my story or not
Is that so? I don’t think Momoko-oneesama will believe that any of this is true
Torii-san’s troubled.
The relationship in our family is hard to understand.
But, it’s not only Misuzu-sama and Ruriko-sama, but Kouzuki-sama also accepts this baffling group
Jii-chan’s watching all this on the same dining table.
I’m also a member of this family after all
Jii-chan smiles wryly.
What?
Torii-san stopped thinking.
Yeah, that’s right! Love you, Ojii-chan! Agnes and everyone feels the same way, right?
Nei said with a smile.
Yes! Papa’s grandpa is Agnes’ grandpa too!
Agnes replies with her angelic smile.
Err, shouldn’t that be great-grandfather?
Torii-san is dumbfounded.
You’re overthinking it
Jii-chan tells Torii-san.
i’m sorry
Torii-san shrinks back in fear.
Although, you’re entertaining. I can understand why Kaan’s granddaughter won’t let you go
Jii-chan stares at her, Torii-san shrinks further, saying haha-
You’re a good thinker, but, you’re held captive by the common sense from the environment that raised you
yes
But, once you break through that stiff common sense, you will become a functional girl who has great insight. The problem is caused by the environment that raised you, it’s not your talents
Is that so?
Try jumping over your common sense and think flexibly. Just like him
Jii-chan points at me.
He does not own Kouzuki house. He won over Misuzu, Ruriko, and I over to his family instead
What?
Torii-san doesn’t seem to understand.
Jii-chan and his granddaughters are our family, but.
The other Kouzuki clan members, like Kouzuki Souji, and Satoshi, they’re not our family.
Once you understand how it happened, you will also come here
Jii-chan said.
i will?
Right. Maybe not now, but once you switch to Copernicus’ way of thinking, I’m sure that Torii-san will join in our family too
Misuzu?
However, Yoshiko, how long are you thinking of using pity to join in?
Jii-chan asks Yoshiko-san.
i.
Yoshiko-san panics as she’s suddenly brought up.
You can’t wait for it. He’s busy as you can see, and so you need to become a bit more assertive, Yoshiko
Uhm, Grandfather, may I?
Yoshiko-san looks at me.
That means.
She’s asking whether it’s okay for Jii-chan’s last Granddaughter, Yoshiko-san, to become my woman as well.
That’s for you to decide. I’m not giving you orders
Jii-chan said.
Although, I don’t think you should stay in that status quo, where the other family shows mercy to you
yes
Yoshiko-san looks down.
Yoshiko should learn from the girl who mustered up her courage and asked to join the family earlier
Saying that. Jii-chan looks at Adelheid-san.
Then.
Don’t drink wine. You’re coming with me later. This will be your first job
Edie calls out to Adelheid-san.
As for Michi, you can. I will be guarding Darling later
That means, when I’m going to return to the confinement location for Tendou Sadao and the other Yakuza, Edie and Adelheid-san will come with me.
I will remain in guard here, I will not drink alcohol
Hearing that;
That’s our job. Leave it to us, and Michi-chan, go mingle with the other girls sometimes
Shou-neechan said.
Shou-neechan and Rei-chan chose juice instead of wine.
