Tsukiko said.

She also has a strong preference toward women, but she’s not purely lesbian. I think in her case, it’s just a strong longing for someone of the same sex during puberty She admired Matsumoto Maki-san so much that she went off on such a crazy tangent just for her.

And, it’s not just her, Matsumoto Maki-san too

Tsukiko?

She’s not strictly into the same sex. She’s just like Marika-san. She likes women, but she can also love men

Tsukiko looked at Matsumoto Maki-san.

Wake up

Tsukiko calls Igarashi Izumi

Ugh, uu

Igarashi Izumi regained her consciousness.

I’ll take her downstairs and have her wash her makeup

The principal’s office has access to the hidden staircase.

We have enough equipment there that we can confine ourselves for a few days and monitor the mansion and the school.

Of course, that includes toilets and shower rooms.

Tsukiko’s in the Nadeshiko department together with the prostitute cadets, so I guess she’s been in the basement with Minaho-neesan

If you’d please, Tsukiko-san

Minaho-neesan presses the switch hidden in the principal’s desk and the door to the basement opens.

Okay, I think the conversation will go along better without me for a while

The Matsumoto siblings can’t be at ease talking to us if Tsukiko, who can read minds, and control people, remains.

If you’d excuse me then, let’s go

Okay

Tsukiko takes Igarashi Izumi.

It’s our turn to talk now

I look at the Matsumoto siblings who look worried.

I don’t think Matsumoto-san can understand what our family is like unless I tell you how Marika and Erica joined our family

Indeed, I’ll tell them the story

Mariko said.

Go back to your seats. We can’t talk like this

Marika and the Matsumoto siblings are sitting on the floor.

That’s right. Marika-oneesama, Matsumoto-san, take a seat

Erica said with a bright smile.

Matsumoto-san.

Marika looked at Maki-san, then.

I understand. Give us a moment, Miki

Yes, Nee-san

The three returned to their seats.

Well then, let’s start with Erica’s side!

Erica started the conversation with energy.

1398. School Festival Day 2 Chiki Chiki

That’s how Marika-oneesama and I met thanks to Kou-san

Erica gave a brief history of her and Marika’s story.

Yes, I would’ve had to quit high school and become unable to treat my mother’s illness if I didn’t get Kou-san’s help

Marika said.

It’s all because we joined Kou-san’s family. We’re not talking about funding to become a musician we mentioned earlier, but, these are things other people would never do for me. No, I think that some things in the world can’t be done unless it’s with the family Erica-san and I were lucky that Kou-san accepted us. And, Kou-san loves us, his family, and the family also loves him

They’re all precious people to us now. I love our family

Me too. And, I want Matsumoto-san to join our family too

Marika and Erica speak with their best, but.

The Matsumoto siblings look confused.

Oh, our family’s too specific that you can’t convey the image that well.

I’m also in Kou’s family. Tsukiko-san too. Also.

Mariko’s speaking with a bright tone, but.

No, Mariko, that’s far enough. It’s too early to let them meet the whole family

I said and looked at Matsumoto Maki-san.

Matsumoto-san, let’s eat dinner at my place. That’s okay, right? If you want to go home before the curfew, then we can send you off with a car. Marika always goes to school on Monday mornings however I’m hinting that they can stay over.

There should be no problem as Marika always does this and just tell the dorm that she’ll stay out.

As for Miki-san’s, maybe we should contact your mother’s family telling you’ll have dinner outside? Well, if you want, I can have an adult from our family call them, but I don’t think that would cause them to worry Not me

Minaho-neesan smiled wryly.

Unlike me, we have people in our place who are much more well-received. Don’t worry

Katsuko-nee or Nagisa can talk it out with Matsumoto Miki-san’s family.

But if it’s Minaho-neesan, she’ll definitely get mistaken for kidnapping them as soon as she says We have your girl in custody

Also, do you know where your grandfather is right now?

I asked.

We’ll take care of the trouble first. It’s nothing much to us anyway

We just need their grandfather to give up on his desire to take control of his granddaughters.

If not, the Matsumoto siblings can’t be at ease

No, uhm, but.

Matsumoto Maki-san looks at me.

We, haven’t decided whether we’ll join your family or not

We haven’t decided yet, and we can’t decide. We still have a lot we don’t know

Miki-san speaks her unease.

That’s something else. But when it comes to joining the family, that’s where we’ll continue supporting you two until you become professionals

I looked straight into their eyes and replied.

Although, your problem with your grandfather is something that needs fixing right away. Otherwise, Maki-san will have to quit high school, and Miki-san will have to sell her violin.

Hearing that, Miki-san looks at her treasured violin.

Therefore, we’re cleaning up the problems first. Also, we’re taking our compensation

How do we pay it back?

Maki-san looks at me worriedly.

That’s for later. This is all too sudden for me too

I’ve already decided to take these beautiful sisters.

Marika also wants her, and the sisters have a good personality.

I think that it’s good for all of us if we let these girls join the family.

However, we can put that discussion for later.

Anyway, we want to fix your Grandfather’s issues first. Matsumoto-san, should we move on?

I ask for their confirmation.

Miki?

Maki-san looks at her sister with unease.

Uhm, as for the compensation, do we have to pay only if it all goes well?

Miki-san asks.

Oh, she knows. What a clever girl.

That. You don’t need to compensate for anything if it fails. I won’t tell you to pay for all the necessary expenses. I can guarantee you that

Nee-san, if that’s the case, we should make the request

She decides quickly as she hears my promise.

right, then, if you’d please

Maki-san bows her head.

I

We can’t just ask Jii-chan if it’s a drugstore chain owner, right?

I asked Mariko.

Indeed. Kouzuki-sama’s position in the financial world is too high that it might not go through

He’s the first generation who grew a large drugstore chain.

If he faces someone from the nobility, especially the Kouzuki house, he might just rebel and the conversation gets complicated.

I don’t think our Torii electronics made deals with the drugstore chain, but I’m sure Momoko-oneesama knows someone who has business with them

Kaan Momoko-neechan.

Momoko-neechan runs her own online shopping company, and she knows various business owners through the parties in the business world and in the Kaan group.

I’m hoping to get a meeting with Matsumoto-san’s grandfather tonight in some hotel

Then.

If you go through the surface line, then it’ll take so much time that you won’t get that far

Minaho-neesan said.

True, Mariko will contact Momoko-neechan, ask Momoko-neechan to introduce us to someone who knows Matsumoto-san’s grandfather, and then, introducing us to that person, it won’t end today Yes, Kou. At times like this, just go directly through him from behind the scenes

Minaho-neesan looked at the Matsumoto siblings.

You girls have your grandfather’s contact number, don’t you?

yes, I have it on my phone

Matsumoto Maki-san replies.

Then, give it to me, I’ll talk to your grandfather. It’ll be a little intimidating, but it’s inevitable in your situation
