I’m the worst. I say, but I want to remain human
I don’t want to be a bastard who takes it for granted, thinking that they’re special, that they take away someone’s happiness, making them suffer, just like Shirasaka Sousuke.
That’s why I can’t forget that what I do is wrong, that it’s not allowed, that I’m the bad guy. That’s how I commit crimes, I don’t forget about it Yoshi-kun
Megu holds my hand
Why do you need to do it, Yoshi-kun? It’s for my family
I accepted Marika to the family.
I had sex with her, and Marika will also give birth to my child.
If Marika wants Matsumoto Maki-san, then,.
I’ll save Maki-san for Marika’s sake.
You don’t need to carry your burdens alone, we’re here, right? Mao?
Nagisa smiled at Mao-chan
Ushishi, that’s right!
Mao-chan hugs my hips.
If it’s for us, he’ll do anything, whether it’s crime or starting a bakery. That’s why we’ll do anything for him too
Nagisa.
Well, I say everything, but each one has their share of what to do. I can’t go to school with him every day. But, I’ve got things only I can do Mao will always take a bath with Papa!
Mao-chan
Oh, earlier, one of the customers in my shop said that his daughter stopped taking a bath with him after she reached elementary-age
Nagisa tried to explain.
Mao heard about that, then. Mao will always take a bath with Papa, even after elementary, middle, or even high school!
Mao-chan jumped at me.
I hugged Mao-chan’s small body.
What about Megumi-chan?
Mao-chan asks Megu;
I.
She goes back to her gloomy face.
What can I do?
I.
I’m able to talk like this because Megu’s with me Huh? Do you think I can tell Kana-senpai all about this?
Kana-senpai doesn’t know about the Black Forest.
Kana-senpai surely noticed that we’ve got something dangerous, but she doesn’t touch the subject. Since we don’t talk anything serious with Kana-senpai, we can maintain that easygoing relationship, but.
I looked at Megu.
On the other hand, serious talk is a no go to Kana-senpai. It has to be Megu
Megu’s born in the brothel, and she knows the Black forest to the depths.
But, it doesn’t have to be me No, it has to be Megumi-chan
Nagisa cuts off Megu.
You two are in sync. Just like how Katsuko and I are
Nagisa and Katsuko are the same age, and both of them got kidnapped in their freshmen year in spring.
You two are pretty much the same, going from normal kids, to entering the Black Forest, right? That’s why most of his confusion is something only Megumi-chan can understand.
Megu and I are of the same age.
Above all, he’s always trying to push himself to the limit, but he’s still an ordinary guy inside. Especially in the mental aspect
Nagisa smiled at me.
And, just as mentioned before, he’s already decided to work for the Black Forest after this. Now, try to guess what he wants to do right now?
She asks Megu.
Yoshi-kun’s.
Megu looked at my face.
Yoshi-kun would want to reset his mind before going to work Correct. I think so too. And, where do you think his reference point is?
Nagisa asks. Megu;
Yoshi-kun’s reference point isn’t Kuromori Kou of the Black Forest, but Yoshida Yoshinobu, a high-school student.
Yes, I’m.
Whether I become a crime syndicate member, acquaintance of the nobility, the owner of Kouzuki SS, or the master of the Takakura shrine maidens.
My true nature is still just a slow high-school guy.
I see. You’re right
Megu looked at my face and is convinced somewhat.
I want to dance with Yoshi-kun
I need Megu to return to my reference point, a normal high school student.
Not Kana-senpai.
It’s not Kana-senpai who’s one of the most beautiful girls in our school dancing with me.
Megu’s also a beauty that’s too good for me, but.
Megu and I are engaged, and the school sees it that way.
That means, dancing with Megu is natural, it’s normal.
It’s not about whether it’s okay or not. I want to dance with Megu, and that’s what matters Yes. Mao and I will be cutting in halfway, but Megumi-chan has to be the first one to dance with him or the people around won’t like it
Nagisa smiles.
The irregular event of me dancing with Nagisa and Mao-chan would be after I dance with Megu, which is the normal one.
If we don’t do that, I won’t be able to calm down until we convince the people
I can’t endure it unless I return to normal
I see. Okay, I got it
Megu grips my hand tightly.
It’s normal for me to be with Yoshi-kun Yes, it’s normal, it’s the natural
I also grasp Megu’s hand.
Thanks, Yoshi-kun. Nagisa-oneesan, Luna-chan, Mao-chan Say that to Kurose-san too. She’s been quiet all this time
I turn around to Kurose Anju, who had been guarding from behind.
no, I didn’t do anything
Kurose Anju was backing off, but.
Thanks, Kurose-san
Megu thanked her.
Wow Oh, that’s a lot of people
Nagisa and Mao-chan are surprised by the number of people.
Oh, there he is! Yo-chan Darling! This way!
The closing party is at the gym
Nei took Saito Yuki-san, the idol, and Fujimori-san, her manager.
Edie’s accompanied by Line Haruko-san and Rodulfo Seiko-san.
Katsuko-nee, Ai, Mitama, Kinuka, Eri and Rie from the bakery group.
Kana-senpai is with the tennis club.
I mean, that’s a gathering of people.
There are students up to the second floor of the gym.
Back then, they used to have bonfires outside and dance around it, but after a lot of circumstances, the fires are no longer allowed!
Nei explained to Saito Yuki-san.
And so, it’s held at the gymnasium in the 21st century. That’s great actually since you’re already sheltered from the rain
Right, if you dance around a bonfire, then it’ll stop as soon as it rains
Oh, the baker couple’s here! You guys should dance here
Seeing that Megu and I arrived, the seniors wearing school festival committee bands give instructions at the center of the gym.
Oh, you’re right, there are only pairs of men and women in line at the basketball court.
Err, it’s about thirty groups I think.
Well, that’s kind of normal.
Even if you gather all the couples in our school.
Not every couple would come here to dance.
Some are embarrassed so they won’t dance
On the other hand, I know some people here who just started dating today for this dance.
Okay, get ready, we’re about to start
Oh, Iwakura-san, the student council president, and also the head of the school festival committee is here.
She’s talking at the gym stage.
I didn’t see her at all today, but.
As expected, she shows up at the end of the school festival.
Are these the only couples dancing? We’re closing in five minutes!
Iwakura-san said.
uhm, Natou Nei-san, could you please dance with me?
Suddenly, guys surround Nei.
eeh? What’s going on? What do I do, Yo-chan?
Nei shouts at me.
Wait a second!
Then, five more guys come to Nei.
Natou Nei-san, please dance with me with the intention to date! Nono! Dance with me! No, it should be me! Please! Please! Dance with me Nei! We’ll use this dance and I’ll make you my woman, Natou!
The guys bring their hand out to Nei
Wait a second!
Then, another guy was off timing, trying to look cool, and appeared in front of Nei.
Woah, that’s youth for you, Nei-san
Saito Yuki-san’s eyes are sparkling.
eeh? But I don’t like this kind of thing
Edie comes over to the confused Nei.
