I hear a gentle voice from the other side of the line.

I.

Love you, Shou-neechan Me too, it was amazing last night

I had sex with Shou-neechan last night

Me too, it felt amazing Great. I’ll handle the rest Yes, thanks My schedule is still full today, good luck Thanks, take care, Shou-neechan You too. I’ll be excusing myself now Later, Shou-neechan

I ended the call.

So, Anju-chan, Seki-san’s going to handle your case personally

Kinoshita-san smiles.

You don’t have to worry about it anymore then, Anju-chan

Right, Kurose Anju shouldn’t worry anymore.

Shou-neechan’s a perfectionist in her work.

If you have worries, then you can contact your family later when we returned to the mansion

I told Kurose Anju

You can also ask Seki-san for the details about your family

Nei said.

By the way, you can’t tell your family about us. I think that Anju-chan’s family phone has someone from the Ishigami house listening

I think Nei’s right about that.

I don’t think that the Ishigami house would be honest enough to admit their faults and apologize. They’ll try to find something to blame us for when we meet them. And that’s why they’d use you or your family for that That’s the reason why.

Shou-neechan’s sending protection to Kurose Anju’s family.

To keep them safe from the Ishigami house.

But, don’t worry, no matter what the Ishigami house does, they’re no match against Kouzuki SS Let Shou take care of it. She’s amazing you know

Edie also added.

I understand, I’ll leave it to her

Kurose Anju said.

I also need to make my resolve now

Just like Miki-san and Izumi.

She can’t run away now that I found her.

That’s right, give up the struggle. Join me

Kinoshita-san’s voice echoes in the van.

Still, even after two pastries, I’m still hungry. What about you Boss?

Kinoshita-san seems to be a big eater.

I.

I think I also want to eat something.

Should we return to the mansion right away?

Kinoshita-san asks

Yo-chan won’t get enough rest, if we go back to the mansion now, there will be a lot of hard work for Yo-chan

Nei objects.

We can’t go to any shops with this group either.

Edie looked at everyone in the van and smiled.

It’s Monday Today.

Furthermore, it’s already past 8.

Putting aside Kinoshita-san, Tsukiko, Nei, and Edie wearing work gear.

I’m in my school uniform, Izumi’s in her sailor uniform, Miki-san’s wearing her middle-school uniform, and Kurose Anju’s wearing a jersey.

We can’t go to 247 family restaurants or fast food.

If so, let’s go to Minaho-oneechan’s place

Nei suggested.

Minaho-neesan stayed over at the hotel in front of the station, the current Black Forest facility.

Either way, we’re going to meet up with Minaho-neechan later

This afternoon, we’re going with Minaho-neesan to take away the talent Agency

Right. Let’s not have Minaho-neesan go back to the mansion to join us

I’m the one who asked Minaho-neesan to come with us to the talent agency.

We should be the ones to join up with her.

Wait, I’ll contact her

Nei took out her phone and called Minaho-neesan.

1467. Show Business Arc – Two Photos Okay, we’re here

Kinoshita-san says from the driver’s seat

I can see the usual hotel through the windshield of the car.

It’s been thirty minutes since Nei called Minaho-neesan.

Last night, we came here in a limo, but today, we’re using a work van.

Kinoshita-san parks her car underground, just like last night.

Okay, get off everyone. Don’t forget your stuff

Nei leads the group and got off the van.

Matsumoto Miki-san steps out of the van carrying the violin with great care.

To her, this violin is precious because it contains the memories of her late father, so she brought it instead of leaving it at the mansion.

She doesn’t trust us completely yet.

Err, let’s go to 602

The basement of the hotel is the annex of the Black Forest brothel, where Minaho-neesan trains Misato and the other prostitute cadets.

We can’t take Izumi or Matsumoto Miki-san to a secret location.

We’ll just use the room on the upper floor that we used last night.

Well, Minaho-neesan owns the hotel so the security is perfect, no need to worry.

Nei, Kinoshita-san, Edie, Tsukiko, Izumi, Matsumoto Miki-san, Kurose Anju, and I rode the elevator up to the 6th floor.

We went to the assigned room, knocked on the door, and Minaho-neesan welcomed us.

As usual, she was watching us from the cameras as soon as we entered the hotel.

Good work, get in

Room 602 is a party hall.

There are enough chairs around the large table for us.

Sit wherever you want, you must be hungry, room service can prepare whatever you want. The menu is here Thanks

Kinoshita-san immediately opened the menu.

We all sat down, and then Minaho-neesan;

How was it, Matsumoto Miki-san? Has your note changed since yesterday

She asks the violinist.

What do you mean?

Miki-san asks back.

You see, in musical movies or manga, there’s always this development where the character improves as they go through a painful life experience, right? People who have experienced pain in their life can play with more emotion. I hate that trope Minaho-neesan said. After all, that’s not what talent is about. Talented people will naturally apply even the smallest experience in their play, and people without talent can’t even apply the most inspiring experience to their performance Miki-san listens to Minaho-neesan with an earnest attitude. On the other hand, if a person experienced something too painful, they can get paralyzed and unable to do anything artistic. Human senses have their limits, and if broken by a strong stimulus, they won’t even be able to distinguish what’s sweet from salty.

In Minaho-neesan’s case, Shirasaka Sousuke kidnapped and forced her to become a prostitute.

Her sister died, and her body can’t bear a child.

She lived a hellish life in that brothel for 16 years.

I want you to be able to take what you’ve experienced and use it to improve your performance.

Miki-san’s experience for the past two days.

Reconciling with her grandfather, being able to continue playing the violin.

She watched her sister lose her virginity to me.

Then, she saw her sister change.

Furthermore, she parted with her supposed boyfriend this morning.

Miki-san thought that it was love, but realized that it wasn’t.

I realized deep down that I’m just a dumb girl who is easily influenced by my situation

Miki-san replies.

She was approached by a man who want to be in a relationship with her and she agreed without being sure whether she liked him or not.

Indeed. If you continued dating that man you don’t even love, you would’ve experienced sex as he wanted it. If you hadn’t met Kou that is

Minaho-neesan speaks frankly

Right. I think that I would’ve gone with the flow

Miki-san replied honestly.

Now, you’re surrendering yourself to Kou, don’t you feel that you’re just letting the flow carry you away again? That’s.

Minaho-neesan said. Miki-san’s confused.

I see.

Currently, Miki-san is ashamed that she accepted Sakuragi Kenichi’s offer of getting into a relationship out of the flow, and she’s feeling violent regret.

I’m worried that she might just go with the flow and become my woman, doing the same thing again.

I’ve lost faith in myself. I discovered how foolish I was

Miki-san replied.

Minaho-neesan;

If you’re unsure of who you are, then you can consult your music

Miki-san’s music. Her piano performance.
