Her father, Igarashi Kiyoshi-san, is an opera singer in Japan. Her mother, Igarashi Hidemi-san, was an opera singer in her youth. She’s currently a voice teacher at a music college. In short. Igarashi-san’s family is no stranger to the music world.

Minaho-neesan speaks while reading Izumi’s file.

Neither Marika nor Maki told me that

That Izumi’s family is famous in the music world.

Well yes. There are several kids whose families are like that in their school

Minaho-neesan smiled wryly.

Rather, it’s much rarer to find girls whose parents are not in the music business. There are daughters of musicians who are even more famous than Izumi-san’s family Oh, when a family has a child attending music school, it usually isn’t just the father and mother, but also their grandmother and grandfather, who had been musicians Nei said.

Marika and Maki weren’t hiding the fact that Izumi’s grandfather and parents were musicians on purpose.

Or should I say that.

They didn’t ask Izumi, so they can’t tell me either.

Especially, Marika brought Izumi with the intention of turning her into a pet.

She consulted with Minaho-neesan, asking her for permission before doing so.

Marika didn’t speak unless I asked her.

If the information about Izumi’s family was of any use to us, Minaho-neesan would take that opportunity to tell me.

uhm, please don’t cause trouble to Grandfather or my parents. No, please nyan

Izumi looked at Minaho-neesan with a complex face.

I know. Your grandfather and parents are not in trouble

Minaho-neesan told Izumi.

I mean. Izumi-san’s been with Kou all morning so you should know how he acts, right? You know that Kou won’t do anything that would harm his family

Izumi saw me ride to Miki-san’s middle school.

I do anything for the family.

And, Izumi’s also a part of the family.

Although, she’s a pet.

You understand that, and isn’t that why you’re acting spoiled right now, asking Kou to let you go to school now That might be nyan

Izumi looked at me with a gloomy face.

I see. She’s not an airhead, she just thought that she could say something more lenient now.

That’s why she said that so suddenly.

Don’t worry about it. Izumi-san didn’t return to the dorm yesterday, and to school this morning, we’ll make up a valid reason on our side and tell the school about it. There’s no need to trouble Izumi-san’s grandfather and parents, and they won’t scold you either Minaho-neesan said. Izumi, do you still want to go back to school sooner after that?

I finally get what Izumi was thinking.

I was scared of Kou-kun-san last night and this morning so I didn’t get to say it. But, if possible, I want to go back to school sooner

Izumi said.

I’m afraid that not returning to the dorm and skipping classes would lead to strange rumors about me and it would put shame on my Grandfather’s and my parent’s names Izumi’s afraid that not returning home last night and skipping class will be a problem.

Especially if her grandfather discovers it.

It’s okay. Your school is making a fuss about how Maki-san received a scholarship grant from the Kouzuki house. You’re supposed to be in shock and sick, you’ll get a doctor’s note too. I already talked to a Kouzuki-owned hospital through Kouzuki SS.

Minaho-neesan said.

Besides, if you go to school now, you’ll walk into the classroom in the middle of a lesson. Stay with Kou until noon and return to school in the afternoon as planned. That’s much more natural Minaho-neesan can see Izumi’s concerns and took steps in advance. Anyway. Please help me so my parents and Grandfather don’t worry nyan

Izumi bows her head to Minaho-neesan.

Izumi-san, you respect your parents and Grandfather from the bottom of your heart, right?

Minaho-neesan asks.

Yes, of course, nyan

Izumi replied with a confused look.

Izumi-san’s grandfather is also on the board of several music foundations. That’s why Izumi knew that now was not the time to be selected for a scholarship That’s?

Minaho-neesan said. Nei;

Oh, so that’s why Izumi-chan thought that it was weird that Marika told Maki-chan and Miki-chan that she could get a scholarship from the Kouzuki house

I see. Nod.

This case all started with the Matsumoto sisters, whose father suddenly passed away, and they were at risk of not being able to continue their studies due to financial problems.

Then, Marika introduced me to the Matsumoto sisters, asking if they could get support.

Then, before I could make my move, Minaho-neesan and Ruriko were working to get the Matsumoto sisters a scholarship grant from Kouzuki cultural foundation.

But, that’s.

Normally, any scholarship organization won’t grant the Matsumoto sisters a scholarship in the middle of the year, when they’re in the process of selecting the recipients for the next academic year Minaho-neesan’s right, the Matsumoto sisters aren’t getting the scholarship in the usual way.

Ruriko, the daughter of the Kouzuki house, forced them to become scholarship students of the Kouzuki cultural foundation.

And so, Izumi-san thought that what Marika-chan’s telling Maki-chan was suspicious, that’s why she dressed up like a delinquent and was forced to come with them If Nei’s conjecture is correct, then.

Izumi was sure that we must be trying to trick Maki and Miki from the start.

That’s why she was trying to break the conversation no matter what.

In short, the delinquent look was forced, but.

Her reasoning was right.

Maybe, Izumi-chan was planning to ask her grandfather to give Maki-chan and Miki-chan a scholarship grant from some music foundation, right?

Nei asks.

I couldn’t make that request nyan. Grandfather is indeed on the board, but he’s not a scholarship judge nyan, but still

Izumi;

I’ve been meaning to ask if Maki-oneesama or Miki-san could apply for next year’s scholarship. nyan

She even thought that far.

Izumi isn’t dumb like I thought.

She’s a little instinctive, but she has some reasons for her actions.

Of course, I know that it’s better for Maki and Miki if they could be scholarship students of a big foundation like the Kouzuki world cultural exchange center nyan. It also means that they can get to know the daughter of the Kouzuki house and Torii house Izumi understands.

She could figure that out, and yet.

Why was I so set on thinking that Izumi was a selfish and dumb girl?

Listen carefully, Kou. You need to understand it now

Minaho-neesan looked at me.

I told you earlier that Izumi-san’s grandfather holds a special position in the world of music.

Yes.

If I recall, he’s a world-renowned orchestra conductor.

It’s not uncommon for children or grandchildren of someone in a special position to follow the footsteps of the older

I heard that Izumi’s father followed her grandfather and became an opera singer.

Izumi, who was born to opera singer parents, is learning vocals in a music high school.

Those who rose to a special position in their field know from their own experience what kind of education to give to their children or grandchildren, and can provide the best environment for them to learn. They have contacts and connections within that field, at what age, where, which teachers, and what the child should study? They can successfully guide their children and grandchildren into the same world they’re in Izumi’s listening to Minaho-neesan with a depressed look. But you know, it’s hard for a child raised by parents who are top-notch in those particular fields to become top-notch in those worlds as their parents and grandparents. It’s only a rare case Huh? Of course, if they received a specialized education since childhood, then they’ll become a professional in that field. But, at best, they become first-rate, but most usually end up at second or third at best. It’s rare for someone to become first-class professional like their parents True, in sports, many children of famous athletes who become professionals aren’t as successful as their parents. On the other hand, children whose parents were second or third-rate professionals, have become great athletes Nei said.
