Chapter 1019. Noon Sunshine / Status quo & a new Challenger
「 U-Uhm, Misuzu-sama 」
Torii-san calls out Misuzu, who’s a bit apart from us.
「 In the end, what does this mean? I don’t understand 」
「 Oh? What do you not understand? 」
Misuzu smiled at Torii-san.
The other side leaves the conversation with Yomi and the twins and comes over to my side where I’m lying down on Mana’s lap.
「 I’ll go here 」
「 And then I’ll take this side 」
Two young bodies lie down next to me.
They cling to me.
「 Onii-san, sprawl your limbs 」
「 Spread your arms 」
「 Like this? 」
My head lays down on Mana’s lap and I stretch out my arms as the twins told me.
「 That’s right! Hehehe, arm pillow! 」
「 Arm pillow! 」
The twins used my arm as their pillow and cuddled with me.
「 I knew it, feeling Onii-san’s warmth is the best 」
「 Yes, same 」
Rie said.
「 Arisu-chan, Eri-chan and I are on Onii-san’s sides 」
「 Arisu-chan, you can lie down on top of him 」
The two cling to the sides so she’s going on top.
「 No, currently I am… 」
「 Don’t be embarra.s.sed 」
「 Yeah, Arisu-chan 」
The twins smiled.
Seeing that, Torii-san;
「 I couldn’t completely understand what Kuromori-sama’s relationship with everyone 」
She tells Misuzu.
「 I wonder? I think that Mariko-san already understands 」
She said with a smile.
「 Sure, we’re polygamy with Danna-sama as the center and we form such community. It’s deviated from the common senses, and we know that it’s ethically not allowed 」
「 It’s not even about permission, it’s about the probability. Such a relationship like this isn’t probable 」
Torii-san insists.
「 Look, Onee-san, she might be drunk from the cider? 」
「 Yeah. She’s on high-tension 」
The twins said.
Still, these two smell good.
No, all my girls smell good.
But, they have subtle differences.
「 I’m not drunk! I’m talking seriously here! 」
Torii-san told the twins.
「 How is it that you girls suddenly trust Kuromori-sama in such a short time?! Why are you so relaxed with him?! 」
Eri…
「 Because there are no lies 」
Rie too;
「 Onii-san’s always going with all his best 」
「 Huh?! What is that? I don’t even understand 」
Torii-san speaks annoyed.
「 Let’s see. Mariko-san, do you trust your Father and Grandfather? 」
Misuzu asks.
「 W-What? 」
「 Just answer the question 」
Torii-san thought for a moment…
「 Well, of course, I trust Father and Grandfather 」
Misuzu turned to Ruriko, who’s listening to our conversation with great interest
「 What about Ruri-tan? 」
Ruriko smiles gently?
「 Grandfather? Of course I don’t 」
「 Right, me neither 」
Torii-san’s surprised by what the young ladies of the Kouzuki house said.
「 Eeeh?! U-Uhm, Ruriko-sama, Misuzu-sama? 」
Ruriko…
「 Of course, I do love Grandfather. As his granddaughter that is 」
Jii-chan might be listening to the conversation in the courtyard.
「 But, I don’t trust every word and actions that Grandfather takes 」
「 Right. Grandfather does a lot of scheming without Ruriko nor I knowing and he never talks truthfully on everything 」
Misuzu said.
「 I don’t doubt that Grandfather loves Misuzu-oneesama, Yoshiko-oneesama, and me. But, Grandfather has some secrets. He purposely lies to us 」
「 We understand that he has concluded that it is what he must do. However, that means that we always doubt every word and move Grandfather does 」
「 What is is that he’s hiding from us? Why is it that he’s doing that? We want to ascertain the basis of his judgment 」
I…
「 Jii-chan is always giving us a trial. He’s giving us a test on whether we would understand what’s between the lines or not. Well, he probably doesn’t care if we don’t understand it anyway 」
Yeah.
「 Jii-chan’s a man who takes responsibility for what he does. Despite saying “I’ll leave this to you,” meaning, entrusting things to us…if we were to make a mistake, Jii-chan is ready to shoulder all the responsibility for it 」
「 Hearing you say that, does that mean that Kuromori-sama acts lightly because you know that Kouzuki-sama will come and help you in the end? 」
Torii-san looked at me.
「 No way. Jii-chan has that resolve and so I cannot fail. I mean, I won’t make mistakes 」
I smiled at Torii-san.
「 That means you have much more self-confidence than I thought 」
My self-confidence?
「 That’s not it. What I meant is that I don’t resign until I succeed. If one approach didn’t go smoothly, then just look for another method. It doesn’t matter how much time and effort it takes…that’s all I can persevere for after all 」
I look up at Mana who’s letting me lay on her lap.
「 Mana’s got it hard. It took us a lot of time for her to open up, to trust us, and it was a lot of trouble 」
「 Geez, Onii-chan, that’s in the past 」
Mana said bashfully.
「 Agnes-chan was harder compared to Mana. I mean, Agnes-chan didn’t even speak with Onii-chan or us at first 」
「 Huh, really? 」
「 But, Agnes-chan talks a lot now 」
The twins are surprised.
「 She changed a lot. I also changed in a good way ever since I met Onii-chan but Agnes-chan is the one who changed the most. Now, she’s happy every day 」
Mana.
「 Agnes-chan is a girl who needs to have s.e.x with Onii-chan until she was emotionally stable. But Onii-chan never missed a day and he keeps Agnes-chan satisfied 」
「 Right 」
That was during the time when Agnes always says “I want to have s.e.x with Papa”
Recently, she has calmed down, and so she’s still okay even if we skip a day or two.
「 Sure, Agnes took a lot of time, but that girl is obedient, and so I didn’t have any trouble. But, Mana’s filled with troubles back then 」
「 Yeah, true. I wasn’t that obedient back then. I’m sorry Onii-chan 」
Mana said, then pats my cheeks.
「 No, sorry, I didn’t mean to complain. There are a lot who are much more troublesome than Mana
「 I have caused a lot of trouble too back then. I’m sorry for that 」
Ruriko!
No, yeah, Ruriko took some time too, but still…
Compared to that, Ai and Megu…
Yukino too. She’s the hardest one.
「 Everyone caused some trouble to Danna-sama in one way or another. But, Danna-sama’s always calm, composed, and firmly accepts us 」
Misuzu said.
「 Eri-chan and Rie-chan’s desire to cling to Danna-sama now is something I understand. I had a time like that too 」
Misuzu smiled at the twins.
「 That is why everyone lets them be. We also want to stick to Danna-sama and hug him but maybe not now 」
Eri and Rie are taken aback.
Before anyone noticed, Michi, Edie, Tsukiko, and Yomi are here too.
They’re watching us
「 Ah, sorry 」
「 I’m sorry! 」
The twins try to get off me in a hurry but…
「 Don’t be. The big sisters know, and they let it be, you can cling to Onii-chan like that 」
Mana said.
「 Mana’s also lacking in Vitamin Onii-chan and I feel lonely and so that’s why I had him lay on my lap to resupply 」
「 Danna-sama’s been focused on us since yesterday and even today, I’m sorry for that 」
Misuzu apologized to Mana.
「 No need. Mana will just get spoiled from Onii-chan on her day 」
Mana smiled at Misuzu.
「 And so, let me recharge my energy for a moment 」
Yesterday and even today, I had my hands full with people related to Kouzuki house and the n.o.bility.
I hardly had any time with Mana.
Of course, I intend to compensate for that once we’re back in the Kuromori mansion, but…
「 Well then, Mariko-san, let’s return to the topic 」
Misuzu?
「 We do not trust our Grandfather, our blood relative, but, we… 」
「 Yes. We believe in everything that Onii-sama says and does 」
Ruriko…
「 What I mean is that I don’t understand why do you reach that conclusion 」
Torii-san shouts.
「 It’s because Danna-sama has no privacy 」
Misuzu smiles.
「 Mariko-san saw it too, right? Danna-sama’s always with someone from the family, and Grandfather and the other elder sisters love to use their hidden cameras and microphones 」
「 We always watch Onii-sama’s decisions and hit process of who he wants to join the family 」
Ruriko added.
This Kouzuki mansion, the Kuromori Mansion, and even our school.
They all have surveillance systems.
「 All of Kuromori-sama’s words and deeds are understood in detail, and so you have trust in him? 」
Torii-san said.
All my women know who I talk to, and who I had s.e.x with.
They always watch my decisions and my actions.
That’s true.
「 Why do you think that way? 」
Misuzu said.
「 Onii-sama knows…that someone’s always watching him, that he has no private life at all 」
Ruriko smiles gently.
「 He knows that and he’s okay with it. Onii-sama never mentioned any dissatisfaction with his life 」
「 That size and depth of his generosity is one of Danna-sama’s biggest charms 」
Misuzu said.
「 No, I’m just dumb and so I just find it okay since it’s inevitable 」
「 And that firm stance is what’s wonderful. I love it Danna-sama 」
Look…
「 He is like that and that is why Grandfather accepted him as the fiance of the daughters of Kouzuki house 」
「 If it’s an ordinary man, even if it’s a man who inherited the blood of n.o.bility, they will be quite menial to the daughter of Kouzuki house 」
「 Or, they will bluff and act arrogantly 」
「 You can’t find a man who is so relaxed to accept us other than Onii-sama 」
Like I said earlier, I’m just an idiot.
It’s nothing you should praise me for.
「 Right…He calls Kouzuki-sama as “Jii-chan.” Even with Momoko-oneesama from Kaan house, he just went and called her “Momoko-neechan” I thought that he was a bit crazy but… 」
Torii-san said.
I see.
Now that you mention it, I might be.
「 Yeah. I guess I’m weird. Maybe my head has some screws missing 」
Then.
「 But it’s okay to stay like that Onii-san 」
「 That’s right. Onii-san, that weirdness is what’s great 」
「 That part where you don’t even hate that we’re using your arms as a pillow 」
「 I mean, you even took girls who are irredeemable like us 」
「 Daughters of Yakuza like us, or Arisu-chan, who was a young lady 」
「 You don’t discriminate, and you love us equally 」
「 Kinuka-chan too 」
「 Onii-san’s women keep in increasing but you still look like you can get more 」
Well…
「 After all, after increasing the family to this much, any number is just the same. I mean, the girls who are already in the family always welcome the new ones 」
「 Why? 」
Torii-san looks at me in wonder.
「 Shouldn’t you all hate how Kuromori-sama keeps in adding more lovers? 」
Err.
「 Worse, shouldn’t you all think of monopolizing Kuromori-sama? As a woman, Polygamy shouldn’t be something you approve of! 」
Torii-san a.s.serts.
「 That’s where you’re wrong. Torii-san, my women aren’t a.s.sembled because they want to become lovers with me 」
I…
「 I’m not that handsome, nor talented, nor intelligent. I’m just a man whose worth nothing, a boring man. They’re not putting up with polygamy because they want to stay with me 」
I have to make it clear.
「 Then, why is it that this inexplicable group is established? 」
Well…
「 What we seek is family. We all have been left behind by our real blood families. Therefore, we gather and create our family instead 」
I said.
「 Mana and I were abandoned by our family. Some of them had their family murdered, some can’t see their family again for reasons. Misuzu and Ruriko, and Jii-chan are like that, their family is too worthy that they can’t be an ordinary family 」
Torii-san stares at me.
No, Kinuka and Mitama too.
「 Anyway, we want a family for ourselves, and so we gather. And now, we’re doing our best to become one. Our family is a present progressive, and everyone’s in the middle of creating it 」
「 I mean, there’s no need to complete it. Our family continues to evolve. That’s why it’s okay to increase with new members in the group halfway. Darling and the group will accept them all 」
Edie said.
「 It’s much more fun to have more people in the family 」
Right, that’s why I don’t fear to increase the members of our family.
「 Even if left alone, they will keep on increasing. Everyone will bear Onii-chan’s children…people increase, a lot of trouble ensues, but everyone’s ready for it 」
Mana said.
「 Therefore, Mana and Ruri-oneechan will work harder so we can make up for Katsuko-oneechan in housework. We know that there will be more 」
Katsuko-nee teaches Mana and Ruriko about housework.
Next, Mana and Ruriko will teach the new girls.
「 Even in bodyguards. It’s easier now since Haiji’s with us. Mitama and Kinuka too, I’ll train them a lot 」
「 The two of them have good fighting strength but they need to increase their caution, concentration, and perception. That will be the priority in their training 」
Edie and Michi also know their place.
「 Yes, people increase. Danna-sama accepts as many people as he can. Therefore, it’s okay to depend on Danna-sama too 」
Misuzu told Karen-san.
「 Our family are girls who wish for their family to love them and Danna-sama is the one that connects the women. 」
Everyone looked at me.
「 Besides, Danna-sama never picks girls who will cause nothing but trouble 」
「 I know. Onii-san didn’t pick Otome-chan 」
「 Not yesterday, nor yesterday 」
「 Sonoko-chan and Naoko-chan, they weren’t allowed to come to the family either 」
The two daughters of Yakuza Minaho-neesan picked as prost.i.tutes.
「 That’s why we trust Onii-san 」
「 Onii-san is a bit lewd but he’s not a light man who’ll make a move on everyone 」
The twins said.
「 Therefore, Mariko-san, we are watching you with caution 」
Misuzu smiles gently.
「 Danna-sama is willing to accept even Mariko-san. You probably don’t see it as a burden, Although… 」
Torii-san looks straight at Misuzu.
「 But if it’s the current Mariko-san, Danna-sama might not even find you acceptable 」
Torii-san panics.
「 I-It’s not like I-I-I’m interested in joining everyone…nothing like that… 」
「 I see. It would be nice if that’s the case 」
Misuzu smiles.
「 If only she’s a little bit more honest to herself 」
「 Yeah, she’s too top-heavy that she lost her chance 」
The twins said.
「 Aaaaah! I don’t understand what you’re trying to say! 」
「 No way, you already do 」
「 As if you don’t understand 」
Eri and Rie reply with a nonchalant face.
「 Still, we’re aware that joining in this family us such great fortune 」
「 It’s like we hit the winning lottery numbers 」
「 That’s why I’ll be sure to cling with all my strength. I’ll even bite to make sure that I don’t let go 」
「 We have no place to return to after all 」
「 We have no other life but to be with Onii-san 」
「 Therefore, we follow anything Onii-san tells us, and we won’t be rude to the Onee-san either 」
「 We’re giving our best efforts to have the family completely accept us a day earlier 」
「 Therefore, everyone, please take care of us 」
The twins sit seiza on the lawn and bow their heads
「 Let’s do the same, Mitama, Kinuka! 」
「 Yes! 」
「 Ah, yes! 」
「 Please take care of us 」
Arisu and the girls bow their heads too.
「 There are still more who aren’t here so take care 」
「 Although, I’m sure that they’re watching through the cameras 」
Misuzu and Mana said.
「 Also, as for those who weren’t watching the video, some of them are quite fussy, sorry to ask but be careful with them. She’s Mana’s actual big sister 」
Yukino and Megu.
「 They’re not bad people, but they’re just a bit troublesome. I’m really sorry for them. I’m already apologizing before it happens 」
There’s no need for Mana to bow her head for that, but still…
She has the blood of the Shirasaka house.
Then…
Ruriko’s phone rings.
「 Yes, this is Ruriko. Yes, I understand. Goodbye 」
Ruriko ends the call and speaks to me.
「 It seems that Kurama Misato-san is ready 」
「 Got it 」
It’s finally Misato-san’s turn.
「 Please take care of Misato-oneesama 」
「 Please take care of her, Master 」
「 Please 」
Arisu, Mitama, and Kinuka bow their heads.
「 Yeah, I know. Leave her to me 」
I replied.
Oh right.
So that’s why we needed that talk about everyone
「 Danna-sama? 」
「 Onii-san, what’s wrong? 」
「 Are you okay? 」
Misuzu and the twins looked at my face and asked.
「 Darling, this is the test 」
Edie said with a smile.
She knows.
All the girls I had s.e.x so far all joined in the family.
But…
Kurama Misato-san will become a prost.i.tute of the Black Forest.
I need to teach Misato-san about s.e.x as a member of the Black Forest, a criminal organization, but…
Misato-san can’t join in our family as she’s a prost.i.tute.
She’s a woman we have to sell, and so she can’t be a woman only for me.
「 Darling needs this. It’s about time for Darling to step up 」
Edie said. It pierced me.
「 People who want family are accepted but, there are also girls whose situation doesn’t allow them to join in the family even if they want to 」
Right.
I can’t have s.e.x with Misato-san the same way I had with my other girls.
Misato-san resolved herself to live as a prost.i.tute…
Even so, I have to make it clear with Misato-san so both of us won’t have any lingering attachments.
「 Let’s go to another room, Mariko-san 」
Misuzu smiled.
「 I-I… 」
「 Isn’t it Kurama Misato-san’s duty to watch Kurama Misato-san’s fate? 」
Torii-san is here as per Kaan Momoko-neechan’s orders
「 Besides, I think that Mariko-san will find her answer there 」
That’s…
「 This is a first case where Danna-sama will have s.e.x with someone who will not join the family 」
Misuzu also knows the circ.u.mstances of my s.e.x with Misato-san.
