「 Uhm, why do I have to be punished for that? 」
Megu who’s soaking in the bathtub asks.
「 Well, why did you hide it, Megu-oneechan? 」
Mana asks.
「 Well, there’s no need for me to talk about it 」
「 You should’ve. I mean, you should’ve kept silent all the time if you don’t want to talk about it 」
Mana?
「 Try and think from the opposite side. If there was a mail sent to Onii-chan saying: “I like you, I know that you have a fiance already, but please date me,” what will Megu-oneechan do? 」
「 I won’t allow that. I’ll meet that person and talk to them 」
「 Hmm. But what if Onii-chan didn’t tell Megu-oneechan that such email reached him? 」
Megu’s shocked.
「 Yoshi-kun will tell me. He’s not someone who keeps secrets 」
「 Yeah, Onii-chan’s like that. But, this is a “what if” 」
Mana presses Megu.
「 What if Onii-chan has received a confession email and kept it secret all this time 」
「 I-I don’t like that. I don’t want him not telling me 」
「 Well, he may have rejected them, but it doesn’t mean that he’s not meeting with other girls, right? Onii-chan’s alone with a girl who confessed to her while keeping it a secret! 」
「 I’ll never allow that!! 」
Megu shouts.
「 Hmm. So, what about Megu-oneechan? 」
Mana stares at Megu.
「 Huh? 」
「 Have you met and talked to the seven boys who confessed to you, Megu-oneechan? 」
Megu looks at me.
「 Yoshi-kun, I 」
Megu’s panicking.
「 I-I didn’t meet with any one of them alone! I bring my friend or have Takeshiba-senpai interfere! 」
「 Excuses don’t matter. You say that you don’t like it done to you yet Onee-chan, you did it to Onii-chan 」
Well, err.
「 I trust Megu 」
「 Yo-chan, you mustn’t spoil her with kind words 」
Nei said.
「 We always need to a.s.sume the worst situation. Isn’t that what Kuromori does? 」
Worst situation?
「 Even if one of us gets in trouble, it becomes a big deal 」
Nei looks at Ruriko.
「 If something goes wrong, the sparks might even reach Kouzuki house in a blink of an eye 」
Oh, I see.
There might be someone who’ll try to shake Kouzuki house through Megu or me.
「 Besides, you have to think of the possibility of Megu-chan becoming a victim of a s.e.xual crime 」
Nei.
「 We have a surveillance system in our school, we can do something about it when something happens, but 」
We’ve got hidden cameras, Edie and I can come to help, even if it’s a bit far away.
Using disaster prevention sirens, or even activating sprinklers in that room, there are a lot of ways to stop rape.
If the situation is within the school, our monitoring system will track automatically.
If one moves on an unexpected area, the alarm will sound, Minaho-neesan, Katsuko-nee, Margo-san, someone will come to confirm it.
「 But still, Yo-chan needs to worry 」
Nei said.
「 Try imagining this. Megu-chan was about to refuse the confession, so she went to the designated location. It’s behind the gym where not much people pa.s.s through. Megu-chan asked a friend girl to accompany her just in case but what if that girl was actually a bad girl? 」
Huh?
「 Then, there are a lot of delinquents who were waiting for Megu-chan wanting to do lewd things to her at the designated place. That’s possible 」
Megu’s raped?
「 The mail sent to Megu-chan was actually a trap. They wanted to a.s.sault Megu-chan from the very beginning 」
「 That’s! 」
Megu’s speechless.
「 It’s not unlikely. Some guys think “They’re quite cheeky for just first-years,” in regards to Megu-chan and Yo-chan’s engagement. Their hatred wants to mess happy people 」
Nei speaks with a serious look.
「 To be honest, we always check out what the delinquents do at our school. And in fact, some were really talking like that. They were joking about it, however. But, it’s possible that they’d want to try out what they were kidding about, right? 」
Some guys talk about gang raping Megu while laughing.
「 Sorry. I think I’ve been lacking in vigilance 」
Megu apologizes to Nei.
「 Yeah, you should talk to us instead of your friends from now on, okay? If you need someone to come with you, then I’ll go, and Edie will hide in caution 」
「 Yes 」
I
「 What’s wrong, Onii-chan 」
Tears fall to the water’s surface.
「 Onii-sama, is there anything wrong? 」
「 Papa, why are you crying? 」
My tears aren’t stopping.
「 Yo-chan, it’s not something you should cry about 」
Nei said, but
「 I don’t like it 」
I.
「 I never want Megu raped by someone else 」
「 Yoshi-kun 」
「 I don’t like the fact that some guys are talking jokingly about wanting to rape Megu 」
Dammit
「 I’m going to beat them up 」
Nei hugs me from behind.
「 No, you mustn’t punish people who do evil only in their imagination 」
「 But, Ya-chan 」
「 It can’t be helped. Yo-chan has made a lot of charming girls his own. Ruru-chan, Mana-chan, me, even Agnes-chan who’s out of school, the eyes of the people look with lascivious thoughts 」
「 I don’t like that. I don’t want that 」
「 It’s okay. The other people just imagine, but Yo-chan’s the only one who can touch us like this 」
Nei’s huge b.r.e.a.s.t.s wrap my head.
It’s soft.
「 But, I can’t do anything. I can’t protect my family 」
「 That’s not true, Yo-chan’s here, that’s why everyone’s happy 」
「 But, what if there was someone more amazing than me. Someone who can make everyone tremble on their feet talks about doing something to Megu? Even if it’s a joke, raping her 」
In the end, I’m useless.
They underestimate me.
「 Wrong, that’s. Yoshi-kun 」
「 It’s not. Someone like me is just being made a fool of everyone. That’s why, sorry, Megu 」
「 I said wrong 」
Then.
「 Megu-chan 」
「 Yes, Nei-oneechan 」
The two look at each other.
「 The family is sacred for Yo-chan. If we were raped by other men, Yo-chan’s heart would break 」
「 Yes 」
「 Therefore, we must not betray Yo-chan even if we die 」
「 Understood 」
「 Also, Yo-chan really needs a mistress outside the family 」
Nei?
「 if we just increase the number of our family, Yo-chan won’t be able to hold it. I mean, he needs a partner he can deal with normally without feeling the weight of the family 」
「 I understand that but why mistress? 」
Megu asks.
「 Yo-chan needs to have confidence as a man. 」
Nei said.
「 Yo-chan doesn’t know how amazing he is right now 」
「 I’m not. I’m just an average high school student, dumb, ugly 」
「 No, Yo-chan’s amazing. The best 」
Nei smiles at me.
「 Yes. I’ve never met a man as wonderful as Onii-sama 」
Ruriko.
「 Me too. Even if I am reborn in another life, I want to be with Onii-chan again. I don’t mind if my first time is rape again 」
Mana, why?
「 After all, Onii-chan’s loving us with all his life! 」
Loving with all my life.
「 Agnes loves Papa, desuno! 」
Agnes rubs her cute b.r.e.a.s.t.s on my side.
「 Only Papa 」
Everyone.
「 Me too. Even if I’m reborn seven times, I only want Yo-chan 」
Nei said.
「 No, I’m glad that everyone tells me that but, I don’t have the qualifications for that 」
「 Haa, this is the problem, there’s such a ma.s.sive gap between our actual evaluation of Yo-chan vs. Yo-chan’s self-evaluation 」
「 Because everyone in my family is so kind, so you have that high-evaluation, but in reality, I 」
I’m useless.
A useless person.
「 Megu, you didn’t talk to me about the confession emails and dealt with it yourself because I’m not dependable, right? 」
「 T-That’s not true, Yoshi-kun! 」
Megu appeals to me.
「 I wonder, from what I see Yo-chan’s right, Megu-chan’s underestimating Yo-chan 」
「 I’m not that kind of woman! 」
「 I see, then, what kind of woman are you? 」
Nei provokes Megu.
「 I 」
Megu stands up from the bath and goes to the washing area.
Then, she sits on the tile floor facing me.
「 Megu 」
「 I’m sorry! Yoshi-kun!! 」
Megu prostrates herself before me.
「 I thought that Yoshi-kun might hate me if you discovered that other men confess to me 」
Huh? Why?
「 Captain Takeshiba scolded me that they sent me confession mails because they seem to think that they have a chance with me 」
Megu.
「 If I was more dignified as Yoshi-kun’s wife then I should never show them a chance, other boys shouldn’t come to court me 」
「 No, but that’s because I’m a useless guy who’s not suited for Megu 」
「 Wrong! It’s my fault that the boys are trying to court me! 」
Megu
「 But you see, believe me, Yoshi-kun. I love Yoshi-kun! I love you so much! I can’t go on without you! I don’t want to let go! 」
Megu’s crying.
Tears fall from her eyes.
「 I’m sorry for not telling you. I’m sorry for keeping it a secret. I’ll consult you everything from now on. I’ll do as Yoshi-kun says, please don’t hate! Please, I beg you!!! 」
Megu’s presses her forehead on the tile of the floor.
「 Yo-chan, go to her 」
Nei smiled and told me.
「 Yeah 」
I get out of the tub and head to Megu who’s still prostrating herself.
「 Raise your face, Megu. I won’t hate Megu 」
「 But 」
Megu still looks at me, crying.
「 Here, Megu 」
I spread my arms and wait for Megu.
「 Yoshi-kun! 」
Megu jumped to my chest.
「 Megu’s a beauty, so it’s inevitable that boys will come to confess to you 」
「 Wrong. If they all see me as Yoshi-kun’s wife, then this wouldn’t have happened 」
「 That’s not it, Ya-chan’s right earlier, some guys will try to come and make a pa.s.s because they think that it’s interesting 」
Anyway, the world isn’t filled with people who’ll just support us.
「 Then, what should we do? 」
Megu looks at me.
I don’t know either.
「 Everything doesn’t go as the ideal. Good or bad, just endure it and swallow it up 」
Nei said.
「 Swallow it up? 」
Megu asks Nei.
「 Yes. You know that living is a hard thing for Yo-chan, right? Megu-chan, you’re the worst at swallowing it up 」
「 Nei-oneesan? 」
「 You’re the one who is the closest to an average person among the family. That’s why we understand why you have a lot of things you can’t accept or agree on when it comes to Yo-chan’s relationship, but 」
「 I accept them too 」
「 Yeah, we know that. Megu-chan is a girl who wants to monopolize Yo-chan. You want him to be a husband for you alone, right? 」
「 But I’m also a member of the family 」
Megu knows the other members of the family.
This family is formed through me.
「 I love this family. I love everyone. I want to be with this family so I can hold myself 」
Megu’s also a girl who lost sight of her family.
Born in a brothel, her mother died.
Her relationship with the parents that adopted her, Yamamine, wasn’t bad, but, Megu’s always holding back, not opening up her heart to them.
Therefore, to Megu, our family is Megu’s first family.
She definitely doesn’t want to lose this family.
「 Yes, you endure. That’s Megu-chan’s limit 」
Nei said.
「 For example, Ruri-chan, is there anything you’re enduring with your relationship with our family?
Ruriko.
「 No, I don’t have any complaints 」
「 Why? Do you not want Yo-chan to have s.e.x with you more? 」
「 No. I know how hard Onii-sama’s working hard for us, I will do what I can to help Onii-sama and the family and do my best in it. I’m spending my every day satisfied. I’m only grateful 」
「 What about Mana-chan? 」
Nei asks Mana this time.
「 I’m not in a position where I can say that. I’m only allowed to live thanks to Onii-chan. They just included me to this family thanks to that. Onii-chan and everyone in the family is so kind to me, I’d be punished if I say that I’m enduring 」
Mana.
「 What about Agnes? 」
「 What’s enduring? 」
Agnes looks in puzzlement.
「 Agnes is okay as long as Papa’s here 」
She smiles at me.
「 Me too, I’m okay as long as Yo-chan’s here. I mean, it’s much more extreme for me. To be honest, Yo-chan is much more important than the family to me. I treasure Yo-chan’s happiness more than my life. I’ll do anything to make Yo-chan happy, I don’t care about anything else. That’s why I don’t feel like I’m enduring. Hardships are nothing if it’s for Yo-chan 」
Nei tells Megu.
「 I’m not blaming Megu-chan at all. Megu-chan’s the only one who wants an ordinary love with Yo-chan among the family, right? That’s not bad for Yo-chan at all 」
For me?
「 Yeah, the relationship of the family and Yo-chan is out of the norm. I think that his heart’s balance would tip if he doesn’t have an ordinary romance with at least one person 」
Nei said.
「 But, I want Megu-chan to understand. Megu-chan’s love isn’t also an ordinary one. You’re in the first year, engaged, living together, all while officially recognized by the school 」
Yeah.
「 Megu-chan herself says that you’re the closest to being normal, that means you’re not a completely ordinary girl, right? 」
She’s Shirasaka Sousuke’s illegitimate child.
Yukino constantly bullied her as a distant relative of Shirasaka clan.
Her father forced her to quit school and become a prost.i.tute.
The weight of reality Megu received so far isn’t ordinary.
「 That’s why, earlier, when we talked about Yo-chan cheating 」
Nei said.
「 Yo-chan needs to have s.e.x with a normal girl 」
Normal girl?
「 A girl who only looks at things around her, that’s enough 」
「 Why? 」
Megu asks.
「 Yo-chan won’t understand how amazing he is until he a.s.sociates with that kind of girl 」
Nei?
「 Yo-chan and we were forced into a situation where we have to think of our lives and the people around us at a young age, right? 」
Nei’s parents were killed, then she and her twin brother were imprisoned in Los Angeles.
Ruriko’s carrying the future of Kouzuki house on her back.
Mana lost her home and her name.
Agnes was confined in the bas.e.m.e.nt until 12.
「 We’re not from the ordinary. An ordinary student worry about their future, club, love, and everything else, right? Well, they also have family problems but, they’re not in the area of living-dying, killing-killed life like us 」
Yeah.
Indeed, our circ.u.mstances are abnormal. It’s too abnormal.
「 But, why does it need to be an ordinary friend? Why cheating, why mistress? 」
Megu asks.
「 Well you see, you can’t see everything on a relationship of just appearance. In Yo-chan’s case, I want Yo-chan to have s.e.x and look through the heart of an ordinary girl 」
「 But what about the girl who becomes Yoshi-kun’s mistress? To think that we’ll mess up that girl’s life just for Yoshi-kun 」
Nei.
「 This is why you’re also abnormal. Look, do all the girls in the world marry their partner a virgin? Of course not, right? 」
「 That’s 」
「 We’re all quite unusual. We’re also greedy. We offer our virginity to Yo-chan, and we devote ourselves to him, no longer accepting any man. We made a pledge and will die protecting it. But, that idea is somewhat strange.
「 Is that so?
Ruriko asks.
「 I thought that one should dedicate their lives to the man they give their virginity 」
Err.
「 There are people like that too but, it doesn’t mean that everyone is like that. While at it, the commoners of j.a.pan date some people, trying out their compatibility with them before marrying 」
「 My, is that so? 」
Ruriko’s surprised.
「 I can’t imagine. To think that they have s.e.x with many men 」
Ruriko.
「 My womb will only accept Onii-sama’s s.e.m.e.n so please be at ease 」
She smiles at me.
「 Me too! I’ll never allow anyone other than Onii-chan! 」
Mana said.
「 Me too, but isn’t that just the view of the minority? That’s why Iw ant Yo-chan to have s.e.x with ordinary girls also. If Yo-chan understands average high school students, Yo-chan can compare himself and us to them 」
Nei said.
「 Obviously, we’ll pick a virgin. Don’t want Yo-chan to have s.e.x with someone already playing with others. Then, once that girl wants to date or has s.e.x with another guy, the mistress contract is over. That’s all. The rule is never to let the girl join the family 」
「 Isn’t that too selfish of us? I feel sorry for the ordinary girl 」
Megu said.
「 Why? Why can’t we do wrong? Yo-chan will make that girl feel good, and he can learn from her 」
Nei.
「 Ethics or Morals don’t matter to us. We’ve thrown that way long ago 」
Nei tells Megu.
「 I understand. I’m also a woman who’s buried in the darkness of her father 」
Megu agreed?!!???!??
「 Yeah got it. I understand. Yoshi-kun, you can cheat. No, please do. I’m okay with it 」
She looks at me with moist eyes.
「 But, you won’t hate me, right? 」
I.
「 I won’t hate Megu no matter what happens. You know that, right? 」
「 un 」
Then.
「 Also, I’ll make sure to report when someone confesses to me 」
「 Yeah 」
「 And when I do, please violate me 」
Huh?
「 I want Yoshi-kun to carve in my mind and body that I’m yours 」
「 Got it 」
I said.
「 Then, let’s make it a rule when someone’s confessed to, they can have Yo-chan overnight, alone! 」
Nei said.
「 If we make that rule, Mana-chan would like to go to school sooner, right? 」
「 Yeah! When that happens, I’ll have the boys in the school to confess to me and have Onii-chan give me lots of love! 」
Mana smiles.
「 Yo-chan, are you okay with that? 」
If a man confesses to Megu, both Megu and I are upset.
To fix that;
It should be a rule that we’ll have s.e.x once they’re confessed to.
「 Right, let’s do that 」
「 Well, for now, Yo-chan will have Megu-chan for seven days 」
「 Let’s add that to Onii-sama’s schedule 」
Ruriko says while writing my s.e.x rotation table.
「 Yeah, thanks 」
Megu said bashfully.
「 By the way, Yo-chan 」
Nei laughs.
「 You know, ever since I changed my hair to black, until today 」
What?
「 I have 47 boys who confessed to me 」
Huh?
Ah, if I recall, Nei.
She talked about receiving confessions when Margo-san was in school, last year.
Margo-san kicks away all of the boys who were trying to make a move on her.
「 Look, lots of boys think that I rehabilitated after my hair turned back to black. I’m also an a.s.sistant in the bakery 」
Nei’s free, unlike Megu.
Naturally, they’d all apply for a relationship in full force.
But still, 47. 1
「 Amazing isn’t it? If you gather them all, you can charge Matuzakachou’s main building. I mean, should I make them? Also, if you add another one, you can make them dance 」2
Nei’s a fantastic beauty after all.
「 I’m sorry I haven’t talked to you until now, Teehee 」
Nei smiles at me sticking out her tongue.
「 I see! Yo-chan’s going to make love with me as much as the number of my confessions! Nufufufufu!! 」
Err.
「 With that said. Ruriko. Increase the number in my rotation with the number 47 」
At that moment, I feel my consciousness fading.
「 Kyaa! Yoshi-kun?! Are you okay?!! 」
「 Hey hey, what?! Yo-chan!!! 」
「 Onii-sama! 」
「 Katsuko-oneechan! Onii-chan fainted!! 」
「 Papa! 」
I fainted.
