121. Summer little sister1

「…Wait, Yoshi-kun, that’s not it!」

Megu told me.

「…If Yoshi-kun asks Maika-chan for sex then in the end…it’s just pampering Maika-chan…」

Saying that, Megu stands between me and Maika…

「Maika-chan…I won’t pamper you anymore…!」

「…Megumi-chan?」

Maika’s afraid

「Un… …I think I’ve been pampering Maika-chan all this time. She’s still young so I feel sorry, I thought that I had to be kind. But…I think everyone has been mistaken」

…Megu?

「If you say that…I’m still in my first year at high school…Yet I think I lived in a very cruel situation. But, I lived enduring it…!」

Megu exposes her naked heart in front of Maika.

Earlier…Misuzu told me to 『Discipline』Maika.

Minaho-neesan…「Calm Maika’s heart by the end of the night」…

And, Megu…is starting to approach Maika in her way.

「Even Yoshi-kun’s the same! Yoshi-kun had lived and endured a difficult life alone…We’re the one’s who should be sympathized!」

Megu strikes Maika with a loud voice purposely.

「…I-I’m sorry」

For the time being, Maika bows to Megu as she changed suddenly…

「Maika-chan…what did you think whenever there’s a family gathering and I’m always in my school uniform? Do you know what I feel back then? My mother was raped by Shirasaka-san…I wasn’t born as a blessed daughter…on top of that, I’ve seen my mother be a prostitute…being raped by various men everyday!」

Megu’s showing off her emotional scars on purpose.

「…I’m sorry. I’m sorry」

Maika just kept apologizing while showing a face not wanting to hear it.

「I don’t need your 『I’m sorry』!」

Megu shouted at Maika!

「And…My mother…when she was sick, she wasn’t taken to the hospital…she died. Shirasaka-san has abandoned my mother…!」

Megu’s spilling tears.

I embraced Megu.

「…Embrace me stronger」

「…Yeah」

「Yoshi-kun…I love you Megu doesn’t have anyone but Yoshi-kun…」

Megu embraces me.

「…Sorry, Maika never knew anything」

Maika looks down weakly.

「…I don’t care about that…!」

Megu pushed Maika.

「Yoshi-kun…Let’s take a bath together. Then…love Megu a lot, you should just leave Maika-chan. Megu will do anything…I love you…I love you, so…!」

Megu kisses me again and again…!

Embraces my back tightly…!

「…Megumi-chan…What should Maika do?」

Maika asks Megu with a teary face.

「…Think about it yourself. What should you do?」

Megu didn’t turn to Maika.

「But…I don’t know!」

Maika shouts at Megu!

Hearing that, Megu…

「…Maika-chan. You heard what Minaho-san told Yoshi-kun earlier didn’t you?」

「…Eh?」

Maika’s surprised.

「Minaho-san said…『This is the last chance』…!」

…That

I also noticed it.

「If ever Maika-chan was still selfish tomorrow morning…Minaho-san will abandon Maika-chan. Minaho-san is doing the troublesome negotiation for Maika-chan’s sake right now…!」

「What do you mean by that?」

Maika clings to Megu’s words…

「…I think that all of Shirasaka-san’s wrongdoings is ready to be announced publicly. I think the file sent to Ichikawa-san was made for that purpose」

…Right.

That file is in Minaho-neesan’s laptop she carries around.

It was sent to Ichikawa-san from the hotel room…

It’s ready to be announced to the public anytime anywhere.

I’m sure that Katsuko-nee and Margo-san have the same file…

「Shirasaka-san would perish by just sending that to various mass media. Of course, it would be a scandal that would get Shirasaka house involved…!」

No…It doesn’t need to be the mass media.

You can spill it on the internet.

If Shirasaka Sousuke’s file flows to the world, it would be the end…

It would be Minaho-neesan’s win at the moment.

When the file spreads out, Shirasaka house is no more…

「In exchange, Maika-chan, Yukino, Maika’s mother and Ichikawa-san would be involved in the scandal as well…! Shirasaka-san’s charges will be kidnapping, rape, and forced prostitution…and that’s for 20 years! It’s a very big scandal…If it’s known that her husband has done those crimes, she can no longer be a food critic. Ichikawa-san too, he’ll retire from being the representative of the company…he can’t come out because of the embarrassment!!!」

「…That’s」

「Of course…that doesn’t matter to Minaho-san. Rather, I think she’d be laughing as Shirasaka-san’s family suffer. But…Yoshi-kun took in Maika-chan…」

…Me?

…It’s my fault?

「Therefore, Minaho-san’s negotiating with Ichikawa-san to make a place for Maika-chan. Instead of making a scandal…I think she wants Shirasaka house and Ichikawa house to agree having to punish only Maika’s father. When that happens, Ichikawa-san and Maika-chan’s mother won’t be dishonored. Maika-chan and Yukino will be able to go to school as before…」

I see…She’s aiming for the head of Shirasaka house to abandon Shirasaka Sousuke by himself…

…Therefore, Minaho-neesan.

…Dammit

Minaho-neesan’s plan is really certain, simple and perfect.

Then, because I tried to help Maika…

…What I did caused trouble to everyone.

The mansion doesn’t need to be surrounded by those strange people…!

Nei-san doesn’t need to spend a night suffering…

「Yoshi-kun…It’s okay. Don’t worry. I think that the file sent to Ichikawa-san would be handed to the head of Shirasaka house. I’m sure that the head of clan would consult his people. And perhaps…Minaho-san’s file has a message included saying 『This file can always be publicized on the net』 The head of Shirasaka house would break by morning… Even if they suppress the mansion forcibly, if the essential files are sent to another location, it would be meaningless. They don’t know how many we are… No, they’re going to think that every prostitute in the mansion are all Minaho-san’s allies. It’s impossible to grasp the location of all the members in such short time. This battle is Minaho-san’s win since the start…!」

I-Is that so/

Then…That’s fine.

「That’s why if ever Maika-chan didn’t change until morning…Minaho-san’s file used to negotiate with Ichikawa-san would be put on public. As education for Yoshi-kun…」

「My education?」

Megu looks at me.

「Yoshi-kunright now is using the reason『She’s pitiful』for picking up girls She wants Yoshi-kun to only go with people he loves. I think the same…!」

…Megu

…I see

In the end…I can’t be optimistic…!

「But…Maika is a good girl! She’s a girl worth protecting with my life! I think that!」

Megu kisses me.

「That’s what I love about you…But, this is why Yoshi-kun is helpless…」

The trembling Maika turns to Megu.

「…Maika-chan, is Yoshi-kun worth risking your life for? What do you think? Today, Maika-chan certainly had horrible experience but…Yoshi-kun is helping you with all his best so you won’t experience more than this… You know that don’t you? What can Maika-chan return to Yoshi-kun then…?」

…Megu and Maika.

The two girls look at each other.

「…Maika doesn’t know!」

Maika mutters.

…Megu.

「Yoshi-kun, let’s enter the bath together. And love Megu with all your might tonight. Let’s just report to Minaho-san tomorrow that Maika-chan’s no good…」

Maika’s trembling hard.

「…Megumi-chan, please don’t abandon Maika…!」

Megu looks at Maika with angry eyes then shouted!

「…Don’t depend on me! Think what can you do by yourself!」

…I

「Megu…Is there no way but for me to abandon Maika?」

「…Un, I think so too」

「For example…I still have 10k yen, I’ll hand it to Maika and have her go home by taxi…!」

Maika’s eyes opened wide.

「Yoshi-kun…do you intend to betray us…?!」

Megu said 「Us」not 「Minaho-san」…

Megu’s heart is already a member of 『Kuromori』

「Minaho-san has Maika as her 『Hostage』so she can negotiate with Ichikawa-san…If you let Maika-chan go, won’t Minaho-san be troubled.」

「…Right. I cannot betray Minaho-neesan…」

Maika’s face became dark again and she looks down.

「Also…if Maika-chan runs away, Minaho-san would make the files public immediately. And that’s the end. Shirasaka house and Ichikawa house would take damage and Maika-chan’s family would be ashamed that she can no longer show her face outside for the rest of her life…That’s not all」

In short…There’s no way to save Maika.

「Then…If Maika submits herself to me, then is it okay to let her go after the negotiation with Ichikawa-san ends?」

Megu pinched my cheeks!

…Ouch!

「I won’t allow that! Why does Yoshi-kun pamper Maika-chan so much!」

…Megu

「Maika-chan, what about you! Yoshi-kun goes this far and yet you still intend to feel like you’re a princess?…!」

Maika’s stunned.

「I will never hand Maika-chan right now to Yoshi-kun! Maika-chan right now isn’t suitable to be loved by Yoshi-kun!」

Megu…is confronting Maika as a 『woman』

Not as Maika’s 『Sister』…but as my 『woman』

Megu has already prepared for the worst.

Throwing her home and blood…She really chose only me…!

「Megu…sorry…!」

I embrace Megu…

「It’s fine…I’m Yoshi-kun’s 『woman』」

Megu pats my cheek gently.

「Sorry for making it hurt…」

「It’s fine…」

「Let’s get in bath now. Then let’s have sex…Selfish girls like Maika-chan doesn’t matter anymore. Love Megu a lot」

Megu holds my hand and invites me in the bath…

「…Wait, Megumi-chan. Don’t go…!」

Maika calls Megu

「…Maika, really doesn’t know what to do…Please, tell me…Megumi-chan…!」

Megu turned around.

「Take a look at a mirror, Maika-chan…」

…Mirror

There’s a mirror pasted on the walls and ceiling of the love hotel’s room.

Maika and I look at the mirror.

「I’m with Yoshi-kun」

The half naked Megu who’s wearing only underwear inside the mirror is snuggling up close to me.

Maika’s alone.

「I’m happy… Being with the person I love…it really makes a calm and happy face…」

Megu in the mirror sticks closely to me and smiles satisfied.

「…You’re beautiful… Megu」

Tall and slim body that has a good style…

Long and narrow eyes…A beauty.

「Having such a beautiful girl stay by my side is like a dream」

Megu spoke…

「…It’s real. Megu will always be Yoshi-kun…!」

…I

The other girl reflected in the mirror…Maika.

Half-crying…she’s trembling like an abandoned cat…

「Maika-chan…I’m like Katsuko-san, I can’t do anything without Yoshi-kun. I’m not as beautiful as Nei-san. I’m not as bright as Misuzu-san…but, didn’t everyone say it? I am okay being Yoshi-kun’s 『Girlfriend』at school. It’s okay for me to be registered as Yoshi-kun’s 『Wife』too… Therefore, I have to do my best. To become Yoshi-kun’s cute wife…!」

…Megu

「Us…Yoshi-kun’s 『women』are doing our desperate best right now. Not just me…Katsuko-san, Nagisa-san, Misuzu-san too…Nei-san too, surely…」

…Nei-san too?

「Isn’t that right? Everyone’s so beautiful, and filled with talents… Everyone thinks of wanting to monopolize Yoshi-kun. Even me…But we know that Yoshi-kun loves each of his 『women』that’s why everyone’s holding back. Everyone’s enduring…!」

Megu said.

「Therefore…Everyone desperately polishes their worth to be Yoshi-kun’s 『woman』 I think that we will continue competing even in the future2」

Am I a 『man』worthy of it?

「If ever among the 『women』someone appeared causing Yoshi-kun trouble, we will remove her with all our effort. We hate seeing such a selfish person abusing Yoshi-kun. We’ll never allow it…!」

Megu looks at Maika in the mirror.

Their eyes met in the mirror.

「Maika-chan…it’s you」

「…Me?」

Megu spoke coldly.

「Maika-chan, weren’t you just causing troubles to Yoshi-kun all this day…!」

That’s not true.

I’m the one who suddenly raped Maika…

Maika’s just confused with the situation that happens to her body all this time…

It’s cruel to let this 14 year old girl decide on everything…

「Right…Maika has been causing troubles to Onii-san…」

…M-Maika?

「…Onii-san has been doing all his best to bring Maika to a 『place』and yet…Maika has been spoiled…and has been selfish」

…No, but…you see

「But…Maika cannot do anything. I can’t give anything back to Onii-san…」

Maika looks down.

「Clinging selfishly like that…and unable to give anything back, Maika-chan’s a 『Princess』…」

Megu’s eyes were cold…

「It was the same in front of Minaho-san and Tamayo-san. Maika-chan’s attitude is horrible. You’re shaming Yoshi-kun…」

…Eh?

I didn’t feel anything though…

「Un…Onii-san protects Maika…Made Maika everyone’s ally and yet…I think it was impolite」

「…Think?」

Megu glares at Maika.

「…I do. Onii-san, I’m sorry…」

No…Maika

Why are you apologizing to me…?!

I don’t get it.

Maika…looks at her own face in the mirror.

「…What a horrible face. Maika has really lost everything. Papa and Mama…My house and my family, I can do nothing but to give up…!」

The face of a cornered child is reflected on the mirror.

「Maika…don’t care anymore. I don’t care about my life. I don’t even know what I should do…!」

That’s a child’s speech.

She doesn’t accept fate…only asking for the impossible.

「Maika-chan…are you sure that you don’t care anymore?」

「Yeah. Maika doesn’t care anymore」

Maika throws away her life.

…Is this okay?

What should I do?

Can I do something about it/

What should I say…?!

Before I can find my answer…

Megu speaks to Maika.

「Is that so?…If Maika-chan gives up then…Yoshi-kun will find Maika-chan’s life…」

…Megu?!!!

「…Megumi-chan?」

Maika looks at Megu with a face of fear.

「Yoshi-kun will be the one to think about Maika-chan from now on. Maika-chan no longer needs to worry about herself. Live as Yoshi-kun says」

…T-That’s.

「In exchange…Maika-chan will devote herself to Yoshi-kun. Live with the thought of how to please Yoshi-kun. Live for Yoshi-kun’s sake. That is the only choice that you have right now…!」

「…Only one?」

Maika looks at Megu.

「That’s right. Maika-chan cannot think of anything else don’t you?…Then Yoshi-kun will think of Maika-chan’s happiness. Whatever happens, Yoshi-kun will protect Maika-chan. That’s why…Maika-chan should just think of Yoshi-kun…!」

「…Is that okay?」

Maika’s eyes captures me.

…I

「…Yeah, that’s right. I’ll protect Maika. You don’t need to worry about anything. Therefore…Maika should just think of me…」

Perhaps this is what Misuzu meant by 『Rule』

I think.

Megu has reached the same conclusion as Misuzu.

「…Is this really okay?」

Maika asks me again.

…I

「That’s not something Maika should ask. Maika should just answer me 『Understood, I’ll do as you say』…!

I asserted.

…Maika must not hesitate anymore.

Maika is too intelligent for a child so she thinks too much.

Pretending to be an adult strangely while having a gap of a child…is the point that makes her hated by other women.

Then…I just have to seal Maika’s thoughts.

Maika should no longer worry about herself.

「Yes…Onii-san. Maika will think about Onii-san from now on」

…Maika answered calmly.

Maika’s face in the mirror have changed.

From the abandoned girl…to a protected face of a girl.

…A face of a woman loved by someone.

Once again, Maika looks at Megu…
