Chapter 988. Noon Sunshine / Meal Preparations

Wow, who’s this girl?! She looks so cute! 」

Eri’s surprised as she looked at Agnes and the girls who came to greet us.

「 Really. I mean, is she a foreigner? So cute! 」

Agnes looks at Agnes’ blue eyes and blonde hair and said.

「 No. She’s a half Japanese 」

I explained.

「 You girls look cute too! 」

Agnes smiled at the two.

「 Papa, you had sex with these girls, right? 」

Err.

Oh, Luna’s covering Mao-chan’s ears.

Mao-chan’s smiling and speaking loudly to not hear anything.

She knows that it’s a conversation she shouldn’t hear because she’s still young.

「 Yeah, I did have sex with them 」

I replied.

「 Then they’re friends? Agnes’ family? 」

「 Family 」

Agnes smiled at the twins!

「 Yay! We have more family! Mao-chan! 」

Agnes looked back, and Luna released her hands from Mao-chan’s ears.

「 What is it? 」

「 They’re family, desuno! 」

「 Yay! Ehehe! 」

Mao-chan smiles happily.

「 You see! You see! I’m Mao! What’s your name? 」

「 I’m Eri 」

「 Rie 」

「 Wow! 」

Mao-chan shouts.

「 We’ve met each other last night, and this girl is… 」

「 Koyomi 」

Then.

「 I’m Agnes! Let’s get along! 」

Agnes has become the boss of the young group.

「 Eri-chan, Rie-chan, I have something to ask! 」

Huh, what are you saying now Agnes?

「 You mustn’t lie to Papa at all! Never! 」

「 Yes, that’s right! 」

Mao-chan supports Agnes from the back.

「 Papa is always serious when talking to Agnes and everyone, he’s doing his best when thinking! Furthermore, everything she tells Agnes is the truth! I believe in Papa! Therefore, you can’t lie! You’ll make Papa worry and make him fall ill if you do! 」

「 Yes, you mustn’t lie! 」

So they think of it like that.

「 Also… 」

Agnes looked at Mao-chan, then Luna covered Mao-chan’s ears right away.

Mao-chan then again shouts “Aaaah, I can’t hear anything”

「 You need to make sure that your body is always beautiful so you can have sex with Papa anytime. Especially your breasts, Papa loves licking them, you must make sure that your nipples are always clean 」

H-Hey…

「 Also, when having sex, when Papa releases it inside Agnes and us, you have to look at his face. Papa’s always watching us while we’re going “ahn, ahn~” Then, once you’re done with sex, you need to give Papa a kiss, tell him “Thank you, Papa,” and pat his head. Papa did his best in sex just for us 」

A-Agnes, you…

「 Yeah, I get it. I’ll do as you say 」

Eri smiled.

「 Me too 」

Rie too.

「 Teach us a lot more, we don’t know much 」

「 Please do 」

The twins smiled gently and said.

「 Agnes, Eri, and Rie are older than you 」

「 Huh, really? 」

「 Agnes-chan, how old are you right now? 」

「 We’re 13 right now 」

Agnes looks down.

「 Uuu, Agnes is 12 」

「 But, Agnes-chan is the senior in this place 」

「 Yes. We came here after her 」

The twins said and looked at me.

「 Onii-san, this isn’t everyone, right? 」

「 There are still more people we have to meet, right? 」

The twins know the situation.

「 Yeah, only the young group are here. 」 Of course, there are more Onee-san for Eri and Rie. Speaking of which, where are they?

I asked.

「 Yomi-chan, Ruriko-chan, and Yoshiko-chan are preparing lunch 」

Agnes replied.

The three of them?

「 Katsuko-chan’s busy in her work 」

Oh right, Katsuko-nee’s dealing with Anjou Mitama and Kinuka.

「 Misuzu-oneesama, Edie-oneesama, and Haiji-san are doing some other business 」

Luna said. 1

Other business?

Perhaps it’s with Kurama Misato and Arisu.

While I think about it…

Mao-chan’s still shouting “Aaaaah, I can’t hear anything”

「 Still not done? 」

「 Oh right. It’s okay now Mao-chan 」

Luna lets go of Mao-chan’s ears in a hurry.

「 Papa! I’m hungry! Let’s go eat lunch! Ushishi 」

Mao-chan sai. Then we head to eat lunch.

◇　◇　◇

「 Oh, they’re back. Welcome to the Kouzuki house

Ruriko, wearing an apron, smiles at the twins.

Ruriko already met the twins last night.

「 This is Ruriko-chan’s house 」

Agnes told the twins.

「 Hmm, sure, it’s my home but to be precise, this is Grandfather’s home. Oh, we have hashed meat with rice here, do you mind? 」

Eri and Rie are surprised to see the young girl of a huge mansion is preparing lunch for us.

「 We didn’t know how many people would be coming for lunch and so we prepared hashed meat with rice and salad 」

Ruriko’s already a specialist in housework next to Katsuko-nee.

It looks like she cooked and waited for us from the private kitchen.

「 Agnes and the girls also helped out! 」

Oh, it looks like everyone had fun making food.

「 Everyone watched Mao-chan make sure she doesn’t do anything dangerous, don’t worry Papa! 」

「 I won’t do anything dangerous! geez! 」

Mao-chan’s annoyed.

Even so, the big sisters look after her.

「 Sorry. I was on the other side 」

Mana, the other specialist in the household speaks apologetically.

She went with me to the old building of Kouzuki SS, and so she apologizes for not being able to help out in the meal prep

「 It’s okay. Don’t mind it 」

Ruriko speaks gently to Mana.

Ruriko’s 15, and Mana’s 14, and these two created a sisterly bond before anyone was aware.

「 Okay, we’re bringing the dishes in 」

Yomi wearing an apron comes out from the kitchen.

「 Ah, I’m going! 」

Mana goes there trotting.

「 Agnes will help out too! Eri-chan and Rie-chan, come and help us 」

「 Huh, ah, right 」

「 What do we need to do? 」

Agnes takes the initiative and calls out the twins.

Luna, Koyomi-chan, and Mao-chan also come with them.

Oh, Mana’s looking after the wins.

Luna too. Luna was there when the twins lost their virginity as a fellow sex slave.

Mana who looks after the minor details and Luna who can read the twins’ mind.

If these two are watching Eri and Rie, I have no need to worry.

The twins understand the reality they’re in…

Yeah.

There’s no need to worry for now.

「 Onii-sama. Yoshiko-sama is a bit… 」

Ruriko whispers to me.

「 What’s wrong? 」

「 She lacks energy. She seems restless…also… 」

Hmm.

「 Yoshiko-oneesama’s cooking isn’t yet… 」

Oh, Ruriko’s trained completely in housework thanks to Katsuko-nee.

The person herself is motivated to learn and so she’s become better at cooking, but…

It hasn’t been long since Yoshiko-san started living with us.

I mean, Misuzu, Ruriko, and Yoshiko-san…

They stay in the Kouzuki mansion a lot to make sure that Jii-chan doesn’t get lonely.

Her housework skill hasn’t advanced that much.

「 Agnes-chan and Luna-chan are quick at their movements 」

Agnes also loves helping out.

Luna and Koyomi-chan can read minds and so they’re fast to progress.

They can absorb whatever the person teaches from their memories and mental image.

They’re different from ordinary girls.

「 Oh, I see. Most of the time, Katsuko-nee’s the commander in the kitchen so she can split the work cleverly 」

She can ask Yoshiko-san to do what she can right now.

She would be attentive to make sure that Agnes and the young girls don’t hurt Yoshiko-san’s honor.

Agnes, Luna, and Koyomi-chan are all 12.

Yoshiko-san is 18.

From Agnes’ eyes, she’s an adult, just like Nei and Tsukiko.

「 Yoshiko-oneesama’s been with me since childhood and we lived a sheltered lifestyle. She never decided on anything in her life. Someone’s always doing it for her every day 」

Cooking, laundry, cleaning…the servants do it all.

「 I have reflected on myself for the past half year and I was able to fix myself by training but Yoshiko-oneesama… 」

Yeah, when Ruriko started living with us and without Yoshiko-san…

She started developing her household skills.

Yoshiko-san probably feels that Ruriko left her behind.

「 Yoshiko-sama should’ve started learning how to do housework together with me half a year ago but it’s too late to think of that 」2

You can’t turn back time.

「 Ah, leave Yoshiko-chan aside! She might break plates again! 」

Hey, Agnes.

「 The plates here are expensive and so you need to be careful when carrying them, okay? 」

「 I’ll be careful 」

「 Right, Agnes-chan 」

「 Then, Mao will just watch 」

「 We need to be careful when carrying this, Rie-chan 」

「 Yes, let’s be careful, Eri-chan 」

Agnes takes the lead. Koyomi-chan, Luna, Mao-chan, Eri, and Rie watch and help out

Behind them is Yoshiko-san wearing an apron, she comes empty-handed with a gloomy atmosphere.

「 Ruri-oneechan, Mana doesn’t know much about this house, so what do we do next? 」

Mana calls Ruriko out.

「 Ah, yes. I’m coming. I’ll be taking my leave, Onii-sama 」

Ruriko goes to Mana’s side.

「 Yoshiko-chan, sit down together with Papa! 」

In the end, Agnes notifies those who aren’t helping out.

Wait, that’s not it.

The tableware is already prepared and the Hashed meat with rice is the only one left.

Bringing them in shouldn’t require a lot of people.

Therefore, Agnes.

She’s doing it to get along with Eri and Rie, the newcomers.

She asked the twins to help out and so Yoshiko-san has nothing to do.

Mao-chan’s watching.

I mean, Mao-chan’s work is to watch silently.

「 Uhm, excuse me 」

Yoshiko-san takes off her apron nervously and comes to me.

「 I’m a woman who can’t do anything 」

Well…

「 I feel that too 」

I told Yoshiko-san.

「 Kuromori-sama? 」

Yoshiko-san’s dumbfounded.

「 Or should I say that the girls are amazing. They’re all smart, and they absorb a lot of things 」

Ruriko, Agnes, all the other girls.

「 Well, it’s inevitable 」

Yoshiko-san?

「 After all, Kuromori-sama picks women with that gift for his family 」

That’s…

「 That wasn’t my intention really 」

「 Is that so? 」

Torii-san interrupts.

Torii-san sits down on a chair.

Michi follows behind Torii-san Just a precaution.

「 I don’t think so 」

Err.

「 Sure, Torii-san’s right. I don’t add girls who are selfish and can’t assess the situation 」

「 And I say that you choose because you see that talent 」

Yoshiko-san said.

「 I’m just a boring person. A person without talents. Therefore Kuromori-sama doesn’t choose me 」

Eeeeeh?!

W-What’s this?!

「 Yes, I thought of the same thing. He sentenced me as someone who isn’t intelligent in the building from earlier. Therefore, I thought that he’s ostracizing me 」

Torii-san too.

Then.

「 You know, Onee-san… 」

「 Can we speak? 」

Eri and Rie who were listening to our conversation join in.

「 You may say no but we’re still talking 」

「 Yes, talking 」

Hey, Eri, Rie, w-what?

「 A senior of ours in our home town, her name is Masami-san… 」

「 Masami-san, right… 」

「 That Masami-san is easy to fall in love 」

「 When she finds someone who looks cool, she immediately falls for the guy 」

「 But you know, she never makes the confession 」

「 She makes the boy confess to her 」

「 Actually, she sends some love-love beam from her eyes every day 」

「 Yes. Everyone can tell that Masami-san likes the man she’s looking at 」

「 She even comes to bring the guy lunch box 」

「 She goes in the guy’s vision at random and when he shows an opportunity, she comes hugging. Her attack is using physical contact 」

「 But, she won’t do the confession 」

「 She never does it 」

「 And the girls around the boy see that Misami-san is head-over-heels for the boy and so they’re not approaching him 」

「 She creates that atmosphere 」

「 I mean, she makes moves from the back 」

「 She uses monkey business 」

「 Even throws around gossips 」

「 That’s how he makes the other girls interested in the boy concede, and the friends of the boy tell him “I’m sure she’s waiting for you to make the first move. So do it!” she drags the situation that way 」

Oh, so there are those kinds of girls too.

「 And in the end, once the outer moat is all covered, the boy who Masami-san fell for will confess to her 」

「 And they start dating 」

The two said…

「 Look, no matter the process, if she ends up happy in the end, isn’t that good enough? 」

Torii-san said.

But…

「 But, they would never be happy 」

「 The world doesn’t go as smoothly as that… 」

The twins continue their story.

「 Masami-san is easy to fall in love with men 」

「 Once she finds another cool looking guy, she’ll think “that guy might be better” 」

That means…

「 Then, she’ll make moves behind the scenes to break up with her current boyfriend 」

「 Creating rumors 」

「 Or something like turning her boyfriend violent 」

T-That’s awful.

「 And she won’t say “let’s break up” herself 」

「 She’ll do a lot of things to make the guy say “I think we should break up” 」

「 Well, eventually, the boyfriend’s mental state is crushed to pieces and he’ll say “I beg you, let’s break up” 」

「 After pushing the guy so far, that’s when she’ll say “It can’t be helped, let’s break up” Masami-san always does that 」

Torii-san.

「 Why?! Why is it that she has to make everything so troublesome? If she wants to date the guy, then she should just say “Please date me,” and if she wants to break up, then say “I want to break up.” It’s a waste of time to complicate everything. She’s wasting her life 」

Then…

「 Do you not get it, Onee-san? 」

「 Masami-san doesn’t want to get hurt 」

Huh?

「 She doesn’t want to get hurt, and so she makes it that the guy confesses to her, and so she dated the guy 」

「 And then, she also thinks “this man begged me to break up, I’m unwilling but I let him go” 」

W-What.

「 I dated him, I let him go… 」

「 She’s always the one above the situation. “I granted their wish because I’m kind” 」

「 She’s like a volunteer 」

「 Wait a second! But, it wasn’t that Masami girl who wanted to date and break up the guy? 」

Torii-san shouts.

「 It doesn’t matter what was happening 」

「 it’s about how Masami-san feels inside 」

「 I mean, it’s the guy who said “Go out with me,” and “Let’s break up” 」

「 That fact is what remains, and Masami-san will think “I didn’t do anything wrong” 」

「 She can always go and find more cool-looking boys without hurting herself 」

「 In our hometown, it’s called Lorelei hell 」

「 Wrong, Eri-chan, it’s Marine Spirits Masami 」

Haaaaaaaaaa…

「 What’s that? So stupid 」

Torii-san said.

But.

「 Yes, it’s stupid. But… 」

「 Can you laugh at Masami-san, Onee-san? 」

Huh?

「 They do have that same ambiance as Masami-san. Right, Rie-chan? 」

「 Yeah, you’re right. They look similar, Eri-chan

「 That’s why we noticed 」

W-What?

「 Onee-san, you’re like that…you know… 」

「 You’re the type who removes obstacles on the way until the other party confesses? 」

Yoshiko-san and Torii-san?

「 But, that won’t happen 」

「 Yeah, Onii-san don’t fall for that tactic 」

「 Besides, the moat you’re about to fill is too wide 」

「 Doing that would be pointless 」

Yoshiko-san and Torii-san paled.

W-W-W-What?

I don’t get what’s going on.

「 If you fear that you’ll get hurt, you won’t be able to obtain anything 」

I looked back and saw Edie coming into the room.

Misuzu and Haiji are here too.

「 Ah, I’m glad! I was about to call you in 」

Agnes said with a smile.

「 Well now, let’s eat lunch!! 」
