Pure Love ✕ Insult Complex

"... that's my house"

Meg points to a house in the car.

The sun was already setting......

The sky remains cloudy... at night.

The corner of the residential area of Lower Town...... entered from a small shopping district, just behind the alley.

A small old house was built there.

"Wow... small"

Dance summer, raise your voice.

Probably only about two rooms on the ground and second floors.

Does it feel like the first floor is the living room and parents' room, and the second floor is Keimi's room and storage?

The glass door on the front door is broken and repaired with brown gum tape.

The light bulb in front of the front door is... blurry.

The paint on the slab wall had also faded considerably already.

More and more in the dim...... borough house.

In flattery...... I don't think it is the home of relatives of the famous Shirazaka clan.

"Well... it's smaller than Dancing Summer's house."

Dr. Bow says to Dance Summer.

"Ah... I'm sorry. I don't mean that."

On the apologetic dance summer, Meg smiles.

"It's okay. The House of Mountain Peak lives with the help of the Shirazaka family..."

That's what Meg said.

"of the Shirazaka main house... the late wife of the founder of the newspaper is more from the Mountain Peak family"

"Yes, she was originally the daughter of a newspaper employee. The founder had not seen it… once, the book was put in, but the reality was like a concubine."

To the teacher's question, Meg answers.

"The Mountain Peaks became related to the White Slope family with that...... because all but the Mountain Peaks are famous families in the political and financial world...... totally, they are the luggage of the clan"

The mountain peak houses from the common people... from the people in the White Slope houses were seen all the way down there.

"My adoptive father in Mountain Peak, my adoptive father's brothers... we all work for a related company in the Shirazaka main house"

"Are any of the newspapers joining us?

Meg, shake her head big?

"... the Mountain Peak people will never be allowed into newspapers or big companies. You will be designated as a subsidiary of a…… subsidiary of a group company. No matter how many years I've worked for a company like that, I can't be more than a section chief. The people of the Shirazaka family are being pushed into a position that they can never resist."

That's the kind of family that cares...

"You sound like an idiot... even the Shirazaka family was just a commoner until their first generation succeeded in the newspaper. I guess the illusion that you've become a famous family justifies that kind of stupid thing......!

The teacher told me to throw up.

"Dancing Summer...... I have Misuzu's Japanese dance presentation the day after tomorrow. Go with Yoshida and Emmi. 'Cause that's where all the real famous families of this country come together."

That's what the teacher says in Dance Summer.

"Look at the real first-class people. I can see how the White Slope clan is not real."

Misuzu…… is learning to dance at the family headquarters of Blue Blu-ray.

The presentation the day after tomorrow will be given by the classroom at his home.

Even though it's just a Japanese dance class presentation, the venue is the 'National Theatre'...

The kids who dance with Misuzu are all direct disciples of the family...... I guess they're just pretty famous ladies.

Naturally... it's that family that comes to watch the presentation.

Japanese... celebrities.

"Well, maybe it'll be a good study for you guys. Go away."

That's what Sister Keiko would say...

"Master Ning and Mr. Margo will also go... Sure, you'll go too, right?

"Um, isn't Keko going?

I asked unexpectedly.

"I... I'm not going to that kind of place. I hope it's been years since I retired... because I'm still supposed to be active. There are a lot of people in trouble when they look at each other."

It's before the dance summer, so Sister Keko chooses words.

... right.

There are plenty of people coming who were customers of Sister Keko...

"I'm fine, but... there you are."

I came here with my wife to watch my daughter's presentation...... face-to-face with Sister Keko may indeed be a twilight.

"So I'll turn to support the day after tomorrow...!

... Huh?

Not 'voicemail'...... 'support'.

That means I have some plans for action on that day as well...

of "Black Forest"......

"... Keko, how's it going back there?

The teacher has been observing what's going on outside the vehicle since just now.

He gazes at the dim light of the street lamp.

"The rear, too, is no abnormality. There doesn't seem to be any stakeouts or ambushes..."

Sister Kazuko also checks the outside of the car over the rear window.

"The Shirazaka main house doesn't seem to be moving yet..."

"Yes, Shirazaka Chuangsuke of Australia has left me out of touch with Japan... because people from the company and clan should still think it's a normal international business trip"

The teacher looks back at us.

"Okay...... it's time to go. Keimi and Yoshida, follow me. Keko and Dancing Summer, wait in the car."

"... Yes"

Meg is nervous......

"I'll take the hidden microphone... Dancing Summer, just listen to what's going on inside here with Keko"

My teacher... says so in the summer of dance.

"... Dancing Summer, you still don't trust us a few percent of the time, do you?

... Huh?

Dancing summer is...... goku and breathtaking.

"So... I want you to listen to me and Mr. Mountain Peak. You don't think Mr. Mountain Peak is trying to fool us, do you?

"That's... yes, my uncle at Mountain Peak doesn't think so"

The teacher stares straight into the summer dance......

"Then... listen here. About the truth about the Shirazaka family… I want Dancing Summer to understand."

"Yes...... ok"

Dancing Summer replied to the teacher.

"... take this,"

Sister Keiko gave me a small digital camera.

"Take a photo for you...... of Emmi's family and room"

...... take pictures.

"Today Emmi says goodbye to this house... in memory"

Meg... I'm not going home to this house anymore.

From the age of six...... lived ten years, leaving this house.

Break up with adoptive parents.

"It's the words of my esteemed famous photographer... 'Take as many pictures as you can. Anyway, you forget it'... you can be human, it's easy to forget. So you should leave as many pictures as you can of what you don't want to forget."

... Keko sister.

"Ok...... I'll take a picture,"

I grip the camera tightly.

"Yoshi-kun...... me"

Meg is... trembling.

"It's okay... I'm with you"

I... kissed Meg softly.

◇ ◇ ◇

"... just got back"

Open the glass door on the front door with a rag...... Meg calls out inside the house.

I hear footsteps from the doodle and inside the house.

Nearly fifty...... middle-aged men and women appear.

"… Emmi"

Keimi bows her head to both of us.

"Sorry I stayed out for the evening...... Father, Mother"

Meg's parents... don't look anything like Meg.

Of course.

Meg's adoptive father was... about a third of his hair was grey. You look like a serious person. I guess I just got home from work. He's wearing a tie to a grey suit. Good, a slightly dabbly suit. I felt like I had been wearing cheap ready-made products for a long time.

My adoptive mother was... a normal plain mother. My hair is short and I have no makeup. I look at Meg worried.

"I contacted you the other day… it's Black Forest"

Dr. Bow Xiao greets Meg's adoptive parents.

"If you...?

"Yes… I am the Lord of the Black Forest today"

The teacher answered with his usual cold eyes.

"Well... anyway, what is it here, so the story is inside... hey, you"

Meg's adoptive mother speaks to her husband like that.

"Ugh, yeah... right. Mr. Kuromori... please come up"

"... excuse me"

The teacher says so and takes off his shoes......

"Um... what about you?

Meg's adoptive mother looks at me.

"... Emmi's friend?

... I am.

"Yes, I'm Emmi's classmate. And... he's related to the Black Forest house."

Emmi's adoptive parents may not know the name of 'Black Forest' as a criminal organization.

So I answered that.

"I am not a suspicious person of my nature... I have come to ask you to help me unload Keimi's luggage"

That's what the teacher explains.

Well... if you want to get out of this house.

I guess I'll have to take Emmi's stuff.

"It's okay, Father, Mother... because this man is someone I can trust"

Meg said that to her adoptive parents with a serious eye.

"Ok...... please, come up"

In my adoptive father's words... I take off my shoes too.

"This way please..."

The room next to the front door was in the living room.

There is a seating table in the Japanese room.

Meg's adoptive mother puts out a duvet.

Six tatamis... a little narrow when we all sit down.

On top of a teacup, a bear carved of coke and wood.

On the wall, a simple calendar just for dates.

Something looks awfully showa.

Where tea is served to everyone, my adoptive father cuts out the story.

"Emmi... is this really where you were before?

"Yes, Father. Definitely. Mr. Kuromori has been taking care of me since before I came to this house. I remember it properly, though it was small."

"Keiko's real mother...... thank you very much for your help. I think this is an opportunity to reward you for that."

The teacher keeps telling Meg's adoptive parents......

"As you already know...... Keimi's real father, Chuansuke Shirazaka, is trying to make her a prostitute. I would never let that happen. Megumi, I will take it. And we'll protect you out of the reach of the White Slope house."

"But...... Mr. Kuromori. Are you... running a prostitution organization with Chuangsuke?

Meg's adoptive father, apparently, seems distrustful.

"We have already stopped running prostitution organizations. At the same time, Shirazaka Chuangsuke banished from our organization. Today, we and Shirazaka Chuansuke are completely separate."

The teacher answered… clearly.

"... yes, you said... I can't trust you"

My adoptive father affirmed that.

"I... honestly, I don't want to give Kei Mi to Chuangsuke. No parent wants to be a prostitute for their daughter they raised dearly. But... isn't Kuromori from the same prostitution organization as Chuangsuke? I have no guarantee that I will not let you be a whore."

From a normal person...... there is no difference between Shirazaka Chuansuke and the teacher.

We were both the owners of the 'Black Forest' whorehouse...

Maybe it's more impotent to ask me to trust you......

"… Shirazaka Chuansuke has already fallen into a trap"

The teacher affirmed, with cold eyes.

"It is now captured by our hands in Australia. Shortly, you will also discover trouble with gangs. Shirazaka Chuangsuke is sure to lose his legs. You will be banished from the main house of Shirazaka."

Meg's adoptive parents groan.

"In that case... Hye Mi will be picked up by the Shirazaka main house. For the Shirazaka main house, Keimi is Shirazaka Chuangsuke's... child of shame. You will try to hide it from the public thoroughly. I think we will be separated from the mountain peaks as well. Somewhere in the region… I think it's going to be deposited with the Shirazaka people and kept for the rest of their lives."

"Still... it's better than being a whore!

Meg's adoptive mother screamed.

"What's good...... It's up to Emmi herself to decide what life she chooses. Hye Mi... What do you want to do?

My teacher... sees Meg.

Meg... told his adoptive parents.

"Father, Mother... Emmi will go to Kuromori"

Meg bows her head to her adoptive parents.

"I'm no longer... at the convenience of the White Slope house, and I don't like being dragged around to live. Whatever the consequences... Emmi wants to get away from Shirazaka's house."

The adoptive parents...... face to face.

"But... Emmi"

My foster mother tries to convince Meg somehow.

But Meg...

"I'm sorry, Mother... I've already made up my mind. Until now, Huimi has lived quietly and according to her destiny. But I don't like it anymore. I... fight my destiny. Me... I want to be happy...!

... Hye Mi.

"I, on my own, have decided to leave this house. I don't think you can blame your fathers for running away from home... from Shirazaka's main house."

... right.

My adoptive parents are distressed by….

Is it because if you give Keimi to your teacher, the Mountain Peaks will be disposed of from the main house in Shirazaka?

"Hye Mi... you don't understand. There's no way the White Slope house would allow Mr. Mountain Peak to do that. I think you're going to suffer Mr. Mountain Peak with all your arguments."

The teacher... said so.

"... no"

Meg complains.

"… so I am forced to take you. Please report to the Shirazaka main house that 'Emmi was kidnapped by the Black Forest people'. You can also tell the person in the main house that we are already holding Shirazaka Chuanke."

Sir.

"Mr. Mountain Peak, I know perfectly well that you feel like one person and you can't go blade to the White Slope house. Mr. Yamamoto's brothers and relatives... they all work for the Shirazaka family affiliate. I can understand that you cannot betray the White Slope house."

The teacher... said so in a strong tone.

"... No, I am"

Meg's adoptive father tries to argue... but he has no words.

"The Black Forest House is a real criminal organization. We've committed that kind of crime many times before, so the White Slope house should believe Mr. Yamamoto's report."

"Black Forest"... abducted and kidnapped Sister Kezi and Mr. Kezi.

And... tailored to a whore.

It's not just the two of us.

So many women.

"... a criminal organization kidnapped your daughter. Mr. Mountain Peak is the victim... not our collaborator. Please contact the White Slope house the moment we leave this house with Hye Mi. So you don't have to worry about the fire powder falling on Mr. Mountain Peak."

... Instead.

"Black Forest" will face the Shirazaka main house in full......

"... then, Mr. Kuromori or Emmi..."

"Don't worry… we are ready to fight the White Slope house. Because we suppress Shirasaka Chuangsuke's personality."

That's what the teacher said, and he took the phone down.

Press the switch on the call sappily.

"... Keko, it's Phase Three."

Turn to the phone...... I'll tell you just one thing.

"Now Shirazaka Chuangsuke, who is in Australia, has been imprisoned in a place that only we know. In exchange for Shirazaka Innovation, I will negotiate with the Shirazaka family......!

"... impotent. Mr. Kuroshimori doesn't understand the horrors of the White Slope house!

Meg's adoptive father shrugged.

"I'm aware of impotence. And Mr. Mountain Peak doesn't seem to know either... we're a bunch of people who know the real hell...!

The teacher...... cold, smiles.

"We... have fought many times more horrible beings than the White Slope house. I'm not going to lose......!

And I took the white wrap out of the bag.

On the seating table...... place.

"Of course, I'm not asking Mountain Peak to let go of Keimi for free... here's 10 million yen in cash"

The teacher...... gave the paper wrap to Meg's adoptive father softly.

Meg's adoptive parents are... confused.

"Do you want me to... sell my daughter?

"This is in return for you reporting a lie to the White Slope house. We are only kidnapping her. [M] Regardless of Mr. Mountain Peak's will..."

The teacher...... sees Ji and Keimi's adoptive father.

"... on a check, you'll get a leg from the bank. I prepared it with notes that didn't match the number already in circulation. Depositing the full amount in the same bank is dangerous. Little by little, please subdivide them into accounts with different names."

Meg's adoptive father... is silent, watching the paper wrap.

"Please do me a favor... take it, Father"

Meg said strongly to his adoptive father.

"So... you tell us to cut off our relationship with you."

My adoptive father answered sadly.

"... no. Whatever your position, Emmi is your father's daughter and your mother's daughter."

Meg... told his adoptive parents.

"... Think of Emmi... as giving it to your wife"

Meg... look at me.

I... nodded heavily at Meg.

"... Father, Mother... thank you so much for your kindness and nurturing Megumi so far"

Meg removes her seat duvet...... hands on her adoptive parents and bows her head.

"Hye Mi... I will marry this man...!

Meg... look at me.

Meg's adoptive parents also looked at me in surprise...

... I am.

Imitate Emmi and remove the futon.

Put your hands on the tatami...... bow your head to Emmi's adoptive parents.

"... it's Yoshida. We are going out with you on the assumption that you and Emmi are married."

I said... clear.

"… Hye Mi, I make you happy. I would never do anything to make you sad...... lady, I'll take it......!

I...

I didn't like 'please give me your daughter'.

Meg is... old enough to decide his future by his own will.

from being influenced by someone's will...... should be freed by now.

Even from Shirazaka Chuangsuke......

Also from the Shirazaka main house......

And... even from adoptive parents.

I... again, I saw Meg.

"... Meg, marry me...!

... Meg is.

"... Yes"

And I answered small.

"I'll give you a proper ceremony when the time comes. At that time, please attend as Meg's parents. Please.........!

I... promised Meg's adoptive parents that.

"... you're serious"

Meg's adoptive father tells me.

"Yes...... I mean it"

I answered with clarity.

"Father, Mother...... I mean it too. I love this guy. I believe it. I'll follow this guy for the rest of my life......!

Keimi bows her head to her adoptive parents many times.

"You... these kids really seem to think so"

Meg's adoptive mother told her husband.

"Hye Mi gave it to my wife... yes, let's think"

My adoptive father looks back at my wife.

"... you, okay?

My adoptive mother nodded.

"It's many times better than being taken and made into a whore... or kidnapped. It's a celebration..."

My adoptive father took a small sigh of relief.

And look at me.

"... Yoshida, you were"

"... Yes"

"Regards, Emmi"

My adoptive father bowed his head to me.

... I am.

...... brace your belly in a good way.

"I will do everything I can to protect Meg......!!!

I'm also... going to be big prepared.

◇ ◇ ◇

"From here on out, I'll just talk to the adults... you guys, pack your bags"

My teacher... told me and Meg.

"Right... I think it'll take about thirty minutes, so pack in that time. Bring out only the minimal amount you need."

"... Yes"

Meg answers the teacher.

"Yoshi-kun, my room is upstairs... let's go"

"Ah...... yeah"

Exit the living room and ascend the narrow and steep staircase just beside you......

I can hear Dr. Bow Xiao from the living room.

"… This is the content of a report from Mr. Yamamoto to be made the main house in Shirazaka…"

The teacher says Meg's adoptive parents can't be blamed... and yet they've already prepared a report that only conveys minimal information to the Shirazaka main house.

This is my room.

... Meg's room.

In the Japanese-style room of the six tatami... there's a study desk, a bookshelf and a bed...

There was nothing else.

Girlish stuff, nothing...

"I've packed my bags... I've packed them already"

By the bed, two old travel bags lined up.

"Look... I was really supposed to be taken by Mr. Shirazaka at the beginning of Golden Week. So... I was ready."

... Meg.

Already, she was ready.

To my real father... to be corrupted by a prostitute.

So Meg...

I gave up my life so much......

"Wait. Because I'm just going to put together the school stuff right now. I thought you weren't going to school anymore. That's why I didn't put together all the stuff I used at school."

That's what Meg says......

All the school textbooks, notebooks, etc. were kept together on Meg's desk.

And spare uniforms and gymnastics, just wrap it up in a sports bag...

Less than a minute later, the packing was done.

I... take pictures of Meg's room.

"... what's wrong, Yoshi-kun?

"Because... this is the room Meg's been living in since she was six, right?

"Yeah... I've lived here for ten years..."

"Well... I have to take it in the picture"

"Right... you can't come home anymore"

Looks lonely...... Meg said.

"... after ten years of living, Meg's room is really beautiful."

Beautiful... nothing but the least.

There's not a single book on the bookshelf, not even a single magazine or cartoon or novel.

Only old textbooks are in there...... they are gallant.

There were no other stitches, no posters... nothing like a high school girl.

And the windows are wiped clean... and the floor hasn't fallen one chili.

Perfectly...... cleaned.

"I... thought I was just renting this room from Mr. Mountain Peak..."

In my room alone... Meg called my adoptive father 'Mr. Mountain Peak'.

I mean... Meg doesn't wholeheartedly consider his adoptive parents his own.

It's just... I'm being raised. They're letting me live, but I didn't think about it.

"This is the room you're renting... you can't get dirty"

Meg answers that seriously.

"And... because I thought someone would pick me up one day"

... Meg?

"... sooner or later, I... thought I'd go back to my mansion and be a whore. Ever since I was a kid, I've been...!

... No.

"So... I've been trying to get out of the house ever since I was a kid. I've been preparing for this for a long time. I packed my stuff in two bags so I could pick you up whenever I wanted, and I always put it on my pillow."

These two bags... I've been preparing them.

"This bag... is the one I brought to this house when I was brought from your mansion. It's my mom's bag......!

Meg's real mother...... Keiko's bag.

"You only brought two bags to this house... so I thought I should just take these two bags when I left"

Meg's...... two old bags.

Something reminded me of my cardboard box.

I've lived my personal belongings in just one box of cardboard...

Me and Meg... maybe they're similar.

"There's more bags with school stuff... you've got three."

Meg laughs bitterly.

"I'll take everything."

With Meg's thoughts… I carry them out of this house.

"Fine... just hold half"

Meg said that embarrassingly.

"I... want to make it half with Yoshi-kun"

Hard memories, pity...... I want to share with Meg too.

"... ok"

That's what I said.

"But good. Thanks to your name Ho... I think I can keep going to school."

... Huh?

"... I... I've been thinking. Only now can I live the same life as a normal child... while you're at the Mountain Peak house, so I have to try my best. So, I... good luck with my studies and sports. My adoptive parents were so happy when I did a good job...!

That's how... honorary students/mountain peak Emmi were made.

Ahead of my life, it was because I believed that I was only waiting for hell as a whore...... Meg.

"... Meg's not going to be a whore... she's going to be my wife"

I held Meg softly.

"Yeah...... good. Meet Yoshi-kun... I'm happy, me"

I kiss Meg.

Meg also kissed me back......

"That's weird... I never thought I'd kiss a boy in my room"

Meg laughed and said so.

"With that said, I... I've never been in a girl's room before in my life"

"Sorry...... nothing, in a murderous landscape room"

"That's not true... this room smells like Meg"

Yeah... the whole room is stained with the smell of Meg.

"Oh no... don't be embarrassed."

"It's true... here"

I lay in Meg's bed.

From the futon, I smell Meg......

I'm a big letter and I stick my face in Meg's futon.

"Smells good... looks like Meg is wrapping it up"

... Then.

Behind me, I heard a shrug of clothes......

When I look up... Meg is taking off her clothes...!

"... Meg?

Meg said.

"In this room... take a picture of me naked"

Meg's eyes were...... serious.

"Then I... at the end of the day in this room, Yoshi-kun wants to hold me...!

...... Meg?!

"... here, I want to have sex...!
