Pure Love ✕ Insult Complex

696. Pursuit of happiness

We are... crazy people.

From birth......

No, before I was born... from my parents' generation, it's not normal.

"I... I know I'm an 'unusual child'"

Quiet... Meg says.

"I am a 'whore' child... born unwanted, a 'child of violence'"

Meg... Shirasaka Chuangsuke is the daughter who raped Meg's mother to give birth.

"My mom... it was such a sad end. My life as an adopted daughter in the Mountain Peaks family has also been much narrower on my shoulders. Because you took me... my adoptive parents at Mountain Peak will be harassed by the Shirazaka family..."

In reality...... the Mountain Peaks, who were distant relatives of the Shirazaka family, were routinely harassed by the Shirazaka family.

The very order to "take Meg, the hidden son of Shirasaka Chuangsuke, as his adopted daughter"... is one of harassment in the first place.

Still... I think Meg's adoptive parents raised her gently.

"I've always... had to be a 'good boy' so my Mountain Peak parents wouldn't be bothered. No matter how poor the house is...... If I work hard in my studies and clubs, my class friends and school teachers will admit it. Then the parents of Mountain Peak will be delighted. Think so… I've always been desperate"

... Meg.

"So... just because I did worse than I did... that Snow prevented me from going to public or quitting my basketball club... hated me. I could never forgive you."

Meg...... the truth is, he was passing a smart forward public high school.

Snow was jealous of it... he refused to go to public school and enrolled in the same high school as himself.

And the club... In middle school, I had the same basketball...

Because Meg's middle school was stronger... made Meg quit the basketball club.

You know, I haven't been in the basketball club myself...

"That kid... he's got a bunch of 'normal happiness' that I don't have... because he's been tormenting me the whole time"

... right.

He was the same age... because he had a different mother's sister, Snow...

Meg, doubling people, longed for 'normal happiness'.

"So... I don't think it's pathetic that that kid has become such a jerk like he is now... Instead... I think it's different."

Meg says... yes, I say.

"... there are two things wrong with you."

Sister Minaho...... tells Meg.

"First of all... Yukino-san's house wasn't normal at all."

"What are you talking about, Mr. Ho?! My parents are right together... everyone lives in the same house... and every day was a 'normal happy family' that looked like fun!

Meg...... protests.

"Nothing... I didn't say that Shirasaka Chuanke's family is inferior to 'normal house'. Rather... the other way around."

... Sister Minaho?

"The man... is a full-time member of a leading advertising agency, a general manager... part of a prestigious family called the Shirazaka family, right? I have a home in Tokyo. That's not the land/building I inherited from my parents... the guy bought it himself. Well, other than the main business...... I guess you're diverting quite on your own from the proceeds of the 'Black Forest'."

Yes... Shirazaka Chuansuke was not a 'normal' man.

"Cars are luxury foreign cars. For every summer and winter vacation, travel abroad. You had a condo in Hawaii, didn't you? Your wife's home, too, rich. The wife herself was a culinary critic who used to look at the press..."

In the transcendent elite...... the upper class of birth.

"It's a big mistake to think of Yamato as" normal. "

"... but"

Meg is not convinced.

"Remember what I told this kid earlier?" For the calculation of raccoons without taking "... right. Sure, you and Snow may have had a chance to swap positions. I guess that's what you've been thinking since you were a legally recognized Shirazaka courtier and Snow was more of a 'hidden child'... after being taken over by the Mountain Peak family, even Snow could only be jerked off by you. If you and Yukino were in the opposite position...!

Sister Minaho laughs.

"... but there was no such reality. Mr. Snow is" The Son of My Real Wife, "and you are" The Hidden Son. "That reality will never be covered...!

"But you regret it! Snow always laughs... and I just bear with it. This is weird!

"Yeah, that's weird. So, you... broke the curses of Shirazaka Chuansuke and the Shirazaka family, and you're free, right? 'Cause you don't want to go back to the Mountain Peaks...' cause you don't like touching the edge with the Shirazaka family, do you?!

"Yes... I am...!

"Then no more...... stop comparing yourself to Mr. Snow!!!

Sister Minaho said...... Kippari.

"Happiness is for each person. Each person must have a different happiness. There is no such thing as" normal happiness "as you assume. You should seek happiness in your reality."

"But... but...!

Meg...... not convinced.

... I am.

"Old Meg... Yukino looked happy, didn't he? So I couldn't forgive you."

"... yes"

Meg turns to me.

"But... Was Shirasaka Chuangsuke's house that happy?

"... you seemed happy. I... have been watching."

At the White Slope clan gathering...... Meg watched the snowmen dressed in sunshine and looking to have fun from the last seat......

I... look like a school uniform and I can't wear sunny clothes.

Yukino, a favorite of the Shirazaka family's former lord, forbade Meg to wear sunshine.

"But we... we know Mana, don't we?

"... Mana?

Mana is... the daughter of the Shirazaka family, the sister of Yukino.

"Mana, who had been weak since childhood, had been kept at the home of relatives in Shizuoka. But no one... neither my parents nor Yukino ever came to visit Mana."

"... it"

"Shirazaka Chuangsuke was doing whatever he wanted outside... and even Snowmen's mother was having an affair with the manager. I didn't look at home at all."

"Still... I just have a house... living with my parents should have been happier than me..."

... Meg.

"... it's not. Even if I have a home to live in... I live with my parents... sometimes I'm not happy."

"... Yoshi-kun?

"I... can prove it."

I had... a house.

I... lived with my parents.

But that house... it was always dark, alone.

"Emmi...... I'm not telling you not to hate Shirasaka Chuanke. Me too... I hate you. I won't forgive you for dying, only that man. It's okay to remain obsessed with Yukino in the past..."

Sister Minaho says...

"But... you have a future. When you think about what lies ahead... forget the grudges of the past. If we don't... we won't be able to move forward."

"… the future"

"I... learned that from good faith. He said we must stay trapped in the past... and if we want to make the people we love happy, we must have the courage to move forward."

That... me?

"No, I... I don't remember saying that, do I?

"You don't have to... it does"

Sister Minaho smiles cuckoo.

"When I got my revenge on Shirazaka Chuansuke, I was going to die just like that... because you gave me life... 'family'"

... 'Family'.

"Before you came... our" Black Forest "was just a bunch of" buddies "to avenge Shirazaka Chuansuke. You... made us a family."

"No, we're not... we're all... we're family."

We're all... we're losing a real blood connected family...

Because he wanted 'family'... because he needed it.

Because we all had those thoughts in our hearts... we got together and became a 'family'...

"Huimi... you know what I mean. The size of the role this child played for us as a family."

Meg...... doesn't answer.

"Fair enough. Anyway... because there is no such thing as' normal happiness' that you had in mind. If you think you're happy... you're happy in any environment."

Sister Minaho says...

"Humans... I will still seek happiness even when I become the Great Emperor who rules the whole world. Conversely... the death penalty is going to be executed now, I can hang a rope of hanging on my neck... even in those moments, I still want to be happy." The Pursuit of Happiness "will never end as long as humans continue to live as human beings. We can't stop being happy..."

... but?

"You deserve your life...... pursue happiness. For example, it would be wrong of me... to fall in love with a man now, to marry him, to have the child of that man... to build a very normal happy family... to seek that kind of 'happiness'? No matter how much you want it... it's a dream that never comes true."

... it is.

"My body... can't have children anymore. That's an irremediable reality. Though to avenge Shirazaka Chuangsuke... I've corrupted a lot of women into 'whores' too. I... can't be allowed to go back to normal life. I'll be left with one leg in 'Back Society' forever until I die... if I try to lose my leg, I'll be killed. That too...... my reality"

Sister Minaho, through her 'whorehouse' job... knows the 'back face' of those in the financial world.

Now...... Sister Minaho can live because there is a back shield named Ji.

Ji doesn't have to be crushed because she has both a strong influence over the political and financial world and… a private militia group called Kazuki Security Services.

That's... that's reality.

"So I... I just have to look for happiness to the extent that it suits my reality. You'll never get unrealistic happiness... and I can't be killed right now. If I die... there will be trouble for you."

"Your name Ho...... why?

Surprise...... Meg.

"'Cause you guys haven't... as representatives of The Black Forest, you can't cross over with the scared, can you? So not yet... I won't die."

I'm only... sixteen. Even my sister Keko... is 21 years old.

No, even my Minaho sister... although she's only 28...

Sister Minaho has a proven track record of running a 'whorehouse' for over ten years.

Even in "Back Society" and the heavy towns of the political and financial world... because they know their faces...

"But I'm happy. I... have you."

With gentle eyes... he looks at us.

"And... sorry"

... Huh?

"You too... are tied to the 'reality' that I am captured. As long as you live in this mansion... no, if you leave this mansion, you will no longer escape your fate."

... right.

"We are also members of the criminal organization Black Forest."

If I... left this mansion, and now I live in Yoshida's house...

Soon they will be abducted by the 'back society' guys.

As a hostage against Sister Minaho......

Or...... to get information on 'Black Forest'.

I will be tortured. They could kill you.

"Emmi... how much you want 'normal happiness' with good faith... I can tell. Because I used to dream about it, too. Still, when I was a whore..."

...... Sister Minaho.

"If I can get out of here... if I get out of this mansion, I'm sure I'll be happy. Hide the past that was a 'whore'... in some distant town, he said he'd be happy... I hoped. I was hoping. In my case... though I had no choice but to throw away such 'sweet dreams that could not happen' with the inability to have children and the murder of my sister Natsumi"

Sister Minaho...... looks at the monitor.

"Ya... what about the grams? I could wash my feet from" whore "... there was an environment where I lived hiding the past... and I couldn't move on because I was crushed by my past memories."

… after leaving the 'whorehouse' and the management of the florist is on track….

I hear you made out with a bunch of men.

But I'm hesitant to live hiding the past that was a 'whore'...

None of the men... could advance the relationship.

"Keiko was... scared to go outside and couldn't get out of this mansion. They were both able to finally move on thanks to you."

...... Sister Minaho.

"Today's... I watched the footage of Keko selling the bread I made and I wept. Because that kid finally... has the courage to stand in public"

... Huh?

"Sell the bread you made... sell it yourself... from the students to the taste of the bread. Until now, I couldn't, that girl. Because I was afraid that what I made would be appreciated by others"

Sister Keiko was just following me... not standing in the store and trying not to show up in front of the students...

"Keiko... twice as many people, because he's a fearful kid. That's why I always act like a bright, powerful daughter. I'm with Ning. Instead, Ning... you started to imitate that kind of thing."

... Keko sister.

"I think we're good now. And you and Keko's bakery... I think it's going to work. Just..."

Sister Minaho looks at me.

"You and Keko's bakery... are not ordinary bakeries. There's a connection to the criminal organization Black Forest, and the public security police are always inside the house... the guards of the Kazuki Security Service are consolidating their guards at all times... that's the kind of bakery."

We... can't escape the 'reality' of today.

"That's what I'm talking about... Hye Mi. You, too, yes. You'll never get the 'normal happiness of a normal life' you want. Even Mr. Nikita is coming. We can't break our friendship with Miss Cordelia. Even the missouri, yes. The line with the Kazuki family is our lifeline. Rather than......"

Sister Minaho exhales.

"Misuzu, who was born in the Kazuki family, and Rukiko... Misuzu and Michi, who lived as escorts... understand the" pursuit of happiness "that is more realistic than Mi. They say they don't want to ignore reality... because they're thorough."

... right.

Even about the Eagle Barn sisters... Meg looked unhappy until the end...

The mistletoes accepted sarcastically.

... I know.

If Ji asked for it... we'll have to accept it...

If you want to accept it anyway, feel good... and be positive.

of the response to reality… is stood still.

"Neither does Mr. Mana. And that kid... if they kick him out of here, 'cause there's nowhere to go... I'm ready. It's really just you... the only thing that's dodgy about being out of sight of reality"

Meg is......

"Your name Ho...... what am I supposed to do?

"... think for yourself. All this because I can't give you an answer."

Sister Minaho...... cold, says so.

"It's just... if you seem to be guttering any more... the camouflage opponents at Sunshine's school will be Kana-san Hoshisaki, not Kemi"

... Huh?

"In order to keep the good faith isolated from the other students... the camouflage is valid now. Being engaged to Emmi and living together in a school approved... and just one bakery course."

Isolate me?

"If you had a student that was too close to good faith... that student would be in danger, right? So you have to be a little floating on campus. You know... everyone in school knows that."

That's what Sister Minaho said.

"It feels like today... I thought Kana might be better suited than Emmi. She's not stupid... and if it's beneficial, she won't betray us... and she has the wisdom not to try to get dangerous information out of herself. Most importantly, because she's beautiful. It's just right for someone who has sex on campus."

"If you're dealing with sex at school... I will!

Meg... says so.

"Keimi... Makoto seems spicy. You always ask for good faith just for your own desires, don't you? You don't think I'm gonna make you feel better about good faith, do you?

"Well, that's not... nothing"

"I guess... watch it later compared"

Sister Minaho...... tells Meg.

"Recent sex of my own and...... sex with Kana of good faith today. Yoshin, I enjoyed it more when you were Kana."

"... that's not true"

"Fine, watch it. That's why I called you to this room."

Here... there are a lot of monitor screens.

Sex with Kanasen pie today too...... you will be able to play and watch it.

"Enough with good faith. Go back to the cafeteria. So... today, go to sleep already. We should do everything tomorrow."

"But... Sister Minaho"

I was... leaving Meg behind.

"I think you'd be more shocked if you stayed."

... Really?

... No.

Indeed, having sex with Meg these days... was a strong sense of duty.

Somehow, in response to Meg... he wants to make you feel better...

Compared to that......

Sex with Kanasenpai today...... I think it was fun.

No, it's not just Kanasenpai... and Anya.

Both of them, they have a crisp personality...

But my heart is sweet... because you accepted me.

"You need someone like that right now. So... I've got it."

...... Sister Minaho.

"As it is now... for you, sex was going to be a burden on duty... Everyone but Emmi is worried. If you go to the dining room, you'll see..."

Guys... are you worried about me?

"Come on, go, good faith. I'll take care of Emmi."

... but.

"Kazuki and I are supposed to meet tomorrow at 2: 00 pm. So, Mr. Hawkkura's adjustments will not be made in time until tomorrow morning. I just lost my virgin, so you'll be tired already tonight, and you should rest."

I think so, too.

But... tomorrow at 2pm?

By then... will the stabilisation of 'The Power of Witches' be in time...

"Yeah. When you remembered what you were supposed to do, you went right back to the 'man' face. All right, all right."

Sister Minaho says that.

"... So what should we do next?

"... I'll talk to everyone about tomorrow's schedule before I go to bed"

How to guide the three sisters... Mizuzu and I should talk to them.

Then, where might the Hawkkura sisters sleep......

I wonder if we should all go to bed so we don't get lonely.

"I've got my thoughts together... then go"

I'll take a seat.

Huh... I remember.

"Oh, wait... Earlier, Sister Minaho said Meg was two wrong..."

... Speaking of which.

"There's only one thing I feel like I haven't told you the wrong thing."

... What about Sister Minaho?

"Oh, the other one... is about Yukino-san"

... Snow.

"Earlier, Huimi... I was terribly appreciative of Mr. Yukino for his" miserable life now "..."

Sure... that's what he said.

"Mr. Snow now... I don't have a life of sorts."

... to?

"No matter how misogynistic Hye Mi thinks Yukino-san is... Yukino-san is flat, isn't she? I don't care how embarrassing you are, how embarrassed you get me pregnant, or how you make me look like an entertainer on TV... she's happily doing it for me."

... Snow.

"Whatever the situation, it's fun to do it... it sounds like Yukino's talent"

Behind Sister Minaho who says so sayingly......

Meg... be quiet. I was drooling.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Oh, welcome home... you're only too late"

When I entered the dining room... I quickly met the snow.

Yukino was still talking to Miko alone.

"Now, what are you talking about?

I asked.

"That's what we were talking about earlier, wasn't it? And now... the Boring women's professional organization is breaking up!

Snow Na says... pointing to the screen on his phone.

"They both broke up from the original governing group by saying, 'Only women split up'... after all, can't it just be women?

"... I don't know, I don't"

Miko is laughing at Couscous.

"Brother, over here!

From the table in the back of the room, Mana calls.

Seeing, the other members, they were all gathered that way.

"Something... it's an emergency meeting. We're the only hubs. I miss you, Miko!

"Well... there's no choice."

"But instead... I forgive you for the grass cake you gave me. Look, Dancing Summer's calling, so go with me."

"... ah, oh"

When I try to go...

"Me... after all, it feels like I'm staying here tonight?

"Maybe... because Kansai Yakuza is still raging"

I answered.

Escort Snow... There are no Kazuki Security Service people here.

Guys, they're paying for it.

"Ah, that. Well, fine. Ah... I don't like the same room as Emmi. Me!"

"... that's what they think. I'll get you a proper room."

That's what I said... I'm going to everyone's table.

Ning, Misuzu, Rukiko, Michi, Edie, Mana, Anise, Tsukiko, Mitsuko, Luna......

They were all there.

"Yes...... Tea"

Even Sister Keko...... comes.

"First of all, my lord... we have just talked to you..."

Tsukiko tells me.

"Everything's going well... even if we're free to use the power of the witch, I'm going to hide our power as much as I can."

...... oh.

The Tsukikos also...... have you reached the same opinion as Sister Minaho?

"Yeah, that's what Sister Minaho said. 'Power', he said, should not be published."

When the existence of 'power' becomes public... the bad guys will just target you.

"Around there... I'll even negotiate with Ji tomorrow. Mizuzu and I need you to explain this together. Please."

I'm not the only one... because I might not be able to speak well.

"... Yes, sir."

Well, that too......

Really, I'm talking about "The Power of Witches" if I can stabilize it...

"So... of course, I'm only going to use 'force' when I get the public's permission..."

"Other than that... I'd like you to make an exception."

Night Michiko...... says.

"... what 'exception'?

"One is... the Lord and I want to keep our hearts connected. Um... because I'm anxious."

Oh...... right.

You know, a meeting with Ji... you want to know what I'm thinking.

You'll be able to follow up with me as soon as I fail to talk.

"That's fine. Anyway, it's all good to be seen in my head."

I promise.

Horrible...... Tsukiko.

"It's the second time... if we feel a danger to our safety, please allow us to use 'force'."

"In that case, of course... don't worry about my permission."

Yakuza's still after the sisters.

When things suck......

Whether it's "The Power of Tsuki" reading your mind or "The Power of Yomi" letting your opponent follow you, use it freely.

Because the safety of life is the best.

"The third... is about relationships such as schools"

... Relationships.

"Um... brother, I'm sure Anise and I are going to school together."

Luna says...

"That's... I hope so. Anise, maybe I can't go to school alone."

Because we're twelve years old each other.

I want Luna to...... help Anise.

"If that's the case... Mr. Aniez... no, I've never been to a school in Tokyo before... and I'm terrified of figs."

... right.

That sort of thing... I guess I'll have to think about it.

Anise is a blue-eyed white guy with a complete blonde appearance...

But maybe... by the time you get into school, you won't be able to get the perfect general sense.

"Yeah, right. I'll leave that to Luna."

I... can't go to Luna's school classroom.

"... me too, okay?

Night Michiko...?

"Doctor, I think I'm going to the same high school as Mana."

Yes... because we're both fourteen.

"I can solve the problem my teacher is having with Mana."

... Huh?

"If you're in school... you just have to make me assume that Mana is the kid who transferred from Kyoto with me, right?

... right.

Mana... is afraid to meet someone who knows her past self.

As Shirazaka Dance Summer...... to be recognized.

"What if Mana decided to be our sister, too?

... Night Michiko?

"If it means Luna's sister...... to Mana, Luna. Look, it's not weird."

Ugh... yeah.

... Yep.

"Mana... what do you think?

"If you're with Michiko... I'm not scared"

... right. Then.

"Yomi... please. You two, talk to me carefully."

"Yes, I did."

The presence of Night Michiko's "Power" is the collateral... if Mana will give me the courage to attend a new school.

"Then... one last thing..."

Tsukiko said...

"We want to be of service to the Lord."

My... helpful?

"Um... with our 'power'... the Lord can have it for anyone."

... Huh?

"I can read my mind... because I can make it obey. for any opponent."

Hey, what...?!

That's...

When I think about "Wow, she's a good woman... I want to have sex with a girl like this" or something...

"Yes, if there is a woman you like… we will deliver it to you immediately…"

Read my mind... Tsukiko answered.

"Hey, until that happens, don't read my mind!

"No... I promised you I wouldn't mind reading the Lord's mind the whole time."

Ah......

"We... from now on, we are always connected to the Lord's heart...!

All the women I... wanted to have sex with...

"Yes...... it is!
