Pure Love ✕ Insult Complex

Observe Anna's diet.

Anniez and Arisu and Luna... are actively smiling and talking to Anna and caring for her well.

Yomi the same age, step back... he's making me big...

I think this is a collaboration between the Eagle Barn Sisters.

"Senior Anna... Anise and the others are about to take our school integration exam..."

Poor thing...... it provides' topic 'that way.

"So... please tell us a lot about the school to Aniez"

"I want to know! What's school like?

Anise asks with a smile.

"Yeah... that's..."

"Anise is new to Japanese schools."

"I think there are lots of cots that I don't know."

Rie and Eli... said so.

The truth is Anise is... although this is the first time the school itself...

Because she looks blonde and blue-eyed Anise...... Anna would mistake me for being a 'returning child'.

"Oh, yeah. If that's the case... well... what's so special about Japanese schools..."

Bewildered, I begin to tell Anise and the others...... Anna.

Basically, he must be a good looking after kid.

"Rukiko... Sister Peach said first of all about Anna that she was a 'middle star'..."

I speak to Rukiko in a low voice.

"You're right. Bright, energetic, brainy, sports versatile… Now, he's so adorable, he's adored by his superiors and admired by his juniors."

Rukiko, a junior in middle school... you must know Anna well about her in the next grade.

"For that matter... Anna has been too exquisite since she came to this' Mansion '"

I'm overexcited, or vice versa depressed... manic-depressive.

"I knew... I think there's a bigger problem besides what Erica's been talking about..."

There must be a heavier reason I drove her to 'run away'......

"Rukiko probably... you know everything, don't you?

I asked... straight.

So...... I invited Anna Erica here today.

"Yes, of course."

Rukiko smiles.

"But... I can't talk to you here. Erica looks at us sometimes."

Oh, Rukiko won't tell me... I'm curious.

"Besides... I think it was about the time Sister Shang completed the investigation."

Rukiko... I've been instructing Sister Sho to do something for a long time...

"The investigators of" Fragrance Moon Security Services "are all excellent..."

... right.

Sister Shang is dining in a separate room with the Sisters of Peaches right now.

You were telling me to show my face later...... I guess you have something to report.

I look at the "Young Group" table again.

"I'm looking forward to that!

"Yeah, when I come to school... I'll show you around. Wow!

Yeah...... I'll be fine leaving you to the 'youth group' like this about Anna.

"Hey, I'm gonna go to the other room."

"Yes, brother"

I was going to sneak up on my seat...

"Uh, Dad...... where are you going?!

Mako tells me out loud.

"Oh, I'm gonna see what's going on with the 'customer' in the other room."

I said that naturally.

"Erica is fine, because Anise and the others are dealing with you! I will never make you miss me, so don't worry!

Anna is surprised by Anise, who tells me so.

"It's the rules of the house here......" If there's a lonely child, Akan ""

"Everybody's friends are the Iron Code."

The twins nod... and say so.

"Guys, I know Senior Anna will also be a 'family' in this house..."

Poor thing, that's what I said.

"Yeah, I am. We know."

Arisu, say that to Anna.

"The people in that room are 'customers'... Erica, they're not!

Mako smiles nicotineously.

"That's right! Erica, too, soon...... by the end of the evening, you'll be Mao and Anise's 'sister'!

"Wow, True O, I'm glad!

Anna listens to such a conversation with a puzzled expression.

"Guys, I welcome you wholeheartedly...... Erica. You know what I mean, right?

Rukiko, a senior, said so gently.

"Yes..."

Anna answered with a small voice…

"Please don't be so scared. We just want to get along with Erica."

Read Anna's "Heart"...... Luna says.

"That's right! Anise wants to get along with Erica!

Anise couldn't push and told him so.

◇ ◇ ◇

I leave the dining room alone... and head to the private room where the Peach Sisters are.

Knock the door con...

"Yes?"

Sister Peach has a voice.

"Ah... it's me"

"Go ahead... I've been waiting for you"

Once inside......

Sister Sho, Sebastianus (Umeko Yamada), Sister Sho, Misuzu, Michi... surrounded the table and were eating.

Mana stands... thoroughly with the waiter.

"Mana, enough here... go to the dining room and have dinner with everyone"

When I say that...

"But instead, there's tea after meals..."

"That's about it, we'll do it... thank you Mana"

Misuzu tells Mana.

Though the Kazuki family has something to do with being famous... treating Mana like a servant is something you really shouldn't do.

"Yeah, thanks...... that's enough"

Sister Peach, a 'guest', smiles at Mana.

"Yes, then... excuse me"

Mana bowed her head politely... and left the room.

"... you're such a beautiful girl. Although the person named Ning is also a beauty with different digits."

Sister Peach tells me.

"The 'girls' in Grandpa's house are all pretty girls... but those two are different, aren't they?"

Mana's "Becoming Beautiful Program" is going well.

In the last six months...... my back is growing.

Apparently, it was a good idea to start in the middle of the growing de that I was fourteen.

"Even a kid named Mana now...... is he your 'slave'?

Sister Peach asks me.

"Oh, Mana's number one in my Slave."

Snow and Meg are not... 'slaves'.

"Yes... So Anna Erica will be the 'latest issue'"

Niyah...... smile.

"Seung-san... that you didn't call Riko here, you have information you don't want to know about Anna other than 'The Members Who Are Here Now'?

Sister Peach tells Sister Sho.

"I mean... there's only a 'secret' between me and the public that I can't let you know...!

Although Michi and Sebastianus (Umeko Yamada) are also present in this private room...

The lady of the famous family and the Songxia family...... does not include 'guards' in the number of people.

Because I know that professional 'guards' will never say anything else about what I learned during my duties.

Both Michi and Yamada...... are muscled "guards" serving the Kazuki and Songji families who are said to be famous houses of all fame.

"Yes... that's what I'm talking about"

Sister Xiang said so lightly.

"Michi... give your husband some tea"

"Yes."

Instead of Mana leaving the room, Michi makes me tea.

"Sister Shang, what are you talking about? Rukiko is the only one who seems to know everything."

I... ask.

"Well... it's a little complicated."

Sister Shang starts talking.

"First of all... Sometimes Anna is mistaken. Although Anna's father, as an example, is trying to take up the inheritance Anna received from Anna's deceased grandfather..."

Oh... for some reason, Anna's grandfather made her granddaughter his own adopted daughter...

He said he left a will with Anna's father, his son... to split his estate in half.

"An audit firm that Anna's father now represents... is supposed to merge with another audit firm... and that's true..."

Xiang Sister...... says.

"Something... Anna's grandfather didn't want to give her estate to her son until she made her granddaughter an 'adopted daughter', which means she wasn't trusted by her parents, which affects her father's work?

I think that was the story.

'Can I leave it to someone whose parents didn't trust me... to audit a large company or something?'...

It's a matter of trust...

"That's right. I'm pretty sure there's a problem with that... but it's like it's not where Keichiro Anna cares."

... Huh?

"To Keiichiro Anna... we have to solve this in a hurry, something terrible is going on."

... What's that?

We listen to Sister Xiang in the face...

"The so-called audit firm refers to a company with more than five CPAs. So, of course, Anna's father, the representative... naturally, he's a CPA. So did your late grandfather. So... CPAs have special rules."

... Decided?

"In Japan today... CPAs are allowed to own shares in companies of all kinds... but you shouldn't own shares in companies that you are directly involved in auditing."

There's a stock you shouldn't have... Do you have one?

"I think I'm a shareholder in the company there... and I don't get audit results against the company, do I? Because the value of the stock is going down."

Oh, well.

"So... even a privately managed CPA is severely restricted in that sort of thing... it gets even tougher when this is a CPA affiliated with an audit firm"

...... yeah.

"If you belong to an audit firm… not only are you directly responsible for the stock of the company… you are not allowed to own the stock of all the companies in charge of your colleagues who work for the same audit firm. That's what makes the branches different... if you don't work in the same place, if you've hardly ever seen your face, if you're a colleague like you've never had a conversation... if you belong to the same audit firm, you can't have all the shares in the company you're auditing for."

"Oh, sneaking around inside the corporation... because you might hear information like 'That company is performing better' or 'Because a secret project will be up, and then the value of the stock will go up'"

missouri...... say.

"I mean... it can also be a hotbed for insider trading...!

That's what Sister Peaches said.

"That's what I mean"

Sister Xiang, keep going.

"Because Anna's grandfather, who is already dead, was also a CPA... all the shares he owned belonged to a company that had nothing to do with his audit firm. Anna Erica is taking over as a legacy. The status quo is that your attorney manages them…"

Until Anna grows up, use her lawyer as her 'guardian'... and have her estate deposited.

That was Anna's grandfather's will.

"Plus, sure... it was all, like, an excellent stock, right? In the last ten years since your grandfather died, are all stocks getting very high?

"That's right. As Anna said to herself... her personal assets now exceed 300 million yen."

At fourteen...... haha.

"But until now, there has been nothing wrong with that... really, because the company of the stock in Anna Erica's name did not overlap with the company for which Mr. Anna Keiichiro's audit firm is responsible..."

Sister Shang looks at me.

"But... next time, your father's audit firm merges with another corporation, right?

At that moment, Sister Peach...

"Oh I see...... that's what you're talking about!

Yeah yeah...... nod.

"Yes… Next time, the merging audit firm is in charge of auditing the company that Anna owns"

Sister Xiang... smiles bitterly.

"If we merge, it's the same corporation, right? And if that happens, even in the name of my daughter... it's going to be a problem to own shares in the company that's in charge of my corporation."

Oh well... would it violate the rules of a CPA?

"So, Anna's father... only shares in the company that Anna owns that will be audited by the merging corporation... are about 70 million yen... and that's all you need to sell as soon as possible."

Xiang Sister...... says.

"I see, Anna is only a fourteen-year-old minor... besides, usually the assets left behind by a minor should be freely managed by the parent who is the custodian... by the time the merger between the corporations is completed, it should be customary to sell all the suspected shares, right?

Sister Peach says.

"Yes, I can't believe it's in the name of my 14-year-old daughter... because I can't help but suspect she's doing so to escape the rules. Really... Anna Erica's shares are all excellent."

"If you keep holding stocks like this... Anna's father could be banished from the world of CPAs."

"It is. However, in Anna's case... the deceased grandfather has instructed her attorney to manage her assets as a 'minor guardian' in a will..."

"... Anna needs to release her attorney's 'guardian'... can't your father dispose of the stock in question?

"Yes."

Sister Shang nods.

"That, after all... requires Anna's own consent, doesn't it?

I... asked.

"Of course... Anna's legacy from her grandfather is Anna's personal property"

Sister Peach answers me.

"But... as for Anna's father, Keiichiro Anna... this is a serious problem that needs to be solved as soon as possible. It's far more serious than your own 'credit issue'. Because... it annoys hundreds of CPAs who belong to two audit firms."

Sister Xiang...... says so.

"Right. All the other accountants... will let go of all the shares in the company that the merging corporation is responsible for by the set deadline."

"If only Keiichiro Anna, a representative of one audit firm, were to 'fail to sell shares by the deadline', the merger itself would stop..."

"It's going to be a 'credit issue' for the new corporation itself!

Sister Peach and Misuzu... say it orally.

"Yes... perhaps, as for Keiichiro Anna... I don't think your daughter Anna is thinking of acquiring a round take, keeping all the inheritance she received from her grandfather. Just..."

Sister Xiang...... says so.

"... anyway, once you de-administrate the 'underage guardian' lawyer... you mean Anna's father himself has to be free to dispose of Anna's 'assets'?

I ask.

"Exactly. As it is now... in your grandfather's will, the 'guardian' attorney just keeps his estate until Anna grows up... and nothing else is to be done."

Your father asked his attorney... to sell the stock on his own without Anna's permission.

"We can't keep the stock in question in Anna's assets... we're in trouble. Because there's really an imminent merger of corporations."

It's a matter of stuffing my feathers...

But that's...

"So... what makes you think Anna can wind up all her 'legacy' to your father...?

"Maybe... I think it's his mistake."

That's what Sister Peaches said.

I think so, too.

Even on the phone earlier......

Mr. Keiichiro Anna... was a seemingly stubborn Osama...

Still, it didn't seem like there was any malice towards my daughter.

"But... Anna is very afraid of your father."

Misuzu...... whine.

"Right. When my father is trying to take away his assets, he seems to have a strong assumption... that's why I've even been 'running away'"

...... but.

"Nonetheless... I became my 'slave' and he also said that all the 300 million yen 'assets' would be mine. I mean, the 'asset' itself... Anna's not that interested..."

...... hmm.

"I think there's a secret we don't know yet..."

"That's right... I just finished my last 'investigation'. Before it's time for this meal..."

That's what Sister Xiang said... I laugh bitterly.

"In the end... I had to find out what happened fifteen years ago, so it took a lot of work. I did my own investigation..."

... fifteen years ago?

Anna Erica is... fourteen years old.

"This... is a problem from the point where Anna Erica was born..."

... and.

Sister Xiang...... begins to talk pale about the origin of this problem......

◇ ◇ ◇

"Oh, I see... that's what you mean"

Listen to Sister Sho's "Report"...... Sister Peach is convinced.

And exhale hugely with ha......

"That's true... it's only natural that you can't trust your father."

"Right...... I didn't even imagine that 'fact' was hidden"

Misuzu, I'm surprised.

"Anna was feeling 'self-inflicted' because of her high feelings... that's why"

I was also... completely surprised by Sister Shang's report.

Well, don't even 'run away'......

I also volunteer for 'sex slave'......

Being a jerk can't help it either.

"And why Rukiko won't tell me more... now I know"

Too 'Shocking Facts'...... In front of Anna, I can't talk to her.

Because Anna's mental state will heat up even more.

"That's why Rukiko... stayed in the dining room."

What Kazuki Security Services is doing is… imagining…

At least, Rukiko herself... has not exposed Anna's 'secrets' to anyone.

"Yes, if Rukiko hides and tells us... she won't trust Rukiko."

Says Sister Peach.

So Rukiko has always been... at Anna's side. In a position visible from her.

"Oh, wait a minute...... you know, Kansa. Anna's father...... How far does Keiichiro Anna know about this' fact '?

Sister Peach asks......

"That's... Anna Erica, presumably... learned the 'facts' from a diary in her grandfather's legacy 'Secret Library'"

In that 'library'...... only Anna can get in. Your father shouldn't even know that such a secret room is hidden in the 'away' used by his deceased predecessor.

"So... Keiichiro Anna, I don't think you know"

Even on the phone earlier...... your father felt seriously worried about Anna.

"Well, it's not too hard. If you find out the 'facts'... your father will repeat them too!

I think Sister Peach is right.

The current Anna family itself could collapse.

"That's a more delicate issue than I imagined... sir"

Even Misuzu was confused.

"Of a girl named Anna Erica... it's about identity."

Sister Shang... yes, I put it together.

"So... what are you going to do, Prince?

Sister Peach asks me...

"I'll use 'The Witch'. For a meeting with Anna's father... ask Tsukiko to come. I've already made up my mind."

I...

"It's a matter of hurry... if it's going to be a major surgery, I'll use all the people I can use."

"Well... maybe that's all we have."

Sister Peach agreed with me.

"I don't think there's anything I can do without manipulating my 'heart'......... hmm?

Sister Peach sees Sister Sho.

"By the way... Seung-san?

"... Yes?

"Where have you... been investigating and searching for the 'truth'?

... Huh?

"I only read Anna's diary of her deceased grandfather... fifteen years ago... and what Anna's father doesn't even know, how?

With that said......

"Yeah...... so I hit on someone who knew Anna's grandfather in her lifetime"

Sister Shang says... smile.

"Specifically... it's your name Ho Kuromori."

... Sister Minaho?

... right.

Sister Minaho came here, kidnapped by The Black Forest... sixteen years ago.

Fifteen years ago, I was already in The World Behind...!

"It was inevitable that Anna Erica visited this Mansion."

Is that...?!
