56. Yamamine gumi
「Eh, what’s wrong?! Please sing, gumi-chan!」
Nei-san asks Yamamine-san who refused to hold the microphone.
「I’m bad at it」
「You don’t need to mind it!」
「But...Everyone’s good at it」
「Geez!...Maru-chan should’ve been here!」
「Eh...Margo-san, could it be?」
「That’s right, Yo-chan...Maru-chan’s such a hardcore rock girl, but she’s really bad at singing!」
Oh, though she had a guitar during the disguise, it seems that she really likes it.
Un, she surely seem to match rock.
「She’s good at instrunts though!」
「Electric guitar?」
When I asked.
「No no, Clarinet!」
「...Clarinet? Could that be the 『The claarineet I got from papa...』sothing like that?」
「That’s right, that clarinet!」
However...I don’t know what kind of instrunt was that.
「She said she took lessons when she was in the institute in the Arica, they have such an educational program there」
「Oh, I see.」
「The teacher in charge pushes musical instrunts just because he sees them as kids...『Hey you!1 You learn this today! You’re a big one so learn this! The small one there learn this piccolo!』she said」
「...Hee」
「That’s why, Maru-chan’s good with clarinet but...she can’t adjust her voice when singing! Whatever she sings will always co out as a death tal!」
Uuun. Margo-san’s voice is low though...
「In case of clarinet, does she perform classical music? Like Mozart?」
Misuzu asks Nei-san
「No, Maru-chan’s the type who’d like Jazz. Look, there’re are jazz artists that are good in clarinet aren’t there?」
「...Benny Goodman?」
Yamamine-san unexpectedly joined the conversation...
「Right, Maru-chan likes his performance!」
「Benny Goodman is amazing isn’t he...?」
「Oh, gumi-chan’s inford! Do you like Jazz?」
「...My late mother’s doing a vocals on Jazz.」
Yamamine-san’s...mother has passed away...
「Oh right! too, I don’t have my parents anymore!」
「...Eh??」
「...Ehehe, they were both shot by a burglar when we were in US」
Nei-san...is that so...?
「When I was six... and my bother were watching it...!」
「...Is that so?」
Yamamine-san’s face turned gloomy.
「My mother committed suicide. When I was 12」
「Is that so? gumi-chan had a hard ti...!」
Nei-san embraces Yamamine-san’s shoulder quietly.
「I’m fine. My adoptive parents are taking good care of ...」
Misuzu opened the karaoke list and spoke to Yamamine-san.
「Uhm...gumi-san. Do you sing Cole Porter’s 『Night and Day』2?」
「...Yes, I know it」
「Please sing along with Misuzu!」
「...Eh?」
「...Misuzu loves 『Night and day』」
「...I also do」
「Then, lets sing it together!」
「Ah, too!」
Nei-san too...!
「...Err, it’s in the karaoke isn’t it!
「Yes. If I recall, it’s in the Jazz page!」
Nei-san and Misuzu registers the music...!
「Yo-chan, want to sing too?」
「No...I don’t know that song」
「Then, Yo-chan should listen to the three beauties singing!」
「...O-Okay」
「Hey hey, gumi-chan, stand up!」
「...But」
「We’re all singing together」
The jazz performance plays gently.
Then...the three sings.
Among the two microphones, Nei-san monopolizes one of them.
The other one has Misuzu and Yamamine-san drawing their lips close to each other...!
The English song unknown to ...!
Is a sorrowful and gentle...jazz lody...
Nei-san and Misuzu are smiling at Yamamine-san.
Yamamine-san...returned a smile...
Slowly...the wall in her heart lts.
The three of them sings happily...
Before long...the song ends.
I clapped my hands for the three of them.
The girls looked at each other and smiled once again...!
「Yamamine-san...aren’t you good at it?!」
「Un, it was a really beautiful voice!」
Nei-san and Misuzu praises Yamamine-san’s singing voice...
「No...I’m bad at singing...」
「That’s not true! Look, everyone give gumi-chan an applause!」
We clapped our hands for Yamamine-san.
...That’s when.
Another sound of applause cos from the outside of the room...!
「Everyone’s good at singing. I’m jealous」
A tall woman in black clothing enters from the door...!
...Yamamine-san’s surprised!
「...Yuzuki-sensei!」
The teacher laughs.
「...Sensei, why are you here?」
「This is my house...」
Nei-san spoke to the stiffened Yamamine-san.
「Didn’t I tell you? We’ll be going to my friend’s house...!」
「...But」
「I’m sensei’s friend!」
Misuzu stepped forward and bowed to Sensei.
「Nice to et you...I’m Kouzuki Misuzu!」
「...Is your grandfather well?」
「Yes I was told to 『Send my regards to Kuromori-sama』...!」
...Eh?!
Misuzu’s grandfather knows Sensei?
Not just that but also 『Kuromori』...?!
「Tell him『I’m very sorry for the long silence』...!」
「Yes, I understand...!」
Sensei once again looked at Yamamine-san
「Yuzuki is my mother’s family na...That’s what I use at school, my true na is Kuromori...Kuromori Minaho...!3」
「...Kuromori?!」
「Yes...I’m the current head of Kuromori house. Welco Misuzu-san. Also...Welco back, gumi...!」
gumi-san’s long and narrow eyes gradually opened wide!
「...We’re finally able to et」
◇ ◇ ◇
「...Everyone, al’s ready!」
Katsuko-nee jumps in the intense atmosphere!
「Katsun! Where are we going to eat today’s lunch/」
「Since the weather’s good, I’ve prepared it at the terrace!」
「Ah, that’s good!...Hey, Misuzu-chan and gumi-chan, let’s go!」
Nei-san calls her out but...Yamamine-san is still looking at the teacher stiffened.
「...Let’s have a al first. We can just leave the complicated talk later right?」
「Yes...got it」
Yamamine-san who had a gloomy face were pulled out by Nei-san and Misuzu...
We co to the terrace facing the backyard of the mansion...
The garden surrounded with high tree has good air.
There’s a big table in the terrace and a white tablecloth hung in it.
On top of it are a lot of platters...
「I was wondering if I’d go with Chinese or Italian but...I focused no making a pasta buffet today. Please take what you like and have a feast!」
I see, there’s different kinds of spaghetti in the platter. There are salad dishes too.
「Ojou-sama, would you want white wine?」
Huh...the butler on white hair I haven’t seen for a while appeared with a wine.
「...I’ll leave it to Morimoto」
The butler poured in wine glass for several number of people.
「...Please」
He poured into each glass in sequence, starting from Sensei.
Lastly, the butler poured into Yamamine-san’s glass...
「This wine was bought when you were born...gumi-sama」
Yamamine-san looks up at the butler...
「Your mother was a very splendid one...I heard your singing voice a while ago but gumi-sama’s voice resembles Emiko very much」
「Do you know my mother?」
「Yes...I know gumi-sama’s experience too. I was the one who delivered you to Yamamine-sama’s house when you were a young miss...!」
Sensei spoke to Yamamine-san.
「You don’t rember since you were still small...I was a high school student back then」
Yamamine-san’s eyes...have tears shedding like rain.
「...I do rember. That’s right...It was you. The one who spoke to with a very gentle voice inside the car...also, this scenery...I rember...!」
Sensei pours in two more wine glasses...
「Morimoto, Katsuko, take these glasses...we’ll all toast for this」
「...Ojou-sama!」
「I don’t mind...our cute daughter ca ho. Everyone must give her blessings...!」
The butler Morimoto-san and Katsuko-nee took the glass...and we too...
「Our gumi has grown up healthily and beautifully...Cheers to gumi’s return!」
「...Cheers!」
Everyone drinks their wine.
「...Now, I’m hungry! gumi-chan, what pasta do you want to eat? I’ll get it for you!」
「...No, I’ll do it myself」
Nei-san embraces Yamamine-san who’s still crying...!
「Katsun and I are children of this mansion too. That’s why we’re gumi-chan’s onee-san! Ah...I ca here latter so gumi-chan’s the onee-san...?!」
「...Uhm, everyone’s...a『Kuromori』?」
Yamamine-san looks at us timidly
「Misuzu’s not...!」
Misuzu answered radiantly.
「Misuzu’s Danna-sama’s pet...!」
「...Pet?」
「Yes, I’m being cherished by Danna-sama!」
Yamamine-san looks at my face in surprise!
「Wrong, wrong!...Yo-chan’s not a 『Guest』 Yo-chan’s a mber of 『Kuromori』 One of Sensei’s 『Toys』...!」
Nei-san explains laughingly
「...A mber of『Kuromori』? Is that so? Yoshida-kun?」
「Un...I beca one before I noticed」
「...Is that true?」
「I am Yuzuki-sensei’s 『Seventh Toy』 A mber of 『Kuromori』...!」
Saying it with my own mouth...feels strange.
But...there’s no regret.
It turned this way...it has co to this.
This is my fate, I think.
「That’s right! Everyone’s gumi-chan’s ally!」
「gumi-sama...please think of as your onee-san!」
「Ah, you’re so sly Katsun! gumi-chan’s my little sister!」
Misuzu spoke to the frolic Nei-san and Katsuko-nee.
「Uhm...is it no good to be a little sister of the two?!」
「Ah, As expected of Mii-chan, you said sothing good!」
「Then, Nei-sama...let’s have it like that!」
「Un, Katsun...you’re our little sister!」
Nei-san jumps around Yamamine-san in pleasure...!
「Oh right oh right...let’s make Mii-chan our little sister while we’re at it!」
「You can’t, Misuzu’s Danna-sama’s pet!」
「Isn’t that fine?! Yo-chan’s pet and also our little sister!」
「I don’t want that!...Danna-sama’s the only one for Misuzu!」
「Uwaaa, Mii-chan declined!!!! Yo-chan, cheer up!」
Nei-san clings to this ti!
My face got buried under her huge breasts!!
「Aah, Nei-san you’re so sly! Danna-sama, too, too!」
Misuzu clings to too...!
Ah, her small beautiful breasts is hitting !!!
Though the feeling of Nei-san’s huge breasts is good...
I can’t just throw away the elasticity of Misuzu’s breasts...!
「Hey, the two of you! We’re in the middle of the al! It’s bad manners!」
「...Katsun scolded eeee!!」
Nei-san pressed her breasts even further!
「gumi-san...I can’t beco gumi-san’s sister. I don’t think of wanting it either」
Misuzu smiles and spoke to Yamamine-san...
「In exchange...let’s beco close friends throughout our life...!」
「Misuzu-san...!」
「Now...let’s eat!」
「Un un, al al!」
「Please eat...!」
The al finally started.
「Danna-sama, which pasta do you like?? Misuzu will feed you!」
Misuzu spins the pasta on the fork and holds it to my mouth.
「Okay...Aaahn!」
...M-Misuzu.
T-This is embarrassing.
Everyone’s looking...
「...please, Danna-sama!!!」
No good...I can’t stand against this lovely face!
...Aaahn.
「Ufu...Is it delicious?」
「D...Delicious...!」
Ah, when I look at her...Nei-san’s eyes is burning!
「Mii-chan...I’ll do it too!」
「No, that kind of job is for the Maid Katsuko!」
Katsuko-nee interferes...!!
「Then...Let’s do it in turns. Nei-san, Katsuko-sama...!」
Ah...Yamamine-san’s looking at us in amazent.
No more, I’m giving up.
Sure sure, I’m such a shaless man...!!
The racket with at the center finally settled after a while.
Right now, I’m eating between the happy girls.
I took a look at the wine in my hand from a distance.
「All of the spaghetti is delicious. Are this all Katsuko-sama’s cooking??」
「That’s right! Katsun’s very good at cooking!」
「If you want then I can teach you anyti you want!」
「Please teach Misuzu! Hey, gumi-san, let’s learn together!」
「...yeah, sure」
She’s still awkward but still, Yamamine-san seems to be able to blend with the girls sohow.
Or could it be that she’s still minding Yuzuki-sensei?...She’s looking at Sensei from ti to ti.
Sensei kept eating while talking to the butler...
「...You’re still worried?」
Nei-san whispered as she saw Yamamine-san’s state.
「...No, I」
「Don’t mind it, donmai...We’ll be taking care of gumi-chan’s anxiety ahead!」
...Anxiety??
「The 『Kuromori』right now is no longer a prostitution section... That’s why I’m still a virgin...」
「...Eh?!」
Yamamine-san’s surprised.
Those words seems to be shocking for her...
「Katsuko too, she’s not inviting a visitor for nearly a year too...!」
「That’s why, gumi-chan will never have to be taking care of a guest from now on. Don’t worry!」
「...But」
「Don’t worry. The current head of 『Kuromori』is Ojou-sama...!」
「Un. Sensei would never do anything that we’d hate!」
In other words.
The head before Yuzuki-sensei...forced Katsuko-nee, Nagisa-san and Iwakura-senpai to prostitution.
It was overturned one year ago...
At those days when Yuzuki-sensei’s the actual head...?
Sensei’s listening to the conversation of the girls?...She stood from her seat and ca to .
「...I have to explain to Yoshida-kun and Misuzu-san...gumi’s mother, Emiko ca to this mansion a decade ago. My father was the head of the at that ti. Emiko got pregnant here...and gave birth. Then, the two of them lived here until gumie beca 6 years old...」
Yamamine-san’s lost mother...was a previous generations 『Kuromori』mber.
Having her pregnant here ans...Just like how Nagisa-san got pregnant with Mao-chan, Yamamine-san’s mother got pregnant with a 『Guest’s』child...?!
「I played with gumi a lot when I was young but...gumi doesn’t seem to rember 」
「...I’m sorry」
「It’s fine...I’ve also changed a lot since the old days」
Sensei...wasn’t like this before
「...Kuromori-sama」
「Please stop calling that formal...gumi, do you rember how you call before??」
「...Minaho-san」
「That’s right. That’s better...use that please」
「...Okay」
「gumi...Was everyone from Yamamine gentle to you?」
「Yes...I was raised like their real daughter」
「I’m glad...I was worried all this ti. About you」
「...I’m sorry for making you worry」
Sensei paused for a mont...then spoke
「gumi...You can freely decide what you want to do from now on」
「...Eh?」
「I know the talk about you coming out of Yamamine house towards Shirasaka house. You can ignore that...!」
...Shirasaka house?
...Yukino’s house?
Speaking of which, there’s the talk of Yamamine-san being in a distant relative of Yukino...
Why is Yukino’s house involved...?/
Yukino’s house...is related to 『Kuromori』too...?!
Oh right...Yukino?!
「Katsuko-nee...what ti is it?!」
Katsuko-nee took out a wristwatch for won that seems expensive when I asked her...
「...12:23!」
Yesterday...Yuzuki-sensei told Yukino that they’d et at school at 11:00!
Where is Yukino right now!?
「Yoshida-kun...calm down. There’s nothing for you to worry about...」
Sensei told as she look at my panicking face.
Sensei’s not saying 『Yukino’s』na on purpose.
To not let Yamamine-san know.
「gumi...I’ll be making the road for you. You can choose the road by your own will...」
「My will...」
「Yes...you can live as the child of Yamamine-san. I can return your Hashimoto family na as Hashimoto Emiko’s daughter. You can live outside the residence just like the old tis...If you want to live outside then I can rent an apartnt. I will bear all the school expenses before graduating, your living costs and also university. You don’t need to worry because it won’t trouble Yamamine-san...!」
「...Minaho-san」
「You’re Emiko-san...『Kuromori’s』daughter but, you don’t need to beco a mber of 『Kuromori』 You are yourself. But...I have the responsibility of protecting you in Emiko-san’s place. I will solve all of the problems you are feeling right now. ...You’re free! You can freely choose your future!!」
Yamamine-san shook her head greatly...
「I’m not free」
「...gumi?」
「I...I understood it from Minaho-san’s talk right now. It was Minaho-san who sent the expenses to Yamamine house for my upbringing, isn’t it」
「...That’s right. Your real father refused. Everything about your upbringing」
「I...was abandoned?/」
「No...That person doesn’t mind the burden of money at all, he opposed you leaving the mansion. He thinks that you being here would be a drawback for 『Kuromori』 Thus, he pushed you to Yamamine-san...」
「...Yes, I know that」
「That person entrusted you to Yamamine-san’s house and is still thinking that he’s ruling you」
「That’s what I think too...if you think of that person’s relation to Yamamine house...!」
Yamamine-san’s eyes had tears spilling.
Just what the hell happened
Yamamine-san’s past...?!
「gumi-chan, stay here! Together with us!」
Nei-san embraces Yamamine-san’s shoulder...!
「Katsuko will be making you als everyday!」
...Katsuko-san too
「...I feel sorry for gumi-san!」
Misuzu clings to and bursts into tears...
...I
「Yamamine-san, fight! It’s no good to give up! If you don’t you’d just regret it for your whole life!」
Yamamine-san got startled with my words then she looked at .
「...Yoshida-kun?」
「I don’t get it but...But, I don’t think that you should entrust your life to soone. You have to get hurt to gain it...!」
「...Is that okay for ? To fight」
「...Isn’t it Yamamine-san’s life?!」
I shouted.
I don’t know why...
That’s right, I can’t help but shout...!
Yamamine-san turns around to Sensei!
「Minaho-san...I!」
Yamamine-san said it clearly...
「I...I want to avenge my mother...!」
Sensei’s surprised!
「...gumi, you!」
「I could... never forgive that person!」
Yamamine-san shouts while grasping both her hands tightly...!
「Are you sure gumi?...You’re going to fall to hell you know...!」
「I don’t mind...!」
Yamamine-san’s eyes are determined.
Sensei opened her mouth.
「The current 『Kuromori』are all acting only for revenge. Your revenge would be included in that revenge. That’s why, there’s no need for gumi to defile her body... You can stay as clean as you were...!」
「I don’t want to just watch! If Minaho-san gets dirty, then I’ll get dirty too...! I’ll follow you until hell!」
「...gumi」
Nei-san spoke quietly.
「Sensei...Sensei’s revenge is our revenge. Sensei didn’t just drag us...we’re all fighting the sa fight」
「That’s right, Ojou-sama...Ojou-sama released Katsuko and the others. Ojou-sama’s pain is Katsuko’s pain1」
「I’m sure Maru-chan would say the sa thing. If we’re not called out by Sensei, I think we might’ve been killed by those people...!」
Sensei looked at and Misuzu.
「Sorry...Yoshida-kun and Misuzu-san’s not related here. Especially Yoshida-kun...you were just dragged into this plan of mine...」
...I see
Sensei’s plan was towards the Shirasaka house since the beginning.
She just chose as a piece to make Shirasaka Yukino fall.
...But
The right now...
「No...I’m also Sensei’s 『Toy』 A mber of 『Kuromori』 Sensei’s revenge will be my revenge...I will follow everyone to the end...!」
Misuzu jumps at my words!
「That’s my Danna-sama! Misuzu is everyone’s ally! I love you everyone...!!!!」
Misuzu smiles...
Nei-san and Katsuko-nee too...
「...Everyone」
Sensei looks at Yamamine-san
Yamamine-san looks straight at Sensei...
「gumi...Are you really going to do anything for the sake of revenge?」
「I will...」
「I won’t go easy」
「I’ll do anything Minahio-san orders...」
「...You might get prostituted?!」
「...I’m ready for it」
「...You might even kill a person」
「I’m fine...I’ll endure anything」
「...Got it」
Sensei embraced Yamamine-san.
「...gumi, from now on, you’re my 『Eighth toy』...!」
