Chapter 440

Pure Love x Insult Complex Chapter 440 . Women’s harmony

「 Did you call for me, Onii-sama? 」

After talking with Mana, this time Ruriko comes over .
Ruriko’s hiding her crotch and chest with a towel and her hands .

「 Uhm, I thought that exposing my skin would make Onii-sama pleased but, Nei-oneesama gave me advice saying that Ruriko must not forget embarrassment 」

Ruriko says as she blushes .

「 Yeah, true, it’s better to have only Mana walking around naked without concern . Ruriko’s much cuter when embarrassed 」
「 Thank you very much 」
「 Come here 」
「 Yes 」

Ruriko comes to my bathtub .

「 Ah, Mana’s breaking the rules of not soaking the towel in bath 」

I say in panic .
Ruriko doesn’t have experience in bathing as groups .

「 Is that so? 」
「 Yeah, you take off the towel and keep it outside the tub 」
「 Certainly 」

Ruriko folds her towel precisely then puts it on the edge of the tub .
Once again, she goes to my side, hiding her nipples and crotch with one hand .

「 Do you take a bath with Yoshiko-san usually? 」
「 In the past, yes, but Ruriko’s already an adult . I take baths alone 」

I see .
Just because she’s an Ojou-sama, she doesn’t need to have someone to wash her body .

「 I have Yoshiko-sama take care of my hair after taking a bath 」
「 Taking care of your hair? 」
「 Making sure that it’s dried up properly, combed, or else women’s hair becomes messy 」

I-I see .

「 Yoshiko-sama washes my body until elementary school . Thinking about it now, I feel sorry for her 」

Ruriko and Yoshiko-san’s age difference is three years .
Ever since she became old enough to be aware, Yoshiko-san looked after Ruriko as her attendant .
But, Yoshiko-san’s actually Ruriko’s cousin .
Ruriko seems to feel sorry making her blood-related cousin take care of her all this time .

「 Then, this time, let’s have Ruriko wash Yoshiko-san’s back . You can take a bath together again 」
「 Onii-sama 」

Ruriko looks at me .

「 Just have Ruriko do what Yoshiko-san has done to you until now . It’s not like you won’t be meeting Yoshiko-san again! 」
「 Yes, that’s true 」

Ruriko nods .

「 Onii-sama, would you mind having me next to you? 」
「 No, come 」

Ruriko sits next to me .
Her smooth shoulders stick tightly to me .

「 I like Onii-sama . I’m delighted I met Onii-sama 」

Ruriko

「 Now, I’m having fun on everything I can’t hold back . All things surprise me come one after another, I would not have imagined taking a bath with everyone, naked, like this . To think I would feel this much peace from taking a bath with a man 」

Ruriko kisses my chest .

「 Then, what is the subject of my call? 」

This 15-year-old Ojou-sama looks up at me, smiling .

「 Yeah, since this is an excellent opportunity for Ruriko, try to get along with people you do not get along with 」

Everyone other than Minaho-neesan and Kyouko-san’s group is in the bathroom .

「 The people, I don’t get along with? 」

Ruriko shows a curious face .

「 I have already talked to most people, but, 」

She was with Nei and Margo-san from the time they kidnap her .
Mana, Mao-chan, and Agnes were making cake under Katsuko-nee’s guidance .
Misuzu and Michi, are known from long ago .

「 Is this about Edie-san? 」
「 No, let’s leave Edie to Michi 」

I don’t understand the thoughts of that American fighting girl that well .
No, even Michi’s train of thought becomes uneasy sometimes, but;
Michi can be understood when she talks, and Misuzu and others are watching over her .
Michi seems to be thinking about Edie so let’s try to watch over them for a while .

「 Then, is it about Megumi-oneesama and Nagisa-oneesama? 」

There it comes .

「 Why do you call Megumi with -oneesama and Nagisa is just -sama? 」
「 Ah 」

Ruriko mumbles .

「 No, it’s merely because you didn’t have enough time to talk and understand each other, right? 」
「 I think so too 」

Ruriko admits

「 No, it is as Onii-sama says, I might not be getting along with them that well 」
「 Huh? 」
「 I don’t usually have a relationship with a motherly woman until now 」

It’s not motherly, Nagisa is Mao-chan’s mother .

「 Ah, Ruriko’s bad with her mother 」

I understand what’s in Ruriko’s mind .

「 No, uhm, I 」

Misuzu grew up with her parents, but,
Jii-chan separated Ruriko from her parents, isolated then raised her with Yoshiko-san
That’s of course under the strict command of the head of Kouzuki house, Jii-chan, but,
But still, just because of an order, the beloved daughter’s separated from the parents .
The father, Kouzuki Shigeaki’s also a problem .

「 Don’t worry . I’m the same 」

I smile at Ruriko .

「 This isn’t boasting, but I never talked to my mother properly ever since I was born 」

The other side was ordered arbitrarily
No, that’s also different,
That person never talked to me directly .
That person just orders me about Father or Grandma .
That person doesn’t even look into my eyes .

「 Onii-sama 」
「 Ask about me from Misuzu, Megu, or Nei-neesan . I think that would help Ruriko to get along with everyone 」

Yeah

「 I see, I think of myself as Mao’s father, I think of myself as Nagisa’s husband, so I don’t hate Nagisa’s motherliness 」

I see a new perspective in my mind thanks to Ruriko .

「 Or rather, Ruriko’s image of Nagisa as Mao-chan’s mother is too strong . You have to fix that 」
「 What do you mean? 」
「 Nagisa is my woman before Mao-chan’s Mama . She’s one of Ruriko’s precious family . She’s Ruriko’s elder sister 」
「 yes 」
「 Try to look at her as a woman . She’s a bright, gentle and a lovely sister 」
「 I understand, Onii-sama 」

Also .

「 Rei-chan too, Ruriko’s the only one calling her『 Fujimiya-san 』, right? Of course, Ruriko’s been having Rei-chan as a guard from Kouzuki security service so I don’t think that could be fixed, but; 」
「 Ah, that’s not the case 」

Huh, Ruriko?

「 I purposely talk to Fujimiya-san like that 」

On purpose?

「 Yes, I think that Onii-sama’s thought of regressing her to early childhood would be good for fixing her twisted views, but, 」

Ruriko speaks .

「 She may be a toddler in mind, but Fujimiya-san’s body is already an adult . I think that the person herself feels the most discomfort 」

Yeah, Reika’s tall, and she also has a wonderfully fleshed out body .

「 Therefore, when we all speak to Fujimiya-san as her infant mode “Rei-chan,” I thought that Fujimiya-san herself feels that she’s stuck between a rock and a hard place . Furthermore, she’s under the impression that she’s the one making herself feeling out of place so Fujimiya-san might lead to self-denial speaking my senses are mistaken 」

I-I see that’s why

「 Then, I call her “Fujimiya-san” occasionally . It shows that the sense of discomfort she’s feeling is from the outside . I think it’s a necessary safety device for Fujimiya-san’s spirit 」

Ruriko’s been thinking about that, I see .

「 No, I do not deny Onii-sama’s thoughts . I think that it’s undoubtedly better for Fujimiya-san to go back to her early childhood and experience rebuilding her relationship with others . But, it’s dangerous to completely regress her to an infant, as expected, there has to be a stop somewhere 」

Yeah, Ruriko’s right .

「 Fujimiya-san’s has come and gone between an infant and adult so many times . I think that the magnitude of the fluctuation has a positive influence on Fujimiya-san . Therefore 」
「 Got it, do what you feel is right 」

We’ll call Reika as Rei-chan .
Ruriko will call her Fujimiya-san .
That would make Reika’s heart go back and forth as a toddler and adult .
Her heart will sway .
It’s dangerous to fix her only to a young girl, Ruriko’s right .

「 You really understand people’s hearts 」

I tell Ruriko .

「 I think that it’s because one can observe from the outside, objectively, calmly 」

Ruriko’s skin soaked in hot water has become red .
There are beads of sweat floating on her forehead and nose .

「 If it’s my own heart, I won’t understand it 」

Ah

「 It’s about Yoshiko-san? 」
「 Yes, I can’t see the answer to what I would like to do with Yoshiko-sama or what I should do 」

The future’s unobstructed yet she can’t see her answer .

「 Onii-sama, what should I think about in the future?
「 Future/
「 Yes, Onii-sama has great power now, what would use this power for? 」

Power?

「 No, I don’t have any power 」

I’m a dumb guy
I don’t have any athletic ability .

「 No, Onii-sama has the wisdom and courage, authority, assets, and even violence, everything 」

Huh?

「 Kuromori-sama and Katsuko-oneesama have the intellect . Kouzuki house’s authority and wealth . Kyouko-sama’s fighting power . Onii-sama has the potential to influence both the surface and the underground world! 」

I smile wryly

「 That’s the power Minaho-neesan has in Kuromori, that has nothing to do with me 」
「 What are you talking about, Onii-sama’s the center of all the powers connected . Onii-sama’s in the middle, so that’s why we’re stable 」
「 Is that so? 」

I’m just a normal high school student1
I’m even inferior to other people .

「 I’m already filled with the thoughts of what I have to do 」

Ruriko smiles .

「 What you have to do? 」
「 Yeah . First would be searching a school Mana could transfer . I’m also worried about Megu’s clubmates, worried about Michi and Edie . Also, of course, Agnes-chan and Rei-chan too . Also 」
「 What is it? 」

She’s not here so, how is Yukino doing?
Since she has an amazing nerve, she could be sleeping soundly under a blanket .

「 I’m worried about Minaho-neesan 」

It had a good result to have her away from the mansion for one night, but;
Minaho-neesan’s revenge will be finished this evening .

「 Also, I’m of course worried about Ruriko and Yoshiko-san too 」
「 T-Thank you 」

Ruriko blushed .

「 Jii-chan too, I hope he doesn’t get dispirited 」

Jii-chan’s also my family .

「 I have to resolve each and one of them 」

Yeah

「 I’m already doing all my best on those . That’s the only thing I can do after all 」

I don’t have the time to think about the future .

「 Onii-sama, do you not have a dream or purpose in life? 」
「 For now, a bakery 」

I declared .

「 A bakery? 」
「 Yeah, I promised Katsuko-nee, besides, I have to work and earn money 」
「 Why? 」
「 Because money’s needed for Megu and Mana’s tuition and other expenses 」
「 So Onii-sama will make bread for those? 」

Ruriko’s surprised .

「 Yeah, I’ll make bread and sell it . That’s all I can think of, for now, either way, Katsuko-nee has decided to make a shop . I have to help her . Ah, I will help out in Nagisa’s shop too 」
「 Onii-sama?! 」
「 Ah, don’t misunderstand, Mana and Megu doesn’t have parents now, so I have to earn their tuition and living expenses but, I’ll make for Ruriko as well 」
「 For me too? 」
「 Yeah, that’s obvious . You’re also my woman 」
「 However, Kouzuki-sama’s put out my support cost 」

Oh, Jii-chan did say that . He said he’ll pay hundreds of millions a year?

「 That’s on its own, well, I can deposit it to Minaho-neesan and Katsuko-nee . But, I want to earn money for you 」

If not, I’m not a man .

「 Either way, the money I earn will be divided evenly and handed to everyone . I don’t have any hobbies nor wants 」

The problem is whether I can feed everyone with the wage I earn from the bakery or not .
Well, Katsuko-nee’s going to manage the bakery .
I will just do all my best .

「 Is that okay with you, Onii-sama? 」

Ruriko asks .

「 Obviously it is . Isn’t that what it means to live with everyone? To be happy together? 」

That’s what I think .

「 My aim is just that . To make everyone live happily . For that, I will do everything one by one . That’s all I can do so there’s no choice but to do it 」

I accepted my family .
I definitely don’t want to let go of them .

「 I’m moved 」

Ruriko said .

「 Onii-sama is like this that’s why Katsuko-oneesama, Nagisa-sama, Kuromori-sama are so attached to Onii-sam 」
「 I guess . I’m unreliable after all 」

I can’t do anything without them .

「 I’m grateful to my elder sisters 」
「 That’s not true, Onii-sama’s very strong 」

Ruriko smiles at me .

「 Hey, it’s about time you free him up, the other girls will get angry if you don’t 」

Katsuko-nee comes and tells Ruriko .

「 Ah, I’m sorry 」

I

「 Ruriko too, if you want to do something then tell me . I’ll help you out 」
「 Onii-sama? 」
「 Don’t hold yourself for me . It’s Ruriko’s life after all 」
「!」
「 I will make you happy as well . Definitely! 」

Ruriko hugs me .
Tightly, strongly

「 I already am 」
「 Then I will make you even happier 」
「 Yes 」

Ruriko kisses my forehead kindly .

「 This person guards the base so we can attack more outside 」

Katsuko-nee tells Ruriko .

「 If you get tired and come home, he will come to heal you . He will never betray his family . He will always smile and hug you 」
「 Yes, Katsuko-oneesama 」

Ruriko smiles at me .

「 Let’s have Onii-sama stay in the center of the house! 」
「 That’s how it is, if he’s at home, we can fight outside in peace 」
「 What do you mean, Katsuko-nee? 」

I don’t get what Katsuko-nee’s talking about .

「 Hmm, even if you make bread in my bakery, you must devote to production 」
「 Huh? 」
「 You see, in a bakery, there’s a shop-front seller, there are other girls better than you in that, right? 」
「 No, I’ll do it alone 」
「 Look, in a bakery, you must make bread quickly all day 」

What?

「 In mornings, you make breakfast bread, during lunch, lunch bread . Afternoon, snacks . At nights, you make bread for a take-home or French bread . Depending on the type of day, you have to make different kinds of bread, make, bake, make bake, a repetition of it 」
「 I see 」

I see it’s different from convenience store’s bread .
I must contest with freshly baked bread .

「 That’s why, you make the bread in the bakery, or instead there’s a lot of candidates for a cute girl seller 」

Ah, that’s true .
Instead of me, Megu, Mana, Nei, are all beauties .
It will sell more if the sellers are women .

「 You can make bread, and when you’re free, play with Mao-chan and other girls . We’ll deal with the business side 」

Katsuko-nee smiles .

「 Yeah, I’ll leave that to Katsuko-nee and others of course 」

I don’t think I have a business sense
Katsuko-nee looks at RUriko .

「 He will protect the home in that manner . The place we come home is his place, so you understand what’s for the best, right? 」

Ruriko

「 True, it certainly might 」
「 He’s such an honest and kind person . It’s dangerous to let him out carelessly 」

What?

「 Am I that useless? 」
「 That’s not it, but look, it would be troublesome if you get caught by a strange girl 」

Katsuko-nee laughs .

「 Katsuko-oneesama, you’ve already thought of a specific plan for it 」

Ruriko’s admiring

「 Well, of course, it’s our future after all 」

Katsuko-nee laughs .

「 By the way, my bakery and Nagisa’s flower shop will be in the same building . We’ll be buying the whole building . We’ll be living on the upper floor . Then we’ll make a big bath just like this one so everyone can come in . I’m still talking to Nagisa on which place will that be 」

Katsuko-nee seems to be promoting the plan she was talking about before .

「 Then, what would you do, Ruriko-san? 」
「 Yes? 」

Ruriko’s surprised .

「 Do you want to make contributions using Kouzuki-sama’s money? 」
「 Uhm 」
「 You’re a much more business-minded woman than Misuzu-san 」

Ruriko’s shocked .

「 I don’t mind if the building we buy would have something other than a bakery and a flower shop 」

Does that mean?

「 Ruriko-san’s the type that wants to do her own business than us who want to be nurtured by him, right? 」

Katsuko-nee laughs and looks into Ruriko’s eyes .

「 That might be 」

Ruriko admits .

「 Then, think about it, you don’t need to do it now . Well, considering the preparation period and the refurbishment of the building, let’s make the goal for about a year 」
「 Thank you very much 」

Ruriko bows her head .

「 Then, let’s go to where everyone is 」

Ruriko said then went back to Agnes’ group .

「 That girl’s fundamentally ambitious . She’s a girl brimming with the intention of becoming the successor of Kouzuki house 」

Katsuko-nee said as she looks at Ruriko’s back .

「 Therefore, we have to make her do her own business she can practice . If not, she’ll suffocate 」

I see .
Ruriko’s a girl who’s the most similar to Jii-chan .

「 She’ll no longer worry about Kouzuki house, so it’s better to let her do what she wants 」

Ah, that’s why
She was asking for my purpose .
Actually, Ruriko’s seeking her own future, not mine .

「 Our family, girls who become sex slaves become externally active, you see? 」

Mana said that she wants to become a supermodel .
Misuzu, my pet also said that she’d go to Tokyo University and become a high-level bureaucrat .

「 Well, since she’s a cheerful girl she wants to be bound in sex 」

Katsuko-nee said .

「 No, Katsuko-nee, I think Megu mentioned that she likes being bound 」

I answered .

「 That’s because Megumi-chan’s family oriented, so she’s the type that wants to be bound as it’s different from usual . In her case, it’s better for her not to work outside and just stay inside the house 」

Katsuko-nee’s thinking of everyone’s future .

「 If we’re talking about staying in-house, Agnes will be there too . She’s basically an indoors girl . Thinking about her, sorry but, we would like you to stay home as much as possible 」

True .
Therefore, I would be making bread in the bakery?
There’s no problem if the house is in the same building as the store .

「 Also, it would be the best to have Agnes make bread with you once she becomes an adult but, that’s too much to hope for 」

Katsuko-nee smiles wryly
She’s already thinking for ten years ahead .

「 That girl’s too cute, so, she could be a signboard-girl for the flower shop 」

Nagisa comes .

「 Nagisa’s shop signboard-girl is Mao-chan isn’t she? 」
「 Not bad, two signboard-girls 」

Nagisa smiles

「 But, before that, in her case, there’s a lot of things to consider such as family register and education 」

Katsuko-nee .

「 I guess let’s make her a returnee child? Her face is foreign after all 」
「 No, Nagisa, Agnes can only speak Japanese 」

Ah, she’s always been looked after by Shirasaka Sousuke’s nanny after meals .

「 Then we can just teach her a foreign language . Either way, we only have to teach her primary education 」

Agnes has never been to a school before .

「 Reading, writing, math, social studies 」
「 She’s twelve now . She’s going to a middle school next year, so why don’t we have her fit with the ordinary girls? 」
「 Then, we have to teach her primary education, a suitable foreign language, and have her enroll as a returning child 」

Katsuko-nee said .

「 There’s no other way 」

There’s a lot of things to do .

「 Onii-chan! Mao-chan said she wants Onii-chan to wash her body! 」

Mana calls me .

「 Got it . I’m going! 」

It’s about time I get off .

「 Mana’s next! 」
「 I’m next! 」

Mana and Nei raise their hands .
I’m sure it’ll end up with everyone wanting me to wash their body
Geez, this is getting busy . Seriously
