Chapter 444
「 Hold on to this 」
Reika hands me the tablet .
「 Funnu! 」
Then, she stabs the asphalt in front of the entrance .
「 Fujimiya Reika forgoes to war! 」
Forgoes?
「 Toaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! 」
Reika stands ready . She yelled to put herself in high spirits and went to the garage in a blink of an eye .
Yeah, that’s indeed a beautiful running form .
「 What’s wrong with Rei-chan 」
Mana comes to me in surprise .
「 No, I don’t know either 」
If I check Margo-san’s instructions in this tablet, then I’ll know what Reika’s about to do, but;
Well, I’d rather not see it .
I’m not really good at acting .
If Minaho-neesan’s watching the feed, then I can’t deceive her .
Anyway, let’s just be ready at all times .
For the time being, I went back to Agnes’ leisure sheet .
「 She finally started moving 」
Nagisa whispers to me .
「 You can leave the mansion to me 」
Yeah . Reika’s about to kidnap us .
Nagisa has to stay here until Katsuko-nee and Kyouko-san returns to the mansion .
A report to Minaho-neesan too,
「 Once you get outside, buy shoes for Agnes 」
Nagisa caresses Agnes’ feet .
「 Oh, you’re right 」
Agnes who was confined to the basement for all this time doesn’t have shoes even though she has clothes .
Shirasaka Sousuke dresses up Agnes like his own dress up doll .
But, Agnes in the room wasn’t given shoes .
Therefore, Agnes was wearing slippers when we came to the dining hall from the basement .
From the entrance, garden, to this leisure sheet, I carried her in my arms .
Agnes now is in her barefoot .
「 She needs shoes so she could stand on her feet 」
Agnes looks up at me curiously .
「 Come, Agnes . I’ll carry you 」
「 Yes, Papa 」
Agnes clings to me .
She seems to like being carried .
Good, I can take Agnes anywhere with this .
「 Onii-sama? 」
Ruriko comes to my side .
「 What’s about to happen? 」
「 Unfortunately, I don’t knot it either 」
I handed the tablet Reika gave to me to Nagisa .
「 I’ll delete the file . Since it’s Reika-oneesan, she should’ve memorized it all 」
Nagisa opens the tablet and operates it .
Reika’s received education as a top elite of Kouzuki security service .
Well, it’ll be fine .
Babun, bababababa!
Then, Reika comes from the garage with Margo-san’s white van .
「 Huh, why? Isn’t Nagisa-oneesan’s car out already? 」
Mana shouts .
Yeah, the schedule on the surface is: Reika takes Nagisa and Mao-chan and heads to the flower shop .
Nagisa’s red car is already prepared for transport, so there’s no need to take a new car from the garage .
But, if we use Nagisa’s car on our plan, Nagisa would be in trouble .
「 That’s Margo-chan’s private car you see? 」
Nagisa whispers to me secretly .
「 Furthermore, it’s a car for operations, so Minaho’s surveillance system is disconnected only in that van 」
Huh?
「 Where our cars are going are always transmitted to Minaho-san . But look, that white van’s used for camouflage, right? 」
Oh, the “Maruko Printing” or “Maruko entertainment . ”
It doesn’t have a company name sticker on it now .
It looks like just a white business van .
「 if ever by chance that car is reached by the enemy’s hand, you can quickly remove the link system machine 」
Oh, in case it becomes a bit dangerous, Margo-san can take out the equipment and get out .
Then that means Margo-san has already removed the link system from the garage .
「 If you go out with her, Minaho-san won’t know where you go 」
So that’s why it’s that white van?
Dasun!
The white van stops in front of the entrance then Reika comes out from the driver’s seat .
「 Sorry! 」
She pulls out the can she stabbed a while ago, then;
Reika runs to the mansion
「 W-What’s happening?! 」
Mana’s surprised .
「 Kieeeeeeeeiiii! 」
Dogaaa! Bakibaki!
The sound of destruction can be heard from indoors .
Reika’s destroying the door to the reception room where Yukino’s confined .
「 W-What!? What’s with you?!!!! 」
Yukino’s shout echoes through the hallway and the entrance .
「 We’re escaping from here! 」
Reika said .
「 E-Escape, what?! 」
「 Don’t ask questions! 」
Doka, baki!
Doga! Basha! Garurururu!
…Reika, hey?!
The violent destruction sound continues for a while .
That room’s already messed up .
Eventually .
「 Haa, haa, haa 」
Reika appears in the front door looking like a revenant .
Reika’s awfully agitated .
She’s breathing roughly .
On her left shoulder is Yukino who seems to have fainted .
On her right hand is, of course, her battle cane .
「 W-What are you doing, Rei-chan! 」
Mana shouts .
「 That person’s our enemy! She should be confined! 」
I knew it .
She’ll be revolting violently when it comes to Yukino .
「 Uuu, uuu, Uuu, Shut up! 」1
Reika went to the back of the van and stuffed the fainted Yukino in .
「 What are you doing! Hey, Rei-chan!
「 Oh, oh, oh 」
After flapping her mouth, Reika somehow managed to speak up .
「 I-I won’t tell! 」
「 What?! 」
Mana’s dumbfounded
「 I-I won’t tell you! I won’t tell you! 」
「 R-Rei-chan???? 」
Then, Reika points the cane to me .
「 Oh, oh, oh 」
She still can’t speak .
「 Onii-chama! 」
Are you calling me Onii-chama here?
「 No, no, no 」
No?
「 Get iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!!! 」2
O-Oh!
Get in the car, is that it?
「 I-If you you don’t get in, I’ll beat up everyone! 」
Reika swings around her cane
「 I-I’m going to beat up everyone!!! 」
Err .
「 P-Papaa 」
Agnes got scared of Reika’s abnormality, and she clings to me .
「 It’s okay . It’s okay 」
I hug Agnes tightly .
「 Well, I have this . Is it okay to take Agnes with us? 」
I said, Reika
「 Kyo, kyo, kyo 」
Kyo?
「 Allowed 」3
Ah, I see .
「 Rei-chan’s so funny! Bachi Guu! 」
Looking at Reika agitated without knowing the reason, Mao-chan comes running .
「 Mao, no! Come here 」
Nagisa calls her daughter .
「 Huh, why? 」
「 Just come, I’ll buy you a picture book later 」
「 Un, Mama! 」
Mao-chan changes her path to Nagisa .
Mao-chan jumps to Nagisa and hugs her tightly .
「 O-O-O-Onii-chama! 」
Reika speaks to me after a while .
「 G-Get, in, t-the car, h-hurry, R-Rei-chan wants to be together 」
Hmm
「 Ruriko, it would be hard to take care of Agnes with me alone so come 」
「 Yes, Onii-sama 」
Ruriko responds immediately, showing a serious look .
「 Rei-chan, you’ll allow it right . 」
「 A-A-A-A-Allowed! 」
Calm down, Reika .
Take a deep breath .
「 Eh, if so then I’m going too! 」
Mana tells me .
「 Something’s weird with Rei-chan, it’s dangerous Onii-chan! 」
Right, Mana who doesn’t know anything sees Reika’s state as madness
「 I’ll do something about it 」
I tell Mana .
「 Anyway, Mana should report what happened just now to Minaho-neesan . Also, take care of Nagisa and Mao-chan 」
「 But 」
「 There’s no one I can rely on for now but Mana 」
I look at Mana’s eyes .
Mana kisses me .
「 Okay, but please come back right away 」
「 Yeah, we’ll be back before evening 」
I promised Mana
「 Eh, Papa, where are you going? 」
Mao-chan looks up at me .
「 That, I’m going out for a bit 」
「 Eh, Mao’s coming too! 」
Mao-chan shouts while Nagisa hugs her .
「 No, Mao stays with Mama 」
「 Then Mama go with Papa too 」
Mao persists
「 Geez . You know that Mama has to go to the shop, don’t you? If Mama doesn’t work then, Mao and Mama won’t be able to eat food 」
「 Ugh 」
I
「 Mao-chan, I’ll buy you a present 」
「 Really Papa?! 」
「 Yeah, I promise, so wait with Nagisa 」
「 Then I’ll wait with Mama 」
Okay, Mao-chan’s okay now .
「 H-H-H-Hurry up and get in! H-H-H-Hurry! 」
Reika hurries us .
「 Y-Yeah, Ruriko, please 」
「 Yes 」
I carry Agnes and enter the van with Ruriko .
「 Onii-chan . 」
「 Mana, it’s okay, take care of the rest . Also, don’t let Megu know . We’ll be done before Megu’s club activity’s done 」
I don’t want her to go off her practice early .
「 Yeah 」
「 Anyway, contact Minaho-neesan, Katsuko-nee, and Margo-san and consult with them . Nagisa knows how to reach them 」
「 Got it . Take care 」
Then, Mana glares at Reika .
「 Rei-chan! Mana won’t forgive you if you do anything terrible to Onii-chan, Ruri-oneechan or Agnes-chan! 」
Mana .
Sorry
「 If you want to do something wrong then do it with Yukino-san! Messing up that person is okay! 」
What do you mean by that?
I knew it . I think that not bringing Mana is a good choice .
Anyway, her hostility towards Yukino is too intense .
「 C-Certainly! 」
Reika’s response is also incoherent .
We sit on the back seat .
《 LALALALALA 》
Edie comes over while singing a song .
Shit
I forgot about Edie .
「 Wafun? 」
Edie stops, looking at the tense situation .
T-This is bad .
If Mana incites Edie here,
It’ll become a serious battle with Reika .
Then .
Edie speaks something while she smiles .
Then, Ruriko answered in English .
Edie nods then said something again .
Then, she comes to our van .
「 Ruriko, what did you say? 」
I asked .
「 Edie-san asks if we’re going somewhere 」
「 Y-Yeah 」
「 Then I answered, “to the sea” 」
「 Why sea? 」
「 That’s just a spur of the moment 」
Hey, Ruriko?
「 Then, Edie-san said that she hadn’t seen Japan’s sea yet, so she’s coming too 」
Huh
Then, Edie takes a seat on the passenger seat .
「 Onii-chan! 」
「 No, don’t say anything Mana 」
I ready myself .
「 While we’re at it, I think it’s better to have Edie with us too 」
Mana seems to have felt that Edie works as a restraint to the mad Reika .
「 Okay, take care 」
Then, she speaks in English .
「 Mana-san asked Edie-san to protect Onii-sama and us 」
Edie nods, then she waved to Mana and Mao-chan .
「 Rei-chan, everyone’s in 」
I tell Reika .
「 Eh, ah, ha, uuuuuuuuuh 」
She’s behaving suspiciously .
「 Get yourself together, Reika! 」
I said, Reika’s surprised .
「 Y-Yes, then we’re leaving 」
She gets in the driver’s seat .
「 Mana, Nagisa, Mao-chan 」
I talk to the three from the car window .
「 It’s okay . Take care of the rest 」
Nagisa who knows the outline of this kidnapping operation tells me .
「 Onii-chan take care 」
Mana looks worried, I responded with a smile .
「 Papa, souvenirs please! 」
Mao-chan is smiling .
◇ ◇ ◇
The white van drives away .
「 Ruriko, stay low 」
「 Yes, Onii-sama 」
Outside the entrance is Kouzuki security service’ surveillance .
They all know Ruriko’s face .
If the daughter of Kouzuki house is riding a car then, of course, they will follow it .
「 Is this good enough? 」
Ruriko lowers her head and hides behind the shadow of the seat then I cover her with a blanket .
「 Rei-chan, you know how to open the front gate, right? 」
I asked, Reika;
「 Y-Yes, M-Margo-san taught me E-Earlier 」
She’s still stuttering .
Reika’s in a state of agitation .
「 Calm down, show your face clearly to the people from Kouzuki security service If they know that Reika’s driving then they’ll feel at ease 」
「 Y-Yes 」
The white van stops before the iron gate .
Reika operates the equipment as taught .
The iron door opens .
「 Ah 」
There’s less than usual Kouzuki security service and police cars watching in front of the mansion .
Each of them has only one sedan car parked from each side .
Oh, I see .
They followed Margo-san’s car which has Misuzu, then Katsuko-nee’s car heading to the school .
Now, there’s only this much left here .
「 Rei-chan, salute them 」
「 Ha! 」
Reika faces the cars of Kouzuki security service and salutes .
The people over there salute in return .
The police are looking at the situation .
In short, they think that this car is related to Kouzuki security service .
「 W-W-W-W-W-Where should we go? 」
Reika asks me .
If we go right, it’s the school .
Reika’s fleeing from the mansion;
Therefore, she shouldn’t be going to the route to the school where Minaho-neesan and everyone else is .
Therefore .
「 Let’s go left . 」
「 Y-Yes yes, yes! 」
Reika turns the van left and steps on the accelerator .
Buooooo!
「 Agnes-chan, it’s okay . There’s nothing scary 」
Reika crawls out of the blanket and speaks to Agnes in my arms .
「 Ruriko, you 」
Yes, Onii-sama?
Ruriko’s calm smile confuses me .
「 Don’t you think it’s strange/ 」
Reika’s sudden abnormality
She took out Yukino who’s confined then asked us to get inside the car .
In spite of that .
As soon as the car starts off, I give Reika instructions .
「 There must be a reason for this, is there not/ 」
Ruriko smiles at me .
「 Well, yeah 」
「 If so, Ruriko won’t say anything . I’ll just follow Onii-sama 」
Ruriko
「 Besides, I’ve understood most of it from Edie-san’s actions 」
Huh?!
「 If Fujimiya-san really rebels against us then her mind should be more ferocious . Edie-san who can feel Qi, shouldn’t be smiling like that 」
Ah, she quickly found out about the farce .
「 Mao-chan was also not scared of Fujimiya-san 」
True
「 I-I’m sorry! 」
Reika who’s holding the steering wheel lowers her head .
「 Kuromori-sama will notice it immediately I think 」
Ruriko, this was a play to make Minaho-neesan notice .
「 No, that’s fine . If she thinks that Rei-chan really betrayed us, we don’t know what Minaho-neesan would do 」
Minaho-neesan will use all her resources on the underground to find this car .
She would use any kind of means definitely .
「 Rather than that, we want it to put in a state where it’s unknown how far is the play and how far is the truth . We want Minaho-neesan to be troubled for a while 」
If there’s the possibility it’s all a play then Minaho-neesan would avoid talking to the people from the underground society .
「 Besides, as long as we have Yukino, Minaho-neesan can’t calm down 」
All of Shirasaka Sousuke’s daughters must be raped before his eyes .
That is the climax of Minaho-neesan’s planned revenge .
Especially Yukino, Shirasaka Sousuke’s most beloved daughter .
Without Yukino there, the revenge cannot start .
「 But, for what purpose is this? 」
Ruriko looks at me .
「 Well you see, I actually don’t know . This is all Margo-san’s plan, the content of the plan is to let Minaho-neesan’s head with tracking us till the evening 」
「 Till the evening? 」
「 Yeah, we’ll be back by night 」
The schedule of the revenge on Shirasaka Sousuke doesn’t change .
「 I understand, then if it’s in the plan then why do something so troublesome as this? 」
Well .
「 Minaho-neesan told me that if we don’t dispose of him by the end of today, his heart will break . Doing revenge on a disabled man won’t ease up her mind, so it’s meaningless to do the revenge after that 」
I pat Agnes’ head .
It’s better not to speak the name Shirasaka Sousuke in front of Agnes .
Agnes looks up at my face .
「 Is that so? Desuno? 」
「 Yeah . The time limit is this evening . I told them to wait till evening 」
I want to open up Agnes’ heart .
Ah .
I realized one thing .
「 Papa 」
「 Yeah, Agnes . It’s okay . Are you feeling cold? 」
「 No Papa’s with me, so it’s warm 」
Minaho-neesan actually wants to have Agnes raped horribly in front of Shirasaka Sousuke .
A disastrous rape that would make Agnes cry .
Because she was raped by Shirasaka Sousuke at the same age as Agnes now,
But, the suffering of raping Mana,
I know that I don’t want to do such assault .
Minaho-neesan gave me time to open up Agnes’ heart for me . She’ll wait .
Nee-san holds down her heart .
「 Therefore, Nee-san’s been secluding herself in the school since last night 」
She doesn’t want me to see touching Agnes gently
Therefore she left the mansion .
Instead, she got close to Shirasaka Sousuke, decided to burn up the flames of hatred for today’s revenge .
Worried about Minaho-neesan, Kyouko-san accompanied her last night .
Margo-san also made this kidnapping play .
No, I don’t know the whole picture of this plan of Margo-san’s .
「 I see if Minaho-neesan’s observing is like usual, then this plan isn’t possible 」
Minaho-neesan’s mind is tilting towards revenge .
With the reason “I don’t want to see too much,” her observation with my interaction with Agnes has grown dull .
Margo-san executed the plan .
「 Either way, I think that it was great to make Rei-chan the mastermind . Minaho-neesan can’t understand the guiding principle of Rei-chan’s actions now 」
「 I myself don’t understand it either 」
Reika said .
「 That’s fine . It has become an excellent measure 」
Why did Reika do this? Reika herself doesn’t know it so Minaho-neesan will desperately think of it .
That’ll become a linchpin for Minaho-neesan who has only revenge in her mind .
「 Yeah, if it’s not Rei-chan, the plan won’t come into existence . As expected of Margo-san, she made a good selection 」
I honestly think it’s beautiful .
「 Was I useful? 」
Reika looks through the rear-mirror and asks .
「 Yeah, you are! Rei-chan! 」
「 Then I’m glad 」
Reika’s happy .
「 But, if that’s so, Onii-sama’s selection is terrific too 」
Huh, Reika?
「 Other than Shirasaka Yukino-san and Onii-chama took as a hostage, Agnes-chan whose Kuromori-sama has shown her most interest into, Ruriko-sama who’s from Kouzuki house, and even taking Miss Edie! Kuormori-sama will undoubtedly be confused with this combination . 」
L-Let’s reorganize our thoughts .
First, Agnes .
Agnes is out of the mansion so Minaho-neesan will definitely make assumptions .
She’s never been outside before .
Next, Ruriko, taking out the daughter of Kouzuki hose means that Minaho-neesan can’t make rash moves .
If it goes badly and Ruriko got hurt, it would incur Jii-chan’s anger .
Then, Edie .
Usually, I won’t ever take her .
She’s like a bomb . We don’t know what she would do .
「 Yes, I’m also impressed, Onii-sama’s such a courageous person! 」
Ruriko tells me with a smile .
Yeah, true, the participants here are quite dangerous .
In addition to this, Reika who’s mental state is eccentric is here .
Then, on the back, that girl, fainted .
Reika, Agnes, Ruriko, Edie .
And, Yukino .
Can I really take control of this?
「 Onii-sama, what’s wrong? 」
I can’t say that I shiver from being overwhelmed .
「 B-By the way, Onii-chama 」
Reika asks from the driver’s seat .
「 Where should we drive this car? 」
Ah .
「 Did Margo-san give some instructions? 」
I didn’t read the instructions .
「 No, there’s nothing in particular . I was told to follow Onii-chama 」
Then
「 For now, the sea 」
I said .
「 The sea? 」
「 Yeah, there’s this girl who got excited when she thought we are going to the sea 」
I said while looking at the smiling Edie .
If we don’t go to the sea, we don’t know what she will do .
「 Then, it’s better to go to a sandy beach instead of a harbor 」
Reika turns the steering wheel .
