Pure love ✕ Insult Complex - Chapter 535

Chapter 535

「 We’re ready, Danna-sama! 」

Misuzu’s back .

「 It’s perfect! Onii-sama! 」

Ruriko too .

The two sits down on the sofa .

They’re sticking to me tightly .

「 The two of them are very beautiful! 」

Agnes also comes back trotting .

She sits down on the floor near my feet .

She leans her weight on me .

「 Mana-san, come this way 」

Ruriko calls Mana .

「 Ah, right 」

Mana sits next to Ruriko .

She seems to be holding back a bit because she was alone with me earlier .

「 Now then, Ladies and Gentlemen, and, Fathers and Mothers! Our ‘fashion showdown’ is about to begin 」

Katsuko-nee appears from the kitchen with a microphone, acting as a moderator .

「 Now then, our first contestant, Michi-chan’s coming in! 」

The door opens and shows the embarrassed Michi .

「 W-What do you think, Master? 」

Michi’s wearing a dress yet she’s standing with a daunting pose .

「 Ah, yeah 」

It’s a cute party dress, sleeveless with lots of frills and ribbons .

It’s based on white, and a thin pastel blue colored fabric is used .

Her skirt is above the knee, it’s short that it’s barely called miniskirt .

You can see Michi’s slender legs .

She’s wearing white shoes on her feet .

「 I-It’s my first time wearing such a dress in my life 」

She tells me while blushing .

「 Yes, that’s very cute . That hairstyle suits you too 」

Michi’s hair is beautifully tied up in her back .

Oh, there’s a different impression when her forehead’s showing .

The choker has the same color as her dress, but it has a lovely accent, complementing Michi’s beautiful face .

「 Michi’s face is gorgeous 」

Letting her grow for a few more years and she’ll become a surprising beauty .

「 T-That’s not true 」

Michi’s being humble .

「 Danna-sama seems to like it 」

Misuzu smiles at Michi .

「 Look, it was the right choice to go for that dress 」

Then, she faces me .

「 Michi-pon was searching for only plain black dresses in the shop 」

Black?

「 Huh, you want Goth Loli? 」

Michi, do you have that hobby?

「 No . If it were gothic lolita, then it would’ve been better . Michi-pon came brought uninteresting and straightforward designs as if she was going to a funeral 」

Michi .

「 Since we’re going to buy her a dress, I thought of clothes that can be used for ceremonial occasions 」

No, well .

Michi’s always wearing her uniform no matter what .

「 I can’t wear dresses that would stand out more than Misuzu-oneesama and Ruriruri 」

「 You don’t have to worry about that Michi-pon . In the end, look, you’re wearing a different line of dress from ours, so it’s okay 」

Misuzu said .

Different line? What does that mean?

「 Ruriko and I persuaded her that “such plain dress won’t attract Danna-sama’s attention” so she ultimately decided on this dress 」

「 Yes, uhm, would you like to do me while I wear this dress, Master? 」

Michi’s sending me an upturned glance .

「 Yeah, of course, later though . Michi’s really beautiful and cute so get more stylish . I’d be glad if you do 」

「 Y-Yes! Certainly! 」

Mana stares at Michi .

「 Hmm, Michi-oneechan, I feel like that resemble some sort of costume 」

Huh?

It looks like a cute party dress for a middle school girl to me though .

「 Ah, I get it! 」

Mana knocks her palm .

「 It’s PreC*re! 」

PreC*re?

「 What’s that? 」

Ruriko asks Mana .

「 No, that’s an anime for ten years old below girls where heroines transform and fight 」

「 What? 」

Ruriko asks in puzzlement .

Oh, Jii-chan didn’t allow Ruriko to watch those anime .

「 Err, what was it again? 」

Mana’s baffled .

「 No, I watched it only during kindergarten, so I don’t remember it that much 」

「 Onii-sama, do you know it? 」

Ruriko asks me .

「 I know the name and some illustrations, and I’ve seen a toy at a friend’s house who has a little sister . Also, I’ve seen pictures of them in bags of sweets in supermarkets . I haven’t watched them on TV however 」

Even if I hear it on TV, it’s just troublesome .

「 Then, so what is the similarity in appearance with me? 」

Michi asks Mana .

「 Err, for some reason, it feels similar 」

I look at it once again .

Hmm . Indeed, it has the air of a struggling heroine .

「 But, we bought a typical dress . It’s not that we chose a dress that resembles from an anime 」

Misuzu also speaks wondering .

Well, yeah .

Misuzu and the gang won’t be going to a cosplay shop .

「 The stance is not good 」

Everyone turns to Katsuko-nee .

「 Ah, I meant that the posture is too good . Michi-chan’s usually taking a stance where she’s ready to fight 」

Ah .

I see . Michi’s stance is strong .

「 Oh, I see now 」

Misuzu agrees .

「 Michi-pon, could you stand a bit more ladylike? 」

「 Ladylike? 」

Michi looks troubled .

「 Uhm, is it that strange? 」

「 It’s not, you look stiff, it’s kind of fresh, a bit cool 」

Katsuko-nee said .

「 Yes, you behave like in PreC*re . 」

It’s all as Mana said .

If it’s the usual uniform, Misuzu’s school uniform has a strong tradition in the look, so Michi’s gallant behavior isn’t strange, but;

If she wears a flashy dress, she looks like a “Transformed Fighting Heroine . ”

「 B-B-B-B-But, I . I! 」

「 Calm down, Michi! 」

I said .

「These kinds of things need mending bit by bit so prepare yourself 」

「 But, when I go to Misuzu-sama in the party, there might be rumors 」

「 There’s nobody who minds that in our family 」

I say it clearly .

「 That’s right, Ruri-tan, Danna-sama or I don’t mind 」

Me?

「 Danna-sama will escort us so stay composed 」

Huh?

I intend to go with Misuzu to the party but .

「 I’m attending the party too? 」

I plan on waiting in the car though .

「 Yes, Shou-oneesama has prepared an invitation letter for Dannas-aam 」

Misuzu says .

「 I’ve prepared your suit already 」

Katsuko-nee?

My suit? Is it the one I wore during the hotel fight that Katsuko-nee fixed, and was from Minaho-neesan’s Grandfather?

「 I’m steadily tailoring the dress for your to wear 」

Katsuko-nee smiles gently .

「 Therefore, wear that and go 」

Is that how it is?

《 Hey! 》

Edie’s voice comes from behind the door .

Ah, no good . We took too much time for Michi .

Ruriko and Misuzu explain to Edie right away .

They must be saying “Sorry to make you wait . ”

「 Okay, then, Edie-chan’s coming in too! 《 Come　IN 》 」

Katsuko-nee said . Edie enters .

Edie’s…

She’s wearing a white summer dress and a broad hat .

Edie’s tensed thighs are completely visible .

Her feet’s wearing a leather sandal .

Edie’s legs are beautiful .

《 darling！ 》

She smiles at me .

Her hand has a golden bracelet . Her legs have a gold chain anklet .

Gold accessories suit Edie’s tanned skin very well .

There’s also a golden necklace on her head .

That necklace strongly emphasizes Edie’s cleavage .

Her plump lip is shining with lip balm .

Oh, she’s .

She’s so sexy .

Furthermore, her sex appeal is like the sun in the early summer .

「 You’re beautiful, Edie 」

「 What? 」

Err .

《 beautiful！ 》

Only those words came out .

Edie laughs .

She thinks I’m joking .

《 You　Are　Beautiful！ 》

I say it once again to Edie while showing a serious look .

Misuzu tells Edie something in English .

「 Onii-chan never lies, she said 」

Mana translates .

Then, Ruriko speaks English too .

「 No matter what Edie-chan thinks, Onii-chan sees Edie as beautiful . So you can accept it honestly . If Edie-chan’s beautiful for Onii-chan then that’s all good 」

Edie shouts WOO! And looks at me .

Then, she points at Michi and said something .

「 Then, who’s much more beautiful, her or Michi-oneechan? She asked 」

Oh right, this was a fashion showdown .

「 Mana, please translate 」

Err .

「 First, Michi’s pretty and cute-beautiful 」

Pre- was the shortened for pretty but I don’t know what cure is .

「 Then, Edie looks sexy-beautiful for me 」

Umu .

「 Both of them have different factors of beauty so I’d like to make a distinction . Both of you are my precious, beloved women 」

Edie’s listening to what I say, translated by Mana .

《 OK 》

Is she convinced with that?

She’s saying something .

「 She’s a fighter, so she’s far from stylish . She thinks of Michi as similar as her 」

Mana translates .

「 Therefore, she feels that the fashion showdown between the two of them was just a show to laugh at them 」

Edie .

「 But, as you confessed my love to her, she thought that it’s okay to accept the plan to laugh at her . She thought that it might be a necessary event on becoming a member of the family to be laughed at 」

Huh?

「 Why? 」

I don’t get it

「 Oh, it’s common in America . Look, when you enter in the baseball team major league, they hide you in a locker of the changing room or let you go home dressed as a female . They do pranks and laugh at you, it’s a custom where they have to laugh at you before everyone recognizes you 」

Katsuko-nee explains .

「 Edie-chan thinks of this as a rite of passage 」

Edie begins talking again .

「 But, when I started changing clothes, there were advises for Michi and her on how to dress up beautifully . I don’t know about myself, but as far as I can see, Michi wears beautiful attire . She said . Therefore, I noticed that this wasn’t a laughingstock event 」

「 Obviously, there’s no one here thinking of that 」

I tell Edie .

「 We’re a family . We help and improve each other, honing with the desire to become better and better 」

Edie nods .

「 Edie’s beautiful . That’s what I think . That’s why I want you to become even more beautiful from now on! 」

Edie .

「 Okay, I’ll do it for you, she said . 」

For me?

「 I don’t care about dressing up for myself, so if you like my looks that much then I’ll do my best, I think . She said 」

Edie .

「 This bra is a bit tight though . 」

Saying that; Edie lifts her chest from above her clothes .

「 It seems that she’s never worn anything but a sports-bra-like bra . 」

Katsuko-nee smiles wryly .

「 Those were the only thing issued for the female fighters in the cult 」

I see .

「 It’s my first time wearing a skirt but Michi’s right, this is good 」

Oh, she understands the merits of a skirt?

「 The ease of hiding and taking out weapons is quite amazing 」

Saying that; Edie suddenly lifts her skirt

「 Hey, Edie! 」

I can see your panty!

The white inverted triangle .

Then .

On her thighs, just right below her panty, there’s a case of black leather on the base of her right leg .

「 I gave her my reserve 」

Michi also lifts her skirt .

Oh, in Michi’s case, there’s black leather weapon case clamped on both legs .

On her right is the red whip .

On her left are small throwing weapons .

「 This case is convenient that you can pull out four shurikens in one action 」

Michi demonstrates .

《 OH! 》

Edie tries it as well . She pulls out a shuriken to her hand .

「 This shuriken uses unique ceramic, so it’s not caught in metal detectors 」

Michi explains the same thing to Edie but in English .

Edie nods while looking at the shuriken .

Both of their panties are exposed .

「 We’re not doing a metal detector, you idiots!! 」

I shouted .

「 Didn’t we say that this is a fashion showdown?!! 」

The two of them look at me blankly .

Their panties are still visible .

◇　◇　◇

「 I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry! 」

Michi desperately bows her head to me .

Edie’s clinging to my back laughing .

「 Err, you girls explained why I’m angry to Edie, right? 」

I ask Misuzu .

「 Yes, I explained it . Edie-san has no delicacy, so Danna-sama got angry made her helplessly happy 」

Happy?

「 Is it because I look at her as a girl? 」

《 darling！ 》

Edie kisses the back of my ears .

「 Besides, it seems that she’s never been scolded seriously ever since her Grandmother passed away 」

Ruriko said

「 Onii-chan’s thinking of his family seriously so she knows why you got angry 」

Mana also smiles .

「 I’m very sorry, I’m very sorry, I’m very sorry 」

「 It’s okay now Michi 」

I tell Michi .

「 Before being a bodyguard, be a good girl . You’re also beautiful and cute 」

「 Yes . Kudou Michi will polish her femininity for Master . I’ll improve myself 」

No, don’t do it for me .

Then, Minaho-neesan and Rei-chan come in .

「 Oh, you two look cute 」

Minaho-neesan says as she looks at the two dressed up girls .

Rei-chan looks lacking in energy .

「 Misuzu-san needs to prepare to move 」

Oh, Misuzu’s going to the party .

「 Misuzu and Ruriko, have you two bought your dresses? 」

I ask .

「 No, we can change our clothes in the hotel party venue 」

They replied laughing .

「 Huh, why? 」

I thought that they’d change clothes in the mansion and go to the hotel .

「 The genuine high-class people do that . They prepare a room at the hotel where the party will commence and use it as their dressing room . If you do that, you can leave your seat while in the middle of the party 」

Katsuko-nee explained .

「 You can do secret discussions with the other guests that come to the party in that dressing room 」

I see .

「 I asked Shou-oneesan to book two rooms . It’s natural for Kouzuki house to reserve one each for Misuzu-san and Ruriko-san 」

Minaho-neesan said .

「 Although, I had the rooms connected inside . Therefore, once you enter the room, you can go back and forth between both rooms 」

That’s helpful .

「 After all, everyone’s going . It’s troublesome if the room isn’t big . We need an alibi 」

Katsuko-nee looks at Minaho-neesan .

「 We have to prove that we’re not involved with Kyouko-san’s action in the Green Mountain Studio 」

「 Yes, that is why Kyouko-san purposely goes around as the enemy of Kouzuki security service 」

Could this mean?

「 When she’s done with her action tonight, she’ll leave to America with Miss Cordelia . There’s a man in Los Angeles they need to kill 」

Oh, It’s the man who gave Miss Cordelia false information so she’d antagonize Kyouko-san .

「 They’d stay outside the country until things cool down . It seems that she has various plans with Miss Cordelia 」

Minaho-neesan said .

「 If they know that Kyouko-san left Japan, the police outside the mansion can relax 」

I see now .

「 Therefore, Kuromori won’t be participating the action tonight . We won’t show in the party, but we’ll be in Misuzu-san’s waiting room in the hotel 」

「 Our positions will be some escort and attendants, clerk or make-up staff 」

Katsuko-nee smiles .

「 I called Nagisa too . She’ll come with Mao-chan 」

Yeah, Nagisa is doing business, so it’s better if she has an alibi .

「 Therefore, could you bring Megumi? 」

Minaho-neesan tells me .

「 Megumi’s supposed to leave the practice early . Katsuko called earlier . We called Megumi and captain Takeshiba to the school staff, and they gave their consent directly 」

Oh, they called as Megu’s relative?

「 The members of the track and field club knows that Shirasaka Sousuke died suddenly, so it’s’ okay 」

Everyone knows that Megu is a distant relative of Shirasaka house .

Because of Shirasaka Sousuke’s sudden death, it won’t be strange if she leaves early .

「 Actually, since this is the end of the holiday, the girls planned to go for karaoke together, but 」

「 Minaho-neesan, isn’t that good enough for Megu’s alibi? 」

If captain Takeshiba testify that they were with Megu then;

「 Geez, think of Megumi’s feelings 」

Minaho-neesan scolds me .

「 She can’t enjoy karaoke because she’s worried about you 」

Oh .

「 She’s convinced that you’ll go with Misuzu-san and Ruriko-san as their escort . As a member of the family, she’d like you to do it while she’s watching 」

Megu’s like that .

「 Yes, we’d like to do it fair-and-square . I’d like Megumi-san to watch 」

Misuzu said, Ruriko nods .

「 That’s how it is, so go pick up Megumi from school . Then, join up with Nagisa and come to the hotel 」

Oh, Nagisa, Margo-san, Nei, and Mao-chan’s coming to pick us up .

They’ll pick us up and go to the hotel .

「 We’ll head to the hotel directly from here 」

Wait .

「 So what about Edie and Agnes? 」

The two of them are secret existences .

Agnes has no family register because she was confined in the basement .

Edie’s brought by Miss Cordelia here with a fake passport .

Furthermore, she didn’t bring the passport she used back then .

「 Ojou-sama, should I stay in the mansion? 」

Katsuko-nee asks .

「 No, you’re a central member of Kuromori . If you don’t show up, they’d think that you’re supporting Kyouko-san 」

Minaho-neesan replied .

「 But we can’t leave Edie and Agnes in the mansion alone 」

Especially, Agnes, I don’t want her to be confined again .

「 What about Morimoto-san? 」

I mention the old man Morimoto’s name who was the clerk of Kuromori, and he lived near the mansion .

「 Morimoto-san and his wife went to see Kabuki . I bought them tickets to have an alibi . We’ve been giving him unreasonable requests lately 」

Morimoto-san’s absent too .

「 I’ll stay 」

Mana said .

「 I’ll stay with the two and watch over the house 」

I .

「 Minaho-neesan, let’s bring everyone 」

I made up my mind .

「 I’m sure that Minaho-neesan’s right about Megu, we can’t leave them . Mana, Edie, and Agnes would like to come and see too . Let’s be fair and square with all 」

I smile at the three .

「 That’s right, Ojou-sama . Think about it carefully, the police already knows these children 」

Katsuko-nee?

「 Just the other day, Agnes went to Ikeda-sensei’s office and ate parfait at the family restaurant after . They were surely watching that 」

Oh, at that time, Edie and Mana were with her too .

「 The police must be tilting their head asking “who was that?” but, as long as there is a connection to the Kouzuki house, they can’t forcibly investigate 」

I-I see .

「 Yeah, in that case then let’s take the two of them too! 」

I said .

「 Or should I say, thinking about it once again 」

Katsuko-nee looks at me .

「 You’re the most unknown to the police, I think! 」

「 Huh? 」

「 Who you are and why you’re with us 」

Oh right!

I .

I’m the only man among this group of women .

「 To the police, you are the biggest mystery, I think 」
