Chapter 445

Pure Love x Insult Complex Chapter 445 . KOYANAGI

The van we’re riding drives through the sunny May city .
Agnes clings to me, looking out the window timidly .
Everything is a first-time sight for her .
On the other hand, Edie’s looking out of the window in a cheerful mood .
If she were a dog, her tail would be swaying left to right in a good mood .

「 Even though she came to Japan, she wasn’t here to sightsee at all so seeing the city like this is fascinating she said 」

Ruriko translates what Edie said .
Miss Cordelia didn’t take Edie to Japan to have a tour .
Well, Miss Cordelia’s been tense until the end of the fight in the hotel .
There was no time for it, I guess?
In the first place, this battle girl with brown skin, blue eyes and brown hair is very unpredictable unless you watch her over .

「 Edie-san seems to be interested in vending machines 」

Ruriko said .
I see she’s looking at coffee and beer vending machines .

「 Huh, don’t the US have drink vending machines too? 」

I asked in surprise .

「 It seems unlikely outdoors . Japan’s the only country that has vending machines all over the road 」

Reika speaks from the driver’s seat .

「 Is that so? 」
「 Yes, if there’s an automatic vending machine outdoors, it’ll be broken and have their money stolen from it 」
「 I see 」
「 Besides, selling alcohol is very strict in America . Selling alcohol in outdoor vending machines like that is impossible」
「 Is that so? 」
「 Yes . In the US, you’re arrested for just holding a bottle of liquor exposed outside . You must at least put it in a paper bag so it won’t be seen 」

Reika speaks .

「 Before, there were a couple of men and women taking out a small bottle of wine and drank it on the spot in a beach but, that’s not allowed in the US 」
「 You know a lot, Rei-chan 」

I smile at the eyes looking at the rear mirror .

「 No, that’s things I’ve learned from training with Kouzuki security service . We are sometimes sent abroad to guard various VIPs . Learning the difference in laws and culture on a country-by-country basis is trained strictly to us 」

Oh .
Now that she’s driving the car, Reika’s gotten a bit more stable .

「 That’s right . We must avoid getting into trouble due to the difference in customs of the country 」

Ruriko said .
Having Ruriko, the daughter of Kouzuki house in the car;
Reika’s senses are leaning towards being the guard .
Dressed in her usual cross-dress, holding the steering wheel of the car .
She’s in a situation close to her usual work .
Ruriko was a good choice .
If it were Mana, she’d firmly stimulate the Rei-chan .
The adult act of driving and her butting to retreat her to the toddler Reika, her mind’s balance would be even rougher .

「 It’s holidays but, the road’s less crowded than I thought . 」

Reika said .

「 Would the ocean be crowded too? 」
「 I don’t think so . It’s different when there’s an aquarium or tourist facilities; I think that sandy beaches are less famous 」

She answers my question calmly
For the time being, it’s going well

「 Hm, hmmmmmm?! 」

I hear a strange voice from the back of the van .
Haa .
Is she awake?

「 What the hell is this? 」

Yukino shouts as she looks up the ceiling of the van .
Agnes clings to me scared .

「 Shut up Yukino! 」
「 What the hell is this! 」
「 As I said, shut up 」
「 Where is this?! 」
「 Don’t talk! 」
「 Where do you intend to take me?!! 」

Yukino glares at me angrily .

「 The sea 」

Ruriko replied

「 S-Sea?! 」

Yukino opened her eyes wide?

「 Why the sea? 」

Hmm .

「 Edie-san said she wants to see the sea 」

Ruriko said smoothly
Then, Edie turns to Yukino .
She speaks in a low voice .

「 Err, she said You’re noisy, if you make too much noise then I’ll break your neck bones 」

Ruriko translates . Yukino got startled .
She also knows Edie’s power from the fight at the hotel .

「 Anyway, we’re going to the beach . Yukino’s coming too . Or rather, you can’t get off the car now 」

I look at Yukino .

「 Even if you get off this car you have nowhere to go right? 」

Yukino can’t go back to her home .
If she returns to old-man-Ichikawa’s house, she’ll be sent to a mental hospital .

「 I-I do, I have a place to go! 」

Yukino brags .

「 However, I don’t have the money . I have almost no money left form what I borrowed from grandmother’s wallet 」

Borrowed? You stole a thousand yen note .

「 Lend me money! 」

Yukino speaks like it’s obvious .

「 If I do, what would you do? 」
「 For the time being, I will eat . I haven’t eaten anything since last night 」

Ah, it’s just water and the Umaibo .
But, her personality really can’t think of anything happening now .

「 Then, I’ll give you only 3k yen 」
「 Just that? 」
「 That’s a lot of money already . I bought Ruriko for that price 」
「 What are you talking about? 」

Yukino looks at me dumbfoundedly .

「 Onii-sama is right . I was bought for three thousand yen 」

I bought Ruriko from Jii-chan for 3000 yen .

「 Nono, anyway, here’s 3k . I don’t need you though 」

I take out my wallet and pull out a three 1000 yen bills .
I have the money Minaho-neesan gave us before going to the hotel .
I don’t know what’s going to happen later .

「 Here 」

I throw the bills to Yukino .
Yukino hurriedly collects the three 1000 yen bills .

「 Then, stop around here, I want to eat something 」

Really, just how stupid her character is?
Despite all this, she still doesn’t recognize her situation at all .
She just follows her momentary desires .

「 You sure about that? 」
「 Huh, why? 」
「 Shirasaka Yukino’s a celebrity right now, you know? There’s not a lot of people in Japan who don’t know you 」

Yukino gasps .

「 You were in the variety shows during the Golden Week, yesterday Yukino’s a prominent feature there too 」

The television broadcasted Yukino returning to Ichikawa-san, then her words “raped” and “do you intend to rape me too?” left a mystery .
Afterward, Minaho-neesan leaked all of Yukino’s rape videos to the internet .
The people no longer sympathize Yukino .

「 It’s all your fault! I’ll never forgive you! 」

Are her thoughts still looping?

「 No, I don’t care if you don’t but, it’s impossible for you to walk around outside you know? 」

She came to the mansion wearing sunglasses and a mask but;
If she eats outside, she has to remove the mask .

「 Uuuuuuu! 」

No, even if you groan, Yukino .

「 Uhm, Margo-san prepared a disguise-set just in case, but; 」

Reika speaks from the driver’s seat .

「 Huh, is there? 」
「 Yes, there should be three paper bags behind the seat . She mentioned wearing whichever of the three is preferred 」

Is that included in the instructions Margo-san has written?

「 Hah, this? 」

Yukino quickly discovers the bags .
There’s “Tom,” “Jerry,” and “Kon,” written on the paper bags .
Yukino peeks into the bags,
She leaks a big sigh .

「 I’ll take “Tom” 」

Then

「 I’m going to change so don’t look over here! Don’t peek! 」

Err .

「 Onii-sama 」

Ruriko opens up the boiler suit she’s wearing .
Her cute breasts covered with a black micro bikini appears .

「 Yukino-san seems not to like it, so please look at my skin for a while . 」

Ruriko smiles
Next, to her, Edie compares with her breasts .
She lowers the zipper of the boiler suit then opens up her chest .
The sports bra stands out on her brown skin .

「 ……！！！ 」

Edie smile at Ruriko .
Then, she said something .

「 What did she say 」
「 She mentioned, “Ruriko’s a good match” 」

Then, the brown American girl speaks loudly .

「 This is the only one I surpass Michi 」

If Michi heard that you’re half-dead, Edie,

「 Does anyone have a mirror? 」

Yukino said from behind .

「 You’re done changing? 」
「 Huh? Well, for now, 」

I turned to Yukino

「 What’s with that face? 」

Err .

「 I have no choice! These clothes are still human clothing, but the others are different 」

Yukino is wearing a navy blue security guard uniform
But, for some reason, the outfit, sleeves, and even the pants are just seven-length long . Therefore, her arms and knees are exposed .
Also, she’s wearing an afro wig for some reason .
It’s a huge afro hair that’s like a bird’s nest .
Then, she’s wearing the sunglasses she had last night .
Hmm .
A funny sized security guard uniform + huge afro + sunglasses .
It’s like comedian contestant no matter how you look at it .

「 Well, that’s fine, nobody would think me as Shirasaka Yukino . 」

Yukino says as she looks at herself in the rear mirror .
True, you’re undoubtedly right .
But this enigmatic positive thinking ability makes me jealous .

「 By the way, what’s inside the other bags? 」

I asked;

「 That, “Jerry” is just a rat’s costume . Are they idiots? It’s not a comedy program so there’s no way I’d dress like that! 」

No, your current look is just the same . Yukino .

「 Kon is just four packs of canned corn . What kind of joke is this? 」

I don’t know either .

「 Margo-san didn’t come up anything other than Tom and Con 」

Reika speaks from the driver’s seat .

「 By the way, why does this not have any shoes?! 」

Yukino speaks in ill-humor .

「 Oh right . I have to buy Agnes’ shoes . 」

I look at Agnes in my arms .

「 Speaking of which, I was curious about her a while ago but, who’s that? A foreigner? 」

Oh, this is Yukino’s first meeting with Agnes .

「 She’s my daughter! 」

Agnes stares at me .

「 Don’t be ridiculous! You’re still in first-year high school! 」
「 I made her my daughter 」

Agnes smiles at me .

「 P-Papaa 」
「 Yes, Agnes? 」

Her small hand holds my arm rightly .

「 Anyway, we’re going to buy shoes before going to the sea 」

I tell Reika .

「 Can we go to a shopping center somewhere? 」
「 No, let’s not go to crowds 」

I think it’s still impossible for Agnes .

「 We can just buy from an average shoe store . Let’s park if you find one 」

◇ ◇ ◇

Reika found a clothes store for workers and artisans instead of a shoe store .
There are no customers since it’s holiday .

「 This is the only shop we can find on national highways with few people . 」

Reika bows her head .

「 We have no choice, let’s check it for now 」

Even this kind of shop should have shoes Agnes can wear .
We’re not buying stylish shoes for now .
Reika parks the car at the work clothes store parking lot .

「 Okay, let’s go 」

We get off the car .
Hm?

「 Yukino, you won’t escape? 」
「 Huh, why? 」

Yukino said while stretching herself .

「 No look 」
「 You were right earlier . I have no place to go 」
「 So that’s why you’re staying with me? 」
「 For now . For now 」

Yukino tells me

「 I have no choice! I don’t know what I should do ahead of this! 」

I leak a sigh .

「 Ichikawa Ojii-sama seems to be hanging up a lot of calls from gravure magazines on whether I want to be exhibiting my naked body . If I wish to be an AV actress, or if I want to appear in strip clubs 」
「 But, you’re just 16, aren’t you? 」
「 Looking at my videos you leaked, some people misunderstood that I’m over 18 years old already 」

Oh .
Some guys just ended up with the videos and never checked with her information .

「 Ichikawa-ojiisama is from an advertising company, so he has contacts in the entertainment industry . They want to dramatize what happened, and they want me to cast as the person herself 」
「 Seriously? 」
「 They’ll faithfully reproduce the rape scenes . Ah, it’s not a TV drama . V Cinema is said to have the project proposal passed already . They’re making a fool of me 」

Yukino snorts her nose .

「 Other than that, they asked me to speak to in television; “Anyway, let’s hold a press conference, and answer clearly who did what to you in front of a camera . That’s the interest of the public” Since it’s from a variety show of Moritsugu-ojiisama’s TV station, they’re laughing 」

A lot happened .
Shirasaka house’s television station overthrown Shirasaka Moritsugu, and they’re going around calling Shirasaka house .
Up until now, there’s only one company that defended Shirasaka Sousuke .
They have no choice but to beat them up to show an image that they’ve outgrown Shirasaka house’s domination .
The source of the problem, Shirasaka Sousuke is still missing .
Therefore, they gathered their attention to Yukino where they know where she stays .

「 After that, a major production of comedian enthusiasts offered me to debut as a lewd high school girl on a variety show and talk nothing but sex . I don’t get it, but they mentioned that I have a talent for comedy 」
「 I think they’re right 」
「 Everyone’s making fun of me 」

No, if you say that now;
You can’t convince anyone, Yukino

「 Those calls keep on coming that Ichikawa-ojiisama has gotten crazy 」

Old man Ichikawa tried to push Yukino to a mental hospital
To think that they were cornered enough that they can’t protect their family honor .

「 Well, fine, anyway, for now, I’m here 」

Yukio who said that then she heads to the store while wearing “W . C . ” slippers she stole from Ichikawa house .

「 Should we go too? 」

◇ ◇ ◇

「 It’s an unusual shop . It smells like rubber 」

Ruriko said

「 Oh, it’s because it’s a clothing store for workers, like carpenters or something . Look, there’s plenty of tools on that wall over there, right? 」

Ruriko looks inside the shop interestingly .

「 Well, Ruriko won’t enter this kind of store 」

Kouzuki house’s daughter won’t go to this kind of shop .

「 In the first place, I’ve never gone to buy clothes or shoes at stores 」
「 Huh? 」
「 I mostly look at the catalog, then the department’s out-of-store sales department bring it 」

Hmm
I don’t exactly know what the out-of-store sales department is .
Anyway, she’s shopping with a different rule from ordinary people .

「 Ah, Onii-sama, this way please 」

Ruriko calls me
Looking at her,
Fortunately, there are little children’s sandals in the store .
It’s not a worker’s clothes shop entirely .
That said, there are only cheap vinyl sandals and four kinds of anime printed beach sandals
Perhaps, a father who buys work clothes might buy a souvenir for their child .
But .

「 No good, it’s too childish, or instead, it’s too small for Agnes 」

Though I’m carrying her in my arms, Agnes is already 12 .
This sandal is too small .

「 Then, those are adult shoes and sandals 」

I face the direction Ruriko told me .
Oh, there’s not just safety shoes, there are also standard exercise shoes .
All of them have a design one step behind than a regular sneaker .
My designated sports shoes in middle school were like this .

「 I think that it’s better to choose sandals instead of shoes 」

Reika said

「 She never wore shoes, and since she’s a half-foreign, so the shape of her shoes is different from the Japanese . I think that a proper shoe fitter must do her first shoes 」

I see .

「 Besides, it’s her first shoes 」

Ruriko smiles at me .

「 In the west, the first shoes of a child is essential 」

I see . Agnes doesn’t have an event like that at all .

「 Then, let’s go with sandals 」

But, work-related sandals are all dull .
Well, I’ve got no choice .

「 Agnes, which do you like 」

I ask Agnes in my arms .

「 ?! 」
「 Agnes, you can decide it . It’s your sandal after all 」

I smile at her .

「 From now on, Agnes will choose anything by herself 」

Agnes looks confused

「 That’s not right, Onii-sama 」

Ruriko?

「 Please don’t speak in that manner, make it easier for Agnes to understand 」

Ruriko picks out sandals from the women’s shelf .
Then, she returns the ones that aren’t good .
The remaining candidates are four sandals .

「 Agnes-san, which do you like among these sandals? 」

Ruriko asks .

「 Which of these sandals do you like to wear? 」

Agnes;

「 That, pink, desuno 」
「 Okay, this one 」

Oh, I see .
If I say choose, she’s forced .
That’s why Ruriko asked Agnes “Which do you like?” and “which do you want to wear . ”
I still have ways to go .

「 Then, I’ll buy this, okay? 」
「 Yes 」

Ruriko picks up the pink sandal instead of me who carry Agnes .
Yeah, though this is a work use, it may be cute if Agnes wears it
Then .

「 ……！！！ 」

She’s holding a yellow basket from the shop, filled with Japanese style design towels, and T-shirts with “鯉の滝登り”1 printed on it
Edie comes close .
Her eyes are glittering .

「 You want that? 」

Edie nods .
Shit, there’s a lot of goods in this shop that flicked this American girl’s heartstrings .

「 No, look 」

I expect that all of this would cost more than 10k yen .
It’s not an amount I can’t pay with my money, but;
While I was hesitating;

《 ＭＩＣＨＩ, ＭＡＮＡ, ＫＡＴＵＫＯ, ＭＥＧＵＭＩ！ 》

Edie points to each towel then names the women that aren’t here .

「 You want to give them souvenirs? 」

Ruriko translates what I said .
Edie nods .
If that’s the case, then I don’t have a choice .

「 Then, just the towels . No T-shirts . These are for men 」

Edie sighs but she agreed .

「 Also, pick one for Kyouko-san and Miss Cordelia’s group 」

Edie shows a reluctant face .

「 Or rather, if you forget them, you’re going to get punished 」

Edie’s body trembled .
She goes to pick more .

「 I’ll pick for Minaho-neesan 」
「 Yes, Onii-sama 」
「 You choose for Agnes and Rei-chan 」
「 Yes 」
「 Or rather, let’s buy mine too 」

Instead of souvenirs, it’s better to buy for everyone .
We go to the towel corner .
Ah, is this okay?
Then .
Edie comes running again .
Lightly, excitedly .

「 What’s wrong? 」
「 Edie-san mentioned that she found Ninja shoes, so she wants to buy it 」

Ninja shoes?

「 It’s leather soled sandals 」

Reika said .
Oh, right, it definitely looks like ninja shoes .

「 I almost wondered what to do if it’s work tabi 」

Reika felt relieved .
Well, leather-soled sandals are okay

「 Got it . I’ll buy that 」

Edie’s happy

「 Onii-sama, may I talk? 」

Ruriko asks .

「 I want to wear the same shoes as Edie-san 」

Oh, I guess that’s also an excellent way to deepen friendship with Edie .

「 Then, I’ll buy one for me too . Rei-chan too 」

It’s not that expensive .
I will buy not just Agnes’ sandals but also everyone’s goods .
It’s much better .

「 Hey, give me 18k yen 」

Yukino suddenly comes

「 This shop only has that shoes I can put on 」

You

「 Earlier, I gave you 3k yen . Use that to buy your shoes 」

I reject with all my soul

「 I can’t walk with decent shoes with that! 」

Say that when you wear a decent dress .
