「 Today, Maki joined the family 」

I speak to the women gathered in the mansion’s hall.

I stand before everyone and first reintroduced Maki

Maki and her sister, Miki-san, and Izumi, came to our school during the high-school festival today.

By evening, Agnes and the girls welcomed them to the mansion.

Even so, many of the girls in the family haven’t met her before.

Although, they surely saw what was going on in the bakery when they were talking to me in the cafeteria on the security camera footage.

I’m sure they peeked from another room when Agnes was talking to them.

I’m sure they know that I went to the hotel for the Matsumoto sisters.

I’m sure most of the women already know their faces names, and identities.

「 I’m Matsumoto Maki, Pleased to meet you all 」

Maki’s nervous in front of the beautiful woman.

「 Maki’s my woman now, but she’s also Marika’s lover 」

「 That’s right. Kou-kun and Minaho-san gave their permission 」

Marika;

Maki clutches the leash extending from Izumi’s collar, and Marika holds Maki’s hand.

The two of them are getting together…

「 Did you have sex with Papa? 」

Agnes asks.

To Agnes, that’s an important point that defines whether or not she’s family.

We need to correct that mindset with this opportunity.

「 Yeah, I already had sex with Maki 」

「 Kou-kun filled up Maki’s stomach with his semen 」

Marika added…

「 Did you have sex with the other girl too? 」

Agnes looks at Matsumoto Miki-san.

Agnes did her best to welcome the Matsumoto sisters to the family earlier.

Also, she knows that Marika wants the sisters to join the family. Agnes also has a girl in school who wants to join the family.

She wants to help Marika because she feels the same way.

So, she’s probably wondering about Miki, the little sister.

「 Not yet, I haven’t had sex with Miki-san yet 」

「 Why? 」

「 I already went through a lot today, so I’ll have to hold it off for tomorrow. That’s already scheduled 」

Miki-san has a complicated look on her face after I declared such.

Even so, she can’t do anything to deny what I say. Nor say “I don’t get it,” or “I didn’t agree to this.”

Miki-san knows that the mood doesn’t allow it.

On the contrary, she’s observing our family, trying to learn about our family.

She’s puzzled by the different atmosphere and impression from when she came to the mansion earlier this evening when she interacted with Ruriko, Mariko, and others at the hotel

Our family members aren’t all just young ladies.

Some are commoners like Megu, others like Eri and Rie grew up in Yakuza families, the lowest of the society, and some are even international criminals, like Anya.

She guessed from the array of women that our family was much more complicated than I had imagined.

She feels that she should just shut up for now and see what this group is really about.

Miki-san thinks that way.

On the other hand, Igarashi Izumi.

The fact that she’s exposed to the gaze of the woman is enough to occupy her mind that it makes her shiver.

“Why am I the only one naked?” Is the confusion inside Izumi’s head.

Izumi can’t observe each one of the women. She can’t think.

You can tell that because she isn’t even aware of Shirasaka Yukino’s presence.

Yukino’s been a celebrity since six months ago, after her scandalous events, and she’s continuously appeared on an unsponsored TV show.

If Izumi was someone normal, she’d be screaming at Maki that “Shirasaka Yukino’s here!” and make a fuss.

She hasn’t noticed her. She just looked down, silent.

At the same time, she hasn’t noticed Mitama, Kinuka, or Rei-chan either.

They’re now celebrities on TV, but they’re also my women.

On the other hand, Maki-san noticed them…

She’s noticed, but she’s just silent, observing.

Izumi and Maki-san’s attention is completely different.

「 Also, I had sex with Izumi 」

I bring the naked Izumi to the front.

「 Is she a member of the family too? 」

Agnes looks at me curiously.

Earlier, Agnes only gave Izumi a cold shoulder because she saw me doing the same, so she thought that she was not a family member.

For now, Agnes thinks that having sex means that they’ll join the family, so she’s surprised that I had sex with Izumi.

But…

「 No, Izumi’s not a family member. Izumi is Marika and Maki’s pet. Izumi, greet them 」

I urged her, and Izumi continues to look down.

「 I-I-I’m Igarashi Izumi, I-I’ve been t-taken as a p-pet by Maki-oneesama and Marika-oneesama… 」

「 Where’s your “pleased to meet you”? 」

「 P-Pleased to meet you all 」

Izumi bows.

「 Papa, what’s the difference between pets and family? 」

Agnes looks at me curiously.

Yeah, I was waiting for that.

「 Agnes, what would you do when a sister from your family tells you to do something 」

I throw in a question.

「 Agnes will do as she says 」

「 And why will you? 」

「 That’s because Onee-san thought of Agnes, and so she told Agnes to do that, and so that’s what Agnes should do 」

Agnes replies clearly.

Agnes has absolute trust in the family.

「 Indeed. Agnes does what the family tells her to do. Everyone thinks about Agnes, and they worry about you 」

The other family members also listen to our conversation.

Anya and Edie translate for the girl assassins.

「 But, you don’t just fix what they warned you about, Agnes also should think about why were you warned about it, and how should you fix it. That way, you can fix the bad parts about yourself, and you won’t need the sisters to warn you about it 」

「 That’s right! 」

Agnes replies brightly.

「 And so, for Izumi… 」

Agnes turns her attention to Izumi.

「 She’s not family. She’s Marika and Maki’s pet, but Izumi will come to the mansion from now on, she likes to talk, so I’m sure that she’ll have the opportunity to warn Agnes to do something better… 」

Since it’s Izumi, she’d feel at ease when talking to someone younger.

「 But, Agnes shouldn’t do what Izumi says. Izumi’s opinion has to be ignored 」

「 Okay, Papa. But… 」

Agnes;

「 Why do I have to ignore what she says 」

That’s…

「 Our family always looks out for each other, and we always think long and hard about how to best speak to Agnes before speaking 」

「 That’s right, everyone does that 」

Agnes nods.

「 But, in Izumi’s case, she doesn’t know Agnes that well, and she’ll just speak about whatever she happens to see and think at that time, without thinking about how Agnes will take it, and without putting her thoughts in order. She’s that kind of girl 」

I look at Izumi.

「 She’s too honest about her desires, so she speaks with the same vigor with what comes to her head. She does it to release her emotions. So, her opinions aren’t good at all, and she just speaks from a one-sided point of view 」

Izumi always takes priority on what she wants to do, and what she wants to happen.

That’s why she forcibly came with Maki.

She put on a delinquent look on a whim, trying to pressure me.

The makeup and leather jacket had no effect on me, but she just did that without thinking.

She hasn’t even considered what kind of person the other party is.

She doesn’t care about how others perceive her actions.

She’s too self-centered and has too little consideration for others.

「 Agnes, what’s the most important thing in our family? 」

「 Everyone gets along 」

Agnes replies.

「 Yes. Our family is different from each other, we all lived in different environments. Even the country of origin is different. Therefore, it’s important to make an effort to understand each other. We don’t have time to fight 」

「 Those who can’t get along get kicked out of the family 」

Agnes trembles.

To her, being kicked out of the family is much more fearsome than being killed.

「 But, there hasn’t been a single person kicked out of the family, because we don’t let anyone who can’t get along join the family 」

Even Eri and Rie, who are popular with their sharp tongues on TV, don’t speak ill of the family.

The twins grew up in terrible environments in Kansai, so they have a lot to say about those who were born with good circumstances.

But, they won’t say anything that’ll hurt the other girls, even as a joke.

The twins are smart enough to know that.

Doing that will only break their bond with the family, and will do nothing good for them, or the family.

On the contrary, the young ladies must’ve been confused that girls like Eri and Rie, daughters of Kansai Yakuza, joined the family.

But, they never show it to their face, and they never speak of it.

「 For everyone in the family to get along, then you have to hold off your emotions at that moment and try to understand them first. Take your time to observe them, think of what you can do for them, and even when you give enough attention, you still choose your words carefully so you don’t hurt or embarrass them 」

That’s why we can stay here as a family, even though we’re mostly strangers.

「 But, Izumi can’t do that. She’s a problem child 」

That’s why she’s seen as a bit of a dumb girl.

「 I see. Darling’s talking about her intelligence 」

Edie said.

「 This is no longer a matter of manners, it’s about their intelligence now 」

Intelligence.

「 That’s why Izumi’s a pet, not family. Izumi will be staying at the mansion with Marika and Maki and will have sex with me, but she’s not family that we can gain mutual trust 」

I tell everyone in the family.

「 If so, how should Agnes treat her? 」

Agnes asks me with a confused face.

「 All you have to do with pets is dote on them. Look at her, isn’t she cute? Whatever Izumi says, whatever she does, just think of it as cute. You can pat her from time to time if you want 」

I then patted Izumi’s hair.

「 Uuuu 」

Izumi doesn’t seem to like it but that gesture just looks like it’s cute as a pet.

「 Izumi’s necessary to Marika and Maki as a pet so they could continue their school life from now on. Minaho-neesan and I gave permission to keep Izumi as a pet, but…

I face my woman and said.

「 Of course, if Izumi’s presence becomes a problem to the family, then she has to be punished, and if there’s no other way, she’s expelled from the mansion, I promise you that 」

Then, to Maki and Marika.

「 Izumi’s owners, Marika and Miki will take responsibility as well. Marika and Maki, you have to keep watch of your pet at all times to make sure she doesn’t cause trouble to the other girls, and if she misbehaves, punish her immediately. Got it? 」

「 Yes, Kou-kun 」

「 I understand, Kou-kun 」

After replying, Marika then speaks to everyone.

「 I’m sorry for getting myself a pet without talking to everyone first. Please forgive me 」

「 I’m sorry 」

「 But, we want Izumi. I believe that Izumi’s cute. So please, give her a chance. Maki and I will look after her, and we’ll make sure that she doesn’t cause trouble for everyone. Therefore… 」

「 Please treat her well 」

The two bowed their heads.

But, Izumi’s just standing there, confused at what the two were doing.

「 Marika, Maki. Make Izumi bow her head too 」

I told, and the two looked up…

「 Izumi, you should bow your head too 」

「 Silly girl, you should know what to do 」

Seeing her owners get angry, Izumi;

「 Ah, yes….Maki-oneesama, Marika-oneesama!! 」

「 Just bow your head already 」

「 Okay!!! 」

Look, she is slow…

Marika and Maki were already bowing their heads, yet…

She just had a sudden idea and prostrated herself in front of everyone.

If we’re talking about the results, then that’s the right answer, but she didn’t act because she thought of the mood.

She just came up with the idea and went to act without thinking about it.

I…

「 Marika and Maki are keeping their pets now, but I’m sure that some in this room think that they want to keep one too. Of course, I gave Marika and Maki permission, and neither Minaho-neesan nor I am against it 」

Misuzu wanted to keep a pet before.

「 However, think before getting one. Be sure to check if that pet won’t cause trouble for the family. This isn’t an animal pet, keeping a human as a pet is much tougher

I reminded them firmly.

「 If you are confident that you can take responsibility for your pet, then you can talk to Minaho-neesan or me 」

Then…

「 It’s okay for not just one, but two or more to keep a pet, like Jasmine-chan and Maki-chan did, right 」

Mariko asks.

「 Yes 」

There’s already an example, so I can’t deny it.

「 Also, just in case… I think this is a given, but I just want it to be clear… 」

Mariko stood up.

「 Pets can only be girls, men are out of the question, and if we want to make a woman older than us as our pet, then it’ll only trouble Kou, so only those younger than yourself. Of course, it’s a given, but if we’re keeping a pet to dote on them, then it has to be a cute girl. If possible, get someone smart. Also, all of the pets are required to have sex with Kou. Kou has the right to have sex with pets anytime and anywhere…that’s how it works, right? We all belong to Kou, so he also has rights to our pets 」

She suggests.

「 Let’s make a vote, only those who already had sex with Kou can vote. Now, those who are in favor of the current agenda on pets, raise your hand 」

Most of the girls who had sex with me raised their hands.

Only Yukino didn’t.

「 Okay, that’s the majority vote. Does anyone else have questions? 」

Mariko asks, Agnes raised her hand.

「 What is it, Agnes? 」

I asked.

「 Uhm, just maybe… 」

Hmmm.

「 Yukino-chan isn’t family, but is it actually Papa’s pet? 」

That’s…

「 Pfft! What the?! That’s funny 」

Yukino laughed at what Agnes said.

「 I mean, Yukino-chan’s the only one in the family who doesn’t help out with the housework, and all she does is complain to Papa 」

True, Yukino doesn’t help with housework, and she always calls me “idiot”

「 Also, Papa dotes on Yukino-chan a lot…so… 」

I dote on Yukino?

「 So, is Yukino-chan Papa’s pet? 」

Yukino bursts out laughing.

「 Hahaha, I might be indeed his pet. Now you say it like that, I agree 」

I…

「 No, Agnes, Yukino’s not a pet 」

Yukino’s my…

「 I believe in Yukino as family 」

Saying that I noticed it for the first time.

「 Let’s say for example that there was an attack, we were in trouble, and if I had to entrust Agnes to someone and get out of the place first… 」

Agnes and Yukino looked at me. The other girls too…

「 In that situation, I’m sure that I can leave Agnes to Yukino’s care. I trust Yukino that much 」

Then.

「 I also trust Yukino as family 」

Megu turned to Yukino and said.

「 Mana also trusts Onee-chan as family. Not the old Onee-chan, but Yukino-oneechan nowadays

Mana said.

「 Okay, let’s do a vote for that too, those who trust Yukino-chan as family, raise your hand 」

Mariko said. My women raised their hands one after another.

「 What about you Agnes, what do you think of Yukino? 」

Agnes…

「 Yukino-chan is Agnes’ family too! 」

「 Okay, it seems that we reached a unanimous vote, Shirasaka Yukino-san’s certified as a family

As soon as Marika said that…

「 Eeeeeeh?!?!?!?!? Why is Shirasaka Yukino here?!

Izumi, too late to ask that

「 Izumi, quiet 」

「 Quiet 」

Marika and Maki silenced Izumi.

Good, I think it’s time.

「 Edie, bring Clito here 」

I asked Edie.

Clito’s the problem child among the thirteen girl assassins.

Earlier this evening, she caused a commotion when she tried to take Matsumoto Miki-san’s violin without permission.

「 Here 」

Edie took Clito in front of me.

Earlier, I just punished her by spanking her ass, so she’s timid.

「 Edie, translate 」

「 Okay 」

I held the two collars I got from Minaho-neesan so everyone could see them.

「 Clito, you kept causing problems, I’m demoting you to my pet now 」

Edie translates what I say for Clito.

Clito knows what it means to be a pet as Edie and Anya were translating our conversation earlier.

「 You’re now a pet, don’t cause any more trouble to others. Got it? 」

I said, then I put on the collar to Clito’s neck.

Clito’s looking at me with a confused face.

She’s not resisting, she just lets the collar attached to her.

「 I’ll be doting on you, and so think of only how I will find you adorable. Don’t think of anything else. You’re going to be my pet for the rest of your life 」

Kyouko-san did say that Clito’s just timid.

She doesn’t know what’s going to happen to her in the future, so she’s desperate, trying to show off her abilities to me, and failed.

Kyouko-san said that it’s better to make the relationship easier to understand.

The collar is an easy-to-understand symbol that she’s become my pet.

Clito will probably calm down after gaining that understanding.

「 Do you understand, Clito? 」

I said. Edie translates…

The Persian green-eyed beauty…

「 Oui 」

She replied.

The girl assassins speak terrible French.

She meant “Yes.”

「 Good, now become cute. Get adorable 」

I pat Clito’s head.

Then…

I faced the remaining 12 girl assassins.

「 I have another collar, is there anyone among you who wants to be my pet since it’s too much trouble, then I can take one of you as a pet 」

I hold up the last collar and show it to them.

Anya translates it for me with a loud voice.

「 ……!!!!!!!! 」

The girl assassins…
