YuYuYui - Ishitsumugi no shou 48

The Great Miroku Family - 1

[Sanshuu Middle School - Rooftop]

Yum: It is with immense emotion that I welcome you to our sorority's 30th tea party.

Hin: It has already been this long.

Suz: I don't care how many times it's been, why's the wind blowing like crazy every time...? Wait, it's because we're on the rooftop!

Yum: I have the honor to announce that on this day, my ancestor, Miroku Renge-sama will be joining as a new member...

Ren: Hmph. As I was just introduced, I am Miroku Renge from within the Mirokus.

Son: A Miroku within the Mirokus is amazing!

SON: It's like a Matryoshka~!

Wak: Quiet you two.

Yum: Ha! How could I have not readied the tea for the tea party... Alfre-

Suz: Let's stop with this gag, okay? And it's cold up here, let's just stop with the tea party.

Yum: How slanderous! Ancestor-sama being one of us symbolizes a step towards the Miroku's family restora-....

Suz: Okay I get it, you're the best. Long live the Miroku family.

Yum: Giiih! You are not part of our sorority, Suzume-san! I ask of you to abstain from perpetually interrupting me!

SON: Is it the best!?

Son: Yes it is♪

Tou: Sonocchi, don't make fun of her!

Sum: Exactly! Family restoration is an admirable goal. Tougou-san and I are sincerely supporting you!

Yum: Aah, Tougou-san, Washio-san! You are perfectly capable of understanding and having faith in the romanticism of nobility.

Wak: Yes. Having a goal is a wonderful thing.

Ren: Miroku finds pride in having a descendant such as her.

Yum: Much obliged! Did you hear that, Suzume-san? My support rate is rising splendidly♪

Suz: Well okay but you always talk about restoration without actually acting on it.

Suz: We don't even know what was the state of the Miroku family, let alone its restoration, right?

Hin: I have to agree.

Wak: Now that you mention it...

Yum: Kwah! My support rate is dropping!

SON: Miro~, you're not gonna throw her a lifeboat to latch onto~?

Ren: Hmph, foolish question. Were Miroku to dispatch a boat, it would be none other than the luxury cruise ship Titanic.

Suz: That one sank!

Ren: In other words, the ruined Miroku family shall be restored by Miroku's hand. In this world!

Yum: I-It isn't ruined!

Hin: But if I remember correctly... The Miroku family's decline began after Renge-san's era...

Wak: So rebuilding the family she demolished herself...

Sum: That would be incredibly heroic!

Tou: You're right Sumi-chan. Clean the stain you left yourself. That is the peak of Bushido!

Ren: Come, Yumiko. Miroku will show her descendant the dawn of Japan.

Yum: Surely, ancestor-sama! I, Miroku Yumiko will follow you to the ends of the world♪

Suz: Haa~... Just these two being together is troubled waters. The ship's gotta have a hard time getting anywhere.


The Great Miroku Family - 2

[Hero Club room]

Uta: House remake, huh. Although, does it have a point to rebuild it in this world?

Fuu: Nobody's rebuilding a house here! But well, I get where you're coming from...

Kar: Yeah. This isn't reality, once we go back it'll have been all for nothing.

Its: It's more effort than it's worth...  What a shame.

Ren: That is incorrect. As long as we flaunt our actions to Shinju-sama, there will be no issue.

Aya: Flaunt to... S-Shinju-sama!?

Ren: Precisely. The efforts of the ancestor and descendant of the Mirokus will be rewarded by the retaining of social status in the real world.

Yum: An innovative idea! As one would expect of ancestor-sama♪

Shi: I wonder why... Since Renge came, Miroku is becoming less and less interesting...

Mit: But you said a reward... I don't think anyone else would get one...

Meb: What does it say about you as Heroes if you're working towards a reward...?

Anz: I think your mind is already corrupted enough if you're being this manipulative...

Tam: Yeah. We're Heroes who fight for peace without asking for a reward after all.

Gin: Ooh! That's so cool, Tamako-san! I was thinking the same!

Ren: In that case, must any of you have an idea for family restoration, speak up. Starting from Yuuki.

Yuu: Me!? Uuh... Uuuuuh... Buy land and make your house bigger!

Ren: Hmph...... Accepted.

Suz: Eeeeeeeeh!? Where would you get the money for that!?

Ren: Next, Natsume.

Nat: ......Hire many Alfreds.

Yum: Eh... Many Alfreds???

Ren: Hmph...... Accepted.

Suz: I don't get it!

Chi: You're buying a group of servants. It's going to cost you money...

Tak: Aah... Your house feels bigger with servants inside.

Yum: I will not falter! I, Miroku Yumiko! Will work without regards for my body towards our goal!

Suz: You lost sight of the rich lady part! Ah... I can't. I reached my limit. Tsukkomi replacement...

Sek: Hey! Don't give away the responsibility like that! I can't keep up with bokes of this level!

Uta: Even though I come from the Christian Era, I don't know about the Miroku family. Do they actually have servants?

Ren: .........Indeed.

Tou: Renge-san, please answer honestly. This question will greatly influence all future choices.

Sum: That's right. If there wasn't, it would be for the better to change our approach.

Ren: Hmph... There was!

Suz: She's lying with a straight face.

Yum: Suuuzuuumeeee-saaaaan! Eh, there were!? Genuinely!?

Ren: Naturally. Proof be Miroku's two sworn friends.

Kir/Aka: Eh...

Sek: Cut this out~~!

Suz: Sekka-san!? That's too sloppy of a rebuttal!

Sek: Eeh, but... if I have to retort to everything, I'll die from overwork... Haa.


The Great Miroku Family - 3

[Hero Club room]

Yum: Aah! I knew the Miroku family formerly employed genuine servants!

Gin: You said... genuine, but in this setting, are you sure this is coherent...?

Suz: M-More importantly, we have to make sure it's true!

Shi: Did the Miroku family have servants...?

Aka: Well... Yeah. There were.

Kir: There were, no doubt 'bout it.

Meb: What!?

Yum: Mebuki-san...?

Meb: Ah... Ahem! S-Sorry. Please continue...

Aka: Uuh, there was Shino-san the maid. The butler Katsujirou-san... was it?

Ren: Indeed. Proceed...

Kir: Uuh, Fumi-san the nurse and Tatsuan the gardener?

Ren: Indeed, precisely.

Aya: Amazing! You employed so many people♪

Wak: I see. You two sure are knowledgeable about the Miroku family.

Kir: Well, yeah, me and Akana went to Rokku's place.

Gin/Suz/Sek: Reallyyyyy!?

Yum: Aah! Aah! Do recount me! The luxurious everyday life of the former Miroku family!

[Miroku house (Past)]

Aka: Thanks for having us. Renchi, are you here?

Maid Shino: Welcome. We were expecting your arrival.

Kir: Woah~, that's huge... I was seriously underestimatin' it.

Butler Katsujirou: Kindly accept this tea, between uji-cha and houji-cha, which do you prefer?

Tou: How wonderful, Renge-san! Rather than other tea or coffee, you serve nothing but Japanese tea!

Fuu: Tougou! Don't interrupt flashbacks!

Ren: Welcome to the Miroku mansion. Make yourselves at home. Please, greetings.

Nurse Fumi: I am the nurse, my name is Fumi. Please get along with Renge-sama.

Gardener Tatsu: I'm Tatsu, the gardener. Please take care of the lady!

Kir/Aka: S-Sure...

Ren: Others include, Goda the driver, Hirose the cook, Sawanobori the gatekeeper...

Driver Goda: Goda is my name. I obtained an A type license.

Cook Hirose: I'm Hirose the cook. My best dish is the seasonal takikomi gohan.

Aka: I-It's okay! Stop this, Renchi. We don't need this... Please.

Kir: Yeah... We won't remember. And it's kinda... too much.

Ren: Hmph. It is... Haa haa. Nothing out of the ordinary... Haa haa.

Mit: Fweeh... That's a lot. I was honestly shocked.

Uta: Right. Being tired from introductions is quite something!

Suz: Wait... Wasn't something weird about this flashback...?

Kar: Flashbacks are generally weird... It's best not to do them as much as possible.

Yum: Such were the glorious days of the Miroku family. That is the ultimate goal I strive to attain!

Sum/Tou: Miroku-san, you can do it!


The Great Miroku Family - 4

[Hero Club room]

Shi: But if this story is the truth... It's a problem. How will you reach this level again?

Suz: Well yeah. Seeing what Miroku-san's house is right now, it would feel like a can of sardines with this big family.

Yum: What wild delusion is this!? You should consider watching less Wednesday specials, Suzume-san!

Ren: Allow the little sparrow to chirp as she pleases. However, Miroku has an announcement to make!

Ren: We have fallen from grace, nevertheless, upon conclusion of the war against the neutral god!

Yuu/Meb/Tam: Yes!?

Ren: The descendant of the Miroku family in Yumiko will move to the Nogi family's great mansion!!

SON/Son: WWWWW-What do you mean!?

Anz: DDDD-Do I have to take from this that Miroku-san will marry Sonoko-sensei!? Kyaah♪

Wak: What did you say!? I will not let you, Sonokoooooo!!

SON: I'm being scolded!?

Aka: Hey... Are you sure we should stay quiet?

Kir: Why not? There were servants, that's the truth.

Aka: But all the ones she introduced to us... were actually Renchi's teddy bears.

Kir: Guess so... I got off-putted as well when Rokku voiced them...

Kir: Those bears had vintage value, it's not that strange that they could speak.

Aka: Of course it is! But... Haa. Let's never touch on that story again.

Kir: Right. We wouldn't want the Taisha to get involved into family matters, stayin' quiet is the smart move.

Ren: Hm... Marrying into the Nogi family is a fair idea. Yumiko, are you ready?

Yum: RRRR-Ready!? What sort of preparations do I need!?

Son: Po...

Anz: Byoooooooooo♪

Nat: ...Congratulations.

Wak: Sonokooooooooo!!

SON: I haven't said anything!!

Sum: Tougou-san, what should we do!?

Tou: U-Uuum... Koori-san, what do you think?

Chi: Asking for my advice is proof that your psychology is a complete mystery.

Suz: Jeez~~! It's always the same punchline when it revolves around Miroku-san~~!

Fuu: Itsuki... Let's have takikomi gohan tonight.

Uta/Aya/Mit: ...Eh?

Its: Onee-chan! Is that all you thought about since she talked about the cook!?

Sek: You know... I can't have enough of the Divine era's mood... I love it. I love chaos...

Kar: Stop staring into empty space!!

Ren: To the Miroku family's revival in the Divine era! Now, sing everyone!

Gin: Yaay! The Miroku family is the best! I love this!

Yuu/Tam: Me too, me too/Tama too, Tama too!

Yum: Waaah, it's too late now! Is the Miroku family the greatest!?

Gin/Yuu/Tam: It's the greatest♪

Ren/Yum: Long live the Miroku family!
