Kono S wo Mi Yo! Chapter 76

Page 01

Usuda-sama,
excuse me for the late disturbance.
.....Hah
Yes,
Yes.
Stigma 76: A cruel choice

Page 02

...I understand.
I'll come right away.
You're going?
....
Damn~~~
Something I dropped was delivered at the front desk.
I'll go get it real quick.
R- Right now?
It's my seal after all.
Eh? And your bank book?

Page 03

....
That's still here. // Maybe I left the zipper open...
It's our important money.
...
That's no good, be more careful.
I'll be right back.
Wait for me.
It's already late,
I might fall asleep.
Eh?

Page 04

Just kidding. // I'll wait for you.
So be quick.
Yeah.
I'll hurry.

Page 06

Ootori-san...
It's obvious that I know at least which meeting my fiancé attends.

Page 07

Her cell phone is turned off.
And I couldn't connect to the cell of her friend, who's staying in the same room. // It isn't all that weird for me being worried, right?
....
He...
He tries to appear calm,
but it's so obvious that he's pissed!!

Page 08

I told you, didn't I? That Chizu-chan would rather choose me than you!
....
Y- You'll let me see Chizuru.
I have to talk to her.
No need to!
Chizu-chan chose me!!
And Chizu-chan's grandma won't be a hostage anymore either.
!
I prepared the money!
We'll transfer her grandma to another hospital!!

Page 09

!
He's
totally panicked!
Someone who tries to rule over people's emotion with money...!
I have saved up 3 million yen so far.
I'll give that all to Chizu-chan.
But it's not like I bought her love with that money!
She chose me regardless of that...
...!

Page 10

Wh- What?
....
Kukukuku
What's so funny!?
No,
excuse me.

Page 11

Just like you said, Chizuru loves you.
!?
It's frustrating, but I'll admit to it.
Chizuru decided to become my wife in exchange for treating her grandma's illness, including all the costs.
That's just as frustrating, but I'll also admit to it.
"Balo disease"
Huh?

Page 12

A borderline form of multiple sclerosis.
The texture of the white matter of the cerebrum suddenly degenerates and causes various neuropathy. It's an disease with unknown cause...
!
That's the illness Chizuru's grandma has.
It causes impaired consciousness, mental handicap, lalopathy, motor paralysis, walking impairment and such. And in radical progressed state, a third of the patients die after a few months.
D-
Die...
To avoid a resurfacing of the illness, she was given steroids, blood plasma substitution and immunosuppressant....
And she has to be injected with an expensive drug that's still not admitted in the country 1-2 per week.
S- So what!
You thought you could frighten me with all these difficult terms? [Well, on me it worked-.-]
...
What I want to say is...

Page 13

If you use all your money to move her to a different hospital and get her treated there,
she will have about 3 months.
Just
3 months----
Love, huh...

Page 14

You gave the woman you love
the idea that "It's okay to let a relative die".
Her precious grandma desperately continued to support her through university so that she could become a doctor, after her father died.
And you made Chizuru abandon that grandma.

Page 15

Love sure can be cruel!
No way...
No way...
You're kidding me...
There's no way Chizu-chan would...
But if he's telling the truth,
Chizu-chan accepted me with the determination to abandon her grandma....?
No.
To begin with, Chizuru was acting strange today after she accepted me----!

Page 16

I thought she had accepted me,
But Chizu-chan....
don't tell me....
Don't tell me tonight was just----
That can't be----!!

Page 17

But
Uh
That's not something you need to worry about---
----
Chizuru is an adult.
She isn't stupid.
....
....
I guess, Chizuru was...

Page 18

just going to make a one night memory with you tonight.
!!
So that she could forget everything and become my wife---
