Shirasaka house doesn’t have a merit to attack us directly right now I think.
If they would.then they would quietly send someone to assassinate Minaho-neesan.
There’s no way they would do it by three cars.
Then.if they were people employed by Cesario Viola.what’s the purpose?
.That is
Feint? While attacking upfront with a dangerous group.they would have a separate force attack from another location?
Kudou-papa laughs.
Nice.that possibility is very huge!
Therefore.it’s a first class alert.
Kudou-papa’s subordinates placed around the school are all alarmed.
No.I don’t think that’s the case
Michi speaks up.
Cesario Viola doesn’t have the reserve capacity to put out a separate fighting force.
.Eh?
There are five subordinates coming from US confirmed to be Cesario’s subordinates. Among them, the manager, Lorenzaccio Bandini has no combat capabilities. One of them was taken down the other day. The remaining three.the two of them are Romeo Montague and Guiliano Jenka And the last one is Cesario Viola himself
There’s no confirmation however.
Cesario Viola is fluent in Japanese but the other two can only speak English. I think it’s impossible for the two to take leadership in Japan
True.it’s hard to find a person who can communicate in English and sneak into the enemy territory together.
How about the possibility of Viola himself making a business trip? Since he’s fluent in Japanese, he might lead the army himself
Kudou-papa asks his daughter.
Cesario Viola is a very careful person. At this stage.I don’t think he’ll come by himself
.I see.
No.if Viola becomes the command tower, he can use Romeo and Giuliano too. Those who can speak Japanese just speak that and Romeo and others will speak English. There’s a possibility of them putting all the pieces together and attack all at once?
No way, they’re all going to charge?
That’s impossible
Michi denies it immediately.
Viola has no merit even if we’re beaten down in this place
.Eh?
Cesario Viola came to Japan to take back Nei-san didn’t he? If he fulfils his goal then he won’t mind taking the hard way?
.Fufu
Kudou-papa laughs.
You’re right.Kouzuki old man is hanging a huge carrot after all
What does that mean
I asked.
This time’s expedition started with Viola’s personal grudge. The proof is Viola bringing only a small number of subordinates from US. All of the expenses are shouldered by Cesario Viola. Japan has a high exchange in favor of Yen so the cost of stay is expensive!
I see.to take away Nei-san.
To kill Minaho-neesan and Margo-san. Viola doesn’t have money at all.
That’s where Kouzuki-san set up his game. A game where he bet his own life
Tonight’s confrontation at the hotel.
That’s effective.if he outwits Kouzuki-san, it would be a good publicity in Japan. On the contrary.There might be someone who’s already going to assassinate Kouzuki-san
Nei-san has no financial value however.
KouzukiKakkadoes.
Viola himself may insist but the manager.Lorenzaccio Bandini won’t allow this money making scheme. The other two too
I see.nobody but Viola is interested in Nei-san.
Viola’s subordinates came together with him to Japan but.while they’re at it, it’s better for them to make money and raise their name .Wait?
Then.why do this foreign gang are attacking us right now?
If the decisive battle would be at night.there’s no need to purposely bother attacking.
Scouting.they’re throwing in sacrificial pawns to find out our fighting power?
Hearing his daughter.Kudou papa.
That might be but.the important is the other one
.The other one?
They want to cut down our fighting potential even for a bit at the night battle.
With that said.
This foreign gang is a decoy.and they’re attacking to chink our strength
The enemy’s target is.Kudou-papa, Michi.and, Margo-san if possible.
In short.our own fighting power.
Therefore.we will stop them with all our strength
Kudou-papa said.
While fighting the foreign gang.they will aim at us. Perhaps, a sniper. Right now, I’m monitoring all of the points where you can snipe in the area. And if possible.deal with the sniper
.A counter attack That’s right. Even if it’s Romeo Montague or Giuliano Geneca or both. If we can take care of them here.the battle at night would be easier
.I see
At most.there’s only one assumption
Kudou-papa said.
Cesario Viola might be much more stupid than we think. If he’s a man who attacks all out at this stage, then I can’t give him credit. Also.
.What? What if Viola brought other men from the US?
I see.there’s that possibility too
We’ve confirmed that there’s five people under Viola coming to Japan. If there are members who are at Japan from other flights. This assumption would overturn the foundation.
Therefore.we have to consider the possibility that there’s a separate force that will come attacking.
Even if the possibility is only 1% we have to think of countermeasures.
This isn’t a game. Make a mistake and someone will die. You may be ready to die but.if someone dies because of your naïve judgement, it feels unpleasant.boy
Kudou-papa told me.
We can’t deal if there are five skilled criminals in Romeo Montague class. Kouzuki-san has decided the hotel battle today so we can’t increase the staff numbers further
If you extend the deadline until the decisive battle.Viola will definitely call his people from US to Japan to kill Kouzuki-san.
Before that happens.they set the date totonight
As expected, America is far away
But.father, if they were in Los Angeles, they could reach here in just twelve hours
Michi said.
KouzukiKakkadeclared the decisive hotel battle midnight last night. There’s more than twelve hours until evening today. It’s physically impossible to call a reinforcement from Los Angeles.
Don’t be stupid, there’s the time difference you know? Even if you organize a unit to send here, it’s in the middle of the night there so they can’t do anything. Criminal organizations aren’t army. If you talk about a number of people, you can’t just pack them up and send them immediately. On top of that.your pride would be as big as your power. Just because they’re ordered tocome to Japan right now, it’s impossible for them to jump on the plane on that same day.
Un.I’d sleep early at night and depart next morning.
Because of that.that would be only a selfish assumption in the end
Kudou-papa changes his previous remark easily.
It’s possible that Viola already have 200 people flying over here right now.you can’t ignore that possibility too
.It’s not good to be fixed.
You have to think of all of the possibilities. If not.you’ll only assume the favorable, and at times you go timid, you’ll only think of disadvantageous assumptions. Humans are that kind of creature!
Kudou-papa laughs.
That’s why.let me and Michi deal with those foreign gangsters. Okay?
Yes.father
.Wait
Assume the enemy have firearms. It’ll be Kudou-style level 3G
.Roger
.uhm.
What should I do?
Kudou-papa looks at me.
This Titan Boy is completely bulletproof. Just wait inside
.What?
Tony, Norma, go and eat first. Make sure to leave some for me too1
Roger, boss
Tony-san said then opens the lunch we brought.
Let’s eat, Norma-san
My, soumen.it’s properly cooled up too! Boss.please come back before the ice melts .I know!
Then.three suspicious cars come from the other side of the road!
Let’s go, Michi-kun!
Yes, father!
Both of them jump out of the Titan Boy!
wait a moment.
Tony-kun, press it
Hasta La Vista
Tony-san pushed on some switch
.Then
.Zubababan!
The ground in front of the car blows off!
The three cars stopped suddenly!
First move wins!
Kudou-papa crushed the windshield of the car with the iron pipe he’s holding!
The foreign gangsters inside the car descends the car shouting some unknown language! At the moment the man holding the Chinese broadsword raised his sword.he becomes a prey for Kudou-papa’s iron pipe!
Fuahahaha.Secret Technique, Sand Dust Windmill!
Kudou-papa hits the enemy by swinging his iron pipe!
Our boss doesn’t use any special weapon
Tony-san speaks while eating Soumen.
Kudou Detective Agencyis the sign on our van.he always wear something flashy doesn’t he? He’s questioned by the police every day. The content of the car is also being checked
Therefore, he fights with anything that’s in the location like that.
Norma-san said while slurping the soumen.
In the first place.that’s just a normal looking iron pipe but it’s carefully selected for it’s strength and lightness for combat.
Kudou-papa seems to be a human who looks playful but actually a serious one at root.
But, if you devise the hole in the iron pipe.when you swing it it would make a swinging sound right?
That’s right, it seems that he devised various things so it would sound good He’s obsessed on things that strange Doesn’t that iron pipe have a name too? If I recall.it’s called Douglas Cue.
Kudou-papa blows out two enemies with his continuous skill!
.Secret TechniqueDouble Head Snake!
The two subordinate stares at their boss while slurping soumen.
Where did he came up with that name?
On the other hand, Michi.
.Red Bute!
Michi uses the red whip she got from Margo-san.
She’s completely used to it, it seems. She’s beating down the enemy while not allowing them to approach her!
Still.Kudou-style really is.
Yeah, no matter how you look at it.they look like a hero show on a department store roof
Tony-san.Norma-san.
You people say that.
You can only see them as playing around from a distance right.
That might be the correct answer in some sense But.isn’t it a bit idiotic? Well yeah. I can understand why boss’ elder daughter doesn’t acceptKudou style The younger daughter seems to be having fun though. Michi-san’s a daddy’s girl after all
Michi’s red whip kicks the enemy like she’s dancing!
Hai hai hai hai.haiyaa!
After deciding the technique, make a sudden pose.it’s really Kudou-style like
Really.she looks cute
.She’s in combat group Or rather.musclebrain? He’s not thinking of anything but how to fight coolly Even though half of it is thinking of fashionable things.
Un. It feels very disappointing.
By the way.Tony-san, Norma-san, you do not fight?
I tried asking.
Well, we’re.
That’s not included in our contract.
.Contract.
We’re specialized in brain labor
.Err
.You’re not skilled then. Do you fight?
We only acquired basic fighting tech but Norma .What No.Norma-san’s called thefighting demon’s wifelocally Geez.that’s an old story Therefore, when it’s really hopelessly dangerous, Nroma-san will sally forth but.think of that situation as the worst I won’t fight. That’s what I signed for!
Nroma-san sips the soumen while huffing in anger.
dangerous!
One of the foreign gangster on the back takes out a pistol.
Go push
Tony-san pushes another switch
.Then Sparks blows up from the Titan Boy’s body.
That’s just fireworks.it’s to cause dizziness
Tony-san calmly says that then.the enemy holding the pistol was distracted for a moment.
.Mirror Knife!
Kudou-papa picks up a stone and throws it on the man’s head!
I don’t know how he came up with thatMirrororKnifebut.the stone hits the man’s head and he falls behind.
Secret TechniqueOtstritch’s lake!
Then, Kudou-papa swings his iron pipe and jumps into the enemy!
Gabracho! Gabracho! Gabugabuu!
Making an incomprehensible shout.he secures the pistol that fell on the ground while crushing the enemy.
Why.when you think that it’s a copy made in China? Isn’t this Mon P228?
Err, Kudou-papa holds the pistol,
SIG Sauer P226.this is a hit!
Then.Kudou-papa shoots calmly!
.Dakyuun!
.Baririn!
The window of the enemy’s car behind cracks
In the first place.I don’t know where the bullets will fly with my skill!
He shot for the second time!
.Dokyuun!
The bullet shoots the ground!
.!!!
The foreign gangster flinches.
Now.do you still want to continue?
Kudou-papa closes the distance with the enemy.
A pistol on the right and an iron pipe on the left.then an outright lie from my lips, life is on my back!
Father.what are you saying?
Michi comes to the enemy while swinging her whip.
Young ones doesn’t need to know!
Kudou-papa holds the pistol ready again!
The gangster directs the people around. It seems that he’s giving awithdraw order
.Hmm
The foreign group put their fainted companion in the car.
It’s jam-packed inside the car originally and now it got further packed. They ran back in the car. There’s someone screaming from inside the car. Either way.they were cursing at each other.
Shut up!
.Dakyuun!
Kudou-papa makes another warning shot.
The gangsters fell silent. Thirty meters away from us. The car turned then they ran away.
.Now then
Kudou-papa looked around for a while
.Michi, hide!
At that moment.Kudou-papa and Michi jumped into the grass!
.Bashu!
Bullets were shot on where Kudou-papa was a while ago!
.It’s a sniper!
3 at 42!
Tony-san tells someone over the radio;
.Okay, we’re taking care of that
At that moment.a woman voice comes from the radio.
Watch post.status report
Tony-san instructs.
1 to 12.no abnormalities
12 to 26.nothing 26 to 38.no abnormalities 38 to 50.42 secured one. Nothing else 50 to 60.no oversights
.At least, there are five observing the surroundings.
Tony-san opens the car’s sliding door.
Boss.secured one sniper. There doesn’t seem to be any combat
Roger.Tony
Kudou-papa and Michi gets up.
They’ve jumped out from a far place from where they jumped a while ago. They’re trained on this too.
I know that we would be aimed at while those foreigners withdraw.Snipers aim at the gaps in mind after all
Kudou-papa said.
Yes, we’ve been constantly moving so that we won’t be aimed at while in battle.
I see.then
Kudou-papa and Michi never stopped and continued their attack.
Them too.at the moment he shoot, we all concentrated. There’s a chance created
At the moment the sniper pulled the trigger.Kudou-papa’s people defeated the sniper?
Tony, who secured it?
Neko-senpai .Her? She’s on her way right now Neko-san’s post? Mizutani-san will be taking over .Well fine
.Then
A flashy mini car comes in from the end of the road. The mini car painted in lame pink color. Inside the car is. .What? A small child is holding the steering wheel. .Before long. The mini car arrived in front of us.
Thanks for the wait.I’ve caught the sniper!
Coming down the car.is a girl you can only see as a middle school student.
Or rather.isn’t she an elementary schoolgirl? She’s wearing a flashy shirt brand for elementary school girls now. Both of them have a black and pink lame shining.
Is this one really Kudou-san’s subordinate?
When I asked Tony-san.
Yes, Neko-senpai.Kaneko Kanako-san.38 years old
.Thirties?
A sneaker hits my side!
You! Don’t talk about my age!
Neko-senpai seems to have thrown the sneakers she’s wearing.
Who cares about that.show me the face of the sniper
Kudou-papa tells Neko-senpai
Is it Romeo Montague or Giulianio Genca?
If it was the killer Cesario Viola brought from America.the fight tonight would be easier.
.That is
Neko-senpai shows the enemy lying on the back of the car to Kudou-papa
Well.isn’t this Lorenzaccio Bandini?
.Cesario Viola’s manager?
Wasn’t Lorenzaccio Bandini not participating in combat?
Kudou-papa said.Norma-san.
Ahahahahaha, it looks like it was a fake info!
.Hey hey?
What the hell?
Chapter 212
Speaking of which.I just remembered this now
Norma-san’s startled.
If I recall, Lorenzaccio Bandini’s file says that he placed sixth in 1990’s national rifle championship in Ohio state convention
A sixth placer in Ohio.
Just how much skill is that?
Is that from LAPD?
Kudou-papa asks Norma-san.
No,it’s not on LAPD. It’s from the FBI.
Kudou-papa clicks his tongue.
Why did you not check something that important?
Well.it’s 1990.and he’s just sixth in Ohio you know?
Kudou-papa throws the iron pipe on the ground!
You, are you underestimating Ohio!
No.I don’t. This is a 20 year old matter however.
He might’ve become better after 20 years you know? Right now, he might be on third place!
.I feel that Ohio’s unrelated to this however.
Didn’t I tell you to list it and make a report no matter how small it is? Hey, Tony-kun, I asked Norma-san didn’t I?
Neko-senpai.
Well well.that doesn’t matter Kudou-chaan We’ve secured the enemy so no problems this time
Shut up you loli babaa!
Hearing Kudou-papa.Neko-san snaps off.
Don’t call me Lolibaba!
Then shut up! This is a very important talk right now!
Kudou-papa glares at Norma-san.
.Norma-kun’s working under Kouzuki security service, under myguard department. Either way, you’re under me.
.Yes
Norma-san is listening at Kudou-papa seriously.
Norma-kun’s responsible for herself and I don’t care whatever you do after you do the job posted on you. But.You’re under me right now. You have to follow my ways.
Kudou-papa’s words are strict.
My way.they often stay that I take too much time preparing or that I’ve been wasting too much thinking on all of the possibilities. It didn’t start just today. Norma-kun and I have been doing this business since kindergarten!
The area becomes quiet.
I don’t care if people on the same line of work make a fool out of me. Even if the clients tell me to eliminate waste, I don’t intend to stop. No matter how much reduced my share is.I take my time on investigation. That is my policy. I don’t overlook no matter how small it is. I know a lot of people who laugh at me but lost their lives on a simple mistake!
That is.I know but
No.you don’t get it! Just a single oversight can give birth to a decisive mistake. Our work has mistake meaning someone’s death. It’s not just my or Norma-kun’s life. It’s the life of our important allies. What is it like to keep other’s lives.think about it again!
Norma-san.
I’m very sorry!
She bows her head with a half-crying face.
Don’t bow on me! Apologize to Neko and others!
Norma-san bows her head to Neko-san.
Neko-senpai.I’m very sorry! I’m really sorry for making a half-baked report!
Un.well, be careful from now on
Neko-san answered kindly.
Yes.thank you very much!
Apologize to the others too!
.yes!
Norma-san heads to the radio!
Don’t do that! You should go to each one of them and apologize!
yes!
.Buy a canned coffee and hand it to them! Got it?
Yes.I’ll be going!
Norma-san starts running.
She’s going to all of the people surrounding the school and apologize directly?
.That’s some spartan education
Neko-san leaks a sigh and said.
Norma and Tony were asked by Kouzuki old man to be our intelligence specialist
That’s why the two doesn’t fight.
It’s the worst timing right now. When you get used to the work and site, your intuition would work. Unintentionally ignoring the basics of investigation. By thinkingIt’s okay to ignore this much.You’ll fall into a huge pitfall!
.True
Neko-san mutters while looking at Norma-san’s back growing smaller.
Both Neko and I have noticed various things since we had a lot of allies who died. What you need to survive. I’d like Tony and Norma to realize that before someone dies. If possible.by themselves
.As usual, you always look after them
.Is it bad?
No, it’s not.that’s what I like about you
Neko-san laughs.
.Let’s eat. We’ve got some Soumen
There’s only your share, right?
Eat Norma’s share. It’s good if there’s no soumen when she comes back
.Is that for education too?
.Yeah
Neko-san points at her light car.
What about Lorenzaccio Bandini inside that?
Leave him alone
.Seriously?
He’s fainted and bound, right?
Yeah.he won’t wake up within two hours
Then, leave him.we would like to know whether Cesario Viola would move and retake the captured Lorenzaccio Bandini
.I see
Neko-san laughs.
Tony, report on radio. Maintain the first class alert. The others would understand with that alone
.Yes
Tony-san heads to the radio in the driver’s seat.
Kudou-papa looks at me inside the car.
Boy.let’s talk for a bit
Ah, sure
Michi-kun, get in the car
Yes.father!
Neko-san whispers to Kudou-papa.
.Who’s that?
Kuromori’srookie
Really?I can only see him as adick slaveor aCard Role
I.
Hello.I’m Yoshida. I’m just a normal high school student
Really.I’m useless.
I myself think so.
Oh, hello. Call me Neko
.Sure
Her voice is kind but Neko-san’s eyes are wary of me.
Well.I must be a sore thumb on a criminal organization main on prostitution likeKuromori
Michi comes beside me.
Don’t be afraid.stay calm, Yoshida!
.eh?
Yoshida right now is here on behalf ofKuromori!
.Right
No good.
I’m telling you to stop making that face!
.Michi
What’s going on? It’s my first time seeing Michi-chan scold a boy
Neko-san laughs.
Or rather.Michi-kun’s talking so closely with a man. Papa’s a bit shocked
Hearing her father’s words.
we’re not close!
Michi’s in total denial.
Well fine. Girls would lose it sooner or later.
When everyone’s inside the car.Kudou-papa closed the door.
This titan boy is said to be bulletproof.
For the time being.we’re safe here
Tony-kun, you already ate yours?
.Yes
Then, Tony’s on watch
.Roger
Lean your ears here
Yes
Norma-kun too, listen!
.Yes boss
A voice comes from the speaker
She must’ve put the phone on hands-free so she can listen to the conversation inside the car while wlaking.
Neko.eat the soumen. I’ll take care of these
Kudou-san recommends the soumen to Neko-san
My, looks delicious.then let me take a sip!
Neko-san begins eating.
Now then.first would be you, boy. Do you understand the reason why I scolded Norma-kun so much?
Kudou-papa stares at me.
Well.the information about Lorenzaccio Bandini until now is that he’s a manager without any combat capabilities.the people on alert didn’t expect Bandini to come.so I think that the attitude to precaution was different Is that all?
.Err
If it was known that Bandini had an experience in rifle shooting.then the need for measures against a sniper would’ve been larger.
Is that all?
.Err
For the time being.that’s all
.Fuu
But, that’s big. It’s important for those who are alert to know who’s their target.the rifle’s much more important.
.Yes
Or rather.sniper rifle is something you need to learn properly with your body
Neko-san said while sipping noodles.
The enemy right now is a group of killers from Los Angeles. Most are young boy gangsters rising in the poor district of Los Angeles. Well everyone’s used to shooting guns.there’s a lot with an experience of shooting people with a pistol or getting on a gunfight at short distance.but it’s normal that they’re fundamentally unable to shoot a rifle .I see
Nowadays, there are those children of hunters who shoot a rifle since childhood.what about in the army? Just like this time’s case, if you’re not someone with an experience in rifle competition you can’t be a sniper.
For a sniper, the rifle and the bullet are expensive. An ordinary criminal won’t reach that foot easily
Neko-san adds to Kudou-papa’s explanation
That’s why, we look up at the enemy force’s file in advance, if there’s no military personnel then we usually eliminate the possibility of a sniper. Kudou-chan didn’t ignore it this time. This man sends a man even when he knows that there’s only a single percent of possibility and knowing that it’s wasteful That’s why Neko-san and others were posted on identified sniping points beforehand.
Therefore, Lorenzaccio Bandini carrying a rifle was immediately noticed and was caught.
But.as expected, we’re also humans. If we believe on the small chance of a sniper, we go check it. To be honest, everyone was acting in anticipation of a raid from a separate force.
Yeah.if Neko wasn’t in the area, Bandini might not have been caught. Or rather, it’s possible that Michi-kun and I get sniped.
Therefore.it’s stupid to overlook the information that there’s someone experienced in using the rifle on Cesario Viola’s subordinates
.Is that how it is?
No, even Kudou-papa thought of the possibility of the sniper appearing even a little.
Even if a sniper appears, then a separate force succeeded in the feint, it would mean that the skill of the shooter isn’t that great?
Neko-san laughs at Kudou-papa.
That’s right. Therefore.I instructed you to capture the sniper at the moment he shoots
That’s why only a single bullet was shot.
Kudou-papa and Michi avoided it though.
But.In the case of this sixth placer in Ohio, he should’ve been caught before shooting. It’s dangerous to be seen by that man on a scope
.I see
Therefore.that lady on Kouzuki Security Service has to be apologizing to Kudou-chan and Michi-chan the most. And yet, to give priority on the people doing the outside work.Kudou-chan’s an adult
That’s not how it is. If she doesn’t apologize to Neko properly, Norma-kun next time would be underestimated by her companions. It would be troublesome. If such a subordinate turns to a rumor, it would hinder my future activities. I’m not thinking about you people.
What are you saying. Kudou-chan’s so sweet. If she’s under me, she’s fired right away!
.I can’t let that happen. She’s an important asset given by Kouzuki old man
Kudou-papa leaks a sigh.
By the way.what’s the reason why you gave the soumen to only me?
Neko-san stares at Kudou-papa
Neko.you like that car?
Kudou-papa looks at the car holding Lorenzaccio Bandini.
I do but.either way, that’s just a camouflage for work. I’ll do it if Kudou-chan needs it!
I’ll compensate for it
Eh.what’s going on?
.Kudou-chan, you’re really amazing. I didn’t think that far. I just took this foreigner like that
Neko-san said in frustration.
.Tony. Does anyone have any information on spotting other Cesario Viola’s subordinates?
No, there’s nothing
Kudou-papa looks at Neko-san.
Cesario Viola’s right hand manager is caught. If this is out of their expectation then isn’t it strange for them not to take any action?
That’s right.normally, you’d desperately try to take him back but.
If he’s the manager, then he knows a lot of information about Viola.
Tony, move Titan boy. 30 meters to the school side. Get away from Neko’s car. Do it slowly.
Ah.okay
Tony-san starts the car’s engine.
This car is made to be explosion proof so we can be at ease at least
.Does that mean?
.Does that mean that there’s a bomb in Lorenzaccio Bandini?
Michi speaks up.
We’re not sure.if it was me, I would do that. Normally, you’d interrogate Lorenzaccio Bandini when you catch him don’t you? If you make him explode at that moment.
Then all of the interrogators would be killed by the bomb.
But.would Cesario Viola do that far? It’s his own right hand you know?
Neko-san speaks up.
Lorenzaccio Bandini doesn’t participate in combatthat was the info. Then won’t that make.Lorenzaccio Bandini is Cesario Viola’s right handa lie too?
.Ah
Is it a trap
Was Lorenzaccio Bandini sent to be caught by enemy on purpose?
The subordinate caught yesterday was interrogated but there’s hardly any useful information. Viola’s precise on his measures. Then.there’s no way for him to let his manager have a rifle and go alone?
.If Bandini is really an important man.
There’s no way he’d be put to such danger.
But, Bandini’s the only one with a known face among Viola’s organization, right? The job won’t be done unless you pass it to Bandini
Neko-san says that but.
If it’s justface to face contacteveryone can do it. It doesn’t need to be Bandini, he can be replaced by someone else. In the end.Bandini’s only that kind of existence.and the judgement and all the work is done by Viola himself .In that case.
Father. In that case, the 5 person group who came to Japan from Centrair airport with Lorenzaccio Bandini.
They brought Bandini who has a known face on purpose.it’s a fake to attract our eyes
In the first place, everyone took the fake name of each member of the Beatles
In short.it was all a fake from the start.
Cesario Viola went to Japan separate from those five people.we don’t know how many he has brought!
Are we going back to the drawing board?
Neko-san said disappointingly
Perhaps, Bandini doesn’t notice that he’s a human bomb
That might be. Cesario Viola doesn’t have expectations on a sniper that placed sixth in Ohio.
As expected.Ohio’s sixth is no good!
Boss.everyone’s not here!
Norma-san’s voice come from the speaker.
I came to apologize but everyone’s not here!
Hearing that.Kudou papa.
That’s obvious. We’re in first grade alert, like hell you can make contact on your allies!
.I see.
The eney knows who’s theperson in charge of caution
Eeh?
Kudou-san.
Come back already! Don’t panic, and do it slowly!Also, don’t approach Neko’s car. Okay!
Yes!
Then, at the moment Norma-san replied
Boss.a signal came out
Tony-san shouts.
From how?
Gun-san!
As expected.they found a guy tailing Norma
As expected, Norma-san is being tailed by Viola’s subordinate.
It was right to let Norma go.if it was earlier, we won’t know that the enemy is an exploding human bomb. Making Norma go divides the enemy concentration to two
Right.until the enemy chasing after Norma grasps our number and faces, the enemy will hold back from blowing him up
Neko-san mutters.
Give Gun a blue sign. Don’t interfere even tailed. Also, turn Rascal to follow. I doubt it but Gun might have someone tailing him too
The person going to identify the one tailing might also be tailed so he’s going to send a person to check it?
We don’t know the number of enemies we have so we have to assume all possibilities
Roger!
Tony-san faces the laptop.
It’s gotten easier now.you can use emails
But, don’t write anything concrete. It’s easily reproduced even if it’s erased from the memory
It can’t be helped but send only cryptography.if you give out detailed instructions, only those who doesn’t have any reading comprehension would know how to do
Well, right.now then
Kudou-papa turned to me.
After revealing his skill.I want to hear the boy’s opinion
My opinion?
No.I’m just a normal high school student.and a stupid one to include
Just say what you think from what you see.we’ve got the analysis and judgement
.Haa
Actually.when delivering breakfast, Michi-kun reported me the details ofKuromoriand Cesario Viola. It’s about that Nei girl.
.Michi
She was listening to Nei-san’s story last night.
Then she told Kudou-papa this morning.
Perhaps.Minaho-neesan knows that Michi will report to Kudou-papa so she let her deliver breakfast.
Then.Margo-san sent me here this time.
She thinks that it’s unavoidable for Kudou-papa to posses some information.
Rather, she might be thinking that an amateur like me is suited for this.
I don’t have any special knowledge as someone in the underground society.
What do you want to know?
What.it’s easy. What do you think about Cesario Viola?
.What?
Err.someone I can’t know the true nature. His image doesn’t suit him.
I answered honestly.
His image doesn’t suit?
Yes.this is only from what I’ve heard from Nei-san, it seems that Cesario Viola’s a vulgar and violent homo. However.from what I’ve heard from Kudou-san, he looks like very clever and punctual.
Un.it doesn’t match.
You think so too?Actually, I do
Kudou-papa mutters.
Viola’s personality can’t be grasped completely. It is as if there’s two Viola.
Two Viola?
Earlier.if the violent Viola is the real one, then he’d just leave the planning to his manager, Lorenzaccio Bandini. Furthermore, Bandini has the quick wits enough to control Viola
.But
Viola made Bandini disposable. In short, he didn’t have that much power in the organization.in short, all of the planning and execution is done by Viola himself
But.somehow, he’s eccentric and impulsive from Nei-san’s story.I can’t think of him as an intelligent person at all
I think.
Right? But, in an organization like Viola’s.the top man won’t be approved unless he has some talent.
If he’s just eccentric and impulsive.nobody would follow him.
You guys.how about you think about it once you’ve emptied your heads?
Neko-san told us.
Cesario Viola’s not even a real name, right?
Yeah.it seems. His real name is
Fabiano Katou. He’s an Italian-American, right?
If I recall, that’s what Nei-san said.
Forget about that and just think about Cesario Viola’s name
.Neko-san
Cesario Viola’sa woman’s name
.What?
Tony-kun’s detailed about this, right?
Neko-san talks to Tony-san.
Yes. She’s a character in Shakespeare work!
Tony-san told us smiling.
In Shakespeare’s comedyTwelfth Night, the female protagonistViolawas dressed as a man and introduces himself asCesario
In short.CesarioandViolaare names of one girl. TheViolaas her girl’s name, andCesarioas the man’s name
.What does that mean?
The fake name of Viola’s dead sister is also from Shakespeare. Rosalind Orlando Rosalindis the main character ofAs you like it.As expected, it’s a character that can be turned to a man by dressing up Orlandois the name of her lover Orlandoisn’t only on Shakespeare. It’s also in Virginia Woolf If I recall, it’s about a hermaphrodite who kept living for 300 years
Neko-san said.
ViolaequalCesarioand RosalindandOrlando.They are symbols of transgender and sexuality
Why would they make such a code name?
Tony-san asked curiously.
Either way.Fabiano Katou is a criminal who’s not who he claim he is!
Kudou-papa mutters.
I don’t know who they are but, the person who thought ofCesario Viola’scode name must be in a higher position
Neko-san speaks.
Right. Fabiano Katou is a leader of a mere execution force.then I think there’s a smart boss who’s organizing the whole organization separately
The boss of the organization is someone other thanCesario Viola?
Chapter 213
Tony-kun, could you summarize the characteristics ofCesario Violawe currently know?
Neko-san asked Tony-san.
Err.first is his real name.
Tony-san tries to recite Viola’s profile.
No no.That is Viola’sinformation What I’m asking is hisfeature
Neko-san smiled.
.Features?
That’s right. What kind of criminal Viola is? Err.he’s a boss of a criminal organization that receives work from people to threaten, cause mayhem, and murder.whenever he goes to the scene, he’s always in disguise so his real face is unknown That’s right.Viola’s real face is only known by the executive class of the organization. Why would they do something so troublesome? That is.Viola has a habbit of disguising.he’s sexually perverted.and he’s a human with a strong makeover desire.
Tony-san replied
.Do you really think so?
.Eh?
Kudou-papa helps out
Don’t tease him too much.someone who major in criminal psychology at college gets his head stiff when taking on at FBI’s profiling method
.It seems so
Neko-san looks at me.
What do you think?
.I
It is so they can change to another person anytime? Since you don’t know his face, nobody would notice if they become a different person
.Correct
Neko-san’s face gets serious.
Why do you think so?
Well.they used Lorenzaccio Bandini as a sacrificial pawn, right? Then the story about Bandini an important person in the organization and him being Viola’s manager is a fake. Then, isn’t there a possibility that Cesario Viola himself is a fake?
Neko-san nods.
Yeah. It’s possible that the original Cesario Viola.real name, Fabiano Katou is dead long ago and we’re dealing with another generation’sCesario Viola!
The mysterious boss.Viola might’ve been replaced already.
But.Then who in the organization tellsThis one’s Cesario Viola?
Tony-san asks his doubt.
That is.according to Nei-san, she said that on the old days, her sister, Rosalind and Lorenzaccio Bandini are the only ones who know Viola’s identity.
Viola appears in disguise at the meeting place with the members of the organization.
The other members doesn’t know who Viola is because of the elaborate disguise. Then.Rosalind and Bandini points him and guarantees.and that’s how Viola functions as the organization’s leader. .But Rosalind died on the shootout with Kei-san. Lorenzaccio Bandini became a human bomb on the mini-car over there.
.There must be some others who know which one is the disguised Viola is. Even if they knew, they pretend that they can’t until Bandini points him out. In the end, they leave the surface to Rosalind and Bandini and there’s a guy who’s hiding inside the organization.
Kudou-papa mutters.
.I see. Blending among the other men.someone’s instructing Viola from the shadows?
We now know that Lorenzaccio Bandini wasn’t an important person in the organization. If there’s someone making instructions to Viola other than Bandini.Then perhaps, there’s someone among Viola’s men directly connected to the organization’s big boss .I see
No.that guy might be the big boss himself
Neko-san said.
Right. Pretending to be a subordinate and staying by his side.but actually, that guy might be the top of the organization directing Viola
Tony-san speaks in excitement.
Though it’s possible.isn’t that taking it a bit too far? Won’t the real boss not do a job that would make his hands dirty?
Kudou-papa rejects Neko-san’s theoryBoss is the subordinate.
However.at this stage, there’s no way we can make a decision. We should just deal with all of the possibilities right now
Kudou-papa leaks a sigh.
Then.what should we do with Lorenzaccio Bandini in my car?
Neko-san asks for Kudou-papa’s judgement.
.Leave him
Leave him like that? We’ll leave him like that for two hours.we’ll check whether the enemy would really come to pick up Bandini, If the enemy comes then we’ll completely block this road and leave him until night .Why? It’s troublesome if Lorenzaccio Bandini really has a bomb set up. The bomb removal team of Kouzuki security service isn’t familiar with this case.Yamaoka on the integrated guard division is a muscle brain. If we take Bandini there carelessly.then he might just blow up! Right.it’ll be troublesome if Kouzuki security service building is blown up
Tony-san speaks.
Let Shige’s group monitor Bandini. They’re not going to be taken to the battle tonight anyway
Roger, Kudou-chan
Neko-san answers.
Bandini won’t die if he’s detained for a day. We can’t afford interrogating a sacrificial pawn right now. On the contrary, if we take hold of a false information, it would be troublesome.
Well, he’s an adult so he’ll be fine even if he’s trapped in a car.
It’s sunny today but it’s not that hot.
Either way, it’ll be settled tomorrow.no, it’ll have to be settled!
.Tomorrow?
Now then.we’ve exposed our hands this far but.
Kudou-papa looks at Michi
.What do you think, Michi-kun?
.Michi
.I’ve understood how father thinks about thinks deeply and prepare for it. It’s a very good reference
Don’t say taht
Kudou-papa answered coldly.
.Michi-kun, do you want to enter this kind of world?
.Eh?
.If possible, I’d like to succeed father’s Kudou style
This is unrelated to Kudou style.what I’m doing right now is underground business. Also.it’s only danger and the income isn’t suitable
Neko-san looks at Kudou-papa
Should I go out?
No.stay. I’d like Neko to be here
Kudou-papa tells Neko-san.
Unlike me who’s doing underground work.you can be a regular member of Kouzuki security service like Etsuko, Shinichi, and Haruka. They’re official bodyguards. Their salary and holidays are guaranteed. They also have a veto power to unreasonable work. They get a social status too.but Kudou-papa stares at his own iron pipe that was put aside.
There’s nothing here. You’re not allowed to go to the surface.and yet, you always stand next to death
Father.do you regret it?
Kudou-papa laughs.
Don’t be stupid.I like this so I took this road. Even if I’m reborn a hundred times, I will go to the underground world. That is my mission
Then.Me too.
Kudou-papa stopped Michi.
.Don’t be easily swept away by the sentiment of parent and child. Let me be clear. I have no regrets on my way of living. But.I don’t think I want my daughter to follow the same path as me!
.Father Above all.you’ve already decided your road, right?
Michi.
Yes.I would like to devote my life to Misuzu-sama
Then, go that way, I will stay here! However.there are still a lot of things I have to learn from Father!
Michi desperately holds to her father.
.There’s nothing like that!
Kudou-papa throws it away in a single phrase.
What’s ahead is only a road of carnage.didn’t I tell you a while ago? Everything will be settled by tomorrow. What do you think that means?
.Father? We.Yamaoka and Etsuko, the people at Kouzuki security service headquarters.were ordered by Kouzuki old man toexterminate But.the meaning ofexterminatediffers between them and us
.The meaning differs.
Those from headquarters.they’re okay as long as they have protected Kouzuki old man from Cesario Viola and send him away to America. Theirexterminateis to repel But, ourextermination!
Neko-san speaks with dark eyes.
Kill Cesario Viola and his colleagues!Everyone of them that came to Japan. That means we won’t let anyone alive by tonight until tomorrow morning. That is theextermination directivewe underground people received from Kouzuki-san!
So they will go with the intent to kill!
Michi.I don’t want you to kill people
Kudou-papa said with a calm face.
.Father
Michi looks down.
If you’re going to live as Misuzu-ojousan’s guardian.then everything I’ve taught you until now would be enough. The true essence of Kudou style ancient martial arts can be exercised in the battlefield. What I will be teaching you are techniques to surely kill people. I don’t want to teach you that Therefore.Kudou-papa always show tricks that looks like he’s playing around.
No.I already know. The secrets of Kudou style
Michi looks up at her father’s eyes.
I’ve discovered father’s hiddensecret book I can’t use it in actual combat but.I continued training it
.I see
Kudou-papa’s words are clogged.
I’m sorry.it caught my eye not knowing what father thinks.please forgive my impoliteness
Michi bows her head to her father.
No.it’s fine. Knowing it and using it is different. It is for you to decide on how to make use of the skills you’ve learned
Kudou-papa forgave his daughter.
But still.I can’t allow you to go run after me and do underground work. You follow Misuzu-ojousama That would be yourKudou style ancient martial arts
.Father I’ve shown you my underground this far because if you’re going to be guarding Misuzu-ojousama, then you’ll be in the position using people from the underground like me and Neko
As a legitimate guard.she’ll handle the people in the underground.
For that sake, it’s better if you’re familiar with the way underground people live, work, think, and behave. Thus I’ve put you by my side until today
Kudou-papa looks at Michi’s red whip.
Let me see that
Michi handed thered buteto her father.
Nice whip.who gave you this?
Kuromori’sMargo-sama I see.
Kudou-papa pulls the whip to check its strength.
I’ve been advised that weapons like this are better than a hammer.
An appropriate judgement. This is a weapon to protect people. A weapon to keep the enemies away.the color’s flashy too I think it’s a good weapon for a guard
Kudou-papa returns the whip to Michi.
We peoplee underground don’t hold weapons that can be seen as weapons from outside. So the enemy won’t be wary.so you can infiltrate. You’re out when there’s a body check on the way. But.the guards should have weapons that are easy to know. Extend your whip so everyone can know the wonderfulness of your whip Spread the image ofMisuzu-ojousama’s guard’s red whip is frightening That would be your and your lady’s first barrier If Michi’s strength is known by the world.half of them won’t attack Misuzu.
But.you need another skill in addition to your whip. Secret Technique A sure kill skill when the enemy thinks that you’re going to attack with your whip. If you have such asecret techniqueit would be useful in times of emergency .Understood, Father
Michi-kun, this will be the last advice I will give you
Kudou-papa smiles.
With that said.Neko. Michi-kun’s my daughter.don’t drag her to underground business. Sorry but you will also deal with it. If you try to scout her secretly, I won’t end it with just a sorry
.I know. Kudou-chan
Neko-san said.
I also have a son. Even I.it’s too late for me to make a fuss on doing such work but.I don’t want my son to do this job. I will tell the others. Nobody will pull Michi-chan in the underground work.ever .Sorry but, please
Kudou-papa bows to Neko-san.
Lastly.Kudou-papa looks at me.
.Take care of my daughter
.I
On behalf ofKuromori.I’ll take care of your daughter!
I bowed to Kudou-papa.
He’s a very good father.
On the way home from Kudou-papa’s car.
I told Michi.
Father is my pride.
Michi said sadly.
I.what should I do from now on?
I looked up at the sky.
May sky’s a fine weather.
It’s okay.Michi has me and Misuzu
.Eh? You’re not alone.no, you won’t be alone
I hold Michi’s hand.
Michi grabs my hand in silence.
Really.it is as Margo-san says
Her small hand grasps me tightly
Yoshida has the power to heal a woman’s heart
.Michi Call me Michi1
Michi said with a serious face.
Father was the one who gave me the name Michi. MichiisUnknown, it leads theWay
Yup.that’s a good name Yes, that’s because it’s the name father gave me
Then.Michi smiled
She clenches my hand tightly That shows the strength of Michi’s heart. This lesbian samurai girl.is mentally strong. Perhaps, even more than Mana who’s younger. Though her combat capability is already beyond adult, her mind is still growing. She’s always been with Kudou-papa after all. Michi’s tense now that she has parted from her father. Her insecurity is appearing. Someone has to take care of Michi’s heart. That is my job.
Now, let’s go back.once we get out of the school and reach thenational theateryou can meet Misuzu!
Yes.Yoshida!
.Hmm
ミッチィ has become 美智 but.2 Yoshida seems to remain like that. Well.that’s fine
Let’s hurry! Yoshida!
Yeah.Michi
We ran holding each other’s hands.
Returning to themonitor room.what’s there is awomen garden
Everyone’s dressing up.preparing for Misuzu’s presentation
Yoshi-kun.how does it look?
Megu’s wearing the green dress we chose.
Yeah, very beautiful
Megu shows me her long foot extending under her dress.
It is as Yoshi-kun says.this dress emphasizes my feet. Katsuko-neesan praised me
Megu’s very happy
Katsuko-neesan also did my hair.I borrowed some accessories as well
Megu who dressed up looked very elegant and clean.
She’s gorgeous but.not cheap. As expected of Katsuko-nee’s sense.
Onii-chan, what about me?
Mana appears.
.Err On the other side, Mana’s mistakenly on the sexy route. Her yellow dress.exposes her back and stomach.it exposes her skin boldly. Her hair is raised.and what’s with that dragonfly-like sunglasses? Somehow, it looks like a small child cosplaying a high class hostess.
Nei-san did this but.
As expected.
It’s theme isLoli bitch!
.Hmm
But, this 14 year old healthy body is counteracting the superficial vulgarity. Is it because her growth is good? There’s no lewdness nor nastiness at all. This is cute on it’s own. ThisSexyandCutesubtle balance is very Nei-san like
Oh, you’re cute Mana
When I praised her, Mana jumps into my chest.
At times like this, you should at least give a hug!
Un, you’re right
Mana wants to be spoiled so I gave her a hug.
With the elegant Megu and sexy Mana line up.it feels strangely balanced. Each of them complements the appeal of the other. They look likebeautiful sisters
It’s right to make Mana-chan that kind of sexiness and flashiness
Nei-san appears from the depths of the room.
Also, looking like that.nobody would know that Mana-chan’s from Shirasaka house!
True.they probably won’t think that Shirasaka Sousuke’s daughter would appear in such a flashy and sexy dress after making such a noise in the society.
Un.I think my friends at school won’t notice me
Mana said it herself.
Mana-chan.you should be wearing something more flashy from now on. A dress that would make you shine!
Speaking of which, Nei-san’s wearing a black pantsuit.
As expected.she seems to be dressing up to disguise as amanagainst Cesario Viola. However, unlike earlier, the clothes doesn’t compress her chest. Nei-san’s abundant chest and constricted waist.and her soft ass are emphasized. Nei-san’s fundamentally a voluptuous girl so a simple black suit would look good on her.
You’re beautiful, Nei-san
I say then embrace Nei-san.
I feel her soft and warm body with mine.
Ufufu! Thank you, Yo-chan!
Nei-san pats my head.
Just in time.come here
Then.Katsuko-nee calls me from behind
Katsuko-nee’s wearing a tight skirt and a wine red suit. She looks like a beautiful secretary in a big company. She’s even wearing an elegant glasses.
Look.I might meet my former guests
Misuzu’s symposium has a lot of people from the upper class.
There would be guests ofKuromoriamong them too
Therefore, even if I meet them.I’m in a look that there won’t be any problems.
Un.there’s a high possibility that they would take their wife and children.
Even if it becomes a scene where they have to give a greeting, they would mistake her as a secretary.
Come here. You have to change too, right?
.Oh right.
Katsuko-nee corrected the size of the navy blue suit.
Wait, I’ll go too Yoshi-kun
Megu smiles.
It’s my job to change Yoshi-kun’s clothes
Eh, what about Mana? Mana-chan will be waiting in this room with me!
Nei-san told Mana.
Mana-chan, I’ll put you some make-up
Eh, Nei-san.really?
Mana rejoices.
Nei-san, make it flashy!
It’s fine. Didn’t I tell you earlier? Mana-chan’s cute when she’s flashy
Anyway.I’ll leave Mana to Nei-san.
I go in the back with Megu. That was the dressing room.
The fixed suit is placed there along with a new Y-shirt
Katsuko-nee said.
Okay, Yoshi-kun.I’ll be taking off your clothes!
Megu happily takes off my uniform
.Ufu!
Megu laughs.
What’s wrong?
Taking off a man’s jacket feels very thrilling. It really feels like I’m Yoshi-kun’s wife! Right?That’s why, let’s have everyone alternate when changing his clothes. We won’t leave it to only Megumi-chan! Okaay, Katsuko-neesan!
Megu speaks while standing behind me, taking off my clothes.
I will be the one doing the necktie today. Megumi-chan doesn’t know how to tie a man’s tie, right?
Yes, please teach me. I want to practice it!
Megu smiled at Katsuko-nee.
Yoshi-kun, don’t need to learn it. I will be the one doing Yoshi-kun’s necktie in the future!
.Is that so?
By the way Katsuko-nee.about my hairstyle
.How do you want it?
Katsuko-nee looks at me.
Could you make it look a bit wild?
Wild? Misuzu seems to prefer that one
That’s what Misuzu said on the day where I first raped Mana.
Today is Misuzu’s hour of glory. I’d try to look as Misuzu likes as possible.
Got it.I’ll make it look good
Katsuko-nee smiled.
.Katsuko, you’ve got time?
.Then
The door opens and Minaho-neesan enters the room. Minaho-neesan’s on her usual black clothes. Long sleeves and a long dress hiding her neck. No.the fabric is different from the clothes she usually wear at school. It’s shining so it’s silk I guess? Well.nothing changes on her silhouette though.
Yes What do you need, Ojou-sama?
Katsuko-nee asks.
What do you think about her look?
Appearing behind Minaho-neesan is.
.Yukino
Pu!
Katsuko-nee laughed out.
Un.what the heck Yukino’s on her modest face just like this morning. Her hair is divided into two braids. Her face has a thick black frame eyeglasses. That’s what’s the same from this morning but. Her clothes.
Ojou-sama.is the themeBee?
A dress with a painful yellow and black stripes.
.Err The stripes are thick. It has a prisoner clothes look. What kind of sense is this?
No.the theme isroad construction site
road construction site?
Minaho-neesan’s sense is frightening If I recall.this is the color used in the barricade for the road construction.
I tried to use black and yellow to warn all the surrounding pedestrians!
Yukino’s in a black state with a pale face.
Yukino’s going to a celebrity gathering in this outfit!
1. Yoshida calls him ミッチィ she wants to be called 美智, but the author writes 美智 on narration
2. Both are read as Michi
Chapter 214
Coming back from the dressing room.Nei-san isdressing upMichi.
That said, she’s not actually being dressed up. Michi’s on her usual super-ojou-sama school uniform. In places like Misuzu’s symposium, this uniform should have a considerable status. It’s much more dignified than cheap dresses.
How does this feel?
Michi’sdress upis putting a red ribbon on her long black hair.
Then.a faint, thin make-up. I guess it’s called Natural makeup Nei-san straightens Michi’s eyebrows.then puts a lip balm on her mouth. Michi who looks like a Japanese doll from the beginning, her beauty increased with something that small.
Did Nei-san suggest putting makeup on her?
When I asked Nei-san.
No, not me. It’s Mii-chan
Michi seems to have asked Nei-san herself.
.Thank you very much
Michi thanked Nei while looking at her figure reflected in the hand mirror.
Kudou-san’s very beautiful!
Mana gives her admiration.
I’d be troubled if I’m not!
.Eh?
I am Misuzu-sama’s guard. And, my role as a guard to make the enemy focus down on my existence
Michi already begins to explore her own way now that she’s separated from her father.
.But.
But.isn’t it bad if Kudou-san stands out more than her master, Misuzu-san?
Megu threw a question to Michi instead of me.
That is not a problem. Misuzu-sama’s thirty times much more beautiful than me
Thirty times?
I’m doing all of my best to stand out and not be buried in the glow of Misuzu-sama’s beauty
Un.well
Misuzu and Michi are both beauties so it’s fine.
Here, Yoshida-kun.Megumi.Mana-san
Minaho-neesan handed us an envelope
What’s this?
It feels like a hard card is inside tho.
That’s money.100k yen each. Also, a public transportation card. It’s charged with 10k yen
Minaho-neesan looks at us with serious eyes.
Depending on the circumstances after his.if at worst, you were separated from the others, use the money without hesitation. You should be able to manage most things with 100k yen. When you take the train or bus, be sure to use the card.don’t buy a ticket. They can anticipate your destination from the price. If you think you are being tailed then you can make a stopover anytime Minaho-neesan really thinks about us.
The meeting place on unforeseen circumstances would be Tamayo’s hotel. Go there. In case we need shelter, you can talk to her
Tamayo-san’s love hotel we stayed at the day before yesterday.
Where Megu, Mana and I spent a night together. .But
The map to Tamayo-san’s hotel is here. We went there by car last time so I thought you might not know the exact location
Minaho-neesan puts down a printed map on the table
Please memorize this place now. The location of Tamayo’s hotel, and her phone number. This paper shouldn’t be taken. After you memorize it, I’ll dispose it on the shredder
Minaho-neesan.she’s assuming the possibility of the enemy infiltrating this monitor room after we go out.
Therefore, she intends to dispose any information she doesn’t want to be known. desperately memorize the map. Minaho-neesan turned to Yukino who’s waiting behind.
I won’t be giving anything to Yukino-san. Not a wallet nor an ID. She’ll be following us with desperate resolution penniless!
Yukino shivers.
If ever you try to run away from us.all of Yukino-san’s embarrassing videos and photos would be released on the internet. Yesterday, Shrirasaka Sousuke’s rape videos.and today the obscene images of his daughter! The media and the society would be noisy again!
Yukino’s face sinks down horribly.
She doesn’t have the energy to make any more complains. Minaho-neesan laughs at Yukino then she handed me a wristwatch.
Put this on, Yoshida-kun. The same thing is attached on Yukino-san’s arm. Once every ten minutes, it sends a weak radio wave on each other to check the position of the other. If ever the radio wave doesn’t reach for more than 20 minutes, it’ll alarm loudly.
So we’ll immediately know if Yukino runs away from us?
If in case Yukino-san disappears and the alarm rings.please report to me immediately. At that moment, I will automatically consider thatYukino-san has escapedand send all the files tot he internet and media!
Minaho-neesan laughs.
In short.Yukino and I have to stay in a distance where the radio waves reaches each other.
Well, even if I say weak radio waves, the it’ll reach as long as you’re in the same building. But, it might be useless underground. Yoshida-kun.try pressing the red button on the wrist watch
I pressed the button on the side.
Pipi.Sensed within 10 meters
Yukino and my watch sends message at almost the same time.
If ever you don’t know where the other is, press that button. It’ll tell you the distance
In that case.Yukino will absolutely have to be a distance where the radio waves would reach my watch!
Yukino wearing a black and yellow construction site dress is looking at me with eyes of despair.
Now then, should we go? Did everyone go to the toilet already?
Margo-san comes.
Margo-san’s wearing a black suit and sunglasses. She can be seen as a guard from the distance. No.she’s doing that on purpose. We’ll be heading to theNational theater.where the Japanese Classical dance from Konpeki school will be presented. Those dancing in the symposium.including Misuzu are all distinguished families in Japan. Big names from the political and business world would visit the venue to watch their child’s dance. Normally.each of the house has a guard gathered. Then, Margo-san thinks of blending as aguard No, it’s not just Margo-san. Among us, those who are wearing black clothes are Minaho-neesan, Margo-san, and Nei-san only. Minaho-neesan and Nei-san.if they’re alone then black would stand out but if the three of them are lined up, they look like a team. Margo-san’s the bodyguard, Nei-san’s the assistant of children, Minaho-neesan is in charge of management. It won’t be strange to think that they’re hired by a famous house. Then adding Katsuko-nee on her beautiful secretary style wine-red suit.they feel like a first-class servants employed by a high rank family. The problem is.we theyoung classcoming to the venue with these first class people, doesn’t look childish at all. Even if Yukino’smodest face + construction site dressdoes her best to be fashionable.she can’t make out a suitable elegance fromMinaho-neesan + Katsuko-nee + Margo-san + Nei-santeam I’m just a poor high school boy. 1 Megu’s a beauty but she’s a lovely flower on in the field. Today’s Mana is on her cuteLoli Bitch Michi.she’s a beauty but she’s not putting out an Ojou-sama aura. Rather, she’s letting out bloodlust. Misuzu looks like she’d be surrounded by these four people. Misuzu has the appearance that makes her look like a princess.
Then, let’s leave
Minaho-neesan looks at us.
This will be the final match. Tonight, everything will be settled.therefore, we’ll all attack. Sorry.we can’t afford to separate the groups to attack and defense now
First.we’ll go to Misuzu’s symposium.
Then.settle with Shirasaka family at the hotel specified by Mr. Kouzuki For me, I have to confront KouzukiKakka Then.engage with Cesario Viola at the hotel.
Therefore, let’s all come back home in good health!
Hearing Minaho-neesan, everyone except Yukino nodded.
We left with our backs to the wall. We will return here again when the enemy’s completely destroyed. Cesario Viola.Shirasaka house too.
When we leave, this room would be locked. Without Minaho’s biometrics, this will never open again. Minaho.survive by all means. The biometrics won’t work unless it’s the living Minaho
Margo-san told Minaho-neesan.
I know.I can’t die leaving you behind.
Yuzuki Minaho.oursisterand ourmother.
Through the underground passage.we head to the hidden garage for the school personnel.
The first car would be my Blue Maserati, the second car is Minaho’s black Benz. The third would be the white van driven by Katsuko-san
Margo-san gives all the instructions to escape from school.
Today’s white van is pasted withMaruko stage clothesin magnets. They’ve prepared more equipment in the white van than usual probably in case of unforeseen circumstances.
Since we’ll always be having the order of first to third car and the second one would be enclosed.the three cars will always go together from the signals Okay?
Margo-san tells Katsuko-nee.
Yes, roger
It would be our loss if the enemy caught Minaho or Nei. That’s why Nei would be on the second car. Kudou-san, as you’re the second guard, you’ll be on the same second car. Megu-chan and Mana-chan too The driver of the Benz is Minaho-neesan. Michi on the passenger seat. Back Seat: Nei-san, Megu and Mana. That’s all.
Yoshida-kun will be with me on the first car. Yukino-san will be with Katsuko-san on the third car
When it’s decided that she’ll be away from me, Yukino’s face turned cloudy immediately.
Now, get in!
Katsuko-nee orders Yukino with cold eyes.
Yukino gets in the van with a gloomy face. Katsuko-nee puts on Yukino’s handcuffs immediately. It’s connected to the steel pipe inside the van.
I hate people complaining when I’m driving so be quiet. You do know what this is don’t you?
Katsuko-nee shows a stun gun to Yukino.
.i know
Yukino who has experienced electric shock several times in these past few days became docile at once.
Come Yoshida-kun get in
Margo-san gently talked to me who’s looking at Yukino.
Then, later Onii-chan!
Mana shows her face from the window and told me brightly.
Yoshi-kun, take care
It’s fine. We’ll be acting together even if we’re in separate cars
I told Megu.
Michi.take care of everyone
.Certainly
I sit on the passenger seat of the Maserati
Sorry, Yoshida-kun
Margo-san speaks while fastening her seatbelt.
.What?
The Benz and the van in the back are bulletproof but this car can’t sacrifice mobility by making the car heavy. There’s no way to prevent if we’re shot
I see.so the cars on the back are sturty.
It can’t be helped. At that time, we’ll just deal with it
I answered.
Yoshida-kun, please watch the surroundings. Especially when waiting for the traffic lights, they might pretend to be a pedestrian closing to us so pay attention
.Yes Well, Kudou-san’s father would be joining the guards too though
Margo-san wears leather gloves.
.Now then
Maserati’s engine starts lightly.
Immediately after, the engines of the two cars started. Margo-san opens the hidden garage shutter wirelessly. May sunshine pours down over us.
OK.Let’s go!
The three cars go outside!
Kudou-papa greets us outside the back gate of the school.
Titan boy driven by Tony-kun.Norma-san’s driving a yellow Prius. Then, Kudou-papa’s on his Vespa. Coming out of the school grounds.Norma-san’s Prius began driving in front of the Maserati, the first car. Norma-san seems to be our guide. We left the route to theNational Theaterto Kudou-papa.so we’re going to go after Norma’s Prius. Norma-san never accelerates the speed, she puts the blinker ahead of time as soon as possible then shows us the direction of the turn. Kudou-papa’s Vespa is sticking on the side of the Benz, the second car. With this, even if a suspicious person approaches while we’re waiting the traffic light, it can be dealt with immediately. The Titan Boy is following behind Car 3. Even if there’s a sudden attack from behind, with Titan boy and the two bulletproof vehicles can manage somehow. We run towards the center of the city as 5 cars + 1 Vespa sticking together. Of course, it can be seen as a guarded vehicle now.Neko-san and Kudou-papa’s subordinates are following us while not leaving our car line.
How much is the possibility that the enemy would attack on road?
I asked Margo-san.
In this case, there’s no meaning in thinking of the possibility. It depends on the enemy whether they would attack or not
Margo-san said with a smile.
However, we can only just hope now that we reach theNational Theateras soon as possible. The closer we are at thenational theaterthe harder it is for the enemy to attack
.Why? Yoshida-kun, do you know where theNational Theateris?
.I
No, I don’t
It’s in the side of the moat of the imperial palace. Next would be the Supreme Court.the center of Japan. It’s close to the National Diet Building and the Japanese government departments
Oh.that’s why the security’s strict.
Then.from the information I’ve heard a while ago, It seems that the undersecretary of the Commerce Department in the us would be coming to Japan for the Konpeki school presentation today
.Ambassador?
It seems that the undersecretary’s daughter is learning Japanese dance in US. Their teacher seems to be a disciple of the Konpeki school. Therefore, they came with the official stance of courtesy call with his family.
.Official stance?
Actually, he wants to make a secret conversation with Kouzuki-san about Japan’s political and business world. Today, the people gathered would be the people showing up in the US-Japan economic summit .Then that means?
There should be police officials, public security officials, and even America’s secret service and US Military around theNational theater
Also.the guards of the famous houses.
What about Cesario Viola?
Naturally, Kouzuki security service is reporting to public peace. Viola’s an American criminal. I’ve thrown fake information thatIt’s possible that Viola will come to assassinate the undersecretary in US!
.Eh?
If a senior US government official visiting Japan is killed.Japan’s face would be ruined. Everyone from America’s security too. I think everyone will desperately stop Viola
Margo-san’s mouth is smiling but.
Her eyes are serious.
Therefore.to be honest, if we go to theNational Theaterdon’t be so worried. The decisive battle would be at the night hotel however
The first class hotel downtown owned by the Kouzuki family
Kouzuki security service would be the only protection from there.
It is as Margo-san says.
As we approach the center of the city, we see more police cars. It seems that they’re inspecting here and there. Our convoy was also stopped by the police, Kudou-papa made the young policeman rage for a bit but we managed somehow. Somehow, the 5 cars + Vespa arrived in front of the National Theater. Even at the entrance of the theater.of course, there was inspection too. First, Nroma-san talked to the person in charge of examination.
.We somehow arrived safely
Margo-san sighs.
As expected, she’s nervous.
I’m still not trained well
She said.
If it was Kyouko-san, she would be joking to calm everyone down but.I can’t think of anything at the moment
.No
Margo-san normally doesn’t joke, right?
Kyouko-san is holding Shirasaka Sousuke in Australia right now, isn’t she?
Kyouko Dothnomechey-san, Margo-san’s teacher.Kuromori’sguard
She’s detaining Shirasaka Sousuke under Minaho-neesan’s order right now.
No, perhaps they’re already heading to Japan I think. However, we really can’t read Kyouko-san’s movements.
Is that so? She can take actions I can’t imagine calmly. Compared to her, I’m just a running girl.that’s what I really think. This time too, I think she’ll be coming in an unthinkable method
Though he’s released by the Australian police.Shirasaka Sousuke is missing currently.
I can hardly think that they will take a plane to come home. How do they intend to come back?
Anyway, it’s our turn now
Norma-san’s Prius finished the inspection and goes to the parking lot of theNational theater
Following, our car goes to the inspection gate The person in charge of inspection is wearing a Kouzuki security service uniform. The venue guard seems to be mainly Kouzuki security service.
You guys from the guard department too?
Since we’re after Norma’s car.the inspector past his thirties seems to think so.
He speaks to us in a frustrated tone underestimating us.
.Kuromori
Margo-san calmly.
Huh?
The inspector seems he doesn’t get it.
Try to contact the headquarters. Say thatKuromorihas come!
.WhatKuromori?
There’s now way this staff knowsKuromori?
Just make a call and check it. We’re Kouzuki-san’sGuests!
Margo-san removed her sunglasses and looked at the man in charge with cold eyes.
You people?You’re not in the invitee list
The man in charge is still going strong.
That’s why I’m telling you to ask the headquarters. Why do you think we’re with the Kouzuki Security Service guard department?
Aren’t you people subcontractors of the guard department? Are you an idiot?We’re special guests of KouzukiKakkathat’s why he expressly sent the guard department from your company you know? No.there’s no way Just make a call. Go ahead and ask the headquarters for the nameKuromori Minaho! i’ll check it right now!
The inspector contacts the headquarters with a transreceiver.
Is it fine to introduce ourselves asKuromori?
When I asked, Margo-san.
It’s fine. You should show your power of authority at this scene!
Margo-san laughs.
Kyouko-san taught me before.
.Is that so? Yeah. It feels strange. Teaching what I learned from my master. Somehow, it feels ticklish!
The man in charge immediately returned with the color of his face changed.
i’m very sorry! Please pass!
His attitude has changed completely.
I don’t know if it’s KouzukiKakkaor Misuzu but.it seems that the security headquarters has reported that we’re coming.
We’re fine. We’re the same as you.a celebrity’s guard
Margo-san laughed and put on her sunglasses.
But.if you take that attitude to our master.you’d be easily losing your job.
The inspector turned pale.
Uhm.which one isKuromori Minaho?
Margo-san.
The girl wearing a black and yellow dress on the third, white van
Err.
That’s.Yukino.
Eh, she’s not on the Benz?
Margo-san laughs.
Our Master’s an odd fellow.
Saying that.she enters the Maserati on theNational Theater’sparking lot.
She stopped the car and waited for the next one. The second car passed right away. Megu and Mana are wearing a dress, Nei-san on her black pant suit is on it too.Michi’s wearing her uniform. But.they didn’t realize that the one driving is theKuromori Minaho When it comes to the third van.the inspector kept bowing to Yukino inside the car. Yukino’s dressed on a construction site color and her face changed to a plain one, she’s handcuffed to the steel pipe on the van. Margo-san’s remark ofodd fellowseems to have let it all pass. Katsuko-nee deals with it with her usual pleasant smile. For the time being, Kuromori’scars passed through the gate safely. Following.Titan Boy too Well, Tony-san’s a regular employee of Kouzuki security service. .The problem
What’s suspicious about me?
.Kudou-papa
Well, he’s wearing a red color shirt and lack suit. A middle aged man riding a Vespa.it’s suspicous
It’s fine, that person is!
A man coming from the theater called out the inspector.
Are you sure, director
That’s right.this man
He’s the director of the Kouzuki Security Service general security department.Yamaoka The one having an affair with Michi’s mother.
Remember this.that person is the special guard department manager, Kudou Yuusaku
Director Yamaoka speaks in a slightly foolish tone
Oh
The inspector nods big.
What’s with thatOh!
Kudou-papa’s completely angry.
Director Yamaoka knocks on the window of the Benz. Minaho-neesan opens the window.
.What?
Once you parked the car, I’d like some time to talk Very well.
Director Yamaoka is the head of the security department of Kouzuki security service.
Minaho-neesan also wants to discuss about VS. Cesario Viola
Where’s the headquarters?
It’s on the interior of the lobby on the first floor Then, I’ll give you a visit later Thank you
Minaho-neesan closes the window.
Well anyway.let’s get out of the car
Margo-san turned the Maserati to the parking lot and the other cars followed us
1. Nobody loves me, He’s just a poor boy from a poor family
Chapter 215
It’s late to ask but.is this okay?
I asked Margo-san when she stopped the Maserati in the parking lot ofNational theater
What?
Margo-san asks back while turning off the engine.
No.it’s still 4 o’clock
I look at the wristwatch I got from Minaho-neesan.
Misuzu’sKonpeki class symposiumshould be held at night. Anyone but the parties concerned can’t enter the theater before opening?
Isn’t it bad to come here this early?
Margo-san smiled.
Well, don’t mind that.Misuzu-san’s already here too
Misuzu’s already in the venue to.
Kouzuki Security Service’s timetable says that the performers gather at 1PM. They’ll have a stage rehearsal at 1:30 They should be practicing respectively at the lobby
Even though the symposium is at night.
Isn’t 1PM a bit too early?
Today, the students who will appear at the symposium are over 50 in total!
Eh.that many? Well, they’re starting from six years old. It seems that the small girls would be dancing together
I see.even if you say it’s a class, there are also elementary school students
Even if the scale is big, there’s no change that it’s a Classical Japanese dance class. However, everyone’s a child of a big name in politics or business.
That’s why.thestage rehearsalbefore the performance would take some time
Stage rehearsal? .They would dance in the stage just as you can see in the real performance.there would be lighting and sounds too. Then, they will repeat it several times. This is probably the first time for the younger ones to dance on such a big stage so they need to get used to the venue. Since the apprentices in the classroom aren’t professional dancers.it’ll take a lot of time to organize the schedule. They’re more than 50 people after all The actualpresentation.would take three hours at longest. And yet, thestage practice.would take more than twice.
Then.of course, the the apprentices are all from good family so they’re not coming to the theater alone!
.I see
Everyone has their guardian and escort coming with them.
Therefore.even if we blend in with them, nobody would think it’s strange
Minaho-neesan, Katsuko-nee, Margo-san, Nei-san, they look like they’ve been dispatched from some house.
Megu, Mana, Michi.they look like friends of the apprentices. The problem would be Yukino and me.
What do I look like?
I asked honestly.
I don’t look like guard at all. That said, I don’t have the character of being a friend of a famous person.
What is Yoshida-kun to Misuzu-san?
Margo-san asked with a smile,
I.
I am Misuzu’sman
Walk with your chest puffed out and with dignity.otherwise, it would be rude to Misuzu-san
.Right.
I don’t need to care about what the people around me think.
There’s abondbetween Misuzu and me
.That’s enough.
Well, you feel like a rich kid more than you think so don’t worry
Margo-san looked at my appearance then said.
That suit is tailored nicely, Katsuko-san’s repair is perfect too. You’ve got shoes prepared too, right?
Yes
This suit is Minaho-neesan’s grandfather’s suit, Katsuko-nee fixed it to my size.
The leather shoes, and the Y-shirt were prepared before I noticed. Katsuko-nee, thanks.
Well.the hall’s already filled with people.aside from the performers’ attendant attendant, the people from Kouzuki Security service would be in swarm too. You don’t have to mind it so much Your identity is checked by Kouzuki security service so your status is guaranteed Eh.that inspection?
But,there were only three people in front of the gate, right?
Well, if there are are a lot of them.it would be exposed that important people gather here today. That’s unpleasant to the eye. The big names mind that kind of thing. Actually, I think that there’s a group gathered around the gate when something goes wrong Then, the easy check we saw. That’s only a pretense. When the inspector misbehaved, they purposely lead someone suspicious to wait. That way, they can see the attitude
Suspicious people.
I get the reason why on Kudou-papa. Were we that suspicious?
Normally.when a person like that comes at such time, it’ll be shut-out completely. In an assembly like today.the mass media, journalist.or, a spy, or a imposter who just want to get close to a famous person.those kind of people creep in the venue somehow, they come in the gate one after another. The guards would be in a big problem.
I see.the cast and the attendants are supposed to be at the venue by 1:00.
If a man comes at such an unfinished time, it can’t be helped to be thought as suspicious.
Also.Kouzuki Security Service’s Director Yamaoka came out immediately right? He’s watching over a security camera
Speaking of which, he did.
Actually, they’re making second and third checks at the same time
.I see
Therefore.Viola’s staff won’t disappear in this hall.so be at ease
Margo-san smiled at me.
But.the theater has a lot of people working there. If they disguise as a cleaner, or a restaurant staff.
Margo-san laughs at my worry.
Yoshida-kun.this is theNational theatr Security towards that is thorough
.Is that so? Today, this reserved byKonpeki class.the stalls and restaurant are on a day off. Then, the staff in the theater and clean up, and lighting, are all people arranged by Kouzuki security service .Eh? .The people from the upper class like to go to the theaters quite often. Watching from the audience or their children on the stage. Therefore.Kouzuki security service has a department which holds staff that does theater work Everyone’s from Kouzuki security service.
In a genuine professional drama, opera or musical, staff for sounds and lighting that are not professional won’t do but.if it’s Japanese traditional dance presentation, Kouzuki security service can do it Margo-san told me.
That’s why, as long as you’re inside the theater, you don’t have to worry about Viola
.Is that so?
Let’s put Cesario Viola’s raid on the corner of my mind for the time being. Let’s concentrate on another problem for now. .In short. .Misuzu. Misuzu’s grandfather, KouzukiKakka. As expected, he’s not here yet. .Also. Today, Misuzu’sfiancewill come too.
.Onii-chan?
Margo-san and I aren’t getting off the car so Mana knocked on the window of Maserati with a worried face.
.Oh, I’m getting off
I forced a smile and open the passenger seat’s door.
Minaho-neesan, Nei-san, Megu and Michi are already outside of the car. Katsuko-nee and Yukino too. I get off the Maserati in a hurry. .Hm?
What’s wrong?
Megu asks me
Nei-san and Margo-san are wearing the same shoes
Both of them are wearing the similar leather black shoes.
Low heels.
Oh, it’s easier for us to move with this.we focus on functionality
That’s right, you can easily run when something happens!
Both of them looked at each other and smiled.
This is a custom design. It’s made according to the shape of our feet!
This also has the latest sports shoes tech. They look like normal leather shoes however .Hee Kudou-san’s shoes is the same, isn’t it?
Margo-san asks Michi.
Yes.is it easy to know?
Michi answered calmly.
We first look at the shoes when we meet the people from the same profession
.Why?
When I ask.
Yoshida-kun, take a look at the people’s shoes. You’ll immediately understand!
Minaho-neesan told me.
got it.
For the time being.I take a look at Michi’s shoes again.
This.the sole?
Unlike ordinary leather shoes.it’s not flat?
Yes. My shoes are for combat. The sole isn’t made with leather but with rubber. Furthermore, since my combat is limited to urban areas.this isn’t a military sole but a customade special sole pattern We’re the same!
Nei-san whos me her shoe sole.
It looks like ordinary clean leather shoes but.the sole looks like jogging shoes.
This is fine with asphalt and concrete but.it’s a problem since it doesn’t grip on slippery linoleum or even waxed wooden floor. The rubber shoe sole itself is special made. Because of that, the decrease is also fast.
Margo-san taught me.
The shoe sole Kudou-san’s wearing right now has the same material from what we’re using before I think. Want to test the bottom of the rubber? If you’d like then I’ll introduce the workman doing ours!
Thank you very much
So specialist guards thinks this much on their shoes.
Now, it’s about time we go
Minaho-neesan calls out everyone.
We head to the theater from the parking lot.
Kouzuki security service guards were standing even at the entrance of the theater but they let us through without saying anything.
It seems that all of the guards already know about us.
.Danna-samaa!
Misuzu came to meet us in the wide lobby.
Misuzu’s wearing a Yukata for practice.
I’ve been waiting!
Misuzu comes near me.
Yuzuki-sama.everyone, thank you for coming today
Misuzu bows to everyone.
We’ve arrived a bit early. Sorry
Minaho-neesan said.
Everyone’s myfamilyso don’t mind it
In short.we’re formally registered as Misuzu’sattendant
With this, we won’t have any problem before the theater opens. Looking around the lobby.girls in Yukata here and there are practicing independently. Each of the girl has a guard around them.
.Does Misuzu have anyone from her house coming with her?
When I asked her.
Father and my parents will be here at the opening time but?
No, not that.I’m talking about guards
Misuzu laughs.
Everyone from the Kouzuki security service!
i see.
True, Kouzuki security service are tasked to guard theSymposiumtoday. In the first place, the people from Kouzuki house would be the top priority. They even made Yamaoka who’s the head of guards, there’s no need for anyone else.
Also.Michi has returned
Michi stands before Misuzu.
.I’ll return to guarding Misuzu-sama
Please. Michi
he guard exclusive to Misuzu returned to her duty.
Then, I’ll be having a chat with director Yamaoka!
Minaho-neesan told us.
Information exchange with Kouzuki security service. But.I don’t think director Yamaoka has any information we want to know. Minaho-neesan said that it’s achat
Katsuko, Margo, come with me
Yes, Ojou-sama Nei.go with Yoshida-kun and others Roger!
Nei-san jokingly salutes to Minaho-neesan.
From a distance, Minaho-neesan looks Misuzu’s guard.and Nei-san’s a subordinate.
I think you know it already but don’t approach windows. There might be a guy on a lens
Margo-san said worriedly.
It’s fine! I know it already!
Then.Yoshida-kun, take care of them
The ladies along with Minaho-neesan went to the headquarters.
.Misuzu-saan!
From the entrance of the lobby, a girl carrying a cart calls Misuzu
What’s wrong, Kanako-san?
Could you help us if you’re free? The pamphlets to be distributed to the guests today on the rehearsal hall has arrived but we have to fold it into two Okay, I’m coming!
So the apprentices work on this.
They’re making preparations during the breaks from the stage rehearsal.
Uhm, Misuzu-san
Megu calls Misuzu.
Could you let us help out too?
Mana smiles.
.Is that okay?
Well, aren’t we.Misuzu-san’sfamily?
Misuzu and Megu looked at each other.then, smiled.
Then, please!
i’ll help out too!
Nei-san said.
Yukino-san will be helping out too!
Mana told her sister sadistically.
Yukino’s just silent all the time.
Now, let’s go
Michi stands behind Yukino then forced her to move forward.
We head to the girl with the cart.
Hello, I’m Horaguchi Kanako
The very mature and elegant girl bows her head to us.
This person is perhaps a lady from a good family too.
Everyone.are you Misuzu-san’s relative?
Misuzu.
Yes, that’s right
She answered clearly while smiling.
Hello, I’m Yoshida Mana!
Mana greeted loudly.
yoshida Megumi.nice to meet you
Rivalling Mana.Megu also introduced herself asYoshida
I’m Yoshida Nei! Nice to meet you!
Nei-san too.
No, is this okay? Since we’ve got Cesario Viola’s case.we shouldn’t give out our real name.
Are you all sisters?
Kanako-san asks in surprise.
That’s right!
Nei-san happily lied.
Ah, that one’s different!
Mana points at her sister.
.Err .What should I do? It’s bad if the nameShirasakaappears here. As expected, people from Shirasaka family won’t be coming after the fuss they made yesterday. In a place where it’s only celebrities.If someone calls themselvesShirasaka, everyone would think that it’s related toShirasaka house Then, when I’m hesitating.
This person is Kishima KurokoYellow Stripe Black Dress!
Michi said.
Wait.Michi Isn’t that just how she looks!
.i’m Kishima
Yukino greets Kanako-san.
Then, can’t be helped. Yukino’s Kishima Kurokohere.
Kishima-san’s quite an oddball so don’t mind her! She’s lived in foreign countries for long!
Nei-san warns.
She’s a returnee?
Kanako-san asks Nei-san.
Yes, she is.she’s been living in the republic of Val Verde1 for ten years until last year!
Where is that place?
.Then, This one’s Kuromori Kounosuke-san
Michi points at me and said.
.why? But.it would be strange to deny it here. Michi doesn’t look like she’d say a joke. Hey, can’t be helped.
.I’m Kuromori
I bow my head.
Kanako-san’s father is Horaguchi Fumiya an actor
Misuzu introduced her.
Is that so? My father’s a fan!
Megu speak out loudly.
My father.she means her foster father.
Thank you very much
Kanako-san seems to be used to this kind of reaction.
Oh, is that so? I also look at Horaguchi-san’s movies
Even Nei-san said that so he must be a famous actor.
I don’t know about him though. I hardly watch television nor movies.
Kanako-san.how old are you right now?
Nei-san asks.
Fifteen years old.I’m on my third year in middle school
Eh.she’s that young?
She’s very mature so I thought she’s at the same age as Misuzu.
I’m 18 years old but I’m in second year in high school. Don’t ask why
Nei-san said with a laugh
This girl, him and me are in first year high school
Megu points at Yukino and me then said
I’m in second year middle school! You’re 15 years old so you’re in the same year as Kudou-san, right?
Misuzu-san’s in second year high school.
Ages from 14 to 18 have gathered.
Then, shall we all work on this pamphlet?
Misuzu who’s the oldest speaks.
How many is it?
3500 copies
Wow.that’s a lot.
With this number, we’ll be finished immediately
Misuzu said
Where should we work?
Megu asked.
Saito-san said that the desk there will do
Looking at it.there are several desks for reception lined up.
Then, let’s go there
Ah, I’ll take the cart
I push the cart in Kanako-san’s place
Sorry.Kuromori-san
Kanako-san said.
Oh right, I’mKuromori-sanright now.
We can line up on the seats
Mana and Megu runs in short steps then heads to the desk.
Hey, Kuroko, come here!
As usual, Mana’s harsh with her sister.
Placing the pamphlets on the table.
We only have to fold it into two, right?
Yes, that will do Will there be a fold-in tuck today? Yes. From what I’ve heard.Yoshinaga-san’s starring stage.Emiko-chan’s movie will be inserted it seems. There might be others however Should we do that too? Ah, Yoshinaga-san and Emiko-san have their managers take care of it and they seem to fold it themselves. It won’t arrive until 5 o’clock
As expected of the class of Konpeki style.
There are apprentices who are doing business entertainment related. Then.
Kanako-san! It’s about time for yourstage rehearsal!
Another girl in Yukata comes from the stage.
Eh, Manami-chan? I thought my turn shouldn’t be coming yet!
Mayumi-chan and Toshiko-chan’s dance took more time than expected.Akira-san’sDojiji2was decided to be postponed Therefore, Kanako-san and mylight adjustmentis moved ahead.grandmother said Light adjustment.shouldn’t we be wearing proper costumes? That’s right. It seems that they have to check the color adjustment. Make-up is okay so you have to wear your costume as is
Misuzu interrupts the conversation of the two.
Kanako-san, go ahead.we’ll be taking care of this
Sorry.Misuzu-san Don’t mind it. Once we’re finished folding this.is it fine to leave it on the desk? Yes, Saito-san will be taking care of it later Got it .Then, I’m sorry
Kanako-san goes to the girl who called her.
Thank you Misuzu-san.the others too, thank you
The other girl bowed at us.
Then, the girls in Yukata headed to the dressing room.
It’s hard to run when you’re wearing kimono!
Nei-san said while looking at the girls running in short steps, worried about the hem of their skirt.
The one that just came is Manami-san.the headmaster’s granddaughter
Misuzu said while taking out a bunch of pamphlets.
What should we do with this
Megu asks Misuzu.
This one will be the cover so please fold it here
Un, got it.
Each of us put down a pamphlet and started folding.
Yukion’s the only one who’s staring at the pamphlet placed in front of her.
Hey, Kuroko-san.you shouldn’t stop your hands from working!
Mana told her then finally, Yukino started working.
By the way.Michi. Why am IKuromori Kounosuke?
I asked while folding the pamphlet.
I thought that it would be strange for Kuroko-san being the only not a Yoshida
True.it would be strange of everyone apart from Yukino are from the same house.
Four siblings.
Also.that’s what’s embroidered in the suit you’re wearing right now
.Eh?
I look inside my suit. True.there’s an embroideredKuromori Kounosukein gold thread inside the pocket. This suit is originally owned by Minaho-neesan’s grandfather.
Well done noticing it.Michi
I’m surprised at Michi’s observation power.
.Then
My my.what are you doing at this place?
Suddenly.I heard a voice.
I don’t think a prostitute and their family is suited to come to this place!
The source of voice filled with malice!
1. Val Verde is a fictional country or city used by Hollywood writer and producer Steven E. de Souza when his stories require a South- or Central-American locale that will not cause legal or diplomatic problems. The location first appeared in his 1985 film Commando.
2. Dōjōji is a famous Noh play of the fourth category (miscellaneous), of unknown authorship. Traditionally it is said to be written by Kan’ami and revised by Zeami, while others assign it to Kanze Nobumitsu; there are many variations in different texts, and a popular adaptation for kabuki theatre. It is practically the only Noh play to use a substantial prop — a huge bell.
Chapter 216
The girl who spoke badly against us is.
Dressed in a pink pantsuit.
Misuzu-sama.I don’t know what’s your intention taking that sort of people with you but.
She’s speaking coldly towards Misuzu.
Kouzuki-house shouldn’t be associating with people with that kind of status I think
I’ve seen this girl before.
.Aneue, please restrain yourself from speaking rudely to Misuzu-sama
Michi speaks up.
This girl overflowing with malice is Michi’s sister. Kudou Haruka. Japan’s number one in high school Karate, bodyguard of KouzukiKakka’sother grandchild.
My, you’ve gotten arrogant Michi, telling me how to speak up.
Kudou Haruka throws an eye of contempt to her sister.
Michi looked down in fright. .She’s bad with her sister.
I’m talking to Misuzu-sama.you shut up!
Once again, she turned her eyes of contempt to Misuzu
I am just want to warn Misuzu-sama!
She’s much taller than Michi.
A beauty introduced in TV news as a karate girl. Looking at her attitude towards Misuzu and us. Kudou Haruka’s got some considerable confidence. She’s on third year high school.much older than Misuzu.
I just want Misuzu-sama to understand her own position. Misuzu-sama, it’ll be a big scandal if you associate yourselves with people on a prostitution organization. When that happens.it won’t be just Misuzu-sama, Ruriko-sama’s reputation will be damaged as well!
Kudou Haruka blames Misuzu.
Misuzu-sama already has a fiance.please stop making contact with such lowlives
She’s on the high ground until the end.
Though she’s choosing words as a vassal, her attitude is clearly looking down. Kudou haruka kept speaking.
.Pu!
Nei-san laughs.
Oh, we’relow lives?
Nei-san replies to Kudou Haruka’s jeer
.Are you saying that a someone from a prostitution organization isn’t a low life?
.At least, more than a woman like you!
Both of them look at each other.
.Aneue.You don’t understand about the organizationKuromoriat all.
Michi told her sister in a low voice while looking down.
There’s no way I’d know? Living as a woman selling her own body, isn’t that the lowest?
Megu got angry from what Kudou Haruka said.
Everyone didn’t do it because they liked it! Don’t be selfish!
It’s something unforgivable for Megu who was born in a prostitution mansion.
My, sorry. But, it’s not like I’m interested in low lives like you. I don’t even want to get acquainted with you.I don’t even want to look at you
Kudou Haruka speaks in mockery atgain.
Then go there! Don’t come here!
Mana shouts.
If I can then I will. But, it doesn’t go that way.do you get it?
Kudou Haruka shrugged her shoulders.
If you stay in this hall.Ruriko-sama will see you. You see, I don’t want Ruriko-sama to see such dirty things as much as possible. Therefore!
The air calms down.
Even if I force it, I’ll have to eliminate.all ofKuromori’speople!
This karate girl.
She intends to drive us out of this venue?
To be honest.I don’t think of Kouzuki family.only Ruriko-sama. I’m sorry Misuzu-sama, but!
Kudou Haruka laughed.
But.Ruriko-sama’s the next head of the Kouzuki family. I think that we need to prioritize Ruriko-sama before Misuzu-sama!
Hmm. Ruriko’s a girl dissatisfied with Mi-chan’s relation with us?
Nei-san asks for an explanation.
That’s not the case.this is my own decision. I would like to take care of anything that would cause any sadness to Ruriko-sama. Ruriko-sama’s very kind so.if she discovers Misuzu-sama’s delinquency.I think that she’ll be in pain .Delinquency?
Her associating withKuromori.
Therefore.I thought of waking up Misuzu-sama’s eyes before Ruriko-sama discovers this!
Kudou Haruka smiles.
In ten minuites.everyone fromKuromoriwill be evacuated from this venue. Then, promise not to approach Misuzu-sama ever again!
Kudou Haruka turned her eyes towards us.
Especially you!
She knows my relationship with Misuzu.
I feel sorry about your genital but.I will crush it here, so your sexual function can’t work again
You meant to crush my dick?
When that happens.Even if the shameless Misuzu-sama would give up on you?
.Hey hey
I feel disgusted to touch it so I’ll use the sole of my shoe. I love the wordtrampling down forcibly!
She punches her palm in front of her chest!
I go in front. The other party says that they’ll use violence. I can’t expose thewomento danger.
My.I thought that you’d hide in the shadow of the women but it seems that you’ve got some courage. It might just be a façade but.or is it that you’re an idiot who doesn’t know the power of my Karate!
I’m okay being insulted.
Anyway.I’ve got to protect everyone.
.I won’t allow any more impoliteness even if you’re my sister
Michi stands up.
My, are you sure? I’m surprised!
Kudou Haruka laughs at her sister.
You know Michi.You never won against me ever. Even though you’re weak, you’re forcing yourself to be hurt!
The age difference between the sisters is three.
High school third year and middle school third year.the difference in physical ability is big. On top of that.they know each other’s skills. .But
.Michi would win if she’s serious
I declared.
.Yoshida?
Michi looked at me in surprise.
Don’t be ridiculous.This girl is an incompetent one who ran away from Karate practice. There’s no way I.Kudou Haruka would lose you know?
Kudou Haruka.doesn’t accept her father’sKudou style ancient martial art
She doesn’t even know its true ability. The little sister who chose Kudou style over Karate.it seems she think that she only escaped from the pain of practice.
Or do you think that you can win against me with such a foolish martial arts?
Kudou Haruka speaks filled with self confidence.
I wonder, I think Mii-chan will win
Nei-san said.
I also think that Michi-san will win!
Megu speaks seriously for Michi’s sake.
.I
.Michi. You never won against your sister she said.it’s on Karate match anyway right?
Michi looks at me.
Isn’t that obvious?I’m using Karate!
Kudou Haruka threatens.
What?Then Michi would win as expected
Mana laughs.
Right.it’s not even on Michi’s level. This Karate girl
Nei-san shows a thin smile.
But.I
Michi herself seems to be really bad at dealing with her sister.
I can see an intense tension.
It’s okay.Michi’s gotKudou style
I told Michi clearly.
That’s right, Michi-san’s very strong!
Megu also cheer Michi.
Un. Mii-chan can do it!
Nei-san too.
Look, Kuroko-chan too, say something!
Mana slapped Yukino’s head.
do your best.
.What the hell?
.Got it. Everyone
Michi steels herself.
Aneue.let’s have a match!
Kudou Haruka smiled.
.Are you sure?
.Then
.Danna-sama
Misuzu ignores the tense air completely
She suddenly fawns on me. She leaned her whole body on me. She takes my hand and kissed my fingertips.
You see, Danna-sama. Yukata’s got a lot of holes in various places!
Then, my hand.
She invites it to the side of her Yukata and inserts.
.Please touch Misuzu’s breasts
I.
I touch Misuzu’s breast inside the yukata, under her bra.
Ufufu.this underwear is for the Japanese traditional dance. The fabric’s slippery isn’t it? Even if the kimono slips, it won’t be tangled!
I climb my fingers on her smooth cloth.
My fingertips is skating on Misuzu’s soft breasts.
Ufufu.it feels good when Danna-sama touches me!
Misuzu leaks out a hot breath
Ahn.That’s my nipple!
The firm feeling under the fabric.
Misuzu’s nipple gets erect fast.
Aha.it feels good!
Misuzu’s foolery has completely taken everyone’s breath away!
what are you doing! Misuzu-sama.that’s shameless!
Kudou Haruka yells loudly!
My, Haruka-san.you can’t say that an act of love between people as shameless!
Misuzu smiles with her fascinating eyes.
Are you okay with that everyone.if this continuers, Misuzu will completely monopolize Danna-sama!
Misuzu smiled.
Yadayada, Yo-chan’s mine!
Nei-san jumps to my front!
Nei-san pushed her abundant breast against me.
aa!Mana too!
Mana clings to my feet.
Rubbing her cute breasts.
yoshi-kun.me too!
Meggu holds my left hand.
Then she kissed it again and again.
.Kuroko-chan, you won’t join?
Nei-san asked.Yukino.
Err.uhm!
Then, Kuroko-chan’s left out!
Mana grinned.
No.uhm!
.I
Yukino! Roll your skirt and show me your panties!
If she won’t come here then I’ll just attack her and have her participate
yes!
Yukino raised her skirt and shows her panties to me.
.Her panty’s stripes. Yellow and black. Are you a daughter of a Thunder or what?
shameless! Shameless! What are you people doing?
Kudou Haruka lost her temper!
Misuzu ignores her state.
Michi.come here
.Yes?
She got startled as she’s on the verge of fighting with her sister.
Just come here already
.But
Michi’s still wary of her sister.
That person can’t do anything.ignore her and come here.
.Yes
Michi comes to us.
Danna-sama.pat Michi’s head
Misuzu told me with a smile.
.What?
My right hand is massaging Misuzu’s breasts.
My left is being held by Megu.
Your gentle hand.take it from my chest to Michi’s head.
Misuzu said kindly.
U
I puled my right hand out of Misuzu’s Yukata then put it on Michi’s head.
I slowly stroked the shining black hair of the 15 year old girl.
Michi.you’ve endured well being ridiculed
Misuzu praises Michi.
And.you did well standing up for yourfriends
Misuzu called usfriends.
Even though you’re bad at dealing with your sister, you stood up and showed courage.Thank you. Today’s Michi is my pride!
.Misuzu-sama
Tears float on Michi’s eyes as she’s being patted by me.
.You’re already ourfriend Ourlittle sister
.I’m unworthy for your words
The tears of the 15 year old warrior girl spill out.
.Kudou Haruka!
Misuzu calls Kudou Haruka while looking at Michi.
what?
Kudou Haruka who’s puzzled by the development of situation responds in panic.
.I won’t forgive you
.What? I’m saying that I won’t forgive you!
Misuzu’s voice feels overwhelming with strong will
i.what do you intend to do?
Kudou Haruka pretends to be calm but.
Her voice is trembling.
You mocked me. You mocked myfriends You declared that you’ll harm my most beloved Danna-sama in the world. I’ll never forgive you!
Misuzu’s face is smiling.
But.her eyes are burning in anger.
if you won’t forgive me then what will you do? Do you intend to report my rudeness to KouzukiKakka
Misuzu.
Someone irrelevant like you can be disposed even if I don’t use the power of my grandfather
She looks at Kudou Haruka with cold eyes.
That’s right, these eyes are. Minaho-neesan’s eyes.
Such a thing.Misuzu-sama’s just a high school student.
And you, you’re a high school student too Haruka-san, aren’t you? It’s a high school student punishing a high school student she can’t forgive.that will be all
Misuzu’s words were completely the same as Minaho-neesan.
I’m a Karate user before a high school student. I’m Ruriko-sama’s bodyguard
Misuzu laughs at what Kudou Haruka said.
For me.you’re someone worthless!
Misuzu’s words pierces Kudou Haruka.
misuzu-sama.you?
If it was me before.I might’ve yielded to your threat. No.your plan might’ve been successful. But, sadly.I have changed. I’ve become strong in these past few days that I myself would be surprised!
Misuzu smiled at Kudou Haruka.
.Those people hiding in there, get out!
Misuzu called out to the screen of the lobby.
.Does that mean?
I already know it so get out already!
Misuzu’s sharp words.four girls appear from the screen.
Everyone’s wearing a pink pantsuit just like Kudou Haruka.
.Ambush?
When I mutter.
No, Yo-chan.everyone wants to pull Mii-chan away from us. That’s why she purposely provokes Mii-chan so they can take her away from this place
Take Michi?
Got it. They intend to drive us out forcibly while Michi’s gone!
Megu said.
I see.as expected, they’re afraid of Michi’s combat power.
No, That’s not it!
Nei-san laughs.
It doesn’t need to be them who’ll push us out!
.Eh?
They’ll pretend to be in a fight with us.make a noise and call out Kouzuki security service guards. Also.today, there would be heavy figures in business world and the undersecretary of US will come, right?
.I see! If we make a noise in this place.what do you think will happen?
This four that ambushes us.perhaps, they will exit.
They can’t stay in this venue.
Anyway, they intend to make some noise in this place. Then, they can make a pretext to drive us out, right?
Then.why Michi? Well.She must’ve thought that it’s disgraceful to drive out her own sister!
What the hell?
It’s only for her own appearance!
But.what about Misuzu? Misuzu will be sent off if she stays with us right?
Right.
Before they take out Michi. They should take out Misuzu first.
I got it Onii-chan!
Mana shouts!
These people intends to humiliate Misuzu-san!
Humiliate Misuzu?
.Right. We’re just a secondary objective
Megu said.
.Wait Someone.please explain it to me.
Like-I-said!
Nei-san.
The objective of these girls is to get rid of Misuzu-san from from the beginning!
.What?
If she’s sent out.Misuzu-san won’t be able to show up in the presentation today, right? Even though her name is in the pamphlet.even though Kouzuki-san’s acquaintances will come, if Misuzu-san makes a scandal and can’t participate, what do you think will happen?
Misuzu’s name would be dishonored.
Then.this girl’s master, Ruriko-san.she’ll become the only performer from Kouzuki family!
Misuzu.stares at Kudou Haruka in blank surprise.
You thought of influencing Ruriko-san and my succession dispute?Kudou Haruka-san!
That’s why.Misuzu.
She’s preparing Michi to confront her sister. She purposely chip their spirit.
.I see !
An unexpected voice comes from the side.
When I turned around in surprise. Margo-san’s here.
Maru-chan, since when?
The fundamental of my work is to erase my presence you know.
Margo-san smiles.
.Misuzu-san, before you dispose this child
Margo-san makes a suggestion.
I think she should have a match with Michi.
.Un
I think so too So Michi’s inferiority complex towards her sister is taken out. She should win against her sister on a fair fight.
.Right
Misuzu answers.
How about this.Kudou Haruka-san was it? If this girl, there won’t be any disposal. We’ll forget all of your rude acts against Misuzu-san.
What would you do if Michi wins.
Megu speaks up.
.How about we make her a prostitute?
.Megu?
This girl insulted the women of the mansion. I’ll never forgive that!
If Michi wins then Kudou Haruka becomes a prostitute.
I don’t mind it if it’s just once but.I’d like her to experience the pain of being a prostute
.What do you think, Misuzu-san?
Margo-san asks.
I think that’s good.what do you think, Haruka-san?
Kudou Haruka.
.It’s fine as long as I win right? I will win. There’s no way the elder sister would lose against Michi!
Chapter 217
Michi, are you fine with it too?
Misuzu looks at Michi.
.I
Michi doesn’t seem to be interested in having a match against her sister.
Michi.do you remember what your father told you?
I asked Michi.
Michi.you should make your ownKudou stylealready
.Yoshida Even if the opponent is your sister.Michi should fight
Mana.
That’s right! Elder sister or any blood relation doesn’t matter! Just beat her up!
Mana.you’re saying that even if Yukino’s next to you?
Her inferiority complex is quite complicated too. I know know the reason why Minaho-neesan dressed Yukino horribly this morning. Megu and Mana have their inferiority complex rooted into Yukino strongly. Mana and Megu dress upandYukino’s dressed downso their inferiority complex won’t be stimulated. At least, if the preconception ofYukino’s much beautiful than meboth of them will greatly improve.
Kudou Haruka-san.do you know about me?
Margo-san suddenly speaks to Kudou Haruka.
Margo Starkweather-san.you’re a guard ofKuromori, right?
Kudou Haruka seems to have investigated about us just in case.
I’m only a year older than you but I’m doing this work for more than three years now. Let me give you an advice as a senior in the same industry.you don’t have the talent so you should stop being a guard!
Kudou Haruka’s expression turned severe.
.You’re just a guard of a prostitution ring, don’t insult me who’s a member of Kouzuki Security service!
Margo-san laughs.
.Sorry. I’m a cold-hearted woman so I declare the people without talent about it clearly. You should quit before you trouble Kouzuki security service. This world isn’t a world for a dull child like you!
I’m a Karate inter-high school champion! Which part of me do you think has no talent? That’s why, I think you should stay as an athlete. You can’t protect people. After all, you’re someone who should be protected!
Margo-san’s eyes are cold.
.This impoliteness!
Kudou Haruka tries to hit Margo but!
At that moment, Nei-san threw the ballpen from the desk to Kudou Haruka.
Here you go!
.Eh?
Kudou Haruka avoids that pen!
Margo-san’s fist appears close to Kudou Haruka’s face.
.!!!
.Stopping just before.
If she take one more step. Kudou Haruka’s face would’ve been crushed. As usual, Margo-san and Nei-san’s cooperation is amazing.
.You still want to go?
Margo-san smiled.
it’s unfair!
Kudou Haruka complains.
You.if you were suddenly attacked by the enemy, would you tell them that?
.Un
Kudou Haruka’s a karate player. She’s not used to underground work.
i was just relaxed just now! I will not fail like that in actual combat!
.Really, She’s no good.
We’re having an actual fight right now though
Kudou Haruka trembles from what Margo-san said.
If it’s you and Michi-san, it might be just a sister’s fight but.if someone from the Kouzuki security service tries to punch someone fromKuromoriisn’t that alreadycombat?
Margo-san speaks calmly.
Kuromoriis indebt with Kouzuki-san greatly but we’re not his subordinates. We’re an independent organization. Didn’t I ask you first if you know me!
Right.Margo-san is.
You know that I carry thesignboardthat I’m the guard of Kuromoriand yet.you picked a fight with me!
That is because you insulted me!
.If you’re going to say that.
Kudou Haruka insulted Misuzu and us a lot earlier.
But, you’re the one who tried to hit me, right? Huh.you don’t know? At those times.the one who made a move first loses
that’s false charges! I wonder.there’s this much witnesses, there’s no way you can gloss it over
Margo-san points at one of the girl under Kudou Haruka.
Hey, what do you think? Who’s at fault just now?
Margo-san asked filled with composure.
.That is.
The girl sent Kudou Haruka a glance.
I’m asking your opinion so speak frankly!
Margo-san’s words are calm but she’s not hiding her bloodthirst.
The girl.
Haruka-sama.this time, it’s our loss
what are you saying?
Kudou Haruka’s surprised from her follower’s answer.
In the first place.we’re the first ones who tried to provoke the other by insulting them so they would cause trouble.
.On top of being found out, Haruka-sama who’s provoked the same way and tried to beat them up, it’s a bit problematic Also.that one even took the trouble of stopping right before it hits Even morally, the one talking is right.
The four followers all rebuked Kudou Haruka.
ーIs what everyone’s saying though?
Margo-san’s ahead of Kudou Haruka multiple times.
Fundamentally, the experience is too different.
Michi.you should warn your sister
Misuzu who’s been watching over the situation speaks.
If she continues being a bodyguard, Haruka-san will die. Ruriko-san will be in horrible state too
Michi stares at Misuzu.
Therefore.beat Haruka-san
Michi prepares herself.
She takes out a white glove from her pocket then throws it at her sister.
what are you doing.Michi?
The elder sister’s surprised.
Aneue.no, now that it came to this, blood relation doesn’t matter. By my master, Kouzuki Misuzu’s decree, Kudou Haruka.I challenge you to a duel!1
Don’t be ridiculous, for sisters to have a duel! It’s because we’re sisters.I will punish you for putting shame on Kudou family any further!
Hearing that.Kudou Haruka
Michi.do you really think that you can win against me?
.If I can’t win against a person like you then I’m not fit as Misuzu-sama’s guard!
The two glare at each other.
.It’s definitely a 1 on 1 match right? They won’t be participating, right?
Kudou Haruka looks at Margo-san with suspicious eyes.
It’s a duel isn’t it? Then I won’t interfere. In the first place, she can beat you by herself!
Margo-san replied lightly.
Are you saying that I’m weak?
Kudou Haruka glared strongly.
That’s right. You’re weak that you don’t notice how weak you are
Un.on top of being weak, an idiot too. That’s what you get from practicing only Karate I guess.
Nei-san adds.
.The theater basement won’t be used today, right?
Margo-san asks Misuzu.
Yes, today’s the presentation for the classical Japanese dance so it won’t be using the revolving stage
Misuzu answers.
.What’s theater basement?
Oh, Danna-sama.it’s the underground room below the stage
Misuzu told me.
Then, should we do it there? There’s no other place to duel in this theater, right?
Yes.there are guards everywhere in the hall That said.I don’t want to go out of the theater right now
.Un
We’ll purposely make ourselves target of Cesario Viola.
Then, the duel location would be the theater basement.let’s settle this before thesymposiumbegins
Yes.I will act as the witness. Are you fine with that, Haruka-san?
Misuzu asks Kudou Haruka.
.Got it, I’ll open the lock
Kudou Haruka said.
Then, call us out when you’re ready! And, when you lose, you’ll be penalized as a prostitute!
Nei-san said.
I don’t mind.either way, I’ll win. In exchange, if I win, you’ll have to give back Michi!
Give back Michi?
.I’ll train Michi on Karate again. I’ll have to punish the little sister who opposes her elder sister thoroughly! This is all because of that foolish father’s brutal martial artKudou style.Michi’s corrupted Michi.
You don’t know anything.Let me show you my growth
Michi’s no longer hesitating.
Hmph! I’ll punish you.remember that!
Kudou Haruka’s going to underestimate her sister until the end.
.Then
.Oh, so you’re here!
There are two girls coming from the other side of the lobby.
I quickly realized that one one is the master while the other is the retainer.
While I was practicing with Yoshiko at the dressing room.you were gone before I noticed. That’s troubling!
The long black haired beauty smiles at Kudou Haruka.
Her height is the same as Mana.her face looks similar to Misuzu. As expected, she’s an exceptional beauty.she feels much more gentle than Misuzu. Somehow.the wordelegancefits her very much. This girl is in front of me.
.Ruriko-san. We’ll borrow Haruka-san for a while
Misuzu called out her cousin, Kouzuki Ruriko.
If I recall, she’s 15 years old.third year in middle school.
My.are you working something?
Ruriko-san looked at the mountain of pamphlets in the desk and asked.
Yes. Kanako-san asked us to fold the pamphlets into two
Ignoring the dangerous atmosphere just now.Misuzu radiantly speaks to Ruriko-san.
My, is that so?Then, let me help out too. Yoshiko
Yes.Ruriko-sama
The retainer, Yoshiko-san looks like a high school student.
Like her master, Ruriko-san, she looks like a very gentle person.
.Haruka-san and others, you have to return to the headquarters, are you not?
Misuzu said calmly.
They have to make a reason to open the passage to the theater basement.
My.is that so, Haruka-san?
Ruriko-san asks her guard.
uhm
Then, please hurry up and go. Yoshiko and I will be helping out Misuzu-san here!
Kudou Haruka hesitates to leave her master
I’ll be protecting them here so I don’t think there would be any problems!
Margo-san smiles.
Therefore, go already and just return at once!
Kudou Haruka.
.Ruriko-sama. I will be coming back immediately. Yoshiko-san, please take care of her. Misuzu-sama too.don’t do anything unfair! Everyone, let’s go
yes1
Kudou Haruka walks angrily.
Her four underling girls follow her.
.Why is she saying ‘unfair’?
Ruriko-san asks Misuzu.
I wonder.Haruka-san is always furious in front of me.
Un, really, that girl just says what she wants, right?
Nei-san says while looking at Kudou Haruka’s back.
.Sorry, MIsuzu-san
Ruriko-san bows to Misuzu.
Don’t be.it is not something for Ruriko-san to lower her head for!
But.Haruka-san did something rude, didn’t she? That girl pledges her loyalty to me but.her methods are wrong and her behavior is always excessive!
This girl.she noticed Kudou Haruka’s true nature.
Even though Misuzu-san and I are not in a standpoint where we’re in a conflict. Inside Haruka-san’s head, we’re supposed to be rivals.
As expected.Kuodu Haruka’s acting on her own,
If I’m a bit more firm.then I think I can stop her action in advance. I’m sorry. I’ve caused Misuzu-san inconvenience!
Ruriko-san’s worried about Misuzu from the bottom of her heart.
.I think she’s not a bad child.
Don’t mind it. We’re cousins. Also, everyone helped me out!
Misuzu introduces us to Ruriko.
Starting there, Margo-san. Nei-san.w Megumi-san Mana-san.
Each of them bows to Ruriko.
Ruriko-san replies with a bow to each of them too.
.Then
When she reached Yukino, Misuzu stopped speaking.
.Kishima Kuroko-san
Michi speaks instead of Misuzu.
Oh right, Kuroko-san!
My, wearing yellow and black dress, it suits your name very much!
Yukino didn’t say anything, she just has a downhearted face.
Still, she bows to Ruriko-san. Ruriko-san’s the only daughter of the eldest son of KouzukiKakka. She knows that she’s an Ojou-sama among Ojou-sama’s when it comes to nobility. Or rather, hearing Ruriko-san talk this close .She’s surely aSuper sheltered lady Blandly and softly. There’s no evil at all. She smiles at Yukino with a very innocent face.
.And
Misuzu looks at my eyes.
.Kuromori Kounosuke
I introduced myself.
It’s fine to know my real name if it’s just Ruriko-san but. Her retainer, Yoshiko-san’s here. I thought that it’s better to call myselfKuromoriin this case. Misuzu also took care not to say the last name of the girls.
.Everyone’s Misuzu-san’s friend
Ruriko-san said.
Family!
Misuzu answered.
.Family?
Yes.family
Misuzu spreads the pamphlet without saying anything else.
Then.should we work?
Sitting side by side on the table.everyone begins to work at the pamphlets.
If we have this number, we’ll finish this immediately.
Yoshiko-san said.
Wait, Maru-chan.that’s crooked. You should alight the corners then fold!
Ah, sorry sorry! American’s are the only one bad at this things!
Nei-san and Margo-san are messing around.
Wait wait.Kuroko-san, do it firmly!
eeh? Really, you’re so bad!
Mana’s scolding her sister again.
.Megu. She’s working at an amazing speed. Furthemore, it’s delicate.
.Megu?
Ah.what? Yoshi-kun? You’re working so amazingly though? Well.I’ve been the class representative often before so I’m used to this. Also.I’m the type that gets immersed when concentrating.
Speaking of which, a while ago.she just kept folding the pamphlets without talking to anyone.
Somehow.it’s such a simple talk but each of their persinality comes out. .Misuzu’s working on almost the same speed as Megu. But, she still has the composure to talk to Ruriko-san while working. Everyone here has different personality Ruriko-san’s very careful but very slow. On the time where others can finish at five.she somehow completes one.
Horahora, Ruriko-sama.if you match the corners in here, you can do it smoothly.
Yoshiko-san’s also terribly slow. She’s boundlessly careful though.
.Misuzu-san
Ruriko-san speaks up while continuing her work.
Nadeshiko-sensei praised Misuzu-san’s progress these past few days!
I’m not making progress
Misuzu said.
No. As far as I can see, Misuzu-sama’s improving greatly!
Yoshiko-san said.
Even so.Nadeshiko-sensei has told us but
.What? She said that Misuzu-san might’ve fallen in love!
Misuzu’s cheeks blushed from what Ruriko-san said.
That is.by chance, today’s dance would be a love dance.
That is what Nadeshiko-sensei said however.Misuzu-san’s dance didn’t look likeA dance of a girl in loveuntil last week. And now.it’s firmly expressed as anadult woman suffering from love.
Suffering from love?
Misuzu.are you suffering?
.Then, I
Ruriko-san looked at me.
I have seen Misuzu-san holding hands with Kuromori-san during the other day when you entered the rehearsal.
Oh right.at that time.
From the second floor window of the Konpeki style rehearsal building. Ruriko-san and Kudou Haruka looks down at Misuzu and me.
Yes.Ruriko-san
Misuzu doesn’t seem to have any intention of hiding it to her cousin.
I’ve fallen in love with him!
She holds my hand tightly.
Megu’s silent work stopped. Yukino’s looking at us with aHuh?face Margo-san and Nei-san are smiling. Mana touched Megu’s shoulders.
I want to bear this man’s child!
My.my thoughts were right after all!
Ruriko-san’s eyes are shining as she look at us.
But.Misuzu-sama. How about your fiance?
Yoshiko-san asks Misuzu.
She’s right.Misuzu-san has a fiance grandfather has decided just like me.
Ruriko-san’s face turned gloomy.
We will talk to grandfather after the gathering today. Also.I’ll ask for his permission to be in a relationship with this man!
Misuzu said clearly.
My, wonderful! I will support you.Misuzu-san!
The 15 year old cousin is moved deeply.
By the way.who is Misuzu-sama’s fiance?
Yoshiko-san asks
Well.I can’t say it now
Misuzu answers then looked at us.
Please keep working.and please listen to my story
.Misuzu.
Ruriko-san and I are Kouzuki Shigetaka’s granddaughters. There are no other grandchildren. The current Kouzuki house has grandfather controlling everything.the successor of the family would be either Ruriko or me. Therefore.there are a lot of people who wants to be married to us aiming at the property of Kouzuki.
Un.
If you marry Misuzu and Ruriko-san.you’ll inherit a huge wealth and power.
Of course, there are men in the Kouzuki family as well.there are a lot of nobles intimate with Kouzuki house.politicians and foreigners.and relatives who are proposing to adopt their family to the bride. Ever since Ruriko-san and I were born.
That’s already the talk even at baby stage.
If this continues.a battle will start. Ruriko-san and my safety would be threatened. Therefore.grandfather had decided ourfianceamong the Kouzuki family
Once the fiance is decided.the quarrel will die out.
However.it has never been announced who in the family is thefianceofficially
Eh, why?
Nei-san asks.
If we announce it while we’re still young.thefiancewould receive strong envy from the family. There might be people who’d try to kill him. Therefore, it’s unknown who’s thefiancedecided until it’s announced .Misuzu-san, do you know who is it?
Megu asks.
Yes.I saw him during my 16th birthday
In short.thefianceguy knows his own standpoint too, right?
.Margo-san asks.
Yes.that is right
Misuzu answered in a small voice.
Since I’m 15 years old.I haven’t been told who’s myfianceyet
Ruriko-san said.
Thatfiancewill be coming today, right?
I.
Then.I’ll talk to him and break the engagement
Misuzu looks at me.
Yes.Danna-sama
Ruriko-san’s eyes shine, she’s impressed.
That’s amazing. That’s wonderful!I’ll support you! Misuzu-san!
1. It’s time to duel!
Chapter 218
But will Gozen-sama allow it?1
Ruriko-san’s retainer.Yoshiko-san said.
The vassal of the noble Kouzuki house, calls KouzukiKakkaGozen-sama
Gozen-sama, once he has decided on something, it’s not something that can be overturned easily. Misuzu-sama is still young, isn’t it better to take a look at the situation and take time top persuade him so he can understand?
Yoshiko-san’s suggestion is reasonable but.
Then.won’t that be impolite for my currentfiance?
Misuzu said.
True, even though Misuzu doesn’t intend to get married with him in the future.it feels sorry for the man who thinksI’m her fiancewithout knowing anything.
Besides.I myself can’t endure the reality that I have afianceother than this one
Misuzu looks at me.
I want to live with this gentleman
Nei-san and Margo-san’s looking at us amusingly.
Megu and Mana have a slightly complicated face. Yukino, her mouth is opened wide. I.what kind of face I’m making right now?
I might be disowned by grandfather after this. I might be banished from Kouzuki house today. But still, I don’t mind. I know that even if I became just my body alone, I know that this gentleman will accept me.
Misuzu’s prepared for it.
If she’s disowned by Kouzuki house.she can’t stay in her home anymore. She can’t go to school either. Even the dance would be impossible. Misuzu would lose everything. But still.she said that she wants to be with me.
I’m moved!
Ruriko-san said.
What a wonderful thing it is.right, Yoshiko!
But, Yoshiko-san.
Are you really sure about that.Misuzu-sama?
She’s shocked in the situation where Misuzu might be expelled from Kouzuki house.
.Kuromori-sama too, are you okay even if Misuzu-sama leaves Kouzuki house?
Oh.this person.
She thinks that I knew Misuzu was a member of Kouzuki house and that I seduced her.
When I first met Misuzu, I didn’t knew which house she was born in at all
I poke honestly.
Even know.I don’t know Kouzuki house well. I think that’s fine. I came to like Misuzu, not Kouzuki house
Misuzu smiled at me.
Danna-sama.your hairstyle today is wonderful!
Oh, this?I thought that Misuzu would like it so I had Katsuko-nee fix it .As I thought
Misuzu leans her body to me.
.I love you, Danna-sama
.Misuzu.
Misuzu turned towards Margo-san, Nei-san, Megu and Mana.
I’ll ask everyone too. If ever I were to be expelled from Kouzuki house.will you allow Misuzu to live by Danna-sama’s side?
Misuzu asks looking at each and every eyes.
I don’t mind it at all! It’s fun to have thefamilyincrease!
Nei-san took the lead.
I am in that standpoint after all. If Misuzu would join in, I would be pleased to welcome you
Megu said.
When you talk about that, Mana’s the same too. Mana only has Onii-chan as her place to go after all. I’m completely okay
Mana answers.
I don’t know about Minaho’s opinion but.as an individual, I welcome you. I like Misuzu’s personality and talent much more than her family. If you go to his side, then of course, you’d be helping out in ourjobright?
Margo-san asks.
Yes, of course!
Misuzu answered with a smile.
Uhm.Misuzu-sama
Michi speaks up shyly.
Whatever the situation it may be.I will be escorting Misuzu-sama for the rest of my life. I will accompany you everywhere!
If Misuzu is disowned by KouzukiKakka
Misuzu and Michi would become members ofKuromori? the smart and sociable Misuzu. Michi who has a special fighting ability. It would be great if the two of them becomes formal members, .But. KouzukiKakkaisn’t that generous to allow that. She might confine Misuzu and separate her from me. No, he might just kill me. For KouzukiKakka, the life of a man like me is just worthless. Is it okay forKuromorito be hostile against KouzukiKakka?
You won’t ask that person?
Ruriko-san points at Yukino
.Eh, Me
Yukino’s surprised.
If I recallKiirode Kuroko-san, was it?
Yoshiko-san asks, Yukino;
.Kishima Kuroko!
No, you’re Shirasaka Yukino.
Or rather, you’re proudly calling yourself with that false name? Did she like it unexpectedly?
Right.how about we ask Kuroko-san as well?
Misuzu looks at Yukino.
Ah.I.
Yukino’s confused.
I.don’t mind it. Just do what you want.you two. Either way, you already thought what I would say!
Yes. Then, we’ll do as we like!
Misuzu answered Yukino with a smile.
Ruriko-san stares at Misuzu.
Understood, Misuzu-san.please leave the future of Kouzuki house to me
Her face is cheerful.
I am very happy. Misuzu-san who’s been holding back at everything for the sake of Kouzuki house has decided to make her happiness first. With this.I don’t have any more regrets
.Regrets?
I will live as grandfather desires. I’ll dedicate my life to Kouzuki house. As long as I can see Misuzu-san happy.I’m satisfied
.Wait
Hey.wait a moment?1
Ruriko-san.are you okay with that?
I asked instinctively.
Yes. I am a daughter born under Kouzuki house after all!
Ruriko-san replied with a smile that has no hesitation.
In the first place, I am the daughter of the eldest son of Kouzki Shigetaka, Kouzuki Shigeaki Receiving the legitimate blood, I’ve been prepared to take over the next generation Kouzuki house since I was born That’s right.this girl’s the eldest son’s daughter.
Misuzu’s the second son’s daughter. The current head of Kouzuki house, Kouzuki ShigetakaKakka.has no other grandchildren. Ruriko-san and Misuzu are supposed to be fighting on succession. When you talk about blood, it’s orthodox that Ruriko-san would be succeeding.
Misuzu-san, you’re very beautiful, you’re abundant in talents.among the clan, I do know that there are people who say thatthey don’t know who would succeed between Misuzu-san and I I know that there are people who plan to divide the Kouzuki family into two by letting Misuzu-san and I fight on succession. Actually.they purposely whisper bad things on my ear so Misuzu-san and I would have discord.
Ruriko-san’s eyes looks sad.
I, of course .don’t believe those hearsays. I’ve known Misuzu-san from childhood very well.I admire her as a cousin
I also love you, Ruriko-san Thank you very much. But.the people who speak selfishly just keeps on increasing. The cruel rumors spread, then a lot of people on my side misunderstands. They really think that Misuzu-san is fighting with me.
.Oh, that person?
Earlier.Haruka-san has caused trouble with Misuzu-san, I think that’s the reason. I understand. Haruka-san is just loyal to me.I am very sorry
Ruriko-san bows her head.
Raise your head. Don’t mind Haruka-san. We will be dealing with her properly
Misuzu said.
.Deal with her?
Ruriko-san looks at Misuzu.
I’ve thought that Haruka-san’s not fit to be a bodyguard for a long time. That person was first recommended to be my guard but I declined it and chose Michi
Yes. Then, Haruka-san became my guard
.I see.
Kudou Haruka’s a third year in high school. Nromally, Normally, she should take care of Misuzu who’s a second year in high school. When they do that, she can guard her even at school. And yet.Misuzu rejected Kudou Haruka. Therefore, Michi who’s in third year middle school protects Misuzu who’s older. Then that would mean that originally, Michi is supposed to protect Ruriko-san who’s in the same third year middle school.
That is why Haruka-san has a grudge against me. To some extent, that is the reason why she’s treating Michi and I badly. It has nothing to do with Ruriko-san
Misuzu bows her head to Ruriko-san.
Not at all. Though she’s older, Haruka-san is still under me. I sincerely apologize for Haruka-san’s impoliteness
No, no, it’s my fault.I wasn’t able to remonstrate Haruka-san who’s the same age as me. Misuzu and Ruriko-sama didn’t do anything wrong. Yoshiko will take all of the responsibilities
Yoshiko-san joined in and the three had a tournament on lowering their heads.
But, it will be okay now. I am thinking of having Haruka-san quit her bodyguard job!
Misuzu said.
Haruka-san should better concentrate as a Karate athlete. That person’s an athlete, she doesn’t have the sensibility fit for a guard
She’ll cut her down.
That is.I think so too. Haruka-san should devote herself in Karate.
Yoshiko-san said.
Actually.even now, she takes more time in her Karate practice, she’s been neglecting to guard Ruriko-sama.
Yes, Michi-san guards me when in school
.Eh, Michi protects Ruriko-san?
Thank you for always
Ruriko-san bows her head to Michi.
That is because we’re classmates. It’s natural to protect a close classmate. Especially, Misuzu-sama didn’t give such instructions likeprotect Ruriko-sama!
Seriously, this warrior girl is bad at lying.
I see.Misuzu has sent Michi in stead of Kudou Haruka who’s busy at Karate instead of work. Michi kept guarding Ruriko-san who’s always with her in the school.
I know the best how the school feels very suffocating for people of Kouzuki.
Misuzu tells her two year younger cousin.
Yes. You need to be in a generous attitude so you won’t receiver any slander from anyone. You mustn’t be very intimate with anyone as well
If you become intimate with the successor of the Kouzuki family.others would be jealous of that person.
Therefore, Ruriko-san has to treat everyone around her equally. .She can’t have a close friend.
The only one I can trust from the bottom of my heart is only Yoshiko.
Ruriko-san smiled at Yoshiko-san, her retainer.
Kudou Haruka.Even though she’s her guard, she’s not trusted at all.
The me before is the same
Misuzu said.
However, I do not have aretainer.My father hates the Kouzuki’s old tradition.
I see.Ruriko-san’s father is the eldest son belongs to the enterprise of the Kouzuki family.
Misuzu’s father.if I recall, he’s a high rank bureaucrat in the ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. He must’ve hated the tradition of Kouzuki house descending from an old noble blood. Therefore, he refused to put aretainerfor Misuzu.
I understand. I lived together with Yoshiko since I was three. If Yoshiko-san wasn’t there for me, I would’ve been devastated by the loneliness. It must’ve been very painful for Misuzu-san.
Regardless of her father’s will.Misuzu is KouzukiKakka’sgrand daughter, she had to fight the world as a member of Kouzuki house.
Envy and slander.she has to stand up alone from the self-assertive kindness. It’s very lonely
I am fine. Grandfather helped me out during the most painful times!
Misuzu said then.she writes the wordNagisain my palm
.I see, That’s why KouzukiKakkaentrusted Misuzu to Nagisa He believed that if it’s Nagisa, she’ll heal Misuzu’s loneliness.
Then, I have a lot of people I trust from the bottom of my heart
Misuzu looks at me.
From Nagisa to me. Then.Megu, Nei-san, Margo-san, Mana. Everyone’s Misuzu’sfamily Yukino’s the only one out of place though.
Therefore.Everyone’s Misuzu’sfamily, right?
.Yes! .I envy you
Ruriko-san said.
Ruriko-san, join outfamilytoo!
Mana shouts.
.Mana, it’s impolite to speak suddenly
Megu scolds Mana.
Ah, sorry
Mana bows her head.
.I
Ruriko-san’s already a family however
I said clearly.
Danna-sama?
Ruriko-san is Misuzu’s cousin. Then, she’s family to me. Isn’t that right.Misuzu?
Misuzu looks at my face.
.Yes, Danna-sama
Then, looking at Ruriko-san.
Danna-sama is very reliable. He’s a gentleman. He’ll never betray me. Therefore.he’ll never betray Ruriko-san
.Really?
Ruriko-san looks at me.
Please trust Misuzu’s eyes for people
Misuzu smiles.
That is.I do trust him however
Ruriko-san’s puzzled
I.I’ve always thought of Ruriko-san as my sister
.Misuzu-san? Though we’re cousins.right now, Ruriko-san and I are the only daughters who carry the weight of the Kouzuki house. I’m the position where I know about your suffering and hardships the most! .Yes Please call me Misuzu-oneesan .Misuzu-oneesama2 How does it feel?
Misuzu smiled.
.Then Ruriko-san’s face softens.
It’s strange.Misuzu-san feels much more close than before
It’s Misuzu-oneesan Yes.Onee-sama Then, Danna-sama will be Ruriko-san’s brother. Is that acceptable, Danna-sama? Un.you can rely on me on anything from now on, Ruriko-san
Hearing me.Ruriko-san’s face blushed.
yes.Onii-sama!
Misuzu looks at Yoshiko-san.
Yoshiko-san.that’s how it is. I think this is better so the rumors between Ruriko and I won’t be spread anymore but.
Misuzu worries about Yoshiko-san who’s been Ruriko-san’s long time retainer.
Yes.That’s right. I think that this is good
Yoshiko-san said that but she thought for a while.
There’s no clarity in her words. It seems that she’s doubting if this is Misuzu’s plan to ensnare Ruriko.
As mentioned earlier.I will marry this man. I don’t have any ambition on Kouzuki house. AS usual.I intend to have Ruriko-san as the head of the future Kouzuki house
Misuzu.made it clear that she doesn’t have the ambition to become the owner of Kouzuki house.
I’m grateful to you who have been watching over Ruriko-san since age three. Please stay by Ruriko-san’s side for always. But.I’ve also watched over Ruriko-san since she was born. I am the older cousin of Ruriko-san. I don’t have any relative at close age other than Ruriko-san. I’ve always thought of her as my little sister. The same as me!
Yoshiko-san.
.Please forgive me for my impoliteness
She apologized for doubting Misuzu in her mint even for a moment.
Onee-sama! Misuzu-sama has become my Onee-sama! That’s wonderful! Yoshiko, don’t you think so too?
Ruriko-san smiles happily.
Yes.Ruriko-sama
Yoshiko smiled at her master.
Let’s return to our talk.it would be dangerous to leave Haruka-san as Ruriko-san’s guard. That person is a very shallow person
Misuzu said.
True.I feel like she’s growing to become arrogant
Yoshiko-san who opened up suddenly complained about Haruka-san.
Did she gain confidence after winning the inter high school championship? The media’s been doing what they want featuring he as abeautiful karate girl Today too, she brought four of her friends in Karate club sayingI made a security unit for Ruriko-sama.And yet, she’s not around Ruriko-sama at all Those four followers are like that?
Today’s Konpeki style presentation would have a lot of celebrities coming after all.
Misuzu sighs.
Yes.she came in a suit trying to make herself look good in front of those people
So that pink pant suit was for that?
She’s really a small shot or rather, she’s childish. Misuzu speaks to Ruriko-san.
If she continues to grow like that, it’s clear that she’ll make a blunder and disgrace Ruriko-san sooner or later. We’ll have Haruka-san concentrate on Karate and retire from being Ruriko-san’s guard However, would that obstinate one easily quit? That person boasts about being Ruriko-sama’s guard
Yoshiko-san asks in worry.
Boasting.she must be thinking that it’s astatus Nevertheless.she’s neglecting her job which is to protect her master.
It’s okay. Earlier.I made Haruka-san acknowledge to have a duel with Michi due to her impoliteness towards us
Haruka-san and Michi-san will have a duel?
Ruriko-san’s surprised.
.Yes. I will fight with Aneue
Michi answers with determined eyes.
Her hands continue folding the pamphlet properly. By the way, the only one’s working at this stage are. Michi, Megu, Nei-san and Margo-san only? Mana’s fascinated in listening to our talk. Her eyes are sparkling. She’s interested in the circumstances of the other houses. Nei-san doesn’t cut any corners. She’s a serious person to the root. Though her ears are tilted this way, she’s moving her hand properly. Megu’s a too serious of a child so she’s working silently. Even if she hear the circumstances of Kouzuki family, it’s clear for her that it’s impossible for her to do anything about it. Margo-san.she’s working while listening properly. She’s a person who can do two things at the same time. While moving her hand, her head is calmly analyzing the current situation. I’m together with Misuzu so I feel that it’s rude to Ruriko-san if I’m working on something so.sorry but I stopped my hands. Then, Yukino’s just staring on top of the desk absentmindedly. Why am I here?her face says. That feeling.well, I can understand it.
If she lost to her little sister, Michi and broke her nose.Haruka-san will stop her arrogance. She’ll notice that she’s not suited to be a guard then concentrate only the world of Karate. We intend to thoroughly corner her!
Misuzu told her cute cousin.
.Michi-san can win against Haruka-san?
Yoshiko-san’s surprised.
It’s not unreasonable. Michi and Haruka-san have their age and physique completely different. Haruka-san’s strength in Karate is also known. She has never seen Michi fight with Kudou style I guess.
Yes. Michi will win overwhelmingly
Misuzu declared.
Oh.so it’s a duel
Ruriko-san agrees.
It’ll be fine, Yoshiko. If it’s a duel, Haruka-san doesn’t have a winning chance
.Ruriko-sama? .Haruka-san came to guard me with such shoes after all
.Ruriko-san noticed it?
Today’s Haruka-san’s wearing a pumps
Ruriko-san told Misuzu.
Yes.it seems easy to take off, coming to guard with such shaggy shoes, you can only think of her as an idiot
Misuzu said in anger.
It can’t be helped.Haruka-san came here for her promotion instead of guarding me today
Ruriko-san answers.
Therefore.we’ll have her retire from being a guard
Misuzu said.Ruriko-san;
Understood. I’ll leave it all to Misuzu-oneesama!
Ruriko-san gave her approval.
With this, Michi can beat up Haruka-san fair and square.
That’s how it is.Michi, are you fine with it?
Misuzu asked.
Yes, certainly!
Michi’s hesitation disappears.
By the way.Ruriko-san?
Misuzu asks her 15 year old cousin.
Yes, what is it Misuzu-oneesama!
Ruriko-san’s completely accepted Misuzu aselder sister
Ruriko-san.do you know the wordsex?
.Misuzu?
You.what are you suddenly saying?
No.I’m very sorry. I’ve never heard of it
.Eh?
.Never heard of it
Yoshiko.do you?
Yoshiko-san.
I’m sorry.I do not have any knowledge about it
Yoshiko-san doesn’t know it too?
Yoshiko-san’s in third year high school right? No, her face looks serious. Does these girls really don’t know the wordsex?
What isSex?
Ruriko-san asks Misuzu while smiling.
1. Gozen is a person with high rank, or a nobleman
2. Lesbians
Chapter 219
Eh, Ruriko-san doesn’t know?
Mana speaks loudly.
.No wait. Mana, not good! Isn’t it something that you shouldn’t say by all means?
It’s written on the immigration card when going abroad!
.Mana?
.What?
.What is an immigration card?
I asked instinctively. 1
Onii-chan.you never travelled abroad?
.Never
.No way I would
Let’s go next time.Danna-sama!
Misuzu clings to my arm.
No.talking about it in this case.
Look, after the column of your name in the immigration card.it’s a place to mark if you’re a male or female.
Hey.Mana.
TheSEXyou’re talking about is thedistinction of sex?2
Is that so, Yoshiko?
Ruriko-san asks the girl three years older than her.
I wonder, I don’t remember. Everything is prepared by the secretary in advance when we head abroad.
You’re right. We only had to write on the places where we need to be the one’s writing after all!
.Hmm
Uhm.is your overseas travel not a family vacation?
Mana asks.
Of course, we come with out family
Ruriko-san answers.
We’re still underage so we can only travel with our father’s
.Err
.How many people go with you?
I’m scared but I’ll ask.
Let’s see.in case of a family trip, father, mother, several secretaries.also
There are 4-5 bodyguards too! Right.therefore, we go with roughly 15 people each time. Even when vacation abroad? When overseas, we have interpreters depending on the country. There’s also a tour guide accompanying us Well, it doesn’t cross over 20 people
That’s not a family trip.
My house travels overseas twice per year.it also serves as a recreation trip for the secretary and bodyguards
By definition, it’s not a family trip.
anyway.I’ve never seenSEXwritten as the distinction of sexuality.
Uhm.Ruriko-san, do you watch television?
Nei-san asks timidly.
No.not even once
Ah.as expected.
You don’t watch news either?
Nei-san asks further.
Yes.I’m supposed to not know anything about politics or social matters
Eh, why?
Ruriko-san.
I’m the symbol of Kouzuki house. If I become familiar with the society.it is likely to trouble my husband in future. I will inherit the Kouzuki house but I will not interfere with the enterprise under Kouzuki at all. I will leave the management to the specialists.that is the education I received She’s shut from the information about the world?
Ah.But, I’m allowed when it’s within the school’s scope of study. I know how society and politics work. I’ve learned modern history in textbooks too.
She’s the type that saysI only know the theory.
You’re not reading books or novels?
Megu asks.
No, I like books. I enjoy the books in the library at house!
There’s a library in your house? Yes. All of the books I read were selected by grandfather.Yoshiko and I enjoy the book sin library in order3
Even the books.they only read what KouzukiKakkachose.
By the way.what is Ruriko-san’s most liked book?
Nei-san asks.
What Men Live Bywritten by Tolstoy
Unfortunately, I haven’t read that.
You do not read magazines or something?
Mana asks.
Yes, I try not to see such things
Uhm.how do you decide your clothes or hairstyle?
This time, Megu.
That is.Yoshiko and I have father’s stylist chose our clothing.we wear as instructed by that person
Our hair too.we leave it to the haidresser
These two doesn’t have freedom of choice.
No, it’s not only one who has no freedom so they’re not frustrated. Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san.if they’re together then they won’t feel it as odd.
Today was fun isn’t it.Yoshiko?
Ruriko-san asks her retainer.
Being able to talk to so many people .
Yes.Ruriko-sama
.eeh?
Our school always have the same faces since kindergarten after all.
Misuzu explains.
There are some new students at the time of first years in elementary and middle school but.most of them came from kindergarten
Yoshiko-san supplements
I have this personality.I’m not very detailed with the trends so the people I can talk to gradually decreases too
Well.right.
As the age of the girls rise, their conversation won’t get engaged gradually.
Are you not lonely?
Megu asks.
Lonely? I am always with Yoshiko except during class. Michi-san is in the class so I have no idea why you think I’m lonely
You’re always together? Yes, I live together with Yoshiko.oh, our bedrooms are different however Ruriko-sama and I have been sleeping on the same bed till elementary but.since middle school student’s an adult, I’m taking a rest on a different room It makes me a bit lonely however.
.Hmm
Yoshiko-san’s completely devoting her life to Ruriko-san. No, I should assume that’s normal. Since Ruriko-san’s three years old, Yoshiko-san’s 6.they’ve always been together.
Mana slept with Megu-oneechan and Onii-chan in the same bed until morning the other day
Mana suddenly said.
Are you talking about when we stayed at Tamayo-san’s love hotel? Rather than staying together until morning.didn’t we just have sex that time?
If you say that, Yo-chan and I sleep embracing each other!
Nei-san said then laughed.
.That happened too. Yukino’s sending a glance over here. Oh.when I first raped Yukino, we stayed together until morning too. Misuzu noticed my expression.
Danna-sama.please stay with Misuzu overnight too
Oh.sure Don’t say sure! Misuzu wants to monopolize Danna-sama at night! Yeah, got it
I laughed and replied.
Ah, Mana wants to stay together overnight just the two of us too!
Let’s make an even schedule
Mana and Megu said.
Right. You should give a day to Katsun and Nagisa-san too
Nei-san answered with a serious face.
But, I think it’s fun if everyone’s together at night
Mana gives her opinion.
Let’s make that day too. But.I also want a night to monopolize Yoshi-kun
Un, that’s definite! Let’s consult thesister’s associationjust in case Un, a general meeting ofSister’s association!
Megu, Mana, Misuzu, Nei-san’s excited.
It somehow looks fun isn’t it.
Ruriko-san looks at the four with a smile.
Really.what a good relationship
Yoshiko-san’s surprised at the state of the four.
It’s surprising for them to see that Misuzu who’s a member of Kouzuki house blends with the other three.
Yes, we’resisters We becamesistersby oath!
Misuzu answered.
My, is that so?then everyone’s Misuzu’sfamily, right?
Yes. Therefore.I’m not lonely anymore. Everyone’s as good as my family.no, we’re closesistersmore than family
Misuzu said with a radiant smile.
I’m very envious of you.Misuzu-san
Ruriko-san looks pleased.
Misuzu-san has a man she loves.and people she callssister!
Ruriko-san has Yoshiko-san.she’s similar to a sister
Megu said.
Please don’t be absurd. I am in a position of serving Ruriko-sama!
Yoshiko-san violently denies it.
Don’t say that.Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san, enter theSister’s associationtoo! Everyone can stay together, eat together, talk together! I’m sure it’s fun!
Nei-san speaks with a friendly smile.
Yes, that’s right! Mana thinks that’s great!
Mana’s also heating up.
.I’m grateful to hear that however
.We are
Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san looked at each other lonely.
I have the position as the daughter of Kouzuki.
.I
That doesn’t matter to us
Misuzu looks at me radiantly.
Yes.that is unrelated to us.
.Misuzu-san
Ruriko-san’s surprised
Both the position and standpoint doesn’t matter at all for us. Therefore, we’resisters We becamesisters.we have formed asister’s associationlike that!
Misuzu said.
As I’ve said earlier.Danna-sama didn’t know that I was a daughter of Kouzuki house yet.he loved Misuzu
Yeah.that doesn’t matter at all. I love Mii-chan after all! Misuzu also loves Nei-san! Mana also loves Misuzu-san! Misuzu loves Mana-chan too!
Each of them tells each other theirlove
I too love Misuzu-san
Misuzu also loves Megumi-san! Megu-chan, I love youu! Let me give you a hug! I also love Nei-san! Megu-oneechan’s always so kind.Mana’s thankful! I love you! Me too, I love you Mana! I love you very much! Maru-chan, I love you a lot! I also love you Nei! Margo-san’s so cool! Mana loves you! Mana-chan, you’re cute! Ufufu.Danna-sama, I love you! Ah, Mii-chan, you sly! I also love Yo-chan! yoshi-kun.i love you okay Onii-chan, Onii-chan, Onii-chan.I love youu ! Yoshida-kun, I love you!
Seriously.thesesisters
I also love you all. Margo-san.I love you, Misuzu.Nei-san, I love you. Megu.I love you too. Mana.I love you a lot
I tell each and everyone of them
.Then.
.Horahorahora
Nei-san looks at Yukino.
Kuroko-chan.what’s wrong?
Yukino’s.startled.
She resumed her pamphlet work.
No, who cares about that how about you say your current feelings?
Nei-san said.Yukino.
.hate
Her hands are trembling.
There’s no way I’d love that man. I hate him
You hate him so much you love him?
Hearing that, Yukino’s enraged!
I hate him! I hate, hate hate, really hate him!
Therefore.I
I liked you.from the first time we’ve met!
Yukino looks at me.
i.I hate you.
Yukino’s fidgeting.
Mufufu, Ruriko-san, please remember this.this is what they call a Tsundere!
Nei-san says something strange again.
.Tsundere? What language is that?
It’s italian
.nei-san
It’s when they like the other party so much that they’d say the oppositehate.it’s taken from the name of the ancient roman philosopher Tsundere Anus!
Is that so?That’s very knowledgeable. Right, Yoshiko? Yes.it’s my first time knowing it too
.Hmm
They have never met an innocent mischievous girl like Nei-san. They’re superboxed ladiesafter all
it’s not.I really hate that guy! I hate him so much!
Yukino shouts.
.She’s a tsundere isn’t she?
Ruriko-san’s interested at Yukino.
Yes, a tsundere!
Nei-san laughs.
Really.everyone seems to love each other.
Yoshiko-san looks at us then said.
My.I also love Yoshiko-san you know?
Misuzu smiles.
Of course.Ruriko-san too
Ruriko-san’s cheeks turned red.
I also love Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san
Nei-san rushes in.
I also love you two. Ruriko-san, Yoshiko-san. Will you be friends with me?
Megu smiles.
Mana also likes you two! Ruriko-san! Yoshiko-san! Mana’s just 14 years old and in second year middle school.please become Mana’s Onee-san!
Mana offers.
I also love you. Ruriko-san, Yoshiko-san too, I think you two are very honest
Margo-san said.
Kuroko-chan, what do you think about those two?
Nei-san turned to Yukino again.
Uee?
This time, Yukino’s confused.
Kuroko-chan, I’m asking what you think.
Nei-san asked.everyone’s gaze turned to Yukino
.they’re fine, I guess?
What’s fine, Kuroko-chan? No.these girls are rich girls and yet they’re not arrogant, they’re obedient.it feels worrying that they’re naive but.I don’t think they’re bad
.I don’t know why you’re looking above.
Even though you’re a daughter of Shirasaka family. Furthermore, how dare this woman who’s always so arrogant and troubles her surrounding say that.
I’m not asking your impressions.I’m asking if you like them or hate them!
Nei-san speaks strongly and Yukino;
There’s no way I’d hate such cute girls!
Hearing that.Ruriko-san.
Her face turned red.
thank you very much
Misuzu whispers in my ears
Danna-sama.please finish it off!
I.
Ruriko-san.Yoshiko-san!
I look at the two of them.
I love you.Ruriko-san. Yoshiko-san too, I love you!
Ruriko-san’s face flushed.
That is.is it because we’re members of Kouzuki house?
I answered laughing.
It’s because you two are lovely girls!
Both of their eyes got startled.
I love you two as much as these other girls
Misuzu.Nei-san.Megu.Mana.Margo-san.Yukino.
The same as everyone?
Ruriko-san’s surprised.
Yes.the same. Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san too
Yoshiko-san.
No.I can’t let that! I can’t allow myself to be in the equal as Ruriko-sama!
Yoshiko-san who’s always been under Ruriko seems to be resistant to the wordsame
That’s from the bottom of my heart so there’s no helping it. I like Yoshiko-san as much as Ruriko!
Ruriko-san.
Wonderful.what a fantastic thing! I’m the same as everyone!
Yes, the same! It’s my first time being told such things!
Ruriko-san’s deeply moved.
Ruriko-san.Danna-sama and us loves you two. Just as much as everyone. What about you?
Ruriko-san looks at us.
i.I love you all too! Is it okay to love?
Of course. Love more and more! We’re going to love Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san more and more too !
Misuzu said, Ruriko-san;
Aah.Misuzu-oneesama! I finally understood the meaning of the word Onee-sama! I’ll join! I’ll join everyone’ sister’s association! No, please make me asister! Yoshiko and me!
.Ruriko-sama!
Yoshiko-san looks at her master worriedly.
It’s okay. We can trust them. They’ve been opening up to us all this time!
That is right however From now on.Yoshiko will become myOnee-samatoo! I. When there are other people, I’ll be the same as before. But, if it’s just the two of us, when we’re together with the othersisters.okay?
Ruriko-san who’s been lonely being alone with Yoshiko-san.
She’s completely pleased to join in thesister’s association.
Michi.it’s a good opportunity so join in thesister’s associationtoo
Misuzu called out Michi who’s purposely left out.
No.I am Misuzu-sama’s vassal!
Michi who’s lonely being the single person left out.
She still insist that she’s a guard.
I’m telling you to become mylittle sister.this will be your last chance
Hearing that.Michi
i’ll join in.please let me join in!
The end of her speech turned strange.
With this.you no longer have a hesitation in your battle with your sister
Misuzu said.
Even if you lose your genuine sister connected by blood.the bonds ofsister’s associationis eternal. I’ll become yoursisterforever. Join in with that intention!
Yes.Misuzu-samaa!
After that.
It became fun time. Everyone begins to work on folding the pamphlets again. This time.Everyone’s talking to Ruriko-san about themselves. Especially Mana talks about the dance club in her middle school. Ruriko-san is happily listening to the stories of thelittle sister’stalk as anelder sister Then.She also listened about Megu’s athletic club interestingly. Margo-san’s talk about US.Ruriko-san also talked about travelling abroad. .Happily. .Gladly.
It’s my first time opening up my heart and talking to people other than Yoshiko!
Ruriko-san said.
Then.Misuzu lets Margo-san and Michi talk about martial arts. Both of them talk about their simple story of self-defense.
Michi-san.she’s my classmate since kindergarten yet, it’s our first time talking like this
Ruriko-san feels admiration again.
I can only talk about martial arts however.
No, it’s very interesting!
She only has the knowledge on the area set by her grandfather.
On top of that, at the super ojou-sama school.she has a very narrow relationship with friends. It feels like every of the story feels fresh and interesting. Everyone’s working together and talking happily. The work of 3500 pamphlets ended successfully.
Ruriko-sama.it’s about tie for our stage rehearsal. Let’s return to the dressing room
Yoshiko-san reports to Ruriko-san.
Right.Then, Misuzu-oneesama, everyone
Misuzu stops Ruriko-san who stood up.
Wait.shake hands with everyone. Yoshiko-san too
.Yes? You’re going to be everyone’ssisterfrom now on!
First.Misuzu shook hands with Ruriko-san.
.Best regards, Ruriko-san
Yes.Thank you very much. Misuzu-oneesama
After that, it was the order of age.
.let’s all get along, Ruriko-san
Yes.Margo-oneesama .Best regards! Love ya, Ruri-chan Uhm.I’ve thought that you’re very beautiful since the first time I met you, Nei-oneesama!
Next.is me.
.Yeah, best regards
Same here.Onii-sama Please be affectionate with me
well.
My best regards, Ruriko-san
Yes, Megumi-oneesama! Thanks! Ruriko-oneechan! Yes.Mana-san! .Best regards Same here.Michi-san
.Err
Come here, Kuroko-san!
Misuzu said then Yukino comes timidly.
My best regards.Kuroko-oneesama
best regards
The two shake hands.
We exchanged greetings and handshake with Yoshiko as well. There’s no difference from Ruriko-san. She’s completely treated as an equalsister.
Then, I will return to the dressing room first.Onee-sama
Ruriko-san bows to Misuzu.
I will be coming soon after.
Misuzu replies.
By the way.Misuzu-oneesama?
Ruriko-san asks.
Uhm.in the end, what issex?
Ah.we completely forgot about that.
Let’s have that talk later.we’ll teach it to you when everyone stays overnight
Teach her when staying overnight?
You can’t ask anyone else okay? Danna-sama and I will be teaching you and Yoshiko-san deliberately!
Misuzu told herlittle sisterwith a smile.
Yes, Onee-sama.I look forward to it!
Ruriko-san answered with an innocent smile.
1. Hahahahahahaha
2. Because you can’t write Gender without triggering anyone 3. Give her BL doujins
Chapter 220
When Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san can’t be seen anymore.
Margo-san whispers towards her chest pocket.
Coast is clear!
.Then
Minaho-neesan and Katsuko-nee comes in
I connected the phone and sent over the audio!
Minaho-neesan and Katsuko-nee removes the earphones inserted to their ear then smiled.
Both of them were listening from our conversation with Ruriko-an just now?
.Are you sure Misuzu-san? Disobeying Kouzuki-sama’s will?
Saying that, Minaho-neesan’s smiling.
I don’t mind.this is the only for us to be happy
.Us?
I can’t endure to follow grandfather’s will and just become the slave of Kouzuki house along with thefiancehe decided. I will release Ruriko-san from that fate too!
Misuzu said clearly.
Ruriko-san is very lovely and a wise young lady. Are you sure about this Misuzu-san.in worst case scenario, Yoshida-kun might be taken away!
Minaho-neesan asks and Misuzu.
That won’t happen. Danna-sama loves hiswomenequally
My.you’re quite confident aren’t you? Yes. She’s my Danna-sama after all!
Misuzu smiled at me.
No.I
Misuzu.I’m just a worthless high school student you know
Yes. I understand I’m not even good at thinking That’s the best part!1
Eh.that’s the what?
Misuzu.do you like idiots?
But, Danna-sama has the courage. You have the integrity that won’t betray us. It’s no good if it’s not Danna-sama. For me.or a girl like Ruriko-san
.Err
I don’t get it.
She’s a girl similar to Misuzu-san.intelligent, imaginative and insightful
Margo-san said.
Un. She’s not just some Ojou-sama. She knows her own position and circumstances.thought of various people’s expectations, feeling their ambition, but still trying to advance on the road she had to live in Megu, summarized it as such.
True.she’s a much more firm child than I imagined.
You’re right.she understands the scope of what she sees. There’s also a sense of balance. She’s a good girl
The scope of what she sees?
Those girls have information completely isolated by KouzukiKakka.they’re genuinesuper-sheltered girls
True.they don’t have any sexual knowledge at all.
She seems to be ignorant of politics, economics, and social problems as well.
That’s right. They can only be seen asYoung ladies who’s ignorant of the way of the worldby the people of the world.
Minaho-neesan analyzed.
If you take time and talk to them then, Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san will gain true wisdon. Almost everyone who talk to them think thatthey are poor Ojou-sama who only has paradise in their heads
I see.
I don’t watch televisionor I don’t know about fashion Their clothes wereentrusted to the stylist and hairdresserafter all. Their conversation on girls of the same age would end.
After all, her favorite book is Tolsloy’sWhat men live by.
They can’t form a conversation with normal girls.
You can easily label them asSuper sheltered ladiesand set them up and it’s done. Nobody’s going to approach them. Since they know the horror of the Kouzuki house.everyone won’t say any bad thing!
Acknowledging that it exists then.ignoring it.
Then.Ruriko-san grew up with only Yoshiko-san as her friend.
Everyone doesn’t notice those girl’s true essence! That’s why people like Kudou Haruka underestimate them!
Nei-san said.
Kuodu Haruka is underestimating Ruriko-san?
They’re just generous Ojou-sama therefore she could do what she wanted. That’s why she came in a colorful dress like today and tries to sell her name to the celebrities by saying she’s Ruriko-san’s bodyguard That pink suit and pumps.
The four followers were for that?
.Aneue’s not like that before. As expected, when she won the inter-high school competition and made big by the press. Until then, she’s been steadily training.and recently, she’s looking forward to going to glamorous places!
Michi said.
The person who lived in a serious simple life finally got lost her way it seems
Megu said.
Oh, she finally made herdebutat third year high school! Of course she’ll become restless
Mana who’s been longing for the world of adults while being a second year middle school girl, laughs.
It’s a miserable story. When she’s seen on television, received fan letters, she’s completely in high spirits and recently.she’s absorbed in cosmetics and clothes!
Mana.
It hurts to have your sister turn like that.Mana knows a person who has an elder sister who’s a junkie at dressing up!
No.that’s you.
I remember Yukino’s room messy with clothes and cosmetics. But. What happened to Mana’s memory of Shirasaka Maika? It didn’t become a split personality did it? I’m a bit worried.
Speaking of which.Haruka-san and others hasn’t returned yet
Megu said.
True.I feel like they’re too late.
Could it be that she’s scared of Michi-san and ran away?
Mana said meanly.
That’s not the case.Aneue thinks that I’m weaker than her.
Michi said calmly.
Also.Aneue wouldn’t think of turning her tail and running away before thesymposiumtonight
She’d sell herself to the celebrities even if she dies.
Perhaps.she’s finding a plan for her sure-win
.Plan?
Aneue doesn’t truest everyone inKuromori.
I see, she’s thinking that Margo-san would be intruding halfway
.Really, she’s underestimating a lot
Margo-san grins.
Well.I can roughly imagine what kind of moves she’ll be using
Wow.Margo-san, your smile is scaryy.
I’ll leave that to Margo.let’s return our topic to Ruriko-san.
Minaho-neesan turns back the topic.
Katsuko and I didn’t appear so Ruriko-san wasn’t cautious
.Cautious?
Yoshida-kun, Megumi, Mana-san are in the same generation so there’s no problem.Margo and Nei are personally honest so it’s pure in a sense
There’s no sense, we’re pure!
Nei-san pouts from what Minaho-neesan said.
Well, even if I’m somewhat suspicious, she only thought of me as Yoshida-kun’s bodyguard.
Margo-san’s my bodyguard?
Since you’re introduced as Misuzu’s boyfriend.Ruriko-san thinks of Yoshida-kun as a son of a good family
No.why?
My face looks like a commoner.
.The suit Yoshida-kun wearing now is really a good one
This suit is something I borrowed from Minaho-neesan’s grandfather.
Now ay.did it cost 100k yen?
When I asked, Margo-san laughs.
You can’t afford it even with 1M yen
.that much?
This fabric is a vintage one.you can’t make it anymore so the price is invaluable
Minaho-neesan lent such an expensive thing to me.
In the first place, you had similar body shape so I didn’t spend that much time but it looked well. Even I am satisfied with my own work!
Katsuko-nee looked at the suit she tailored and spoke happily.
If it’s Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san.they’ll understand the value of this suit at a glance
.Is that so?
Since those girls have first-class observation power.Katsuko and I didn’t appear.
.Minaho-neesan?
A woman who have fallen to prostitution, even once will inevitably have a dark shadow with them The people who understands, will
.Right
Margo-san and Nei-san.even if they’re in underground work, they’re not prostitutes. But, Minaho-san and Katsuko-nee.
It would be strange for prostitutes to be together with Misuzu-san don’t you think? When I come close and Ruriko-san turned cautious of us, it would be bad. Even though Misuzu-san took her trouble to open Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san’s heart, even though she made good friends with you.
I’m thankful of your consideration!
Misuzu bows her head to Minaho.
.Then, would you like to tell me about KouzukiKakka’splan about Misuzu-san and Ruriko-san.
.Eh?
Yes. I would also like to report it to everyone!
.Misuzu?
Earlier.Ruriko-san has talked about the people who were trying to make Ruriko-san and I fight inside the Kouzuki house.
Un. I’ve heard about that.
That is grandfather’s doing!
KouzukiKakka.purposely let his two granddaughters fight?
As expected.
Minaho-neesan mutters.
So that’s how bored Kouzuki-sama is
.Bored?
Because he’s bored.he let his granddaughters fight?
Yes. Grandfather intentionally splits Kouzuki family by making them fight.I think he’s eliminating the bad people in the process
Misuzu answered with a gloomy face.
I think that’s just half of the purpose
.The other half is?
The later part is grandfather’s hobby. He intentionally had Ruriko-san and me brought up in a distorted manner.and looks forward to our growth
.Hobby?
Ruriko-san and I are two years apart. There are no other grandchild other than us because grandfather ordered so. His eldest and second son.each of them make a daughter. The two year difference is also calculated from the beginning But.isn’t there a possibility of giving birth of a boy instead of a girl?
I asked.
It’s now possible to preselect the sex of your child. That kind of technology has been established
Misuzu smiled at me.
Why does it have to be daughters? Normally, won’t he want a boy for a successor?
Misuzu.
Grandfather.I think he wants to make a disturbance in Kouzuki house on purpose
.Disturbance?
If the successor is a woman.the list of problems would increase later. Rather thanWho will be the bride?theWho will become the husband?has a bigger argument
I see.
Misuzu or Ruriko-san’s marriage partner can become the next ruler of Kouzuki house. Everyone from their clan would plan to send their own son.
But.Misuzu-san and Ruriko-san’s fiancehave already been decided, isn’t it?
Margo-san asks.
Yes.I know who it is. My ownfiancethat is. I don’t know about Ruriko-san. Furthermore.my partner hasn’t been publicly known yet!
Who’s thefiance.the clan would have suspicions.
He’s really shaking it up.
Kouzuki house has become too big. Grandfather’s opinion is that half or a sixth of the current scale is better
.He wants to restruct Kouzuki house itself Restructure? Restructure, it means rebuilding. Eliminate the useless staff and make it a slimmer organization
Margo-san taught me.
Also.grandfather doesn’t trust men
He doesn’t trust men?
Men today can’t be trustedhe says constantly. Grandfather is already beyond 80 years old after all.
In KouzukiKakka’seyes.the men living nowadays areyoung men
Does it mean that Kakka trusts women more?
Nei-san asks.
That’s where grandfather’s hobbies are built in
.Hobby
As you saw earlier.Ruriko-san doesn’t have any knowledge about sex. In order for other girls not let her know.Yoshiko-san, her one and onlyfriend and sisterhas been with her since three years old
Being together with Yoshiko-san.Ruriko-san won’t be lonely.
Since then, Yoshiko-san’s also been living with her isolated from information.she doesn’t question her own situation. It’s because she’s convinced that’s how it is. Just the two of them snuggling each other.they don’t hold doubt why they don’t have other friends.
Grandfather wanted to raise a girl with pure culture
True.Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san both grew up to be obedient and good girls.
However.with the information being restricted, there’s no difference from being distorted.
What about Misuzu’s case?
I dare to ask.
In my case.it’s the opposite
.Opposite?
When I was 8, grandfather showed me a sex scene of men and women
.Misuzu
.Also, the video of father having sex with his mistress
She’s seen man and woman twining at age eight.
Then.I felt completely sick of it. I became unable to deal with men!
KouzukiKakka.purposely gave Misuzu a sexual trauma.
Grandfather wanted me to become a lesbian.
Misuzu’s lesbian taste was directed by KouzukiKakka?
I’m really bad with them.I’ve seen men in their animal-like appearance again and again. I’m already no good. I can’t wipe off my disgust with men.
No.But
Misuzu.I
Ah, Danna-sama’s different. Rather than that.I’m no good unless it’s Danna-sama. The only men I talk to is grandfather and Danna-sama. I don’t speak directly to men even the teachers or doctors at school Eh.your father? Father.I haven’t talked to him since I was 8. When he wants to talk, I tell him to mail through mother
what does it mean?
I.at the times when I was most hurt isolated from school as the daughter of Kouzuki house.grandfather brought me to Nagisa-sama. I was saved thanks to Nagisa-sama
Err.working part time in Nagisa’s shop, right?
.Don’t male customers come there?
90% of the customers are female.if a man comes, someone else takes my place
I see.Nagisa’s been taking care of her.
Grandfather thought that Nagisa-sama would heal me.then, Nagisa-sama has completed my lesbian preference
Nagisa.after retiring as a prostitute.
After getting pregnant with a child whose father is unknown, Shirasaka Sousuke banished him from the mansion. She became distrustful of men. Then.then she trapped girls who hate men to lesbian acts in the shop.
Who would’ve thought that Nagisa-sama would transfer me as a pet to Danna-sama
As long as he leave it to Nagisa.MIsuzu’s lesbian preference will be strengthened.
And yet.Nagisa. She gave Misuzu to me.
I was really scared. But, I can’t go against Nagisa-sama’s orders.
sorry.
I remembered when I first did it with MIsuzu and apologized.
Danna-sama was very gentle with me. He told MisuzuI like you
.Misuzu? I.I came to love Danna-sama more and more. I’m already done. Misuzu will become Danna-sama’s pet forever Un.I’ll treasure you .I love you. Danna-sama
Misuzu snuggles to me.
I’m no good unless it’s Danna-sama. Other boys are a no. I don’t even want to talk to them. I only want Danna-sama
.Misuzu.
I grew up distorted according to grandfather’s desire. Grandfather wanted to make me a lesbian who hates men but.Misuzu became awomanonly for Danna-sama
We already have a relationship KouzukiKakkadoesn’t desire.
I see.that’s why. Misuzu will have to fight her grandfather.
But.Why does Kouzuki-san wants Misuzu to be a lesbian and Ruriko-san to be isolated from any information about sex?
Minaho-neesan answers my doubt.
Isn’t that obvious? She doesn’t want his daughters to be taken by other men
Taken by other men?
Un. I guess he wants to keep them under Kouzuki-san’s control
Margo-san said.
Just because he doesn’t want his granddaughters be taken away by other boys, he forced one to be a lesbian and restricted information about sex on others?
Like said.it’s his hobby
Misuzu’s eyes are in pain.
But, we can save them on the last minute. He won’t be violating his own granddaughters after all
That’s.
No, Shirasaka Sousuke was trying to do that didn’t he? Raising his daughter as he want then rape her. The girl named Agnes is still in the basement of the mansion wasn’t she?
But.what will happen afterwards? Misuzu-san and Ruriko-san, will you be happy if you do as Kouzuki-san expected?
Mana said.
Grandfather is enjoying it. Our joy and sadness.looking down at the top, he thinks it’s interesting
It’s like he’s observing a creature.
He stares at his granddaughter’s suffering interestingly? No.he purposely creates the cause of conflict. He’s trying to give waves of hardship to his granddaughters.
Therefore.Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san needs Danna-sama too
Misuzu looks at me with strong eyes.
.Me?
I don’t have any power.
I’m an idiot high school student.
What do you think will happen if both of them are taken by the fiance without any sexual knowledge?
Without any knowledge about sex.they might be turned to a mess.
But, Kouzuki-san won’t let that happen, right?
KouzukiKakkawants to mopolize his daughters.
Grandfather’s aged.he won’t always be healthy
i see.
Besides.perhaps, grandfather thinks that after his deathwhatever happens, happens.
This time.KouzukiKakkadominates the whole house and it’s well balanced, but.
If ever he collapsed suddenly.The factors of the problems made to distractKakkafrom his boredom will be bursting out in one go. Kouzuki housewill be turned into a mess. Among them.Misuzu and Ruriko-san would be crushed by the severe situation.
Grandfather is thinkingIf I’m going to die then I better take down Kouzuki house with me.
Misuzu said sadly.
Therefore.there’s no choice but to fight. Fight grandfather.and my own fate
.I
Got it.I’ll do anything I can. For Misuzu’s sake
Misuzu smiles.
Thank you very much. Danna-sama!
Then, I turned to everyone.
Everyone.please cooperate. Fighting against Kouzuki-san might be suicidal.
To my words, Margo-san;
It’s something Minaho, the leader ofKuromorishould decide with
.Minaho-neesan.
I will support Yoshida-kun and Misuzu-san. Either wayKuromoriintends to be get rid of so.as soon as possible.
Minaho-neesan said that we don’t have to worry about the influence of KouzukiKakkaagainstKuromori
If that’s Minaho’s plan then I’ll stay silent and follow!
Margo-san smiles.
Well, I’m the same. I’ll own a bakery so there’s no problem if we confront Kouzuki house!
Katsuko-nee smiles.
Uhm.MIsuzu-san
Megu speaks to Misuzu with her face turned red.
I’m the same.I’m no good unless it’s Yoshi-kun
.Megumi-san? I grew up in a brothel.I didn’t expect myself to be loving men in the future. Actually.I was on the verge of being sold as a prostitute by Shirasaka-san
In Shirasaka Sousuke’s plan, Megu’s supposed to work as a prostitute when the golden ended.
But, everyone saved me.and I didn’t become a prostitute. Then, Yoshi-kun loves me.therefore.I won’t love anyone but Yoshi-kun. I definitely don’t want being embraced by a man other than Yoshi-kun
If so, Mana’s the same! I’d feel disgusted if I’m going to have sex with someone other than Onii-chan!
Megu and Mana doesn’t know anyone but me.
Me to me too! Yo-chan forever!
Nei-san.you’re a virgin!
Therefore.I don’t want Misuzu-san to be separated from Yoshi-kun
Un, Mana will protest against Misuzu-san’s grandfather! I will protest too ! .Everyone
Misuzu’s moved.
Whatever happens, I am Misuzu-sama’s guard
Michi says she’s not following Kouzuki house but Misuzu.
Let me ask just in case.what about you Kuroko-chan?
Nei-san laughs and asks Yukino.
.But Yukino’s looking at a distance?
.What’s wrong?
Nei-san asks.
Those three foreigners have been looking at us since a while ago.
.Three foreigners?
Following Yukino’s glance. There’s three women with slender and tall body shape. The three of them are on their late 20s and early 30s. The two of them are twins? They look completely alike. Their face and figure’s completely the same. They’re wearing white pantsuit. Black shoes and black leather gloves. Sunglasses on their eyes and hair dyed white. Then, the woman in between the two. She’s wearing pure white tight skirt suit. The same sunglasses and white hair.
Misuzu.go behind me
Those three smells danger.
Un.Minaho, go back too
Margo-san and Michi comes forward
The three foreign girls smiled then approached us.
1. Taken from Persona 5
Chapter 221
The twin young foreign white haired women wearing black leather gloves, white pants suit, and sunglasses.
And another white haired woman wearing a white tight skirt also has sunglasses. The three of them stand in front of us. All of them have a face and figure of a model. The twins come at front.
Hello.I’m Government officialfrom America’s department of commerce. My name’sKatherine This girl’s my sisterAudrey
.Err
True, when you look at the card suspending from her neck. Guest US department of commerce They were checked by Kouzuki security service and passed through the gate However, she calls herself.Government official Anyway, she’s speaking broken Japanese.1 The other two seems unfamiliar with Japanese.they’re just looking here while smling.
Sorry.where’s the guard headquarters?
.Then
I hold down Mana’s mouth who tried to speak.〜
Mana.don’t talk
.Eh?
Mana’s surprised.
.Strange. I feel something’s odd. Don’t show any opportunity to these three!
Please stop the games.you’re scaring the children
Minaho-neesan spoke in Japanese.
I’m not playing.I’m talking seriously!
I spread my arms to protect Nei-san.
Megu and Misuzu.Katsuko-nee’s embracing Mana. YUkino’s cowering.
.Michi-san, don’t make a move
.I know
MIchi’s hand is already holding the handle of the red whip
Margo-san spoke to the three.
Let me ask your name once again
The twin who’s speaking in broken Japanese smiled then.
I’mKatherine Hepburn My twin isAudrey Hepburn.Then that one is the international exchange chiefVivien Leigh
Un.I don’t get it but.
Anyway, I knew that it’s a false name. You don’t smile this much saying your own name. These people have bad personalities.
Able to come here with that setting.Kouzuki security service doesn’t seem to be serious
