Minaho-neesan said like sighing.
Could you stop the stupid way of talking? You can talk Japanese properly right?
Margo-san said.
Why do you think so?
The foreigner woman asks while grinning.
.Cesario Viola has spent his childhood at the US military base in Okinawa, he had a setting of being able to speak Japanese fluently
Margo-san answers
Which of you is Cesario Viola?
Margo-san looked at the twins
She ignored the woman in skirt.
Wait a moment.they’re not, Maru-chan!
Nei-san shouts from behind.
Cesario Viola’s not among those women!
.un.
I’m surprised at what Margo-san said too. I’ve heard that Viola’s a master of disguise but. Can he take shape of such a young and beautiful woman?
No.that’s not it. Nei
Margo-san speaks in a calm tone.
These people aren’t theCesario Violawho came to Japan targetting Nei
.Meaning?
They’re a differentCesario Violafrom what we fought before
There’s more than one viola?2
The three women laughed. They all understand Japanese? One spoke in broken Japanese and the other two pretended not to understand. They’re all fake!
You got us, Miss Margo Starkweather. I wonder if that’s the result ofKyouko Messer’seducation.
The woman in tight skirt standing behind spoke in fluent Japanese.
Kyouko Messerit’s the underground name of Margo-san’s master, Kyouko Dothnomechey-san Knowing that name means.
Kyouko-san taught me not to talk to people who can’t introduce themselves properly!
My, excuse me
The tight skirt woman gives instruction to the twins with her eyes when Margo-san told them.
The woman who’s speaking in broken Japanese opens her mouth.
Nice to meet you.I’m Cesario Viola. My real name’s Fabiano Katou!
Then, the twin who’s been silent until now.
Hello.I’m Rosalind Orlando. Real name, Fabiana Katou!
Nei-san opposes.
No! Rosalind’s not a woman like you.she died! She’s shot by Kei-chan!
Nei-san must be having flashbacks.
Nei-san shouted strongly.
You’re right.The fourth Cesario Violahad that kind of case!
The fourth.Cesario Viola?
But, the Viola there has already been sent over his nextRosalind Orlando
The otherCesario Violasaid.
Right. Cesario Violaneed to be shown with his little sisterRosalind Orlandoin public!
The otherRosalind Orlandolaughs.
.What’s going on.
Danna-sama.you mustn’t take what theenemysay in face value!
Misuzu brushes off my confusion.
Right.this might all just be a lie.
Well.it doesn’t matter if you’re anotherCesario Violaand Rosalind Orlandothough.
Margo-san told theenemycalmly.
By the way.who’s supervising these two?
Margo-san’s eyes turned to the tight skirt woman.
That woman laughs.
.Who do you think?
Margo-san.
Either way, it’s another code name associated with Shakespeare? If I have to guess, is it Lady Macbeth?
My.I’m not that old however
The tight skirt woman denies it laughing.
If you’reKatherina Minolathen that would be helpful3
I’m not thatShrew Then.Cressida?4 I’m not a lass that flirts like her
The two laughs.
.Then,Ophelia?5
No matter how you look at it, naming myself as an innocent lady, isn’t that shameless? .Then, who are you?
The woman laughs.
Cordelia France
In short.you’re not the top but there’s still someone above you? That’s how it is.I’m just being used
Miss Cordelia answered.
Then.what business do you have with us?
Margo-san asks the women
It’s just a simple courtesy visit.we’d like to see your faces at least once
Coming to check the faces of the people you’re going to kill?
Yukino raised her voice hysterically.
Miss Cordelia laughs.
We don’t intend to fight you. There’s no meaning if you don’t gain a single yen, don’t you think?
Then.why did you come here?
The otherCesario Violaanswers
It’s to witness
That’s right, your fight with theFourth Cesario Viola
The otherRosalind Orlandoadded
Strange. Even theFourth Cesario Violawon’t be gaining money from fighting us
Margo-san said.
That’s right.even if he captures Nei-san, there’s no financial compensation. They’re completely saying that this conduct began from thefourth Cesario Viola’sgrudge.
The organization allowed thefourth Cesario Viola’stravel to Japan as promotion of activities
Miss Cordelia said.
As expected.they’re aiming to show the western, American murder organizationCesario Violato Japan.
However.thefourth Cesario Violahas already made a client contract in Japan
.Contract?
.Murder?
The person Shirasaka Moritsugu has asked to erase all of the people involved in this case
Miss Cordelia happily said.
The head of Shirasaka family? The enemies have joined togther. .No. The fourth Cesario Violahas made business with Shirasaka house by himself. Rather than a free promotion service.it’s better to work with to make money. Viola’s follower’s motivation has changed.
We’ll give you a list on this occasion
The otherRosalind Orlandotook out a piece of paper from the handbag.
That’s a list of names written in English.
Here you go
Rosalind hands the paper.
.MIchi-san, take it. Be careful
Margo-san instructs.Michi takes the paper calmly.
It’s okay.I don’t bite
Rosalind laughs.
My, she’s not your type?
The other Viola teases her sister.
You’re right. I haven’t eaten a black haired girl yet!
Michi.
I have a poison so I’m not delicious
Rosalind looks pleased.
My my, what a cute thing to say!
Michi handed the paper she received to Margo-san.
Margo-san checked the paper.then handed to Minaho-neesan on the back.
My.you’re quite naive. If we had a radioactive polonium on the paper, you’ll all die
Miss Cordelia said.
You’re not Russian Mafia, you don’t do such unromantic assassinations, do you? Polonium and VX gasses are dangerous to set.you don’t do such boring way of killing, do you?
Margo-san answered.
My, why do you think so? We might be much more violent that you think?
Beautiful ladies won’t do acts that would hurt their beauty.and also .Also? .Cordelia is a familiar name. I’ve heard about the person named Cordelia Prisken a lot from Kyouko-san.
Margo-san stares at Miss Cordelia
Kyouko Messer, what did she say about me?
I wonder.shouldn’t you just ask her? As expected.Kyouko Messer’s already in Japan? You do know Kyouko-san’s methods way better don’t you? She’s hiding herself into a place no one can see until it becomes the highlight of the show Hearing that makes me relieved.I’ve got aloanfrom Kyouko Messer .Loan? That’s right.it’s notborrowbutloan I’d like to payback soon. I don’t want it to stay for the rest of my life
Miss Cordelia said.
Then.you just came as a watcher?
Well.that’s one of the reasons
Margo-san and Miss Cordelia look at each other.
The fourth Cesario Violahad been given strict orders not to attack this theater
.Eh?
There’s a lot of children from good families of Japan here, don’t you think? It won’t become a promotion if we got them involved in a bad way
.Right.
They want to advertise the power of the organization ofCesario Violato Japan’s upper class. If they killed a child of a noble who has nothing to do with it.they’ll become infamous.
Besides.we came as a government official of our home country
Miss Cordelia points at the name tag showingAmerican commerce departmenthanging on her neck.
We won’t do any act that would lose States’ authority. We’re patriots after all.
Margo-san smiles wryly.
I appreciate your thoughtfulness!
Thefourth Cesario Violawill be attacking everyone moving to the hotel after this. Let’s see, that kind of recreation’s better after dinner isn’t it? How about we start the fight after 8PM?
.After 8.
Even if we don’t fight.you’d be infiltrating by that time, don’t you?
Margo-san said.
Obviously.it’s a highlight on how far can we approach you before the battle starts, don’t you think?
Miss Cordelia laughed again.
Then, that’s all from us. Please say my regards to Kyouko Messer. I might not be able to meet her.
Miss Cordellia is about to leave but.
There’s no way Kyouko-san would say hello to you
Cordelia stopped.
She turned to Margo-san.
What did Kyouko Messer told you about me?
Margo-san answered.
She told me that she doesn’t love anyone as much as you!
.Is that so?
Cordelia glared at Margo-san
Are you Kyouko Messer’s current lover?
Margo-san laughs.
I’m Kyouko-san’s apprentice. She’s still treating me as a child even now
.Child? .I’m from the facility too
Hearing that.Miss Cordelia’s face calms down.
.Is that so?
It’s the same reason why Kyouko-san parted from the Brazilian Crime OrganizationMarandoroand became a guard forKuromori For her, we are all herdaughters! .I get it somehow That’s why.I don’t want you to bear a grudge to Kyouko-san I’m not.I just feel regretful on her talent. Kyouko Messer might be able to win against theFirst Cesario Viola.
Cordelia said sadly.
Good day.I’d like to see you again
Right. I’d like to open some California wine with the three of us That’s impossible! That depends on your feelings however? Anyway.win against thefourth Cesario Viola Let’s continue talking if you survive You’re right. .I wish you good luck
Miss Cordelia walks out.
The white twins go after her.
.Bye everyone
.Do your best
Then.the three white death gods disappear
.Margo-san, how far do you trust those people’s words?
Misuzu asks.
I don’t trust anything about them
Margo-san laughs.
But.that person bothered to come to see Margo-san
Megu asked with an anxious face.
If that person’s really Cordelia Prisken.Kyouko-san’s first apprentice, she’d be the the longest partner she worked with
.What? From what I’ve heard from Kyouko-san.Cordelia Prisken is supposed to be dead
We’re talking to someone who’s supposed to be dead?
Well fine. They’re not our ally but they’re not completely our enemies
How can you say so?
Megu asks.
If they’re really our enemies.we’re already killed now. The three of them had enough fighting power
.Un
I think they overlooked us.
Assuming that someone’s ruling aboveCesario VIola.I imagined the possibility that the current Viola isn’t the original. Who would’ve thought that there were multipleCesario Violain one organization They say that the one aiming at us is thefourth Cesario Viola At least, there’s a four pair ofCesario ViolaandRosalind Orlando?
Megu asks.Margo-san;
They might just be deceiving us on that part. Even those twins, we don’t know if they’re really aCesario Viola
But.that would make a reasonable explanation About everything until now
Katsuko-nee said.
The Cesario Viola aiming at us.is called fourth Cesario Violaby those girls but.the image is a strong and violent young opponent
.Un. True.
From what I’ve heard from Nei-san.he’s a dangerous old man.
I can’t feel their elaborate plan at all. I don’t understand why such crude criminals had been let loose for a long time
Katsuko-nee said.Minaho-neesan;
It must be true that the organization is manipulating multipleCesario Viola’sat the same time Depending on the content of the job.they change the Viola that would work for it
.Then
Thefourth Cesario Violathat’s aiming at us is the team that’s taking the most violent and brutal jobs
Right.those three have a much more sophisticated atmosphere
I see.
They undertake various criminal acts from various people. In reality, they let the person suited take the job. And the top of the team are namedCesario Violaand Rosalind Orlando Then, the crime legend of Viola strengthens. There’s no problem if he’s killed or arrested. AnotherCesario Violais alive and well. Even if if they confessI am Cesario Violaat the police station.it’ll only be thought of as a lie. Cesario Viola’scriminal case will just continue.
I don’t really think that more than four pairs ofViolaexists but.there might be more than two pairs
Margo-san said.
By the way.the list given a while ago
Margo-san asks.Minaho-neesan spread the paper.
If we’re going to believe Cordelia’s words. That is the list of people Shirasaka Moritsugu askedthe fourth Cesario Violato kill.
.Yoshida-kun’s name isn’t here
I look in the list.
True, My name’s not here.
Shirasaka house hasn’t noticed Yoshida-kun’s existence
Right.I
Shirasaka house doesn’t know me at all.
Rather than that.Shirasaka Moritsugu seems to be serious
Katsuko-nee said after looking at the list.
There’s even people’s name from Shirasaka family written too. Mr. Ichikawa, and Shirasaka Sousuke’s wife too.
.Shirasaka Moritsugu
.It seems that he wants to kill everyone involved in this incident. Kill everyone.and just turn everything unsettled. A last resort.
My name’s here
Megu’s surprised.
Yamamine-san’s names.aren’t here. He knows that Megu is Shirasaka Sousuke’s daughter. The cause of this event.he’s trying all of the parties concerned with Shirasaka Sousuke. Therefore.he requested only Megu to be killed.
.Maika-san too
Mana said.
Shirasaka Moritsugu wants to kill Shirasaka Maika. .And
That’s.granduncle!
In the list.
Shirasaka Yukino’sname is written
No way!
Yukino’s lost in grief.
Shirasaka Yukino.Shirasaka house; Shirasaka Moritsugu has abandoned her.
1. I can’t make an accurate depiction of that in English however
2. I mean, you’re the one who hypothesized it Yoshida 3. The Taming of the Shrew 4. Troilus and Cressida 5. Hamlet
Chapter 222
I got it now.
Margo-san sighs.
Miss Cordelia’s ourenemy!
Does that mean?
She’s not the person in the past Kyouko-san talks about
Minaho-neesan said.
Yoshida-kun.who do you think Shirasaka Moritsugu want to kill the most in the list?
Minaho-neesan spreads the list in front of me.
Misuzu and Megu also looked at the paper on the table. Written on theMurder listis. First.the people ofKuromorithat’s hostile against Shirasaka house. .Minaho Kuromori Shirasaka Moritsugu only knows Minaho-neesan as the leader ofKuromori Therefore, the surname’sKuromoriinstead ofYuzuki Following.Katsuko Takanashi. Margo Starkweather He recognizes both of them as people inKuromori. Nei-san’s name isn’t here. It’s obvious.Shirasaka Moritsugu doesn’t know Nei-san. Nei-san has never appeared in front of the guests ofKuromori The only one who has business with Nei-san is thefourth Cesario Viola Nagisa’s name isn’t here.I feel relieved. Un.it’s already been four years since Nagisa has retired fromKuromori Following the list are the number of people withShirasakain their last name. It’s all names I don’t know. Perhaps, these people are rebelling against the Shirasaka head; Shirasaka Moritsugu, trying to rebel against Shirasaka house by making a deal with KouzukiKakka Lastly.Shirasaka Sousuke and his family. The list ends with old man Ichikawa’s name.
If you’re Shirasaka Moritsugu.who’s the highest priority to kill?
.I
.Minaho-neesan?
Minaho-neesan’s the mastermind of this case.
Minaho-neesan should be the one Shirasaka Moritsugu has the most grudge against. Margo-san laughs.
Sadly.it’s not her
.Eh?
.Shirasaka Sousuke-san
Misuzu mutters
.Why? Shirasaka Sousuke is his nephew isn’t he? Even though he’s been looking after him up until now.
You’re right.if Shirasaka Sousuke-san’s mouth is sealed, it’ll become a futile situation
.Megu?
This time’s Shirasaka house’s scandal.to be honest is all just crimes of Shirasaka Sousuke being exposed. Therefore.if Shirasaka Sousuke dies, you can just make everything vague!
Margo-san said.
Right.rather, the Shirasaka house thinks that if Shirasaka Sousuke continues to live, it’ll be bad for them. He’ll be caught by the media and just talk about Shirasaka Sousuke!
.I see.
It is as Katsuko-nee says. As of now, the only evidence Minaho-neesan released is about Naomi-san’s remains. Various entertainment reporters shed bad rumors about Shirasaka Sousuke on TV. Shirsaka Sousuke’s comment hasn’t been taken yet. If ever Shirasaka Sousuke’s taken to an interview, or a press conference. This scandal will flame up even more.
Therefore.before that happens, Mr. Shirasaka Moritsugu would like his cute nephew to die. That’s the only method remaining to extinguish this scandal
It doesn’t matter if the death is suspicious.
If Shirasaka Sousuke dies.the spark this scandal will disappear. The media’s pursuit will stop.
.Papa
Yukino mutters in a small voice.
Mana, she’s not saying anything. She’s just holding Megu’s hand tightly.
Therefore.Minaho has instructed Kyouko-san to turn Shirasaka Sousuke missing
Un. Nobody knows the current location of Shirasaka Sousuke.
So that’s why that woman asked Margo-san about Kyouko-san!
That’s how it is. Those people know that Shirasaka Sousuke is with Kyouko-san
Shirasaka Sousuke and Kyouko have left Australia.
If they discover the departure record.what’s left can be imagined easily.
Miss Cordelia spoke to us in Japanese and intimately is part of the plan. She thought that someone would accidentally talk about something that can be a hint
But sadly.not a single one of us knows Kyouko-san and Shirasaka Sousuke’s current location
Nei-san laughs.
Wait a moment.does that mean that those three want to know Shirasaka Sousuke’s whereabouts?
A bad feeling crosses my mind.
That’s how it is Yoshida-kun.Miss Cordelia lied about her being just awitnessfor the other viola
Margo-san declared.
Those three have come to kill us according to their contract with Shirasaka Moritsugu!
As expected!
I don’t think those three are running underFourth Cesario Viola’sorders No matter how you look at it, those three are on a higher rank. And yet.them searching Shirasaka Sousuke’s location!
They are aiming for Shirasaka Sousuke’s life too.
The reality is that they overlooked us this time so they can know the location of Shirasaka Sousuke
Margo-san leaked a sigh.
Then, they intend to kill us either way?
Megi asks.
.Should be. Shirasaka Moritsugu didn’t make a contract with theFourth Cesario Violabut rather with those people’sOrganization
Minaho-neesan answered.
In short.Our enemy only thefourth Cesario Viola Our enemy is the wholeOrganization. Even the otherCesario Viola would come to attack us.
Is there no way to annul that contract?
.Misuzu asks.
It’s only when the client can’t pay up a lot of money, then they can void the contract
Un, regrettably.underground world prioritizes trust. Once the contract has been signed, it has to be executed no matter what
Margo-san answers.
There’s only two ways of cancelling the contract. Shirasaka Moritsugu withdraws the kill contract by paying a penalty.
And the other one? Shirasaka Moritsugu is unable to pay up the reward for success!
.Err.
Margo-san explains what Minaho-neesan said.
If the client is judged to be unable to make payments.the murder contract will immediately be cancelled. It’s foolish to do work if it won’t turn to money, don’t you think?
They have to make such a rule.the person who’d do anything just to dispel his grudge relying on aCriminal organizationshould have the resolution of being killed later!
I see.if a person who pretends to have money requests for a murder.
If they killed the person as requested and he saidI don’t have money.TheOrganizationwould have net loss. It costs quite a lot of money for people to kill people after all
The client’s life won’t be equal to it.
Therefore.theorganizationconstantly monitors the client’s pocket. Then.If ever the client no longer has the ability to pay.the contract would be cancelled at that point
.I see.
Shirasaka Moritsugu.has requested to kill this many people. The contingency fee would become several hundred of millions of Yen. But if Shirasaka Moritsugu loses power.and falls down from the head seat of Shirasaka family, he can’t spend that much money freely It would become impossible for Shirasaka Moritsugu to pay up hundreds of millions of yen as an individual.
No, in the first place, the kill request was made only because Shirasaka Moritsugu is sticking to the head status. After he’s chased out as the heads of the house.it would be meaningless.
Therefore our current strategy is to endure Shirasaka Moritsugu’s downfall
Meaning.making the deal of the rebels in Shirasaka family with KouzukiKakkaa success?
I asked, Margo-san;
On the contrary.the night hotel would become a bloodbath. Everyone on that list would be gathering together
They can reasonably kill everyone.
Are they going to blow off the hotel with missiles?
It could be the radioactive material and murder gas that came out from the conversation with miss Cordelia a while ago
Mana asked worriedly
Mana-chan.cost-effectiveness is very important in business
Margo-san gently smiled to Mana.
Even though they’re going to earn millions of yen.it’s stupid to hammer it all for a missile. Theexpenseenemy use would only several ten million yen
But still.that’s a lot of money.
If it’s the foreigners that attacked earlier, they can easily mobilize hundreds of people.
With this.I’ve understood the gist of why Miss Cordelia approached us
Minaho-neesan thinks
But still.I think them purposely greeting us that way and talking about her having somethingborrowedfrom Kyouko-san is true.
Margo-san answers with a dark face.
But, we don’t know if Miss Cordelia’sborrowisFavororgrudge. Either way.the number of enemies have increased
We trembled.
But.why is Kyouko-san’s name not on the list?
Katsuko-nee who’s been looking at the list all this time asked.
Speaking of which.Kyouko Dothnomecheythe name that’s most famous in the underworld is missing.
Could it be that Shirasaka Moritsugu failed to notice her?
Megu said.
No.Shirasaka Moritsugu knows that Kyouko-san is the guard ofKuromori
Minaho-neesan said
Right.Kyouko-san’s been the guard ofKuromorieven before Margo-san and Katsuko-nee joined. There’s no way Shirasaka Moritsugu is unaware.
I can only think of Miss Cordelia negotiating with Shirasaka Moritsugu to remove her on the list
Margo-san concluded.
Eh?Why?
I don’t know the reason
Why did she do it.even I don’t know
.Then
Isn’t that obvious?
Yukino speaks up.
That person’s not ajob.but a personal kill target?
.Yukino, you?
.Un. Yukino-san might be right
Margo-san agrees.
There’s nothing else possible!
No.Uhm
Yukino, do you understand your own position?
Haa.Somehow, I’ve gotten hungry
.Yukino, Yukino-san?
Even if you think about it, nothing’s going to change. Either way, whatever happens will happen!
Sometimes, I’m envious of Yukino’s thick nerves just like climbing mountain ropes.
Margo-san laughs.
Right.Yukino-san’s right. I think we can trust Miss Cordelia’s promise that they won’t attack the theater nor raise an incident until after 8. However, it’s not only the three of them, endless spies have invaded Right. Miss Cordelia said.
Even if the attack starts at 8.the agents would be sneaking before. As soon as it’s 8PM.there’s a possibility of the person next to me being shot and killed.
Well.there’s only Kouzuki security service and the child’s guards here now but, The venue would be gathering more and more guards from each respective houses
Katsuko-nee said.
Right, before the opening time.various families would be coming here starting with KouzukiKakka Of course.the VIPs would be having top level guards. The safety of the venue rises.
Everyone, try to be together as much as possible. Don’t separate from each other. Don’t approach people you think suspicious even for a bit. When you feel something strange then report to Minaho or me immediately.okay?
Margo-san said.
.We know!
No.Yukino.
What are you to us again? I’m getting even more worried.
Should we report Miss Cordelia’s matter to Kouzuki security service?
Katsuko-nee asks Margo-san.
No.they’re using IDs from American commerce department, director Yamaoka can’t deal with it. Those three are special. I don’t think the agents would be using the same method. Rather, I think it’s better to let Kudou-san know it. That person will be checking on the people coming to visit from US government today .Michi-san, where do you think your father is right now?
Katsuko-nee asks Michi.
I think that father will be flying around the theater anyway.1 Norma-san’s in the front entrance so I think you should call her instead
Yeah.we should stop going out of the theater.
Got it.I’ll contact her
Please.Katsuko
Katsuko-nee bows to Minaho-neesan and head towards the entrance.
Now then.what should we do?
Margo-san asks Minaho.
Then.Misuzu speaks.
Uhm.I should prepare for mydress rehearsalsoon!
O-Oh right.
She has to change costumes.
Un. You’re going to the dressing room right?
Yes. Does everyone want to join in?
Now then.what to do?
Right.Megumi and Mana-san should be with Misuzu-san for a while if possible
Minaho-neesan said
Why?
I asked.
That’s the safest place in the theater right now. There are girls doing practice independently outside but most of the performers are in the dressing room, right?
I see.the guards who protect the performers should be in the dressing room too.
Yes, that’s why everyone should go there
Misuzu said.Minaho-neesan;
That’s not going to happen. Today’s performers are small children, aren’t they? Shouldn’t the guardians come along, not just the guards?
Yes, I think there are some It would be fine if it’s their mother but.if it’s the father, they’ll know our faces!
Ah.They might be customers ofKuromori
At such places.furthermore, before the opening time, it would be bad to see Minaho-neesan’s face.
Therefore, we’ll stay in the lobby for a while
Okay, then I’ll go there too If Maru-chan’s there then me too!
.Nei-san?
You see, Maru-chan’s the safest place for me!
Nei-san said and smiled.
What’s left is Michi, Yukino, and Me.
Yukino-san.I think she shouldn’t come to the dressing room
Misuzu said.
.Why?
Her look.is indeed strange
True
Yukino’s wearing a yellow-and-black construction dress. It’s definitely not vulgar clothing but. No matter how you look at it, it’s a girl weak in the head. Her hobby is too bad.it stand out too much.
Besides.Today, Takabayashi Sayaka-san is here?
.No way?
Hearing Misuzu, Yukino raised her voice.
.Who’s that?
It’s Yukino-san’s classmate in middle school
Mana told me.
She’s been talking about Yukino-san in the dressing room since lunch time. I’ve come to play in Shirasaka Sousuke-san’s houseshe said.she’s always been talking about the arrangement of the house and even the snacks served Misuzu smiled wryly.
Shirasaka Sousuke’s a director on a leading advertising agency. As a member of Shirasaka family.Yukino even attended an Ojou-sama school until middle school. It’s not strange if she’s acquainted with a pupil of Konpeki style school.
.That woman
Yukino made a bitter face.
Then, it’s better not to show your face
No matter how disguised she is.Yukino’s former classmate will be able to identify her identity.
Mana, is it okay to meet her?
Maika-san has never met that person even once.in the first place, Mana isn’t Maika-san!
Mana said then smiled.
It’s okay. I’ll be with you
Megu said.
Danna-sama, what about you?
.I
.What should I do? .Then Several people come this way. Kanako-san who asked us to work on the pamphlets is walking ahead. Behind her. Kudou Haruka’s four followers.
Sorry.I had to take off my costume after thedress rehearsal!
Kanako-san who changed to her practice Yukata came back breathing roughly.
The clothes today were borrowed from the headmaster so I can’t let it get dirty
Kanako-san wiped her sweat with a small hand towel then said.
My.are you done already? I’m sorry, Misuzu-san and her guests did everything!
It’s not just us. Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san came to help out too Really?I’m very sorry Don’t mind it
On behalf of everyone.I spoke to Kanako-san.
We’re Misuzu’s familyafter all
Hearing what I said.Kanako-san’s surprised.
Misuzu-san.could it be, this person?
Ah.shit
Kanako-san seems to have misunderstood me as Misuzu’s secretfiance
It’s not.Kanako-san
Misuzu.
This one isn’t thefiancegrandfather has decided on me.
Megu and Mana pats my back.
.Eh?
This is Misuzu-san’s territory Un.it can’t be helped
.Girls
Geez, you’re slow ! Hurry up and go to Mii-chan’s side!
Nei-san thrusts me from behind.
I line up next to Misuzu. Misuzu smile as she look at me.
This is the person I chose.the one I love!
.Misuzu?
My.Is that so?
Kanako-san’s face turned bright.
Yes. I’ll tell only Kanako-san!
Among these two.Kanako-san has her face feel very mature but.
She’s younger than Misuzu.
.I can’t tell Manami-chan?
Ufufu.you can. But, only Manami-chan .Yes!
Misuzu and Kanako-san smiled peacefully at each other.
Kudou Haruka stares at us with a bitter face.
Then, we can leave the pamphlets to Kanako-san, I assume?
Yes.Nadeshiko-sensei’s apprentices would be coming soon My, isn’t Kiyoko-san already here if you’re talking about apprentices? I’ve seen Kiyoko-san do independent practice with Midori-san and Makie-san I see.the apprentices are busy aren’t they?
Misuzu and Kanako-san are having conversation only apprentices of Konpeki style can understand.
It’s almost time for Misuzu-san to prepare.
That’s right. I have to hurry
Kanako-san looks at me.
Have you seen the order in the pamphlet?
.Order?
Misuzu-san.will be the third from the end for today’s dance
Third from the last?
The last would be the headmaster, Nadeshiko-sensei’s dance
Today’s gathering is a symposium of Konpeki-style dance.
So the last.the teacher will be dancing herself.
Before Nadeshiko-sensei is Manami-chan who’s the best in our class
True.they said that Manami-san’s the headmaster’s granddaughter wasn’t it?
Misuzu’s before her. Then that means that Misuzu’s the second most skilled among today’s apprentices?
It’s a huge selection. Misuzu-san really did her best
Don’t say that.it’s embarrassing
Misuzu’s embarrassed.
Un.I’m looking forward to it. Misuzu
Today.I will dance for Danna-sama!
I want to kiss Misuzu.
But.it would be bad here. Kanako-san’s looking. Behind her are people glaring at us.
.Sorry but, you haven’t forgotten your promise with us?
Kudou Haruka told me.
1. No, he’s not literally flying
Chapter 223
.Who’s this?
Kanako-san asks Misuzu as Kudou Haruka shows an unusual atmosphere.
Misuzu smiled gracefully.
She’s Ruriko-san’s guard.don’t mind her Kanako-san
.But We’ll settle this among ourselves
When told like that.Kanako-san has no choice but to be silent.
Misuzu-san can take priority of her lesson anyway.you can leave the rest to us
Margo-san said.
You don’t mind if we send Misuzu-san to the dressing room first do you?
Margo-san asks Kudou Haruka with sharp eyes.
Yes, I don’t
Kudou Haruka acknowledged.
Anyway.don’t worry about it, Kanako-san
Misuzu tells Kanako-san again.
It’s really going to be fine!
Nei-san smiled at Kanako-san who’s uneasy.
yes!
But still, Kanako-san looked uneasy.
Everyone moved together from the lobby to the dressing room entrance.
From the side aisle of the theater to next to the stage. There’s a big sign sayingAuthorized person onlyin big letters.
The other side will be the dressing room. That door is left open today
Misuzu explained.
I see, today’s the Japanese traditional dancesymposium. There’s more than 50 people performing. There would be guests visiting the dressing room too. When it’s not the performer’s turn, they can go watch others dance. The door separating the spectator seat and the dressing room is left open. .Then There’s a lot of stern men waiting around the door.
Those people are everyone’s guards
Misuzu whispers on my ears.
Today’s performers are all child from a distinguished family. In case of female guards, they can go inside the dressing room. The male guards can’t. Therefore, they wait in here. .Then.
.Misuzu-sama, you’re coming with a lot of strange people again
One person.a man in black aged over 50 calls Misuzu.
He stared at Minaho-neesan.
My, Tanizawa-san.you’re already here?
Misuzu smiled.
I’ve taken a head start today.I’d like to check the security system in here.
The man called Tanizawa answered Misuzu with his twisted grin.
Danna-sama.this one’s Tanizawa-san. He’s the chief of grandfather’s full-time security unit
KouzukiKakkafull time guard?
I see, Kudou-papa’s doing various investigations on the outside. There’s another person that sticks withKakkaas his guard. I now understand why the evaluation of Kudou-papa from director Yamaoka is low. To the regular members of Kouzuki security servcice.Kudou papa from theguard departmentmay seem only unreliable to KouzukiKakka He already has a dedicated escort unit.
Tanizawa-san.this is Kuromori-san
Misuzu introduced me asKuromori
It’s the chief of the unit sticking to KouzukiKakka That alone makes him know that I’m a member ofKuromori
.I’m Kuromori
I bow to chief Tanizawa.
Chief Tanizawa looks down on me with cold eyes. It seems that he doesn’t intend to greet a man from prostitution ring.
Misuzu-sama.please refrain from playing with strange people, You’ll makeKakkaworry
My, what are you talking about?
Misuzu answered with a smile.
Grandfather knows
If you say so.
Chief Tanizawa looks at Margo-san.
Oh, Nee-chan, it’s been a while.where’s master today?
As expected.she knows Margo-san’s face, he must’ve come to theKuromorimansion
Kyouko-san is on a business trip. Therefore it’s only me today
Don’t work on such a demon woman.come to our side. It’s not fun to be a brothel guard isn’t it?
Chief Tanizawa solicits her in front of Minaho-neesan.
The salary here is much better than Kouzuki security service though
Margo-san answered with a smile.
Don’t be silly, we’ve got welfare pension and unemployment insurance here. If you think about your future benefits, isn’t coming to a decent company much better, right?
Kouzuki security service is a decent company? Better than a brothel at least you know? I’m still an executive in Kouzuki security service even if I look like this. I can let you join in the company without examination with my authority voice now!
Executive.he’s on a higher position than Director Yamaoka.
Sadly.I don’t have any intention
.Why? You’re so cold. Well fine.if you changed your mind, you can contact me anytime
Chief Tanizawa said.
Danna-sama.Tanizawa-san is here to Ruriko and I will be safe
.Misuzu?
No, he’s the chief of the escort unit for KouzukiKakka His work should be perfect.
Grandfather is worried so he sent Tanizawa-san ahead, didn’t he?
Misuzu asked and chief Tanizawa smiled wryly.
That’s how it is.we can’t leave it to the unreliable lads like Yamaoka and Kudou
Chief Tanizawa seems to think that Director Yamaoka and Kudou Papa is stillhalf a man
Hey.Kudou’s girl. What’s with you leaving your master on an important escort duty?
Chief Tanizawa scolds Kudou Haruka.
Kudou Haruka is a registered guard in Kouzuki security service. Chief Tanizawa is a person above her in the company.
i’m very sorry!
Kuodu Haruka bows her head.
Tanizawa-san.sorry but could we borrow this girl for a while?
Margo-san asks.
.Why?
This girl picked a fight with us .Oh
Chief Tanizawa looks down on Kudou Haruka with an amazed face.
Then.Nee-chan will be educating her properly?
No.this girl will be taking her on
Margo-san points at Michi.
Michi looks down.
This girl.isn’t she the little sister?
Chief Tanizawa’s surprised.
Yes, Michi will fight her sister. I gave her order to definitely win
Misuzu told the chief.
I’m also included to the people Kudou Haruka insulted after all
Cheif Tanizawa sighs.
Got it.I’ll leave the match to Nee-chan. This girl’s as foolish as her father
No, she resembles her mother
Misuzu said.
No.well, that Kudou doesn’t take his wife seriously so she turned strange!
Chief Tanizawa knows Kudou mama and Director Yamaoka’s relationship?
Then, chief looks at Kudou Haruka.
Either way.taking on a fight with other organization while holding the name of Kouzuki Security service, that’s some irresponsible work, it won’t end with just displeasing Misuzu-sama. I don’t mind it so Nee-chan can beat her up. I’ll allow it Chief Tanizawa doesn’t seem to trust Michi’s skills.
He allowed Margo-san, not Michi to punish Kudou Haruka. Kudou Haruka and the four followers face turned completely blue.
No.Tanizawa-san. That would be troubling me
Misuzu speaks seriously.
If Kudou Haruka wins against her sister.could you make it irrelevant?
.What do you mean? This match is needed by Kudou Michi
Michi looked up in surprise.
.Misuzu-Ojousan, you’re quite evaluating this girl highly
Yes.I intend to have Michi as my guard for the rest of my life .Understood
Chief Tanizawa speaks to Kudou Haruka.
Hey you.If you win against this small girl, I’ll forget everything you’ve done. Win with the intention to die. Okay?
That order.Kudou Haruka.
If I win.please put me in Chief Tanizawa’s team!
.What? I don’t want to be guarding children. I can’t get serious. If I’m going to guard then let it be a VIP!
.She’s really an idiot.
I have that much talent!
Kudou Haruka’s gotten strange confidence because she’s labeled as best in Japan’s Karate.
.You
Chief Tanizawa tries to scold her but Margo-san stopped him.
.Leave the rest to us
.But, Nee-chan This talentless girl can only understand with her body either way
Chief Tanizawa looked at Margo-san.Misuzu.then once again, Kudou Haruka.
.Then.
Don’t die foolishly.Karate girl. If you lose, you’re fired. Remember that
There’s no way I’ll lose against my sister!
Kuodu Haruka seems to be a complete idiot.
Then, I’ll enter the dressing room. Megumi and Mana-san, come with me!
Misuzu said but.Mana seems to be interested in the fight.
I.can I stay with Onii-chan?
Mana.if we’re with them, Michi-san can’t fight freely
Megu said.
Mana-san.Misuzu’s dressing room is the same as Ruriko-san
Misuzu told Mana.
Could you help Megumi-san talk about Danna-sama’s wonderfulness to Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san?
.Does that mean?
Recommending sex with me to Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san? Mana smiled.
Got it.Mana will talk to Ruriko-san!
.Err
.Danna-sama, come here
Misuzu pulls me out from the others.
.What?
Misuzu whispers in my ear so the others won’t hear.
.Please look after Michi
Michi’s completely disheartened because she’ll fight with her sister.
It seems she’s not good at dealing with Kudou Haruka.
Michi.that girl’s mentally childish. A weak girl. She’s essentially a useless girl unless someone controls over her
.Misuzu?
.Therefore, Danna-sama, please dominate Michi when Misuzu isn’t around
I dominate Michi?
Michi is an M. She wants to be ruled by someone she trusts
M?
Misuzu laughs.
A masochist
.Eh?
Misuzu’s the same
.Misuzu?
Misuzu is a girl who wants to bedominatedby Dana-sama!
True.Misuzu.
She’s my pet at first. I feel like she wants to bedominated She prefers to be the passive.be violated by me.
I’m different from Megumi-san and Mana-san.both of them tend to be sadist if you ask me
I look at Megu and Mana.
Both of them are looking at us with a blank face. .Speaking of which. Those two actively seek sex by themselves. True, they’re more S than M.
Please completely dominate Michi’s heart on this occasion, Michi needs Danna-sama.
.Misuzu.
Misuzu calls Michi with a strong voice.
Michi!
yes.Misuzu-sama?
Michi looked up in panic.
When I’m not with you, Danna-sama is your master. Follow all of Danna-sama’s orders!
Misuzu’s instruction sticks to Michi’s heart.
yes. Certainly!
Then, Danna-sama.please take care of Michi
Misuzu smiled at me.
We part with Misuzu, Megu and Mana from the dressing room’s door.
Katsuko-nee went to contact with Kudou papa so she won’t be back yet.
Then.let’s go
Margo-san calls out Kudou Haruka.
I won’t lose. No, I cannot lose
Kuodu Haruka mutters
.Then, how about the battlefield?
.This way!
Kudou Haruka opened the door to the stage
We follow her. On the stage is a lighting in the middle of it. There’s a lot of staff working around. From the stage side.going to the basement stairs. To the underground of the stage.we head to thetheater basement
Wow, this feels chilly!
Nei-san said.
It seems that the cold air accumulate on the underground. The theater basement is a dimly lit place with only emergency lights. There’s nobody here now.
This is the axis of the revolving stage. Ah, this is what’s making it go up!
Nei-san looks at the theater’s mechanism in interest.
Kuroko-chan, come here!
Nei-san pulls Yukino’s arms.
.Eh?
Just stay with me!
Saying that, Nei-san stands behind Margo-san.
Minaho-neesan also goes behind Margo-san. Kudou Haruka and the four followers take distance. I stand before Margo-san. Michi’s still looking down.
Now then.should we make confirmations?
Minaho-neesan told Kuodu Haruka.
You’ll fight with Michi.when you lose, you’ll be fired from Kouzuki security service, and become our prostitute.are you okay with that?
Very well.either way, I will win
Kuodu Haruka said then winks at her followers.
.Now!
The four of them moved around and surround me.
.Eh?
I tried to escape but the four karate girl’s movements are fast.
They caught be before I noticed. The girl with the best physique holds me from behind.
aneue!
Michi’s surprised.
I’d like to take a small insurance.
Kudou Haruka said.
Just so that girl won’t make a strange movement while I fight with Michi
She intends top prevent Margo-san from intervening by taking me as a hostage?
I don’t mind.either way, I thought that this would happen
Margo-san said calmly
Nei-san embraced Yukino behind her and smiled. I see. That’s why Nei-san secured Yukino first. They’re aware of Kudou Haruka’s hostage strategy.
He’s also a member ofKuromori.I hope you’re prepared
Minaho-neesan said.
.Right. I’m already prepared for this much.
.Michi. Don’t mind about me, fight with all your might
Michi looks up at me in surprise.
Beat them down, that’s an order!
Michi’s.puzzled.
Now then, should we begin.Michi
Kudou Haruka takes off her pumps.
She becomes barefoot and stakes a Karate stance.
You do know it.you never won against me. This will continue to happen forever!
Michi’s frightened from her sister’s words
Why are you that scared of your sister? Does she have some kind of trauma?
Now.take a stance, Michi
Michi takes a stance with her trembling hands.
.What are you doing, Michi?
I said instinctively.
Michi looks at me.
That’s a Karate stance!
yes.I always fight Aneue in Karate
Michi answered.
You’re not doing Karate!
I shouted!
You’reKudou style!
Michi’s surprised.
.but
I see.
I know what Michi’s afraid of. Kudou styleshould overwhelm her sister. It’ll shatter Kudou Haruka’s pride. She’s afraid of her sister’s body getting hurt. Michi is scared that Kudou Haruka would have a body that can’t do Karate anymore.
Michi.do with the intent to kill
I said.
.Yoshida?
Michi trembles.
It’s not Yoshida.call meMaster
.?!!! Misuzu told you earlier didn’t she? When Misuzu’s away, I’m your mastert .But
Michi’s trembling again.
Do it for me!
IdominateMichi
I ready myself.
Abandon your sister.your family is Misuzu and me!
Michi’s eyes opened up wide.
Life for only Misuzu and my sake!
.Michi
She breathes in. Then.breathes out.
Aneue.I’m sorry
Michi’s trembling stopped
Her champion spirit piles up.
I have to kill Aneue
Saying that.she takes out a red whip hidden under her skirt.
.Shuba!
The tip of the whip cuts the air and taps the floor of the theater basement!
you.what are you doing?
Kudou Haruka’s surprised.
There’s no way you’re going to use that?
Is there a problem?
Michi looks at her sister coldly.
Don’t be stupid! If you’re going to fight me then do it with bare hands
.Sadly, I have to win Throw away your weapon. Do you not care about what happens at this man?
Kudou Haruka winks at her followers surrounding me.
.But
.Doshu!
Throwing knife stabs at the very end of the follower’s feet.
I missed on purpose.releaseMaster Unless!
Michi holds another knife opposite to the hand with the whip.
that’s unfair.Michi!
At the moment Kudou Haruka speaks!
Michi’s whip attacks her sister!
.Zubashu!
The chest of Kudou Haruka’s pink suit is torn up!
Her white bra’s exposed! She ripped out exactly her clothes without hurting Haruka’s body. Michi’s skill surprises everyone.
There’s no such thing as unfair when it’s a struggle to protect theirmaster
A whip on the right and a throwing knife on the left!
Let me say it again.let go of my Master
Haruka’s followers who are holding me let go of their hand.
.I I slowly get away from the four and returned to Michi’s behind.
I’m very sorry.Master
Michi said.
I will be punishing this woman immediately!
Chapter 224
.Margo-sama, please take care of Master
Michi glared at her sister as she speak.
Roger.Yoshida-kun, stay behind me
I go to Margo-san’s back.
Nei-san came to my side.
.It’ll be fine!
She smiled looking at me.
MInaho-neesan is staring at Michi. Yukin came close to me. She grasped the hem of my suit tightly.
.Yukino, you’re scared?
Yukino sent me a glance.
Shut up.
Yukino’s trembling lightly.
You coward! Relying on weapons, you’re not a martial artist!
Kuodu Haruka is hysteric.
Michi.
I’m not a martial artist.
She stares at her sister with sharp eyes.
I’m the shield that protects my lord and the word that moves according to my lord’s command!
Suu.haa1
Michi’s peculiar breathing echoes in the dark theater basement.
The originalKudou Style ancient martial arts.changes you to alethal weaponwith no will
Alethal weaponwith no will?
Aneue.let me show you the end of life. Even if Aneue was born from theKudouhouse.it would be a waste to die without seeing the essence of this work!
Michi said.
She dumps the red whip and throwing knife on the floor.
.Why?
Kudou Haruka’s surprised.
Once again.you want to fight with me bare hands?
Michi ignores her sister and head to the four followers.
.Come!
As if sliding around.Michi heads to the four people.
I will take down the four of you!
Michi approached without hesitation and the four Karate girls trembled.
You see.humans have a sense of distance where they will reflexively refuse when stepped in by others!
Margo-san said.
That’s basically the range where you stretch your hand straight. Everyone hatesothersentering that zone. Theirsurvival instinctsends a signal ofdanger!
Michi invades the refusal distance of one of the Karate girls!
.Hii!
The Karate girl reflexively thrust out her fist to Michi!
.Then! The girl’s body flies in the air and her shoulder falls on the floor! Michi used the momentum of the fist to throw her off!
.You can be passive properly. Ladies?
Michi’s cold eyes fuel the fear of the three remaining Karate girls.
.Toaa!
They attack Michi all at once!
.Suu.haa.suu!
Michi’s body shakes like jellyfish in the waves, she evades the three people’s attack swaying.
.aahnn.doouu.toroaa!
Michi scoops from down the ankle of one girl’s kicking leg!
She twists the joint of the elbow stretched out by the another girl! At the moment the final girl tried to grasp Michi.her body flipped and she thrust the girl’s throat from below.
.Guee!
The three girl’s anguished screams overlap.
Each of them fell on the floor and groan in pain!
.The four of them are now unable to fight. As an athlete, I didn’t give them any injury to hinder them so it’ll be fixed after a week rest. Please continue to practicing with your friends after this Shoulder.ankle.elbow.holding down the throat, Michi expressionlessly talked to the suffering Karate girls.
.You may have been tempted by Kudou Haruka but, if you experience this, you’ll go back to the world of sports
Margo-san told the girls.
You have rules, and fight one-on-one on a place where there is a referee, don’t you? Our world doesn’t have that. There’s no fouls nor referee. And.the number of opponents would differ in time and place!
Smiling.Margo-san looks at Kudou Haruka.
Michi and I have been training 1 vs. many. In addition.you have to protect someone!
.That’s right.
Margo-san kept hunting delinquents and Yakuza at night town. .She takes down multiple opponents while protecting Nei-san. So that was an actual training.
.scary
Yukino clings to me.
.Seriously. I embrace Yukino’s shoulder tightly.
Now then.Aneue
Michi once again looks up her sister.
.Kudou style ancient marital arts secret is on the breathing method
Again, she waveringly.shaking irregularly apprach her sister.
The whole secret of the martial arts is to.feel the enemy’sQiinterrupting thatQiand create agapand and attack.
.Qi?
Look.Japanese likes to sayread the airdon’t they?
Margo-san smiles at me.
In that case theQiflows in theAir Humans areindividualswho hold separate wills, but they’re aen masse creaturewho needs to live ingroups Therefore they take care of theirqiso they can communicate with other people’sqi Groupthat conforms a matchingqi The ability to senseQiand synchronize themselves is a power every human is born with!
Then.the essence ofqiis breathing2 Match thebreathingwith the opponent.match the rhythm of the pulse. Those who completely synchronize theirqisynchronizes the biological body rhythm itself!
Margo-san.Michi?
What are you guys talking about? I don’t get it.
Consequently.the mystery of martial arts is to synchronize the qiwith the enemy and freelydetachfrom the synchronization
Michi said.
Drawing your opponent to your ownqiworld.and swallowing your opponent I guess. That is theqisynchronization. Then.at the moment, they’re swallowed in, you can strike them by withdrawing yourself from the synchronization.and taking the enemy’s gap to attack .Margo-san.
I see, Margo-san’s fighting style is always surprising the enemy. She creates a gap in their mind and reap it quickly.
But.Kudou style ancient martial artsis different!
Michi’s body sways again.
Kuodu style ancient martial artsnever synchronizes with the enemy’sqi Refusing to match theqi.they always shift the focus of the opponent’sqi Therefore.we can do this special breathing other schools can’t immitate!
Shurururu.suu.suuhahahahaa.suu.suu!
An irregular.unstable breathing.
Michi’sbreathextends to the darkness with an eerie rhythm.
Father seems to be fooling around when fighting because.the essence of this is to not let the enemy realize your breathing method
Wearing a fancy dress on purpose.strange weapons and and clumsy manner.
It is so the enemy won’t notice the special breathing method.
Then.aneue. You will receive our ancestral skills with your life!
Michi’s body bends!
She jumped to her sister’s bosom at a tremendous speed!
.hyaa!
The frightened sister thrusts out her right fist in reflex!
Kudou Haruka’s right arm bent on an impossible direction!
Gya!
It’s my first time hearing the sound of people’s bone breaking
Kyaa!
Yukino clings to me.
Margo-san and Minaho-neesan calmly watches.
Prepare yourself!
Michi’s hand approaches Kudou Haruka’s neck!
.Shit! If this continues, Michi would really kill her sister! I have to stop her! But.Yukino’s clinging is getting on my way! I can’t move quickly!
You two! What are you doing!
A woman’s scream came from the stairs!
Don’t move.I’ll shoot!
In the middle of the stairway.a woman holding a postol!
.That is.
Michii.stop this!
That is.
Michi and Haruka’s mother. Kouzuki security service general security department.Kudou Etsuko.
.Michi, stop
Using the gap Kudou mama created.I speak to Michi.
The enemy’s not killed yet however?
Michi ignores her own mother holding a gun and answered me.
I saidwith the intent to kill.I didn’t tell you tokill!
Michi lowers her hand aiming at her sister’s windpipe.
I follow Master’s orders
Then, she throws down her elder sister’s body on the theater basement floor like throwing garbage
.Bugaa!
Kuodu Haruka with a fractured right arm screamed loudly.
What have you done!
Kudou mama rushes over her daughter in hurry.
Even though I told you so much not to fight Haruka seriously!
.Does that mean?
Kudou mama.she’s Kudou papa’s childhood friend. Of course.she knows all ofKuodu style ancient martial arts Even what happens if Michi seriously fight her sister.
Aneue has become myenemy.
Do you intend to kill your sister! .If it’s to protect my lord then there’s no other way Don’t be stupid!
Michi’s mother pulled her.
Michi didn’t avoid it.
.You’re just like that man. He can ignore his own family members just forKudou style ancient martial artsand irrelevant matter!
Kudou mama scolds Michi with a demon look.
I’m the successor ofKudou style ancient martial artsbefore being your daughter.
Michi answered without changing her complexion.
If you’re theenemyof my lord.even if it’s my sister, mother, even father, I will fight them!
.You’re Crazy
Kudou mama insults Michi.
.Haruka, are you okay?
The mother calls out the sister whose arm is broken by the little sister.
I just broke the bone in the upper arm, it’ll be fixed right away. It’ll take more than half a year to recover but.she can still go Karate
Margo-san said with a smile.
A guard of aprostitution organizationshouldn’t speak that proud!
Kudou mama turns her anger to Margo-san.
What about you?You’re just an employee of a security company aren’t you? Don’t be so arrogant as you’re not someone who’s not even stuffing her face on the underground world
I’m an employee of Kouzukiu security service! I’m different from you!
Kudou mama turns her disdain toKuromori.
.A woman who’s having an affair with another man than her husband shouldn’t be selfish
Michi tells her mother.
You’re just a child, don’t criticize your parents!
Kudou mama tried to slap Michi again!
.But. This time, Michi avoid her mother’s hand. She poked her mother’s neck. Kuodu mama then fell on her back.
Michii.yoouu!
Kuodu Haruka looks up at her sister while enduring the pain in her arm.
Even though you’re that strong.you’ve been hiding that from me all this time?
Kudou Haruka sheds tears of regret.
It seems that she can’t agree that she lost to her sister with an overwhelming power difference.
I was ordered by this one to not win against Aneue
Michi calls her motherthis one
She no longer wants to admit Kudou Etsuko as her mother.
Mother.why?
Kudou Haruka looks up at her mother while crying.
This girl is a child ofKudou style ancient martial arts This girl has been thinking the way ofKudou stylesince she was born. Even though nobody taught her, she understood how to fight usingKudou style.no, no matter how much I taught her, she can’t understand the rules of ordinary combat sports. She’s a girl who can’t do anything butKudou style!
Does that mean?
.I’m not interested in fighting as a sport. A definite 1 on 1, time limit, foul moves.I can’t understand the judgement of a referee. Is that even related to realcombat!
Michi’s only interested inactual combatkilling each other seriously.
This girl’s a genius. He said. There’s no one as precocious as this child among the successors ofKudou style ancient martial arts.but
Kudou mama speaks hatefully.
This girl’s power can only be used in theunderground worldat current times. She’s a meaningless genius!
Kudou Haruka looks up at her sister.
Then.her not winning on a karate match against me.
Margo-san speaks.
Michi-san’s already an adult so she tries to respect the rules of a Karate match. Therefore, she’s confused. Michi looks for a way to beat down the opponent surely regardless of the rules. That is largely framed by the martial arts of karate so she can’t do it as she want, she’ll lose Yes.I can’t move freely in Karate’s frame
Michi confessed.
Michi.since when you were convinced that you could win against me?
The tree years older elder sister asked her little sister.
Michi.
Ever since I was at the age of consciousness, I never felt inferior to Aneue!
You thought that I was weaker ever since you were born? You’ve always been making fun of me all this time!
Tears of frustration and hate falls down.
.I’m very sorry
Michi bows her head to her sister.
Either way.this world is impossible for you. You should go back to the world of sports with your friends
Margo-san spoke coldly to Kudou Haruka.
Dammit.everyone knew and mocked me for being weak.dammit!
Kuodu Haruka trembles as she cry.
Either way, my talent is only this far.I’m so weak that I can’t even beat my little sister!
Since I knew this would happen.I told Michi to not fight Haruka seriously and yet!
Kudou mama glares at Margo-san and Minaho-neesan.
.I hate you all. I’ll never forgive you
Margo-san.
No.her weakness isn’t her talent or her body
Kudou mama and the elder daughter looks up at Margo-san with eyes of anger.
Her weakness is her heart
.No
.Heart? Even Michi’s not strong at all.
Michi.
Michi reacts to my call.
Yes.Master?
Throw away your house at this moment.dedicate your life to me and Misuzu .Certainly
Michi turned to her mother and sister.
Farewell. Thank you for raising me this far. I express my gratitude to the two of you
Michi.what are you saying?
The mother’s surprised.
I have completely become theKudou style ancient martial artssuccessor, both in body and mind. I can no longer go back to you, myfamilyanymore
Michi.
Please dispose all of my personal belongings. I’m sorry for giving you trouble!
Michi.don’t be ridiculous!
Her sister shouts.
As a warrior.I met my lord to devote my life to. I will follow this road. Stay in good health!
I.
Misuzu and I will be taking Michi. She’ll be living for our sake. She’ll give birth to my child!
Michi who’s been expressionless towards her mother and sister.had her spine shivered.
.Master!
Michi earlier said that the originalKudou style martial artsis turning oneself to alethal weaponwith no will
In short.Michi hasn’t thought how should she use her overwhelming combat power on her own. As a warrior.she believes to dedicate all her power to her lord. It is as Misuzu said. Michi needs a person todominateher If there’s no one.Michi will be crushed by her own power.
Stay by Misuzu and my side. You only need to think about Misuzu and me
Yes.certainly Don’t make that face.I’ll treat you the same as my friends. You want to be loved by Misuzu and me don’t you?
.Michi
Yes.master
Then, take an attitude that would please Misuzu and me.our pleasure is your joy. Isn’t that right.Michi! .I will bear that in mind
then.Michi smiled clumsily.
Well.this is fine for a first time.
Let’s kiss.Michi
I embrace Michi.
Please.my everything is Master’s. Please do as you like
I pile my lips with Michi,
Kudou mama and her the elder sister looked at us bitterly.
I’ll never forgive you all.I’ll use everything to take you down.Kuromori!
Kudou mama speaks her curst to Minaho-neesan instead of me.
We don’t intend to ask forgiveness from anyone however.
Minaho-neesan replied with cold eyes.
We are risking our lives for our own survival. If Michi-san isn’t under his and Misuzu-san’s rule.then we won’t be accepting her!
Kuodu Michi-san.welcome toKuromori!
Nei-san said with a smile.
.Michi
.Thank you
She said and bowed her head.
Kudou Mama called the medical team of Kouzuki security service.
The four Karate girls and Kudou Haruka received emergency treatment. Kudou Haruka’s broken arm is braced. The other girls also had the parts Michi hurt, fixed.
I think it would be painful but.we can’t make a fuss in the theater right now. Walk on your feet and get out of the building. Okay?
udou mama told her daughter and the girls.
It’s before the opening of theJapanese traditional dance symposium They can’t call in ambulance in the theater. They had to be taken by the Kouzuki security service personnel outside in a place where the performers and the guards from famous houses can’t see. It’ll hurt the honor of the company.
I’m sorry.mother
Kudou Haruka apologized only to her own mother.
It’s okay.director Yamaoka had prepared a car for you all
Using that car.Kudou Haruka and others would be brought to the hospital.
By the way, Haruka-san!
Nei-san calls her.
.You do remember your first promise, don’t you? Ushishishi
The first promise.
If she lost to her sister.Kudou Haruka would be a prostitute ofKuromorionly once.
.What?
Kudou mama shows strong vigilance.
Kudou Haruka.
Even I intend to stay in the Karate. I won’t go back to what I said!
The karate girl who had her arm broken by her sister swore to fulfil her promise.
1. That’s breathing sounds
2. This is Hamon
Chapter 225
We head to the stage wing from thetheater basementonce again.
Kudou Haruka and her four injured followers were walking on their feet, holding down the part that hurts. Kudou mama and the emergency personnel are with them. They head from the entrance to the dressing room to outside the theater. They head to the hospital avoiding public eyes. We saw them off and head towards the dressing room where Misuzu is. We’ve got to return to the front of the dressing room or you won’t be able to return tot he lobby.
It’s quite flashy once again
Kouzuki security service cheif Tanizawa is waiting for us in the corridor where the dressing rooms are lined up.
It’s this girl’s overwhelming victory. She broke her arms without hesitation
Margo-san narrates the fight to chief.
It’s very brave of her breaking her real sister’s arm
Chief Tanizawa looks down on the petite Michi in admiration.
No.that much spirit would be promising in the future. Kudou Haruka’s skill is only losing her anger.if you slip through it and decide the match in one shot, I think it’s quite a big deal
Chief Tanizawa seems to have checked Kudou Haruka’s ability when she was employed.
The chief analyzes Michi’s ability to take down her sister who’s the top at high school Karate.
Though the skills can be mastered through time.the mind’s not good yet. At that age, if you’ve got guts, then I look forward to your future growth. I intend to let the elder sister be recruited just for formalities but.this lady can be officially recruited in the training frame It seems that Michi and Haruka are in temporary employment in Kouzuki security service.
Tanizawa-sama.I’ve got a request
Michi asks the Kouzuki security service’s executive.
Please delete my membership
Chief Tanizawa’s surprised.
.Ojou-chan, are you saying you’re leaving the company?
I will be serving Misuzu-sama as an individual in the future However.you won’t get a salary if you don’t belong to Kouzuki security service you know? We’ll be taking care of this girl’s salary.
Minaho-neesan told chief Tanizawa.
You?
Kuromoripaying up Misuzu’s guard fee.Chief Tanizawa can’t understand.
.Yes. I decided to affiliate myself withKuromori
Michi answered with a serious face.
What? You guys aren’t justprostitution ringbut also asecurity department?
Chief Tanizawa speaks sarcastically, Margo-san;.
That is not the case but.this girl can’t develop her talent on a big place like Kouzuki security service. That’s why we decided to take her in
No way.She’s going to be Nee-chan’s disciple? This girl’s master is only her father. I only have the standpoint of an elder sister who will study together with her! .But
Chief Tanizawa seems to be troubled about how to reply about Michi’s transfer.
Tanizawa-san, I don’t mind it so could you let Michi-kun do what she wants?
Turning my gaze to that voice.
Kudou papa is together with Katsuko-nee.
.Father!
Michi bowed to her father.
I just met Etsuko and Haruka.Etsuko glared at me
Kudou papa answers.
If the father says so then it can’t be helped.to be honest, it’s not fun to have a girl who could become thefuture strengthof our company be taken away
Chief Tanizawa said.
Chief didn’t see Michi’s fight earlier. For the chief, Michi’s still agirl with a promising future
Besides.I don’t think this girl’s success could be entrusted to a tinyprostitution organization
Chief Tanizawa glared at Minaho-neesan as he speaks.
Are you saying that Kyouko-san and I can’t guide Michi-san properly?
Margo-san smiled.
I’m not saying that but.apart from Nee-chan, Kyouko-san’s out of standards
.Out of standards?
If it’s a human resource like Margo-neechan.I’d be gladly welcoming her to Kouzuki security service. Nee-chan’s skill has no kink. On practical use.as expected, unless you’re guarding an VIP with orthodox method, it won’t work Kyouko-san’s orthodox too
Liar.she’s a bottomless unorthodox. She can calmly put the
VIP
she should protect as a bait and uncover the hostile forces, right? That’s a misunderstanding. Kyouko-san serious at her work. She won’t make mistakes on her purpose and methods. She won’t put the person to guard in danger. But.she can calmly abandon someone who she doesn’t guard Margo-san said.
Right. If Kyouko-san was here right now.she’d definitely protect the people’s safety in the theater but she’ll turn the guards from Kouzuki security service as shields. Those who chose guard as profession should be prepared as a matter of course, Kyouko-san can make that decision Minaho-neesan laughs.
Looking at it.she’s not fit for a large organization
As an executive of a security company.you also need to pay attention to the safety of your staff.
You should be ready to throw away your lifeit would be troubling if you instruct with that assumption. Chief Tanizawa and Kyouko Dothnomechey-san have different fundamental mindset.
In that sense.Kudou Michi-san is a talent close to us
Margo-san told the chief.
Don’t be ridiculous.She’s still a small girl. That can be fixed depending on the future education!
For Chief Tanizawa.as an employee of Kouzuki security service, an employee that’s disciplined is the best.
Sadly.this girl’s combat ideology has already been perfected. She’s the successor of theKudou style ancient martial arts
Is that so, Kudou?
Chief looks at Kudou-papa.
Her spirit is drawn towardsKudou style ancient martial arts More than me.
Then? Yes.I think it’s impossible to straighten her out. Even if she enters our company.she’ll only belong to the underworld like myguard department That’s why you want her out? Yes.a small caliber like me can’t teach this girl I don’t think Kyouko’s a woman with such a big caliber!
Chief Tanizawa thinks.
.Promise me one thing. Don’t let this girl entertain a guest ever
Chief looks at Minaho-neesan.
I promise.Kudou Michi won’t be a prostitute
Minaho-neesan declared clearly.
Got it.I’ll allow the transfer
Chief Tanizawa told Michi.
However.you should ask for Misuzu-ojouchan’s permision properly. Also, if you’re fed up withKuromoriyou can always come back to Kouzuki security service. Make sure to keep those two
.Certainly
Michi replied.
Then, why are you here?
Chief Tanizawa asks Kudou papa.
Well you see!
Kudou papa whispered something to Chief’s ear.
.What?
Perhaps.it’s about Miss Cordelia and the white Viola.
Then.what happened to those guys?
They’ve already gotten out of site. I’ve let my reserve guys tail them Then.did you tell this to Yamaoka already? .Well you see
Kudou papa makes a troubled face.
He’s too stiff.so if he discovers this situation, he’ll just turn the defense frozen you know?
Even if you say that.Yamaoka’s the one responsible for this field. There’s achain of command
Chief Tanizawa complains at Kudou papa skipped director Yamaoka and reported to the position above
I’m not good with him.
Got it. Anyway, let’s go to the headquarters. I’ll talk to Yamaoka .Thanks Both of your daughters have disappeared from the control of our company. We need to have Misuzu-ojousan and Ruriko-ojousan a guard. Can’t we just have Tanizawa-san’s subordinates for that?
Kudou papa asks.
.Is that your aim?
Yes.Yamaoka’s guys don’t have enough experience nor skill True.theenemieshave penetrated through the guards Yamaoka has assembled. They’re not normal enemies They can’t cope with babysitting and guarding them
I see.as expected, guarding a child is a low status for them
Got it.leave it to me
Chief Tanizawa calls out the man in black suit near to him.
Sugai, guard this place. I’m going to the headquarters for a while
.Roger Also.call Fujimiya to the headquarters .Yes
The man called Sugai took out his phone immediately.
Eh.you’re letting Fujimiya guard the ladies?
Kudou papa’s surprised.
Are you dissatisfied with Fujimiya?
It’s the opposite.isn’t Fujimiya the top among Tanizawa’s unit? There’s no other woman vacant
Chief tanizawa smiles wryly.
But if Fujimiya’s onoffense and defense, isn’t she a definiteattackwoman?
She’s got good sensitivity todanger She’s qualified for the current situation The other guards from other houses would be frightened you know? Don’t care, let them be. I think they should have that much tension
That Fujimiya seems to be a scary person.
Besides.me taking out Fujimiya is an effective message to the other houses and to Yamaoka too
Chief Tanizawa seems to be putting pressure on the venue in a good sense.
Uhm.if you’re going to report to the headquarters, should I accompany you
Katsuko-nee asks anxiously.
No, it’s possible that Yamaoka would make a strange misunderstanding if you were there. Leave this to me.
Chief Tanizawa said.
Un. If he misunderstood.then it would be troublesome if he thought we’re connected with Miss Cordelia. We should leave director Yamaoka to Chief tanizawa.
.Let’s go. Kudou
.Sure
Chief Tanizawa and Kudou papa heads to the headquarters in quick pace.
Let’s go back to the lobby for now
Minaho-neesan said
You can go to Misuzu’s dressing room along with Michi-san
.Eh?
You have to report to Misuzu-san don’t you?
True.that’s right but.
While we’re at it, come anc take Megumi-chan and Mana-chan
Margo-san smiled at me.
Right. If they stay there all the time.they’ll only trouble Misuzu and Ruriko-san.
I’ll be the one to take care of Kuroko-chan!
Nei-san said while looking at Yukino who’s sticking to me.
Yukino’s been holding the hem of my suit all this time since the fight a while ago.
I.
Hey, Kuroko-chan, come here!
Nei-san pulled Yukino from me.
I’ll be with them so don’t worry.Michi-san can remain at the dressing room until chief Tanizawa’s subordinate comes in to guard Misuzu and Ruriko
.Roger
Margo-san gives her instructions.
Michi and I head to Misuzu and Ruriko-san’s dressing room.
There were a lot of girls who changed to their stage dress in the hallway already. Each of them have an adult woman wearing a suit. Oh, so this is what chief Tanizawa meant bybabysitting and guardinga while ago. True, they have a different feeling from the male guards gathered at the entrance of the dressing room. Though they’ve been properly trained.they don’t look like they’re specialized in combat ability. It’s needed to be a calm woman when you have to guard small children.
Master, this way
Michi walks abruptly.
Michi, you’ve come here before?
Yes. This symposium occurs every year. Our ladies have been using the same dressing room!
Each of the dressing room has a name printed on paper and pasted on the door.
Most of the performers are using a shared big room but. Misuzu and Ruriko-san have a private room assigned for them.
Excuse me!
When I speak out from the outside.
Yees?
Mana shows up from the inside.
Ah, Onii-chan! Michi-san too!
Mana happily looked at me.
Can we enter now?
Misuzu had to change her clothes.
I asked Mana just in case.
Wait a moment!
Mana goes back to the dressing room.
Misuzu-san, Onii-chan and Michi-san is here!
.Please come in!
I hear Misuzu’s voice from inside.
.Then, excuse me
Excuse me
Michi and I go in the dressing room together.
The dressing room was six tatami mats wide. There are two dressers having Misuzu and Ruriko-san sit in front of each. Both of them are already in their Japanese clothing.
Welcome
Ruriko-san greeted me.
Ah.Sorry to disturb you before your performance
Please don’t mind it. We’re still not on stage. Misuzu-san and my turn would be very late
.Speaking of which
Misuzu.what about stage rehearsal?
Misuzu smiled wryly
I’m waiting for the stage director to call me now. It seems that they’re pushing the overall time
.Will you make it?
There’s not much time left before the opening time though
At worst, they’ll make only light adjustments.and they might not have the time to check my dance from the beginning to end
Would you be fine in that situation? Yes.this is normal for us late performers
Misuzu seems to be used to this situation.
The headmaster dancing at the last always dance on main event without practice
Well.she has to check everyone’s practice carefully.
She’s considerably tired from that and she can’t confirm her own dance. But.the headmaster is a professional dancer. She has the capability to dance in front of the audience without problems no matter what situation it is.
Then.how was it?
MIsuzu asks about the result of the match between Michi and Kudou Haruka.
Un, what happened, Onii-chan?
Mana looks at my face in curiosity
Next to Misuzu, Megu’s also paying attention to me
Michi’s win.an overwhelming one
When I answered.Mana;
As expected.I thought it’s absolute!
Mana’s frolicking
No.it wasn’t on the level Mana imagines. It was a perfect victory at a ridiculous level.
Then.what happened to Haruka-san?
Ruriko-san asks me,
Haruka-san’s arms hurt a bit so she left early. Her mother’s with her.
As expected, I can’t tell that Michi broke Kudou Haruka’s arm.
It might be too stimulating for Ruriko-san and others.
Oh, her mother also belongs to Kouzuki security service!
Yoshiko-san calmly said.
Yes, they’re heading to the hospital with great care. Her four friends are accompanying her
To be accurate, the four of them are also sent to the hospital by Michi but I won’t speak of the details.
Then.about Ruriko-san’s guard after this
Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san’s face turned serious as they listen to me.
Chief Tanizawa seems to have sent Fujimiya-san
My, Fujimiya-san?
Ruriko-san’s surprised.
She’s too good to be my guard!
Ah, he said something about no other women can be a guard this time
Anyway.I speak about what I know.
Then that can’t be helped but.I somehow feel sorry for her, don’t you think Yoshiko?
Yes, Ruriko-sama!
The two ladies look at each other.
.Uhm, Misuzu-sama
Michi speaks to her master
What’s wrong.Michi?
Michi looks straight to Misuzu.
But she’s nervous she can’t speak.
Michi has decided to devote her life to her masters, only Misuzu and me.
Instead.I reported to Misuzu.
.Is that so? She swore her loyalty to Danna-sama and me
Michi.
Yes.I’ll devote my life to the two of you!
Michi speaks in a hoarse voice.
Then.she’s leaving Kouzuki security service
A long as she’s a member of Kouzuki security service.
She would be bound by the chain of command of the company Since she swore her allegiance only to Misuzu, she won’t listen to her boss.that kind of selfishness won’t be allowed.
Right.that’s way better
Misuzu consents
For the time being.on the outside, I will be affiliated with Kuromori-sama
Michi avoids to use the organization nameKuromoribecause we’re in front of Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san.
Understood.
Misuzu smiles happily.
Well done making up your mind. Danna-sama and I will be loving you a lot okay.
Misuzu seems to be satisfied from the bottom of her heart that she got Misuzu free from the hands of her family and Kouzuki security service.
On that topic.Misuzu-sama
Michi looks up at Misuzu.
Actually.earlier, I have committed a blunder of not keeping Master’s order a while ago
.Eh?
That happened?
Master.Yoshi-kun?
Megu’s surprised at Michi’s change.
Yes, he is my master.
Michi looks at me.
Michi.explain what blunder you have done in detail
Misuzu ends the talk aboutMaster
She’s worried that Megu will feel strange jealousy against Michi.1 Michi.
Yes. Master has given me an order tofight my sister with the intent of killingbut.I have misunderstood it as an order tokill
.Err?
That thing happened right.
Fortunately.before I cut the enemy’s throat, mother has intervened the match.and Master has corrected my misunderstanding at that time
No.it’s not like a big problem happened. Kudou Haruka’s injured but alive!
I tell Michi in panic.
No! I’ve misunderstood Master’s orders and made a mistake of attacking for a certain death!
Michi.why are you saying that?
I don’t get what’s Michi’s intention.
Understood.Michi
Misuzu grins.
In short.you want to be punished by Danna-sama?
Me.punish Michi?
.Yes. If possible
Michi bows her head to me.
Danna-sama.what kind of punishment should you give Michi?
Misuzu whispers to me
.I
Michi.what kind of punishment do you think is appropriate?
Because I’m not replying, Misuzu asked what Michi hopes for.
Michi.
.My butt
.Butt?
Please beat my butt violently
.Beat?
It what meaning?
She’s asking to have her butt slapped strongly!
Misuzu tells me with an aroused face.
1. lol, sasuga Megu, jelly of everything
Chapter 226
Slap Michi’s ass?
me?
Michi wishes for Danna-sama to do it, is that correct?
Misuzu smiles.
Yes, I’d like to be punished in front of Misuzu-sama
Michi said with a red face.
At that moment, I understood everything. This isn’tpunishment MIchi wants areward!
Ruriko-san. No matter how trivial it is, a guard shouldn’t make a mistake. However, Michi’s still young.I think that hitting her butt will be enough as a punishment
Misuzu speaks to the surprised Ruriko-san.
It seems that it’s Misuzu’s strategy to show Michi’s foolery in front of Ruriko-san.
.uhm.Should Yoshiko and I go out?
Ruriko-san asked embarrassed.
No, if possible, I’d like Ruriko-san to watch. Ruriko-san doesn’t have a retainer but Yoshiko-san for now.there’s no need to worry for Yoshiko-san to fail because she does everything well but.
Please don’t be absurd
Yoshiko-san denies it in panic.
I am still inexperienced in my work.
That’s not true. Misuzu knows how much loyal Yoshiko-san to Ruriko-san. But.Ruriko-san will be succeeding Kouzuki house someday and in the future, you will have a lot of people following you other than Yoshiko. Yoshiko-san isn’t someone who can do anything. I think there will be people who will make mistakes True.I don’t think that I will be Ruriko-sama’sretainerforever
Yoshiko-san answered with a puzzled look.
The lord must give firsthand punishment to his retainer who made a mistake. Furthermore, unless you punish them secretly so they won’t be dishonored in front of others, it would just be pitiful for the punished one. You have to give them punishment and make them regain oneself.it shows the Lord’s expectation and love .Yes, I see
Ruriko-san’s drawn by Misuzu’s plausible speech.
Therefore.for a young girl like Michi, I thinkbutt slappingis a proper punishment. Ruriko-san will also have a time to punish someone soon so please observe. Michi, do you mind?
Not at all.please have a look
Michi also tells Ruriko-san.
If you say so.then I will take a look!2
Ruriko-san answered with tension.
Let’s do it.okay, Yoshiko?
If Ruriko-sama says so.
Yoshiko-san’s also being pulled by Misuzu’s strange logic.
Megumi-san and Mana-san are myfamily.so you will watch Michi’s punishment as a matter of fact, right?
Misuzu speaks to Megu and Mana.
This is a private punishment.please refrain from telling others, for Michi’s honor. And, when thebutt slappingended, Michi’s sin will be forgiven. Everyone, is that okay?
Misuzu looks at the people in the room.
Un, got it! We won’t tell anyone that Michi-san was beaten!
Mana said with a bright face.
I will be watching properly too
Megu answered with an embarrased face.
Then, Michi.how many times do you want your butt be beaten by Danna-sama?
Michi glanced at me.
.Ten times, please
My, isn’t that too much?
Misuzu rejects it immediately.
Danna-sama, please hit her with all your might. If you hit her ten times then Michi’s butt would swell!
I don’t mind if it swells!
Michi said but.
You can’t.I’ll allow only five times
Misuzu said.
Danna-sama is very kind.he would feel sorry if he does beat your butt for ten times
.No
I’m just surprised by this development. To be honest, I don’t think that five or ten times does matter.
Then, please do it with all your might five times
Michi looks at me.
her eyes are moist and hot.
Michi.you’re saying it wrong
Misuzu guides her further.
At this situation.you have to pleadmake it hurt
Michi swallows her saliva.
.master. please make it hurt
.I
Got it.Michi
Now that it comes to this.there’s no choice but to do it.
Michi.raise up your skirt and show your butt
Misuzu orders her.
MIchi slowly rolls up her prestigious middle girl’s school skirt. Michi’s thin legs. Michi’s skin is transparent white. This fifteen year old girl.there’s a red whip and electric baton, tied with black leather on her thighs that has no muscles yet. It’s like a garter belt. Michi’s panty today is black. The flesh of the third year middle school girl wearing a black underwear creates an immoral feeling. Michi points out her round ass to me.
.Get on all fours like a dog
Yes, Misuzu-sama
Michi makes a dog pose while sticking out her ass.
Raise your face and look at the mirror. You can see Danna-sama in the mirror, can’t you?
.I do
Michi and my eyes met in the mirror.
Michi’s face is completely enchanted.pleased from the punishment.
.Please
un
I get close to Michi’s ass.
What are you doing.Michi!
Misuzu’s scolding voice echoes!
what?
There’s no way you’d have your butt slapped by Danna-sama like that
.Eh?
Misuzu.what are you talking about?
You have to take off your panties! It won’t be a punishment unless you feel it with your skin directly!
.Take off her panties?
Then.I’m going to beat her raw ass?
i’m very sorry!
Hurry up and take it off! i’ll do it immediately!
Michi reached out for her own black panties.
Then lowered it smoothly.
Take it off properly!
yes1
Michi takes off her panties while in all fours.
White ass.a small anus and a hairless pussy is clearly visible. Only those two were colored salmon pink.
i took it off!
Michi’s black panties are rolled up to her right ankle
Danna-sama, please confirm the feel of Michi’s butt first.
.What?
You won’t know where to hit unless you touch it you know?
.I
Michi, I’ll touch your butt
Please enjoy it.
My hands touch Michi’s ass.
.Haa!
Michi’s sensitive.
A woman’s ass feels chilly. A smooth ass without any scratches. Michi’s ass has a soft elasticity like raw rubber.
.Ah, aah!
Michi’s face seems to be painful.
Michi.look
Misuzu whispers to Michi’s ears.
I’m watching.Misuzu-sama!
Is this a lesbian play where they don’t mind me?
No, I just have to enjoy the feeling of Michi’s ass for now. I rub her ass meat.
Ah.it’s embarrassing.it’s embarrassing, Misuzu-sama
Don’t look only at me.take a look at Danna-sama’s face in the mirror
Michi’s eyes are looking at me.
please do it right away!
Her passionate eyes look at me.
please make it hurt!
.I
I grabbed Michi’s ass once again. Raised my hand to the fullest!
.Let’s go!
.I swing down my hand!
It cut the wind and slapped Michi’s ass!
.Bachii!
.Hyaa!
Michi shed tears of delight from the first one!
.Second!
.Bachii!
.aahn!
My hand mark raises from Michi’s white butt!
.Third!
.Bashii!
.Ouuchh!
Michi’s skin turns sweaty.
.Four!
.Bishii!
.Hii!
I feel a hot liquid from the butt I beat up.
Michi’s love nectar is dripping from her slit,
.Fivee!
.Bashii!
.Kyaan!
The last blow digs into Michi’s ass!
I pushed my hand on it. After enjoying Michi’s butt for the last time, I let go of my hand. Michi’s butt is swollen red. There’s love nectar dripping from her vagina. She flopped and fell down on the floor.
See, five times was right isn’t it!
Misuzu smiled at Michi
.Misuzu-samaa?
Michi’s lightly absentminded.
Danna-sama.please embrace Michi tightly
Misuzu told me.
Michi has endured the punishment so please praise her
.I
.Michi
I embrace the small body that fell down on the floor.
A delicate small body.
You did well.that’s amazing, Michi
.Masteer!
Michi’s tense heart relaxed all at once.
Michi cried out in my chest.
.As expected, she was holding back
Misuzu said.
.i see. Her confrontation with her sister. MIchi has destroyed her sister’s body and pride. In spite of her mother’s strict order tonever win against her sister, she obeyed my orders. Afterwards.Michi remained expressionless as she bathe in her mother’s cold words. This fifteen years old girl pushed all this emotions into her small body and endured it. Then.it spouted after the punishment.
Michi.we’ll be together forever!
I embraced her small body tighty.
Michi, Misuzu and me will stay together. I won’t let you go!
.Uwaa!
Michi cries.
Loudly. The thoughts she pushed aside turned into overflowing tears. Michi has also lost her true family.
Yoshi-kun.I’m here too
Megu smiled.
That’s right. Onii-chan. Mana’s here together with you!
Mana comes to us.
.Michi-oneechan!
Mana talks to Michi.
Michi looks at Mana in surprise.
Mana’s still in second year so I can call you Onee-chan, can I?
.i
Michi’s confused though she’s crying.
I’ll call youMichi-san.but call meMegumi-oneesanokay?
Megu said
i.I am Misuzu-sama’s guard.
Misuzu speaks.
That’s right. Michi’s my guard.myfamily!
.family
You swore to protect me with your life didn’t you?
Yes.I swore
Michi answers while still embraced by me.
We’re together for the rest of time.isn’t that whatfamilyis?
.Is this okay?
Michi asks.
What does Michi want?
Misuzu asks Michi in reverse.
i.
The warrior girl who only knows the wordsLordVassalLoyaltyshe found herself at loss.
.Then.
You’re already afamily member Mana’s yourlittle sisterMegu is yourOneesan.Live with that thought
I order Michi as her lord.
yes.certainly
In the end.this girl got some fierce fighting ability but her heart is weak,
She always need someone to support her from behind. If she’s not pushed then she won’t move. Michi is a useless girl unless I watch over her.
If you have trouble or you don’t understand something then you can consult me anytime. Michi doesn’t need to worry alone anymore
.yes
Michi spill hot tears.
Michi’s such a crybaby
I lick Michi’s tears.
It’s salty and a slightly bitter.
Danna-sama!
Misuzu smilingly brought her face to us.
Then she licked Michi’s corner of the eye.
Misuzu-sama?
Michi’s surprised.
You don’t need to hold back in front of us. Michi can cry and laugh in front of us
Un.we’re family after all
Somehow.
Misuzu and I look like a married couple and Michi’s our daughter. Our cute small daughter.
We’re here too!
Mana interrupts the good atmosphere.
.Michi-oneechan!
Mana smiled at Michi.
.Michi
I’ll cherish you a lot.I’ll take care of you.Mana-san
But still, she’s being formal to herlittle sister
Well, she’s talking like that to her actual sister too. This might be the normal for Michi.
.It’s about time to let go
Michi told me with her eyes swollen from tears.
I’m already fine
She told me bashfully.
Ah, sure.
When I tried to release Michi’s body.
Michi, that’s not how you say it
Misuzu’s guidance comes again.
It’s wrong to order your master
.I’m very sorry Danna-sama.does it feel good to embrace Michi’s body?
I answered honestly.
Yeah, it does
Then, please hug her until you’re satisfied.Michi’s body is for Danna-sama after all
Misuzu smiles.
.Michi!
I embraced Michi’s body once again.
Michi too.embrace Danna-sama’s body
.Yes
Michi’s hands goes through my back then embraced me tightly.
How is it? Embracing and being embraced feels good doesn’t it
Yes.Misuzu-sama. But .What’s wrong, Michi?
Michi answered.
It feels so good that this might become a habbit!
Misuzu laughed.
It’s okay, make it a habbit. We’refamilyafter all. I also love embracing Danna-sama!
Mana too! I love being embraced by Onii-chan! Me too.I’m addicted to it
.I
Come at me!
I spread my left arm widely while embracing Michi on my right.
.Yes!
Misuzu and Mana jumped to my chest!
Megu embraced me from the back,
.Everyone’s the same!
Misuzu mutters.
.Before long.
We let go of each other. Everyone seems to have regained their energy. Smiling, they’re all cheerful. Michi who’s always expressionless is showing a refreshed face.
Master.I actually would like to consult about something
Michi asked me.
Sure.what is it?
I would like Master to embrace me Didn’t we just hug each other a lot earlier? .Not in that meaning
.Ah
I’d like to offer it while Misuzu-sama watches
.Err
Offer it, she means. Michi’s puirty. Megu and Mana stares at me.
You.that kind of thing.
I was ordered to make a consultation anytime
True.I did say that but.
Very well, let’s make an opportunity tonight.
.Misuzu?
In exchange.it’ll only be Danna-sama for the rest of your life
.Understood MIchi.how many people do you want to teachKudou style ancient martial arts?
Misuzu asked indirectly.
If possible.I’d like three
Then ask Danna-sama, not me Yes.Master. Will three be okay?
Michi asks me with her ears turned bright rerd.
.Give birth to three children? No.If Michi wants to bear children then there’s no helping it.
it can’t be helped
I answered.
Onii-chan, Mana would like one girl
Yoshi-kun, me too.
.Err
.I’m moved
While I was troubled, I hear a voice from behind.
When I turned around, Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san are crying?
Misuzu-san.it’s wonderful. What a wonderfulmaster-servantlove!
Ruriko-san’s been born at the heart of Kouzuki family.
Her grandfather’s the head of the family and her father’s the eldest son. Having no other family.since the age of three, Yoshiko-san who’s three years older is herretainer For Ruriko-san.all of human relationship ismaster slave
The love of a vassalfamilyis like this.
The scales have fallen off my eyes
Yoshiko-san said.
These two doesn’t know the various patterns of people’s relationship. ThelordRuriko-san andvassalYoshiko-san, they’re the only two in their world, isolated this whole time. These two grew up with only little contact besides themselves. The exception is KouzukiKakkaand Misuzu only. Even thehugswe did just now.they only understand it on the terms of master-servant relationship.
If Misuzu-sama and Kuromori-sama marries.it’ll really create a wonderfulfamily!
Ruriko-san thinks that I’m a man from a famous house somewhere.
Chapter 227
Ruriko-san, do you also want to embrace Danna-sama?
Misuzu made a proposal
Pardon? Me and Kuromori-sama?
Ruriko-san’s surprised.
Hug, a hug!
Misuzu said with a smile.
In the west, since ancient times, it’s an act of showing affection
.However
Ruriko-san’s puzzled
This is Japan.and hugging a man is somewhat.
Yoshiko-san who’s her retainer is also confused.
He’s my Danna-sama.1 He will become Ruriko-san’s relative so there should be no problem doing a dear hug
Misuzu attacks logically.
Ruriko-san, you will be meeting a lot of foreigners as the representative of Kouzuki house from now on.therefore, you should be accustomed to hugs starting today
She wants Ruriko-san and I to hug by all means.
It’s completely fine! Onii-chan’s not scary!
Mana jumps to my chest.
It can’t be helped.I hug her and pat her head.
Ehehe.Onii-chan, I love you!
Megu followed.
Yoshi-kun.me toe
Sure, Megu-oneechan, here!
Mana lets go and I embraced Megu this time.
.Stroke my back
Answering Megu’s wish, I pat her head while hugging her.
Un.I love it when Yoshi-kun does this
Megu looks at Michi.
Michi-san too.you want it again too, don’t you?
Ah, uhm.if possible
Michi speaks bashfully.
Yoshi-kun.do it
Megu switched with Michi.
.Michi
Michi’s body is really small.
i.I love being embraced filled with strength
Un, got it
I embraced Michi’s body to my heart’s content
Michi leaked out a hugehaa sigh
.Being embraced by master makes me feel relieved
.I
Michi’s so cute !
She looks dignified when in combat however.
Embracing Michi like this, she’s cute like a Japanese doll. Her white skin and black hair.big eyes and well shaped nose. She’s quite a beauty.
i.am not cute!
Michi says as her body tremble in my arms.
Michi.you must not deny your lord’s words. At such times, you must answer with: Thank you very much, I’ll stay as a cute woman so please love me a lot
Misuzu’s guidance enters.
i’m very sorry!
Michi looks up at me with her red face.
.Thank you for calling me cute. Please love me a lot from now on
.Sure
I stroke Michi’s hair.
Michi stretched her spine feeling confortable. .She’s like a cat.
Michi.it’s about time we switch
Misuzu said.
I also want to be hugged by Danna-sama.
yes!
Michi released her body.
Misuzu goes to my chest.
.Danna-sama
.Misuzu
Misuzu’s wearing a beautiful stage Kimono.
The Kimono smells insence.
.I will be dancing only for Danna-sama tonight
Yeah, do your best I love you. Danna-sama!
Misuzu hugs me.
.I hold Misuzu tightly. Misuzu’s silk clothes creates a rustling sound.
Ufufu.Danna-sama’s gotten energetic
Misuzu smiled at me.
Then, she looked at Ruriko-san.
What do you think, Ruriko-san About us hugging Danna-sama? It doesn’t feel scary at all does it?
Ruriko-san.
Yes. Kuromori-sama’s affection with everyone has been conveyed
Danna-sama is a very gentle person. He respects me and other women.he won’t force himself to embrace a woman’s body That is.even I understood that. Kurormori-sama embraced everyone gently
It’s seems that’s how Ruriko-san sees it.
I was just embracing everyone as usual however.
Therefore.I think Danna-sama would be the best way to practice hugging with Ruriko-san
Misuzu attacks.
Ruriko-san’s already 15.when meeting up with foreigners, you really need to give them a hug.
What should we do.Yoshiko?
Ruriko-san asks the girl three years older than her.
.I don’t know
Ever since six years old, she’s always been with Ruriko-san.Yoshiko-san also doesn’t have any experience with men.
Ruriko-san, have you ever hugged someone?
Misuzu asks.
I had with grandfather. Never with father. Yoshiko, we do hug sometimes
Ruriko-san answers
At night, when I feel lonely.I sleep embracing Yoshiko
Really.KouzukiKakkaare keeping these girls in quarantine.
Have you hugged a young man?
.Never Then, isn’t Danna-sama the best person for practice hugging?
Misuzu is trying to promote me.
That might be the case however
Ruriko-san’s confused.
Then, first.how about Yoshiko-san give Danna-sama a hug first?
Misuzu changes targets.
me?
Yoshiko-san’s puzzled.
Yoshiko-san is Ruriko-san’s retainer, you will be meeting up a lot more foreigners from now on. I think there will be occasions on parties where you will be asked for a hug!
KouzukiKakkahas thoroughly refused the opportunity of these two coming in contact with men thoroughly.
Then, it won’t change from now on. However, Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san thinks that they’re still children so they only think that they’re not called for adult gatherings. If they grow up a bit more.they had to attend parties. Misuzu knows their feelings. Misuzu herself has been on the same position as Ruriko-san, being isolated from men.
After Ruriko-san’s social debut, Yoshiko-san will be coming together too, won’t you?Yoshiko-san’s already an adult, you can’t do without giving a hug
Misuzu intends to start with Yoshiko-san
I don’t like to debut in the society
Ruriko-san said.
Staying in a world with only Yoshiko-san is with her.it must be frightening for her to go out to the adult world.
You do know that the successor of the Kouzuki house isn’t allowed to have such selfishness!
Misuzu looks at Ruriko-san.
Well.I do know but
Yoshiko-san rouse herself as she look at Ruriko-san who has a gloomy face.
Understood.then I will try to experience hugs
Yoshiko-san looked at me nervously.
This is for Ruriko-sama’s sake
Yoshiko-san comes to me.
Yoshiko-san’s wearing a purple kimono. She walks in small steps. Her skirt’s never thrown into disorder.this one’s also an Ojou-sama. If I recall, she’s 18 isn’t she? Looking at her closely.this person’s quite a beauty.
please!
Her body’s stiff.trembling.
Excuse me then
I embrace Yoshiko-san gently.
.Ah
Yoshiko-san leaked out a small voice.
.Don’t be scared, it’ll be fine
I whisper in Yoshiko-san’s ears
.yes
Yoshiko-san’s tension doesn’t go away.
Yoshiko-san.take a deep breath
Yes? Deep breath.breathe in
Yoshiko-san breathes in deeply.
I can feel her chest expanding.
Okay.then slowly breathe out
.Fuu
Yoshiko-san breathes out.
Not yet.breathe all of the air out of your lungs
She’s nervous so she can only breathe in so little and can’t exhale.
Therefore, I made her conscious of deep breathing.
Then breathe in deep.okay, breathe out. Let it all out.
After repeating deep breaths several times.
Yoshiko-san’s body has gotten soft. The hardness of her body is taken away.
Okay.looking good
I stroked her black hair on her back.
When her tension came off.Yoshiko-san’s flesh comes through clearly I can’t tell her chest that’s crushed by her kimono however. This one’s got a big breast. Her ass is well developed too. That said, her waist is thin and firm. As expected of an 18 year old.her body’s on the verge of becoming an adult. .No no. Evil thoughts will come up and be transmitted to Yoshiko-san. I should only concentrate on gently hugging Yoshiko-san’s soul. Her frightened soul hugging a boy for the first time.
.Yoshiko-san
.Yes Yoshiko-san’s body is so soft, warm.it feels good
I whisper in Yoshiko-san’s ears.
Kuromori-sama’s body.it’s solid, it is embracing my body firmly
Before I noticed, Yoshiko-san’s body has completely relaxed.
She’s entrusting her body to me.
I never thought that being embraced by a man feels this peaceful!
Yoshiko-san said.Misuzu;
Danna-sama’s very good at it. No man is as gentle as that when hugging
Yes.I think so too. Kuromori-sama’s kindness is being transmitted to me.
The girl who’s been forbidden to make contact with men until 18 years old gives her impression on her first physical contact.
Yoshiko-san.it’s about time Ruriko-san take her turn
Misuzu said.
Ah.Yes. I’m sorry
Yoshiko-san lets go of me in panic.
If you want to hug again then you can ask Danna-sama anytime. Danna-sama will be giving you an embrace anytime
Misuzu’s words.
Ah, yes.thank you very much
Her face turned red as she answered.
Now.it’s Ruriko-san’s turn
Ruriko-san’s nervous.
I.I
What’s wrong? Ruriko-san? .Uhm, after all
Is she embarrassed or scared?
Ruriko-san’s fidgeting.
Danna-sama.please
Misuzu smiles.
.Un If Ruriko-san won’t come then I should go to Ruriko-san
don’t come.i’m scared
Ruriko-san’s frightened.
.Look at my face
Ruriko-san’s face sayEh?
Look at my face
The big eyes of the 15 year old girl looks up at me.
.Are you scared?
.A bit
For a third year middle school girl.a man might be scary for her.
I’m not scary
I said.
No.it’s scary
Ruriko-san’s trembling
It’s not scary
Misuzu comes close then kisses my cheek in front of Ruriko-san’s eyes.
Yes, it’s not scary
Megu comes and kissed my other cheek
Un, not scary!
Mana kisses my ear.
Yes.Master isn’t scary at all
Michi kisses my neck.
My fourwomenturned to Ruriko-san’s back.
We’re here with you. It’s not scary!
Misuzu whispers to Ruriko-san’s ears.
.Then I’ll hug you, Ruriko-san
I spread my arms widely.
And embraced the small frightened body. I hug Ruriko-san closely. Misuzu and others embraced me and Ruriko-san.
.Ruriko-san’s heart is throbbing
The delicate body embraced tightly.a fierce heartbeat comes through.
yes.I!
I caress Ruriko-san’s nervous back.
.Hii!
Ruriko-san trembled.
She’s very sensitive.
.Leave it to me
I whisper to Ruriko-san’s ear.
.Leave everything?
Yes.Ruriko-san’s mind and body.to me. .But
Ruriko-san’s scared
.Ruriko-san
I said.
Yes?
I will protect Ruriko-san .Eh? Misuzu and I.myfamilywill make Ruriko-san happy what are you talking about?
Ruriko-san doesn’t seem to understand it
I’ll concentrate to the sound of Ruriko-san’s heartbeat. Ruriko-san, listen to my heart
.Kuromori-sama’s heart? Yes.press your ears to my chest and listen
Ruriko-san presses her ear to my chest.
.Dokun, dokun, it says
Yes, it’s because we’re living I.it’s my first time to hear the sound of other people’s heart
I pat Ruriko-san’s hair gently.
Slowly, gently. Bit by bit.Ruriko-san’s body’s stiffness is coming off. She’s relaxing. It’s not my strength alone. The warmth of the four body hugging Ruriko and me. Ruriko-san’s tension loosens.
Ruriko-san’s heartbeat has gotten calmer!
Mana said while embracing Ruriko-san’s back.
Danna-sama and Ruriko-san’s heartbeat are in sync.
Ruriko-san’s surprised from what Misuzu said.
.Me?
Yes.we’re becoming one right now
Our heartbeats overlap.
Just like one creature.
.It feels strange
Ruriko-san said.
I.I feel very close to Kuromori-sama
We’re embracing each other.
Misuzu-sama, and everyone else too.
Misuzu speaks to Yoshiko-san.
Yoshiko-san, want to join in too?
.Me? That’s right. Let’s all become one!
Megu reaches out for Yoshiko-san.
Now, come in!
Yoshiko-san enters to surround Ruriko-san and me
Listen to everyone’s heartbeat
Misuzu said.
Let’s all pile out heartbeats and let us become one
.Un Understood .Certainly
Mana, Megu, Michi.follows Misuzu’s instructions.
Pressing ears to each other’s body.we listen to the heartbeats.
L-Like this?
Yoshiko-san joined in too
Mana, your pulse is a bit fast.
Megu tells Mana.
Eh, what should I do?
Take a deep breath. You’ll feel calmer. Just remember the feeling of love from the other side
Misuzu tells Mana.
Yoshiko-san’s heartbeat, I think it’s slightly larger.
Michi said.
i’m sorry.
Please don’t apologize.leave your mind and body to us .Yes
.Before long
Ah.it overlapped
Un.our heart rings on the same rhythm
Our heartbeat’s synchronized.
So we can do this kind of thing too!
Ruriko-san’s impressed.
Yes, we have become one. Therefore.Ruriko-san
Misuzu speaks.
You are no longer alone with Yoshiko-san!
.Yes? We are all yourfamily .That is If someone had wicked thoughts.our heartbeats won’t overlap
True.Misuzu is right.
We do love Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san after all!
Ruriko-san.
I.grandfather told me not to believe people’s words. To be careful with kind words especially.
I continue to stroke Ruriko-san’s hair with the same rhythm as before.
Therefore.I don’t understand words very well But, this heartbeat.this warmth
Ruriko-san puts her cheeks to my chest.
Everyone.is myfamily, isn’t it?
I once again embraced Ruriko-san’s small body tightly.
Ruriko-san also hugs back. Misuzu, Mana, Megu, Michi.Yoshiko-san too. Ruriko-san and I are being embraced from outside,
What should I do?
.Ruriko-san?
I might come to love being hugged by Kuromori-sama
.Then I’ll give you hugs anytime you want But.Kuromori-sama is Misuzu-sama’s lover. It’s fine, Ruriko-san.we’re sisters after all. I don’t mind it at all. .But
Experiencing physical contact with a man for the first time.
Ruriko-san’s heart is shaking. Misuzu’sRuriko-san’s invitation planis going well
Please practice hugging a lot. Danna-sama and I will always be with you.
.Is this okay? In exchange, it’ll be a secret. It’ll be misunderstood when seen by others.you can only practice with Danna-sama.okay? .Yes, understood After hugs would be a kiss! .Eh, Misuzu-san?
Misuzu smiles.
You don’t know?In the west, you have to kiss when greeting people. You have to practice kissing too!
Misuzu’s lesson is escalating further.
but!
It’s practice. It’s fine. Misuzu’s Danna-sama will be with you properly! We’ll show you a good example!
Misuzu tries to kiss me.
.At that time
.Konkon!
The door of our dressing room was knocked.
.It’s Fujimiya
A dignified woman’s voice.
fujimiya-san? .O-Oh right. Chief Tanizawa said he would send a new escort to Ruriko-san!
Excuse me!
Fujimiya-san’s a woman so she opened the dressing room calmly.
shit! I’m still hugging Ruriko-san! The other girls are surrounding us! At this situation. how should I explain this?
.?!!!
The tall woman who opened the door and entered the room.
She’s looking at us in confusion.
What.is going on?
At that moment.
Megu shouted.
.Fight!
Megu, Mana and I shouted at the same time
.ooh!
Fight! Ooh! Fight! Ooh! Fight! Oh, ooh!
Then, we let go of each other!
Halfway, Misuzu and Michi also participated. Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san were stunned.
everyone’s psyching up before the actual performance!
Megu tells Fujimiya-san.
As expected of an athlete.
1. This can make Misuzu look possessive but it doesn’t mean that way, she’s saying that Yoshida’s her husband, well that’s what Danna-sama means when Misuzu speaks so please remember that
Chapter 228
I’m Fujimiya Reika. I’m appointed as Ruriko-sama and Misuzu-sama’s guard.my best regards
Kouzuki security service’s top ace, Fujimiya-san. As if, she’s dressed as a male role in Takarazuka. She’s cross-dressed as a British gentleman. Gray suit, brown best ten.blue necktie. Brown leather shoes. Though she’s a slender and tall lady.her male costume suits her well. Far from being strange.it upgrades her charm. This suit must be also a high quality article. I can tell by just looking at it. It’s perfectly fit to her body.it’s customade. Her short hair is beautifully combed. An amazing beauty. On top of that.she has elegance and grace. Standing with her spine stretched out.it conveys the lightness and toughness of her body. This person.she’s strong. She’s having a brown leather gloves in her hand. Then.she’s holding a thick cane.
I’m honored to have Fujimiya-san with us
Ruriko-san said with a smile.
I’m sorry.there’s an information that there’s a troublesome enmity that might infiltrate.
Fujimiya-san said calmly.
Is that so?
Yoshiko-san makes a worried face.
Please be relieved.My team is already mobilized
Fujimiya-san smiled.
Yes. Fujimiya-san came here so there’s nothing to worry about
Ruriko-san answered.
However, my body is only one so.I’m very sorry but Ruriko-sama, Misuzu-sama, please stay together for a while, Of course, Yoshiko-san too
Fujimiya-san clearly distinguishes Misuzu and Ruriko-san assamaand Yoshiko-san assan
Her subjects to guard will only be Misuzu and Ruriko-san.Yoshiko-san will only after it.
It’s possible that the enmity approaches Using Yoshiko-san. If you need anything, my group will accompany you so Yoshiko-san, please stay by Ruriko-sama’s side
.Certainly
Yoshiko-san replied.
After that.Fujimiya-san ignored us and looked at Michi.
You are MIsuzu-sama’s guard?
Michi lowers her head.
I’m Kudou Michi.
Fujimiya-san looked at Michi’s state.
Hmm.your posture is good. I can tell that you’re properly trained. Your grace is also good.you’re raised well!
Michi was analyzed by just looking.
This isn’t from Mr. Kudou’s education but from MIsuzu-sama’s guidance
Fujimiya-san made a conclusion.
Yes. Michi has enrolled in our school as my guard. She tries to be on the top class so she can be by my side as much as possible
Misuzu said.
Misuzu was the one who put MIchi on the super ojou-sama school.
She reached the first-class since she was smallif she’s not mingling with the first class people, she won’t master the real grace
Misuzu really loves this three years younger warrior girl.
Mr. Kudou is someone who posses a top-notch skill.but unfortunately, he lacks elegance. If he didn’t have that shortcoming, then he won’t be under the table but the top of the surface
Fujimiya-san said in regret.
I’m very sorry. Father loves working behind the scenes
Michi answered bashfully.
You have to negotiate with people hard to handle behind the scenes so Mr. Kudou can naturally take such attitude. If you serve for that long, you’ll become a person with a vulgar behavior
Therefore, I pulled out Michi from Kudou-san at early stage.
Misuzu answers.
Kudou-san has taught her only the practice of techniques but.majority of her daily life is with me
I think that’s an adequate judgement. Grace is something cultivated by every day life
Fujimiya-san said.
Surely, in three years, you will grow into a wonderful guard.you’re growing up to be an outstanding talent appropriate for chief Tanizawa’s eyes
No, Michi won’t belong to Kouzuki security service
Misuzu declared clearly.
Michi will always be my exclusive guard
Yes.I will serve only Misuzu-sama
Fujimiya-san.
Is that so? That’s regrettable. Belonging to Kouzuki security service means pledging loyalty to Kouzki house.certainly, it might be necessary to become a vassal only for Misuzu-sama. Ruriko-sama has Yoshiko-san with her.
Yes, therefore.Misuzu needs Michi
Ruriko-san has Yoshiko-san who’s three years old older than her as herretainer
On the contrary, Misuzu has Michi who’s three years younger as herguard
If something happened, you’re free to consult me anytime. Even if you’re not a member of Kouzuki security service.you’re a junior who protects Kouzuki house
Fujimiya-san told Michi gently.
Eat more and make your body grow more. Your endurance is still lacking as of now, isn’t it?
Yes.Thank you very much. Uhm, Fujimiya-sama. .What is it? Could you give me some training at least once? .Me? Yes. I would like to see the techniques of theIce SwordswomanFujimiya-sama
Michi bows her head to Fujimiya-san.
I do prefer my other alias
Fujimiya-san grips her cane firmly.
This isn’t even mentioned.when I have the time, I take as much enemies as possible. For some reason, I was called Beat to death Swordswoman.I’ll show you all my skills
.Beat to death Swordswoman
No way.does she beat up with that stick?
Fujimiya-san’s a first class fencer.and yet why do you not use swords?
Misuzu asks.
Swords aren’t suitable for the guards this era
Fujimiya-san answered.
When you cut bodies with sword, it’ll spurt blood.when that happens, it’ll hinder your combat with multiple humans. There’s blood sticking to the sword too, it’ll worsen the condition of the blade. If you swing it a lot of times, no matter what sword it is, it’ll chip, break, or bend. Above all, fighting with sword is terrible. It’s not something you should show to a subject who’s from a good family i see.
Fujimiya-san looks at her stick.
Canes originated in the west as a substitute to a sword. In the first place, it’s a weapon. However, in modern times, carrying around a stick isn’t considered armed. That’s the advantages of the cane. It also looks elegant too.
Fujimiya-san kisses the handle of the cane lightly.
This cane is customade.it weighs three kilograms. It’s made of special alloy so it’ll never break or bend. I love the striking power of this cane!
.Striking power
Even if the enmity is wearing a bulletproof vest.if I strike them with my stick, they’ll receive a fracture and be made impossible to fight. If they’re repelled quickly.then you can defeat the enmity without even the subject noticing Therefore she’s theBeat to death Swordsman
We are guards. If the assassin uses firearm then there’s no need to fear bloodstream.we have to avoid the blood flow thoroughly. The blood of the subject are ourselves.furthermore, we shouldn’t let the enmity’s blood flow. Blood seen by our subjects to guard means shame in our work. Therefore, I put everything in the blow. There is nothing I can’t break with my full power strike Fujimiya-san said.
I see, the thought of doing everything gracefully.is fundamentally different from Kudou papa. Kudou papa looks like he’s just kicking everything around. True, Kudou-papa can’t be trusted to guard a famous person.
.By the way, Fujimiya-san
Misuzu said.
Why are you not greeting the people important to me?
Speaking of which.
Fujimiya-san didn’t greet me, Megu or Mana. Or rather.we’re completely ignored. .Could this beー Is this because we’re fromKuromori? Fujimiya obviously knows our identity.
Fujimiya-san.you became my guard, right?
Misuzu speaks strongly.
Then.I think it’s reasonable for you to greet my dear friends
.Fujimiya-san.
Excuse my impoliteness. I’m Fujimiya Reika of Kouzuki security service!
She bows her head to us.
Fujimiya-san’s a first class professional guard. Even if she despisesKuromorifrom the bottom of her heart. She will follow the order of one of her masters, Misuzu
.Kuromori Kounosuke
I greeted with my alias.
Either way, Fujimiya-san knows my true identity. But, I decided to declare myself as a member ofKuromori
Yoshida Megumi
Yoshida Mana
Both of them bowed.
The namesYamamineandShirasakacan’t be spoken in this place.
I think there’s a lot of things happening but please.protect Misuzu and Ruriko-san
I told Fujimiya-san.
Please leave it to me
Fujimiya-san answered.
Then.we hear a knock.
.Yes?
Yoshiko-san answers.
It’s Kanako
.Kanako-san.
Come in
Ruriko-san answered, the door opened.
Kanako-san shows herself.
Thank you for the wait. Misuzu-san.it’s about time the person before Misuzu-san ends herstage rehearsalso please stand-by on the stage!
Kanako-san said in a hurry.
It’s because the opening time is approaching.
Understood, thank you
You’re welcome!
Kanako-san closes the door.
Why is Kanako-san coming instead of the stage director assistant?
Ruriko-san asks curiously.
Consideration. Ruriko-san is with me and on top of that, Fujimiya-san is here too !
The two successor daughters of Kouzuki house.and the top ace of Kouzuki security service.
Normal people would be frightened and find it hard to approach. Therefore.Kanako-san who’s friends with the two came all the way to call Misuzu. Kanako-san’s a good girl.
Then, I will be going. Danna-sama
I will head to the stage side too.Yoshiko Yes, Ruriko-sama
Earlier, Fujimiya-san said that they should stick together as much as possible.
Ruriko-san seems to have decided to go to the stage side along with Misuzu.
Un, we’ll go back to the lobby
I smiled at Misuzu.
We can’t go to the stage side with them. I’d like to see Misuzu’s dance on the real performance, not on training.
I’ll cheer from the audience seats.Misuzu and Ruriko-san, do your best
Yes, thank you very much. Kuromori-sama
Ruriko-san said.
Please wait when the symposium is over okay?
Misuzu told me.
.Yeah. Soon , KouzukiKakkawill be coming to this theater too. Misuzu’sfiancewill come too. I must confront them.
I know
I embraced Misuzu once again.
.Danna-sama, I love you
Misuzu told me in front of everyone watching.
Michi.Ruriko-san and I will be followed with Fujimiya-san. Please guard Danna-sama!
Certainly
Michi answers her lord.
We go back to the lobby together.
TheKuromorigroup occupied the sofa in the lobby.
Welcome back, want to drink coffee?
Katsuko-nee asked me.
Thanks!
Unlike earlier, the people in the lobby has increased.
It’s about time for the doors to open. At the reception, people of Konpeki school are starting their preparations. The children first coming out on thesymposiumare doing their last practice in the lobby. Of course, those girls have theirguardsandattendantswith them too. The security guards in Kouzuki security service uniform have also increased. In the lobby. Everyone fromKuromoriis clearly distinctive. Yeah. Something’s strange. Margo-san and Nei-san aren’t that strange. Katsuko-nee.she’s barely okay. Minaho-neesan.it’s slightly strange. Her dress isn’t strange however. It’s clearly isn’t an atmosphere of someone coming to see the children’s dance presentation. Then there’s Yukino. The hell are you? This black and yellow striped dress has too much destructive power. Wearing this on a public place, her hobby can’t be understood. Or rather.I don’t get what it means. The braid and the thick black edge glasses strengthens it further. Un, looking at her from the distance.she looks like an advertising character. It’s like an advertisement character of a honey product on a small local food company. Like she’s;Honey Soldier, Yukino-chan It made me want to eat pancakes.1 .Anyway When this group gathers.it’s extremely standing out.
.Maika Don’t get too close to me during the opening
Yukino tells Mana.
.Why?
She’s called Maika so she speaks to her sister in ill humor.
If we’re lined up then they might notice that we’re the daughters of Shirasaka you know? Your friends will be coming to watch today, won’t they
Yukino’s worried about that.
It’s okay. Nobody would notice that you’re Shirasaka Yukino. With your father’s scandal reported on TV. There’s no daughter who would come out to the public with such an interesting figure. If someone noticed it.they’d definitely avoid you.
Nei-san, do you have a magic marker?
Mana ignores her sister’s words and called out Nei-san.
I do, what’cha gonna do?
I’ll put a hugeShirasakaon Yukino-san’s forehead.
.Mana
As usual, she’s harsh with Yukino.
How was with Misuzu-san?
Margo-san asks me.
Minaho-neesan looks this way.
Misuzu and Ruriko-san have been entrusted to Fujimiya-san
You met her? Yes. We were in the dressing room when she came. What kind of impression you have with her?
Margo-san asks me.
Dignified and cool, I guess. I can tell that what she’s wearing is a first class item.her shoes were firm too
I speak my impressions right away.
Her behavior is clean, her speech too.Above all, she looks so strong, she feels reliable
Fujimiya is the top among the Kouzuki security service.she’s a first class
Yeah.true.
Somehow, Kouzuki security service feels strange doesn’t it? Kudou-san, chief Tanizawa, director Yamaoka, Fujimiya-san.all of them are different types of people
True, they have different atmospheres.
It’s because they have different departments
Margo-san said.
Kouzuki security service is a company specialized in protecting VIPs.
Err.what does that mean?
Yoshida-kun, how do you think Kouzuki security service accomplish their work?
Minaho-neesan asks me.
For example.if you receive a request from a person. It seems that I’m targeted by a bad guy so please protect me.and Kouzuki security service accepts that request.how do you think the job will be done?
.That is
To protect the person who made the request?
.How can you make sure that the person is protected? That is.defend the person and fight the the bad guys Sadly.that’s not how business works
Margo-san said.
Kouzuki security service have their guards contracted for a certain period of time. A month, three, half a year.or forever. If the guard is attacked during that period, it’s Kouzuki security service loss Why?
When they’re attacked, the subject will be in a dangerous situation right? If possible, nobody wants to be attacked, right?
Well.that’s certainly true.
Therefore the guard contract for Kouzuki security service, they issue a unit outside while guarding the subject at the same time. Those people will figure out who will attack the guard and drive them out thoroughly.
.Does this mean?
That’s right. Kudou-san is in charge with that kind of work
Thoroughly investigating and eliminating the assailant in advance.
If the contract period is one month.within one month, they will dispose all of the people who are targeting the subject
i see.
Kudou-san’sundersurfaceteam is actually fulfilling the core of the work. However, not everyone knows that. Even if you ask the person who asked for a guard, they sometimes don’t know. There’s a lot of people who rely on their secretary for buisiness.
What’s best for customers is when there’s nobody attacking, the contract period ended, and they reportIt’s OK now
Minaho-neesan said.
The hidden unit is invisible to the customer. What the customer only see is the person guarding themselves.therefore, director Yamaoka’s integrated security department all look good, and are easy to understand Margo-san said.
The minimum requirement is to have a good physique and a rank in martial arts. Thus it’s better if you won some tournament
So the guard sticking to the subject is only for appearance’s sake?
I asked.
I won’t go that far. They are training very strictly.if you’re not competent, you won’t be hired in the first place. But, the contents of your job is different
Director Yamaoka and the people in his integrated security department.aren’t told about the activities done by Kudou-san and others from thebackground
Minaho-neesan?
If they knew that the person from behind the scenesalready crushed the possibility of attack in advance.the tension of the guards protecting their subject would be gone. Therefore, they’re not told about it .I see
Then.the team lead by chief Tanizawa is an exception. They’re the elite counter-terrorist group guarding the highest level of VIPs
True.Fujimiya-san has a different atmosphere.
Tanizawa-san and others have the first class fighting power.and yet they have the grace and education to cope with the elite people
Fujimiya-san is definitely one but, Tanizawa-san
He’s quite a man with a broken attitude.
He has that kind of attitude because I’m a member ofKuromori Chief Tanizawa is a person who can cope with the elite people and the peoplebehind the scenes He’s like that in front of Kudou-san and me but.that’s because he judged that it’s better to talk to us casually I see.Fujimiya-san knew that I’m fromKuromoriand tried to ignore me.
That’s a natural response from the elite people. However, chief Tanizawa is an officer in Kouzuki security servcice. He also gives Kudou-san and others frombehindinstructions. He has to negotiate with people from organizations like us. Therefore.he was talking casually.
KouzukKakkahas his own team able to talk with the people of the elite world. That’s chief Tanizawa
I see.that’s hard work.
1. Oh, am I mistaken? I thought I heard something about delicious pancakes.
Chapter 229
Yoshida-kun.what do you think it means to bedignified?
Minaho-neesan asks me.
.Dignified?
What isElegantwhat isVulgar? What is the difference between first class and second class? I never thought of that
I lived in a world where that doesn’t matter.
Even in the upper class, there are some vulgar people, and vice versa.then what decides a person’sdignity
Minaho-neesan’s question is hard.
Yoshida-kun.have you seen a genuine art of either Picasso or Van Gogh?
.Genuine? Not a printed or seen on TV.have you seen a genuine thing with your own eyes Never Then, let’s go see next time.
Go see?
Once you see the work of a top-class artist exceeding the first class with your naked eye, even amateurs can tell it’s amazingness
.Un
Therefore, you should feel the amazingness of the top-class work.then compare it to the first class, second class works
Shouldn’t we avoid showing Yoshida-kun the later works of Picasso? That’s a different fight after all
Margo-san intervenes from the side.
Different fight?
Picasso has lived long and has always been a master.even his graffiti scribbles, art dealers collect all of it at high price. That said, it’s not bad work but.I think it’s not good for the aesthetic eyes I’ll let him see from his initial worksBlue PeriodRose periodtoCubism
Minaho-neesan tells Margo-san
That’s a lot. Won’t it be a month trip to Europe?
But still, it’s important to experience the genuine article.
.Err
Is it that important to see the genuine articles?
Margo-san.
If you didn’t see the genuine thing, you can’t clearly know how the author actually made the work
.Un
Talking about my experience.there’s an art textbook that listed a painting of the horse of the King of Europe.1 That horse’s picture is somewhat strange. The horse’s neck is thick and the head is too big .Then?
Then.looking at the textbook, it says The dynamism is being expressed by drawing the thick horse neck. When I read that, I thought ‘Is that how it is?’ but.
Margo-san smiled.
Minaho brought me to the national gallery in London, the real thing was there.then
This person.even though she’s strong.
She’s having fun when talking about arts and music.
The horse picture is very huge.it’s an image you look up from below
A big image.you look up from below
That’s right.looking from below, the neck of the horse that was too fat for the small textbook photo is actually fitting. It’s a perspective trick. The author has that picture from the beginning.he has calculated the angle and distance from where the viewer would see. It’s big after all. Those kind of things won’t be discovered unless you saw the real thing, I’m really moved.
I see.
The photo’s size is reduced so you can’t understand it.
Geez, Maru-chan. In the first place, the color of the real thing and the photo is different don’t you think?
Nei-san comes in too.
Yo-chan.the real oil painting is really sparkly and beautiful!
Right.no matter how much printing technology develops, the real colors can’t be reproduced
Minaho-neesan said.
Besides.the real thing still has the painter’s brush mark still remaining. You can really tell that it’s made by human hands. It’ll make you think humans are amazing. They can express a lot of things with just the point and lines made by the brush sweep Nei-san’s eyes are sparkling too.
I’d like to bring Yoshida-kun to a photography exhibit instead of paintings
Margo-san said.
When a real top-class photographer takes it, the photos developed have a completely different depth. That’s why printing is only half the charm. I think you won’t know the real value unless you see the original print!
Is that so
Anyway.first we’ll let him touch something top-class. Experience the genuine greatness.then understanding the first and second class will be later
Minaho-neesan said.
Right. If you see something half-hearted, your eyes would be clouded
Margo-san said.
Uhm.why is Margo-san and Nei-san so familiar with art?
Margo-san laughs.
Isn’t that obvious?Nei and I received Minaho’s education
Minaho-neesan.
Kyouko-san’s hobby is included too. That person is really fussy to see the first class and hone her aesthetic eyes
I never met her yet but.it seems that Kyouko-san has a variety of hobbies.
If you obtain the power to see through the value of things.then you can also understand the value of others
Minaho-neesan said.
For example.the suit you’re wearing right now. Why do you think it’s a luxury item?
Well.Margo-san said that the cloth of the fabric is vintage
If I recall.that’s what she told me.
Then, why do you think that fabric is vintage?
Well.that is.
Today.there’s no machine remaining that weave that fabic
Margo-san told me.
There’s a much more rational loom now. That cloth takes time and effort to weave.
is that so?
When you think you want to know the value of things.you first need to imagine how much work it would take. Top-class craftsmen’s creation with time and effort are absolutely expensive.
i see.
Next.feel whether the work contains ideas that only geniuses and skilled craftsmen can come up with. It’s calledflash
.Un
In the end, you have to put emphasis on the time and effort taken. Pay flash to the inspiration afterwards.
Minaho-neesan said.
.Why?
The flash and novel ideas stand out but.it doesn’t match the time and effort taken. Trying different ideas after a hundred of times.it removes failures and accumulate experience That’s what’s boring with the modern art you see. They just come up with a new idea, then splash their paint then announce their work.the weight of it being developed over time can’t be felt!
I don’t get the meaning of Nei-san’s opinion.
For example.this ball-pen here
Minaho-neesan took out a pen.
This thing.it took dozens of blueprints to make it
.blueprint
How many mm should be the length.what kind of mixture of king should be put in. A lot of blueprints are drawn, a lot of prototypes have been made to just put ball-pen into the world
i see.
Making things isn’t that easy.
Then they make it into a product and sell it.the buyers will see the beauty as the ease of use and select it again. The unaccepted ones will be weeded out. Then they’ll take the data of the remaining designs and use it for the next product .Un
That takes time and a lot of people refine it. Don’t you think it’s wonderful that things are made like that?
Minaho-neesan smiles.
Imagine every time you see things. How much time and effort taken to create a single thing
I look around.
The theater building.the sofa in the lobby. The lighting in the ceiling. Carpet. The reception desk. Chair. It’s things everyone spent time thinking. Thinking about it.human world is amazing.
All of the things in this world are created by everyone that way. First, the accumulation of man’s effort and time should be felt. Even artists.they take many years to acquire basic skills, then they take over their master and seniors’ guide with trial and error Well, in the era where everyone you can easily debut without being someone’s disciple.even if you don’t take time to train, the environment lets you create work-like things
Minaho-neesan and Margo-san look at each other.
True.the young ones only have theflash Without the backing of skills and experience, theflashalone won’t become a work.
Doing only that and in the end, unable to earn experience, there are artists who became old-men
Nei-san speaks as if venting out.
There’s no need to be that angry. Those kind of artists disappear
They don’t! Aren’t they being arrogant? Well.the art industry is a small world. Especially in Japan. Well, there are people who have reason in irregularity and boast around That’s what grinds my gears! But.I think that artists who doesn’t have that kind of content will keep their status until they die. They’ll disappear in art’s history without leaving any traces. During 19th century, the academy painters who were just stupid impressionists are completely forgotten now Well.you’re right but!
Minaho-neesan breaks the conversation of the two.
Nei.keep the criticisms on the modern art at that level. Yoshida-kun would be troubled
Ah, sorry, it’s an uninteresting story for Yo-chan right?
Un.I don’t get Art that much
Or rather, why is everyone so knowledgeable?
Let’s go back to our topic. Yoshida-kun, it’s about time for the opening. Then, there will be a lot of people with a family standing offirst class noblecoming
.Yes It’s a good opportunity so observe it. Then, compare theirdignity
Earlier, Minaho-neesan said that there areelegantandvulgarpeople even among the top-class families.
What’s the difference?I have to think on practice.
It’s not just Yoshida-kun, you too
Minaho-neesan is talking not only to me.but also to theyounger generationwho’s been staring until now.
Got it
.Un, I’ll try Certainly
Megu, Mana, Michi answers.
Hmm, you really like teaching people something. Is this why you became a teacher?
Yukino criticizes Minaho-neesan.
Minaho-neesan’s face turned dark. She glares at Yukino.
It’s not. Minaho’s personality isn’t suited to become a school teacher
Margo-san laughs.
Right.Sensei doesn’t teach children she doesn’t like
Nei-san looks at Minaho-neesan meanly.
She likes to educate the children she likes very much though!
True.Minaho-neesan’s not the type that teaches everyone in the class equally.
She’s not a school teacher but a tutor. She’s much more suited to be a governess
Margo-san said.
What’s governess?
It’s a private tutor live in teaching elementary education to the noble children in old Britain
Oh, Minaho-neesan fits that one more
You two, remember this!
Minaho-neesan seems to be a bit angry.
.What’s wrong?
Katsuko-nee comes back with a cup of coffee
Here, your share
I receive the cup.
Minaho-neesan said that it’s going to open soon, so she told us to observe the visitors and discover the difference indignity
I explained.
Right.It’ll be the time of hardship for Ojou-sama and me
.Right
Today’s audience.there will be former customers ofKuromorias well. The famous people who look forward to watching their daughters and granddaughters dancing.they don’t think that they would be meeting women from brothel here. Will they be ignored.they might even go to the security to report.
Should I go to the third floor seats?
Katsuko-nee speaks timidly.
Today’sSymposiumis a all free seat.since no guests would come on full house, I don’t think anyone would come to the third floor
It’s the dancepresentationof the children from the Konpeki school.
Only relatives and friends would be coming to see. Today’s performers also has daughters of celebrities like Kanako-san.Kouzuki security service guards would check and chase away the media at the gate
Katsuko.be dignified
Minaho-neesan said.
You have retired from being a prostitute haven’t you?
.Yes Do you intend to be dragged down by your past and live looking down? I don’t feel that way Then, be calm. If you’re not a prostitute then you’re just an ordinary woman, aren’t you?
Hearing that.Katsuko-nee.
I’m very sorry Ojou-sama. Katsuko has been mistaken
She bows to Minaho-neesan.
As long as you understand!
Minaho-neesan intends to close theKuromoribrothel.
Therefore.she’s trying to stand in public calmly. This theater lobby is a battlefield for the two.
Mana-chan, stay with Megu-chan and Me!
Nei-san told the uneasy Mana.
It’s fine.Mana-chan and Megu-chan looks fashionable. When you two line up, you look like sisters
Un.with me asguardNei asretainer, Michi looks like your friend
Margo-san said.
True, Margo-san and Nei-san.they both look like servants, wearing black suits. Michi’s wearing the same super-ojou-sama school uniform, her identity is guaranteed.
Now then, should we attach one more item to Kuroko-chan!
Saying that.Nei-san took out a black thing from the bag.
It’s an Alice band. It’s a headband with two round black discs tied to it. Is this the one the sell on the amusement park in the mouse country.
Here you go, Kuroko-chan, wear this!
.Err
With her hair braided in the middle, ugly makeup and dark glasses. Black and yellow stripe dress. And when you add a mouse ear headband. Yup.it’s perfect. Yukino’s completely anout of placegirl It’sout of placeor rathermistaken. From which world are you from?
What do you think? My identity won’t be found out right?
Yukino asks me.
Yukino’s not good with anyone fromKuromoriso she can only talk to me. Even if she talks with her sister, she knows that she’ll only respond harshly.
Un.Well, nobody would think you’re Yukino
I answered honestly.
Then fine.who cares about my outfit
Yukino said with a negligent feeling.
You see, I also have glasses with mustache growing on it
Nei-san took out theNose mustache glasses
I don’t want that.I’m not from a variety show!
Yukino got angry.
No.you already are. If you’re not, then what are you? Hmm.
We will be opening soon! Performers, return to the dressing room!
Whe woman at konpeki style reception shouts.
Okay, return immediately! The guests are waiting outside!
There are guests already in front of the theater.
The children doing their last practice in the lobby returned to the dressing room in a hurry. Theretainersandescortof those too. Those holding the children’s clothes or have tools used in practice, have left the lobby. Man in black suit appears from the stage.
The theater is clear. The curtain’s dropping down
A woman runs from the dressing room.
The performers have all entered backstage!
The chief receptionist declares.
Then.let’s open!
The theater’s front door opens!
Soon, about thirty people enters.
Welcome!
The people at the reception must be apprentices of Konpeki school too.
They greeted the guests with a loud voice in unisopn.
Welcome! Please show your tickets!
A spectator who’s holding a boquet.
A lady in gorgeous Kimono coming to visit the dance. There are girls with the same uniform as Misuzu and Michi too. The lobby turned colorful in a dash. .then.
.Dear!
.Yoshida-kuun!
At the reception.there’s two people waving their hands at us!
A beauty with a soft and gentle smile. And an angel-like cute girl. This two. Are Nagisa-san and Mao-chan!
.Just wait for a moment!
.A moment!
When the two were done at the reception.
They ran towards me with light footsteps. Nagisa hugs me. Mao-chan clings to my feet!
Ehehe.I came!
Mao also came!
The mother and daughter smiled at me.
.Err
.Were you okay?
I wasn’t able to make contact with them since yesterday
Yeah.for now
Nagisa said.
For today, the shop is closed. The children were sent home as well
Un! then, Mao and Mama came to Yoshida-kun!
Does that mean?
When it comes to this.it’s safer if we’re all together, don’t you think?
It’s safe!
Nagisa and Mao-chan smiled.
If they’re not with me.the bad people won’t be dragging the girls in the shop.
True.Cesario Viola’s power is limited.
They can take Nagisa and Mao-chan as hostage to control our movement but. We’re all now gathered here. Furthermore, they don’t have the room to target Nagisa’s children at shop. Instead of distributing their strength, they’d rather go attack us all at once.
You see, Minaho-san has been sensing footage all this time
Nagisa said.
Therefore.I know everything. Even the sex at school
No way.Yukino’s school broadcast rape?
.Ufufu! I know !
Mao-chan laughs.
.eeh?
Rape me later too!
Nagisa speaks cutely to me.
Let’s take video too! Un, that’s great!
That’s great!
Err.
This high-tension mother-daughter. But, I’m relieved that Nagisa and Mao joined us. I feel relieved.
By the way.who’s this female entertainer?
Nagisa looks at Yukino.
Kyahahaha, so funny!
Mao-chan laughs.
I’m not an entertainer! I’m Kishima Kuroko!
Yukino shouts angrily!
Kuroko-chan! Kuroko-chan! Kuroko-chan! So funny!
She completely became Mao-chan’s toy.
1. Equestrian Portrait of Charles I
Chapter 230
Megumi-chan, Mana-chan.it’s been a while.Mao-chan, gree them
Hearing her mother, the three year old Mao-chan bows her head.
Hello.I’m Mao!
what a cute creature
Hello, Mao-chan
Megu greets her.
Then, Mana.
We’ve met each other before but it’s first time for Mana, right?
Megu smiles at Mana-chan.
Un.Hello, Mao-chan. I’m Mana!
Mana bends her waist and greets Mao-chan with a matching line of sight.
Onee-san is Mana-san? I’m Mao!
Right.we only have a slight difference!
She smiled at Nagisa’s daughter.
Mao and Mana.Manamao?
Mao laughs.
.Also, it’s also your first time
Nagisa looks at MIchi.
I’m aware of your face and name
Kudou papa never neglects thorough investigation.
Nagisa’s file must be in there too.
I’m Kudou Michi. In this occasion.I’m in the lowest seat as Master’s servant
Michi bows her head.
My, is that so?
Nagisa looks at me.
Un. Michi’s Misuzu’s guard but.she decided to turn Misuzu and me her master
Somehow.this is hard to explain for some reason.
Well fine. It’s more fun to have morelittle sisters.there’s no problem as long as you accept them. Welcome toSister’s association!
Right.Nagisa’s also a member ofSister’s association
Hello, I’m Mao!
Mao-chan greets Michi with a smiling face.
I’m Michi.my best regards
This warrior lady lowers her head politely to the little girl.
Master.this child too will be master’s?
Hey.Michi
Mao-chan’s still three years old.
That’s the intention. I intend to have him give his love when she’s around 10 years old!
Wait.Nagisa?
Therefore.Michi-chan.help out with Mao’s education too!
.Certainly
No no.if you let Michi give her education.
Mao-chan would join the combat faction.
By the way, Minaho-san
Nagisa speaks.
You can’t stay in the corner!
Nagisa smiles calmly.
.What do you mean?
There are a lot of old guests in this venue right now. We have to greet everyone.
Uhm.Nagisa.
True, we know thatKuromoriguests are coming but. Everyone’s going to a place with their wife and family.they would hate to see someone from a brothel. Therefore, we’re stuck in the corner of the lobby.
At such times.I think that we must treasure the relationship with people
NAgisa said in a warm tone.
Mao and I will be greeting them first.Minaho-san and Katsuko, come when I call you okay!
.Nagisa?
Leaving behind the surprised Minaho-neesan, Nagisa and Mao-chan.
Let’s go! Mao!
Okaay, Mama! The old men in the suit coming from the entrance.let’s start with that one! .Un! Lock On!
Then.the beautiful Mama and the Angelic daughter attacks!
.My, Yamashiro-san, it’s been a while!
Nagisa speaks gently, softly.
.you?
The old woman looking like the wife and the secretary shows up a surprised expression.
It’s Katagai, excuse my long silence.this girl is my daughter.Mao, greet them!
Hello! I’m Katagai Mao! Three years old! Nihihihi!
Mao-chan smiles.
.Who are you?
The wife looks at Nagisa with a suspicious face.
Nagisa-san smiles nonchalantly.
I was a a secretary of Kuromori enterprise before.when I was a company employee, I’ve been indebt with president Yamashiro. I’ve retired after this child was born so I’ve been completely busy being a parent.it’s been what, 3? Four years since we’ve last seen each other! So Nostalgic!
Nagisa’s pushes her high-tension!
un.well, that’s how it is
The old man agrees with her story for the time being.
You seem to be healthy. You’re going to watch your grandchild, Yasue-san today?
It’s been years since her prostitute age.
Nagisa seems to have memorized her customer’s information.
That’s right.but why are you here?
The old man is still puzzled.
It feels strange when a retired prostitute appears at today’s celebrity children dance presentation.
I’ve been invited by Kouzuki Misuzu-san!
Nagisa shows her card.
.Kouzuki-san?
Yes. I am Misuzu-san’s flower arrangement teacher
Nagisa purposely speaks on loud voice.
Nagisa and Mao-chan are already attracting attention of the people around them. Especially.some restless men who have visitedKuromoribefore.
I’ve become independent after my retirement so I’m now running a flower shop. Kouzuki-san has been really helpful establishing the company
She appeals strongly with her relationship with KouzukiKakka
Then.the suspicion of the wife on her husband disappears. Perhaps, she has recognized that Nagisa is one of KouzukiKakka’smistress. Under that impression.she believes that she’s not related to her husband. She won’t imagine that Nagisa was a prostitute.
My.you are acquainted with Kouzuki-san?
The wife’s attitude changed immediately.
You.I’ll just have a talk with this person about Kouzuki-san
The old man tells his wife
Understood.I’ll head to my seat first. Excuse me
The old woman heads to the theater along with the secretary.
Really.what a courageous girl
Katsuko-nee mutters as she look at Nagisa.
You do know that Nagisa and I were abducted by Shirasaka Sousuke during our first year in high school, don’t you?
.Un
That is Nagisa and Katsuko-nee’s dark past.
I’m a weak human so.if I wasn’t with Nagisa who’s mentally strong, I think I might’ve gotten mad. That girl’s brightness and courage always saves me
.Katsuko-nee.
I’m no match against Nagisa. I’ve always thought of it.I want to be someone like Nagisa
Katsuko-nee smiles sadly.
That girl.her calmness and kindness, she quickly became the breadwinner among thewomenof the mansion. That girl is a woman truly loved by everyone
Nagisa put the old man aside and called the surrounding men.
It’s been a while, Umemiya-sama!
Hello, I’m Mao! My, Yasuoka-sensei! It’s me, Nagisa! Nice to meet you! I’m Mao!
The beautiful Mama and toddler.
The elderly men gather together even more. Nagisa’s graceful smile without any evil. Mao-chan’s innocent smile. The old guests were drawn by them.
Even though her work period is only a year
Katsuko-nee said.
And yet.those famous people come to her side
.Un
To be honest, I think it’s amazing. When I noticed, Nagisa’s being surrounded by more than 15 elderly gentlemen. Gathering this many.nobody would think that Nagisa’s a former prostitute. In such a place, a pair of mother and daughter are surrounded by celebrities. It feels like she’s a powerful woman coming from a famous family somewhere.
After that girl was banished by Shirasaka Sousuke.I did all my best to be a substitute for Nagisa.But it was no good. She’s the top earner of the mansion but she wasn’t able to become a woman loved by everyone like Nagisa .Katsuko-nee.
You no longer need to, Katsuko-nee!
I said.
Katsuko-nee and Nagisa already have me. You don’t need other men anymore!
.Right
Katsuko-nee smiles at me.
.Just you staying with me will be enough. You do love us from the bottom of your heart!
I also love Katsuko-nee and Nagisa. I love you both the same! Thank you.dear
At that time.Nagisa turned this way.
Minaho-san, Katsuko! Come here! Hurry up and greet everyone!
At this stage.Nagisa calls Minaho-neesan.
.Nagisa’s got us
Minaho-neesan mutters.
Ojou-sama.let’s go
Right.we can’t just turn Nagisa’s goodwill to waste
Minaho-neesan and Katsuko-nee heads to the group surrounding Nagisa.
As guard, Margo-san follows behind.
Yo-chan.come here
Nei-san calls me
Here you go
She gives me an earphone.
Maru-chan’s hiding a microphone in her!
Nei-san puts earphones on herself too .
I also put in the earphones in a hurry. We eavesdrop the conversation of the group surrounding Nagisa.
.It’s been a while. Everyone
This is Minaho-neesan’s voice.
.Is it okay for you to be here?
A man’s voice.
Your organization is in a lot of trouble right now I think.
Last night.the scandal of Shirasaka Sousuke is being heavily reported.
Shirasaka Sousuke, was once a member of our organization but it’s different now. We have banished Shirasaka Sousuke
.Unbeleivable Umu. Wasn’t he the representative of your organization? No, Shirasaka Sousuke was only one of the co-operators.he’s not the representative But.for us, you and Mr. Shirasaka Sousuke are people of the same organization.
The guests knows the relationship of Shirasaka Sousuke andKuromori
They can’t be deceived easily.
Then.why do you think our existence hasn’t been revealed yet among the scandals of Shirasaka Sousuke reported?
Minaho-neesan asks.
.That’s right. The crime Shirasaka Sousuke has committed have flowed to the internet and press one after another. But.The organizationKuromoriisn’t exposed.
Could this be Mr. Kouzuki’s will?
One of the gentlemen asks.
Yes.as you know, our organization has stopped operating since last autumn. After that, we have entrusted the whole organization to Mr. Kouzuki
With that said.Mr. Shirasaka Sousuke’s scandal now? Kouzuki-sama’s aim is not Shirasaka Sousuke himself, but the parent house?
Minaho-neesan bluffs.
.Shirasaka house?
It means he’s aiming at Shirasaka newspaper and TV station?
The men’s surprised.
Even if the head of Shirasaka house.Shirasaka Moritsugu loses his influence in the world, I think it’ll be convenient for Kouzuki-sama
Minaho-neesan speaks to the gentlemen in one breath.
He intends to crush Shirasaka Moritsugu?
True, Mr. Moritsugu isn’t on a friendly relationship with Kouzuki-san. No, isn’t he trying to get the newspaper and TV companies again? Actually, with the blunder at yesterday’s press conference.I heard that unifying power of Mr. Shirasaka Moritsugu is decreasing The Anti-Mr. Moritsugu group is planning a coup d’etat Either way, the newspaper company would be in bad condition
The gentlemen speaks to each other.
As expected, most of them are business owners.
Anyway.this is all related to Kouzuki-san?
One of the men strongly asks Minaho-neesan
Of course. Young women like Katsuko and myself can’t think of such outrageous things, we don’t have the power to carry it out either
Minaho-neesan calmly spouts a big lie.
Uhm.this is what I’ve heard
One man speaks up.
Shirasaka Sousuke.is trying to sell the customer list of your organization to a crime syndicate.thus, he was punished by Kouzuki-sama
.That is the truth
Minaho-neesan speaks clearly.
Shirasaka Sousuke, tried to sell everyone’s name and other materials to the people on the underground society. Therefore.the organization sought Kouzuki-san’s power and disposed of it. Kouzuki-sama’s instructions is to thoroughly erase him from the society Minaho-neesan seems to be creating an image thatKuromoriis a group of weak girls.
All of it were done with KouzukiKakka’spower.she’s thinking of hiding the power under the shadow of Kouzuki house.
Wait.so where’s the list of names and data
In the end, it hasn’t fallen to Shirasaka Sousuke’s hands, so please be relieved. We do keep the documents in the organization. All related materials that have been hidden by Shirasaka Sousuke has been burned together with the house yesterday Then.last night’s news, Shirasaka Sousuke’s retreat burned down last night? Yes.Kouzuki-sama’s force are behind it
.Well said.
Minaho-neesan, weren’t you in the site and put fire on the documents?
Then.we do not need to worry, do we?
Yes, there are currently no problems. Among the leaked information in the media, there won’t be anything related to us nor the gusts, it’s Kouzuki-sama’s power
Minaho-neesan’s voice makes the men feel relieved.
It’s really okay, isn’t it?
In that regard.Shirasaka house, especially Mr. Shirasaka Moritsugu can’t be said to be in good health. There’s an analogy of the cornered mouse bites.we don’t know what kind of thing a cornered person would do Minaho-neesan purposely fuels them.
Understood.Though I was in the neutral faction, I’ll stick with Kouzuki-san
Umu. we can’t be at ease as long as we haven’t taken the newspapers and television from Mr. Shirasaka Moritsugu I will move as well. I have a decent stock on that newspaper company If you have stocks with them, please dispose of them immediately.their prices would be falling down from now on When the price falls.Kouzuki-san will be buying it I see, then it’s better to keep it for now Pinching salt would cause your fall Umu, it’s Kouzuki-san so apart from television, he might intend to crush the newspaper company Yes, his opinion is to reduce the number of Japanese newspaper companies
The gentlemen’s conversation turned lively.
For the time being.the doubts onKuromorihas disappeared.
By the way.Kuromori-kun
One of the gentlemen changes his tone and speaks.
When will you resume your place?
.Eh?
People with social status like us.needs a place to keep secrets and play like yours. From what you talked about, you have used Kouzuki-san’s power to protect our personal information from Shirasaka Sousuke’s recklessness. We appreciate it Yes.Shirasaka has always been a man you can’t trust since before but.I do trust Kuromori-kun
You’re just like your grandfather.that old man doesn’t spare any sacrifice just for the trust
Minaho-neesan’s grandfather.Kuromori Kounosuke.
The owner of the suit I’m borrowing now. I’m also borrowing his name too.
I’m very sorry but.for now, it’s unknown.
Minaho-neesan speaks.
I see, then it’s up for Kouzuki-san to think too
Then, let’s talk to Kouzuki-san I will talk too Then, should we sign a plea to everyone? Sure. Kouzuki-san likes that Either way, the rude man named Shirasaka Sousuke is now gone. With this, we can regain the place to relax like old days confidently
.I see.
The elder gentlemen who have called out Nagisa. These people are the guests of the oldKuromori towerera And perhaps.they’re the most important guests ofKuromori.
In that case.I’d like to have Katsuko-kun accompany me again
One of the old men said with a smile.
Un.I’d would like to ask of it too
Me too
Then.Katsuko-nee.
I’m very sorry. Katsuko has already retired
.Why?
Katsuko-nee looked at everyone.
I would like to say that everyone in here is a really great guest but.Nagisa and I were kidnapped by Shirasaka Sousuke.turned to prostitutes
The gentlemen fell silent.
We were forcibly separated from our family.unable to go to school, subjected to violence and intimidation, raped multiple times.turned to prostitute.
.I never knew Oh, we surely thought that you were prostitutes by will.
Minaho-neesan speaks.
That was the the operation when grandfather managed. Bringing beautiful ladies from parents with debt from the rural areas.after confirming that they’re willing, they come out of the mansion. However.when Shirasaka Sousuke was involved in the management.everything turned to a mess.and the prostitutes weren’t even paid properly Then that makes them slaves!
Yes.you do know that I was a prostitutes before, don’t you?
Minaho-neesan asks, several of the gentlement.
I do know
Un, me too I, in those days.your organization was in silence
That’s right.
There are a lot of people who hated the brothel turned to a mess when Shirasaka entered management. After Minaho-neesan turned to an operator, they tried to call back the former guests but they never came back again.
I’m also one of those kidnapped people. Yuuka-neesan protested to Kouzuki-sama about Shirasaka’s villainy.I joined as an operator and Kouzuki-sama’s auditor also came. Then, it has improved a lot.
KouzukiKakka’sauditor.Kyouko Dothnomechey-san.
I.if it wasn’t for Ojou-sama and Nagisa, I would’ve gotten crazy I think!
Katsuko-nee mutters.
I’m the one who should say that.If Katsuko wasn’t with me, I would’ve committed suicide!
Nagisa shouts.
I’m very timid.so I always go frivolous and smile forcibly right? But, Katsuko’s strong.Katsuko is substantially stiff, I was able to endure it without despairing!
What are you saying! Nagisa’s way stronger! I was just getting cold feet.tremble in fear. Nagisa’s always been smiling no matter how cruel they were with you.you took initiative protecting me.therefore.I! I’m not that strong! It’s all thanks to Katsuko! It’s not! If it wasn’t for Nagisa, I would’ve been dead!
That’s when Mao-chan cuts in.
Don’t fight! uu!
Mao-chan scholded the two.
.Mao
Mao-chan .Mama and Katsuko-chan, get along! Embrace! You two!
Nagisa and Katsuko looked at each other.
.Un, Katsuko.
.Yes, Nagisa
The two embraced each other.
.We hugged like this back then, didn’t we?
Yes.we endured the frightening nights like this
Mao-chan smiles.
.With this, it’s case closed! Nihihihi!
One gentleman looks at Mao-chan.
Nagisa-kun.this girl’s father
Yes. it’s unknown You don’t intend to investigate? Yes.I didn’t do
DNA
tests or any other methods Why? I think that the man who thinks that he wants to be this girl’s father from the bottom of his heart then he’ll be thefather The biological father is insignificant.
Shirasaka Sousuke let Nagisa give birth to a child whose father is unknown.
Even if the men who raped Nagisa were checked.there’s no meaning. The man who took part in Shirasaka’s bizarre plan raping Nagisa can’t be a decent man.
Understood.if anything happens to Nagisa-kun and Katsuko-kun.you can consult me. I won’t do anything ill
No, I won’t let only Tatsunami-san show a good face. I will help as much as possible too I will cooperate too. If it’s something I can do, you can ask me anything Me too.as long as my wife doesn’t find out.
The gentlemen laughed.
True.it’s bad if your family discovers
But, we won’t hold back helping out if it’s something honest Kuromori-san, the same is for you too Yes.we are quite indebt with that mansion!
I discover Nagisa’s amazingness again.
Nagisa chose the people with decent sense from among her guests. The people who will help her andKuromoriin the future!
We’ve gained strongalliesagain.
Chapter 231
.Onii-chan, do you have a moment?
Mana taps my shoulders as I listen along with Nei-san on the tapped microphone.
Hm.what’s wrong?
When I turned to her.
Megu-oneechan looks strange.
.Whut?
Looking at Megu in panic, she looks like she’s depressed. Sitting on the sofa, she curls her head.
Nei-san.excuse me
I returned the earphone to Nei-san and go to Megu.
What’s wrong, Megu?
I squat down and match our eyes.
Holding her head.it’s horribly cold. .Megu’s nervous?
Sorry.I’ve gotten scared
Megu forces herself to smile with her gloomy face.
.Is it Cesario Viola?
Is she afraid that white Viola has sneaked into the theater?
That’s not it.it’s the current situation
Megu looked around the lobby
The spectators for tonight comes from the entrance. It’s not all old men like the ones Minaho-neesan and others are talking to right now. Of course.there are a lot of young girls who are friends with the performers. Their mothers, and grandmothers too.
Is it okay for me to be here?
.Megu
The majority of the people in the lobby are families of rich celebrities. The rest areguardsorattendants Konpeki school secretariat and security guards of Kouzuki security service. Then.there’s us. Thinking about it.Megu and I are the only ones who have lived a poor life. Yukino and Mana were from Shirasaa family.
Somehow.I suddenly got scared
Hearing Megu.I once again looked at the hall.
Un.I’m also messed up, someone out of place. It’s strange for me to be in a world of rich. This is a world unrelated to me. Noticing that.I suddenly feel shivery.
.Even though I had Yoshi-kun buy a cute dress for me.but I can’t wear it beautifully like other girls, right?
Megu looks at me with teary eyes.
.Right. Megu’s been unable to get dressed even at the Shirasaka family gatherings. She’s always been on her school uniform.driven at the corner of the room. She’s discriminated as the daughter of Yamamine house. Megu has a deep-rooted inferiority complex in respect tofine clothes
I’m not that cute. Wearing a dress doesn’t suit me either!
.Seriously.
.You really are.
Stop that, Megu. It’s the dress we picked!
I tell Megu with a strong tone.
I’m also a bit nervous.
It suits you. Isn’t that obvious that it suits you!
I embrace Megu tightly!
Yoshi-kun.this is embarrassing
Don’t be.we love each other
Megu’s stiffness is being softened in my arms.
The girl’s body softens, loosens. As if she’s melting from my body temperature.
.Yoshi-kun
Megu embraces me too.
.Did you calm down?
.Un
I let go of her.
I look straight at Megu.
I think that Megu’s cute. I think you’re beautiful. That’s why, it’s fine. It’s okay for Megu to be here
.But
It’ll be fine. If someone complains to Megu, I’ll beat them up. If you want, I’ll shout at everyone coming from the door. I’ll shoutMy Megu is cute!
Megu’s eyes turned moist.
.That dress. I can tell the reason why Minaho-nesan asks us to buy it. That’s a reward given by Minaho-neesan to me who worked with my body. It’s a dress I bought from my pay
.Un The girls here right now might be wearing a much more expensive dress but that doesn’t matter
.I
if Megu wears a luxurious dress now.I think perhaps, Minaho-neesan can easily prepare such a high-class dress for Megu
And yet.She purposely made Megu and I buy a dress.
With the set amount of money provided.
But.what would Megu think if she wears a high-class dressed that’s just borrowed?
.Perhaps, I would be more embarrassed. I don’t think I’m suited to wear a dress having a price I can’t reach
Megu answers.
What do you think about the dress you’re wearing now?
When I asked her.Megu touches her own dress.
I think that even this is too expensive for a girl like me. Really. But, this is the dress Yoshi-kun bought for me
That’s right.it’s the dress we both picked. You know the price don’t you? Un.I do. This dress is the most suitableclothingfor me now .That’s right. That’s why, puff out with pride and be dignified.Megu
I hold Megu’s hand.
For me.for Megu herself. Minaho-neesan has thought a lot for Megu!
I kiss the back of Megu’s hand.
Thank you.Yoshi-kun
I look at my suit.
Even I just borrowed this clothes. I’m glad that it’s borrowed. It’s not mine. This is Minaho-neesan’s grandfather’s suit.then, Katsuko-nee adjusted the size, filling it with love. I’m really glad wearing such clothes .Yoshi-kun?
I wasn’t given new quality goods.
No, if I’m told to buy a high-class suit.I would perhaps reject it. Therefore. Minaho-neesan and Katsuko-nee.planned to borrow the late Kuromori Kounosuke-san’s clothes. They thought that I would accept it if it’s borrowed from the dead. Furthermore, Katsuko-nee changed the size to fit me in secret. If they didn’t go that far.I might’ve gone to the theater on my usual student clothes.
For now.I can only borrow clothes. That is my reality. Therefore.I accept that reality. Upon acceptance, I live dignified among the upper-class people!
Megu’s wearing cheap dress.
I’m wearing a borrowed suit. That is our reality. Let’s accept that. Then.let’s face up the world of high-class aware of your own unbecoming.
There’s nothing to be afraid of.we’re wearing clothes we deserve right now
Un.you’re right
Megu said.
I grew up from a poor house. This is my first time wearing fine clothing. This is the dress Yoshi-kun bought for me. Right now, this is the only suitable dress
Megu dearly slides her fingers on the fabric of the dress.
I’m here right now.no. No matter how embarrassed I am, I am here, confidently. This is the best suitedfine clothesfor me now
That’s right.Megu
I’m thankful for Minaho-neesan’s deep thought.
I thank Katsuko-nee’s affection. .This is fine. .This should do. Mana shows up smiling.
Megu-oneechan’s the only one Onii-chan bought a dress for.I’m jelly You even have a ring?
Megu’s finger has our engagement ring shining.
I’ll buy Mana some too.
I promise.
Eh.really?
Or rather.I’ve got to work hard to earn money. I’ll be the one to shoulder out living expenses
It’s not on the same level as a dress or a ring.
Even socks and underwear.I have to buy those in the future.
.Onii-chan
Mana seems to have remembered it too.
She can no longer go back to Shirasaka house. She can no longer to go school. Mana has no choice but to live with me. Thatrealityreappears to Mana’s head again.
Yoshi-kun, I’ll also work partime.so you only have to think about Mana
Megu said but.
I’d like Megu to do her best in her club activities.
Mana will also work partime
Mana’s downhearted.
Middle school girls can’t get a job. For the time being, help out Katsuko-nee
.Un
I spread my arms and embrace them.
There’s no need to worry that much. Let’s think about the details once this commotion settles down. We have to consult Minaho-neesan about this too
You’re right.Yoshi-kun Got it.Onii-chan
They replied.
Therefore.forget about everything that makes you anxious and let’s cheer for Misuzu. Misuzu’s an Onee-san amongSister’s associationisn’t she?
Mana.
Un! Mana will cheer hard!
.Then
.My?
A girl’s voice can be heard from my back.
.No way?
What’s wrong, Sugawara-san? No.isn’t that Shirasaka Maika on that sofa over there?
Mana.
.Uu!
Her complexion changed
.Do you know them?
I asked her whisperingly.
They’re Sugawara and Taki-san from the same class
Mana is also a student of an Ojou-sama school.
There’s a high possibility of her coming across with her classmates in this place. We did imagine that situation but. When you’re in there.you don’t know how to respond.
No way.there’s no way Maika-san would come
You’re right.there’s no way she would come to public like that after what happened to her father
That is the perception of the people.
After all, the mass media exposed the scandals of Shirasaka Sousuke last night. A crime of a famous family known as Shirasaka. A sex scandal that involved the show business world. Furthermore, kidnaping, rape, murder. The sensational topic isn’t lacking. Mana is the daughter of the criminal, Shirasaka Sousuke.
The people from Shirasaka house doesn’t seem to be here today
Eh, Takako-san too? Yes.isn’t it embarrassing to be on the same family as Shirasaka? Well, that might be the case If Moritsugu-sama hasn’t spoken in the press conference to protect Shirasaka Sousuke.wait, Takako-san was crying over the phone She was looking forward to the symposium today
Mana.
Takako-san.sorry
.A relative? A younger cousin. She’s also doing Japanese dance. She’s on a different school but.she was looking forward to watch today.
Mana feels depressed.
But still.doesn’t that girl look like Maika-san?
Un, they do look alike but. What? Shirasaka Maika-san won’t be coming in such clothes I think
Mana’s dress today is prepared by Katsuko-nee, it shows a lot of skin.
Her make-up and hair style are both flashy. You won’t think it’s vulgar but. Katsuko-nee likes to go sexy route.
You’re right, after her father causing such a incident.she won’t wear something stupid like that
She’s someone else. The people next to her are wearing cheap dresses too. People from Shirasaka house would wear much more expensive clothes
Hey hey.this time, they begin to criticize Megu’s dress.
But, the two rich ladies are really loud.
From which house are they from?
Somehow.they feel likecommoner who forced themselves to come Aren’t most of the dancers commoners? You’re right. They must be people who came by mistake because they had invitation tickets by chance Today’s symposium isn’t that kind of party isn’t it?
Mana’s classmates escalates further.
Mana’s face is pale, grabbing her knees with great effort .Then
.Mana, get yourself together!
Did she lost her cool from the young girl’s impudent words? Megu speaks out loud.
Even you are a daughter of Kuromori. Now, apoligize to Onii-sama.
I don’t know why Mana has to apologize to me but.
Anyway, Megu asks for such a plan from us.
I’m sorry Onii-chan!Mana’s a bad girl!
Mana apologizes to me in a loud voice.
un.as long as you understand. Apology accepted
I have to say something that matches.
Megu-oneechan too, I’m sorry!
Very well. You’re also a member of the traditional Kuromori family. You should show a dignified attitude as the daughter of the Kuromori house at any time! Do you get it? .Yes!
Seeing our little act.the girls.
.Look, it’s different after all
She’s not Shirasaka Maika-san That’s right, they did say Kuromori. Speaking of which.Maika-san did have an older sister instead of a brother, right? Her sister is different from that one too.I’ve seen her before Eh, when? During some party of some sort. It was on Metro Hotel Then, it’s really not her!
Were they convinced? The girls got away from us.
. Sigh
.Onii-chan, Onee-chan
Mana clings to us
Let’s stay as three together.if we’re together, nobody would find us out
If there’s someone who thinks that it’s strange and approached us, the three of us can just play a skit again.
I was wrong
Megu said.
There’s no time to be depressed. You have to prepare to fight and sharpen your senses, or else you will be beaten down
You’re right, Megu-oneechan.this is our battlefield Therefore.Mana, be confident. Be calm Un.I’ve got to smile. Mana will fight!
When alone.you’ll only be swallowed by the place like Megu earlier.
Therefore, we stick together and fight. Fair and square, so we won’t lose to this celebrity space.
You guys are really serious to the root
Nei-san laughs.
Nei-san.are you okay with this atmosphere?
I ask her.
Un, I’m fine! After all, I’m always out of place! I’m used to it!
Well.
She’s a legendary delinquent girl known in the whole school. She’s not attending classes too.
I’m fine with it too
Michi said.
Kudou Style’sessence is to turn over other’s qi after all.
.No
Michi.you should match with other’s mind sometimes too
I said.
It’s normal to match with the surrounding atmosphere. Purposely removing it makesKudou styleamazing right? But, in your case.aren’t you not matching with them in the first place
Hearing my explanation.Michi shows a blank face.
Is matching the atmosphere that important?
.Err
Before I can explain, Mana speaks up.
Michi-san should try having sex with Onii-chan and you’ll understand
.Mana?
You see.it feels the best when you cum together with Onii-chan.
.Err
.Cum?
Michi-san, you haven’t climaxed yet?
When Mana asks.
.I don’t know!
Michi’s face turned red.
This isn’t because she really came and trying to gloss it over from embarrassment. She doesn’t have a clear experience of reaching true climax so she doesn’t know.
Anyway.I think it’s better to have Onii-chan let you reach it
Mana said.
Right. I think that Michi-san would become stronger if you do have such experience!
Margo-san joins in from the back.
It seems their conversation with the old guests ofKuromorihas ended Minaho-neesan and Katsuko-nee comes back too.
.Sex with Master is training?
Michi asks with a serious face.
Kudou style can easily turn over the qi of the opponent, a technique to remove.it’s better if you can pinpoint the qi that should match. Match.take away. Isn’t it better if you can do it freely?
I see.I think there was such mystery written on the book of secrets father has hidden!
Michi speaks to Margo-san somewhat excited.
Furthermore.if possible, it would be amazing if you can learn the technique to instantly sharpen your qi like how the camera narrows down it’s focus
You can learn that through sex?
Margo-san smiles.
I don’t know. I haven’t done sex for the past seven years after all.
Margo-san was raped in an Indian settlement when she was 12.
Since then.she never had sex.
But.I recall a document Kyouko-san holds. It’s a report about training your mind through sex
.I’d like to see it Un, I’ll look for it
Michi looks at me.
Master.I’m very sorry but, now that it has come to this, please accompany me in my training
.Does that mean?
Sex for Michi’s mind training?
I think that’s good. I think it’ll be good training for Yoshida-kun too!
Margo-san is grinning.
mana will train too!
Yoshi-kun, I’ll be joining in too!
Megu.Mana.
Of course, I will be joining too!
Katsuko-nee too.
Eh, eh, eh? Then me too!
Nei-sama, you’ve got to get yourself together or I’ll get angry!
Katsuko-nee glares at Nei-san.
Geez! Katsun you bully
I’m not a bully! It’s Nei-sama who doesn’t have the courage!
.Err
.What’s this about?
Mana asks me with a curious face.
.Haa When are we going to let her know that Nei-san’s still a virgin? .No .Rather than taht.
.Huh? Speaking of which, where’s Yukino?
Mana’s classmate came this way.
Yukino’s acquaintance might come too.
Kuroko-chan’s there
Katsuko-nee points.
Kyahahahaah.Kuroko-chaan!
Gaoo! I’ll catch you! Mao won’t be caught! Pakupakupaku.I’ll eat you! Kufufu.I won’t lose!
.Yukino.
She’s running around the nearby sofa. .Along with Mao-chan.
Hoora! I caught youu
Kyaan! I got caught.Ehehe
What’s with this heartwarming spectacle?
.Yukino-san’s like that long ago
Mana said.
She’s very kind to the children around. Playing a lot with the small children of relatives coming to visit, she’s always like that
Yukino likes children, I see.
.She doesn’t care about her little sister since long ago however
Mana speaks in dissatisfaction.
It’s only for the surface. Since her sister is a relative, she doesn’t need to take care of her. She’s always being affectionate to other children.
She’s speaking politely.
This isMaika Not Mana.
No.Yukino’s kind
I said.
Yukino’s the first one to talk to me when I was alone during the entrance during high school.
That’s right.Shirasaka Yukino is.
She’s essentially a kind girl!
Chapter 232
Mao, don’t make a fuss!
Nagisa talks to her young daughter.
Okaay, Mama!
Mao-chan runs towards Nagisa.
She clings to Nagisa’s foot.
Kuroko-chan, you’ll bother the people if you make a noise! Nihihi!
Mao-chan speaks to Yukino, pretending to be the elder sister.
I know! Let’s do it later!
Un, let’s play again later! Kuroko-chan!
.What?
That makes it look like Mao-chan’s looking after Yukino. No, that’s true in a sense. Yukino’s life is targeted by Shirasaka head, she has to stay with us. But.the seniors ofKuromoriare basically cold towards Yukino. Yukino herself isn’t good with Minaho-neesan, Katsuko-nee, and Nei-san. On top of that, her real sister, Mana is the most cruel in responding towards Yukino. Megu and Yukino have a complex with each other so they don’t speak to each other. In that case, Yukino doesn’t have anyone to talk with apart from me. Look.she avoided the otherwomenand head straight towards me.
.Do you like kids?
It can’t be helped, I’ll talk to her
I don’t. They’re troublesome.but, I thought I need to get used to them.
.Get used?
Yukino looks at me through the thick black edge glasses.
Look.I’ll give birth to your child, don’t I?
.Yukino?
I already gave up. If I’m abandoned by Shirasaka family, there’s no place for me to return to. I don’t have any other way to live but to stick with you, do I? Then it can’t be helped. I’ll give birth to your baby.
Yukino owns a bottomless positive spirit.
Her resolution is good. Knowing that she can no longer live her peaceful life asShirasaka Yukino.She chose to obey us.
Besides.when Kenji attacked me.
Yukino said.
When Kenji touched me, it didn’t feel good at all.he only does things forcefully, it only hurts.it’s inevitably disgusting
Yukino speaks her discomfort.
Even my first time with you, it was disgusting at first.but I understand it when Kenji attacked me. When it’s you.you’re at least trying to make me feel good in your own way. You’re a rapist who violated me but.you’re not all bad.
.I
I hate a man like you. You don’t look cool.you’re not even intelligent.you’re not from a good family either. There’s no benefit going out with someone like you. I don’t want the class to see me together with you .Right
No matter how many times I’m reborn, I’ll never come to love a man like you. You should understand at least that! .Yeah Great.then, I’ll give birth to your child .Eh? I don’t like you but it can’t be helped. I have no choice but to bear your child so I’ll be sheltered by Yuzuki-sensei from now on un I’m already fine with it. I don’t like you but I think I can love my own child. I’ll raise it with love. When that happens, I would have no other pleasure to live but that!
Yukino.she’s been spoiled and raised, she’s selfish and her pride is so high.
But.she’s not an idiot. She looks at her own situation.she considers her path of living, without despairing. Yukino’s probably going to be satisfied raising my children for the rest of her life. .But.
My, you only need to give birth!
Minanho-neesan speaks to Yukino coldly.
I will be the one to raise the child.Yukino-san will be farewell after giving birth
Yukino glares at Minaho-neesan.
Just leave the baby and you will be leaving. Let’s see.if you’re a good girl until then, I’ll give you a bit of bonus when you leave. But, if you stay as a bad child!
Minaho-neesan’s mouth smiles.
If you stay as a bad childmeans.Minaho-neesan doesn’t acknowledge Yukino at all.
I’ll have you work on the slums on the southeast Asia I guess!
She’ll be sold to the brothels with worst environment.
Such life would be harsher than death.
No.I don’t want that!
Yukino’s eyes are burning in anger.
Think about it.I think that you’re already pregnant but it takes ten months to give birth. You’ve got a negative evaluation since the start. If you don’t make effort to recover, the plan to sell you overseas won’t change.get ready for it .I won’t forgive you. I’ll never forgive you
Yukino said.
My, what a coincidence.I won’t forgive you too as well. You! I love looking at your face crying in frustration.Yukino-san
Saying that, Minaho-neesan parted from Yukino.
Tears accumulate in Yukino’s eyes.
.Yukino
.I
.What?
Yukino changes the subject of anger to me and she glares at me with teary eyes.
I like you.
.Eh?
Yukino’s puzzled from what I say.
