Mana looks at the table.

Speaking of which.that might be true

It seems that there are other people coming to ear here too Other people? Look, those wearing expensive looking suits lined up behind Jii-chan in the theater. Eh, those men well be coming?

Mana’s surprised

Let’s see.It’s about time I call them too

Jii-chan said feigning ignorance.

Eh, No way!

It’s true.so hurry up and get dressed Okay !

Mana rushed to the place where she took off her clothes

Hmm, what an interesting lass

There’s some untact in her so Ruriko, don’t copy her Yes, Onii-sama It’s no good to wander around naked too Yes. Ruriko won’t show it to anyone but Onii-sama!

.Yeah

Ruriko’s elegant so it feels a bit too stiff. Well, that’s very much like her so that’ fine.

Geez! Yoshi-kun no Baka! Baka! Ochinchin!

.Huh?

Megu.what’s wrong? Your face is so red.

You like that girl that much? Sure! Either way, I’m not an Ojou-sama! I’m not as beautiful as the other girls!

Who let Megu drink alcohol!

Ah.Nei-san’s standing with a bottle of wine from behind. She’s bowing her head sayingSorrytowards me. .Nei-san Yeah.she made her drink

.You already hate me don’t you?

Megu shouts half-crying

Chapter 263

Chapter 263 :Familytime 4 (Megumi and Misuzu)

.Megu?

The drunk Megu’s different from usual.

Geez, Yoshi-kun no Baka! Baka, Baka.uwaan!

Megu shouts loudly and burst into tears.

Then she squat down.

Hey.are you okay?

I squat down and peek on the crying Megu.

Don’t get close to me.bakaa!

.Eh?

No, no.Come, come here.embrace me.Yoshi-kun!

This time she’s embracing me.

Let’s kiss, I want a kiss.Kiss mee!

Megu’s blocking my lips with hers.

Megu’s breath smells like wine. The tongue put in my mouth tastes like wine too. .Just how much have you drunk?

I love you.I love you so muuch. Megu loves Yoshi-kun the moost !

She tells me with glazed eyes.

Megu.wants to confine Yoshi-kun. I want to bind you with a rope so you won’t go anywhere. Even the meals or toilet, Megu will take care all of it. Megu will be embracing you at night. Yoshi-kun is Megu’s dakimakura!

Err.

Just how far is this drunk woman going to be reckless?

I won’t let you go! I’ll never give you to anyone. Yoshi-kun is Megu’s. Just look at Megu!

Megu kisses my lips passionately again.

Puha.Megu loves kissing Yoshi-kun! I want to do it foreveer!

.Seriously.

Megu, just how much have you piled up? Her stagnated feelings are being released all at once. Oh.I see. Megu actually hasn’t drank that much. It’s impossible to get dead drunk in such short time. In the first place, Nei-san won’t give her such a huge amount of wine. Actually, it around three to four cups only. But, Megu. She’s demanding under the pretext of being drunk. She’s making an excuse that if she’s drunk then I’ll spoil her. Thus she feels drunk after just a couple of glasses of wine.

.Megu

Whaat?

Megu looks at me.

.You’re cute, Megu

Geez, that’s what you’re telling everyone, don’t you? Megu’s not cute! There are other girls that are much more cuter!

Megu’s inferiority complex is deeply rooted.

It’s not just a simple matter of appearance. Megu grew up as a commoner of Yamamine family. Her house was old, never a wealthy one. On top of that, it’s been bullied by the rich Shirasaka family which is their relative. She’s got an inferiority complex when it comes to good families.

What’s with you being chummy with Misuzu-san and Ruriko-san.who cares. I’m not a princess. Yoshi-kun should just go to the princesses!

Furthermore.with Ruriko joining in thefamilythe circumstances has changed.

TheKuromoriso far.were Minaho-neesan and the people from the mansion formerly, Misuzu, Megu, Mana and I were just added in. With Misuzu and Mana becoming mywomen.they’re supposedly to be added toKuromorias special Megu’s born in themansion so she’s been close with Minaho-neesan and co. from the beginning.

However, with Ruriko’s participation.now there’s now three groups among women in here.

1. The former members ofKuromori, Minaho-neesan, Katsuko-nee, Nagisa, Margo-san, Nei-san

2. Those linked in Shirasaka family, Megu, Mana, and YukinoーThough, she’s not in the family. 3. Those linked in Kouzuki house, Misuzu, Ruriko, Michi, Reika.and Seki-san and Yoshiko-sanーthough they’re not in thefamilyyet

Before, Misuzu was one of mywomanthrough Nagisa’s connection.then Kouzuki family were brought in and she became the head of a huge faction in a dash.

Misuzu doesn’t intend that however.that’s how Megu sees it. Furthermore, even Jii-chan entered thefamily. The Kouzuki faction is undoubtedly the major faction ofKuromori As for Megu.she feels like she’s losing her position.

Even Megu’s a princess.for me

Lies.I’m not cute! You’re cute.Megu

I rub Megu’s back.

Don’t talk to me like I’m a child.I’m not Michi-san!

.Hmm

Megu’s hard.

.Sorry

What? If you were younger or older.then I’d know what to do somehow but.

I look at Megu’s eyes.

Beautiful narrow eyes.

We’re classmates, same age.there are times I don’t know what to do

Should I pamper her or just accept her?

It’s somewhat hard. Megu then look at me with a aloof face.

Yoshi-kun should just do what he wants!

Even if you tell me that.if I do as I like, Megu will just be dissatisfied.

Even now, she’s been saving up so much emotions. How can I satisfy Megu?

Enough, if Megu-oneechan keep whining that much then just have sex with Onii-chan on the other room!

Mana who wore her dress in a hurry came back

As expected, she’s also worried about Megu. Megu’s been taking care of Mana up until now so this time, Mana’s the one worried about Megu. Or rather.Mana You didn’t wear your underwear, just your dress?

If you have sex, most of those feelings of frustration would be blown away!

Megu looks at me as Mana speaks.

I’m okay with it.Yoshi-kun, want to go to the other room?

.Err

.I won’t

Why? Even if we get rid of your bad mood with sex.Megu will just drown in sex Isn’t it fine to drown?

Megu looks at me with passionate eyes.

I don’t want to have such pessimistic kind of sex

.Yoshi-kun I’d like to have sex with Megu having a bright smile.not escaping from reality .But Megu, you’re my wife aren’t you? Isn’t Misuzu-san much better as Yoshi-kun’s wife than Megu?

.Megu

Megu.do you want to be my wife?

.I want to. But

Megu’s being crushed by her inferiority complex towards Misuzu.

Then do your best. Don’t give up

Because.I don’t have anything I could win against Misuzu-san

Megu looks down.

I’m not beautiful. I’m not an Ojou-sama. I can’t even do Japanese dance.

Bu.Megu can run, right?

I said.

The figure of Megu running on the field is so cool, I love it. I think that Megu’s running figure is beautiful

Want to have sex on the field? Idiot.I don’t mean it like that. Megu has her own charms

Yeah.I’ve got to fix this properly

Misuzu.come here

I call out Misuzu.

Misuzu who’s talking to Minaho-neesan comes to my side.

Yes, what is it Danna-sama?

I speak to Misuzu while embracing Megu

Megu seems to have inferiority complex towards Misuzu. She said that Misuzu’s a beautiful ojou-sama

Yoshi-kun.wait a moment!

With the person herself being told.Megu panics but.

I hold Megu with both of my hands and didn’t let her go.

Therefore, I’d like to make it clear in this case.Misuzu also has an inferiority complex towards Megu, right?

I tried asking for better or for worse.

No.if it’s Misuzu, she’ll understand.

Yes. Misuzu also has an inferiority complex towards Misuzu-san

.Look

.Misuzu-san, why?

Megu’s surprised.

I’m just a girl. From a normal house

Yes.therefore, there are a lot of things I can’t beat Megumi-san with

Misuzu smiles at Megu.

Misuzu has always lived in an all girl’s school.I never rode a train or a bus. I don’t know anything done by a normal high school girl

Misuzu’s going to a prestigious Ojou-sama school.

Therefore.I am very worried if I can live well with Danna-sama. Danna-sama is taking care of me and trying to match with my lifestyle.it makes me feel sorry

Megu’s listening to what Misuzu’s saying.

Perhaps, Megumi-san’s relationship with Danna-sama is a normal high school romance. Misuzu can’t ever leave Kouzuki house. I can never experience romance of ordinary high school students with Danna-sama. That’s why I’m very envious of Megumi-san!

.Misuzu-san I can’t become Danna-sama’s classmate. Even at school or sports festival.even in school trips, won’t Megumi-san be able to accompany Danna-sama?

Right, there’s those events.

Have you come home on the way from school eating ice cream? Misuzu’s envious of that. A daughter of Kouzuki house can’t buy-eat while in her uniform!

Misuzu smiles sadly.

Megumi-san, please do what Misuzu can’t with Danna-sama. Please

Misuzu-san.Sorry, I!

Megu cries.

I.

Misuzu.I’ll be going to watch during your school and sports festival. I’ll support you

Yes, I’ll prepare a family ticket for that Even in school trips.it’s impossible to do it all but I’ll try to follow you at least one day. There should be a day where you’re free to go anywhere

Yeah.I’d like to go for Misuzu even if that means skipping classes for a day

Danna-sama! Thank you very much.But

No, I’ll go anywhere. Where’s Misuzu’s school trip? Kyoto, or could it be Okinawa? .Italy

.italy?

.Isn’t Italy a whole day travel?

A direct flight will take 12 hours Hmm, you’re going for a school trip at least for a week, right? Yes Then, if it’s Sunday.then I can somehow come in and out Then you can’t stay in Italy for hours It’s fine, I just want to walk with Misuzu on the same destination .Danna-sama!

The crying Megu looks up.

Misuzu-san, sorry. I won’t say selfish things anymore

No, Megu, you can speak selfishly. In Megu’s case, it’ll just be troublesome if you hold it up That’s right, Megumi-san. Danna-sama will listen to all of our selfishness!

.Err

All is a bit troublesome but.well fine.

Misuzu-san.no, Misuzu-oneesan

Megu calls Misuzu anelder sister

No, Megumi-san. Please don’t addOnee-sanon me

Misuzu said smiling gently

Misuzu wants to be a rival equal to Megumi-san!

.Rival? Yes. A rival for being Danna-sama’s wife

7Misuzu smiles.

Megumi-san is a very touch opponent but.Misuzu won’t lose!

.I

Megu seems to have no confidence in herself.

Misuzu can’t stay with Danna-sama all day long. But, Megumi-san is on the same school, class with him.having such a normal romantic life with Danna-sama as high school students.it’s a very big handicap but I’ll never lose. Misuzu will do her best!

Misuzu’s saying that Megu’s normal high school life with me is much better than herself being a daughter of a noble family.

Megu’s much closer to me.

Understood.I won’t lose either!

Megu’s clouded heart is finally clearing up from what Misuzu said.

Misuzu swears with strong eyes.

That’s expected from Megumi-san, my rival!

Misuzu presents her hand to Megu.

The two girls shake hands.

Hmm.that’s youth for you

Jii-chan said as he look at us

Megu’s taken by Misuzu. Once again, they’re talking to Ruriko and Reika and co. Misuzu who’s gloomy a while ago.is now opening her heart through Misuzu.

That saved us. It’s thanks to Misuzu

I wonder? I think that it’s your own power No, I didn’t do anything though? Well.if that’s what you think then that’s fine

Reika comes to us.

Kakka, I never knew that afamilyis this fun!

Stop with theKakka.call meOjii-chan Okay.Ojii-chan!

Reika said embarrassed.

Hmm. Being told by a beauty like Reika-kun, it makes my body shiver.

Jii-chan said satisfied.

Then I’ll do it more. Ojii-chan!

I already had enough.hurry up and befamilywith this boy too .What?

Reika looks at me dumbfounded

Lord.why?

You don’t get it.Reika-kun, you feel so pleased about having a lot oflittle sisters, but this one is what’s essential to thefamily .is that so? Yes. In the first place, would Reika become hiswife, orsister.pick one

Reika.

Let’s see.the other members have their position clearly decided

Right. Everyone has decided their own relationship with me.

But, Michi calls Lord asMaster

That girl’s a masochist. She wants to be treated like she’s owned like a dog, so that’s fine

Jii-chan said

Then, what should I do?What does Lord hope for?

To be honest, I’m in trouble

Reika is older than Katsuko-nee and Nagisa but. She’s notNee-sanlike at all That said, she doesn’t have thewifefeel in her too No, with this person’s frank and simple personality, it’s unthinkable of her as a lover. She’s not regretting having entered ourfamily However.her relationship with me isn’t coming that nicely. I’ve got to fix this. I feel like I can’t have sex with her.

Hey hey, it’s pitiful if you ask him. Reika-kun, decide it by yourself and suggest it to him

Jii-chan said so.

That may be right but.I don’t have any experience with men at all

Reika’s troubled.

Then take your time and let’s build mutual trust bit by bit

I tell Reika.

I do trust you but. Lord isn’t a person that will forsake us and run away from the battlefield

Uhm.it’s not trust in the battlefield but trust in between man and woman

I’m trying to explain it but I can’t think of a good example.

Reika-kun.you have agreed to have sex with him, have you not?

Instead of me, Jii-chan asks Reika.

Yes.anytime will do

But, it’ll be the first time a man touches your body.won’t there be resistance? I will endure it. I’ll think of it as going to a dentist.

.Dentist?

For Reika, having sex with me is on the same level as the dentist treatment?

You can’t say that as a relationship of mutual trust.Hey, Nei, come here

Jii-chan calls out Nei-san

What’s wrong? Ah, sorry Yo-chan! I never thought that Megu-chan would get so drunk.I didn’t intend to let her drink that much

No, in that case, Megu herself is the one that wants to be drunk.

Even a glass of wine would be enough for her.

Instead of an apology.let him massage your big breasts. He looks like he wants to touch Nei’s breast so much

Hey hey.Jii-chan?

Eh, is that so Yo-chan? If you wanted to touch it then you can do it anytime!

Nei-san comes to me

.uhm!

What’s wrong, embarrassed? .Yes Then, I’ll give you a hug first!

Nei-san embraces me tightly

My face is buried in Nei-san’s plump breasts.

Ufufu.so cute!

Nei-san pats my head, showing a gentle smile.

Reika-kun.this is mutual trust between men and women

Jii-chan said

Take a look.at him and her, there’s no rejection to physical contact at all

True, it is as you say!

Reika’s looking at us curiously

Geez, Yo-chan.if you’re hugging Onee-chan then concentrate on hugging!

Nei-san scolds me.

.right

Good! Want to massage my breasts? Ah.yeah Here, go on

I put my hand on Nei-san’s breast and massage it.

Huge.soft It’s on a different level compared to Misuzu and Megu. It’s on a different dimension compared to Michi’s flat chest. Michi’s breast is 2D.Nei-san’s breast is Hyper3D. No, what am I talking about?

Want to touch it directly? Should I strip?

Nei-san said but.

No.I’m fine like this

It looks stupid but I’m massaging Nei-san’s breast while being embraced by her.

Ufufun!

What’s wrong? .I’m happy .Eh? Yo-chan’s in my arms.wanting my body. You see.I!

Nei-san whispers in my ears.

.that part’s wet right now!

.Err

I see.I’ve got to reach this stage as well

Reika.what stage?

Yes.Reika-kun, the wall in your heart is still too many. That wall is useless in front of thefamily Especially, your wall against this guy is big

.Understood. Thank you for your guidance

For Reika, sex and romance is some kind ofroad? Training?

Haa.this one’s a huge problem too. I’ve got to do something about thefamily.

Geez, you’re thinking about something else again!

Nei-san’s angry.

Ah, sorry

Geez, I’ll kiss you!

Then, Nei-san kisses me.

AH, Nei-san and Onii-chan are kissing!

Uha, true!

Mana and Mao-chan comes over.

Me too, Me too!

Mao too!

You children.

No, they’re really children though 14 and 3 years old.

Can’t be helped.here

Nei-san’s weak tolittle sisters

She let me go.

Here, Onii-chan!

Mana kisses me

She puts in her tongue like it’s natural. She’s being developed sexually even more. Is this okay?

aahn, Mao too, Mao too!

For Mao-chan.I gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Eh, you won’t kiss Mao in the mouth?

Mao-chan says that but.

Didn’t you do it before?

Yeah.I kissed Mao-chan in the bathroom in the mansion’s bathrom.

But, my decision is different from before. I’ll become Mao-chan’s papa. I can’t do any further.

Mao.a kiss in the mouth are for adults

Nagisa tells her daughter.

Then it’s okay once I’m 4?

Let’s see.around 12 years old? Mao-chan’s already a grandma by then!

Mao-chan turned everyone in the room to her enemy.

Cute, so cute!

Reika smiles and embraces Mao-chan angrily.

Don’t make that face, Reika-oneesan will kiss you!

.Ah

Reika kisses Mao-chan.

Hey.Reika-oneesan?

Nagisa panics.

.we’re family anyway

Reika shows with a straight face.

.Seriously .Then Suddenly, the door from the other room opens.

.As expected, they were here!

.Kakka!

A group of young men dressed in luxurious suit comes in.

It’s Jii-chan’sstudents

Yareyare.they found us

Jii-chan shows a sour face.

What?Ain’t there a meal prepared?

Do you not mind us partaking in this as well? Somehow, isn’t it all beautiful ladies in here? As expected.Kakka’shobby is wonderful!

The men enter without even asking for permission.

What’s with these guys?

Chapter 264

Chapter 264 : The private students.

Misuzu comes to my side.

Please don’t worry about those who made noise just now. It was purposely done by the people behind

She whispers behind my ears.

The tallest man on the back, Kouzuki Souji-san.he’s grandfather’s brother’s grandson

True, there’s a man observing us with a calm appearance.

Next to him is Souji-san’s brother, Subaru-san. The one in the middle of those making noise right now is Kouzuki Satoshi-san. That person is on the lineage of grandfather’s younger brother. On Satoshi-san’s side, Natsuko Makoto-san. It’s grandfather’s sister’s grandson. Those four are the princes of Kouzuki house.

.I see

The people around Souji-san are on his faction. Next to Makoto-san is Tsunoda Fumikazu-san. Behind Souji-san is Torada Chitoku-san, Koku Rakujin-san, Oohari Ryou-san, Kata Takashi-san.everyone of them are sons of old executives of Kouzuki group With the princes of Kouzuki family as center.they form a faction

Then.those comig from the corridor

Yeah, there’s another faction solidified near the entrance, apart from Kouzuki Souji’s faction.

There’s another group that can be seen from outside the door.

Those are the sons of the new emerging force in Kouzuki group. Shiba Akira-san.Takahiko-san’s brother. Hanaoka Shinsuke-san, Koumori Akira-san, Kawafuji Akishi-san, Kouzuki Kenshi-san.Kenshi-san’s origin is a branch family of Kouzuki family however, he’s in this faction as he hates Souji-san. Then, that’s Takagi Fuuta-san Jii-chan’s students are divided into the prince faction (9) and the rising group (6)

Just like their parents, the children are also having a conflict as a faction.

Who told you to come in?

Jii-chan glares at the young men with strong eyes.

grandfather.that is, you see

Kouzuki Satoshi panics.

You’re the grandson of my brother.not mine

Jii-chan said coldly

No.I admireKakkalike my real grandfather.

If it’s not the eldest son, then the relatives are also vassal.that’s the law in Kouzuki family. I’m not so low to needrespectfrom a young man like you

Jii-chan said.Kouzuki Satoshi fell silent.

.Satoshi, apologize toKakka

Kouzuki Souji speaks from behind.

.I will also apologize. We’re sorry for being impolite.

Kouzuki Souji bows his head.

With that pose, I can’t think of him apologizing sincerely. This guy’s disgusting.

i’m very sorry. Kakka!

Kouzuki Satoshi also bows his head.

No, it’s not just Satoshi. We also have been impolite. We’re sorry. We reflect on this

The one who said that is.Natsuki Makoto?

That person seems to be the oldest.I guess he’s in the first half of twenties. Natsuki Makoto’s apology seems to be sincere. He’s properly apologizing and reflecting on it.

Who brought you here?

Jii-chan asks the young men.

.It’s me

A woman’s voice comes from the corridor.

Then, a woman wearing tight skirt and glasses comes in the room in the middle of the young men.

You.Sudou-kun

Jii-chan said hatefully.

Yes.as president Kouzuki’s secretary, I have guided them

.Why did you not confirm it with me first? I just acted according to the time schedule prepared!

The glasses secretary said in a aloof attitude,

Time shifts are trivial

Jii-chan said but.

The schedule has already exceeded 20 minutes. In professional ethics, 20 minutes isn’t a trivial gap of time. It’ll have a huge impact on the future schedule progress

This woman’s giving priority to the time schedule over Jii-chan, the owner of Kouzuki house’s will?

Let me ask you just in case.what is the current time in your schedule?

The secretary replied.

It’s supposed to be the meal and social gathering of thestudents

Hmm. Therefore you brought them here? Yes.it’s set to be 45 minutes but it’s already over by 20 minutes. If they don’t dine in the remaining 25 minutes, it’ll affect the next schedule

The secretary said.

Jii-chan looks at Misuzu.

Misuzu.remember this. Being a secretary of a big company, people who makes misunderstandings like her will appear. Although.there is a lot of insensitive old men among the executives who just leave their schedule to someone else.

The secretary gets angry.

The feelings of grudge shows up in her face completely.

it’s the president who approved the schedule I have made!

Yes, I certainly approved of it.therefore I also have the authority to change the schedule as I please

Jii-chan said calmly

Sudou-kun.you just became my secretary this April

Yes. I became president Kouzuki’s secretary since April first The one who recommended you is.Torada-kun, secretary in chief.he’s a man that’s too stiff. .What do you mean?

The secretary speaks aloof.

You’re dismissed.return to your headquarters

Jii-chan said with cold eyes.

.Are you making an unjustified dismissal?

What, is your hearing bad? I’m saying that I’m dismissing you as my secretary. I’m not saying that you’re fired. Go back to the head office and become a secretary of some incapable executive. You’re not fit to be my secretary Jii-chan tells the secretary.

Yes, I also felt the same way. A selfish person like president don’t need a secretary’s work! You don’t tell me your destination and you don’t try to stay by the time schedule. Cancelling the schedule of dining together with the executives of other companies multipole times.Just how many times do you think I contacted them to apologize!

You’re snapping on this.hey

All of the elaborate schedules I have made for president were all thrown to the bin! I’m the one who can’t endure this!

Jii-chan snorts his nose.

.I changed my mind. You’re fired

This is tyranny! I’ll sue you!

Jii-chan.

Let me tell you beforehand.the one who recommended you, your boss, and your guarantor will all be given a penalty. Your parents in Nagano.weren’t they managing a manufacturing company?

.Why do yo know that?

Jii-chan laughs

I always read the details about my subordinates.your little sister is still a college student. Your brother should be playing softball in high school

The secretary fell silent.

I’ll put pressure on your father’s company. I’ll make all the customers cut off their connection. Your father won’t get the materials to make a product. I’ll instruct the banks to collect their loans.by the end of the month, your father’s company will be crushed, but there’s no other choice what are you talking about?

The secretary’s frightened.

I will let you know what it means to make Kouzuki Shigetaka angry

isn’t that threatening? It’s not.this is how I do things. It can be smoothly executed

Jii-chan smiles.

i will appeal to the police! Listen to this. I have acquaintance in media!

Even I do have acquaintances in media. In the first place, most of the major media outlets are under my control. I’m a major shareholder after all that’s! It’s my first time to deal with a secretary that forgets who she is you see.I had fun playing with you but it’s already a month. I’m getting bored now. I’ll ask for the next secretary who can do a bit more work and knows what she’s working on Then, Jii-chan looks at the secretary like she’s a garbage.

Go back home already. Go to the head office and pack your stuff. Then, consult the people around you what happens if you make Kouzuki Shigetaka angry. You’ll gradually understand what’s going to happen to you. The scary part starts from that!

I won’t lose!

Secretary Sudou stares at Jii-chan.

What are you talking about, there’s nothing to win or lose. There’s not a match happening between us after all

Whatever president tries to do with me, I’ll absolutely succeed. I’ll win someday!

Jii-chan laughs loudly.

He’s sneering at her.

Then.because of you, those who recommended you and your family will become unfortunate, you don’t mind that do you?

.that’s unfair President What’s unfair is you looking at others from the high place without thinking about your actual position. Aren’t you just treasuring your so small pride? I am different from president!

But still, the secretary doesn’t yield to Jii-chan.

Well fine. I probably won’t remember you tomorrow anymore. After a while, I’ll only just read the reports. When you and your father fall down.I’ll read that and remember. Oh, there was this stupid secretary that acted against me. There’s quite a lot of humans sacrificed from that.

.I

Jii-chan ignores what the secretary said and takes out his phone.

.Tanizawa. Sorry but I just fired my secretary. Have someone send her back to the head office. Right away. I don’t want to see her face again. Then.come here at once. Either way, you’ve got the important information about the secretary right? I’d like to hear the explanation of the situation directly from you The secretary trembles in disgrace as she listens to the contents of the call.

Jii-chan hangs up the phone then speaks to her.

Director Yamaoka of Kouzuki security service will be at the front desk on the first floor. If you speak to him, he’ll arrange you a car. Get out of this hotel within 5 minutes.

Jii-chan’s words were cold however you look at it.

Yes, understood. Excuse me!

The female secretary glared at Jii-chan until the end then left the room.

Thinking what’s going to happen to this hotel from now on.I let her out while it’s not too late. She probably won’t understand it

Jii-chan said whisperingly.

Minaho-kun.what do you think of that woman?

She’s a strong one. She kept glaring until the end

Minaho-neesan answers.

She’s excellent however.she’s not suitable for secretary work when it comes to behind the scenes. Her personality is to show herself forward to make an appeal

Yeah.if she becomes an entrepreneur then she’ll have a decent success. However, with her personality, she’ll make a lot of enemies and won’t work with the subordinate that’s not a yes-man

Jii-chan analyzes.

Do you want me to do something?

Minaho-neesan asks Jii-chan

Don’t you think she’s suitable on your side?

.That one? She has that personality but she looks good. Even the style. She’s confident in herself and seeks for people that spoil her. Well, if it’s her then she’ll be slightly frustrated

Jii-chan is recommending that female secretary to become a prostitute ofKuromori?

True, there are guests who like that kind of girl but.

Right. If I was younger then I would be a guest of hers too. To be honest.it was fun having arguments with her for a month .You like her? My schedule’s completely managed by Tanizawa. The female secretary just needs to sit down. And yet, she takes it seriously.it was really enjoyable making fun of her Therefore you evacuated her Yes.it feels pitiful to get her involved

Jii-chan said lonely.

Understood.please leave that child to me!

Minaho-neesan?

No way you’re really making her a prostitute?

Can you use her on your place?

She won’t become awoman in the mansion. With that personality.we can only make her a woman that takes care of Kouzuki-sama!

.Eh?

Please look forward to it!

Minaho-neesan didn’t end what she’s speaking about on purpose

However, I can understand it from the movement of her mouth Minaho-neesan saidOjii-chan

Shige-chan loves beauties with strong personality. He liked that girl you see

Nagisa whispers in my ears.

Anyway.there’s a lot to look forward for in the future. I’ve got to survive now!

.I see

Jii-chan entrusted the fate of the secretary to Minaho-neesan. I don’t think that it’s a good thing to become a prostitute but. Jii-chan’s also distorted.so he thinksIf she won’t be a woman only for me then make her a prostitute But then.the relationship of Jii-chan and that woman remains broken. Therefore, Minaho-neesan shows the possibility of Jii-chan’s relationship with that secretary to continue. With that.she’s adding fuel to Jii-chan’s energy to survive.

Now then. We need a secretary for negotiations with Shirasaka house. If there’s no flower then it’ll just be brutal.Minaho-kun, could you lend me Katsuko-kun? Well she only needs to operate machines and make tea Jii-chan tells MInaho-neesan.

I don’t mind.Katsuko

Yes, Ojou-sama

Katsuko-nee stands up.

Well then, Minaho-kun and I will pack up the arrangements. The room next to this will do. Katsuko-kun, come too. Also, I will bring Seki-san as a guard.is that okay, Misuzu? I’ll leave Fujimiya-kun to guard you all Yes, grandfather

Misuzu answers with a clear face.

.I think you understand but if you can’t rule this place then you don’t have a future

There’s fifteen students in this place.

The children of Kouzuki family’s branch house and executives. If she can’t control these people.then it’ll be hard for Misuzu to become the head of Kouzuki house. It’s bad if they smell Misuzu’s ambition now. She has to show that she’s a formidable opponent for them. Therefore, Jii-chan purposely gets off from the seat.

.Thank you for waiting,Kakka

Chief Tanizawa comes in the room.

Oh, I’ve been waiting. Let’s talk in that room!

Jii-chan speaks to Chief Tanizawa.

You people can eat here. Don’t drink alcohol. Your parents will be coming on the negotiating table with the Shirasaka family. Having the parents working seriously watch their children drink. Is just bad Jii-chan tells the prince group.

Yes, understood!

Kouzuki Satoshi answered lightly.

Then.the ladies over here are Misuzu and Ruriko’s friends. My girlfriend is also here. Try to not make any blunder!

The young men stares at us.

As expected.they seem to be interested in thewomen

Roger! Everyone, understands!

Again, Kouzuki Satoshi answers in their behalf.

Hey, those in the hallway.come with us

Jii-chan calls out the six members of the rising faction

Yes.excuse us

The six people enter bowing their heads.

They were holding back from entering the room until they get permission

One among the group said.

.Takagi Fuuta-san. He’s the spokesman of that group

Misuzu tells me in secret.

I see. Both factions have someone in charge. The prince faction.Kouzuki Satoshi who’s overfamiliar. On the rising faction.Takagi Fuuta. With their faction boss taking a stance.they don’t come out directly.

.Who’s the boss of that group?

From Misuzu’s talk earlier.the prince group has Kouzuki Souji.

The rising faction.

Originally, it’s Takahiko-san but.Takahiko-san isn’t here.

Right, Misuzu’s fiance, Shiba Takahiko.

Since their engagement is annulled, he came back from the hotel. Well, even if he remained.it’ll be hard to keep face with all the other members.

However, perhaps.it’ll be Shiba Akira-san, the younger brother

The younger if the elder isn’t present.

In short, in the rising faction, the power of the father of the two is standing out.

Who?

The one on the back.man wearing a blue tie

Misuzu tells me in a small voice.

Isn’t his age that much different from me?

.He’s on the same age as Misuzu

Shiba Akira is on second year high school.

Then, I’ll leave the place to young ones to talk to.

Jii-chan said and left the room.

Chief Tanizawa, Minaho-neesan, Katsuko-nee, and Seki-san follows. When Jii-chan and others were gone.

Oh, aren’t you cute? From where are they? Which acquaintance are you, Misuzu-san or Ruriko-san?

Suddenly.one of the young men calls out to Nei-san.

Err.it’s the guy from the prince faction.

I’m Tsunoda Fumikazu. Or rather, you know about me already don’t you?

The seducer smiles at Nei-san.

Sorry, your mouth stinks, could you go somewhere else?

Tsunoda gets angry.

What’s with you bitch!

.Hey, Tsunoda, stop that

Kouzuki Satoshi calls out from behind.

You’re the one who’s rude

But.Satoshi-san Kakkatold us not to be rude with the women!

Kouzuki Satoshi tells Tsunoda.

.I apologize for his actions. I’m very sorry, Ojou-sama

.Nei-san

Laughs out loud.

.?!

Kouzuki Satoshi looks at Nei-san.

.You guys have good teamwork. Just how many women have you taken with that technique?

Nei-san said while laughing.

The one will seduce arrogantly, then the other guy will pretend to help out the girl.what a strategy to attract. So idiotic, there’s no one in here that would be caught by that technique!

Nei-san smiles.

Bitch.making fun of us!

Tsunoda presses closer to Nei-san.

If you think so.then don’t do something as stupid as that

Margo-san comes in front

What’s with you. Whose house are you guarding? It’s a rule that guards can’t be brought here!

Tsunoda screams.

That’s just the rules for thestudentsright? I think that we’re unrelated to that!

Margo-san smiles.

i’m doing boxing!

Tsunoda pretends to be tough against Margo-san.

Is that so?Then, you’re resilient? Could you be my sandbag just for a moment?

Margo-san comes in forward holding her fist with her palm.

Hey, do something about this.aren’t you a guard from Kouzuki security service? I know that!

Kouzuki Satoshi tells Reika.

Reika’s hugging Mao-chan’s knee.the two of them are eating sweets.

Yes I am but.Why do I have to do something?

Reika seems to be unable to help but cherish Mao-chan.

She answers while putting sweets on Mao-chan’s mouth. She’s not even turning to Kouzuki Satoshi.

Because.my father’s an executive of Kouzuki group. Isn’t it your job to protect us?

Kouzuki Satoshi shouts.

.But

My current duty is to protect Misuzu-sama and Ruriko-sama.therefore

Therefore what? If you’re hostile to me then.you’ll be taken down

Reika glares at the men.

Yes. If you are impolite to my close friends.I can order Fujimiya-san to dispose of you

Misuzu said clearly

.Tsunoda, Satoshi, it’s your loss

The boss of the prince group, Kouzuki Souji.speaks to the two members.

.Misuzu-sama, I’m sorry I apologize for their rudeness

Kouzuki Souji bows his head.

This one’s also quite a cunning guy. Even though it was Tsunoda and Kouzuki Satoshi’s fault. He looks like he’s unrelated to this.

Chapter 265

Chapter 265 : Prince faction

Tsunoda approaches Nei-san overly familiar.

Pretending to help Nei-san, Kouzuki Satoshi comes over. Perhaps.this is the kind of act they use to call out girls. Sorry, sorry.this guy doesn’t mean to do anything badsaying something like that. That’s their strategy to attract girls. However, Nei-san easily read that strategy. Margo-san, Reika and Misuzu insulted them. The boss, Kouzuki Souji comes in. In the end.they repeated the same pattern.

The lady over there is just too beautiful that they’ve tried to call out in a friendly attitude. Let them apologize to you

Look.it’s the same.

.Tsunoda, Satoshi

Kouzuki Souji glares at the two.

.yes, Souji-sama

Understood.Souji-san

The two bow their heads to Nei-san

.Sorry

.Yeah

Kouzuki Souji smiles

Therefore, Misuzu-sama.could we just forgive and forget?

Then, he looks at us.no, the women in order.

Though there was a small trouble.please don’t mind it. How about it? It’s a rare opportunity so we would like to know Misuzu-san and Ruriko-san’s friends. We will also introduce ourselves. If we do a step by step process, we won’t have such troubles like earlier.

Is that your aim?

Kouzuki Souji’s trying to make Misuzu introduce us officially. Once the introduction is over.they can freely interact with us. They’re probably trying to find out the information of each of thewomen

I refuse

Misuzu said clearly

Why? Aren’t we relatives? If it’s your anr Ruriko-sama’s friends then we would like be friends with them too.earlier, that’s whatKakkahas ordered. To get along with Misuzu-sama and Ruriko-sama’s friends!

Kouzuki Souji says with a fresh smile.

If it’s a normal girl then they’ll be deceived by this confident expression. But.My Misuzu isn’t a normal girl.

My.what Grandfather has said is only for Souji-san and the otherstudentsto not make any blunders towards us. There’s noget alongfrom what he said!

Right.Jii-chan didn’t say like that

Although he didn’t say it directly.once you read the context, you’ll understand it somehow

.Contect

What context? I don’t get it.

As the two successors of Kouzuki family.to bear the future of Kouzuki group, we. Since it’s a great opportunity, I guess thatKakkathought that he wants us to deepen our understanding with each other Kouzuki Souji tries to push his opinion.

Isn’t that just Souji-san’s selfish inference?

Misuzu said.

I wonder?I think that Souji-sama’s guess is right

Calmly.Kata Takashi, one of the prince faction speaks up.

Umu, I think so too. With the food and room being well.Kakkais ordering us to be friendly with Misuzu-sama and Ruriko-sama

Natsuko Makoto speaks confidently

I think Makoto-nii is right

Kouzuki Satoshi nods

.That’s right. Kakkanever does anything useless. His orders definitely had meaning

.Unless you understand the back of each of his words, you’ll never understandKakka’sheart

Oohari Ryou and Koku Rakujin tries to add.

Rather than that.I’m hungry!

Torada Chitoku said.

The prince faction laughs out loud.

Well, just wait.first, let’s introduce each other and share a toast. It won’t be long. Torada.don’t go running to the food

Natsuko Makoto said loudly.

Misuzu-sama.that’s how it is, please introduce everyone. Please

Lastly, Kouzuki Subaru speaks to Misuzu with a friendly smile.

The boss of the prince faction, Kouzuki Souji’s brother I think he’s the youngest among them.

Right, it’s fine isn’t it? Please.Misuzu-sama!

The teamwork of the prince faction is too good.

Knowing their own position.they try to take over the situation in the direction Kouzuki Souji wants. Misuzu.

I’ve already refused.please don’t make me say it twice

misuzu-sama.why? We just want to get along with Misuzu-sama and co!

With their strong strategy failing, the younger Kouzuki Subaru comes in modestly.

That’s their formation.

There’s no need for me to get along with you people

Misuzu’s smiling but her eyes are serious

.Are you seriously saying that?

Kouzuki Souji says

Yes. Grandfather has said it a while ago. Even if you’re blood related to Kouzuki, those who aren’t in the lineage are just vassals. As long as you don’t give us proper vassal homage.I will not accept you Misuzu said.the prince faction look at each other.

The eye contact gathers at Kata Takashi.

However.Isn’t Misuzu-sama the son ofKakka’ssecond child? In other words, a daughter of the branch family. You’re not a legitimate heir in Kouzuki house.

Kata attacks logically.

This must be the planner of the prince faction.

Shut up!

Ruriko who’s been silent all this time speaks up suddenly.

Misuzu-oneesama speaks in behalf of my thoughts. Think of Misuzu-oneesama’s words as my own words!

Jii-chan’s eldest son’s daughter.Ruriko, the legitimate successor of Kouzuki family.

Actually, Misuzu and Ruriko’s father has an elder brother that was killed but.it seems that they don’t know his existence.

Ha.I’m sorry

Kata bows his head and retreats.

Since when did you two get along so well? I was sure that the relationship of the two of you weren’t that good?

Kouzuki Souji asks suspiciously.

Right. Inside Kouzuki house, Misuzu and Ruriko’s been set up to be against each other.

We’ve been getting along since before! I’ve always adored Misuzu-oneesama since I was born!

Ruriko’s a bit angry as she’s told that her relationship with Misuzu is bad

.Ruriko-san

Misuzu calls her out.

Yes, Onee-sama?

You don’t need to answer each of Souji-san’s questions. That’s his plan .I’m sorry

Yeah.He’s letting her become emotional to make them speak a lot

In the first place, they only apologized for formalities, without even confirming Nei-san’s feelings, they just try tosweep everything under the rug

Right.

These guys tries to pack it up but. They didn’t mind about the feeling of the other side at all.

Nei-sama.are you going to forgive these people?

Misuzu asks Nei-san.

Not at all. These guys are making fool of women so much!

If they apologize again? Same. Even they bow their heads, they’re laughing in their minds.I know! I hate these kind of men!

Nei-san said clearly.

.With that said, please don’t talk to us again

Chapter 266

Chapter 266 : Laughing Women

.Very well. If that’s what Misuzu-sama thinks then we will not force it either

Kouzuki Souji stares at Misuzu.

However.I’d like at least an explanation of the current situation. I’m a member of the branch family of Kouzuki house.my friends here are a group of talented people who are responsible for the future of the Kouzuki group. Naturally.we also have the right to know, don’t you think?

As usual, Kouzuki Souji doesn’t break his calm composure.

He seriously think that what he’s saying is right, and that it’s Misuzu’s duty to explain to their expectations.

What do you want to know?

Misuzu answers showing investigative eyes.

During the presentation of Konpeki school, the political performance you made.the mysterious man over there come up to the stage

No.I went up the stage on my own will

However, Kouzuki Souji thinks that Misuzu’s the same as her, a schemer with ambition to Kouzuki house. That’s why she thinks our love ispolitical

With Shiba Takahiko’s reaction afterwards.and after we moved to this hotel, with the fact that only Shiba Takahiko was called byKakka. Kata.what do you think?

Kouzuki Souji does the team play.

He’s probably thinking that it would put more pressure to Misuzu doing it as a group instead of an individual.

Yes.first, it’s definitely Shiba Takahiko who’s secretly nominated asMisuzu’s fiancebyKakka

Kata bows down to his boss and answers.

Then.Shiba Takahiko was very upset when he came back to our waiting room fromKakka’ssummon. For some reason, he looks very mentally shocked

Oh.indeed, he looks like that. He’s in a state of panic and nothing else. He didn’t come in contact with us at all.and he shows a bare expression of hate to our group. He only muttered to his brother, Shiba Akira.and said that he feels sick so he’s coming home.

Kouzuki Souji ridicules Shiba Takahiko.

I see.Shiba Takahiko having hisfiancestatus stripped out of him. He definitely don’t want to have theprince grouphis enemy to investigate the circumstances. He ran away alone. Well.it’s these elites who make that kind of laugh.

He’s definitely looked miserable! Hahaha!

Natsuko Makoto of the prince faction laughs lively.

Following, Kouzuki Satoshi, Torada Chitoku, Koku Rakujin, Tsunoda Fumikazu, Oohari Ryou also laughs. They’re not laughing because it’s funny. They’re just laughing to damage the members of therising factionwho are solidified in the entrance of the room, especially Shiba Akira. Its intentional.malicious

Akira-kun.what did your brother tell you at that time?

Then again.Natsuko asks with an attitude that it’s natural to report to him.

However, Natsuki has the dignity to push it through. If Tsunoda purposely shows a frivolous and rude attitude. Natsuko approaches the other’s heart with a bossy atmosphere.

.That’s only a family talk. That’s not something I can tell everyone

Shiba Akira answered calmly.

Don’t say that Akira-kun! Aren’t we all the samestudents

Kouzuki Subrau.the youngest speaks brightly

If you can’t tell everyone.then tell only me later in secret! Aren’t we both the youngest among thestudents You can consult me on anything!

Uwaa.Kouzuki Subaru smiles like a male idol

Strongnextsoft.they take each step after the other attentively.

Subaru.don’t push it. Akira-kun has his own circumstances as well. Being able to guess from that is what true friendship means

Yes.Souji-niisama Akira-kun, sorry, I didn’t think of your feelings. I’ve said something unneeded. But, I’m really worried about you. I’d like you to understand at least that!

Aah.so annoying.

What’s with that annoying smile!

Now then.on the other hand, we must infer the current situation from what we know. Kata, state your inference

.Ha, Souji-sama. I’ll present my findings. This is only my selfish inference but it may be different from the actual situation.

Kata is making an excuse that this is only his own inference.

In short.what he’s going to say won’t be the official view ofPrince faction. It’s only an individual reasoning it can’t be helped if it’s somewhat disrespectful.

The secretly nominatedMisuzu-sama’s fianceis Mr. Shiba Takahiko.Kakka’stwo granddaughters, Ruriko-sama and Misuzu-sama’s fiance.will be two among our group, thinking that we’ll become harmonious in the future Kata-san, could you make it easier to understand for me?

Prince faction’sTorada said loudly.

Sure, in short.perhaps, Ruriko-sama’s fiancewill be among us, the sons of the vassals who supported the framework of Kouzuki house for mnay years. Ruriko-sama is the legitimate successor of Kouzuki house. I think that he won’t be able to accept a new faction’s son as his grandson-in-law I see, in exchange.the next in line, Misuzu-sama is thought to be matched with Shiba Takahiko

Natsuko adds in Kata’s explanation.

Yes. Shiba Takahiko is the eldest among the members among us.If you make Mr. Shiba Okitachi the top of the Kouzuki group’srising factionas a vent, then it’ll be a very effective plan

Kata expresses Misuzu and Takahiko’s engagement asventing

Oh.Making the old men satisfied by marrying Misuzu-sama with therising faction No, those people have to be satisfied with that alone!

Natsuki said.

Umu.there’s no need to concede to therising factionany further

Koku Rakujin nods seriously.

No. let’s change the tracks a bit. If he marries with Misuzu-sama, then Shiba house will become relative to Kouzuki house too. Then that means.Shiba house will be transferring fromrising factionto theaged vassalsgoup Kata speaks his opinion.

I see, Kakka thought of accepting Shiba house as a vassal afterwards!

Well.Mr. Shiba Okitachi has merits to be recognized Rather than that.if Shiba Okitachi comes away, therising powerwithin Kouzuki group will collapse. Isn’t thatKakka’saim instead?

Kouzuki Satoshi, Oohari, Natsuki speaks selfishly in order.

In the end.it seems that they believe that theirTraditional vassal in Kouzuki groupis superior and therising factionis inferior .Or rather You guys are sons of branch family executives! Even though they’re not working in the Kouzuki group themselves.how dare they speak bossy like that.

.However, with that man’s appearance, it seems thatKakka’splan have changed!

Kata points at me.

Kata.what do you mean by that?

Kouzuki Souji smiles.

Yes.Misuzu-sama has introduced that man to the audience at the theater today. As it’s a presentation of Konpeki school family.the people in the audience seats were people of political and business world. Making such a performance in that gathering, means, it’s made known that this man is Misuzu-sama’s partner However.Kakkashould’ve named Shiba Takahiko as thefiance His attitude afterwards have shown it

Yes, Souji-sama.what Misuzu-sama did is an obvious act of going againstKakka’swill A person not belonging to the Kouzuki family.a first class act of rebellion!

Kata criticizes Misuzu.

But.Kakka’s been smiling in here a while ago

Kouzuki Souji mutters.

His conversation with Misuzu-sama is as usual.nothing has changed. On the contrary, he also allowed this man on the same room

Theprince faction’seyes gather at me

Looking at Shiba Takahiko’s state.it’s certain that he has taken down Misuzu’s fiance. Then that means thatKakkahas accepted this man and Misuzu-sama’s relationship!

Kouzuki Souji makes his inference.

Hey.who are you?

.I

Umu.I’ve never seen him before!

Hey, you, which family did you come from? .Isn’t he the son from therising faction? If only us don’t know him Umu.that’s my only guess No, it’s possible that he might be someone from another corporate group True.then, I can understand whyKakkakicked Shiba Takahiko for this guy to replace.

Seriously.speaking all those selfish things.

Do you guys think that the world is centered aroundKouzuki group? .Eh?

Hey, hurry up and answer! Kouzuki Souji-san is asking you!

Tsunoda orders me bossily!

.Dammit!

.It’s Kuromori!

Nei-san answers instead of me.

We’re all from Kuromori house!

Nei-san smiles

That’s right, we’re from Kuromori.right, Mao?

Nagisa follows up.

Yes, Mama!

Mao-chan smiles.

Yeah.right. I’m a guard that’s serving Kuromori house!

Margo-san answers with a smile.

Ah, we’re from Kuromori house too!

Mana said.

Hey, Megu-oneechan too!

me too.I’m from Kuromori

Michi remains silent.

Surely, someone among these guys knows Kudou papa. of course, Reika who’s from Kouzuki security service is also silent. Yukino.she’s hiding behind Reika. Misuzu opposes theprince factionhead on. Ruriko is holding Yoshiko-san’s hand, taking a seat.staring at the whole room.

.Kuromori?

.Have you heard about it? .No? What about Kata? I’m very sorry!

The prince faction people look at each other.

The eldest among them is still in their early twenties. They probably haven’t heard about the high class prostitution mansionKuromorifrom their parents No.withKuromorion a horrible state because of Shirasaka Sousuke. The gathering of political and business heads in Former Japan, the glory days ofKuromori tower.They won’t know it from anyone but their grandfathers

.I know about it

Shiba Akira speaks up from the entrance.

Oh.you do, Akira-kun?

Kouzuki Souji look at Shiba Akira.

His words were composed but there’s a self-important wind in his voice.

Yes.I’ve heard it from my father

Shiba Okitachi.knows aboutKuromoriand told his son about it?

If so.then that would be a countermeasure against Jii-chan. Jii-chan sent Kyouko-san and returned Morimoto-san to support Minaho-neesan.backing upKuromorisomehow However, at the same time.Jii-chan is also involved in the management of a high class prostitution mansion. Isn’t that a card of Shiba Okitachi to kick off Jii-chan? Such suspicion whirls inside me.

Oh, Akira-kun knows? If you don’t mind then do tell us!

Kouzuki Subaru talks to Shiba Akira with that flimsy smile again.

From what I’ve heard.it’s a house that knows all of the secrets of political and business world since postwar Japan

ThePrince factionholds their breath from what Shiba Akira said

.What the hell?

There’s no way a manga-like house exists you know? Umu.your father might be just joking

Kouzuki Satoshi, Tsunoda and Oohari speaks their impression.

Well of course they exist!

Nei-san laughs

Nei.you mustn’t laugh at naive children!

Aren’t you laughing too, Margo-san

Ah, sorry! But you see, these guys are just too funny!

Nei-san laughs out loud

You’re right.they’re so stupid it makes me laugh

Nagisa laughs too.

Eh, what’s wrong.Mama?

Mao-chan asks Nagisa.

Take a look at them Mao.those men have been speaking a lot of stupid things showing a serious face since a while ago, right?

Yeah.they look so bossy! Right? Let’s laugh. That’s why, let’s laugh! Nyahahahaha! Yeah, they’re funny!

Mao-chan laughs.

Really.they don’t have anything with their own power, what a really funny bunch

Ruriko also seems to really can’t forgive their rudeness to them.

Yoshiko, let’s laugh too!

Ruriko-sama? These idiots here are our relatives.we must at least laugh or won’t it be pitiful for them?Fufufu

Ruriko laughs at theprince faction

ruriko-sama?

Kouzuki Souji’s surprised.

No, it’s not just theprince factionbut also therising groupare all surprised. Shiba Akira as well.

You don’t know that you’re just dolls obedient to grandfather? But, we’re humans. For people we can only evaluate by ridiculing, we can only laugh from the bottom of our hearts!

Misuzu laughs.

Ahahahahaa! yeah! This is certainly funny! It’s so funny!

Reika laughs too.

Nufufufu, gufufufu

.Michi, if you’re not good at laughing then you don’t need to force yourself

Megu-oneechan, let’s laugh too

.But, I can’t just laugh out suddenly That’s just easy! Just goWahahahaloudly! One two! Wahahahahahaha! Wa, wahahahaha! We’ll let you Kuroko-chan join us only for now, so hey.Laugh! Uwahahaha!

Urged by Mana, even Yukino starts laughing.

Somehow.mywomenfeels very chaotic .Is this okay?

.Ruriko-san

Misuzu smiles at Ruriko

Yes.Misuzu-oneesama?

Ruriko smiles back

.As the rightful successor of Kouzuki house, you should tell your vassals

Ruriko stands up.

I will decide who is my partner. Grandfather has given be plenty of advice but I will be the one to decide

.Ruriko

I won’t become a tool for your own selfish conflicts. If you want to get me then abandon that miserable group and make efforts to polish yourselves!

Theprince faction is clearly underestimating Ruriko.

Everyone’s surprised from her strong words.

Misuzu-oneesama should be clear with these people as well

Ruriko passes the baton to Misuzu.

We are grandfather.Kouzuki Shietaka’s granddaughters. We’re born, and raised differently from weak humans like you!

Misuzu closes up to Ruriko.

Putting her hand on Yoshiko-san’s shoulder. She’s sending a message to Yoshiko-san thatyou’re also Kouzuki Shigetaka’s granddaughterin a way they won’t notice.

We were born with the Kouzuki house on our shoulders

Misuzu’s eyes are shining powerfully.

.If you’re shouldering the house then why are you pulling such a strange man?

Kouzuki Souji tries to provoke Misuzu, but.

I will marry this man. That is already accepted by grandfather. Surely you won’t challenge the decision of Kouzuki Shigetaka, the owner of Kouzuki house, would you?

Misuzu looks down on thestudents

Grandfather has accepted my relationship with him with a condition not to pull him in the Kouzuki family

Shiba Akira’s surprised.

Why is that?

Misuzu.

This one.Kuromori-sama, even if he marries me, he won’t enter any related group in Kouzuki house. He’s completely separate from the Kouzuki group

Then that means that Misuzu-sama will be leaving Kouzuki house?

Shiba Akira asks.Misuzu laughs

Kuromori-sama and I are different personalities.I will stay as a member of Kouzuki family. Why do you think I can leave Kouzuki house this late?

Ruriko adds on Misuzu’s words.

Yes.Misuzu-oneesama will assist me in Kouzuki house along with Yoshiko!

Yoshiko-san looks up.

.Ruriko-sama?

Let’s be together forever.Yoshiko

Yoshiko-san.

Yes.Yes

She nods to Ruriko with tears on her eyes.

In short.the man over there won’t take any position in Kouzuki house.and Misuzu-sama and Ruriko-sama will be involved in the managemen tof Kouzuki group by themselves?

Shiba Akira says, Misuzu.

That’s what we’ve just said. Akira-san.I thought that you were a bit more understanding but.

No.I’m very sorry!

Misuzu smiles fearlessly

We don’t like trivial men like you messing up our treasured Kouzuki group. If you all can’t meet our expectations then we’ll do it ourselves

You’re right, Onee-sama.Ruriko’s been disillusioned by the way these people behave

The two most beautiful girls on Kouzuki house insults the elites.

Just because your fathers are executives, you’ve been mistaken to think that you’ll be able to enter the Kouzuki group like that

However.Misuzu-sama, we have served Kouzuki house for generations!

Tsunoda shouts.

Why do we have to hire you just because your ancestors were loyal?

Misuuz cuts it down.

Frankly speaking.I can’t endure your attitude since a while ago. We’ve clearly understood that you’re not loyal to Kouzuki family whoever your fathers may be

Ruriko said

No.we.

Kouzuki Souji speaks but.

You people only think of Kouzuki group as your playground. I’m sorry but I don’t want to accept you players

Misuzu said.Kouzuki Satoshi

Don’t fuck with me! Just what can you women do?

That’s right, making a fool out of us! Don’t underestimate us just because you’reKakka’sgranddaughters!

Tsunoda also screams.

That’s right.the current head isKakka AndKakkaacknowledges our talent!

Kata desperately shouts

That’s right! You’re unrelated at all! It’s all forKakkato decide!

Kouzuki Satoshi’s excitement won’t go away.

Souji-sama.now that it comes to this, then let’s make it clear who’ll become Ruriko-san’s husband!

Tsunoda fuels further.

That’s right, I can’t think of anyone be married to Ruriko-sama and become the next head of Kouzuki family but Souji-sama

Oohari said.

Yeah, I second that

Me too!

Koku and Torada too.

Seriously.this pattern again? Shouting their opinion on the same direction.forcibly developing it to a majority vote.

.I definitely don’t want Souji-san!

Ruriko said

I hate narrow minded people like you!

Ruriko’s words pierces Kouzuki Souji’s heart but!

Souji-sama.Ruriko-sama’s opinion doesn’t matter!

That’s right, that’s right.Kakkajust needs to accept Souji-sama! Yeah, either way, Kakkawill order for Souji-sama and Ruriko-sama to marry. That’s absolute! I’m looking forward for that time to come!

How dare they to say that hopeful prediction.

Wow.could it be that you guys are idiots?

Nei-san said amazed.

What the hell? What do you mean?

Tsunoda glares at Nei-san

.You guys don’t think that Kouzuki old man is monitoring this room?

Chapter 267

Chapter 267: Fool ship

.What did you say?

Theprince factionguys fell silent from what Nei-san said

Don’t you think that old man that can’t help but cherish and love his two granddaughters leave you in the same room as them and don’t do anything?

Nei-san smiles

Isn’t this that old man’s hotel? He seems to be using it on his conferences.naturally, this should also be equipped with wiretap and surveillance cameras!

Yes.that’s right

Reika answers

This hotel is the business base of Kouzuki group!

You’re right, as far as I can see.that ceiling and that wall over there, and under the decoration of that pillar over there is also a surveillance camera

Margo-san participates.

The mics are there, there, and there? Yeah, usually, you’d put it like that. However, in such a facility, everything that you can obviously point out is a fake and the cameras and microphones are set up in a separate location though!

Oh. Theprince faction’sface are going pale

Well of course. Even though Jii-chan told them to not make any blunders towards the women. Their disrespect has become a lump of blunders.

In the end.you can’t see reality at all

Nei-san ridicules the men.

Listen! That old man, the fiance Kouzuki Shietaka has decided have been rejected and yet.Mii-chan and this guy’s relationship were accepted! Do you get it?

Err.Nei-san?

What do you mean by that?

That’s right.Grandfather has approved of this man to be my husband

Misuzu declares once again.

That’s right! You calling Mii-chanMisuzu-samameans that in Kouzuki house’s rules, your grandfather’s blood is close yet lower than Mii-chan?

With their rules.that’s how it is

This guy was accepted as Mii-chan’s partner. It was Kouzuki Shietaka-san’s decision. Then.you know what that means don’t you?

Nei-san said sadistically.

You all are in a lower position that this guy! If he’s Mii-chan’s husband then, he’s Ojii-chan’s grandson-in-law! He’s on a position above yours already!

No.that’s not true.

Misuzu’s mywomanbut. I’m not interested in Kouzuki house at all .But For theprince factionwho sticks to the rule of their bloodline. Nei-san’s remark seems to be grave.

Everyone, emergency meeting!

Suddenly.Kouzuki Souji tells his faction

yes.Souji-sama

Umu.let’s go!

The nine members ofPrince factiongather around Kouzuki Souji.

Looking at each other, they seem to be consulting each other whisperingly. Really.even though they seem bossy. These guys are just small.

Akira-san. Please don’t stay there and come in. Everyone else must be hungry too. Why don’t you eat?

Misuzu ignores theprincefaction and speaks to Shiba Akira and therising factionguys

They’ve always been pressured byprince faction.frozen in the front of the entrance.

Yes.thank you very much. I will depend on your words

Shiba Akira thanks Misuzu on behalf of the group.

However.please stop trying to talk to my friends. You men shouldn’t come from that table over there. Could you promise me that?

.Certainly

Shiba Akira accepts Misuzu’s orders.

Come everyone.we’ve been given permission by Misuzu-sama. Let’s eat

.Yes .Umu .Let’s do so

Therising factionheads to the table timidly

They only speak a few words. They’re not talking to each other. Calmly.they walk slowly, trying not to take over someone. They all eat scattered around. Nobody’s trying to talk to Shiba Akira. Huh? It’s not that Shiba Akira is the leader of the group. As expected.with the elder brother, Shiba Takahiro leaving, they were damaged?

.Those people aren’t as united as a group as Souji-san and others

Misuzu whispers to me.

Souji-san and his group were children of the vassals who served Kouzuki house for generations so they’ve known each other since childhood

Therefore.their teamwork is that good.

In Kouzuki family, bloodline is everything. Therefore.with Kouzuki Souji who’s closes to the head, Jii-chan, has been decided to be the boss of the group from the beginning.

Inside the group.Souji-san’s the first grandson of grandfather’s brother, the second is Subaru-san. The third is Satoshi-san who belongs on the branch family. Then next ones don’t belong to Kouzuki house but Natsuko-san who’s a relative.is decided to be the first among the list Since the list has been decided from the beginning with the bloodline.the other people doesn’t try to overcome Kouzuki Souji.

However.each and one of them play a role they’re given in the group. Well.if they’re aware of it then it’s fine, but. I can’t understand them pushing their ownrulesof their narrow world to us. They can just continue theirpretend friendsin their own closed world forever.

Then.as for Akira-san’s group

Misuzu whispers.

These group’s fathers have gained career in the company of Kouzuki only for a generation.their rise is accepted in business, invited by the Kouzuki group

Oh I see.

If their parents gained power in Kouzuki group just recently. Then they never had any childhood friendship.

That group isn’t as united as Souji-san’s group

Yeah.they’re just gathering somehow to opposeprince faction.

Shiba Takahiko and Shiba Akira aren’t the leaders of the faction

Rather.the people in that group are competing with each other

In short.everyone is targetting Ruriko’s father.the head of Kouzuki house?

In reality.Only Shiba Okitachi has the real ability to stand up against the old vassals of Kouzuki house

The other guys don’t have that much individual power.

That’s why they have no choice but to gather. However, with that said.they don’t plan to become followers of Shiba Okitachi, who has the most power. .Hmm This one’s also a troublesome bunch too.

Wait a moment.earlier, there was the talk about Shiba Takahiko being Misuzu’sfiance, then the old vassals of Kouzuki family accepting Shiba house to their group right?

Instead of becoming a relative of the Kouzuki family by marrying Misuzu.it’ll be them taking in the rising power of Shiba Okitachi.

That is just a selfish interpretation of Souji-san and co

Misuzu said

I think that grandfather’s aim is still to make harmony in between the old group and the rising group. However.it seems that Akira-san and others are soured by that talk

Oh.If Shiba Takahiko was madefianceof Misuzu with the reason theprince factionhas said.

Then Shiba Okitachi has betrayed the rising group and it means that he’ll change into the old group. Therefore.the youth ofrising factionare eating far from Shiba Akira

Please be careful.Danna-sama

Misuzu tells me anxiously

Eh.what about?

The next thing those people will think is to take in Danna-sama

To take me in?

Yes, their faction will dominate if they are able to take in Danna-sma to their side

No, but.I’ve got nothing to do with Kouzuki group

Misuzu has declared a while ago that I won’t be entering the Kouzuki group.

Those people won’t be convinced with what I said.everyone of them thinks that Kouzuki group is everything

Really.what a troublesome bunch

Please brace yourself.Danna-sama is the man recognized by Kouzuki Shigetaka!

Misuzu smiles.

Ah, Maru-chan and I will bring the drinks and sandwiches in here!

Nei-san said.

When we don’t let them come close to us.then we’d lose another refill of food and drinks. Let’s take some while it’s not late!

Yeah.it’s better to bring it while theprince factionis talking

Ah, I’m going too

It’s better to do it all with lots of people.

Then, I will be going too!

Reika stands up.

Reika-oneechan.I want another orange juice!

Mao-chan smiles.

Well.so cute! Yeah, so cute!

Reika seems to have completely liked Mao-chan.

She pats Mao-chan’s head.

Children are amazing aren’t they?

Nagisa smiles at Reika.

Yes!

Reika-oneesan want to give birth soon too? Having your own child is good too

Reika speaks while holding Mao-chan.

I currently am on the time where my energy and physical strength are the best. I want to fulfill my work as a guard for now

If she gets pregnant, give birth.Reika can’t think of her keeping her current state.

Is that so? That’s a regret

It’s not. I’ll be affectionate with Mao-chan a lot!

Reika pokes Mao-chan’s soft looking cheeks.

Mao-chan happily laughs.

.You need apron dress don’t you?

Apron dress?

Nagisa’s surprised from what Reika said.

Yes, as expected.if you’re raising a little girl with a British hobby, I think then you shouldn’t take off apron dresses

Hey.Reika?

I’ll teach the language ofalice in the wonderland andsong of mother goose If she grows bigger thenSherlock Holmes Mufufu.I’m looking forward to it!

Reika seems to want to make Mao-chan into the same British hobby as herself.

Err. Well fine. Nagisa seems to be only smiling wryly. If it becomes a problem, Minaho-neesan and Katsuko-nee will stop it so it’s fine.

Then, let’s go!

Margo-san calls us out

.Then

Wait.Onii-chan

Mana comes to me.

What’s wrong? Is there anything you want to get?

Drinks or food.

Yeah! My panties!

.Panty?

You see.Mana left her panties on that chair!

Mana.you

I even told you to wear a dress in a hurry after your prostrating naked. You didn’t put on your underwear.

.There?

.Yup

Wow.by the way, it’s just on the right side where theprince factionis making a conference.

Those guys are in the middle of a discussion so they haven’t noticed the panty on the chair.

Sorry! You can punish me later so please pick it up for now!

Mana holds my hand.

.Seriously. But, I can’t let those men come close to Mana. She’s having no panties right now after all

I get it.I’m going

Thanks Onii-chan!

Mana whispers to my ear.

.I’ll be serving you a lot later so please feel a lot good in Mana’s stomach!

The 14 year old beauty smiles at me.

.Haa Anyway.I’m going Along with Margo-san, Nei-san and Reika. I invade the men’s zone. Okay.let’s get close to Mana’s panty casually Pretending that it’s not the panty. But looking at the dish on the table. .3、2、1、0! Okay.GET! I shove the panty I picked up into my pocket. .Then

Hey, bastard1

I got shocked

The voice who called me out isprince faction’sNatsuki Makoto

Souji-sama wants to talk with you. Come here!

Err.

For the time being, it’s not exposed that I took Mana’s panty.

Hey, hurry up!

Speaking in a commanding tone makes me a bit angry.

In the first place.My position isn’t that far from Kouzuki Souji Won’t our voices reach if we speak loudly?

I don’t intend to go there.if you’ve got something to talk about then how about coming here!

I strongly rejected it

What?You’re cocky!

Kouzuki Satoshi insults me.

Well fine. I’ll allow it just this case!

.Souji-sama? We can’t have a constructive conversation with a coercive attitude.right, Satoshi? Yes, Souji-sama Hey, bastard.be thankful for Souji-sama’s generous heart! Yeah, as expected of Souji-sama!1

.That kind of development again?

They’re trying to make a show where Kouzuki Souji is a huge vessel, but. They’ve done it multiple times that their childishness is emphasized. Anyway, they’re just idiots.’ Each of them are smart elites but. From the moment they think that they’re the chosen ones.they became a group of idiots.

Then.what do you want to talk about?

I asked.

I make sure the paths to exit while talking. It’ll be hard to escape when I’m surrounded. I don’t think that they’d attack me so suddenly but. No.don’t neglect caution. If I die.then Misuzu will be free again. It’ll create a situation as Kouzuki Souji desires. For better or for worse, they might try to kill me. If I don’t make such assumptions. I won’t be able to survive. .Oh I wish I had my beat up stick. If it is Cesario Viola then it’s dangerous to be armed.so I left the beat up stick on the school

Then.let me get straight to the point

Kouzuki Souji tells me.

Join us

.What?

As special appreciation, Souji-sama is saying that you bastard can join our faction!

Natsuko Makoto says loudly

In exchange, you promise your loyalty to Souji-sama. Our leader is Souji-sama.okay?

.Err

What’s with this triumphant face, these people look down on me. Are all your brains rotten?

To become our ally is to become the central being that moves the next generation of Kouzuki.it’s not a bad deal for a bastard like you

Natsuko Makoto tells me with most dignity

Misuzu-sama said that you don’t intend to enter the Kouzuki group but.you’ve got ambitions too right? No, there’s no need to answer. I know

Kata says with a ridiculous attitude.

Uhm.I’m going to start a bakery though

Bread? Aiming for the Kouzuki General Foods Generation?

Oohari shouts.

No, you’re wrong, It’s just a normal bakery. One that’s selling bread in the town.

No way.a Franchise business? Kata. How many restaurant and bread chains inside Kouzuki group? 18 companies and 26 brands!

Hey guys.

Listen to me.

Souji-sama, isn’t that great? Since we all desire for finance and mass communication companies in Kouzuki group. If this guy says he wants to engage in food, then there’s no problem letting him do it Tsunoda says something frivolous again.

Right. We intend to push the industries we’re not interested in to Shiba Takahiko and others.so it’s fine? We’ll let you take in the food industry so you can come under me

Kouzuki Souji said calmly

Ah.these guys are no good If these guys succeed the parents and become the executives of Kouzuki group. Kouzuki group will be crushed.

Sorry to tell you but I don’t want to be your allies you know?

I said clearly

Why? Why are you refusing even on such favorable conditions

That’s right, the goddess of fortune don’t give second chances you know. Take it right now if you can! You see.Souji-sama’s giving you an opportunity so it’s foolish not to get on it!

Yeah

That’s right.I’m foolish. Sorry

I’ll try to get away from this spot right away.

Margo-san, Nei-san, and Reika seems to have carried the food and drinks needed. Like hell I can stay with this flock of idiots!

.Sorry

I try to go back to Misuzu.

Hey, wait a moment! I’m not done talking!

Natsuki Makoto, Oohari Ryou, Koku Rakujin tries to catch me.

Shit, they’re moving fast. I’d be surrounded if this continues!

.Master!

Michi jumps in to help me!

Don’t approach them

Kouzuki Souji orders

That one’s Kudou’s daughter!

.Kudou? The guard kept byKakka? The daughter should be using the same strange techniques as her father! Do you know about it, Kata? Yes. She’s my little sister’s classmate!

Haa.Kata’s little sister is the young lady over there?

While they were talking.Michi comes into my front in a blink of an eye.

Master, your hand!

Yeah

I hold Michi’s hand.

Let’s go, please follow me!

Michi.don’t let them hurt you! .Certainly

We slipped away from theprince factionas Michi and I hold hands.

what’s with her.her movement’s strange!

Kudou style’s secrets is to completely bend the enemy’s Ki.

Outwitting the enemy’s expectations.we returned back to Misuzu and others.

.Stop! I forbid you from going further than that!

Misuzu rules the men

Any more than that and we won’t hold back from using force!2

Margo-san and Reika comes to Misuzu’s side.

With the two tall beauties by her side.it has become threatening

Now then.what will you do?

Reika holds up her cane.Kouzuki Souji

Let’s back off.

He orders showing an unpleasant face.

.Fuu The situation didn’t explode. Well, it turns to a brawl. Then Margo-san, Reika and Michi would just beat those guys thoroughly. I’m glad nobody got hurt.

Huh.Satoshi-san, that woman?

Tsunoda looked at us and noticed something.

Hm, Tsunoda?

Kouzuki Satoshi comes to Tsunoda

.As expected she is! There’s no mistake!

Like I said, what? That woman’s Shirasaka Yukino!

Tsunoda noticed Yukino.

What?

No, I’m sure. She may be disguised but she can’t fool my eyes! I’ve seen her on Yoshinaga house’s party before! Hey, Satoshi-san, weren’t you with me?

He met Yukino on a party?

Ah, that’s right! There’s no mistake! That’s Shirasaka Yukino!

Kouzuki Satoshi cries out

.Shirasaka Yukino?

Yes, he’s the daughter of Shirasaka Sousuke who’s in trouble right now! Didn’t the media say that she’s missing? Therefore she’s here!

Theprince factionsays one after another

Eh, wait a moment.everyone!

Kouzuki Subaru who’s the youngest took over Tsunoda and Kouzuki Satoshi and speaks

Is that person really Shirasaka Yukino-san?

The gazes of the men gather around Yukino.

Shiba Akira and others of therising factionare also looking interestingly .This is bad. Kouzuki Subaru asks Misuzu.

Why is Shirasaka Yukino-san with Misuzu-sama?

1. Bastards not knowing how to use Sasuga, you only use Sasuga for Onii-sama and Ainz-sama

2. Yeah, use the force!

Chapter 268

Chapter 268 : Vassal’s manners

The gaze of the room is concentrated on Yukino who’s wearing a yellow and black stripped dress and a funny make-up.

i.

Yukino speaks

.I’m not Shirasaka Yukino-san nari!

.Nari?

No, there’s no doubt. I’ve checked all of the women coming from noble families at that party! You’re disguised strangely but you’re definitely Shirasaka Yukino!

Kouzuki Satoshi shouts!

.I’m not Narii! I’m Kashima Kuroko Narii!

.Err

You’re sticking with that character, Yukino?

What’s with Kashima Kuroko! 1

I’m wearing a yellow and black stripe dress so it’s Kishima Kuroko Narii!

Yukino.you’re just exposing your own disguise you know

The fuck? Then.if you were wearing red and white clothes you’re Akai Shirako?

.maybe Maybe? .maybe.Narii!

Kouzuki Satoshi and Yukino.

You guys are a good comedy duo.

.Or rather, you’re Shirasaka Yukino-san aren’t you?

Kouzuki Subaru asks showing an amazed expression.

That’s right.you’re Shirasaka Yukino!

Kouzuki satoshi pushes on Yukino once again.

Yukino.

.Chaunen!

..

.I’m a woman born from Osaka, not Shirasaka Yukino-han dosu

.Dosu?

Are you really not her?

indeed!

.Sayou?2

It’s wrong woo, it’s wrong gowasu. I’m not Yukino-san degozaru, nin nin!

.Aah

.We We might be witnessing to a birth of a new talent.

in the first place.a stylish person like Shirasaka Yukino-san don’t dress funnily like me. Yukino-san’s so stylish, fashionable, makes fuss about dresses more than anyone else.

Yukino’s eyes are becoming teary.

This.making me look like a comedian.being taken around in this appearance.such humiliation! I’ll never agree to this! I’ll never forgive you all! Never!

Glaring at us.Yukino’s heating up.

.Does that mean that you’re admitting that you’re Shirasaka Yukino?

Mana asks.

.Hoe?

Well, aren’t you? Saying that you’re humiliated being made to look like a comedian.then, who are you?

Mana shows a sadistic smile.

Really, she’s harsh against her sister. I think that it’s distorted affection though.

i!

Yukino’s mouth flap widely, confused.

The identity of Yukino is shaking loose.

I’m Kishima Kuroko Narii!

.You’ve already done that!

Mana won’t allow Yukino to go back from the start.

i!

Tears accumulate in Yukino’s eyes.

I.this isn’t me! I don’t want this! This is.wrong! This isn’t me!

Therefore.if you’re saying it’s not you then who are you?

Mana asks while snorting at her sister.

You should quit before you anger me! Maika!

Yukino snaped.

Are you happy making a fool out of me? Is it fun? Becoming friend with that group of people!

Hearing that.Prince faction’sKata.

No way.Shirasaka Maika?

Unu?What do you mean, Kata?

Oohari Ryou asks Kata.

No, if I recall, Shirasaka Sousuke has a daughter named Shirasaka Maika other than Shirasaka Yukino!

.Do you know her, Satoshi?

Kouzuki Souji asks Kouzuki Satoshi.

No.I’ve never met her at the party

Mana’s body was weak so until a few years ago.she’s been living with her relatives in Shizuoka away from her family in Tokyo.

Therefore, she shouldn’t have shown her face as much as Yukino on noble parties. Also, Mana has an inferiority complex towards her sister who likes to go the limelight on flashy clothing. Even after coming back from Tokyo, Mana hardly came to party with Yukino.

I’m Mana. I’m Onii-chan’s little sister.I’m completely unrelated to someone like you!

.Mana

After knowing that her father’s evil.abandoned by her mother and grandfather. Above all, raped by me. The identity of the girl named Shirasaka Maika collapsed and reconstructed to another character named Yoshida Mana. Shirasaka house’s daughter.Yukino’s little sister, Shirasaka Maika is no longer here. Maika has gone far away. The woman here is my little sister, my sex slave. Mana preserves her sanity by seeking me, becoming mywoman I intend to take responsibility for Mana for the rest of my life. This one doesn’t have any one left but me.

Don’t screw with me! You’re Shirasaka Maika! You’re my little sister!

Yukino doesn’t know the change inside Mana.

She really became a different person. The one here right now is Mana.not Maika

Hmm, then that means that you’re admitting that you’re Shirasaka Yukino?

Mana tells Yukino.

.i

Isn’t that great, Yukino-san? You’re letting the public know that you’re suitable to become a comedian!

Mana laughs.

.I see. For Mana, Yukino is one of thepastwho have abandoned her. Therefore.she’s responding cruelly. This is also another work caused by Mana’s inferiority complex.

.Unforgivable, I’ll never forgive you all

Yukino mutters in a small voice.

Her anger and hatred is probably boiling like magma inside her heart. However.with Yukino unable to admit that she’sShirasaka Yukinoin public. It’s impossible for her to release all of her negative emotions outside. She’ll only confine it inside. .That’s bad Yukino’s heart will break if this continues.

Hey.Yukino

I call out Yukino

She twitched.

You’re Shirasaka Yukino. I’m the one who forced you to wear that strange apprarance. I just forced to you against your will!

Yukino looks at me.

.Onii-chan

Mana shows aneh? face and look at me.

Just shut up!

I hold off Mana.

Then, Yukino.

I just ordered everyone to make you look stupid. It’s not you.I’m the one who forced it

Yukino’s face changed.

Yukino jumped into thelogical escapeI created.

.That’s right, it’s your fault! It’s all your fault I’ve having this horrible experiences!

Yukino turns her inner hatred at me.

She throw out all of her accumulated feelings at once.

It’s your fault! I did nothing wrong! You made me suffer this much!

Yeah.that’s fine.

With this, Yukino’s identity won’t collapse. Yukino.can protect her own personality as Shirasaka Yukino.

Unforgivable.I’ll never forgive you!

Yukino looks at me with eyes of hatred.

.This is fine. This is the right thing. Me.and Yukino

Yeah.you don’t have to

I said.

Either way.I’m going to do more horrible things on you!

Megu looks at me silently.

Yoshi-kun.you don’t have to do that. Just throw Yukino away already!

That’s right, Onii-chan.you don’t need someone like Yukino-san!

I.

Girls.If I do that then Yukino will die. Are you okay with that?

Hearing that.Yukino got startled

.i

Yukino may have high pride and is selfish but she’s not an idiot.

The current Yukino who lost her home and parent’s shield.if she’s abandoned by me. She’ll only die. Will she be erased by Cesario Viola who accepted the kill request from Shirasaka head home. Or will she be sold away by Minaho-neesan on a slums on a foreign land?

It’s fine if she dies

.Mana

You mustn’t say that

I embrace Mana’s body

Mana also embraces me. Mana’s body is slightly cold.trembling.

Mana.aren’t you myfamily?

.Yeah But, Yukino doesn’t have anyone

Yukino’s face distorts in fear.

Uhm.Misuzu-sama?

Kouzuki Subaru asks in behalf of theprince faction

They thought that the young ones should ask instead of the high pressure members. Since they’re only doing that with eye contacts.their group’s team work is amazing.

.What is it?

Misuzu answers with a cold attitude.

Isn’t it about time you tell us? Why is the daughter of Shirasaka Sousuke, the one who’s causing problems in here?

Kouzuki Subaru shows a disgusting smile.

On his back the 8 members ofprince faction shows a bossy look. Of course, Shiba Akira and the six members ofrising faction They’re waiting for Misuzu’s response curiously.

I won’t tell you people.

Misuzu said calmly

Why? I think that we have the right to know!

Kouzuki Subaru still doesn’t back down!

Right?Are you seriously saying that?

Misuzu rejects.

Ah.this pattern is Minaho-neesan’s. Misuzu’s imitating Minaho-neesan’s tone.

Because.we are.

Kouzuki Subaru falters.

We are members ofKakka’sprivate tutoring. We’re the people who will support Kouzuki group in the future!

Kouzuki Souji tells Misuzu on behalf of his brother.

Grandfather has only made you his students because your fathers asked him to. It’s a big mistake to think that you can get a key position in Kouzuki group in the future just because you’re his student Misuzu said laughing.

Much more.the fact that you’re registered in the Kouzuki group means that you’re prepared to be our vassals. As a vassal, fulfill your obligation. I don’t need vassals who insist their rights without respecting their lord Misuzu said then looked at Ruriko.

It is as Misuzu-oneesama said.I’m amazed from your behavior so far. I’m sure that grandfather thinks the same. I will ask grandfather to dismiss theprivate schoolso grandfather can spend more of his time meaningfully Please wait a moment.Ruriko-sama

At the moment Kouzuki Souji said that!

How dare vassal order one’s lord!

Reika’s sharp voice pierces theprince faction!

You bastards don’t have the attitude as a vassal! Have some shame! Shame on you!

I see.Reika’s someone who’s disciplined as a swordswoman.

She’s loud when it comes to vassal and lords.

Mumu.Reika-chan, too loud

Mao-chan on Reika’s knee is closing her ears.

Ah, sorry. I won’t shout anymore!

Reika smiles at Mao-chan.

Okay, forgiven!

Mao-chan and Reika are completely friendly.

Uhm.Misuzu-sama, may I speak?

Shiba Akira said

.You can, Akira-san

Misuzu answers.

I can understand what Misuzu-sama’s saying.however, the idea of vassal and lords is quite old-fashioned in the modern Japan?

Shiba Akira said dignified.

The business managers and employees should be on equal relationship. I think that confusing employee relationship to master-servant one is bad.

Misuzu.

Akira-san, how long have you been under grandfather’s private school?

Twice a week since two years ago with my brother.from 8 to 11 o’clock evening. I’m receiving guidance underKakkaat the head office of Kouzuki Holdings. Other than that, like today.we’re brought to sociable places and we also watch actual business within the company The sociable places must be the presentation of Konpeki school. Therefore.these guys were taken into the negotiations with the head house of Shirasaka to observe the negotiations.

Akira-san Do you think that theprivate school is meaningful?Are you not thinking that you’re just attending to an elderly’s selfishness?

No, I.I’ve been given the privilege to learn something useful every time. Each ofKakka’sstory is very stimulating, and it’s very exciting to see various fields of work. Then.Akira-san, grandfather pays you a monthly fee? .what? .Are you not paid monthly fee?

Misuzu shows a cold smile like Minaho-neesan’s

yes.in particular. No, rather.Kakkais treating us with a feast every time

Shiba Akira becomes flustered.

But, that is.Kakkais always just caring for us.that

If grandfather really cares about you then do you think that it’s natural to receive a feast?

Misuzu laughs.

Know your position before talking about equal partners. If you can’t understand what you’re talking about and who you’re talking to then close your mouth. Everyone can say a common opinion!

Misuzu’s words are harsh.

If the relationship of grandfather and your father is employee relation then grandfather will not let you in the private school. You are here because your father is grandfather’s vassal. Your father understands that. If not, then a respectable person like Shiba Okitachi-san will not let you come into grandfather’s private school Yeah.it’s not normal for it to be free.

Jii-chan is giving hisprivate schoola free service because he thinks of them as the family of his own vassals.

Grandfather is clearly distinguishing vassals from employees.

Misuzu said clearly

Besides.grandfather only considers only your fathers as his vassals. You’re children of the vassals, in reality, you’re not grandfather’s vassals. Grandfather is treating and receiving you as customers!

Misuzu’s words stunned the members of the private school.

If ever Akira-san wants to be in an equal partner employee relationship, then quit grandfather’sprivate school If Akira-san becomes an adult.and is able to gain power by himself that grandfather accepts it.then Akira-san wants to work on Kouzuki group then they may employe you. But, right now, you’re just a boy with no talent worth hiring for.

Misuzu said, Shiba Akira.

Understood, then I’ll be quitting the private school as of today. I don’t feel like entering Kouzuki group in the future.

A stir creates in theprivate schoolfrom what he said.

Are you serious.Akira-kun?

I think you shouldn’t rush up to a conclusion

Therising faction’s.Hanaoka Shinsuke and Koumori Akira speaks.

It’s fine. There’s a job I’d like to do on my own. Rather than becoming a member of a big company.I’ll start my own business and make a company move on my will

Shiba Akira said.

Is that so.then do your best

Misuzu speaks coldly.

If the company made by Akira-san profits Kouzuki group then we’ll contact you as anequal partner However, if it becomes disadvantageous to Kouzuki group then it’ll be crushed thoroughly. You don’t mind if there would be a conflict between our company and yours!

Shiba Akira is at loss from Misuzu’s strong attitude.

Akira-kun.excuse my meddling but let me tell you

Said Kouzuki Kenshi who’s on the side of therising factionthough he’s under the branch family of Kouzuki house.

Apologize to Misuzu-san and stay in theprivate school I think that it’s wonderful that you don’t want to be a vassal of someone and you desire to be the kind of the hill but, you’re currently only a child ofKakka’svassal. Your rude behavior will cause trouble to your father. !

Shiba Akira.

Father understand my feelings. Besides.father will become independent from Kouzuki group someday!

.Someday? Shiba Okitachi-san shouldn’t be able to do it right now

Kouzuki Kenshi said

Who owns the company? If it’s a corporation then it’s a shareholder. More than half of the Kouzuki group companies are held by the Kouzuki head house. In shortKakka No matter how competent your father is.he can’t be independent from the Kouzuki group Then.we’ll look for investors. A person unrelated to Kouzuki group.if there’s someone who invest in my and father’s business.

There’s nobody in Japan who’ll invest in you or your father to oppose Kouzuki house,Kakkahimself Then.we’ll look for foreign investors American and European investors are vultures. You understand it don’t you? Or could it be that you’ll look for underground resource in emerging countries? Impossible. There’s no way they would lend money to a Japanese who doesn’t have a solid ground in Japan you know?

Kouzuki Kenshi said calmly.

It’s good to have a big dream but in order to make your dream come true, you have to surrender to reality. Therefore even your father is such a talented man.he’s consenting himself to be a vassal of another My father won’t stay as a vassal forever!

That might be.someday. However, he’sKakka’svassal now. A faithful one

Kouzuki Kenshi calms down Shiba Akira.

Kakka’sa very large vessel.Mr. Shiba Okitachi has been allowed to have an ambition. Therefore, Mr. Okitachi.as a vassal, he gained power in Kouzuki group.Kakkais aiming at independence of the group and harmony. If you opposeKakkaglaring while showing an independent stance.it’s not only Kouzuki group but also the rivals will attack. Therefore.A company that’s independent and doesn’t have strength is just crushed in a moment. For your father to succeed independently.he has to maintain a friendly relationship withKakkaand the Kouzuki group!

Are you saying that I should just give up being Kouzuki house’s vassal?

Misuzu.

I don’t wish for you to be a vassal from the bottom of your heart. It’s your freedom what to think from the bottom of your heart. However.a human who can’t do a correct attitude as a vassal despite being one even on surface are just incompetent. We don’t need that kind of people.we’ll kick you out of Kouzuki group Shiba Akira glares at Misuzu.

You’ve been speaking so bossy since earlier but Misuzu-sama’s notKakka! You’re justKakka’sgranddaughter! You have no right to be telling us this!

Certainly.that’s true but.

You don’t understand? Ruriko-san and I are being tested by grandfather right now!

Misuzu answers.

Grandfather is listening to our discussion and laughing on the other room. Grandfather is testing if you are suitable people as vassals. And Ruriko-san and I are also being tested whether or not we’re qualified as the head and the one who’ll be on the side of the head of Kouzuki family Ruriko nods at Misuzu’s words.

That’s right.Kouzuki house, Kouzuki group has a lot of people. We must protect the lives of those people. From those direct vassal.to those who signed an employment contract.in addition, the people who buy products and services of Kouzuki group, all the business partners.we must meet the expectations of all Therefore.I think that we should treat our people and vassal with a strong attitude. If you spoil your vassal the whole house will fall

The two girls look down on the eliteprivate school.

Therefore.you should all decide your own position now

Misuzu said

You’re not with grandfather.you all are on the same generation as us. If you really plan to participate in Kouzuki group’s future.then become our vassals

Ruriko also speaks.

That’s right.those who don’t want to show manners of a vassal to us then you can leave from here now. Onee-sama and I are the successors of Kouzuki house. If you can’t accept it then you’ll be evicted from the house!

The students stopped breathing.

Faster than anyone.Kouzuki Kenshi kneels

.I recognize the two as my lord

Then, he turned to his allies.the members ofrising faction

What about you guys?

The young men look at each other.

I submit myself

Kawafuji Akishi of therising factionis the one to kneel next.

I feel glad that the future heads of Kouzuki house will be this bright and strong willed.

me too! Same!

The members ofrising factionbecomes Misuzu and Ruriko’s vassal one after another

Shiba Akira remains.

i won’t!

Shiba Akira said

I’m no one’s vassal. I am the captain of my ship! Father surely understands my feelings!

Akira-kun! Show manners as a vassal even if just in formalities! You’ll regret it if you don’t!

Kouzuki Kenshi said, Akira.

I won’t regret! I hate things I hate!

Misuzu.

Is that so.then, please do your best alone

Goodbye, Akira-san

Ruriko also said expressionlessly.

What about you people?

Misuzu looks at Kouzuki Souji’sprince faction

we.that

Kouzuki Souji becomes evasive.

Kouzuki Souji who’s the closest to the head in the branch family, is a man who’s giving out incomprehensible reasons arrogantly. If he gives in to Misuzu and Ruriko.then he’ll lose his position. The faction calledprince factionwill lose it’s existential meaning It’s because they’re prince that’s born from the lineage of Kouzuki family Once they acknowledge that they’re a vassal.then the prince will be nothing. However. If they’re expelled from Kouzuki house because Misuzu and Ruriko were angered. Then they won’t have anything left.

What should we do, Souji-sama!

Souji-sama!

The members who’s grouping to raise Kouzuki Souji’s flag asks him.

i.

.Then

That’s enough. You must not settle everything in one go, Misuzu, Ruriko

I hear Jii-chan’s voice from a speaker.

1. This is the time where I should be changing the name because the author provided a Katakana reading of the name, it should actually be Kijima Kuro, but fuck it, it’s just a comedic name anyway

2. Yeah, that Sayou degozaimasu

Chapter 269

Chapter 269 : Jii-chan’s grading

268 : Vassal’s manners

.Do you understand why a corporation made from an old house like Kouzuki is much stronger than companies that are just starting up?

Jii-chan’s voice coming out from the speaker asks.

A long lasting name are special existences. They have connection with other famous houses.and have power as well. For over a hundred years, Kouzuki has contributed progress to the nation named Japan. On surface and on the other side as well. The Japanese nor the US can no longer crush the Kouzuki family. If Kouzuki house declares that they’ll shoulder the political and economic activities.then the country will be overthrown. A house nobody can harm.that is Kouzuki house. Just being a company dealing with the Kouzuki house, you can get absolute trust in the business world That is a noble family

Well.I have been steering the Kouzuki group for many years. The activities of Kouzuki house is wide!

Misuzu and Ruriko.Kouzuki Souji and theprince faction.Shiba Akira, Kouzuki Kenshi and therising factionare seriously listening to Jii-chan’s voice.

There’s two large flows divided into two.that is to protect thehouse.and to develop thehouse

To protect and to develop.

Without the will to protect, the tradition and the pride as an old family will be lost in the course of time. Everything will be trampled by the rising power. However.if only you keep protecting, the weakening can’t be stopped. To maintain status quo, the house will be exposed to the flow of time and will be ruined. At the moment it stopped growing, it’ll die. People.house.even companies Jii-chan’s words have weight in them.

Therefore.we must constantly change and grow our house to maintain what we protect. This is originally a contradiction. However, it can coexist.no, they have to unless the house will perish

The voice in the speaker laughs.

Then, what to do?It’s easy. I divided the company into two. A company that emphasizes on protecting and a company that focuses on developing

Misuzu looks at the students in surprise.

Prince factionand theRising faction.

Misuzu, Ruriko.from your perspective, you can only see my students as foolish people. Acquaintance since teenage.it’s good to have people who know each other’s nature. The two groups are divided now but they’ll mix together after a while. Those who fight are more likely to get along Jii-chan.are you managing your students on a long-term perspective?

First.Kouzuki Souji

yes!

Jii-chan called his name.Kouzuki Souji answers nervously

You’re suited to protect

me? Yes, however.you’re not suited in financial affairs. You don’t have the sensibility to quickly judge and deal with a new situation one after another .yes However.what you can do is to protect what’s now and convey it to the next generation

Jii-chan said.

You don’t have the talent to stand on top of Kouzuki family. However, it’s possible for you to come on top five. That’s your limit

.I!

Kouzuki Souji’s shocked as Jii-chan said it clearly.

No.you have united your group well. I recognize that power. Perhaps.your group’s unity won’t change even 20, 30 years later. It’s an important foundation for Kouzuki group

True.these guys have an amazing teamwork.

However, your unity is too inward oriented. Furthermore, you don’t accept someone from the outside. For now, I can entrust leaving the job of protecting to you all

Jii-chan’s eyes moved from Kouzuki Souji to the other members ofPrince faction.

Kouzuki Satoshi, Natsuki Makoto.why did you make Souji your leader? Why aren’t you taking the initiative to become the leader?

that’s. We put our trust in Souji-sama’s talent

Kouzuki Satoshi falters and Natsuki Makoto responded clearly.

That’s a lie. You just wanted to take it easy. You’d rather become the number two and three than becoming the leader, exposed to heavy exposure

.No, that’s That’s not true. Souji-sama’s lineage is superior than mine! If you comment about lineage then blindly worship Ruriko. Ruriko’s the direct lineage of Kouzuki!

Jii-chan strictly questions.

That is.

Souji who has a somewhat good blood took the initiative of becoming a leader. Then, those who serve have it easy.as a matter of fact, that’s what you’re thinking right? No, we never had such thought! We really do believe in Souji-sama’s wonderfulness! Souji-sama is a great man that would last a hundred years

Natsuki Makoto still hangs on.

Kata Takashi, Torada Chitoku, Koku Rakujin, Tsunoda Fumikazu, Oohari Ryou.and Kouzuki Subaru. Are you on the same page?

Jii-chan asks the other members.

yes.it is as Natsuki said

I believe in Souji-sama .Same No, really.he’s a great man that would last a hundred years. That’s what I seriously think Yes.I’m sure Onii-sama’s wonderful. Even I can’t reach his feet

Jii-chan.

I see.it seems that I’ve educated you badly

.Then

Hey, you guys.if Souji’s a talent of a hundred years, then what am I?

.Ha?

Prince factionopens their mouthj widely

I’m asking how many years my talent would last!

that’s.that it’s around a thousand years? No, if you look atKakka’sachievements, it’ll be ten thousand years More. He can’t be compared to anyone else!

Jii-chan sighs

Light.you people are so easy!

Yeah.I think so too

I’m nothing but an ordinary man. Souji’s the same

but.Kakka .You don’t know what a real genius is!

Jii-chan said.

A talented person in ten years is just a dime a dozen. I have encountered people with a talent lasting a thousand years. A real genius comes out only every thousand years and I know someone who’ll last ten thousand!

The head of Kouzuki family, Jii-chan who had lived for decades.had exchange with such people.

Know what’s real. And be more humble. If you realize how ordinary human, a stone on the side of the road.your view of the world changes

I am a stone?

Kouzuki Souji mutters.

Yes, a stone. Furthermore, a stone that causes quite a trouble You’re not round, only having sharp edges.that’s what kind of a stone you are!

Jii-chan’s voice is laughing as he speak harshly.

Nevertheless, this person has a lot of affection to his students.

Am I that incompetent

Kouzuki Souji’s shocked.

Souji.do you know John Jacobs, the president of American x company?

.He’s the one called the god of financial company That’s right. I’ve met him multiple times. Can you defeat Jacobs in financial investment? No way.the opponent is a God! There’s no way I could beat him!

Jii-chan snorts,

Right now, I have 2 wins and 8 loses. Though I’ve lost a lot, the wound’s small. If he didn’t think of Japan’s Kouzui as a tough opponent.the entire Japan would’ve been devoured by him

Not only theprince factionbut also therising factionare listening to Jii-chan’s words seriously.

Listen.being involved in Kouzuki house’s management means that you’ll continue fighting on the same field as the ferocious genius like Jacobs. Furthermore.the fights aren’t fair. Often, you must compete on under their rules, their judgement. Sometimes, they lose strategically. What’s important is to show that there’s an extraordinary fighting spirit and Kouzuki never intends to be ruled by them. If you show a chance, if you know that the opponent would come for your throat then they won’t attack carelessly.

The room quiets down.

Having both the financial power and ability more than oneself.you must continue your fighting pose against those who are tied to state power. There’s a lot of people who owns intelligence similar to Jacobs. Investors, corporate managers, politicians.and even scammers. Just because they’re more capable than I am, I never allow myself to run away from a fight. Kouzuki group is behind my back.and behind them is the nation called Japan!

Jii-chan said.

Souji, the others as well.you have decent ability. You’ve got the lineage. You’ve got connections. And that may certainly be your power. However.that were just power just given to you by chance.it’s not a power you have gained yourselves. And yet.what are you doing looking down on people not luckier than yourselves?

That’s right.these guys only look down.

Even though they think that people more powerful than themselves are unbeatable from the start. They don’t even feel like fighting.

There are a number of people who have much more terrific ability, blood, and even connections that you. And those people.even they show wanting to have allegiance, those vultures won’t overlook you Jii-chan’s words made the students tremble.

It’s likely the first time they became conscious the fear of standing in the center of a company.

Even I had an inferior ability, I desperately bit into him.the people you’re looking down too will desperately peel their fangs on you. This world isn’t a simple survival of the fittest. The weak risk their life to beat the strong people that is a daily experience in real business world Jii-chan said calmly

Become more humble. On people inferior, and to those who are superior to yourselves.you must pay careful attention equally. We’re ordinary people. You should keep it in mind at all times. If you underestimate your opponent, they’ll bite at your back horribly Jii-chan’s gaze shifts to Shiba Akira now.

Now then.Shiba Akira

.Yes I praise that you have the ambition but life is finite .What does that mean? For example, if I want to start a new business.I can do it tomorrow. I have the funds.I also can gather the necessary personnel. I can head hunt for competent people. If you think the country’s regulations are severe then I also know who to speak in the government. I can even formulate a new law and have it resolve in the national assembly! .Yes I don’t know what kind of corporate plan you have right now but how many years do you think will it take to realize that? Even if you were fortunate enough to go through.it’ll take 15 years to establish the company. If unlucky, then it won’t happen even after 30 years. No.in the face of success, there’s a possibility of you losing everything by someone pulling your feet .But, I

Shiba Akira doesn’t bend his will of independence.

For what purpose do you want to achieve this plan?

.purpose? If you simply want to succeed as an entrepreneur only in pursuit of romance, then I will not stop it. Do it on your own. There’s no need for me to take care of that

Jii-chan said.

However.if I find a social significance in your plan and want to make it happen by all means.then I think that you should use everything you can

Use? Yes.if you really want to achieve it then shouldn’t you think of using every method possible to realize it as soon as possible? .That is? Oh well.you still have time before debuting in the society. For now, stay as my student. And, try to look for anything that can be used from me with your own eyes. Ask me a question if you want.if I feel that your proposal is valid then you can use anything Kakka!

Shiba Akira is amazed.

It’s the same for the others. Hanaoka Shinsuke, Koumori Akira, Kawafuji AKishi, Kouzuki Kenshi, Takagi Fuuta, and the one not here, Shiba Takahiko. Except for Kouzuki Kenshi, you don’t know the tradition of Kouzuki family You won’t be able to defend it. I know that you are only interested in development. Therefore, let me tell you If you have a plan of some sort then show it to me before the classes are over. If it’s a good plan then I’ll cooperate towards realization of it. First, a plan. If I can see a plan then I can see how serious you are and how you think about the world. I’ll just burn down any spoiled plan, an underestimating plan, a irresponsible plan. You must be prepared to be evaluated when you bring your plan. Is that understood.

yes.

The members ofrising factionanswered all at once.

Shiba Akira hasn’t responded yet.

Akira-kun.we’re still no match againstKakka Let us have him guide us. There’s still a lot to learn

Kouzuki Kenshi tells Shiba Akira.

Yes, you’re right.Kenshi-san. KakkaI’m sorry for saying rude things. Please let me study underKakkafor a while longer!

Shiba Akira submits to Jii-chan.

Then, lastly.Misuzu, Ruriko

Jii-chan speaks to his two granddaughters.

Don’t abandon people that easily. You should value relationships of people. If you cast away the current talents, you may be able to find better ones. However.what if you didn’t come across such talent? It’s common that only people with poor abilities and don’t have perseverance are the ones employed .Grandfather

Misuzu shows a pained look

Don’t make that face. What’s important is the right person in the right place. Always think about the people with talent. How can you use that resource well. Most of the human resources fit together like puzzle pieces Understood, grandfather

I also was thoughtless

Misuzu and Ruriko apologizes to their grandfather.

Don’t mind it. You two can fail even more at the current moment

Jii-chan’s voice was kind.

Let me tell you all my students. The future of Kouzuki house will be centered on Ruriko and Misuzu. Kouzuki house can’t escape from the lineage. Ruriko will be the successor and Misuzu will support. I want you all to help them by all means. That is a request from me. I’m counting on you Kouzuki Souji

Please wait.then.who will be Rurko-sama’s partner?

Kouzuki Souji and others think that the man who’ll be Ruriko’s husband would be the head of Kouzuki family.

Who knows.for the time being, Ruriko won’t marry to anyone from you people

Jii-chan said.

If someone among you becomes Ruriko’s husband.Kouzuki house will be split. It’ll never do good. Ruriko’s husband is for her to decide. Then.That person will not be involved with Kouzuki house’s administration .that’s

I have made such decision on Misuzu’s partner. The person himself and Misuzu also consented. Then, Ruriko won’t mind having the same rule apply to her. If they know that they can’t become the head of Kouzuki family even if they become Ruriko’s husband.the suitors aiming for fortune will be gone Then.who’ll be the head of Kouzuki house?

Kouzuki Souji asks.Jii-chan

I don’t mind if it’s either Ruriko or Misuzu. These children have the ability to become the head of the house. That’s what I have judged.

However.both of them are women! In the long history of Kouzuki house.there were some women who became heads. Besides, it’s the 21st century now. It’s the era where it doesn’t need to be a man to become a leader, right?

Jii-chan said clearly.

With that said.gentlemen, I would like you to serve the two from now on

The students look at each other.

No, I think it’s a good idea. I think that a female head is acceptable in the future generation. Above all, the successor dispute on the current Kouzuki wife will disappear.I think it’s amazing

Kouzuki Kenshi said

True, it would be appreciated if there will be none who aim to become Ruriko and Misuzu’s husband.

is that so.I can’t become a marriage partner?

Kouzuki Souji who’s convinced that he’ll be Ruriko’s husband has received quite a shock.

Yes.you’re our vassal. You heard that?

Misuzu tells the students showing a powerful eye.

Yes.I vow to be under Ruriko-sama and Misuzu-sama

Kouzuki Kenshi speaks as representative.

What about you gentlemen?

Therising factionnodded

True.if the ladies are on the top, the unity of the group will increase

Shiba Akira seems to be convinced.

You all.don’t mind it do you?

Kouzuki Kenshi.asks his relatives, Kouzuki Satoshi and Natsuki Makoto, and theprince faction

Well.true, it seems that Souji-sama marrying with Ruriko-sama isn’t a very good plan

Kata admits lose easily

Hey, Kata.you bastard!

Kouzuki Souji glares but.

There’s no other choice now that it has come to this. Kakka’swill has been made clear. As a family that has sworn allegiance to Kouzuki family, there’s no other choice but to support Ruriko-sama and Misuzu-sama Oohari Ryou said

The families of the old fashioned vassals are more likely to accept than the branch families of Kouzuki house.

Please wait.if Souji-nii won’t marry Ruriko-sama, then.is it possible that for me to be the husband?

Kouzuki Satoshi tries to say that but.

No way

Ruriko answered with a smile.

Eh.not at all?

Yes Even on an atomic level? Never with Satoshi-san

Satoshi fell deppressed.

What about me?

Kouzuki Subaru tries to nominate himself with a smile but.

Subaru-san is even worse than Satoshi-san!

Ruriko rejects with a smile.

Chapter 270

Chapter 270 : The media industry

Satoshi-san.even if you were in a branch family, you still hold the family name of Kouzuki

Misuzu said

Your reputation is going to be related to Kouzuki house. Please be careful not to do anything ludicrous

Then, Misuzu looked at the other members ofprince faction

Everyone else is the same. More than a vassal, everyone’s our relatives. Everyone, please think that you’re always carrying the name of Kouzuki house. Ruriko and I won’t forsake you anymore. However.please understand that if you have done something to hurt the name of our house, you’ll be given a severe punishment .What severe punishment?

Kouzuki Subaru asks

.We’ll have you killed

It’s not Misuzu but Reika who said that.

Eh?The students face show.

That is why Kouzuki security service is here

weren’t it your job to protect us?

Kouzuki Satoshi screams at Reika

Our top priority is to protect Kouzuki house. Even if you have a blood of Kouzuki, a child of a vassal, if you’re someone who don’t benefit the house.you’ll disappear

Reika smiles.

With that said.Satoshi-san, please keep a distinct relationship with women

Misuzu said

Souji-san.please supervise them. By all means please

Misuzu orders mainly Kouzuki Souji

Souji can no longer do anything but admit that he’s a vassal.

Understood.I will oversee my group so they won’t do any carelessness

Of course.if it’s a normal romance then you can do as you please. However, if you play with girls and hurt them.and caused some shameful scandal.you already know what will happen, don’t you?

At that time, they even won’t be allowed to be banished from Kouzuki house.

.Misuzu’s saying that they’re dead

.Misuzu, you finally understood it. The head must never abandon his blood and vassals. If you just kicked out the dishonor from the house then he’ll still carry the name of Kouzuki in public. With relatives of course.even the children of the old vassals, their misconduct will be Kouzuki house’s responsibility. The person who can correct it by all means and erase it at will is the lord’s work. For example, I have punished vassals and even relatives for making false charges Jii-chan said.

Gentlement.if possible, I don’t want Misuzu and Ruriko to have such painful experience. I want you to protect the name of the family

CertainlyKakka! By your orders! I’ll bear it in mind

In theprince factionOohari Ryou, Koku Rakujin, and Torada Chitoku who has strong loyalty replied first.

.Sacrifices can’t be stopped in order to protect the house

Kata Takashi accepts the role given as well.

Understood.I will supervise Satoshi-san and Tsunoda

Natsuki Makoto said.

Tsunoda shows ageh!face

I know guys that you hang out on a delinquent’s party. The organizer there is familiar with Yakuza. You do know that

But, we were just guests

Tsunoda tries to make an excuse but.

You guys offered funds to the party, right?

Natsuki Makoto said.

Is that true, Satoshi, Tsunoda?

Kouzuki Souji.questions the two.

No you see.hey, Tsunoda!

It’s said that sponsoring makes you popular with women We’ve made various countermeasures too.

The two becomes incoherent.

That’s how they do it.making themselves surrounded

Jii-chan said.

.Aren’t they covering it as a party and do illegal acts such as buying and selling illegal drugs and prostitution on the back?

Kata predicts.

No way they’re that horrible!

Because, if that’s what happened.then we would get caught too

Ah, these two are idiots.

Because they think they’re lucky and a special person. They don’t notice that they’re being used by bad guys.

Either way, if people of Kouzuki house participates such a doubtful party.much more sponsored by them, it’ll never be allowed

Kouzuki Souji’s idea is thorough maintenance.

He can’t overlook anything that could hurt the name of the family

Buy.you see.Souji-san

Uhm.this really is dangerous Those guys aren’t normal!

What, Kouzuki Satoshi and Tsunoda recognizes the danger of the other party.

Yet they’re already in it. No, they were pinned by the bad guys

.Fujimiya-kun

Jii-chan said

Yes, please leave it to me

Reika answers

We’ll be contacting thespecial division

So there’s that kind of division.

I think that some of your friends will be travelling to a distant place so.the two of you must not make contact with them!

Reika looks at Satoshi and Tsunoda with cold eyes.

If you contact the target before thespecial divisionmakes a move.the two of you will be accomplices and will have to go to a far away place

.Reika-chan, a far away place?

Mao-chan asks with a smile.

It’s a very warm place where flowers are blooming!

Uwaa, it’s like heaven!

Satoshi and Tsunoda feel horrified.

They’re going that far to protect thehouse

Shiba Akira mutters

That’s obvious.when you’re a long lasting family, the branches will also increase. There’s a lot of vassals. If so, there will be those who keep bad company or voluntarily becoming members of criminal organizations. If you don’t have a thorough defense system, you’ll just be eaten Jii-chan said

Kouzuki house is a leading family in Japan. It’s not like the upstart Shirasaka family

That’s right.Shirasaka house.

A bad guy like Shirasaka Sousuke was allowed to come out of their house. On the contrary, even after Shirasaka Sousuke’s deeds were exposed to the public. The head, Shirasaka Moritsugu.was trying to protect Shirasaka Sousuke on a TV interview. When it didn’t go well, he’s now asking a criminal organization to eliminate him. If it was Jii-chan who have united the house for many years.it’ll never be able to pass through thedefense system Kouzuki house has a special department in Kouzuki security service that eliminates internal stains. If you ask an outsider organization.you’ll only give a blackmail material to them.

Pardon the lip service.this is to protect the house. If you are going to establish a company, it is the same. A company is a house. You have a family called employees

Jii-chan talks to therising factionthis time

If your business succeed.no, even if you don’t succeed, as long as they think they can make money from you.scoundrels will approach. They’re sensitive to the smell of money. Always watch your surroundings carefully and make sure you have some countermeasures or else you’ll be devoured in one go The members ofrising factionbecomes silent.

Up until now I’ve taught you the front side of corporate management.from now on, it’ll be the other side. Power that can only be competed by power. There’s a lot of criminal organizations connected with politicians and police. Then, you must have influence over the government. There’s no fair fights. We are always in a world of survival!

.Survival

From the book I read recently.there was a certain educational critic that said Children shouldn’t be educated to compete for survival.I would like to despise that critic. Humans need to survive as long as they live. If you want to survive and protect the happiness of yourself and your family.then you must not lose the will to continue fighting. Once you lose it.you’ll be taken down anytime. The children should be taught the skills to survive Jii-chan said.

Of course.it’s not only people. A company, a house as well.there’s a need for survival

In order to fight criminals, Kouzuki Security service is organized by them.

Kouzuki Satoshi, Tsunoda Fumikazu.don’t worry. Your concerns will be erased cleanly. You guys are my students after all!

Jii-chan made the two shudder.

From now on.these two will never act carelessly. If some other bad guy comes closer. Kouzuki Souji and Natsuki Makoto are being monitored. In case it’s a bad guy.Kouzuki Security Service will repel them. This way, Kouzuki house is protected. Even if a careless person among the blood relatives appear, it won’t become a serious situation.

Now then.there’s one program I have prepared for you all

Jii-chan said

You may already know but we will be holding a meeting with the people of Shirasaka house. Is there anyone familiar with Shirasaka Hiromitsu?

Jii-chan starts his lecture.

It seems he’ll be showing us the usual state of the students

I’ve heard that he’s not in the main faction of Shirasaka house

Koumori Akira from therising factionreplied

That’s right.he’s the representative director on Osaka TV station

.Osaka?

Japanese media industry has an interesting history you see.originally, there’s a lot of cases founded in Osaka became nationwide scale and opened a headquarters in Tokyo. In Shirasaka house’s case, it’s even more complicated. Shirasaka house founded a newspaper company in Tokyo.bought small newspaper companies in each region and accomplished nationwide development. In case of Osaka, they have acquired local newspaper companies. The only sports newspaper selling in Osaka still have the name of their newspaper remaining Right.

I haven’t been to Osaka so I don’t know though

Furthermore.when it came to TV business, they first made a TV station in Osaka and invested in there. Shirasaka house can’t afford to stand in TV business alone. After six years in Osaka station, they made a a series of TV stations in Tokyo. It is a hundred percent subsidiary of Shirasaka house’s newspaper company.do you know what that means?

Jii-chan asks.

Unlike Tokyo’s TV and newspaper companies.Shirasaka house’s control on Osaka station is weak?

Again, fromRising faction Hanaoka Shinsuke answers.

Yeah.the people on this group have a business sense.

That’s how it is. Shirasaka house’s share is less than 30% in the TV station on Osaka. The rest are local company’s stocks. Therefore, though it’s an affiliate.it’s not completely dominated by Shirasaka house. Especially the news program refuses transmitting from Tokyo station, they’re making their own in Osaka. They’re not able to report in line with the intention of Shirasaka house.

I see, so that’s how it is

The current head of Shirasaka house, Mr. Shirasaka Moritsugu hates that situation have been intending to turn the Osaka station to a wholly owned subsidiary many times so far. However, all of the local companies rejected that he received backlash. Osaka hates to have the information sent to Tokyo be on grasp Jii-chan said.

Shirasaka house’s baseball team too.they’re not popular on Osaka only

However.isn’t Shirasaka Hiromitsu, the representative of Osaka station a member of the family?

Shiba Akira asks.

Shirasaka Hiromitsu is a collateral family from Shirasaka house. His parents moved in Osaka and his father worked in the newspaper company in Osaka. Horimitsu himself have been working since the creation of the TV station. He may have a name of Shirasaka but he has been raised in Osaka for his lifetime That person will becoming to negotiate tonight?

The current Shirasaka house’s newspaper and television network.has in intense confrontation in Tokyo head office and the provinces. It’s no longer an age where you can increase the viewers by the popularity of the newspaper’s baseball team Is it that serious?

Kata asks.

Yes.they’re pushing the bills to the provinces that’s not able to cope with the change of times

.Pushing?

The newspaper and TV stations.just a news agency has too many things to do. A series of publishers and recording companies now also buy up shares on a major talent office.if this happens, they can’t manage it anymore Jii-chan snorts his nose.

To sell the artist belonging to a recording company.it takes up the music program of the own station. To make the publisher gain profit.they dramatize the story of that company. In order not to lower the stock price of the talent investment.they aggressively appoint a talent. Everything is just selfish convenience for the Tokyo office .I see

Finally.they make movies that don’t sell. This is a massive bulldozing to all of the affiliates. The publisher’s original work will be pushed, the talent office forces the actor to appear and the theme song will be sold to an affiliate company. Advertisement, TV stations, newspaper companies, radio, publishers, all of the affiliated companies. And.the affiliate company buys a lot of movie tickets. Though there’s profit.there’s no actual customers. Using all the bills to take part in advertising, then come to the local affiliate to force them to buy tickets Oh.it’s that kind of system.

15 years ago, when it still made sense.the ordinary people could only receive information from the TV, radio, newspaper and magazines. If you fuel then.the customers will come in. It was able to produce fashion trends and booms. It was easy to suppress major media and not write criticism articles Oh.there was no internet back then

Kouzuki Subaru mutters.

That’s right.now, interesting or not, it’s conveyed immediately. No matter how stealthy the propaganda you made.it can’t change the public opinion. The sensibility of Japanese people are sharp. They can easily find out what’s real or fake Everyone nods at Jii-chan’s explanation.

As a result.during the past decade, the media has greatly reduced influence on the public. Nowadays, it doesn’t boom as much as before if media pours in fuel. If the publicity effect is small then the sponsors will also decrease. In spite of that, the media companies in Tokyo can’t forget the old days. There was an era when if you set fire in the television, it explodes!

I see.

I’m still a kid so I don’t know things on the old days but.

The current media companies had become organizations that only sell their products to the viewers in partnership of advertising agencies. Instead of sending information.they’re just a merchant. As a result that made TV and newspapers avoided by the commoners Yeah. I don’t watch TV so I won’t get be troubled.

I can live without knowing singers or talents.

The Tokyo office is currently unable to take any effective measures.the local affiliates are even worse. Since the recession in the rural areas are more severe, the sponsors also decrease.owing various bills from Tokyo. And yet.they’re forced to broadcast only the contents from the Tokyo office.on top of that, they’re not allowed to report their own opinions That’s the confrontation of Tokyo and the provinces.

Shirasaka Hiromitsu’s TV staion in Osaka isn’t a wholly owned affiliate so they can do their own broadcast without following the intention of Shirasaka house in Tokyo. Because there’s a separate sponsor company in Kansai, Tokyo can only complain. As there’s an affiliate in each region, there’s only one that can compete with Tokyo office That person’s coming here.

My aim is to dismantle the news network in Tokyo that’s controlled by the Shirasaka house. The other news organization will be spreading based on the current situation. Then, I want to reorganize the Japanese media Jii-chan said.

.Onii-chan

Mana comes to me.

Hm.what’s wrong?

Mana takes my hand.

She puts it on her own ass. A naked butt not wearing any panties.

.Touch me

.Mana?

.I’m scared

.I see

Mana’s also a daughter of Shirasaka house. With the talk of her own clan collapsing. Mana’s afraid.

.Yeah, Mana

I pinched Mana’s ass tightly.

Ahn.it hurts

Mana whispers in my ears.

Sorry.it just feels very good

This time, I knead her ass gently.

Un.please be kind. I.

Mana’s eyes are becoming wet

.I’m Onii-chan’swoman

Yeah, you’re my Mana. Don’t worry .Un

Having her ass massaged.Mana feels relieved

Mana is Onii-chan’ssex slave I will devote my whole life to you.

Even if you don’t say that.I’ll take care of you

I embrace Mana’s waist

Un.Onii-chan.my Onii-chan

The students are so absorbed in Jii-chan’s talk that they don’t notice our situation.

In a sense.I think they’re very serious people Ah, Jii-chan said that he let five people go home. Then this means. Even a frivolous person like Kouzuki Satoshi and Tsunoda have a point worthy.That’s what Jii-chan thinks. Un.I understand now, don’t judge too easily. It’s not just the bad points.but also the good points.

.Geez, what are you two doing!

Nei-san comes close.

.Onii-chan’s teasing my ass!

Mana answers witha red face.

Is that so?You’re spoiled!

Nei-san smiles.

But, please keep it moderate.everyone’s staring at Mana-chan!

.Eh?

Looking around. Megu’s looking at us with a scary face. Misuzu’s also showing a cold look.

Mana.everyone’s watching so it’s about time

I tell Mana.

Eh, isn’t that fine! Let’s show it off!

The small devil smiles.

.Mana’s happy you know

Chapter 271

Then.Shirasaka Hiromitsu will be coming to negotiate?

Kouzuki Souji asks Jii-chan.

The situation isn’t that simple.with the blunder in the press conference broadcast of the head of Shirasaka house, Shirasaka Moritsugu, the local affiliates have a sense of crisis. Who will trust a news broadcasting organization that has it’s head protecting a relative that’s a criminal? The key stations in Tokyo and the headquarters for the newspaper company are of course flooded with calls and emails from the protesters.

I see, the local people protests on local branch offices.local TV and radio stations.

Furthermore, Shirasaka house’s newspaper company and television stations has a lot of affiliated companies, foundations, and research institutes. With that said, the ripples of the scandal has began to spread even to those not directly related to the press Shirasaka Sousuke, is a member of Shirasaka house but.

The person himself is an employee of an advertising agency, not a person on Shirasaka house’s enterprise. If the business is blown with protest calls in response to the scandal caused by some guy, or if their company were boycotted.then the affiliate company won’t endure it.

Now that it had come to this.if it was a normal company then Shirasaka Moritsugu would just retire. After all, he defended the criminal himself and had gone to a press interview to hide the fact of the crime. However.Shirasaka house, is managed by only a single man, Shirasaka Moritsugu for 25 years. Shirasaka Moritsugu will never accept retiring for such a trivial thing However.if Shirasaka Moritsugu won’t resign, the protests against Shirasaka house’s affiliates won’t end, would they?

Kouzuki Kenshi asks.

Therefore.Shirasaka Miromitsu from Osaka who’s independent from the Tokyo office, centered on the local television stations and newspaper was nominated. Hiromitsu may be an affiliate but is also a member of Shirasaka house.I know who to join hands in the main house in order to drag down Shirasaka Moritsugu A screen comes down on the wall of the room.

This room is originally made as a wedding hall. This screen is intended to reflect images at the wedding reception. On the white screen.first, a person is projected.

First, this is Shirasaka Hiromitsu

Yeah.it’s a bald glassed old man past his 60s.

His mouth is smiling. Somehow, he has that schemer atmosphere. Then the image changed.now it’s an old lady past 60s. Somehow, her mouth is big.

Next, Shirasaka Ayako. She’s Tokyo’s Shirasaka head house’s.let’s see, she’s on the number six. She’s an executive director in Shirasaka Holdings. The head of Shirasaka international political research institute, president of Shirasaka Peace foundation, board chair on Japan and Asian children dance circle.well, she’s the group’s boss on those opposing against Shirasaka Moritsugu In addition, another image.

It’s a fat man over his 40s with perm.

Shirasaka Fukushi, Ayako’s son. He’s currently the head of cultural department on the newspaper head office.though he hasn’t done anything noticeable, Mrs. Ayako brought him here. Well, as someone who knows the internal affairs in the newspaper company, it’s a good selection Then.a small old man.

Lastly, Yamada Hisashi. He’s one of the vice presidents on the newspaper company. Though he’s someone who stands by Shirasaka Moritsugu’s side, he was persuaded with Shirasaka Hiromitsu and decided to participate in the downfall plan. He’s supposed to suppress the middle class who begin to abandon Shirasaka Moritsugu I see.there’s a coup prepared inside the Shirasaka house.

Tonight, these four people will be talking with us in the table of negotiations. They seek support for their plan from us

Jii-chan explained to his students.

Actually, it’s a bit different. They’re actually coming to make a deal with Minaho-neesan. As long as Minaho-neesan keeps leaking out information about Shirasaka Sousuke’s wrongdoings. The flames of this scandal will never end. On the contrary, Minaho-neesan still holds a lot offire They are afraid of that spill. Though the head, Shirasaka Moritsugu’s policy is toresist to the bitter end.if they do that, there would be an enormous damage given to the entire group of company. The local and affiliated companies are hoping for an immediateextinguishment Therefore.they mustmake an agreementwith Minaho-neesan. Jii-chan not telling his student means that. He doesn’t want to tell them about the underground organizationKuromoriand Kuromori Minaho.

What advantages would it give to Kouzuki house if we give them support?

Shiba Akira asks

Rather than being a merit to Kouzuki family.it is a matter of national interest

Jii-chan answers.

After the scandal created by Shirasaka Sousuke is revealed.Shirasaka house’s related company shares have been dropping across the board. There’s information of foreign investors targeting the stocks that have become cheaper However.if foreigners buy shares of Japanese media.I think that they’ll receive a strong opposition

Kata said.

They can just ask a Japanese representative with an investment fund. They’re fine as long as they can control even indirectly. However, it’s not good for foreigners to hold control of Japan’s media outlets. They can just give arbitrary reports that’s convenient to them I see.if the one moving from behind the scenes are American investors, they’re just vultures for gold swarming together.in case of people in other countries, they’ll use it for political purposes.

Kouzuki Kenshi explained.

For the time being.in return for our aid, Shirasaka house will give out shares they have. We won’t be able to take all away but we’ll suppress around 30% of them. If so, we can send an executive officer. If Shirasaka Moritsugu loses power, the next top of the television and newspaper station won’t be Shirasaka family anymore. If Shirasaka house just does a baton pass on another Shirasaka.the public won’t be satisfied. With the new representative we will send.we’ll be wiping out the Shirasaka house’s influence from within In short.Shirasaka household can no longer touch the management?

Kouzuki Souji speaks in surprise.

Yes.we’ll have them accept the position as one of the major shareholders on the newspaper and television company. Of course.even if someone from Shirasaka family is a competent man gains a position, he’ll never take the top. In the first place, a situation of a single house taking a huge news enterprise group is abnormal. We will correct that with this opportunity Jii-chan said.

While at it.we will also arrange the affiliate companies. We’ll let all companies that can be independent do it.we’ll make newspaper and television only do business as a news organization. I won’t let them do any other foolish business Jii-chan intends to completely disassemble the Shirasaka house’s group of company.

Well, true.it’s strange that a newspaper and television station operate under record and entertainment companies.

It’s past eight in the evening. We’re a bit late in the schedule but.Shiraska Hiromitsu should be arriving soon

Miss Cordelia who’s together with the white Viola’s promised not to attack until 8PM when they came to the theater.

It’s already past that time. Did they keep their word? No, the enemy might’ve already infiltrated close to us. They might even waiting the signal for combat. Actually, I can’t see anything.

Well, the colleagues I have called in were also delayed in arrival.

Right

Jii-chan called the parents of the students for negotiation. And someone among them. Is doubted as a traitor. To think that the enemy was able to enter Kouzuki security service. Then it’s assumed that there’s someone from the same organization that’s an enemy other than Cesario Viola.

Please take your meal for a while now.I will make contact again later

Then, Jii-chan’s voice ends.

The image of the screen switches on the first floor of the hotel. Ah.Someone came in the hotel by car.

Ah, that’s our dad

Tsunoda said.

A man wearing an expensive looking suit comes out of the black car. Thus, the people on the negotiation table will be gathering at the table one by one. .Now then.

Girls, are you not hungry?

I call out to my women.

Eh, what’s wrong, Yo-chan?

Nei-san asks me in surprise.

Let’s eat properly while we have time

The students invaded in while we were in the middle of a meal earlier.

Besides.it would be a waste to leave food

.There’s still quite a lot of meals left.

.Danna-sama, you’re right

Misuzu smiles at me.

Let’s try to eat a bit more while we have time!

Un.we don’t know when our next meal will be if Viola’s attack happens.

It’s possible that we might be isolated in the hotel.

Right.I’m eating!

Mana said.

You all as well, eat as much as you want!

Misuzu orders the students.

Now then, the room has become strange.

Misuzu’s orders are working.so the students aren’t coming close to us. Instead. Theprince factionand therising factionare interacting

I wanted to talk to you once

Shiba Akira talks to Kata Takashi, the planner of theprince faction

On the other side, Kouzuki Kenshi and Torada Chitoku fromrising factionare talking to Oohari Ryou and Koku Rakujin, members of theprince factionthat aren’t member of Kouzuki house. Hanaoka Shinsuke, Koumori Akira also join the circle. Kouzuki Souji, the leader ofprince factionwho had the densest blood broke down.it seems that the power balance of theprivate factionstarts changing right away. Theprince factionwas bound by the relationship of their family and parent’s generation. Therising factionwere indebt children of those who have entered later. That’s another inferiority complex. That complex was removed at once and the air has gotten better.

However.there seems to be a person who have decided to be isolated on the contrary.

Kwafuji Akishi and Takagi Fuuta are looking at the whole state from far away. Then, Kouzuki Souji, Subaru and Satoshi gathered together and eat quietly.

There’s also a small change in us.

Yoshiko-san who’s been gloomy until a while ago is now eating with Ruriko with a bright face. It seems that she feels a bit relieved now that Ruriko’s fiance problem have been cleared up. Misuzu and Nagisa are taking charge of the place. Reika’s playing with Mao-chan as usual Megu and Mana are eating with the two of them stuck together. I’ve got to break this combo somehow. I feel like Megu and Mana’s combination isn’t very good. Yukino, she’s limping alone. However, because Kouzuki Satoshi who knows her true identity is here.she can’t leave our side

Hey, are you eating properly?

I ask Yukino.

Just leave me alone.

I took a sandwich and a drink

Anyway.eat. You don’t know when you need the strength to go

It’s fine.who cares if I die anyway

Yukino said showing a gloomy face.

If Moritsugu-ojisama loses power.nobody will come to help us anymore

Yukino saidUs

Papa’s abandoned.Mama can just go back to Ichikawa house.Maika, well, it seems you saved her

Yukino has her own family

That terrible father and mother that abandoned her.that’s still Family for Yukino

What will happen to me?

I.

For the time being.you’ll stay with us for a year

.A year?

Yukino shows a suspicious face

You’ll give birth to a child after all

Surprised.Yukino touches her own stomach

I wonder if I’m already pregnant.

Even if we don’t do it now, I’ll definitely make you pregnant.that’s Minaho-neesan’s will

Minaho-neesan is trying to make Yukino give birth to a substitute to her dead sister.

If a baby isn’t born.Minaho-neesan’s revenge won’t be complete. Minaho-neesan was made to never make a child again anymore by Shirasaka Sousuke

.You’re right, I don’t think you’re gonna give up

Yukino mutters, expressing her disgust.

Then just rape me as you wish.you coward

Mana then approaches Yukino.

Onii-chan.want me to give birth instead?

.Hey, Mana

It’s not just Yukino-san.I’m also a subject of Kuromori-san’s revenge right? I’m fine with it. Either way, someday I’ll give birth to Onii-chan’s child.it’s fine to get pregnant even now. Mana can’t go back to her school anyway!

Mana won’t be able to go back to the prestigious all girl middle school.

Mana will take a year break and give birth. Then, you can just throw Yukino-san away right!

even I am fine with it

Megu comes close.

I also am Shirasaka Sousuke’s daughter

It’s fine Megu-oneechan.Mana will do it. Megu-oneechan still has her school.I want you to do your best in your club activities too! Mana’s the one who shouldn’t.it’s not good for a 14 year old girl to give birth. Besides, you’re aiming to become a super model, right? Your body line would change if you get pregnant. You know that don’t you?

Megu tells Mana.

But.a dream is a dream. I’d rather have a bond with Onii-chan than reach my dream

.Bond?

If I make a baby.then I’ll be able to feel that should never leave Onii-chan’s side

I see.Mana’s

Uneasy

Besides.I’m scared of Yukino-san giving birth to Onii-chan’s child

.Eh, about what? Like.Yukino-san might take away Onii-chan from us

.Mana?

Yoshi-kun.I’m the same. I’m scared of Yukino

.Megu

These two. Yukino’s younger sister and half sister. They’ve always lived having inferiority complex towards Yukino. The wound still remains in their heart

I hate this guy so much!

Yukino tells her sisters.

But, this man seems to like me by all means!

Yukino whispers, showing a nasty smile.

We know.that’s why we’re scared

Megu said.

Ooh, now that I see your depressed face.it made me hungry

Yukino eats the sandwich I brought

Right.if it’s going to make you suffer then I think I’ll bear this man’s child!

Yukino also holds inferiority complex towards Megu.

That ill feeling makes Yukino go reckless.

I’ll do anything if it’s to see your crying face

.I

Yukino.you don’t understand anything

.What?

Yukino glares at me.

Have you ever thought of wanting to have sex with me?

There’s no way I would. I hate people like you! You’ve been forcibly raping me all the time!

Yukino who has high pride answers as such.

Right. You’re always forcibly raped. Even now, you’re forced to look funny.forcibly dragged around. It has nothing to do against your will!

That’s right! I’m the victim here!

Yukino barks at me with angry eyesl.

That’s how it is. Even getting pregnant, giving birth to a child.it’s all forced. Your will is ignored!

I said

If there’s someone who should cry, it’s you. Your life has been made a mess by me. !

Tears accumulate in Yukino’s eyes.

what, what’s with you, what’s with you! Unforgivable.I’ll never forgive you!

Again, tears drop from Yukino’s cheeks.

Yeah, you don’t have to.I don’t think you will

I look at Megu and Mana.

You girls too.whatever happens, don’t ever get jealous of Yukino!

.Yoshi-kun? .Onii-chan? I’ll make Megu and Mana happy. Therefore, you should be

.But

Yukino will never become happy.you two are different

There’s no way for us to understand each other.

We’re incompatible.

Believe me, be proud.okay?

.But

Megu’s still gloomy

You two don’t believe Master? Then please excuse yourself from being Master’swoman

Michi comes in.

Michi-san.does that mean?

Misuzu-sama and I.believe that Master will make us happy.we also swear to make Master happy

Michi reports

If you always just want to be pampered by Master and doesn’t intend to support him.then you two should be eliminated!

Hey, wait.Michi

It would be troublesome if you attack Megu or Mana with your Kudou style ancient martial arts!

Hai hai hai hai! That’s enough!

Nei-san appears smiling.

Megu-chan and Mana-chan too.it’s about time you’ve got to reassess. You two have been overly relying on Yo-chan since last night!

.Over relying? We?

Megu looks down.

It’s fine to be spoiled! We’refamily! But, are you okay with just being the one being pampered?

.I don’t think it is

Mana answers

.What should we do?

Megu mutters.

Before I noticed.Misuzu-san has overtaken me. Misuzu-san is becoming even more attractive as Yoshi-kun’s partner and yet.I’m becoming a burden. I.I!

.Megu.

Chapter 272

Hmm.It can’t be helped you know?

Nei-san speaks to the gloomy Megu with a lively voice.

Megu-chan wants Yo-chan to be by her side all the time right?

.Megu

Well, that’s true.but

But what? I don’t think I deserve to stand beside Yoshi-kun

Nei-san smiles.

You want to be needed by Yoshi-kun?

Because.right now, I need Yoshi-kun. Therefore I also want Yoshi-kun to need me.but, Yoshi-kun got Misuzu-san and Nei-san, there are much more stronger, much more beautiful onee-san than me.I think that I’m just becoming a drag.

Megu’s having a gloomy face.

Even earlier.Misuzu-san went all the way to comfort me.Misuzu-san’s so composed.caring so much for me.I’m losing. I’m completely defeated!

.AH

.I see. Oops. Earlier, when Misuzu comforts the depressed Megu. Then Megu was crying. I was sure that Megu’s feelings had settled down but. It did the opposite. Megu’s feeling a strong inferiority towards Misuzu. She’s holding a sense of rivalry for being with me. And with the rival, Misuzu being gentle to her.she cried miserably. I just strengthened the inferiority complex.

Do you hate losing?

Nei-san asks Megu

.I hate it

Then, what do you intend to do? .I don’t know. I’m not an amazing woman like Misuzu-san.I’m can’t be kind to everyone like Misuzu-san.no courage, no strength either!

Megu’s body trembles.

Megu-chan.you’re making a big misunderstanding

Nei-san said.

Mii-chan isn’t as compost as Megu-chan thinks

But.Misuzu-san’s strong. Much more than me Then.are you just going to leave Yo-chan too Mii-chan?

Megu raised her face.

I can’t let that happen

Nei-san smiles

Then.there’s no other way but to struggle!

.Struggle

You see.I also used to think of this. I want to be needed by the one I love. When Kei-chan was alive.I’ve been clinging to Kei-chan, and it saved me

Nei-san recalls her past.

But you see.there was nothing I did for Kei-chan. As a sister, as a woman.I couldn’t do anything. I was really a nuisance for Kei-chan

Nei-san’s lost twin brother.

He was continuously violated by Cesario Viola so he can protect Nei-san. In the end, he killed Viola’s sister and got killed by her.

But you see.Recently, I’ve been thinking. As long as you’re alive, that’s good enough. I’ve got to do somethingorI want to be needed.are just your own desires. Just blow away those thoughts.there’s no need to like me, I don’t care if I’m hated. I just want to live Nei-san laughs lonely.

Kei-chan was Christian you see.did I talk about it already?

Nei-san looks at me.

Yes.I’ve heard about the story of him praying at night with Nei-san when you were confined by Viola

Nei-san back then tried to give her body to her brother.

However the Christian brother refused to have sex.

The two of them prayed to God and let the night pass.

You see, I hate to pray to a God that doesn’t help no matter how hard you try, but.Kei-chan saidGod is always by our side Yeah.just beside us. He won’t come to help

Megu and Mana are listening to Nei-san’s talk.

You see, in Christian churches in the US.you often seeGOD IS LOVEon walls. When you translate it in Japanese, it says神は愛なり.1 Those words often come to my mind!

.神は愛

If the God’s love means staying beside us and not helping.thenloveis just an act of snuggling together. Being needed by the other, helping them out.isn’t that just useless? Just staying by the side.existing.just living.I think that’s enough Kei-chan’s no longer here

Nei-san.I’ll stay by Nei-san’s side forever

I.I promised to be Nei-san’s brother in substitute for Kei-san.

I know! I’ll stay with Yo-chan forever too!

Nei-san smiles.

Megu-oneechan is overthinking.I know how it feels though

Mana said.

Mana also keep troubling Onii-chan. Mana’s the one who’s a luggage to Onii-chan. If Onii-chan hates me and abandons me someday, I won’t make any complains!

Mana leans her body on me

She’s putting my head on my chest.

.There’s no other place for Mana to live other than Onii-chan’s side

.Mana

Therefore, when I give birth to Onii-chan’s child.then I feel like I can have a passport to stay by his side

The wound in her heart is deeply rooted.

Megumi-oneesama and Michimouto is worrying too much!

Michi who’s been silently listening to the two speaks up.

.However Megumi-oneesamais fine but.Mana-imoutowhat?

Master is like a big tree. We should just enter the shade of Master and take a rest.that’s good enough!

.Michi?

I think so too. Just being by Yo-chan’s side heals us. That alone is fine

Nei-san too.

No, but.I can to anything.

In reality.I’m not confident that I’m useful to everyone.

Why? Yo-chan is always listening to us seriously you know? You always think with all your best.you even say that you like me right?

yes I love Yo-chan! Also.Yo-chan likes Megu-chan, Mana-chan, Mii-chan.Katsun, Nagisa-san, Mii-chan, Ruri-chan, Reika-san.Sensei and Maru-chan, Shige-ojii-chan, Seki-san and Yoshiko-san right? Yes.I do Yeah. Everything Yo-chan thinks comes out of his face.he’s someone who doesn’t lie. He’s kind to everyone he really likes.he makes a thorough wall for people he hates Is that so? That’s right.Yo-chan you hate that elitist guys over there right? Well.yeah

More than hate.I’m not good at dealing with them

Those people are basically rejecting Yo-chan but Yo-chan’s also shutting out his heart from them. Really.that’s so easy to understand

Nei-san smiles at me.

With that said.if Yo-chan’s not rejecting us then we can just stay by Yo-chan’s side. We can stay under the shade of the great tree called Yo-chan. Then, if Yo-chan stops accepting us someday.then that will definitely be shown in Yo-chan’s face.then, you can just go away from him Nei-san tells Megu and Mana.

But.I I want to be helpful to Yo-chan

Megu speaks in pain.

I’ve said it earlier. There’s no choice but to struggle desperately. Bet with your life

.Life?

Megu’s surprised from what Nei-san said.

That’s right. When Yo-chan dies.and he saidI’m really glad I have you, thank youthen it’ll be Megu-chan’s win. You just have to stay with him for a long, very long time. Isn’t that the only way?

Nei-san smiles.

I don’t want to have regrets like I did with Kei-chan before. Therefore, I’ll do anything I wasn’t able to do to Kei-chan for Yo-chan. I already know that Yo-chan will accept whatever trouble I give him! So I just have to spend a long life with him!

.Nei-san

If you think you want to do something then do it.Yo-chan will accept whatever it is anyway. If you can’t do it right now then don’t force yourself. Don’t rush, don’t panic.life is long after all

Nei-san promised her virginity to me.

But.that is only until Cesario Viola’s case is resolved. Kei-san’s memorial service isn’t over yet for Nei-san. We won’t be able to embrace each other. Nei-san and I know that. Therefore we don’t rush. We can just take our time slowly

Really.Yo-chan’s a big and splendid big tree. He’s rooted firmly, unmoving. I love you.Yo-chan

Me too.Nei-san

I look at Megu and Mana and Michi

I love you all girls

Michi and Mana smiles

I know.Master

Mana also loves Onii-chan!

.Megu

Yoshi-kun.do you love Yukino?

Yukino who’s been listening to our conversation endlessly turned over here.

Hmm, I like Yukino but look.Yukino doesn’t like me

Yukino’s looking at me.

Therefore.the distance between us won’t shrink anymore. No matter how many times we have sex, even if Yukino gets pregnant with my child.I don’t think it’ll change

Yukino’s the same as during the entrance ceremony

Just the same.woman from far away Back then.everyday, I thought that I could just look at Yukino from a distance. The distance between our hearts, I noticed that it’ll never approach.

.You’re right

Yukino speaks

You see.I don’t understand what you’re talking about at all. Why are you so obsesses with this man? Isn’t he just a disgusting man you don’t understand what he’s thinking!

Yeah

Someone like Yukino will never understand me. Rather than understanding.she doesn’t want to, she feels disgusted.

True, this guy’s good at sex but.that’s not all. He’s head is completely empty, he’s just a stud who’s dick is always erect!

So that’s Yukino’s evaluation of me?

Got it, then Yukino-san shouldn’t have sex with Onii-chan anymore!

Mana said

.Eh?

Yukino panics.

If you feel disgusted then you don’t have to right? Yukino-san won’t have him anymore. Ah.but it would be a problem if you don’t get pregnant

In that case, we can just put Yo-chan’s semen in a syringe or something.We just need to pour it into her womb! If you ask Katsun, then she’ll take out some syringe from the mansion

There should be some kind of instrument like that used on Shirasaka Sousuke’s perverted plays.

Yeah, Nei-san, let’s do that!

Mana smiles!

Then, Mana will do the pouring of semen inside Yukino-san!

Mana’s sadistic blood boils up.

With that settled, Onii-chan has to ejaculate inside Mana with twice the amount! Mana will put the semen released into a syringe then we’ll use that to fertilize Yukino-san!

.Err.

.Michi-san, could you come over here?

While I was troubled how to reply.Margo-san calls Michi.

Reika, Nagisa and Mao-chan are surrounding Margo-san. Everyone’s watching over the image on the first floor lobby projected on the screen.

Yes, I’m coming right now!

Michi replies

Let’s go too

I try to go to Margo-san’s side

.Then

Yoshi-kun.I’ll do my best

Megu whispers.

I don’t know what I should do but.I’ll do my best2

With Nei-san talking sense to her.Megu seems to have recovered her thoughts a bit

You don’t have to do your best.Just stay by my side

I also whisper on Megu’s years.

Just staying by my side is good enough

.Yoshi-kun, thank you

Megu mutters.

The first floor lobby has the security guards of Kouzuki security service and the free people brought by Kudou-papa.

The image on the screen is from a surveillance camera?

Reika-oneesan taught us how to use the surveillance systems

Margo-san pulled out a device on the wall and pushed a switch one after another.

Reika is one of the elite members of the Kouzuki security service. As this is a property of Kouzuki house, she seems to be familiar with this hotel which have been used many times on important meetings.

However.Kudou-san’s really amazing. Didn’t he gather most of the people working in Tokyo underground

Margo-san said.

Ah, I see the Banbarubie 3 ladies.

Ah, that woman’s nipple is exposed!

When he saw Ruby’s nipples on the screen, Tsunoda shouted!

The students stopped talking and focused on the video. MArgo-san then switches the camera quickly.

However.it’s really filled with unique people

Nagisa said amazed.

Kudou-papa’s colleagues are truly flashy people. Most have a solid figure.wearing a leather jacket but. There’s a lot of people wearing strange clothes. There’s a mohawk guy with a huge thorns on his shoulder protector. A fuke monk having a braided hair.what kind of person is he? There’s another guy who’s dressed like a pilot of a jet fighter(there’s an oxygen mask on the pilot helmet).and a F1 Racing person(with a proper sponsor logo, covering his whole face with helmet) Even though it’s a hotel lobby, there’s one wearing a wet suit,

SCUBA

, and even has a flipper.I can’t understand the aim. With this, Kudou-papa and Neko-san who can be seen as a middle school girl even though she’s a mother becomes the ordinary people. Banbarubie have their triangular bikini, hotpants, and a Japanese sword. I can see a lady wearing pink nurse clothes and have a huge syringe, like she’s cosplaying for some anime or manga. Or rather, there’s a group of nine wearing white scarf and red clothes.what’s that? Red, yellow, or green, or group wearing colorful Japanese clothing. A gentlemen wearing a pure white suit and having a glass of brandy on one hand.

Hey hey.is the first floor having a cosplay competition?

Kouzuki Satoshi mutters.

Oh, Ito Shiro, Komatsu Masao, Minami Shinsuke, and Yamada Takao are also here

Margo-san speaks.

I wonder if all of them are known figures in the underground community?

Yes, father is well known after all

Michi speaks proudly

Knowing such people.I wonder? Well, Kudou-papa is also a strange guy.

Michi-san.is thatMars Doug RamandUchuu Gyaos?

Margo-san asks

Looking at it.there’s a pair of men wearing a silver suit on the screen. One is a white guy and the other is Japanese. Both of them are wearing dark sunglasses.

Yes, that’s right. Both of them have have been requested by father for work several times

Michi answers.

Oh, I’ve seen then only on files but.aren’t they quite a combination of skills?

Margo-san speaks laughing.

What is thatMarsand Uchuu

Mana asks

It’s their code names

Reika answers

The white guy is Douglas Ramsay.he’s originally from the American Special Forces, his codename back then wasMars Then he lived in Japan’s underground society, his name was shortened.thusMars Doug Ram Eh, why? Won’tMarsjust do?

Yeah. I think that Mana’s right.

Well.the codenamemarsis more familiar to the Japanese underground society since a long time.

To be accurate, it’sGetter Mars-san

Michi supplements Reika’s explanation

Oh, because the code name overlaps.he changed his name after coming.

What aboutUniverse Gyaos?

Universe Gyaos-san’s real name is Naito Uchuuta-san

Michi answers Mana.

Uchuuta, soUchuu?

.Yes .Then what aboutGyaos? .Because he’s Naito

Michi speaks confidently but.I don’t get it.

However, not onlyMars Doug Ram.there’s quite a few foreigners

Margo-san said

.Kudou-san’s so drastic

.Does that mean?

Someone among them should be communicating with Cesario Viola!

Margo-san smiles.

1. hah!

2. Reminder that she slapped Mana for asking what to do

Chapter 273

Complex Chapter 273. Second Negotiation ー 1

Kudou-san seems to have called out each and every person in the underground society. Actually.most named people are in here

The image reflected on the screen is the scenery of the first floor. Reika speaks looking at the free people in the underground society wearing strange clothing.

He must’ve presented quite a considerable amount of reward. In addition, the fight in this hotel is organized byKakka If you play an active part in here,Kakkamight recognize them. It’s possible that you can be a regular of Kouzuki security service.they can also become an agent that reports directly toKakkalike Kudou-san I see.if they’re free men then today’s work has a big meaning.

Well.it’s a full confrontation between the Kouzuki family and the famous American criminal organization. Those lacking in ability would just cower and hide.on the other hand, those people who have a name in the underground society will lose their face unless they participate in thefighttonight. Kudou-san distributed the information on the underground society and made it such a big event!

Margo-san said.

Yes.they got no other choice but to come to Kudou-san’s request tonight to protect their own reputation in the underground society. If they don’t come then they’ll be a laughingstock.for the free people, they’re most afraid of their own reputation being hurt Reika explains.

Therefore.do they intend to be ourally?do they intend to be ourenemy?we still don’t know at this stage which side they will take

.Does that mean?

Yeah.there’s a lot of devil’s advocate among the free people in the underground society. Especially the strong ones have that tendency. It’s not fun to be Kouzuki-san’s ally.then they’ll take Viola’s side and decide to fight against us. They just want to make a mess around a big organization like Kouzuki Security service!

Margo-san said smiling.

Anyway, those who will change to Viola’s side will be presented with a decent guarantee.they might think that this could be their chance to join with Viola and move to Los Angeles base. Those people without roots will flow anywhere they want I see.

.Then that means that there’s Viola’s men in there?

When I asked, Margo-san.

Not his minions though. In the end.they’re justlocal employeehired by Viola for tonight. Look, those foreigners that attacked before are like those

.Is that so?

Kudou-papa was on the side of the grounds.then suddenly a group of foreigners come to attack.

Viola has an absolutely limited number of people moving in Japan. If he want to build up troops, then he can only hire local people

Margo-san said.

We don’t know how many Viola’s men were brought from the US but.well, now that it came to this, we can consider that he brought a quite a number of soldiers with him

We can no longer trust that Viola brought a small number of people to Japan.

The information of the group that seems to be Viola in the airport was all fake. The real Viola entered Japan from a different place. Miss Cordelia and the other set of white Viola is is also here. It should be considered that certain number of criminals have infiltrated.

But still.I guess the limit is around 30 people at max? It’s impossible to go any further than that. Kouzuki-san had checked all of the immigration status of all airports across the country

Margo-san analyzes.

Therefore.due to the padding of forces, some of them are locally hired by Viola!

Nei-san said.

The free people in the underground money will do anything for money! They’re especially dry when it comes to foreign business. If they can earn properly then they’d only think of getting away from their home country!

I see.if it’s a foreigner, they don’t mind the power of Kouzuki family.

No, even Japanese people.if you’re living in the underground society, you can calmly oppose Kouzuki house. .Anyway Everyone’s supposed to be gathered in this hotel lobby according to Kudou-papa’s request today. As soon as it turns to battle, that’s when those who will becomeenemiesshow up. With that said now.it looks like all of the strange looking people in the screen areenemies

.Do you two assume that a percent of the people father have gathered areenemies?

Michi asks Reika and Margo who’s leading the road.

In this case.the number doesn’t matter

Margo-san smiles wryly.

That’s right.it depends on the level of the fighting ability of the opponent

Reika answers.

No matter how many weak fries gathered.they can’t fight someone with an A-class combat ability.

And to trouble us.those who have a perverse personality is quite strong!

Haa.well, that’s bad.

Take a look.even the people in the lobby are aware of it. Look, everyone’s checking each other!

Just as Margo-san points out.the members of the underground society in the lobby are united per teams.and trying to distance from the other teams.

They make conversations sometime but they seem to be suspicious of each other. They’re keeping each other, prepared anytime someone attacks.

It’s fine to be tense but.I don’t want to stay in that place. Your mind’s just going to be grinded, I can’t bear that

Margo-san said.

But.that

There’s a doubt that spring inside me.

Kudou-san knows that the situation comes to this right?

.That old man who’s prepared for everything.

There’s no way he won’t assume this situation.

Well, that’s of course!

Margo-san smiles.

Really.Kudou-san’s a good man

.What does that mean?

I don’t know why he would bother to make such a tense place.

.Eh, Yo-chan, you don’t get it?

Nei-san makes a surprised face.

Ah, Nei-san.Mana doesn’t understand too

Mana confesses smiling.

.Then, from behind

Maika, are you an idiot? Isn’t it obvious to determine who’s the enemy and ally if you gather them in one place?

.yukino?

You were listening? Or rather.since when did you join in our circle?

Everyone’s glaring at each other.the realenemycan’t make any actions if you’re in such a tension filled situation you know?

Yukino begins to chatter facing us.

Besides, they come this far making a promiseI’ll be Kouzuki-san’s ally.but actually, some action happened, they missed the timing to refuse, and they’ll just stay as an ally to the end

Yukino explains to us showing a triumphant face.

The people who intends tobe Kouzuki-san’s allyfrom the start are those who don’t have any hesitation in their heart but you see.those people who thinks ofchanging sides with the enemywill be hesitating until the final moment. I think there’s quite a lot of people who will wait and see and thinkI’ll stay on Kouzuki-san’s side after all Yukino’s guess is sharp,

I recognize that. Yukino’s not an idiot. .But It would’ve been cool if she only doesn’t dress and make-up this strange. Even though she’s not an idiot. She looks like an idiot. .Well fine. Yukino herself has completely forgotten how she looks as she speak.

Correct.it is as Yukino-san said

Margo-san answered smiling.

It’s very dangerous to invite people who are possiblyenemiesinside the hotel but you see, we can reduce the number of people who would double-cross at the last second. Kouzuki security service in the hotel is completely fortified.it’ll take quite a lot of courage to change sides in this situation!

Once again, looking at the screen.

The uniformed personnel stationed are about four times the size of the odd group. With this number difference.those whowill try to change sideswill be pressured.

Besides.father has Neko-san and Banbarubie 3 on his side by all means. If you put those people in place, they can reliably deal with those who will change sidesquickly

Michi said confidently.

Well.I guess Kudou-san made this decision after agonizing. If you leave them outside, we would only be attacked from multiple sides. It would be troubling if they cooperate with Viola’s main force

As long as they’re trapped in the lobby.they can suppress those who willchange sides

Ah, it seems someone’s coming again!

Nei-san said

There’s a black luxury car stopping at the entrance of the hotel. While we are talking. The members of the dissident group in Shirasaka house coming to negotiate and. The fathers of the students in Kouzuki house.are coming in the hotel one after another. Those who arrived were lead directly to the upper floor making sure they won’t make contact with Kudou-papa’s people .Before long. The image of the screen was forcibly switched to a big conference room.

Both Shirasaka-san and ours didn’t arrive on schedule however, we can’t wait any longer. Let’s begin

Jii-chan who’s sitting dignified on the table speaks up heavily.

On Jii-chan’s side, Minaho-neesan. Then, Seki-san stands behind as guard. In the seats behind.the Kouzuki group’s executives. Surrounding them is Chief Tanizawa of Kouzuki security service, and Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san as guards.

.I’m really sorry! Just what happened to Fukushi-chan!

The old lady speaks on the other side of the tale facing Jii-chan and others.

Shirasaka house’s branch family’s, Shirasaka Ayako. Next to her is Shirasaka Hiromitsu who’s the representative of the local Shirasaka house’s company, and. Yamada Hisashi, the vice president at Shirasaka house’s newspaper company Tokyo Head office. It seems that Ayako’s son, Shirasaka Fukushi is late.

Hmm.we also are lacking two people in here!

Jii-chan said as he looked at the executives behind

.Reika-oneesan? Who’s the executive that didn’t come?

Margo-san asks.

Reika’s one of the top at Kouzuki security service. She knows the names and faces of the executives on Kouzuki group.

Shiba Okitachi and Kouzuki Noboru

Kouzuki Noboru.whose father is he?

There’s four men from Kouzuki branch family among Jii-chan’s students, Kouzuki Souji and Subaru, Kouzuki Satoshi, and Kouzuki Kenshi.

In short, that’s three Kouzuki executive surnames.

He’s Kouzuki Kenshi-san’s father!

Reika answers.

Although Jii-chan, who’s the head of Kouzuki house had imposed anurgent summonto them, they didn’t come. It’s possible that the two aretraitors Misuzu and Ruriko.they were attacked by theenemiesdisguising Kouzuki security service during our departure from the theater. Those people have stolen the uniform of a man who joined in the Kouzuki security service several months ago. These kind of things can’t be planned by Cesario Viola who belongs to a foreign criminal organization. There is definitely atraitoramong the Kouzuki group. Then.those people might’ve worked with Cesario Viola. If they don’t appear tonight. Then, they know that this will become a battlefield later. If Viola’s attack succeeds.Jii-chan’s life would be at stake. There’s also a possibility of the executives being killed. Therefore.they refuse to come to the hotel, reluctant to die by themselves. .Isn’t that how it is?

Shiba will be heading here from Haneda

One of the executives answered Jii-chan

Oh, he went to inspect a factory on the China?

Jii-chan turned to that executive.

Yes.the arrival of the plane seems to have been delayed a bit so I received a message from the International Terminal a while ago. He should be heading here by car. He will be arriving soon

Umu.what about Noboru?

Jii-chan asks, the executive.

I can’t contact him.his phone is unavailable. His secretary and driver also doesn’t know his whereabouts!

Suspicious. that’s too suspicious

Well fine.let’s begin our talk anyway

Jii-chan faces front

First.I want to hear your proposal

.Proposal?

Vice president Yamada makes a suspicious face.

That’s right.let me tell you beforehand, I think that the scandal of Shirasaka family is just deserts. Even if the Shirasaka newspaper or television station would go down from this.I won’t have any trouble whatsoever Hearing that, vice president Yamada.

What are you talking about.our company is a traditional newspaper established since 75 years. We had a history of fighting to keep the freedom of the press!

.Who do you think you’re talking to?

Jii-chan speaks coldly.

It just lasted for 75 years at most, to say that is a history, a tradition!

Jii-chan laughs sarcastically.

You know the traditional house named Kouzuki don’t you? If I go back to my ancestors, it’ll be names written in the oldest chronicles of Japan!

-Kouzuki house is one of the leading historical names in Japan.

Our ancestors that can be confirmed to be real and existing are from Heian period(794-1185) Kouzukiis a family name that’s from Muromachi era(1333-1573)! If you want to talk about history or tradition then at least speak on ones that last for a hundred years or more Jii-chan would be the only one in Japan who could say such sarcasm.

.This year would be your 75th year founding anniversary isn’t it?

Yes.we did a commemorative ceremony in April

Frightened from Jii-chan’s attitude, vice president Yamada answers.

Then, isn’t that a great opportunity.to be crushed

Jii-chan smiles

Vice president Yamada trembles.

Uhm.Kouzuki-sama, allow me to speak

Shirasaka Hiromitsu raises his hand.

.Very well. What is it about?

Ha.Thank you very much

Shirasaka Hiromitsu seems to be a man that’s modest.

Uhm.this is our first time meeting so let me introduce myself. I’m Shirasaka Hiromitsu from Osaka!

Umu, I know. I’ve heard that you’re a capable man

Shirasaka Hiromitsu’s forehead is already shining with sweat.

I.there is something I would like to request from Kouzuki-sama by all means so I hastened coming from Osaka

No need for introductions.what do you want?

Shirasaka Hiromitsu took a deep breath then.said

.I don’t know anything about the Tokyo office’s newspaper, television and radio station companies. Please consult about it on Shirasaka Ayako-san and vice president Yamada about that

Umu.I’ve heard that you’re in Tokyo in behalf of the local affiliates .Yes

Shirasaka Hiromitsu look straight at Jii-chan.

On behalf of the branch office for the television, radio, and newspaper companies.I would like to say. Kouzuki-sama.would you please buy all of our companies?

The Shirasaka house who’s dominating the media.their local companies want to be bought?

Chapter 274

Chapter 274. Second negotiation ー 2

.Are you saying you want me to buy the local television and radio stations only?

The president of the television station from Osaka, Shirasaka Hiromitsu shows a bitter look from Jii-chan’s remark

Hiromitsu-kun, what are you suggesting?

Shirasaka house’s Tokyou office vice president.Yamada Hisashi shouts aghast.

If you do that.our television and newspaper network would collapse

On the other hand.Shirasaka Hiromitsu from Osaka.

I don’t mind.let it collapse. Currently, the network is concentrated on Tokyo too much. Most of the information is sent from Tokyo, people living in the rurals are watching it welcome.this situation is distorted. We must correct it That’s not true, we’re covering all of the local topics adequately!

Vice president Yamada doesn’t seem to be convinced.

I don’t think that’s enough. No, the problem isn’t whether the local topics are reported or not.The big problem is that the Tokyo topics take up the television and newspaper more than necessary!

Shirasaka Hiromitsu won’t give in.

For example.a light night show is sent out from the Tokyo station. Since it’s a news program, it only has to give out news, but there’s also extra corner. Why do you have to show the rural areas about the famous confectionery that’s in limited production under the department stores in Tokyo, the popular ramen shops in Tokyo, special features about a lunch store where you can eat for only 500 yen at Tokyo? If you don’t live in Tokyo then isn’t that all useless information?

Oh.So those kind of programs show on rural areas too?

True.it’s just troublesome for the local people far away from Tokyo to have such broadcast. It’s not somewhere they go on their daily life.

That’s just letting the local people know the current trends in Tokyo too!

Vice president Yamada says so but.

That’s none of our business. You think that all of sources of information are in Tokyo. The local provinces have their own news too. We would like to increase the coverage that’s appropriate for each region without being bound by information control by Tokyo You don’t get it Hiromitsu-kun.the political and economic center of Japan is Tokyo. Isn’t it obvious that all of the information dissemination should be centered at Tokyo?

Yes, therefore we will be broadcasting the congress and the stocks information from Tokyo. However, it’s just wrong to produce all other information contents in Tokyo and distribute it nationwide. The local stations need more privilege! .You’re just saying that so you can sell program made in Osaka and other provinces don’t you!

The representative of TV station in Osaka.and the vice president of Tokyo newspaper office.

Their opinions don’t match at all.

Well, fine. If Shirasaka Hiromitsu wants me to buy the local companies.and ultimately, you want to get out of the control of Shirasaka Moritsugu who’s the representative

Jii-chan concludes.

Yes.we can never freely report if we’re under Shirasaka Moritsugu’s powerful ruling

Shirasaka Hiromitsu look at Jii-chan’s eye as he answer.

However.if you change the ruler from Shiraska Moritsugu to me.do you really think that you can report freely? I might aspire to make a more biased coverage than Shirasaka Moritsugu you know?

Jii-chan laughs.

That is.we do believe in Kouzuki-sama

Well said. What do you know about me then?

Jii-chan pressures Shirasaka Hiromitsu.

Either way, I already know what you were thinking coming here.next

Jii-chan’s eyes turned from Shirasaka Hiromitsu to Shirasaka Ayako.

I’ll listen to you. What do you want to ask from me?

Shirasaka Ayako.

I’m someone that’s closer in the head house of Shirasaka than Shirasaka Hiromitsu

I know. You’re the daughter of Shirasaka Moritsugu’s older brother aren’t you? Yes.if father didn’t die young, then Uncle Moritsugu won’t become the head of Shiraska house. I am the rightful lineage of Shirasaka head family

I see, because she can assert her legitimacy in the bloodline.Shirasaka Ayako can be the boss of the forcer against Shirasaka Moritsugu, the head of Shirasaka house.

With the last night’s blunder.I have decided that it would be better if Uncle Moritsugu isn’t the head of the house anymore. Uncle Moritsugu will retire. And the next head’s seat will be inherited by my son, Shirasaka Fukushi .Err

In short, this old lady wants his son to be the next head.

As expected, the Shirasaka house must be lead by the right blood. My son, if Fukushi becomes the head, then Shirasaka house will return to it’s rightful lineage. Both the newspaper and television stations.should be proud of Fukushi Isn’t that just Obasan’s personal delusions?

Therefore.Kouzuki-sama, please support Fukushi from the back. Of course, Fukushi and I swear absolute obedience to Kouzuki-sama. All of Shirasaka family will move by Kouzuki-sama’s will!

Shirasaka Ayako shows a vulgar smile.

I think that it’s not a bad deal for Kouzuki-sama.

.This Obsasan doesn’t care about anything else as long as her son is the owner of Shirasaka family.

She intends to pass the rights to Shirasaka house’s newspaper and television companies. She just want the honor of being the owner of Shirasaka family.

Do you have the same opinion?

Jii-chan looks at vice president Yamada.

not at all!

Vice president Yamada answers in a loud voice.

I.for one, would like all of the management team from Shirasaka house’s television and newspaper companies to resign

Yamada-san, what do you mean by that

Shirasaka Ayako’s provoked

Are you saying that you’ve forgotten all of the kindness and gratitude you had from Shirasaka house and want to banish Shirasaka from the company?

Don’t be absurd!

Vice president Yamada answers.

For one.Let me speak. Currently, with Shiraska Sousuke’s problem coming to light.it has become a national concern. And last night.Head Chairman Shirasaka Moritsugu spoke at the press conference as if he’s protecting Shirasaka Sousuke’. With this, it can’t be helped if they think that the whole Shirasaka family is concealing the crime of the family What are you saying! You’re just an employee of the newspaper company, you’re rude!

Shirasaka Ayako shouts.

I’m the vice president! An executive! I don’t resemble anything that can be called an employee!

Vice president Yamada flares up at Shirasaka Ayako

Either way.the trust on the television and newspaper company is ruined because of the problems caused by the people of Shirasaka house. Yesterday, all of the affiliates were flooded with protest calls an faxes! Now that it has come to this, if all the members of Shirasaka house don’t leave their office.the people won’t be convinced!

Saying that, you just intend to take control of the newspaper and television companies! I don’t have such ulterior motives. I’m saying that there’s no other options in order to stabilize the newspaper and television companies! fukushi.what about Fukushi? Fukushi-kun isn’t an executive. If Shirasaka house is only among employees, then the people will allow it Saying that.you’re thinking of driving Fukushi out someday don’t you! That’s right.of course you do! Both of you, stop this already!

Shirasaka Hiromitsu scolds them.

Kouzui-sama.this is the inside of the Tokyo office. They only think about their own power struggle.they’re not thinking about us in the local areas!

That’s not true.I believe that it’s important to cover the whole country with the coverage network Yamada-san.we’re not a property of Tokyo office! We’re independent from Tokyo! I’ve already had enough to see only the color of Tokyo!

Yeah.

What’s this

Do those people not get what situation they’re in?

Kouzuki Satoshi speaks as he look at the screen.

Shirasaka Hiromitsu wants backup on the local companies becoming independent.Shirasaka Ayako wants her son to be supported becoming the head.vice president Yamada from the Tokyo office wants Shirasaka house’s people to step down, each of them requestKakkatheir own wishes.

Kata Takashi, the brain of the students put it together.

In the end.the three’s opinion match only about Shirasaka Moritsugu losing his position as the head

Shiba Akira mutters showing an amazed face.

However.they only think of their own self afterwards!

Should I say as expected of Shirasaka house.

They’re only evaluated as egoistic criminals like Shirasaka Sousuke.

All of you are people not worth negotiating with me

Jii-chan said

Shirasaka Hiromitsu-kun.you’ll stay in Osaka forever. It seems that you don’t have any intention to oppose the whole of Japan even the world.

That is not true! First of all.I just thought of accumulating all of the small things Therefore you should go back to your province and pile it up. I’ll deal with the Shirasaka newspaper and television companies’ regional affiliate even without you That’s.what will happen to us in the rural areas? If you’re saying that far then why don’t you stop working on a major affiliate company, capitalize, and build an independent company in the province? The local recession is terrible. My station in Osaka is capable of becoming independent but the other provinces, it’s impossible for them to create a new company If they can’t survive without their connection with Tokyo then it’s unavoidable for them to be dominated by Tokyo office That’s.couldn’t Kouzui-sama invest funds with his power somehow? You want money but you don’t say it yourself.isn’t that just selfish?
