Chapter 301
Chapter 301. Find the Traitor!
Hey.wait a moment
Tsunoda’s father said, but.
Sadly, we don’t have much time. If we don’t get rid of the traitor as soon as possible, everyone in the hotel would be in danger now!
Michi gazes at the executives with sharp eyes.
Seki-san supplements what Michi said in panic.
The enemy has blended in with the uniformed guards of Kouzuki security service. In addition, the information here is leaked to theenemy, the checkpoints are cancelled arbitrarily, and they were easily allowed to invade the hotel premise. We can only think that there’s a traitor among us executives The executives look at each other.
The young men makes noise.
But.we don’t know any illegal or criminal organizations!
Kouzuki Souji and Subaru’s father shouts.
.Just who the hell are attacking us right now? Kakkasaid that it was Cesario Viola but
Natsuki’s father asks, Seki-san answers.
The enemy’s boss is a criminal organization on American.Cesario Viola. But, most of the enemy forces are thugs coming from the far east region of Russia. It’s been identified that they came to Japan through Niigata port The one who has connection with Russia and grounds of Niigata is.Kouzuki Noboru-sama?
Said by the father of Oohari from the prince faction.
Really.both the parent and child, the prince faction just keep speaking without hesitation. On the other hand, those who just stay silent and watch over the situation.is a feature of the rising faction it seems.
Speaking of which.Noboru-sama isn’t here?
Tsunoda’s father said.
Though he’s in a branch family.Kouzuki Noboru is a member of the rising faction, not the prince faction. His son, Kouzuki Kenshi has come to this place but. His father, Noboru ignored Jii-chan’s summon without making any contact.
Then, the traitor is Noboru-kun.
Kouzuki Souji’s father said displeased.
No, Noboru-sama isn’t the only one who ignored the urgent summon ofKakka
Tsunoda said.
Shiba-san.he’s not here as well, is he?
The most powerful among the rising group.Shiba Okitachi, a capable executive who’s considering to be independent from the Kouzuki group, has lost contact after informing that he had left Haneda airport on his way back from China.
After all, the most suspicious people are the ones aren’t here. That’s what I think!
Tsunoda strongly insists.
I.
Well.Kakkasaid this
Saying that it’s fromKakka.the eyes of the executives concentrate on me.
Using russians or leaving too much evidence of entering from the Niigata port.is a bit too much. It might be a trap to point at Kouzuki Noboru.
.I think so too. Noboru-san isn’t someone who would do such a destructive thing
The one who said that is.
Err, the rising faction.Takagi Fuuta’s father?
Takagi Fuuta hasn’t talked in theprivate schoolneither so I don’t know the personality nor the position of his father that well.
Rather.if the traitor is in here, the executives and their children would be in danger, Jii-chan.no,Kakkais worried
Why is it dangerous?
Natsuki’s father asks me.
The other executives are dumbfounded. .Oh These people don’t have any imagination.
As I said.what happens if the traitor invites the enemy into this place and kill the other executives but himself? He can just manage to say that he survived with a few scratches.
The traitors who survived will automatically manage the operation of Kouzuki group.
Hmm.it’s a very interesting imagination but I don’t think that there’s a person here that would think that much. We may have different opinions but.we admireKakkaand love the Kouzuki group. There’s no such fool who would surrender to such desire Kouzuki Souji’s father says so but.
That’s not a fact but your own imagination isn’t it?
I said.
It’s a logical guess. Based on my experience so far! Isn’t it often said long ago that you’re innocent until proven guilty.right?
Kouzuki Souji’s father says confidently
Oh, they inherited the conceit and idiocy from their father.
That’s right!
Tsunoda’s father follows, as expected.
.Shubibin!
Michi’s whip slaps the floor violently.
There’s no time, Master.when it comes to this, let’s just get rid of them quickly?
.Wait, you, could it be?
Does everyone know that you will faint in shock if you experience severe pain?
.Shubarurun!
Michi whips her ring!
No way, you.with that whip?
Natsuki’s father asks Michi fearfully
.Yes. With this, everyone will faint in pain. That way, no matter who is the traitor.they won’t be bothering to cooperate with theenemyin the future!
.Shushushubaba!
The red whip slashes the air!
I’ll say it just in case.those who have a weak heart may die of shock. In addition, if it hits hard, it would interfere with the flow of nerves and blood, it may leave some handicap so please understand Michi’s cold eyes pierces the executives.
Hey, wait.you
Everyone.if you’re an executive of Kouzuki group then please prepare yourself!
Michi holds her whip.approaching the directors.
seki-san.stop her
One of the executives call out to Seki-san.
That’s right, you’re from Kouzuki security service aren’t you? You have a duty to protect us
.Seki-san
.Sorry to disappoint. I amKakka’sfull-time guard.Kakkahas left all the dealing with this matter to him.I can’t do anything
That said, they look at me.
.this kid
Yes. He is the one who receivedKakka’simperial order after all!
The attention gathered to me.
Hey, you.stop this girl. To use a whip!
This is unbearable to do such a thing! That’s right!
The executives all say to me.
In the first place.who are you? What’s your relationship withKakka?
Kouzuki Souji’s father ask.the young one, Tsunoda speaks up.
Aah, you see, this guy is.Mi
.Shubababababa!
Before he would say Misuzu, the red whip hits Tsunoda’s feet!
.Ouchh!
Tsunoda who was beaten by the whip on the tip of his foot.jumps up!
The skin of the solid and heavy leather shoes was torn.
I’ve knocked it on a place that’s protected on purpose!
Michi mutters.
.bitch!
You seem to have a very light mouth.next, I’ll tear up your mouth!
Michi holds her red whip.
Michi, seriously?
Dammit, try it if you can! You bitch!
The angry Tsunoda tries to rush to Michi!
Everyone in the room focuses on the two people.At that time!
.Haa!
Suddenly, Michi’s whip flies diagonally!
Michi’s not looking at the whip. Though.the tip of the red whip. Definitely hit Takagi Fuuta’s father’s arms!
.Bishii!
.Uwaa!
Takagi Fuuta’s father puts his hand on the inside pocket of the suit then topple over his back!
.Don’t move!
At the next moment.Reika jumpes in and thrusts the cane to Takagi’s father.
.Take out that thing in your pocket slowly
Reika gazes harshly.Takagi’s father draws out his hand from the pocket.
What’s held in his hand is.a mobile phone.
.Hey, isn’t he just trying to take out a phone?
Reika.
At the moment where the people in the room were paying attention to those children?
Michi speaks up.
Even though all of the other people’sQiwere focusing on me and yet.yourQiis the only one heading to another thing!
Michi’s ability to sense human’sQiis amazing.
Pretending to confront Tsunoda(Child).Michi’s mind is always been exploring the director’sQi Seki-san takes Takagi’s father’s phone. She look at the screen.
It looks like you were trying to mail without looking at the screen in your pocket. Emergency State Rescue Pleaseit’s not even converted to Kanji, you were just hitting Hiragana
.The recipient?
Reika asks, Seki-san.
It only saysMr..we would immediately know if we call it
No way.is it directly to Cesario Viola?
Either way.Takagi-san, you’re the traitor
Seki-san said.Takagi’s father hangs his head.
.No way
Takagi-san? No, but. If the sentence of the mail is true then there’s no question
The executives turned noisy
.Father
The son is also shocked dropping his shoulders behind his father.
Speaking of which. Indeed, Takagi’s father belongs into the rising faction but he tries to get involved in a conversation with us. That’s a strange indication. I see.so it was him? Jii-chan said that too. The traitor would be in the rising faction.
Of course, we won’t let you faint.Takagi-san will be interrogated in a separate room
.Yeah
We have to ask his connection with Viola somehow.
Anyway, take her away from the other executives.Kudou-san
Seki-san looks not at Michi but the mother.
.what?
Kudou-mama’s completely shocked.
I’d like you to contact chief Tanizawa and tell him to prepare a room for interrogation. A floor that’s not on this room. Also.it’s better for the executives to move away from this room. This room’s position has already been identified by the enemy yes
Kudou-mama hurries to the wall intercom.
Chief Tanizawa seems to be in touch with the hotel’s business line. Meanwhile, Reika pulls up Takagi’s father.
If you run then I’ll crush your limbs one by one. Okay?
Pounding the cane of death to the floor.Reika restrains Takagi’s father.
Uhm.can I go with father?
Takagi Fuuta asks Seki-san
I can no longer stay with everyone else!
If his father is the traitor then he can no longer be with the other students.
He have judged so.
.Right. You’re going to come too
Seki-san answers.
Now then.for the time being, our mission in this room is over.
Seki-san smiles at me.
Michi nods. Reika also smiles at me. .But Somehow, I feel it’s lacking. My heart is still restless.
.What’s wrong?
Feeling worried from my reaction.Seki-san peeks at me.
No.somehow I feel unpleasant
Hearing my words.Michi searched theQiinside the room again.
Reika also looks at the director’s faces while holding Takagi’s father.
.Something’s not refreshing?
Looking back.Margo-san and Nei-san smile at me.
.Did both of them notice something?
.I feel like something’s lacking
I answered.
Hmm.what’s lacking?
.I don’t know
I answer Margo-san.
I don’t know why but I feel like I haven’t solved anything yet. I feel like we’re overlooking something big.
Well, it seems that your intuition’s come to work.Yo-chan’s made some progress!
Nei-san smiles brightly
As expected.there’s an oversight.
What? No way.You can’t even notice something so simple?
Yukino who’s at the back laughs at my troubled face.
Yeah, then tell me
When I say that.Yukino
.Since when did you assume that there’s only one traitor?
.Ah
.I see There’s still a possibility that there are more traitors.
It can’t be helped. Kouzuki-san deliberately made you believe that
Margo-san said.
But.think again carefully. Kouzuki-san made you see a lot of things today.
.Yeah
Kouzuki house. Theprivate school The inside of Shirasaka house.
Using what you’ve gained from those.think once again
What to think?
Margo-san smiles.
.The traitor’s purpose
.Purpose?
What is the ultimate aim of the traitor? Do you think they’re trying to kill Kouzuki-san?
.Well
I don’t. If the traitor is among the executives, then he knows the firmness of chief Tanizawa and the full time guards.besides
.Besides what?
Margo-san laughs happily
If the top dies right now.Kouzuki group’s framework would collapse
Right.
They may aim at Misuzu or Ruriko but. There’s no single attack targeting Jii-chan directly
Then.what’s the traitor’s aim?
.That is
To kill all of the successors other than himself?
That idea comes to me.
The executives other than Jii-chan aren’t as protected as him. If I can kill only the executives, then I will kill Then, if only one survives. He’ll clearly take the top spot of the Kouzuki group from Jii-chan. Jii-chan is needed to inherit the position.
In short.the traitor’s target is?
The executives other than himself.Jii-chan’s successors, Ruriko and Misuzu and their parents.and the people with Kouzuki surname in theprivate school
He should be thinking of cleaning up all of those who can possibly be at the top of Kouzuki group other than himself.
Now then.Do you think that only Takagi-san would think and act that way by himself?
Nei-san’s word shocked me.
I know the cause of discomfort. With Takagi Fuuta’s father.I can’t see that he has a backbone to contact Cesario Viola to take over the Kouzuki house. Anyway.he’s very like a small guy. He’s not the type that plans and act according to his will.he’s the type that moves by someone’s instructions
You see.I’ve noticed something, can I say it?
Yukino said.
Yeah, say what you want. Everything is welcome
I said, Yukino.
You see, I’ve been watching these people from far away, having a bird’s-eye view. These people aren’t the same as the group of their children
That’s right, Yukino.
She’s been watching the state of people inside the room from near the door.
And yet.since earlier, that old man there and that old man over there have been exchanging eye signals occasionally They’re making strange eye contacts. Even though they’re from different groups.
Yukino points at the two people.
One of them is an already discovered traitor.Takagi’s father.one belonging to the rising faction. And the other one is.prince faction’s Tsunoda’s father.
.Tsunoda, you?
this is a misunderstanding.There’s no way I would oppose Kouzuki house! Right?
Tsunoda’s father desperately tries to dodge the suspicion.
Tsunoda-san.lend me your phone
Seki-san said.
Eh.why?
I’ll look at the contact history and addresses.I will check if Takagi-san has tried to send a mail to the sameMras Takagi-san .That is
Tsunoda’s frightened.
.There’s one! The same recipient. Or rather.he knows the man namedMr.
.Then this means
The lines connect inside my head.
Tsunoda is someone who’s also used by people. There’s no strong intention to become the ruler of all. The traitor’s boss.is another one.
.I see
There’s a conclusion that comes up inside my head.
Jii-chan said that didn’t he.people who try to stand on top of the organization don’t dirty their own hands.
Seki-san looks at my face then asks.
.What do you mean?
The traitor’s boss doesn’t need to bother coming here. He’ll just let his minions do everything and stay in a safe place
.Therefore
Leaving this place to Takagi’s father and Tsunoda.and he’ll be absent himself
The traitor’s boss is.Kouzuki Noboru
I said.
Chapter 302
Chapter 302. Behind the back
Why do you think that Kouzuki Noboru is the traitor’s boss?
Margo-san asks me,
.Well
I look at the executives.
As expected.I think that it is impossible unless you’re a person with the resolve to take over a famous house with history and tradition like Kouzuki house
.Yeah
A man who’s satisfied being someone’s vassal will not take over the lord. Because it would be easier to live as the number two or three who just borrow the power of their lord.
Therefore.the prince faction don’t fundamentally betray their head. They have already acquired the status by receiving the prestige of the Kouzuki family already
That’s right.Prince faction’s leader, Kouzuki Souji’s father himself is already bossy with just his blood relationship with Jii-chan.
Their glory doesn’t exist without Jii-chan. Therefore.they don’t feel like becoming the top at all.
But.in that case, the other absentee, Shiba Okitachi would be suspicious as well? He also has the strong will to become the top?
Margo-san says but,
Well.looking at his son, Shiba Akira, you’d think that it’s different
I answer.
Shiba Akira-san has the spirit to leave Kouzuki group and become independent anytime. I think this is the influence of his father. In short, his father, Shiba Okitachi don’t hold a concern for the Kouzuki group itself.I don’t think he considers becoming the top of group that he would be forcing into criminal acts Yeah.if he disagrees with Jii-chan then he can become independent right away.
He’s doesn’t want to make Kouzuki group his own.
Because.Kouzuki group is dyed deeply with the various stagnation of Kouzuki house. It’s impossible for anyone but Kouzuki family members top take over. Instead of taking a large organization filled with connection .he tries to make an organization that allows his will to go smoothly even if it’s small. Shiba-san should be thinking that way .That’s right.
Then that means.
In short.the ones who are aiming to be the top of Kouzuki group has to be from Kouzuki house. Without the Kouzuki name, you won’t be able to keep this large organization after all
I remember Shirasaka Hiromitsu from Osaka earlier.
Mr. Shirasaka Hiromitsu has risen to the representative of Osaka TV and newspaper company of Shirasaka house. Hiromitsu himself.has lived in Osaka since his father’s generation is a affiliate of Shirasaka house. But still.even if an affiliate.it’s no doubt that being a member of Shirasaka house boosted his advancement. Family name.blood connections as a big meaning after all.
In the first place.Kouzuki Noboru belonged to therising factiondespite being a member of Kouzuki house shows his ambition
For prince faction.lineage is everything
Therefore.Kouzuki Souji’s father who’s closely related to Jii-chan’s blood is bossy.
Though they have the same surname.Kouzuki Satoshi’s father follows Kouzuki Souji.
If he’s on this side.Kouzuki Noboru won’t crawl his way up. .No Once again, I recall the role of Kouzuki Kenshi, Kouzuki Noboru’s son in theprivate school. While he belongs to the rising faction.I think that he speaks like a coordinator of the whole group. And, he also appeals his presence to the other students and Jii-chan.
Well.that’s how it is
Margo-san said.
Thinking logically.Kouzuki Noboru is the center of the traitors. The others has no reason to do such things
And.I think that Kouzuki Noboru is trying to make the prince faction and the rising faction his own minions.
Namely.his agent in the rising faction is Takagi Fuuta’s father.
And on the prince faction, he persuaded Tsunoda’s father.
Tsunoda.why, you?
Kouzuki Souji’s father tries to blame Tsunoda’s father but.
Well yeah, that person don’t care who’s his boss! As long as it’s convenient for him!
Nei-san said.
Kouzuki Souji’s father is trying to be a good subordinate of Jii-chan. That tendency won’t change even with Misuzu an Ruriko’s generation. He’s satisfied being the number 2, 3 of the entire Kouzuki house. You’d normally hate to be in that position but.if you’re number two or three by name anyway, you won’t make any strife in the house. As long as people like Kouzuki Souji’s father sticks below. Tsunoda’s father can only be the aide of the number two(or number three) But.if Kouzuki Noboru succeeds in the coup. If you kill the other successor candidates and snatch the position of head from Jii-chan. Then Tsunoda’s father who’s a follower can become the number two of the organization at once. Tsunoda’s father lost to that temptation.
Even if you guess from every possibility.I think that there’s no mistake that Kouzuki Noboru is the center of the traitors
Margo-san declared.
ButKakka. He said that it was too obvious to make a connection of enemies from Russia coming through Niigata to Kouzuki Noboru. For him to purposely making such evidence.
Reika speaks her doubts.
Well.I think it’s a fake that’s just making you think too much about it like this. You’d think that they won’t do something so obvious.you’ll look away your doubt
I think.
But, Margo-san.
Nah.that’s just overthinking
She’s laughing with Nei-san
Kouzuki Noboru is just thinks that this is his only chance and threw all of his chips. Therefore, he’s using whatever he can use. Who cares if there’s evidence left. Anything will do. The bottom lines is that he just have to kill all the people with power other than himself.
.I see.
There’s not much deep thinking. He’s the type that would just push it by force.
Remember this.humans think about things by their own standard. Kouzuki-san is very cautious and deliberate, isn’t he? Therefore.he thought that the traitor would be acting with such deep thought Margo-san explains.
No.it’s wrong. Kouzuki-san intentionally shows us a biased perspective, and see if we will reach the truth or not
Jii-chan’s testing us.
Either way.the case this time is supposed to be unforeseen even for Kouzuki Noboru. I don’t think that Kouzuki Noboru is connected with Cesario Viola before
True.Viola’s visit to Japan has been decided because Nei-san’s file has been leaked out.
And compared to that.Kouzuki Noboru’s cooperation is too early,
Perhaps.Kouzuki Noboru has been planning a coup for a long time, and may have infiltrated his pieces in Kouzuki security service? That’s when he happened to catch information that Cesario Viola would be coming to Japan.then, they ask who could connect them and he decided to act to cooperate together in a hurry?
Yeah.it’s been a long time since the suspicious people have entered the Kouzuki security service guards.
That’s Kouzuki Noboru’s preparation for a coup before. Tsunoda’s father and Takagi’s father have already been persuaded. Then.Cesario Viola’s visit started Kouzuki Noboru’s plan. That’s how it happened.
.Then there’s someone who connected Kouzuki Noboru and Cesario Viola?
Seki-san asks.Nei-san laughs.
Isn’t that obvious.it’s Miss Cordelia!
The mysterious woman who suddenly appeared with the other pair of white Viola.
Perhaps.he’s an executive of the upper organization supervising Cesario Viola.
It seems Miss Cordelia has been explained to Seki-san while they were waiting for the elevator to arrive.
She didn’t ask any further questions
.Umu. That’s quite a good reasoning
Looking back.chief Tanizawa is in front of the door.
He’s applauding us
It is asKakkasaid.you people are quite talented
.Does that mean?
Jii-chan already knows that Kouzuki Noboru is the traitor? Knowing that.he’s testing if we can reach the same reasoning?
.Enter
Chief Tanizawa calls the top elite guard member in the room.
We will be taking Tsunoda and Takagi. The other people will be evacuated to another room. My guards would be taking charge, not the security department
Chief Tanizawa tells the executives.
.Haa? Interrogation? It’s already night, you too
Leaking a sigh, Tsunoda’s father cracks a joke
It’s not that much. We’re just going to make confirmations. Most of it are already known.
Chief Tanizawa says calmly
It’s about time my men come in contact with Kouzuki Noboru-san who’s hiding in his villa in Hakone
As expected.
Jii-chan knew it all from the start.
But, to be honest.it’s a pity that three traitors have appeared from the board of directors
Chief Tanizawa instructs his subordinates with his eyes
The two guards tries to bring Tsunoda’s father and Takagi’s father.
Ah, I’ll go too
The son, Takagi Fuuta tries to stick with his father
i.
Tsunoda’s stunned by his father’s betrayal
He didn’t know about it
.Tsunoda, you stay here
Kouzuki Souji says.
Souji-sama?
Kakkasaid.bonds from childhood are important The father and sons are different people. I have never doubted your loyalty. Stay by our side.Tsunoda
Prince faction’s boss’s words, Tsunoda.
Souji-sama.I, I!
Tears fall from his eyes.
Kouzuki Satoshi pats the back of Tsunoda lightly
Yeah.you are you
Tsunoda’s father turned to Kouzuki Souji.
Sorry.please take care of my son
He bows his head.
That’s nothing to worry about Don’t mind it
Kouzuki Souji tells Tsunoda’s father.
Tanizawa-kun.just who is this kid? Your subordinate? He’s with Seki-san and Fujimiya-san but
Kouzuki Souji’s father looks at us, then asked.
.No way. I don’t hire high school students
Then, who are you?
The eyes of the room gathered at us
.It’s Kuromori!
Nei-san smiled.then said
Kuromori.that Kuromori?
Eh.Father, you know them?
Kouzuki Souji asks his father but.
There’s no way he would tell about Kuromori’s brothel to his son
No, that’s.too early for you!
What are you talking about, father?
Yeah, it seems that the executives of Kouzuki group are familiar withKuromori
Actually, there’s no one from them who has ever bought a prostitute in the mansion but.
But, why Kuromori house?
The manager of prostitutes come into this place.Michi rampages, and everyone had a reasoning contest.
Kouzuki Souji’s father shows his doubt.
Well.you can askKakkafor that
Margo-san pushes the troubels to Jii-chan
Anyway, evacuate in hurry.we should think that Takagi-san and Tsunoda-san’s phone has already sent the specific location of this room to the enemy
Seki-san hurries the executives.
Now, everyone in here should start moving according to my instructions, Goto, Kashimada, take care of them
.Roger
Chief Tanizawa orders, and the top elite men begin guiding the executives and the young mern.
.As expected, you’re Shirasaka Yukino!
Kouzuki Satoshi brings Tsunoda and comes in front of Yukino
Now what?
Yukino answers annoyed
Let’s date next time. I know some good shops
Kouzuki Satoshi invites Yukino but.
No, you’re not my type
Yukino rejects coldly
I see.by the way, you know it don’t you?
Kouzuki Satoshi looks at me.
.What?
You’re definitely going to bring some Otoshimae
what?
You don’t get it? Are you an idiot? You’re the lady killer who made these guys’ princess fall. He’s saying that he won’t allow you to not pay Otoshimae!
Yukino explained.
We can just have a party hosted by Yo-chan!
Nei-san speaks fro the side.
Eat and drink all you can.that’s fine isn’t it?
Kouzuki Satoshi shows a grinning face.
Of course, are you ladies coming too? Dressed as a bunny girl or something!
I won’t do that! It’s Yo-chan’s Otoshimae after all!
Nei-san laughs.
Yo-chan.do you want me to wear bunny girl suit?
No, don’t want We don’t want to see that either! Then, let’s make it a friendship party between men!
A men’s only party?
Well, fine.anyway, you’re gonna pay your troubles, okay!
Saying that, Kouzui Souji takes Tsunoda and head to the evacuation line.
But.I don’t have money to open a party though
Those guys won’t settle unless it’s a high class shop.
Just borrow some money from Katsun or Sensei. It’s for Mii-chan after all!
.What? If Yo-chan doesn’t show that he’s generous then Mi-chan would be ashamed
.I see
If Misuzu aims to be the owner of Kouzuki house. Then, she has to be with those students even if she doesn’t like it. Rather, they have to become good subordinates. I can’t afford to have her have ill relationship with them because of me.
Got it. I’ll think about it
Consult it with Mi-chan and Ruri-cha! Of course, you can consult with us too!
.Yeah
Misuzu and Ruriko won’t know what kind of shops they would give okay to. No, if I’m not hospitable beyond their imagination.it’s not just me but Misuzu would also be made fool of. Money isn’t a problem. It’s something that must be done as a successor of Kouzuki.
When the executives and their children left the room.
Chief Tanizawa comes to us.
I understnad why Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san are nowhere seen
Seki-san tells the chief
Oh?Where do you think the two are?
They were guarding Misuzu-sama and Ruriko-sama’s parents, right? .That’s it
Chief Tanizawa admits.
The fact that Kouzuki Noboru started a coup.means that at the same time they attack the hotel, Ruriko-sama and Misuzu-sama’s family would be attacked as well.
In order to kill all of the successor candidates, you have to send the assassin’s at the same time.
Ootoku and Choumoto shows asKakka’sguards in the theater.making the enemy careless
From the theater.each of them secretly moved to protect Misuzu and Ruriko’s family.
Therefore, we can’t see Ootoku-san.
I thought that it’s okay to have you and Fujimiya-kun asKakka’sguards.
Chief Tanizawa looks at the two.
It’sKakka’simperial order why we came out
Reika tells her boss.
I know. Kakkanotified me. By the way.
Chief stares at Reika
Fujimiya-kun.why are you dressed like that?
Reika’s not on her usual British gentleman look.
She’s wearing a yellow jersey on top and bottom Her face has no make up
I’ve thought about various things.
Reika bows her head to her boss.
I’m reflecting on myself up until now
.Reflecting? Up until now.I have been a woman who’s drunk on her ownaesthetics
.Reika
Therefore.I took off my false armor and decided to start over from such a figure!
Chapter 303
Chapter 303. Tell Cesario Viola.
Let me ask just in case.you’re not going to stop dressing like a man and stick with that jersey from now on?
Chief Tanizawa asks Reika.
well.there’s no other change of clothes. It’s not that I’m fixated with jerseys
I feel relieved to hear that. Fujimiya-kun’s dressed up as a dignified is popular with certain customers and.I can’t let you guard VIPs in that look
As expected.her British gentleman attire limits her customers she could guard.
Although VIPs can’t be guarded unless it’s a team.the team can’t unite if one looks offbeat. Fujimiya-kun has the ability but.that ability is used to support someone. But, Fujimiya-kun’s personality had never been under someone until now Chief Tanizawa’s words turn Reika sorry.
Hey hey.what really happened? If it was Fujimiya-kun before then he would be one-sidedly retorting sayingChief, let me tell youor something
.It is as Chief said
Reika answers with a red face.
Umu.earlier, isn’t Seki-kun and Kudou’s daughter teaming up with Fujimiya-kun properly. Usually, you’d be crashing with whatever Seki-kun says.turning it around and making a follow-up
Yeah.each of them acted knowing what their roles are.
Seki-san took the official response.Michi was the one who took the role to confuse the place to drive out the traitor. Reika hid herself so she could fight quickly when the moment comes. They’ve become a proper team.
Even though Fujimiya-kun didn’t listen to my recommendation and said that she’d do it alone, not teaming up with anyone. Just what the hell did he do to turn the tides?
Hearing the word ‘team’, Reika.
It’s all thanks to Lord.
.Lord?
.Bad.
We can’t just let him know that Reika and I are inKuromori family
Fujimiya-san became Misuzu-sama and Ruriko-sama’s full time guard.
Just in time, Seki-san made a follow-up.
Kakka.has judged that they should have a full time guard with them
.I haven’t heard about it however? It was just a while ago.I think thatKakkawill notify you soon
Seki-san look up at the surveillance camera of the room.
Either way, Jii-chan and others are watching this at the basement. If we tell chief Tanizawa properly.it’ll appeal their eyes.
I see. Then it means that Misuzu-sama and Ruriko-sama is now her boss and that changed Fujimiya-kun’s sense?
.I don’t want embarrass my lord
Reika said embarrassed.
If your cross dressing hobby is cured, then I want you to work more as a top elite but.It can’t be helped if you’re Misuzu-sama and Ruriko-sama’s full time guard. You can choose from the young guys under me Yes.chief?
Reika’s surprised
You need subordinates if you’re now Misuzu-sama and Ruriko-sama’s full time guard. Oh, you can only chose female guards if it’s the two of them. Kudou’s little girl.Oh wait, you’re on Kuromori house now Right.
Michi was a temporary recruited in Kouzuki security service but.chief Tanizawa already approved of her participation inKuromori
But.that’s regretable. With that much skill, you could’ve aimed for the youngest record of our top elites
Chief Tanizawa said but.
Chief, you don’t hire high school students, didn’t you say?
Well, that’s true.the youngest one ever was Fujimiya-kun. I scouted her when I saw her during her second year high school athletic meet.but still, she officially joined after graduating
Reika’s a good swordswoman as expected.
Well fine.Margo-ojouchan and Kyouko could train you until you grow up. That girl might change her mind sooner or later anyway Then, I hope you join us
Kouzuki security service is a normal company so it’s impossible to employ a middle school student officially.
Other than entering Kudou-papa’s underground force.theGuard Department
But still, that Kyouko, even though she joined in Kuromori house due toKakka’sorder.she’ completely taking root over there.
Right.
Kyouko-san originally came toKuromoriby Jii-chan’s orders.
She’s just easy going. We’re all just women.in the first place, Kyouko-san is basically free. She had an individual contract with Kouzuki-san but.she never did a job for Kouzuki security service Margo-san answers.
I want her to belong to us though
Chief Tanizawa said
Kyouko, Margo-ojouchan, and Kudou’s daughter.I want all the talented people to stay in our company
You mean you want everyone to be under your control? Nah.I’m different fromKakka I’m not a perverted old man. There’s a possibility that those who aren’t in our company becomes hostile. We don’t want to fight you
Chief Tanizawa has the resolve as a professional guard.
It’s possible that today’s ally can become enemy tomorrow.
Especially a dangerous woman like Kyouko, I’d like to leave her loose as much as possible
Chief Tanizawa smiles wryly.
I don’t think there’s a possibility.Misuzu-san has lost all of the possibility of going hostile against Kouzuki-san
Margo-san answers.
.Yeah. Right now, we don’t have any reason to confront Kouzuki security service. In the first place, Jii-chan entered ourfamily. Of course, we can’t tell chief Tanizawa that. Unless Jii-chan tells chief Tanizawa at his own discretion. We should keep this matter a secret.
.Well I hope so
Chief sighs.
This guy’s position has a lot of things to worry about.
I see, that’s interesting.does it mean that Kuromori house who’s supposed to be a prostitution organization is gradually expanding?
.What, who?
Turning back.it is. .Kouzuki Kenshi?
You.why are you still here?
Seki-san asks, Kouzuki Kenshi.
I’ve got nowhere to go
He smiled.
Finding out that my father is a traitor.I can’t go to the same room as the others. However, I have not heard anything from my father so even if I’m interrogated, nothing would come out. In the first place, I myself don’t think of betrayingKakka Look.didn’t Souji-san say a while ago? The father and sons are are different people.I have no responsibility for my father’s betrayal!
Kouzuki Kenshi says calmly
Therefore, I thought I’m going to follow everyone here
Follow us?
You’re joking.our destination is just filled with danger!
Nei-san says, but.
It’s dangerous wherever you go to the hotel right now, isn’t it? In that case, there’s a possibility of me being saved if I’m near with you all
You may not know it but.theenemyis aiming to attack me you know? I’m prepared for it.I have no other way out
.What?
In order for me to gainKakka’strust.I have no choice but to put myself in danger. As of now.I have nowhere to put myself into
What to do.Yo-chan?
Nei-san looks at me.
.I
Follow us if you want.but, we won’t be protecting you. If you’re fine with that, then.
If you look it from the third person’s eye.it’s good to have a sense of tension.
Besides.Kouzuki Kenshi isn’t an idiot. I think that we can use Kenshi’s eyes to detect danger like Yukino.
Oh, so you really are the boss of these people
In exchange.the danger would burden himself.
Are you really sure? Yo-chan?
I think that it’s better to have a person with a completely different perspective from us
I said
Even if we say something.I only feel that we will only see the situation on the same direction
Margo-san and Nei-san’s judgement and insight are reliable but.
It’s better to have more offbeat viewpoints. We don’t know what’s going to happen from now on.
Okay, then let’s take him with us
Margo-san acknowledged.
However, you have to protect yourself.we will never help you
.I know Everyone too, don’t ever help him out.there’s a possibility that you would fall into danger if you try to save him and everyone in the team would be caught in dilemma .Roger
Michi answers.
Yes.he’s not a member of the team, not even a a person to guard
Reika makes a clear explanation.
Sorry but we’re going to abandon you when we need to. Is that okay
Seki-san said.
.Guys
Suddenly.Yukino opens her mouth.
Just what position do I have in here? Will anyone save me when I’m in danger?
Seki-san sighs.
You’re a part of the team. We’ll save you when needed
That’s what I think from the start
Reika answered too
.That said, don’t go to danger on purpose
Michi stares at Yukino.
Really.are you sure? Am I really a member of the team?
Yukino’s confused.
Well.it’s decided by Yo-chan so it can’t be helped!
Nei-san said.Yukino looked at me.
Yo-chan puts people who are really useful in the team.
Yeah.Yukino’s eyes are useful
Therefore.I think that Kouzuki Kenshi-san’s eyes would be useful as well
I answered.
What do you mean.Seki-kun isn’t holding the leadership?
Chief Tanizawa looked at us and asked curiously
Ah.it’s a parliamentary system. Look, we’re a joint team with Kuromori house!
Seki-san tries to fool him but.
It only looks to me that he has the one with the huge right to speak though
Chief Tanizawa looks at me.
Well you see.he’s the only boy. We’ve got to respect his opinion
Seki-san’s answer is incomprehensible.
I’m a guy too though
Kouzuki Kenshi tries to retort but.
You’re not a member of the team are you?
Nei-san immediately rejects.
Rather than that, Tanizawa-san.I’d like to check the current situation
Margo-san changes topic.
Oh yeah.then let’s take a look
Chief Tanizawa launches the computer in this conference room.
Inserting is personal ID.typing in a password.
I’ll show it in the big monitor over there
The current situation is displayed to the monitor in the conference room.
Theenemyhas come up to the 16th floor.but, 60% of the enemy forces have already been defeated. The guys Kudou brought did their best and had no dropouts.but they’re quite exhausted
Though they’re taking turns.it’s a battlefield.
Even the strong free guards are almost reaching the peak of their fatigue.
It’s about the defeated enemies.are they all just Russian thugs?
Margo-san asks.
Yeah.as far as we can see, the people we have engaged so far are only Russians.
In short.the main people Cesario Viola had brought from US are still alive and well
It’s bad.we don’t know where the core of theenemyis
Seki-san said
I guess we shake things up a bit
Margo-san looks at Nei-san
.Nei
Sure. That’s what I was thinking too!
.What?
Tanizawa-san.what floor is the current defense line of this hotel set in?
Margo-san asks, chief Tanizawa.
Between 22nd and 23rd floor.we don’t want to have them pass through further than that
Then.should we go on the 21st floor Okay, Maru-chan!
Margo-san looks at the conference room.
Of course.there’s filming equipment here. Can we broadcast the footage taken from this place?
It’s possible with my pass, but?
We’re broadcasting at the whole building?
Then, should we stimulate Cesario Viola!
Nei-san smiles
.Lights, should be like this?
Though he doesn’t know what’s going on.Kouzuki Kenshi works happily
Why are you having fun? He’s adjusting the angle of the lighting that was in the storage of the conference room.
Ah, don’t let it light up my chest so much.try to focus on my face
Nei-san instructs him.
Yes.like this?
Yeah.the chest got dark
Nei-san’s splendid breasts blends into the darkness.
Yeah.that’s good I guess?
Margo-san checks
Okay!
Nei-san ties up her hair to ponytail
Nei-san, ponytail suits you
I said.
You see.Cesario Viola likes this. He always makes Kei-chan have that hairstyle
.I see.
Nei-san would be showing as Kei-san in the broadcast. Trying to provoke Cesario Viola! Nei-san’s originally wearing black pants and suit today. The ultimate beauty is going to become a handsome boy.
Camera’s ready
Seki-san operates the videocam.
Nei-san’s face appears in the monitor of the conference room.
For now, it’s only in this room.the access key to the whole hotel broadcast has to be given by chief Tanizawa
Wait a minute.
Chief Tanizawa operates the terminal and made this access the entire broadcast from this room
Yo-chan come here!
Nei-san calls me.
Yes, what is it?
When I came close.Nei-san
Yo-chan.would you catch a grenade for me?1
.I
Of course.Nei-san
I’ve already made a decision in my heart.
Thanks.then
Nei-san holds my hand.
Yo-chan.come with me
.Nei-san
Nei-san’s hands are cold. Her face shows her usual smile but.her hand is trembling. To say that she’ll show up before Cesario Viola. Nei-san’s scared inside.
If it’s for Nei-san.
I.
I’ll do anything!
Ten seconds.8, 7, 6, 5, 4.Cue!
At the same time Seki-san’s voice comes.the red lamp in the camera lights up.
It’s streaming. Video.and audio too. It’s being broadcasted to the speakers and monitors of this hotel.
.Attention!!
Then.Nei-san speaks in fluent English
It’s different from Nei-san’s usual voice.a slightly lower tone. As she hold my hand tightly. Nei-san acts as Kei-san. I don’t get what she’s talking about at all. But, Nei-san’s voice has the sadness plucked from her heart. Nei-san’s English speech lasted for about a minute. .Then. Lastly, Nei-san pulls me. I’m shown in the camera. Nei-san said something in English, and then. She kissed me. Then.she smiled at the camera. A cruel smile.
.Cut!
The red light in the camera disappears.
Ufufufufu.Yo-chan, Yo-chan, Yo-chaan〜!
Nei-san hugs me.
Her rich breasts is pushed against me.
I said it! I told Viola!
Nei-san rubs her cheeks to me.
what did you say?
Nei-san smiles.
At first.I pretended to be like Kei-chan, and saidMr. Viola, why aren’t you coming to see me? I’m lonely
.Hmmhmm
Then.I’ve been waiting for Mr. Viola to come on the 21st floor. But, I already got tired of waiting.I said
i see.
I hate Mr. Viola now. I found someone I love even more. He’s my new boyfriend. I’m madly in love with him. I thought of dedicating my mind and body to him!
.Does that mean?
I love him. Love, love, love him so much.goodbye, Mr. Viola. I wish we never see each other again
.Oh
If you feel frustrated then come up to the 21st floor.either way, you don’t have that courage!
Nei-san smiles
Did you seriously say that?
I did! Gufufufufu! Take that bastard! Viola you idiot, Bakaa!
Nei-san laughs out loud while hugging me.
Her laughing body is trembling.
.Yo-chan, hug me
Nei-san whispers small in my ears.
Sure.Nei-san
Stronger.hug me tight! .Nei-san
Nei-san’s desperately fighting right now
With Viola. I want to support her with all my strength. This person.
I.love Nei-san.
1. Would you risk your life for me?
Chapter 304
Chapter 304. Nei and Yasuko
How’s the enemy movement Tanizawa-san?
Margo-san asks Chief Tanizawa.
Umu, there’s a change.the group that’s been waiting from behind starts climbing up forcefully
Wow.is that Cesario Viola’s main team?
In that case, what an easy to understand guy. Chief Tanizawa puts the surveillance camera video of the hotel to the monitor. There’s a group of 30 people walking in the hotel corridor.
From their appearance, you can’t identify them since they all wear black combat clothes just like the other teams.
Chief Tanizawa shows another image of an enemy unit on a different floor to compare.
But still.this team has a leader. You can tell that this is a unit trained on a regular basis
True.the other teams aren’t assembled well, falling apart, walking poorly.
The team that seems to be Cesario Viola’s troops are gathered neatly
That said.they’re not people who received proper military training. As expected, it’s just the sense of unity from a crime group. There’s someone among the leaders with military experience, and he’s forming the group based on his knowledge. It’s no big deal Chief Tanizawa judged.
.Hmm The surveillance camera shows the person who’s instructing the subordinates on the rear unit. That guy has a red armband along with the black combat clothing
He’s the leader of the troop
Then, that means that he’s Cesario Viola?
Seki-san and chief Tanizawa reviews the screen.
Nah.that guy’s Giuliano
Nei-san said.
One of Cesario Viola’s staff, Giuliano Jenka?
Chief Tanizawa confirms it with Nei-san.
Nei’s been kidnapped by Cesario Viola when she’s a child, so she lived with them for a while
Margo-san said.
That’s why I can tell.that body shape and way of talking
Nei-san gazes at the footage of the surveillance camera.
Ah.that guy has a blue armband right? That’s Romeo Motague. Then, there’s the guy with the silver armband.that guy’s.
Cesario Viola?
Chief Tanizawa speaks ahead.
No.that guy’s!
Nei-san’s surprised.
Lorenzaccio Bandini!
Lorenzaccio Bandini?
Wait, If I recall that guy’s?
He was around the baseball ground trying to snipe us.didn’t Kudou-papa and Neko-san capture him?
Furthermore, a bomb was planted in his body.I felt like it has gone serious.
Oh, if it’s Lorenzaccio Bandini, then we’re holding him down.though, he’s not spitting out any information.
Chief Tanizawa answers.
I see.it was a fake
Margo-san said.
The Bandini that was caught is a fake
Why would they do that?
Seki-san asks.
Who knows, I don’t know what’s going on the other side but.maybe they want us to think that Lorenzaccio Bandini isn’t important for Cesario Viola?
Making us think that he’s just a small guy that can be disposable as a bomb before the fight?
But, why is he showing on the screen imposingly right now?
I wonder.
If we have the fakes captured by us then they should hide it all the time.
I don’t know.do they think that we can’t tell through the surveillance cameras alone? Are they not thinking that Nei would be checking this way? No, that’s not the case.
Margo-san is also confused.
We just had Nei-san provoke Cesario Viola via broadcast. They know that Nei-san, our center should be familiar with the enemy.
Lorenzaccio Bandini’s holding a rifle
Nei-san said.
Wow, it’s true. Oh right, he was a 6th at Ohio state tournament. We must pay attention to snipers.
Anyway, Giuliano Jenka, Romeo Montagu, Lorenzaccio Bandini. So, where’s the main, Cesario Viola?
Chief Tanizawa looks at Nei-san.
.I don’t know
Nei-san desperately looks at the screen but.
I think that he’s one of those black clothes that don’t have any armband.
Cesario Viola’s blending with the general combatant?
Won’t you be able to tell if you check the behavior of the executives? Cesario Viola’s going to instruct them sooner or later , right?
Seki-san says, but.
No.Giuliano is good at commanding the troop.so Mr. Viola would leave it to Giuliano and never come out
Nei-san answers.
Could it be that they’re fooling our eyes with this troop and that Cesario Viola is in another unit?
Kouzuki Kenshi who’s been listening all this time has spoken.
I don’t think that’s the case.Viola himself isn’t a man with high fighting ability. If the leaders are in this unit then Mr. Viola should be here
Nei-san answers.
I think so too. Perhaps, this 30 people group is the only people Viola had brought from America. I don’t think that Mr. Viola would be blending with the Russian thugs he can’t communicate with words alone Margo-san judges.
Nei.Tell chief Tanizawa, Seki-san, Reika-oneesan and Michij-chan about Mr. Viola, and his men Giuliano Jenka and others
Margo-san tells Nei-san
Maru-chan.but
In fact, only Nei has met them.even if it’s trivial, it might become a hint.anyway, try to talk it over Yeah, it’s precious information. I would like to ask but.it doesn’t matter if it is already covered by the file our information department has compiled. Tell us what you know
Chief Tanizawa urges Nei-san.
yeah. You see.
Nei-san begins to talk
.Come here
Margo-san calls me taking that as a chance.
.What is it?
Margo-san whispers to me at the corner of the room.
Don’t ever leave Nei.make sure Nei stays as Nei
.Nei-san as Nei-san?
Don’t let her go back from Natou Nei to Najima Yasuko
Margo-san speaks to me with serious eyes.
The bright personality of Nei right now is made up. After her twin brother, Kei has died.Minaho, Kyouko and, Nei herself took a lot of time to make adifferent personalitythat’s different from her original personality. It is to cover Nei’s sadness, hatred, and self-destructive impulses.
.Self destructive impulses? Nei.no, Yazuko.thinks that Kei’s death is her own fault. She thinks that she should die on the same gruesome death as Kei
.Nei-san
Yasuko is a mentally weak girl. From the day her parents were killed, kidnapped by Viola.she’s been living in fear all this time
Kidnapped.lived her days with murder criminals.
Furthermore.Viola’s aim was the twin brother so Yasuko was left as a worthless woman
Viola’s a homo so he kidnapped Kei-san as a sex pet.
Nei-san.a woman has no worth for Viola. Rather, Kei-san succumbed to Viola’s rule in order to guarantee Nei-san’s life. That’s what’s gnawing to Nei-san’s heart.
Though it’s a made up personality.a personality is a personality1 I like Nei. Aren’t you the same?
Margo-san asks me.
Yes.I also like Nei-san
I want Nei-san to smile like always.
Last night, when Nei-san was talking about her past in America.she reverted to Yasuko. I don’t want to see that weak and crying Nei-san anymore.
As long as you’re by her side.Nei can stay as Nei
.Margo-san?
Nei.is looking for potential partner she can depend on. Furthermore.it has to be abrother
Nei-san wants abrother
You’ve already become a huge presence in Nei.furthermore, Nei also acknowledges that you’re a differentbrotherfrom Kei Therefore, as long as she feels you as herbrother.Nei can remain as Nei. Yasuko won’t come back Margo-san looks strongly at me.
Understood.I’ll never leave Nei-san’s side
I promised.
Thanks.also
Margo-san said.
It’s psychologically possible but. Nei might try to become Kei in front of Mr. Viola
.Kei-san?
Because they’re twins.Nei has always felt her own brother in the mirror
Yeah.Nei-san feels her face is the shadow of Kei-san’s image.
Coming on a male pants suit today as well.acting like Kei in the broadcast earlier.I think her fear of viola and the feeling of wanting to clear up her regret with Kei are mixing up
I think so too
By acting as Kei-san.she can feel Kei-san close to her and she can overcome her fear of Viola.
If Nei-san becomes a full swing Kei-san.what should I do?
Margo-san thinks for a while.
.It’s better than her returning to Yasuko’s personality. Yasuko’s heart is too delicate and weak.when she confronts Viola then her heart would break. If she can keep her mind by becoming Kei.then it’s better to leave her like that Therefore.Margo-san let Nei-san act as Kei-san during the broadcastl
But.Nei is Nei. She’s not Kei. Nei is a woman!
.That’s right.
Nei-san’s mind and body are of a woman. She can’t become a man
Sorry but.I want you to stay by her side and watch out for her
Margo-san tells me.
I have to concentrate on fighting from now on. If not, everyone won’t be able to survive!
Margo-san’s also desperate.
Leave Nei-san to me. I’ll do my best
Yeah.thanks
Margo-san looks warmly at Nei-san who’s talking to chief Tanizawa.
That girl’s my preciouslittle sister!
Umu.the information is roughly the same as the reports. Is Romeo Motague the only one with military experience? But, Giuliano Jenka has a better skill at commanding subordinates?
.He’s also brutal
Nei-san answers Chief Tanizawa’s question
But.I heard that Cesario Viola’s hobby is disguising, that even his family won’t know him
Yeah.only Lorenzaccio Bandini and his dead sister knows the real Viola You don’t know as well?
Chief Tanizawa stares at Nei-san
If I hear him speak on the same room, then I might find it out. But, it has been years already.
Nei-san might not discover him at the moment.
Then how do they work? If nobody knows who Viola is then there’s a lot of trouble in the behaviors right
Well.Lorenzaccio Bandini is the person that speaks and receives instruction from Viola. Hmm.Then, Lorenzaccio Bandini can control who is Viola
.Ah
Chief Tanizawa’s surprised from that.
Could it be that they put some Viola imposters in the troop.Lorenzaccio Bandini who’s pretending to be ordered by Viola is actually the one commanding the whole troops?
There’s that possibility too.
But, I know Bandini and he’s not an intelligent man. He’s just vulgar, crude, and flashy.though he’s the manager of Viola, I think he’s not a person who can command a combat unit.
Nei-san answers.
Tsk.we won’t know it from there then, Just thinking about it won’t give results. Should I tell Kudou to send a unit to recon?
Chief Tanizawa said.
When it comes to actual combat.the command system is made clear. More than anything.I want to shave off a number from those 30 people
But.that’s Cesario Viola’s main team.
Won’t Kudou-papa be in danger is he goes directly like usual?
It’s difficult to attack from the upper floor. Should I deploy two troops on the route? If we don’t crush them first, we won’t bump into Viola’s corps
The route from the first floor to the upper floor is divided into several routes by closing fire doors and shutters.
Viola’s main troops are now in seventh floor. On that route.there’s another team on the 11th and 15th floors. In order to attack from upstairs, you have to defeat the two groups that are ahead.
Can we not go from below?
Kouzuki Kenshi asks.
.From below?
Yes. From the first floor.if I recall, the ordinary uniformed guards should’ve evacuated outside the hotel. We can recall them and send them from below. The enemy would never think that they would be attacked from behind. That’s an interesting idea but.it’s impossible for the uniformed men to compete with Viola
Chief Tanizawa said.
Can you do something with the numbers? If we rush in around 200 people.then even those American group can’t respond
Perish the though.are you going to cover Kouzuki security service with death threats? If we want to take down theenemythen we need to sacrifice that much. I believe that all the employees of Kouzuki security service have the resolve to die at their duty.
Oh.this guy’s a son of the rich.
That kind of reason won’t go through
I’m not a demon who would throw people knowing they would die
Chief Tanizawa looks at Kouzuki Kenshi with eyes of scorn.then said
That’s right.should we try using that?
Suddenly, he came up with something?Chief Tanizawa takes out his phone
Speaking of which, there were talented people who are good for reconnaissance.
.Is that?
Who?
1. Welcome to the Velvet Room
Chapter 305
Chapter 305 The man with the scent of Showa
.Yes, hello, it’s me. Are you still close by?
Chief Tanizawa’s calling someone.
I don’t care about being betrayed. I know how people like you move at those times so that’s fine
Chief Tanizawa took a breath then goes to the main subject.
Could you come back for a bit?Yes, it’s a job request. The pay would be twice than usual. When you withdrew from the hotel, your contract with those guys are done, isn’t it? Then earn a bit more A person who had withdrawn from the hotel.
.The job specifics is reconnaissance. The troop that seems to be the main enemy group.is around 30 people, you jump in and reduce them to around 20. If you defeat the leaders then you’ll also have some bonus. That’s all. You don’t have to annihilate them After a while.
Okay, then I’ll triple the pay. What about that?Okay, that’s a deal. Hah, I thought that you would give me a pleasant reply. Contact me when you arrive at the first floor lobby of the hotel. I’ll be securing you a direct route.
Chief Tanizawa grinned.
Thanks.Dai Grepher!
.Dai Grepher?
It’s Different dimension warrior Dai Grepher! When he ended the call, chief Tanizawa looked at us and said.
Now then, I’ll invite you guys to my secret base
.Secret base
Come with me
Chief Tanizawa heads out of the conference room.
Huh.Director Yamaoka’s still depressed.
What are you doing? Yamaoka?
.Tanizawa-san
Director Yamaoka looks up at chief powerlessly
I’m no good.
Who cares.it’s just annoying if you’re going to be depressed right there. Do you get that? .Sorry You’re still on duty. Who cares whatever it is, do what you can. Move your body But.I no longer have my men in this hotel
Chief Tanizawa looks at the two giant guards at the entrance and Kudou-mama
.Don’t you still have three people left?
We can’t do nothing with three people
Chief Tanizawa leaks a sigh.
Even though there’s going to be a free guard who’s going to plunge into the enemy main force and yet.are you an idiot?
I don’t know what I should do right now.
Director Yamaoka’s hanging his head.
I see. Then I’ll take the people you have with you
Chief Tanizawa looks at the two giants.
You two go to the 25th floor with my men.you know the faces of the elites don’t you? Take Shindo’s guidance. Secure the people from Shirasaka house. Use the route 4B. Get it?
.Yes Then hurry up .Roger!
The two giants look down on director Yamaoka and exit in small steps
Kudou Etsu-chan, come with me. I’ll have you work at the HQ
But.Kudou-mama
Chief.I
What? Worried about Yamaoka? .Yes
Kudou-mama squats down and pats Director Yamaoka’s shoulders.
Are you abandoning your work too?
I can’t leave him alone .Etsuko I’ll stay by your side.okay?
Yamaoka embraces Kudou-mama and cries
I.I.Etsuko!
I know.I know that you’re doing your best. I’m the only one who knows!
Yamaoka’s comforted by Kudou-mama
Kudou, and now him.why are you always being attracted by useless guys?
Chief Tanizawa says in a tired tone.
That guy.Kudou no longer need me. But, this person.he’s useless without me.
Kudou-mama says and embraces Yamaoka.
Is that really the case?
Chief Tanizawa said unsympathetically.
Don’t you think that your attitude is what makes men more and more useless?
.That’s not true I wonder? He actually doesn’t need anyone. If you’re a man then you make mistakes at work. There are times when you fail, have bad luck, or the turn of tides are just not good. But, a man who can’t stand up by himself at that time isn’t a man I want to be by his side when he’s in a harsh situation!
Kudou-mama looks up at Chief Tanizawa.
Isn’t that just your selfish desire? Doing that, you spoil a man again.and won’t he rot? Just like with Kudou
.Don’t speak about him! No I will. When he became independent from you, that was Kudou’s first time becoming a full fledged man. Before.he was capable, but he’s naive, and a man who does uneven work .That’s not true. He’s still useless even now It’s different now. When I cancelled your duo.Kudou changed to be able to do anything alone. He got better
Chief Tanizawa said
The two you.weren’t good at working together as a duo. It was the worst. Pampering each other.there’s no strictness at work. You do rough and coarse work. Therefore, I had you two separate
Kudou-papa and Kudou-mama had been childhood friends.
Therefore.when they were novices, they are a duo as a couple. And Chief Tanizawa separated them?
It’s wrong.I’m the one who gave up on him. If I keep going with him.I will never have happiness
But, Kudou-mama doesn’t admit it. She insists that it’s her will to leave Kudou-papa
Who cares about that. Anyway, your habit of pampering men is no good. Whoever it is, men will only go rot with you
That’s for us to decide. I don’t need to be scolded by Chief Tanizawa! It is affecting Yamaoka’s work.so I’ll have to scold you hard
The room becomes quiet.
Ever since you started going out with Yamaoka.Yamaoka’s no longer working for me orKakka He’s not looking at his subordinates. He’s always been looking at you. That’s why he became like this!
That’s not true! We are doing our best! Your hard work is for others to judge! Don’t evaluate yourself!
Ah.this won’t end.
It’s just a waste of time. Kudou-mama doesn’t feel like listening to others at all .But
Uhm.Kudou-san. I don’t know about you.I don’t think this is something I should say, but.
But still.I’ve got to say this.
Don’t go justifying your own cheating calmly in front of your daughter. Do you understand how Michi feels when she’s shown her parent’s embarrassment?
Kudou-mama looks at Michi in surprise.
Michi.
.Thank you for the concern. But, I’m fine
Michi looks at her mother coldly
I don’t think of her as my mother anymore
Michi! What are you saying to your parent!
Kudou-mama throws her anger at Michi
I don’t recognize people I don’t respect as my parent
.Even though you’re just a brat!
The enraged Kudou-mama pulls Michi and tries to slap her.
Michi.didn’t try avoiding her mother’s slap. It seems she’s okay being beaten by her mother. .But
.Gatsun!
The cane sank on the concrete floor in front of her feet.Kudou-mama stopped moving!
Reika glares at Kudou-mama
.I won’t allow any further rudeness
What’s with you.don’t interfere with family business!
Kudou-mama screams.Reika!
What’s the family in there!
Reika’s eyes glare straight at Kudou-mama.
Don’t use.womanandmotherat your own convenience!
Seki-san breaks in between the two people
Fujimiya-san, calm down. Kudou-san too
Then, Seki-san looks at Director Yamaoka
Yamaoka-san.listen. You’re obsessed with this woman.you’re possessed by her
.Possessed? Yes. It’s the most disgusting way of living for a man. I despise you
Seki-san’s words are cold.
Don’t you think it’s miserable for a man and woman of this age?
.Then
Fufufufu, ahahahaha
Margo-san laughs.
.Margo-san?
You’re all wrong. You shouldn’t get mad at adults with unsightly appearances like this. Laugh at them You should just laugh to ridicule them.that’s what they taught me! Yeah, you’re right. If Kyouko-san was here she’d definitely say that!
Nei-san laughs as well
Wahahaha, so idiotic. It’s so shameful! Hey, Yo-chan laugh too!
.I
Please laugh.I think I should laugh too
Michi distorts her lips, her eyes are about to cry.she’s forcing herself to laugh
This is.this person is not my mother. I’ll laugh.I will laugh.I have to laugh
.Michi
I embrace Michi
.Master
Chief, leave them alone. It’s useless to talk to these people
Seki-san said
Umu, true
Chief Tanizawa looks at Director Yamaoka.
.You can’t go down right now and escape. Use the evacuation room on 32nd floor. The route is 8A. Keep hiding there until the enemy’s eliminated
The.he declares
From today’s date.you are both fired. You’ve done violation and abandonment of orders. This is a disciplinary discharge.you’ve got to give up
Director Yamaoka and Kudou-mama didn’t even try looking at Chief Tanizawa.
Sorry but.as you were employed by Kouzuki Security service before, it’ll be hard for you to find jobs. You can’t be recommended to the other companies. Therefore, disciplinary measures. Please think that you won’t be put into work of guarding people
Leaving director Yamaoka and Kudou-mama behind the conference room.
We walk into the hotel corridor. The members from theemergency evacuation roomalong with Chief Tanizawa and Kouzuki Kenshi, move around in large group.
It’s this room
Chief Tanizawa stopped in front of a door.
This is the primary defense line operations command room.theHeadquarters
Was there a command room on this floor?
Margo-san asks.Chief Tanizawa
No no.this whole room is an elevator room so you can move freely up and down in between 20th and 25th floor
In short, if the enemy invades on the 20th floor, you can move to the room on the upper floor?
Well, come in
Entering the room.there’s about 10 people in a room of about 20 tatami mats.
The walls are covered with a lot of monitors. It seems that the footage of the surveillance cameras on each floor are being analyzed in this room.
What’s the situation?
Chief asks a lady in glasses.
Wait.isn’t it Norma-san, Kudou-papa’s subordinate Ah, Tony-san’s here too. Speaking of which, these two were transferred from the information department of Kouzuki security service. Then that means, most of the people in this room are from information department.
Yes, the preceding troops are stopped at the 16th floor
The one that seems to be Viola’s main force? They’re rapidly rising. They’re on the 9th floor right now Dai Grepher would do a recon.build him a route
Chief looks at us.
Drop the fire doors and shutters so they can’t move in the hotel freely. Stop all of the elevators. Make all the controls possible only in this room
.Dai Grepher checked the surveillance camera at the entrance of the first floor .He’s here. Where do you think is the best way to make the shortest contact with Viola? In that case, let’s guide the enemy before the elevator hall on the 11th floor
Norma-san said
Then start up the elevator. Raise Dai Grepher-san upstairs from the first floor
.No
Isn’t that dangerous to go to the enemy using an elevator?
Okay, let’s go with that.I’ll talk with Dai Grepher
Chief Tanizawa takes out his phone.
The surveillance cameras show that Viola’s troops are in the 11th floor.
Yeah, as expected, they’re in order unlike the other units. There’s no doubt that this is a unit under someone with a knowledge on military. Passing through the corridors where the fire doors are closed.a rank of around 30 people arrived at a large elevator hall.
.!
One of the men in black combat suit points at the elevator.
Out of the three elevators where all power should be turned off. The one in the middle has its light turned on
.Wiinwiinwiin
The hidden microphone picks up the sound of the wire pulling up the elevator
.Right. The elevator’s active.and it’s rising up from the first floor. The men in black combat clothes look at their commander.the one with the red armband, Giuliano Jenka. Giuliano instruct the men with his hands. The men set up their guns and spread out in front of the elevator. Meanwhile.the elevators raise towards their floor. .Then.
.Ding!
The elevator door opens along with the sound.
The men in black combat clothes gaze inside! The one inside!
.What?
That man is.
A man’s formal Japanese clothing made of gold and silver. The head has a peculiar wig. His face is whitewashed. Could this be? Ma ken Sanba?
.Yeieeii! Wao! Yeieei! Wao!
The old man in white painted face.suddenly speaks loudly.
.Long ago, when I was Sunset Nyan nyan.my lil brother was Sunset Ron-chan
what is he talking about?
My father wasSunset Banchouand my mother was Sunset dandanon the Tokyo Yanaka Ginza shopping area. Do you get it.you don’t get it I guess.Yeieei! Wao! Yeieei! Wao!
.Uhm
What’s that.what’s his aim?
Hey hey.don’t make that kind of face. Brother. World is friend, everyone’s a brother. Beware of the doors and fire. An old man’s saying.Always burning in rosy fashion, this heart throbs. From bud to flower. I am Machiko. Yei, YayHe said! Isn’t Machiko-sensei good at this? The teacher for 25 years in his life!That’s not Machiko-sensei, it’s Machida-sensei Someone retort!Back me up! Back me up! Gatsu Koku Matsu! Shoryuken! Shouryuken! Nisshouken!Konchi Kushou! Goraa!
I don’t get it anymore!
But.all the enemies are Americans though. What are you speaking in Japanese then? Or rather, even though it’s Japanese, I don’t understand the meaning.
.Now then, let’s go
Then, the old man takes out a fan from his pocket then opens it.
And he slides out from inside the elevator.
For the second time, I renew the design of both the costume and make up! I’m the different dimension warrior Dai Grepher, I come running when I hear that there’s a festival! Ah, if you call me then I will com,e right away.Subizubaa! Papapapapan!
Then he jumped into the men armed with guns!
Now then, you guys are no human.I’ll slash you up!
Old man Dai Grepher.how do you take them down without a sword?
Chapter 306
Chapter 306. Dai Grepher dances!
.Good. He just jumped into the enemy suddenly
Margo-san mutters as she look at Different dimension warrior Dai Grepher Oji-sama in the screen.
Even though when he got off the elevator, he’s facing with enemies with a gun upfront.
While making an incomprehensible performance.he entered the circle of the enemy
But.isn’t he surrounded by enemies now?
I think.
There’s men in black clothes surrounding old man Dai Grepher in 360 degrees.
Nah, his method is entering the enemy’s circle and force a fistfight. He’s the different dimension warrior after all
Chief Tanizawa said
It’s dangerous if they take distance and shoot.on the other hand, if you’re surrounded by that distance.the enemy won’t be able to use their guns
I see, they can’t carelessly shoot when there’s the possibility of firing at a friend.
HEY
The man with a red armband.Giuliano Jenka calls one huge fighter.
That fighter pulls out a combat knife.and goes forward with his waist lowered. Is he a master of knives?He must be a good fighter. The guy that’s called Sam said something to old man Dai Grepher in English. Perhaps, a provocation.a small laughter comes out from the combatants of the enemy who had been silent this whole time
Are you talking about Kabuki Star? Are you filming a samurai Movie?That’s what he said
Michi said.
Michi.do you understand English?
Yes, I learned english as a compulsory subject in Kindergarten
Michi answers me like it’s obvious
Wasn’t she taking the same Ojou-sama school as Misuzu? Those kind of school has the students with a lot of opportunities to go abroad.so I think they take care more about practical English than lessons for exam.
Those people laugh so loud even though you can’t say it’s a big deal
Kouzuki Kenshi says in an amazed tone.
They’re Americans, their boiling point when it comes to laughing is low
Nei-san answered
Those guys are underestimating Dai Grepher because he’s alone
Chief Tanizawa analyzed.
Sam swings his knife to threaten. The men in black combat clothes behind comes after Dai Grepher one after another. In the disturbing air. Dai Grepher opened the fan in his hand.slowly fanning, he answered.
.Aikyan, notto, supiku, ingurishi!1
.Ingurishi
Redisu ando Jentoruman! ando, Otou-suan! Ookaasaan!I am Strong! Stronger than you!2
Dai Grepher turns the fan towards Sam
Try me!
Sam’s mouth smiles
.At that moment Four combatants among the enemy instead of Sam holds their knife and attack Dai Grepher!
Haa, choina, choinatto!
Old man Dai Grepher on his flashy kimono rotates around.and strikes the fan into the necks of the combatants!
.Guee!
The man hit raises a strange voice and falls down
One!
Old man Dai Grepher spreads the fan and mutters.
.There’s people stronger than me
what?
That’s an iron fan isn’t it?
Michi admires.
Iron fan?
A fan made of iron. It’s been used as a weapon since ancient times.it’s been held so lightly, and he’s too flashy that they didn’t realize that it’s made of iron That’s not just iron
Chief Tanizawa tells Michi
He’s iron fan is made of special alloy. It’s harder than iron and it doesn’t distort from impact. That’s heavier than iron you see!
Old man Dai Grepher swings around that thing.
Ah, the iron fan takes down another guy!
Twoo! Leave the homeland afterwards!
Old man Dai Grepher takes down two men from both sides at the same time!
Avoiding the knife of one person, taking down another one with his iron fan!
Third.Miracle! Mikurunrun!
He then swings the iron fan into the fourth person’s throat!
Fourr!There’s a bald on the streets!
At the same time the fourth person collapses!
Sam rushes to old man Dai Grepher with fierce eyes!
.Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Haa!
Sam swings out his knife in small ways like he’s doing a boxing rush.
Wahaha.mudamudamudamudamudamudamudamudaa!3
Old man Dai Grepher flutters, avoiding all of that.
There you go!
The iron fan strikes Sam’s hand that’s holding the knife!
The knife falls from the hand that lost it’s grip and sticks to the floor. Sam tries to take out a pistol using the other hand! His forehead was struck by the iron fan at the next moment.
Ugaa!
Sam falls down with his head bleeding.
Five! Someday.the chief’s daughter!
Stepping forward with his iron fan at hand.old man Dai Grepher in his wafuku has saidl.
Chief Tanizawa.do you have a daughter?
Seki-san asks, chief Tanizawa shows a dark face.
Yeah. She’s 9 by this year
Ah.old man Dai Grepher
It’s true that he’s a lolicon.
No, but he’s strong.I thought that he was amazing during the lobby fight but isn’t it much different right now?
I try to change the topic anyway
He was fighting with Banba-chan of Banbarubie at that time
Chief Tanizawa said in a dark tone.
That guy is into Banba-chan. That’s why during the fight in the lobby.he was fighting only with Banba-chan wasn’t he?
Speaking of which, he was
Somehow, they look like they were having fun.
At that time, he just purposely turned into the enemy because all he wanted was to fight with Banba-chan. That’s why I thought that he would turn to our side if I negotiated with him
But, Banba-san is over 20 years old.if he likes Banba-san then I don’t think that Dai Grepher-san is a lolicon, is he?
Seki-san asks, Chief Tanizawa.
Quoting from him.Banba-chan has a loli face and just looking at it is enough as alegal loli It seems he’s not interested in Banba-chan’s body He did say that it’s his dream to make Banba-chan wear a toddler smock just to erase her body line, and make her wear a yellow school cap.
Oh.a pervert.
Besides, he’s more into Kudou’s daughter than Banba-chan
.What, Michi?
True, Michi’s a beauty and has a body shape that pedophiles would like, but.
But, that guy’s saying.Yes Lolita! No Touch!A true lolicon won’t touch a genuine lolitaso he’s putting up with Banba-chan
Chief Tanizawa said.
It would be good if that guy dies with those enemies.
Seki-san mutters.
I would kill if I could.I always thought of that
Michi also says in pain.
But, Dai Grepher has the skill. Michi have even used her secret technique and all she could do is escape from his evil glance.
He definitely has the power but I’ll definitely not invite him to Kouzuki security service. That’s what I’ve decided
Chief Tanizawa’s eyes looks at the screen as if he’s looking at a poisonous pest.
Meanwhile.old man Dai Grepher takes down one enemy after another.
.Ojama, Jama, Jamaa! Ojamangaa!
As usual.he’s shouting incomprehensible things.
Can he shut up and fight?
Reika frowns.
I don’t know why but he’s like that during combat. When Banba-chan or girls he favor are watching, he’s assuming that he’s anOji-sama, he won’t change that far but.his concentration in combat is low. Right now, Banba-chan is in the fight.and he thinks that I’m the only one watching his fight.
Oh.old man Dai Grepher doesn’t think that such a large group is watching is fight.
He thinks that only Chief Tanizawa is watching so he does what he wants to do.
Yeah.that’s ten of them
Dai Grepher’s iron fan strikes another enemy.
The three of the leaders didn’t come out in front.they’re guarded by the surrounding combatants
Seki-san said.
I see, the red, blue, and silver armbands.Giuliano Jenka, Romeo Motague, Lorenzaccio Bandini are enclosed by enemy soldiers.
It’s about time.
Chief Tanizawa decides.
.Open the line
Yes
Norma-san operates the mouse.
Meanwhile, Tony-san hands the microphone to Chief Tanizawa.
.I connected it to the line on the floor’s elevator
Chief tanizawa.
.That’s enough, Dai Grepher. You’ve got ten seconds. The withdrawal route is C1!
The announcer sounds in the elevator hall where old man Dai Grepher is fighting.
Old man Dai Grepher stopped fighting. He stares at the enemy combatants surrounding himself. .Then
.W-E-L-L T-H-E-N! It’s about time I go! Go-Ki-GEn, uruwashuu!
He dances a mysterious song.
Do it now!
Chief Tanizawa instructs and Norma-san pushes the switch
.Then
.Shukon!
.Shushukon!
Smoke screens are discharged from the ceiling of the elevator hall.
Well then.arrivederci!
Old man Dai Grepher jumpes into the open elevator.
Giuliano Jenka orders his men to shoot but. The elevators closed quickly.
.Basu!
.Basubasu!
Some men shot at the elevator door but.
.It’s useless. This hotel is thorough when it comes to counter-terrorism measures. The elevator’s are bullet and explosion proof
Chief Tanizawa said as he look at the screen.
While at it, splash them with water from the sprinkler
.Roger
As Norma-san’s hand moves.the sprinkler in the elevator hall starts spraying.
The group of enemy got wet with water.
Take a careful look.is there no one from those Dai Grepher took out pretending to be dead?
Yeah.even if you take heavy sprinkling from the ceiling.
The fainted men doesn’t even twitch
With this.the enemy troops are reduced to 20
Chief said
Now then.should we examine the results of Dai Grepher’s recon?
The group of men in black combat clothes are getting soaked and withdrawing from the elevator hall.
But still.they’re aiming for the upper floor
Did you notice something?
Chief asks.Reika speaks.
As expected.all of the instructions to the men were all made by Giuliano Jenka
But, Giuliano Jenka occasionally looks at Lorenzaccio Bandini
Seki-san says
Yeah, there were scenes where it looks like Lorenzaccio Bandini is the one instructing Giuliano Jenka. The other one.Romeo Montague seems to be caring about Lorenzaccio Bandini’s behavior
Margo-san said.
Amazing.everyone’s observing those things while watching the fight on the screen.
Therefore.I think the conductor of the group is still Lorenzaccio Bandini
Margo-san concludes.
But.where’s Cesario Viola?
I asked.
Is Cesario Viola not in the group?
Cesario Viola should be on the right back corner!
Nei-san says
Could you replay the screen?
Yes
Nei-san said.Norma-san projects the battle on the monitor.
Take out those taken from bird’s eye view!
This?
A surveillance camera looking down from the ceiling.
Here.look. There’s three people protecting this one person. Those three people haven’t been moving all this time, Giuliano’s instructions aren’t working either.
True, only those four have been on the same position all the time.
Then.the one guarded is Cesario Viola?
I asked, Nei-san.
Maybe.because, he’s the only one who reacted!
.Reacted?
Dai Grepher-san’s boring talk about his parents
.What?
He didn’t go as far as laughing but he was definitely reacting!
Nei-san.what do you mean?
.Cesario Viola can understand Japanese!
.Oh right.
Viola’s taken by his parents who were working from US army to spend his childhood in Japan. Therefore, he can speak Japanese.
Among those enemies.the person who can understand Japanese, and even react to an old Television joke is only Viola!
.i see.
could it be that Viola kept saying all those ridiculous things to bring out Viola?
If so.then what a deep strategy!
Nah.I don’t think so
Chief Tanizawa said harshly
That’s just his hobby
.Hobby
Really.even though he’s so skilled. What a disappointing personality
Chief leaks a sigh.
Chief.Dai Grepher-san has arrived on the first floor
Norma-san reports.
It seems he wants to communicate with chief.
Connect him.ah, just audio. Don’t show the image here to him .Okay
On the screen.old man Dai Grepher on the first floor is shown.
How did it go? Have you decided on my on-stage?
.Yeah
He’s really disappointing.
1. I cannot speak English
2. Ladies and Gentlemen, and Fathers and Mothers! 3. oraoraoraoraoraoraoraoraoraoraoraora
Chapter 307
Chapter 307. Dark Clouds
.Yeah. Take a little rest. I might make you work on the last one. Of course.I’ll pay a separate reward, and there’s 102k yen hourly rate during breaks!
Chief Tanizawa communicates with old man Dai Grepher.
Therefore.no more betraying
I see.in his case.
There’s a possibility of him still sticking on Cesario Viola’s side in this situation. Therefore, we have to keep him on our side until the fight is over.
Very well. I’ll accept your terms
Old man Dai Grepher consented readily.
Then.the waiting room for guards on the west side of the hotel should be safe. Use that. There’s a shower and you can eat and drink anything from the fridge
I don’t need a break, I don’t mind if you send me as Banba-chan’s follow-up
Old man Dai Grepher proposes, but.
‘The other two of Banbarubie 3 are still alive and well.you sure about that?
.Tell me when Barbie and Ruby drops out. I’ll be coming right away
Sure enough.old man Dai Grepher isn’t in good terms with the other ladies of Banbarubie.
That’s impossible.those ladies are veterans. They won’t be retiring earlier than Banba-chan
.You’re right. That’s what I think too Take a rest for the time being.I’ll forward the progress of the battle in the waiting room on the first floor .I hear and obey!
Old man Dai Grepher in his wafuku replies like a samurai then switched off the line.
.Dai Grepher, he’s strong but.anyway.he’s too perverted that we can’t have him as an ally at all. He makes strange moves even if he’s on our side. That’s why I can only make him work alone
Chief Tanizawa speaks disappointedly.
When he’s fighting an enemy.it’s okay to shoot him from behind. Just shoot him along with the enemies!
Seki-san speaks her disgust to old man Dai Grepher.
There was an organization that did it before but.even when they were using ten machine guns, Dai Grepher was okay for some reason.and the organization that betrayed him seems to be annihilated
As expected of a different dimension warrior
He can also readQi Once he feels blood thirst, he can take initiative and react.
Michi said.
I see.he’s reading theirQiso he can move on a different dimension from those unexpected attacks from enemies.
Then that means.Dai Grepher-san’s skills are close to Kudou style?
When I asked.Michi shows a displeased face.
It’s not rare for martial arts to read the enemyQiduring fights. Kudou style is characterized by erasing one’s ownQiand beating down theQiof others, but.Dai Grepher-sama’s technique is establishing a bumpingQiwith one another BumpingQi?
That person’sQIis.anyway, very uncomfortable and disgusting. Therefore, the other party will try to avoid him without being conscious of it
It’s too much of adisgusting existence.that their body unconsciously avoid him?
The essence of his skill is to get into the bosom of the opponent at the speed where the gap between the consciousness and unconscious is made. I think that it’s a feat but.there’s no other warrior that would make the other party feel so uncomfortable as him Yeah.I can understand Michi’s feelings.
It’s true that it feels unpleasant to have old man Dai Grepher approach you.
The only one who can endure fighting with him is mostly Banba-chan
Chief Tanizawa said
Right.that girl’s head is a bit of a fairy tale
Seki-san sighs.
She’s too innocent she doesn’t doubt any people. If Barbie-san and Ruby-san aren’t looking after her.I’m sure that she’d be swindled by the bad guys already. Just recently, in front of Akihabara station.it seems that she bought some incomprehensible high priced printmaker Really?
Well.It seems that the gallery which sold it to Banba-san was crushed by Barbie-san and Ruby-san’s assault. They’re vacant right now
Wow.that’s trouble.
Ah, rather than that.
By the way.Michi
Yes, Master? Michi can readQiright?Then could you tell the state of Cesario Viola’s command unit earlier?
The command line of Viola’s unit is a mystery.
The leader of the men are managed by Giuliano Jenka. Then Giuliano receives instructions from Romeo Motague.Lorenzaccio Bandini is said to be Viola’s manager. Then.it’s confirmed that Cesario Viola himself is in the unit. And yet. Cesario Viola, the boss of all.doesn’t show any indication of instructing Lorenzaccio Bandini at all What does that mean? From what we see.Lorenzaccio Bandini is the top of the unit. Cesario Viola is following a few escorts and doesn’t seem to be following the command.
Actually, Viola’s instructing Lorenzaccio Bandini in some way or something? Can you not read that with theQi?
I ask Michi.
Sadly.I can’t readQithrough screens. I won’t be able to judge it unless it’s on the same space.
.I see
So Michi’sQireading has that kind of weakness?
Either way.we’ve got to investigate that problem.it’s a mater of Cesario Viola and the foundation of his organization
Margo-san says
At first.they sent out a fake Lorenzaccio Bandini ahead, making us think that Bandini isn’t a big shot in the organization. But this time, he’s acting as if he’s a bigger boss than VIola. Including the existence of the femalewhite Viola.there’s still many mysteries in their organization .We can just take them all down
Reika said.
If we annihilate them all then we can ask questions later
You can’t go that way.Reika-oneesan
Margo-san smiles at Reika.
The center of the organization changes in the situation. Ifthe situation you see nowis correct, and we take down Lorenzaccio Bandini and Giuliano Jenka.the chain of command will be lost. It would be easy to reap the men who lost their commander and just became a crowd. But, if.the situation seen nowis a fake.
Everyone’s eyes concentrate on Margo-san.
What if you wanted to focus all of our attacks on Lorenzaccio Bandini and Giuliano Jenka?
.Right.
Why is the boss, Cesario Viola not taking the command?The reason’s unknown
We don’t want to take too much risk. If possible, we want to detain them without taking so much damage here. Then.we should think of the process on how to destroy the enemy troop in a reasonable way. Should we take down Cesario Viola first or Lorenzaccio Bandini?This is a huge problem Yeah.even if we forcibly defeat Lorenzaccio Bandini first.
Then Cesario Viola becomes the leader and the troops function normally, then it’s meaningless to force ourselves. In contrary.if we try to take down Cesario Viola first then the solid command line will be able to stop our attack,
But, the enemy’s main troops were reduced by Dai Grepher-san to 20 people. If you make an all out attack on this number.
Reika tries to force a push
.But
The enemy unit stopped at 14th floor
Norma-san shows the image of the surveillance camera on the monitor
The two units are retreating on the same route It seems that they’re aiming to group up at 14th floor
That’s bad.
How many people are there in the units?
Chief Tanizawa asks Norma-san.
The first team engaged with the team under Kudou-san on each floor so they’re reduced from 30 to 15 people. The unit behind are still intact with 30 people
If the two preceding units join up.Viola’s main troops would be 15+30+20=65 people
The troops that are invading another routes all began ascending to the lower floor. It looks like they intend to withdraw on the first floor and join with the main troop
The hotel is separated by fire walls and shutters.it’s not possible to go up to the upper floors unless you go up in several different routes.
Therefore, Viola and others divided the troops and started invading the separate routes. Kudou-papa and others don’t know which one of the divided troops was Cesario Viola’s main troops so they intercept all invading units on each floor, collecting information bit by bit while scooping out the number of enemy soldiers. But.Now with Nei-san’s announcement, and old man Dai Grepher’s reconnaissance, Viola’s main unit comes out. Then, if we take down the remaining 20 people in Viola’s main force, this fight will be over. Viola’s feeling threatened by that so he hurriedly decided to regroup with the troops
.Kudou, can you hear me?
Chief Tanizawa heads to the radio.
It’s the same type on the thing we brought from the underground emergency evacuation room. It has less risk of being eavesdropped because we’re using it inside the hotel.
We’re checking the situation here
Kudou-papa’s voice come out of the speaker.
Don’t let the enemies group up.take down the enemy units withdrawing!
.Roger! We’ll make those who are close attack in sequence!
Chief Tanizawa’s expression is steep
.I hope the attack team is sent in time
Eh.what does that mean?
Since it was a system to ambush and intercept on each floor.it’s too hard to chase a retreating enemy
Seki-san explained to me with a strange face.
Even now, the hotel is a maze, it’s difficult to move from the point of interception
.How about opening the fire doors and letting the interception team head straight to the enemy?
Kouzuki Kenshi says grinning
If we open up the fire doors to make the shortest distance.do you think we can move our unit while controlling the movement of the enemy
.If it’s Kouzuki security service’s top elites then they could use that move
Seki-san smiles wryly.
We’re familiar with the internal structure of the hotel.since we have several patterns of the labyrinth state in our heads.even if they release some of the fire doors.we can manage to do something. But.Kudou-san’s teams won’t When an emergency happens.the maze inside the hotel is supposed to be the a top secret among Kouzuki security service.
Seki-san knows to some extent where to change the maze, to open, to go. Kudou-papa’s subordinates.the free guards don’t know.
But.everyone has an electronic device such as phones, right? If you show them the route.
Kouzuki Kenshi says further.
What would you do if that map you presented is known by the enemy?
Seki-san answers with a disgusted tone.
Right.if the free guards are to be knocked down by enemies and their electronic device shows the maze diagram on each floor is passed to the enemy.
Anyway.it’s better for us to beat only the 15 people troops that’s ahead. The second 30 people team.I think we have to give up on them
Margo-san said while watching the enemy troops appearing on the large monitor on the wall.
Besides.can’t we lock up the troops that invaded the other routes so they can’t go down to the lower floor? We know that they’re not Viola’s main troops, just Russian baddies.so there’s no need to take them down, is there?
Margo-san said, Chief Tanizawa.
Right.When they come down 2-3 floors, cut down their passage
Yeah.with that, we can block their merging with the other teams.
When it comes to this.we need all the force even if it’s just a bit. Seki-kun, and Fujimiya-kun, join up with Kudou-kun’s team and intercept with the enemy force
Chief Tanizawa orders the two
.But The two look at each other. Reika nods at Seki-san Seki-san responds with a smile
Chief.we can’t accept that order
.Why, Seki-kun? We’re ordered to guard these people
Seki-san and Reika look at me and Nei-san
Well, you can leave them to Margo-ojouchan and Kudou’s daughter. Besides, this is theHQ I’m here, and the other guards are from the top elites
Chief tells the two with strict eyes.
But.it’s an imperial order
Seki-san retorts
Fujimiya-kun thinks the same?
Sorry, but.
Reika also refuses to leave our side.
.By all means?
Reika looks at me.
Yes.I promised to protect these people no matter what happens.
I.
No, but.it is as Tanizawa-san said, we’re short on people so it’s not that I mind. Margo-san and Michi are here too.
.No
What.Yukino?
It’s not good to break this team!
Yukino looks at me.
I wonder? Rather, I’d have the team dismantle so we can move lightly
Kouzuki Kenshi says smiling
No.not now Because.
Yukino who’s been silent all this time since coming to this room speaks
I can’t trust these people!
Yukino’s eyes look at Chief Tanizawa and Norma-san and others.
What.you can’t trust them? Nei-san says as she look at Margo-san.
Maru-chan.I want to rest in a room
Margo-san looks at Nei-san’s eyes.
Right.we would be obstructing if we stay in this room.
Chief Tanizawa tells Margo-san.
Tanizawa-san.could you lend us a room to rest? As you know, Nei is one of Cesario Viola’s targets. I’m mentally tired because of the broadcast earlier so I’d like to rest
Chief Tanizawa looks at Norma-san.
Norma-san pushed some keys.
I’ll open up room 2505
Then.she takes out a card key
We’re going to the 25th floor using this room. Room 2505 is the room just across this room!
.Thank you
This room’s a whole elevator
I feel the room rising up
Well.true, you should take a bit of rest. Leave the fighting with enemies to us
Chief Tanizawa tells us.
Tanizawa-san.of course we would like the information inside the building to be transferred to room 2505 so we can understand the progress of the war!
Margo-san said smiling.
If we know the situation then we won’t be afraid!
Chief Tanizawa
Of course.Norma-kun, lend me a terminal. Make the line able to communicate with room 2505
.Are you sure, Chief?
Norma-san asks Chief Tanizawa.
.Right Norma-san is a person who don’t make small plays at such times.
Yeah, of course
Chief Tanizawa’s smile is stiff
Then.
Ah, we’ve got a computer for the terminals here so take whatever you need to use.
Tony-san who can’t read the atmosphere even more than Nroma-san tells Margo-san
.The terminals are the same aren’t they?
Chief Tanizawa says, but.
No, after all, it’s best to use the one that suits oneself
Tony-san says lightly.
This guy’s Kudou-papa’s subordinate, and he worked withKuromoriso. He’s completely thinking of us as friends.
What equipment do you recommend? What’s the most useful to extract info?
Margo-san asks Tony-san.
If it was me then, this!
Then I’ll borrow this.is that okay, Tanizawa-san? .Yeah. Take it
Chief Tanizawa answers expressionlessly.
The line is connected to the writing desk.
Un, please. Please deliver the information properly to us I know
Tony-san answers with a smile
Then, Tanizawa-san.excuse us
Margo-san gives her thanks.
I, Nei-san, and Michi bowed together.
We’ll be continuing to guard these people
Seki-san and Reika also bows.
Yeah.take care
Chief Tanizawa answer with only that.
Then.why are you coming with us too?
Yukino asks Kouzuki Kenshi as soon as we moved into room 2505.
This room is a normal room. There’s two beds. But, me, Nei-san, Margo-san, Michi, Seki-san and Reika, Yukino and Kouzuki Kenshi. With eight people inside.it’s somewhat narrow.
Isn’t it better for you to stay in that room?
Well.it seems more interesting to be with you people
Kouzuki Kenshi says nonchalantly
.But
.Yukino, what was that about?
I asked Yukino right away.
What about?
The part you say you can’t trust Tanizawa-san and others
Yukino.
Well.isn’t it strange?
.Like I said, what is? Why did that person let us into their headquarters? Aren’t they being open to us about everything? In the first place, are we people he could trust that far?
We.Kuromoriis a criminal organization with prostitution as main profit.
Well.isn’t it because Seki-san and Reika were with us? I think that Margo-san is also trusted by Tanizawa-san.
I know that. But you see.he won’t normally let the two of us in you know? Those people know about us
.Right
Chief Tanizawa is far from trusting Yukino or me.
Showing everything in their fully confidential headquarters because his subordinates are with us.even letting a group of strange children in the mix.isn’t that strange?
Yes, but.then why did Tanizawa-san do that?
Yukino says.
Isn’t that obvious?It’s to throw us off guard!
.Throw us off guard?
They purposely let us in their secret place to show that they’re opening up to us that much
.That’s just
I think so too
Margo-san said while connecting the computer terminal
Of course, they’re not ourenemy.not bad people either. But, there’s no doubt that they’re hiding something from us
.Is that so?
.Then The radio I put in my pocket rings! Is it a contact from the emergency evacuation room? Everyone who has a radio listens to their earphones.
.Hello, Danna-sama?
.This voice, Misuzu?
What’s up?
It’s a big problem.Danna-sama!
Misuzu’s voice is tense.
Grandfather and Kuromori-sama is gone!
Jii-chan and Minaho-neesan?
Chapter 308
Chapter 308. Kouzuki Kenshi
Gone.how?
When I asked.Misuzu on the other side.
Grandfather said he wants to talk with her alone, so he went with Kuromori-sama in the monitor room. Then, they haven’t come out all this time.
Jii-chan and Minaho-neesan.
I thought that it was strange, so I tried opening the door.then the two of them were gone!
They escaped the emergency evacuation room from the basement with just the two of them?
Hello, it’s me.can you tell?
The line changed from Misuzu to Katsuko-nee.
Inside the panel of the wall of the room.there is a hidden lifting device that caters one person. Since it can only go from bottom to top, I think that the enemies can’t come down through this device Was there an escape room hidden?
What to do? If you want, we can chase them with this lift, but
I look at Margo-san.
Margo-san.
Katsuko-san, stay inthere. Even if you chase them now, you can’t reach to where Minaho and Kouzuki-san is right now. Besides, we don’t know the elevator leads it from the hotel. It’s just dangerous if you chase them unreasonably and encounter an enemy!
.That’s right.
Jii-chan knows the structure of this hotel so he slipped out with an escape device, but. It must be a secret route where he will go in the hotel after this. But, Katsuko-nee doesn’t have that knowledge so she can’t chase them alone.
But, I’m worried about Ojou-sama
Katsuko-nee says worriedly
I know how you feel but.Katsuko-san, take care of Nagisa-san and the other children’s mental health. I’m sure that everyone’s worried.
Yeah. Misuzu, Megu, Mana, Ruriko, Yoshiko-san.are all afraid.
Katsuko-nee.can you make everyone in the room hear my voice?
Margo-san nods at my proposal
Anyway, those girls need someone who can say words to ease them
Yes, wait a moment!
Katsuko-nee opens the line and after a while
Okay, go on!
Hello.it’s me. I’ve heard the situation from Misuzu and Katsuko-nee .Onii-chan Yoshi-kun, are you okay?
The one microphone picks up the sound in theemergency evacuation room
Mana and Megu’s voice jumped into my ears at the same time.
I’m sorry.Onii-sama
The one grieving.Ruriko?
Even though Onii-sama has given me orders.I took my eyes away from Grandfather
.It’s done so there’s no helping it. Don’t mind it
It’s too late to talk and scold her about it.
Jii-chan originally evacuated us to theemergency evacuation roomand planned to return to the upper floors of the hotel. You do know that, right?
Yes, there were signs.so I should’ve never took my eyes off from Grandfather Ruriko, that’s already done.Ruriko did her surveillance properly. Therefore, Jii-chan made an excuse to be alone with Minaho-neesan to escape Ruriko and other’s eyes, is that correct?
Yes, I would’ve never thought that he would escape together with Kuromori-sama
I think that Jii-chan explained his reason why he absolutely want to go to the upper floor to Minaho-neesan, instead of asking Minaho-neesan to overlook his escape. And, from what I’ve heard.Minaho-neesan decided to go upstairs with him That’s the only scenario I could think.
Either way.Jii-chan and Minaho-neesan aren’t people who would silently abandon us. Am I right.Ruriko?
Yes, Onii-sama.I know that, but.
The dark shadow of anxiety is covering Ruriko.
Misuzu, deal with Ruriko.Yoshiko-san too
Yes.Danna-sama .Certainly
Ruriko has grown up dependent on Jii-chan.
Even though she understand that there might be some reason.her mind can’t able to respond to the reality that Jii-chan left her silently
Anyway.we’ll be looking for Jii-chan and Minaho-neesan’s whereabouts Once we discover somethin, we’ll contact you
Please.Onii-sama Yeah. Megu and Mana, try to get along with everyone and wait for me! I know, Yoshi-kun Yeah.Onii-chan Nagisa too.take care of them Yes. Leave this room to me.dear
If Nagisa watches over the room then there’s no need to worry.
Ruriko’s anxiety should be eased with this.
How’s Mao-chan?
Completely asleep. She met various people today so she’s too frolic and now tired
I see.there’s so many fuss about today.
For the small Mao-chan, the day is already over, but. Our day isn’t done yet. We’re in the brink of the game right now.
Katsuko-san.is all the data from the hotel being sent to themonitor room?
Margo-san asks.
Well.not all of them are coming. Of course, the image date of the floor battling with the enemy are arriving. The data of the entire hotel aren’t sent, there are some floors that are completely hidden .As expected
Margo-san says while looking at the terminal borrowed from the headquarters earlie.
It’s the same here.Chief Tanizawa doesn’t intend to let us access the data except for those he want us to see
.Does that mean?
There are things they definitely don’t want us to see!
Margo-san smiles wryly.
There’s no doubt that Jii-chan has sent instructions to make Chief Tanizawa restrict our access. What are they trying to hide?
But, this equipment is connected to the internet outside the hotel
Katsuko-nee said
I can’t write but we can see the information outside freely
Can you check if the press picked up the current situation of this hotel? Wait.no, it’s not appearing on any news sites
Katsuko-nee answers Margo-san’s question.
It’s a news blackout.it must be the work of Kouzuki-san?
Shirasaka house is the only press organization that this house can’t suppress.
Furthermore, I don’t think that the Japan media has the power to control Cesario Viola, an American Criminal
What we know right now is that Kouzuki-san has plotted something to summon Cesario Viola to this hotel. Furthermore, he has his board and their children together
.Aren’t we the same?
Yukino said.
Right.We were also invited by Jii-chan here.
We’re the same but.Yukino’s different.
Margo-san said.
The fact that we brought Yukino-san is unexpected. Normally, you would be on the school’s confinement room
No way, that’s such a narrow room!
Yukino remembers being trapped in the confinement room at the basement of the principal’s office.she makes a complaint
.Anyway, Kouzuki-san is the one who gathered all the people in here. Then, purposely gathering us.we were isolated in a safe rom
.Safe room?
He left the guards and escaped by himself.Kouzuki-san has a lot of confidence in the defense of the emergency evacuation room in the basement. Otherwise, he won’t leave both of his precious granddaughters together there Yeah.that underground room should be completely defended.
Then, we werequarantinedin that room too. Nei.check the door
Got it, Maru-chan
Nei-san touches the door knob of the room
.Gachagacha.
It’s not opening.locked
.Does that mean?
The key’s not working from inside?
I asked just in case.
Of course.it’s not doing anything
Or rather.this room, the normal hotel rooms are auto-licked so the door should open if you turn the knob from inside the room
Margo-san said.
If you close the door, it’s locked automatically so it won’t open from the outside. In order for the people to evacuate immediately when a fire or something similar happens in the hotel. If you turn the knob from the inside, the door should open. And yet.this room is locked.
Does this mean, as expected, Jii-chan?
Rather than Kouzuki-san, it’s Tanizawa-san. He operated it from theheadquartersand making us think that we’re using an electronic lock
In short.we’re trapped?
Earlier, Tanizawa-san said that the 21st floor should be the absolute defense line. This is the 25th floor. I think that we’re absolutely protected if we’re on this floor
Speaking of which.Tanizawa-san tried to pull Seki-san and Reika-oneesan away from us!
Nei-san.
Yeah.This room is an evacuation for us.no, I think it’s intended to lock us. Earlier, I noticed it when entering the room, the door of this room is sturdy that’s impossible for ordinary rooms. This is originally a room built assuming the restraint of an enemy. If Michi-chan and I were seriously refusing. It’s not just the doors, but also the walls and windows are strengthened than usual.
Margo-san says.
But you see.Seki-san and Reika-oneesan is with us!
Nei-san grinned.
Seki-san has her pistol so she can just shoot the electronic lock circuit of the door, Reika-oneesan.
Right.if we have Reika’s death cane, then we can easily take down the door
.Should we break it?
Reika looks at Margo-san and me
Wait.we won’t have any clues what to do after even if we get out right now. Let’s gather information here for a while longer
Margo-san heads to the comm device.
Katsuko-san.check all the areas that can be accessed in that computer, then I think that the restricted areas would be coming out via reverse engineering
Sure.I’ll try We’ll be doing the same thing on this terminal
Margo-san heads to the computer terminal.
Yeah.if we know what Jii-chan is trying not to show us. There’s nowhere for us to move to. Over Margo-san’s shoulder.Nei-san, Seki-san, Reika, Kouzuki Kenshi looks into the monitor. I.don’t know anything about it so I’m not butting in
Hey, is there any tea here?
Yukino asked.
There’s a pot in there isn’t it?
True, there’s a small pot for the guests.
Does it have water?
Let’s see.oh, there is
The attendant had put water thinking about the guests who’ll check in
Then, put in some tea
Yukino orders me
No, but you see.this room is for two people originally.so there’s only two teacups, and the pot can’t boil water for everyone.besides
.What? There’s only two packs of tea There’s two isn’t there?Then I’ll drink so brew me a cup
This is what Yukino is about.
She doesn’t think about the atmosphere around her.
Master, there’s no need to listen to her orders
Michi who’s been beside me all the time speaks
If you want to drink then do it yoursef
Michi’s eyes are cold
Right, then I’ll do so
Yukino stands up.pushes the switch to boil the pot and puts the teabag in the cup.
Firmly.she drinks what she want to drink
.it looks like we can see the hotel’s blueprint
Margo-san said as she look at the monitor.
This is where we are right now.the route going down to first floor is shown through the maze shaped hotel. In case of emergency, we can descend by ourselves to the first floor by following this blueprint Margo-san said
Lend it to me.I’ll remember it all
Seki-san comes forward.
Memorize.that’s a different maze each floor isn’t it? Besides.this is the 25th floor.
The maps you have to remember is 25 pieces.
It’s not a big deal. I’m originally familiar with the internal structure of the hotel.it’s necessary to remember the pattern of the maze of each floor. Give me 5 minutes. I’ll put it all in my head.
.I see.
Since it’s dangerous when it reaches the hand of the enemy so you can’t take the map. You have to memorize it in your head.
It’s fine. That’s what I’m good at
As expected of a top elite guard.
Taking the terminal from Margo-san.Seki-san memorizes the map on the screen with a very fast momentum.
Oh.soKakkadiscloses this much information to you
Kouzuki Kenshi says as he look at the image of the terminal from behind
What do you mean by that?
I asked instinctively.
Well you see.the executives and the other students are at the floor above.but information isn’t disclosed to them. Well, if you show them the map inside the hotel, those people might just wander around True, Kouzuki Souji and the prince faction would do that.
Those guys don’t know what fear is.
Really.everyone seems to be trusted byKakka
Kouzuki Kenshi grins.
Trusted, yet.why are we trapped in this place?
Yukino said
As she drink the hot tea from the cup.she eats one of the tea cakes that only have two prepared. Somehow.aren’t you amazing?
He’s trusting you people that’s why he’s treating you carefully
Kouzuki Kenshi answers.
Before.I’ve heard this from Kakka.
From Jii-chan?
The human world has asurfaceandunderground People who only know thesurfaceare weak. Just like Kouzuki Souji-san. But.to say that you’re free from the worry of the sadness and suffering from theundergroundmolds you into an upright man True.Kouzuki Souji only knows thesurfaceof Kouzuki house.
He’s a fool, has a strong self-respect, annoying.but, an upright man. He’s not a twisted, disgusting man.
On the other hand.those who know theundergroundare strong, those who only knows theundergroundhave a twisted character. They’re nasty, and sly people
Well yeah.
If you can only see the worldunderground.that is painful on it’s own
What’s the best is.you yourself are in thesurfacewhile you know the existence of theunderground. Have someone stand negotiating with theunderground.and never coming to touch theunderground Kakkahas always been telling us his students to become those kind of people Yeah.I get the idea.
You shouldn’t be involved with theundergroundas much as possible I am a member of the underground which isKuromoriso that’s what I truly think.
IN the end.what’s important is the sense of balance. You have to be well balanced accepting both thesurfaceandundergroundaccording to where you belong
The people in the surface.as a person insurface
The personunderground.as a personunderground
Therefore.Kakkahas divided the people he called into the hotel into three groups
.Kouzuki Kenshi?
For each group.it’s natural to make a difference in the information you want to tell. The ratio of thesurfaceandundergroundis different.
Kouzuki Kenshi points to the figure of the hotel presented in the monitor.
On the top floor.where most of the executives and the students should be, have little to no information conveyed to them. They don’t even know the purpose of the enemies attacking this hotel right now. However, some of the battles on the lower floor are shown.making them horrified. Those people are; All people from thesurface It’s enough to let them know the horror of the world behind us.that’s what Kakka must be thinking Yeah.those on the upper floor doesn’t need to know the whole truth of this attack.
No, we don’t want them to know. The continuation of Nei-san’s sad past, and it’s fate.
Besides.from what I hear from everyone’s talk, it seems that Ruriko-sama and Misuzu-sama are evacuated to the basement of this hotel. These people know about the worldundergroundmore than those on the upper floors. Or, Kakkahas judged that it’s better for them to know. However,Kakkais worried that they might be completely dyed by theundergroundworld.
Right. In order for Misuzu and Ruriko to manage the Kouzuki house in the future.
They have to know about the worldunderground But.that said, they don’t need to live in the worldunderground That is true for Megu and Mana. I don’t want them to work in theundergroundinKuromori I don’t want them to be dyed further. Katsuko-nee and Nagisa who had retired as a prostitute already.
Then.currently, the people in this room. Everyone’s closer to the people of theundergroundthan those who are below.
Kouzuki Kenshi looks at us.
Margo-san, Nei-san.and, Me. We’re the execution unit who carry out the plan inKuromori Seki-san, Reika, Michi. Though they’re named as guards.they don’t choose the means for the purpose. We’re all lacking the sense of hesitation to break the law.we’re the same kind. It is as Kouzuki Kenshi said.we’re people who are closer to the world ofunderground
But.Everyone’s not a completeundergroundpeople You’re not people who are stained with evil. That’s what I thought after watching everyone’s actions for a while
We.
I think that everyone here had been sent to theundergroundside in order to confront theunderground ForKakkahe’s expecting everyone as a human resource to set up counter-attacks in theundergroundworld We’re not like that
Therefore.if the complete information is disclosed, you would be convinced that you had fallen to theunderground Therefore,Kakkahas confined everyone here.trying to make sure that no further information is conveyed Kouzuki Kenshi says confidently
It’s a very interesting opinion but.I don’t think so
Margo-san answers.
Rather than that.what’s your position to say those kind of things to us?
Right.Kouzuki Kenshi is.
What group does he think he belongs to?
I can’t go back to the upper floor. My father, has betrayed Kouzuki group. No.from the start, I don’t have ambition like the other students. Therefore, it’s an opportunity for me to be banished from the private school. I finally can reach the position I want to go to!
Kouzuki Kenshi smiles.
I want to be a person from theundergroundside!
Chapter 309
The other students,Kakka’s.or the vassals of Kouzuki house are on the surface. No, it’s good that they don’t know the underground, but.I want to beKakka’svassal who rules the underground. That’s more interesting.and I can enter the center of Kouzuki group efficiently than fighting those in the surface. Currently,Kakkaonly has Tanizawa-san entrusted to work on the underground so it’s possible for the young me to be the second in charge underground!
Kouzuki Kenshi grins.
That’s why you followed us?
Margo-san asks.
Yes. I have to be using underground talents like you people in the future.If I don’t take initiative and put my danger like Tanizawa-san, people from underground like you people won’t trust me, would you?
This guy thinks of wanting to make us his people.
Ah. .He’s underestimating us.
In the end.you’re still a child of the private school. You haven’t stepped out the frame of the private school just like the others.
.What do you mean?
Kouzuki Kenshi reacts to what Margo-san said.
You seem to be interested in what position you would take from the Kouzuki.or rather, that’s only your interest. But, you see.we’ve got nothing to do with it?
That’s not true isn’t it? Being involved with Kouzuki group should be beneficial for you as well. Either way, you’ll be incorporated with the underground of Kouzuki group.in that case, I would like to be appointed to the position to connect you withKakka That’s Kouzuki Kenshi’s aim?
Then, I’ll learn about the underground.and I will follow Chief Tanizawa’s track and succeed to be the top of the underground division of the Kouzuki group
Kouzuki Kenshi says composed.
Kouzuki Kenshi-san.Kakkawill never make these people members of his own underground
Seki-san said.
Kakkawants to return these people to the surface. Therefore, we’re trapped in this room right now.Kakkawants to settle everything with his own hands
I don’t believe that. There’s no wayKakkawould do charity to the people of Kuromori house, would he? He should be thinking of it as a plot to make Kuromori house his subordinate in the end!
Kouzuki Kenshi knows my relationship with Misuzu.
He doesn’t know the whole picture of Kuromori family What’s in our hearts.
.It’s impossible for you
Michi said
You’re not someone from the underground. Not even standing at the entrance
Michi’s cold eyes pierces Kouzuki Kenshi
You don’t have a dark part in your heart!
What do you mean? Even I have some darkness in my heart.I have desires and greed. I’m a normal healthy young man
Kouzuki Kenshi’s still laughing
That’s not what I meant.you have never stood in the darkness alone, have you? Those people who never had such experience will never understand us. !
.in the darkness.
I remember.
In my house.the dark room with no electricity.
Wrapped up in the blanket on the sofa.enduring the coldness of the night with my own temperature. Those times when I was alone.
We have shaken off the pain, the sadness in that darkness alone, therefore; We are here right now.
Michi had a period where she was raised by her grandfather, apart from her parents
Margo-san was chased away from an Indian settlement.there was a time she spent in a facility. Nei-san.her parents and her brother, Kei-san died. Everyone experienced lonely nights.
Well, surely, I’m from the Kouzuki clan.it may be a priviledged lifestyle from the view of others but.what about it? Do you think that people who had experienced hardship in their life are greater?That’s nonsense!
That’s what not she’s saying
Seki-san comes in between.
To make it simple.Kenshi-san doesn’t understand our feelings!
When you compare yourself with other people, you’d feel that there’s something lacking. Or, the sense of loss when you lose something.you don’t know the frustration of those unbearable emotion.
Reika follows up Seki-san.
Seki-san suffered from her alcoholic father. Reika too.she parted with her family early, and lived with her grandfather.
Reika-oneesan, it’s useless to explain those things.people who don’t understand never will!
Nei-san says with dark eyes.
You don’t know the taste of life unless you ate bread with tears?That’s foolish. You’re just drunk on the fact that you have experienced a painful past. You’re basking in your own amazingness from standing up from that situation Kouzuki Kenshi smiles as he makes fool of us.
Rather than that.empty your heads and think simply of profit and loss. It would be better if you work with me in the future.I guarantee it!
Really.are all rich kids like this?
No.Misuzu and Ruriko are different. Those girls have deep darkness in their hearts. Therefore.we’re attracted to each other. We have become afamily
You’re the one who followed.you’ll only fall to hell. Either way, you’re the one who’s going to run away alone in the end
Margo-san said.
Well.everything’s give and take. In exchange, if everyone thinks they’re at disadvantage with me, then you can cut me off. Let’s dry up that part
.Really, you’re not suited for the underground work
Margo-san looks at Kouzuki Kenshi with eyes of scorn.
How about you start a black company and try exploiting a lot of people? I think you’re better suited for that job!
Nei-san looks at Kouzuki Kenshi like he’s garbage.
You’re always in a position above the other party.you think you can just say everything looking down on them, don’t you? Staying with people you can deceive.they’re lacking information and dull people so you think you can do anything with them?
That’s an unexpected thought.I just live my own way. I’m often warned for having a bossy attitude but.people who are resolved to stand on others needs this much bluff I think Just shut up you fucking idiot!
Nei-san said.
.What?
I’m saying you shut up.don’t ever speak again unless we tell you! .No, I
.Shururun!
.Zuba!
Michi’s whip and Reika’s cane pierces the floor in front of Kouzuki Kenshi at the same time!
.The next one would hit
Won’t you understand unless we use force?
Michi and Reika’s bloodlust.turned Kouzuki Kenshi silent as expected.
You see, the people underground are okay to kill those who underestimate them. If you get underestimated, you can retaliate by killing. If not, it’ll chew you to your bones. You bite the other party to death no matter how powerful they are. We are all people who possess a fang.
Margo-san said.
Therefore.courtesy is important in the underground worl.d Those who can’t express courtesy will apologize by dying. The powerful can do anything just like the surface world. Strong people doesn’t have to lower their head and endure. Since the start, live, die.we’re in the world of kill or be killed Or rather.let’s just kill him. Isn’t that way better?
Nei-san said, Seki-san.
Sorry but please let him live. Fujimiya-san and I would be in trouble if he dies here
Yeah.both of them belong to Kouzuki security service.
It would be bad if Kouzuki Kenshi dies in front of them.
Well then, let’s have him charge against the enemy. When that happens, Seki-san won’t take responsibility, would you? It’s fine, Dai Grepher came back alive. Instead of an iron fan, we’ll give you at least a slapstick!
Nei-san says somewhat excited
No.that is
Kouzuki Kenshi tries to open his mouth
.Shut up
Michi glares at him.
Though I feel pissed hearing his selfish logical development.thanks to that, I’ve seen it a bit
Margo-san smiles
The reason why Minaho went out of the basement with Kouzuki-san
What is it?
I asked unconsciously.
I want to know Minaho-neesan’s intention
Didn’t he say it a while ago?The group of executives, Misuzu-san and others, and us. Kouzuki-san says that there’s different information restrictions on each group.I think that’s true
Each one has a regulated amount of information to be accessed?
After all, it’s not wanted for the people on the upper floor to know much about the underground world.and I think that there are something he doesn’t want Misuzu to see. That’s what Kouzuki-san wants Well.I get that, but
We don’t know what they don’t want us to see but.we’re the execution team on the underground. It would be troublesome to keep this a secret this late. Well, they keep the information restricted on our group.but either way, Kouzuki-san’s feelings for the upper floor and basement people are correctly analyzed by this person Margo-san looks at Kouzuki Kenshi’s face.
But, if so.I thought of what kind of person Kouzuki-san thinks of himself?
Jii-chan.what does he think of himself?
Kouzuki-san wishes that his own relatives won’t know too much about theunderground.In short, he thinks that he’s a person who’s very familiar with the people on theunderground
i see.
True.Kouzuki-san has a lot of contacts in theundergroundworld, and I think he’s more familiar with theundergroundmore than the normal businessmen in thesurface
Margo-san sighs.
This is all putting people like chief Tanizawa and Michi-chan’s father in between. The head of Kouzuki family.shouldn’t make contact with the peopleundergroundby themselves. Chief Tanizawa should be watching from behind always. He should be doing the groundwork that Kouzuki-san doesn’t know Yeah.that’s of course
Chief Tanizawa should be watching from Jii-chan’s shadows so he won’t be in danger at any time.
We now know what’s inside Kouzuki-san’s head but.
.But?
Kouzuki-san himself doesn’t know that he himself is a person of thesurfacejust like the other executives. That person is the same as Kouzuki Kenshi over here.a person who’s been longing for theundergroundall the time Longing for theunderground?
Therefore.Kouzuki-san’s kind towardsKuromori He has been generous with the oldKuromori’sKuromori tower brothel since before.he was looking forward to coming to the mansion and taste the atmosphere of theunderground 7He made the Kouzuki security service like the organization. Because he longs for theundergroundworld.he thought of increasing the chances to be involved with theunderground I see.normally, you won’t make a VIP guard company using your name.
If you think that company is necessary.then, just secretly make one that’s apart from Kouzuki group. Make it look like it has nothing to do with the Kouzuki house’s company. That way.you can easily act freely as theundergroundorganization . Ah, that’s why. Kudou-papa doesn’t belong to Kouzuki security service.he’s doing aKudou detective officeon his own. There’s such a big writing on their office car saying.We have a business relationship with Kouzuki security service but we’re people of a different company, is an appeal to the people of theunderground That way.the peopleundergroundpeople can easily make contact with Kudou-papa.
The problem you see.Kouzuki-san believes that he’s closer to theundergroundbecause of the increased opportunities to make contact with them
Jii-chan belives so.
That he has a stronger feeling of familiarity with theunderground. He’s concerned and doesn’t want to let his family know too much about the underground. But in fact.he’s showing restricted infromation
But.Kouzuki-san’s truly asurfaceman Kouzuki-san isn’t a person from theunderground I think that gap in perception is very dangerous
.Margo-san
I think that Minaho has heard Kouzuki-san’s true purpose when they were alone in the room
His true purpose.
Kouzuki-san had to bring Cesario Viola’s party here even if at the expense of the hotel.
Right.
There must be a meaning.a purpose.
And, in order to achieve that goal.Kouzuki-san has to get out of the basement and return to the upper floor. He told Minaho the reason.and I think he convinced Minaho But, Minaho thought that it was dangerous to let Kouzuki-san go upstairs alone Therefore.Minaho-neesan head upstairs with him
Minaho.she’s anundergroundperson to her bones. She thinks properly as a person from theundergroundand she judged that it’s better to be by Kouzuki-san’s side
.Isn’t Chief Tanizawa here too? Isn’t there no problems even if chief stays byKakka’sside instead of Kuromori-sama?
Seki-san speaks her doubt.
Is there a reason why Kouzuki-san who escaped from the basement can’t join up with Tanizawa-san immediately? Like negotiating with someone where Tanizawa-san isn’t present. If not, then Minaho won’t leave thefamilyand follow Kouzuki-san Yeah.Minaho-neesan is like that.
Perhaps, this negotiation would involve ourfamilyin the future Therefore, Minaho-neesan didn’t tell anyone and escaped the basement with Jii-chan
Now then.here’s the problem
Margo-san said
What are we going to do?
.We
Are we going to stay in in the absolute line made by Tanizawa-san, looking at the restricted information and wait until morning?
Margo-san laghs.
Though, if the enemy breaks the defense line of Kouzuki security service, the enemy units will rise to this floor
Well.if we determine the main enemy unit and contain the movement of the other teams, we can exterminate Cesario Viola by putting out all the forces. I think that the current situation is advantageous to us Seki-san says, but.
But, there are four people missing, right? I think there’s still opportunities for the enemy to turn the tables
Right.Miss Cordelia and the white Viola. Then, there’s a mysterious person.
It’s no miracle if something happens in the future.
.Anyway, I think it’s better if we leave this room!
Nei-san said
I think so too. I can’t just agree to wait.I don’t want restricted information from someone, I want to know the truth
Margo-san smiles with Nei-san
I’ve got to verify it with chief Tanizawa.
Seki-san, a top elite of Kouzuki security service.has said.
I think, when we had Seki-san and Reika with us.I think that Tanizawa-san is assuming that we’re escaping this room
I said
Didn’t Tanizawa-san try to take Seki-san and Reika away from us?
Well. But.in the end, he agreed to let the two accompany us. With Reika’s strength, we can just tear away this door. If Tanizawa-san really wants to keep us locked in this room, he’ll definitely never let Reika go with us He should’ve given them a different order or something. Chief Tanizawa is Reika’s direct boss.
Besides.we have access to the hotel’s maze map. Don’t this mean that he’s assuming that we’re leaving this room?
That’s probably the case.
I’m sure that chief Tanizawa is uneasy
.Uneasy?
Seki-san asks me.
Yes. I think that Tanizawa-san is uneasy that Jii-chan and Minaho-neesan are unguarded. Therefore, I think that Tanizawa-san wishes that we join up with Jii-chan from the bottom of his heart!
Chapter 310
Chapter 310. Dark night route
I think so too. Tanizawa-san knows that we will leave this room.of course he won’t admit it officially
Margo-san said
But still.I think we should contact Chief Tanizawa
Seki-san said.
I don’t think it’s good to act according to hypothesis
As Chief Tanizawa’s subordinate, she thinks that she should ask her boss’ judgement before anything.
If you ask for his official stance.he’ll say we shouldn’t come out
Nei-san said
I can understand the feeling that you don’t want to be trapped in this room but this is safer for now. This is four floors above Chief Tanizawa’s absolute defense line. If by any chance the enemy breaks through the defense line, we can escape to the upper floors.
I didn’t come here to just run away!
Seki-san and Nei-san confront each other
Now then.that’s the problem
Margo-san smiles wryly
Seki-san is thinking of our safety first. Of course, that’s very important. But.
Margo-san’s eyes look at Nei-san
Nei.thinks that she has to confront Viola. If not, she won’t be able to escape her past suffering. I myself want to help Nei no matter what. I intend to go to the bottom of hell with her but.I won’t force everyone to join The people’s gaze gather around Margo-san
I want you all to decide what do you want to do from now on
.I
I.of course, will follow Nei-san and Margo-san. Until the end
I’ve made my resolve long ago
I’m only to protect Master. That’s my promise with Misuzu-sama
Michi responded immediately
I’ll go too!
Fujimiya-san?
Seki-san’s surprised from what Reika said
.I’m theOnee-sanso I have the obligation to protect these children
Reika’s prioritizing being our elder sister more than being the guard of Kouzuki security service.
What about Yukino?
When I asked Yukino.she put down the cup she’s drinking tea from
Of course, I’ll go with you people
.What?
I feel uneasy in this room. I don’t want to stay any longer
.Does that mean?
Fu, fufufufu
Kouzuki Kenshi laughs
I see, that’s how it is!
what?
This room of course has surveillance cameras, even bugged. Of course, this conversation is all heard
.Heard?
By Who? The one’s holding the monitor system right now is. Chief Tanizawa and Jii-chan
If you don’t wantKakkato continue watching you idling around in this room.then I guess it’s better to go outside
Kouzuki Kenshi looks at me.
I’ve said it earlier but.I don’t have anything anymore
Kouzuki Kenshi who had his father exposed as the traitor.he can’t stay in Kouzuki group unless he shows his allegiance to Jii-chan
Either way.you should feel the horror of the realundergroundworld by experience. You’re just too big-headed right now
Margo-san comments on Kouzuki Kenshi
I know it’s better to be scared. Well, I’m already ready for it.
Just how long will that frivolous talk last?
But.now that even Kouzuki Kenshi is going to leave this room. What’s left is.
.I get it already
Seki-san aighs
If I don’t go with you you won’t be able to move around the hotel! I’ll go! I’ll follow you around okay!
Seki-san is the only one who memorized the map of the maze hotel.
In truth.without Seki-san, we can’t get out of the room.
Chief Tanizawa! You’re watching anyway! I’m going to follow these children. You can fire me for violating orders or something!
Seki-san shouts at the surveillance cameras.
Sorry.you’ve got troublesomelittle brothers and sisters
Nei-san tells Seki-san
I love you Onee-chan!
Seki-san blushes in embarrassment.
I haven’t decided whether I would become your sister or not!
But still.you already are. Our Onee-chan!
Nei-san said smiling.
Reika.break the door!
Okay!
Reika holds her death cane.
There’s no need to do this.if Tanizawa-san wishes for us to escape then he can just unlock the door
Kouzuki Kenshi says ironically
Tanizawa-san is a salary man you see.he would be in trouble later if there’s no evidence that we escaped on our own. He’ll sayI heard that they’re likely to escape from the bug but when I tried to deal with it, they already broke the door and left the room Margo-san said.
.Here I come
.Doguaa!
The special alloy stick pierces and destroy the electronic lock part of the door!
.Gii
Okay, it’s open.let’s go
Margo-san goes out of the room first.
Margo-san explored the door leading to theheadquarterswhich is on the other side of the corridor just in case. The doorknob doesn’t turn. She knocks into the thick metal door.
Yeah.looks like they’re not on this floor.
Theheadquartersis an elevator, and it’s built to move around 5 floors freely.
Right now.it’s likely that they moved to another floor.
This floor is the top floor where theheadquarterscan move, right?
Nei-san nodded at Margo-san’s question.
Then that means that Chief Tanziawa is on the lower floors.
Then, should we go down?
Assuming we want to confront Cesario Viola.we only have to go down
Of course.that’s going to a more dangerous location
Should I be the vanguard?
Seki-san who’s the master of the map proposes to Margo-san.
No. We’ll change the formation but, Seki-san will have to stay in the second row please
Margo-san answered.
The vanguard will be Michi-chan
.Certainly If you think something’s strange even if it’s just slight, report it. No, I don’t mind if you attack before attacking. I’ll leave that to Michi-chan’s judgement
Margo-san seems to be intending to make full use of Michi’s ability to feel theQi
Take out your whip.if you take it out when you feel the danger, you won’t make it in time
Roger
Michi takes out the red whip from under her skirt.
Seki-san will be on second row, please navigate Michi-chan and make follow-ups
I better have my pistol out too, right?
Seki-san takes out the revolver pistol from her concealed holster
Oh, that’s not automatic? Don’t automatic have a higher number of bullets than the revolver?
Margo-san looks interested.
It’s better to have more bullets if you’re a combatant, but.I’m a guard. We’re not supposed to take the initiative to attack you see? Therefore, I’m using a revolver that works reliably in any situation than an automatic with a large number of bullets Since the level of the machines are better than they used to be, it’s rare for the automatic to jam, isn’t it?
But.this lumpy pistol somehow makes me calm. It’s trustworthy, or rather Oh.that’s great
Margo-san’s convinced from what Margo-san said.
Then.Reika-oneesan will be on the third row. Please guard Nei, him, and Yukino-san
.Sure
Reika’s weapon can only attack at short range.
Margo-san seems to have judged that it’s better for her to change positions with Michi
Then, I’ll be on the rear
Margo-san takes command while watching the surroundings from the back
That part doesn’t change.
Uhm, what about me?
Kouzuki Kenshi asks.
You’re going to follow us three meters behind. When enemy comes attacking you then shout out loud. We’ll change to an interception stance while you’re rolling around in pain. Try not to be killed instantly without making at least a noise. You’re the shield when we’re attacked from the behind so try to attract the enemy before you die Margo-san said smiling.
Uhm.I’m going to get killed?
Who knows? Well, try to do your best alone. If you’re lucky then you would live with just a major injury?
Margo-san clearly declares she’s not willing to protect Kouzuki Kenshi
Ahahaha.that’s a nice joke
No jokes.I’m serious
Margo-san’s eyes are cold.
Sorry but, from now on.we are already filled with just protecting ourfamily Take care of yourself. We don’t have any obligation to help you
Ahahaha.Seriously? Yeah.seriously
Kouzuki Kenshi seems to have noticed that he’s in the danger zone for the first time.
Kouzuki Kenshi who’s been treated as a special member of Kouzuki house all this time. He has been taught and convinced that it’s natural for others to take care and protect him. But.in this place. Thatlogicdoesn’t work. We’re already are at the limit of just protecting ourselves. We don’t have the leeway to protect other people.
As expected.should I shut in myself in that room?
Are you sure about that? That room’s door is broken already.you don’t mind being alone in there?
Margo-san smiles
.I’ll go with everyone
Kouzuki Kenshi steels himself.
Okay.let’s go with this formation Seki-san, please navigateus
.We’re going down? Yes
Margo-sansaid
Perhaps.Kouzuki-san and Minaho are below this floor. If the whole fight is planned by Kouzuki-san.then he should be thinking of interviewing Cesario Viola when the enemy strength is exhausted
Jii-chan’s going to meet Viola?
A direct interview?
That’s the only reason I could think of why he brought Cesario Viola to this hotel
Margo-san tells me.
Next.go right on the next corner
Seki-san guides us based on the map she has on her head.
Michi goes at the front searching for the enemy presence.if there’s no problem then she moves forward. It can’t be helped if it takes time. Lives are invaluable.
There’s no enemy around this area anyway
Kouzuki Kenshi said.
This is the 24th floor. It’s above Chief Tanizawa’s absolute defense line. There’s no way we would encounter anenemy Won’t you understand that if you think about it?
Didn’t we tell you about four people infiltrating during the first fight, did we?
Margo-san tells Kouzuki Kenshi
There’s only four of them right? They’re going to be recon or something anyway. I don’t think that they would be recklessly pick a fight. In the first place, they must have not reached this floor yet?
Kouzuki Kenshi states his self-theory
Well, I wonder?
MArgo-san answers while checking the back.
Miss Cordelia is someone who has teamed up with Kyouko-san in the past. If so.I think that it’s possible that she can do anything.
Margo-san doesn’t lower her guard.
.Hm?
Michi.the vanguard, stopped
What’s wrong, Michi?
Somehow, I feel some strangeQi
Michi drops her waist and sets up her whip
.Behind too
Margo-san said
.It’s coming!
Margo-san pulls Kouzuki Kenshi’s arms and pushes him in the middle
Seki-san, Reika-oneesan!
.Got it! .Here too!
Seki-san follows up Michi on front
Reika looks behindMargo-san
No, something’s in there!
Yukino points at the ceiling.not the front, not the back
Looking up! There’s a person wearing a gray protective suit sticking on the ceiling!
They completely erased their presence?
The ceiling fighter attacks from the above!
.aah!
Chapter 311
Complex 311. Team
Get down!
Margo-san turned back and throws a knife type shuriken to the enemy attacking from the ceiling
.Dosu, dosu!
The shuriken sticks to the belly of the enemy wearing gray fighting clothes but it seems they’re wearing blade deflecting vests.
The enemy’s stance only broke but there’s no damage. I cover Nei-san. I lowered my hips and and made my body as small as possible. Yuknio clings to Nei-san from behind.
Haa!
Margo-san runs at full speed and jumps to the gray enemy!
At that moment.the enemy lurking around us also takes action!
I won’t let you!
Passing through Margo-san.Reika rushes to the enemy on behind!
Michi-chan, get down!
Seki-san points the handgun to the enemy appearing in front!
.Doouun! Dauun!
She shot twice as a warning!
Though it doesn’t hit the enemy.the accurate shooting stops the movement approaching us.
.Leave this one to me!
Michi confirming the situation, she heads towards the gray enemy fighting Margo-san
Yaa! Haa!
Margo-san pulls out something like a metal flexible baton and strikes down the gray enemy coming down from the ceiling.
The gray enemy pulls out a big combat knife and fight !
.Gaki! Bakikiki!
The two metals collide and sparks fly.
Haii! Haii! Haii!
On the other hand.Reika releases a three stage thrust with her cane to the enemy on the rear!
The enemy barely avoids it.and takes a distance from us
.Dauu!
Seki-san shots another bullet!
She’s making sure the enemy in front won’t move.
.Avoid it!
Michi’s red whip flies to the gray enemy!
The gray enemy jumps backwards. While jumping, they threw a knife shaped shuriken.Michi avoids by stepping backwards. The enemy shuriken stabs the floor on Michi’s flank. Because of that.she can’t make a second shot with her whip
.Look this way!
Michi makes the beckoning cat pose.
Kudou style martial arts Mystic artShingetsu.
No, Michi!
I shouted
what?
Michi’s concentration loosens.
At that moment. The grey enemy shouted something in english
Lie down! That’s a flashbang!
MArgo-san said, I then pushed Nei-san and lied down the floor.
Yukino did the same. The front and back of the corridor shined brightly!
.Uu!
Looking up.the three enemies have already disappeared.
Is everyone okay?
Margo-san said while breathing roughly
I’m fine.Yo-chan protected me!
Nei-san answered as she hugs me.
There’s tears in her cheeks.
.My eyes are flickering. I can’t see anything
Kouzuki Kenshi seems to have taken the flash directly
Close your eyes for a while. It’ll heal with time
Seki-san answers while replenishing the bullets she shot
Sorry, I acted to disarrange the formation.
Reika apologizes to Margo-san
No.I think that was the correct decision. The enemy didn’t come close here because Reika-oneesan jumped in.
Normally, I would be in the middle of the ranks.we could’ve repelled the enemy that came in the ceiling
Reika didn’t notice the enemy on the ceiling, and it seems that her initial response was delayed.
No, that person was special so my body moved on it’s own. Normally, I’d leave it to Reika-oneesan, even though I’m the the rear and take the enemy from behind.I thought that I had to fight with the gray enemy so I jumped into the middle. If it wasn’t for Reika-oneesan jumping in and hold the enemy from the rear, it would’ve been bad.sorry Margo-san apologizes to Reika.
If it wasn’t for Margo-oneesama, I won’t be able to deal with the gray enemy
Michi said.
Margo-san pulled the shuriken the gray enemy threw on the floor.
Oh.I knew it
What’s it, Maru-chan? Here, look
Margo-san shows the enemy shuriken to Nei-san.
Following, she takes out her shuriken. The two shuriken almost have the same shape. Though, the materials and processing is slightly different.
.It means we’re fellow students
Margo-san smiles
My master is Kyouko-san. And she was with Kyouko-san before me.
Miss Cordelia.
The gray enemy earlier was Miss Cordelia? Then that means that the one who attacked from the front and behind are the white Viola and Rosalind.
Because fellow students are able to understand what’s the scope of the other.even if they break the formation, I think that Margo-san taking her own was the correct decision
Rather than that, I think that Fujimiya-san and Michi-san respnding to the sudden change formation did well. I think that Margo-san’s judgement was right.each moved to a position where they thought they could be at their best and follow up with each other. We’re working as a proper team!
Seki-san praises the entire team.
As for Seki-san.you stopped the enemy in front with just three shots, as expected
Reika said.
Well.those people weren’t serious you see
Seki-san smiles wryly
They weren’t serious? But!
Yukino’s surprised.
If they were serious then the enemy would’ve used a gun from the start. I think that most of us would be dead if they shot while completely out of sight
Margo-san also agrees.
The attack this time was just to come and check our fighting skills?
I ask Margo-san
Rather than recon.it’s more like a greeting. They didn’t come to seriously attack.
The fourth person didn’t come out
That’s right.there’s a team of four people along with Miss Viola entering the hotel.
The last one didn’t show up
Either way, I think they’re observing our situation somewhere!
Then. why did Master stop me?
Michi looks at me.
Yeah. The enemy’s aim is to wait and see.so won’t it be bad for us if we show all our cards? Besides.
There’s a doubt inside me.
We don’t know whether Michi’sShingetsuwill work on martial artists master, right?Besides, Michi didn’t notice Miss Cordelia’sQiwhen she was hiding on the ceiling, right?
We had Michi as the vanguard because we rely on her ability to perceiveQi
But, she didn’t notice Miss Cordelia If miss Cordelia is a master who can completely erase her presence.it’s possible that Michi can’t use herShingetsu
Sorry.Master
Michi bows her head.
No, it was my fault to make a formation that depends on Michi’s ability too much
Margo-san blames herself
Don’t worry about it. A monster opponent like that is hard to deal with
Seki-san smiles and Margo-san followed up.
Let’s return to the previous formation. Fujimiya-san’s the vanguard, I’m in second row. Michi-san will be protecting the other children and look for everyone’sQi Then, Margo-san will be the rear Margo-san nods at Seki-san’s proposal.
Fujimiya-san didn’t charge alone like before.if something happens suddenly, we can change our positions to our judgement just like now. We already know each other’s abilities so let’s follow up each other The combat team’s combination is definitely getting better.
As expected of the top elite of Kouzuki security service.Seki-san You’ve got a better leadership than I do
Margo-san said.
Is she losing confidence in leading the team due to Miss Cordelia’s attack?
Wrong.Fujimiya-san and I have come to thinkWhat can I do?What’s my position in the teamthanks to you. If it was me before.well, although I’ve got plenty of experience and skills, I lack the eye to look around because I only think about myself. Joining up a team like this.I’ve noticed and understood a lot of things I’m the same as Seki-san
Reika said
Up until now, I was selfish. I regret on it
Therefore.we’ll leave the team’s command to Margo-san. Of course, if we noticed something then we’ll immediately point it out, but.I think that Margo-san is the only one has the eye to look at the whole unit with the perspective of a leader Yes, don’t mind and give us more instructions
Michi adds to Seki-san and Reika.
I also trust Margo-oneesama. Let’s keep on going!
Everyone.thank you
MArgo-san’s inspired.
Yes, yes! It’ll be fine, Maru-chan! I’m sure it’ll be a good team
Nei-san said smiling.
Besides.you have good eyes. That really helped
Seki-san praises Yukino
Well, I just saw the ceiling by chance and saw some people floating around!
Yukino triumphantly snorts.
We’re expecting more from you. We’re relying on you
. Leave it to me!
This one’s so easy to get cocky.
Seki-san doesn’t know the exact relationship between Yukino and us. She only understand that we’re taking Shirasaka Sousuke’s daughter as a hostage. Well, as a hostage, Yukino’s allowed to speak as much she wants. She’s somehow calming down, or rather.she’s blending with us, but She’s big when Megu and Mana aren’t here. Those two reject Yukino too strongly.
Speaking of which.are your eyes fine now? Can you see now?
Yukino talks to Kouzuki Kenshi
Ah, it’s gotten better. I’m already fine
Yukino has a kind girl nature in reality.
It’s just that she thinks of herself as a special existence. She doesn’t understand the gap with other people. Looking at Kouzuki Kenshi’s behavior earlier.I noticed. Kouzuki Kenshi also believes that he’s special, and that he reigns over others for some reason. Therefore, he’s thinking he could bind us and be the head of Kouzuki group’sundergrounddivision. Instead of gaining our trust. He’s appealing with his ability, jumping over. Kouzuki Kenshi considers himself as a higher being than us from the beginning. That’s why he’s convinced that we’re under him without any problems. .Yukino is the same. She thinks that she’s a special being than the other people from the beginning. Therefore she’s bullying Megu. She’s horrible to her sister. Yukino and Kouzuki Kenshi are similar. Well.both of them are children of distinguished families. They’re in half-hearted positions. Jii-chan, Misuzu, and Ruriko, who are the born noble.they respond to other people properly as there’s a clear responsibility to protect the house. A half-hearted person.only clings to the authority of the house, and do unnecessary things. They can calmly shame their home just to protect their pride.
.Hm?
Huh.wait, something’s wrong
What’s the matter, Yo-chan?
Nei-san looks at my face
The students and their parents have a completely similar character, don’t they?
Yeah, for some reason, they’re all completely in sync!
.Then that means?
Kouzuki Kenshi-san’s father, Kouzuki Noboru-san is the same?
Kouzuki Nobory.induced by Miss Cordelia, he teamed with Cesario Viola but.
We aren’t alike.father and I are completely different people
Kouzuki Kenshi says clearly, but.
Completely alike.including their personalities!
Seki-san said
Seki-san is Jii-chan’s full time guard. She’s likely to be guarding even in places where the executives gather. Her opinion should be correct
What about it, Yo-chan?
If you notice something then say something. It may become an important hint
Nei-san and Margo-san looks at me.
Well, I just thought of it. but.
I look at Kouzuki Kenshi
True.Kenshi-san may have the ambition, and I think he does drastic actions
Kouzuki Kenshi belongs to the rising faction while having the blood of Kouzuki family
And he’s devoted to be the coordinator of both groups. Well it’s already known that he wants to be a boss of theundergroundof the Kouzuki Group. He’s smart, likes to do various things.he has the talent to move people as he want. Kouzuki Kenshi is never incompetent .But
Kenshi-san.let me ask you, if you were in your father’s shoes.would you plan to kill all the other executives in the current situation?
Kouzuki Kenshi.
If I was my father then I won’t do such nonsense. Apart from the strong hostile executives.it’s wrong to kill people who can be under me
Right.Kouzuki Kenshi looks down on others.
He thinks that it’s better to control foolish people one day. .He’s not an eccentric that would kill everyone.
I might want to dispose huge people who are hostile to me but.I’ll just sell gratitude to the other people. I think it’ll give better long term results.
He’s smart and talented and yet.
He loses the reality because he over evaluates himself too much He’s that type of human.
Then.don’t you think your father, Noboru-san’s actions are a bit too much? Don’t you think it’s strange to say that the leader of the traitors is your father?
No, I’m sure that my father did it. Father is a man who doesn’t like to be under other people But, it’s possible that someone has induced him, isn’t it? Well.that’s true, but Let me ask you once again.do you think that Kouzuki Noboru-san is a person who would do such radical rebelion?
Kouzuki Kenshi thinks for a while.then answered
Speaking of which.it feels wrong. The plan and action done by my father is certainly too extreme looking at the current situation.father is weak and a lowly person unlike me!
No.you’re also a lowly person!
Chapter 312
Chapter 312. Division work
.Let’s organize it a bit
Margo-san said.
First, Viola has suddenly visited Japan. That’s for certain.
It’s only a few days ago that Nei-san’s data leaked into the underground society.
Viola who was in US came into Japan quickly when he discovered that.
Kouzuki Noboru had been preparing a coup by hiding agents into Kouzuki security service. I think that’s also definite.
From the theater to the hotel, those guards that attacked us.Kouzuki Noboru’s plan for coup shows that he had made preparations way before.
I think that it’s also definite that Miss Cordellia is the one that connected Viola and Kouzuki Noboru
Viola’s aim is Nei-san.
Kouzuki Noboru’s aim is to dominate the Kouzuki group.
Miss Cordelia brought two people with different purposes together then.
Then.Viola obtained information from Kouzuki Noboru’s agents.
Kouzuki Noboru made Viola’s invasion as the chance for his coup.
.Wrong
What.Yukino?
It’s not two.there’s three. It’s Moritsugu-sama
.Oh right.
Yukino’s granduncle.The head of Shirasaka house, Shirasaka Moritsugu also has a contract with Viola. Blending with the invasion.Viola’s asked to assassinate the rebels in the corporate group of Shirasaka house and kill Shirasaka Sousuke and his family. Jii-chan said that when he was talking with the three anti-Shirasaka Moritsugu factions.
I see.if Cesario Viola’s organization’s modus is to make money from the concerned parties in just one encounter then.
That’s right.we were only concerned about Viola’s grudge against Nei-san.
Originally, Cesario Viola’s organization is one of the leading criminal organizations in US. The invasion of the enemy already exceeds the level of the male Viola’s grudge. If this is an official activity of a criminal organization then it’s natural that they would try to earn as much as possible
I think there might be a fourth or a fifth customer.
Yeah. Kouzuki Noboru’s plan is most likely only to assassinate some of the executives that doesn’t agree with him
For example, Kouzuki Souji’s father, and Kouzuki Satoshi’s father.
Kouzuki Noboru would become the only Kouzuki house’s member on the board of directors. The prince faction would collapse.and at the same time, Kouzuki Noboru who’s supposed to be in the rising faction, will become the boss of the board at once
Right.I think that’s what my father thinks
Kouzuki Kenshi affirmed.
If you think about it calmly.there’s no way my father would come up with a reckless plan to kill all the executives and evenKakka’schild.
Yeah. It’s surely another man’s plan.perhaps a fourth person who made a request to Viola or Miss Cordelia
That’s what I think
But, that’s strange.then why did I think that father has ordered all of it?
Kouzuki Kenshi says curiously
That’s because this man confidently said that thecriminal is Kouzuki Noboru
Yukino looks at me.
What.me?
That’s right, it’s you. You said it in a strong tone so everyone believed it! .sorry
True.it might be my fault
Right. Even though I don’t know what kind of man Kouzuki Noboru is. With the idea from the information at hand, I said that he’s the mastermind behind all the cases
I was wrong.
A single man’s speculation won’t move at any case. The speculations of several people intermingle.the conflicts collide and the incident grows bigger. The more people involved in this case the more it becomes complicated That’s how it is.
Wait a minute.is this really Yo-chan’s fault?
Nei-san said
It’s this man’s fault! At that time.wasn’t he the one who spoke his thoughts proudly?
Right.I’m the one who spoke the opinionKouzuki Noboru is the boss
Well that’s true, but you see. First, Yo-chan talked about his theory.Maru-chan and I verified if that theory was logically correct.but at that stage, Yo-chan’s theory is only a thought with no backing evidence.
Right. I do remember thinkingIs that really the case?.
Seki-san said
That’s right. But, but you see.there was a person who affirmed Yo-chan’s theory, appearing at a tremendously good timing you see?
That’s right.at that time.
Chief Tanizawa suddenly appeared. He praised the theory I made.
That’s when Tanizawa-san started making us feel that Yo-chan’s theory seems to be correct.making us think that Kouzuki Noboru was the mastermind behind all this?
.What?
But you see.now that I think of it, Tanizawa-san didn’t say that Yo-chan’s theory iscorrect If I recall, Tanizawa-san said.It’s quite a good reasoningdidn’t he?
.That’s right.
Chief Tanizawa didn’t say that my reasoning was correct!
You’re right. We might’ve been mislead by Tanizawa-san.
Margo-san thinks.
Please wait. But.isn’t Chief Tanizawa on our side?
Why would he be deceiving us?
Let’s go back to square one and try to verify from the start again
Margo-san tells me.
But.if Tanizawa-san is anenemythen Jii-chan?
Right.
Jii-chan is. Jii-chan who became ourfamily
.Let’s erase all the assumptions first
Margo-san said coldy
But.for Jii-chan to betray us
Then that means betraying Misuzu and Ruriko?
Could that even happen?
That’s not it.point it all back to zero
.Margo-san?
What if Chief Tanizawa isn’t moving according to all of Kouzuki-san’s instructions?
.What?
If Tanizawa-san isn’t a loyal subordinate.and he’s acting on his own will, contrary to Kouzuki-san’s orders
What if Chief Tanizawa’s a traitor?
In the first place.why is Kozuki-san acting away from Chief Tanizawa? Why take the trouble of going down the basement and going back up? Maybe, it’s to escape the eyes of Chief Tanizawa’s surveillance?
That’s right.
Jii-chan sent his full time guards to protect his two sons and their families. Why can’t it be the other top elite under Chief Tanizawa? Also, Seki-san and Reika.he allowed them to enter our team and leave his side. Does that mean, if Seki-san and Reika are with him.they can’t escape his surveillance network? In the secretemergency evacuation room.furthermore, for Chief Tanizawa to not know the existence of the secretescape passage. Then.Jii-chan’s current locations is unknown to Chief Tanizawa.
Thinking about it.I know the reason why Tanizawa-san let us out of the room 2505 Even purposely showing the map of the maze hotel.
Everyone’s eyes concentrate on Margo-san
I think he wants to find Kouzuki-san’s location.
Chief Tanizawa doesn’t have the people to search for Jii-chan now that Viola’s attacking.
No.he might be planning to make director Yamaoka do it Therefore.he came to the room where the executives are evacuated. But, both director Yamaoka and Kudou-mama became useless. Chief Tanizawa puts his eyes on us.
Of course, this is just a hypothesis. Please don’t think of it as an absolute
Margo-san said
Yes.I can’t believe it. For Chief to betrayKakka.
I think so too.Tanizawa-san is a loyal person
Chief Tanizawa’s subordinates.Seki-san and Reika are puzzled.
But.we should pay attention to the possibility
Michi said
Well.I think so too, but
But.he’s someone who servedKakkafor thirty years. Tanizawa-san is!
The two guards doesn’t seem to be convinced.
I think he’s been looking for a chance to betray all for all the decades he’s been serving
Kouzuki Kenshi said
Don’t say selfish things on a whim!
Seki-san’s angry
But you see, I think it’s shady. That old man.when I first saw him, I felt it
Yukino said.
If Chief Tanizawa’s suspicious what about Kudou-san?
When I asked.
I can understand when you thinkt hat old man is a comedian but.Tanizawa-san feels like a scammer. Our clan also has that kind of people
Our clan.Shirasaka house?
Everyone’s a good hit, in fact, there’s even educational background and abilities, though.they plot to entrap the people around behind the scenes. Suginami-ojisan resembles that person’s atmosphere so much.6
No but you see.Kouzuki-san is from Kouzuki security service, it’s natural for him to work behind the scenes. He’s just sociable.
Since he’s the chief of VIP guards.
It’s natural that his communication skills are high.
But you see. I feel something’s fishy with that person
Yukino seems to dislike chief Tanizawa instinctively.
Anyway, we can’t say anything but.let’s just have it in mind that we have to be careful with Tanizawa-san Right now we’re on the critical moment.we can’t afford to overlook any possibility
Margo-san said
That’s right, this is a battlefield. If you think naively.even if it’s trivial, your life would be lost immediately
Then.what should we do? Should we stop searching forKakka?
Reika asks Margo-san
No, I think that looking for Jii-chan and Minaho-neesan is the top priority.
If chief Tanizawa is really the enemy.
Then it’s too dangerous to leave the two of them without being guarded.
Right! It’s better if we join as soon as possible. Then, we can hear Kouzuki-san and Sensei’s story
Nei-san said.
Yeah.in fact, I think we should talk directly to Jii-chan and Minaho-neesan. There’s so many questions I want to be answered.
By the way.the fourth person related to the enemy. There’s the problem left which is.who asked the enemy to kill all of the board of directors?
Kouzuki Kenshi said.
Let’s not talk about that for now.we don’t know if our guesses are correct. There’s a huge possibility that we become misdirected
Margo-san dismissed Kenshi’s question.
We’ve already have enough of misleading things! Then that means!
Nei-san looks at Kouzuki Kenshi’s face.
.What?
What about you.could you be a spy that theenemysent to confuse us?
Kouzuki Kenshi laughs out loud.
You say something funny
Is that a no? Isn’t that just thedevil’s proof?Nobody here can prove that they’re not atraitor
Kouzuki Kenshi smiles
Every human has something suspicious about them.
.I
No.there’s no traitor in ourfamily
Isn’t that just your own selfish thought?
Kouzuki Kenshi provokes me.
I’ll never betray Master
Michi said
Even Yo-chan will never betray Mi-chan!
The one Master will never betray is you
Michi looks at Nei-san
Right.he’ll never betray Nei
Margo-san won’t betray Nei-san too, would you?
I asked
Reika won’t betray her family right?
Yes. I’ll absolutely protect my little sisters.
.Reika
Inside Reika’s head.my priority is low. What Reika wants isfamily.not aman Well, that’s fine
Even I will protect everyone
Seki-san said.
If chief Tanizawa makes another order.I will not accept it. I will continue guarding until everyone’s safe. I’m a guard who protects people. My weapon is to protect.
Seki-san said.then she looks at the pistol at her hand.
Oh.so everyone has god faith it seems?
Kouzuki Kenshi shows a shrewd smile
Then.the only suspicious people are her and me, right?
Saying that.he looked at Yukino
No.I believe in Yukino
.What?
Yukino’s surprised from what I said.
Yukino’s highanded, selfish, egoistic.but not a bad person. Her true essence is a good girl
you.what are you saying?
Yukino’s feverish.
On the day of entrance ceremony.wasn’t it Yukino who talked to the dark and depressed me?
.That’s right.
At the day of the entrance ceremony.my father disappeared. It was Yukino who called out to me who’s depressed and trembling.
That’s a lie! There’s no way I would be calling out to someone like you!
Yukino doesn’t seem to remember.
The me on the day of the entrance ceremony. But, I remember. At that day, Yukino was beautiful.and kind. Since that day.I’ve been obsessed with Yukino.
But, you’re right. Yukino was gentle to me
Kouzuki Kenshi glares at me.
Uhm.she’s Shirasaka Yukino-san, isn’t she?
That’s right, I am Shirasaka Yukino. What about it?
Yukino asks Kenshi as if she’s protesting.
No.I’ve always wondered. Why is everyone letting a woman of the enemy force walk freely?
True.Shirasaka house is our enemy
Both Kouzuki house andKuromoriare hostile against them. .But
Yukino’s not anenemy
I said
But, she’s not also anally!
Nei-san tells me
You mustn’t make a mistake on that part, Yo-chan
That’s right, Yukino isn’t anally
She’ll never become myally Yukino and I will never understand each other. That’s how apart our hearts are. I know that
That’s right. I hate you so much after all!
Yukino said
It’s no use persuading me. I hate men like you with all my guts. The hate I have for you have already marked on a DNA stage! Normally, I don’t even want to hear you speak but for now.
She glares at me frustrated.
It can’t be helped.that’s right, I’ve got no other choice so I’m talking with you! Be grateful!
I laughed.
What?What’s so funny!
No.I just thought that if Mana was here, she’d say something horrible to Yukino again
Yeah.Mana would attack Yukino.
Megu would surely glare.
That girl’s stupid.so she got deceived by a bad man like you. She’s still a child so it can’t be helped.
Yukino looks at me.
Take care of Maika. Take responsibility for her
.Yukino Now that it came to this.there’s no other choice. Our house would be collapsing
Yukino looks down.
Her father was socially annihilated. Even if Shirasaka house survives.she knows that she has no more place in there anymore.
It’s miserable but.I think that I’ve got no choice but to leave Maika to you. Bowing my head to Yuzuki Sensei and Kouzuki Misuzu.above all, Megumi is something I absolutely hate.
Yukino’s pride will never allow it.
Therefore, it has to be you. Take care of Maika okay!
What about Yukino-san, what are you planning to do?
Nei-san asks Yukino
Even I want to know that!
Yukino answers self-mockingly.
She can’t see her future at all Yukino’s frustrated.
Well, that talk is already over! Let’s go! Even if it’s above or below! I’m already done taking this hallway!
Saying that, Yukino goes in front trotting
Hey, wait.don’t go alone!
I chase after Yukino
Ah, wait.Yo-chan!
.Master!
Nei-san and Michi follows me.
The formation collapsed. At that moment!
.Shukokon!
.Sukokokokon!
Gas bombs were shot out from the ceiling.
I’ve seen this before! When old man Dai Grepher retreated from the battle with the enemy. Then that means the one manipulating this is.
.Nei!
At the moment Margo-san tries to chase us!
.Dodadadadadada!
A machine gun from behind?
Bullets open a hole from the top of the wall. The first shots was a warning?
Everyone, hide yourself on a nearby cover!
We try to hide ourselves but.
As a result.the distance between MArgo-san and us opens!
.Gyuiin!
Suddenly, a loud noise.and the firedoor comes from the ceiling!
if this continues. We’ll be divided!
Chapter 313
.Zudadadadada!
.Doudadadadada!
The number of machine guns from the back is increasing!
Three.no, it might be more.
.Dougagagagagaga!
.Toudadadadadadada!
Different types of machine guns? The gunshot that comes to my ears are different.
A heavy rain of bullets. Seki-san can’t even shoot back. Margo-san and Reika can’t move either. Meanwhile.the fire door comes down at high speed. Should we go back to where Margo-san is? But, If I raise my head.I’ll surely be shot!
what the hell
The frightened Yukino clings to me from behind
Hey, Yukino.let go!
I can’t act fast if Yukino’s clinging to me.
No way!
Yukino shouts half-panickingly!
.Oh The firedoor’s closing!
.Wiin.don!
It’s completely closed.
We’re separated from Margo-san.
.Master!
Michi shows up from behind.
This fire door prevents the machine gun bullets. It’s okay now
Michi did come to this side?
Ahaha.they got us now
Nei-san’s here too?
Then, Yukino and me.
Dear me.this is a troubling situation
Kouzuki Kenshi.you’re here too?
Margo-san, Seki-san and Reika are separated by the fire door. We’re completely done.
The other side was waiting for our formation to collapse with the surveillance cameras. They’ve always ben able to manipulate our progress route with firedoors?
The people who can do that.
Are only the people in the headquarters controlling all the systems in the hotel. In short.chief Tanizawa?
Could it be that they were eavesdropping our conversation? Then they immediately took action as soon as they doubted Chief Tanizawa? As expected of Tanizawa-san, an immediate judgement of his is amazing While we were speaking about our doubts on Tanizawa-san, I thoughtIs that really so?somewhere in my mind.
Tanizawa-san himself knew it. We’re still skeptical whether he’s an enemy or not. Well.Margo-san, Seki-san, and Reika are the same. Therefore, our carelessness.though there’s a surveillance network on this hotel, we talked about our suspicion about Tanizawa-san. Who would have thought that the enemy would be making a move this face.
.Dogaa!
The sound of something hitting comes from the other side of the fire door.
.Reika? But.the fire door doesn’t even move an inch. It’s really a wall made of bulletproof and anti-bomb specifications
.Yo-chan!
Nei-san puts the communication device to her hear.
That’s right.we have to use the communication device when in trouble, right. Michi and I did the same thing as Nei-san.attaching the communication device.
.Can you hear me? Nei, Over?
I can hear you, Maru-chan.Over
To prevent interference while communicating in the vicinity, they putOverat the end of the words.
Then.we have to clearly tell who we’re talking to and who you want to answer.
Is that side okay? Maru-chan.Over
Yeah. When the fire doors went down, the machine gun people immediately retreated.over They were shooting from quite the distance.to the extent that Michimouto’sQisensor didn’t reach. Over
Reika said
I’m very sorry.Over
It’s not that we’re blaming Michi-chan. The enemy just had it better. Besides.it seems that the other side’s purpose is to divide us so they didn’t seriously shoot us. Over What do you mean, Margo-san? Over
I asked.
Their exact aim isn’t us. If they really intend to kill us then they should’ve closed their distance.then, we could’ve dealt with them but. If they shoot at a distance random, it won’t do anything.over There was five people shooting from behind? Over
Michi said
Michi properly counter the numbers. If it’s 5 then it’s not Miss Cordelia. Then, as suspected.
Yeah, I confirmed it as well. There’s three of the same type of machine guns.the remaining two were different types. The gunshots were completely different. Over
Yes.all of them are used by the top elites of Kouzuki security service. The two are personal and the three were supplied
Seki-san said.
I don’t know who exactly shot specifically. There’s a habit of rhythm when shooting, so. The five of them are top elites under chief Tanizawa.over
.Was it under Tanizawa-san’s instructions?
Yes, I also discovered it.Over
Reika says.
There’s no doubt.
In that case.it’s better not to say that much over this communication device. This is the machine borrowed from Kouzuki-san in the basement, right?
Margo-san sighs.
Since there are repeaters in the walls of each floor, it’s a system that would enables you to talk underground you see? It means that it’s easy to eavesdrop from the repeaters.Over
If you’re someone controlling the system.
No, this is a hotel of surprises. This mechanism was built to be eavesdropped from since the start.
Got it, Maru-chan.it’s better to talk while thinking that we’re being heard.Over
That’s how it is, Nei.Over
We’re separated by a wall so this communication device is necessary.
Phones can only make one-on-one calls. Or rather.if we make a call in this hotel, it would be eavesdropped whatever we do. Therefore, we have to keep talking prepared that we’re being listened to.
Anyway.it seems that the layout inside this floor hasn’t changed except for the walls that were closed now. If we go around the wall from here.it’ll take at least ten minutes. But, it’s not that we can go there, be at ease.
Seki-san remembers the map for each of the maze floors.
Even if one place is blocked.it seems that she knows where to go to reach our place.
Don’t leave that place okay?Over
Right. If you move poorly then you’ll lose track of the current location.we won’t be able to catch up. Over
Seki-san and Margo-san said, but.
But, I don’t think that the enemy would allow us to join up.Over
Margo-san and others might be attacked multiple times while we detour.
We should start preparing for that. The enemy is listening to our calls.
It’s fine. We’re professionals.whatever happens, we’ll absolutely pick you up so wait there.Over
.Margo-san
.Hey hey, what are they saying?
Yukino who doesn’t have a communication device looks at my face.
They’re going to take a detour and pick us up here.so we’re waiting
Really, here? No, there’s no other choice, We can’t walk around the hotel freely
Kouzuki Kenshi who doesn’t have the communication device speaks as such
.poke poke Hm?Michi’s poking my shoulder
.What’s up?
Michi shows her phone to me.
She’s hiding the screen with her hand. She’s afraid that the screen’s reflected on the surveillance camera. She moves her hand carefully so she can make it visible to only me. I see.using the compose mail mode. .We can communicate by writing. Instead of sending mails.we can just show the sentences as we write directly, we can tell our messages without being eavesdropped. Michi’s screen writes this;
I remember the maps of the hotel
.Michi?
Michi quickly writes the next sentence.
When Seki-san was memorizing earlier, I’ve been observing from the side
Earlier in the room 2505.she was memorizing the map together with Seki-san who’s looking at the terminal?
.As expected of Michi With Michi on our side, we can freely walk around the hotel.
Please don’t tell others about this
Yeah.it’ll only be bugged if I talk it here.
I’ll keep it in my mind for now.
What are you two doing?
Yukino asks me.
Nothing. It’s a private subject
Oh right.
From now on.if you come up with something, write it on your phone. Just show what you want to say on screen to the other party. Be careful that it doesn’t appear on cameras
I see, that’s a nice idea!
Kouzuki Kenshi nods.
But, I don’t have a phone with me
I see, Yukino.
She’s kidnapped by us.
It’s fine.you can just continue talking what you think as usual
Michi said
What’s with that? Are you making fun of me?
That’s not what I mean. I just thought that it’s better for you. Your power to say anything you think without feeling the atmosphere around you, it’s been working effectively as an alarm. You don’t have any bias .Bias?
Then those three people first attached.Margo-oneesama, Seki-san, and Reika-oneesama had their confidence in my ability to sense theQi I also had confidence in my ability. Therefore, I didn’t notice the enemy approaching who erased theirQi You’re the only one who noticed the enemy sticking on the ceiling That’d right.Yukino’s the only one who didn’t believe in Michi’s ability so she noticed the enemy.
At that time.if your warning was delayed for a few seconds, I think the enemy have already defeated us. Thank you very much
Michi bows her head to Yukino
Eh.that’s, what.
Yukino’s puzzled1
Yeah, it is as Michi said. At that time, Margo-san threw her shuriken at the very limit so the enemy dodged it somehow, but. If Yukino didn’t notice theenemy.Nei-san would’ve been caught. Nei-san falling into the hands of the enemy means our defeat.
Therefore, please say what you think from now on.without any bias, Please
Michi said, Yukino.
i get it.I just have to say what I think right? What? I can do that much.
Why are you being embarrassed?
Right. Then, should I try to speak out my opinions too?
Kouzuki Kenshi smiles.
Your opinions are unneeded!
Michi said clearly
You’re a mass of bias after all!
.True
Right.you’re making wrong impressions on our relationships.of course you may say that’s what we’re making you think but anyway, you’re dominated with bias!
.Nei-san
Yukino-chan doesn’t have any bias so yeah.it helps!
Nei-san smiles
.Master, please stay by her side
Michi whispers to my ears as she look at Nei-san.
She’s quite nervous.
I see.she’s separated from Margo-san.
Nei-san’s heart is in panic. But still.she’s trying to encourage us as the senior, theelder sister
Nei-san !
I hold Nei-san’s hand
.Cold. As expected, she’s under excessive tension.
What’s wrong, Yo-chan?
Nothing.I just want to be by Nei-san’s side
I cuddle with Nei-san
Geez.you’re a spoiled child! Yo-chan!
Nei-san leans her body to me.
Do you hate spoiled boys?
Not at all.get spoiled a lot
I hug Nei-san
.We’re moving while looking at the situation. There’s no attacks so far. We might come there faster than we thought.Over
Seki-san’s voice comes from the device.
No, there’s no way there’s nothing.concentrate. Over
Margo-san said.
Speaking of which.even though the information is restricted, can’t we see the image on this floor from the emergency evacuation room in the basement? At least we can check if there’s enemies or not.Over Nei-san said
Right. Should we ask them?Hello, Katsuko-san? It might be Misuzu-chan but, can anyone in the basement hear us?
Margo-san tries to contact the underground.
.Unfortunately, The communication with the underground is now disconnected.Over
.Who?
This voice is.
.Miss Cordelia?
Margo-san mutters
.Correct
At that moment.Michi shouted
They’re coming from the front!
There’s three silhouette coming from the other side of the corridor.
There’s two in black combat clothes.and one in gray combat clothes. They’re not erasing theirQithis time. They’re walking towards here calmly
Margo-san.they’re coming this way. The three from earlier.Over
I reported.
Shit!the attack earlier was a diversion?
That’s right, Margo Starkweather!
It’s not a voice form the device anymore.
Miss Cordelia’s real voice is heard clearly
Najima Yasuko and Shirasaka Yukino.the two targets and three extra
The three’s eyes look at us.
Then.we’ll be taking you all!
Those three pulls out guns from the holster.
1. The original text indicates Nei-san, but I don’t think Nei-san should be puzzled in this situation
Chapter 314
Chapter 314. Prisoner
.Michi bends over.
She’s aiming for an opportunity to counterattack the enemy but. Stop that, Michi
I said.
Our back’s completely blocked by a thick fire door. The thee people on the other side are professionals. Even if she could create an opportunity withShingetsu.Michi won’t be able to protect the four of us. Above all.I don’t think we should let them know about Michi’sQiskills.
Ojou-chan seems to be using some strange technique!
Miss Cordelia laughs fearlessly
.She knows it?
.It seems that it was foolish to show it in front of father
Michi mutters.
Right.Michi usedShingetsuto Kudou-papa Were they watching the surveillance cameras? In that case.Miss Cordelia’s already hacked into the system of the hotel. No.if Chief Tanizawa really betrayed us then it’s better to think that information about us are already given to Miss Cordelia.
Don’t move, we don’t want you killed yet. We want you to live for a while longer. You’ve got an important role.yes, a hostage
Miss Cordelia removes the googles and mask covering her face.
Yeah.there’s no doubt. It’s the same face of the white woman coming to the theater this afternoon. There’s earphone on her ears and a small microphone on her mouth. She takes out the communication device from her pocket.
That’s how it is.Margo Starlkweather, hurry up and recover them
Miss Cordelia’s communication device is completely the same as ours.
The color, shape, size, and material. Our devices were placed at theemergency evacuation roomin the basement. In short.these are originally equipment of Kouzuki security service. Having a completely identical equipment means. I can only think that someone from Kouzuki security service handed the device to miss Cordelia. The possibility of Miss Cordelia and chief Tanizawa’s connection is becoming thicker.
Maru-chan.this is bad. We’ve got no choice but to be taken. Over
Nei-san said frustratingly
.I’ll definitely come to save you. I definitely will1
Margo-san’s voice comes from the other side of the communication device.
Well, Good Luck.2 I’m expecting you!
Miss Cordelia speaks to the device.
We’re going to the 21st floor as planned.come after us Over
.21st floor?
My, isn’t that your plan? Didn’t you broadcast a while ago that you’ll be confronting Cesario Viola on the 21st floor?
Right.
Nei-san impersonated Kei-san and told ViolaI’ll wait on the 21st floor But, that’s where Kouzuki security service’s.no, chief Tanizawa’sabsolute defense lineset up, it’s a line that can pull the enemy so it’s only declared astemporary The purpose of that is to make Viola aim for the21st floor.yet it’s only an excuse to see through the main unit of Viola who’s pushing forward.
Actually, Nei-san isn’t planning to wait for Viola at the 21st floor.
You need to execute it once decided.how do you say it in Japanese? Oh rightShoshikantetsu3!
