Ah, I’ll bring Morisawanego!
I’m O’Sullivan Aniki’s follower, i’m sorry for Big Boss, but I have to prioritize Aniki here
that’s unfair of you!
Are you guys even Yakuza?
Yeah! You go with Big Boss Instead
Ugh, I feel my stomach is grumbling. It might be food poisoning!
Ugh, my chronic disease!
aah! My old scar on my knee hurts!
Hey! Wait! Tanakaa!
Most of the members are starting to run away.
Then, we’re going back now
Edie laughs.
that’s right, let’s hurry up!
Kudou Haruka’s still clinging to me.
With that said, could you guys give way?
Margo-san said. Then the black-clothed Yakuza makes way by sticking to the wall.
Oh, by the way, My name’s Margo Starkweather Kuromori. In one year, I’ll be a world-famous personality
And I’m Nei! Remember that!
They smiled at the Yakuza guys.
Okay, okay! Give way!
Kinoshita-san orders the Yakuza.
Then,
Margo-san and Nei taking the lead, Edie, Kudou Haruka, and I walk in the center as Kinoshita-san follows behind. We walk through the corridor as the Yakuza gives us a sidelong glance.
Then, we reached the elevator hall.
Oh, the Yakuza’s still on the floor.
Here
The floor guard from Kouzuki SS opens the elevator and is waiting for us.
Thanks
Kinoshita-san thanked her colleague.
We get in the elevator.
Well then, goodbye everyone!
Nei waves her hand to the dumbfounded Yakuza.
Then, the elevator door closes.
Phew.
With that, Oodori-san will only have only the new guards with him
Margo-san mutters.
But, he didn’t show up at all
I thought that was strange.
After one of the four major leaders were taken down, Morisawa Mami appears right away.
She changed her response in no time after knowing the strength of our group.
Even so, Oodori doesn’t appear even after his minions are beaten up.
It can still count as a failure of the subordinates
Margo-san said.
The living four are all equal rank, and so the failure of one is also a responsibility of the three. Therefore, she responded right away. But, Oodori-san is the big boss. With that, Oodori-san can pretend that he didn’t know what happened and throw all of the blunders to his subordinates. But if he showed himself before us, it would involve him in the case, and that’s why he had to draw the line What does that mean?
I asked.
That would be to kill all of us
Edie smiled. Kudou Haruka trembles.
That’s it. It’ll affect Oodori’s name if he doesn’t go that far. But, Oodori-san saw our power
Oodori knows that Kinoshita-san knocked out over 50 Yakuza by herself, and he also knows that O’Sullivan is knocked out quickly.
Even though there’s only a small group of guards among his subordinates, it would be impossible for him to kill us, The other floor has Kouzuki SS, and then Satake’s group
Margo-san explains.
Oodori-san didn’t show up because he can’t
Nei laughs.
By the way, which floor are we going to next?
Kinoshita-san asks us as she faces the elevator’s control panel.
Ah.
We still haven’t decided which floor should we go to.
The elevator door is closed, but we’re not moving anywhere.
I guess, we’ll head to the 11th floor?
We’re here to do power scouting.
We’ve drastically reduced the strength of Oodori on the 13th floor, so we should go to the 11th floor, right?
No, let’s go to the 14th floor now
Margo-san said.
14th floor.
That’s the venue for the deal today.
As said earlier, Satake’s just a new guy, he doesn’t have the same prominent name leaders, and I don’t think he’s that close with the old names in Yakuza
She smiled and looked at me.
Therefore, it would be impossible to employ the same strategy we just did earlier. If things go badly, they might come at us ready to die
Son Goku said that don’t chase someone that’s cornered already
Edie nods to herself.
Son Goku, what?
That’s not Son Goku! It’s Sun Tsu!
Kudou Haruka retorts.
Oh right! I messed that up!
How can you mess that up?
Both have Sun in their names! 1
Edie’s doing that on purpose.
Okay, how do you differentiate the two?
One’s from Dragon Balls and the other one is a Chinese General!
Oh! I get it now!
See?
But, why 14th floor? If we’re done with the recon, then let’s go to the 16h floor with Jii-chan
Minaho-neesan and the sisters are in there.
I still have to talk to Jii-chan about the three.
Yo-chan, take a look
Nei shows me her watch.
The time is 2:50 PM.
Do you remember what time the deal will start?
Three o’clock.
That’s right. We only have ten minutes left, it’s better if we go to the venue and wait
Margo-san tells me.
That’s right, either way, Kouzuki-ojiichan’s coming down
No.
Even if I’m dumb, I can tell what’s going to happen.
Margo-san, could it be
You don’t have to say it. You’re correct
I was made to join this power scouting because,
Jii-chan’s making prior consultations with Minaho-neesan and the Takakura sisters before the deal.
Maybe it’s problematic if I’m there.
Is it Minaho-neesan? Or Jii-chan?
Who can’t make a choice in my presence?
Why not both?
Edie smiles.
Minaho and Kouzuki-san are having a mature talk
Margo-san tells me.
Yoshinobu-kun, you should be aware that you’re powerless, and that your opinion doesn’t hold weight
Yeah, I’m just a high school boy.
I’m dumb. Poor.
I’m a failure, an inferior being.
Once you feel hopelessness in yourself, then you’ll start to know what you can do by yourself. You’ll see what’s your true power
In this case, Minaho-neesan had me take care of the Takakura sisters, but,
In a conversation between adults,
In Jii-chan’s business and Shou-neechan’s strategy meetings,
I can’t participate in there,
No, that’s natural.
There’s no meaning in me participating in that conversation.
They’re adults, and I’m just a kid.
But, Tsukiko, Yomiko, and Luna,
I still need Jii-chan to approve that the sisters won’t become prostitutes.
Do you think that Minaho can’t persuade Kouzuki-san?
That’s.
No, Minaho-neesan can persuade Jii-chan better than I can.
Just leave it to Kouzuki-ojiichan and Minaho-oneechan! Yo-chan, you should do what only you can do
Nei smiled and hugged me.
Nei buries my face in her plump breasts.
But I can’t think of anything that only I can do
Right here, right now.
We’re in a hotel with Yakuza and Kouzuki SS.
What can I do?
If you can’t think of it, look for it, there surely is one. That’s why Yo-chan’s here
I don’t get it
For now, let’s go to the 14th floor!
Kinoshita-san pushes a button to raise the elevator.
We arrived on the 14th floor.
Okay, we’re here
The 14th floor is filled with Kouzuki SS guards.
Jii-chan’s gonna show up, so it’s natural.
Kinoshita-san leads us to a room large enough for a banquet.
Oh, looks like they’re ready
Margo-san looked around and said.
This really is a spacious room. It’s wide enough to fit in our school’s gym.
The ceiling’s also high.
However.
Why are the chairs lined up like this?
Who knows? I don’t know much about Yakuza customs
The venue has a large square space in the center.
Then, chairs are arranged facing each other on the left, right, and in the front.
The front is covered in a large amber curtain.
Could this be?
A karate match venue?
Kudou Haruka’s right.
If that curtain had a sign saying Heisei Judo Tournament or something, then it would be perfect.
The space in the middle is about four times as large as the Judo grounds.
Yeah, the seats divided into the left, right, and front, have considerable distance.
I guess this is to prevent the Yakuza from fighting each other.
Oh, you’re finally here
Shou-neechan’s near the microphone stand placed in front of the curtain.
Kinoshita, good job. Stand in position for now
Okay
Thanks a lot
I thanked her.
Not at all! It was fun for me too! See you later!
Kinoshita-san parts from us while swinging around her flail as she smiles.
Err
I look around.
Where’s Jii-chan, Minaho-neesan, and the sisters?
Kakka will arrive last
Shou-neechan smiled as she looked at me.
We can’t afford to have Kouzuki-san come down before the safety of the whole venue is confirmed, right?
Margo-san tells me.
Oh. I see.
That’s not it
Huh, Shou-neechan?
Well, there’s various stuff on in regards to the ceremony
i see.
Then, is Tsukiko and the two coming after Jii-chan?
Yes, that’s the plan
Then, Taki-san from Kouzuki SS comes in trotting.
Seki-san, the west side is ready
I see, what about the east side?
That side seems to be taking a bit more time
East. West?
What about our guys?
They’re on standby
Then, let’s begin in five minutes. The others will be right after the ceremony
Roger
Taki-san starts half-running again.
It would be hard to have the two groups of Yakuza bump each other on the way, right? And so we used the elevators and stairs at the end of the building and have them go to this floor. The big bosses will take the elevators, and the followers will take the stairs. The other floors are open for the general customers, and so we can’t have the elevators occupied forever. The dozens of underlings going in the elevator would bother the other guests Oh my, we occupied an elevator for a long while though.
Sorry about that.
And so, for the left and right, no, I mean east and west side of the banquet room, There are waiting rooms in the east and west, but once they’re there, the Yakuza will stay in there and enter here in turns. This is to prevent confusion I see. There’s a lot to consider.
As for the witnesses, they’ll come from the southern reserve room, and they’re already there
Then that means
In front of us, the curtain side is the north. Well, for the sake of convenience, I’ll just call it front. Then, on the east side comes Oodori. Satake’s group will be from the west side
And from the south side, would be the witnesses from the big names in Yakuza.
Then that means,.
I think Jii-chan would be sitting behind this big curtain in the front.
And, where should we go?
Margo-san asks. Shou-neechan;
Can you see the chairs near the wall at the end of the curtain? For now, stay over there
Yeah, there’s some pipe chairs near the wall.
Sorry, but this is a place where Kouzuki house and the two groups of Yakuza would have a deal, Kuromori house isn’t involved
I see.
We can observe the deal, but,
We’re not a direct participant in this.
Minaho-san and Michi-chan should be going there too
As for Tsukiko and the two.
They’re the descendants of Takakura shrine and the root of today’s deal.
Therefore, they’ll be involved in this ceremony.
It’s okay. Reika’s with the sisters, don’t worry about it
Rei-chan is an ace of Kouzuki SS, if she’s guarding the three, then there’s no problem.
The Yakuza should know Rei-chan, she’s a celebrity by now.
It’s okay. If anything happens, Michi and I will jump in
Edie tells me.
Then, let’s go to our seats. Shou-oneechan’s busy in organizing the ceremony after all
Nei said and smiled.
That’s right. I’m the MC today thanks to Kakka’s orders
MC?
Master of the ceremonies, I’m basically the host
Shou-neechan sighed.
Chapter 734
Our seats are placed in a place that doesn’t stand out.
In fact, it’s placed in a spot with no lights and close to the wall.
Well, it can’t be helped. Let’s go sit for now
Margo-san smiles wryly, and then we sit down on the pipe chairs.
Margo-san, Nei, me, Kudou Haruka, and Edie is the arrangement.
Geez, why do I have to be in here too?
Kudou Haruka grumbles.
Then.
Aneue, you cling to Master too much
Michi who erased her presence appears.
Huh, what?
Your arms
Ah, Kudou Haruka’s still clinging to my arm, right.
Huh, what? Huh?
She didn’t seem to notice it either.
It can’t be helped, she’s trembling in fear inside after all
Edie smiles wryly
Ah, I
Don’t try to gloss it over. Michi and I can sense people’s Qi
Then, she looked at the curtains.
We can’t read people’s minds like Tsukiko and the two though
Then, she leaves her seat and hands it over to Michi.
Sit over here, Michi
Thank you
Michi sits down next to me.
Master, me too
What?
Michi also clings to me.
She’s rubbing her small chest to my arm.
For some reason, the Kudou sisters sandwich me now.
Uhm, Michi, where’s Minaho-neesan?
I don’t see Minaho-neesan anywhere.
Kuromori-sama won’t be going down until the initial noise quiets down
So she’s still in the upper floor?
I mean, what initial noise?
Reika-oneesama and Yomi Yomi are with her, please don’t worry about her
Well, if Rei-chan’s with her, then it’s okay.
Then.
The venue’s lights go dark.
Err, we’re sorry for the long wait. We’re now commencing the reconciliation ceremony between Kouzuki house, Kansai Raijin Houkai, and Unryuu Kaizan Yamamori!
Shou-neechan shouts at the mic in the square bracket.
First, coming from the west side is Unryuu Kaizan Yamamori group coming in
Guwashaa
The door at the west entrance opens.
Outside are the bustling Yakuza coming in.
It’s about 50 of them, I think.
Well, Edie took down at least 15 in the underground parking lot.
Adding the members who came to Tokyo yesterday, and the guys who accompanied Satake today, this is all of them.
Kouzuki SS already had a number of those who chased after Tsukiko taken down after all.
Still.
With Oodori’s group, almost all of them are wearing a black suit, but,
The group surrounding Satake are wearing various styles.
They don’t have a uniform, and most of them are wearing flashy colors.
Somehow, they look like guys who’re about to drink the night away.
Wow, there’s even a guy wearing sunglasses and jersey.
Still, what’s that drawing on that jersey?
Oh, Yakuza who wear that still exist. That’s a Medusa pattern
Margo-san smiles.
Medusa pattern?
Oh, I see the snakes as hair.
Yeah, that’s definitely a Medusa pattern. Cool.
Yakuza really loves that pattern, right? That Medusa pattern and brand
Yeah. That one’s wearing the same brand from top to bottom
Nei also starts giving the Yakuza a fashion check.
They’re meeting with Kouzuki-san and other big names in Yakuza, and so the underlings try to dress up like that to show that they’re not afraid
But, that makes them look like a small fry instead
Margo-san and Nei give their analysis.
Ah, there he is. That one is Satake. If the documents are accurate
Looking at where Margo-san’s pointing at,
One man is wearing a well-tailored suit.
He’s thin and short.
However, his look is sharp, and there’s an image that his flesh is trained enough.
He’s giving out an overwhelming aura.
Hmm.
He feels like a champion in minimum weight boxing from the Pacific.
He’s not a heavyweight boxer, nor a world champion.
But, he’s strong in his own way.
Besides, Satake is a fat and tall man wearing an embroidered satin college jacket.
We’re indoors, and yet he’s still wearing his purple cap. He’s even wearing sunglasses.
He’s got a huge metal necklace hanging on his neck and also his hand is filled with huge rings.
That’s Satake’s close aide, DJ Kinzou
Margo-san laughs.
His name is Sugai Kinzou, 38 years old. The DJ in his name means both Disc Jockey and Dangerous Joker
Dangerous Joker Kinzou, are you a middle schooler?
For the time being, Satake-san’s group sits down on the designated chairs on the west side.
They’re all misbehaving like idiots.
Some cross their legs, resting their hands on the back of the chair, placing their foot on the chair in front, taking two chairs for one, lying down on a line of chairs.
Despite all that, nobody’s sitting on the front row.
Oh, this is like our school delinquents.
They try to sit behind and think of how to look as bossy as possible.
Ah, mother!
Kudou Haruka finds her mother among the Satake Group.
Yamaoka’s over there too.
No, the two sits down with manners, and so they stand out.
Quiet, Aneue
Michi stops her sister.
Michi, what’s going on?
Isn’t that obvious? They’re annoying Kouzuki SS
Margo-san said, smiling.
Those two were regular employees, and they were even pivotal members. They’re making threats saying We know a lot of confidential information about Kouzuki SS. If you don’t want it exposed, then. or something like that Therefore, they take Yamaoka and Michi’s mother in the venue.
Next, coming from the east side, please enter, Kansai Raijin Houkai
As Shou-neechan says that, the east door opens up.
In it appears 30 weak looking Yakuza in black clothing.
These guys are lined up orderly, and they behave well.
In the end, that’s all that remains among Oodori-san’s close associates. But thanks to that, they look organized
But you know, he came with his four devas to show off his power, didn’t he? I think that this number would make him look like he’s being shabby
Margo-san and Nei give their first impression.
Oh, so that one’s Oodori-san?
I’m convinced after seeing the old man wearing a Hakama showing up in the back.
It’s the same man that was in Tsukiko’s memories.
He also shows an evil look in his eyes.
His hair and build are older compared to Tsukiko’s memory. He’s having white hair now.
Tsukiko’s memory was from a few years back.
Oodori’s group goes to their designated seats.
These guys sit down from the first row, and they don’t leave an empty space.
Oh hey look at them! Kansai Raijin Houkai only had 30 people in them!
Jeering comes from Satake’s group immediately.
Where did your prided four devas go?
Well, maybe they run away from us out of fear?
I guess that’s natural!
Huh? What’s the name of the four again?
Living four?
Pfft! Yet they disappeared without a trace!
It’s 50 vs. 30 after all.
I don’t think that the numbers make the difference though.
But it seems that Satake’s group is glad that Oodori brought fewer people than them.
Come to think of it, Takasaki Ichiro was talking to someone on the phone while playing mahjong.
He was making a demand to send more support.
That means, Oodori’s plan on this deal is;
Try to bring in as many people as possible and gain total control of the location.
That’s why Shou-neechan sent over Kinoshita-san and Margo-san to deal with Oodori’s group before the ceremonies.
Please quiet down. We can’t move forward if you continue to make noise
Shou-neechan tries to warn Satake’s group, but they’re not stopping.
Oh hey! What a beautiful lady!
How about you stop working for Kouzuki and join us instead?
It’s better here!
You’ll surely be fit for a nightclub!
It’s better to have her in soapland instead!
Weren’t you going out with delivery ladies lately?
Ah.
They think Shou-neechan’s just an MC.
Yeah, that was regretful, if she was younger, I could’ve made her wear a sailor uniform though
No, I think mature ladies wearing sailor uniform is great! It tickles your arousal
These guys just keep on talking.
Hey boys! Shut up!
DJ Kinzou shouts to the noisy bunch.
That’s what chairman said
He followed up in a low voice.
Looking at it, Satake’s whispering to Kinzou’s ears.
I see. I see. Okay. Okay, listen. If you continue to make noise, it’ll cause inconvenience to everyone else in the venue. You all should quiet down! That’s what the chairman said
What the hell?
Satake whispers to Kinzou’s ears again.
Roger that. Err, Miss Beautiful! Please continue! That’s what the chairman said
For now, Satake’s group stops their jeering.
Well, thank you for your cooperation
Shou-neechan speaks awkwardly.
Well then, coming from the south side will be the witnesses for today’s ceremony
This time, they’re coming from the south. They’re the ones facing the front square bracket.
As expected, the large door opens up.
The people entering are all wearing black Japanese clothes. Five old men are wearing Hakama with their family crest in it.
Then, each of them has ten guards accompanying them.
Everyone, please take your seats
The witnesses coming from the south side takes their seat.
The five old men line up together.
There are chairs prepared for every one of them, but the guards remain standing.
Interesting, when it comes to numbers, it’s the witness that has the most
Margo-san said.
Well, they’re the representative of the related party in the whole industry, and so this number is just right
The witnesses are representatives of the Yakuza industry.
Then, Oodori stands up.
Everyone, we thank you for coming here today
Thank you
The thirty men all bow to the witnesses.
As for Satake, they’re not doing anything.
They’re looking not at the witnesses but Shou-neechan instead.
Hey! Where’s your honor!
That’s right! No matter how you look at it, they’re all close to Oodori!
Bastards! Do you think our boss is a joke?
Is this even a deal?
That’s right! That’s right! Let’s go home!
As if we’re going to stay silent!
They yell out and start to leave their seats.
But.
Gii, Batan!
The south, east, and west doors closed down.
what?
You’re trapping us now?
If you continue to look down on us, we’re going to kill you all!
They speak out threats, but their voice is trembling.
Hey! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
DJ Kinzou shuts down his group.
Hey Men! Don’t panic! That’s what the chairman says!
Then, Satake continues to whisper in Kinzou’s ears.
Sorry about that. Chairman didn’t say Hey Men at all. That was mine. Apologies and allow me to correct it
Hmm.
Satake continues to whisper in Kinzou’s ears.
Yes, yes, roger that
Kinzou looks at Shou-neechan.
Hey, lady, hurry up and finish this farce! Hurry up and put that old man Kouzuki in here! That’s what the chairman said.
But, Shou-neechan,
Indeed, but unfortunately, we still have to clean up something before he comes down
She smiles.
Could you come forward, Yamaoka-san?
The Yakuza in Satake’s faction look at Yamaoka and Etsuko.
It’s a problem for us to have someone we fired from Kouzuki SS join in the Yakuza while holding information about our members. Sorry, but we cannot allow you to show shameless people like you two to Kakka
Shou-neechan said.
We will be dealing with you two right now
Satake’s group gets noisy.
Meanwhile, the east and south side are quiet.
Oh! Hey CHICK! These guys are now ours! What is that greeting and why the hell are you trying to dispose of our employees? Huh? Chairman’s angry right now!
DJ Kinzou shouts, but.
All you did was hire them with money, right? It’s not like they poured a cup of alcohol for you
Shou-neechan speaks reasonably.
There’s no boss-underling relationship created unless one pours a cup of alcohol for formalities, am I wrong?
Satake glares at Shou-neechan,
Then, he whispers to Kinzou’s ears.
They’re strays that we picked up, and we’re taking care of them If you make a move on these two, you’ll declare to become enemies with Unryuu Kaizan Mori. Are you going to continue despite all that? That’s what the chairman said Shou-neechan laughs.
Oh my, you’re quite stupid, aren’t you? The two of us are already enemies. Isn’t that why we are here?
That’s right, Kouzuki SS is already opposing Satake’s group.
You seem to misunderstand that this ceremony is about settling the accounts. However, Our problem with Yamaoka-san is also another problem we have to deal with for this deal. Acquiring knowledge about us through Yamaoka-san is a clear hostile act against Kouzuki house The two glare at each other.
It’s normal for anyone to gather information about the other party. We’re equal in this regard. That’s what the chairman said!
Indeed, if you had undercover work, then we won’t complain. But, bringing in Yamaoka-san in here brazenly is another story
We have them employed. These guys are free in their career choice as well. I don’t think there’s a room for you to complain if you already sacked them out of your company
Oh, I see. Then, let’s be honest here
Shou-neechan?
The thought that someone we sent away already is now roaming around freely here disgusts me. That’s why we’re going to crush them down with everyone watching so there won’t be a next time
She smiled.
Now you don’t know which one is the Yakuza
An old man from the south area mutters.
Oh? Aren’t you the Yakuza? We’re different
Are you saying that you are a much higher existence than Yakuza?
Another old man speaks to Shou-neechan in displeasure.
No. That’s not what I meant
Shou-neechan looked at all the Yakuza in the southern area.
We’re much crueler than you
Then.
Take Yamaoka-san out of there
She gives orders to the guards of Kouzuki SS near the wall.
Don’t fuck with us!
Bastards! We won’t let you do whatever you want!
Satake’s Yakuza tries to interfere, but,
Wait, Everyone
Yamaoka stands up
Uhm, this is our problem, we cannot cause inconvenience to Chairman Satake and everyone because of us
dear
Etsuko looks up at Yamaoka.
Mother, you called that person Dear?
Kudou Haruka’s shocked about that?
Let’s go. We have no other choice
Yamaoka said.
You’re tryin to show off even at times like this
Well, we have no choice after they corner us this far
Isn’t that why I told you yesterday that we should escape?
We have no choice! If we try to get off the boat while we’re in the contract period, who do you think will still hire us?
Worry not, there won’t be any organization hiring Yamaoka-san after all of this
Shou-neechan says.
To be precise, you won’t be able to work anymore. You will continue to live your life as someone who threw mud at the name of Kouzuki
No, i
Yamaoka’s paralyzed.
Take them here to let everyone see them
Roger that
About ten guards from Kouzuki SS head towards Yamaoka.
They’re all strong looking guards.
Even though there’s 50 of them, Satake’s group doesn’t fight with the 10 guards.
Oh, I knew it.
Their screams are all just a bluff.
The guards took Yamaoka and Etsuko to the center without problems.
Punishing these two is only within Kouzuki SS’ jurisdiction. We’re sorry for everyone in here that will be watching, but we can’t move forward unless we have dealt with them
Shou-neechan speaks on the mic.
And thus, to entertain everyone in here, we have devised a small show for everyone to watch
Show.
punishment what?
Kudou Haruka whispers to me.
What’s going to happen to Mother?
She grabs my arm tightly.
Kudou Haruka’s trembling.
There’s nothing fun watching these two lynched by our muscular guards, is there?
Shou-neechan continues to talk.
Yes. That’s why we’re hosting an exhibition match right now!
Then.
Suddenly, the lights reach us.
Here we have Kudou Haruka-san, the Girl’s High school Karate champion
yes?
Haruka replied unconsciously as her name was called. It must be because of her sports-minded habit.
harukaa? michi’s here too?
Since our seats don’t really have any bright lights,
Etsuko never noticed her daughters in here.
why are you two here?
The mother’s surprised.
The eldest daughter’s also dumbfounded.
Michi’s on her usual expressionless look.
Yes. As you can see, these girls are her daughter
Shou-neechan said.
And so, Kudou Haruka-san, please throw all your anger at your mother and at this accursed man who stole your mother using your fist
Is this?
You gave your word to deal with whoever I told you to play with, right?
Margo-san speaks to Haruka.
But, that’s
Which do you prefer? Gang-raped by the Yakuza or fighting your mother here?
Kudou Haruka’s trembling.
Well then, please enjoy their fight!
Shou-neechan’s bright voice echoes inside the venue.
Chapter 735
Kudou Haruka and her mother are going to fight while the Yakuza watches.
The fight between a mother and daughter is going to become a show?
Yo-chan, don’t pity them
Nei speaks to me in a bright tone.
She’s smiling, but she’s holding my hand tightly.
That’s right.
Kudou Haruka looked down on prostitutes.
Haruka also made a bet that if she lost to Michi, she’d sell off her body for once.
Then, Haruka came to Kuormori’s mansion to do what she promised, but her goal is to gain referral for Kouzuki SS.
On the other hand, Haruka mother was having an affair with her superior, Yamaoka, and the two of them were kicked out by chief Yazawa.
She didn’t even return to her children, and the two of them went to the Yakuza.
Furthermore, they were giving out information about Kouzuki SS as a present.
Don’t help people who are suffering the consequences of their actions
Nei whispers to my ear.
What’s wrong? Kudou Haruka-san? Hurry up and get to the center!
Shou-neechan’s voice echoes in the hall, but,
Haruka’s just trembling by my side.
Don’t you want Kouzuki SS to employ you? Your mother and that man has betrayed Kouzuki SS. They’re people that must be punished for their crimes
Shou-neechan said.
Even if she’s your mother, you must deal with her once there’s an order. If you can’t do that, you can’t enter our company
This has taken an unexpected development.
i
Kudou Haruka’s just trembling.
She can’t even stand up.
My, what a useless girl. Well then, I’ll have to ask someone else to punish your mother. Is Reika available? Or maybe I’ll ask Ootoku-san instead
Shou-neechan’s smiling.
Fujimiya Reika? Ootoku?
Ootoku? You mean that Ootoku?
Woah! Do you really intend to have the daughter watch her mother beaten to death?
Satake’s subordinates make a noise.
Looks like these guys know Ootoku-san’s strength. He’s Jii-chan’s bodyguard after all.
One can’t be Jii-chan’s bodyguard unless the underground society fears him this much, but.
On the other hand, Oodori’s side and the witness side doesn’t speak of anything.
They just continue to watch the atmosphere.
Then.
Hey! Seki-san!
Etsuko who was pulled out to the middle of the hall together with Yamaoka glares at Shou-neechan.
Oh, what’s wrong Kudou-san? No, you already signed your divorce papers, so you’re no longer Kudou-san
Yesterday, Etsuko stamped the divorce papers Kudou-papa brought with him.
uhm, if I win against my daughter, could you guarantee that you’ll let the two of us go?
This woman past in her forties asked.
From her statement, the only emotion she has is fear.
Do you think I’ll take on that kind of deal?
Shou-neechan replies in a low tone.
This is nothing but an execution. You, a person who’s receiving a sentence is giving out a condition, are you insane?
I need a guarantee!
Etsuko hugs Yamaoka.
I don’t care about myself, but at least spare him!
etsuko
Yamaoka speaks in a feeble tone.
Even if you say that, oh, give ma second
Shou-neechan presses her ears and listens to her earphones.
Yes, Kakka certainly
Jii-chan gave instructions?
Since it’s Jii-chan, he’s watching what’s happening on a monitor.
Kakka gave his permission. If you win against your daughter, then the two of you will be let go
Jii-chan gave permission?
Also, whether you go to Yakuza or not, we won’t chase after you again. However, you two will have to sign a pledge never to leak any information about Kouzuki SS outside again
i’ll do that! I’ll do anything as long as we can leave here!
This mother will fight her daughter just to save herself and her lover.
Mother
Kudou Haruka’s dumbfounded seeing her mother like that.
But.
What the hell! What the hell! What the hell!
Haruka’s anger toward her mother spreads out rapidly.
Mother abandoned her family, escaped with that person, allied with the Yakuza, and now, she wants to fight me
The emotion that makes her tremble changed from fear to anger
come! Haruka!
Etsuko shouts at her mother.
Go. Either way, she won’t understand unless you give her two or three hits
Margo-san said. Kudou Haruka stands up.
I won’t forgive you, mother! I hate you!
Then, she walked to the center. To her mother.
Etsuko-san’s about 40 years old, isn’t she?
Margo-san mutters.
People at that age have mid-life crisis
Mid-life crisis.
In an Indian temple, the trainee monks there will become monks that will serve the temple for their lifetime, see? As expected, their training is hard, there’s a lot of people who have a lingering attachment to the worldly materials, and so most of them flee from the temple. Most of them are teens who just left home but the second most common are those in their 40s They’re escaping from the temple even when they’re in the mid-’40s?
It seems like they think they can restart their life at age 40. They feel that way when they reach that age. Therefore, even monks who have been training in the temple for more than twenty years is gone suddenly Margo-san says while looking at Haruka’s back.
It would be impossible for her to understand the feeling of her 40+-year-old mother. She must be having her last love emotion with Yamaoka-san? That’s just a delusion though
Yeah. While she’s intoxicated with the thought that she’s in love, the other side only feels fear. That’s not the face of a man in love at all
Margo-san said. Nei replies.
Hmm
Michi signs, then she sits down on the seat of her sister.
They’re all idiots, aren’t they?
I hug Michi’s body.
Okay, Haruka-san’s here. Well then, start the fight
Haruka and her mother face each other.
Ah, just to confirm this, we don’t want to do any regular karate match point system or anything of sorts. It’s a fight until one loses consciousness. Hear that?
Haruka? Don’t think badly of me
Etsuko takes a stance.
Seeii! I’m ready!
Haruka makes her greetings, just like how a high school girl doing Karate would do.
Tsuaa! Haa! Haa!
Etsuko comes rushing to her daughter right away.
nn! Hah! Haa!
Haruka gently brushes her mother’s thrust and kicks aside.
Ooh! That’s amazing!
Ooh! That’s some great movements!
As one would expect from a high school champion!
Satake’s group’s Yakuza cheers.
Hey! Give us a high kick! High kick!
That’s right! Show us your panties!
It’s a high school girl! What’s the color of her panties today?
Hearing the jeers of the boys,
Then, Haruka’s movement slows down for a bit.
Haa!
Not letting that moment go, Etsuko tries to kick Haruka, but,
What the hell?
Haruka avoids it and sends a kick to Etsuko’s waist.
Guu!
Etsuko squats down, holding her waist.
Mother, you haven’t trained at all for the last four months!
Haruka shouts.
What’s with that hips! Weren’t you the one who taught me how to Karate? If this was back then, you could take that kick without a problem!
Etsuko glares at her daughter.
I was trying all my best just to survive! I can’t afford to practice!
That’s a lie! You’re just flirting with that man! Filthy!
Haruka! How dare you criticize your parent!
You’re just claiming the parent card when it’s convenient!
This time, Haruka comes after her mother.
She sends a kick to her squatting mother.
But, Etsuko dodged at the last moment.
The attack and defense of the two continues for a while.
Hey, what did you do?
Karate’s about knockout hits, right? Don’t get cold feet now!
I mean, hurry up and show us your panties!
The shouts from the Yakuza gets worse as the battle of the parent and child isn’t decided quickly.
This doesn’t look good. Haruka-san’s going easy
Margo-san?
Well, it’s natural to have some reluctance when beating up one’s mother
Now that she said that.
They’re right, Haruka’s attacks seem to be shallow.
She’s only making attacks and punches in places where Etsuko won’t be fatally wounded.
As for Mother, she’s desperate
As expected, Etsuko lacks practice.
Her body’s moving slowly.
She’s already breathing roughly.
Haa, haa, haa
On the other hand, Haruka’s also sweating.
But, as she’s still an active karate athlete, her speed hasn’t declined at all.
Teiyaa!
Haruka rushes in once again.
Then.
Awawawawa.
Etsuko twisted her legs.
She tumbled down on the floor.
hey! Mother!
Haruka tries to carry up her mother’s body in a hurry,
But,
Sorry, Haruka
Etsuko’s fall was a fake.
She then punches Haruka’s abdomen.
Ugyaa!
Haruka groans in pain.
If Etsuko continues to attack at her weak spot, Haruka will lose.
However, Etsuko’s reached her limit as well.
Dammit!
Etsuko pins down her daughter groaning in pain.
Dear! Hurry!
Etsuko calls Yamaoka.
Hurry up and knock her out!
So he’s letting Yamaoka finish Haruka off?
you? That’s
It’s okay! We have to win! There’s no future for us unless we do this!
Etsuko’s face looks like a demon.
I’ll apologize to her later!
So that’s your problem.
Hey! That’s dirty!
Are you really her mother?
The Yakuza boos her.
I don’t care! I’ll win no matter what method I use! If we win then, Kakka will let us go! We have to win!
Etsuko screams to drown the booing.
Michi-chan. Execution
It’s Shou-neechan’s voice.
Michi, go
Edie smiles at Michi.
Michi.
Yes. I’ll finish this up
She stands up
I’ll be occupying the seat next to Darling
If you’d please, Master, I’m heading out
Michi bows her head to me then heads to the center.
Isn’t this?
Michi wasn’t with us during our power scouting earlier.
Then that means, this development is already anticipated.
Did Shou-neechan receive instructions with this in mind?
Hey, what’s that?
Look, there’s a smaller girl now!
The Yakuza notices the appearance of the petite Michi emerging from the dark space.
My name is Kudou Michi! 15 year old! Currently a third-year middle schooler!
Michi shouts across the venue.
Etsuko who’s holding down Haruka turns to Michi.
michi! what are you doing??
Michi,
The condition is to win against your daughter, right?
That’s right.
I’m also one of your daughters
Michi speeds up.
Idiot! Stop it! Michi!
Haruka tries to shout at Michi, but,
Michi’s jump kick is already reaching her mother’s head.
Pigii!
Etsuko fainted while still pinning Haruka.
Jowaa.
Then, Etsuko peed herself.
That’s not Kudou arts. That’s my technique
Edie’s technique?
It looks fancy, but all it does is send in Qi and make her faint. And so, there’s no damage in the body
Michi.
But in exchange, if you get knocked out, you’d pee yourself
Edie smiles wryly.
yoouu! Michii! What have you done!
Finally, her sister, Haruka, stands up while holding down her abdomen.
What have you done to your own mother!
She throws her strong hatred to her sister.
I should ask the same to you!
Michi throws back the same emotion to her sister.
Just how long are you making mom a spectacle for everyone?
Hearing her sister say that, Haruka suddenly realized.
I’m making mother a spectacle?
Michi glares at her sister.
That’s right. The difference between your strength and your mother was remarkable. You could’ve brought her down quickly but doing so would be so kind to her
Shou-neechan said.
Aneue, Hahaue, you two weren’t ready to take lives in your martial art
Michi speaks in annoyance.
i
Will Haruka understand?
Will Michi be able to convey what she wants to tell?
Oh what, in the end, the middle school girl won in an instant
That old lady wounds so arrogant yet she’s weak
It’s boring to watch an old lady piss herself
Yeah, that’s filthy
Seriously, that’s shameful of her losing to her daughters
I mean! Show up your panties already!
Satake’s Yakuza continues their jeer, but
Shuba.
Michi runs like the wind.
what?
Michi jumps out.
She flips up her skirt, then
ooh! Look! Middle school girl panties!
Some Yakuza lowers their body to peek at Michi’s skirt,
Red Butte!
Michi takes out a red whip from her skirt.
Guee!
Gabaa!
Gebobo!
The edge of her whip slaps the foreheads of Yakuza one after another!
You dare mock Hahaue! You! You! and You too!
Byuun!
Byuun!
Byuun!
Her red whip entombs all of the men who jeered earlier.
Hey! Stop that!
Satake’s aide, DJ Kinzou shouts at Michi, but she doesn’t stop.
Her whip takes down each of them in one attack.
The Yakuza in Satake’s group isn’t sitting correctly, and so they couldn’t escape the sudden attack.
And you’re the last one!
Her red whip lashes out.
There are nearly twenty people knocked out all in all.
These are all the guys who were booing earlier.
That’s all!
Michi said, then pretend not to see Satake as she goes back.
Heey! Wait here you!
DJ Kinzou tries to stop Michi,
What?
Michi looks back at him like he’s some kind of filth.
Bitch, do you think that the Yakuza would just let you go after doing all that because you’re just a brat?
Michi replies to Kinzou coldly.
Is that your opinion? Or your chairman’s?
Ugh
Kinzou looks at Satake,
Then Satake nods.
It’s Chairman’s opinion! Chairman said it!
Michi then slams down her red whip.
Then, should I take you all down?
Feeling the aura emitted from her small body, the Yakuza fell silent.
Oh? Is Satake-san’s group waging war on a middle school girl as well?
Shou-neechan laughs.
That’s lame
Hearing that, Satake and his group felt down.
Let me tell you beforehand, Michi-chan is the bodyguard of Kouzuki Misuzu, one of the successors of Kouzuki house. Therefore, if you make Michi-chan your enemy, Kouzuki house will retaliate. Please consider that making a move on Michi-chan is equivalent to facing Kouzuki house head-on Michi continues to glare at Satake’s group while squeezing her whip.
Do you want to continue?
Satake.
He whispered to Kinzou’s ears.
No, not anymore, go back to where you came from. That’s what Chairman said
Then if you’d excuse me
Michi bows her head and goes to the center of the hall.
In there is her sister who’s looking after their mother.
Yamaoka, the man her mother slept with remains standing.
Ah, you don’t have to deal with that man, Michi-chan
Shou-neechan tells her.
I’ll deal with Yamaoka-san myself
Then, she lets go of the microphone.
And she walks to the center.
Yamaoka-san, you should know that I’m now the head of Kouzuki SS on-field
Shou-neechan says
Eeh, aah, yeah
Yamaoka’s brain seems to have stopped working.
Speaking of which,
He stopped thinking and couldn’t do anything during Cesario Viola’s unexpected entrance.
Do you get it? I’m now the current head of security, your position until you were fired. That is why I have to deal with you personally
No, Seki-san, I
You seem to have gotten sloppy since I last saw you. Just as Haruka-san said, you haven’t been training for the last four months
No, that’s, can you listen to me first
Yamaoka tries to talk his way out, but
No, if possible, not you but Kakka, no, that would be impossible. at least let me talk to chief Yazawa!
Didn’t I tell you just now? I’m already the head
Shou-neechan smiles.
And so, dealing with you falls into my responsibility. Geez, this is so annoying!
Zubaa!
Fast.
Shou-neechan’s kick bursts into Yamaoka’s crotch!
Ugee!
Yamaoka crumbles down in pain.
A man like you should stop being a Man
Doukakaka!
Basu!
She sends in kicks to Yamaoka’s crotch.
Shou-neechan was also Jii-chan’s full-time bodyguard, just like Ootoku-san.
Her speed is something she takes pride in.
Stop! You’re crushing it! You’re breaking it!
Yes, that’s what I’m doing!
Shou-neechan’s not going easy on him.
She keeps on kicking Yamaoka’s crotch as he writhes in pain.
seriously? That woman
Up until earlier, they think that she’s just a host for this ceremony, but,
The Yakuza’s dumbfounded at her terrifying execution.
Finish time! 1
Gyoee!
Yamaoka faints in agony.
With the history of your crotched kicked until it turned to paste by a woman, you can’t live in the underground society anymore
Then, she looked at Etsuko who fainted.
That’s the end of your middle-aged love. And they lived happily ever after
Shou-neechan smiles with a cruel look in her face.
Chapter 736
These two are now just a nuisance, can anyone take them away?
Shou-neechan said. Then four men from Kouzuki SS appears.
Then, two of each lifts Yamaoka and Etsuko’s upper body and legs and carries them to the door on the west side.
They’re purposely showing it off to Satake’s group.
shieet
Jesus, his balls must be turned to meat paste now.
Yeah, I don’t think there’s a trace of his manhood left
Yeah, that woman did it dirty
But, her movements aren’t something to scoff at
They all tremble at Shou-neechan’s strength and cruelty.
mother!
Kudou Haruka chases after Etsuko.
Michi, you should come too!
She turned to her sister and shouts, but,
I will stay here
What the hell? Your mother’s in trouble, and it’s your fault!
Haruka throws her anger to Michi.
I have my duty to fulfill
Are you saying that’s more important than your own mother!
Aneue, I already am a bodyguard
Michi.
That’s enough! I won’t think of you as my sister anymore! I’ll never let you in the house again!
Then.
A guy from Kouzuki SS comes running from the side of the wall.
He’s wearing the same black clothing as the other guards, but his body is thin. He looks young.
Haruka
Huh?
Pashi!
That man suddenly slapped Kudou Haruka on the cheek.
That’s enough. Don’t shame our family even further
nii-san?
Haruka’s shocked as she holds her cheeks.
She called him brother, then he should be Kudou Shinichi.
He looks like a young Kudou-papa, he’s got a sportsman figure and is also tall.
However, his hair is cut short, and he has a serious look on his face.
Seki-san. I’m very sorry for the fuss
Shinichi bows his head to Shou-neechan.
I don’t mind, Kudou-san. I give you permission to go out for a while. Sugimori-kun, could you back up his station?
Roger that
A voice comes from the wall.
The lights are off so I can’t see it well, but,
There are Kouzuki SS guards near the wall protecting the key locations.
My sister and I will carry Mother
Shinichi tells the two guards carrying Etsuko.
You two can come back to your posts. Haruka, grab Mother’s feet
Wait, Nii-san, what about Michi?
Haruka’s still clinging to that.
Michi-san has her duty
Michi-san? What?
Haruka’s surprised.
She’s already living in a different world than us
what are you talking about?
She’s a dozen times stronger than you or me. Kakka personally appointed her as Misuzu’s bodyguard because of her strength and her techniques
But, but!
Sorry, but do think of Michi-chan as someone from the top elite from now on. This is regulation within Kouzuki SS
Shou-neechan tells Haruka.
Since she’s Misuzu’s personal bodyguard, she’s regarded as superior compared to regular members of Kouzuki SS.
If they don’t do that, it would be hard to take out the ordinary members and guards if they hinder Michi’s actions on site.
And we’re in that situation now.
Even if it’s her real brother, he has to treat Michi with respect just like how he does with the top elites.
But, she’s our little sister!
Haruka sends MIchi a disappointed look.
If you’re dissatisfied, then become stronger yourself. Aneue
Michi speaks to her sister, expressionlessly.
If you want to act like an elder sister that is
Haruka,
Geez! I get it! I’ll get stronger! I’ll get stronger than you even if it means death!
That’s enough Haruka, we have to carry Mother
The Kudou siblings carry the body of their mother who fainted and peed herself.
Before long, the western door;
The door opens a bit, and the two were carried out.
Batan.
Then, the door closed one again.
Master
Michi clings to me.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
She counts numbers in a low voice.
Ten. I’m okay now, I’ll return to my duties
Geez.
This time, I hug Michi tight.
Master?
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
I also start counting numbers slowly.
Ten
Then, I embraced Michi’s small body filled with love after the last number.
Thank you. I’m okay now
Michi smiles at me
Yeah, as expected, her smile is much cuter than her expressionless face.
Now then, I think that’s enough playtime, isn’t it?
Then.
Oodori speaks up from the east side.
Though, he and all his followers were silent all the time.
Oh? Did you not enjoy our exhibition match?
Shou-neechan returns to the microphone stand and asks Oodori.
It wasn’t fun. After all, it had nothing to do with me
Yup, Yamaoka and Etsuko were former Kouzuki SS employees, and Satake’s their current employer.
It’s not my hobby to watch a middle school girl or a beauty like you as you rampage like that. I don’t understand why women enter pro wrestling either
Oodori compares Michi and Shou-neechan’s strength to pro-wrestling.
That’s a shame
Shou-neechan continues to smile.
Either way, that’s enough for amusement. I hope we get down to business already. Neither the witnesses nor I have the time for this farce. We just want to end this and go back to Kansai already
Oodori doesn’t back off from his pace either.
He stands firmly and shows his composure.
Michi-chan reduced the number of Satake’s Yakuza, and so he felt that he’s at an advantage now, and so he talks that way
Margo-san whispers to us.
I see. Oodori’s group was at 30 and Satake’s group was at 50.
But Michi took down some of Satake’s members with her whip.
Now, they’re in equal numbers, 30 vs. 30.
Then, the heavyweights of Yakuza are close to Oodori.
He judged that he could take the lead in this place now.
He’s foolish. Does he not understand why Kouzuki SS is putting Shou-oneesan, a young woman in the front?
Margo-san smiles wryly.
Right.
Oodori is in his 60s. Satake is in his 40s. The heavyweights in the Yakuza industry are all old men.
Kouzuki is only showing off Shou-neechan, a woman in her 20s to all these adult men.
Usually, it should be chief Yazawa who should be in charge of this location if we’re looking at their age.
After all, you’re not the one we’re to converse with. Isn’t it about time for your boss to appear? If I recall, was it Kakka? He won’t look over unless you call him that way, will he? Kukuku!
Oodori laughs.
Indeed. It seems that it will be unsatisfactory to have me entertain you for any longer
Shou-neechan shows a fearless smile.
Well then, thank you for waiting everyone. The head of Kouzuki house, Kouzuki Shigetaka-Kakka will enter
Shou-neechan announces.
Gogogogogogogogo.
A loud vibration sounds in the room.
Then.
The large curtain covering the north side of the hall,
It slowly unveils from bottom-up.
Huh?
I was sure that Jii-chan would be somewhere on the other side of the curtain, but,
I thought that it might be bulletproof, but,
On the other side of the curtain is Jii-chan, with Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san protecting him.
Minaho-neesan, Tsukiko, Yomiko, and Luna are also in there, or so I thought.
But as the curtain moves to the top.
It’s a wall.
It’s nothing but a white wall.
There’s no space for a person to enter.
What’s going on?
Yo-chan, look up
Nei tells me.
Up? aah!
Zuzuzuzuzu.
The curtain goes even further.
The curtain goes above like those I see in gym and banquet halls, but,
It’s covered in glass?
No, there’s a room in there.
It’s as if they’re peeking from above the banquet hall.
That’s a VIP deluxe suite
Margo-san said.
By the way, that glass should be bulletproof, and even if you poison gas this hall, it won’t reach there. That’s a perfect defense
Then, coming from the window of the glass covered VIP room;
Jii-chan wearing a suit, and the Takakura sisters wearing shrine maiden clothing appears.
Oh, I see Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san’s large body behind Jii-chan.
Chief Yazawa’s subordinates’ carry chairs and tables.
Jii-chan then sits down on the chair.
He’s looking down here.
He has chilled Champagne on the side table.
Then, Jii-chan also asks the Takakura sisters to take a seat.
Chief Yazawa’s subordinates bring in chairs for the three.
The sisters sit side by side.
Oh, I see Rei-chan in her male clothing standing with her cane.
Hmm, Champagne bottle, really? If it were me, I’d bring in a cat on Kouzuki-ojiichan’s lap instead. A black cat. Then, a glass of red wine on the side as he plays with a big gold coin with his thumb 1
Nei said.
Anyway, everyone in this hall had no choice but to look up at Jii-chan in the high-class VIP room.
Chief Yazawa brings in a microphone to Jii-chan respectfully.
Jii-chan takes the mic, and then,
I thank you all for coming all the way from Kansai to here
He speaks to the Yakuza below.
I am Kouzuki
Everyone’s intimidated by Jii-chan’s tone flowing through the speaker, but,
What is going on here?
Oodori looks up at Jii-chan and shouts.
II came all the way to Tokyo for you to hear out the deal, right?
Yes, that’s right. This is a deal. Did you not hear it from Seki-kun earlier?
Jii-chan speaks, but he sounds sleepy.
I don’t know about Tokyo but in our world, making deals means that you’ll stand on the same level and be on the same line of sight, or is it different here?
Is that so? Yazawa?
Jii-chan plays dumb and asks chief Yazawa.
Well, it matters not. I’m not interested in your customs at all
He speaks to make it clear.
If you don’t come down from there then we will head home
Oodori stands up, and his 30 subordinates also stand in unison.
If you think that you can look down on us, then this deal is over!
Jii-chan laughs.
What’s funny?
Oodori laughs.
Then.
Stop it! Oodori!
One of the old-time Yakuza leaders calls out from the southern side.
He’s wearing a Hakama, and his hair is pure white.
His age should be higher than Oodori.
Don’t stop me now. Sakagami Oyabun. Even the weakest have their own wills and don’t make light of them. This Oodori Seishirou has his honor!
Oodori glares at Jii-chan,
I don’t know nor care about Kouzuki house, but don’t think that it will end nicely for you if you make the Yakuza mad!
President is right!
Don’t look down on Yakuza!
don’t make fun of us!
The Yakuza on the east side unites and tries to overpower Jii-chan.
Sorry about that. As you can see, I’m ignorant of the ways of the world
Jii-chan instructs one of the guards on the side, and the guard opened the Champagne.
what is that guy doing?
He’s still looking down on us!
Champagne’s poured to his glass and Jii-chan drinks it deliciously.
Then.
By the way, pray to tell me but what business does Yakuza have?
what did you say?
You’re making us look like fools!
Jii-chan sniffs the scent of the Champagne.
No, I don’t know it for real. Just what do the Yakuza sell? Can anyone tell me?
Oodori replies.
If you do not know then allow me to teach you! Yakuza’s business is to sell honor!
I see. You sell Honor
That’s right, our business is about the manly honor! A debauchee like you would never understand!
That’s right! We’re honorable men!
Don’t look down on us
Jii-chan.
That’s what he says, but what do you think, Sakagami-kun?
Jii-chan asks the white haired man who stopped Oodori earlier.
Yes, sir! Allow me to explain Kouzuki Kakka
Sakagami bows his head respectfully.
Yakuza is an industry of people working for customers!
Working for customers?
The main work of Yakuza is to use their connections and smoothly process requests for the customers!
Is that so? Sakagami-kun’s explanation is easier to understand than his
Thank you
The white haired boss lowers his head deeply.
There are also other jobs in our industry, but we do anything regardless of its legality as long as we’re paid. However, we’re fundamentally good citizens to the public, and so we try not to cause trouble with them. Although in reality, that doesn’t happen too much I see. It seems like it, I thought that the Yakuzas are a group of outlaws who only does illegal work and make the commoners suffer
Yes, it does have that aspect. However, we have the country allowing us to continue as the necessary evil due to our unique style of solving insoluble problems
Oh, is that necessary evil really necessary?
Jii-chan speaks sadistically.
Err, that,s you see. In the early post-war years, when the police weren’t able to help nor protect the citizens, we were the ones fighting off the foreigners and American soldiers
But that’s from the era where the Yakuza’s starting, isn’t it? From what I heard, there’s no more need for Yakuza in the modern age. Then that’s it
that’s
Boss Sakagami mumbles.
Now that we’re in the 21st century, Yakuza’s no longer a necessary evil but just an evil. Should Japan really keep you?
No, that’s. Please wait, Kakka
The white haired old man panics.
You said that Yakuza is a service that responds to requests of customers. And to make that request, you’d use as much illegal acts, violence, and intimidation to your arsenal. Am I wrong?
No, often times we do that
Then that means, it’s a problem that you can’t solve things without doing anything illegal?
That’s a case by case idea
But when you intervene, the problem becomes more complex?
Sometimes, yes
Then don’t you think that you’re disqualified as a service provider? Hearing your story shows that there are more cases of Yakuza making the problem more complicated than solving it
No, that’s not it, Kakka
Customer satisfaction is the most important in business. Trust is born from there. However, with the way you do business, you give the impression that you prioritize your own interests than the customers
Jii-chan said.
I understand now. Sakagami-kun. Currently, you’re at the critical moment
Critical moment?
Yes. I want you to explain why the Yakuza is needed in the current age. What is the benefit for modern Japan for having Yakuza
The necessity of Yakuza?
And I’d like you to convince me. If you can’t, then I will regard Yakuza as nothing but evil, and I will do my all to destroy it. Mankind can’t live with cancer cells after all
Jii-chan’s dignified voice echoes in the wall.
do you really think you can eradicate the Yakuza?
Oodori asks Jii-chan with a surprised expression.
Don’t be ridiculous, Oodori! That’s Kouzuki Kakka
Sakagami shouts.
Indeed. Do you not know who I am? I feel troubled to see myself looked down on
Jii-chan laughed and drank another cup of Champagne.
Well, for someone in Yakuza, you might not know me that well. It can’t be helped
Then, the guard tries to pour the empty glass with Champagne.
However.
That’s enough. Things are going to get complicated, I’ll have that for later
And He speaks to boss Sakagami again.
Sakagami-kun. Let’s hear the answer to that question by the end of today’s meeting. Until then, you can have the time to think about it
yes, Kakka
Boss Sakagami replies in a loud voice.
Now then, as for Oodori-kun and Satake-kun. I thank you for waiting. Well then, let’s begin our deal
The hall quiets down.
Although, I don’t know what to do in this deal, fufufu
Jii-chan laughs.
Oodori,
O-Okay, for now, you’re not in Yakuza. There’s no need to be caught up with the Yakuza’s customs. We’ll pass that off
Though he’s trembling, he’s trying to change the pace to his own.
Therefore, I won’t care if you look down at us from a high place, do whatever you want
My thanks
Jii-chan replies with a smile.
Also, everything in here happened because of that bastard, Satake making a move on Takakura shrine, which is my territory
It seems so
He killed off the priest and the shrine maiden and hijacked the shrine. That’s the cause of this all
Oodori points at Satake.
Don’t talk as if it’s all my fault!
DJ Kinzou replies instead of Satake.
That’s what the chairman said!
But it’s the truth. Takakura shrine is a place where all the other Kansai Yakuza and we have protected for so many years. It’s a sacred location. Then, you defiled it, thoughtlessly!
Oodori glares at Satake.
Then, as for the priest and shrine maidens’ daughter, they’ve made a mistake. They didn’t come for my help but instead Kouzuki-san’s protection. This is one big mistake
Mistake?
This matter only involves the Kansai Yakuza. They shouldn’t have borrowed a foreign power. And well, thanks to the misunderstandings, you and your troops, Kouzuki SS, have clashed with our group, but this is all a misunderstanding, the information flow didn’t travel well Oodori felt that Jii-chan has a strong will, and so he changed his strategy.
And because of that, most of my men are injured. They’re all in the hospital right now. I pity them. I came here intending to ask for medical treatment and comfort for my men from you. But, I give up
He smiles at Jii-chan.
It seems that our side made some mistake as well. We sent a lot of men to Tokyo without any greetings. I see. This is also our mistake. Therefore, allow me to bow my head in apology, Kouzuki-san. I’m sorry. It was our fault. Do you think we can forget about this and wipe the slate clean?
Jii-chan.
Hmm, Indeed. Seeing your admirable attitude, I’ll forget about your impoliteness from earlier
Thank you, but Kouzuki-san
Oodori bares his fangs with his smile.
I’d like you to return the Takakura house’s daughters to us! Those girls belong to the Takkura shrine, the Kansai Yakuza
I can see Tsukiko’s face of fear through the glass.
These girls have to inherit the title of the shrine maiden
This bastard.
That’s right, You’ve been talking about following the law earlier. Let me tell you beforehand, Takakura Tsukiko is my daughter!
Oodori shows a filthy smile.
Their parents have died recently. Taking that opportunity, I’d like to formally announce that I’ll register her as my daughter in the census. She’s my daughter by law! Could you let her go so she could come back to her father?
Chapter 737
I see, so you say that you are the father of Takakura Tsukiko-kun over here?
Jii-chan looks down on Oodori across the bulletproof glass in the VIP room.
That’s right! But if you don’t trust me, then I don’t mind going for a DNA test!
I can see Tsukiko’s face of fear as Oodori smiles at her.
Yomiko and Luna are trying to support their sister.
What can we discover if we have a DNA test then?
Jii-chan asks.
That would prove scientifically that the lady over there and I are parent and child!
Oodori speaks, looking amazed.
I thought that Kouzuki-san already knows about it? If I bring this up to the court, the DNA test will become perfect evidence. And as the law states, Tsukiko and her sisters are still minors, and this would become a kidnapping case. The priest and the shrine maiden of Takakura shrine recently died and so Tsukiko, and her sisters should’ve gone to me, her parent He looked up at Jii-chan and said.
If I recall, it was Oodori-kun. If I were to hand over the sisters to you, what will you do to them?
That’s not something you need to know. They belong to the Yakuza’s world
Oodori retorts confidently.
Hey, Oodori, you’re being rude to Kakka
Sakagami, the old man in the southern side scolds Oodori.
I’m not the wrong one here, wasn’t he the one who poked his nose into the problem in our world? Are you not feeling frustrated that someone who doesn’t belong in our society tries to intervene? Sakagami Oyabun?
Oodori snaps back at the witnesses.
It seems that he’s confident he’s taken the pace of the conversation by declaring that Tsukiko is his daughter.
He’s not someone you can pass through with that hoodlum level reasoning
Sakagami glares at Oodori.
Hey, Oodori, Do you intend on making all of us your enemies?
A skinny old man next to Sakagami speaks up.
That’s not what I intend to happen. To a Yakuza like me, I couldn’t endure someone looking down on men of honor! I don’t care if it’s Kouzuki-san or whoever! This is a problem within Yakuza, a problem within our world, is it not?
Oodori points at Jii-chan in the VIP room.
You’re showing off from a high place and even covered in glass. Do you find it filthy to breathe in the same air as us? Having so many guards around, thinking that you are above us because of money, do you think you can make us yield? We are the Yakuza!
Oodori’s speech continues.
He’s trying to speak logically, but in the end, he lost to Kouzuki-san’s pressure
Margo-san tells me.
Remember this, someone bursting in emotions cannot understand the logic behind words. If it’s someone trying to smooth-talk you, then assemble the logic right away and make the justification. Besides, if you show that you are impressed, you’ll get dragged into whatever they want to happen. Don’t try to understand the contents of what they say but look at their emotions. Why is this person so emotional? Concentrate on that question I see. If I only look at the content of his speech, Oodori has a point.
However, looking at him sweating from his forehead, I see him only as someone desperately talking.
I can see that he’s trapped in Jii-chan’s heavy pressure.
Thinking that this can’t go on, he shouts in his speech.
I see that Oodori’s speech is hollow.
Hey! Oodori!
Sakagami interrupts Oodori’s speech.
How long are you going to talk to Kakka about honor?
Oodori’s startled.
No, but he’s not Yakuza, is he? Either way, honor is used by all the people wherever they come from
But without honor, Yakuza will not exist
Sakagami said.
Kakka, is a much more fearful man than us, the Yakuza
what?
Oodori looks surprised. Jii-chan speaks.
I still haven’t received a reply from my question earlier. Oodori-kun, if you have the Takakura sisters, what will you do with them?
Oodori.
i, I’m from Yakuza! No matter how down my luck can be, this Oodori is a Yakuza! i will keep the tradition and customs of Yakuza! i’m Yakuza after all
So, what do you plan on doing because you’re from Yakuza?
Jii-chan’s pressure puts a mental block on Oodori.
He speaks out the plan he has inside his head.
that’s to resolve the dispute between Satake and me, we will conduct the arbitration ritual of the Takakura shrine, an old tradition
So what is this arbitration ritual?
That’s. About that. The Takakura shrine maiden will have sex with the bosses who caused the dispute, and then, they’ll become men who slept with the same woman, and things will end peacefully
Oodori’s purposely hiding the Miko power.
The part where having sex with the shrine maiden will make them read one’s mind.
However, Takakura shrine doesn’t have a shrine maiden currently. Their mother was killed, I heard
Jii-chan said. Tsukiko trembles.
That is why we need the girls you have there to become the shrine maidens!
These girls will become the shrine maidens?
that’s right! It’s natural! The fate of the daughters of Takakura shrine is to inherit the shrine maiden title!
Oodori’s voice is getting louder.
It’s also equal to the amount of sweat he’s producing.
Perhaps, his heart is beating hard right now.
Isn’t that your intention? You’ve made Tsukiko, and the two wear the shrine maiden clothing! Am I wrong?
Oodori points at Tsukiko and the girls.
Oh, that’s right! I had a good idea. How about you join us in the arbitration ritual? What do you think, Kouzuki-san? I think it’s a good proposal
He’s trying to invite Jii-chan to the arbitration ritual.
Luckily, there’s three of the Takakura sisters. If you want, we can swap with the three while at it. Kouzuki-san, you can pick which one you take first, either way, we’ll enjoy the three of them
So you plan on gang-raping your own daughter
Jii-chan speaks in a low tone.
Tsukiko is a successor of the Takakura shrine maiden title before being my daughter! She knows her fate since childhood, and I think she’s ready for it. Isn’t that right, Tsukiko? Yomiko and Luna will come and help and take off Oodori-otchan’s clothes. You girls were cute back when you were little, and now!
Oodori’s blood is congesting on his face.
He’s already on the brink of insanity.
I’ve been longing for the day I take your virginities!
Then.
I see. That’s a problem
Jii-chan speaks gently.
You’ve just increased the reason to take you out by another one
Jii-chan said. The Yakuza in the hall shook.
I wonder why humans only have one life. If only you had three lives, then I could kill trash like you three times. That is, indeed, the cruelty of nature. However, unfortunately, I only have to kill you once
what do you mean by kill?
Oodori’s face looks like he’s cooled down with water.
what the hell are you talking about?
Jii-chan ignores Oodori for now.
Now then, Sakagami-kun, Arai-kun, Uegi-kun, Morishige-kun, and Hagimoto-kun
The witnesses from the southern side stand up right away.
This is my minimum requirement to reach peace with you
Sakagami Oyabun bows his head to Jii-chan respectfully.
Yes, both Oodori and Satake’s lives and organization will be dismantled. We will fulfill that certainly
So it’s settled that Oodori and Satake are going to die?
Umu, it’s troublesome if you go that far. How do you call it on your side? Ah, yes, this is for the deal
Jii-chan’s making a deal with the old men, not with Oodori and Satake?
Just the two of them won’t be enough, you must dispose of all of their subordinates as well
Jii-chan?
what are you talking about, are you an idiot?
Oodori screams.
If you hadn’t talked about the arbitration ritual of the Takakura shrine, then you could’ve lived
Jii-chan said.
I desire for those who know the secret of the Takakura shrine maiden to be erased
Certainly, Kakka
Sakagami bows as the representative of them.
what? Takakura shrine belongs to us, the Yakuza! Outsiders shouldn’t interfere with us!
I do know that the Takakura shrine maidens have a strange power in them
Jii-chan said.
could it be? bastard! Do you plan on monopolizing the Miko power!
Oodori screams from the bottom of his lungs.
That’s not my intention. My plan is.
do you think I’ll believe you?
I don’t need for such power. And it’ll only bring trouble if that kind of power exists in this world I live in!
Jii-chan.
That is why I will cut off the tradition of the Takakura shrine maidens from now onwards. The shrine maidens with that power no longer exist, and I will erase all of the records of it ever existing
don’t fuck with us! Miko power is ours!
That’s enough! Oodori!
Sakagami stops Oodori with a murky tone in his voice.
Even we didn’t know how to use that power that it’s beyond our control. In the end, we only used it for the arbitration ritual as a form of a punishment
No, but the Miko power is ours, and we should have control over it
You’re going to die anyway and so don’t think of the future. Just be quiet and die for us
Kuh, Sakagami-oyabun! No, I’d like to ask all the other bosses in here! Why are you selling off the tradition of Yakuza to that bastard! Where did your pride as Yakuza go? He’s looking down on all of you!
In the end, Oodori starts snapping back at the heavyweights of the Yakuza.
Yakuza’s pride? Tradition? That isn’t something as big as you think
Sakagami said and turns to Satake on the west side.
Hey, young man. Was it Satake?
Satake’s flustered.
Were you from Shennong-sama? Or from Amaterasu Oomikami?
Satake thinks for a while and then whispers to Kinzou’s ears.
he doesn’t understand what you meant. Chairman said!
Kinzou’s voice is trembling.
The Meiji era Yakuza has two lineages, the gamblers and the stall-keepers parting from each other. After the Great Kanto earthquake and the loss in war, during this period of mayhem, it was the gambling stall-keepers dominating the black market. Since the Edo period, the gambling dens that have opened up and earned income revere the Sun Goddess. And the former stall-keepers formed an autonomous organization and revered the God of Trades, Shennong. Therefore, if you see which God the Yakuza reveres, you can tell their origins. Are they the lineage of former gamblers, or the stall-keepers Sakagami said.
As mentioned by Kakka earlier, us, the Yakuza played a significant role in the mayhem during the postwar period. During the time when the Japanese government isn’t complete yet, we were the group that fought off the undesired aliens and Americans. Thus, our power expanded. But what’s after that? We return on making income through gambling. The stall-keepers started various trades. Our groups unified and enlarged the organization. Then, the gamblers wanted a sure method of income, and so they started making a move on the stall keepers business, the stall-keepers got their eyes blinded with money, and so they started making a move on the administration in the territory of the gamblers. The two mutually invade each other’s land, and that is the origin of Yakuza’s disputes. Not belonging to a bloodline makes the Yakuza treat which boss they have as the most important Sakagami sighs.
However, the young ones no longer know about it. There’s no interest either. You’re too focused on money-making that you don’t care about the past and the traditions at all
isn’t that why we have to protect the arbitration ritual of the Takakura shrine?
Oodori screams with his eyes opened wide.
If you protect just that, what else can you do?
Sakagami rebukes.
Did you not hear Kakka earlier? Yakuza currently is in a position where it’s questioned whether we should still exist or not. It’s possible that at this age, Yakuza’s no longer necessary
Then.
That’s not the problem bastards!
Wait, was that Satake himself?
Satake stands up and shouts using his voice.
No matter what age we’re in, there would be dropouts from the society! There will always be guys who can’t live unless they do evil as they love it! Do you get it? Huh? Only Yakuza accepts those people!
But.
Indeed, there will always people like those no matter what age we’re in. Not all people have the virtue of a commoner. However
Jii-chan said.
Are all the dropouts of modern society going to Yakuza? Will the Yakuza obese in power still accept young drop-outs from the community?
that’s!
Fraud distress phone calls, ah, they’re called Help me mom scam now,. Will you accept the young perpetrators who commit such scams?
the young ones all try to survive in whatever way they can!
Satake said.
Then, will those young people have a future? No, if they’re in their late teens or 20s, they still can re-do their life. But what about you, those in their 30s, in their 40s, do you have a plan for 10-20 years? What will you do when you’re too old?
that’s for them to think, they can’t be Yakuza once they’re too old
If you were just a gang of young toughs in the old days, then that answer could’ve been okay. However, times have changed. You’re now too big of an organization. In my eyes, the current age doesn’t need a Yakuza organization How dare you say that, without us, the big enterprise would be wiping their own asses right now!
Jii-chan.
I cover all aspects when going into business. Kouzuki SS is created for that reason
Satake’s taken aback.
We are much more fearsome, much stronger than you. Furthermore, we don’t ask for maintenance protection money. We’re also in an equal and friendly relationship with the police
Shou-neechan said.
so what?
Do you still not understand? We’re saying that all the business you’re doing until now, defending from crime syndicates, dealing with hostiles, smoothing out the interests between parties, are all possible with our group as well That means?
you’re saying that you want to eradicate the Yakuza itself?
Satake’s in panic. Shou-neechan said.
Oh? We do plan on letting free those who can contribute to us. We will only deal with those no longer useful. In the end, the current status is illogical. There’s too many of you sharing the same portion of the business, instead of providing services to the public. We only want to balance the demand and supply chain. Naturally, we will be supporting the drop-outs too. Those who can’t work on the backside then has to work on the front side, right? You can’t introduce them to a job on the surface, but Kouzuki house controls multiple enterprises, and once the deal is done, that is an increase to our reputation Kouzuki SS intends to take away all of what the Yakuza’s doing now.
that’s not possible
Oh? Why do you think so?
Shou-neechan smiles.
No, but, we’re different from you. We Yakuza
So what’s the difference?
We have our resolve! We will shoot if we need too! That’s why we!
Is that something you should say to someone who already used a gun?
Shou-neechan says.
That reasoning will only cause trouble to the ordinary citizens who don’t hold weapons. If you like it that way, then go to some unpopulated island and kill each other there
i!
Satake hesitates to speak.
By the way, why did you take over the Takakura shrine?
Shou-neechan asks Satake calmly.
Huh, no, that’s
Why did you kill the priest and the shrine maiden? Takakura shrine isn’t your territory but Oodori-san’s. Well, the shrine itself should belong to the whole Kansai yakuza, but it’s substantially under Oodori-san’s control for nearly 20 years uugh
You should know that, right? Yet, why did you try to take over the Takakura shrine? Could you tell us the reason?
Shou-neechan smiles.
That’s right, I wanted to ask the same thing
Oodori speaks to Satake.
Satake, I know that we weren’t close, but we’re not hostile to each other either. And yet, why did you try to take away the Takakura shrine from me?
Ugh, Ugh
Satake sits down on his chair and whispers to Kinzou.
Err, the chairman doesn’t know. He doesn’t understand why he says
He doesn’t know it himself?
Yet, he still took over the Takakura shrine.
Then he killed Tsukiko’s parents.
Wait, could this be?
It’s the Miko power?
I mutter unconsciously.
Miko power includes the ability to make someone obey the user’s will.
You don’t know it yourself, I see. And right now, you never had the doubt why you did it
Shou-neechan’s voice echoes.
Please close down the bamboo blinds
Shou-neechan said.
A shutter comes down on Jii-chan’s VIP room’s glass box.
Tsukiko and everyone is soon covered.
I can see them looking confused.
As expected, Kouzuki-san can’t afford to make a direct contact
Margo-san said.
With who?
I asked.
Huh, you know it already don’t you?
Nei tells me.
Okay, look over here
Then, Kinoshita-san brings us a small-sized monitor to watch on.
You mustn’t look at her directly from now on. We will be watching from the monitors of the security camera as well
Nei said.
That means.
Miko power needs a certain distance, and they don’t affect those who watch through the cameras
Michi said.
I see.
Well then, let’s introduce her
Shou-neechan turns her back and looks at the monitor.
Our last character, Takakura Kiyomi-san, please enter!
Chapter 738
Let us welcome the arrival of our last character. Takakura Kiyomi-san, come in!
The door on the south side opens.
Yo-chan, don’t look
Oh right.
I look at the small monitor handed over to us.
A beautiful middle-aged woman wearing a kimono stands in the light.
Her features are similar to the Takakura sisters.
She’s definitely Tsukiko’s aunt. Takakura Kiyomi.
She enters the hall.
The guards following Kiyomi are all wearing helmets.
Their whole head is covered.
Those guys are watching through monitors in their helmet. They’re using radio to communicate with each other, and so they can’t hear Kiyomi-san’s voice
Margo-san analyzes.
Even if one can use Qi to control someone’s mind, logically, you can’t manipulate someone if they can’t hear your voice
Yeah, people won’t move in a specific manner unless you show them a clear image in words. People act using their imagination after all
Nei said.
The door from the back closes down.
Takakura Kiyomi arrives at the center, surrounded by guards wearing a helmet.
Forgive me for I cannot speak directly to you, I can’t listen to your voice directly either
Shou-neechan also has headphones on her head and a monitor with her.
Also, let me tell you beforehand if you make any suspicious movements, our men are on standby to shoot you to death. There’s already remote-controlled machine guns aimed at you. There’s also the possibility that you already took control of our guards before they could wear their protective helmet. Chief Yazawa from Kouzuki SS has the authority on the switch to activate the machine gun on a separate room. We have observers from multiple locations and cameras in locations your power can’t reach Shou-neechan and Jii-chan don’t trust Takakura Kiyomi’s powers.
Then that means.
Is it okay for us to stay here?
Shouldn’t we also wear headphones to listen to Takakura Kiyomi?
Yoshinobu-kun, Kouzuki-san, and Minaho wants you to hear her voice without interference
Margo-san?
Shou-neechan and all the guards in here needs to be secured at all times no matter what
Yeah, there’s always the what if
It’s okay, even if something happens where you or we here get manipulated, we can manage it somehow
But, why is Jii-chan not going to listen to her voice?
That’s what I don’t understand.
They say that voice shows the truth to the people
Truth.
Actually, Kouzuki-san also wants to talk to her face-to-face. That’s common courtesy. But, considering Kiyomi-san’s ability, that’s not possible. Therefore, Kouzuki-san wants you to listen to her voice in his stead For Jii-chan.
That’s also the reason why Minaho didn’t come down
Oh, Minaho-neesan’s perhaps,
She’s watching the monitors along with chief Yazawa.
They’re to watch whether Kiyomi-san moves suspiciously.
They’re to watch if she’s used her Miko power on someone and now they’re moving strangely.
If there’s a slight change, then they can respond right away.
They’re monitoring everything that’s happening in this hall through the cameras stationed here and there.
I’m sure that chief Yazawa, who knows this more than anyone, and Minaho-neesan who’s used to watching the brothel through monitors can watch through everything.
Now then, your name was Takakura Kiyomi-san, was it?
Jii-chan’s voice echoes in the room.
I’m very sorry for making you do all this
Takakura Kiyomi bows her head.
Umu, well done coming here
Jii-chan’s in the VIP room covered in a glass, but the shutters are lowered, and so you can’t see him.
I wonder how’s Tsukiko and the two now that they can see their aunt?
Yo-chan, don’t look up. Keep your eyes on the monitor
Nei reminds me.
There’s always a possibility that she takes control of you the moment you let down your guard
Michi also tells me.
Takakura Kiyomi-san, is it correct to assume that you’re the origin of all of the current events?
Jii-chan speaks in a low tone. Kiyomi;
Yes, you’re correct
She answers calmly.
I controlled Chairman Satake to kill my sister and her husband, and take over the Takakura shrine
As expected.
Don’t be ridiculous! i did it on my own will! i would never listen to anyone’s orders, not even from you!
Satake screams in panic.
Yes. I made sure that you think that way
Kiyomi said.
You made sure that he won’t notice he’s under your control
Jii-chan mutters.
Is that the real power of the Takakura shrine maidens?
Takakura Kiyomi gazes at nothing but her front.
Yes, that’s correct. This is the Tsuki power which was used since the ancient times by the Takakura shrine
Ah.
I knew it. Tsuki power is the one to make people obey.
That also means that Yomi power reads people’s minds.
Kiyomi taught the girls the different names of the powers.
Why?
I see. However, according to my subordinate’s investigation, the Miko power handed down to the shrine maidens in Takakura shrine since ancient times has declined during the Meiji era
The power the shrine maidens had in the shrine was lost.
Then, they accepted a separate power from the wandering shrine maidens during the Meiji era.
I have revived it. I used the ancient documents in the Takakura shrine and used the methods of passing down used by the wandering shrine maidens
Takakura Kiyomi said.
You did?
To be exact, it was my husband. My husband studies in reading ancient documents. However, he became a Yakuza as he has gone astray for his foolishness
Speaking of which, I think I heard that Kiyomi-san had children.
My husband has frequented the Takakura shrine as his role as a lookout. Then, he opened up the shrine’s treasury without permission and read through the ancient documents
When was that?
About thirty years ago. My husband and I are twenty years apart
Kiyomi-san replied.
My husband did it out his curiosity, and he had me try out the practices written in the documents. Then, compared to the wandering shrine maiden methods my mother taught me, I was able to cultivate my power
And thus, Kiyomi-san obtained such strong power?
Then, why did you not become the Takakura shrine maiden? If you have that much power, then shouldn’t you be the shrine maiden, not your late sister?
Jii-chan’s right.
Why did Kiyomi-san not become the shrine maiden?
That’s because my husband wishes to monopolize my power
Kiyomi-san said.
If I become the Takakura shrine maiden, then my power would belong to the whole Kansai Yakuza. My husband didn’t like that idea
He thought of monopolizing your power and rise to the top of the Kansai Yakuza?
Kiyomi-san shows a sad smile.
No, my husband didn’t have such aspirations
Then why?
My husband found the ancient documents researched about it, and after he finished it, he only wanted to monopolize what he calls my doll If my world is shown to a larger society the surely a boss would take me. He didn’t want it, and so he forced me to hide my power. Therefore, I use my powers to make everyone believe that I don’t have it Kiyomi-san used her Tsuki power to make the bosses in Yakuza believe that she has no power, that she’s not suited to become a shrine maiden.
My husband feels extreme pleasure from hiding the fact that I hold strong power. He could’ve used me on whoever boss it maybe when necessary and make them follow his will
However, that didn’t happen?
Jii-chan inquires.
Yes. My husband was an extreme coward. He’s satisfied just to conceal me, and he never used my power for his gain ever
If he used her at least once,
Then someone would notice Kiyomi-san’s power.
He thinks that someone else with a higher rank than him in Yakuza would take Kiyomi-san away.
He didn’t do anything.
Oh, there’s only one time. This has nothing to do with my husband, but when I was 18, I used my power to have my husband as my caretaker. And in line with my husband’s plan, he appealed to the bosses to have him as my caretaker I see. Kiyomi-san’s husband belongs to the management side in the Yakuza’s world.
Therefore, she couldn’t have a formal marriage with her husband.
And, what did you think about it?
Jii-chan asks.
Nothing much. I was young, and so I followed what my husband said. When I was young, I trusted my husband with all my heart. When I became aware of my situation, my husband is already an adult, and I don’t have any other men close to me. My husband was kind to me Kiyomi-san replies.
Naturally, I know that I have the blood of the shrine maiden. However, I was young at that time, and so I thought that my sister would take over the title. No, to be exact, after my sister succeeding, I would take over. Takakura Shrine maidens are short-lived people after all There are multiple cases of the shrine maidens conducting the arbitration ritual, forced to have sex with the Yakuza boss, and thus read their memory. Which results for their heart to crumble.
Mother has done her role as the shrine maiden, and I saw how she has become weak with my own eyes, and so my sister and I have resolved ourselves to the same fate
Kiyomi-san said.
However, you didn’t become a shrine maiden, have you?
Jii-chan’s questions are sharp.
Yet, just recently, the shrine maiden died, and you entered Takakura shrine. Taking from your words, you weren’t supposed to be the next shrine maiden, however,
Kiyomi-san doesn’t move at all, she just looks at the same location.
You came here wearing that clothing. Aren’t you showing me that you’re not a shrine maiden?
That’s right, we had Tsukiko and the two wear shrine maiden clothes to draw the attention of the Yakuza.
If that’s the case, Kiyomi-san;
Kiyomi-san is the perpetrator who took over the Takakura shrine.
Shouldn’t she be wearing a shrine maiden clothing to show her legitimacy?
But.
Yes. I’m not qualified to succeed as the shrine maiden
Kiyomi-san replied.
Why do you think so?
My sister gave birth to Tsukiko after her first arbitration ritual. At that stage, there are already signs that my sister’s mind is suffering
It was already there when Tsukiko was born?
I have learned from mother on how to train to become a shrine maiden, and so I can use the Yomi power which the wandering shrine maidens used. I’ve seen through the condition of my sister. However
Kiyomi-san signed.
My sister gave birth to Yomiko-san. My sister and her husband’s marriage was decided by the surrounding people, but they loved each other. Therefore, after giving birth to her daughter with her loved one, she looked stable Yomiko’s 14 now.
That means it was 14 years ago.
And seeing my sister like that, I felt jealous. I also wanted to have a loving marriage and childbirth, just like my sister. Back then, I was a middle school student
However, that’s not the last of the sisters.
Luna’s currently 12-years-old.
If you add the pregnancy period, that would be 13 years ago.
That’s the time of the second arbitration ritual.
Takakura shrine was contacted to perform the arbitration ritual once again after two years. I was 17 years old at that time
Kiyomi-san’s body trembled.
If we’re to follow the order, I should be the one in charge of that arbitration ritual. I knew that my sister’s heart wouldn’t be able to stand a second arbitration ritual. The bosses would prefer to have sex with myself, a virgin, than my sister, who is a mother of two children by that time. My sister should’ve retired, and I should’ve become the next shrine maiden Then why that didn’t happen?
Jii-chan asks.
My husband didn’t like the idea. No, back then, he wasn’t my husband, he was just a kind man who taught me about the Tsuki Miko power. But, my husband cared for me, and I can feel that he didn’t want me to have sex with other men. I read his mind Does he love you?
Kiyomi-san.
No. In retrospect, his emotions weren’t love
Then what is it?
A strong attachment to me and a desire to monopolize. That’s all. However, for the 17-year-old me, it was love. No, I deluded myself that it was
She wanted to think that it was love.
That is how much I felt fear from reading my sister’s mind about the arbitration ritual. I thought that I should evade it if I can. I’m a woman with an ugly heart
Not really. Your sister and the previous generation of shrine maidens were all virgins, and they have endured having sex with more than one men without even having any experience in sex. They don’t know what will happen to them in the future. However, you have read those horrific memories your sister experienced with your power. It’s not unreasonable to feel fear Jii-chan said.
However, my 17-year-old self rode my husband’s car and then had sex with him. I threw my everything and relied on the man familiar to me
Kiyomi-san said.
After giving my virginity to my husband, he started acting as he said. That was the time when the bosses thought that I don’t have the ability to succeed as the shrine maiden. And thus, my sister conducted the second arbitration ritual!
Luna’s born as a result.
I came to my senses after Luna-san was born. I noticed that my sister’s heart is on the verge of collapsing. But, I can no longer inherit the title as the shrine maiden
Was it because you were entrusted to your husband?
Jii-chan asks. Kiyomi-san;
Yes. At that time, I was also giving birth to my husband’s child
Giving birth?
At 18-years of age, I gave birth to my daughter, and my husband took custody of me
She made a child, and so she was made to leave the Takakura shrine and stay with her husband.
No, should I say that Kiyomi-san used her power to the bosses?
In the end, I was young, and I was ignorant. I didn’t know much about the Takakura shrine maidens nor the power I had
Kiyomi-san speaks mournfully.
Soon after, there were disputes that may have started another arbitration ritual. I stopped both of those using my power. That’s how much power I had. Even now, I know in what turn should I talk to the boss, or what’s the power relationship between the Yakuza’s world very well Then aren’t you the one controlling the Kansai Yakuza’s world?
No, all I want is not to get caught
Kiyomi-san replied.
Also, to have fun. Living with my husband, my daughter, away from the Takakura shrine
Kiyomi-san takes a deep breath.
Let me ask again, did you, do you love your husband?
Jii-chan asks. Kiiyomi-san paused for a moment.
I wonder about that now. To my young self, a man that is kind to me is someone I feel a familiarity with, someone I respect. Is that emotion different from love? To begin with, I grew up in a closed box, and so I don’t know much about love. Even now, I still don’t understand it. After all, I killed my husband with my own hands Kiyomi-san?
She killed her husband?
For several years, I have watched over my sister’s daughter’s training as her condition is getting worse. But, I feel I owe my sister a lot. I cannot let her children carry the fate of the shrine maidens. Therefore, I deliberately slowed down their training. I taught them incorrectly. It was all not to let them wake up their power She swapped the names of the Tsuki and Yomi power.
Yomiko’s power to make someone obey her is too weak that it’s not useful.
Luna, who accumulated too much Qi, didn’t wake up her power.
Naturally, I didn’t want to let my daughter inherit the shrine maiden title either.
However, did you not think that someone else will inherit?
That’s why I plan to end the history of the Takakura shrine maidens using all of my power
And that is the impetus of all that happened?
Jii-chan asks.
Concerning the result. Yes. By no means, I aimed for this timing
Kiyomi-san smiles wryly.
I can read minds, and so I was careful about my husband’s behavior so far. I didn’t read my husband’s mind with my Yomi power nor use my Tsuki power to manipulate my husband’s will. I had faith in him
Then why is it
This summer vacation, my daughter left home to a club activity camp. At that time, my husband also worked away from home for some reason. That time, I noticed
Could this be?
When the two went home, I noticed it right away. My husband hid it from me, but he started to teach my daughter to train her Miko power. He really was a fool. It seems that he thought I couldn’t read my daughter’s power with his newly developed training. That’s why he thought he could hide it from me Kiyomisan laughs.
My husband didn’t even understand the amount of power I had! I could read any changes in one’s heart, no matter how small it is!
Her husband started making their daughter use Miko power.
I used it. To my daughter. To my husband. I used my Miko power. To make them forget. And feeling pathetic, I cried
Kiyomi-san said.
Then, I went to Takakura shrine. My sister’s condition was reaching the worst. Therefore, after using my power on my husband, my daughter, I used it on my sister. I thought that I could use my power to mend my sister’s heart, But you weren’t able to
Jii-chan said. Kiyomi-san;
Yes. That’s because my sister and the priest loved each other too much. After reading their heart, I understood. The priest was prepared to die with my sister whose heart is about to break
Tsukiko’s mother and father.
Takakura shrine’s former priest and shrine maiden.
I felt pain, sadness, misery. After all, I pushed my sister to hell, just to be with that man. That’s how much we, he loved me, and I loved him. That should be how it was. That is why I did go that far towards my sister! And despite all that!
Kiyomi-san scratches off her hair.
That man didn’t love me. That man loved only my power, and he doesn’t do anything with it, he’s satisfied to have it for himself and hide it away from anyone else, that’s how pathetic, how small he was, that in the end, he even tried to make our daughter have it!
The voice of a crazy woman echoes in the large hall.
Therefore, I did what my sister wished for! I had the two of them! I killed them together before my sister’s heart broke down!
Chapter 739
And so, what did you do?
Jii-chan’s voice echoes in the hall.
I used chairman Satake to kill my sister and her husband
Takakura Kiyomi confesses.
I controlled Satake’s mind and gave him the plan to kill the couple and take over the Takakura shrine
In short, the events that occurred are as you planned?
That is correct
Do the sisters hear this confession?
Their aunt was the one who killed their parents though the Yakuza.
She used her Takakura shrine maiden power.
I want to see the three.
However, I can’t even look up and away from the monitor.
hey! Wait a second!
Then, Satake,
that’s a lie! i’m not under that woman’s control!
He screams.
I did it for my own! I made that decision and did it! I KNOW THAT I DID IT FOR MYSELF!
I made it so that you won’t notice it. I’m sorry
Kiyomi-san bows her head to Satake.
And you used your power to Oodori-kun as well, haven’t you?
Jii-chan asks further.
Yes. My husband is a member of Yakuza, and since he has been in charge of monitoring the Takakura shrine for a long time, he’s acquainted with Oodori-sama. I used my husband to meet with both Oodori-sama and Satake-sama Ugugugu! I don’t remember that. Ignoring the past encounters, I’ve never met you for the past few years! Kiyomi!
Oodori’s also confused.
No, we just met a few days ago. It was the same day I ordered Satake-sama to kill my sister and her husband. Oodori-sama has forgotten about it because I sealed it off
Kiyomi-san said.
It was Oodori-sama who told me about Kouzuki-sama
Kiyomi-san heard about Jii-chan from Oodori?
You mentioned that only Kouzuki-sama has so much power that not even all of Kansai Yakuza joined together can fight him. And that’s why I decided to depend on Kouzuki-sama
Oh, I.
I noticed something we overlooked.
How did Tsukiko and the girls escape from the hijacked Takakura shrine safely?
And, why did they seek Jii-chan’s help?
The sisters couldn’t possibly know how to contact Jii-chan.
That means.
That is why I thank you for accepting my selfish request for this occasion
Takakura Kiyomi bows her head to Jii-chan.
I don’t mind. It was in my plans to reorganize the world of Yakuza either way eventually. Other than that, did you.
Yes. I erased the thought that Kouzuki-sama is a fearsome man and you must never fight him from their thoughts
Then, is it as you promised, you only took away their memories about me?
Yes, Kouzuki-sama. What’s left is to convince the two that they have to make the Takakura shrine and the sisters their own
And that’s why Oodori and Satake sent their men to Tokyo without fearing Kouzuki family.
Sending dozens of subordinates to chase after Tsukiko.
Forgetting your fear of me, you sent your men to Tokyo without hesitation. You ignored whatever the circumstances here. That’s how you were
Jii-chan tells Oodori and Satake.
Although, even if you were under her control, the decision for your death penalty can’t be overturned. You acted lacking in thoughtfulness, and so give it up
But, I!
i!
The two seem to be dissatisfied with what Jii-chan said.
It can’t be helped. Kiyomi-kun, could you remind them of who I am?
Yes
Kiyomi-san first goes to oodir.
what?
Oodori-sama, I’m very sorry
She approaches Oodori and touches his cheek with her finger.
At that moment.
aa!
Oodori screams.
what have I done!
He collapses and trembles down.
Meanwhile, Kiyomi-san approaches Satake.
Satake-sama as well, I’m very sorry
She pokes Satake’s nose.
Uwawawawa. that’s right; you were that woman from last time!
Satake also starts trembling.
Huh, Why? Why did I start this reckless war? There’s not a single chance of winning in this one!
This is Kiyomi-san’s power.
I’d like to confirm it one last time, have you used your power on me two days ago when I was in Kyoto?
Jii-chan said.
I knew it.
It was Kiyomi-san who entrusted Tsukiko and the two to Jii-chan and Minaho-neesan.
No. I didn’t use my power on Kouzuki-sama. Nor I used it to read your mind
Kiyomi-san replied.
Do you think I would trust that? My close aides and I have been monitoring you since our conversation with you, no, since discovering about the power of the Takakura shrine maiden. And I’ve made strict orders to restrain me in case I move or speak out of my character Jii-chan said.
Minaho’s the same. Therefore, we try not to make contact with you guys as much as possible for the past few days. And Katsuko-san, Nagisa-san and I have been monitoring Minaho as we didn’t come to Kyoto
Margo-san tells me.
Goodness, the thought that someone might be controlling your mind is bad for the heart. I don’t want this experience ever again
I’m very sorry
No, I still don’t trust you. How can you prove that you didn’t try to pry with our minds during our meeting in Kyoto?
Kiyomi-san;
Well, I have a reason why I can’t use my power on Kouzuki-sama
What is that reason?
I plan on committing suicide after this
Suicide?
However, my sister and her husband entrusted Tsukiko-san to me. I also have my daughter. I feel sorry for the children, but I would like to entrust them to Kouzuki-sama
Then, why can’t you give me that order?
Kiyomi-san shakes her head.
No, it’s unknown whether the shrine maiden’s order to someone using her power would persist even in death. My husband couldn’t find it out in his research
If the shrine maiden dies,
Then the order given to someone may disappear.
If after my death, Kouzuki-sama, you noticed that I controlled you, then you might mistreat my daughter and nieces. I’d like to avoid that development if possible
Kiyomi-san said.
Umu. I can understand that. However, because of the events you have caused, I indeed was able to start working on my long worry about reorganizing the Kansai Yakuza. However, the costs I had to pay for you all was enormous. In addition to that, you’re trying to push over your daughter and her cousins to me to look for after your death. Don’t you think this is unfair? Do you plan on dying without even paying off the costs to me yet?
Jii-chan asks. Kiyomi-san.
My death is my compensation
What do you mean?
If I die, then the only shrine maiden who has this fearsome power will be gone from this world. There won’t be anyone like me that will bother you again
Kiyomi-san speaks gently.
As I mentioned earlier, I didn’t teach Tsukiko-san, Yomiko-san, and Luna-san the correct training to become a shrine maiden. Therefore, they’ll never be able to carry the Miko power of the Takakura shrine. I taught them lies No, that’s.
Kiyomi-san, she doesn’t know about Tsukiko’s growth from yesterday.
Tsukiko and the girls start to awaken their power.
My daughter stopped her training, and so she’ll never become a shrine maiden. And my husband who has deciphered the ancient documents in the Takakura shrine is no longer in this world
That’s right,
She mentioned that she killed her husband.
I have incinerated all of my husband’s handwritten data, and all of the ancient documents in the shrine during the past few days
Oh.
Oh, so the reason why Kiyomi-san replaced Tsukiko and entered the Takakura shrine,
She wants to dispose of all the documents remaining in the shrine.
And if I die, there won’t be anyone who can obtain the power of Takakura shrine maidens in this world. This fearsome power will be gone forever. Therefore, Kouzuki-sama!
Kiyomi-san appeals to Jii-chan.
Please take care of the girls after I take out my life
Jii-chan.
Is keeping them alive sufficient?
He asks in a calm voice.
I may turn your daughter to a prostitute
Kiyomi-san.
As long as they are alive, that is good enough
Are you sure?
I believe that the fate of becoming a prostitute is much better than becoming a shrine maiden
Do you find the idea of the Takakura shrine maiden that unbearable?
Yes. It’s hell to live as a shrine maiden
However, you’re not a shrine maiden, are you? It was your late sister who became the shrine maiden.
that’s because I read my sister’s heart
Kiyomi-san said.
The children must never inherit this. The shrine maidens have to end with me
Then, must you die no matter what?
Jii-chan said.
Yes. There’s no path left for me but death
I see Kiyomi-san’s eyes looking like it’s possessed by something.
I see, then bring that to her
Jii-chan orders and the guard wearing a helmet brings in a wagon.
The wagon has a wine bottle with no label and a glass.
Do you not mind the Socrates method?
Yes, I killed my husband with this method as well
The guard pours the wine to the glass.
Do you have any last will you want to say?
Jii-chan said. Kiyomi-san.
She looks up at Tsukiko and the girls in the VIP room.
Tsukiko-san, Yomiko-san, Luna-san. I’m sorry. I was a bad aunt. I apologize for your mother and father. Please forget about becoming a shrine maiden. Please get along with my Koyomi. Please. Also, please tell her. I love her. Mama loves her from the bottom of her heart Then, Kiyomi-san takes the glass.
This is a poisoned drink.
Definitely.
Is that okay?
Just like that?
Am I just going to watch someone die here?
Is this really okay?
Yoshinobu-kun, there’s no other way
Margo-san tells me
Nei and Michi hug me from both sides.
We cannot do anything about this conclusion
I look at the monitor.
Kiyomi-san raises the poisoned wine glass.
Well then, excuse me, everyone. Farewell!
She drinks it all in one gulp.
Then.
Ugugugugu!
The beauty in Japanese clothes collapses on the floor, groaning.
This will end without her suffering as the poison acts immediately
Margo-san’s right.
Kiyomi-san turns quiet right away.
She looks like she’s at peace.
Autopsy
Shou-neechan orders.
The guards were wearing helmet checks Kiyomi-san’s pulse.
No pulse. Heart stopped beating. Breathing stopped. She’s dead
I’ve confirmed it as well
She’s dead, without a doubt
Each of the members conducted their investigations and reported.
Bring in the stretcher
Men carrying stretcher comes from the south side.
The guards bring in Kiyomi-san’s body to the stretcher.
Then, she’s covered with a white cloth.
Michi-chan, Edie? What do you think?
Shou-neechan asks Michi and Edie.
I can’t sense her Qi
She’s dead for sure
The two replied.
Thanks
Shou-neechan sighed.
Then.
Kakka, it’s all done
She tells Jii-chan.
Good work, everyone. Those watching in the monitors can look up now. She’s no longer letting out her strange power
It’s okay now, Yo-chan
Nei said.
I looked up from the small monitor and above.
Oh.
The shutter in Jii-chan’s VIP room is rising.
Jii-chan’s showing a relieved face.
Tsukiko and the two are crying.
The three of them are hugging each other.
That was an insentient yet effeminate woman
Jii-chan evaluates the late Kiyomi-san.
She’s looking to reverse from the conclusion to reason. And she desperately thinks that the real cause was the reason she made post-event
What does that mean?
We have doubted that she might’ve controlled her mind. Just like how she controlled Oodori-kun and Satake-kun. However
Jii-chan’s eyes look at Kiyomi-san on the stretcher.
In the end, she didn’t notice that she was also under someone’s control
Kiyomi-san?
You’re saying that someone was controlling Kiyomi-san?
But, if we look at the people who have the Yomi Miko power,
Apart from Kiyomi-san, it’s Tsukiko and the girls.
The Miko power’s effect continues even if the user dies. She was the proof of that
Does it persist after death?
Tsukiko and the girls are still alive.
I can see them crying right now.
Then that means.
Takakura Kiyomi was under control of the sister she had killed
It’s Tsukiko’s mother?
The late shrine maiden was having psychological problems and living as the shrine maiden has gnawed her heart. She wished to die together with her husband as soon as possible
Those were the thoughts of Tsukiko’s late mother, the former shrine maiden.
Takakura Kiyomi has received the wave of her sister’s dark emotions and has assimilated with it. Then, she has fulfilled the revenge against the Kansai Yakuza that was swirling in her sister’s heart
The thoughts of the elder sister took over.
Takakura Kiyomi thinks that she is a much stronger shrine maiden than her sister. She believed that her husband decoded the ancient documents, and that made her stronger. However
Jii-chan said.
There’s no proof that the younger sister was stronger. Shrine maidens are shrine maidens. Maybe, the elder sister became the shrine maiden because she had enough power in her
One can’t become a shrine maiden unless they have enough power.
Then, as they’re recognized as the shrine maiden, their power should grow.
In the first place, power isn’t something that can be assessed that easily. An F1 Racing car is powerful in terms of horsepower and speed. However, only one person can enter the race car. It can’t continue running for several days without failing. On the other hand, a commercial truck isn’t fast, but it can carry a lot. It also has the stamina to continue running for days without maintenance. The superiority of power changes according to the circumstances Then that means.
Takakura Kiyomi believes that she carries stronger power than her sister when her sister starts breaking down from illness. She didn’t notice that her sister was controlling her because of that wrong impression Jii-chan’s voice echoes.
The thought that her sister has become ill and pessimistic is what made it possible to control Takakura Kiyomi. The despair from becoming a Takakura shrine maiden, the idea of wanting to die together with her husband, all of her sister’s dark emotions have become hers That’s right, Kiyomi-san’s last lines were,
Lines from someone who has become the Takakura shrine maiden.
Kiyomi-san wasn’t a shrine maiden, however.
Perhaps, her mentally ill sister only wanted her to fulfill the double suicide she wishes for. Or maybe, she wanted to entrust the revenge on the Yakuza who made her suffer and take care of her daughter to someone else. Takakura Yomiko moved according to the will of the ill shrine maiden. She used the Yakuza, killed her sister and the husband, involved the Takakura shrine, developed it into a dispute, and handed over the custody of the children to em. This was all her sister’s will All Kiyomi-san did was follow it.
Wait!
I shouted.
If that’s the case, why does Kiyomi-san have to die? There would be no reason for it if it were her sister who made her do all this?
The hall quiets down.
That’s because there’s no way to rescind it
Huh?
The former shrine maiden who controlled Takakura Kiyomi is already dead. Who can release the Miko power binding her? There is nobody who has the same power as Takakura Kiyomi!
that’s.
Furthermore, Takakura Kiyomi is starting to get insane. Her late sister’s heart and her heart are heading to ruin. She’s rewriting her memory
Jii-chan.
Takakura Kiyomi’s daughter is already in our care in Kyoto. Despite her statement, it wasn’t her husband who trained the daughter but herself
Kiyomi-san trained her daughter?
When her sister’s mind took over, the dead shrine maiden feared for her daughter to train to become a shrine maiden, and so the unpleasant emotions has infected Kiyomi. Thus, her memory’s altered. Instead of her, it was the husband who trained their daughter Her sister’s thoughts are taking over.
Other than that, we have obtained Takakura Kiyomi’s video, and everything was different from the woman who just died. The way she talked, she thinks, she stands. Takakura Kiyomi herself overlapped with the late shrine maiden, and she has created a different personality. Or so to speak, Kiyomi is in a status where she believes and acts as her sister thinks. However, the shrine maiden that has stimulated Kiyomi is ill. If left alone, it will get worse. Then, what do you think will happen if a woman who curses the world and feels despair holds so much power? It will become a trouble if left alone Jii-chan said.
That’s why we pushed to her impulse to commit suicide and let her do it
Shou-neechan said.
We had this debate for hours. But, there’s no other option. Takakura Kiyomi is beyond saving
.I
I’m tired. Sakagami-kun, I’ll leave Oodori-kun to Satake-kun to you. Do what I said earlier. Yakuza who knows about the power of the Takakura shrine maiden can no longer exist. It’s no longer permitted. That is my word to the woman who just died The witnessing bosses stand up.
Yes, Kakka. We will deal with Oodori and Satake ourselves. We will deal with them as they have violated the code in our world
In regards to the subordinates, only kill those who are talkative. And keep those who you are sure to keep the secret of the Takakura shrine maiden in this room alive
Ha!
Now that’s mentioned, everyone feels desperate for their lives.
They know that Kouzuki house and Kouzuki SS is much more frightening than the Yakuza.
Let’s talk about the reorganization of the Yakuza world later sometime. Also, as for the Takakura shrine, it will be an ordinary shrine from now on. I won’t allow the Yakuza to intervene from now on. It will soon be under Kouzuki house’s control, do you mind?
Not at all
Boss Sakagami promised.
Anyone who opposes that arrangement will be against Kouzuki house. That includes those who try to investigate the Takakura shrine maidens and the Miko power
Jii-chan said.
Then.
Yoshinobu, come over. Take care of the Takakura sisters. It’s impossible for me
Jii-chan calls me out.
Okay
I’m also worried about Tsukiko and the girls as they’re crying.
Sakagami, this is Yoshinobu. Remember him. He is Misuzu’s fiance, and he will be the one in charge of the Kouzuki house from behind the scenes
Jii-chan introduces me to the bosses.
Unlike me, he has the guts to sit in there. He watched over the case and breathed the same air as you without caring about the danger
Huh?
I see. That’s why he was there all the time
How courageous
As expected of Kakka, you’ve chosen a fine man
The bosses from Yakuza speak unanimously.
Chapter 740
Please come this way
Kinoshita-san leads the way with a smile.
It looks like she’s in charge of guiding us.
Leaving the Yakuza who were dumbfounded by the developments behind, we head to the northern side and left the room.
Margo-san, Nei, Michi, Edie, and me.
Speaking of which, where’s Kudou Haruka.
She carried her mother together with her brother.
Going through!
The two guards from Kouzuki SS holding the door let us through.
The doors won’t open unless Kinoshita-san authorizes it with her fingerprint.
Then, we’re in front of the elevator.
This elevator also has an authentication system
Pipi
Kinoshita-san places her hand on the panel, and the elevator door opens.
Let’s go
We arrived in the VIP room where Jii-chan’s staying.
Looking down, I see the glass wall, and below it is the room we were in earlier.
Kou-sama!
Sensei!
Nii-san!
The Takakura sisters in their shrine maiden clothing saw me and rushed while crying.
Kou-sama, I
I
Me too!
The three of them found out that their aunt is the mastermind of all this.
And the one manipulating their aunt was their late mother.
Currently, they’re shaken as they watched their aunt die.
It’s okay now, you’ll be fine
I hug the three.
That’s right. Yo-chan’s here, it’s okay now
You don’t have to worry
It’s okay
Nei, Michi, and Edie pat the back of the three gently.
Then, the sister’s heart softens up.
The three of them starts crying louder.
I hug the girls and keep on patting their back.
You’ve accumulated their trust towards you since yesterday
Minaho-neesan shows up.
You can hug Yoshinobu all you want once we come back home. Sorry but Kouzuki-sama’s waiting. I’ll borrow him for a while
She tells the sisters.
Go, Yo-chan. You have something you have to tell Kouzuki-ojiichan, right?
Nei tells me.
Right, I.
I’m taking custody of Tsukiko and the two, they won’t become prostitutes.
I have to explain that to Jii-chan.
Hold it for a while longer Tsukiko-chan. Yo-chan’s going to talk to Kouzuki-ojiichan about you girls
Nei said and hugs the sisters tightly.
We’re here with you, please hold it for a while
Indeed
Tsukiko wipes off her tears.
Yes. We’re okay now, I feel relieved seeing Kou-sama and everyone. Sorry, I’m the eldest and yet, We’ll wait here. Please go on, Kou-sama
The eldest sister speaks firmly.
Yeah, I’m going
Kouzuki-sama’s waiting in the room in the back, come with me
I follow Minaho-neesan to another room.
Knock. Knock.
Who’s there?
Kuromori. I have my brother with me
Come in
Click.
This must be the waiting room for the VIP area.
Chief Yazawa and Jii-chan are in a 6 tatami sized room.
Then as mentioned earlier, you should switch with Seki-kun by now. I’ve imposed a lot of hard work from her this time
I think that it’s a necessary test on we’re to hand over Kouzuki SS to Seki in the future. It was the first time she had control on all of the sections of the company
Tell her that she passed
Certainly
Chief Yazawa salutes and leaves the room.
However.
Jii-chan, you seem tired
Now that it’s just the three of us, I asked him.
That’s obvious, I didn’t think that I’d have to play a role at this age
Jii-chan said.
That woman, Takakura Kiyomi told me that she didn’t know about Kouzuki house until she heard it from Oodori
He sighed.
Perhaps, the late shrine maiden knew about it. Furthermore, the idea was distorted
Tsukiko’s mother knows about Kouzuki house?
I have that experience. As I’m the eldest of Kouzuki house, it’s established that I will succeed as the owner. Nevertheless, there’s a lot of unexpected events until I was announced as the head
Jii-chan stopped and saw that Minaho-neesan and I aren’t seating yet.
He points at a chair.
We bring in a chair near the wall and sit down.
Takakura Kiyomi didn’t become the shrine maiden but confessed that she’s stronger than her sister. However, the elder sister has become the shrine maiden, and she is aware that she has to become one. It’s similar to the Kouzuki name. Kouzuki house is a family of wealthy people living in Kyoto from the start. If you go further back, it becomes a direct lineage in the Imperial court, the department of divinities. Shrines, priests, shrine maidens, mediating them is an old tradition of the Kouzuki house. Takakura shrine is an old one Jii-chan said.
That is why I had to act as the mediator according to the image of the late shrine maiden about me. If not, Takakura Kiyomi, who has her sister’s thoughts deeply rooted to her, won’t be as obedient as that. She testified that she didn’t use her power in me, but in fact, she did use a small amount of it, I believe. If not, I couldn’t possibly entrust the Takakura sisters to you. In short, the order was to keep the Takakura sisters in the most optimal custody. I think that’s the only command she gave me I see. If it wasn’t because of the power,
Then Jii-chan wouldn’t bring in the sisters to a place where Ruriko stays.
After all, the Yakuza’s chasing after the sisters.
However, that’s all there is to it. Perhaps, she didn’t try to control me. The reason why Takakura Kiyomi didn’t go further is that her sister’s memory has some fear towards the Kouzuki house. In other words, she’s asking for help from the past Kouzuki, our prior authority Kouzuki house used to be in charge of shrines.
Inheriting that memory from the late shrine maiden,
Kiyomi-san who has her mind overlapping with the late shrine maiden is under that impression.
Therefore, the mediation was entrusted to Jii-chan.
Meanwhile, I had to act in various ways just to match the image of that crazy woman. She probably won’t agree to anything unless I convinced her that I’m a man who holds overwhelming power. You can say that it went well for now. I succeeded in making Takakura Kiyomi commit suicide Kiyomi-san’s suicide is a success.
No, there’s no other way, it’s unavoidable.
Have you seen the international news yesterday? About Mexico
Jii-chan asks me.
What news?
A gang in Mexico attacked a hospital car and stole all the goods that were for delivery. The gang took it because they thought it was something valuable, but the contents were a mass of Cobalt 60 used for radiation therapy. It’s something where you touch for a few minutes and die due to radiation exposure. The police that they only found the empty protection case, but they found neither the gang nor the radioactive material. The gangsters maybe carrying something they don’t even know Could it be that the people who got close to the gang were exposed?
You’re correct. And the problem progresses at this moment
There are people with radioactive material loitering around Mexico.
Cobalt 60 can be re-used as a weapon. It’s the so-called dirty bomb. If used for terrorism, it will ensure thousands of victims. Therefore, even the American police in the neighboring state is desperately trying to track the gang. It would be nice if the gangs ask the authorities for recovery once they become aware of the dangers of what they’re carrying, but if they dump it illegally somewhere, or if they sold it to terrorists, it would be dreadful Yeah, that would definitely get scary. It’s a bomb.
Well, it’s a faraway country, and so we have to wait for the follow-up
As expected, Jii-chan couldn’t do anything in an incident in Mexico.
The Takakura shrine maiden case is similar to that story
Huh?
The Takakura shrine maidens are a fearsome existence that would have horrible consequences when misused. And yet, the Yakuza’s controlling and managing that dangerous existence for some reason. On top of that, they only use it for their silly game called arbitration ritual.
That’s right.
The Yakuza’s in control of the Takakura shrine, but they clearly don’t know what to do with it.
It’s basically the same as the Mexican gang who’s carrying around radioactive materials without knowing how much power it contains. Fortunately, the old Yakuza didn’t notice what could be the use of Miko power. They were only interested in the balance of their power relationship in the Yakuza world. They didn’t want a single faction standing out. They’ve only thought of coexisting until now And thus, the Arbitration ritual.
The bosses in dispute will have sex with the shrine maiden.
It’s a punishment game where they would have their minds read by the shrine maiden.
Once someone else knows their inner thoughts, they can’t act boldly with their ambition.
However, Takakura Kiyomi demonstrated how to use it. It shows how horrible it can get if one gets serious in using Miko power. This is definitely dangerous. Don’t you think so? Have you not thought of attaining heaven if you awaken the Miko power of the sisters?
That’s.
I did. I talked to Misuzu about it. Once we have the Miko power, it would be useful for Kouzuki and Kuromori house
Making it advantageous for us when negotiating with companies and foreign countries, for example.
If you could think of that, others could too. As a result, it becomes a fight for the shrine maidens. A lot of people died. And as the Japanese way of thinking, if it’s going to become a dispute, there would be ideas that it’s better to kill off the Takakura shrine maidens Jii-chan said.
The successive generations of the Takakura shrine maidens knew that if they show off how mighty their power is, then everyone in their shrine and with their blood will die. Therefore, they resigned themselves to become toys for the Yakuza. And it was the shrine maiden who has to endure all of that. The one called shrine maiden is the person recognized by the shrine. However, Takakura Kiyomi wasn’t a shrine maiden. She didn’t have the dignity as the shrine maiden, yet she confessed that she has a stronger power than her sister, the shrine maiden. Therefore, Kiyomi was getting reckless Because she wasn’t a shrine maiden,
She lacks awareness of what she has to endure when becoming a shrine maiden.
The result of her drowning in power, her sick sister, eroded Kiyomi-san’s heart.
Everything crumbles down.
Then, Takakura Kiyomi wishes for herself to be the last shrine maiden. She has inherited the desire for ruin from her sister and is trying to end the tradition of the Takakura shrine maidens. Therefore, I had to back that up. I prepared a stage where the last shrine maiden would die in front of spectators, the Yakuza who caused all the pain to the Takakura shrine. I think that she’s already emotionally dead. And this was the image that she wanted Then, why did you not let Tsukiko make contact with Kiyomi-san?
The girls just look down from the VIP room with Jii-chan.
It’s in the distance beyond Kiyomi-san’s power’s reach.
One of the reasons was not to let Takakura Kiyomi notice that Tsukiko has begun to awaken their power. If she discovers that the sisters’ power is starting to bud, Kiyomi-san might kill the sisters together with her Jii-chan said.
The other reason was the possibility that Takakura Kiyomi passes through her ill heart to the sisters, just like how her elder sister controlled Takakura Kiyomi
that’s right.
I feel sorry for the sisters. That is the reason why I didn’t let their voice reach Takakura Kiyomi
Tsukiko and the girls might speak that they’re starting to awaken their power without thinking.
Then waking up their power is my failure
Then, Minaho-neesan;
That’s wrong. Yoshinobu, Kouzuki-sama’s talking about what he just discovered. In fact; in the past few days, there’s a team making various investigations and came across the truth of the Takakura shrine maiden. It’s done from searching the ancient documents, hearing the testimony of the Yakuza who has conducted the arbitration ritual, and personal investigation of people involved with the Takakura house. And naturally, your discovery on the truth about the shrine maidens with the Takakura sisters was useful. We were able to find out the correct approach to Takakura Kiyomi because we were watching you Jii-chan didn’t know the solution from the beginning either.
They were searching for answers for the past few days.
I think you already understand but do hide the power of those girls. Make it end up looking like intuition, or charisma. If it’s found out that the Miko power still exist, their lives would be in danger
Jii-chan tells me.
Yeah, you’re right
Jii-chan told the Yakuza to forget about the Takakura shrine maiden.
The memory of it will still remain.
Tsukiko mustn’t show a glimpse of their power at all.
Learn how to use it secretly without the other party knowing
Huh?
Jii-chan, don’t you think that the Miko power should be erased instead?
Wasn’t that the conversation?
Why would you want such a convenient power gone?
Jii-chan speaks calmly.
The problem is about how you use it. We cannot show it’s existence to the world. Therefore, it can’t be a source of business. You can’t advertise it, and only evil people would target you
That’s right. That’s why instead of hiding it, how about we make it that the power isn’t used?
I won’t allow that
I don’t get it.
The Miko power is something handed down since ancient times. Do you really think that you can take it out for them?
That’s.
You may not know it, but there’s more of that in this world. These are the knowledge that has been passed down since ancient times without the public knowing. Especially in Japan. Each of them only tells their successors. Then that child will say to theirs. It is a secret that would never reach outside Secret.
Takakura shrine has become strange because of the Yakuza’s intervention halfway, but they still hold a long history with them. The Miko power can return to a secret now
If it’s appropriately hidden then it doesn’t have to disappear, is that it?
Besides, don’t you think there’s merit on using the power secretly when you’re facing a personal problem? For example, to smoothen relationships, or when you’re starting a business, you can bring them and have the other party feel pleasant with you Is it okay to do that?
If the other party doesn’t notice that you’re using their power, what problem will it create?
But, isn’t that unfair? I think it is
If you don’t want your family to starve then throw away that feeling
Jii-chan said.
Use whatever you can. Don’t you want to make your family happy? Then be greedy. If not, you won’t be able to protect your family
You’ve decided not to sympathize with people, right? The thought that this might be unfair to the other side is similar to sympathy. You’re looking down on them. You think that you’re inferior to other people, don’t you? Then get greedier!
Minaho-neesan said.
O-Okay
By the way, we have secured all of the documents of Takakura Kiyomi’s husband
That’s.
He found a method to strengthen the Miko power based on the old documents in the Takakura shrine.
But.
Didn’t she say that she burned down all of the data?
Right before Kiyomi-san died.
The original copy, she did. But her husband’s computer backed up everything. That also includes records of how it went with Kiyomi-san and the results of it
Kiyomi-san didn’t check the computer.
I’ll hand them over to you. Do whatever you want with it
Jii-chan looks at me.
Sorry to say but everything from this point onwards will be yours and for the sisters to take care. I’m too old already, I don’t think I’ll live for another ten years. I’ll leave everything that you can use behind, and I’m giving you as many options as possible. Then, it’s up to you what kind of future you want to go to We won’t take away the Miko power, nor the records of Kiyomi-san’s husband from you. We’ll hand them all over, and you can talk it out yourselves. This is for your future
I see.
The idea of It’s dangerous, and so let’s take it away is naive.
We’re already handling the dangerous goods, and so we have to think of it ourselves.
Earlier, I mentioned you to the Yakuza earlier, but someday, Kouzuki SS will be yours. Don’t let Misuzu or Ruriko get involved with the dealings behind the scenes. Talk about it with Seki-kun and Minaho-kun, and you’ll take command I.
Misuzu and Ruriko are too wise. Smart people think that their enemies are also intelligent, and so they fail. However, you saw it firsthand so you must understand it. People in this world are beyond unexpected. Most of them move out suddenly, without warning. Putting the surface aside, I think that Misuzu and Ruriko would be overthinking when it comes to this side. Therefore, you will be the pivot here I’m dumb though. Jii-chan
And that’s just perfect. You’re certainly not bright, but that also means that you don’t get caught up in your own thoughts. You listen to people’s opinions, observe them, think carefully. You reflect on your ideas. You’re the one suited for the business behind the scenes. The surface’s core is to attack, but on this side, protecting is the key. I think you’re better suited in protecting people than attacking others Jii-chan said.
Now then, it should be time for you to return to your girls. They must be feeling anxious
Oh right.
But.
Jii-chan, let me give a report first
I said.
What is it?
Yeah, I forgot about it.
I raise my right hand lightly.
Jii-chan, allow me to report. As for Tsukiko, Yomiko, and Luna, the three of them aren’t suited to become prostitutes. That’s my conclusion
Jii-chan asked me to give the Takakura sisters an aptitude test.
Actually, it possibly was just a way to get information about Tsukiko’s Miko power, but still.
Jii-chan gave me the request.
I see. Okay
Jii-chan replies, calmly.
Also, I have a request, Jii-chan
What is it?
Give the sisters, Tsukiko, Yomiko, and Luna, to me. I’ll make them happy as my woman! That’s why!
Okay
Jii-chan’s looking displeased all this time, but
He laughed.
That’s what I like about you. I like how you keep your thoughts in order
Huh?
Naturally, you can have the sisters. Or should I say that only you can stabilize their condition? By the way, did you forget about something?
what?
You’ll be taking another one along with the sisters. That is Takakura Kiyomi’s daughter
Ah.
Koyomi-san is 12-years old. She’s under our protection in Kyoto, and is now heading towards Tokyo
She’s at the same age as Luna.
From Kiyomi’s statement, it seems that she has started her training to become a shrine maiden. As expected, I think you should manage her together with the sisters
I see.
It’s better to have her life together with her cousin, Tsukiko and the girls.
Take care of them. Nee-san won’t be helping you in that regard
Minaho-neesan says as if I picked up a puppy.
Yeah. It’s okay, I’ll look after them
I replied.
You’ve stopped your I’ll have to do my best alone
Yeah, I was made aware of it. I’m not that strong, but my family is amazing. Everyone was there for Tsukiko and the two, and that’s why they opened up their hearts to us
It wasn’t me.
Luna had Agnes.
Yomiko had Michi.
Tsukiko had Misuzu taking care of her.
I’m impressed
Jii-chan smiles.
No, it’s about Ruriko and Misuzu. I thought that those girls would drown in having sex with you and they’ll lose elegance. I’ve seen such women in my times after all. Especially women coming from a good family, they turn undisciplined after drowning in sex. They’ve lost their elegance I see.
However, Misuzu and Ruriko, I don’t know how they look like when they’re with you but when they’re with me, or in public, they keep their dignity. They don’t look some woman that’s used to sex. It seems that the people surrounding them still believe that they’re virgins. In fact, even I feel that they still have their virgin spirit with them The two of them have opened up to Yoshinobu, but they have not lost their vigilance to other men. Their only target for sex is Yoshinobu, and they don’t imagine having sex with other men at all
Minaho-neesan comments.
No, it’s not because of me. That’s also because of the family
I think.
Misuzu and Ruriko are also elder sisters and little sisters in the family. They don’t think for themselves but for everyone in the family. That is why they maintain their crisp thoughts
Umu, indeed, the livelihood in Kuromori house has made a good influence on Ruriko
Jii-chan agrees.
Oh right.
By the way, Jii-chan, I’ve got a suggestion
I think that’s an excellent chance to cut to this topic.
Jii-chan, how about you start living together with us too?
Chapter 741
Jii-chan, how about you start living together with us too?
I asked Jii-chan.
I knew that you’d make that suggestion from the conversation
Minaho-neesan has been monitoring all our conversations.
It wouldn’t be strange that Minaho-neesan already made a report to Jii-chan.
No, not to offend you but Minaho-kun has regularly reported all Misuzu and Ruriko’s conversations with you for the past four months
Jii-chan said.
After all, it’s an old man’s concern. I think of what kind of life Ruriko’s having in your house if she’s not troubled by anything, and such. I want to check on that constantly
Jii-chan’s love for his granddaughters is endlessly deep and distorted.
Especially in sex
Jii-chan speaks with a slightly apologetic face.
I’ve been worried that Ruriko would get used to sex and get bored with you. Well, that was needless anxiety. Ruriko seems to enjoy having sex with you. She’s always showing a cheerful smile of a little girl
Err.
You’re watching us have sex regularly?
No, he’s watching all of the times you had sex with Ruriko-sama. As for Ruriko-sama, he does it periodically
Minaho-neesan said.
Well, I’d like to check on Ruriko’s health, like the luster of her skin for example
Jii-chan’s first love’s appearance is passed to Ruriko, and so he loves her.
I don’t mind. It’s Jii-chan anyway. I mean, knowing that I live in that mansion, I’m already used to people watching us
It’s already a norm for us to take photos, videos, and such.
However, Ruriko might not like me watching her
Hmm, well.
I think she won’t like that you’re spying on her.
But, we told her from the start that Jii-chan will be looking at it and Ruriko’s okay with it. She loves filming while having sex after all
Ruriko’s hobby is filming our sex.
I mean, if you come live with us, you can watch all the time. Ruriko’s first experience was in front of Jii-chan after all. I think that she’d be happy to show off how she does sex to Jii-chan
I said. Jii-chan.
It still makes me nervous. I feel at ease when watching the video alone
Didn’t you watch Ruriko’s first time like a child’s first time watching porn?
That’s a special case. That was Ruriko’s one in a lifetime experience. Yoshiko and I were included in her memory of it. I don’t mind that
I don’t get it.
I prefer only stealing a glance on a lover’s sexual intercourse. Besides, watching it happen right before my eyes will only make you feel sad
Is that so?
Either way, I cannot live together with you
Why? It’s fun living in our house though, Jii-chan. There’s also Mao-chan and Agnes. It’s filled with cheerful and cute girls. I’m sure that they’ll let you join in the bath too
That looks fun
Jii-chan smiles wryly.
However, I cannot live together with you
Why?
I cannot leave my house after all
Why?
Is that a problem with security?
That’s one factor. But, you know that if I live in your house, the security will become too strict
Oh, that’s how it was yesterday.
Kouzuki SS surrounded our mansion.
But if that’s the case, Jii-chan can stay over our mansion and ask Shou-neechan and place guards around
It’s temporary, so it will be hard.
Kuromori owns all of the houses around the mansion.
If they want, they could build houses or buildings for guards.
No, not that. The problem isn’t with me, but with you guys
Us?
If I settle in your mansion, you will be included as targets. Too many children go to school on your side. Do you mind putting them all in danger?
Jii-chan stares at me.
If it’s about security then it should be enough, Michi’s with Ruriko and Misuzu. We have Edie on our side. Shou-neechan and Rei-chan are checking on us all the time
The Takakura sisters, Mana, and Agnes still have to attend school too.
We have to manage to keep this state.
I have no choice but to ask Jii-chan to transfer the girls to the super-ojou-sama school which Misuzu, Ruriko, and Michi attends.
Even so, the danger of living together with the head of Kouzuki house is different. Even today, I’ve incurred someone’s enmity
Jii-chan said.
The old men from earlier said that they’d follow what I told them, but on the inside, they hate me. If I show them an opportunity, they will come attacking behind the shadows. They’re the Yakuza after all. Therefore, I’ve already prepared countermeasures. We will be attacking their work in the surface before they could return to Kansai. Their business won’t be able to go anywhere without my help after this. They will bow their heads to me once again, and that will tighten up the reins. The Yakuza comes biting back at you unless you make them surrender completely Jii-chan doesn’t think that this much threat would be enough.
He never looks down on people.
That’s.
I’m glad that you think of me as your family. However, my family is not just your group
Jii-chan smiles.
I’m still the head of Kouzuki house. You should know that Kouzuki house multiple branch families, don’t you? Kouzuki has various companies at hand, and we also have employees. Shiba-kun will be the manager soon, but I’m still the head of the family. I can’t quit being the representative Head of the family.
As the head of Kouzuki house, I must live in the house designated for me. Otherwise, the people below would worry. Even if I bought the Kuromori house, I wouldn’t be able to live in there. That mansion has the smell of the brothel remaining in it. The place I’m staying right now was bought during the Meiji era when the noble, Kouzuki house came to Tokyo. Fortunately, it was spared from the war damage, but it was difficult to live in the old mansion built in the Meiji era. I hardly use it now. I’m living in a separate wing built after the war. But either way, it definitely has the history of Kouzuki house ingrained in it. The memories of people who served the Kouzuki house, not just me but my father and my grandfather is engraved in there House.
It’s a house where lots of memories influenced it.
I can’t imagine that.
I don’t think I should leave that house as I am the head. Well, that’s just my selfish thought. I don’t intend to force that belief to Misuzu, Ruriko, or Yoshiko. I don’t mind if those girls destroy the house after my death. However, as long as I’m the head of Kouzuki house, I believe that I should live in there Jii-chan shows a gentle smile.
Branch families and executives come to give me a courtesy call, politicians and bureaucrats crying. Sometimes, a newspaper reporter chasing after me. They all think that my mansion is the house of the head of Kouzuki clan. There’s still those who dream that they might be able to escape a problematic situation by visiting that mansion and consulting with me. I don’t think Kuromori’s mansion can create a stage where one dreams that they could turn things around Even if it’s a big-shot from an enterprise somewhere.
Even if it’s a key figure in the government.
They come to Jii-chan to ask for his favor.
Yeah, it would be hard for them to come if he’s living in the former brothel, the Kuromori Mansion.
It has to be the mansion from the Meiji era that Kouzuki house owns.
Well, since you’re giving me that offer, I’ll visit Kuromori house once in a month. I could stay over for one night at least. However, my house will still be the Kouzuki mansion. I don’t plan on transferring away from there Jii-chan makes it clear.
If that’s the case.
Is the bath in Jii-chan’s house big?
I asked.
You?
If you’re coming to play in our mansion once a month, we’ll go there instead. We’ll take our girls there. Do you mind?
that’s
Naturally, Ruriko’s also coming. Anyway, I don’t think that it’s healthy to have only Jii-chan, Yoshiko-san, and the caretakers in that big mansion of yours
Yoshiko wishes to live together with Ruriko in the Kuromori house, but
I mean, Misuzu, Ruriko, and Yoshiko-san can live in both the Kuromori and Kouzuki mansions. For example, splitting each week. We can discuss that part later. Then, I’ll bring them along with me. This is to make sure that Jii-chan’s not lonely No, you mustn’t, Ruriko’s yours
Jii-chan’s still bothered by it.
Ruriko belongs to herself. She’s not mine, nor Jii-chan’s
I said.
That’s why I’m saying it now, I’ll have to discuss it with Misuzu, Ruriko, and Yoshiko-san once we go back home, but we’ll think of how to prevent Jii-chan from feeling lonely, get it?
umu
Jii-chan groans.
Kouzuki-sama, Misuzu-sama, Ruriko-sama, and Yoshiko-sama are all your granddaughters. It’s not strange if they live in the Kouzuki mansion. Yoshinobu is Kuromori Kou in public, and she’s Misuzu-sama’s fiance. It won’t be odd if he comes and goes. Our girls are friends of Misuzu-sama and Ruriko-sama, don’t you think it’s okay for them to stay over the Kouzuki mansion? Naturally, Katsuko, Nagisa, Margo, and I won’t go to Kouzuki mansion. If that’s the case. No, that’s all up to Kouzuki-sama’s decision in the end Minaho-neesan assists me.
As people involved in the brothel, Minaho-neesan can’t really show up going in and out of Kouzuki mansion.
But we’re students, we can fool people about our identities.
I understand. I’ll consider it. However, talk it out with Misuzu and the girls first. Especially Ruriko. Maybe she doesn’t like to live in the same house with me
That’s not true. Ruriko respects her grandfather
She doesn’t look at you as a man, though.
She only loves you as a grandfather.
I have to the point that out.
Right. She’s a kind girl
Jii-chan speaks in a slightly sad tone.
We greeted goodbye to Jii-chan and left the room.
We enter the glass-walled VIP room.
Everyone’s waiting on that room over there
Rei-chan’s waiting for us with a smile.
This room gives too much view
Yeah, the lights below are already turned off, but still,
I don’t think it’s mentally pleasant for the sisters to look down on where Takakura Kiyomi died.
Minaho-oneesama, Shou-oneesama seems like she wants to talk to you
Rei-chan talks to Minaho-neesan.
What is it about?
It’s about checking the reaction of the Kansai Yakuza
Oh, the bosses who were witnesses to the deal has to announce the results
Oodori, Satake, and Jii-chan, the three of them conducted the deal, and so everyone involved were called to Tokyo,
Then, the outcome is Oodori and Satake disposed of in the dark.
That includes all of Oodori and Satake’s subordinates present in the meeting.
This is inevitable to protect the secrecy of the Takakura shrine maiden, but,
Most of the Yakuza won’t agree with it.
Worst case scenario, chief Yazawa’s gonna call for the agents he left in Kansai, but it’s better to know the minute details before anything
Okay, I have some old customers from the Kansai region, I’ll be asking them about the situation
Without those guys, Oodori and Satake sent out to Tokyo,
They won’t know that the Takakura sisters escaped to the Kuromori mansion.
Those who came to Tokyo are being defeated, and so,
They won’t think of talking about what happened in Tokyo other than the members of the same organization.
Thank you
Rei-chan bows her head to Minaho-neesan.
Yoshinobu, you tell everyone what Kouzuki-sama said
Minaho-neesan.
This will be the last time I’ll be working behind the scenes. Talk it out yourselves, think about it, and consult each other
Yeah. I got it
I replied.
Ah, you’re back
Margo-san smiles wryly after seeing me enter the room.
There are folding desk and chairs lined up here, I think this is where the Kouzuki SS guards stay on standby.
She’s drinking tea on a paper cup.
What’s up, Yo-chan?
Nei smiles and asks me on behalf of the worried-looking Takakura sisters.
No problems. There’s no need to worry now. Tsukiko, Yomiko, and Luna can stay over with us
Kyaa! Yomiko and Luna are happy.
Tsukiko.
I would still like to return to the Takakura shrine as discussed earlier however
Err.
Give me a second, okay? I’ll talk about what happened first.
I tell them what we’ve discussed.
About Takakura Kiyomi possessed by Tsukiko’s mother’s dark thoughts.
That’s why Jii-chan didn’t let Tsukiko get close to Kiyomi-san.
It is to hide the fact that Kiyomi-san is no longer the last Miko power user.
That the ancient documents and the research on how to strengthen Kiyomi-san’s power is still intact.
Anyway, the Yakuza can’t come close to the Takakura shrine from today onwards, and Jii-chan promised that Takakura shrine will have a fresh start as an ordinary shrine, and those people promised as well
The witnesses who came from Kansai has promised Jii-chan.
But, a Yakuza’s promise is something you’d take with a grain of salt
Nei looks at me.
Yeah. That’s why Shou-neechan and everyone’s looking into it. And so, I don’t think you can return to the Takakura shrine right away. You’ll have to stay with us for a while. I mean,
I speak to Tsukiko.
You promised not to leave until you get pregnant
Yes, Kou-sama
Tsukiko blushed.
But, even if they are to stay with us for long, their personal belongings are still left in the shrine, and so they have to take it, right? If you want, I can come along
Margo-san said.
However, you can’t go anywhere but your personal living space
Why?
Yomiko asks, looking puzzled.
From what I heard earlier, your mother, who lives in the main shrine, has amassed her dark thoughts. We can’t let you pulled in by a dead person
I feel sorry for Aunt
Tsukiko mutters.
Oh, by the way. Kiyomi-san’s daughter, was it Koyomi? She’ll also stay with us
I remembered.
Huh, Koyomi-chan’s coming?
Luna looks happy.
Luna, don’t be too happy, Koyomi-san also lost her parents
Kiyomi-san killed her husband, then herself.
She’s under Kouzuki SS’ protection by now, She’s coming our way at this moment if I recall
I tell them.
How old is that girl?
Edie asks.
It’s the same age as Luna
Okay, must be hard for Darling
Huh, what?
I mean, you’re going to take another young girl’s virginity
Huh?
No, Edie, I needed to have sex with these three because we were investigating about the Miko power, but
The research is over.
I don’t think there’s a need to force to have sex with that girl, Koyomi-chan
I don’t think so.
Master, she already started her training to become a shrine maiden, hasn’t she?
Michi asks.
Yeah. Kiyomi-san did say that.
Nei.
If I recall, just a bit? Kiyomi-san said that her husband started training their daughter, but she stopped it
Tsukiko sighed.
We need to check how far has she gone
Yeah, even the memory of her training has disappeared, her mind and body might still have traces of it
Kiyomi-san might not even have erased all of it in that state of hers
Tsukiko, Yomiko, and Luna said.
So what do we do in that case?
I ask them timidly.
In my personal experience, if Koyomi-san is in an unstable state, then I think that she needs to have sex with Kou-sama
Yomi thinks so too
Me too
I knew it,
Give it up, Yo-chan! There’s one or two more won’t make a difference now!
Nei pats my back.
You’re right. Agnes would be happy that her friends’ increases
Edie’s laughing.
Although, that would also increase Megumi-oneesama’s anger
Michi.
Don’t say that.
Oh right.
What’s the time by the way?
I asked.
05:07 PM
Nei looked at her wristwatch and said.
We’ve got to pick Megumi-chan up
Margo-san smiled.
We told her that she can’t leave the school until someone comes and pick her up
There’s the likelihood of the Yakuza chasing after her this morning.
We had Megu follow that appointment.
Then, let’s go. If we drive off right now, we can reach the school by 6, right?
Nei said.
But, what about the car?
We came here in three cars.
Shou-neechan, Rei-chan, and Margo-san were the drivers.
We can leave Minaho to Shou-oneesan for now
Margo-san said.
They seem to be stuck working in Kouzuki SS for now. She can’t fight, but she’s great at processing information. That’s Minaho’s talent
Analyzing the situation with the Kansai Yakuza will take the time it seems.
But even if Margo-san’s driving,
Margo-san, Nei, Michi, Edie, Takakura sisters, and me.
I don’t think we would fit.
Oh, now that I thought about it.
What about Kudou Haruka?
She went with her brother and carried their mother, but,
Thinking about it now, Haruka left at the best timing.
If she stayed in and heard about the Miko power,
We also have to think of how we deal with Haruka.
It looks like she’s transported to a nearby hospital, away from the Yakuza. Also, Master
Michi looks down.
Yeah, I get it. You want to check on them?
Michi took her down after all. I get that she’s worried.
Yes, I’m very sorry
I’m coming with you
Nei gently hugs Michi’s shoulders.
If she says anything cruel to Mitchan, then I’m going to bonk their heads!
She smiled.
It should be okay with these two.
Oh, Taki-san’s coming too by the way
Nei whispers to me.
Since Haruka’s brother is a senior member in Kouzuki SS, she won’t do anything strange.right?
But, Haruka’s Haruka.
Well, we’ll be going to the hospital, and talk about the contract with Haruka-chi
Huh, what contract, Ya-chan?
Nei smiles.
You know? The one we discussed with Takasaki Ichiro
Takasaki? Oh, one of Oodori’s four devas.
If I recall, he’s an influential man in Japan’s martial arts business.
When starting up our business, Margo-oneechan and Edie-chan won’t be enough, see? That’s why we will include her
Huh? Wait, that was serious?
Are we going to bring Haruka to a martial arts ring?
Yeah, super serious!
Takasaki-san took the bait too hard and so I think it will go well. The high school Karate champion is something people can create stories on
Margo-san smiles.
She has a lot of facial expressions, I think she’d be popular even if she wins or lose
No, but,
All I can imagine is Haruka screaming I’m so frustrateedd! when she loses a match in the stage.
Oh well, I think that would make her famous.
That girl is a pure athlete after all. This is much better than her wanting to become a professional in Kouzuki SS
And that’s why, this cute manager, Nei-chan, will persuade her to join the martial arts industry!
Nei smiles cheerfully.
Chapter 742
Well then, we can’t return without borrowing a car
Margo-san said after Nei and Michi left.
The remaining people are Margo-san, Edie, the Takakura sisters, and me.
There’s six of us.
I think we should leave Minaho’s Benz here. Besides, we can’t fit six people there
We came here with Shou-neechan’s usual American car, Kouzuki SS’ Benz, and Minaho-neesan’s Benz.
I think Shou-oneesan or Reika-oneesan will send us off, but Minaho also have to pick up Nei and Michi
Margo-san’s right.
Give me a second, I’ll go borrow a car for us
Margo-san leaves the room and talks to the guard waiting outside.
Minaho-neesan and Shou-neechan are investigating and discussing the aftermath of this incident.
Kouzuki-ojiichan’s going to move after it’s confirmed that the Yakuza’s gone from the hotel and the surroundings. And that’s why he’ll stay here for a while, I believe
Edie said.
In the paper, the Kansai Yakuza’s defeated, but,
They’re likely to conduct a surprise attack if we loosen our guard.
The other party is the Yakuza after all.
Thank you for everything
Tsukiko tells me suddenly.
It seems that she finds it easy to talk now that Nei and Margo-san are away.
I didn’t do anything
That’s right.
In the end.
I didn’t do anything this time.
No.
Even my thoughts on what I could’ve done was shallow.
Jii-chan and Minaho-neesan reminded me that.
I was placed on the same floor as the Yakuza to grant me the awareness of danger, I think.
Instead of being together with Jii-chan and Tsukiko on the glass-walled VIP room from up above,
It was to make me feel the screams of Yamaoka and Haruka’s mother, to breathe the same air and feel the craziness of Takakura Kiyomi.
Shou-neechan and the Kouzuki SS guards were there, and of course, Margo, Michi, and Edie, and maybe even Nei were there to protect me.
I might not be left alive in that room if it wasn’t for their protection.
That fact is etched in my mind.
No, Kou-sama came with us, that made us feel at ease
Me too, Sensei
Me too, Nii-san
The Takakura sisters tell me.
We knew that Kou-sama and everyone is in there
That’s why we endured it
If not, we might’ve gone crazy from listening to Kiyomi-san’s story
The aunt they trusted, killed their parents.
We saw not just Nii-san, but Michi-oneechan, Edie-chan, Nei-oneesan. That’s why we endured it
We know that we’re not alone
Yes. Everyone came with us sisters to a dangerous place after all
Luna, Yomiko, Tsukiko.
Darling, it’s not about what you can do for others but how the network of people feels
Edie said.
Recently, our family has begun to move organically. Each of us shares our own interests, and help out each other
But, that’s not because of me, that’s thanks to everyone
They’re not like me.
They’re smart, skilled, talented.
That’s right. But, Darling’s the heart of this family. That’s why Darling can just stand firm. Either way, we’ll be the ones to take care of the troublesome stuff
Edie said, but still,
The alpha male lion doesn’t need to do anything. All he does is to keep the peace between the group. If the center looks helpless, then it troubles everyone
Edie.
I love you, Darling. It’s okay, nobody will leave your side, they can’t. Therefore, you don’t have to be afraid
Edie hugs me tightly.
You should rely on us more, and even if you don’t, we’ll start moving on our own. It’s not just you, Darling, we also treasure this family.
Edie’s words seep through my skin and to my heart.
I.
Was I rushing?
Was I scared?
I thought that I should always take the lead for this family.
Geez, Sensei! How long are you going to make that face for?
Yomiko said.
It’s okay, it’s not just Tsukiko-oneesama but also Yomi. Yomi will bear Sensei’s child too! Yomi is your pregnant slave!
Ah, me too. But not right away
Luna too.
This is Kou-sama’s power, you made us your family in just one day
Tsukiko.
That’s wrong. It’s not made, but became Darling didn’t just accept Tsukiko, Yomiko, and Luna, but also changed your heart. You get it, don’t you? It’s amazing. Only darling can do that!
That’s right. It’s wrong to say that you didn’t do anything, Kou-sama
Tsukiko smiles at me.
Yomiko, Luna, and Edie too.
Please take care of me
Please love Yomi okay?
Me too! Me too! Nii-san
That includes me as well!
Then.
What’s this I hear? If we’re talking about that, please take care of me for the years to come as well
Rei-chan comes in from the corridor.
She’s with Margo-san.
I didn’t get my turn at all today
Though she speaks like she’s disappointed, Rei-chan’s smiling.
It can’t be helped. Kouzuki SS can’t show their ace in front of the Yakuza after all
Margo-san follows up.
Reika-oneesan won’t lose to those people, but if you were to appear there, they might try to push their luck
I think Michi’s whip lashed on them was just right
It’s a middle school girl who took down a lot of Yakuza.
If Reika-oneesan comes out to a location that’s not a promotion activity for Kyouko-san then it will become a serious fight with the Kouzuki SS
Margo-san said.
But, I wanted to move my body for a bit
Oh, I see, then I’ll send Kyoko-san a mail. Rei-chan wants to rampage soon
No, not that
Rei-chan looks troubled.
Reika, you don’t like it?
Not really, but I just want to join in with the fun for a bit
If I recall, Kyouko-san said that you’ll fight Nikita-san in maid clothing
Margo-san grins.
What?
I mean, both allies and enemies would wear maid clothing. The location would be in Sendai. I think it would suit Nikita-san, but I wonder about the minions
Could it be that Barbie-san and Ruby-san are going to wear maid clothing too?
that’s a problem!
Rei-chan tries to refuse desperately, but,
If that’s the case, you will be fighting Kyouko-san wearing a mascot character costume
What?
You see, Kyouko-san said that she wants to eat the Sendai salty beef tongue after a long time not eating one. But you see, in terms of ratings, Reika-oneesan vs. Nikita-san has higher popularity than Kyouko-san. You can’t show off the big boss, Kyouko-san, in Japan that much either. Kyouko-san’s planning to have Reika-oneesan wear a Kimono on the big project in the New Year’s program she calls A new year hidden arts explosion parade, Chiki Chiki Kyouko Castle, 1 Million yen fighting hunger opportunity or something I don’t know about that
Yeah, she just told me about it. Also, Kyouko-san has a plan of sending her subordinates one by one while you’re traveling over the US. And it’s called Ultra Street Fighter comedy, Reika, across America The final stage is a fight with Kyouko-san on top the Statue of Liberty On top of the statue of liberty?
Oh, but before that, you need to fly from America to India and have a match against Dhalsim
Darushimu? What?
Rei-chan asks dumbfoundedly.
Dhalsim. Dhalsim’s the son, Gille’s the daughter, and Chris is a penpal
O-Okay
As always, Rei-chan’s nature is to be overserious.
Rei-chan, Margo-san’s joking. If you take that seriously, she’ll just find it funny, and she’ll continue to add more stories, don’t mind it
I said.
But your involvement with Kyouko-san is never a joke. Last time, a man who seems to be Nikita-san’s subordinate suddenly appears while taking a kung-fu pose, and shouted The Komodo Dragon has come back! Patalio Lee is my name! So I thought, who’s that guy? I don’t get what he was talking about, so I knocked him out with my cane Sorry, Kyouko-san’s hobbies are too old already that even I don’t get it sometimes. I think Nei knows more about it
Okay. Anyway, I try to end things I don’t understand in one hit. They’re too noisy if you don’t knock them out after all
You’re right. Just the other day, there was that one guy who keeps shouting HEY SAY! HEISEI! HEY SAY! HEISEI and his face is covered by a screen, I didn’t get it
Speaking of which, I refused the plans that include me wearing costumes that exposes my skin
Oh that one, Kyouko-san said that Reika’s connected, it’s Gyaru Time. I didn’t know that it was Nei’s idea
What is Gyaru Time?
Kyouko-san does as she pleases, doesn’t she?
Well, we can have that conversation next time, Megumi-chan’s waiting for us
Margo-san ends the talk.
Shou-oneesama and I still have to watch over until Kakka gets home and so we have to be present during the withdrawal. I don’t think I can stay in the mansion tonight, but I’ll be sure to come tomorrow
Then, Rei-chan looks at me.
Tomorrow night is my time after all
Oh, it’s Rei-chan’s turn tomorrow night.
Please take care of me
Yeah got it
I replied with a smile.
I’ll do my best in sex.
That’s all I can do after all.
Please don’t think that way
Tsukiko.
Kou-sama, you must enjoy it. It’s you who taught me that having sex is fun
Tsukiko reads my mind.
Reika, who would you be calling as guests?
Edie asks.
My women have the right to call for other women at their time.
I thought that it’s been a while since it was just the two of us, but my little sisters have increased, haven’t they? I’ll think about it
Rei-chan said and smiled.
Rei-chan’s happy when the family increases, especially when it’s little sisters.
Therefore, she loves calling her little sisters to sex.
But, Rei-chan,
She likes to call me Onii-chama and act spoiled when we’re together.
Nei’s like that too, but when we’re alone, her character’s completely different.
That’s for tomorrow then. We should be going. Reika-oneesan, thanks a lot
Margo-san shows the car keys.
Oh, Rei-chan brought the key to the Kouzuki SS car herself.
Thanks, Rei-chan
Thank you
Edie and I gave our thanks.
It’s okay. I wanted to see everyone before you go anyway, take care
Rei-chan doesn’t show the face of the strongest swordswoman holding a cane,
But instead, she sends us off, her family, with a smile.
Third floor basement. Our car’s not parked in the hidden parking lot but in the regular one. It’s a car reserved for mobile guards of Kouzuki SS
Margo-san says while inside the elevator.
Yeah, you can’t dispatch cars if you’re hiding it inside the wall.
Spare vehicles are prepared in the general parking lot, so they could move in case of an emergency situation.
Looks like we can get off there with this elevator
Margo-san said, Tsukiko.
That’s great. Walking around the lobby on the ground floor sounds.
Yeah, I was nervous back then, but now it’s embarrassing
Luna looked at her clothes and said.
The three are still wearing shrine maiden clothing.
I want to go back and change clothes as soon as possible
Indeed. I don’t want to wear shrine maiden clothing for a while
Luna said. Yomiko replies.
The two of them have given up on living as the shrine maiden already.
Tsukiko, who intends to return to Kyoto and stay on the shrine is silent.
Sensei, want to have sex after we undress this?
Yomiko hugs me.
She’s pushing her loli tits on me.
Doesn’t it still hurt?
It does, but I don’t mind. I feel at ease when Sensei’s penis is inside of me
Luna wants to do it too
These two.
They didn’t turn to perverts nor awakened to sex.
They’re uneasy.
They found the truth about the Miko power, the truth about their parents’ death, and saw Kiyomi-san die.
You don’t have to rush that much you know? We will be receiving Kou-sama’s love for longer than you know
Tsukiko, the elder sister said.
We’ve monopolized Kou-sama for two days already. I feel sorry for everyone if we go further than this
Oh right. Everyone in that mansion is worried about us too
Yomiko said. I
Don’t say That mansion, That is our home
Yomiko.
Yes. Everyone’s waiting for us
Kou-sama. Please don’t mind us tonight, please give priority to Misuzu-sama and the others
Tsukiko bows her head.
Yeah, play with Agnes-chan and Mao-chan instead of Luna
Luna said.
No, no, Luna, Agnes aside, Mao-chan can’t have sex yet!
Edie smiles wryly.
Oh, right!
We laugh together in the elevator.
Putting that aside, let’s get in the bath together. Mao-chan can participate if it’s just that.
Yeah, Yomi and Luna will wash Mao-chan!
Yeah, we’ll do that Nii-san
Then, the elevator arrives on the third-floor underground parking lot.
This way
Margo-san looks at the note Rei-chan gave her and guided us.
Then.
Huh?
Luna stopped first.
Yes, this is no good
Tsukiko said.
Yeah, back off everyone
Lastly, Edie felt some presence.
Who is it? It’s a problem if you don’t show up!
Margo-san shouts towards the presence.
I finally found you
That’s.
Andou Kuzawa.
Yesterday, his looks and hairstyle looked clean, but now,
His clothes are worn out, and his hair is disheveled.
It’s my first time meeting you though, does anyone know him?
Margo-san asks us.
Err, he’s one of the Yakuza under Oodori’s leadership
I replied.
He’s a guard in Takakura shrine, and so he’s familiar with Tsukiko and the two. That’s why he was sent to Tokyo yesterday, he’s a member of the advance party, but
Shou-neechan already destroyed most of the advance party.
Oh, I see. He’s not a recent subordinate of Oodori, and so he wasn’t called to the venue earlier
Yeah, I didn’t see Andou’s face earlier.
Even before that, he wasn’t even on the floor where the four devas were waiting, right? I think they’re still there
Margo-san smiles.
i’m no longer a member of Kansai Raijin Houkai!
Andou speaks in a loathsome tone.
Then, what is an end member of the lower branch wants from us?
Margo-san says while measuring the distance between them.
I think you already heard it, but the deal between Kouzuki-san and the Kansai Yakuza is already over. Shouldn’t you be riding the train to go back home in Kansai?
Then, Andou.
Don’t fuck with me!
His scream echoes in the underground parking lot.
Just what the hell happened? Both boss Oodori and that bastard Satake are to be disposed of, just what the hell happened? I mean, even all of Oodori’s fellow bosses were beaten up? What the hell?
That’s.
This is bullshit! That’s not even a deal! What do you think of the lives of us Yakuza?
Margo-san calms down.
I wonder? You won’t get anything from complaining to us. Why don’t you ask Kouzuki house or Kouzuki SS instead?
What did you say?
I’m not in a position to answer those questions of yours
Andou.
If that’s the case, hand over Tsukiko-ojousan to me!
What if that’s the case?
I’ll take Tsukiko-ojousan with me and talk to the boss of Kouzuki directly! This is all strange! This shouldn’t have happened!
His blood’s rising up in his head.
I wonder about that. Even if you take these girls as a hostage, Kouzuki-san won’t grant you an audience though
Margo-san speaks to explore further.
I won’t know until I try it!
Andou looks at Tsukiko with bloodshot eyes.
Bastards, I won’t hand over Tsukiko-ojousan to people with a rotten personality like you! I’ll take them away and run from here
run?
Come over Ojou-san!
Andou tries to reach out for Tsukiko.
Tsukiko shakes her head.
No, Andou-san, we won’t come with you
what are you talking about? I’m taking you home? Back to the Takakura shrine!
Andou desperately tries to convince Tsukiko, but
No, not with you, Andou-san
Tsukiko cuddles with me.
Ojou, what?
I already am his woman
woman?
Yes, he made me a woman. I gave my heart and purity to him
Andou snapped.
Bastard, I’ll kill you!
At that moment, Edie’s kick hits Andou’s back.
Guee!
Edie erased her presence and went behind his back while Margo-san distracted him.
Guguee! Gagegegegege!
Edie kicks on Andou’s abdomen multiple times, but.
He’s tough!
Andou’s muscular body doesn’t faint from the attacks.
If that’s the case!
Edie accumulates her Qi.
Please wait
Tsukiko stopped Edie.
I won’t accept this. I’ll never
Andou holds down his abdomen and screams while lying down on the concrete floor.
I don’t care if it’s Kouzuki house or whatever! You’re all looking down on me! Do you think that the Yakuza’s just an insect? You believe that you can use your power to crush us down like cockroaches! Don’t fuck with us! Don’t fuck with us! Don’t fuck with us!
I see.
The opinion of the Kansai Yakuza on the bottom pile for this case,
It’s something like this.
Even though they went to Tokyo to make a deal,
They were crushed down with overwhelming power.
It’s not just honor that’s lost, Oodori, Satake, and the subordinates present would lose their lives as well.
Jii-chan declared that the Yakuza itself needs purging.
And yet, the five of the big-shots,
They had no choice but to yield to Jii-chan.
They followed Jii-chan’s orders.
Do you think you can do anything with that huge power? Huh? Do you think you can step down on us like that? You don’t care about people like us! Kouzuki you bastard!
Andou screams while spitting blood from his mouth.
Jii-chan’s going to fight this sort of hatred after this.
That’s the reason why he can’t live with us.
If you weren’t a Yakuza but an ordinary citizen, then I think you’d understand why
Margo-san said.
It’s funny to hear a Yakuza who thinks that power is everything, who holds down people using their power. Don’t you solve your problems with power in your world?
What did you say?
If you’re complaining about losing to some power, then come back with more!
Kuromori has hypothesized the time when Jii-chan would become hostile to us.
Escape from Japan, live to a place where Kouzuki house can’t afford.
We won’t yield to its power.
If we’re to succumb, we will escape instead.
After all, we all are.
That’s because we’re people who once suffered from someone’s malice.
As if you understand how I feel? Do you know how someone who’s trampled feels?
.I
Yeah, I know. I know how it feels to be trampled down
I said.
We also are fighting every day. We fight for our survival. Me, you, Kouzuki Jii-chan. We’re nothing different, we keep on fighting every day
What can a rich young man like you know?
Andou won’t understand.
There’s no need to speak to him then.
I’m going to expose everything! To newspapers, mass media! I’ll tell the police! I’ll show all of the wounds you’ve caused! I’m going to write about you on the internet!
That kind of wriggling around sounds very Yakuza, but it’s pathetic
Margo-san sighs.
Should we kill him?
I asked.
Please wait
Tsukiko tells me.
Then, she takes out a handkerchief from her shrine maiden clothes with a nostalgic look and goes to Andou.
Huh, Tsukiko?
It should be okay, Darling
Edie tells the worried me.
tsukiko, ojou?
Out of surprise, Andou kneels.
Tsukiko wipes off the bloodstains on Andou’s face with her handkerchief.
Ojou, I
You don’t have to say anything Andou-san
Tsukiko’s finger pokes Andou’s cheek.
Thank you. Goodbye
Huh?
Then, Andou fell silent.
I’ve erased your memory Andou-san, you won’t remember us sisters anymore
I see. Tsukiko,
She kept charging up her Miko power in case this moment happens.
She used her power to erase Andou’s memory.
Farewell, Andou-san
Tsukiko stares at the handkerchief stained with Andou’s blood.
Memories of that first love.
All that remains is a handkerchief.
Yesterday, that handkerchief.
It was gone before I realized.
Now it’s a distant love.
I will never see it again
Tsukiko mutters.
What is that?
I asked, Margo-san
A poem
It’s a poem written by Anatole France 1
Edie told me.
May we never meet again
Tsukiko said, and threw the handkerchief on the floor.
Then.
Let’s go. Kou-sama
She looked at me.
Chapter 743
Kouzuki SS lent us an 8-seater minivan.
The color is metallic green.
Well, it’s a car that needs to drive around the town without standing out anyway.
With the six of us, even if we pick up Megu from the school, we still have enough space.
You guys can take a nap. You haven’t slept that well since yesterday, haven’t you?
Margo-san says while tightening the driver’s seatbelt.
Kou-sama, you can sit in between Yomiko and Luna in the last row
Tsukiko said, but I don’t feel like sitting in between two girls right now.
Sit together with the two, I’m going in the passenger seat
You can touch us and take our clothes off. Sensei
Yomiko puffs her chest and emphasizes her prided loli big tits.
Luna, I just had sex inside the car earlier today! It was fun! You know how the car spring shakes us up? We were parked in the garage back then, but from what I heard from Misuzu-oneesama, it seems to be fun when the car’s running around!
Err.
Yomiko-oneesama that looks fun but let’s leave that for next time. It seems that this car can get you nauseated
Luna seems to be reading my mind.
As expected, I don’t think my stamina could keep up if I have sex in here.
Besides, I need to have a serious talk with Megu later.
If I pick Megu up while having the scent of sex coming from me, she will get angry again. It would be troublesome to talk her out.
We can take it easy tonight when we get back home
I said.
That’s right. Kou-sama is already tired for all he’s done for us, let’s give him some break time
Tsukiko who can read my mind, tells her sisters.
Luna and Tsukiko has awakened their Yomi power, which is to read people’s minds, but,
Yomiko’s Tsuki power has only started to develop, and so it’s still a bit dull.
Kiyomi-san passed away, and they have loosened up as there’s no need to use the power they’ve accumulated inside.
Then, we will sit down on the back. Kou-sama, you can take it easy in the middle row
I’ll take that offer.
And I will be watching the surroundings so I’ll be sitting here
Edie sits on the passenger seat.
In case of an attack, Margo-san in the driver’s seat will prioritize driving us to a safe location.
Edie will jump out of the passenger seat and stop the raiders.
Thanks, Edie
Leave it to me!
Edie smiled.
Then, let’s go
Margo-san starts the engine.
Our car starts driving from the underground parking lot.
Fortunately, there’s no ambush nor tailing that happened after getting out of the hotel.
Even if the Yakuza’s dissatisfied with the result of the deal, they won’t be ready to attack or track us right away.
We’ve been confronting both Satake and Oodori’s group for the past few days, but their organization’s dismantled now.
The old big-shots of the Kansai Yakuza will have to deal with Oodori and Satake first, that’s what they told Jii-chan.
As for the subordinates of the two men, the other Yakuza would be contending to get them.
Even if they try to fight back, there would be a reorganization of the Yakuza world soon.
Fufufu, looks like the sisters fell asleep first
Margo-san said while looking at the rearview mirror as the car drives through the city in the dusk.
Looking back at the rear seats, the sisters wearing shrine maiden clothing are all asleep.
Yomiko, Tsukiko, and Luna are cuddling each other in sleep.
Well, they’re tired. They lost their virginity last night, had sex multiple times, and this morning, they trained their power They must be awfully strained
Yeah, the three did their best.
Even if Rei-chan was on their side, it must’ve been painful for them to hear the rage of the Yakuza and Kiyomi-san’s confession while standing next to Jii-chan.
But I’m glad
Yeah. I’m glad that they’re safe from the Yakuza now
They’re able to escape from the fate of the Takakura shrine maidens.
That’s not all, Darling
Edie?
The best thing is that these sisters are getting along now
Huh?
Do you not remember? Tsukiko ad the two weren’t on good terms when we first met them
Oh right.
For some reason, Yomiko, the second daughter, is the one being pushy.
Tsukiko was reserved.
And Luna was secluding herself.
Now, they’re getting along
Edie said I looked back at the sleeping sisters.
Yeah. No matter how you look at it, they are sisters who wear a beautiful dress and get along together.
I can feel that the sisters accepted each other.
That’s Darling’s power. That’s amazing, isn’t it?
I
You definitely did something, as long as you’re moving forward
Edie said.
Now then, Yoshinobu-kun. How about we start a different conversation?
Margo-san says from the driver’s seat.
Sure, what is it?
I wonder what it could be?
Have you seen the Seven Samurai movie? Not the Seven in the wilderness or the Seven in the universe, the original one from Kurosawa
Nope
I replied.
Well, it’s a movie you can’t give an opinion on unless you watched it. It was broadcasted on television in Japan only once. Furthermore, it was heavily edited, and there were too many commercials in between
Margo-san said.
Either way, here’s the story. It was during the old days of wartime in Japan, a village was attacked by field warriors. I don’t know much about field warriors, but they seem to be samurai who don’t have masters anymore and became something like thieves. Either way, the bad guys attack the village multiple times to take their food, and the villagers can’t do anything as they are poor. Then, after some discussion, they hired a samurai to defeat the field warrior Farmers hired a samurai?
Well, it’s in the war period, and so there is a lot of samurai who are like ronin as they have no master. And that’s the kind of people the farmers hire. But, since the village is raided by the field warriors, they have no reward to offer. The best that they could promise is a meal O-Okay.
And so, they had no choice but to look for a samurai with a strong sense of justice who wants to help out the villagers. And, well, they’ve brought back seven samurai to the village, and the story is about them fighting the field warriors I see.
That kind of story doesn’t exist in the history books though
Edie said.
Huh, what do you mean?
Before the establishment of the hierarchy of samurai, or even before the monopoly of warriors, there was no difference between a warrior and a farmer. That’s how Japan saw it especially during the war era
Those who were farmers become soldiers in a war halfway through the warring states. There are no permanent soldiers in the war as the war continues after all
Margo-san said.
There are weapons in the farmer’s village, and most farmers have been in battles too. They can’t let the field warriors just take them out one-sidedly, and there’s also a network with the neighboring villages, and so they take down the band of thieves together. And that’s why there are large scale uprising, see? The Kaga uprising was done by people who have been ruled by the country for nearly a hundred years Nei talked about Nobunaga’s ambition of unifying the country
Seriously?
In the first place, if field warriors do exist, the lord there would send their soldiers to crush them down. Even in a war-like era, it would be tedious to have a field warrior group in your area. They don’t help to plow the land and yet they come to rob the crops That’s true.
However, why am I receiving Japan history lessons from two Americans?
That’s the biggest problem, a field warrior attacking the village, and the samurai hired by the village are basically the same guys. They have no master to serve, and so they don’t have a place to return to. They don’t have their land to defend, relying only on their skills, they roam the country looking suspicious. It just happened that the field warriors attacked a village, and the seven samurai who were wandering around the highway saw it But, the seven samurai are righteous a kind-hearted people, and the field warriors were the bad guys. They were classified distinctly
Do you understand what that means?
Margo-san asks me.
No, I don’t get it. I couldn’t possibly know
What it means that it’s a historical play based on the events in the past, but the characters were written in modern style
Modern style.
The film Seven Samurai was filmed in 1955. It’s still during the post-war turmoil, and they say that Japan’s economy is getting better after the war, but that wasn’t the case. It was in 1965 where the economic depression happened Just after the Korean war ended
