Shou-neechan said.
But, we can’t leave girls like you alone. If left alone, bad people will use someone like you as their sacrificial pawn for convenience I’m not an idiot that evil people can use We’re not worried about you. To tell the truth, if we leave you alone, someone will use you, and it’s troublesome, so we’ll get ahead of them
I see.
If at that time.
Edie didn’t call out to Adelheid-san, who got dismissed.
Adelheid-san will look for a new employer, and try to promote herself among the young ladies in the courtyard.
However, the young ladies in here will never hire Torii-san, a bodyguard that just got dismissed.
Furthermore, everyone in here has their personal bodyguard.
Adelheid-san will try to promote herself, asserting that she’s from Europe.
It becomes a trouble for other bodyguards.
And Tendou Otome will not let that go by.
No, it’s probably her ground to talk to Adelheid-san and say, let’s find you an employer, to pull on her side.
Therefore, they went and talked to her to beat her to the punch.
You smell trouble, but it can’t be helped
Edie sighed.
And in the end, what do you want me to do?
Adelheid-san doesn’t break her challenging behavior.
Are you telling me to join Kouzuki SS?
Ah, Adelheid-san changed the force of argument.
She’s quick but troublesome.
After understanding that her skill will not get her reemployed by other families.
This time, she’s targeting Kouzuki SS
You’re not suited in company work. You lack loyalty
Edie said.
Right.
If Adelheid-san joins Kouzuki SS.
She’ll only think of it as a stepping stool.
If she finds a better employer, she’ll resign right away.
She’ll only cause trouble to people, not even thinking of passing the baton.
It works in foreign countries, but not in Japan.
If Kouzuki SS were to hire her, it would hurt the trust in the company.
Rather than that, nobody will hire you without knowing your skill
Shou-neechan said.
I think you already know, but Misuzu-sama is the host for today’s party. Anything we’re to do needs Misuzu-sama’s approval
Shou-neechan looked at Misuzu.
Misuzu and Ruriko are discussing something.
The ladies of Kouzuki house will decide what happens to you ultimately. I can report to my superiors but, I have no right to say. Do you understand?
The problems of young ladies’ bodyguards is a delicate one.
The young ladies look at Adelheid-san doubtfully.
Shou-neechan can’t decide for herself whether she’s accepted or not.
As I said earlier, I’m a graduate of Academy, and I know the true worth of your A-3 license. But, it’s meaningless even if I do. You need to show your worth to the young ladies in here, and make them understand Make them understand?
Adelheid-san repeats.
That’s right. It’s meaningless to make an appeal the young ladies won’t understand. Basically, you’re not showing your strength
Shou-neechan said.
You can have all the abilities you need as a bodyguard, but the young ladies don’t know martial arts. They might not even be interested
And that’s why, earlier, during the exhibition match.
Kyouko-san, Miss Cordelia, Rei-chan, and Margo-san.
They showed a battle filled with charm.
Furthermore, it’s a fight where they appealed their strength and skills to the young ladies.
And so the young ladies had fun watching, and after it was over, their evaluation of the four never went down.
Instead, it turned Rei-chan and Margo-san popular.
I finally understand what you’re trying to say
Adelheid-san understood.
She’s not an idiot. She’s just young.
She’ll understand once you explain it to her.
Then, who do I fight?
Adelheid-san looked at Shou-neechan.
Reika and I won’t do. Neither will Michi-san and Edie-san. It’s unreasonable for you to fight bodyguards that are involved with Kouzuki If the bodyguards here understood that I’m stronger, what position will you give me?
No, look.
That’s not how it works.
She doesn’t get how the world works.
Hmm. You think you can win against Michi or me?
Edie smiled.
Well, if it’s against them, I will not lose
Adelheid-san looks at Yomi, who stands a bit further than Michi.
Hmm.
I guess Miko power was a misfire.
Well, Luna.
She’s still clinging behind me.
Those girls have a special skill. They just started in martial arts
Edie explained.
You jest. Nobody will understand my skill if I just overwhelm a beginner
Yeah, well.
I think that Adelheid-san will lose.
Kyouko-san’s speed is monstrous, and so she could deal with Yomi before she used her power, but.
She can take on Adelheid-san in an instant.
Then.
Would you like to have a fight with me?
Says Shie-san, Kanou-san’s bodyguard.
Sakurako-ojousama, please give me your approval Shie, why would you?
Kanou-san’s surprised.
Shie-san looked at Shou-neechan.
Seki-sama, uhm, is Kouzuki SS taking partime recruits?
Huh?
Shie, what are you talking about? Sakurako-ojousama, I’m thinking of leaving school What did you say?
Shie-san.
If I drop out, then I can’t become Sakurako-ojousama’s bodyguard in school, but when you’re studying, I will be free. I can apply myself to work at Kouzuki SS meanwhile
She wants to work partime in Kouzuki SS while Kanou-san is in school?
I can take the job of defending a
VIP
during the day. I don’t mind working as a subordinate in such places. Anyway, I would like to work along with others, wearing the same uniform in a post
Shie-san said.
Is Kanou house’s financial situation that unattractive?
Misuzu, who was talking to Ruriko, turned to Shie-san and asked.
no, that’s not the case. However, I would like to pay for my food
No, Shie-san is a bodyguard of Kanou house 24 hours a day.
Shouldn’t Kanou house shoulder for her necessities?
No, actually, I want to save up money Shie?
Kanou-san’s surprised.
I would like to save up some funds for when Ojou-sama becomes independent of Kanou house
Kanou-san will leave her house?
Chapter 857. High Life Ready? Go!
I understand your sentiment, but.
Shou-neechan smiled at Shie-san wryly.
How about you think it over before talking about it again?
Shie-san’s startled.
Kouzuki SS is an organization under Kouzuki house, Kakka’s personal company. And, you think that we can hire a bodyguard of Kanou house for partime work?
Kanou house has a rivaling status with Kouzuki house.
A bodyguard who protects such a family can’t have a side-job on a company owned by another family.
If you do that, you won’t just embarrass Kanou house, it will embarrass me who accepted you as well
Shou-neechan said.
There’s no side-job in bodyguard work. We can’t give you work during hours where your master is at school
Yeah, In case of a prolonged meeting of VIPs.
Shie-san couldn’t go home to welcome back Kanou-san.
I’m very sorry Besides, we prefer men who have a fierce-look and good physique as uniformed bodyguards. Their job is to overpower the surroundings and have strange people avoid contact with them. If we have someone cute, wearing a schoolgirl uniform, I’m sure that the uniform fetishists will come for you Yeah, like guys who love cute girls wearing uniform. I’m not cute
Shie-san said.
Oh? From what I see, you look cute
Shou-neechan smiled.
We deal with criminals like Kyouko Messer after all
That’s right, Shou-neechan is a professional.
The weight of her job is different from an exclusive bodyguard who follows their Master all day.
At least, we can’t conduct business where you work for us as a side job I’m very sorry for the impoliteness
Shie-san bows her head.
Although, if you want to leave Kanou-sama’s house and work for Kouzuki SS, then that’s a different story
Huh?
If that’s what you want, then I will assign you to another young lady. Your Master will change, but the contents of your job will stay the same. You won’t have to quit school either. The young lady I will assign you to also attends the same school Shie-san will leave Kanou house and enter Kouzuki SS.
Then, she’ll dispatch as a bodyguard of another young lady?
Oh, but you can’t join our company and get yourself assigned to Kanou house. It would be similar to a big company selling out because they have financial problems. Yet, they remain on the same building as they renewed their lease contract. The world doesn’t work that way If Shie-san leaves Kanou house and enters Kouzuki SS, it is a personal problem.
The bodyguard escaping Kanou house, which she served for years, would be a failure.
Kouzuki SS will gather some rumors about taking in a bodyguard from another house, but it’s not a big deal.
Other than being a personal problem, the idea that there were some trouble between Shie-san and Kanou house would show up.
However, If Shie-san affiliates herself with Kouzuki SS, yet, she continues as Kanou Sakurako-san’s bodyguard, then.
That creates more problems for Kanou-sama than me, right?
People will think that Kanou house is having problems with the cost of their bodyguards that they asked for Kouzuki house’s support.
Kouzuki SS paying up for Shie-san’s salary but, Kanou house might be paying up Kouzuki SS for their bodyguard service. Or Maybe, Kouzuki house is assisting them for free.
In short, they’ll see that Kanou house is having financial difficulties.
I devote my life to Kanou house
Shie-san said.
Right. Then, don’t say something that stupid again
Shou-neechan is smiling, but her words are harsh.
In the end, bodyguards who swore their loyalty to a specific house cannot have a side job as a bodyguard of someone else.
It’s known that if Shie-san were to bodyguard someone else and Kanou-san gets in danger, she will abandon her current Master and head over to Kanou-san.
I’m very sorry
Shie-san bows deeply.
Seki-san, I also apologize for her. My Shie is quite careless. However, Shie has done that due to my lack of virtue. Please forgive us
Kanou Sakurako-san bows her head to Shou-neechan, but.
Misuzu stretched out her hand to stop Kanou-san.
Kanou-sama, you mustn’t bow your head
She smiled.
Misuzu-sama?
Kanou-san’s surprised.
People are watching. They all seem to be having a pleasant talk while dining but, some of them are looking at us
Right.
We have lots of young ladies and their bodyguards in the garden party tonight.
We also have some Kansai Yakuza spies.
Seki-san came here to talk between servants. And so, we must pretend we didn’t hear what happened
Shou-neechan is older than Shie-san if we’re talking about their bodyguard duty.
It wouldn’t seem odd if Shie-san bows her head to Shou-neechan during their conversation.
I mean, Shou-neechan never takes off that smile of hers.
Looking from a distance, Shou-neechan, the site chief of Kouzuki SS, answered some questions Shie-san had, and so she bowed her head after.
Shou-neechan talked about Kouzuki SS, giving out training for the bodyguards earlier.
They’ll assume that Shie-san wants to join in the training, or she wants to practice with Rei-chan, along those lines.
However, if the young lady of Kanou house, Sakurako-san.
If Sakurako-san bows her head to Shou-neechan, a servant of Kouzuki house, then it will seem out of place. They will pay their attention.
And they’ll assume that something happened.
It is as you say. I’m sorry
Kanou-san said expressionlessly.
That conversation was between Seki-san and her. We didn’t hear anything Me neither
Edie smiled.
Did you hear anything?
Luna and I shook our heads.
Adelheid-san as well.
Edie looked at Anjou Mitama-san and Kinuka-san.
We didn’t hear anything!
Kurama Arisu says, representing her elder sister, who looks down.
Now then, let’s return to the topic
Shou-neechan speaks with a bright tone.
It would be a problem if Adelheid-san were to have you as an opponent
Right.
Adelheid-san wants to show off her real strength.
Shie-san suddenly presented herself as an opponent.
Why? Can’t I fight her off as my apology for earlier?
Shie-san suggests a penalty for herself.
Geez. Look.
Shou-neechan sighed.
If you, from Kanou house, and the bodyguard of Torii house were to fight in the mansion of Kouzuki house, it will become a big deal!
Edie laughed.
Do you not get it?
Adelheid-san.
But Torii Mariko-sama already dismissed me? That’s only convenient for you! The question of who brought you to this mansion still remains! Kanou house is on a higher status, you know? If the bodyguard of that family suddenly picked a fight in the courtyard, then the blame goes to Torii house I see. She’s right. You shouldn’t think of your own convenience, think of other people’s standpoint as well. You’re such troublesome girls!
Edie admonished Adelheid-san and Shie-san.
Besides, you, who’s older, and have a proper master, has a more significant reason why you don’t want to lose compared to her. It’s not going to be a fair fight
Shie-san will join the fight with the responsibility of a Kanou house bodyguard in her shoulders.
Adelheid-san, who Torii-san dismissed, has nothing to lose.
Besides, Adelheid-san is still 13.
Shie-san is at 17.
Age difference has nothing to do with this. I will win anyway
Adelheid-san said, but.
The young ladies watching do mind
Yeah. They’ll say, It’s natural that the older one will win against the small, or She cannot lose as she holds the honor of nobility.
And all the other thoughts.
Therefore, you cannot fight someone older than you and shoulder heavy responsibility!
Edie said.
But is there anyone like that?
Nii-san?
Luna clings on my legs.
Oh right, Luna’s 12.
There’s nobody
Edie waves her hand.
If I recall, you’re 13 years old, right?
Edie points at Anjou Kinuka-san, Kurama house’s bodyguard.
me?
Kinuka-san’s surprised.
Hey, what do you think after hearing our conversation?
Ruriko, who’s next to Misuzu, asks Kinuka-san.
i, no, I didn’t hear anything
Kinuka-san replies, but.
Earlier, you two tried to challenge Kyouko-san for your Master’s honor, right?
Ruriko asks.
That’s right. We showed our spirit to serve Kurama house! Right? Big Sis!
Mitama-san nods as her sister called her.
And that’s the reason we attacked Kyouko Messer from the sky Unfortunately, they avoided it
Err.
It was all to show that Kurama house.Misato-ojousama and Arisu-ojousama have us sisters with them! We will never go easy on those who are impolite to our young ladies!
The sisters declared.
So that’s how far you’re willing to go to stay with Kurama-san
Ruriko said.
But, if things stay as they are, Kurama-sama’s house will collapse Our loyalty remains even if the family is no more! No more!
Anjou sisters show no hesitation.
But, you would instead continue working than have the house collapse, right?
Ruriko smiles.
Look at your masters
Well, Anjou sisters say that they’ll protect Kurama house even if they collapse, but.
Kurama sisters prefer that their house doesn’t collapse at all.
Earlier, this girl got told that she can’t work in Kouzuki SS if she wants to stay with her master
Edie pointed at Shie-san and said.
But you girls, have you ever thought of helping out your Master’s house than protect them by selling off your skill?
Selling off their skill?
I have no idea how much Kurama-san’s family is in debt, but.
Ruriko said.
If you were to sell yourselves to another family, then shouldn’t the funds help them a bit?
Edie continues.
However, if that happens, we. We will get separated from Ojou-sama
Anjou sisters show troubled faces.
It’s not like you’ll serve other houses forever. You can take it for a limited time Besides, shouldn’t it be only one of you two serving Kurama-san instead?
Just one of the sisters working away?
If it’s in our company, we have contracts that have that terms. However, you must show that you have the skill
Shou-neechan said.
Do you mind, Misuzu-sama? Not at all. Grandfather entrusted hiding the young bodyguards for Kouzuki SS to Seki-san
Misuzu shows approval.
As that girl’s Master said, the young ladies in here think that you challenged Kyouko Messer because you want to abandon Kurama house and work for another house
Torii-san thought that way. I’m sure others had the same thought.
That’s.we. Others don’t care what your true intentions are. You can show your real motive, but they’ll only guess the truth
Everyone thinks that way, and so they accept it as that.
In short, you girls are in the same state as this girl who just got dismissed
Shou-neechan points at Adelheid-san.
Furthermore, the younger sister is the same age as her. Both look young and have no house to carry in their shoulder
Shou-neechan knows all of the bodyguards that came in today.
She doesn’t see Torii house as nobility but an upstart.
Kurama house, which is about to collapse, has no honor to protect.
Furthermore, everyone knows how Kinuka-san fought earlier, and so I think that it’s a great match if we have you two fight as a sideshow
If it’s a battle between two cute 13-year-old girls.
wait. Don’t make conclusions without asking us first
Kurama Arisu-san is angry.
Kinuka is my bodyguard. Isn’t that right, Onee-sama? i.
Kurama Misato is still all shook up.
Unfortunately, we couldn’t discuss it with Misato-san and Arisu-san
Ruriko said.
You two don’t have anything anymore
Minaho-neesan said that.
Misato-san’s going to become a prostitute.
And I’ll train Arisu-san along with her.
It’s already decided.
That means, Kurama house and Jii-chan already talked it out with Minaho-neesan.
Kurama house can no longer guarantee the pay nor the necessities for these two bodyguards We don’t need those! We are serving our young lady by our own volition
Ruriko said. Anjou sisters protest, but.
I’m talking to Kurama-sama
Ruriko replies gently.
Mitama, Kinuka, quiet down
Kurama Arisu-san tells her servants.
Ruriko-sama, I’m very sorry. Please continue
She bows her head
i’m very sorry
Kurama Misato-san said.
Your bodyguards follow you on their own volition. In reality, Kurama-san no longer has the power to have them follow you It is as you say
Misato-san starts tearing up.
Therefore, these two are free. Naturally, they’re not paid their wage, but they’re free to continue as Kurama-san’s bodyguard if they so choose. And they’re also free to sell their skill to another house to save Kurama house That means we no longer need to ask Kurama-san about it. See?
Misuzu said.
It’s the Anjou sisters’ problem whether they want to sell their skills or not.
Therefore, Kurama sisters were ignored.
Or should I say that it’s a problem if a servant continues to serve a Master who can’t give anything to them, don’t you think? But, Kinuka, Mitama were with me since we were born!
Arisu-san said.
That’s right! We have been Misato-sama and Arisu-sama’s bodyguard since birth! We swore to Ragaraja to protect them forever! I pledged to Vaisravana!
These sisters.
No, you should leave us
Kurama Misato-san said.
O-Onee-sama! Why? Kinuka are our. Yes. They worked splendidly. That is why we cannot let Mitama sink along with us
Kurama Misato-san looks at Shou-neechan.
Seki-sama, I believe that Mitama is suited for Kouzuki SS’ work. Could you look after the two?
Shou-neechan.
It’s for them to decide. I believe Misuzu-sama already mentioned that
Yes, it’s for the Anjou sisters to decide whether they will sell themselves or not.
We will not go anywhere! We’ll stay as Misato-sama’s subordinates forever!
Hearing that, Kurama Misato.
Then, Mitama, Kinuka, as your Master, I order you two.
She says while tears drop from her eyes.
Take Kouzuki SS’ offer Misato-oneesama, I don’t want this. I don’t want to separate from Kinuka! Me too! Me too!
Oh.
It looks like the young ladies noticed the fuss.
If this goes on.
Even if you say that. Kouzuki SS cannot hire them if we don’t know their skill
Shou-neechan said loudly.
Kurama Misato, who settled that their house is collapsing, is now letting Kouzuki SS take their bodyguards. That’s what everyone thinks.
You need to be strong if you want to get in Kouzuki house
Edie continues the play.
And so, you need to show off your skill by fighting off this girl! Then we’ll talk
She pats Adelheid-san’s back.
With that, they’ll see Adelheid-san as someone trying to promote herself to Kouzuki SS
Anjou Kinuka 13 yo vs. Adelheid Katori 13 yo. Ready! Go!
The sideshow begins.
The young ladies observe as it’s amusing for them.
wait a second!
Adelheid-san said in a panic.
The conversation moved on its own but, I cannot fight someone that weak
She speaks loudly, but that’s not an act.
I’m an A-rank license holder graduate from the academy! I feel sorry fighting this girl!
Adelheid-san said with pride.
It looks like she loves attention.
So you say, but what about you, Kinuka?
Edie smiled.
Kinuka’s clearly angry.
I cannot let that statement pass by kinuka?
Kurama Arisu-san’s surprised.
This is different from earlier. Anjou arts self-defense, Anjou Kinuka.Now that you said too much, it would be a shame as a warrior if I don’t face you!
Oh wow.
Kinuka-san’s fired up!
Chapter 858. High Life Little CatFight Part 1
This is different from earlier. Anjou arts self-defense, Anjou Kinuka.Now that you said too much, it would be a shame as a warrior if I don’t face you!
Kinuka-san moves forward, filled with fighting spirit.
My, what’s going on? What’s starting?
The young ladies give their attention this way.
Kansai Yakuza’s spy, Tendou Otome, does the same.
Ah, she’s whispering something to the young lady who speaks for her.
Tendou Otome slipped in the courtyard as a bodyguard of the young lady of Mizushima holdings.
And so, she has no right to speak along with the young ladies.
It’s probably rare for bodyguards in Kansai to infiltrate, so she’s likely unacquainted with the other bodyguards.
I don’t know whether the young lady is her only ally, but still.
That lady is the granddaughter of the president of Mizushima Holdings, right?
She seems like a minor character for a young lady.
Yes, Nii-san. She’s the young lady of the company president of Takahama products. Among the people that came here today, her lineage isn’t that great
Luna says while clinging to my back.
Luna’s been reading the minds of the girls in the courtyard since earlier.
The young lady of Mizushima holdings is that one. The small girl next to Reika-oneesama right now
Oh, there’s a small girl among Rei-chan’s fans, she looks like someone from elementary.
A long curled hair, she’s cute.
She knows that Tendou is someone scary, and so she escapes to Reika-oneesama
Does she know that Tendou Otome is a spy from the Kansai Yakuza and forced herself to become a bodyguard?
Maybe that’s why she’s not sticking together with her.
And the Takahama product young lady is having a lesbian relationship with Tendou, that’s why she’s saying what she’s told
Luna whispers.
Lesbian? Yeah. That Tendou looks like she dragged her to that world. The young lady of Mizushima holdings was too young that it was on Tendou’s strike zone, she wonders
Oh, she’s a lesbian, but not into lolita.
Also, they needed someone well-connected, like that Takahama products young lady to make dodgy dealings with other young ladies
I see. Elementary school girl has few connections.
Takahama products’ young lady should be in high school.
But, these are all only from reading the mind of the Takahama products young lady
Luna said worriedly.
That Tendou seems to know the reach of our power
Miko power needs close distance to use.
Therefore, she’s taking distance from Yomi-oneesama and me
Tendou Otome came from Kansai.
She probably investigated all the secrets Miko power has.
She naturally noticed that the girl hiding behind me is Takakura Luna.
ALso.
Luna’s sweating on her forehead.
That Tendou is showing bloodlust towards Yomi-oneesama and me from time to time
Bloodlust?
To be specific, she’s imagining throwing a shuriken at us. A clear image of shuriken hitting my head or chest
Luna clings harder.
Looks like she’s using fear, so we don’t peek into her mind
I see.
She thought of that method to counter the mind-reading power.
If Tendou Otome’s thoughts are filled with thoughts about killing the reader or a clear image of the aftermath, then.
Yomi and Luna won’t be able to peek into her mind in fear.
It’s okay. If she tries to do that, the bodyguards in the courtyard will deal with her
Edie, who listens to our conversation, said.
We have Misuzu and Ruriko in our direction. If she throws a shuriken, everyone will react
The bodyguards in here will never let danger come to Misuzu.
Rei-chan and Shou-neechan, Kouzuki SS, will move once Tendou Otome gives them a reason to capture her.
Besides, Kanou house, a family rivaling Kouzuki house in history, is here.
If she commits an act of terror where both Kouzuki and Kanou house daughters are present, she can’t complain if she dies here.
Oh, so that’s why Jii-chan had the lady of Kanou house sit down on Misuzu’s table.
If it’s just Misuzu and others here, they’ll have a grudge against Kouzuki house.
Under the circumstances, she can commit terror acts on Kanou house and Kurama house, and she’ll blur the focal point.
Torii-san is away from the table, eating alone in the catering area, but.
We can’t go to the food even if we’re hungry.
We’ll close our distance with Tendou Otome.
It would be dangerous to approach her unprepared.
Michi’s dealing with Yomi now
Edie said, then I looked at Michi and Yomi, slightly further from us.
As soon as that woman sends her bloodlust on Yomi, Michi will send back the same What do you mean? If that woman throws out a shuriken for real, then Michi will throw a shuriken at her too
In short, if she moves to kill Yomi, then Tendou Otome’s life is forfeit, Michi warns.
However, Yomi’s clinging to Michi, trembling.
It can’t be helped. Yomi and Luna don’t have experience in fighting.
Still, as expected of Michi, she’s good at this
Edie smiled.
What do you mean? You’ll get it a bit later
Edie said and laughed again.
Now then, this is the second part of the exhibition match!
Shou-neechan speaks loudly.
It’s been 20 minutes since the party started.
Just in time for a sideshow.
Okay, please look this way, everyone!
As expected, fighting in the garden party would be dangerous, and rubbish might get in their food.
Adelheid-san and Anjou Kinuka are facing each other in the front garden.
The foothold is made of stone, and it’s slightly taller than the courtyard.
With that, the young ladies and bodyguards can see the fight between the two nicely.
Somehow, this looks like some world championship fight.
A deathmatch between both 13-year old bodyguards! Let’s see who’s stronger
Shou-neechan’s hosting the fight in high spirits.
On the red corner, the bodyguard just dismissed from her work by Torii house. Now she’s free. Europe’s representative, Adelheid Katori-san!
Adelheid-san glared at Shou-neechan in discontent.
On the blue corner, she can’t lose for her master’s house, and for herself! Japan’s representative! Anjou Kinuka-san!
Kinuka-san is exposing her fighting spirit with a blank look on her face.
Everyone, this will be fun, cheer for them
Rei-chan tells her fans.
Right. Who do you think will win?
Margo-san said, then the young ladies look at Adelheid-san and Kinuka-san.
Hmm, I think. Hmm, if I recall, Torii-san’s former bodyguard has an A-rank license, right? But you know? Seki-san mentioned that her license isn’t that big of a deal Right. To think that Torii-san’s family could hire her
The young ladies aren’t holding back, Adelheid-san is displeased.
As for Kurama-san’s bodyguard, she looks cute She jumped at Kyouko Messer earlier eeh? But she’s as cute as a cat
Kinuka’s embarrassed from getting called cute.
But, Kurama-san’s house is closing down It must be hard for her to find a new Master Oh, so that’s why she’s fighting off the A-rank girl Indeed
Sure enough, the young ladies understood it that way.
Ufufu. Looks like it has become interesting while I was away
Torii-san comes back to Misuzu’s table while carrying a mountain of sandwich on her plate.
Here, have something to eat everyone. Somehow, there were lots of troublesome talks that we didn’t have time to eat, so I brought some for us
Torii-san tells Misuzu, Ruriko, and Kanou-san.
Thank you. Kanou-sama, let’s eat
Misuzu takes the initiative and grabs a sandwich Torii-san brought.
It’s Misuzu’s method of returning gratitude with gratitude.
I’m still full
Kanou-san doesn’t move. That’s her way of life.
Seki-san, I would like to have a word with everyone before we fight
Adelheid-san said.
Oh? What is it? In case I won against her, then please recommend me to another nobility’s house as a bodyguard through Kouzuki SS. If that’s not possible, then could you contract me as a top elite of Kouzuki SS?
Top elite?
I heard that Kouzuki SS has exclusive contracts with the top elites compared to regular employees. Bodyguards personally controlled by Kouzuki Kakka
Adelheid-san smiled.
Yes, Reika and I are top elites. We have a different employment term than ordinary employees. Different wage as well
Shou-neechan smiled.
But, I don’t think you can become a top elite My skills excel over others!
She says herself.
Her sense is different from the Japanese people.
I will prove that by knocking this girl out!
Adelheid-san takes a deep breath and stands ready.
Yo! A-rank License!
Margo-san shouted! The young ladies laughed.
I’ll show how strong A-3 graduates of the Academy are!
Adelheid-san doesn’t lose heart.
On the other hand, Kinuka-san.
Huff! Huff!
She’s loosening up her body.
Hey, you. How about you show your real strength this time?
Margo-san said.
Huh? What does that mean?
The young ladies ask Margo-san.
Margo-san, who had a beautiful fight with Kyouko Messer, allied with Rei-chan, has said.
The bodyguards listen out of curiosity.
Well, I think Kuromori-kun knows more than me
Margo-san, what me?
The girls in the courtyard looked at me.
Kuromori-kun, you went to greet Kyouko Messer-san when Reika-san’s giving everyone a lecture, haven’t you? Saying thanks for coming today
Misuzu’s the host for today’s event.
Kyouko Messer’s appearance is just a play to stir up the event.
Then, after the exhibition match ended, Kyouko-san went away, so.
It wouldn’t be strange if I go and meet Kyouko-san to show gratitude as Misuzu can’t leave the venue, and I’m Misuzu’s fiance.
What did Kyouko-san say? She must have some impressions she told you about the bodyguards gathered in here, has she?
Margo-san said. The bodyguards send a strong gaze at me.
They all want to know Kyouko Messer’s impressions.
Err, Kyouko-san, if I recall.
I searched my memory.
If I recall, she mentioned three talented girls among the bodyguards that came today
I said. The bodyguards became noisy.
Ah, that excludes Edie, Michi, the two from Kouzuki SS, and Margo-san. She mentioned that there are three girls she wants to hire among the bodyguards that have come
I don’t know who that is, though.
Is that everything Kyouko-san and everyone said, Kuromori-kun?
Everyone?
Margo-san, you were listening to our conversation in that room from outside?
It was Minaho-neesan, Kyouko-san.
And Miss Cordelia in that room!
Also, Miss Cordelia. Oh right, Miss Cordelia is Kyouko-san’s partner. She asked What about the bomber sisters? to Kyouko-san That means Anjou Mitama-san and Kinuka-san.
Misuzu added.
Oh right.
Yeah, Kyouko-san loves playing jokes, and so I thought that Miss Cordelia was just asking about Anjou-san after their strange attack, but.
That wasn’t it.
Miss Cordelia don’t recommend people for that reason.
That means.
They acknowledge Anjou sisters enough to get recommended?
And their gaze gathers around Anjou Mitama and Kinuka.
I thought so too. When they showed that they are willing to fight and started that absurd attack, it confirmed the sisters’ ability
Shou-neechan said with a smile.
Skylab Hurricane Mixer was a smokescreen?
It was to not let people become aware of Anjou sisters’ real ability?
But, isn’t that a bit reckless against Kyouko Messer? Right. No matter how you much you hide it, it will show itself
Margo-san said.
I won’t tell you to fight with respect on your opponent. That form is just a distraction
Rei-chan tells the Anjou sisters.
Is that so? Then, please show us how you fight seriously. If not, it’s not just you, Anjou Kinuka-san, it will affect your master, Kurama-san’s honor as well
Misuzu said.
Big sis!
Kinuka-san looked at her sister.
Anjou Mitama-san.
Go ahead. If you show your real strength, I don’t think they can steal all of Anjou style’s art Kinuka? Mitama?
Kurama Arisu-san calls out to her bodyguards while embracing her afraid sister.
There’s no need to worry. You can leave the foreigner of that degree to Kinuka Me! But I don’t want you to fight for a show!
Arisu-san looks at Misuzu.
Misuzu-sama, please stop this fight!
Misuzu.
That’s for the fighters to decide
She looks at the two 13-year-old martial artists facing each other.
I have no other way out. I will show my real strength to the people, even if it means beating up a kid I will take you down for the honor of my Master and my Arts. Also.
Kinuka-san speaks.
For calling me small. I’m not a kid! I learned from the Japanese dictionary that they call people like you kid
Adelheid-san laughed.
The dictionary’s wrong, my body is as great as my heart!
Kinuka-san says while having a blank expression.
My body is already curved, my heart is starry! Tenka Fukumetsu! eei! Stop saying something I don’t understand!
The two take a stance.
The two bodyguards attract all the girls in the venue.
Then.
Wait a second!
The girl who does what Tendou Otome tells her raised her hand.
It’s the young lady of Takahama products.
Tendou Otome plans to do something here?
Uhm, I would like to make one thing clear before this farce begins.
Takahama products’ young lady speaks.
Oh, what is it?
Since it’s a young lady speaking.
Misuzu deals with it, not Shou-neechan.
It’s a conversation between young ladies.
Well, you see, this fight is, under Kouzuki SS’, no, Kouzuki house’s control. It makes me feel that Kouzuki-sama is trying to take control of all our bodyguards
The young lady of Takahama products said with a malicious smile.
It was explained earlier. Kouzuki house has no ambition of such. We only show the real problem and suggest that it would be beneficial for everyone to learn from the professional bodyguards of Kouzuki SS
Misuzu said.
That’s right, Reika-sama is only teaching us self-defense I don’t think it’s a bad idea to borrow the establishments of Kouzuki SS for cooperation between bodyguards
Rei-chan’s fans and the young ladies of the Kouzuki group said.
However, it’s not okay that our bodyguards only participate in Kouzuki SS’s professional organization and nowhere else. I can only see it as Kouzuki-sama trying to take control of us no matter what Tendou Otome is grinning. Then, what do you suggest?
Misuzu asks.
Then.
I think that our bodyguards should have themselves involved not just with Kouzuki SS but other professional bodyguard organizations as well
Other organizations?
My family says that it’s not all about having a good relationship with Kouzuki-sama. Our families compete with various branches of Kouzuki group, and us daughters are joining with Kouzuki SS
Yeah, some of them are daughters of rivaling business against the Kouzuki group.
Now that you mentioned it My gather probably won’t like me getting involved with Kouzuki SS My family too
And the girls from that family start agreeing.
But, is there any other bodyguard organization that can bundle up the bodyguards of young ladies?
One of the young ladies speaks doubtfully.
Yes, there is
Takahama products’ young lady smiled.
Imperial Guard, a public company!
What?
Have you heard of that company? I don’t know
The young ladies speak unanimously.
No wonder. The imperial guard is a company based on Osaka
Osaka?
They’re a company of bodyguards for the nobility in Kansai area
Takahama products young lady said.
And Imperial Guard is opening their company in Tokyo soon
Osaka, Kansai, opening in Tokyo.
Oh, Tendou Otome’s smiling.
Therefore, I believe that half of us can be under Kouzuki SS’ care and the remaining half can sign a contract with Imperial Guard
So that’s what she’s here for.
Perhaps, Imperial guard is managed by the Kansai Yakuza.
The Yakuza bosses may assign the bodyguards for the nobility in Kansai.
Those guys are coming to Tokyo, and they might take half of the young ladies in Tokyo as a hostage.
This isn’t progressing
It wasn’t Misuzu who answered.
Torii Mariko-san.
Oh? Mariko-san, are you in favor of Kouzuki house taking control?
Takahama products young lady said.
That’s not the case
Torii-san smiled.
Well, for now, please talk about the data of that imperial guard company
Data?
Capital stock, employee count, business bank, primary clients, recent trade situation, you can’t progress this conversation if you don’t have the data
Torii-san said.
At least, we know what kind of company Kouzuki house and Kouzuki SS is. Kouzuki-sama’s home will stay safe unless the whole of Japan is sinking. Kouzuki SS is a company that will never go bankrupt Torii-san looks at Misuzu.
Kanou-san beside her as well.
Kanou-san’s family lineage is too great that her house can go on the decline. Still, other families will give them an honorary position just to make sure they don’t fall to ruin.
Kouzuki house will probably become like that someday.
They won’t break down as long as Japan lives.
And you’re introducing a no-name company from the Kansai Area to oppose Kouzuki SS. Are you sane? They’re a famous company among the Kansai nobility! All of the families there use Imperial guard!
Takahama products’ young lady persistently asserts.
Tendou Otome’s face is looking harsh now.
Oh? Equity investment is my hobby, and so I know the names of companies in Japan, but I never heard of Imperial guard
Torii-san smiled.
Sugimura-san, if I recall, your family belongs in Kyoto, right?
Misuzu asks one of the young ladies.
Yes, that’s right. Then, do you know that company? Imperial Guard
Sugimura-san.
No, I never heard of them
Hearing that answer, the young lady from Takahama products show confusion.
And whose bodyguard does Sugimura house use?
Misuzu asks.
Kouzuki SS Indeed, we have our bodyguards dispatched in Kansai area
Shou-neechan said.
That means, she’s exaggerating when she said that the Kansai nobility uses Imperial guard.
Takahama-san, you don’t seem to know so let me enlighten you
Misuzu said.
Kouzuki house’s main mansion, this place, is officially named as a Tokyo mansion
Tokyo Mansion?
Kouzuki house rose in Tokyo during the Meiji era, but we’re formerly a family from Kyoto
She smiled.
And we still have the mansion three times as large as this one in Kyoto. Grandfather and we visit them a few times a year. In short.
The young lady of Takahama products trembled.
We know the bodyguard state of affairs in Kansai Area
She knows that the Imperial Guard is not a trustworthy company.
i’m very sorry for the mistake!
The young lady of Takahama products comes back to Tendou Otome in a hurry after bowing her head.
Tendou Otome clicked her tongue.
Oh, that’s not just a maneuver to shake up.
She has more schemes to use.
Now, Haiji, now that the tedious interruption is over, give it your all and fight!
Torii-san tells Adelheid-san.
If you show us a good fight, I might not dismiss you anymore!
Adelheid-san looked displeased.
I will not return to Torii-sama anymore!
Then.
Kiko, Kiko. Kiko, Kiko.
What are you doing?
Adelheid-san asks Kinuka-san, her opponent.
Putting on iron claws on my wrist.
Kinuka-san puts some dangerous weapons on her wrists.
What’s with that Wolverine-like nails?
Adelheid-san asks. Kinuka-san crosses the iron claws in front of her.
Kashan!
A dry sound of metal echoes.
I was asked to fight seriously.
The 13-year-old small girl sets-up her iron claws.
Chapter 859. High Life Little CatFight Part 2
Ready!
Kashin!
The small Kinuka-san crosses her iron claws.
Haa, then I have to use my trump card if you’re going that far
Adelheid-san sighed.
Shakin!
Adelheid-san takes out iron blades at the tip of her leather boots.
I think that using this technique against you would be immature, but it looks like I can’t be unwilling anymore
She stands one-legged and faces Kinuka-san.
I will show you my German ninja arts!
what?
Hmm, German ninja arts? Do you know anything, Edie? It’s a technique founded by a former world ninja baron and equal fighter Kyoji Breda. Looks like he blended German secret arts and Japan’s ninja arts together
Japan’s ninja arts?
It seems related to Yaman tribe
Edie smiled.
Oh, that’s a joke.
You talk about immature, but we’re of the same age
Kinuka-san said.
I still am more mature even if we’re of the same age It’s just our height that’s different Height? Do you think that you can compare your own flat chest to my breasts?
Adelheid-san has a small puff on her chest, despite being a 13-year-old girl.
But Kinuka-san’s flat.
Oh, I get it, if we’re talking about immature, you mean.
Kinuka-san glared at Adelheid-san.
You already have hair growing down there, right?
Err.
That’s why you call yourself an adult! Must be a forest down there! It’s a smooth plain! Then it must be grassy It’s just trickling! I’m still 13!
What’s with that conversation.
I see, so it’s trickling
Kinuka-san nods.
Oh? Do you mean that you don’t have it yet?
Adelheid-san’s not shaking. Instead, she’s showing a triumphant face.
Yes You mean, smooth? Smooth Oh my, you’re still young then It has nothing to do with hair! Aren’t you the one who started that topic?
What’s with these two?
You should begin soon. They’re getting bored
Shou-neechan, the referee, smiles wryly.
However, in reality.
The young ladies and their bodyguards watch the two, thinking that it is amusing.
Adelheid-san is kicked out of Torii house, and they know that Kinuka’s Master’s house is collapsing.
The two of them aren’t burdened by the weight of nobility.
It doesn’t matter who wins or loses, it will not affect other families.
Above all, these two are cute 13-year-old girls.
They both have weapons, but they look cute.
I mean, the young ladies and I.
We know how much the bodyguard train, and so.
They know that the iron claws and the blade on shoes will not result in anything tragic.
This is the courtyard of the Kouzuki house.
The girls should know that the party asks for nothing but a sideshow.
These two are capable bodyguards who know the meaning of that.
How do we decide the outcome?
Adelheid-san asks Kinuka-san.
You cry you lose? No. You don’t look like you’ll cry if you lose Then, losing when our knees touch the ground three times? That’s better!
The two smiled.
Then, begin! Ready! Go!
As soon as Shou-neechan gave the signal, Kinuka-san speeds up.
Anjou arts.Secret technique, cat’s paw!
She lunges her hands with iron claws like a cat’s paw.
Nyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyanyaa! That’s like Mickey Rourke
I don’t know who that is.
What? That’s dangerous, you know!
Adelheid-san is deflecting all of the cat punch with some iron claws using her bladed shoe.
Looks like she’s using foot techniques as her main
Yeah.
Adelheid-san isn’t fighting with anything but kicks.
Nyanyanyanyanyanya! Haihaihaihaihaihai!
Kinuka-san’s iron claw cat punch.
Adelheid-san’s shoe blade kicks.
There are sparks between the friction of the two blades.
Nyanyanyanyanya! Haihaihaihaihaihai!
Err.
How do I say this?
It’s a cute fight
Kanou-san said in amazement.
I want that Nyanya kid Indeed, she’s so cute as a bodyguard I think she’s just perfect as my little sister’s bodyguard
What’s that? I hear voices leak out from the young ladies.
And that half-race girl is quite interesting Yes. I thought something’s wrong with her since Torii-san hired her, but. She’s proficient in foreign languages, wasn’t she? I want to take her when I go to Europe I think she’s convenient when you want to study abroad?
Somehow, the two are making an excellent appeal.
You’re good You too
Adelheid-san and Kinuka-san took a moment to breathe.
Nyaoon! Goronyaan! Nyanyanya! Shaa!
Kinuka-san chases after Adelheid-san with her cat claws.
Haihaihai! Haa! Tsuoi! Tsuoi! Haa!
Adelheid-san is deflecting all of the attacks with continuous kicks.
However.
Ah, it’s black
Adelheid-san’s high kicks flipped her skirt and exposed her panties.
My, Haiji, what a bold choice for your age
Torii-san’s right. Adelheid-san is wearing an adult black-laced panty.
Nyaanyaanyaan! I can see it! Goronyaan!
Kinuka-san points out while they fight, but.
Haihaihai! We’re in the middle of a fight, showing off my panties is nothing!
Adelheid-san continues her kicks.
Nyaan?
Ah?
Adelheid-san’s blade.
It cuts off Kinuka-san’s skirt.
Nyanyanya?
Kinuka-san’s panty is now visible.
Oh my, it’s also a cat
Misuzu smiled.
uu
Kinuka-san’s panty has a cute cat printed in it.
What? You’re wearing a cat panty, is that part of your secret technique?
Adelheid-san laughed at Kinuka-san.
Nyanyanya! uu. I’m angry now! You asked for it! Nyaa!
Kinuka-san jumps out, exposing her childish cat panty.
Haihaihaihai! Haii!
Adelheid-san catches all the intense attacks with her black laced panty exposed.
Somehow, the fight reached its climax.
I think the cat will win I think the half-race girl will win!
The young ladies are enjoying the scene.
These girls learned from Reika and Margo’s fight earlier, they’re now doing a show
Edie said.
They know that just strength isn’t enough to take their interest.
Even while doing that, they’re still making an appeal to show their physical ability, and techniques that they have. Therefore, the other bodyguards are watching their fight in admiration
It’s not just a show, they show their ability to those who understand.
And by doing that, the other bodyguards will pay their respects to them.
If they show their strength, then they won’t look down on them.
Look, everyone in the courtyard is watching the two fight
Edie?
That’s why this is the chance for our enemy
Enemy?
Tendou Otome?
Where is she?
Darling! Don’t move, everyone is moving
Edie whispered to my ears.
Don’t look at the enemy but at Michi, slowly
I look at Michi.
Michi and Yomi are placed a bit far from us.
The two are watching Adelheid-san and Kinuka-san out of interest.
Wonder what Tendou Otome’s objective is?
Edie asks me.
Well, gathering information about us. Also, circulating negative information to the young ladies about Kouzuki house, and also To assassinate the shrine maidens
Edie?
She doesn’t have to kill all of the Takakura sisters, if she kills one of them, then it’s enough threat for us
Right, the Kansai Yakuza.
They know how horrifying Takakura shrine maidens are because of Kiyomi-san.
If Kouzuki house monopolizes the shrine maidens, then.
They consider killing them off altogether.
that’s.
Luna, who’s listening to our conversation while clinging to my back, trembles.
If she knows the extent of the power of the shrine maiden, then she knows that she can kill them too
Yeah.
Yomi and Luna’s mother was gunned down.
They’re not afraid of the Miko power themselves. After all, they can kill the shrine maidens anytime. That will be their appeal to themselves and us Why them too? The biggest problem of the Kansai Yakuza is that their people are afraid of Kouzuki house taking control of the Miko power
Oh. I see.
I know that the Kansai Yakuza isn’t just a single group.
Most of them are afraid of Kouzuki house’s power and the Miko power that they don’t want to fight Jii-chan.
Therefore.
If they can assassinate one of the shrine maidens in the main mansion of Kouzuki house, then.
They will no longer fear Kouzuki house and the Miko power.
Kansai Yakuza will become Anti-Kouzuki.
But, she couldn’t bring a gun at this place, can she?
Kouzuki SS should have checked on them.
Furthermore, if they used a gun, all of the nobility will become their enemy.
Here are all the precious young ladies of various families, after all.
Therefore, she’ll use a shuriken or a blowgun. Something with poison
Edie smiled.
Nii-san
Luna’s trembling.
It’s okay. They won’t aim at Luna, you’re too close to Misuzu and Ruriko. She knows that Shou and Margo are on watch
Then that means, Tendou Otome’s target is.
Yomi.
And that’s why Michi’s purposely leading Tendou Otome to think that Yomi is an easy target
Pretending to concentrate on the fight between the 13-year-old girls.
Purposely creating an opportunity.
But, is she going to be okay?
Yomi’s placing herself in danger.
What are you talking about? It’s Michi. You don’t have to worry
Edie said.
All you have to do is give plenty of love on Yomi and Michi later
She smiled.
But I’m still worried.
It’s going to be okay. We planned to capture the enemy from the start.
Huh, Edie?
The players aren’t just us
Then that means.
At that moment.
Kyaa!
Suddenly, a woman screams like silk is cut off at Tendou Otome’s direction?
Hii! Murderer!
what?
eeh? What? What’s going on?
A maid of Kouzuki house shouts from behind Tendou Otome.
Isn’t that Kinoshita-san?
She looks cute, yet, she’s actually a fighter.
this person’s a murderer!
She points at Tendou Otome and screams.
Then, Tendou Otome herself.
She was about to throw away the shuriken at her right hand.
What are you doing?
Shou-neechan shouted. Rei-chan took the lead, and the maids of Kouzuki SS captured Tendou Otome.
Kyaa! what? Ojou-sama, this way! Everyone, get away from that woman!
The bodyguards take distance from Tendou Otome while protecting their Masters.
Tendou Otome’s master, the granddaughter of the president of Mizushima Holdings, got taken away by the Kouzuki SS maids.
She focused too much on Michi and Yomi that she didn’t notice Kinoshita getting close to her
Edie smiled.
So the encirclement was prepared.
Tsk, I made a mistake
Tendou Otome clicked her tongue.
Darling, I’ll look after Yomi
Shou-neechan commanded various bodyguards to surround Misuzu’s table.
Therefore, Luna’s safe.
Edie heads to Michi and Yomi, protecting her.
Who were you trying to throw your shuriken at?
Shou-neechan asks. Tendou Otome.
Oh? What do you mean?
She’s trying to lie her way out.
If anything happens to me, this will become a big discord between Kouzuki house and Mizushima house
That probably means Kansai Yakuza holds the Mizushima holdings’ weakness.
Therefore, they let Tendou Otome, a Yakuza dispatch, become a bodyguard of the president’s precious granddaughter.
That woman is a spy sent over by a Yakuza in Kansai
Michi shows up.
eeh, what? Spy? Yakuza? Really?
The young ladies become noisy.
She’s here to commit acts of terror in this party!
Michi points at Tendou Otome.
I will never forgive you for causing outrage at a party Misuzu-sama hosted! Huh, so that’s your plan on putting the blame on me?
Tendou Otome smiled.
that’s right. Tendou-san isn’t a bad person! This has to be some sort of mistake!
The young lady of Takahama products, who is under Tendou Otome’s control, desperately pleas, but.
Seki-san, look at this Yes, thank you
One of the maids hands over some documents to Shou-neechan.
The investigation reports from the Imperial Guard company Takahama-sama mentioned earlier has arrived
Shou-neechan smiled.
The company is some handiwork that is hard to understand from the outside, but 60% of the shares belong to a violent organization. It’s a shell company. The remaining 20 percent belongs to a crime syndicate’s dummy corporation that’s.
The young lady of Takahama products is surprised.
That means, they’re a company of bodyguards managed by crime syndicates.
Misuzu tells Shou-neechan.
That’s correct If this company were to dispatch bodyguards to the young ladies of the nobility, it would’ve been great trouble
Torii-san, who can’t read the mood, shines at times like this.
Bodyguards are people who are with us 24 hours a day. That means the crime syndicates will know all of our private lives That won’t end there
Kanou-san speaks up.
If you have a member of a crime syndicate as your bodyguard, you can’t complain if you get kidnapped someday
Kanou-san speaks with a bitter voice, it spreads through the courtyard.
Kidnapped? But, she’s right They’re a crime syndicate after all I’m scared! Takahama-san, what are you doing? Trying to introduce a frightening company to us That’s right! That’s right!
The young ladies blame the young lady of Takahama products.
I.
Then, she turned to Tendou Otome.
That gaze tells everything.
She was pushed by this woman who came from that crime syndicate
Michi said.
dammit!
Tendou Otome is looking for her escape.
This doesn’t look good if the poisoned shuriken hits a young lady from another house.
Seki-sama, I, Misuzu-sama’s personal bodyguard, will deal with this person who soiled Misuzu-ojousama’s party
Michi said and faced Tendou Otome.
Come with me. You filthy rat
Michi said. Tendou Otome looks offended.
What? You’re punishing me?
I see.
Michi provokes Tendou Otome to focus on her.
Tendou Otome is pretending to get provoked while looking for a way out.
In this situation, there will be no harm to other families.
Someone like you will take some time. Allow me to deal with you
Michi comes close to Tendou Otome, showing a chance.
Hmph. You already showed yourself using Qi
Tendou Otome speaks with composure.
But, you’re not the only one who can use Qi
At that moment, Tendou Otome sends a strong Qi to Michi!
Just like how Michi stopped Kyouko-san’s movement earlier.
However.
Did you say something?
Michi approaches Tendou Otome’s body.
Then she sends a blow to her stomach.
Uguu?
It looks like an ordinary blow, but it has strong Qi attached to it.
It spreads the shock on Tendou Otome’s internal organs.
how?
Tendou Otome tumbles down.
I wonder how?
Michi replies expressionlessly.
Sending back the Qi to the opponent is Kudou arts.
Kudou Arts was born to defeat those who use Qi.
Kyouko-san taught her. Michi used it in actual combat.
Kuh, dammit!
Tendou Otome writhe on the floor in frustration.
Even so, she’s desperately searching for a way out.
Then.
A woman wearing Kouzuki house’s maid uniform shows up.
Then, she squats before Tendou Otome, who’s writhing on the ground.
Hello. We finally met
She smiled at Tendou Otome.
Huh, Tsukiko?
you?
As soon as Tendou Otome recognized Tsukiko.
Obey me
Tsukiko uses her Miko power.
Ah, auu
Tendou Otome trembles while she looks up at Tsukiko.
Then, for now, please faint
Tsukiko shows a gentle smile.
Tendou Otome fell unconscious.
Chapter 860. High Life Prey
Okay, let’s bring her out!
Kinoshita-san smiles and grabs the blacked-out Tendou Otome by her neck.
The cute lady wearing maid clothing carries Tendou Otome without care. It surprised the young ladies in the courtyard.
Kinoshita-san! Take off all her clothes while she’s blacked-out and check all of her holes, she might be hiding some explosives inside her
Shou-neechan says loudly, making sure everyone hears it.
She couldn’t do anything earlier since she got stunned, but she could blow herself up later My! That’s scary! Right, she’s a spy sent in by a crime syndicate after all
The young ladies tremble.
Roger that! I’ll look it all up!
Kinoshita-san smiled.
please wait! what are you going to do with her?
The young lady of Takahama products, who is under Tendou Otome’s control, shouts.
Well, I’ll get her naked, then torture her after that
She replies brightly.
torture? I mean, she’s a spy who infiltrated to investigate the young ladies!
And a smile.
We can’t find out her secrets and what she found out if we don’t torture her
The courtyard became noisy.
you were talking to her earlier, weren’t you?
One of the young ladies asked her bodyguard.
WEll, she was talking about the Kansai company is better than Kouzuki SS That was all she told me as well For me, she invited to train together next time What are you talking about, weren’t you solicited that there’s a better job offer for you? Weren’t you the one who got that offer? I made sure to refuse. I have my master after all i did refuse her too
Oh, she called out to those dissatisfied with their current Master to gain more control in the party.
I didn’t talk to her directly, but.
Another young lady speaks to Misuzu.
Takahama-san doesn’t trust Kouzuki-sama or Kouzuki SS, and so she persistently recommends the Kansai company She told me the same thing. Naturally, I refused me too
The bodyguards had Tendou Otome.
The young lady of Takahama products invited the young ladies.
Perhaps, focusing on those who don’t belong in Kouzuki group.
In the end, this is what we were most worried about
Misuzu said.
Back then, all of the nobility has a family of retainers assigned as bodyguards. Our bodyguards were assigned from a lineage. However, nowadays, most of them don’t have a family of a bodyguard that serve them Kanou-san and Kurama-san’s house, both of them had a family of servant with a daughter, but.
Torii-san, she had to hire a bodyguard outside.
So far, each family only have their bodyguard protect their Master, and there is no cooperation between other bodyguards. However, currently, families hire bodyguards no longer belonging from a family of servants. Someone has to check if they’re good people or else we all would get hurt Indeed. To think that a member of a crime syndicate has infiltrated their spy as a bodyguard. This is a big problem
Torii-san says with a serious look.
No, it’s still better that the bodyguards are students, like us. They can come with evil intent, but we still have a wall
Kanou-san said.
However, for the other students who don’t have a bodyguard.
Misuzu’s school is for the super-high-class young ladies.
If you don’t have the lineage and assets, you can’t enroll in that school.
However, if the students in that school bring their bodyguards, the numbers increase.
Today’s party has about 30 or fewer young ladies in here.
Indeed. If the other students were to get hurt because of a spy that infiltrated as a bodyguard, it would affect the honor of the school
Misuzu said.
When was this one hired?
Kanou-san asks.
It hasn’t been a week. Isn’t that right, Mizushima-sama?
Shou-neechan asks the cute elementary girl who is supposed to be Tendou Otome’s Master.
yes
Mizushima-san is trembling.
Margo-san gently hugs her.
It’s okay. You didn’t do anything wrong yes, father told me to bring her along as my bodyguard in school, but.
She starts to tear up.
Yes, I know, it must’ve been scary to be with her. Yes. She was so scary and tormented me when I say something It’s okay now Yes
The young girl clings to Margo-san.
Tendou Otome is a lesbian but not a lolicon.
Therefore, all she did was threaten her.
If she were sexually abused, then the reaction would’ve been intense.
Yes, you don’t have to worry anymore. Your father will not receive any penalties, I believe. However.
Misuzu said.
He sent someone he knows is a spy into a lot of Kouzuki house.Other families in here will surely punish Mizushima holdings even without Kouzuki house doing anything Indeed, I will report this once I return home to father!
Torii-san, who can’t read the mood, declares immediately.
indeed With all these events happening, I don’t think our company will transact with Mizushima-san’s family anymore Me too, I will have to tell Father and Grandfather about this
The young ladies of Kouzuki house spread that mood.
However, Mizushima-san herself is a victim. You won’t receive anything harsh. If it becomes a disaster, Kouzuki house will adopt you
Misuzu said.
What a horrible father, letting her daughter go through all this horror
Misuzu turned to Shou-neechan.
We cannot let Mizushima-san go home now. Let her stay at our house tonight. Prepare a room for her Certainly
Shou-neechan bowed her head to Misuzu.
Oh, looks like she won Misuzu’s favor
Edie smiled.
What do you mean?
I asked Edie.
Misuzu knows her age. I think she’s 12
12?
Agnes, Luna, Mana, and Yomi will enroll in Misuzu’s school soon. If that happens, it’s better to have friends who are already in that school. Especially for Agnes
It will be Agnes’ first time attending school.
Also, she’s got the social standing good enough to bring a bodyguard with her. Then, we can assign Yomi as her bodyguard
Right, Luna is Agnes’ bodyguard.
Yomi will take the role of Mizushima girl’s bodyguard when they enter school.
She’s now under Kouzuki house’s protection, and so it wouldn’t look strange if her bodyguard belongs to Kouzuki as well
I see.
Also, there’s also Misuzu’s taste
Edie whispered.
Misuzu wants to watch Darling violate that girl while she watches
Huh?
Misuzu must be itching to do that already
That sweet and cute girl?
I looked at Misuzu.
As for Takahama-san, you did it yourself. You will receive a punishment for your deeds yes
The young lady of Takahama products nodded.
You can return home now. I don’t want to see your face anymore. I believe that everyone feels the same That’s right! You’re cooperating with a spy! You wanted to sell us off? What will you do if we got kidnapped?
The young ladies concentrate their blame on her.
I’m very sorry but, we would like to ask you a few questions over there
One of the Kouzuki SS maid uniform ladies called out the young lady of Takahama products.
We will ask you what you told the spy and the extent of it Right. Do it fast. Along with the spy
The young lady of Takahama products got dragged by a maid.
Kinoshita-san carried the blacked-out Tendou Otome with one hand.
That girl following behind, must be the bodyguard of Takahama-san.
She doesn’t look strong. She’s probably just a friend assigned as a bodyguard.
Therefore, she took an interest in Tendou Otome, who has the charm and was baited.
Looks like Misuzu didn’t like that girl. Well, she’s not that cute
Edie laughed.
Yeah, Misuzu doesn’t seem like she wants me to violate Takahama-san.
But, the spy will depend on Darling
Huh?
Tendou Otome?
It’s a waste to throw her away, right?
Yeah, she can use Qi. She’s a waste of war potential if abandoned.
However, will she become our ally?
She’s somewhat of beauty, and also has a good body
Edie said and smiled.
No, but.
Then.
Nyanyanyanyaa! Haihaihaihaihaihaa!
Ah.
I forgot about them because of the spy fuss.
I looked back at the stone-paved area.
Adelheid-san and Kinuka-san.
They’re still fighting.
Unyaa! Nyaoon! Haihaihai! Haiiyaa!
The iron claw cat punch and shoe blade fight.
The two have their uniform and skirt torn apart.
Their panties exposed, sweating all over.
Kinuka-san’s sister, Anjou Mitama-san, watches the two with her arms folded.
Don’t worry, Kinuka! No matter what happens, your big sis is watching Kinuka! Hainyaa! Kuu!
The fight between 13-year-old girls continues.
But, the fuss about Tendou Otome just settled down.
Everyone’s fed up with the fight already.
Danna-sama!
Misuzu calls me.
Danna-sama, what do you think?
The young ladies are waiting for my instructions.
Okay.
I think I can use Michi in this situation.
Michi, end the fight between them
I ordered Michi.
Yes! Master!
Then, Michi.
My disciple, Yomi. Do what Master says
Michi orders Yomi.
Instead of Michi, Misuzu’s bodyguard stopping the two from fighting.
Michi sees that it’s better to show her rank by ordering Yomi, her disciple.
Yes! Kudou style martial arts, Yuzuki Yomi, will abide by orders!
Yomi shakes her huge breasts and salutes to Michi.
Okay, go! Haha!
Yomi gets close to the two until she’s in the distance where she can use her Miko power.
what’s starting?
The young ladies and their bodyguard got interested, as Michi sends in Yomi.
Okay, looking good.
Both of you look this way!
Michi clapped her hands.
?
At that moment, Adelheid-san and Kinuka-san reflexively moved. Then, Mitama-san also looked at Yomi.
Fish!
Yomi grasped the three.
Okay, the fight is over!
The three fell exhausted.
Now spin. Wan!
The three spin around and then looked up at the sky.
Wan! Wan! Wan!
They made a cute bark.
Okay, now sit down, do it obediently
Adelheid-san, Kinuka-san, and Mitama-san.
They all do what Yomi told them and sit down on the floor.
Wait, what’s going on? Hypnotism?
The girls are surprised.
No, it’s martial arts
Michi speaks with a serious face.
If one master’s Kudou style’s secret techniques, then you can use Qi to do that
Right, our objective is.
To have the young ladies and bodyguards lump Miko power together as Kudou style’s Qi manipulation technique.
That it’s not a superpower for people in a lineage.
Yes, for example.
Michi goes to Kuromiya Motoko-san, the spearmanship tutor of Kuromiya style, while everyone’s looking at her.
Could I ask for your cooperation?
Michi said. Kuromiya-san.
Me? Yes, Let’s have a fair and square fight in front of everyone
She speaks without expression.
Rock, paper, scissors game. Rock, paper, scissors?
Kuromiya-san looks at Michi with a curious face.
I’m sorry. Then, I will explain what that game is first No, I know that much at least
Kuromiya-san puffed her cheeks.
Then, does everyone know that game?
Michi asks everyone.
Uhm, sorry, what is rock, paper, scissors game?
There is?
I guess this is to be expected from a group of young ladies.
Ah, then I’ll explain it to you
The bodyguard of the young lady begins explaining.
It looks like she thinks that her master shouldn’t be that ignorant.
Then, why do you want to play that with me?
Kuromiya-san asks Michi.
I will win. We’ll play ten rounds, and I’ll win all ten. No, I can win a hundred games straight That’s stupid
Kuromiya-san is surprised.
Then, please test it Okay. If you’re going that far
The two face each other.
Jan, ken, pon!
Michi won.
And she won ten in a row.
Huh? How? That’s amazing
The girls in the courtyard are impressed.
Furthermore, her opponent was Kuromiya-san, someone who isn’t related to Kouzuki house and is a warrior at heart.
They can’t think of it as a play.
I’m displeased. I never lost this much
Kuromiya-san said.
I love winning fights above all else I’m sorry for that
Michi bows her head.
Kurumi, try it out too
Kuromiya-san orders Mikuriya-san, her bodyguard.
Yes, Motoko-ojousama
Mikuriya-san tried to fight Michi, but.
In the end, it was Michi’s complete victory.
Does anyone want to try it out themselves?
Michi said.
me! I’d like to try it! I’d like to challenge as well
The young ladies or the bodyguards ordered by their Masters challenged Michi.
However, Michi wins all of it.
Is that practical use of Qi from your style?
Kuromiya-san asks Michi.
Yes, Kuromiya-sama
Michi replied.
If you can sense Qi, then you can read how people will act to an extent. In rock, paper, scissors game, there are only three choices. I can tell what the other party will choose if that’s the only scope That’s a great deal in martial arts. After all, you can read your enemy attack before they do it
Kuromiya-san accepted it as usable in combat.
Even if the opponent has various thoughts in mind if you can read if they will move on left, or right, or which part they aim at, then. Yes. You will never lose
Michi looked at Kuromiya-san’s eyes and replied.
However, you need to have the speed to deal with the enemy attack, not just guess where they’re coming from Oh, you’re right. If you notice how they will attack, you need to deal with it, or you will lose
It looks like they’re keeping the concept within the rock, paper, scissors game for the young ladies who don’t know martial arts.
And if you have the ability, you can do that next
Michi tells Mikuriya-san.
Next fight, you can only use rock What? Then, game!
And on the next ten rounds, Mikuriya-san used only rock and lost.
but I wasn’t thinking of using rock?
Mikuriya-san is surprised.
During our match earlier, I already grasped the Qi you release when you’re going to use rock. And so, this match, as soon as you decide which to use in the game, I change it to rock with the same Qi Michi’s Qi is strong.
Mikuriya-san got pushed by Michi’s Qi and forced to use rock all the time.
If you can attack with Qi in that instant, they choose their move. You can cloud their judgment
Kuromiya-san looks at Yomi.
I see, so that’s what she did Yes, and that is also the same skill I used to stop Kyouko Messer. Aim at the moment they decide their next move and release a strong Qi. Then, you can stop their muscles for a moment And it was the same Qi skill you used on that spy?
Kuromiya-san asks.
That’s a keen insight
Michi replied.
But, you repelled her Qi attack
Kuromiya-san smiled.
That explains why they stopped moving, but I don’t think it explains why they spin around and barked like that
Michi.
And that belongs to the secret techniques of Kudou style
She looked at Kuromiya-san’s eyes and said.
Okay. I will become your apprentice and learn it myself. But in exchange, I will teach you the ways of our style as well I’m looking forward to it
The two smiled.
I will surely learn and master Kudou style martial arts!
Okay.
Kuromiya-san is a martial artist, and it became a cushion.
With this, the young ladies and bodyguards.
They’ll concentrate on Kudou arts, not Michi.
Yomi and Luna will become Kudou style, user bodyguards.
Miko power will blend in as a Qi skill used in martial arts.
That young lady said something outrageous
Edie says from my side.
Recently, Michi and I decided.
Decided what?
If anyone wants to join in our martial arts family, then she has to have sex with Darling
Huh?
I mean, it’s inevitable, having sex with Darling is the best way to learn how to control Qi
Edie smiled.
Chapter 861. High Life Main performer entry
Is that all the problems solved for now?
We have restrained the Kansai Yakuza spy, who sneaked in.
And the young ladies managed to accept that their bodyguards will have a network centered around Kouzuki SS
Nobody can infiltrate Misuzu’s school using a bodyguard next time.
And they believe that Yomi’s Miko power is a Qi skill in Kudou arts.
Then, replacing Tendou Otome, the granddaughter of the president of Mizushima holdings will get Yomi or Luna as her bodyguard.
The remaining will become Agnes’ bodyguard. Her appearance belongs to the young ladies, and so she has to enter with the title of a young lady.
She can’t serve others.
That part of her is similar to Yukino, her sister from a different mother.
Also, Mana and Tsukiko will have to change schools somehow.
But the progress for this day makes me feel relieved.
Hm?
It’s okay, Onee-sama. Kinuka and Mitama are okay To think that these girls force themselves too hard, I’m such a coward
Kurama sisters come close to us.
As usual, the big sister is depressed, and the little sister is cheering her up.
Oh right, there are these sisters too.
Also.
Yes, please sit in here, Mizushima-san
Misuzu calls out Mizushima-san with a smile.
I’ve always thought you were a cute girl back then. What’s your name? Mizushima Karen
The cute 12-year-old girl replied nervously.
I see. Karen-san it is.
Misuzu was originally into yuri.
Jii-chan raised her and Ruriko to hate men.
Perhaps, she’ll never accept any other man than me for the rest of her life.
Furthermore, she had her time as Nagisa’s pet, her teacher in yuri.
I know that she wants to keep some cute pets for herself.
Tendou Otome had no interest in girls out of her age, and so she didn’t make a move on Mizushima Karen-san, but.
Oh, Yakuza pressured Mizushima holdings to send in a bodyguard of their picking.
If Tendou Otome made a move on Mizushima Karen-san, then her Grandfather would refuse to cooperate with the Yakuza anymore.
Anyway, it’s sure that this cute girl is still pure.
Danna-sama, don’t you think she’s cute?
Misuzu smiled at me.
I want a daughter like this
I’m recognized as Misuzu’s fiance, and so that line is seen as nothing but cute.
Misuzu’s fawning on me, wanting to bear a cute daughter in the future.
But in reality.
Misuzu is asking me if I want to keep Mizushima Karen-san.
Something like a girl finding a cute puppy in a pet shop.
While I worry about my reply.
Onii-sama, speaking of which, I’d like to introduce another girl to you
Ruriko also speaks to me.
She’s my junior, but she doesn’t have a bodyguard, so she’s not present. I will introduce her sometime later
You mean?
I believe you promised me to answer one of my requests.
Ruriko said.
That girl has something she wants to consult with Onii-sama no matter what
Consult what?
Ruriko’s junior, she’s still a daughter of nobility despite having no bodyguard, you know?
A daughter of nobility doesn’t have anything to consult with an ordinary high-school boy like me.
I believe it’s a problem that only Onii-sama can solve
Only me?
I guess it’s about sex.
Oh, that one
Misuzu smiled at Ruriko.
Yes, Misuzu-oneesama Then, I would ask for the same, Danna-sama. Please grant Ruriko’s request
Misuzu shows approval as the wife.
That I can violate Ruriko’s junior.
I believe that I will have to consult Danna-sama about various things with Karen-san I would like to look after Karen-san too Indeed, if you’d please, Ruriko
In the end, Misuzu and Ruriko are both daughters of Kouzuki head family.
They both have Jii-chan’s blood in them.
They learn the pleasure of dominating other people.
And on the other side, these girls desire me to dominate them.
Just like how Jii-chan introduced Misuzu to Nagisa with her lesbian practices.
And Ruriko living in a world where she has no knowledge about sex.
One mistake and these two could’ve become man-eaters.
That’s how much libido they have.
Yeah got it
I shouldn’t stop carnivores from chasing after their prey.
I will fall to hell together with them.
I accepted them with that resolve.
You guys have a good relationship
Torii-san is surprised.
Yes. I love Onii-sama too
Ruriko replies with a carefree smile.
And so, Kouzuki house is at peace. There’s no need to worry about internal squabble
Misuzu told Kanou-san and smiled.
I’m not worried about such a thing
Kanou-san speaks in displeasure.
However, she has no other table to sit down as her family rivals Kouzuki house.
Now then, as for the courtyard.
Calm returned after apprehending Tendou Otome and the young lady of Takahama products.
Oh, Michi’s still doing rock, paper, scissors tournament.
Yomi also got dragged into it.
Michi uses her Qi, Yomi, with her Miko power, and they continue to win all the games.
The young ladies and bodyguards are enjoying that as a sideshow.
Geez, if that’s the case, you should become her disciple too! I mean, I would like to learn the same!
Oh, I think that more young ladies and their bodyguards would want to join with the training Kouzuki SS will give them.
If they can help each other out, they can get along better.
Especially when training with martial arts and self-defense.
Oh, got to keep Kudou Haruka in check.
If that girl thinks that she could promote herself to the young ladies, she’ll say I can do Karate and keep on pushing herself.
Hmm, on the contrary, I think that could be an excellent camouflage
Luna said after reading my thoughts.
Really? Yes. I think that Haruka-san making a fuss among the bodyguards is just enough
Oh, I see.
Among the daughters born in generations of a bodyguard that serve families.
Some of them aren’t that strong.
Though they’re called bodyguards, they’re just a companion in school, and most of them are just friend-bodyguard to counter bullies.
Michi-oneesama’s techniques seem funny for now, but most of them won’t follow when told to train
Luna’s right.
Not all of them excel, like Kuromiya-san, a martial artist, Anjou sisters, and Adelheid-san.
Most of them are on Kudou Haruka’s karate level.
It’s okay, Nii-san. If Haruka-san gets overconfident, we have people to stop her
Michi, her little sister, and Rei-chan are here.
Still.
Why is nobody talking about Luna, who’s with me?
Luna’s changed from the pantsuit for bodyguards to a school uniform.
Her hairstyle changed, giving her a disguise.
Oh? Who’s that? or
Is that a relative of yours? or something like that.
I thought that they’d ask, but.
Torii-san, who asks anything out of curiosity, isn’t asking anything.
That’s because Nii-san doesn’t recognize me
Luna said.
The young ladies don’t talk to anyone but themselves and their bodyguards, right?
Now that she mentioned it.
Nii-san is Misuzu-oneesama’s fiance, but you don’t belong in nobility. Therefore, they don’t talk directly to you, and they don’t look at what’s over here. That’s basically it
i see.
That’s why nobody’s complaining about my presence at an all-girls party.
I mean, they try not to look at me.
I see.
Jii-chan recognized me, but for now, I.
Kuromori Kou isn’t a member of the nobility.
Torii-san talked about how we get along earlier, but.
It wasn’t about Misuzu and me, or Ruriko and me, but.
In the end, it’s about Misuzu and Ruriko’s relationship.
Misuzu and Ruriko, who should be having a struggle with succession, are getting along.
She’s ignoring me.
I see.
Nii-san, you’re not offended?
Luna asks.
Why? I mean, they’re ignoring you? No, this is their world, see? Now that I understand the reason, why would I get angry?
I.
I grew up where my mother ignored me.
Compared to that.
Right.
Luna clings to me.
I’m here. Nii-san Yeah, Luna
Luna’s body embracing me is warm.
I pat Luna’s head.
Still.
Misuzu-sama
Shou-neechan comes.
What’s wrong? Kaan-sama’s bestowing her presence Kaan-sama?
Kaan?
My? Kaan-sama’s also present?
Even Kanou-san is surprised.
Yes, she’s been inside the mansion, watching everyone
Shou-neechan said.
Watching?
You mean surveillance cameras?
Like Minaho-neesan and Kyouko-san?
I was aware
Torii-san smiled.
She called me last night that she’ll come today
Then that means.
Kaan-san is related to Torii-san?
If she’s present, then please send my regards, so she won’t find it impolite
Misuzu tells Shou-neechan.
That’s. What’s wrong? She said, ‘please keep Tsukiko-san, Yomi-san, and Luna-san away from the venue’
She knows the Takakura sisters?
If she doesn’t want to get in close distance with those with Miko power, then.
I understand.
Misuzu looks at me.
Danna-sama, if you’d please Is she that much of a VIP?
That she’s watching the party alone in a separate room.
That Shou-neechan purposely came to contact Misuzu about her arrival.
Misuzu.
Kouzuki house, Kanou-sama’s family, and Kaan-sama’s family are the big three of our school
Similar to Kanou house, a family rivaling Kouzuki house?
An owner of Memoru group
Memoru? Memoru bank, Memoru mobile, Memoru metals, Memoru heavy industry.
I think their enterprise is as big as the Kouzuki group.
That means.
Both in social standing and assets.
Someone we can’t be impolite with
Misuzu looks at me.
Okay
I looked at Michi.
Michi, have Yomi stand back. Bring her back to the waiting room
Michi is Yomi’s superior if we look at their relationship in Kudou style school.
I have to order Michi.
Certainly. Michi obeys Master’s command Eeh? But I want to play more Indeed, our bodyguards never showed anything other than paper because of her order Yes! It’s all paper!
The young ladies speak.
Misuzu stands up.
Everyone, Kaan-sama has come My, Kaan-sama? Kaan-sama is in Kouzuki-sama’s mansion!
The young ladies show surprise and excitement.
Then, please return to your seats
Misuzu said. Everyone return to their seats.
Now, let’s go
Tsukiko, wearing a maid uniform, takes Luna.
Luna. Yes, it’s okay, Nii-san
Yomi also returned.
Margo-san has come.
Looks like I should withdraw as well
She smiled.
Well, I already found some sponsors. I have achieved my objective. I will come with the three, don’t worry Thanks. Margo-san Margo-san, that’s the entrance, please return to the waiting room Yeah got it
Shou-neechan pointed out, evacuating Margo-san and the Takakura sisters so they won’t meet Kaan-san.
Okay, ready. Have we confirmed with Kaan-sama’s bodyguards?
Shou-neechan talks to the walkie-talkie.
That means she won’t come in unless the Takakura shrine maidens are out of the location.
Roger. Everyone, Kaan-sama has come, please welcome her with applause!
Shou-neechan tells the girls in the courtyard.
Then.
Coming from inside the Kouzuki house.
Hello, my friends!
A tall and beautiful lady shows up with a smile.
She’s wearing a party dress, just like the other young ladies.
No, it’s just that.
Her back and front are open.
It’s a daring dress where if you look from the sides, you’ll see everything.
Something like an actress in Academy Awards.
Although her proud look and flashy beauty, slender physique and filled with confidence.
Such a beautiful lady is coming in, but.
Welcome, Kaan-sama!
Misuzu, Ruriko, and Yoshiko-san from the other table greet Kaan-san.
The other girls are applauding.
Kaan-san makes her higheels sound as she walks to Misuzu’s table.
Behind her is a tall woman wearing a black male clothing.
She’s the bodyguard.
Onee-sama, this way!
Torii-san offers her seat.
Kouzuki, Kanou, and Kaan are the big three, and so they have to be together.
Torii-san made the smart move, seeing that it would be rude to stay in the same table.
You should stand up. Give Onee-sama a seat
Torii-san said. Kurama sisters leave their chairs immediately.
My, as tactful as always, Mariko
Kaan-san smiled.
Yes. If it’s for my precious Onee-sama, then I.
Torii-san blushes.
Mariko is my student in stocks! She’s got a lot of good points about her, so I keep on loving her!
Kaan-san tells the girls in the courtyard.
We’re not blood-related, but Mariko is my sister in heart! Therefore, Mariko’s enemy is my enemy! Hear that?
Kaan-san laughed.
Then, what’s up. How have you been, Mariko? Wait, did anyone try to bully you?
You were watching the whole situation in the waiting room.
Kaan-san asks Torii-san cheerfully.
No, Onee-sama. Kouzuki-sama has been especially kind for me
Torii-san replies.
Oh, is that so? Misuzu-sama, Ruriko-sama, I thank you for looking after Mariko
Kaan-san said. Misuzu.
Thank you for coming today
She bows her head.
Ruriko does the same.
Kanou-san’s attitude toward her is clearly different from others.
Indeed. I’ve come to visit. I wish I was here earlier, however. But, I, someone from Kaan house, couldn’t be in the same place with Kyouko Messer, or the spy of a crime syndicate, and etc.
Spy and etc. She means the Takakura shrine maidens with the etc.
With my standpoint. I think you understand, Misuzu-sama
She smiled at Misuzu.
You’re right. We’re sorry for that, Kaan-sama
Misuzu had no choice but to apologize.
She knows everything happening behind the scenes.
Our relationship with Kyouko-san, Kansai Yakuza’s hostilities with us.
Okay, then I will take a seat. Misuzu-sama, Ruriko-sama, take a seat. You make it look like I’m giving you two troubles yes
Everyone takes a seat.
How do you do. Kaan-sama Yes, how do you do as well, Kanou-sama. Are you in good health? I’m fine
After Kouzuki house, Kanou-san greets Kaan-san.
Then.
uhm, Kaan-sama!
Kurama Arisu, who stood up, talks to her suddenly.
stop it! Arisu!
Misato tries to stop her, but.
Sorry, but my reply is no
Kaan-san smiled and replied.
Your Kurama house, were affiliated with Kouzuki-sama, right? Kouzuki-sama couldn’t save your family, and so, do you think that Kaan house, a family unrelated to yours, could help you out?
Oh, I get it now.
Kaan san has been watching from the start.
Back when Jii-chan refused the Kurama sisters. Even before the lecture started.
She’s been in a separate room, waiting all this time.
Besides, it’s natural for your house to collapse. If you think about what your father did, it’s natural that Kouzuki-sama would abandon you
Kaan-san said.
I wonder what Kurama house did.
That they went to deep in debt that they had to sell their daughter to become a prostitute.
however. Arisu, I told you to stop already!
Kurama Misato stops her little sister.
I’m very sorry for her
She bows her head.
Indeed, she’s rude
Kaan-san snorts.
Seki-san, could you lead the Kurama sisters to a room?
Misuzu tells Shou-neechan.
Yes, Misuzu-sama
Shou-neechan gave instructions, and one of the maids comes over.
Come, let’s go
Kurama Arisu’s making a face that she doesn’t understand what’s going on.
Arisu. If we stay here, it will only hurt Kaan-sama. And it will cause trouble for Misuzu-sama as well Misato-oneesama Please don’t go home yet, we still have something else to discuss
Misuzu says with a smile.
However, Grandfather’s decision is absolute. We have no power to help you Thank you. The sentiment is enough
Misato-san bows her head to Misuzu.
Then, speaking to the girls in the courtyard.
Everyone, I believe that this will be our last meeting. Arisu, and I. I’m very thankful for everyone’s kindness and friendship. Please stay healthy everyone
Misato-san said and bowed her head.
Arisu-san did the same.
i will not forget everyone. Therefore, please remember Misato-oneesama and me. Thank you, everyone,
She bows her head.
Let’s go, Arisu Yes, Onee-sama
Kurama sisters left the courtyard.
Misato-sama! Arisu-sama!
Anjou sisters try to follow their Masters, but.
Don’t follow us Indeed, this is goodbye for you as well
Kurama sisters tell the Anjou sisters, holding back their tears.
I’m sorry. The current Kurama house cannot pay for your retirement Therefore.
Kurama Misato-san looks at Misuzu.
Misuzu-sama, could the Kouzuki SS find a new master for these two? Well, you can leave them to me
Misuzu replies.
That’s! Misato-sama! We have been Ojou-sama’s servants since we were born!
Mitama-san and Kinuka-san shout.
But.
We’re no longer young ladies if our family collapses Goodbye, stay healthy
Kurama sisters subdue their emotions and head inside the mansion.
Their backs are trembling.
But, they’re not looking back at their bodyguards.
wait! Wait! You can’t.
They try to chase after them, but Edie stopped the sisters.
If you chase after them, it will become much harder for them.
Chapter 862. High Life Doubtful Origin
It’s their last request, Misuzu-sama, do look after those girls
Kaan-san told Misuzu.
I will never meddle with the matters with Kurama house. Well, this is trouble within Kouzuki-sama’s house It saves me the trouble when you say that
Misuzu thanked Kaan-san.
But, she’s not lowering her head.
It shows that the two are in the same status.
Kaan house will continue to watch the progress until Kouzuki Kakka officially proclaims that he dealt with Kurama house
It’s officially known that Kurama house is collapsing.
Then, Jii-chan and Kaan-san both refused to help them.
This should’ve been big news.
The young ladies in here should be making calls to their father or grandfather to tell them the news.
Kurama house and Kouzuki group should have transactions with them.
They need to suspend all deals with them right away.
No, they only have to cut off their relationship.
If Kurama house is collapsing, then they would want to take the remaining assets at a bargain and steal away the clients in business.
People move when there’s a huge business chance for them.
And they want to relay the news to their family as fast as possible.
However.
The young ladies in this courtyard belong in the family where the school allows them to have bodyguards, they have both the lineage and assets.
Therefore, they will never do anything impolite such as trying to call back to their home or send mail.
This is a party Kouzuki Misuzu hosts.
If they leak any information about the party, they will investigate who sent it, and the other girls will surely blame that shameless act.
They know that the Kouzuki mansion has cameras all around the place.
If they try to make a call, they can immediately stop her.
On top of that, Kaan-san talked about leaving Kurama house in Kouzuki house’s care.
That means.
Thank you. Kaan-sama has asserted her position, with that, Kurama house will no longer blindly reach out their hand for help
Misuzu said.
I would also like to warn everyone in here to not do anything before Grandfather makes his announcement
Nobody will make a move on Kurama house until Jii-chan makes his official announcement.
Not all of them are close to Kouzuki house, but.
Nobody would want to have both Kouzuki and Kaan house look at them poorly.
You too
Then, Misuzu smiled at Mizushima Karen-san.
Misuzhima holdings will be the same until Grandfather deals with it, okay? Ah, Thank you
The small grade-schooler, Mizushima Karen-san, replies in tears.
Do you mind, Kaan-sama? Why not? What about Takahama products?
Kaan-san asks Misuzu.
Takahama house doesn’t have many ties with Kouzuki house. I think that she’s closer to Kaan-sama’s house?
Misuzu passes the ball to Kaan-san.
Right. Then, you can do what you want with her everyone
She smiled.
However, don’t roast them too much. Takahama house still belongs to nobility, we mustn’t kill them off
Kaan-san smiled at Misuzu.
Basically the same with Kurama house and Mizushima house
In short.
Kurama and Mizushima house aren’t gonna have their life as nobility cut off completely.
That is for Grandfather to decide
Misuzu said. Then she pats Mizushima Karen-san’s cute cheeks.
But, you’ll be fine. I will protect you
Misuzu’s eyes show the fire of lust from inside her.
Right, Misuzu-sama has that hobby
Kaan-san tells Karen-san, who seems nervous.
She’s such a cute girl, be sure to give her lots of love I will
Misuzu smiles.
From that line, I think Kaan-san is also a lesbian?
But, I still couldn’t understand why you chose that
Kaan-san said and looked at me.
How do you do, I’m Kaan Momoko
She smiled at me.
L-Likewise. Kuromori Kou
I greeted her back.
Hmm. So Kozuki-kakka accepted you as Misuzu-sama’s fiance?
She stares at me.
Yes, he did
I replied.
Hey, Misuzu-sama. I would like to ask what part of him do you like?
Kaan-san cuts to the chase.
I’m happy whenever I’m with him
Misuzu replied immediately.
I feel safe whenever I’m by Danna-sama’s side Oh? That’s a surprising reply
Kaan-san said.
I thought that this man has captured Misuzu-sama with his manly charms
You mean?
I took Misuzu over through sexual addiction?
I mean, he’s not a born nobility, is he?
Kaan-san smiles.
As the young lady of Kaan house, I had my resolve to marry another nobility, but. Unfortunately, Kouzuki house has no son and heir, and so I had to pick my husband
Misuzu replied immediately.
And since Grandfather accepted Danna-sama, that’s how it is.
Jii-chan’s next in line is Misuzu’s father, but.
Jii-chan has no grandsons, only granddaughters.
Therefore, Kouzuki house had to adopt a son-in-law from another family, but.
But, I.
I can understand that but, I cannot see him having the talent to succeed such nobility as Kouzuki house
No, you’re right about that.
I mean, I just want to run a bakery.
Kouzuki house is a big clan. It rivals the Kaan house and Kanou-san in lineage. Thee noble among the nobility. A family who leads the nobility itself. And so, deciding the next head shouldn’t be a decision within Kouzuki house itself. That’s what I firmly believe in, but.
She smiled provocatively to Misuzu.
When I will marry someday, I will choose a partner that other nobility will accept
Oh right.
She accepted Misuzu’s invitation today and went to Kouzuki house for this.
But, Misuzu-sama chose someone who isn’t nobility, a person with doubtful origins, without us knowing. I’m surprised, astounded even
Misuzu doesn’t break her smile.
This is a fight between both young ladies of nobility.
And so, I came here today with the thought of seeing the face of the man Misuzu-sama chose
I knew it.
Oh, by the way. The part where Kouzuki house would like to gather up and train our bodyguards, please do so freely. I don’t think it will do us bad. Well, the Kaan house’s bodyguards are perfect, so I will not join. But for everyone else, you’re free to ask for Kouzuki-sama’s cooperation She told the girls in the courtyard, smiling. It is as expected of Kouzuki house to think for the whole nobility. We will leave that bothersome case to them. Kaan house has more things to consider
She speaks sarcastically.
She arrived this late, after the discussion with the bodyguards.
It’s to show that the Kaan house has no interest.
Thank you. But, I believe that it will benefit Kaan-sama if you participate as well
Misuzu responded with a smile.
Oh, why? My Sebastianus can deal with Kyouko Messer
Kaan-san points at her tall bodyguard dressed in male clothing.
The bodyguard bows her head.
See? She’s beautiful, isn’t she? She looks like Hijiri Sebastian, right? That’s why I call her Sebastianus
Kaan-san said.
Adding anus to her name sounds great, right?
Err.
I don’t get what Kaan-san’s hobbies are.
Right, Sebastianus, you can win against Misuzu-sama’s bodyguard, Kouzuki SS, or Kyouko Messer, right?
The bodyguard asked by her Master.
If Momoko-ojousama orders, then I will
She speaks in a low tone.
She glared at Michi and Edie.
Shou-neechan and everyone ignore that.
If she’s that confident, I think that she knows Qi at least.
Even so, I don’t think she will win against Kyouko-san.
Yamada Umeko will bring victory to Ojou-sama, even if it costs my life
Yamada Umeko.
Yamada Umeko is showing off with a pose to Kaan-san.
Sebastianus, that’s your real name Excuse me
O-Oh.
She’s so muscular and strong-looking, but her name is Yamada Umeko.
I mean, is she strong?
Now then, let’s return to the topic
Kaan-san looks at me again after getting excited.
This man.Oh, I already forgot your name
She speaks sarcastically.
Well, I don’t care. You’re not nobility anyway
Looks like her plan is to look down on me
I was watching the video from a separate room on the situation in the courtyard for today, but.
Kaan Momoko looked at the young ladies in the courtyard and said.
Kouzuki Kakka was talking to him, was he?
Oh.
Jii-chan came here to show himself talking to me on purpose.
I didn’t intend to eavesdrop in the conversation, but since Kouzuki Kakka was talking, I couldn’t help but do it. Forgive me
Jii-chan and my conversation.
But, it disappointed me, or should I say that it surprised me?
Kaan-san continues her trap.
After all, Kouzuki Kakka is directly teaching the man who will become Misuzu-sama’s husband, I surely thought that the conversation would be in management philosophy or the latest economics debate.
Philosophy? Debate?
But, Kouzuki-sama is giving him such a low-level story, it made me laugh. It made me wonder if he’s not embarrassed to have that conversation while everyone’s watching
That was low level?
No, I think that Kouzuki Kakka has more wonderful topics to choose from. I watched Kakka’s lessons with his students. Those were terrific topics, covering the latest theories, modern financial system and such Well, Jii-chan’s teaching them about the enterprise.
They’ll get to that.
Jii-chan’s students will become supporters of the Kouzki group. They’re the children of Kouzuki group leaders, after all.
But I.
Then, is that how it is? Kouzuki Kakka teaching you some low-level stuff, does that mean that your level is too low?
Kaan-san asks me.
Kaan-sama, you’re going too far.
Misuzu tries to stop Kaan-san, but.
No, it’s okay. Misuzu
I stopped Misuzu.
Danna-sama
If we get angry, we lose.
Kaan-san wants us to get angry.
And she wants to laugh at us when our emotions rise up.
Sure, Jii-chan is matching with my level. My, to think that someone as honorable as Kouzuki Kakka gets dragged to that level But, I don’t think of it as low level
I stopped Kaan-san from speaking.
Oh, for commoners like you, everything is high-level
Kaan-san tries to stir me up.
However.
That’s because I’m starting up a business just now
I said.
Making pastries in school and selling them in the cafeteria is a proper business.
Jii-chan gives me the necessary advice for my current business. And that’s not low-level for me
Kaan-san smiles.
Oh? If it’s business, then I do have some too. I do stocks, and I started three companies already
Oh, she’s proud that she’s teaching Torii-san about stocks.
And I’m 17. What’s your age? 16
I replied.
See? It’s just one year difference. One year ago, I was already starting up my business, and I already read various business and finance books before. If we’re talking about your level, I already graduated elementary Kaan-san speaks triumphantly. Therefore, I don’t know what kind of business you do, but you can’t refute me if you want to talk about business. You need to at least have the same knowledge as me
Oh.
I see. She’s dissatisfied that someone with a doubtful origin is getting inside Kouzuki house.
Naturally, the Kaan house can’t interfere with Jii-chan’s decision.
They’re from a different clan after all.
And so, she’s trying to make me look like a fool.
Making the young ladies think, Is Misuzu-sama okay with that person?
She’s creating an atmosphere to make sure I go away.
Kaan-san, you’re still in high school, right?
I asked.
You! How dare you not call Ojou-sama without respect
Yamada Umeko-san tells me.
I don’t mind, Sebastianus. It’s wrong to expect etiquette from someone low-leveled
Kaan Momoko-san replied.
I think you already know that I’m still in high school. If I wasn’t, then I shouldn’t have been invited to Misuzu-sama’s party
The students in Misuzu’s super-high-class-lady school are attending this party.
Elementary, middle, and high school.
Misuzu’s school has no college, and the young ladies who attend universities have professional males ad their bodyguards. So nobody higher than high school attends this party.
And you manage three companies while in high school?
I asked. Kaan-san.
What about it? A manager only needs to give instructions. I see no problem. If I get an idea, I give directions. I get reports, and give approval Well, I don’t know what Kaan-san’s companies are but, who is the one selling and arranging plans? Obviously the employees
Kaan-san replies with a dumbfounded look.
Do you not know that? Well, Kaan-san, have you ever met the suppliers or the customers directly? I couldn’t possibly have done that. Oh, but I do meet the president of the major company clients. Also, I have traveled together with my Father to meet people from the Main Bank
Hmm?
Wait a second. That means that Kaan-san only gives instructions from above? That’s right. After all, I’m the manager Oh, I see I see what? I’m managing a company’s internet mail order, but I have no need to know what my customers’ order or their delivery duties
Kaan-san said.
Huh? So when you started your company, you never took an order and delivered one yourself? As I said earlier, why do I have to?
Kaan-san shouted.
That’s what employers are for!
yeah.
Besides, my company has a storehouse in the countryside. The land is cheaper compared to the city. Therefore, the person who took the order will contact the person in the storehouse; and the storehouse delivers it. I have school so I can’t go to the storehouse in the countryside!
Kaan-san speaks as if she’s spitting out.
She got dragged to Darling’s pace
Edie smiles from my back.
In short, Kaan-san’s business is where you look down on your people and give them instructions, right? I don’t understand what you mean? That’s what management means!
I.
No, for me, I experience all of it Experience? Yes. I start from ordering materials, manufacturing the products, to selling, and I also clean up the workshop
I replied.
what kind of business is that?
Kaan-san looks like she doesn’t understand.
My business is a bakery Bakery? Yes. I buy yeast and flour myself, make the dough, bake it.recently, I have others help me sell the products, but I did sell them myself at first
I speak honestly.
Why? Is that your hobby?
Kaan-san asks.
No, I’m just serious about my business. I intend to develop it to become larger in the future Then why don’t you leave it to others! Both baking and selling. You can concentrate on finding out which products sell and not and instruct them which ones to make and sell, can’t you?
Kaan-san talks on in one breath.
No matter how you think about it, there are people better than you at baking bread. You can hire professionals. You don’t have to go crazy at doing everything in your business
Then.
Experiencing the whole process is useful in the future Who?
Kaan-san turned to the voice that speaks suddenly.
In there is.
I don’t intend to name myself. I came here under Kouzuki-sama’s orders
Minaho-neesan?
Kouzuki Kakka’s?
Kaan-san is surprised.
Yes. He ordered me to punish the impudent troublesome lady who’s making a ruckus in the courtyard
Minaho-neesan smiles.
She’s showing a smile much more malicious than Kaan-san.
Chapter 863. High Life About Workers
Punish me? You?
Kaan-san smiles wryly.
Yes. That’s his orders
Minaho-neesan’s cold smile never breaks.
I have been listening from your conversation from the side, but, Kaan-sama is currently in high school, and you’re managing three companies already That’s right. And all of the companies are in surplus, growing
Kaan-san said proudly.
Well, that’s something so pitiful Pitiful?
Minaho-neesan said. Kaan-san got hooked.
I’m not pitiful. I’m doing well in studies while I manage the company, and I’m also in the student council. I don’t have club activities, but I enjoy trading on the other hand. I’m still okay despite all that. As you can see, I’m still lively Kaan-san said with a smile. Well, you’re so busy, and yet, can you really manage three companies with that? Didn’t I say it earlier? Manager’s job is only to make decisions, and so I receive mail reports every day and send instructions via mail. If I come up with a new idea, then I’ll send another mail. I only need to meet the people in the company a few times, and all the other direct business are dealt with my talented staff Minaho-neesan laughs. And that is why I also said that it’s pitiful
Huh.
I feel sorry for Kaan-sama’s employees what do you mean by that?
Kaan-san is offended.
It is as I say. They had to accomplish all tasks to satisfy the moody and selfish high school girl. Furthermore, they cannot fail as it will embarrass the young lady of the Kaan house. They also had to make earnings from your absurd proposals Hey, you’re impolite!
The party turns quiet.
They suddenly look, wondering who’s that woman picking a fight with the young lady of Kaan house.
Who do you think I am? I’m not playing around with business! My father and grandfather both raised me with knowledge, I know more than you when it comes to managing a business!
It looks like the daughter of Kaan house is proud that her family earns from banks and heavy and chemical industries.
I wonder if that’s true?
Minaho-neesan said.
A few years ago, a certain chairman of a great company, caused a big problem because he used billions on a casino in Macau, do you know that? Oh, there was that scandal. If I recall, he’s a family member of the founder of a large manufacturing company
Kaan-san knows the incident.
He’s indeed the stupid son of the founder of the enterprise, the president kicked him out, then he got addicted to gambling that he ended in disgrace. If I recall, He repaid for the loss by selling his shares, but in the end, he got imprisoned for aggravated breach of trust Kaan-san explained. What I noticed in that scandal is that the stupid son stayed in that casino in Macau for months and gambled all the time
Minaho-neesan said.
To think that the president of such a huge company.No, it should’ve been several months before the scandal came to light when the chairman inaugurated in office. I wonder what was he doing in management Why would I know?
Kaan-san refutes.
Perhaps it’s similar to what Kaan-sama’s doing. A fool who sullies their family’s prestige, receiving emails from the company, and sending mails of instructions. All while merrily gambling in Macau. And then, thinking that sending and receiving mails is all there is to it in managing companies Minaho-neesan said. Are you telling me that I’m doing the same thing as that person?
Kaan-san glared at Minaho-neesan.
I will not say that, but there’s not much difference. If you can’t perform business affairs, then the subordinates are the ones desperately dealing with it
The subordinates deal with it?
The majority of what you do in business is a trifle. Boring. Not a big deal. You don’t seem to understand why they still do that despite its lack of significance
Minaho-neesan said.
When making a deal with another company, there are multiple processes from creating the contract to signing it. It’s nothing but troublesome tasks. The person in charge did well in negotiations, but he still has to meet his superior and explain the details. Waiting for a few days before getting the approval That’s just a foolish tradition. A bad tradition in Japan’s business world, and something our generation will surpass
Kaan-san said.
It makes me wonder how can a young lady who never had personal experience in doing any bothersome work can say that
Minaho-neesan smiles wryly.
I mean, it’s trivial and a waste of time. Business is better if done quickly! The decision of the heads has to reach the other end right away
Kaan-san declares.
Nowadays, we can use mail to send instructions from the top to every end and nooks. Most people don’t understand how many business chances are lost because they do all the trivial tasks without the top knowing!
Yeah, if you use mail, then.
You can deliver the instructions of the manager to all company employees right away.
Those working on-site can contact the manager directly.
However.
Kaan-sama, did you know that your way of thinking is called a business that exploits it’s employees, to grow themselves in a decade
Minaho-neesan said.
What are you trying to say? It’s simple. The manager does whatever he wants and just send instructions by mail if he comes up with an idea I only need to give instructions to those working on-site to report if they notice anything that can improve business! Actually, they send in improvement ideas every day! That’s their duty after all. But, they would never send any improvement ideas that will oppose the manager directly. Or rather, does that report come in every day? One of my subordinates gather up the ideas employees present and then send it to me
Kaan-san replies.
That means, they omit anything that shouldn’t attract Kaan-sama’s attention That’s not true? I think you should think about it
Minaho-neesan smiles.
Also, Kaan-sama does manage an e-commerce company, but what ratio are you using for regular and contractual employees? Huh? I don’t think that it’s all regular employees who are in charge of accepting orders from customers, or sending the items to them
Minaho-neesan’s cold gaze pierces Kaan-san.
Well, they should use them. I don’t know how many but I know about contracting temporary employees. i can find that out quickly with a single mail
It looks like she’s not interested in the details.
Then, you mentioned earlier about business improvement ideas, but, have you seen ideas from contractual employees? ?
Kaan-san’s speechless.
Perhaps the man working at the storehouse, sending the orders are 90% contractual workers. If you’re practically not listening to their duties, then could you really improve work conditions? that’s.the regular employees on-site should’ve reported their opinions. And has Kaan-sama seen such reports?
Minaho-neesan asks.
That’s.
Kaan-san falters.
This problem originates when the manager is under the impression that they understand the company from top to bottom. It’s not the case. Most managers don’t know anything about the real condition on-site of the employees working for them Managers don’t know what’s going on-site? For example, if it’s online shopping, there’s revenue as soon as the product reaches the customer, and so the most necessary part is the logistics in the warehouse and their delivery. Making sure that they don’t make a mistake in the order received, and the product reaches the customer without damage. It’s the core of the business. Everything else is linked to the goods Minaho-neesan said. If that’s the case, is it correct to use resources to improve the skills of the workers in the logistics warehouse? I thought, but in reality, warehouses are dirty, and people who work there have low pay, and it’s absurd to see that the money isn’t used practically and is instead used on creating a useless office building. Do you know why?
Kaan-san;
You’re saying that managers are indifferent with bears actual profits? That’s what I think
Kaan-san ponders.
But, the work at the warehouse is only to pick up the item ordered, box it, and deliver it, right? That’s a job that needs no skill However, people with such exist. No matter how much we computerize everything, the last job will always be something humans have to do. Therefore, you need to hire humans However, controlling labor costs is crucial in business!
Minaho-neesan.
That’s a line someone who knows the labor employees do and know the real state of their workplace will never say you can say that, but still. You reduce the labor costs but increase the service for the customers. A company has to continue gathering more new customers using a strong appeal. Thinking, if one comes up with an idea, carry it out right away. Then employees work more as the manager tells them. Not even billing them overtime pay. If you’re going to complain, then stop. We have more people who want to work here. If you’re so inclined, we can call for foreigner employees Oh, that’s the logic of businesses that exploit their employees. I don’t manage that horribly Well, we’ll never know that because Kaan-sama never asks the other end of the chain
Minaho-neesan speaks clearly.
Or should I say that you’ll never understand unless you try to work with the employees for at least a day together with the employees? No, you’ll never understand it unless you take a day with them. But, if you find out how much their wage is after working in a day, you’ll be able to understand various things. How much do they receive in a month? How can they live their lives with that amount of money But, I’m the daughter of Kaan house. Putting me in together with those people is. You mentioned, Those people, didn’t you?
Minaho-neesan’s eyes glitter.
It’s Kaan-sama’s company, it’s the one you’re managing! Can you really look down on them and just call them those people? i.
Kaan-san looks confused.
Anyone with capital can start up a business in modern Japan. For example, if I want to start up a hotel right now, I can ask a hotel business consultant. I can look for a place to construct the hotel, wonder what kind of building it will become, present plans on what I desire, and the specialists will create a blueprint for it. Once the hotel is constructed, I can gather employees, train them, and give them manuals and instructions to run a hotel. A few years after opening a business, I can hire a manager who can administer everything on track Some people will do that from top to toe as long as there’s money. Therefore, I can go with my selfish complains about I want the hotel to be like this, or I want to change that, or I hate this, I want something else, As long as I have the funds that is
Minaho-neesan said.
It applies the same to restaurants. If I have funds, then I can leave everything to the consultant and just tell him, I want this, I want that. Especially when gathering chefs. It’s the same, even if I want a bigger diner chain. If I have some concept I thought about, then I can have people work to make it real. I can recruit partime workers and have them do all the advertising Do they exist? You know. Recently, most corporations try out other business types, right? The most common case is starting up a shop or a restaurant, but if you ask why they start without knowing a lot in that business, it’s because consultant companies specialized for that exist I see. And, currently, with Kaan-sama’s company, aren’t you the same with people who use consultants? My business?
Kaan-san gasps.
After all, Kaan-sama’s subordinates is the one doing everything to make sure that Kaan-sama’s company is doing well. They need superior personnel to not let Kaan-sama embarrass herself. Promising them better treatment from the main office someday They have to make achievements, so the company of the young lady of the Kaan house doesn’t collapse.
Therefore, they send competent personnel.
Well, in practice, I think that Kaan-sama’s management decisions and ideas lead the company to better, most of the time, but, I also believe that the company will progress without a problem, even without Kaan-sama Minaho-neesan chuckled. A school girl attending lessons and having student council activities shouldn’t be able to manage a company at her spare time ! It’s common for managers to have no free time during weekdays. Most businesses operate from 9am to 5pm after all
Deals, where it will never move forward unless the president meets up, are inevitable.
The president is a high school student. It would be rude of the employees to ask her to come during weekends or evenings during overwork hours.
Even if she has the power of Kaan house.
Kaan-sama, what you’re doing isn’t managing a company, it’s just a management-like play
Minaho-neesan speaks clearly.
Naturally, I think that this management-like play will be a good experience for Kaan-sama in the future. Even if it’s a small quantity, it was an opportunity to make contact with society. But in the end, if you don’t understand that it was not actual business management but a make-believe play, then you will trip yourself Kaan-san. How dare you go that far with your bold statements If it angers you, then I apologize
Minaho-neesan says without showing guilt.
There’s no need to apologize. I agree with you. I might’ve been too optimistic
Kaan-san sighs.
I mean, I’m sad that someone outside my family made it clear with me O-Onee-sama!
Torii-san pats Kaan-san’s back.
Thanks, Mariko
However, there’s still light of strong will in Kaan-san’s eyes.
She glared at Minaho-neesan.
But still, I haven’t heard you talk about Kuromori-sama!
Me?
I understood my problem. I will show that I can correct myself. Putting that aside, Kuromori-sama’s doing everything by himself in his business, what is your say about that?
Yeah, Kaan-san, who sends instructions via mail, letting her subordinates do everything.
She wants to compare it to me, who does everything myself.
Indeed.
Minaho-neesan looked at me.
What do you think now that you’ve tried everything out yourself first?
My bakery.
Katsuko-nee’s helping me out, but.
At first, I was alone.
It’s just Megu and me selling the products.
Then, Nei and others came in to help.
Katsuko-nee is now also in the shop.
Kana-senpai and Ai are helping me out.
Agnes, Mana, and Ruriko are making the cheaper pastries.
I understood that I could do it alone
I replied.
I don’t need to shoulder everything alone, ask for help
I look at Kaan-san.
It made me consider that I should ask people with technical skills to do work for me, just like Kaan-san
I mean.
My bakery has changed.
When I opened it up during September, it was called Yoshida’s bakery, or the bakery of the first-year guy who’s engaged.
When Katsuko-nee showed up, then it became Katsuko-san’s bakery.
Now, it’s Katsuko-san and Ai-chan’s bakery.
Ai-chan corner, is a spot where the pastry Ai makes are placed, and it’s a competition there every time.
I heard that the 190 yen bread is getting sold like they’re in the black market, and it raises the price to 3200 yen.
If it means that you get to eat the pastry handmade by the cutest girl among the first-years.
Furthermore, Ai’s slow, so her products are limited every day.
Although Ai is getting better.
I think that she has a talent for this.
She thinks slowly and deliberately, and so it takes a lot of time.
I understood that the idea of I am myself, and I have to do this myself were wrong
Yes, it doesn’t matter if it’s not recognized as my bakery.
It can stay as Katsuko-san and Ai-chan’s bakery.
What’s important is that we continuously produce delicious products and we make profits.
So, you think that you can develop what you have to a bigger business? Well, of course,
I’m training for the bakery.
Then, you’ll need to hire people if you want to expand your business someday. Your body alone cannot possibly push out all the work
I will need to hire people to make the dough, bake, and sell the pastry.
If Katsuko-nee opens up a second shop, then I’ll have twice the personnel.
No, we’ll need someone as our shop manager, replacing Katsuko-nee and me.
That’s true To be frank, if you found someone better than you in baking, then you should leave the work to him I get that
And that applies to vendors too.
Katsuko-nee and Nei, the beauties sell more compared to me.
Or should I say that it’s better if I don’t show up instead?
Even in our products, Ai makes less, but hers sell better than mine.
It’s possible that you still do bakery business, but you’re no longer the person in manufacturing and sales. Naturally, if you expand your business, there’s more work, but you don’t need to do it all Yeah, delivering the materials on each store, for example.
If we reached a large scale, then I don’t have to make any sales.
If we have a cafeteria and restaurants as our market, then there’s no need for me to deliver it.
Right. I thought that it might happen
These jobs don’t need it to be me specifically.
I don’t need to do everything that I can.
If that’s the case, then wouldn’t everything that you’ve learned about the bakery become useless?
Minaho-neesan asks.
I don’t think so. I believe that it’s all necessary experience. At least, I won’t be ignorant of what they do in the bakery
I replied.
Be it the wheat flour or yeast, I have the knowledge on who to get in touch, the amount to procure, and when the materials will deliver. That also applies in the procedure of making pastries. I know the labor cost of each item and the time it takes to make it. I also know what the reaction will be when they sell it. I have learned a lot I look at Kaan-san. It’s something you’ll never know from emails what?
Kaan-san looks at me blankly.
No, the view you see from the mail was a compilation of all the views on-site sent to you, right? Along with all the data
I start talking.
My bakery also has data recorded. Which ones did sell and which ones weren’t that popular
Katsuko-nee takes notes of which sold out the fastest.
We listen to our customers. Which do they like, what their thoughts with the new products and such
It’s not just Megu and I talking to friends; Katsuko-nee now speaks to the students with a bright atmosphere around her.
Kana-senpai is famous, it’s easy for her to grab people to answer a survey.
But those impressions are slightly off from reality, well, you know, people’s thoughts and speech are somewhat off from each other Off?
Kaan-san looks at me.
For example, those who replied, I like the new one, and in reality, the sales of the product isn’t that great. And someone can say that it’s not great, but it gets sold out fast, but it’s slightly slower than other famous products I said. Our bakery has cameras all over so I can see the hands of the customers while they pick which they would buy. Then, I see the customer thinking of which one to choose. They’re hesitating, and so they try out the product everyone says they like. And that spreads out. But, most of them come back to what they prefer. Seeing that made me understand what’s the problem Err. People’s thoughts have those moments where it just bursts with Huh? I’m taking lessons from Kudou arts so I can sense it recently, no, well, I’m still in 6th kyu, but when the person in front of me had their thought burst out, I can sense what they’re feeling Oh. I think that intuition is necessary. That makes it hard to understand if it’s just a compilation mail from a subordinate. You need to feel the customer, or should I say the person in front of you That’s right. Therefore, I believe that going on-site is essential. You need to feel the customers directly. Their thoughts and speech are slightly misaligned after all
Then.
i think the same way!
Kuromiya-san suddenly stood up and shouted.
I’m fond of martial arts, and so I believe that it’s necessary to be in front of the person!
No, look.
The scales have fallen off my eyes from that conversation, my heart is clear!
That’s not what I’m trying to say, but.
Now, do you understand why Grandfather was having that conversation with Danna-sama?
Misuzu speaks to Kaan-san.
Danna-sama is developing his management intuition
intuition?
Chapter 864. High Life I’m an idio
What do you mean by intuition?
Kaan-san asks in return.
It’s ‘inspiration. It’s much more precious than any economics theory or business knowledge
Misuzu replies.
What can develop the company for the better? What can do worse? Do you back off from the deal because it’s dangerous, or would you go sink or swim? In the end, it all depends on the manager’s inspiration Minaho-neesan tells Kaan-san. Then, that intuition is something you’ll acquire if you aren’t on-site to face people during the transactions. You can’t sharpen your own perception if you can’t sense what makes people’s thoughts burst. Even if you have superior management sense, if you’re far from the scene, then your intuition will dull. That’s crucial in business world Oh, I get that
I.
I bake pastries every day and sell them, and the customers’ reactions convey directly
Kaan-san looks at me.
Like, which products do the customers prefer and which ones they don’t like. Also, if there’s a product not loved, but a little bit of improvement will make it popular, and I can sense the minor details like that Also. When I started up my bakery, I had a bit of misunderstanding Misunderstanding?
Kaan-san repeats.
Yes. A misunderstanding. I purchase bread for my consumption, too, don’t I? So I thought that I knew what the customers want. Thinking that I’m also a customer So you looked from the perspective of the customer?
Kaan-san asks me.
No, it’s nothing that bothersome. Anyway, I just thought that I know it all. Even though I don’t know anything
I’m desperately trying to speak out my thoughts.
In reality, after I opened up my shop, everything I thought and expected was different
I’m just a first-year high-school student.
Therefore, I thought that if I make this, I’m sure everyone will like it. I made such plans.
But.
Those I expected to sell well weren’t that popular a tall. I was wrong. My expectations were different from reality Reality? That’s right. Different from what the customers really want. When I found that out, I adapted to reality and made products that will sell
I said. Kaan-san.
I wonder? Shouldn’t you persist with your preference instead? Sell what you think is delicious. Sooner or later, the buyers will understand your taste. It would be too late by then. My shop will close down. It can’t sustain as a business
I said.
Customers aren’t people you raise by yourself. Right now, the customers living in this moment are the people who buy my products. If I don’t keep them company, I won’t make money
I need to offer the students in school what they want to eat.
Well, in pastry, there are cases where the bread with slightly more yeast, or products that should taste better, but; But you shouldn’t think what I want to make and sell, but what the customers want to buy I said. Kaan-san. That differs from my thoughts. For me, the business needs to be my ideal. The idea of I want to make this, or I want to sell this is much more necessary. I want to spread out my sense and what I see as beautiful. Call it my ideal. I want the world to accept what I see as attractive if they look closely. That is why I want to start a business like that Oh, I see.
She.
I can understand your view, but.
Her business has nothing but herself.
Kaan-san’s business will never support your family Family?
Kaan-san’s surprised.
You need to earn daily for your family. If not, they can’t eat. They won’t have clothes. Going to school also needs money, and you have to give them pocket money, don’t you? What are you talking about?
Kaan-san’s eyes opened wide.
I knew it, she doesn’t think about that.
She thinks that managing a company is nothing but a game.
Danna-sama is talking about all the employees working for the company
Misuzu said.
Ideals are precious, but the employees have their life. They have a family. Managers mustn’t forget about the workers I know that. I too.
Kaan-san mumbles.
If that’s the case, you do understand that constant profits take priority over the manager’s ideals, right?
Misuzu said.
i do. That view, yes But, recently, most companies stray off because their manager wants to pursue their ideals
Minaho-neesan smiles.
We should’ve offered this service, or I’m sure that if you do this, the customers will be pleased, we will earn profits! And pushing their own ideals, messing up the whole place. Giving orders to do only that kind of work and not confirm if it works or not, bankrupting the company in the process. Forcing such action when there are not enough employees because they don’t know the ropes in business. Forcing everything to the employees Managers who never faced their customers.
If such people force their ideals, of course, it will collapse.
Oh, so that’s what creates a business that exploits its employees.
Most idiotic managers like that turn over to politicians, right? It’s the same. They dream of their ideals, give orders from above, and change things to their liking. They hardly have an interest in what the ordinary people wish for Minaho-neesan said. Kaan-san gasps. Be careful that your company doesn’t become like that
Minaho-neesan smiles.
thank you for the advice
Kaan-san replies discontentedly.
Anyway, I understand now why Kouzuki Kakka was guiding Kuromori-sama gently
Jii-chan’s guiding me?
That’s not the case
Suddenly, a voice comes from the speakers.
This voice.It’s Jii-chan.
That was a fascinating conversation. I thought that it would be impolite of me to Kaan house and their young lady if I don’t talk now
The girls in the courtyard got nervous.
It implies that the head of Kouzuki house is watching the whole situation.
I sent over Minaho-kun as a cushion to give you a test
Minaho-neesan’s appearance was a test?
I wanted to see what kind of attitude you will have with Minaho-kun
Kaan-san looks at Minaho-neesan, startled.
Would you listen to a woman who suddenly appears and says that she’s there because I told her to? Would you listen to what she has to say? Or would you ignore her and refuse to listen to her?
Jii-chan said.
For me, I think that one should listen to what others have to say earnestly, regardless of their status. Naturally, liars exist. People who will try to deceive you. However, as members of the nobility, you must stay gentlemanly and ladylike. Maintaining your refined attitude is a must, isn’t it? i’m very sorry
Kaan-san apologized.
Right, Kaan-san listened to Minaho-neesan, but her attitude isn’t nice.
Kanou-san was at least listening properly.
You didn’t see the merit of Minaho-kun’s talk, do you? You didn’t sense that it would be a beneficial lesson in your management and in your life, did you?\ that’s not true. It’s just that.her views are different than mine, so I found out that they exist too You should value the opinions of others!
Jii-chan said.
That’s the greater problem in current Japan. They’re intolerant of people who have a different opinion than them
People who have a different opinion than them
Japanese people nowadays look down on people who think differently than themselves. It’s wrong to believe that people who have a different view than yourself are inferior, that they must think the same way as themselves Oh. I see.
I think A, that guy thinks B. He must be an idiot for not understanding something so easy, so many people think that way now.
People see differently from their position. If we’re to use your conversation, managers and the end-employees have a different place. They have different worries. They have different things to do, and various thoughts Jii-chan speaks. There is the pressure where you have to pay all of your employees their salary. There are shareholders for companies. If it’s a long-standing company, then I cannot break it. Companies have retired people who worked for them for years. If I destroy that company, it won’t affect just the employees and shareholders. It will also disrupt the elderly who worked for that company long ago. Naturally, it will cause trouble with transactions. If my company were to create chain bankruptcy, then multiple lives will collapse I have never thought of that before
Kaan-san said.
Of course you don’t. If you’re playing with three companies, then your family will deal with it if you reached your limits
Kaan-san’s family has a large industrial enterprise, Memoru Group.
However, that won’t work with most companies in this society. Hiring a person means that you have to defend that person and their family’s livelihood. Naturally, it applies to your own family as well. If it’s just a small trade where you manage it by yourself, you can do whatever you please. However, if you involve another person, then you have responsibilities. You mustn’t forget that yes! Kakka!
Kaan-san replies.
Hmm, now that I’m the one talking, you listen enthusiastically i’m sorry Oh well. Let’s return to the topic
Jii-chan paused.
Managers do have responsibilities and worries. That also applies to administrative posts. Executives, officer, section manager, section chief, subsection head, the officer in charge, each position has its own worries. They’re not wasting their time playing around. Work isn’t all fun and games, it has hardships as well. Frustrations. Irritations. Even I experience that every day Jii-chan, the head of Kouzuki house, can’t do anything as he sees fit. Nevertheless, the Japanese people today have been in a different position, and so they see from a different perspective. Their worries are different. Their thoughts are different. For me, I think that one has to discern that different from others and accept it Jii-chan? Superiors are under the impression that subordinates who don’t understand them are idiots. Why can’t they follow simple instructions? And then think that the subordinates who can’t do their orders properly are lacking in skill. The young ones today are useless, and such yeah. But, the subordinates think, Why do I have to do something so trivial? I could do this better, it’s the impression where those who think differently are idiots. Thinking that person doesn’t understand it at all Oh. I get that. However, if the superior and subordinate are together, they will look down on someone else. The higher-ups don’t understand, business partners are worthless, The other department only has stupid people, the newcomers this year are all useless, our company president is helpless and such The superior and subordinate mutually look down on each other, and yet.
But when they’re together, they look down on someone else.
They think that they are correct. That they’re the clever ones. Therefore, they see people who think differently than them as idiots
Jii-chan’s voice gently echoes.
And people like that are increasing. I’m the one who knows. I’m the right one. Therefore, people who think differently than me are idiots I think it is as you say
Kaan-san mutters.
I give advice on my subordinates in the company, and yet, they don’t pay attention, thinking She doesn’t understand, I’m the right one here The directors in your company are yes-men who just accept everything you tell them, don’t they?
Jii-chan asks. Kaan-san.
that’s. They do exist. This young lady of Kaan house is looking down on us. It’s much better if I just went Yes-man if she won’t accept whatever we say. Kaan house won’t have to glare at me. Let’s just think that this young lady is the start of my success, and such. Naturally, they hardly care about you or your company Boot lickers only think about how they can succeed in life. And yes-man like them act recklessly as the manager. Earlier, you all were talking about the company president using the profits for gambling.
Oh, the guy who used a 100 million yen in a casino in Macau.
If he didn’t have a yes-man subordinate, then it wouldn’t have happened. If it’s a proper business, someone will notice it and will not let that happen. Illegal use of money shouldn’t go unnoticed. Furthermore, the related party in the company should be aware that it’s illegal to use that money that way. Yes-man will only say, It’s okay. We can just adjust the story to fit with the situation and so the founder and relatives Right.
Without cooperative workers, or people who push from behind.
One can’t selfishly use the money of group business.
I might’ve been leading myself to failure
Kaan-san said.
She happens to know the yes-man in her company.
It’s the age where people see each other as idiots. Where Everyone other than me is an idiot, And usually, they shout their dissatisfaction that they are right to people with a higher standing than them. They think of that inside their mind, but they can’t complain except to his group. But in big companies, there’s hardly anyone hiding their dissatisfaction. Worse, the yes-man boosts their ego, and so they see that everyone in the world is inferior to himself. All the customers, clients, and employees are idiots. Recently, such managers are increasing Jii-chan said. Let me give you a fun example. After the war, there’s only one prime minister that graduated from the University of Tokyo Oh, that one
Misuzu noticed it right away.
I don’t know about it, though.
The prime minister is.I feel sorry to say, but it’s better if they should graduate from the third-ranked university. They’re people with high academic achievement, so they should listen to people. Be it explaining to bureaucrats, or listening to various people’s opinions, then they make a decision. They know that they’re not that smart. However, when politicians have high academic achievement, they think; I don’t have to listen to your opinion, I already know, and despite not being a specialist, they make their own decision for themselves, move, and misguide the whole country If one thinks they’re smart, they don’t listen to other people’s opinions. Government officials have plenty of knowledge and experience in their field. Therefore, they shouldn’t become yes-man, but instead, they should use their skill and expertise. If the specialist has a different opinion, then put it to use. Listening to diverse views will never go to waste Jii-chan said. It is painfully true
Kaan-san replies.
I know that I’m a man who can’t do anything. I’m not smart, and I don’t have the sense kouzuki Kakka! No, that’s the truth. I do not have that management intuition that a young man had acquired. I’m born heir of the Kouzuki house, and so I never started a business where I stood in front of my customers Jii-chan. What do the ordinary customers want? What products do I create? I don’t know those. I also know well that I live very far apart from the ordinary citizens
He’s the head of Kouzuki house, a family that has the lineage and assets.
I only experienced the life of ordinary people was when I was in Kyoto university for four years. Furthermore, in those four years, I understood that I am different, that I do not have the same sense as the ordinary people I hear Jii-chan’s sigh from the speakers. Therefore, I always employ someone who is smarter than myself and is rich in a management sense. Currently, that is Shiba-kun
Shiba-san, the one who replaced Jii-chan as the manager of the Kouzuki group.
He’s someone with a better skill than myself. Knowing that I hired him. I respect his opinions, and he also wants my respect. All I could do is to be watchful to that he doesn’t split the Kouzuki group and become self-supporting. That is why I satisfy his desires when it comes to treatment and salary Shiba-san’s careful with Jii-chan. Jii-chan’s careful with Shiba-san as well. And other top management are like that. They all are people who are much smarter and skilled than me. Without those people, I couldn’t protect Kouzuki group And that’s what’s splendid about Kouzuki-sama
Minaho-neesan tells me.
Most managers don’t hire people that are much more capable than themselves Huh? Why?
I asked.
If you hire someone much more skilled than yourself, they might take away that company from you, right? That you might not be able to reject anything that person wants to do No, but that’s such a dull reason? That’s right. They hire people with lower skill because of such a dull reason, making a mountain of the reason why the business isn’t growing
Right.
The reason for why I like this young man.
Jii-chan suddenly speaks.
Boy, do you think that you’re smart?
me?
No. I’m dumb. Quite dumb
It’s embarrassing, but I replied honestly.
He knows that he’s not smart. He knows that there are many people much brighter than him
Well, everyone around me is all smart.
Edie’s even a child prodigy.
So, if you can’t find out what to do alone, what do you do? I consult everyone Do you not consider dealing with it alone? I mean, everyone’s much smarter than me, so it’s better if I listen to their opinion However, if their opinion differs, what do you do?
Oh, for example, Misuzu and Nei not agreeing with each other.
I think about it
I replied.
First, I take my time to think. I ask other people’s opinions. If it splits, then I will have them explain their reason, and listen to which is better So you’re going to listen to them all? Yeah. Fortunately, I have a lot of people to talk to
Minaho-neesan, Margo-san, Katsuko-nee, Nagisa, also.
Then, I give my final answer, commit to it and take responsibility You will? Despite it being an opinion you took from someone else? It’s irrelevant. It doesn’t matter who gave that opinion, I’m the one who made the conclusion. Then that means that I have all the responsibility for that Hmm. I see. Then what will you do if you have no one to consult with? Where there is a problem, and you have to deal with it right away? Then I will use my intuition to decide
I replied immediately.
I will feel out what I should do an act based on that Are you sure about that? What will you do if your intuition was wrong? Then that’s it. If it results in my death, then it can’t be helped. I decided for that myself Would you not regret that you didn’t have the time to consult others? I can’t do anything even if I do. It’s a time where I had to make a quick decision after all That’s simple of you
I can somehow feel that Jii-chan’s showing a wry smile while looking at the monitor.
That’s how he is. He thinks that he’s dumber than others and so he never looks down on them. If you look down on others, you don’t listen to their opinion. Furthermore, you can prepare yourself and make conclusions. He has decisiveness. It’s simple, but an unbreakable spirit Ugh, it doesn’t feel great when Jii-chan’s praising me.
Look? You said something so strange that the girls are now looking at me.
Therefore, I need him as Misuzu’s partner. My granddaughters are quite the clever girls after all I’m sorry
Misuzu bows her head.
It’s reassuring to have a man who listens to people with her. Furthermore, if he learned intuition from management, I couldn’t ask for more
Jii-chan said.
It’s okay to stay as yourself. You don’t have to be smart. You don’t need an academic background. Stay like that. And I request for you to stay by Misuzu’s side forever
Chapter 865. High Life Brandy
I also want everything to go smoothly to keep my family safe
I replied.
Right now, we let someone do something that we can’t do. And that is a lot if you look at your daily life. I’m thankful to the people around me, and I don’t look down on them. If it goes poorly and I looked down on them, I don’t know how they will retaliate Most people in this world are not my family.
I can’t oppose all of them.
Naturally, if I have to crush them, then I will do it thoroughly. This world has evil people you can never make a compromise by talking
Shirasaka Sousuke.
Cesario Viola.
But, not everyone is an enemy. That said, they’re no allies either. Most people are neither
For example, the students in our school.
They’re not in favor of us.
That doesn’t mean that they hate us to the bone.
Most of them are in a neutral state, hardly caring about us.
First of all, I don’t want to gather hate from the ordinary people I don’t need them to like us, but it’s a problem if they hate us. I might endure anything that they do if it was me alone, I can push it aside, but I’d rather not have my family get hurt I’m not living alone. So you compromise on coexistence with other people?
Jii-chan asks me.
It’s nothing as great as coexisting. My family is quite a unique and odd group of people if seen from the ordinary people’s eyes. If we want to stay alive, then we have lots to pay for. At least, I want to have some respect from the people. Well, of course, if it’s Yakuza or others, they don’t need to be aware of us This way of thinking is something Kouzuki house needs, that’s what I believe in
The girls in the courtyard hear Jii-chan’s voice.
Misuzu, what do you think is the biggest problem you are facing?
Jii-chan asks. Misuzu.
It’s how we have this status despite not experiencing success ourselves
She replied immediately.
We were born nobility. We have bodyguards to keep us safe all the time, and we’re allowed to live in such luxury. However, all these wealth isn’t something we earned ourselves Correct. And it’s not a problem for the younger generations. It also is a problem I face regularly
Personally experiencing success?
Born in nobility, we lived a blessed life. We never highly skilled, but we belong to the high-class. It just happened that we were born in a good family, and so we were blessed with a good life. I always wonder if this is okay Jii-chan said. The young ladies became noisy. If I was born in the branch family, or if I was the third son in the main family, then they might allow me to abandon this too-rich life. Just like your father, Misuzu
Misuzu’s father is Jii-chan’s third son, he left Kouzuki house and became an elite bureaucrat of the country.
No, Father may have moved forward with his way without becoming affiliated with the Kouzuki group, but he still used the name and lineage of Kouzuki house. Or should I say that he couldn’t run away from it, no matter what Misuzu said.
Oh, even if he’s a government official, he’s still named as the third son of the Kouzuki head house.
Father works in the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology. However, still, he receives cooperation because he’s a member of the Kouzuki family. It isn’t just the political and business circles here, when he has some deals in Kyoto, most of them say if it’s Kouzuki-san, then.
Kouzuki house isn’t just a large enterprise, they also have history backing them up.
Nobility with history will have acquaintances all over. Connections. They’ll listen, even if it’s absurd.
Just because he became a government official doesn’t mean he can’t count on the power of Kouzuki house. He must have a lot of cases where he has to use it.
It’s the fortune those born from nobility brings, and also a curse
Jii-chan said.
Especially for me, the eldest child, it was decided that I will become the next head of the clan. I cannot end the family lineage with me. Also, there are generations of retainers in our house. Companies with the name of Kouzuki house have numerous workers. I had to protect Kouzuki house not just for me, but for the retainers and all the workers The girls turned silent. That is the responsibility of those who inherit the house. All I inherited is this old blood. It’s not the assets. Honor accumulated by ancestors for generations and thoughts of many people who worked for Kouzuki house and their companies is what I inherit. Some students applying for a position in the company this year had their ancestors served Kouzuki house How did you respond to such people, Grandfather?
Misuzu asks.
I answer, I know. Your ancestors have served Kouzuki house from Kyoto generations ago. I’m grateful for that. If people with a history like that appear in the final interview, then I have the secretaries investigate beforehand. That’s how I know about it when they suddenly bring it up while talking to me, and I show my gratitude to their ancestors. As a result, they pledge their allegiance to Kouzuki house. No, they can be applying for the company entrance test, but I cannot let them have the worse impression about Kouzuki house and its companies Jii-chan’s going that far.
No, if he’s the head of nobility with a long tradition, it’s within the consideration of what he should do.
He knows their ancestors and is grateful for their loyalty, so they won’t hate Jii-chan.
Even if they can’t enter the company, they won’t blame Jii-chan.
Those remaining for the last interview in large scale enterprise means that they have the academic and skill to back them up. If they weren’t, then they won’t get hired no matter what.After picking a few people, the remaining students had to be told that they didn’t make it. However, those students will find employment somewhere else someday. It can be a rival company to Kouzuki house, or maybe somewhere wholly different. And in twenty years, they will become veterans. At that time, isn’t it better to leave the impression that I failed my application, but Kouzuki is a firm company, than have Back then, I tried going in a company from Kouzuki, but I lost my face during the entrance test. ?
Jii-chan said.
In entrance tests, the company will always have a stronger status. However, that relationship won’t persist afterward. The student right now may become someone great. No, in the first place, the students are possibly customers who buy goods Kouzuki produces. And so, we cannot let the applicant have the wrong impression with Kouzuki for the rest of their lives. Even students have their families. They have friends. People increase their acquaintances as long as they’re alive. Then, that person can tell them: Back then, I tried applying for a company and met the head of Kouzuki house, and then continue his story. That’s what I fear But, Grandfather’s always showing an angry look
Misuzu tries to break the cold atmosphere with her pleasant smile.
Well, of course. I’m not going to spoil the students. I’ll never laugh when they try to flatter me. I don’t have to like them. I’m the head of Kouzuki house, and so I want a stern, serious, and honest, and fair personnel. That’s a necessity Fair people. I can’t trust people who aren’t fair. That’s what I believe in
Oh, I see.
You can’t trust people who are trying to flatter others, trying to gain their favor.
They’re people who will go against the rules as long as they can have others show favor for them.
Anytime, with anyone, and with whatever situation.
But if it’s someone who can deal with the situation fairly, then that’s trustworthy for the time being.
People who waver depending on the person, on the case, on time, aren’t trustworthy.
That applies not to people but also companies.
Kouzuki Kakka’s going that far when paying attention to your speech and conduct?
Kaan-san asks.
That’s natural. I’m the head of Kouzuki house
Jii-chan’s laughing voice is heard.
Kaan-kun, what do you think is nobility?
This time, Jii-chan asks.
Uhm, in what way? I’m asking why the nobility is nobility
Kaan-san.
That’s because their founder accomplished a great deed
Yeah.
All the nobility come from their first ancestor doing something great.
Then, gaining high rank, assets, piling it up, becoming the head of household.
That’s right. All of the nobility exist because of their first head. The first person experienced success himself However, the succeeding generations, all continued to protect their family, and that is the reason for us to exist
Kaan-san tries to add in a hurry, but.
Even so, the most momentous one is the first one. After all, he’s only a commoner
Yeah, the first family head to become nobility was a commoner.
The second generation is succeeding in a somewhat grander house.
Therefore, the story of the first generation is mostly handed down as a legend. The second generation’s story is usually buried and forgotten. Tales of ancestors who rejuvenated the family after collapsing remain, but the first generation’s glory never changes Jii-chan said. That’s because the first-generation’s story of success is the only genuine personal experience. He’s the one to rise up from the commoners
Oh, it’s something like the story of the servant in charge of footwear taking over the country.
Doesn’t your family treat the first generation as special, even going as far as worshipping him? It is as you say
Kaan-san replies.
Then, what are we now? Aren’t we all leaning into the peace from the heroic achievements of the first generation? Well, it’s still hard to continue and protecting a family that has grown large. As mentioned earlier, I know about it the most as I’m the head of Kouzuki house. However, is there worth our existence if all we do is keep the family safe? We do not have achievements nor the personal experience Jii-chan’s voice echoes. I believe you all know what happened with Kurama house
Kurama house.
Kurama Misato and Arisu-san’s house.
I wonder what’s the cause why the two cute young ladies are now going to become prostitutes?
Kurama house inherited the Kurama Kaku, which is a hotel business concentrating at weddings
Oh, I heard about the Kurama Kaku group. I heard that they’re a hotel group with great traditional inns and wedding halls.
So that’s what Kurama-san’s family is doing.
Kurama Kaku is formerly a Japanese style garden built for Kurama house. It became a traditional Japanese restaurant during the early Showa and used as a wedding reception is for noble marriages. Most political and business circles gather there. During my age, most families conduct their wedding reception banquet there. That building doesn’t belong to just Kurama house. It’s a precious location for us nobility as it has memories Oh, if the influential people go to Kuromori tower at night for their under the table meetings.
Then, Kurama Kaku is the social gathering place during the daytime.
However, the current head of Kurama house is a young man in his 40’s. He let some unknown foreign groups invest in his business and took down the whole Kurama Kaku, an old Japanese style building. Saying that he’ll rebuild it to a modern high-rise hotel Huh? I think that’s Kurama-san’s father, but.
He broke everything.
I stopped it. I told him to keep the Kurama Kaku. That it’s not something, he should do. We knew that the internal conditions of the foreign company investing group are suspicious. That it’s an offer that is too good to be true. We told him that if he was low on funds for the time being, then the Kouzuki group can lend him as much as he wants. I talked to the other heads of families about Kurama-kun. To cut off the relationship with the overseas group. To stop the stupid attempt to create a new building. To protect the beautiful garden of Kurama Kaku and their history Jii-chan’s voice has a hint of anger. However, that man told me, If all I do is protect the old, then I don’t know what reason I was born for. If I don’t challenge with a new hotel, then my life will not begin. Then, ignoring my warning, he declared severing connections with us old men. Suddenly starting the construction work, destroying all and turning it to an empty plot, and establishing a new hotel Oh, he’s done it. However, when the construction was half done, the funds from the foreign investors suddenly blows off. Instead of the cash flowing in, the sum of money is sent over to the overseas investors. We will return it, let us borrow it for now, or so they say Oh boy. The construction of the high-rise hotel stopped. However, it already used over a hundred million yen. The money let to the foreign investors isn’t coming back. And above all, the wonderful Kurama Kaku will never return to normal. He dug down to the basement to create the high-rise building It’s all out. That said, the half-complete hotel doesn’t have enough funds to finish it. If the new hotel doesn’t open, money won’t flow in. The traditional inn and wedding hall of the Kurama Kaku group lack in funds that they were in danger. He came to us, crying. I’m begging you, please lend me money, he said When everything we going well, he said he would cut off his connections with Jii-chan. However, neither my friends nor I can’t give him money. He’s gone that far
It’s not just Jii-chan.
He ignored other people’s advice and failed.
There’s no help.
Indeed, it’s a miserable story. Grandfather decided not to give any help to Kurama house
Kaan-san said.
Therefore, she was cold to the Kurama sisters.
Kanou house, the last of the big three don’t have the assets, just their history.
If Kozuki and Kaan house isn’t helping Kurama house, nobody else will.
By the way, Kaan-kun, do you know why Kurama house did something that foolish?
Jii-chan said.
That’s.because he was deceived by the honey words of the foreigners? Then, why was it easy to fool him? That’s. That Kurama bastard wanted to experience success personally
Jii-chan said.
He’s born nobility, and he wanted to achieve success than to live under the glory of the first generation. Kurama Kaku is the symbol of the Kurama Kaku group. It’s an elegant and splendid building, and so, all the other traditional inns and wedding halls have its style. However, Kurama Kaku is what the first generation left behind. A beauty already consummated, it doesn’t show anything new. It’s not allowed to do so. The current head of Kurama house didn’t like to see what he inherited from the past remains in the future. It isn’t proof that he was born and lived on this earth. Thus, he thought of breaking the whole Kurama Kaku of the past and create a new high-rise hotel to leave his mark Thus, he demolished the old Kurama Kaku and tried to construct a new hotel.
It’s the worst case.
He was someone who wanted to show a great accomplishment of what he’s done
That means he wants to personally experience success.
Ah.
Just like Minaho-neesan’s father?
I muttered unconsciously.
Indeed. Kuromori Kouichiro was the same
Minaho-neesan’s father inherited the Kuromori tower, a building his father built.
He forcibly took it away from his father and tried to dye it as his own.
But, he lacks in talent, and so Shirasaka Sousuke took command.
His case is easy to understand. His father was the first generation hero to earn fortunes. His father had experienced success. However, he doesn’t have that. He was insecure, and so he tried to forcibly achieve that personal experience of success Minaho-neesan’s not saying anything. It’s a typical story. Cases where it’s the relatives who drag down their family to collapse Born as nobility, yet no experience of success, it makes them feel at a loss to why they’re in that status
Misuzu said.
That’s right. Misuzu, Kaan-kun, Kanou-kun, you should be careful with people you interact with It is as you say
Kaan-san said.
Up until now, I’ve been scorning on Kurama-san’s father, wondering why would he do something so foolish, but, I think that someone in my family or I might do the same thing You’re in high school, and yet, you’re managing three companies, don’t you have the same cause?
Jii-chan asks.
You think of your company as lessons in company management, don’t you? Where if the three companies don’t grow, then you will assess yourself that’s. I can understand that if you seriously want to manage that many companies but, they will not succeed. It may not go smoothly. The season was poor. You couldn’t gather personnel, things don’t move as expected. Those you plan to go smoothly aren’t doing well Jii-chan said. Kaan-san looked down. If you grow older, you’ll learn that life isn’t all victories. A person never losing doesn’t exist. However, for some reason, young ones prefer winning. They fear loss. If they fail once, they see their lifending. Living means that you will lose a lot. Losing repeatedly is what makes winning as delightful as ever kouzuki Kakka. Don’t turn to Kurama-kun. Don’t get others involved if you want to receive experience from personal success. What I fear is that if the people around you let you win that you start to misunderstand Let me win? That’s right. If the business of the young lady of Kaan house lost, then it will hurt her. They think that way, and so they use the power of the world of adults, and so your company can have achievements without you knowing. You misunderstand that everything is going as you expect, that your ideas and management policies were correct What does that mean? I see. For young ladies like you, you can’t find such wrongdoings right away. For example, handing over secret funds from Kaan house to another company to create mass orders on your company that’s, absurd. I’ve done that once or twice. And it’s a common occurrence !
Kaan-san shows a frustrated look.
Oh, it looks like she recalled a case.
Letting the subordinates do that means that your company can succeed, but you will not experience success personally. However, you will misunderstand that this world is easy. Then, that mistaken success you have will let you look down on your subordinates, clients, customers, and consumers Kaan-san bites her lip. See? I told you the same thing Minaho-kun told you. However, when Minaho-kun told you that, all you did was oppose her, but when the head of Kouzuki house told you, you reflect on it obediently it’s embarrassing, I want to bury myself in a hole
Kaan-san says while blushing and on the verge of tears.
Worry not, Kaan did call me. My granddaughter is reaching the age of conceit, so I gave her various advice, but she’s not listening to her grandfather. I think that my granddaughter would obediently listen if it’s from the head of Kouzuki house, however. She will be coming over to your mansion, please look after her, he said Kaan-san’s Grandfather called Jii-chan? Kaan sent over antique brandy as thanks. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about it
Jii-chan says jokingly, but.
On the other hand, I want you to keep a secret from him what is it?
Kaan-san asks.
I no longer drink brandy. He probably suggested it out of his mental image of when I was young and drinking alcohol
Jii-chan stopped drinking brandy after getting Ruriko’s father killed.
Kaan-san’s Grandfather didn’t know that.
Therefore, I thought of handing over the brandy Kaan gave me to Misuzu and that young man. Keep it a secret from him
Jii-chan said.
Chapter 866. High Life JFK
Let’s return to the nobility discussion
Jii-chan said.
You’re attending the best school for young ladies in Japan. Your school became like that because of Kaan, the late Kanou-kun, and my influence
The big three?
During the post-war economic growth, Japan’s society made a great paradigm. To put it simply, the traditional nobility gave birth to the Meiji restoration, and the bourgeois rank of wealthy people collapsed. Creating a new class in society. Let me say it beforehand, those that collapsed were only a portion. Most of the nobility have survived by changing along with the time. We risked our lives to protect our family Jii-chan’s story must be interesting to the young ladies.
Their existence as young ladies is proof that the nobility of Japan survived.
It’s identical to how Kabuki and other traditional arts still exist to this day. Kabuki was also in the precarious state during the occupation of the allied forces in Japan. It just happened that a commissioned officer of the US army liked kabuki, so it remained. Even so, they created some absurd restrictions such as I don’t like the feudal tales, or it doesn’t suit the Christian ethics and such So that happened. The occupation army complained about Shogi. The rule where you can steal a piece from your opponent is the abuse of prisoners. It’s a savage game, was their reason for banning it
Huh?
Shogi is savage?
If you ban it for that reason, then what about the current computer games?
Did you know? McArthur said, In science, arts, religion, and culture, America and Germany are at their 40-50’s, their prime of life, but Japan is still a young man in their teens. Japan should learn from the West, and the West should guide Japan.
Japan is still a child compared to the West?
That’s how foolish he sees Japanese people are. Well, calling the people bumpkins would be better
Jii-chan speaks in displeasure.
Although, that was a blessing for the Japanese
Huh?
Before the war, Franklin D Roosevelt created this new deal policy to recover from the Great Depression. It’s something you learned from your history classes. It’s the beginning of Keyne’s modified capitalism gaining political power. Instead of entrusting the business to market freely, the administration intervenes and redistribute the assets. The people using the new deal policy were all young people burning in idealism. However, in reality, the new deal policy isn’t always successful. The societal structure so far changed by political power, it was hard. The society will not obey as the government official imagined, and America, who couldn’t complete the change, participated in the war War. They needed a large number of materials for the military. Europe’s industry was on decline during the war. America was using all of the allied nations’ military goods. The ordinary citizens endure during the time of war. They introduced daylight savings time and bring in women to work. When America joined the second world, war.and Hawaii was attacked, the Americas hardly had anyone in the front. They keep their industrial production with the pretext of its war, and they were able to change the system in their country America changed during the war? If it was during peace, then there are lots of people opposing. It disturbs those who hold vested interests. However, during the war, they can take them down with are you allied with the enemy nation? They can restructure the government to their liking Jii-chan said. In the end, Franklin Roosevelt was saved by the war. If there was no war, then perhaps his New Deal policy will never become the system. However, it happened. I don’t believe in the conspiracy theories that Franklin Roosevelt rushed to war with Japan for himself. A single president’s forecast changed history. It’s all a coincidence that everything went as Franklin Roosevelt expected yeah.
But why is Franklin Roosevelt’s name is said in full all the time?
Nii-san. In America, there was another president with the name of Roosevelt
Luna read my thoughts and whispered.
Theodore Roosevelt has a hobby of creating teddy bears Oh, right
She knows a lot.
Then, during the postwar period, the American occupants using their political measures all survived with the New Deals policy. Therefore, in their ideal minds, they started teaching the poor Japanese people who still are 12-years-old compared to themselves. To us, they’re just idealistic children, and they were the ones ignorant of the world. However, some sympathized with the Americans among the Japanese. People who say that the Americans were right, that Japan will stay as a child if Americans don’t guide them, that everything Americans tell them is for good. No, even now, most survive by having plain ill-will in their head Jii-chan said. They drowned in American culture, longing for the flashy and beautiful life in movies. However, those who say that it’s their way of life are the middle class in America. It wasn’t the age where everyone has a camera, like now. There are hardly any people traveling overseas. It’s not the real-life in America, it’s just the ideal life shown in movies. In fact, America still contradicts the world even now. They’re distorted. They have a social class in poverty. But they don’t convey that.They win over the Japanese by showing the paradise There was no internet back then.
The imitations from movies are different from reality.
Showing American movies to the Japanese was one of McArthur’s political measures. He knows the power of film. If we’re talking about telecast from back then where the politicians and the president are known to the masses, it was because there’s a newsreel before the movie itself shows News before the movie? Wheelchair was created for President Franklin Roosevelt, who had his lower half paralyzed. In short, he was disabled. However, most of the American citizens didn’t know that
Huh? The president’s in a wheelchair, and yet nobody knows?
He could stand up from his wheelchair and walk a single step. Therefore, the newsreel shows him walking that one step to the platform. They’re not showing the wheelchair. Therefore, most of the citizens think that he can walk So the video shows the impression that he can still walk. America is a vast land that not even the president can go all over the whole nation. The best he could do is move around a vast city and another. One can read his political measures in the newspaper. They can hear him over radios. However, the majority of the people only see him moving in newsreels Haa. Actually, in the movie Yankee Doodle Dandy, produced during the war, there was a scene where James Cadney, disguised as Franklin Roosevelt, tap dancing on the floor. If the people know that Franklin Roosevelt lives in a wheelchair, then they won’t make that scene. They’ll see that and won’t laugh at it. It’s the worst kind of joke If they make a scene where the president, who is paralyzed below, tap dancing.
It will get people seriously angry.
The Internet would be on fire.
Franklin Roosevelt can walk a single step. That’s what the screen shows. They’re not lying. However, they’re not telling the truth either. The president’s legs are paralyzed. It’s those people who use such unfair impression which came to Japan Jii-chan said. Then, using the reason that they won the war, they started remodeling Japan’s history and culture to their own ethics, as if it’s their plaything. However, their New Deal policy is too idealistic, too childish. They think that great evil and unjust acts are minimum. No, if it wasn’t America, who thinks of Japan as an underdeveloped child, that occupied our country, then they would mess up with Japan and never let it stand on its feet again Right. The nobility was so close to collapse. No, actually, some families were sacrificed. Fortunately, the time where the most danger exists didn’t last long, America didn’t have the time to toy with Japan. The cold war with the communist nation started Cold War? The plan of the occupation army at first was to take down all the ruling class of Japan. The old ones. For America, the democracy flag bearer.they want to distribute the leader’s assets to the masses. They do not understand the worth of families with long history The occupants didn’t know the worth of nobility. But, the Cold war happened. Then, America feared that if they eliminate the old leaders of Japan, the communists will rise. They don’t want Japan, who advanced to democracy, turn red. Japan has no other islands between the pacific ocean and Hawaii. If Japan becomes communists, then they will take up the whole of East Asia. Therefore, the Americans panicked and strengthened their relationships with the old leader classes of Japan. They must’ve thought that if they don’t resume the governing body of Japan before the war, they won’t be able to stop the wave of commoners turning to communists And so, nobility remained. And that’s a long-standing problem of Japan since post-war. In other words, the leaders of Japan who had control before the war has lost, and nobody among them took responsibility. Thus, the commoners, especially young students, were irritated. They thought, Pull them down! However, during that age, if they were to break down the whole system and change it to something new, it will become messed up. Japan endured the military occupation for several years, and then, the former leaders were allowed to return. It still continues to this day. Well, of course, I belong to the group of the old leader class, so I think that way, but I’m aware of the other opinion. I know people who lost, who collapsed. As a result, turning into some ridiculous shape. However, Japan still had the Japan-like in their country because we didn’t fall to ruin, that’s what I’d like to believe Jii-chan said. What we inherited from our ancestors isn’t blood, assets, or name. Japan is for the Japanese people, and that’s why we’re proud that we’re Japanese.It’s a will that we defend
The young ladies listen to Jii-chan earnestly.
We’re not higher than others because we’re nobility. We’re not smart. We’re not valuable either. We don’t have to be refined. No value. If we’re just rich, then we can get friendly with other influential people and rise up with that thought, can’t we?
It’s not money or power.
Humans are creatures that coexist despite having different views, unchanging and ever-changing.’ It’s the inconsistency of life. That means, the will to continue living eternally for as long as the next generation is born, and the will to change depending on the situation, both will contradict and coexist. Then, humans continue their existence through the ages. People with the intention to change along with the era are common. Then, I think that we exist to carry the will to keep the old tradition That’s the role of nobility. I let my granddaughters wear Kimono. They learned to live a life in tatami mats. You girls are the same. The school you attend is training you to behave like a Japanese person. That’s what Kaan, Kanou, and I instructed the school to do Oh, so that’s why the young ladies are learning traditional Japanese dance.
Learning how to live wearing Japanese clothes.
Your school never lets in daughters outside of nobility. That means refusing entry of daughters of rising businessmen, politicians, or celebrities. But on the other hand, we are donating a hefty sum to your school Jii-chan said. Most prestigious schools accept such girls for their business. However, children not born as nobility are different from us. They have the opposite will than us. In short, the will to change constantly. People with that strong will are reaching grand success at this age. They gain both social status and fortunes. However, we do not want our daughters, no, it’s granddaughters already.you girls to have that will. Maybe when you’re adults already. Once you have established a self, where you no longer shake from people with a different opinion than yourself. However, when you’re still young, we want you to go through pre-school, elementary, middle school, and high school, with the will of nobility. We want you to become those who keep, not those who change the tradition Therefore, Misuzu’s school doesn’t have vacancies for anyone other than children of nobility. Naturally, that is just a selfish wish of the old generation. Maybe, from your point of view, you prefer to change yourself, to do what you want. However, we want you to understand. First is what’s good about the old, and to know the beauty of Japan. Those what the ordinary people forgot. We want you to look at it first. We want you to know. And we want you to love it, if possible. We don’t care about paying, as long as it creates an opportunity for you to experience it. Even so, if you wish to change, we will not stop you. We will not force you. But, we want you to know at least the reason why we want you to inherit and continue the beauty of Japan, and its influences in the nobility Jii-chan said. This country has a museum now but, the treasure of Kouzuki house is designated as a national treasure. It’s a burned treasure my ancestor from 300 years ago brought from Kyoto. Surely, if he didn’t bring that, he wouldn’t have survived. Then, it has been a treasure Kouzuki house protected for 300 years. If you ask me if there’s value in my house, then it would be the existence of that treasure. The one who carried that has become nobility It’s not just objects.Etiquette, behavior, speech, various cultures inherited is what makes nobility
Kaan-san said.
My late Grandfather guided me strictly as well I have been shallow
Kaan-san said.
Kouzuki-sama and our Grandfathers wants us to not forget the spirit of nobility, making us understand
It looks like she’s reflecting.
I told Grandfather Kaan-house’s ways won’t do if we want to live through this age, I have been conceited Kaan also understands why you told him that. We have lived through a shocking generation, unlike you, who are still in your teens. Nobilities desperately try to survive the generation to not lose their pride. Currently, Kanou’s house seems declining, but it’s not the case. Kaan and I were just lucky. On the other hand, we have lost the precious things we left behind. Kanou house is the family with the most spirit of nobility remaining in them i don’t know
Kanou-san replies bashfully.
Kanou’s family still continues to have a family of bodyguards in charge of them. However, Kouzuki house lost that family of retainers. Therefore, I created this boorish organization, Kouzuki SS
I look at Shie-san, standing behind Kanou-san.
Shie-san shows slight happens since Jii-chan mentioned her.
It’s not just her, but her whole family lineage is praised.
All we have left is the lineage of bodyguards. My Sebastianus isn’t as strong as the bodyguards of Kouzuki house
Kaan-san looked at Yamada Umeko-san, or Sebastianus as she names her.
She mentioned earlier, my bodyguard is strong, but.
She’s surprised by Michi and Edie’s strength.
I’m very sorry, Momoko-ojousama
Umeko-san bows.
Don’t be, since it has come to this, you should train together with everyone. I won’t say that I won’t let you participate anymore. As the lady of Kaan house, I want to persevere along with everyone Haa.
Now the bodyguard of the Kaan house, one of the big three, will train together with us.
That will mean that all the bodyguards of nobility will join in.
The opposition between nobility will be gone.
I have been a conceited girl. Kouzuki Kakka, it was a beneficial talk. I will speak to Grandfather once I return home
Kaan-san said.
Fufufu, Kakka, you say.
Jii-chan laughs.
Kaan-kun, do you know why I’m called Kakka? that’s because you were assigned as the UK ambassador when you were young, and since then, you were called Kakka
Huh?
That’s what I heard too. Yeah.
Then, does your grandfather call me Kakka? that’s.uhm, my Grandfather does not Of course. Kaan knows the truth
Jii-chan’s laughter echoes.
I’ve never been the ambassador for UK
Wait what?
Then, what was the Kakka for?1
Those who look up my history will know. And those people will never call me Kakka
what’s going on?
There was this young man, an Ireland immigrant in America. He immigrated from Ireland together with his family, his family lineage is poor, that if he didn’t migrate, he probably couldn’t survive. However, the young man lost his father immediately after moving to America. He’s still a young boy, and yet, he worked in the dockyard in Boston. Then, he succeeded in his job Jii-chan narrates. He slowly gained success as a boss in a bar. He married a wealthy Ireland immigrant, and became an influential man, helping out those who came from Ireland. Lastly, if I recall, he rose up as a state diet member I wonder who that is? Then, the person called Kakka was his son. He, who was born in a reasonably wealthy family, entered a prestigious university. However, he’s an upstart, so he’s not allowed to enter the clubs that only have upper-class men in it. He graduated from university, used his father’s connections to become a government official, managing a bank. Using all the inside knowledge in various banks, he repeatedly gained huge profits through insider trading. He became acquainted with the people from the underground society. When the prohibition law was enforced, he joined hands with the Mafia and smuggled alcohol, creating mass profits. He’s nothing but a good-for-nothing upstart, no matter how you look at it. He bought a movie company for the sake of making his lover an actress. When the movie company failed, he had his lover carry the burden. He’s got no scrap of good sense Jii-chan continues. He copied his father and advanced to politics. He’s become a member of the lower house with involvement in Mafia. Franklin Roosevelt, the man we talked about earlier, hated that man. Vulgar, a liar, a thug, and is connected to the underground society, it’s natural to hate him. However, he has his assets. He has connections with various people. And, he’s an ambitious man. He demanded Franklin Roosevelt to ascend him to a higher office. Roosevelt doesn’t want such a disgusting man to become a cabinet minister. So, he tried to chase him out as far as possible. And as a result, he became the ambassador in the United Kingdom The poor immigrant’s son rose up as a villain and became an ambassador. However, that man wasn’t useful in the UK, all he does is boast. He talked that the United Kingdom should compromise and accept Hitler, and Nazi Germany’s protection. When London took an Air Raid from the Nazi’s, the royal family was in church, and he was in a situation where he can’t abandon the masses, but he ran away first. Returning to America, he gave out some reckless remarks, and Franklin Roosevelt finally dismissed him from being the ambassador in the UK. Dissatisfied, he had people call him Kakka until his death Oh, it sounds like an episode in Jii-chan’s story.
To think that kind of person exists.
His ambitions never vanished. Since he couldn’t achieve it, he had his son become a politician. His wish is for his family lineage to become president
