Jii-chan said.
And that ambition materialized. Do you know who that son is?
I don’t know, of course.
John F Kennedy
Kaan-san muttered.
That’s right, Kennedy’s house has become nobility in America. However, if you trace it back, the first generation is a bar owner who immigrated to America. The second generation is a thug. The third generation happened to become the president Jii-chan said. Even in the modern era, the nobility is born. They’re produced. If you trace back Kouzuki house, you’ll find out that the first generation wasn’t an influential person
All nobility has a starting point.
Various people are rising up to the world.
And scoundrels appear in their family lineage.
However, it’s the successors who inherit the pride of what the founder did. And we mustn’t forget that
Jii-chan’s voice echoes.
I’m the head of nobility, and so I had myself called Kakka to never let myself become conceited. If I lose my self-respect and do whatever I wanted with the power of Kouzuki house, then I will become the same as that thug. It’s a warning Jii-chan laughs. I had my subordinates call me Kakka I ordered them to do so. I feel startled every time I hear it. I ask myself, am I doing my obligation as the head properly? Am I not becoming that low-life?
He can reflect on himself each time he’s called.
Apart from subordinates, some try to curry me up. Also, those who come to me without investigating my history. Such people look down on me. They speak all the reasonable grounds, but it makes me laugh from the bottom of my heart Kakka is a peculiar title. To tell the truth, even if they’re a former ambassador, but now a private individual, yet, they still are pleased to be called Kakka are the worst fool to see. People who think that way was never warned when they were receiving entertainment Jii-chan said.
Chapter 867. High Life Sing
That’s all from me. If possible, do keep it a secret from the subordinates who call me Kakka. I’m sure that the wise children will understand why
Jii-chan’s voice echoes in the courtyard.
The young ladies and their bodyguards in the courtyard are all quiet.
I apologize for interrupting your fun party. The old man will be excusing himself now. Enjoy Misuzu’s party to the end
Jii-chan’s voice from the speaker is cut off.
However.
He talked about too many subjects that the girls in the courtyard look confused.
Everyone, can I have your attention?
Kaan-san stands up.
Kouzuki Misuzu-sama, Kanou Sakurako-sama, please stand up
She whispered at the two.
If our Grandfather’s friendship has created the school we have today, then, I believe that we should get along as well
Misuzu’s school doesn’t let anyone other than daughters of nobility enter thanks to Jii-chan and the other grandfathers.
In exchange for donating a hefty sum, they refuse to enroll children of upstarts and celebrities.
All of it to raise the next generation of nobility worthy of the title.
Indeed. I sincerely want us to get along as well
Misuzu stood up and smiled.
I.
Kanou-san hesitates as her family fortunes are low, even though she has a great family lineage.
What are you doing? Kaan house, Kouzuki house, and Kanou house need to gather, or we cannot put the school in order
Kaan-san smiled.
Kanou-sama, please stand
Misuzu tells Kanou-san.
O-Okay
Kanou-san stands up.
Someone, bring in new glasses
Misuzu said. Then the maid group from Kouzuki SS hands the three a new glass.
If possible, it should be Champagne, but well, we’re still in high school Indeed, let’s toast with juice for now
Misuzu asks the maid to pour juice on their glasses.
Grandfather is still watching after all If I make a mistake in Kouzuki-sama’s house, I’m sure that he will talk about it to Grandfather
Misuzu and Kaan-san smiled at each other.
How about the three of us become sworn sisters?
Kaan-san said.
i.
Kanou-san is the only one nervous.
Ufufu, I understand, Kanou-sama
Kaan-san laughed.
Kanou-sama’s always looking so aloof. Yet, I know that you’re kind i.
Kanou-san’s surprised.
But, uhm, I’m two years younger than you two
Kanou Sakurako-san is a first-year high school.
Misuzu and Kaan Momoko-san are in their second year of high school.
That’s right. And so you’re our little sister, and the eldest sister is. Kaan-sama
Misuzu said.
I think Kaan-sama can shoulder the responsibility Really? Then allow me to use the privilege, let us hold up our glasses
Kaan-san gives instruction as the eldest sister immediately.
Kanou-sama, it will be easier if you become our little sister
Misuzu smiled.
It would be great to extend the relationship not just to you, but to your family as well
Currently, Kanou house has nothing but their family status.
Even so, she belongs to the big three nobility, so she rivals the two other houses.
Actually, before the party started today.
Kanou-san was the only one sitting down on another table, alone.
The daughter of Kouzuki house cannot mingle with the young ladies of the Kouzuki group.
Even so, Kanou house lost their influence, so she can’t create her own group.
She’s not as wealthy as Kouzuki and Kaan house, and yet, she’s isolated since her family rivals theirs.
However, if the three young ladies become sworn sisters.
Then the young ladies from Kouzuki group, and perhaps, those from Kaan group, will become intimate with Kanou-san.
She’s a sworn sister of the leader of their group.
She’s the little sister because of age, but it can’t be helped.
Kanou house can keep their honor as one of the big three.
Indeed, I wanted a cute girl like you as my sworn sister. I sincerely think so
Kaan-san told Kanou-san.
I also want to become close with Kanou-sama
Misuzu said.
What about you? Do you not want it?
Kaan-san asked. Kanou-san.
I understand, then allow me to be your sworn little sister
Misuzu then speaks to the young ladies in the courtyard.
Can everyone give a toast to this? Well, it’s an honor to be in this scene To think that the big three nobilities have become sworn sisters! It’s wonderful!
The girls hold their glass.
The maid’s hand over a new one for those who aren’t holding any.
They all raise the glass with juice to the sky.
This is a rare occasion, so let’s have the bodyguards toast to it as well!
Kaan-san called out.
Darling too
Edie hands me a glass of juice.
I looked and found Michi, Rei-chan, and Shou-neechan holding up their glass as well.
You too, it’s a celebration, hold up your glasses
Anjou Mitama and Kinuka, the sisters, discouraged as their Masters left them.
Edie also hands over a glass to Adelheid-san, who was dismissed by her Master.
Her former employer, Torii Mariko-san.
Shie-san, Kanou-san’s bodyguard, also holds a glass.
Well then
Kaan-san addresses everyone.
Kaan house, Kouzuki house, Kanou house, we may be born from different families but will promise to get along! Loving each other as sisters. And I swear that to my sworn sisters’ name! I swear i swear!
The three young ladies raise their glasses.
Well then, cheers! Cheers!
Everyone drinks their juice.
The gentle atmosphere dominates the courtyard.
Then, you two will now call me Momoko-oneesama! As for me, do call me Misuzu, and Misuzu-oneesama Then, please call me Sakurako
Kanou-san blushed as she says that.
Yeah. Misuzu, Sakurako, if you have problems, then you can come to me anytime! Okay?
That elder-sister disposition with a brilliant self-confidence.
Kaan Momoko-san will surely become an influential person on the surface.
Misuzu’s a bit shy when it comes to girls of her generation.
Becoming Kaan-san’s sworn sister would be helpful for her.
Oh, by the way. I consider Mariko as my little sister already, so Misuzu, Sakurako, do get along with Mariko. Oh right, Sakurako is distant relatives with Mariko
Kaan-san pointed at Torii-san and said.
My best regards. Torii-san Misuzu smiled. Regards, Mariko-san
Kanou-san has some mixed feelings with Torii-san.
Yes, my best regards as well
Torii-san bows lightly.
Uhm, Kaan-sama
Ruriko, who’s standing by from the side, talks to Kaan-san.
Hmm, yes? If you treat Torii-san as your sister, then I also am Misuzu-oneesama’s little sister
To be precise, Ruriko and Misuzu are cousins.
Though they’re sisters as my woman.
Well, Kaan-san will accept them as sisters because they are cousins.
Indeed. Then, I will dote on Ruriko-sama as my little sister as well!
Kaan-san smiled.
Yes, thank you. Then please call me Ruriko from here on
Ruriko also joins in the sworn sisters.
Yoshiko-sama, what about you?
Kaan-san asks Yoshiko-san, who’s on the table with the young ladies of the Kouzuki group.
It would be discourteous for me to do so
Yoshiko-san replied with a smile.
Yoshiko-san was only recognized as Jii-chan’s granddaughter during last May.
She’s in that delicate state as she’s an illegitimate child of Jii-chan’s late first-son.
I see. Well, I won’t force you. Besides, if Yoshiko-sama were to join in, you will become the Onee-sama as you’re the oldest of the group
Yoshiko-san’s already in her third year, so that will be the conclusion.
Momoko-oneesama, you forgot Onii-sama
Ruriko smiled and points at me.
He’s my dearest brother
Hearing that, Misuzu.
And my husband!
She speaks loudly.
And the harmonious atmosphere loosens up.
Indeed. It can’t be helped. If Kouzuki-sama already accepted him.
Kaan-san smiled at me.
I will also look after you! Err, was it Kuromori Kou? yeah
I replied.
Then, it’s Kou-chan
Kou-chan?
If I recall, you’re younger than Misuzu and me, right?
Well, she knows that beforehand.
Then, I will call you Kou-chan. Sakurako, you’re at the same age, call him whatever you want Ah, yes
Torii-san shows her confusion to me.
Kanou-san seems to be bad at dealing with those that aren’t nobility.
Then, Mariko, you go sing something for everyone
Kaan-san ordered Torii-san like she owns the place.
Huh, uhm, Momoko-oneesama? Mariko, I think you should try to score some points with the people in here
Her mother is from nobility, but Torii house itself isn’t.
Torii-san perhaps will marry a man from nobility, so she’s accepted as one for now.
I think that some young ladies will think that Torii-san becoming a sworn sister of the big three as something unamusing.
You know, she’s quite fascinating. She thinks differently than us. Go on, do it, Mariko
Torii-san.
It can’t be helped. Haiji, come sing with me!
Torii-san calls Adelheid-san.
Uhm, I’m no longer working for Mariko-ojousama though Don’t you also want to score some points with the people here?
Torii-san dismissed her, and the impact of her fight with Kinuka-san was washed away by Michi vs. Tendou Otome, She has no other place to go.
Kinuka-san and her sister, Mitama-san, will be under Kouzuki house’s care.
Haa, I understand. Ojou-sama Haiji’s also good at singing Then, what song is it? Mariko-ojousama Haiji, let’s do ‘that’ ‘That?’
Adelheid-san shows a displeased face.
Yes, ‘that.’ The one I love. Starting with the cheerful one, I see. Do it. Showcase it to everyone!
Kaan-san tells Torii-san.
See? Onee-sama gave her orders. Let’s go! Haiji! Geez, I get it already
Then, the 16 yo young lady.
And the 13 yo (self-proclaimed) A-Rank bodyguard.
The two sings merrily.
However.
Haa dokoi! Aa Yoisho!
What’s this?
I mean, is this a song?
Kaan-san is laughing out loud.
aa, soitsu no nawaa 1 Poriisumeen Ugh! Ha!
This looks like a children’s game more than anything.
Pfft
Misuzu’s laughing
That’s funny
Ruriko as well.
That seems fun
Yoshiko-san is also laughing at Torii-san’s mysterious performance.
Sonna koto iwarete 2 Chipapa
Slowly, the other young ladies also start laughing.
That Kaan Momoko’s letting them play as the jester to make the others accept her
Edie whispers.
Back in the middle ages, the European royal court had a jester. The jester’s job isn’t just to make people laugh. They were used by the King to allow him to speak strictly
Huh?
Torii Mariko isn’t timid. She’s always speaking frankly. Kaan Momoko would like to keep that girl close to her
Yeah, Torii-san can’t read the mood after all.
Right, if it’s an ordinary girl, they would refuse to become a protegee of Kaan-san because they fear the envy of other girls.
Torii-san accepts it without a problem.
And that’s also why she can do this kind of performance.
She doesn’t think of this as embarrassing.
She’s hot, holding the honor of nobility.
That’s the reason why Torii-san doesn’t come close to Kaan-san with strange intentions.
She’s not an ass-kisser.
She’s only saying what she’s thinking.
Therefore, she can’t let go of her.
Thank you very much!
Finally, Torii-san and Adelheid-san’s song(?) ended.
That was fun. Mariko Also, you too
Kaan-san told Adelheid-san.
If you have no place to go, then stay with Mariko for a little longer. Do you mind? But, Momoko-oneesama? Won’t you listen to my request?
Kaan-san smiled.
I understand. I’ll withdraw your dismissal. Stay with me for a while longer i.
Adelheid-san is hesitating.
If you really can’t stand Mariko’s house, I can ask Misuzu to have you join in Kouzuki SS. Although, I think that your skill is still lacking. Continue as Mariko’s bodyguard for a while, and train together with everyone to polish your own skill Kaan-san said. Misuzu. Michi, train with her Certainly
Michi bows her head.
Seki-san and Fujimiya-san, please do Yes, Misuzu-sama
For now, Adelheid-san won’t be at a loss because she made connections with Kouzuki SS.
I mean, if things went on, nobody will hire her, and she will have no place to go.
i understand, then, my best regards, Mariko-ojousama
She bows her head to Torii-san.
Sure, Haiji And I will also train with you
Edie said.
Next, it’s my turn to sing
Huh?
Edie, you?
Edie starts to sing in English without warning.
she’s good Wow That’s a beautiful voice
Edie’s also good at singing?
Well, her trunk is excellent, she has sharp senses, and has a vibrant power of expression.
Naturally, she’s good at singing too.
Soon enough, Edie finished singing.
That was Zeljko’s fight
Misuzu smiled at Edie.
That’s right. It’s a song Grandma used to sing
Edie smiled back.
Oh, the hall that was nervous since Jii-chan’s interruption.
They’re loosening up now.
Next, how about we all sing in chorus?
Misuzu suggested. Then the young ladies and their bodyguard started singing.
IT looks like the students in Misuzu’s school all know how to sing.
They’re not a singing school, though.
Danna-sama, please listen
The maids of Kouzuki SS, Shou-neechan, and Edie, who’s not a student in Misuzu’s school, all listen together.
Their singing voice.
It’s beautiful harmony, perfect.
Oh, I see.
These girls are real daughters of the nobility.
They swarm around Rei-chan and Margo-san.
Their complexion turns white when with Misuzu or Kaan-san, the big names, but.
Just as Jii-chan hoped for.
They all are trained as daughters of the nobility.
I can see it after they sang in a chorus.
They’re free to sing, and I can’t see a single girl not singing.
They’re all letting their voice out.
It’s like they have to show their best because they’re doing a show.
I can see why they’re the daughters of the nobility.
These young ladies are always observing, and other families and vassals do the same.
If they’re found cutting corners, it’ll affect the honor of their family.
They know that it will not shame just themselves but also their family, relatives, and their vassals.
Everyone, that was splendid
I clap my hands.
Edie and everyone did the same.
Kaan-sama, Kouzuki-sama, Kanou-sama, I would like to sing next
Then, a group proactively presented their song.
However, there is no single song prevailing.
They all sing differently.
Furthermore, they’re all good at it.
Then, the party advanced harmoniously.
Okay, all the bodyguards, please gather here
The wariness between the young ladies is gone.
The party now resumes with various groups chatting.
Seeing the atmosphere, Shou-neechan gathered the bodyguards.
This will be a discussion about the combined training
In this situation, the young ladies no longer need their bodyguards with them.
The spy is unmasked now, so there’s no need to worry anymore.
Take care. I will be talking with everyone
They send off their bodyguards with a smile.
Oh, there will be a joint training, I will join them
Kuromiya-san goes to Shou-neechan too.
Then, they went their way.
The bodyguards are having a friendly social gathering.
The big three have tied each other as sworn sisters.
Thus, the people at the party are all united.
Those present today.
And those who sang in a chorus.
Looks like they’re okay now
Edie whispers.
What’s not is.
Mizushima Karen-san, who’s sitting next to Misuzu, turning pale.
Well, she brought in a spy at the party of the young ladies.
She must be afraid that she will be punished.
Then, Anjou sisters who lost their Masters.
These two are bodyguards, but they’re not coming to Shou-neechan.
Well, they lost their master who they should protect, it can’t be helped.
Danna-sama!
Misuzu calls me.
What’s wrong?
I go to Misuzu’s place.
We’re all okay now, could you take her and the other two back inside the mansion?
It looks like Misuzu’s worried about Karen-san and the Anjou sisters.
Then that means.
The party is now in a good mood, it’s not great to have the three feel down.
Right.
I guess I should back off for now.
I’m also worried about the Takakura sisters in the mansion as Kaan-san doesn’t want to cross paths with them.
Tendou Otome, the spy as well.
I will return as well
Minaho-neesan, who entered the courtyard as Jii-chan’s voice, said.
I still have to take over the Kurama sisters from Kouzuki-sama
Right.
Kurama sisters are going to become prostitutes of Kuromori.
Chapter 868. High Life Debu
Oh? Are you the type who follows everything Misuzu says, Kou-chan?
Kaan-san, who listens to our conversation, asks.
Well, Danna-sama’s a kind man
Misuzu said with a smile.
Indeed, Onii-sama fulfills our request without getting bothered
Ruriko said.
Hmm. I thought that all men were all trying to boast themselves when with women
Torii-san said.
It looks like Torii house is dominated by men.
Oh, I see, he’s not from nobility, and he’s also younger
Kaan-san smiles.
I guess that fits
She looked at Misuzu.
Kouzuki house’s situation is different from the two
Misuzu said.
Momoko-oneesama, you have your little brother, and Sakurako has her big brother
In short, Kaan-san’s little brother and Kanou-san’s big brother.
There are male successors in their family.
However, in Kouzuki house’s case.
Misuzu, Ruriko, and Yoshiko-san.
The main house has nothing but three granddaughters.
Most nobility would want to be adopted to Kouzuki house
Kaan-san smiles.
And there are various developments inside Kouzuki clan as well
Like the branch families and the directors of the group competing with each other.
In the end, there has been infighting on who will be adopted to the bride’s family. If that’s the case, then it’s a valid argument to have someone who’s not involved with the factional dispute, as the groom Kaan-san stares at me. And if it’s a man Kouzuki-sama accepted, nobody can voice out their complaints
Jii-chan’s recognition is backing me up.
Well, I can see that he’s not a bad guy. I don’t think there are that many men who have this reserved attitude while attending a party of young ladies
Me? Reserved?
If it was my big brother, he would try to make himself pleasant to everybody that it brings out the opposite result
Torii-san also has a big brother.
Right. Usually, one would get ecstatic about this. Wanting to get acquainted with the young ladies of various families, calling them out. However, Momoko-oneesama, even so, Misuzu-oneesama’s watching.
Torii-san laughed.
I’m at this party because I’m Misuzu’s official fiance, and yet.
I can’t just leave Misuzu and talk to the other young ladies.
I’m not Jii-chan’s student.
Thinking about it, I had a sudden realization.
Oh. I see.
I’m sure those guys would do that.
Kouzuki Satoshi and Tsunoda.
Even without the playboys, Kouzuki Kenshi will undoubtedly approach the young ladies with a grin on his face.
No, Kouzuki Souji and Shiba Akira, the stubborn guys.
They would aggressively make contact with these girls.
I mean, the participants of this party are the young ladies who are in the higher class.
They’re allowed to bring in their personal bodyguards.
It would be beneficial to become acquainted with these girls for their future.
Furthermore, Kaan-san and Kanou-san, young ladies who don’t belong to the Kouzuki group, are in here.
He also shows a dauntless behavior towards Sakurako or me
Me? Dauntless?
To think that we’re all gathered here, and yet, you remain calm, I guess that is to be expected from Misuzu’s partner, you never took a step back
Kaan-san praises me.
Indeed, I’m surprised with that too
Kanou-san looked up at me.
Thank you, Onee-sama, Sakurako
Misuzu gives her thanks to me.
Well, that’s not really the case. Well, you know, I don’t have any reason to force acquaintance with various young ladies, and I don’t have to keep bowing towards Kaan-san and Kanou-san
I mean, I’m not going to become successful in life by becoming acquainted with the young ladies.
If I’m talking about the bakery.
I have a different purpose, compared to Jii-chan’s students.
Naturally, Kou-chan’s going to be the leader of Kouzuki house after all.
Kaan-san, what?
It would be weird to see the man who will have that title to bow his head to us. Did you hear that, Mariko? Yes. I’m surprised that he calls Momoko-oneesama with only -san
Ah, maybe I should’ve said, Kaan-sama.
It’s okay. Sure, you’re not yet officially related to nobility. It would be weird that you’re not using -sama Although, there’s hardly any person who can talk to me calmly like that
Yikes, she’s angry?
I guess I should apologize.
You have to call me Momoko-oneesama next time, Kou-chan
Kaan-san smiles.
Huh?
I think that Kou-chan’s appearance at this party is Kouzuki-sama’s test. I believe that he’s trying to see how will Kou-chan behave when you’re with us
Jii-chan?
It was the same with me earlier. And perhaps, Kou-chan succeeded. If I was Kouzuki-sama, that would be my conclusion
succeeded?
I think you’re the best partner for Misuzu. Someone like you
Kaan-san’s accepting me?
Well, we’re both participants in Kouzuki-sama’s test in this party, let’s get along, okay? Ah, yeah
I replied.
Ah, also.
I understand, Momoko-neechan What?
Momoko-neechan’s surprised.
Well, I’m a man, so I thought that calling you Momoko-oneesama is weird
was that not okay?
Hmm, Could you say that again?
Momoko-neechan said.
momoko-neechan
Momoko-neechan stared at me.
Hmm, nice
Haa.
I mean, you really are amazing, you know that? To think that you picked that timing when I started calling you Kou-chan.
eeh?
I was calling you Kou-chan to make light of you, and yet, you don’t seem to hate it, but on the contrary, you used it to construct a closer relationship with me. Dear me, Kaan Momoko’s respecting that That wasn’t my intention, though. Sure. I allow you to call me Momoko-neechan in public No, I prefer to use that when in private
I don’t belong to the nobility, so I prefer not to go to the public.
Danna-sama does genuinely want to show respect and affection to Momoko-oneesama as his own elder sister
Misuzu said.
Wait, really?
Momoko-neechan looked at me.
Well, yeah. I mean, Momoko-neechan looks stylish Stylish? That’s the first time I hear that
Ah? Did I not present it correctly?
I mean, you’re gorgeous, the way you’re gallant when presenting yourself is attractive. When you took Jii-chan’s scolding tensely, I thought that was cool Danna-sama sincerely thinks so
Misuzu said.
He never lies. That’s what’s cute about him
She looks at me, passionately.
right, I can see what’s cute about Kou-chan now
Momoko-neechan replied.
We should get going
Edie tells me.
I don’t know what’s going on there, but.
If Edie says that, then we should get going.
By the way, please do return before the party ends, Danna-sama. We will send everyone off Yeah got it.Then, Momoko-neechan, and also, Sakurako-san Sakurako will do. Kou-oniisama
Sakurako says, but.
No, we’re of the same age, please don’t call me Onii-sama Then, how should I call you? Why not Kou? That’s how I will call him. We’re all at the same age
Torii-san said.
Also, do call me Mariko Sure. Mariko, also, Sakurako
I greeted them all before I went out.
Please do look after Misuzu, Ruriko, and Yoshiko-san. I’m sure that you’ll be kind to them, but still, I’m giving my best regards
I bowed my head.
Also, Shie-san and Adelheid-san.
What’s the name of Momoko-neechan’s bodyguard again?
Not Sebasomething, the real name.
Yamada Umeko-san
Edie whispers.
Ah, it helps that I have Edie the Genius.
Yamada Umeko-san, my regards with you as well
I bowed my head.
Huh? Ah? What?
The bodyguards look dumbfounded, but.
Michi over there and Edie are all my precious family. Also, Yomi and Luna, the girls who showed up earlier will enter your school Whose bodyguard are they?
Mariko asks wonderingly.
Well, we will introduce her soon
Ruriko followed it up.
Well then, I will be withdrawing for now Karen-san, please take a rest inside the mansion with Danna-sama
Misuzu tells the 12-year-old cutie sitting next to her.
Mizushima Karen-san, the girl she plans taking in as a pet.
Danna-sama, if you’d please Yeah, come here, Karen-san i.
Karen-san hesitates, but.
We cannot send you home until Grandfather finished talking with Mizushima house, besides, I will never forgive people who let a spy get their hands into Karen-san
Misuzu said.
Entrusting such a cute child to Tendou Otome, a spy of Kansai Yakuza, yeah, her parents must be crazy.
Also, if you stay here, the other children of nobility will continue to look at you
Yeah.
I now get why Edie wants us to go now.
The mood has calmed down, and the young ladies of the big three have become sworn sisters.
The other young ladies would want to talk to Misuzu, Momoko-neechan, and Sakurako.
They’re all sending glances here.
Putting Mariko, Momoko-neechan’s jester aside.
The problem with Mizushima house sending a spy on Kouzuki house’s party isn’t just with Kouzuki house but with all the nobility participating in this party.
They don’t want to get along with Mizushima Karen-san for now.
Therefore, she needs to leave, just like the Kurama sisters.
i understand
Karen-san replies with a trembling voice.
Kuromori-sama, please take care of me Yeah, let’s go
Karen-san stands up, and I escort her out.
Hey, you two stupid sisters! Don’t just limp down there, come with me
Edie told Anjou Mitama and Kinuka.
I’m not stupid! Stupid!
They were discouraged after their master part from them, yet.
When Edie throws an insult, their life went back.
Don’t you want to see your Master?
Edie suddenly brings out her ace.
Huh? What?
The Anjou sisters are surprised.
The two of them are still in the mansion. We’re going over there, do you not want to come? i’ll come! Right away!
The sisters stood up.
Well then, excuse us, everyone,
I bowed my head once again.
Now, if you look inside the courtyard, excluding Shou, Reika, and the maids, it’s all students in Misuzu’s school.
Edie says after we enter the mansion.
Now that she mentioned it.
Michi, Shie-san, and bodyguards all attend the same school.
Now that Edie and I, and also the Takakura sisters who aren’t enrolled in Misuzu’s school, are gone from the courtyard.
Tendou Otome, who became a bodyguard last week, is also gone.
Minaho-neesan, Margo-san.
If it’s just them, they’ll get to do as they please
Edie said.
Right. They can’t help but feel nervous when there’s an outsider, especially a male. Those girls are genuine young ladies after all
Minaho-neesan, who’s already inside the mansion, has said.
That was enough for your debut, what’s left is to let the girls enjoy by themselves
My debut.
Misuzu-san and the girls’ becoming sworn sisters is a great success but, that Kou-chan and Nee-chan relationship was a miracle Not really. Darling’s just cute
Minaho-neesan said. Edie replied.
But, Kouzuki-sama’s right, the training as young ladies is incredible
Minaho-neesan stares at the situation in the courtyard.
The girls in our school don’t behave that well
Now that she mentioned it.
When Jii-chan was talking, they were all silently listening.
They keep their courtesy, without showing any rush.
For instance, nobody among them took out their phone and took photos, did they?
Ah.
If it was in high school of ours, then they would take out their phone and capture photos if they’re at this party.
Women love taking photos, after all. I’m sure that they’re the same. But, they’re genuine young ladies, and so they know discretion when needed, and they would not take photos without permission unless Misuzu-san, the host of the party gives permission This is the man mansion of the Kouzuki house after all
Yeah, they cannot take photos as they please as it will expose information from the inside. And that’s a problem.
That’s why it’s a garden party today
Because we know that a spy is coming.
There’s hardly any chance to get inside the mansion if you host the party in the garden.
They won’t have any chance of finding out Jii-chan’s room and such.
Above all, it’s a problem if they circulate photos around
Minaho-neesan said.
Kuromori Kou has to remain as a mystery
Yeah, it would get problematic if a portrait photo of me gets leaked out.
But, the young ladies want to take photos of Reika and Misuzu
Yeah, Rei-chan’s a celebrity showing up on television.
Most of them want to take photos with Misuzu, Momoko-neechan, and Sakurako, who are now sworn sisters.
Therefore, Misuzu will prepare a time where they can take photos. Perhaps, using that wall as the background. The mansion’s not visible over there.
Minaho-neesan explains.
Therefore, you had to leave for the moment, Darling
Minaho-neesan and I can’t show up on commemorative photos.
That’s how it is.
Well, if we stay here, someone might use a polarized telephoto lens camera, and they’ll capture us. Let’s go inside
Minaho-neesan said.
The young ladies should have no more problems, but we don’t know about the bodyguards
Yeah, there might be another spy mixed in.
As long as the young ladies aren’t taking photos, the bodyguards will not take out their cameras without permission.
But once the commemorative photo time started, the bodyguards will have permission.
Pretending to take photos of the young ladies, and then they snap on other things.
You don’t have to worry about that
Edie said.
Most of the bodyguards in there are born in generations of bodyguard family and has been with the young lady since childhood. The bodyguards do receive the same education as young ladies. They’re attending the same school after all Oh, they also received the same etiquette lessons with their young lady. The other newly employed bodyguard in here is that Adelheid girl. Tsukiko, Yomi, and Luna checked them all earlier. You don’t have to worry about it anymore
It seems like Edie received a report from the three before I realized it.
There’s no more spy or any bad guys.
But, there’s still a possibility that they’re mistaken, so we’re going in this room Yes, we’ll let the girls enjoy themselves for now
Minaho-neesan said.
Yeah. Right.
A lot happened, the fuss about the spy, and the fear from Jii-chan.
We left the room facing the courtyard and head inside.
Mizushima Karen-san and Anjou sisters follow us timidly.
Ah, Papa!
Getting inside a slightly bigger room.
Papa! Papa! Papa!
Agnes wearing a beautiful white dress, jumps at me.
Koyomi-chan, on the other side, bows her head.
Geez, it’s only Koyomi-chan and me in here, I was so lonely
Agnes is kissing me.
We still have to introduce Agnes to the young ladies gathered today.
Agnes will be introduced as a relative of Kouzuki house, and she will join in school and get along with the young ladies.
Agnes is too beautiful that we have no choice but using the young lady as her setting.
I mean, she couldn’t work as a bodyguard or attendant either.
Agnes is far from young lady, she’s more of a princess.
Sensei, if you took a bit more time, then we would’ve gone back to the courtyard
Yomi said.
Oh, Tsukiko and Luna are in this room too.
Kyouko Messer-sama is still present. She never wants to meet us, so.
Tsukiko, the next shrine maiden, the one who holds the most power among the three.
It looks like Kyouko-san treats Tsukiko’s Miko power as a threat.
She cannot fling me up to air like how she did with Yomi and Luna after all
Yeah, she stopped the 12 and 14-year-old little sisters of Tsukiko by throwing them up to the air, making them lose focus, but.
Tsukiko, the oldest, has grown splendidly now.
Kou-sama, do I seem that heavy?
Well.
I don’t think so.
When we’re having cowgirl sex.
The tightness of Tsukiko’s vagina feels excellent.
The texture is irresistible.
Geez, Kou-sama.
Tsukiko’s reading my mind and blushed.
Nii-san is much better in sealing Miko power it seems
Luna said.
Oh right. If I recall lewd scenes with them, then.
Uwa! Nii-san!
I recall the feeling of Luna’s springy ass while I violate her from behind.
Ah, sorry No, I’m glad that you’re satisfied
Even the satisfaction from having sex with Luna is conveyed.
Huh? Papa, do you want to do it with Agnes?
Agnes noticed that the conversation’s going sexual, so she asked.
Not now. I don’t know when they’ll call me back Ugh, that’s unfortunate Later
I said.
Huh? Who are these girls?
Agnes noticed Mizushima Karen-san and the Anjou sisters who are still hesitating if they want to enter the room.
Are they gifts for Agnes?
Chapter 869. High Life Rite of Passage
Could they be gifts for Agnes?
Agnes’ eyes shine as she looks at girls of her age, Mizushima Karen-san, and Kinuka-san, the younger of the Anjou sisters.
Well, no. I don’t know what will happen to them for now
What I know is that Misuzu wants Mizushima Karen as her pet.
However, Kouzuki house and Mizushima house need to talk first.
Mizushima house undoubtedly allowed a spy from Kansai Yakuza to enter the household of the Kouzuki family.
Jii-chan will surely punish Mizushima house for that.
If not, the other families whose daughter came here today will not settle down.
Other young ladies have been dragged to danger after all.
The Anjou sisters are under Kouzuki house’s custody, but.
I don’t know what’s the plan for these girls.
I see. That’s unfortunate
Agnes says while pushing her cute breasts on me.
For now, this is Mizushima Karen-san, she is Misuzu’s guest, try to get along with her, okay?
She came here under Misuzu’s invitation, after all.
If I recall, you’re also 12, right? Yes. That’s right
Karen-san replies with a gloomy face.
Eeh? Really? Agnes is also 12! Luna and Koyomi-chan too!
Agnes said with a smile.
Then, since Papa instructed me, let’s get along! Nice to meet you! Luna, Koyomi-chan, be friendly with this one, okay? Okay I understand
Luna and Koyomi-chan replied with a friendly tone.
Also, Kinuka-san is 13, right? Mitama-san’s 18 if I recall correctly
I asked. The sisters show discontent.
That’s right What about it?
Oh, do these girls hate me?
I mean, they’re bodyguards of the Kurama house young ladies since birth.
I guess they don’t want to speak with someone, not from nobility.
Or should I say that they’re trying to keep it as few as possible?
You will stay here for a while
Minaho-neesan told the Anjou sisters.
What about Kurama Misato-sama and Arisu-sama? Sama!
The Anjou sisters glared at Minaho-neesan.
We have the order to follow. He and I will need to go to Kouzuki-sama to give a report. Perhaps, Kurama-san is over there, but, do you think you can go there without warning?
Minaho-neesan said.
That’s.
Mitama-san hesitates.
It’s the room of the head of Kouzuki house.
They can’t just barge in without permission.
I’ll negotiate for you to meet up with Kurama-san, but, well, it depends on Kouzuki-sama. I’m sure you understand, you served nobility after all
They know the power relationship between the Master and Servant.
They also know the great authority the head of Kouzuki house has.
If you do anything weird, then it’ll only put the Kurama house in further danger
Edie smiles.
The father of Kurama sisters broke down the Kurama Kaku, a traditional style Japanese garden and building, a place with lots of memories for Jii-chan and the old nobility.
He didn’t lend an ear on Jii-chan’s opposition, and foreign investors deceived him.
In the end, he couldn’t complete the building, because the funds were lost halfway.
If this goes on, all of Kurama house’s business will stagnate, and the business group will reach bankruptcy, which means the bankruptcy of Kurama house.
Earlier, Kaan-sama, and Misuzu-sama mentioned it. Their nobility status will not collapse. Kurama house do have the tradition and history backing them
Minaho-neesan said.
If that’s the case, Kouzuki-sama is thinking of saving Kurama house. But, he also needs to pay for his sins
In short, we are turning the daughters of the head of Kurama house into prostitutes.
Instead of paying up the debts of Kurama house.
Kurama house is given punishment for their disgrace.
If they don’t do that, Jii-chan and the other heads will never settle down.
If you show within that old man’s view, I’m sure that it will only offend him
Edie said.
Therefore, you should stay here We’ll tell you how the sisters are doing
I said.
Eh, Papa, you’re going out again?
Agnes clings to me.
Then, take Agnes with you too!
Err.
Kyouko-san’s also there, do you mind?
Minaho-neesan tells Agnes.
Kyouko-san? The odd auntie who jumps too high?
Oh, for Agnes.
The impression of Kyouko-san’s sudden appearance when she was confined in the basement has remained.
Well, yeah, she does jump around and breaks a lot of stuff, but she’s not odd, nor an auntie
I know that she’s watching this room through the security cameras.
After all, she’s Minaho-neesan’s teacher in that area.
That’s right. She’s a young and beautiful lady
Look. Minaho-neesan’s face is twitching.
Really?
Agnes looks blankly.
That’s right, Agnes If Papa says so. Then, go say it, Kyouko-san is very beautiful! Why? Let’s do it together
I speak aloud with Agnes.
Kyouko-san is. Kyouko-san is. Is very beautiful Is very beautiful
Geez.
Really?
Hey, Agnes.
It’s true Then, it’s true!
Agnes looked back.
Luna and Koyomi-chan! That’s how it is! Also.err. Karen Yes, Karen-chan, do you understand? yes
Yeah. That’s okay for now.
Then, could you wait here for a bit longer? And the party in the courtyard is left between the schoolgirls for now
We can introduce Agnes later.
Tsukiko, look after them Yes, Kou-sama
Tsukiko replied with a smile.
Tsukiko, the eldest, and the calmest is in here. I don’t have to worry anymore.
Darling, I’ll stay here too
Edie said.
I’m okay with the young and beautiful Kyouko, but the other one.
Yeah.
She’s not good at dealing with Miss Cordelia.
Edie had an experience where she’s almost turned to Miss Cordelia’s lesbian pet.
Okay. Then you can stay here too, Edie
If Edie stays, Anjou sisters will be in check.
I think that’s better
Tsukiko said.
Also, Kou-sama, may I have permission if the situation asks for it?
Situation?
Using Tsukiko’s Miko power?
They do carry a lot in their arms
Tsukiko looked at the Anjou sisters.
Oh, right.
These sisters should be thinking of leaving this room, taking the Kurama sisters and out of this mansion.
These girls do come up with some bold ideas and carry them out for real.
These were the sisters who tried to use Skylab Hurricane Mixer on that Kyouko Messer.
Tsukiko can read their mind if they come up with anything dangerous.
Yeah. You have my permission. Edie, cooperate with Tsukiko Got it
Edie smiles.
Sensei, leave it to us! Nii-san, it’s okay!
Yomi and Luna read my thoughts and replied.
Takakura sisters + Koyomi-chan with their Miko power, and Edie’s also here.
I don’t have to worry.
Then, get along
I patted Agnes’ milky white hair and said.
Knocking.
Enter
That’s Jii-chan’s voice.
I opened the door and entered the room with Minaho-neesan.
Yes. Good job, well, sit wherever you want
Jii-chan’s sitting on a big chair in a room about the size of 20 tatami mats.
Behind Jii-chan are Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san, his bodyguards.
Kyouko-san and Miss Cordelia are sitting on the sofa on the other side.
Also, the Kurama sisters are sitting on the sofa close to the door. They have a frightened look.
It’s a party, and yet, you’re not drinking and eating anything? Katsuko-kun, prepare some tea for them
Jii-chan tells Katsuko-nee, who’s dressed like a secretary.
Ah, no need. Misuzu and Ruriko hardly drank and ate anything. I feel sorry for them if I drink tea here
As the host of the party, they’re sitting with Kanou-san, Torii-san, and Kaan-san, away from the table of other young ladies.
Misuzu and Ruriko can’t get away from their table.
No, the Torii’s daughter brought sandwiches to their table. Besides, Kaan’s daughter has come, the maids will bring in drinks and food
Oh right, Kaan-san is the type who won’t hold back and say, Bring that here.
So, don’t worry much about those girls. You’re the one who didn’t drink or eat at all
All I did was raise my glass to the toast.
That’s right. Drink some tea at least
Katsuko-nee hands me a cup of tea.
Thanks
For now, I sit in the middle of Jii-chan and Kyouko-san.
Minaho-neesan sits next to me.
Still, Kaan’s daughter is right, you’re good at not being a hindrance
Jii-chan suddenly said.
In a place where there’s nothing but women, you never went and asserted yourself merrily I mean, it’s all women but me in our house too
I’m used to it.
I’m living with multiple women in a single roof.
Someone’s always with me too.
When taking a bath or going to sleep.
Even so. I’m sure that the girls have a good impression of you as well No, I hardly talked to them, it doesn’t matter That’s what’s great about it. The young ladies are fed up with greedy men
Katsuko-nee said.
All of them attend parties, you see? Naturally, men who ask them Are you from house? while grinning come one after another
Kouzuki Satoshi or Tsunoda.
Guys who love to pick up women are ordinary.
They all hardly care about men who come after them while showing a smirk on their face. They’re alert, more than anything. After all, the only attendees today are daughters of genuine nobility
Minaho-neesan tells me.
A thoughtless weird man will get to know them, and if they keep him company, then it will cause gossips to shame her. That lady from that house is so promiscuous, and she will have to live with that shame That’s their society? Those attending to their school are thoroughly trained to carry the honor of nobility. If it shames them, then they will feel sorry for their relatives and ancestors
Jii-chan said.
They’re the pampered young ladies in this age. If not, they cannot protect the nobility. That’s the reason why we don’t let daughters of upstarts and celebrities enter. If the parent is vulgar, the daughter is the same. Then, bad money drives out good money. If they get acquainted with rude people, then the girls will lose the modesty that was trained in them. Associating themselves with detestable men and become pregnant with their child. If that happens, the indecency they cause will affect the entire family I see.
If one marries into a daughter of nobility, they can create connections with various influential people.
Some guys would want to seduce the young ladies, trying to get under their skirt.
Human education is only until 20 years old. That’s what I think. Once humans learned the basics in those 20 years, they can construct their life afterward
Jii-chan tells me.
Most girls who graduate from Misuzu’s school enters university. It’s an age where women are accepted to take higher education. However, even when that girl graduates, she’ll never drink together with the male students nor join any small groups. They learn in high school that the it seems fun acts are meaningless. They will never associate themselves with men who act that way Err, that means; they won’t join drinking parties and circles? They know how much trouble it will cause their family if one associates herself with a man and become pregnant with a child. The problem is that she’s not alone. It’s not just her ancestor and family, but also the vassals that serve them for generations, all the families managed by businesses, and the people working under it will be affected by the disgrace she causes, and she knows that It’s not just herself who will be disgraced but everyone else as well. The post-war doctrine where if one takes responsibility for what he did, then their parents and siblings don’t matter has been passed down to the children. It’s where one can do whatever they want, for as long as they receive the punishment alone if they disgrace themselves. However, humans don’t live alone; they have to form a crowd and live in there. And the minimum limit of that group is the family Individual. Family. If they disgrace themselves, it will reach their family as well, and understanding that as you live your daily life is the duty of nobility. That view isn’t accepted by teachers in ordinary schools who are cultures with democracy after the second world war. Therefore, we had to keep the school closed outside the daughters of the nobility. It is so that the young ladies don’t accept teachings for those who don’t understand the high class That’s why Jii-chan, Kanou-san, and Kaan-san’s grandfathers did that.
They kept Japan’s best school for the young ladies from changing.
However, Misuzu suddenly chose a man who has no relationship with nobility. This is an astounding event to the girls in that school
Me?
About 90% of the nobility ladies are married to their fiancé. Their free love isn’t accepted
Ah.
It’s to protect the tradition of their family.
They marry their future partner their parents chose.
No, it’s a misunderstanding in the current age of Japan. It’s only a hundred years ago when people are free to marry who they choose. Marriage was when the parents want to tie bonds with their families But I think Romeo and Juliet was quite an old story?
I asked.
Marriage and Love are different
Jii-chan said.
Do you know Marie Antoinette’s lover, Forsen?
who?
The masses know that Marie Antoinette, the Queen of France, had a lover. Naturally, her husband Louis
XVI
Her husband knows?
However, that didn’t mean that Forsen was punished for being the Queen’s lover. Marriage and love were different. Marriage is an act of combining two families, and so the wife or husband doesn’t need to love the other. Marriage needs no love. That’s the culture in the European royal court for long Jii-chan said. King Arthur’s Queen Guinevere and Arthur’s loyal servant, Lancelot, were in love with each other. Then, King Arthur knows that. But that relationship doesn’t hurt King Arthur and Lancelot’s master-servant relationship, and the Queen isn’t punished for her faithlessness Haa. Marriage is a family and family problem, so it’s not about trying oneself to the one you prefer. Therefore, love is a separate subject. That’s their thought
what the hell?
However, in Christian Europe, women had relative rights. In Europe, women had the right to possess fortunes. However, in the East, women had no such rights. Therefore, only men had rights to free love. Before the war, adultery is a crime. But it only applies to women. The husband can cheat all he wants, have some lovers, and even keep a concubine but it’s not a sin, but in case the woman goes with a man other than her husband, she’s punished O-Okay. The current moral sense of people was born from the middle class after the industrial revolution, where most families are a husband and wife, and their children, a small unit. Before the industrial revolution, family means a gathering of multiple households. Without that much number, one cannot do agriculture because mechanization doesn’t exist yet. The solidarity of the family is crucial, and do the question of who’s marrying who? Would they marry someone in the household? Or would they reinforce relationships with other households? It’s a long process to decide.
Yeah, you need a large family to tend on the farmland.
There’s also the problem of the soil and watering spots.
Then, it has its advantage. I think you know it already, but there are fewer cases of divorces among couples that had their parents decide their marriage than those who married in love. It’s a relationship between families, and so, if any problem occurs, then it’s not just the parents but the whole household involved. They will look after the small child and help them out in one way or another Yeah, it’s a large family, after all. Also, people who can’t marry will not exist. As long as one doesn’t have a significant flaw, then the son or daughter will find a marriage partner in the family
Oh, I get it.
The nobility is one large family. Therefore, we still try to do the ways of the old
I see. Kouzuki house’s branch family is just a branch family.
Therefore, they can seduce and chase after women.
But, for the members of the main house, that’s not allowed.
And yet, Misuzu-chan suddenly announced marrying you
Katsuko-nee smiled.
Furthermore, Kouzuki-sama gave his permission. Then, it’s natural for them to want and see what kind of man he is, don’t you think?
Minaho-neesan?
In short, most of the girls today came to see you. I think that is Kaan-sama’s main objective?
Me?
Then, Misuzu-chan and the young ladies were talking about the situation in Kouzuki house, right?
Katsuko-nee said.
Oh, Kouzuki house has no male heir, so they have to marry one into the daughters.
That convinced the young ladies. And since they saw that you’re not a bad guy, they accepted it It’s great that you are well behaved. Furthermore, you’re the only male in there, so you stood out. Despite that, you never asserted yourself, just letting Misuzu take the spotlight
Jii-chan said.
Misuzu-chan and Ruriko-chan also passed. Ordinary girls would show themselves flirting with their boyfriend in front of people, but those girls were firm, and they never cling to you more than necessary, did they?
Now that she mentioned it.
They didn’t.
Women feel irritated when others are flirting in front of them. But, if the couple show a natural atmosphere where others see that they love each other, that they trust each other, nobody will look at you hatefully i see. Well, even so, some of them should still malaise with Misuzu-chan, but Kaan-sama’s young lady, the leader of the group, glossed it over
Momoko-neechan did?
After all, it’s Misuzu-chan’s hosted party, and before anyone noticed, Kaan-sama’s young lady is the one giving instructions
Right, pledging as sworn sisters and such.
That’s good. Kaan’s daughter took the spotlight, strengthening Misuzu’s status
Jii-chan said.
The girls who came to this party will surely solidify as a single group. Kaan’s daughter will be the leader, and Misuzu will be the vice-leader. No, that’s for the better. She won’t have to stand out. After all, Kaan’s daughter loves to be conspicuous Momoko-neechan’s an attention seeker. The gathering today serves as the rite of passage as a cooperative body. To ease the tension. Kyouko-kun’s attack, apprehending the spy, and my voice raise their anxiety. When I was scolding Kaan’s daughter, the girls in the courtyard also feel that I’m scolding them. It doesn’t matter if I kept on talking back then. They fear my scolding, and when I gave forgiveness, they felt relief. Furthermore, I opened up to them with my secret Secret? The Kakka part
Minaho-neesan whispers.
Oh that. Were you okay telling them that?
That the people calling Jii-chan Kakka were looking down on him.
Jii-chan has no history of becoming an ambassador, and yet, he made people believe that they have to call him Kakka because he was a former ambassador.
Where others don’t investigate before meeting up with a VIP.
It’s okay
Jii-chan laughs.
Those girls will return home and talk about what I told them. However
Yeah, historically, people who call him Kakka were the upstarts.
Therefore, calling Jii-chan like that would mean that they’re the same as them.
The parents can’t do anything about it anyway
Huh?
Kouzuki-sama never talked about How he wants to be addressed
Minaho-neesan said.
And I order my subordinates to forbid themselves from calling me anything other than Kakka
Right, whatever the Kakka means behind the scenes.
Shou-neechan and Rei-chan still calls Jii-chan Kakka,
That’s because Jii-chan ordered them.
My subordinates will still call me Kakka
Yeah, then the subordinates will continue to call Jii-chan Kakka as means of etiquette.
Instead, some of them will feel troubled of they don’t address me as Kakka. Only their daughters came to this gathering after all
I see. those who haven’t come here don’t know what’s the story behind Kakka.
Therefore, they will continue to call him that.
And if among them, someone stopped addressing him Kakka and called him Kouzuki-sama instead, then.
They’ll get cut off from others, stand out, and probably provoke antipathy.
In the end, they will pretend they didn’t hear their daughter’s story and still address me as Kakka That’s the best way not to aggravate people
Jii-chan doesn’t hate the fact that he’s addressed as such.
I’m sure that they will feel awkward about it, so I will be having fun watching them look troubled
Jii-chan shows a malicious smile.
What’s essential is that the ladies who came here today felt that the head of Kouzuki house opened up and told them a secret. Their extreme tension will ease up. Everyone had the same experience so that friendship will sprout. Therefore, everyone in the party is friendly with each other and enjoying the night There’s no longer factions dividing them.
Momoko-neechan’s leading everyone to a pleasant conversation.
That’s for the better. Those girls will become valuable allies who help each other for Misuzu, Ruriko, Yoshiko, and you
Chapter 870. High Life Activation
Now then, is that all for the stubborn old man’s story?
Kyouko-san speaks up after listening to my conversation with Jii-chan.
Well, if you ask me, you should only take half of the old man’s advice
Kyouko-san snorts.
People who live in the upper class use their arrogant reasoning to talk about how the world works. I won’t say that it’s all wrong, but don’t accept it without questioning either
Yeah.
Jii-chan belongs to nobility.
Furthermore, he’s the head of Kouzuki house, someone with ties to nobility throughout history.
From my perspective, the girls are caged in a zoo. They seem to have no problems in their life, but they’re not free. Don’t you think it’s the worst to have someone order you for your whole life, like You’ll marry this man and give birth to an offspring Yeah, Kyouko-san’s opinion is correct too, but. I wonder how far men will look down on women until they’re satisfied?
That opinion of her is reasonable, but.
Unfortunately, we’re also a part of the livestock
Jii-chan said.
It’s not that men are free, and women have their lives decided by men. Those born in nobility always come with the inconvenience. Men aren’t differentiated from women
Right, men can’t just marry out of love either.
Especially for the head of the household.
He has both the assets and authority. He has to consider not just his family but also the other houses as well.
Even I didn’t marry the woman I wanted
Jii-chan loved Ruriko’s grandmother.
Yet, Jii-chan couldn’t marry anyone other than what the family picked for him.
Who cares about men. You can get married and cheat all you want. I mean, you played a lot, didn’t you?
Kyouko-san said.
Indeed. You’re right
Jii-chan smiles wryly.
But, you talked about how it’s only women who are blamed for adultery, but, in modern Japan, it just changed to instant divorce when the woman cheats, right? The husband can talk about how he goes to clubs and have sex while keeping it a secret from his wife. Still, if the wife goes to a club, and had sex with a young man, the parents, siblings, relatives, friends, acquaintances, and even business associates say divorce that wife right away, don’t they?
Well, that’s probably true.
If the husband cheats, then the conversation goes. Well, calm down, don’t resort to divorce, but.
If the wife is exposed to visit a host club frequently and even had sex with a young man.
Then, she will face a barrage of criticism from society.
Humans always have sexual desire. And in men who were born in nobility, how do you resolve that?
She asks Jii-chan.
In the case of the men in the head house, most families send over a mistress to ease up the male’s lust when he reaches puberty. Seeking from daughters of the subordinates who served for generations And letting that woman become his sex partner? If left alone, the man can have an unfavorable lover after all
Women coming after them to make a child of nobility.
Well, it’s the evil adults sending girls to the young man.
There was one when I was at this boy’s age
Jii-chan looked at me and said.
She was young, beautiful, and is loyal to her master. She took all of my lust when I was young. I was able to stray away from seduction, thanks to her. At that time, Kuromori’s brothel has become the social gathering spot for the big shots. Though I’m the next head of Kouzuki house, I was still too young to enter. Right, I think I was at the age where I graduated from university when I entered. When I was handling a few projects myself, my father finally let me enter the Kuromori tower In short, Jii-chan, during his student days, had sex with the vassal’s daughter. And where is she now?
I asked. Jii-chan.
She’s still alive. Staying in this mansion
Huh?
I feel sorry for her, but since she was the mistress, she couldn’t bear a child. Therefore, I had her serve me for the rest of her life. She’s also been taking care of Misuzu and Ruriko So what do you think about changing someone else’s life like that?
Kyouko-san asks.
Nothing in particular. That was her fate That woman is sacrificed as a tool to take care of your sexual needs, and yet, you only say that it’s her fate?
Jii-chan.
If you’re going to say that, then it’s also my fate to become the head of Kouzuki house as I was born the eldest son. When I was 15, there were three girls brought to me, and I was told, You must pick one So, I chose. I’m the one who made a choice, but I had to choose one, regardless of my thoughts. I didn’t have the option either Jii-chan’s parents and relatives make a choice.
No, the heir before Jii-chan, and the person before, they’ve gone through that.
Furthermore, I know well whose vassal’s daughter is the girl I chose. The daughters themselves show up in the main house since childhood. I had to choose one of them as the mistress, and I must never look at other girls. In fact, I share the same bed with nobody but the mistress from my student days until marriage Jii-chan said. It was a great practice. Soon after that, I lived a married life with the wife coming from another nobility. The mistress taught me how to live together with women, how do they think, what makes them angry, what I shouldn’t do, everything Oh my, that’s something unheard of from the famous stud, Kouzuki Shigetaka
Kyouko-san laughs.
I chase after women to socialize with men back in Showa. That’s the reason why they have to see me as a lively man That’s what you were doing at first, but you got addicted to it, didn’t you? When I was past my 40’s, my wife nor mistress can’t keep me company anymore. Women’s sexual desire declines, but men don’t. I wanted to have sex with women more, so, well, you know the rest
Jii-chan gives an explanation while showing a pained look.
Oh well. I would feel sorry if I continue to torment an old man’s past. However
Kyouko-san glared at Jii-chan.
Do they still let a young mistress deal with a young heir’s sexual desire even now? Perhaps. Kouzuki clan has none but daughters, but for nobility with young heirs. Giving such warm care on men, and yet the girls are neglected, aren’t they? Putting them in a zoo called prestigious school taught to not talk to anyone with a lower status, to ignore them when they try to strike a conversation, and holding off their sexual desire until they become a bride of another nobility That’s. I knew that Misuzu had an intense lust since she was a child, so I asked Nagisa-kun to deal with it through homosexuality But, Ruriko and Yoshiko-san wasn’t taught any sexual knowledge
I speak my thoughts.
Indeed. That was surely oppression
Jii-chan admits.
You see, I can’t stomach the idea that the boys can have a daughter of a vassal to ease up his lust, and yet, the girls need to suppress it
Kyouko-san said.
If the son and heir have to hold back, then I get it. But why is it that it’s just the girls treated like sweet angels? They’re also living beings Hmm, you’re right. Allow me to ponder on that idea next time. I cannot do anything about it alone
It’s for the whole nobility, so Jii-chan can’t decide the answer himself.
I mean.
They won’t allow the young ladies to have a guy, just like how boys have their mistress.
Men’s and women’s lust is different.
I’m a guy, so I want to have sex every day, but.
Women don’t need to do it every day to ease up their spirits.
Although, there’s a day in a month where they want to have sex like crazy.
At times like that, I gladly keep them company.
Furthermore, Shou-neechan and Rei-chan, those who are usually stiff and tense, become too disheveled.
Well, I don’t really care, it has nothing to do with me
Kyouko-san changed her attitude.
Then, she looked at me.
Do you get it? They’re called upper-class, and nobility, but what they are is just a minority of nearly extinct people. They possess some odd and unique cultures and customs. It has rarity value, so you might want to keep it safe, but, well, that’s for you to judge. Although, You don’t belong to their group, so you don’t have to follow the customs and culture of this old man That’s right, I’m no nobility. You made Misuzu, and Ruriko your woman, and it’s their decision to live together with you, so, don’t get swept away by the nobility’s society
Yeah.
She’s right.
I should be aware of what kind of rules and structure they have, but.
I cannot let the nobility crush me down.
Old man, you too, you should keep it in moderation or your granddaughters will escape with this boy. Going somewhere unrelated to nobility and Kouzuki house
Kyouko-san told Jii-chan.
What’s fascinating about him is his fair sense of values, right? He treats a daughter of nobility, and a daughter of a poor person equally, doesn’t he? I’d prefer to see that you don’t break that good part in him Kyouko-san speaks in displeasure. Why go that far?
Jii-chan asks Kyouko-san.
Well, I’m the substitute father of Kuromori house. If I don’t voice my complaints, who would? His big sis, Minaho, can’t even make complaints with you directly
Kyouko-san.
Not a substitute mother, but a father? Right. Ain’t that more fun?
Kyouko-san laughs.
With that said, treat my family with care. Old man.Oh, by the way, Minaho
Kyouko-san looks at Minaho-neesan.
You know, just beautiful onee-san will do Have you ever heard someone called beautiful and young?
I knew it.
She was listening to our conversation earlier.
If she’s called beautiful, then it’s natural that she’s also young, isn’t it? I mean, are you saying that I don’t look youthful at all? Not really Where’s the sorry? Sorry, Kyouko-san
Minaho-neesan bowed her head.
Too soft Sorry! Kyouko-oneesan! Well done
Oh, to Minaho-neesan.
Kyouko-san is just like Minaho-neesan to me.
She’s the elder of the family.
And Kyouko-san dotes on Minaho-neesan like a little sister.
Well then, Cordelia and I will be excusing ourselves now. Kyouko Messer has to be away from the mansion before you could send off your young ladies, right?
There are no adult bodyguards in the party grounds.
The people outside don’t know that Kyouko Messer’s in here.
However, once the party ends and the young ladies are sent home, they will talk about seeing me, Rei-chan, and Kyouko Messer’s intrusion.
The young ladies think that Kyouko Messer’s nothing but the bad guy role in Rei-chan’s show, but.
The professionals know her as the top brass of the international crime syndicate, Malandro.
Naturally, they’ll be cautious.
Therefore, it’s necessary to release information that Kyouko Messer’s already gone before we reach the time for the young ladies to return home.
Anyway, I take the job. We’re going to Kansai right now
Kansai?
Geez, Mafia’s always so trivial, no matter what country they come from. They’re a waste of people, time, and money, all for what? For pestering people? Pestering?
I asked.
That’s right. Their objective for sending in a spy today was for harassment. If not, they will not use some disposable, like that girl
That girl. Tendou Otome?
Kansai Yakuza’s sending a message that they can send in spies close to the young ladies, just like her
Minaho-neesan said.
And that kind of harassment is what shows that they’re weak
Kyouko-san replied.
They’re not a monolith group anyway. Their opinion inside is all over the place, unfocused that they’re stalling. And so, we’re not even going with harassments and just attack What does that mean?
I don’t get it.
That means that the spy just now was a sacrificial pawn. It’s meaningless to send someone like her alone in the main mansion of Kouzuki house, and furthermore, a place and time where the aces of Kouzuki SS are gathered. Also, these scary men are in here Kyouko-san looks at Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san behind Jii-chan.
Yeah, it’s a party for the young ladies of nobility, and each one of them has their bodyguards.
Rei-chan and Shou-neechan are present.
To top all that, Jii-chan’s at home with his two strongest personal bodyguards.
Their aim is simple, it’s to mess up the party sponsored by Kouzuki house to offend the other nobility. It’s their plan to have the spy captured from the beginning
Kyouko-san said.
And the enemy knows the Miko power. Therefore, the spy doesn’t know anything unnecessary, and is most likely filled in with false information
If Miko power is used to seek into Tendou Otome’s thoughts.
Then, all the information gathered will be only fake.
Then, once we gather the evidence, it will take time to analyze it. Using that opportunity, the Yakuza will use their next move
I see.
Wreck the party, stain the reputation of Kouzuki house, and use false information to buy time.
Therefore, we’re ignoring the interrogation and just go for the offensive
Tendou Otome’s interrogation will only take time.
But, she did use Qi skill, didn’t she? Are they really just going to send someone with her talent as a sacrificial pawn?
I asked. Kyouko-san;
Not thinking the worth of the piece and shooting it up like that is the proof that they’re panicking and is split up
Yeah, if the inside is quarreling, then they can’t pick the right person in the right place.
They’re even forced to use someone with skill as a sacrificial pawn.
As for that girl, Tendou Otome, do you want her, Kyouko-san? I mean after everything’s done
Minaho-neesan asks Kyouko-san.
I don’t want her
Kyouko-san replied immediately.
Is that so? I thought that her type would be more suited for Kyouko-san’s organization than Kouzuki SS
She’s a daughter raised in the Yakuza society after all.
I mean, Minaho-neesan’s already starting to think about what to do with Tendou Otome.
Oh right, she’s registered in the analysis team of Kouzuki SS.
Personality-wise, she’s closer to us, but she’s useless. The shrine maidens have her in control, right?
Tsukiko used her power to order to have Tendou Otome obey her.
I don’t want to risk hiring someone who might double-cross me unexpectedly
Kyouko-san said.
No, well, it’s Tsukiko. I don’t think she’ll order her to give trouble to Kyouko-san
I said. Kyouko-san.
Well, that’s only because the shrine maidens all belong to you, don’t they? The other girl also can grasp minds I mean, there’s no need to worry Only for as long as you’re alive!
Kyouko-san said.
If you were to die for some reason right now, I don’t know what your women will do
Huh?
Some of them might do something outrageous out of despair. Right, Minaho?
Minaho-neesan.
Right. If you were to die right now, I don’t know what I might do. I might take all the students in the school along and commit suicide No, wait Isn’t Nei going to do the same? Her extremely unbalanced heart has finally calmed down thanks to you
Kyouko-san said.
Misuzu and Ruriko too. If you were to die now, I can’t imagine what they could do
jii-chan.
The Takakura shrine maidens too. To them, you’re an exceptional existence. Therefore, they’ll do anything for you. No matter what it is
Well, yeah.
I think so too.
Therefore, be sure to treasure your life. Everyone’s relying on you now. Don’t force yourself too hard. You don’t have to persevere too hard. What’s most necessary is to stay healthy
Kyouko-san smiled.
This young, beautiful, and reliable Kyouko-san says so, so don’t forget it, okay? That’s amazing of you
Jii-chan said after Kyouko-san, and Miss Cordelia left.
To think that Kyouko Messer’s worrying for a man That just shows his splendor
Katsuko-nee speaks.
She didn’t join up the conversation when Kyouko-san was in here.
Well, Kyouko-san and Katsuko-nee have this subtle sense of distance.
Jii-chan was Katsuko-nee’s past customer, and so they can talk intimately, but.
It’s only women around his daily life, but he’s okay with it. And when everyone takes a bath together, he only sees it as natural Umu, and he was calm in a party with nobody but women He’s the type that floats in the atmosphere. He never asserts himself, and he never clashes with anyone. He accepts people for who they are, and so he always fits
That’s not it.
I just.
I’ve been forced to hide my presence inside my house since I was young.
My mother ignores me.
Therefore, I just am good at having no presence.
Now then, since Kyouko-kun and her group are doing their job, let’s head for the other one
Jii-chan looks at the Kurama sisters in the corner of the room.
Do you know why I let you sit in while we converse with Kyouko Messer? no.
Misato-san shakes her head.
Arisu-san.
is it because we’re no longer daughters of nobility and can’t come back home anymore?
Jii-chan smiles.
Correct. Currently, as you can see, you have no father nor family to talk to
Then, he looked at Minaho-neesan.
It looks like the younger has some promise However, she’s still 13. Kuromori will no longer use young girls
Minaho-neesan herself was 12 when she became a prostitute.
Hmm. You’re right.although, the sister also has some allure, so she will sell enough Yes. Some prefer timid girls like her
Minaho-neesan replies.
I knew it, Kurama Misato-san will become a prostitute.
aah Onee-sama, it’s okay. Arisu’s here with you
The little sister embraces her elder sister firmly.
Well, they are for later. We have something else we need to finish up before that
Jii-chan looks at me.
Bring Mizushima’s daughter here
Mizushima Karen-san?
Kyouko-kun started moving, so I have to unsettle Mizushima house
Mizushima holdings’ president.
He sent a Kansai Yakuza’s spy, Tendou Otome, as his granddaughter’s bodyguard for today’s party.
Besides, doesn’t Misuzu want that girl?
Jii-chan smiles.
Then I have to finish the discussion before Misuzu sends them home from the party
Jii-chan, he intends to seek approval from the Mizushima house.
-Because Misuzu wants to keep Karen-san as a pet?
Chapter 871. High Life Demotion
I’ll do it. If you go there, Agnes will just follow you
Minaho-neesan said, then bowed to Jii-chan, and left the room.
Yeah, the impression Agnes gave earlier is that she wants Mizushima Karen-san as her friend.
But I can’t bring Agnes together here.
I mean, the atmosphere will get intense later.
Even so, I wonder Jii-chan is leaving the Kurama sisters in here?
Kurama sisters came to Misuzu’s party and tried to make an appeal to Jii-chan to save Kurama house.
Then, Jii-chan refused them, all in front of the young ladies.
Then that means.
They’re in despair that Kurama house is already in ruins, but they don’t know that they’re to be sold to the Kuromori brothel.
I don’t know how much their father, the head of Kurama house, knows.
Maybe Jii-chan will call the head of Kurama house and talk about it in front of the sisters.
Despite that, Kurama house’s matters are put aside.
And now we’re dealing with Mizushima house who brought a spy here.
Onee-sama, please strengthen your heart. Arisu’s here with you Yes, I know
As usual, the younger encourages the elder sister.
Then.
Excuse me
Minaho-neesan comes back with the nervous-looking Mizushima Karen-san.
I would like to apologize for the awful trouble I have caused this time
She bows her head.
That’s an admirable attitude, but nothing will happen even if you apologize
Jii-chan speaks coldly.
This is a problem between Mizushima and Kouzuki house, no, with all the nobility that participated in this party
Tendou Otome’s infiltration is a big scandal among the nobility involved.
The fact that Tendou Otome was able to enter the school for the young ladies generates the worry that she might’ve gathered information about the young ladies and revealed it to the Yakuza.
Even in today’s party, she teamed up with the lesbian partner of hers. She tried to pick a fight with Misuzu, spreading false rumors, trying to lower the evaluation of Kouzuki house.
The person who allowed that infiltration is a problem between all nobility.
Karen-san, the daughter in elementary school grade, can apologize, but it will do nothing.
It is as you say. I’m still young, and so I’m not qualified to take responsibility for this blunder
Karen-san speaks in a dignified tone.
I know that you didn’t bring that hoodlum from your own will
Hoodlum. The spy from Kansai Yakuza, Tendou Otome.
It’s your father, or grandfather, who told you that you will have a bodyguard. Therefore, the sin all falls to Mizushima-kun. I’m not blaming you
Jii-chan speaks kindly, but his expression is cold.
I thank you for your word, but I was aware that she will cause problems. Despite that, I brought her as my bodyguard That is why I’m saying that you couldn’t refuse your father’s order
Jii-chan speaks in slight displeasure.
Right. It’s Karen-san’s father and grandfather’s fault.
Karen-san herself is innocent.
However.
Even so, I have my personal reasons
Mizushima-san replies with resolve.
I’m aware that I cannot stay as nobility with that reason
You mean?
I may be young, but I’m still the daughter of Mizushima house. Whatever situation I’m involved in once I’m outside the house, I think of myself as the representative of the family
She’s the daughter of the head house.
People will look at her, no matter where or when.
The Daughter of house is raised with the honor of that family.
Therefore, regarding the blunders Mizushima house has created, I also am equally guilty. My father and grandfather’s sin is the sin of the family. Therefore, I need to receive punishment as I belong to the same house Karen-san is sweating on her forehead.
She’s doing all her best to face the fearsome head of Kouzuki house.
Especially that today’s party doesn’t have only Kouzuki-sama’s family, the seniors I respect and love, and all my precious friends are present. I brought someone dangerous with me without resistance. Such blunder is unforgivable That’s.
Everyone sees Karen-san as innocent, but.
Even so, some ill-feeling will remain if left alone.
Karen-san needs some formal punishment, or she cannot stay in school any longer.
Kouzuki-sama, I know that you will bestow punishment on Mizushima house. Then, please include me in the people who will receive it. And I ask of you, please do not let the penalty reach my father’s servants, the businesses under Mizushima holdings, and the workers. I humbly beg Karen-san bows her head.
Jii-chan.
Cunning Kouzuki-sama?
Karen-san looks at Jii-chan in surprise.
You were doing well in the first half, but you said too much on the last one. I can sense artificiality
Artificiality?
A young girl like you talking with that attitude would be too pitiful to look at, that you would think of saving her, but.
He stares at Karen-san.
Was that your father or grandfather’s teachings?
That if Tendou Otome is exposed, she has to explain and apologize to Jii-chan.
Was that an order of her grandfather?
No, those were all my thoughts
Karen-san looked straight at Jii-chan and said.
If that’s the case, you’re a cunning girl
Jii-chan snorts.
Very well. I will know the truth soon enough. However
Jii-chan looks at the Kurama sisters.
You’re just 12, but you can come up with such praiseworthy views. Kurama Arisu-kun is 13, and Kurama Misato-kun is 18, aren’t you two? You’ve stayed in this room for so long and yet you never tried to make such an appeal, I wonder why?
Huh?
The crying elder and the caring younger. Do you not know that you represent the Kurama house?
i see.
The Kurama sisters remained afraid when they were brought to Jii-chan’s room.
that’s because we thought that it would be impolite to Kouzuki-sama if we say anything
Arisu-san says in a panic.
Hmph, you can give all your excuses later. Didn’t you accept Misuzu’s invitation as a pretext to appeal about Kurama house’s wretched condition to me? But, Kouzuki-sama reprimanded us before the party started A single scolding, and you already gave up? What will happen to the tradition of Kurama house? If your house collapses, how will you apologize to your ancestors? How do you explain it to the workers of the Kurama Kaku group? i’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!
Kurama Misato-san apologizes to Jii-chan while spilling tears in her eyes.
Enough! I’m putting you off for later! I will deal with Mizushima house now
Oh, so that’s it.
To stir up the sense of danger of the Kurama sisters.
He purposely ignores them after letting them in the room.
And in the end, they’re put to later, and Mizushima house is placed first.
Their pride is shattered into pieces.
Mental assault has started.
kouzuki-sama!
Kurama Arisu tries to connect in a hurry.
I told you to stay silent, didn’t I? I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!
Kurama Misato-san cries again.
That agonizing cries of her are putting pressure on Mizushima Karen-san.
Katsuko-kun, could you give Mizushima house a call? Certainly
Katsuko-nee makes a phone call, just like a secretary.
This flow of events, it’s been rallied beforehand.
It’s connected to Mizushima-sama now Hmm
Katsuko-nee said Jii-chan pushed a switch on the tabletop.
It’s Kouzuki kakka, i’m very sorry for this occasion
An old voice comes from the speaker.
Perhaps, it’s the head of Mizushima house, Karen-san’s grandfather.
I will not give excuses. A Kansai Yakuza intruded into our house. When I come to, I couldn’t run away, and I had to follow what they tell us. And thus, it leads to this scandal
The old man narrates.
Then, so what do you intend to do?
Jii-chan asks.
that is, of course, I will take responsibility and will retire from all my posts in Mizushima holdings. And my son will. That’s not enough. Not enough at all
Jii-chan cuts it off.
Then, shall my son stay away from Mizushima holdings? Or do you want Mizushima house to leave their hands from Mizushima holdings?
Jii-chan.
I don’t care about that. I have no interest in Mizushima holdings. Try not to do any trivial negotiations with me
Jii-chan speaks harshly.
Mizushima house can back off from Mizushima holdings, but you still are in control of most of the businesses. There’s no difference even if Mizushima house no longer has jurisdiction on Mizushima holdings that’s. Your plan is to reach a compromise with me and do whatever you want after that
Oh.
If Karen-san’s grandfather leaves his post and has his son succeed.
He knows that Jii-chan would reject it.
Thus, he’ll pretend to do what Jii-chan tells him, he won’t let his son take the managerial position, and the story ends.
In reality, the Mizushima house is still the largest stockholder of the company.
He could return as the top position in the company anytime he wants.
Besides, you caused this scandal on purpose with that goal in mind, didn’t you?
Jii-chan said.
no, it wasn’t on purpose. This case is only because the Yakuza coerced us, and we can’t do anything I have a report on the many periods of Mizushima holdings’ administration. It’s quite an achievement to be this corrupt Huh? No, well.
The old man’s voice goes higher.
Did you know about this joke from when the second world war ended?
Jii-chan speaks.
A country in economic collapse, and yet, internally, branching out and conquering various powers. Because they protect their vested interests and power, the social system can never reform. If things went that way, the country’s demise is definite. Thus, someone suggested of electing a new minister of government yes If that’s the case, then there’s no other choice but war. We will declare war on the strongest nation, America
Declaring war on America?
Naturally, our country will be defeated. We might be punished as war criminals. However, our country can board on the victor, America, and rebuild. They will send thousands of millions as economic assistance, and they will collaborate in breaking down the old attitude, creating infrastructure, medical care, and education. We will lose the war and rebuild America will rebuild our country What the hell is that? Actually, after the second world war, America did assist various countries to recover. America doesn’t declare war to reform and rebuild a country’s economy, but.
Jii-chan said.
Your goal this time is basically that, isn’t it?
Ah.
It’s my belief that nobility must not collapse, that we must not shut it down. Most nobility was lost in the war. Back then, we all had our hands full from just protecting our house from collapse and the evil trying to attack us. Therefore, there were plenty of families we couldn’t save. To repent from that, I thought of not letting any more nobility disappear, no matter what yes, I’m aware that Kakka thinks that way
The old man from Mizushima said.
That is why you purposely created this scandal, making me intervene with your company, pour funds to your company, compensate your personnel. And have Mizushima Holdings, which is near its collapse, recover, Am I wrong?
Jii-chan wouldn’t end it with just removing Mizushima house’s members from their management ranks.
Kouzuki group will give aid and let Mizushima holdings recover.
Mizushima house is a major stockholder, and so they are okay with it as long as it is revived.
Thinking that they’d use Jii-chan’s sentiment for nobility, what a horrible plan.
then, would you not give assistance?
The old man is in surprise.
You have a big misunderstanding. What I want to remain for the next generation is the nobility, not the company the nobility has however, if this goes on, Mizushima holdings will collapse. If that happens, Mizushima houses’ assets will all go away That won’t happen
Jii-chan said.
Mizushima house will remain as nobility. However, Mizushima holdings’ enterprise group will be split and sold off sold off? All the current businesses and employers will stay as is, but without your affiliation, they seem companies that can raise their achievements. Other companies will be transferred to rival firms. If we’re to consider the lives of the employees, then that would be for the best. They have no future as a business if they stay inside the incompetent group, which is Mizushima holdings you mean we have to let go of the Mizushima holdings group?
Mizushima said, Jii-chan.
That way of thinking is what allowed the Kansai crime syndicate to get into you
He speaks coldly.
Mizushima house, no, it’s you who had no management ability as the head of your own group company. That’s all there is to it. Do not cause any more troubles to the society than this, back off.then I can help you after putting things in order Jii-chan said. Gather the assets of the Mizushima house and transform it into a foundation. You can keep the culture of your ancestors with it. I will guarantee that Mizushima house can keep their honor and social status, just like Kanou house Oh, basically giving them only the necessary honorary position and social organization.
Enough to keep them alive.
It’s as if Mizushima house is dead
The old man speaks in a dispirited tone.
Losing Mizushima holdings is just. Then, fall into ruin along with Mizushima holdings
Jii-chan said.
Sending in a subordinate of a crime syndicate in my residence will rouse anger to all nobility. I can proclaim that I will destroy Mizushima house and they will all support me
All of the nobility that has business will stop making transactions with Mizushima holdings at once.
And this decision isn’t just mine, Kaan and Kanou agreed to it
It’s not just Kouzuki house but all of the big three?
that’s.all of the nobility forsaking Mizushima house It’s the result of what you’ve done. You should’ve been prepared for this kakka. Oh, as for your granddaughter, she will stay in my house. She will marry the man I pick for her and inherit Mizushima house. This girl is cunning and bold. And she’s also intelligent. At least, better than you or your son. She will still belong to Mizushima house, be grateful please wait. Karen is my precious granddaughter If she’s precious, why would you entrust her to a criminal?
A harsh rebuke.
that’s.uhm I’m ending the call. It’s futile to talk to someone like you. You’re insincere nor earnest please wait! kakka!
Jii-chan hangs up the call without responding.
Then, he makes another call.
It’s me. If Mizushima calls, don’t transfer it to me. You deal with it. Also, move forward with the plan on dividing Mizushima holdings. It’s okay, he cried immediately, so you know what to do. Also, make adjustments, so Kaan and other houses benefit. They have to pay each family for the inconvenience they caused. The families will not be satisfied unless you do that Oh, It’s the cost of putting the precious young ladies in danger.
Talking it out with the other families to split the assets Mizushima house has before they could attack.
Umu. Please do. As for Takahama products’ daughter, she’s just an idiot. Takahama already gave his apology and is going to pay enough compensation for those who came to the party. If only Mizushima was able to see around him, this wouldn’t have happened. Oh well, it can’t be helped As for Takahama-san, who defied Kouzuki house and collaborated with Tendou Otome.
Her family already surrendered to Jii-chan and other nobilities.
Therefore, they’re forgiven without any grave consequences.
On the other hand, Mizushima house did something underhanded, so.
It’s a full-scale breaking.
Thank you
Jii-chan ended the call with his, secretary or subordinate, I don’t know which.
Then.
That’s the situation. Mizushima Karen-kun
He shows an intense look as he speaks to Karen-san.
The fortunes of the Mizushima house from the ancestral times will be split and sold off. And also, we will be taking custody of you. Maybe it’s not just you personally, but also the long time property and foundation.
For now, the next generation is reserved.
Mizushima holdings group company is no more. You need to take that in yes
Karen-san looked down in bitter emotions.
And I cannot come back to Mizushima house anymore, can I? Indeed, I feel sorry to say, but I cannot send you home. You’re no hostage, but, I have to separate you from Mizushima and his son
Jii-chan said.
Earlier, you asked me to punish you if I punish your family, but that hasn’t changed, has it?
Karen-san.
Yes. As said earlier, I am ready
Karen-san stresses out that she’s not ordered by her father or grandfather.
Then, as for your punishment Please tell me anything
Karen-san bows elegantly
Umu. You will become a vassal of Kouzuki house
Jii-chan?
You are no longer a daughter of Mizushima house. You’re now a vassal of Kouzuki house
Karen-san looked at Jii-chan.
Let’s see. When you reach the age of 20, you will become the next head of the Mizushima house. But for the remaining 8 years, you will serve Misuzu as the servant of Kouzuki house Misuzu-sama? I have no jobs for 12-year-old girls
Jii-chan said sullenly.
I’m sorry
Karen-san apologized.
To tell you the truth, your father and grandfather don’t understand the weight of their actions. They’re both raised as the stereotypical innocent boys. They don’t know what they’re doing, and they are too optimistic about the results of their actions I have the same sentiment
The old man seem to think that all is forgiven once they step back from their chairs.
Far from that, they think that the Kouzuki group and other nobility would help rebuild Mizushima holdings.
nobility needs unity. We could have the same type of industry, but we try to share ownership between those with similarly long history families
Jii-chan said.
That is why what Mizushima house did is an act of treachery among the nobility. They’re destroying the mutual trust between houses
Sending in someone involved in crime to a party where the young ladies of nobility gather.
Furthermore, his attitude shows that he thinks that they will forgive him, no matter what happens.
It’s punishing a crime to make an example. In short, if Mizushima house isn’t punished heavily, then someone else will do the same
Jii-chan sighs.
It’s not just crime syndicates, but all the evil people want nobility all the time. Other families need to be cautious as well Therefore, I’m deprived of my status as nobility and demoted as Misuzu-sama’s vassal?
Karen-san replies.
Indeed. If I don’t go that far, other families will not see it as a lesson. Also, if in 8 years, once you’re an adult, I promise to restore Mizushima house, but, that depends on your actions If I cannot fulfill loyalty to Misuzu-sama, Mizushima house will no longer recover? Correct
Karen-san thinks for a moment.
Does the promise include the preservation of the ancestral assets handed to Mizushima house?
She gives up on the group company, but not in the old mansion and the work of art.
I guarantee you that. I’m an old man, but I’ll talk to Kaan’s son and all the other heads of nobility. Mizushima house’s assets will not liquidate. However, you will take it over. I will no longer make transactions with your father or grandfather Jii-chan is cornering the 12-year-old girl. You will use your own power and show the other nobility your loyalty to Misuzu. And if they accept your conduct, then, you will revive Mizushima house and become the head of it
Loyalty to Misuzu. That means;
Becoming Misuzu’s pet.
This 12-year-old girl probably couldn’t guess that.
I understand, then I serve Kouzuki house
Karen-san replied.
I think I have no other way of letting other nobility forgive Mizushima house but that
Nobility.
And above all, Kouzuki-sama’s going that far for Mizushima house and me.
The 12-year-old beautiful young lady said.
Then, I swear loyalty by serving Misuzu-sama!
Chapter 872. High Life Before the Fall
Then, you are to tell everyone in the courtyard the results later
Jii-chan told Mizushima Karen-san.
Karen-san will tell the young ladies in the party today that she has become Kouzuki houses’, or rather, Misuzu’s servant.
That means taking away her status as the young lady of nobility, of Mizushima house.
Certainly
Karen-san bows her head.
Umu, then, you can stay for the room you were in before
Everyone’s still enjoying the party.
It will be for the best if Mizushima Karen-san reports that at the end of the party.
She can do it together with Agnes’ debut.
Yes, excuse me I will send you off. It’s on Agnes-chan’s room, right?
Katsuko-nee said.
Yes, please do, Katsuko-kun Yes. Then, let’s go
Katsuko-nee smiles and leads Mizushima Karen-san out of the room.
The people remaining in the room are;
Jii-chan, and his two bodyguards.
Kurama sisters.
Minaho-neesan and me.
Leave the room, you two
Jii-chan told Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san.
Kyouko-kun already left. There’s no danger in this room Certainly, excuse us
Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san left the room.
As soon as the door closed.
So, what do you think?
Jii-chan asks me suddenly.
I might’ve done something futile
About what?
About nobility. I want to protect nobility, but I just decreased the number by one. Furthermore, most families are going the path of their own destruction
Jii-chan sighs.
You saw Mizushima’s naive attitude, didn’t you? Thinking that I will never crush down nobility, so he’s under the impression that no matter how much of a scandal he makes, I will come to rescue his house Yeah, he was underestimating Jii-chan.
He doesn’t understand how much of a trouble it caused when he sent over a spy from Kansai Yakuza to the main house of Kouzuki clan.
Also, he’s not even thinking of what the other families of the young ladies who came to this party would do.
Therefore, I had no choice but to demote her as a vassal instead of keeping her under Kouzuki house’s custody
Jii-chan speaks bitterly.
From the conversation earlier, Mizushima Karen is still decent. That kid can still fix herself. However, if she returns to her father and grandfather, then she will grow spoiled and become a troublesome adult No, that girl.
I think that Karen-san is a decent girl.
She’s courteous, has a strong sense of responsibility, and is smart.
Just because the parents were a disaster, the children don’t necessarily become the same.
She needs to separate from Mizushima house and serve Misuzu until she’s 20, trained with the education on nobility. Unless I do that, Mizushima house’s asset will remain, but they’ll no longer have the pride of nobility. That only means that their house perished Jii-chan.
Oh, I see.
Jii-chan’s pretending to talk to me, but he’s talking to the Kurama sisters.
Kurama house is the same. He ignored our advice and fell for the funding of the foreigners, demolishing the traditional Kurama Kaku, and tried to construct a high-rise hotel, and yet, asking for help because the foreigners deceived him? It’s ridiculous i’m very sorry!
Arisu-san, the younger of the sisters, bowed her head.
I’m not talking to you. I’m having a talk with him
Jii-chan scolds Arisu-san.
i’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!
Misato-san, the elder apologizes while crying.
Mizushima house sent in some lawless people into my house, and so they lost their business group. Their daughter, who will succeed in the house, is now a servant of Kouzuki house. Other families will not show consent unless I give that much punishment. Also, it’s natural to provide such a strict attitude, so this absurdity never happens again Jii-chan said. Then, how do we punish Kurama house? Kurama house manages the Kurama Kaku group because the only one with worth is Kurama Kaku. The building and garden has history and tradition has its worth, and that is why the group’s other hotel and traditional restaurants were able to hold their high dignity Worth and dignity. And now that precious Kurama Kaku is lost, what remains in the group are ordinary hotels and restaurants you can find anywhere. The high-rise hotel building can complete itself in the former site of Kurama Kaku, but still, it doesn’t have the quality that the old Kurama Kaku had They can construct a high-grade hotel, but the old one is something they can never take back. To be nobility means you are to inherit property from your ancestors and to protect it for the next generation. In Kurama house’s case, that Kurama Kaku is the one they inherit and must defend. Losing that means Kurama house no longer belongs to nobility. They are no longer a clan I must help Jii-chan said. The Kurama sisters trembled. Truly unfortunate, to think that one of the traditional nobility would die out like that
Jii-chan will revive Mizushima house in Karen-san’s generation, and.
The business group will be split and sold off, but, Karen-san is promised that she will inherit the mansion and properties of Mizushima house from the ancestral era.
However, for Kurama house’s case.
Without anything to inherit, they’re declared as dead.
kouzuki-sama! that’s too much! aah! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! aa!
The siblings lost control.
You’re too noisy, I’m not talking to you!
Jii-chan’s behavior is freezing.
uu
The little sister trembled in fear.
However, the elder speaks while crying.
i’m sorry. we do know that we can no longer save kurama house, but.
Kurama Misato speaks while shedding tears.
We may be paying for our mistakes, but, i cannot let the people working in Kurama Kaku group be left out in the cold Onee-sama? it may be rude to ask but, please, could you save the Kurama Kaku group? If things go on, then they will reach bankruptcy. If that happens, perhaps, the workers will not receive any retirement money Hearing Kurama Misato-san say that, Jii-chan. Shouldn’t it be your father who asks that?
That’s right.
It shouldn’t be the high-school student daughter but the head of Kurama house.
The man managing the Kurama Kaku group is the father.
however, uhm, Kouzuki-sama is no longer answering father’s calls Obviously. Why would I go out of my way to save a man who I know will only ask for a loan of money? therefore, Onee-sama and I are acting on behalf of father
Arisu-san desperately pleads.
You can’t fill in for your father, can you? Using his daughters for persuasion by tears
Yeah, I think that’s the case.
If you were Kurama, what would you do?
Jii-chan asks me.
Well, Jii-chan’s the only man who can lend me money, so I’d try all that I can to get a chance to meet you, but it’s meaningless if it’s not personal. I think that using his daughters in Misuzu’s party is just plain wrong. Also. What? Just say it
I.
Kurama house never talked about severing himself at all Severing himself?
Arisu-san asks.
That’s right. Don’t just say If this goes on, everyone will be in trouble, please help us, but instead, show that it was worth saving and make suggestions Worth? That’s right. Kurama-san, and also your father should know that Jii-chan has enough fortunes and he’s acquainted with various influential people, do you think that he would just save you for the sake of it?
That’s the reason why they only say, Please help us.
But you know, Jii-chan’s Kouzuki group is a money-making business, so why would they go out of their way to make such a deal? However, Kurama Kaku group is.
Arisu-san tries to argue, but.
The original Kurama Kaku is already broken, but you still manage other hotels and restaurants, don’t you? As mentioned earlier, Kurama Kaku is gone, and so the other facilities lost its worth
Arisu-san looks at me angrily.
So you say. Jii-chan sees it as an opportunity to strike a bargain.
I looked at her in the eye and said.
Bargain?
Misato-san and Arisu-san are surprised.
Geez, they’re really pampered.
They couldn’t even think of that.
Kurama house has no money, so they have no choice but to tell them. Jii-chan says that they’re worth nothing, but still, a few hotels and restaurants should have fair value. It’s never zero. Kouzuki group manages hotels and restaurants, don’t they?
I asked Jii-chan.
Naturally, it’s in our business Then, if they say please buy our hotel and restaurants, instead of please lend us money, would Jii-chan talk to Kurama-san? No. I’ll let someone else do the talk. But I will not ignore it. If it’s the best traditional hotel in the area, then it is tied to a get rich quick scheme
Jii-chan smiles.
but, if Kurama Kaku group loses the hotels and restaurants, their only revenue now. yes, Kurama Kaku group can no longer maintain itself
Misato-san and Arisu-san said.
No, look, that’s no longer the standard here
I said.
What do you mean?
Arisu-san speaks angrily. I.
I mean, it’s too late for Kurama Kaku group
In the end, these sisters could become the head of Kurama house, and they’ll still think that the Kurama Kaku group will remain if Jii-chan moved.
But.
Your father still has relations with the foreign investors while asking for my assistance
Jii-chan said.
If they were to borrow funds from me, then they will complete the construction of the hotel on where Kurama Kaku stood. And when the hotel is completed, the management group can recover. If that happens, another foreign investor will sponsor funds to expand the business. That means he only sees me as a makeshift. He has no intention of listening to my advice hereafter, and he intends to betray us that’s.father. Our father isn’t.
Kurama sisters hesitate.
It can’t be helped. Your father wants to escape from the nobility after all
Escape from nobility?
As long as he’s in nobility, he will receive instructions from Kaan, me, or the other old nobles. We only want to give advice, but to him, it’s nothing but grumblings from old men. He wants to leave nobility, and become an ordinary businessman, testing his strength to his heart’s content Jii-chan’s eyes turn gloomy. Most young men who become heads of the family think the same way as Kurama-kun. Unable to notice that they’re a frog in a well, raised in this relaxed life as nobility, ignoring the advice of us, the old people, and behave stupidly. However, in most cases, the servants can stop their head. Kurama-kun’s incident was unfortunate. To think that there were no loyal retainers to stop him from the inside Oh, I see. You mean, he doesn’t just want to make profits from building a new high-rise hotel but, he doesn’t want to continue protecting the Kurama Kaku, which he inherited from his ancestors?
I asked. Jii-chan;
Perhaps. He thought that he can break away from his fate if he completely destroys the building. What a foolish man. It’s inherited from the ancestors, and that is why he has a wealthy life as nobility, and yet.
Kurama-san’s father wanted to destroy the history of Kurama Kaku.
Wanting to escape his blood as nobility.
Despite all that, when he reached a problem with money, he relies on nobility, asking for Jii-chan’s help.
That’s the reason why I cannot forgive Kurama-kun. He didn’t listen to our advice, and now that his house is collapsing, his business is reaching bankruptcy, and so, he will never receive any help. This will happen again unless we do this Jii-chan and the nobilities inherit property from their ancestors.
And to not let the young heads throw it away without a care.
This is to send a message that if they have it their way, there will be no help.
I also loved that old Kurama Kaku. It had the memories our late Grandfather, but.
Kurama Arisu-san looks at Jii-chan.
Why does the old have to stay? We can understand how Father feels! We’re at the new age, shouldn’t we need to make everything new?
Jii-chan.
Someone as young as you may not understand. However, there’s one fact remains. You can rebuild an excellent hotel, but Kurama Kaku is still worth more. That will never be overruled Why? A new hotel is father’s hard work, it could surpass the worth of Kurama Kaku, couldn’t it?
Arisu-san said.
Impossible. The attribution of old is enough for it’s worth
Jii-chan answered flatly.
Anything is lost someday. People die. Objects break. There’s nothing in this universe that lasts forever. No, even the universe itself will end eventually
Jii-chan looks at me.
Do you know entropy? No
It’s my first time hearing that word.
Matter changes to energy. If it is transformed into heat, it is lost. You can eat kilograms of food every day, but your weight doesn’t change drastically. Then, where did the weight of the food go? The answer is that it is converted to energy Jii-chan said. Do you understand? Each time humans eat, the energy produced vanishes to the universe. Heat energy. Anything burned down vanishes. No, just sitting in this chair or the touch of the wind creates frictional energy. A heated matter diminishes. And all the matter in this world will become energy and disappear. Ever since the birth of the universe, matter keeps on vanishing, turning light. And someday, everything will gradually disappear Jii-chan said. That Kurama Kaku had a century of history with it. Arts and crafts from the time were gathered in that building and garden, and it lived for a century. Do you not understand the worth of that?
Kurama Arisu-san gulped.
Anything is lost someday. Transient. Therefore, shouldn’t we teach the young ones about the old ones? Especially those entrusted by their ancestors. Us, nobility.
Jii-chan sighed.
No, Kurama Kaku is lost. Kurama house which dropped the old that they should protect, is no longer nobility
then.
i’m very sorry!
Kurama Misato-san left her chair and prostrates herself before Jii-chan.
She’s crying intensely.
O-Onee-sama?
Arisu-san puts her knee on the floor as well.
Arisu, hurry and apologize to Kouzuki-sama but. No butts! But, we can apologize to Kouzuki-sama all we want, but Kurama house is no more.
Then.
Oh? That depends on you girls though
Minaho-neesan starts to move.
Have you not seen Mizushima-san’s case?
She smiles at the sisters.
They lost their management group and everything, but they were allowed to stay as nobility. However, it depends on how Mizushima Karen-san performs
Jii-chan promised Karen-san to become the head of Mizushima house when she reached 20, and her nobility status will recover.
However, it only happens when she works as Misuzu’s servant and is accepted.
If Karen-san isn’t a loyal servant, the agreement will not come true.
do you mean we should become Kouzuki house’s servants too?
Arisu-san, the strong-willed, asks Minaho-neesan.
You can’t become servants, can you?
Minaho-neesan laughs.
Kurama house’s actions were a grave sin compared to Mizushima house. Kurama Kaku is a place with precious memories from the nobility
And they broke that sacred ground without a care.
Ignoring Jii-chan’s warnings again and again.
Mizushima house lost its status as nobility for a fixed period. Karen-san’s demotion to servant will someday return to nobility status. But, Kurama house abandoned nobility themselves
Minaho-neesan said. Kurama sisters embraced each other’s trembling body.
Then, what do we do?
Arisu-san does her best to ask, but her voice is trembling.
You will accumulate secret charity
Jii-chan said.
Secret charity?
Buying Kurama Kaku Group’s fine establishments. It won’t be the Kouzuki group, but instead, other nobilities will be the first to speak. There will be no bargain. The purchase will be by its cost. If not, foreign investors will buy it. That must be avoided. I know some foreign investors trying to talk to your father at this moment that’s. I don’t mind. It’s an enterprise for profit, so, naturally, one would prefer to sell in superior terms. Ordinary businessmen think that way
Jii-chan no longer states the sister’s father as nobility but as an ordinary businessman.
Therefore, the price will be higher than the foreigners. The employees will remain employed. I guarantee that. However, it’s no longer a mutual aid from nobilities, but just business. Kouzuki group don’t intend to go further than that however that will mean that Kurama Kaku group will have nothing but the inferior establishments remaining, and the money earned from selling off cannot cross us over the crisis
Kurama Misato tells Jii-chan.
I don’t care. Kouzuki group will no longer involve themselves in anything other than business
He speaks adamantly.
however. It’s no use, Onee-sama
Arisu-san gave up.
Then.
Arisu-san, you’re still 13, so you might not know
Minaho-neesan said.
But, Misato-san is already 18, so I think she already understands What about?
Misato-san looks up at Minaho-neesan.
I am Kuromori Minaho
Minaho-neesan introduced herself.
Have you heard of the organization named Kuromori? i.
Kurama sisters are dumbfounded.
We’re the ones who offer young and clean ladies to the people in political and business circles
!
Misato-san’s surprised.
O-Onee-sama? What does she mean?
Oh, Arisu-san doesn’t know about prostitutes who offer sexual service.
No, maybe, she has no knowledge about sex itself.
Ruriko is a precedent in that.
And I’m the owner of such high-class brothel
Minaho-neesan smiles.
What do the people in that business need from us?
Misato-san asks with resolution.
No, if you have a problem with money, I think that you should sell yourself. All my clients are quite wealthy men after all You mean, I’m going to become a prostitute?
Misato-san is offended.
I’m only talking about your choices. I’m not here to force you. I will not make any other move unless you come for me and ask me to hire you
Minaho-neesan speaks with composure.
Chapter 873. High Life Demon’s remodeling
Onee-sama, it’s my first time hearing about brothel, and prostitute What is that?
As expected, the 13-year-old young lady, Kurama Arisu, doesn’t have any knowledge about sex yet.
Prostitution is a job where one does indecent acts with men in exchange for money
Kurama Misato-san replied.
Indecent? What specifically? That’s something I don’t know
Misato-san looks like she knows what sex means.
Although she doesn’t know the specifics.
Mizushima Karen-san is also the same.
They’re all sheltered young ladies.
No, I’m sure.
Kaan-san, I mean, Momoko-neechan, who shows so much composure and presence are also lacking in knowledge about sex.
Just as Kyouko-san protested to Jii-chan, these young ladies may have their lust sealed.
But, it’s money. My clients are all wealthy men
Minaho-neesan said with a smile.
Kurama Misato-san looks at Jii-chan.
Is this Kouzuki-sama’s order?
She asks.
Kouzuki-sama, do you want us, the descendants of Kurama house, to become prostitutes?
Jii-chan.
I don’t care. It just happened that Minaho-kun, someone in that business, is offering you an opportunity
He declares that it has nothing to do with him.
It’s your choice whether to accept or reject that offer. It’s nothing of my concern. Although I advise you to listen to Minaho-kun. With your current situation, Kurama house will collapse. The hotels and restaurants we didn’t buy from the Kurama Kaku group will reach bankruptcy. If I recall, you mentioned that you lack funds for retirement fee for those discharged from their jobs, didn’t you?
The lines Kurama Misato-san used to ask for Jii-chan’s assistance comes back to her like a boomerang.
You intend to cause problems for those employers who worked for Kurama house for years. Would you end it without paying the clients? Once Kurama Kaku group collapses, it will also cause a chain bankruptcy to those businesses outside that’s.
Misato-san falters.
If you see it that way, then please help us, Kouzuki-sama!
Kurama Arisu-san yells at Jii-chan in desperation.
You need to be responsible
Jii-chan.
I wished for the nobility to remain, if possible. But, that doesn’t mean that I should spend all my power to aid all the families But, Kouzuki-sama is much, much bigger than Kurama house!
Arisu-san is about to cry.
Correct. To tell you the truth, with Kouzuki group’s assets, we can absorb Kurama Kaku group and write off all your debt Then. However, it’s something we’ll never do
Jii-chan said.
why?
The 13-year-old beauty glares at Jii-chan.
It’s a problem if a rumor that the Kouzuki house will always come to rescue the head of nobilities who fail in leadership, and lead their business to collapse, spreads around. It’s irresponsible. The nobility who does manage loosely will think, I can just swing my ass to Kouzuki in the end. Purposely worsening their management and ask me to take out money to fund them. Have you heard my conversation with Mizushima-kun?
Right, Mizushima Karen-san’s grandfather.
He thought of rebuilding his company with Kouzuki house’s power by sending in a spy to create a scandal.
If all the heads of nobility become naive like him, then all of Kouzuki house’s assets will distribute to all the other families. I have to avoid that.
Besides, the head of Kurama house ignored Jii-chan’s advice and failed miserably, and yet.
He’s asking for Jii-chan’s help without remorse, he’s hopeless.
Therefore, I’m only talking to you from a business standpoint. Kouzuki group will purchase those with worth. I don’t care about others. Would you provide for the shortage of funds, or would you throw it all and escape?
Arisu-san shows an expression that she doesn’t understand.
I’ll explain it once again to make it easy to understand for the younglings like you
Jii-chan speaks.
Let’s make the calculations to find out how much money is needed for Kurama house to clear their debt. We’ll also include the funds necessary for the remaining inferior hotel and restaurants and other companies involved. Also, assistance for the employees reemployed and those that aren’t. And it’s not just what you need at this moment, you will need money going forward Minaho-neesan said. Indeed. If I become a prostitute, then I can shoulder it all. I can take responsibility and deal with it I guarantee Minaho-kun’s skill. Her work is trustworthy
Jii-chan said.
Perhaps, you cannot deal with the problems of Kurama house unless you become prostitutes
That’s.
Kouzuki house will not send their aid means that all the financial institutions in this country will not support the Kurama Kaku Group. Worse, this case all started because your father was smooth-talked by the foreign investors, wasn’t he? Then Kurama house’s reputation for the money-related business in this country is at its lowest. But, that doesn’t mean that you can rely on the financial institutions outside the country, those that will come close are vultures. People who don’t care about anything but taking away the fortunes of Kurama house. That means, your house is already in checkmate Nobody in the country will save Kurama house.
If they seek help outside the country, only demons will come.
we. O-Onee-sama
The sisters feel hopeless.
Therefore, I suggest you become a prostitute. It has two advantages. The first is that you can earn money. For young and powerless young girl and raised with love, I’m sure that they will pay for a lot She’s not talking about specific numbers.
That’s because these two are genuine young ladies.
They never experienced money problems before.
They only know hundred of millions and such.
It leads them to believe that if they do an indecent act with the client, they can earn income to cover the loss of their business group.
The other advantage is that if the daughters of Kurama house shows that they were able to repay their debts from working as a prostitute, the nobility who look at you coldly might change their attitude Minaho-neesan said. Arisu-san looked up. In the end, it’s a problem of whether Kurama house can take responsibility for themselves or not. Whether you stop crying to Kouzuki-sama and other nobility and start doing something yourself. I think your best appeal is to show that you will go so far as turning into prostitutes just to pay your debts and compensate your employees that’s.
Misato-san looks up at Minaho-neesan.
Oh well. I will stay in this mansion for a little longer, you can think all you want until you return home
Minaho-neesan ends the conversation.
Yeah, do as you please. Either way, I don’t want to get involved with Kurama house anymore
Jii-chan said.
Whatever you do, you have to stay in this mansion until the girls in the courtyard return home. It’ll only give you trouble if they discover that the daughters of Kurama already went home. You can stay in this room and think of your future Can we contact father?
Kurama Arisu-san asks Jii-chan.
We left our phones in the car
Yeah, it would be inelegant of them to bring their phones to a party.
You can’t use phones in this mansion. That’s how this place is made
Jii-chan said.
This is to not let spies contact outside.
We have telephones, however. Use that. The phone is connected to my secretary, you can ask her to connect it to Kurama house, or Kurama-kun himself
If it’s police, lawyer, or media.
The call won’t go through to the people Jii-chan doesn’t want to contact.
Now then, it’s about time I return to work. Come with me. Minaho-kun as well. Leave the two in this room
Jii-chan told me.
If you want tea, then just tell the secretary on the other side of the line. Don’t hold back. I won’t give funds on business, but you can have as much tea as you want
Jii-chan said.
It’s still an hour before Misuzu’s party ends. You two can talk until then
Kurama sisters didn’t respond.
I left the room with Jii-chan.
Minaho-neesan’s with us.
Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san are waiting for Jii-chan outside.
It’s okay. That room is monitored. They probably won’t think about suicide. Or should I say that if those girls weren’t cornered like that, they’d never see the reality
Jii-chan says while walking down the corridor.
The two, wait, it’s only Misato-san. She’s becoming a prostitute, right? Yes
Minaho-neesan replied.
But, it would be impossible for Misato-san to pay off the debts of the Kurama Kaku group by herself even if she becomes a prostitute, right?
High-class prostitutes are paid in millions or tens of millions, but.
Naturally. Kurama Kaku group’s debt is in hundred million
Jii-chan sighed.
Minaho-kun is correct, they can clear the debts, but they have nothing but hardship in the future. However, that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t do anything Huh? Those girls ask not Kouzuki-sama but me to settle their debts but, only Kouzuki group can pay the debts of such a big enterprise
Minaho-neesan said.
That’s right. In the end, they have to wipe my butt. However, as mentioned earlier, this is an example to the other nobility. Therefore, we’re depriving Kurama house of their status as nobility, and turn the daughters to prostitutes. It needs to go that far Yeah, he told Kurama sisters that, but.
In reality, Jii-chan has to make a move.
Kurama house, Mizushima house, they willingly took the fall. I want to have most nobility to stay, but I’m the one who declares the fall of a noble house Kouzuki-sama, Mizushima-sama will return her status into nobility someday
Minaho-neesan comforts Jii-chan.
Mizushima Karen-san will serve as Misuzu’s vassal, and when she reached 20, she will become the head of Mizushima house and recover her status as nobility.
That means the Mizushima house’s ancestral property is preserved.
Mizushima house will remain, however, Kurama house.
Jii-chan’s voice is gloomy.
They have no property to leave to their descendants
Kurama Kaku, the building and garden filled with history, is now gone.
It’s pathetic, truly
I don’t understand how Jii-chan feels about nobility.
Anyway, I’m asking you to look after Kurama’s daughters
Jii-chan told Minaho-neesan.
Certainly I will take care of their parents
Kurama house is in ruins.
Yoshinobu, do you have time?
Minaho-neesan looked at me.
She called me Yoshinobu, not Kuromori Kou.
Kuromori brothel will no longer forcibly rape women and turn them to prostitutes
Minaho-neesan said.
Therefore, Kurama Misato-san needs to rub her forehead on the floor and beg to turn her to a prostitute. She needs to give consent to work
That is Minaho-neesan’s resolve to reopen the brothel.
For that to happen, we must lie. We have to deceive them horribly. Even so, as long as they think that it’s their decision, prostitution work will not be as painful for them
I.
I know. I’ll do anything, no matter how cruel it is. It’s all for her to find a clear answer
This case isn’t just an economic problem of Kurama house’s business,
It also involves other nobility.
Kurama Misato-san has to become a prostitute, or various people won’t settle down.
Therefore, this fate can’t change.
Arisu-san too Indeed. I think you already know but, Misato-san is mentally frail
She’ll break unless her sister is with her.
No, Arisu-san won’t let it be just her sister who experiences pain.
But, it’s easy to fool Arisu-san, don’t you think?
Minaho-neesan said with a straight look.
I thought so too, but.
She lacks knowledge about sex, always trying to cover up for her sister, and she speaks a lot.
She’s much easier to turn to a prostitute than her sister.
The means depend on you. Kuromori will not use 13-year-old girls as a prostitute, but You can use Arisu-san as your personal sex toy instead
Minaho-neesan tells me that in front of Jii-chan.
Yeah, you can do what you want. However
Jii-chan looked at me.
Don’t make the sisters think that sex is about love and happiness. Make them believe that it’s their penance that they have to endure for the sins of their family
That’s.
The elder sister has to earn money that way. They are sacrificing their body and pride in this harsh labor, that’s why they receive high amounts of money. The little sister also needs to think that sex is a painful act if she will live together with her sister or it’s a problem When training the Kurama sisters, Agnes and the other girls can’t join in
Minaho-neesan said.
I will end my brothel for good in five years. At that time, we have to let go of the Kurama sisters and let them live their ordinary life. That means, they can never join our family Naturally. We’re going to show hell to those girls. They need to loathe us until the end
Loathe?
Those who hated me managing the brothel all returned to their ordinary lives after it closed
The prostitutes of the mansion.
However, those who didn’t come to hate me all come back
They were handed money to start up a new life, and yet.
I’m sure several of them went to Minaho-neesan and asked to become prostitutes again.
Therefore, Minaho-neesan limits the reopening of the brothel to five years.
Katsuko and Nagisa does the same, don’t they? They like me, so they stay by my side
Well.
They should’ve forgotten about the brothel. That is the reason why I need the prostitutes to hate me. I reflect now. To make them want to leave the brothel soon. To never want to recall my face again, or else, some of them will come back Minaho-neesan has some bitter experiences in that. Therefore, we must draw the line from the start. We will be cruel to Kurama-san. Turning the elder sister to a prostitute and the younger to a sex toy. All for five years. It’s an unforgivable criminal act, and so we can’t save those girls It’s to cut our connections with them after five years. Okay, I’ll get ready
I replied to Minaho-neesan.
I like how you’re always so earnest
Jii-chan laughed.
However, knowing that you can’t forcibly have sex with Kurama’s daughter, but.
Huh?
The other girl has no choice but rape, don’t you think?
Jii-chan speaks with a straight face.
The other girl? Which? The spy, obviously
Tendou Otome?
Kyouko-kun said she doesn’t want her, so she’s in your care
No, well.
That girl can’t come back home either
Minaho-neesan?
She’s a messenger sent to harass us. She can’t return back to her home in Kansai why?
Her father is a well-known Yakuza member.
The enemy knows about the Miko power
Minaho-neesan said.
And do you think that the Kansai Yakuza would still accept someone who might be under Miko power’s control?
Jii-chan said.
I see.
The possibility of her doing what we tell her is high.
If she returns to Kansai, assassination will come to her in an instant
Yakuza knows how fearsome Miko power is.
One can follow the instructions of the shrine maiden, no matter how horrible it is, and without a care for their lives.
They can’t allow suicide bombing in their office.
And at the same time, the Yakuza’s harassment isn’t over yet
Minaho-neesan?
If you were Yakuza, what would you do next?
Huh?
Tendou Otome-san, the spy, is an ordinary high school student in paper
That’s.
And if they can’t contact her anymore, they’ll contact the police and say our girl still hasn’t come back from the party in the Kouzuki house
Yakuza will contact the police.
And then, they’ll go to media. People who create stories for money exist What straightforward harassment all to lower the fame of Kouzuki house
Jii-chan said.
If we bind that spy, the police will try to get them back. Once that happens, and some traces of combat from our bodyguard remains, then they’ll sue Kouzuki SS for violence. And if it doesn’t turn to a fuss and she returns from the party safely, we can have her tied up, but as soon as she’s let go, the Yakuza will come and kill her Huh? Why?
Why would they kill Tendou Otome after returning safely?
It’s to cause an alarm to the media that she’s dead after going to the party. If a high school girl dies unnaturally, it’s big news. If that happens, it’ll cause trouble for those who came to the party. And that will have the nobility hate Kouzuki house What a self-centered plan. Therefore, the first part of the plan is to hush Mizushima Karen-san. Tendou Otome-san came here as Mizushima-san’s bodyguard
If Karen-san isn’t coming home, it won’t look suspicious if Tendou Otome stays.
Furthermore, we need to show Tendou Otome-san in good health to the public
Yeah, it’s to deal with the claims that she hasn’t come home yet, that she’s assaulted inside Kouzuki house.
And once the party ends, Tendou Otome-san will come and eat a hamburger or something
Minaho-neesan said.
While at it, we will strike back against Yakuza
It’s decided to hunt them down.
No, but, would Tendou Otome eat a hamburger without resistance?
She’s a beauty, but she’s strong-willed, and a frightening person.
Why do we have Miko power then?
Minaho-neesan said.
You can remold Tendou Otome-san from her personality to her everything
eeh?
You can violate her not just physically but also mentally. There’s no other way
That’s.
If left alone, she’s going to die. If you don’t want her to die, then don’t hesitate
Jii-chan told me.
Chapter 874. High Life Ghost sister
We’re to remodel Tendou Otome’s personality to what’s convenient to us.
Usually, that’s not allowed.
However.
Tendou Otome is a daughter from Kansai Yakuza, she can’t become our ally.
She sneaked in, knowing that she’s expendable.
If she dies, it will damage Kouzuki house’s fame, and if she’s successful, then she doesn’t mind dying.
Where is she now? Isolated in that room
Minaho-neesan replied.
You can ascertain with your eyes, she’s entrusted to you now
Jii-chan said, then he went to another room together with Ootoku-san.
If you’re going to meet up with Tendou-san, you should call over Tsukiko-san with you
Minaho-neesan said.
Tendou Otome is under Tsukiko’s mental control.
I’m just going to take a look, but still, I should bring Tsukiko with me.
I can’t bring Yomi and Luna, right? Yes, if there are multiple shrine maidens and she received inconsistent commands, Tendou-san’s spirit might turn strange
For example, Tsukiko says, Stay over there. Don’t move, and yet, Yomi and Luna give a new order saying, stand up, walk. Then.
Tendou Otome will be confused.
Tsukiko’s power is stronger, so she won’t stand up, but.
Having different orders will bring her mind to a conflicted state.
It’s basically when you put on the brakes but still continue to pedal the bicycle. It will cause severe damage soon enough.
But, it’s good to have Tsukiko as the shrine maiden in control of Tendou Otome
I told Minaho-neesan while we head to the room where Tsukiko and the girls are.
Oh? Why? I mean, if it’s Yomi, she’ll mix in some jokes, and she might change Tendou Otome to a girl who is addicted to sex or something
Yomi’s the type who gets cocky.
In that regard, Tsukiko’s personality is serious
She won’t do anything unreasonable.
I wonder? I think that Tsukiko-san’s obedient and serious personality is erratic
Minaho-neesan laughs.
Usually, when someone’s bound, they jump around when freed
That’s.
Well, that’s true.
Well, why not? You can mess her up all you want. We don’t care whatever happens to her anyway
Minaho-neesan thinks of Tendou Otome that way?
Besides, be it Tsukiko-san, or Yomi-san; although I’m not sure with Luna-chan, they should want to try it out
What?
To release all of their Miko power and change someone’s heart to their heart’s content. They can do that, and yet, they aren’t doing it I mean, we all know how fearsome it is
Miko power running wildly.
Tsukiko’s mother, who felt despair in her life, spread fire to Kiyomi-san, who holds the same power.
Kiyomi-san was swallowed in, and caused deaths of so many people, ultimately ending with suicide.
Miko power is powerful and fearsome.
A mind twisted with their power will never return to their old self.
We already used that power on Tendou Otome
Tsukiko ordered Tendou Otome to obey her.
Therefore, Tendou Otome will no longer defy Tsukiko.
Tendou Otome’s personality isn’t changed yet, so she will follow unwillingly, but.
For example, you can buy a 300 kph sports car, can’t you?
Minaho-neesan?
But, ordinary roads don’t allow 300 kph. It’s dangerous, one can run over pedestrians, and besides, it violates the speed laws
Well yeah?
But, if you buy a 300kph car, you would want to go all out. You know that the handling power is stronger. You want to step on the accelerator all the way. You want to see how fast can it go
Minaho-neesan said.
If you’re using a sports car, then you can go all out in a circuit. If you pile up your money, you can get that opportunity. But, with Miko power
Oh. I see.
Takakura sisters also know how great their powers are.
They also want to set it free to their heart’s content.
Those girls are stable, thanks to you. And so, if you allow them to go all out with their power, I think it’ll calm them down. Oh, so that’s how it is, is what they’d think
Minaho-neesan said.
If they’re mentally unstable, Miko power will swallow them, and they can no longer live without relying on their power, but they’re not like that
They won’t get addicted to using Miko power all out.
Instead, they’re girls who can become cautious after experiencing it once
So it’s better to let them experience using their all-out power and remodel someone’s mind?
If it was me, I would go that route and let Tendou Otome become the ugly result
Takakura sisters remodel Tendou Otome’s mind, and it results in a bad one.
That will stop the girls from using Miko power too much.
Currently, they won’t use their powers without your permission, but, they will think that they can use just a bit of it as long as it’s for your sake
Huh?
You know, Misuzu-san is now offering cute girls to you. Those girls can read those thoughts. Therefore, they will do the same No, wait.
For example, Misuzu wants to keep Mizushima Karen-san as her pet.
If that’s the case, I will have to violate Karen-san in front of her.
Ruriko also talked about someone she wants to keep.
But.
Misuzu and the girls are, well, they might lead someone to that thoughts, but.
Mizushima Karen-san already agreed with Jii-chan to serve Misuzu.
She probably doesn’t know what’s the specifics are.
But, I’m sure that Misuzu can lead Karen-san to offer her virginity to me.
But, Miko power is different. Completely different
She’s guided, but still, Karen-san has her free will.
But, if they use Miko power.
The person will lose their will and do what the shrine maidens tell them.
It’s nothing different to the girls who hold that power
Minaho-neesan?
For them, it’s natural that they have it. When told to race until the station, an ordinary student will run or use a bicycle, but those girls will use a taxi. The ordinary student will say Using money to ride a taxi is unfair, but to them, they always use taxi and so it’s not a violation of rules Well, yeah.
Those girls had their Miko power since they were young.
And those girls hardly went out of the mansion, had they? Therefore, there shouldn’t be a problem, but it will be
They’ll all attend school soon.
Furthermore, those girls can read your thoughts. For example, did you find a girl you liked in the party? No, not really
It’s a party Misuzu hosted today, and they’re all young ladies.
Events come in one after another.
I had no time to think.
Really? But when Anjou Kinuka-san and Adelheid Katori-san were showing off their panties, you were staring at them hard
Minaho-neesan smiled.
Well, I’m a guy so I would stare at bare legs and panties
I said.
You were also looking at Kaan Momoko-sama’s cleavage. Kanou Sakurako-sama, you want to have sex with a girl that pure and strong-willed, right?
Err.
Don’t answer. It’s normal. They’re all beautiful young ladies, and you’re a healthy young man. However
Minaho-neesan said.
If the Takakura sisters were to see those thoughts of yours, they might secretly use their power to have Kaan-sama and Kanou-sama to like you, no, to want to have sex with you
Huh?
They’re still calm for now. They didn’t have the time to do that after all
Kyouko-san invaded, Tendou Otome tied up.
It’s always been noisy.
Then, the Takakura sisters left the grounds before Kaan-san could enter.
But, if those girls were to read your desires boiling down from deep inside, they will use their power on various girls
that’s.
I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen Well, you will know right away if it’s an apparent change of personality, but what about girls who you only met once and don’t know their whole nature?
Huh?
They can use their Miko power to read the thoughts of people they meet for the first time
that’s true, but.
For example, you have thoughts of I like her face, I want to see her naked, or I want to have sex with her, with girls you meet for the first time, don’t you?
Well, I won’t deny it. I mean, it happens a lot.
But, maybe your first impression with that girl wasn’t that great. You just met, and she’s already feeling displeased only from seeing you
Yup that happens a lot.
I’m no handsome man.
At times like that, they can use their Miko power to change the impression to a good one. They can do that
Where they can have the girls, I’m curious about being conscious of me as well.
They changed the girl’s thoughts, but you won’t notice. You will only think that the first impression was the surface
And without noticing that they used their Miko power.
I will misunderstand that the girl liked me from the start.
I don’t want that
Tsukiko and the girls might do it out of good intentions, but.
It’s not an honest assessment.
Therefore, you can use Tendou-san to let the girls learn that they shouldn’t do that
In short, Tsukiko and the girls remodel Tendou Otome’s personality.
And have them experience failure?
They need to learn from example to not freely revise someone’s mind
Minaho-neesan said.
However.
But, if that’s the case, Tendou Otome is.
Is it okay to mess up her mind like that?
It’s okay. She’s an enemy after all
Minaho-neesan said.
She’s an enemy, and so you don’t have to mind using and crushing her, and you mustn’t give mercy
That’s.
I mean, we have no other disposable person right now, do we?
Tendou Otome’s abandoned by her group, the Kansai Yakuza.
But.
I.
Ah, Nii-san!
Before I noticed, we arrived in the room where everyone’s staying.
Luna opened the door and looked at me.
Shou-oneesama contacted and said, bring Agnes-chan
Agnes’ debut is rushed.
Somehow, the party seems to be looking good, so while we have time. Yeah got it
Yeah, I should have time to think,
To organize my thoughts before meeting Tendou Otome.
The first plan is to have Yomi-oneesama and me as Agnes-chan’s bodyguard, but. Ah, Momoko-neechan Yes. Kaan-sama probably don’t want to see us
Kaan Momoko knows about the Takakura shrine maidens.
Then, I will bring Agnes alone No, I will come
Koyomi-chan shows up from the room.
She shouldn’t know about me
Putting the Takakura sisters aside.
She probably doesn’t know about Koyomi-chan, their cousin.
Furthermore, even if they investigate her, they’ll only see that Koyomi-chan stopped her shrine maiden training.
Yes, bring Koyomi-chan with you, it’ll become a bad image if Agnes doesn’t have at least one servant with her
Katsuko-nee came over and said.
Right, Agnes.
We’re going to introduce her as a young lady tied to Kouzuki house.
This blonde haired free-spirited beauty should have at least a bodyguard or attendant.
Also, bring this one with you as well
Katsuko-nee brings Mizushima Karen-san.
I have to announce that I have become Misuzu-sama’s servant
Karen-san said with a nervous look.
Papa! Papa! Papa!
Agnes wearing her dress comes and clings to me.
You see, her name’s Karen-chan! Well, I know that already
I brought her with me, Agnes.
She’s cute. Agnes likes her
Agnes smiles.
I see. She will serve Misuzu, so she’s going to live together in the same roof Yes! Desuno!
Misuzu lives together with us, and so, Karen-san, the servant, will also live in the mansion.
Err, Karen-san, please get along with me. Agnes is at the same age as Karen-san
Agnes is going to attend school, so she will be together with Karen-san.
Uhm, what is your relationship?
Karen-san looks at Agnes in me in curiosity.
Well, yeah.
Agnes has blonde hair and blue eyes, and she’s quite the beauty.
Agnes is Papa’s daughter.
She clung to me and smiled.
Well, we’re distant relatives
I said to gloss it over.
Papa, what’s distant relative? That means I love Agnes a lot Agnes loves Papa a lot too!
Hey now, don’t rub your cute breasts on me too much.
Agnes, we are going to see everyone outside and greet them, be sure to not say anything unnecessary, okay?
If she calls me Papa in front of all the young ladies.
I wonder how do I explain it?
Unnecessary?
Agnes looks dumbfounded.
Oh, it’s okay. Kuromori-san. Nei-san already gave her instructions in that regard
Koyomi-chan told me.
Huh, Ya-chan? Yes Usually, it should be Luna and me who are in charge of her, and yet.
Yomi speaks in regret.
Don’t say that. Yomi-oneesama, let’s leave this to Koyomi-chan.
Luna told her two-year-older sister.
Agnes-chan should be okay now too. If she does things well, Nei-oneesama will buy her a delicious cake as a reward! I get it! Agnes will do it!
Nei’s instructions? I’m scared, to be honest.
Well, I’m sure that it’s not that messed up.
Nei likes pranks, but she will never bring our family to trouble.
Okay, let’s go. Karen-san, come with us Yes
Karen-san replies.
Returning to the party are Agnes, Koyomi-chan, Agnes, and Me.
Agnes-chan, good luck! Yes! Desuno!
Luna cheers her, Agnes replies with a smile.
Koyomi-chan, look after her Leave it to me
Yomi said. Koyomi-chan replied.
Oh right.
Tsukiko
I called Tsukiko from the room.
Yes, Kou-sama? Yeah, don’t do anything unnecessary until I come back
It’s a problem if she remodels Tendou Otome’s personality while I don’t know.
We’re going to do that together once I come back
If we’re going to use Tendou Otome as our lab rat.
It shouldn’t be just Tsukiko, but Yomi, Luna, and Koyomi-chan present together.
If not, they can’t experience using Tendou Otome as a guinea pig together.
They need to understand what it means to tamper with people’s minds themselves.
Therefore, I need Tsukiko to calm down and not sneak to change Tendou Otome while I’m away.
Tsukiko surely read that.
Certainly
Tsukiko bows her head.
I will not behave selfishly
If that’s the case, then sure.
Tsukiko’s joy is to do what Kou-sama desires Yes. You can see his thoughts and understand his desires, but. It’s disgusting to see if you carry out his desire without him knowing
Minaho-neesan added.
Yeah, Tsukiko’s not the type who’ll change Tendou Otome to the kind of girl I prefer without permission.
Yeah. If you have no other options, then I order you Tsukiko to carry out my will
We have no choice but to remodel Tendou Otome, but it’s a responsibility I will shoulder.
Yes. I will never do things for my convenience Look after Yomi and Luna as well Yes, Kou-sama
Okay, that’s okay for now.
I still don’t understand.
Karen-san asks me while we are on the way back to the courtyard.
What is the standpoint of the people in the room from earlier compared to Misuzu-sama?
Oh.
Mizushima Karen-san only knows about the official family lineage of Kouzuki house.
Everyone is family!
Agnes replies with a smile while hugging me.
And I’m sure Karen-chan will join the family soon! Right, Papa?
To Agnes, family means people chosen to have sex with me.
I’m sure that Karen-chan will join the family sooner than Koyomi-chan. Therefore, Koyomi-chan, you need to eat more, exercise, sleep a lot, and get an adult body as quickly as possible
Agnes knows why I’m not having sex with Koyomi-chan.
It’s because her body hasn’t grown yet.
Once her body develops to tolerate sex, she’ll immediately have it with me.
Agnes seems to see her as a semi-family in that regard.
It helps that she’s no longer rejecting her like before.
Uhm, I do not understand what that means however
Karen-san looks dumbfounded.
Well, it’s a lot of stuff to explain. You’ll understand someday Yes, please take care of me
I am Misuzu’s partner, so she shows respect for no.
Seriously, Karen-san is a courteous girl.
I wonder why is her grandfather so irresponsible when she’s like this?
Her Father and grandfather were selfish men, so the child looks around a lot
Koyomi-chan read my thoughts and said.
If not, she won’t understand why they suddenly got in a bad mood and start to nag around
Oh, a parent with a selfish personality hits their children without care.
Shouting their emotions of anger.
Not wanting to experience that, the child senses their parent’s mood and runs away when it seems cloudy.
Koyomi-chan was like that too? Yes, well.
Koyomi-chan’s mother, Kiyomi-san, is a highly-strung type of person.
She was a hard mother to deal with
Koyomi-chan said mournfully.
uu, Papa
Agnes suddenly stopped walking.
She can see the girls in the courtyard on the other side of the window.
What’s wrong? Scared? A bit
Agnes clings to me harder.
It’s her first time showing up in front of girls she doesn’t know.
It’s okay, I’m here Yes, desuno Me too
Koyomi-chan smiled at Agnes.
Also, you’re playing a game with Nei-oneesama now. If you do well, then you’ll get a cake. Kuromori-san, Agnes-chan, and I are a team Team?
Agnes repeats.
Yes. We’re a team. Oh right
Koyomi-chan looked at Karen-san.
Mizushima-san, please join in our team Me?
Karen-san looks at me.
Ah, please do. Misuzu is aware of Agnes. If that’s the case, allow me to obey
Err, how do I explain this?
While I was worrying, Koyomi-chan starts speaking.
Agnes-chan just came home from a foreign country, so she doesn’t know Japanese. And so, please think of her as such, Mizushima-san O-Okay Agnes-chan, you’re now banned from speaking Japanese now Okay! Desuno! That’s also banned uu
Agnes clings to me.
I pat Agnes’ head and back to ease up her tension.
Yeah. Anyway, do your best Yes, auu There, there, calm down. Take a deep breath Haa, suu
Agnes is training in Kudou arts so she can calm down with breathing right away.
Okay, let’s go. Karen-san, please O-Okay
Agnes continues to cling to me.
Koyomi-chan follows behind.
Behind Koyomi-chan is Karen-san.
I bring in 12 and 13-year-old girls to the courtyard.
Oh? Who’s that cute girl? A foreigner? My, she’s clinging so hard on Kuromori-sama, so cute!
Agnes is too much of beauty, so she gathers attention immediately.
She has halforeign blood, and she’s also taking the same program Mana’s using.
Furthermore, she’s having sex with me nearly every day.
She’s filled with charm that you can’t imagine she’s 12-years-old.
She’s afraid, and so her cuteness stands out though.
Oh, everyone, I would like to introduce her
Misuzu noticed us and stood up from her seat right away.
This young girl next to Danna-sama and me is a distant relative of Kouzuki house, princess Agnes
Huh?
Princess? That’s a huge statement.
She lived in the royal court of a Middle East Kingdom, and she has come to Japan for education. And so, she will live in Kouzuki house as she’s our relative. She will also join our school by next month was that the plan?
Why was I not told about it?
My, what a cute girl? How old are you?
Kaan Momoko-san asks Agnes as the representative of the girls.
Agnes can’t speak Japanese, or so her setting says.
How do I answer this?
Err.
She’s 12-years-old. What?
Ah, shit.
Why did I use English to answer?
this doesn’t look good.
Then, Agnes.
wait, don’t speak now.
Barekata
Huh?
Princess Agnesama says that she’s currently 12-years-old
Koyomi-chan replies calmly.
You? I am Princess Agnesama’s servant and translator
She bows her head.
Then, she whispers to Agnes’ ears.
Then, Agnes;
Bakerata, bakerata, bakebake. Princess Agnesama says that she’s glad to see everyone. Bakebakerata, bakerata, bakerata She asks everyone to get along with her.
Err.
Yup, this is Nei’s plan, but.
Huh? What language is that? I wonder? The Middle East has a lot of countries Oh, she must be a child from a harem of the King I’m sure she is. She’s called Princess after all It must be Kouzuki house marrying the bride to them Oh, that’s why she came back to Japan to study
no way?
That went through?
Oh, Agnes’ overflowing cuteness and the idea that Kouzuki house will never do such absurdity to fool them.
That made it pass.
She just arrived in Japan today to greet everyone.
Misuzu said with a smile.
Chapter 875. High Life Party End
Auu
This doesn’t look good.
Agnes’ tension is at max now that a lot of girls are looking at her.
Agnes uu, Bakerata
Agnes clings to me.
My, that’s cute!
The young ladies see Agnes’ troubled face as cute.
Okay. She will come to our school soon. Please be kind to Princess Agnes
Misuzu said with a smile.
She’s a princess related to Kouzuki house
Misuzu goes that far, it makes all the other daughters of nobility look after Agnes.
Right. Well, she’s cute. I’ll give her plenty of love. You too, Sakurako?
Momoko-oneechan from Kaan house, a rival of Kouzuki house in social standing, has said.
yes, you’re right
Kanou Sakurako-san accepts Agnes.
bakerata.
Agnes speaks awkwardly to Koyomi-chan with a blushing face.
Yes, Princess Agnes asks for water
She can read Agnes’ thoughts, so Bakerata goes through Koyomi-chan.
Haiji, bring her water Yes, Mariko-ojousama
Torii Mariko-san said, Adelheid-san brings water for Agnes.
No, a maid from Kouzuki SS prepares a pet bottle and cup, and Adelheid-san accepted it from her.
Here, Water Thank you
Koyomi-chan takes the bottle and cup handed to her.
Agnes isn’t taking it personally. It’s the job of the attendant to do so.
bakerata
Agnes still gives her thanks.
Princess Agnes says Thank you I can understand that much
Adelheid-san replied standoffishly.
Haiji, don’t say that. You’re scaring the princess
Torii-san scolds her bodyguard.
Here, Agnes
I took the bottle from Koyomi-chan.
Wow, this is cold. The bottle is filled with droplets.
I took off the cap from the bottle and poured water on the cup.
Here, drink
Agnes smiles, looking at me.
Bakerata
She grabs the cup with both hands and drinks cold water.
What a cute girl
The sight of Agnes drinking water happily.
It lets the young ladies sigh in relief.
No good.
They need to look away from Agnes.
I don’t think this deception can last for long.
Misuzu, Mizushima Karen-san has something to tell everyone
I said. Karen-san, who’s standing behind me, moves forward.
Oh, what’s wrong?
Misuzu smiles and asks Karen-san.
Karen-san takes a deep breath.
Kouzuki Misuzu-sama, Kaan Momoko-sama, Kanou Sakurako-sama, and to all present in this party, I would like to announce
She bows her head.
We, Mizushima house, has caused a lot of trouble to everyone tonight. I am deeply sorry for that That’s a problem of your family, and you’re just a victim involved, so you don’t have to worry too much about it
Misuzu says without breaking her smile.
No, just now, Kouzuki-sama and my Grandfather, the head of Mizushima house had a conversation on the phone
Karen-san tells the girls in the courtyard.
Kouzuki-sama did? Directly with Mizushima-sama?
It’s a problem between nobility, so they all show interest in Karen-san right away.
Good. Now I pat Agnes’ back.
Papa, touch my butt
Agnes whispers to me.
Yeah, this should be good enough.
I reached out to Agnes’ ass and grabbed her squishy ass.
Haa, bakerata
Agnes exhales in relief.
And the conclusion is, Grandfather talked to Kouzuki-sama impolitely. Therefore, there is no forgiveness for Mizushima house next time My, what a silly thing to do
Kaan Momoko-san sighed.
It is crucial that he apologized to everyone and ask for Kouzuki-sama’s forgiveness I thought so too
Karen-san speaks in pain.
In short, Mizushima house hasn’t given a proper apology to Kouzuki-sama, correct?
Momoko-neechan said. Karen-san.
Yes, and I saw it all If that’s the case, we won’t help Mizushima house either
Momoko-neechan said.
It is us who were brought to danger by bringing in someone involved in Yakuza. If my Father and Grandfather were to hear this, they would end their ties with Mizushima house
Momoko-neechan’s right, all of the nobility would banish Mizushima house.
They brought the daughters of nobility to danger after all.
Besides, bringing such person in the party hosted at the main house of Kouzuki clan, they’re just asking for disgrace.
If Kaan house steps in and also torments Mizushima house, then.
Mizushima house can no longer find help from others.
My goodness But, it’s inevitable Indeed, Mizushima-sama has done it for himself My father will not forgive Mizushima-sama either Indeed. I’m sure my Grandfather won’t either It wasn’t just his impoliteness towards Kouzuki-sama, but he also caused a scandal to our families
The old man didn’t think that the problem would blow up this big.
I don’t know how did the Kansai Yakuza threaten him that he let Tendou Otome infiltrate, but.
He thought that Jii-chan would forgive him as long as he apologizes if exposed.
That is because they lived a comfortable life in nobility for so long that he thought that if there’s a problem, he can ask for Jii-chan or Kaan house’s help, and he’s saved.
That naive involvement continued for so long.
Then, what is Kouzuki-sama’s decision? Is he going to demolish the Mizushima house?
Momoko-neechan asks Karen-san.
Mizushima-sama’s house is an old one. It will not disappear that quickly
Kanou-san speaks regretfully.
It’s not just Jii-chan who wants to keep the nobility from diminishing.
i, uhm, as for the decision.
Karen-san talks about her choice isn’t Jii-chan’s suggestion.
i, Mizushima Karen, will become Kouzuki Misuzu-sama’s servant
She came up with it, so she reports it willingly.
She does that out of her pride as the daughter of Mizushima house.
She doesn’t want the other young ladies to think that she does what Jii-chan told her.
My subordinate?
Misuzu smiles.
yes. I asked Kouzuki-sama
See?
I will serve Misuzu-sama to show apology to the scandal caused by our family But, if you were to become a servant of Kouzuki house, doesn’t that mean that Mizushima house will disappear as nobility?
Momoko-neechan said.
Most of the young ladies belong to the Kouzuki clan, but.
They belong to the nobility. Becoming a servant of Kouzuki house means differently to them.
If she remains in nobility, she will come under Kouzuki house’s faction by her will, and the management body of their family will remain independent, but.
Becoming a servant means you have no status as nobility. You must be obedient to your boss. It means she’s entrusting her fate to Kouzuki house.
If I show my devotion as Misuzu-sama’s servant when I become an adult, I will become the head of Mizushima house, and the clan will revive as nobility, or so agreed
Even so, Karen-san’s talking as if it’s her suggestion, not Jii-chan’s.
If left alone, Mizushima house will fall to ruin no matter what
The 12-year-old girl tells everyone with determination.
Naturally, it depends on me whether I can work splendidly as Misuzu-sama’s servant or not. Although, Kouzuki-sama guarantees the safety of the current Mizushima house’s minimum fortunes so I could keep our side of agreement Minimum fortunes?
Momoko-neechan reacts.
Yes, the ancestral mansion and the cultural assets passed down to their descendants, that alone will remain preserved
Momoko-neechan turns to the young ladies.
Everyone. Did you hear that? Once your return home, no, I don’t mind if you do it right after leaving your seat. You are to report what happened today to your parents and grandparents. Kouzuki-sama and Kaan Momoko says that you are free to do whatever with the businesses managed by Mizushima house and the related companies That means, they won’t care about what they do with Mizushima house’s business and other related industry, and.
Oh, I see.
So far, those who are in the same trade were holding back.
All because of the idea that they don’t want nobility to diminish, so, they don’t want to crush them down if possible.
However, leave your hands off the fortunes Mizushima house will pass to their descendants. That’s because Mizushima Karen-san here will inherit it someday
Momoko-neechan looks at Karen-san.
Indeed. All of the nobility has to monitor Mizushima-sama so he won’t sell it off to good-for-nothing people when he has troubles with money Thank you
Karen-san bows her head.
I see, taking away the nobility status from Mizushima house for a while is a suitable punishment. Mizushima-sama needed to receive that much, at least. And during that period, Karen-san will become Misuzu’s servant. Karen-san will separate from her father and will become a follower of Kouzuki house, and once Karen-san becomes the head, Mizushima house will revive Kouzuki group will use her past as Misuzu’s servant as the foundation for the revival of the Mizushima house. Mizushima Karen-san is such a cute girl that I won’t mind making her my servant, but the events today all happened in Kouzuki-sama’s mansion. It can’t be helped, right, Misuzu?
Momoko-neechan looked at Misuzu.
Just because she’s your servant doesn’t mean you can be harsh with Karen-san. She’s the daughter that will revive Mizushima house someday
Misuzu smiles.
No, Momoko-oneesama. I can understand what you’re saying but, if she is my servant, then I have to treat her the same as my other servants. It will only hurt Karen-san’s resolve if I don’t do that Yes. Misuzu-sama’s correct. I will serve Misuzu-sama with all my body and soul. And I would like Misuzu-sama, Kouzuki-sama, Kaan-sama, and all the other nobility to acknowledge my loyalty. If not, I cannot wipe off the sins of Mizushima house This girl.
She’s praiseworthy for someone of her age.
I seem to be mistaken. Misuzu, train her strictly
Momoko-neechan said.
Yes. I will do so. Momoko-oneesama. Karen
Misuzu immediately calls Karen-san.
Yes, Misuzu-sama? You are now my servant, stand behind me Certainly
Karen-san bows her head then stands behind Misuzu’s chair.
Earlier, she was one of the young ladies that are allowed to take a seat, and yet,
Now, she’s a servant not allowed to sit down until her Master tells her.
I know that everyone has their thoughts towards Mizushima house because of this event, but.
Misuzu said.
As you can see, Mizushima Karen has become my servant. Do consider that any of your slanders towards Karen is slander towards Kouzuki house, do you mind?
Oh, I see.
Karen-san becoming a servant is for her protection.
It’s not just Kouzuki house. Kaan house as well
Momoko-neechan smiles.
Misuzu is my little sister. If you laugh at my little sister’s servant, then I will consider it ridicule on myself as well thank you. Misuzu-sama, Kaan-sama
Karen-san cries, overcome with emotion.
Don’t cry. You’re now a servant
Michi, her senior, hands Karen-san a handkerchief.
Crying before your master means you’re not paying attention yes
Karen-san immediately wipes off her tears.
Let’s do our best Thank you
And for some reason, the young ladies start clapping their hands.
Everyone’s making that kind of face, but we don’t know what comes next at this age
Torii-san said while grinning.
She says too much.
Everyone’s parents or grandparents might also fall into someone else’s servant just like Mizushima house if they fail Really? But yours is the one close to it, Mariko!
Momoko-neechan smiled at Torii-san.
If Torii electronics fall into crisis, nobody among the nobility will come to your help
Torii Mariko’s mother’s side was from the nobility.
Torii house doesn’t belong to the nobility.
Therefore, other nobility will not send help with the reason of preventing the decrease of nobility.
At that time, i will become Momoko-oneesama’s servant!
Torii-san said. Momoko-neechan.
No way. I don’t want someone cheeky like Mariko as my servant No way, Onee-sama!
The conversation between the jester and the princess continues.
Uhm, may I ask something?
Kanou-san looks at me.
yes?
I suddenly grabbed Agnes’ ass stronger.
Bakerata! Oh, sorry about that, Agnes
I pat Agnes gently.
What about Kurama-san?
Oh.
Kanou-san has been worried about the Kurama sisters all this time.
She sees that Mizushima Karen is saved, somehow, but.
Kurama sisters.
Jii-chan said this;
I inform her.
Nobility means that the descendant holds something they inherit from their ancestors. But, Kurama house lost it
Kurama Kaku, a historic building and garden.
Kurama sisters’ father ignored Jii-chan’s repeated advice, and when he completely crashed, he should know about his daughters in here.
Therefore, he said that Kurama house no longer belongs to nobility i see
Kanou-san shows a gloomy face.
And where are the two right now? Inside the mansion. I’m sure that they’re watching the situation in the courtyard. They cannot leave the mansion until everyone does first Indeed. They must be waiting for us to depart
In truth, they can’t come home as they’re coerced to become prostitutes, but.
What Kanou-san knows is that it would be an insult to the ladies of nobility if they leave.
I see, if Kouzuki-sama says so, I can no longer help either
Momoko-neechan said.
Grandfather and I grieved for the loss of Kurama Kaku. What did Sakurako’s grandfather say? It’s an unforgivable reckless action
Kanou house’s head is Sakurako-san’s grandfather.
In short, Jii-chan, Momoko-neechan’s grandfather, and Sakurako-san’s grandfather.
The big three are all angry at the father of the Kurama sisters.
It’s a building with history and cultural assets that there were proposals to keep away from construction work. Despite that, Kurama-sama is so stubborn that he started the construction work before the end of discussion period Momoko-neechan said.
From the father’s perspective, Kurama Kaku is nothing but an old building that confines him.
And so, he destroyed it, leaving no trace.
He dug down the garden for the sake of the high-rise building he’s constructing.
Can we not take those sisters as my servants for their protection?
Momoko-neechan said. Misuzu.
If Kaan-sama’s family is willing to pay for Kurama-sama’s debts. Right. There’s that. That’s unreasonable. The Kurama Kaku group has no hope of recovering from their debts. The foreign investors deceived them
Momoko-neechan looks at Torii-san.
Maiko, can your family save them? Torii electronics has some great achievements recently, don’t they? My grandfather only does business where he profits. If the former Kurama Kaku remained, he would gladly help out, but, I don’t think he would want to get involved with a high rise hotel that stopped construction halfway and is just an ordinary hotel and restaurant with no unique characteristic That’s the reasonable evaluation of the Kurama Kaku group currently. At least, if those two were to marry into another family, their children can inherit Kurama house, but.
Torii-san said.
Marrying into those girls means you’ll share the debts of Kurama house. I don’t think there’s any nobility who would want to take that punishment If anyone were to do that, their family will get angry at them
Marriage in nobility needs approval not just from the parents and grandparents, but also from the branch families, servants, and the executives involved in their business.
I know that structure.
Even if a son of a noble liked Kurama Misato-san or Arisu-san and wants to make her his wife.
Other nobilities scowl at the debts of Kurama house, and so the whole family will protest against it.
It would be hard to have other nobility condemn you for your choice.
But, I still want to do something for them
Kanou-san said.
Right. I feel the same way
Momoko-neechan said.
We have to leave this problem for the adults. We can do nothing in this problem
She sighs.
Thank you very much. It was a fun day
Finally, Misuzu’s party ends.
Misuzu and I are standing in the courtyard’s exit, sending off the guests.
Yoshiko-san’s with us.
Ruriko’s with Agnes, standing behind us.
I have learned a lot
Kuromiya-san, the warrior lady, told us.
I’m looking forward to the training Yes, please do
Misuzu smiled, then Kuromiya-san goes to Michi.
I’m looking forward to your guidance What?
Michi’s surprised. Yet shows no emotion in her face.
You may be Misuzu-sama’s servant, but you’re my teacher in skill
Oh, so that’s how she thinks.
Please do that on the training grounds with the bodyguards
Torii-san told Kuromiya-san.
My mindset is with martial arts training, anytime, anywhere It’s just you who think that way. Do you not understand that you’re the unique one here? Do you not want to be called as such?
This is bad.
The mood’s turning sour.
Hey, Haiji, stand in front of me. You know that this person is dangerous, don’t you? Yes, I know, but, I will not come in front of Mariko-ojousama Hey, you’re my bodyguard, aren’t you? Uhm, if it’s about my bodyguard duty, you just dismissed me, and we’re not done talking about reemployment Didn’t I say that I’ll hire you again? I still haven’t presented my terms Terms? I need a better term than before if you want to employ me Hey, Haiji I’m Adelheid That’s why I’m calling you Haiji
I wonder how long they can continue this skit?
But, it seems that everything went smoothly. I thank you, Misuzu
Momoko-neechan told us.
So far, we all had walls between ourselves, despite being fellow nobility. But today’s party took that off That’s because Momoko-oneesama participated. Thank you My, you’re right, but still
Momoko-neechan puffs her chest with pride.
Sakurako, you, and I have become sworn sisters, and nobility will prosper!
Momoko-neechan smiles brightly.
But, behind her.
Kanou Sakurako-san still looks gloomy.
She’s looking up at the mansion where the Kurama sisters stay in.
Chapter 876. High Life Unsophisticated
That was fun I enjoyed the party
The young ladies greet off Misuzu with a smile before they leave the courtyard.
I’m glad that you enjoyed the party
Misuzu replies with a smile next to me.
Misuzu is the host of today’s party, and so she has to greet off all the young ladies leaving.
I want to use this chance to get closer to Misuzu-sama, Ruriko-sama, and Yoshiko-sama Indeed. You can call us out anytime. Also, please be kind to princess Agnes
Misuzu turns around.
I told Agnes to not cling to me during this period, so she had no choice but to stick to Ruriko instead.
Well, the two of them get along anyway. Koyomi-chan’s standing next to them, and Yoshiko-san’s over there too.
Mizushima Karen-san, who just became Misuzu’s servant, is standing by with Michi.
Agnes will surely gather a lot of attention once she enters school.
Or should I say that Agnes stands out because of her half-race? She has the charm to gather attention even in a gathering of beauties.
She has to get used to it, even for a bit.
Yes, my little sister is still in elementary, I’ll tell her about it Our branch family also has a 6th grader. But, would the princess mind to have friends with a lineage such as ours?
The young lady said, Misuzu.
Don’t mind it. Princess Agnes is fresh in Japan, I believe she wants to have a lot of friends
Correct.
Currently, Agnes has nobody but her family.
She hasn’t met someone who can be her friend from a different family, where they attend the same school, but doesn’t sleep together.
Our family will never betray the members.
We’re all sharing the same boat, after all.
If someone’s hurt, they are hurt as well.
Both Agnes and I can only live together with our family.
We don’t open up our hearts to anyone other than our family.
Agnes and I both didn’t have guardians, parents.
Therefore, I’m thankful to Minaho-neesan, who picked us up.
Thankful to Misuzu and the girls who accepted us.
I’m happy to meet this wonderful family, and I have nothing to fear when I’m with my family.
But.
Agnes and I cannot stay spoiled in the warmth of the family.
There is an outside world.
We need to make contact with people outside our family.
If we don’t put our effort into it, we cannot preserve our family.
We cannot close off our family and remain self-sufficient after all.
We need to make contact with the outside world, create a business, earn money.
Someday, both Agnes and I need to earn for our family.
Nagisa and Yukino are both giving birth next year.
Tsukiko also wants to get pregnant as soon as possible.
Our family will increase in numbers.
That is why we want Agnes to learn how to live together with people outside as well.
It’s to transition her from one protected by everyone in the family to one who protects those newly born in the family.
That is why she must make friends outside.
Friends are different from family.
They’re people from different families, they don’t share the same fate as oneself.
They might think and act differently.
Some might lie and show ill-will towards Agnes.
How can she create a good relationship with the outside people?
That is my current worries, and also Misuzu’s.
I want Agnes to experience the same worries we’re having now. I want her to surpass it.
I want her to grow to a strong girl.
Naturally, I cannot lose to the reality outside as well.
Agnes is always watching me.
I can’t reach failure sooner than Agnes does.
Kuroda-sama, Nagataba-sama, thank you for waiting
A maid from Kouzuki SS calls over.
Yes. We’re coming. Well then, Misuzu-sama, Thank you for inviting us today. See you at school I will also excuse myself, good day Take care on your way home. Good day, Kurota-sama, Nagataba-sama
Misuzu greets them off.
The other side of the courtyard has some cars coming to get the daughters from each family come from the parking lot in order.
It seems predetermined by Kouzuki SS and each family contact on which young lady goes out first.
Well, that probably depends on the influence of each family.
Kaan-sama, Kanou-sama, good day Yes, good day to you as well
The young ladies leaving greet off Momoko-neechan and Kanou-san.
Momoko-neechan returns the greetings as if she’s the host of the party, but.
Kanou-san does nothing but returns a bow.
Right, those who are in higher status go out last.
It applies to parties and conferences, but it seems the rule applies even at the end of the party.
Kuromori-sama, good day
Huh, me?
Ah, yes, thank you for coming today
I bow in a hurry.
The young ladies who were watching me laughed.
You have found a sincere man. Misuzu-sama
She told Misuzu.
I believe Kouzuki house will be at peace with this splendid partner of yours
Huh?
Oh, I see. It’s flattery.
They can’t speak ill of me at this moment.
Thank you
Misuzu replies with a smile.
Ojou-sama, let’s go Yes, let’s go
The bodyguard called the young lady, and she left the courtyard.
Next, Mokuhon-sama, Jinai-sama My, it’s us. Misuzu-sama, Kaan-sama, Kanou-sama, if you’d excuse us Indeed, good day
The young ladies are sent home smoothly.
However.
I had to greet them off together with Misuzu until all of them goes home?
It’s hard to be Misuzu’s fiance.
If Misuzu hosts another one of these events, I had to do this again.
No, wait.
What if Ruriko hosts it?
Ah, I knew it, I also have to stand next to Ruriko.
It would be unfair if it’s just Misuzu who receives special treatment.
Danna-sama, please look at that
I look where Misuzu is looking.
Oh, as usual, Rei-chan’s fans gather around her, both young ladies and bodyguards.
On the other side.
Hmm?
Some bodyguards are surrounding Shou-neechan with a cold look in their faces.
I’m no longer talking today
Shou-neechan said with a smile.
Everyone will come over to do joint training with Kouzuki SS, and so if you have something to ask, please do that at that time. However, please come only when your Master gave permission
Oh, it’s those girls who want to part from the family they’re serving and test their strength.
Kouzuki SS has become their point of contact.
They can check the degree of their strength in the joint training.
Families with excess bodyguards will fill in for those lacking.
Well, the spy case has made it clear, I think that the families will think about it seriously
Momoko-neechan said, laughing.
Each family who has servants and bodyguards who served them for years means that they will have it hard
Due to the decline of birth rates, most families have no daughters, and the servants guarding the nobility itself is decreasing.
It’s hard to hire someone from overseas, like how Mariko did with Adelheid-chan. Although, it’s outrageous to have crime syndicates to push bodyguards to us
Momoko-neechan said.
So far, each family assign bodyguards by themselves and other families don’t interject, but, with the case that happened today, I’m sure that everyone will need approval from other families now
Tendou Otome sneaked in as Mizushima Karen-san’s bodyguard one week ago.
Therefore, Tendou Otome shared the same school life with the young ladies for one week.
Naturally, the likelihood of personal information flowing to the Kansai Yakuza exists.
Each family has to give approval, or should I say that Kouzuki house will batch it all up? I think it’s a good idea to ask Kouzuki SS to do a background check on the new bodyguards. Kaan house wouldn’t want to go through all that trouble Kanou house lost its momentum, and so they have no assets to use for research such as that. Kouzuki SS isn’t the only bodyguard company focused on nobility, but we have confidence in Kouzuki-sama. I will talk to my grandfather. I don’t think other families will complain either
Moving forward, if a nobility wants to hire a bodyguard for their daughter, they will send a petition to Kouzuki house, Kouzuki SS will investigate that bodyguard, and give approval if they don’t find any faults.
Bodyguards Kouzuki SS hasn’t checked yet can’t go to school with the young ladies.
If done habitually, Kouzuki SS can grasp all of their skills, no matter which nobility the bodyguard serves from.
In case that the personality and age don’t fit the young lady, the bodyguard can find another appropriate house and work there instead.
Haiji, you mentioned that the foreign bodyguards that graduated from the Academy in Europe are all affiliated with nobility, right?
Torii-san asks Adelheid-san with a teasing smile.
Adelheid-san, a self-proclaimed A-rank license holder, thinks that way, but.
Shou-neechan herself is an alumnus of that academy.
If the other side wants to come to Japan, they will have to consult with Shou-neechan, the top of Kouzuki SS.
Nobody other than Kouzuki house could do a background check on bodyguards coming from abroad.
Adelheid-san’s recommendations are a bit worrying as she only took the shorterm course from the academy, and she’s just 13.
It’s not yet too late, you should curry Seki-san’s favor. I think she’ll allow you to get one referral in at least
Torii-san said.
Yeah, Adelheid-san can tell Shou-neechan, This person wants to come to Japan. Then Kouzuki SS will give it a check to guarantee the identity and background.
If that’s the case, Adelheid-san can call out to her friends when she was in Europe and earn a referral fee from them.
Naturally, offering mediation is profitable, but trust is crucial here.
I understand. I’m unwilling, but I’ll give it a go
Adelheid-san goes to Shou-neechan with her clothes torn out from Anjou Kinuka-san’s iron claws, with her legs and panty exposed.
Haiji will grow once she gets to know the world more. Her talents are great
Torii-san said.
That applies to you too, Mariko
Momoko-neechan giggled.
Then.
Misuzu, Mariko and Adelheid-chan will stay
Huh?
You still have a lot to deal with, right? Mizushima house is already dealt with, but, There’s still that spy and the Kurama sisters
Momoko-neechan sent a glance on Mizushima Karen-san and said.
Hearing the name of Kurama sisters, Kanou-san reacted.
I would also like to know their situation. And so, I want to stay, but, you know, the shrine maidens are in here, aren’t they?
Momoko-neechan smiles.
Kaan Momoko knows about the Takakura shrine maidens.
I want to remain in control all the time. I don’t like other people manipulating me. But, I don’t care if other people peek into my thoughts
She really is easy-going.
Therefore, I won’t stay. But on the other hand, Mariko will stay. Her personality’s unique, isn’t it? I can find it out if the shrine maidens were to change her personality. If that happens, Kaan house and Kouzuki house would be in an all-out war She said with a smile. Momoko-oneesama, what are you talking about?
Torii-san asks dumbfoundedly.
Oh, she doesn’t know about Miko power.
I mean, Torii-san would spread the word about it without care.
She doesn’t think of how outrageous it would be to do that.
Shrine maidens are all in Danna-sama and my control. We will not do anything that impolite, as long as Torii-sama doesn’t force our hand
Misuzu replies.
Well, I trust you. Misuzu is now my little sister. Mariko, stay over for now and watch the events unfold. I will contact the Torii house personally. They’re no match against Kaan house anyway
Oh, Torii-san’s family and Kaan house are close.
We might have to stay overnight
Ruriko, who’s hugging Agnes, speaks from behind us.
I don’t mind. I will stay over the main mansion of the Kouzuki house. Besides, I always stay over Momoko-oneesama’s mansion
Torii-san said.
If you are to stay over, then you don’t mind following our home tradition, do you? Home tradition? I don’t know what’s that, but I’ll surely follow it. I’m now looking forward to it
Torii-san laughs, but.
I’m scared of what Ruriko’s saying.
Ruriko’s got some plans when she speaks like that.
Momoko-oneesama, there will be no changes with Torii-sama coming from supernatural powers, but you don’t mind Torii-sama changing after spending a night with us, do you?
Ruriko told Momoko-neechan.
What do you mean? Coming in touch with Onii-sama develops people. It happened to me
Ruriko smiles.
Kou-chan?
Momoko-neechan looked at me, curiously.
Really? I don’t get it though
Then, she speaks to Misuzu.
My purpose for today was to see if Kou-chan’s relationship with Misuzu is for good
Me?
I thought that the Kouzuki house was crazy for choosing an unsophisticated man for their daughter
Unsophisticated1?
But, I thought that it wasn’t Misuzu’s fault for choosing that kind of man. They often say that lovers are a relationship between equally leveled males and females. That there shouldn’t be someone excelling or inferior Momoko-neechan said. Actually, as I watch the party today, you all didn’t have the composure. Always swearing because you’re doing all the best that you can do, it’s inelegant I’m sorry
Misuzu apologized.
Why apologize? Misuzu’s still young, and it shows everyone that you’re doing your best. Therefore, they hold a good impression of Misuzu, Kouzuki house, and Kou-chan
Oh, she’s right.
Misuzu and I didn’t have that much composure.
But, if it was me, it will be a much more elegant party. Kaan house will host a party next time, come with Kou-chan Yes. Thank you. That was insightful, Momoko-oneesama
Misuzu said.
But, it’s our family tradition to do all our best to continue even if we don’t have the composure, even if the party isn’t elegant
Family tradition?
It’s the same line Ruriko used earlier,
Oh, another family tradition? I didn’t know that Kouzuki house had that
Momoko-neechan laughs.
Wrong. It’s Danna-sama’s, Kuromori Kou’s family tradition
Misuzu speaks with a straight face.
And so, we’ll leave the elegance to Momoko-oneesama I see
Once again, Momoko-neechan looks at me.
Ruriko too? Yes. I follow Onii-sama Yoshiko-san?
Momoko-neechan asks. Yoshiko-san.
Currently, Kouzuki-sama moves with Kou-sama as the center bakerata!
Agnes suddenly speaks up.
She’s glaring at Momoko-neechan.
Michi’s staring at Momoko-neechan silently.
Huh? Princess Agnesama
