Pure 10

Michi points at the wall behind Kenmochi.

It’s the restroom for this drawing-room

Yeah, there sure is a door that stands out.

Do your business over there and hurry up

Nagisa tells Kenmochi with a smile.

no

What’s wrong, you’ll leak if you don’t hurry

It’s not coming out anymore. My bladder closed

If the toilet is in the drawing-room that blocks off reception, then the restroom also blocks reception.

It would be impossible for them to make contact with their phone from the restroom.

You people are quite interesting

Yoshikawa, the former police officer speaks after a long silence.

However, this isn’t good conduct. The wall over there, that ceiling, and that one, those are hidden cameras.

He points at the surveillance cameras in the drawing room

Perhaps, there should be some hidden microphones as well

What? You bastards are recording us without our permission?

Kenmochi shouts.

Well, that’s indeed unfair. What’s this? Does the Kouzuki house always take secret photos of their guests without their permission?

Wow! That’s an outrageous family

Kobayakawa stirs up.

Hey, if you’re recording then stop it right now! This is an infringement of privacy! What the hell is this place? What a horrible family!

Kenmochi shouts loudly.

Then.

Sure, this room has some cameras and microphones, and everything that’s happening here is recorded, but.

Michi’s aid.

Oh! You admitted it! You admitted using wiretaps and hidden cameras! Hey! Kobayakawa! Be sure to write that down! I’m going to write on my blog saying that Kouzuki house received us outrageously Kenmochi heats up.

So, what crime is it?

Michi speaks calmly.

Isn’t it a crime to take secret photos and wiretap the guests who came to search? Huh? Do you not get it?

Then, what criminal law is it?

What?

Don’t ask me. I’m the one asking

Michi looks at Kenmochi with cold eyes.

Huh? yoshikawa-san, tell this brat what it is!

Kenmochi brings the subject to Yoshikawa.

However.

Well, that’s.

Yoshikawa hesitates.

There’s no crime if one has cameras and microphones installed in their private home. It’s the owner’s freedom to install whatever device they want in their rooms

Michi said.

However, that camera’s filming us secretly, hasn’t it? They took records of my face without my knowledge! Isn’t it a crime to take photos of me without my permission?

If you’re going with that logic, then you should sue all the supermarkets, convenience stores, and banks

Kenmochi gets offended.

But I’m Kenmochi Yuugo! What about my right of publicity?

It would be hard to claim your right of publicity if the video isn’t used to make a profit. If one’s a celebrity whose face is known to many people, security cameras can capture their face when they visit a business facility, and if you make a claim that I have my right of publicity, and so don’t show me on security cameras, then it would be difficult Is she telling the truth?

Kenmochi asks Moori, the lawyer.

Yes, I don’t think that we can make a claim in this case

The lawyer accepts Michi’s claim.

If that’s the case, why is Yoshikawa saying that it’s a problem?

Kenmochi looks at the former policeman.

That’s because police often use it

Nagisa smiles.

You talk about something that isn’t an illegal act and says that it’s a problem to shake the other party, don’t you?

Ugh

Yoshikawa is speechless.

Earlier, he said, It’s unfair. That means the fact that your phones can’t contact outside, and we’re recording videos of you is unfair, but it’s not illegal

Oh, he said that on purpose to scare us off!

Torii-san is impressed.

I see. He purposely used hidden cameras and wiretap to make it sound like it’s an illegal act

That’s right. You should remember that. It’s a method often used by government people. This is bad, or Oh, you see. or Oh man, but they won’t speak of certainty. They’re only creating a mood to coerce you That’s informative!

Nagisa said. Torii-san nods.

Nono, wait, I just noticed it now, cameras might be okay but what about wiretap? Isn’t that illegal?

Kenmochi asks again.

Oh? Are you sure you want to ask that?

Nagisa laughs.

Aren’t your lawyer and your newsman using a voice recorder in their pocket, recording the whole conversation?

Ngangu!

Bingo.

It’s common sense in the modern era. When having a serious talk with someone, you need to have a record of the conversation. Even phones can be used as a sound recorder

You’re also recording and yet you complain about our methods? Isn’t that what we call unfair?

Nagisa said.

but! i’m a guest! I’m Kouzuki house’s guest! what do you think of the guests of the Kouzuki house! this is rude!

Kenmochi shouts.

Oh, were you a guest?

What did you say?

If that’s the case, act like one. We only see you as dangerous people who came here to find fault with the Kouzuki house. Therefore, Kouzuki house had no choice but to be cautious

That’s right, they act so impolitely, they’re no guests.

It’s outrageous to hear them say that we’re the rude ones here.

People from Kouzuki SS are watching the state of affairs in this room. Isn’t that obvious? It’s highly likely that you’ll try to harm us. That’s just the minimum defense plan, and you have no right to start complaining about us Nagisa said. Kenmochi;

Bitch, do you not know that I’m Kenmochi Yuugo?

Yes, didn’t you name yourself earlier?

I’m going to make you regret looking down on me, remember it

I’ll forget you. I don’t even want to recall your name

You bastard! I’m going to beat you up

At that moment, Moori stopped Kenmochi.

Kenmochi-san, don’t say anything further!

What? This woman’s.

It’s not just the bodyguards who watch the video!

Huh?

I’m sure that some people in charge of Kouzuki house’s judiciary affairs are watching too

Kenmochi suddenly realized.

Hmm, that was some heat up but it’s great that you lack in vocabulary. If you spoke something else, they can use that as for legal action against threat

Nagisa smiles regretfully.

Huh?

It is as he says. Or should I say that what you said earlier is already out, if we sue you, it’ll become dangerous for you? Uhm, think about the story of Kenmochi-san, a business manager, a man with social status, and what he does to a weak woman The lawyer said.

What are you talking about? This woman is from the Kouzuki house, right? If that’s the case, her social status should be higher

She named herself as Katagai Nagisa-san

Nagisa smiles.

Yes, I’m close to Shige-chan but I’m just an ordinary mother working an ordinary job. I’m not someone from the Kouzuki house. Compared to you, I’m quite socially weak, am I not?

Kenmochi’s family is an enterprise, and he has various companies managed in his hands.

I wonder what will happen if an ordinary mother receives threats such as I’m going to make sure you regret it, I’m going to crush you?

Nagisa wins the first round.

Dammit

Kenmochi-san, I’ll do the negotiations, could you please quiet down for a bit?

Moori, the lawyer tells Kenmochi.

Yeah, I’m leaving this to you!

Then, he looked at Kobayakaaw, the news reporter.

Hey, write everything that happened just now

Ah, yes

Kobayakawa prepares to open his laptop.

For now, he’s going to write everything that happened and the whole duration of the negotiations.

It’s all to upload his news on his website.

Well, our conversation’s been derailed, I apologize

Moori apologizes first.

Not at all. That was fun. So, shall we get down to business?

Nagisa carries on.

I would like to talk with someone from the Kouzuki house, not you

And on those grounds, Shige-chan requested me to deal with you people. Besides, Misuzu-chan is still in high school, even if she talks, her words won’t be the decision of the Kouzuki house

Nagisa said.

Uhm, if there are cameras, that means that sir Kouzuki is also watching, isn’t he?

Morii investigates.

That’s our of my knowledge

Nagisa smiles.

Then, I will speak with the assumption that sir Kozuki is watching

That’s your choice, but I don’t know if he’s watching or not. Please understand that

No, it’s Jii-chan, I’m sure that he’s watching.

But, let’s play dumb here.

Also, if there are any problems later, Jii-chan can just retort that he doesn’t know anything about it.

I’ll get straight to the point, we would like to retrieve Kurama Misato-sama and Arisu-sama

Oh, but why?

Nagisa smiles.

We know that they’re imprisoned in this mansion

Really? Where did you hear that from?

We heard it from the Kurama house

Then, did the Kurama house ask you people to take them?

Yes, that’s right

The lawyer said.

I see. Then, show us the authorization letter

Authorization letter?

I mean, you people aren’t from the Kurama house, are you?

Kenmochi Yuugo-san is Kurama Misato-san’s fiance

So what?

He’s her fiance, and so, he has rights to take her

But, it’s just engagement, isn’t it? They’re not married yet

However, engaged couples have a special relationship

You can’t use that. If you’re going to use that, then come back with an authorization letter from the Kurama house

Nagisa retorts.

Then.

That’s a cheap answer

Moori smiles.

I’m a lawyer, do you think that you can make such cheap answers against me?

what?

Chapter 998. Noon Sunshine The darkness of the Internet.

First, chairman Kurama said that My daughter hasn’t come back home after some incident in the Kouzuki house. We have that conversation recorded

Moori takes out a rectangular recorder.

Recently, machines like this become smaller and smaller. I always carry around several recorders with me. It’s always a problem when someone’s sitting in trial and says I didn’t say it, and so I’m prepared to record any remarks I can use for evidence That means, other than that one, he has other recorders to record our conversation in this drawing-room.

Although, Kenmochi Yuugo himself and Kobayakawa are also using their recorders.

I don’t know about the retired police officer, Yoshikawa.

Anyway, it’s the truth when we say that Kurama-san is extremely troubled to find that his daughters haven’t returned home

The lawyer smiles.

Then, first.Kurama Misato-jou and Arisu-jou is present in this mansion, that is to say, the Kouzuki Mansion? I would like to hear an honest answer

Hey, Morii-san, I don’t think that we have to remain unsettled after this late?

Kenmochi is getting impatient as he asks the lawyer.

I’m sorry Kenmochi-san but we have to follow the order. First, we need them to declare that the ladies of the Kurama house are in here

That’s right, we still haven’t admitted that we have the Kurama sisters here.

They need to make that clear first. Oh, by the way, it will cause inconvenience to you if you lie. If in case you say that they’re not here and they are here, it’ll put you in the worst place when we reach a trial, don’t you think?

Wait a second.

This premise is weird.

Uhm, what trial?

I asked.

Of course, the trial for confining the young ladies of the Kurama house

Err.

Does he think that we’re stupid?

I asked Misuzu.

This guy’s a lawyer, not a policeman. Despite that, why is he making that kind of inquiry?

Then, the lawyer;

Yes, I’m a lawyer. I’m not from the police. However, either way, once the Kurama house files a lawsuit to the police for this confinement incident, the conversation we have now will become evidence. Therefore, I don’t think that it’s profitable for you to lie That’s right. We have a lawyer present in here, and so I think that you should speak of the truth

Yoshikawa, the former police said.

Danna-sama

Misuzu looks at me worriedly, but.

No, I don’t think that we need to answer, and so we won’t

I replied.

Anyway, I can see that they’re trying to drag out a slip of the tongue from us.

Does it mean that you’re admitting that you have the young ladies of the Kurama house in here?

The lawyer glared at me.

Like I said earlier, my answer is no comment

If you’re not answering, then that means that they are in here, aren’t they?

Oh, this guy thinks that we’re idiots.

So, I’m not answering.

If you’re not answering, does it mean that you’re showing acknowledgment?

The lawyer smiles.

What do we do?

Oh well, let’s proceed now that you accepted it

We’re still thinking and yet the lawyer proceeds.

Hey, write that they admitted it on your internet news

Kenmochi tells Kobayakawa.

Kuromori-sama, I think that we should’ve refuted?

Torii-san whispers to me worriedly.

No, it’s okay

The lawyer is purposely making us uneasy, or maybe, make us angry.

Well then, incidentally, the young ladies of the Kurama house are still minors. Misato-jou is 18. Arisu-jou’s 13, and is in first-year middle school. I believe that you should return them to their parents no matter what reason, shouldn’t you?

Yes, that’s right. They’re still young! Shouldn’t you be returning them to their fathers and mothers?

Kenmochi agreed with the lawyer.

Of course, you will say that This is not a confinement case. The young ladies are staying here willingly, then, for example, they fought with their parents, and so they’re staying in their school friend’s house Kouzuki-san’s house Yeah. Whatever the child may say, they still need to return to their parent. I think so too

Yoshikawa nods.

But, you aren’t a legitimate proxy for Kurama-san, their parent, right?

Nagisa asks back.

That’s right. We have accepted authorization from the Kurama house, however. I am Kenmochi-san’s lawyer and I have no connections with the Kurama house.

If that’s the case

Nagisa said. The lawyer stopped her.

That’s the reason why we’re trying to settle here, aren’t we?

You mean.

We’re offering ourselves as the unofficial people, however, next time, the police can get involved

The lawyer said.

Isn’t it problematic if the Kouzuki house is involved in a criminal case, is it?

Of course, we’re going to bring media next time! We’re going to let journalists do a household search!

Kenmochi laughs.

Kouzuki house may be able to control the mass media but it’s different over the internet. We can make big news on the internet!

That’s right. There could be no news over the TV, newspapers, and radios, but, if we make it big over the internet, I think that you know much about the collapse of influential people. Recently, most news reach people only through the internet Kobayakawa laughs.

And that’s why the focus is on my website. Uhihi

May I? Even with Kouzuki house, only has a boss among their huge group. The masses hate people who are wealthy and powerful. We can make this confinement case come to light and they will bash the Kouzuki house a lot, you know?

That’s right. They’ll boycott you! It’ll make a huge uproar!

I’ll write that This and that company are under the Kouzuki house! Kufufufu

Err.

Oh, it’s that? Any event can unexpectedly bring an effect, that kind of logic?

I speak with a fed-up tone.

What’s with you? We can make that happen so easily!

Kenmochi said.

I don’t have any vested interests over the mass media but I have a large circle in my IT company

Yes, that’s right! Kenmochi knows a lot of people! It’s not just me on news sites, he has a lot of access and connections with everyone

In this age, everyone’s using their phones to look at the news. Furthermore, the news we make them read gets mixed along with the top international and internal news!

Oh, sure.

Major news is mixed with discussions about a celebrity, or commodity advertisements.

To tell you the truth, the times have changed! The bossy attitude of the nobility is already in the past. We’re in the 21st century now! No matter how rich, or powerful your acquaintances are, in the internet age, it’s all stripped off! I don’t care about the old blood of nobility from the past, but we’re no longer at the age where the nobility can live in such huge castles and pretend to be the boss!

Kenmochi said.

Listen, I’m going all out now. I’m going to let you know how fearsome it is to face the world of the internet. This is all-out war! I’m going to let the whole world know about the minor women you’re confining! The whole internet world is going to know! You bastards!

Kenmochi-san, could you restrain yourself?

As expected, the lawyer stops him.

Can I ask something?

Yoshikawa speaks up.

I don’t know much about the internet which Kenmochi-san talks about. However, to be honest, I feel some discomfort after coming to this mansion

Yoshikawa looks around the room.

How do I say it, we have four adult males visiting the mansion, and yet, the other side sent young women and children, it looks like they’re making us look like fools

He glared at us.

Trapping us in a room with no windows, and they didn’t even offer tea, I can’t stomach this

Well, yeah, we didn’t offer tea at all.

This is displeasing, or should I say that it’s irritating to see that they don’t care about their guests at all. No, I don’t know how great the nobility is but, I think that they’re going out of bounds with how they look down on us!

Somehow, his anger is different from Kenmochi.

Is this how the influential people look down on us, the ordinary people?

That’s right! Don’t look down on ordinary people! Kobayakawa-san, add that on the article

Yes, Kenmochi-san!

Yeah, these guys are useless.

Or should I say that Kenmochi-san is also the son of a wealthy man?

Why do you look like you’re the representative of the ordinary people?

Then, the lawyer;

Anyway, you should hand over the Kurama sisters to us. If you don’t, either way, it will become extremely inconvenient for the Kouzuki house, won’t it?

No, these guys.

They’re going to start a libel campaign on the internet even if we hand the sisters to them.

I know that they’re the kind of people that will do that.

They’re people who will never do anything honestly.

I think that’s it’s about time, Dear

Nagisa smiled at me.

We already bought enough time

Huh?

You are from the rural area

Nagisa shows a captivating smile to Kenmochi and his group.

what?

What I mean is that you don’t know how fearsome it is to face the nobility. I don’t know much about IT, but you think that you already reached the heavens just because your company became a bit big, that’s cute don’t look down on me! Who do you think I am? Bitch!

Kenmochi shouts, but.

From Shige-chan’s eyes, you all are just small chicks and nothing else, ufufu

Then.

Shou-oneesan, is that enough?

She looked up at the ceiling and asked.

Then.

Yes, we’re done now. First, we deleted Kenmochi Yuugo’s account for the suspicion of fraud in his blog. That includes his SNS. Kobayakawa-san’s news site is inaccessible to anyone

Shou-neechan said.

Wait, how can you do that?

that’s right! Why would my site.

Kenmochi and Kobayakawa shouts, but.

How do you think we did it?

Shou-neechan seems to be having fun.

I mean, it would be impossible even with the power of the state! This is absurd!

that’s right!

Right, it would be impossible even if we order the country to do that. They’ll get angry because it’s an illegal act

That’s right! It’s illegal!

But you know, that doesn’t matter to us

Shou-neechan laughs.

No, wait, this is a trap! American company SNS hates political pressure. No matter how much the Kouzuki house threatened them, they can’t delete accounts like that

Kenmochi said.

Yes, and that’s why we spoofed Kenmochi-san and deleted your account

Spoofed?

That’s a crime! Hey! Kobayakawa! Write that one! Tell the world that Kouzuki house is filled with criminals!

yes! I’ll write it!

Oh, how?

Shou-neechan says.

While at it, we already canceled the contracts on your phone and laptops and tablets. All the telecommunication equipment you can guess. And so, you can’t publish anything on the internet with the devices you currently have even if you leave the room.

The two paled.

Of course, I’m sorry to say to Yoshikawa-san and the lawyer, but you can’t use yours either

If that’s true, then it would be a scary crime, I’ll sue for sure!

The lawyer faces the speaker on the ceiling and shouts.

That’s right, if you make our current smartphones useless, then we’re just going to buy a new one. If I can’t make a new contract with my name, then I’m going to use prepaid. No, even if you do that, we can just enter an internet cafe and, ah, what do I say, I can just borrow a laptop in my office That’s right! I can just talk to a friend in the company, borrow his laptop, and write the article! If you’re serious about what you told us then I’ll be sure to tell the whole world about the crimes Kouzuki house did!

Then, Shou-neechan;

Huh, do you think that you can come back home alive?

Kenmochi and his group went Huh?

Right. I mean, it would be useless to keep them alive. I think we should kill them

I told the men.

wait a second, are you sure? even if you’re Kouzuki house, doing such an absurd thing.

Kenmochi’s frightened.

I’m from Kuromori though

I speak with a serious face.

That’s it. Do you think that the people from the surface of Kouzuki house would deal with troublemakers such as you?

Nagisa laughs.

This is the job for the people on the other side

I slowly look at the four men.

Wait! Yoshikawa-san! Do something! Aren’t you former police?

I am, but, I worked at the local area where it’s peaceful, I don’t know much about the Yakuza groups!

As expected, they only looked for a guy who is former police, it doesn’t matter who.

Oh, we’re not Yakuza though. We’re people much scarier than those people

Nagisa speaks to Kenmochi and his group.

By the way, I already downed all of the servers in Kenmochi-san’s company. While at it, we also cut off the circuit. And those within reach, physically destroyed. Currently, Kenmochi-san’s office lost the ability to transmit anything. The optic fibers on the telephone line are also cut down They even went that far.

It’s likely that you already created a slander article on Kouzuki house, and uploaded it on the internet in a timer. Kobayakawa-san’s office, or should I say, your apartment is also cut off

As if we would do something that troublesome!

Oh? It’s my job to take down all the potential threats

Shou-neechan said.

Then does this mean?

Yes, Moori-san, you can’t use your phone or mail either. While at it, there’s a blackout

this is obstruction of business! i’m going to sue you!

The lawyer said, but.

That would be great if you can. That is if you return alive

Shou-neechan said. The lawyer drops his shoulders.

No, uhm, are you serious about killing us?

Kobayakawa’s afraid.

Oh, Kobayakawa-san, have you not seen it?

Shou-neechan replies.

Coming from the front door to this drawing-room. Do you know how many people from Kouzuki SS are present in this mansion?

He should’ve seen muscular men of the security group in the mansion.

Kouzuki SS is Kouzuki house’s private army. We remove all those who are trying to harm the Kouzuki house

Hii!

Kobayakawa cowers in fear.

By the way, Kurama house sent a document saying that they are completely uninvolved with the actions of Kenmochi-san. Also, as for your engagement with Kurama Misato-san, Kurama-san’s father writes a letter about revoking your engagement, and it will reach in here soon enough, I’ll give it to you later. Try to survive while it’s on the way Now that the engagement is canceled, Kenmochi can’t tell us to return Kurama Misato-san to him.

That’s all that we’ve done, do you need anything else?

No, that’s enough. Thanks, Shou-neechan

I thanked Shou-neechan.

You all kept on making so much noise since coming here, but.

I looked at Kenmochi once again.

You never asked about how Misato-san is doing, have you?

what do you mean?

Kenmochi’s startled.

That means, you. You don’t love Kurama Misato at all. You’re only interested in your corporate success

If he’s worried about the well-being of the Kurama sisters, then he shouldn’t have come here with that domineering attitude.

Before you complained about the nobility and Kouzuki house, you should’ve thought about the girls instead

Chapter 999. Noon Sunshine Power of the State

wait a second. What the hell did you say? Like, killing us.

Kenmochi Yuugo says while sweat floats in his forehead.

i don’t believe you? Such threats won’t work on me! Besides, this is weird! Pressuring the operating company of our accounts, deletion, and cutting off our lines, those are all crimes!

Of course, we know that from the start

I speak in a low tone.

Don’t fuck with me! There are things in this society where you can’t do it! You don’t even understand that, huh?

that’s right! You need to follow the rules of society! Common sense!

The lawyer also shouts at me.

Huh, uhm, seriously, what’s going to happen to us?

Kobayakawa’s confused.

For now, I’m sealing off your mouth. If you return home now, you’ll only become an inconvenience to us, right?

Just as they said earlier, they can have their telecommunication cut off but they can just go to an internet cafe and try to expose our crimes.

No, they will go to the police first.

They will gather reporters from various internet sites.

Try to cool down your anger. Do you even know what’s going on?

Yoshikawa, a retired police officer glares at me.

Japan is a constitutional state! No matter how wealthy and powerful Kouzuki house maybe, they have a line they cannot cross

The room quiets down.

Are you saying that you’re crossing that line?

I.

If that line exists, then I already crossed it so many times

I shot Cesario Viola to death.

I helped out in the premeditated murder of Shirasaka Sousuke as a member of the Black Forest.

I never reported any of the deaths I’ve seen before me to the police.

Even the shoot-out in the Kansai this morning, I used the Miko power to make them do that.

Because of that, Rie and Eri’s parents, and Tendou Sadao’s group all died together with their boss.

I raped a lot of girls, starting from Yukino.

Furthermore, I turned a few of the girls into my personal sex slave.

I’m definitely a criminal

I live my life understanding that.

I mean, the line you cannot cross doesn’t exist in the real world

I think.

What are you talking about? There are rules in society, law!

Kenmochi shouts, but.

Who created those rules? Why do you need to follow the law?

I asked looking straight at Kenmochi.

isn’t that obvious? If you’re living in this country, then you have to follow the rules of the country! Follow the law! Isn’t that obvious?

Oh, Kenmochi-san, your goal is to use methods that the law barely allows, right?

Right, this guy’s reason is.

As long as it’s not illegal, anything goes

Therefore, he brought a lawyer, a former police officer, and an internet journalist

He brought them to the Kouzuki mansion.

It’s all to threaten us while barely reaching threats.

Isn’t that obvious? There are rules. That’s why it’s natural to push until the very limit of that rule!

Kenmochi said.

I see. If I had a company on the surface world where it needs to follow the rules, then I won’t be a match against Kenmochi-san

If it’s on the surface.

An idiot like me would just die in a blink of an eye.

Not even understanding what are the rules that surround me.

But you see, I’m a man from the other side, where the rules don’t matter

I laughed at the four adults.

I don’t participate in the game with your rules. No, I won’t even participate in the game itself. All I do is crush the barrier right in front of me

Indeed. Kenmochi-san, coming from the conversation earlier, you think that everything is a game, don’t you? That’s why you are so fussed about winning

Nagisa smiles.

And this time, your game’s purpose is to make the Kouzuki hows bow their head to you. And, once you accomplish your goal, you will use that as a seed for next time, trying to coax the Kouzuki house all the time, don’t you? Although, it’s more of trying to make Kouzuki house to work for the convenience of your business or something Nagisa’s right.

If we handed over the Kurama sisters to Kenmochi.

Then, Kenmochi will continue to haunt us all the time.

You want to play games where you always win, don’t you?

Nagisa said. Kenmochi became speechless.

But, we never played the game with you from the start. You talk about killing and dying earlier but that’s not it. Our choices for you are life or death from the start. If we let you run loose, you’re going to bite us to death. We talked to you aware of that I said.

Wait a second. Just what do you think of the rules and laws of society?

that’s right? You just ignore all of it, and deciding to kill or let people live! That’s not allowed!

The lawyer complains to me.

So, who forbids us? Who decides the rules of the society as you call it? And, who will protect it?

I asked them directly.

Are you stupid? Shouldn’t you be following it?

Kenmochi replies, but.

So what?

Then.

The rules and laws of society changes within countries. What is against the law and is a social taboo in one country may well be a normal practice in another

Michi said.

No, wait, don’t all the countries have a constant rule

Kenmochi refuted.

Then, what is it? Please give us an example.

that’s.for example, isn’t it a constant rule among humanity where you can’t kill people?

Michi;

I wonder? For example, it’s not a crime when a soldier kills a soldier during the war. A police officer can shoot a criminal who owns a gun

Isn’t that a case-by-case basis?

Yes, it’s not a constant rule

Michi speaks coldly.

Most countries have abolished the death penalty but there are still countries that use it as maximum punishment. That’s not different from the act of killing people. And the person who executes the death penalty isn’t accused of the crime No, starting with the UN, various international organizations in the world are acting every day to abolish the death penalty!

The lawyer tells Michi.

The society’s moving towards the abolition of the death penalty!

Michi;

Are you sure about that? Do you think that international organization powers are that big? Does Western Europe’s ideology really spread out that much? There are still countries that kill those who have different races or religions. Even with the reason that people can’t kill others, that doesn’t make it a constant rule for humanity Err.

Moori-san, you’re going too wide with your talk, the whole world doesn’t really matter. We’re in Japan, and so, we should follow the rules of Japan! Let’s direct this to common sense!

Kenmochi told the lawyer.

you’re right. Japan is a constitutional state. It’s a country that has to follow the rules and laws of society. And that’s why your claims are weird!

The lawyer summarized.

I.

What is a country? Why do we have to follow the rules the country decided?

I ask purposely.

Hey, are you seriously an idiot?

Kenmochi.

Isn’t that obvious, it’s because you’re Japanese!

Err.

Then, the foreigners who are in Japan don’t need to follow the law?

Kenmochi’s the idiot one.

No, that’s not it, but, huh?

Then.

if you can’t follow the law, the police will arrest you!

Kobayakawa says.

Once the police catch you, you’ll be put in the trial, and in the worst case, you’ll get in prison, even when you don’t, once the society discovers that the police arrested you before, you’ll get fired from your job, get talked from behind, and receive harsh punishment from the society!

Yeah, that’s how it is with the ordinary people

Yoshikawa agrees with Kobayakawa’s opinion.

There are a lot of people who commit crimes when the police aren’t watching. They ignore the speed limit, they pee outdoors, those are crimes

Indeed. Japanese people violate their law in their everyday life

Nagisa said.

Hey, stop trying to make murder and urinating outdoors a similar degree of crime!

Kenmochi objects, but.

Oh, what’s different? Both of them are laws that say that it’s a criminal act if you do it in Japan, right? Using your logic, Japanese people had to follow that law no matter what, right?

Nagisa smiles.

In the end, the laws and the societal rules are just tools used to make the people live in peace

Michi said.

But, just because it’s a tool doesn’t mean that people like you don’t have to follow it, you don’t have the authority to ignore it

Yeah, ordinary people don’t

I replied coldly.

But you see, we can’t survive if we follow those rules. Of course, we don’t see it in the right way. We’re definitely the bad guys. We know the risks of living this way

If it’s exposed that we’ve been ignoring the rules of the society, then.

The fuss of how we can’t stay in Japan anymore will not cool off.

Even other countries will not accept us.

We will have to live similar to Kyouko-san, an international criminal.

Even so, that’s our only way to live

Why?

Kenmochi asks.

In a world where you have to follow the rules someone decided, then you’re no match to those who make it. Following the rules means getting under their control. Of course, if you’re an ordinary person, then it is easy, safe. However, we’re different I looked at Misuzu.

We live in a world where the rules decided by those who make it are no longer suiting us. That doesn’t mean that the country should make the rule for us, besides, they don’t even know the real state of our worlds The rules of the country are created for the sake of the ordinary citizen.

We’re not fit for that.

We will never be able to meet the rules of this country. Most of it is already past its deadline. I mean, the country has a lot of things they can’t handle

If we entrust this to the country, Shirasaka Sousuke will still be alive. And, he will continue to use his poisoned fangs on other women.

If we entrust Cesario Viola to this country, he would be escaping outside the country.

The Takakura sisters wouldn’t be able to escape the control of the Kansai Yakuza.

That’s why we’re working independently. If we don’t destroy the other party ourselves, they will

It’s not a game, our only choice is to take out the people we can’t coexist. It’s all for our survival

Nagisa said.

The foundation of the country is sheer power

Michi said.

Within the country’s domain, the law is valid, 10,000 yen bill has a value of 10,000 yen. It’s all the power of the state. The power of the state establishes it. If you talk of the opposite, it’s the only reason why it exists The power of the state.

The police and the court have their power to protect the law of the common people, it’s not because they have to uphold the law

Indeed. Japan is a constitutional state and so their law is strong, but countries that change anything from an order of a powerful person also exist

Torii-san mutters.

Yes, a constitutional state can protect the law for their citizens because it’s the country’s power, and in case of a man controlled state, then it’s under the powerful person’s control

That means, the police, military.if you can hold down the powers of the country, they will do as you say

Michi explained. Nagisa added.

Yes. It’s got nothing to do with the ethics and moral sense of the citizens. Naturally, in a constitutional state, the citizens can elect someone to send in on their diet as their representative, someone who listens to their opinion. If the country does something against their will, they can refuse. However, for why the citizens have to follow the rules.

It’s because it’s troublesome to get arrested and charged guilty.

Indeed, if the police don’t capture you, you wouldn’t want to pay the consumption tax next week at all

Torii-san nods.

That’s right, the state is a power

Michi speaks once again.

When it’s domestic, it’s the police force, when it’s outside the country, it’s the military force, there is a base for the direct power. And that mighty power controls the citizens, molding one country, but if they lose that power, any country will fall to ruin Kenmochi-san, you are just a piece of the group that protects the power of that country

Nagisa said.

All you do is follow the rules. You make success in business by doing everything that is not in the rules, barely going against it, don’t you? I think that it’s amazing. But, you’re not deviating from the rules, which means that you follow the rules defined by the country. That’s not adventurous at all. All you do is protect the bigger power Kenmochi Yuugo’s dumbfounded.

what the heck? If you’re not going to follow the law, then you’re just the same as businesses that exploit their employees!

Then.

We’re not the same as them. We’re taking that much risk and so the pay is high. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be a job

Nagisa’s right. The prostitutes participating in the Black Forest Brothel Minaho-neesan’s managing receive a huge sum as a reward.

It’s all so they could start their own business after their retirement.

Even Kouzuki SS has one of the highest pay and benefits for its employees.

Shou-neechan’s voice comes from the ceiling speaker.

If not, you can’t gather talented people. Loyal people too

You need to give favorable pay if you want to gather good people.

I.

In the end, we show respect to the power that the country has. Since we don’t want to leave Japan, we want to follow the laws of Japan and the rules of society as much as possible. We never do anything that would cause a fuss in public. But.

I looked at Kenmochi and his group.

We’re going to do everything for our survival. No matter how cruel it is

What do you intend to do with us?

Kenmochi speaks worriedly.

Wait a second! i have a family!

The lawyer screams.

Yeah, I also have my family. They’re precious to me!

That’s right, you get it, don’t you? If I die now, my family will be sad

Well we do, but I won’t put my family in danger just so your family doesn’t get sad

That’s right, it’s a life-andeath problem.

Wait a second, are you serious about killing them off?

Torii-san looked at me with a surprised face.

What else can we do? If we just let them go, they will surely expose us

All you have to do is make them promise that they’ll never tell anyone about this!

No, they will. I know that

Indeed, the personality of a person doesn’t change that quickly, I don’t think that Kenmochi-san can fix his talkative nature for the rest of his life

Nagisa smiles.

kenmochi-san, l-let’s escape while we have time

Kobayakawa says in a panic.

Are you stupid? Do you not know how many bodyguards they have outside the room?

Then, let’s take the children as hostages. We have the young lady of the Kouzuki house in here!

Are you stupid! That’s a crime!

No, shouldn’t we prioritize our safety first and head to a safe location?

Moori said.

It can’t be helped. If the other side is going with their threats, we have to become pushy when dealing with them!

The former police officer says.

Okay, let’s go capture the Kouzuki house’s daughter first!

As soon as Kenmochi says that.

Haa!

Michi’s Qi overpowers the four men.

Hii?

Kenmochi lost his strength and sits down.

Okay, I have the latest news

Shou-neechan speaks brightly from the ceiling.

Kenmochi Yuugo-san’s father contacted us, saying that he’s cutting off his son

Huh?

Of course. It’s never good for business to turn Kouzuki house and other nobility into enemies

Yeah, Kenmochi Yuugo’s father is doing a solid business apart from his son.

We also have gathered evidence where Kenmochi Yuugo-san uses the foreign investment fund to make the Kurama house fall. It says that you’re the man who made the plan of gathering foreign investor funds, demolish the Kurama Kaku, and construct a new high-rise hotel instead The foreign investor has withdrawn while the construction is on the way and that put the Kurama house in a predicament.

Then, Kenmochi, Misato-san’s fiance, will offer their funds.

His plan is a complete takeover of the Kurama house.

Since it’s all the foreign investor through you, you’re not directly involved, and so, Japan’s law cannot pass judgment on you. But, the nobility of Japan cannot forgive you. Everyone knows the truth The Kurama Kaku is a precious place for the nobility.

And that Kenmochi reeled the head of the Kurama house and demolished the building.

Now that he’s an enemy of the nobility, Kenmochi’s father had to abandon his son to protect his company.

Well then, I think it’s my turn now

Luna speaks to me.

What do we do with these people, Nii-san?

Let’s see

I looked at the four men.

I did say that I’m going to kill you four but.

The four looked at me startled.

I’m not going as far as taking away your life, but.

I.

I’m going to erase all your memories of this conversation and socially murder you

Chapter 1000. Noon Sunshine Seldom Illegal

Well then, I’ll leave them to you

Shou-neechan came here and hands over Kenmochi and his group to the uniform guards of Kouzuki SS.

Kenmochi and his group are making a dumbfounded face.

Welcome back, this way

They take the four men away.

Far from the conversation, they’ll forget that they even came to the Kouzuki mansion

I told Shou-neechan.

Nagisa and Michi are holding Luna who feels a bit exhausted after using her Miko power.

Everything about the Kurama house will become hazy too

They won’t even remember where the Kurama sisters are taken.

Also, when the four of them hear the word Kouzuki house, their head becomes blank and fill itself with The most delicious food I’ve eaten in my life was curry rice

Like, what’s the smell and taste, where they ate it, what kind of plate they had.

It’s carved in their minds that they will endlessly talk about curry rice no matter what others ask them.

Michi said that if we use a method of activation using a keyword lessens the risk of their mind collapsing.

Why curry rice?

Shou-neechan asks.

Well, we had Hayashi rice earlier this noon

It has no special reason.

I just thought that it would be easier to imagine curry rice instead of Hayashi rice as the most delicious food

Anyway, even if the police or the people in their company ask them about the Kouzuki house, they will only talk about curry rice.

He leaves the Kouzuki mansion’s gates with his car and is ordered to come back to Shibuya

I said.

Kenmochi Yuugo will get in the scramble section of Shibuya and get naked, and the other three will join him in a sports festival cavalry battle. Then, they will run around in front of the Shibuya station until the police capture them Kenmochi will be the only one naked.

His social life will be annihilated.

I thought that we shouldn’t go that far from the other three.

they will get arrested for doing the same crime as the naked Kenmochi, but.

Also, I also gave them an instruction to shout I’m the naked King! Cure Frontale! Ignorants, do you feel amazed? Paparapa! while running around naked.

Luna told Shou-neechan.

Nei-oneesama may come up with something more interesting but that’s my limit

No, I think that you got it right

Nagisa says while patting Luna’s back.

My suggestion was to have him say My naked body is a better better better better medicine case but Master rejected it.

Michi, I don’t understand your tastes.

Well, even if the media doesn’t make news of it, nearly everyone has a phone with a camera. If a naked man shows up in Shibuya, it will surely be uploaded over the internet

Shou-neechan’s right.

Kenmochi, the IT company president, will lose everything because of the internet.

Was that for the better?

Misuzu speaks to me with a gloomy face.

I feel like I let Danna-sama, Nagisa-oneesama, Michi, and Luna-chan take care of everything

Then, she looked at Torii-san.

Mariko-san too, thank you for your efforts

No, I didn’t do anything

Torii-san seems somewhat gloomy too, what’s wrong?

It’s okay. We had times like that but we can’t do everything on our own after all

That’s right. In this situation, Misuzu-sama only needed to give a greeting from the start, and leave the rest to him and Nagisa-san

Shou-neechan said.

If Misuzu-sama talks in that situation, they will regard it as an official statement from the Kouzuki house

When Nagisa and I talk, it’s only our opinion, and so it’s our responsibility.

But if it’s Misuzu.

They are trying to get a quite from Misuzu-sama to gain an advantage. It was the right choice to stay quiet

That’s right. From now on, you just leave this stuff to us

Shou-neechan and I tell Misuzu.

Everyone’s family, and so we should team up in battles

With the members this time.

Without Nagisa, we can have Katsuko-nee or Minaho-neesan as the constraint.

We can have Edie or Haiji substitute for the guard role.

As for the shrine maidens, our trump cards, we have Tsukiko, Yomi, and Luna, and soon, Koyomi-chan’s also joining us.

We can pick the person with the best chemistry with the people we have at the moment.

However.

Misuzu, I’m going to ask you to be the frontman of the Kouzuki house.

I said.

It’s better if we don’t let Ruriko do any of these jobs

Danna-sama?

You remember what Jii-chan mentioned earlier? Agnes is a flower, and so she shouldn’t do anything outside the surface

On the other hand, we can have Eri and Rie take on that business with no worries.

That applies to Ruriko too. She’s a flower. Therefore, I don’t want her to come to dangerous places like this

This kind of pressure will only wilt Ruriko’s flower-like beauty.

Therefore, Misuzu and I will have to be the one facing the other party when it comes to fights against the Kouzuki house, like today

Misuzu stares at me.

I think that Misuzu’s beauty will overcome this kind of fight with dignity. You’re a different flower from Ruriko, and it’s still beautiful. I should say that it’s Misuzu’s charm

That’s right, it was cool do see Mizusu-chan take the lead with such beautiful form

Nagisa said.

Ruriko-chan looks too frail, and so they will come a bit more optimistic. If it’s Misuzu-chan, people like them will come with an antagonistic approach

Does it mean that my presence wasn’t a waste?

Isn’t that obvious? Misuzu, you were the boss in that situation

I smiled.

It helped that you stood strong, Misuzu

Danna-sama!

Misuzu hugs me.

Everyone’s relying on you

Yes!

Torii-san looked at us with a dark face as I embrace Misuzu.

I watched it. That was a fascinating show

As soon as we returned to the room earlier.

Jii-chan’s waiting for us.

Huh?

Agnes, Koyomi-chan, Haiji, and Mana are no longer playing in the room.

Eri and Rie are still here.

Ruriko and Yoshiko-san too.

Then, Edie, Nei, Kurama Misato-san, Arisu-san, and Mizushima Karen-san are all here.

Oh, I called them over. I had everyone watch your negotiations. Also, I’m sorry to ask but.

Jii-chan looked at Luna.

It’s better if I’m not here, is it?

It’s not like they hate you, however, after seeing the video, they feel uneasy

If they saw our discussion with Kenmochi Yuugo, then.

They saw Luna use her power to alter Kenmochi’s mind.

For us, that unique power is nothing but a threat

Jii-chan said.

I see. So that’s why Yomi’s not here either.

Tsukiko is with Nei and they haven’t come back from the old training building yet but.

Luna-chan seems to be a bit tired, I’ll take her

Nagisa said.

Wait, Nagisa’s pregnant. I’ll follow you

Edie said. Then she carried Luna in her arms.

Besides, I don’t really care about the nobility

Jii-chan, Misuzu, Ruriko, Yoshiko-san from the Kouzuki house.

The Kurama sisters and Mizushima Karen-san.

She’s not from the nobility but Torii-san is still a young lady.

Then Michi, she’s Misuzu’s bodyguard and she goes to the same school as the young ladies.

They’re all people who make contact with the nobility.

Oh, I don’t know how you’ll place that girl in here so I had her leave

Jii-chan’s talking about Haiji, I guess?

Haiji was Torii-san’s bodyguard, she’s attending the same school.

However, it’s not decided what she wants to do henceforward.

Currently, I think that she should stay with the younger girls

Jii-chan’s right.

It’s better if Haiji gets along with the younger girls sooner.

However.

Why are Eri and Rie here?

The twins have nothing to do with the young ladies or their school, right?

Because I find it interesting

Jii-chan smiles.

Well, I just thought that we should let these girls, who grew up in a poor environment, listen to our conversation. That’s why I had them stay

Let Rie and Eri watch our talk?

Then, I’m going now

Leave Luna to us

Nii-san, see you later

Nagisa, Edie, and Luna left the room.

Then, I will head to a separate room

Shou-neechan saluted and left the room.

Let’s reconfirm.

The people in this room are;

Jii-chan, Eri and Rie on the front.

The right side has the Kurama sisters.

On left is Ruriko and Yoshiko-san.

Then, on my side is Misuzu, Torii-san, and Michi.

Oh, sit down, we can’t talk if you stay there

Jii-chan said, then we sit down on the open seats.

The way you dealt with them was admirable

Jii-chan says while laughing but.

That’s not true. More than half of it is Shou-neechan’s feat

Shou-neechan taught me to expose Kenmochi’s plans.

No, all she did was provide information. You’re the one who used it and dealt with them

That’s right, Onii-san, that was cool! The grim old men were so afraid of you!

That’s right! Onii-san, it was cool!

It made me shiver that I got wet

Me too, Onii-san

Err.

Is it really okay to let the twins stay?

Oh, Torii Mariko-kun, what’s wrong? You seem down

Jii-chan called Torii-san.

Answer me honestly. What did you think of his actions?

Torii-san.

I’m surprised. And I’m scared

Scared?

Kuromori-sama has no hesitation when it comes to violating the law

Can’t be helped

I don’t think that it really matters with those creepy men

Rie and Eri said.

So are you saying that he’s wrong in the way he dealt with them?

No, I think that Kuromori-sama’s judgment is the right one. Also, if the Kuromori house has such power, then it’s no mistake to use that power to the fullest when they can just change the minds of people like them Then, what do you fear?

Jii-chan asks.

I’m scared of Kuromori-sama because he uses it calmly just because he has it

She’s scared of me?

That’s not true, right, Rie-chan? We’re happy to have such a reliable Onii-san

That’s right. It’s great to know that he’s strong, he’s someone we’re serving for the rest of our lives after all

The twins said.

I’m scared. Kuromori-sama shows no hesitation in altering one’s fate

Yeah, Kenmochi Yuugo’s going to commit social suicide because of me.

The lawyer, former police officer, and internet journalist will not have a good end either.

Doing a mock cavalry battle in the Shibuya streets while naked will bear some harsh punishments from the society.

I see. I don’t hesitate to change other people’s fate too

Jii-chan said.

I changed so many fates of people so far. That’s what it means to do business. For better or worse, you’ll intervene with other people’s fate. Not just with the companies I manage, but also the subcontract and affiliated companies, and the moving companies that deliver my products. Even retail shops, if I make a wrong judgment, then it will cause serious impacts. That includes rival companies. Many companies fall to ruin as consequences of my company’s achievements. However, I can’t do business if I think of them. Someone’s fate will inevitably change each time I approve of something Promotion, demotion, or even unemployment, or maybe another company hires them, it’s huge turning points in human lives.

Someone’s life will change each time Jii-chan gives instructions.

Besides, my life changes because of other people too. He changed some of my recent habits. Half a year ago, I couldn’t imagine having such cute girls around an old man like me.

Jii-chan looked at Rie and Eri.

Please wait. What Kouzuki-sama is talking about is a common opinion. What I fear is that Kuromori-sama changes other people’s fate, even if it means committing crimes

Torii-san said.

What is a crime?

Jii-chan smiles.

Earlier, when the men had their phone connection cut off, their company communication line cut down, and all the computerelated service rendered useless were all just coincidences. It just happened that their misfortunes came at the same time Their blog and SNS accounts deleted.

Their company’s power cut off.

It’s a coincidence. This kind of phenomenon isn’t someone’s intention. Therefore, this will not be regarded as a crime, and no police will investigate

Isn’t it all the power that Kouzuki house have? But still, making it real is a crime. It’s an illegal act!

Torii-san shouts.

No. It’s no illegal act. If the police don’t catch you, then it’s no crime, is it?

Jii-chan said.

That also applies to the mysterious power of the Takakura girls. The law doesn’t acknowledge the existence of their mind powers. Therefore, they can use their power, and nobody can punish them for doing such acts! That includes killing people. Where is the lethal weapon? Who can establish proof of the crime?

That’s just sophistry! If you harm someone, it’s a crime! No matter what reason you have!

Wrong

Jii-chan speaks clearly.

Torii Mariko-kun, you seem to be misunderstanding something. What he’s done is not an illegal act in Japan’s penal code. All he did is an act that contradicts your sense of justice

Torii-san’s sense of justice?

Or maybe, it’s your ethics, moral values

Jii-chan said. Torii-san listens with an earnest look.

Recently, the company compliance in Japan is getting troublesome. They no longer simply follow the law but they also focus too much on business ethics and morals. If any problem happens, even if it’s not legally a problem, their moral obligation forces them to go all out with compensation That’s inevitable. Since the customers buy the products.

Torii-san said.

Yes, that’s good in the surface world. You need to do anything to make sure that you don’t harm the trust of your customers, and in the internet age, a single mistake becomes public immediately. You need to be careful to follow the law, corporate ethics, and morals for 120% or your company will not stay Jii-chan said.

However, can you seek the same compliance on the other side? No, for the people of the surface, making contact with the people on the other side is a violation of compliance but, they will still come no matter how much you refuse them. Then, most of the time, the police are neutral with civil affairs, and they’re late all the time. Putting the police aside, government officials are no different And so, it was Kuromori-sama?

Torii-san asks.

Yes. He immediately saw after meeting that Kenmochi man that it’s useless to talk to him and so he cut him off. You fear that he has no hesitation but I see it as reliable. The result of hesitation even though he saw through everything means that he will involve the other people around and will cause misfortune to many people. We need that instant decision of his Jii-chan looked at Misuzu, Ruriko, and Yoshiko-san.

So it was a test on how I would face Kenmochi?

I asked. Jii-chan.

What are you talking about? Every day is a test for you. I’m always checking all of your actions

Now that he mentioned it.

Also, Torii Mariko-kun. Your big misunderstanding is that you feel fear. You’re envious of him. Jealous

me? no!

Torii-san panics.

Earlier, your conversation with him was interesting. He’s right, the country is just a container for people. Japan has a long tradition and history. However, just because they are citizens of Japan doesn’t mean that they’re equal in the container, called Japan Jii-chan said.

The modern country has the responsibility of protecting its citizens. So, for example, a Japanese citizen is captured in a distant foreign country by a local rebel group, Japan must negotiate and rescue the captured Japanese. No, for example, if a Japanese man is drowning alone in the middle of the pacific ocean, as long as that man is a Japanese Citizen, then Japan must save that man Yeah.

However, their duty is different from their ability to save the person without fail. Nobody will notice the man drowning in the middle of the ocean and he will die from drowning. Japan must save that man but actually saving the person is a different story Torii-san listens silently.

Then, the police and fire department duty is to protect the Japanese citizens and their assets. However, the police are mostly dispatched when a crime occurs. The fire department is also dispatched to extinguish the fire. Of course, the police reduces crimes and the fire department continue their campaign of fire prevention. Even so, they must protect the citizens and their assets, but they can’t keep it all safe. They never can Criminals will cause damage no matter what.

If there’s fire, then houses and furniture will burn down.

Even the public service in the country can’t do their work perfectly. Of course, the country is also late when it comes to sending help when there’s a problem. The country isn’t a perfect unit. No, as the reality changes, the country will always aim to become perfect but never will The law will have some loopholes.

Public services won’t always be attentive.

It will always be insufficient, and problems will always arise.

Therefore, one has to fill up what the country lacks

Jii-chan said.

If you think that you can’t call for the police’s help, then you’ll hire your own security, put on security cameras, and install alarms. Or maybe, you’ll hire bodyguards. Other services exist too. If the government can’t do it, a civilian service will start. Of course, it’ll cost you, but it’s inevitable. The country can’t do everything I understand that.

Torii-san said.

I also think that the country can’t do anything and that the people who complain yet do nothing are in the wrong

Yes, people like them, entrust everything to the country when all the people managing the country are idiots and think that they can do everything

Jii-chan said.

Sure, I don’t think that everything the country does is futile. However, even if you take out the futility, that doesn’t mean that you can take them all out. Humanity is a collective. To create a nation that will satisfy those who only complain about it, all the citizens will have to become selfless and an upright and cleanhanded superman Yeah.

Well then, let’s return to the topic

Jii-chan looked at Torii-san.

Is it really important to have people obey the laws of the country?

That’s.

Of course, I acknowledge and respect the country itself. I have no intention of creating a disturbance in the country, it’s not the case that I want to destroy the common national law. I love this country after all Torii-san.

But, even so, I think that one has to follow the law

Then.

Do you know about Seldom Illegal?

Seldom Illegal?

Torii-san asks.

A subordinate of mine took a driver’s license in Los Angeles. That person taught me about it. It’s something written in their driving school textbook. A page where they say what’s illegal and what’s not while driving Jii-chan smiled.

It was interesting. I wonder if the Americans are really that direct. Sometimes illegal, in cases where the policeman doesn’t consider it a violation of the law, they’ll let it go. It’s a complex problem, but since it’s a driving school, they can’t decide whether it’s illegal or not That’s in America. But in Japan, they should have decided which is illegal and which is not

Torii-san said.

In nationality, or should I say, it’s true in the Japanese nature. But, in truth, Japan also has a lot of it. If you are strict with the law and certain with what’s illegal or not, you’ll live a suffocating life, and so they can’t decide, or sometimes, they overlook it Jii-chan said.

Naturally, it’s better if you follow the law. However, most cases are something which you can’t do anything even if you follow it

Saying that; Jii-chan looked at the Kurama sisters.

Don’t you think so? You saw the data I presented, haven’t you? It was Kenmochi who instigated your father to destroy the Kurama Kaku and start up a new hotel. He showed the foreign investor funds and put the Kurama house in a financial dilemma. After that, they’ll save the Kurama house like a white knight, Kenmochi will give the funds himself, and he will take control of the hotel and the Kurama house itself Kurama Misato-san.

I didn’t believe at first but I’ve seen Kenmochi-sama’s conversation with Misuzu-sama

Misato-san’s making a gloomy face.

I didn’t notice it at all

Then, Misato-san cries again.

Misato-oneesama!

Arisu-san embraces her sister.

Losing that precious Kurama Kaku, we can never face our ancestors

Then, Jii-chan

Kurama Kaku is a valuable building for us the nobility as well

I’m very sorry, Kouzuki-sama

I wonder what the building is to you? Did you love the Kurama Kaku?

Isn’t that obvious? We love it too!

Arisu-san speaks with a strong will.

Misato-oneesama and I love the Kurama Kaku! After all, we’re the daughters of the Kurama house!

Arisu

But, to make the marriage talks of Onee-sama and Kenmochi house a success.

Arisu.I’m sorry!

It’s not Onee-sama’s fault! Father was deceived by that man and held such weird ambitions!

The father of the Kurama sisters is the young head of the Kurama house.

He carelessly joined Kenmochi’s dream plan of constructing a modern hotel instead of staying with the old, keeping the Kurama Kaku safe.

I see, the Kurama Kaku is also precious to you

Jii-chan smiles.

Well then, I’ve done one illegal act. Of course, nobody noticed it and so it’s not illegal yet

what?

Did you know that if you demolish an old building smoothly, you can reconstruct it elsewhere?

That’s.

The construction contractors you hired to take down the Kurama Kaku are all my people. I had specialists in antique buildings deconstruct the building while making sure that it’s not seen outside. Your father didn’t notice it at all The Kurama sisters are taken aback.

And then, the scrap wood from the demolished Kurama Kaku is now in my company’s possession. While at it, I also secured the trees and shrubs, in the garden. The buildings and gardens of the Kurama Kaku were fully documented in the pre-construction survey, so all that remains is to rebuild the Kurama Kaku in my land Jii-chan’s going to reconstruct the Kurama Kaku?

Is that illegal? All I did was buy the scrap wood and assemble it. Of course, it would be a breach of contract since they told your father that the building is deconstructed and yet it was actually preserved. It’s an illegal act and yet, there is no proof that I had connections with the contractors that took the building down Jii-chan said.

It would be against ethics and morals. Concerning the results, the historical building, Kurama Kaku, has become mine. However, my method of taking it means that the Kurama house is gone forever

Yeah.

The right act doesn’t go smoothly in this world.

That means that the Kurama Kaku is not lost?

Kurama Misato-san’s face turned bright.

Not yet. It’s still deconstructed. I am looking for a suitable place to rebuild that splendid building. To be honest, the current Kurama house’s land is filled with tall buildings, and so it lost its beauty from before. It’s not suitable to rebuild it there after all this. They already dug down to make sure that the high-rise hotel is strong, haven’t they?

The hotel is stopped mid-construction.

It’s too late for them to rebuild the Kurama Kaku there.

However, if Kouzuki-sama has it, then I.

Misato-san cries happily.

Well, I wonder about that?

Jii-chan makes a straight face.

Isn’t the Kurama Kaku the treasure of the Kurama house? Do you not feel frustrated as the daughter of the Kurama house to find out that the Kouzuki house took away the Kurama Kaku?

Then, Arisu-san.

we are! It’s obvious that we’re frustrated!

I see. Then, buy it back from me

Jii-chan said.

buy it back?

That’s right. I bought the scrap wood of the Kurama Kaku. It’s not free to reconstruct a new Kurama Kaku. All of it costs money!

Arisu-san;

how much does it take to buy back the Kurama Kaku?

Let’s see. No, it’s not about the amount. Even if I sell it back to you, with the current Kurama house, they’re likely to destroy it again

That won’t happen! This time, Misato-oneesama and I will protect the Kurama Kaku!

Arisu-san speaks clearly.

I don’t trust just words. Anyone can speak like that out of the momentum. I want to see your resolve

Resolve.

My conditions for transferring the Kurama Kaku is for Kurama Misato-kun to work as a prostitute for five years, and for Arisu-kun to become a sex slave. Those are the two conditions

Jii-chan?

To tell you the truth, I know that Kurama house has no money to buy back the Kurama Kaku, your father is already suffering from dealing with the half-constructed hotel, hasn’t he?

That’s right, Kurama house has troubles in money since the foreign investors ran away from them.

They couldn’t possibly pay up for the expense of rebuilding the Kurama Kaku.

I won’t trust you unless you use your bodies as the sacrifice. If you can’t do that, then I will not hand over the Kurama Kaku

Then, Arisu-san!

I understand! If I have to become a slave then I’ll become one! I’m offering this body of mine!
