Pure

Besides.I myself can’t endure the reality that I have afianceother than this one

Misuzu looks at me.

I want to live with this gentleman

Nei-san and Margo-san’s looking at us amusingly.

Megu and Mana have a slightly complicated face. Yukino, her mouth is opened wide. I.what kind of face I’m making right now?

I might be disowned by grandfather after this. I might be banished from Kouzuki house today. But still, I don’t mind. I know that even if I became just my body alone, I know that this gentleman will accept me.

Misuzu’s prepared for it.

If she’s disowned by Kouzuki house.she can’t stay in her home anymore. She can’t go to school either. Even the dance would be impossible. Misuzu would lose everything. But still.she said that she wants to be with me.

I’m moved!

Ruriko-san said.

What a wonderful thing it is.right, Yoshiko!

But, Yoshiko-san.

Are you really sure about that.Misuzu-sama?

She’s shocked in the situation where Misuzu might be expelled from Kouzuki house.

.Kuromori-sama too, are you okay even if Misuzu-sama leaves Kouzuki house?

Oh.this person.

She thinks that I knew Misuzu was a member of Kouzuki house and that I seduced her.

When I first met Misuzu, I didn’t knew which house she was born in at all

I poke honestly.

Even know.I don’t know Kouzuki house well. I think that’s fine. I came to like Misuzu, not Kouzuki house

Misuzu smiled at me.

Danna-sama.your hairstyle today is wonderful!

Oh, this?I thought that Misuzu would like it so I had Katsuko-nee fix it .As I thought

Misuzu leans her body to me.

.I love you, Danna-sama

.Misuzu.

Misuzu turned towards Margo-san, Nei-san, Megu and Mana.

I’ll ask everyone too. If ever I were to be expelled from Kouzuki house.will you allow Misuzu to live by Danna-sama’s side?

Misuzu asks looking at each and every eyes.

I don’t mind it at all! It’s fun to have thefamilyincrease!

Nei-san took the lead.

I am in that standpoint after all. If Misuzu would join in, I would be pleased to welcome you

Megu said.

When you talk about that, Mana’s the same too. Mana only has Onii-chan as her place to go after all. I’m completely okay

Mana answers.

I don’t know about Minaho’s opinion but.as an individual, I welcome you. I like Misuzu’s personality and talent much more than her family. If you go to his side, then of course, you’d be helping out in ourjobright?

Margo-san asks.

Yes, of course!

Misuzu answered with a smile.

Uhm.Misuzu-sama

Michi speaks up shyly.

Whatever the situation it may be.I will be escorting Misuzu-sama for the rest of my life. I will accompany you everywhere!

If Misuzu is disowned by KouzukiKakka

Misuzu and Michi would become members ofKuromori? the smart and sociable Misuzu. Michi who has a special fighting ability. It would be great if the two of them becomes formal members, .But. KouzukiKakkaisn’t that generous to allow that. She might confine Misuzu and separate her from me. No, he might just kill me. For KouzukiKakka, the life of a man like me is just worthless. Is it okay forKuromorito be hostile against KouzukiKakka?

You won’t ask that person?

Ruriko-san points at Yukino

.Eh, Me

Yukino’s surprised.

If I recallKiirode Kuroko-san, was it?

Yoshiko-san asks, Yukino;

.Kishima Kuroko!

No, you’re Shirasaka Yukino.

Or rather, you’re proudly calling yourself with that false name? Did she like it unexpectedly?

Right.how about we ask Kuroko-san as well?

Misuzu looks at Yukino.

Ah.I.

Yukino’s confused.

I.don’t mind it. Just do what you want.you two. Either way, you already thought what I would say!

Yes. Then, we’ll do as we like!

Misuzu answered Yukino with a smile.

Ruriko-san stares at Misuzu.

Understood, Misuzu-san.please leave the future of Kouzuki house to me

Her face is cheerful.

I am very happy. Misuzu-san who’s been holding back at everything for the sake of Kouzuki house has decided to make her happiness first. With this.I don’t have any more regrets

.Regrets?

I will live as grandfather desires. I’ll dedicate my life to Kouzuki house. As long as I can see Misuzu-san happy.I’m satisfied

.Wait

Hey.wait a moment?1

Ruriko-san.are you okay with that?

I asked instinctively.

Yes. I am a daughter born under Kouzuki house after all!

Ruriko-san replied with a smile that has no hesitation.

In the first place, I am the daughter of the eldest son of Kouzki Shigetaka, Kouzuki Shigeaki Receiving the legitimate blood, I’ve been prepared to take over the next generation Kouzuki house since I was born

That’s right.this girl’s the eldest son’s daughter.

Misuzu’s the second son’s daughter. The current head of Kouzuki house, Kouzuki ShigetakaKakka.has no other grandchildren. Ruriko-san and Misuzu are supposed to be fighting on succession. When you talk about blood, it’s orthodox that Ruriko-san would be succeeding.

Misuzu-san, you’re very beautiful, you’re abundant in talents.among the clan, I do know that there are people who say thatthey don’t know who would succeed between Misuzu-san and I I know that there are people who plan to divide the Kouzuki family into two by letting Misuzu-san and I fight on succession. Actually.they purposely whisper bad things on my ear so Misuzu-san and I would have discord.

Ruriko-san’s eyes looks sad.

I, of course .don’t believe those hearsays. I’ve known Misuzu-san from childhood very well.I admire her as a cousin

I also love you, Ruriko-san Thank you very much. But.the people who speak selfishly just keeps on increasing. The cruel rumors spread, then a lot of people on my side misunderstands. They really think that Misuzu-san is fighting with me.

.Oh, that person?

Earlier.Haruka-san has caused trouble with Misuzu-san, I think that’s the reason. I understand. Haruka-san is just loyal to me.I am very sorry

Ruriko-san bows her head.

Raise your head. Don’t mind Haruka-san. We will be dealing with her properly

Misuzu said.

.Deal with her?

Ruriko-san looks at Misuzu.

I’ve thought that Haruka-san’s not fit to be a bodyguard for a long time. That person was first recommended to be my guard but I declined it and chose Michi

Yes. Then, Haruka-san became my guard

.I see.

Kudou Haruka’s a third year in high school. Nromally, Normally, she should take care of Misuzu who’s a second year in high school. When they do that, she can guard her even at school. And yet.Misuzu rejected Kudou Haruka. Therefore, Michi who’s in third year middle school protects Misuzu who’s older. Then that would mean that originally, Michi is supposed to protect Ruriko-san who’s in the same third year middle school.

That is why Haruka-san has a grudge against me. To some extent, that is the reason why she’s treating Michi and I badly. It has nothing to do with Ruriko-san

Misuzu bows her head to Ruriko-san.

Not at all. Though she’s older, Haruka-san is still under me. I sincerely apologize for Haruka-san’s impoliteness

No, no, it’s my fault.I wasn’t able to remonstrate Haruka-san who’s the same age as me. Misuzu and Ruriko-sama didn’t do anything wrong. Yoshiko will take all of the responsibilities

Yoshiko-san joined in and the three had a tournament on lowering their heads.

But, it will be okay now. I am thinking of having Haruka-san quit her bodyguard job!

Misuzu said.

Haruka-san should better concentrate as a Karate athlete. That person’s an athlete, she doesn’t have the sensibility fit for a guard

She’ll cut her down.

That is.I think so too. Haruka-san should devote herself in Karate.

Yoshiko-san said.

Actually.even now, she takes more time in her Karate practice, she’s been neglecting to guard Ruriko-sama.

Yes, Michi-san guards me when in school

.Eh, Michi protects Ruriko-san?

Thank you for always

Ruriko-san bows her head to Michi.

That is because we’re classmates. It’s natural to protect a close classmate. Especially, Misuzu-sama didn’t give such instructions likeprotect Ruriko-sama!

Seriously, this warrior girl is bad at lying.

I see.Misuzu has sent Michi in stead of Kudou Haruka who’s busy at Karate instead of work. Michi kept guarding Ruriko-san who’s always with her in the school.

I know the best how the school feels very suffocating for people of Kouzuki.

Misuzu tells her two year younger cousin.

Yes. You need to be in a generous attitude so you won’t receiver any slander from anyone. You mustn’t be very intimate with anyone as well

If you become intimate with the successor of the Kouzuki family.others would be jealous of that person.

Therefore, Ruriko-san has to treat everyone around her equally. .She can’t have a close friend.

The only one I can trust from the bottom of my heart is only Yoshiko.

Ruriko-san smiled at Yoshiko-san, her retainer.

Kudou Haruka.Even though she’s her guard, she’s not trusted at all.

The me before is the same

Misuzu said.

However, I do not have aretainer.My father hates the Kouzuki’s old tradition.

I see.Ruriko-san’s father is the eldest son belongs to the enterprise of the Kouzuki family.

Misuzu’s father.if I recall, he’s a high rank bureaucrat in the ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. He must’ve hated the tradition of Kouzuki house descending from an old noble blood. Therefore, he refused to put aretainerfor Misuzu.

I understand. I lived together with Yoshiko since I was three. If Yoshiko-san wasn’t there for me, I would’ve been devastated by the loneliness. It must’ve been very painful for Misuzu-san.

Regardless of her father’s will.Misuzu is KouzukiKakka’sgrand daughter, she had to fight the world as a member of Kouzuki house.

Envy and slander.she has to stand up alone from the self-assertive kindness. It’s very lonely

I am fine. Grandfather helped me out during the most painful times!

Misuzu said then.she writes the wordNagisain my palm

.I see, That’s why KouzukiKakkaentrusted Misuzu to Nagisa He believed that if it’s Nagisa, she’ll heal Misuzu’s loneliness.

Then, I have a lot of people I trust from the bottom of my heart

Misuzu looks at me.

From Nagisa to me. Then.Megu, Nei-san, Margo-san, Mana. Everyone’s Misuzu’sfamily Yukino’s the only one out of place though.

Therefore.Everyone’s Misuzu’sfamily, right?

.Yes! .I envy you

Ruriko-san said.

Ruriko-san, join outfamilytoo!

Mana shouts.

.Mana, it’s impolite to speak suddenly

Megu scolds Mana.

Ah, sorry

Mana bows her head.

.I

Ruriko-san’s already a family however

I said clearly.

Danna-sama?

Ruriko-san is Misuzu’s cousin. Then, she’s family to me. Isn’t that right.Misuzu?

Misuzu looks at my face.

.Yes, Danna-sama

Then, looking at Ruriko-san.

Danna-sama is very reliable. He’s a gentleman. He’ll never betray me. Therefore.he’ll never betray Ruriko-san

.Really?

Ruriko-san looks at me.

Please trust Misuzu’s eyes for people

Misuzu smiles.

That is.I do trust him however

Ruriko-san’s puzzled

I.I’ve always thought of Ruriko-san as my sister

.Misuzu-san? Though we’re cousins.right now, Ruriko-san and I are the only daughters who carry the weight of the Kouzuki house. I’m the position where I know about your suffering and hardships the most! .Yes Please call me Misuzu-oneesan .Misuzu-oneesama2 How does it feel?

Misuzu smiled.

.Then Ruriko-san’s face softens.

It’s strange.Misuzu-san feels much more close than before

It’s Misuzu-oneesan Yes.Onee-sama Then, Danna-sama will be Ruriko-san’s brother. Is that acceptable, Danna-sama? Un.you can rely on me on anything from now on, Ruriko-san

Hearing me.Ruriko-san’s face blushed.

yes.Onii-sama!

Misuzu looks at Yoshiko-san.

Yoshiko-san.that’s how it is. I think this is better so the rumors between Ruriko and I won’t be spread anymore but.

Misuzu worries about Yoshiko-san who’s been Ruriko-san’s long time retainer.

Yes.That’s right. I think that this is good

Yoshiko-san said that but she thought for a while.

There’s no clarity in her words. It seems that she’s doubting if this is Misuzu’s plan to ensnare Ruriko.

As mentioned earlier.I will marry this man. I don’t have any ambition on Kouzuki house. AS usual.I intend to have Ruriko-san as the head of the future Kouzuki house

Misuzu.made it clear that she doesn’t have the ambition to become the owner of Kouzuki house.

I’m grateful to you who have been watching over Ruriko-san since age three. Please stay by Ruriko-san’s side for always. But.I’ve also watched over Ruriko-san since she was born. I am the older cousin of Ruriko-san. I don’t have any relative at close age other than Ruriko-san. I’ve always thought of her as my little sister. The same as me!

Yoshiko-san.

.Please forgive me for my impoliteness

She apologized for doubting Misuzu in her mint even for a moment.

Onee-sama! Misuzu-sama has become my Onee-sama! That’s wonderful! Yoshiko, don’t you think so too?

Ruriko-san smiles happily.

Yes.Ruriko-sama

Yoshiko smiled at her master.

Let’s return to our talk.it would be dangerous to leave Haruka-san as Ruriko-san’s guard. That person is a very shallow person

Misuzu said.

True.I feel like she’s growing to become arrogant

Yoshiko-san who opened up suddenly complained about Haruka-san.

Did she gain confidence after winning the inter high school championship? The media’s been doing what they want featuring he as abeautiful karate girl Today too, she brought four of her friends in Karate club sayingI made a security unit for Ruriko-sama.And yet, she’s not around Ruriko-sama at all

Those four followers are like that?

Today’s Konpeki style presentation would have a lot of celebrities coming after all.

Misuzu sighs.

Yes.she came in a suit trying to make herself look good in front of those people

So that pink pant suit was for that?

She’s really a small shot or rather, she’s childish. Misuzu speaks to Ruriko-san.

If she continues to grow like that, it’s clear that she’ll make a blunder and disgrace Ruriko-san sooner or later. We’ll have Haruka-san concentrate on Karate and retire from being Ruriko-san’s guard

However, would that obstinate one easily quit? That person boasts about being Ruriko-sama’s guard

Yoshiko-san asks in worry.

Boasting.she must be thinking that it’s astatus Nevertheless.she’s neglecting her job which is to protect her master.

It’s okay. Earlier.I made Haruka-san acknowledge to have a duel with Michi due to her impoliteness towards us

Haruka-san and Michi-san will have a duel?

Ruriko-san’s surprised.

.Yes. I will fight with Aneue

Michi answers with determined eyes.

Her hands continue folding the pamphlet properly. By the way, the only one’s working at this stage are. Michi, Megu, Nei-san and Margo-san only? Mana’s fascinated in listening to our talk. Her eyes are sparkling. She’s interested in the circumstances of the other houses. Nei-san doesn’t cut any corners. She’s a serious person to the root. Though her ears are tilted this way, she’s moving her hand properly. Megu’s a too serious of a child so she’s working silently. Even if she hear the circumstances of Kouzuki family, it’s clear for her that it’s impossible for her to do anything about it. Margo-san.she’s working while listening properly. She’s a person who can do two things at the same time. While moving her hand, her head is calmly analyzing the current situation. I’m together with Misuzu so I feel that it’s rude to Ruriko-san if I’m working on something so.sorry but I stopped my hands. Then, Yukino’s just staring on top of the desk absentmindedly. Why am I here?her face says. That feeling.well, I can understand it.

If she lost to her little sister, Michi and broke her nose.Haruka-san will stop her arrogance. She’ll notice that she’s not suited to be a guard then concentrate only the world of Karate. We intend to thoroughly corner her!

Misuzu told her cute cousin.

.Michi-san can win against Haruka-san?

Yoshiko-san’s surprised.

It’s not unreasonable. Michi and Haruka-san have their age and physique completely different. Haruka-san’s strength in Karate is also known. She has never seen Michi fight with Kudou style I guess.

Yes. Michi will win overwhelmingly

Misuzu declared.

Oh.so it’s a duel

Ruriko-san agrees.

It’ll be fine, Yoshiko. If it’s a duel, Haruka-san doesn’t have a winning chance

.Ruriko-sama? .Haruka-san came to guard me with such shoes after all

.Ruriko-san noticed it?

Today’s Haruka-san’s wearing a pumps

Ruriko-san told Misuzu.

Yes.it seems easy to take off, coming to guard with such shaggy shoes, you can only think of her as an idiot

Misuzu said in anger.

It can’t be helped.Haruka-san came here for her promotion instead of guarding me today

Ruriko-san answers.

Therefore.we’ll have her retire from being a guard

Misuzu said.Ruriko-san;

Understood. I’ll leave it all to Misuzu-oneesama!

Ruriko-san gave her approval.

With this, Michi can beat up Haruka-san fair and square.

That’s how it is.Michi, are you fine with it?

Misuzu asked.

Yes, certainly!

Michi’s hesitation disappears.

By the way.Ruriko-san?

Misuzu asks her 15 year old cousin.

Yes, what is it Misuzu-oneesama!

Ruriko-san’s completely accepted Misuzu aselder sister

Ruriko-san.do you know the wordsex?

.Misuzu?

You.what are you suddenly saying?

No.I’m very sorry. I’ve never heard of it

.Eh?

.Never heard of it

Yoshiko.do you?

Yoshiko-san.

I’m sorry.I do not have any knowledge about it

Yoshiko-san doesn’t know it too?

Yoshiko-san’s in third year high school right? No, her face looks serious. Does these girls really don’t know the wordsex?

What isSex?

Ruriko-san asks Misuzu while smiling.

1. Gozen is a person with high rank, or a nobleman

2. Lesbians

Chapter 219

Eh, Ruriko-san doesn’t know?

Mana speaks loudly.

.No wait. Mana, not good! Isn’t it something that you shouldn’t say by all means?

It’s written on the immigration card when going abroad!

.Mana?

.What?

.What is an immigration card?

I asked instinctively. 1

Onii-chan.you never travelled abroad?

.Never

.No way I would

Let’s go next time.Danna-sama!

Misuzu clings to my arm.

No.talking about it in this case.

Look, after the column of your name in the immigration card.it’s a place to mark if you’re a male or female.

Hey.Mana.

TheSEXyou’re talking about is thedistinction of sex?2

Is that so, Yoshiko?

Ruriko-san asks the girl three years older than her.

I wonder, I don’t remember. Everything is prepared by the secretary in advance when we head abroad.

You’re right. We only had to write on the places where we need to be the one’s writing after all!

.Hmm

Uhm.is your overseas travel not a family vacation?

Mana asks.

Of course, we come with out family

Ruriko-san answers.

We’re still underage so we can only travel with our father’s

.Err

.How many people go with you?

I’m scared but I’ll ask.

Let’s see.in case of a family trip, father, mother, several secretaries.also

There are 4-5 bodyguards too! Right.therefore, we go with roughly 15 people each time. Even when vacation abroad? When overseas, we have interpreters depending on the country. There’s also a tour guide accompanying us Well, it doesn’t cross over 20 people

That’s not a family trip.

My house travels overseas twice per year.it also serves as a recreation trip for the secretary and bodyguards

By definition, it’s not a family trip.

anyway.I’ve never seenSEXwritten as the distinction of sexuality.

Uhm.Ruriko-san, do you watch television?

Nei-san asks timidly.

No.not even once

Ah.as expected.

You don’t watch news either?

Nei-san asks further.

Yes.I’m supposed to not know anything about politics or social matters

Eh, why?

Ruriko-san.

I’m the symbol of Kouzuki house. If I become familiar with the society.it is likely to trouble my husband in future. I will inherit the Kouzuki house but I will not interfere with the enterprise under Kouzuki at all. I will leave the management to the specialists.that is the education I received

She’s shut from the information about the world?

Ah.But, I’m allowed when it’s within the school’s scope of study. I know how society and politics work. I’ve learned modern history in textbooks too.

She’s the type that saysI only know the theory.

You’re not reading books or novels?

Megu asks.

No, I like books. I enjoy the books in the library at house!

There’s a library in your house? Yes. All of the books I read were selected by grandfather.Yoshiko and I enjoy the book sin library in order3

Even the books.they only read what KouzukiKakkachose.

By the way.what is Ruriko-san’s most liked book?

Nei-san asks.

What Men Live Bywritten by Tolstoy

Unfortunately, I haven’t read that.

You do not read magazines or something?

Mana asks.

Yes, I try not to see such things

Uhm.how do you decide your clothes or hairstyle?

This time, Megu.

That is.Yoshiko and I have father’s stylist chose our clothing.we wear as instructed by that person

Our hair too.we leave it to the haidresser

These two doesn’t have freedom of choice.

No, it’s not only one who has no freedom so they’re not frustrated. Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san.if they’re together then they won’t feel it as odd.

Today was fun isn’t it.Yoshiko?

Ruriko-san asks her retainer.

Being able to talk to so many people .

Yes.Ruriko-sama

.eeh?

Our school always have the same faces since kindergarten after all.

Misuzu explains.

There are some new students at the time of first years in elementary and middle school but.most of them came from kindergarten

Yoshiko-san supplements

I have this personality.I’m not very detailed with the trends so the people I can talk to gradually decreases too

Well.right.

As the age of the girls rise, their conversation won’t get engaged gradually.

Are you not lonely?

Megu asks.

Lonely? I am always with Yoshiko except during class. Michi-san is in the class so I have no idea why you think I’m lonely

You’re always together? Yes, I live together with Yoshiko.oh, our bedrooms are different however Ruriko-sama and I have been sleeping on the same bed till elementary but.since middle school student’s an adult, I’m taking a rest on a different room It makes me a bit lonely however.

.Hmm

Yoshiko-san’s completely devoting her life to Ruriko-san. No, I should assume that’s normal. Since Ruriko-san’s three years old, Yoshiko-san’s 6.they’ve always been together.

Mana slept with Megu-oneechan and Onii-chan in the same bed until morning the other day

Mana suddenly said.

Are you talking about when we stayed at Tamayo-san’s love hotel? Rather than staying together until morning.didn’t we just have sex that time?

If you say that, Yo-chan and I sleep embracing each other!

Nei-san said then laughed.

.That happened too. Yukino’s sending a glance over here. Oh.when I first raped Yukino, we stayed together until morning too. Misuzu noticed my expression.

Danna-sama.please stay with Misuzu overnight too

Oh.sure Don’t say sure! Misuzu wants to monopolize Danna-sama at night! Yeah, got it

I laughed and replied.

Ah, Mana wants to stay together overnight just the two of us too!

Let’s make an even schedule

Mana and Megu said.

Right. You should give a day to Katsun and Nagisa-san too

Nei-san answered with a serious face.

But, I think it’s fun if everyone’s together at night

Mana gives her opinion.

Let’s make that day too. But.I also want a night to monopolize Yoshi-kun

Un, that’s definite! Let’s consult thesister’s associationjust in case Un, a general meeting ofSister’s association!

Megu, Mana, Misuzu, Nei-san’s excited.

It somehow looks fun isn’t it.

Ruriko-san looks at the four with a smile.

Really.what a good relationship

Yoshiko-san’s surprised at the state of the four.

It’s surprising for them to see that Misuzu who’s a member of Kouzuki house blends with the other three.

Yes, we’resisters We becamesistersby oath!

Misuzu answered.

My, is that so?then everyone’s Misuzu’sfamily, right?

Yes. Therefore.I’m not lonely anymore. Everyone’s as good as my family.no, we’re closesistersmore than family

Misuzu said with a radiant smile.

I’m very envious of you.Misuzu-san

Ruriko-san looks pleased.

Misuzu-san has a man she loves.and people she callssister!

Ruriko-san has Yoshiko-san.she’s similar to a sister

Megu said.

Please don’t be absurd. I am in a position of serving Ruriko-sama!

Yoshiko-san violently denies it.

Don’t say that.Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san, enter theSister’s associationtoo! Everyone can stay together, eat together, talk together! I’m sure it’s fun!

Nei-san speaks with a friendly smile.

Yes, that’s right! Mana thinks that’s great!

Mana’s also heating up.

.I’m grateful to hear that however

.We are

Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san looked at each other lonely.

I have the position as the daughter of Kouzuki.

.I

That doesn’t matter to us

Misuzu looks at me radiantly.

Yes.that is unrelated to us.

.Misuzu-san

Ruriko-san’s surprised

Both the position and standpoint doesn’t matter at all for us. Therefore, we’resisters We becamesisters.we have formed asister’s associationlike that!

Misuzu said.

As I’ve said earlier.Danna-sama didn’t know that I was a daughter of Kouzuki house yet.he loved Misuzu

Yeah.that doesn’t matter at all. I love Mii-chan after all! Misuzu also loves Nei-san! Mana also loves Misuzu-san! Misuzu loves Mana-chan too!

Each of them tells each other theirlove

I too love Misuzu-san

Misuzu also loves Megumi-san! Megu-chan, I love youu! Let me give you a hug! I also love Nei-san! Megu-oneechan’s always so kind.Mana’s thankful! I love you! Me too, I love you Mana! I love you very much! Maru-chan, I love you a lot! I also love you Nei! Margo-san’s so cool! Mana loves you! Mana-chan, you’re cute! Ufufu.Danna-sama, I love you! Ah, Mii-chan, you sly! I also love Yo-chan! yoshi-kun.i love you okay Onii-chan, Onii-chan, Onii-chan.I love youu ! Yoshida-kun, I love you!

Seriously.thesesisters

I also love you all. Margo-san.I love you, Misuzu.Nei-san, I love you. Megu.I love you too. Mana.I love you a lot

I tell each and everyone of them

.Then.

.Horahorahora

Nei-san looks at Yukino.

Kuroko-chan.what’s wrong?

Yukino’s.startled.

She resumed her pamphlet work.

No, who cares about that how about you say your current feelings?

Nei-san said.Yukino.

.hate

Her hands are trembling.

There’s no way I’d love that man. I hate him

You hate him so much you love him?

Hearing that, Yukino’s enraged!

I hate him! I hate, hate hate, really hate him!

Therefore.I

I liked you.from the first time we’ve met!

Yukino looks at me.

i.I hate you.

Yukino’s fidgeting.

Mufufu, Ruriko-san, please remember this.this is what they call a Tsundere!

Nei-san says something strange again.

.Tsundere? What language is that?

It’s italian

.nei-san

It’s when they like the other party so much that they’d say the oppositehate.it’s taken from the name of the ancient roman philosopher Tsundere Anus!

Is that so?That’s very knowledgeable. Right, Yoshiko? Yes.it’s my first time knowing it too

.Hmm

They have never met an innocent mischievous girl like Nei-san. They’re superboxed ladiesafter all

it’s not.I really hate that guy! I hate him so much!

Yukino shouts.

.She’s a tsundere isn’t she?

Ruriko-san’s interested at Yukino.

Yes, a tsundere!

Nei-san laughs.

Really.everyone seems to love each other.

Yoshiko-san looks at us then said.

My.I also love Yoshiko-san you know?

Misuzu smiles.

Of course.Ruriko-san too

Ruriko-san’s cheeks turned red.

I also love Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san

Nei-san rushes in.

I also love you two. Ruriko-san, Yoshiko-san. Will you be friends with me?

Megu smiles.

Mana also likes you two! Ruriko-san! Yoshiko-san! Mana’s just 14 years old and in second year middle school.please become Mana’s Onee-san!

Mana offers.

I also love you. Ruriko-san, Yoshiko-san too, I think you two are very honest

Margo-san said.

Kuroko-chan, what do you think about those two?

Nei-san turned to Yukino again.

Uee?

This time, Yukino’s confused.

Kuroko-chan, I’m asking what you think.

Nei-san asked.everyone’s gaze turned to Yukino

.they’re fine, I guess?

What’s fine, Kuroko-chan? No.these girls are rich girls and yet they’re not arrogant, they’re obedient.it feels worrying that they’re naive but.I don’t think they’re bad

.I don’t know why you’re looking above.

Even though you’re a daughter of Shirasaka family. Furthermore, how dare this woman who’s always so arrogant and troubles her surrounding say that.

I’m not asking your impressions.I’m asking if you like them or hate them!

Nei-san speaks strongly and Yukino;

There’s no way I’d hate such cute girls!

Hearing that.Ruriko-san.

Her face turned red.

thank you very much

Misuzu whispers in my ears

Danna-sama.please finish it off!

I.

Ruriko-san.Yoshiko-san!

I look at the two of them.

I love you.Ruriko-san. Yoshiko-san too, I love you!

Ruriko-san’s face flushed.

That is.is it because we’re members of Kouzuki house?

I answered laughing.

It’s because you two are lovely girls!

Both of their eyes got startled.

I love you two as much as these other girls

Misuzu.Nei-san.Megu.Mana.Margo-san.Yukino.

The same as everyone?

Ruriko-san’s surprised.

Yes.the same. Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san too

Yoshiko-san.

No.I can’t let that! I can’t allow myself to be in the equal as Ruriko-sama!

Yoshiko-san who’s always been under Ruriko seems to be resistant to the wordsame

That’s from the bottom of my heart so there’s no helping it. I like Yoshiko-san as much as Ruriko!

Ruriko-san.

Wonderful.what a fantastic thing! I’m the same as everyone!

Yes, the same! It’s my first time being told such things!

Ruriko-san’s deeply moved.

Ruriko-san.Danna-sama and us loves you two. Just as much as everyone. What about you?

Ruriko-san looks at us.

i.I love you all too! Is it okay to love?

Of course. Love more and more! We’re going to love Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san more and more too !

Misuzu said, Ruriko-san;

Aah.Misuzu-oneesama! I finally understood the meaning of the word Onee-sama! I’ll join! I’ll join everyone’ sister’s association! No, please make me asister! Yoshiko and me!

.Ruriko-sama!

Yoshiko-san looks at her master worriedly.

It’s okay. We can trust them. They’ve been opening up to us all this time!

That is right however From now on.Yoshiko will become myOnee-samatoo! I. When there are other people, I’ll be the same as before. But, if it’s just the two of us, when we’re together with the othersisters.okay?

Ruriko-san who’s been lonely being alone with Yoshiko-san.

She’s completely pleased to join in thesister’s association.

Michi.it’s a good opportunity so join in thesister’s associationtoo

Misuzu called out Michi who’s purposely left out.

No.I am Misuzu-sama’s vassal!

Michi who’s lonely being the single person left out.

She still insist that she’s a guard.

I’m telling you to become mylittle sister.this will be your last chance

Hearing that.Michi

i’ll join in.please let me join in!

The end of her speech turned strange.

With this.you no longer have a hesitation in your battle with your sister

Misuzu said.

Even if you lose your genuine sister connected by blood.the bonds ofsister’s associationis eternal. I’ll become yoursisterforever. Join in with that intention!

Yes.Misuzu-samaa!

After that.

It became fun time. Everyone begins to work on folding the pamphlets again. This time.Everyone’s talking to Ruriko-san about themselves. Especially Mana talks about the dance club in her middle school. Ruriko-san is happily listening to the stories of thelittle sister’stalk as anelder sister Then.She also listened about Megu’s athletic club interestingly. Margo-san’s talk about US.Ruriko-san also talked about travelling abroad. .Happily. .Gladly.

It’s my first time opening up my heart and talking to people other than Yoshiko!

Ruriko-san said.

Then.Misuzu lets Margo-san and Michi talk about martial arts. Both of them talk about their simple story of self-defense.

Michi-san.she’s my classmate since kindergarten yet, it’s our first time talking like this

Ruriko-san feels admiration again.

I can only talk about martial arts however.

No, it’s very interesting!

She only has the knowledge on the area set by her grandfather.

On top of that, at the super ojou-sama school.she has a very narrow relationship with friends. It feels like every of the story feels fresh and interesting. Everyone’s working together and talking happily. The work of 3500 pamphlets ended successfully.

Ruriko-sama.it’s about tie for our stage rehearsal. Let’s return to the dressing room

Yoshiko-san reports to Ruriko-san.

Right.Then, Misuzu-oneesama, everyone

Misuzu stops Ruriko-san who stood up.

Wait.shake hands with everyone. Yoshiko-san too

.Yes? You’re going to be everyone’ssisterfrom now on!

First.Misuzu shook hands with Ruriko-san.

.Best regards, Ruriko-san

Yes.Thank you very much. Misuzu-oneesama

After that, it was the order of age.

.let’s all get along, Ruriko-san

Yes.Margo-oneesama .Best regards! Love ya, Ruri-chan Uhm.I’ve thought that you’re very beautiful since the first time I met you, Nei-oneesama!

Next.is me.

.Yeah, best regards

Same here.Onii-sama Please be affectionate with me

well.

My best regards, Ruriko-san

Yes, Megumi-oneesama! Thanks! Ruriko-oneechan! Yes.Mana-san! .Best regards Same here.Michi-san

.Err

Come here, Kuroko-san!

Misuzu said then Yukino comes timidly.

My best regards.Kuroko-oneesama

best regards

The two shake hands.

We exchanged greetings and handshake with Yoshiko as well. There’s no difference from Ruriko-san. She’s completely treated as an equalsister.

Then, I will return to the dressing room first.Onee-sama

Ruriko-san bows to Misuzu.

I will be coming soon after.

Misuzu replies.

By the way.Misuzu-oneesama?

Ruriko-san asks.

Uhm.in the end, what issex?

Ah.we completely forgot about that.

Let’s have that talk later.we’ll teach it to you when everyone stays overnight

Teach her when staying overnight?

You can’t ask anyone else okay? Danna-sama and I will be teaching you and Yoshiko-san deliberately!

Misuzu told herlittle sisterwith a smile.

Yes, Onee-sama.I look forward to it!

Ruriko-san answered with an innocent smile.

1. Hahahahahahaha

2. Because you can’t write Gender without triggering anyone 3. Give her BL doujins

Chapter 220

When Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san can’t be seen anymore.

Margo-san whispers towards her chest pocket.

Coast is clear!

.Then

Minaho-neesan and Katsuko-nee comes in

I connected the phone and sent over the audio!

Minaho-neesan and Katsuko-nee removes the earphones inserted to their ear then smiled.

Both of them were listening from our conversation with Ruriko-an just now?

.Are you sure Misuzu-san? Disobeying Kouzuki-sama’s will?

Saying that, Minaho-neesan’s smiling.

I don’t mind.this is the only for us to be happy

.Us?

I can’t endure to follow grandfather’s will and just become the slave of Kouzuki house along with thefiancehe decided. I will release Ruriko-san from that fate too!

Misuzu said clearly.

Ruriko-san is very lovely and a wise young lady. Are you sure about this Misuzu-san.in worst case scenario, Yoshida-kun might be taken away!

Minaho-neesan asks and Misuzu.

That won’t happen. Danna-sama loves hiswomenequally

My.you’re quite confident aren’t you? Yes. She’s my Danna-sama after all!

Misuzu smiled at me.

No.I

Misuzu.I’m just a worthless high school student you know

Yes. I understand I’m not even good at thinking That’s the best part!1

Eh.that’s the what?

Misuzu.do you like idiots?

But, Danna-sama has the courage. You have the integrity that won’t betray us. It’s no good if it’s not Danna-sama. For me.or a girl like Ruriko-san

.Err

I don’t get it.

She’s a girl similar to Misuzu-san.intelligent, imaginative and insightful

Margo-san said.

Un. She’s not just some Ojou-sama. She knows her own position and circumstances.thought of various people’s expectations, feeling their ambition, but still trying to advance on the road she had to live in

Megu, summarized it as such.

True.she’s a much more firm child than I imagined.

You’re right.she understands the scope of what she sees. There’s also a sense of balance. She’s a good girl

The scope of what she sees?

Those girls have information completely isolated by KouzukiKakka.they’re genuinesuper-sheltered girls

True.they don’t have any sexual knowledge at all.

She seems to be ignorant of politics, economics, and social problems as well.

That’s right. They can only be seen asYoung ladies who’s ignorant of the way of the worldby the people of the world.

Minaho-neesan analyzed.

If you take time and talk to them then, Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san will gain true wisdon. Almost everyone who talk to them think thatthey are poor Ojou-sama who only has paradise in their heads

I see.

I don’t watch televisionor I don’t know about fashion Their clothes wereentrusted to the stylist and hairdresserafter all. Their conversation on girls of the same age would end.

After all, her favorite book is Tolsloy’sWhat men live by.

They can’t form a conversation with normal girls.

You can easily label them asSuper sheltered ladiesand set them up and it’s done. Nobody’s going to approach them. Since they know the horror of the Kouzuki house.everyone won’t say any bad thing!

Acknowledging that it exists then.ignoring it.

Then.Ruriko-san grew up with only Yoshiko-san as her friend.

Everyone doesn’t notice those girl’s true essence! That’s why people like Kudou Haruka underestimate them!

Nei-san said.

Kuodu Haruka is underestimating Ruriko-san?

They’re just generous Ojou-sama therefore she could do what she wanted. That’s why she came in a colorful dress like today and tries to sell her name to the celebrities by saying she’s Ruriko-san’s bodyguard

That pink suit and pumps.

The four followers were for that?

.Aneue’s not like that before. As expected, when she won the inter-high school competition and made big by the press. Until then, she’s been steadily training.and recently, she’s looking forward to going to glamorous places!

Michi said.

The person who lived in a serious simple life finally got lost her way it seems

Megu said.

Oh, she finally made herdebutat third year high school! Of course she’ll become restless

Mana who’s been longing for the world of adults while being a second year middle school girl, laughs.

It’s a miserable story. When she’s seen on television, received fan letters, she’s completely in high spirits and recently.she’s absorbed in cosmetics and clothes!

Mana.

It hurts to have your sister turn like that.Mana knows a person who has an elder sister who’s a junkie at dressing up!

No.that’s you.

I remember Yukino’s room messy with clothes and cosmetics. But. What happened to Mana’s memory of Shirasaka Maika? It didn’t become a split personality did it? I’m a bit worried.

Speaking of which.Haruka-san and others hasn’t returned yet

Megu said.

True.I feel like they’re too late.

Could it be that she’s scared of Michi-san and ran away?

Mana said meanly.

That’s not the case.Aneue thinks that I’m weaker than her.

Michi said calmly.

Also.Aneue wouldn’t think of turning her tail and running away before thesymposiumtonight

She’d sell herself to the celebrities even if she dies.

Perhaps.she’s finding a plan for her sure-win

.Plan?

Aneue doesn’t truest everyone inKuromori.

I see, she’s thinking that Margo-san would be intruding halfway

.Really, she’s underestimating a lot

Margo-san grins.

Well.I can roughly imagine what kind of moves she’ll be using

Wow.Margo-san, your smile is scaryy.

I’ll leave that to Margo.let’s return our topic to Ruriko-san.

Minaho-neesan turns back the topic.

Katsuko and I didn’t appear so Ruriko-san wasn’t cautious

.Cautious?

Yoshida-kun, Megumi, Mana-san are in the same generation so there’s no problem.Margo and Nei are personally honest so it’s pure in a sense

There’s no sense, we’re pure!

Nei-san pouts from what Minaho-neesan said.

Well, even if I’m somewhat suspicious, she only thought of me as Yoshida-kun’s bodyguard.

Margo-san’s my bodyguard?

Since you’re introduced as Misuzu’s boyfriend.Ruriko-san thinks of Yoshida-kun as a son of a good family

No.why?

My face looks like a commoner.

.The suit Yoshida-kun wearing now is really a good one

This suit is something I borrowed from Minaho-neesan’s grandfather.

Now ay.did it cost 100k yen?

When I asked, Margo-san laughs.

You can’t afford it even with 1M yen

.that much?

This fabric is a vintage one.you can’t make it anymore so the price is invaluable

Minaho-neesan lent such an expensive thing to me.

In the first place, you had similar body shape so I didn’t spend that much time but it looked well. Even I am satisfied with my own work!

Katsuko-nee looked at the suit she tailored and spoke happily.

If it’s Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san.they’ll understand the value of this suit at a glance

.Is that so?

Since those girls have first-class observation power.Katsuko and I didn’t appear.

.Minaho-neesan?

A woman who have fallen to prostitution, even once will inevitably have a dark shadow with them The people who understands, will

.Right

Margo-san and Nei-san.even if they’re in underground work, they’re not prostitutes. But, Minaho-san and Katsuko-nee.

It would be strange for prostitutes to be together with Misuzu-san don’t you think? When I come close and Ruriko-san turned cautious of us, it would be bad. Even though Misuzu-san took her trouble to open Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san’s heart, even though she made good friends with you.

I’m thankful of your consideration!

Misuzu bows her head to Minaho.

.Then, would you like to tell me about KouzukiKakka’splan about Misuzu-san and Ruriko-san.

.Eh?

Yes. I would also like to report it to everyone!

.Misuzu?

Earlier.Ruriko-san has talked about the people who were trying to make Ruriko-san and I fight inside the Kouzuki house.

Un. I’ve heard about that.

That is grandfather’s doing!

KouzukiKakka.purposely let his two granddaughters fight?

As expected.

Minaho-neesan mutters.

So that’s how bored Kouzuki-sama is

.Bored?

Because he’s bored.he let his granddaughters fight?

Yes. Grandfather intentionally splits Kouzuki family by making them fight.I think he’s eliminating the bad people in the process

Misuzu answered with a gloomy face.

I think that’s just half of the purpose

.The other half is?

The later part is grandfather’s hobby. He intentionally had Ruriko-san and me brought up in a distorted manner.and looks forward to our growth

.Hobby?

Ruriko-san and I are two years apart. There are no other grandchild other than us because grandfather ordered so. His eldest and second son.each of them make a daughter. The two year difference is also calculated from the beginning

But.isn’t there a possibility of giving birth of a boy instead of a girl?

I asked.

It’s now possible to preselect the sex of your child. That kind of technology has been established

Misuzu smiled at me.

Why does it have to be daughters? Normally, won’t he want a boy for a successor?

Misuzu.

Grandfather.I think he wants to make a disturbance in Kouzuki house on purpose

.Disturbance?

If the successor is a woman.the list of problems would increase later. Rather thanWho will be the bride?theWho will become the husband?has a bigger argument

I see.

Misuzu or Ruriko-san’s marriage partner can become the next ruler of Kouzuki house. Everyone from their clan would plan to send their own son.

But.Misuzu-san and Ruriko-san’s fiancehave already been decided, isn’t it?

Margo-san asks.

Yes.I know who it is. My ownfiancethat is. I don’t know about Ruriko-san. Furthermore.my partner hasn’t been publicly known yet!

Who’s thefiance.the clan would have suspicions.

He’s really shaking it up.

Kouzuki house has become too big. Grandfather’s opinion is that half or a sixth of the current scale is better

.He wants to restruct Kouzuki house itself Restructure? Restructure, it means rebuilding. Eliminate the useless staff and make it a slimmer organization

Margo-san taught me.

Also.grandfather doesn’t trust men

He doesn’t trust men?

Men today can’t be trustedhe says constantly. Grandfather is already beyond 80 years old after all.

In KouzukiKakka’seyes.the men living nowadays areyoung men

Does it mean that Kakka trusts women more?

Nei-san asks.

That’s where grandfather’s hobbies are built in

.Hobby

As you saw earlier.Ruriko-san doesn’t have any knowledge about sex. In order for other girls not let her know.Yoshiko-san, her one and onlyfriend and sisterhas been with her since three years old

Being together with Yoshiko-san.Ruriko-san won’t be lonely.

Since then, Yoshiko-san’s also been living with her isolated from information.she doesn’t question her own situation. It’s because she’s convinced that’s how it is. Just the two of them snuggling each other.they don’t hold doubt why they don’t have other friends.

Grandfather wanted to raise a girl with pure culture

True.Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san both grew up to be obedient and good girls.

However.with the information being restricted, there’s no difference from being distorted.

What about Misuzu’s case?

I dare to ask.

In my case.it’s the opposite

.Opposite?

When I was 8, grandfather showed me a sex scene of men and women

.Misuzu

.Also, the video of father having sex with his mistress

She’s seen man and woman twining at age eight.

Then.I felt completely sick of it. I became unable to deal with men!

KouzukiKakka.purposely gave Misuzu a sexual trauma.

Grandfather wanted me to become a lesbian.

Misuzu’s lesbian taste was directed by KouzukiKakka?

I’m really bad with them.I’ve seen men in their animal-like appearance again and again. I’m already no good. I can’t wipe off my disgust with men.

No.But

Misuzu.I

Ah, Danna-sama’s different. Rather than that.I’m no good unless it’s Danna-sama. The only men I talk to is grandfather and Danna-sama. I don’t speak directly to men even the teachers or doctors at school Eh.your father? Father.I haven’t talked to him since I was 8. When he wants to talk, I tell him to mail through mother

what does it mean?

I.at the times when I was most hurt isolated from school as the daughter of Kouzuki house.grandfather brought me to Nagisa-sama. I was saved thanks to Nagisa-sama

Err.working part time in Nagisa’s shop, right?

.Don’t male customers come there?

90% of the customers are female.if a man comes, someone else takes my place

I see.Nagisa’s been taking care of her.

Grandfather thought that Nagisa-sama would heal me.then, Nagisa-sama has completed my lesbian preference

Nagisa.after retiring as a prostitute.

After getting pregnant with a child whose father is unknown, Shirasaka Sousuke banished him from the mansion. She became distrustful of men. Then.then she trapped girls who hate men to lesbian acts in the shop.

Who would’ve thought that Nagisa-sama would transfer me as a pet to Danna-sama

As long as he leave it to Nagisa.MIsuzu’s lesbian preference will be strengthened.

And yet.Nagisa. She gave Misuzu to me.

I was really scared. But, I can’t go against Nagisa-sama’s orders.

sorry.

I remembered when I first did it with MIsuzu and apologized.

Danna-sama was very gentle with me. He told MisuzuI like you

.Misuzu? I.I came to love Danna-sama more and more. I’m already done. Misuzu will become Danna-sama’s pet forever Un.I’ll treasure you .I love you. Danna-sama

Misuzu snuggles to me.

I’m no good unless it’s Danna-sama. Other boys are a no. I don’t even want to talk to them. I only want Danna-sama

.Misuzu.

I grew up distorted according to grandfather’s desire. Grandfather wanted to make me a lesbian who hates men but.Misuzu became awomanonly for Danna-sama

We already have a relationship KouzukiKakkadoesn’t desire.

I see.that’s why. Misuzu will have to fight her grandfather.

But.Why does Kouzuki-san wants Misuzu to be a lesbian and Ruriko-san to be isolated from any information about sex?

Minaho-neesan answers my doubt.

Isn’t that obvious? She doesn’t want his daughters to be taken by other men

Taken by other men?

Un. I guess he wants to keep them under Kouzuki-san’s control

Margo-san said.

Just because he doesn’t want his granddaughters be taken away by other boys, he forced one to be a lesbian and restricted information about sex on others?

Like said.it’s his hobby

Misuzu’s eyes are in pain.

But, we can save them on the last minute. He won’t be violating his own granddaughters after all

That’s.

No, Shirasaka Sousuke was trying to do that didn’t he? Raising his daughter as he want then rape her. The girl named Agnes is still in the basement of the mansion wasn’t she?

But.what will happen afterwards? Misuzu-san and Ruriko-san, will you be happy if you do as Kouzuki-san expected?

Mana said.

Grandfather is enjoying it. Our joy and sadness.looking down at the top, he thinks it’s interesting

It’s like he’s observing a creature.

He stares at his granddaughter’s suffering interestingly? No.he purposely creates the cause of conflict. He’s trying to give waves of hardship to his granddaughters.

Therefore.Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san needs Danna-sama too

Misuzu looks at me with strong eyes.

.Me?

I don’t have any power.

I’m an idiot high school student.

What do you think will happen if both of them are taken by the fiance without any sexual knowledge?

Without any knowledge about sex.they might be turned to a mess.

But, Kouzuki-san won’t let that happen, right?

KouzukiKakkawants to mopolize his daughters.

Grandfather’s aged.he won’t always be healthy

i see.

Besides.perhaps, grandfather thinks that after his deathwhatever happens, happens.

This time.KouzukiKakkadominates the whole house and it’s well balanced, but.

If ever he collapsed suddenly.The factors of the problems made to distractKakkafrom his boredom will be bursting out in one go. Kouzuki housewill be turned into a mess. Among them.Misuzu and Ruriko-san would be crushed by the severe situation.

Grandfather is thinkingIf I’m going to die then I better take down Kouzuki house with me.

Misuzu said sadly.

Therefore.there’s no choice but to fight. Fight grandfather.and my own fate

.I

Got it.I’ll do anything I can. For Misuzu’s sake

Misuzu smiles.

Thank you very much. Danna-sama!

Then, I turned to everyone.

Everyone.please cooperate. Fighting against Kouzuki-san might be suicidal.

To my words, Margo-san;

It’s something Minaho, the leader ofKuromorishould decide with

.Minaho-neesan.

I will support Yoshida-kun and Misuzu-san. Either wayKuromoriintends to be get rid of so.as soon as possible.

Minaho-neesan said that we don’t have to worry about the influence of KouzukiKakkaagainstKuromori

If that’s Minaho’s plan then I’ll stay silent and follow!

Margo-san smiles.

Well, I’m the same. I’ll own a bakery so there’s no problem if we confront Kouzuki house!

Katsuko-nee smiles.

Uhm.MIsuzu-san

Megu speaks to Misuzu with her face turned red.

I’m the same.I’m no good unless it’s Yoshi-kun

.Megumi-san? I grew up in a brothel.I didn’t expect myself to be loving men in the future. Actually.I was on the verge of being sold as a prostitute by Shirasaka-san

In Shirasaka Sousuke’s plan, Megu’s supposed to work as a prostitute when the golden ended.

But, everyone saved me.and I didn’t become a prostitute. Then, Yoshi-kun loves me.therefore.I won’t love anyone but Yoshi-kun. I definitely don’t want being embraced by a man other than Yoshi-kun

If so, Mana’s the same! I’d feel disgusted if I’m going to have sex with someone other than Onii-chan!

Megu and Mana doesn’t know anyone but me.

Me to me too! Yo-chan forever!

Nei-san.you’re a virgin!

Therefore.I don’t want Misuzu-san to be separated from Yoshi-kun

Un, Mana will protest against Misuzu-san’s grandfather! I will protest too ! .Everyone

Misuzu’s moved.

Whatever happens, I am Misuzu-sama’s guard

Michi says she’s not following Kouzuki house but Misuzu.

Let me ask just in case.what about you Kuroko-chan?

Nei-san laughs and asks Yukino.

.But Yukino’s looking at a distance?

.What’s wrong?

Nei-san asks.

Those three foreigners have been looking at us since a while ago.

.Three foreigners?

Following Yukino’s glance. There’s three women with slender and tall body shape. The three of them are on their late 20s and early 30s. The two of them are twins? They look completely alike. Their face and figure’s completely the same. They’re wearing white pantsuit. Black shoes and black leather gloves. Sunglasses on their eyes and hair dyed white. Then, the woman in between the two. She’s wearing pure white tight skirt suit. The same sunglasses and white hair.

Misuzu.go behind me

Those three smells danger.

Un.Minaho, go back too

Margo-san and Michi comes forward

The three foreign girls smiled then approached us.

1. Taken from Persona 5

Chapter 221

The twin young foreign white haired women wearing black leather gloves, white pants suit, and sunglasses.

And another white haired woman wearing a white tight skirt also has sunglasses. The three of them stand in front of us. All of them have a face and figure of a model. The twins come at front.

Hello.I’m Government officialfrom America’s department of commerce. My name’sKatherine This girl’s my sisterAudrey

.Err

True, when you look at the card suspending from her neck. Guest US department of commerce They were checked by Kouzuki security service and passed through the gate However, she calls herself.Government official Anyway, she’s speaking broken Japanese.1 The other two seems unfamiliar with Japanese.they’re just looking here while smling.

Sorry.where’s the guard headquarters?

.Then

I hold down Mana’s mouth who tried to speak.〜

Mana.don’t talk

.Eh?

Mana’s surprised.

.Strange. I feel something’s odd. Don’t show any opportunity to these three!

Please stop the games.you’re scaring the children

Minaho-neesan spoke in Japanese.

I’m not playing.I’m talking seriously!

I spread my arms to protect Nei-san.

Megu and Misuzu.Katsuko-nee’s embracing Mana. YUkino’s cowering.

.Michi-san, don’t make a move

.I know

MIchi’s hand is already holding the handle of the red whip

Margo-san spoke to the three.

Let me ask your name once again

The twin who’s speaking in broken Japanese smiled then.

I’mKatherine Hepburn My twin isAudrey Hepburn.Then that one is the international exchange chiefVivien Leigh

Un.I don’t get it but.

Anyway, I knew that it’s a false name. You don’t smile this much saying your own name. These people have bad personalities.

Able to come here with that setting.Kouzuki security service doesn’t seem to be serious

Minaho-neesan said like sighing.

Could you stop the stupid way of talking? You can talk Japanese properly right?

Margo-san said.

Why do you think so?

The foreigner woman asks while grinning.

.Cesario Viola has spent his childhood at the US military base in Okinawa, he had a setting of being able to speak Japanese fluently

Margo-san answers

Which of you is Cesario Viola?

Margo-san looked at the twins

She ignored the woman in skirt.

Wait a moment.they’re not, Maru-chan!

Nei-san shouts from behind.

Cesario Viola’s not among those women!

.un.

I’m surprised at what Margo-san said too. I’ve heard that Viola’s a master of disguise but. Can he take shape of such a young and beautiful woman?

No.that’s not it. Nei

Margo-san speaks in a calm tone.

These people aren’t theCesario Violawho came to Japan targetting Nei

.Meaning?

They’re a differentCesario Violafrom what we fought before

There’s more than one viola?2

The three women laughed. They all understand Japanese? One spoke in broken Japanese and the other two pretended not to understand. They’re all fake!

You got us, Miss Margo Starkweather. I wonder if that’s the result ofKyouko Messer’seducation.

The woman in tight skirt standing behind spoke in fluent Japanese.

Kyouko Messerit’s the underground name of Margo-san’s master, Kyouko Dothnomechey-san Knowing that name means.

Kyouko-san taught me not to talk to people who can’t introduce themselves properly!

My, excuse me

The tight skirt woman gives instruction to the twins with her eyes when Margo-san told them.

The woman who’s speaking in broken Japanese opens her mouth.

Nice to meet you.I’m Cesario Viola. My real name’s Fabiano Katou!

Then, the twin who’s been silent until now.

Hello.I’m Rosalind Orlando. Real name, Fabiana Katou!

Nei-san opposes.

No! Rosalind’s not a woman like you.she died! She’s shot by Kei-chan!

Nei-san must be having flashbacks.

Nei-san shouted strongly.

You’re right.The fourth Cesario Violahad that kind of case!

The fourth.Cesario Viola?

But, the Viola there has already been sent over his nextRosalind Orlando

The otherCesario Violasaid.

Right. Cesario Violaneed to be shown with his little sisterRosalind Orlandoin public!

The otherRosalind Orlandolaughs.

.What’s going on.

Danna-sama.you mustn’t take what theenemysay in face value!

Misuzu brushes off my confusion.

Right.this might all just be a lie.

Well.it doesn’t matter if you’re anotherCesario Violaand Rosalind Orlandothough.

Margo-san told theenemycalmly.

By the way.who’s supervising these two?

Margo-san’s eyes turned to the tight skirt woman.

That woman laughs.

.Who do you think?

Margo-san.

Either way, it’s another code name associated with Shakespeare? If I have to guess, is it Lady Macbeth?

My.I’m not that old however

The tight skirt woman denies it laughing.

If you’reKatherina Minolathen that would be helpful3

I’m not thatShrew Then.Cressida?4 I’m not a lass that flirts like her

The two laughs.

.Then,Ophelia?5

No matter how you look at it, naming myself as an innocent lady, isn’t that shameless? .Then, who are you?

The woman laughs.

Cordelia France

In short.you’re not the top but there’s still someone above you? That’s how it is.I’m just being used

Miss Cordelia answered.

Then.what business do you have with us?

Margo-san asks the women

It’s just a simple courtesy visit.we’d like to see your faces at least once

Coming to check the faces of the people you’re going to kill?

Yukino raised her voice hysterically.

Miss Cordelia laughs.

We don’t intend to fight you. There’s no meaning if you don’t gain a single yen, don’t you think?

Then.why did you come here?

The otherCesario Violaanswers

It’s to witness

That’s right, your fight with theFourth Cesario Viola

The otherRosalind Orlandoadded

Strange. Even theFourth Cesario Violawon’t be gaining money from fighting us

Margo-san said.

That’s right.even if he captures Nei-san, there’s no financial compensation. They’re completely saying that this conduct began from thefourth Cesario Viola’sgrudge.

The organization allowed thefourth Cesario Viola’stravel to Japan as promotion of activities

Miss Cordelia said.

As expected.they’re aiming to show the western, American murder organizationCesario Violato Japan.

However.thefourth Cesario Violahas already made a client contract in Japan

.Contract?

.Murder?

The person Shirasaka Moritsugu has asked to erase all of the people involved in this case

Miss Cordelia happily said.

The head of Shirasaka family? The enemies have joined togther. .No. The fourth Cesario Violahas made business with Shirasaka house by himself. Rather than a free promotion service.it’s better to work with to make money. Viola’s follower’s motivation has changed.

We’ll give you a list on this occasion

The otherRosalind Orlandotook out a piece of paper from the handbag.

That’s a list of names written in English.

Here you go

Rosalind hands the paper.

.MIchi-san, take it. Be careful

Margo-san instructs.Michi takes the paper calmly.

It’s okay.I don’t bite

Rosalind laughs.

My, she’s not your type?

The other Viola teases her sister.

You’re right. I haven’t eaten a black haired girl yet!

Michi.

I have a poison so I’m not delicious

Rosalind looks pleased.

My my, what a cute thing to say!

Michi handed the paper she received to Margo-san.

Margo-san checked the paper.then handed to Minaho-neesan on the back.

My.you’re quite naive. If we had a radioactive polonium on the paper, you’ll all die

Miss Cordelia said.

You’re not Russian Mafia, you don’t do such unromantic assassinations, do you? Polonium and VX gasses are dangerous to set.you don’t do such boring way of killing, do you?

Margo-san answered.

My, why do you think so? We might be much more violent that you think?

Beautiful ladies won’t do acts that would hurt their beauty.and also .Also? .Cordelia is a familiar name. I’ve heard about the person named Cordelia Prisken a lot from Kyouko-san.

Margo-san stares at Miss Cordelia

Kyouko Messer, what did she say about me?

I wonder.shouldn’t you just ask her? As expected.Kyouko Messer’s already in Japan? You do know Kyouko-san’s methods way better don’t you? She’s hiding herself into a place no one can see until it becomes the highlight of the show Hearing that makes me relieved.I’ve got aloanfrom Kyouko Messer .Loan? That’s right.it’s notborrowbutloan I’d like to payback soon. I don’t want it to stay for the rest of my life

Miss Cordelia said.

Then.you just came as a watcher?

Well.that’s one of the reasons

Margo-san and Miss Cordelia look at each other.

The fourth Cesario Violahad been given strict orders not to attack this theater

.Eh?

There’s a lot of children from good families of Japan here, don’t you think? It won’t become a promotion if we got them involved in a bad way

.Right.

They want to advertise the power of the organization ofCesario Violato Japan’s upper class. If they killed a child of a noble who has nothing to do with it.they’ll become infamous.

Besides.we came as a government official of our home country

Miss Cordelia points at the name tag showingAmerican commerce departmenthanging on her neck.

We won’t do any act that would lose States’ authority. We’re patriots after all.

Margo-san smiles wryly.

I appreciate your thoughtfulness!

Thefourth Cesario Violawill be attacking everyone moving to the hotel after this. Let’s see, that kind of recreation’s better after dinner isn’t it? How about we start the fight after 8PM?

.After 8.

Even if we don’t fight.you’d be infiltrating by that time, don’t you?

Margo-san said.

Obviously.it’s a highlight on how far can we approach you before the battle starts, don’t you think?

Miss Cordelia laughed again.

Then, that’s all from us. Please say my regards to Kyouko Messer. I might not be able to meet her.

Miss Cordellia is about to leave but.

There’s no way Kyouko-san would say hello to you

Cordelia stopped.

She turned to Margo-san.

What did Kyouko Messer told you about me?

Margo-san answered.

She told me that she doesn’t love anyone as much as you!

.Is that so?

Cordelia glared at Margo-san

Are you Kyouko Messer’s current lover?

Margo-san laughs.

I’m Kyouko-san’s apprentice. She’s still treating me as a child even now

.Child? .I’m from the facility too

Hearing that.Miss Cordelia’s face calms down.

.Is that so?

It’s the same reason why Kyouko-san parted from the Brazilian Crime OrganizationMarandoroand became a guard forKuromori For her, we are all herdaughters! .I get it somehow That’s why.I don’t want you to bear a grudge to Kyouko-san I’m not.I just feel regretful on her talent. Kyouko Messer might be able to win against theFirst Cesario Viola.

Cordelia said sadly.

Good day.I’d like to see you again

Right. I’d like to open some California wine with the three of us That’s impossible! That depends on your feelings however? Anyway.win against thefourth Cesario Viola Let’s continue talking if you survive You’re right. .I wish you good luck

Miss Cordelia walks out.

The white twins go after her.

.Bye everyone

.Do your best

Then.the three white death gods disappear

.Margo-san, how far do you trust those people’s words?

Misuzu asks.

I don’t trust anything about them

Margo-san laughs.

But.that person bothered to come to see Margo-san

Megu asked with an anxious face.

If that person’s really Cordelia Prisken.Kyouko-san’s first apprentice, she’d be the the longest partner she worked with

.What? From what I’ve heard from Kyouko-san.Cordelia Prisken is supposed to be dead

We’re talking to someone who’s supposed to be dead?

Well fine. They’re not our ally but they’re not completely our enemies

How can you say so?

Megu asks.

If they’re really our enemies.we’re already killed now. The three of them had enough fighting power

.Un

I think they overlooked us.

Assuming that someone’s ruling aboveCesario VIola.I imagined the possibility that the current Viola isn’t the original. Who would’ve thought that there were multipleCesario Violain one organization

They say that the one aiming at us is thefourth Cesario Viola At least, there’s a four pair ofCesario ViolaandRosalind Orlando?

Megu asks.Margo-san;

They might just be deceiving us on that part. Even those twins, we don’t know if they’re really aCesario Viola

But.that would make a reasonable explanation About everything until now

Katsuko-nee said.

The Cesario Viola aiming at us.is called fourth Cesario Violaby those girls but.the image is a strong and violent young opponent

.Un. True.

From what I’ve heard from Nei-san.he’s a dangerous old man.

I can’t feel their elaborate plan at all. I don’t understand why such crude criminals had been let loose for a long time

Katsuko-nee said.Minaho-neesan;

It must be true that the organization is manipulating multipleCesario Viola’sat the same time Depending on the content of the job.they change the Viola that would work for it

.Then

Thefourth Cesario Violathat’s aiming at us is the team that’s taking the most violent and brutal jobs

Right.those three have a much more sophisticated atmosphere

I see.

They undertake various criminal acts from various people. In reality, they let the person suited take the job. And the top of the team are namedCesario Violaand Rosalind Orlando Then, the crime legend of Viola strengthens. There’s no problem if he’s killed or arrested. AnotherCesario Violais alive and well. Even if if they confessI am Cesario Violaat the police station.it’ll only be thought of as a lie. Cesario Viola’scriminal case will just continue.

I don’t really think that more than four pairs ofViolaexists but.there might be more than two pairs

Margo-san said.

By the way.the list given a while ago

Margo-san asks.Minaho-neesan spread the paper.

If we’re going to believe Cordelia’s words. That is the list of people Shirasaka Moritsugu askedthe fourth Cesario Violato kill.

.Yoshida-kun’s name isn’t here

I look in the list.

True, My name’s not here.

Shirasaka house hasn’t noticed Yoshida-kun’s existence

Right.I

Shirasaka house doesn’t know me at all.

Rather than that.Shirasaka Moritsugu seems to be serious

Katsuko-nee said after looking at the list.

There’s even people’s name from Shirasaka family written too. Mr. Ichikawa, and Shirasaka Sousuke’s wife too.

.Shirasaka Moritsugu

.It seems that he wants to kill everyone involved in this incident. Kill everyone.and just turn everything unsettled. A last resort.

My name’s here

Megu’s surprised.

Yamamine-san’s names.aren’t here. He knows that Megu is Shirasaka Sousuke’s daughter. The cause of this event.he’s trying all of the parties concerned with Shirasaka Sousuke. Therefore.he requested only Megu to be killed.

.Maika-san too

Mana said.

Shirasaka Moritsugu wants to kill Shirasaka Maika. .And

That’s.granduncle!

In the list.

Shirasaka Yukino’sname is written

No way!

Yukino’s lost in grief.

Shirasaka Yukino.Shirasaka house; Shirasaka Moritsugu has abandoned her.

1. I can’t make an accurate depiction of that in English however

2. I mean, you’re the one who hypothesized it Yoshida 3. The Taming of the Shrew 4. Troilus and Cressida 5. Hamlet

Chapter 222

I got it now.

Margo-san sighs.

Miss Cordelia’s ourenemy!

Does that mean?

She’s not the person in the past Kyouko-san talks about

Minaho-neesan said.

Yoshida-kun.who do you think Shirasaka Moritsugu want to kill the most in the list?

Minaho-neesan spreads the list in front of me.

Misuzu and Megu also looked at the paper on the table. Written on theMurder listis. First.the people ofKuromorithat’s hostile against Shirasaka house. .Minaho Kuromori Shirasaka Moritsugu only knows Minaho-neesan as the leader ofKuromori Therefore, the surname’sKuromoriinstead ofYuzuki Following.Katsuko Takanashi. Margo Starkweather He recognizes both of them as people inKuromori. Nei-san’s name isn’t here. It’s obvious.Shirasaka Moritsugu doesn’t know Nei-san. Nei-san has never appeared in front of the guests ofKuromori The only one who has business with Nei-san is thefourth Cesario Viola Nagisa’s name isn’t here.I feel relieved. Un.it’s already been four years since Nagisa has retired fromKuromori Following the list are the number of people withShirasakain their last name. It’s all names I don’t know. Perhaps, these people are rebelling against the Shirasaka head; Shirasaka Moritsugu, trying to rebel against Shirasaka house by making a deal with KouzukiKakka Lastly.Shirasaka Sousuke and his family. The list ends with old man Ichikawa’s name.

If you’re Shirasaka Moritsugu.who’s the highest priority to kill?

.I

.Minaho-neesan?

Minaho-neesan’s the mastermind of this case.

Minaho-neesan should be the one Shirasaka Moritsugu has the most grudge against. Margo-san laughs.

Sadly.it’s not her

.Eh?

.Shirasaka Sousuke-san

Misuzu mutters

.Why? Shirasaka Sousuke is his nephew isn’t he? Even though he’s been looking after him up until now.

You’re right.if Shirasaka Sousuke-san’s mouth is sealed, it’ll become a futile situation

.Megu?

This time’s Shirasaka house’s scandal.to be honest is all just crimes of Shirasaka Sousuke being exposed. Therefore.if Shirasaka Sousuke dies, you can just make everything vague!

Margo-san said.

Right.rather, the Shirasaka house thinks that if Shirasaka Sousuke continues to live, it’ll be bad for them. He’ll be caught by the media and just talk about Shirasaka Sousuke!

.I see.

It is as Katsuko-nee says. As of now, the only evidence Minaho-neesan released is about Naomi-san’s remains. Various entertainment reporters shed bad rumors about Shirasaka Sousuke on TV. Shirsaka Sousuke’s comment hasn’t been taken yet. If ever Shirasaka Sousuke’s taken to an interview, or a press conference. This scandal will flame up even more.

Therefore.before that happens, Mr. Shirasaka Moritsugu would like his cute nephew to die. That’s the only method remaining to extinguish this scandal

It doesn’t matter if the death is suspicious.

If Shirasaka Sousuke dies.the spark this scandal will disappear. The media’s pursuit will stop.

.Papa

Yukino mutters in a small voice.

Mana, she’s not saying anything. She’s just holding Megu’s hand tightly.

Therefore.Minaho has instructed Kyouko-san to turn Shirasaka Sousuke missing

Un. Nobody knows the current location of Shirasaka Sousuke.

So that’s why that woman asked Margo-san about Kyouko-san!

That’s how it is. Those people know that Shirasaka Sousuke is with Kyouko-san

Shirasaka Sousuke and Kyouko have left Australia.

If they discover the departure record.what’s left can be imagined easily.

Miss Cordelia spoke to us in Japanese and intimately is part of the plan. She thought that someone would accidentally talk about something that can be a hint

But sadly.not a single one of us knows Kyouko-san and Shirasaka Sousuke’s current location

Nei-san laughs.

Wait a moment.does that mean that those three want to know Shirasaka Sousuke’s whereabouts?

A bad feeling crosses my mind.

That’s how it is Yoshida-kun.Miss Cordelia lied about her being just awitnessfor the other viola

Margo-san declared.

Those three have come to kill us according to their contract with Shirasaka Moritsugu!

As expected!

I don’t think those three are running underFourth Cesario Viola’sorders No matter how you look at it, those three are on a higher rank. And yet.them searching Shirasaka Sousuke’s location!

They are aiming for Shirasaka Sousuke’s life too.

The reality is that they overlooked us this time so they can know the location of Shirasaka Sousuke

Margo-san leaked a sigh.

Then, they intend to kill us either way?

Megi asks.

.Should be. Shirasaka Moritsugu didn’t make a contract with theFourth Cesario Violabut rather with those people’sOrganization

Minaho-neesan answered.

In short.Our enemy only thefourth Cesario Viola Our enemy is the wholeOrganization. Even the otherCesario Viola would come to attack us.

Is there no way to annul that contract?

.Misuzu asks.

It’s only when the client can’t pay up a lot of money, then they can void the contract

Un, regrettably.underground world prioritizes trust. Once the contract has been signed, it has to be executed no matter what

Margo-san answers.

There’s only two ways of cancelling the contract. Shirasaka Moritsugu withdraws the kill contract by paying a penalty.

And the other one? Shirasaka Moritsugu is unable to pay up the reward for success!

.Err.

Margo-san explains what Minaho-neesan said.

If the client is judged to be unable to make payments.the murder contract will immediately be cancelled. It’s foolish to do work if it won’t turn to money, don’t you think?

They have to make such a rule.the person who’d do anything just to dispel his grudge relying on aCriminal organizationshould have the resolution of being killed later!

I see.if a person who pretends to have money requests for a murder.

If they killed the person as requested and he saidI don’t have money.TheOrganizationwould have net loss. It costs quite a lot of money for people to kill people after all

The client’s life won’t be equal to it.

Therefore.theorganizationconstantly monitors the client’s pocket. Then.If ever the client no longer has the ability to pay.the contract would be cancelled at that point

.I see.

Shirasaka Moritsugu.has requested to kill this many people. The contingency fee would become several hundred of millions of Yen. But if Shirasaka Moritsugu loses power.and falls down from the head seat of Shirasaka family, he can’t spend that much money freely

It would become impossible for Shirasaka Moritsugu to pay up hundreds of millions of yen as an individual.

No, in the first place, the kill request was made only because Shirasaka Moritsugu is sticking to the head status. After he’s chased out as the heads of the house.it would be meaningless.

Therefore our current strategy is to endure Shirasaka Moritsugu’s downfall

Meaning.making the deal of the rebels in Shirasaka family with KouzukiKakkaa success?

I asked, Margo-san;

On the contrary.the night hotel would become a bloodbath. Everyone on that list would be gathering together

They can reasonably kill everyone.

Are they going to blow off the hotel with missiles?

It could be the radioactive material and murder gas that came out from the conversation with miss Cordelia a while ago

Mana asked worriedly

Mana-chan.cost-effectiveness is very important in business

Margo-san gently smiled to Mana.

Even though they’re going to earn millions of yen.it’s stupid to hammer it all for a missile. Theexpenseenemy use would only several ten million yen

But still.that’s a lot of money.

If it’s the foreigners that attacked earlier, they can easily mobilize hundreds of people.

With this.I’ve understood the gist of why Miss Cordelia approached us

Minaho-neesan thinks

But still.I think them purposely greeting us that way and talking about her having somethingborrowedfrom Kyouko-san is true.

Margo-san answers with a dark face.

But, we don’t know if Miss Cordelia’sborrowisFavororgrudge. Either way.the number of enemies have increased

We trembled.

But.why is Kyouko-san’s name not on the list?

Katsuko-nee who’s been looking at the list all this time asked.

Speaking of which.Kyouko Dothnomecheythe name that’s most famous in the underworld is missing.

Could it be that Shirasaka Moritsugu failed to notice her?

Megu said.

No.Shirasaka Moritsugu knows that Kyouko-san is the guard ofKuromori

Minaho-neesan said

Right.Kyouko-san’s been the guard ofKuromorieven before Margo-san and Katsuko-nee joined. There’s no way Shirasaka Moritsugu is unaware.

I can only think of Miss Cordelia negotiating with Shirasaka Moritsugu to remove her on the list

Margo-san concluded.

Eh?Why?

I don’t know the reason

Why did she do it.even I don’t know

.Then

Isn’t that obvious?

Yukino speaks up.

That person’s not ajob.but a personal kill target?

.Yukino, you?

.Un. Yukino-san might be right

Margo-san agrees.

There’s nothing else possible!

No.Uhm

Yukino, do you understand your own position?

Haa.Somehow, I’ve gotten hungry

.Yukino, Yukino-san?

Even if you think about it, nothing’s going to change. Either way, whatever happens will happen!

Sometimes, I’m envious of Yukino’s thick nerves just like climbing mountain ropes.

Margo-san laughs.

Right.Yukino-san’s right. I think we can trust Miss Cordelia’s promise that they won’t attack the theater nor raise an incident until after 8. However, it’s not only the three of them, endless spies have invaded

Right. Miss Cordelia said.

Even if the attack starts at 8.the agents would be sneaking before. As soon as it’s 8PM.there’s a possibility of the person next to me being shot and killed.

Well.there’s only Kouzuki security service and the child’s guards here now but, The venue would be gathering more and more guards from each respective houses

Katsuko-nee said.

Right, before the opening time.various families would be coming here starting with KouzukiKakka Of course.the VIPs would be having top level guards. The safety of the venue rises.

Everyone, try to be together as much as possible. Don’t separate from each other. Don’t approach people you think suspicious even for a bit. When you feel something strange then report to Minaho or me immediately.okay?

Margo-san said.

.We know!

No.Yukino.

What are you to us again? I’m getting even more worried.

Should we report Miss Cordelia’s matter to Kouzuki security service?

Katsuko-nee asks Margo-san.

No.they’re using IDs from American commerce department, director Yamaoka can’t deal with it. Those three are special. I don’t think the agents would be using the same method. Rather, I think it’s better to let Kudou-san know it. That person will be checking on the people coming to visit from US government today

.Michi-san, where do you think your father is right now?

Katsuko-nee asks Michi.

I think that father will be flying around the theater anyway.1 Norma-san’s in the front entrance so I think you should call her instead

Yeah.we should stop going out of the theater.

Got it.I’ll contact her

Please.Katsuko

Katsuko-nee bows to Minaho-neesan and head towards the entrance.

Now then.what should we do?

Margo-san asks Minaho.

Then.Misuzu speaks.

Uhm.I should prepare for mydress rehearsalsoon!

O-Oh right.

She has to change costumes.

Un. You’re going to the dressing room right?

Yes. Does everyone want to join in?

Now then.what to do?

Right.Megumi and Mana-san should be with Misuzu-san for a while if possible

Minaho-neesan said

Why?

I asked.

That’s the safest place in the theater right now. There are girls doing practice independently outside but most of the performers are in the dressing room, right?

I see.the guards who protect the performers should be in the dressing room too.

Yes, that’s why everyone should go there

Misuzu said.Minaho-neesan;

That’s not going to happen. Today’s performers are small children, aren’t they? Shouldn’t the guardians come along, not just the guards?

Yes, I think there are some It would be fine if it’s their mother but.if it’s the father, they’ll know our faces!

Ah.They might be customers ofKuromori

At such places.furthermore, before the opening time, it would be bad to see Minaho-neesan’s face.

Therefore, we’ll stay in the lobby for a while

Okay, then I’ll go there too If Maru-chan’s there then me too!

.Nei-san?

You see, Maru-chan’s the safest place for me!

Nei-san said and smiled.

What’s left is Michi, Yukino, and Me.

Yukino-san.I think she shouldn’t come to the dressing room

Misuzu said.

.Why?

Her look.is indeed strange

True

Yukino’s wearing a yellow-and-black construction dress. It’s definitely not vulgar clothing but. No matter how you look at it, it’s a girl weak in the head. Her hobby is too bad.it stand out too much.

Besides.Today, Takabayashi​ Sayaka-san is here?​

.No way?

Hearing Misuzu, Yukino raised her voice.

.Who’s that?

It’s Yukino-san’s classmate in middle school

Mana told me.

She’s been talking about Yukino-san in the dressing room since lunch time. I’ve come to play in Shirasaka Sousuke-san’s houseshe said.she’s always been talking about the arrangement of the house and even the snacks served

Misuzu smiled wryly.

Shirasaka Sousuke’s a director on a leading advertising agency. As a member of Shirasaka family.Yukino even attended an Ojou-sama school until middle school. It’s not strange if she’s acquainted with a pupil of Konpeki style school.

.That woman

Yukino made a bitter face.

Then, it’s better not to show your face

No matter how disguised she is.Yukino’s former classmate will be able to identify her identity.

Mana, is it okay to meet her?

Maika-san has never met that person even once.in the first place, Mana isn’t Maika-san!

Mana said then smiled.

It’s okay. I’ll be with you

Megu said.

Danna-sama, what about you?

.I

.What should I do? .Then Several people come this way. Kanako-san who asked us to work on the pamphlets is walking ahead. Behind her. Kudou Haruka’s four followers.

Sorry.I had to take off my costume after thedress rehearsal!

Kanako-san who changed to her practice Yukata came back breathing roughly.

The clothes today were borrowed from the headmaster so I can’t let it get dirty

Kanako-san wiped her sweat with a small hand towel then said.

My.are you done already? I’m sorry, Misuzu-san and her guests did everything!

It’s not just us. Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san came to help out too Really?I’m very sorry Don’t mind it

On behalf of everyone.I spoke to Kanako-san.

We’re Misuzu’s familyafter all

Hearing what I said.Kanako-san’s surprised.

Misuzu-san.could it be, this person?

Ah.shit

Kanako-san seems to have misunderstood me as Misuzu’s secretfiance

It’s not.Kanako-san

Misuzu.

This one isn’t thefiancegrandfather has decided on me.

Megu and Mana pats my back.

.Eh?

This is Misuzu-san’s territory Un.it can’t be helped

.Girls

Geez, you’re slow ! Hurry up and go to Mii-chan’s side!

Nei-san thrusts me from behind.

I line up next to Misuzu. Misuzu smile as she look at me.

This is the person I chose.the one I love!

.Misuzu?

My.Is that so?

Kanako-san’s face turned bright.

Yes. I’ll tell only Kanako-san!

Among these two.Kanako-san has her face feel very mature but.

She’s younger than Misuzu.

.I can’t tell Manami-chan?

Ufufu.you can. But, only Manami-chan .Yes!

Misuzu and Kanako-san smiled peacefully at each other.

Kudou Haruka stares at us with a bitter face.

Then, we can leave the pamphlets to Kanako-san, I assume?

Yes.Nadeshiko-sensei’s apprentices would be coming soon My, isn’t Kiyoko-san already here if you’re talking about apprentices? I’ve seen Kiyoko-san do independent practice with Midori-san and Makie-san I see.the apprentices are busy aren’t they?

Misuzu and Kanako-san are having conversation only apprentices of Konpeki style can understand.

It’s almost time for Misuzu-san to prepare.

That’s right. I have to hurry

Kanako-san looks at me.

Have you seen the order in the pamphlet?

.Order?

Misuzu-san.will be the third from the end for today’s dance

Third from the last?

The last would be the headmaster, Nadeshiko-sensei’s dance

Today’s gathering is a symposium of Konpeki-style dance.

So the last.the teacher will be dancing herself.

Before Nadeshiko-sensei is Manami-chan who’s the best in our class

True.they said that Manami-san’s the headmaster’s granddaughter wasn’t it?

Misuzu’s before her. Then that means that Misuzu’s the second most skilled among today’s apprentices?

It’s a huge selection. Misuzu-san really did her best

Don’t say that.it’s embarrassing

Misuzu’s embarrassed.

Un.I’m looking forward to it. Misuzu

Today.I will dance for Danna-sama!

I want to kiss Misuzu.

But.it would be bad here. Kanako-san’s looking. Behind her are people glaring at us.

.Sorry but, you haven’t forgotten your promise with us?

Kudou Haruka told me.

1. No, he’s not literally flying

Chapter 223

.Who’s this?

Kanako-san asks Misuzu as Kudou Haruka shows an unusual atmosphere.

Misuzu smiled gracefully.

She’s Ruriko-san’s guard.don’t mind her Kanako-san

.But We’ll settle this among ourselves

When told like that.Kanako-san has no choice but to be silent.

Misuzu-san can take priority of her lesson anyway.you can leave the rest to us

Margo-san said.

You don’t mind if we send Misuzu-san to the dressing room first do you?

Margo-san asks Kudou Haruka with sharp eyes.

Yes, I don’t

Kudou Haruka acknowledged.

Anyway.don’t worry about it, Kanako-san

Misuzu tells Kanako-san again.

It’s really going to be fine!

Nei-san smiled at Kanako-san who’s uneasy.

yes!

But still, Kanako-san looked uneasy.

Everyone moved together from the lobby to the dressing room entrance.

From the side aisle of the theater to next to the stage. There’s a big sign sayingAuthorized person onlyin big letters.

The other side will be the dressing room. That door is left open today

Misuzu explained.

I see, today’s the Japanese traditional dancesymposium. There’s more than 50 people performing. There would be guests visiting the dressing room too. When it’s not the performer’s turn, they can go watch others dance. The door separating the spectator seat and the dressing room is left open. .Then There’s a lot of stern men waiting around the door.

Those people are everyone’s guards

Misuzu whispers on my ears.

Today’s performers are all child from a distinguished family. In case of female guards, they can go inside the dressing room. The male guards can’t. Therefore, they wait in here. .Then.

.Misuzu-sama, you’re coming with a lot of strange people again

One person.a man in black aged over 50 calls Misuzu.

He stared at Minaho-neesan.

My, Tanizawa-san.you’re already here?

Misuzu smiled.

I’ve taken a head start today.I’d like to check the security system in here.

The man called Tanizawa answered Misuzu with his twisted grin.

Danna-sama.this one’s Tanizawa-san. He’s the chief of grandfather’s full-time security unit

KouzukiKakkafull time guard?

I see, Kudou-papa’s doing various investigations on the outside. There’s another person that sticks withKakkaas his guard. I now understand why the evaluation of Kudou-papa from director Yamaoka is low. To the regular members of Kouzuki security servcice.Kudou papa from theguard departmentmay seem only unreliable to KouzukiKakka He already has a dedicated escort unit.

Tanizawa-san.this is Kuromori-san

Misuzu introduced me asKuromori

It’s the chief of the unit sticking to KouzukiKakka That alone makes him know that I’m a member ofKuromori

.I’m Kuromori

I bow to chief Tanizawa.

Chief Tanizawa looks down on me with cold eyes. It seems that he doesn’t intend to greet a man from prostitution ring.

Misuzu-sama.please refrain from playing with strange people, You’ll makeKakkaworry

My, what are you talking about?

Misuzu answered with a smile.

Grandfather knows

If you say so.

Chief Tanizawa looks at Margo-san.

Oh, Nee-chan, it’s been a while.where’s master today?

As expected.she knows Margo-san’s face, he must’ve come to theKuromorimansion

Kyouko-san is on a business trip. Therefore it’s only me today

Don’t work on such a demon woman.come to our side. It’s not fun to be a brothel guard isn’t it?

Chief Tanizawa solicits her in front of Minaho-neesan.

The salary here is much better than Kouzuki security service though

Margo-san answered with a smile.

Don’t be silly, we’ve got welfare pension and unemployment insurance here. If you think about your future benefits, isn’t coming to a decent company much better, right?

Kouzuki security service is a decent company? Better than a brothel at least you know? I’m still an executive in Kouzuki security service even if I look like this. I can let you join in the company without examination with my authority voice now!

Executive.he’s on a higher position than Director Yamaoka.

Sadly.I don’t have any intention

.Why? You’re so cold. Well fine.if you changed your mind, you can contact me anytime

Chief Tanizawa said.

Danna-sama.Tanizawa-san is here to Ruriko and I will be safe

.Misuzu?

No, he’s the chief of the escort unit for KouzukiKakka His work should be perfect.

Grandfather is worried so he sent Tanizawa-san ahead, didn’t he?

Misuzu asked and chief Tanizawa smiled wryly.

That’s how it is.we can’t leave it to the unreliable lads like Yamaoka and Kudou

Chief Tanizawa seems to think that Director Yamaoka and Kudou Papa is stillhalf a man

Hey.Kudou’s girl. What’s with you leaving your master on an important escort duty?

Chief Tanizawa scolds Kudou Haruka.

Kudou Haruka is a registered guard in Kouzuki security service. Chief Tanizawa is a person above her in the company.

i’m very sorry!

Kuodu Haruka bows her head.

Tanizawa-san.sorry but could we borrow this girl for a while?

Margo-san asks.

.Why?

This girl picked a fight with us .Oh

Chief Tanizawa looks down on Kudou Haruka with an amazed face.

Then.Nee-chan will be educating her properly?

No.this girl will be taking her on

Margo-san points at Michi.

Michi looks down.

This girl.isn’t she the little sister?

Chief Tanizawa’s surprised.

Yes, Michi will fight her sister. I gave her order to definitely win

Misuzu told the chief.

I’m also included to the people Kudou Haruka insulted after all

Cheif Tanizawa sighs.

Got it.I’ll leave the match to Nee-chan. This girl’s as foolish as her father

No, she resembles her mother

Misuzu said.

No.well, that Kudou doesn’t take his wife seriously so she turned strange!

Chief Tanizawa knows Kudou mama and Director Yamaoka’s relationship?

Then, chief looks at Kudou Haruka.

Either way.taking on a fight with other organization while holding the name of Kouzuki Security service, that’s some irresponsible work, it won’t end with just displeasing Misuzu-sama. I don’t mind it so Nee-chan can beat her up. I’ll allow it

Chief Tanizawa doesn’t seem to trust Michi’s skills.

He allowed Margo-san, not Michi to punish Kudou Haruka. Kudou Haruka and the four followers face turned completely blue.

No.Tanizawa-san. That would be troubling me

Misuzu speaks seriously.

If Kudou Haruka wins against her sister.could you make it irrelevant?

.What do you mean? This match is needed by Kudou Michi

Michi looked up in surprise.

.Misuzu-Ojousan, you’re quite evaluating this girl highly

Yes.I intend to have Michi as my guard for the rest of my life .Understood

Chief Tanizawa speaks to Kudou Haruka.

Hey you.If you win against this small girl, I’ll forget everything you’ve done. Win with the intention to die. Okay?

That order.Kudou Haruka.

If I win.please put me in Chief Tanizawa’s team!

.What? I don’t want to be guarding children. I can’t get serious. If I’m going to guard then let it be a VIP!

.She’s really an idiot.

I have that much talent!

Kudou Haruka’s gotten strange confidence because she’s labeled as best in Japan’s Karate.

.You

Chief Tanizawa tries to scold her but Margo-san stopped him.

.Leave the rest to us

.But, Nee-chan This talentless girl can only understand with her body either way

Chief Tanizawa looked at Margo-san.Misuzu.then once again, Kudou Haruka.

.Then.

Don’t die foolishly.Karate girl. If you lose, you’re fired. Remember that

There’s no way I’ll lose against my sister!

Kuodu Haruka seems to be a complete idiot.

Then, I’ll enter the dressing room. Megumi and Mana-san, come with me!

Misuzu said but.Mana seems to be interested in the fight.

I.can I stay with Onii-chan?

Mana.if we’re with them, Michi-san can’t fight freely

Megu said.

Mana-san.Misuzu’s dressing room is the same as Ruriko-san

Misuzu told Mana.

Could you help Megumi-san talk about Danna-sama’s wonderfulness to Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san?

.Does that mean?

Recommending sex with me to Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san? Mana smiled.

Got it.Mana will talk to Ruriko-san!

.Err

.Danna-sama, come here

Misuzu pulls me out from the others.

.What?

Misuzu whispers in my ear so the others won’t hear.

.Please look after Michi

Michi’s completely disheartened because she’ll fight with her sister.

It seems she’s not good at dealing with Kudou Haruka.

Michi.that girl’s mentally childish. A weak girl. She’s essentially a useless girl unless someone controls over her

.Misuzu?

.Therefore, Danna-sama, please dominate Michi when Misuzu isn’t around

I dominate Michi?

Michi is an M. She wants to be ruled by someone she trusts

M?

Misuzu laughs.

A masochist

.Eh?

Misuzu’s the same

.Misuzu?

Misuzu is a girl who wants to bedominatedby Dana-sama!

True.Misuzu.

She’s my pet at first. I feel like she wants to bedominated She prefers to be the passive.be violated by me.

I’m different from Megumi-san and Mana-san.both of them tend to be sadist if you ask me

I look at Megu and Mana.

Both of them are looking at us with a blank face. .Speaking of which. Those two actively seek sex by themselves. True, they’re more S than M.

Please completely dominate Michi’s heart on this occasion, Michi needs Danna-sama.

.Misuzu.

Misuzu calls Michi with a strong voice.

Michi!

yes.Misuzu-sama?

Michi looked up in panic.

When I’m not with you, Danna-sama is your master. Follow all of Danna-sama’s orders!

Misuzu’s instruction sticks to Michi’s heart.

yes. Certainly!

Then, Danna-sama.please take care of Michi

Misuzu smiled at me.

We part with Misuzu, Megu and Mana from the dressing room’s door.

Katsuko-nee went to contact with Kudou papa so she won’t be back yet.

Then.let’s go

Margo-san calls out Kudou Haruka.

I won’t lose. No, I cannot lose

Kuodu Haruka mutters

.Then, how about the battlefield?

.This way!

Kudou Haruka opened the door to the stage

We follow her. On the stage is a lighting in the middle of it. There’s a lot of staff working around. From the stage side.going to the basement stairs. To the underground of the stage.we head to thetheater basement

Wow, this feels chilly!

Nei-san said.

It seems that the cold air accumulate on the underground. The theater basement is a dimly lit place with only emergency lights. There’s nobody here now.

This is the axis of the revolving stage. Ah, this is what’s making it go up!

Nei-san looks at the theater’s mechanism in interest.

Kuroko-chan, come here!

Nei-san pulls Yukino’s arms.

.Eh?

Just stay with me!

Saying that, Nei-san stands behind Margo-san.

Minaho-neesan also goes behind Margo-san. Kudou Haruka and the four followers take distance. I stand before Margo-san. Michi’s still looking down.

Now then.should we make confirmations?

Minaho-neesan told Kuodu Haruka.

You’ll fight with Michi.when you lose, you’ll be fired from Kouzuki security service, and become our prostitute.are you okay with that?

Very well.either way, I will win

Kuodu Haruka said then winks at her followers.

.Now!

The four of them moved around and surround me.

.Eh?

I tried to escape but the four karate girl’s movements are fast.

They caught be before I noticed. The girl with the best physique holds me from behind.

aneue!

Michi’s surprised.

I’d like to take a small insurance.

Kudou Haruka said.

Just so that girl won’t make a strange movement while I fight with Michi

She intends top prevent Margo-san from intervening by taking me as a hostage?

I don’t mind.either way, I thought that this would happen

Margo-san said calmly

Nei-san embraced Yukino behind her and smiled. I see. That’s why Nei-san secured Yukino first. They’re aware of Kudou Haruka’s hostage strategy.

He’s also a member ofKuromori.I hope you’re prepared

Minaho-neesan said.

.Right. I’m already prepared for this much.

.Michi. Don’t mind about me, fight with all your might

Michi looks up at me in surprise.

Beat them down, that’s an order!

Michi’s.puzzled.

Now then, should we begin.Michi

Kudou Haruka takes off her pumps.

She becomes barefoot and stakes a Karate stance.

You do know it.you never won against me. This will continue to happen forever!

Michi’s frightened from her sister’s words

Why are you that scared of your sister? Does she have some kind of trauma?

Now.take a stance, Michi

Michi takes a stance with her trembling hands.

.What are you doing, Michi?

I said instinctively.

Michi looks at me.

That’s a Karate stance!

yes.I always fight Aneue in Karate

Michi answered.

You’re not doing Karate!

I shouted!

You’reKudou style!

Michi’s surprised.

.but

I see.

I know what Michi’s afraid of. Kudou styleshould overwhelm her sister. It’ll shatter Kudou Haruka’s pride. She’s afraid of her sister’s body getting hurt. Michi is scared that Kudou Haruka would have a body that can’t do Karate anymore.

Michi.do with the intent to kill

I said.

.Yoshida?

Michi trembles.

It’s not Yoshida.call meMaster

.?!!! Misuzu told you earlier didn’t she? When Misuzu’s away, I’m your mastert .But

Michi’s trembling again.

Do it for me!

IdominateMichi

I ready myself.

Abandon your sister.your family is Misuzu and me!

Michi’s eyes opened up wide.

Life for only Misuzu and my sake!

.Michi

She breathes in. Then.breathes out.

Aneue.I’m sorry

Michi’s trembling stopped

Her champion spirit piles up.

I have to kill Aneue

Saying that.she takes out a red whip hidden under her skirt.

.Shuba!

The tip of the whip cuts the air and taps the floor of the theater basement!

you.what are you doing?

Kudou Haruka’s surprised.

There’s no way you’re going to use that?

Is there a problem?

Michi looks at her sister coldly.

Don’t be stupid! If you’re going to fight me then do it with bare hands

.Sadly, I have to win Throw away your weapon. Do you not care about what happens at this man?

Kudou Haruka winks at her followers surrounding me.

.But

.Doshu!

Throwing knife stabs at the very end of the follower’s feet.

I missed on purpose.releaseMaster Unless!

Michi holds another knife opposite to the hand with the whip.

that’s unfair.Michi!

At the moment Kudou Haruka speaks!

Michi’s whip attacks her sister!

.Zubashu!

The chest of Kudou Haruka’s pink suit is torn up!

Her white bra’s exposed! She ripped out exactly her clothes without hurting Haruka’s body. Michi’s skill surprises everyone.

There’s no such thing as unfair when it’s a struggle to protect theirmaster

A whip on the right and a throwing knife on the left!

Let me say it again.let go of my Master

Haruka’s followers who are holding me let go of their hand.

.I I slowly get away from the four and returned to Michi’s behind.

I’m very sorry.Master

Michi said.

I will be punishing this woman immediately!

Chapter 224

.Margo-sama, please take care of Master

Michi glared at her sister as she speak.

Roger.Yoshida-kun, stay behind me

I go to Margo-san’s back.

Nei-san came to my side.

.It’ll be fine!

She smiled looking at me.

MInaho-neesan is staring at Michi. Yukin came close to me. She grasped the hem of my suit tightly.

.Yukino, you’re scared?

Yukino sent me a glance.

Shut up.

Yukino’s trembling lightly.

You coward! Relying on weapons, you’re not a martial artist!

Kuodu Haruka is hysteric.

Michi.

I’m not a martial artist.

She stares at her sister with sharp eyes.

I’m the shield that protects my lord and the word that moves according to my lord’s command!

Suu.haa1

Michi’s peculiar breathing echoes in the dark theater basement.

The originalKudou Style ancient martial arts.changes you to alethal weaponwith no will

Alethal weaponwith no will?

Aneue.let me show you the end of life. Even if Aneue was born from theKudouhouse.it would be a waste to die without seeing the essence of this work!

Michi said.

She dumps the red whip and throwing knife on the floor.

.Why?

Kudou Haruka’s surprised.

Once again.you want to fight with me bare hands?

Michi ignores her sister and head to the four followers.

.Come!

As if sliding around.Michi heads to the four people.

I will take down the four of you!

Michi approached without hesitation and the four Karate girls trembled.

You see.humans have a sense of distance where they will reflexively refuse when stepped in by others!

Margo-san said.

That’s basically the range where you stretch your hand straight. Everyone hatesothersentering that zone. Theirsurvival instinctsends a signal ofdanger!

Michi invades the refusal distance of one of the Karate girls!

.Hii!

The Karate girl reflexively thrust out her fist to Michi!

.Then! The girl’s body flies in the air and her shoulder falls on the floor! Michi used the momentum of the fist to throw her off!

.You can be passive properly. Ladies?

Michi’s cold eyes fuel the fear of the three remaining Karate girls.

.Toaa!

They attack Michi all at once!

.Suu.haa.suu!

Michi’s body shakes like jellyfish in the waves, she evades the three people’s attack swaying.

.aahnn.doouu.toroaa!

Michi scoops from down the ankle of one girl’s kicking leg!

She twists the joint of the elbow stretched out by the another girl! At the moment the final girl tried to grasp Michi.her body flipped and she thrust the girl’s throat from below.

.Guee!

The three girl’s anguished screams overlap.

Each of them fell on the floor and groan in pain!

.The four of them are now unable to fight. As an athlete, I didn’t give them any injury to hinder them so it’ll be fixed after a week rest. Please continue to practicing with your friends after this

Shoulder.ankle.elbow.holding down the throat, Michi expressionlessly talked to the suffering Karate girls.

.You may have been tempted by Kudou Haruka but, if you experience this, you’ll go back to the world of sports

Margo-san told the girls.

You have rules, and fight one-on-one on a place where there is a referee, don’t you? Our world doesn’t have that. There’s no fouls nor referee. And.the number of opponents would differ in time and place!

Smiling.Margo-san looks at Kudou Haruka.

Michi and I have been training 1 vs. many. In addition.you have to protect someone!

.That’s right.

Margo-san kept hunting delinquents and Yakuza at night town. .She takes down multiple opponents while protecting Nei-san. So that was an actual training.

.scary

Yukino clings to me.

.Seriously. I embrace Yukino’s shoulder tightly.

Now then.Aneue

Michi once again looks up her sister.

.Kudou style ancient marital arts secret is on the breathing method

Again, she waveringly.shaking irregularly apprach her sister.

The whole secret of the martial arts is to.feel the enemy’sQiinterrupting thatQiand create agapand and attack.

.Qi?

Look.Japanese likes to sayread the airdon’t they?

Margo-san smiles at me.

In that case theQiflows in theAir Humans areindividualswho hold separate wills, but they’re aen masse creaturewho needs to live ingroups Therefore they take care of theirqiso they can communicate with other people’sqi Groupthat conforms a matchingqi The ability to senseQiand synchronize themselves is a power every human is born with!

Then.the essence ofqiis breathing2 Match thebreathingwith the opponent.match the rhythm of the pulse. Those who completely synchronize theirqisynchronizes the biological body rhythm itself!

Margo-san.Michi?

What are you guys talking about? I don’t get it.

Consequently.the mystery of martial arts is to synchronize the qiwith the enemy and freelydetachfrom the synchronization

Michi said.

Drawing your opponent to your ownqiworld.and swallowing your opponent I guess. That is theqisynchronization. Then.at the moment, they’re swallowed in, you can strike them by withdrawing yourself from the synchronization.and taking the enemy’s gap to attack

.Margo-san.

I see, Margo-san’s fighting style is always surprising the enemy. She creates a gap in their mind and reap it quickly.

But.Kudou style ancient martial artsis different!

Michi’s body sways again.

Kuodu style ancient martial artsnever synchronizes with the enemy’sqi Refusing to match theqi.they always shift the focus of the opponent’sqi Therefore.we can do this special breathing other schools can’t immitate!

Shurururu.suu.suuhahahahaa.suu.suu!

An irregular.unstable breathing.

Michi’sbreathextends to the darkness with an eerie rhythm.

Father seems to be fooling around when fighting because.the essence of this is to not let the enemy realize your breathing method

Wearing a fancy dress on purpose.strange weapons and and clumsy manner.

It is so the enemy won’t notice the special breathing method.

Then.aneue. You will receive our ancestral skills with your life!

Michi’s body bends!

She jumped to her sister’s bosom at a tremendous speed!

.hyaa!

The frightened sister thrusts out her right fist in reflex!

Kudou Haruka’s right arm bent on an impossible direction!

Gya!

It’s my first time hearing the sound of people’s bone breaking

Kyaa!

Yukino clings to me.

Margo-san and Minaho-neesan calmly watches.

Prepare yourself!

Michi’s hand approaches Kudou Haruka’s neck!

.Shit! If this continues, Michi would really kill her sister! I have to stop her! But.Yukino’s clinging is getting on my way! I can’t move quickly!

You two! What are you doing!

A woman’s scream came from the stairs!

Don’t move.I’ll shoot!

In the middle of the stairway.a woman holding a postol!

.That is.

Michii.stop this!

That is.

Michi and Haruka’s mother. Kouzuki security service general security department.Kudou Etsuko.

.Michi, stop

Using the gap Kudou mama created.I speak to Michi.

The enemy’s not killed yet however?

Michi ignores her own mother holding a gun and answered me.

I saidwith the intent to kill.I didn’t tell you tokill!

Michi lowers her hand aiming at her sister’s windpipe.

I follow Master’s orders

Then, she throws down her elder sister’s body on the theater basement floor like throwing garbage

.Bugaa!

Kuodu Haruka with a fractured right arm screamed loudly.

What have you done!

Kudou mama rushes over her daughter in hurry.

Even though I told you so much not to fight Haruka seriously!

.Does that mean?

Kudou mama.she’s Kudou papa’s childhood friend. Of course.she knows all ofKuodu style ancient martial arts Even what happens if Michi seriously fight her sister.

Aneue has become myenemy.

Do you intend to kill your sister! .If it’s to protect my lord then there’s no other way Don’t be stupid!

Michi’s mother pulled her.

Michi didn’t avoid it.

.You’re just like that man. He can ignore his own family members just forKudou style ancient martial artsand irrelevant matter!

Kudou mama scolds Michi with a demon look.

I’m the successor ofKudou style ancient martial artsbefore being your daughter.

Michi answered without changing her complexion.

If you’re theenemyof my lord.even if it’s my sister, mother, even father, I will fight them!

.You’re Crazy

Kudou mama insults Michi.

.Haruka, are you okay?

The mother calls out the sister whose arm is broken by the little sister.

I just broke the bone in the upper arm, it’ll be fixed right away. It’ll take more than half a year to recover but.she can still go Karate

Margo-san said with a smile.

A guard of aprostitution organizationshouldn’t speak that proud!

Kudou mama turns her anger to Margo-san.

What about you?You’re just an employee of a security company aren’t you? Don’t be so arrogant as you’re not someone who’s not even stuffing her face on the underground world

I’m an employee of Kouzukiu security service! I’m different from you!

Kudou mama turns her disdain toKuromori.

.A woman who’s having an affair with another man than her husband shouldn’t be selfish

Michi tells her mother.

You’re just a child, don’t criticize your parents!

Kudou mama tried to slap Michi again!

.But. This time, Michi avoid her mother’s hand. She poked her mother’s neck. Kuodu mama then fell on her back.

Michii.yoouu!

Kuodu Haruka looks up at her sister while enduring the pain in her arm.

Even though you’re that strong.you’ve been hiding that from me all this time?

Kudou Haruka sheds tears of regret.

It seems that she can’t agree that she lost to her sister with an overwhelming power difference.

I was ordered by this one to not win against Aneue

Michi calls her motherthis one

She no longer wants to admit Kudou Etsuko as her mother.

Mother.why?

Kudou Haruka looks up at her mother while crying.

This girl is a child ofKudou style ancient martial arts This girl has been thinking the way ofKudou stylesince she was born. Even though nobody taught her, she understood how to fight usingKudou style.no, no matter how much I taught her, she can’t understand the rules of ordinary combat sports. She’s a girl who can’t do anything butKudou style!

Does that mean?

.I’m not interested in fighting as a sport. A definite 1 on 1, time limit, foul moves.I can’t understand the judgement of a referee. Is that even related to realcombat!

Michi’s only interested inactual combatkilling each other seriously.

This girl’s a genius. He said. There’s no one as precocious as this child among the successors ofKudou style ancient martial arts.but

Kudou mama speaks hatefully.

This girl’s power can only be used in theunderground worldat current times. She’s a meaningless genius!

Kudou Haruka looks up at her sister.

Then.her not winning on a karate match against me.

Margo-san speaks.

Michi-san’s already an adult so she tries to respect the rules of a Karate match. Therefore, she’s confused. Michi looks for a way to beat down the opponent surely regardless of the rules. That is largely framed by the martial arts of karate so she can’t do it as she want, she’ll lose

Yes.I can’t move freely in Karate’s frame

Michi confessed.

Michi.since when you were convinced that you could win against me?

The tree years older elder sister asked her little sister.

Michi.

Ever since I was at the age of consciousness, I never felt inferior to Aneue!

You thought that I was weaker ever since you were born? You’ve always been making fun of me all this time!

Tears of frustration and hate falls down.

.I’m very sorry

Michi bows her head to her sister.

Either way.this world is impossible for you. You should go back to the world of sports with your friends

Margo-san spoke coldly to Kudou Haruka.

Dammit.everyone knew and mocked me for being weak.dammit!

Kuodu Haruka trembles as she cry.

Either way, my talent is only this far.I’m so weak that I can’t even beat my little sister!

Since I knew this would happen.I told Michi to not fight Haruka seriously and yet!

Kudou mama glares at Margo-san and Minaho-neesan.

.I hate you all. I’ll never forgive you

Margo-san.

No.her weakness isn’t her talent or her body

Kudou mama and the elder daughter looks up at Margo-san with eyes of anger.

Her weakness is her heart

.No

.Heart? Even Michi’s not strong at all.

Michi.

Michi reacts to my call.

Yes.Master?

Throw away your house at this moment.dedicate your life to me and Misuzu .Certainly

Michi turned to her mother and sister.

Farewell. Thank you for raising me this far. I express my gratitude to the two of you

Michi.what are you saying?

The mother’s surprised.

I have completely become theKudou style ancient martial artssuccessor, both in body and mind. I can no longer go back to you, myfamilyanymore

Michi.

Please dispose all of my personal belongings. I’m sorry for giving you trouble!

Michi.don’t be ridiculous!

Her sister shouts.

As a warrior.I met my lord to devote my life to. I will follow this road. Stay in good health!

I.

Misuzu and I will be taking Michi. She’ll be living for our sake. She’ll give birth to my child!

Michi who’s been expressionless towards her mother and sister.had her spine shivered.

.Master!

Michi earlier said that the originalKudou style martial artsis turning oneself to alethal weaponwith no will

In short.Michi hasn’t thought how should she use her overwhelming combat power on her own. As a warrior.she believes to dedicate all her power to her lord. It is as Misuzu said. Michi needs a person todominateher If there’s no one.Michi will be crushed by her own power.

Stay by Misuzu and my side. You only need to think about Misuzu and me

Yes.certainly Don’t make that face.I’ll treat you the same as my friends. You want to be loved by Misuzu and me don’t you?

.Michi

Yes.master

Then, take an attitude that would please Misuzu and me.our pleasure is your joy. Isn’t that right.Michi! .I will bear that in mind

then.Michi smiled clumsily.

Well.this is fine for a first time.

Let’s kiss.Michi

I embrace Michi.

Please.my everything is Master’s. Please do as you like

I pile my lips with Michi,

Kudou mama and her the elder sister looked at us bitterly.

I’ll never forgive you all.I’ll use everything to take you down.Kuromori!

Kudou mama speaks her curst to Minaho-neesan instead of me.

We don’t intend to ask forgiveness from anyone however.

Minaho-neesan replied with cold eyes.

We are risking our lives for our own survival. If Michi-san isn’t under his and Misuzu-san’s rule.then we won’t be accepting her!

Kuodu Michi-san.welcome toKuromori!

Nei-san said with a smile.

.Michi

.Thank you

She said and bowed her head.

Kudou Mama called the medical team of Kouzuki security service.

The four Karate girls and Kudou Haruka received emergency treatment. Kudou Haruka’s broken arm is braced. The other girls also had the parts Michi hurt, fixed.

I think it would be painful but.we can’t make a fuss in the theater right now. Walk on your feet and get out of the building. Okay?

udou mama told her daughter and the girls.

It’s before the opening of theJapanese traditional dance symposium They can’t call in ambulance in the theater. They had to be taken by the Kouzuki security service personnel outside in a place where the performers and the guards from famous houses can’t see. It’ll hurt the honor of the company.

I’m sorry.mother

Kudou Haruka apologized only to her own mother.

It’s okay.director Yamaoka had prepared a car for you all

Using that car.Kudou Haruka and others would be brought to the hospital.

By the way, Haruka-san!

Nei-san calls her.

.You do remember your first promise, don’t you? Ushishishi

The first promise.

If she lost to her sister.Kudou Haruka would be a prostitute ofKuromorionly once.

.What?

Kudou mama shows strong vigilance.

Kudou Haruka.

Even I intend to stay in the Karate. I won’t go back to what I said!

The karate girl who had her arm broken by her sister swore to fulfil her promise.

1. That’s breathing sounds

2. This is Hamon

Chapter 225

We head to the stage wing from thetheater basementonce again.

Kudou Haruka and her four injured followers were walking on their feet, holding down the part that hurts. Kudou mama and the emergency personnel are with them. They head from the entrance to the dressing room to outside the theater. They head to the hospital avoiding public eyes. We saw them off and head towards the dressing room where Misuzu is. We’ve got to return to the front of the dressing room or you won’t be able to return tot he lobby.

It’s quite flashy once again

Kouzuki security service cheif Tanizawa is waiting for us in the corridor where the dressing rooms are lined up.

It’s this girl’s overwhelming victory. She broke her arms without hesitation

Margo-san narrates the fight to chief.

It’s very brave of her breaking her real sister’s arm

Chief Tanizawa looks down on the petite Michi in admiration.

No.that much spirit would be promising in the future. Kudou Haruka’s skill is only losing her anger.if you slip through it and decide the match in one shot, I think it’s quite a big deal

Chief Tanizawa seems to have checked Kudou Haruka’s ability when she was employed.

The chief analyzes Michi’s ability to take down her sister who’s the top at high school Karate.

Though the skills can be mastered through time.the mind’s not good yet. At that age, if you’ve got guts, then I look forward to your future growth. I intend to let the elder sister be recruited just for formalities but.this lady can be officially recruited in the training frame

It seems that Michi and Haruka are in temporary employment in Kouzuki security service.

Tanizawa-sama.I’ve got a request

Michi asks the Kouzuki security service’s executive.

Please delete my membership

Chief Tanizawa’s surprised.

.Ojou-chan, are you saying you’re leaving the company?

I will be serving Misuzu-sama as an individual in the future However.you won’t get a salary if you don’t belong to Kouzuki security service you know? We’ll be taking care of this girl’s salary.

Minaho-neesan told chief Tanizawa.

You?

Kuromoripaying up Misuzu’s guard fee.Chief Tanizawa can’t understand.

.Yes. I decided to affiliate myself withKuromori

Michi answered with a serious face.

What? You guys aren’t justprostitution ringbut also asecurity department?

Chief Tanizawa speaks sarcastically, Margo-san;.

That is not the case but.this girl can’t develop her talent on a big place like Kouzuki security service. That’s why we decided to take her in

No way.She’s going to be Nee-chan’s disciple? This girl’s master is only her father. I only have the standpoint of an elder sister who will study together with her! .But

Chief Tanizawa seems to be troubled about how to reply about Michi’s transfer.

Tanizawa-san, I don’t mind it so could you let Michi-kun do what she wants?

Turning my gaze to that voice.

Kudou papa is together with Katsuko-nee.

.Father!

Michi bowed to her father.

I just met Etsuko and Haruka.Etsuko glared at me

Kudou papa answers.

If the father says so then it can’t be helped.to be honest, it’s not fun to have a girl who could become thefuture strengthof our company be taken away

Chief Tanizawa said.

Chief didn’t see Michi’s fight earlier. For the chief, Michi’s still agirl with a promising future

Besides.I don’t think this girl’s success could be entrusted to a tinyprostitution organization

Chief Tanizawa glared at Minaho-neesan as he speaks.

Are you saying that Kyouko-san and I can’t guide Michi-san properly?

Margo-san smiled.

I’m not saying that but.apart from Nee-chan, Kyouko-san’s out of standards

.Out of standards?

If it’s a human resource like Margo-neechan.I’d be gladly welcoming her to Kouzuki security service. Nee-chan’s skill has no kink. On practical use.as expected, unless you’re guarding an VIP with orthodox method, it won’t work

Kyouko-san’s orthodox too Liar.she’s a bottomless unorthodox. She can calmly put the

VIP

she should protect as a bait and uncover the hostile forces, right? That’s a misunderstanding. Kyouko-san serious at her work. She won’t make mistakes on her purpose and methods. She won’t put the person to guard in danger. But.she can calmly abandon someone who she doesn’t guard

Margo-san said.

Right. If Kyouko-san was here right now.she’d definitely protect the people’s safety in the theater but she’ll turn the guards from Kouzuki security service as shields. Those who chose guard as profession should be prepared as a matter of course, Kyouko-san can make that decision

Minaho-neesan laughs.

Looking at it.she’s not fit for a large organization

As an executive of a security company.you also need to pay attention to the safety of your staff.

You should be ready to throw away your lifeit would be troubling if you instruct with that assumption. Chief Tanizawa and Kyouko Dothnomechey-san have different fundamental mindset.

In that sense.Kudou Michi-san is a talent close to us

Margo-san told the chief.

Don’t be ridiculous.She’s still a small girl. That can be fixed depending on the future education!

For Chief Tanizawa.as an employee of Kouzuki security service, an employee that’s disciplined is the best.

Sadly.this girl’s combat ideology has already been perfected. She’s the successor of theKudou style ancient martial arts

Is that so, Kudou?

Chief looks at Kudou-papa.

Her spirit is drawn towardsKudou style ancient martial arts More than me.

Then? Yes.I think it’s impossible to straighten her out. Even if she enters our company.she’ll only belong to the underworld like myguard department That’s why you want her out? Yes.a small caliber like me can’t teach this girl I don’t think Kyouko’s a woman with such a big caliber!

Chief Tanizawa thinks.

.Promise me one thing. Don’t let this girl entertain a guest ever

Chief looks at Minaho-neesan.

I promise.Kudou Michi won’t be a prostitute

Minaho-neesan declared clearly.

Got it.I’ll allow the transfer

Chief Tanizawa told Michi.

However.you should ask for Misuzu-ojouchan’s permision properly. Also, if you’re fed up withKuromoriyou can always come back to Kouzuki security service. Make sure to keep those two

.Certainly

Michi replied.

Then, why are you here?

Chief Tanizawa asks Kudou papa.

Well you see!

Kudou papa whispered something to Chief’s ear.

.What?

Perhaps.it’s about Miss Cordelia and the white Viola.

Then.what happened to those guys?

They’ve already gotten out of site. I’ve let my reserve guys tail them Then.did you tell this to Yamaoka already? .Well you see

Kudou papa makes a troubled face.

He’s too stiff.so if he discovers this situation, he’ll just turn the defense frozen you know?

Even if you say that.Yamaoka’s the one responsible for this field. There’s achain of command

Chief Tanizawa complains at Kudou papa skipped director Yamaoka and reported to the position above

I’m not good with him.

Got it. Anyway, let’s go to the headquarters. I’ll talk to Yamaoka .Thanks Both of your daughters have disappeared from the control of our company. We need to have Misuzu-ojousan and Ruriko-ojousan a guard. Can’t we just have Tanizawa-san’s subordinates for that?

Kudou papa asks.

.Is that your aim?

Yes.Yamaoka’s guys don’t have enough experience nor skill True.theenemieshave penetrated through the guards Yamaoka has assembled. They’re not normal enemies They can’t cope with babysitting and guarding them

I see.as expected, guarding a child is a low status for them

Got it.leave it to me

Chief Tanizawa calls out the man in black suit near to him.

Sugai, guard this place. I’m going to the headquarters for a while

.Roger Also.call Fujimiya to the headquarters .Yes

The man called Sugai took out his phone immediately.

Eh.you’re letting Fujimiya guard the ladies?

Kudou papa’s surprised.

Are you dissatisfied with Fujimiya?

It’s the opposite.isn’t Fujimiya the top among Tanizawa’s unit? There’s no other woman vacant

Chief tanizawa smiles wryly.

But if Fujimiya’s onoffense and defense, isn’t she a definiteattackwoman?

She’s got good sensitivity todanger She’s qualified for the current situation The other guards from other houses would be frightened you know? Don’t care, let them be. I think they should have that much tension

That Fujimiya seems to be a scary person.

Besides.me taking out Fujimiya is an effective message to the other houses and to Yamaoka too

Chief Tanizawa seems to be putting pressure on the venue in a good sense.

Uhm.if you’re going to report to the headquarters, should I accompany you

Katsuko-nee asks anxiously.

No, it’s possible that Yamaoka would make a strange misunderstanding if you were there. Leave this to me.

Chief Tanizawa said.

Un. If he misunderstood.then it would be troublesome if he thought we’re connected with Miss Cordelia. We should leave director Yamaoka to Chief tanizawa.

.Let’s go. Kudou

.Sure

Chief Tanizawa and Kudou papa heads to the headquarters in quick pace.

Let’s go back to the lobby for now

Minaho-neesan said

You can go to Misuzu’s dressing room along with Michi-san

.Eh?

You have to report to Misuzu-san don’t you?

True.that’s right but.

While we’re at it, come anc take Megumi-chan and Mana-chan

Margo-san smiled at me.

Right. If they stay there all the time.they’ll only trouble Misuzu and Ruriko-san.

I’ll be the one to take care of Kuroko-chan!

Nei-san said while looking at Yukino who’s sticking to me.

Yukino’s been holding the hem of my suit all this time since the fight a while ago.

I.

Hey, Kuroko-chan, come here!

Nei-san pulled Yukino from me.

I’ll be with them so don’t worry.Michi-san can remain at the dressing room until chief Tanizawa’s subordinate comes in to guard Misuzu and Ruriko

.Roger

Margo-san gives her instructions.

Michi and I head to Misuzu and Ruriko-san’s dressing room.

There were a lot of girls who changed to their stage dress in the hallway already. Each of them have an adult woman wearing a suit. Oh, so this is what chief Tanizawa meant bybabysitting and guardinga while ago. True, they have a different feeling from the male guards gathered at the entrance of the dressing room. Though they’ve been properly trained.they don’t look like they’re specialized in combat ability. It’s needed to be a calm woman when you have to guard small children.

Master, this way

Michi walks abruptly.

Michi, you’ve come here before?

Yes. This symposium occurs every year. Our ladies have been using the same dressing room!

Each of the dressing room has a name printed on paper and pasted on the door.

Most of the performers are using a shared big room but. Misuzu and Ruriko-san have a private room assigned for them.

Excuse me!

When I speak out from the outside.

Yees?

Mana shows up from the inside.

Ah, Onii-chan! Michi-san too!

Mana happily looked at me.

Can we enter now?

Misuzu had to change her clothes.

I asked Mana just in case.

Wait a moment!

Mana goes back to the dressing room.

Misuzu-san, Onii-chan and Michi-san is here!

.Please come in!

I hear Misuzu’s voice from inside.

.Then, excuse me

Excuse me

Michi and I go in the dressing room together.

The dressing room was six tatami mats wide. There are two dressers having Misuzu and Ruriko-san sit in front of each. Both of them are already in their Japanese clothing.

Welcome

Ruriko-san greeted me.

Ah.Sorry to disturb you before your performance

Please don’t mind it. We’re still not on stage. Misuzu-san and my turn would be very late

.Speaking of which

Misuzu.what about stage rehearsal?

Misuzu smiled wryly

I’m waiting for the stage director to call me now. It seems that they’re pushing the overall time

.Will you make it?

There’s not much time left before the opening time though

At worst, they’ll make only light adjustments.and they might not have the time to check my dance from the beginning to end

Would you be fine in that situation? Yes.this is normal for us late performers

Misuzu seems to be used to this situation.

The headmaster dancing at the last always dance on main event without practice

Well.she has to check everyone’s practice carefully.

She’s considerably tired from that and she can’t confirm her own dance. But.the headmaster is a professional dancer. She has the capability to dance in front of the audience without problems no matter what situation it is.

Then.how was it?

MIsuzu asks about the result of the match between Michi and Kudou Haruka.

Un, what happened, Onii-chan?

Mana looks at my face in curiosity

Next to Misuzu, Megu’s also paying attention to me

Michi’s win.an overwhelming one

When I answered.Mana;

As expected.I thought it’s absolute!

Mana’s frolicking

No.it wasn’t on the level Mana imagines. It was a perfect victory at a ridiculous level.

Then.what happened to Haruka-san?

Ruriko-san asks me,

Haruka-san’s arms hurt a bit so she left early. Her mother’s with her.

As expected, I can’t tell that Michi broke Kudou Haruka’s arm.

It might be too stimulating for Ruriko-san and others.

Oh, her mother also belongs to Kouzuki security service!

Yoshiko-san calmly said.

Yes, they’re heading to the hospital with great care. Her four friends are accompanying her

To be accurate, the four of them are also sent to the hospital by Michi but I won’t speak of the details.

Then.about Ruriko-san’s guard after this

Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san’s face turned serious as they listen to me.

Chief Tanizawa seems to have sent Fujimiya-san

My, Fujimiya-san?

Ruriko-san’s surprised.

She’s too good to be my guard!

Ah, he said something about no other women can be a guard this time

Anyway.I speak about what I know.

Then that can’t be helped but.I somehow feel sorry for her, don’t you think Yoshiko?

Yes, Ruriko-sama!

The two ladies look at each other.

.Uhm, Misuzu-sama

Michi speaks to her master

What’s wrong.Michi?

Michi looks straight to Misuzu.

But she’s nervous she can’t speak.

Michi has decided to devote her life to her masters, only Misuzu and me.

Instead.I reported to Misuzu.

.Is that so? She swore her loyalty to Danna-sama and me

Michi.

Yes.I’ll devote my life to the two of you!

Michi speaks in a hoarse voice.

Then.she’s leaving Kouzuki security service

A long as she’s a member of Kouzuki security service.

She would be bound by the chain of command of the company Since she swore her allegiance only to Misuzu, she won’t listen to her boss.that kind of selfishness won’t be allowed.

Right.that’s way better

Misuzu consents

For the time being.on the outside, I will be affiliated with Kuromori-sama

Michi avoids to use the organization nameKuromoribecause we’re in front of Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san.

Understood.

Misuzu smiles happily.

Well done making up your mind. Danna-sama and I will be loving you a lot okay.

Misuzu seems to be satisfied from the bottom of her heart that she got Misuzu free from the hands of her family and Kouzuki security service.

On that topic.Misuzu-sama

Michi looks up at Misuzu.

Actually.earlier, I have committed a blunder of not keeping Master’s order a while ago

.Eh?

That happened?

Master.Yoshi-kun?

Megu’s surprised at Michi’s change.

Yes, he is my master.

Michi looks at me.

Michi.explain what blunder you have done in detail

Misuzu ends the talk aboutMaster

She’s worried that Megu will feel strange jealousy against Michi.1 Michi.

Yes. Master has given me an order tofight my sister with the intent of killingbut.I have misunderstood it as an order tokill

.Err?

That thing happened right.

Fortunately.before I cut the enemy’s throat, mother has intervened the match.and Master has corrected my misunderstanding at that time

No.it’s not like a big problem happened. Kudou Haruka’s injured but alive!

I tell Michi in panic.

No! I’ve misunderstood Master’s orders and made a mistake of attacking for a certain death!

Michi.why are you saying that?

I don’t get what’s Michi’s intention.

Understood.Michi

Misuzu grins.

In short.you want to be punished by Danna-sama?

Me.punish Michi?

.Yes. If possible

Michi bows her head to me.

Danna-sama.what kind of punishment should you give Michi?

Misuzu whispers to me

.I

Michi.what kind of punishment do you think is appropriate?

Because I’m not replying, Misuzu asked what Michi hopes for.

Michi.

.My butt

.Butt?

Please beat my butt violently

.Beat?

It what meaning?

She’s asking to have her butt slapped strongly!

Misuzu tells me with an aroused face.

1. lol, sasuga Megu, jelly of everything

Chapter 226

Slap Michi’s ass?

me?

Michi wishes for Danna-sama to do it, is that correct?

Misuzu smiles.

Yes, I’d like to be punished in front of Misuzu-sama

Michi said with a red face.

At that moment, I understood everything. This isn’tpunishment MIchi wants areward!

Ruriko-san. No matter how trivial it is, a guard shouldn’t make a mistake. However, Michi’s still young.I think that hitting her butt will be enough as a punishment

Misuzu speaks to the surprised Ruriko-san.

It seems that it’s Misuzu’s strategy to show Michi’s foolery in front of Ruriko-san.

.uhm.Should Yoshiko and I go out?

Ruriko-san asked embarrassed.

No, if possible, I’d like Ruriko-san to watch. Ruriko-san doesn’t have a retainer but Yoshiko-san for now.there’s no need to worry for Yoshiko-san to fail because she does everything well but.

Please don’t be absurd

Yoshiko-san denies it in panic.

I am still inexperienced in my work.

That’s not true. Misuzu knows how much loyal Yoshiko-san to Ruriko-san. But.Ruriko-san will be succeeding Kouzuki house someday and in the future, you will have a lot of people following you other than Yoshiko. Yoshiko-san isn’t someone who can do anything. I think there will be people who will make mistakes True.I don’t think that I will be Ruriko-sama’sretainerforever

Yoshiko-san answered with a puzzled look.

The lord must give firsthand punishment to his retainer who made a mistake. Furthermore, unless you punish them secretly so they won’t be dishonored in front of others, it would just be pitiful for the punished one. You have to give them punishment and make them regain oneself.it shows the Lord’s expectation and love .Yes, I see

Ruriko-san’s drawn by Misuzu’s plausible speech.

Therefore.for a young girl like Michi, I thinkbutt slappingis a proper punishment. Ruriko-san will also have a time to punish someone soon so please observe. Michi, do you mind?

Not at all.please have a look

Michi also tells Ruriko-san.

If you say so.then I will take a look!2

Ruriko-san answered with tension.

Let’s do it.okay, Yoshiko?

If Ruriko-sama says so.

Yoshiko-san’s also being pulled by Misuzu’s strange logic.

Megumi-san and Mana-san are myfamily.so you will watch Michi’s punishment as a matter of fact, right?

Misuzu speaks to Megu and Mana.

This is a private punishment.please refrain from telling others, for Michi’s honor. And, when thebutt slappingended, Michi’s sin will be forgiven. Everyone, is that okay?

Misuzu looks at the people in the room.

Un, got it! We won’t tell anyone that Michi-san was beaten!

Mana said with a bright face.

I will be watching properly too

Megu answered with an embarrased face.

Then, Michi.how many times do you want your butt be beaten by Danna-sama?

Michi glanced at me.

.Ten times, please

My, isn’t that too much?

Misuzu rejects it immediately.

Danna-sama, please hit her with all your might. If you hit her ten times then Michi’s butt would swell!

I don’t mind if it swells!

Michi said but.

You can’t.I’ll allow only five times

Misuzu said.

Danna-sama is very kind.he would feel sorry if he does beat your butt for ten times

.No

I’m just surprised by this development. To be honest, I don’t think that five or ten times does matter.

Then, please do it with all your might five times

Michi looks at me.

her eyes are moist and hot.

Michi.you’re saying it wrong

Misuzu guides her further.

At this situation.you have to pleadmake it hurt

Michi swallows her saliva.

.master. please make it hurt

.I

Got it.Michi

Now that it comes to this.there’s no choice but to do it.

Michi.raise up your skirt and show your butt

Misuzu orders her.

MIchi slowly rolls up her prestigious middle girl’s school skirt. Michi’s thin legs. Michi’s skin is transparent white. This fifteen year old girl.there’s a red whip and electric baton, tied with black leather on her thighs that has no muscles yet. It’s like a garter belt. Michi’s panty today is black. The flesh of the third year middle school girl wearing a black underwear creates an immoral feeling. Michi points out her round ass to me.

.Get on all fours like a dog

Yes, Misuzu-sama

Michi makes a dog pose while sticking out her ass.

Raise your face and look at the mirror. You can see Danna-sama in the mirror, can’t you?

.I do

Michi and my eyes met in the mirror.

Michi’s face is completely enchanted.pleased from the punishment.

.Please

un

I get close to Michi’s ass.

What are you doing.Michi!

Misuzu’s scolding voice echoes!

what?

There’s no way you’d have your butt slapped by Danna-sama like that

.Eh?

Misuzu.what are you talking about?

You have to take off your panties! It won’t be a punishment unless you feel it with your skin directly!

.Take off her panties?

Then.I’m going to beat her raw ass?

i’m very sorry!

Hurry up and take it off! i’ll do it immediately!

Michi reached out for her own black panties.

Then lowered it smoothly.

Take it off properly!

yes1

Michi takes off her panties while in all fours.

White ass.a small anus and a hairless pussy is clearly visible. Only those two were colored salmon pink.

i took it off!

Michi’s black panties are rolled up to her right ankle

Danna-sama, please confirm the feel of Michi’s butt first.

.What?

You won’t know where to hit unless you touch it you know?

.I

Michi, I’ll touch your butt

Please enjoy it.

My hands touch Michi’s ass.

.Haa!

Michi’s sensitive.

A woman’s ass feels chilly. A smooth ass without any scratches. Michi’s ass has a soft elasticity like raw rubber.

.Ah, aah!

Michi’s face seems to be painful.

Michi.look

Misuzu whispers to Michi’s ears.

I’m watching.Misuzu-sama!

Is this a lesbian play where they don’t mind me?

No, I just have to enjoy the feeling of Michi’s ass for now. I rub her ass meat.

Ah.it’s embarrassing.it’s embarrassing, Misuzu-sama

Don’t look only at me.take a look at Danna-sama’s face in the mirror

Michi’s eyes are looking at me.

please do it right away!

Her passionate eyes look at me.

please make it hurt!

.I

I grabbed Michi’s ass once again. Raised my hand to the fullest!

.Let’s go!

.I swing down my hand!

It cut the wind and slapped Michi’s ass!

.Bachii!

.Hyaa!

Michi shed tears of delight from the first one!

.Second!

.Bachii!

.aahn!

My hand mark raises from Michi’s white butt!

.Third!

.Bashii!

.Ouuchh!

Michi’s skin turns sweaty.

.Four!

.Bishii!

.Hii!

I feel a hot liquid from the butt I beat up.

Michi’s love nectar is dripping from her slit,

.Fivee!

.Bashii!

.Kyaan!

The last blow digs into Michi’s ass!

I pushed my hand on it. After enjoying Michi’s butt for the last time, I let go of my hand. Michi’s butt is swollen red. There’s love nectar dripping from her vagina. She flopped and fell down on the floor.

See, five times was right isn’t it!

Misuzu smiled at Michi

.Misuzu-samaa?

Michi’s lightly absentminded.

Danna-sama.please embrace Michi tightly

Misuzu told me.

Michi has endured the punishment so please praise her

.I

.Michi

I embrace the small body that fell down on the floor.

A delicate small body.

You did well.that’s amazing, Michi

.Masteer!

Michi’s tense heart relaxed all at once.

Michi cried out in my chest.

.As expected, she was holding back

Misuzu said.

.i see. Her confrontation with her sister. MIchi has destroyed her sister’s body and pride. In spite of her mother’s strict order tonever win against her sister, she obeyed my orders. Afterwards.Michi remained expressionless as she bathe in her mother’s cold words. This fifteen years old girl pushed all this emotions into her small body and endured it. Then.it spouted after the punishment.

Michi.we’ll be together forever!

I embraced her small body tighty.

Michi, Misuzu and me will stay together. I won’t let you go!

.Uwaa!

Michi cries.

Loudly. The thoughts she pushed aside turned into overflowing tears. Michi has also lost her true family.

Yoshi-kun.I’m here too

Megu smiled.

That’s right. Onii-chan. Mana’s here together with you!

Mana comes to us.

.Michi-oneechan!

Mana talks to Michi.

Michi looks at Mana in surprise.

Mana’s still in second year so I can call you Onee-chan, can I?

.i

Michi’s confused though she’s crying.

I’ll call youMichi-san.but call meMegumi-oneesanokay?

Megu said

i.I am Misuzu-sama’s guard.

Misuzu speaks.

That’s right. Michi’s my guard.myfamily!

.family

You swore to protect me with your life didn’t you?

Yes.I swore

Michi answers while still embraced by me.

We’re together for the rest of time.isn’t that whatfamilyis?

.Is this okay?

Michi asks.

What does Michi want?

Misuzu asks Michi in reverse.

i.

The warrior girl who only knows the wordsLordVassalLoyaltyshe found herself at loss.

.Then.

You’re already afamily member Mana’s yourlittle sisterMegu is yourOneesan.Live with that thought

I order Michi as her lord.

yes.certainly

In the end.this girl got some fierce fighting ability but her heart is weak,

She always need someone to support her from behind. If she’s not pushed then she won’t move. Michi is a useless girl unless I watch over her.

If you have trouble or you don’t understand something then you can consult me anytime. Michi doesn’t need to worry alone anymore

.yes

Michi spill hot tears.

Michi’s such a crybaby

I lick Michi’s tears.

It’s salty and a slightly bitter.

Danna-sama!

Misuzu smilingly brought her face to us.

Then she licked Michi’s corner of the eye.

Misuzu-sama?

Michi’s surprised.

You don’t need to hold back in front of us. Michi can cry and laugh in front of us

Un.we’re family after all

Somehow.

Misuzu and I look like a married couple and Michi’s our daughter. Our cute small daughter.

We’re here too!

Mana interrupts the good atmosphere.

.Michi-oneechan!

Mana smiled at Michi.

.Michi

I’ll cherish you a lot.I’ll take care of you.Mana-san

But still, she’s being formal to herlittle sister

Well, she’s talking like that to her actual sister too. This might be the normal for Michi.

.It’s about time to let go

Michi told me with her eyes swollen from tears.

I’m already fine

She told me bashfully.

Ah, sure.

When I tried to release Michi’s body.

Michi, that’s not how you say it

Misuzu’s guidance comes again.

It’s wrong to order your master

.I’m very sorry Danna-sama.does it feel good to embrace Michi’s body?

I answered honestly.

Yeah, it does

Then, please hug her until you’re satisfied.Michi’s body is for Danna-sama after all

Misuzu smiles.

.Michi!

I embraced Michi’s body once again.

Michi too.embrace Danna-sama’s body

.Yes

Michi’s hands goes through my back then embraced me tightly.

How is it? Embracing and being embraced feels good doesn’t it

Yes.Misuzu-sama. But .What’s wrong, Michi?

Michi answered.

It feels so good that this might become a habbit!

Misuzu laughed.

It’s okay, make it a habbit. We’refamilyafter all. I also love embracing Danna-sama!

Mana too! I love being embraced by Onii-chan! Me too.I’m addicted to it

.I

Come at me!

I spread my left arm widely while embracing Michi on my right.

.Yes!

Misuzu and Mana jumped to my chest!

Megu embraced me from the back,

.Everyone’s the same!

Misuzu mutters.

.Before long.

We let go of each other. Everyone seems to have regained their energy. Smiling, they’re all cheerful. Michi who’s always expressionless is showing a refreshed face.

Master.I actually would like to consult about something

Michi asked me.

Sure.what is it?

I would like Master to embrace me Didn’t we just hug each other a lot earlier? .Not in that meaning

.Ah

I’d like to offer it while Misuzu-sama watches

.Err

Offer it, she means. Michi’s puirty. Megu and Mana stares at me.

You.that kind of thing.

I was ordered to make a consultation anytime

True.I did say that but.

Very well, let’s make an opportunity tonight.

.Misuzu?

In exchange.it’ll only be Danna-sama for the rest of your life

.Understood MIchi.how many people do you want to teachKudou style ancient martial arts?

Misuzu asked indirectly.

If possible.I’d like three

Then ask Danna-sama, not me Yes.Master. Will three be okay?

Michi asks me with her ears turned bright rerd.

.Give birth to three children? No.If Michi wants to bear children then there’s no helping it.

it can’t be helped

I answered.

Onii-chan, Mana would like one girl

Yoshi-kun, me too.

.Err

.I’m moved

While I was troubled, I hear a voice from behind.

When I turned around, Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san are crying?

Misuzu-san.it’s wonderful. What a wonderfulmaster-servantlove!

Ruriko-san’s been born at the heart of Kouzuki family.

Her grandfather’s the head of the family and her father’s the eldest son. Having no other family.since the age of three, Yoshiko-san who’s three years older is herretainer For Ruriko-san.all of human relationship ismaster slave

The love of a vassalfamilyis like this.

The scales have fallen off my eyes

Yoshiko-san said.

These two doesn’t know the various patterns of people’s relationship. ThelordRuriko-san andvassalYoshiko-san, they’re the only two in their world, isolated this whole time. These two grew up with only little contact besides themselves. The exception is KouzukiKakkaand Misuzu only. Even thehugswe did just now.they only understand it on the terms of master-servant relationship.

If Misuzu-sama and Kuromori-sama marries.it’ll really create a wonderfulfamily!

Ruriko-san thinks that I’m a man from a famous house somewhere.

Chapter 227

Ruriko-san, do you also want to embrace Danna-sama?

Misuzu made a proposal

Pardon? Me and Kuromori-sama?

Ruriko-san’s surprised.

Hug, a hug!

Misuzu said with a smile.

In the west, since ancient times, it’s an act of showing affection

.However

Ruriko-san’s puzzled

This is Japan.and hugging a man is somewhat.

Yoshiko-san who’s her retainer is also confused.

He’s my Danna-sama.1 He will become Ruriko-san’s relative so there should be no problem doing a dear hug

Misuzu attacks logically.

Ruriko-san, you will be meeting a lot of foreigners as the representative of Kouzuki house from now on.therefore, you should be accustomed to hugs starting today

She wants Ruriko-san and I to hug by all means.

It’s completely fine! Onii-chan’s not scary!

Mana jumps to my chest.

It can’t be helped.I hug her and pat her head.

Ehehe.Onii-chan, I love you!

Megu followed.

Yoshi-kun.me toe

Sure, Megu-oneechan, here!

Mana lets go and I embraced Megu this time.

.Stroke my back

Answering Megu’s wish, I pat her head while hugging her.

Un.I love it when Yoshi-kun does this

Megu looks at Michi.

Michi-san too.you want it again too, don’t you?

Ah, uhm.if possible

Michi speaks bashfully.

Yoshi-kun.do it

Megu switched with Michi.

.Michi

Michi’s body is really small.

i.I love being embraced filled with strength

Un, got it

I embraced Michi’s body to my heart’s content

Michi leaked out a hugehaa sigh

.Being embraced by master makes me feel relieved

.I

Michi’s so cute !

She looks dignified when in combat however.

Embracing Michi like this, she’s cute like a Japanese doll. Her white skin and black hair.big eyes and well shaped nose. She’s quite a beauty.

i.am not cute!

Michi says as her body tremble in my arms.

Michi.you must not deny your lord’s words. At such times, you must answer with: Thank you very much, I’ll stay as a cute woman so please love me a lot

Misuzu’s guidance enters.

i’m very sorry!

Michi looks up at me with her red face.

.Thank you for calling me cute. Please love me a lot from now on

.Sure

I stroke Michi’s hair.

Michi stretched her spine feeling confortable. .She’s like a cat.

Michi.it’s about time we switch

Misuzu said.

I also want to be hugged by Danna-sama.

yes!

Michi released her body.

Misuzu goes to my chest.

.Danna-sama

.Misuzu

Misuzu’s wearing a beautiful stage Kimono.

The Kimono smells insence.

.I will be dancing only for Danna-sama tonight

Yeah, do your best I love you. Danna-sama!

Misuzu hugs me.

.I hold Misuzu tightly. Misuzu’s silk clothes creates a rustling sound.

Ufufu.Danna-sama’s gotten energetic

Misuzu smiled at me.

Then, she looked at Ruriko-san.

What do you think, Ruriko-san About us hugging Danna-sama? It doesn’t feel scary at all does it?

Ruriko-san.

Yes. Kuromori-sama’s affection with everyone has been conveyed

Danna-sama is a very gentle person. He respects me and other women.he won’t force himself to embrace a woman’s body That is.even I understood that. Kurormori-sama embraced everyone gently

It’s seems that’s how Ruriko-san sees it.

I was just embracing everyone as usual however.

Therefore.I think Danna-sama would be the best way to practice hugging with Ruriko-san

Misuzu attacks.

Ruriko-san’s already 15.when meeting up with foreigners, you really need to give them a hug.

What should we do.Yoshiko?

Ruriko-san asks the girl three years older than her.

.I don’t know

Ever since six years old, she’s always been with Ruriko-san.Yoshiko-san also doesn’t have any experience with men.

Ruriko-san, have you ever hugged someone?

Misuzu asks.

I had with grandfather. Never with father. Yoshiko, we do hug sometimes

Ruriko-san answers

At night, when I feel lonely.I sleep embracing Yoshiko

Really.KouzukiKakkaare keeping these girls in quarantine.

Have you hugged a young man?

.Never Then, isn’t Danna-sama the best person for practice hugging?

Misuzu is trying to promote me.

That might be the case however

Ruriko-san’s confused.

Then, first.how about Yoshiko-san give Danna-sama a hug first?

Misuzu changes targets.

me?

Yoshiko-san’s puzzled.

Yoshiko-san is Ruriko-san’s retainer, you will be meeting up a lot more foreigners from now on. I think there will be occasions on parties where you will be asked for a hug!

KouzukiKakkahas thoroughly refused the opportunity of these two coming in contact with men thoroughly.

Then, it won’t change from now on. However, Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san thinks that they’re still children so they only think that they’re not called for adult gatherings. If they grow up a bit more.they had to attend parties. Misuzu knows their feelings. Misuzu herself has been on the same position as Ruriko-san, being isolated from men.

After Ruriko-san’s social debut, Yoshiko-san will be coming together too, won’t you?Yoshiko-san’s already an adult, you can’t do without giving a hug

Misuzu intends to start with Yoshiko-san

I don’t like to debut in the society

Ruriko-san said.

Staying in a world with only Yoshiko-san is with her.it must be frightening for her to go out to the adult world.

You do know that the successor of the Kouzuki house isn’t allowed to have such selfishness!

Misuzu looks at Ruriko-san.

Well.I do know but

Yoshiko-san rouse herself as she look at Ruriko-san who has a gloomy face.

Understood.then I will try to experience hugs

Yoshiko-san looked at me nervously.

This is for Ruriko-sama’s sake

Yoshiko-san comes to me.

Yoshiko-san’s wearing a purple kimono. She walks in small steps. Her skirt’s never thrown into disorder.this one’s also an Ojou-sama. If I recall, she’s 18 isn’t she? Looking at her closely.this person’s quite a beauty.

please!

Her body’s stiff.trembling.

Excuse me then

I embrace Yoshiko-san gently.

.Ah

Yoshiko-san leaked out a small voice.

.Don’t be scared, it’ll be fine

I whisper in Yoshiko-san’s ears

.yes

Yoshiko-san’s tension doesn’t go away.

Yoshiko-san.take a deep breath

Yes? Deep breath.breathe in

Yoshiko-san breathes in deeply.

I can feel her chest expanding.

Okay.then slowly breathe out

.Fuu

Yoshiko-san breathes out.

Not yet.breathe all of the air out of your lungs

She’s nervous so she can only breathe in so little and can’t exhale.

Therefore, I made her conscious of deep breathing.

Then breathe in deep.okay, breathe out. Let it all out.

After repeating deep breaths several times.

Yoshiko-san’s body has gotten soft. The hardness of her body is taken away.

Okay.looking good

I stroked her black hair on her back.

When her tension came off.Yoshiko-san’s flesh comes through clearly I can’t tell her chest that’s crushed by her kimono however. This one’s got a big breast. Her ass is well developed too. That said, her waist is thin and firm. As expected of an 18 year old.her body’s on the verge of becoming an adult. .No no. Evil thoughts will come up and be transmitted to Yoshiko-san. I should only concentrate on gently hugging Yoshiko-san’s soul. Her frightened soul hugging a boy for the first time.

.Yoshiko-san

.Yes Yoshiko-san’s body is so soft, warm.it feels good

I whisper in Yoshiko-san’s ears.

Kuromori-sama’s body.it’s solid, it is embracing my body firmly

Before I noticed, Yoshiko-san’s body has completely relaxed.

She’s entrusting her body to me.

I never thought that being embraced by a man feels this peaceful!

Yoshiko-san said.Misuzu;

Danna-sama’s very good at it. No man is as gentle as that when hugging

Yes.I think so too. Kuromori-sama’s kindness is being transmitted to me.

The girl who’s been forbidden to make contact with men until 18 years old gives her impression on her first physical contact.

Yoshiko-san.it’s about time Ruriko-san take her turn

Misuzu said.

Ah.Yes. I’m sorry

Yoshiko-san lets go of me in panic.

If you want to hug again then you can ask Danna-sama anytime. Danna-sama will be giving you an embrace anytime

Misuzu’s words.

Ah, yes.thank you very much

Her face turned red as she answered.

Now.it’s Ruriko-san’s turn

Ruriko-san’s nervous.

I.I

What’s wrong? Ruriko-san? .Uhm, after all

Is she embarrassed or scared?

Ruriko-san’s fidgeting.

Danna-sama.please

Misuzu smiles.

.Un If Ruriko-san won’t come then I should go to Ruriko-san

don’t come.i’m scared

Ruriko-san’s frightened.

.Look at my face

Ruriko-san’s face sayEh?

Look at my face

The big eyes of the 15 year old girl looks up at me.

.Are you scared?

.A bit

For a third year middle school girl.a man might be scary for her.

I’m not scary

I said.

No.it’s scary

Ruriko-san’s trembling

It’s not scary

Misuzu comes close then kisses my cheek in front of Ruriko-san’s eyes.

Yes, it’s not scary

Megu comes and kissed my other cheek

Un, not scary!

Mana kisses my ear.

Yes.Master isn’t scary at all

Michi kisses my neck.

My fourwomenturned to Ruriko-san’s back.

We’re here with you. It’s not scary!

Misuzu whispers to Ruriko-san’s ears.

.Then I’ll hug you, Ruriko-san

I spread my arms widely.

And embraced the small frightened body. I hug Ruriko-san closely. Misuzu and others embraced me and Ruriko-san.

.Ruriko-san’s heart is throbbing

The delicate body embraced tightly.a fierce heartbeat comes through.

yes.I!

I caress Ruriko-san’s nervous back.

.Hii!

Ruriko-san trembled.

She’s very sensitive.

.Leave it to me

I whisper to Ruriko-san’s ear.

.Leave everything?

Yes.Ruriko-san’s mind and body.to me. .But

Ruriko-san’s scared

.Ruriko-san

I said.

Yes?

I will protect Ruriko-san .Eh? Misuzu and I.myfamilywill make Ruriko-san happy what are you talking about?

Ruriko-san doesn’t seem to understand it

I’ll concentrate to the sound of Ruriko-san’s heartbeat. Ruriko-san, listen to my heart

.Kuromori-sama’s heart? Yes.press your ears to my chest and listen

Ruriko-san presses her ear to my chest.

.Dokun, dokun, it says

Yes, it’s because we’re living I.it’s my first time to hear the sound of other people’s heart

I pat Ruriko-san’s hair gently.

Slowly, gently. Bit by bit.Ruriko-san’s body’s stiffness is coming off. She’s relaxing. It’s not my strength alone. The warmth of the four body hugging Ruriko and me. Ruriko-san’s tension loosens.

Ruriko-san’s heartbeat has gotten calmer!

Mana said while embracing Ruriko-san’s back.

Danna-sama and Ruriko-san’s heartbeat are in sync.

Ruriko-san’s surprised from what Misuzu said.

.Me?

Yes.we’re becoming one right now

Our heartbeats overlap.

Just like one creature.

.It feels strange

Ruriko-san said.

I.I feel very close to Kuromori-sama

We’re embracing each other.

Misuzu-sama, and everyone else too.

Misuzu speaks to Yoshiko-san.

Yoshiko-san, want to join in too?

.Me? That’s right. Let’s all become one!

Megu reaches out for Yoshiko-san.

Now, come in!

Yoshiko-san enters to surround Ruriko-san and me

Listen to everyone’s heartbeat

Misuzu said.

Let’s all pile out heartbeats and let us become one

.Un Understood .Certainly

Mana, Megu, Michi.follows Misuzu’s instructions.

Pressing ears to each other’s body.we listen to the heartbeats.

L-Like this?

Yoshiko-san joined in too

Mana, your pulse is a bit fast.

Megu tells Mana.

Eh, what should I do?

Take a deep breath. You’ll feel calmer. Just remember the feeling of love from the other side

Misuzu tells Mana.

Yoshiko-san’s heartbeat, I think it’s slightly larger.

Michi said.

i’m sorry.

Please don’t apologize.leave your mind and body to us .Yes

.Before long

Ah.it overlapped

Un.our heart rings on the same rhythm

Our heartbeat’s synchronized.

So we can do this kind of thing too!

Ruriko-san’s impressed.

Yes, we have become one. Therefore.Ruriko-san

Misuzu speaks.

You are no longer alone with Yoshiko-san!

.Yes? We are all yourfamily .That is If someone had wicked thoughts.our heartbeats won’t overlap

True.Misuzu is right.

We do love Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san after all!

Ruriko-san.

I.grandfather told me not to believe people’s words. To be careful with kind words especially.

I continue to stroke Ruriko-san’s hair with the same rhythm as before.

Therefore.I don’t understand words very well But, this heartbeat.this warmth

Ruriko-san puts her cheeks to my chest.

Everyone.is myfamily, isn’t it?

I once again embraced Ruriko-san’s small body tightly.

Ruriko-san also hugs back. Misuzu, Mana, Megu, Michi.Yoshiko-san too. Ruriko-san and I are being embraced from outside,

What should I do?

.Ruriko-san?

I might come to love being hugged by Kuromori-sama

.Then I’ll give you hugs anytime you want But.Kuromori-sama is Misuzu-sama’s lover. It’s fine, Ruriko-san.we’re sisters after all. I don’t mind it at all. .But

Experiencing physical contact with a man for the first time.

Ruriko-san’s heart is shaking. Misuzu’sRuriko-san’s invitation planis going well

Please practice hugging a lot. Danna-sama and I will always be with you.

.Is this okay? In exchange, it’ll be a secret. It’ll be misunderstood when seen by others.you can only practice with Danna-sama.okay? .Yes, understood After hugs would be a kiss! .Eh, Misuzu-san?

Misuzu smiles.

You don’t know?In the west, you have to kiss when greeting people. You have to practice kissing too!

Misuzu’s lesson is escalating further.

but!

It’s practice. It’s fine. Misuzu’s Danna-sama will be with you properly! We’ll show you a good example!

Misuzu tries to kiss me.

.At that time

.Konkon!

The door of our dressing room was knocked.

.It’s Fujimiya

A dignified woman’s voice.

fujimiya-san? .O-Oh right. Chief Tanizawa said he would send a new escort to Ruriko-san!

Excuse me!

Fujimiya-san’s a woman so she opened the dressing room calmly.

shit! I’m still hugging Ruriko-san! The other girls are surrounding us! At this situation. how should I explain this?

.?!!!

The tall woman who opened the door and entered the room.

She’s looking at us in confusion.

What.is going on?

At that moment.

Megu shouted.

.Fight!

Megu, Mana and I shouted at the same time

.ooh!

Fight! Ooh! Fight! Ooh! Fight! Oh, ooh!

Then, we let go of each other!

Halfway, Misuzu and Michi also participated. Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san were stunned.

everyone’s psyching up before the actual performance!

Megu tells Fujimiya-san.

As expected of an athlete.

1. This can make Misuzu look possessive but it doesn’t mean that way, she’s saying that Yoshida’s her husband, well that’s what Danna-sama means when Misuzu speaks so please remember that

Chapter 228

I’m Fujimiya Reika. I’m appointed as Ruriko-sama and Misuzu-sama’s guard.my best regards

Kouzuki security service’s top ace, Fujimiya-san. As if, she’s dressed as a male role in Takarazuka. She’s cross-dressed as a British gentleman. Gray suit, brown best ten.blue necktie. Brown leather shoes. Though she’s a slender and tall lady.her male costume suits her well. Far from being strange.it upgrades her charm. This suit must be also a high quality article. I can tell by just looking at it. It’s perfectly fit to her body.it’s customade. Her short hair is beautifully combed. An amazing beauty. On top of that.she has elegance and grace. Standing with her spine stretched out.it conveys the lightness and toughness of her body. This person.she’s strong. She’s having a brown leather gloves in her hand. Then.she’s holding a thick cane.

I’m honored to have Fujimiya-san with us

Ruriko-san said with a smile.

I’m sorry.there’s an information that there’s a troublesome enmity that might infiltrate.

Fujimiya-san said calmly.

Is that so?

Yoshiko-san makes a worried face.

Please be relieved.My team is already mobilized

Fujimiya-san smiled.

Yes. Fujimiya-san came here so there’s nothing to worry about

Ruriko-san answered.

However, my body is only one so.I’m very sorry but Ruriko-sama, Misuzu-sama, please stay together for a while, Of course, Yoshiko-san too

Fujimiya-san clearly distinguishes Misuzu and Ruriko-san assamaand Yoshiko-san assan

Her subjects to guard will only be Misuzu and Ruriko-san.Yoshiko-san will only after it.

It’s possible that the enmity approaches Using Yoshiko-san. If you need anything, my group will accompany you so Yoshiko-san, please stay by Ruriko-sama’s side

.Certainly

Yoshiko-san replied.

After that.Fujimiya-san ignored us and looked at Michi.

You are MIsuzu-sama’s guard?

Michi lowers her head.

I’m Kudou Michi.

Fujimiya-san looked at Michi’s state.

Hmm.your posture is good. I can tell that you’re properly trained. Your grace is also good.you’re raised well!

Michi was analyzed by just looking.

This isn’t from Mr. Kudou’s education but from MIsuzu-sama’s guidance

Fujimiya-san made a conclusion.

Yes. Michi has enrolled in our school as my guard. She tries to be on the top class so she can be by my side as much as possible

Misuzu said.

Misuzu was the one who put MIchi on the super ojou-sama school.

She reached the first-class since she was smallif she’s not mingling with the first class people, she won’t master the real grace

Misuzu really loves this three years younger warrior girl.

Mr. Kudou is someone who posses a top-notch skill.but unfortunately, he lacks elegance. If he didn’t have that shortcoming, then he won’t be under the table but the top of the surface

Fujimiya-san said in regret.

I’m very sorry. Father loves working behind the scenes

Michi answered bashfully.

You have to negotiate with people hard to handle behind the scenes so Mr. Kudou can naturally take such attitude. If you serve for that long, you’ll become a person with a vulgar behavior

Therefore, I pulled out Michi from Kudou-san at early stage.

Misuzu answers.

Kudou-san has taught her only the practice of techniques but.majority of her daily life is with me

I think that’s an adequate judgement. Grace is something cultivated by every day life

Fujimiya-san said.

Surely, in three years, you will grow into a wonderful guard.you’re growing up to be an outstanding talent appropriate for chief Tanizawa’s eyes

No, Michi won’t belong to Kouzuki security service

Misuzu declared clearly.

Michi will always be my exclusive guard

Yes.I will serve only Misuzu-sama

Fujimiya-san.

Is that so? That’s regrettable. Belonging to Kouzuki security service means pledging loyalty to Kouzki house.certainly, it might be necessary to become a vassal only for Misuzu-sama. Ruriko-sama has Yoshiko-san with her.

Yes, therefore.Misuzu needs Michi

Ruriko-san has Yoshiko-san who’s three years old older than her as herretainer

On the contrary, Misuzu has Michi who’s three years younger as herguard

If something happened, you’re free to consult me anytime. Even if you’re not a member of Kouzuki security service.you’re a junior who protects Kouzuki house

Fujimiya-san told Michi gently.

Eat more and make your body grow more. Your endurance is still lacking as of now, isn’t it?

Yes.Thank you very much. Uhm, Fujimiya-sama. .What is it? Could you give me some training at least once? .Me? Yes. I would like to see the techniques of theIce SwordswomanFujimiya-sama

Michi bows her head to Fujimiya-san.

I do prefer my other alias

Fujimiya-san grips her cane firmly.

This isn’t even mentioned.when I have the time, I take as much enemies as possible. For some reason, I was called Beat to death Swordswoman.I’ll show you all my skills

.Beat to death Swordswoman

No way.does she beat up with that stick?

Fujimiya-san’s a first class fencer.and yet why do you not use swords?

Misuzu asks.

Swords aren’t suitable for the guards this era

Fujimiya-san answered.

When you cut bodies with sword, it’ll spurt blood.when that happens, it’ll hinder your combat with multiple humans. There’s blood sticking to the sword too, it’ll worsen the condition of the blade. If you swing it a lot of times, no matter what sword it is, it’ll chip, break, or bend. Above all, fighting with sword is terrible. It’s not something you should show to a subject who’s from a good family i see.

Fujimiya-san looks at her stick.

Canes originated in the west as a substitute to a sword. In the first place, it’s a weapon. However, in modern times, carrying around a stick isn’t considered armed. That’s the advantages of the cane. It also looks elegant too.

Fujimiya-san kisses the handle of the cane lightly.

This cane is customade.it weighs three kilograms. It’s made of special alloy so it’ll never break or bend. I love the striking power of this cane!

.Striking power

Even if the enmity is wearing a bulletproof vest.if I strike them with my stick, they’ll receive a fracture and be made impossible to fight. If they’re repelled quickly.then you can defeat the enmity without even the subject noticing

Therefore she’s theBeat to death Swordsman

We are guards. If the assassin uses firearm then there’s no need to fear bloodstream.we have to avoid the blood flow thoroughly. The blood of the subject are ourselves.furthermore, we shouldn’t let the enmity’s blood flow. Blood seen by our subjects to guard means shame in our work. Therefore, I put everything in the blow. There is nothing I can’t break with my full power strike Fujimiya-san said.

I see, the thought of doing everything gracefully.is fundamentally different from Kudou papa. Kudou papa looks like he’s just kicking everything around. True, Kudou-papa can’t be trusted to guard a famous person.

.By the way, Fujimiya-san

Misuzu said.

Why are you not greeting the people important to me?

Speaking of which.

Fujimiya-san didn’t greet me, Megu or Mana. Or rather.we’re completely ignored. .Could this beー Is this because we’re fromKuromori? Fujimiya obviously knows our identity.

Fujimiya-san.you became my guard, right?

Misuzu speaks strongly.

Then.I think it’s reasonable for you to greet my dear friends

.Fujimiya-san.

Excuse my impoliteness. I’m Fujimiya Reika of Kouzuki security service!

She bows her head to us.

Fujimiya-san’s a first class professional guard. Even if she despisesKuromorifrom the bottom of her heart. She will follow the order of one of her masters, Misuzu

.Kuromori Kounosuke

I greeted with my alias.

Either way, Fujimiya-san knows my true identity. But, I decided to declare myself as a member ofKuromori

Yoshida Megumi

Yoshida Mana

Both of them bowed.

The namesYamamineandShirasakacan’t be spoken in this place.

I think there’s a lot of things happening but please.protect Misuzu and Ruriko-san

I told Fujimiya-san.

Please leave it to me

Fujimiya-san answered.

Then.we hear a knock.

.Yes?

Yoshiko-san answers.

It’s Kanako

.Kanako-san.

Come in

Ruriko-san answered, the door opened.

Kanako-san shows herself.

Thank you for the wait. Misuzu-san.it’s about time the person before Misuzu-san ends herstage rehearsalso please stand-by on the stage!

Kanako-san said in a hurry.

It’s because the opening time is approaching.

Understood, thank you

You’re welcome!

Kanako-san closes the door.

Why is Kanako-san coming instead of the stage director assistant?

Ruriko-san asks curiously.

Consideration. Ruriko-san is with me and on top of that, Fujimiya-san is here too !

The two successor daughters of Kouzuki house.and the top ace of Kouzuki security service.

Normal people would be frightened and find it hard to approach. Therefore.Kanako-san who’s friends with the two came all the way to call Misuzu. Kanako-san’s a good girl.

Then, I will be going. Danna-sama

I will head to the stage side too.Yoshiko Yes, Ruriko-sama

Earlier, Fujimiya-san said that they should stick together as much as possible.

Ruriko-san seems to have decided to go to the stage side along with Misuzu.

Un, we’ll go back to the lobby

I smiled at Misuzu.

We can’t go to the stage side with them. I’d like to see Misuzu’s dance on the real performance, not on training.

I’ll cheer from the audience seats.Misuzu and Ruriko-san, do your best

Yes, thank you very much. Kuromori-sama

Ruriko-san said.

Please wait when the symposium is over okay?

Misuzu told me.

.Yeah. Soon , KouzukiKakkawill be coming to this theater too. Misuzu’sfiancewill come too. I must confront them.

I know

I embraced Misuzu once again.

.Danna-sama, I love you

Misuzu told me in front of everyone watching.

Michi.Ruriko-san and I will be followed with Fujimiya-san. Please guard Danna-sama!

Certainly

Michi answers her lord.

We go back to the lobby together.

TheKuromorigroup occupied the sofa in the lobby.

Welcome back, want to drink coffee?

Katsuko-nee asked me.

Thanks!

Unlike earlier, the people in the lobby has increased.

It’s about time for the doors to open. At the reception, people of Konpeki school are starting their preparations. The children first coming out on thesymposiumare doing their last practice in the lobby. Of course, those girls have theirguardsandattendantswith them too. The security guards in Kouzuki security service uniform have also increased. In the lobby. Everyone fromKuromoriis clearly distinctive. Yeah. Something’s strange. Margo-san and Nei-san aren’t that strange. Katsuko-nee.she’s barely okay. Minaho-neesan.it’s slightly strange. Her dress isn’t strange however. It’s clearly isn’t an atmosphere of someone coming to see the children’s dance presentation. Then there’s Yukino. The hell are you? This black and yellow striped dress has too much destructive power. Wearing this on a public place, her hobby can’t be understood. Or rather.I don’t get what it means. The braid and the thick black edge glasses strengthens it further. Un, looking at her from the distance.she looks like an advertising character. It’s like an advertisement character of a honey product on a small local food company. Like she’s;Honey Soldier, Yukino-chan It made me want to eat pancakes.1 .Anyway When this group gathers.it’s extremely standing out.

.Maika Don’t get too close to me during the opening

Yukino tells Mana.

.Why?

She’s called Maika so she speaks to her sister in ill humor.

If we’re lined up then they might notice that we’re the daughters of Shirasaka you know? Your friends will be coming to watch today, won’t they

Yukino’s worried about that.

It’s okay. Nobody would notice that you’re Shirasaka Yukino. With your father’s scandal reported on TV. There’s no daughter who would come out to the public with such an interesting figure. If someone noticed it.they’d definitely avoid you.

Nei-san, do you have a magic marker?

Mana ignores her sister’s words and called out Nei-san.

I do, what’cha gonna do?

I’ll put a hugeShirasakaon Yukino-san’s forehead.

.Mana

As usual, she’s harsh with Yukino.

How was with Misuzu-san?

Margo-san asks me.

Minaho-neesan looks this way.

Misuzu and Ruriko-san have been entrusted to Fujimiya-san

You met her? Yes. We were in the dressing room when she came. What kind of impression you have with her?

Margo-san asks me.

Dignified and cool, I guess. I can tell that what she’s wearing is a first class item.her shoes were firm too

I speak my impressions right away.

Her behavior is clean, her speech too.Above all, she looks so strong, she feels reliable

Fujimiya is the top among the Kouzuki security service.she’s a first class

Yeah.true.

Somehow, Kouzuki security service feels strange doesn’t it? Kudou-san, chief Tanizawa, director Yamaoka, Fujimiya-san.all of them are different types of people

True, they have different atmospheres.

It’s because they have different departments

Margo-san said.

Kouzuki security service is a company specialized in protecting VIPs.

Err.what does that mean?

Yoshida-kun, how do you think Kouzuki security service accomplish their work?

Minaho-neesan asks me.

For example.if you receive a request from a person. It seems that I’m targeted by a bad guy so please protect me.and Kouzuki security service accepts that request.how do you think the job will be done?

.That is

To protect the person who made the request?

.How can you make sure that the person is protected? That is.defend the person and fight the the bad guys Sadly.that’s not how business works

Margo-san said.

Kouzuki security service have their guards contracted for a certain period of time. A month, three, half a year.or forever. If the guard is attacked during that period, it’s Kouzuki security service loss

Why? When they’re attacked, the subject will be in a dangerous situation right? If possible, nobody wants to be attacked, right?

Well.that’s certainly true.

Therefore the guard contract for Kouzuki security service, they issue a unit outside while guarding the subject at the same time. Those people will figure out who will attack the guard and drive them out thoroughly.

.Does this mean?

That’s right. Kudou-san is in charge with that kind of work

Thoroughly investigating and eliminating the assailant in advance.

If the contract period is one month.within one month, they will dispose all of the people who are targeting the subject

i see.

Kudou-san’sundersurfaceteam is actually fulfilling the core of the work. However, not everyone knows that. Even if you ask the person who asked for a guard, they sometimes don’t know. There’s a lot of people who rely on their secretary for buisiness.

What’s best for customers is when there’s nobody attacking, the contract period ended, and they reportIt’s OK now

Minaho-neesan said.

The hidden unit is invisible to the customer. What the customer only see is the person guarding themselves.therefore, director Yamaoka’s integrated security department all look good, and are easy to understand

Margo-san said.

The minimum requirement is to have a good physique and a rank in martial arts. Thus it’s better if you won some tournament

So the guard sticking to the subject is only for appearance’s sake?

I asked.

I won’t go that far. They are training very strictly.if you’re not competent, you won’t be hired in the first place. But, the contents of your job is different

Director Yamaoka and the people in his integrated security department.aren’t told about the activities done by Kudou-san and others from thebackground

Minaho-neesan?

If they knew that the person from behind the scenesalready crushed the possibility of attack in advance.the tension of the guards protecting their subject would be gone. Therefore, they’re not told about it

.I see

Then.the team lead by chief Tanizawa is an exception. They’re the elite counter-terrorist group guarding the highest level of VIPs
