Pure

True.Fujimiya-san has a different atmosphere.

Tanizawa-san and others have the first class fighting power.and yet they have the grace and education to cope with the elite people

Fujimiya-san is definitely one but, Tanizawa-san

He’s quite a man with a broken attitude.

He has that kind of attitude because I’m a member ofKuromori Chief Tanizawa is a person who can cope with the elite people and the peoplebehind the scenes He’s like that in front of Kudou-san and me but.that’s because he judged that it’s better to talk to us casually

I see.Fujimiya-san knew that I’m fromKuromoriand tried to ignore me.

That’s a natural response from the elite people. However, chief Tanizawa is an officer in Kouzuki security servcice. He also gives Kudou-san and others frombehindinstructions. He has to negotiate with people from organizations like us. Therefore.he was talking casually.

KouzukKakkahas his own team able to talk with the people of the elite world. That’s chief Tanizawa

I see.that’s hard work.

1. Oh, am I mistaken? I thought I heard something about delicious pancakes.

Chapter 229

Yoshida-kun.what do you think it means to bedignified?

Minaho-neesan asks me.

.Dignified?

What isElegantwhat isVulgar? What is the difference between first class and second class? I never thought of that

I lived in a world where that doesn’t matter.

Even in the upper class, there are some vulgar people, and vice versa.then what decides a person’sdignity

Minaho-neesan’s question is hard.

Yoshida-kun.have you seen a genuine art of either Picasso or Van Gogh?

.Genuine? Not a printed or seen on TV.have you seen a genuine thing with your own eyes Never Then, let’s go see next time.

Go see?

Once you see the work of a top-class artist exceeding the first class with your naked eye, even amateurs can tell it’s amazingness

.Un

Therefore, you should feel the amazingness of the top-class work.then compare it to the first class, second class works

Shouldn’t we avoid showing Yoshida-kun the later works of Picasso? That’s a different fight after all

Margo-san intervenes from the side.

Different fight?

Picasso has lived long and has always been a master.even his graffiti scribbles, art dealers collect all of it at high price. That said, it’s not bad work but.I think it’s not good for the aesthetic eyes I’ll let him see from his initial worksBlue PeriodRose periodtoCubism

Minaho-neesan tells Margo-san

That’s a lot. Won’t it be a month trip to Europe?

But still, it’s important to experience the genuine article.

.Err

Is it that important to see the genuine articles?

Margo-san.

If you didn’t see the genuine thing, you can’t clearly know how the author actually made the work

.Un

Talking about my experience.there’s an art textbook that listed a painting of the horse of the King of Europe.1 That horse’s picture is somewhat strange. The horse’s neck is thick and the head is too big

.Then? Then.looking at the textbook, it says The dynamism is being expressed by drawing the thick horse neck. When I read that, I thought ‘Is that how it is?’ but.

Margo-san smiled.

Minaho brought me to the national gallery in London, the real thing was there.then

This person.even though she’s strong.

She’s having fun when talking about arts and music.

The horse picture is very huge.it’s an image you look up from below

A big image.you look up from below

That’s right.looking from below, the neck of the horse that was too fat for the small textbook photo is actually fitting. It’s a perspective trick. The author has that picture from the beginning.he has calculated the angle and distance from where the viewer would see. It’s big after all. Those kind of things won’t be discovered unless you saw the real thing, I’m really moved.

I see.

The photo’s size is reduced so you can’t understand it.

Geez, Maru-chan. In the first place, the color of the real thing and the photo is different don’t you think?

Nei-san comes in too.

Yo-chan.the real oil painting is really sparkly and beautiful!

Right.no matter how much printing technology develops, the real colors can’t be reproduced

Minaho-neesan said.

Besides.the real thing still has the painter’s brush mark still remaining. You can really tell that it’s made by human hands. It’ll make you think humans are amazing. They can express a lot of things with just the point and lines made by the brush sweep

Nei-san’s eyes are sparkling too.

I’d like to bring Yoshida-kun to a photography exhibit instead of paintings

Margo-san said.

When a real top-class photographer takes it, the photos developed have a completely different depth. That’s why printing is only half the charm. I think you won’t know the real value unless you see the original print!

Is that so

Anyway.first we’ll let him touch something top-class. Experience the genuine greatness.then understanding the first and second class will be later

Minaho-neesan said.

Right. If you see something half-hearted, your eyes would be clouded

Margo-san said.

Uhm.why is Margo-san and Nei-san so familiar with art?

Margo-san laughs.

Isn’t that obvious?Nei and I received Minaho’s education

Minaho-neesan.

Kyouko-san’s hobby is included too. That person is really fussy to see the first class and hone her aesthetic eyes

I never met her yet but.it seems that Kyouko-san has a variety of hobbies.

If you obtain the power to see through the value of things.then you can also understand the value of others

Minaho-neesan said.

For example.the suit you’re wearing right now. Why do you think it’s a luxury item?

Well.Margo-san said that the cloth of the fabric is vintage

If I recall.that’s what she told me.

Then, why do you think that fabric is vintage?

Well.that is.

Today.there’s no machine remaining that weave that fabic

Margo-san told me.

There’s a much more rational loom now. That cloth takes time and effort to weave.

is that so?

When you think you want to know the value of things.you first need to imagine how much work it would take. Top-class craftsmen’s creation with time and effort are absolutely expensive.

i see.

Next.feel whether the work contains ideas that only geniuses and skilled craftsmen can come up with. It’s calledflash

.Un

In the end, you have to put emphasis on the time and effort taken. Pay flash to the inspiration afterwards.

Minaho-neesan said.

.Why?

The flash and novel ideas stand out but.it doesn’t match the time and effort taken. Trying different ideas after a hundred of times.it removes failures and accumulate experience That’s what’s boring with the modern art you see. They just come up with a new idea, then splash their paint then announce their work.the weight of it being developed over time can’t be felt!

I don’t get the meaning of Nei-san’s opinion.

For example.this ball-pen here

Minaho-neesan took out a pen.

This thing.it took dozens of blueprints to make it

.blueprint

How many mm should be the length.what kind of mixture of king should be put in. A lot of blueprints are drawn, a lot of prototypes have been made to just put ball-pen into the world

i see.

Making things isn’t that easy.

Then they make it into a product and sell it.the buyers will see the beauty as the ease of use and select it again. The unaccepted ones will be weeded out. Then they’ll take the data of the remaining designs and use it for the next product

.Un That takes time and a lot of people refine it. Don’t you think it’s wonderful that things are made like that?

Minaho-neesan smiles.

Imagine every time you see things. How much time and effort taken to create a single thing

I look around.

The theater building.the sofa in the lobby. The lighting in the ceiling. Carpet. The reception desk. Chair. It’s things everyone spent time thinking. Thinking about it.human world is amazing.

All of the things in this world are created by everyone that way. First, the accumulation of man’s effort and time should be felt. Even artists.they take many years to acquire basic skills, then they take over their master and seniors’ guide with trial and error

Well, in the era where everyone you can easily debut without being someone’s disciple.even if you don’t take time to train, the environment lets you create work-like things

Minaho-neesan and Margo-san look at each other.

True.the young ones only have theflash Without the backing of skills and experience, theflashalone won’t become a work.

Doing only that and in the end, unable to earn experience, there are artists who became old-men

Nei-san speaks as if venting out.

There’s no need to be that angry. Those kind of artists disappear

They don’t! Aren’t they being arrogant? Well.the art industry is a small world. Especially in Japan. Well, there are people who have reason in irregularity and boast around That’s what grinds my gears! But.I think that artists who doesn’t have that kind of content will keep their status until they die. They’ll disappear in art’s history without leaving any traces. During 19th century, the academy painters who were just stupid impressionists are completely forgotten now Well.you’re right but!

Minaho-neesan breaks the conversation of the two.

Nei.keep the criticisms on the modern art at that level. Yoshida-kun would be troubled

Ah, sorry, it’s an uninteresting story for Yo-chan right?

Un.I don’t get Art that much

Or rather, why is everyone so knowledgeable?

Let’s go back to our topic. Yoshida-kun, it’s about time for the opening. Then, there will be a lot of people with a family standing offirst class noblecoming

.Yes It’s a good opportunity so observe it. Then, compare theirdignity

Earlier, Minaho-neesan said that there areelegantandvulgarpeople even among the top-class families.

What’s the difference?I have to think on practice.

It’s not just Yoshida-kun, you too

Minaho-neesan is talking not only to me.but also to theyounger generationwho’s been staring until now.

Got it

.Un, I’ll try Certainly

Megu, Mana, Michi answers.

Hmm, you really like teaching people something. Is this why you became a teacher?

Yukino criticizes Minaho-neesan.

Minaho-neesan’s face turned dark. She glares at Yukino.

It’s not. Minaho’s personality isn’t suited to become a school teacher

Margo-san laughs.

Right.Sensei doesn’t teach children she doesn’t like

Nei-san looks at Minaho-neesan meanly.

She likes to educate the children she likes very much though!

True.Minaho-neesan’s not the type that teaches everyone in the class equally.

She’s not a school teacher but a tutor. She’s much more suited to be a governess

Margo-san said.

What’s governess?

It’s a private tutor live in teaching elementary education to the noble children in old Britain

Oh, Minaho-neesan fits that one more

You two, remember this!

Minaho-neesan seems to be a bit angry.

.What’s wrong?

Katsuko-nee comes back with a cup of coffee

Here, your share

I receive the cup.

Minaho-neesan said that it’s going to open soon, so she told us to observe the visitors and discover the difference indignity

I explained.

Right.It’ll be the time of hardship for Ojou-sama and me

.Right

Today’s audience.there will be former customers ofKuromorias well. The famous people who look forward to watching their daughters and granddaughters dancing.they don’t think that they would be meeting women from brothel here. Will they be ignored.they might even go to the security to report.

Should I go to the third floor seats?

Katsuko-nee speaks timidly.

Today’sSymposiumis a all free seat.since no guests would come on full house, I don’t think anyone would come to the third floor

It’s the dancepresentationof the children from the Konpeki school.

Only relatives and friends would be coming to see. Today’s performers also has daughters of celebrities like Kanako-san.Kouzuki security service guards would check and chase away the media at the gate

Katsuko.be dignified

Minaho-neesan said.

You have retired from being a prostitute haven’t you?

.Yes Do you intend to be dragged down by your past and live looking down? I don’t feel that way Then, be calm. If you’re not a prostitute then you’re just an ordinary woman, aren’t you?

Hearing that.Katsuko-nee.

I’m very sorry Ojou-sama. Katsuko has been mistaken

She bows to Minaho-neesan.

As long as you understand!

Minaho-neesan intends to close theKuromoribrothel.

Therefore.she’s trying to stand in public calmly. This theater lobby is a battlefield for the two.

Mana-chan, stay with Megu-chan and Me!

Nei-san told the uneasy Mana.

It’s fine.Mana-chan and Megu-chan looks fashionable. When you two line up, you look like sisters

Un.with me asguardNei asretainer, Michi looks like your friend

Margo-san said.

True, Margo-san and Nei-san.they both look like servants, wearing black suits. Michi’s wearing the same super-ojou-sama school uniform, her identity is guaranteed.

Now then, should we attach one more item to Kuroko-chan!

Saying that.Nei-san took out a black thing from the bag.

It’s an Alice band. It’s a headband with two round black discs tied to it. Is this the one the sell on the amusement park in the mouse country.

Here you go, Kuroko-chan, wear this!

.Err

With her hair braided in the middle, ugly makeup and dark glasses. Black and yellow stripe dress. And when you add a mouse ear headband. Yup.it’s perfect. Yukino’s completely anout of placegirl It’sout of placeor rathermistaken. From which world are you from?

What do you think? My identity won’t be found out right?

Yukino asks me.

Yukino’s not good with anyone fromKuromoriso she can only talk to me. Even if she talks with her sister, she knows that she’ll only respond harshly.

Un.Well, nobody would think you’re Yukino

I answered honestly.

Then fine.who cares about my outfit

Yukino said with a negligent feeling.

You see, I also have glasses with mustache growing on it

Nei-san took out theNose mustache glasses

I don’t want that.I’m not from a variety show!

Yukino got angry.

No.you already are. If you’re not, then what are you? Hmm.

We will be opening soon! Performers, return to the dressing room!

Whe woman at konpeki style reception shouts.

Okay, return immediately! The guests are waiting outside!

There are guests already in front of the theater.

The children doing their last practice in the lobby returned to the dressing room in a hurry. Theretainersandescortof those too. Those holding the children’s clothes or have tools used in practice, have left the lobby. Man in black suit appears from the stage.

The theater is clear. The curtain’s dropping down

A woman runs from the dressing room.

The performers have all entered backstage!

The chief receptionist declares.

Then.let’s open!

The theater’s front door opens!

Soon, about thirty people enters.

Welcome!

The people at the reception must be apprentices of Konpeki school too.

They greeted the guests with a loud voice in unisopn.

Welcome! Please show your tickets!

A spectator who’s holding a boquet.

A lady in gorgeous Kimono coming to visit the dance. There are girls with the same uniform as Misuzu and Michi too. The lobby turned colorful in a dash. .then.

.Dear!

.Yoshida-kuun!

At the reception.there’s two people waving their hands at us!

A beauty with a soft and gentle smile. And an angel-like cute girl. This two. Are Nagisa-san and Mao-chan!

.Just wait for a moment!

.A moment!

When the two were done at the reception.

They ran towards me with light footsteps. Nagisa hugs me. Mao-chan clings to my feet!

Ehehe.I came!

Mao also came!

The mother and daughter smiled at me.

.Err

.Were you okay?

I wasn’t able to make contact with them since yesterday

Yeah.for now

Nagisa said.

For today, the shop is closed. The children were sent home as well

Un! then, Mao and Mama came to Yoshida-kun!

Does that mean?

When it comes to this.it’s safer if we’re all together, don’t you think?

It’s safe!

Nagisa and Mao-chan smiled.

If they’re not with me.the bad people won’t be dragging the girls in the shop.

True.Cesario Viola’s power is limited.

They can take Nagisa and Mao-chan as hostage to control our movement but. We’re all now gathered here. Furthermore, they don’t have the room to target Nagisa’s children at shop. Instead of distributing their strength, they’d rather go attack us all at once.

You see, Minaho-san has been sensing footage all this time

Nagisa said.

Therefore.I know everything. Even the sex at school

No way.Yukino’s school broadcast rape?

.Ufufu! I know !

Mao-chan laughs.

.eeh?

Rape me later too!

Nagisa speaks cutely to me.

Let’s take video too! Un, that’s great!

That’s great!

Err.

This high-tension mother-daughter. But, I’m relieved that Nagisa and Mao joined us. I feel relieved.

By the way.who’s this female entertainer?

Nagisa looks at Yukino.

Kyahahaha, so funny!

Mao-chan laughs.

I’m not an entertainer! I’m Kishima Kuroko!

Yukino shouts angrily!

Kuroko-chan! Kuroko-chan! Kuroko-chan! So funny!

She completely became Mao-chan’s toy.

1. Equestrian Portrait of Charles I

Chapter 230

Megumi-chan, Mana-chan.it’s been a while.Mao-chan, gree them

Hearing her mother, the three year old Mao-chan bows her head.

Hello.I’m Mao!

what a cute creature

Hello, Mao-chan

Megu greets her.

Then, Mana.

We’ve met each other before but it’s first time for Mana, right?

Megu smiles at Mana-chan.

Un.Hello, Mao-chan. I’m Mana!

Mana bends her waist and greets Mao-chan with a matching line of sight.

Onee-san is Mana-san? I’m Mao!

Right.we only have a slight difference!

She smiled at Nagisa’s daughter.

Mao and Mana.Manamao?

Mao laughs.

.Also, it’s also your first time

Nagisa looks at MIchi.

I’m aware of your face and name

Kudou papa never neglects thorough investigation.

Nagisa’s file must be in there too.

I’m Kudou Michi. In this occasion.I’m in the lowest seat as Master’s servant

Michi bows her head.

My, is that so?

Nagisa looks at me.

Un. Michi’s Misuzu’s guard but.she decided to turn Misuzu and me her master

Somehow.this is hard to explain for some reason.

Well fine. It’s more fun to have morelittle sisters.there’s no problem as long as you accept them. Welcome toSister’s association!

Right.Nagisa’s also a member ofSister’s association

Hello, I’m Mao!

Mao-chan greets Michi with a smiling face.

I’m Michi.my best regards

This warrior lady lowers her head politely to the little girl.

Master.this child too will be master’s?

Hey.Michi

Mao-chan’s still three years old.

That’s the intention. I intend to have him give his love when she’s around 10 years old!

Wait.Nagisa?

Therefore.Michi-chan.help out with Mao’s education too!

.Certainly

No no.if you let Michi give her education.

Mao-chan would join the combat faction.

By the way, Minaho-san

Nagisa speaks.

You can’t stay in the corner!

Nagisa smiles calmly.

.What do you mean?

There are a lot of old guests in this venue right now. We have to greet everyone.

Uhm.Nagisa.

True, we know thatKuromoriguests are coming but. Everyone’s going to a place with their wife and family.they would hate to see someone from a brothel. Therefore, we’re stuck in the corner of the lobby.

At such times.I think that we must treasure the relationship with people

NAgisa said in a warm tone.

Mao and I will be greeting them first.Minaho-san and Katsuko, come when I call you okay!

.Nagisa?

Leaving behind the surprised Minaho-neesan, Nagisa and Mao-chan.

Let’s go! Mao!

Okaay, Mama! The old men in the suit coming from the entrance.let’s start with that one! .Un! Lock On!

Then.the beautiful Mama and the Angelic daughter attacks!

.My, Yamashiro-san, it’s been a while!

Nagisa speaks gently, softly.

.you?

The old woman looking like the wife and the secretary shows up a surprised expression.

It’s Katagai, excuse my long silence.this girl is my daughter.Mao, greet them!

Hello! I’m Katagai Mao! Three years old! Nihihihi!

Mao-chan smiles.

.Who are you?

The wife looks at Nagisa with a suspicious face.

Nagisa-san smiles nonchalantly.

I was a a secretary of Kuromori enterprise before.when I was a company employee, I’ve been indebt with president Yamashiro. I’ve retired after this child was born so I’ve been completely busy being a parent.it’s been what, 3? Four years since we’ve last seen each other! So Nostalgic!

Nagisa’s pushes her high-tension!

un.well, that’s how it is

The old man agrees with her story for the time being.

You seem to be healthy. You’re going to watch your grandchild, Yasue-san today?

It’s been years since her prostitute age.

Nagisa seems to have memorized her customer’s information.

That’s right.but why are you here?

The old man is still puzzled.

It feels strange when a retired prostitute appears at today’s celebrity children dance presentation.

I’ve been invited by Kouzuki Misuzu-san!

Nagisa shows her card.

.Kouzuki-san?

Yes. I am Misuzu-san’s flower arrangement teacher

Nagisa purposely speaks on loud voice.

Nagisa and Mao-chan are already attracting attention of the people around them. Especially.some restless men who have visitedKuromoribefore.

I’ve become independent after my retirement so I’m now running a flower shop. Kouzuki-san has been really helpful establishing the company

She appeals strongly with her relationship with KouzukiKakka

Then.the suspicion of the wife on her husband disappears. Perhaps, she has recognized that Nagisa is one of KouzukiKakka’smistress. Under that impression.she believes that she’s not related to her husband. She won’t imagine that Nagisa was a prostitute.

My.you are acquainted with Kouzuki-san?

The wife’s attitude changed immediately.

You.I’ll just have a talk with this person about Kouzuki-san

The old man tells his wife

Understood.I’ll head to my seat first. Excuse me

The old woman heads to the theater along with the secretary.

Really.what a courageous girl

Katsuko-nee mutters as she look at Nagisa.

You do know that Nagisa and I were abducted by Shirasaka Sousuke during our first year in high school, don’t you?

.Un

That is Nagisa and Katsuko-nee’s dark past.

I’m a weak human so.if I wasn’t with Nagisa who’s mentally strong, I think I might’ve gotten mad. That girl’s brightness and courage always saves me

.Katsuko-nee.

I’m no match against Nagisa. I’ve always thought of it.I want to be someone like Nagisa

Katsuko-nee smiles sadly.

That girl.her calmness and kindness, she quickly became the breadwinner among thewomenof the mansion. That girl is a woman truly loved by everyone

Nagisa put the old man aside and called the surrounding men.

It’s been a while, Umemiya-sama!

Hello, I’m Mao! My, Yasuoka-sensei! It’s me, Nagisa! Nice to meet you! I’m Mao!

The beautiful Mama and toddler.

The elderly men gather together even more. Nagisa’s graceful smile without any evil. Mao-chan’s innocent smile. The old guests were drawn by them.

Even though her work period is only a year

Katsuko-nee said.

And yet.those famous people come to her side

.Un

To be honest, I think it’s amazing. When I noticed, Nagisa’s being surrounded by more than 15 elderly gentlemen. Gathering this many.nobody would think that Nagisa’s a former prostitute. In such a place, a pair of mother and daughter are surrounded by celebrities. It feels like she’s a powerful woman coming from a famous family somewhere.

After that girl was banished by Shirasaka Sousuke.I did all my best to be a substitute for Nagisa.But it was no good. She’s the top earner of the mansion but she wasn’t able to become a woman loved by everyone like Nagisa

.Katsuko-nee.

You no longer need to, Katsuko-nee!

I said.

Katsuko-nee and Nagisa already have me. You don’t need other men anymore!

.Right

Katsuko-nee smiles at me.

.Just you staying with me will be enough. You do love us from the bottom of your heart!

I also love Katsuko-nee and Nagisa. I love you both the same! Thank you.dear

At that time.Nagisa turned this way.

Minaho-san, Katsuko! Come here! Hurry up and greet everyone!

At this stage.Nagisa calls Minaho-neesan.

.Nagisa’s got us

Minaho-neesan mutters.

Ojou-sama.let’s go

Right.we can’t just turn Nagisa’s goodwill to waste

Minaho-neesan and Katsuko-nee heads to the group surrounding Nagisa.

As guard, Margo-san follows behind.

Yo-chan.come here

Nei-san calls me

Here you go

She gives me an earphone.

Maru-chan’s hiding a microphone in her!

Nei-san puts earphones on herself too .

I also put in the earphones in a hurry. We eavesdrop the conversation of the group surrounding Nagisa.

.It’s been a while. Everyone

This is Minaho-neesan’s voice.

.Is it okay for you to be here?

A man’s voice.

Your organization is in a lot of trouble right now I think.

Last night.the scandal of Shirasaka Sousuke is being heavily reported.

Shirasaka Sousuke, was once a member of our organization but it’s different now. We have banished Shirasaka Sousuke

.Unbeleivable Umu. Wasn’t he the representative of your organization? No, Shirasaka Sousuke was only one of the co-operators.he’s not the representative But.for us, you and Mr. Shirasaka Sousuke are people of the same organization.

The guests knows the relationship of Shirasaka Sousuke andKuromori

They can’t be deceived easily.

Then.why do you think our existence hasn’t been revealed yet among the scandals of Shirasaka Sousuke reported?

Minaho-neesan asks.

.That’s right. The crime Shirasaka Sousuke has committed have flowed to the internet and press one after another. But.The organizationKuromoriisn’t exposed.

Could this be Mr. Kouzuki’s will?

One of the gentlemen asks.

Yes.as you know, our organization has stopped operating since last autumn. After that, we have entrusted the whole organization to Mr. Kouzuki

With that said.Mr. Shirasaka Sousuke’s scandal now? Kouzuki-sama’s aim is not Shirasaka Sousuke himself, but the parent house?

Minaho-neesan bluffs.

.Shirasaka house?

It means he’s aiming at Shirasaka newspaper and TV station?

The men’s surprised.

Even if the head of Shirasaka house.Shirasaka Moritsugu loses his influence in the world, I think it’ll be convenient for Kouzuki-sama

Minaho-neesan speaks to the gentlemen in one breath.

He intends to crush Shirasaka Moritsugu?

True, Mr. Moritsugu isn’t on a friendly relationship with Kouzuki-san. No, isn’t he trying to get the newspaper and TV companies again? Actually, with the blunder at yesterday’s press conference.I heard that unifying power of Mr. Shirasaka Moritsugu is decreasing The Anti-Mr. Moritsugu group is planning a coup d’etat Either way, the newspaper company would be in bad condition

The gentlemen speaks to each other.

As expected, most of them are business owners.

Anyway.this is all related to Kouzuki-san?

One of the men strongly asks Minaho-neesan

Of course. Young women like Katsuko and myself can’t think of such outrageous things, we don’t have the power to carry it out either

Minaho-neesan calmly spouts a big lie.

Uhm.this is what I’ve heard

One man speaks up.

Shirasaka Sousuke.is trying to sell the customer list of your organization to a crime syndicate.thus, he was punished by Kouzuki-sama

.That is the truth

Minaho-neesan speaks clearly.

Shirasaka Sousuke, tried to sell everyone’s name and other materials to the people on the underground society. Therefore.the organization sought Kouzuki-san’s power and disposed of it. Kouzuki-sama’s instructions is to thoroughly erase him from the society

Minaho-neesan seems to be creating an image thatKuromoriis a group of weak girls.

All of it were done with KouzukiKakka’spower.she’s thinking of hiding the power under the shadow of Kouzuki house.

Wait.so where’s the list of names and data

In the end, it hasn’t fallen to Shirasaka Sousuke’s hands, so please be relieved. We do keep the documents in the organization. All related materials that have been hidden by Shirasaka Sousuke has been burned together with the house yesterday Then.last night’s news, Shirasaka Sousuke’s retreat burned down last night? Yes.Kouzuki-sama’s force are behind it

.Well said.

Minaho-neesan, weren’t you in the site and put fire on the documents?

Then.we do not need to worry, do we?

Yes, there are currently no problems. Among the leaked information in the media, there won’t be anything related to us nor the gusts, it’s Kouzuki-sama’s power

Minaho-neesan’s voice makes the men feel relieved.

It’s really okay, isn’t it?

In that regard.Shirasaka house, especially Mr. Shirasaka Moritsugu can’t be said to be in good health. There’s an analogy of the cornered mouse bites.we don’t know what kind of thing a cornered person would do

Minaho-neesan purposely fuels them.

Understood.Though I was in the neutral faction, I’ll stick with Kouzuki-san

Umu. we can’t be at ease as long as we haven’t taken the newspapers and television from Mr. Shirasaka Moritsugu I will move as well. I have a decent stock on that newspaper company If you have stocks with them, please dispose of them immediately.their prices would be falling down from now on When the price falls.Kouzuki-san will be buying it I see, then it’s better to keep it for now Pinching salt would cause your fall Umu, it’s Kouzuki-san so apart from television, he might intend to crush the newspaper company Yes, his opinion is to reduce the number of Japanese newspaper companies

The gentlemen’s conversation turned lively.

For the time being.the doubts onKuromorihas disappeared.

By the way.Kuromori-kun

One of the gentlemen changes his tone and speaks.

When will you resume your place?

.Eh?

People with social status like us.needs a place to keep secrets and play like yours. From what you talked about, you have used Kouzuki-san’s power to protect our personal information from Shirasaka Sousuke’s recklessness. We appreciate it

Yes.Shirasaka has always been a man you can’t trust since before but.I do trust Kuromori-kun You’re just like your grandfather.that old man doesn’t spare any sacrifice just for the trust

Minaho-neesan’s grandfather.Kuromori Kounosuke.

The owner of the suit I’m borrowing now. I’m also borrowing his name too.

I’m very sorry but.for now, it’s unknown.

Minaho-neesan speaks.

I see, then it’s up for Kouzuki-san to think too

Then, let’s talk to Kouzuki-san I will talk too Then, should we sign a plea to everyone? Sure. Kouzuki-san likes that Either way, the rude man named Shirasaka Sousuke is now gone. With this, we can regain the place to relax like old days confidently

.I see.

The elder gentlemen who have called out Nagisa. These people are the guests of the oldKuromori towerera And perhaps.they’re the most important guests ofKuromori.

In that case.I’d like to have Katsuko-kun accompany me again

One of the old men said with a smile.

Un.I’d would like to ask of it too

Me too

Then.Katsuko-nee.

I’m very sorry. Katsuko has already retired

.Why?

Katsuko-nee looked at everyone.

I would like to say that everyone in here is a really great guest but.Nagisa and I were kidnapped by Shirasaka Sousuke.turned to prostitutes

The gentlemen fell silent.

We were forcibly separated from our family.unable to go to school, subjected to violence and intimidation, raped multiple times.turned to prostitute.

.I never knew Oh, we surely thought that you were prostitutes by will.

Minaho-neesan speaks.

That was the the operation when grandfather managed. Bringing beautiful ladies from parents with debt from the rural areas.after confirming that they’re willing, they come out of the mansion. However.when Shirasaka Sousuke was involved in the management.everything turned to a mess.and the prostitutes weren’t even paid properly Then that makes them slaves!

Yes.you do know that I was a prostitutes before, don’t you?

Minaho-neesan asks, several of the gentlement.

I do know

Un, me too I, in those days.your organization was in silence

That’s right.

There are a lot of people who hated the brothel turned to a mess when Shirasaka entered management. After Minaho-neesan turned to an operator, they tried to call back the former guests but they never came back again.

I’m also one of those kidnapped people. Yuuka-neesan protested to Kouzuki-sama about Shirasaka’s villainy.I joined as an operator and Kouzuki-sama’s auditor also came. Then, it has improved a lot.

KouzukiKakka’sauditor.Kyouko Dothnomechey-san.

I.if it wasn’t for Ojou-sama and Nagisa, I would’ve gotten crazy I think!

Katsuko-nee mutters.

I’m the one who should say that.If Katsuko wasn’t with me, I would’ve committed suicide!

Nagisa shouts.

I’m very timid.so I always go frivolous and smile forcibly right? But, Katsuko’s strong.Katsuko is substantially stiff, I was able to endure it without despairing!

What are you saying! Nagisa’s way stronger! I was just getting cold feet.tremble in fear. Nagisa’s always been smiling no matter how cruel they were with you.you took initiative protecting me.therefore.I! I’m not that strong! It’s all thanks to Katsuko! It’s not! If it wasn’t for Nagisa, I would’ve been dead!

That’s when Mao-chan cuts in.

Don’t fight! uu!

Mao-chan scholded the two.

.Mao

Mao-chan .Mama and Katsuko-chan, get along! Embrace! You two!

Nagisa and Katsuko looked at each other.

.Un, Katsuko.

.Yes, Nagisa

The two embraced each other.

.We hugged like this back then, didn’t we?

Yes.we endured the frightening nights like this

Mao-chan smiles.

.With this, it’s case closed! Nihihihi!

One gentleman looks at Mao-chan.

Nagisa-kun.this girl’s father

Yes. it’s unknown You don’t intend to investigate? Yes.I didn’t do

DNA

tests or any other methods Why? I think that the man who thinks that he wants to be this girl’s father from the bottom of his heart then he’ll be thefather The biological father is insignificant.

Shirasaka Sousuke let Nagisa give birth to a child whose father is unknown.

Even if the men who raped Nagisa were checked.there’s no meaning. The man who took part in Shirasaka’s bizarre plan raping Nagisa can’t be a decent man.

Understood.if anything happens to Nagisa-kun and Katsuko-kun.you can consult me. I won’t do anything ill

No, I won’t let only Tatsunami-san show a good face. I will help as much as possible too I will cooperate too. If it’s something I can do, you can ask me anything Me too.as long as my wife doesn’t find out.

The gentlemen laughed.

True.it’s bad if your family discovers

But, we won’t hold back helping out if it’s something honest Kuromori-san, the same is for you too Yes.we are quite indebt with that mansion!

I discover Nagisa’s amazingness again.

Nagisa chose the people with decent sense from among her guests. The people who will help her andKuromoriin the future!

We’ve gained strongalliesagain.

Chapter 231

.Onii-chan, do you have a moment?

Mana taps my shoulders as I listen along with Nei-san on the tapped microphone.

Hm.what’s wrong?

When I turned to her.

Megu-oneechan looks strange.

.Whut?

Looking at Megu in panic, she looks like she’s depressed. Sitting on the sofa, she curls her head.

Nei-san.excuse me

I returned the earphone to Nei-san and go to Megu.

What’s wrong, Megu?

I squat down and match our eyes.

Holding her head.it’s horribly cold. .Megu’s nervous?

Sorry.I’ve gotten scared

Megu forces herself to smile with her gloomy face.

.Is it Cesario Viola?

Is she afraid that white Viola has sneaked into the theater?

That’s not it.it’s the current situation

Megu looked around the lobby

The spectators for tonight comes from the entrance. It’s not all old men like the ones Minaho-neesan and others are talking to right now. Of course.there are a lot of young girls who are friends with the performers. Their mothers, and grandmothers too.

Is it okay for me to be here?

.Megu

The majority of the people in the lobby are families of rich celebrities. The rest areguardsorattendants Konpeki school secretariat and security guards of Kouzuki security service. Then.there’s us. Thinking about it.Megu and I are the only ones who have lived a poor life. Yukino and Mana were from Shirasaa family.

Somehow.I suddenly got scared

Hearing Megu.I once again looked at the hall.

Un.I’m also messed up, someone out of place. It’s strange for me to be in a world of rich. This is a world unrelated to me. Noticing that.I suddenly feel shivery.

.Even though I had Yoshi-kun buy a cute dress for me.but I can’t wear it beautifully like other girls, right?

Megu looks at me with teary eyes.

.Right. Megu’s been unable to get dressed even at the Shirasaka family gatherings. She’s always been on her school uniform.driven at the corner of the room. She’s discriminated as the daughter of Yamamine house. Megu has a deep-rooted inferiority complex in respect tofine clothes

I’m not that cute. Wearing a dress doesn’t suit me either!

.Seriously.

.You really are.

Stop that, Megu. It’s the dress we picked!

I tell Megu with a strong tone.

I’m also a bit nervous.

It suits you. Isn’t that obvious that it suits you!

I embrace Megu tightly!

Yoshi-kun.this is embarrassing

Don’t be.we love each other

Megu’s stiffness is being softened in my arms.

The girl’s body softens, loosens. As if she’s melting from my body temperature.

.Yoshi-kun

Megu embraces me too.

.Did you calm down?

.Un

I let go of her.

I look straight at Megu.

I think that Megu’s cute. I think you’re beautiful. That’s why, it’s fine. It’s okay for Megu to be here

.But

It’ll be fine. If someone complains to Megu, I’ll beat them up. If you want, I’ll shout at everyone coming from the door. I’ll shoutMy Megu is cute!

Megu’s eyes turned moist.

.That dress. I can tell the reason why Minaho-nesan asks us to buy it. That’s a reward given by Minaho-neesan to me who worked with my body. It’s a dress I bought from my pay

.Un The girls here right now might be wearing a much more expensive dress but that doesn’t matter

.I

if Megu wears a luxurious dress now.I think perhaps, Minaho-neesan can easily prepare such a high-class dress for Megu

And yet.She purposely made Megu and I buy a dress.

With the set amount of money provided.

But.what would Megu think if she wears a high-class dressed that’s just borrowed?

.Perhaps, I would be more embarrassed. I don’t think I’m suited to wear a dress having a price I can’t reach

Megu answers.

What do you think about the dress you’re wearing now?

When I asked her.Megu touches her own dress.

I think that even this is too expensive for a girl like me. Really. But, this is the dress Yoshi-kun bought for me

That’s right.it’s the dress we both picked. You know the price don’t you? Un.I do. This dress is the most suitableclothingfor me now .That’s right. That’s why, puff out with pride and be dignified.Megu

I hold Megu’s hand.

For me.for Megu herself. Minaho-neesan has thought a lot for Megu!

I kiss the back of Megu’s hand.

Thank you.Yoshi-kun

I look at my suit.

Even I just borrowed this clothes. I’m glad that it’s borrowed. It’s not mine. This is Minaho-neesan’s grandfather’s suit.then, Katsuko-nee adjusted the size, filling it with love. I’m really glad wearing such clothes

.Yoshi-kun?

I wasn’t given new quality goods.

No, if I’m told to buy a high-class suit.I would perhaps reject it. Therefore. Minaho-neesan and Katsuko-nee.planned to borrow the late Kuromori Kounosuke-san’s clothes. They thought that I would accept it if it’s borrowed from the dead. Furthermore, Katsuko-nee changed the size to fit me in secret. If they didn’t go that far.I might’ve gone to the theater on my usual student clothes.

For now.I can only borrow clothes. That is my reality. Therefore.I accept that reality. Upon acceptance, I live dignified among the upper-class people!

Megu’s wearing cheap dress.

I’m wearing a borrowed suit. That is our reality. Let’s accept that. Then.let’s face up the world of high-class aware of your own unbecoming.

There’s nothing to be afraid of.we’re wearing clothes we deserve right now

Un.you’re right

Megu said.

I grew up from a poor house. This is my first time wearing fine clothing. This is the dress Yoshi-kun bought for me. Right now, this is the only suitable dress

Megu dearly slides her fingers on the fabric of the dress.

I’m here right now.no. No matter how embarrassed I am, I am here, confidently. This is the best suitedfine clothesfor me now

That’s right.Megu

I’m thankful for Minaho-neesan’s deep thought.

I thank Katsuko-nee’s affection. .This is fine. .This should do. Mana shows up smiling.

Megu-oneechan’s the only one Onii-chan bought a dress for.I’m jelly You even have a ring?

Megu’s finger has our engagement ring shining.

I’ll buy Mana some too.

I promise.

Eh.really?

Or rather.I’ve got to work hard to earn money. I’ll be the one to shoulder out living expenses

It’s not on the same level as a dress or a ring.

Even socks and underwear.I have to buy those in the future.

.Onii-chan

Mana seems to have remembered it too.

She can no longer go back to Shirasaka house. She can no longer to go school. Mana has no choice but to live with me. Thatrealityreappears to Mana’s head again.

Yoshi-kun, I’ll also work partime.so you only have to think about Mana

Megu said but.

I’d like Megu to do her best in her club activities.

Mana will also work partime

Mana’s downhearted.

Middle school girls can’t get a job. For the time being, help out Katsuko-nee

.Un

I spread my arms and embrace them.

There’s no need to worry that much. Let’s think about the details once this commotion settles down. We have to consult Minaho-neesan about this too

You’re right.Yoshi-kun Got it.Onii-chan

They replied.

Therefore.forget about everything that makes you anxious and let’s cheer for Misuzu. Misuzu’s an Onee-san amongSister’s associationisn’t she?

Mana.

Un! Mana will cheer hard!

.Then

.My?

A girl’s voice can be heard from my back.

.No way?

What’s wrong, Sugawara-san? No.isn’t that Shirasaka Maika on that sofa over there?

Mana.

.Uu!

Her complexion changed

.Do you know them?

I asked her whisperingly.

They’re Sugawara and Taki-san from the same class

Mana is also a student of an Ojou-sama school.

There’s a high possibility of her coming across with her classmates in this place. We did imagine that situation but. When you’re in there.you don’t know how to respond.

No way.there’s no way Maika-san would come

You’re right.there’s no way she would come to public like that after what happened to her father

That is the perception of the people.

After all, the mass media exposed the scandals of Shirasaka Sousuke last night. A crime of a famous family known as Shirasaka. A sex scandal that involved the show business world. Furthermore, kidnaping, rape, murder. The sensational topic isn’t lacking. Mana is the daughter of the criminal, Shirasaka Sousuke.

The people from Shirasaka house doesn’t seem to be here today

Eh, Takako-san too? Yes.isn’t it embarrassing to be on the same family as Shirasaka? Well, that might be the case If Moritsugu-sama hasn’t spoken in the press conference to protect Shirasaka Sousuke.wait, Takako-san was crying over the phone She was looking forward to the symposium today

Mana.

Takako-san.sorry

.A relative? A younger cousin. She’s also doing Japanese dance. She’s on a different school but.she was looking forward to watch today.

Mana feels depressed.

But still.doesn’t that girl look like Maika-san?

Un, they do look alike but. What? Shirasaka Maika-san won’t be coming in such clothes I think

Mana’s dress today is prepared by Katsuko-nee, it shows a lot of skin.

Her make-up and hair style are both flashy. You won’t think it’s vulgar but. Katsuko-nee likes to go sexy route.

You’re right, after her father causing such a incident.she won’t wear something stupid like that

She’s someone else. The people next to her are wearing cheap dresses too. People from Shirasaka house would wear much more expensive clothes

Hey hey.this time, they begin to criticize Megu’s dress.

But, the two rich ladies are really loud.

From which house are they from?

Somehow.they feel likecommoner who forced themselves to come Aren’t most of the dancers commoners? You’re right. They must be people who came by mistake because they had invitation tickets by chance Today’s symposium isn’t that kind of party isn’t it?

Mana’s classmates escalates further.

Mana’s face is pale, grabbing her knees with great effort .Then

.Mana, get yourself together!

Did she lost her cool from the young girl’s impudent words? Megu speaks out loud.

Even you are a daughter of Kuromori. Now, apoligize to Onii-sama.

I don’t know why Mana has to apologize to me but.

Anyway, Megu asks for such a plan from us.

I’m sorry Onii-chan!Mana’s a bad girl!

Mana apologizes to me in a loud voice.

un.as long as you understand. Apology accepted

I have to say something that matches.

Megu-oneechan too, I’m sorry!

Very well. You’re also a member of the traditional Kuromori family. You should show a dignified attitude as the daughter of the Kuromori house at any time! Do you get it? .Yes!

Seeing our little act.the girls.

.Look, it’s different after all

She’s not Shirasaka Maika-san That’s right, they did say Kuromori. Speaking of which.Maika-san did have an older sister instead of a brother, right? Her sister is different from that one too.I’ve seen her before Eh, when? During some party of some sort. It was on Metro Hotel Then, it’s really not her!

Were they convinced? The girls got away from us.

. Sigh

.Onii-chan, Onee-chan

Mana clings to us

Let’s stay as three together.if we’re together, nobody would find us out

If there’s someone who thinks that it’s strange and approached us, the three of us can just play a skit again.

I was wrong

Megu said.

There’s no time to be depressed. You have to prepare to fight and sharpen your senses, or else you will be beaten down

You’re right, Megu-oneechan.this is our battlefield Therefore.Mana, be confident. Be calm Un.I’ve got to smile. Mana will fight!

When alone.you’ll only be swallowed by the place like Megu earlier.

Therefore, we stick together and fight. Fair and square, so we won’t lose to this celebrity space.

You guys are really serious to the root

Nei-san laughs.

Nei-san.are you okay with this atmosphere?

I ask her.

Un, I’m fine! After all, I’m always out of place! I’m used to it!

Well.

She’s a legendary delinquent girl known in the whole school. She’s not attending classes too.

I’m fine with it too

Michi said.

Kudou Style’sessence is to turn over other’s qi after all.

.No

Michi.you should match with other’s mind sometimes too

I said.

It’s normal to match with the surrounding atmosphere. Purposely removing it makesKudou styleamazing right? But, in your case.aren’t you not matching with them in the first place

Hearing my explanation.Michi shows a blank face.

Is matching the atmosphere that important?

.Err

Before I can explain, Mana speaks up.

Michi-san should try having sex with Onii-chan and you’ll understand

.Mana?

You see.it feels the best when you cum together with Onii-chan.

.Err

.Cum?

Michi-san, you haven’t climaxed yet?

When Mana asks.

.I don’t know!

Michi’s face turned red.

This isn’t because she really came and trying to gloss it over from embarrassment. She doesn’t have a clear experience of reaching true climax so she doesn’t know.

Anyway.I think it’s better to have Onii-chan let you reach it

Mana said.

Right. I think that Michi-san would become stronger if you do have such experience!

Margo-san joins in from the back.

It seems their conversation with the old guests ofKuromorihas ended Minaho-neesan and Katsuko-nee comes back too.

.Sex with Master is training?

Michi asks with a serious face.

Kudou style can easily turn over the qi of the opponent, a technique to remove.it’s better if you can pinpoint the qi that should match. Match.take away. Isn’t it better if you can do it freely?

I see.I think there was such mystery written on the book of secrets father has hidden!

Michi speaks to Margo-san somewhat excited.

Furthermore.if possible, it would be amazing if you can learn the technique to instantly sharpen your qi like how the camera narrows down it’s focus

You can learn that through sex?

Margo-san smiles.

I don’t know. I haven’t done sex for the past seven years after all.

Margo-san was raped in an Indian settlement when she was 12.

Since then.she never had sex.

But.I recall a document Kyouko-san holds. It’s a report about training your mind through sex

.I’d like to see it Un, I’ll look for it

Michi looks at me.

Master.I’m very sorry but, now that it has come to this, please accompany me in my training

.Does that mean?

Sex for Michi’s mind training?

I think that’s good. I think it’ll be good training for Yoshida-kun too!

Margo-san is grinning.

mana will train too!

Yoshi-kun, I’ll be joining in too!

Megu.Mana.

Of course, I will be joining too!

Katsuko-nee too.

Eh, eh, eh? Then me too!

Nei-sama, you’ve got to get yourself together or I’ll get angry!

Katsuko-nee glares at Nei-san.

Geez! Katsun you bully

I’m not a bully! It’s Nei-sama who doesn’t have the courage!

.Err

.What’s this about?

Mana asks me with a curious face.

.Haa When are we going to let her know that Nei-san’s still a virgin? .No .Rather than taht.

.Huh? Speaking of which, where’s Yukino?

Mana’s classmate came this way.

Yukino’s acquaintance might come too.

Kuroko-chan’s there

Katsuko-nee points.

Kyahahahaah.Kuroko-chaan!

Gaoo! I’ll catch you! Mao won’t be caught! Pakupakupaku.I’ll eat you! Kufufu.I won’t lose!

.Yukino.

She’s running around the nearby sofa. .Along with Mao-chan.

Hoora! I caught youu

Kyaan! I got caught.Ehehe

What’s with this heartwarming spectacle?

.Yukino-san’s like that long ago

Mana said.

She’s very kind to the children around. Playing a lot with the small children of relatives coming to visit, she’s always like that

Yukino likes children, I see.

.She doesn’t care about her little sister since long ago however

Mana speaks in dissatisfaction.

It’s only for the surface. Since her sister is a relative, she doesn’t need to take care of her. She’s always being affectionate to other children.

She’s speaking politely.

This isMaika Not Mana.

No.Yukino’s kind

I said.

Yukino’s the first one to talk to me when I was alone during the entrance during high school.

That’s right.Shirasaka Yukino is.

She’s essentially a kind girl!

Chapter 232

Mao, don’t make a fuss!

Nagisa talks to her young daughter.

Okaay, Mama!

Mao-chan runs towards Nagisa.

She clings to Nagisa’s foot.

Kuroko-chan, you’ll bother the people if you make a noise! Nihihi!

Mao-chan speaks to Yukino, pretending to be the elder sister.

I know! Let’s do it later!

Un, let’s play again later! Kuroko-chan!

.What?

That makes it look like Mao-chan’s looking after Yukino. No, that’s true in a sense. Yukino’s life is targeted by Shirasaka head, she has to stay with us. But.the seniors ofKuromoriare basically cold towards Yukino. Yukino herself isn’t good with Minaho-neesan, Katsuko-nee, and Nei-san. On top of that, her real sister, Mana is the most cruel in responding towards Yukino. Megu and Yukino have a complex with each other so they don’t speak to each other. In that case, Yukino doesn’t have anyone to talk with apart from me. Look.she avoided the otherwomenand head straight towards me.

.Do you like kids?

It can’t be helped, I’ll talk to her

I don’t. They’re troublesome.but, I thought I need to get used to them.

.Get used?

Yukino looks at me through the thick black edge glasses.

Look.I’ll give birth to your child, don’t I?

.Yukino?

I already gave up. If I’m abandoned by Shirasaka family, there’s no place for me to return to. I don’t have any other way to live but to stick with you, do I? Then it can’t be helped. I’ll give birth to your baby.

Yukino owns a bottomless positive spirit.

Her resolution is good. Knowing that she can no longer live her peaceful life asShirasaka Yukino.She chose to obey us.

Besides.when Kenji attacked me.

Yukino said.

When Kenji touched me, it didn’t feel good at all.he only does things forcefully, it only hurts.it’s inevitably disgusting

Yukino speaks her discomfort.

Even my first time with you, it was disgusting at first.but I understand it when Kenji attacked me. When it’s you.you’re at least trying to make me feel good in your own way. You’re a rapist who violated me but.you’re not all bad.

.I

I hate a man like you. You don’t look cool.you’re not even intelligent.you’re not from a good family either. There’s no benefit going out with someone like you. I don’t want the class to see me together with you

.Right No matter how many times I’m reborn, I’ll never come to love a man like you. You should understand at least that! .Yeah Great.then, I’ll give birth to your child .Eh? I don’t like you but it can’t be helped. I have no choice but to bear your child so I’ll be sheltered by Yuzuki-sensei from now on un I’m already fine with it. I don’t like you but I think I can love my own child. I’ll raise it with love. When that happens, I would have no other pleasure to live but that!

Yukino.she’s been spoiled and raised, she’s selfish and her pride is so high.

But.she’s not an idiot. She looks at her own situation.she considers her path of living, without despairing. Yukino’s probably going to be satisfied raising my children for the rest of her life. .But.

My, you only need to give birth!

Minanho-neesan speaks to Yukino coldly.

I will be the one to raise the child.Yukino-san will be farewell after giving birth

Yukino glares at Minaho-neesan.

Just leave the baby and you will be leaving. Let’s see.if you’re a good girl until then, I’ll give you a bit of bonus when you leave. But, if you stay as a bad child!

Minaho-neesan’s mouth smiles.

If you stay as a bad childmeans.Minaho-neesan doesn’t acknowledge Yukino at all.

I’ll have you work on the slums on the southeast Asia I guess!

She’ll be sold to the brothels with worst environment.

Such life would be harsher than death.

No.I don’t want that!

Yukino’s eyes are burning in anger.

Think about it.I think that you’re already pregnant but it takes ten months to give birth. You’ve got a negative evaluation since the start. If you don’t make effort to recover, the plan to sell you overseas won’t change.get ready for it

.I won’t forgive you. I’ll never forgive you

Yukino said.

My, what a coincidence.I won’t forgive you too as well. You! I love looking at your face crying in frustration.Yukino-san

Saying that, Minaho-neesan parted from Yukino.

Tears accumulate in Yukino’s eyes.

.Yukino

.I

.What?

Yukino changes the subject of anger to me and she glares at me with teary eyes.

I like you.

.Eh?

Yukino’s puzzled from what I say.

Yukino’s a woman who doesn’t lie after all

.What? You’re really a woman who doesn’t lie at all! what?

Yukino’s puzzled.

No.you’re selfish, always looking down on me but.you only saying what you think from the bottom of your heart. When crying, angry.you only say what you truly think

Isn’t that obvious? No.you see, other people lie quite a lot

Mana.when she was Maika’s saying things she doesn’t mean in order to improve her position.

Megu tried to deceive herself to accept the fate. That’s what normal humans are. They desperately lie to be thought as a good person by others, be included in groups with power. Even if you lie to your own heart.you’re actually trying to compromise That is the sense of balance to gain peace of mind. It’s never condemnation. .But. Shirasaka Yukino’s different. This woman.when it was exposed to the world that her parent is a criminal, her rape was broadcasted.she has theegothat won’t yield to reality. Living frankly according to her heart.she has the conviction, not needing to match her own world to the situation of reality. Even if she lose her house, position, honor, friends, even family.Yukino will still haveYukinoleft in her. Yukino believes in the woman ego namedShirasaka Yukino. Therefore, Yukino’s never pessimistic. She won’t despair. She won’t waver no matter what, she’ll only think how to survive possitively. Yukino will always beYukinoin her heart. Yukino is a woman that won’t be beaten by loneliness.

I respect you. How you are. To be honest, I think you’re amazing

what.what are you praising about, I don’t get you at all.

.Un, Yukino herself won’t understand it.

She only thinks of it as normal.

Besides.I won’t come to like you even if you praise me!

Un.I know

For Yukino who’s heart isYukino.Yoshida has been excluded as alove interest

Therefore.no matter how much the situation changes, Yukino will never love me. Even if she have sex with me and give birth to my child.she’ll won’t thinkIt can’t be helped, I’ll love youorI’ll make an effort to like you Yukino’sYukinowon’t take a step forward. .Therefore Yukino wo’t have a place inKuromori Here.Minaho-neesan is the leader of the organization. Everyone trusts Minaho-neesan.it’s an organization that mutually cooperates with each other. But.Yukino. Yukino’s only a one woman team Yukino will only live in a world where Yukino’s the center and her own selfishness is the only thing allowed. .Just like Shirasaka house yesterday.

Yukino.what would you do?

I asked unconsciously.

.What?

Yukino shows a nonchalant face.

What will you do in the future?

Yukino laughed.

You’re not in a position you can worry about other people are you?

.Well yeah.

Yuzuki sensei said those things but.I understood that she’s fairly a sweet person these past few days. It’ll be fine. She won’t sell me away

.No

I’m also watching Minaho-neesa’s cruel revenge against Shirasaka Sousuke.

I don’t think she’ll throw me out naked. I’ll still be 16 after ten months. I can start over if I want. Even without Shirasaka house, if I rely on Ichikawa-ojiisama, I’ll manage somehow.

Yukino doesn’t know that old man Ichikawa has abandoned Mana.

After a year, I can enter high school again.I can change my name. I’ll abandon my nameShirasaka YUkino Then, I’ll fall in love. This time.it’ll be true love

Yukio’s positive no matter what.

On the contrary.it hurts my heart.

Hey.how long are you going to talk to that person

Megu sticks to me.

That’s right.you can just leave that person alone!

Mana also brings her body to me.

Yoshi-kun has us okay

Megu’s words are heavy.

I can’t live for myself like Yukino. I’m responsible for my women. Thesewomen.I must make them happy.

I wish we can know if you’re already pregnant.when that happens, Onii-chan don’t need to have sex with Yukino-san anymore

Mana glares at her sister.

.What’s with that?

Yukino opposes.

Oh, Yukino-san.do you want to have sex with Onii-chan that much?

Mana clings to my chest and provokes Yukino even more.

.I want to

Yukino answered calmly.

Because, that man’s skill in sex is his only worth. Maika, aren’t you sticking to that guy because of that?

Mana rages

I’m not!

Mana.stop that

Megu holds back Mana.

No matter how much you explain it, Yukino-san won’t understand outbonds She won’t understand Yoshi-kun’s charm no matter what you say.

I do know his charm you know

Yukino smiles.

.You do?

Un. First, he’s a man below average from top to toe.even he himself knows that much so he’s trying to devote himself to me and you guys. You all feel pleased being spoiled by this guy, right?

.Yukino

It’s not.I

Maika and you didn’t have a man to spoil you, so you feel ecstatic, aren’t you? Well, isn’t that great? This kind of man is just perfect for girls like you. Isn’t that great? You found a man who loves you!

Yukino speaks with the most poisonous tongue against her sisters connected by blood.

You don’t get it at all. Yoshi-kun’s charm is.

I don’t know, I don’t even want to know!

Yukino rejects it thoroughly.

The ones worth of my love are only good looking people with both standing and talent. This man.is really only just sex!

This can’t continue.

Yukino, Megu, and Mana’s conflict will only get worse.

Hey, it’s about time you end that talk soon

Nei-san enters in between

At first, I was listening because it’s an interesting opinion but.what’s ahead is only just parallel lines

It can’t be helped.there’s no way you can understand my feelings!

Yukino who’s emotions have fired up.exposes her hatred.

You see.Kuroko-chan

What? You’re Kishima Kuroko-chan right now!

Nei-san pierces Yukino’s heart with sharp words!

It’s been a long while since she stared at Yukino with her delinquent girl mode.

.yes?

If you continue.I’ll make you go around the imperial palace with a placard sayingI’m Shirasaka Sousuke’s daughter

.Yukino.

i’ll shut up.I just have to stay silent don’t I?

As usual, she’s weak to the pressure of the older ones like Nei-san.

Megu-chan and Mana-chan too.you don’t need to fight Kuroko-chan every single time

That’s.we just We’re not fighting with her What do you think, Yo-chan?

Nei-san turned to me.

Megu and Mana.I think they both hold too much negative emotions towards Yukino. Well, I can understand that it’s due to the various things that happened before but.

Megu’s been bullied by Yukino since forever.

Mana.she’s her sister but she’s hardly cares about.

You’re picking fault at Yukino at everything!

But, Yoshi-kun But.Onii-chan!

The two doesn’t agree.

No.you pick on Yukino at everything more than you think. Try to ignore her for a bit. Yukino’s aYukinoeither way

I said.

Yukino’s a.Yukino?

Megu looks at me with a curious face.

Yukino won’t step outside the thought other than herself so it’sYukino It’s impossible to accompany her. Yukino’s outlook of the world won’t change unless Yukino’s own world is destroyed

But.isn’t that just crazy?

Mana tells me.

Everything she says about Onii-chan is horrible. I won’t forgive it

.Mana

I embrace Mana.

You don’t need to forgive her.You just have to stop picking a fight with Yukino every single time

.But What kind of man I am.what is our relationship, it’s okay as long as we ourselves know, right? There’s no need to explain it to other people and ask them to understand .Onii-chan No matter who we meet.whatever happens with us, and what are our relationship right now.they won’t understand no matter how much you explain it in words .Un I love you.that’s all there is to it You’re right.Got it

Mana agrees.

Megu too.do you feel uneasy if you don’t pick on everything Yukino does?

.A bit What are you uneasy about? Yukino’s much more beautiful than me. I feel like she’ll steal Yoshi-kun away from me. That’s not true

I said clearly.

Yukino doesn’t like me. No matter how many times she’s reborn, she won’t come to like me.didn’t she just say that earlier?

But.Yoshi-kun likes Yukino, right?

.Megu

Didn’t I say it a while ago?

.I

I certainly like Yukino but.she’s not as important as you

.Eh? It’s priority level.if we’re on a sinking ship, I’ll put Megu and Mana on the lifeboat first. I’ll put Yukino as last.

Hearing what I said.Yukino’s face turned gloomy.

Really.Yoshi-kun?

Yeah.did I ever lie to Megu?

Megu.

Got it.I won’t bump with Yukino anymore. I’ll ignore everything she says

Un, right. We’ll just leave out Yukino-san. Ignore her

Mana still doubts.

Well, it’s better than them fighting upfront.

.Very well, I don’t care. I feel much more refreshed when I don’t talk to you!

She said grumbling.

Now.there’s 15 minutes before the opening. Let’s enter the theater soon

Minaho-neesan call us out.

Okay

Mao-chan speaks.

Megu-chana nd Mana-chan, could you reserve the seats for our number? We don’t need to seat on one lump, instead of lining up in a row, we should seat on three rows

Margo-san said.

Got it. Mana, let’s go

Un!

I look at Michi.

We have Margo-san here.Michi, go with Megu and Mana

Certainly

Megu, Mana and Michi trio runs to the theater.

.Yoshida-kun, it’s about the priority level earlier

Margo-san talks to me.

Megumi-chan and Mana-chan would be on the lifeboat first and Yukino would be the last. I do understand that but.

Margo-san looks at Yukino with a smile.

Yukino shows awhatface and Margo-san averted her eyes.

Where would be Yoshida-kun himself be at that time?

.Eh?

If you put Yukino-san on the lifeboat.is Yoshida-kun himself on the lifeboat already or he’s still in the sinking ship?

.I

.On the sinking ship

Margo-san laughs and speaks to Yukino.

That’s how it is.Yukino-san won’t be abandoned by Yoshida-kun at least

Yukino looks at me with anAh?surprised face.

In my case.I’ll get on the lifeboat at last.if there’s a gap then I’ll let Yukino-chan on board!

Nei-san said.

I’ll never let her in the lifeboat. I’ll be watching Yukino-sama sinking from the lifeboat. Oh well, I’ll give her at least a floating wheel

Nagisa said.

I’ll tie up Yukino-san on the bottom of the ship with a chain so Yukino-san can’t run away, then I’ll ride the lifeboat. I hate uncertain things

Katsuko-nee said.

What about Minaho

Margo-san asks, Minaho-neesan.

If it was me, I’ll push down Yukino-san down the sea even if the ship isn’t sinking. Let’s see.I’ll aim at the waters where the sharks lurk around

Their assumptions are already different.

Hmm. Everyone’s harsh towards Yukino.

Very well! If you tie me up with chains, I’ll get out of it. I’ll desperately swim if I’m pushed on the sea. If sharks attack, then I’ll go faster than them! I’ll definitely live! I’ll never be killed by you people!

I think this unchaste vigor is really amazing.

Before you think about that, you should take good care of Yoshida-kun.

Margo-san said as she laugh.

Eh?What?

Yukino doesn’t seem to get it.

If you don’t understand then it’s fine. That is what Yukino-san makes herself!

Margo-san said.

Then, she pat my shoulder.

Yoshida-kun’s having a big problem too

.I

Should we go now?

Minaho-neesan speaks and everybody leaves the lobby sofa.

This way, Onii-chan!

Mana waves her hand.

Around ten columns from the front of the first floor seat.Mana and others reserve the seats. Huh. Even though there’s considerable number of audience coming in, the audience seats aren’t filled that much. I look around.

There’s not much people who would watchsymposiumslike today from start to end

Minaho-neesan explained.

Right, there’s a lot of people who will only come to watch the dance of theperformerthey know

.Is that so?

Rather.it’s more important to greet and interact with people from various famous families in the lobby

Katsuko-nee said,

I see.various famous people are coming. After coming to watch their daughter or granddaughter’s presentation.and interact with various people while they’re at it.

As expected, it’ll become overcrowded when it’s the dance of the headmaster

Nagisa said.

Konpeki Nadeshiko-sensei is a candidate for human national treasure

I don’t know why traditional Japanese dance is a national treasure but.

I’m sure it’s amazing.

That’s how it is.we’ll stay in the theater

Minaho-neesan said.

Thanks to Nagisa, we were able to greet the old guests of the mansion.what’s left is fore them to spread out words

Un.we don’t need to move any further than this

Margo-san analyzes.

We don’t need to talk to the other side we don’t have business with.it’s better not to talk to the individuals but just take a seat, it’s easier to have them point at and sayThat’s Kuromori Minaho

Minaho-neesan seems to have been preparing to become a spectacle.

Either way.for the top of theKuromoriorganization to appear, it’s showing that we’re completely separate from Shirasaka Sousuke

There’s no way people related to Shirasaka Sousuke show up in such a public place.

Besides, unless we have Kouzuki-sama’s permission, we can’t stay in this theater.everyone knows that

Un.security’s done by Kouzuki security service.

If we’re related to Shirasaka Sousuke.then we would’ve been kicked out long time ago.

With that said.we will be making a show in here, you should stay a bit away

Minaho-neesan said.

Minaho-neesan, Katsuko-nee, Nagisa and Mao-chan sits side by side. Margo-san and Nei-san seats behind them, pretending to be aguardandattendant Speaking of which.even at the sofa lobby. Minaho-neesan and others are sitting apart from usthe young classon purpose. They only come close to us when they’ve got business with us.

No way.let’s sit together

Minaho-neesan replies to Megu.

You cant.if you sit together with us, they might misunderstand that you’re a newwomanin the brothel you know?

Minaho-neesan calmly said.

Megu, let’s sit here

A sit somewhat across the aisle.

.But, Yoshi-kun

At that time.cheers rose from outside the theater.

.What? The entrance is making a noise.

.KouzukiKakkahas arrived

Margo-san said.

Chapter 233

Before long.it seems that KouzukiKakkahas gone to the second floor.

The entrance to the second floor seat becomes noisy.

Why on the second floor seats?

It’s easier to guard there.besides, high places are identified as a noble status

Michi taught me.

We’re already sitting apart from Minaho-neesan’ssenior group On my right is Mana and Megu is on the left. In the seat behind me, Michi’s seating as Yukino’s lookout. Therefore, Michi speaks from the back whispering to my ears.

The nobles understand that while they’re watching the stage, the other guests will be watching themselves as well

Then.we see KouzukiKakkain our view.

Kakkais wearing a light gray suit. His back is firmly stretched.and his gray hair is trimmed short. Was he doing sports when he was young? It’s a solid physique you won’t think he’s past 80s. He looked around the theater with a pleasing smile.but his eyes aren’t. He seems to be the person at front as the current manager.he has dignity and power. Ah.he’s looking this way. Minaho-neesan and the ladies lower their heads to greet him. Kakkanods his head as if sayingumu With that much.Minaho-neesan has conveyed to the audience that her presence is allowed by KouzukiKakka. .That’s an amazing influence. Kakka’sseat is in the front row of the second floor seats. Un.it’s definitely theKing’s seat

The three people in black suits around Kouzuki-sama are his escorts.

Michi whispers to me.

I see, there’s two men and one woman in black suit aroundKakka I see Chief Tanizawa behind. These people are entrusted withKakka’spersonal protection. These three people are the strongest guards among Kouzuki security service.

The males are Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san. The woman is Seki-san

I follow Michi’s line of sight. The tall man is Ootoku-san. Choumoto-san is the bearded macho type. Seki-san is a black haired beauty.

The hall quiets down.

Is there no need for an applause?

I ask Michi.

Kouzuki-sama hates that kind of thing.

I see.though he’s a noble, he’s not a royalty of a country or something.

If you don’t do the normal reaction, you should bend your stomach. Kakkasits on the front seat on the second floor. Next, a few young men comes in. It’s around 20 people in all. They’re all wearing expensive suits with flashy colors.they’re well behaved and they have a smart looking faces. That group of men occupied the seat behindKakka

Those are the people Kouzuki-sama favors quite a lot

He’s favoring men?

Eh.No way,Kakkais a homo? He’s someone who likes boys?

Ah.I didn’t mean it like that

Michi blushed and corrects herself.

Didn’t mean it like that?

I ask meanly on purpose.

.Master, I have just imagined something I really shouldn’t. Please punish MIchi

She begs me with her ears turning red.

.What do you want?

Michi answers.

Please pinch my butt

.Michi likes to be done in her ass

When I say that.

I’m not.I’m just not confident with my chest.

Michi’s conscious about her being flat?

.I’ll massage it and make it large

.Yes, thank you very much

MIchi raised her ass from her seat.

.Master, please

.Sure

I stretched my hand from the gap of the seats and reached out for Michi’s butt.After enjoying the feel of her ass, I pinched it once.

.Ahn!

Michi raised a painful voice.

Gees.don’t have fun all by yourselves!

Mana tells me furiously.

If you’ve got time to do that then touch Mana’s butt too!

Mana forcibly pulls my left hand to her ass.

Geez.it can’t be helped. I listen to Michi’s talk while massaging Mana’s ass.

Those young men are directly educated by Kouzuki-sama himself. There are those from the bloodline of Kouzuki house.there’s also sons of the director of the company under the close associates of Kouzuki house mixed with them

.In short.

Misuzu’s fiance is among them!

Yes, I do not know who is it but.it’s especially expected from the six people who are right behind Kouzuki-sama. Perhaps, Misuzu-sama and Ruriko-sama’s fiance are in those

I only know the given name.

After Misuzu lost her virginity, she told only me.

.Do you know the names of those six?

Michi answers.

Yes.starting from left, Kouzuki Souji-sama, Kouzuki Satoshi-sama, Kouzuki Subaru-sama, Natsuki Makoto-sama, Shiba Takahiko-sama, and Kata Takashi-sama(奉孝 is read as Guo Jia in chinese tho, I dunno how Bing came up with Takashi)

Takahiko.he’s the second from the left?

So it’s Shiba Takahiko.Misuzu’s fiance. Yup, he’s at university student age. Having silver rimmed glasses, standing tall.he looks the diligent type. He looks good too. There’s no element that I’m likely to win.

.You don’t have to worry. Misuzu-sama loves Master from the bottom of her heart

Michi said as she look at my face.

Un.thanks

The hall that quiets down afterKakka’sarrival becomes noisy again.

The audience seats today have a lot of small children so it’s inevitable. People who are trying to greetKakkaare making a line. Guards in Kouzuki security service uniforms put a line together. Kakkahas the elite children and his guards sitting down so everyone’s greeting him from four meters away. Kakkanods at every person who greets him.

Kouzuki-sama will be in that group, watching from the start of thepresentationto the end

Michi said.

Why? He won’t come to see Misuzu or Ruriko-san?

Having Kouzuki-sama watch over a performer is a status for them.as responsibility of the one with power, Kouzuki-sama will be watching the dance of everyone. Besides.today’s performers may be candidates for fiance for those in the group.

The performers today are all girls who go to Konpeki school’s classroom.

Everyone’s a daughter of a person with powerful position. Their blood and family are in good standing. They’re suitable brides for the young men personally educated by KouzukiKakka

Therefore.those men will be watching from the start to finish too?

Yes, it’s unknown who will be nominated as their partner.they can’t just break off from the dance even if they’re going to marry someone there.

Un.the performing child will continue their daily life.

If they give birth to a child sometime.that child would also be going to Konpeki school. By doing so, entering theheadmaster’s classbecomes a status of the powerful people.

Being toldIt’s amazing to get through there, it’s only for the class of the headmaster of Konpeki school

Mana said.

Ballet or dance classes hasn’t reached this high.Konpeki styleis really an exception

.Why is that so? It has a different history

.History?

The traditional dance headmaster’s system has been there since Meiji-era, but.Konpeki schoolhas students which are daughters of the politicians, and people at the top of business since early stages. Besides, the first, second, third generation.the successive generations of the dancing master are all outstanding dancers.

Michi explained.

What do you mean by outstanding dancer?

For Japanese dance, the most important task is to entrust the choreography of the dance to the best Kabuki actor of that era. Konpeki school has been playing that position since Meiji era

I see.that’s easy to understand.

The school who’s most popular and entrusted to dance the Kabuki actor.prospers. That’s how it is. Misuzu and Ruriko-san.even if they’re heirs of the Kouzuki house, of they’re going to train in dancing, they better enter this class. There are no other options.

I hate traditional Japanese dance.I’m not a Geisha. And when you dance wearing a kimono.it clamps your body. You’re crazy if you’re dancing in that state.your blood circulation will get bad

Yukino said.

Megu, Mana and Michi ignores her. She’s completely neglected.

.I’m talking to you!

Yukino glares at me.

me?

That’s right!Either way, the others don’t have the intention to talk to me!

Yukino’s puffing angrily.

Michi-san.there’s this story about theTongue cutting sparrow, right?

Mana said.

Yes, that is right

If you cut Yukino-san’s tongue, would she be more quiet? .I think a gag would be enough Michi-san.do you have a gag? That kind of thing can be easily made as long as you have a rope. If you ask for it, I can prepare it immediately.

Michi looks at me.

.No, you don’t need to. With Yukino’s current look, a gag would turn this to a horror movie. That would be too bizarre

.it is as you say

Yukino.

i get it, I just have to shut up right? What’s with you! I’m only talking about why I personally don’t like traditional Japanese dance!

.Yukino-san. Just shut up and maybe do your masturbation hobby?

Yukino went silent after being told by Mana.

Mana.that’s bad manners

I scolded Mana.

Sorry

Didn’t you say that you’ll ignore Yukino? .Un .I’ll punish you You’re going to punishme? Onii-chan?

Mana happily smiled.

It’s the opposite.I won’t have sex with Mana for today

Ehh! It’s a punishment so it’s inevitable

I look at Megu.

In that respect, Megu’s great. She’s properly ignoring Yukino

.Isn’t that obvious? It’ll only get my mouth dirty if I talk to that person

.Hmm

I wonder if the reconciliation of thesesisterswill be delayed eternally. .Then. Suddenly, the buzzer informing the curtain rise has rung.

Yoshi-kun.it looks like it’s starting

Megu told me.

A clapping sound echoes! The thick stage curtain rises steadily. Applause comes from the hall.

.Cute!

Yukino mutters.

There’s ten elementary school girls lined up on the stage. The symposiumseems to start from the joint dance of the youngest children. The girls begin to dance, matching the tune of the three string lute.

.Fuji-no-hana.Fuji-no-hana.

As expected of the headmaster’s class’ dance.

It’s not a recording but the three string lute and the song is sung on the spot by a professional. Each of the ten girls are interesting. There’s a girl who’s frozen solid from exerting herself. There’s a child dancing softly while smiling. There’s a girl who’s timing is behind by a tempo as she’s watching over the other girls. On the other hand, there’s a girl who’s tempo is faster. There’s a girl who shoutedAhas she made a mistake in choreography. But still, everyone’s dancing earnestly. There’s no girl who’s dancing negligently.

All of them are cute

Megu said.

Yeah.you’re right.

Yoshi-kun.do you want a child like that?

Megu whispers to my ears.

.Eh?

I imagine.

A girl born with Megu and I as parents. Then, watching my daughter’s dance like this. .It feels very happy.

Yeah.I want one

I answered

Me too

Megu holds my hand.

Mana sensed the good atmosphere between us.

Geez.this hand is Mana’s!

Mana grabbed my other hand.

Both of them are snuggling close with me.

Really.they’re cute aren’t they, Onii-chan

Mana also said as she watch the children’s dance.

Mana also want Onii-chan to see

Mana’s in a dance club too, right?

If I recall.she’s supposed to be in a creative dance club in middle school.

Un. We’re supposed to make a presentation at the school festival but.Mana can’t go to the middle school anymore

As Shirasaka Sousuke’s daughter.she can’t go back to the Ojou-sama school anymore.

How about starting dance again on your new school?

Eh, there’s no way you enter at such a half-complete period But.Mana likes to dance, right? Well.that’s right but.ah, I don’t like creative dances. That’s a strange dance

After saying.Mana looks at my face.

It’s strange.even though I won’t make this kind of talk with Mama or Papa.

.Mana?

It feels like Onii-chan is the mostfamilyto me. I can talk about anything, consult about anything.

Sure, you can consult me about everything. No matter what it is, let’s think about it together .Un

Mana holds my hand tightly.

Ah, but.I won’t do any love consultation!

Mana said with her face turned red.

I’m only for Onii-chan after all.

Saying that.she lets my hand touch her bare legs.

If you have someone else you like.you don’t have to worry about me

Mana got angry when I said that.

Don’t say that even as a joke!

Mana’s eyes are serious.

My body and mind are all owned by Onii-chan. Onii-chan saved me, Mana has to serve onii-chan for the rest of her life! I am proud that Onii-chan made me hissex slave!

Mana has her pride.

As a woman.as a human.

It’s okay for Onii-chan to tell Mana thatI don’t need you anymoreorI’ll give you to othersbut.

I embrace Mana.

I won’t do that. Never. Whatever happens, I won’t abandon Mana!

Then.order me to stay by your side forever. Order me not to like other men!

.Mana looks at me with herwomanface

I want to be bound by Onii-chan.I’m aslaveafter all

.Seriously.

Thissex slaveis too demanding.

Got it.stay by my side. Love me and only me. Don’t ever speak to other men

Okay, Onii-chan!

Mana’s face turned red.

Ah.what should I do?

.What’s wrong, Mana? Ehehe.Mana got wet

.It seems that she has leaked love nectar just from my binding words alone.

This 14 year old girl is very juicy

Mana’s a lewd girl

It’s Onii-chan so I can be naughty!

Mana kisses behind my ears.

.Mana, that’s far enough!

Megu warns her

.I’m sorry

It’s rude to those who are dancing earnestly don’t you think? .Yes

While saying so, Mana whispers in my ears.

Onii-chan.should we hide somewhere and have sex?

It seems that Mana’s body is on fire.

It’s impossible to do in the theater. There will be a guard no matter where

.How about the restrooms? That’s a strictly watched place.the security has strengthened because of white Viola’s infiltration Tsk.that’s a disappointment Besides.have you forgotten?

Mana shows aneh?face as she look up at me.

You’re going to abstain for one time.

That’s right.I just said that a while ago

Geez.Onii-chan you bully!

Mana’s angry.

Therefore.endure it for now. I’ll give you lots of love at night.

I decided to offset Mana’s one day rest to Mana’s current desire to have sex.

Really?Then I’ll endure

Mana’s mood is fixed.

.Night. To tell the truth, I can’t imagine what will happen to us tonight. Once the symposium ends.we’ll head to the hotel and negotiate with Shirasaka family. I have to talk to KouzukiKakkaas well. Then.there’s the confrontation with Cesario VIola. We have to prepare for a long night.

.Yoshi-kun

Megu looks at me.

Don’t worry.I’m sure everything will go well

She said as she has guessed my mind.

Yeah.you’re right

I replied.

.This isn’t good, me. If I show a worried face, Megu and Mana’s face will become gloomy. I have to be calm. Just like Minaho-neesan. Under Minaho-neesan’s usual cold smile.just how much emotion is being hidden there? I’m thankful that I have a reliableelder sisterclose by me.

Ah.it looks like it’s done

Then.the dance of the ten elementary school girls is over.

Lastly, they all lined up in sieza and greets the people. This is the only part they’re all precise. Applause happens from the whole theater. Kakkaapplauds with a satisfied face. Misuzu’s fiance, Shiba Takahiko too. .Huh? Men with bouquet show up from the hall and goes up the stage.

Akiko-chan, here you go!

Kumi-chan.Here!

Everyone seems to be acquainted with the performers.

The girls who finished dancing were handed bouquet from the stage below.

In truth, it’s not good manners but.recently it’s been popular to bring bouquet after the dance after the broadcast of figure skating was seen!

Michi teaches me from the seat behind.

True, it’s not pleasant to see that the ten children weren’t able to accept flowers evenly. There are some girls who have three to four bouquets by themseleves and there’s girls who didn’t even get one. In the first place, it differs to the house’s opinion whether they would give flowers or not. But, well, you can’t tell them to stop. This is quite a difficult problem. At the end of the bouquet presentation.the girls bowed to the audience once again and exit.

The next would be the dance of the third and fourth grade school girls. After that,p the high school. The joint dance seems to be only elementary school girls. Starting middle school, they will dance alone. There seems to be a duo and trio dancing together though.

Megu informs me as she look at the pamphlet

Speaking of which.

Even after the symposium started, the lights on the audience seat didn’t get dark

Usually, shouldn’t the stage be brightened and the audience is darkened?

In this kind of symposium, the traffic on the hall is violent.

Michi explained.

I see, Even though the first dance is just over, there are a lot of people coming out of the hall. They must be the families and acquaintances of the ten elementary school girls who just danced. Are they going to meet them in the dressing room immediately? On the contrary, there’s family of those children from the next dancing group coming in.

In the first place, Japanese dance is independent from Kabuki-dance.in Kabuki, the seats aren’t darkened.

Michi said.

Why?

It’s common for Kabuki to eat meals or drink.if you mawke it dark, it’ll be troublesome for the guests because they can’t see their hands

Is that so?

Therefore.they don’t stop the lights on the audience seats except only when there’s a special effect production.

.Oh.

Michi.you’re quite knowledgeable here

I thought that this girl only thinks about martial arts.

This is because of Misuzu-sama’s education

.Misuzu’s?

As a guard.I attend to Misuzu-sama’s theater-going. At that time, she teaches me various things.

I see.

Misuzu-sama educated me various things so I won’t become someone who only knows martial arts.

That part of Misuzu resembles Minaho-neesan.

Both of them seem to like to plan their education. While thinking about it. The second set of dancers began. The dance of the third and fourth grade school girls are also cute. .Un. Just like that.the dance program progress one by one. Then. When the middle school girls started dancing.

.An incident occured.

Chapter 234

When the two middle school girls finished their dance.

The hall applause.and the dancers give thanks. When the friends of the girls give bouquet from under the stage. A middle aged fat man suddenly approaches KouzukiKakka. He shouted.

.Kouzuki Shigetaka-san! I would like to have an audience with you in regards to my family!

Gold rim glasses, the bald fat man wearing a suit has sweat flowing from his forehead.

Trembling.I understood that it’s not something trivial. Or rather, he looks like he’s drunk.

What? I won’t ever put you to disadvantage!I came here with a good proposal to you!

The man with a strong accent is squeaking with a high pitch.

His face is stiff and his eyes are bloodshot

It’ll profit you, it’ll profit me.it’ll be a WIN-WIN situation.do you get it? A WIN WIN!

The hall fell silent from the sudden situation.

The audience in the hall look atKakkaon the second floor seat. The fat middle aged man tries to approachKakkasomehow but. ButKakkahas a layer of elite youths taught byKakka Therefore that man desperately speaks to Kakka who’s in the front seat of the second floor across the four rows of seats.

.Who is that?

.From which house did he come from? .Speaking rudely to Kouzuki-sama .What does this mean?

Finally.they whisper their doubts.

Kakka’sshowing an unpleasant face.he didn’t face the man who came in.

.Michi. Do you know that is?

I asked Michi who should’ve seen her father’s investigation files.

No.even I don’t know

If Michi doesn’t know him.who’s that?

Hmm.I know

Yukino answered lightly.

You do?

.Why Yukino?

.Un

Then.who’s that?

Yukino answered with a nonchalant face.

Kaneko Nobuo-san

Yukino said.

Oh.is that so?

That’s right.Kaneko Noboo-san

.Kaneko Nobuo

.Hmm Really, who’s that guy?

So who’s Kaneko-san?

I asked.

Granduncle’s aide. The director of the newspaper company.Kaneko-san

Yukino’s great uncle, it’s Shirasaka Moritsugu the head of the household.

In short.it’s a man serving Shirasaka family?

When it comes to the aides.let’s see, he’s around the 20th in the rank. Kaneko-san is low-rank employee

.Low rank? He’s just a director. He doesn’t have titles like managing director or executive director Then.what’s his position?

I don’t get the order in a company.

Well, he’s a director so he’s in a management team just for the names but. Kaneko-san is originally a reporter who worked his way up, he’s a branch manager in the Chuugoku region for a long time. Last year, he finally was called back to the head office and he was promoted as a director

Chuugoku.he was overseas?1

Somehow.I can’t see him being international at all.

Wrong.it’s in Hiroshima

.Hiroshima? Chuugoku region.he’s always been in Hiroshima

Oh.so that’s why he has that accent2

You know a lot about him

I remember him since he make fun of Papa during a party

He made fun of Shirasaka Sousuke?

He’s been the chief in the Chuugoku branch so he’s gotten bossy but.him being a low-rank employee at his age, he had no choice but to bow his head to everyone at the main office. He looks successful but since it’s decided that he’ll retire at the end of his term, he’s more of a downsized

So that’s his position.

Then.why did Kaneko-san who’s going to be downsized in here?

There’s no way I would know that you know?

.As expected of Yukino.

Even though she knows the power relations of Shirasaka family. She doesn’t seem to be interested in what’s happening outside the box.

Perhaps, he came to negotiate with Kouzuki-sama

Michi said.

But.Kaneko-san shouldn’t have that authority

Yukino barks

If this continues.Kouzuki-sama will have a direct confrontation with Mr. Shirasaka Moritsugu so he must’ve felt danger in the current state. I think he approaches Kouzuki-sama to save himself

What does that mean.Michi? For example.telling Kouzuki-sama confidential information in regards to Mr. Shirasaka Moritsugu. Either way, I think he want to gain Kouzuki-sama’s favor

In short.betrayal?

Is Shirasaka Moritsugu’s group that cornered?

You see.I’d like to talk to you by all means! Hey, five minutes will be enough! No, just two minutes. Even if it’s 30 seconds.could you listen to my sincere words?

The excited man desperately screams atKakka

However.Kouzuki-sama won’t listen to him

Michi said.

The information someone below the board of directors is probably not a big deal.this act of treachery might be Shirasaka Moritsugu’s plan

Sending a traitor on purpose?

Then it’s likely that he’s holding fake information.

In the first place.Kouzuki-sama hates such impolite acts.

KouzukiKakka.ignored the man and signaled the guards with his hand.

His gesture is brushing the air. .It’s a sign sayingKick him off

.Excuse me sir

Seki-san, the female guard stands up then approached Kaneko-san.

Seki-san’s poise is graceful and elegant. She’s showing a calm smile on her face. If I wasn’t told by Michi that she’s a guard before this.I’d think that she’s an exclusive secretary or a super beautiful companion. That Seki-san is smiling gracefully.

I’m very sorry but if you want to talk then I will listen to you over there!

That won’t doo!I don’t want to talk to you but Kouzuki Shigetaka-san, only the two of us! Nee-chan, please let me through!

Kaneko-san shouts hysterically.

.Then. The man’s posture suddenly becomes strange.

.Mugi!

My, what happened?

Seki-san is smiling.

Kaneko Nobuo suddenly blew foam from his mouth and fainted on the spot.

My, what tragedy!First aid, we need help here!

Guards in Kouzuki security service uniform already appeared.

The guards immediately take out Kaneko Nobuo.

What a surprise! Well, that person seems to be very agitated.he must’ve drunk a lot of alcohol.right?

Seeing off the man carried outside the theater.Seki-san makes excuses.

.Michi, that just nowー

Yes.Seki-san throws he fist to the old man’s body three times in just a moment

Michi explains.

In the midst of the attention of the crowd. Seki-san knocked out Kaneko Nobuo without anyone noticing.

Seki-san is the most elegant among the people of Kouzuki security service. She blinded the audience with her right arm and punctured three vital points with her left fist.

.Scaryy

Seki-san, she’s seriously scary. Kaneko Nobuo was taken out of the hall and at the same time.KouzukiKakkastands up.

.Everyone. I’m very sorry. This is a common thing in my daily life. Please do not worry!

Calmly.Kakkaspeaks with a dignified voice.

Then, he faced the girls who were on top of the stage, afraid of the sudden incident.

.It’s inexcusable for the dancers to be intruded by a strange person, Sanaka Kana-san. Ohata Marino-san But, I do remember your dance well. It was a good dance. You have practiced well!

Kakkacalls the girls without checking their names from the pamphlet.

The great KouzukiKakkacalled out their names personally.the girls had smiles on their faces.

I’m looking forward to your next year’s dance.please keep on studying from now on

Yes, Thank you very much!

The girls on stage thankedKakka

At that moment.the hall applauded. Kakkaalso claps his hand. Even though the audience is clapping atKakka’sspeech. Kakkaalso claps so it was changed to applause of praise for the girl’s dance. Kakkasits down while the people are clapping The stage assistant comes from the stage and signed the girls to withdraw from the stage. The girls bow to the audience once again and left. .The progress resumes to normal. As if Kaneko Nobuo’s intrusion didn’t happened.

The responsible for the security today, director Yamaoka will have to make a written apology and his salary cut!

Nei-san came to our seat and said.

Hearing that Miss Cordelia and the white Viola infiltrated.I think it shook the security system a lot

Michi said.

In short.as they’re preoccupied by taking Viola countermeasures. They didn’t notice someone from Shirasaka family entering?

Perhaps they’ve put emphasis on checking those who are foreigners, or coming from the US commerce or embassy I guess? Well, they should’ve checked if they’re a member of Shirasaka house either way!

.Kaneko-san was overlooked.

They might’ve not checked someone who’s below the board member of the newspaper company I guess? Either way, they must’ve thought that people related to Shirasaka house won’t be coming here today!

Nei-san laughs.

Well.Kaneko Nobuo might have been not checked.

That’s a big failure

Michi said coldly.

Well, don’t say that.even if the guards are overly serious, this kind of things happen

Un.there’s a lot of mistakes when you’re tense.

Thinking that there’s no way it would happen.you’d get a bit careless, and it’ll turn to an unexpected situation.

Rather, it helps that this kid of mistakes happen. The real thing would be tonight after all

Nei-san said.

Are you talking about Viola not attacking while we’re in the theater?

Miss Cordelia promised that after all

.But

Can she even be trusted?

There’s no way we can.That person is Cesario Viola’s manager .Then Yo-chan.I’m telling you that we’re fine. Even now, those people and us are still in prep time

.Prep time?

Watch the people around carefully.even the general guests and those who wear Kouzuki security service uniforms. Perhaps.a spy from Shirasaka family or someone under Viola has already infiltrated

.Does that mean?

But.it’s not time for the uprising yet. It means that it takes time for the situation to boil down and explode

Nei-san and others have already assumed the next situation.

Look around, if there’s someone strange.then report to Maru-chan immediately. Also.don’t ever go alone. Even in toilet, go with everyone. Mii-chan, take care of them

.Certainly

Michi nods at Nei-san’s words.

That’s all.it was a message from Maru-chan and Sensei!

.Minaho-neesan and Margo-san issued those instructions.

Both of them are already checking theenemiesthat are infiltrating. There’s alreadyenemyin this hall.

Strange people.like that one and that one?

Yukino calmly points at the man who’s near the rear exit of the auditorium.

.Yukino, you?

Well.I’ve seen him at the party at great-uncle’s house

At that moment.Kouzuki security service guards headed to the two people Yukino pointed at.

The two men were taken away in a blink of an eye. .Hm? Is someone watching at us? Is there someone here know that the woman in yellow-black dress is Shirasaka Yukino, observing us?

.Master, above

Michi said.I looked up at the second floor seat.

On the seat behind KouzukiKakka.Chief Tanizawa is looking at us. He’s grinning as he look at me. .Is that how it is? As expected of Chief Tanizawa He’s letting us free and using us to catch theenemy

Yukino.if you find someone strange, don’t point at them anymore

I said.

Eh, why?

If you continue doing that.the enemy sneaking in will pay attention to you. Are you okay being found out that Shirasaka Yukino is here?

.Yukino

i get it

She reluctantly consented

Now then.the schedule of the symposium has the middle school girls end with a trio dance.

Then.the organizer today, Konpeki’s school head will be greeting.

Why are they greeting when half has finished? Shouldn’t they be doing that at the beginning?

I asked.Michi;

At the start of the event.the guests aren’t ready yet

.What do you mean? The people aren’t watching from the first dancers.there are people who will come late as well. Everyone will be visiting according to the time of dance of their acquaintance

I see.it’s different from normal plays.

After this greeting.the dancers will all be by themselves. They’ll all be students who have their skills recognized in the headmaster’s classroom.

Speaking of which.the auditorium is suddenly full.

Of course.everyone are ladies from famous houses.

.I see

From here onwards, it’ll be a competitive show for the marriageable age ladies of the famous houses. It’s also time for the elite young men lined up behind KouzukiKakkato look for their bride candidate. The spirit of the viewers is different from the presentation of the elementary and middle school girls.

.Our class is also able to do a presentation this year again. This is all thanks to everyone’s support. Thank you very much

The headmaster of the Japanese Konpeki-style dance.Konpeki Nadeshiko-sensei is a small lady.

Slim.her spine is stretched. She’s a very elegant and a gentle person.

Konpeki school will also be reaching a hundred years next year. The fact that the school has developed so far, I think that the first generation will be very happy. We will also continue our study.we would like to inherit the tradition of Japanese dance for the next 200, 300 years to come!

The headmaster’s greeting finished after a few minutes.

After a big applause.the second half of the dance begins. The first performer is.

.Kanako-san, she’s so beautiful

Megu mutters.

Un.so beautiful

Mana’s speechless too.

Kanako-san who we just talked to in the lobby a while ago. her dance is very mature.and fascinating. True.there’s a wide difference in skill compared to the dancers on the first half. But.Kanako-san’s really sexy How old is she? When I saw her on the lobby and dressing room, she looks like a high school student but. She’s talking to Misuzu politely, she might be on the same age as me. .Before long. Kanako-san’s dance is over. A storm of applause resounded in the hall. Oh.just like the first half, there’s a guy with a bouquet comes to the stage. .That is .Eh? Kanako-san’s father.the movie actor Horaguchi Fumiya? He came to watch his daughter’s dance! Un.as expected, a genuine actor is gorgeous. His legs are long.his height reaches over 180cm Handing a bouquet from under the stage.Kanako-san kisses her father on the cheek. Then, applause occurs in the hall again.

That’s amazing.having your father come at such times

Mana said.

Mana’s father is going around hell in Australia3

If Mana does something.I’ll definitely come to watch it. I’ll also bring a bouquet

.Onii-chan, really? Yeah.I promise

Mana doesn’t have anyone but me.

I have to do everything as Mana’sFamily.

.Onii-chan, I love you

Mana whispers to my ears.

Then.girls dance one after another.

Un, it’s all splendid dances that’s suitable as the students of the headmaster. The performers are all girls in their late teens.all are beautiful girls.

Is there nobody in their 20s showing up to dance?

I ask Michi.

When you’re over 20 years old.you won’t come to the classroom but on the stage of the headmaster’s dance gathering

Different from the children’s classroom.there’s also a dance gathering for the adult students?

It’s glamorous in another meaning

What’s glamorous?

I asked.Michi;

The costume for the dance is different.in the adult gatherings, you can only wear what the master picks

.Oh, I see.

The money compared to the symposium is already widely different. Right, everyone’s a lady from a rich family after all. Watching this Japanese traditional dance class makes me smile but. The adult gathering seems to be scary.

Misuzu.has been having this daily life since forever

I mutter.

Yes. Misuzu-sama loves dancing after all!

But.

If Misuzu goes out with me, and gets banished from Kouzuki house. She has to quit from Konpeki classroom as well. KouzukiKakkahas too much influence here. Furthermore, from what I’ve heard.it seems that it costs money to continue dancing daily. Can I earn that much money? To a degree that Misuzu can continue her daily life without problems?

.What’s wrong, Yoshi-kun?

Megu peeks to my face.

No.nothing

Let’s not think economics now.

I look up at the second floor seat. Misuzu’s fiance.decided by Kakka .Shiba Takahiko. He’s looking at the stage while happily talking to the man next to him. Yeah.he looks like a serious boy. Good family, good face.tall, perhaps, his educational background is good too. It’s a high-level youth I can’t compare. This guy.anyway, I have to take his marriage rights with Misuzu No matter what method I use. If we can talk, then.

Yoshi-kun.it’s almost Misuzu-san’s turn

.Eh?

Yes. Yoshiko-san, Ruriko-sama, and Misuzu-sama.they will dance in that order.

While I was thinking of various things.

Misuzu’s dance is comig. .I wonder Somehow.I feel my heart throbbing.

It’s something to look forward to.Onii-chan

Mana smiles

.I Rather than looking forward to it. Anyway, I pray that Misuzu can dance safely without troubles .Yeah I’d like Misuzu to dance to her fullest without regret

.Haa

I instinctively sigh.

What’s wrong?

Hmm.somehow, I’m worried

Misuzu.are you not nervous?

You won’t be overwhelmed by this many audience, right? Speaking of which.the audience seats are completely full. Showing off her dance in this much people. If it was me, I’d be scared. Will you be fine.Misuzu?

What’s wrong.restless?

Mana asked.

Well.Misuzu’s turn is about to come

Onii-chan has nothing to be worried about right? .But That’s right, don’t be an idiot

Even Yukino’s laughing at me.

.BUt

.Master loves Misuzu-sama from the bottom of his heart after all

Michi said

.There’s no need for worry, Master

Michi touches my nape from behind

Please take a deep breath.

I breath in deeply and breath out just as Michi told me.

There’s no problem.

Michi said

It’s Master’s Misuzu

My Misuzu

Misuzu-sama has really gotten stronger

1. Chuugoku is also read as China

2. Not that English readers will notice 3. Like fighting spiders with healthbars on top of their heads

Chapter 235

There’s a total of 50 performers coming from Konpeki school who will be dancing.it’s approaching climax soon

In the program, the last dancer would be Konpeki Nadeshiko-sensei’s dance. Before that.Manami-san who’s the granddaughter of the headmaster. Since Manami-san is a candidate for the successor of Konpeki-style, the dance of the two are treated as an exception. In the sense of the presentation of the disciples who go to the dance class itself.there will be three last dancers after this. Yoshiko-san, Ruriko-san.and Misuzu. In short.the granddaughters of Kouzuki house will be presented to the leaders of government and financial circles gathering in the hall today.

Is Yoshiko-san a daughter from a noble family too?

I asked Michi.

Of course. She’s the daughter of Komori-sama.one of Kouzuki-sama’s aides

.What?

.There’s a rumor that he’s Kouzuki-sama’s child

Kakkahas raised Misuzu and Ruriko-san crookedly for his own pleasure.

From the time when they’re born until the two year age difference, that’s all instructed by Kakka Then.even theretainerYoshiko-san who’s been serving Ruriko-san since childhood must also have been born fromKakka’splan Yoshiko-san’s currently 18 years old, a third year high school student. Misuzu’s 17 years old, second year high school student. Ruriko’s 15 years old, third year middle school student.

.It’s starting

Megu whispers to me.

Then.first, Yoshiko-san’s dance begins. Yoshiko-san’s bathing in white light. The performance of the lute prosper the atmosphere

Wow.so gorgeous

Mana admires.

A katsura1 attached to her red kimono.Yoshiko-san’s face made white with make-up. The humbleattendantof Ruriko-san until a while ago, is now a completely different person. So she has this much presence. Normally.she’s trying to erase her presence in front of Ruriko-san as much as possible. That’s not Yoshiko’s deliberate behavior but.she has assumed it’s natural since childhood. She has acquired it habitually. Therefore.when Yoshiko-san dances in the stage alone, her original charm is exposed at once. Beautiful, good style, honest and serious.the ideal girl shows up.

.To dance is to act. If you act something, that person’s original figure will come to surface

Michi said.

.If you have a delicate personality, you’ll dance delicately. If you’re usually deceiving, you’ll only dance crudely in front of people A broad-minded one will dance greatly. Even if you have a good physique, if you’re narrow-minded, you’ll only make a small dance

Dancing shows people’s heart.

The dance choreography is traditional so it hasn’t changed from long ago.and yet, the reason why there’s someone superior or inferior when dancing is because they have different minds

Un.even though they’re only making a set of movement tailored to the music.

Their individuality comes clear.

Yoshiko-san.you’d think that she’d have a generous and warm and comfortable personality just like her lord, Ruriko-san but. Yoshiko-san’s dance is very delicate.and detailed You can tell that her fingertips of her hand and toes dances without distraction. And yet.it doesn’t feel oppressive. Just like a big flower.glossy and gorgeous. Yoshiko-san’s a beauty that’s matured for her age.

.Haa

The dance ended and Yoshiko-san thanked the audience.

Mana leaks a sigh.

That’s unfair.it’s so beautiful and mature

She has shown a dance with a very high level difference compared to the first elementary school girls.

Along with the big applause.people with bouquets come together in front of the stage. There’s 7, 8 young men.

Yoshiko-san’s very popular

Michi said.

Whenever she dances every year.there’s that many men offering her flowers.

But.Yoshiko-san only receives bouquet from the elementary girls, then bows to the hall again.

Unlike Misuzu-sama.Yoshiko-san didn’t have Kouzuki-sama recommend afiancefor her

.I see

They’re not men who just like Yoshiko-san. If they marry Yoshiko-san.they can become acquainted with Kouzuki house through Ruriko-san. With that plot in mind.there’s a lot of them approaching her.

Therefore.Yoshiko-san never accepts bouquet from men

If you receive a bouquet from a man in such a public place.it’ll be misunderstood in various ways.

To avoid that.Yoshiko-san rejects the men’s flowers. That’s what happens every time and yet there’s as much as 8 men carrying a bouquet of flower. .That much It must be really attractive to become friendly with Kouzuki house. Yoshiko-san exits and the lights changed.

It’s Ruriko-san’s turn this time!

Mana looked at me with a smile.

Ruriko-san wearing white clothing appears in the darkness. She sits facing down on the posotion on the stage. Biin, the lute sounds. A strong light shines on Ruriko-san! Ruriko-san’s costume is embroidered with silver. The silver thread reflects the light and shine brightly. Ruriko-san looks up. .Then begins to dance.

.!!!

The atmosphere of the audience changed instantly.

Ruriko-san’s dance is beautiful. It’s like a beautiful flower blooming on top of the mountain where no one can reach. It’s a sacred flower that would shatter at the moment a person’s hand touch it. It’s a clear and pure soul incompatible to the world where humans live. Yoshiko-san’s dance shows that she’s an attractive girl who’s maturing but. Ruriko-san’s a fairy. She’s no human. Pure.no,I can feel her soul that’s just too pure.

.That girl’s so pitiful

Yukino mutters

Even though she’s so alone.she only thinks that it’s natural for her.

I’m surprised from what Yukino said,

Ruriko-san’s different from everyone. She’s living on a different world. Even if she looks the same.she seems different from other people. Even with Yoshiko-san, her attendanthas always been by her side. Ruriko-san, the successor of Kouzuki family is living on a different dimension. That’s the extent.Kakkahas isolated Ruriko-san from this world. The audience see the girl on the stage as a pretty and pure fairy. I was the same. Yukino’s the only one. She’s the only one who saw Ruriko-san as a 15 year old human girl.

.In that girl’s world, there’s no one but her

Ruriko-san’s dance continues.

.Un Only the stage feels like a different world. Ruriko-san’s in a really far away place. As if we’re watching a satellite broadcast. Yes.it’s earth and moon away. And yet.Ruriko-san is happily dancing in a sanctuary where she’s alone. She’s waving at us from the other world. She’s sending a one way traffic. What a sad dance. The spectators misunderstands her dance.misunderstanding the feeling out of place as a wonderful power of expression, they’re amazed by it.

Ruriko-san looks very cold

Mana’s mutter expressed everything.

Ruriko-san has no one to warm up together.

Even though it’s so cold.she’s smiling

An innocent soul that doesn’t notice that she’s lonely.

She only knows her solitary world. In her life, it’s natural for her to be in solitude. Ruriko-san smiles alone, plays alone in extreme solitude. And yet.she’s turning her face towards us. She’s smiling at our distant world .That is. The way of life KouzukiKakkaforced into her. As the daughter of Kouzuki house. .Before long. The communication from the distant world ended. Ruriko-san’s dance.

.Waa!

At the moment Ruriko-san bow to thank!

The entire hall applauded loudly. Everyone.what they saw just now. They only think of it as a wonderful dance. They haven’t noticed Ruriko-san’s expression of her solitary soul.

.!!!

.Then.

I’m surprised. Ruriko-san who finished dancing. There’s nobody coming with a bouquet.

.What’s going on?

I ask Michi

It’s considered to be a vicious performance if you give flowers to Ruriko-sama.

.Hmm

When you try to give the granddaughter of KouzukiKakkaflowers in public.you’ll likely to be resented and envied from the shadows. Therefore.it has become an untold agreement that nobody would give Ruriko-san flowers. .But. Is this okay? Will it benefit Ruriko-san to have such strange special treatment? Even though Ruriko-san danced with all her best. Not only applause from far away.shouldn’t you deliver your feelings properly? .I!

.Ruriko-chaan! That was awesome!

I stand up from my seat and shouted loudly.

This might be vulgar. This might be foolish. But, I didn’t think of those.

Hey, stop that. That’s disgraceful

Yukino tries to stop me but.

Like hell I care!

.That was very beautifuul!

I applaud Ruriko-san loudly while standing up.

I might be picked up by the guards. But.I had to do something. Ruriko-san makes a surprised face. The audience also fell silent in an instant from my barbaric act.

.Bravo! Bravoo! Ruriko-saan!

Nei-san followed me and stood up clapping her hands.

She understands my feelings.

.Ruriko-saan! That was so cool!

Following.Mana gets up and clapped her hands.

.That was wonderful!

Megu stands up.

.That was satisfying!

Michi too.

If I was alone, it would only look like a mischievous kid’s prank but. When everyone stands up.it’ll become a standing ovation.

BRAVO!!!

Margo-san stood up shouting in English!

Minaho-neesan and others know that they can’t move because there are the guests ofKuromorihaving eyes on them. Yukino.she shows a face of giving up. .then.

OH!BRAVO!BRAVO

A foreigner’s voice comes from a place different from us.

Looking at it.in the middle of the seats where foreigners gather, one white man gives a standing ovation. Perhaps.it’s someone from American government who came to see today’s performance. It seems he responded to Margo-san’sBRAVO Immediately after.the surrounding Americans stood up and applauds too.

.BRAVO!!!

After that, the atmosphere of the hall has changed.

The ordinary Japanese crowds stand up and give Ruriko-san an applause too. Lastly.even KouzukiKakka Of course, the elite group behindKakkareads the atmosphere and stood up as well. Finally.the whole venue storm up with a standing ovation. Minaho-neesan, Katsuko-nee, Nagisa and Mao-chan too are also clapping their hands. Yukino’s the only one sitting. Also.the three guards ofKakka. Ruriko-san seems to be embarrassed at the start but she soon calmed down and expressed her gratitude.

.Master, please seat down before others

Michi told me.

IN this case, the first one who sits down won’t be noticed

True.it would stand out if the guy who started the standing ovation is still standing.

I take a seat.Megu and Mana follows. The clapping gradually subsided and the audience who stood up sits down. Ruriko-san smiles and thanked the audience once again.then she left to the stage wing.

.Misuzu-san will be in trouble after this

Mana said

It might be hard to dance after a standing ovation

Shit.I didn’t think of that

It’ll be fine

Michi told me

Misuzu-sama will rather fire up after this!

.Is that so? Yes.please trust Misuzu-sama

Un.let’s do that

Misuzu.do your best .Then Misuzu appears on the stage. The hall quiets down. Misuzu sits in the middle of the stage. The atmosphere of the audience finally calms down. The lute sounds quietly. The lighting of the stage grows brighter.

.Bibiin!

Misuzu raises her face.

She’s wearing a crimson clothing. Face painted in white. Scarlet lips. .Beautiful. My Misuzu’s divinely beautiful.

.!

A different air comes from the hall just like with Ruriko.

Everyone’s admiring Misuzu’s beauty. Misuzu stands up and opens up her fan. Misuzu’s dance is a dance of love. A dance of a girl who just discovered love. Growing up to be an adult.it’s a suitable dance for the 17 years old Misuzu.

.this is frustrating

.Megu?

Why, Misuzu-san who’s a year older than me.that beautiful

Megu envies Misuzu’s beauty

.I’m no match

.Megu

You don’t have to

I tell Megu

Misuzu has hers.and Megu has her own charm too. There’s no need to compete with each other

Un.I know that but

Megu fell silent.

Misuzu on the stage is different from Ruriko-san. Misuzu’s on the same world as we are. In the same space.knowing love, a girl writhes from it. The shaking of her heart can be seen in Misuzu’s dance. A girl who’s confused about love. But still, the flames of affection burns passionately. Burned by the passion.the girl dances violently. I. I remember having sex with Misuzu. The first.the innocent losing her virginity. Misuzu woke up as a woman bit by bit. Now.Misuzu knows the pleasures of sex. .Misuzu. My Misuzu. Misuzu on the stage.I see her having sex with me. Misuzu has changed from girl to a woman.she’s reproducing that in a dance. Inside my head. Misuzu’s luxurious clothes disappear. Misuzu’s dance.the soft body under her clothing has become transparent. Even her white socks.the fingertips of her pink foot, I know that. I know Misuzu’s whole body. Misuzu’s body is an unknown place. I know the feeling of her skin.her embrace.the flexibility of her body. Only I who have ejaculated inside Misuzu many times knows how Misuzu trembles in pleasure. I’ve seen, touched, embraced her. The body expression of a woman who’s loving is very mysterious. Perhaps.I’m the only one who can see her different dance in this hall. Every time Misuzu flutters.I remember her body. No.not just her body, .Her heart. I feel Misuzu’s heart burning like a fire. Even though her words are calm and polite.Misuzu’s always passionate. I can see her passion in the dance. Un.this is Misuzu. A dance only Misuzu can do. It’s very lovely. This time.that body.that heart. I want to embrace it tightly in my arms. This girl’s mine.I want to declare it to the world.

Misuzu-sama today is at her peak

Michi said.

She’s perfectly dancing with her mind and body!

Un.Misuzu’s amazing.

The dancing figure of the girl in love takes the hall’s breath away Misuzu’s dancing violently in the stage.seeking her loving partner. .Then. The passion remains dripping.her dance reached the climax. Beyond the fan.looking up at the person she’s in love with. The hot dance of love ended. Closing the fan.Misuzu bows to the audience. .For a moment. I didn’t need to do anything anymore. The audience voluntarily stormed a standing ovation!

.I’ll polish myself even more

Mana said.

Mana won’t lose to Misuzu-san. If this continues, she’ll take Onii-chan away

Hey hey, don’t make strange worries It’s fine! I’ll do my best either way! I hate to lose against Misuzu-san!

.Either way, it’s good that they’re positive.

I also.I’ll do my best in the next competition

Megu also speaks frustrated.

I only can do running but I won’t lose. I’ll enhance myself just like Misuzu-san

The two seems to have seen Misuzu’s dance as such.

.Kuromori-sama

A voice called me from the back.

Oh right, I’m Kuromori Kounosuke right now. Turning back.Kanako-san’s standing there. Kanako-san’s holding a big bouquet.

.Misuzu-san asks Kuromori-san to bring this

Kanako-san smiles at me.

.Does that mean? Looking at the stage.Misuzu’s looking at me with a serious face. It’s the same as Ruriko-san a while ago. Though there’s applause.There’s nobody trying to give Misuzu flowers. The act of giving flowers the daughters of Kouzuki house in public is a taboo as expected. Misuzu’s telling me to violate that taboo. Giving her a bouquet of flowers in front of the famous people and her grandfather.KouzukiKakka

.Yoshi-kun

Megu looks at me.

.Onii-chan

Mana also looks up.

I. If Misuzu wishes for it.then I’ll accept everyhing

Kanako-san.thank you

I take the bouquet from Kanako-san

Misuzu has prepared herself for this beforehand All of the flowers are red roses.

.I’m going

I begin to walk down the stage

.At that moment. The surrounding audience were at unrest. They’re surprised that someone’s breaking the taboo. The waves of unrest spreads across the entire audience. .Like hell I care. I head straight towards the stage. Misuzu’s waiting. Misuzu.I.

.Misuzu!

I hand Misuzu the bouquet from down the stage.

Misuzu.

I believed that you would come!

She happily accepted the bouquet.

At that moment.

eeh! whyy!

A scream comes from the second floor seat.

The source of the voice is Misuzu’s fiance. Shiba Takahiko’s mouth is opened wide in surprise.

Geez.please look this way. Danna-sama

I look back at Misuzu.

Misuzu’s face is beautiful.

Misuzu.i loveyou

Me too.I love you

Misuzu reaches for me.

I hold her hand.

.Please get up the stage, Danna-sama

.Misuzu?

.Oh

Pulled up by Misuzu.I got up the stage.

The people’s hot gaze gathered on the two of us.

Danna-sama.I love you!

Misuzu jumps to my chest!

Chapter 236

Misuzu holding a bouquet embraces me on the stage.

The whole theater fell silent. Everyone doesn’t know how to respond. The audience gaze concentrated on KouzukiKakkawho’s on the second floor seat.

.Danna-sama, please embrace me tightly

Misuzu whispers to me.

Misuzu is widely announcing thefianceset byKakka Nobody knows who thefiancebefore. Therefore.the audience are imagining two cases in this situation.

Case 1: I’m Misuzu’sfiance.and this performance is to show me off

Case 2: Misuzu’s going againstKakka’swill.and she tried to make it an established fact that she has a lover other than herfiance

But.Case 1 can’t be true.

There must be nobody among the spectators think that I’m Misuzu’sfiance I’m not someone who has a good blood lineage that suitsKakka’seyes. I’m stupid.just a while ago, I did an act that disturbed the place Among the people in this hall.I’m someone who didn’t follow the rule of the upper class people. Such a dangerous and stupid man.there’s no way KouzukiKakkawould entrust his treasured granddaughter to him. .Besides. If Misuzu’sfianceis in this place.he’s supposed to be among the elite young menKakkaeducates personally. Actually.the truefianceShiba Takahiko is in there.

.what’s going on?

A shout coming from the second floor seats.

The handsome boy with an intellectual looking glasses is stunned. Yup.as expected, elite people are weak to sudden accidents. He’s named as Misuzu’sfiance he must be thinking that he’s already a life winner by 20 years old. .Sorry but, Misuzu’s mine. I’ll never give her to you. I embraced Misuzu strongly. .The hall remains silent. KouzukiKakkais looking down at us expressionlessly. Nobody would react without knowing howKakkawill move. Far from booing or making a fuss.everyone’s just paying attention toKakkaholding their breath. Minaho-neesan too.they’re not moving. If it’s discovered that I’m a member ofKuromorihere.it would be bad Megu and Mana are just silently watching the stage. .Then. Clap.a sound of applause. .It’s not from the audience seat. The sound can be heard from the stage side. Ruriko-san who just finished her turn appeared on the stage. She’s smiling. She’s applauding Misuzu and me. Following.Yoshiko-san. The clapping sound became two. After that.from the audience seat as well. It’s Nei-san. The world doesn’t know that Nei-san’s inKuromori.she’s applauding us with a full smile on her face. Joining the applause.Megu, Mana, and Michi. Margo-san too. Yukino’s looking at us with a stunned expression. The other spectators are puzzled. Ruriko-san walked towards us without hesitation.

.Ruriko’s impressed by Misuzu-oneesama’s courage

She told Misuzu.

I.

.Misuzu

Yes, Danna-sama

Misuzu looks up.

Can you share your flower with Ruriko-san?

When it comes to this.

What I want to do.No, I thought I’d do everything that I should do Misuzu noticed my aim right away.

Yes.Danna-sama

Smiling.she presented the bouquet of roses to me

I pulled out a flower from that.

Ruriko-san.here

I offered a rose to Ruriko-san in front of the big crowd.

Uhm.Me too?

Ruriko-san’s surprised.

Ruriko-san practiced really hard.so you can dance on this stage today, didn’t you?

I said clearly.

The elementary school girls got flowers from practicing hard.I think it would be strange if Ruriko-san doesn’t get any flower from anyone.

Misuzu follows up.

Misuzu also pulled one flower.

Please take one from me too

.Ruriko-san.

She received the two flowers from Misuzu and me.

It’s my first time in my life accepting flowers like this.

Ruriko-san smiles.

Thank you very much. Onee-sama.Onii-sama!

Ruriko-san called meOnii-samain front of the audience

KouzukiKakka’sgranddaughters.the successors of Kouzuki house. The daughter of the eldest son.Ruriko-san. The daughter of the second son.Misuzu. There are no other successors of Kouzuki house. The two granddaughters who pretended to be fighting for succession because ofKakkais getting along well. Ruriko-san has also shown and accepted me as Misuzu’s lover. The ripple of unrest spreads in the theater.

.Clap clap clap clap.

An applause occurs once again.

It wasKakka Kakka’sclapping at us His face is still expressionless. Perhaps.he’s violently angry at Misuzu and me. But.for him to applause here. Kakkais thinking that he has to show the depth of his tolerance. The elite people aroundKakkaalso joins in the applause. As expected, Shiba Takahiko’s not joining in. Everyone’s making a sour face. For them, I’m an outrageous outlaw. This man is making a move on Misuzu and Ruriko-san. Normally, it’s an act absolutely unacceptable for a man with a status like me. But.just to smooth this atmosphere. In order to not be crushed byKakkaand Kouzuki house.they reluctantly clap their hands. That applause continued to the percent of the people in the venue. A mindless applause happens just to follow Kouzuki house. A percent of them are dumbfounded. The remaining people pretended they didn’t see anything or think about the future. This is the adult’s.the world of the upper-class? In that situation.only Nei-san and Megu and girls are continuing their sincere applause.

.Onii-sama, you really are a courageous one

Ruriko-san said while looking at the two roses

It’s not.Ruriko-san. It’s not courage

Misuzu tells Ruriko-san.

This is love

Looking at her own bouquet.Misuzu speaks.

Ruriko-san shows a?face

.Please return soon. The program will be hindered if you stay here

Yoshiko-san tells us

Right.Manami-san and the headmaster has to dance.

Un.you’re right

I tried to get off the stage in a hurry.

But.Misuzu doesn’t let go of my hand.

Danna-sama.don’t go there

i see.

It would be bad if I return back to the audience. The spectators will notice Megu and others. It’ll become impossible to join back with Minaho-neesan,

Let’s go to the side together

Got it

Misuzu pulled my hand and we went to the stage side.

Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san too. After we left, the stage assistants prepare for the next dance in panic. The next dancer.the granddaughter of the headmaster, Manami-san’s already in standby.

I’m sorry, Manami-san.I’ve disturbed the atmosphere

Misuzu apologizes to Manami-san.

It’s okay.please don’t mind it

Even though it’s her turn.Manami-san smiled at us with a soft expression.

Rather than that.I’m moved. Your beloved has come and you jumped on his chest. I envy you. Misuzu-san, please be happy!

.Manami-san?

Manami also can’t decide her own marriage partner on her own.

.I see. Her too.

She’s forced to marry against her will for the sake of Konpeki school?

Don’t assume that it is your fate.

Misuzu said.

I’ve always thought of the same thing. That I have no choice but to live in the condition set by my Grandfather. But, I’m mistaken

Misuzu’s seriousness is being conveyed to Manami-san.

On the side, Ruriko-san is listening to the conversation of the two.

Then.I can’t be happy

Misuzu’s happiness.

Even if the house is peaceful.I.there’s no meaning if I’m not happy. We are all born to be happy after all

.Misuzu.

Therefore.love and courage. If you have to se two, no matter what happens, you’ll be able to live happily!

Manami-san’s body trembles.

You’re right, Misuzu-san.I must not just arbitrarily decide that the it’s inevitable because it’s my fate

Manami-san smiles.

Love and courage to be happy.Manami has learned something. Thank you very much

Manami-san shows a refreshed look.Ruriko-san’s face isn’t clear.

Manami-san.please

The stage assistant talks to Manami-san.

Yes.I’m coming right away!

Manami-san turned back to Misuzu and Ruriko-san.

I’m going.Manami will dance with her best. With love and courage!

Then.Manami-san heads to the stage.

We watch Manami-san’s dance from the stage side.

Then.everything has gone away. At the moment she started dancing.she grasped the hear of the audience. After thirty seconds.everyone’s concentrated on Manami-san’s dance. Nobody’s thinking about Misuzu and me anymore. No.they can’t think. The dance of the future head.is on a completely different level from the disciples of the class. Until earlier, I thought that I can see the person’s nature by watching their dance. Every Japanese traditional dance has it’s own story. The dancer is playing the character in the story. Even though they should be dancing as someone not themselves. For some reason, you could see through the dancer. Yoshiko-san’s dance.and the current Yoshiko-san. Ruriko-san and the current Ruriko-san Misuzu’s dance and the current Misuzu’s mind and body. They’re exposed. The more they perform.as if taking of their clothing piece by piece. The mind and body of the dancer has become naked. As for Misuzu’s dance.I see a naked Misuzu. Therefore.I thought that she’s expressing her naked mind and body. But.looking at Manami-san’s dance. That thought of mine is a mistake.

Our dance only passes as an amateur’s practice.

Misuzu mutters.

Manami-san will become a first class Japanese dancer.

Manami-san on the stage.

She’s completely nude at once. After revealing Manami-san’s nature. She has dressed as the person in the story expressed by dancing.

Everyone’s wearingclotheson top of their true nature

Misuzu said.

On their naked self.they wear clothes that wouldmake them dominate sociallyorI’d like to look good in front of everyoneso they wearclothesto hide their heart. Dressing up that way.it’s our usual appearance of concealing our true self

.Un

When trying to express something.the fakeclothesget in the way. Wearing those clothes for your daily life, you become a creature that must act one’s expression on top of wearingclothes But, just by wearing it.you can’t express yourself freely anymore

While Manami’s dancing seriously.Ruriko-san’s also listening to Misuzu’s talk.

Therefore.the headmaster told usWhen you’re dancing, you must release your mind and body first. You should take off all of the fake clothing you usually wear

You can see it well when you’re watching from the stage side.

Manami-san’s completely holding the atmosphere of the theater. Manami-san’sQi.and all of the audience have theirQiconcentrate and matches with Manami-san. The weight of the stage is equal to the weigh of the audience. The dance of the girl swallows hearts of this many people.

We’re still inexperienced.our hands are already filled by just taking it off. But, Manami-san’s a genuine dancer.she can take everything off, get naked.and wear the clothesof the person she has to act!

That’s right.

The dancing Manami-san right now can’t be seen as Manami-san at all. I can only think of her as a completely different person from the one we talked to just a while ago. No.she’s not a girl living in the modern day Japan. The story of the dance.is a woman living in the ancient era. A very attractive person from the first time you see her. It’s not Manami-san.it’s a charming woman dancing on the stage.

I also want to dance like that

Ruriko-san said

I want to become.not myself

.Oh

As expected. She’s suffering from the life forced to be the daughter of Kouzuki house. Just like the former Misuzu

.It depends on Ruriko-san

Misuzu said.

I have changed. No.nothing has essentially changed. I have taken off my falseclothing.and Danna-sama has accepted the naked Misuzu

Misuzu said.Ruriko-san turns around

I’m always naked in front of Danna-sama. It feels very pleasant. I won’t let go!

Misuzu cuddles to me.

And.Danna-sama as well. Danna-sama is someone who’s always naked in front of anyone at anytime. I love that part of him!

Misuzu rubs her cheeks on my chest.

Ruriko-san didn’t reply. Her face shows she’s thinking. After that, she returned her eyes to Manami-san’s dance. Manami-san’s expressive dance that goes beyond space and time continues .Before long. Just like the flow of water. Without any stagnation.Manami-san’s dance ended. At the moment Manami-san bows to give thanks. The hall was filled with thunderous applause. .Un The event with Misuzu and me was completely blown away. Manami-san’s has small children bringing her bouquet. Since young men didn’t come.she’s on the same situation as Misuzu and Ruriko-san, she’s not allowed to freely mingle with men. Holding the bouquet, Manami-san once again thanked the audience. A big applause happens in the theater again. Pushed by the cheers.Manami-san comes back to the stage side.

That was wonderful.Manami-san

Misuzu praises Manami-san.

It’s love and courage.Misuzu-san’s words has cut off something

She said and laughed

You danced carefree more than usual. It was a good dance but don’t be conceited

Turning back tot he voice.The headmaster of Konpeki school, Konpeki Nadeshiko-sensei stands wearing her costume.

Right, for the conclusion of today’s event. The head will be dancing after this

Yes.grandmother

Manami-san lowers her head to her grandmother

.Nadeshiko-sensei. I’m very sorry for making a fuss

Misuzu apologizes to the headmaster.

My.did anything happen?

Nadeshiko-sensei plays dumb

I might not be able to attend the class anymore.

.Misuzu

She’s prepared to be chased out of Kouzuki house after invokingKakka’swrath. I hold Misuzu’s hand softly

Thank you for everything up until now. I won’t forget Sensei’s kindness

Misuzu’s not thinking about the possibility that I’ll be forcibly separated from her byKakka

Whatever happens.I know that she intends to be by my side. Nadeshiko-sensei.

Misuzu-san.the wafuku’s kimono is structured to envelop the human body, isn’t it?

.Yes?

Misuzu’s puzzled from the sudden words of the headmaster.

When dancing, the dancer gets distracted by the state of their bodies but.the guests can only see the body line of the dancer wearing the Kimono

The headmaster smiles.

Therefore.try to devise and dance showing the kimono line clearly. Then.concentrate on the thumb of your foot when turning. Think of it as an axis.

.Nadeshiko-sensei There’s no need to stop.let’s see. Suppose that happens, you can pay for the tuition when you succeed in life. From now on, come to practice like usual. You have danced so much already, it would be a waste to stop

Nadeshiko-sensei said.

thank you very much

Misuzu’s moved.

Ruriko-san, Yoshiko-san.Manami-san too

You.what’s your name?

The headmaster looks at me.

.Kuromori

I have no choice but to answer that

Please help Misuzu-san okay.

Yes, I’ll make her happy!

At that moment.it seems that setting the stage has finished.

Then.I’ll be going

Watching the young disciples.Nadeshiko-sensei heads to the stage.

Chapter 237

Nadishiko-sensei.has given me the oral tradition

Misuzu’s having tears in her eyes.

What do you mean?

I asked.

In the Japanese traditional dance, there’s no such thing as manual or instruction book. Everything that’s important is taught by the master to her disciple.directly by word of mouth

In the current situation where Misuzu might be chased out by Kouzuki house and have to quit the headmaster’s class.

And yet, Nadeshiko-sensei gave Misuzu the oral tradition.

Isn’t that great.Onee-sama. Nadeshiko-sensei has recognized Onee-sama as her disciple

Ruriko-san said.

Misuzu’s no longer a student on the classroom for the children of political and business bigshots. She’s officially recognized as a disciple of Nadeshiko-sensei. Therefore, she said that she can pay her tuition when she succeed in life. She’ll teach Misuzu after this regardless of her relation with Kouzuki house.

Danna-sama.I!

Misuzu cries in my chest.

It was conveyed to Nadeshiko-sensei that Misuzu worked her hardest

Misuzu nods.

To be honest.I’m a bit envious. Right, Yoshiko?

Yes.Ruriko-sama

The master and theattendantthree years older smiles at each other.

Both of them are smiling for Misuzu.

Here.don’t cry. Nadeshiko-sensei’s dance is starting

Misuzu.

Yes! Danna-sama!

She looks up at me with her moist eyes

.It seems that the stage is prepared Konpeki school headmaster – Konpeki Nadeshiko-sensei’s dance begins.

.!

From the moment the lute sounds.sensei lifts her face.

I feel my body pierced. No, it’s not just me.’ The entire hall shook from every stroke of Nadeshiko-sensei. .what’s this? Nadeshiko-sensei’s dance changed to a young maiden’s dance. She looks like a teenage girl. An innocent girl who doesn’t know love. Behavior.movement.and her heart. It has become a young maiden. The girl soon.discovers love A shy gesture. Eyes yearning for a man. Then the girl is also stared by the man she loves. From there, she immediately became amother From a small child to a young mother That amorousness. The glamour.and her affection for her child. The love for her husband The mind and body at the prime of womanhood dances beautifully. Then light narrows from there. In accordance to the change of light.the woman turns old. The old lady staring at her grandchild dearly. She would like to play with her grandchild but the old lady can’t catch up the movement of the grandchild running around her. The old lady stops and puts her hand on her waist. She recollects her past days. When she was still young, a small girl. .Then. The olod lady turns back to a girl again. Returning to the innocent bright girl, dancing.dancing. Then, climax. At the moment the lute’s sound stopped.

The girl returns to the old lady.

She thanked the audience as an old lady. Nadeshiko-sensei’s dance ends. The reverberation of the dance is too impressive. The hall was silent.

BRAVO!!!

The guest from US first stands up and gives a standing ovation!

The other spectators back up that voice. The grand applause and cheer wrap the theater A lot of children.and adults alike. They show up under the stage holding a bouquet. Nadeshiko-sensei smiles and accept all of the bouquets. She entrusted the bouquet she can’t hold to her disciples. Nadeshiko-sensei receives the flowers from each and every one personally. .It’s the opposite of Misuzu and Ruriko-san. Nadeshiko-sensei receives the flowers from the guests equally. She accepted all of the flowers.

Thank you.Makie-chan

Thank you, Yoshikawa-san. It’s been a while Thank you, Tano-san. Are you doing well? Thank you for every year. Kawasaki-san

She surely say something with a smile.

That is the person that stands on the school.the duty of the headmaster. When the bouquet presentation was over.the stage assistant handed the headmaster a microphone.

Everyone.thank you very much for watching till the very end

Nadeshiko-sensei bows her head and another big applause occurs.

This gathering is a presentation of my students. To be honest, for someone with my age, I’m no match against their young one’s vigor and greatness

Nadeshiko-sensei said with a smile.

In a normal dance, an old woman like me forces to dress young and dance but, everyone’s saying praises such asthe elders are always working very hard. It went wellhowever.this gathering is a place where genuine young girls work so hard to show their achievements to everyone, my usualdressing youngerloses to them. Therefore, every year, we show off a dance with a different taste than usual .We look forward for that every year!

A voice of an elder comes from the second floor seat.

Thank you for each and every year.

The audience applauds at the headmaster’s words.

A year period seems long but it’s over in an instant. The children are progressing very well. The children who performed their dance in front of everyone.next year, they’ll practice even more and will become a dancer who’ll make a big progress

I look at Misuzu.

Huh, the performers today won’t go up the stage to make a greeting?

Normally, isn’t that how you end the show?

Well.there are girls who have returned home already.

.whut?

The elementary school girls who came out first.when their turn is done, their family will pick them up and go out for a family dinner

Not watching the other’s dance at all?

They’re not interested in anyone but their own grandchild

Oh.so the rich people in the upper class

are that kind of people.

Of course, most of the girls remain in the end but there’s also a party that doubles a social gathering

But.if the performers are incomplete, the last greeting would be impossible.

RatherWhy is this girl not in there?.and it’ll be discovered. Rumors likeThat house is impoliteand it might develop into some strange opposition between houses.

The headmaster’s work is really hard

Yes

Misuzu answers.

.Then, see you next year. Please look forward to the further growth of the children. Thank you for coming today!

Nadeshiko-sensei bows to the crowd!

Thunderous applause comes from the audience seats. The stage curtain comes down. The headmaster keeps her bow until the curtains close down completely. When the curtain closed and the applause quiets down.she raised her face. She speaks to the staff with a smiling face.

Good job everyone

Today’s performers gather around the headmaster.

Girls who are still in their costume and girls who have changed their clothes as well. There’s also a girl who’s halfway in changing her clothes.having only make-up on her face.

Thanks for the hard work.Sensei

Thank you very much.Sensei

Diligent girls are in here as well.

They’re all not a child of an egoistic parent.

Yes, cheers for today. The staff will be cleaning up in here. It’s dangerous so let’s go back to the dressing room so you won’t get in the way of the men’s work

Saying that.the girls head to their dressing room.

On the way, she turned to us and smiled. We bow our heads.

She’s really a good person

She’s our teacher after all!

.Now then

Now that the curtains have fallen.the assistants comes to clean up things. Organizing props.removing the sleeve curtain. Extracting the color filter from the backdrop lights. We would just hinder them by staying here. For the time being.we go to the stage side where there’s no people.

.Thanks for the hard work today. Ruriko-san. Yoshiko-san

Misuzu thanks her cousin and it’sattendantonce again.

Thanks for the hard work. Misuzu-oneesama

Thanks for the hard work. Misuzu-sama

Both of them returned their greetings.

Today’s symposium was wonderful.I was able to get along with Onee-sama

Ruriko-san said.

Onii-sama.thanks for the flower

She also smiled at me.

There’s two roses from Ruriko-san’s hand.

Yoshiko.I want to keep this flower as a dry flower

That’s a good idea

I’m glad she’s that pleased.

.Now then,.

Misuzu.I should go back to the audience soon

Misuzu and Ruriko-san’s are still in their stage costumes.

Their faces are still white with make-up They’re going to fix in the dressing room. I’d be in the way. I’m worried about everyone in the audience too.

Danna-sama.it’s impossible right now

Misuzu speaks strongly.

That’s right! Onii-sama!

Ruriko-san too.

Eh.why?

Or rather.what impossible?

There are still some guests remaining.if you go back to the audience seat right now, Danna-sama will gather a lot of attention!

.Right

I started the standing ovation on Ruriko-san’s dance. I even handed a bouquet on Misuzu who’s not supposed to be given flowers.on top of that Misuzu embraced me and we disappeared on the side. Everyone wants to know my true identity. No, there would be some who’d like to kill me. Especially Misuzu’s fiance.

I think you should stay in our dressing room for a while

Misuzu proposed.

But.you three have to change, right?

Misuzu aside.Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san must hate to have a man in their dressing room.

My, I don’t mind

.Ruriko-san

Kuromori-sama is Onii-sama.it’s a bit embarrassing but I don’t mind. Right, Yoshiko?

Yes. Kuromori-sama is someone Misuzu-sama trusts.so we do trust you

I’d be troubled if you trust me like that.

Well, if they tell me to close my eyes, I’ll just do that.

Besides.we’re heading to the shower room. Should we change clothes in there too?

Right, Ruriko-sama

.Shower?

There’s make-up on my face.the light on the stage is hot. It’s sticky sweaty under the Kimono

Misuzu said.

We’ll take a shower right away so Danna-sama can wait in the dressing room

That’s fine but.I have to contact Minaho-neesan How about calling them using the phone in the dressing room? They should be able to receive radio waves in the lobby

I guess.

Yes.there’s no need to return to the audience!

A sudden voice comes from the back.

I feel chills from my back. That is bloodthirst.

Kakkais waiting for both of you to come!

Turning round.a smiling beauty is standing there.

That woman is. One of KouzukiKakkathree guards. If I recall.it’s Seki-san. Earlier,p she’s the one who beat down the man who spoke toKakka

.What do you mean?

Misuzu glares at Seki-san.

It is as I just said. I’ve received an order fromKakka He asked to bring the two of you. If they resist.I can twist the neck of the man. I was ordered to bring him even if he’s a corpse.

Seki-san looks at me.

Bringing me even if I’m dead?

Then.what shall you do?

Seki-san smiled beautifully

Therefore.what?

I asked.Seki-san;

My, sadly.you’re resisting aren’t you?

Seki-san’s body approaches me!

.Shit .I’ll get killed! At the moment I thought of it!

.Haa!

A small figure jumps in between me and Seki-san.

.That’s far enough!

.Michi!

My.were you erasing your presence?

Seki-san’s mouth distorted from Michi’s appearance.

It’s different. It’s impossible for normal people to approach me without affecting me.you’re a somewhat interesting child!

The heart of Kuodu style ancient martial arts is to turn over enemy’s Qi and remove their concentration.

Seki-san has already grasped Kudou style already.

.Michi, stop

I said.

Don’t make any more move. She’ll see through it

Michi glares at Seki-san.

However.If I don’t confront her in full strength, I can’t take her down!

Michi’s frightened by the blood thirst Seki-san emits

You don’t have to

I said.

.Master?

Michi’s surprised.

That’s her move. She emits blood thirst and lets the opponent attack. Thus, she’ll be able to knock you down legitimately with self defense. If we attack, we lose

Seki-san’s surprised.

My.for a man like you to see through, I must be losing my edge

Seki-san’s blood thirst disappears.

Michi also fixed her posture.

Understood.I will report toKakka

Seki-san smiles.

The boy didn’t stop resisting by all means

In a moment.while her blood thirst is gone, Seki-san jumps towards me!

.I

.Don!

The whole stage shook.

what? Earthquake?

I can hear the surprised voices of the people in the theater.

Look, the stage light is shaking

But, it’s too short for an earthquake. Could it be that there’s an explosion outside?

No.that’s not it.

In front of me. There’s a special metal cane. The tip of the stick pokes the pillar of the stage side. She pierced it with a hole.

.You’re overdoing it, Fujimiya-san

Seki-san look at her colleague with a grumpy look.

Just to stop Seki-san from attacking me. Fujimiya-san seems to have used her stick to the fullest. .at Seki-san Then, Seki-san barely avoided it. The tip of the stick has pierced the pillar in the theater.

If the blunt force hits me, what are you planning to do?

Seki-san strongly protests to Fujimiya-san.

I’ll prepare a million roses at your funeral

Fujimiya-san said calmly.

Pulling the cane from the pillar.she prepares it with welcoming eyes once again.

Rather than that.you’re the one who’s overdoing it. Seki-san

Fujimiya-san enters a guard pose in between Seki-san and I.

Our duty as guards is to protect. Since when did you become an assassin?

Fujimya-san said.Seki-san;

It’s a bonus. That’s whatKakkawishes for after all.

Kakkawishes for me to be dead?

If not.he won’t order a woman like meif he resists, you can twist his neck

Fujimiya-san snorts.

If he resists.but this boy isn’t resisting at all, is he?

That’s a difference in opinion.I can only see this man to be resisting however.

Hey wait a moment!

I’m not resisting. Or rather, I don’t feel like resisting at all!

I said clearly.

Is what he says

Fujimiya-san said.Seki-san.

That’s all coming from his mouth.

Oh.this person.

She’ll forcibly attack me and if I try to shake even a bit.she intends to look at it as awill to resist That’s how she intends to kill me.

Rather than that.why is someone unrelated to you interfering with me?

Fujimiya-san.

My.you haven’t heard? I’m in charge of guarding Misuzu-sama and Ruriko-sama right now

That boy isn’t related. I wonder?

Fujimiya-san asks Misuzu.

Misuzu-sama.what about it?

Protect him. He’s Misuzu’s beloved ‘Danna-sama’. Please, protect him!

.Misuzu

If Seki-san kills this boy.Misuzu-sama’s heart would be hurt. It’s my pride as a guard to protect their hearts

Fujimiya-san points the tip of the cane at Seki-san.

You’re thickheaded as usual.even though you’re skilled, what a waste. If you were a bit more flexible, you could’ve been recommended asKakka’sexclusive guard

I have my own resolution. A snob like you won’t understand though.

The two takes distance from each other.

Shit, this is bad. I’m grateful that she’s helping me but. If Fujimiya-san and Seki-san tries to kill each other, we’re putting the priorities backwards. If this goes wrong, Minaho-neesan and others will be bothered.

.Fujimiya-san, please back down

I prepared for the worst.

What do you mean?

Fujimiya-san’s surprised.

I promise.I won’t resist

I head towards Seki-san determinedly.

.Danna-sama, that’s dangerous!

Misuzu shouts.

It’s fine.Seki-san’s the top of Kouzuki security service. A first class guard

I go in front of Fujimiya-san.

I won’t resist so.try me

Chapter 238

Are you seriously saying that?

Seki-san said sullenly.

No matter who it is, their body cowers once they feel fear.once you’re caught resisting, it’ll be Master’s ruin.

Michi said.

Believe me, Michi

I look at Seki-san.

I believe Seki-san after all!

Seki-san got startled.

.Believe me?

.I

If you kill me who’s not resisting in front of Misuzu, Ruriko-san and Fujimiya-san.won’t you become a shameless person then?

I slowly walk towards Seki-san.

Same pace.same speed.

Wait.don’t approach me

Seki-san said but I will not stop walking.

Why. I’m just surrendering to you. I’m not doing any martial arts.so you should know that I’m not someone dangerous

1、2、1、2..

I repeat one-two rhythm in my head. That’s all I think about. I don’t have to think everything else.

Don’t come.don’t come closer!

Like I said.I’m not resisting

Remember.

When you’re a child. When grandma just died. When neither father nor mother took care of me. My existence only dissatisfies them both. Therefore, I. I’m always erasing my presence in the house. I’m not here. I am nowhere. Nobody can see me. I am air. Thinking so.I hid from my parents’ gaze.that time. I’ll return to that time. I’m not here. I’m not a man who existed in this world from the beginning. 1、2、1、2.. I’m just counting the numbers 1, 2. I carve the same rhythm and head towards Seki-san.

.Don’t come!

Finally.I’m in a distance where Seki-san’s attack can reach.

.You!

Seki-san lets out a fist to me who’s approaching her without stop.

But.I know. Seki-san’s fist won’t hit me. I’m not here after all. I feel wind on my cheeks coming from Seki-san’s fist. But still.I move forward

.Hii!

I finally jumped into Seki-san’s bosom.

Seki-san feels fear and she screams. Now then.what to do? If this continues, Seki-san will take me down. But, brakes won’t work now that I’m here. .Okay

.Excuse me!

I just then.

Embraced Seki-san’s body with both my arms. I don’t know why someone surrendering to her should hug her but. .Anyway If I don’t do this, my energy moving forward can’t stop!

.!!!

Monyuu!

I bury my face into Seki-san’s rich breasts. Un.soft

.you!

Seki-san’s mature body stiffens in my arms.

what are you doing?

.Err?

I didn’t resist Seki-san.so I tried surrendering but.

Seki-san’s trembling with her face blushing.

L-Let me go!

Does Seki-san understand that I have no intention to resist her?

.Seki-san

i get it.I already get it so let go!

Seki-san said.I let go of her.

.Sure

Seki-san glares at me.

You.hugged my body.

Seki-san’s right arm extends to my neck like a phyton!

.But Seki-san didn’t grab my throat but. A thick metal cane.

I think you should stop there.Seki-san

The beauty in British gentleman dress.informs her senior guard.

If you hurt him here.KouzukiKakka’sexcellent guard named Seki Show will cry

The beat to death swordswoman, Fujimiya-san smiles.

.I get it

Seki-san lowers her hand.

It’s my defeat this time

Great, that helps.

Turning back, Misuzu and others seem to be relieved as well.

But.what’s going on. He’s able to penetrate in between my attack smoothly

Seki-san seems to be unconvinced by what just happened.

I think it is as this boy said.

Fujimiya-san look at me.

.As he said?

Yes. This boy had no intention to resist Seki-san at all. And, he believed that Seki-san won’t attack a helpless man.

Seki-san looks at me too.

.Why can you trust me who’s an enemy?

.Err

In the first place.Seki-san’s not the enemy

How should I explain this?

Seki-san.you only thought that this boy is a vulgar man who has tricked Misuzu-sama?

Fujimiya-san spoke in my place.

But.it seems to be different.

.Different? Misuzu-sama is also a talented woman who has receivedKakka’seducation on a daily basis. She won’t be fooled by just a delinquent boy

Misuzu comes forward as Fujimiya-san speaks.

Yes. Seki-san.I thank your loyalty to grandfather but, I’ll have you fired if you go too far!

Ah.this is.

Minaho-neesan’s behavior. I can tell. Misuzu has changed a lot after meeting various people fromKuromori She’s gotten stronger.

Misuzu-sama!

Seki-san kneels on the spot due to Misuzu’s majesty.

Grandfather only set you up to see how Fujimiya-san and I would respond. He purposely made you fight because it’s interesting. He actually didn’t order to take away Danna-sama’s life here

.Yes

Seki-san’s getting smaller.

That’s enough already.it’s absurd to have conflict among ourselves while heinous criminals from US are coming to Japan

Ruriko-san.

Onee-sama.is that true?

Yes. A criminal named Cesario Viola and his party is approaching our surroundings. Today’s guards were alert because of that. Well.indeed, I think that the security for this year’s symposium is much more heavy compared to the usual.

Yoshiko-san’s surprised.

.Seki-san, return to your original work

Misuzu orders the senior guard

Seki-san.

I am ordered to bring Misuzu-sama and that boy beforKakka

Then, let’s go right away. Let’s have this end soon.

We should better prepare for Viola’s attack.

When I say that.

Grandfather is going to leave the theater right away, isn’t he?

Misuzu asks Seki-san.

Yes. He should be reaching the other exit soon

I see.When it comes to VIP likeKakka

He even came in barely before it started. He’s also leaving the theater through a special route.

Misuzu-sama’s asked to meet up in the Imperial hotel

Seki-san said.

Right.we’ve got to negotiate with Shirasaka family at the Imperial hotel after this. Then.Cesario Viola would be raiding.

I’m still dressed like this. It’ll take a while before I leave the theater

Misuzu’s still on her stage costume.

She’s still wearing make-up.

I understand.I will stand as a guard

Seki-san said but.

Wait. I am Misuzu-sama’s guard

Fujimiya-san said in dissatisfaction

Why don’t you just guard Ruriko-sama?

Chief Tanizawa asked me to protect both Misuzu-sama and Ruriko-sama Then, I’ll change the order.I’ll protect Misuzu-sama You’ll be guarding Ruriko-sama Sorry but.Seki-san’s not my boss My.Fujimiya-san, you’re not going to listen to your senior’s order? .I won’t

Fujimiya-san holds the steel cane with warm eyes.

Seki-san sets up her fist.

Stop this already!

.Ruriko-san’s.angry?

Both of you.did you not hear what Onee-sama said?

Ruriko-san who’s usually docile and composed gives her honest opinion.the two elite guards fixed their stance.

.I’m very sorry

We were being foolish

Seki-san and Fujimiya-san bow their heads to Ruriko-san.

I will meet up with grandfather along with Misuzu-oneesama. Therefore, Seki-san and Fujimiya-san will be guarding Onee-sama and me.

.Certainly .By your will

Misuzu speaks to Ruriko-san.

Ruriko-san.it’s dangerous to meet with grandfather in the Imperial hotel. It’s predicted that the foreign bad guys will raid there

There’s no way a place where Misuzu-oneesama and grandfather stays in can be dangerous!

Ruriko-san said clearly.

I also have to talk to grandfather

Ruriko-san?

The bad rumors inside Kouzuki house.I’d like to shake off the lie about Misuzu-oneesama and me being hostile using grandfather’s power. I adore Onee-sama.Onee-sama’s kind to me. We’re cousins, we get along well!

.Ruriko-san

Misuzu admires the speech.

It’s meaningless for people inside Kouzuki house to fight. I think that it shouldn’t exist!

Ruriko-san said but.

Kakka’sthe ringleader who scattered the spark of conflict in Kouzuki house. Seki-san and Fujimiya-san was fighting earlier becauseKakkapurposely ordered them so they will fight. Seriously.what a troublesome man

Understood.anyway, let’s hurry back to the dressing room and change clothes

Misuzu replied.

.Michi, why did you come here?

I ask Michi while we walk in the hallway.

Kuromori-sama has sent me to protect Master

Minaho-neesan’s worried about me so she sent Michi?

I see.just like Seki-san earlier. Since I went up the stage as Misuzu’s lover.she thought of the possibility of me being assassinated byKakka’ssubordinate. Really.Minaho-neesan’s clever

.You should call them

Misuzu whispered to me

Danna-sama.you’re worried about them?

yeah.

Margo-san’s there to guard them.

Katsuko-nee’s eyes are sharp too. Of course, Minaho-neesan won’t misunderstand the situation. I can leave Megu and Mana to them in peace .But Yukino. Minaho-neesan hates Yukino completely. I don’t think she’ll be abandoned in the theater. But still, I’m worried.

.It’ll be fine

Misuzu guessed what I’m thikning.

Mana-san and Yukino-san are important last resorts until the negotiation with the Shirasaka family is over

But.Shirasaka Moritsugu has abandoned those two. They’re under Cesario Viola’s hit list Yes, therefore.they’re an important card

Misuzu answers.

The head of the Shirasaka house tries to kill the minor daughters to protect the honor of the house. If such facts were made public, it’ll be the end of Shirasaka house

For nwo it’s just a matter of trying to hush up the matter about the criminal, Shirasaka Sousuke using the power of their house.

Though it’s a big scandal.it’s not a big problem related to the root of Shirasaka house. But.if the head of Shirasaka house made a deal with a foreign murder organization. Furthermore, even trying to kill Yukino and Mana who’s a member of their clan just to seal their mouths. It’ll exceed the level of a scandal. The authority of the house itself will breakdown.

Therefore.they should be bringing Yukino-san as well

Misuzu’s consideration is right.

But.

If you’re worried then call them while we’re taking a shower

Un.that would be better.

.We have returned to Misuzu’s dressing room Today’s performers.Misuzu, Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san are heading to the shower immediately.

Seki-san, please come with us in the shower room. Fujimiya-san and Michi, please stay in the dressing room and protect Danna-sama

Misuzu said.

Just like Seki-san earlier.there will be someone who intend to take Danna-sama’s life thinking that it’ll be a helpful move to Grandfather

Misuzu speaks sarcastically against Seki-san, but.

That possibility is certainly there. Thinking that I’m a bad guy who fools Misuzu.there might be other people who will try to assassinate me. There are a lot of people who will do anything to gainKakka’sfavor Besides.guards from famous families are in here. Even if they’re guards.there are some who are good at killing instead of protecting. They should have enough talent to be an assassin.

I don’t mind protecting this one though?

Seki-san looks at me with suspicious eyes.

I have promised that I will take you toKakka, I won’t make any moves on him

Her fascinating eyes.smile.

Besides.I have found this one to be interesting.

Misuzu.

That one is my ‘Danna-sama’ I won’t allow any impoliteness

I won’t do anything as such

Seki-san said but.

No.as Misuzu-sama orders, I will stay in the dressing room. Seki-san, you can guard the two

Fujimiya-san tells Seki-san.

What?are you intending to order me?

.Seriously.

Why does these two in bad terms? Knowing their bad chemistry,Kakkadispatched Seki-san.

I don’t have that intention.however, I think that it’s better to use my notoriety in order for other guards not to come in this room

Fujimiya-san’s notoriety.

.The beat to death swordsman.

You’re right.that suits you better

Yes. Seki-san is the only one with a good reputation from the outside. What do yo mean by that? I’m only saying that your surface is very good!

The bewitching beauty and a crossdressing beauty.

The atmosphere between them becomes tense again.

Now, let’s go to the shower. Seki-san!

Ruriko-san said strongly.

Yes, let’s go.Seki-san

Yoshiko-san calmly enters in between them

.Fujimiya-san, remember this

Well.we’ll have to settle this someday

Their faces are smiling but their eyes are scary.

Then, Danna-sama.we’ll be going

To change the atmosphere of the place.

Misuzu leans close to me.

I’ll be back soon so please wait for me

Saying that.she gave me a kiss.

gosh!

Seki-san’s surprised.

Ooh!

Fujimiya-san’s in wonder.

.misuzu-oneesama!

Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san are speechless.

.It’s the usual

Michi said calmly.

Usual?

Seki-san asks Michi.

Yes.the two of them are a couple that love each other after all

Ruriko-san’s ears are red.

.I’ve read about lovers kissing however.it seems to be true. Yoshiko?

Yes.it’s my first time seeing it as well

The two who were not given any sexual knowledge are stunned.

.Danna-samaan

Misuzu sticks out her tongue.

I suck up that tongue. Our tongues entwine.

.yoshiko, what are they doing?

i wonder.I don’t know

Misuzu releases her lips way from my mouth.

I’ll be serving you a lot later okay?

Yeah.I’m looking forward to it

Misuzu speaks the women who are puzzled except for Michi.

Thanks for the wait! Let us go!

Misuzu heads to the shower room.

Then, I will be guarding outside the door.

Fujimiya-san said.

No, there’s no need. I feel bad to make you stand in the hallway. Please stay here

I said, but.

If I don’t show myself in the hallway.the demonstrative effect that I’m guarding you is none

True.if she stays inside the dressing room, the people won’t know that Fujimiya-san’s here

Well that’s true but.

.Besides

.What?

Won’t Kuromori-sama be calling someone?

Ah, she’s listening to our conversation a while ago?

I do not have a habit of eavesdropping so I will take my leave

i see.

.Sorry. Thank yo for the consideration

Fujimiya-san stares at me.

You really are peculiar.Kuromori-san

.What?

From what I see.it’s as if you’re not someone from the underworld

.Underworld?

I do know what kind of houseKuromoriis

Right.this person is an elite of the Kouzuki Security service.

There’s no way she’s unaware ofKuromori

However.I don’t remember Kuromori having men with your age.

.Yeah

The Kouzuki security service’sKuormorifile. It doesn’t have me existing on it.

Well, that’s fine. Whoever you are.I’ll only protect you according to Misuzu-sama’s orders

Fujimiya-san laughs.

Besides.Thanks to you, I had the privilege of feeling refreshed multiple times today

Me?

First.you stood up and applauded for Ruriko-sama’s sake. Second, you went and bring flowers for Misuzu-sama. Third, you also gave Ruriko-sama flowers.and lastly

un?

You made Seki-san panic.plunged into her unarmed, and even embraced her.To be honest.I was bursting in laughter inside my mind!

.Really.

Fujimiya-san have a bad relationship with Seki-san.

Chapter 239

Then, I will take my leave.

Saying that.Fujimiya-san stands up.

It’s only me and Michi in the dressing room now Misuzu left Michi hear means. Even Fujimiya-san knows that the enemy won’t come here. For example.if chief Tanizawa comes by the order of KouzukiKakka Then ordered Fujimiya-san to get rid of me. For her, Kakka’sorder is on higher priority than Misuzu. Then.the possibility of me getting killed is high. Therefore.Misuzu left Michi here in case of emergency. Misuzu and Ruriko-san should be guarded by Seki-san perfectly.

.Master?

Michi looks at me anxiously.

.Haa I’m a bit tired. It’s only been thirty minutes but it’s all mentally hard.

Michi, come here

.Yes? Be my dakimakura

Michi’s surprised.

Yes.certainly!

Michi steps forward toddling then brings her small body to me.

I sat on the chair of the dressing room and hugged Michi’s standing body.

Don’t be so nervous.relax

.yes

Michi’s body softens.

I rub my cheeks on her flat chest. I put my hands behind Michi and rub her small butt.

Haa.that was scary

I leak out those words along with a sigh.

Right.Seki-sama is a fearful one.

Michi pats my head.

Master did well

.Yeah

I feel my heart calming down in Michi’s arms.

I have to switch my mind or else. I can’t keep going on.

.I’m very sorry

Michi said.

About what?

My body lacks in feminine charm.master cannot feel relieved.are you dissatisfied? .That’s not true

I answered immediately.

If Michi’s not here right now.I’d go crazy you know

.Why? Michi’s always so humble. If it’s not necessary, you only stay on the side silently. What a gentle girl. That’s not true.

Michi said bashfully.

Imagine it.if it was Mana that’s with me here. I’ll have to keep desperately talking in order to release her anxiety

Un.I need to move as Mana’s guardian with all my strength.

There’s no time to rest my mind.

If it was Megu.she’d try to be a bit more modest, but. Megu’s mentally weak. She might’ve fainted during my confrontation with Seki-san earlier

I’d like Megu to have a bit more nerve.

She doesn’t need to have ad much nerve as Yukino.

Much worse.if I was here alone with Yukino!

.What will happen?

Michi looks down at me from above.

I don’t want that. Taking care of her hysteria in here!

Michi’s face loosens from my smile.

Was I useful to master?

Un.It’s reassuring that Michi’s here .I’m glad

Michi said.

This ass feels nice!

I enjoy the feeling of Michi’s ass.

Is that true?

Yeah, it’s trained well.it’s tender like raw rubber. It feels better than anyone’s ass I’ve touched until now

I praise Michi’s ass.

.My everything is master’s

Michi answers with a blushing face.

Her body that she had complex on is being praised.she’s excited. Michi’s M heart is on fire. .This is bad.

Un.I’ll give you love once we have time

I have to hold back now.I told michi

Yes.Michi can give her chastity whenever you want

Michi said with her breathing turned rough.

We’re going to show it to Misuzu

.Yes

Oh.what a cute creature Michi is

Michi.kiss me

.EH? Kiss me by yourself

Michi.

Excuse me then.

Her nervous lips comes close to me.

.Nn

Our lips overlap.

.Un, well done. Good girl

I pat the head of the embarrassed Michi.

.Master

Michi’s ears are red.

Sit on my lap

.Yes? I’ll massage your breasts while calling Minaho-neesan

Mich sits on my lap.

Flip your skirt.then place your raw ass against my knee

.Yes

Michi’s soft legs and ass can be felt in my legs.

I then embraced Michi from behind with my right hand. I touch Michi’s breasts.

.Ahn

What the.I thought that she’s a wash board but.

I can tell that there’s a small thin layer of fat under her skin. There’s a foundation for her breast done here. Un.I’m sure that they’ll grow when you rub this. I grope and grind Michi’s chest.

Please don’t be too rough

But it won’t be stimulating if I just touch it lightly you know?

I massage Michi’s chest on top of her uniform.

.Ah, it’s embarrassing

You like being embarrassed right? .Yes

Our figures are reflected in the dressing room mirror.

Look at yourself in the mirror

aah.it’s embarrassing

Michi who’s a masochist.trembles.

You love being embarrassed, right?

Yes.I love it.I love it a lot.Masteer!

Really.Michi’s a good girl.

She’s able to make my heart completely relax.

Try to stay quiet as I’ll call Minaho-neesan

.Yes Don’t let out your voice.hold it back .Certainly

While groping Michi’s chest with my right hand.

I take out my phone with my left hand. There’s two bars on the antenna. Well, it’ll do somehow I pressed call on Minaho-neesan’s name.

Hello.Yoshida-kun?

Minaho-neesan immediately answers.

Un. I’m safe somehow. I’m with Misuzu and Ruriko-san. Michi’s here too

I reported briefly.

.What’s the situation?

KouzukiKakkaordered.I’ll be heading to the Imperial hotel along with Misuzu. The guard will be chief Tanizawa’s subordinates Seki-san and Fujimiya-san The two elites of Kouzuki security service?

Minaho-neesan’s surprised.

The combination of the renowned guard ofKakka-Seki-san and the beat to death swordswoman- Fujimiya-san.is exceptional as expected.

Then.Ruriko-san’s also coming together. Ruriko-san had something to talk about withKakkashe said

.Is that so? Well, I don’t think there’s a need for worry if you’re with the two top elite guards Then.Where’s Minaho-neesan and others right now? We’re at the parking lot. We’re leaving now.we’ll also be filing with Kouzuki-sama’s convoy .Convoy? Kouzuki-sama’s forming a line of a dozen cars.we’re departing with the guidance of the patrol car, so we’ll be sticking with that

If they’re going to move along withKakka.they’ll have enough guards.

That would be safe.

In exchange.one of our cars will be left in the theater

.Car?

Though we went in with three cars.if you and Michi and Misuzu-san will be heading to the hotel, then we’ll only need two. Director Yamaoka from Kouzuki security service told us to reduce the number of cars if we want to join in

Kakka’stravel.is managed by Director Yamaoka.

That’s why.I’m driving the Benz, and Margo’s on the passenger seat. Nei, Mana and Megu’s on the back

Normally.Minaho-neesan is Viola’s target from Shirasaka Moritsugu’s request so she should seat on the back.

But.it’s better for Margo-san to move freely just in case something happens. Therefore, Minaho-neesan’s on the driver’s seat and Margo-san’s on the passenger seat. .Ah, speaking of which.

Uhm.Minaho-neesan

I know, it’s about Yukino-san, right?

.What happened to Yukino?

She’ll be on the Maserati along with Katsuko. It’s fine. I won’t throw her away while you’re not watching

Haa.with Katsuko-nee?

Well.it’s much more peaceful than being with Megu or Mana.

I feel sorry to Katsuko but.it’s hard to deal with that hysteric girl

My my.that’s the same thing I said.

Yukino’s bad with Katsuko-nee so I think that combination is the correct answer.

I answered.

Anyway.don’t worry here. Once we head outside the theater, Kudou-san’s team will follow

Kudou-papa’s backup unit will also start moving to guardKakka

Well.I can’t imagine Viola attacking such a firm guard system. This is Japan. Viola doesn’t have sense of locality in Tokyo Kakka’sconvoy will only go through the main street. It’ll be difficult to attack from anywhere.

Let’s meet up at the hotel.okay?

Got it.Minaho-neesan

Ah.Mana-san and others also want to talk to you

The person on the other side changes

Onii-chan.you okay?

Yeah, I’m fine. I’m with Misuzu and Ruriko-san, we have the two strongest guards of Kouzuki security service I’m glad.we’re going to the hotel first then I’ll follow right away Un. I’ll give the phone to Megu-oneechan

I hear Megu’s voice

.Yoshi-kun

Don’t make such a worried face. I’m fine here. I’ll follow up right away Un.I’ll wait

.Then

Hello, Yo-chaan?

Yes, I’m fine.Nei-san Ehehe.that’s great. I was worried I’ll meet you up in the hotel right away. Wait for me. Hurry up and come! Get it? Yes.I get it

.Then

.Hello, Yoshida-kun

.Margo-san too

Yes, I’m here

I don’t intend to threaten you but perhaps the enemies may aim at you guys more than us

.Margo-san?

We have secured Shirasaka Sousuke, Yukino-san and Mana-san but the enemies might aim for Misuzu-san or Ruriko-san as well

.Right

The two granddaughters are perfect as negotiation card withKakka

But, we’ll be fine. We have Fujimiya-san and Seki-san.Michi’s here as well

I said to reassure Margo-san.

Margo-san knows the power of the elites of Kouzuki security service.

I don’t doubt their ability but if there’s three people trying to escort you and Misuzu.then at least two of them can freely fight while there’s only one sticking with you. I think that’s slightly severe when it comes to war potential

As a pro guard.Margo-san made a conclusion.

Me, Misuzu, Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san.there’s two people needed to defend the four of us. The only one remaining fights the enemy.that might be tough.

We’ll contact Kudou-san.we’ll have him send someone around

.At Kudou-san’s? Yeah, Kudou-san have people specialized in combat only. We’ll have those people surround you

We’ve got enough guards here.

What we currently need is a combat only staff.

Ah, don’t tell Seki about this.those people are elite. I think they hate Kudou-san’s team coming to help

Un.Kudou-papa’s behind the scenes team.

I think that it’s incompatible with Seki-san and Fujimiya-san’s elegance.

Got it

.Anyway, be careful .Yes, Margo-san. I’ll leave Minaho-neesan and others to you Leave this to.later then

.Then, the call ends

I want to hear Katsuko-nee’s voice. .Yukino too. I think that she’ll only scream or complain.

.Masteer

Michi whispers with a bright red face.

.Hm, what’s wrong Michi?

Michi.

I’ve gotten wet.

Putting back my phone on my pocket.I use my left hand to reach out inside Michi’s skirt.

Michi’s panty is wet.

Michi.you’re easy to get wet when aroused

.I’m very sorry

I talk to Michi through the mirror of the dressing room.

Michi on top of my legs. She’s opening her legs widely right now and het wet crotch is clearly seen in the mirror.

I might be lewd. Do you hate the lewd Michi?

Michi looks at the mirror with moist eyes.

.I like it. It’s my Michi after all. You’re cute, Michi

I lick the back of Michi’s ear from behind

.Hyaan !

Michi trembles on top of my legs.

Her panty’s overflowing with love nectar again

.Let’s kiss, Michi

Yes

Michi turned her face to me.

I fixed my post a bit so it can be seen in the mirror properly.then I kiss Michi’s lips. Our tongues twine. Michi’s aroused as she look at her own foolishness in the mirror.

.Master, I

Michi speaks.

More.I want to be treated like an object y Master. I want to be Master’s possession

It’s Misuzu and mine, right? Yes.I want to be the toy of the two of you. I want to be played like a toy!

Michi passionately seeks my tongue.

.I

.You already are. Michi is Misuzu and my toy

.aahn. I’m happy But.hold back for a bit more. We’ll do it when Misuzu’s with us .Yes

The playtime while Misuzu’s gone is only limited until here.

It’s about time they come back from the shower.

Let’s kiss once again.then we’ll leave it as that

Michi.

Uhm.I don’t mind

.Eh? I can lick Master’s thing and drink it

.Michi

I caress Michi’s cheeks gently. Michi’s 15 year old skin is slippery.

We can postpone that for now. I want to stay strained until we reach the Hotel. I’ll relax if I ejaculate here

.Yes I’m glad that Michi says that.actually, I want to do Michi. But, we’ve got a situation.so understand

.Michi

Yes.Master

Saying that.she rubs her cheeks on me.

The shower group came back after a few minutes.

They haven’t seen Michi and my play. Ruriko-san Yoshiko-san, Misuzu, and Seki-san comes to the dressing room. Fujimiya-san still stands outside the corridor.

Danna-sama, I’m back.Michi, have you taken care of Danna-sama?

Misuzu asks Michi.

Michi.

Yes.Rather than me taking care of him.Master has taken care of me

Well.that’s another point increased on punishing Michi. Yes.please punish me. Misuzu-sama! .Be prepared for tonight. I’ll have you confess how were you taken care off .Yes, Misuzu-sama

Oh.these two masochists.
