Bishi!
Reika’s hand hits Seki-san’s cheek.
Are you even trying?
Bishi!
Seki-san slaps Reika
Go, your turn
Reika
Please stop, spare me already!
She falls, crying.
In the end, chief Tanizawa didn’t come. He respects you as a Kendo specialist from scouting you as the queen of high school Kendo
Seki-san said.
Therefore, Fujimiya-san became a professional guard without having a person to protect
Seki-san pats Reika’s crying head.
Nobody taught you the resolve to be a guard, you were accepted from just your strength with your sword. That’s a big mistake
Seki-san.
People are beaten up by adults, lose, feeling humiliation and defeat, they have to memorize their work one by one
Seki-san’s words soak in Reika’s heart.
You’re weak. Even with your stick, the strength to wield it, and even with your Kendo skills, Fujimiya-san’s weak. You had never wanted to protect a person from the bottom of your heart
Reika’s taken aback.
It’s the feeling of wanting to protect someone even making yourself their shield. You can’t be a guard if you don’t have the apparent enthusiasm despite it being a job, a profession i Well, Fujimiya-san’s been alone since she lost her grandfather. You think that nothing matters in your life because you are alone that’s why you became a guard as desperation, am I wrong? But you see, you can’t protect anyone with that way of thinking. Even yourself Seki-san Then, how about now? You have your family. Who’s your family?
Reika.
Agnes-chan, Mao-chan, Mana-chan, and everyone
Oh, inside Reika’s heart.
She feels close to the young girls. Her priority on Ruriko and me is low. Oh well, without everyone, you can’t protect the family. Take a look. Agnes-chan is clinging to him firmly. He’s hugging Agnes-chan tightly too. Agnes-chan needs him
Seki-san said, reinforcing the significance of our existence.
Would Agnes-chan hug Fujimiya-san that way? Would she come close to you wanting to be protected?
Reika;
No, I don’t think she won’t come close I see, are you okay with that, do you want it to stay like that? Huh? Don’t you wish for Agnes-chan to depend on you? That’s Speak honestly! Fujimiya Reika!
Seki-san slaps Reika once again.
I want her to rely on me! I want her to depend on me! Do you want to protect Agnes? I do!
Seki-san smiles.
Then grow up. Be strong. Swear to never lose for that girl’s sake Seki-san?
Seki-san hugs Reika’s head gently.
I also went to an all girl’s school like you so I can understand Fujimiya-san
?!!!
You were sought by your peers to be the prince, as the sense of responsibility is deeply rooted in you that you did your best to respond to them. That’s why you became the prince in just form
Incidentally, Fujimiya Reika became a beato-death swordswoman, dressed up in male clothes.
But, you, the prince had no vassal. A prince just for the looks feels very empty all the time. That’s why it turned to this seki-san Besides, chief Tanizawa scouted you while still looking like the prince, and became a guard like that.
Reika’s solitude never cleared up.
It’s okay now. You have a family. It’s okay, you can worry about Agnes-chan and the small girls. You can concentrate on protecting those children. In exchange, you must defend them to death
Seki-san said.
I will worry about your concerns. Therefore, you can open up your heart to us
Seki-san, are you trying to become Reika’s guardian?
Didn’t I tell you? You were a prince in the all girl’s school but, be at ease. I’ve always wanted to be an Onee-sama
Onee-sama?
I have a long experience as an elder sister
She hugs Reika gently.
I’ll be your Onee-sama
Chapter 449
Chapter 449. Unwind the thread
Seki-san holds Reika who’s hanging her head and come back to the room.
Edie also comes worried. Now then, is this okay?
Seki-san looks at us with a smile.
The people in the room, Ruriko and Agnes too look up at Seki-san. Yukino’s the only one who turned the other way, uninterested. I’ve heard how you approached Fujimiya-san until now from Margo-san
I knew it, Margo-san’s been watching us in the basement.
Going back to Fujimiya-san’s past, you know that her outward look of the prince was just a result of her too-honest-person response to the people’s wish on her. It’s a fruit of labors. This person’s true nature is still a mentally weak girl
Seki-san kept track of everything. She summarized Reika’s situation.
Therefore, I can understand why you treat her as a little girl and call her Rei-chan. That is to repair the defective part in her mind but;
Seki-san sighs
It’s impossible for you to make that approach
Huh?
Fujimiya-san is already an adult. Even her body’s very much an ordinary adult woman, isn’t it? This person’s been looking at you from above. It’s inevitable. She’s tall after all
Yeah.
The approach you’ve chosen is to be older than Fujimiya-san, let’s see, a father figure man would be an adequate backup on her for the first time
Older, father-figure, reliable.
Of course, it’s correct to put her mental age close to Agnesan and Mana-san. But, if there’s nobody close she thinks she can protect, it’ll be one-sided. Therefore, it only went well halfway, Fujimiya-san’s in a much more stable condition.
Oh, we were wrong.
I don’t look reliable as I’m younger, Don’t make that face, everyone knows that you did your best, Fujimiya-san is also eagerly thinking what she should do and what she can do. Fujimiya-san herself feels it that way the most, am I right?
Seki-san looks at Reika.
Reika; Yes, I feel apologetic for everyone to be so concerned about me Even though I’m much older than anyone
Oh, Reika’s concerned about it.
Even though she’s the oldest one in the basement, we’re the ones taking care of her. Therefore, Margo-san instructed to wake Fujimiya-san’s core with today’s events
Seki-san said.
Margo-san was worried about our situation in the basement, so she planned this operation? It won’t start unless Fujimiya-san acts in front. This person is very depressed that she lost the strength to move on her own
Oh, I see. So that’s why.
Reika first smashed the door to the room that confines Yukino. Did she prepare a scenario where she has to kidnap us? This person feels very sorry that she’s approached with all your best, that she received everything too honestly, well, it’s genuinely rooted in her. As a result, Fujimiya-san’s thoughts were saturated that she can’t do anything for herself
That’s why she was made to do such flashy actions.
Smashing the door to the reception room, make a mess out of it that caused you flare up, didn’t it, Fujimiya-san?
Seki-san smiles at Reika.
It’s a disgrace Going that far is okay but; as soon as you drove off the car, you only asked for his decisions and didn’t decide anything by yourself, right? That’s just bad. As expected, your ability to think and act by yourself has fallen
Huh?
Uhm, our white van shouldn’t be wiretapped though?
That’s what I heard.
I don’t know the details, but Margo-san put in a wiretap different from the system she usually uses
Oh, Margo-san went to the garage after breakfast saying that she’ll explain about the car equipment to Reika.
I guess it’s at that time. The other system is not to let Minaho-neesan listen to our conversation inside the car. Margo-san forwards the audio to me
In short, Margo-san and Seki-san were the only ones listening to us all this time
Naturally, there’s also a transmitter attached. That’s why Seki-san knows the location of our car. Then, uhm, what should we do with Rei-chan, no Fujimiya-san?
