I see.
I asked Shou-oneesan to book two rooms. It’s natural for Kouzuki house to reserve one each for Misuzu-san and Ruriko-san
Minaho-neesan said.
Although, I had the rooms connected inside. Therefore, once you enter the room, you can go back and forth between both rooms
That’s helpful.
After all, everyone’s going. It’s troublesome if the room isn’t big. We need an alibi
Katsuko-nee looks at Minaho-neesan.
We have to prove that we’re not involved with Kyouko-san’s action in the Green Mountain Studio Yes, that is why Kyouko-san purposely goes around as the enemy of Kouzuki security service
Could this mean?
When she’s done with her action tonight, she’ll leave to America with Miss Cordelia. There’s a man in Los Angeles they need to kill
Oh, It’s the man who gave Miss Cordelia false information so she’d antagonize Kyouko-san.
They’d stay outside the country until things cool down. It seems that she has various plans with Miss Cordelia
Minaho-neesan said.
If they know that Kyouko-san left Japan, the police outside the mansion can relax
I see now.
Therefore, Kuromori won’t be participating the action tonight. We won’t show in the party, but we’ll be in Misuzu-san’s waiting room in the hotel Our positions will be some escort and attendants, clerk or make-up staff
Katsuko-nee smiles.
I called Nagisa too. She’ll come with Mao-chan
Yeah, Nagisa is doing business, so it’s better if she has an alibi.
Therefore, could you bring Megumi?
Minaho-neesan tells me.
Megumi’s supposed to leave the practice early. Katsuko called earlier. We called Megumi and captain Takeshiba to the school staff, and they gave their consent directly
Oh, they called as Megu’s relative?
The members of the track and field club knows that Shirasaka Sousuke died suddenly, so it’s’ okay
Everyone knows that Megu is a distant relative of Shirasaka house.
Because of Shirasaka Sousuke’s sudden death, it won’t be strange if she leaves early.
Actually, since this is the end of the holiday, the girls planned to go for karaoke together, but Minaho-neesan, isn’t that good enough for Megu’s alibi?
If captain Takeshiba testify that they were with Megu then;
Geez, think of Megumi’s feelings
Minaho-neesan scolds me.
She can’t enjoy karaoke because she’s worried about you
Oh.
She’s convinced that you’ll go with Misuzu-san and Ruriko-san as their escort. As a member of the family, she’d like you to do it while she’s watching
Megu’s like that.
Yes, we’d like to do it fair-and-square. I’d like Megumi-san to watch
Misuzu said, Ruriko nods.
That’s how it is, so go pick up Megumi from school. Then, join up with Nagisa and come to the hotel
Oh, Nagisa, Margo-san, Nei, and Mao-chan’s coming to pick us up.
They’ll pick us up and go to the hotel.
We’ll head to the hotel directly from here
Wait.
So what about Edie and Agnes?
The two of them are secret existences.
Agnes has no family register because she was confined in the basement.
Edie’s brought by Miss Cordelia here with a fake passport.
Furthermore, she didn’t bring the passport she used back then.
Ojou-sama, should I stay in the mansion?
Katsuko-nee asks.
No, you’re a central member of Kuromori. If you don’t show up, they’d think that you’re supporting Kyouko-san
Minaho-neesan replied.
But we can’t leave Edie and Agnes in the mansion alone
Especially, Agnes, I don’t want her to be confined again.
What about Morimoto-san?
I mention the old man Morimoto’s name who was the clerk of Kuromori, and he lived near the mansion.
Morimoto-san and his wife went to see Kabuki. I bought them tickets to have an alibi. We’ve been giving him unreasonable requests lately
Morimoto-san’s absent too.
I’ll stay
Mana said.
I’ll stay with the two and watch over the house
I.
Minaho-neesan, let’s bring everyone
I made up my mind.
I’m sure that Minaho-neesan’s right about Megu, we can’t leave them. Mana, Edie, and Agnes would like to come and see too. Let’s be fair and square with all
I smile at the three.
That’s right, Ojou-sama. Think about it carefully, the police already knows these children
Katsuko-nee?
Just the other day, Agnes went to Ikeda-sensei’s office and ate parfait at the family restaurant after. They were surely watching that
Oh, at that time, Edie and Mana were with her too.
The police must be tilting their head asking who was that? but, as long as there is a connection to the Kouzuki house, they can’t forcibly investigate
i see.
Yeah, in that case then let’s take the two of them too!
I said.
Or should I say, thinking about it once again
Katsuko-nee looks at me.
You’re the most unknown to the police, I think! Huh? Who you are and why you’re with us
Oh right!
I.
I’m the only man among this group of women.
To the police, you are the biggest mystery, I think
Chapter 536
Chapter 536．PAINT WHITE
The police don’t know any information about me?
I suppose that they’ve checked that you’re Megumi and Yukino-san’s classmate
Minaho-neesan said.
They should have investigated Shirasaka Sousuke’s life in detail.
I don’t know if they discover that Megu’s Shirasaka Sousuke’s illegitimate child but, they’d see that she was an adopted daughter of Yamamine house which is a distant relative of Shirasaka house.
And that I’m a classmate of the two.
The news about your engagement with Megu was spread throughout the school. There’s a lot of children at our school who do blog and have a twitter account. But even though it’s circulated that Megumi’s a member of the women’s athletics club, nobody knows you that well
Well of course.
I was mentally depressed ever since I entered school this April that I hardly talked to my classmates.
In middle school, I lived in a dorm in the mountains, there’s not a single student who knows of my past.
They don’t seem to find any particular information about you. They shouldn’t know why you are moving with us at all
I see.
They’d think of the possibility that I’m an agent of Kuromori from the start and enrolled on the same high school to kidnap Yukino.
Should we put pressure on the police with our house’s power?
Misuzu asks.
If I ask Grandfather then Yazawa-san would talk to them
Minaho-neesan
Let’s use that as our last resort. People in public safety have a strong rebellious spirit so you mustn’t pressure them rashly. It’ll just get them worked up
They’ll intensify their investigation on me on the contrary?
Even if you put pressure on them, the higher ups won’t be suppressing them but instead be loose on their restraints
Minaho-neesan looks at Rei-chan.
That’s how it is, so Reika-san, could you send him to the school? Me?
Rei-chan’s surprised.
Yes, go on by foot and come back on foot
Minaho-neesan smiles.
By foot? Walking?
It won’t take ten minutes to from here to the school’s back gate. Reika-san, send him to the school and come back right away. The weather’s nice today. I think that taking a walk is the best distraction But Oh, of course, wear your Kouzuki security service uniform. Reika-san needs to get used to it, right? If you go with him, then the watchmen from Kouzuki security service outside won’t come with him. Entrust the negotiation with the police to them
Rei-chan.
If it’s an order then
She agrees reluctantly
Ah, wait, I’ll go change to my uniform if I’m going to school
