I didn’t manage to settle things with my power.

I think that I need a bit more power at least

Margo-san.

The people in the world only evaluate influential people, but we’re family. We assess your growth over the past few days instead of your current strength

Huh?

You have definitely grown. It’s okay. Have some confidence That’s right. You were so timid when we first met, you can’t even speak appropriately to me

Nei laughed.

I see. That’s true.

Even if I’m like this, I’m progressing gradually.

Growth needs to be done gradually, you don’t need to hurry. You’re still young That’s right, we’re expecting on your future!

Nagisa smiles at me through the rear mirror.

Slowly but surely. Think of the long-term

I mutter. Nagisa;

What’s that? Yeah, Misuzu said that. It’s about time I should think of the future from a long-term perspective That’s true. As expected of Misuzu, she thinks realistically and straightforward

Nagisa said.

Thinking in a long-term

Megu ponders.

Okay, we’ve arrived

Nagisa said. I looked out of the window.

Though it’s in the urban center, there’s a small green hill, and three large buildings lined up.

They have a different altitude, and the atmosphere of each building is also different.

The hotel here are long-standing buildings. The main building, the annex, and the new building are separate. The lowest one is the main building. The annex is the tall building in the middle. The one on the back is the new building

I see. They expanded and extended to the back.

We’ll go around and enter from the new building. The reception of tonight’s party is at the main building so everyone’s cars will be parked there

In short, the security is strict.

The underground parking lot has a new wing, so their security is lacking

Our van does a huge turn around at the hotel premise.

But still, it’s wide.

It’s over a third of the high-rise hotels, and it spreads around the whole building’s garden.

Okay, we’re in

Nagisa turns the steering wheel, and we arrived at the hotel grounds.

We then head to the underground parking lot.

I can’t see people related to the police here.

There are security guards from the hotel here and there.

This is different from the hotel in Odaiba. This hotel has the history and tradition

Margo-san said.

I see. They would like to do their security by themselves without borrowing power from outside as much as possible.

Well, in any case, this new building isn’t that strict. It’s connected to the annex on the first and second floors passage. If they check in there, then they can prevent invasion of suspicious individuals

Oh, it’s in the same hotel so they can cut loose on each building.

Nagisa parks the car in an open space in the parking lot.

Yes, okay. Megumi-chan, wake Edie-chan up Ah, yes

Megu and Mana wake up Edie.

I.

I’ll carry Mao-chan

I feel sorry to wake her up.

Thanks, dear

Nagisa said.

I get off the van.

Edie still looks sleepy.

It’s this way. Let’s go

Margo-san leads the way, Nei, Nagisa, me+Mao-chan, Megu, Mana, and Edie follows in order.

We’ll be going to the lobby of the new building

Margo-san said.

That’s where we will have people see us show up

We’re making an alibi.

The lobby of the hotel don’t have only hotel employees, but also police and bodyguards are present.

We head to the first floor with an elevator.

This hotel has a reception lobby on each building

Oh, those reserving rooms in the main building can also receive the keys to their room from the reception of the new building or the annex.

It’s all card-type electronic keys now

Margo-san said.

We arrived in the lobby.

You can take it easy on the sofa, I’ll go to the front desk and check the room Shou-oneesan has booked

Margo-san heads to the reception.

In truth, she already checked the number of the rooms in advance.

But, she’s doing that on purpose.

Then, let’s wait. Does anyone want a drink?

Nagisa asks us.

No, we just drank canned juice while waiting for the car in front of the school gate

Megu replied.

Hm?

Mao-chan wakes up in my arms.

Oh, Mao, good morning. Are you feeling thirsty?

Nagisa asks. Mao-chan;

Mama, pee

Wow, it’s that?

Don’t do it while I’m still carrying you.

Oh my, then we’ll be back

Nagisa takes Mao-chan from me.

As expected, a student like me can’t take Mao-chan to the toilet.

Ah, wait, Nagisa

I look at Mana and Edie.

Take Mana and Edie with you

I must not let my guard down even in this hotel.

If Mao-chan and Nagisa go far from us, it’ll be dangerous.

Margo-san’s looking at us either way

Margo-san’s checking us out even while heading to the front desk.

You’re right. I’ll stay here

Nei tells Mana.

Okay, got it

Mana talks to Edie.

OK

Edie agreed.

Mama, Mao’s about to leak Oh my, then let’s hurry

Nagisa, Mao-chan, Mana, and Edie goes to the toilet.

Fuu

I sit on the hotel’s sofa.

Yo-chan, it’s a fight starting now!

Nei sits next to me.

I know

Megu sits on my left side.

Megu, you did well

I tell Megu.

Huh, Yoshi-kun, I

Megu looks down gloomily.

Even coming to this hotel, I can’t do anything to help everyone Don’t be ridiculous

I poke Megu’s nose with my fingers.

Yoshi-kun?

Megu looks at me in surprise.

Megu just needs to respond a smile to me. Then, I can do my best on anything

I smile at Megu.

It’s your job as the lawful wife to sense if your husband wants to call you and speak to him kindly

Nei said with a smile.

I’m the orthodox Onee-san, so all I can tell Yo-chan is Do your best or It’s a fight or This is the critical moment things that would motivate him

Everyone has their own role.

in the family.

The family’s growing gradually as well.

No, we have to mature.

Don’t be so spoiled, get yourself together

Nei said.

A gathering of weak people is just a nuisance. Let’s become stronger, one by one. You don’t need to do anything you’re bad at. You can do what you do best, on what your role is. If troubles arise then we can just help each other

Nei said. Megu;

Yes

She nods lightly.

1. Dear Lord

Chapter 542

Chapter 542. Door

OK. I know the room Margo-san comes back from the front desk. Did they tell you right away? Nei asks. Yeah, it’s a room reserved on Shou-oneesan’s name, they told me right away Margo-san replied. I see, if Shou-neechan used Kouzuki security service’s name or Kouzuki house’s name in the reservation, it might become a problem later. Therefore, she used her name as an individual to reserve a room. Besides, it’s safer here than I thought She smiled and looked at the lobby. What do you mean? That plainclothes police, and SP, various security guards are watching here and there From Margo-san’s eyes, it’s obvious who’s a regular guest of the hotel and a person from that industry. Furthermore, those scary people hold each other back, so they have a stringent defense. It’s quite an impressive view. In addition to that, it’s not just the Japanese Oh, there are Russians too People from other countries are coming too. There are neighboring countries that want to dig into the economic cooperation between Japan and Russia. People from any country can come in if it’s in the name of cultural exchange, like tonight I see. The prime minister of Japan, the big shots of Russia, people from other countries, and Jii-chan. People from the political and financial world of Japan will come. If each of them has a bodyguard and a security firm, it can’t be helped that the stance of the bodyguards is strict. The security is mostly done by Japan’s police but, won’t that show that Kouzuki security service doesn’t have significant influence? Jii-chan’s coming so as his bodyguard, Kouzuki security service should be dispatched. Shou-neechan’s heading towards Green Mountain Studio. Chief Yazawa should be coming to give directions. Jii-chan has his personal bodyguard, Ootoku-san, and Choumoto-san with him. Thanks for the wait! Nagisa comes back from the toilet with Mao-chan. Okay, let’s go then Nei stands up from the sofa. This way. I’ve studied the hotel’s structure beforehand As expected of Margo-san, she’s reliable at times like this. Let’s go, Megu I held my hand out to Megu. Thanks, Yoshi-kun She grabs my hand and stands up. Edie comes running and grabs my other hand. Ah, Edie-chan’s unfair! Mao wants to hold hands too! Mao-chan follows angrily. Edie grins then take Mao-chan’s hand. I want Papa, not Edie-chan Mao-chan’s still angry. I don’t mind, take my side instead Mao-chan Megu lets go of my hand and goes to Mana. Thanks, Megu-oneechan! In the end, Mao-chan and Edie take both my sides. Megu and Mana hold hands. Let’s go to the back of the first floor, everyone’s in the annex Margo-san said. The hotel has three buildings, Main building, annex building, and the new building. The venue for tonight’s party is the main building.
