Hurry up and stand! Come over here!
I tell the Kurama sisters.
For now, we can’t do anything unless we hear your problem
Kurama-elder looked at me as if she’s going to cling.
I hate that gaze.
I’m not saying I’m helping you. I’ll just listen to what you want to say Indeed, we can only hear your story, but sorry, we can’t be of help to you. Please come here knowing that
Misuzu also pins them in.
Let’s go, Onee-sama
The little sister said.
Arisu We’ve come this far. They’ll listen to what we have to say at least Indeed
She takes a deep breath.
Then, the sisters stand up.
Come, Kurama-san
The lady in the wine dress, Kanou-san, looks like a caring person.
She held up Kurama-elder in her arms and walked together with them.
It can’t be helped.
Torii-san comes to our table.
Then.
Behind them.
Four bodyguards follow their masters, not saying anything.
Ruriko-san, you can come over there too
Huh? Yoshiko-san, who was inside the mansion, is now here?
I will be entertaining the people in this table
Leaving the daughters of the troublesome parents from the Kouzuki group to her.
Yoshiko wants Ruriko to go to our table?
But, Yoshiko-oneesama.
Ruriko looks at Yoshiko-san worriedly.
Yoshiko-san’s been Ruriko’s attendant for long.
Jii-chan acknowledges her as his granddaughter, but she’s still an illegitimate child of the late first son.
There’s that delicate reserve between her and the daughters of the Kouzuki group.
I will be fine
Yoshiko-san sat down on the table and looked at the young ladies.
They don’t expect me, the daughter of Kouzuki head house, announced at the very last moment, to be in this place.
She smiled.
Right.
This is Yoshiko-san’s fight to secure her place for herself.
I understand. Please entertain everyone in here, Yoshiko-oneesama
Ruriko tells her cousin.
Everyone, I give you my best regards with my precious cousin
She bows her head to the young ladies in the table.
Chapter 844. High Life Naming oneself
Err, thank you for inviting us today, it’s an honor
Torii Mariko-san comes to our table and starts greeting Misuzu and Ruriko.
Uhm, it’s the highest honor to have the two granddaughters of Kouzuki house be this close
Misuzu smiled.
Thank you for your greetings. Please, sit. Torii-san yes
Mariko-san sits down nervously.
Misuzu, then.
Kanou-sama, please sit down as well
Kanou Sakurako-san is hesitating.
Grandfather asked us to do this, please don’t worry too much. Everyone in the table over there won’t think badly of Kanou-sama even if you take a seat
That table has Yoshiko-san dealing with the young daughters of the Kouzuki group.
Seeing that she’s sitting alone on a different table, Kanou-san’s house might not be getting along with Kouzuki house.
Misuzu calls her Kanou-sama.
Indeed. This is a rare chance, please join us by all means
Ruriko, who comes in from behind, encourages Kanou-san to sit down.
You’re right. I understand. Then, excuse me
Kanou-san joins in our table.
Kanou-san’s attendant, a bodyguard who is tall and has a sharp look in her eyes, pulls the chair.
Kanou-san sits down gracefully.
Huh?
I wonder why did Torii-san’s bodyguard not pull the chair for her?
I look at Torii-san’s bodyguard while avoiding their gaze.
Oh, I didn’t see it that well because of the sunglasses, but.
Her eyes are blue. She’s probably mixed race. Her hair is black, and her facial features seem Japanese, so I thought she is, but.
Kurama-san, please
Misuzu calls out to the trembling Kurama sisters.
we.
The big sister’s afraid.
Onee-sama, this might be our last chance
The little sister speaks to her weak-hearted big sister.
But, for someone like us to sit on that table.
Kurama Misato-san’s in panic.
Do you mind? Kanou-sama, Torii-san?
Misuzu smiled at the two.
if Misuzu-sama doesn’t mind.
Torii-san forces herself to make a smile.
I don’t mind either, this is the last opportunity for Kurama-san to talk anyway
Kanou-san speaks coldly.
It’s genuinely, unfortunate, I have known Kurama-san since childhood after all
Then that means, Kanou Sakurako-san is at the same age as Kurama-elder.
Although, we never had a friendly talk before
Misuzu’s school is connected from kindergarten to high school
They were together for at least ten years, and yet.
They never talked.
How long are you going to stand there? If you continue to do that, it will look like Misuzu-sama sand we are bullying you
Kanou-san speaks strongly
She puts herself in the same rank as Misuzu.
However, she ignores Torii-san.
Oh, I can see their relationships now.
if you’d excuse us Excuse us
In Kurama sisters’ case. Oh, their bodyguards do pull their chairs.
The sisters have one bodyguard each.
Oh, these two might be sisters as well.
They look the same, and their Qi.
Ruriko, sit down Yes, Misuzu-oneesama
Ruriko pulls her seat and sits down.
Danna-sama, let’s reintroduce everyone
Misuzu smiled at me.
This is Kanou Sakurako-sama. Kanou-sama, this is my future husband Kuromori Kou
I bow my head.
Kanou Sakurako. Pleased to meet you
Sakurako-san shows a standoffish attitude, as she replied.
Oh, maybe she hates me.
I don’t sense malice, but I sense hostility.
Then, this is, Torii Mariko-san, was it?
I guess Misuzu’s not acquainted with Torii-san.
yes! Torii! Torii.Torii Mariko!
Torii-san’s a bit energetic.
That helps. I feel less nervous when there’s someone way more nervous than me.
Kuromori Kou. Pleased to meet you yee!
What? Why are you bowing like that?
Am I a shogun?
And then, the Kurama sisters. They belong to the Kouzuki group
Misuzu explained it that way, that means.
Kanou-san and Torii-san’s family don’t have relations with Kouzuki clan.
She introduced them last to me because they are members of the same organization.
Kurama Arisu!
The younger sister replies cheerfully.
Kurama Misato.
The elder sister is depressed.
Kuromori Kou. I thank you for looking after Misuzu and Ruriko no, we’re not. we’re in the same class in Japanese dancing as Misuzu-sama!
The little sister follows up to the trembling sister.
Oh, Nadeshiko-sensei’s class? Then, that means you were there during the dance presentation last May? Indeed, Danna-sama, these two were surprised
Oh, that time.
Oh, but forgive me. I didn’t know much about traditional dance. I watched it, but I didn’t know who the dancers were.
I don’t remember these two.
We do dress up and put on some makeup, it alters our appearances
Ruriko explained.
we saw that.
The elder sister speaks bashfully.
Kuromori-sama and Misuzu-sama.that.
aah!
Oh right. Misuzu and I kissed on stage while everyone’s watching.
i saw that too
Kurama-younger speaks.
No, you got me there.
uhm, what is that about?
Torii-san doesn’t seem to know.
Then that means, she’s not in Nadeshiko-sensei’s traditional dance class.
Hmm?
Uhm, could it be that Kanou-san danced that day? Before Yoshiko-san?
I recalled.
I remember someone with this mature face.
Yes, I participated in the dance presentation
Kanou-san replied with hurt feelings.
Err, uhm, can you explain it to me?
Torii-san’s trying to get into the conversation desperately.
Can we end this conversation? I have other topics that need discussion
