Kanou-san speaks strongly.
I see. I get it.
Kanou-san’s house is perhaps on the same line of history as Kouzuki house.
That’s why Misuzu calls her with respect.
And, during that day, Misuzu was last, Ruriko was before Misuzu, Yoshiko-san was before Ruriko, and Kanou-san was before Yoshiko-san.
With that sort, it’s not about who’s the best, but who’s superior.
Furthermore, Yoshiko-san wasn’t announced as Jii-chan’s granddaughter yet.
Kanou-san must be discontented that Ruriko’s attendant, Yoshiko-san came later than her.
Indeed. Torii-san doesn’t seem to understand what we’re talking about, let’s leave it at that
Misuzu put Kanou-san into consideration.
Perhaps, it’s a lot of trouble if she doesn’t.
Well, I can take steps to understand. No need to hollow it out.
Putting that aside, I’d like to know the names of your bodyguards
I said.
Kanou-san shows a startled face.
Bodyguards are just servants
So that’s how she thinks.
But, it’s a social gathering about your bodyguards, right? Since while we’re at it, I’d like to know them
I said with a smile.
Indeed, as you can see, the masters are having conversations, yet the bodyguards aren’t
Misuzu looks at the other tables.
Yeah, the master’s who are sitting down are having a conversation, but.
The bodyguards behind them are silent.
They’re away for now, but we will introduce our bodyguards later
Misuzu speaks brightly.
That’s Michi.
Speaking of.Where’s Michi?
Still, if that’s the case, then shouldn’t the servants talk to each other?
Kanou-san said.
Introducing themselves as bodyguards, and if they were scouted for another company later.
Well, I guess there’s that.
They think that Kouzuki SS only wants to scout the good bodyguards.
But, since we have this opportunity, could you at least let me know the names of your bodyguards?
I said.
We’re all fellow humans, it would be sad not to know their name You can check that and know right away, don’t you? Kouzuki-sama’s got research body with Kouzuki SS
Kanou-san rejects.
Indeed, I think I can know the names of the bodyguards if I ask them. But, that’s not a relationship between people Relationship between people? To a servant? A bodyguard?
Oh, she doesn’t get it.
I stand up from my chair.
I look at the eyes of the four bodyguards.
Hello. Nice to meet you, I’m Kuromori Kou
I greeted them one by one.
The four were confused.
Ufufufu, fufufufufu
Torii-san laughed.
Kuromori-sama, you’re such an interesting person!
Then, she looked behind her, to the black-haired yet halforeign girl.
She’s my bodyguard. Her name’s Haiji
Then, the girl named Haiji.
Adelheid. Mariko-sama Yes, Adelheid, that’s why I call you Haiji
Torii-san said and laughed.
Pleased to meet you, Adelheid-san
I greeted her, then.
Katori Adelheid
She bows her head to me.
That’s right. This girl’s Haiji, yet, she’s also Katori! Lololol
I don’t understand why Torii-san’s laughing.
Torii-san has introduced Adelheid-san to us. Kanou-san, could you introduce your bodyguard as well?
I speak gently to Kanou-san.
I will ask the same, Kanou-sama
Misuzu also speaks.
Haa, if Misuzu-sama goes that far. It can’t be helped then
Kanou-san finally gives in.
This is my bodyguard. Shie, go and greet everyone
The tall girl called Shie faces not me but Misuzu and Ruriko.
I’m the officially appointed bodyguard from Kanou house. Shiranui Gou
She bows her head. What a brisk movement.
But.
Danna-sama, the character ‘江’(Gou) is read as Shie Oh, you know about it, Misuzu? Yes. Shie-san’s been Kanou-sama’s bodyguard since she was young
Oh. I see.
Kanou-san stubbornly didn’t introduce her bodyguard to me.
Misuzu and Ruriko already know.
Their super-high-class-lady school has only a few people, and so, they see the bodyguards daily.
And they should know the name.
Therefore, there’s no need to introduce their servants this late.
Then, I’m the only one who doesn’t know the names of the bodyguards here.
Kanou-san doesn’t want to accept that.
Well, nice to meet you, Gou-san
I greeted her.
Please call me Shie
She replies, expressionlessly.
That is what Sakurako-ojousama wants
Hmm?
She uses her real name, Gou, when introducing herself on formal locations, but, she doesn’t look your way unless you call her Shie-san
Misuzu laughed.
Then, that means.
Yes, Shie-san is in my class
That means she’s in second-year.
Kanou-sama and Torii-sama are both in their first-year
Huh?
Putting Torii-san aside, I seriously thought that Kanou-san is a senior.
I mean, Misuzu’s calling Kanou-san with -sama, and so she must have a high status for that.
My Haiji is in middle school, first-year
That’s another one. eeh?
Two years younger than Michi?
I guess halforeign girls are tall.
I mean.
To think that she’s already a personal bodyguard at age 13.
Maybe she’s strong, or perhaps it’s in her family. It’s either of the two.
Well then, Kurama-san, please introduce your bodyguards to Danna-sama as well
I already heard about Kurama’s relationship with Kouzuki from Misuzu.
yes.uhm.
The big sister, Kurama Misato-san, tries to introduce her bodyguard to me, but.
Does it have meaning? I mean, it’s Kurama-san’s family
Torii-san speaks without thinking.
Right. They’re bodyguards you’re dismissing anyway, aren’t you?
Kanou-san also speaks coldly.
If you look at your situation, Kurama-san’s house no longer is in a place to talk about having a bodyguard anymore
You mean?
uu
The big sister starts to cry.
O-Onee-sama!
The little sister embraces her elder sister.
Then.
Kurama Mistato-sama’s bodyguard, Anjou Mitama
The elder sister’s bodyguard greets me.
Kurama Arisu-sama’s bodyguard, Anjou Kinuka
The younger sister’s bodyguard too.
I knew it, they’re sisters too.
What do you plan in your future?
Kanou-san starts questioning them.
If you’d like, we can hire you in our Kanou clan
And now going out of the blue.
Oh, if I recall, Ruriko-sama’s personal bodyguard is no longer present! Since you have the opportunity, would you like to take them?
Torii-san adds something unnecessary.
Uhm, I’m still contracted with Kurama-sama. Yes, we’re still within our contract period!
Anjou sisters declare firmly.
But, you soon will be. Think about my proposal. There’s nothing bad about it
Kanou-san said.
Misuzu-sama, Ruriko-sama, please leave these two bodyguards to me.
She speaks with a sharp look.
What’s going on?
Kanou-san, this Anjou sisters.No, the Kurama house.
You don’t have to ask us, it’s Kurama-san’s family bodyguards, and so it’s for them to decide. I don’t think we should make a fuss when they haven’t decided on anything yet
Misuzu speaks.
You’re right. I’m sorry for being too forward with it
Kanou-san bows her head.
Uhm, how old are you two?
I ask the two to ease up the mood.
I’m in my third year in high school, my little sister is in first-year middle school
I see.
Kurama-san has their bodyguards at the same age as their masters
Misuzu explains to me.
Then that means Kurama Misato-san is 18, and Arisu-san is 13.
Yeah, now I know who’s who
