Adelheid-san said.

I wonder if she trained to become a bodyguard from a different country?

Oh, you speak as if you know all of the bodyguards in Japan

Kanou-san speaks to Adelheid-san in displeasure.

It’s only been a few years since you came to Japan, right? And since you’re Torii-san’s bodyguard, you probably never went to places where there are first-class bodyguards, have you?

Torii-san’s family must be on the lower end of the class.

So that’s why she can’t join in Nadeshiko-sensei’s class.

And she doesn’t have any acquaintance among the ladies that danced back then?

Besides, you couldn’t employ someone in Japan, and so you brought someone coming from another country, didn’t you

Kanou-san said

Traditional families each have a family as their bodyguard from long ago. And your family. Haiji is Japanese!

Torii-san shouted to stop Kanou-san.

She’s Adelheid Katori! Katori is a Japanese name! Really? But Adelheid is a German name, isn’t it?

Kanou-san provokes her further.

And that’s why I use Haiji! Haiji is from an anime!

I don’t understand Torii-san’s claims.

If Johanna Spyri heard that she’ll get angry, Torii-san

Kanou-san laughed.

Who’s Johanna Spyri?

Torii-san turned to Adelheid-san and asked.

I don’t know either

Then.

Johanna Spyri’s the writer of Heidi

Edie replied with a smile.

You really are useless don’t look down on me!

Torii-san’s anger now turns to Edie.

She’s not talking about that

Michi speaks up.

Everyone, do you really think that Reika-oneesama’s the strongest in this place?

Huh?

Do you girls have bad eyes? Maybe your eyeballs are rotting

Edie laughed.

what do you mean?

Shie-san’s startled.

Fujimiya Reika-san’s emitting such a strong Qi I heard that Seki-san is strong, but, if you look at the two of them like that, it’s evident that Fujimiya Reika’s stronger

Mitama-san said.

Kouzuki Kakka’s Ootoku and Choumoto are already gone. No matter how you look at it, it’s Fujimiya Reika-sama who’s the strongest in this place

Adelheid-san said.

Yes, that’s right!

Anjou Kinuka-san too.

And that’s why your eyes are starting to rot

Edie speaks loudly.

Hearing that, the other young ladies looked this way.

what? wait, do you mean?

Torii-san’s about to say something unnecessary.

You’re not going to say that you’re the strongest, are you?

I knew it.

Shie, how do you see these people?

Kanou-san asks Shie-san’s opinion on Michi and Edie.

Yes. Earlier, they have erased their presence entirely. As expected of the bodyguards of Kouzuki clan I know that. But that’s not what I meant, are those girls strong? Give your assessment

As her master ordered, Shie-san.

I think they’re strong. However, I don’t feel fear from the two of them What do you mean? They’re great at hide-and-seek, but they don’t let out a strong Qi

Kinuka-san answered instead of Shie-san.

If they are strong, then they should leak out their Qi. Just like Fujimiya Reika-san over there

Mitama-san looked at Rei-chan.

The young ladies and the bodyguards looked at Rei-chan.

Those who are truly strong makes you shiver as they approach. However, these two don’t make you feel that you’re in danger

Adelheid-san said.

Yes, that’s right, those that aren’t scary aren’t strong! Yes, I don’t feel like I will lose I will attack from the sky.

Kinuka-san, Shie-san, Mitama-san, they all think that they’re stronger than Edie and Michi.

Haa

Edie sighed, fed up.

Looks like you girls are still ignorant of the ways of the world

Edie said the bodyguards get offended.

It can’t be helped. That’s the reason why Misuzu-oneesama hosted this assembly.

Michi said.

What do you mean by that, Misuzu-sama?

Kanou-san asks Misuzu who’s on the same table.

Misuzu.

You’ll know soon enough

Misuzu looks at Shou-neechan.

Seki-san, please begin!

Shou-neechan stands before everyone.

Then, we’ll begin with our lessons as bodyguards of Kouzuki SS. The party will resume after the lecture. Please enjoy

As expected from someone who keeps company of VIPs who visit Jii-chan.

Shou-neechan’s smile loosens up the atmosphere.

I will talk to Reika-sama in this informal talk I would like to take a photo of us together, I’ll ask you to take pictures Me too

The young ladies start making exchanges.

Rei-chan is that popular.

Well then, let’s have Fujimiya greet everyone

Shou-oneechan calls Rei-chan, she moves forward.

Fujimiya Reika, pleased to meet you. Man, there’s a lot at this party, isn’t it? I welcome you all

Rei-chan’s cool.

Well, today’s topic is about bodyguards, and so I would like for the bodyguards who are here to protect to gather around

How many people are here, by the way?

About 30, I guess?

It doesn’t look like it’s just 15 masters and 15 bodyguards.

There are cases where one bodyguard has two masters, or someone having one or two bodyguards.

Since they have to be students in Misuzu’s school, all of them are girls.

However, the young ladies in college and too young aren’t here.

The lecture would be too hard for the really young girls, and those in college already have adult bodyguards.

The targets are the young ladies from grade school to high school.

Oh, so that’s why. That one with two bodyguards has a little sister.

They came here to take lessons.

And you were arguing just now, weren’t you? Did you hear that?

Rei-chan points at our table.

I heard it, and it’s a compelling argument. It’s actually related to our lecture today

The conversation just now?

That part where Shie-san said that she doesn’t feel fear from Michi or Edie.

If you face someone powerful, then you will sense their Qi, thinking, Oh, this person is strong. And so, you can sense those that have a bodyguard profession, it’s also possible that some of the young ladies here can sense some of their Qi i can feel it Really? Ah, it’s something like This one’s scary, right?

Rei-chan’s fans speak loudly.

That’s right, that’s the sensation. It’s in human nature to live alongside danger, and so our sixth sense kicks in when we find something dangerous. Oh, it’s dangerous in here, Something might happen, Is this person dangerous. And when you sense it, you leave and find a safe place. Some have their senses tell them that it might be dangerous, But, maybe not, I’ll be fine, they try to desperately ease up. No, in such cases, it’s not just yourself, your father, your mother, your relatives, they might mourn for you Yeah, if I got hurt, Mother will feel sad Indeed, my mother would do the same Therefore, the first thing to do is to sharpen your sense towards anything dangerous, and if you feel in danger, stand up and don’t forget courage Yes, Reika-sama I promise!

Err.

Rei-chan’s fan is excited, but.

About a third of them are looking at Rei-chan coldly.

You don’t have to tell us that this late, that’s what their faces say.

Especially the bodyguards.

However, that’s not enough

Rei-chan smiled.

I am a professional, and so I leak out a strong Qi all the time to make sure that people with ill intent don’t approach my master. It’s a warning. I make them think Ah, I can’t do anything as long as she’s there

Right, Rei-chan.

That’s what I do, and here we have Seki. As you’ve seen earlier, Kakka’s personal bodyguards, Ootoku and Choumoto both show that they’re strong Indeed, that was scary I was trembling!
