Margo-san looked at the courtyard.
I looked outside, as well.
Yeah, Edie’s standing behind Misuzu.
Edie went to the courtyard and swapped with Michi as Misuzu’s bodyguard.
And that’s why Michi’s here.
Looks like they’re having fun
Margo-san’s right, the courtyard has a friendly atmosphere around them.
Although, some of the bodyguards in there are thinking of abandoning their Master and try to promote themselves to other houses.
This social gathering will become troublesome in various ways.
But, is that okay? Like, Michi’s not by Misuzu’s side
The guests for today are all students from the same school as Misuzu and Michi.
Naturally, they know that Michi is Misuzu’s bodyguard.
Is it okay for the bodyguard of the Kouzuki lady to leave their Master?
It’s okay, Yoshinobu-kun
Margo-san smiled.
After all, this is the mansion of Kouzuki house. Other people don’t know where the bodyguards are placed in here
Oh, I see.
This is Michi’s home ground.
Besides, Reika-oneesan’s still doing her security lecture and Shou-oneesan’s on her side. The whole courtyard is under Kouzuki SS protection, everyone knows that. They also know that Kouzuki-san is at home today
Yeah, Jii-chan showed himself to the young ladies.
They know that the strongest bodyguards, Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san are in here, so they wouldn’t care much if Michi-chan is gone for a moment
I see.
Besides, they saw Edie-chan and Michi-chan duo during Kyouko-san’s exhibition match, they should know that Edie’s strong
Margo-san said.
Edie introduced herself to them as your bodyguard, right? But, Yoshinobu-kun is away right now, and so there’s no problem even if Edie swapped in as Misuzu-san’s bodyguard
Misuzu always has bodyguards from Kouzuki house with her, so there’s no change.
So, what’s up, Michi?
I asked Michi as I confirmed that Edie has no problems switching with her.
uu, Master!
Michi’s in low spirits, she’s about to cry.
Michi was showing a blank face behind Misuzu, but now.
She’s been holding back her emotions so hard because she’s a bodyguard.
Then, Edie noticed Michi’s being unstable. Even from a distance.
Come here, calm down, Michi
I embraced Michi’s small body.
Oh, her body’s tense, her muscles are stiff.
yes
I gently pat Michi’s back.
I kissed her cute cheeks.
Hauu
Michi leaks out a sigh.
Take a deep breath, I’ll continue to hug you
Michi, who’s in my arms, breathes deeply.
Okay, now talk about what’s on your mind yes
Michi looked up at me, trembling.
But, it looks like she can’t say anything.
What? You thought you could corner Kyouko-san if you went for a bit more?
Recently, she’s been training with Edie and Rei-chan.
She even had her Qi skills level up thanks to the shrine maiden training she received from Tsukiko.
She probably didn’t think that the skill she came up with gets dealt with quickly.
that, but also.
Michi speaks.
I didn’t notice it until it was pointed out
Hmm? What?
Kudou style martial arts isn’t about making use of Qi to fight, but instead, it’s to fight those who use Qi
Kudou style is a martial arts where you ward off your opponent’s Qi.
Kudou style’s art is to counterattack Qi attacks
i see.
I don’t know how far it dates back where you can use Qi skills, but.
If the assassination cult from New Orleans where Edie came from uses it, then I think that some martial artists in this world know how to use Qi.
Kudou style was created as a new style to fight off those martial artists that use Qi.
I’ve become too ecstatic about using Qi skills
Michi said.
It made me think that there’s hardly any people other than Edie and me who can use it
Michi collaborates with Miko power more than Qi.
Takakura Shrine maidens’ Miko power isn’t known to anyone.
In the end, it’s a unique and rare case.
However, Kudou style was about assuming that your enemy uses Qi skills and dealing with it
She probably didn’t guess that other warriors can use Qi.
Those two didn’t fire off their Qi to Edie or me
Right, Kyouko-san.
If she could reproduce Michi’s Kudou arts and Dai Grepher’s skills, then.
She should be able to use Qi skills.
Yet, Kyouko-san never showed her Qi skills in front of the young ladies and their bodyguards.
That’s because the family of the bodyguard of the young lady has connections to various people on the underground society
Yeah, you need to have people who are in the underground society if you want to keep the distinguished families safe.
The bodyguards will all report that they saw Kyouko Messer fight nearby to their relatives
And that report will reach the people on the underground.
Both the surface and below.
Edie and I fought them seriously. We challenged them with all the skills we could use right now, but.
Michi.
Those people were so overwhelming that they can look at the situation and find a scope of their power to show off after we went that far
I see.
Kyouko-san never used anything that she can’t show.
Even so, she overwhelmed Michi.
Furthermore, she even gave me a hint on the true spirit of Kudou style
Kudou style isn’t about using Qi.
But, it’s to take control of those who use Qi.
It’s a total defeat
Michi said.
Well, that happens
Margo-san smiled.
Who made the plan of having Yomi-chan and Luna-chan show up after Michi-chan and Edie? It was me
Margo-san asked. Michi replied.
I don’t think it was a bad plan, having Yomi-chan and Luna-chan ready as a backup. But, you cannot show off the Miko power to the people in this place
That’s right.
We know that there are two spies from Kansai Yakuza.
Hardly anyone of them knows about Miko power.
If they were to discover that power, another underground organization might want to take Tsukiko and the two.
Furthermore, if the foreigners discover it, it will become big trouble.
Therefore, Kyouko-san made it impossible for them to use their power before they could show it off
Throwing them off to the sky until they’re unable to focus.
That wasn’t fun Yeah, I’m still feeling dizzy
Yomi and Luna said.
But, don’t worry, there are only two people in the world who can do that
Margo-san said.
Nobody can fling and catch you with that timing unless you have overwhelming power, speed, and accuracy all combined together
Grabbing Luna’s small body in an instant, tossing her up on the air, then catching her at the right moment. No ordinary human can do that.
Much less trying to hurl and catch this huge titty loli.
In short, Kyouko-san’s the only one who can do that to deal with the Miko power
Yeah, they show that they can seal off the Miko power, but.
Kansai Yakuza can’t copy what Kyouko-san did.
I’m still immature, so they got me before I could use my power. If it was Tsukiko-oneesama, she could’ve taken control of them I think so too
Yomi and Luna said.
Yomi was surprised by the beckoning cat approach, and that got her.
As for Luna, Miss Cordelia got her from behind.
But, if it was Tsukiko, who’s always calm and collected, she’ll never miss, and she could take control of Kyouko-san.
No, that’s not it
I said.
Tsukiko will not use her Miko power in the fight to begin with
Tsukiko’s already prepared to live a life of a shrine maiden.
Yomi and Luna won’t become shrine maidens, and so, they have to look for a new way to live their life.
After all, Yomi and Luna’s power must not go public. It’ll only gather weirdos
