Shou-neechan tries to say that, but.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a servant or not, if an adult came over to teach, then it’s natural to thank them
That’s right.
These girls clapped their hands as a courtesy, but.
Nobody thanked Rei-chan and Shou-neechan at all.
Misuzu, before you begin the toast, you show Seki-san your gratitude and then wish for happiness to everyone who came over today, and that’s when you toast
I said. Misuzu.
I understand. Then, please hold your glass as well, Danna-sama
Huh?
Oh, right, I don’t have a glass yet.
Here, Nii-san
Edie handed Luna a glass.
It looks like it has orange juice.
Michi and the girls have their glass already.
Everyone, other than the maids, has their glass.
Well, the maids aren’t guests, so.
Well then, everyone, first, Fujimiya Reika-san and Seki-san of Kouzuki SS, we thank you for a very educational lecture for today
Misuzu bows her head, and the others followed.
And then, for everyone who gathered here today, I thank you. I wish for everyone in here to enjoy life, and not get into any troubles and a toast to that
That’s right. It’s that kind of gathering today.
Toast!
Misuzu’s voice echoes in the courtyard.
I raised my glass and took a sip.
Then, please enjoy the party, everyone
Misuzu said, and the garden party begins.
Now, this is where the battle begins.
Chapter 852. High Life Secret Technique
Then, please enjoy the night everyone
Misuzu announced the start of the party, and yet.
The young ladies are still quiet.
They seem puzzled about why do they have to toast together with their servants.
However, with this tense atmosphere.
The bodyguards will no longer move to promote themselves to other houses.
Misuzu-sama, I have a question
Kanou-san didn’t take a sip from the glass.
Yes, what is it, Kanou-sama?
Misuzu smiles.
Everyone in the courtyard looked at the two.
What are you trying to do?
Kanou-san glared at Misuzu.
Shie-san behind her shows a blank look on her face.
She’s holding the glass, but she’s not drinking.
Well, her Master still hasn’t taken a sip, so the servant won’t do the same.
What do you mean?
Misuzu shows a relaxed look as she answered.
Why is Kouzuki Misuzu-sama treating the bodyguards equally as us?
Kanou-san asks.
Even if you ask me, I only did what Danna-sama told me to do
Misuzu’s eyes send me a passionate look.
Today, I have sent invitations to everyone. By that, I mean the young ladies of each family and their bodyguards. That means everyone in this courtyard are all my, no, guests of Kouzuki house I don’t accept that reason. I’m asking why do I have to treat the servants as an equal!
Kanou-san responded with a slightly irritated tone.
Oh? Do you not understand it? Kanou-sama?
Misuzu replies slowly.
I’m the one who invited you all, which means that I’m the one who lowers my attitude the most in here. All the young ladies and the bodyguards here are superior to me. You’re all my guests after all
The young ladies and their bodyguards listen to what Misuzu’s saying.
Despite that, if I don’t offer a glass to the bodyguards, who are also my guests, then it would be impolite of me. It will be a display of hubris. Danna-sama only pointed out that error of mine
Misuzu points at me, everyone’s now looking this way.
Luna, who’s clinging on my back sticks closer.
Danna-sama, Misuzu made a mistake. I’m sorry. I won’t make the same mistake again, please do not abandon Misuzu.
Misuzu apologizes to me.
She does that while all the young ladies, the bodyguards, the Kouzuki SS female employees wearing maid clothing watches.
I.
As long as you understand. Also, don’t do it again
Err.
I won’t hate you from something this trivial, don’t worry Thank you, Danna-sama
That weird exchange eased up the tension from the girls in the courtyard.
It’s a matter within Kouzuki house, please pay it no heed
Ruriko smiled at the other girls instead of Misuzu.
Kouzuki house is a family with an ancient origin and is currently thriving by managing various enterprise
Ruriko said.
Though I say management, it’s nothing different from business. And in business, the first rule is to never be rude with your customers
The young girl continues her speech.
Kouzuki group has plenty of people working for them. They’re employees of the Kouzuki group during office hours. However, if it goes beyond that, they’re precious customers of Kouzuki group products. Grandfather always tells us They’re the employees of Kouzuki group, and that makes them the first customers for the products of Kouzuki group That’s right.
If the people working for Jii-chan’s company says, the other company has better products and service, let’s go buy there.
Kouzuki group will have no future.
The society may force its employees to buy in-house products, but the Kouzuki group doesn’t implement that rule. A forced purchase will not let you listen to any dissatisfaction or demands the employees have for the products
Ruriko smiled.
That’s Henry Ford’s ideology
Torii-san, who can’t read the mood, joins in the conversation.
Back then, when talking about cars, it’s a rich person’s luxury item. Henry Ford raised the salary of the workers on his automobile company, and the type Ford made cheaply was mass-produced, and so the workers were able to purchase one. He started with the people in his company, and soon after, cars became popularized with the public Oh, I see. The thought of they’re just servants no longer work at this age. We would like all the bodyguards to seek out the products of Kouzuki group as well Indeed, the bodyguards are also guests for today, and so this is nothing but hospitality
Ruriko said. Misuzu takes over.
Dear guests, do enjoy the night according to your judgment
Your judgment.
That means, within their own master’s permission.
I see.
Misuzu isn’t treating the young ladies and their bodyguards as equal.
Instead, she’s sending a message that the bodyguards should also enjoy within the scope of their duty.
Well, the relationship between the young ladies and bodyguard is all over the place.
Some bodyguards are friendly with their young lady.
And some bodyguards came from loyal servant family.
This is a gathering of various young ladies, meaning.
And so, they unconsciously conform their strict rule from their family to their bodyguards.
The traditional formula where Master and Servants has a clear distinction between them.
The idea of not giving the bodyguards a glass for toast is proof.
But this is just a small gathering of the young ladies and their bodyguards with gentle relationships. So it’s reasonable to have everyone toast.
I, Kouzuki Misuzu, ask all of you to do so I’d like to ask for the same
Misuzu and Ruriko bowed their head.
Yoshiko won’t show herself at times like this.
She’s lived as Ruriko’s attendant for a long time.
If she speaks as a representative of Kouzuki’s house at times like this, she’ll only receive animosity.
Therefore, Yoshiko-san leaves it to Misuzu and Ruriko, she backs off to not stand out.
If that’s what Misuzu-sama says. Now, let’s toast once again
The young ladies who are close to their bodyguards are joined with their bodyguards.
The whole courtyard is filled with a gentle mood, but.
Wait!
Kanou-san seems to remain unconvinced.
You all seem to be deceived smoothly, but ordinary employees are different from bodyguards!
She protests.
Bodyguards are born from generations of servants! They’re SERVANTS! They will never be equal to us!
