Yomi, Kyouko, and Cordelia are still around, right? yes, I don’t think they left yet

Yomi replied.

As everyone can guess, Kyouko Messer and Kouzuki house are currently business partners. Naturally, Kouzuki house pays Kyouko a lot of cash. And so, when Kyouko-sama has business in Japan, she will have to let Kouzuki house know the details, and if another foreign criminal organization comes in Japan, Kyouko Messer will deal with them as soon as they land Then, what about Fujimiya Reika-sama’s fight on television?

One of Rei-chan’s fan asks.

That is Kyouko Messer’s pastime. However, she’s not playing around, and so we always put our lives on the line when dealing with her

Rei-chan replied.

Kouzuki SS asked Kyouko Messer-san to train them in combat

Misuzu said.

Though it’s training, the current age of bodyguards need to develop to deal with people of her skill But, it’s unknown whether Kyouko Messer would continue her cooperation with us for long

Ruriko said.

She’s a genuine world-class crime syndicate head after all. If she finds someone who can offer better terms than Kouzuki house, she will change sides immediately

They all turned quiet.

Please imagine that. Kyouko Messer’s party went and raided our school. We’re all daughters of noble houses if a criminal group were to kidnap us.

They could take hostage of the whole political and business leaders.

And once that happens, do you think that we should protect ourselves? Our bodyguards saving only oneself, evacuating you to a safe place. Do you mind letting the criminals kidnap the other students who don’t have their personal bodyguards?

Now that they saw Kyouko Messer, an overwhelming existence.

Ruriko’s lines become solid in their imagination.

If we want our bodyguards cooperating, then it has to start with regular training. And gathering such as this is a necessity, depending on the situation, they might need to share each other’s secret techniques

Kanou-san said.

However, it’s our family’s treasure!

Anjou Mitama speaks with a firm tone.

Kanou-san looks at Shie-san.

Shie, does your family have a secret technique?

Shie-san speaks without care.

Yes, we do have a few

Shie-san’s house also had those.

Have you used that in combat at least once? Also, do you think it would pass if it’s against Kyouko Messer-san’s level?

Shie-san.

I cannot answer the first question. Everyone’s listening, and so my answer to the second question is I don’t know

She hides the real answer.

I see. But I think that you should test out your skills at least once

Kanou-san said.

I don’t know if Kuraman-san’s bodyguard display of a strange skill is their secret technique, but.

No, I doubt that anyone other than people before their thirties can do that skylab hurricane mixer.

Like, it’s combined Skylab Hurricane and Hurricane mixer or so they say

Kouzuki SS also has some old martial arts techniques that are obsolete for the current age. So they’re working out on arranging it to become usable for the present era. Right, Michi-san?

Shou-neechan looks at Michi.

Yes, I’m sorting through the ancient skills of Kudou arts and turning them usable for the current age

Hmm, Kudou style turned weird since Michi’s father.

I believe that it’s about time for everyone to sort through the techniques passed through your family generations

Shou-neechan said.

Kouzuki SS knows how to do it. We have gathered professional who uses various martial arts, and we have an understanding of modern warfare. If you don’t mind, we are willing to help However, that only means that Kouzuki SS will also absorb the secret techniques from family tradition

The one complaining is the girl Tendou Otome pushes forward.

That spy looks like she hates it if things don’t go her way.

There’s no need for you to reveal all of your secret techniques. If there’s something you want to hide, then please continue hiding it. But, I think that it benefits you if you have your skills checked by professionals, right?

Shou-neechan said.

Not all of the family tradition secret techniques are passed from parent to child anyway The point is that we want to create a system where we can cooperate with each other in case anything happens. If it’s now, we cannot assist, and we don’t know who has what skills. But, if we could collaborate, even for just a bit, then it makes it easier to support each other

Edie said.

Michi and I displayed a lot earlier. Both our secret and hidden techniques

No, it wasn’t on purpose.

You two were trying to fight Kyouko-san seriously, and so you didn’t hide anything.

Edie is trying to persuade the girls with reason.

Then.

Can I ask a question? Earlier, there was a technique you used to stop Kyouko Messer from moving for a moment. Was that a Qi skill?

One of the young ladies raised her hand.

Beauty with long straight black hair.

The other young ladies are wearing a party dress, yet.

She’s the only one wearing a short white suit like it’s a school uniform.

Right

Edie smiled.

Then, allow me to speak boldly. Could you teach that skill to me?

Huh? You want to learn that?

But, she’s not a bodyguard, but a young lady.

She’s sitting down.

Were you not taught to introduce yourself if you seek instruction?

Edie tells the black-haired lady.

You’re rude! You’re just a bodyguard!

Torii-san scolds Edie, but.

If it’s between a fellow soldier, there’s no bodyguard, there’s no young lady

Edie said. Then the black-haired young lady stands up.

I’m very sorry about that. I’m Kuromiya style spearmanship teacher, Kuromia Motoko

Kuromiya-san bows her head to Edie.

I’m born in Kuromiya house, and as you can see, I do have a bodyguard, but I do intend on continuing the path of the warrior myself

She’s becoming a martial artist despite being a young lady?

I guess they exist too.

Mikuriya, greet them

The girl with fluffy hair standing behind Kuromiya-san bows her head.

She’s a bodyguard, yet she’s wearing a skirt. She’s more of the young lady at a glance.

Kuromiya school, Mikuriya Kurumi

She holds her dress and greets with grace.

And I’m Edie

Edie greets.

If it’s Qi, I can teach you anytime. However, it depends on you whether you can use it or not We don’t mind no matter how strict the training Yes

Kuromiya-san and Mikuriya-san said.

The severity of training doesn’t matter. It’s a matter of sense

Edie said.

Those without the sense can never do it no matter how much they try. You already know which ones have the sense, right? Michi?

Edie talks to Michi.

That’s right

Michi nods.

I mean, if there’s anyone else who wants to learn, just say it immediately. I’m an American, and so I don’t talk about hiding secrets or anything about your school. That’s narrow-minded. Skills carried out from the old days are disappearing after all

Edie said. Shie-san;

That’s not true. Japan respects tradition. They inherit the family tradition from generations. Americans probably will never understand that Didn’t I just say it earlier? I’m only looking at the sense

Edie smiled wryly.

If the child born in a family can’t use their family technique, then that will disappear. You don’t always give birth to a child with a sense for martial arts after all

Oh.

Right.

Children who don’t have that battle sense can’t ultimately inherit the family tradition style.

The secret technique passed through generations becomes lukewarm.

If it remains in the right shape, then the other blood will need it Edie-san’s right. In Noh and Kabuki society, the old traditional arts aren’t passed down in one family. They pick the performer with a good sense from other blood, going through multiple performances on the way, and that connects to the current age
