Ruriko talks about traditional performance art.
Furthermore, martial arts isn’t artistic like the performing arts. You take down people or protect someone. Even if it’s a secret technique passed down for generations, if you can’t use it at the current age, then it’s useless. You can leave it behind as traditional art. However, if it’s a skill you need to protect someone, you must abandon useless skills Edie speaks strongly. If you’re sticking to some obsession, you won’t be able to protect anyone
Edie smiled.
Also, it’s not just the bodyguards, the young ladies need to learn something to defend themselves
Hey, Edie?
Like Motoko
Edie points at Kuromiya-san.
Hey, you’re rude to Kuromiya-sama!
Shie-san shouts at Edie, but.
No, I don’t mind. I aspire to become an apprentice. It’s natural for martial artists to be addressed without honorifics
Kuromiya-san said calmly.
Uhm, I also am taking lessons in Kudou style’s self-defense
Ruriko tells everyone.
Me too, I train together with Danna-sama
Misuzu said.
Sometimes, Fujimiya-san and Seki-san also join in our training
Yeah, when Shou-neechan and Rei-chan stay over in our mansion.
Everyone trains together.
We have machines in the training room in the mansion.
We sweat ourselves in the garden or in the basement, where Agnes was confined back then.
I often join in their training as well
Margo-san enters.
Why don’t you try coming over and move your body together with us?
She smiled.
No, uhm, it’s the bodyguard family’s duty to teach their Master self-defense
Shie-san said, but.
Why not? It’s more fun if we’re all together
Margo-san shows a refreshing smile.
However, I don’t think we can take it easy if we’re in a mansion where Kouzuki-sama is staying!
This time, Kanou-san resists.
Oh, She thinks that we’re living in the main mansion of Kouzuki house.
I mean, everyone’s wearing a beautiful dress.
They’re fussing because it’s a place where they might meet Jii-chan.
If that’s the case, would you like to use the older building of Kouzuki SS?
Shou-neechan said with a smile.
It’s only separated a street from this mansion, we can head there immediately. The duty bodyguards and standby have used this place for long, but we moved everyone to the new building, and nobody uses the old one. We have a dojo over there Is that okay, Seki-san?
Misuzu asks.
That mansion belongs to Kouzuki house as well I understand. Then I will ask Grandfather Me too
Misuzu and Ruriko said.
Then, I will be training there periodically
Rei-chan agreed with everyone.
I will drop by sometimes too
Margo-san said.
Huh? Reika-sama, you won’t teach self-defense? Wow? What do I do? Misuzu-sama, I would like to participate Me too!
The leader charges and the soldiers follow.
If Rei-chan’s fans say that they’re participating.
Their bodyguard has to follow as well.
While at it, it becomes a joint training.
And fellow bodyguards can deepen their bonds naturally.
By the way, Motoko
Edie speaks to Kuromiya-san.
Yes, what is it? Earlier, you mentioned something. Soujutsu, was it?
Edie smiles.
Kuromiya Motoko-san understood it from that smile.
Then, I will teach Soujutsu Then please
Yeah, cooperation begins from the upper level.
Then, please join in, everyone
Ruriko invites everyone once again.
i won’t join in! No!
Even so, Anjou sisters refuse.
mitama, Kinuka
Kurama Misato, who shrunk down, looks troubled.
that’s rude to Misuzu-sama, speaking so loudly That’s right. You two
Kurama Arisu-san, the little sister embracing the frightened elder sister, scolds her bodyguards.
but But!
Why are these two so obsessed about?
Kurama-san. It can’t be helped, these two are desperate on making a market for themselves
Torii-san?
With Kurama-san’s situation right now, you can’t keep your bodyguards, and that means that they’ll be unemployed
Torii-san said. Kurama sisters tremble.
That’s why they’re so desperate. They even tried to make some daring appeal of going at Kyouko Messer that’s wrong!
Anjou Kinuka denies it in a low voice.
Making a plea that you have some traditional secret technique, advertising yourself so desperately to get hired by another house. It’s commendable, but to think that you’re already looking for your next Master when you still have the current one. Although, I guess Kurama-san’s family is a carefree one that they don’t think of their own children’s future. If you don’t move on your own accord, you’ll die together with Kurama house, I’m worried about you So that’s the reason why the Anjou sisters are in a weird mood?
Their wild action and speech were all for job hunting?
Anjou house has a secret technique!
Mitama-san glared at Torii-san and said.
It doesn’t matter. I can understand how you feel
Torii-san doesn’t listen to them.
I will search for an employer for you two
Kanou-san?
Huh? That’s kind of you
Torii-san speaks teasingly.
Torii-san’s family can’t talk to other families, right?
Kanou-san glared back.
Shie Yes, I will talk to Father and tap other bodyguard families
Kanou house is a family with a history, and so they have a network for between bodyguards.
I’m grateful for your offer, but we refuse Refuse!
Anjou sisters tell Kanou-san.
But, if you stop your job, it will become easier for Kurama house
Kurama’s house looks like they’re nearing bankruptcy.
No, we already received our pay! Pay!
what?
Kinuka and I are Kurama house bodyguards from birth! From birth! If Kurama’s house were to perish, then we will come with them! With them!
hey! Wait!
We jumped in the fight with Kyouko Messer to show the spirit of Kurama house vassals! Their family may be sinking, but us retainers will never yield! Yield!
The sisters said.
But.
What faithful servants. I will talk to father and find a new household to serve for them Indeed, after all, Kurama house is expected to fall Let’s find a new employer for their sake as well
Kurama house’s collapse is already determined, really?
They think that they can’t bounce back.
It’s a waste to have such loyal retainers stay with Kurama-san and disappear with them How about we employ them at our house? Oh, the younger is a cute one, yes My little sister as at the age where she needs a bodyguard
This doesn’t look good.
Actually, this looks bad.
If the young ladies continue that topic.
The eyes of the bodyguards thinking of working for another family has changed.
If this goes on.
