Torii-san’s family isn’t in nobility?
But.
I heard that only those who are nobility among nobility are allowed to have personal bodyguards in Misuzu’s school.
Torii house isn’t a family that will try to run over everyone else
Torii-san retorts.
Right. Torii-san’s family is indeed wealthy
One of the young ladies said.
I always hear the name Torii electronics.
It’s a big company.
If I recall correctly, they have a somewhat long history as well.
And it’s an enterprise known abroad, not just in Japan.
However, we don’t call families who are wealthy a nobility Indeed, furthermore, Torii-san’s family business started at Showa, and it was post-war, wasn’t it? A fruit of the economic boom? Torii electronics was established 50 years ago, right? It’s just recent
Oh.
Jii-chan mentioned the same thing on Yukino’s Shirasaka house.
True nobility doesn’t let owners of companies that started 50 years ago join them.
It doesn’t matter if their company has piled up multiple achievements and how rich they are.
If you want Torii-san’s family accepted, you need 50 more years
One of the young ladies says while showing a malicious smile.
You shouldn’t even be allowed to bring your bodyguard in school Seriously, I detest people who don’t understand their position
Now I understand the reason why Torii-san’s the only one out of place.
And the reason why she couldn’t find herself a bodyguard in the country and hired one from outside instead.
She belongs to a family that doesn’t have the right to bring her a personal bodyguard.
Naturally, no bodyguard family served Torii house from generations before.
Other families won’t lend her a bodyguard either.
And bodyguards would refuse to work for them.
Other nobility will look at them coldly, after all.
i!
Torii-san, who is about to talk back in frustration, got stopped by Kanou-san’s hand.
Sure, Torii-san’s house isn’t qualified to have a personal bodyguard accompany her
Kanou-san tells the young ladies.
However, she, Torii Mariko-san, is qualified
She speaks with a serious look.
Mariko-san is Kanou Morinaga’s Granddaughter
Kanou?
Just like me
Kanou Sakurako-san and Torii Mariko-san are cousins?
Geez, you really are.
Kanou-san sighed.
You have the blood of the head of Kanou house. Kanou house sent a wife to Torii house, one with lowly family status. That is a shame in the household. But, I don’t blame you, who were born as a result what was that? Are you mocking my mother!
Torii-san bites back at Kanou-san but.
Shut up! I belong to Kanou house! By all rights, you’re not allowed to speak to me directly!
Does that kind of status still exist in the modern age of Japan?
Your father seduced a woman of Kanou house, wanting power. And you will be used as a political marriage tool soon. Because they want to raise the status of Torii house
Kanou-san speaks harshly.
Your mother was nobility, and soon you will follow, knowing that, we allowed Mariko-san to behave as a daughter of nobility. We even let you have a bodyguard
In short, they know that she’s a semi-nobility daughter.
Mariko-san isn’t a genuine noble! You should notice that already. If not, you’ll just embarrass me! You have my blood in you!
Torii-san bites her lips.
i don’t consider myself as Kanou-san’s relative! But I do! The society does! Truth is truth. You can’t bend it!
Kanou-san speaks with hate.
That’s enough for you two
Misuzu intervenes.
Torii-san, Kanou-sama speaks harshly, but she’s worried about you
Misuzu looks at Kanou-san.
If not, then the young lady of Kanou head house will not visit this mansion
Huh?
Kanou-sama’s family rivals Kouzuki house in history. No, I believe that Kanou-sama’s house was established 300 years before Kouzuki house
Kanou house is older than Kouzuki house?
Therefore, I’m highly grateful that Kanou-sama took my invitation and came to this mansion for the party. But, the daughter of Kanou house not sitting together with everyone else is.
Kanou house has a high status. They have so much history.
Therefore, she was sitting alone in one table before the start of the lecture.
Jii-chan asked Kanou-san to sit on Misuzu’s table.
He concluded that she can’t join in with the other young ladies, and so he gave her preferential treatment.
Everyone, it’s in the past. Currently, Kanou house is far from reaching Kouzuki house’s prosperity
Kanou-san said and looked at Misuzu.
However, the pride as a nobility still remains
Indeed, since Kanou house has a high status among nobility.
Torii Mariko-san, who has Kanou house’s head as her Grandfather, is accepted as a nobility daughter.
I thought of coming personally to monitor Mariko-san so she won’t put shame on Kanou house. I’m genuinely sorry for the trouble she caused in Kouzuki house
This is a gathering of young ladies who have bodyguards in Misuzu’s school.
Torii-san is invited naturally.
And then, Torii-san who came to Kouzuki house may do something impolite, and so.
Kanou-san came here, worried.
If Torii-san wasn’t here, Kanou-san would’ve refused Misuzu’s invitation.
She has no interest in a party hosted by Kouzuki house.
And Mariko-san seriously said unpleasant lines, and her bodyguard was also an idiot! I’m incredibly embarrassed that I’d like to bury myself into a hole!
Kanou-san said.
Mariko-san, apologize to everyone, and we will take our leave!
She glared at Mariko-san.
I don’t want to!
Torii-san glared back.
I mean, I didn’t do anything wrong! Mariko-san! No means no!
Torii-san said flatly.
I also have my pride as the daughter of Torii house. I will not withdraw after my parents were turned to laughingstock!
I can understand what she’s trying to say.
Torii-san’s family, Torii electronics, is a first-class enterprise in Japan now.
She probably couldn’t agree with their idea of family standing.
Besides! What Kanou house? Sure, they have pride in their past, but that was before I was born! Kanou house is nothing now! Kanou house is. Kanou-san’s father is only assigned as the honorary president or board director on a few societal organizations. He’s not a company manager, an important person in the government, nor a member of the Diet. Kanou house doesn’t bring anything new nowadays! You’re just barely living with your name as nobility from the past!
I see.
Kanou house is collapsing, only having their high social status remaining.
Even so! Kanou house isn’t just another noble family! We have history!
Kanou-san shouts.
Indeed, you do have history. If you were an ordinary noble house, then you’ll crumble down once you start sinking like Kurama-san’s family, but.
Torii-san looked at the Kurama sisters.
Kurama Misato looks down in embarrassment.
Arisu-san embraces her elder sister from behind.
But Kanou house which has a high social status won’t collapse that easy
Torii-san said. Kanou-san groaned.
That’s why other families assign members of Kanou house as honorary members since Kanou family doesn’t want to feel disgraced as a member of the nobility, showing that they still live in wealth
Torii-san grinned.
Mariko-san, are you serious about that?
