We have lots of young ladies and their bodyguards in the garden party tonight.

We also have some Kansai Yakuza spies.

Seki-san came here to talk between servants. And so, we must pretend we didn’t hear what happened

Shou-neechan is older than Shie-san if we’re talking about their bodyguard duty.

It wouldn’t seem odd if Shie-san bows her head to Shou-neechan during their conversation.

I mean, Shou-neechan never takes off that smile of hers.

Looking from a distance, Shou-neechan, the site chief of Kouzuki SS, answered some questions Shie-san had, and so she bowed her head after.

Shou-neechan talked about Kouzuki SS, giving out training for the bodyguards earlier.

They’ll assume that Shie-san wants to join in the training, or she wants to practice with Rei-chan, along those lines.

However, if the young lady of Kanou house, Sakurako-san.

If Sakurako-san bows her head to Shou-neechan, a servant of Kouzuki house, then it will seem out of place. They will pay their attention.

And they’ll assume that something happened.

It is as you say. I’m sorry

Kanou-san said expressionlessly.

That conversation was between Seki-san and her. We didn’t hear anything Me neither

Edie smiled.

Did you hear anything?

Luna and I shook our heads.

Adelheid-san as well.

Edie looked at Anjou Mitama-san and Kinuka-san.

We didn’t hear anything!

Kurama Arisu says, representing her elder sister, who looks down.

Now then, let’s return to the topic

Shou-neechan speaks with a bright tone.

It would be a problem if Adelheid-san were to have you as an opponent

Right.

Adelheid-san wants to show off her real strength.

Shie-san suddenly presented herself as an opponent.

Why? Can’t I fight her off as my apology for earlier?

Shie-san suggests a penalty for herself.

Geez. Look.

Shou-neechan sighed.

If you, from Kanou house, and the bodyguard of Torii house were to fight in the mansion of Kouzuki house, it will become a big deal!

Edie laughed.

Do you not get it?

Adelheid-san.

But Torii Mariko-sama already dismissed me? That’s only convenient for you! The question of who brought you to this mansion still remains! Kanou house is on a higher status, you know? If the bodyguard of that family suddenly picked a fight in the courtyard, then the blame goes to Torii house

I see. She’s right.

You shouldn’t think of your own convenience, think of other people’s standpoint as well. You’re such troublesome girls!

Edie admonished Adelheid-san and Shie-san.

Besides, you, who’s older, and have a proper master, has a more significant reason why you don’t want to lose compared to her. It’s not going to be a fair fight

Shie-san will join the fight with the responsibility of a Kanou house bodyguard in her shoulders.

Adelheid-san, who Torii-san dismissed, has nothing to lose.

Besides, Adelheid-san is still 13.

Shie-san is at 17.

Age difference has nothing to do with this. I will win anyway

Adelheid-san said, but.

The young ladies watching do mind

Yeah. They’ll say, It’s natural that the older one will win against the small, or She cannot lose as she holds the honor of nobility.

And all the other thoughts.

Therefore, you cannot fight someone older than you and shoulder heavy responsibility!

Edie said.

But is there anyone like that?

Nii-san?

Luna clings on my legs.

Oh right, Luna’s 12.

There’s nobody

Edie waves her hand.

If I recall, you’re 13 years old, right?

Edie points at Anjou Kinuka-san, Kurama house’s bodyguard.

me?

Kinuka-san’s surprised.

Hey, what do you think after hearing our conversation?

Ruriko, who’s next to Misuzu, asks Kinuka-san.

i, no, I didn’t hear anything

Kinuka-san replies, but.

Earlier, you two tried to challenge Kyouko-san for your Master’s honor, right?

Ruriko asks.

That’s right. We showed our spirit to serve Kurama house! Right? Big Sis!

Mitama-san nods as her sister called her.

And that’s the reason we attacked Kyouko Messer from the sky Unfortunately, they avoided it

Err.

It was all to show that Kurama house.Misato-ojousama and Arisu-ojousama have us sisters with them! We will never go easy on those who are impolite to our young ladies!

The sisters declared.

So that’s how far you’re willing to go to stay with Kurama-san

Ruriko said.

But, if things stay as they are, Kurama-sama’s house will collapse Our loyalty remains even if the family is no more! No more!

Anjou sisters show no hesitation.

But, you would instead continue working than have the house collapse, right?

Ruriko smiles.

Look at your masters

Well, Anjou sisters say that they’ll protect Kurama house even if they collapse, but.

Kurama sisters prefer that their house doesn’t collapse at all.

Earlier, this girl got told that she can’t work in Kouzuki SS if she wants to stay with her master

Edie pointed at Shie-san and said.

But you girls, have you ever thought of helping out your Master’s house than protect them by selling off your skill?

Selling off their skill?

I have no idea how much Kurama-san’s family is in debt, but.

Ruriko said.

If you were to sell yourselves to another family, then shouldn’t the funds help them a bit?

Edie continues.

However, if that happens, we. We will get separated from Ojou-sama

Anjou sisters show troubled faces.

It’s not like you’ll serve other houses forever. You can take it for a limited time Besides, shouldn’t it be only one of you two serving Kurama-san instead?

Just one of the sisters working away?

If it’s in our company, we have contracts that have that terms. However, you must show that you have the skill

Shou-neechan said.

Do you mind, Misuzu-sama? Not at all. Grandfather entrusted hiding the young bodyguards for Kouzuki SS to Seki-san

Misuzu shows approval.

As that girl’s Master said, the young ladies in here think that you challenged Kyouko Messer because you want to abandon Kurama house and work for another house

Torii-san thought that way. I’m sure others had the same thought.

That’s.we. Others don’t care what your true intentions are. You can show your real motive, but they’ll only guess the truth

Everyone thinks that way, and so they accept it as that.

In short, you girls are in the same state as this girl who just got dismissed

Shou-neechan points at Adelheid-san.

Furthermore, the younger sister is the same age as her. Both look young and have no house to carry in their shoulder

Shou-neechan knows all of the bodyguards that came in today.

She doesn’t see Torii house as nobility but an upstart.

Kurama house, which is about to collapse, has no honor to protect.

Furthermore, everyone knows how Kinuka-san fought earlier, and so I think that it’s a great match if we have you two fight as a sideshow

If it’s a battle between two cute 13-year-old girls.

wait. Don’t make conclusions without asking us first

Kurama Arisu-san is angry.

Kinuka is my bodyguard. Isn’t that right, Onee-sama? i.

Kurama Misato is still all shook up.

Unfortunately, we couldn’t discuss it with Misato-san and Arisu-san

Ruriko said.

You two don’t have anything anymore

Minaho-neesan said that.

Misato-san’s going to become a prostitute.

And I’ll train Arisu-san along with her.

It’s already decided.

That means, Kurama house and Jii-chan already talked it out with Minaho-neesan.

Kurama house can no longer guarantee the pay nor the necessities for these two bodyguards We don’t need those! We are serving our young lady by our own volition
