Misuzu tells Kanou-san.
O-Okay
Kanou-san stands up.
Someone, bring in new glasses
Misuzu said. Then the maid group from Kouzuki SS hands the three a new glass.
If possible, it should be Champagne, but well, we’re still in high school Indeed, let’s toast with juice for now
Misuzu asks the maid to pour juice on their glasses.
Grandfather is still watching after all If I make a mistake in Kouzuki-sama’s house, I’m sure that he will talk about it to Grandfather
Misuzu and Kaan-san smiled at each other.
How about the three of us become sworn sisters?
Kaan-san said.
i.
Kanou-san is the only one nervous.
Ufufu, I understand, Kanou-sama
Kaan-san laughed.
Kanou-sama’s always looking so aloof. Yet, I know that you’re kind i.
Kanou-san’s surprised.
But, uhm, I’m two years younger than you two
Kanou Sakurako-san is a first-year high school.
Misuzu and Kaan Momoko-san are in their second year of high school.
That’s right. And so you’re our little sister, and the eldest sister is. Kaan-sama
Misuzu said.
I think Kaan-sama can shoulder the responsibility Really? Then allow me to use the privilege, let us hold up our glasses
Kaan-san gives instruction as the eldest sister immediately.
Kanou-sama, it will be easier if you become our little sister
Misuzu smiled.
It would be great to extend the relationship not just to you, but to your family as well
Currently, Kanou house has nothing but their family status.
Even so, she belongs to the big three nobility, so she rivals the two other houses.
Actually, before the party started today.
Kanou-san was the only one sitting down on another table, alone.
The daughter of Kouzuki house cannot mingle with the young ladies of the Kouzuki group.
Even so, Kanou house lost their influence, so she can’t create her own group.
She’s not as wealthy as Kouzuki and Kaan house, and yet, she’s isolated since her family rivals theirs.
However, if the three young ladies become sworn sisters.
Then the young ladies from Kouzuki group, and perhaps, those from Kaan group, will become intimate with Kanou-san.
She’s a sworn sister of the leader of their group.
She’s the little sister because of age, but it can’t be helped.
Kanou house can keep their honor as one of the big three.
Indeed, I wanted a cute girl like you as my sworn sister. I sincerely think so
Kaan-san told Kanou-san.
I also want to become close with Kanou-sama
Misuzu said.
What about you? Do you not want it?
Kaan-san asked. Kanou-san.
I understand, then allow me to be your sworn little sister
Misuzu then speaks to the young ladies in the courtyard.
Can everyone give a toast to this? Well, it’s an honor to be in this scene To think that the big three nobilities have become sworn sisters! It’s wonderful!
The girls hold their glass.
The maid’s hand over a new one for those who aren’t holding any.
They all raise the glass with juice to the sky.
This is a rare occasion, so let’s have the bodyguards toast to it as well!
Kaan-san called out.
Darling too
Edie hands me a glass of juice.
I looked and found Michi, Rei-chan, and Shou-neechan holding up their glass as well.
You too, it’s a celebration, hold up your glasses
Anjou Mitama and Kinuka, the sisters, discouraged as their Masters left them.
Edie also hands over a glass to Adelheid-san, who was dismissed by her Master.
Her former employer, Torii Mariko-san.
Shie-san, Kanou-san’s bodyguard, also holds a glass.
Well then
Kaan-san addresses everyone.
Kaan house, Kouzuki house, Kanou house, we may be born from different families but will promise to get along! Loving each other as sisters. And I swear that to my sworn sisters’ name! I swear i swear!
The three young ladies raise their glasses.
Well then, cheers! Cheers!
Everyone drinks their juice.
The gentle atmosphere dominates the courtyard.
Then, you two will now call me Momoko-oneesama! As for me, do call me Misuzu, and Misuzu-oneesama Then, please call me Sakurako
Kanou-san blushed as she says that.
Yeah. Misuzu, Sakurako, if you have problems, then you can come to me anytime! Okay?
That elder-sister disposition with a brilliant self-confidence.
Kaan Momoko-san will surely become an influential person on the surface.
Misuzu’s a bit shy when it comes to girls of her generation.
Becoming Kaan-san’s sworn sister would be helpful for her.
Oh, by the way. I consider Mariko as my little sister already, so Misuzu, Sakurako, do get along with Mariko. Oh right, Sakurako is distant relatives with Mariko
Kaan-san pointed at Torii-san and said.
My best regards. Torii-san Misuzu smiled. Regards, Mariko-san
Kanou-san has some mixed feelings with Torii-san.
Yes, my best regards as well
Torii-san bows lightly.
Uhm, Kaan-sama
Ruriko, who’s standing by from the side, talks to Kaan-san.
Hmm, yes? If you treat Torii-san as your sister, then I also am Misuzu-oneesama’s little sister
To be precise, Ruriko and Misuzu are cousins.
Though they’re sisters as my woman.
Well, Kaan-san will accept them as sisters because they are cousins.
Indeed. Then, I will dote on Ruriko-sama as my little sister as well!
Kaan-san smiled.
Yes, thank you. Then please call me Ruriko from here on
Ruriko also joins in the sworn sisters.
Yoshiko-sama, what about you?
Kaan-san asks Yoshiko-san, who’s on the table with the young ladies of the Kouzuki group.
It would be discourteous for me to do so
Yoshiko-san replied with a smile.
Yoshiko-san was only recognized as Jii-chan’s granddaughter during last May.
She’s in that delicate state as she’s an illegitimate child of Jii-chan’s late first-son.
I see. Well, I won’t force you. Besides, if Yoshiko-sama were to join in, you will become the Onee-sama as you’re the oldest of the group
Yoshiko-san’s already in her third year, so that will be the conclusion.
Momoko-oneesama, you forgot Onii-sama
Ruriko smiled and points at me.
He’s my dearest brother
Hearing that, Misuzu.
And my husband!
She speaks loudly.
And the harmonious atmosphere loosens up.
Indeed. It can’t be helped. If Kouzuki-sama already accepted him.
Kaan-san smiled at me.
I will also look after you! Err, was it Kuromori Kou? yeah
I replied.
Then, it’s Kou-chan
Kou-chan?
If I recall, you’re younger than Misuzu and me, right?
Well, she knows that beforehand.
Then, I will call you Kou-chan. Sakurako, you’re at the same age, call him whatever you want Ah, yes
Torii-san shows her confusion to me.
Kanou-san seems to be bad at dealing with those that aren’t nobility.
Then, Mariko, you go sing something for everyone
Kaan-san ordered Torii-san like she owns the place.
Huh, uhm, Momoko-oneesama? Mariko, I think you should try to score some points with the people in here
Her mother is from nobility, but Torii house itself isn’t.
Torii-san perhaps will marry a man from nobility, so she’s accepted as one for now.
I think that some young ladies will think that Torii-san becoming a sworn sister of the big three as something unamusing.
You know, she’s quite fascinating. She thinks differently than us. Go on, do it, Mariko
Torii-san.
It can’t be helped. Haiji, come sing with me!
Torii-san calls Adelheid-san.
Uhm, I’m no longer working for Mariko-ojousama though Don’t you also want to score some points with the people here?
