Katsuko-nee said.
Yes, please do, Katsuko-kun Yes. Then, let’s go
Katsuko-nee smiles and leads Mizushima Karen-san out of the room.
The people remaining in the room are;
Jii-chan, and his two bodyguards.
Kurama sisters.
Minaho-neesan and me.
Leave the room, you two
Jii-chan told Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san.
Kyouko-kun already left. There’s no danger in this room Certainly, excuse us
Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san left the room.
As soon as the door closed.
So, what do you think?
Jii-chan asks me suddenly.
I might’ve done something futile
About what?
About nobility. I want to protect nobility, but I just decreased the number by one. Furthermore, most families are going the path of their own destruction
Jii-chan sighs.
You saw Mizushima’s naive attitude, didn’t you? Thinking that I will never crush down nobility, so he’s under the impression that no matter how much of a scandal he makes, I will come to rescue his house
Yeah, he was underestimating Jii-chan.
He doesn’t understand how much of a trouble it caused when he sent over a spy from Kansai Yakuza to the main house of Kouzuki clan.
Also, he’s not even thinking of what the other families of the young ladies who came to this party would do.
Therefore, I had no choice but to demote her as a vassal instead of keeping her under Kouzuki house’s custody
Jii-chan speaks bitterly.
From the conversation earlier, Mizushima Karen is still decent. That kid can still fix herself. However, if she returns to her father and grandfather, then she will grow spoiled and become a troublesome adult
No, that girl.
I think that Karen-san is a decent girl.
She’s courteous, has a strong sense of responsibility, and is smart.
Just because the parents were a disaster, the children don’t necessarily become the same.
She needs to separate from Mizushima house and serve Misuzu until she’s 20, trained with the education on nobility. Unless I do that, Mizushima house’s asset will remain, but they’ll no longer have the pride of nobility. That only means that their house perished
Jii-chan.
Oh, I see.
Jii-chan’s pretending to talk to me, but he’s talking to the Kurama sisters.
Kurama house is the same. He ignored our advice and fell for the funding of the foreigners, demolishing the traditional Kurama Kaku, and tried to construct a high-rise hotel, and yet, asking for help because the foreigners deceived him? It’s ridiculous i’m very sorry!
Arisu-san, the younger of the sisters, bowed her head.
I’m not talking to you. I’m having a talk with him
Jii-chan scolds Arisu-san.
i’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!
Misato-san, the elder apologizes while crying.
Mizushima house sent in some lawless people into my house, and so they lost their business group. Their daughter, who will succeed in the house, is now a servant of Kouzuki house. Other families will not show consent unless I give that much punishment. Also, it’s natural to provide such a strict attitude, so this absurdity never happens again Jii-chan said. Then, how do we punish Kurama house? Kurama house manages the Kurama Kaku group because the only one with worth is Kurama Kaku. The building and garden has history and tradition has its worth, and that is why the group’s other hotel and traditional restaurants were able to hold their high dignity
Worth and dignity.
And now that precious Kurama Kaku is lost, what remains in the group are ordinary hotels and restaurants you can find anywhere. The high-rise hotel building can complete itself in the former site of Kurama Kaku, but still, it doesn’t have the quality that the old Kurama Kaku had
They can construct a high-grade hotel, but the old one is something they can never take back.
To be nobility means you are to inherit property from your ancestors and to protect it for the next generation. In Kurama house’s case, that Kurama Kaku is the one they inherit and must defend. Losing that means Kurama house no longer belongs to nobility. They are no longer a clan I must help
Jii-chan said. The Kurama sisters trembled.
Truly unfortunate, to think that one of the traditional nobility would die out like that
Jii-chan will revive Mizushima house in Karen-san’s generation, and.
The business group will be split and sold off, but, Karen-san is promised that she will inherit the mansion and properties of Mizushima house from the ancestral era.
However, for Kurama house’s case.
Without anything to inherit, they’re declared as dead.
kouzuki-sama! that’s too much! aah! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! aa!
The siblings lost control.
You’re too noisy, I’m not talking to you!
Jii-chan’s behavior is freezing.
uu
The little sister trembled in fear.
However, the elder speaks while crying.
i’m sorry. we do know that we can no longer save kurama house, but.
Kurama Misato speaks while shedding tears.
We may be paying for our mistakes, but, i cannot let the people working in Kurama Kaku group be left out in the cold Onee-sama? it may be rude to ask but, please, could you save the Kurama Kaku group? If things go on, then they will reach bankruptcy. If that happens, perhaps, the workers will not receive any retirement money
Hearing Kurama Misato-san say that, Jii-chan.
Shouldn’t it be your father who asks that?
That’s right.
It shouldn’t be the high-school student daughter but the head of Kurama house.
The man managing the Kurama Kaku group is the father.
however, uhm, Kouzuki-sama is no longer answering father’s calls Obviously. Why would I go out of my way to save a man who I know will only ask for a loan of money? therefore, Onee-sama and I are acting on behalf of father
Arisu-san desperately pleads.
You can’t fill in for your father, can you? Using his daughters for persuasion by tears
Yeah, I think that’s the case.
If you were Kurama, what would you do?
Jii-chan asks me.
Well, Jii-chan’s the only man who can lend me money, so I’d try all that I can to get a chance to meet you, but it’s meaningless if it’s not personal. I think that using his daughters in Misuzu’s party is just plain wrong. Also. What? Just say it
I.
Kurama house never talked about severing himself at all Severing himself?
Arisu-san asks.
That’s right. Don’t just say If this goes on, everyone will be in trouble, please help us, but instead, show that it was worth saving and make suggestions Worth? That’s right. Kurama-san, and also your father should know that Jii-chan has enough fortunes and he’s acquainted with various influential people, do you think that he would just save you for the sake of it?
That’s the reason why they only say, Please help us.
But you know, Jii-chan’s Kouzuki group is a money-making business, so why would they go out of their way to make such a deal? However, Kurama Kaku group is.
Arisu-san tries to argue, but.
The original Kurama Kaku is already broken, but you still manage other hotels and restaurants, don’t you? As mentioned earlier, Kurama Kaku is gone, and so the other facilities lost its worth
Arisu-san looks at me angrily.
So you say. Jii-chan sees it as an opportunity to strike a bargain.
I looked at her in the eye and said.
Bargain?
Misato-san and Arisu-san are surprised.
Geez, they’re really pampered.
They couldn’t even think of that.
Kurama house has no money, so they have no choice but to tell them. Jii-chan says that they’re worth nothing, but still, a few hotels and restaurants should have fair value. It’s never zero. Kouzuki group manages hotels and restaurants, don’t they?
I asked Jii-chan.
Naturally, it’s in our business Then, if they say please buy our hotel and restaurants, instead of please lend us money, would Jii-chan talk to Kurama-san? No. I’ll let someone else do the talk. But I will not ignore it. If it’s the best traditional hotel in the area, then it is tied to a get rich quick scheme
