There are eight daughters.
Nakayama, Sugai, Kadokawa and Gangi couple has one.
Yaku Shimaru and Uwasaki has two.
Hiromi doesn’t have a daughter, or so Tendou Otome claims,
Oh right. There’s also Kikuchi Dorazaemon, that’s his alias. Also, Shigeyo’s father, Ogawa Norio, and Sonoko’s father, Tokudaiji Enrike
That’s eight.
Their numbers match the girls, but,
If that’s the case, where is the lie?
If Tsukiko goes deeper into Tendou Otome’s mind, then we can find out right away, but,
If she forced her way in, I worry that Tendou Otome’s mind will become irrecoverable.
The problem is how do we make Tendou Otome imagine it so Tsukiko can read through the surface thoughts, but.
Tsukiko’s making a sour face.
It looks like Tendou Otome’s still hiding something deep inside her.
Kinoshita-san, what do you think?
Minaho-neesan looks at Kinoshita-san.
According to the reports, the people hiding in the karaoke box are thirteen adults and eight daughters, but I’m not lying! I already said that I’m prepared for this!
Tendou Otome said, but,
She’s still hiding something big.
I think those two were people who joined in after Tendou-san infiltrated Mizushima house
Minaho-neesan?
I’m sure that they’re the journalists. People who’ll write anything for money
Oh, Tendou Sadao came here to create scandals to defame Kouzuki house, and so,
Also, the Journalists are ready to spread information to the internet if anything happens
If our invasion on Tendou Sadao’s hideout goes poorly, then,
They’ll start writing, Kouzuki house’s staff suddenly attacked us, to every site they know.
Or maybe, they have some hoax story ready to publish.
They’re only waiting for our actions to send them off.
Anyway, we need to transport all 20+ of them
Minaho-neesan said.
It’s regrettable that the karaoke box has some pedestrians
I’m also troubled.
We need to take out Tendou Sadao, and the troublesome Yakuza along with the eight daughters without the civilians knowing what’s going on.
Furthermore, there’s also the other group that’s watching Tendou Sadao
Nei said.
Right, there’s also Irokuchou Ichiro’s group.
If Minaho-neesan hands over Yomi to Tendou Sadao, then.
Their aim would be to snatch her away from the sides.
Either way, if any alarm is raised, Kouzuki house loses
Michi said.
Once it reaches media and police, then,
The enemy will insist that Kouzuki house hurt them.
That’s the spark for the scandal.
We’ve done this before but, if you use news outlets, all you need to do is fan the flames
Nei’s right. We’ve done that to spread the scandal about Shirasaka Sousuke before.
If one material escapes and starts the scandal, it goes downward spiral.
The Yakuza can manipulate information from the Kansai headquarters.
That means, we have to deal with them without the society knowing anything
Minaho-neesan said. Edie;
Do you girls have any disguise ready?
She asks Anjou Mitama and Kinuka, who’s been silent all this time.
You finally asked! Asked! Our Anjou style arts is specialized in having the power to protect our Masters, Kurama house in any place, and in any situation! Situation! Kinuka and I have mastered several times of disguise to deceive the people around us! Us!
As usual, these two are speaking enthusiastically.
Then, what kind of disguise is that?
Edie asks.
The best ones we sister have is the Komuso! What?
komuso?
What Komuso?
Oh, that. You know about it, Edie?
I asked out of surprise.
Huh, you don’t know about Komuso, Darling? Nope, I don’t, sorry
I replied.
It’s those people who wear black Japanese clothes, hiding their heads with braided hats, then carrying a box with 明暗 written in it. Then, they blow some bamboo flute Yes! I can use the bamboo flutes! Mitama-oneesama’s good at it! I love it too!
Wait.
You mean it’s some guys who show up on historical plays? Right, they come and kill the wolf that takes the children, and Zatoichi
I knew it.
Okay, I have this bamboo flute with katana hidden inside
Kinuka-san shows a satisfied smile.
Nono, you can’t do that!
I said.
Huh? But why? If we want a disguise that doesn’t stand out, this would be the best option.
Mitama-san speaks with a serious face, but.
That only works on Edo period What are you talking about? We still have Komuso at this age! No, they probably exist, but they stand out too much Komuso’s made to not stand out!
Kinuka-san.
I told you, Komuso who brings school girls with them will stand out I told you already that Komuso is our mastery, and so nobody will notice!
Mitama-san speaks stubbornly, but,
Ah, I get it
I.
I see, your Anjou arts.
Right, these two have come from the family lineage of bodyguards.
It’s what they use to protect Kurama house from ancient times. Furthermore, without making any exchange with other martial arts, it stayed as-is from the Edo period?
They’ve improved the skills like that Skylab Hurricane Mixer, turning it to their own variety, but,
When it comes to their bodyguard duties, they still follow the old tradition.
Coming from the age where Komuso were common, and they won’t stand out when walking around wearing the same clothes.
Besides, it’s only adult males who can do Komuso disguise, right? Do Anjou arts have no disguise for women?
Bodyguard duty is mostly for males.
The female bodyguards for the young ladies of nobility started during the Meiji era when the young ladies can go to school.
And back then, the young ladies mostly have male bodyguards.
we do! We do!
Anjou sisters speak with a gloomy face.
It’s just, uhm It’s Echigojishi
Echigojishi?
Or, Kakubejishi Kakubejishi!
What Kakubejishi?
What’s that? you don’t know either, Edie?
Finally, something that Edie doesn’t know.
Wait, I’ll look it up now
Nei opens her smartphone.
Ah, there it is, it’s a street performer from Edo period. They do flute and drums together, hop, jump, handstand
what’s that?
Yes, it’s from the movie Kurama Tengu with Misora Hibari-sama! It’s with Itou Tsukasa-sama on TV
The Anjou sisters speak cheerfully.
I can blow the flute, Kinuka can do dancing, and so, we can manage to do to Kakubejishi
No, look.
What’s the difference between that and Komuso?
That’s good. Let’s go with that
Minaho-neesan? eeh?
Chapter 902. Night of Fun Human, Patience.
For now, we will use these girls’ performance to gather the attention of the pedestrians
Oh. Now I get it.
Then, we’re going to get Tendou Sadao and the others in the Karaoke box while that’s happening? That’s right. Kou
Minaho-neesan looks at the speakers.
Shou-san, prepare cars for retrieval We have two 2 ton trucks prepared. They’re disguised as moving company agents
Yeah, we can bring the truck to the karaoke box’s side and then bring them in stealthily.
Also, the aforementioned Kouzuki SS former training hall is in the neighborhood, please use that
An unused building nearby.
Thank you, Shou-san
Minaho-neesan gave her thanks.
Wait a second! A second!
Huh? What now?
Does that mean that our job is to be a spectacle? Are we not participating in the punishment of the bad guys?
What punishment?
Look, the bad guys you’re talking about are divided into two groups
Nei smiled wryly and explained.
Then, the guys hiding in the karaoke box have hostages with them, and so we have to deal with them delicately, that’s our job
