If you continue the tradition of an old technique then the times will leave you behind Yes, your skills are old fashioned

Edie takes part in the battle.

Are you mocking our family techniques? Techniques?

Anjou sisters get offended.

Besides, our skills aren’t just old. We have adapted our skills to the modern age! Modern age!

Oh, that skylab-hurricane-mixer?

That didn’t seem like an old technique.

The problem is that it’s just the two of you

Edie said.

Okay, saying it that your ways are old is a bit misleading. That wasn’t the correct expression for that. If it’s old, then Michi’s Kudou style and my Assassination cult techniques are also old

Right, Edie and Michi’s techniques also have a long history with them.

However, our skills aren’t closed like yours. We take Margo, Shou, Reika, and Kyouko’s advice and train every day, adding more to our skills And today, Kyouko-sama gave me a big pointer

Michi said.

Kyouko-san taught her that Kudou arts’ essence isn’t using Qi but techniques to ward off enemy Qi.

By interacting with teachers who have the talent and experience, we gain new insight everyday And you girls don’t have that environment. You will not grow if it’s just the two of you figure it out. Don’t you think so?

However, the Anjou sisters.

If we mix with other schools carelessly, then we will lose the soul of Anjou arts. We have inherited these techniques from our ancestors and we will pass this to the next generation! Next Generation

Edie smiled wryly.

Then you’re just showing it off

Then, Michi.

Michi, to you, what is Kudou arts?

Michi.

For me, Kudou arts is about studying and building up techniques. It’s to take lessons from my grandfather and experience the technique and aim for a higher skill. I am the embodiment of my martial arts, and so, no matter how much the shape evolves, my technique will always belong to Kudou arts. That’s right. If you’re aware, then your true nature will not change, no matter how much the shape is altered. You mustn’t be swallowed by your techniques. You use the techniques, not the other way around. Adapt, so it’s the best for you

Edie said.

I mean, with your techniques, you won’t have anything left to pass on to the next generation

Oh, Torii-san.

She can’t read the atmosphere.

I mean, your family serves Kurama house for generations, right? And that family in question is, in fact, collapsing right now. You girls are losing your job. Get it?

Her dissatisfaction with Haiji-san is directed to the Anjou sisters.

She can’t pick a fight with Misuzu and Ruriko, the young ladies of Kouzuki house.

Geez.

You girls have no other choice but to become bodyguards of other nobility or enter Kouzuki SS or similar companies. That is if you want to capitalize on your skills. But, if that happens, it’s natural that you can’t have all your family traditions and techniques as the only thing you know. Your coworkers will ask for you to use your techniques in combination with them. That’s modern martial arts. I don’t know much but seeing what you did in the party earlier, you two don’t seem the type who wants to cooperate with other people Torii-san can’t read the mood but she has great insight.

Sure, Anjou sister’s skills are superior, but their techniques are too offbeat that other people can’t understand.

Our skills can only be completed with just us. Kinuka and I will protect Misato-ojousama and Arisu-ojousama without the help of any other families. That’s our Anjou arts Anjou arts!

No, saying that in this situation is.

Misato-san and Arisu-san will be under Kuromori house’s custody from now on. If that happens, Kuromori house will be the people who are in charge of them. You won’t be able to guard Misato-san anymore

Misuzu said.

However, we’re Misato-sama and Arisu-sama’s, bodyguards! That’s how it always been since we’re born in this world! And that’s how it will be. Until our lives are exhausted. And, our children will protect Misato-sama and Arisu-sama’s children Protect!

this is hopeless.

Anjou sisters aren’t looking at the reality.

They believe this should be world that they don’t take a step outside.

This is the worst pattern

Edie?

These girls can’t think for themselves unless Michi and I beat them up black and blue Yes, if we don’t show them that their Anjou arts is broken, they will not accept it

Michi said.

They don’t want to see the truth, and so it’s useless to speak to them

Misuzu sighs.

We can stop giving them night meals and use starvation tactics?

Katsuko-nee said.

They eat food thoughtlessly, and so they’re energetic and obsess themselves in their thoughts.

If we leave them hungry for a while then they might understand the severity of the situation.

It can’t be helped. It will be a problem if someone dies of starvation inside the mansion of the Kouzuki mansion. In their case, they might swipe something from the kitchen and survive with it

Right.

These two said that they loitered around the mansion looking for food because they’re hungry.

If Katsuko-nee doesn’t provide them food, then.

They’ll go to the kitchen on their own and get food for themselves.

And it’s a problem if they do something that weird.

Maybe we have to split the two and persuade them one at a time?

I asked.

Just like Eri and Rie.

The twins also live in a closed world where it’s just the two of them.

I captured Rie while Eri’s not watching.

That was to keep the twins from relying on each other.

I wonder? I think that these two are tougher than the previous

Tsukiko tells me.

Of course, she already peeked inside the Anjou sister’s hearts.

The twins have some unrest in their hearts. Kou-sama used that to guide them to a better direction

Yeah, the twins sure were frightened inside.

They pretend to have composure by creating that combination.

Their father, the blonde-haired girl, red-haired, and perm-haired girls, their memories and thoughts, their unease that we will dispose of them.

Their fear that they might die.

Those were inside Eri and Rie.

Therefore, my strong approach went smoothly.

However.

These two take it easy

Tsukiko’s right. Anjou sisters feel okay even in this situation.

Are they unaffected by pressure or they can’t feel it?

They have no insecurities

Edie speaks her analysis.

Each to their own. I know that people are different. Michi and I say that they’re weak but they don’t feel annoyed at all. To them, they have no other identity but as Kurama house’s bodyguard They don’t even think about becoming stronger than before Yes, Misato-sama and Arisu-sama’s security is Anjou house’s responsibility, our responsibility. No matter what obstacle we face, we will fulfill our duty That’s right!

Anjou sisters declared.

Haa.

They don’t care about their strength and skill as a bodyguard.

Anyway, they’re born as Kurama house’s bodyguard.

Therefore, they keep the sisters safe.

They don’t look at anything else.

They don’t care about other people.

That was a delicious meal! Thank you! We’re grateful! Grateful!

Anjou sisters bowed their head to Katsuko-nee.

Well then, we will return to our duties. Excuse us Excuse us!

Then, the sisters returned to the room where Kurama-san’s sleeping.

No, they said that they’ll wash their face and brush their teeth on the way.

Still, the Anjou sisters live adamantly and follow their own rules even inside the Kouzuki mansion.

Okay, I give up. What do we do with them?

I think.

Let’s leave them alone for now. Those girls are harmless. They will remain quiet while their Masters are sleeping
