Kenmochi gets offended.
But I’m Kenmochi Yuugo! What about my right of publicity? It would be hard to claim your right of publicity if the video isn’t used to make a profit. If one’s a celebrity whose face is known to many people, security cameras can capture their face when they visit a business facility, and if you make a claim that I have my right of publicity, and so don’t show me on security cameras, then it would be difficult Is she telling the truth?
Kenmochi asks Moori, the lawyer.
Yes, I don’t think that we can make a claim in this case
The lawyer accepts Michi’s claim.
If that’s the case, why is Yoshikawa saying that it’s a problem?
Kenmochi looks at the former policeman.
That’s because police often use it
Nagisa smiles.
You talk about something that isn’t an illegal act and says that it’s a problem to shake the other party, don’t you? Ugh
Yoshikawa is speechless.
Earlier, he said, It’s unfair. That means the fact that your phones can’t contact outside, and we’re recording videos of you is unfair, but it’s not illegal Oh, he said that on purpose to scare us off!
Torii-san is impressed.
I see. He purposely used hidden cameras and wiretap to make it sound like it’s an illegal act That’s right. You should remember that. It’s a method often used by government people. This is bad, or Oh, you see. or Oh man, but they won’t speak of certainty. They’re only creating a mood to coerce you That’s informative!
Nagisa said. Torii-san nods.
Nono, wait, I just noticed it now, cameras might be okay but what about wiretap? Isn’t that illegal?
Kenmochi asks again.
Oh? Are you sure you want to ask that?
Nagisa laughs.
Aren’t your lawyer and your newsman using a voice recorder in their pocket, recording the whole conversation? Ngangu!
Bingo.
It’s common sense in the modern era. When having a serious talk with someone, you need to have a record of the conversation. Even phones can be used as a sound recorder You’re also recording and yet you complain about our methods? Isn’t that what we call unfair?
Nagisa said.
but! i’m a guest! I’m Kouzuki house’s guest! what do you think of the guests of the Kouzuki house! this is rude!
Kenmochi shouts.
Oh, were you a guest? What did you say? If that’s the case, act like one. We only see you as dangerous people who came here to find fault with the Kouzuki house. Therefore, Kouzuki house had no choice but to be cautious
That’s right, they act so impolitely, they’re no guests.
It’s outrageous to hear them say that we’re the rude ones here.
People from Kouzuki SS are watching the state of affairs in this room. Isn’t that obvious? It’s highly likely that you’ll try to harm us. That’s just the minimum defense plan, and you have no right to start complaining about us
Nagisa said. Kenmochi;
Bitch, do you not know that I’m Kenmochi Yuugo? Yes, didn’t you name yourself earlier? I’m going to make you regret looking down on me, remember it I’ll forget you. I don’t even want to recall your name You bastard! I’m going to beat you up
At that moment, Moori stopped Kenmochi.
Kenmochi-san, don’t say anything further! What? This woman’s. It’s not just the bodyguards who watch the video! Huh? I’m sure that some people in charge of Kouzuki house’s judiciary affairs are watching too
Kenmochi suddenly realized.
Hmm, that was some heat up but it’s great that you lack in vocabulary. If you spoke something else, they can use that as for legal action against threat
Nagisa smiles regretfully.
Huh? It is as he says. Or should I say that what you said earlier is already out, if we sue you, it’ll become dangerous for you? Uhm, think about the story of Kenmochi-san, a business manager, a man with social status, and what he does to a weak woman
The lawyer said.
What are you talking about? This woman is from the Kouzuki house, right? If that’s the case, her social status should be higher She named herself as Katagai Nagisa-san
Nagisa smiles.
Yes, I’m close to Shige-chan but I’m just an ordinary mother working an ordinary job. I’m not someone from the Kouzuki house. Compared to you, I’m quite socially weak, am I not?
Kenmochi’s family is an enterprise, and he has various companies managed in his hands.
I wonder what will happen if an ordinary mother receives threats such as I’m going to make sure you regret it, I’m going to crush you?
Nagisa wins the first round.
Dammit Kenmochi-san, I’ll do the negotiations, could you please quiet down for a bit?
Moori, the lawyer tells Kenmochi.
Yeah, I’m leaving this to you!
Then, he looked at Kobayakaaw, the news reporter.
Hey, write everything that happened just now Ah, yes
Kobayakawa prepares to open his laptop.
For now, he’s going to write everything that happened and the whole duration of the negotiations.
It’s all to upload his news on his website.
Well, our conversation’s been derailed, I apologize
Moori apologizes first.
Not at all. That was fun. So, shall we get down to business?
Nagisa carries on.
I would like to talk with someone from the Kouzuki house, not you And on those grounds, Shige-chan requested me to deal with you people. Besides, Misuzu-chan is still in high school, even if she talks, her words won’t be the decision of the Kouzuki house
Nagisa said.
Uhm, if there are cameras, that means that sir Kouzuki is also watching, isn’t he?
Morii investigates.
That’s our of my knowledge
Nagisa smiles.
Then, I will speak with the assumption that sir Kozuki is watching That’s your choice, but I don’t know if he’s watching or not. Please understand that
No, it’s Jii-chan, I’m sure that he’s watching.
But, let’s play dumb here.
Also, if there are any problems later, Jii-chan can just retort that he doesn’t know anything about it.
I’ll get straight to the point, we would like to retrieve Kurama Misato-sama and Arisu-sama Oh, but why?
Nagisa smiles.
We know that they’re imprisoned in this mansion Really? Where did you hear that from? We heard it from the Kurama house Then, did the Kurama house ask you people to take them? Yes, that’s right
The lawyer said.
I see. Then, show us the authorization letter Authorization letter? I mean, you people aren’t from the Kurama house, are you? Kenmochi Yuugo-san is Kurama Misato-san’s fiance So what? He’s her fiance, and so, he has rights to take her But, it’s just engagement, isn’t it? They’re not married yet However, engaged couples have a special relationship You can’t use that. If you’re going to use that, then come back with an authorization letter from the Kurama house
Nagisa retorts.
Then.
That’s a cheap answer
Moori smiles.
I’m a lawyer, do you think that you can make such cheap answers against me?
what?
Chapter 998. Noon Sunshine The darkness of the Internet.
First, chairman Kurama said that My daughter hasn’t come back home after some incident in the Kouzuki house. We have that conversation recorded
Moori takes out a rectangular recorder.
Recently, machines like this become smaller and smaller. I always carry around several recorders with me. It’s always a problem when someone’s sitting in trial and says I didn’t say it, and so I’m prepared to record any remarks I can use for evidence
That means, other than that one, he has other recorders to record our conversation in this drawing-room.
