Then Michi, she’s Misuzu’s bodyguard and she goes to the same school as the young ladies.

They’re all people who make contact with the nobility.

Oh, I don’t know how you’ll place that girl in here so I had her leave

Jii-chan’s talking about Haiji, I guess?

Haiji was Torii-san’s bodyguard, she’s attending the same school.

However, it’s not decided what she wants to do henceforward.

Currently, I think that she should stay with the younger girls

Jii-chan’s right.

It’s better if Haiji gets along with the younger girls sooner.

However.

Why are Eri and Rie here?

The twins have nothing to do with the young ladies or their school, right?

Because I find it interesting

Jii-chan smiles.

Well, I just thought that we should let these girls, who grew up in a poor environment, listen to our conversation. That’s why I had them stay

Let Rie and Eri watch our talk?

Then, I’m going now Leave Luna to us Nii-san, see you later

Nagisa, Edie, and Luna left the room.

Then, I will head to a separate room

Shou-neechan saluted and left the room.

Let’s reconfirm.

The people in this room are;

Jii-chan, Eri and Rie on the front.

The right side has the Kurama sisters.

On left is Ruriko and Yoshiko-san.

Then, on my side is Misuzu, Torii-san, and Michi.

Oh, sit down, we can’t talk if you stay there

Jii-chan said, then we sit down on the open seats.

The way you dealt with them was admirable

Jii-chan says while laughing but.

That’s not true. More than half of it is Shou-neechan’s feat

Shou-neechan taught me to expose Kenmochi’s plans.

No, all she did was provide information. You’re the one who used it and dealt with them That’s right, Onii-san, that was cool! The grim old men were so afraid of you! That’s right! Onii-san, it was cool! It made me shiver that I got wet Me too, Onii-san

Err.

Is it really okay to let the twins stay?

Oh, Torii Mariko-kun, what’s wrong? You seem down

Jii-chan called Torii-san.

Answer me honestly. What did you think of his actions?

Torii-san.

I’m surprised. And I’m scared

Scared?

Kuromori-sama has no hesitation when it comes to violating the law Can’t be helped I don’t think that it really matters with those creepy men

Rie and Eri said.

So are you saying that he’s wrong in the way he dealt with them? No, I think that Kuromori-sama’s judgment is the right one. Also, if the Kuromori house has such power, then it’s no mistake to use that power to the fullest when they can just change the minds of people like them Then, what do you fear?

Jii-chan asks.

I’m scared of Kuromori-sama because he uses it calmly just because he has it

She’s scared of me?

That’s not true, right, Rie-chan? We’re happy to have such a reliable Onii-san That’s right. It’s great to know that he’s strong, he’s someone we’re serving for the rest of our lives after all

The twins said.

I’m scared. Kuromori-sama shows no hesitation in altering one’s fate

Yeah, Kenmochi Yuugo’s going to commit social suicide because of me.

The lawyer, former police officer, and internet journalist will not have a good end either.

Doing a mock cavalry battle in the Shibuya streets while naked will bear some harsh punishments from the society.

I see. I don’t hesitate to change other people’s fate too

Jii-chan said.

I changed so many fates of people so far. That’s what it means to do business. For better or worse, you’ll intervene with other people’s fate. Not just with the companies I manage, but also the subcontract and affiliated companies, and the moving companies that deliver my products. Even retail shops, if I make a wrong judgment, then it will cause serious impacts. That includes rival companies. Many companies fall to ruin as consequences of my company’s achievements. However, I can’t do business if I think of them. Someone’s fate will inevitably change each time I approve of something Promotion, demotion, or even unemployment, or maybe another company hires them, it’s huge turning points in human lives.

Someone’s life will change each time Jii-chan gives instructions.

Besides, my life changes because of other people too. He changed some of my recent habits. Half a year ago, I couldn’t imagine having such cute girls around an old man like me.

Jii-chan looked at Rie and Eri.

Please wait. What Kouzuki-sama is talking about is a common opinion. What I fear is that Kuromori-sama changes other people’s fate, even if it means committing crimes

Torii-san said.

What is a crime?

Jii-chan smiles.

Earlier, when the men had their phone connection cut off, their company communication line cut down, and all the computerelated service rendered useless were all just coincidences. It just happened that their misfortunes came at the same time

Their blog and SNS accounts deleted.

Their company’s power cut off.

It’s a coincidence. This kind of phenomenon isn’t someone’s intention. Therefore, this will not be regarded as a crime, and no police will investigate Isn’t it all the power that Kouzuki house have? But still, making it real is a crime. It’s an illegal act!

Torii-san shouts.

No. It’s no illegal act. If the police don’t catch you, then it’s no crime, is it?

Jii-chan said.

That also applies to the mysterious power of the Takakura girls. The law doesn’t acknowledge the existence of their mind powers. Therefore, they can use their power, and nobody can punish them for doing such acts! That includes killing people. Where is the lethal weapon? Who can establish proof of the crime? That’s just sophistry! If you harm someone, it’s a crime! No matter what reason you have! Wrong

Jii-chan speaks clearly.

Torii Mariko-kun, you seem to be misunderstanding something. What he’s done is not an illegal act in Japan’s penal code. All he did is an act that contradicts your sense of justice

Torii-san’s sense of justice?

Or maybe, it’s your ethics, moral values

Jii-chan said. Torii-san listens with an earnest look.

Recently, the company compliance in Japan is getting troublesome. They no longer simply follow the law but they also focus too much on business ethics and morals. If any problem happens, even if it’s not legally a problem, their moral obligation forces them to go all out with compensation That’s inevitable. Since the customers buy the products.

Torii-san said.

Yes, that’s good in the surface world. You need to do anything to make sure that you don’t harm the trust of your customers, and in the internet age, a single mistake becomes public immediately. You need to be careful to follow the law, corporate ethics, and morals for 120% or your company will not stay

Jii-chan said.

However, can you seek the same compliance on the other side? No, for the people of the surface, making contact with the people on the other side is a violation of compliance but, they will still come no matter how much you refuse them. Then, most of the time, the police are neutral with civil affairs, and they’re late all the time. Putting the police aside, government officials are no different And so, it was Kuromori-sama?

Torii-san asks.

Yes. He immediately saw after meeting that Kenmochi man that it’s useless to talk to him and so he cut him off. You fear that he has no hesitation but I see it as reliable. The result of hesitation even though he saw through everything means that he will involve the other people around and will cause misfortune to many people. We need that instant decision of his Jii-chan looked at Misuzu, Ruriko, and Yoshiko-san. So it was a test on how I would face Kenmochi?

I asked. Jii-chan.
