Yoshiko-san will retire from her status as the daughter of Kouzuki house?
And, I too will become Kuromori-sama’s slave
Huh?
Chapter 1004. Noon Sunshine Position Talk
And, I too will become Kuromori-sama’s slave
Yoshiko-san suddenly declares.
So, what will you do?
Jii-chan looked at me with a smile.
I.
Yoshiko-san, you’re mistaken. You’re too hasty. Don’t think like that
I speak strongly.
Kuromori-sama?
Yoshiko-san’s surprised.
Behind her, the Kurama sisters and Torii-san are also surprised.
You see, everyone has a different situation, you must take a look at your situation and act accordingly
I said.
What Jii-chan mentioned earlier, about belonging to the nobility; he doesn’t mean that you need to be all of it. Jii-chan’s status, by that I mean as from someone in the Kouzuki house, the noble of nobilities, and he’s the head of the clan
I look straight into Yoshiko-san’s eyes.
If one wants the other party to receive what you tell them, then look in their eyes and not away.
Kouzuki house also has a branch family, right? Yoshiko-san should know that. Like, Kouzuki Souji. Does that guy live the same way Jii-chan just talked about? Do you feel that he’s protecting the nobility? He’s not
That guy thinks of only himself.
Well, although he understands that he needs to keep the Kouzuki house safe for himself.
But, he doesn’t have that seriousness of a head like Jii-chan.
I’m not judging that he’s irresponsible. After all, he’s from a branch family, he doesn’t need to think about leading the Kouzuki house at all
If everyone has the same tension as the head of the family, then it would be awkward.
However, I am Grandfather’s daughter. The daughter of the head house
Yoshiko-san looks at me with a straight face.
Yes. But, you’re different from Misuzu and Ruriko
I speak flatly.
Someone needs to make it clear with Yoshiko-san.
Misuzu and Ruriko is raised as the daughter of the head house, the clan, and all the other nobility watch them as the successors of the Kouzuki house. Meanwhile, Yoshiko-san’s been Ruriko’s attendant, nobody knew that you were Jii-chan’s granddaughter, do they? It’s only been half a year since you’re recognized as the daughter of the head house That’s true, that’s why I am the same as Misuzu-sama and Ruriko-sama. No, you’re not the same!
I said.
Listen. Yoshiko-san, you sure are Jii-chan’s granddaughter. But, that doesn’t mean that someone thinks that Yoshiko-san will surpass Misuzu or Ruriko with a turnaround homerun and become the successor of the Kouzuki house
That’s right.
If there were, they’re only some stupidly ambitious people
I know the internal conditions of Kouzuki house nowadays.
Back then, there were fights between Misuzu faction and Ruriko faction, but.
Seeing that Misuzu and Ruriko get along, they can’t pick fights anymore.
Misuzu made public that I’m her fiance and those who push their son to her have disappeared.
As for Ruriko, her father’s suddenly died and so the faction is shut down.
Now that it has come to that, they’re in an atmosphere where they wait who will Jii-chan name as his successor.
Yes.
Yoshiko-san, the third daughter of the head house has suddenly appeared, but.
Nobody sees Yoshiko-san as a third competitor.
It’s natural. Yoshiko-san has been Ruriko’s attendant and got along ever since they were young, nobody would think that she would get rid of Ruriko and try to become a successor
They see Yoshiko-san as Ruriko’s ally or someone with a lower status.
Everyone knows that she doesn’t have the personality where she’ll name herself into the succession race voluntarily.
She’s a well-behaved docile girl.
I mean, even if Yoshiko-san does that, nobody will support it. Everyone knows that Yoshiko-san was Ruriko’s loyal servant. Even if they’re both Jii-chan’s granddaughters now, they won’t think that the servant would overthrow their lord
Yoshiko-san stares at me.
That means, you’re different from Misuzu and Ruriko. Yoshiko-san doesn’t have to think the same way as Jii-chan mentioned earlier, the way the heads of nobility think. Yoshiko-san, doing that will only cause trouble to people
Tears form in Yoshiko-san’s eyes.
All I want to be is someone who can stand equal to Misuzu-sama and Ruriko-sama I can understand that. But, that’s not what you should do. You have a different situation
Yoshiko-san can’t become like Misuzu or Ruriko.
Just like those who came from the branch families, Yoshiko-san has to take a step back from the frontline where Jii-chan and the girls are standing
I said.
That’s right. Everything Jii-chan mentioned earlier is absurd, isn’t it? The thought that they’re the ones who move Japan and so they’re allowed to break the law just a bit. If a normal person hears that, they will get angry. They know the law but they have no intention of getting arrested or put into the court.
There’s a limit for such ridiculousness.
But, if you’re in Jii-chan’s place, that’s what you say. You’re the head of a noble house after all. He’s the boss of the Kouzuki house. If you don’t have the same resolve, you can’t do anything
The ideology of Kenmochi that Michi mentioned where they can do anything as long as it’s within the confines of the law can’t fight off the world.
You need to be bold enough to say do something about the law.
That’s how much Jii-chan’s carrying.
If you’re in Jii-chan’s place, you can make such reckless remarks. If someone from the branch family says that, I’m going to beat them up I’m going to kick them out before you could
Jii-chan replied.
Yoshiko-san, you think that you have to be in the same status as Misuzu and Ruriko, you’ve been working so hard for the past five months. But, Yoshiko-san, you can’t be in the same place as them. You mustn’t. Yoshiko-san, you need to find your place My place? Yes. Can’t you become Ruriko’s big sister without becoming a servant or my slave?
Instead of standing equal, Yoshiko-san should step back.
Don’t put yourself in a hard situation. Yoshiko-san, you can pick a life where you’re comfortable But, still. Yoshiko-san, it’s easiest for you when you stand behind Ruriko, isn’t it?
Not in front, not on the side, but behind Ruriko.
That’s true Then, become her big sister. Not a servant. I think that you’re better as a big sister with that sense of distance
I speak frantically.
Instead of forcing yourself to stand equal with Misuzu and Ruriko, I think that it’s easier for you to explore the solution of a sister relationship. It’s fun, and you can become happier with that Kuromori-sama
Then.
what about Kuromori-sama, what place are you talking from?
Torii-san asks.
What kind of status do you speak from?
My place?
I’m a man from behind the scenes. Kuromori house is that kind of family
I replied.
Torii-san, you mentioned your surprise with how I dealt with Kenmochi and his group, where I did an illegal act without hesitation, but you see.
That was.
That’s because Torii-san doesn’t completely understand the true nature of things I don’t?
Torii-san looks at me curiously.
I’m a man from the underside. If Jii-chan says that he entrusts me with Kenmochi’s treatment, then he’s saying that he doesn’t care if I do anything illegal, we need to deal with the problem swiftly and remove it
I stare at Torii-san.
Isn’t it obvious? If Jii-chan wanted to deal with them normally, he wouldn’t ask me. A lawyer from the Kouzuki house or Yazawa-san from Kouzuki SS can deal with them
