Minaho-neesan’s scornful laugh shows no end.
You’re indeed the daughter of Kaan house but that’s all there is to it. You have no influence at all. After all, you don’t own any of the status, assets, nor fame of the Kaan house
That’s.
You happened to be born in the Kaan house and that reason alone made you live a comfortable life as a daughter of nobility but, you’re neither fish nor fowl, you’re just a high school girl
Momoko-neechan hears Minaho-neesan.
Your family keeps you safe, supporting you, but you haven’t achieved anything yourself. All your clothes and personal belongings are bought from your parent’s money, aren’t they? The car you use to go to school, your personal bodyguard, your family pays for it, not yourself that’s.
Momoko-neechan’s flustered.
You received fortunes and protection from your Grandfather and father because they inherited the family honor from their ancestors, and that’s how you’re able to live your happy life as a daughter of nobility. But, you haven’t done anything, have you? You’re still a student. Despite that, you wear the mantle of your family and act arrogantly Minaho-neesan said. Before being a member of the Kaan house, you’re a person, aren’t you? Take a look at yourself. Wearing a thin bathing swimsuit covering your bare body
Momoko-neechan isn’t wearing anything else other than that.
That’s your true self. What you have is yourself. Everything other than your flesh is borrowed, isn’t it? Your status as the daughter of nobility, your wealthy life, you receive it all from your family, from your Grandfather, from your father, it’s not yours
Momoko-neechan looked at her body in the bathtub.
I discovered that after meeting Onii-sama
Ruriko speaks up.
Before, I was arrogant, thinking that I carry the honor of the Kouzuki house. But, Onii-sama taught me that I’m just a girl through sex
She looked at me and smiled.
That’s why I like sex. I could serve Onii-sama with my naked body and nothing else. Onii-sama loves Ruriko, not the daughter of Kouzuki house
When having sex, we’re naked.
I connect with the naked mind and body of the women.
Nothing else is involved other than ourselves.
I understand that now!
Mariko shouts.
I’m only this naked body! Everything else is just related to me but it’s not my essence! I learned about that through sex That’s something you can’t learn from normal sex. It’s only because our Kou is a bit of a strange man
Minaho-neesan said. Mariko;
Yes, I understand that! And so, I’ll never have sex with anyone but Kou for the rest of my life
She proclaims.
I don’t want to lose Kou after all
She hugs me, who’s lying down on the mattress
Agnes too!
The naked Agnes also hugs my body.
Oh, right. Kouzuki-sama left me a word to pass to Mariko-san
Minaho-neesan said.
Me? Yes. Mariko-san, if you are serious in investing then Kouzuki-sama will teach you personally
Jii-chan, personally?
Well, it won’t be just Mariko-san. You will join several people gathered in his lecture every week
eeh?
Minaho-neesan, you mean that Mariko’s joining Jii-chan’s students?
Those guys are bad.
They’re filled with nothing but the sons of the branch families of Kouzuki house and Kouzuki group.
If they find a woman there, they’ll immediately get in touch with her. Especially guys like Kouzuki Satoshi.
It’s different from them. Kouzuki-sama’s students are trained to become the future vassals of the Kouzuki house
Oh right.
That’s why it’s limited to children connected to the Kouzuki house.
Kouzuki-sama entrusted the management of the group to Shiba-san, so he seems to have a bit more time. Therefore, he thought of starting an investment management teaching classroom to those unrelated to the house
Oh, I guess that should be okay.
Kou, can I do it?
Mariko asks me.
I think you can. Aren’t you interested in it? Yes
Mariko nodded.
However, Kouzuki-sama mentioned that those who want to invest in his hands-on guidance in investment will need to pay with money they earned themselves
Minaho-neesan said.
My own? Yes. If you don’t use money that you earned then you won’t learn But I.
Mariko, the young lady of Torii electronics never earned money from partime work or anything.
With that in mind, what do you think she should do, Kou?
Minaho-neesan asked me.
Err.
My bakery.
No, that’s conducted in our school.
I can’t let Mariko, a student at a high-class school help me out there.
Besides, it doesn’t even make a profit that it could make Mariko earn from a partime job.
If that’s the case.
Nagisa seems to be recruiting another partimer in her flower shop
Minaho-neesan smiles.
Oh, they already talked about it.
Mariko, do you like flowers? Huh? Well yes, I do.
If that’s the case.
Mariko, work a side-job at a flower shop. Well, it’s not a weird shop at all. All the employees are women
Nagisa’s flower shop, if you ask me, it’s a high-class one.
You need to learn the economic system before learning about investment
Minaho-neesan said.
Knowing the labor cost and expenses of stocking, manufacturing, and sales. You need to earn some degree of profit from the cost price. Most goods have to be lost because of the lack of sales. See the live reaction of customers. Working in an adult’s store will let you learn a lot. You’ll never understand those from staring at the numbers on the screen Practicing and experiencing management at the place itself will train Mariko nicely.
That’s Jii-chan’s conclusion.
The flower shop is Mao-chan’s mother’s shop! Mariko-chan, you already met her during dinner earlier
Agnes explains.
She’s one of my women. So, Mariko’s not just going to work for her but you should be able to study there too. I’ll ask her to do so You don’t have to worry about it Kouzuki-sama will talk to Torii-sama. It’s okay. Nagisa’s shop has a high reputation. There shouldn’t be any problems
I said. Mariko;
I understand. Then, I will study in that place
She replies energetically.
I need to learn how to work for myself instead of letting my house keep me safe
Mariko shows such a clear face. Momoko-neechan looks at her in frustration.
Also, another word from Kouzuki-sama.
Minaho-neesan said.
Being born from nobility is the same as being born from a family of traditional art
Traditional art?
They inherit from their ancestors and want to pass it off to their descendants. But, that’s not an obligation
The daughters of the nobility.
Momoko-neechan, Misuzu, Ruriko, then Yoshiko-san, they all listen as Minaho-neesan narrates what Jii-chan said.
Maybe someone has to keep it safe and pass it on but it’s not a ‘duty’ nor an ‘obligation’. Those who received it to keep it safe aren’t better. They had no choice in their life but that
Oh.
Those born in the traditional arts family don’t need to succeed in the family.
They do have the right to refuse.
And those who are determined to succeed aren’t better than those who don’t.
Just like nobility.
Furthermore, just because you have resolved to succeed the house doesn’t mean that you don’t need any effort nor talent
Effort and Talent.
If a person with no talent, no effort inherits the house, it’ll only fall to ruin. Just like how it happened with the Kurama house
Kurama house, Misato-san and Arisu’s father, the current head of the family.
He was deceived by foreign investors and lost all his assets.
Therefore, true nobility choose their successors. They don’t pick the eldest son because he’s there. If there’s only one child, then you can gather vassals as support. A talented child from the side could be adopted for the cause
