This is why Kudou-papa’s daughters don’t want to meet up with him that much.
And that’s also why they don’t talk about him to other people.
This is what he does and that’s why Michi’s mother cheated with her boss in Kouzuki SS and divorced him.
Well, it’s true that I lack skill. You know that I haven’t reached mastery of Kudou style martial arts, right? Yeah
Kudou-papa had a shotgun wedding when he was young.
That’s why he worked on the other side while he’s in the middle of training.
If I had been able to get to the point where I mastered the techniques like Michi, I might not have ended up like this. But, I. Kudou-san, that different method you use now.I believe that people should know how great that is
I said.
Stop that. I’ve done this for more than 25 years. If I was still young, then I could still change routes but at my age, any poor change is fatal. I’ll stay this way
Kudou-papa looks in front of him as he speaks.
You have to cherish your style you’ve built up for years. Any misjudgment will cause your collapse. Just like Yamaoka and Etsuko
Yamaoka-san, the security head of Kouzuki SS before.
Etsuko, the name of Michi’s mother.
A man who worked on a large company like Kouzuki SS, can’t do work on the other side. That’s expected, he’s accustomed to the methods on the surface
Both of them were dismissed from Kouzuki SS.
They were employed by the Yakuza but they got fired there too.
That’s all I know.
What’s going on with the two by the way? It seems that they are living in a tourist hotel in Kyuushuu, I don’t know much about the details
As expected, they can’t do any job related to security.
But, they are still together? After what’s happened to them, it’s probably harder to leave each other as they’re in a strange place and a lonely environment Nobu, what are you two talking about?
Kana-senpai asks.
Oh, we’re talking about my divorced wife. She cheated so she’s kicked out. Sorry but do tell Michi this; It seems that she’s doing well
I see. He wants us to tell his daughters about their mother’s state.
That’s why Kudou-papa came here as our driver.
Sorry. You’re taking care of not just Michi but also Haruka. Haruka’s match is coming next month, right?
Kudou-papa knows.
No, the truth is we’re actually borrowing Haruka-san’s title as the high-school karate champion. Margo-san and Edie are both nameless in the martial arts society
I said.
Their objective is to promote their names to the fighting world and get accustomed to professional matches before competing in the United States.
Margo-san, Edie, Kudou Haruka, and Tendou Otome, who’s now Kendou Maria will be appearing in the Japan MMA tournament.
Furthermore,
It seems that the TV documentary program and news coverage are already settled. The title is Kudou Haruka challenges MMA! Schoolgirl aims to become a professional
The plan is to use Haruka-san’s name while gathering attention from the world.
Well, it’s okay. You can use whatever. I think that it’s a good idea to make Haruka an athlete. That Shinichi must be watching after his training
Shinichi, that’s Michi’s brother. He’s working at Kouzuki SS.
Haruka-san and Tendou Otome are staying at the Kouzuki SS dojo to finish up their training.
Then, the big brother, Shinichi-san comes over to watch sometimes
As for why they’re doing a training camp;
Eri and Rie don’t like living together with Tendou Otome in our mansion.
Also, for Tendou Otome, she could use Qi skills but she skipped training in Karate.
Haruka-san squeezing it thoroughly, making her body ready for the match.
Kudou Haruka’s a Karate girl, she has an arrogant attitude and a bit dumb, but she’s serious about her training and is passionate about teaching her juniors.
Speaking of which, when I first met her, she’s accompanied by a lot of juniors in Karate. She’s that popular.
Seriously, she should aim to become a martial arts athlete instead of a bodyguard.
Kudou-san, do come to next month’s match
I said.
Nah. You cheer for my share too
Kudou-papa said.
If I’m there, Haruka won’t be in her best state
Kudou-papa said lonely.
Why? Isn’t it your daughter’s match? Why don’t you go watch it? Mariko
I.
You don’t know the small details so don’t say anything. Everyone goes through a lot but. You don’t have delicacy at all. Mariko-ojousama haiji. You. Please have some modesty
Haiji said.
Right. I also understood one reason why Michi-san is quiet
Kana-senpai said.
Let’s not ask too much about Michi-san’s family circumstances when she’s not present. Right? Well, that’s true, but.
Mariko seems dissatisfied, so Ai;
everyone, please get along
She mustered her courage and said.
Everyone. Please get along
Mariko.
I understand. You’re right, I’ve been thoughtless. I asked just to satisfy my curiosity. I’m sorry
She apologized to Kudou-papa.
Well, not that I mind. But, try to get along with Michi and Haruka. I’m asking as their father Okay, that’s the first shop. I’ll wait in the car, you all should go
Katsuko-nee’s first in the bakery list.
It’s located in a trendy shopping district next to an upscale residential area.
Wow, this is beautiful
Kana-senpai’s eyes sparkle.
I see. Isn’t this one a bit too much to aim for?
Mariko speaks her impressions.
It’s a large store designed to resemble a European house.
It’s not just a pastry shop but also a cafe. It has a lot of seats. It’s spacious.
Anyway, let’s get in
We get off the car and head to the store.
Hmm, this is a splendid looking shop. It’s hard to get in as high school students That’s not true. Isn’t this one just ordinary?
Kana-senpai and Mariko’s opinions don’t match.
But, it’s indeed a high-class store in this upscale residential area.
The customers in the cafe are adults. Not many people of our age.
Mariko opens the door and everyone comes in.
Wow, I expected this much price
Mariko said after looking at a 600g loaf for 700yen
It’s much more expensive than sweet bread and even some ordinary bakeries.
Err, pick whichever you like. I’ll pay
If we want to taste, then we have to buy
Besides, I want to know what kind of pastry they will pick.
You say that Nobu, but.
Kana-senpai seems confused.
Just pick three each and I’ll pick mine too Kou. Are we buying and eating here? No. We won’t keep Kudou-san waiting
I feel sorry that we’re the only ones eating pastries and drinking tea
Uhm, we’re going to another shop after this, right?
Haiji asks.
You don’t have to think about that for now. It’s okay to have a surplus. We have a lot of people in the family. Anyway, pick three pastries that fit your interests or that you want to eat Okay, if that’s what Kou says then let’s bring trays and tongs
Mariko takes the initiative.
I look at the whole counter.
The pastry variety is about 30 kinds.
Furthermore, it seems that they bake at separate times, morning, noon, and evening.
They’re baking at the back.
Still, Nobu, this store has a beautiful and elegant interior
Kana-senpai said.
Yeah, the decor is relaxed with plenty of wood, and red brick on the floor and walls. The walls have farmed paintings.
It has an elegant atmosphere, but.
Something’s wrong.
It doesn’t have the same elegance you find in the western style rooms filled with history from the Kouzuki house.
