e serious. Sorry if I was harsh earlier. I trust you now It’s Takakura Tsukiko Yes, best regards Anna-san watches Momoko-neechan and Tsukiko reach compromise dumbfoundedly. Then, please get in the car Shou-neechan opens the minivan door. Kaan Momoko-sama, Yamada Umeko-san, and Anna Erica-san, take the last row seat. Ruriko-sama and Tsukiko-san can go to the second row. Michi-san will be in the passenger seat to support me Shou-neechan picked the seats. In case we’re attacked on our way, Michi can get out of the passenger seat and create an opportunity with her attack. Shou-neechan’s driving the car, looking for a way to break out during the critical section. Sebastianus (Yamada Umeko-san) from behind is going to escort Momoko-neechan from behind. Then that means, Ya-chan and I will be on the other car Yes, I’m sorry to ask but please do so Shou-neechan smiled. Well, I guess. I can’t be a bodyguard. Then, Nei-oneesama, Onii-sama, take care Ruriko gets in the car. I got this! Yo-chan, let’s go Yeah Nei and I go to the other car. It’s an ordinary domestic medium-sized car. Then. Yo Kudou-papa shows up on the driver’s seat window. I was going to send in my new subordinate, who’s an old man in shorts, but he went out on a motorcycle tour with a girl and never came back Oh, it’s that old man whose bike Iwakura-kaichou is riding on. When I called him and checked on his status, it seems that he’s in Aomori prefecture’s Osorezan Wow, they’re having sex while driving and they reached Aomori? Still, if they go back now, they’ll only reach Kitagami, and tomorrow morning, they’ll reach the Okhotsk sea Just how far are they going? Oh well. Get in. Oh right, get in the passenger seat I was wondering why, but I see someone in the rear seat? It’s a beautiful high-school girl with long hair. She looks fragile and docile. Okay, excuse me Nei sits next to the girl in the rear seat. I’m Kuromori Nei, nice to meet you Nei didn’t name herself Natou, the one she uses in school, but Kuromori. Kuromori Kou, pleased to meet you I also named myself Kuromori as I get in the passenger seat. After hearing my name, the girl with long hair; Takahata Marika The girl said with her tiny voice. Oh, I get it Nei smiled. I also got it from looking at her face. Well, Ruri-chan consulted Shou-oneesan about Erica-chan a while ago, so she had enough time to do some preparations That means? Someone told Takahata-san to get in this car? I asked. Seki-san from Kouzuki SS I knew it. It’s Shou-neechan So, what were Shou-neechan’s instructions? To wait for Kuromori Kou in this car, and tell every secret we have so far Okay, and I’m that person I know. You just greeted me Oh right. Hey, we’re leaving now, following the car in front of us I look forward to hearing Kudou-papa’s voice, and Shou-neechan’s minivan starts to drive to the entrance. Then, Kudou-papa starts the engine. The lights flashed and illuminates the night. Then, let’s hear the details until we reach the hotel Nei tells Takahata-san. Yeah, instead of just Kudou-papa and me, it’s much easier to have Takahata-san talk to the cheerful Nei. Shou-neechan probably forecasted this. Geez. The second car we’re on goes down the hill from the mansion’s entrance down to the huge iron gate. There are vehicles of Kouzuki SS outside the gate, and they’re on standby. Our motorcade goes through the night road. At first glance, it’s hard to tell that they’re security vehicles, cars of different colors, types, and sizes surround the minivan and Momoko-neechan’s minivan. Our car that Kudou-papa’s driving is an ordinary domestic sedan. Then, there are big foreign sports cars, mini-cars with stickers that say Baby on board, and even minivans that are supposed to be carrying equipment. Yeah, the road isn’t packed. We can reach our destination as planned Kudou-papa said while driving. Then, we. We listened to Takahata Marika-san’s story while driving. Takahata-san is a little nervous so her voice is small, but. She’s intelligent. It’s easy to understand the contents of her talk. She explained things smoothly that I don’t even need to ask. Takahata-san’s birth, and her relationship with the Anna house so far. I see. I get it now I now see the whole picture of Anna Erica-san’s case. No, I’m not sure if it’s all of it, but. Anyway, Anna-san was desperate, and that’s the basic reason. The reason why there’s such a rift between her and her father and that she had to run away from home. In the end, Shou-neechan’s the one who performed the most. Deliberately giving information in chunks I said. Earlier, when Momoko-neechan was with us, her face says That’s all I know, but. She already found Takahata Marika-san and furthermore, she kept quiet about the fact that we’re bringing her today. It can’t be helped. Kaan Momooko-san’s the target today Nei said. Since Kaan-san is coming to the mansion this evening, so it’s decided to solve Anna-san’s case today Meaning, Anna-san running away from home. Ruriko convinced her to run away from home to match the time that Momoko-neechan’s coming here? But, she sure got hooked. Kaan-san already forgot her purpose in coming here! Right. Momoko-neechan’s purpose for coming is to have me violate Sebastianus (Yamada Umeko-san) as her punishment for losing to Edie. I feel the most pity for Sebako-chan who already resolved herself, but it’s still good. That girl is unfortunate to have her master order some incomprehensible stuff Right. Even if she lost to Edie while the other young ladies are watching, it’s just messed up to take her virginity because of that. Well, the issue Anna-san brought in lights up Kaan-san’s curiosity. I mean, it’s not a stranger’s problem for Kaan-san I think What do you mean? I asked Nei. Well, inheritance problems are quite grave for the nobility, see? I see. So that’s it. I mean, it’s a much more complicated problem than that I look at Takahata-san through the rear-view mirror. I’m sorry for causing trouble to everyone Takahata-san looks down. No, Takahata-san isn’t at fault here That’s right, you shouldn’t mind it Nei and I said in a hurry. So, how do you want to resolve this, Takahata-san? Nei asks. Right.we can’t decide on what to do next unless we hear that I also asked Takahata-san. Ruriko and Shou-neechan already know it. Also, we don’t want Momoko-neechan and Anna-san to know yet, so we need to arrange this grouping in the cars It’s already night, so the girls in the car in front shouldn’t see Takahata-san riding on the rear seat. They may see a figure, but Shou-neechan can say that it’s a female bodyguard of the Kouzuki SS and they won’t be suspicious anymore. I. Takahata-san said. I don’t know. I can’t imagine what would Anna Erica-san think of me I see. They never met before. But to be honest, putting this current encounter problem aside, I wanted to meet her and talk to her at least once. Therefore. She answered Shou-neechan’s call and came here. Err. So, what is that problem? I asked. That’s. Now that we’re here, just reveal everything! You know, Yo-chan and I will be facing the Anna parent and child, but to be honest, it’s Yo-chan who’ll do the speaking Nei said. I’m just an extra on this show, but we can use the Kouzuki house’s name, Kuromori Houses, either way, we will intervene. We’ll see if we can do what Takahata-san wants We can’t bring Takahata-san to the meeting as of now. Therefore, I have to be her speaker. Is that possible? Takahata-san looks at me. Yeah, he can. He has quite the influential voice you see. No, seriously. He’s the practical owner of the Kouzuki SS company. Ojou-chan, tell him what you need, he’s Seki Shou’s boss Kudou-papa said from the driver’s seat. Jii-chan gave me all the stocks of Kouzuki SS I don’t know how that procedure works but Kouzuki SS doesn’t belong to the Kouzuki group, Jii-chan all of the stocks of the company, no, it’s a private army. Shiba-san, who’s entrusted to manage the Kouzuki group, can’t touch the Kouzuki SS. I’m the one entrusted with their investigation, defense, and offense power. Misuzu, Ruriko, and Yoshiko-san, it’s to keep his granddaughters safe in the future. Well, you probably don’t believe it but the rich people are often absurd. Therefore, you should tell him everything Kudou-papa laughed. Yeah, Shou-neechan can’t oppose my orders. Although, I’m the one asking for her help most of the time I said. Anyway, talk while you have time. If not, we can’t give out a proper response Yeah, talk to us, Takahata-san! After a pause, Takahata-san; I understand. I’ve already gone this far, I don’t want to regret it. So, I’ll tell you everything Then, she began talking. In regards to the dangers of the current situation. Oh, so that’s why I understand now. So that’s why Anna-san doesn’t want to hand over her Grandfather’s inheritance to her father Yes, seems like it Nei nodded. Now I can connect all the things I didn’t understand before. I. Anna Erica-san’s definitely fighting her father for Takahata-san’s sake I said. For my sake? Takahata-san’s surprised. Yeah, if you look at Anna-san, you’ll understand. I’m sure of it. Anna-san wants to save Takahata-san I said.
