ou Sakurako-san. I slip down Ruriko’s bra with my right hand and ask Mariko while touching Ruriko’s nipples. Not now, let’s do it when we meet Sakurako-san Mariko says while rubbing her cheeks to my left hand. It’s a delicate problem so I don’t want to say anything unnecessary. Kou, I want you to hear everything from Sakurako-san herself All I know that it’s involving Kanou Sakurako-san’s private life. Apart from that, I’ll have to meet with the person and talk to her directly. Okay, I’ll do as Mariko says I agreed. We drive across the city center and arrived in a Kouzuki house’s hotel where we met Jii-chan and the head of the Kaan house the other day. We stopped the car in the underground parking lot, and then. Staff from the hotel came over. Yes, thank you Rei-chan opened the driver’s seat door and took something. It’s probably the key card to the room. She already contacted them that Ruriko will use the room today. There’s no need to go to the lobby, they went to pass it here. That’s a staff from the Kouzuki SS Rei-chan whispered to me. Jii-chan uses this hotel all the time when traveling incognito, so. There are exclusive employees from Kouzuki house among the staff. Are we going up to the floor through the elevator directly? I asked. No, we’ll go to the tea room of the hotel first Ruriko replied. Yes, Sakurako-san has arrived in the tea room of the hotel already Mariko who has direct contact with Kanou-san, said. Right, it would be weird if we visit the hotel room right away. Let’s go to the second room We get off the car. I’ll follow them, everyone, stand by Rei-chan told the guards from Kouzuki SS who followed us from the mansion. They scattered around the parking lot. This hotel has a break room for the bodyguards Rei-chan whispered. This is a Kouzuki house facility so their security measures are flawless. From security cameras to specialized staff, this hotel is safe. If a dangerous person comes over, they will be checked and eliminated right away. Furthermore, the floor exclusive to the Kouzuki house is used for secret meetings by Jii-chan so it’s shut out from outside interference. It’s soundproof, and reception won’t leak outside, so there’s no need to worry about wiretapping. Reika-oneesama, please open the trunk Okay, I’m opening it now Rei-chan opens the car trunk. Ruriko, that’s. Ruriko took out a huge bag. Uhm, machines for recording Recording? Oh. Ruriko loves filming sex, so if Kanou Sakurako-san actually does prostitution. She’s prepared to record the deflowering. Ruriko’s favorite sex-filming-use digital camera. She has one for video and photo recording. I’m sure that she prepared this last night and stuffed it in the trunk of the car. I’ll carry them Anyway, since I’m empty-handed, I can’t just let Ruriko carry huge luggage like that. I carry Ruriko’s favorite recording equipment bag. Thank you, Onii-sama Thinking about Ruriko’s fetish, this is a natural outcome Let’s go Rei-chan takes the lead, Ruriko, Mariko, and I follow, and Michi follows from the back. We move inside the hotel with that structure. We get on the elevator and up to the second floor. The tea room is straight ahead. We can eat the room-service parfait we had the other day in here too Ruriko said. Speaking of which, Agnes and Luna were eating it happily. The tea room is facing the hotel’s courtyard. The light from the sun is shining brightly. It’s Sunday morning, but there are a decent number of customers here. Onii-sama, this way The bellboy checked Rei-chan and Ruriko’s faces, and then guided us on the reserved seats, seats with a good view. It’s a big round table that can fit ten people in. This is Grandfather’s favorite seat. And so, it’s always a reserved seat when Grandfather’s not present Even though it’s not full, it’s still reserved. Oh, please don’t sit over there. That’s exclusive only to Kakka Rei-chan said. They call it the seat of peril because if anyone other than Kakka sits there, it’ll bring them bac luck Grandfather spread that Legend himself, as he loves the Arthurian stories like that Ruriko smiled wryly. Oh, Arthur’s seat in the round table is also called the seat of peril Mariko understood right away. I didn’t. But if I recall correctly, wasn’t Sir Galahad the one sitting on the seat of peril among the round table? Sir Galahad had the seat of Peril but he died early after accomplishing his hunt Michi told Mariko. The three characters making up the story of King Arthur, are himself, Sir Lancelot, and Sir Galahad, each of them had their own missing piece that prevents them from becoming the ideal knight. The ideal knight is a good lord, a good Christian, and a courtly love with a noble lady. King Arthur is the king, so he’s a good lord, but as a king, he has to be fair with all his people, so he’s not allowed to fight for his queen, Queen Guinevere, nor he’s allowed to abandon his position to search for the Holy Grail as the Christian. Lancelot is a noble knight, and he had a courtly affair with Queen Guinevere, but as a Christian, he’s stigmatized and so he cannot obtain the Holy Grail. Sir Galahad was able to sit in the seat of peril and take the Holy Grail because he’s an unscathed knight, however, he died young which means he couldn’t experience courtly love as a knight. Michi tells me. Well, what are you eating Kou? Mariko shows me the menu. Wow, even a cup of coffee costs a lot. Look at the curry rice, it’s 3000 yen. Coffee will do. We’ll move as soon as Kanou-san comes over I don’t think we can ask Kanou Sakurako-san about her desire for prostitution in this place. Indeed. Then I’ll take coffee too In the end, everyone ordered coffee. Onii-sama, shall we make the round table in our mansion too? Ruriko said. Place one name on each seat. Making the seat of peril seems fun too That looks fun, Kou and his round table of women Mariko smiled, but I don’t get what’s fun about it at all. Ruriruri, I don’t think that’s a good idea. We don’t know how many more people will join our family after all Michi replies with her usual blank face. If that’s the case, we just have to make a huge round table that can fit 100 people. Some say that there were only 13 seats in King Arthur’s round table but there are more than 13 knights of the round table in Arthurian stories Mariko said. The Round Table of King Arthur hung at the great hall at Winchester had 24 seats Rei-chan said with a smile. Oh right, she has an interest in the UK. Rei-chan. Mallory’s version says that it can fit 300 people Michi said. What kind of table is that, being able to fit 300 people. While we’re talking. Excuse me Kanou Sakurako-san has arrived. Her bodyguard, Shiranui Shie-san, and an old man were with her. We’ve been waiting, please, take a seat This is a Kouzuki house’s facility so Ruriko’s the one dealing with her. Sakamoto, wait in the car Kanou-san told the old man. This man must be her chauffeur. However Sakamoto looks at Sakurako-san worriedly. I’m Fujimiya from Kouzuki SS Rei-chan stood up and told Sakamoto. I’m here with them so there is no need to worry Rei-chan should know this driver. Rei-chan took out her business card. There’s a break room for chauffeurs on the basement floor so take a rest there. We will contact you when Kanou Sakurako-sama is ready to leave. Just show this to the hotel staff or Kouzuki SS and they will lead you to the room No, but. Sakamoto tries to refuse while taking the business card, but. Take it, unless we want to be rude to Kouzuki-sama Kanou Sakurako-san orders. You don’t have to worry about anything Sakamoto, this is Kouzuki-sama’s hotel Excuse me Sakamoto took Rei-chan’s business card. Fujimiya-san, please take care of Sakurako-ojousama Yes, she’s in our care Shiranui-san too, take care of her He also called out Shiranui Shie-san, Kanou house’s bodyguard. I know Shie-san’s expression is stiff. I knew it, there has to be some problem inside the Kanou house. Then, I will take my leave Sakamoto bows his head and left. I. For now, sit down. Let’s drink coffee We shouldn’t rush to the main subject right away. First, let’s drink some coffee and calm Kanou-san down. Uhm, I. Kanou-san’s nervous have a gloomy face. We already ordered coffee so drink yours too. If you don’t like coffee then we’ll ask for something else I took out the menu. You don’t have to rush. It’s still morning so let’s take our time Indeed, Kanou-sama Ruriko told the two Sakurako-san, that’s what Kuromori-sama and Ruriko-sama says so let’s have some tea first Lastly, Mariko told her cousin with a smile.
