Chapter 1257. Afterglow Reconciliation
Well then, please enjoy chatting for a while Nei, the host, speaks to the mic after the toast. The victory party isn’t only with the family. Sakurako, and Shie-san, the new family are here. Edie’s friends in martial arts have come. Furthermore, Yukino also called over Snatch, the comedian, and Francie, the gay talent. We need some time before the atmosphere calms down. Here, some plates and chopsticks! We have a lot of food so eat your fill Mana and Megu bring small plates and chopsticks. Oh? You did all of it just as the recipe I left said Katsuko-nee saw the dishes and said with a smile. That’s because of their help Megu points at Kuromiya Motoko-san and Mikuriya Kurumi-san who are wearing aprons. Oh, these girls too. No, no, we’re just. We just helped out as Mana-san and Megumi-san instructed The young ladies who use a spear as their technique speaks humbly. That’s not true, Motoko-san’s better than me when to cooking Mana said. When you saw the recipe Katsuko-oneechan left, you already understood what she wanted it to taste like, so you moved at a really great pace No, not at all, Kurumi and I are still novices Please continue to guide us Kuromiya-san and Mikuriya-san bow their heads to Katsuko-nee. I see. It’s those girls. Kouzuki-sama told me about them Minaho-neesan who lead the toast comes to me with a Champagne glass in hand. We’re accepting them for now but you’re the one who makes the final decision They’re accepted in the Kuromori mansion but I’ll have to decide if I want them as my concubines. Katsuko talked directly to Kaan-sama and so I think that’s the end of pushing troublesome girls from the nobility Oh, so no more girls like Sakurakoa nd Kuromiya-san for now Misato and Arisu, the sisters from the collapsed Kurama house. Mizushima Karen, who received punishment from the Kouzuki house. Furthermore, Mariko, who has noble blood, but she’s not a noble daughter. Erica, a girl from an ordinary household, but is a star in the school for young ladies. Recently, young ladies with problems have been coming to me. What are you talking about, Kaan Momoko-sama’s still there, right? Minaho-neesan said. Ugh, I was pretending to forget about her you know. You have to do something with her too, you’re the only one who can talk to her on equal footing after all Hmm. To Momoko-neechan, a young lady of the Kaan house, everyone is just inferior to her. Even the girls who are close to her is just a protegee for her. Geez, that personality of hers makes it hard to gain friends. Yeah, I’ll do something about her I told Minaho-neesan. Thanks, well then, I’m going back to my work on the other room Huh? Minaho-neesan, the party just started you know? She just toasted and drank Champagne, she hasn’t eaten any of the food yet. The guests can’t calm down if I’m here, see? Minaho-neesan. True, Snatch and Francie, the Martial Arts women, they’re sending glances at Minaho-neesan who looks bizarrely intimidating despite looking so young. You should enjoy the party yourselves That’s. Minaho-neesan’s going to put some pressure on them just by existing, but. They can’t calm down not only because they’re afraid of you, Minaho Then. Margo-san comes close and told Minaho-neesan with a smile. Those people have seen scary people like Minaho from their society and so they’re not as scared as a normal people would be Yeah, the two who have shown great efforts in show business. And also people who have shown their achievements in the martial arts society. They’re accustomed to people out of the norm compared to normal folks. But I still have a job I need to finish tonight. I still have to write letters to the old customers to inform them about the new brothel Minaho-neesan said. It would be rude if I, the owner of the brothel, don’t handwrite the business reopening notice to each one of them The preparations for reopening the brothel are advancing steadily. I see. then, I’ll drop by later. Minaho, are you staying over tonight? Margo-san asks. Yes, Tamayo-san’s taking care of the new kids today along with the other retired women. I’m sure that they’re having a good time talking behind my back Minaho-neesan smiles wryly. I wonder? I think that they’re talking about how Minaho’s fighting hard to keep the prostitutes of the brothel safe Margo-san said, then. Thank you for coming tonight, Minaho She thanked Minaho-neesan. It’s my little sister’s party, of course, I will come Minaho-neesan speaks with a little bashful tone. Even though she’s busy reopening the brothel and yet, she went all the way to here. I always had a dream since Minaho picked me up from America. Thank you, Minaho You’re talented, you would’ve succeeded even without meeting me Minaho-neesan said. Margo-san shook her head. You’re wrong, if I didn’t meet you Minaho, then I would’ve been stuck in that orphanage in Rural America. I would’ve dried out there, unable to step out of my dark past That’s your misunderstanding, Margo. You’re much stronger than you think. Weren’t you able to carry your plan forward even without my help? Margo-san didn’t borrow the power of the Kouzuki house nor Minaho-neesan’s. She and Nei are pushing forward with their dream of advancing to America. Yes. We’re not getting help because this is our dream. Minaho has something she has to do by herself, and so I’m going to do mine too Margo-san said with a smile. Even so, we’re always receiving Minaho’s strength. We can feel Minaho close to us Me? Minaho-neesan looks at Margo-san curiously. Yes, I was talking to Nei before the interview, when I was looking for a sponsor on the show. We ask ourselves, What would Minaho do when talking to someone like this. We do that all the time Margo-san; And so, when we’re on our operation, since I’m just 19, and Nei’s 18.when old men of age 20, 30 talks us down, we tell ourselves that Minaho won’t lose to someone like this, and so we desperately fight back She laughs lightly. Nei and I have become little Minaho in our hearts. And every time we face a problem, Minaho in our heart always gives us encouragement. No matter what time of the day it is, the Minaho in our hearts is fighting alongside us, and it’s reassuring. Margo So, thank you Minaho. Stay in our hearts all the time. Thank you for being our big sister. Thank you for giving us this wonderful family. I’m able to do my best because Minaho’s there. Thank you Minaho-neesan; don’t be silly, if I were in your heart, then you won’t be able to stand the nagging. Anyway, I have work to do. Congratulations on your victory She told Margo-san and walked out of the dining room. Hmm, Minaho-oneechan’s quite a shy person Before I knew it Nei’s next to us, watching Minaho-neesan leave the room while giggling. But, isn’t that great that she came here? Nei is also happy that Minaho-neesan came to the party today. Yoshinobu-kun too, thank you Margo-san told me. Huh, for what? I didn’t do anything deserving of thanks. Minaho changed since meeting you. If this was Minaho before, she would never even entertain the idea of honoring the toast Right, she would just watch us have fun through the cameras and prepare for her next conspiracy Nei laughed. Yo-chan, let’s bring some food to Minaho-oneechan later. It doesn’t have to be right now Right, let’s bring her some of the party dishes later. Yeah got it I replied, Then, Nei looked around the dining room. Well then, how’s the chatting with everyone? I also took a look around. Then. Here you go. Should I bring more? Kuromiya-san and Mikuriya-san are stuck on the food table, serving everyone else. Those spear sisters seem to be very human Nei said. Ya-chan, spear sisters? If they were lesbians, then I would’ve called them Yuri sisters, but they don’t seem like it. They both seem straight to me. Also, they use spears, right? So Spear sisters(Yari Shimai), it’s not like they’re called sluts(Yariman)! Hmm. I’ll take your place, you should eat and talk with the girls Katsuko-nee told the spear sisters. No, we’re. We’re here to serve everyone Oh, they did say that they’re in the lowest among my women. But, we can’t let that Katsuko-nee said. Tonight, you’re our guest No, we have our resolve We would like to do whatever we can to help Haa, they got us. Agnes, come here I called Agnes. Yes, desuno! Agnes comes over. Of course, Luna and Koyomi-chan are with her. I went to the spear sisters together with Agnes. Kuromori-sama, what would you like to have? I’ll bring everyone’s food too Mikuriya-san takes a plate and welcomes us. Agnes, these people Yes, desuno! Agnes looks up at me with earnest feelings. They say that they want to be our family, but I still haven’t decided on what to do yet Yes, desuno Kuromiya-san; Please don’t mind it and use us We’ll do anything that we can Mikuriya-san said without breaking her smile. I want to hear Agnes’ opinion. She’s the center of the young group after all I told the spear sisters and looked at Agnes. With that said, have a talk with these girls while eating. Then, Agnes will tell me if they should be in our family or not, okay? Aye, aye sir! Agnes salutes, then. Luna, and Koyomi-chan, help me out! Agnes doesn’t know much about strangers, and so Agnes might get fooled by bad people We’re not bad people Mikuriya-san said, but. No, bad people say that line, so you have to be careful! That’s what they taught Agnes Who did? Kuromiya-san asks. Mao-chan taught me! The 12-year old Agnes learned that from the 4-year-old Mao-chan. Starting tomorrow, Agnes has to go outside Yeah, tomorrow is a Monday, and so Agnes and the girls will attend the school for the young ladies. Agnes. Kuromiya-san will be your senior at school so listen to them at school, okay? Certainly, desuno! Agnes nods to me, then. Karen-chan, Haiji-chan, come here too, desuno! She calls Karen and Haiji. Even if anyone tries to fool Agnes in school, Karen-chan will notice it! No, sure, Karen’s a student in the same school, but. Why are you so cautious of Kuromiya-san that much? Oh, I knew it. She seems to feel that she can’t trust those spear sisters Nei whispered to me. Yeah, let’s go see Agnes’ reaction to them. I mean, Luna and Koyomi-chan are already checking the spear sister’s mind. Then, let’s begin our investigation while we’re eating! Err. Who let Agnes watch police drama? Kuromiya-san and Mikuriya-san’s taken to the young group. As for the one serving the table. Katsuko-oneesama, Yoshiko and I will do it Ruriko and Yoshiko-san came over. Then, please. I’m a little worried so I’m going to watch over Agnes-chan Katsuko-nee goes to Agnes’ table too. On the other hand. The newcomers, Sakurako and Shie-san have Erica and Marika, Arisu, Kinuka, and Mitama, then Erica and Kana-senpai gathering around them. Hey, can I? Kana? Mariko whispers. Huh, what? You actually want to be at the table with the celebrities over there, don’t you? Kana-senpai. I’ve got no interest in the comedian. Neither the other one She speaks bluntly. Well, I don’t really care about hot actors and whatnot, I’m all for Nobu She told Mariko with a smile. I’d rather talk to a female actress or musician, but. Hmm, I see. I hardly watch TV so I’m not interested in celebrities either. Seeing that the two high school girls have no interest in them, Snatch; For some reason, they joined the table of the female athletes. And so, Edie-oneechan’s really strong! Michi-san is also strong! Seems like the twins who want to play with Snatch and Francie brought them to the table.
