its.
But in my job, you don’t know when your phone breaks. Just because your phone is out of order and you can’t find the number of the person you have to call doesn’t mean that you can use that as an excuse, this is why I carry around a notepad for me to write down numbers of people. Oh, I also have three other notebooks with the same information written on them, one to carry around, one to record, and one for emergencies. It’s to make sure that there are no hindrances even if one is lost. If I have to write down a new phone number then I write them on all three of them. It’s bothersome but there’s no other way around it Then, he puts the receiver to his ear.
..
..
Oh, Kawabata? It’s me, Kudou. The head of the Kudou Detective Agency, the man among men, the hardboiled mighty guy. Yes, that Kudou Yuusaku. Hey, don’t put it down! The reception’s bad? You’re kidding me! Only your face is bad!
Kudou-papa told the guy in the call.
Yes, I know, I get it, I’ll be brief. Hey, Kawabata, I mean, Boss Kawabata! Look up at the sky and pihyararara! Look, you’re the backer of Dynamic Pro Wrestling, the one with women’s professional wrestlers, right? Yeah, yes, that happened.d Oh, by the way, can I trouble you just a bit?
He asks straight away.
Yeah, and so, there’s this girl who wants to get out of Dynamic Pro Wrestling, oh right, what’s your ring name again girl?
Grace Marinka
Grace-san replies calmly.
Yes, Marinka. Marinka’s a wrestler. Huh? Is there three Marinka in Dynamic Pro Wrestling?
Yes. I’m Grace, The other girls are Zed and God
What is it, a Marinka Series or something?
Oh, you see, the girl here is Grace. Grace Marinka. So, about this Grace Marinka girl, I think you already know about it but she escaped by beating up the director of the company. Are you looking for her? Oh, you have something to complain about? Did you send the damage report to the police? Hmm, really
Kudou-papa then changed his tone.
Kawabata. Could you stop that for the time being? Well, to be specific, I will be going to meet those old men and ask them nicely about some things. You too, can you get along with me this time and help these old men to give up on their charges?
The other side is the boss of a Yakuza.
As expected, Kudou-papa’s amazing.
If you help me, I’ll help you. Hey now, bossan, sir boss! I’m really lowering my hips down here so do what I’m asking you! Huh? If you’re not doing it then I’ll show you hell! Do you get it? Dammit!
Then.
By the way, Grace Marinka will be leaving the Dynamic Pro Wrestling on good terms. Convince the old men for me. Well, make them write a document that says the contract was called off as of yesterday. You hear me, Kawabata? If anyone from Dynamic Pro Wrestling comes within a hundred meters of her, then there’s no guarantee to their lives. Do you get it? Dammit!
Kudou-papa’s saying all he wants to say.
Well, you’re not going to use the ring name you gave her anywhere else, right? Well, let’s talk about the details later. Anyway, Grace Marinka’s now independent! Can’t help it, right? That’s what the person herself wants to say, isn’t that right, girl?
Yes
So you heard from her. Do you get it? That’s how it is. I will be going to talk to the president of the Dynamic Pro Wrestling, you’re coming too. Okay? You know it won’t end nicely for you if you don’t come
Kudou-papa insisted.
Also, there will be no settlement money for this case. You don’t get a reward or anything either. Listen? What, are you dissatisfied, Kawabata? I mean, you can’t do anything about it. This is a job for the Kouzuki SS. Yes, it wasn’t the Kudou detective agency that took the job. There’s someone far more dangerous than me that gave that order. Yeah, that’s right. So, even if you and the guys at Dynamic Pro Wrestling feel dissatisfied, you need to let Grace Marinka slip off the cracks. Yeah, that’s right. I’m already telling you, it is. You’ll receive some kind of compensation son. Just do as I say for now Oh, I see.
I’m the owner of the Kouzuki SS now.
So, any request I do is an order from the Kouzuki SS.
Well then, I’m going to your office now. You’re the one to talk to Dynamic Pro Wrestling. Then, we’re meeting with the president. Yeah, the orders were to solve the problem as quickly as possible, can’t help it, see? Yeah, I’m going to your place, right. Thanks, Kawabata. See you later
Kudou-papa ended the call.
Then.
See? That was easy right? I mean, I intended to rest easy so I got this
He smiled.
As for the settlement money, Kouzuki SS will send some of the secret activity fees
Rei-chan said.
As for the hospital gifts for the people taken to the hospital and for the leader of the gang that will do the talking, three million yen will be enough, won’t it?
Three million yen. For me, that’s a huge amount of money, but.
For Rei-chan an elite bodyguard from the Kouzuki SS, that much can be just a personal expense.
No, if you try to settle everything through money then they’ll look down on you. So, don’t use money. When Kawabata gets in trouble for something in the future, I’ll lend him a hand. At that time, I don’t know if I can use the name and connections to the Kouzuki SS. Either way, let’s make this loan go away
Kudou-papa replies.
This is how you want it to end right? I took the liberty of using the Kouzuki SS name but I think things will go smooth this way. Spare me the trouble okay?
He told me.
No, that’s totally okay. I’m the one who made the request after all
I replied as the owner of the Kouzuki SS.
It’s a good opportunity so I’ll teach you. People don’t appreciate monetary rewards as much as you think
Monetary rewards aren’t appreciated?
I’m sure everyone’s happy when they get extra for their income, but when you use monetary rewards, your relationship gets weird. Some would feel awkward with the relationship and cut it off, or on the other hand, do something unnecessary because they only want the money. If you don’t want me to tell anyone about the other day, then give me more money When money’s involved, it gets really messy I see.
This is why I use something other than money to settle my debt with others. It could be labor from me or just some consultation with the other party. This time, the offer that he can get a connection to the Kouzuki SS is worthy enough for Kawabata. Compared to the individual, he has more trust in the Kouzuki SS
I see.
With that said, I’m heading out now to fix the problems all tonight
Kudou-papa speaks filled with confidence.
Grace-chan, this is where you say thank you, you know?
Monkey Mimi-san said.
thank you.very much
Grace Marinka said bashfully.
Kudou-san’s much more skilled than you think
Margo-san told Kudou Haruka.
Father usually jokes around but he’s a strong-minded person
Michi evaluates their father.
Don’t praise me Michi, you’re making me blush
Kudou-papa smiled wryly.
Then.
See you guys!
Kudou-papa leaves the dining room with a smile.
We’re relying on you, Kudou-san
Got it!
I said. Kudou-papa lightly waved his hand as he leaves.
Father
Kudou Haruka mutters lightly.
Hey, Hey, Marika-chan, can you play something?
Trying to change the mood, Nei calls Marika to play music this time.
Certainly
Marika said with a smile and went to the Electronic Organ in the dining room corner.
Let’s play some bright music!
Nei requested;
Then, I’ll play Chopin’s Minute Waltz
Marika begins playing a classical piano piece.
The performance continued for a while.
Ruriko and Yoshiko-san did a traditional dance.
i’ll sing!
Agnes, Luna, Koyomi-chan, and Karen, the four sixth-graders sang a song matching Marika’s tune.
I’m not sure why the song that congratulates Margo-san and Edie’s victory is Bear in the woods, but.
I’m sure that this is just Agnes’ hobby.
But still, seeing the grade school girls sing is so cute.
The nervousness still hasn’t come off Agnes, but still, she’s already getting accustomed to being in the same room with people that aren’t in the family.
The little birds are so cute!
The gay talent, Francie stood up and clapped his hands.
After that, Nei led a game tournament.
Here, Ai-chan made this cake!
We ate Ai’s special cake.
Then, the party ended.
That was fun. I’m glad that I met Yukino’s family too
Snatch, the comedian smiled.
Yukino-chan, you could’ve done a Manzai with me
Francie said, but.
No thanks
Yukino doesn’t want it.
We had fun too
Monkey Mimi-san said.
We’re the loser here so it’s weird to be intruding the victory party, but.
Poron-san said.
Well, why not? We’re going to America together anyway
Rodulfo Seiko-san said.
You know, Line Haruko-san
Margo-san called haruko-san.
You left high school, but would you like to enter one?
What?
Haruko-san’s surprised.
Well, the school just past this mansion is my alumni. Nei, Edie, Yoshinobu-kun, Megumi-chan, and Ai-chan are all students there
Me too!
Kana-senpai from the other table waved her hand.
I have some connections in that school so I can have Haruko-san enrolled if you want
Margo-san said.
By the way, I’m also going there next week
Mitama said.
Me too, I will be in everyone’s care
Tsukiko too.
The others aren’t here right now but the prostitute newcomers in Minaho-neesan’s new brothel will also attend our school.
Establishing the new class, the Nadeshiko department
Thus, I think that Haruko-san can also attend. What do you think? Do you want to attend our school? Since you’ll be with Edie, you can skip classes for training and match participation, and when going to America, the school will be flexible with the work that they’ll give you
But I.
Line Haruko-san looks troubled.
But.
It’s an opportunity, I think you should take it
Haruko-san’s master, Rodulfo Seiko-san said.
Haruko, you should at least graduate from High School. If you’re with Edie-san, then it should be okay, right?
Haruko-san was forced to quit her previous high school because she can’t stay there. After all, she disabled the wrestling team advisor there.
She shouldn’t have a problem enrolling in our school.
Margo-san, can you move forward with that talk?
Rodulfo Seiko-san said before Line Haruko-san could respond.
Then, I’ll talk to the directors and the chairman
Yes, thanks
Margo-san said, then Katsuko-nee smiled.
Our school chairman is Katsuko-nee half a year ago, but.
Now, Minaho-neesan’s the chairman, and Katsuko-nee’s one of the board directors.
Then, Grace Marinka-san will have to stay in this place
Poron-san looked at Grace-san and said.
Onoe Jun.that’s my real name
Grace-san suddenly exposed.
Grace Marinka is my ring name, that’s the name the president gave me. If the president says that I can’t name myself as such, then I’ll have to change my ring name
Oh yeah, there was that conversation between Kudou-papa and a Yakuza boss.
Well then, are you changing your ring name from here on? Or will you use your real name?
Monkey Mimi-san asks Grace-san, Onoe Jun-san.
I wonder about that?
Onoe-san still hasn’t decided yet.
Then, I’ll give you a new ring name!
Rodulfo Seiko-san said, then stared at Onoe-san.
Let’s see. If it’s you, then Miss Iserlohn, or Lady Gaisburg, a reassuring kind of name
Err.
I wonder? I think that Konde Mako suits as her ring name
Poron-san said.
Eeh? She’s been a pro wrestling fan since before and so I don’t think changing her ring name too much is good!
Monkey Mimi-san states her opinion.
If she’s Grace Marinka before, then how about Glenda Izawa instead?
I don’t get what Nei meant by that.
Anyway, Kudou-san’s still talking to the pro wrestling company so you can take your time thinking about it
Margo-san told Grace-san.
