I asserted.
It seems contradictory to leave the Kuromiya house to keep the Kuromiya style, but as long as you belong to the house, you have to obey their decisions Indeed, I don’t think we can allow ourselves to be selfish when we carry the family name
Sakurako said.
Currently, your family is feeding you, Kuromiya-san. If you want to do something different from what the people at your home think, then leave your home and become independent but, we’re.
Kuromiya-san hesitates.
I don’t think Kurumi and I will be able to make a life independently
She’s born a young lady too.
She doesn’t have the skill to make her money and live on it.
So, the only thing you can do is learn the skills to support yourselves
I said.
You feel threatened that you’ll be married off to another family and have to throw away your spear if things continue, but, it’s at least a few more years before you’re forced to marry, right?
Kuromiya-san is still 17.
It doesn’t seem like she’ll get married right after graduating from school anyways.
I think that’s true, but.
Kuromiya-san;
But, they’ve already decided who will become my fiance Engagement? Just break it off before you get married Kuromori-sama? It’s a decision made against your will, without your consent. Your fiance may hate you later but for now, just stall for time Stall for time? Yes, time for you and Mikuriya-san to learn how to live independently
Be it two or three years, if you have time, then you’ll manage.
Anyway, if you want to continue using the spear then you’ll need to be independent of the house. Meaning, you need to ready yourself to leave the world of nobility
I look into Kuromiya-san’s eyes and said.
The reason why Kuromiya-san wants to be my concubine is that you want to continue using your spear and also stay in the world of the nobility, am I right?
Becoming the concubine of Kouzuki Misuzu’s fiance.
She won’t have to abandon the family name of Kuromiya house as she’s protected by the Kouzuki house.
That’s naive thinking, and a shameful act of relying on other people’s power. If you want to hold that spear, then abandon your home. Abandoning your home means that you have to prepare to cease to be a member of the nobility I will no longer be a daughter of the Kuromiya house, and leave the world of nobility Correct. If you have that resolve to become independent in the outside world. Then I don’t think that you can continue to protect your Kuromiya style
I said. Kuromiya-san trembles.
that’s impossible. Leaving the nobility.
Kuromiya-san’s born as a young lady of nobility, she studied at the school for young ladies since she was in kindergarten.
All her friends must be from the nobility as well.
If you can’t, then you have to give up on your spear. If you want to stay as a member of the nobility, then you’ll have to follow the head of the house, abandon your spear, and marry into another noble family
It would be too selfish for her to continue both being a young lady of nobility, and carry her spear.
Kuromiya house doesn’t need the Kuromiya style anymore, so that’s the only choice If you wish to continue using your spear, which is against the will of your house, then leave. Kuromori-sama’s right But I.
Kuromiya-san’s confused.
If you’re serious about it, then you’ll have the skills you need to survive in a couple of years. I’m learning the skills now so I can make a living as a baker after graduating from high school you see But, there’s no work that I can do while using the spear Look for one. If you look for something serious then you’ll find something Anyway, give the idea of becoming independent a serious thought. If not, you’ll always be a bothersome girl no matter where you go
To Kuromiya house, to us.
You’re a good cook so I think you can find a way to be independent in that direction. Also, you can try what Michi suggested, making a living with spears if they’re modified to fit in the modern world
I look at Michi.
Michi, let’s say, for example, we use the Kuromiya style spear fighting as a lesson for the new Kouzuki SS guards on stick fighting or subduing thugs, can she be a lecturer or instructor for that? That’s possible. That is if Kuromiya-sama approves the modern adaptation of the Kuromiya style spear fighting
Michi replies with her usual blank face.
I think that we can develop a new self-defense technique for women based on the Kuromiya style
Self-defense?
For example, using a long stick-like object, such as a parasol, making it a strong and lightweight, and when the opportunity comes, they can work it out as a spear-like weapon
I see.
I think it’s easier to make a living as an instructor by starting a new self-defense system for women using a traditional spear art that’s passed down on generations of nobility than by teaching it to the guards
Kouzuki SS new bodyguards are few and far between.
Compared to that, it’s more profitable to promote it as a self-defense technique for women.
Parasols? Those are much shorter than the original spear
Kuromiya-san said, but.
However, the Kuromiya style also has a tradition of techniques using short-hand spears. We can tweak it as a self-defense technique
Mikuriya Kurumi-san who has been silent all this time, speaks up.
Yes. We need to work on incorporating traditional spear techniques into self-defense. As a result, a new self-defense technique perfected will be different from the original Kuromiya style spear fighting. Even so, it’s possible to adapt the ancient spear technique to the modern age
Michi said.
Cooking job and Self-defense instructor. I think it’s best to see if you can achieve both
Sakurako said.
You’ll need a lot of money to spread the word about self-defense You might need to start with the cooking job to save some money. Since you’re leaving the Kuromiya house, you won’t be able to receive support from your family That’s right. Since you’re leaving the nobility, you’ll have to do the advertising and everything on your own. Just because you can use spear techniques, it’s not safe to focus all your energy in the self-defense business
I added.
But of course, that doesn’t mean that only those two are your options. What can Kuromiya-san do right now? What can you learn in the next few years, take that into consideration when planning for the future
Kuromiya-san thinks for a moment, and then.
Indeed. It is as Kuromori-sama and Sakurako-sama says
She mutters.
The Kuromiya style and I have to change That’s right. Go change, become strong. Be independent
I.
If you don’t learn the ability to survive on your own, you’ll remain weak and dependent on others. Kuromiya-san and your fighting style can’t survive the way it is now
Kuromiya-san looked at me.
Her eyes are filled with energy.
I understand, Thank you very much. Uhm, I.
Kuromiya-san speaks bashfully.
I’m ashamed that I’ve troubled Kuromori-sama too much. I can’t give anything back yet
Then.
Kuromori-sama, would you at least take my chastity?
That’s.
If I leave the Kuromiya house, I won’t have to marry the man they decided for me. And so, I want to give my chastity to Kuromori-sama Uhm, would you be willing to accept my chastity together with Motoko-sama’s?
Mikuriya-san too.
I know that this might just be another annoyance I’m imposing but I can’t think of any other way to repay you
Kuromiya-san said.
I won’t ask to become your concubine, but please, I want to offer my first time to you, Kuromori-sama
