That’s something else. But when it comes to joining the family, that’s where we’ll continue supporting you two until you become professionals
I looked straight into their eyes and replied.
Although, your problem with your grandfather is something that needs fixing right away. Otherwise, Maki-san will have to quit high school, and Miki-san will have to sell her violin.
Hearing that, Miki-san looks at her treasured violin.
Therefore, we’re cleaning up the problems first. Also, we’re taking our compensation How do we pay it back?
Maki-san looks at me worriedly.
That’s for later. This is all too sudden for me too
I’ve already decided to take these beautiful sisters.
Marika also wants her, and the sisters have a good personality.
I think that it’s good for all of us if we let these girls join the family.
However, we can put that discussion for later.
Anyway, we want to fix your Grandfather’s issues first. Matsumoto-san, should we move on?
I ask for their confirmation.
Miki?
Maki-san looks at her sister with unease.
Uhm, as for the compensation, do we have to pay only if it all goes well?
Miki-san asks.
Oh, she knows. What a clever girl.
That. You don’t need to compensate for anything if it fails. I won’t tell you to pay for all the necessary expenses. I can guarantee you that Nee-san, if that’s the case, we should make the request
She decides quickly as she hears my promise.
right, then, if you’d please
Maki-san bows her head.
I
We can’t just ask Jii-chan if it’s a drugstore chain owner, right?
I asked Mariko.
Indeed. Kouzuki-sama’s position in the financial world is too high that it might not go through
He’s the first generation who grew a large drugstore chain.
If he faces someone from the nobility, especially the Kouzuki house, he might just rebel and the conversation gets complicated.
I don’t think our Torii electronics made deals with the drugstore chain, but I’m sure Momoko-oneesama knows someone who has business with them
Kaan Momoko-neechan.
Momoko-neechan runs her own online shopping company, and she knows various business owners through the parties in the business world and in the Kaan group.
I’m hoping to get a meeting with Matsumoto-san’s grandfather tonight in some hotel
Then.
If you go through the surface line, then it’ll take so much time that you won’t get that far
Minaho-neesan said.
True, Mariko will contact Momoko-neechan, ask Momoko-neechan to introduce us to someone who knows Matsumoto-san’s grandfather, and then, introducing us to that person, it won’t end today Yes, Kou. At times like this, just go directly through him from behind the scenes
Minaho-neesan looked at the Matsumoto siblings.
You girls have your grandfather’s contact number, don’t you? yes, I have it on my phone
Matsumoto Maki-san replies.
Then, give it to me, I’ll talk to your grandfather. It’ll be a little intimidating, but it’s inevitable in your situation
Minaho-neesan then goes back to me.
You don’t have any significant information that can make an impact on Matsumoto-san. But, I do know the names of people who may have that kind of information So we’re going to use that name to reel him? Yes. I’ll let him know that I have a good deal for the Matsushita chain. Saying that it’ll be beneficial for Matsumoto-san’s corporate group to know that information, and it would create significant damage if they remain ignorant
Minaho-neesan.
For example, I can tell them that a well-selling drug from a certain pharmaceutical manufacturer that Matsumoto-san’s chain sells actually has a major problem and major side effects. However, it’s kept under the wraps by the political and business circles. If I tell him that he can find out what drug it is before the information is leaked to the press, I’m sure he’ll be on board But, the Matsushita drugstore just sells regular medicine, right? I don’t think that a pharmaceutical scandal would affect the chain that much
Mariko rebuts.
It would be the manufacturer’s responsibility. Matsumoto-san would just be a victim as he only trusted the manufacturer to put the product on the store shelves
Minaho-neesan laughs.
Mariko-san, you don’t understand the mindset of company owners like Matsumoto-san. Matsumoto-san grew the drugstore chain in his generation, see? A manager like that would want to know everything about the drugs sold in his store. And I’m assuming that he’s a licensed pharmacist, right? Yes, Grandfather graduated with a pharmacy degree and he has a license
Matsumoto Maki-san replies.
Someone like him would feel responsible for every drug he sells in his store. So, he would want the information saying that this or that drug is dangerous. and if he removes it from the store before the media went public with it, then he could use it as an advertisement, saying that he knew that the drug was dangerous. He could brag to the other owners that he knew about it before others So it’s about pride?
Mariko’s shocked.
It’s important to have a sense of superiority if you’re a rising business owner
I see.
I’m from the other side, and I’m quite famous there. If Matsumoto-san does a little research, he’ll figure out who I am. And, it becomes a position where he can gather information from our side
Minaho-neesan’s an owner of a brothel that serves the big names in politics and business.
If he continues to doubt me, then I can just bring a big name from the pharmacy industry that Matsumoto-san knows. I can tell him that they’re my client and that the big name told me the story, then Matsumoto-san will believe me. Then, I’ll ask him to come to the hotel so I can give the name of the specific manufacturer and the name of the drug in detail, Matsumoto-san will come over But, would the company owner come by himself?
Mariko continues to argue further, but.
He will. We’re not a company like the Kouzuki or Kaan group, or your family’s Torii Electronics. As a business owner, he thinks that he guides the company he grew himself, so he’ll come. He won’t leave it to others. Well, he’ll bring a couple of secretaries, but we’re only interested in meeting the man himself
And as long as we can meet him, we can just change his mind using the Miko power.
So he doesn’t try to take control of his granddaughters again.
We’ll use the hotel in front of the station. That’s one of the hotels that Kouzuki group doesn’t use
Right, we’re cleaning this up as the Kuromori house.
Then, I’ll make the call, give me the number. Don’t worry, the phone here is a secure line, and I won’t tell Matsumoto-san where I got the number from
Minaho-neesan told the sisters.
Then, we’re going back to the mansion for now. Matsumoto-san can come too. That’s for the better, right?
Right, I told them that they can have dinner at our place, but.
The Matsumoto siblings should see our family as soon as possible.
Marika-san and Erica-san, you don’t mind going back to the mansion with us, right? Yes, thank you I’ll take care of Matsumoto-san so she doesn’t worry
Marika and Erica replied.
Then, I’ll return to the mansion too. There’s Matsumoto-san and the girls, but Minaho-san, can you let me watch your call with their grandfather?
Mariko wants to spectate as Minaho-neesan does her schemes.
I don’t mind, as long as you don’t get in the way I won’t obstruct! I’m only observing for future reference!
Mariko smiles in excitement.
In that case, the remaining group would be me, my bodyguard, Kurose Anju, and.
Everyone, Igarashi-san’s ready now
Tsukiko brings back Igarashi Izumifrom to the open door to the basement.
uhm
Igarashi Izumi put on makeup badly and deliberately ruffled her hair.
