But, isn’t it the same for the Kouzuki house?

I looked at Ruriko.

The idea of Ruriko, a middle school girl asking Jii-chan, to pay for the expenses of the Matsumoto siblings.

That doesn’t sound credible either.

No. Kou, this is completely different

Mariko said.

It’s the Kouzuki house! The Kouzuki group. Torii house is incomparable when it comes to tradition, prestige, and corporate size. Ruriko-san is their young lady, so people think that she can make things happen, no matter how absurd it is I appeared on TV for situations like this

Ruriko.

Ruriko recently organized her own TV show to introduce the Kouzuki house and the art within the Kouzuki mansion.

Ruriko’s the guide of that show.

Her program appears during prime time and she’s getting favorable reception.

Ruriko plans to make a series of shows in which she introduces the treasures passed down in the homes of various noble families.

I’m using the recognition I gained as Kouzuki Ruriko as an ace card

If the other party knows the face and name of the young lady of the Kouzuki house, then negotiations are easier.

Many would want to be acquainted with the Kouzuki house

Mariko smiled wryly.

As far as I know, most of the people at the top of the major corporations watch Ruriko’s show. Even Father mentions that it’s a topic even among parties. But, that’s only for those big business owners like Torii Electronics, right?

I asked Mariko.

People like them have socialized with the nobility, so they would be interested in a program in which the daughter of the Kouzuki house introduces their treasures, which isn’t usually open to the public

Matsumoto-san’s grandfather runs a drugstore chain.

Is it an industry that can interact with noble families?

That’s not a problem, Matsumoto-san’s grandfather probably doesn’t have contact with the noble families but I’m sure that some of the people at the companies he does business with have relationships with them

Mariko smiled.

In business, they don’t just cut down to the chase. They also do small talks. Then, Ruriko-san’s name will naturally come up. Especially with the people he’s dealing with

Matsumoto Elder may not show interest in the Kouzuki house, but it will be a topic of conversation with other business owners.

If that’s the case, Matsumoto-san’s Grandfather will also tune in to Ruriko’s show to match with the conversation. If he’s a man who started a small drugstore and turned it into a hundred drugstore chain, then naturally, he put on some effort

I see.

Compared to Mariko, who could name herself as the daughter of Torii electronics, despite not being acquainted.

It has more impact to bring Ruriko, a young lady of nobility, the show has appeared on TV.

Oh, so that’s why Kyouko-san’s dressed like that

I figured it out.

Kouzuki house’s Ruriko will show up with the 60+-year-old Kouzuki World Cultural Exchange center employee.

Indeed. Ruriko asked, and so the Kouzuki house is going to pay for the scholarship of the Matsumoto siblings from the Kouzuki house’s world cultural exchange center or something like that

Mariko smiles.

That’s how it will be in reality. Maki-san and Miki-san, don’t worry about your tuition and living expenses now

Ruriko said with a soft smile.

Kouzuki house will shoulder them all

Maki-san, Miki-san, and Igarashi Izumi-san who forcibly came together with the sisters fell silent with a confused look.

I guess the situation isn’t acceptable.

Don’t worry, believe in us

Marika holds Maki-san’s hand with a smile.

Okay, everyone’s wearing their seatbelts? Then let’s depart!

Kinoshita-san says from the driver’s seat.

The black Benz in front of our limousine starts its engine.

The headlights turn on.

The other car has another driver.

Kinoshita-san also starts her engine.

We’re departing!

Our cars went from the mansion to the site without problems.

Ruriko’s the daughter of the Kouzuki house, and she’s going out of town, so the three cars from Kouzuki SS parked outside the mansion came together as an escort.

The police don’t follow us.

They didn’t see Kyouko-san’s disguise.

The police seem to think that it’s a Kouzuki house’s outing, so it had nothing to do with Kyouko Messer.

Onii-sama, you didn’t find time to eat earlier, please enjoy the refreshments in the car

Ruriko hands me some food packs.

Looking at the middle, the sandwich has cheese, ham, and lettuce.

We had our meals while Onii-sama was getting ready

While I was having sex with Karen in the bathroom.

Thanks, who made this?

I asked Ruriko.

Sakurako-oneesama and Kurumi-chan made it

Oh, speaking of which, I saw them in the kitchen.

Luna-chan, Kurose-san too. Mitchi’s share is in the other car

Ruriko hands the two who were with me sandwiches too.

As for drinks, we’re in the car, so I’m sorry for this

She gives me a bottle of black tea.

This was from the leftover pastries made at the mansion, right?

I ask while eating.

Ruriko and the girls made souvenir pastries from the mansion for today’s school festival.

Then, Rei-chan brings over the finished products to school.

They stopped halfway to check on the customers but some of the pastries were already in the oven.

Yes. When Onii-sama told us that it was enough, we still had a lot that was ready to some extent

Ruriko replied.

Agnes-chan and the girls worked hard in the mansion today. Among the new girls, there’s one who progressed quickly

Some of the girl assassins showed interest and made it enthusiastically.

I’ll check later on who joined.

I shouldn’t talk much about the girl assassins in front of Matsumoto-san and her group.

There was the fuss just earlier.

I’ll give my thanks to Agnes and the girls later on

Seriously, because of the fuss right after coming home.

I didn’t even get to thank everyone who helped

Yes. And so, Onii-sama what? Uhm, I’ve packed up some of the extra pastry in bags and gave them to the people in front of the mansion

Ruriko?

You gave some pastry to Kouzuki SS and the police?

We gave away some of the pastries we made at the school festival, Reika-oneesama and Agnesan were with me

Rei-chan, Ruriko, and Agnes?

Huh, why?

It was Agnes-chan’s idea. That it’s better if we give the remaining pastries to the people in front of the mansion

Agnes did that?

And so, they were sending us off with a smile on their face

Ruriko said. I’m surprised.

I didn’t even check on the faces of the police.

I see.

Since Ruriko, who gave them pastries, is going outside.

The police were sending her off with a smile.

I’m sorry for telling you after the event. But, I thought that it was a good suggestion.

Ruriko bows her head.

No, I don’t see the problem. I also think that’s a good idea

Rei-chan’s famous as she’s the ace of Kouzuki SS.

Ruriko’s a young lady of the Kouzuki house.

Then, Agnes, a blonde beauty.

The three of them gave them some hand-baked pastries, so loosen the tension of the police that were monitoring us.

Kouzuki SS people seem happy too.

Not bad.

Also.

Agnes made that suggestion.

Delicious

I bite on the sandwich.

Six months ago, Agnes, who never left the basement before, was completely unaware of the world outside.

I’m happy that Agnes’ heart is growing.

Delicious

Luna tells Kurose Anju who’s sitting next to her.

Yes, I’m a little hungry so this helps

Kurose Anju’s a little nervous, but she’s following the ironclad rules of bodyguards of eating whenever they can.
