Minaho-neesan stares at Mana’s mother.

Mana’s mother.turned her eyes to Minaho-neesan.

.Youko, apologize to Kuromori-san

Old man Ichikawa tells his daughter.

But father. Why do I have to!

Chose your words! Maika’s a hostage here!

The old man scolds his daughter severely!

We’re in a bad position.now, Youko!

Ordered by her father.Mana’s mother reluctantly lowers her head.

I’ve gone a bit too far.I’m sorry

The tone of Mana’s mother doesn’t have any apology at all.

.Let me speak for my daughter. We admit that we overlooked Sousuke-kun. I’m very sorry

Mr. Ichikawa also bows to Minaho-neesan.

I understand that they’re not apologizing from the bottom of their heart.

Anyway.please sit down. We can’t talk while standing.

Minaho-neesan suggested Mr. Ichikawa and his daughter to take a seat.

Mr. Ichika took his seat. Minaho-neesan sits on the principal’s desk too.

.Katsuko, please prepare tea for Ichikawa-sama

.Certainly

Katsuko-nee has already prepared tea.

She puts the tea before Mr. Ichikawa.

.I’m also one of the female raped by Shirasaka Sousuke-san. Abducted and confined when I was 16, forced to prostitution!

Katsuko-nee tells Mr. Ichikawa while smiling.

Those eyes were cold.

.By the way.who’s the other person? I should’ve called for Ichikawa-sama and his daughter only.

Minaho-neesan’s eyes head to the other man wearing a suit.

The man bows his head.

I’m very sorry.I’m Shirasaka Koutarou. I’m a lawyer that belongs to Ohata-sensei’s office who’s Shirasaka’s legal adviser, I’m a lawyer

Minaho-neesan looks at Mr. Ichikawa.

.What do you intend to do bringing a lawyer here?

The lawyer answers instead of Mr. Ichikawa.

No.I’m a lawyer but.A person of the head of Shirasaka house. I came here to represent the Shirasaka family.

.Shirasaka family’s.representative?

Does that mean.the current head of Shirasaka family, a representative of Mr. Shirasaka Moritsugu?

Minaho-neesan’s word made the lawyer wipe his forehead sweat with a handkerchief.

No.That’s not the case

You shouldn’t be able to represent the Shirasaka house without Mr. Shirasaka Moritsugu’s will, am I wrong?

Minaho-neesan shoots the lawyer with cold eyes.

Well.you see. The head, Moritsugu-sama, is currently very emotional.he’s not in a state where he can make a calm judgement

his lawyer came here ignoring the head of the family?

The members of Shirasaka family apart from Moritsugu have reached the same opinion. Therefore.there is no problem to think that our opinion is the opinion of the Shirasaka family. Either way, Moritsugu-sama will accept it eventually!

Minaho-neesan raised a laughter.

Isn’t the opinion of Mr. Moritsugu, the head of the Shirasaka family is absolute? I heard it’s that kind of house!

Well.that is! Shirasaka’s family business isn’t just owning the newspaper.they’re a major shareholder of all group companies, is it not? Yes.indeed, our house is united around Moritsugu-sama. But, this time is a big problem related to the survival of the house. Mr. Moritsugu will absolutely be persuaded by us. I’d like you to believe us

.That’s

Why would we believe words coming out of Shirasaka house?

Well fine.let’s talk about the opinion of the family apart from the head for now

The lawyer starts talking when Minaho-neesan said that.

First.Shirasaka house will banish Mr. Shirasaka Sousuke. We do not mind what happens to Mr. Sousuke

.That means that Shirasaka house abandons Shirasaka Sousuke, is that correct?

Mana.raised anuuvoice

Shirasaka house has cut ties with Mana’s father.

Yes. However.we would like Mr. Sousuke to be returned to Shirasaka house temporarily

.What do you mean? No, it doesn’t mean anything, but.Mr. Sousuke is currently abroad, am I wrong? Yes.in australia. She’s confined by our companion Then, could you please return her to Shirasaka family at the time he comes back? Then, we will hand him over after that

.That’s just

.Can you agree with that? What’s the logic?

Making such promises.You do intend to dispose of Mr. Sousuke within the Shirasaka family!

.Eh?

.Dispose? Do they intend to kill him! By the hands of his own Shirasaka family!

.No, we do not have such intentions.it’s just a formality. Please return Mr. Shirasaka Sousuke.for the face of Shirasaka family

.The lawyer speaks unreasonably.

Also.we would like for you to hand over Yamamine Megumi as well

.Megu?

Yamamine Megumi is a member of our clan.I’m very sorry for the troubles she have caused. We will take responsibility for it.

The lawyer’s face is expressionless.

It’s as if she’s giving Megu a death sentence.

.Yoshi-kun

Megu holds my hand strongly.

Don’t worry.I’m here with you!

I embrace Megu’s body.

Oh.you intend to lock her in a local house somewhere.do you intend to keep Megumi until she dies?

No, no, that is not our intention.we’ll educate her well with our hands and have her marry a house that is right for her!

A house that is right for her.

.We don’t have Moritsugu-sama’s approval but, it is a consensus of Shirasaka family. We want you to believe that. I have prepared a signed memorandum as well

The lawyer took out a piece of paper from his bag.

Even making a signed memorandum. There’s no way it can take effect if the head doesn’t approve. .They’re underestimating us .They’re making a fool of us. We. Kuromori. Just saying groundless things and thinks that we’ll do as what Shirasaka family wants.

Seriously.we’re being disrespected

Margo-san muttered.

Nei-san too.

Oh god.Sensei’s seriously angry!

Minaho-neesan smiles darkly.

.In the end.you’re thinking of that. Shirasaka Sousuke, Megumi.you plan to bury it in the dark! Once it disappears, Shirasaka family won’t be damaged

The lawyer.

Getting straight to the point.that is correct. Please do not underestimate the power of Shirasaka family. We can control media freely. You do know that right?

The lawyer laughs.

They don’t intend to concede here in the first place. .Dammit!

I will promise of it instead of Moritsugu-kun. We will return Sousuke-kun. You can trust my promise

Old Man Ichikawa speaks calmly.

This people don’t understand their own position at all. They think that people like us cannot go against the nobles like Shirasaka house and Ichikawa house!

1. The raw states ‘Shirasaka’

Chapter 139

139. Negotiation 2

Of course.we’re not saying it’s for free

A member of Shirasaka family.the lawyer Shirasaka Koutarou tells Minaho-neesan.

.How about 30 million yen?

Margo-san smiles wryly while looking at the monitor.

.Too cheap. It’s completely out of question!

.Right.

I don’t get it though.

We’ll pay 15 million in advance.and another 5 Million in return of Maika-san and Yamamine Megumi-san.When Mr. Shirasaka Sousuke has returned, we will split up the remaining 10 million. How is it? I don’t think it’s a bad deal for you!

I’ll make it 10 million for Maika. How about now?

Mr. Ichikawa joins the lawyer too.

In total.40 million yen, you won’t be dissatisfied with it either!

Hearing Mr. Ichikawa’s selfish remarks.Minaho-neesan finally started to laugh!

Fufu.Kukukuku. !

.What’s wrong?

Mr. Ichikawa pressures Minaho-neesan with strong eyes.

But.Minaho-neesan.

No, but you see.I never thought that Shirasaka house and Ichikawa house are just like this!

.What do you mean by that?

Minaho-neesan smiles coldly and speaks to Mr. Ichikawa.
