We’ve got a lot of options. Also, Kyouko-san is an expert on this kind of underground work!
Margo-san seems to trust Kyouko-san who’s her master from the bottom of her heart.
Or rather.KyoukoDothnomechey seems to really exists1 I’ve been doubting all of Margo-san’s words.that’s trouble. I don’t know what’s real or fantasy anymore.2
.Are there any more suggestions from Ichikawa-sama and Shirasaka house?
Minaho-neesan faces old man Ichikawa and the two inside the principal’s office.
Indeed.that’s all our proposals so far
Old man Ichikawa answered while glaring at Minaho-neesan.
.Certainly.I admit that our proposals weren’t so smart. Either way, it seems that you totally outwit us. However, you haven’t suppressed all the power in the underground society. If we give them money, there are surprisingly a lot of people who will do it!
Old man Ichikawa still threatens Minaho-neesan even this late.
You’re right.we know that it’ll be disadvantageous for us if it takes time. Our funds are limited.
Minaho-neesan answers laughingly.
Indeed.at this current stage, we thought about our appearances and weren’t able to do the minimum. We never expected you people would oppose using money and work. I’ve understood that you’re a competent game player. You win the first round. But, the match is just starting.We won’t hold back anymore!
Old man Ichikawa says that but.I can see the impatience in his eyes.
His sweating around his neck.
At such times.his talkativeness is a proof that he lost. Remember that.at any time, respond calmly, with short words, and quietly pressing and killing your emotions. You must not think Keep calm On the contrary, you will be impatient and talkative. You’re just going to tell unecessary words to the opponent.and you will let them know your psychological state. Short and quiet voice.Just concentrate on those. Just like Minaho right now.
Margo-san tells me.
Old Man Ichikawa continues to talk desperately while sweating inside the screen.
Listen.you should think about this very carefully.If Shirasaka-kun and I seriously make a move, this situation can easily be reversed. We are in a position where we can benefit the underground society for a long time. We can bear the shame and ask help from political and business circles. We also have a close relationship with Mass media and judiciary industry!
Compared to that.Minaho-neesan’s having a cool face.
Yes.you’re righty. Therefore, I acted thinking that the match will only be for 12 hours!
Minaho-neesan smiled coldy!
To me. I can see the game is already done.
.Well fine. Then, let’s hear your proposal. How will you return Maika and Sousuke-kun to us? Let me hear your conditions.how much do you want? What should we do? We’ll follow it depending on your request. You can even make me talk to Shirasaka-kun!
But still.Old Man Ichikawa tries to rule this place by somehow looking from above.
Ufufu.we’re not offering a single condition!
Minaho-neesan’s cold words.
Startled old man Ichikawa!
.Then.The negotiations break down and we’ll rush to the second round?
.Minaho-neesan.
Ahahahaha.There’s no second round!This will be the last time I will talk with Ichikawa-sama!
.what do you mean by that?
Old man Ichikawa shouted in a loud voice!
Minaho-neesan answered calmly.
We don’t intend to negotiate with Ichikawa-sama nor Shirasaka house since the beginning!
.What.did you say? I just needed the 12 hours to negotiate with another person!
Minaho-neesan stands up and heads to the machine next to the principal’s office desk.
That’s like a broadcast machine for notifying the whole school. A microphone is coming out of the machine. Minaho-neesan pushed the switch. And talked to the microphone.
.It is as you see. Kakka3
K-Kakka?
Then.I hear a dignified voice of an old man from the big speaker inside the principal’s office!
.It seems that Ichikawa-kun and Shirasaka house has no capability to clean themselves. !
who’s this voice?4
I feel a strong will that’s likely to control people with his voice alone.
.I’ve been listening since the beginning!
Old man Ichikawa got irritates from the low voice.
.Who is this person eavesdropping from us? knowing that I am Ichikawa Shinichiro and you have been rude!
The voice answered from the speaker.
I do not think this is rude. The way you have responded after summoned to this situation is the one rude to the world!
Old man Ichikawa raises a voice entrusted to anger!
Who are you.reveal yourself!
The voice answered.
.Ichikawa-kun, It’s me5 Kouzuki Shigetaka!
.Kouzuki?
Misuzu’s grandfather?
.Didn’t I say Kakka eariler?
Minaho-neesan laughs at old man Ichikawa.
.Kakka? I look at Margo-san.
.Kouzuki-san was appointed as an ambassador of Japan in UK when he was young. In Japan, we give ambassadors a title of Kakka That’s why.even now, Kouzuki-san is called Kakkaby his close friends!
is that so?
A historically noble family from before Meiji era.a big shot in the political and economic world.a former UK ambassador. Isn’t he an extremely powerful person!
.is this really Kakka?
Mr. Ichikawa turned pale immediately.
Ichikawa-kun.do you remember when you were young.when I told you that imagination and inspiration is what business owners need?
The voice from the speaker says
yes.I remember!
Your imagination and inspiration seems to be completely inferior to Minaho-kun who’s right there!
Mana’s mother look at old man Ichikawa.
.Father, is this true?
Mr. Ichikawa.
.There’s no doubt. This is Kouzuki-sensei
.my!
The Shirasaka lawyer behind also turned pale.
Does Misuzu’s grandfather hold power that’s beyond old man Ichikawa and Shirasaka house?
Ichikawa-kun.Minaho-kun should’ve told you enough information. But.you were too fixated about your house’s honor that you missed something important.
The voice from the speaker criticizes old man Ichikawa.
Me.important?
Old man Ichikawa opens his mouth absentmindedly.
He looks like he doesn’t get it.
.Minaho-kun, please explain
.Yes, Kakka
Minaho-neesan turned to Mr. Ichikawa and the two.
I’ve clearly told Ichikawa-sama yesterday during the phone call. Mr. Shirasaka Sousuke has betrayed us.and tried to hand over our customer list to crime syndicates!
Minaho-neesan smiles.
well, I know that.That’s why you’re trying to kill Sousuke-kun, right?
Mr. Ichikawa answers Minaho-neesan like that!
As expected.you do not understand anything. Mr. Shirasaka Sousuke didn’t betray just us people of Kuromori brothel!
The voice from the speaker continues from what Minaho-neesan said.
Have you not thought that Shirasaka Sousuke using the Kuromori brothel is a betrayal to the customers?
Old man.is trembling intensely.
.Kuromori brothel.was founded by Minaho-kun’s grandfather shortly after the war. It was a refined brothel which targets the leading figures in Japan political and financial circle and high-ranking US military officers. The women in the mansion weren’t only young and beautiful, they’re holding deep education and elegant character.they always prepare the best dishes and music Kouzuki Kakka.knows the best times of Kuromori tower
He was a guest of the mansion at those times.
From the time of defeat to the high economic growth, Kuromori tower is a social gathering place for representatives of Japan.it is a status to enter and exit the mansion. It’s not just for embracing a woman. There were a lot of people attending the Kuromori tower to associate with the high class people. Some regular member must’ve taken you there while you were still young?
Old man Ichikawa.answers while trembling.
yes. i was taken by Mr. Sugiuchi who was the president Sakizaki about twice. But.it has nothing to do with the prostitutes!
