Kakka’swords has stunned the Shirasaka lawyer.
.It will be noon before long. You should be going. A cruel game about double-dealing, stealing a march, betrayal, slaughter, anything. Shirasaka Moritsugu-kun will have fun and enjoying this kind of game as much as I do!
The voice of Kakkacoming from the speaker is laughing.
Ichikawa-kun.Well, it’s possible that you will make a call with Shirasaka-kun after this but.I don’t mind even if you betray me. As long as you’re prepared for a retaliation.
Mr. Ichikawa.
please don’t be absurd. I merely obey Kouzuki-sama’s instructions. I won’t make a call with Moritsugu-kun.My daughter as well
.I’m really thankful if you do. Well, I’m expecting it .yes!
Mr. Ichikawa rubs his forehead on the floor.
Then.dismissed. Are you fine with that.Minaho-kun?
Yes.Thank you for the troubles. Kakka
Minaho-neesan bows her head to the voice too.
You have proven that you are sincere and competent human for these past 12 years. I highly evaluate your talent.By the way
Kakka.says
.You do intend to close the brothel by all means?
Minaho-neesan.
That is my dream
.That’s regrettable. I thought that you can rebuild Kuromori tower. I don’t have such power .Well fine.Let’s talk about it tomorrow. It will be a consultation about you and your organization .Yes, Kakka
Mr. Kouzuki wants Minaho-neesan to continue the brothel.
And.She intends to intervene with the future of Kuromorias well.
Then, everyone.spend a fun afternoon!
Then.Kakka’svoice stopped.
Minaho-neesan speaks first.
.Katsuko.please send Ichikawa-sama back. I will be taking a look down there
.Certainly
Katsuko-nee answers.
We’re watching the situation at the lower room.
.What will happen to us?
When I say that absentmindedly.
There’s no helping even if we think about it now.Don’t mind it!
Is what Nei-san answered.
But.aren’t you worried?
But.there’s nothing we can do right? Just leave it to Sensei. That’s why she’s our leader! I know that, but. At this times, we just have to let Sensei do the small worries and we should just smile. That’s all we can do!
Nei-san said while smiling.
That’s right.it is as Nei-san says. Coming this far.this isn’t on the level we can do anything. What we can only do is to not let Minaho-neesan worry.
.Hey, Mana. Isn’t it about time for you to calm down?
I talk to Mana who I’ve been hugging all this time.
.yeah. Onii-chan
Mana’s still unsettled, but.she’s calmer than a while ago.
There’s a bathroom back there so.Yo-chan and Mana-chan, go and take a bath
Nei-san said.
This monitoring room has been made so one can barricade anytime.
I think Katsun’s going to come back soon.Then, Mana will help me and Katsun make lunch!
Nei-san is really kind.
Yes.Nei-san
Mana replied.
.Mana, go ahead and take hot bath
I ordered Mana
.Yes , Onii-chan
Mana.answered me Slave-like
Ah, I’ll guide you around
Nei-san sticks with Mana.
I wore my underwear and pants then go to Margo-san. Margo-san is already investigating something on the computer.
.What do you want to talk about?
Margo-san smiles at me.
Uhm.I’d like to hear Margo-san’s opinion on why Mana’s grandfather and the two are in such a horrible state
.That’s right.
Minaho-neesan cut off all the routes of cooperators in the underground society. Even though they’re in a situation where they don’t have anything, why can’t they break their arrogant attitude? They thought they can make us submit with just a verbal promise amounting 40 million yen. Above all.They’re completely negligent of Mana’s safety. Those people are on top of a big company. I thought people in those position are more careful and reliable.
.Mr. Ichikawa was a obotchan1 of a good house. Since the beginning
Margo-san answers.
He joined the advertising company that his father founded.and he was a director in the company when he entered thirties. It was a literal elite life
Is elite bad? It doesn’t matter if you were an elite, but.he became an adult that’s not scolded by people
Scolded by people?
This is what the priest on the facility said.People become impossible to be scolded by others when they grow up That is why you have to be scolded with affection while you are young.and you must not forget that experience
You have to be scolded with affection?
You do know the difference ofTelling someone offfromScolding someone2?
Ah.Yes. Telling someone off is about getting mad and yelling emotionally.to scold someone is thinking about the other side, preaching and talking about the subject, is that right?
I.think that way.
Well, you’re right.When I was a child.the adults gather and drink at night in the Indian settlement. Then, badmouthing about the people not there will begin. He’s uselessor He doesn’t get the work They speak precisely and accurately about when and what behavior is wrong at all times. I was listening from the side and I was wondering why don’t they tell them directly .Not tell them directly?
Hmm.there are those who speaks out complains when there’s a fight, but.it’s not a bad idea to call one out and say You’re bad at this, so you better fix it .Why?
You should just tell the person if there’s something that you think is bad.
You see.That’s the adult society
Margo-san smiles.
Scolding someone is something you never do in the adult world as long as there’s no affection or fellowship to the other party. If you say something unnecessary, you’ll just be in trouble with the other party. It’s stupid to poke your nose on all of the troublesome things. It just invites unnecessary troubles. Therefore people don’t like that. Even though they think it’s better to correct it, everyone just shuts themselves up. Even if it’s a direct boss, as long as you don’t suffer direct damage from that person.don’t tell the person himself, endure it. Then just backstab that person on tables with alcohol.
.Is that how it is?
Ichikawa-san has entered the company as the son of the top.He’s still young to be a director.a president, right THere has never been an adult to scold Ichikawa-san like his parents
Then.Why did it become like earlier? Ichikawa-san knew that Mana-chan has been taken hostage and Shirasaka Sousuke is bound by us.Why do you think he thought and acted everything all on his own? .Err, I don’t understand Ichikawa-san have consulted various people.his employees, subordinates, his own lawyers, the big people in the crime organizations he depends on.I can grasp the general people he contacts
.Is that so?
But.Those people don’t listen to Ichikawa-san kindly. They only have a business relationship to the end. It’s not about how they deal with the situation.how should I say it, Ichikawa-san speaks when he gets in a good mood. Then, he strayed off.
.i see.
Nobody must’ve told him thatMake the rescue of your grandchild as your top priority, take a modest approach and don’t throw everything Since Ichikawa-san thinks that we’re only a lump of prostitutes, he got angry about us doing what we want, so he’ll say. They’re not a big deal, let’s just threaten them a bit If it’s not just one or two.Ichikawa-san will gradually be convincedthat’s how it is.
So he came here without any defense but their arrogance?
Even if he was worried about Mana-chan in the beginning, when the people around him say They won’t make a move on the hostageor They should be afraid of Ichikawa-san’s powerhe’ll stop worrying and think that it’s okay. Well, that is Minaho’s strategy though.
.Eh? Yesterday.when Mana-chan called Ichikawa-san.we ate dinner at the hotel and aimed to relax a little. Mana-chan’s voice was bright at that time so Ichikawa-san had the wrong judgement that there’s nothing to worry about Mana-chan.
