She thinks that I knew Misuzu was a member of Kouzuki house and that I seduced her.
When I first met Misuzu, I didn’t knew which house she was born in at all
I poke honestly.
Even know.I don’t know Kouzuki house well. I think that’s fine. I came to like Misuzu, not Kouzuki house
Misuzu smiled at me.
Danna-sama.your hairstyle today is wonderful!
Oh, this?I thought that Misuzu would like it so I had Katsuko-nee fix it .As I thought
Misuzu leans her body to me.
.I love you, Danna-sama
.Misuzu.
Misuzu turned towards Margo-san, Nei-san, Megu and Mana.
I’ll ask everyone too. If ever I were to be expelled from Kouzuki house.will you allow Misuzu to live by Danna-sama’s side?
Misuzu asks looking at each and every eyes.
I don’t mind it at all! It’s fun to have thefamilyincrease!
Nei-san took the lead.
I am in that standpoint after all. If Misuzu would join in, I would be pleased to welcome you
Megu said.
When you talk about that, Mana’s the same too. Mana only has Onii-chan as her place to go after all. I’m completely okay
Mana answers.
I don’t know about Minaho’s opinion but.as an individual, I welcome you. I like Misuzu’s personality and talent much more than her family. If you go to his side, then of course, you’d be helping out in ourjobright?
Margo-san asks.
Yes, of course!
Misuzu answered with a smile.
Uhm.Misuzu-sama
Michi speaks up shyly.
Whatever the situation it may be.I will be escorting Misuzu-sama for the rest of my life. I will accompany you everywhere!
If Misuzu is disowned by KouzukiKakka
Misuzu and Michi would become members ofKuromori? the smart and sociable Misuzu. Michi who has a special fighting ability. It would be great if the two of them becomes formal members, .But. KouzukiKakkaisn’t that generous to allow that. She might confine Misuzu and separate her from me. No, he might just kill me. For KouzukiKakka, the life of a man like me is just worthless. Is it okay forKuromorito be hostile against KouzukiKakka?
You won’t ask that person?
Ruriko-san points at Yukino
.Eh, Me
Yukino’s surprised.
If I recallKiirode Kuroko-san, was it?
Yoshiko-san asks, Yukino;
.Kishima Kuroko!
No, you’re Shirasaka Yukino.
Or rather, you’re proudly calling yourself with that false name? Did she like it unexpectedly?
Right.how about we ask Kuroko-san as well?
Misuzu looks at Yukino.
Ah.I.
Yukino’s confused.
I.don’t mind it. Just do what you want.you two. Either way, you already thought what I would say!
Yes. Then, we’ll do as we like!
Misuzu answered Yukino with a smile.
Ruriko-san stares at Misuzu.
Understood, Misuzu-san.please leave the future of Kouzuki house to me
Her face is cheerful.
I am very happy. Misuzu-san who’s been holding back at everything for the sake of Kouzuki house has decided to make her happiness first. With this.I don’t have any more regrets
.Regrets?
I will live as grandfather desires. I’ll dedicate my life to Kouzuki house. As long as I can see Misuzu-san happy.I’m satisfied
.Wait
Hey.wait a moment?1
Ruriko-san.are you okay with that?
I asked instinctively.
Yes. I am a daughter born under Kouzuki house after all!
Ruriko-san replied with a smile that has no hesitation.
In the first place, I am the daughter of the eldest son of Kouzki Shigetaka, Kouzuki Shigeaki Receiving the legitimate blood, I’ve been prepared to take over the next generation Kouzuki house since I was born
That’s right.this girl’s the eldest son’s daughter.
Misuzu’s the second son’s daughter. The current head of Kouzuki house, Kouzuki ShigetakaKakka.has no other grandchildren. Ruriko-san and Misuzu are supposed to be fighting on succession. When you talk about blood, it’s orthodox that Ruriko-san would be succeeding.
Misuzu-san, you’re very beautiful, you’re abundant in talents.among the clan, I do know that there are people who say thatthey don’t know who would succeed between Misuzu-san and I I know that there are people who plan to divide the Kouzuki family into two by letting Misuzu-san and I fight on succession. Actually.they purposely whisper bad things on my ear so Misuzu-san and I would have discord.
Ruriko-san’s eyes looks sad.
I, of course .don’t believe those hearsays. I’ve known Misuzu-san from childhood very well.I admire her as a cousin
I also love you, Ruriko-san Thank you very much. But.the people who speak selfishly just keeps on increasing. The cruel rumors spread, then a lot of people on my side misunderstands. They really think that Misuzu-san is fighting with me.
.Oh, that person?
Earlier.Haruka-san has caused trouble with Misuzu-san, I think that’s the reason. I understand. Haruka-san is just loyal to me.I am very sorry
Ruriko-san bows her head.
Raise your head. Don’t mind Haruka-san. We will be dealing with her properly
Misuzu said.
.Deal with her?
Ruriko-san looks at Misuzu.
I’ve thought that Haruka-san’s not fit to be a bodyguard for a long time. That person was first recommended to be my guard but I declined it and chose Michi
Yes. Then, Haruka-san became my guard
.I see.
Kudou Haruka’s a third year in high school. Nromally, Normally, she should take care of Misuzu who’s a second year in high school. When they do that, she can guard her even at school. And yet.Misuzu rejected Kudou Haruka. Therefore, Michi who’s in third year middle school protects Misuzu who’s older. Then that would mean that originally, Michi is supposed to protect Ruriko-san who’s in the same third year middle school.
That is why Haruka-san has a grudge against me. To some extent, that is the reason why she’s treating Michi and I badly. It has nothing to do with Ruriko-san
Misuzu bows her head to Ruriko-san.
Not at all. Though she’s older, Haruka-san is still under me. I sincerely apologize for Haruka-san’s impoliteness
No, no, it’s my fault.I wasn’t able to remonstrate Haruka-san who’s the same age as me. Misuzu and Ruriko-sama didn’t do anything wrong. Yoshiko will take all of the responsibilities
Yoshiko-san joined in and the three had a tournament on lowering their heads.
But, it will be okay now. I am thinking of having Haruka-san quit her bodyguard job!
Misuzu said.
Haruka-san should better concentrate as a Karate athlete. That person’s an athlete, she doesn’t have the sensibility fit for a guard
She’ll cut her down.
That is.I think so too. Haruka-san should devote herself in Karate.
Yoshiko-san said.
Actually.even now, she takes more time in her Karate practice, she’s been neglecting to guard Ruriko-sama.
Yes, Michi-san guards me when in school
.Eh, Michi protects Ruriko-san?
Thank you for always
Ruriko-san bows her head to Michi.
That is because we’re classmates. It’s natural to protect a close classmate. Especially, Misuzu-sama didn’t give such instructions likeprotect Ruriko-sama!
Seriously, this warrior girl is bad at lying.
I see.Misuzu has sent Michi in stead of Kudou Haruka who’s busy at Karate instead of work. Michi kept guarding Ruriko-san who’s always with her in the school.
I know the best how the school feels very suffocating for people of Kouzuki.
Misuzu tells her two year younger cousin.
Yes. You need to be in a generous attitude so you won’t receiver any slander from anyone. You mustn’t be very intimate with anyone as well
If you become intimate with the successor of the Kouzuki family.others would be jealous of that person.
Therefore, Ruriko-san has to treat everyone around her equally. .She can’t have a close friend.
The only one I can trust from the bottom of my heart is only Yoshiko.
Ruriko-san smiled at Yoshiko-san, her retainer.
