Kudou Haruka.Even though she’s her guard, she’s not trusted at all.

The me before is the same

Misuzu said.

However, I do not have aretainer.My father hates the Kouzuki’s old tradition.

I see.Ruriko-san’s father is the eldest son belongs to the enterprise of the Kouzuki family.

Misuzu’s father.if I recall, he’s a high rank bureaucrat in the ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. He must’ve hated the tradition of Kouzuki house descending from an old noble blood. Therefore, he refused to put aretainerfor Misuzu.

I understand. I lived together with Yoshiko since I was three. If Yoshiko-san wasn’t there for me, I would’ve been devastated by the loneliness. It must’ve been very painful for Misuzu-san.

Regardless of her father’s will.Misuzu is KouzukiKakka’sgrand daughter, she had to fight the world as a member of Kouzuki house.

Envy and slander.she has to stand up alone from the self-assertive kindness. It’s very lonely

I am fine. Grandfather helped me out during the most painful times!

Misuzu said then.she writes the wordNagisain my palm

.I see, That’s why KouzukiKakkaentrusted Misuzu to Nagisa He believed that if it’s Nagisa, she’ll heal Misuzu’s loneliness.

Then, I have a lot of people I trust from the bottom of my heart

Misuzu looks at me.

From Nagisa to me. Then.Megu, Nei-san, Margo-san, Mana. Everyone’s Misuzu’sfamily Yukino’s the only one out of place though.

Therefore.Everyone’s Misuzu’sfamily, right?

.Yes! .I envy you

Ruriko-san said.

Ruriko-san, join outfamilytoo!

Mana shouts.

.Mana, it’s impolite to speak suddenly

Megu scolds Mana.

Ah, sorry

Mana bows her head.

.I

Ruriko-san’s already a family however

I said clearly.

Danna-sama?

Ruriko-san is Misuzu’s cousin. Then, she’s family to me. Isn’t that right.Misuzu?

Misuzu looks at my face.

.Yes, Danna-sama

Then, looking at Ruriko-san.

Danna-sama is very reliable. He’s a gentleman. He’ll never betray me. Therefore.he’ll never betray Ruriko-san

.Really?

Ruriko-san looks at me.

Please trust Misuzu’s eyes for people

Misuzu smiles.

That is.I do trust him however

Ruriko-san’s puzzled

I.I’ve always thought of Ruriko-san as my sister

.Misuzu-san? Though we’re cousins.right now, Ruriko-san and I are the only daughters who carry the weight of the Kouzuki house. I’m the position where I know about your suffering and hardships the most! .Yes Please call me Misuzu-oneesan .Misuzu-oneesama2 How does it feel?

Misuzu smiled.

.Then Ruriko-san’s face softens.

It’s strange.Misuzu-san feels much more close than before

It’s Misuzu-oneesan Yes.Onee-sama Then, Danna-sama will be Ruriko-san’s brother. Is that acceptable, Danna-sama? Un.you can rely on me on anything from now on, Ruriko-san

Hearing me.Ruriko-san’s face blushed.

yes.Onii-sama!

Misuzu looks at Yoshiko-san.

Yoshiko-san.that’s how it is. I think this is better so the rumors between Ruriko and I won’t be spread anymore but.

Misuzu worries about Yoshiko-san who’s been Ruriko-san’s long time retainer.

Yes.That’s right. I think that this is good

Yoshiko-san said that but she thought for a while.

There’s no clarity in her words. It seems that she’s doubting if this is Misuzu’s plan to ensnare Ruriko.

As mentioned earlier.I will marry this man. I don’t have any ambition on Kouzuki house. AS usual.I intend to have Ruriko-san as the head of the future Kouzuki house

Misuzu.made it clear that she doesn’t have the ambition to become the owner of Kouzuki house.

I’m grateful to you who have been watching over Ruriko-san since age three. Please stay by Ruriko-san’s side for always. But.I’ve also watched over Ruriko-san since she was born. I am the older cousin of Ruriko-san. I don’t have any relative at close age other than Ruriko-san. I’ve always thought of her as my little sister. The same as me!

Yoshiko-san.

.Please forgive me for my impoliteness

She apologized for doubting Misuzu in her mint even for a moment.

Onee-sama! Misuzu-sama has become my Onee-sama! That’s wonderful! Yoshiko, don’t you think so too?

Ruriko-san smiles happily.

Yes.Ruriko-sama

Yoshiko smiled at her master.

Let’s return to our talk.it would be dangerous to leave Haruka-san as Ruriko-san’s guard. That person is a very shallow person

Misuzu said.

True.I feel like she’s growing to become arrogant

Yoshiko-san who opened up suddenly complained about Haruka-san.

Did she gain confidence after winning the inter high school championship? The media’s been doing what they want featuring he as abeautiful karate girl Today too, she brought four of her friends in Karate club sayingI made a security unit for Ruriko-sama.And yet, she’s not around Ruriko-sama at all

Those four followers are like that?

Today’s Konpeki style presentation would have a lot of celebrities coming after all.

Misuzu sighs.

Yes.she came in a suit trying to make herself look good in front of those people

So that pink pant suit was for that?

She’s really a small shot or rather, she’s childish. Misuzu speaks to Ruriko-san.

If she continues to grow like that, it’s clear that she’ll make a blunder and disgrace Ruriko-san sooner or later. We’ll have Haruka-san concentrate on Karate and retire from being Ruriko-san’s guard

However, would that obstinate one easily quit? That person boasts about being Ruriko-sama’s guard

Yoshiko-san asks in worry.

Boasting.she must be thinking that it’s astatus Nevertheless.she’s neglecting her job which is to protect her master.

It’s okay. Earlier.I made Haruka-san acknowledge to have a duel with Michi due to her impoliteness towards us

Haruka-san and Michi-san will have a duel?

Ruriko-san’s surprised.

.Yes. I will fight with Aneue

Michi answers with determined eyes.

Her hands continue folding the pamphlet properly. By the way, the only one’s working at this stage are. Michi, Megu, Nei-san and Margo-san only? Mana’s fascinated in listening to our talk. Her eyes are sparkling. She’s interested in the circumstances of the other houses. Nei-san doesn’t cut any corners. She’s a serious person to the root. Though her ears are tilted this way, she’s moving her hand properly. Megu’s a too serious of a child so she’s working silently. Even if she hear the circumstances of Kouzuki family, it’s clear for her that it’s impossible for her to do anything about it. Margo-san.she’s working while listening properly. She’s a person who can do two things at the same time. While moving her hand, her head is calmly analyzing the current situation. I’m together with Misuzu so I feel that it’s rude to Ruriko-san if I’m working on something so.sorry but I stopped my hands. Then, Yukino’s just staring on top of the desk absentmindedly. Why am I here?her face says. That feeling.well, I can understand it.

If she lost to her little sister, Michi and broke her nose.Haruka-san will stop her arrogance. She’ll notice that she’s not suited to be a guard then concentrate only the world of Karate. We intend to thoroughly corner her!

Misuzu told her cute cousin.

.Michi-san can win against Haruka-san?

Yoshiko-san’s surprised.

It’s not unreasonable. Michi and Haruka-san have their age and physique completely different. Haruka-san’s strength in Karate is also known. She has never seen Michi fight with Kudou style I guess.

Yes. Michi will win overwhelmingly

Misuzu declared.

Oh.so it’s a duel

Ruriko-san agrees.

It’ll be fine, Yoshiko. If it’s a duel, Haruka-san doesn’t have a winning chance

.Ruriko-sama? .Haruka-san came to guard me with such shoes after all
