But still.that’s a lot of money.
If it’s the foreigners that attacked earlier, they can easily mobilize hundreds of people.
With this.I’ve understood the gist of why Miss Cordelia approached us
Minaho-neesan thinks
But still.I think them purposely greeting us that way and talking about her having somethingborrowedfrom Kyouko-san is true.
Margo-san answers with a dark face.
But, we don’t know if Miss Cordelia’sborrowisFavororgrudge. Either way.the number of enemies have increased
We trembled.
But.why is Kyouko-san’s name not on the list?
Katsuko-nee who’s been looking at the list all this time asked.
Speaking of which.Kyouko Dothnomecheythe name that’s most famous in the underworld is missing.
Could it be that Shirasaka Moritsugu failed to notice her?
Megu said.
No.Shirasaka Moritsugu knows that Kyouko-san is the guard ofKuromori
Minaho-neesan said
Right.Kyouko-san’s been the guard ofKuromorieven before Margo-san and Katsuko-nee joined. There’s no way Shirasaka Moritsugu is unaware.
I can only think of Miss Cordelia negotiating with Shirasaka Moritsugu to remove her on the list
Margo-san concluded.
Eh?Why?
I don’t know the reason
Why did she do it.even I don’t know
.Then
Isn’t that obvious?
Yukino speaks up.
That person’s not ajob.but a personal kill target?
.Yukino, you?
.Un. Yukino-san might be right
Margo-san agrees.
There’s nothing else possible!
No.Uhm
Yukino, do you understand your own position?
Haa.Somehow, I’ve gotten hungry
.Yukino, Yukino-san?
Even if you think about it, nothing’s going to change. Either way, whatever happens will happen!
Sometimes, I’m envious of Yukino’s thick nerves just like climbing mountain ropes.
Margo-san laughs.
Right.Yukino-san’s right. I think we can trust Miss Cordelia’s promise that they won’t attack the theater nor raise an incident until after 8. However, it’s not only the three of them, endless spies have invaded
Right. Miss Cordelia said.
Even if the attack starts at 8.the agents would be sneaking before. As soon as it’s 8PM.there’s a possibility of the person next to me being shot and killed.
Well.there’s only Kouzuki security service and the child’s guards here now but, The venue would be gathering more and more guards from each respective houses
Katsuko-nee said.
Right, before the opening time.various families would be coming here starting with KouzukiKakka Of course.the VIPs would be having top level guards. The safety of the venue rises.
Everyone, try to be together as much as possible. Don’t separate from each other. Don’t approach people you think suspicious even for a bit. When you feel something strange then report to Minaho or me immediately.okay?
Margo-san said.
.We know!
No.Yukino.
What are you to us again? I’m getting even more worried.
Should we report Miss Cordelia’s matter to Kouzuki security service?
Katsuko-nee asks Margo-san.
No.they’re using IDs from American commerce department, director Yamaoka can’t deal with it. Those three are special. I don’t think the agents would be using the same method. Rather, I think it’s better to let Kudou-san know it. That person will be checking on the people coming to visit from US government today
.Michi-san, where do you think your father is right now?
Katsuko-nee asks Michi.
I think that father will be flying around the theater anyway.1 Norma-san’s in the front entrance so I think you should call her instead
Yeah.we should stop going out of the theater.
Got it.I’ll contact her
Please.Katsuko
Katsuko-nee bows to Minaho-neesan and head towards the entrance.
Now then.what should we do?
Margo-san asks Minaho.
Then.Misuzu speaks.
Uhm.I should prepare for mydress rehearsalsoon!
O-Oh right.
She has to change costumes.
Un. You’re going to the dressing room right?
Yes. Does everyone want to join in?
Now then.what to do?
Right.Megumi and Mana-san should be with Misuzu-san for a while if possible
Minaho-neesan said
Why?
I asked.
That’s the safest place in the theater right now. There are girls doing practice independently outside but most of the performers are in the dressing room, right?
I see.the guards who protect the performers should be in the dressing room too.
Yes, that’s why everyone should go there
Misuzu said.Minaho-neesan;
That’s not going to happen. Today’s performers are small children, aren’t they? Shouldn’t the guardians come along, not just the guards?
Yes, I think there are some It would be fine if it’s their mother but.if it’s the father, they’ll know our faces!
Ah.They might be customers ofKuromori
At such places.furthermore, before the opening time, it would be bad to see Minaho-neesan’s face.
Therefore, we’ll stay in the lobby for a while
Okay, then I’ll go there too If Maru-chan’s there then me too!
.Nei-san?
You see, Maru-chan’s the safest place for me!
Nei-san said and smiled.
What’s left is Michi, Yukino, and Me.
Yukino-san.I think she shouldn’t come to the dressing room
Misuzu said.
.Why?
Her look.is indeed strange
True
Yukino’s wearing a yellow-and-black construction dress. It’s definitely not vulgar clothing but. No matter how you look at it, it’s a girl weak in the head. Her hobby is too bad.it stand out too much.
Besides.Today, Takabayashi Sayaka-san is here?
.No way?
Hearing Misuzu, Yukino raised her voice.
.Who’s that?
It’s Yukino-san’s classmate in middle school
Mana told me.
She’s been talking about Yukino-san in the dressing room since lunch time. I’ve come to play in Shirasaka Sousuke-san’s houseshe said.she’s always been talking about the arrangement of the house and even the snacks served
Misuzu smiled wryly.
Shirasaka Sousuke’s a director on a leading advertising agency. As a member of Shirasaka family.Yukino even attended an Ojou-sama school until middle school. It’s not strange if she’s acquainted with a pupil of Konpeki style school.
.That woman
Yukino made a bitter face.
Then, it’s better not to show your face
No matter how disguised she is.Yukino’s former classmate will be able to identify her identity.
Mana, is it okay to meet her?
Maika-san has never met that person even once.in the first place, Mana isn’t Maika-san!
Mana said then smiled.
It’s okay. I’ll be with you
Megu said.
Danna-sama, what about you?
.I
.What should I do? .Then Several people come this way. Kanako-san who asked us to work on the pamphlets is walking ahead. Behind her. Kudou Haruka’s four followers.
Sorry.I had to take off my costume after thedress rehearsal!
Kanako-san who changed to her practice Yukata came back breathing roughly.
The clothes today were borrowed from the headmaster so I can’t let it get dirty
Kanako-san wiped her sweat with a small hand towel then said.
My.are you done already? I’m sorry, Misuzu-san and her guests did everything!
It’s not just us. Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san came to help out too Really?I’m very sorry Don’t mind it
On behalf of everyone.I spoke to Kanako-san.
We’re Misuzu’s familyafter all
Hearing what I said.Kanako-san’s surprised.
Misuzu-san.could it be, this person?
Ah.shit
Kanako-san seems to have misunderstood me as Misuzu’s secretfiance
It’s not.Kanako-san
Misuzu.
This one isn’t thefiancegrandfather has decided on me.
Megu and Mana pats my back.
.Eh?
This is Misuzu-san’s territory Un.it can’t be helped
