Do you think that will happen?

Misuzu asks.

Even if we gain time for now.don’t you think that Ruriko-san and myfiance’scan be used as a flag to intensify the conflict in between the two groups?

It may be. It may be not.that will depend on the steer of the future

Kakkaanswers

No.Shiba Okitachi-san is ambitious so he’ll aim to rule the entire Kouzuki family.the harmony grandfather wants is impossible

Misuzu analyzes.

True.if the head of the conflicting group is going to resist tot he bitter end.then it’s useless on whatever conciliation policy used.

Then.what would you do?

Misuzu answers

It’s easy.I’ll make Shiba-san’s group independent from Kouzuki house

.What? The two factions on conflict wants to grab the leadership of all Kouzuki house’s companies, don’t they? Then we divide the Kouzuki house into two. Shiba-san’s just a stockholder in Kouzuki house so isn’t it better to leave all the management to Shiba-san? Then.Shiba-kun will increase his stocks someday and lower the Kouzuki house’s shareholding ratio. The companies would be robbed by Shiba-kun

The grandfather responds.

That won’t happen. If Shiba-kun and Kouzuki house’s relationship is good.then there’s no need to bother to weaken the power of the good shareholders and attract another investor. Shiba-san himself doesn’t have the financial strength to buy the stocks. Shiba-san should hate to have a new ambitious investor pin down majority of the stock But.if the Kouzuki enterprise is divided into two, an external force.

Since it’s ruled by the shares held.an external evaluation won’t change it. Grandfather said that you don’t want the Kouzuki group you have brought up and raised to become small even for just a bit, right? You just can’t agree that the extent of your influence will increase. In short, you’re just obsessed!

Misuzu’s words are harsh.

Even if we make Shiba-san independent.the owner will remain as Kouzuki house. We’ll leave all of the management to Shiba-san but the profit are of course ours. If Shiba-san fails then he just have to resign as a matter of taking responsibility.he should have that resolution to become the manager of an enterprise

Misuzu talks indifferently.

Kouzuki house should stop the method of directly managing all of the companies under them. Let’s leave each of the company to the talented ones.we should change to that method

You.don’t understand. Business management is. It’s already different from when grandfather was young!

Nagisa interrupts the debate of the grandfather and granddaughter.

Okay ! That’s enough!

The tense air in the room snaps off.

You should keep debating about economy with your grandfather more!

Nagisa tells Misuzu.

Kouzuki-sama as well.you do now understand that Misuzu’s suitable as a successor, don’t you?

I see.Nagisa’s purpose is.

To create a place where Misuzu andKakkacan talk with each other frankly.

You’re a disappointment as a woman.Misuzu. If you were a man.then I can retire at ease

Grandfather.in modern times, being a man or a woman doesn’t matter. There are a lot of women in the world’s political and economic world!

Misuzu objects her grandfather.

Hmph!Is there a female head in this current era? That’s right. I might’ve been thinking of the old standards of Japan!

.Grandfather But.your current insight in economics and corporate management still have ways to go.I will thoroughly teach you those!

.Does that mean?

.Nagisa-kun is right. Misuzu’s personality is really similar to me

Misuzu’s going to succeed Kouzuki house?

Misuzu-oneesama.I will support Onee-sama!

Ruriko-san said loudly.

Onee-sama is the most suited to be grandfather’s successor!

Thank you.Ruriko-san

Misuzu faces her grandfather.

Then, grandfather.please withdraw your nomination on Ruriko-san and myfiance!

She holds my hand tightly.

I’m already this man’swoman.Ruriko-san should marry the man she likes as well!

Kakka.

The concept of Close kinis the strongest strategy in group formation in the past and even in the present.

But.we won’t happy with that

Misuzu said clearly.

The strength of her grip increases.

I see.then it can’t be helped. I’ll let you free.

He looks at Misuzu.

Finally.Kakkayields to Misuzu.

To be honest.I don’t understand what’s good with that man. It’s true that he changed Misuzu tojust a dollto such a lively girl. I can tell his sincerity to Misuzu. It must be good for you to have a gentle and docile husband.

Gentle and docile husband.me?

Does he see me that way?

Thank you very much grandfather

However.you have to do a proper wedding ceremony. If you plan to take over Kouzuki house, then you have to do that. I will attend it. I don’t mind if the political and financial parties line up. Yes.of course

I’m startled.

I promised to marry Megu though. Eh?Marriage with Misuzu too? Also.the political and business world?

I’m looking foward to it! Danna-sama!

U.Un

What’s going to happen to me?

Congratulations! Misuzu-oneesama!

Congratulations! Misuzu-sama! Kuromori-sama!

Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san immediately gives their blessing.

Congratulations.Misuzu, Dear

.Congratulations!

Nagisa and Mao-chan.

Or rather.is this okay for you Nagisa?

Seki-san, Fujimiya-san.I think you two already know but do not leak this matter outside. I know your abilities and your loyalty to Kouzuki house. I’ll give you two my best regards in the future

Misuzu speaks to them as the successor of the next generation of Kouzuki

certainly.

Fujimiya-san answers immediately.

Seki-san.

me too.I understand. I get it already.

Seki-san’s confused by the fact that the nextsuccessorof Kouzuki house is decided in front of her eyes.

I’ve always wanted the two of you to work under me. I would like you to be guards of Kouzuki family without any relation to the Kouzuki security service company.

Misuzu wants the two of them to report directly to her?

.Misuzu-sama

Michi who’s silent all this time looks at Misuzu with lonely eyes.

Don’t worry. It’s not that I’m dissatisfied with Michi’s work. We’ve got to grow our family, right? Michi will always be on our side so we have to increase our guards as well

Misuzu smiles.

Michi seems to be relieved.

You don’t need to make a reply right away. We are currently being targeted by a criminal named Cesario Viola. After that matter has resolved.let’s talk again.is this favorable for grandfather as well?

Umu.it’s painful for the two to be taken out but.Misuzu’s guards in the future needs to have the skill. We can’t let something happen to the future head of Kouzuki family. I’ll ask you two as well.take a leave from Kouzuki security service for a while

Kakkatells the two.

Thank you for appointing me!

Ah, me too!

Then, Fujimiya-san and Seki-san became Misuzu’s full time guards.

The formal appointment will be later though.

Now then.I feel sorry to ask but, could the two of you play with my child on the neighboring room?

Nagisa tells Seki-san and Fujimiya-san

.Nagisa-kun, what do you mean by that?

Kakkaasks, Nagisa.

We’ll have a little ceremony with just thefamily!

.Eh, ceremony?

Mama? Mao’s not family?

Mao-chan asks.

Mao-chan’s of coursefamilybut.Mao-chan is still small, and I think that Onii-chan would feel shy if Mao-chan is here. Therefore, please play with those ladies for now okay?

eeh ! If you’ve grown bigger than I’ll also let Mao in too.I promise that .Really? Have mama ever lied to Mao? .Never Then it’s fine isn’t it? Believe your Mama .Got it
