She answers limply.
Oh, I’m glad.I was worried what I should do if Seki-san speaks absurdity like she doesn’t understand!
Reika who entered thefamilyfirst grins.
Seki-san glares back at Reika.
But.I don’t want to decide my life easily like Fujimiya-san!Thatfamilylooks like it’s a serious thing
Umu, I understand your feelings.
Kakkaanswers
Well, yeah. Reika’s changing her decision promptly. Well, Reika’s personality is honest so it’s like this but. An ordinary woman would worry about it a lot.
.Besides
Seki-san stares at me.
Doing.a reproductive act.with this one.getting pregnant with his child.
Seki-san blushes looking at me.
Got it.then for the time being, Seki-san will become an ally of ourfamily The matter of entering thefamilywill be put on hold
Seki-san feels relieved.
Since you’re now anally, you’ll be paid more than what you had before.we’ll also guarantee your future position as well. Grandfather, is that good?
Misuzu confirms it with her grandfather.
Yes.I don’t mind. Seki-san is no longer my vassal.but an ally that has the same goal. In exchange.we will take care of your life
If she’s just a vassal or an employee.even if the lord changes, her status and position will be guaranteed.
Kakkaand Misuzu will be breaking the power struggle in Kouzuki family, even if someone takes over the control.as long as she’s a vassal, Seki-san’s position won’t shake. But.now that she’s an ally, even ifKakkais overthrown and Misuzu expelled from the house.Seki-san will also share the same fate. On the contrary. If she stays a vassal, Even if Misuzu takes full control of the authority to Kouzuki family, she can’t hope for a promotion. If she becomes an ally.then she’ll be involved in the as an existence close to Misuzu.
I am prepared.I will entrust my life on it!
Seki-san answers with a dignified face.
.But
.Seki-san is really a diligent one
I speak out my impressions unintentionally.
.What? Me.diligent?
Seki-san’s making a blank face.
A truly diligent one.her diligence is like an iron wall
Kakkatells me
Uhm.I do think that it’s normal though?
Seki-san seems to be unconvinced that she’sdiligent
No, well.Seki-san thinks seriously, saying that you’ll be anallyfor the time being, you put the thought of entering thefamilyon hold, didn’t you?
I asked.
Yes.I think that’s an ordinary general judgement
Sending a glance towards Reika.
I’m not someone cheap like Fujimiya-san!
.No
.You see
Seki-san.I don’t think that your judgement is common but.
.What?
Seki-san shows a surprised face.
Well, look.in this situation, you can just promise thatI’ll become an ally, I’ll join the family too.and depending on the situation afterwards, you can change your future course, right?
When Mana was still Maika, she was like that.
Though she behaves and speaks like our ally.she was actually considering of escaping from us. I’ve got an experience with Maika at that time so I can tell.
There’s no way I would do such a cowardly behavior!
Seki-san speaks angrily.
No.but you see, normal people will. Everyone’s scared of Kouzuki-san after all. Normal people would have thought of just becoming anallyand entering thefamilyjust to please Kouzuki-san and then watch over the situation
Fufufufuun.well you see, it’s a bit different!
Nagisa interrupts the conversation.
What you said just now is about a person in a specific group confident in his ability thus creating cunning behavior. Those kind of people are afraid to offend Shige-chan so they’ll just say yes to everything. Only words yet no actions. There’s always that one or two troublemaker in a group. But, that’s not a lot of people!
Nagisa smiles at me.
Most people who belong to a group like a company are not confident at themselves, a virtuous person That’s why, even if someone in a position like Shige-chan saysbe our ally, join our family.almost all of them will decline
.Decline?
I can’t do itor I don’t have the talentorI can’t bear the responsibilityYou see.becoming Shige-chan’sallyis too frightening for normal people
.What’s frightening?
Misuzu asks
If you’re in a standpoint being used by someone, you only have to fulfil the jobs and responsibility ordered. Then, you get paid and can support your family. That’s enough for them. Of course.everyone wants to succeed in their career. But.being involved in the huge power struggle in a huge family like Kouzuki house, instead of a success in career. There’s not a lot of people who would want to bother with such hardships!
.I see
Is that how it is? I myself don’t know any other group but theschoolso I don’t understand it well
For normal people, becoming anallyofKakkais too heavy of a burden. Much more, if asked to join thefamily, they’d faint.
Nagisa smiles.
Or rather.they can’t imagine themselves in it!
.Can’t imagine?
Do you know? Humans definitely imagine themselves behaving that way before they do something. Unless a concrete images comes up.people can’t act on their own will
.Un
I don’t get it.
Most people.can’t imagine themselves in that even if Shige-chan tells them toJoin in the family They can’t imagine.so they can’t act. Even if it’s an outrageously big chance.they will decline
That’s the reaction of normal people
Then.Nagisa-sama, what do you think of Seki-san’s judgement?
Misuzu asks
Right. Seki-san.what kind of type of person is she?
Seki-san is an extraordinary rare case. She’s a person confident in herself and is also a good natured one!
.good natured? Me?
The person talked about speaks in stuttered voice.
That’s right.that’s why you are seriously troubled at the thought of joining in ourfamily!
Not answering immediately.even if it displeasesKakkaher confidences comes as it’s not a problem of her own values changing.
And.she’s seriously troubled. I see, Seki-san right now is . There’s a possibility of her joining in ourfamily. How many percent it is, it’s unknown but. She can imagine herself joining ourfamily. That’s why she’s seriously worried.
Not making fun or trying to lie in this situation.seriously worrying about it, I don’t think that a person like that is not a good person
Nagisa said.
Seki-san’s mouth is wide open. It must be her first time being evaluated as such
Rather than that.I think
Reika-san looks at Seki-san
Seki-san’s probably a heavy woman
Seki-san’s expression changed radically
I’m not that heavy!
It’s not.I’m not talking about the weight
Reika speaks in a low voice.
Seki-san.if a guy invites you for a tea, do you thinkthis person likes me?
.What? Just walking around the corridor with a man.you’d thinkWhat happens if this becomes a rumor. .Ugu
Ah.she has memories of it
Ah.you’re the type that sees everything as a fuse of love
Nagisa agrees.
After you were chosen as the personal guard.you were sticky with Choumoto-san for a while
Reika looks at Seki-san.
Trying to match the color of the clothes.ordering the same menu on the employee cafeteria, trying to match the departure time from office
Why do you know that! .There’s no one in the company I don’t know Ugugugugu! Hmm, so she has a crush on a colleague
Nagisa makes fun of her.
Because.I never thought that he’s gay!
Seki-san beats the desk
It’s different from usual! That was the the first time I hit on a homo!
.Usual? But, Seki-san.you never had a relationship with a man, have you?
Misuzu asks
That’s right, never! Nobody ever comes close to me! That’s why I’m the one who’s making the effort to approach but.when I do that, men try to move away further than myself!
