In this case.the number doesn’t matter
Margo-san smiles wryly.
That’s right.it depends on the level of the fighting ability of the opponent
Reika answers.
No matter how many weak fries gathered.they can’t fight someone with an A-class combat ability.
And to trouble us.those who have a perverse personality is quite strong!
Haa.well, that’s bad.
Take a look.even the people in the lobby are aware of it. Look, everyone’s checking each other!
Just as Margo-san points out.the members of the underground society in the lobby are united per teams.and trying to distance from the other teams.
They make conversations sometime but they seem to be suspicious of each other. They’re keeping each other, prepared anytime someone attacks.
It’s fine to be tense but.I don’t want to stay in that place. Your mind’s just going to be grinded, I can’t bear that
Margo-san said.
But.that
There’s a doubt that spring inside me.
Kudou-san knows that the situation comes to this right?
.That old man who’s prepared for everything.
There’s no way he won’t assume this situation.
Well, that’s of course!
Margo-san smiles.
Really.Kudou-san’s a good man
.What does that mean?
I don’t know why he would bother to make such a tense place.
.Eh, Yo-chan, you don’t get it?
Nei-san makes a surprised face.
Ah, Nei-san.Mana doesn’t understand too
Mana confesses smiling.
.Then, from behind
Maika, are you an idiot? Isn’t it obvious to determine who’s the enemy and ally if you gather them in one place?
.yukino?
You were listening? Or rather.since when did you join in our circle?
Everyone’s glaring at each other.the realenemycan’t make any actions if you’re in such a tension filled situation you know?
Yukino begins to chatter facing us.
Besides, they come this far making a promiseI’ll be Kouzuki-san’s ally.but actually, some action happened, they missed the timing to refuse, and they’ll just stay as an ally to the end
Yukino explains to us showing a triumphant face.
The people who intends tobe Kouzuki-san’s allyfrom the start are those who don’t have any hesitation in their heart but you see.those people who thinks ofchanging sides with the enemywill be hesitating until the final moment. I think there’s quite a lot of people who will wait and see and thinkI’ll stay on Kouzuki-san’s side after all Yukino’s guess is sharp,
I recognize that. Yukino’s not an idiot. .But It would’ve been cool if she only doesn’t dress and make-up this strange. Even though she’s not an idiot. She looks like an idiot. .Well fine. Yukino herself has completely forgotten how she looks as she speak.
Correct.it is as Yukino-san said
Margo-san answered smiling.
It’s very dangerous to invite people who are possiblyenemiesinside the hotel but you see, we can reduce the number of people who would double-cross at the last second. Kouzuki security service in the hotel is completely fortified.it’ll take quite a lot of courage to change sides in this situation!
Once again, looking at the screen.
The uniformed personnel stationed are about four times the size of the odd group. With this number difference.those whowill try to change sideswill be pressured.
Besides.father has Neko-san and Banbarubie 3 on his side by all means. If you put those people in place, they can reliably deal with those who will change sidesquickly
Michi said confidently.
Well.I guess Kudou-san made this decision after agonizing. If you leave them outside, we would only be attacked from multiple sides. It would be troubling if they cooperate with Viola’s main force
As long as they’re trapped in the lobby.they can suppress those who willchange sides
Ah, it seems someone’s coming again!
Nei-san said
There’s a black luxury car stopping at the entrance of the hotel. While we are talking. The members of the dissident group in Shirasaka house coming to negotiate and. The fathers of the students in Kouzuki house.are coming in the hotel one after another. Those who arrived were lead directly to the upper floor making sure they won’t make contact with Kudou-papa’s people .Before long. The image of the screen was forcibly switched to a big conference room.
Both Shirasaka-san and ours didn’t arrive on schedule however, we can’t wait any longer. Let’s begin
Jii-chan who’s sitting dignified on the table speaks up heavily.
On Jii-chan’s side, Minaho-neesan. Then, Seki-san stands behind as guard. In the seats behind.the Kouzuki group’s executives. Surrounding them is Chief Tanizawa of Kouzuki security service, and Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san as guards.
.I’m really sorry! Just what happened to Fukushi-chan!
The old lady speaks on the other side of the tale facing Jii-chan and others.
Shirasaka house’s branch family’s, Shirasaka Ayako. Next to her is Shirasaka Hiromitsu who’s the representative of the local Shirasaka house’s company, and. Yamada Hisashi, the vice president at Shirasaka house’s newspaper company Tokyo Head office. It seems that Ayako’s son, Shirasaka Fukushi is late.
Hmm.we also are lacking two people in here!
Jii-chan said as he looked at the executives behind
.Reika-oneesan? Who’s the executive that didn’t come?
Margo-san asks.
Reika’s one of the top at Kouzuki security service. She knows the names and faces of the executives on Kouzuki group.
Shiba Okitachi and Kouzuki Noboru
Kouzuki Noboru.whose father is he?
There’s four men from Kouzuki branch family among Jii-chan’s students, Kouzuki Souji and Subaru, Kouzuki Satoshi, and Kouzuki Kenshi.
In short, that’s three Kouzuki executive surnames.
He’s Kouzuki Kenshi-san’s father!
Reika answers.
Although Jii-chan, who’s the head of Kouzuki house had imposed anurgent summonto them, they didn’t come. It’s possible that the two aretraitors Misuzu and Ruriko.they were attacked by theenemiesdisguising Kouzuki security service during our departure from the theater. Those people have stolen the uniform of a man who joined in the Kouzuki security service several months ago. These kind of things can’t be planned by Cesario Viola who belongs to a foreign criminal organization. There is definitely atraitoramong the Kouzuki group. Then.those people might’ve worked with Cesario Viola. If they don’t appear tonight. Then, they know that this will become a battlefield later. If Viola’s attack succeeds.Jii-chan’s life would be at stake. There’s also a possibility of the executives being killed. Therefore.they refuse to come to the hotel, reluctant to die by themselves. .Isn’t that how it is?
Shiba will be heading here from Haneda
One of the executives answered Jii-chan
Oh, he went to inspect a factory on the China?
Jii-chan turned to that executive.
Yes.the arrival of the plane seems to have been delayed a bit so I received a message from the International Terminal a while ago. He should be heading here by car. He will be arriving soon
Umu.what about Noboru?
Jii-chan asks, the executive.
I can’t contact him.his phone is unavailable. His secretary and driver also doesn’t know his whereabouts!
Suspicious. that’s too suspicious
Well fine.let’s begin our talk anyway
Jii-chan faces front
First.I want to hear your proposal
.Proposal?
Vice president Yamada makes a suspicious face.
That’s right.let me tell you beforehand, I think that the scandal of Shirasaka family is just deserts. Even if the Shirasaka newspaper or television station would go down from this.I won’t have any trouble whatsoever
Hearing that, vice president Yamada.
What are you talking about.our company is a traditional newspaper established since 75 years. We had a history of fighting to keep the freedom of the press!
