As a guard of thebrothelthere were also dinner parties.
What about Miss Cordelia?
I look at the adult group
Ah, they’re eating it without problems.
Miss Cordelia is Kyouko-san’s partner so she’s used to Japanese food too. Japanese food seems popular in the US. Besides
Besides? Those people go to the jungle on their work to so, on their survival training, they catch fish and I think they’re used to eating it raw
Then, Eenie and Meenie too
Margo-san talks to the two in English. Eenie and Meenie answer something while laughing.
Both of them like the hand-rolled sushi healthily. Above all, it’s great to be eaten by hand
What? They seem to have been taken by Miss Cordelia to a Japanese restaurant but, they seem to really be bad with chopsticks
Oh.
Speaking of which, today’s ingredients are all bought by miss Cordelia, though
Yeah, that
Margo-san talks to Kyouko-san
Kyouko-san, he seems to want to know why miss Cordelia lost the bet
Kyouko-san grins.
Ufufu, it was an interesting bet
Or rather, I was surprised by this country!
What?
Rather than Japan, it’s the violent organizations in Japan, right?
Kyouko-san laughs happily
You see we came to crush gangs today
Oh, speaking of which, they did
Did it go well? Obviously. If it didn’t go well, we won’t be eating dinner with everyone here now
True.
If they failed, they’d be caught by police or dead.
How do you think Kyouko-san and them crushed the gangs?
Margo-san asks me.
No, even if you ask me I don’t know. They did something amazing or something?
I shouldn’t be able to know.
Kyouko-san
Well, we came right to their front door
What?
The higher-ups of the gang had rented all of the five floors from the seventh floor to the top floor of an 11th story building. Then, the chairman’s office is on the top floor, we confirmed that the target was there so we charged right in front of them
Err.
To be accurate, we didn’t go right in front, there were three entrances to the building there and me, Edie, Cornelia, Eenie & Meenie went in divided into three groups. Not letting a single person inside get out. Our plan is to beat everyone up to pulp
Is that even a plan?
Could it be that the bet was who will be the first one to arrive at the chairman’s office?
I asked, then Kyouko-san laughed.
That’s not the bet. There was no need to rush. It’s more important to take everyone down
Then Our bet was when will guns come out
Guns?
Look, Japan’s different from the US, it’s illegal to carry a gun but, as expected, if it’s a criminal organization, they probably have guns. Therefore, if we beat them up front, how long will it take until they bring out guns, that was the bet
Haa.
Miss Cordelia bets that guns will come out within ten minutes after they rush in. I thought that it would take more than ten minutes. Then, in reality,
Kuhahahahaha, Kyouko-san laughs loudly.
Even when we arrived at the chairman’s office, there were no guns that came out!
That’s right, just what the hell? This country doesn’t have a single enemy with a gun coming out even though they occupied all of the five floors from the bottom? If they’re a crime organization, don’t they normally have a couple or three guns?
Err
I think that Kyouko-san’s progress was just too fast
Margo-san smiles wryly
Perhaps they have several guns in the office but, since the offices of the gangs also expect to be searched by the police, they’re hiding their guns somewhere.2 Kyouko-san’s attack was too fast, that they had no timing to get it out of their hiding spots
What the hell, then there’s no point to having a gun!
Miss Cordelia gets angry.
Well, in Japan’s case, the gangs use guns only when they are coming to attack. They don’t assume that their headquarters office would just be attacked right in their front. Even in cases of trouble, most of the enemies would attack outside the office, when they ride a car, or when they’re inside a shop, aiming at defenseless places. For example, shooting bullets from outside. Raids in their headquarters haven’t happened in the past few decades, maybe?
Seriously, they’re so bad. These Japan gangs
No, look
Then, in the end, all of the people inside were blown away and fainted. And when we reached the chairman, we got him naked, bound him with a rope, and hanged him upside down from the window
What?
Ah, we hung him from the window of the 8th floor, if it’s from a very high place, the impact of looking below becomes rather thin. Looking from up the seventh, eight floor to the ground is the most chilling. This is a result of science and statistics tested multiple times so there’s no mistake about it
Right. We’ve hung a lot of guys upside down in the past
Miss Cordelia speaks nostalgically
But, since this is Japan, we actually have to paint their whole body white then hang them upside down, right?
Eh, what do you mean?
I don’t get it.
Eh, isn’t that a traditional art in Japan? A human painted white hung upside down in a tall building?
Miss Cordelia, I think you’re making a mistake here?
Cordelia.that wasButohit’s not a traditional art
Kyouko-san said.
Besides, it’s not popular recently that people on their age won’t know it normally
My, is that so? Besides, even though they paint themselves in white, why is it called Dark Butoh I don’t get that
what’sDark Butoh?
The true Japanese tradition wasn’t painting the whole body white, but putting scriptures throughout their whole body, right
Uhm, Kyouko-san?
And then, they surely leave the ears. That’s the tradition of Japan
I get it, thanks for telling me Kyouko
Miss Cordelia’s convinced.
No, I think that’s wrong. This is bad, she’s being taught strange knowledge about Japan. I look at Katsuko-nee and Nagisa. Ah, they’re averting their eyes. Err. Someone, tell them that it’s wrong! Of course, I can’t though. Nei, Reika? Reika’s doing Kendo so shouldn’t she know a lot about Japanese traditions? Wait. They’re not here. Since when?
Uhm, writing a sutra on the body is just a folk. It’s not a tradition
Megu, you’re amazing!
Besides, not writing on the ear is just a mistake, they actually have to write even on the ear
Oh, is that so?
Kyouko-san laughs.
Ah, she told Miss Cordelia a lie purposely
I’ve read Lafcadio Hearn after all
Lafcadio what?
Miss Cordelia reacts to what Megu just said.
100 years ago, a Brit born in Greece, went to the US and became a journalist, and for some reason, he became a school teacher in Japan. Then, he gathered old Japanese stories and wrote a book, and died in Japan. He was that kind of man
Hmm
Miss Cordelia doesn’t seem to be particularly interested
Then
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Everyone! Look this way! !
Nei shouts at the entrance.
I will introduce our new friend to everyone!
Could this be?
Okaay. Our cute Rei-chan’s coming in!
Then.
A tall embarrassed lady appears in the doorway. She’s wearing a pink maid clothing. Even though it’s a long skirt, since her legs are too long, her skin under her shin is exposed. Even her arms, the sleeve isn’t enough. The girl wearing a maid cap is trembling, blushing.
Hey, Rei-chan, why don’t you greet everyone
Then.
The professional guard, the one namedbeat to death swordswomanby Kouzuki security service’s top elite, Fujimiya Reika Nei must’ve practiced her, she grasps her skirt with both hands, and she lowers her head.
i’m Rei, please be friends with me
