Old man Ichikawa shouted in a loud voice!
Minaho-neesan answered calmly.
We don’t intend to negotiate with Ichikawa-sama nor Shirasaka house since the beginning!
.What.did you say? I just needed the 12 hours to negotiate with another person!
Minaho-neesan stands up and heads to the machine next to the principal’s office desk.
That’s like a broadcast machine for notifying the whole school. A microphone is coming out of the machine. Minaho-neesan pushed the switch. And talked to the microphone.
.It is as you see. Kakka3
K-Kakka?
Then.I hear a dignified voice of an old man from the big speaker inside the principal’s office!
.It seems that Ichikawa-kun and Shirasaka house has no capability to clean themselves. !
who’s this voice?4
I feel a strong will that’s likely to control people with his voice alone.
.I’ve been listening since the beginning!
Old man Ichikawa got irritates from the low voice.
.Who is this person eavesdropping from us? knowing that I am Ichikawa Shinichiro and you have been rude!
The voice answered from the speaker.
I do not think this is rude. The way you have responded after summoned to this situation is the one rude to the world!
Old man Ichikawa raises a voice entrusted to anger!
Who are you.reveal yourself!
The voice answered.
.Ichikawa-kun, It’s me5 Kouzuki Shigetaka!
.Kouzuki?
Misuzu’s grandfather?
.Didn’t I say Kakka eariler?
Minaho-neesan laughs at old man Ichikawa.
.Kakka? I look at Margo-san.
.Kouzuki-san was appointed as an ambassador of Japan in UK when he was young. In Japan, we give ambassadors a title of Kakka That’s why.even now, Kouzuki-san is called Kakkaby his close friends!
is that so?
A historically noble family from before Meiji era.a big shot in the political and economic world.a former UK ambassador. Isn’t he an extremely powerful person!
.is this really Kakka?
Mr. Ichikawa turned pale immediately.
Ichikawa-kun.do you remember when you were young.when I told you that imagination and inspiration is what business owners need?
The voice from the speaker says
yes.I remember!
Your imagination and inspiration seems to be completely inferior to Minaho-kun who’s right there!
Mana’s mother look at old man Ichikawa.
.Father, is this true?
Mr. Ichikawa.
.There’s no doubt. This is Kouzuki-sensei
.my!
The Shirasaka lawyer behind also turned pale.
Does Misuzu’s grandfather hold power that’s beyond old man Ichikawa and Shirasaka house?
Ichikawa-kun.Minaho-kun should’ve told you enough information. But.you were too fixated about your house’s honor that you missed something important.
The voice from the speaker criticizes old man Ichikawa.
Me.important?
Old man Ichikawa opens his mouth absentmindedly.
He looks like he doesn’t get it.
.Minaho-kun, please explain
.Yes, Kakka
Minaho-neesan turned to Mr. Ichikawa and the two.
I’ve clearly told Ichikawa-sama yesterday during the phone call. Mr. Shirasaka Sousuke has betrayed us.and tried to hand over our customer list to crime syndicates!
Minaho-neesan smiles.
well, I know that.That’s why you’re trying to kill Sousuke-kun, right?
Mr. Ichikawa answers Minaho-neesan like that!
As expected.you do not understand anything. Mr. Shirasaka Sousuke didn’t betray just us people of Kuromori brothel!
The voice from the speaker continues from what Minaho-neesan said.
Have you not thought that Shirasaka Sousuke using the Kuromori brothel is a betrayal to the customers?
Old man.is trembling intensely.
.Kuromori brothel.was founded by Minaho-kun’s grandfather shortly after the war. It was a refined brothel which targets the leading figures in Japan political and financial circle and high-ranking US military officers. The women in the mansion weren’t only young and beautiful, they’re holding deep education and elegant character.they always prepare the best dishes and music Kouzuki Kakka.knows the best times of Kuromori tower
He was a guest of the mansion at those times.
From the time of defeat to the high economic growth, Kuromori tower is a social gathering place for representatives of Japan.it is a status to enter and exit the mansion. It’s not just for embracing a woman. There were a lot of people attending the Kuromori tower to associate with the high class people. Some regular member must’ve taken you there while you were still young?
Old man Ichikawa.answers while trembling.
yes. i was taken by Mr. Sugiuchi who was the president Sakizaki about twice. But.it has nothing to do with the prostitutes!
No wonder.it would’ve been impossible to buy a woman from Kuromori with your salary back then. There’s also a rule where a guest’s visitor can’t buy a prostitute. But still.there was a worth on just going, is that correct? .yes. Certainly, I’ve talked to a lot of well known people
That is the original high class brothelKuromori towerMinaho-neesan’s grandfather has made.
It’s not just selling women.it’s also a social gathering where there are high class prostitutes.
The people who were regulars of Kuromori tower are mostly retiring from active service. There are many of them who are already dead. But.the child and grandchildren would inherit the parent’s business and knows that there are many cores of political and business world!
The voice on the speaker answers calmly.
.All of the former regular customer’s names are written in the Kuromori contact list. With photographs too. Kuromori tower was a secret club membership system. What do you think would happen if such a list falls into the hands of crime syndicates because of a little scoundrel like Shirasaka Sousuke?
.i see
The crime syndicates may blackmail the former customer based on the list!
It won’t be interesting to threaten the fathers and grandfathers who went to the prostitution mansion before, is that correct? However, there are people like me who’s a former regular and still in active service. It would be troublesome.to have such a list flow on crime syndicates. It’s a serious annoyance!
Shirasaka Sousuke’s betrayal.
Is a betrayal against all of the guests who visited Kuromori towerbefore!
When Minaho’s father and Shirasaka Sousuke took hold of the mansion with a coup d’etat.all of the customer information so far was taken by the manager, Morimoto Shirasaka banished Morimoto-san, however.it was actually the opposite Margo-san explains.
When Minaho became the owner of the mansion, and she recalled Morimoto-san, it was after Kyouko-san’s dispatched by Kouzuki-san.they handed over the old list of clients to Shirasaka’s hands. Well, Shirasaka Sousuke is just a fool who wants to satisfy his perverted nature so he didn’t notice the importance of the customer list.
So that’s why when he told the crime syndicates I will make a new prostitution organization for you so bring the customer list of Kuromorihe followed without questions.
The contact list that Minaho’s father took to Australia is a false information!
I see.so that’s how it is!
After Shirasaka Sousuke took over Kuromori mansion.the former luxury brothel has completely disappeared. It has turned to a childish.worthless.a vulgar prostitution organization. I was very disappointed in those days. I loved the world with the influence of the old Kuromori tower Kakkacontinues to talk.
.However.I gave up on thinking that it will change at that time. In the It was the prime age of bubble economy, it was the era that raised Japan. The regulars including me have not stepped on Kuromori mansion since then!
The Kuromori towerthat was taken over by Shirasaka Sousuke.kidnapping women, confining, raping.turning them to a prostitute, Kuromorihas fallen to a vicious crime organization.
But.that was 12 years ago. We were called for help by the women of Kuromori mansion. Yes.there were still prostitutes whom we patronized before in that mansion. When I heard the terrible experience of the women in the mansion.I felt pity on them. I thought that I want to help them even a little That is the time when Minaho-neesan’s sister was killed?
