Kakkasmiles maliciously.
Far from punishing Misuzu.Kakka’sgoing to expel Misuzu from Kouzuki house? Either way.if he marries Misuzu who’s abandoned byKakka, he won’t have success in Kouzuki group. Rather.being Misuzu’s husband would become a hindrance.
understood.if that’s the case. I will leave everything toKakka
Shiba Takahiko acceptsKakka’sproposal easily.
In the end.this man doesn’t see Misuzu as anything but a tool to becoming a relative of the Kouzuki house.
It’s my fault to raise such a delinquent girl like Misuzu. I’m very sorry
No.that’s not, Kakka Therefore.if Takahiko-kun finds a daughter of a house you find interest in then you can talk to me
Kakkasmiles
IfKakkacreates the engagement directly.any house under Kouzuki house can’t refuse.
.thank you very much!
Knowing that he’ll be given a special favor.Shiba Takahiko’s face brightens.
Oh.is there a girl you’re interested in?
Kakkaasks, Shiba Takahiko.
Uhm.Kakkawell you see, for example.Ruriko-san, would that be okay?
Shiba Takahiko shows a grin.
Ruriko-san got frightened from what he said.
i.
Next moment.Kakkamakes an angry face.
You should know your limits!
Ha.Uhm, I’m very sorry!
Shiba Takahiko’s surprised fromKakka’ssudden boiling of anger.
Ruriko is the eldest daughter of Kouzuki family! She’s the legitimate successor of Kouzuki family! There’s no reason for an outsider’s son like you to be married to her! What blasphemy for a subject!
.i’m very sorry, i was impolite!
Shiba Takahiko gets off from the chair and kneels on the floor!
I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m very sorry!
Rubbing his forehead on the carpet on the floor.Shiba Takahiko desperately apologizes.
Enough! You can retire.I’m disappointed in you! I never thought that you forgot who you are that much!
Kakkaforcibly holds back his anger.
Anyway.I’m cancelling your engagement with Misuzu. Fortunately, this matter hasn’t been leaked outside so there’s no problem in cancelling the engagement. I will talk to your father myself.okay?
yes Then.return to the room and wait with your friends. I will forget about your disrespectful remark just now. I expect you to study more.very well .Yes. Kakka
Shiba Takahiko drops crestfallen.
What are you doing?I’m telling you to get out of this room!
Yes.right away
Limply, Shiba Takahiko stands up then heads to the door leading outside.
.Continue your loyalty to Kouzuki house from now on. That’s your way to live
Kakkatold Shiba Takahiko.
.i’ll keep that in mind. excuse me!
Shiba Takahiko opens the door and went out.
His whole body’s trembling.and his waist is limp. It’s an unstable footstep you can only see as running away.
.Thud.
When the door closes.Misuzu asks me.
Danna-sama.what’s your evaluation with that person?
.Eh?
My evaluation?
Anything will do.please tell me what you think about Takahiko-san
.I
I can’t trust someone who saysI’m making efforts
I gave my honest impressions.
.What do you mean?
That’s because they’re not making any effort.
My bad memories from before revives.
My mother’s like that. I’m making so much effortI’m always working so hardA nature where she just screams to anyone.
Ah.I don’t want to remember this.
But.it can’t be helped.
My mother owns two stores.well, it might be hard for a woman to be the owner but.theeffortmy mother speaks about isA complaint came from the guestorThe worker’s job is badorthe part timers aren’t gathering as scheduled.she’ll complain to the management of the shop.then it’s natural for the management for them to resolve them one by one.that’s noteffortat all It’s the job she chose As I thought.I hate her.
As the owner.she insists thework she has to do.aseffort. Then she finds it hard to deal with it.she never did anything as a wife, as a mother. She never tried to fulfil her role in the family.that woman just continued to blame me, my father, and grandma.
That person’s the same. He’s the one who decided that he’ll reach the top on the Kouzuki group? Then, it’s normal that you should work hard for your dreams. And yet, he shouldn’t be saying thatI’m making so much effort!
That’s what I think.
I hate those kind of people.I never trust them
Misuzu.
I agree with you Danna-sama!
Then, she smiled
Since when have you thought of that?
Kakkaasks me.
Since when?
Uhm.perhaps ever since I met Minaho-neesan and Katsuko-nee
Yeah.that’s right.
Minaho-neesan, Katsuko-nee, Margo-san.even though there’s thingsthey have to dothey never complain. Always smiling.they deal with it without saying a complaint. Everyone understands. If it’s something that must be done then they won’t say it’s troublesome I learned by looking at the back of myelder sisters
Hmm.true, the girls over there are hardworking
Kakkalooks at me.no, he’s looking down at me.
He’s trying to analyze what kind of human am I.a cold, sharp glance.
Grandfather.why did you make such a fragile person myfiance?
Misuzu asks her grandfather.
What do you think?
The grandfather answered the question with another.
Takahiko-san’s father.Shiba-san has grown greatly over the last few years on the division in Kouzuki group he’s in charged with, he currently holds a huge influence in the current group. In any case, he may be the top of the management team of the corporate group. Therefore.I can understand the story why Shiba-san’s son and a daughter of Kouzuki clanーme would be married.
What.you already know the reason
Kakkasnorts
Takahiko-san’s father.Shiba Okitachi-kun is a competent person. I’ve never met such a talented person in my entrepreneur life. Though his son is a little unreliable as you can see.if we leave it to him then Kouzuki group would be at peace. Therefore, your engagement with Takahiko-kun was necessary Kakkapurposely speaks in past tense.
Because of Misuzu and me.thatengagementis broken, and it’s said to be serious damage.
But.Shiba-san isn’t from a distinguished family. Shiba-san has succeeded his position with his own power. For Kouzuki house, he’s a newbie.a outsider vassal. People who came from Kouzuki family, branch family lineage will never like him Misuzu said.
If Takahiko-san and I got married.Shiba-san’s power will be strengthened, and it’ll become a full war against the old-fashioned lineage. Kouzuki group will be split into two.
Kakkadoesn’t answer.
He’s just looking at Misuzu with a grumpy face.
Also.there’s a rumor that Shiba-san’s ambitious. He can’t continue enduring as the vassal of Kouzuki house
Kakkainterrupts
I don’t care about the results. Either way, I will be dead when the conflict occurs. No.Everyone’s waiting for me to die. They’re thinking that they shouldn’t stir a conflict in the house while I’m still healthy.
Kakka’sbad temper grows stronger.
Seki-san and Fujimiya-san on the side feels restless. They seem to have not seen such displeasure.
Do you know what will happen after my death? The living group will be destroying, killing each other.
Is thatKakka’sreal intent?
.Understood, I!
Suddenly.Ruriko-san opens her mouth.
IN short.grandfather is giving us atrial? We would be saving Kouzuki house’s predicament with our own hands!
.Err
There’s that in a sense but. This old man’s behavior feels more reckless.
I don’t want do do suchtrial
Misuzu tells her grandfather.
What grandfather’s doing is only increasing the trouble for the next generation. I don’t want to have such pointless hardships. I don’t want to exhaust my important lifetime just to restore the human relations and the trust grandfather had broken!
