Don’t say taht
Kudou-papa answered coldly.
.Michi-kun, do you want to enter this kind of world?
.Eh?
.If possible, I’d like to succeed father’s Kudou style
This is unrelated to Kudou style.what I’m doing right now is underground business. Also.it’s only danger and the income isn’t suitable
Neko-san looks at Kudou-papa
Should I go out?
No.stay. I’d like Neko to be here
Kudou-papa tells Neko-san.
Unlike me who’s doing underground work.you can be a regular member of Kouzuki security service like Etsuko, Shinichi, and Haruka. They’re official bodyguards. Their salary and holidays are guaranteed. They also have a veto power to unreasonable work. They get a social status too.but Kudou-papa stares at his own iron pipe that was put aside.
There’s nothing here. You’re not allowed to go to the surface.and yet, you always stand next to death
Father.do you regret it?
Kudou-papa laughs.
Don’t be stupid.I like this so I took this road. Even if I’m reborn a hundred times, I will go to the underground world. That is my mission
Then.Me too.
Kudou-papa stopped Michi.
.Don’t be easily swept away by the sentiment of parent and child. Let me be clear. I have no regrets on my way of living. But.I don’t think I want my daughter to follow the same path as me!
.Father Above all.you’ve already decided your road, right?
Michi.
Yes.I would like to devote my life to Misuzu-sama
Then, go that way, I will stay here! However.there are still a lot of things I have to learn from Father!
Michi desperately holds to her father.
.There’s nothing like that!
Kudou-papa throws it away in a single phrase.
What’s ahead is only a road of carnage.didn’t I tell you a while ago? Everything will be settled by tomorrow. What do you think that means?
.Father? We.Yamaoka and Etsuko, the people at Kouzuki security service headquarters.were ordered by Kouzuki old man toexterminate But.the meaning ofexterminatediffers between them and us
.The meaning differs.
Those from headquarters.they’re okay as long as they have protected Kouzuki old man from Cesario Viola and send him away to America. Theirexterminateis to repel But, ourextermination!
Neko-san speaks with dark eyes.
Kill Cesario Viola and his colleagues!Everyone of them that came to Japan. That means we won’t let anyone alive by tonight until tomorrow morning. That is theextermination directivewe underground people received from Kouzuki-san!
So they will go with the intent to kill!
Michi.I don’t want you to kill people
Kudou-papa said with a calm face.
.Father
Michi looks down.
If you’re going to live as Misuzu-ojousan’s guardian.then everything I’ve taught you until now would be enough. The true essence of Kudou style ancient martial arts can be exercised in the battlefield. What I will be teaching you are techniques to surely kill people. I don’t want to teach you that Therefore.Kudou-papa always show tricks that looks like he’s playing around.
No.I already know. The secrets of Kudou style
Michi looks up at her father’s eyes.
I’ve discovered father’s hiddensecret book I can’t use it in actual combat but.I continued training it
.I see
Kudou-papa’s words are clogged.
I’m sorry.it caught my eye not knowing what father thinks.please forgive my impoliteness
Michi bows her head to her father.
No.it’s fine. Knowing it and using it is different. It is for you to decide on how to make use of the skills you’ve learned
Kudou-papa forgave his daughter.
But still.I can’t allow you to go run after me and do underground work. You follow Misuzu-ojousama That would be yourKudou style ancient martial arts
.Father I’ve shown you my underground this far because if you’re going to be guarding Misuzu-ojousama, then you’ll be in the position using people from the underground like me and Neko
As a legitimate guard.she’ll handle the people in the underground.
For that sake, it’s better if you’re familiar with the way underground people live, work, think, and behave. Thus I’ve put you by my side until today
Kudou-papa looks at Michi’s red whip.
Let me see that
Michi handed thered buteto her father.
Nice whip.who gave you this?
Kuromori’sMargo-sama I see.
Kudou-papa pulls the whip to check its strength.
I’ve been advised that weapons like this are better than a hammer.
An appropriate judgement. This is a weapon to protect people. A weapon to keep the enemies away.the color’s flashy too I think it’s a good weapon for a guard
Kudou-papa returns the whip to Michi.
We peoplee underground don’t hold weapons that can be seen as weapons from outside. So the enemy won’t be wary.so you can infiltrate. You’re out when there’s a body check on the way. But.the guards should have weapons that are easy to know. Extend your whip so everyone can know the wonderfulness of your whip Spread the image ofMisuzu-ojousama’s guard’s red whip is frightening That would be your and your lady’s first barrier If Michi’s strength is known by the world.half of them won’t attack Misuzu.
But.you need another skill in addition to your whip. Secret Technique A sure kill skill when the enemy thinks that you’re going to attack with your whip. If you have such asecret techniqueit would be useful in times of emergency .Understood, Father
Michi-kun, this will be the last advice I will give you
Kudou-papa smiles.
With that said.Neko. Michi-kun’s my daughter.don’t drag her to underground business. Sorry but you will also deal with it. If you try to scout her secretly, I won’t end it with just a sorry
.I know. Kudou-chan
Neko-san said.
I also have a son. Even I.it’s too late for me to make a fuss on doing such work but.I don’t want my son to do this job. I will tell the others. Nobody will pull Michi-chan in the underground work.ever .Sorry but, please
Kudou-papa bows to Neko-san.
Lastly.Kudou-papa looks at me.
.Take care of my daughter
.I
On behalf ofKuromori.I’ll take care of your daughter!
I bowed to Kudou-papa.
He’s a very good father.
On the way home from Kudou-papa’s car.
I told Michi.
Father is my pride.
Michi said sadly.
I.what should I do from now on?
I looked up at the sky.
May sky’s a fine weather.
It’s okay.Michi has me and Misuzu
.Eh? You’re not alone.no, you won’t be alone
I hold Michi’s hand.
Michi grabs my hand in silence.
Really.it is as Margo-san says
Her small hand grasps me tightly
Yoshida has the power to heal a woman’s heart
.Michi Call me Michi1
Michi said with a serious face.
Father was the one who gave me the name Michi. MichiisUnknown, it leads theWay
Yup.that’s a good name Yes, that’s because it’s the name father gave me
Then.Michi smiled
She clenches my hand tightly That shows the strength of Michi’s heart. This lesbian samurai girl.is mentally strong. Perhaps, even more than Mana who’s younger. Though her combat capability is already beyond adult, her mind is still growing. She’s always been with Kudou-papa after all. Michi’s tense now that she has parted from her father. Her insecurity is appearing. Someone has to take care of Michi’s heart. That is my job.
Now, let’s go back.once we get out of the school and reach thenational theateryou can meet Misuzu!
Yes.Yoshida!
.Hmm
ミッチィ has become 美智 but.2 Yoshida seems to remain like that. Well.that’s fine
Let’s hurry! Yoshida!
Yeah.Michi
We ran holding each other’s hands.
Returning to themonitor room.what’s there is awomen garden
Everyone’s dressing up.preparing for Misuzu’s presentation
