.Ruriko-san. We’ll borrow Haruka-san for a while
Misuzu called out her cousin, Kouzuki Ruriko.
If I recall, she’s 15 years old.third year in middle school.
My.are you working something?
Ruriko-san looked at the mountain of pamphlets in the desk and asked.
Yes. Kanako-san asked us to fold the pamphlets into two
Ignoring the dangerous atmosphere just now.Misuzu radiantly speaks to Ruriko-san.
My, is that so?Then, let me help out too. Yoshiko
Yes.Ruriko-sama
The retainer, Yoshiko-san looks like a high school student.
Like her master, Ruriko-san, she looks like a very gentle person.
.Haruka-san and others, you have to return to the headquarters, are you not?
Misuzu said calmly.
They have to make a reason to open the passage to the theater basement.
My.is that so, Haruka-san?
Ruriko-san asks her guard.
uhm
Then, please hurry up and go. Yoshiko and I will be helping out Misuzu-san here!
Kudou Haruka hesitates to leave her master
I’ll be protecting them here so I don’t think there would be any problems!
Margo-san smiles.
Therefore, go already and just return at once!
Kudou Haruka.
.Ruriko-sama. I will be coming back immediately. Yoshiko-san, please take care of her. Misuzu-sama too.don’t do anything unfair! Everyone, let’s go
yes1
Kudou Haruka walks angrily.
Her four underling girls follow her.
.Why is she saying ‘unfair’?
Ruriko-san asks Misuzu.
I wonder.Haruka-san is always furious in front of me.
Un, really, that girl just says what she wants, right?
Nei-san says while looking at Kudou Haruka’s back.
.Sorry, MIsuzu-san
Ruriko-san bows to Misuzu.
Don’t be.it is not something for Ruriko-san to lower her head for!
But.Haruka-san did something rude, didn’t she? That girl pledges her loyalty to me but.her methods are wrong and her behavior is always excessive!
This girl.she noticed Kudou Haruka’s true nature.
Even though Misuzu-san and I are not in a standpoint where we’re in a conflict. Inside Haruka-san’s head, we’re supposed to be rivals.
As expected.Kuodu Haruka’s acting on her own,
If I’m a bit more firm.then I think I can stop her action in advance. I’m sorry. I’ve caused Misuzu-san inconvenience!
Ruriko-san’s worried about Misuzu from the bottom of her heart.
.I think she’s not a bad child.
Don’t mind it. We’re cousins. Also, everyone helped me out!
Misuzu introduces us to Ruriko.
Starting there, Margo-san. Nei-san.w Megumi-san Mana-san.
Each of them bows to Ruriko.
Ruriko-san replies with a bow to each of them too.
.Then
When she reached Yukino, Misuzu stopped speaking.
.Kishima Kuroko-san
Michi speaks instead of Misuzu.
Oh right, Kuroko-san!
My, wearing yellow and black dress, it suits your name very much!
Yukino didn’t say anything, she just has a downhearted face.
Still, she bows to Ruriko-san. Ruriko-san’s the only daughter of the eldest son of KouzukiKakka. She knows that she’s an Ojou-sama among Ojou-sama’s when it comes to nobility. Or rather, hearing Ruriko-san talk this close .She’s surely aSuper sheltered lady Blandly and softly. There’s no evil at all. She smiles at Yukino with a very innocent face.
.And
Misuzu looks at my eyes.
.Kuromori Kounosuke
I introduced myself.
It’s fine to know my real name if it’s just Ruriko-san but. Her retainer, Yoshiko-san’s here. I thought that it’s better to call myselfKuromoriin this case. Misuzu also took care not to say the last name of the girls.
.Everyone’s Misuzu-san’s friend
Ruriko-san said.
Family!
Misuzu answered.
.Family?
Yes.family
Misuzu spreads the pamphlet without saying anything else.
Then.should we work?
Sitting side by side on the table.everyone begins to work at the pamphlets.
If we have this number, we’ll finish this immediately.
Yoshiko-san said.
Wait, Maru-chan.that’s crooked. You should alight the corners then fold!
Ah, sorry sorry! American’s are the only one bad at this things!
Nei-san and Margo-san are messing around.
Wait wait.Kuroko-san, do it firmly!
eeh? Really, you’re so bad!
Mana’s scolding her sister again.
.Megu. She’s working at an amazing speed. Furthemore, it’s delicate.
.Megu?
Ah.what? Yoshi-kun? You’re working so amazingly though? Well.I’ve been the class representative often before so I’m used to this. Also.I’m the type that gets immersed when concentrating.
Speaking of which, a while ago.she just kept folding the pamphlets without talking to anyone.
Somehow.it’s such a simple talk but each of their persinality comes out. .Misuzu’s working on almost the same speed as Megu. But, she still has the composure to talk to Ruriko-san while working. Everyone here has different personality Ruriko-san’s very careful but very slow. On the time where others can finish at five.she somehow completes one.
Horahora, Ruriko-sama.if you match the corners in here, you can do it smoothly.
Yoshiko-san’s also terribly slow. She’s boundlessly careful though.
.Misuzu-san
Ruriko-san speaks up while continuing her work.
Nadeshiko-sensei praised Misuzu-san’s progress these past few days!
I’m not making progress
Misuzu said.
No. As far as I can see, Misuzu-sama’s improving greatly!
Yoshiko-san said.
Even so.Nadeshiko-sensei has told us but
.What? She said that Misuzu-san might’ve fallen in love!
Misuzu’s cheeks blushed from what Ruriko-san said.
That is.by chance, today’s dance would be a love dance.
That is what Nadeshiko-sensei said however.Misuzu-san’s dance didn’t look likeA dance of a girl in loveuntil last week. And now.it’s firmly expressed as anadult woman suffering from love.
Suffering from love?
Misuzu.are you suffering?
.Then, I
Ruriko-san looked at me.
I have seen Misuzu-san holding hands with Kuromori-san during the other day when you entered the rehearsal.
Oh right.at that time.
From the second floor window of the Konpeki style rehearsal building. Ruriko-san and Kudou Haruka looks down at Misuzu and me.
Yes.Ruriko-san
Misuzu doesn’t seem to have any intention of hiding it to her cousin.
I’ve fallen in love with him!
She holds my hand tightly.
Megu’s silent work stopped. Yukino’s looking at us with aHuh?face Margo-san and Nei-san are smiling. Mana touched Megu’s shoulders.
I want to bear this man’s child!
My.my thoughts were right after all!
Ruriko-san’s eyes are shining as she look at us.
But.Misuzu-sama. How about your fiance?
Yoshiko-san asks Misuzu.
She’s right.Misuzu-san has a fiance grandfather has decided just like me.
Ruriko-san’s face turned gloomy.
We will talk to grandfather after the gathering today. Also.I’ll ask for his permission to be in a relationship with this man!
Misuzu said clearly.
My, wonderful! I will support you.Misuzu-san!
The 15 year old cousin is moved deeply.
By the way.who is Misuzu-sama’s fiance?
Yoshiko-san asks
Well.I can’t say it now
Misuzu answers then looked at us.
Please keep working.and please listen to my story
.Misuzu.
Ruriko-san and I are Kouzuki Shigetaka’s granddaughters. There are no other grandchildren. The current Kouzuki house has grandfather controlling everything.the successor of the family would be either Ruriko or me. Therefore.there are a lot of people who wants to be married to us aiming at the property of Kouzuki.
Un.
If you marry Misuzu and Ruriko-san.you’ll inherit a huge wealth and power.
