Yes, I think there are some It would be fine if it’s their mother but.if it’s the father, they’ll know our faces!
Ah.They might be customers ofKuromori
At such places.furthermore, before the opening time, it would be bad to see Minaho-neesan’s face.
Therefore, we’ll stay in the lobby for a while
Okay, then I’ll go there too If Maru-chan’s there then me too!
.Nei-san?
You see, Maru-chan’s the safest place for me!
Nei-san said and smiled.
What’s left is Michi, Yukino, and Me.
Yukino-san.I think she shouldn’t come to the dressing room
Misuzu said.
.Why?
Her look.is indeed strange
True
Yukino’s wearing a yellow-and-black construction dress. It’s definitely not vulgar clothing but. No matter how you look at it, it’s a girl weak in the head. Her hobby is too bad.it stand out too much.
Besides.Today, Takabayashi Sayaka-san is here?
.No way?
Hearing Misuzu, Yukino raised her voice.
.Who’s that?
It’s Yukino-san’s classmate in middle school
Mana told me.
She’s been talking about Yukino-san in the dressing room since lunch time. I’ve come to play in Shirasaka Sousuke-san’s houseshe said.she’s always been talking about the arrangement of the house and even the snacks served Misuzu smiled wryly.
Shirasaka Sousuke’s a director on a leading advertising agency. As a member of Shirasaka family.Yukino even attended an Ojou-sama school until middle school. It’s not strange if she’s acquainted with a pupil of Konpeki style school.
.That woman
Yukino made a bitter face.
Then, it’s better not to show your face
No matter how disguised she is.Yukino’s former classmate will be able to identify her identity.
Mana, is it okay to meet her?
Maika-san has never met that person even once.in the first place, Mana isn’t Maika-san!
Mana said then smiled.
It’s okay. I’ll be with you
Megu said.
Danna-sama, what about you?
.I
.What should I do? .Then Several people come this way. Kanako-san who asked us to work on the pamphlets is walking ahead. Behind her. Kudou Haruka’s four followers.
Sorry.I had to take off my costume after thedress rehearsal!
Kanako-san who changed to her practice Yukata came back breathing roughly.
The clothes today were borrowed from the headmaster so I can’t let it get dirty
Kanako-san wiped her sweat with a small hand towel then said.
My.are you done already? I’m sorry, Misuzu-san and her guests did everything!
It’s not just us. Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san came to help out too Really?I’m very sorry Don’t mind it
On behalf of everyone.I spoke to Kanako-san.
We’re Misuzu’s familyafter all
Hearing what I said.Kanako-san’s surprised.
Misuzu-san.could it be, this person?
Ah.shit
Kanako-san seems to have misunderstood me as Misuzu’s secretfiance
It’s not.Kanako-san
Misuzu.
This one isn’t thefiancegrandfather has decided on me.
Megu and Mana pats my back.
.Eh?
This is Misuzu-san’s territory Un.it can’t be helped
.Girls
Geez, you’re slow ! Hurry up and go to Mii-chan’s side!
Nei-san thrusts me from behind.
I line up next to Misuzu. Misuzu smile as she look at me.
This is the person I chose.the one I love!
.Misuzu?
My.Is that so?
Kanako-san’s face turned bright.
Yes. I’ll tell only Kanako-san!
Among these two.Kanako-san has her face feel very mature but.
She’s younger than Misuzu.
.I can’t tell Manami-chan?
Ufufu.you can. But, only Manami-chan .Yes!
Misuzu and Kanako-san smiled peacefully at each other.
Kudou Haruka stares at us with a bitter face.
Then, we can leave the pamphlets to Kanako-san, I assume?
Yes.Nadeshiko-sensei’s apprentices would be coming soon My, isn’t Kiyoko-san already here if you’re talking about apprentices? I’ve seen Kiyoko-san do independent practice with Midori-san and Makie-san I see.the apprentices are busy aren’t they?
Misuzu and Kanako-san are having conversation only apprentices of Konpeki style can understand.
It’s almost time for Misuzu-san to prepare.
That’s right. I have to hurry
Kanako-san looks at me.
Have you seen the order in the pamphlet?
.Order?
Misuzu-san.will be the third from the end for today’s dance
Third from the last?
The last would be the headmaster, Nadeshiko-sensei’s dance
Today’s gathering is a symposium of Konpeki-style dance.
So the last.the teacher will be dancing herself.
Before Nadeshiko-sensei is Manami-chan who’s the best in our class
True.they said that Manami-san’s the headmaster’s granddaughter wasn’t it?
Misuzu’s before her. Then that means that Misuzu’s the second most skilled among today’s apprentices?
It’s a huge selection. Misuzu-san really did her best
Don’t say that.it’s embarrassing
Misuzu’s embarrassed.
Un.I’m looking forward to it. Misuzu
Today.I will dance for Danna-sama!
I want to kiss Misuzu.
But.it would be bad here. Kanako-san’s looking. Behind her are people glaring at us.
.Sorry but, you haven’t forgotten your promise with us?
Kudou Haruka told me.
1. No, he’s not literally flying
Chapter 223
.Who’s this?
Kanako-san asks Misuzu as Kudou Haruka shows an unusual atmosphere.
Misuzu smiled gracefully.
She’s Ruriko-san’s guard.don’t mind her Kanako-san
.But We’ll settle this among ourselves
When told like that.Kanako-san has no choice but to be silent.
Misuzu-san can take priority of her lesson anyway.you can leave the rest to us
Margo-san said.
You don’t mind if we send Misuzu-san to the dressing room first do you?
Margo-san asks Kudou Haruka with sharp eyes.
Yes, I don’t
Kudou Haruka acknowledged.
Anyway.don’t worry about it, Kanako-san
Misuzu tells Kanako-san again.
It’s really going to be fine!
Nei-san smiled at Kanako-san who’s uneasy.
yes!
But still, Kanako-san looked uneasy.
Everyone moved together from the lobby to the dressing room entrance.
From the side aisle of the theater to next to the stage. There’s a big sign sayingAuthorized person onlyin big letters.
The other side will be the dressing room. That door is left open today
Misuzu explained.
I see, today’s the Japanese traditional dancesymposium. There’s more than 50 people performing. There would be guests visiting the dressing room too. When it’s not the performer’s turn, they can go watch others dance. The door separating the spectator seat and the dressing room is left open. .Then There’s a lot of stern men waiting around the door.
Those people are everyone’s guards
Misuzu whispers on my ears.
Today’s performers are all child from a distinguished family. In case of female guards, they can go inside the dressing room. The male guards can’t. Therefore, they wait in here. .Then.
.Misuzu-sama, you’re coming with a lot of strange people again
One person.a man in black aged over 50 calls Misuzu.
He stared at Minaho-neesan.
My, Tanizawa-san.you’re already here?
Misuzu smiled.
I’ve taken a head start today.I’d like to check the security system in here.
The man called Tanizawa answered Misuzu with his twisted grin.
Danna-sama.this one’s Tanizawa-san. He’s the chief of grandfather’s full-time security unit
KouzukiKakkafull time guard?
I see, Kudou-papa’s doing various investigations on the outside. There’s another person that sticks withKakkaas his guard. I now understand why the evaluation of Kudou-papa from director Yamaoka is low. To the regular members of Kouzuki security servcice.Kudou papa from theguard departmentmay seem only unreliable to KouzukiKakka He already has a dedicated escort unit.
