I want you all to decide what do you want to do from now on

.I

I.of course, will follow Nei-san and Margo-san. Until the end

I’ve made my resolve long ago

I’m only to protect Master. That’s my promise with Misuzu-sama

Michi responded immediately

I’ll go too!

Fujimiya-san?

Seki-san’s surprised from what Reika said

.I’m theOnee-sanso I have the obligation to protect these children

Reika’s prioritizing being our elder sister more than being the guard of Kouzuki security service.

What about Yukino?

When I asked Yukino.she put down the cup she’s drinking tea from

Of course, I’ll go with you people

.What?

I feel uneasy in this room. I don’t want to stay any longer

.Does that mean?

Fu, fufufufu

Kouzuki Kenshi laughs

I see, that’s how it is!

what?

This room of course has surveillance cameras, even bugged. Of course, this conversation is all heard

.Heard?

By Who? The one’s holding the monitor system right now is. Chief Tanizawa and Jii-chan

If you don’t wantKakkato continue watching you idling around in this room.then I guess it’s better to go outside

Kouzuki Kenshi looks at me.

I’ve said it earlier but.I don’t have anything anymore

Kouzuki Kenshi who had his father exposed as the traitor.he can’t stay in Kouzuki group unless he shows his allegiance to Jii-chan

Either way.you should feel the horror of the realundergroundworld by experience. You’re just too big-headed right now

Margo-san comments on Kouzuki Kenshi

I know it’s better to be scared. Well, I’m already ready for it.

Just how long will that frivolous talk last?

But.now that even Kouzuki Kenshi is going to leave this room. What’s left is.

.I get it already

Seki-san aighs

If I don’t go with you you won’t be able to move around the hotel! I’ll go! I’ll follow you around okay!

Seki-san is the only one who memorized the map of the maze hotel.

In truth.without Seki-san, we can’t get out of the room.

Chief Tanizawa! You’re watching anyway! I’m going to follow these children. You can fire me for violating orders or something!

Seki-san shouts at the surveillance cameras.

Sorry.you’ve got troublesomelittle brothers and sisters

Nei-san tells Seki-san

I love you Onee-chan!

Seki-san blushes in embarrassment.

I haven’t decided whether I would become your sister or not!

But still.you already are. Our Onee-chan!

Nei-san said smiling.

Reika.break the door!

Okay!

Reika holds her death cane.

There’s no need to do this.if Tanizawa-san wishes for us to escape then he can just unlock the door

Kouzuki Kenshi says ironically

Tanizawa-san is a salary man you see.he would be in trouble later if there’s no evidence that we escaped on our own. He’ll sayI heard that they’re likely to escape from the bug but when I tried to deal with it, they already broke the door and left the room Margo-san said.

.Here I come

.Doguaa!

The special alloy stick pierces and destroy the electronic lock part of the door!

.Gii

Okay, it’s open.let’s go

Margo-san goes out of the room first.

Margo-san explored the door leading to theheadquarterswhich is on the other side of the corridor just in case. The doorknob doesn’t turn. She knocks into the thick metal door.

Yeah.looks like they’re not on this floor.

Theheadquartersis an elevator, and it’s built to move around 5 floors freely.

Right now.it’s likely that they moved to another floor.

This floor is the top floor where theheadquarterscan move, right?

Nei-san nodded at Margo-san’s question.

Then that means that Chief Tanziawa is on the lower floors.

Then, should we go down?

Assuming we want to confront Cesario Viola.we only have to go down

Of course.that’s going to a more dangerous location

Should I be the vanguard?

Seki-san who’s the master of the map proposes to Margo-san.

No. We’ll change the formation but, Seki-san will have to stay in the second row please

Margo-san answered.

The vanguard will be Michi-chan

.Certainly If you think something’s strange even if it’s just slight, report it. No, I don’t mind if you attack before attacking. I’ll leave that to Michi-chan’s judgement

Margo-san seems to be intending to make full use of Michi’s ability to feel theQi

Take out your whip.if you take it out when you feel the danger, you won’t make it in time

Roger

Michi takes out the red whip from under her skirt.

Seki-san will be on second row, please navigate Michi-chan and make follow-ups

I better have my pistol out too, right?

Seki-san takes out the revolver pistol from her concealed holster

Oh, that’s not automatic? Don’t automatic have a higher number of bullets than the revolver?

Margo-san looks interested.

It’s better to have more bullets if you’re a combatant, but.I’m a guard. We’re not supposed to take the initiative to attack you see? Therefore, I’m using a revolver that works reliably in any situation than an automatic with a large number of bullets Since the level of the machines are better than they used to be, it’s rare for the automatic to jam, isn’t it?

But.this lumpy pistol somehow makes me calm. It’s trustworthy, or rather Oh.that’s great

Margo-san’s convinced from what Margo-san said.

Then.Reika-oneesan will be on the third row. Please guard Nei, him, and Yukino-san

.Sure

Reika’s weapon can only attack at short range.

Margo-san seems to have judged that it’s better for her to change positions with Michi

Then, I’ll be on the rear

Margo-san takes command while watching the surroundings from the back

That part doesn’t change.

Uhm, what about me?

Kouzuki Kenshi asks.

You’re going to follow us three meters behind. When enemy comes attacking you then shout out loud. We’ll change to an interception stance while you’re rolling around in pain. Try not to be killed instantly without making at least a noise. You’re the shield when we’re attacked from the behind so try to attract the enemy before you die Margo-san said smiling.

Uhm.I’m going to get killed?

Who knows? Well, try to do your best alone. If you’re lucky then you would live with just a major injury?

Margo-san clearly declares she’s not willing to protect Kouzuki Kenshi

Ahahaha.that’s a nice joke

No jokes.I’m serious

Margo-san’s eyes are cold.

Sorry but, from now on.we are already filled with just protecting ourfamily Take care of yourself. We don’t have any obligation to help you

Ahahaha.Seriously? Yeah.seriously

Kouzuki Kenshi seems to have noticed that he’s in the danger zone for the first time.

Kouzuki Kenshi who’s been treated as a special member of Kouzuki house all this time. He has been taught and convinced that it’s natural for others to take care and protect him. But.in this place. Thatlogicdoesn’t work. We’re already are at the limit of just protecting ourselves. We don’t have the leeway to protect other people.

As expected.should I shut in myself in that room?

Are you sure about that? That room’s door is broken already.you don’t mind being alone in there?

Margo-san smiles

.I’ll go with everyone

Kouzuki Kenshi steels himself.

Okay.let’s go with this formation Seki-san, please navigateus

.We’re going down? Yes

Margo-sansaid

Perhaps.Kouzuki-san and Minaho are below this floor. If the whole fight is planned by Kouzuki-san.then he should be thinking of interviewing Cesario Viola when the enemy strength is exhausted
