Seki-san said.
I don’t want to be seen taking you out. This place is a blind spot in the parking lot among the placement of the security guards. Especially now that everyone’s preparing to moveKakkaand everyone in Kouzuki house.the uniformed group would be clumping up there. Therefore, nobody can confirm that you’re riding my car. But, at the exit gate of the parking lot, there’s obviously guards standing.
Oh, so I should hide until we get out of the gate from the funerary?
.Got it
I got off the passenger seat and went to the back seat.
I cover my head with a blanket. On top of that, Seki-san covers with her jacket.making it a camouflage.
Okay.we’re heading out
The engine’s ignited.
Oh, true.it’s not an old car’s engine. There’s not much vibration.not even loud sounds.
Ahn, as expected the American cars don’t have rough engines.it’s quite boring that it’s quite though. But, for official work, nobody would be troubled with this car.
Seki-san says while starting the car.
Well, Benz.Japan cars, or Lexus would be fine too though. Really. But you see, I don’t like it. That’s why even I know that I’m just crazy to purposely ride an old American car that’s remodeled
Seki-san mutters, laughing at herself.
.But that kind of commitment is very much liks you
I said from under the blanket.
Is that so? Thanks
The black painted 1974 Dodge Charger SE (Kai).goes through the parking lot and arrived at the gate.
Good work.I’ll be heading to the next point. Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san will be followingKakka!
Roger!
Seki-san’s also one of Jii-chan’s full time guards.
Her face is the most known among the top elites of Kouzuki security service. The guard at the gate didn’t check inside the car and just let the car pass through via Seki-san’s face.
.Wait a moment. I’ll check if there’s anyone tailing
Seki-san said when we get on the road.
I hid under the blanket for about three minutes. Then Seki-san made her car turn left a few times.
Yeah.there’s no tail
Seki-san mutters
I wonder if Asami-san’s really a desk work person? She doesn’t have enough imagination?Or she hasn’t grasped all the uniformed people that she can’t afford to put a tail on me?oh right, you can come out now I crawl out of the blanket.
There’s a paper bag there you see? Change into the clothes inside that
Paper bag?Oh, this Takashimaya?
This.isn’t this Kouzuki security service’s uniform?
Yes. But the collar’s yellow, you see? This isn’t a regular security uniform but uniform for top elites’ assistants
.Assistant?
The top elites can have a personal assistant. You’ll be my personal assistant from now on!
Is that the play we’re going to do? No, I had an application form submitted to chief Tanizawa. However, since it wasn’t an email, I submitted the document to the headquarters this morning.it’ll be evening when chief sees that application form Chief Tanizawa’s guarding Jii-chan so he’s going to the funeral hall directly today.
There’s no need to hurry about it, and chief Tanizawa’s secretary won’t be contacting him. Besides, it’s common for the top elites to have personal assistants
Seki-san smiles through the rear mirror.
Therefore, even if I take you in that uniform.I can just sayChief Tanizawa’s informed
He doesn’t know yet because he hasn’t seen the application document.it’s unknown whether he’ll approve or not.
For the time being, we can break through the front of the crematorium security.
Obviously, chief Tanizawa’s moving on the same row asKakka.so we can get into the crematorium ahead. Well, there’s few cars and two busses on the other side so they won’t be able to speed up. Even the security guards on site pay attention toKakkathey won’t report to chief that I’ve brought in an unfamiliar personal assistant i see.
Or rather, it’s the new director, Asami-san’s job. The security on this funeral is Asami-san’s first job as the new director you see? Therefore, Asami-san’s entrusted everything so Kakkaand everyone else won’t be on direct danger. Then, Asami-san’s aptitude would be checked later. Chief is that kind of person after all I listen while changing clothes in the shadow of the seat.
Asami-san’s not one of the guards
yes, she has a quite unique career. But, she’s essentially the same as Yamaoka-san. Chief Tanizawa thinks that the top of the security department of Kouzuki security service should better be a serious and hard type of person Is that because Kudou-san and others look like fooling around?
I remember what Nei said.
Let’s see.well because the uniformed group is the face of the company, people with firm atmosphere those that seem to be popular with the upper classes of customers are better. In that meaning.they’re of different types but, Yamaoka-san and Asami-san are the same. Elite men with field guard as nature.highly educated politician elite woman They seem to be famous to the noble families.
.I see
Or rather.Tanizawa-san will be following up by himself so Asami-san will just be following steps. I give up. !
What does that mean? That means.that the chief doesn’t want to retire from the scene!
.Oh
Jii-chan.announced his retirement during the next shareholder meeting and yet. Chief Tanizawa intends to stay in the front line on duty. Therefore, he purposely made a 28 year old woman the top of the security department.
.Chief Tanizawa intends to stay in his position for 5, no 10 years
You don’t like it? Not at all! He’s a good boss. If chief Tanizawa retires, I will also retire.there’s a lot of people who thinks like that
.I see.
Surely.there’s Jii-chan’s will included
I said.
What do you mean?
Jii-chan retires and Shiba-san would become the top of the entire Kouzuki group you see. Therefore, in order to leave some influence within the group.Tanizawa-san will keep the full authority of Kouzuki security service you see?
As long as they hold Kouzuki security service, Kouzuki group will always be monitored.and they can maintain connections with other houses as well.
I don’t think so.Kakkadoesn’t need to be concerned about Kouzuki security service. It’s not a large organization.they just have to hire private bodyguards and intelligence personnel. Being connected to Kouzuki security service would possibly show the movement ofKakkaon the other side.that’s what espionage is all about. On the other hand, we can’t just pull information on the other side.
Seki-san said.
For example.there’s the placement of the security guards for today but.you can figure out which routeKakkawill pass through by how many guards are in the gate. Then, how’s the parking lot distributed to the visitors.Kouzuki groupwould know which family is being favored on.or rather, the placement today is a failure. Asami-san’s too obvious in distinguishing. Well, since she’s someone who originally wants to do politics, so it can’t be helped, but. Those who Asami-san judged worthy of preferential treatment are gathered in the parking lot with multiple guards.
So she does that.
But, with famous family like Kouzuki house.there are some who might be in a low social position but there are also those who’s likely to make a comback you see? They’re a house you should pay attention to whether they could make a comeback or not. If you haven’t considered that.and be resented in return asKouzuki house thinks that our house have fallen.or it might spread a message sayingKouzuki house has abandoned them so that house is already overon contrary.it would be a big trouble. Therefore, the nobles.doesn’t distinguish clearly but make a moderate difference.just match with the situation at that time, and you must allot delicacy.
.That’s a lot of work Yesl. They’re not just rich, they’re people with tradition and pride.that’s how nobles are
