Without Kouzuki house’s backing, she’s just a naive girl who has no way of earning her living.
That’s just the same as before
Yes? Not Ruriko now.but insteadRuriko who was a lady of Kouzuki house, a powerless girl.
Ruriko
.Yes, I think it is as you say
Look, nothing changed.Ruriko is still Ruriko .That is, true. I was under the impression that the power of Kouzuki house was my own. Not just the power.the tradition of the house and the honor as well.you’re putting it on top of yourself .Yes
Ruriko looks down.
.Do you get it?
.I’ve always been a low-born woman from the start
.aah!
.Geez!
Why are you now self-depreciating? Are you a roller coaster?
.Onii-sama? Well true.your birth is of a noble family, it’s definite that Ruriko’s a noble! But you see, that said.you’re only a noble or a low-life? Is there no normal inside Ruriko’s head? But.I’m truly a lowly woman.I’m just a woman who can’t do anything by herself! .That doesn’t mean that Ruriko’s worthless!
I shouted.
When you were smiling, I was happy. I felt I’m having fun. Ruriko’s an amazing beauty so I’m happy just having you stay by my side
me?
Ruriko’s eyes opened wide.
.I can’t express it in words that well but, anyway, Ruriko’s not worthless. Ruriko has a worth. At least, I do feel that Ruriko has. Therefore, don’t belittle yourself.Ruriko, you’re cute
.Ruriko
I feel like I have neverexistedto most people until now
.Huh? Everyone in the family, my friends at school, even everyone at the dance practice.they look at me but never looked at me. Even if they turn their eyes at me, their hearts feel like they’re turned away.
.Ruriko.
I especially felt that during the presentation from the day before yesterday. I was dancing off in front of everyone and yet.everybody isn’t looking at me
A few days ago.I remember Ruriko’s dance on the stage.
It’s an amazing dance. But, the audience.towards the daughter of Kouzuki house. They didn’t applause. They felt like praising Ruriko is a blasphemy to Kouzuki house.
Back then, Onii-sama gave me a flower.
Yeah, I.
I feel sorry that Ruriko’s the only one who couldn’t have flowers
Ruriko felt shocked.
Onii-sama.has never seen me as the daughter of Kouzuki house from the beginning
Didn’t I tell you that?Ruriko is Ruriko. For me, you’re only a cute girl!
Ruriko’s cheeks blushed.
.Onii-sama
.What?
Nei who’s looking at us.speaks
Yo-chan, Ruriko wants to hold hands it seems
.Oh
Ruriko’s cute hand is extending towards me.
Yeah, let’s hold hands.Ruriko
I hold Ruriko’s hand.
And then! This hand is mine!
Nei grasps the other hand
Really, you people are such in a good relationship
Seki-san said.
Jealous? Seki-san wants to hold hands too?
Nei-san presents her hand to Seki-san.
Well, I guess I should!
Seki-san holds Nei’s hand.
The four of us walk side by side, holding hands.
Seki-san, you actually want to hold Yo-chan’s hands, right?
Nei asks.
I’m fine for now.I’ll aim for the times you’re away
Why? Well.when you’re close, it won’t end with just holding hands, right? .Gunu. That might be. Ahahaha
Nei laughs.
Anyway, it’s the four of us for now. The four of us move forward.
We arrived in front of Seki-san’s Dodge Charger in the parking lot.
This is far away from the cars of Kouzuki security service. Seki-san purposely parked here as she saw Asami-san’s plan. I can’t see any guards nearby.
Then.what should we do after this?
I ask Seki-san.
We’ll ride my car.and leave this place. Meeting up with Margo-san outside.that’s the plan
Then, we’ll take Ruriko back to themansion
But.what about Iwakura-san?
We can’t just leave her alone.
Well.Sensei will just negotiate with Tanizawa-san and pick her up later! We can’t do anything until we escaped safely
True.at this stage, she might be used as a negotiating card to take back Ruriko.
Anyway, we have to take away Ruriko first.
Well, she’ll be fine. I think that she’s satisfied doing that perverted exhibition play in front of everyone from Kouzuki clan! Or rather.I think that she’s still naked at this stage. Even if she’s surrounded by the guards, I think that she’d just show off and sayLook, look at me!
Nei’s imagination is probably right.
.Who is she?
Ruriko asks me.
Oh, she’s just a horny princess of the nymphomaniacs
I don’t want her to know too much about Iwakura-san.
She’ll return to the country of perverts soon so you don’t have to mind her
Well, anyway, she’ll be fine. She’s enjoying it
Nei said.
Rather than that.Seki-san, you’re coming with us too right? Seki-san’s going to be kidnaped together with Ruriko!
Nei changes the topic.
Well. For the time being, I will.afterwards, it’ll depend on chief Tanizawa’s movements
.Chief Tanizawa?
.Not Jii-chan?
Kakkahas agreed that you’ll take away Ruriko-sama, hasn’t he? Then there’s no problem. It’s only chief Tanizawa. In a sense.this is an act of picking a fight with Kouzuki security service you see?
Yeah, .we just kidnapped Ruriko openly from the guards of Kouzuki security service.
.Seki-san, you might be dismissed though?
Nei asks.
I’m prepared for it.I double-crossed Tanizawa-san
It’s fine, get fired! Then, come to us.right, Yo-chan?
Nei says, but.
Well, what should I do? I don’t think that Kuromori house has a much higher pay than Kouzuki security service though!
That’s not true.should I go ask Sensei?
.Then
That would be troublesome. It would be painful for me if Seki-kun quits now!
Chief Tanizawa appears from the shadow of the car
Tanizawa-san.why?
Seki-san’s surprised.
You thought that I can’t move away fromKakkabecause I’m guarding him?
Chief Tanizawa smiles.
WhenKakkahas entered the restaurant.I let Ootoku lead the site. He’s only beenKakka’sguard for these past few years but he’s also got a high commanding ability.Seki-kun might not know about it though. I saidI’ll interrogate the woman from earlierand left.
This might be bad.
That’s quite the show.I feel sorry for the elders of Kouzuki house but there’s zero casualties nor injuries. The bus owned by Kouzuki security service got slightly worn down on its tires. Oh, and that girl’s piss has to be disinfected too.
Just send us the bill!
Nei said.
Don’t mind it.our men will make the expense somehow. It has helped me in a lot of ways too
.Huh?
Anyway.I’m grateful that the honor of Kouzuki security service didn’t collapse. Even if Ruriko-sama’s taken way at that time.nobody from Kouzuki house would notice. It’s a well-thought plan.was it Seki-kun’s plan?
Margo-san and I cooperated on it .I see
Chief Tanizawa laughs.
Thanks to that.I managed to push it forcibly, the new manager’s also dismissed. If she shows such a blunder in front of Kouzuki house’s people.even she would be convinced to retire
Does he mean Asami-san?
One of the big shots from Kouzuki house shoves her saying.as replacement to Yamaoka, make her the director. Just because her father’s a politician and their friend.
Asami-san’s appointment wasn’t selected by chief Tanizawa?
Seki-san’s surprised.
Obviously. There’s no way I’d chosen such a useless person you know? With Shigeaki-sama’s death and Shiba-san being on top of the office.Kouzuki house is in a confusion right now. If it’s not balanced well a d post various faction members.the internal struggle would intensify. Kakka’salso suffering from it.
.I see.
It’s fine. It’s fine for that woman to have a record of being the security manager of Kouzuki security service even for just a day. She’ll manage somehow after that. If she wants to be a politician, it’s better for her to be out as soon as possible Chief Tanizawa speaks as if throwing up
