Ranting, crying, screaming.this triple triangle is an endless waltz This personality probably won’t get cured. Then.the phone room rings.
Yes.hello?
Nagisa who’s nearby answered the phone.
For you.it’s Misuzu
.Misuzu?
Looking at the clock.the time’s already past 9:30 It’s two hours later than the usual morning call.
Thanks. Nagisa
I receive the handset from Nagisa.
Hello.what’s wrong? Morning pee?
Is Misuzu holding back?
Her bladder didn’t burst, did it?
Good morning. Danna-sama.I’m already done peeing. I won’t do something that would bother Danna-sama at this kind of time
You did it properly? Yes. Uhm.I’m sorry for peeing on my own No, I’m fine as long as Misuzu’s healthy. I’m a bit worried after all. Misuzu’s worried ass well.I’m relieved to hear Danna-sama being energetic I’m fine. What about there?
Ruriko who’s father suddenly passed away.
The wake would be today and tomorrow will be the funeral service
.I see.
Jii-chan intends to finish his son’s funeral in a hurry. While the public eyes are focused on Shirasaka house’s scandal.
Ruriko’s behaving bravely. Yoshiko-san and I are here with her.Seki-san and Michi are also with us
Yeah, I’ll go there later. It might be at night but.I also want to go to Ruriko’s father’s funeral Yes, I’ll be waiting. I tried calling Danna-sama’s phone several times but I can’t connect
I see.
I haven’t answered the calls on my phone. So Misuzu called me through the hotel.
Yeah.Err, where’s my phone? I think someone’s taken it but I haven’t got it back yet. I’ll call you when I have it
Just in case, I’ll tell you my phone number for the time being. Right.Nagisa, you got any paper to write on?
Megu hands over a pen and paper.
Here, Yoshi-kun
As expected.she’s really tactful.
I wrote Misuzu’s phoen number.and Ruriko’s father’s funeral location.
I’ll contact you later.
Yes, I’ll be waiting
The call ended.
.Where’s Aoyama Funeral?
I asked, Katsuko-nee.
Of course it’s in Aoyama. It’s the biggest funeral venue in Japan
As expected of Kouzuki house.
I want to go to Ruriko-san’s father’s funeral
Megu tells me.
Ah, Mana’s coming too!
We can’t go.it’s a place where nobles gather
Katsuko-nee said sadly
.There’s the possibility of people that knows Kurumori would come.
Kouzuki Shigeaki-san wasn’t our guest. Kouzuki-sama has never brought his sons to the mansion. But, if we show ourselves in the funeral, some of them might misunderstand
Minaho-neesan, Katsuko-nee, Nagisa.better shouldn’t show themselves there.
Margo.take the children there later
Sure, Minaho. We can do it at night? Yes. Because it’s a wake. It’ll only be a nuisance if you go too early I’ll go too!
Nei-san said.
We can just go in our uniforms, right?
Megu tells me.
Ah, what about me?
Mana shows a troubled face.
If I wear uniform.they’ll find out that I’m Shirasaka Maika
Yeah. Girls from Mana’s school might come.
Mana-san will have to buy a mourning dress on the way
Minaho-neesan said.
Well then.it’s about time we go back to ourdear home!
Kyouko-san said energetically
I still have to get Sousuke
Yukino’s listening to that word.
When we called Kudou-papa through the extension just as he told us.it wasn’t Norma-kun but Tony-san who came immediately
.What’s this?
Tony-san brought a number of black cloaks and tiger masks.
Oh, sorry, but; Please disguise with this. We have to break through the police.
No, I understand that we have to disguise so we can’t be identified, but.
Why tiger masks?
It’s our boss’ hobby!
This black cloack?
So you won’t knowwho’s the real one!?
.I don’t get it
All of it.
Why am I the only one with a black tiger mask!
For some reason, the mask handed to Yukino is a black tiger.
Ah, the true identity of the black tiger isRollerball, Mark Rocco According to Mr. Takahashi, he’s living in Canary Islands, Spain right now!
I don’t get what Tony-san is talking about.
Anyway, everyone.please wear the mask and cloaks!
I don’t get it but.
I’ll do as told for now
Wow, everyone’s having the same face!
Mao-chan looks amused but.Mao-chan is also wearing a tiger mask.
Masks for infants are very common Sister Edie. She’s so excited wearing a mask that she started shadow boxing Margo-san talks in English to calm down Edie.
Err, boss is in the police zone right now.nobody open their mouth. Also, please don’t leave any fingerprints. Please be careful about your hair. Those guys will be secretly taking samples from you.
What’s with the police?
Well then, I’ll show the way.please follow me
Tony-san goes ahead holding a triangular flag.
The flag saysTora no ana line.
Going the elevator hall, we the black cloak group in tiger masks walk in line.
Following Tony-san’s flag.Kyouko-san, Minaho-neesan, Margo-san, Katsuko-nee, Nagisa, Mao-chan, Nei-san, sister Edie, Mana, Megu< Reika, and Yukino. The thirteen tiger masks walk. .It’s surreal. There’s only one black tiger.
Then, we’ll head down through two elevators. The destination is Basement 2. We’ll be leaving through the underground parking lot. Ah, the elevator is controlled over there so it’ll go non-stop. We won’t be stopped halfway Tony-san explains.
Yeah. It would be helpful if we can get down without having to face anyone. Tony-san waves his hand on the camera in front of the elevator. The two elevators open their doors at the same time. Oh.Norma-san in the headquarters is controlling everything
Okay, please get in
We ride on the elevator.
We broke up into senior and younger groups. But, Mao-chan and sister Edie are on the senior group. In exchange, Nei-san and Reika are on our elevator. Reika’s our guard for the time being. Even if we didn’t press the elevator button, the Basement 2 button is already glowing.
Somehow, it feels exciting
Nei-san in her tiger mask says happily
No, I’m wearing tiger mask too.
This looks idiotic.this is truly stupid!
Yukino.you who wear the black tiger mask looks the most stupid
.Ding!
The door opens at the Basement 2.
Kudou-papa’s waiting ahead.
Great, everyone’s here. Let’s go!
The head changed from Tony-san to Kudou-papa.
The large group of 15 people.walks away from the elevator hall. In basement 2’s parking lot, there are people who are clearly police officials.
Hey, Kudou! What’s with that group?
A 40 year old high pressure old man calls out Kudou-papa.
That’s obvious you see. It’s the Tigers
Kudou-papa answered.
.Oosaka? Or Detroit?
Not that Tigers
Kudou-papa grins.
This is Julie, this isSally, this isTop, this isTarou, and this guy’sPee The remaining ones are all Kishibe Shiro
.All? Yeah.all of them areKishibe Shiro .Oh
The detective like man laughs.
Then.what about you who’s leading these guys? Yuya Uchida?
The lead of Tigers. It’s obviously Watanabe Misa!
The two of them laugh.
I don’t understand the talk of the two middle aged men.
Clear the way. Both me and the Tigers are having a day off. I want to go home and sleep
Kudou-papa glares at the detective
Before I noticed.the police officers are gathered around us.
Nobody should go out until the field investigation is over.that’s the orders from above
The detective tells Kudou-papa
I don’t think I need to hear that kind of command
Kudou-papa returns bold words
Kudou.don’t underestimate the state power!
You’re the one who shouldn’t underestimate the citizens! .A Kouzuki house’s dog seems to have a very bossy mouth Bark bark.what abut you, your salary’s low isn’t it? If you bark badly it’ll come back on you Right back at you. We can crush you even without the help of Kouzuki house
