What?
Who’s watching those? They have a lot of fans, even if the tickets are priced over 50,000 yen, it’s sold-out most of the time
Misuzu said.
In Japan, there’s a certain number of higher-class. And, that layer is enjoying cultural things by themselves. The country’s showing Kabuki to the middles school and high school students but the people form noble houses wants to know culture the general public don’t know Huh? Such refined things won’t be understood by the general public, and they only want to enjoy it by themselves
Misuzu smiles daly.
Therefore it’s priced 50,000 yen. Only people who can pay 50,000 yen can come to see it, or so they believe. By doing that, they can think that only they can enjoy real culture
That kind of world exists too.
It’s not limited to just opera. Even Orchestra, Kabuki, and Traditional art, there are a lot of things you can’t enjoy the aesthetics if you don’t have money. Usually, they fit in the general people, but there are places where only the people of the upper class can get in Misuzu said. You’re right, even in TV, young ladies from prestigious families are introduced but, most of them are just rich people rising up in the world or people whose house is in ruins.
Minaho-neesan said.
The real upper-class never show in front of the ordinary people Why?
I asked.
Japan is a country where everyone’s supposed to be equal and fair after the war. It was supposed to have no one born with a class. Therefore, the real noble families and upper-classes hid out of sight of the general public Hid? Look, everyone appearing in the media like business executives or something are all just upstart, aren’t they? Those born from nobility will never show up there No, but, Shirasaka’s newspaper company
Mana’s great-uncle, Shirasaka Moritsugu, was the former head of Shirasaka house. He’s showing up in media to promote his professional baseball team.
Shirasaka house hasn’t made a name for more than 50 years. They’re an upstart. What we’re talking about are genuine nobles. Genuine upper-class
Minaho-neesan said.
Yes. And people from the genuine noble families are hiding. Even Danna-sama didn’t know Kouzuki house until meeting me
Indeed.
I didn’t even know that there are noble houses in Japan.
Up until now, no, the society since post-war might’ve been good. The upper-class is hiding but, I don’t think that it will end the same
Misuzu said.
Do you plan on exposing yourself to the general public?
Chief Yazawa asks.
Certainly not, that’s not what I meant
Misuzu smiles.
I think that we should create a different image for the general public, that is my plan
Image?
Looking at the activities of Kuromori this time, I became conscious on how vital image is
Minaho-neesan released information in small amounts and threw out images and thoroughly destroyed Shirasaka Sousuke and Shirasaka house’s image.
In modern times, we’re an information society. The noble houses hid from the general public in the past, and they allowed only themselves to enjoy the culture. Someday, the world will notice the existence of the noble houses. We should act first at that time, so the image in their thoughtless minds don’t become a bad one In short, manipulating the image? We need to show up on places the general public can see to have a good image, to become a noble people love before they find us
Misuzu said.
Therefore, I asked Seki-san to become the Kouzuki security service loved by the people. It doesn’t matter if it looks very comical. If the general public feels that they are an organization from a noble house called Kouzuki clan who protects people, then that’s all good So that’s why Rei-chan’s cosplay is the highlight. In the end, Fujimiya-kun’s role is to be a camouflage to the world?
Chief Yazawa asks Misuzu.
Kouzuki security services’ true nature is my Grandfather’s private army
Misuzu speaks with a serious look on her face.
The security department itself has a job of protecting
VIP
, they’re the camouflage of the top elite, which is the private army
That’s right. The top elites are a gathering of fearsome people.
Chief Yazawa manages them.
However, for the ordinary people, they will never allow Kouzuki house to have troops and weapons
The existence of the top elites must not be known.
Therefore, the security department shows on the surface. We can exaggerate their appearance comically and make an appeal like that. From the general people’s perspective, it must be an interesting organization Misuzu tells chief Yazawa. That kind of organization will be allowed to exist. The general public will feel friendly with them and love them I see, so that’s the idea behind it
Chief Yazawa’s convinced.
Ruriko and I will show up. Especially Ruriko, we’ll emphasize her as a beautiful, high-class daughter. Then, we’ll circulate the image of Fujimiya-san, who’s a beautiful woman, working at the top of the company to protect Ruriko. That organization shows that they receive work for protecting the citizens other than Kouzuki family If we use that kind of image, the general public will accept it.
Or should I say that Rei-chan’s fans might increase?
Understood, it seems that the times are changing. Misuzu-sama, to think that you’ve considered this far
Chief Yazawa bows his head to Misuzu.
Kakka seems to think that the actions of Seki-kun and Fujimiya-kun were just a continuation of putting pressure against Shirasaka house, however,
They’re taking Yukino to Green Mountain Studio.
Yukino will be the bait for the organized crime group from Kitakyushu.
He thought that it was just Kyouko-san and Kuromori-san’s prank
Jii-chan must’ve seen it as such.
This is a series of actions caused by the revenge against Shirasaka Sousuke.
That’s how he summarizes it.
I’ll tell Grandfather the details tonight. Please cooperate with us, Yazawa-san
Misuzu also bows her head to chief Yazawa.
If it’s something I can do then I will cooperate
Chief Yazawa promised.
Then, I’ll talk to the party management. I’ll contact as soon as they made a conclusion
Chief Yazawa tells Minaho-neesan and Margo-san.
Misuzu-sama and Ruriko-sama’s bodyguards, take care of them. Kakka hasn’t been informed that the two are here, so we can’t place top elite guards
They can only send to the level of black clothes bodyguards here.
Michi-chan, Edie, and I’m here, so there’s no problem
Margo-san said
Yeah, my best regards, then, excuse me Misuzu-sama Very well, Yazawa-san
Chief Yazawa excuses himself and leaves the room.
Now then, Misuzu-chan, should you prepare for the party as well?
Nagisa smiles at Misuzu.
You too
Then, she looked at me.
Oh right
I have to change my student uniform to a suit.
As expected, I can’t wear a student uniform if I’m coming to a party where the Prime Minister will be showing.
We’ll be fine here
Minaho-neesan smiles at me.
You should help out with Misuzu-san and Ruriko-san’s preparations
No, I.
I don’t know what I should do to help women prepare for a party.
You’ll know when you’re in that room
Minaho-neesan laughs.
Margo-oneesama, can we call Megumi-san from the next room now?
Misuzu said.
it’s an excellent opportunity so I’d like to talk to her Sure, wait
Margo-san goes to the room where Megumi and others are in.
Misuzu, you want to talk to Megu?
I asked.
It’s not just me, we’d like to talk to her
We. Misuzu and Ruriko.
The two ladies of Kouzuki house.
Yes, what is it?
Megu comes from the other room.
Oh, Megumi-san, I’d like you to help me too
