Shou-neechan must be busy withdrawing work from the studio.
I’ll be flirting with Cordelia on the rear seat so take the front
Kyouko-san tells me.
Ugh, the passenger seat. Really?
I’m afraid to open my eyes in front but, I have no choice.
Kyouko-san and Miss Cordelia get in, I also board in.
Chief Yazawa talks to Kyouko-san while checking the pilot equipment.
Are you sure, Kyouko? Huh, about what?
Kyouko-san asks back.
How long are you going to keep it a secret to this boy? Why should I? Minaho or Katsuko will be explaining once we return anyway, right?
She answers bluntly.
But still, he’s reticent. It’s my first time seeing a man who never gets in the way
Miss Cordelia looks at me from the back seat.
He’s been quiet all the time during the uproar. He was just quietly watching so he won’t get in our way No, even if you say that
I reply to Miss Cordelia.
I’m just brought here as an extra. I don’t stand for any role
Then, Kyouko-san.
That’s not true. It was essential to bother to bring you here. Thanks to you, Reika-chan has calmed down
She tells me.
Yes. I mean, if an ordinary guy is brought to that place, he would be making a lot of noise saying What’s that? What’s going on? Do it this way, If that were me, I would do this, right? That’s why I hate men Miss Cordelia said then sent a gaze to chief Yazawa.
It seems that she’s feeling displeased with his question Are you sure, Kyouko?
Well, sorry about that
Chief Yazawa snorts his nose.
But, I’m also a man. I’m filled with curiosity too
Saying that. She looked at me.
Are you not afraid?
What?
Kyouko is now a bomb terrorist. And you know the fearsome conspiracy of Kouzuki service and Kyouko. Do you not think of people like us as dangerous?
Why?
Do you not imagine getting pushed out of the helicopter along the way?
Err.
Uhm, well, if that happens, I can do nothing about it
I replied.
Can’t do anything?
Chief Yazawa’s shocked.
Yes. That’s only an afterthought Afterthought? Before anything, getting to the helicopter is scary. All I had to do is believe and entrust my life to Yazawa-san But you don’t trust me that much, do you?
Hmm.
Well, I do, on its own way What do you mean by that Yazawa-san doesn’t do meaningless things. If there’s merit on killing me then you would, if there wasn’t, then you won’t Yeah, I see
Chief Yazawa’s convinced.
But, what if someone who benefits from it without you knowing? I might suddenly kill you, you know? Then there’s nothing I can do by then
I answered right away.
Are you just giving up? I mean, I’m already dead before I notice it, right? I’m sure that Yazawa-san or Kyouko-san has a method to make sure that I’m killed
They’d kill me instantly making sure that I can’t be revived later.
Just like how Miss Cordelia killed Ruriko’s father.
You’re quite philosophical No, that’s not it, Minaho-neesan is What about Minaho?
Kyouko-san asks me.
Minaho-neesan didn’t come and left everything to Kyouko-san. She knows that I would go here
Katsuko-nee contacted Shou-neechan means that Minaho-neesan knows.
Therefore, I have nothing to worry about
If it really is dangerous, then Minaho-neesan won’t send me alone.
But, Minaho’s not omnipotent. You know that there are cases where things go out of her expectations, right?
Kyouko-san asks me.
Yes, But, I believe Minaho-neesan, I don’t regret dying even if Minaho-neesan’s expectations went off
Yeah, if my luck goes bad, I have to give up.
I see, is that why you don’t ask us anything?
Miss Cordelia laughs.
You know that things that are happening in front of you are strange, right?
Even I do know that strange things are happening.
But.
But, I’ve only seen one side of what happened
What I only saw is the broadcast from the operation room and Kyouko-san’s exchange.
You can’t see the whole thing just from one side Hmm, it doesn’t seem that your intuition is dull
Chief Yazawa tells me.
I mean, even though there’s so much happening, Yazawa-san only said Isn’t that a bit too much? and yet Shou-neechan’s calm, and Kyouko-san’s calm as well
That’s right. Back then, Everyone:
They just watch what’s happening as usual.
In short.
Everything was just as planned, isn’t it?
Kyouko-san:
I see now why Minaho accepted you
She smiles.
Just like an elementary school boy who found something to play at.
Indeed, you’re also someone on this side
Chief Yazawa.
You also are suited to Misuzu-sama’s judgment. I also accept you. Young boy
Then, he starts the helicopter engine.
It will get noisy for a while so enjoy watching the night view instead!
Actually, once the helicopter flies up, you can’t have a conversation because of the noise and vibration.
Chief Yazawa’s wearing a radio headphone.
I’m also doing all I can just clinging on the seatbelt.
I don’t want to ride any more helicopters after this.
The difficult time ends, and the helicopter comes back to the hotel in the city.
We arrive at the rooftop heliport.
WHEN
GETTING
OFF! BE
CAREFUL
OF
THE
ROTOR
BLADES! I KNOW!
Chief Yazawa and I shout at each other, trying to be louder than the helicopter’s noise.
I lower my head, squat and get off the helicopter.
Then.
Nei and Edie are with the members of Kouzuki security service who’s coming to meet us.
Welcome back! Yo-chan!
Oh, Nei also knew that I went to Green Mountain Studio.
Then that means that all the elder sisters know.
Edie hugs me on the back.
WooH Hoo! 1
Oh, she’s making a check on Miss Cordelia?
The dinner at the Chinese restaurant has ended, everyone’s back the Junior suite from earlier, so I came to pick you up!
Nei smiles at me.
I see, Margo-san’s escorting everyone in the family.
Nei had Edie escort her to here.
My, you really look cute now
Miss Cordelia look at Edie and said.
Did you make her a woman already?
Miss Cordelia asks.
Later, right, Yo-chan?
Nei replies instead of me.
Oh, I see
Miss Cordelia smiles.
Cordelia, you and I are going to report to old man Kouzuki
Kyouko-san tells her.
Nei, I’ll show up later so tell Minaho not to leave right away Okay, got it! Kyouko-san!
Kyouko-san and Miss Cordelia go to the elevator first.
Wait, I’m getting in too
Chief Yazawa who received the report during his absence from his subordinate jumps to the elevator.
When the door closed and Miss Cordelia’s gone, Edie finally calms down.
Haufuu
She sighs quite long.
She’s still hugging me from behind.
What’s wrong, Yo-chan?
Nei asks me.
Helicopters are scary. I feel my feet still shaking That’s not it
Err.
Yeah, Rei-chan’s okay now That’s not it either but, sure!
The next elevator comes.
We ride in it.
We then walk in the hotel without saying anything.
Although I can’t tell if there are some eavesdropping microphones around, it has become common sense, so I’m not saying anything.
Then, we pass through the watchmen from Kouzuki security service and return to the Junior Suite that’s prepared as Misuzu and Ruriko’s dressing room.
Ah, Onii-chan, welcome back! Where’s Misuzu-san?
Mana greets me.
Oh right, Mana and the others think that I’ve been on the lower floor, at the party with Misuzu and Ruriko.
Well, Misuzu and Ruriko are with Jii-chan, greeting a lot of people. I don’t have a place there, so I came back Oh right. Michi-san is with them, so it’s safe
