What to do?
Chapter 748
Edie, could you explain it to me now?
I said.
I don’t think that Nei and everyone is seriously trying to kick out Megu.
I’m sure that this is just the means to an end.
Torturing her with logic, cornering her mentally, and negotiating to move forward.
That’s Minaho-neesan’s process.
The Japanese people really love to beg formally, don’t they?
Edie says without caring about my question.
And so when the other side apologizes, it’s done, you ignore the rest. If you apologize, you lose. If the other party apologized, you win. Then, it’s game over. That’s how it feels like
Oh? I don’t think that’s exclusive in Japan. I think there’s a lot of countries who value honor a lot
Kana-senpai said.
The Japanese interpretation of honor is different compared to Asia. In Japan, there’s this interesting belief that if you apologized in words, then it must end there. It’s different in other parts of Asia. Apologizing means admitting that one made a mistake, and so the other party would burn them. The apology would continue forever or for as long as they desire compensation. The apology is a start line on yielding to the other side, not the goal. And it’s nothing like the GAME OVER NO SIDE, Japan’s thought process I get that, but what does it have to do with this case?
I don’t get it.
I don’t think that the Japanese thought is perfect either. What I mean by that is that even if one apologized, and the other party accepted it, and yet, inside, the person has no intention of apologizing, and the other side has no plan of receiving it either Oh, I get that now.
I had that experience with Mana.
When we just met Mana, she kept on promising that she’ll be our ally, but,
Inside her mind, she kept thinking about how to escape from us.
You can’t trust words
Edie said and looked at Megu.
I see.
Last night, Megu looked like Minaho-neesan convinced her, but,
Inside, she’s not.
And that’s why words are futile. Just like with the Yakuza from earlier
Edie said.
Yakuza? What’s that about?
Kana-senpai asks out of curiosity.
uhm, our family had some issues with the Yakuza
Luna tries to explain it with a perplexed face, but,
Then, Kouzuki SS got in between and dealt with the Yakuza from Kansai. Then, the head of Kouzuki house negotiated with the bosses of the Yakuza there, gave them a hard blow and eventually made them yield
Edie follows up what Luna said.
Nii-san and Edie-san were in the same place as them
The head of Kouzuki house? You mean?
Yeah, Misuzu’s grandpa
Kana-senpai asks. Edie replies.
While at it, Reika was in there
Fujimiya Reika? That’s amazing Nobu, to think that you’d show up there
Kana-senpai looks at me with sparkling eyes.
Err.
She’s misunderstanding something.
All I did was stand in there. Edie and Michi are amazing ones. These two knocked out at least 20 Yakuza guys each
In Michi’s case, that includes her mother.
No, I don’t need to tell them that.
And for now, the Yakuza in that place all surrendered to Kouzuki house. They have their heads bowing down. Or so they say. It’s Kouzuki house’s win no matter how you look at it
Edie said.
But that’s far from the truth. Yakuza speaks apologies, but inside their head, they think Goddammit! Everyone knows that they’re not sincere with what they say. And so, that wasn’t even a deal. It’s just a start of a new war Margo-san talked about it earlier.
Things aren’t done yet there.
That’s obvious. Knowing the Yakuza’s attitude, they don’t apologize at all. It’s not just in words. Not even in appearance. It’s natural. If their true intentions are discovered, they would be crushed
Apologizing only for the appearance is meaningless.
The Yakuza thinks with the common sense of Japan, and so they think that Kouzuki Ojii-san is okay with their apology. Maybe, they’re riding the bullet train by now filled with the thought that they have the leeway. They’d consult their allies on how to take revenge on Kouzuki house Edie laughs.
But, Kouzuki SS has their countermeasures for that already. Kouzuki SS would definitely send a detached force to the Yakuza coming back to their stronghold
Jii-chan beats them to the punch.
The Yakuza won’t expect Kouzuki SS to move so fast. They think that Kouzuki is naive of the people around him. That’s how they see him. That is why they’ll suspect everything
The leaders of Yakuza must erase Oodori and Satake as they promised Jii-chan that they will. They agreed to take down the organization of the two.
Therefore, nothing will happen until they arrive in Osaka.
They won’t suspect Kouzuki house, which was the one that made the deal, but they’ll doubt the remnants of Oodori and Satake’s organization first.
Then, Kouzuki SS will use that chance to start their next strategy.
The Kansai Yakuza will be forestalled.
Do you get it? If the Yakuza didn’t just show it through words, but also show good faith as well, this wouldn’t happen
Good faith, what is that?
Luna asks.
It means that if one risks their life in it, the other has to reply with their life as well
Edie said.
The Kouzuki side brought in Takakura Kiyomi there to purposely let the Yakuza understand what’s going on. If that’s the case, then the Yakuza should’ve dealt with Oodori and Satake in front of Kouzuki house
Kouzuki house brought in Kiyomi-san, the mastermind of the whole event.
She confessed about everything that she did.
And she committed suicide in front of the Yakuza.
Then.
The Kansai Yakuza;
They should’ve killed Oodori and Satake while Jii-chan’s watching.
If there would be a quarrel between the Yakuza, it would be that one. But, the Yakuza underestimated Kouzuki house because they’re an organization on the surface. They should’ve disposed of the two on the spot right after Kouzuki Ojii-san said that he’s letting them take care of it. Despite all that, the Yakuza put off the disposal of Oodori and Satake, they think that it would be convenient for the reorganization of the Yakuza world in Kansai. They’ll appeal to the subordinates saying I will take care of your boss They didn’t kill Oodori and Satake to keep the balance of lives as Kouzuki house stressed Kiyomi-san’s death, but instead.
They prioritized getting the upper hand in the Kansai Yakuza world and took Oodori and Satake out of the hotel alive.
They incurred Jii-chan’s wrath.
They didn’t sincerely apologize, yield, and accept the deal given to them.
And so, Kouzuki SS will take the initiative and attack them.
Words are not enough. You see the thought of others through actions
Edie said.
Megumi’s like that. Don’t listen to her. She says what you want to hear after all
Megu;
i always think of Yoshi-kun first
And look at that example
Edie sighed.
Then.
Let’s undress for a bit. Megumi, you, and me
She tells Kana-senpai.
undress? Uhm
Kana-senpai looks at me bashfully.
Could it be that we’re doing it here?
Edie.
That depends. But before that, I want you to show off your body to Megumi
Kana-senpai showing off her body?
A person’s body shows their thought. Once she sees your body, she’ll understand why Nei and the girls thought that you’re necessary for Darling
What? Can you tell that from looking at Kana-senpai’s naked body?
Oh, got it. I’ll take mine off first then. Then, explain it while looking at my body
Edie stands up and starts to take off her clothes.
Err, what? What explain?
Kana-senpai, Megu, Luna, and Mana are all surprised.
Edie took off her clothes right away, and now she’s only wearing underwear.
So, what do you think after looking at my body?
She asks Kana-senpai first.
Hmm, it’s trained. I guess?
