I explained.

That means, the current head of Kouzuki house. The supreme authority who can move Japan’s government and the economy at his will

Nei added.

Oh

Kana-senpai nods.

And he lets Nobu call him Jii-chan?

Well, he’s Misuzu and the girls’ Grandfather

Yo-chan’s relationship with Mii-chan and Ruri-chan is officially recognized after all

Oh man, Nobu’s really out of bounds. That’s cool of you

Kana-senpai sighed.

I heard that handling my own shop, calculating the costs, then forecasting the products, and selling them is an experience, so I should do my best in it. I can do trial and error because I’m in school

If I were to open a business in the real world.

Then there are more responsibilities I have to shoulder.

Responsibilities for the customers.

Responsibilities for the person in the same business.

Once I start hiring people, they’re also my responsibility.

Saying I tried, but it didn’t work is not allowed.

If I cannot earn profits daily.

Then I can’t support the family.

I had a talk with Jii-chan the other day.

I.

A Tokugawa shogun, Tokugawa Keiki never managed a land before he became a Shogun

I said.

Tokugawa Keiki came from Ichihashi house, but Ichihashi house is a family that supports Tokugawa shogunate, they don’t have a land to rule, they just received the hereditary stipend from the lineage

Therefore.

But, the territory has a population of a fief, and the person who doesn’t have experience problems if he doesn’t govern properly became the last Shogun, and so Tokugawa shogunate didn’t go well. Jii-chan said If I recall, he returned home from Osaka in the Edo period alone.

All of his vassals abandoned him.

Indeed, the Edo castle capitulation was bloodless, but the Shogunate ignored the sympathy of people and confined himself in Shizouka. Then, the Boshin war happened, a lot of people died, he’s an irresponsible person in a sense Edie said.

And I’m told to gain various experience, even if it’s in a small bakery

Nobu, you.

Kana-senpai said. Nei stops her.

Shh, Yo-chan hasn’t noticed it yet, don’t say it!

What?

I mean, Kouzuki house and their enterprise is larger than the Tokugawa Shogunate

No, the period is different.

I don’t think you can compare them that much.

I’ll never leave you Nobu

Kana-senpai said.

That’s good. For now, we’re not reaching the point where we lose the means to make livelihood

And the rest of it is nothing but excitement

Edie and Nei said.

By the way

Nei changes the topic.

Kana-chan, as for that junior in tennis club.

Huh?

Chapter 798 - One week Later Part 3

Chapter 798. One week Later Part 3

I’m talking about the first-year tennis club member, Kiyohara Ai-chan

Nei suddenly talks to me while having lunch.

Well, after investigating the specifics for a week, the results are that she’s a girl with no connections to the underground society

Huh?

Her father’s an ordinary salaryman, her mother’s a housewife. She’s taking classes in the cultural center though. Ah, she’s not a lecturer but a student. She has no problems with her peers

You looked that up?

Kana-senpai’s surprised.

Not me. The research division of Kouzuki SS. You know, Yo-chan’s a VIP. It would be bad if he got involved with an actually dangerous girl. And so, no matter what he does.

The dispute between Kansai Yakuza and Kouzuki house continues below the surface.

And so, they’ll check everything.

Then, I had a week break after talking to Ai-chan, right?

That’s right! That one week was significant

Just eight days ago, there was a confrontation at the hotel in the city center.

The Kansai Yakuza are desperate to find Kouzuki house’s weak points.

Once they pin down that I’m going to this school, they might try to send someone to make contact with me.

Thinking that a spy is sneaking in is plausible.

However, Minaho-neesan monitors the whole school, and so she’ll know when someone is behaving strangely.

The hidden cameras and microphones within the school aren’t just for show.

While we’re at it, we also did the same investigation with Kana-chan. And now, you belong in the list of people Kouzuki SS protects

Nei said.

That said, you’re not monitored all the time, but instead, they check your location through your phone If I recall correctly. And in case something’s out of place, then they’ll send in people. Of course, people are watching you from the shadows at times right

Kana-senpai looked dumbfounded.

Then that means it would be reported if I walk together with a guy?

Huh? I mean, that guy you were with at the department store in front of the station yesterday was an older cousin of yours, right? A second-year guy

Nei smiled.

Ah, yeah.

And as for the business, your cousin’s friend liked you when he saw a pic, and he wanted to meet you at least once, but didn’t you refuse, Kana-chan?

Well, yeah

Kana-senpai’s frightened, Yukino.

If you’re surprised from that much then you won’t last long, Kouzuki SS is basically a spy network

Yukino lived together with the workers for Kouzuki SS until last week.

She’s observed 247. Thus, she knows how fearsome Kouzuki SS can be.

Naturally, you can get yourself a boyfriend, Kana-chan. Kana-chan’s free to pick your lover. Although, if you do that, you’ll have to bid farewell with Yo-chan

Nei says with a smile.

After a while, there would be people showing up and coming close to Kana-chan saying that they want to be acquainted with Kouzuki house

Me?

Mii-chan and Ruri-chan are both Yo-chan’s partners, that’s how much he’s worth

Nei looked at Kana-senpai with a straight face.

Kouzuki SS is already investigating Kana-chan’s cousin’s friend. Well, I don’t think that there would be any weird connections, but just in case. You don’t know what’s going to happen after all

Be careful about those winning a lottery or something. Enemies create every possible opportunity to get close

Edie said.

Oh right. You should refuse those free of charge nonsense. Or hand them to me. They may be wiretaps after all. And if you want something, just tell us. As long as it’s nothing much, we’ll hand them to Kana-chan as presents Kana no longer needs to go to the lottery, you’ve long hit the jackpot after all

Kana-senpai.

Don’t take anything from strange people. Kouzuki house would bring out a fraction of money, is that it?

She speaks in discontent.

No, I’m the one paying for it

Nobu?

Kana-senpai looked at me.

You’re my woman, so I’ll pay for you. Though I don’t have money right now, so someone else is settling in my behalf

But?

No, it’s not just Kana-senpai, I’m doing it with everyone. I’ve got a lot of debt, but I’ll be sure to pay it all

Nobu will?

Isn’t that why I’m working hard on this bakery?

Kana-senpai.

But your products are only priced at 100 and 200 yen.

Yeah, no matter how much I sell.

I can’t pay off the debt I have on Minaho-neesan.

But, for now, I want to plant the seeds of trade and learn from it

I.

I’m an idiot, and so I need to understand how the market works before I move forward

Nobu’s serious

Kana-senpai looked at me in the eye and said.

Okay. Nobu wants to be self-supporting even when the Kouzuki house ladies support you

Yeah. Although I can’t get the knack of it

No, I think that’s mature of you Nobu.

Kana-senpai looked at Nei.

It’s my loss. I won’t be too selfish when it comes to money. I’d rather have fun being together with Nobu

She said with a smile, but.

Not really, you should be selfish, Kana-chan

Nei?

Misuzu and Ruriko of Kouzuki house have their honor. They don’t like it if Kana’s holding back on materialism
