Give it up. Kudou Haruka-san. In this place, you must follow the Kuromori house’s rules
Shou-neechan tells Haruka.
Rei-chan doesn’t even look at Haruka.
Or should I say, do you not understand how much trouble it creates if you talk to me, a bodyguard in this place?
Huh?
You’re being rude to Misuzu-sama and Ruriko-sama
If she ignores our family, then,
The masters of this place would be Misuzu and Ruriko.
Jumping over the two and asking for Shou-neechan’s help is definitely rude.
I don’t have any desire to help you, but even if I had an inkling of sympathy for you, I would never come to your help unless Misuzu-sama or Ruriko-sama gives an order
Me too
Rei-chan speaks as if spitting out.
Not even understanding that means that chief Yazawa’s decision to reject you was the correct one. In the first place, it has been a problem to keep you temporarily hired
Yamaoka-san was the director back then after all
Oh, indeed he was
Rei-chan said. Shou-neechan agreed.
Yamaoka, the former security division head of Kouzuki SS had an affair with Haruka and Michi’s mother.
Then, the mother asked Yamaoka to hire Haruka as a temporary employee.
Haruka’s mother, Etsuko also made it to a modest position in Kouzuki SS
That’s how it is, sorry but could you not talk to Reika or me? It’ll only cause trouble
Shou-neechan said with a smile.
Haruka fell on the floor.
Well then, Haruka-san, This is an order. You are to join us when we depart and work as a prostitute. Listen, this is your last chance. If you don’t follow,
Misuzu tries to put the final nail in the coffin for Haruka.
Actually, it’s Minaho-neesan who has the most power in this location.
This is the Kuromori house, and Minaho-neesan is the head of our family.
Besides, if comparing Misuzu and Minaho-neesan, then Minaho-neesan’s words have more power to control people. Her words show weight.
But Kudou Haruka doesn’t look at those.
She yields not to Minaho-neesan but to Misuzu, who she thinks is in a higher position to her because of Kouzuki family.
Knowing that; Minaho-neesan’s not speaking at all.
i understand
Finally, Haruka breaks.
Okay. You go sit next to me
Edie beckons Hauka to sit next to her.
No, uhm
Haruka doesn’t even know Edie.
She’s confused by this beautiful brown-skinned and blonde haired American.
If possible, I’d like to be in the same table as Michi and Misuzu-sama
Haruka tries to speak ambiguously, then,
Byuu!
Edie’s fist stops right before it hits Haruka’s face.
It’s not just her fist.
There’s an Anki-shuriken in between Edie’s fingers.
Say any more complaints, and you’re dead
Edie smiles.
You know, she’s one of the best in the New Orleans’ assassination cult, she doesn’t care about the optimistic ideas of the Japanese
Margo-san tells Haruka.
Well, I’m the same as her though
Oh, Haruka’s got no eyes to determine someone’s skill at a glance.
Therefore, the two decides to intimidate her so Haruka won’t look down on the two of them.
Darling, let me be the lookout for her
Ah, Haruka;
She’s still got pride when it comes to her little sister, Michi.
And so, this brown-skinned, blonde-haired, and blueyed American martial arts girl would be best suited for watching Haruka.
Thanks, Edie
Edie never overlooks something. I can trust her in this.
Now then, is everything done now? Finally, we can now eat
Katsuko-nee and Mana show out from the kitchen.
Yes, please do. Also, call out to the two who aren’t in the cafeteria yet
Minaho-neesan said.
Ah. Yukino-chan and Yoshiko-san. Nei-chan’s taking them here
I haven’t seen Nei since earlier because she’s keeping Yukino and Yoshiko-san on the other room.
If we threaten Haruka with Yukino present;
It’s possible that Yukino exposes the truth to her.
Unlike before, she thinks about things deeply now. She’s also sharp at pointing out things.
That’s why Yoshiko-san’s cooperating as Yukino’s talking partner.
Uhm, is that okay, Nii-san?
Luna asks me worriedly.
What is?
No, that, she, uhm
Oh, about bringing Kudou Haruka to the hotel?
I also am worried about her
Yeah, her heart is so jumbled up that it’s giving me a headache
Tsukiko and Yomiko say.
Even without physical contact, they sense that she’s a woman who lets out so much emotions.
Even if they don’t intend on reading her mind, Tsukiko and the girls can feel the echoes.
.I
Here. Use your mind reading on me
I stretch out my hands.
Okay
Tsukiko and Yomiko nod at each other and grabbed my hand.
Luna also joins in.
Okay, now read my mind.
Actually, even if we bring Kudou Haruka, we won’t send her off to the henchmen of Yakuza.
That’s impossible.
The guys coming from Kansai are all supposedly angry.
The other party is a group hostile to Yakuza, Kouzuki SS attacked their headquarters in Kansai. The unit they dispatched to Tokyo is almost destroyed.
They have a grudge and won’t trust us.
And yet, that Kouzuki house;
Have fun raping this high school girl and then bring Kudou Haruka to them.
They’d feel weirded out by it that they won’t do anything to her.
If it’s an ordinary prostitute, then they’d understand, but,
If they’d offer a high school student so suddenly, and furthermore, she was a women’s Karate champion.
Kou-sama. Then why?
If you ask why should we take Haruka to the venue, then,
Frankly, she’s a countermeasure to Kiyomi-san.
Huh, Why?
We still don’t know how strong Kiyomi-san’s real power is.
However, if she has a stronger ability to read people’s minds than Tsukiko, then,
I think that has merit
Kiyomi-san is the one who watched over Yomiko’s training.
Naturally, she knows the Takakura sisters well.
Therefore.
A camouflage?
Someone who doesn’t understand the situation among us.
A girl that’s scared of everything.
Furthermore, she’s quite energetic, and the waves of her emotions blast off to directions nobody could know.
If Kudou Haruka is with us, then,
I see, Kiyomi-san will be confused.
You’re right, Tsukiko
I replied.
We use to take irregular people with us before the fights. And bringing them is almost always correct. If everyone can understand the situation, then it’s possible that one may overlook something
During our fight with Cesario Viola last May,
We brought Yukino with us, even though she’s completely unrelated.
Then, thanks to Yukino’s outsiders’ point of view, we somehow managed deaths narrowly.
Kudou Haruka may prove to become useful.
She’d always react loudly in response to whatever’s happening in front of her.
Papa, why are you holding hands together?
Mao-chan looks at us.
That’s unfair! It’s just Luna and them
Agnes as well.
Oh right, sorry about that, sure, join in
I shake hands with the two.
Then.
ooh! It’s been a while! How are you? Are your injuries healed now?
Yukino who’s with Nei and Yoshiko-san enters the room and calls out to Kudou Haruka.
Yukino’s also with us in the theater where Haruka and Michi had a duel.
eeh! Shiraska Yukino? Why are you here?
Haruka’s the one surprised to see Yukino who appears on TV every week in here.
Well, that’s a question for me too. I wonder why I’m here
Yukino speaks brightly.
Oh I see, I was wearing a disguise before that’s why you don’t know it
Disguise?
Yes. Back then, what was it? Oh right, I named myself Kishima Kuroko Do you not remember Kishima Kuroko?
Sorry, I don’t
Oh, that’s unfortunate
Well, Haruka wouldn’t remember a woman wearing a strange dress as our ally.
