And it’s possible that,
Kiyomi-san might be our enemy.
Is she under control of the Yakuza who took over the Takakura shrine?
Or maybe, Kiyomi-san is the one controlling the Yakuza with her Miko power.
Based on your conversation yesterday, I had Yazawa-san’s subordinates investigate in Kansai. As expected, Kiyomi-san is gone from the Takakura shrine
Right after Tsukiko’s parents were killed.
Kiyomi-san is sent to the Takakura shrine and is supposed to reside there.
Yet, she disappeared.
Then, one of our research guys got some pictures of the woman named Kiyomi-san. But this is a photo from years ago, we don’t know how she looks currently. That’s why I had the Takakura sisters check the photos we’ve collected one by one and ask them if which is the closest to the current look she had Shou-neechan said.
If the three of them are together, they could pick one out of the atmosphere, see? But if the three of them are separate, they can calm down and judge from their standpoint
I see.
Shou-neechan, do you think Kiyomi-san is in Tokyo?
By that I mean that could she be at the hotel where the deal with Jii-chan and the Kansai Yakuza would occur.
We have to think that she is
I look at Kiyomi-san’s photo again.
Dark face, eyes, not even smiling.
She’s a beauty, but she looks cold.
Kiyomi-san will be apprehended as soon as she’s found, right?
Kiyomi-san should be able to use Miko power.
The power to make someone obey and the power to read people’s minds.
It’s too dangerous.
Especially if she uses her power on Jii-chan.
She’ll know the secrets of Kouzuki house and Kouzuki group.
Jii-chan, the head would fall under Kiyomi-san’s control.
No, that’s not the directive
Shou-neechan said.
We’re not capturing her
You won’t?
We have an issue of shoot on sight on Takakura Kiyomi
Shoot on sight?
This is a secret to the sisters. That’s why you’re in this car
Shou-neechan.
Perhaps, Minaho-neesan, Margo-san, and Nei are talking about the same thing on the third car.
Only the second car passengers don’t know. No, does Rei-chan even know?
Roger
Edie said.
Huh? Kill?
Kudou Haruka trembles.
If we can’t guarantee the safety unless we kill the person then that’s the only choice. Do it as soon as possible
Edie said.
That’s how it is
Shou-neechan starts the engine.
Dorururururururu!
Then, our motorcade starts moving with us as the first car.
Chapter 725
Our train of cars leaves the main gate of the mansion safely.
As usual, there are Kouzuki SS vehicles outside.
Misuzu’s not on board so they won’t follow. They’ll most likely stay and defend the mansion.
Oh, but the police are sending someone to follow us.
Although it’s just one car.
Well, it can’t be helped. This case has nothing to do with the police
Shou-neechan smiles wryly from the driver’s seat.
We’re going to meet the Yakuza from Kansai.
The police won’t take charge of this.
Although, I talked to the department in charge of organized gangs and the public safety department as well. But, Margo-san was with me so they’d get curious. The public safety department that is
The public security department knows the fact that Margo-san is a disciple of the internationally wanted Kyouko Messer.
They don’t think that Kyouko-san would appear in a hotel where the Yakuza’s in Japan will have a meeting, but they’re sending over one just in case. The police still have to make a report of this after all.
Therefore, the number of followers is smaller than usual.
Shou-neechan already told them where and what we’re going to do.
They don’t expect the cars to separate halfway.
Well, just leave them alone. Instead, since those people are keeping track of us, the police will keep us safe until we arrive at the hotel
The Kansai Yakuza aren’t idiots.
They won’t attack us in public while the police are watching.
They’re people who would have a bad time if they’re found out that they work for the other side by the police.
They don’t want to give the police a kick to have them start investigating them either.
I’m glad that Yamaoka-san’s over there now that it has come to this
Shou-neechan said.
He’s the former director of our company’s security department so he should be acquainted with the public security police. And considering his personality, he’ll surely tell the Yakuza The police here are quite scary, and all the other unnecessary things he could tell them Why?
I asked.
Actually, public security police are only interested in Kyouko-san.
They don’t care about the Yakuza.
He’d like to show his worth as a former security director of Kouzuki SS. That’s why, he’ll go say Careful, that one’s a surveillance car from the public safety police! Those guys are much worse than the detectives assigned for the Yakuza or something like that Oh, he definitely would say that.
Besides, the Yakuza don’t deal with the public safety police either. That’s why they’d believe what Yamaoka-san would tell them and be more cautious
And so that’s why the Yakuza would refrain from attacking the mansion out of fear?
Speaking of which. They came attacking the gate yesterday, and yet,
I can’t see them anywhere today.
They don’t pick fights with people they don’t really know. Yakuza’s a gathering of timid people after all
Yakuza. Timid?
They’ll be sure to plunder everything from people they know they can win against. If it’s someone they have a chance to lose, then they won’t fight. They fear risk
Shou-neechan said.
No, but they do have the image of trying to resolve whatever using violence
That’s only for the bottom pile of the Yakuza, those who follow orders. Those people are the first to be cut off and gunned down. The upper echelon of Yakuza hates to take the risk. Nobody wants to go to jail for years because of a trivial reason. They’ve done so many things and worked hard for the organization, and so that’s why they won’t accept imprisonment unless it’s 50 or 60 years I see.
Now then, let’s return to the topic
Shou-neechan sends me a glance.
Earlier, about the discussion Misuzu-sama, had earlier about Kakka and Kuromori house, I’m in favor of it
Shou-neechan.
Ah, don’t mind it, our conversation here is private. You don’t mind exchanging ideas with me, do you?
Yeah.
Earlier, in Misuzu’s discussion.
We’re one family, but.
Minaho-neesan’s standpoint is the leader of Kuromori. Shou-neechan is an employee of Kouzuki SS. Misuzu’s position is as a relative of Kouzuki house.
Therefore, it’s a problem to talk about Jii-chan that way.
As each of their standpoint, no, it may not be accepted due to the difference in their relationship with Jii-chan.
To Misuzu, he’s her grandfather. To Minaho-neesan, he’s a business partner. To Shou-neechan, he’s the owner of the company which she belongs.
That was indeed Misuzu-sama’s rashness. She should’ve made a private consultation where there are fewer people around
But, Misuzu started talking with everyone present
To Misuzu, the current family is much more important than Kouzui house.
She must’ve wanted to talk to everyone about it and have them accept Jii-chan
It must be, but there are steps for everything
Yeah, Misuzu’s rushing things.
If Kakka were to be received in the mansion, it would become hard. It won’t be just him but also Ootoku-san, and Yazawa-san following
Oh. I see.
There’s the thought that the security wouldn’t be a problem as we can leave it to Shou-neechan and Rei-chan, but,
Jii-chan’s bodyguards won’t leave him.
Chief Yazawa also wants to check on Jii-chan’s safety all the time.
