When that happens, it will trouble Minaho-san, won’t it? Seeing that Yazawa-san and the bodyguards are now residents
Yeah.
It would mean that Yazawa-san and others will be inside of Kuromori.
Another organization with Jii-chan as the head will live together with us.
Jii-chan will act like a king no matter where he goes.
I mean, that’s the only lifestyle Jii-chan had since he was born.
And if he’s in our house;
If Jii-chan and Minaho-neesan disagree. Yazawa-san and Ootoku-san would be on his side, and it will be troublesome.
Yazawa-san will try to meet Jii-chan’s expectations no matter how unreasonable it can be.
That’s why, it has to be discussed in private what to do specifically, and what kind of preparations and monkey business needed to accept Kakka in the house
Discussing it behind closed doors with only a few people.
Then, advancing the steps to accept Jii-chan in.
But, I agree that Kakka should live together with you guys. To an old man, it’s happiness to see the smiles of young children
Shou-neechan.
My granduncle was like that. He’s living with his son’s family, and there was a small girl in it. He looked happy to spend his old age watching the child grow. He’s passed away already though. I think it was right when the girl was about to become a high school student Old people, especially men, become happy when they spend their old age with children.
It’s a world I couldn’t understand.
Kakka’s life with only Yoshiko-sama is indeed dark. It’s nothing compared to the cheerfulness of your house. Yoshiko-sama also seemed to have fun seeing her yesterday and today
Huh, all Yoshiko-san did was talk to Yukino though
Talking about professional shogi problems,
Professional bowling organizations got taken down and something.
This morning, she was talking about mahjong competition or something.
What kind of topic is that?
Just what happened to Yukino’s interests.
That’s what’s fun about it. Listening to stories about a world you don’t know or unrelated to you eases up your mind
Shou-neechan said.
Yoshiko-sama can meet Ruriko-sama in school, but she seems to be isolating herself in the class
Isolating herself?
She’s thought to be Ruriko-sama’s friend, but she’s suddenly declared as one of the successors of Kouzuki house. Her classmates are having trouble on how to deal with her
Oh. I see.
Furthermore, most of the students there have been there since nursery, see?
Misuzu, Ruriko, Yoshiko-san, and Michi are attending the best school for the wealthy family’s daughter in Japan.
It’s an entire school from kindergarten to university.
There would be girls enrolling halfway, but most of them know each other from an early age.
That’s even more trouble. She’s thought as an attendant, and so they may have done something rude to her. They’re not that close with her so they don’t know if they should keep it or not
I see.
And when she comes home, she’s alone with Kakka. Yoshiko-sama was only an attendant before, and so all she had to focus on was to attend to Ruriko, but she’s suddenly receiving a lecture on business admin and economics It looks like that will happen if Jii-chan’s alone with Yoshiko-san.
Jii-chan’s fond of teaching. He even has his own private class.
If Ruriko-sama had been there then the two would be talking happily, but
Yoshiko-san feels lonely to be alone in the Kouzuki family’s mansion.
Therefore, she’s having fun talking to Yukino-san. Yukino-san talks to Yoshiko-sama without care after all
That’s what’s great about Yukino.
She doesn’t care who she talks to, she’ll always take it on her pace.
Therefore, I think that Yoshiko-sama’s real intention is to stay in Kuromori house
Hmm.
Got to do something about Jii-chan and Yoshiko-san.
uhm
Kudou Haruka speaks from the backseat.
What?
Shou-neechan looks at Haruka through the rear-mirror
is it okay for me to hear all of this?
Haruka asks anxiously.
Oh, you were listening?
i’m riding in the same car, I’d hear it. I heard it all
Didn’t you have the choice to pretend you didn’t hear anything?
Shou-neechan laughs.
what?
Kudou Haruka’s confused.
what does that mean?
Then, Edie who’s sitting next to her;
You’re in the same school as Michi and Ruriko, right?
yes, what about it?
Kudou Haruka’s temporarily hired to be Ruriko’s bodyguard, and so she attends the same school.
What year you’re in?
third year?
I knew it, Haruka can’t deal with this brown-skinned blonde-haired genius American girl.
Edie’s two years younger and yet Haruka’s already polite to her.
What a coincidence, if I recall, Yoshiko’s also in third-year high school
Edie smiles.
Yes, she’s in the class next to me
Kudou Haruka replies with a confused look.
That’s enough Edie-chan. Looks like we can’t use her no matter what
Shou-neechan says while operating the steering wheel.
can’t use? Me?
Kudou Haruka complains.
Do you know what information leak means?
Edie laughs as she asks.
It means to purposely let the other party discover some information to do what we want
What? What does that mean?
Oh, Haruka’s really an idiot.
Shou-neechan’s been talking to see if Kudou Haruka would try and support Yoshiko-san’s school life.
Yoshiko-san’s recognized as the daughter of Kouzuki house after all.
She’s no longer a retainer nor an escort.
It just happened that Kudou Haruka’s in the same school and she’s vacant.
It was a test whether Haruka’s useful or not.
You failed
Shou-neechan said.
what is this about?
I wonder, what do you think it is?
No, you see, you should give me a test before saying I’m disqualified. I’m not useless. I’m sure you’ll find a use for me
No, Haruka.
What happened now was the test.
Let me tell you this, for now, everything you heard just now will not go anywhere but here. If you tell anyone about it, then Kouzuki SS will dispose of you
yes!
Startled, Kudou Haruka straightens her posture.
That said, you’ll tell someone about it. I don’t mind either way. Your friends don’t trust you anymore after all
Shou-neechan said.
what are you talking about. i have a lot of friends. They all tell me that I’m a good girl!
Kudou Haruka reacts.
The students in your school are all rich family daughters, or their bodyguardsattendants, right?
Shou-neechan said.
They already know about your mother expelled from Kouzuki SS. They also know that your mother was the cause of it
Haruka and Michi’s mother had an affair with the former security director Yamaoka, and both of them were useless during the fight with Cesario Viola.
They’ve abandoned their post, and chief Yazawa fired them.
You were confined in the hospital, and so you returned after the end of summer vacation, didn’t you? Did you not notice anything strange? Weren’t they all cold to you?
That’s
Well that’s natural, they can’t get along with someone that has Kouzuki house’s eyes on
Shou-neechan said.
Kouzuki SS is no longer a part of Kouzuki group companies. Kouzuki SS has all of its shares owned by Kakka alone. Shiba-san will be the manager of the group, but even he couldn’t use Kouzuki SS. Kouzuki SS is now a private company only for Kakka Jii-chan’s second son killed the eldest, and so he created Kouzuki SS to protect the other families, especially his granddaughters.
It was Jii-chan’s second son who hired the hitman Cesario Viola.
On the surface, it looks like a company who specializes in guarding him, and other noble families, but.
In reality, it’s an organization with the combat prowess to fight even international crime groups.
Your mother worked for Kouzuki SS, and so your friends trusted you. But, your mother betrayed Kouzuki SS. Isn’t it natural for them to decline their relationship with you once that happens, don’t you think?
