That’s a shame
Shou-neechan continues to smile.
Either way, that’s enough for amusement. I hope we get down to business already. Neither the witnesses nor I have the time for this farce. We just want to end this and go back to Kansai already
Oodori doesn’t back off from his pace either.
He stands firmly and shows his composure.
Michi-chan reduced the number of Satake’s Yakuza, and so he felt that he’s at an advantage now, and so he talks that way
Margo-san whispers to us.
I see. Oodori’s group was at 30 and Satake’s group was at 50.
But Michi took down some of Satake’s members with her whip.
Now, they’re in equal numbers, 30 vs. 30.
Then, the heavyweights of Yakuza are close to Oodori.
He judged that he could take the lead in this place now.
He’s foolish. Does he not understand why Kouzuki SS is putting Shou-oneesan, a young woman in the front?
Margo-san smiles wryly.
Right.
Oodori is in his 60s. Satake is in his 40s. The heavyweights in the Yakuza industry are all old men.
Kouzuki is only showing off Shou-neechan, a woman in her 20s to all these adult men.
Usually, it should be chief Yazawa who should be in charge of this location if we’re looking at their age.
After all, you’re not the one we’re to converse with. Isn’t it about time for your boss to appear? If I recall, was it Kakka? He won’t look over unless you call him that way, will he? Kukuku!
Oodori laughs.
Indeed. It seems that it will be unsatisfactory to have me entertain you for any longer
Shou-neechan shows a fearless smile.
Well then, thank you for waiting everyone. The head of Kouzuki house, Kouzuki Shigetaka-Kakka will enter
Shou-neechan announces.
Gogogogogogogogo.
A loud vibration sounds in the room.
Then.
The large curtain covering the north side of the hall,
It slowly unveils from bottom-up.
Huh?
I was sure that Jii-chan would be somewhere on the other side of the curtain, but,
I thought that it might be bulletproof, but,
On the other side of the curtain is Jii-chan, with Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san protecting him.
Minaho-neesan, Tsukiko, Yomiko, and Luna are also in there, or so I thought.
But as the curtain moves to the top.
It’s a wall.
It’s nothing but a white wall.
There’s no space for a person to enter.
What’s going on?
Yo-chan, look up
Nei tells me.
Up? aah!
Zuzuzuzuzu.
The curtain goes even further.
The curtain goes above like those I see in gym and banquet halls, but,
It’s covered in glass?
No, there’s a room in there.
It’s as if they’re peeking from above the banquet hall.
That’s a VIP deluxe suite
Margo-san said.
By the way, that glass should be bulletproof, and even if you poison gas this hall, it won’t reach there. That’s a perfect defense
Then, coming from the window of the glass covered VIP room;
Jii-chan wearing a suit, and the Takakura sisters wearing shrine maiden clothing appears.
Oh, I see Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san’s large body behind Jii-chan.
Chief Yazawa’s subordinates’ carry chairs and tables.
Jii-chan then sits down on the chair.
He’s looking down here.
He has chilled Champagne on the side table.
Then, Jii-chan also asks the Takakura sisters to take a seat.
Chief Yazawa’s subordinates bring in chairs for the three.
The sisters sit side by side.
Oh, I see Rei-chan in her male clothing standing with her cane.
Hmm, Champagne bottle, really? If it were me, I’d bring in a cat on Kouzuki-ojiichan’s lap instead. A black cat. Then, a glass of red wine on the side as he plays with a big gold coin with his thumb 1
Nei said.
Anyway, everyone in this hall had no choice but to look up at Jii-chan in the high-class VIP room.
Chief Yazawa brings in a microphone to Jii-chan respectfully.
Jii-chan takes the mic, and then,
I thank you all for coming all the way from Kansai to here
He speaks to the Yakuza below.
I am Kouzuki
Everyone’s intimidated by Jii-chan’s tone flowing through the speaker, but,
What is going on here?
Oodori looks up at Jii-chan and shouts.
II came all the way to Tokyo for you to hear out the deal, right?
Yes, that’s right. This is a deal. Did you not hear it from Seki-kun earlier?
Jii-chan speaks, but he sounds sleepy.
I don’t know about Tokyo but in our world, making deals means that you’ll stand on the same level and be on the same line of sight, or is it different here?
Is that so? Yazawa?
Jii-chan plays dumb and asks chief Yazawa.
Well, it matters not. I’m not interested in your customs at all
He speaks to make it clear.
If you don’t come down from there then we will head home
Oodori stands up, and his 30 subordinates also stand in unison.
If you think that you can look down on us, then this deal is over!
Jii-chan laughs.
What’s funny?
Oodori laughs.
Then.
Stop it! Oodori!
One of the old-time Yakuza leaders calls out from the southern side.
He’s wearing a Hakama, and his hair is pure white.
His age should be higher than Oodori.
Don’t stop me now. Sakagami Oyabun. Even the weakest have their own wills and don’t make light of them. This Oodori Seishirou has his honor!
Oodori glares at Jii-chan,
I don’t know nor care about Kouzuki house, but don’t think that it will end nicely for you if you make the Yakuza mad!
President is right!
Don’t look down on Yakuza!
don’t make fun of us!
The Yakuza on the east side unites and tries to overpower Jii-chan.
Sorry about that. As you can see, I’m ignorant of the ways of the world
Jii-chan instructs one of the guards on the side, and the guard opened the Champagne.
what is that guy doing?
He’s still looking down on us!
Champagne’s poured to his glass and Jii-chan drinks it deliciously.
Then.
By the way, pray to tell me but what business does Yakuza have?
what did you say?
You’re making us look like fools!
Jii-chan sniffs the scent of the Champagne.
No, I don’t know it for real. Just what do the Yakuza sell? Can anyone tell me?
Oodori replies.
If you do not know then allow me to teach you! Yakuza’s business is to sell honor!
I see. You sell Honor
That’s right, our business is about the manly honor! A debauchee like you would never understand!
That’s right! We’re honorable men!
Don’t look down on us
Jii-chan.
That’s what he says, but what do you think, Sakagami-kun?
Jii-chan asks the white haired man who stopped Oodori earlier.
Yes, sir! Allow me to explain Kouzuki Kakka
Sakagami bows his head respectfully.
Yakuza is an industry of people working for customers!
Working for customers?
The main work of Yakuza is to use their connections and smoothly process requests for the customers!
Is that so? Sakagami-kun’s explanation is easier to understand than his
Thank you
The white haired boss lowers his head deeply.
There are also other jobs in our industry, but we do anything regardless of its legality as long as we’re paid. However, we’re fundamentally good citizens to the public, and so we try not to cause trouble with them. Although in reality, that doesn’t happen too much I see. It seems like it, I thought that the Yakuzas are a group of outlaws who only does illegal work and make the commoners suffer
Yes, it does have that aspect. However, we have the country allowing us to continue as the necessary evil due to our unique style of solving insoluble problems
Oh, is that necessary evil really necessary?
Jii-chan speaks sadistically.
Err, that,s you see. In the early post-war years, when the police weren’t able to help nor protect the citizens, we were the ones fighting off the foreigners and American soldiers
