Margo-san analyzes.
Even if one can use Qi to control someone’s mind, logically, you can’t manipulate someone if they can’t hear your voice
Yeah, people won’t move in a specific manner unless you show them a clear image in words. People act using their imagination after all
Nei said.
The door from the back closes down.
Takakura Kiyomi arrives at the center, surrounded by guards wearing a helmet.
Forgive me for I cannot speak directly to you, I can’t listen to your voice directly either
Shou-neechan also has headphones on her head and a monitor with her.
Also, let me tell you beforehand if you make any suspicious movements, our men are on standby to shoot you to death. There’s already remote-controlled machine guns aimed at you. There’s also the possibility that you already took control of our guards before they could wear their protective helmet. Chief Yazawa from Kouzuki SS has the authority on the switch to activate the machine gun on a separate room. We have observers from multiple locations and cameras in locations your power can’t reach Shou-neechan and Jii-chan don’t trust Takakura Kiyomi’s powers.
Then that means.
Is it okay for us to stay here?
Shouldn’t we also wear headphones to listen to Takakura Kiyomi?
Yoshinobu-kun, Kouzuki-san, and Minaho wants you to hear her voice without interference
Margo-san?
Shou-neechan and all the guards in here needs to be secured at all times no matter what
Yeah, there’s always the what if
It’s okay, even if something happens where you or we here get manipulated, we can manage it somehow
But, why is Jii-chan not going to listen to her voice?
That’s what I don’t understand.
They say that voice shows the truth to the people
Truth.
Actually, Kouzuki-san also wants to talk to her face-to-face. That’s common courtesy. But, considering Kiyomi-san’s ability, that’s not possible. Therefore, Kouzuki-san wants you to listen to her voice in his stead For Jii-chan.
That’s also the reason why Minaho didn’t come down
Oh, Minaho-neesan’s perhaps,
She’s watching the monitors along with chief Yazawa.
They’re to watch whether Kiyomi-san moves suspiciously.
They’re to watch if she’s used her Miko power on someone and now they’re moving strangely.
If there’s a slight change, then they can respond right away.
They’re monitoring everything that’s happening in this hall through the cameras stationed here and there.
I’m sure that chief Yazawa, who knows this more than anyone, and Minaho-neesan who’s used to watching the brothel through monitors can watch through everything.
Now then, your name was Takakura Kiyomi-san, was it?
Jii-chan’s voice echoes in the room.
I’m very sorry for making you do all this
Takakura Kiyomi bows her head.
Umu, well done coming here
Jii-chan’s in the VIP room covered in a glass, but the shutters are lowered, and so you can’t see him.
I wonder how’s Tsukiko and the two now that they can see their aunt?
Yo-chan, don’t look up. Keep your eyes on the monitor
Nei reminds me.
There’s always a possibility that she takes control of you the moment you let down your guard
Michi also tells me.
Takakura Kiyomi-san, is it correct to assume that you’re the origin of all of the current events?
Jii-chan speaks in a low tone. Kiyomi;
Yes, you’re correct
She answers calmly.
I controlled Chairman Satake to kill my sister and her husband, and take over the Takakura shrine
As expected.
Don’t be ridiculous! i did it on my own will! i would never listen to anyone’s orders, not even from you!
Satake screams in panic.
Yes. I made sure that you think that way
Kiyomi said.
You made sure that he won’t notice he’s under your control
Jii-chan mutters.
Is that the real power of the Takakura shrine maidens?
Takakura Kiyomi gazes at nothing but her front.
Yes, that’s correct. This is the Tsuki power which was used since the ancient times by the Takakura shrine
Ah.
I knew it. Tsuki power is the one to make people obey.
That also means that Yomi power reads people’s minds.
Kiyomi taught the girls the different names of the powers.
Why?
I see. However, according to my subordinate’s investigation, the Miko power handed down to the shrine maidens in Takakura shrine since ancient times has declined during the Meiji era
The power the shrine maidens had in the shrine was lost.
Then, they accepted a separate power from the wandering shrine maidens during the Meiji era.
I have revived it. I used the ancient documents in the Takakura shrine and used the methods of passing down used by the wandering shrine maidens
Takakura Kiyomi said.
You did?
To be exact, it was my husband. My husband studies in reading ancient documents. However, he became a Yakuza as he has gone astray for his foolishness
Speaking of which, I think I heard that Kiyomi-san had children.
My husband has frequented the Takakura shrine as his role as a lookout. Then, he opened up the shrine’s treasury without permission and read through the ancient documents
When was that?
About thirty years ago. My husband and I are twenty years apart
Kiyomi-san replied.
My husband did it out his curiosity, and he had me try out the practices written in the documents. Then, compared to the wandering shrine maiden methods my mother taught me, I was able to cultivate my power
And thus, Kiyomi-san obtained such strong power?
Then, why did you not become the Takakura shrine maiden? If you have that much power, then shouldn’t you be the shrine maiden, not your late sister?
Jii-chan’s right.
Why did Kiyomi-san not become the shrine maiden?
That’s because my husband wishes to monopolize my power
Kiyomi-san said.
If I become the Takakura shrine maiden, then my power would belong to the whole Kansai Yakuza. My husband didn’t like that idea
He thought of monopolizing your power and rise to the top of the Kansai Yakuza?
Kiyomi-san shows a sad smile.
No, my husband didn’t have such aspirations
Then why?
My husband found the ancient documents researched about it, and after he finished it, he only wanted to monopolize what he calls my doll If my world is shown to a larger society the surely a boss would take me. He didn’t want it, and so he forced me to hide my power. Therefore, I use my powers to make everyone believe that I don’t have it Kiyomi-san used her Tsuki power to make the bosses in Yakuza believe that she has no power, that she’s not suited to become a shrine maiden.
My husband feels extreme pleasure from hiding the fact that I hold strong power. He could’ve used me on whoever boss it maybe when necessary and make them follow his will
However, that didn’t happen?
Jii-chan inquires.
Yes. My husband was an extreme coward. He’s satisfied just to conceal me, and he never used my power for his gain ever
If he used her at least once,
Then someone would notice Kiyomi-san’s power.
He thinks that someone else with a higher rank than him in Yakuza would take Kiyomi-san away.
He didn’t do anything.
Oh, there’s only one time. This has nothing to do with my husband, but when I was 18, I used my power to have my husband as my caretaker. And in line with my husband’s plan, he appealed to the bosses to have him as my caretaker I see. Kiyomi-san’s husband belongs to the management side in the Yakuza’s world.
Therefore, she couldn’t have a formal marriage with her husband.
And, what did you think about it?
Jii-chan asks.
Nothing much. I was young, and so I followed what my husband said. When I was young, I trusted my husband with all my heart. When I became aware of my situation, my husband is already an adult, and I don’t have any other men close to me. My husband was kind to me Kiyomi-san replies.
