that’s right.

I feel sorry for the sisters. That is the reason why I didn’t let their voice reach Takakura Kiyomi

Tsukiko and the girls might speak that they’re starting to awaken their power without thinking.

Then waking up their power is my failure

Then, Minaho-neesan;

That’s wrong. Yoshinobu, Kouzuki-sama’s talking about what he just discovered. In fact; in the past few days, there’s a team making various investigations and came across the truth of the Takakura shrine maiden. It’s done from searching the ancient documents, hearing the testimony of the Yakuza who has conducted the arbitration ritual, and personal investigation of people involved with the Takakura house. And naturally, your discovery on the truth about the shrine maidens with the Takakura sisters was useful. We were able to find out the correct approach to Takakura Kiyomi because we were watching you Jii-chan didn’t know the solution from the beginning either.

They were searching for answers for the past few days.

I think you already understand but do hide the power of those girls. Make it end up looking like intuition, or charisma. If it’s found out that the Miko power still exist, their lives would be in danger

Jii-chan tells me.

Yeah, you’re right

Jii-chan told the Yakuza to forget about the Takakura shrine maiden.

The memory of it will still remain.

Tsukiko mustn’t show a glimpse of their power at all.

Learn how to use it secretly without the other party knowing

Huh?

Jii-chan, don’t you think that the Miko power should be erased instead?

Wasn’t that the conversation?

Why would you want such a convenient power gone?

Jii-chan speaks calmly.

The problem is about how you use it. We cannot show it’s existence to the world. Therefore, it can’t be a source of business. You can’t advertise it, and only evil people would target you

That’s right. That’s why instead of hiding it, how about we make it that the power isn’t used?

I won’t allow that

I don’t get it.

The Miko power is something handed down since ancient times. Do you really think that you can take it out for them?

That’s.

You may not know it, but there’s more of that in this world. These are the knowledge that has been passed down since ancient times without the public knowing. Especially in Japan. Each of them only tells their successors. Then that child will say to theirs. It is a secret that would never reach outside Secret.

Takakura shrine has become strange because of the Yakuza’s intervention halfway, but they still hold a long history with them. The Miko power can return to a secret now

If it’s appropriately hidden then it doesn’t have to disappear, is that it?

Besides, don’t you think there’s merit on using the power secretly when you’re facing a personal problem? For example, to smoothen relationships, or when you’re starting a business, you can bring them and have the other party feel pleasant with you Is it okay to do that?

If the other party doesn’t notice that you’re using their power, what problem will it create?

But, isn’t that unfair? I think it is

If you don’t want your family to starve then throw away that feeling

Jii-chan said.

Use whatever you can. Don’t you want to make your family happy? Then be greedy. If not, you won’t be able to protect your family

You’ve decided not to sympathize with people, right? The thought that this might be unfair to the other side is similar to sympathy. You’re looking down on them. You think that you’re inferior to other people, don’t you? Then get greedier!

Minaho-neesan said.

O-Okay

By the way, we have secured all of the documents of Takakura Kiyomi’s husband

That’s.

He found a method to strengthen the Miko power based on the old documents in the Takakura shrine.

But.

Didn’t she say that she burned down all of the data?

Right before Kiyomi-san died.

The original copy, she did. But her husband’s computer backed up everything. That also includes records of how it went with Kiyomi-san and the results of it

Kiyomi-san didn’t check the computer.

I’ll hand them over to you. Do whatever you want with it

Jii-chan looks at me.

Sorry to say but everything from this point onwards will be yours and for the sisters to take care. I’m too old already, I don’t think I’ll live for another ten years. I’ll leave everything that you can use behind, and I’m giving you as many options as possible. Then, it’s up to you what kind of future you want to go to We won’t take away the Miko power, nor the records of Kiyomi-san’s husband from you. We’ll hand them all over, and you can talk it out yourselves. This is for your future

I see.

The idea of It’s dangerous, and so let’s take it away is naive.

We’re already handling the dangerous goods, and so we have to think of it ourselves.

Earlier, I mentioned you to the Yakuza earlier, but someday, Kouzuki SS will be yours. Don’t let Misuzu or Ruriko get involved with the dealings behind the scenes. Talk about it with Seki-kun and Minaho-kun, and you’ll take command I.

Misuzu and Ruriko are too wise. Smart people think that their enemies are also intelligent, and so they fail. However, you saw it firsthand so you must understand it. People in this world are beyond unexpected. Most of them move out suddenly, without warning. Putting the surface aside, I think that Misuzu and Ruriko would be overthinking when it comes to this side. Therefore, you will be the pivot here I’m dumb though. Jii-chan

And that’s just perfect. You’re certainly not bright, but that also means that you don’t get caught up in your own thoughts. You listen to people’s opinions, observe them, think carefully. You reflect on your ideas. You’re the one suited for the business behind the scenes. The surface’s core is to attack, but on this side, protecting is the key. I think you’re better suited in protecting people than attacking others Jii-chan said.

Now then, it should be time for you to return to your girls. They must be feeling anxious

Oh right.

But.

Jii-chan, let me give a report first

I said.

What is it?

Yeah, I forgot about it.

I raise my right hand lightly.

Jii-chan, allow me to report. As for Tsukiko, Yomiko, and Luna, the three of them aren’t suited to become prostitutes. That’s my conclusion

Jii-chan asked me to give the Takakura sisters an aptitude test.

Actually, it possibly was just a way to get information about Tsukiko’s Miko power, but still.

Jii-chan gave me the request.

I see. Okay

Jii-chan replies, calmly.

Also, I have a request, Jii-chan

What is it?

Give the sisters, Tsukiko, Yomiko, and Luna, to me. I’ll make them happy as my woman! That’s why!

Okay

Jii-chan’s looking displeased all this time, but

He laughed.

That’s what I like about you. I like how you keep your thoughts in order

Huh?

Naturally, you can have the sisters. Or should I say that only you can stabilize their condition? By the way, did you forget about something?

what?

You’ll be taking another one along with the sisters. That is Takakura Kiyomi’s daughter

Ah.

Koyomi-san is 12-years old. She’s under our protection in Kyoto, and is now heading towards Tokyo

She’s at the same age as Luna.

From Kiyomi’s statement, it seems that she has started her training to become a shrine maiden. As expected, I think you should manage her together with the sisters

I see.

It’s better to have her life together with her cousin, Tsukiko and the girls.

Take care of them. Nee-san won’t be helping you in that regard

Minaho-neesan says as if I picked up a puppy.

Yeah. It’s okay, I’ll look after them

I replied.

You’ve stopped your I’ll have to do my best alone
