That way of thinking is inevitable.
No, it’s probably her way of telling me how the other young ladies think.
That’s wrong, Misuzu
I said.
The guests for today are the young ladies and their bodyguards. That means the bodyguards are also guests of Kouzuki house
The courtyard becomes quiet.
You’re being rude to your guests
Misuzu.
I’m very sorry, Danna-sama
She bows her head deeply.
my. Misuzu-sama?
The young ladies are surprised.
Why are you apologizing to me? Do that to your guests Yes, I’m very sorry, dear bodyguards. Hurry up and bring everyone glasses
Misuzu orders. The maids start moving.
Ah.
They have enough prepared for all.
That means that they assumed that I’ll do this.
Please wait! Misuzu-sama, what do you mean by this? Giving glasses to our servants?
Kanou-san protests.
Kanousama, your comment is natural, however.
Misuzu looks at Kanou-san.
Danna-sama is right, everyone who gathered in here today are all guests of Kouzuki house. And we cannot be rude to them
Then, she speaks to the young ladies in the courtyard.
I don’t think everyone in here agrees, but, would you please give consideration and allow this?
Then.
I don’t mind!
Torii-san speaks.
I always have tea time with Haiji. Bodyguards standing by while the Master drinks tea? That’s obsolete in this age! We’re already in the 21st century!
Adelheid-san nods.
Mariko-san, you shut up!
Kanou-san shouts at Torii-san.
However.
Mariko-san?
Are these two close?
i haven’t done anything Sakurako-san has to scold me with! You need to shut up!
This doesn’t look good.
This is nothing to fight about! If we want everyone in here to have fun, then isn’t it just natural to have everyone toast together?
I said. Kanou-san gets angry.
Besides, what’s with you? You’re not a noble, you’re just a lowly person Misuzu-sama picked up from somewhere! Kanou-sama
Misuzu stops Kanou-san.
If you were to continue your rudeness to my Danna-sama, I will not show mercy
Everyone in the courtyard froze.
Kuromori Kou-sama will be my husband, he’s the man to succeed Kouzuki house. Grandfather already gave his approval, haven’t you seen it earlier?
Jii-chan shows the young girls that he’s having a friendly conversation with me on purpose.
If that’s what Onii-sama asks, then I will obey
Ruriko stands up and hands Adelheid-san a glass.
Please take this glass
She smiled.
uhm
Adelheid-san looks confused. Torii-san.
Take it. You must not refuse something a Kouzuki lady offers you yes
Adelheid-san takes the glass.
Then, Shie-san as well
Misuzu smiled and hands over a glass to Shie-san, Kanou-san’s bodyguard.
i.
Shie-san looks perplexed.
It can’t be helped. Take it, Misuzu-sama offered it to you yes
Shie-san takes the glass.
Then, give everyone a glass to toast
Yoshiko-san distributes glasses to the bodyguards on the other table.
The bodyguards look at their master.
The Masters reluctantly accepted it.
Okay.
That reaffirms the relationship of the bodyguards with their Masters.
They came here because of their Masters.
If they see it that way, they will lose the mood to abandon their Master and find a new one.
Give Seki-san and Fujimiya-san a glass as well
I ordered the maids.
However, I’m just a vassal of Kouzuki house
Shou-neechan tries to say that, but.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a servant or not, if an adult came over to teach, then it’s natural to thank them
That’s right.
These girls clapped their hands as a courtesy, but.
Nobody thanked Rei-chan and Shou-neechan at all.
Misuzu, before you begin the toast, you show Seki-san your gratitude and then wish for happiness to everyone who came over today, and that’s when you toast
I said. Misuzu.
I understand. Then, please hold your glass as well, Danna-sama
Huh?
Oh, right, I don’t have a glass yet.
Here, Nii-san
Edie handed Luna a glass.
It looks like it has orange juice.
Michi and the girls have their glass already.
Everyone, other than the maids, has their glass.
Well, the maids aren’t guests, so.
Well then, everyone, first, Fujimiya Reika-san and Seki-san of Kouzuki SS, we thank you for a very educational lecture for today
Misuzu bows her head, and the others followed.
And then, for everyone who gathered here today, I thank you. I wish for everyone in here to enjoy life, and not get into any troubles and a toast to that
That’s right. It’s that kind of gathering today.
Toast!
Misuzu’s voice echoes in the courtyard.
I raised my glass and took a sip.
Then, please enjoy the party, everyone
Misuzu said, and the garden party begins.
Now, this is where the battle begins.
Chapter 852. High Life Secret Technique
Then, please enjoy the night everyone
Misuzu announced the start of the party, and yet.
The young ladies are still quiet.
They seem puzzled about why do they have to toast together with their servants.
However, with this tense atmosphere.
The bodyguards will no longer move to promote themselves to other houses.
Misuzu-sama, I have a question
Kanou-san didn’t take a sip from the glass.
Yes, what is it, Kanou-sama?
Misuzu smiles.
Everyone in the courtyard looked at the two.
What are you trying to do?
Kanou-san glared at Misuzu.
Shie-san behind her shows a blank look on her face.
She’s holding the glass, but she’s not drinking.
Well, her Master still hasn’t taken a sip, so the servant won’t do the same.
What do you mean?
Misuzu shows a relaxed look as she answered.
Why is Kouzuki Misuzu-sama treating the bodyguards equally as us?
Kanou-san asks.
Even if you ask me, I only did what Danna-sama told me to do
Misuzu’s eyes send me a passionate look.
Today, I have sent invitations to everyone. By that, I mean the young ladies of each family and their bodyguards. That means everyone in this courtyard are all my, no, guests of Kouzuki house I don’t accept that reason. I’m asking why do I have to treat the servants as an equal!
Kanou-san responded with a slightly irritated tone.
Oh? Do you not understand it? Kanou-sama?
Misuzu replies slowly.
I’m the one who invited you all, which means that I’m the one who lowers my attitude the most in here. All the young ladies and the bodyguards here are superior to me. You’re all my guests after all The young ladies and their bodyguards listen to what Misuzu’s saying. Despite that, if I don’t offer a glass to the bodyguards, who are also my guests, then it would be impolite of me. It will be a display of hubris. Danna-sama only pointed out that error of mine
Misuzu points at me, everyone’s now looking this way.
Luna, who’s clinging on my back sticks closer.
Danna-sama, Misuzu made a mistake. I’m sorry. I won’t make the same mistake again, please do not abandon Misuzu.
Misuzu apologizes to me.
She does that while all the young ladies, the bodyguards, the Kouzuki SS female employees wearing maid clothing watches.
I.
As long as you understand. Also, don’t do it again
Err.
I won’t hate you from something this trivial, don’t worry Thank you, Danna-sama
That weird exchange eased up the tension from the girls in the courtyard.
It’s a matter within Kouzuki house, please pay it no heed
Ruriko smiled at the other girls instead of Misuzu.
Kouzuki house is a family with an ancient origin and is currently thriving by managing various enterprise
