Kanou house has a high status. They have so much history.
Therefore, she was sitting alone in one table before the start of the lecture.
Jii-chan asked Kanou-san to sit on Misuzu’s table.
He concluded that she can’t join in with the other young ladies, and so he gave her preferential treatment.
Everyone, it’s in the past. Currently, Kanou house is far from reaching Kouzuki house’s prosperity
Kanou-san said and looked at Misuzu.
However, the pride as a nobility still remains
Indeed, since Kanou house has a high status among nobility.
Torii Mariko-san, who has Kanou house’s head as her Grandfather, is accepted as a nobility daughter.
I thought of coming personally to monitor Mariko-san so she won’t put shame on Kanou house. I’m genuinely sorry for the trouble she caused in Kouzuki house
This is a gathering of young ladies who have bodyguards in Misuzu’s school.
Torii-san is invited naturally.
And then, Torii-san who came to Kouzuki house may do something impolite, and so.
Kanou-san came here, worried.
If Torii-san wasn’t here, Kanou-san would’ve refused Misuzu’s invitation.
She has no interest in a party hosted by Kouzuki house.
And Mariko-san seriously said unpleasant lines, and her bodyguard was also an idiot! I’m incredibly embarrassed that I’d like to bury myself into a hole!
Kanou-san said.
Mariko-san, apologize to everyone, and we will take our leave!
She glared at Mariko-san.
I don’t want to!
Torii-san glared back.
I mean, I didn’t do anything wrong! Mariko-san! No means no!
Torii-san said flatly.
I also have my pride as the daughter of Torii house. I will not withdraw after my parents were turned to laughingstock!
I can understand what she’s trying to say.
Torii-san’s family, Torii electronics, is a first-class enterprise in Japan now.
She probably couldn’t agree with their idea of family standing.
Besides! What Kanou house? Sure, they have pride in their past, but that was before I was born! Kanou house is nothing now! Kanou house is. Kanou-san’s father is only assigned as the honorary president or board director on a few societal organizations. He’s not a company manager, an important person in the government, nor a member of the Diet. Kanou house doesn’t bring anything new nowadays! You’re just barely living with your name as nobility from the past!
I see.
Kanou house is collapsing, only having their high social status remaining.
Even so! Kanou house isn’t just another noble family! We have history!
Kanou-san shouts.
Indeed, you do have history. If you were an ordinary noble house, then you’ll crumble down once you start sinking like Kurama-san’s family, but.
Torii-san looked at the Kurama sisters.
Kurama Misato looks down in embarrassment.
Arisu-san embraces her elder sister from behind.
But Kanou house which has a high social status won’t collapse that easy
Torii-san said. Kanou-san groaned.
That’s why other families assign members of Kanou house as honorary members since Kanou family doesn’t want to feel disgraced as a member of the nobility, showing that they still live in wealth
Torii-san grinned.
Mariko-san, are you serious about that?
Kanou-san talks back.
Torii house even lets Kanou-san’s family have some honorary position in our company! Don’t think that I’ll allow all this ridicule on my family!
I see.
Kanou house is only a family with nobility status, but they don’t have any money or social status.
On the other hand, Torii house has a lot of money from its company but not accepted as nobility.
I don’t know the reason why Torii-san’s parents married, but.
Most people think that it’s a political marriage for money and honor.
Therefore, everyone thinks that Torii-san will soon become another wife for a political marriage to a family that is about to fall to ruin.
And with that situation, the young ladies don’t keep Torii-san company.
And everyone is at a loss on how to deal with Kanou-san, who belongs to a family that has nothing but high nobility status.
I now also understand why Torii-san suddenly introduced herself to Jii-chan without warning.
It’s not that she can’t read the mood.
She has no care about nobility, social status, nor authority.
Therefore, she greets Jii-chan, the head of Kouzuki house, as someone equal to her.
Are you done, Kanou-sama? Torii-san?
Misuzu said.
It’s improper for relatives to insult each other
Kanou-san, who gushed out her screams before she knew it felt ashamed.
i’m very sorry for the fuss we made
She stands up and bows to Misuzu and the other young ladies
We will leave right away. Torii-san, let’s go
Kanou-san tells Torii-san, but.
Torii-san looks displeased.
Then.
Wait
Misuzu says calmly.
It’s much more discourteous if you leave after that situation
Kanou-san looks at Misuzu angrily.
Just as you have your pride as the daughter of Kanou house, I have my status as the daughter of Kouzuki house. If you two went home, it would develop as a problem between my Grandfather and Kanou-sama’s Grandfather It’s hard to preserve the relationship between two families with high social standing. If that happens, I don’t know how I should apologize to Grandfather. To tell you the truth, Sakurako-san.
Misuzu calls her by her first name.
I’m a year older than you, and so you call me your senior in school, however.
She stares at Kanou-san.
Even if your family has a higher status than others, you mustn’t forget to be considerate with other families. You look only at yourself, and never at others
I mean, it’s as expected from the lady of Kanou house, she hardly cares about the face of Kouzuki house or other families and just acts on impulse.
She’s like Torii-san in a sense.
The two of them are basically arrogant people.
I apologize
Kanou-san bows her head.
Stay until the end of the party. We will send you home by car later
Misuzu looks at Torii-san.
Torii-san, please sit down Yes
Torii-san reluctantly agrees.
As expected of Misuzu-sama!
The young ladies are impressed.
As expected, Kouzuki house is of higher rank than Kanou house! Shh! If she hears that, Kanou-sama will cry! Oh my, you’re right Torii-san is no match against Kouzuki-sama’s authority after all They’re no match. Torii electronics against Kouzuki group
Family social standing, assets, and lineage, Kanou house nor Torii house, is no match against Kouzuki house even if they pile that up.
With that thought, nobody other than Misuzu can handle these cousins better than Misuzu.
Now then, I’m very sorry to keep you all waiting everyone
Misuzu said.
I’m also hungry now. Let’s eat
As soon as Misuzu said that.
Kouzuki SS maids take off the cover on the garden party catering meals.
They also bring cold drinks from the mansion.
They bring over warm and delicious meals from the side.
As expected.
There were some troubles after the toast, but.
They coped with it so they could serve the meals in their best state during the party.
They’re probably accustomed to serving parties Jii-chan hosts.
Parties where they have VIP from foreign countries, or guest of honor coming in late often happens.
At times like that, they consider bringing delicious food at perfect timings.
You two should eat
Misuzu smiled at Kanou-san and Torii-san.
i. I also.
The two show a gloomy face.
Oh? Are you still trying to be rude?
