Shie-san said.
Oh? From what I see, you look cute
Shou-neechan smiled.
We deal with criminals like Kyouko Messer after all
That’s right, Shou-neechan is a professional.
The weight of her job is different from an exclusive bodyguard who follows their Master all day.
At least, we can’t conduct business where you work for us as a side job I’m very sorry for the impoliteness
Shie-san bows her head.
Although, if you want to leave Kanou-sama’s house and work for Kouzuki SS, then that’s a different story
Huh?
If that’s what you want, then I will assign you to another young lady. Your Master will change, but the contents of your job will stay the same. You won’t have to quit school either. The young lady I will assign you to also attends the same school Shie-san will leave Kanou house and enter Kouzuki SS.
Then, she’ll dispatch as a bodyguard of another young lady?
Oh, but you can’t join our company and get yourself assigned to Kanou house. It would be similar to a big company selling out because they have financial problems. Yet, they remain on the same building as they renewed their lease contract. The world doesn’t work that way If Shie-san leaves Kanou house and enters Kouzuki SS, it is a personal problem.
The bodyguard escaping Kanou house, which she served for years, would be a failure.
Kouzuki SS will gather some rumors about taking in a bodyguard from another house, but it’s not a big deal.
Other than being a personal problem, the idea that there were some trouble between Shie-san and Kanou house would show up.
However, If Shie-san affiliates herself with Kouzuki SS, yet, she continues as Kanou Sakurako-san’s bodyguard, then.
That creates more problems for Kanou-sama than me, right?
People will think that Kanou house is having problems with the cost of their bodyguards that they asked for Kouzuki house’s support.
Kouzuki SS paying up for Shie-san’s salary but, Kanou house might be paying up Kouzuki SS for their bodyguard service. Or Maybe, Kouzuki house is assisting them for free.
In short, they’ll see that Kanou house is having financial difficulties.
I devote my life to Kanou house
Shie-san said.
Right. Then, don’t say something that stupid again
Shou-neechan is smiling, but her words are harsh.
In the end, bodyguards who swore their loyalty to a specific house cannot have a side job as a bodyguard of someone else.
It’s known that if Shie-san were to bodyguard someone else and Kanou-san gets in danger, she will abandon her current Master and head over to Kanou-san.
I’m very sorry
Shie-san bows deeply.
Seki-san, I also apologize for her. My Shie is quite careless. However, Shie has done that due to my lack of virtue. Please forgive us
Kanou Sakurako-san bows her head to Shou-neechan, but.
Misuzu stretched out her hand to stop Kanou-san.
Kanou-sama, you mustn’t bow your head
She smiled.
Misuzu-sama?
Kanou-san’s surprised.
People are watching. They all seem to be having a pleasant talk while dining but, some of them are looking at us
Right.
We have lots of young ladies and their bodyguards in the garden party tonight.
We also have some Kansai Yakuza spies.
Seki-san came here to talk between servants. And so, we must pretend we didn’t hear what happened
Shou-neechan is older than Shie-san if we’re talking about their bodyguard duty.
It wouldn’t seem odd if Shie-san bows her head to Shou-neechan during their conversation.
I mean, Shou-neechan never takes off that smile of hers.
Looking from a distance, Shou-neechan, the site chief of Kouzuki SS, answered some questions Shie-san had, and so she bowed her head after.
Shou-neechan talked about Kouzuki SS, giving out training for the bodyguards earlier.
They’ll assume that Shie-san wants to join in the training, or she wants to practice with Rei-chan, along those lines.
However, if the young lady of Kanou house, Sakurako-san.
If Sakurako-san bows her head to Shou-neechan, a servant of Kouzuki house, then it will seem out of place. They will pay their attention.
And they’ll assume that something happened.
It is as you say. I’m sorry
Kanou-san said expressionlessly.
That conversation was between Seki-san and her. We didn’t hear anything Me neither
Edie smiled.
Did you hear anything?
Luna and I shook our heads.
Adelheid-san as well.
Edie looked at Anjou Mitama-san and Kinuka-san.
We didn’t hear anything!
Kurama Arisu says, representing her elder sister, who looks down.
Now then, let’s return to the topic
Shou-neechan speaks with a bright tone.
It would be a problem if Adelheid-san were to have you as an opponent
Right.
Adelheid-san wants to show off her real strength.
Shie-san suddenly presented herself as an opponent.
Why? Can’t I fight her off as my apology for earlier?
Shie-san suggests a penalty for herself.
Geez. Look.
Shou-neechan sighed.
If you, from Kanou house, and the bodyguard of Torii house were to fight in the mansion of Kouzuki house, it will become a big deal!
Edie laughed.
Do you not get it?
Adelheid-san.
But Torii Mariko-sama already dismissed me? That’s only convenient for you! The question of who brought you to this mansion still remains! Kanou house is on a higher status, you know? If the bodyguard of that family suddenly picked a fight in the courtyard, then the blame goes to Torii house I see. She’s right. You shouldn’t think of your own convenience, think of other people’s standpoint as well. You’re such troublesome girls!
Edie admonished Adelheid-san and Shie-san.
Besides, you, who’s older, and have a proper master, has a more significant reason why you don’t want to lose compared to her. It’s not going to be a fair fight
Shie-san will join the fight with the responsibility of a Kanou house bodyguard in her shoulders.
Adelheid-san, who Torii-san dismissed, has nothing to lose.
Besides, Adelheid-san is still 13.
Shie-san is at 17.
Age difference has nothing to do with this. I will win anyway
Adelheid-san said, but.
The young ladies watching do mind
Yeah. They’ll say, It’s natural that the older one will win against the small, or She cannot lose as she holds the honor of nobility.
And all the other thoughts.
Therefore, you cannot fight someone older than you and shoulder heavy responsibility!
Edie said.
But is there anyone like that?
Nii-san?
Luna clings on my legs.
Oh right, Luna’s 12.
There’s nobody
Edie waves her hand.
If I recall, you’re 13 years old, right?
Edie points at Anjou Kinuka-san, Kurama house’s bodyguard.
me?
Kinuka-san’s surprised.
Hey, what do you think after hearing our conversation?
Ruriko, who’s next to Misuzu, asks Kinuka-san.
i, no, I didn’t hear anything
Kinuka-san replies, but.
Earlier, you two tried to challenge Kyouko-san for your Master’s honor, right?
Ruriko asks.
That’s right. We showed our spirit to serve Kurama house! Right? Big Sis!
Mitama-san nods as her sister called her.
And that’s the reason we attacked Kyouko Messer from the sky Unfortunately, they avoided it
Err.
It was all to show that Kurama house.Misato-ojousama and Arisu-ojousama have us sisters with them! We will never go easy on those who are impolite to our young ladies!
The sisters declared.
