Yeah, historically, people who call him Kakka were the upstarts.
Therefore, calling Jii-chan like that would mean that they’re the same as them.
The parents can’t do anything about it anyway
Huh?
Kouzuki-sama never talked about How he wants to be addressed
Minaho-neesan said.
And I order my subordinates to forbid themselves from calling me anything other than Kakka
Right, whatever the Kakka means behind the scenes.
Shou-neechan and Rei-chan still calls Jii-chan Kakka,
That’s because Jii-chan ordered them.
My subordinates will still call me Kakka
Yeah, then the subordinates will continue to call Jii-chan Kakka as means of etiquette.
Instead, some of them will feel troubled of they don’t address me as Kakka. Only their daughters came to this gathering after all
I see. those who haven’t come here don’t know what’s the story behind Kakka.
Therefore, they will continue to call him that.
And if among them, someone stopped addressing him Kakka and called him Kouzuki-sama instead, then.
They’ll get cut off from others, stand out, and probably provoke antipathy.
In the end, they will pretend they didn’t hear their daughter’s story and still address me as Kakka That’s the best way not to aggravate people
Jii-chan doesn’t hate the fact that he’s addressed as such.
I’m sure that they will feel awkward about it, so I will be having fun watching them look troubled
Jii-chan shows a malicious smile.
What’s essential is that the ladies who came here today felt that the head of Kouzuki house opened up and told them a secret. Their extreme tension will ease up. Everyone had the same experience so that friendship will sprout. Therefore, everyone in the party is friendly with each other and enjoying the night There’s no longer factions dividing them.
Momoko-neechan’s leading everyone to a pleasant conversation.
That’s for the better. Those girls will become valuable allies who help each other for Misuzu, Ruriko, Yoshiko, and you
Chapter 870. High Life Activation
Now then, is that all for the stubborn old man’s story?
Kyouko-san speaks up after listening to my conversation with Jii-chan.
Well, if you ask me, you should only take half of the old man’s advice
Kyouko-san snorts.
People who live in the upper class use their arrogant reasoning to talk about how the world works. I won’t say that it’s all wrong, but don’t accept it without questioning either
Yeah.
Jii-chan belongs to nobility.
Furthermore, he’s the head of Kouzuki house, someone with ties to nobility throughout history.
From my perspective, the girls are caged in a zoo. They seem to have no problems in their life, but they’re not free. Don’t you think it’s the worst to have someone order you for your whole life, like You’ll marry this man and give birth to an offspring Yeah, Kyouko-san’s opinion is correct too, but. I wonder how far men will look down on women until they’re satisfied?
That opinion of her is reasonable, but.
Unfortunately, we’re also a part of the livestock
Jii-chan said.
It’s not that men are free, and women have their lives decided by men. Those born in nobility always come with the inconvenience. Men aren’t differentiated from women
Right, men can’t just marry out of love either.
Especially for the head of the household.
He has both the assets and authority. He has to consider not just his family but also the other houses as well.
Even I didn’t marry the woman I wanted
Jii-chan loved Ruriko’s grandmother.
Yet, Jii-chan couldn’t marry anyone other than what the family picked for him.
Who cares about men. You can get married and cheat all you want. I mean, you played a lot, didn’t you?
Kyouko-san said.
Indeed. You’re right
Jii-chan smiles wryly.
But, you talked about how it’s only women who are blamed for adultery, but, in modern Japan, it just changed to instant divorce when the woman cheats, right? The husband can talk about how he goes to clubs and have sex while keeping it a secret from his wife. Still, if the wife goes to a club, and had sex with a young man, the parents, siblings, relatives, friends, acquaintances, and even business associates say divorce that wife right away, don’t they?
Well, that’s probably true.
If the husband cheats, then the conversation goes. Well, calm down, don’t resort to divorce, but.
If the wife is exposed to visit a host club frequently and even had sex with a young man.
Then, she will face a barrage of criticism from society.
Humans always have sexual desire. And in men who were born in nobility, how do you resolve that?
She asks Jii-chan.
In the case of the men in the head house, most families send over a mistress to ease up the male’s lust when he reaches puberty. Seeking from daughters of the subordinates who served for generations And letting that woman become his sex partner? If left alone, the man can have an unfavorable lover after all
Women coming after them to make a child of nobility.
Well, it’s the evil adults sending girls to the young man.
There was one when I was at this boy’s age
Jii-chan looked at me and said.
She was young, beautiful, and is loyal to her master. She took all of my lust when I was young. I was able to stray away from seduction, thanks to her. At that time, Kuromori’s brothel has become the social gathering spot for the big shots. Though I’m the next head of Kouzuki house, I was still too young to enter. Right, I think I was at the age where I graduated from university when I entered. When I was handling a few projects myself, my father finally let me enter the Kuromori tower In short, Jii-chan, during his student days, had sex with the vassal’s daughter. And where is she now?
I asked. Jii-chan.
She’s still alive. Staying in this mansion
Huh?
I feel sorry for her, but since she was the mistress, she couldn’t bear a child. Therefore, I had her serve me for the rest of her life. She’s also been taking care of Misuzu and Ruriko So what do you think about changing someone else’s life like that?
Kyouko-san asks.
Nothing in particular. That was her fate That woman is sacrificed as a tool to take care of your sexual needs, and yet, you only say that it’s her fate?
Jii-chan.
If you’re going to say that, then it’s also my fate to become the head of Kouzuki house as I was born the eldest son. When I was 15, there were three girls brought to me, and I was told, You must pick one So, I chose. I’m the one who made a choice, but I had to choose one, regardless of my thoughts. I didn’t have the option either Jii-chan’s parents and relatives make a choice.
No, the heir before Jii-chan, and the person before, they’ve gone through that.
Furthermore, I know well whose vassal’s daughter is the girl I chose. The daughters themselves show up in the main house since childhood. I had to choose one of them as the mistress, and I must never look at other girls. In fact, I share the same bed with nobody but the mistress from my student days until marriage Jii-chan said. It was a great practice. Soon after that, I lived a married life with the wife coming from another nobility. The mistress taught me how to live together with women, how do they think, what makes them angry, what I shouldn’t do, everything Oh my, that’s something unheard of from the famous stud, Kouzuki Shigetaka
Kyouko-san laughs.
I chase after women to socialize with men back in Showa. That’s the reason why they have to see me as a lively man That’s what you were doing at first, but you got addicted to it, didn’t you? When I was past my 40’s, my wife nor mistress can’t keep me company anymore. Women’s sexual desire declines, but men don’t. I wanted to have sex with women more, so, well, you know the rest
