However.
Even so, I have my personal reasons
Mizushima-san replies with resolve.
I’m aware that I cannot stay as nobility with that reason
You mean?
I may be young, but I’m still the daughter of Mizushima house. Whatever situation I’m involved in once I’m outside the house, I think of myself as the representative of the family
She’s the daughter of the head house.
People will look at her, no matter where or when.
The Daughter of house is raised with the honor of that family.
Therefore, regarding the blunders Mizushima house has created, I also am equally guilty. My father and grandfather’s sin is the sin of the family. Therefore, I need to receive punishment as I belong to the same house Karen-san is sweating on her forehead.
She’s doing all her best to face the fearsome head of Kouzuki house.
Especially that today’s party doesn’t have only Kouzuki-sama’s family, the seniors I respect and love, and all my precious friends are present. I brought someone dangerous with me without resistance. Such blunder is unforgivable That’s.
Everyone sees Karen-san as innocent, but.
Even so, some ill-feeling will remain if left alone.
Karen-san needs some formal punishment, or she cannot stay in school any longer.
Kouzuki-sama, I know that you will bestow punishment on Mizushima house. Then, please include me in the people who will receive it. And I ask of you, please do not let the penalty reach my father’s servants, the businesses under Mizushima holdings, and the workers. I humbly beg Karen-san bows her head.
Jii-chan.
Cunning Kouzuki-sama?
Karen-san looks at Jii-chan in surprise.
You were doing well in the first half, but you said too much on the last one. I can sense artificiality
Artificiality?
A young girl like you talking with that attitude would be too pitiful to look at, that you would think of saving her, but.
He stares at Karen-san.
Was that your father or grandfather’s teachings?
That if Tendou Otome is exposed, she has to explain and apologize to Jii-chan.
Was that an order of her grandfather?
No, those were all my thoughts
Karen-san looked straight at Jii-chan and said.
If that’s the case, you’re a cunning girl
Jii-chan snorts.
Very well. I will know the truth soon enough. However
Jii-chan looks at the Kurama sisters.
You’re just 12, but you can come up with such praiseworthy views. Kurama Arisu-kun is 13, and Kurama Misato-kun is 18, aren’t you two? You’ve stayed in this room for so long and yet you never tried to make such an appeal, I wonder why?
Huh?
The crying elder and the caring younger. Do you not know that you represent the Kurama house?
i see.
The Kurama sisters remained afraid when they were brought to Jii-chan’s room.
that’s because we thought that it would be impolite to Kouzuki-sama if we say anything
Arisu-san says in a panic.
Hmph, you can give all your excuses later. Didn’t you accept Misuzu’s invitation as a pretext to appeal about Kurama house’s wretched condition to me? But, Kouzuki-sama reprimanded us before the party started A single scolding, and you already gave up? What will happen to the tradition of Kurama house? If your house collapses, how will you apologize to your ancestors? How do you explain it to the workers of the Kurama Kaku group? i’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!
Kurama Misato-san apologizes to Jii-chan while spilling tears in her eyes.
Enough! I’m putting you off for later! I will deal with Mizushima house now
Oh, so that’s it.
To stir up the sense of danger of the Kurama sisters.
He purposely ignores them after letting them in the room.
And in the end, they’re put to later, and Mizushima house is placed first.
Their pride is shattered into pieces.
Mental assault has started.
kouzuki-sama!
Kurama Arisu tries to connect in a hurry.
I told you to stay silent, didn’t I? I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!
Kurama Misato-san cries again.
That agonizing cries of her are putting pressure on Mizushima Karen-san.
Katsuko-kun, could you give Mizushima house a call? Certainly
Katsuko-nee makes a phone call, just like a secretary.
This flow of events, it’s been rallied beforehand.
It’s connected to Mizushima-sama now Hmm
Katsuko-nee said Jii-chan pushed a switch on the tabletop.
It’s Kouzuki kakka, i’m very sorry for this occasion
An old voice comes from the speaker.
Perhaps, it’s the head of Mizushima house, Karen-san’s grandfather.
I will not give excuses. A Kansai Yakuza intruded into our house. When I come to, I couldn’t run away, and I had to follow what they tell us. And thus, it leads to this scandal
The old man narrates.
Then, so what do you intend to do?
Jii-chan asks.
that is, of course, I will take responsibility and will retire from all my posts in Mizushima holdings. And my son will. That’s not enough. Not enough at all
Jii-chan cuts it off.
Then, shall my son stay away from Mizushima holdings? Or do you want Mizushima house to leave their hands from Mizushima holdings?
Jii-chan.
I don’t care about that. I have no interest in Mizushima holdings. Try not to do any trivial negotiations with me
Jii-chan speaks harshly.
Mizushima house can back off from Mizushima holdings, but you still are in control of most of the businesses. There’s no difference even if Mizushima house no longer has jurisdiction on Mizushima holdings that’s. Your plan is to reach a compromise with me and do whatever you want after that
Oh.
If Karen-san’s grandfather leaves his post and has his son succeed.
He knows that Jii-chan would reject it.
Thus, he’ll pretend to do what Jii-chan tells him, he won’t let his son take the managerial position, and the story ends.
In reality, the Mizushima house is still the largest stockholder of the company.
He could return as the top position in the company anytime he wants.
Besides, you caused this scandal on purpose with that goal in mind, didn’t you?
Jii-chan said.
no, it wasn’t on purpose. This case is only because the Yakuza coerced us, and we can’t do anything I have a report on the many periods of Mizushima holdings’ administration. It’s quite an achievement to be this corrupt Huh? No, well.
The old man’s voice goes higher.
Did you know about this joke from when the second world war ended?
Jii-chan speaks.
A country in economic collapse, and yet, internally, branching out and conquering various powers. Because they protect their vested interests and power, the social system can never reform. If things went that way, the country’s demise is definite. Thus, someone suggested of electing a new minister of government yes If that’s the case, then there’s no other choice but war. We will declare war on the strongest nation, America
Declaring war on America?
Naturally, our country will be defeated. We might be punished as war criminals. However, our country can board on the victor, America, and rebuild. They will send thousands of millions as economic assistance, and they will collaborate in breaking down the old attitude, creating infrastructure, medical care, and education. We will lose the war and rebuild America will rebuild our country What the hell is that? Actually, after the second world war, America did assist various countries to recover. America doesn’t declare war to reform and rebuild a country’s economy, but.
Jii-chan said.
Your goal this time is basically that, isn’t it?
Ah.
It’s my belief that nobility must not collapse, that we must not shut it down. Most nobility was lost in the war. Back then, we all had our hands full from just protecting our house from collapse and the evil trying to attack us. Therefore, there were plenty of families we couldn’t save. To repent from that, I thought of not letting any more nobility disappear, no matter what yes, I’m aware that Kakka thinks that way
