Momoko-neechan’s right, all of the nobility would banish Mizushima house.
They brought the daughters of nobility to danger after all.
Besides, bringing such person in the party hosted at the main house of Kouzuki clan, they’re just asking for disgrace.
If Kaan house steps in and also torments Mizushima house, then.
Mizushima house can no longer find help from others.
My goodness But, it’s inevitable Indeed, Mizushima-sama has done it for himself My father will not forgive Mizushima-sama either Indeed. I’m sure my Grandfather won’t either It wasn’t just his impoliteness towards Kouzuki-sama, but he also caused a scandal to our families
The old man didn’t think that the problem would blow up this big.
I don’t know how did the Kansai Yakuza threaten him that he let Tendou Otome infiltrate, but.
He thought that Jii-chan would forgive him as long as he apologizes if exposed.
That is because they lived a comfortable life in nobility for so long that he thought that if there’s a problem, he can ask for Jii-chan or Kaan house’s help, and he’s saved.
That naive involvement continued for so long.
Then, what is Kouzuki-sama’s decision? Is he going to demolish the Mizushima house?
Momoko-neechan asks Karen-san.
Mizushima-sama’s house is an old one. It will not disappear that quickly
Kanou-san speaks regretfully.
It’s not just Jii-chan who wants to keep the nobility from diminishing.
i, uhm, as for the decision.
Karen-san talks about her choice isn’t Jii-chan’s suggestion.
i, Mizushima Karen, will become Kouzuki Misuzu-sama’s servant
She came up with it, so she reports it willingly.
She does that out of her pride as the daughter of Mizushima house.
She doesn’t want the other young ladies to think that she does what Jii-chan told her.
My subordinate?
Misuzu smiles.
yes. I asked Kouzuki-sama
See?
I will serve Misuzu-sama to show apology to the scandal caused by our family But, if you were to become a servant of Kouzuki house, doesn’t that mean that Mizushima house will disappear as nobility?
Momoko-neechan said.
Most of the young ladies belong to the Kouzuki clan, but.
They belong to the nobility. Becoming a servant of Kouzuki house means differently to them.
If she remains in nobility, she will come under Kouzuki house’s faction by her will, and the management body of their family will remain independent, but.
Becoming a servant means you have no status as nobility. You must be obedient to your boss. It means she’s entrusting her fate to Kouzuki house.
If I show my devotion as Misuzu-sama’s servant when I become an adult, I will become the head of Mizushima house, and the clan will revive as nobility, or so agreed
Even so, Karen-san’s talking as if it’s her suggestion, not Jii-chan’s.
If left alone, Mizushima house will fall to ruin no matter what
The 12-year-old girl tells everyone with determination.
Naturally, it depends on me whether I can work splendidly as Misuzu-sama’s servant or not. Although, Kouzuki-sama guarantees the safety of the current Mizushima house’s minimum fortunes so I could keep our side of agreement Minimum fortunes?
Momoko-neechan reacts.
Yes, the ancestral mansion and the cultural assets passed down to their descendants, that alone will remain preserved
Momoko-neechan turns to the young ladies.
Everyone. Did you hear that? Once your return home, no, I don’t mind if you do it right after leaving your seat. You are to report what happened today to your parents and grandparents. Kouzuki-sama and Kaan Momoko says that you are free to do whatever with the businesses managed by Mizushima house and the related companies That means, they won’t care about what they do with Mizushima house’s business and other related industry, and.
Oh, I see.
So far, those who are in the same trade were holding back.
All because of the idea that they don’t want nobility to diminish, so, they don’t want to crush them down if possible.
However, leave your hands off the fortunes Mizushima house will pass to their descendants. That’s because Mizushima Karen-san here will inherit it someday
Momoko-neechan looks at Karen-san.
Indeed. All of the nobility has to monitor Mizushima-sama so he won’t sell it off to good-for-nothing people when he has troubles with money Thank you
Karen-san bows her head.
I see, taking away the nobility status from Mizushima house for a while is a suitable punishment. Mizushima-sama needed to receive that much, at least. And during that period, Karen-san will become Misuzu’s servant. Karen-san will separate from her father and will become a follower of Kouzuki house, and once Karen-san becomes the head, Mizushima house will revive Kouzuki group will use her past as Misuzu’s servant as the foundation for the revival of the Mizushima house. Mizushima Karen-san is such a cute girl that I won’t mind making her my servant, but the events today all happened in Kouzuki-sama’s mansion. It can’t be helped, right, Misuzu?
Momoko-neechan looked at Misuzu.
Just because she’s your servant doesn’t mean you can be harsh with Karen-san. She’s the daughter that will revive Mizushima house someday
Misuzu smiles.
No, Momoko-oneesama. I can understand what you’re saying but, if she is my servant, then I have to treat her the same as my other servants. It will only hurt Karen-san’s resolve if I don’t do that Yes. Misuzu-sama’s correct. I will serve Misuzu-sama with all my body and soul. And I would like Misuzu-sama, Kouzuki-sama, Kaan-sama, and all the other nobility to acknowledge my loyalty. If not, I cannot wipe off the sins of Mizushima house This girl.
She’s praiseworthy for someone of her age.
I seem to be mistaken. Misuzu, train her strictly
Momoko-neechan said.
Yes. I will do so. Momoko-oneesama. Karen
Misuzu immediately calls Karen-san.
Yes, Misuzu-sama? You are now my servant, stand behind me Certainly
Karen-san bows her head then stands behind Misuzu’s chair.
Earlier, she was one of the young ladies that are allowed to take a seat, and yet,
Now, she’s a servant not allowed to sit down until her Master tells her.
I know that everyone has their thoughts towards Mizushima house because of this event, but.
Misuzu said.
As you can see, Mizushima Karen has become my servant. Do consider that any of your slanders towards Karen is slander towards Kouzuki house, do you mind?
Oh, I see.
Karen-san becoming a servant is for her protection.
It’s not just Kouzuki house. Kaan house as well
Momoko-neechan smiles.
Misuzu is my little sister. If you laugh at my little sister’s servant, then I will consider it ridicule on myself as well thank you. Misuzu-sama, Kaan-sama
Karen-san cries, overcome with emotion.
Don’t cry. You’re now a servant
Michi, her senior, hands Karen-san a handkerchief.
Crying before your master means you’re not paying attention yes
Karen-san immediately wipes off her tears.
Let’s do our best Thank you
And for some reason, the young ladies start clapping their hands.
Everyone’s making that kind of face, but we don’t know what comes next at this age
Torii-san said while grinning.
She says too much.
Everyone’s parents or grandparents might also fall into someone else’s servant just like Mizushima house if they fail Really? But yours is the one close to it, Mariko!
Momoko-neechan smiled at Torii-san.
If Torii electronics fall into crisis, nobody among the nobility will come to your help
Torii Mariko’s mother’s side was from the nobility.
Torii house doesn’t belong to the nobility.
Therefore, other nobility will not send help with the reason of preventing the decrease of nobility.
