That building is too precious, yet hard to live in, and so, it’s preserved and used only during exceptional occasions.
The heating is just firewood in the fireplace, and the chimney is connected to each room.
A part of the window glass comes from the Meiji period, and it’s impossible to reproduce at the current age.
Traditional buildings are beautiful, but to live in it, is a different story. Designs with no air-conditioning system will always be hot in summer and cold in winter. The ventilation improvement during summertime is a priority. If you were to put in air-conditioner, the cold wind would only escape. It’s hard to cool off. And the cold wind outside comes in during winter Jii-chan said. It’s better to live in a new house instead
With that said, Jii-chan’s living in the building constructed during the Heisei Era. That one’s much more spacious and it’s fully equipped with air-conditioning. Ruriko and Yoshiko-san’s living there too.
Although, if you were to hold a party, this older building retains the charm
And that’s why the Garden Party is held at the Showa era Mansion courtyard.
I see. Most of them have gathered now
Jii-chan looks down at the courtyard from the terrace.
Oh, beautiful women wearing party dress sits down on white chairs and is having a fun conversation.
Then, each of them has their personal bodyguards on their sides.
Other than the female personal bodyguards, the others are standing by outside the courtyard. Naturally, that includes everyone from the Kouzuki SS as well
Oh, those that aren’t female bodyguards.
That means that they have male bodyguards brought in too.
It’s our informal social gathering. Besides, Shou-oneesama and Reika-oneesama, the elites of Kouzuki SS will be giving them lectures, and so the bodyguards from other companies are refraining themselves I see. Kouzuki SS won’t be teaching their ways to their business rivals. Hmm, very well
Jii-chan looks at the girls.
Don’t you think they’re all beautiful?
Sure. The ladies from wealthy families are all beautiful and have good builds.
Why do you think so?
Jii-chan looked at me and smiled.
Why? It’s because they’re pampered, right? That’s what I’m asking, why are these young ladies beautiful?
That’s.
It’s because the family only marries to beautiful women?
Hit or miss. I answered that way.
Well, that’s right. The rich and powerful love beautiful women. If you make a child with a beautiful woman, then the child would become genetically attractive as well. And if you repeat that each generation, the mother’s beauty adds up, and soon enough, only beautiful children would be born I see
Misuzu, Ruriko, and Yoshiko-san, they’re all beautiful.
Naturally, some families marry their daughter to their fellow to strengthen their connection. However, still, that family will take the beautiful woman. Back in the old times, some children were born from the mistress womb who inherited the family, as the legal wife didn’t give birth Noble families mean that they’ve gathered beauty genetics. And the women in there aren’t just daughters of wealthy families. They’re not daughters of upstarts. They are daughters of noble families that were in the upper class for generations
Jii-chan said.
Therefore, they’re all beautiful
I look at the women once again, but.
My, Kouzuki-sama’s present! Oh! Kakka !
Oh, the girls noticed us watching them from the second floor.
The merry conversations they had earlier quiet down.
They must be tensed that Jii-chan appeared.
Don’t look at their eyes yeah
Jii-chan whispered to me.
Let’s go, Danna-sama
Misuzu takes the lead, then I follow her. Behind us are Jii-chan, Ootoku-san, and Choumoto-san.
We head down the white staircase from the terrace’s side to the courtyard.
The women in the courtyard hold their breaths as they watch us come down.
Yoo.
I’m getting nervous now.
The tension is so high that if it was Ai, she’d already say shuffle on herself.
Oh, by the way, Kuromori-kun
Jii-chan speaks loudly while we head down the stairs.
I heard from your sister about the business you want to start with Katsuko-kun
Huh, Katsuko-nee, and my business?
When it comes to business. Failures aren’t allowed for professionals
Oh, the bakery?
Katsuko-nee scolded me when I tried baking something arbitrarily.
Did that reach Jii-chan?
Oh. I thought that the customers wouldn’t like the same product every time. Selling failed products harms the customer’s trust. That’s why I can’t fail
I said.
Hmm. From a business management perspective, that is correct. We never sell a failed product no matter what. However.
We’re already down the stairs and in the courtyard.
However, to profess your work also means that you must not fail in your business. That’s indeed a difficult problem
The ladies and their bodyguards pay their attention to Jii-chan and me, who got down the stairs.
Some of them left their seats and is coming to greet Jii-chan.
I’ve been thinking recently about business, and work
Jii-chan ignores the girls and sits down on the seat in an open table.
Well, sit down, Kuromori-kun Ah, okay
I also ignore the gaze of the girls and sit down.
Misuzu sits next to Jii-chan.
Ruriko comes in naturally with a smile.
Grandfather and Kuromori-sama are in the middle of a conversation.
Misuzu tells Ruriko.
Indeed, just like usual
Ruriko replied with a smile.
Indeed, just like usual. I’ll leave the others to you, Ruriko Yes, Misuzu-oneesama
Ruriko calls Misuzu Onee-sama in public.
The girls in the courtyard observed us.
They’re all looking this way, saying nothing.
Well then, Kuromori-kun. Do you think that there is work in this world where you must never fail? I think they exist
For example, the fight with Cesario Viola.
Failure means everyone’s death. And so we can’t lose.
True, there are that sort indeed. Especially if it’s a life-or-death situation, doctors, rescue team, firefighters, police, and soldiers
Jii-chan said.
However, let’s put that unique jobs aside. Let’s think of the general occupations people take
Jii-chan starts to speak, he’s looking only at me.
For example, a professed job means I can’t fail this, and if I fail this, I will get fired, which do you think that is?
That’s.
Well, there’s none. What decides the fate of a company is its big projects. However, does that mean that you must not fail? Would you lose your job if you fail?
Err.
Before we reach a conclusion, let me say this, no matter what job it is, if it’s a professed work, then failures are forgiven to some degree. Well, it may result in a demotion or a halt in your success, but you won’t lose your job. It won’t drop you to hopelessness where you have to die as an apology Failures are forgiven?
You don’t lose your job that easy?
That’s how it is with regular employees. The employee who failed won’t lose his job unless it’s a significant loss of profit Err, so, how big are we talking? Well, we’re talking about cases where it affects the foundation of the company if it’s an ordinary one. If it’s a bigger one, then they will start firing when there’s hundreds of millions of loss of assets. Oh the other hand, if it’s a small company, a million yen decline may cause the person who failed to file his resignation. And if it’s not a problem of money, it depends on the company or the person who broke the trust, and so it must be dealt with I see. However, the business won’t discharge its regular employees unless it reaches that extent. The labor union is a noisy bunch, and the law protects the workers too
Jii-chan looked at me.
