A girl that seems to be the big sister, wearing the same white dress, stops the middle-school girl, but.

But, Onee-sama!

The girl called Arisu shouts at Jii-chan.

pleased to meet you! i’m Kurama Arisu!

Jii-chan just talked about prohibiting direct greetings at him, and yet.

And this is my big sister! Kurama Misato ! i’m very sorry for her, Kakka

The big sister tries to cover her sister’s mouth.

excuse the discourtesy. I’m very sorry. Kakka, everyone

She bows to Jii-chan and the girls around.

Looking at where they’re sitting, these sisters are related to the Kouzuki group. Still, they have a weaker status compared to other girls.

Oh, you girls? I heard from Kurama-kun about you

Jii-chan speaks to the sisters.

Come over here. Bring your sister with you yes, Arisu, Kakka’s calling us Ah, yes, Onee-sama

The sisters look at Jii-chan with a serious face.

Jii-chan thinks for a moment.

Hmm, oh well.

He speaks in ill humor.

Sorry, but I couldn’t help you kakka!

The sisters’ face turns pale.

Naturally, my answer would be no. I’m sorry

Jii-chan said. And looked at me.

And so, could you listen to their story, Kuromori-kun, Misuzu?

me?

You can listen to them. I’m not telling you to do something for them. I’ll leave the decision to you

No, even if you tell me that.

I will talk to Kurama-kun myself. Seriously, what a troublesome man. I’m not a charity man. I’m only interested in business

Business.

Therefore, if the two of you are going to talk about business, then I’ll help you. If not, you can return

The Kurama sisters trembled.

If it was me, I would’ve turned them away at this moment. It’s that kind of circumstance. However, if it can become a business study material for Kuromori-kun, I wouldn’t mind helping those girls Understood, we will have Danna-sama discuss with Kurama-san, and we’ll report it to Grandfather later

Misuzu speaks before I could respond.

No, you don’t have to. Deal with it yourselves. I couldn’t care less about the results

Then, he looked at the sisters.

I’m thankful for Kurama-kun’s longstanding loyalty. However, he’s paying for his mistakes. I don’t intend to do anything with your family uu O-Onee-sama? Misato-oneesama?

The elder sister started crying, the younger sister embraced her.

That’s all. Well then, I will be taking my leave

Jii-chan brings Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san with him and gets back inside the mansion.

Misuzu and I.and all the ladies that were sitting down just now stands up.

They all bowed to Jii-chan.

However, the Kurama sisters are still embracing each other, weeping.

When she was sure that Jii-chan’s out.

Since Grandfather asked, Torii-san, Kanou-san, come here

Misuzu calls the two.

Also, Kurama-san.

The two are still crying.

Hey, don’t make us wait!

Torii-san tells the sisters.

Kakka gave his command, now come

Kanou-san slaps the big sister on her shoulders.

If you continue to cry yourselves like that, you’ll only cause trouble to the other families.

She speaks kindly yet harsh.

i’m very sorry, everyone.

Kurama-elder speaks to the other ladies in the same table.

that’s right, hurry up and go to Misuzu-sama’s table You don’t have to mind us

The daughters of the Kouzuki group on the same table just want to get rid off the nuisance as soon as possible.

Well, Jii-chan went that far to say that. It can’t be helped.

So it was true that Kurama-san’s family business is in danger

They even say that.

Oh, I guess so.

That doesn’t mean that they should make a direct appeal to Kakka at such occasion You don’t have to return to our table anymore I will report what happened just now to Father when we get home My father won’t be making deals with Kurama-san anymore

Geez.

Hurry up and stand! Come over here!

I tell the Kurama sisters.

For now, we can’t do anything unless we hear your problem

Kurama-elder looked at me as if she’s going to cling.

I hate that gaze.

I’m not saying I’m helping you. I’ll just listen to what you want to say Indeed, we can only hear your story, but sorry, we can’t be of help to you. Please come here knowing that

Misuzu also pins them in.

Let’s go, Onee-sama

The little sister said.

Arisu We’ve come this far. They’ll listen to what we have to say at least Indeed

She takes a deep breath.

Then, the sisters stand up.

Come, Kurama-san

The lady in the wine dress, Kanou-san, looks like a caring person.

She held up Kurama-elder in her arms and walked together with them.

It can’t be helped.

Torii-san comes to our table.

Then.

Behind them.

Four bodyguards follow their masters, not saying anything.

Ruriko-san, you can come over there too

Huh? Yoshiko-san, who was inside the mansion, is now here?

I will be entertaining the people in this table

Leaving the daughters of the troublesome parents from the Kouzuki group to her.

Yoshiko wants Ruriko to go to our table?

But, Yoshiko-oneesama.

Ruriko looks at Yoshiko-san worriedly.

Yoshiko-san’s been Ruriko’s attendant for long.

Jii-chan acknowledges her as his granddaughter, but she’s still an illegitimate child of the late first son.

There’s that delicate reserve between her and the daughters of the Kouzuki group.

I will be fine

Yoshiko-san sat down on the table and looked at the young ladies.

They don’t expect me, the daughter of Kouzuki head house, announced at the very last moment, to be in this place.

She smiled.

Right.

This is Yoshiko-san’s fight to secure her place for herself.

I understand. Please entertain everyone in here, Yoshiko-oneesama

Ruriko tells her cousin.

Everyone, I give you my best regards with my precious cousin

She bows her head to the young ladies in the table.

Chapter 844. High Life Naming oneself

Err, thank you for inviting us today, it’s an honor

Torii Mariko-san comes to our table and starts greeting Misuzu and Ruriko.

Uhm, it’s the highest honor to have the two granddaughters of Kouzuki house be this close

Misuzu smiled.

Thank you for your greetings. Please, sit. Torii-san yes

Mariko-san sits down nervously.

Misuzu, then.

Kanou-sama, please sit down as well

Kanou Sakurako-san is hesitating.

Grandfather asked us to do this, please don’t worry too much. Everyone in the table over there won’t think badly of Kanou-sama even if you take a seat

That table has Yoshiko-san dealing with the young daughters of the Kouzuki group.

Seeing that she’s sitting alone on a different table, Kanou-san’s house might not be getting along with Kouzuki house.

Misuzu calls her Kanou-sama.

Indeed. This is a rare chance, please join us by all means

Ruriko, who comes in from behind, encourages Kanou-san to sit down.

You’re right. I understand. Then, excuse me

Kanou-san joins in our table.

Kanou-san’s attendant, a bodyguard who is tall and has a sharp look in her eyes, pulls the chair.

Kanou-san sits down gracefully.

Huh?

I wonder why did Torii-san’s bodyguard not pull the chair for her?

I look at Torii-san’s bodyguard while avoiding their gaze.

Oh, I didn’t see it that well because of the sunglasses, but.

Her eyes are blue. She’s probably mixed race. Her hair is black, and her facial features seem Japanese, so I thought she is, but.

Kurama-san, please

Misuzu calls out to the trembling Kurama sisters.

we.

The big sister’s afraid.
