Edie smiled at Haiji.

Thank you

Tears gather in Haiji’s eyes.

We will be together forever. Let’s all serve Onii-sama with pleasure together

Ruriko holds Haiji’s shoulders intimately.

Seeing all that.

uugh, what’s with that? Haiji, you should be my bodyguard you know!

Torii-san, who’s a little drunk, starts shouting.

This is horrible. Misuzu-sama, you took Haiji away from me

Misuzu.

Oh? But I didn’t do anything

She looked at me.

Haiji-san decided for herself. And, Danna-sama accepted her. That’s all

but!

Why is Torii-san so displeased?

Let me tell you just in case. Haiji is now Ruriko and my little sister. If you speak impolitely to my little sister, I won’t go easy, even if it’s Torii-san I’m facing

Misuzu.

Mariko and Haiji’s position have swapped now

Edie speaks to me.

Indeed. Torii Mairko-san is Kaan Momoko-oneesama’s protegee, but you’re not her little sister.

Misuzu said.

That’s right, you’re just Momoko’s follower. Protegee is different from Little sister2

Haiji-san is our little sister, our family. Haiji-san’s enemy is an enemy of Kouzuki house

Haiji became Misuzu and Ruriko’s family because she’s now my woman.

It’s a higher status compared to Torii-san, who is Kaan Momoko-oneechan’s protegee.

But, but, but! I’m the one who brought Haiji from Europe to here! Despite all that!

Torii-san shouts. Haiji.

Mariko-ojousama saved me by taking me to Japan. I’m grateful to you from the bottom of my heart. I will never forget that favor

Then, come back to me, Haiji

Haiji shakes her head while smiling.

I can’t do that. I already vowed to offer my whole life to him

She looked at me.

This man will be my Master for the rest of my life and I will stand in the same table as this family. I will do everything that I can for this family, for my Master, for my elder sisters and younger sisters, I want to work with the best that I can for them Haiji.you.

Torii-san’s speechless.

I wanted to be friends with Mariko-ojousama. But, I couldn’t cross over the split between the Master and bodyguard

That’s because.

Torii-san said.

It’s because my Grandfather is from nobility, I have the blood of Kanou house, and I will inherit nobility soon enough, that’s why I.

Oh, that is Torii-san’s insecurity.

Pretending not to worry about it.

But actually, she worries that she’s just a semi-nobility, that she’s not an actual daughter of nobility.

Therefore, she butters up Momoko-neechan of Kaan house, the nobility among nobilities.

She can’t get along with the ordinary daughters of nobility, and so, she’s thinking of getting in good terms with Momoko-neechan’s class.

I also like Haiji, but, I can’t be friends with you. Because Haiji’s my.

It’s because she’s an employee.

But it’s different now. Haiji is my little sister. Kouzuki Misuzu’s little sister

Ruriko’s little sister too

Torii-san who fusses about the lineage of nobility can’t break her master-servant relationship with Haiji.

As for the young ladies of Kouzuki house, a family that matches the Kaan house in prestige.

They accepted the halforeign girl who came from Europe with welcoming arms to the family.

why? Why is this happening?

I wonder, maybe it’s something Torii-san doesn’t understand?

But, everyone around here understands. Everyone welcomes Haiji-san

Misuzu and Ruriko tells Torii-san.

Okay, that’s enough, let’s leave this conversation and start drinking!

Mana and Nei are the brakes most of the time, but.

Since the two aren’t here, it’s Yomi who can read the mood who said it.

Have fun with it too. It’s not every day that we drink wine

Katsuko-nee pours wine on my glass.

Please take care of me

Haiji bows her head to Tsukiko.

Indeed, let’s get along. Kou-sama’s embrace truly cleans your heart

Tsukiko reads Haiji’s thoughts and said.

All your worries have disappeared. All she’s thinking is to live cutely

Hearing that makes me happy too.

Okay, everyone, do you have your glasses?

Yomi asks everyone.

Come now, Torii-ojousama, hold yours too

Shou-neechan pours wine on Torii-san’s glass.

Then, Danna-sama

Misuzu looks at me.

Yeah, let’s celebrate Haiji’s entry to our family. Cheers!

Cheers!

Ignoring Torii-san’s grumbles, we started our party.

Fuu

As expected, my body’s tired.

I sit down on the sofa and loosen up.

Edie’s looking after Haiji.

She loves looking after others so it should be okay leaving her to Edie.

Master

Michi comes over.

What’s this? She looks expressionless as usual, but.

Edie looks happy to get herself a little sister

Oh, she thinks that Haiji’s taking away Edie, her good friend.

Michi’s a complex girl.

Come here

YEs

I get Michi on my lap and hug her from behind.

Didn’t Edie say that in the assassination cult, she looks after the younglings? She’s also playing with Agnes and the girls all the time. Maybe, she just wanted a little sister in combat group?

Edie and Michi are teaching the young girls martial arts for self-protection, but.

I think that she’s just happy to have a little sister in the same combat group, someone she can teach all she wants. Like Haiji.

That’s okay. Sure, that girl has the talent, and I think that she’s suitable for our family. I have no objections that she’s Edie’s disciple

Michi says. Then she looked at me.

Master, should I also pick up a disciple?

Huh?

Anjou Mitama and Kinuka, I think that I’m better as their teacher instead of Edie, but

That’s.

No, well, putting Kinuka-san aside, Mitama-san’s older than Michi, right?

Kinuka-san’s 13. Mitama-san’s 18.

Michi’s 15, in third-year middle school.

In martial arts, the age of the disciples means nothing

Michi speaks flatly.

Instead, for someone who walked the path of martial arts like me, I can make disciples of any age

You could say that.

I think that a 15 teaching an 18 is weird, but.

A 40-year-old master can have a 45-year-old disciple, and it’s not weird.

I think that Anjou Mitama will need to become a disciple or she can’t improve

Michi said.

Those girls closed their eyes on anything other than Kurama house and their Anjou arts, and that would be bad

They already reached their dead-end

That’s how Michi sees it.

Therefore, I would like to Ask Master. Do you need those sisters?

Mitama-san and Kinuka-san.

If necessary, I will split their heads into half, but.

Now, what to do?

Anjou sisters are connected to their Masters, the Kurama sisters.

I don’t know what Minaho-neesan will do with the Kurama sisters.

And so, it would be bad if I make any move on the Anjou sisters.

We need her. Go split their heads apart, Michi

Misuzu speaks from behind before I could answer.

Unless we find the value of those sisters, the Kurama sisters will not change

That means.

Well, for now, those girls have a good nature. Timid personality will do. But, if the girl values themselves with blind belief, then they can’t take a step forward

Shou-neechan speaks her analysis.

That means, that they’re the bodyguards of Kurama house, the nobility?

Anjou clan is a bloodline that serves Kurama house as bodyguards for generations.

That’s right. But, Kurama house is no longer a nobility. Their family has been destroyed

Kurama Misato-san will become a prostitute of Black Forest brothel.

They might be able to restore their nobility status, but not now. It would be weird if the house is destroyed but the bodyguards remain. Kurama house already lost Anjou-san

That’s right, the Anjou sisters keep on chasing after the Kurama sisters, but.
