Haiji, Yomi, and Luna, listen to this
Edie tells her students.
Our duties isn’t only to keep our Master’s bodies safe Our duties is to keep our Master’s societal assessment, the trust from other people, and the pride of our Master’s clan safe
Michi said.
For instance, when Misuzu-oneesama walks downtown with other daughters of nobility and received an attack. The enemy target is another family’s daughter, and they didn’t notice that the daughter of Kouzuki house is present as they attack. Misuzu-oneesama was just involved, however, the fact that the daughter of Kouzuki house is present will hold it’s meaning, no matter what was the reason Meaning?
Buhi?
The sisters didn’t get it.
If ever I only kept Misuzu-oneesama safe, and let the attackers come after the other young ladies. It’ll hurt the honor of Kouzuki house. They will call us for protecting nobody but ourselves and for the inability to keep the other daughters safe Isn’t that the job of other family’s bodyguard? If the target is that young lady, then we’re just victims!
Maantohihi!
Hearing the Kurama sisters say that, Michi;
That won’t happen. The society doesn’t move in 50-50. The strong are obliged to help the weak all the time. If the young lady of Kouzuki house is present, even if you say that Misuzu-sama wasn’t the target, I must repel and exterminate all the enemies. That means taking them down in that place. It means tracking all of the people who orchestrated the attack and erase them from this world If she doesn’t go that far, the underground society will look down on them.
We must not feel fear from an overwhelming terror.
Of course, that also means that Misuzu-sama and the other young ladies can allow any ordinary people who just happen to be around to get hurt. Furthermore, the bodyguards such as myself aren’t allowed to receive any injury Michi said.
Well, that means that if you get hurt, you can’t accompany your master as a bodyguard anymore, right?
Muhiwa?
Sure, if one gets hurt while trying to repel an enemy attack, they sure will lose their job as a bodyguard.
However.
That’s not it. If we, the bodyguards, get hurt, Misuzu-sama, the other young ladies, and the ordinary people who just happened to be there will get worried, won’t they? Professionals cannot allow the people around them to feel such negative emotions Oh, if Michi gets hurt while an assault is ongoing.
Everyone will worry.
Bodyguards must always show composure. We must destroy our enemies, no matter how much overwhelming strength they have. Furthermore, if people are watching
If they get hurt or receive a flesh wound.
They have to endure it to not let the people around them worry.
The enemy might use some cowardly methods and try to attack us from a blind spot. However, we must sense it in that instant and deal with it with composure. Takedown the enemy without receiving any wound. That’s the true job of bodyguards Michi said. Anjou Mitama-san.
That’s an idealistic thought. But it’s impossible in practice!
Hamuhamu!
Michi shook her head.
That’s the reason why Kouzuki SS exists! The organization covers for what one or two may see as impossible. Earlier, I have mentioned, From where people see. I’m alone as Misuzu-sama’s bodyguard on her side from the eyes of society. They see nobody but me. But in truth, Kouzuki SS does all the investigation, scouting, intervention, pursuit, and repelling from behind. That’s how they protect the name of Kouzuki house Kouzuki SS has gathered information about nobility.
Of course, they know all information about the young ladies together with Misuzu.
If a daughter of a family with some trouble moves together with Misuzu.
They’ll automatically send men in plain clothes.
They will check for any suspicious people approaching.
Michi’s only the last line, the final trump card.
While we’re at it, let me tell you that when it comes to enemies of Kouzuki house, they will come to hurt ordinary people around them and start a negative campaign where they say that Innocent people are involved because of Kouzuki house. Therefore, we must never let harm reach ordinary people. We execute our mission with that in min That’s what it means to protect the honor of the clan.
But that only applies to Kouzuki-sama’s family
Buhihin!
Anjou sisters speak in frustration.
Not all nobility can do that!
Babaruu!
Yeah, even if they are nobility.
Kanou Sakurako-san’s family has a high status but her family only receives honorary positions from others and they live by just scraping along.
Some families reached ruin, just like Kurama house.
It’s Kouzuki-sama’s family and that’s why he has Kouzuki SS! But other nobilities.
Ajapa!
Ahh.
It looks like it’s not reaching them, I’ll talk
I get in between.
Michi’s talking about her pride as a bodyguard. From what I can see, Anjou-san’s work is not good. You don’t have the professional pride. I mean, you girls make the face that you’re thinking, and you never think deliberately about anything Therefore, they started a fight with Michi in this weird form.
You know, you should think for a bit and move. Also, didn’t Kouzuki SS tell the young ladies during the party that we’re this kind of organization, so please use us. So it’s okay. Henceforth, Kouzuki SS will keep all of the nobilities safe The sisters have nothing but the Kurama house’s daughters in their heads.
That’s a problem
Hobiron
Huh?
If that happens, how will Kinuka and I live?
Habarokusuku!
Us sisters can’t coordinate with an organization
Bakurogu!
Kinuka and I want to keep Kurama Misato-sama and Arisu-sama safe with just the two of us!
Opekepeppou Happa fumifumi!
Hmm.
I can understand how they feel but this is going nowhere. These two are going nowhere.
But, you girls aren’t suited as bodyguards
Edie said.
You two don’t think a lot as a bodyguard. You show too much on your faces. You like to stand out too much. You always give up on your thoughts. You don’t listen to others. You can’t make an assessment of the situation. And.
She smiled.
You’re too funny. You stand out
She’s right.
They stand out too much, more than their Masters. They can’t be bodyguards like that. It’s no good.
What? We’re the daughters of Anjou house, the clan that protected Kurama clan for generations!
Pianisshimo!
No, look.
And let me tell you, times have changed. 100 years ago is different from today. That martial arts of yours isn’t fit for the current age
Kuku! Anjou arts may have continued to fight for 100 years but it was an assassination fist of the first generation Anjou from 170 years ago!
Banburu!
That’s why it’s that old fashioned.
And that’s why you think that it’s important to pass on that old technique
Edie.
Michi and I are the same. Our skills are from old martial art
Edie learned from the assassination cult from New Orleans.
Michi had Kudou style ancient martial arts.
I also hit the same wall back then. After Grandfather taught me everything from Kudou arts, Grandfather ordered me to return to Father. Father is a man who abandoned learning halfway and came to Tokyo, and so I thought that I have nothing to learn from Father. However, Father; Michi;
My father works as a subcontractor of Kouzuki SS, and so I helped him out in his work. Then, I learned a lot from working on-site
She learned from her father.
One martial arts means to polish it and make it reach it’s ideal. You have to follow the rules from inside their school. In Kendo, it’s against the rules to use your foot to attack, you need the shank of the long sword to reach as an attack. It’s unsuited for actual combat Michi said.
My martial arts are created in the age where the Japanese wear a Kimono and sandals are natural, and so it needs fixing to match with the current age. The opponent’s sense of distance and breathing is different now. Father’s own arrangement is what’s great about it Yeah, Kudou-papa has the talent for that.
