Kurama-sama may join in the dinner table, but I don’t know
Is that so?
So?
Anjou sisters hold back.
Anyway, let’s go to the dining room
Edie told the two.
Is it okay that we join in?
Join in?
Oh, since Misuzu and Ruriko are going for dinner.
The bodyguards think that they can’t join in.
Yo-chan, what do we do? Heh
Nei looked at me while laughing.
Since we were allies during the operation, let’s eat dinner together too
I said.
It’s okay, your share is prepared as well
Mana said.
is it really okay?
Really okay?
The two seem confused, Edie.
Just come
This way
Michi, who knows the layout of Kouzuki mansion, leads the way for the Anjou sisters.
O-Okay
excuse us
Anjou sisters see Michi and Edie as bodyguards related to Kouzuki house, and so,
They reconsider that if the bodyguards are allowed to have dinner together, then they should be able to go in too.
A-chan, let’s go
Nei tells Adelheid-san who’s been silent until now.
i.
What’s wrong? Oh, you’re afraid to see your Master?
Nei laughs.
Ya-chan, what do you mean?
Why would Adelheid-san.
Why would she be afraid of meeting Torii-san?
Hmm. Yo-chan, you remain the same no matter what so you don’t get it
Huh?
I’ve seen a lot for the past hour
Adelheid-san said.
Past hour? Well, we left this mansion, went and fought at the karaoke bar, and then came back.
You’ve seen a lot of the real thing that your head is breaking open. I can understand that
Shou-neechan smiles.
I didn’t do anything
Huh? Adelheid-san?
Nonono, Adelheid-san, when you were scouting with us, didn’t you kick off the knife from the mustache Yakuza?
She moved decisively and delivered a good kick.
But that’s all I did
But that’s enough!
I shouted unconsciously.
That’s not it. Yo-chan, A-chan thought that she could work more on-site
Nei smiles wryly.
I mean, she’s got the license from the Academy
Hearing that, Adelheid-san is startled.
But now, you understand that Japan prioritizes experience more than qualifications, right?
Shou-neechan said.
yes, I finally understand that I’ve become impudent
Adelheid-san said.
No, but still, what Adelheid-san did at that time was enough. She protected Nei and me. She was helpful
But.
Oh, in her head, she can imagine that she can do what Michi and Edie do.
It’s inevitable that you’ll feel worn out. If you couldn’t move as you expect, then work hard until you can do it next time
I said.
Right. You need to master it through experience.
Shou-neechan persuaded her.
You are preeminent as a thirteen-year-old but, you’re still ways to go as a professional bodyguard. You still lack in power, speed, and sharpness
I understand that
Adelheid-san refutes, but Edie;
Don’t, you’re letting it pass through your head
She smiles kindly.
You’re too smart. Therefore, so far, you think that you can do what you have in your head. And in turn, when you go on-site, you’re filled with the thoughts that you were useless
Adelheid-san looked at Edie.
An earnest gaze.
You see, your standards are on the extremes
Standards? Extreme?
There are only two modes in your head, Completely useless, and Too great that everyone praises it, But, this world is much looser than that, there’s also That’s okay, and Well, it’s not that great, but it passes, Edie said.
And you definitely passed your job. But, you are too strict on yourself in what you desire. It’s wrong to blame yourself because you couldn’t go higher than what you did
but!
Adelheid-san, what is it that pains you?
She’s always uneasy if she’s not surpassing people. That’s how she is
Shou-neechan said.
She’s survived by showing her excelling talent compared to other people
Oh.
She escaped from a prostitution den.
Then, she graduated with an A-rank license from a security academy at age 13.
that’s right. I need to crawl out as the stronger among other people all the time!
And she lost to Michi and Edie’s overwhelming skills.
No, Adelheid-san sees that she lost.
No, I already know from the party that the two are much more skilled than me. But, I still thought that I can move better, and have more skills than them
She didn’t expect Michi and Edie to take out the remaining Yakuza after she defeated the first one.
Furthermore, they’ve dealt with the next trouble calmly
Using Shingetsu on the Yakuza wearing a bomb jacket and then repelling Iwasaki Hiromi, who was becoming incomprehensible.
Kuromori-sama and everyone was dealing with the situation calmly, and yet I’m the only one who couldn’t do anything
That’s wrong, we’re just used to the mayhem like that! Besides, Yo-chan has a bad habit of not feeling nervous at times like that
What the hell?
That’s right. You see, his brain circuits are a bit broken
Shou-neechan too.
But, I, still.
Oh, I see.
Adelheid-san was scared when Iwasaki Hiromi shows up wearing a bomb jacket.
It’s her first time to feel the fear that she might die for real.
But, we were nonchalant about it.
Well, I’m telling you it’s not like that. Ya-chan, Michi, Edie, Kinoshita-san, and I were inside, right? We were used to that. It’s a common thing
That’s not it! I was useless! I lack in the will to fight
Err.
Then, Mao-chan comes over.
Onee-chan, all you have to do is rely on Papa at times like that
What?
Hehehe, Mao knows. Papa came home with Onee-chan, but the other one with a bad look in her eyes didn’t come back
A bad look in her eyes? Oh, it’s Tendou Otome.
Agnes also knows!
Agnes also smiles.
Papa loves cute girls, but that’s not all!
Hey, what are you going to tell her?
Papa wants cute and kind girls
Yes, that’s right. Yukino-chan is also a bit of a bully, but she’s kind
Mao-chan said.
That’s why Papa also likes Onee-chan
That’s right, desuno! Onee-san is kind and cute
The two looked at Adelheid-san and smiled.
Me? Kind?
Adelheid-san is surprised.
That’s not true! I steeled my heart to survive and defeated a lot of people
Then.
That’s why it’s okay now
Yes, it’s okay now
Mao-chan and Agnes laugh.
Also, Papa, and Mao
And Agnes is here too!
Yes! We’re all together!
Onee-san, you can take it slow, and do your best to grow!
That’s right, Papa’s watching you
And when you feel lonely, ask for a hug!
Adelheid-san’s speechless.
Chapter 908. Night of Fun Soup, curry, and Salad.
Of course, we’re not forcing you. You can take your time and think about it. Reika wants to tell you that
Shou-neechan speaks to Adelheid-san with a smile.
Fujimiya Reika-san?
Adelheid-san is surprised.
Indeed, Reika back then was similar to you
Back then. Rei-chan before she joined our family.
Back then, when she was new to Kouzuki SS, she’s isolated, and she never cooperates with anyone. She does everything herself and never relies on others
Yeah, she belongs to the top elites, and yet, she works alone, wearing her gentleman suit.
Therefore, she was mentally unstable. She has such high individual ability, but she can’t do any high-level work
As for me, I’m glad that I’ve entered this family. I don’t have to do everything alone now. Just earlier, when the enemy was concentrating on Darling and Nei, I jumped in, and then Michi dashed inside right after that, we know how we think, how we move, and so we can do it smoothly Edie tells Adelheid-san.
I’m confident that someone will follow up for me even if there’s trouble. I won’t get cornered nor have my thoughts all over the place
