Get yourself together, Kudou Michi-san

Uugh

Michi looked at me.

Master, I.

I.

We’re still family, no matter what path Michi chooses, I’m myself, Michi’s still Michi, right? So don’t worry about it. Take your time considering. Either way, we’re going to need Michi as our bodyguard for now Yes

You still have a year until Misuzu graduates, and Ruriko still needs three more years. Michi still has some time in school, so you can take your time and think about what you want in the future

Certainly

But, don’t set yourself in it. You have other paths other than becoming a bodyguard

I said.

Take interest in various things. And, concern yourself with those interests. And I’m sure that you’ll be able to see what you want to become

Then.

Kou-sama too

Tsukiko?

The bakery is Katsuko-sama’s dream. Kou-sama, I think that it’s about time you find your own dream

i.

Chapter 968. Morning Sisters Pride

Okay, we’re about to arrive

Just like last night, we head outside the rear entrance of the Kouzuki mansion and drive to the main entrance of the old training building.

There are some uniformed guards from Kouzuki SS before the entrance but as soon as they saw Shou-neechan’s face, they let us through.

And then, the car heads to the first floor’s parking lot.

Err, all I have to tell them is that their parents died, right?

I asked Shou-neechan.

Yes, don’t talk about anything specific. Although, you can tell them what the media knows

Of course, Kouzuki house is controlling the information.

It’s in the talk shows right now so if they don’t believe you, just show them the broadcast

Yeah.

If they see a commentator on a talk show or a reporter on a news show, they’ll believe it.

Even if it’s Kouzuki house, they can’t make a fake show by gathering such people.

No, I’m sure that they have enough influence and money to create a fake show, but still.

They won’t do something that large-scale just for the daughters of Yakuza.

They’ll know that much.

Good morning!

Kinoshita-san greets happily in the morning.

I’ll take over Reika, and prepare a meeting with Minaho-san. Kinoshita-san will lead the way

Got it. Tell Minaho-neesan and Rei-chan my regards. Thanks, Shou-neechan

I thanked Shou-neechan, she smiled and entered the building.

So, what’s up?

Kinoshita-san asks me.

Hmm, Tendou Otome, Tokuda Sonoko-san, and Kurosawa Naoko-san, Rie & Eri, and Ya-chan & Mana-chan are on separate rooms, right?

I asked.

Yes, they’re on separate floors and rooms

Minaho-neesan and Rei-chan are both busy and so nobody made contact with them this morning?

Yes, last night, Kuromori Minaho-san was talking to them but she’s been busy manipulating information from the late night and since

Oh, she was guiding Sonoko-san and Naoko-san for their job as prostitutes, but.

After that, she got busy with the jobs from Kouzuki SS.

Ah, but, breakfast reached each of their rooms

Kinoshita-san said.

What’s the situation?

Err, starting from above.I mean, those who have someone from Kuromori house with them, well, they were at peace. They were having a good chat until late

Nei and Mana are looking after Eri and Rie.

But, for the lower floor, they seem to be awake all night. You-knowho is frightened all the time

Tendou Otome had a near-death experience from Edie’s Qi.

Then, let’s go check the lower floor first

I decided.

I’m more worried at Tendou Otome and the two who we left behind last night.

Certainly, I’ll be leading the way

Kinoshita-san smiles.

Michi and Tsukiko are off the car already.

Hey, Torii-san, let’s go

I call out to Torii-san who remains in the car.

I’m.uhm

Tsukiko already lifted her order. Torii-san can talk as she please now.

Why is Kuromori-sama doing all this?

She looks at me.

This what?

Uhm, I mean, you’re going to tell the girl who invaded the party yesterday that her father died, aren’t you?

Yes. To be precise, it’s not just Tendou Otome. The Yakuza group from Kansai sent the children of the group together with her

The three girls we abandoned and Shigeyo-san who already came back to her relatives are no longer present here.

They have no place to go, and so they’re staying here. They know that their parents will die. But, you see, hearing that they died for real is going to be a shock to them

Then, why is it that Kuromori-sama is the one doing it?

I.

Torii-san, have you ever punched someone?

Never

Of course.

She’s the young lady of Torii Electronics. And she’s a girl.

You can use your hand, your fist, or even some beat-up stick, if you hit someone, it’ll give you a response. You’ll see how much damage you did on the other party. You did the hit after all. You’ll know how much painful it can get because you did it I clenched my fist and said.

I want to understand what it means when I make the hit. How does the other party feel, does it hurt them? Are they suffering? Do they find it harsh? I have to feel it

Torii-san stares at me.

If it’s not your hand that makes the hit, you won’t understand who got hit. No, you can imagine how much damage the other party received if you’re smart, or maybe you can calculate and make a guess based on the physical damage, but, I’m an idiot so I can’t do that I must make an effort to look at the other party to understand.

This is the reason why I don’t leave this to others

However, they’re just troublesome people who hold ill-will towards us, right? I don’t know about that Tendou girl or whatever but I don’t care if I don’t see her again

To Torii-san, Tendou Otome is just a spy from the Yakuza who infiltrated the party for the young ladies of nobility to gather information about them.

You’ll know once you see them

I said.

Anyway, they came after us yesterday but a lot of people died concerning the party yesterday. That’s the fact

But, they’re all bad people. Isn’t that what Yakuza is?

Torii-san can’t agree.

Yes, and I don’t actually care if they die. I’m actually glad that they did

They’re people who gang-raped the daughter of the weakest of the group to waste time in Tokyo.

I won’t forgive even those who didn’t say anything and just let it happened.

But, they have children. It’s not about logic. Someone has to take all their hate and anger

If not, they cannot survive what’s ahead.

I don’t get it

Torii-san looks away from me.

It’s okay. For now, look at them. Aren’t you going to watch over everything, Torii-san?

Haa

She sighs.

I get it

Torii-san in her maid uniform gets off the car.

Here, it’s this room

Kinoshita guided us to Tendou Otome’s room.

She uses the keypad to unlock the door.

Okay

She opens the door without knocking.

Hey, everyone, did you eat your breakfast?

Her optimism is boundless as usual.

I mean, that’s a bit scary.

We follow Kinoshita-san and come inside the room.

It’s a 10 tatami mat floor at least.

On the right side, Kurosawa-san, the girl who willingly accepted to become a prostitute is covering herself with a blanket.

On her side are a half-empty pet bottle and an empty lunch box.

Tokuda Sonoko-san and Tendou Otome are on the left side.

As usual, Kurosawa-san hates the two.

Tendou Otome.

Sonko-chan! Sonoko-chan, I’m scared

She continues to cling to Sonoko-san in her regressed state.

Err, uhm, morning

For now, I greeted them.
