That guy too, he’s a former officer in the police department but he’s just an ordinary policeman. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has control only in Tokyo, and the workers over there are just local government employees. Besides, I remember all the names of the top brass of the police for the past five years but I don’t remember the name, Yoshikawa. Therefore, I don’t know his post before his retirement age but I hardly think that he has any strong influence on the current post officers Nagisa speaks of the former police officer.
A high-ranking retiree could become an adviser of his company, but don’t you think that it would be awkward for them to come with him?
ahem
The former police officer fidgets.
Oh, he’s brought to the Kouzuki mansion without knowing where he’s taken along.
As for the news site, what was the name again?
Nagisa asks with a smile.
GALAPAGOS News Flash!
I see, and your name is?
Kobayakawa
He’s lost to Nagisa’s captivating charm.
Kobayakawa what? Your given name is?
Toshiaki. Kobayakawa Toshiaki
I see. Toshiaki-san. Toshiaki-san, do you write your name on your articles?
No, I use my handle name
What is your handle name?
Uhm, it’s Cheshire NEMO
Cheshire
Well, it’s the Cheshire cat from the Alice in Wonderland, and the mobile suit Nemo, and I made it a new name
Are there other people writing on your site? What’s your other SNS?
Ah, I have twitter and Facebook
I knew it, that Chershire
It’s Cheshire NEMO!
Do you have other hidden accounts?
Err, I use Humpty Dumpty name on tweeter.
Is that all?
No, there’s another, Bartholomew
What’s that?
Bartholomew is the sound of the legs opening, ah, it’s hard to explain
That’s unfortunate
What?
Why is Nagisa asking that?
Oh well. And so, Kenmochi-san, what is your business for today?
Nagisa asks.
No, wait a second, why is it that you’re the one talking? Are you from the Kouzuki house? If Sir Kouzuki doesn’t show up, then.
Kenmochi looked at Misuzu.
However, Nagisa.
Misuzu-chan, don’t entertain him. If you talk to him, it’ll only drop down your status
She tells Misuzu to stay quiet.
Misuzu-chan, your greeting earlier is enough when it comes to dealing with this person
The young lady of nobility shouldn’t talk to these kinds of people.
But.
But, Nagisa, we don’t know the situation yet, do we?
I said.
Yes, that’s why you and I are dealing with him
Nagisa smiled at me.
Isn’t that Kuromori’s purpose?
Oh right.
We can’t face people like him straightforwardly.
We should deal with him like the people on the other side.
So, Kenmochi-san, what do you want to do?
Nagisa asked. Kenmochi;
Isn’t that obvious?
What’s obvious?
Nagisa asks back with a smile.
i mean those who are in the mansion.
What?
You already know it! I came here to take them back
I don’t know what you’re talking about
I’m telling you to return the daughters of Kurama!
Kenmochi finally speaks his demands.
It seems that he wants to put pressure on us and have us voluntarily hand over the Kurama sisters to us.
I see.
Besides, it won’t be a threat.
This guy’s level is talking about protecting the rules.
Oh, are those girls in here?
Stop screwing with me! I heard it from the Kurama house! They said that their daughters haven’t returned since yesterday!
My, that’s awful. Did you check all the places you have in mind?
Nagisa said with a smile.
Hey, hey! I know it! The head of this family called Kurama house and said that he won’t return their daughters. If that’s the case, then the Kurama daughters are still here!
I’m sorry, I just came to the mansion earlier, I don’t know anything about it!
That’s right, it hasn’t been thirty minutes since Nagisa came here.
I haven’t even met Kurama-san’s daughters. I haven’t seen them
I don’t care if you saw them or not
Kenmochi screams.
Anyway, bring them in here! We’re taking them back! Hurry up!
Err.
Err, Kuromori-sama, may I?
Torii-san asks for permission.
Sure
Uhm, Kenmochi-san, what kind of qualifications do you have?
Qualifications?
I mean, did the Kurama house ask you to do this?
Oh, as expected of Torii-san. That’s a good question.
If in case he asked you, do you have proof? Did they give you the power of attorney?
I don’t have those!
Kenmochi said.
He only asked for advice. Director Kurama did. He asked me what to do, and so I came here to take them back
So he only asked for advice? Then can we assume that the Kurama house hasn’t given Kenmochi-san any formal request?
Kurama house is also a member of the nobility.
They wouldn’t want to fight the Kouzuki house openly.
I don’t have any formal request but I carry the will of Director Kurama!
Then, isn’t that a violation of the rules?
Torii-san tilts her head.
However, Sir Kenmochi is Kurama Misato-sama’s fiance. I think that is enough qualifications for him
Kenmochi’s lawyer said.
No, this is an interesting story. I’m getting excited
Kobayashi took out his laptop.
Then.
Huh?
Chapter 997. Noon Sunshine Cheap
What’s wrong?
Kurama Misato-san’s fiance, Kenmochi Yuugo asks Kobayashi, the guy from a news site on the internet.
Kobayakawa’s looking at his laptop with a curious face.
No, you see
Kobayakawa takes out his phone this time.
There’s no reception?
What?
Kenmochi and lawyer Moori takes out their phones.
Oh, maybe this room doesn’t have good signal reception?
Nagisa smiles.
Can’t help it, it’s a problem with the building. Let’s change place to where there’s reception
Kenmochi sighed and looked at the closed door.
Wait, could it be that this room prevents phones from making contact outside?
It’s not like that, it just happened to be a spot where you can’t
Nagisa asserts.
That’s amazing, from hearing Misuzu and Shou-neechan’s conversation earlier.
I now understand what kind of room this B3 Drawing room.
The mansion I lived back then had rooms that dampen reception. If I recall, the rooms are used to prevent people from leaking information outside, but Kouzuki house doesn’t do that, right?
She looked at Misuzu with a smile.
Our mansion has rooms that block off reception.
Back when it was a brothel, it’s used to stop bad customers from taking photos of the prostitutes and other guests and upload it to the internet or their pc.
As soon as phones with cameras were on sale, Shirasaka Sousuke had them installed in a hurry.
Shirasaka Sousuke himself is a man with a face on the surface as a director of an advertising company, and so he doesn’t want any hidden photos, but.
The scoundrel thinks that all the customers other than himself also scoundrels like him.
If they get their hands on a phone with a camera, they will definitely take peeping photos and upload it over the internet.
Therefore, he is also careful with the prostitutes from taking photos, making the rooms where reception doesn’t reach.
Nagisa’s a former prostitute, and so she’s still cautious of it.
Hey. Can we change to a room where there’s the reception?
Kenmochi glares.
Oh, why?
Nagisa smiles.
I mean, if my office suddenly calls me, I can’t answer them
Oh, aren’t you in a visit with the Kouzuki house? Couldn’t you just call from outside the mansion once you’re done with our conversation?
