but, it might be urgent
Then return at once. Are you aware that you visited without an appointment? You’re the one who forced your way in here and yet you say that, aren’t you being rude to the Kouzuki house?
Nagisa tells Kenmochi.
No, but, still, can’t we change to a room where there’s mobile reception?
The lawyer said.
I asked before already but why? State the reason clearly
Nagisa smiles.
Uhm, being enclosed in a room where I can’t contact outside makes me feel somewhat uneasy
Uneasy? You’re a lawyer and yet you speak some strange things. There are four men on your side. Our side only has one boy and everyone else are women. Furthermore, I may be past my 20s but these people are still children, see?
That’s right, we have more people, but.
The other side has;
You’re a company president, that one’s a lawyer, and the other one is a police alumnus, and the internet news guy, aren’t you all adult males? Meanwhile, all we have here are students. We even have one in elementary Nagisa said with a smile.
We can say that we feel fear to be in the same room as you but I don’t think that you can do the same
That’s right. She’s right.
But, this is the Kouzuki mansion. I’ve seen various bodyguards until we reached this place
The lawyer speaks stubbornly.
So what? I think that it’s Kouzuki house’s decision where the visiting people should stay? I think it would be weird for you to say I don’t like this room, let’s change to another one
Nagisa said.
what do we do, Kenmochi-san?
Kobayakawa asks Kenmochi.
If this goes on, we can’t do any Kouzuki house now
That’s.
Nagisa smiles.
Oh, you intend to upload the conversation inside the Kouzuki house to the internet? Or maybe, you’re using a microphone to record the conversation and stream it?
Oh, they’re trying to make someone from the Kouzuki house admit that they’re imprisoning the Kurama sisters in whatever method.
They intend to take back the Kurama sisters by threatening us to release the remarks we just gave.
Or maybe, they intend to use a controversial statement for their Anti-Kouzuki house campaign.
Hmph, so they have a defense plan against the internet era
Kenmochi glares at Nagisa disgusted.
Wrong. Didn’t I mention earlier? This room only has poor reception Ufufu
Kouzuki house will not publicly announce that they’re in a room where reception is isolated.
Tsk, dammit, then let’s go with my plan. Oh right. Let me go to the toilet
Kenmochi said.
Oh? So now you intend to call your office from the toilet and talk about what’s the next plan?
Nagisa said.
What? You can’t act by yourself without asking your staff?
Oh, as expected, he wants to release the conversation through the phone.
His office has a team that can look at the contradictions and the other side of what we tell them.
These four specialists are fakes and in truth, they have more people in standby.
Anyway, I’m going to the toilet! I can’t help it! I need to piss now
Kenmochi shouted.
The toilet is over there
Michi points at the wall behind Kenmochi.
It’s the restroom for this drawing-room
Yeah, there sure is a door that stands out.
Do your business over there and hurry up
Nagisa tells Kenmochi with a smile.
no
What’s wrong, you’ll leak if you don’t hurry
It’s not coming out anymore. My bladder closed
If the toilet is in the drawing-room that blocks off reception, then the restroom also blocks reception.
It would be impossible for them to make contact with their phone from the restroom.
You people are quite interesting
Yoshikawa, the former police officer speaks after a long silence.
However, this isn’t good conduct. The wall over there, that ceiling, and that one, those are hidden cameras.
He points at the surveillance cameras in the drawing room
Perhaps, there should be some hidden microphones as well
What? You bastards are recording us without our permission?
Kenmochi shouts.
Well, that’s indeed unfair. What’s this? Does the Kouzuki house always take secret photos of their guests without their permission?
Wow! That’s an outrageous family
Kobayakawa stirs up.
Hey, if you’re recording then stop it right now! This is an infringement of privacy! What the hell is this place? What a horrible family!
Kenmochi shouts loudly.
Then.
Sure, this room has some cameras and microphones, and everything that’s happening here is recorded, but.
Michi’s aid.
Oh! You admitted it! You admitted using wiretaps and hidden cameras! Hey! Kobayakawa! Be sure to write that down! I’m going to write on my blog saying that Kouzuki house received us outrageously Kenmochi heats up.
So, what crime is it?
Michi speaks calmly.
Isn’t it a crime to take secret photos and wiretap the guests who came to search? Huh? Do you not get it?
Then, what criminal law is it?
What?
Don’t ask me. I’m the one asking
Michi looks at Kenmochi with cold eyes.
Huh? yoshikawa-san, tell this brat what it is!
Kenmochi brings the subject to Yoshikawa.
However.
Well, that’s.
Yoshikawa hesitates.
There’s no crime if one has cameras and microphones installed in their private home. It’s the owner’s freedom to install whatever device they want in their rooms
Michi said.
However, that camera’s filming us secretly, hasn’t it? They took records of my face without my knowledge! Isn’t it a crime to take photos of me without my permission?
If you’re going with that logic, then you should sue all the supermarkets, convenience stores, and banks
Kenmochi gets offended.
But I’m Kenmochi Yuugo! What about my right of publicity?
It would be hard to claim your right of publicity if the video isn’t used to make a profit. If one’s a celebrity whose face is known to many people, security cameras can capture their face when they visit a business facility, and if you make a claim that I have my right of publicity, and so don’t show me on security cameras, then it would be difficult Is she telling the truth?
Kenmochi asks Moori, the lawyer.
Yes, I don’t think that we can make a claim in this case
The lawyer accepts Michi’s claim.
If that’s the case, why is Yoshikawa saying that it’s a problem?
Kenmochi looks at the former policeman.
That’s because police often use it
Nagisa smiles.
You talk about something that isn’t an illegal act and says that it’s a problem to shake the other party, don’t you?
Ugh
Yoshikawa is speechless.
Earlier, he said, It’s unfair. That means the fact that your phones can’t contact outside, and we’re recording videos of you is unfair, but it’s not illegal
Oh, he said that on purpose to scare us off!
Torii-san is impressed.
I see. He purposely used hidden cameras and wiretap to make it sound like it’s an illegal act
That’s right. You should remember that. It’s a method often used by government people. This is bad, or Oh, you see. or Oh man, but they won’t speak of certainty. They’re only creating a mood to coerce you That’s informative!
Nagisa said. Torii-san nods.
Nono, wait, I just noticed it now, cameras might be okay but what about wiretap? Isn’t that illegal?
Kenmochi asks again.
Oh? Are you sure you want to ask that?
Nagisa laughs.
Aren’t your lawyer and your newsman using a voice recorder in their pocket, recording the whole conversation?
Ngangu!
Bingo.
It’s common sense in the modern era. When having a serious talk with someone, you need to have a record of the conversation. Even phones can be used as a sound recorder
You’re also recording and yet you complain about our methods? Isn’t that what we call unfair?
Nagisa said.
but! i’m a guest! I’m Kouzuki house’s guest! what do you think of the guests of the Kouzuki house! this is rude!
