And back then, the young ladies mostly have male bodyguards.

we do!

We do!

Anjou sisters speak with a gloomy face.

It’s just, uhm

It’s Echigojishi

Echigojishi?

Or, Kakubejishi

Kakubejishi!

What Kakubejishi?

What’s that?

you don’t know either, Edie?

Finally, something that Edie doesn’t know.

Wait, I’ll look it up now

Nei opens her smartphone.

Ah, there it is, it’s a street performer from Edo period. They do flute and drums together, hop, jump, handstand

what’s that?

Yes, it’s from the movie Kurama Tengu with Misora Hibari-sama!

It’s with Itou Tsukasa-sama on TV

The Anjou sisters speak cheerfully.

I can blow the flute, Kinuka can do dancing, and so, we can manage to do to Kakubejishi

No, look.

What’s the difference between that and Komuso?

That’s good. Let’s go with that

Minaho-neesan? eeh?

Chapter 902. Night of Fun Human, Patience.

For now, we will use these girls’ performance to gather the attention of the pedestrians

Oh. Now I get it.

Then, we’re going to get Tendou Sadao and the others in the Karaoke box while that’s happening?

That’s right. Kou

Minaho-neesan looks at the speakers.

Shou-san, prepare cars for retrieval

We have two 2 ton trucks prepared. They’re disguised as moving company agents

Yeah, we can bring the truck to the karaoke box’s side and then bring them in stealthily.

Also, the aforementioned Kouzuki SS former training hall is in the neighborhood, please use that

An unused building nearby.

Thank you, Shou-san

Minaho-neesan gave her thanks.

Wait a second!

A second!

Huh? What now?

Does that mean that our job is to be a spectacle?

Are we not participating in the punishment of the bad guys?

What punishment?

Look, the bad guys you’re talking about are divided into two groups

Nei smiled wryly and explained.

Then, the guys hiding in the karaoke box have hostages with them, and so we have to deal with them delicately, that’s our job

Edie added.

Then, there will be another group that will come from the sides, and you will deal with them

Michi speaks like a cool girl.

I see. That means you leave their destruction to us sisters?

Certainly!

Err.

If this goes on, Irokuchou Ichirou’s group, the one who will try to snatch away the Takakura shrine maiden from the sides, will.

They will be fighting these sisters while some civilians are moving around.

Ain’t that dangerous?

If there are witnesses, then it will become news.

It’s not just you two. Kinoshita-san, could you look after the two?

Minaho-neesan leaves the Anjou sisters to Kinoshita-san.

I’m okay with that

Kinoshita-san gives consent while showing her usual smile.

Your team leader is Kinoshita-san. She’s from Kouzuki SS, and so you’ll follow her instructions, won’t you?

Minaho-neesan told the sisters.

Speaking of which, it’s Kinoshita-san who brought these sisters to this room.

If you don’t follow my instructions, I’ll report it to Seki-san.

When you hinder the operation because of your selfish judgment, then you’re fired. Kouzuki SS can’t use you, and it will become a discussion among the bodyguard companies and nobility

Minaho-neesan gives a strict warning.

Right.

Anjou Mitama and Kinuka’s objectives are to work and earn money to ease up the debts of Kurama house, their Masters.

They can’t disobey Kouzuki SS right now.

It can’t be helped, we’ll follow Kinoshita-san’s orders

Orders

On the other hand, the sisters probably won’t follow orders from Michi and Edie, who are in the same generation as them.

There’s a high chance that they will mess everything up because they make a judgment call themselves.

Naturally, they won’t listen to Nei or me, who aren’t bodyguards.

I mean, to be honest, I think that they’ll ignore Minaho-neesan’s instructions all the same.

In a sense, only Kinoshita-san can hold down these two since she carries the name of Kouzuki SS.

However.

Kinoshita-san’s also a messed up person, even more than the sisters.

Is it correct to let them team up?

Then, while Kinoshita-san’s doing the road performance, Minaho-oneechan brings Yomi-chan with her and shows up on the karaoke box?

Nei said.

Yes. We will come in by car. Okay?

yes!

Yomi replied, filled with tension.

We will use the two-ton truck Shou-san prepared for us. We’ll tell Tendou-san that he’ll need some legs if he wants to escape Tokyo with Yomi-san

A means of transport to return to Kansai.

And once Yomi-san shows up, Irokuchou Ichirou-san will also move

Yes, that’s when we will block them

Kinoshita-san speaks brightly.

While the people in the karaoke box are concentrating on the fuss outside, I will sneak in and retrieve the girls

Edie said.

Then, I will storm in from the front

Michi shows her expressionless face.

As for you, you can follow Michi or me

Edie told Adelheid-san.

Ah, okay

Which do you prefer? Loud or Stealth?

That’s.

Adelheid-san compares Edie and Michi.

I’ll go loud

Well, Adelheid-san learned her skills from an orthodox school, and so she thinks that she can do her job better with Michi.

Then, you will follow me. I will not allow any disobedience, get it?

Certainly

Michi immediately puts pressure on Adelheid-san.

Okay, I’ll go stealth, Michi goes loud, and when everyone’s incapacitated, that’s when Darling will bring in boxes and pack them up

me?

Yeah, I mean, that’s all I can do.

Nei, you’ll guide the girls, okay?

Okay!

Then.

Me? What am I going to do?

Tendou Otome glares.

She wants to go with us.

As expected, she’s worried about her friends, especially Tokuda Sonoko-san.

Right, as for you.

Minaho-neesan looks at Tsukiko.

Can you pause her?

What? Pause?

Tendou Otome forgot that Tsukiko’s controlling her.

Tsukiko’s power has control over her.

Uhm, there are audio equips, right? It’s PAUSE

What do you mean by tha-Hauu!

Tendou Otome paused her thoughts.

Okay, she’s suspended for the moment

Tsukiko speaks calmly.

Tendou Otome’s mouth is wide open, she’s looking at nothing in the air.

What do you think so far?

Minaho-neesan asks Edie.

I don’t think that she’s lying about herself. Although

Right. The enemy’s plan is to let us capture Tendou Otome-san from the start

They also talked to her with the knowledge that we have the Miko power

I see. That’s why we can’t count on Tendou Otome’s information.

The proof is that the enemy number according to her and Kouzuki SS’ investigation are different

Tendou Sadao’s group has another person that Tendou Otome doesn’t know.

Tendou Otome’s father didn’t let her know that the number increased.

But, they couldn’t fool her that easy. I couldn’t sense the malice

Yeah, she thinks that all the information she knows is the truth.

She’s not making a fake story to derange us.

Her emotions of hate towards her father and wanting to save her friends is genuine

Minaho-neesan said.

But, that doesn’t mean that we can fully trust her. She will betray us without remorse anytime

For Tendou Otome, her only allies are those eight girls she brought from Kansai.

Just as we can’t trust her completely, Tendou Otome doesn’t trust us either.

If I recall, she’s lied about one thing. Tendou Sadao’s group member, Iwasaki Hiromi-san, was it?

Tendou Otome said that among the Yakuza group from Kansai, Iwasaki Hiromi didn’t bring her daughter.
