Nei said.
Tsukiko-san has no vision on what the shrine maiden should do despite succeeding the title since the shrine maidens were just toys for the Kansai Yakuza for over a hundred years
But, she mentioned that healing the hearts of Tendou Otome’s friends is her job as the shrine maiden, right?
That’s because she was reading Yo-chan’s mind
Huh?
Yo-chan, you want to save those girls from their painful memories, right?
Wait, then it’s me?
I don’t know what Tsukiko-san thinks of the Yakuza’s daughters for real
Then, Nei looked at Adelheid-san.
A-chan, did you join this operation voluntarily?
Adelheid-san’s surprised.
See? Are you aware? Maybe Tsukiko-san thought that the personnel isn’t enough and that’s why A-chan had to participate too
Nei also thought that it’s weird that Adelheid-san, Torii-san’s bodyguard, decided to join this operation, which she has no relation to.
Nobody’s influenced me with their power
Adelheid-san speaks flatly.
Really?
Nei looks at Adelheid-san’s reactions.
She’s trying to check if that’s Adelheid-san’s true feelings, or it Tsukiko’s power making her think that way.
I have a reason to why I’m participating this operation
Adelheid-san shows the will from her mind.
What’s the reason?
I asked.
No, if you don’t want to say it then you don’t have to
Adelheid-san.
I was born from a prostitution den
Prostitution den? In Europe?
If I wasn’t lucky enough to get rescued, I would’ve also become a prostitute and suffer
Adelheid-san seems to have gone through a lot before she graduated as a 13-year-old bodyguard from the academy.
My father cast away mother and I. Therefore, I can’t forgive fathers who let their daughters suffer
She grips her fist, trembling.
Oh.
She got angry because of the discussion where Tendou Sadao’s group torments their daughters.
Okay, I trust you, Adelheid-san
I told her.
But, don’t do anything on your own during the operation. You have to follow orders
Yes, I understand
She replied while looking down, but.
Is this going to be okay?
If blood rushed up to her head, she might forget about us and rush recklessly.
Yo-chan, don’t make that face! Minaho-oneechan told us that it’s a battle of speed, right?
Nei embraces my arm.
Minaho-oneechan already assumed that you’ll hesitate like that
I see. Minaho-neesan teamed Adelheid-san with us,
Because she can consult with us if she has worries.
Tsukiko-san also hasn’t used her power on Minaho-oneechan
Nei said.
Why do you think so?
I mean, Yo-chan.Tsukiko-san can’t make a plan for this operation. It’s outside her expertise. If she manipulated Minaho-oneechan’s mind forcibly and it turned the idea to an irregular one, it will put Yo-chan and all of us in danger, right? She won’t do anything that risky. Tsukiko-san’s clever at that RIght.
Oh well, Adelheid-san, hold hands with Nei
What?
She looks at me with a surprised face.
Well, we’re here to scout, and so we should pretend that we’re good friends. You should get used to it
Ah, right. A-chan’s the only one walking far from us. You need to get close to us, or the enemy will doubt us right away
O-Okay.
If you want, you can hold hands with me instead of Ya-chan?
I told the wavering Adelheid-san, then,
No, I’ll go with her
She held hands with Nei.
Does she hate me, or does she prefer girls?
Her response is different.
I guess she’s still a virgin.
That’s what I think.
Yo-chan, can we go talk in English for a while?
Nei said.
A-chan’s mother tongue probably isn’t English, but since she graduated from the same academy as Shou-neechan, then you can talk in English, right?
Err, why English?
Adelheid-san asks Nei.
It’s because Yo-chan can’t understand the contents when we go English
Then, from then on.
The two talk at a fast pace in English.
Adelheid-san also talks in English desperately.
I can only hear, Sure? Or Really? from time to time, and I don’t understand everything else.
Nei continued to talk in English for a while, then,
Adelheid-san continues to answer.
But I get it.
They can get along, bit by bit, if this conversation continues.
Minaho-neesan put Adelheid-san in our team because;
Nei can break down Adelheid-san’s wall in her heart slowly.
The Karaoke box building Tendou Sadao’s hiding in has a few pedestrians around.
There’s no break from them.
Oh, the other side is a train station.
The sky is now dark, and so most of them are walking around the streets merrily.
However, the karaoke box has a temporarily closed sign, and the lights on the sign are turned off.
That shop is the only one slightly dark.
For some reason, the street lights in front of the store are also turned off.
It’s a dark area, and so pedestrians naturally steer away from the karaoke box.
Okay, Edie and Tendou-san have gone around! Then, Kinoshita-san, you can start!
Nei gives instructions on the radio she received earlier.
Then.
Dondendondendondendon
Tattakata Tatata! Tatta kata!
The Anjou sisters wearing Shingen clothing shout loudly while heading to the front of the karaoke shop.
They purposely take a few meters distance away from the shop and set their camp.
Oisho!
Korasho!
They put down the wrapping cloth they were carrying on their backs.
Then.
Suddenly, the street lights lit up.
Oh, it’s Shou-neechan.
It’s Kouzuki SS who turned off the lights on purpose.
what?
What are those?
The pedestrians got curious about the strange-looking girls in that place that suddenly lit up.
They gathered the interests of pedestrians.
Yaa, yaa, those who are from afar, come over here
Yaa, yaa, and for those who are close, then watch closely
Err.
The ancient text says nothing ventured, nothing gained
Get in, ranbanbabaranba, ranbabarabara
The sisters hold a three-meter pole like a spear then shouts from the bottom of their lungs.
Watch our skills
And be at awe! Iyaa!
Okay, let’s go
Before anyone noticed, Kinoshita-san from behind the two takes out a big disc-shaped item from their luggage.
I mean, do I call it a disc or.
That’s a porcelain plate, right?
Okay, there we go!
Kinoshita-san throws the plates in mid-air.
Seiya!
Then, Mitama-san catches it with her three-meter pole.
And this one too!
Come at me!
Kinuka-san also catches the plates with the tip of her stick mid-air.
And there we go!
Easy! Easy!
This is.
Plate spinning?
Wow! That’s cool!
These girls are good at this!
Are they recording for a TV show?
The pedestrians stopped and watched the Anjou sisters do their plate spinning trick.
Okay, and the second one!
Kinoshita-san hands over another pole to the sisters.
Here we go!
Okay!
Come at me!
Kinoshita-san throws two plates at the same time.
Then, Anjou sisters catch it with their free poles and spin it.
They’re holding poles at each hand and spinning plates.
They’re skilled
Yeah. I wonder which entertainment group they belong to?
Mitama-san’s a beauty and Kinuka-san’s cute.
It’s weird to see them spin plates.
Although, the two have stiff expressions
They’re still children so it can’t be helped
Yeah, they remain expressionless.
These sisters are.
Meanwhile, the girl throwing plates at them is so charming
Kinoshita-san’s always smiling.
Here, here, here, and we can still go on
She shouted at the spectators.
Eeh, wait? Are you going to use your mouth to spin a third plate?
