Kouzuki-sama entrusted the management of the group to Shiba-san, so he seems to have a bit more time. Therefore, he thought of starting an investment management teaching classroom to those unrelated to the house
Oh, I guess that should be okay.
Kou, can I do it?
Mariko asks me.
I think you can. Aren’t you interested in it?
Yes
Mariko nodded.
However, Kouzuki-sama mentioned that those who want to invest in his hands-on guidance in investment will need to pay with money they earned themselves
Minaho-neesan said.
My own?
Yes. If you don’t use money that you earned then you won’t learn
But I.
Mariko, the young lady of Torii electronics never earned money from partime work or anything.
With that in mind, what do you think she should do, Kou?
Minaho-neesan asked me.
Err.
My bakery.
No, that’s conducted in our school.
I can’t let Mariko, a student at a high-class school help me out there.
Besides, it doesn’t even make a profit that it could make Mariko earn from a partime job.
If that’s the case.
Nagisa seems to be recruiting another partimer in her flower shop
Minaho-neesan smiles.
Oh, they already talked about it.
Mariko, do you like flowers?
Huh? Well yes, I do.
If that’s the case.
Mariko, work a side-job at a flower shop. Well, it’s not a weird shop at all. All the employees are women
Nagisa’s flower shop, if you ask me, it’s a high-class one.
You need to learn the economic system before learning about investment
Minaho-neesan said.
Knowing the labor cost and expenses of stocking, manufacturing, and sales. You need to earn some degree of profit from the cost price. Most goods have to be lost because of the lack of sales. See the live reaction of customers. Working in an adult’s store will let you learn a lot. You’ll never understand those from staring at the numbers on the screen Practicing and experiencing management at the place itself will train Mariko nicely.
That’s Jii-chan’s conclusion.
The flower shop is Mao-chan’s mother’s shop! Mariko-chan, you already met her during dinner earlier
Agnes explains.
She’s one of my women. So, Mariko’s not just going to work for her but you should be able to study there too. I’ll ask her to do so
You don’t have to worry about it
Kouzuki-sama will talk to Torii-sama. It’s okay. Nagisa’s shop has a high reputation. There shouldn’t be any problems
I said. Mariko;
I understand. Then, I will study in that place
She replies energetically.
I need to learn how to work for myself instead of letting my house keep me safe
Mariko shows such a clear face. Momoko-neechan looks at her in frustration.
Also, another word from Kouzuki-sama.
Minaho-neesan said.
Being born from nobility is the same as being born from a family of traditional art
Traditional art?
They inherit from their ancestors and want to pass it off to their descendants. But, that’s not an obligation
The daughters of the nobility.
Momoko-neechan, Misuzu, Ruriko, then Yoshiko-san, they all listen as Minaho-neesan narrates what Jii-chan said.
Maybe someone has to keep it safe and pass it on but it’s not a ‘duty’ nor an ‘obligation’. Those who received it to keep it safe aren’t better. They had no choice in their life but that
Oh.
Those born in the traditional arts family don’t need to succeed in the family.
They do have the right to refuse.
And those who are determined to succeed aren’t better than those who don’t.
Just like nobility.
Furthermore, just because you have resolved to succeed the house doesn’t mean that you don’t need any effort nor talent
Effort and Talent.
If a person with no talent, no effort inherits the house, it’ll only fall to ruin. Just like how it happened with the Kurama house
Kurama house, Misato-san and Arisu’s father, the current head of the family.
He was deceived by foreign investors and lost all his assets.
Therefore, true nobility choose their successors. They don’t pick the eldest son because he’s there. If there’s only one child, then you can gather vassals as support. A talented child from the side could be adopted for the cause Minaho-neesan said.
That’s also similar to traditional arts families. It’s not hereditary from the parent and child. Sometimes, they make up with people with the skill of their blood to continue. The old blood reaches its limits
I see.
Meaning, it’s a big mistake to think that you can inherit the family that easily because you’re born in it. Nobility and traditional arts families carry responsibility for people around them
The weight of the family.
In fact, Kurama house’s hotels and traditional inns are in trouble.
Jii-chan and Kaan house will try to purchase establishments with history but.
Many people will lose their jobs.
Therefore, Kurama Arisu had to become my slave and Misato-san had to become a prostitute.
The people below and other noble families won’t consent unless the head family is punished.
Therefore, it’s a mistake to think that just because you’re born from nobility, you also carry something, that you have to do something someday. You’re still children, you can’t do anything for the family, and children have no obligation to bear responsibility. All you had to do is live your life without bringing any shame to the family Minaho-neesan said.
That’s referring to me, isn’t it?
Yoshiko-san speaks up heavily.
Yes. Although, it’s not me talking but Kouzuki-sama
Minaho-neesan affirmed.
Just because you’re the daughter of the Kouzuki house doesn’t mean that Yoshiko-san has to do something right now. Also.
Minaho-neesan looked at me.
Yoshiko-san, you don’t need to have sex with Kou to become the same as Misuzu-san and Ruriko-san
That’s.
You have no obligation to do that, Yoshiko-san
Yoshiko-san fell silent.
It will only hurt you if you insist on thinking that you have to do this, you have to become that. Despite not needing it
Then.
I don’t understand it. Just, what do I do? Just what is best to do?
Yoshiko-san looked at me.
Rather, I prefer to have someone order me to do something
I.
No, I won’t give any orders to Yoshiko-san
I get up from the mattress and speak to Yoshiko-san.
No matter how painful it is, Yoshiko-san made that decision
But, I don’t even know what do I do. In truth, I don’t even know if I want to have sex with Kuromori-sama
Oh, I see.
Right. Yoshiko-san always leads me to violate you. Thinking about it now, that’s how it’s been
She can’t decide.
She’s entrusting the choice to me.
I think so too. I truly don’t know.
Yoshiko-san looked down.
I’m recognized as the daughter of Kouzuki house and so I might be married off to another family to strengthen Kouzuki house’s ties with them. If that happens, I should keep my purity.
The have to talk again.
If Grandfather seeks harmony between Misuzu-sama, Ruriko-sama, and me, I think that I should do it with Kuromori-sama
And another obligation
But, recently, I don’t even understand what Grandfather wants from me
Oh, Jii-chan’s cold to Yoshiko-san recently.
Jii-chan don’t want anything from you
I said.
What Jii-chan wants to know is what Yoshiko-san wants to do
i.
Yoshiko-san hesitates.
Here’s one thing I understand.
I looked at Yoshiko-san.
Yoshiok-san don’t want to have sex with me
that’s not true! I.I truly don’t know, Kuromori-sama is.
No, that’s the fact, Yoshiko-san
I.
I mean, we only know each other for half a year
It’s been half a year since we met in the theater during the holidays in May.
If Yoshiko-san wants to have sex with me, then we’ve already done it long ago
