It’s a big mistake to say that all Japanese companies have been protected by a national convoy system! In many cases, the bureaucrat’s plan for the country is different from reality. We shoot out to the world by ourselves, or by surpassing the harassments of the country. The development of the country has been greatly contributed by the private sector. It hasn’t changed since then. The young politicians and state bureaucrats these days are trying to reduce our power by keeping all the leadership of the country to themselves but it’s impossible. The private sector is the only group that can fill what the country lacks Jii-chan said.
I’m one of those businessmen and also a member of the nobility. Some entrepreneurs, let’s face it, are traitors. People who only think of their own profits, and don’t care about the country, do exist. However, we’re not like them. The history of the noble families overlaps with the history of this country. We’ll never abandon Japan. We have been here since our ancestors, and we must pass along everything we accepted from our ancestors to the future. We’re such existence and that is why the leaders of the political and business world trust us There are various opinions but they trust that the nobility will always be allied with Japan.
Our existence belongs to the national interest. A visit from the head of the century-old family is welcome in most countries. You can meet people from the high society and have a more in-depth conversation with them compared to a mere state bureaucrat visit I see. If you’re the so-called aristocrat, you can only pay a courtesy call without any substance, but.
But the people who come from the nobility are coming from families with tradition, they’re all managers of big corporations.
Naturally, their conversation has more substance.
Therefore, we’re somewhat allowed to violate the law. The leaders of political and business circles all know that they’ll be in trouble if we’re gone. On the other hand, we never do anything too absurd. We stop by reaching a compromise The corporations take over anything that is out of the state’s control.
The nobility is people on the top of the companies.
And they’re deemed as people who inherit the culture of Japan.
It’s useful when doing negotiations with foreign countries.
Therefore, the country turns a blind eye on the violation of the law.
I see. So that’s why it’s a big problem that the Kurama Kaku is demolished
I muttered.
That’s correct. A member of the nobility who should be keeping the traditional culture destroyed their own home which is filled with historic culture. It affects their faith in the nobility
That is why Jii-chan dismantled and will rebuild the Kurama Kaku somewhere else, even though it’s illegal.
If they lose Kurama Kaku, then there’s no recovering from that.
What’s important is to maintain our value to society. Hence, we are prepared to break the laws. I’ll say it again. Laws and rules are mere tools. I can’t allow it to drag me down and throw away the valuables in our lives Rules.
Listen Torii-kun. Your generation thinks anything goes as long as we’re within the rules. However, you’re relying on the framework of this country. If you go abroad, you’ll see worlds that ignore those rules. There are also times when you have to dare to break the rules. Don’t become someone who lives only within the confines of the rules Jii-chan said.
Who decides the rules? Who’s forcing those rules on others? Do they protect those who strictly follow the rules? Would the rules change someday?
You can’t rely on someone else’s rules.
One has to be stronger, stubborn. Just like him. He never trusts people outside his family at the start. He can’t keep his family safe if he’s not that consistent
Sensing suspicion from people.
People who try to deceive us do stink a lot.
We can never be open to people like them.
The only choice is to fight them.
However, I must take away the lives of those I fought with.
If they come around, they will cause harm to our family out of grudge.
Do you mean that I cannot become a member of the nobility?
Torii-san asks.
After hearing Kouzuki-sama’s story, I can’t help but think about it
She looks down.
You’re right. I’m just a son of an upstart. I couldn’t understand the responsibility of those who are born from the nobility
Jii-chan.
I don’t talk to people who can’t understand. It’s nothing but a waste of time
Huh?
Torii Mariko-kun. Currently, you carry no pride that the nobility carries. However, I think that you may have the potential to become a member
Kouzuki-sama?
You just need to break free from the rules you bind yourself in
Then.
Yoshiko
Yes, Grandfather?
You do understand now, don’t you?
Yoshiko-san?
I do not have the same pride as a member of nobility like Misuzu-sama and Ruriko-sama, don’t I?
That’s right. I know that you worked hard to become a daughter of Kouzuki house for the past half-year but.
I still lack the resolve
That’s right, so, what will you do?
Jii-chan looked at Yoshiko-san.
Yoshiko-san.
I’ll return to being Ruriko-sama’s attendant
I see
And, I will serve Ruriko-sama for the rest of my life
Yoshiko-san will retire from her status as the daughter of Kouzuki house?
And, I too will become Kuromori-sama’s slave
Huh?
Chapter 1004. Noon Sunshine Position Talk
And, I too will become Kuromori-sama’s slave
Yoshiko-san suddenly declares.
So, what will you do?
Jii-chan looked at me with a smile.
I.
Yoshiko-san, you’re mistaken. You’re too hasty. Don’t think like that
I speak strongly.
Kuromori-sama?
Yoshiko-san’s surprised.
Behind her, the Kurama sisters and Torii-san are also surprised.
You see, everyone has a different situation, you must take a look at your situation and act accordingly
I said.
What Jii-chan mentioned earlier, about belonging to the nobility; he doesn’t mean that you need to be all of it. Jii-chan’s status, by that I mean as from someone in the Kouzuki house, the noble of nobilities, and he’s the head of the clan I look straight into Yoshiko-san’s eyes.
If one wants the other party to receive what you tell them, then look in their eyes and not away.
Kouzuki house also has a branch family, right? Yoshiko-san should know that. Like, Kouzuki Souji. Does that guy live the same way Jii-chan just talked about? Do you feel that he’s protecting the nobility? He’s not
That guy thinks of only himself.
Well, although he understands that he needs to keep the Kouzuki house safe for himself.
But, he doesn’t have that seriousness of a head like Jii-chan.
I’m not judging that he’s irresponsible. After all, he’s from a branch family, he doesn’t need to think about leading the Kouzuki house at all
If everyone has the same tension as the head of the family, then it would be awkward.
However, I am Grandfather’s daughter. The daughter of the head house
Yoshiko-san looks at me with a straight face.
Yes. But, you’re different from Misuzu and Ruriko
I speak flatly.
Someone needs to make it clear with Yoshiko-san.
Misuzu and Ruriko is raised as the daughter of the head house, the clan, and all the other nobility watch them as the successors of the Kouzuki house. Meanwhile, Yoshiko-san’s been Ruriko’s attendant, nobody knew that you were Jii-chan’s granddaughter, do they? It’s only been half a year since you’re recognized as the daughter of the head house That’s true, that’s why I am the same as Misuzu-sama and Ruriko-sama.
No, you’re not the same!
I said.
Listen. Yoshiko-san, you sure are Jii-chan’s granddaughter. But, that doesn’t mean that someone thinks that Yoshiko-san will surpass Misuzu or Ruriko with a turnaround homerun and become the successor of the Kouzuki house That’s right.
