Nei smiled.
I keep the pride of the Kaan house safe
That’s just sophism. Momoko-chan hasn’t done anything. Do you not get it?
someone like you will never understand the responsibility those born from nobility carry
And another sophism. So, be specific what’s hard in your life?
that’s.for instance, we must always be polite and be watchful of the people around us to not bring shame to our family
Even those who aren’t from nobility do that! Mothers in any family will tell their children If you don’t get yourself together, they’ll laugh at your mother. Be careful
But, for a family with honor.
Are you stupid? All families have honor! Greengrocers, barbers, salarymen, even farmers, if their children strayed off the path to delinquency and got arrested by police, their usual customers, the people in their neighborhood, the people in the company, they all look coldly at the family and it becomes hard for them! The honor of the family, the company, the neighborhood, it’s all defiled.
Nei said.
Momoko-chan, you need to understand the world outside the nobility! If you just shrug your shoulder at the common sense of the world around you, you won’t be able to see the outside world at all
Misuzu, what’s with her? Make this rude person step back!
Momoko-neechan told Misuzu.
I can’t do that
Misuzu replies.
What? Aren’t you the daughter of the Kouzuki house? If Misuzu won’t do it then Ruriko, have her step back
I can’t do that either
Ruriko smiles.
I wouldn’t speak so rudely to my precious Nei-oneesama
Why? They’re from Kuromori house, aren’t they? If you order them.
Misuzu stops Momoko-neechan.
This sure is the Kouzuki mansion, but we conform to the rules of our family
Nei-oneesama is older than us, and she’s the most respected and loved big sister
Hey now Ruri-chan, I won’t give you anything even if you praise me like that
Nei got bashful.
No. It’s the truth. You always have an unyielding heart
Ruriko tells Nei with a smile.
I’m the guest here. I’m from the Kaan house. Do you think that this treatment of Kouzuki house will end lightly?
Momoko-neechan thought that she can’t push Ruriko so she goes back to Misuzu.
misuzu-sama! Ruriko-sama!
Yoshiko-san who’s sitting next to Momoko-neechan is in a panic.
I mean, that’s not how it goes
Edie who’s grabbing Yamada Umeko-san along with Michi laughed.
Right, Darling?
Yeah.
Kouzuki house is unrelated. Kuromori house owns this room. So, the rules of nobility don’t apply
I told Momoko-neechan.
What do you mean? Are you saying that the Kuromori house is opposing the Kaan house?
Momoko-neechan glares at me.
That depends on Momoko-neechan
I stare back with a smile.
A family from the shadows who can’t exist without the Kouzuki house’s help intends to fight nobility?
I knew she thinks that way.
If anyone tries to harm us, we’ll fight them back, no matter who they are. That’s how we’ve done it and how it will be
Kou-chan, are you serious?
Momoko-neechan’s angry.
Momoko-neechan, I think you should stop putting your bluffs on the table
what?
I.
I’m talking as the representative of the Kuromori house. My decision is the Kuromori house’s decision. If I make the decision, Kuromori house will use all their power to attack Kaan house
That’s right
Edie said.
On the other hand, I know that Momoko-neechan is a member of the Kaan house, but you’re no representative of the Kaan house, are you?
I bring out a card.
Are you sure that you want an all-out war between Kaan and Kuromori house for a stupid reason? That would also involve the Kouzuki and Torii house. If the head of Kaan house asks what’s the cause, what will Momoko-neechan tell him?
You were insulting my honor
Momoko-neechan replies immediately.
Do you think that will be enough? We’ll just reply with Momoko-neechan forced Torii-san to have sex while she’s watching
Momoko-neechan’s startled.
that’s not something you can officially announce. This is the Kouzuki mansion. If people discover that it happened in this place, it’ll cause damage to the Kouzuki house!
I’ll take on that problem. All I have to say is that the Kuromori house keeps it a secret from the Kouzuki house. Kuromori is a house from the shadows after all. We have no problems if we gain infamy
no way.If that happens, Kou-chan and Misuzu can’t be engaged anymore! If that happens, Kuromori house is.
In that case, I’ll just elope with Danna-sama
Misuzu said.
What about me? Oh well, I won’t leave Onii-sama no matter what situation I’m in anyway. If anything happens, Kouzuki can pretend that they cut off Kuromori house and we’ll continue our daily life
Ruriko said.
Misuzu and Ruriko already went through carnage so many times
Edie said.
Unlike Momoko, they don’t carry something big from a high place
Yep. We crawled out of so many messes already! Our resolve and guts are different
Nei smiled.
Momoko-neechan. If we do something, we make sure that it’s done. We don’t hold back. We carry through until the other party is done. Letting them go means that they can come back for revenge. We make sure that the enemy has no more strength to oppose us If you think that you can threaten me with that then you’re mistaken
Momoko-neechan says while trembling.
Threat? Why would I threaten Momoko-neechan? This is an ultimatum
I said.
Momoko-neechan should’ve received the report too but let me remind you, last night, I ordered the Takakura shrine maidens to turn dozens of Yakuza crazy and sent them back to Kansai. Half of them surrendered to the police but half of them died from a shoot-out. I gave those orders Kou-chan?
The Kansai Yakuza turned the students in Misuzu and Ruriko’s school as their targets. It’s as you have seen from the party yesterday. We had to show a much horrible retaliation to make sure that they don’t do it again. That’s why Momoko, can you do the same? You say that you carry a heavy responsibility for your family but, can you send people to their deaths for the sake of your family?
Edie asked.
That’s.
Momoko-neechan looked down.
that’s not something for me to do
Yes. This dirty job isn’t for someone with Momoko-neechan’s status to do. Of course, that includes Misuzu and Ruriko
I.
So I’m doing it. It’s my job
Cleaning the filth.
We’re family after all. Someone’s got to do it
It’s not about money. We’re no servants of Kouzuki house after all
Misuzu, Ruriko, Jii-chan.
Then, I looked at Yoshiko-san.
And Yoshiko-san are all my precious family
Kuromori-sama?
Yoshiko-san speaks out unconsciously.
Nobility has nothing to do with me. I couldn’t care less about it. I just want to make my family happy. To make that happen, I’ll use even the nobility for that, but it doesn’t mean that I need them. If it has to turn to a fight, then we’ll fight even nobility, and we’ll make sure to win. If we don’t surpass them, then it’ll only hurt my family. That’s why we can’t lose Then.
That is the head of the family
Torii-san speaks to me.
Kuromori-sama already lives as the head of the family
Err.
No, Minaho-neesan’s the head of the family
But, Minaho-oneesan’s training Yo-chan to become the next head of the family. That’s why she’s letting Yo-chan take care of the hard stuff now
Nei said.
I think Mariko-chan doesn’t get why Yo-chan had to go to the place to deal with the Yakuza but, that was training. If you want a serious training for someone, then give them the hardest experience
Indeed
Torii-san mutters.
I thought that Kuromori-sama is being made light of but it seems that it’s the opposite
Huh?
Oh right.
If we use the senses of the young ladies, only grunts go to places of danger.
