This discussion will be under the presence of Erica-san’s current guardian, the lawyer. The judicial affairs people from the Kouzuki house will be present as well. The lawyers of both parties will draw up a legally binding force based on the result of the conversation. And, there will be a check to make sure that the same thing doesn’t happen again. That’s my second request Ruriko said. He could show a good face to us and then try to take away Anna-san’s inheritance soon after. Legal papers should be able to tie him down.
The third is that Erica-san shows no consent in the engagement. Therefore, please void it, so that the engagement talks never happened. That’s all three
Those are some strict conditions Anna-san’s father mutters.
Really? I believe that Anna-sama’s demands for Erica-san are much more unreasonable Ruriko calmly says.
Anyway, if I accept the three conditions, you will return Erica?
Oh? Please don’t say something so scandalous. You make it sound like we’re kidnapping Erica-san
You’re right. Erica ran away from home out of her own volition Anna-san’s father speaks gloomy.
Yes. Erica-san will not return home until you accomplish the three requests
I understand. I accept all three conditions
Thank you. The discussion with Erica-san will be held in the Kouzuki group’s hotel tonight. We will contact you as soon as the location is decided Of course, we don’t trust Anna-san’s father at all. Therefore, we’re choosing the location where Kouzuki SS can move freely, which would be a hotel of the Kouzuki house.
Tonight? Anna-san’s father is surprised.
Oh? I believe you don’t want to prolong Erica-san’s escape from her home?
No, Ruriko-sama’s right
Will your lawyers be able to attend?
I’ll ask them so they could come tonight Anna-san’s father replied. Then.
Ah, please wait! Ruriko, give me the phone Momoko-neechan said in a hurry. Ruriko gives the phone to her.
This is Kaan Momoko. Anna-sama, I have something I have to ask by all means! Something she has to ask Anna-san’s father.
What is it?
I would like to ask why is Erica-san engaged to that person? Momoko-neechan asks, filled with curiosity.
Why did you choose someone, after reviewing your standards, to choose Madohori Tadashi-san as your 14-year-old daughter’s fiance? If Momoko-neechan goes that far, then that Mad Hori man must be a really weird person. Anna-san’s father.
I do not understand my daughter He speaks in a depressed tone.
What Erica’s thinking, doing.even I, her father, don’t understand it Anna-san hears her father’s voice quietly.
Therefore, I thought that Madohori-kun. That man is smart despite young, so I thought that he might understand Erica
Oh, I see. Thank you for your input Momoko-neechan said. Then she gave back the phone to Shou-neechan.
This is Seki. We will notify you once the meeting place is decided
I understand. Then I will be waiting for your call Then, she ends the call.
Haa, that was surprising. To think that men on Anna-san’s generation call Mad Hori as an intelligent young man
It shocks me too. As expected of the man overly conscious of how the old men view him Momoko-neechan and Mariko are getting fired up talking about Anna-san’s fiance. Madohori Tadashi.
Shou-neechan, what’s Anna-san’s father’s relationship with the other side? I asked. He likely accepted the negotiations but he’s going to forcibly take Anna-san back by using his connections to the other side.
He’s doing auditor work, and so he should have some acquaintances, but, he hasn’t used them proactively. If he started loaning from the other side, it’ll affect his business Shou-neechan said.
I checked them just in case, but I don’t think there would be any of them that dare to confront Kouzuki SS. That is as of now Yeah, they specialize in auditing large enterprises after all. They should know fear when it comes to the Kouzuki house or Kouzuki SS.
Right. As of now.anyway, he thinks that he managed to deceive us, and he can manage as soon as he takes back Anna-san
I believe so too Misuzu nods.
I don’t want to go back! Anna-san?
I don’t want to meet Father! The call ended, and so the thread of her tension is also cut off. Now she’s shouting loudly.
It depends on Anna-san what happens. We’re just doing what Anna-san wished for
but, giving me to my father!
It’s just a means to an end. Anyway, if we don’t meet him, there will be a lot we don’t know I said.
Anyway, you have to face your reality upfront. If not, everything will remain unknown
i don’t mind staying ignorant to it! Anna-san said.
Can’t let that happen. Never. It’s better if you know, it’s Anna-san’s family after all
Yes. Erica-san doesn’t know about her father or her late Grandfather Ruriko said.
Yes. I don’t like how your father gave up saying I don’t understand my daughter, but, Anna-san too, you might not understand your father either Momoko-neechan told Anna-san.
i. Anna-san fell silent. I.
It’s okay. We got this. It’s the usual thing for us
Seriously, it’s always a lot of trouble every time, Yo-chan Nei laughs.
Oh? Kou-chan? You do something this fun all the time? Momoko-neechan asks smiling.
It’s nothing fun. It’s human lives on the line here, so we take it seriously. I replied.
Then, I’ll make arrangements to the hotel where the discussion with Anna-san will be held Shou-neechan looks at the watch in the dining room. It’s six in the evening already.
It’s going to be 8:30 to 9 PM. If the lawyer from the other side is coming, that would be the time
Yeah. Get that in the schedule, Shou-neechan I asked her.
Okay. Ruriko-sama, is the Kouzuki Grand Hotel good as the venue?
I’ll let Shou-oneesama decide Ruriko replies.
Certainly Seems like Shou-neechan decided that way since it’s the easiest hotel to keep bodyguards in.
A city center hotel? I asked Shou-neechan.
It’s more of a bay coast than the city center. It’ll take 45 minutes of driving to arrive there Then that means, we still have time. I mean, I’m worried that we might depart right after dinner.
Katsuko-nee, there’s still time before dinner, right? I shout to the kitchen. Katsuko-nee just came home, and since we have a lot of people in the family, it’ll take time to prep the meal.
Yes, even if I hurry, it’ll still take 40 minutes
Everyone’s helping out so we’ll be finished sooner Katsuko-nee and Mana show up from the kitchen and said.
You don’t have to rush it! Take it easy I said.
Then, Anna-san, why don’t we begin before dinner? I tell her with a smile.
What? Anna-san’s looking blankly.
Your training. Training Right, now, Anna-san.
Anna-san, you’re interested in training, weren’t you? Didn’t you say that earlier?
That’s true, but. Anna-san’s confused.
now? What?
Yeah, let’s do it while we have time! Besides, it takes time to do this
but.
Huh? Were you lying when you said that you were interested in sex, rape, and training? I purposely speak sadistically.
i’m not lying! I’m not! Anna-san;
but, is it okay to do it?
Obviously it is. No, I said that it is so it’s okay The truth is before she could talk to her father. I want to ask out what’s the actual inheritance her Grandfather left her. But, this girl won’t answer it when I do frontal attacks.
Hey, hey, Sebastianus! You need to get trained together with Erica-san! Momoko-neechan told Yamada Umeko-san.
yes, uhm, if possible, I’d like the same too Yamada Umeko-san seems to have a firm resolve that I will violate her.
Then, Onii-sama, shall we get to a room above? Ruriko smiles.
Yeah, the SM room I replied with a purposefully loud voice. It’s to shock Anna-san.
My, that seems fun! Of course, I’m watching!
