Minaho-neesan then goes back to me.
You don’t have any significant information that can make an impact on Matsumoto-san. But, I do know the names of people who may have that kind of information
So we’re going to use that name to reel him?
Yes. I’ll let him know that I have a good deal for the Matsushita chain. Saying that it’ll be beneficial for Matsumoto-san’s corporate group to know that information, and it would create significant damage if they remain ignorant Minaho-neesan.
For example, I can tell them that a well-selling drug from a certain pharmaceutical manufacturer that Matsumoto-san’s chain sells actually has a major problem and major side effects. However, it’s kept under the wraps by the political and business circles. If I tell him that he can find out what drug it is before the information is leaked to the press, I’m sure he’ll be on board But, the Matsushita drugstore just sells regular medicine, right? I don’t think that a pharmaceutical scandal would affect the chain that much
Mariko rebuts.
It would be the manufacturer’s responsibility. Matsumoto-san would just be a victim as he only trusted the manufacturer to put the product on the store shelves
Minaho-neesan laughs.
Mariko-san, you don’t understand the mindset of company owners like Matsumoto-san. Matsumoto-san grew the drugstore chain in his generation, see? A manager like that would want to know everything about the drugs sold in his store. And I’m assuming that he’s a licensed pharmacist, right?
Yes, Grandfather graduated with a pharmacy degree and he has a license
Matsumoto Maki-san replies.
Someone like him would feel responsible for every drug he sells in his store. So, he would want the information saying that this or that drug is dangerous. and if he removes it from the store before the media went public with it, then he could use it as an advertisement, saying that he knew that the drug was dangerous. He could brag to the other owners that he knew about it before others So it’s about pride?
Mariko’s shocked.
It’s important to have a sense of superiority if you’re a rising business owner
I see.
I’m from the other side, and I’m quite famous there. If Matsumoto-san does a little research, he’ll figure out who I am. And, it becomes a position where he can gather information from our side Minaho-neesan’s an owner of a brothel that serves the big names in politics and business.
If he continues to doubt me, then I can just bring a big name from the pharmacy industry that Matsumoto-san knows. I can tell him that they’re my client and that the big name told me the story, then Matsumoto-san will believe me. Then, I’ll ask him to come to the hotel so I can give the name of the specific manufacturer and the name of the drug in detail, Matsumoto-san will come over But, would the company owner come by himself?
Mariko continues to argue further, but.
He will. We’re not a company like the Kouzuki or Kaan group, or your family’s Torii Electronics. As a business owner, he thinks that he guides the company he grew himself, so he’ll come. He won’t leave it to others. Well, he’ll bring a couple of secretaries, but we’re only interested in meeting the man himself And as long as we can meet him, we can just change his mind using the Miko power.
So he doesn’t try to take control of his granddaughters again.
We’ll use the hotel in front of the station. That’s one of the hotels that Kouzuki group doesn’t use
Right, we’re cleaning this up as the Kuromori house.
Then, I’ll make the call, give me the number. Don’t worry, the phone here is a secure line, and I won’t tell Matsumoto-san where I got the number from
Minaho-neesan told the sisters.
Then, we’re going back to the mansion for now. Matsumoto-san can come too. That’s for the better, right?
Right, I told them that they can have dinner at our place, but.
The Matsumoto siblings should see our family as soon as possible.
Marika-san and Erica-san, you don’t mind going back to the mansion with us, right?
Yes, thank you
I’ll take care of Matsumoto-san so she doesn’t worry
Marika and Erica replied.
Then, I’ll return to the mansion too. There’s Matsumoto-san and the girls, but Minaho-san, can you let me watch your call with their grandfather?
Mariko wants to spectate as Minaho-neesan does her schemes.
I don’t mind, as long as you don’t get in the way
I won’t obstruct! I’m only observing for future reference!
Mariko smiles in excitement.
In that case, the remaining group would be me, my bodyguard, Kurose Anju, and.
Everyone, Igarashi-san’s ready now
Tsukiko brings back Igarashi Izumifrom to the open door to the basement.
uhm
Igarashi Izumi put on makeup badly and deliberately ruffled her hair.
She’s still wearing her black leather jacket, but.
Oh? You’re actually a cute girl
Mariko’s right, now that she dropped her makeup, she looks like a cute first-year high school girl.
Ugh, uu
Her eyes turn moist out of embarrassment
Igarashi-san will accompany Kou-sama and me
Tsukiko said.
Huh? But I’m.
Igarashi-san looks at Matsumoto Maki-san who she admires, but.
You can meet with Matsumoto-san later
Right, we should pull Igarashi-san and Matsumoto Maki-san apart for now.
Igarashi-san’s jealous of Maki-san and Marika, that she might react violently.
We need Matsumoto-san and her sister to take a good look at our family.
Besides, Kou-sama has heard Matsumoto-san’s performance, but has yet to see Igarashi-san sing
Igarashi Izumi’s song.
Oh right, I recall that this girl was studying vocal music in the same high school as Marika and Maki-san.
Right, then let’s hear it
I’m interested.
Earlier, she looked like a fake delinquent, but now.
But if she’s a cute girl, I’d like to hear her sing.
Right, while at it.
As soon as I came up with another idea, I noticed that I forgot something.
Oh shit.
I look at the clock and it’s already 2:51!
Oh, this is bad. I have to swap with Ya-chan already!
I have to ask Nei to be the host of Edie’s school swimsuit judo tournament before 3.
I have to meet with Nei in the bakery!
This is bad
I have to meet with Nei in nine minutes, and Nei has to get to the ring in the schoolyard in time for the broadcast to start. There’s no time.
Then.
Geez, you’re late, Yo-chan!
Nei’s voice comes from the speakers on the wall.
I’ll open the door
Minaho-neesan unlocks the door to the principal’s office, and then.
Nei and Mitama were on the other side.
Yo-chan, you’re being late so I came here instead! Silly
sorry, Ya-chan
I apologized.
I’m sorry, I took too much of Kou-kun’s time
Marika bows to Nei, but.
Don’t mind it, Jasmine-chan’s a member of the family, so you can rely on Yo-chan when you need him, but.
Nei comes over and hugs me tightly.
Yo-chan Do you think I can do the host role?
Oh, she’s worried as expected.
So, she met with me right at the last minute.
Ya-chan’s going to be fine
I also hugged Nei’s voluptuous body.
I’m looking forward to it. I’m excited to tell the people in Japan that my big sister’s so beautiful, so wonderful!
Yo-chan
I can’t watch over Ya-chan nearby, but I’ll be watching from the bakery. You’ll be fine
Okay, but.
Nei’s worried.
Don’t worry, just be the usual Natou Nei on-screen
I said.
It doesn’t matter if it’s the TV or whatever, you’ll be fine as long as you’re Natou Nei, right?
Natou Nei’s the personality Najima Yasuko created modeled from Kyouko-san.
I’m the only one who knows the real Ya-chan
She only shows her real personality when it’s just us two.
Nei can remain as the Natou Nei in the family.
