Is because my grandfather told me to figure out what kind of a person Matsumoto Hiroki is on his behalf ?
Ruriko speaks to Elder Matsumoto.
That she’s Jii-chan’s proxy.
And from how I see it, I can regretfully tell Grandfather that Matsumoto Hiroki was a narrow-minded man
Ruriko speaks calmly.
are you trying to threaten me?
Elder Matsumoto’s shaken.
That’s exactly it
Mariko said.
Ruriko-sama’s saying that you’re that small and narrow-minded, and you just showed us an example !
Elder Matsumoto falters.
Still, I’ve been listening for a while, and there’s something I just don’t understand. Kou, why is it that Matsumoto-sama’s so adamantly opposed to Maki-san and Miki-san continuing their music studies?
Mariko looks at me.
The experts at Kouzuki world cultural exchange center, have already recognized their talents that they’ll give them a special scholarship, Maki-san’s mother even says Thank you, please take care of them That just means that their talent is highly appreciated Relatives would normally be happy to have their daughters highly evaluated. And yet, he’s just absolutely against it. He’s so against them studying music that I don’t get it
I.
It’s because he doesn’t understand
I look at Elder Matsumoto and replied.
Matsumoto-san doesn’t understand music. He can’t understand the musical talents of Maki-san and Miki-san. Therefore, he can’t understand, he can’t accept it either That’s why he’s stopping them from pursuing music. Isn’t that just too selfish? Just because he doesn’t understand, he’s not letting Maki-san and Miki-san decide their lives
Mariko speaks honestly, and she can’t hide her anger at elder Matsumoto.
But.
I don’t think that’s all
I think.
After his conversation with Kyouko-san (Chemin Koda).
I’m able to observe elder Matsumoto objectively.
He’s scared of what he doesn’t know. Scared? Matsumoto-san actually wants to be on good terms with Maki-san and Miki-san. But, he doesn’t understand music. He doesn’t feel comfortable that his granddaughters are living a life on their own, and he’s afraid that he can’t have a common topic to talk about with his granddaughters. That’s why he’s scared That’s why. But if he takes them away from music, he can have a conversation in the world he understands. It’s that simple
Besides.
If I recall, Matsumoto-san wants Maki-san to quit music high school, move to an ordinary school, become a pharmacist, or open a drugstore, because, he wants to talk to his granddaughter about topics he has a lot to tell. He wants to be the teacher, the one above. Wanting to talk to each other while having a common ground Elder Matsumoto wants Maki-san and Miki-san to stop their studies in music. What’s with that? That’s too narrow-minded!
Mariko faced elder Matsumoto with a disgusted look.
1426. Next Mission Music Release what about you? Do you enjoy tormenting me like this?
Elder Matsumoto glares at us.
You’re just a kid who knows nothing about hard work, I started a small pharmacy alone, and now I have expanded it to 1500 stores all over the country
He talks about this in this place, but.
That’s all he can talk about.
I’ve gone through such hardships that many of you could never imagine! I’ve been betrayed, deceived, and gone through crisis, and almost gone bankrupt so many times. But I overcame all those hardships!
Elder Matsumoto speaks desperately, but we only look at him with cold eyes.
What I’m doing is real work! I fight against reality, and established my standing through blood and sweat! Music is different from risky business! I don’t understand what you’re trying to say
Kyouko-san, disguised as Chemin Koda, mocks him.
Of course people like you who cling go the power of the nobility will never understand. I’m Matsumoto Hiroki! I live standing on this earth with my own power, I’m not like you Elder Matsumoto rants. You’ll never understand my life that’s filled with hardships!
Err.
I don’t understand, and it’s not like I want to understand either
I said.
Nobody can understand everything about a single person’s life, just as Matsumoto-san doesn’t understand mine or Ruriko’s life Obviously! Lives of rich people’s sons or daughters are none of my business! But at least we do make an effort to understand the people we interact with. No matter who it is
I looked at Shou-neechan.
Do we have the papers on Matsumoto from Kouzuki SS? Of course, we did our investigation
Shou-neechan smiles.
First, tell me how Matsumoto-san started his pharmacy business Yes
Shou-neechan pulls her tablet and reads her report.
She had it all memorized, but when in front of people like Matsumoto-san, then it’s the style of Kouzuki SS to read out the report formally.
Matusmoto Hiroki-sama, full name, Matusmoto Hirokichi. Born in Oita prefecture. After graduating from middle school, he moved to Tokyo in a group employment, graduating from night high school while working at a pharmaceutical factory. He gained scholarship from the pharmaceutical company and went to Asano university in their college of pharmacy Oh look, you also got scholarship
Mariko points out.
After graduating, he joined the pharmaceutical company who gave him the scholarship, but left after four years due to poor interpersonal relationships within the family. With the help of relatives from his hometown, he opened his first store named ‘Kusuri no Matsushita Hiroki’ in 1975
Shou-neechan reads elder Matsumoto’s past.
I want to hear what’s next Yes. After his arrannged marriage in 1977, with the help of his wife’s family, he opened his second pharmacy in 1981. The chain grew to an urban drugstore expanding to 300 stores in Japan by 1988 as they ride the boom of the bubble economy. By 1998, they reached 500 stores, and listed in the first section of the Tokyo stock exchange. Currently, they have expanded their business to 1500 branches. That’s all I. Receiving help from scholarships, from relatives, from his wife’s family, and even when you were expanding your store, you received help from a lot of people, haven’t you?
It wasn’t as elder Matsumoto said, he didn’t grow the drugstore chain by himself.
He always had help from someone.
That’s.
Elder Matsumoto falters.
That’s also included in the report. All of Matsumoto-sama’s circles, and the people who supported him, all of it
Shou-neechan said.
Elder Matsumoto’s company is so big that it’s usually included in the Kouzuki SS surveys.
I also know Matsumoto-sama’s backers from the other side
Minaho-neesan said and laughed.
Elder Matsumoto came here because Minaho-neesan invited him.
Minaho-neesan holds information to be a middleman.
Matsumoto-san also received help from others, so why do you say that it’s wrong for Matsumoto Maki-san, and Miki-san to receive help from the Kouzuki world cultural exchange center as scholarship recipients? How can being a scholar and receiving help be a bad thing?
I asked.
No, I received scholarship when I was younger, and the Kouzuki house’s scholarship is. What’s the difference? Both of them are aid to those who are young and have dreams and talents. Matsumoto-san’s grades in night high school was good, and they see that you desire to study more, thus, they gave you scholarship, didn’t they? When you opened up your store, your relatives must’ve lent you money because they wanted to help Matsumoto-san’s dream, didn’t they?
One can’t survive by themselves.
Someone’s always helping you no matter when.
Maki-san and Miki-san are the same. They can become scholarship students because their musical talent is recognized. They’re just like you, Matsumoto-san No, they’re not!
