Chapter 723.: 723.
「 I don’t think Grandfather needs a prostitute nowadays 」
Yoshiko-san said .
「 Grandfather is already old 」
Jii-chan’s 82-years-old this year .
He’s showing off that his sexual desire is strong even at his old age, but in reality, his body can’t have sex anymore .
Only Minaho-neesan and the former prostitutes like Katsuko-nee knows that fact .
「 I think that he needs someone who soothes his mind more than physical pleasure 」
Yoshiko-san said . Misuzu, Ruriko, and Michi listens .
「 We have a lot of lively girls in here . I believe that it would be better for Grandfather if he watches over the growth of little girls than playing with prostitutes instead 」
Watching over the growth?
「 Indeed . Grandfather might be happier if there are young and lively girls with him like Mao-chan and Agnes, instead of dazzling prostitutes 」
Misuzu nods .
「 To be honest, after Ruriko-sama has moved to this mansion, Grandfather looked a bit sad, days where he shows a gloomy face has become more frequent . I don’t think I can fill in for Ruriko-sama no matter what 」
Ruriko’s got the same face as Jii-chan’s first love .
He holds more than love for his granddaughter .
That’s why he sold Ruriko to me .
He feels sorry to keep Ruriko under his control and in isolation .
Above all of that, with Jii-chan’s old body, it’s impossible for him to have sex with Ruriko anymore .
And so, to give up on his evil love,
「 Is that so? He’s never shown such a face in front of us before 」
Ruriko sighs .
「 As usual, the Kouzuki mansion is lonely . It’s just Grandfather and me in the dining table . Having lunch in this mansion is lively and fun . That’s why I thought of bringing Grandfather here 」
Yoshiko-san said .
「 But, this is a brothel though 」
I tell Yoshiko-san .
「 If Jii-chan’s visiting regularly then we can convince the Kouzuki house and the executives from the group that he’s doing it out of his hobbies, but, 」
Jii-chan is quite the ladies’ man, after all .
He frequented the brothel when he was young after all .
「 But, if he were to live in the brothel, then 」
Will they accept that he’ll live and stay here?
Kouzuki group?
Or maybe, the society he’s around with .
「 I think it’s possible to manage it 」
Misuzu replies .
「 Grandfather has already ruled his descend from the throne of the group, and he will let Shiba-san run the management . The formal takeover will be held at the general meeting of shareholders, but everyone already knows that Grandfather would be retiring 」
「 Indeed . The group will remain as they are and since the head of Kouzuki house won’t change, I think that his influence on the group will continue in the future, but he no longer needs to go to work every day, and he can live a relaxed life 」
Ruriko said .
As he’s entrusted the management to Shiba-san, Jii-chan’s personality won’t make him say anything extra .
「 Yes . It can be a personal investment, but he won’t be steering the whole group anymore 」
「 No, Misuzu, sure, Jii-chan’s retiring and is now free, I understand that . But I don’t think that he can live in a brothel even with that reasoning 」
This isn’t a place for an 82-year-old man to live in .
「 Well, that’s where Grandfather’s whims come in 」
Misuzu smiles .
「 In Kouzuki Shigetaka’s life, he’s never made an odd choice . The legend of Tiberius’ Capri island does exist after all 」
「 What’s that? 」
「 There was a legend about the Roman Emperor, Tiberius going off to a secluded island on Capri, and it is said that he’s enjoyed himself with indecent acts every day by collecting boys and girls 」
So that kind of person exists too .
「 The legend now has a strong theory that it’s a story creation of Suetonius but, if it’s that Kouzuki Shigetaka, then maybe he could carry out that kind of secluded life…or so the thoughts of the others would be . As long as they know Grandfather well 」
I see . If it’s Jii-chan, people could think that he could do anything more than choosing a brothel as a place of residence after retirement .
「 But, even if Jii-chan manages to do something… 」
I look at Minaho-neesan .
Minaho-neesan’s meeting is on a break before I noticed it .
They’re listening to our conversation .
Our talk is about the foundation of Kouzuki house and Kuromori after all .
「 Indeed . If Kakka were to live here then, it would be impossible for the brothel to continue activities as usual 」
Shou-neechan said .
「 It would need to have all the customers have a close relationship with Kouzuki house . Some could pretend to be customers of the brothel and try to talk to Kakka directly 」
That’s right .
As this will reopen, there will be various customers . There’d be some who are against the Kouzuki group’s business .
With Jii-chan here, those customers won’t come anymore .
「 Indeed . I plan to cooperate with Kouzuki-sama . I can accept him as a customer, but I won’t allow ourselves to become subordinates of Kouzuki house 」
Minaho-neesan smiles .
If Jii-chan lives here, people would think that he has Kuromori under his control .
That’s bad .
「 However, I don’t have any intention of reopening the brothel at this mansion . As I said before, I plan on doing business in the underground facility in the hotel in front of the station 」
Kuromori has a secret playroom in the basement of the hotel in front of the station .
I’ve been there once .
「 Either way, the plan is to resume only for five years . We only have to satisfy the customers for now, and we have no intention of expanding our business . Our facilities here and there are enough 」
Minaho-neesan said .
「 I’ve also said before that I don’t want to raise Agnes and the young girls in a place where prostitutes are doing business . That is why I want to get out of here as soon as possible, but there’s no place with a fully equipped defense system like this house, is there? 」
We’re under the eyes of various enemies .
The police are still following us due to Kyouko-san’s case .
Misuzu and Ruriko always need bodyguards, as there’s the possibility of them being abducted all the time .
「 Katsuko and Nagisa are already planning to build a multi-floor building . 」 Margo and I are both investing in it too 」
A building with Katsuko-nee’s bakery and Nagisa’s shop together in it .
And then, the upper floors will be our living quarters .
The plan is for the whole family to move in there .
「 However, it’ll take several years to complete that building with a perfect defense system in it . We’d like to finish it by the time Yoshinobu graduates, but, But if that’s the case, we still have to use this mansion for at least two and a half years, right? 」
Yeah, if it’s until I graduate, then,
We’ll continue living in this mansion for a while .
「 Therefore, I don’t intend on opening the brothel here but instead over there 」
I see .
「 If that’s the case, Minaho-oneesama 」
Ruriko speaks .
「 Could you sell this mansion? 」
Huh?
「 This is a memorable place during the youth of Kouzuki Shigetaka . Therefore, I think he’d want to live in here after his retirement . It doesn’t sound strange 」
「 indeed, in fact, when Grandfather was young, this mansion wasn’t just a brothel but also a secret social club for the influential people in political and business circles 」
Misuzu nods .
Minaho-neesan’s grandfather, Kuromori Kounosuke, opened this place as Kuromori tower .
「 This brothel hasn’t been open for almost a year . We can say that Grandfather bought this residence out of the nostalgia of the old building 」
「 Oh, you mean that I’ll be using the capital from selling this mansion to Kouzuki-sama and reopen the brothel? 」
「 If you’d like, it can also be an exchange for a real estate owned by Kouzuki family . I think that it’s more real 」
Misuzu said .
「 Indeed . If Kuromori opens up a new shop, then we’re likely letting go of this mansion . It may be a building with lots of memories for the old customers, but there are also memories of Shirasaka Sousuke in here 」
Shirasaka Sousuke took over Kuromori over 15-years ago .
Now that Shiraaska Sousuke’s gone,
It won’t sound strange if Minaho-neesan and the remaining prostitutes want to resume their operations on a new location .
The customers know that Minaho-neesan herself was a victim of Shirasaka Sousuke .
「 Grandfather purchases this mansion and then he’ll gift this to me . If the deed is mine then even if anything were to happen to Grandfather, nobody can take away this mansion 」
Ruriko said .
So the plan is to make it Ruriko’s property before the inheritance?
「 And I will return it to Minaho-oneesama in the end 」
Ruriko?
「 Ruriko knows that to Minaho-oneesama, this mansion is an important place . However, please think about the idea of selling it and changing the name of this mansion . Grandfather can live here in peace and eventually when he no longer needs this house, we can always return it to Minaho-oneesama . Would you please lend this house to us for a while?
Jii-chan is 82 already .
He’ll die someday .
He might even skip hospitalization .
Once that happens, Ruriko will return this mansion to Minaho-neesan .
「 If this house belongs to Kouzuki house in documents then I think we can convince the people outside . What do you think, Minaho-oneesama? 」
Ruriko asks .
「 But, won’t it look strange if we’re living in a property owned by Kouzuki house? 」
Ruriko is Jii-chan’s daughter, so she’s okay but, Megu, Mana, all the other girls, and me, we’ve got nothing to do with Kouzuki house .
「 Besides, wouldn’t it be strange if Minaho-neesan’s living in a place that she just sold? 」
Kuromori members won’t be able to live here .
「 That’s not true . It’s Kouzuki house’s freedom to choose who lives in the mansion 」
