Chapter 728.: 728.
After warding off the Yakuza in the underground parking lot, we continue driving in the parking lot .
The second and third car follows .
After reaching the innermost wall, Nee-chan;
「 Everyone, stay alert 」
She gives instructions through the radio .
「 Edie-chan, Go outside and check for people hiding around 」
She tells Edie in the backseat .
Edie sniffs like a dog, then,
「 Looks okay, nobody’s here 」
『 Second car, no problems 』
It’s Rei-chan’s voice . As for the second car, Michi’s in charge of probing around .
『 Third car, I think we’re okay 』
Margo-san reports .
Looks like Margo-san and Nei checked around .
「 First car, roger that 」
Shou-neechan opens the window of the driver’s seat and sticks her face outside .
Oh, there’s a surveillance camera above the wall from that point .
Shou-neechan shows her face to the camera and makes a sign with her hand .
Then,
Wiiiiiiiiiiin
The wall opens .
It’s disguised as a concrete wall, but this is actually a gate leading to the inner side .
「 The hand sign is a fake one . We’re actually using retina scan 」
Shou-neechan tells me .
And then, our cars proceed into the hidden parking lot behind the gate .
As soon as Margo-san’s car passes through, the gate closes again .
「 Okay, looks like we have no intruders 」
Shou-neechan sighed .
「 It’s okay now . Everyone other than the driver can get off now .
She speaks to the radio .
Then that means that the Yakuza can’t come in here .
「 Darling, let’s get off . You too 」
Edie tells Kudou Haruka .
She looks uninterested in calling Haruka by her name .
「 W-What?! 」
Haruka tries to refuse but Edie’s showing off her overwhelming fighting power and so she looks a bit timid .
「 Come here, get off the car! 」
I get off the passenger seat, Edie and Haruka get off the car as well .
Michi and the Takakura sisters got off the second car . Nei and Minaho-neesan got off the third car .
「 Give us a second . We’ll park the cars on the garage 」
Shou-neechan talks to us through the open car window .
I looked around, then the door behind opens up .
Oh, this looks like an elevator where you only drive a car in, a multi-story park .
「 That computer can deliver the car to the owner from any floor, ground to the third basement floor 」
Oh, each floor in the parking lot has the same hidden room like this one and is connected to a multi-level parking lot .
Kouzuki group owns this hotel and Jii-chan is using it to make a deal with the Yakuza, it would be strange if I don’t see this secret system at all .
「 But, why do we have to go to the third floor underground? 」
I asked .
「 It’s a rule to not have people in the car while lifting . Well, that’s natural . There’s an x-ray check on the way to see if there’s anything dangerous loaded or whether people are hiding in the car 」
Yeah, even in an ordinary multi-story park, it’s forbidden for people to stay in there .
「 Then, we also have a lift to the 16th floor from the hidden parking space on the third basement floor 」
16th floor?
「 Kakka’s waiting over there 」
Jii-chan’s there .
「 Kakka entered this hotel last night . He did before telling the Yakuza the venue 」
I see . If Jii-chan’s here first, then,
There won’t be any terrorist acts on the meeting place as soon as he enters .
「 The other side of that door is the elevator hall, give us a moment 」
Shou-neechan said .
「 Shou-oneechaaaaan~ This door won’t open though! 」
Nei makes the doorknob clatter .
「 Oh sorry . That also needs my fingerprint 」
For now, Shou-neechan brings the car to the lift .
She gets off the driver seat and off the lit, then the car’s carried upwards automatically .
Then, another empty lift appears .
Rei-chan drives her car in there .
Then lastly, Margo-san .
Our cars are all sucked up to the parking garage .
「 Sensei 」
「 Kou-sama 」
「 Nii-san 」
The sisters in shrine maiden clothing come to me looking worried .
「 It’s okay . We’ll be able to move without problems now 」
I tell the sisters .
「 Yes, there’s nothing to be scared of anymore! 」
Nei cheers up the three .
Meanwhile, Shou-neechan opens up the cover for biometric verification and places her palm in it .
『 Pipi! Confirmed 』
Click .
I hear the door unlocking .
「 Alright, let’s go 」
◇ ◇ ◇
After entering the elevator hall,
There are two women in a suit waiting in front of the two elevators .
「 We’ve been waiting for you 」
One of them is Taki-san, I’ve been in her care before .
As for the other one,
「 We’ve confirmed your arrival via the surveillance camera and chief Yazawa has sent orders to pick you up 」
Isn’t that Banba-san from formerly Banbarubie-3?
Oh right . Barbie-san and Ruby-san followed after Kyouko-san .
Banba-san’s entered Kouzuki SS .
Still,
She’s no longer wearing the stupid Bikini and hot pants with a Japanese sword in her back .
Seeing Banba-san wearing an ordinary suit, she looks beautiful .
Although, she’s got a long handle weapon in her hands .
「 Thanks for the hard work . Taki-san, Kinoshita 」
Shou-neechan tells the two .
Oh, Banba-san’s real name was Kinoshita-san, right . I forgot .
「 Hmm, this elevator 」
Margo-san compares the two elevators .
「 The right one leads to the 16th floor, and the left one only goes to the first floor, doesn’t it? 」
「 Indeed, it’s possible to make an emergency escape from here 」
Shou-neechan replies .
「 Which part of the first floor? 」
「 The back of the lobby . You’ll exit on the employees’ warehouse 」
Margo-san thinks for a moment .
「 Can we go out for reconnaissance? 」
Reconnaissance?
「 Shou-oneesan and Minaho-san still have to give Kouzuki-san a report . Therefore, go with the Takakura sisters on the 16th floor 」
Margo-san said .
「 Edie, Nei, and I will go out for reconnaissance for a bit 」
Are you taking Edie?
「 I think that the enemies watching the fight in the underground parking lot earlier would react if they see Edie around 」
Just a few minutes ago, Edie took down the Yakuza ambush of more than ten people by herself .
There should be a guy watching it all with a hidden camera .
We’re aware of them, but we ignored them .
「 The Yakuza from earlier named themselves as Satake’s henchmen, but 」
Margo-san continues .
「 But, maybe, the orders from the attack earlier didn’t come from Satake himself 」
Someone else gave the order?
「 Indeed . The groups inside Yakuza may not be a single block . It’s possible that a mid-boss sent in the group without asking for the permission of their big boss, Satake 」
Nei nods .
「 Indeed . Naturally, someone plans to expand their power using this opportunity . Yakuza’s that kind of group after all 」
Minaho-neesan said .
「 I mean, the Yakuza on the upper floor are divided into the group of the old president Oodori, and the new head, Satake, but both group should have a lot of spies and traitors . Kansai Yakuza’s a small world after all . Some others could be aiming to profit from the fight 」
Yeah, the various ideas entangling and it’s getting confusing .
「 Therefore, I thought of coming out and checking the situation for a bit . Edie, come with us 」
Margo-san smiles .
That means if anyone overreacts when they see Edie knows what happens underground, saying, that is the person looking through the cameras .
On the other hand, if they’re not on guard with Edie, they know nothing about the fight earlier .
Edie’s existence becomes the litmus paper for the Yakuza .
「 Michi-chan, you can guard the Takakura sisters . Edie can do the same, but we’d like to keep the Qi skills as secret if possible 」
「 Roger that 」
Margo-san gives instructions . Michi nods .
「 Also, Haruka-san and you’ll come with us as well 」
Haruka and me?
「 You want to go and scout it out, don’t you? 」
Margo-san smiles .
「 It’s a power scouting, isn’t it? 」
I say the line I heard earlier .
「 You got it . While at it, we’re going to get them scared . We have to tell the Yakuza that Kuromori is much more dangerous than them 」
If I join up in this power scouting group,
And I keep a composted attitude as Margo-san goes wild,
Then the Yakuza would be cautious of me during the deal .
I don’t have the fighting power as much as Margo-san or Edie has,
But, if they become cautious of me, then I can break their concentration .
「 Okay, I’m going too 」
「 Sensei, it’s dangerous to go! 」
「 Nii-san 」
Yomiko and Luna cling to my arms .
「 No, if you say that, going here now is dangerous enough 」
I smile at the two .
「 It’s okay . I’ve got experience when it comes to danger . This much is nothing 」
「 Let’s leave it to Kou-sama 」
Tsukiko tells her sisters .
「 But, please be careful all the time 」
「 Yeah, I know 」
「 Edie-chan, protect Sensei, okay? 」
「 Nei-oneechan, please 」
Yomiko and Luna said .
