Chapter 744.: 744.
「 But what should I do with Kouzuki SS then? 」
Even if you tell me that I’m in control of the backside of Kouzuki SS,
I’m just a dumb high schoolboy .
I can’t do anything .
「 You don’t need to do anything 」
Margo-san says while lightly handling the steering wheel .
「 Shou-oneesan would take care of the troublesome stuff anyway . As for you, well, I guess you’ll show up with Misuzu-chan on parties as Kuromori Kou twice or thrice a year . Then, if you attend those, they’ll make you stand out . Creating noise saying “is that the rumored Kuromori Kou?” That’s all, I think 」
I will only show up a few times a year .
And everything else is left to Shou-neechan, or me hiding in Misuzu’s shadow .
「 It would hardly affect your daily life . After all, you’re not Kuromori Kou most of the time, you’re Yoshida Yoshinobu 」
I do have two family register right now .
One is Natou Keito, Nei’s dead younger brother .
Now, it’s taken the Kuromori surname, and so the name’s Kuromori Keito .
Kuromori Kou is Kuromori Keito’s alias .
And the other is my original name, Yoshida Yoshinobu .
I’m already adopted to the Kuromori household, and so my name in the paper is Kuromori Yoshinobu .
However, it’s not public that I’m adopted now .
Therefore, I stay as Yoshida Yoshinobu .
「 The point is that Kouzuki-san is worried that he’ll pass away soon 」
Worried?
「 He wants to make sure that Misuzu-chan, Ruriko-chan, and Yoshiko-san are safe even if something happens to him suddenly . That is why he had to solidify his control with Kouzuki SS 」
Kouzuki SS has all the power they need for bodyguards or fighting off foreign invaders .
「 Kouzuki-san can’t hand over the shares of the other companies in Kouzuki group to Misuzu-chan before he dies . They’re still minor, and so Shiba-san, the new manager of the group may feel suspicious of it 」
Putting the idea that Jii-chan might collapse, he’s still healthy, and people would think that it’s strange that he’s starting to migrate his stocks .
「 However, suppose that Kouzuki-san passes away suddenly right now, Misuzu-chan cannot inherit all of Kouzuki-san’s assets right away . Kouzuki house has multiple branch families, and they all hold their own interests too . There would be a time lag as they would check on how to unify the group 」
There would be a discussion on how to split the inheritance for the three granddaughters .
「 Well, if the group were an ordinary company, there would be no problems in the management even if in times of confusion, but Kouzuki SS cannot allow that to happen 」
Yeah .
Even if the owner died,
It’s a problem if they don’t keep protecting Misuzu and the girls .
「 Therefore, Kouzuki SS has a takeover right now, separate from the other companies 」
Margo-san said .
「 Kouzuki SS is an independent group from the Kouzuki group from the start anyway . Kouzuki-san holds 100% of the stocks by himself, and he would give it all to Misuzu-chan . Misuzu-chan is the owner, and Kuromori Kou is Misuzu-chan’s partner . Therefore, it won’t look strange even if you control the backside of Kouzuki SS . Everyone knows that Kouzuki-san has accepted you as Misuzu-chan’s partner 」
And so, Kouzuki SS will remain loyal to Misuzu even if anything unforeseen happens .
「 And as for the other one 」
Margo-san looks at me through the rear-view mirror .
「 It’s about Minaho 」
Minaho-neesan?
「 You do know that when we reopen the brothel for five years, is a necessity for Minaho to settle up with her past and to save all the other former prostitutes who can’t find any other livelihood, right? 」
「 Yes, naturally 」
There are troublemakers like Iwakura-kaichou .
「 Then, as for Minaho after closing down the brothel after five years 」
Margo-san said .
「 What do you think about doing her work in a managerial position in Kouzuki SS? 」
Minaho-neesan working in Kouzuki SS?
「 Well, Minaho can start her own business or invest in others too 」
Margo-san sighed .
「 Her past as a hostess of the brothel will chase after Minaho forever . She knows too many personal secrets from big families which they don’t want others to know, and she has a relationship with people in the underground society . It would be hard for Minaho to start an ordinary business with that in mind . The people around will always be scared that she might expose something 」
While the brothel is open, Minaho-neesan herself is living in a guilty business, and so the customers don’t fear Minaho-neesan .
But, if Minaho-neesan completely quits the business on this site and start doing business on the surface;
The people from the backside would fear that Minaho-neesan threatens them about the past .
「 And that’s why I think Minaho should register as an analyst or a negotiator on the backside of Kouzuki SS 」
Margo-san said .
「 Kouzuki SS is a specialist security company, and she would have confidentiality obligation . If one can’t keep their mouth shut, then customers won’t trust that security firm . People in the underground society also keeps an eye on Kouzuki SS people, and that they won’t pick a fight with Minaho that easily 」
I see . We can protect Minaho-neesan if she stays in Kouzuki SS .
「 Kouzuki SS can use Minaho’s existing connections and her ability to analyze and process information . That’s a win-win relationship for them . Although, if she wants to start another business, it doesn’t need to belong to Kouzuki SS anymore . Besides, it’s not the ordinary employees but Misuzu-chan, the owner who will be rewarding the officers directly . In Minaho’s case, it might be best for her to become an outside director 」
Yeah . Yeah, ordinary people at their age can’t be Minaho-neesan’s employees .
An ordinary person can’t be Minaho-neesan’s boss nor subordinate .
Minaho-neesan probably won’t even talk unless it’s with Shou-neechan or chief Yazawa .
「 And since Kouzuki SS can’t expect support from the Kouzuki group anymore, they have to make independent profitability 」
Shiba-san will be taking over the management from Jii-chan .
The large funds they had thanks to Jii-chan’s command until now will be dropped .
「 That is why they need people like Minaho at times like this . Minaho knows the ropes in mercantile 」
Minaho-neesan has the experience of rebuilding the battered Kuromori during the time of Shirasaka Sousuke’s chaotic rule .
「 Besides, with Minaho’s connections, Kouzuki SS will be able to find even more customers that they never had before, see? 」
Kouzuki SS’ parent company is from Kouzuki house .
They took charge of protecting only the distinguished families close to the Kouzuki house .
Kuromori was frequented by a lot of men from distinguished houses in the postwar period .
They create sales to families that weren’t close to the Kouzuki house .
「 Maybe, is that why Shou-neechan is with Minaho-neesan in this case? 」
Minaho-neesan right now is;
She’s staying in the hotel with Shou-neechan and is analyzing the trend of the Kansai Yakuza towards Kouzuki house .
「 That’s right . Those in Yazawa-san’s generation don’t have a good outlook towards Minaho, but Kouzuki SS field division is now led by Shou-oneesan . Yazawa-san can’t complain even if Shou-oneesan hires her . I mean, as long as you exist, Yazawa-san will want to bring Minaho to Kouzuki SS 」
「 My existence? 」
「 Misuzu-chan and Ruriko-chan are on your side, and Minaho is your guardian . You could say that Yazawa-san in Kouzuki SS and Minaho confronting each other would be the most problematic 」
If Minaho-neesan gets angry and tells that Kouzuki SS can’t enter our mansion, then that would be a problem .
「 After all, they know that Minaho has Kyouko-san and me 」
We’re not troubled with protection even if we don’t rely on Kouzuki SS .
On the other hand, Kyouko-san is the only entity that could make Kouzuki SS suffer a great deal of damage when in total war .
Kyouko-san has the South American international criminal organization named Malandro .
Naturally, she also has Miss Cordelia, a leading figure in Los Angeles’ crime scene and her subordinates .
「 Yazawa-san allowed Kyouko-san and Rei-chan play around using the mass media, and so I think he prefers to have that kind of playing around relationship than having to fight her for real . Even if they look like that, they keep in touch with each other when making plans 」
Oh, Rei-chan did say that .
I refused the plan from the other day .
「 With that said, I hope Minaho gradually becomes familiar with the work in Kouzuki SS> Right? 」
Margo-san asks me .
「 I don’t think I should be the one to give approval to that 」
Minaho-neesan’s the one protecting me, not the other way around .
「 I wonder? I think that Minaho would listen no matter what you say 」
Margo-san smiles .
「 Darling, take what Margo said about Minaho in your mind and think about it yourself 」
Edie who has been listening in the passenger seat all this time said .
「 I think that Minaho will accept it smoothly . I mean, Minaho is a wise woman . Since she already has a smooth relationship with the Kouzuki SS, you know that things will go smoothly . She’s building a good relationship with Shou and Reika 」
Yeah, especially with the Takakura sisters case .
Minaho-neesan has been discussing things with Shou-neechan and Rei-chan all the time .
Chief Yazawa already handed over the responsibility on-site to Shou-neechan, and so he’s watching from the back now .
「 And that’s why it would be great if Darling could help with the ideas we’ve thought of . You can convince her right away . Minaho’s in love with Darling after all 」
Edie said .
「 In the end, it’s not about joining Kouzuki SS but having her as a member even just on paper . Calling her an outside director . We have to emphasize that . Minaho’s got a strong sense of independence . She might reject it if she imagines herself under Kouzuki-san’s grasp 」
Margo-san added .
「 Okay . I’ll talk to her tonight 」
Minaho-neesan would refuse to belong to Kouzuki SS owned by Jii-chan and managed by chief Yazawa .
But if Misuzu’s the owner and Shou-neechan’s the manager, then she might find it acceptable .
「 Thanks 」
Margo-san tells me with a smile .
◇ ◇ ◇
It’s already dark outside by the time our car arrived near the school .
「 Err, should I call Megu, so we pick her up at the school gate? 」
I ask Margo-san .
「 No, the staff parking lot is closed anyway so I’ll stop over there, and you can get off and find Megu-chan 」
Huh?
「 It’s already past 6pm, I think the club’s training is over by now 」
That’s why I only need to call Megu’s phone .
It doesn’t take that much time to go from the back of the school to the main gate .
「 But, you want to have some time to talk with Megu-chan, don’t you? 」
That’s .
「 Margo, I’ll come with him as his bodyguard . You can take Tsukiko and the two back to the mansion . Agnes is waiting for them 」
Edie said .
「 You’re right . I think Megu-chan will just rampage if it’s only the two of them, so I guess it’s better if you come with him, Edie 」
Margo-san replied .
Yeah, right .
If it’s just Megu and me .
Megu would just throw all of the emotions she’s accumulating to me one-sidedly .
It might help if there’s someone calm and can see through the situation like Edie .
「 Oh? If that’s the case, then I’ll go too!! 」
I hear a cheerful voice from the backseat .
When I turned around, I see the Takakura sisters who were supposed to be asleep, now awake .
「 I’m also interested in looking at Sensei’s school! 」
Her voluptuous breasts sway around .
Err .
「 Yomiko, you shouldn’t go 」
Tsukiko said .
「 Why, Tsukiko-oneesama?! 」
Yomiko complains .
「 Your Tsuki power is stronger, right? Megumi-san knows your ability, and so I think she’d be wary if she sees you 」
Megu knows everything that happened last night .
That we’re trying to strengthen the power of the sisters somehow .
Megu went to school early for her club activities, but,
