Chapter 798

「 I’m talking about the first-year tennis club member, Kiyohara Ai-chan 」

Nei suddenly talks to me while having lunch .

「 Well, after investigating the specifics for a week, the results are that she’s a girl with no connections to the underground society 」

Huh?

「 Her father’s an ordinary salaryman, her mother’s a housewife . She’s taking classes in the cultural center though . Ah, she’s not a lecturer but a student . She has no problems with her peers 」

「 You looked that up? 」

Kana-senpai’s surprised .

「 Not me . The research division of Kouzuki SS . You know, Yo-chan’s a VIP . It would be bad if he got involved with an actually dangerous girl . And so, no matter what he does… 」

The dispute between Kansai Yakuza and Kouzuki house continues below the surface .

And so, they’ll check everything .

「 Then, I had a week break after talking to Ai-chan, right? 」

「 That’s right! That one week was significant 」

Just eight days ago, there was a confrontation at the hotel in the city center .

The Kansai Yakuza are desperate to find Kouzuki house’s weak points .

Once they pin down that I’m going to this school, they might try to send someone to make contact with me .

Thinking that a spy is sneaking in is plausible .

However, Minaho-neesan monitors the whole school, and so she’ll know when someone is behaving strangely .

The hidden cameras and microphones within the school aren’t just for show .

「 While we’re at it, we also did the same investigation with Kana-chan . And now, you belong in the list of people Kouzuki SS protects 」

Nei said .

「 That said, you’re not monitored all the time, but instead, they check your location through your phone If I recall correctly . And in case something’s out of place, then they’ll send in people . Of course, people are watching you from the shadows at times 」

「 R-Right 」

Kana-senpai looked dumbfounded .

「 Then that means it would be reported if I walk together with a guy? 」

「 Huh? I mean, that guy you were with at the department store in front of the station yesterday was an older cousin of yours, right? A second-year guy 」

Nei smiled .

「 Ah, yeah . 」

「 And as for the business, your cousin’s friend liked you when he saw a pic, and he wanted to meet you at least once, but didn’t you refuse, Kana-chan? 」

「 Well, yeah 」

Kana-senpai’s frightened, Yukino…

「 If you’re surprised from that much then you won’t last long, Kouzuki SS is basically a spy network 」

Yukino lived together with the workers for Kouzuki SS until last week .

She’s observed 24/7 . Thus, she knows how fearsome Kouzuki SS can be .

「 Naturally, you can get yourself a boyfriend, Kana-chan . Kana-chan’s free to pick your lover . Although, if you do that, you’ll have to bid farewell with Yo-chan 」

Nei says with a smile .

「 After a while, there would be people showing up and coming close to Kana-chan saying that they want to be acquainted with Kouzuki house 」

「 Me? 」

「 Mii-chan and Ruri-chan are both Yo-chan’s partners, that’s how much he’s worth 」

Nei looked at Kana-senpai with a straight face .

「 Kouzuki SS is already investigating Kana-chan’s cousin’s friend . Well, I don’t think that there would be any weird connections, but just in case . You don’t know what’s going to happen after all 」

「 Be careful about those “winning a lottery” or something . Enemies create every possible opportunity to get close 」

Edie said .

「 Oh right . You should refuse those free of charge nonsense . Or hand them to me . They may be wiretaps after all . And if you want something, just tell us . As long as it’s nothing much, we’ll hand them to Kana-chan as presents 」

「 Kana no longer needs to go to the lottery, you’ve long hit the jackpot after all 」

Kana-senpai .

「 Don’t take anything from strange people . Kouzuki house would bring out a fraction of money, is that it? 」

She speaks in discontent .

「 No, I’m the one paying for it

「 Nobu?

Kana-senpai looked at me .

「 You’re my woman, so I’ll pay for you . Though I don’t have money right now, so someone else is settling in my behalf 」

「 But? 」

「 No, it’s not just Kana-senpai, I’m doing it with everyone . I’ve got a lot of debt, but I’ll be sure to pay it all 」

「 Nobu will? 」

「 Isn’t that why I’m working hard on this bakery? 」

Kana-senpai .

「 But your products are only priced at 100 and 200 yen . 」

Yeah, no matter how much I sell…

I can’t pay off the debt I have on Minaho-neesan .

「 But, for now, I want to plant the seeds of trade and learn from it 」

I…

「 I’m an idiot, and so I need to understand how the market works before I move forward 」

「 Nobu’s serious 」

Kana-senpai looked at me in the eye and said .

「 Okay . Nobu wants to be self-supporting even when the Kouzuki house ladies support you 」

「 Yeah . Although I can’t get the knack of it 」

「 No, I think that’s mature of you Nobu… 」

Kana-senpai looked at Nei .

「 It’s my loss . I won’t be too selfish when it comes to money . I’d rather have fun being together with Nobu 」

She said with a smile, but .

「 Not really, you should be selfish, Kana-chan 」

Nei?

「 Misuzu and Ruriko of Kouzuki house have their honor . They don’t like it if Kana’s holding back on materialism 」

They’re daughters of a wealthy family, and so they don’t have any discomfort when it comes to money or social status .

If they don’t grant Kana-senpai’s material desires, then…

Misuzu and Ruriko won’t be satisfied .

「 Therefore, try to be selfish, think of it as an act of mercy . Don’t worry, we’ll help Darling to settle the accounts 」

Edie placed emphasis on “we . ”

「 Okay . I’ll ask for stuff if that’s what satisfies the ladies 」

Kana-senpai agreed .

「 Either way, what I wish for is nothing much to the ladies 」

Kana-senpai’s an ordinary girl .

Even if what she asks for is branded, it’s nothing but a few thousands of yen .

「 Misuzu did say that the top-tier brands never show on advertisements so hardly anyone knows about it 」

I recalled .

「 The brands most people want isn’t something Misuzu and her kind would want to obtain 」

「 The wealthy wouldn’t use anything that most people could buy anyway 」

Edie and Nei said .

「 Why? Can’t Misuzu-san and others bring in Kelley or Barkin brands? 」

Kana-senpai asks .

「 It’s disgraceful for them to bring in bags other people also use . Especially when you’re in parties 」

Nei smiled wryly .

「 What? 」

I don’t get it?

「 It means that other people have the same model of the item . The ladies of Kouzuki house bringing in something similar to what others have broken their atmosphere . Women pay a lot of attention to that . Therefore, Mii-chan and Ruri-chan only bring in made-to-order items from super-high-class brands . If there’s only one of it, then there won’t be anything similar 」

I see .

「 As for me, I don’t care if I find someone with a similar item as long as it’s branded 」

Kana-senpai sighed .

「 And that’s why you can ask for those 」

Nei smiled .

「 Right, I guess I’ll do that 」

Kana-senpai laughed .

「 Right~ Women don’t like having something similar to what others have 」

Yukino said .

「 Remember the gay person I show up on television together? Francie 」

Yeah, the gay columnist .

「 That guy mentioned that when he showed up on another show, the co-star Enka singer lady said that “We’re wearing the same clothes, change yours . ” They had different colors though . Francie’s wearing a green and the lady was wearing a red one . Then, Francie asks, “What do you mean by similar?” then the lady said, “The shape and image of our clothes . ” Can you believe it? Francie’s Gay . He’s wearing women’s clothing, but he’s still a middle-aged man inside! They couldn’t be wearing similar clothes 」

Hmmm .

「 By the way, who’s that singer? 」

Kana-senpai asks .

「 ******ko 」

Yukino mentioned a name I don’t know .

「 Hmmm . I think that if Francie-san wears the same, there won’t be much difference 」

「 But! I mean! Francie’s an old man! I saw him enter the male restroom! 」

Yukino shouts .

「 But, if *****ko enters the male restroom I won’t be surprised either 」

Nei said .

「 She’s an Enka singer, and despite that, she’s looking at Francie-san as a rival, that’s something 」

Kana-senpai said with an amazed tone .

「 By the way, you’re going on that show wearing clothes this time, right? 」

I changed the topic .

Yukino’s confessed her pregnancy on TV and reconciled with us, and as a result…

Yukino, who’s been wearing a micro bikini for four months, is now allowed to wear clothes .

「 That’s right, but, it’s a problem if that drops the ratings 」

Yukino said .

「 I’ve been wearing my usual swimsuit in my show so far, but… 」

That’s hmmm .

「 I think it’s gonna be bad if I put on clothes and the show suddenly drops on ratings, right? 」

「 But, your stomach is growing bigger . If it gets cold, you might catch a cold, that won’t be good for the child 」

I said .

「 Right . And that’s why I thought of doing it slowly 」

Slowly?

「 For example, putting on the right socks along with the bikini next week . Left socks next week . Then breast-protector and something else by the following week, and increasing my clothing each week . Something like an RPG 」

What kind of thought process is that?

「 Putting that aside, what about calling a swimsuit idol as a guest? It’s okay to have Yukino-san as the only female in the show, but… 」

Kana-senpai said .

「 Not that I passed on that thought, but you know, since I mostly rampage on my show, most of the talents left… 」

Snatch, and Francie were the guys that stick with her .

「 But, the two were comedians, aren’t they? I’ve been watching your show since before, but, You never had an idol or a gravure morel show up, have you? 」

「 Now that you mention it, yeah . But, will they show up on my show? 」

Yukino asks herself .

「 They will . Yukino-san’s show has high ratings . Shouldn’t some women be hungry for success enough to have guts to appear in your show, right? I think that girls in national idol group would refuse since they’re already famous 」

「 Hmm . I see . Got it, I’ll talk to Snatch and Francie today . Thanks, Kana-san 」

Yukino thanked Kana-senpai .

However .

「 Look, Yukino-chi 」

Nei said .

「 You know that your show doesn’t have sponsors, so it shouldn’t care about ratings, right? 」

Right .

Yukino’s show is only broadcasting because the TV station yielded to Kyouko-san’s threats .

It doesn’t have any sponsors .

It doesn’t have any commercials nor any public advertisements .

It’s a special show where Yukino just talks with Francie and Snatch .

「 I mean, you can stop going there if you want 」

I said .

「 I’ll bow my head and ask for it 」

「 Huh, who? 」

Kana-senpai’s surprised .

Oh, Kyouko-san doesn’t know our relationship with Kyouko-san .

I mean, it’s a problem if she knows .

「 Kana-san, Kouzuki house owns the TV station that Yukino-chi shows in 」

Nei followed it up .

Jii-chan took the rights of management on that TV station from the Shirasaka house .

「 Oh right, you mentioned that they have an influence on mass media as well 」

Kana-senpai’s deceived somehow .

「 I won’t stop 」

Yukino said .

「 Why? I mean… 」

Yukino’s appearance on TV is the exchange for letting her live, or not letting her sold off .

Public humiliation was Minaho-neesan’s penalty on her .

But, Minaho-neesan no longer holds ill-will towards Yukino .

The family has forgiven Yukino .

Minaho-neesan’s revenge on Shirasaka Sousuke is over .

Yukino’s punishment should be over as well .

「 It’s just the same as your bakery 」

Yukino said .

「 I want to open a path for my life 」

Yukino .

「 And right now, this half-baked TV world is the only place I can earn money from 」

Yukino’s father’s offense and his tragic death .

Yukino’s humiliating videos .

The whole of Japan knows all of it .

No, it’s on the internet, so the whole world does .

「 Since I’m famous, I thought of capitalizing on that . I’d rather not live while feeling indebted to you 」

Yukino said .

Yukino’s resolved herself to live in the TV world .

「 If that’s the case, I’ll support your decision 」

I said .

「 Naturally . If you don’t support me, who will? 」

Yukino smiled .

「 By the way, Kana-chan, you never ask why Yukino-chi’s with us, do you? 」

Nei asks .

Yukino’s been coming to the bakery during lunch like it’s natural since last week .

「 Well, I thought I shouldn’t ask 」

Kana-senpai smiled wryly .

「 I mean, if I ask everything that’s around Nobu then I don’t think I’d be able to stand in surprise 」

Then, she looked at Yukino and me .

「 Nobu and Yukino-san talk very naturally . That’s how I see it . Therefore, I’d rather not ask the details 」

Kana-senpai knows the balance .

She doesn’t ask anything unnecessary, nor she doesn’t break the atmosphere .

「 Well, if Nobu or Yukino-san wants to talk about it, then I’ll listen . Think of me as your ally, Yukino-san . There’s no problem with that . To be honest, your open-heartedness is interesting, Yukino-san . You really are just like in the TV 」

In the end…

It doesn’t matter what kind of people her parents were…

Yukino’s fans increase through the TV broadcasts .

Naturally, people over the internet who still think that they can’t forgive Shirasaka Sousuke’s daughter because of his misdeeds still exist .

Students in our school still don’t know how to deal with her .

But .

They see on TV that Yukino’s not a bad girl .

It shows that she’s a girl whose frank with her opinions .

For sure .

Then .

Pinpon .

I hear the bell at the backdoor of the bakery .

「 Gimme a second! 」

Nei starts up the monitor to check the camera on the rear entrance .

The person on the image is…

「 Oh, they’ve come to pick me up 」

Kinoshita-san from Kouzuki SS .

Kinoshita-san is Yukino’s bodyguard for today .

「 I’ll open it up 」

I open the backdoor .

「 I’ve come to pick Yukino-san up 」

Kinoshita-san parked her car right in front of the backdoor of the bakery .

As usual, she’s holding a flail . It makes a sound as she walks .

Kinoshita-san looks cute on the outside, and so most people overlook, but…

Ordinary people and policemen would question her, “Hey, what are you holding?”

「 Well then, they’ve come to pick me up 」

Yukino stands up .

「 I’ll be back before dinner… 」

Yukino stared at me .

「 I’ll ask for details about that tennis club girl or something 」

「 There would be a video of it 」

Edie laughed .

◇　◇　◇

Now then, Yukino left .

「 I’ll be back at the counter . I’ll corner Megumi to continue the conversation 」

Edie, who finished her meal, returns to the counter .

Katsuko-nee and Megu should be enough as sellers over there .

Katsuko-nee never takes a break and is in the counter area until lunch break is over .

「 Katsuko-oneechan’s doing well too 」

Nei mutters .

「 She’s regained her life in high school, although as a bakery lady 」

I think so too .

Since standing in the counter of our bakery…

Katsuko-nee’s been in a good mood .

She left the management of the bakery to Megu and us,

And instead of hiding behind, she’s happier to have an exchange with the students, even as a salesperson .

Katsuko-nee’s fans are growing, both in male and female groups .

「 Well, putting that aside, let’s resume our meeting for Ai-chan 」

Nei?

「 Kana-chan, that stalker guy from Judo club slowed down this week, hasn’t he? 」

Oh, that guy who forced the first-year girl to date him…

Although, he’s the only one who wanted to enter that relationship…

He stubbornly urges the girl to send nudes…

In the end, he sent a picture of his dick to her .

It’s undoubtedly the guy from the Judo club .

「 Yeah . Our girls are guarding Ai-chan all the time too . Starting from sunrise until sunset, and there’s always someone with Ai-chan until going home 」

Kana-senpai replied .

「 And as for the mail spam on that Judo guy? 」

「 Same as usual . Sending stupid messages like “I love you, and so you should send me mails of your love too,” “when are you letting me fuck you?” and adding a photo of his dick 」

Is he stupid or a pervert?

Both .

「 And how did you deal with it today? 」

「 Yeah . Following Nei-san’s instructions yesterday, we’ll call that guy after school 」

You’re calling that pervert?

「 A letter would be sent to him saying, “You’re troubling Ai-chan, and so I’d like to talk to you . ” With my name in it . And then our club member brought that to his room 」

「 Okay 」

Nei nods .

「 Well then, the decisive battle would be after school 」

She smiled .

「 I also sent Iwakura-san a mail already 」

Things are going as planned then .

「 Yo-chan, I told you the details last night . All it needs is your approval 」

Nei never does anything without my permission now .

「 Yeah, that’s approved 」

For now, the Judo guy is hopeless .

We’ll send him to Iwakura-san…

And as for Ai-chan .
