Chapter 844.: 844.
「 Err, T-Thank you for inviting us today, it’s an honor 」
Torii Mariko-san comes to our table and starts greeting Misuzu and Ruriko .
「 Uhm, it’s the highest honor to have the two granddaughters of Kouzuki house be this close 」
Misuzu smiled .
「 Thank you for your greetings . Please, sit . Torii-san 」
「 Y-Yes 」
Mariko-san sits down nervously .
Misuzu, then…
「 Kanou-sama, please sit down as well 」
Kanou Sakurako-san is hesitating .
「 Grandfather asked us to do this, please don’t worry too much . Everyone in the table over there won’t think badly of Kanou-sama even if you take a seat 」
That table has Yoshiko-san dealing with the young daughters of the Kouzuki group .
Seeing that she’s sitting alone on a different table, Kanou-san’s house might not be getting along with Kouzuki house .
Misuzu calls her “Kanou-sama . ”
「 Indeed . This is a rare chance, please join us by all means 」
Ruriko, who comes in from behind, encourages Kanou-san to sit down .
「 You’re right . I understand . Then, excuse me 」
Kanou-san joins in our table .
Kanou-san’s attendant, a bodyguard who is tall and has a sharp look in her eyes, pulls the chair .
Kanou-san sits down gracefully .
Huh?
I wonder why did Torii-san’s bodyguard not pull the chair for her?
I look at Torii-san’s bodyguard while avoiding their gaze .
Oh, I didn’t see it that well because of the sunglasses, but…
Her eyes are blue . She’s probably mixed race . Her hair is black, and her facial features seem Japanese, so I thought she is, but…
「 Kurama-san, please 」
Misuzu calls out to the trembling Kurama sisters .
「 W-We… 」
The big sister’s afraid .
「 Onee-sama, this might be our last chance 」
The little sister speaks to her weak-hearted big sister .
「 But, for someone like us to sit on that table… 」
Kurama Misato-san’s in panic .
「 Do you mind? Kanou-sama, Torii-san? 」
Misuzu smiled at the two .
「 I-If Misuzu-sama doesn’t mind… 」
Torii-san forces herself to make a smile .
「 I don’t mind either, this is the last opportunity for Kurama-san to talk anyway 」
Kanou-san speaks coldly .
「 It’s genuinely, unfortunate, I have known Kurama-san since childhood after all 」
Then that means, Kanou Sakurako-san is at the same age as Kurama-elder .
「 Although, we never had a friendly talk before 」
Misuzu’s school is connected from kindergarten to high school
They were together for at least ten years, and yet .
They never talked .
「 How long are you going to stand there? If you continue to do that, it will look like Misuzu-sama sand we are bullying you 」
Kanou-san speaks strongly
She puts herself in the same rank as Misuzu .
However, she ignores Torii-san .
Oh, I can see their relationships now .
「 I-If you’d excuse us 」
「 Excuse us 」
In Kurama sisters’ case . Oh, their bodyguards do pull their chairs .
The sisters have one bodyguard each .
Oh, these two might be sisters as well .
They look the same, and their Qi…
「 Ruriko, sit down 」
「 Yes, Misuzu-oneesama 」
Ruriko pulls her seat and sits down .
「 Danna-sama, let’s reintroduce everyone 」
Misuzu smiled at me .
「 This is Kanou Sakurako-sama . Kanou-sama, this is my future husband 」
「 Kuromori Kou 」
I bow my head .
「 Kanou Sakurako . Pleased to meet you 」
Sakurako-san shows a standoffish attitude, as she replied .
Oh, maybe she hates me .
I don’t sense malice, but I sense hostility .
「 Then, this is, Torii Mariko-san, was it? 」
I guess Misuzu’s not acquainted with Torii-san .
「 Y-Yes! Torii! Torii…Torii Mariko! 」
Torii-san’s a bit energetic .
That helps . I feel less nervous when there’s someone way more nervous than me .
「 Kuromori Kou . Pleased to meet you 」
「 Y-Y-Yeeee!! 」
What? Why are you bowing like that?
Am I a shogun?
「 And then, the Kurama sisters . They belong to the Kouzuki group 」
Misuzu explained it that way, that means…
Kanou-san and Torii-san’s family don’t have relations with Kouzuki clan .
She introduced them last to me because they are members of the same organization .
「 Kurama Arisu! 」
The younger sister replies cheerfully .
「 Kurama Misato… 」
The elder sister is depressed .
「 Kuromori Kou . I thank you for looking after Misuzu and Ruriko 」
「 N-No, we’re not… 」
「 W-We’re in the same class in Japanese dancing as Misuzu-sama! 」
The little sister follows up to the trembling sister .
「 Oh, Nadeshiko-sensei’s class? Then, that means you were there during the dance presentation last May? 」
「 Indeed, Danna-sama, these two were surprised 」
Oh, that time .
「 Oh, but forgive me . I didn’t know much about traditional dance . I watched it, but I didn’t know who the dancers were… 」
I don’t remember these two .
「 We do dress up and put on some makeup, it alters our appearances 」
Ruriko explained .
「 W-We saw that… 」
The elder sister speaks bashfully .
「 Kuromori-sama and Misuzu-sama…that… 」
Aaaah!
Oh right . Misuzu and I kissed on stage while everyone’s watching .
「 I-I saw that too 」
Kurama-younger speaks .
No, you got me there .
「 U-Uhm, what is that about? 」
Torii-san doesn’t seem to know .
Then that means, she’s not in Nadeshiko-sensei’s traditional dance class .
Hmmmmmmmmmmm?!!
「 Uhm, could it be that Kanou-san danced that day? Before Yoshiko-san? 」
I recalled .
I remember someone with this mature face .
「 Yes, I participated in the dance presentation 」
Kanou-san replied with hurt feelings .
「 Err, uhm, can you explain it to me? 」
Torii-san’s trying to get into the conversation desperately .
「 Can we end this conversation? I have other topics that need discussion 」
Kanou-san speaks strongly .
I see . I get it .
Kanou-san’s house is perhaps on the same line of history as Kouzuki house .
That’s why Misuzu calls her with respect .
And, during that day, Misuzu was last, Ruriko was before Misuzu, Yoshiko-san was before Ruriko, and Kanou-san was before Yoshiko-san .
With that sort, it’s not about who’s the best, but who’s superior .
Furthermore, Yoshiko-san wasn’t announced as Jii-chan’s granddaughter yet .
Kanou-san must be discontented that Ruriko’s attendant, Yoshiko-san came later than her .
「 Indeed . Torii-san doesn’t seem to understand what we’re talking about, let’s leave it at that 」
Misuzu put Kanou-san into consideration .
Perhaps, it’s a lot of trouble if she doesn’t .
Well, I can take steps to understand . No need to hollow it out .
「 Putting that aside, I’d like to know the names of your bodyguards 」
I said .
Kanou-san shows a startled face .
「 Bodyguards are just servants 」
So that’s how she thinks .
「 But, it’s a social gathering about your bodyguards, right? Since while we’re at it, I’d like to know them 」
I said with a smile .
「 Indeed, as you can see, the masters are having conversations, yet the bodyguards aren’t 」
Misuzu looks at the other tables .
Yeah, the master’s who are sitting down are having a conversation, but .
The bodyguards behind them are silent .
「 They’re away for now, but we will introduce our bodyguards later 」
Misuzu speaks brightly .
That’s Michi .
Speaking of…Where’s Michi?
「 Still, if that’s the case, then shouldn’t the servants talk to each other? 」
Kanou-san said .
「 Introducing themselves as bodyguards, and if they were scouted for another company later… 」
Well, I guess there’s that .
They think that Kouzuki SS only wants to scout the good bodyguards .
「 But, since we have this opportunity, could you at least let me know the names of your bodyguards? 」
I said .
「 We’re all fellow humans, it would be sad not to know their name 」
「 You can check that and know right away, don’t you? Kouzuki-sama’s got research body with Kouzuki SS 」
Kanou-san rejects .
「 Indeed, I think I can know the names of the bodyguards if I ask them . But, that’s not a relationship between people 」
「 Relationship between people? To a servant? A bodyguard? 」
Oh, she doesn’t get it .
I stand up from my chair .
I look at the eyes of the four bodyguards .
「 Hello . Nice to meet you, I’m Kuromori Kou 」
I greeted them one by one .
The four were confused .
「 Ufufufu, fufufufufu 」
Torii-san laughed .
「 Kuromori-sama, you’re such an interesting person! 」
