Chapter 852.: 852.
「 Then, please enjoy the night everyone 」





Misuzu announced the start of the party, and yet…

The young ladies are still quiet .

They seem puzzled about why do they have to toast together with their servants .

However, with this tense atmosphere…

The bodyguards will no longer move to promote themselves to other houses .

「 Misuzu-sama, I have a question 」

Kanou-san didn’t take a sip from the glass .

「 Yes, what is it, Kanou-sama? 」

Misuzu smiles .

Everyone in the courtyard looked at the two .

「 What are you trying to do? 」

Kanou-san glared at Misuzu .

Shie-san behind her shows a blank look on her face .

She’s holding the glass, but she’s not drinking .

Well, her Master still hasn’t taken a sip, so the servant won’t do the same .

「 What do you mean? 」

Misuzu shows a relaxed look as she answered .

「 Why is Kouzuki Misuzu-sama treating the bodyguards equally as us? 」

Kanou-san asks .

「 Even if you ask me, I only did what Danna-sama told me to do 」

Misuzu’s eyes send me a passionate look .

「 Today, I have sent invitations to everyone . By that, I mean the young ladies of each family and their bodyguards . That means everyone in this courtyard are all my, no, guests of Kouzuki house 」

「 I don’t accept that reason . I’m asking why do I have to treat the servants as an equal! 」

Kanou-san responded with a slightly irritated tone .

「 Oh? Do you not understand it? Kanou-sama? 」

Misuzu replies slowly .

「 I’m the one who invited you all, which means that I’m the one who lowers my attitude the most in here . All the young ladies and the bodyguards here are superior to me . You’re all my guests after all 」

The young ladies and their bodyguards listen to what Misuzu’s saying .

「 Despite that, if I don’t offer a glass to the bodyguards, who are also my guests, then it would be impolite of me . It will be a display of hubris . Danna-sama only pointed out that error of mine 」

Misuzu points at me, everyone’s now looking this way .

Luna, who’s clinging on my back sticks closer .

「 Danna-sama, Misuzu made a mistake . I’m sorry . I won’t make the same mistake again, please do not abandon Misuzu… 」

Misuzu apologizes to me .

She does that while all the young ladies, the bodyguards, the Kouzuki SS female employees wearing maid clothing watches .

I…

「 As long as you understand . Also, don’t do it again 」

Err .

「 I won’t hate you from something this trivial, don’t worry 」

「 Thank you, Danna-sama 」

That weird exchange eased up the tension from the girls in the courtyard .

「 It’s a matter within Kouzuki house, please pay it no heed 」

Ruriko smiled at the other girls instead of Misuzu .

「 Kouzuki house is a family with an ancient origin and is currently thriving by managing various enterprise 」


Ruriko said .

「 Though I say management, it’s nothing different from business . And in business, the first rule is to never be rude with your customers 」

The young girl continues her speech .

「 Kouzuki group has plenty of people working for them . They’re employees of the Kouzuki group during office hours . However, if it goes beyond that, they’re precious customers of Kouzuki group products . Grandfather always tells us “They’re the employees of Kouzuki group, and that makes them the first customers for the products of Kouzuki group” 」

That’s right .

If the people working for Jii-chan’s company says, “the other company has better products and service, let’s go buy there . ”

Kouzuki group will have no future .

「 The society may force its employees to buy in-house products, but the Kouzuki group doesn’t implement that rule . A forced purchase will not let you listen to any dissatisfaction or demands the employees have for the products 」

Ruriko smiled .

「 That’s Henry Ford’s ideology 」

Torii-san, who can’t read the mood, joins in the conversation .

「 Back then, when talking about cars, it’s a rich person’s luxury item . Henry Ford raised the salary of the workers on his automobile company, and the T-type Ford made cheaply was mass-produced, and so the workers were able to purchase one . He started with the people in his company, and soon after, cars became popularized with the public 」

Oh, I see .





「 The thought of “they’re just servants” no longer work at this age . We would like all the bodyguards to seek out the products of Kouzuki group as well 」

「 Indeed, the bodyguards are also guests for today, and so this is nothing but hospitality 」

Ruriko said . Misuzu takes over .

「 Dear guests, do enjoy the night according to your judgment 」

Your judgment .

That means, within their own master’s permission .

I see .

Misuzu isn’t treating the young ladies and their bodyguards as equal .

Instead, she’s sending a message that the bodyguards should also enjoy within the scope of their duty .

Well, the relationship between the young ladies and bodyguard is all over the place .

Some bodyguards are friendly with their young lady .

And some bodyguards came from loyal servant family .

This is a gathering of various young ladies, meaning…

And so, they unconsciously conform their strict rule from their family to their bodyguards .

The traditional formula where Master and Servants has a clear distinction between them .

The idea of not giving the bodyguards a glass for toast is proof .

But this is just a small gathering of the young ladies and their bodyguards with gentle relationships . So it’s reasonable to have everyone toast .

「 I, Kouzuki Misuzu, ask all of you to do so 」

「 I’d like to ask for the same 」

Misuzu and Ruriko bowed their head .

Yoshiko won’t show herself at times like this .

She’s lived as Ruriko’s attendant for a long time .

If she speaks as a representative of Kouzuki’s house at times like this, she’ll only receive animosity .

Therefore, Yoshiko-san leaves it to Misuzu and Ruriko, she backs off to not stand out .

「 If that’s what Misuzu-sama says… 」

「 Now, let’s toast once again 」

The young ladies who are close to their bodyguards are joined with their bodyguards .

The whole courtyard is filled with a gentle mood, but…

「 Wait!!! 」

Kanou-san seems to remain unconvinced .

「 You all seem to be deceived smoothly, but ordinary employees are different from bodyguards! 」

She protests .

「 Bodyguards are born from generations of servants! They’re SERVANTS! They will never be equal to us! 」

Shie-san says nothing while her Master says that .

「 That may be true to Kanou-sama’s house, but feudal houses aren’t everything at times like this! 」

Torii-san smiled .

「 Like, Haiji here, she’s hired by father using a contract . Overtime work and wages are all calculated beforehand 」

She looks at Adelheid-san behind her .

「 Yes, I act as Mariko-ojousama in accordance to the contract 」

Adelheid-san, the half-race yet black haired bodyguard, replied .

「 Torii house is modernistic . We’re not like Kanou-sama’s family, we live in the 21st century . You’re still in the last century, or should I say that you’re still tied up on the 19th-century class system . I think you’re too old-fashioned 」

Torii-san attacks Kanou-san .

「 Well, that’s because your family never had a family of vassals! 」

Kanou-san retorts sullenly .

「 Back at you, Kanou-sama . There’s nobody else who has the same traditional vassals, you’re trapped in your old-fashion thinking! 」

Torii-san sneered .

「 Oh, speaking of which, Kanou-sama’s family doesn’t manage a business . Therefore you can’t understand Misuzu-sama’s managerial ideology! 」

Kanou house is a noble family, but they don’t have a company?

Hmm?

Then, why do they hire a bodyguard even at this age?

Is it because Shie-san’s family serves them, and so they don’t need money?

Really?

Michi’s receiving payments from Jii-chan’s bank as Misuzu’s bodyguard every month .

「 Someone from Torii house trying to mock Kanou house? 」

Kanou-san glared at Torii-san .

Shie-san behind Kanou-san shows a scary face as well .

「 Torii house has multiple businesses . We’re responsible for our employees . We’re not like the other black family who prides with their past 」





Torii-san glared at Kanou-san .

Ah, Adelheid-san doesn’t care . She has no desire to fight .

「 Okay, that’s enough 」

Shou-neechan interrupts with a smile .

「 A Kouzuki house servant dares to order me?! 」

Kanou-san glares at Shou-neechan .

「 Yes . I’m an employee . And that is why I will have to stop you right there 」

Shou-neechan doesn’t break her smile .

「 I think Kanou-sama knows but, Kakka is at home today 」

Right, Jii-chan is in the mansion .

「 And I still am Kakka’s personal bodyguard 」

Kanou-san’s complexion changed .

「 Kakka is in his own house, and if Kanou-ojousama and Torii-ojousama were to cause trouble, it is a big problem for me 」

「 I-I understand 」

Kanou-san speaks in a small voice .

「 Yes? What did you understand? 」

Shou-oneechan pushes further, keeping the same smile .

「 I’ve said too much . I’m visiting Kouzuki-sama’s mansion, and yet, I’ve done something so discourteous . I’m very sorry! 」

「 Even if you tell me that, I’m just a servant… 」

Shou-neechan said . Kanou-san…

「 Misuzu-sama, Ruriko-sama, and everyone . I’ve shown something unsightly, I’m very sorry 」

She stands up .

「 Oh, where are you going? 」

Misuzu asks .

「 I will return home . Thank you for inviting me today 」

Huh? You’re going home now?

Just because you lost cool in an argument?

「 Do you think I’ll allow such selfishness? 」

Misuzu speaks coldly .

「 If I stay for any longer, it’ll bring shame to my house 」

「 And if you come home Kanou-sama, it will bring shame to Kouzuki house 」

Misuzu talked back .

「 Sakurako-sama, you’re the daughter of Kanou house, a family with longstanding tradition and lineage similar to Kouzuki house . Other families wouldn’t know why you went home when you were invited to the Kouzuki mansion, yet you returned home without receiving our hospitality… 」

「 Yes, Misuzu-sama, no it will be a disgrace for Kakka 」

Misuzu said . Shou-neechan added .

「 Sit down, Kanou-sama 」

「 I understand 」

Shou-neechan urged Kanou-san returned to her seat .

「 Torii-san, even if you two are close, having that kind of argument while everyone is watching will do you no good 」

「 I-I’m sorry 」

Misuzu scolds Torii-san, she apologized .

Close?

Kanou-san and Torii-san are close?

「 However, Misuzu-sama!!! 」

Suddenly, another young lady calls Misuzu out .

「 What is it? 」

Misuzu turns to that young lady .

「 In regards to what Kanou-sama mentioned . I have a question 」

The young lady responded .

「 Nii-san 」

Luna whispered .

「 Tendou-san pushed that one to speak 」

Luna is checking the minds of the young ladies in this place while clinging to me .

Tendou Otome is the Kansai Yakuza spy . Oh, she’s over there . Smiling .

「 A certain someone asked me, but, she’s wondering that the gathering today maybe Kouzuki house’s method of trying to open some evaluation on our bodyguards… 」

That’s problematic .

「 Finding the capable personnel among our bodyguards and hire them under Kouzuki SS . Young bodyguards for VIPs are high in demand, and so they’re dispatched with a high reward . And that becomes Kouzuki SS’ new business 」





The courtyard became noisy .

「 Is that true?! 」

「 Misuzu-sama, do you plan on taking away our bodyguards? 」

「 Evaluation? 」

Oh, Tendou Otome planted that .

Spreading bad rumors about Kouzuki house .

「 What’s the problem with that? 」

Misuzu went for the offensive .

「 Then, that’s true? 」

As soon as the young lady said that…

「 Well, how do I explain this? 」

Misuzu shows the best smile she has .

「 To begin with, Kouzuki SS has enough people wanting to get hired as bodyguards 」

「 But… 」

The young lady opposing Misuzu sends a glance to Tendou Otome .

Tendou Otome nods .

「 Kouzuki house is now searching for Ruriko-sama and Yoshiko-sama’s bodyguard, right? 」

The two don’t have bodyguards right now .

「 Huh? From our bodyguards? 」

「 They’re picking bodyguards for the two? 」

The other young ladies raised their voices .

Then, the eyes of the bodyguards who want to change Masters have changed .

「 Well, that’s a good argument, but… 」

Misuzu smiles .

「 Yoshiko-sama is in her third year, and I’m in my second year . Once we graduate high school, we will have adult bodyguards with us 」

Right, Yoshiko-san only needs half-year, and Misuzu only needs a year before graduating .

「 However, let’s say that it’s just a half-year remaining, but it would still be an honor for a bodyguard to serve Kouzuki house 」

「 You are correct, but it’s a question of whether we need it or not 」

Misuzu smiled .

「 Ruriko is still in middle school, and she’s at the same age as my bodyguard, Michi . I can ask Michi to become Ruriko’s bodyguard anytime 」

The bodyguards leaked a sigh .

「 Also, Michi is raising her own disciple 」

Misuzu looks at Yomi, who’s at Michi’s side .

「 Yomi, give your greetings 」

Yomi…

「 Yes! Yuzuki Yomi, 5th kyu in Kudou style martial arts! 」

Yeah, it’s my instruction to introduce herself as a disciple of Kudou arts .

「 Oh, that girl 」

「 That’s the girl that showed up on the exhibition match earlier 」

「 Oh, the one Kyouko Messer tossed around 」

「 Her breasts are big 」

Several of them spoke .

「 Yomi, where’s Luna? 」

Misuzu asks on purpose .

It looks like she noticed the reason why Luna’s disguised .

「 Luna’s still feeling sick after being thrown around in the air 」

Yomi said .

「 I see . It can’t be helped then 」

Misuzu smiled .

「 And as you can see, we have a rookie in training 」

Then, the ladies in the courtyard…

「 I-I see 」

「 She even tried to fight back Kyouko Messer 」

「 That must be her study as a bodyguard 」

「 To pile up some experience 」

Having them think that way helps out .

「 Well then, I’ll explain in detail why I opened up this gathering… 」

Misuzu begins to talk .

「 Our bodyguards, if it was in the old age, Kanou-sama would be right, each family would have bodyguards that serve them for generations, and they choose the daughter at the right age among them 」

And that’s Shie-san .

「 However, times have changed, and it’s no longer a vassal family for each noble house . As you can see, Torii-san’s family hires bodyguard according to their skills 」

Torii-san puffs her chest .

Adelheid-san remains expressionless .

「 My Michi here has her father serving Kouzuki house . The old family lineage of bodyguards for Kouzuki house is already gone . Grandfather started that when he established Kouzuki SS 」

「 That applies to my house 」

「 Me too 」

Oh, other bodyguard lineages don’t continue, like Shie-san’s .

「 And in this age, it comes to our mind that it might be better to use a system for our bodyguards 」

Misuzu said .

「 A system? 」

「 Yes, for example, if a ruffian tried to attack me in front of the school, Michi will protect me 」

Yeah, she’s Misuzu’s bodyguard .

「 But, what if Kanou-sama was next to me at that time? 」

Misuzu looks at Kanou-san .

「 Shie will protect me 」

「 That’s the natural course of events, yes . But, if Michi and Shie-san don’t cooperate, it will only cause danger to Kanou-sama and me 」

「 Shie is skilled 」

Kanou-san looked at Misuzu, offended .

「 Indeed . But don’t you think that it’s better if they know each other’s skills and follow up with each other? 」

「 Shie will protect me perfectly 」

Misuzu smiled .

「 Then, let’s change the situation . Kanou-sama and I…and 15 other students who don’t have bodyguards are attacked by 20 ruffians 」

She stared at Kanou-san .

「 No matter how many enemies there are, Shie will keep me… 」

「 And you don’t care about the other students, is that it? 」

Misuzu said .

「 Our school has nothing but daughters of noble houses . No matter how rich you are, if you have no lineage, you can’t enroll . And we, among all those daughters of noble houses, are allowed to bring in our personal bodyguard to school 」

She looks over at the ladies in the courtyard .

「 Don’t you think that it’s the duty of us, the nobles, to protect the other students who don’t have bodyguards? 」

Misuzu’s words soak into their heads .

「 If our bodyguards can cooperate, then they can deal with the situation, no matter what it is 」

Misuzu looks at Shie-san .

「 However, up until now, bodyguards only follow the respective families, and so they refuse to cooperate 」

「 That’s because they don’t want to get dragged to another house 」

The young lady talking to Misuzu earlier speaks up .

「 If the bodyguards were getting along, they might leak secrets from their house 」

And she’s purposely making everyone feel uneasy .

「 That’s a problem of attitude between us, their masters 」

Misuzu replied .

「 If you mistreat your bodyguards because you think of them as nothing but vassals, showing how sloppy you are without care, your evaluation will naturally lower 」

The young lady looks at Tendou Otome, but…

She doesn’t show any sign this time .

「 What’s essential is cooperation . Our bodyguards have to get along with each other 」

「 That’s a problem… 」

The one who said that is…

She’s in the same table as Misuzu, and yet, she stayed dwarfed the whole time…

Kurama Misato-san and Arisu-san’s bodyguard .

Anjou Mitama-san .

「 We do have individual secret techniques that we can never tell anyone 」

Huh?

「 Surely some villains will try to steal other family’s secret technique in the name of exchange 」

Kinuka-san nods .

「 Even if it is Misuzu-sama who says that we will never let our Anjou family secret techniques get stolen 」

Err .

It’s the same people who used Skylab Hurrican Mixer just earlier .

Can you really say that?
