Chapter 857.: 857.
「 I understand your sentiment, but… 」
Shou-neechan smiled at Shie-san wryly .
「 How about you think it over before talking about it again? 」
Shie-san’s startled .
「 Kouzuki SS is an organization under Kouzuki house, Kakka’s personal company . And, you think that we can hire a bodyguard of Kanou house for part-time work? 」
Kanou house has a rivaling status with Kouzuki house .
A bodyguard who protects such a family can’t have a side-job on a company owned by another family .
「 If you do that, you won’t just embarrass Kanou house, it will embarrass me who accepted you as well 」
Shou-neechan said .
「 There’s no side-job in bodyguard work . We can’t give you work during hours where your master is at school 」
Yeah, In case of a prolonged meeting of VIPs…
Shie-san couldn’t go home to welcome back Kanou-san .
「 I’m very sorry 」
「 Besides, we prefer men who have a fierce-look and good physique as uniformed bodyguards . Their job is to overpower the surroundings and have strange people avoid contact with them . If we have someone cute, wearing a schoolgirl uniform, I’m sure that the uniform fetishists will come for you 」
Yeah, like guys who love cute girls wearing uniform .
「 I’m not cute 」
Shie-san said .
「 Oh? From what I see, you look cute 」
Shou-neechan smiled .
「 We deal with criminals like Kyouko Messer after all 」
That’s right, Shou-neechan is a professional .
The weight of her job is different from an exclusive bodyguard who follows their Master all day .
「 At least, we can’t conduct business where you work for us as a side job 」
「 I’m very sorry for the impoliteness 」
Shie-san bows her head .
「 Although, if you want to leave Kanou-sama’s house and work for Kouzuki SS, then that’s a different story 」
Huh?
「 If that’s what you want, then I will assign you to another young lady . Your Master will change, but the contents of your job will stay the same . You won’t have to quit school either . The young lady I will assign you to also attends the same school 」
Shie-san will leave Kanou house and enter Kouzuki SS .
Then, she’ll dispatch as a bodyguard of another young lady?
「 Oh, but you can’t join our company and get yourself assigned to Kanou house . It would be similar to a big company selling out because they have financial problems . Yet, they remain on the same building as they renewed their lease contract . The world doesn’t work that way 」
If Shie-san leaves Kanou house and enters Kouzuki SS, it is a personal problem .
The bodyguard escaping Kanou house, which she served for years, would be a failure .
Kouzuki SS will gather some rumors about taking in a bodyguard from another house, but it’s not a big deal .
Other than being a personal problem, the idea that there were some trouble between Shie-san and Kanou house would show up .
However, If Shie-san affiliates herself with Kouzuki SS, yet, she continues as Kanou Sakurako-san’s bodyguard, then…
「 That creates more problems for Kanou-sama than me, right? 」
People will think that Kanou house is having problems with the cost of their bodyguards that they asked for Kouzuki house’s support .
Kouzuki SS paying up for Shie-san’s salary but, Kanou house might be paying up Kouzuki SS for their bodyguard service . Or Maybe, Kouzuki house is assisting them for free .
In short, they’ll see that Kanou house is having financial difficulties .
「 I devote my life to Kanou house 」
Shie-san said .
「 Right . Then, don’t say something that stupid again 」
Shou-neechan is smiling, but her words are harsh .
In the end, bodyguards who swore their loyalty to a specific house cannot have a side job as a bodyguard of someone else .
It’s known that if Shie-san were to bodyguard someone else and Kanou-san gets in danger, she will abandon her current Master and head over to Kanou-san .
「 I’m very sorry 」
Shie-san bows deeply .
「 Seki-san, I also apologize for her . My Shie is quite careless . However, Shie has done that due to my lack of virtue . Please forgive us 」
Kanou Sakurako-san bows her head to Shou-neechan, but .
Misuzu stretched out her hand to stop Kanou-san .
「 Kanou-sama, you mustn’t bow your head 」
She smiled .
「 Misuzu-sama? 」
Kanou-san’s surprised .
「 People are watching . They all seem to be having a pleasant talk while dining but, some of them are looking at us 」
Right .
We have lots of young ladies and their bodyguards in the garden party tonight .
We also have some Kansai Yakuza spies .
「 Seki-san came here to talk between servants . And so, we must pretend we didn’t hear what happened 」
Shou-neechan is older than Shie-san if we’re talking about their bodyguard duty .
It wouldn’t seem odd if Shie-san bows her head to Shou-neechan during their conversation .
I mean, Shou-neechan never takes off that smile of hers .
Looking from a distance, Shou-neechan, the site chief of Kouzuki SS, answered some questions Shie-san had, and so she bowed her head after .
Shou-neechan talked about Kouzuki SS, giving out training for the bodyguards earlier .
They’ll assume that Shie-san wants to join in the training, or she wants to practice with Rei-chan, along those lines .
However, if the young lady of Kanou house, Sakurako-san…
If Sakurako-san bows her head to Shou-neechan, a servant of Kouzuki house, then it will seem out of place . They will pay their attention .
And they’ll assume that something happened .
「 It is as you say . I’m sorry 」
Kanou-san said expressionlessly .
「 That conversation was between Seki-san and her . We didn’t hear anything 」
「 Me neither 」
Edie smiled .
「 Did you hear anything? 」
Luna and I shook our heads .
Adelheid-san as well .
Edie looked at Anjou Mitama-san and Kinuka-san .
「 We didn’t hear anything! 」
Kurama Arisu says, representing her elder sister, who looks down .
「 Now then, let’s return to the topic 」
Shou-neechan speaks with a bright tone .
「 It would be a problem if Adelheid-san were to have you as an opponent 」
Right .
Adelheid-san wants to show off her real strength .
Shie-san suddenly presented herself as an opponent .
「 Why? Can’t I fight her off as my apology for earlier? 」
Shie-san suggests a penalty for herself .
「 Geez . Look… 」
Shou-neechan sighed .
「 If you, from Kanou house, and the bodyguard of Torii house were to fight in the mansion of Kouzuki house, it will become a big deal! 」
Edie laughed .
「 Do you not get it? 」
Adelheid-san .
「 But Torii Mariko-sama already dismissed me? 」
「 That’s only convenient for you! The question of who brought you to this mansion still remains! Kanou house is on a higher status, you know?! If the bodyguard of that family suddenly picked a fight in the courtyard, then the blame goes to Torii house 」
I see . She’s right .
「 You shouldn’t think of your own convenience, think of other people’s standpoint as well . You’re such troublesome girls! 」
Edie admonished Adelheid-san and Shie-san .
「 Besides, you, who’s older, and have a proper master, has a more significant reason why you don’t want to lose compared to her . It’s not going to be a fair fight 」
Shie-san will join the fight with the responsibility of a Kanou house bodyguard in her shoulders .
Adelheid-san, who Torii-san dismissed, has nothing to lose .
Besides, Adelheid-san is still 13 .
Shie-san is at 17 .
「 Age difference has nothing to do with this . I will win anyway 」
Adelheid-san said, but .
「 The young ladies watching do mind 」
Yeah . They’ll say, “It’s natural that the older one will win against the small,” or “She cannot lose as she holds the honor of nobility . ”
And all the other thoughts .
「 Therefore, you cannot fight someone older than you and shoulder heavy responsibility! 」
Edie said .
But is there anyone like that?
「 Nii-san? 」
Luna clings on my legs .
Oh right, Luna’s 12 .
「 There’s nobody 」
Edie waves her hand .
「 If I recall, you’re 13 years old, right? 」
Edie points at Anjou Kinuka-san, Kurama house’s bodyguard .
「 M-Me? 」
Kinuka-san’s surprised .
「 Hey, what do you think after hearing our conversation? 」
Ruriko, who’s next to Misuzu, asks Kinuka-san .
「 I-I, no, I didn’t hear anything 」
Kinuka-san replies, but…
「 Earlier, you two tried to challenge Kyouko-san for your Master’s honor, right? 」
Ruriko asks .
「 That’s right . We showed our spirit to serve Kurama house! Right? Big Sis! 」
Mitama-san nods as her sister called her .
