Chapter 865.: 865.
「 I also want everything to go smoothly to keep my family safe 」





I replied .

「 Right now, we let someone do something that we can’t do . And that is a lot if you look at your daily life . I’m thankful to the people around me, and I don’t look down on them . If it goes poorly and I looked down on them, I don’t know how they will retaliate 」

Most people in this world are not my family .

I can’t oppose all of them .

「 Naturally, if I have to crush them, then I will do it thoroughly . This world has evil people you can never make a compromise by talking 」

Shirasaka Sousuke .

Cesario Viola .

「 But, not everyone is an enemy . That said, they’re no allies either . Most people are neither 」

For example, the students in our school .

They’re not in favor of us .

That doesn’t mean that they hate us to the bone .

Most of them are in a neutral state, hardly caring about us .

「 First of all, I don’t want to gather hate from the “ordinary people” I don’t need them to like us, but it’s a problem if they hate us . I might endure anything that they do if it was me alone, I can push it aside, but I’d rather not have my family get hurt 」

I’m not living alone .

『 So you compromise on coexistence with other people? 』

Jii-chan asks me .

「 It’s nothing as great as coexisting . My family is quite a unique and odd group of people if seen from the ordinary people’s eyes . If we want to stay alive, then we have lots to pay for . At least, I want to have some respect from the people . Well, of course, if it’s Yakuza or others, they don’t need to be aware of us 」

『 This way of thinking is something Kouzuki house needs, that’s what I believe in 』

The girls in the courtyard hear Jii-chan’s voice .

『 Misuzu, what do you think is the biggest problem you are facing? 』

Jii-chan asks . Misuzu…

「 It’s how we have this status despite not experiencing success ourselves 」

She replied immediately .

「 We were born nobility . We have bodyguards to keep us safe all the time, and we’re allowed to live in such luxury . However, all these wealth isn’t something we earned ourselves 」

『 Correct . And it’s not a problem for the younger generations . It also is a problem I face regularly 』

Personally experiencing success?

『 Born in nobility, we lived a blessed life . We never highly skilled, but we belong to the high-class . It just happened that we were born in a good family, and so we were blessed with a good life . I always wonder if this is okay 』

Jii-chan said . The young ladies became noisy .

『 If I was born in the branch family, or if I was the third son in the main family, then they might allow me to abandon this too-rich life . Just like your father, Misuzu 』

Misuzu’s father is Jii-chan’s third son, he left Kouzuki house and became an elite bureaucrat of the country .


「 No, Father may have moved forward with his way without becoming affiliated with the Kouzuki group, but he still used the name and lineage of Kouzuki house . Or should I say that he couldn’t run away from it, no matter what 」

Misuzu said .

Oh, even if he’s a government official, he’s still named as the third son of the Kouzuki head house .

「 Father works in the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology . However, still, he receives cooperation because he’s a member of the Kouzuki family . It isn’t just the political and business circles here, when he has some deals in Kyoto, most of them say “if it’s Kouzuki-san, then…” 」

Kouzuki house isn’t just a large enterprise, they also have history backing them up .

Nobility with history will have acquaintances all over . Connections . They’ll listen, even if it’s absurd .

Just because he became a government official doesn’t mean he can’t count on the power of Kouzuki house . He must have a lot of cases where he has to use it .





『 It’s the fortune those born from nobility brings, and also a curse 』

Jii-chan said .

『 Especially for me, the eldest child, it was decided that I will become the next head of the clan . I cannot end the family lineage with me . Also, there are generations of retainers in our house . Companies with the name of Kouzuki house have numerous workers . I had to protect Kouzuki house not just for me, but for the retainers and all the workers 』

The girls turned silent .

『 That is the responsibility of those who inherit the house . All I inherited is this old blood . It’s not the assets . Honor accumulated by ancestors for generations and thoughts of many people who worked for Kouzuki house and their companies is what I inherit . Some students applying for a position in the company this year had their ancestors served Kouzuki house 』

「 How did you respond to such people, Grandfather? 」

Misuzu asks .

『 I answer, “I know . Your ancestors have served Kouzuki house from Kyoto generations ago . I’m grateful for that . ” If people with a history like that appear in the final interview, then I have the secretaries investigate beforehand . That’s how I know about it when they suddenly bring it up while talking to me, and I show my gratitude to their ancestors . As a result, they pledge their allegiance to Kouzuki house . No, they can be applying for the company entrance test, but I cannot let them have the worse impression about Kouzuki house and its companies 』

Jii-chan’s going that far .

No, if he’s the head of nobility with a long tradition, it’s within the consideration of what he should do .

He knows their ancestors and is grateful for their loyalty, so they won’t hate Jii-chan .

Even if they can’t enter the company, they won’t blame Jii-chan .

『 Those remaining for the last interview in large scale enterprise means that they have the academic and skill to back them up . If they weren’t, then they won’t get hired no matter what…After picking a few people, the remaining students had to be told that they didn’t make it . However, those students will find employment somewhere else someday . It can be a rival company to Kouzuki house, or maybe somewhere wholly different . And in twenty years, they will become veterans . At that time, isn’t it better to leave the impression that “I failed my application, but Kouzuki is a firm company,” than have “Back then, I tried going in a company from Kouzuki, but I lost my face during the entrance test . ” ? 』

Jii-chan said .

『 In entrance tests, the company will always have a stronger status . However, that relationship won’t persist afterward . The student right now may become someone great . No, in the first place, the students are possibly customers who buy goods Kouzuki produces . And so, we cannot let the applicant have the wrong impression with Kouzuki for the rest of their lives . Even students have their families . They have friends . People increase their acquaintances as long as they’re alive . Then, that person can tell them: “Back then, I tried applying for a company and met the head of Kouzuki house,” and then continue his story . That’s what I fear 』

「 But, Grandfather’s always showing an angry look 」

Misuzu tries to break the cold atmosphere with her pleasant smile .

『 Well, of course . I’m not going to spoil the students . I’ll never laugh when they try to flatter me . I don’t have to like them . I’m the head of Kouzuki house, and so I want a stern, serious, and honest, and fair personnel . That’s a necessity 』

Fair people .

『 I can’t trust people who aren’t fair . That’s what I believe in 』

Oh, I see .

You can’t trust people who are trying to flatter others, trying to gain their favor .

They’re people who will go against the rules as long as they can have others show favor for them .

Anytime, with anyone, and with whatever situation .

But if it’s someone who can deal with the situation fairly, then that’s trustworthy for the time being .

People who waver depending on the person, on the case, on time, aren’t trustworthy .

That applies not to people but also companies .

「 Kouzuki Kakka’s going that far when paying attention to your speech and conduct? 」

Kaan-san asks .

『 That’s natural . I’m the head of Kouzuki house 』

Jii-chan’s laughing voice is heard .

『 Kaan-kun, what do you think is nobility? 』

This time, Jii-chan asks .

「 Uhm, in what way? 」

『 I’m asking why the nobility is nobility 』

Kaan-san…

「 That’s because their founder accomplished a great deed 」





Yeah .

All the nobility come from their first ancestor doing something great .

Then, gaining high rank, assets, piling it up, becoming the head of household .

『 That’s right . All of the nobility exist because of their first head . The first person experienced success himself 』

「 However, the succeeding generations, all continued to protect their family, and that is the reason for us to exist 」

Kaan-san tries to add in a hurry, but…

『 Even so, the most momentous one is the first one . After all, he’s only a commoner 』

Yeah, the first family head to become nobility was a commoner .

The second generation is succeeding in a somewhat grander house .

『 Therefore, the story of the first generation is mostly handed down as a legend . The second generation’s story is usually buried and forgotten . Tales of ancestors who rejuvenated the family after collapsing remain, but the first generation’s glory never changes 』

Jii-chan said .

『 That’s because the first-generation’s story of success is the only genuine personal experience . He’s the one to rise up from the commoners 』

Oh, it’s something like the story of the servant in charge of footwear taking over the country .

『 Doesn’t your family treat the first generation as special, even going as far as worshipping him? 』

「 It is as you say 」

Kaan-san replies .

『 Then, what are we now? Aren’t we all leaning into the peace from the heroic achievements of the first generation? Well, it’s still hard to continue and protecting a family that has grown large . As mentioned earlier, I know about it the most as I’m the head of Kouzuki house . However, is there worth our existence if all we do is keep the family safe? We do not have achievements nor the personal experience 』

Jii-chan’s voice echoes .

『 I believe you all know what happened with Kurama house 』

Kurama house .

Kurama Misato and Arisu-san’s house .

I wonder what’s the cause why the two cute young ladies are now going to become prostitutes?

『 Kurama house inherited the “Kurama Kaku,” which is a hotel business concentrating at weddings 』

Oh, I heard about the Kurama Kaku group . I heard that they’re a hotel group with great traditional inns and wedding halls .

So that’s what Kurama-san’s family is doing .

『 Kurama Kaku is formerly a Japanese style garden built for Kurama house . It became a traditional Japanese restaurant during the early Showa and used as a wedding reception is for noble marriages . Most political and business circles gather there . During my age, most families conduct their wedding reception banquet there . That building doesn’t belong to just Kurama house . It’s a precious location for us nobility as it has memories 』

Oh, if the influential people go to Kuromori tower at night for their under the table meetings…

Then, Kurama Kaku is the social gathering place during the daytime .

『 However, the current head of Kurama house is a young man in his 40’s . He let some unknown foreign groups invest in his business and took down the whole Kurama Kaku, an old Japanese style building . Saying that he’ll rebuild it to a modern high-rise hotel 』

Huh? I think that’s Kurama-san’s father, but…

He broke everything…

『 I stopped it . I told him to keep the Kurama Kaku . That it’s not something, he should do . We knew that the internal conditions of the foreign company investing group are suspicious . That it’s an offer that is too good to be true . We told him that if he was low on funds for the time being, then the Kouzuki group can lend him as much as he wants . I talked to the other heads of families about Kurama-kun . To cut off the relationship with the overseas group . To stop the stupid attempt to create a new building . To protect the beautiful garden of Kurama Kaku and their history 』

Jii-chan’s voice has a hint of anger .

『 However, that man told me, “If all I do is protect the old, then I don’t know what reason I was born for . ” “If I don’t challenge with a new hotel, then my life will not begin . ” Then, ignoring my warning, he declared severing connections with us old men . Suddenly starting the construction work, destroying all and turning it to an empty plot, and establishing a new hotel 』

Oh, he’s done it .

『 However, when the construction was half done, the funds from the foreign investors suddenly blows off . Instead of the cash flowing in, the sum of money is sent over to the overseas investors . “We will return it, let us borrow it for now,” or so they say 』

Oh boy .

『 The construction of the high-rise hotel stopped . However, it already used over a hundred million yen . The money let to the foreign investors isn’t coming back . And above all, the wonderful Kurama Kaku will never return to normal . He dug down to the basement to create the high-rise building 』





It’s all out .

『 That said, the half-complete hotel doesn’t have enough funds to finish it . If the new hotel doesn’t open, money won’t flow in . The traditional inn and wedding hall of the Kurama Kaku group lack in funds that they were in danger . He came to us, crying . “I’m begging you, please lend me money,” he said 』

When everything we going well, he said he would cut off his connections with Jii-chan…

『 However, neither my friends nor I can’t give him money . He’s gone that far 』

It’s not just Jii-chan .

He ignored other people’s advice and failed .

There’s no help .

「 Indeed, it’s a miserable story . Grandfather decided not to give any help to Kurama house 」

Kaan-san said .

Therefore, she was cold to the Kurama sisters .

Kanou house, the last of the big three don’t have the assets, just their history .

If Kozuki and Kaan house isn’t helping Kurama house, nobody else will .

『 By the way, Kaan-kun, do you know why Kurama house did something that foolish? 』

Jii-chan said .

「 That’s…because he was deceived by the honey words of the foreigners? 」

『 Then, why was it easy to fool him? 』

「 That’s… 」

『 That Kurama bastard wanted to experience success personally 』

Jii-chan said .

『 He’s born nobility, and he wanted to achieve success than to live under the glory of the first generation . Kurama Kaku is the symbol of the Kurama Kaku group . It’s an elegant and splendid building, and so, all the other traditional inns and wedding halls have its style . However, Kurama Kaku is what the first generation left behind . A beauty already consummated, it doesn’t show anything new . It’s not allowed to do so . The current head of Kurama house didn’t like to see what he inherited from the past remains in the future . It isn’t proof that he was born and lived on this earth . Thus, he thought of breaking the whole Kurama Kaku of the past and create a new high-rise hotel to leave his mark 』

Thus, he demolished the old Kurama Kaku and tried to construct a new hotel .

It’s the worst case .

「 He was someone who wanted to show a great accomplishment of what he’s done 」

That means he wants to personally experience success .

Ah .

「 Just like Minaho-neesan’s father? 」

I muttered unconsciously .

『 Indeed . Kuromori Kouichiro was the same 』

Minaho-neesan’s father inherited the Kuromori tower, a building his father built .

He forcibly took it away from his father and tried to dye it as his own .

But, he lacks in talent, and so Shirasaka Sousuke took command .

『 His case is easy to understand . His father was the first generation hero to earn fortunes . His father had experienced success . However, he doesn’t have that . He was insecure, and so he tried to forcibly achieve that personal experience of success 』

Minaho-neesan’s not saying anything .

『 It’s a typical story . Cases where it’s the relatives who drag down their family to collapse 』

「 Born as nobility, yet no experience of success, it makes them feel at a loss to why they’re in that status 」

Misuzu said .

『 That’s right . Misuzu, Kaan-kun, Kanou-kun, you should be careful with people you interact with 』

「 It is as you say 」

Kaan-san said .

「 Up until now, I’ve been scorning on Kurama-san’s father, wondering why would he do something so foolish, but, I think that someone in my family or I might do the same thing 」

『 You’re in high school, and yet, you’re managing three companies, don’t you have the same cause? 』

Jii-chan asks .

『 You think of your company as lessons in company management, don’t you? Where if the three companies don’t grow, then you will assess yourself 』

「 T-That’s… 」

『 I can understand that if you seriously want to manage that many companies but, they will not succeed . It may not go smoothly . The season was poor . You couldn’t gather personnel, things don’t move as expected . Those you plan to go smoothly aren’t doing well 』

Jii-chan said . Kaan-san looked down .

『 If you grow older, you’ll learn that life isn’t all victories . A person never losing doesn’t exist . However, for some reason, young ones prefer winning . They fear loss . If they fail once, they see their life-ending . Living means that you will lose a lot . Losing repeatedly is what makes winning as delightful as ever 』

「 K-Kouzuki Kakka… 」

『 Don’t turn to Kurama-kun . Don’t get others involved if you want to receive experience from personal success . What I fear is that if the people around you let you win that you start to misunderstand 』

「 Let me win? 」

『 That’s right . If the business of the young lady of Kaan house lost, then it will hurt her . They think that way, and so they use the power of the world of adults, and so your company can have achievements without you knowing . You misunderstand that everything is going as you expect, that your ideas and management policies were correct 』

「 What does that mean? 」

『 I see . For young ladies like you, you can’t find such wrongdoings right away . For example, handing over secret funds from Kaan house to another company to create mass orders on your company 』

「 T-That’s, absurd… 」

『 I’ve done that once or twice . And it’s a common occurrence 』

「 !! 」

Kaan-san shows a frustrated look .

Oh, it looks like she recalled a case .

『 Letting the subordinates do that means that your company can succeed, but you will not experience success personally . However, you will misunderstand that this world is easy . Then, that mistaken success you have will let you look down on your subordinates, clients, customers, and consumers 』

Kaan-san bites her lip .

『 See? I told you the same thing Minaho-kun told you . However, when Minaho-kun told you that, all you did was oppose her, but when the head of Kouzuki house told you, you reflect on it obediently 』

「 I-It’s embarrassing, I want to bury myself in a hole 」

Kaan-san says while blushing and on the verge of tears .

『 Worry not, Kaan did call me . “My granddaughter is reaching the age of conceit, so I gave her various advice, but she’s not listening to her grandfather . I think that my granddaughter would obediently listen if it’s from the head of Kouzuki house, however . She will be coming over to your mansion, please look after her,” he said 』

Kaan-san’s Grandfather called Jii-chan?

『 Kaan sent over antique brandy as thanks . Therefore, you don’t have to worry about it 』

Jii-chan says jokingly, but .

『 On the other hand, I want you to keep a secret from him 』

「 W-What is it? 」

Kaan-san asks .

『 I no longer drink brandy . He probably suggested it out of his mental image of when I was young and drinking alcohol 』

Jii-chan stopped drinking brandy after getting Ruriko’s father killed .

Kaan-san’s Grandfather didn’t know that .

『 Therefore, I thought of handing over the brandy Kaan gave me to Misuzu and that young man . Keep it a secret from him 』

Jii-chan said .
