Chapter 967.: 967. 「 Eh, Papa’s going out already? 」
Mao-chan shouts as she discovers that I’m heading out .
「 Sorry, this is some important job 」
Sonoko-san has Minaho-neesan, but…
Rie and Eri are mine to look after .
They’re my sex slaves .
「 Uugh, I thought we could play a lot today 」
Mao-chan said . Agnes .
「 Papa has his work . It can’t be helped 」
She speaks like an elder-sister to her .
「 Besides, Agnes has to play with Haiji-chan 」
Huh?
「 Haiji-chan just joined our family, and so Agnes and Mao-chan have to get along with her! 」
「 Ah, I see! 」
Mao-chan nods .
「 If we can’t do that, Papa will worry about Haiji-chan and he can’t do his work right! 」
Agnes is growing to become a good girl .
To think that this girl who never had communication with other people back then…
「 With that said, Papa, leave Haiji-chan to Agnes, Mao-chan, and Koyomi-chan 」
Agnes puffs her chest with pride .
Luna’s not here right now .
「 Yeah, please do, Agnes 」
I tell Agnes . Then, looked at Haiji .
「 Haiji too, look after them 」
「 Yes, leave this to me 」
Haiji bows her head .
She’s going to be Agnes and the girls’ bodyguard .
「 Then, let’s go . Shou-neechan 」
While I’m leaving the courtyard…
「 Danna-sama, please wait 」
Misuzu shows up .
She comes down from the second-floor terrace area together with Jii-chan .
「 Maybe you should take Mariko-san with you? 」
Torii-san?
Oh, speaking of which, I haven’t seen Torii-san ever since the entrance of the Anjou sisters
「 Torii-sama, how long are you going to hide over there? 」
Shou-neechan speaks to the bushes .
Then .
「 You noticed? 」
Torii-san shows up .
「 Yes . Of course 」
Shou-neechan smiles .
「 I mean, they’re scaring me 」
Yeah, the Anjou sisters purposely dashed in the middle of us to put Michi in check .
「 It’s okay now . They’re gone already 」
Katsuko-nee, Edie, Yomi, and Luna brought them .
「 We swept down all of the culprits for yesterday’s incident . There are no more dangerous people around the mansion . Even the place he’s going to right now 」
Shou-neechan tells Torii-san .
「 Mariko-san, if I recall, Kaan Momoko-oneesama told you to watch over everything that happens, hasn’t she? 」
Misuzu said .
「 You’re unable to leave the mansion due to the situation but it’s all clear today 」
Last night, Tendou Sadao and Irokuchou Ichirou’s Yakuza groups were at the old training building of Kouzuki SS .
Also, we didn’t know what Tendou Otome would do either .
However, Yakuza’s gone now .
Tendou Otome shouldn’t have any will to fight for now .
「 Since it’s an opportunity, you should try to look at various things . Of course, you will have someone to protect you . Michi, keep Mariko-san safe 」
Misuzu calls Michi .
「 I… 」
「 I’m not going outside so I don’t need a bodyguard . I’m in Grandfather’s home, Ootoku-san’s in here . Yazawa-san’s come too 」
「 Yes . He switched with me and is now taking command . I passed the baton to him 」
Shou-neechan said .
「 I will substitute with Reika over there . I took a nap but Reika’s still on duty 」
Then, Shou-neechan looked at me .
「 Minaho-san too . She’s been leading the team manipulating information over the internet, or should I say that she’s most busy at this moment . Mass Media’s moving around in Kansai after all 」
Tendou Sadao and his group returned to Kansai via rental cars, and since they’re under the Miko power’s influence, they will not go down quietly .
They should be rampaging against the bosses who sent them to Tokyo .
While at it, Kyouko-san’s also making her move .
If it creates big news, it’ll make noise over the internet .
Minaho-neesan’s job increases .
「 We have to hurry then 」
If Minaho-neesan can’t move around because she’s still manipulating information…
That means nobody’s looking after Sonoko-san and the other girls
「 Michi, Torii-san, let’s go 」
「 Err, I… 」
Torii-san looks confused .
Haiji, the girl she relies on, isn’t coming She’ll be separated from Misuzu and the other young ladies .
She doesn’t trust a man who isn’t from nobility, like me .
Therefore .
「 You’ll never see the truth if you stay here . You have to see what truly happened with your own eyes 」
I provoked her .
「 Well, not that I care if Torii-san doesn’t want to see it 」
As expected, Torii-san gets offended .
That’s what’s easy about her .
「 I’m going! I’m going to see all of it 」
But, yeah .
Torii-san’s making that curious face again .
◇ ◇ ◇
We head to the car…
Tsukiko’s waiting for us . She’s wearing a shrine maiden clothing .
「 I’ve been waiting 」
Tsukiko bows her head .
「 Tsukiko, you want to go too? 」
「 Shouldn’t you have a bodyguard and a shrine maiden accompany you? 」
That old training building is no longer dangerous .
However .
Right, I guess I should have one shrine maiden who can read minds with me .
I don’t know what kind of reaction will the daughters of Yakuza have after they discover that their parents are dead .
「 Yeah . Come with us, Tsukiko 」
「 Yes, Kou-sama 」
We get inside the Kouzuki SS car .
Shou-neechan takes the driver’s seat .
Michi takes the passenger seat .
Tsukiko and I take the second-row seat .
Then, Torii-san sits down on the rear seats .
「 Huh, speaking of which, Torii-san, you’re still holding that 」
Torii-san is still holding the victory hammer Edie handed her for training .
「 It’s for self-protection . Something like this might prove useful 」
Oh, she’s anxious as expected .
She’s going on a place without Misuzu watching nor her bodyguard .
「 Come to think of it, Torii-san, you’re still wearing a maid uniform 」
She’s still wearing the same maid uniform jus like Misuzu from earlier .
「 Don’t mind this! 」
Although, I’m also still wearing my training clothes .
Exercise makes you sweat a lot, besides, I had sex this morning .
The plan was to take a bath after training .
Do I smell?
「 It’s okay . Nobody minds it 」
Tsukiko read my thoughts and replied .
「 Instead, I think that the manly smell is better on the place we’re heading to 」
I don’t get what she means by that .
「 Okay . Let’s depart 」
Shou-neechan drives the car off .
「 There were some people still watching the Kouzuki mansion’s circumference until this morning but they’re gone now . They’ve retreated 」
Shou-neechan says before we exit the gate .
Yeah, there’s always some guys looking at the cars leaving the mansion .
「 Those are people from the organizations in Tokyo that the Kansai people are friends with but they gather information to make the Kansai people indebted to them 」
It’s confirmed that the Kansai dispatch tare only Tendou Sadao’s group and Irokuchou Ichirou’s group only .
「 But, they no longer need it 」
Shou-neechan’s lips in the rear mirror smiles .
「 The Kansai organization hostile to Kouzuki house was annihilated . Tendou-san and his followers all died . Kyouko-san already blew up and set fire on the primary institutions of our enemy . Their gambling dens, narcotics, and even their offices all at once . Irokuchou Ichirou-san went straight to the police station and confessed to everything, their murders, theft, and all the information they have on their group 」
Their organization collapsed .
「 The boss lost his workplace, and the Yakuza’s weakened . Their gathering flag and their gathering spot are gone . There’s no force left to deal against the Kouzuki house . Their resistance is over . What’s left is for Miss Cordelia to clean them up 」
Miss Cordelia, an influential woman in Los Angeles’ underground society .
「 Kouzuki house is from nobility, and so they can’t make contact with the underground society . That’s how it will be 」
Up until now, Jii-chan has some connections with people from the underground society .
However, when it becomes Misuzu and Ruriko’s generation .
It’s not good to let those girls make contact with the underground society people directly .
There should be someone in between them .
Furthermore, it has to be someone who has no ties to the underground society of Japan .
「 Japan’s a country that will use external pressure to destroy the vested interests . You won’t think of that as a good thing but it’s inevitable 」
Miss Cordelia will penetrate her foreign forces to where the Kansai organization broke .
When the American underground society groups invade, the remaining Kansai organizations will get busy defending themselves .
They should be weakened this morning .
They’ll have no time to deal with Kouzuki house hereafter .
No, underground societies in Japan will no longer oppose Kouzuki house .
If they deal with them poorly, the retaliation is absurd .
They will be destroyed .
This way of punishing to make an example for others has succeeded .
It resulted in sacrificing a lot of lives .
「 Uhm, what’s going on? 」
Torii-san asks .
「 Do you remember the Kansai Yakuza’s spy who infiltrated as Mizushima house’s bodyguard? We’ve destroyed the organization that sent that spy 」
「 I see . That’s great . That was fast 」
Torii-san listens to my reply with slight annoyance .
「 So, how many died Shou-neechan? 」
「 43 」
「 Huh? 」
Torii-san’s surprised .
「 As expected of Kyouko-san . No ordinary people got killed . All of them were affiliated with Yakuza 」
Tendou Sadao’s group boss, and all the Yakuza around them .
And all the other allies who happened to be in the place .
「 It’s complete annihilation . Of course, there will be casualties 」
「 Ah, I-I see 」
「 But, there will be no more Yakuza trying to make a move on the young ladies of nobility . This happened just because they sent in a spy 」
Shou-neechan said .
「 Right… 」
Torii-san’s frightened .
「 We’re going to meet the daughters of the late Yakuza . We’re going to tell them that their parents are dead 」
「 W-Why? 」
Torii-san asks me .
「 I have to do so 」
Then, Tsukiko;
「 He has a higher status than them and it’s the duty of those who have a higher status to deliver 」
She smiled at Torii-san .
「 Noblesse Oblige? 」
「 Correct . And Kou-sama’s the man of nobility 」
Give me a break .
What part of me is noble?
I’m just doing what I can .
「 Uhm, Shou-oneesama 」
Suddenly, Michi speaks up .
「 I’d like to consult you with something, May I? 」
「 Sure, but everyone’s listening 」
「 That’s okay 」
That means, she’s putting it as herself consulting with Shou-neechan .
But, she wants us to hear it too .
But, in the end, it’s just her talking to Shou-neechan .
She doesn’t want to say that it’s her comment .
「 I feel a little impatient recently 」
Michi said .
「 Edie picked Haiji-san as her disciple . Therefore, I thought of picking up my own promising disciple for Master’s family 」
「 Hey, Haiji isn’t that foreigner’s disciple! She’s mine! 」
Torii-san speaks arrogantly when the other party isn’t a daughter of nobility .
She only sees Michi as Misuzu’s servant .
「 Please quiet down for now 」
「 Ngu?! 」
Tsukiko seals Torii-san’s mouth with her Miko power .
「 Please go ahead, Michi-san 」
She smiled .
「 Thanks for the help 」
Michi replies gloomily .
「 Oh well . That’s why Michi-chan gave the Anjou sisters a test? 」
Shou-neechan said .
Right . Michi talked about her plan of taking the Anjou sisters as her disciples .
「 I misunderstood 」
Michi said .
「 The sisters have talent . They have discipline . Their skills are certain . However 」
「 Their personalities don’t suit the job 」
Shou-neechan said .
「 Yes . It’s a surprise . Anjou house has been the bodyguard of Kurama house for generations, and so I thought that their family taught them the pride as a bodyguard 」
「 True . If you think only of your Master’s safety, that means that you’re not doing your job well 」
Shou-neechan’s in charge of Kouzuki SS on-site, the organization whose job is to protect the nobility .
She knows that more than anyone .
「 But, it’s comparable . People who think like those two . Well, in the end, they’re dismissed by their employers and become dropouts . No matter how skilled they are, if they can’t coexist, then they’re expelled . If the bodyguard protects their Master but abandons everyone else, it’ll only lower their Master’s reputation 」
That’s true .
「 Do you think I can mend them with my guidance? 」
Michi asks .
「 The possibility isn’t zero, but I think that you should stop . At least, I…Kouzuki SS will not hire Anjou-san 」
Shou-neechan said .
「 Their personality is their way of life, and so, you can’t meddle with it that easy . And they won’t change that easy either 」
「 However, I’m aware that I’ve changed a lot after my encounter with Master . Everyone else too… 」
「 I know that too . But, that doesn’t mean that everything’s changed, has it? He changes people he makes contact with for the better but the base foundation of our personality hasn’t changed . The problem is in their foundation 」
True, Mich’s changed but she’s still Michi .
She still has that dignity and elegance from when I first met her .
「 Those girls are fundamentally not suited as bodyguards . They have no interests with people other than their Masters . They hardly care about the feelings of the people around them . Anyway, they have a very narrow outlook . It’s fatal to let them become bodyguards 」
I think so too .
「 Maybe they can learn how to be cautious around her by training them military-style but it still won’t be enough . Even armed forces take out people whose carelessness is incurable 」
「 Is that so? 」
「 In the end, it’s about the right person in the right place . There’s no such personnel who starts fresh and matures with just training . You have to look at the base personality, make that grow instead . Right? 」
Shou-neechan calls me .
「 What do you want the Anjou sisters to become?> 」
「 Performers 」
I answered immediately .
They love attention, and they are always flashy .
「 Kukuku, I thought of the same thing 」
Shou-neechan laughs while handling the steering wheel .
「 Anyway, they’re born from a family of bodyguards and so they’ve been bodyguards so far, but they’re not suited for the job . I can attest to that 」
Yeah .
Either way, they’re not suited to face Michi, who’s always earnest .
「 Right . Michi-san’s the most suited person for the role of keeping Misuzu-sama’s safe since ordinary people don’t pay attention too much on you 」
Michi’s petite and cute, no ordinary person can see that she’s a bodyguard .
When she’s with Misuzu, she holds enough sweetness and elegance that it doesn’t seem strange .
Michi’s best as a bodyguard .
「 However, someday 」
Michi .
「 Right . Once Misuzu-sama becomes an adult, she will need an adult, a person everyone can identify as her bodyguard . Someone that will make criminals stop their approach because of such person is with her 」
Shou-neechan said .
「 Just like Ootoku-san who’s Kakka’s bodyguard 」
I see .
She’s still a student right now and so having a muscular guy as her bodyguard will look awkward .
Therefore, it’s better to see a girl like Michi as a bodyguard .
But, once Misuzu’s becomes an adult and she starts working .
It will look weird if she walks along with Michi, a cute girl .
As expected, she will have a bodyguard suited for the successor of Kouzuki house .
「 Am I not suited for this? 」
Michi speaks lonely .
「 Am I just like the Anjou sisters? I have the skills but I’m not suited as a bodyguard? 」
Shou-neechan;
「 I don’t know about that 」
She speaks brightly .
「 After all, can’t you see? I’m also a woman, and am Kakka’s personal bodyguard 」
「 That’s because Shou-oneesama’s physique is exceptional 」
「 Don’t call me a gorilla . I’m 176cm but I don’t have macho muscles . I’m careful about that 」
Shou-neechan’s body has a splendid proportion .
「 But I’m short 」
Michi feels down .
「 Hey, Michi-san . Aren’t you still 15? You’re still in your growth period . Mana-san is growing taller ever since she started her program 」
Mana’s aiming to become a supermodel, therefore she’s using a program to ripen her body through diet and exercise .
「 I also take the same program but I’m not growing at all 」
Michi;
「 My breasts didn’t even increase a single millimeter 」
I-I see .
「 Do you not get it? People have different growth degrees . It worked with Mana-chan right away, but it’ll take time with Michi-san, it’s highly likely
「 However 」
Shou-neechan sighs .
「 If you keep thinking negatively, it’ll affect your mind the same way . You mustn’t do that . Your dark mood will affect others 」
「 I’m sorry 」
「 Instead of thinking that way, think of what’s your ideal body? What kind of girl do you want to become? 」
Shou-neechan speaks brightly .
「 I’m not talking about just the bodyguard life . Put that aside, think of a life other than a bodyguard 」
「 What? 」
Michi’s dumbfounded .
「 I-I can’t imagine a life other than Misuzu-oneesama’s bodyguard 」
「 Then you’re the same as the Anjou sisters . They can’t imagine a life other than being the bodyguards of the Kurama ladies, and look how messed up they are now 」
「 But I… 」
Michi’s also a girl born under martial arts .
She feels that it’s her life task to become Misuzu’s bodyguard .
「 Of course, I will ask you to continue your job . The world may not notice the bodyguards but if they see Michi-san’s worth as a bodyguard, you can still do other things, can’t you? 」
Shou-neechan said .
「 You may want to work in the bakery together with him, maybe, become everyone’s mother in home 」
「 M-Mother? Me? 」
Michi’s surprised .
「 I mean, everyone’s going to bear his child, right? If they grow up, they’ll need to go to kindergarten, and shouldn’t the children have a strong mother who knows martial arts to drop them off and pick them up? 」
Michi will become a cute mother .
「 As mentioned earlier, it’s about the right person in the right place . It’s about what you can do and what you want to do . Think about your feature and find what’s most suited for it . You don’t need to worry too much about it…Humans become what they have to be 」
Shou-neechan said .
「 Get yourself together, Kudou Michi-san 」
「 Uugh 」
Michi looked at me .
「 Master, I… 」
I…
「 We’re still family, no matter what path Michi chooses, I’m myself, Michi’s still Michi, right? So don’t worry about it . Take your time considering . Either way, we’re going to need Michi as our bodyguard for now 」
「 Yes 」
「 You still have a year until Misuzu graduates, and Ruriko still needs three more years . Michi still has some time in school, so you can take your time and think about what you want in the future 」
「 Certainly 」
「 But, don’t set yourself in it . You have other paths other than becoming a bodyguard 」
I said .
「 Take interest in various things . And, concern yourself with those interests . And I’m sure that you’ll be able to see what you want to become 」
Then .
「 Kou-sama too 」
Tsukiko?
「 The bakery is Katsuko-sama’s dream . Kou-sama, I think that it’s about time you find your own dream
