Chapter 1281. Crushing Negatives / Breakfast Scenery
「 Hurry up and finish eating if you’re driving to school 」
Arriving in the dining room, Mana speaks loudly.
Our school is just close to the mansion, but…
But those who go to school for the young ladies have to ride in a car.
Naturally, it’ll take time to commute to school.
「 Agnes-chan, here! Here! 」
Luna called Agnes.
「 Okay! Papa! 」
Agnes turned to me.
「 Yeah, I got it. I’ll take care of the others. Today is Agnes’ first day in school so focus on that 」
「 Okay! Take care of them! 」
Agnes said and run towards Luna.
「 There’s no need to rush. The convoy will make sure we arrive before it’s time 」
Looking to the side, Shou-neechan has come in.
Oh right, Rei-chan is already driving Marika to her school.
So, Shou-neechan’s in charge of seeing off and picking up Misuzu and the girls.
Err.
Today, the girls who’ll go to the school for the young ladies are…
Misuzu, Ruriko, Yoshiko-san, and the bodyguard, Michi.
Agnes, Luna, Koyomi-chan, and Yomi, the apprentice bodyguard.
Mariko and Erica, who are not from the n.o.bility. Then, Haiji’s their bodyguard.
Karen and Sakurako, and Shiranui Shie-san who’s demoted from a bodyguard to seamstress.
She’s still Sakurako’s bodyguard.
Then, Kuromiya Motoko-san, a combat young lady, and her bodyguard, Mikuriya Kurumi-san.
That’s a lot.
I’m tempted to rent a large bus, but they’ll probably split into several luxury cars, attached with Kouzuki SS bodyguards, which will form a convoy that’ll take them to school.
But…
「 I want to take a day off from school 」
Kuromiya Motoko-san speaks with a gloomy face.
「 I want some time to think 」
Seems like she was quite shocked when Kyouko-san completely denied spearmanship as her reason of being.
「 Oh? We can’t allow such selfishness 」
Shou-neechan said with a smile.
「 I decide for myself. Seki-san has nothing to do with this 」
Kuromiya-san replied sullenly.
「 I don’t feel well today so I’m taking a rest! It’s decided! 」
「 Ugh, that’s a problem for us you know 」
Nei told Kuromiya-san.
「 If Kuromiya-san stayed over the Kuromori house and took a day off from school because she doesn’t feel well will make it look like we made Kuromiya-san eat something weird! 」
She said with a smile.
「 I-I didn’t say that 」
Kuromiya-san said, but…
「 But you know, didn’t Kuromiya-san say that you’ll serve as Yo-chan’s lowest seat concubine? Didn’t she say that, Yo-chan? 」
I…
「 Kuromiya-san, go to school. It’ll only cause trouble if you don’t go to school and stay here 」
I tell her clearly.
「 B-But… 」
「 Ya-chan is right. If you miss school this morning after staying in this mansion, it’ll only damage the Kuromori house’s honor 」
If Kuromiya-san is sent here as a watchdog from the Kuromiya house and other mid-sized n.o.ble families as she stated, then…
Surely, they’re to infiltrate the Kuromori house and check on how things are after one night.
「 If Kuromiya-san doesn’t go to school in good health, then won’t Kuromori house be suspected for doing something? 」
Like saying that Kuromiya-san is forced under house arrest.
Or that we already used the Miko power to make Kuromiya-san and her bodyguard our servants through mental modification so they can’t go outside.
「 Besides, if you’re going to take a day off for some trivial reason, then Onee-chan won’t forgive you 」
Nei said.
「 If you want to join us, then you’ll have to attend school properly! 」
No, look.
The one who skips lessons the most, the former delinquent Nei says that…
「 I’m not speaking as an employee of the Kouzuki SS but as a member of the Kuromori house. Go to school 」
Shou-neechan also puts on pressure on her.
「 Motoko-ojousama. They’re right 」
Mikuriya-san, Kuromiya-san’s servant tells her.
「 I-I understand. I’ll go to school! 」
Kuromiya-san finally yielded.
「 Okay, now go sit there and eat your breakfast! 」
Mana came out of the kitchen while wearing an ap.r.o.n and brought out the dishes for Kuromiya-san and the girls.
「 It’s ham and eggs plus salad, and Ai-chan made the special pastry 」
「 It’s a new product so tell us your impressions 」
Ai, who’s having breakfast at the table over there told everyone.
「 Well then, I should eat breakfast too 」
I look at the women sitting in the dining room.
Err, the open seat is…
Huh?
「 It’s been a while, how’s life? 」
This blonde blue-eyed beauty…
Miss Cordelia’s subordinate. Code Name Nikita Gorbachev.
「 Anya 」
It’s been since the end of summer vacation.
「 I met up with Kyouko-sama and Cordelia-sama in Southeast Asia. It’s almost time for the next meeting and battle with Reika 」
Anya appears on the special show where the setting is Rei-chan and the Kouzuki SS employees fight against Kyouko-san’s minions.
「 I had to talk to Shou so I wasn’t there in the garden with Kyouko-sama 」
So that’s why it’s just Kyouko-san, Miss Cordelia, Eenie, and Meenie.
「 Anya, the thing I asked you before… 」
Kyouko-san speaks to Anya while eating breakfast at the other table.
「 Yes. I understand. I’ll be the watchdog for the drill sisters 」
Anya told me.
「 I’ll watch over the girls so they don’t play pranks. Those girls listen to what I tell them 」
「 Edie can suppress those girls for sure, but she can’t get out of the cla.s.sroom during cla.s.s hours, right? So Anya’s going to take care of that 」
Kyouko-san told me.
「 Those girls think of me as their ally 」
Anya smiled.
Meaning, the girl a.s.sa.s.sins think of Anya as a senior subordinate under Kyouko-san’s command.
But…
「 You say that Edie’s in our cla.s.s, you mean that I have to take those girls in our school? 」
I asked Kyouko-san.
「 Didn’t I tell you? We want to show the peace of j.a.pan to Dolly and Anna. Isn’t it better to bring them somewhere you can see instead of leaving them here, right? 」
Well, that’s true.
If we go to school, then they’ll be left only with Mana and the girls who aren’t yet ready to go to middle school and Mao-chan, a toddler.
I’m worried about leaving them to Dolly and Anna.
Then, I should bring them to our high school instead.
That place has a lot of hidden spots so it’s not hard for them to find a place to stay.
「 Okay. Then bring them to our school 」
I agreed with Kyouko-san.
◇ ◇ ◇
「 Hamu, hamu, hamu 」
「 Hamumu, hamu!! 」
Dolly and Anna, who finished receiving Tsukiko’s suggestions;
They’re finally in the dining room, eating breakfast.
「 For now, I carved it into their minds that they must never harm the people in this house, our family 」
Tsukiko reported to me.
「 And I also wrote their absolute obedience to Kou-sama in their hearts 」
I guess we can work that out now.
「 If we’re taking them to school, then I’m also there 」
Tsukiko read my thoughts and said.
Tsukiko’s also going to become a student in our school starting today. It helps that someone with the Miko power will go to school with us.
But…
「 Hamu, hamu, hamu 」
「 Hamumu, hamu, hamumu 」
The drill sisters sure eat like it’s the best meal of their life.
I guess their food in Southeast Asia must’ve been bad.
「 Hauuu 」
Dolly tells Edie something.
「 She’s asking if we’re eating delicious food like this every day 」
Edie translates.
「 Tell them “Yes. You’re also going to eat the same delicious food from now on so get ready” 」
「 Okay! 」
Edie told the two, then.
「 ……!!! 」
「 ……!!! 」
Dolly and Anna got really surprised.
Then.
「 Kou, we’re going first 」
Mariko and the girls who changed to their uniform has come.
「 We’re going now, Papa! 」
Agnes and Luna in their uniform have come too.
「 Yeah. You girls look cute. It suits you 」
I look at Agnes and the girls wearing a cla.s.sic sailor uniform and said.
「 Take care 」
「 Okay! 」
Agnes smiled and kissed me on the lips.
Dolly and Anna looked at it curiously while eating.
「 Luna, Karen, Koyomi-chan, take care 」
I look at the girls of the same age as Agnes.
「 Leave it to us, Nii-san 」
「 I’ll guide everyone 」
「 I’ll do my best too 」
The three replied.
I kissed each of them.
Koyomi-chan’s the only one who kissed me on the cheek, meanwhile, Luna and Karen went for the lips.
「 Oh, that’s nice 」
Mariko said.
「 Mariko, come here 」
「 Ufufu, I was waiting for that 」
I kissed Mariko too.
Girls have different lips.
The texture, elasticity, moisture, and temperature, all of different
「 I’ll look after those girls 」
She told me that she’ll look after Agnes and the girls.
「 Let me take care of Yomi-san 」
Erica also changed to her sailor uniform and came over.
Yomi’s with her.
They’re both 14.
「 I’ll make sure that she’s well-received in the school 」
Erica’s popular with her seniors and juniors that she’s called the star of the middle school, so I don’t have to worry about Yomi.
「 Yeah, please 」
I kissed Erica too.
「 Yomi, I know that you’re not used to the place, but hang in there 」
「 It’s okay! Yomi got this! 」
I kissed Yomi.
Yomi presses her prided huge b.r.e.a.s.t.s on me.
「 Haiji, look after them 」
I told Haiji.
「 Michi’s known as the bodyguard of the Kouzuki house among the girls in the school so Haiji’s adaptability is required 」
Michi’s skill is exceptional, but…
If a va.s.sal of the Kouzuki house steps in whenever there’s trouble, then it’ll put too much pressure on everyone around.
From here on, Haiji’s presence as a member of the unit will be of great significance.
「 Yes, by your orders 」
I also kissed Haiji.
Then…
「 Well then, we’ll be going now Dear 」
Sakurako embraced me and kissed me intensely.
「 I love you, Dear 」
She calls me “Dear” in front of the other girls.
「 Oh? To think that she’s unmasked in just one night 」
Katsuko-nee looked at Sakurako and smiled.
「 Obviously. Sakurako’s a young lady of the Kanou house, one of the big three 」
Mariko, her cousin boasts about Sakurako.
「 I won’t run away anymore. I’m your woman now 」
Right, Sakurako is now walking her path.
The timid girl who’s holding back a bit towards Misuzu and Momoko-neechan is no longer here.
You can feel that she has the core strength to compete on equal terms with the ladies of the Kouzuki and Kaan house.
She offered her virginity to me and became my woman.
Women can change this much.
「 Shie, go ahead and say your greetings too 」
Sakurako told the girl who’s standing behind her.
「 Y-Yes, we’re going now 」
On the other hand, Shiranui Shie-san, Sakurako’s bodyguard since childhood.
She’s completely confused by her Master’s change.
She didn’t even show up at the morning practice.
Oh right. Shiranui-san is here not as a bodyguard but as a seamstress.
She’s lost confidence in herself that she’s feeling dispirited.
I want to do something about her but we don’t have time right now.
She’s going home today too.
「 Onii-sama, we’re going to school 」
「 We’re heading out 」
Ruriko and Yoshiko-san also come in wearing their school uniform.
Both of them have returned to their former relationship.
「 Yeah 」
I kissed Ruriko on the lips.
Yoshiko-san gets one on her cheek.
「 Master, I’ll keep our precious family safe 」
Michi, the main bodyguard of the young lady group told me.
「 Yeah, I have high hopes for you, Michi 」
I kissed Michi.
Then lastly, Misuzu comes.
「 Danna-sama 」
「 I’ll be watching you, Misuzu 」
「 Yes, I’ll do my best 」
The young lady of the Kouzuki house, a family that has great influence in the world of business and politics.
Those who have great power will have people cautious around them.
It’s an inevitability.
That’s why she has to keep trying to get people to accept her.
「 I’ll do my best too 」
The power Jii-chan gave me, Kouzuki SS.
People will fear me too.
Just like Misuzu.
But in my case…
Just as Kyouko-san advised me earlier…
With violence in my hands, I can’t escape from being feared and watched.
If that’s the case…
「 I finally figured out why Jii-chan is so aloof 」
Jii-chan never shows an opportunity to the people around him. He behaves deliberately to scare others.
People who have become powerful have no choice but to become that.
If Jii-chan moves carelessly, then the power on his hands will work on its own and affect all the people around.
For example, just because Jii-chan had an intimate talk with someone, that person will have their reputation raise highly as “they are the person the head of the Kouzuki house accepted,” and people who will bother and drag them down will appear. It can easily ruin people’s lives.
Therefore, Jii-chan stands aloof.
He has to stay in the high position alone as a cynical and scary person who puts pressure on those around him.
「 I think I’ll become someone like Jii-chan someday too 」
As I own the Kouzuki SS]
I have to become a man who’s ruthless, cruel, and scary, and never naive.
I have to become such an aloof character.
「 But, Danna-sama has Misuzu and everyone 」
Misuzu smiled at me.
「 Right, I have everyone 」
Misuzu embraced me.
Then, I gave Misuzu a kiss.
