Chapter 1339. Check / Age Difference
「 Dono-sama, I’ve been disowned from the Kuromiya house 」
Kuromiya house seems to have sent their official notice.
After returning from the TV station to the mansion, I changed clothes and went to the dining room.
In the dining room, Misuzu, Ruriko, Sakurako, and Mariko and Erica, the girls from the school of the young ladies have gathered, worried about Motoko.
「 What do I do now? 」
I smiled at Motoko.
「 Just stay with us 」
I replied honestly.
「 Shou-neechan’s already negotiating with the Kuromiya house stubbornly. 」
I look at Shou-neechan who’s talking to the phone in the dining room.
Shou-neechan’s still wearing her work suit.
「 Yes. They’ve told me that I can keep the Kuromiya house’s family treasures, such as the spear, which I took from home. I’ve been given permission to use the family name, and continue being the master of the Kuromiya style. I can go to school just like before 」
In the end, Motoko’s a young lady of the n.o.bility.
Yukino made some problematic statements on TV.
Eri, and Rie, the daughters of Yakuza.
Arisu of the Kurama house, which has been removed from the n.o.bility. They have deemed their appearance on TV as shameless, and so…
Naturally, that’s fatal for a daughter of the n.o.bility. Any talk of matchmaking with other families will collapse.
However, since Kuromiya house is a n.o.ble family, it would be shameful to have their daughter married to a non-n.o.ble family.
Thus, the realistic approach would be to disown her and place her in the Kouzuki house’s custody.
「 My friends in school may look at me coldly because I’m disowned, but I think that this is for the best 」
Motoko said.
Yeah, that could happen in their school.
At least, her friends among the daughters of n.o.bility will decrease.
「 That won’t happen. Motoko-oneesama and Kurumi-san are very dashing and stylish 」
Today, Erica’s staying over.
Erica and Mariko are already in their pajamas, just waiting for us to come home.
「 I’ll start a campaign. I’ll let everyone know that Motoko-oneesama’s working hard to preserve her family skills for the future generations 」
Hearing those from the most popular girl in middle school on their campus is rea.s.suring.
「 Ruriko and I will also talk to everyone. We’ll tell them that Motoko-san appeared on TV because she sincerely wants to keep the art of spear fighting 」
「 Yes, your family is currently in an awkward relationship, but you definitely love your family more than anyone else 」
If Misuzu and Ruriko of the Kouzuki house can help, then the daughters of n.o.bility are less likely to cut ties with Motoko.
Everyone already knows that Motoko’s a strange girl who’s devoted to the spear.
「 Being married off to another family regardless of our will is something we’ve been afraid of since we were children 」
Ruriko said.
「 Once they discover that; If not for the “outrage” like appearing on TV, Motoko-oneesama would be married off to another family for the Kuromiya house, and she will no longer be able to use her spear that she loves… 」
「 Yes, I’m sure that they will understand how Motoko-san feels 」
Ruriko said. Misuzu agreed.
「 Indeed, I think that many were relieved to see Motoko-san’s resolute att.i.tude 」
Sakurako, the young lady of the Kanou house, speaks.
「 And, I feel refreshed too. I’m glad that you’re free from the shackles of your home 」
Sakurako’s cousin, Mariko has said.
Mariko’s in a delicate position where she’s related to the n.o.bility but she’s not a member, and so she’s particularly sensitive to the issues of the families.
「 I’m just happy. Motoko-oneesama’s joined our family, and Kurumi-san also joined in 」
Erica said.
「 Yomi-san, come over here 」
She calls Yomi, who’s watching Agnes and the girls prepare across the table.
「 Okay! 」
Yomi, wearing her pajamas, comes to us, with her huge b.r.e.a.s.t.s shaking.
「 Kurumi-san, sit next to me 」
「 W-What? 」
Erica and Yomi, then Kurumi.
「 Agnes-chan has her young group, the twins have their middle-school group active recently, and now that there’s three of us 14s in the same school, we should make team 14! 」
Erica said.
「 Kurumi-san is Motoko-oneesama’s attendant, but you’re quite the cutie that you must have some hidden fans in the school. Then, Yomi-san, who just transferred in is also getting a lot of attention! Yomi-san’s a beautiful woman, and more importantly, her large b.r.e.a.s.t.s are charming 」
So says Erica, the one with fans all over the school, where the older girls want her as their little sister, and the younger admire her as their big sister.
「 Yeah, that looks good. There’s three of you in school after all 」
I said.
Eri, and Yomi, the two of the most popular girls on their own gather, some might start to feel jealous, but…
If you add Kurumi, the fluffy-type beauty, and make it a trio, they will look stable.
The three of them aren’t daughters of the n.o.bility either.
Yomi is set as Agnes’ attendant, Kurumi is following Motoko. So it won’t be weird if they get along.
「 Motoko, you don’t mind? Kurumi’s going to strengthen her bond with the other family 」
I tell Motoko, Kurumi’s master.
「 Indeed. Kurumi also need to strengthen her bonds not just with me, but with everyone else too 」
Motoko said.
「 Then that means, Motoko-san will be in my Team 17 」
Misuzu smiles.
Right, Motoko’s also a year older than me. Actually.
「 If that’s what Otono-sama and Motoko-ojousama says 」
Kurumi looked at Motoko and me and said.
「 I’ll do my best to fulfill my role 」
「 Geez, don’t be so stiff! 」
Erica told Kurumi.
「 That’s right, we’re a family, sisters. And so let’s help each other out and be friendly. That’s all you need to do 」
Yomi said with a bright smile.
I…
「 Mana! If you’re in the kitchen, then come here 」
「 What is it, Onii-chan? 」
Mana wearing pajama and ap.r.o.n comes from the kitchen.
「 Erica, Yomi, and Kurumi are going to different schools, but since Mana’s also 14, you’re joining team 14 too 」
I’m worried that Mana becomes alone.
Even in the new middle school, the twins are in their first year, and Mana’s the only one in her second year.
「 Huh? I don’t need it 」
Mana said.
「 But you girls are in the same age, despite being in a different school, and you girls are family so you should get along with them 」
「 That’s right, it’s what Sensei says 」
Yomi said.
「 I also wanted to be friends with Mana-san all this time 」
「 Me too. I’ve only been here for a short time but I think that Mana-san is beautiful, and a good housewife, and that there are a lot of things I don’t know yet. That’s why I wanted to be friends 」
Erica said.
「 Me too, it’s an opportunity so I want to be closer 」
Kurumi said.
「 And so, why don’t you become the leader of team 14, Mana-san? 」
Erica puts Mana as the senior of my women.
She knows what to do.
「 You should accept it after hearing them go that far, Mana 」
I smiled.
「 Yeah, I get it. If Onii-chan asks me, then Mana will follow 」
Good.
「 But, if that’s the case, isn’t Motoko-san and my team 17, the weakest of the group? 」
Misuzu asks.
「 Err, wait a second. Let’s summarize this first. Kou, what are the ages of the girls in the family? 」
Mariko asks.
「 Err, Minaho-neesan’s… 」
I speak up.
「 You can put the adult group in just one pile. Don’t talk about our age please 」
Katsuko-nee whispers from the side.
「 Nagisa and I are still young, but Minaho-ojousama… 」
Yeah, Katsuko-nee and Nagisa are 21.
Minaho-neesan;
『 Hey, Katsuko! 』
Minaho-neesan’s voice comes from the speaker.
Oh, she’s listening.
「 So, let’s keep it with the high-school and below 」
Katsuko-nee laughs.
「 Err, first, Tsukiko-oneesama is 18, and is in the third year of high-school 」
Yomi goes back on topic in a hurry.
「 Nei-oneechan’s also 18. Although, she’s in her second year, instead of third 」
Mana said.
I mean, Nei isn’t even registered in school so she can’t graduate from her third year.
「 Then, Mitama-san is also 18 」
Mariko said.
「 Yoshiko-oneesama is also 18. Although, she hasn’t devoted her everything to Onii-sama yet 」
Ruriko said.
Speaking of which, she’s not here. But Arisu’s sister, Misato, is also 18. She’s currently a prost.i.tute cadet.
「 The 18s are scattered. I think it’s going to be hard for them to form a team, right? 」
Mariko said.
「 But, Tsukiko and Mitama-san goes to Onii-chan’s school, and Nei-oneechan is a student there too, so I guess they’re gathered anyway 」
Mana said.
「 Then, the next one is team 17. That’s Motoko-san and me 」
Misuzu begins counting.
「 Shie hasn’t devoted her everything yet, but she’s also 17 」
Sakurako replies.
Sakurako’s former bodyguard. Our current seamstress, Shiranui-san is 17.
「 Also, Kana. She’s 17! 」
Mariko, who gets along with Kana-senpai, has said.
「 Huh, is that all? 」
「 That’s not a lot of 17s 」
Mana and Misuzu said.
「 It’s okay. Momoko-oneesama and Yamada Umeko-san are both 17
Mariko smiled.
「 Well, we still don’t know what Kou will do with Momoko-oneesama, but… 」
That’s…Hmmmm.
「 Okay, now team 16! We have a lot here! 」
Mana continues the conversation.
「 First of all, Onii-chan is 16, Yukino-oneechan, Mana-oneechan, Megu-oneechan, Edie-chan 」
「 Sakurako and I are also 16 」
Mariko said.
「 Marika-oneesama is also 16 」
Erica talks about her sister from a different mother. Marika’s in her dorm so she’s not staying here today.
「 Team 16 is split between Onii-chan’s schoolmates and young ladies. I think that they should stick together more 」
Mana urged.
「 Oh? But we do get along, yes? 」
Mariko said, but…
「 Well, Mariko-oneechan, have you spoken to Ai-oneechan? 」
「 That’s…well, that girl doesn’t speak at all! 」
「 Well, how about Megu-oneechan 」
「 Sometimes, we do. Like, pa.s.s the soy sauce or something 」
Hmmm.
「 I’m not good at dealing with them, and I don’t think Megumi-san is either 」
Misuzu said.
「 It’s about Ruri-oneechan’s level, she’s a young lady, yet, she gets along with us 」
Mana’s right.
Ruriko’s been desperately learning housework in the mansion for the past six months and Megu and the girls have accepted her.
「 I know that I have to make compromise 」
Misuzu’s started cleaning up the toilets every morning recently.
She’s hoping to get closer to the family that she hasn’t gotten to know yet.
「 Mariko too, you’re friends with Kana-senpai, so you should be able to get along with Megu and the girls 」
I told Mariko.
「 Well, Kana’s fun 」
That means that to Mariko’s eyes, Megu and Ai are ordinary schoolgirls, and aren’t as interesting
「 Megu and Ai are also interesting, you’ll find them when you look for it 」
I said.
Just like the team 18. Team 16 also needs some harmony.
「 Following, team 15. Michi and me 」
Ruriko said.
「 Wait, it’s just two, right? 」
Mana said.
「 Oh, you’re right. We need to increase our group further 」
「 No, no, don’t force inflation Ruriko 」
I told in panic, but.
「 No, Onii-sama, we’ve talked about this before but I have someone I want you to meet 」
Err.
「 That’s for another day, I’ll refrain for now 」
Ruriko smiled.
「 Then, we have team 14! Mana-san’s the leader, then Yomi-san, Kurumi-san, and I are the members 」
Erica points at the girls.
「 As expected, having it a bit crowded is nice. Mana-san, how about we recruit everyone in the team 14 」
「 Yeah, let’s do that 」
Ericas said. Mana replies lightly.
Then.
「 Oh, speaking of which, Anya-san mentioned that the two foreign sisters that were with her are also 14, right? 」
Oh, yeah. the younger of the drill sister, Anna, is 14.
「 Oh, yeah. Anna’s 14, and Dolly’s 16 」
Now, Anya’s back in Southeast Asia together with the two.
It’s to bring the remaining 11 girl a.s.sa.s.sins.
I still haven’t done it with the sisters.
「 Should we add them to their age groups respectively? Now that we’re talking about her, how old is Anya-san? 」
Mana asks.
「 Hmm, I think that she’s on 16, 17, or 18 」
Anya’s originally miss Corderlia’s minion c.u.m pet
Her codename is Nikita Gorbachev.
She must’ve some set age.
But, there’s the talk of transferring to our high school.
At least, she should be in high school.
「 Well, let put them on hold for now 」
If that’s the case, that may be not only three but all thirteen girl a.s.sa.s.sins will come together.
「 Then, team 13. We have the twins, Arisu-chan, Kinuka-chan 」
「 Haiji’s also 13 」
Mariko, her former master, said.
「 Apart from Haiji, they’re all gathered and attend in the same school 」
I muttered.
On the contrary, Haiji needs some support.
「 I’m looking after Haiji so don’t worry about her. The students still think that Haiji’s my bodyguard
Mariko said.
「 I like that girl. So don’t worry about her 」
「 That said, Haiji surely feels lonely not having another family member in her cla.s.s. 」
Ruriko said.
「 Right, we need someone urgent 」
Misuzu said.
「 Right, I have a candidate for that 」
Sakurako says.
「 Lastly, team 12! 」
Mana smiled.
「 Agnes-chan, Luna-chan, Karen-chan, Koyomi-chan 」
「 I think that this one is the most stable? Danna-sama and we always look after this group the most 」
Ruriko said.
「 But, if I recall, Agnes had someone she wants to join the family 」
Speaking of which.
「 Then, team 12 is still increasing 」
Ruriko says it’s natural.
「 Yeah, I think that the first friend Agnes-chan will make in her life will be someone she’ll make join the family 」
Mana?
「 Well, if Agnes-chan’s first friend failed, that’ll be a lifetime trauma for her 」
「 Right, she might never make friends anymore 」
Even Ruriko says that.
「 That’s why we’ll use even Luna-chan’s Miko power just to make sure that she keeps her first friend 」
R-Really?
「 I guess, that’s all teams for now? 」
Mana said.
「 Papa, good night 」
Mao-chan comes in, Nagisa brought her.
She’s been waiting for me to return from the TV station so she stayed awake. She looks sleepy.
「 Yeah, good night, Mao-chan 」
I embraced Mao-chan.
「 Oh, we forgot about team 4, right? 」
Mana said with a wry smile.
「 Right, team four is precious 」
I rub my cheeks with the warm Mao-chan.
