Chapter 1442
The three went to the shower room.
「 Uhm, is it okay for us to stay here? 」
Mariko asks Kyouko-san.
「 Hmm, why not? Right, Minaho? 」
「 Yes, you can listen 」
Then, Minaho-neesan talked to me.
「 What were your thoughts? 」
That’s…
When we left the mansion to meet elder Matsumoto at the hotel tonight, Kyouko-san said that she’d accompany us to help since things are doing well with the girl a.s.sa.s.sins.
But, pretending to have left the room, Minaho-neesan and Kyouko-san were watching us nearby all the time.
Even so, as usual.
Tonight is just another trial for me.
No, it wasn’t just tonight.
I feel that Minaho-neesan’s asking me about everything that happened so far, yesterday and even today, during the two days of our school festival.
「 It made me realize that it was all Minaho-neesan’s work, that I couldn’t do anything on my own 」
I replied honestly.
Yesterday, Ishigami Mizuki and her brother came up and I thought they were big trouble, and it actually ended up with cleaning a rebellion of disgruntled members of Kouzuki SS.
Today, we had the TV station come up in the morning, and then the case with the Matsumoto sisters.
From start to end, I think I just did what Minaho-neesan prepared for me in advance.
「 Are you angry? 」
Minaho-neesan asks with a blank look.
「 No, not really. I can’t get angry 」
I replied.
「 But, I’ve done a lot without explaining them to you beforehand. Does it not get you frustrated, asking “why didn’t I tell you in detail, and explain how it’s supposed to be handled” 」
That’s…
「 I mean, Minaho-neesan thought that it will go better if you didn’t tell me, right? Minaho-neesan thinks that way after all 」
Minaho-neesan’s much smarter.
「 Also, I trust Minaho-neesan, so why should I get angry? 」
「 So he says, Minaho 」
Kyouko-san laughs.
「 Your answer is a little worrying, in fact, Minaho makes a lot of mistakes too 」
Huh?
「 Minaho thought that it would be best for Ruriko-chan, the representative of the Kouzuki house, to speak with elder Matsumoto. That’s because elder Matsumoto knew about Ruriko-chan from the TV show, right? 」
Ruriko’s recently appeared on a national TV show, touring around the Kouzuki compound.
The daughter of the Kouzuki house is well received by the people in the business world because she introduces the treasures of the n.o.bility since the Meiji era.
Elder Matsumoto’s an owner of a drugstore chain so naturally, he knows Ruriko from his small talk with other businessmen, that’s why we asked Ruriko to come tonight.
「 But, Elder Matsumoto didn’t even know Ruriko-chan. 」 Well, thinking about it, if someone’s not interested in music, he won’t have interest in anything culture at all 」
Kyouko-san laughs.
「 If so, then Misuzu-chan, who’s a high-schooler would be better than Ruriko-chan, right? It would be much more believable if Misuzu, a high-school student, is introduced as a friend of the Matsumoto sisters at school 」
True.
We know that Jii-chan gave the Kouzuki house’s history and cultural foundation to Ruriko, but…
From elder Matsumoto’s point of view, it would be hard to convince him that Ruriko, a middle school girl, is in a position to make decisions about scholarships.
Instead, it would be a much more acceptable story for elder Matsumoto, to see Misuzu, a high-school student, a friend of the Matsumoto sisters of the same age, ask her grandfather, the head of the Kouzuki house, to help the Matsumoto sisters and have it approved.
「 The reason our discussion went so well earlier was that Mariko-chan was here 」
「 Me? 」
Mariko was surprised as Kyouko-san mentioned her name.
「 Mariko-chan did all the work Misuzu-chan was supposed to do if she were here. I think that Mariko-chan was much more suited for it 」
The role of confronting the elder Matsumoto as the daughter of the Kouzuki house.
Mariko, the daughter of the president of Torii electronics, played the part.
No, elder Matsumoto would’ve felt more comfortable talking to Mariko, instead of the daughter of the n.o.bility.
In fact, Elder Matsumoto’s so engaged in the conversation with Mariko.
「 Thank you, Mariko-chan 」
Minaho-neesan said.
「 Yes, Mariko-chan wasn’t even included in Minaho’s original plan 」
Kyouko-san said. I realized.
Mariko just happened to be at our school festival today.
She also happened to come early to give Kana-senpai and the tennis girls some cosmetics.
As it happens, Marika brought the Matsumoto sisters as she was there.
There she heard about the Matsumoto sisters and decided to join in with the confrontation.
Mariko chose to come with us.
「 Mariko-chan’s the one who earned the most points in Minaho’s plan 」
Kyouko-san said.
「 Of course, it was nice to see Ruriko, who felt less effective in appealing to the elder Matsumoto, remain her dignity and stand back. If she lost her presence, elder Matsumoto could’ve snapped back 」
Yeah, committed to her role of being a quiet, dignified young lady of n.o.bility.
「 Well, to tell the truth, Minaho had several plans in advance to recover quickly if things went wrong. There are many ways to make the old man understand that Kouzuki house had his granddaughter’s back 」
Minaho-neesan used a person in the business world Elder Matsumoto to call him
There’s a way to get Ruriko to confirm that she’s the daughter of the Kouzuki house through that route without a doubt.
Minaho-neesan has a lot of other contacts I’m still unaware of
「 But, the teamwork on the field went well tonight, so that’s good enough. I mean, no matter how we do it, we’re absolutely going to get the results we want to end up with 」
The case today…
We were to make sure that the Matsumoto sisters could continue their music studies.
「 I’m glad that we didn’t use our last resort 」
The last resort was to use the Miko power to manipulate elder Matsumoto’s memory and will.
It didn’t have to get to that point.
「 So, here’s what I want you to understand 」
Kyouko-san looked at me.
「 Even if Minaho’s plan backfired and the whole thing became a total disaster… 」
I consider the worst scenario.
Our dialog with Elder Matsumoto fails, and Luna is forced to use her Miko power to manipulate the elder’s mind, and that didn’t go well either.
That could cripple the elder.
If that happens, then we have no choice but to manipulate the memories of the sisters.
If that operation also failed, that could also cripple the Matsumoto sisters.
「 If it all fails, then that would be your fault. You’re the one responsible for it 」
Kyouko-san shoots her gaze at me.
「 You didn’t know the details of Minaho’s plan. You just let Minaho take care of everything, you didn’t even give your approval in the first place 」
Ah.
「 You’re responsible for that 」
My responsibility.
「 That’s what it means to be the owner of the Kouzuki SS 」
I’m now the owner of the Kouzuki SS.
「 By the way, how was it with the elder Matsumoto? 」
Kyouko-san asks me.
I see. Meeting elder Matsumoto was part of my education.
「 I saw Matsumoto-san’s grandfather as a man who did everything himself, and that he had to know about everything 」
So, even though he’s the president of a large drugstore chain, he came by himself after seeing Minaho-neesan’s suspicious information.
「 Well, you could say that it’s manly, or courageous in a positive way, but do you want to be that kind of manager? 」
I…
「 If I live like Matsumoto-san’s grandfather, I won’t be able to have time, I would find it difficult to make the company bigger than it is now 」
Miki-san, the younger of the siblings, is listening, but…
I just speak out my thoughts.
「 Indeed, perhaps Matsumoto-sama can remember the personal data of all the managers in the drugstore chains he runs. Not just the manager, but their families, even the birthday of their spouse, and even how many children they have 」
Minaho-neesan said.
「 That’s probably great for running a company of that size, but if you want to run a larger and more complex organization, then you can’t take that approach 」
「 Kouzuki Jii-san is absolutely not up to speed on the finer personnel details of the Kouzuki group. Kouzuki group isn’t on the same level 」
Kyouko-san’s right.
There are a ton of companies in the Kouzuki group.
「 When things are delegated, then delegate them to people you trust, if you don’t break it down that way, there’s nothing you can’t do about it. If the top management gets involved every time something happens, then the people won’t be able to handle it 」
「 We have to entrust what we can to people we can trust, of course, many things are happening in the field without the knowledge of the top. We have to leave it up to the people we trust with that kind of thing 」
「 But, if you give them your trust, then the responsibility lies on the most senior entrusted 」
Kyouko-san adds to what Minaho-neesan said.
「 If you’re the owner of Kouzuki SS, then you must take responsibility for everything that Minaho or Seki-san does, using the Kouzuki SS without your knowledge 」
Yeah.
「 Officially, everything they do is done by your will 」
Minaho-neesan’s been doing a lot of things without my knowledge. I have to accept that.
There will be more things going on that I can’t keep track of.
The situation is changing faster than I could understand it, Minaho-neesan’s responding in real-time, so she doesn’t have time to explain every single thing to me.
And so, I have to be prepared for that.
Still, we must accept that the final responsibility lies on me.
「 Okay, I’ll just take it all 」
I swore to Kyouko-san and Minaho-neesan.
「 Okay, that’s all we want to talk about for now. Any questions? 」
Kyouko-san smiles.
「 None 」
Suddenly, I feel tired.
Too many things happened yesterday and today.
「 Those girls aside, does anyone else have questions? 」
Kyouko-san cheerfully calls out to the girls around her.
Then.
「 Uhm 」
Matsumoto Miki-san, the younger of the sisters, raised her hand.
「 Hmm? What do you want to ask? Kyouko-can can tell you anything 」
Kyouko-san smiles.
「 Onee-chan…how did Onee-chan change so much 」
Miki-san’s sister, Maki.
I had s.e.x and she became my woman.
Together with Marika, she took Izumi as her pet.
「 I don’t think she changed so much, it’s more of that it’s her true nature I think 」
Kyouko-san replied.
「 It’s like the cat’s out of the bag, or rather, the quiet and introverted look she had before, was because she had to be that way to survive 」
That’s…
「 I think it’s partly because she’s worried about her future after her father’s death, Maki’s performance was good, but the only negative thing I saw in her performance is that she lacked confidence and she had no aspiration. But, it seems good now 」
Minaho-neesan said.
「 If it’s Maki now, she’ll be able to play with much more energy now 」
Marika’s her partner she swore to live together with.
She also gained Izumi, her pet.
Maki’s become stronger now.
「 People live better when they’re put in an easy-to-understand form 」
Minaho-neesan asks me.
「 She doesn’t know what’s happening, but the worst part is that she doesn’t know how it happened, but she’s chosen as a scholar of the Kouzuki house. It’s a wonderful situation, but it makes her sick. She doesn’t know what’s her status 」
That was Maki before s.e.x.
「 But, after gaining a special relationship with Marika, and seeing that she had to have s.e.x with you as well, then it all fell into place. She accepted it. She realized that she had to be tied up for the rest of her life, but also that it’s not a bad thing for her 」
Becoming part of our family guarantees that she can continue playing her piano, and even allow her to have a partner relationship with Marika.
Then, Maki accepted the situation at hand.
「 But, that would make Maki someone who depends on Marika, and doesn’t think for herself, right? 」
Minaho-neesan’s right, around the time before and after she had s.e.x with me, Maki just follows what Marika said. Maki’s thoughts are blinded.
「 That’s why, it was right to add Izumi-san, who’s dependent on Maki, as her pet. Maki’s actions and speech have become more proactive as soon as she found someone below her, someone she has to protect, right? 」
「 Oh, so it was Minaho-neesan who suggested to Marika to take Izumi as their pet 」
I finally figured it out.
「 Yes. It’s my job to break girls down to their understandable form 」
That’s Minaho-neesan’s past.
In the brothel Shirasaka Sousuke controlled, the kidnapped prost.i.tutes weren’t allowed to go mad or die from weakness.
Minaho-neesan made the prost.i.tute form a relationship of dependence on each other, so they could stay strong in their difficult lives.
Just like Marika and Maki’s lesbian partnership.
Izumi as a pet is also a relationship.
This is an idea from her past experience.
「 Oh, I see. I didn’t understand that even if explained upfront 」
Even if Marika told me that she’s going to get a pet with her partner this morning…
My head would just panic.
I get it now because I experienced the process of Minaho-neesan’s plans carried out one-by-one.
「 By the way, I think that just like you’re sister, you’ve come to see your true nature 」
Kyouko-san told Matsumoto Miki-san.
「 Just like your sister, you were also meek. But now… 」
「 ???? 」
「 You’re exposing your unyielding selfish nature 」
Miki-san trembles.
「 I-I’m not like that! 」
「 No, you are, everyone in here thinks that way 」
Kyouko-san laughs.
「 Well, you’re about to have s.e.x tomorrow so you’ll figure it out, along with what happened to your sister 」
「 I-I… 」
Once again, Miki-san’s body turned stiff when the topic of s.e.x is brought up.
「 Wasn’t it mentioned earlier? No matter the process, in the end, it’ll happen as we want it to. It’s already decided that you’ll have his child. What’s left is the process, whether it’s scary and painful rape or gentle s.e.x, that’s all 」
Kyouko-san’s words are heavy.
Miki-san fell silent.
「 Don’t worry. Kou’s good at s.e.x, even when it’s Maki-chan and Izumi-chan’s first time, they didn’t seem to be that hurt, right? 」
Mariko said brightly, but…
「 Well, that’s because of their const.i.tution. I need to spread open their v.a.g.i.n.a with my fingers and see inside to know 」
I replied.
「 Oh, forgot about that. I guess that’s also necessary to turn it into an understandable form 」
Minaho-neesan said and took something from behind.
「 This is necessary for pets, right? 」
Saying that Minaho-neesan brings in a black collar.
「 The owner needs to put this on her. 」
It’s to understand who’s the owner, and who’s the pet.
「 Yeah, do you have another one, Minaho-neesan? 」
I had an idea, a way to make it easier to understand.
「 Give me a moment, I have two more 」
Minaho-neesan goes to the other room again.
「 Then, take those two 」
I said.
「 Huh, are you putting one on our necks too? 」
Mariko looked at me in surprise.
「 No, not you girls, but those who are in the mansion 」
I replied.
「 Yes, that’s it. You figured it out. That’s what we wanted you to understand 」
Kyouko-san said happily.
◇ ◇ ◇
Our conversation with Minaho-neesan and Kyouko-san ended.
Then, we went to the shower room too.
We have to wash quickly and return to the mansion.
Ruriko, Mariko, Luna, and Michi went with me to the bathroom naked.
Kinos.h.i.ta-san and Kurose Anju left to clean up the camera.
「 Kyaa 」
「 Kyaa 」
Maki and Izumi raised their voice as we suddenly came in.
Marika, Maki, and Izumi are filled with bubbles.
The three of them seem to be having fun.
「 Hey, uhm 」
「 Iyaaan 」
Unlike Marika who just looked at us like it was normal.
Maki and Izumi are hiding from my gaze with their hands.
They’re not accustomed to exposing their naked body to me yet.
The bathroom has brighter lights than the bedroom.
「 Maki and Izumi, don’t hide it. We all had s.e.x with Kou-kun already 」
Marika said with a smile.
「 Oh right…we got stared a lot earlier in the bed after all 」
「 We were seen, licked, fondled, and even had his p.e.n.i.s go inside of us 」
Mariko laughed and told Maki.
「 Ahaha, right… 」
Maki also laughed.
She stopped hiding her body.
Izumi hides behind Maki, not showing me her body.
「 It’s no time to have fun in the shower, just wash off the sweat for now. Once we got back to the mansion, we have a bigger bath there 」
Mariko told Marika and the girls.
「 Sorry, I just had fun washing Izumi 」
「 Uhm, Marika-oneesama.. 」
「 Izumi, didn’t you also wash Maki? 」
Yeah, the three of them are closer now.
The relationship between Marika<–>Maki<-Izumi is better if it deepens.
「 Oh, right. Kou-kun 」
Marika spoke to me.
「 Kou-kun, which do you prefer, cat or dog? 」
Huh?
「 Look, Izumi’s become Marika and my pet, but… 」
Maki asks me bashfully.
「 We’re still debating whether Izumi should be our dog or cat 」
Err.
「 Is bird or hamster not in the choices? 」
Mariko asks.
「 Hmmm, I don’t think Izumi fits with the small animal category 」
「 I knew it, it has to be cat or dog 」
Marika says while washing Izumi’s head with the shower.
「 Kou-kun, which one? 」
I…
Since it’s Izumi, I think that she’s much more like a faithful dog to Maki, but…
Izumi’s true nature is of a dumb girl…
I think that has more of a cat feel…
「 I think, cat? 」
I replied.
「 So he says, Izumi 」
「 Then, do it as agreed earlier 」
Marika ordered Izumi and then…
「 I-I understand, nyan 」
She became a girl who ends her sentence with “Nyan”
