「 Kyouko-san’s already in j.a.pan now? 」
I said. Rei-chan.
「 That’s a possibility. The papers she sent came from a hotel in Hong Kong 」
Hong Kong?
「 The distance between Hong Kong to Kansai airport isn’t that far 」
Kansai region, then that means,
「 Cesario Viola and Miss Cordelia belong to the same organization. Do you remember? 」
「 Yeah, they’re both from a crime syndicate in Los Angeles, right? That organization uses the “Cesario Viola” as the name of the leader of the wild bunch 」
Furthermore, Cesario Viola isn’t just one man.
Miss Cordelia’s subordinates, Eenie and Meenie named themselves as Cesario Viola when we first met them.
「 To match the operation, the man who named himself Cesario Viola moved his own team. That Cesario Viola we fought last May was one of the most vicious 」
Rei-chan said.
「 Well, since Cesario Viola’s dead in j.a.pan, the organization in Los Angeles no longer uses the code name, Cesario Viola. 」
Cesario Viola died in j.a.pan.
「 By the way, do you remember the reason why Cesario Viola and Miss Cordelia went to j.a.pan? 」
「 That’s to take Ya-chan away, isn’t it? 」
Nei escaped that man, Cesario Viola’s control, and is also the reason why his sister died.
「 That’s just Viola’s personal objective. The organization’s aim was different 」
Ah.
「 Right, Miss Cordelia did mention about expanding their business in j.a.pan 」
The organization from Los Angeles wants to take over j.a.pan’s underground society.
In short, they’re aiming to increase their power in j.a.pan.
「 Yes, however, with Cesario Viola’s death last May, Kyouko-san and Miss Cordelia got busy outside 」
Oh, that pa.s.sionate lesbian couple.
They were so happy to see each other again.
They raided some crime syndicates in j.a.pan together.
「 And the two did come back to America to take revenge on the guy who fed them lies that broke them up 」
Kyouko-san thought that Miss Cordelia betrayed her.
Perhaps, that guy’s already dead.
「 Then, four months have pa.s.sed since then. Miss Cordelia should be back for her primary objective 」
Rei-chan smiled.
「 You mean, the organization from Los Angeles would invade j.a.pan? 」
I asked.
「 It’s not j.a.pan itself, just the underground society 」
No, it’s the same.
They’re not as vicious as that Cesario Viola, but,
Criminals from Los Angeles would be coming to j.a.pan in full force.
「 Fortunately, Kouzuki SS has an agreement with Miss Cordelia. Therefore, they won’t involve themselves with our customers or us 」
And for that sake.
Jii-chan paid Miss Cordelia a hefty price.
「 By the way, our attacks recently on the Kansai Yakuza group has caused a lot of damage on them 」
Right.
Chief Yazawa’s attack unit didn’t just raid the headquarters of the Kansai Yakuza,
They also overthrow the two bosses, Satake and Oodori.
The underground society of Kansai region has a weak spot.
「 Miss Cordelia will never let this chance slip by 」
So she’ll be involved in the Kansai events?
「 Kakka should receive the information from Los Angeles from Shou-oneesama 」
Jii-chan purposely invited Miss Cordelia to j.a.pan?
「 Starting from the day before yesterday, when Kakka interviewed the Takakura sisters in Kyoto. It should be enough time for the information sent to Los Angeles to reach Kyouko-san and Miss Cordelia. Well, Hong Kong’s a different case though 」
If Kyouko-san’s in Hong Kong, it’s likely that her lover, Miss Cordelia, is in there too.
「 But, won’t that be a problem? 」
If Miss Cordelia joins in the fight between Kouzuki SS and the Kansai Yakuza.
I know how unconventional Miss Cordelia and Kyouko-san are.
「 Yes, it’s a problem already, and that is Kakka’s objective 」
Rei-chan said.
「 Kakka wants to change the structure of the underground society from its foundation. It may take years, probably decades, however 」
To think that it’ll take that long.
「 The Yakuza world right now is no longer a necessity in j.a.pan. After all, they use the old model from the post-war period, and so they are somewhat ancient 」
The current Yakuza is a product of the conflict from the post-war era, or so I heard earlier from the hotel.
「 Kakka wants to sweep out all of the traditions from the ancient times 」
「 And for that sake, the foreign crime syndicates have to enter j.a.pan 」
I asked. Rei-chan.
「 Even without Kakka’s consent, the foreign criminals will be coming to j.a.pan henceforth. j.a.pan is a wealthy country, and with the decline in birthrate, the workforce is insufficient. A shop clerk would notice if the number of foreigners has increased, won’t they? 」
Yeah, in a convenience store, for example.
「 The foreigner invasion will continue for long. Naturally, that includes the criminals outside the country, they’ll come to j.a.pan. If that’s the case, it’s better if we invite people that we already know and negotiate 」
And that’s Miss Cordelia.
「 American crime syndicates have troublesome and egoistic people. However, they’re much better than Russia or Chinese Mafia. They could be reasoned with 」
Rei-chan said.
「 Fighting poison with poison 」
Yoshiko-san who’s been reading a book all this time lifts her face.
「 Grandfather is ready to take some poison for himself 」
Fight poison with poison.
「 This is to not let some crime syndicate expand in power. Keeping each other in check. Kouzuki house who has contact with the surface will control the other side with a sense of balance. That would be the best situation, I believe 」
「 Countries world right now cannot shut out crime organizations from foreign countries unless they isolate themselves 」
Rei-chan sighed.
「 National isolation would be impossible, j.a.pan lives in the international community 」
Yoshiko-san said.
「 No matter how rich our country is, we rely on other countries for raw materials, fuel, and resources. If we don’t cooperate with other nations, they can be aggressive 」
To become world-famous, you need to open your country. And if the country is open, naturally, foreign criminals will come. That’s the risk attached.
「 Even if we isolate the country, In the end, the internal crime groups would expand. j.a.pan can feed the population by using domestic production, but it needs to be enough for daily livelihood. If not, the social unrest would increase crimes. And with the current scale of police, they can’t maintain public order 」
Rei-chan explains it this time.
「 I see. An ideal country where there are no crimes never exist 」
There’s always both a surface and backside of the society.
If light exists, then so does shadow.
This world can’t eliminate all of the criminals.
Besides, I’m also a member of this side, I’ve committed crimes already.
「 Either way, Kyouko-san’s intrusion between the fight of Kouzuki SS and the Kansai Yakuza would help out 」
Rei-chan said.
「 Kouzuki group is our surface. They’re weak from attacks 」
Yeah, the ordinary companies in the group would receive hara.s.sment from the Yakuza.
「 But, Miss Cordelia’s from the backside, and so she’ll fight it in the same way. Anything goes for her. With this, the Yakuza will no longer have the leeway to attack us on the surface 」
I see.
Supposed that Miss Cordelia rampaged and she steals the share in the underground society,
Jii-chan decided that it’s inevitable for the international crime syndicates to come in if it’s to damage the Kansai Yakuza.
「 Or should I say that Jii-chan wants to put the top position of the underground society to despair 」
I mutter unconsciously.
「 Jii-chan feels that current j.a.pan can’t expect from the adult j.a.panese. Therefore, Miss Cordelia comes in 」
Then.
「 To be precise, the adult male j.a.panese 」
Shou-neechan comes back to the dining room.
Agnes and Luna are with her.
「 That is why I’m now the person in charge of Kouzuki SS. From chief Yazawa’s age to mine so suddenly, they probably couldn’t find a qualified man 」
Jii-chan also thinks that Yamaoka was a failure.
「 Seki-san, why would Grandfather feel aspiration from women? 」
Yoshiko-san asks.
「 That’s because he knows from experience that women never despair for the future 」
Women never despair for the future.
「 Women would bear a child eventually anyway. You can’t tell a newborn child that life is filled with despair, can you? No matter what happens, you show your child that the future is bright 」
Shou-neechan smiles.
「 Therefore, women don’t despair. We don’t give up, no matter how cruel the situation can become. We put an effort to grant our family everlasting happiness 」
「 But, women aren’t like that recently 」
Yoshiko-san tells Shou-neechan.
「 Oh, indeed. But, that only means that they haven’t awakened themselves as a woman yet 」
Awaken themselves as a woman?
「 Women aren’t women because they have the body of a woman. It doesn’t matter if they have b.r.e.a.s.t.s and don’t have a p.e.n.i.s. A “woman” is something you become. The change from “girl” to “woman” And that isn’t just about experiencing s.e.x 」
Shou-neechan said.
「 If you fall in love, and receive love, that what awakens you as a woman 」
Yoshiko-san;
「 I don’t understand 」
She hung her head and said.
「 Yes, you won’t understand until you reach that point 」
「 But on the other hand, once the time comes, you’ll understand it 」
Rei-chan tells Yoshiko-san.
「 Oh, I can feel the reverberations of joy from being a woman 」
「 Uugh 」
Michi who has been on my lap all this time;
She cries as I pat her head.
「 I’m very sorry 」
She said in a tiny voice, turned around, and clings to my body.
She locks my waist with both her legs.
「 I’m sorry that I’m the only one receiving love right now 」
She said and pats my back gently.
「 Michi is also a woman, I’ll become a woman 」
She looked up at me and said.
「 Don’t mind it, hardships are a part of life 」
I smiled at Michi.
「 You can also have some time where you act spoiled. On the other hand, someday, I may act spoiled for Michi as well. We can look at the total after a long time and love each other more 」
「 Yes!~! 」
Michi clings to my chest while shedding tears.
I gently hug Michi.
「 Kuromori-sama 」
Yoshiko-san looks at me.
「 What? 」
「 You just mentioned “long time,” but how long is that? 」
I…
「 Isn’t that obvious? It’s until death 」
I replied naturally.
Yoshiko-san sighed.
「 I’m no match against Kuromori-sama 」
Then, she looked at me.
「 Please look at me on our next meeting 」
Huh?
「 I’m dissatisfied that I’m not within your field of vision 」
「 S-Sorry 」
Was I ignoring Yoshiko-san?
Well, I’ve been busy with other things.
「 It’s okay. I started to get along with Yukino-san and the other girls for this time. I now understand that Ruriko-sama’s enjoying her life in here 」
Yoshiko-san said.
「 Sure, you can stay over any time. Everyone would be happy to see you 」
I said.
「 Yes, allow me to take on that 」
Then, I hear some footsteps running to here.
「 Thank you for the wait! Mii-chan and Ruri-chan are ready! 」
Nei jumps in with a smile.
Then.
「 Thank you for waiting 」
Misuzu, Ruriko, and Edie come in.
The three of them are wearing a sleeveless summer dress and a shawl on their shoulders to their chest.
But, the rope marks show themselves in their arms.
「 We’ll take out the shawl in front of Grandfather, and it’ll surprise him! 」
Misuzu speaks in enjoyment.
Yeah, I’m sure that Jii-chan would be surprised if he sees the red marks in their back and chest part.
「 Then, let’s go? 」
Rei-chan stands up and grabs her cane.
「 Michi, take care of Darling tonight 」
Edie smiled at Michi.
「 I’ll be with Misuzu tonight until they reach school tomorrow. Therefore, Michi, guard darling 」
Michi will go with me to school?
「 Michi’s smart, and so I know that you’ll be fine after a day’s rest 」
She smiled.
「 You can have s.e.x with Darling in school if you want! 」
「 Oh? I’d like to swap places with you now Michi! 」
Misuzu laughs.
「 You can just come over after school 」
「 U-Uhm, Misuzu-sama 」
Michi looks confused.
「 What? Do you not want Danna-sama to violate you in his school? 」
「 N-No, that’s welcome, but, that 」
「 Then, why not? I also had a promise to do it in there someday. Both in Danna-sama’s school in our school 」
「 Misuzu-chan, we need to finish up the plans for our school festival 」
Ruriko said.
「 Yes. Ah, we’ll explain it all beforehand. That includes the women we want Danna-sama to violate 」
Misuzu really wants me to rape a girl.
「 Oh, that reminds me, Misuzu-sama 」
Shou-neechan speaks to Misuzu.
「 It’s about the bodyguards of the other ladies in Misuzu-sama’s school… 」
The bodyguards of the super-high-cla.s.s ladies?
「 Are there others like Michi-chan who escorts the ladies in their school? 」
「 Yes, there are 」
Misuzu nods.
「 It seems that other houses send over the daughter of their bodyguard for generations 」
Even Michi’s selected because Kudou Papa is security personnel for Jii-chan.
Thus, she became Misuzu’s bodyguard.
「 If there are any capable personnel there, I’d like to hire them, but, Is that possible? 」
Shou-neechan, you mean?
「 Naturally, they will continue to guard the lady they’re guarding, but, I’d like them to be affiliated with Kouzuki SS, even if it’s just in name. In exchange, they can use the resource and support from our company 」
You mean, all the bodyguard girls for the ladies of wealthy families,
Kouzuki SS will take them all in?
「 When we do that, all the distinguished families would be patronizing Kouzuki SS 」
Those ladies would graduate, and soon grow up.
Naturally, their retainer/bodyguard would grow with them.
At that time, if they all are affiliated with Kouzuki SS,
Then, Kouzuki SS will take the large market share for bodyguards among the distinguished families.
「 What do you think, Michi? 」
Misuzu asks Michi.
「 From what I see, there would be at least ten people skilled enough to be wanted by Kouzuki SS among the primary and high school department 」
Michi said.
「 Only one is a member of another company already, and the rest are from a lineage of bodyguards that have a deep relationship with the distinguished family 」
Oh, I knew it.
If they’re to dispatch a bodyguard among the distinguished families,
They’d prepare bodyguards who come from their business.
They have high loyalty, and their skill is reliable.
「 Yes, I know the numbers 」
Misuzu said.
Most of the students in her school have been there since kindergarten.
They know who’s a bodyguard of who.
Naturally, there should be some who hid their ident.i.ty as a bodyguard completely, but,
「 If that’s the case, how about you call out to all of them, Misuzu-sama? 」
Michi asks.
「 Me? 」
「 Yes. We all attend the same school, and so the bodyguards should prefer sharing information with fellow bodyguards, and they’d love to be called out 」
「 I see. It’s better to cooperate in case some trouble happens 」
Ruriko smiles.
「 Us bodyguards don’t like to be intimate with each other. It can invite misunderstandings that one’s not loyal to their master 」
That may be some other house is trying to take them.
That they might be talking a lot about their master’s house…
「 Therefore, I think that Misuzu-sama should call out to the ladies instead. If the Master orders them, they have no choice but to follow 」
Right.
「 How about we involve the Masters as well? 」
Ruriko said.
「 For example, we can gather them to talk about the latest information about bodyguards from Shou-oneesama and Reika-oneesama. If that’s the case, the master and their bodyguard will partic.i.p.ate together 」
「 Me? 」
Rei-chan’s surprised.
「 Yes. Reika-oneesama’s popular now. I think that most of the ladies would like to meet you 」
I see.
There are fangirl ladies too.
「 Then, if 70% of the ladies join in, the remaining 30% would come as well. They don’t like to be the only people who don’t know what’s going on 」
「 Right, Ruriruri. Everyone wants to know the details of the story about the Yakuza 」
They won’t let the latest information from Kouzuki SS slide.
「 In addition to that, we can solicit the Masters to form an alliance with us. A collaboration where we protect each other 」
「 Indeed, it would be easier to persuade the master compared to the bodyguard 」
「 We are weak, but, Shou-oneesama is an expert, I’m sure that it’ll have high persuasive power 」
Ruriko and Misuzu are coming up with the plans.
「 And then, Danna-sama can violate both the master and the bodyguard, right? 」
Misuzu?
「 The girls I want would bring their bodyguard with them 」
Misuzu said happily
「 My, I’ll do the same 」
Ruriko too.
「 The lady’s a cute girl, and her bodyguard is a beauty 」
「 Naturally, Onii-sama, you can decide when you see them. Please meet up with them at least once 」
Geez, you girls.
「 If you want, let’s bring them all together 」
No, Misuzu.
That’s ten bodyguards, meaning, ten Masters.
Doing it with 20 people would be impossible.
Furthermore, they’re all high-cla.s.s ladies like Misuzu.
And on top of that, their retainer/bodyguard will be with them.
Aren’t the girls in your cla.s.s all from the 1% of the wealthy families?
「 Anyway, this will go smoothly. If we can take control of the bodyguards as Shou-oneesama plans, Kouzuki SS’ future will be safe 」
Misuzu said.
「 And if we can take control of the ladies, they’d recommend Kouzuki SS to their father and mothers 」
Rei-chan said.
「 Yeah. Kouzuki SS has to be self-supporting now, and so gaining shares is the top priority 」
Shou-neechan smiles wryly.
「 But, that’s the end goal. No, I’m talking about Kouzuki SS bodyguards penetrating any distinguished house 」
Yoshiko-san said.
「 If that’s the case, Kouzuki house will control all of the distinguished families in j.a.pan, won’t it? 」
Huh.
Oh, I see.
Bodyguards always follow where their master goes.
That means, they know their master’s private life.
Even the secrets they don’t want others to know.
「 Well, that’s how it is 」
Shou-neechan?
「 Entrusting the security to Kouzuki house would end to that, but we’ll have to penetrate them slowly to make sure they don’t notice. Therefore, we have to start with the young ladies 」
What?
「 If the young ones think that having bodyguards from Kouzuki SS as natural, then they won’t think that it’s strange that “Distinguished family’s bodyguard = Kouzuki SS,” would they? 」
