「 With that said, you’re all going to die 」
Minaho-neesan gives her verdict to Tendou Sadao.
『 Hey, wait! Wait! 』
Tendou Sadao tries to talk it out with Minaho-neesan but…
「 I no longer have an interest in talking to you. I don’t want to listen. And you don’t have any material to negotiate with us, do you?
『 No, give me a second! Hey, I’m thinking right now! Hey, a.s.sholes, give me something to use, even if it’s a lie! Do you not have anything to turn this around?! Any plan B? 』
Tendou asks the other Yakuza but n.o.body’s responding.
「 Get ready, you’ll die one by one. But you can kill time until then 」
Minaho-neesan said.
「 Come to think of it, I think that there’s a mahjong mat behind the locker in that room 」
Rei-chan laughs.
『 Mahjong?! Hey! 』
『 Ah, Tendou-aniki, there really is a mahjong mat here 』
One of the Yakuza found the mahjong pieces.
『 Do we have anything else? 』
『 There are three sets of cards and also a first-generation Game Boy 』
『 Video games? Really? 』
『 Yes, it has Tetris and SD Gundam Gaiden Lacroan Heroes 』
『 That one with the monk gun tank bobgoblin zac captured? 』
Tendou Sadao mutters.
「 That’s all the freebies for you. You won’t get any meals nor drinks, but you can have some amus.e.m.e.nt at least. Enjoy your final hours 」
Minaho-neesan shows a cold smile.
「 Bye, Tendou-san and friends 」
「 Goodbye everyone 」
「 Bye-bye-yeet! 」
Minaho-neesan, Rei-chan, and Nei all bid farewell to Tendou Sadao and friends.
Then, the screen on the wall in their room turned off.
「 Okay, the line’s cut off! 」
Kinos.h.i.ta-san tells Minaho-neesan.
「 Hey, what do you think now? 」
Minaho-neesan asks me.
「 By that, what? 」
Minaho-neesan just announced that she’ll kill all of them.
Rei-chan is also there, and so it shows that we’re using the power of Kouzuki house.
The Kansai organization has low chances of saving them.
「 They know that their situation is hard, but they wouldn’t want to die without doing anything. Therefore, they’ll discuss how to survive in this desperate situation, I think 」
That’s what I would do.
Of course, there’s the knowledge that the conversation is wiretapped, but still…
Even so, they need to gather together and prepare to fight the situation.
Else, they will lose the chance to counterattack when the time comes.
「 Then, do you want to see what happens in reality? 」
Minaho-nesan points at the monitor that shows Tendou Sadao’s room.
Then…
『 What do we do, Aniki? 』
『 Seriously?! What are we going to do, Tendou-san?! 』
『 I refuse to die in this place! 』
『 I mean, if this goes on, we’ll all die in vain! 』
『 We can’t show our face to the organization! 』
『 If they kill us now, we’re going to lose our manliness! 』
The old men and women, although, only those who have a strong position, speak their complaints and push Tendou Sadao for an answer.
Tendou Sadao.
『 Dammit, what can we do? 』
He speaks in displeasure.
『 Hey, bring in the mahjong mat! 』
Huh?
『 I’m going to play a game at least. The rates would be five points? We’re going with Uma 』
『 Eeh? Aniki, please make it a one-two punch with 100 per 1000 points 』
『 Stupid! If you look at your money right now, going for more than 5 is hard, right? We had to lower the bank with our situation! 』
Seriously? These guys are going to play Mahjong?1
『 Give me that console. I’ll play Tetris 』
Iwasaki Hiromi said.
『 Here, Nee-san 』
『 Yeah, thanks 』
Iwasaki Hiromi took the console and started playing Tetris.
『 Hey, Tokuda, also, that guy on the corner, right, you! You don’t have to partic.i.p.ate, but go look for some options for us to escape here! 』
Tendou Sadao speaks to the weak Yakuza.
『 No, but, Tendou Aniki, is it okay if we play Mahjong here? 』
The guy next to Tendou asks, but…
『 It’s okay! You see, we can use gambling as a change of pace, and think about the current situation from a better perspective. We can get better results with that! 』
Tendou Sadao declares.
『 We have two mats, so let’s split the table into two and we’ll go with the quarter-length game. Okay, let’s split the team! 』
『 Ah, okay, Aniki 』
『 Can’t help it, Tendou-san 』
The Yakuza starts playing Mahjong.
「 That’s okay now, Kinos.h.i.ta-san. You can mute them 」
Minaho-neesan said.
「 Why are those guys playing Mahjong in this situation? 」
I’m surprised. Too surprised.
They are in this critical moment where their life is about to forfeit, and yet…
「 It’s because they’re not thinking! I mean, they’re people who can’t move in fear if they think 」
Nei said.
「 When there’s a tool to escape reality prepared for them, then they will use it 」
That’s…
「 They’re struggling in life, their children are hungry, and yet, they’re people who would bet all their money in pac.h.i.n.ko or horse racing 」
「 They’re people who would want to escape to the life of gambling instead of looking at the reality 」
Edie said.
「 Look at them and don’t forget. People like them who are beyond saving exist in this world. They only cause trouble to other people, and they never take responsibility for themselves, they will do whatever they please 」
Minaho-neesan speaks to me.
「 Naturally, such good-for-nothing people do have the right to live. However, just like today, when these people threaten our lives, then we will crush them down without hesitation 」
「 Just like Cesario Viola. Those people follow their desires for that moment and don’t think of anything else 」
Nei said.
「 People like him don’t understand what it means to treasure the lives of other people nor to respect them. They will only think of their pleasure at that moment. Therefore, you can take all your time talking to them and yet they’ll never understand you 」
「 Just like how we can’t understand them, they also can’t understand us. No, I said that wrong. They’re never interested in the first place, and so they don’t really care 」
Edie said.
「 That’s why, if such guys come to cause harm to us, we have to take them out without hesitation? 」
「 Correct. If you look at them and thought, “I feel sorry for them.” or “I’m sure that they can understand if we talk.” Then you won’t know what to do 」
Minaho-neesan speaks with a straight face.
「 If you’re alone, and you took the other party lightly and you suffered the consequences, then you reap what you sow. But now, you have a family 」
「 And you mustn’t show weakness nor any opportunity for them. Yo-chan 」
Nei’s eyes also show that she’s serious.
「 I don’t want to see my family hurt or killed by such people anymore 」
Nei’s parents and twin brother were murdered in front of her.
Cesario Viola deceived Nei’s parents and killed them because;
Cesario Viola’s true nature is an utter villain, and Nei’s parents trusted him without noticing that.
A mistake in judgment kills people.
Cesario Viola killed Nei’s parents and captured Nei and her brother, Kei-san for a long time.
「 I got it. Minaho-neesan, Ya-chan 」
That means, Tendou Sadao and his group who escapes to Mahjong in this situation…
They’re hopeless.
They’re beyond saving.
「 Also, we had the order of the rooms from Irokuchou Ichirou-san, Tendou Otome-san, and Tendou Sadao-san’s room, but… 」
Minaho-neesan looks at me.
「 Did you sense something? Find out something? 」
I…
Irokuchou Ichirou’s room has the boss, commanding the whole group and they all follow him, but…
Both of the Tendou, the child and parent, are leaders of a mish-mash of people.
「 Tendou Otome and Sadao both pushed by the others. Furthermore, only those who have a strong status in the group makes the complaints, the weaker ones can’t partic.i.p.ate in the conversation 」
「 The two rooms have the same structure of relationships, right? 」
Minaho-neesan asks.
「 With fewer people, it was easier to comprehend Otome-san’s room. Tendou Otome-san is the leader. The three girls with the strongest status complain to the leader. Then, three don’t speak. And the weakest were the two that are still exhausted 」
Tendou Otome’s the leader.
The strong girls are the blonde, red hair, and perm girl.
The twin lolicon video materials don’t speak. They’re simple.
The oppressed girls are Tokuda Sonoko-san. And the other girl named Shigeyo.
「 The room with of their fathers also have the same composition of people. The parents who are flaring up on Tendou Otome-san speak their complaints to Tendou Sadao-san. They also have silent people and oppressed people 」
The power relationship between the parent and child rooms are similar.
「 Normally, the parent and child won’t have that similar relationship with them. The parent and children live in a different world. But, in their case, they came from Kansai together and lived together for more than a week, didn’t they? 」
They received instructions from the Kansai Yakuza to come here and create materials for the scandal on Kouzuki house.
Tendou Otome slipped inside Mizushima house one week ago.
That means that they were in Tokyo, hiding together for more than a week.
「 Furthermore, the parents are all from yakuza, they came from the same organization, and they have a power relationship, right? And so, it drags the daughters to do the same 」
Nei’s right.
「 That means, among the group, Tokuda-san’s the one with a weak status that they give him orders such as “kill yourself by hanging your neck.” That’s the reason why they had to offer their cute daughters to their seniors 」
Yeah.
「 For the daughters, it’s basically “give me a break.” But, perhaps, the three strongest among the daughter group is inevitable. They see that she’s the daughter of Tokuda-san, who’s also oppressed, and so they see it as inevitable that they rape her 」
That’s…
「 Among human relationships, when there’s this weird cla.s.s or hierarchy system, then that’s when they start thinking that way. Then, they think “I’m stronger than that person, and so I’m better. That’s why I can do anything to them” 」
Nei said.
「 I mean, that’s what their parents are doing. The daughters will mimic that behavior 」
Just like how Tendou Sadao bullies Tokuda-san…
The three daughters also bully Tokuda Sonoko-san.
They see it as natural.
「 I can understand that 」
Haiji-san nods.
She must’ve received the same torment from a group before.
「 Hey, you’ve been quiet all this time, but what do you girls think? 」
Edie asks Tsukiko and Yomi who are sitting near the wall.
「 Well, we…Right, Tsukiko-oneesama? 」
「 Indeed, Yomi 」
The sister smiles at each other.
「 We can see what’s in Minaho-sama and Kou-sama’s mind 」
「 Yeah, Kuromori-san gently speaks of the whole process and so it’s enlightening 」
Tsukiko sand Yomi said.
「 The enemy raid today had the intent of letting Kou-sama learn from it 」
Minaho-neesan’s teaching me?
「 Therefore, we’re not giving our opinions 」
「 Yes. We can see it, and so it’s a slip off 」
「 We don’t want to give Kou-sama any unnecessary information either 」
That’s the reason why the two are silent all this time.
「 Thank you for that consideration 」
Minaho-neesan smiled at the sisters.
「 Now then, Kou, that’s enough for Irokuchuo Ichirou-san and Tendou Sadao-san. All we have to do is dispose of them, and it’s our job, not yours 」
Minaho-neesan speaks.
「 However, you’re the one to deal with Tendou Otome-san 」
Me?
「 I think you already understand but I’ll repeat it: we cannot allow Tendou Otome-san to join in our family. She’s a bad influence towards our young children 」
Minaho-neesan said.
「 If it’s Michi-san’s elder sister, she has no influence, and so we allow her to live with us, but… Tendou Otome-san is a risk 」
Michi’s sister, Kudou Haruka.
For some reason, she’s living together in our house, she’s not in our family, nor she’s my woman.
She’s a Karate idiot, but, she’s loyal to Kouzuki house.
And so, she will never do anything that will anger Misuzu or Ruriko.
She will not hurt our young girls either.
I mean, she’s not good at dealing with children.
All she does is muscle training and karate training every day.
But when she asks for a match with Michi or Edie, she loses.
「 But, as you can see, Kuromori is recruiting new faces. I think that these girls are hard to use from looking at the monitor, but, I’m still a woman. Kou, I want you to use your eyes as a male and check whether we can use them or not 」
That’s…
「 You’re not looking for those you want to help or those you feel pity for, you’re looking at them as a manager of a pure brothel, check whether they have worth or not 」
I have to sweep away my personal feelings and look at them as products.
「 Tendou Otome-san as well. In her case, I think that she’s not suited for prost.i.tution but for bodyguard instead 」
Minaho-neesan said.
「 But, even if one has high skills, if they have a useless personality, then you can’t sell them, can you? Think of that and make your judgment 」
Yeah, Tendou Otome had enough combat skills to get hired as a bodyguard of a daughter of n.o.bility.
However, her personality prioritizes herself and her friends, and she will not save others.
「 Don’t think of the current time. Look at the person and observe 」
Oh, right.
Minaho-neesan’s right.
Don’t make guesses with what we have so far.
I should take a look at them once again and look for a new point of view.
「 Nei and Edie-san, go with him. Also… 」
Minaho-neesan looks at Tsukiko.
「 Yes. I will also come 」
Tsukiko said that she wants to give emotional support to the daughters of Yakuza.
「 Then, Minaho-neesan, if I decided that we can’t use the girls as prost.i.tutes, what will you do? 」
Minaho-neesan…
「 I wonder? What do you want? 」
Huh?
「 Their parents brought them forcibly to Tokyo, but they’re not our enemies. They’re victims in a sense. Especially Tokuda-san, since the fathers of the other girls raped her 」
Minaho-neesan said.
「 But, they can’t return to Kansai now that they know our secret. You do understand that, don’t you? 」
Well, true, but…
「 Can I ask Tsukiko to remove their memories instead? 」
I’m sure that she can do that with her Miko power.
Although, if used forcibly on their minds, it’ll break them.
She has to use her power carefully.
「 Feel free. I will give a final check whether it’s still a problem or not, but I’ll leave the girls to your judgment. Although, Kou… 」
Minaho-neesan?
「 They’re still daughters of Yakuza. You can sc.r.a.pe off their memories of coming to Tokyo, but how will they live their lives after that? 」
She smiles.
「 Sorry to say but their parents will not return to Kansai in a healthy shape. I won’t kill them, but they will experience something more horrible than death 」
That means…
「 If we don’t do that, it will not become an example for the Yakuza organizations 」
Oh.
If we’re to slaughter Irokuchou Ichirou and Tendou Sadao, then…
Kansai Yakuza will only bear more grudge against us.
However.
If Irokuchou and Tendou return as crippled people, then…
It becomes a message to them to not go against Kouzuki house.
「 Therefore, their parents can’t live their life normally anymore. They can return to Kansai, but, they might not have a home that will keep them safe 」
Yeah.
「 Also, we can’t give them funds until they graduate from high school, or refer them to a good job for them to live without their parents. We do not have the leeway to give the daughters of enemy that much. Or rather, if you do that, what about the next one? Yakuza who have money problems would come after Kouzuki house to let their children live in luxury 」
That’s true.
It’ll punish them, but if they know that they can guarantee the safety of their children, then…
「 I can’t also tell them to return to Kansai like that 」
「 Correct. We can give them a bullet train ticket to return home but the problem is what’s after that 」
Minaho-neesan said.
「 Once they return to their home area, their circ.u.mstances will force them to use compensated dating to survive. And you have to imagine that 」
They’re the daughters of the sacrificial p.a.w.ns.
They probably don’t have any relatives that can take custody of them.
「 Of course, if you don’t care about what happens to them, then you can do that 」
Huh?
「 Yo-chan’s not a city hall or a school teacher. It’s not your place to think about their happiness. Therefore, if you think “What’s with her, what an unpleasant woman! She makes me angry. f.u.c.k off!” or when you think “I don’t care whatever happens to her in the future,” then you can send them back to Kansai penniless 」
Nei said.
「 Yes. We want you to learn from this opportunity, and so, this will be your training to become the boss that moves the underground group, Kuromori. You don’t have to think of everyone’s public welfare 」
Minaho-neesan said.
「 So far, Yo-chan just accepts everything and you managed to resolve it all, but it’s not always like that. If the number of the family continues to increase, you can’t move as freely as before, Yo-chan 」
「 That’s right, you will come across scenarios where you have to decide that you can’t save the person, That you have to abandon them, that you have to cut them down 」
So that’s why…
「 If you’re alone, then all the heavy responsibility are all yours, but, if you want to live for the family, then, sorry but you need to abandon all the heavy burdens that you shouldn’t carry 」
Sometimes, that means deciding to cut someone away.
「 And we want you to learn that from Tendou Otome and her friends 」
I…
「 You can’t be kind to those you can’t accept in the family like they are one. Don’t look at them with compa.s.sion, but ascertain that they’re capable personnel. You have to experience firsthand that you have people you need to discard as you can’t do anything for them. Is that right? 」
I may feel sorry for them, but I shouldn’t save people I can’t.
We don’t have that much power.
If I try to save everyone, my whole family will burst.
「 That’s not enough 」
Edie?
「 The weight of responsibility will crush you, Darling, if you live for the sake of the family 」
Edie looked at Minaho.
「 Minaho, you should give Darling another choice 」
Choice?
「 If Darling wants a girl as his slave, not as his family, then we can accept that girl as Darling’s slave, someone outside the family 」
Huh?
「 True. That’s also essential. Kou would also want a girl outside the family that he can use to relieve his pent up l.u.s.t 」
W-Wait, Minaho-neesan?
「 I recommend the loli twins. Darling, you still haven’t tasted twins, have you? 」
H-Hey, Edie?
「 Okay, if Kou seriously wants them as his s.e.x slaves, then we can take those girls. But, they will not live in our mansion, but in the new Kuromori brothel that we’re preparing 」
Minaho-neesan said.
「 That means making s.p.a.ce for Darling’s harem, right? 」
No, hey?!
Why did it come to that?
「 Yo-chan, Minaho-oneechan’s giving you a wildcard 」
Nei smiles.
Then, she looked at the monitor showing Tendou Otome’s room.
「 They have different girls in there, and of course, Yo-chan has to discard some of them, but still… 」
The three girls still complain about Tendou Otome.
Sonoko-san looks like she’s in pain.
The girls who are watching show unease in their faces.
「 Even so, if Yo-chan has someone he can’t discard no matter what, but can’t add to the family either, then… 」
Nei…
「 Minaho-oneechan’s saying that she can take them, named as Yo-chan’s s.e.x slave. That’s the last resort, a wild card 」
