Im Fujimiya Reika. Im appointed as Ruriko-sama and Misuzu-samas guardmy best regards

Kouzuki security services top ace, Fujimiya-san

As if, shes dressed as a male role in Takarazuka.

Shes cross-dressed as a British gentleman.

Gray suit, brown best tenblue necktie.

Brown leather shoes.

Though shes a slender and tall ladyher male costume suits her well.

Far from being strangeit upgrades her charm.

This suit must be also a high quality article. I can tell by just looking at it.

Its perfectly fit to her bodyits custom-made.

Her short hair is beautifully combed.

An amazing beauty.

On top of thatshe has elegance and grace.

Standing with her spine stretched outit conveys the lightness and toughness of her body.

This personshes strong.

Shes having a brown leather gloves in her hand

Thenshes holding a thick cane.

Im honored to have Fujimiya-san with us

Ruriko-san said with a smile.

Im sorrytheres an information that theres a troublesome enmity that might infiltrate

Fujimiya-san said calmly.

Is that so?

Yoshiko-san makes a worried face.

Please be relievedMy team is already mobilized

Fujimiya-san smiled.

Yes. Fujimiya-san came here so theres nothing to worry about

Ruriko-san answered.

However, my body is only one soIm very sorry but Ruriko-sama, Misuzu-sama, please stay together for a while., Of course, Yoshiko-san too

Fujimiya-san clearly distinguishes Misuzu and Ruriko-san assamaand Yoshiko-san assan

Her subjects to guard will only be Misuzu and Ruriko-sanYoshiko-san will only after it.

Its possible that the enmity approaches Using Yoshiko-san. If you need anything, my group will accompany you so Yoshiko-san, please stay by Ruriko-samas side

Certainly

Yoshiko-san replied.

After thatFujimiya-san ignored us and looked at Michi.

You are MIsuzu-samas guard?

Michi lowers her head

Im Kudou Michi

Fujimiya-san looked at Michis state

Hmmyour posture is good. I can tell that youre properly trained. Your grace is also goodyoure raised well!

Michi was analyzed by just looking.

This isnt from Mr. Kudous education but from MIsuzu-samas guidance

Fujimiya-san made a conclusion.

Yes. Michi has enrolled in our school as my guard. She tries to be on the top class so she can be by my side as much as possible

Misuzu said.

Misuzu was the one who put MIchi on the super ojou-sama school.

She reached the first-class since she was smallif shes not mingling with the first class people, she wont master the real grace

Misuzu really loves this three years younger warrior girl

Mr. Kudou is someone who posses a top-notch skillbut unfortunately, he lacks elegance. If he didnt have that shortcoming, then he wont be under the table but the top of the surface

Fujimiya-san said in regret.

Im very sorry. Father loves working behind the scenes

Michi answered bashfully.

You have to negotiate with people hard to handle behind the scenes so Mr. Kudou can naturally take such attitude. If you serve for that long, youll become a person with a vulgar behavior

Therefore, I pulled out Michi from Kudou-san at early stage

Misuzu answers.

Kudou-san has taught her only the practice of techniques butmajority of her daily life is with me

I think thats an adequate judgement. Grace is something cultivated by every day life

Fujimiya-san said.

Surely, in three years, you will grow into a wonderful guardyoure growing up to be an outstanding talent appropriate for chief Tanizawas eyes

No, Michi wont belong to Kouzuki security service

Misuzu declared clearly.

Michi will always be my exclusive guard

YesI will serve only Misuzu-sama

Fujimiya-san

Is that so? Thats regrettable. Belonging to Kouzuki security service means pledging loyalty to Kouzki housecertainly, it might be necessary to become a vassal only for Misuzu-sama. Ruriko-sama has Yoshiko-san with her

Yes, thereforeMisuzu needs Michi

Ruriko-san has Yoshiko-san whos three years old older than her as herretainer

On the contrary, Misuzu has Michi whos three years younger as herguard

If something happened, youre free to consult me anytime. Even if youre not a member of Kouzuki security serviceyoure a junior who protects Kouzuki house

Fujimiya-san told Michi gently.

Eat more and make your body grow more. Your endurance is still lacking as of now, isnt it?

YesThank you very much. Uhm, Fujimiya-sama

What is it?

Could you give me some training at least once?

Me?

Yes. I would like to see the techniques of theIce SwordswomanFujimiya-sama

Michi bows her head to Fujimiya-san

I do prefer my other alias

Fujimiya-san grips her cane firmly.

This isnt even mentionedwhen I have the time, I take as much enemies as possible. For some reason, I was called Beat to death SwordswomanIll show you all my skills

Beat to death Swordswoman

No waydoes she beat up with that stick?

Fujimiya-sans a first class fencerand yet why do you not use swords?

Misuzu asks.

Swords arent suitable for the guards this era

Fujimiya-san answered.

When you cut bodies with sword, itll spurt bloodwhen that happens, itll hinder your combat with multiple humans. Theres blood sticking to the sword too, itll worsen the condition of the blade. If you swing it a lot of times, no matter what sword it is, itll chip, break, or bend. Above all, fighting with sword is terrible. Its not something you should show to a subject whos from a good family

I-I see.

Fujimiya-san looks at her stick.

Canes originated in the west as a substitute to a sword. In the first place, its a weapon. However, in modern times, carrying around a stick isnt considered armed. Thats the advantages of the cane. It also looks elegant too

Fujimiya-san kisses the handle of the cane lightly.

This cane is custom-madeit weighs three kilograms. Its made of special alloy so itll never break or bend. I love the striking power of this cane!

Striking power

Even if the enmity is wearing a bulletproof vestif I strike them with my stick, theyll receive a fracture and be made impossible to fight. If theyre repelled quicklythen you can defeat the enmity without even the subject noticing

Therefore shes theBeat to death Swordsman

We are guards. If the assassin uses firearm then theres no need to fear bloodstreamwe have to avoid the blood flow thoroughly. The blood of the subject are ourselvesfurthermore, we shouldnt let the enmitys blood flow. Blood seen by our subjects to guard means shame in our work. Therefore, I put everything in the blow. There is nothing I cant break with my full power strike

Fujimiya-san said.

I see, the thought of doing everything gracefullyis fundamentally different from Kudou papa.

Kudou papa looks like hes just kicking everything around.

True, Kudou-papa cant be trusted to guard a famous person.

By the way, Fujimiya-san

Misuzu said.

Why are you not greeting the people important to me?

Speaking of which

Fujimiya-san didnt greet me, Megu or Mana.

Or ratherwere completely ignored.

Could this be

Is this because were fromKuromori?

Fujimiya obviously knows our identity.

Fujimiya-sanyou became my guard, right?

Misuzu speaks strongly.

ThenI think its reasonable for you to greet my dear friends

Fujimiya-san.

Excuse my impoliteness. Im Fujimiya Reika of Kouzuki security service!

She bows her head to us.

Fujimiya-sans a first class professional guard.

Even if she despisesKuromorifrom the bottom of her heart

She will follow the order of one of her masters, Misuzu

Kuromori Kounosuke

I greeted with my alias.

Either way, Fujimiya-san knows my true identity.

But, I decided to declare myself as a member ofKuromori

Yoshida Megumi

Yoshida Mana

Both of them bowed.

The namesYamamineandShirasakacant be spoken in this place.

I think theres a lot of things happening but pleaseprotect Misuzu and Ruriko-san

I told Fujimiya-san.

Please leave it to me

Fujimiya-san answered.

Thenwe hear a knock.

Yes?

Yoshiko-san answers.

Its Kanako

Kanako-san.

Come in

Ruriko-san answered, the door opened.

Kanako-san shows herself.

Thank you for the wait. Misuzu-sanits about time the person before Misuzu-san ends herstage rehearsalso please stand-by on the stage!

Kanako-san said in a hurry.

Its because the opening time is approaching.

Understood, thank you

Youre welcome!

Kanako-san closes the door.

Why is Kanako-san coming instead of the stage director assistant?

Ruriko-san asks curiously.

Consideration. Ruriko-san is with me and on top of that, Fujimiya-san is here too !

The two successor daughters of Kouzuki houseand the top ace of Kouzuki security service.

Normal people would be frightened and find it hard to approach.

ThereforeKanako-san whos friends with the two came all the way to call Misuzu.

Kanako-sans a good girl.

Then, I will be going. Danna-sama

I will head to the stage side tooYoshiko

Yes, Ruriko-sama

Earlier, Fujimiya-san said that they should stick together as much as possible

Ruriko-san seems to have decided to go to the stage side along with Misuzu.

Un, well go back to the lobby

I smiled at Misuzu.

We cant go to the stage side with them.

Id like to see Misuzus dance on the real performance, not on training.

Ill cheer from the audience seatsMisuzu and Ruriko-san, do your best

Yes, thank you very much. Kuromori-sama

Ruriko-san said.

Please wait when the symposium is over okay?

Misuzu told me.

Yeah.

Soon , KouzukiKakkawill be coming to this theater too

Misuzusfiancewill come too.

I must confront them.

I know

I embraced Misuzu once again.

Danna-sama, I love you

Misuzu told me in front of everyone watching.

MichiRuriko-san and I will be followed with Fujimiya-san. Please guard Danna-sama!

Certainly

Michi answers her lord.

We go back to the lobby together.

TheKuromorigroup occupied the sofa in the lobby.

Welcome back, want to drink coffee?

Katsuko-nee asked me.

Thanks!

Unlike earlier, the people in the lobby has increased.

Its about time for the doors to open.

At the reception, people of Konpeki school are starting their preparations.

The children first coming out on thesymposiumare doing their last practice in the lobby.

Of course, those girls have theirguardsandattendantswith them too.

The security guards in Kouzuki security service uniform have also increased.

In the lobby

Everyone fromKuromoriis clearly distinctive.

Yeah

Somethings strange

Margo-san and Nei-san arent that strange.

Katsuko-neeshes barely okay.

Minaho-neesanits slightly strange.

Her dress isnt strange however

Its clearly isnt an atmosphere of someone coming to see the childrens dance presentation.

Then theres Yukino.

The hell are you?

This black and yellow striped dress has too much destructive power.

Wearing this on a public place, her hobby cant be understood.

Or ratherI dont get what it means.

The braid and the thick black edge glasses strengthens it further

Un, looking at her from the distanceshe looks like an advertising character.

Its like an advertisement character of a honey product on a small local food company.

Like shes;Honey Soldier, Yukino-chan

It made me want to eat pancakes.1

Anyway

When this group gathersits extremely standing out.

Maika Dont get too close to me during the opening

Yukino tells Mana.

Why?

Shes called Maika so she speaks to her sister in ill humor.

If were lined up then they might notice that were the daughters of Shirasaka you know? Your friends will be coming to watch today, wont they/

Yukinos worried about that.

Its okay. Nobody would notice that youre Shirasaka Yukino.

With your fathers scandal reported on TV

Theres no daughter who would come out to the public with such an interesting figure.

If someone noticed ittheyd definitely avoid you.

Nei-san, do you have a magic marker?

Mana ignores her sisters words and called out Nei-san.

I do, whatcha gonna do?

Ill put a hugeShirasakaon Yukino-sans forehead

Mana

As usual, shes harsh with Yukino.

How was with Misuzu-san?

Margo-san asks me.

Minaho-neesan looks this way.

Misuzu and Ruriko-san have been entrusted to Fujimiya-san

You met her?

Yes. We were in the dressing room when she came

What kind of impression you have with her?

Margo-san asks me.

Dignified and cool, I guess. I can tell that what shes wearing is a first class itemher shoes were firm too

I speak my impressions right away.

Her behavior is clean, her speech tooAbove all, she looks so strong, she feels reliable

Fujimiya is the top among the Kouzuki security serviceshes a first class

Yeahtrue.

Somehow, Kouzuki security service feels strange doesnt it? Kudou-san, chief Tanizawa, director Yamaoka, Fujimiya-sanall of them are different types of people

True, they have different atmospheres.

Its because they have different departments

Margo-san said.

Kouzuki security service is a company specialized in protecting VIPs

Errwhat does that mean?

Yoshida-kun, how do you think Kouzuki security service accomplish their work?

Minaho-neesan asks me.

For exampleif you receive a request from a person. It seems that Im targeted by a bad guy so please protect meand Kouzuki security service accepts that requesthow do you think the job will be done?

That is

To protect the person who made the request?

How can you make sure that the person is protected?

That isdefend the person and fight the the bad guys

Sadlythats not how business works

Margo-san said.

Kouzuki security service have their guards contracted for a certain period of time. A month, three, half a yearor forever. If the guard is attacked during that period, its Kouzuki security service loss

Why?

When theyre attacked, the subject will be in a dangerous situation right? If possible, nobody wants to be attacked, right?

Wellthats certainly true.

Therefore the guard contract for Kouzuki security service, they issue a unit outside while guarding the subject at the same time. Those people will figure out who will attack the guard and drive them out thoroughly.

Does this mean?

Thats right. Kudou-san is in charge with that kind of work

Thoroughly investigating and eliminating the assailant in advance.

If the contract period is one monthwithin one month, they will dispose all of the people who are targeting the subject

I-I see.

Kudou-sansundersurfaceteam is actually fulfilling the core of the work. However, not everyone knows that. Even if you ask the person who asked for a guard, they sometimes dont know. Theres a lot of people who rely on their secretary for buisiness.

Whats best for customers is when theres nobody attacking, the contract period ended, and they reportIts OK now

Minaho-neesan said.

The hidden unit is invisible to the customer. What the customer only see is the person guarding themselvestherefore, director Yamaokas integrated security department all look good, and are easy to understand

Margo-san said.

The minimum requirement is to have a good physique and a rank in martial arts. Thus its better if you won some tournament

So the guard sticking to the subject is only for appearances sake?

I asked.

I wont go that far. They are training very strictlyif youre not competent, you wont be hired in the first place. But, the contents of your job is different

Director Yamaoka and the people in his integrated security departmentarent told about the activities done by Kudou-san and others from thebackground

Minaho-neesan?

If they knew that the person from behind the scenesalready crushed the possibility of attack in advancethe tension of the guards protecting their subject would be gone. Therefore, theyre not told about it

I see

Thenthe team lead by chief Tanizawa is an exception. Theyre the elite counter-terrorist group guarding the highest level of VIPs

TrueFujimiya-san has a different atmosphere.

Tanizawa-san and others have the first class fighting powerand yet they have the grace and education to cope with the elite people

Fujimiya-san is definitely one but, Tanizawa-san

Hes quite a man with a broken attitude

He has that kind of attitude because Im a member ofKuromori Chief Tanizawa is a person who can cope with the elite people and the peoplebehind the scenes Hes like that in front of Kudou-san and me butthats because he judged that its better to talk to us casually

I seeFujimiya-san knew that Im fromKuromoriand tried to ignore me.

Thats a natural response from the elite people.

However, chief Tanizawa is an officer in Kouzuki security servcice

He also gives Kudou-san and others frombehindinstructions

He has to negotiate with people from organizations like us.

Thereforehe was talking casually.

KouzukKakkahas his own team able to talk with the people of the elite world. Thats chief Tanizawa

I seethats hard work.
