Hearing her mother, the three year old Mao-chan bows her head.
HelloIm Mao!

Hello, Mao-chan
Megu greets her.
Then, Mana
Weve met each other before but its first time for Mana, right?>
Megu smiles at Mana-chan.
UnHello, Mao-chan. Im Mana!
Mana bends her waist and greets Mao-chan with a matching line of sight.
Onee-san is Mana-san? Im Mao!
Rightwe only have a slight difference!
She smiled at Nagisas daughter.
Mao and ManaManamao?
Mao laughs.
Also, its also your first time
Nagisa looks at MIchi.
Im aware of your face and name
Kudou papa never neglects thorough investigation.
Nagisas file must be in there too.
Im Kudou Michi. In this occasionIm in the lowest seat as Masters servant
Michi bows her head.
My, is that so?
Nagisa looks at me.
Un. Michis Misuzus guard butshe decided to turn Misuzu and me her master
Somehowthis is hard to explain for some reason.
Well fine. Its more fun to have morelittle sisterstheres no problem as long as you accept them. Welcome toSisters association!
RightNagisas also a member ofSisters association
Hello, Im Mao!
Mao-chan greets Michi with a smiling face.
Im Michimy best regards
This warrior lady lowers her head politely to the little girl.
Masterthis child too will be masters?
HeyMichi
Mao-chans still three years old.
Thats the intention. I intend to have him give his love when shes around 10 years old!
WaitNagisa!?
ThereforeMichi-chanhelp out with Maos education too!
Certainly
No noif you let Michi give her education
Mao-chan would join the combat faction
By the way, Minaho-san
Nagisa speaks.
You cant stay in the corner!
Nagisa smiles calmly.
What do you mean?
There are a lot of old guests in this venue right now. We have to greet everyone
UhmNagisa.
True, we know thatKuromoriguests are coming but
Everyones going to a place with their wife and familythey would hate to see someone from a brothel
Therefore, were stuck in the corner of the lobby.
At such timesI think that we must treasure the relationship with people
NAgisa said in a warm tone.
Mao and I will be greeting them firstMinaho-san and Katsuko, come when I call you okay!
Nagisa?
Leaving behind the surprised Minaho-neesan, Nagisa and Mao-chan
Lets go! Mao!
Okaay, Mama!
The old men in the suit coming from the entrancelets start with that one!
Un! Lock On!
Thenthe beautiful Mama and the Angelic daughter attacks!
My, Yamashiro-san, its been a while!
Nagisa speaks gently, softly.
Y-You?!
The old woman looking like the wife and the secretary shows up a surprised expression.
Its Katagai, excuse my long silencethis girl is my daughterMao, greet them!
Hello! Im Katagai Mao! Three years old! Nihihihi!
Mao-chan smiles.
Who are you?
The wife looks at Nagisa with a suspicious face.
Nagisa-san smiles nonchalantly
I was a a secretary of Kuromori enterprise beforewhen I was a company employee, Ive been indebt with president Yamashiro. Ive retired after this child was born so Ive been completely busy being a parentits been what, 3? Four years since weve last seen each other! So Nostalgic!
Nagisas pushes her high-tension!
U-Unwell, thats how it is
The old man agrees with her story for the time being.
You seem to be healthy. Youre going to watch your grandchild, Yasue-san today?
Its been years since her prostitute age.
Nagisa seems to have memorized her customers information.
Thats rightbut why are you here?
The old man is still puzzled
It feels strange when a retired prostitute appears at todays celebrity children dance presentation.
Ive been invited by Kouzuki Misuzu-san!
Nagisa shows her card.
Kouzuki-san?
Yes. I am Misuzu-sans flower arrangement teacher
Nagisa purposely speaks on loud voice
Nagisa and Mao-chan are already attracting attention of the people around them.
Especiallysome restless men who have visitedKuromoribefore.
Ive become independent after my retirement so Im now running a flower shop. Kouzuki-san has been really helpful establishing the company
She appeals strongly with her relationship with KouzukiKakka
Thenthe suspicion of the wife on her husband disappears.
Perhaps, she has recognized that Nagisa is one of KouzukiKakkasmistress.
Under that impressionshe believes that shes not related to her husband.
She wont imagine that Nagisa was a prostitute
Myyou are acquainted with Kouzuki-san?
The wifes attitude changed immediately.
YouIll just have a talk with this person about Kouzuki-san
The old man tells his wife
UnderstoodIll head to my seat first. Excuse me
The old woman heads to the theater along with the secretary
Reallywhat a courageous girl
Katsuko-nee mutters as she look at Nagisa.
You do know that Nagisa and I were abducted by Shirasaka Sousuke during our first year in high school, dont you?
Un
That is Nagisa and Katsuko-nees dark past./
Im a weak human soif I wasnt with Nagisa whos mentally strong, I think I mightve gotten mad. That girls brightness and courage always saves me
Katsuko-nee.
Im no match against Nagisa. Ive always thought of itI want to be someone like Nagisa
Katsuko-nee smiles sadly.
That girlher calmness and kindness, she quickly became the breadwinner among thewomenof the mansion. That girl is a woman truly loved by everyone
Nagisa put the old man aside and called the surrounding men.
Its been a while, Umemiya-sama!
Hello, Im Mao!
My, Yasuoka-sensei! Its me, Nagisa!
Nice to meet you! Im Mao!
The beautiful Mama and toddler
The elderly men gather together even more.
Nagisas graceful smile without any evil
Mao-chans innocent smile
The old guests were drawn by them
Even though her work period is only a year
Katsuko-nee said.
And yetthose famous people come to her side
Un
To be honest, I think its amazing.
When I noticed, Nagisas being surrounded by more than 15 elderly gentlemen.
Gathering this manynobody would think that Nagisas a former prostitute.
In such a place, a pair of mother and daughter are surrounded by celebrities.
It feels like shes a powerful woman coming from a famous family somewhere.
After that girl was banished by Shirasaka SousukeI did all my best to be a substitute for NagisaBut it was no good. Shes the top earner of the mansion but she wasnt able to become a woman loved by everyone like Nagisa
Katsuko-nee.
You no longer need to, Katsuko-nee!
I said.
Katsuko-nee and Nagisa already have me. You dont need other men anymore!
Right
Katsuko-nee smiles at me.
Just you staying with me will be enough. You do love us from the bottom of your heart!
I also love Katsuko-nee and Nagisa. I love you both the same!
Thank youdear
At that timeNagisa turned this way.
Minaho-san, Katsuko! Come here! Hurry up and greet everyone!
At this stageNagisa calls Minaho-neesan.
Nagisas got us
Minaho-neesan mutters.
Ojou-samalets go
Rightwe cant just turn Nagisas goodwill to waste
Minaho-neesan and Katsuko-nee heads to the group surrounding Nagisa.
As guard, Margo-san follows behind.
Yo-chancome here
Nei-san calls me
Here you go
She gives me an earphone.
Maru-chans hiding a microphone in her!
Nei-san puts earphones on herself too .
I also put in the earphones in a hurry.
We eavesdrop the conversation of the group surrounding Nagisa.
Its been a while. Everyone
This is Minaho-neesans voice.
Is it okay for you to be here?
A mans voice.
Your organization is in a lot of trouble right now I think
Last nightthe scandal of Shirasaka Sousuke is being heavily reported.
Shirasaka Sousuke, was once a member of our organization but its different now. We have banished Shirasaka Sousuke
Unbeleivable
Umu. Wasnt he the representative of your organization?
No, Shirasaka Sousuke was only one of the co-operatorshes not the representative
Butfor us, you and Mr. Shirasaka Sousuke are people of the same organization
The guests knows the relationship of Shirasaka Sousuke andKuromori
They cant be deceived easily.
Thenwhy do you think our existence hasnt been revealed yet among the scandals of Shirasaka Sousuke reported?
Minaho-neesan asks.
Thats right.
The crime Shirasaka Sousuke has committed have flowed to the internet and press one after another.
ButThe organizationKuromoriisnt exposed.
Could this be Mr. Kouzukis will?
One of the gentlemen asks.
Yesas you know, our organization has stopped operating since last autumn. After that, we have entrusted the whole organization to Mr. Kouzuki
With that saidMr. Shirasaka Sousukes scandal now?
Kouzuki-samas aim is not Shirasaka Sousuke himself, but the parent house?
Minaho-neesan bluffs.
Shirasaka house?
It means hes aiming at Shirasaka newspaper and TV station?
The mens surprised.
Even if the head of Shirasaka houseShirasaka Moritsugu loses his influence in the world, I think itll be convenient for Kouzuki-sama
Minaho-neesan speaks to the gentlemen in one breath.
He intends to crush Shirasaka Moritsugu?
True, Mr. Moritsugu isnt on a friendly relationship with Kouzuki-san
No, isnt he trying to get the newspaper and TV companies again?
Actually, with the blunder at yesterdays press conferenceI heard that unifying power of Mr. Shirasaka Moritsugu is decreasing
The Anti-Mr. Moritsugu group is planning a coup detat
Either way, the newspaper company would be in bad condition
The gentlemen speaks to each other.
As expected, most of them are business owners.
Anywaythis is all related to Kouzuki-san?
One of the men strongly asks Minaho-neesan
Of course. Young women like Katsuko and myself cant think of such outrageous things, we dont have the power to carry it out either
Minaho-neesan calmly spouts a big lie
Uhmthis is what Ive heard
One man speaks up.
Shirasaka Sousukeis trying to sell the customer list of your organization to a crime syndicatethus, he was punished by Kouzuki-sama
That is the truth
Minaho-neesan speaks clearly.
Shirasaka Sousuke, tried to sell everyones name and other materials to the people on the underground society. Thereforethe organization sought Kouzuki-sans power and disposed of it. Kouzuki-samas instructions is to thoroughly erase him from the society
Minaho-neesan seems to be creating an image thatKuromoriis a group of weak girls.
All of it were done with KouzukiKakkaspowershes thinking of hiding the power under the shadow of Kouzuki house.
Waitso wheres the list of names and data
In the end, it hasnt fallen to Shirasaka Sousukes hands, so please be relieved. We do keep the documents in the organization. All related materials that have been hidden by Shirasaka Sousuke has been burned together with the house yesterday
Thenlast nights news, Shirasaka Sousukes retreat burned down last night?
YesKouzuki-samas force are behind it
Well said.
Minaho-neesan, werent you in the site and put fire on the documents?
Thenwe do not need to worry, do we?
Yes, there are currently no problems. Among the leaked information in the media, there wont be anything related to us nor the gusts, its Kouzuki-samas power
Minaho-neesans voice makes the men feel relieved.
Its really okay, isnt it?
In that regardShirasaka house, especially Mr. Shirasaka Moritsugu cant be said to be in good health. Theres an analogy of the cornered mouse biteswe dont know what kind of thing a cornered person would do
Minaho-neesan purposely fuels them.
UnderstoodThough I was in the neutral faction, Ill stick with Kouzuki-san
Umu we cant be at ease as long as we havent taken the newspapers and television from Mr. Shirasaka Moritsugu
I will move as well. I have a decent stock on that newspaper company
If you have stocks with them, please dispose of them immediatelytheir prices would be falling down from now on
When the price fallsKouzuki-san will be buying it
I see, then its better to keep it for now
Pinching salt would cause your fall
Umu, its Kouzuki-san so apart from television, he might intend to crush the newspaper company
Yes, his opinion is to reduce the number of Japanese newspaper companies
The gentlemens conversation turned lively.
For the time beingthe doubts onKuromorihas disappeared.
By the wayKuromori-kun
One of the gentlemen changes his tone and speaks.
When will you resume your place?
Eh?
People with social status like usneeds a place to keep secrets and play like yours. From what you talked about, you have used Kouzuki-sans power to protect our personal information from Shirasaka Sousukes recklessness. We appreciate it
YesShirasaka has always been a man you cant trust since before butI do trust Kuromori-kun
Youre just like your grandfatherthat old man doesnt spare any sacrifice just for the trust
Minaho-neesans grandfatherKuromori Kounosuke.
The owner of the suit Im borrowing now.
Im also borrowing his name too.
Im very sorry butfor now, its unknown
Minaho-neesan speaks.
I see, then its up for Kouzuki-san to think too
Then, lets talk to Kouzuki-san
I will talk too
Then, should we sign a plea to everyone?
Sure. Kouzuki-san likes that
Either way, the rude man named Shirasaka Sousuke is now gone. With this, we can regain the place to relax like old days confidently
I see.
The elder gentlemen who have called out Nagisa
These people are the guests of the oldKuromori towerera
And perhapstheyre the most important guests ofKuromori
In that caseId like to have Katsuko-kun accompany me again
One of the old men said with a smile.
UnId would like to ask of it too
Me too
ThenKatsuko-nee.
Im very sorry. Katsuko has already retired
Why?
Katsuko-nee looked at everyone.
I would like to say that everyone in here is a really great guest butNagisa and I were kidnapped by Shirasaka Sousuketurned to prostitutes
The gentlemen fell silent.
We were forcibly separated from our familyunable to go to school, subjected to violence and intimidation, raped multiple timesturned to prostitute.
I never knew
Oh, we surely thought that you were prostitutes by will
Minaho-neesan speaks.
That was the the operation when grandfather managed. Bringing beautiful ladies from parents with debt from the rural areasafter confirming that theyre willing, they come out of the mansion. Howeverwhen Shirasaka Sousuke was involved in the managementeverything turned to a messand the prostitutes werent even paid properly
Then that makes them slaves!
Yesyou do know that I was a prostitutes before, dont you?
Minaho-neesan asks, several of the gentlement
I do know
Un, me too
I, in those daysyour organization was in silence
Thats right.
There are a lot of people who hated the brothel turned to a mess when Shirasaka entered management.
After Minaho-neesan turned to an operator, they tried to call back the former guests but they never came back again.
Im also one of those kidnapped people. Yuuka-neesan protested to Kouzuki-sama about Shirasakas villainyI joined as an operator and Kouzuki-samas auditor also came. Then, it has improved a lot
KouzukiKakkasauditorKyouko Dothnomechey-san.
Iif it wasnt for Ojou-sama and Nagisa, I wouldve gotten crazy I think!
Katsuko-nee mutters.
Im the one who should say thatIf Katsuko wasnt with me, I wouldve committed suicide!
Nagisa shouts.
Im very timidso I always go frivolous and smile forcibly right? But, Katsukos strongKatsuko is substantially stiff, I was able to endure it without despairing!
What are you saying! Nagisas way stronger! I was just getting cold feettremble in fear. Nagisas always been smiling no matter how cruel they were with youyou took initiative protecting methereforeI!
Im not that strong! Its all thanks to Katsuko!
Its not! If it wasnt for Nagisa, I wouldve been dead!
Thats when Mao-chan cuts in.
Dont fight! Uuuuu!!
Mao-chan scholded the two.
Mao
Mao-chan
Mama and Katsuko-chan, get along! Embrace! You two!
Nagisa and Katsuko looked at each other.
Un, Katsuko.
Yes, Nagisa
The two embraced each other
We hugged like this back then, didnt we?
Yeswe endured the frightening nights like this
Mao-chan smiles.
With this, its case closed! Nihihihi!
One gentleman looks at Mao-chan.
Nagisa-kunthis girls father
Yes its unknown
You dont intend to investigate?
YesI didnt do DNA tests or any other methods
Why?
I think that the man who thinks that he wants to be this girls father from the bottom of his heart then hell be thefather The biological father is insignificant
Shirasaka Sousuke let Nagisa give birth to a child whose father is unknown.
Even if the men who raped Nagisa were checkedtheres no meaning.
The man who took part in Shirasakas bizarre plan raping Nagisa cant be a decent man
Understoodif anything happens to Nagisa-kun and Katsuko-kunyou can consult me. I wont do anything ill
No, I wont let only Tatsunami-san show a good face. I will help as much as possible too
I will cooperate too. If its something I can do, you can ask me anything
Me tooas long as my wife doesnt find out
The gentlemen laughed.
Trueits bad if your family discovers
But, we wont hold back helping out if its something honest
Kuromori-san, the same is for you too
Yeswe are quite indebt with that mansion!
I discover Nagisas amazingness again.
Nagisa chose the people with decent sense from among her guests.
The people who will help her andKuromoriin the future!
Weve gained strongalliesagain
