No, this is a bit different from devotion!

Misuzu tells Ruriko-san.

Danna-sama has helped me changed my clothes just now but I also do all I can to serve Danna-sama. Its my pleasure to serve Danna-sama. I think that Im born to give this one a happy life

Ruriko-sans surprised by Misuzus answer.

Misuzu-oneesamadoes Onii-samas existence that big for you?

YesI love him from the bottom of my heart

Misuzu smiles at me.

LoveI can understand family love and lord-retainer love butI dont understand the love between men and women

What Ruriko-san knows are only the depiction of love coming out of the novels she read.

That also hadKakkaexclude all that has sexual notations

She really doesnt know anything but fairy tale love story.

I definitely call Danna-sama on morning when I wake up and at night before sleepiong

Could it beMisuzu/

Its about the permission to pee?

Isnt that a bit too early to tell Ruriko-san?

ThenJust hearing Danna-samas voice makes me feel relieved. I feel happy. Just knowing that Danna-samas fineit makes me happy

Misuzu?

Meeting him in person makes me happier. Just by walking side by side, it makes my heart throb. Danna-sama always listens to whatever I say with all his best. Whatever I want, whatever I seekhes always able to sense it. Hes always doing all his bestthat he was able to overcome the wall of my heart!

Misuzu smiles.

The wall of your heart?

Ruriko-san asks with serious eyes.

Yesliving the life as a daughter of Kouzuki houseIve made a wall surrounding my heart in regards to people. Everyone around methe adults nor schoolmates arent bad people butthey all feel like they only want to make contact with me for the power ofKouzukihouse

I can understand that

Ruriko-san nods.

Kakkastwo granddaughters lived having the same trouble.

Ihate being raised up or being neglected so anywayI just smile at everyone, then be calmly contact everyone gently. Thennot to make any particularly close relationship. If someones too close with me, theyll be targeted with grudge and jealousy, theyll be having harships

YesI am the same as Onee-sama. Try to be as proper as possible, always smilingand yet, try not to be intimate with anyone

ButRuriko-san has Yoshiko-san with her

Misuzu smiles.

YesIm really saved by Yoshikos existence

Ruriko-san speaks her gratitude to theretainergirl whos three years older than her.

Im unworthy of those words

No. Yoshiko is with me so I was able to stay well until to this day

Ruriko-sama

The master-retainer look at each other.

Thats enviablebut I didnt receive aretainerlike Yoshiko-san

Misuzu look at the two

To be honestsince when I entered high school, it feels very suffocatingmy heart is completely worn out. Always alonea life where I cant let my guard down to anyone

Both Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san are listening to Misuzus talk seriously.

Since theyre in the same positionMisuzus talk isnt somebody elses problem.

AhSeki-san and Michi are listening interestingly too.

Thenthe suffering of my heart was understood. Grandfather has introduced someone to me. I was able to release my mind for a few hours a week in that place

That is.

The part time job at Nagisas shop

The lesbian play with Nagisa?

Though its a part time job, Nagisa seems to have put Misuzu on the back of the shop and not let her serve customers

But still, doing work that has nothing to do with Kouzuki house or the Ojou-sama schoolits a nice change of pace.

Is it a therapy or something?

Yoshiko-san asks Misuzu.

Wellthats the feeling

Well, your heart will surely be healed if youre surrounded by the beautiful flowers in the shop

Afterwards, I think that its the lesbian play.

That person has introduced Danna-sama to me

Misuzu looks at me.

Danna-sama has accepted me without knowing that Im someone from the Kouzukihouse No, even if he knew the lineage ofKouzukiDanna-sama never changed his love at me. Hes not concerned about the house, blood relations at all.

Then this means that he trully loves Misuzu-oneesama only!

Ruriko-san looks at me.

Yeseven if I get banished fromKouzukihouse, Danna-sama will continue to love me

I

Whatever hapens to MisuzuIll take responsibility for it. Ill make you happy

Why, Misuzu-sama? That will be going againstKakkaswill. Its a suicidal act to do such things

Seki-san opened her mouth without thinking.

Its not a suicidal act. I will survive anything. Ive got a lot of family that I have to keep happy!

Thats right, I

Misuzus already my family. Were already family. Thats why Ill protect her. Ill definitely make her happy

Are you an idiot?Reality isnt that easy!

Seki-san said but

I know that reality is harshbut shes already my family I wont turn back. I only have to go forward!

Yes. Misuzu is Danna-samasfamily

Misuzu looks at me happily

Michiyoure alsofamilytoop

Michis eyes turn moist.

YesMaster! Misuzu-sama!

Ruriko-san

Onee-samawhat kind of relationship is Onee-samasfamily?

Ruriko-san knows Kouzuki house, clan, its bloodline.

Butshe doesnt knowfamily

The kind offamilywe are talking about

Its a relationship where youd think of helping out no matter how hard it is, without thinking that its troublesomethe want to make them happythat kind of relationship

That is my definition offamily

Yes, thereforeDanna-sama is always thinking of making me, Michi, and the otherfamilyshapiness Me tooI think about how to make Danna-sama, Michi and thefamilyshappiness We dont depend on each other. We cooperate and consider the other party. That relationship makes me happy. I am grateful to God that Danna-sama made me hisfamily

Misuzu.

Do you prefer that family more than Kouzuki house?

Yoshiko-san asks with a surprised face.

Yestheres only happiness Being Danna-samasfamily!

Those words are heavy for me.

Ive got to work hard.

Ive got to make Misuzu happier.

I dont understand

Ruriko-san said sadly.

MyRuriko-san, arent you in a comfortable relationship with Yoshiko-san?

YesI feel easy when Im with Yoshiko

That is the same. The only difference is that we dont have a master-slave relationshipbut equalweve got a lot of members in the family

What is a lot?

Sisters!

Misuzu answers.

The me right now has a lot ofLittle sistersI adore, andelder sistersI respect. All of us have become family through Danna-sama. Were a family sharing a common destiny. Everyone understands that the individual happiness leads to the happiness of thefamilywe always trust and cooperate with each other

That isKuromori

Theres no blood relation in our family. People who have different birth and growththey becamefamilyby their own will. Its a family that accepts each other.

Hearing me, Seki-san

What secret society is that?

Misuzu laughs.

Its not something that big. Weak people not yielding to the strong, people who lend their shoulders at each other as they fight the fate, they became family by chance

YesMisuzus right

Ruriko-san

I dont understand. A relationship thats more important than theKouzukilineage

But, Ruriko-san understands that Danna-sama is someone you can rely on, right?

YesI do. Looking at Kuromori-samas actionshe has his own proper thoughtshes a very courageous person

Its fine if you understand just that for now

Misuzu said in satisfaction.

Misuzus dress up is over.

Nowits about time we go

Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san thinks

Seki-san too

She must be doubting thatKuromoriand me have a negative effect on Misuzu.

Furthermore, shes wondering if this will expand to Ruriko-san.

Theres no need for you to worry so much

Misuzu smiles at Seki-san.

I will properly solve the problems in the Kouzuki house with Grandfather properly. Ruriko-san, you also allow my relationship with Danna-sama, dont you?

That isMisuzu-oneesama and Kuromori-sama really loves each other, I understand thatbut

Ruriko-san falters.

Kouzukihouse

ThereforeI will be negotiating with grandfather. If so, you dont mind, do you?

Onee-samado you really intend to leaveKouzukihouse?

Ruriko-sanseems to be thinking that Misuzu will be eloping with me.

Is this what means to be going againstKakkaswill?

I am prepared for that. My life is being with Danna-sama

Misuzu clearly said.

If you have that resolution thenRuriko wont say anything anymore. Misuzu-oneesama should go the way she believes

Ruriko-san doesnt have the concept of deciding of her own fate. Therefore, shes confused from what Misuzus saying.

Seki-sanshe has her own clear opinion but she wont assert herself strongly. Thats why, shes quiet for now.

Both of them are people who think that its natural to obeyKakkasorder

For them, they cant do anything about Misuzu who said shell talk directly toKakka

Id like Ruriko-san to be there when I talk with Grandfather

Misuzu said.

Yes. That ways betterI also want to know the progress of the situation

Ruriko-san answers.

Leaving the dressing room.

Fujimiya-sans standing, holding on her cane.

You took quite some time

Im very sorry. I talked to Ruriko-san for a while

Misuzu answers

Danna-samasorry

Im pushing the cart thats carrying Misuzu and Ruriko-sans costumes and luggage

I dont mind. This is a mans job

Id like Michi and the two guards to watch around properly

Its also natural for me to carry the luggage of mywoman

I asked to have the car Im using to be at the stage door but?

At the exit of the dressing roomSeki-san asks the guard wearing Kouzuki security service uniform.

Yesits parked in the front

The security guard handed the key.

Thanks

Seki-san takes the key.

Its a state of the art VIP guard car

Looking at the car outside, Fujimiya-san gives her admiration.

The car is a huge limousine.

Yes, its a car that got delivered this month. As my personal car

Seki-san puffs her chest.

Sothis is Seki-sans private car?

The body of the car is painted in pink.

This isPink Cadillac?

Fujimiya-san smiles.

Its only the exterior. The inside is different. The body and the engine are all specially made

Seki-san speaks boastfully.

The bulletproof glass and armor are all new techits also designed to be strong against impacts

Fujimiya-san taps the body of the car with her hands wrapped in leather gloves.

A sound that has the insides filled.

The unconventional American car look is a complete fake.

The cars considerably heavier because of the armor, right?

Fujimiya-san asks Seki-san

Yes. Because of that, weve changed the engine to a high power one. It has a bad fuel cost butthats inevitable. The suspension are all custom made too

If you turn it to a high power engine, then the engine will also be heavy. The body is heavy, the engine is heavyas expected, if the one using it is a heavy then the special car gets heavier too

Fujimiya-san flips Seki-sans switch.

Im not that heavy!

MyI didnt mean it like that. Seki-sans been given by chief Tanizawa a heavy duty of protectingKakka Thats what I mean byheavy

Is that so?

Butif you react that much from what I saidcould it be that Seki-san is recently worrying about her weight?

I dont! Im not worrying about it!

RightSeki-san is an elite top guard after all so she doesnt need to worry about the weight that increases every day

These two, seriously.

Both of them are adults already and yettheir compatibility is bad.

By the waycan I test this state of the art armor?

Fujimiya-san smiles at Seki-san.

Test?

Yes, Im interested in the effects of the new technology. I think I would like to test the robustness of this car bodyhow much can it endure my blow

Fujimiya-san swings her special 3k metal cane.

Id like to know the strength of the armor of the fender here

S-Stop!

Its fine. I will only strike with my full power. Itll only dent the armor. Even if a hole opens the armor, Ill stop to the degree where it would hinder driving the car

Fujimiya-san exerts effort.

Power comes to the hand holding the stick.

D-Dont! Fujimiya Reika!

Seki-san shouted Fujimiya-sans name in panic.

Speaking of which, Fujimiya-sans name is Reika

The beauty named Reika wears a gallant mens clothingshe looks like a Takarazuka male role.

Thats enough playtime, Fujimiya-san

Misuzu said.

Neither Ruriko-san nor I want to ride a car with a dent on it

Ruriko-san nods at Misuzus back.

By your willI will do the armor test on a different location

Fujimiya-san bows at the two

Geez

Seki-san opens the door in anger.[

Nowplease come in Misuzu-sama, Ruriko-sama

The two of them try to step into the car

Wait

I stop the two

Whats wrong?

Ruriko-san turned back to me looking surprised.

This car is sent by someone from Kouzuki security service?

I dont know who it is but one of the guards brought this from the parking lot

It is, what about it?

Seki-san looks at me.

I think we should check the car first

Are you saying that you cant trust the work of Kouzuki security service?

Seki-san shows displeasure from what I said.

Thats not itif I was the enemy, then Ill blend with the guards and set up something in this car

A transmitter or a wiretap.

Seki-san and Fujimiya-san looks at each other.

Obey Danna-samas wordscheck it immediately

The two guards jumped into the car

While theyre checking through the sheets and interior

Theres one

Here too

The hidden equipment come out one after another

Please wait a moment

Fujimiya-san takes out a phone size machine from her pocket

Its a machine to check if theres suspicious signals are being sent out!

She walks around the car with the machine while explaining to us.

Its okay now. There doesnt seem to be any other equipment installed in here

Fujimiya-san said

Theenemyhas already entered Kouzuki security sercice

Seki-san shows a bitter face.

The enemy is a genuine pro. What should we do, should we report to director Yamaoka?

Fujimiya-san asks Seki-san.

Lets stopwe dont know who the enemy is, everyone wearing uniform would be just suspicious of each other

The site would be confused and just panic

Perhapsthats also the aim of theenemy

Seki-san said.

If its noweven if theenemyenters, the command system of those in uniform is perfect. Though they have infiltratedthey shouldnt have penetrated the group leader class. The numbers of those are only few

If the information is only that the enemy has blended inthe function of the uniform group will be paralyzed.

Actually, even though only a few of them can enter the bottom levelif they overreact, the entire organization will be damaged.

Well report to Chief Tanizawa through a private line. Lets ask chief to identify the sneaky agent

Youre rightdirector Yamaoka will only confuse the site

Seki-san contacts chief Tanizawa via mobile

Meanwhile, I load the luggage to the car

Misuzu and Ruriko-san enters the car.

Then.

Fujimiya-san goes on the passenger seat.

Michi and I take the second row of the limousine.

The back seat, Misuzu, Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san.

The limousine seats have the second row facing backwards, so were facing with the people on the rear seats.

Yet, Michi an I are sitting to match with Ruriko-sans knee

Seki-san who finished the call opens the door and goes to the driver seat

Thenwhy are you in the passenger seat?

She asks Fujimiya-san

This car is Seki-sans private car after all!

I think that its a rule in Kouzuki security service that the subordinate drives at such case

ErrSeki-san and Fujimiya-san are both top elites under chief Tanizawa of Kouzuki security service.

Seki-san is selected asKakkaspersonal guard though

Whos top and whos bottom?1

ThereforeI leave the driving to Seki-san

Fujimiya-san said calmly.

Youre younger than me right?

HoweverI entered Kouzuki security service ahead of you. I was 16 years old when I was scouted by chief Tanizawa directly

You seeafter I graduated from college, I studied in Europe! I joined in the company with advanced professional educationit has nothing to do with my age at joining!

Seki-san and Fujimiya-san arent bulging.

Seki-san, if you want it by all means I dont mind driving but my driving is rough you know? I might end up scratching Seki-sans treasured car. Are you still okay with that?

Seki-san

Geez! I get it already! I just have to drive, right?!

She gets in the driver seat angrily.

1. Thats lewd!
