Chapter 266 : Laughing Women
Very well. If thats what Misuzu-sama thinks then we will not force it either
Kouzuki Souji stares at Misuzu.
HoweverId like at least an explanation of the current situation. Im a member of the branch family of Kouzuki housemy friends here are a group of talented people who are responsible for the future of the Kouzuki group. Naturallywe also have the right to know, dont you think?
As usual, Kouzuki Souji doesnt break his calm composure.
He seriously think that what hes saying is right, and that its Misuzus duty to explain to their expectations.
What do you want to know?
Misuzu answers showing investigative eyes.
During the presentation of Konpeki school, the political performance you madethe mysterious man over there come up to the stage
NoI went up the stage on my own will
However, Kouzuki Souji thinks that Misuzus the same as her, a schemer with ambition to Kouzuki house.
Thats why she thinks our love ispolitical
With Shiba Takahikos reaction afterwardsand after we moved to this hotel, with the fact that only Shiba Takahiko was called byKakka Katawhat do you think?
Kouzuki Souji does the team play.
Hes probably thinking that it would put more pressure to Misuzu doing it as a group instead of an individual.
Yesfirst, its definitely Shiba Takahiko whos secretly nominated asMisuzus fiancebyKakka
Kata bows down to his boss and answers.
ThenShiba Takahiko was very upset when he came back to our waiting room fromKakkassummon. For some reason, he looks very mentally shocked
Ohindeed, he looks like that. Hes in a state of panic and nothing else. He didnt come in contact with us at alland he shows a bare expression of hate to our group. He only muttered to his brother, Shiba Akiraand said that he feels sick so hes coming home
Kouzuki Souji ridicules Shiba Takahiko.
I seeShiba Takahiko having hisfiancestatus stripped out of him
He definitely dont want to have theprince grouphis enemy to investigate the circumstances
He ran away alone.
Wellits these elites who make that kind of laugh.
Hes definitely looked miserable! Hahaha!
Natsuko Makoto of the prince faction laughs lively.
Following, Kouzuki Satoshi, Torada Chitoku, Koku Rakujin, Tsunoda Fumikazu, Oohari Ryou also laughs.
Theyre not laughing because its funny.
Theyre just laughing to damage the members of therising factionwho are solidified in the entrance of the room, especially Shiba Akira.
Its intentionalmalicious
Akira-kunwhat did your brother tell you at that time?
Then againNatsuko asks with an attitude that its natural to report to him.
However, Natsuki has the dignity to push it through.
If Tsunoda purposely shows a frivolous and rude attitude
Natsuko approaches the others heart with a bossy atmosphere.
Thats only a family talk. Thats not something I can tell everyone
Shiba Akira answered calmly.
Dont say that Akira-kun! Arent we all the samestudents
Kouzuki Subrauthe youngest speaks brightly
If you cant tell everyonethen tell only me later in secret! Arent we both the youngest among thestudents You can consult me on anything!
UwaaKouzuki Subaru smiles like a male idol
Strongnextsoftthey take each step after the other attentively.
Subarudont push it. Akira-kun has his own circumstances as well. Being able to guess from that is what true friendship means
YesSouji-niisama Akira-kun, sorry, I didnt think of your feelings. Ive said something unneeded. But, Im really worried about you. Id like you to understand at least that!
Aahso annoying.
Whats with that annoying smile!
Now thenon the other hand, we must infer the current situation from what we know. Kata, state your inference
Ha, Souji-sama. Ill present my findings. This is only my selfish inference but it may be different from the actual situation
Kata is making an excuse that this is only his own inference.
In shortwhat hes going to say wont be the official view ofPrince faction
Its only an individual reasoning it cant be helped if its somewhat disrespectful.
The secretly nominatedMisuzu-samas fianceis Mr. Shiba TakahikoKakkastwo granddaughters, Ruriko-sama and Misuzu-samas fiancewill be two among our group, thinking that well become harmonious in the future
Kata-san, could you make it easier to understand for me?
Prince factionsTorada said loudly.
Sure, in shortperhaps, Ruriko-samas fiancewill be among us, the sons of the vassals who supported the framework of Kouzuki house for mnay years. Ruriko-sama is the legitimate successor of Kouzuki house. I think that he wont be able to accept a new factions son as his grandson-in-law
I see, in exchangethe next in line, Misuzu-sama is thought to be matched with Shiba Takahiko
Natsuko adds in Katas explanation.
Yes. Shiba Takahiko is the eldest among the members among usIf you make Mr. Shiba Okitachi the top of the Kouzuki groupsrising factionas a vent, then itll be a very effective plan
Kata expresses Misuzu and Takahikos engagement asventing
OhMaking the old men satisfied by marrying Misuzu-sama with therising faction No, those people have to be satisfied with that alone!
Natsuki said.
Umutheres no need to concede to therising factionany further
Koku Rakujin nods seriously.
No lets change the tracks a bit. If he marries with Misuzu-sama, then Shiba house will become relative to Kouzuki house too. Then that meansShiba house will be transferring fromrising factionto theaged vassalsgoup
Kata speaks his opinion.
I see, Kakka thought of accepting Shiba house as a vassal afterwards!
WellMr. Shiba Okitachi has merits to be recognized
Rather than thatif Shiba Okitachi comes away, therising powerwithin Kouzuki group will collapse. Isnt thatKakkasaim instead?
Kouzuki Satoshi, Oohari, Natsuki speaks selfishly in order.
In the endit seems that they believe that theirTraditional vassal in Kouzuki groupis superior and therising factionis inferior
Or rather
You guys are sons of branch family executives!
Even though theyre not working in the Kouzuki group themselveshow dare they speak bossy like that.
However, with that mans appearance, it seems thatKakkasplan have changed!
Kata points at me.
Katawhat do you mean by that?
Kouzuki Souji smiles.
YesMisuzu-sama has introduced that man to the audience at the theater today. As its a presentation of Konpeki school familythe people in the audience seats were people of political and business world. Making such a performance in that gathering, means, its made known that this man is Misuzu-samas partner
HoweverKakkashouldve named Shiba Takahiko as thefiance His attitude afterwards have shown it
Yes, Souji-samawhat Misuzu-sama did is an obvious act of going againstKakkaswill A person not belonging to the Kouzuki familya first class act of rebellion!
Kata criticizes Misuzu.
ButKakkas been smiling in here a while ago
Kouzuki Souji mutters.
His conversation with Misuzu-sama is as usualnothing has changed. On the contrary, he also allowed this man on the same room
Theprince factionseyes gather at me
Looking at Shiba Takahikos stateits certain that he has taken down Misuzus fiance. Then that means thatKakkahas accepted this man and Misuzu-samas relationship!
Kouzuki Souji makes his inference.
Heywho are you?
I
UmuIve never seen him before!
Hey, you, which family did you come from?
Isnt he the son from therising faction? If only us dont know him
Umuthats my only guess
No, its possible that he might be someone from another corporate group
Truethen, I can understand whyKakkakicked Shiba Takahiko for this guy to replace
Seriouslyspeaking all those selfish things.
Do you guys think that the world is centered aroundKouzuki group?
Eh?!
Hey, hurry up and answer! Kouzuki Souji-san is asking you!
Tsunoda orders me bossily!
Dammit!
Its Kuromori!
Nei-san answers instead of me.
Were all from Kuromori house!
Nei-san smiles
Thats right, were from Kuromoriright, Mao?
Nagisa follows up.
Yes, Mama!
Mao-chan smiles.
Yeahright. Im a guard thats serving Kuromori house!
Margo-san answers with a smile.
Ah, were from Kuromori house too!
Mana said.
Hey, Megu-oneechan too!
M-Me tooIm from Kuromori
Michi remains silent
Surely, someone among these guys knows Kudou papa.
of course, Reika whos from Kouzuki security service is also silent.
Yukinoshes hiding behind Reika.
Misuzu opposes theprince factionhead on
Ruriko is holding Yoshiko-sans hand, taking a seatstaring at the whole room.
Kuromori?
Have you heard about it?
No?
What about Kata?
Im very sorry!
The prince faction people look at each other.
The eldest among them is still in their early twenties.
They probably havent heard about the high class prostitution mansionKuromorifrom their parents
NowithKuromorion a horrible state because of Shirasaka Sousuke
The gathering of political and business heads in Former Japan, the glory days ofKuromori towerThey wont know it from anyone but their grandfathers
I know about it
Shiba Akira speaks up from the entrance.
Ohyou do, Akira-kun?
Kouzuki Souji look at Shiba Akira.
His words were composed but theres a self-important wind in his voice.
YesIve heard it from my father
Shiba Okitachiknows aboutKuromoriand told his son about it?
If sothen that would be a countermeasure against Jii-chan.
Jii-chan sent Kyouko-san and returned Morimoto-san to support Minaho-neesanbacking upKuromorisomehow
However, at the same timeJii-chan is also involved in the management of a high class prostitution mansion
Isnt that a card of Shiba Okitachi to kick off Jii-chan?
Such suspicion whirls inside me.
Oh, Akira-kun knows?! If you dont mind then do tell us!
Kouzuki Subaru talks to Shiba Akira with that flimsy smile again.
From what Ive heardits a house that knows all of the secrets of political and business world since postwar Japan
ThePrince factionholds their breath from what Shiba Akira said
What the hell?
Theres no way a manga-like house exists you know?
Umuyour father might be just joking
Kouzuki Satoshi, Tsunoda and Oohari speaks their impression
Well of course they exist!
Nei-san laughs
Neiyou mustnt laugh at naive children!
Arent you laughing too, Margo-san
Ah, sorry! But you see, these guys are just too funny!
Nei-san laughs out loud
Youre righttheyre so stupid it makes me laugh
Nagisa laughs too.
Eh, whats wrongMama?
Mao-chan asks Nagisa.
Take a look at them Maothose men have been speaking a lot of stupid things showing a serious face since a while ago, right?
Yeahthey look so bossy!
Right? Lets laugh. Thats why, lets laugh!
Nyahahahaha! Yeah, theyre funny!
Mao-chan laughs.
Reallythey dont have anything with their own power, what a really funny bunch
Ruriko also seems to really cant forgive their rudeness to them.
Yoshiko, lets laugh too!
Ruriko-sama?!
These idiots here are our relativeswe must at least laugh or wont it be pitiful for them?Fufufu
Ruriko laughs at theprince faction
R-Ruriko-sama?
Kouzuki Soujis surprised.
No, its not just theprince factionbut also therising groupare all surprised.
Shiba Akira as well
You dont know that youre just dolls obedient to grandfather? But, were humans. For people we can only evaluate by ridiculing, we can only laugh from the bottom of our hearts!
Misuzu laughs.
Ahahahahaa! yeah! This is certainly funny! Its so funny!
Reika laughs too.
Nufufufu, gufufufu
Michi, if youre not good at laughing then you dont need to force yourself
Megu-oneechan, lets laugh too
But, I cant just laugh out suddenly
Thats just easy! Just goWahahahaloudly! One two! Wahahahahahaha!
Wa, wahahahaha!
Well let you Kuroko-chan join us only for now, so heyLaugh!
Uwahahaha!
Urged by Mana, even Yukino starts laughing.
Somehowmywomenfeels very chaotic
Is this okay?
Ruriko-san
Misuzu smiles at Ruriko
YesMisuzu-oneesama?
Ruriko smiles back
As the rightful successor of Kouzuki house, you should tell your vassals
Ruriko stands up.
I will decide who is my partner. Grandfather has given be plenty of advice but I will be the one to decide
Ruriko
I wont become a tool for your own selfish conflicts. If you want to get me then abandon that miserable group and make efforts to polish yourselves!
Theprince faction is clearly underestimating Ruriko.
Everyones surprised from her strong words.
Misuzu-oneesama should be clear with these people as well
Ruriko passes the baton to Misuzu.
We are grandfatherKouzuki Shietakas granddaughters. Were born, and raised differently from weak humans like you!
Misuzu closes up to Ruriko.
Putting her hand on Yoshiko-sans shoulder
Shes sending a message to Yoshiko-san thatyoure also Kouzuki Shigetakas granddaughterin a way they wont notice.
We were born with the Kouzuki house on our shoulders
Misuzus eyes are shining powerfully.
If youre shouldering the house then why are you pulling such a strange man?
Kouzuki Souji tries to provoke Misuzu, but
I will marry this man. That is already accepted by grandfather. Surely you wont challenge the decision of Kouzuki Shigetaka, the owner of Kouzuki house, would you?
Misuzu looks down on thestudents
Grandfather has accepted my relationship with him with a condition not to pull him in the Kouzuki family
Shiba Akiras surprised.
Why is that?
Misuzu
This oneKuromori-sama, even if he marries me, he wont enter any related group in Kouzuki house. Hes completely separate from the Kouzuki group
Then that means that Misuzu-sama will be leaving Kouzuki house?
Shiba Akira asksMisuzu laughs
Kuromori-sama and I are different personalitiesI will stay as a member of Kouzuki family. Why do you think I can leave Kouzuki house this late?
Ruriko adds on Misuzus words.
YesMisuzu-oneesama will assist me in Kouzuki house along with Yoshiko!
Yoshiko-san looks up.
Ruriko-sama?
Lets be together foreverYoshiko
Yoshiko-san
YesYes
She nods to Ruriko with tears on her eyes.
In shortthe man over there wont take any position in Kouzuki houseand Misuzu-sama and Ruriko-sama will be involved in the managemen tof Kouzuki group by themselves?
Shiba Akira says, Misuzu
Thats what weve just said. Akira-sanI thought that you were a bit more understanding but
NoIm very sorry!
Misuzu smiles fearlessly
We dont like trivial men like you messing up our treasured Kouzuki group. If you all cant meet our expectations then well do it ourselves
Youre right, Onee-samaRurikos been disillusioned by the way these people behave
The two most beautiful girls on Kouzuki house insults the elites.
Just because your fathers are executives, youve been mistaken to think that youll be able to enter the Kouzuki group like that
HoweverMisuzu-sama, we have served Kouzuki house for generations!
Tsunoda shouts.
Why do we have to hire you just because your ancestors were loyal?
Misuuz cuts it down.
Frankly speakingI cant endure your attitude since a while ago. Weve clearly understood that youre not loyal to Kouzuki family whoever your fathers may be
Ruriko said
Nowe
Kouzuki Souji speaks but
You people only think of Kouzuki group as your playground. Im sorry but I dont want to accept you players
Misuzu saidKouzuki Satoshi
Dont fuck with me! Just what can you women do!?
Thats right, making a fool out of us! Dont underestimate us just because youreKakkasgranddaughters!
Tsunoda also screams.
Thats rightthe current head isKakka AndKakkaacknowledges our talent!
Kata desperately shouts
Thats right! Youre unrelated at all! Its all forKakkato decide!
Kouzuki Satoshis excitement wont go away.
Souji-samanow that it comes to this, then lets make it clear wholl become Ruriko-sans husband!
Tsunoda fuels further.
Thats right, I cant think of anyone be married to Ruriko-sama and become the next head of Kouzuki family but Souji-sama
Oohari said.
Yeah, I second that
Me too!
Koku and Torada too
Seriouslythis pattern again?
Shouting their opinion on the same directionforcibly developing it to a majority vote.
I definitely dont want Souji-san!
Ruriko said
I hate narrow minded people like you!
Rurikos words pierces Kouzuki Soujis heart but!
Souji-samaRuriko-samas opinion doesnt matter!
Thats right, thats rightKakkajust needs to accept Souji-sama!
Yeah, either way, Kakkawill order for Souji-sama and Ruriko-sama to marry. Thats absolute!
Im looking forward for that time to come!
How dare they to say that hopeful prediction.
Wowcould it be that you guys are idiots?
Nei-san said amazed.
What the hell? What do you mean?!
Tsunoda glares at Nei-san
You guys dont think that Kouzuki old man is monitoring this room?
