Chapter 267: Fool ship

What did you say?

Theprince factionguys fell silent from what Nei-san said

Dont you think that old man that cant help but cherish and love his two granddaughters leave you in the same room as them and dont do anything?

Nei-san smiles

Isnt this that old mans hotel? He seems to be using it on his conferencesnaturally, this should also be equipped with wiretap and surveillance cameras!

Yesthats right

Reika answers

This hotel is the business base of Kouzuki group!

Youre right, as far as I can seethat ceiling and that wall over there, and under the decoration of that pillar over there is also a surveillance camera

Margo-san participates.

The mics are there, there, and there? Yeah, usually, youd put it like that. However, in such a facility, everything that you can obviously point out is a fake and the cameras and microphones are set up in a separate location though!

Oh. Theprince factionsface are going pale

Well of course.

Even though Jii-chan told them to not make any blunders towards the women

Their disrespect has become a lump of blunders.

In the endyou cant see reality at all

Nei-san ridicules the men.

Listen! That old man, the fiance Kouzuki Shietaka has decided have been rejected and yetMii-chan and this guys relationship were accepted! Do you get it?!

ErrNei-san?

What do you mean by that?!

Thats rightGrandfather has approved of this man to be my husband

Misuzu declares once again.

Thats right! You calling Mii-chanMisuzu-samameans that in Kouzuki houses rules, your grandfathers blood is close yet lower than Mii-chan?

With their rulesthats how it is

This guy was accepted as Mii-chans partner. It was Kouzuki Shietaka-sans decision. Thenyou know what that means dont you!?

Nei-san said sadistically.

You all are in a lower position that this guy! If hes Mii-chans husband then, hes Ojii-chans grandson-in-law! Hes on a position above yours already!

Nothats not true.

Misuzus mywomanbut

Im not interested in Kouzuki house at all

But

For theprince factionwho sticks to the rule of their bloodline

Nei-sans remark seems to be grave

Everyone, emergency meeting!

SuddenlyKouzuki Souji tells his faction

Y-YesSouji-sama

Umulets go!

The nine members ofPrince factiongather around Kouzuki Souji.

Looking at each other, they seem to be consulting each other whisperingly

Reallyeven though they seem bossy

These guys are just small.

Akira-san. Please dont stay there and come in. Everyone else must be hungry too. Why dont you eat?

Misuzu ignores theprincefaction and speaks to Shiba Akira and therising factionguys

Theyve always been pressured byprince factionfrozen in the front of the entrance.

Yesthank you very much. I will depend on your words

Shiba Akira thanks Misuzu on behalf of the group.

Howeverplease stop trying to talk to my friends. You men shouldnt come from that table over there. Could you promise me that?

Certainly

Shiba Akira accepts Misuzus orders.

Come everyoneweve been given permission by Misuzu-sama. Lets eat

Yes

Umu

Lets do so

Therising factionheads to the table timidly

They only speak a few words.

Theyre not talking to each other.

Calmlythey walk slowly, trying not to take over someone

They all eat scattered around.

Nobodys trying to talk to Shiba Akira

Huh?!

Its not that Shiba Akira is the leader of the group.

As expectedwith the elder brother, Shiba Takahiro leaving, they were damaged?

Those people arent as united as a group as Souji-san and others

Misuzu whispers to me.

Souji-san and his group were children of the vassals who served Kouzuki house for generations so theyve known each other since childhood

Thereforetheir teamwork is that good.

In Kouzuki family, bloodline is everything.

Thereforewith Kouzuki Souji whos closes to the head, Jii-chan, has been decided to be the boss of the group from the beginning.

Inside the groupSouji-sans the first grandson of grandfathers brother, the second is Subaru-san. The third is Satoshi-san who belongs on the branch family. Then next ones dont belong to Kouzuki house but Natsuko-san whos a relativeis decided to be the first among the list

Since the list has been decided from the beginning with the bloodlinethe other people doesnt try to overcome Kouzuki Souji.

Howevereach and one of them play a role theyre given in the group.

Wellif theyre aware of it then its fine, but.

I cant understand them pushing their ownrulesof their narrow world to us.

They can just continue theirpretend friendsin their own closed world forever.

Thenas for Akira-sans group

Misuzu whispers.

These groups fathers have gained career in the company of Kouzuki only for a generationtheir rise is accepted in business, invited by the Kouzuki group

Oh I see.

If their parents gained power in Kouzuki group just recently

Then they never had any childhood friendship.

That group isnt as united as Souji-sans group

Yeahtheyre just gathering somehow to opposeprince faction

Shiba Takahiko and Shiba Akira arent the leaders of the faction

Ratherthe people in that group are competing with each other

In shorteveryone is targetting Rurikos fatherthe head of Kouzuki house?!

In realityOnly Shiba Okitachi has the real ability to stand up against the old vassals of Kouzuki house

The other guys dont have that much individual power.

Thats why they have no choice but to gather.

However, with that saidthey dont plan to become followers of Shiba Okitachi, who has the most power.

Hmmm

This ones also a troublesome bunch too.

Wait a momentearlier, there was the talk about Shiba Takahiko being Misuzusfiance, then the old vassals of Kouzuki family accepting Shiba house to their group right?

Instead of becoming a relative of the Kouzuki family by marrying Misuzuitll be them taking in the rising power of Shiba Okitachi

That is just a selfish interpretation of Souji-san and co

Misuzu said

I think that grandfathers aim is still to make harmony in between the old group and the rising group. Howeverit seems that Akira-san and others are soured by that talk

OhIf Shiba Takahiko was madefianceof Misuzu with the reason theprince factionhas said

Then Shiba Okitachi has betrayed the rising group and it means that hell change into the old group.

Thereforethe youth ofrising factionare eating far from Shiba Akira

Please be carefulDanna-sama

Misuzu tells me anxiously

Ehwhat about?

The next thing those people will think is to take in Danna-sama

To take me in?

Yes, their faction will dominate if they are able to take in Danna-sma to their side

No, butIve got nothing to do with Kouzuki group

Misuzu has declared a while ago that I wont be entering the Kouzuki group.

Those people wont be convinced with what I saideveryone of them thinks that Kouzuki group is everything

Reallywhat a troublesome bunch

Please brace yourselfDanna-sama is the man recognized by Kouzuki Shigetaka!

Misuzu smiles.

Ah, Maru-chan and I will bring the drinks and sandwiches in here!

Nei-san said.

When we dont let them come close to usthen wed lose another refill of food and drinks. Lets take some while its not late!

Yeahits better to bring it while theprince factionis talking

Ah, Im going too

Its better to do it all with lots of people.

Then, I will be going too!

Reika stands up.

Reika-oneechanI want another orange juice!

Mao-chan smiles.

Wellso cute! Yeah, so cute!

Reika seems to have completely liked Mao-chan.

She pats Mao-chans head.

Children are amazing arent they?

Nagisa smiles at Reika.

Yes!

Reika-oneesan want to give birth soon too? Having your own child is good too

Reika speaks while holding Mao-chan.

I currently am on the time where my energy and physical strength are the best. I want to fulfill my work as a guard for now

If she gets pregnant, give birthReika cant think of her keeping her current state.

Is that so? Thats a regret

Its not. Ill be affectionate with Mao-chan a lot!

Reika pokes Mao-chans soft looking cheeks.

Mao-chan happily laughs

You need apron dress dont you?

Apron dress?

Nagisas surprised from what Reika said.

Yes, as expectedif youre raising a little girl with a British hobby, I think then you shouldnt take off apron dresses

HeyReika?!

Ill teach the language ofalice in the wonderland andsong of mother goose If she grows bigger thenSherlock Holmes MufufuIm looking forward to it!

Reika seems to want to make Mao-chan into the same British hobby as herself

Err

Well fine.

Nagisa seems to be only smiling wryly

If it becomes a problem, Minaho-neesan and Katsuko-nee will stop it so its fine.

Then, lets go!

Margo-san calls us out

Then

WaitOnii-chan

Mana comes to me.

Whats wrong? Is there anything you want to get?

Drinks or food

Yeah! My panties!

Panty?

You seeMana left her panties on that chair!

Manayou

I even told you to wear a dress in a hurry after your prostrating naked

You didnt put on your underwear.

There?

Yup

Wowby the way, its just on the right side where theprince factionis making a conference.

Those guys are in the middle of a discussion so they havent noticed the panty on the chair.

Sorry! You can punish me later so please pick it up for now!

Mana holds my hand.

Seriously.

But, I cant let those men come close to Mana.

Shes having no panties right now after all

I get itIm going

Thanks Onii-chan!

Mana whispers to my ear

Ill be serving you a lot later so please feel a lot good in Manas stomach!

The 14 year old beauty smiles at me.

Haa

AnywayIm going

Along with Margo-san, Nei-san and Reika

I invade the mens zone.

Okaylets get close to Manas panty casually

Pretending that its not the panty

But looking at the dish on the table

OkayGET!

I shove the panty I picked up into my pocket.

Then

Hey, bastard1

I got shocked

The voice who called me out isprince factionsNatsuki Makoto

Souji-sama wants to talk with you. Come here!

Err

For the time being, its not exposed that I took Manas panty.

Hey, hurry up!

Speaking in a commanding tone makes me a bit angry.

In the first placeMy position isnt that far from Kouzuki Souji

Wont our voices reach if we speak loudly?

I dont intend to go thereif youve got something to talk about then how about coming here!

I strongly rejected it

What?Youre cocky!

Kouzuki Satoshi insults me.

Well fine. Ill allow it just this case!

Souji-sama?!

We cant have a constructive conversation with a coercive attituderight, Satoshi?

Yes, Souji-sama

Hey, bastardbe thankful for Souji-samas generous heart!

Yeah, as expected of Souji-sama!1

That kind of development again?

Theyre trying to make a show where Kouzuki Souji is a huge vessel, but

Theyve done it multiple times that their childishness is emphasized.

Anyway, theyre just idiots.

Each of them are smart elites but

From the moment they think that theyre the chosen onesthey became a group of idiots.

Thenwhat do you want to talk about?

I asked.

I make sure the paths to exit while talking.

Itll be hard to escape when Im surrounded.

I dont think that theyd attack me so suddenly but

Nodont neglect caution.

If I diethen Misuzu will be free again.

Itll create a situation as Kouzuki Souji desires

For better or for worse, they might try to kill me.

If I dont make such assumptions

I wont be able to survive.

Oh I wish I had my beat up stick.

If it is Cesario Viola then its dangerous to be armedso I left the beat up stick on the school

Thenlet me get straight to the point

Kouzuki Souji tells me.

Join us

What?

As special appreciation, Souji-sama is saying that you bastard can join our faction!

Natsuko Makoto says loudly

In exchange, you promise your loyalty to Souji-sama. Our leader is Souji-samaokay?!

Err

Whats with this triumphant face, these people look down on me

Are all your brains rotten?

To become our ally is to become the central being that moves the next generation of Kouzukiits not a bad deal for a bastard like you

Natsuko Makoto tells me with most dignity

Misuzu-sama said that you dont intend to enter the Kouzuki group butyouve got ambitions too right? No, theres no need to answer. I know

Kata says with a ridiculous attitude.

UhmIm going to start a bakery though

Bread? Aiming for the Kouzuki General Foods Generation?!

Oohari shouts.

No, youre wrong, Its just a normal bakery. One thats selling bread in the town

No waya Franchise business?

Kata. How many restaurant and bread chains inside Kouzuki group?

18 companies and 26 brands!

Hey guys

Listen to me.

Souji-sama, isnt that great? Since we all desire for finance and mass communication companies in Kouzuki group. If this guy says he wants to engage in food, then theres no problem letting him do it

Tsunoda says something frivolous again.

Right. We intend to push the industries were not interested in to Shiba Takahiko and othersso its fine? Well let you take in the food industry so you can come under me

Kouzuki Souji said calmly

Ahthese guys are no good

If these guys succeed the parents and become the executives of Kouzuki group

Kouzuki group will be crushed.

Sorry to tell you but I dont want to be your allies you know?

I said clearly

Why? Why are you refusing even on such favorable conditions

Thats right, the goddess of fortune dont give second chances you know. Take it right now if you can!

You seeSouji-samas giving you an opportunity so its foolish not to get on it!

Yeah

Thats rightIm foolish. Sorry

Ill try to get away from this spot right away.

Margo-san, Nei-san, and Reika seems to have carried the food and drinks needed.

Like hell I can stay with this flock of idiots!

Sorry

I try to go back to Misuzu.

Hey, wait a moment! Im not done talking!

Natsuki Makoto, Oohari Ryou, Koku Rakujin tries to catch me.

Shit, theyre moving fast.

Id be surrounded if this continues!

Master!

Michi jumps in to help me!

Dont approach them

Kouzuki Souji orders

That ones Kudous daughter!

Kudou? The guard kept byKakka?

The daughter should be using the same strange techniques as her father!

Do you know about it, Kata!?

Yes. Shes my little sisters classmate!

HaaKatas little sister is the young lady over there?

While they were talkingMichi comes into my front in a blink of an eye.

Master, your hand!

Yeah

I hold Michis hand.

Lets go, please follow me!

Michidont let them hurt you!

Certainly

We slipped away from theprince factionas Michi and I hold hands.

W-Whats with herher movements strange!

Kudou styles secrets is to completely bend the enemys Ki.

Outwitting the enemys expectationswe returned back to Misuzu and others.

Stop! I forbid you from going further than that!

Misuzu rules the men

Any more than that and we wont hold back from using force!2

Margo-san and Reika comes to Misuzus side.

With the two tall beauties by her sideit has become threatening

Now thenwhat will you do?

Reika holds up her caneKouzuki Souji

Lets back off

He orders showing an unpleasant face.

Fuu

The situation didnt explode.

Well, it turns to a brawl

Then Margo-san, Reika and Michi would just beat those guys thoroughly.

Im glad nobody got hurt.

HuhSatoshi-san, that woman!?

Tsunoda looked at us and noticed something.

Hm, Tsunoda?!

Kouzuki Satoshi comes to Tsunoda

As expected she is! Theres no mistake!

Like I said, what!?

That womans Shirasaka Yukino!

Tsunoda noticed Yukino.

What?!

No, Im sure. She may be disguised but she cant fool my eyes! Ive seen her on Yoshinaga houses party before! Hey, Satoshi-san, werent you with me?!

He met Yukino on a party?!

Ah, thats right! Theres no mistake! Thats Shirasaka Yukino!

Kouzuki Satoshi cries out

Shirasaka Yukino?

Yes, hes the daughter of Shirasaka Sousuke whos in trouble right now!

Didnt the media say that shes missing?

Therefore shes here!

Theprince factionsays one after another

Eh, wait a momenteveryone!

Kouzuki Subaru whos the youngest took over Tsunoda and Kouzuki Satoshi and speaks

Is that person really Shirasaka Yukino-san?

The gazes of the men gather around Yukino.

Shiba Akira and others of therising factionare also looking interestingly

This is bad.

Kouzuki Subaru asks Misuzu.

Why is Shirasaka Yukino-san with Misuzu-sama?!

1. Bastards not knowing how to use Sasuga, you only use Sasuga for Onii-sama and Ainz-sama

2. Yeah, use the force!
