Chapter 268 : Vassals manners

The gaze of the room is concentrated on Yukino whos wearing a yellow and black stripped dress and a funny make-up.

I-I

Yukino speaks

Im not Shirasaka Yukino-san nari!

Nari?

No, theres no doubt. Ive checked all of the women coming from noble families at that party! Youre disguised strangely but youre definitely Shirasaka Yukino!

Kouzuki Satoshi shouts!

Im not Nariiiii! Im Kashima Kuroko Nariiiii!

Errr

Youre sticking with that character, Yukino?

Whats with Kashima Kuroko! 1

Im wearing a yellow and black stripe dress so its Kishima Kuroko Nariiiiiii!!!!

Yukinoyoure just exposing your own disguise you know

The fuck? Thenif you were wearing red and white clothes youre Akai Shirako?!

M-Maybe

Maybe?

M-MaybeNariii!

Kouzuki Satoshi and Yukino

You guys are a good comedy duo.

Or rather, youre Shirasaka Yukino-san arent you?!

Kouzuki Subaru asks showing an amazed expression.

Thats rightyoure Shirasaka Yukino!

Kouzuki satoshi pushes on Yukino once again.

Yukino

Chaunen!

Im a woman born from Osaka, not Shirasaka Yukino-han dosu

Dosu?

Are you really not her?!

I-Indeed!

Sayou?2

Its wrong woo, its wrong gowasu. Im not Yukino-san degozaru, nin nin!

Aah

We

We might be witnessing to a birth of a new talent.

I-In the first placea stylish person like Shirasaka Yukino-san dont dress funnily like me. Yukino-sans so stylish, fashionable, makes fuss about dresses more than anyone else

Yukinos eyes are becoming teary.

Thismaking me look like a comedianbeing taken around in this appearancesuch humiliation! Ill never agree to this! Ill never forgive you all! Never!!!

Glaring at usYukinos heating up.

Does that mean that youre admitting that youre Shirasaka Yukino?

Mana asks.

Hoe?!

Well, arent you? Saying that youre humiliated being made to look like a comedianthen, who are you?

Mana shows a sadistic smile.

Really, shes harsh against her sister.

I think that its distorted affection though

I-I!

Yukinos mouth flap widely, confused.

The identity of Yukino is shaking loose.

Im Kishima Kuroko Nariii!

Youve already done that!

Mana wont allow Yukino to go back from the start.

I-I!

Tears accumulate in Yukinos eyes

Ithis isnt me! I dont want this! This iswrong! This isnt me!

Thereforeif youre saying its not you then who are you?

Mana asks while snorting at her sister.

You should quit before you anger me! Maika!

Yukino snaped.

Are you happy making a fool out of me? Is it fun? Becoming friend with that group of people!

Hearing thatPrince factionsKata

No wayShirasaka Maika?

Unu?What do you mean, Kata?

Oohari Ryou asks Kata.

No, if I recall, Shirasaka Sousuke has a daughter named Shirasaka Maika other than Shirasaka Yukino!

Do you know her, Satoshi?

Kouzuki Souji asks Kouzuki Satoshi.

NoIve never met her at the party

Manas body was weak so until a few years agoshes been living with her relatives in Shizuoka away from her family in Tokyo.

Therefore, she shouldnt have shown her face as much as Yukino on noble parties.

Also, Mana has an inferiority complex towards her sister who likes to go the limelight on flashy clothing.

Even after coming back from Tokyo, Mana hardly came to party with Yukino.

Im Mana. Im Onii-chans little sisterIm completely unrelated to someone like you!

Mana

After knowing that her fathers evilabandoned by her mother and grandfather.

Above all, raped by me

The identity of the girl named Shirasaka Maika collapsed and reconstructed to another character named Yoshida Mana.

Shirasaka houses daughterYukinos little sister, Shirasaka Maika is no longer here.

Maika has gone far away.

The woman here is my little sister, my sex slave

Mana preserves her sanity by seeking me, becoming mywoman

I intend to take responsibility for Mana for the rest of my life.

This one doesnt have any one left but me.

Dont screw with me! Youre Shirasaka Maika! Youre my little sister!

Yukino doesnt know the change inside Mana.

She really became a different person.

The one here right now is Mananot Maika

Hmmm, then that means that youre admitting that youre Shirasaka Yukino?

Mana tells Yukino.

I-I

Isnt that great, Yukino-san? Youre letting the public know that youre suitable to become a comedian!

Mana laughs.

I see.

For Mana, Yukino is one of thepastwho have abandoned her.

Thereforeshes responding cruelly.

This is also another work caused by Manas inferiority complex

Unforgivable, Ill never forgive you all

Yukino mutters in a small voice.

Her anger and hatred is probably boiling like magma inside her heart.

Howeverwith Yukino unable to admit that shesShirasaka Yukinoin public

Its impossible for her to release all of her negative emotions outside.

Shell only confine it inside

Thats bad

Yukinos heart will break if this continues.

HeyYukino

I call out Yukino

She twitched.

Youre Shirasaka Yukino. Im the one who forced you to wear that strange apprarance. I just forced to you against your will!

Yukino looks at me.

Onii-chan

Mana shows aneh? face and look at me

Just shut up!

I hold off Mana.

Then, Yukino.

I just ordered everyone to make you look stupid. Its not youIm the one who forced it

Yukinos face changed.

Yukino jumped into thelogical escapeI created.

Thats right, its your fault! Its all your fault Ive having this horrible experiences!

Yukino turns her inner hatred at me.

She throw out all of her accumulated feelings at once.

Its your fault! I did nothing wrong! You made me suffer this much!

Yeahthats fine.

With this, Yukinos identity wont collapse.

Yukinocan protect her own personality as Shirasaka Yukino.

UnforgivableIll never forgive you!

Yukino looks at me with eyes of hatred.

This is fine.

This is the right thing.

Meand Yukino

Yeahyou dont have to

I said.

Either wayIm going to do more horrible things on you!

Megu looks at me silently.

Yoshi-kunyou dont have to do that. Just throw Yukino away already!

Thats right, Onii-chanyou dont need someone like Yukino-san!

I

GirlsIf I do that then Yukino will die. Are you okay with that?

Hearing thatYukino got startled

I-I

Yukino may have high pride and is selfish but shes not an idiot.

The current Yukino who lost her home and parents shieldif shes abandoned by me

Shell only die.

Will she be erased by Cesario Viola who accepted the kill request from Shirasaka head home

Or will she be sold away by Minaho-neesan on a slums on a foreign land?

Its fine if she dies

Mana

You mustnt say that

I embrace Manas body

Mana also embraces me.

Manas body is slightly coldtrembling.

Manaarent you myfamily?

Yeah

But, Yukino doesnt have anyone

Yukinos face distorts in fear.

UhmMisuzu-sama?

Kouzuki Subaru asks in behalf of theprince faction

They thought that the young ones should ask instead of the high pressure members.

Since theyre only doing that with eye contactstheir groups team work is amazing.

What is it?

Misuzu answers with a cold attitude.

Isnt it about time you tell us? Why is the daughter of Shirasaka Sousuke, the one whos causing problems in here?

Kouzuki Subaru shows a disgusting smile.

On his back the 8 members ofprince faction shows a bossy look.

Of course, Shiba Akira and the six members ofrising faction

Theyre waiting for Misuzus response curiously.

I wont tell you people

Misuzu said calmly

Why? I think that we have the right to know!

Kouzuki Subaru still doesnt back down!

Right?Are you seriously saying that?

Misuzu rejects.

Ahthis pattern is Minaho-neesans.

Misuzus imitating Minaho-neesans tone.

Becausewe are

Kouzuki Subaru falters.

We are members ofKakkasprivate tutoring. Were the people who will support Kouzuki group in the future!

Kouzuki Souji tells Misuzu on behalf of his brother.

Grandfather has only made you his students because your fathers asked him to. Its a big mistake to think that you can get a key position in Kouzuki group in the future just because youre his student

Misuzu said laughing.

Much morethe fact that youre registered in the Kouzuki group means that youre prepared to be our vassals. As a vassal, fulfill your obligation. I dont need vassals who insist their rights without respecting their lord

Misuzu said then looked at Ruriko.

It is as Misuzu-oneesama saidIm amazed from your behavior so far. Im sure that grandfather thinks the same. I will ask grandfather to dismiss theprivate schoolso grandfather can spend more of his time meaningfully

Please wait a momentRuriko-sama

At the moment Kouzuki Souji said that!

How dare vassal order ones lord!!!

Reikas sharp voice pierces theprince faction!

You bastards dont have the attitude as a vassal! Have some shame! Shame on you!

I seeReikas someone whos disciplined as a swordswoman

Shes loud when it comes to vassal and lords.

MumuReika-chan, too loud

Mao-chan on Reikas knee is closing her ears.

Ah, sorry. I wont shout anymore!

Reika smiles at Mao-chan.

Okay, forgiven!

Mao-chan and Reika are completely friendly.

UhmMisuzu-sama, may I speak?

Shiba Akira said

You can, Akira-san

Misuzu answers.

I can understand what Misuzu-samas sayinghowever, the idea of vassal and lords is quite old-fashioned in the modern Japan?

Shiba Akira said dignified.

The business managers and employees should be on equal relationship. I think that confusing employee relationship to master-servant one is bad

Misuzu

Akira-san, how long have you been under grandfathers private school?

Twice a week since two years ago with my brotherfrom 8 to 11 oclock evening. Im receiving guidance underKakkaat the head office of Kouzuki Holdings. Other than that, like todaywere brought to sociable places and we also watch actual business within the company

The sociable places must be the presentation of Konpeki school.

Thereforethese guys were taken into the negotiations with the head house of Shirasaka to observe the negotiations.

Akira-san Do you think that theprivate school is meaningful?Are you not thinking that youre just attending to an elderlys selfishness?

No, IIve been given the privilege to learn something useful every time. Each ofKakkasstory is very stimulating, and its very exciting to see various fields of work

ThenAkira-san, grandfather pays you a monthly fee?

what?

Are you not paid monthly fee?

Misuzu shows a cold smile like Minaho-neesans

Y-Yesin particular. No, ratherKakkais treating us with a feast every time

Shiba Akira becomes flustered.

But, that isKakkais always just caring for usthat

If grandfather really cares about you then do you think that its natural to receive a feast?

Misuzu laughs.

Know your position before talking about equal partners. If you cant understand what youre talking about and who youre talking to then close your mouth. Everyone can say a common opinion!

Misuzus words are harsh.

If the relationship of grandfather and your father is employee relation then grandfather will not let you in the private school. You are here because your father is grandfathers vassal. Your father understands that. If not, then a respectable person like Shiba Okitachi-san will not let you come into grandfathers private school

Yeahits not normal for it to be free.

Jii-chan is giving hisprivate schoola free service because he thinks of them as the family of his own vassals.

Grandfather is clearly distinguishing vassals from employees.

Misuzu said clearly

Besidesgrandfather only considers only your fathers as his vassals. Youre children of the vassals, in reality, youre not grandfathers vassals. Grandfather is treating and receiving you as customers!

Misuzus words stunned the members of the private school.

If ever Akira-san wants to be in an equal partner employee relationship, then quit grandfathersprivate school If Akira-san becomes an adultand is able to gain power by himself that grandfather accepts itthen Akira-san wants to work on Kouzuki group then they may employe you. But, right now, youre just a boy with no talent worth hiring for

Misuzu said, Shiba Akira

Understood, then Ill be quitting the private school as of today. I dont feel like entering Kouzuki group in the future

A stir creates in theprivate schoolfrom what he said.

Are you seriousAkira-kun?

I think you shouldnt rush up to a conclusion

Therising factionsHanaoka Shinsuke and Koumori Akira speaks.

Its fine. Theres a job Id like to do on my own. Rather than becoming a member of a big companyIll start my own business and make a company move on my will

Shiba Akira said.

Is that sothen do your best

Misuzu speaks coldly.

If the company made by Akira-san profits Kouzuki group then well contact you as anequal partner However, if it becomes disadvantageous to Kouzuki group then itll be crushed thoroughly. You dont mind if there would be a conflict between our company and yours!

Shiba Akira is at loss from Misuzus strong attitude.

Akira-kunexcuse my meddling but let me tell you

Said Kouzuki Kenshi whos on the side of therising factionthough hes under the branch family of Kouzuki house.

Apologize to Misuzu-san and stay in theprivate school I think that its wonderful that you dont want to be a vassal of someone and you desire to be the kind of the hill but, youre currently only a child ofKakkasvassal. Your rude behavior will cause trouble to your father !

Shiba Akira

Father understand my feelings. Besidesfather will become independent from Kouzuki group someday!

Someday? Shiba Okitachi-san shouldnt be able to do it right now

Kouzuki Kenshi said

Who owns the company? If its a corporation then its a shareholder. More than half of the Kouzuki group companies are held by the Kouzuki head house. In shortKakka No matter how competent your father ishe cant be independent from the Kouzuki group

Thenwell look for investors. A person unrelated to Kouzuki groupif theres someone who invest in my and fathers business

Theres nobody in Japan wholl invest in you or your father to oppose Kouzuki house,Kakkahimself

Thenwell look for foreign investors

American and European investors are vultures. You understand it dont you? Or could it be that youll look for underground resource in emerging countries? Impossible. Theres no way they would lend money to a Japanese who doesnt have a solid ground in Japan you know?

Kouzuki Kenshi said calmly.

Its good to have a big dream but in order to make your dream come true, you have to surrender to reality. Therefore even your father is such a talented manhes consenting himself to be a vassal of another

My father wont stay as a vassal forever!

That might besomeday. However, hesKakkasvassal now. A faithful one

Kouzuki Kenshi calms down Shiba Akira.

Kakkasa very large vesselMr. Shiba Okitachi has been allowed to have an ambition. Therefore, Mr. Okitachias a vassal, he gained power in Kouzuki groupKakkais aiming at independence of the group and harmony. If you opposeKakkaglaring while showing an independent stanceits not only Kouzuki group but also the rivals will attack. ThereforeA company thats independent and doesnt have strength is just crushed in a moment. For your father to succeed independentlyhe has to maintain a friendly relationship withKakkaand the Kouzuki group!

Are you saying that I should just give up being Kouzuki houses vassal?

Misuzu

I dont wish for you to be a vassal from the bottom of your heart. Its your freedom what to think from the bottom of your heart. Howevera human who cant do a correct attitude as a vassal despite being one even on surface are just incompetent. We dont need that kind of peoplewell kick you out of Kouzuki group

Shiba Akira glares at Misuzu.

Youve been speaking so bossy since earlier but Misuzu-samas notKakka! Youre justKakkasgranddaughter! You have no right to be telling us this!

Certainlythats true but

You dont understand? Ruriko-san and I are being tested by grandfather right now!

Misuzu answers.

Grandfather is listening to our discussion and laughing on the other room. Grandfather is testing if you are suitable people as vassals And Ruriko-san and I are also being tested whether or not were qualified as the head and the one wholl be on the side of the head of Kouzuki family

Ruriko nods at Misuzus words.

Thats rightKouzuki house, Kouzuki group has a lot of people. We must protect the lives of those people. From those direct vassalto those who signed an employment contractin addition, the people who buy products and services of Kouzuki group, all the business partnerswe must meet the expectations of all

ThereforeI think that we should treat our people and vassal with a strong attitude. If you spoil your vassal the whole house will fall

The two girls look down on the eliteprivate school.

Thereforeyou should all decide your own position now

Misuzu said

Youre not with grandfatheryou all are on the same generation as us. If you really plan to participate in Kouzuki groups futurethen become our vassals

Ruriko also speaks.

Thats rightthose who dont want to show manners of a vassal to us then you can leave from here now. Onee-sama and I are the successors of Kouzuki house. If you cant accept it then youll be evicted from the house!

The students stopped breathing.

Faster than anyoneKouzuki Kenshi kneels

I recognize the two as my lord

Then, he turned to his alliesthe members ofrising faction

What about you guys?

The young men look at each other.

I submit myself

Kawafuji Akishi of therising factionis the one to kneel next.

I feel glad that the future heads of Kouzuki house will be this bright and strong willed

M-Me too!

Same!

The members ofrising factionbecomes Misuzu and Rurikos vassal one after another

Shiba Akira remains

I-I wont!

Shiba Akira said

Im no ones vassal. I am the captain of my ship! Father surely understands my feelings!

Akira-kun! Show manners as a vassal even if just in formalities! Youll regret it if you dont!

Kouzuki Kenshi said, Akira

I wont regret! I hate things I hate!

Misuzu

Is that sothen, please do your best alone

Goodbye, Akira-san

Ruriko also said expressionlessly.

What about you people?

Misuzu looks at Kouzuki Soujisprince faction

W-Wethat

Kouzuki Souji becomes evasive.

Kouzuki Souji whos the closest to the head in the branch family, is a man whos giving out incomprehensible reasons arrogantly.

If he gives in to Misuzu and Rurikothen hell lose his position.

The faction calledprince factionwill lose its existential meaning

Its because theyre prince thats born from the lineage of Kouzuki family

Once they acknowledge that theyre a vassalthen the prince will be nothing.

However

If theyre expelled from Kouzuki house because Misuzu and Ruriko were angered

Then they wont have anything left

What should we do, Souji-sama!

Souji-sama!

The members whos grouping to raise Kouzuki Soujis flag asks him.

I-I

Then

Thats enough. You must not settle everything in one go, Misuzu, Ruriko

I hear Jii-chans voice from a speaker

1. This is the time where I should be changing the name because the author provided a Katakana reading of the name, it should actually be Kijima Kuro, but fuck it, its just a comedic name anyway

2. Yeah, that Sayou degozaimasu
