ThenShirasaka Hiromitsu will be coming to negotiate?

Kouzuki Souji asks Jii-chan.

The situation isnt that simplewith the blunder in the press conference broadcast of the head of Shirasaka house, Shirasaka Moritsugu, the local affiliates have a sense of crisis. Who will trust a news broadcasting organization that has its head protecting a relative thats a criminal? The key stations in Tokyo and the headquarters for the newspaper company are of course flooded with calls and emails from the protesters

I see, the local people protests on local branch officeslocal TV and radio stations

Furthermore, Shirasaka houses newspaper company and television stations has a lot of affiliated companies, foundations, and research institutes. With that said, the ripples of the scandal has began to spread even to those not directly related to the press

Shirasaka Sousuke, is a member of Shirasaka house but

The person himself is an employee of an advertising agency, not a person on Shirasaka houses enterprise.

If the business is blown with protest calls in response to the scandal caused by some guy, or if their company were boycottedthen the affiliate company wont endure it.

Now that it had come to thisif it was a normal company then Shirasaka Moritsugu would just retire. After all, he defended the criminal himself and had gone to a press interview to hide the fact of the crime. HoweverShirasaka house, is managed by only a single man, Shirasaka Moritsugu for 25 years. Shirasaka Moritsugu will never accept retiring for such a trivial thing

Howeverif Shirasaka Moritsugu wont resign, the protests against Shirasaka houses affiliates wont end, would they?

Kouzuki Kenshi asks.

ThereforeShirasaka Miromitsu from Osaka whos independent from the Tokyo office, centered on the local television stations and newspaper was nominated. Hiromitsu may be an affiliate but is also a member of Shirasaka houseI know who to join hands in the main house in order to drag down Shirasaka Moritsugu

A screen comes down on the wall of the room.

This room is originally made as a wedding hall.

This screen is intended to reflect images at the wedding reception.

On the white screenfirst, a person is projected.

First, this is Shirasaka Hiromitsu

Yeahits a bald glassed old man past his 60s.

His mouth is smiling.

Somehow, he has that schemer atmosphere.

Then the image changednow its an old lady past 60s.

Somehow, her mouth is big.

Next, Shirasaka Ayako. Shes Tokyos Shirasaka head houseslets see, shes on the number six. Shes an executive director in Shirasaka Holdings. The head of Shirasaka international political research institute, president of Shirasaka Peace foundation, board chair on Japan and Asian children dance circlewell, shes the groups boss on those opposing against Shirasaka Moritsugu

In addition, another image

Its a fat man over his 40s with perm.

Shirasaka Fukushi, Ayakos son. Hes currently the head of cultural department on the newspaper head officethough he hasnt done anything noticeable, Mrs. Ayako brought him here. Well, as someone who knows the internal affairs in the newspaper company, its a good selection

Thena small old man.

Lastly, Yamada Hisashi. Hes one of the vice presidents on the newspaper company. Though hes someone who stands by Shirasaka Moritsugus side, he was persuaded with Shirasaka Hiromitsu and decided to participate in the downfall plan. Hes supposed to suppress the middle class who begin to abandon Shirasaka Moritsugu

I seetheres a coup prepared inside the Shirasaka house.

Tonight, these four people will be talking with us in the table of negotiations. They seek support for their plan from us

Jii-chan explained to his students

Actually, its a bit different.

Theyre actually coming to make a deal with Minaho-neesan.

As long as Minaho-neesan keeps leaking out information about Shirasaka Sousukes wrongdoings

The flames of this scandal will never end.

On the contrary, Minaho-neesan still holds a lot offire

They are afraid of that spill.

Though the head, Shirasaka Moritsugus policy is toresist to the bitter endif they do that, there would be an enormous damage given to the entire group of company.

The local and affiliated companies are hoping for an immediateextinguishment

Thereforethey mustmake an agreementwith Minaho-neesan.

Jii-chan not telling his student means that

He doesnt want to tell them about the underground organizationKuromoriand Kuromori Minaho.

What advantages would it give to Kouzuki house if we give them support?

Shiba Akira asks

Rather than being a merit to Kouzuki familyit is a matter of national interest

Jii-chan answers.

After the scandal created by Shirasaka Sousuke is revealedShirasaka houses related company shares have been dropping across the board. Theres information of foreign investors targeting the stocks that have become cheaper

Howeverif foreigners buy shares of Japanese mediaI think that theyll receive a strong opposition

Kata said.

They can just ask a Japanese representative with an investment fund. Theyre fine as long as they can control even indirectly. However, its not good for foreigners to hold control of Japans media outlets. They can just give arbitrary reports thats convenient to them

I seeif the one moving from behind the scenes are American investors, theyre just vultures for gold swarming togetherin case of people in other countries, theyll use it for political purposes.

Kouzuki Kenshi explained.

For the time beingin return for our aid, Shirasaka house will give out shares they have. We wont be able to take all away but well suppress around 30% of them. If so, we can send an executive officer. If Shirasaka Moritsugu loses power, the next top of the television and newspaper station wont be Shirasaka family anymore. If Shirasaka house just does a baton pass on another Shirasakathe public wont be satisfied. With the new representative we will sendwell be wiping out the Shirasaka houses influence from within

In shortShirasaka household can no longer touch the management?

Kouzuki Souji speaks in surprise.

Yeswell have them accept the position as one of the major shareholders on the newspaper and television company. Of courseeven if someone from Shirasaka family is a competent man gains a position, hell never take the top. In the first place, a situation of a single house taking a huge news enterprise group is abnormal. We will correct that with this opportunity

Jii-chan said.

While at itwe will also arrange the affiliate companies. Well let all companies that can be independent do itwell make newspaper and television only do business as a news organization. I wont let them do any other foolish business

Jii-chan intends to completely disassemble the Shirasaka houses group of company.

Well, trueits strange that a newspaper and television station operate under record and entertainment companies.

Its past eight in the evening. Were a bit late in the schedule butShiraska Hiromitsu should be arriving soon

Miss Cordelia whos together with the white Violas promised not to attack until 8PM when they came to the theater.

Its already past that time.

Did they keep their word?

No, the enemy mightve already infiltrated close to us

They might even waiting the signal for combat.

Actually, I cant see anything.

Well, the colleagues I have called in were also delayed in arrival

Right

Jii-chan called the parents of the students for negotiation.

And someone among them

Is doubted as a traitor.

To think that the enemy was able to enter Kouzuki security service

Then its assumed that theres someone from the same organization thats an enemy other than Cesario Viola.

Please take your meal for a while nowI will make contact again later

Then, Jii-chans voice ends.

The image of the screen switches on the first floor of the hotel.

AhSomeone came in the hotel by car.

Ah, thats our dad

Tsunoda said.

A man wearing an expensive looking suit comes out of the black car.

Thus, the people on the negotiation table will be gathering at the table one by one.

Now then.

Girls, are you not hungry?

I call out to my women.

Eh, whats wrong, Yo-chan?

Nei-san asks me in surprise.

Lets eat properly while we have time

The students invaded in while we were in the middle of a meal earlier

Besidesit would be a waste to leave food

Theres still quite a lot of meals left.

Danna-sama, youre right

Misuzu smiles at me.

Lets try to eat a bit more while we have time!

Unwe dont know when our next meal will be if Violas attack happens.

Its possible that we might be isolated in the hotel.

RightIm eating!

Mana said.

You all as well, eat as much as you want!

Misuzu orders the students

Now then, the room has become strange.

Misuzus orders are workingso the students arent coming close to us.

Instead

Theprince factionand therising factionare interacting

I wanted to talk to you once

Shiba Akira talks to Kata Takashi, the planner of theprince faction

On the other side, Kouzuki Kenshi and Torada Chitoku fromrising factionare talking to Oohari Ryou and Koku Rakujin, members of theprince factionthat arent member of Kouzuki house.

Hanaoka Shinsuke, Koumori Akira also join the circle.

Kouzuki Souji, the leader ofprince factionwho had the densest blood broke downit seems that the power balance of theprivate factionstarts changing right away.

Theprince factionwas bound by the relationship of their family and parents generation

Therising factionwere indebt children of those who have entered later.

Thats another inferiority complex.

That complex was removed at once and the air has gotten better.

Howeverthere seems to be a person who have decided to be isolated on the contrary.

Kwafuji Akishi and Takagi Fuuta are looking at the whole state from far away.

Then, Kouzuki Souji, Subaru and Satoshi gathered together and eat quietly.

Theres also a small change in us.

Yoshiko-san whos been gloomy until a while ago is now eating with Ruriko with a bright face.

It seems that she feels a bit relieved now that Rurikos fiance problem have been cleared up.

Misuzu and Nagisa are taking charge of the place.

Reikas playing with Mao-chan as usual

Megu and Mana are eating with the two of them stuck together.

Ive got to break this combo somehow.

I feel like Megu and Manas combination isnt very good.

Yukino, shes limping alone.

However, because Kouzuki Satoshi who knows her true identity is hereshe cant leave our side

Hey, are you eating properly?

I ask Yukino

Just leave me alone

I took a sandwich and a drink

Anywayeat. You dont know when you need the strength to go

Its finewho cares if I die anyway

Yukino said showing a gloomy face.

If Moritsugu-ojisama loses powernobody will come to help us anymore

Yukino saidUs

Papas abandonedMama can just go back to Ichikawa houseMaika, well, it seems you saved her

Yukino has her own family

That terrible father and mother that abandoned herthats still Family for Yukino

What will happen to me?

I

For the time beingyoull stay with us for a year

A year?

Yukino shows a suspicious face

Youll give birth to a child after all

SurprisedYukino touches her own stomach

I wonder if Im already pregnant

Even if we dont do it now, Ill definitely make you pregnantthats Minaho-neesans will

Minaho-neesan is trying to make Yukino give birth to a substitute to her dead sister.

If a baby isnt bornMinaho-neesans revenge wont be complete.

Minaho-neesan was made to never make a child again anymore by Shirasaka Sousuke

Youre right, I dont think youre gonna give up

Yukino mutters, expressing her disgust.

Then just rape me as you wishyou coward

Mana then approaches Yukino.

Onii-chanwant me to give birth instead?

Hey, Mana

Its not just Yukino-sanIm also a subject of Kuromori-sans revenge right? Im fine with it. Either way, someday Ill give birth to Onii-chans childits fine to get pregnant even now. Mana cant go back to her school anyway!

Mana wont be able to go back to the prestigious all girl middle school.

Mana will take a year break and give birth. Then, you can just throw Yukino-san away right!

E-Even I am fine with it

Megu comes close.

I also am Shirasaka Sousukes daughter

Its fine Megu-oneechanMana will do it. Megu-oneechan still has her schoolI want you to do your best in your club activities too!

Manas the one who shouldntits not good for a 14 year old girl to give birth. Besides, youre aiming to become a super model, right? Your body line would change if you get pregnant. You know that dont you?

Megu tells Mana.

Buta dream is a dream. Id rather have a bond with Onii-chan than reach my dream

Bond?

If I make a babythen Ill be able to feel that should never leave Onii-chans side

I seeManas

Uneasy

BesidesIm scared of Yukino-san giving birth to Onii-chans child

Eh, about what?

LikeYukino-san might take away Onii-chan from us

Mana?

Yoshi-kunIm the same. Im scared of Yukino

Megu

These two

Yukinos younger sister and half sister

Theyve always lived having inferiority complex towards Yukino.

The wound still remains in their heart

I hate this guy so much!

Yukino tells her sisters.

But, this man seems to like me by all means!

Yukino whispers, showing a nasty smile.

We knowthats why were scared

Megu said.

Ooh, now that I see your depressed faceit made me hungry

Yukino eats the sandwich I brought

Rightif its going to make you suffer then I think Ill bear this mans child!

Yukino also holds inferiority complex towards Megu.

That ill feeling makes Yukino go reckless.

Ill do anything if its to see your crying face

I

Yukinoyou dont understand anything

What?

Yukino glares at me.

Have you ever thought of wanting to have sex with me?

Theres no way I would. I hate people like you! Youve been forcibly raping me all the time!

Yukino who has high pride answers as such.

Right. Youre always forcibly raped. Even now, youre forced to look funnyforcibly dragged around. It has nothing to do against your will!

Thats right! Im the victim here!

Yukino barks at me with angry eyesl.

Thats how it is. Even getting pregnant, giving birth to a childits all forced. Your will is ignored!

I said

If theres someone who should cry, its you. Your life has been made a mess by me !

Tears accumulate in Yukinos eyes.

W-What, whats with you, whats with you! UnforgivableIll never forgive you!

Again, tears drop from Yukinos cheeks.

Yeah, you dont have toI dont think you will

I look at Megu and Mana.

You girls toowhatever happens, dont ever get jealous of Yukino!

Yoshi-kun?

Onii-chan?

Ill make Megu and Mana happy. Therefore, you should be

But

Yukino will never become happyyou two are different

Theres no way for us to understand each other.

Were incompatible.

Believe me, be proudokay?

But

Megus still gloomy

You two dont believe Master? Then please excuse yourself from being Masterswoman

Michi comes in.

Michi-sandoes that mean?

Misuzu-sama and Ibelieve that Master will make us happywe also swear to make Master happy

Michi reports

If you always just want to be pampered by Master and doesnt intend to support himthen you two should be eliminated!

Hey, waitMichi

It would be troublesome if you attack Megu or Mana with your Kudou style ancient martial arts!

Hai hai hai hai! Thats enough!

Nei-san appears smiling.

Megu-chan and Mana-chan tooits about time youve got to reassess. You two have been overly relying on Yo-chan since last night!

Over relying? We?

Megu looks down.

Its fine to be spoiled! Werefamily! But, are you okay with just being the one being pampered?

I dont think it is

Mana answers

What should we do?

Megu mutters.

Before I noticedMisuzu-san has overtaken me Misuzu-san is becoming even more attractive as Yoshi-kuns partner and yetIm becoming a burden. II!

Megu.
