Chapter 280. To the panic room

Minaho, thats an exaggeration

Margo-san chides Minaho-neesan.

For people who dont know about Shirasaka Sousukes connection with usthey would only think that the scandal of Shirasaka Sousuke suddenly revealed to the media and Shirasaka house being involved is planned by Kouzuki-san

I seethere are people who dont know the existence ofKuromori

Minaho-neesan and others hate the man named Shirasaka Sousuke so much that they continued making a revenge plan for many years.

OriginallyShirasaka Sousukes crimes should be kept secret so it wont leak outside as hes born in a family with a great influence on media, which is Shirasaka house.

No matter how much information you release on the internet, it wont reach the flow of the people in the press industry to make it an article.

And yetthis time, the people from the same press industry, have abandoned Shirasaka house and reported Shirasaka Sousukes crimes.

It was Shirasaka houses network that refused to make a report till the end.

As for why the other media companies didnt try to protect Shirasaka Sousuke

That is probably because Jii-chan made a move from behind.

With Kouzuki houses powerShirasaka Sousukes crimes can be reported as a big campaign.

The three anti-mainstream faction of Shirasaka house

Can only think of that.

Theyre frightened only from Kouzuki Jii-chans power alone

In the first placeShirasaka Sousukes kidnapped in Australiaand was charged for raping a girl by the local police

The leaked evidence of Shirasaka Sousukes crimes and influencing the opinion on the internetare Minaho-neesans act

They arent thinking whos behind the scenes.

As for why Shirasaka Sousuke had gone through such horrible experience?

They dont imagine it.

They dont question it.

They dont even try to investigate.

That is.

Actuallythe fight is between us and Shirasaka houseKouzuki-san is just a mediator

Thats right.

This is all Minaho-neesan andKuromorisrevenge

Jii-chan is just a helping hand.

And yetthose people have been convinced that this is all Kouzuki-samas takeover plan

Minaho-neesan leaks a sigh.

Well yeahthose three only thinks thatKouzuki-san will use any method to make Shirasaka Moritsugu lose power and take over the newspaper and television company The matter about Shirasaka Sousuke is just a strategy to shake the Shirasaka houseits possible that Shirasaka Sousukes sins mightve just been made up by Kouzuki-sanor so they think

Margo-san said.

Reallytheyre rude

Minaho-neesan mutters.

Those people think that Minaho-neesans revenge is only a part of Jii-chans strategy.

They havent noticedKuromorisfierce vengeance at all?

Either waythose three dont care about Shirasaka Sousuke anymore

Thats right. Shirasaka Hiromitsu-san and Vice president Yamada only have the newspaper and TV station important to them. As for Shirasaka Ayakoshes fine as long as her son becomes the head of Shirasaka house even just by name

Katsuko-nee said.

Even as a member of the clanthey dont have to be concerned on a member of the advertising agency if its not in the TV and newspaper company of theirs

Margo-san said

Shirasaka Sousukes scandal is socially fatalonly to his close familyin short, they think that its only Shirasaka Moritsugu whove been cherishing Shirasaka Sousuke all this time. They think that even if theyre also in the same house, theyre not responsible

Nagisa said.

Margo-san smiles.

Thereforethe three of them were being cocky at Kouzuki-san at first

Now that Shirasaka Sousukes downfall becomes realistic

They have the desire to be the next leader of the Shirasaka group.

To them, theyve got nothing to do with Shirasaka Sousukes scandal.

Rather, in order to settle the group after Shirasaka Moritsugus defeat, their power is absolutely neededthats what they think.

Therefore, I kicked their asses as hard as I can. Theres no helping on those foolish people. They selfishly misunderstood my motives. At such times, I just kick them hard to let them know. Making sure that they wont ever try underestimating me again!

Jii-chan smiles wryly.

Butits miserable but I think that most of the people in the world will have the same view as those three

Minaho-neesan said.

Apart from the general publicpeople of the financial and political world would only see it asKouzuki-sama fighting Shirasaka Moritsugu

Does that mean?

Depending on the point of view, Jii-chans forcibly taking away Shirasaka houses coverage network

Jii-chan would become the bad guy?

I dont mind it anyway

Jii-chan tells MInaho-neesan.

Youve already become myfamilyIll endure any back biting if its for myfamily In the first placeIm a man with a lot of enemies. Increasing the number of people who are badmouthing me wont matter. Besides

Jii-chan smiles.

I thought that I should set my hands on reforming the news agencies in Japan someday. Since this is a good opportunity, Ill start working on this. Minaho-kun and Katsuko-kun will also cooperateright?

Minaho-neesan bows to Jii-chan

After going this far, well do what we can

Jii-chan stares at Minaho-neesan

But stillyoure still too distant. Call meGrandfathersoon

That isyou see

Minaho-neesans tense.

Wellyou can take your time. Ill be training you and Katsuko-kun in management thoroughly after all!

Kouzuki-sama?

Minaho-neesans surprised.

If you dont follow up, then wholl support Misuzu and Ruriko? Itll take time before my students become usable. Besidesthough I can leave the official work to themthey wont be able to do work behind the scenes very well. You two have a broad face in the underground

However, we areKuromoris!

Before Minaho-neesan was able to sayFormer prostitutes, Jii-chan interrupts her.

Its the past. Dont mind it. Rather, thanks to that past youve got a lot of connections

Minaho-neesan and Katsuko-neeknows a lot of political and financial names who were customers ofKuromori

You know well how to argue with those big names Could you make used of that ability for Misuzu and Rurikos sake?

Jii-chan looks at the two.

ButI want to do a bakery. A normal bakery

Katsuko-nee says painfully

I

Katsuko-neeleave the bakery to me

Dear?

Katsuko-nee looks at me.

Ill put on effort to make bread as delicious as Katsuko-nees. Ill make lots of bread everyday and have Katsuko-nee taste it. Then, Ill only sell bread that has Katsuko-nees approval

Ah, Ill make bread along with Yo-chan! Ill be the seller!

Nei-san says.

Of course all of the new products will be made by Katsun! Then, of course when youre not busy, you can help making and selling bread too. Its Katsuns store after all!

UnIll help out too

Margo-san adds

Michi, you help too

Misuzu tells Michi

B-Bread?

Michi looks uneasy.

Its fine. Ill learn to make one from Katsuko-nee so we can learn together. Well have a competition on who can make a delicious bread first

YesMaster!

It seems Michis fighting spirit gets fired up when it comes to competitions

Either way

This girl should experience girlish things like making food

Ill also help out. Ill relocate the shop and we can have Katsukos shop as our neighbor. Then, I can also manage the shop right?

Nagisa says.

Katsuko-nees in tears.

IdiotNagisas here

Here?

Even I have a lot of acquaintances you know?

Katsuko-neesuggests Nagisa should also join as Misuzu and Rurikos follow-up support.

Oh right. Of course

Nagisa smiles.

Theres no helping itIts for the familys sake!

Ruriko then ask me.

Uhm Is there anything I can do to help?

Then, Ruriko can also make bread

I told her

Im worried on Ruriko whos a super-Ojou-sama being on a store but

There would be no problem if she only makes bread inside the shop.

Understood. Lets make breads together Yoshiko!

Ruriko-sama

Even if shes like thisYoshikos good at making sweets

My, an immediate asset!

Nagisa looks at Yoshiko smiling.

Y-Yesthank you

Yoshiko-san feels happy that she found something she can do with Ruriko.

Reika-oneesan, what about you? Want to go to join the bakery too?

Margo-san turns to Reika.

Is Katsuko-chans bakery going to sell only bread?

Reika asks Katsuko-nee.

While at ithow about making it a cafe?

Hmma cafe where you can eat freshly baked bread looks good

Katsuko-nee answers.

Reika-oneesanare you interested in cafe?

Nei asksReika.

Yesa full fledged British style cafe

I seeshes an extreme British fan

Eh, then that means the clerks going to dress like maids and butlers?

Nei-san bites.

The maid cafe isnt trendy nowadays. If its a shop that produces tea time like a noble in British traditionthere will be those who will want to try it

Reika smiles

Yeah, thisBeat to death Swordswomanlady too

Though shes distorted in various ways, shes still a girl inside.

She wants to try a stylish and cute cafe.

Good, thats great! Lets do that! Im going to wear maid clothes!

Nei-sans in high spirits.

A flower shop, a bakery, and a cafeif were going to have three shops then we need a huge property

Better yet, why not buy an entire building?

Nagisa and Katsuko-nee begins consultations.

Hey hey, let me participate too

Jii-chan laughs.

Ill put investments. Ill find for a good land so you can decide where you want to be

Land?

Katsuko-nee asks in surprise.

Yeahlets build a new building. Ill make it sturdy that it wont even yield when earthquake comesIm worried about my daughtersafter all. The first floor can be a store and you can live on the upper floors. We can ask a top-class engineer to build it however you want it. Itll be your castle

Wow, my longtime ambitions are becoming reality at once!

Katsuko-nee said.

Itll beKuromori sistersbuilding right

Misuzu smiles.

When that happens, well make rooms for Misuzu-san and Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san. Ojii-chans room too!

Nagisa winks at Jii-chan

Hmmthats appreciated

Jii-chan said satisfied

The bath is obviously where everyone can enterHmmm, but I wish for an open-air bath on the roof too. Alsowhat about the bedroom?

Katsuko-nee asks Nagisa.

What to do?

Should everyone sleep on the same room?Or do you want to make love with just the two?

Wellwe need both It feels good to have sex with everyone but a night where its just the two at the bed is also needed

Right, of course!

Hmmthe 21 year old former classmates combo are having their delusions

But

What happened to Mana who takes the initiative joining in the talk?

AlsoMegu

Yukinos not talking at all too

The three of them are limpjust listening to our talk

As expected.

They must be shocked that Shirasaka house has completely abandoned them.

The head, Shirasaka Moritsugu even hired Shirasaka Sousuke to kill Shirasaka Sousukes relatives.

The three from the anti-mainstream faction completely ignored them.

Hmm

Anyway, its bad if this continues.

I try to talk to Mana but

Leave them for now

Margo-san whispered to my ear

Ehwhy?

Just do itthese girls dont see their own position

Position?

In groupsthere are roles

I dont get what Margo-sans saying

Until they see thatthey wont be able to have the energy to talk about the future with us

But, I cant just leave those three.

Then.

The door of the room opened and Seki-san comes in.

Kakkawere ready to go

Go?

Oh rightwe also have to move around the hotel so Violas army wont know where we are.

Then, lets goeveryone

Jii-chan looked at everyone then said.

The four combat personnel are dispersed in the formation decided a while ago.

Reikas walking ahead of the group.

This is so the rear group wont be damaged when were suddenly attacked.

BehindSeki-san is in front of the group.

Seki-san is holding her favorite pistol.

While guarding usshes also supporting Reika when attacked.

Behind is usJii-chan, Misuzu, and Ruriko are in the center.

Of course, Nei-san whos Violas target is also at the center.

Michi is behind Misuzu, Ruriko, and Yoshiko-san.

The four of them are wearing the same school uniform.

She can be a dummy in the momentand can guard Misuzu and others up close.

LastlyMargo-san is at the back checking the situation behind.

I decided to stay close to Margo-san.

The two elite can deal with the attacks in front but

As of now, the back feels weak.

I dont think I can do anything of help but

I think I can be a shield when theres a gunshot.

Seki-sanRoute B4 would do?

Chief Tanizawa ordered so

Reika and Seki-san exchanges few words.

They have decided patterns in correspondence to emergencies.

We left the wedding hall

Used the stairs to go down two floors.

The fire doors on the route were going through are already up.

Raising and lowering the fire door can be freely done from the control room

Misuzu tells me.

The fire door in this hotel prevents ordinary rifle shots, and is structured to be strong against exposions

In that case, the primary target of the intruder will be the control room?

If they open al of the fire doors in the corridors and stairs, the intruder can come inside the hotel freely.

Its fine. The control room is at the headquarters of Kouzuki security service. Its the place where most of the security department are in

Then that meansits under director Yamaokas jurisdiction

That person made a lot of blunders.

Also

Uhmthere used to be a movie where they repelled the terrorists inside the hotel by crawling through air ducts

Even if you close the stairs and corridors

If they come out of the duct

Thats quite an old movie isnt it?

Misuzu answers.

This hotel is built after the movie was screened. Therefore its okay

Really?

Theres not many ducts where humans can get through, and on the way, there are wire mesh too. Its only a dark place with no light sourcesyou cant get out of such a three dimensional maze

I see.

Youd get lost if you make a single mistake on the duct.

As expected the movies a fiction.

Its hard to pass through and get out on the place you want.

This way

Reika arrives in front of the room withSupply Roomwriiten on it.

Heres the key!

Seki-san throws the key to Reika.

She mustve taken the key from chief Tanizawa too.

Reika opens the lock

Please come in

We all entered the room.

The room have layers of movable shelvesand equipment the hotel dont use everyday.

The movable shelf sticks to the wall normallyIf theres a shelf where the thing you want to use is located, you turn the handle and make the space between the shelves be passable with one person only.

Reika and Seki-san moves one of the shelves.

Opening it to a persons widththey head to a box located on the interior.

Its a common plastic glove

Opening the lidtheres flags of nations jammed inside.

Nowadayswhere does modern hotel use this?

Reika then takes out a flag from the case.

Then.

Theres a numeric keypad remote switch coming out from the case.

Gimme

Seki-san takes the switch and enters the PIN

Kakka

Umu

Following, Jii-chan typed in some numbers

This should be good

Yes

Seki-san presses the main switch

Then the wall in the back of the room opens up.

Is this?

Its an elevator.

Its an elevator used for emergency situations. You can only enter through this room and this floor

Jii-chan said.

This hotel is made for important conferences with Kouzuki group from the beginning.

Therefore they have designed such an evacuation system during the blueprinting.

Jii-chan stays close to the floor where the emergency evacuation elevator is

When trying to cope in a sudden situation

This elevator will not start unless it confirms the vein on my right hand

Jii-chan puts his right hand on the panel next to the emergency elevator

Approved!

The announcer voice echoes from the elevator and it opens up.

This elevator can only have five passengers at a time. Enter in turns!

First is Ruriko and Yoshiko-san. Then, Minaho-neesan and Nei-san. Then Seki-san enters as guard.

Though it may be impossiblewe have to assume that the enemy is waiting in the emergency evacuation room.

Jii-chan Misuzu and Ruriko not riding in together is also another of those assumptions.

If everyones captured at once, then theres no saving.
