Chapter 382. Confronting Ceremony

Now then, since the breakfast is overwe decided to take a memorable group photo.

In front of Agnes bedwith Agnes as the center.

On Agnes sides are Mana and EdieMao-chan is in front so Agnes cant move.

And then, in one go

Okaaay, Megumi-chan, your face is covered so move a bitReika-oneesan, a bit on the right, only half of your face is shown. HmmOkay. Wait for a moment

Katsuko-nee whos looking into the digital camera on the tripodsets the timer.

I feel sorry that Margo-sans not here

When I say that, Nei

Well, we can just have Margo-oneesan put on a separate photo and include her!

Hmm, it feels like a student whos absent from the graduation album pictorial

If not, Katsu-nee will photoshop it!

Photoshopumumu

We can just take another. Its not this would be the first and last!

Kyouko-san said.

Okaay, ready. Everyone smilehere we go!

Katsuko-nee pressed the shutter thenshe run towards us in a hurry.

The light of the camera flickers.

Katsuko-nee jumps next to Minaho-neesan!

Click!

The cameras shutter snaps.

Okay, thats one. Thank you for your cooperation!

When the group photo is overwe cleaned up our breakfast.

Kyouko-san brought the stepladderand examine the statue of Shirasaka Sousuke.

Ah, this wont do. Its solidified and welded to the base. We cant easily take it out!

I hear Kyouko-sans voice from above.

Instead of that, how about we bring in a jackhammer and break it apart? Its easier that way

JackhammerOh, Kudou-papa had one of those. If I recall correctly.

Well, its troublesome to bring up a gas welder herehow about we blow this up?

Miss Cordelia says something extreme.

If we set explosives here, and hereItll be a breeze. Theres not much gunpowder needed

But you see think theres some iron stuffed inside this

Ohthere was definitely some on Saddam Husseins statue that was taken down on news videos

Anyway, lets smash down the feet part andbreak the stuffing inside?

Kyouko-san and miss Cordelia discusses above.

Please wait, Kyouko-san! If you break it too muchitll be a trauma to Agnes!

Katsuko-nee looks up.

Agnes looks up worriedly at her image ofGod as Kyouko-san and miss Cordelia touches it all over.

Shirasaka Sousukes brainwashing is very deep.

Ever since Agnes was bornshes been educated to worship Shirasaka Sousuke.

UnIt might be harsh for Agnes if we show her thestatue of Godbroken

Well, either way, we cant do it right away. Give me some sheets or something. Lets hide it so she cant see for the time being

Miss Cordelia said.

Yeserr

I brought spare sheets with me yesterday

Megubrings in the sheets.

No, just sheets wont do. The silhouette must change so Agnes cant imagine the original image anymore. Bring all of that blankets around. Katsukoget some packing tape!

Kyouko-san shouts.

Okaay

Katsuko-nee and Megu runs aroundpreparing what they were told.

Then, Eenie and Meenie goes up the stairs and hand it to Kyouko-san and miss Cordelia one after another

Woah!

Shirasaka Sousukes statueis covered with blankets and wrapped with packing tape.

You can no longer know what it is from the outside.

Its a bit ofCrafting artright

Kyouko-san grins.

For the time being, even if the statues hidden, its still here, the statue still exists so Agnes stress would be reduced. Whats left is for everyone to do their best to make Agnes dont care about Sousuke anymore

Kyouko-san said as she comes down the stepladder.

Oh rightlets knock down that wall and connect this room tothe other

Oh, theres that

This can be done right awayso should we do this?

Huh?

Kyouko-san, shall we bring tools?

Not needed. Us four will just kick it!

Hmm.

Reika-chan, was it? Bring your cane with you and help us break it down

Uh, yes

Reika tries to hold her cane, but

Kyouok-san, stop for now

Minaho-neesan whos opening her laptopstops Kyouko-san

Huh, why?

If Kyouko-san breaks itthe debris would scatter, its dangerous for the children

Well, I can just be careful in that regard

No. Theres no time to carry the debris to the upper floorand if the rubble remains, its dangerous for them to play around

TrueIf Mao-chan or Edie plays with the debris, they might get hurt.

I seetrue. Minahos right. Lets break this wall when we have the time and labor

Kyouko-sans convinced.

Rather than thatYukino-san has arrived

Minaho-neesan shows the screen.

Ooh, how is it?!

Everyone gather in front of Minaho-neesans laptop.

Minaho-neesan raised the volume of the external speaker.

Apparentlyits a video from the morning tabloid shows.

Yes, were here in front of Shirasaka Sousukes house. There has been information released to the media that Shiraska Sousukes daughter, Yukino-san, who was kidnapped by a criminal organization will be released here!

The male reporter screams in front of Yukinos house.

In front of Yukinos house are more than a hundred reporters and onlookers gathered

Eh, according to our coverageIts said that Yukino-san has been kidnapped by a criminal organization that was close to Shirasaka Sousuke. The criminal organization was dissatisfied by Shirasaka Sousukes actions and held Yukino-san as a hostage

It seems thats the story for the media.

This must be a work of Minaho-neesan and Jii-chan1

Thisis the photo of Yukino-san being kidnapped

The reportershows a photo from the entrance ceremony

The particles are rough.

Anyway, Yukinos photo is presented.

Its a very bright and cheerful girlshe seems to have a good reputation in the neighborhood

If limit only on what you can see on the photoYukinos a weak girl.

She can only be seen as a victim of a crime organization kidnappingbeing caught up with her stupid fathers case.

AhJust now, Yukino-sans grandfathers car has arrived on scene

A big black car comes from across the crowd.

Its old man Ichikawas car.

Kouzuki security services uniformed guards push through the press and onlookers for the car to get through

As expected, Jii-chans involved too.

Eh, this is Yukino-sans maternal grandfatherIchikawa Shinishiro. Ah, it seems that the mothers in side the car too. Yukino-sans mother, Shirasaka Youko-san is known as a famous culinary researcher

Yamashita-san

The host from the TV station studio calls the reporters.

Yes?

Shirasaka housemr. Moritsugu has been sent to the hospital, butis there anyone from Shirasaka house around?

No. There doesnt seem to be anyone from the Shirasaka family. Even against a criminal organizationShirasaka house refuses to pick up Yukino-san

ThenShirasaka house hasnt touched the subject of releasing Yukino-san at all?

Yesthe grandfather, Mr. Ichikawa, and the mother, Youko-sanhad paid 300 million yen ransom to have her released

Somehowits turned amazing.

The initial reports of Mr. Shirasaka Sousukes case were just an assault on a foreign land butit has developed to a big sex scandal spread out through the entertainment worldfurthermore, it has been confirmed that Shirasaka Sousuke had kidnapped, confined, and women over the years with a certain criminal organization

The announcer in the studio talks about the outline of the incident while showing the fussy outside of Yukinos house.

In response to this incidentShirasaka Sousukes uncle, Shirasaka Moritsugu retires from being a representative of the newspaper, and television station

Shirasaka clan was called to be the aristocrat of media buttheyre now in trouble because of of the outrageousness of one of their member

The host speaks.

Yes. And yetwe still dont know the whereabouts of Shirasaka Sousuke. We only know that he was deported from Australia to Japan butthe trail afterwards was completely unknown

Thenthis morning, the news of his daughter kidnapped suddenly came in.

Yes. It seems that the criminal organization that has been teaming up with Shirasaka Sousuke so far had a problem with him. Thenthe eldest daughter, Yukino-san, was abducted from her high school the other day

Oh

The last official place Yukino was witnessed

After I raped her in the room next to the principals office(which everyone thinks it was Endou)

Margo-san and Nei-san kidnapped her at the schoolyard.

Margo-san told everyone thatI was hired by a Yakuza to come and get Yukino

Thenshe was released with a ransom of 300 million yen?

Yes, thats the information we have received and confirmed

The host and announcer are having such a conversation.

Thiswont it be bad if Margo-san appears on TV?

Mana said.

Trueif Margo-san shows up, itll be a problem later.

Yestherefore, we had someone else deliver Yukino-san instead of Margo

Minaho-neesan said

Someone else?

Theres a person fit for this kind of situations!

What?

Lookhes there

We look into the screen

Ahtheres a car coming from the other side! W-What is it? It looks like its playing some loud musicwell be heading there!

The music we hear from the speakers is!

Its Wagners Valkyries ride

Reika mutters.

Then, I remember the car thats playing that loud music.

Yeah

Theres a hugeKudou Detective Officewritten on the side of the minivan

This is Kudou-papa

Well, he might be the man fit for the job.

Pushing the crowd to the sideKudou-papa stops the car in front of Yukinos house.

The driver seats door opens.

Yes yes yesLadies and Gentlemen + Fathers and Mothers, everyones gathering this early in the morning!

Kudou-san speaks while basking in the flashes of cameras

Heeey, Ichikawa-san! Ichikawa-san! In response to your request we have rescued your grandchild from the violent organizationheeey

Kudou-papa thrusts into the television reporter.

UhmYukino-san, is Yukino-san safe?!

Hey hey, werent you told to tell your name first before asking people things? What did you learn from your mother?

My mother has nothing to do with this!

Thats right!

Kudou-papa ignores the reporters and walk to Ichikawa-sans luxury car.

The uniformed guards from Kouzuki security service whos guarding the car quickly paves the way.

It seems that the security guards have been reeducated after the incident at the hotel.

Kudou-papa knocks into the window of the divers seat of old man Ichikawas car.

The window opens only a bit.

W-Whats with you?

Old man Ichikawas frightened voice is picked up by the microphone.

What?Im one ofKakkasdogs

That does seem to be the story here.

What should we do?

Nothingyou and your daughterwill get out of the car and welcome your grandchild

Kudou-papa said.

Your granddaughter seems to have experienced quite the cruelty

I dont want to be seen by the mediaget the car beside us and Ill take over my grandchild

Mr. Ichikawa doesnt want Yukino and his photos to be taken so much

We cant have thatyour granddaughter will be walking from my car to here.

Isnt that 10 meters away!?

What? Its just 10 meters you know

Kudou-papa grins

Its much closer than the thought that youd never see each other againright?

Old man Ichikawa

Understood. Youko, lets get off the car

ButFather!

We can take Yukino back for surewhen we have Yukino, we would know Maikas whereaboutsBut

Its for Yukinos sake

The old man looks at Yukinos mother.

Ive already left the company so I have nothing to protect

But I still

Give it upYou cant go to gorgeous places anymore. We already cant

Aaah

Yukinos mother sighs.

ThenI will be pulling out Yukino-chan!

Kudou-papa heads to his car once again

Okay, everyone aroundpeople from the media, Shirasaka Yukino-san would be released! Ah, right, Ill just say it just in case butwe, just as the car says, are detectives. Private detective. A humble detective in town! We dont have any relationship with the criminal group that kidnapped Yukino-san at all!

Then, why do you have the kidnapped daughter!

One of the reporters shouts.

Hey, hold your horses!Who just said that, you?Ah, its this mouth?! Hey!

W-Whatyoure using violence?Hey!

Im not a cheap guy to be called like that by someone like you!

What about you, werent you calling me just You!!

Shut up! Im, You and Youre You!

He tightens up the collar of the reporter

I just received instructions to rescue Shirasaka Yukino from the criminal groupwhats wrong with that, got a complaint?

Kudou-papa then throws the reporter to the flock of people.

After all, Im Kudou Yuusaku, a private detective. My cars this. This is my phone number and mailing address!

Kudou-papa taps the body of the minivan.

From cheating wives to rescuing abducted ladiesIm waiting for a job!

Kudou-papa poses in front of the camera.

Yeah, I dont get it, but

Anyway, Kudou-papa continues to pose.

Now then, wellwell be taking out the kidnapped princess!

The sliding door of the van opens.

ThenYukinos on board.

Yukinos covered in blanket, her whole bodys hidden.

Her eyes have a mask.

Her ears have a huge head phones on it.

Oopsplease dont mind the princess outfit. As promised with the criminal organization that kidnapped this girlwe were supposed to keep the eyes and ears blocked so she doesnt know where shes taken. It cant be helped you know? Ive been negotiating with an organization with such evil spirits!

Blindfoldedand loud sound rings to her ears.

Yukinos picking up the rhythm with her shoulder.

She doesnt notice the presence of the reporters and journalists.

Now then!

Kudou-papa grabs Yukinos arm.

Hey, get offyour grandfather and mother are waiting for you!

But, Yukino whos eyes and ears are closed off

Hey, what! Dont touch me! Pervert!

That was Yukinos firsts words broadcasted all over Japan.

No wayyou too want to rape me?!!!

Yukinos words

Turn the reporters quiet.

Just come with me!

Kudou-papa forcibly pulled Yukino off the van.

Hey, stop this! Dont touch me! I dont want to be raped anymore!!!

Kudou-papa takes off Yukinos headphones.

The audio coming from the headphonesas expected its Valkyrie.

Were hereIchikawa-san is here too

Kudou-papa spoke to Yukino in a low voice different from ever.

Oh really?! I wont forgive you if its a lie!

What do you intend to do if its a lie?

Im going to bite off your dick!

Yukinos voice is delivered to the whole country via airwaves.

Heycan I remove the mask too?

Wait a momentIll give Ichikawa-san the signal!

Kudou-papa waves his hand to old man Ichikawa.

Ichikawa-saaan! Come out!!!

Click

Old man Ichikawa and Yukinos mother comes down from the black-painted luxury car.

Yukinoooo!!

Shirasaka Youko shouts.

Yukino tries to remove her eye mask but

Not yet!

Kudou-papa stops her.

Why!!?

You seeformality is important!

Yukino takes off her eye mask.

The lights flashes to Yukinos face all at once.

Yukinos blinded by the flood of light.

Hey hey, spare hershes not a pokemon!

Kudou-papa shoutsstepping on the edge of the blanket wrapping Yukino.

Up until now, she was holding the blanket with both hands, but

Yukino now has let go of her hand to remove her eye mask.

Yukinos blanket is pulled down from the back.

Ah.

Yukinos wearing the torn school uniform.

Back when I raped Yukino, messed her up

Shes wearing a panty, but

Shes not wearing a bra.

Her pink nipples are clearly seen.

If we expose even her bottom part, the broadcast would be cancelled!

Minaho-neesan laughs.

Y-Yukino!!!

Yukinos mother exclaims.

Hurry up and come here!!!

Old man Ichikawa shoutsand Yukino regains consciousness.

KyaaaaaaaaWhats with this!!

Yukino hides her chest with both hands!

Dont take photos! I said dont! Idiot! Perverts! Die all of you! I hate you all!!!

Speaking out all of her insultsshe runs towards old man Ichikawas car.

She dashed the 10 meter distance.

Ufufuwhoever sees that, theyll think that Yukino-san was raped by gangsters. And yet, whats with her attitude? Well, there wont be anyone who would be sympathizing with Yukino-san in Japan

Minaho-neesan laughs.

Hey, Ojii-chan, what are you doing! HUrry up and get in! Mama tooI hate everyone!

Old man Ichikawa and Yukinos mother gets on the car in a hurry.

Finally, Yukino jumps in.

ThenThe guards of Kouzuki security service who had been guarding the car until now retreated from the spot at once.

The cameras, reporters, and onlookers

They surround Old man Ichikawas car

Banging the window.

Calling them out.

Flashing the cameras
