Chapter 448. Onee-samas watching

Uhm, what do you mean by that, Seki-san?

Reikas surprised by Seki-sans sudden battle declaration.

Its okay. Ive already beaten up around three people before you

Seki-san smiles.

Shes beaten up three people?!

Fujimiya-san, You already know that Chief Tanizawa nominated me to be the next site manager of Kouzuki security service, dont you?

Y-Yes

Reika replies timidly

That would make Seki-san the second rank of Kouzuki security service, next to Chief Tanizawa.

No, it shows chief Tanizawas willingness to leave the site and have the guards of Kouzuki security service follow Seki-sans guidance in the future.

The person in charge of the security department doesnt matter, that has to be rebuilt from the very foundation. Well, everyone in that department has the senses of an office worker

Edie opened the glass door leading to the veranda earlier.

The refreshing sea breeze blows into the room again.

But, the behind-the-scenes division, top elites, is filled with strange people like Fujimiya-san

I recall the top elites who appeared at the hotels final fight last night.

Everyone has such a dreadful and robust atmosphere.

Well, even so, the people in our company have sociality at least. If not, everyone would be freelancers

Yeah, like the Banbarubie 3 ladies, or old man Dai Grepher.

If you go to that level, itll become impossible to become a member of an organization.

But still, they exist. Even our employees, to have such a young woman like me order them, perfectly level them

Could it be that Seki-san?

Chief Tanizawa told me to silence them all but, I dont like that. I want to do something with my power as the person in charge

Who did you fight?

Reika asks.

Mutou-san, Tokihama-san, and Hashimoto-san

Arent those the three musketeers?

Right, I took them down one by one!

Seki-san laughs.

Let me tell you beforehand, Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san, the two monsters have accepted my inauguration to the top. Well, those people are satisfied working as full-time guards of Kakka, so theyre not interested in taking further control of the security service nor have desires to rise in life. Besides, theyre my former colleagues, you see? Knowing chief Tanizawa, he did let me work with them to make them acknowledge my ability

They know her disposition, so Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san are pleased with Seki-sans success.

In the first place, theyre homo so as long as its not someone like chief Tanizawa, they wont follow a male boss. They seem to prefer a woman like me because they can talk with beauty supplies, health goods, and brands sale

Those bear or demon guys are talking about beauty.

With that said, I took down people who say they dont like to be under me one by one. Thats a replacement to greeting me as the officer in charge on site

Seki-san swings her shoulders, bends her knees.

Shes doing a warm-up before battle.

Its inevitable, its quite troublesome, but I cant do anything about it. Even those who doubt my abilities but subordinates under chief Tanizawas face, people who have that dissatisfaction will betray when needed. In the end, the world of the guards is an ultimate strength doctrine. Its the duty of the higher up to show the difference in status

Reika;

Seki-san, please wait for a moment

What? Is there anything wrong?!

Seki-san looks at Reika with a calm attitude.

I am not against Seki-san standing on top of the company. I already know Seki-sans ability enough

Reika and Seki-san fought together with us at the hotel.

She knows Seki-san who worked on the same death ground very well.

Oh, I wonder, you havent fought me fair and square, have you?

Seki-san laughs.

Theres no need for it; we dont have a reason to fight

Reikas confused.

You dont, I do. Fujimiya-san

Seki-sans words silenced the room.

Ive been tolerating you as a colleague until now, but this time, were boss and subordinate. Let me be frank, chief Tanizawas guidance on you was wrong. I must give you educational leadership using my methods

Seki-san.

Fight me, its an order Fujimiya Reika!!!

Then, Seki-san smiles at us.

Oh, you can watch in silence, this is an internal problem

But, Seki-san, why?! Please tell us the reason!

Ruriko speaks.

If Seki-san and Fujimiya-san fight, Fujimiya-san will hold back on her superior, Seki-san. Its possible that it might become one-sided

Then, whats wrong with that?

Seki-san smiles.

Well, just in case, I gave the order to fight seriously

Thats!

I

Its okay, Ruriko

I stop Ruriko

Onii-sama, but!

Ruriko turns to me.

You still speak like youre the daughter of Kouzuki house. You think of Kouzuki security service as your subordinate, dont you?

Thats why she opposes Seki-sans behavior.

Thats

Leave it to Seki-san, believe in her

Seki-san wont be asking for a fight without any thought about it.

Thank you, believe in me

Seki-san tells me.

Im glad. It feels like there are butterflies in my stomach

Then, she looks at Reika once again.

Theres two rules. Use of weapons is banned. You cant use your cane

Im a swordswoman

Reika looks up at Seki-san when she heard that.

The battle cane is Reikas identity as a guard.

My, if we decide to use weapons then I will use a gun? Dont you get it?

Fighting with a cane vs. a pistol in this place,

Thatll call the danger to us nearby.

In the first place, youre a guard! Dont think you can use your cane at all times! Thats the part where chief Tanizawas spoiling you! Youve been drilled to fight with your bare fists at least once, right?! Or does it mean that youll lose if you dont have your cane

Seki-san smiles provocatively.

Well, whatever you do Ill beat you up still

Reika;

My strength doesnt change even without my cane.

My, my speed is well established too

There are criticisms that speed only takes down the power

Hmm, well then, can you win against me?

If thats an order

Seki-san looks at Reika then laughed.

Your strong look as a guard comes back finally

Then, she heads out the veranda.

Very well, then fight me seriously. I will crush your whole body and soul!

Reika stands.

Onii-chama

She hands me her cane.

Shes letting me hold to it.

Sure

I accept the cane.

Its heavy.

Reikas usually swinging such a massive object.

Papa

Agnes clings to me, afraid.

Its okay, tell Rei-chan to do her best

Rei-chan, do your best desuno

Agnes words soak inside Reikas heart.

Yes. Ill do my best

Fujimiya-san, please fight with all your best

Ruriko also supports Reika.

Yes

Hurry up and finish it! Im already hungry! Hows my sausage and potato assortment!

Yukino said from behind.

In the first place, we havent ordered yet, Yukino.

Anyway, to make sure we dont regret anything. Let it all out

I look at Reikas tall body.

Let it out?

Yes, let it out. Rei-chan

Seki-san stands in the veranda that can hold more than 30 parties.

Seki-san speaks to Edie in English.

Were going to have a match so dont interfere, thats probably what she said.

Edie nods then go to the corner.

The skys blue from the early summer.

The background is the vast ocean.

The two face each other as the sea breeze blows.

Seki-sans wearing the black pantsuit, very much like Kouzuki security service.

Her hand has a mustard colored leather gloves.

Reikas on her usual British gentleman crossdress.

She has black leather gloves on her hand.

Well then, lets begin

Seki-san takes a stance.

On the other hand, Reika who doesnt have her cane feels like shes at a loose end.

Seki-san slowly closes the distance.

Fujimiya-san, I thought of it but;

Seki-san said.

Humans are creatures, you see? Creatures are said to move. Therefore, I think its better to move your body when you worry. Thats my opinion

Seki-san, what do you know!

Reika starts the fight.

She presses strongly like shes about to crush the floor!

Reikas hand goes to Seki-sans head!

Haa!

Seki-san holds Reikas hand from below then thrusts to Reikas bosom.

Gashi!!!

Seki-sans elbow hits Reikas belly.

Guh!

Reika tries to catch Seki-sans body, but;

By that time, Seki-sans already apart from Reika.

Slow, slow, slow! Fujimiya-san!

However, Seki-sans strike doesnt seem to give much damage to Reika.

Reika chases Seki-san who escapes with light footwork.

No, your movement is too linear!

Reikas fist and kicks dont hit Seki-san.

What, did you forget to handle your footwork from Kendo when you dont hold your stick?!

Seki-san said, Reika stops at once and fixes her posture.

Thats right, slide your foot and strike at the interval of the other partys breathing, isnt that how Fujimiya-san fights?

Yeah, as soon as she changed her footwork to Kendo, Reikas movement stabilizes.

Her speeds gone better.

However, that still cant win against me

Seki-san said Reika accelerates further.

Seeing the fist as a sword, she chases Seki-san with her Kendo footwork.

Toooaa!!

As soon as Reikas sticks her fist to Seki-san;

Seki-san slips through the fist and brushes Reikas foot!

Uwa!

Reika pitched and fell.

My my, what are you doing, Fujimiya-san?

Seki-san smiles provocatively

Ngu!

Reika stood up quickly and attacked Seki-san.

But.

The difference in speed is noticeable.

Seki-san keeps on dodging Reikas attacks, uses the momentum to attack and turn Reika over again and again.

Reikas the only one knocked down on the dusty veranda floor multiple times.

If its just martial arts instead of swordsmanship, Seki-sans far better than Reika.

Hey, dont get stuck there like a stupid, how about using your head a bit?

Seki-san laughs.

Kuh!!!

Reika jumps up and challenges Seki-san once again.

Right.

Reika indeed has an unyielding personality.

If it were Ootoku-san, he wouldve brought you down with counter attacks. With that physique, your body will be crushed once he countered you, right? Like this!

As soon as Reika makes a hit, Seki-san twists her body.

Reika then pitches forward. Her body crashed to the concrete wall.

Doing this wont hurt you that much

But.

Seki-san doesnt attack Reika.

Its all Reika attacking Seki-san, Seki-san using Reikas strength to make her crash.

She sometimes adds a blow, but Seki-sans attack isnt as effective as Reikas.

Seki-sans blow is weak, or;

Shes purposely missing Reikas vital points.

Edie looks at the two fighting impressed.

Seki-san is right on not hitting vital points as its a match.

If this was a serious killing fight;

Then this tanned battle girl should be more excited.

Haa, haa, haa, haa

Fuu, fuu, fuu, haa

Their fight lasted nearly ten minutes.

Both of them are sweating on their forehead. They show a color of fatigue.

But, Reika looks much more awful.

Shes been taken down over and over that her British gentleman suit is covered in dust.

Her hairs messed up.

On the other hand, Seki-san.

Is she feeling hot? She took off a button on the chest part of her blouse.

I can see her black lace bra.

What, youre already tired? This isnt even calisthenics

Seki-san said while wiping her swear with one hand.

What about you Seki-san, dont you look tired?

Stop the jokes; I can continue for two more hours. Ive never kissed the floor unlike someone here!

Saying that Seki-san has a lot of momentum compared to Reika who kept attacking quickly.

Ready yourself!!

Reika dashes once again.

Naive, naive!!!

Seki-san pitches Reika forward again like a bullfighter.

Reika kneels on the floor.

Haa, haa, haa

Reikas breathing roughly

Thats enough, Seki-san

Huh?

Its my loss. I dont mind losing

Reika said with her eyes dropped on the floor.

Theres no point in this fight!

Then, Seki-san;

She walks towards Reika then grabbed her collar.

Seki-san?

Then.

Pan!!

She slapped Reika!!

Who cares if this fight has no point!!!

Seki-san shouts at Reika.

No matter what fight it is, once you started it then fight to the end! Use whatever methods you can to grab the victory! Youre a guard, arent you?!!

Seki-san is seriously angry.

Shes gripping Reikas suit tightly.

Reikas staring at Seki-san in a daze.

No matter what kind of opponent it is, no matter how unreasonable the situation, even if youre cornered, fight until death. Dont ever accept defeat! Dont give up to the end! Fujimiya Reikaaa!!!

Seki-san.

If you give up then what will happen to the people behind us! Whatever happens, dont lose, dont lose, dont lose!!

Reika;

Seki-san, I

Your awareness is too damaged! Guards need to have the tenacity of never losing! This is why chief Tanizawa never let you took charge on an important subject!

Thats right.

Reika doesnt have an assigned subject even though shes a top elite.

Look over there!

Seki-san points at us in the room.

Theyre your family, arent they?!!

Reika looks at us.

If someone attacked that man in front of your eyes and killed, would you feel sad?

S-Seki-san?!

Answer me!

Reika looks at me.

I would feel sad

What if an assassin killed Ruriko-sama

I-I would

I see, then what if Agnes-chan was murdered?

Reikas startled.

Thats, no! Never!

Looking at the small blonde girl in my arms, Reika screams.

Oh, it seems that you finally got the realistic image when you think about Agnes

Huh?

Its not that Im evil on Fujimiya-san. For her, you and Ruriko-sama are already protected even if she doesnt do anything

Seki-san turned to us and said.

I have Margo-san and others.

Ruriko has Kouzuki security service behind her.

But she feels danger for Agnes-chan

Oh

Reika noticed the abnormality of the mansion these past few days.

Minaho-neesan regards Agnes as a target of her revenge.

Thats why she was out from the mansion on purpose yesterday.

She cant bear watching me try to open up Agnes heart.

Agnes will be ruthlessly raped tonight.

Fujimiya-san, if you dont protect her, her life would be miserable. Do you think youre allowed to abandon your fight with that life in line?

I

In the first place, the feeling that its not a problem if you cannot protect him or Ruriko-sama is already a big problem

Seki-san sighs

Here, stand, Fujimiya-san

Seki-san gets Reika up.

Lets have a slap fight

Slap fight?

Reikas surprised.

No questions, were starting

Bashi!

Seki-san slaps Reika.

Go, youre next. Slap me

I

I told you to do it!

Uwaaaaa!

Bishi!

Reikas hand hits Seki-sans cheek.

Are you even trying?!

Bishi!

Seki-san slaps Reika

Go, your turn

Reika

Please stop, spare me already!

She falls, crying.

In the end, chief Tanizawa didnt come. He respects you as a Kendo specialist from scouting you as the queen of high school Kendo

Seki-san said.

Therefore, Fujimiya-san became a professional guard without having a person to protect

Seki-san pats Reikas crying head.

Nobody taught you the resolve to be a guard, you were accepted from just your strength with your sword. Thats a big mistake

Seki-san.

People are beaten up by adults, lose, feeling humiliation and defeat, they have to memorize their work one by one

Seki-sans words soak in Reikas heart.

Youre weak. Even with your stick, the strength to wield it, and even with your Kendo skills, Fujimiya-sans weak. You had never wanted to protect a person from the bottom of your heart

Reikas taken aback.

Its the feeling of wanting to protect someone even making yourself their shield. You cant be a guard if you dont have the apparent enthusiasm despite it being a job, a profession

I-I

Well, Fujimiya-sans been alone since she lost her grandfather. You think that nothing matters in your life because you are alone thats why you became a guard as desperation, am I wrong? But you see, you cant protect anyone with that way of thinking. Even yourself

Seki-san

Then, how about now? You have your family. Whos your family?

Reika.

Agnes-chan, Mao-chan, Mana-chan, and everyone

Oh, inside Reikas heart.

She feels close to the young girls.

Her priority on Ruriko and me is low.

Oh well, without everyone, you cant protect the family. Take a look. Agnes-chan is clinging to him firmly. Hes hugging Agnes-chan tightly too. Agnes-chan needs him

Seki-san said, reinforcing the significance of our existence.

Would Agnes-chan hug Fujimiya-san that way? Would she come close to you wanting to be protected?

Reika;

No, I dont think she wont come close

I see, are you okay with that, do you want it to stay like that?

Huh?

Dont you wish for Agnes-chan to depend on you?

Thats

Speak honestly! Fujimiya Reika!!

Seki-san slaps Reika once again.

I want her to rely on me!! I want her to depend on me!

Do you want to protect Agnes?!

I do!

Seki-san smiles.

Then grow up. Be strong. Swear to never lose for that girls sake

Seki-san?!

Seki-san hugs Reikas head gently.

I also went to an all girls school like you so I can understand Fujimiya-san

You were sought by your peers to be the prince, as the sense of responsibility is deeply rooted in you that you did your best to respond to them. Thats why you became the prince in just form

Incidentally, Fujimiya Reika became a beat-to-death swordswoman, dressed up in male clothes.

But, you, the prince had no vassal. A prince just for the looks feels very empty all the time. Thats why it turned to this

S-Seki-san

Besides, chief Tanizawa scouted you while still looking like the prince, and became a guard like that.

Reikas solitude never cleared up.

Its okay now. You have a family. Its okay, you can worry about Agnes-chan and the small girls. You can concentrate on protecting those children. In exchange, you must defend them to death

Seki-san said.

I will worry about your concerns. Therefore, you can open up your heart to us

Seki-san, are you trying to become Reikas guardian?

Didnt I tell you? You were a prince in the all girls school but, be at ease. Ive always wanted to be an Onee-sama

Onee-sama?

I have a long experience as an elder sister

She hugs Reika gently.

Ill be your Onee-sama
