Chapter 654.


「 I knew it, leaving these girls to you was the right choice 」

Jii-chan looked at me and laughed .

「 Now then, it’s time for me to go back . I’ll come to see the results tomorrow . I’ll leave it to you to judge whether they’re suited to become prostitutes or not 」

「 And if they’re not, what will you do? 」

I asked .

「 Then I’ll have to cut my losses 」

「 Cut losses? 」

「 Yes, dealing with the loss even if little is better than nothing . I’ll replace the head of the Yakuza who want to take over the Takakura shrine and replace it with someone who’ll do what I tell them . That the first one 」

「 So what about these girls? 」

「 I’ll sell them to the Yakuza with the highest bid . What’s left is for them to do whatever they like, then the history of Takakura shrine maidens will be over 」

Jii-chan said . The Takakura sisters shivers .

「 Why would you do that? 」

I asked .

Can’t you freely use the arbitration system if you get your hands on these sisters?

「 These girls are not shrine maidens . They’re in the middle of training . They don’t have their “Miko power” yet 」

「 Miko power? 」

「 Yes . Currently, hardly any Yakuza uses the “Miko power” formally . But that’s not it . “Miko power” does exist 」

Looking at the Takakura sisters, they’re looking down .

「 People who’ll buy them at a high price will not train them properly . When that happens, they won’t be able to obtain the “Miko power” 」

「 That’s why we asked for Kouzuki-sama’s help 」

Takakura Yomiko looks up and speaks to Jii-chan .

「 Kouzuki-sama should know the worth of the “Miko power!” 」

Jii-chan .

「 Yes, I know . I know it more than you do 」

He answered in a cold tone .

「 I know it not only from your mother but your grandmother and great-grandmother as well 」

Kouzuki house was originally a noble family in Kyoto .

The peerage from Meiji era went to Tokyo and developed various enterprises and created an economic boom . They have deepened their relationship with the government .

On top of that, Jii-chan mentioned that he went to college in Kyoto .

He should know the Takakura shrine from Tokyo long ago .

「 Therefore, I know well that now your mother is gone, it would be challenging for you three to train by yourselves to become shrine maidens 」

「 That’s 」

Yomiko-san mumbles .

「 That’s not true! Yomiko-sama will be able to do it! 」

Tsukiko-san defends Yomiko-san .

「 That’s right! I’m sure Onee-sama will become a Miko 」

Luna-san too

「 I wonder, if you ask me, what he said earlier was a legitimate evaluation of you 」

Jii-chan looks at me .

「 Tsukiko-kun is worth more than Yomiko-kun . The Yakuza who want to get their hands on Tsukiko-kun are earnest . I think that they’ll buy you at a high price 」

I knew it, Tsukiko-san’s a daughter of a big boss .

「 Luna-kun as well . Those who want you will surely pay out the asking price . Yomiko-kun’s the problem . You probably won’t sell that high . You’re not a shrine maiden right now after all 」

「 !!! 」

「 The young ones who tried to take over Takakura shrine will manage somehow even with the current you . However, elderly people like me who know and have seen the “Miko power” with my own eyes knows the reality . To be honest, Yomiko-kun now won’t be able to succeed becoming a shrine maiden 」

「 K-Kouzuki-sama!!! 」

Yomiko-san screams to Jii-chan, showing a sorrowed face .

「 The people who’ll buy you will turn Takakura house’s shrine maiden as their subordinate . Therefore, even if you say that you’ll become the future arbitrator and leave things to you, they’ll ignore it . It’s meaningless to call yourself a shrine maiden if you don’t have the power . Shouldn’t you be the one who understands that the most? 」

Oh, Jii-chan’s using his negotiation techniques .

He denies the value of a shrine maiden and then making them recognize the “Miko power . ”

Actually, is that “Miko power” even real?

I don’t know if the Yakuza are really thinking about that .

I think that just being a nominal shrine maiden and having the blood of Takakura family will have considerable influence .

That’s why the sisters were desperate to escape to Tokyo, away from the Yakuza .

However, the Takakura sisters . Especially Takakura Yomiko .

She believes that “Miko power” has worth .

She agrees with Jii-chan .

「 Then what should we do? Why did Kouzuki-sama bring us who have no worth to Tokyo? 」

Jii-chan grins .

「 It’s to make you meet him . If not, you cannot train yourselves 」

Me?

「 Though your late mother had taught you to train your mind, she hasn’t taught you to prepare with your body yet, has she? 」

「 That’s right 」

Takakura Yomiko admits .

「 He will teach you . All you have to do is put it to practice 」

「 Kuromori-sama will? 」

I don’t know how to train shrine maidens though?

「 The Takakura shrine maidens were wandering shrine maidens, mainly prostitutes . Furthermore, they’re not just prostitutes . They’re divine prostitutes that connect people to God 」

Jii-chan said .

「 Entrusting your lives as prostitutes under Minaho-kun was, of course, a way to repay your debts and living expenses I pay for but at the same time, it’s also your training to become shrine maidens 」

Being a prostitute and selling their bodies to men is training?

「 A divine prostitute must be able to devote their bodies to those seeking salvation more than anything 」

「 W-We know that even if Kouzuki-sama doesn’t tell us 」

Takakura Yomiko refutes, but .

「 No, you don’t understand . Didn’t he just say it earlier? 」

What did I say again?

「 You have no attitude to serve . It’s an interesting expression . However, it means that you have no will to serve people 」

「 That’s 」

「 He met you just now; however, first impressions go a long way for prostitutes . You should be worried about your future 」

Jii-chan’s harsh .

「 However, we’ll do it! We can! We’ll show that we can become prostitutes! We’ll become shrine maidens by all means! We will follow Mother’s legacy!

Even so, Takakura Yomiko doesn’t break .

「 It’s nice to see you assertive . However, those are just words 」

「 We will give you satisfactory results! 」

「 Then, show me the results by tomorrow 」

Jii-chan turns to me .

「 Thus, it’s your job . I’ll have them in your care for tonight and see through their aptitude as a prostitute 」

Me?

「 If they can’t do it with you then it’s impossible for them to become prostitutes 」

Even if you tell me that .

Still, I’ve got to do it .

「 Do you have any request for me? 」

Request?

「 I’m giving some unreasonable demands for you until tomorrow . Give out your conditions as well . I’ll accept it whatever that is 」

Minaho-neesan that the Takakura sister’s case will become insurance for Kuromori .

However, I don’t know what that insurance is currently .

Jii-chan and Minaho-neesan are keeping a couple of secrets from me .

Is it really okay to turn the sisters’ prostitutes? Should this fail?

I can’t see the common ground Jii-chan thinks about .

Therefore, I’ll have to do what I’m told with the best that I can . /

I’ve made my resolve though .

「 Can you drop one from the prostitute candidates at this stage? 」

I said .

「 She won’t sell after all 」

The Takakura sisters are startled .

They look at each other’s faces .

Then, Takakura Yomiko glared at me .

She thinks that I’m talking about her .

「 Luna-san is still 12, right? She can’t become a prostitute on our brothel 」

I replied .

「 Oh, why is it? 」

Jii-chan replied .

「 Well, even if we sell her, she won’t be making profit 」

「 There should be customers who like children of her age, isn’t there? She doesn’t look bad either 」

Jii-chan said .

「 No, we’re a high-class brothel 」

I replied .

「 Customers who have troublesome hobbies don’t pay that much 」

That was true during Shirasaka Sousuke’s era .

Men with abnormal hobbies are reluctant to pay up .

They’re vicious that they hurt the bodies of the prostitutes .

「 Indeed . We don’t need customers who are satisfied with compensated dating . It is as he says, Kuromori house is a high-class brothel . We won’t do business if we can’t earn at least a million per night 」

Minaho-neesan follows up .

In a sense, the 14-year-old Yomiko-san shouldn’t be okay either, although .

Yomiko-san is the representative of the Takakura sisters so she shouldn’t be taken out .

Besides, it feels like she’ll sell high too .

「 I see . Now that you mention the circumstances, I seem to have not considered your management side . I apologize 」

Jii-chan said .

「 So, what will you do? Should I take back Luna-kun with me? 」

「 P-Please wait! D-Do I(Boku) have to separate with my sisters?! I don’t want that! 」

The short-cut haired 12-year-old girl appeals to Jii-chan .

Oh, Luna-san is a “Boku girl . ”

「 No, that’s what I want to discuss 」

…I

「 Jii-chan, can you sell this girl to me? 」

「 To you? 」

「 Yes, she’s just perfect to Agnes 」

Agnes is 12-years-old as well .

She’s playing with Mao-chan and Mana for now, but .

She needs to have a friend of the same age, I think .

Agnes won’t just be playing but also study .

They can go to the same school together .

「 What do you think, Minaho-kun? 」

「 I don’t mind . In this matter, we will have to do an aptitude test with them, and if they yielded good results, then we will adopt them as our prostitutes . To make up for it, we would like to take her 」

Minaho-neesan said .

「 No, I will pay for the expenses . If you want Luna-kun, then I will have to sell her not to Kuromori house but to him, as his personal woman . 」

Jii-chan?

「 I don’t mind it if you buy her as a playing partner for your girl but, make sure to have sex with this one . I’ll sell her as a sex slave 」

Will that girl be my sex slave?

Oh right, that’s natural .

I need to show that we’re having sex for Agnes to open up her heart .

I mean, she can’t have friends unless they’re also sex slaves .

「 I understand, how much? 」

I’ll have to borrow money from Minaho-neesan again .


But, Agnes needs friends .

「 The same price with Ruriko will do . Transfer it to my bank later 」

Huh? 3000 yen?

We can hand it via cash, although .

Showing it to the Takakura sisters would be harsh .

「 Let me tell you beforehand, I sold Ruriko to him as well 」

Jii-chan talks to the confused sisters .

「 Yes, and I’m treated with proper care 」

Ruriko tells Luna .

「 Therefore, you don’t have anything to worry about 」

「 Hey, Hey wait! 」

Takakura Yomiko shouts .

「 Don’t make decisions on your own! Luna’s my little sister! 」

「 And what about it? 」

Jii-chan glares back .

「 Right now, you’re in my hands . Furthermore, you made that choice yourselves, haven’t you? 」

「 That’s true, but 」

「 I’ve decided to entrust you three to Kuromori house as I judged that becoming a prostitute is your best way to train to become shrine maidens . And that Kuromori house has decided that she cannot be used as a prostitute, so Luna-kun’s road on becoming a shrine maiden is closed down . I believe that you have no choice but to agree with it 」

「 In that case, we’ll find another place, we don’t want it here . That’s not it, the three of us will become prostitutes on a different location! 」

Takakura Yomiko says .

「 If you are dissatisfied with my decision then I’ll drop you off outside . The Yakuza will surely come and get you 」

「 That’s a problem! We! 」

「 What is your primary objective? 」

Jii-chan asks . \

「 Is it to become a shrine maiden? Or is it to not let the three of you get separated? 」

「 That’s 」

「 It’s to live together! 」

The oldest, Tsukiko-san answers instead of the hesitating Yomiko-san .

「 Becoming a shrine maiden is a higher priority 」

「 No! Yomiko-sama! 」

Tsukiko-san holds Yomiko-san’s hand .

「 If we stayed in Kyoto, we would’ve been separated . Isn’t that why we depended on Kouzuki-sama? 」

Perhaps, Tsukiko-san will be returned to her father, a big boss from Yakuza . Or maybe, she’ll be taken to those who want to have a blood relationship with a Yakuza .

Yomiko-san will be confined to Takakura shrine, even only by name .

As for Luna, I haven’t confirmed her father yet, but, if she’s a child of Yakuza, she’ll be placed there . If she’s a daughter of Takakura house, then she’ll be a spare shrine maiden . No, a lolicon Yakuza might rape her .

「 If we disobey Kouzuki-sama, there won’t be anyone in the world to help us 」

The eldest tells the second .

「 But, Luna would be sold! 」

「 She’ll be sold to Kuromori house . If you pass the aptitude test for prostitutes, then you’ll be working for Kuromori house . Think that you’ll be together most of the time . At least, until the training period is over 」

Jii-chan said .

「 Since Luna-kun’s bought, her living expenses and necessities, and of course, her school and protection will all be taken care of Kuromori house . I will add my support naturally . Isn’t that right? 」

「 Yeah, I’ll take the responsibility 」

I tell the frightened Luna-san .

「 Then that means that your worry about Luna-kun is gone 」

「 Yes, we’ll accept her as a child of Kuromori house 」

Jii-chan and Minaho-neesan say, but .

Takakura Yomiko doesn’t reply .

「 Onee-sama, I’ll go with them 」

「 Luna 」

「 After all, it’s impossible for me to become a shrine maiden . I don’t have Yomiko-oneesama’s power since I was born 」

「 Luna, Luna, Luna 」

「 Onee-sama! 」

The two hug each other .

Tsukiko-san’s looking confused from the sides .

I knew it, Tsukiko-san and Yomiko-san have a deep trench between them .

「 Then, that’s all . 」 It’s about time for me to go back, I’ll leave the rest to you 」

Jii-chan tells me and leaves his seat .

「 Seki-kun, stay for the security of the Takakura ladies . We mustn’t lower our guard tonight . Fujimiya-kun as well 」

「 Yes, Kakka, Reika, please send off Kakka 」

「 Yes, Onee-sama 」

Shou-neechan and Rei-chan start moving .

「 I expect good results by tomorrow 」

Jii-chan said . Takakura Yomiko .

「 I’ll definitely make them accept me! I won’t disappoint Kouzuki-sama! 」

She glared at Jii-chan and said while hugging her little sister .

◇ ◇ ◇

The door closed .

Jii-chan and Rei-chan left the room .

Together with Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san, they head to the entrance of the school building .

Now that Jii-chan leaves the school, the surrounding Kouzuki SS guards should withdraw as well .

We should return to the mansion as soon as possible .

Before the members of the Yakuza comes in .

「 Why are you unfazed? 」

As soon as Jii-chan’s gone, Takakura Yomiko asks me .

「 Unfazed by what? 」

I don’t get it .

「 Listen, I’ll start talking . Kouzuki-sama’s already gone home 」

What?

「 We demand comfortable rooms, meals, and a pleasant lifestyle from you . We want our privacy kept 」

What are you talking about?

「 You will also withdraw what you talked about with Kouzuki-sama earlier, you will not separate Luna from us . Okay? 」

Takakura Yomiko glares at me and said .

「 Huh? Why? 」

That’s all I can answer .

「 I, Takakura Yomiko is asking you this much and yet what’s with that attitude?! 」

No, what’s with your attitude?!

「 I will not allow any disobedience again! You hear?! 」

Hmmm .

「 Uhm, Yomiko-san . Could it be that 」

「 What? 」

「 Could it be that you’re an idiot? 」

I said . Yomiko-san’s face turned red .

「 Don’t joke with me! What’s with you?! 」

Oh, is this?

Is this what they call “getting red from anger?”

「 It’s impossible, Yomiko-sama 」

Tsukiko-san said from the side .

「 He’s the same as Kouzuki-sama, Yomiko-sama’s “Miko power” doesn’t go through him 」

Huh?

What are you girls talking about?

「 That is why Kouzuki-sama entrusted us to him 」

Yomiko-san

「 That’s not possible! It must be because Kouzuki-sama’s Qi still remains! 」

She glares at me .

「 It’s not possible for someone as young as him to have such power as Kouzuki-sama’s! 」

Err .

I look at Misuzu and Michi .

「 Could you girls explain what Yomiko-san’s talking about? 」

The two went to Kyoto yesterday .

They seem to know Yomiko-san beforehand .

Come to think of it, Misuzu said that she’s finding it hard to deal with Yomiko-san .

「 Danna-sama’s really amazing 」

Misuzu looks impressed .

「 Master, it’s wonderful 」

Michi too?

「 No, explain it to me first 」

「 When I talked with Yomiko-san, she only made me accept her selfish requests 」

Misuzu .

「 Yes, it wasn’t a proper conversation . Yomiko-san only talks about what she wants us to do . Then, it felt like we have to do it 」

Misuzu, what?

「 it’s only Grandfather who didn’t follow what Yomiko-san wants 」

Only Jii-chan?

「 Grandfather seemed to have gained skill from the late shrine maiden 」

A skill to not let the shrine maiden control him?

「 Danna-sama shouldn’t be able to, and yet, you’re talking to Yomiko-san unfazed 」

What does that mean?

「 Oh, you haven’t noticed it? Nei who’s usually too noisy is being quiet right now 」

Minaho-neesan tells me .

Now that she mentions it .

I look at Nei .

「 I-I’m going outside to breathe some fresh air . It feels dangerous here 」

Nei stands up, looking dark .

「 Ah, I’m going too Nei-oneechan 」

Mana stands up .

Oh, they’re shaking .

「 Shou-neechan, can you look after the two? 」

「 Sure 」

Shou-neechan takes the two to the corridor .

「 Haaaaa! Fresh air smells delicious!!! 」

I hear Nei shouting from the corridor .

「 It feels strange inside the room 」

That was Mana .

「 She seems to be using Qi as well 」1

Michi tells me as she looks at Yomiko-san .

「 Is that so? It’s my first time seeing someone this inconsiderate 」2

「 No, Master . I mean, Qi 」

Ah .

Yoshiko-san has some sort of power in her?

「 Perhaps, the real shrine maidens would be able to make anyone follow her will . However, it’s still incomplete 」

Is that what Jii-chan is talking about? That “Miko power?”

If they indeed have the “Miko power,” then they should be able to use it for arbitrating the Yakuza .

「 It seems like the power of shrine maiden is about conforming people to their will 」

Michi said .

1 . Qi wo Tsukau
2 . Kiwotsuku
