Chapter 727.
Shou-neechan’s leading with her usual American car, Rei-chan and Margo-san’s car follow and enters the passage to the hotel’s underground parking lot .
There’s no problem so far .
However .
「 Shou-neechan, I don’t see any guards at all 」
I see uniformed guards, but they seem to be employees of this hotel .
I don’t see any uniform from Kouzuki SS .
「 It’s okay, they’re here . They’re wearing civilian clothes though 」
Shou-neechan said .
「 I’m not Yamaoka-san . I won’t mobilize uniformed men and squeeze it to a single location without thinking 」
Oh, back when Yamaoka was the security director, the number of Kouzuki SS guards wearing uniform dispatched is abnormally high .
「 The other party this time is unfazed by the numbers game, see? 」
The other party is Kansai Yakuza .
「 If you try to compete with them in numbers then they’d use the same thing . They can invite members from their own group in their hometown or maybe borrow some men from the gangs close to them in Kanto . To them, honor is the most important . Especially, they’re making a deal with Kakka . They’ll surely take us on even if it costs them money 」
If Kouzuki SS sets up uniformed men around the hotel just like how Yamaoka would do it, then,
The Yakuza would use the same number for intimidation .
「 Once that happens, it’ll only bother the people around the hotel . Police would also intervene . This is why we decide to fight with quality, not quantity 」
It means those in Kouzuki SS wearing civilian clothes are;
They’re the top elites in charge of the illegal back-work
They all are incredibly skilled .
「 For example, in a place where you need ten people in uniform, just two in plain clothes would be enough . The cost goes up three times though 」
In short, they pay the top elites 15x compared to uniformed men .
「 The Yakuza gathering in the hotel has been causing trouble a couple of times, but we handle it before the hotel employees, or other customers become aware . And so, the Yakuza’s not coming out of the five floors I mentioned earlier . They’re not entering the lobby, restaurant, or the bar 」
So they’re successful in containing the Yakuza?
「 Oh, the underground parking lot is an exception . Some Yakuza’s job is to meet others up 」
Huh?
「 Not all of the bosses witnessing the deal are present yet 」
Then that means;
Our line of cars heads to the lowest floor of the underground parking lot . The third floor .
「 And, I knew it, they’re here 」
I see some Yakuza in black clothes on the other side of the windshield .
There’s ten of them, obstructing our path .
「 Stop 」
Shou-neechan tells the other cars by radio .
Our cars stopped .
「 As said earlier, the second car will be on stand-by . As for the third car, take care of the rear 」
『 Fujimiya, Roger that 』
『 Margo, loud and clear 』
Then, Shou-neechan opened the door from the driver’s seat and went out .
「 Hey, you’re in the way 」
The men in black grinned .
「 Which boss you follow, Oodori-san or Satake-san? 」
Then, one of the men in black;
「 Huh? Hold, I’m telling you to stop 」
He sticks out his hand and lowers his waist to sit down . He’s opening his right hand for us to see .
His age is about 30 years old . His hair is cut short, and he’s wearing sunglasses .
「 I already am 」
Shou-neechan replies in amazement .
「 Oh, that’s a quick response from you . This man in front of you is a poor man, and so I’d like to ask for your patience . I believe that this is our first time meeting, lady . This man before you hail from Osaka’s Kawachi-Kokubu station, Tondabayashi . My job is to follow the young boss, the eighth Unryuu Kaizan Mori head . Last name Kazama, first name Tooru . My trade is to recruit beginners . That is all I have to say if you have anything to ask then feel free to do so 」
What’s with that greeting?
「 That means that he’s Satake-san’s follower 」
Shou-neechan whispers to me in the car .
Then,
Then, Kazama takes the same waiting pose .
「 Thank you for your kind words . Forgive the late greetings . Before you, is a worker belonging to Kouzuki SS . Last name Seki, first name Shou . My job is to hire out the inexperienced . That is all, feel free to ask if you have questions 」
She greets back to the other party in a loud voice .
「 Thank you 」
「 Thank you 」
The two glare at each other .
「 Hmm, who would’ve thought that a lady from a security company knows how to make a formal Yakuza greeting 」
「 Naturally, I’m paid a lot more than you do 」
The two get up .
「 Hey now, aren’t you getting a low salary? If you want, we can hire you . You’re quite the beauty after all 」
Kazuma speaks in a condescending attitude . Shou-neechan;
「 Unfortunately but I know how much you earn . Don’t try to show off . Your cheap suit gives it away 」
「 What did you say? 」
「 You shouldn’t look down on Kouzuki SS’ ability to investigate people . You’re just a leader of a small group under Satake-san’s organization . Indeed, the word immature suits you 」
「 What the hell did you say bitch?! 」
Kazuma gets in a rage .
That means these ten people are Kazuma’s group .
「 And so, what do you need from us? 」
Shou-neechan smiles .
「 Oh, shut up . How about you hand over the ladies in the back of the second car?! 」
As expected, their aim is Tsukiko and the two .
「 Hmm, and what happens after that? 」
「 I-I don’t know about that . That’s for the higher-ups to decide what’s next 」
「 So, do you think we’ll obediently hand them over? 」
Kazuma .
「 We’ve got ten people here though? 」
「 What about it? 」
Shou-neechan’s complexion doesn’t change in the slightest .
「 Do you know who I am? 」
「 H-How would I know? 」
Ah, I know this situation .
Shou-neechan is Jii-chan’s full-time bodyguard, she’s always with him on public locations .
「 You know, I’m quite strong . That’s unfortunate that you don’t know . But, you should know about the driver on the car behind me 」
Rei-chan’s in the driver seat of the Takakura sisters’ car .
「 Aniki, that’s 」
「 That’s a big problem! 」
「 You’re saying that we’re to fear her? 」
「 It’s impossible to fight that one! 」
The men in black around Kazuma tells him .
「 I know . I get it . Shut up . You want me to say “Ugh, that’s Fujimiya Reika” loudly, don’t you? But you see, we’ve got this job, and so we have to do this! The higher-ups gave us this mission 」
Kazuma gets angry at them .
「 Oh, I see . In short, you guys are just a messenger 」
Shou-neechan said .
「 I see . Some want to stop the deal today for whatever reason they can get and so you’re causing trouble with us . That’s what your boss thinks 」
I see .
They’d pick a fight, get beaten up by Rei-chan, and then plan to say that they “were beaten up one-sidedly . ”
They don’t care about the reason .
Anyway, someone wants to mess things up and cancel the deal today .
「 The deal today shows that the members of Yakuza are accepting defeat to the Kouzuki house . I can understand why some can’t accept it . If so, they want to break the meeting today no matter how reckless it can be, am I wrong? 」
「 T-T-T-That’s not it! 」
Kazuma tries to deny it, but,
「 It’s okay . You don’t have to hide it, I already know . After all, it’s not just you 」
Shou-neechan smiles .
「 There’s a lot of similar events happening inside the hotel . Our people in Kouzuki SS are taking down people like you one after another . Well, it doesn’t look like everyone’s trying to crush down the meeting today though . After all, the people on the upper floors are stuck, and they’re feeling worked up 」
The Yakuza in the hotel are being impatient?
「 But, for some reason, the Yakuza who pick a fight with our people suffer from a sudden illness, like their stomach hurting, or suddenly falling, hitting their head on something and then fainting . We didn’t even do anything 」
The other party is the top elite of Kouzuki SS .
They won’t go as far as mingling with the Yakuza .
They have the strength to control their opponent before the fight commences .
In addition to that, the surrounding people don’t even notice .
「 And so, you want to end up the same? 」
Kazuma;
「 W-We all want to go back to Kansai right now! We don’t want to be locked in this place! That’s why we’re going take you down . I can’t agree with all of this, and so I’ll beat you up . That’s what I decided . What’s left is for us to do it . What about that? We’re going to beat you up, and we’ve got just cause! With that said, Suguichi, go! 」
Kazuma nominates one of the black men .
「 A-Aniki? Me?! 」
「 Did you not hear me? Go already! 」
「 No, but, that’s Fujimiya Reika though!? My bones will break if she hits me! 」
Rei-chan’s battle cane’s power is well known over the past four months .
「 I’ve seen it on TV . She pierced a car door with just one shot . It was featured on the 6 o’clock news . The program was “Fujimiya Reika vs . Mystery Russian girl” If she hits me on the wrong spot I’d surely die, you know!
Yeah, I’ve seen that too .
Anya’s an international criminal together with Kyouko Messer, and they’re not shown on promotional videos .
The show is mostly about Rei-chan’s skills .
「 It’s okay . I’ll be sure to pick up your bones when that happens . I’ll also look after your women . Now go! 」
「 Hey! Aniki! Just what was that last line?! 」
「 Nevermind that! Since you don’t want to go, Masuko, Wakashimazu, join him! 」
「 What, me?! 」
The men in black called trembles .
「 We can end this as long as one of you guys are hurt . That will be the end . That will be the deciding part . We can call an ambulance, police, and a lawyer . Hashimura-Aniki’s prepared all of it . While at it, we can make some rumors on the net . Media will surely take the bait if we tell them that Fujimiya Reika picked a fight with the Yakuza . I mean, they’ll surely bite that . The middle-class group journalist is all against violence . They’ll even write on their affiliate sites 」
