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 」


Somehow, they have a solid plan .

「 But, why does it have to be me?! 」

「 It’s you, Masuko, or Wakashimazu, just one of you guys! 」

「 Could you at least make the game 1 of ten? 」

「 Are you an idiot? You’d put me in danger if we do that 」

Err .

「 Anyway, someone has to be ready to get some bones broken! Get out already Fujimiya Reika!!! 」

Kazuma shouts .

However .

「 Okay~ 」

Huh? Edie’s out of the car before I knew it .

「 Hallo! 」

She smiles as she calls out to the Yakuza, then,

She’s flexing her legs .

「 W-Who are you!? 」

A blonde-haired, brown-skinned, blue-eyed high-school uniform wearing beauty .

Furthermore, Edie’s smile is as bright as the summer glow .

「 H-Hey, go somewhere else . It’s dangerous here 」

Then, Edie takes the same formal greeting pose as earlier .

「 Uhhh, Greetings! Greetings! 」

What?

「 Is there anyone who knows who I am? Graciously, I’m just a high-school girl . Edie-chan’s the name!!! 」

Uhm, Edie .

「 Edie-chan’s greeting you all with my head up high! 」

The Yakuza guys are dumbfounded .

「 Hey, you’ve mixed up the Yakuza greetings with Mito Komon 」

Kazuma said, looking astounded .

However, Edie shows calm .

「 Oops, I made a mistake . How do I say that? Ah “I apologize” 」

「 So, what are you? 」

「 I need not name myself for you bastards!!! 」

Edie points at the Yakuza while making a cool pose .

「 No, you just named yourself! 」

Ignoring Kazuma’s retort, Edie;

「 Now then, I have sad news for you all 」

Huh?

「 I’m just an American high school student, see? I’ve got nothing to do with her company at all 」

Edie’s not tied with Kouzuki SS,

If it’s Michi, she’s registered as Misuzu’s bodyguard, but,

Even if they have a close relationship with us, we’re not contracted with Kouzuki SS .

「 And so, if I beat you all up here, it won’t be related to her at all 」

Edie takes a deep breath and takes a stance .

「 I just don’t like you guys . I don’t like that face of yours . I don’t like your clothes and those sunglasses of yours . That’s why I’m going to beat you up . That’s the pretext 」

The Yakuza’s dumbfounded as the foreign girl picks a fight with them .

「 Oh my, it must be embarrassing for the Yakuza to be defeated by an exchange high school student coming from America, isn’t it? 」

Shou-neechan laughs .

「 There’s no tomorrow for you . For I will end you today 」

She grins .

「 D-Don’t fuck with us! We’ve got ten people here! We’ve got ten times the fighting power! There’s no way a woman like you could beat us up! 」

「 It’s okay . I usually on 3x but I’ll triple it and then quadruple it, and so now I’m at 24x power! 」

「 Don’t be ridiculous! 」

At that moment, Edie jumps out!

「 HAWOO!!! 」

Edie’s foot kicks on a vital point of the man called Sugiuchi .

「 B-Bitch!!! 」

The three men in black are all taken down before Kazuma could react .

All of it done in one hit .

Edie’s following Shou-neechan’s instructions .

「 HAWOOOOOO!! POWOOO!!!! 」

She got herself close to her opponent like flowing water .

「 That was Kudou style movements 」

Kudou Haruka bends herself forward from the back seat of the car .

「 Yeah, Michi’s training her quite a lot 」

Kudou style’s method is to ward off the enemy Qi .

The Yakuza can’t do anything about it .

「 W-What?! What?! Awawawawa 」

Kazuma looks around to find his subordinates taken down in an instant .

「 You’re the last one 」

「 W-Wait! 」

「 I won’t! 」

Edie jumps like the wind .

Her last move was an axe kick on Kazuma’s head .

「 Puhiiiiiiiiii!!!! 」

Kazuma fell on the ground as he raised a strange scream .

It took less than three minutes to take down ten people .

「 We can’t employ you unless you have this much strength 」

Shou-neechan tells Haruka inside the car .

「 Haruka-san, you were the champion in high school Karate, was it? Can you do that? Can you control the same number of people at the same duration as she did? 」

Haruka hangs her head .

「 We’re not done yet!! 」

At that moment, Edie pulls out a shuriken from her skirt, then,

She throws it behind us .

「 H-Hiiii!!!! 」

Looking back, there are still more men in black in the shadow of a car in the parking lot .

Edie’s thrown shuriken stabs in the concrete floor right next to the men in black’s step .

「 I knew it was strange when they kept shouting ten people! Ten people! 」

Edie runs through the side of our car .

「 HAWOOOOOO!!! 」

Zuka!

Baki!

Doka!

I can’t see behind the car, but I can hear Edie taken them all down .

Shou-neechan enters the car and speaks to me .

「 Naturally, I also know that there’s another team behind us . Michi-chan and Margo-san did too 」

She smiled at me .

Edie’s a girl who can read the atmosphere .

It’s as if she acted that she just noticed .

Although, she might’ve perceived them from the beginning .

「 Then, let’s leave as soon as possible . We don’t want to reveal our hand in here . I’ll leave this to Edie-chan 」

Shou-neechan said .

「 Do you know the word “power scouting”? 」

「 No, I don’t 」

「 It’s when you don’t know how strong the enemy is, so you force them to attack and see their strength and style 」

「 So that one just now? 」

「 Yes . They’re just threatening about calling a lawyer, writing rumors, or using journalists . They want to see how we react with those threats 」

They want to see?

From where?

「 Don’t look back . There’s a camera inside the car on the right side . The window’s a bit open, and the lens and microphone are popping out so I can see it right away 」

Shou-neechan said .

「 It’s okay . The inside of the car is a blind spot from that camera, and they can’t hear us with their mic either 」

In short, the Yakuza side is trying to investigate us .

「 Those who tried to pick a fight with Kouzuki SS are their camouflage . Their aim was us from the start 」

This is to make sure that it doesn’t look strange if someone tries to pick a fight as soon as we arrive .

「 The real deal is about to start, what the enemy wants to see is… 」

Right .

It’s Tsukiko, Yomiko, and Luna right now .

The Takakura sisters .

If the enemy is using Kiyomi-san’s Miko power,

Or maybe, it’s Kiyomi-san who’s the mastermind of this all .

The one that weighs their mind the most is…

How much power do the sisters have now?

We mustn’t let them know .

Therefore, Shou-neechan gave the three instruction to not come out of the car .

「 How about we break the camera they planted? 」

I asked Shou-neechan .

If we break the cameras, then the enemy won’t know what we’re doing .

At least, if they try to sneak a photo on us, Michi and Edie can detect their Qi .

「 No, it’s better if we show that we’re not aware of the camera . For now 」

I thought that it just started with Yakuza and Edie’s hand-to-hand combat, but,

Actually, information warfare still continues?

「 I’m done with all of them 」

Edie returns to the car smiling .
