Torii-san’s family isn’t in nobility?

But…

I heard that only those who are nobility among nobility are allowed to have personal bodyguards in Misuzu’s school .

「 Torii house isn’t a family that will try to run over everyone else 」

Torii-san retorts .

「 Right . Torii-san’s family is indeed wealthy 」

One of the young ladies said .

I always hear the name “Torii electronics . ”

It’s a big company .

If I recall correctly, they have a somewhat long history as well .

And it’s an enterprise known abroad, not just in Japan .

「 However, we don’t call families who are wealthy a nobility 」

「 Indeed, furthermore, Torii-san’s family business started at Showa, and it was post-war, wasn’t it? 」

「 A fruit of the economic boom? 」

「 Torii electronics was established 50 years ago, right? It’s just recent 」

Oh .

Jii-chan mentioned the same thing on Yukino’s Shirasaka house .

True nobility doesn’t let owners of companies that started 50 years ago join them .

It doesn’t matter if their company has piled up multiple achievements and how rich they are .

「 If you want Torii-san’s family accepted, you need 50 more years 」

One of the young ladies says while showing a malicious smile .

「 You shouldn’t even be allowed to bring your bodyguard in school 」

「 Seriously, I detest people who don’t understand their position 」

Now I understand the reason why Torii-san’s the only one out of place .

And the reason why she couldn’t find herself a bodyguard in the country and hired one from outside instead .

She belongs to a family that doesn’t have the right to bring her a personal bodyguard .

Naturally, no bodyguard family served Torii house from generations before .

Other families won’t lend her a bodyguard either .


And bodyguards would refuse to work for them .

Other nobility will look at them coldly, after all .

「 I-I!!! 」

Torii-san, who is about to talk back in frustration, got stopped by Kanou-san’s hand .

「 Sure, Torii-san’s house isn’t qualified to have a personal bodyguard accompany her 」

Kanou-san tells the young ladies .

「 However, she, Torii Mariko-san, is qualified 」

She speaks with a serious look .

「 Mariko-san is Kanou Morinaga’s Granddaughter 」

Kanou?

「 Just like me 」

Kanou Sakurako-san and Torii Mariko-san are cousins?

「 Geez, you really are… . 」

Kanou-san sighed .

「 You have the blood of the head of Kanou house . Kanou house sent a wife to Torii house, one with lowly family status . That is a shame in the household . But, I don’t blame you, who were born as a result 」





「 W-What was that?! Are you mocking my mother! 」

Torii-san bites back at Kanou-san but…

「 Shut up! I belong to Kanou house! By all rights, you’re not allowed to speak to me directly! 」

Does that kind of status still exist in the modern age of Japan?

「 Your father seduced a woman of Kanou house, wanting power . And you will be used as a political marriage tool soon . Because they want to raise the status of Torii house 」

Kanou-san speaks harshly .

「 Your mother was nobility, and soon you will follow, knowing that, we allowed Mariko-san to behave as a daughter of nobility . We even let you have a bodyguard 」

In short, they know that she’s a “semi-nobility daughter . ”

「 Mariko-san isn’t a genuine noble! You should notice that already . If not, you’ll just embarrass me! You have my blood in you! 」

Torii-san bites her lips .

「 I-I don’t consider myself as Kanou-san’s relative! 」

「 But I do! The society does! Truth is truth . You can’t bend it! 」

Kanou-san speaks with hate .

「 That’s enough for you two 」

Misuzu intervenes .

「 Torii-san, Kanou-sama speaks harshly, but she’s worried about you 」

Misuzu looks at Kanou-san .

「 If not, then the young lady of Kanou head house will not visit this mansion 」

Huh?

「 Kanou-sama’s family rivals Kouzuki house in history . No, I believe that Kanou-sama’s house was established 300 years before Kouzuki house 」

Kanou house is older than Kouzuki house?

「 Therefore, I’m highly grateful that Kanou-sama took my invitation and came to this mansion for the party . But, the daughter of Kanou house not sitting together with everyone else is… 」

Kanou house has a high status . They have so much history .

Therefore, she was sitting alone in one table before the start of the lecture .

Jii-chan asked Kanou-san to sit on Misuzu’s table .

He concluded that she can’t join in with the other young ladies, and so he gave her preferential treatment .

「 Everyone, it’s in the past . Currently, Kanou house is far from reaching Kouzuki house’s prosperity 」

Kanou-san said and looked at Misuzu .

「 However, the pride as a nobility still remains 」

Indeed, since Kanou house has a high status among nobility…

Torii Mariko-san, who has Kanou house’s head as her Grandfather, is accepted as a nobility daughter .

「 I thought of coming personally to monitor Mariko-san so she won’t put shame on Kanou house . I’m genuinely sorry for the trouble she caused in Kouzuki house 」

This is a gathering of young ladies who have bodyguards in Misuzu’s school .

Torii-san is invited naturally .

And then, Torii-san who came to Kouzuki house may do something impolite, and so…

Kanou-san came here, worried .

If Torii-san wasn’t here, Kanou-san would’ve refused Misuzu’s invitation .

She has no interest in a party hosted by Kouzuki house…

「 And Mariko-san seriously said unpleasant lines, and her bodyguard was also an idiot! I’m incredibly embarrassed that I’d like to bury myself into a hole! 」

Kanou-san said .

「 Mariko-san, apologize to everyone, and we will take our leave! 」

She glared at Mariko-san .

「 I don’t want to! 」

Torii-san glared back .

「 I mean, I didn’t do anything wrong! 」

「 Mariko-san! 」

「 No means no! 」

Torii-san said flatly .

「 I also have my pride as the daughter of Torii house . I will not withdraw after my parents were turned to laughingstock! 」

I can understand what she’s trying to say .

Torii-san’s family, Torii electronics, is a first-class enterprise in Japan now .

She probably couldn’t agree with their idea of family standing .

「 Besides! What Kanou house?! Sure, they have pride in their past, but that was before I was born! Kanou house is nothing now! 」

「 Kanou house is… 」





「 Kanou-san’s father is only assigned as the honorary president or board director on a few societal organizations . He’s not a company manager, an important person in the government, nor a member of the Diet . Kanou house doesn’t bring anything new nowadays! You’re just barely living with your name as nobility from the past! 」

I see .

Kanou house is collapsing, only having their high social status remaining .

「 Even so! Kanou house isn’t just another noble family! We have history! 」

Kanou-san shouts .

「 Indeed, you do have history . If you were an ordinary noble house, then you’ll crumble down once you start sinking like Kurama-san’s family, but… 」

Torii-san looked at the Kurama sisters .

Kurama Misato looks down in embarrassment .

Arisu-san embraces her elder sister from behind .

「 But Kanou house which has a high social status won’t collapse that easy 」

Torii-san said . Kanou-san groaned .

「 That’s why other families assign members of Kanou house as honorary members since Kanou family doesn’t want to feel disgraced as a member of the nobility, showing that they still live in wealth 」

Torii-san grinned .

「 Mariko-san, are you serious about that? 」

Kanou-san talks back .

「 Torii house even lets Kanou-san’s family have some honorary position in our company! Don’t think that I’ll allow all this ridicule on my family! 」

I see .

Kanou house is only a family with nobility status, but they don’t have any money or social status .

On the other hand, Torii house has a lot of money from its company but not accepted as nobility .

I don’t know the reason why Torii-san’s parents married, but…

Most people think that it’s a political marriage for money and honor .

Therefore, everyone thinks that Torii-san will soon become another wife for a political marriage to a family that is about to fall to ruin .

And with that situation, the young ladies don’t keep Torii-san company .

And everyone is at a loss on how to deal with Kanou-san, who belongs to a family that has nothing but high nobility status .

I now also understand why Torii-san suddenly introduced herself to Jii-chan without warning .

It’s not that she can’t read the mood .

She has no care about nobility, social status, nor authority .

Therefore, she greets Jii-chan, the head of Kouzuki house, as someone equal to her .

「 Are you done, Kanou-sama? Torii-san? 」

Misuzu said .

「 It’s improper for relatives to insult each other 」

Kanou-san, who gushed out her screams before she knew it felt ashamed .

「 I-I’m very sorry for the fuss we made 」

She stands up and bows to Misuzu and the other young ladies 」

「 We will leave right away . Torii-san, let’s go 」

Kanou-san tells Torii-san, but…

Torii-san looks displeased .

Then .

「 Wait 」

Misuzu says calmly .

「 It’s much more discourteous if you leave after that situation 」

Kanou-san looks at Misuzu angrily .

「 Just as you have your pride as the daughter of Kanou house, I have my status as the daughter of Kouzuki house . If you two went home, it would develop as a problem between my Grandfather and Kanou-sama’s Grandfather 」

It’s hard to preserve the relationship between two families with high social standing .

「 If that happens, I don’t know how I should apologize to Grandfather . To tell you the truth, Sakurako-san… 」

Misuzu calls her by her first name .

「 I’m a year older than you, and so you call me your senior in school, however… 」

She stares at Kanou-san .

「 Even if your family has a higher status than others, you mustn’t forget to be considerate with other families . You look only at yourself, and never at others 」

I mean, it’s as expected from the lady of Kanou house, she hardly cares about the face of Kouzuki house or other families and just acts on impulse .

She’s like Torii-san in a sense .

The two of them are basically arrogant people .

「 I apologize 」

Kanou-san bows her head .

「 Stay until the end of the party . We will send you home by car later 」





Misuzu looks at Torii-san .

「 Torii-san, please sit down 」

「 Yes 」

Torii-san reluctantly agrees .

「 As expected of Misuzu-sama! 」

The young ladies are impressed .

「 As expected, Kouzuki house is of higher rank than Kanou house! 」

「 Shh! If she hears that, Kanou-sama will cry! 」

「 Oh my, you’re right 」

「 Torii-san is no match against Kouzuki-sama’s authority after all 」

「 They’re no match . Torii electronics against Kouzuki group 」

Family social standing, assets, and lineage, Kanou house nor Torii house, is no match against Kouzuki house even if they pile that up .

With that thought, nobody other than Misuzu can handle these cousins better than Misuzu .

「 Now then, I’m very sorry to keep you all waiting everyone 」

Misuzu said .

「 I’m also hungry now . Let’s eat 」

As soon as Misuzu said that .

Kouzuki SS maids take off the cover on the garden party catering meals .

They also bring cold drinks from the mansion .

They bring over warm and delicious meals from the side .

As expected .

There were some troubles after the toast, but…

They coped with it so they could serve the meals in their best state during the party .

They’re probably accustomed to serving parties Jii-chan hosts .

Parties where they have VIP from foreign countries, or guest of honor coming in late often happens .

At times like that, they consider bringing delicious food at perfect timings .

「 You two should eat 」

Misuzu smiled at Kanou-san and Torii-san .

「 I-I… 」

「 I also… 」

The two show a gloomy face .

「 Oh? Are you still trying to be rude? 」

Misuzu smiled and said .

「 Enjoying the party is a way of consideration for others . Naturally, speaking your thoughts for the meals are included 」

「 Yes, let’s go, Mariko-san 」

Kanou-san stands up and heads to the meals in the catering .

「 W-What? Just go by yourself, Kanou-san 」

Torii-san complained .

「 We need to show the other young ladies that we made peace after Misuzu-sama made arrangements . This is the gratitude for Misuzu-sama’s care 」

「 Haa . I get it, we cannot cause more troubles on Kouzuki-sama’s party any more than this 」

Torii-san stood up .

Shie-san, Kanou-san’s bodyguard, walks behind her like it’s natural .

Torii-san noticed that .

「 Haiji, let’s go 」

She calls Adelheid-san behind her, but…

Adelheid-san’s not moving .

「 Right, very well . I’ll end my contract with you by the end of the month 」

Adelheid-san looked at Torii-san in surprise .

「 There’s no other way . I cannot have you around me after embarrassing me that way 」

Adelheid-san looks down with a teary face .

Torii-san looks at Kurama-san…

「 If possible, I’ll take Kurama-san’s two bodyguards . Naturally, that means Torii house will pay the transfer fee to Kurama house . Your family needs every little bit of money, right? 」

Kurama Misato and Arisu don’t answer .

「 W-We…! 」

「 We!! 」

Anjou Mitama and Kinuka try to refuse Torii-san, but .

「 I’m not talking to you two 」

She’s showing that she’s negotiating with the Master .

「 Oh well . You have until the end of the party to think about it . I had to stay until the end, after all . I’d prefer not to go home without a bodyguard 」

That means she wants to hire Mitama-san and Kinuka-san and go home with them .

「 Well, it doesn’t have to be you two anyway 」

Torii-san leaves the table with Kanou-san .

「 Danna-sama 」

Misuzu calls me

I head to Misuzu along with the disguised Luna .

Ruriko and Shou-neechan come over .

Edie’s behind Michi .

On the other hand, Michi and Yomi are separated from us .

If Yomi and Luna are together, they’ll find out that Luna was the girl who fought Kyouko-san earlier .

Tendou Otome, the Kansai Yakuza spy, is still there .

Rei-chan and Margo-san are having a friendly chat with their fans .

Yoshiko-san’s keeping company of the young ladies of the Kouzuki group .

「 That was amazing, Misuzu 」

I said .

「 I’m worried that things might go sought, but you managed to settle them down 」

「 Well, only half of it, yes 」

Misuzu said .

Right, Tendou Otome might still have some tricks up her sleeve .

「 But, I was worried . I thought of various countermeasures with Michi and Yomi, and yet 」

For now, let’s put them to use .

「 We also brainstormed 」

Misuzu smiled .

「 Ruriko and I are in the frontlines of Kouzuki house’s battlefield 」

Right .

Misuzu and Ruriko will continue their lives as daughters of the nobility .

「 Just a bit more and you will take hold of the young ladies’ thoughts 」

Shou-neechan said .

「 For the bodyguards of the young ladies to accept the control of Kouzuki SS… 」

The bodyguards have to be with them for 24 hours a day .

And they’ll become aware of that house’s movements .

「 And another one 」

Edie smiled .

「 That’s why we will cause a disturbance for that 」

A disturbance?

Edie goes to Adelheid-san, who’s feeling depressed .

「 Hey! You! Yes, you 」

Adelheid-san looked up . Edie smiled .

「 Doesn’t look good for you, does it? Your life in Japan might be over already 」

Yeah, in this situation .

Torii-san will dismiss Adelheid-san, and no other family will hire her .

She failed on her exaggerated A-class license, her way of promoting herself .

「 But, do you have the skill? 」

「 My skill? 」

「 I’m asking if you’re useful 」

Edie said . Adelheid-san looks blankly .

「 Maybe not now . The party just started, but something will happen in 25 minutes 」

「 Something? 」

「 A sideshow for the party! 」

Edie said .
