★Kansai Yakuza spy

Tendou Otome / 17 y/o/ She infiltrated as a bodyguard of the granddaughter of Mizushima holdings’ president .

「 Do you know why you failed? 」

Edie asks Adelheid-san .

Ah, Edie’s now closer to us, and so…

Michi and Yomi are moving to distance themselves from us now .

Yeah, Yomi will be checking on the other young ladies and their bodyguards .

Tendou Otome-san, the Kansai Yakuza spy, is on the table far from us .

She’s talking to her Master, the young lady speaking for her .

They’re probably planning on doing something .

「 That’s because Seki-sama from Kouzuki SS hindered me 」

Adelheid-san glared at Edie and replied .

「 Yes, you called? 」

Shou-neechan turns around .

「 Hmm, not really 」

Edie says, smiling wryly .

「 B-But… 」

Adelheid-san seems unconvinced .

「 Then, let’s change the question . Your former master called out to the sisters over there after saying dismissing you 」

Sisters . She means the Anjou sisters .

Anjou sisters looked at Edie and Adelheid-san .

No, their Masters, the Kurama sisters . Kanou-san and Shie-san as well .

Torii-san’s the only one who’s on the catering side and is biting on a sandwich .

However, nobody comes close to her . I guess the young ladies avoid her .

「 Then, why do you think it was them? 」

Edie smiled at Adelheid-san .

「 Mariko-ojousama needs a new bodyguard to replace me 」

Adelheid-san speaks in frustration .

「 That’s all? 」

「 What else do I know?! 」

Adelheid-san is angry .

「 You derived your conclusion with yourself at the center . And since you evaluate yourself highly, it’s natural you think that way 」

「 What are you trying to say!? I’m a first-class bodyguard! 」

Adelheid-san said . Edie laughed .


「 I thought so too . Maybe you’re telling the truth . You might be strong 」

「 I get it . If you’re going that far, then let’s fight! 」

Adelheid-san takes a stance .

「 Too early . Everyone just started eating . The sideshow is for later 」

「 Don’t call my strength a sideshow! 」

As soon as she said that, Edie released a strong Qi .





「 Ugu! 」

Adelheid-san’s unable to move after applying Qi on her .

「 Listen to what I’m saying 」

Adelheid-san glared at Edie .

「 Sure, you might be strong . At least, you think that you have the skill…However 」

On the other hand, Edie speaks with an unbreaking smile .

「 Nobody knows that . You can evaluate yourself as strong as much as you want, but others will only react, “Huh? What do you mean?” 」

「 I’m an A-rank graduate of the academy! 」

Adelheid-san objects . Still unable to move .

「 And that’s why the reaction is “Huh? What’s that?” 」

Edie laughed .

「 Japan is a country that focuses on achievements more . You can graduate from all the well-known academy, but if you’re lacking in actual experience, then they’ll treat you as a beginner 」

Shou-neechan said .

「 What’s necessary is the years you worked on-site, and if possible, good results . I had an S-rank from the academy, but they evaluate me by my work as Kakka’s bodyguard than the license . He’s one of the VIP of this country, and all the people he meets are leaders inside and outside of the political and business circles . My evaluation depends on how I take control of the locations where Kakka is present 」

Jii-chan’s personal bodyguard is Ootoku-san and Choumoto-san, but…

Those two are muscle bodyguards .

It’s Shou-neechan and chief Yazawa dealing with the whole division of bodyguards and all the coordination with the people Jii-chan meets .

Drafting plans for bodyguards, setting personnel, managing them, discussing how to deal with other parties, and if the guest of honor is from a foreign country, they need to learn to be proficient in that language .

「 To me, the S-rank license is only a decoration among my skills . 」 It’s more-or-less useful when dealing with people in the West . I didn’t get the job only because of the S-rank license . 」

Shou-neechan looked at me .

「 It’s both a good and bad thing about Japan prioritizing experience at work . For example, in the West, if they want an artist, they’ll look for art school graduates . The difference between professional and amateur is the education they received . And so, artists in the West have the art school they graduated from written in their profile . They wouldn’t accept you as an artist if you didn’t graduate . No matter how interesting is the work of a person who hasn’t graduated is, they’ll see it as an amateur work, and so they’ll never accept it as art 」

I see .

「 But, in Japan, lots of artists aren’t even graduates, see? Well, some cliques belong to some art university, but the question of “what kind of art do they make” is much more important . Is it a good one? An interesting one? They seek that more than others . In Japan, lots of illustrators have high value even though they haven’t graduated from an art school, right? 」

I don’t know much about that, though .

「 However, the problem is that the social evaluation and money value of art here is low in this country . It’s the cause why amateurs evaluated with high talent is paid lowly . But, just like the modern art people claiming that one should concentrate on arts university origin, I don’t think that Japan should follow the West in their Art . If that happens, the artists who accepted professional education will be left to ask for the country’s funding . I think old men make that claim to make it easy for themselves 」

Shou-neechan said .

「 After all, well, Japanese people do love getting various licenses for anything, that you can’t work at some jobs without a license . But having only a license won’t do 」

She smiled at Adelheid-san .

「 You probably don’t understand my feelings after getting an A-rank license 」

Adelheid-san speaks with a gloomy tone .

「 Oh? But I do . I also enrolled at that academy . If I recall, you’re still 13 . And I know how difficult it is for a 13-year-old to get an A-3 license . You need quite a lot of skill to do that . You finished school by skipping grades, right? A high school graduate at age 13 . 」

Kouzuki SS already had examined the profile of the bodyguards of the young ladies that came here .

Shou-neechan’s the head of that . She knows all of it .

「 If you know that, then why did you devalue me earlier?! 」

Adelheid-san protests .

「 Children who cut herself into adult business gets kicked out . 」

Shou-neechan said .

「 Kouzuki SS is a bodyguard company specialized in Japan nobility . Reika and I, members of that company, are present . Yet, you think that we’ll let your unreasonable business go through? 」

Right .

Adelheid-san wasn’t just trying to promote herself, she was telling the other young ladies that she can introduce other A-rank license holders to them .

「 It was so rude and coarse that you don’t think of what the other side thinks . The young ladies were all having fun listening to what you had to say . Still, in reality, they won’t hire you nor show interest in the academy graduates you want to introduce them . This is Japan after all 」

「 What do you mean? 」

Adelheid-san asks with a serious face .

「 I have the skill . I can work flawlessly as a bodyguard . Also, the people I will introduce will have the academy license… 」

Adelheid-san looks at the bodyguards in the courtyard .

Most of them are following their Master closely, but .

Some eat together with their Master like they’re friends .

And some are away from their Masters, clinging to Rei-chan and Margo-san .

「 At least, I’m better than most of the bodyguards in this place 」

Adelheid-san said .

「 As I said, that’s your self-evaluation 」

Edie smiled wryly .





「 You have no achievements in this country . Those LADIES don’t know if the academy graduate is better or not 」

「 That’s right . The world doesn’t revolve around your standards 」

Edie and Shou-neechan tell her .

「 And that’s why you want me to fight you to show my skill? 」

Adelheid-san’s hand is sweating .

Oh, I see . This girl .

Torii-san is her first duty as a bodyguard as she just graduated from the academy .

She lacks experience .

「 It’s too late though 」

Edie said .

「 If you wanted to show off your skill, then you should’ve done something during Kyouko’s attack 」

Kyouko-san’s invasion earlier .

Edie and Michi participated in the battle . Yomi and Luna . Rei-chan and Margo-san .

Then, Anjou Mitama and Kinuka .

「 Torii-sama called them out because they tried to challenge Kyouko Messer 」

Shou-neechan said .

「 T-Their attack didn’t do anything! 」

That’s right . Anjou sisters’ Skylab Hurricane Mixer was a miss .

Kyouko-san grabbed Kinuka-san, who has a helmet on, and that was the end of it .

「 Really? It’s much better than freezing in place and unable to do anything, right? 」

Shou-neechan said .

「 I concluded that protecting Mariko-sama is the best thing I could do in that situation! If you talk about people who can’t move, then include all the other bodyguards too! 」

Adelheid-san objects .

「 It’s the same . You didn’t do anything as a result . The noble ladies know that you’re nothing different from the other bodyguards . No amount of appeal can change that 」

「 T-That’s… 」

「 Besides, hiring those girls is a significant advantage for Torii-sama . After all, they were the girls who jumped at Kyouko Messer with all these young ladies watching . Torii-sama will bring those girls to her, and whenever she meets someone, she can use that as a conversation starter . “These girls fought against Kyouko Messer . Well, they didn’t win, however . ufufufu” and something along those lines 」

「 That will become a topic among bodyguards? 」

Adelheid-san glared at Shou-neechan .

「 Oh? That’s a tale of heroism . That’s a good thing for bodyguards . It’s boring to bring a bodyguard who has no story to talk about 」

Shou-neechan’s right . The attention goes to Anjou sisters for fighting off Kyouko-san .

That is why Torii-san locked on them right away .

「 On the other hand . I can somehow understand now why you don’t evaluate your master highly compared to the other houses 」

Torii Mariko-san’s mother belonged to Kanou house, and so she’s accepted as a young lady, but…

Torii house isn’t evaluated that highly . They’re wealthy, however .

「 I know that . I have investigated Mariko-sama’s relationship with others 」

As expected of an A-rank license holder . Adelheid-san said with her chest puffed in pride .

「 And you came to Japan hired by that kind of Master 」

「 As a bodyguard . A professional A-rank bodyguard! 」

Adelheid-san appeals loudly .

「 But, that girl won’t hire you . Other girls never will 」

「 Why?! 」

「 They don’t like used goods . If she doesn’t accept you, others never will 」

「 I don’t understand! I’m different from Mariko-ojousama . Also, I’m only under a contract with Torii house, Torii house’s matters shouldn’t relate to me! 」

「 And that reasoning will not work in the adult’s world 」

Shou-neechan said .

「 And it’s not just in Japan . It applies to the West as well . Naturally, the West is fussy about who has connections to who . Not knowing that means you can’t cross over this world 」

「 I don’t understand! 」

Adelheid-san shows resentment .

「 Well, you’re just 13 and a fresh graduate of the academy, it can’t be helped . You didn’t have a Master as well 」

Shou-neechan said .

「 But, we can’t leave girls like you alone . If left alone, bad people will use someone like you as their sacrificial pawn for convenience 」

「 I’m not an idiot that evil people can use 」





「 We’re not worried about you . To tell the truth, if we leave you alone, someone will use you, and it’s troublesome, so we’ll get ahead of them 」

I see .

If at that time…

Edie didn’t call out to Adelheid-san, who got dismissed…

Adelheid-san will look for a new employer, and try to promote herself among the young ladies in the courtyard .

However, the young ladies in here will never hire Torii-san, a bodyguard that just got dismissed .

Furthermore, everyone in here has their personal bodyguard .

Adelheid-san will try to promote herself, asserting that she’s from Europe .

It becomes a trouble for other bodyguards .

And Tendou Otome will not let that go by .

No, it’s probably her ground to talk to Adelheid-san and say, “let’s find you an employer,” to pull on her side .

Therefore, they went and talked to her to beat her to the punch .

「 You smell trouble, but it can’t be helped 」

Edie sighed .

「 And in the end, what do you want me to do?! 」

Adelheid-san doesn’t break her challenging behavior .

「 Are you telling me to join Kouzuki SS? 」

Ah, Adelheid-san changed the force of argument .

She’s quick but troublesome .

After understanding that her skill will not get her reemployed by other families…

This time, she’s targeting Kouzuki SS>

「 You’re not suited in company work . You lack loyalty 」

Edie said .

Right .

If Adelheid-san joins Kouzuki SS…

She’ll only think of it as a stepping stool .

If she finds a better employer, she’ll resign right away .

She’ll only cause trouble to people, not even thinking of passing the baton .

It works in foreign countries, but not in Japan .

If Kouzuki SS were to hire her, it would hurt the trust in the company .

「 Rather than that, nobody will hire you without knowing your skill 」

Shou-neechan said .

「 I think you already know, but Misuzu-sama is the host for today’s party . Anything we’re to do needs Misuzu-sama’s approval 」

Shou-neechan looked at Misuzu .

Misuzu and Ruriko are discussing something .

「 The ladies of Kouzuki house will decide what happens to you ultimately . I can report to my superiors but, I have no right to say . Do you understand? 」

The problems of young ladies’ bodyguards is a delicate one .

The young ladies look at Adelheid-san doubtfully .

Shou-neechan can’t decide for herself whether she’s accepted or not .

「 As I said earlier, I’m a graduate of Academy, and I know the true worth of your A-3 license . But, it’s meaningless even if I do . You need to show your worth to the young ladies in here, and make them understand 」

「 Make them understand? 」

Adelheid-san repeats .

「 That’s right . It’s meaningless to make an appeal the young ladies won’t understand . Basically, you’re not showing your strength 」

Shou-neechan said .

「 You can have all the abilities you need as a bodyguard, but the young ladies don’t know martial arts . They might not even be interested 」

And that’s why, earlier, during the exhibition match .

Kyouko-san, Miss Cordelia, Rei-chan, and Margo-san…

They showed a battle filled with charm .

Furthermore, it’s a fight where they appealed their strength and skills to the young ladies .

And so the young ladies had fun watching, and after it was over, their evaluation of the four never went down .

Instead, it turned Rei-chan and Margo-san popular .

「 I finally understand what you’re trying to say 」

Adelheid-san understood .

She’s not an idiot . She’s just young .

She’ll understand once you explain it to her .

「 Then, who do I fight? 」

Adelheid-san looked at Shou-neechan .

「 Reika and I won’t do . Neither will Michi-san and Edie-san . It’s unreasonable for you to fight bodyguards that are involved with Kouzuki 」

「 If the bodyguards here understood that I’m stronger, what position will you give me? 」

No, look .

That’s not how it works .

She doesn’t get how the world works .

「 Hmm . You think you can win against Michi or me? 」

Edie smiled .

「 Well, if it’s against them, I will not lose 」

Adelheid-san looks at Yomi, who stands a bit further than Michi .

Hmm .

I guess Miko power was a misfire .

Well, Luna…

She’s still clinging behind me .

「 Those girls have a special skill . They just started in martial arts 」

Edie explained .

「 You jest . Nobody will understand my skill if I just overwhelm a beginner 」

Yeah, well .

I think that Adelheid-san will lose .

Kyouko-san’s speed is monstrous, and so she could deal with Yomi before she used her power, but .

She can take on Adelheid-san in an instant .

Then .

「 Would you like to have a fight with me? 」

Says Shie-san, Kanou-san’s bodyguard .

「 Sakurako-ojousama, please give me your approval 」

「 Shie, why would you? 」

Kanou-san’s surprised .

Shie-san looked at Shou-neechan .

「 Seki-sama, uhm, is Kouzuki SS taking part-time recruits? 」

Huh?

「 Shie, what are you talking about? 」

「 Sakurako-ojousama, I’m thinking of leaving school 」

「 What did you say?! 」

Shie-san .

「 If I drop out, then I can’t become Sakurako-ojousama’s bodyguard in school, but when you’re studying, I will be free . I can apply myself to work at Kouzuki SS meanwhile 」

She wants to work part-time in Kouzuki SS while Kanou-san is in school?

「 I can take the job of defending a VIP during the day . I don’t mind working as a subordinate in such places . Anyway, I would like to work along with others, wearing the same uniform in a post 」

Shie-san said .

「 Is Kanou house’s financial situation that unattractive? 」

Misuzu, who was talking to Ruriko, turned to Shie-san and asked .

「 N-No, that’s not the case . However, I would like to pay for my food 」

No, Shie-san is a bodyguard of Kanou house 24 hours a day .

Shouldn’t Kanou house shoulder for her necessities?

「 No, actually, I want to save up money 」

「 Shie? 」

Kanou-san’s surprised .

「 I would like to save up some funds for when Ojou-sama becomes independent of Kanou house 」

Kanou-san will leave her house?
