Chapter 1380. School Festival Day 2 / Minnesotas Homeless

We went back to the mansion from the courtyard and then

Hey, Morning

Black, suit, black hat, red s.h.i.+rt, and a thin tie.

Kudou-papas eating toast ham and eggs for breakfast at the terrace.

Next to him is a white blonde stranger.

Shes wearing denim hotpants, a sleeveless black leather vest, and a headband with a fancy rose flower embroidery on her head.

Also, theres a large bird feather on the headband.

She looks like a foreigner with her flashy appearance, and her body is well built and quite beautiful.

Shes also eating breakfast together with Kudou-papa.

The girl a.s.sa.s.sins put on their guard at the appearance of a stranger.

Theyre no enemies. Anya, tell them to get in that room. Everyone else can have breakfast in the dining room. Edie, Rei-chan, and Yomi can stay

I gave my instructions

You heard Yos.h.i.+n.o.bu-kun, now get in

Yes, were having breakfast!

Margo-san and Nei took the initiative and let the members of the morning training get inside.

Anya also led the girl a.s.sa.s.sins inside.

Why are you eating outside?

I asked him straight away.

Well, its because you dont let anyone outside your family in so it cant be helped

Oh, so it doesnt stir up the girl a.s.sa.s.sins.

Kudou-papas Michis father so hes close to our family, but

Hes not part of the family.

We have many things in the Black Forest we havent told Kudou-papa.

Besides, hes got a newcomer this time.

I dont have any jobs at your school like I did yesterday

Kudou-papa says while he eats a piece of toast with melted b.u.t.ter on it.

Just as Minaho-neesan mentioned earlier, there wont be any events thatll put Kouzuki SS rebels in motion.

Im driving for your boss today so Im here this morning

Minaho-neesan?

Minaho-neesans been in this mansion this morning, but shes gonna head to the new brothel to pick up the prost.i.tute cadets.

Four of them, namely, Misato, Momoka, Setsuna, and Nozomi will help out at the bakery today.

Minaho-neesan gave permission for them to experience the school event.

I guess Minaho-neesan asked Kudou-papa to guard her since she has a lot to do today.

So, Kudou-san, who is this?

Rei-chan asks Kudou-papa.

Oh, shes my new hire. Well, I thought Id introduce her to you guys first

Kudou-papa belongs to the shadow crew of Kouzuki SS, and hes contracted with various freelancers.

Then that means shes also a freelancer?

Well, its usually the freelance who dress up suspiciously after all.

No, I hired her to my Kudou detective agency. That means that shes my employee and Im her boss

Thats right, hes my boss

The blonde foreign girl speaks in broken j.a.panese.

Still, it has that same style as Edie.

She could be acting it out, she might be able to speak j.a.panese just fine.

Yeah, Polly, introduce yourself. This boys the owner of the fearsome Kouzuki SS

Kudou-papa smiled wryly and urged the foreign woman.

Okay, nice to meet you. My names Polly. Pleased to meet you, pleased to meet you

She makes a pose with one hand thrust upwards while she smiles.

Oh, sorry. I showed Polly the video of Jirocho Sangokus.h.i.+ last night to help her learn j.a.panese

Err.

Polly-san, whats your full name?

Rei-chan asks.

Rei-chans a top elite of the Kouzuki SS, so shes looking not just at the bodyguards in j.a.pan, but also abroad.

Its Polly Hatter

Polly Hatter

Can you use magic?

Rei-chan asks with a smile.

Nononono, Im a Ninja, I dont use magic

Oh, Polly from Minnesota

Minnesota, Ninja.

Minnesotas where I was born. Their seas are beautiful. Minnesotas a great place, try going there

Err, its in America, right?

I know that Minnesotas one of the USAs states, but I dont know where its located.

Oh, Edie, who knows a lot is remaining silent and smiling.

Edie seems to know something.

But, shes smiling so she doesnt see Polly-san as a bad person.

Thats right. Minnesotas in the states. The USA! The USA! And Im a ninja from Minnesota. Do you understand?

Hmm.

I dont get it. What do you mean by Minnesota Ninja?

Do America even have Ninjas?

Oh good heavens! You dont know the history of Minnesota so its understandable, but Im still shocked

Oh, sorry

The history of Ninjas in Minnesota is old, theyve been around for 650 years

What?

Besides, ninjas born in Minnesota date back in John Maynard Keynes Era, which is also called Minnesotas warring states era

Even Minnesota had warring states?

When John Cage, the one they call the Oda n.o.bunaga of Minnesota, was defeated by John Carpenter, called the Akechi Mitsuhide of Minnesota, in the battle of John McEnroe, it was called the Honnoji incident in Minnesota?

Hmmmmm?

John Scatman, the Tokugawa Ieyasu of Minnesota, happened to be in town with John Elton, the Sakai of Minnesota. John Scatman brought only a small force with him, determined to escape the town, but at the time, a ninja from the town of John Ken Nuzzo, the Iga no Sato of Minnesota, saved John Scatman. Thats the oldest ninja record in Minnesota history

Err.

The leader of the Ninja at that time was John Shepherd, who later became known as the Hattori Hanzo of Minnesota. He would later undergo the Tommy John surgery, the gate he guarded stands as the John Shepherds gate, like Hanzomon, and its name is Minnesota Metro

Somethings weird.

The thirteenth generation of descendants of John Shepherd are John Kabila, John Travolta, and John Man Jirou, who were my Ninjutsu masters. Isnt that amazing? No really. Its amazing.

Oh, I get it.

Polly-sans just making it all up, right?

I said.

Who am I then?

Oh.

Youre Agrippina

Rei-chan said with a smile.

Thats right

Polly-san, not. Agrippina-san answered in flawless j.a.panese

Then.

You need to study a bit more, but that honesty of yours is cute

She smiled at me.

Its okay, we prefer the honest Darling

Edie replied.

What do you mean by that, Edie?

I asked.

Minnesotas got no sea. They have five great lakes, but

Oh, speaking of which, Agrippina-san mentioned that the seas are beautiful.

Also, Darling, what year did Columbus discover the New World?

If I recall, it was 1492

So theres no chance that Minnesota Ninjas had a history for 650 years. The natives werent Ninjas after all

Now that she mentioned it.

Also, Minnesotas got no subways. I mean, there arent that many cities in the world that have subways

Rei-chan told me.

Thats why Im telling you to study more

Agrippina-san laughs.

No, hes fine that way

Kudou-papa.

The most important thing for him now is whether youre an enemy or not, right?

Thats right. Theres no need for any unnecessary knowledge. Thatll only cloud Darlings judgment

He mightve decided that you were an enemy the moment you said that the ocean in Minnesota is beautiful. One lie can make you think that the other party is just bad at lying

Kudou-papas right.

One lie brings in doubt, and you stop believing and think that the other party is an enemy.

Speaking of which, he never doubted me

Agrippina-san looked at me.

Thats because he trusts you Kudou, right? You brought me so he didnt see me as a threat, right?

Trust me? You must be joking, out of that whole group of people, he asked the strongest to remain here

Rei-chan, a top elite of Kouzuki SS.

Edie, who learned skills from the a.s.sa.s.sination cult.

Yomi, who has the Miko power.

If he trusts me, then the three of them arent here

I wonder? If it were me Ill also keep Nikita Gorbachev-san here. Shes enough as a bodyguard

Nikita is Anyas codename in the criminal syndicate.

She wont do. You know her since youre an undercover agent. Thats why he picked these people instead

Theres that, but I also need someone to take care of the girl a.s.sa.s.sins so I had to pick between Anya and Edie.

Meaning, he left his three biggest defenses with him. He doesnt trust me at all. He tried to see what kind of person you are with his eyes

Darling certainly doesnt know enough about the world, but he looks straight at people, and tries to understand them through his skin

And, it seems that he sees you as a good person

Kudou-papa, Edie, and Rei-chan said.

Im a good person?

Thats right, Darling feels that youre joking with him, but he doesnt feel malice. Thats why he sees it as a joke, and hes not angry at you

You should know that Senseis scary when angry

Yomi who had been quiet all this time said.

People often play jokes with me. But, I can tell if their expressions or speech are filled with ill intent. Agrippina-san didnt have that

Oh, I see

Agrippina-sans got a confused look.

Darlings the one who makes decisions in our family. As for knowledge, wit, and strength, theyre handled by people who are good at it in the family. Darling can remain as he is

Oh, I finally get why hes not the boss and others are subordinates, youre structured like a family

Thats right

Edie said and looked at me.

Lets go, Darling, Im also getting hungry

She invites me to the dining room.

Yeah, lets do that. We need to hurry with our meals or we wont have time for the school festival. Then, Kudou-san, take care of Minaho-neesans security. Also, Agrippina-san, lets meet again

I greeted them.

Meet again?

Agrippina-san smiles.

Youre not an enemy today, but your work can get you on the other side someday

Can you hold back if that happens?

Nah, if that happens, sorry but youre doing down, so I send my regards in that meaning

I look at Agrippina-san straight in her eye and said.

Oh boy, you sure are upfront, I like it

Agrippina-san laughs.

Hey, just between you and me

Kudou-papa said.

I dont know much about your house, but you got the female talents from a professional entertainment group, right

Kudou-papa knows that Minaho-neesan took over the womens division of Death Star Productions.

Thats right, what about it?

You see, you should try to make a contract with Dai Grepher

Dai Grepher?

No, but that guy

Yeah, as you know, hes a hard lolicon. But, hes got a self-imposed rule that hell only watch from a distance and never touch them

Well, I get that, but

But, why make a contract with Dai Grepher?

Well, you know that talent agencies got some kind of violent group attached to them, right?

Kudou-papa said.

If you want to start working in the entertainment industry, then the fun guys will try out things on you. Let Dai Grepher deal with them before they could

So, making Dai Grepher deal with the hara.s.sers from other entertainment agencies before they could attack?

You dont need to pay him much, just promise him some preferential invitations to concerts of cute idols, or handshake tickets every month and thats enough to seal the deal

Its a cheap deal.

Okay, Ill tell Minaho-neesan. Thanks, Kudou-san

Sure

Kudou-papa resumed eating his breakfast toast.

Agrippina-san too

Oh, see you again boy

Excuse us then

I bow to the two of them. Rei-chan and Yomi bowed together with me.

Edie joined and the four of us entered the mansion.

Reika, who was she?

Edie asks while walking in the corridor.

Shes one of the best bodyguards. If Kyouko-sans a world-cla.s.s criminal, Julia Agrippinas the internationally renowned guru in security

Shes that famous?

So, why is she at our place?

Thats what I dont know

Edie and Rei-chan said.

Minaho-oneesama hired her

Yomi said.

I read her thoughts

Minaho-neesan hired Agrippina-san?

Oh, now I get why shes with Kudou-san

Rei-chan?

Both of them are Minaho-sans bodyguard today

Meaning, Minaho-neesan is in a situation where she has to hire her?

Is it going to be okay?

That makes me worry.

Ill contact Shou-oneesama after were done with breakfast, so it should be okay.

Rei-chan holds my shoulders.

Shou-neechan should be able to guard Minaho-neesan using the Kouzuki SS.

Thats right, let Minaho take care of herself, Darling still has things to do today.

Its the last day of the school festival today.

I have my job to bake pastry.

Also, with Kudou-san and Julia Agrippina guarding her, they can repel any enemy that comes along. Theyre out of this world in their skill

Rei-chan said.

Hurry up and eat

Katsuko-nee urged us as soon as we reached the dining room.

Wheres Minaho-neesan?

Just left, shes going to the garage now

I was late. Kudou-papa and Agrippina-san must be with her to the station.

Hurry, were busy today!

Katsuko-nees head is already filled with the school festival and the bakery.

Ai-chan and Mana-chan went to the bakery. Im going there too, Motoko-san can I leave the kitchen to you?

Yes, Kurumi and I will take care of this

Its Sunday, so theyre also having a day off from their school.

It saves us that we have Motoko here, as shes good at housework.

Here, Onii-sama, Edie-oneesama, Reika-oneesama

Ruriko brings us a plate of ham and eggs.

Thanks for the meal

I ate breakfast.

Agnes-chan will be in the bakery too. Ill stay here as well

Agnes and the girls will be making souvenir pastries to sell at the school festival from this mansion.

Im happy that I can help Onii-sama

Agnes and the daughters of n.o.bility arent allowed to go to the school festival since theres an unknown number of strangers there.

Especially Agnes, whos a half-foreign girl, stands out.

Thats why shes supporting from the mansion.

Kou-san. Can Markika-oneesama come over and watch?

Erica asks from the other table.

Were not from the n.o.bility, so

Erica goes to the same school as Ruriko and others, but shes a daughter of a large accounting and auditing firm and not a daughter of n.o.bility.

Marika, her sister is also taking a break from her school.

Sure, but, you need to bring someone to guard you

Im worried about Minaho-neesans case, so I told them.

Then.

Uhm, Kou-kun

Marika comes to my table.

Actually, my friend is coming over

Marikas friend? From the music school?

Yes, a dormmate of mine

Marika lives in the dorm of a music high school.

She wanted to see Kou-kun no matter what
