Chapter 1466
You sure are considerate nyan
Izumi said. I
No. Thats not the case
Izumi and Miki-san looked at me.
Im only doing this because I want to. I want to satisfy myself, and its not what Izumi thinks
Im just a high-school student, and yet
Using the Black Forest, Kouzuki SS, or the Miko power.
Im entrusted with power that ordinary students cannot possess.
Yes, Im entrusted with power.
That power isnt mine.
Therefore, I cant use that power as I please.
I must decide how far I can go.
I just want to do it for myself. I also want to be worthy of my family members. Therefore, whatever it is, no matter how much work it takes, I want to see it through with my eyes and I want to be responsible for it
Thats why I go to the front and do not leave it to others.
Its just my selfish thoughts, not because I want to look after you
I said. The van turned quiet.
The one to break the silence is
Darling, are you hungry?
Edie.
You still havent eaten Ais bread?
Right, Ai gave me an experimental pastry when we were leaving.
I havent eaten yet since I was busy infiltrating Miki-sans middle school.
Speaking of which, I havent eaten yet.
Yukino ate all the sandwiches prepared for me earlier this breakfast.
Now that one of the problems is finished, I find myself hungry.
Lets eat together, Kinos.h.i.+ta-san park the car somewhere
Got it
Kinos.h.i.+ta-san pulled up to the bank of the river road and parked the van.
Lets eat breakfast. Which would you eat, Yo-chan?
Nei opens Ais bag.
There are various baked goods in it.
Lets see, split it two per head
I counted the pastries and divided it by the number of people in the van.,
Eh, dont mind us. We ate our breakfast, Yo-chan can eat three or four
Nei said, but
No, Ai said that everyone should eat so two per head split will do
I looked at the drivers seat.
Which do you like to get Kinos.h.i.+ta-san? You can pick first
I should prioritize age at times like this
Kinos.h.i.+ta-san looks young enough that you can call her a high-school girl but shes an adult already.
Right, Ill take the pie over there and the cream bun in the front
What about Tsukiko?
Ill take this and this
Ya-chan?
Ill pick one after Yo-chan
Just pick first
Then, Ill take this and this
Edie?
Ill take this and this one
When going with the age Order, Izumis in her first year in high school, Miki-san is in her third year in middle school, and Kurose Anju is the same age as Miki-san despite graduating from Switzerland already.
But
Miki-san, pick one
Ill give priority to Miki-san whos not my woman yet.
Then, Ill take this and this
Next.
Anju, pick
O-Okay
Kurose Anju, whos watching out of the car, takes the bread.
Then, Ill take this and this
The remaining pastries are two red-bean paste bread, one pie, and one chocolate croissant.
Izumi, pick one
Eh, but Im a pet, so Ill take the leftovers
There are still four remaining, so you should pick two
Is that so? Then Ill take this and this nyan
Izumi picked the pie and chocolate croissant.
And so, the ones Im left with are the red-bean paste bread.
Then.
Izumi-chan, thats not it
Are you an idiot?
Nei and Edie scolded Izumi.
You dont usually leave the two red-bean paste bread like that
Miki-san looked at Izumi with a fed-up face.
Gyahaha, Izumi-chans so funny
Kinos.h.i.+ta-san laughed.
No, uhm, but I dont like red-bean paste
Izumi speaks with a small voice.
Drop it, Yo-chan, Ill take the red-bean paste bread
Nei took one.
Ill distribute tea
Meanwhile, Tsukiko poured tea from the bottle into the paper cups and distributed it to everyone.
Then, lets eat
Thanks for the meal
Kinos.h.i.+ta-san speaks brightly, and then we ate food in the van
Still, this is delicious
Ai-chans getting better at baking
Shes talented
Kinos.h.i.+ta-san, Nei, and Edie said.
I had some yesterday too. This isnt pastry that a high-schooler would make
I think so too nyan
Miki-san and Izumi ate our pastry yesterday at the school festival.
The bread is great, and the food in the Kuromori mansion is also delicious and so happy, dont you think so too, Anju-chan?
Kinos.h.i.+ta-san told Kurose Anju.
Yes. I think so too
I knew it, the best place to work is somewhere with good food
Kinos.h.i.+ta-san smiles brightly, and Kurose Anju looks gloomy.
Whats wrong?
I asked Kurose Anju.
No, uhm, how do I say itI wonder if its the right thing to do, I just found myself as Kuromori-samas bodyguard
I took Kurose Anju from Is.h.i.+gami Mizuki just the other day.
Its okay. We all like Anju-chan
Anju has all the qualities of a good bodyguard when trained well
Nei and Edie are going to America with Margo-san soon.
They want to train Kurose Anju to be my bodyguard by then.
Thats right, Anju-chans earnest and cute, and youre one of the best candidates as Boss bodyguard
Kinos.h.i.+ta-san looks at me.
I feel that Kurose Anjus worried about something else.
Last night, I asked Misuzu. Were meeting up with the Is.h.i.+gami house soon enough
I feel like Kurose Anjus worried that her contract with the Is.h.i.+gami house is still intact
Shes got that personality after all.
Mentioning the Is.h.i.+gami house made Kurose Anju look at me.
Ill talk with the Is.h.i.+gami house. You dont have to worry about it now
Yes, thank you
Either way, this is going to be a conversation between two n.o.ble families so you dont have to worry about it
The Is.h.i.+gami siblings were tricked to cause trouble for me, whos related to the Kouzuki house.
Thats why I had Is.h.i.+gami Norio and Mizuki experience physical humiliation as punishment.
I took Kurose Anju from them too.
Whatever deal we come up with is a problem for the Kouzuki house and Is.h.i.+gami house, not Kurose Anjus.
However.
Kurose Anju looks worried about something.
Or perhaps youre dissatisfied with us?
I asked her directly.
No, I feel honored that someone like me would serve someone involved with the Kouzuki house, which is a great n.o.ble family. Even allowing myself to enter Kouzuki SS
Kurose Anjus born into a family that has a bodyguard of the n.o.bility.
But the family they served for generations have have been lost in her parents generation.
So, she ended up serving as Is.h.i.+gami Mizukis bodyguard, who happened to have no bodyguard.
However, Kurose Anju wasnt treated that well by the Is.h.i.+gami house.
So, I decided to take Kurose Anju because I thought that her talents and abilities would go to waste if I dont.
Kouzuki house is at the top among the n.o.bility, so serving me as her bodyguard is much more prestigious than the Is.h.i.+gami house.
Kurose Anju wont find it a bad deal.
Right. The food is great, the tasks are fun, and the pay is amazing. You wont find a place better than this
Kinos.h.i.+ta-san said.
I came to my senses.
Oh right, we havent talked about Kurose Anjus pay
I dont even know Edie or Mitamas salary at all.
As for your paycheck, youll get what you need
I said.
Kurose Anju was a bodyguard of the Is.h.i.+gami house, which had strict conditions.
I have a gut feeling that she has a reason why she needs to make money.
Thats why I have to pay no matter how much Kurose Anju needs, its not about the salary.
I have a Mother and two brothers
Kurose Anju speaks with a small voice.
Okay. Living and school expenses. If you want, I can also cover your Moms job and housing
I
I also need to check on Kurose Anjus home environment.
Ive been busy for the past few days that it didnt come up to me.
Huh, Boss hasnt heard from Seki-san?
Kinos.h.i.+ta-san looked at me dumbfoundedly
Seki-san already has a full report on Anju-chan. Oh right, Seki-san was also busy yesterday and the day before that, I guess she hasnt pa.s.sed it on yet
No, Shou-neechan
Shes waiting for me to ask about Kurose Anju.
She has everything arranged ahead of time, and she makes sure that there are no issues, furthermore;
Im the owner of Kouzuki SS
I took my phone out and called Shou-neechan.
Yes. This is Seki
Shou-neechan answered the call instantly
About Kurose Anjus salary
Okay, Ill arrange them and report back
I hear a gentle voice from the other side of the line.
I
Love you, Shou-neechan
Me too, it was amazing last night
I had s.e.x with Shou-neechan last night
Me too, it felt amazing
Great. Ill handle the rest
Yes, thanks
My schedule is still full today, good luck
Thanks, take care, Shou-neechan
You too. Ill be excusing myself now
Later, Shou-neechan
I ended the call.
So, Anju-chan, Seki-sans going to handle your case personally
Kinos.h.i.+ta-san smiles.
You dont have to worry about it anymore then, Anju-chan
Right, Kurose Anju shouldnt worry anymore.
Shou-neechans a perfectionist in her work.
If you have worries, then you can contact your family later when we returned to the mansion
I told Kurose Anju
You can also ask Seki-san for the details about your family
Nei said.
By the way, you cant tell your family about us. I think that Anju-chans family phone has someone from the Is.h.i.+gami house listening
I think Neis right about that.
I dont think that the Is.h.i.+gami house would be honest enough to admit their faults and apologize. Theyll try to find something to blame us for when we meet them. And thats why theyd use you or your family for that
Thats the reason why
Shou-neechans sending protection to Kurose Anjus family.
To keep them safe from the Is.h.i.+gami house.
But, dont worry, no matter what the Is.h.i.+gami house does, theyre no match against Kouzuki SS
Let Shou take care of it. Shes amazing you know
Edie also added.
I understand, Ill leave it to her
Kurose Anju said.
I also need to make my resolve now
Just like Miki-san and Izumi.
She cant run away now that I found her.
Thats right, give up the struggle. Join me
Kinos.h.i.+ta-sans voice echoes in the van.
Still, even after two pastries, Im still hungry. What about you Boss?
Kinos.h.i.+ta-san seems to be a big eater.
I
I think I also want to eat something.
Should we return to the mansion right away?
Kinos.h.i.+ta-san asks
Yo-chan wont get enough rest, if we go back to the mansion now, there will be a lot of hard work for Yo-chan
Nei objects.
We cant go to any shops with this group either.
Edie looked at everyone in the van and smiled.
Its Monday Today.
Furthermore, its already past 8.
Putting aside Kinos.h.i.+ta-san, Tsukiko, Nei, and Edie wearing work gear
Im in my school uniform, Izumis in her sailor uniform, Miki-sans wearing her middle-school uniform, and Kurose Anjus wearing a jersey.
We cant go to 24/7 family restaurants or fast food.
If so, lets go to Minaho-oneechans place
Nei suggested.
Minaho-neesan stayed over at the hotel in front of the station, the current Black Forest facility.
Either way, were going to meet up with Minaho-neechan later
This afternoon, were going with Minaho-neesan to take away the talent Agency
Right. Lets not have Minaho-neesan go back to the mansion to join us
Im the one who asked Minaho-neesan to come with us to the talent agency.
We should be the ones to join up with her.
Wait, Ill contact her
Nei took out her phone and called Minaho-neesan.
