Chapter 1259. Afterglow / No Permission!

「 Papa! Are you eating? The food is delicious! 」

Mao-chan comes to me.

Yeah, Kudou-papa’s fuss is over now.

I should sit somewhere and eat.

「 For real, all the food here is delicious! 」

Yukino and everyone looked at the table, then…

Francie asks Yukino.

「 Are you sure that they made all these? 」

「 Well yeah, I don’t help out at all, but these girls all can cook, clean, and do laundry 」

Yukino looked at Mana who’s cleaning up the glasses and plates and replied.

Yeah, she’s probably worrying if she should tell that Mana’s her little sister or not.

If Mana’s identity as Shirasaka Maika is exposed, then she would be recognized just like her, a daughter of the enemy of the society, Shirasaka Sousuke.

「 They’re filled with hard workers. I’m the only trash who doesn’t do anything in this place 」

In the end, she chose not to.

Yukino who speaks out of her emotions is being thoughtful.

「 Still, isn’t this place filled with cuties? The host over there is extremely beautiful 」

Francie speaks about Nei, who’s eating next to Margo-san.

「 I’m a little jealous. I’ve always wanted to be a girl like her since I was young 」

「 It’s all just her appearance, she’s quite the wicked woman inside 」

Nei did a lot on Yukino half a year ago after all.

「 Really? Then what about that girl? She’s also beautiful. Don’t you think so, Snatch? 」

Francie points at Mana.

「 No thanks Francie, I don’t make a move on high school girls. Nowadays, even the entertainment companies are quite fussy about compliance 」

Snatch the comedian said.

「 Even if a fangirl comes and stops me, I have to be real careful. When asked to take a photo, I try to get other comedians to join me so it’s not just a two-shot, or I take a photo with a background that identifies the location, like in front of the theater or TV station. If a fan jokingly posts “I went to a hotel with Snatch” with the photo, then it would be disastrous 」

「 Ah, people do blend in stories with their exaggeration. Some blabber about unnecessary things based on speculation and some spread it like it’s the truth 」

Francie nods.

「 True. That’s why I’m scared to talk to high school girls. 」

Snatch said, but…

「 She’s not in high school. She’s in middle school, second year, 14-years-old

Yukino tells them Mana’s age.

「 No way, that mature-looking girl? 」

Francie’s surprised.

「 I was sure that she’s older than Yukino 」

Snatch said.

「 No way, she’s two years younger! 」

Noticing that she’s the topic in Yukino’s conversation. Mana approached Yukino’s table.

「 Is it delicious? If you want something else then I’ll bring them 」

She smiled at Snatch and Francie.

Then.

「 I’m Kuromori Mana. Thank you for looking after Yukino-oneechan 」

She then speaks with a natural flow.

Not as Shirasaka Maika, but as Kuromori Mana, but she still thanked them for looking after Yukino, her sister.

「 Oh, Francie-san’s glass is empty, should I bring some drinks? 」

「 Oh, then maybe some wine? 」

「 Red or white? 」

「 Red 」

「 Okay, then please wait a moment 」

Mana leaves Yukino’s table.

「 My, she’s really cute 」

Francie seems to have taken a liking to Mana.

「 Yoshi-kun, this place is open 」

Megu calls me.

Megu’s with the martial artists’ table.

「 Phew, you’re the only man in this garden of women? 」

Monkey Mimi-san asks me with a slightly drunk-blushing face.

「 Ah, yes, for some reason 」

I replied vaguely.

「 If it’s all women here, shouldn’t there be at least a single male? It’s dangerous to have only women in the same place 」

Poron-san said, but…

「 This is also the house Margo and Edie live in. I don’t think anything dangerous will happen 」

Rodulfo Seiko-san said.

「 Oh, right, I guess they can fight back thieves or something similar. Onii-san can’t do anything weird either! 」

Monkey Mimi-san laughs.

No, well, I do a lot of stuff with the girls in this place every day, every night.

「 Still, Seiko-san and Haruko-chan’s quiet. They hardly talked since earlier 」

Mimi-san looked at Line Haruko who’s sitting next to Rodulfo Seiko-san.

「 S-Sorry 」

Haruko-san replied in a small voice.

「 This girl’s usually like this. She’s bad at dealing with parties with a lot of people 」

Rodulfo Seiko-san looked at her disciple and said.

「 If I recall, Haruko-chan is still 17, right? 」

Mimi-san asks.

「 Yes 」

「 Then, she’s still in high school 」

Apparently, the players in yesterday’s tournament didn’t know each other that well.

「 No. 」

「 Haruko’s not attending school 」

Rodulfo-san answers for her disciple.

「 Haruko’s father is a martial arts idiot. Furthermore, he’s the type that never learned martial arts at all but they know all kinds of weird stuff about it 」

「 Yeah, the most troublesome type 」

Poron-san said hatefully.

「 And so, he enrolled his daughter Haruko to a local wrestling gym, his dream was to have Haruko win an Olympic gold medal and then become a professional fighter 」

「 What, the plan was to make her a female version of Kurt Angle? 」

Mimi-san asks, Haruko-san;

「 No, Father wanted me to be the “Second coming of Jumbo” 」

「 Jumbo didn’t win any medals you know! 」

「 That’s why he told me to “Go take medals for Jumbo’s share” 」

「 What the hell, I don’t get it 」

Mimi-san’s dumbfounded.

「 Darling, do you get what they’re talking about? 」

Edie comes to my side and whispered.

「 No, I don’t get it. Who even is Jumbo? 」

「 There was an athlete in Japan named “Jumbo” 」

As usual, Edie who’s been here only for half a year knows more about Japan than me.

I already gave up on that part since she’s just a genius

「 Oh, so she’s told to become like that 」

「 Something like that. He was a great pro golfer 」

Oh, is see.

Still, why would you send someone to begin wrestling if you want them to become someone who’s playing golf?

That aside, do golf events even have medals?

「 Her father might be like that but Haruko’s quite talented, and so she was very active in amateur wrestling in Middle School. Then, she got a sports recommendation and went to a prestigious wrestling school 」

Haruko-san’s mentor, Rodulfo Seiko-san said, then Haruko-san looked down.

「 Haruko was too talented that within a month after entering the school, she put the advisor of the wrestling team to the hospital 」

「 Huh? Did he do something to get a payback? 」

Mimi-san asks Haruko-san.

「 No, it was just a regular training with the advisor 」

Haruko-san?

「 Unlike in middle school, the advisor in high-school was a man, so I thought that I could go all out and not hold back 」

「 I guess that’s going to send him to the hospital 」

Mimi-san speaks in an amazed tone.

「 Yes, his hip got broken and his body can’t coach in wrestling anymore 」

Then.

「 I get that 」

Grace Marinka, the pro wrestler suddenly speaks.

「 I had that experience too 」

I-I see.

「 Then, Haruko had a hard time staying in the place. The advisor was someone with a proven track record in coaching in the ring and is well-liked by the seniors 」

And that teacher was injured beyond recovery by a freshman that just arrived at school.

「 If she quit the wrestling team then she’d have to quit school too since I was admitted through sports recommendation. That was Haruko’s case 」

Rodulfo-san said, then she gently hugs the shoulder of her slightly depressed favorite disciple.

「 But if that happens, the dumb father would make a fuss, right? 」

「 Of course, if she quits wrestling then she won’t be able to compete in the Olympics, win a gold medal, and turn to a professional as he planned, so I heard that he rioted in the house and told Haruko some horrible lines, therefore; 」

Rodulfo-san smiled.

「 I picked her up. Haruko’s middle school wrestling coach was an acquaintance of mine, she approached me, and asked me “Why don’t you take care of this girl?” And so, I got permission from Haruko’s family that’s not her dad, her mom, and other relatives to take her out of the house and let her live in my gym. If she continues to live with her father, nothing good will come out 」

「 Haa, so she also had her hardship with her father 」

Mimi-san smiled gently to Line Haruko-san.

「 In the end, Haruko was out of the norm. I feel that ordinary coaches won’t be able to understand her capacity and develop her talent. You see, teachers in club activities and such is basically a system designed to teach normal kids. But, Haruko’s heart and body isn’t normal, she’s special 」

Rodulfo-san really appreciates Line Haruko-san’s talent.

「 In that regard, I’m a creative martial artist, so I’m free to do whatever I want, and I think that I can train Haruko to the fullest! I always tell Haruko to come at me with her hardest when we practice 」

Rodulfo Seiko-san can definitely fight Line Haruko even without the restrictions.

「 As expected, you have to go all out even in practice. Doesn’t that make you feel refreshed! 」

「 Seiko-san, thank you as always 」

Line Haruko bows to her master.

「 Don’t mind it. Besides, you get acquainted with Edie-chan and everyone this time. I think that Haruko can go all out and still have fun training with the people here, right? 」

「 I welcome it 」

Edie smiled.

「 Me too, I’m happy to have someone I can fight with my everything 」

Grace Marinka-san told Haruko-san.

「 It’s been boring so far 」

「 Hey, what do you mean by “so far” 」

Mimi-san retorts to Grace-san’s line.

「 Grace-chan, you left Dynamic Pro Wrestling to come here, didn’t you? 」

Poron-san asks her in panic.

「 Speaking of which, I’ve always wondered. I’m even surprised that the company allowed Grace-chan to participate in a martial arts tournament 」

Rodulfo-san said.

「 Right, I heard that place was a group of old men pro wrestlers gathering female members for pro wrestling, and also that the president is greedy with money, and treats women poorly 」

Mimi-san said.

「 Furthermore, wrestling is a nationwide event so Grace-chan can’t just leave the tour and go to Tokyo to participate in an unrelated martial arts event as an individual, they won’t give permission for that 」

「 I didn’t receive any permission 」

Grace-san said.

「 They told me that I’m not allowed to compete 」

「 Huh? Who told you that, Grace-chan? 」

Mimi-san asks calmly.

「 The president, of course, 」

「 Err, the president of Dynamic Pro Wrestling is the “Great Pirate King Zory Gaspar?” 」

Poron-san asks.

「 Yes, he has such a strong ring name but he’s actually weak. His real name is Tanaka Mitsuru. They say that the president was strong before, but he’s just as weak before. He’s too weak that he’s out of the question 」

Too weak?

「 He told me that I can’t participate in other martial arts tournaments, so I… 」

G-Grace-san?

「 So I took him down and entered the contest by myself 」

You beat the president up?

「 Just like this girl, a light twist and he’s already sent to the hospital 」

Grace-san looked at Line Haruko-san.

「 Huh? You mentioned earlier that “I also have an experience like that,” but… 」

「 That wasn’t in the long past? 」

Mimi-san and Poron-san asks.

「 It was just yesterday 」

Yesterday.

「 Yesterday, I defeated the president, and the managing director “Devil Bandit Shinigami Hiroshi” the accounting manager “Purgatory Ambassador, Taishi Kenji,” and the general headquarters manager “Werewolf African General” I also took down the team’s coach, “Space General Koukei the Second” Then, I left the training camp and went straight to the match 」

Grace-san said.

「 I only called the ambulance out of my warrior compassion. Even now, they’re still lined up together in the hospital, lying down 」

The former wrestlers are all in the hospital.

「 Isn’t that bad? I heard that Dynamic Pro Wrestling has Yakuza backing them! 」

Mimi-san said, but…

「 I don’t care about that. Anyway, my life there was boring. I’m not coming back to Dynamic Pro Wrestling anymore 」

Grace Marinka-san said with passion.

「 I’ve always had more power than normal since childhood. I wanted to use that power to beat someone up with my all. I want to slap, punch, and kick with all I can. But whenever I get serious, they all get injured 」

She’s also a beauty on the outside, but…

Her body’s tight and trained.

「 I thought that I could move my body as much as I want in pro wrestling. I thought that I could have someone to fight, but… 」

「 Oh yeah, Dynamic Pro Wrestling uses the boring angles after all 」

Mimi-san, angles?

「 They make their athletes act out saying “This guy’s going to win today,” then purposely have a quarrel in front of the viewers, creating a grudge, the people above come up with some ridiculous stories 」

「 I can’t act. I’m bad at acting. 」

Grace-san doesn’t look like someone who can do some acting after all.

「 Furthermore, they always tell me the next day, and even the day after that, whenever there’s a national match, to “don’t fight seriously.” “Fight carefully, don’t injure each other.” It’s really boring. It doesn’t fire me up 」

Grace-san said.

「 The martial arts tournament yesterday was interesting. It was fun 」

That’s…

「 Well, we’re not going to tell you to save up your power 」

「 Rather, we also want to fight with all our strength 」

Poron-san and Rodulfo-san smiled.

「 I don’t want to be there anymore. I don’t want pro wrestling anymore 」

「 I see, Dynamic Pro Wrestling didn’t suit you 」

Mimi-san said.

「 Be it Pirate King or whoever, they always cut corners. They don’t temper themselves and that’s why their bodies are fat. The rest of the management is also more like him 」

「 Someone who’s not active in the industry gathers female wrestlers and is bossy around them is a big problem 」

「 I don’t like the fact that they don’t get any male wrestlers, I guess they think that they could fool the women, but… 」

Rodulfo Seiko-san and Poron-san said.

「 But, what will you do from now on, Grace-chan? 」

「 Yeah, where are you going to stay? 」

「 Do you have a place to stay tonight? 」

They ask Grace-san.

「 I haven’t decided yet. I’ll probably stay over at some manga cafe tonight 」

That’s not good.

「 Grace-san, where’s your home? 」

「 An island. It’s between Kagoshima and Okinawa, but my parent’s house is gone 」

「 Do you not have any family? 」

Line Haruko, who had been quiet so far, asks.

「 None, just me 」

Grace-san said.

「 Then, I guess you have no place to go? 」

「 And no parent’s home either 」

「 But, you don’t want to go back to the Dynamic Pro Wrestling place, right? 」

Rodulfo-san, Haruko-san, and Poron-san.

「 But, they might not let you leave. The Yakuza connected to the Dynamic Pro Wrestling might try to get you back forcibly 」

Mimi-san said.

「 Right, Grace-san, they expect you to make them a lot of money as a wrestler, so the Yakuza won’t let you go that easy 」

「 Yeah, this is a problem 」

「 You stood out in yesterday’s tournament so Grace-chan gained some fans 」

Then.

「 Darling, do something about Grace 」

Edie told me.

「 M-Me? 」

「 Yes, Darling can definitely resolve it all 」

Edie smiled.

Err.

I look at Grace-san once again.

She’s not in our family so we can’t let her stay in the mansion.

If that’s the case.

「 Megu, shall we have Grace-san stay in our home for tonight? 」

The house near the mansion is the setting where Megu and I stay over.

That’s where Megu’s friends from the club and my classmates come over sometimes so it has the daily necessities ready.

It also has a bed, and it also has water in the bathroom.

Grace-san can stay over there.

「 Isn’t that okay, Megu? 」

「 Yes, I don’t mind 」

Megu gave her permission.

「 As for Dynamic Pro Wrestling, leaving them is not a problem, but as for being a target of the Yakuza… 」

I should ask for Minaho-neesan’s help.

We’re talking about the people on the other side after all.

No, instead of Minaho-neesan…

「 Kudou-san, is he still in the mansion? 」

I…
