Chapter 1276. Crushing Negatives / Electric Soldier Drill and Anal

「 Oh? Kurumi and I are willing to give our everything to Kuromori-sama and yet, what is it that you’re dissatisfied about? 」

The combat young lady who insists on becoming my concubine, Kuromiya Motoko-san asks with a smile.

「 We can do housework too as we have shown yesterday 」

True, Kuromiya-san and her bodyguard, Mikuriya Kurumi-san showed their great cooking and housework skills yesterday.

「 Furthermore, we also have the strength to keep Kuromori-sama and your family safe with our spears 」

Kuromiya-san, wearing her training Hakama looks at the red spear she’s clutching with her hand.

「 Also, Neither Kurumi nor I are acquainted with men. We’re ready for Kuromori-sama to dye us however you want 」

「 Indeed 」

Mikuriya-san smiled at me, holding her spear as well.

I…

「 No, everything you say is on the surface 」

I look at the two in the eyes and said.

「 You girls say that you’ll become my concubine, but you have no intention of joining my family, do you? People like that can’t protect my family 」

Kuromiya-san;

「 Please don’t be so reserved. Please don’t hesitate to use our abilities and skills. Kurumi and I are superfluous with power 」

She speaks with composure.

I see. So she…

She’s a different type than Misuzu, Ruriko, Momoko-neechan, or Sakurako.

But still, she’s a young lady of the nobility.

She’s beautiful, confident, and skilled, but…

She doesn’t understand reality.

「 No, look, that abundance in the power of Kuromiya-san is the power I can’t trust 」

I said.

「 I can’t leave my previous family to Kuromiya-san 」

Kuromiya-san’s smile turned cloudy.

「 What do you mean by that? 」

I look at the women around me.

「 It meant exactly as I said. For example, for Michi and Edie, then it’s natural, I can rest easy knowing that Haiji, Kinuka, Mitama are also protecting the family. But, I don’t trust Kuromiya-san, and so I can’t let you take that job 」

I speak as clearly as I can.

「 Do you mean that we’re inferior to them? 」

Kuromiya-san’s gritting her teeth, pointing at Haiji and Kinuka.

「 I think that Kuromiya-san’s fighting ability is better, but you’re falling off on the important things 」

「 I’m asking you what we’re lacking that we’re not allowed to do it! 」

Then, Edie;

「 It’s because you girls are amateurs. That’s why you can’t be left to take care of the important things 」

She said with a smile.

「 Are you saying that we’re amateurs and you’re professionals? 」

Kuromiya-san looks sullen. Edie;

「 No, not in that sense. It’s not about professionalism, it’s a more fundamental problem, your heart 」

「 Ever Combat Ready 」

Michi speaks.

「 That’s how we spend our days thinking 」

Bracing oneself with the determination that one will be on the battlefield anytime, anywhere.

「 We also have that kind of resolve! 」

Kuromiya-san said, but…

「 Wrong, you just know what that phrase means. But, you don’t understand it 」

Edie replies while smiling.

「 After all, you haven’t had a proper loss yet 」

「 Well, it can’t be helped, Edie. They’re young ladies after all 」

Nei said and looked at Kuromiya-san.

「 Going back on topic, we can’t organize a match for Kuromiya-san. You might be able to find an opponent if you look for one, but it won’t be a proper match for the current Kuromiya-san at all 」

「 Even you’re telling me that we don’t have the power? 」

Kuromiya-san grips her spear.

「 To think that Kuromiya house’s spearmanship is underestimated this much, this is unpleasant 」

「 Neither Ya-chan, Michi, Edie, nor I were making fun of Kuromiya-san’s spear. It’s just that the ability to fight, and being able to use it properly are two different things 」

I said.

「 Do you know what engaging and disengaging means? 」

Edie asks Kuromiya-san.

「 If you’re a bodyguard, you don’t engage with the enemy. If it’s a game, then you have to engage your opponent 」

「 I know that much 」

Kuromiya-san said.

「 You don’t get it. You girls don’t know who to engage and who not to. You’ve been practicing on your own for so long that you’re stuck in your world 」

Kuromiya-san and Mikuriya-san.

Their training in their spear has always been with just the two of them.

They might have some teachers, but either way, it’s just the two of them in the same generation.

「 Uhm, I do not understand what you’re trying to convey. Kurumi, do you? 」

Kuromiya-san turned to her younger bodyguard.

「 No, I don’t either 」

Mikuriya-san replied honestly.

「 What about you girls, do you? 」

Edie said. Mitama, Kinuka, and Hiji nodded.

「 I know it too. These two probably can’t have a match that looks like a contest. Their head is only filled with thoughts that say “I’m so strong” 」

Michi’s sister. Kudou Haruka said.

「 I was like that before, but in my case, I didn’t have the strength to outperform others so I managed to get a match by fighting hard. If you’re an amateur, then they’ll forgive you as long as they see you sweat for your effort. But for professional matches, you can’t sweat or cry 」

「 Are you suggesting that we should reserve our power to make the match worthwhile to the audience? 」

Kuromiya-san asks Haruka.

「 Wow, that’s some confidence. But, that’s not what I meant. Edie’s right, it’s about how you engage. If you match with their wavelength, then the power difference won’t matter as it becomes a viewable match 」

Kudou Haruka replies.

「 On the other hand, we never go for a contest. No matter who it is, I use Kudou arts to not be in gear with the enemy 」

Michi, the little sister, said.

The essence of Kudou arts is to reflect all of the Qi their enemy releases.

「 I can finally understand why Kouzuki SS never hired me. I was too accustomed to karate contests. That’s why I always fight my enemy straight on 」

Kudou Haruka mutters.

「 However, Aneue, that’s the right way for sports artists. Rather, since the bodyguards don’t match with their enemies, their techniques aren’t accepted as it’s a cowardly attitude in competitive sports 」

「 Well, that’s true. That world is about fighting fair-and-square after all 」

To engage and disengage.

「 You girls aren’t on either. You’re half-hearted, you only think through your own convenience and nothing else 」

Edie told Kuromiya-san.

「 That’s why you can’t be relied on for security. You can’t go for a contest either. You’re no bodyguard, nor martial artist, just someone half-hearted 」

「 I don’t agree! 」

Kuromiya-san shouts.

「 What’s half-hearted about us?! 」

She turns her spear and takes a stance.

That move was disciplined and showed no hesitation.

I can tell Kuromiya-san’s strong, but…

「 Motoko-chan isn’t scary at all 」

Agnes from my side speaks.

「 You’re strong, but that’s all. You lack in scariness. Besides 」

Agnes?

「 Motoko-chan’s cooking last night was good, but it’s lacking 」

「 What’s lacking? 」

Surprised, Kuromiya-san lowers her spear and asks.

「 Hmm, peace of mind? 」

Agnes paused to think and spoke out.

「 Peace of mind? 」

「 Motoko-chan and Kurumi-chan are perhaps just as good as Mana-chan in cooking. You’re definitely better than Megumi-chan, but, your cooking doesn’t give the same peace as Mana-chan and Megumi-chan’s cooking 」

Agnes said.

「 Right. The food tastes good and it also has good presentation, but Kuromiya-san’s cooking doesn’t seem to consider the people eating it, it makes you feel that the cook is saying “Hey, isn’t our food great?” instead of the kind “Enjoy your meal.” It’s like you’re cold to the people eating your food. It looks too beautiful that it’s too hard to share a portion for each person 」

Nei said.

「 I can tell that you’ve been training in cooking as a bride at your home, but your cooking wasn’t designed to be eaten by others. You don’t cook for someone else. All we got was the feeling that Kuromiya-san wants to show off her cooking skills to Yo-chan 」

「 If it were Katsuko-chan, it would be delicious, and be much more kind 」

Agnes said.

「 Right. Last night, Katsuko-oneechan was out so Kuromiya-san didn’t get to eat Katsuko-oneechan’s cooking. But you’ll understand once you try it out 」

Right, Katsuko-nee didn’t help out in the prep-work for the party yesterday.

「 I don’t understand 」

Kuromiya-san looks down.

「 In cooking, all you have to do is make it delicious, isn’t it? 」

Then, she looks at her spear.

「 Even in martial arts, all you need is strength, as long as you’re strong, nothing else matters!! 」

Then.

「 Hmmm, I guess that’s a fair argument in a sense 」

A voice comes from the shade of the tree where there was no presence earlier.

「 But still, that’s a line that only the very best cooks or the strongest people in the world would say 」

This voice.

「 Meaning, you girls don’t have the right to say that as of this moment 」

A tall woman wearing a black pantsuit blended with the greenery was…

「 Wow! It’s Kyouko-chan desuno! 」

Agnes jumps to Kyouko-san happily.

Kyouko Messer, an international criminal who works around the whole world.

She’s also one of, if not the strongest female fighters in the world.

「 Oh, have you been doing well? Sorry about that, my intentions were to go back in time with Margo and Edie’s party last night but the girl I was supposed to fly me from Southeast Asia screwed up. We got into a bit of a firefight, blew up a fuel tank at the airport, stole a military vehicle while other security soldiers were still confused, and forced our way through the border checkpoint, and managed to escape to a neighboring country. Then we sued a different route to Japan, and so we just arrived this morning 」

Kyouko-san just told us a horror tale.

「 Hey! You girls come out too! 」

Kyouko-san turned back and called the others.

「 It’s been a while 」

Miss Cordelia, Kyouko-san’s partner, shows up wearing a white hat and white dress.

「 Have you been doing well, Edie? 」

She smiled at Edie.

Edie hid behind me right away.

「 Fortunately, yes 」

Miss Cordelia had a past where she tried to make Edie her lesbian pet.

Edie’s cautious of her.

「 Don’t hate me so much, geez, you’re so cute 」

Miss Cordelia smiles.

Behind Miss Cordelia are her twin pets with white hair, Eenie, and Meenie.

「 Hallo 」

「 Hi! 」

Oh, it’s really been a while since I saw them.

These two were supposed to be fluent in Japanese when we first met them, but…

At some point, they stopped doing that.

Hmm. Let’s not think too much about it.

「 The work Kouzuki old man asked me is almost finished so we went to Southeast Asia for a vacation 」

Kyouko-san’s contracted to destroy the Yakuza in Kansai.

Then, Miss Cordelia’s organization gained control in Osaka.

American underground organizations have advanced into Japan, but…

It’s much better than letting the Kansai Yakuza stay.

「 And so, we found some interesting girls over there so we picked them up 」

Kyouko-san said. Went to the thicket, and spoke some kind of language I don’t know.

Then.

Two girls tanned girls wearing yellow-dress came over.

Both of them seem like middle-schoolers.

Both of them were holding something that looks like a long spear.

Although, their spears…

The tip was strangely thick.

「 This girl’s Anna, and this one’s Dolly 」

Kyouko-san points at the girls and said, but…

「 Kyouko, you got it wrong. This one’s Dolly, and that one’s Anna 」

Miss Cordelia corrected her.

「 Oh, really? Sorry. Anyway, greet them. Say hello!

Kyouko-san ordered the tanned girls.

「 Hello, My name’s Dolly Lu Sixteen years old! 」

The first girl greeted with some awkward Japanese.

「 Good day! My name is Anna Lu. 14-years-old 」

Dolly Lu and Anna Lu.

「 Both of them are drill spear users from the ancient kingdom of Kabibinga 850 years ago 」

Kyouko-san points at the spears the foreign girls are holding.

「 Look, the tip of their drill looks like a drill, isn’t it? 」

Oh, so their spearheads are drills

「 Dolly, Anna 」

Kyouko-san gave instructions, then the two smiled and pushed a switch at hand.

Then.

Gyuuiiiinnn!!

The drill at the tip of their spears spins at a high speed.

If that comes in contact with a human body, just a simple rub would cause their skin to tear and it’s a serious problem.

「 Amazing, isn’t it? Drill spear, they say that it’s an ancient martial art 」

「 Uhm, Kyouko-san, what’s the principle behind the drill? 」

I just asked.

The switch on the drill is an industrial product no matter how you look at it.

「 Isn’t it obvious? It’s electric. It’s electric-powered drill 」

I knew it.

「 The ancient kingdom of Kabibinga had these electric spears for 850 years 」

That’s…

Dolly and Anna seem to be speaking something.

「 See? These girls who use their spears said so, they’re definitely right 」

Kyouko-san said smilingly.

「 But, these girls are strong you know. A hundred times stronger than those ladies with their spears over there 」

「!!! 」

Kyouko-san said. Kuromiya-san reacted.

However, as expected of young ladies of nobility, they didn’t let their emotions take over and complain to Kyouko Messer.

They know well enough the dangers of Kyouko-san.

Kuromiya-san has confirmed Kyouko-san’s out-of-this-world combat power during the party in the Kouzuki house’s garden.

「 By the way, Edie, is that the girl you wrote in your mail that you want me to meet? 」

Kyouko-san looks at Grace Marinka, who’s at Edie’s side.

「 Yes, it’s this girl 」

Edie replied.

「 I see. She has some demonic vigor. Just like me. Although, when I was at her age, I’m not just physically strong, but also skilled 」

Kyouko-san appraised Grace Marinka-san in just a glance.

「 But, she’s still young, if she works hard from now on, I’m sure that she’ll be strong. Her physique has the aptitude to be good. Oh, she seems to have some weird quirks on her muscles, what the hell 」

「 Jun was a professional wrestler until the other day you see 」

Edie called Grace-san by her real name.

「 Oh, I see. So that’s why her muscles aren’t trained and dull 」

Kyouko-san nods.

「 How about we have a match? I want to do some light exercise before breakfast 」
