Chapter 1030. Then, the night comes / Dining Together

Arriving in the dining room, Mao-chan wearing an apron welcomes us.

Tableware for everyone is placed on a long dining table.

「 Papa’s seat is over here! Grampa’s seat is here! 」

Agnes who’s also wearing an apron told us where to sit.

「 Wait a second! We’ll be ready soon! 」

Agnes said then goes back to the kitchen.

Then…

「 Uhm, is there anything we can do to help? 」

「 Help? 」

Mitama and Kinuka who arrived in the dining room ask Agnes.

「 You can help out by tomorrow. Take it slow today 」

Agnes smiles.

「 It also hurt a lot on my first time 」

It’s better if the Anjou sisters stay still for today since they just lost their virginity.

「 Your seats are over there! Arisu-chan, sit down next to them 」

Agnes is in charge of assigning seats for everyone.

「 The new girls sit next to Papa. Therefore, Misuzu-chan and Ruriko-chan, your seats are over here!

Agnes put a lot of thought into this.

「 Yes, I understand. Where should Mariko-san sit? 」

Misuzu asks Agnes.

「 Err, did she already do it with Papa? 」

「 Not yet 」

Torii-san replies with a wry smile.

「 Then, this one. The girls who are in pain are the priority for today. Oh right, Eri-chan and Rie-chan can sit close to Papa 」

Speaking of which, where are the twins?

I can’t see them?

Are they in the kitchen?

Looking at that direction, Katsuko-nee comes in without the apron.

「 The girls completed the work when I left them 」

She smiled.

「 Mana’s the center during the cooking but those girls are amazing 」

「 Those girls 」

「 I mean the twins, Eri-chan and Rie-chan 」

What do you mean?

「 Yes, that’s right. Eri-chan and Rie-chan are skilled cooks 」

Agnes said with a smile.

「 It seems that their mother never does housework. That’s why the two learned to cook for themselves since elementary 」

The parents of the twins are useless Yakuza’s…

They earn money from selling their daughter’s lewd videos after all.

「 I talked to them, and those girls are great. Dear… 」

Katsuko-nee smiled at me.

「 I granted your request, so could you grant mine? 」

I asked Katsuko-nee to support Minaho-neesan in her brothel, even if it’s for just a short period.

Katsuko-nee doesn’t want to get involved with the brothel work anymore but she accepted it.

「 What? Say it. If I can do it then I will 」

I replied immediately.

「 It’s not for me but for the twins 」

Katsuko-nee smiled.

「 Why don’t we have those girls show up on Yukino-chan’s show? 」

Huh?

Yukino’s show.

It’s a mysterious time slot where Yukino just speaks ill of people.

The show’s column shows nothing but “Shirasaka Yukino, Snatch, Francie”

Nobody knows how does that show broadcast, it’s a show that displays the darkness of the TV world.

「 You know, Yukino-chan’s stomach is growing bigger. And she needs to have maternity leave soon right? So, I think that we should increase the regulars while that’s not happening 」

「 But, that would put Eri and Rie on TV screens, right? 」

Why the twins?

「 Well, they’re clever and they are fun to talk to, besides, it’s timely, isn’t it? 」

Timely

「 The incident with their parents happened this morning 」

Right…

Yomi used her Miko power to overwrite the brains of Tendou Sadao and his Yakuza friends.

They went to Kansai using rental cars last night.

This morning, the Yakuza boss had a shootout with the people he sent to Tokyo in his house.

Everyone died after an intense shootout.

「 I think that those girls can turn that horrific reality to a funny story 」

Katsuko-nee said.

「 As of now, even if we take those girls, their connection to Yakuza won’t be severed. They lost their parents but the other Yakuza still wants them 」

The twins did say that.

A lot of people in their hometown would want to use Eri and Rie for lolicon videos, or even send them to prostitution.

「 But, as long as they’re in Tokyo, with us, we’ll keep them safe 」

I replied.

「 Though you say that, you can’t just keep them inside the house all the time, can you? It will be hard to find a middle school that will accept those girls 」

It’s big news on the television that their parents died on the shoot-out.

Ordinary middle school would hesitate to take in daughters of Yakuza who died like that.

「 Besides, they’re transferring from their middle school in Kansai, the Yakuza from there could find out where they transferred using that 」

「 Wait, I thought that personal information like that doesn’t leak outside? 」

「 No such thing exists. Furthermore, the other party is the Yakuza, they’ll do anything illegal for their goals 」

Using any method behind the scenes to find the whereabouts of the twins.

The Yakuza from Kansai, especially those who sent Tendou Sadao to Tokyo, would want to know the reason why they suddenly betrayed their boss and shot them.

No, they should know at least that it’s the Miko power, but still…

They’ll definitely investigate the whereabouts of Rie, Eri, Tokuda Sonoko-san, and Kurosawa Naoko-san.

If it goes well, they’ll find a clue leading to Kouzuki SS.

「 Therefore, they should show up on Yukino-chan’s show. That show has an untouchable emblem. If Shirasaka Yukino reaches out to the twins, it sends a message, eliminating the dark powers 」

I see.

If the twins present themselves in Yukino’s show, it becomes clear that they’re under our protection.

Kansai Yakuza can’t touch them anymore.

「 I think that’s for the better. That’s a sound plan 」

Turning around, Shou-neechan’s over there.

「 Don’t you think so too, Minaho-san? 」

Shou-neechan turned back and Minaho-neesan’s over there, shrinking.

「 Uhm, I’m here 」

Minaho-neesan speaks shyly.

「 You said that you want to talk face-to-face 」

「 I brought her over 」

Shou-neechan smiled.

She dragged her back from the Kouzuki SS old training building.

「 Our Kinoshita’s looking after those girls. It should be okay. Kinoshita isn’t agitated most of the time 」

The always-smiling Kinoshita-san is looking after the two new prostitutes.

「 Yeah, thanks for coming, Minaho-neesan 」

I embraced Minaho-neesan’s thin body.

「 Kou? 」

「 Now, take a deep breath 」

「 O-Okay 」

「 Besides, nobody’s here other than family 」

Just ignore Torii-san for now.

「 You’re right, Yoshinobu 」

Not my name as a man of Kuromori house.

Minaho-neesan calls me with my name as her stepbrother, Kuromori Yoshinobu.

「 You’re too stubborn. Try to rely on us sometimes 」

「 But, if you consider Katsuko’s feelings 」

「 Katsuko-nee’s feelings for Minaho-neesan is much stronger 」

I said.

「 Yes, Ojou-sama. Katsuko is strong. I can support Ojou-sama and still prepare for the bakery opening 」

Katsuko-nee says with her chest puffed up in pride.

「 Katsuko, thank you 」

Minaho-neesan thanked Katsuko-nee.

「 See? It’s important to face each other and talk, right? 」

I say while embracing Minaho-neesan.

「 I feel like I’m going to depend more on when facing each other 」

「 It’s okay to depend. We’re family after all 」

「 But, it’s trouble, isn’t it? 」

「 It’s okay to make trouble. We’re family after all 」

I replied with a smile.

「 If Katsuko-nee can’t support you by herself, then someone else will help out too. It’s okay. We won’t let Minaho-neesan go there alone 」

「 Right. Minaho-san, you can call Reika or me anytime. I don’t know much about your business but I should be able to scold girls who behave poorly 」

Shou-neechan said.

If Iwakura-san does anything wrong, Shou-neechan and Rei-chan will silence her.

「 I called Kyouko-san earlier about that 」

Minaho-neesan said.

「 She finished her job in Kansai so she’s going back to Tokyo, but she’s going to stay in the hotel where our secret facility is located and will rent a room for a whole year 」

That means…

「 Kyouko-kun came to Japan to become a guard in the Black Forest 」

Jii-chan said.

When the Black Forest got messed up because of Shirasaka Sousuke’s rule…

Jii-chan assigned Minaho-neesan to revamp the management and called back Morimoto-san, the clerk

He also employed Kyouko-san for the role of keeping an eye on Shirasaka Sousuke so he won’t do anything weird.

「 Kyouko-kun would want to stay by Minaho-kun’s side if possible. She sees Minaho-kun as a little sister after all 」

She can’s stay in the Black Forest brothel all the time like before, but…

Kyouko-san should be able to go to Minaho-neesan and help her within 24 hours wherever in the world she’s from as long as there’s trouble.

She’s a real superwoman after all.

「 Yeah, I won’t need to worry if Katsuko-nee and Kyouko-san’s with you 」

Now I’m at peace.

Kyouko-san supported Minaho-neesan before Margo-san and Nei lived in the Black Forest.

She should know about the brothel.

「 Right. I’ll do my best 」

Minaho-neesan smiled.

「 Well then, I’m going to the other room 」

「 Huh, what about dinner? 」

Why are you not going to dine together with us?

「 Kurama Misato-san is in that room. You can’t bring Misato-san in this room, right? 」

Misato-san isn’t in our family.

She’s a prostitute candidate in the Black Forest.

She can’t dine together with everyone here.

「 Nagisa’s been keeping her company, right? I’ll go there, and Nagisa will come here. Nagisa shouldn’t be dealing with prostitution work anymore 」

It’s been four years since Nagisa retired and she’s now managing her own shop.

She has no time to help Minaho-neesan.

「 Still, thank you for saying that you want to talk face-to-face. Seeing your face blows away my worries. I no longer have doubts 」

「 Seeing each other’s face is necessary. When I have doubts about my work, I come to see his face. Watching him, drinking tea together, talking, it inspires me to see the solution in my worries. The loop of worries in my head stops 」

Shou-neechan said.

「 Shou-oneesan, you’re dining with us, aren’t you? 」

Katsuko-nee asks.

「 Yes. But, do you have enough for my share? I came here without any notice 」

「 We do have some for you. And for Rei-chan too. We intend to send some to the Kouzuki SS building if you didn’t come 」

Katsuko-nee’s not letting anyone out.

「 Reika and I will take turns later 」

「 Okay. Then, I’ll prepare for the usual 」

Katsuko-nee returns to the kitchen.

「 Agnes, where should Shou-neechan sit? 」

I ask Agnes who comes out of the kitchen.

「 Err, here, here, and here 」

「 Thanks, Agnes-chan 」

Shou-neechan thanked Agnes.

◇　◇　◇

Minaho-neesan swapped with Nagisa and Nagisa comes to the dining room with Arisu.

Misato-san is dining with Minaho-neesan and she will probably add her first training.

Then, Michi, Edie, Haiji, Mitama, and Kinuka. The combat girls come into the room. Yomi’s with them.

「 We did sweat ourselves a bit in the courtyard 」

Edie tells me.

「 Huh, is Mitama and Kinuka okay with that? 」

I just broke their hymen and yet they’re exercising intensely already

「 These girls just watched. Then, I was receiving a massage 」

「 Massage? From who? 」

「 From Otome 」

Oh, Tendou Otome?

Tsukiko did a complete altering of her memory.

Now she’s a weird girl shouting that she’ll become the King of the iron fist.

Well, she was weird before that.

The foundation of her mind remains intact to make sure that she doesn’t mentally break down.

Tendou Otome is named Kendo Maria now.

「 That girl’s setting changed but she’s still the same inside. Haiji took her down again. She lost consciousness and brought to Kouzuki SS medical team 」

Haiji took down Tendou Otome earlier this morning.

「 Then, I guess she’s no good. Ya-chan wanted her to show up in America’s martial arts tournament, but… 」

She’s weak, she can’t join the tournaments.

「 No, that’s what she’s suited for. Someone’s who’s noisy and has plenty of expressions, she would be a great show 」

Edie’s comment is harsh.

「 Otome uses her Qi skills just a bit but she skips training and so her body isn’t tempered at all. If it’s their body, Haruka’s better than her 」

Michi’s big sister, Kudou Haruka also works as a martial artist.

「 That girl’s stupid but she’s earnest. She continues to train every day without rest 」

Right…

She’s always training in the mansion’s courtyard.

「 So, Otome can just train together with Haruka 」

It would be great if she’s viewed as Haruka-san’s rival.

I should have Tsukiko add that setting.

Nei and Tsukiko enter the dining room while I was thinking.

Are they in good terms with Tendou Otome’s change?

「 Agnes, tell everyone where to sit 」

「 Okay, desuno! Err 」

Agnes points everyone to their seats

「 Okay, dinner’s here! 」

Mana, Mao-chan, Luna, Koyomi-chan, Mizushima Karen-san, Rie, Eri, and Ruriko.

They’re the young group who prepared dinner in the kitchen.

Then, add Agnes.

The girls push in the wagon with the cooked food.

「 Our dinner for today is hamburger steak, gyoza and potato soup, and salad 」

Hamburger and gyoza?

「 It’s a menu where the small girls can help out 」

Katsuko-nee said.

「 Mao-chan can help out kneading the meat on the hamburger and putting contents on the gyoza wrap, right? 」

「 I see 」

「 I’m the who grilled it 」

「 Me too! 」

Eri and Rie are accustomed to cooking so they’re the ones who cooked the hamburger and gyoza in the frying pan.

「 Mana and Ruri-oneechan cooked the soup 」

Mana puffs her chest.

「 I’ll distribute the meals, everyone else please bring the plates 」

Ruriko said. The young girls;

「 Okay~ 」

They’re having fun.

I guess they get along by cooking meals together.

「 This is like a dream 」

Jii-chan said.

「 That kitchen’s put to use recently. Or should I say that this private area of ours is used recently? Seki-kun took a lot of effort to prepare this 」

Jii-chan looked at Shou-neechan who’s sitting a bit further than him.

「 Just like you, I’m also a man with no private time. Starting from my birth even until this age 」

Jii-chan’s born as the heir of Kouzuki house.

Since childhood, he’s raised from his brothers as he will succeed in the family.

「 Someone’s always with me. Using servants means that the same servant observes you. Even in meals, all you have to do is eat the food cooked on the house. Surprisingly, the Master has no say. When they say “Please eat,” then you have no choice but to eat it, even if you don’t want to 」

Living with a servant … it must be hard to have someone else involved in your life, even your eating habits.

「 However, since Ruriko started living with you, she started cooking, hasn’t she? And then, since this fall, Misuzu, Ruriko, and Yoshiko, one of the three always live with me 」

The three of them take turns in sleeping in our mansion, and in the Kouzuki mansion.

Jii-chan’s an old man, so we don’t want him to be alone and lonely.

「 Furthermore, lots of girls are over here yesterday and today, staying over. Therefore, I had a kitchen prepared for Ruriko where servants can’t come in 」

We don’t want the servants to know much.

Who knows if they leak out information.

「 When I’m in my private area, Yazawa, Seki-kun, or Fujimiya-kun are watching me. Also, I require machines to constantly check on my health. If my breathing turned rough or my heart rate goes up, any kind of abnormalities will send in doctors to me 」

Medical teams from Kouzuki SS are stationed in front of the mansion.

「 I’m able to create this private time with just the family by accepting those two conditions. It makes me happy 」

Jii-chan enjoys watching the young girls setting the table.

「 I never imagined that I would grow old in such a rich and prosperous way 」

Jii-chan’s eldest son was murdered abroad.

The man who ordered the kill is Jii-chan’s second son, who wants to own the Kouzuki house.

As a result, Jii-chan had to cut him off.

There is a third son. Misuzu’s father, but they don’t have a good relationship.

Jii-chan didn’t bless his family.

「 Everyone’s Jii-chan’s family. They’re your granddaughters 」

I said.

「 So, you can rely on us too, Jii-chan 」

Yeah, we weren’t blessed with a real family, and so;

This is good enough.
