"Mr. Guan, it's your car!

A Kazuki Security Service watchman drove my sister Xiang's car.

The watchman gets out of the driver's seat as soon as he pulls over. The engine stays on.

"Thank you, Mori."

……

That's right, Sister Sho... I remember the name of the watchman who went to get my car properly.

"... I'll send you guys. Get in."

Sister Xiang said to us with a smile.

"No... but... because they tell me to walk away"

I was told by Sister Minaho…

"That's okay, brother... let me give you a ride"

Mana says.

"The reason I have to walk away is because it's gone..."

Oh well......

Sister Minaho walked us out of the main entrance… to run into two watchdogs, the Kazuki Security Service and the Public Security Police.

Nothing...... walking the journey to school doesn't make sense.

"It's getting late because of the noise."

Meg is waiting...

"Yeah, I'll give you a ride, then"

"Go ahead, young lady!

Sister Xiang says, step aside.

"Edie, let's ride."

Edie laughs at me... and tells me to get on first.

Oh, am I the 'young' here......

There are still eyes on Kazuki Security Service monitors and the public security police.

Edie is set to buy it from Kyoko as my guard... before me, she can't possibly get in the car.

"Ride with Reihua."

"Yes, Sister Sho..."

So... in the passenger seat, Ray.

In the back seat, there will be a line of me, Edie and Mana......

"... I'll get it out"

Sister Xiang steps on the accelerator......

The watchmen's cars are getting smaller and smaller behind them.

"... you can't talk yet. Reihua, please."

"... Yes"

Ray... take the little machine out of your pocket.

"... from inside the car, no strange radio waves are emitted"

"Copy that. Does Mori ever set up a wiretap or something?"

Sister Xiang laughs softly.

"With all possibilities in mind, people other than the 'family' hang in suspicion... overlooks are never tolerated because they may have a negative impact not only on themselves but also on the 'family'..."

In the room mirror, Sister Shang's eyes look at me.

"That's exactly what Minaho told me last night... me and Reihua"

Oh, in the room next to Mizu's apartment... the three of us were drinking.

"You're a wonderful man, Mr. Minaho. I realized how sweet I've been, and I'm embarrassed."

With that said...... first, the day I met Ray and Sister Shang.

When I was traveling from theater to hotel... I missed checking my car, had I ever been raided?

"From now on... I'm going to keep my mind shut so my enemies don't poke me in the gap. Me and Reihua."

"... Yes"

Ray snorts, too.

"By the way, Reihua is... not good at remembering people's names?

Sister Shang sees Ray.

"Ah... I'm sorry. Men, especially. From now on, we will try to remember our faces and names immediately."

You're going to be chief of security.

You have to know about the crew.

Sister Xiang seems to remember everyone who has worked within the Kazuki Security Service.

"Oh, you don't have to remember."

Sister Xiang says so with a laugh.

"Huh? Sister Sho...?

Surprise...... Ray.

"People don't get what they get... and it's a thousand different styles of people standing up there. If you're not comfortable remembering people's names... you can be that kind of manager."

Smile huffy...... Sister Shang.

"You are strong... be lonely. Make the crew think," I'm going to get excited in the field so Chief Fujimiya can remember his name. "That's the kind of leadership, isn't it, Ali?

I see......

"But... now the function of the security department"

"It's okay. I'll give Reihua a few good secretaries who can be attentive. Because you can leave the fine follow-ups to those kids. Me and Chief Tanzawa will follow. Mostly, you... you're not good at desk work, are you?

"... Yes"

"Fine, throw it round. You're not a generalist, you're a specialist... just focus on what you're good at."

Sister Xiang says so.

"... ok"

"Oh yes... if you don't know the names of your men, you can never properly mislead them. In that case, you can't even ask the person his or her name. Be sure to ask your secretary on your side." What's the name of this crew? 'Cause it looks great on a high-flying car. "

... Ugh, yeah.

"Soon the secretary's child will say, 'What is it?'... and then he will say, 'Really? Remember,' say this again as greatly as you wish. Whether you praise them or scold them... any time."

"But I... promise to 'remember', you may not remember"

Ray says...... lean down.

"It's nothing. On the next occasion I also asked the secretary's child, 'What is the name of this member?' Ask. Then the secretary's child specifically answers, 'What time is it in the meantime?'... then you can remember. Reihua said, 'Oh, you did,' because you should be laughing."

"That's not true...... don't your people trust you?

"Trust me and do it... because it will work"

Sister Xiang is laughing.

"Because Reihua reminded me of myself, which means I forgot... in their minds. That's what it is. Even though I don't remember it properly, it's better than pretending to remember and giving me a rundown. I'm honest with them."

"... is that what it is"

"Yes... trust me"

"... Yes"

"I think it would have been nice to have responded earlier. Reihua is doing it right... it is done. We watched it properly."

... Sister Sho?

"The front gate over there has surveillance cameras and a bugging microphone. Minaho and Keko were watching you in the mansion. I was in this car watching video and audio."

Sister Xiang looks at the computer on the dashboard.

"My company's watchman's response to that bad squad leader is okay with that. You can destroy all of Yamaoka's previous positions. All the people who come crawling around because the new director is a woman, don't make a dent in them. I'll allow it."

"Ha... yes"

"The conversation with Mr. Public Safety... I had him squirm because of all the problems. If my arrival was delayed, Mr. Minaho and the others were supposed to interrupt... but Mr. Public Safety's opponent is better off with me, the full-time guardian of" My Lordship ", right?

Stay with Ji Ji... Sister Xiang has met with many people in the financial world.

Of course, because Ji has been guarding talks with domestic and international VIPs... even at the top of the police force, I know him.

I guess you're familiar with the organization of the public security police and... how to negotiate.

If you want to intimidate people in the public security police scene... Sister Shang is more appropriate.

"So I interrupted today... but quickly, Reihua himself must be a feared presence by Mr. Public Security."

"... Yes"

Dark-faced...... Reihua.

"Ray would be fine......!

I call from the back seat.

"It's our Ray..."

Ray, put your hands on your chest...

"Behind me... I will never forget that there is a 'family' to protect...!

Yeah...... I still have strength in my shoulder.

Are you okay......

"Yes... we're here."

A car... arrived at the main entrance to my high school.

"In the end... you didn't tail this car. Did you see my attitude earlier and show respect for me for once?

Sister Xiang looked in the back of the car... and said so.

"Reihua... analyze it!

"Ah, yes......!

Ray...

"As for the Kazuki security service... I don't think anyone followed Sister Shang because she couldn't be ordered to 'get out the guard car'"

"I'm not the only one... I didn't order Reihua."

It is already known that Ray will be the next chief of security… the boss of the people on the surveillance team.

"Well, it's got two top elite guardians attached to it... and if you don't have orders, they won't come with it, will they? The squad leader, Kondo... don't you ever think about it?"

Sgt. Kondo has just been ordered to turn to the previous person and do the squad leader...

"What about Mr. Public Safety...?

"I think the public security police... give priority to confirming the information that Sister Xiang showed them. I mean, Kyoko's gone..."

Ray answers.

"... that's all?

Sister Xiang looks at Ray.

"No... I would let you tail me out for about a mile. I'm not sure why we weren't followed."

"... be honest with me"

Sister Xiang... smiles.

"Mr. Public Safety has... de-alerted him and Mr. Edie."

With me...... Edie?

'Cause I gave them a convincing explanation.'

"Edie is my guard... and I'm Jitsu's admitted opponent?

To my inquiry, Sister Xiang...

"That Leaf Mountain was the last thing the sheriff said, wasn't it? Who the hell are you?"

Sure... he said that.

"The feeling of those people... is that the granddaughter of the Kazuki family... is not supposed to be engaged to a boy in the general family."

"But I'm not... a famous person, am I?

"That's right. No matter how much I look into you... there's no connection to the famous house."

Coming out...... can't be.

"So... those people thought you were the hidden son of a powerful famous man. You were talking about that, weren't you?

...... oh. Speaking of which.

"Sex scandals... are a part of a famous family."

Even the Kazuki family... has a hidden son of Ji's murdered eldest son, Miko.

"Anyway, if you're approved by" Your Excellency "... it means you're pretty sure you're a stash of famous houses. It's a famous house at the Kazuki family level."

... Yep.

"'My lord' bought a guard like Edie for you on purpose... it's impossible to be the hider of a regular famous house, isn't it? Instead, I think he's a leading child in the Kazuki family. If you're a public safety officer..."

Is that why you called me "the devil?" 'Were you asking?

"So... Kyoko's primary purpose, right? The Kazuki family doesn't really want to have a fight. If you find out you're involved with the Kazuki family... you'll have to get rid of it."

Sister Xiang said so.

"No matter how much I look into you... it's also natural that I don't have a connection to a famous house. If you're involved with the Kazuki family... it's not surprising that the records were erased. Besides, they work consciously to protect their country... and they have no passion for uncovering celebrity sex scandals."

Become... I see.

"So... the investigation against you is closed. Finally, the public security police had to apologize to the Kazuki family for trying to force you into taking them. Given the power relationship between the Kazuki family and the public security police, naturally. Though I didn't know... I tried to unjustly arrest you inside 'My Lordship'"

That's what I meant by that last exchange earlier.

"Well, Mr. Public Security decided... to apologize for the rampage of Public Security Officer Yeyama earlier. The Kazuki family accepts the apology... and promises not to hang the pressure on the police upper management. Instead, the police investigation into you will never be reopened."

My past... will be untouchable for the police.

"Mr. Edie also... your guardian means that Mr. Public Safety will never get his hands on you. Kyoko Messer has always introduced his talent to His Excellency. And even if Kyoko checks out who left him in Japan, he won't get any information that would allow him to arrest Kyoko… I know from previous investigations."

Sister Xiang laughs.

"For example... even if you were caught by the police, do you know anything about Kyoko? Is there anything you can testify about that man's crimes?

... Yep.

Rukiko's father, Kazuki Heavy Autumn, was killed... by Miss Cordelia.

Kyoko didn't kill anyone in front of me.

Even the attack on Yakuza's office, I just listened...

Kyoko's evidence against the crime... knows nothing.

"In the first place, do you know Kyoko's Ajito or something? There must be plenty of them both domestically and in foreign countries."

"... I don't know"

"That's right... I'm trying not to let you know one thing that might bother us..."

Oh...... the really dangerous work is all done with Miss Cordelia and the others.

"... he's amazing. It's hard on me and others... it's thorough. And yet you have so much humor."

...... yeah.

"So, too, Edie... now you won't be marked by Public Safety anymore. For Mr. Public Safety, it would be a perception that you don't mind abandoning it to Japan…"

That means Edie will live in Japan as our 'family' … the Public Security Police will stay out of the way.

I have to do something about Edie's family registry or something...

"Um... what about me?

Mana opened her mouth.

"I... okay? Can I stay here?

The public security police...... knew Mana was' Shirazaka Dance Summer '.

"Reihua... Answer him"

Sister Shang sees Ray......

"Unless a 'search petition' has been filed with the police... no one can get their hands on it. Don't worry."

Right... if Mana's mother or her grandfather, Ichikawa, doesn't file a 'search petition'...

No matter where Mana is, the police can't help it.

"But he said he was going to arrest your brother as Mana's kidnapper...!

"That was Mr. Public Security's" threat "… I think it was" exploration ""

Ray answers.

"On that occasion, when Mana said, 'Help me'... I think she was going to arrest us all"

The public security police... don't know why Mana is here with us.

If Mana's been kidnapped... against her will, we're taking her around...

We should have asked the police for protection on that spot.

"But Mana... she didn't say 'help' to anyone in the public security police. So I think I decided this wasn't a kidnapping."

"I think so too... Reihua"

Sister Shang, too, pushed my heartbeat.

"If it's not kidnapping, I can't give you a hand. You just have to keep your chest up."

But...... you should ask Sister Minaho to contact Mr. Ichikawa again.

If Mana's mother went upside down and filed a search application with the police...... it would be a big deal.

We have to stop.

"If you're worried, Mr. Minaho's already moving."

Sister Xiang smiles at me.

"It's our sister... there's nothing wrong with her."

... Exactly.

Sister Minaho would be acting like a...

◇ ◇ ◇

"Well, be careful... we'll send the missouri to the hotel, but we'll go straight to the next scene"

Sister Xiang opens the driver's window... and tells us to stand in front of the school gate.

Oh well, Sister Sho...... keep driving and go with Ray to Mount Green Studios......

"It's okay. Although we are not here... Chief Tanzawa is taking care of" Your Excellency "protection, and there are Otomo and the others."

It's a big party in Ji's presence... you'll have plenty of protection.

"Um... Regards, Snow Sister"

Mana said...

"I know... because I would never let you get hurt or anything"

Sister Xiang promised me with a gentle smile.

Then say something in English to Edie.

I'm snorting at you, Edie.

Well... I'll ask for our protection, or something like that.

"... Ray"

I knock around the window of Ray's passenger seat.

Ray, open the window...

"Yes, what is it?

With a Kyotong face, he looks up at me.

"Good luck, because I expect... about Ray, I believe"

I... give you my hand.

"Ah...... thanks"

Ray blushed... and shook my hand.

"Ray, are you nervous?

"... Huh?

"Because my hands are cold"

I replied, laughing.

"Just a little......!

Edie's here... in the shadow of a car, somewhat gossipy.

... and.

"… Sister"

I handed Ray one of my back swords.

That's the one Michi just gave me.

"Oh, thanks......!

Edie gives a good thumbs up.

I guess it's an encouragement to be Edie.

"Then we will go..."

Sister Xiang, hang up the car's engine.

"If everything goes well... Reihua and I will go back to the mansion. I'll see you at night."

"Yeah, okay... I wish you success"

"You guys, be careful......!

Sister Shang's car... turns kick and goes back to the mansion.

Take Snow... I guess we'll head to Mount Green Studios.

The Minaho sisters head to the hotel with the missouri.

We'll pick up Meg... wait for Margo and go to the hotel...

◇ ◇ ◇

Take the Enrollment Permit given to you by Sister Keiko... dive the main entrance.

I'm in uniform, but Edie and Mana are in private clothes.

But there was no one to stop us.

Last day of the May holidays...... and it's almost evening.

Right now, the only people in school will be clubs... because many of them will already be home.

On the last day, they cut up practice early... and some parts launch in the family or something.

Anyway, it's not popular near the school building.

Head for the women's shore ground.

♫……♫

Edie was in a good mood.

Hold my hand, sing an English song... and walk away on the school grounds.

Mana grabs my other hand... and follows me.

"Edie, you... you're going to this school."

I... had Mana interpret.

……

Edie looks strange and laughs.

"You... you know what school is?

Yeah......

"Something... Edie seems to have only been to a school in a denominational facility"

Mana... tells me.

I knew it......

There's no way the Assassination Church is going to send the kids to a public school outside.

"But he was good at math and science and physics."

Heh... unexpected.

"... because it is necessary for assassination"

Oh, you mean...

"He said he didn't like" Scripture Reading "classes."

That's... that's enough.

Edie fell out of the assassination crew.

But......

"Damn...... it could be tough like Anise. You might not be able to integrate it right away."

With Anise...... Should I target school attendance from the third semester at the beginning of the year?

"That's okay, in Edie's case..."

Mana says.

"From the beginning, I'm an American... because I don't understand Japanese Mandarin, history, geography, naturally."

Right... it's an absurd move, but it might be quicker to get used to Japanese life if you let them go to school like this.

"'Cause you're gonna be a classmate of your brother and Meg's sister, right?

Yeah...... you just have to take care of me and Meg.

Meg has a lot of friends with girls in her class...

"Edie... you're going to be here every day with me."

To my words, Edie rejoices.

Squeeze my hand... and wave loudly.

Looks so happy.

"What... are you so happy to go to school?

Edie is......

"Edie... he said he's happy to be with you every day with your brother"

... that way.

Well, fine.

"Besides, I'm telling you it feels good to have trees all over here."

...... oh.

Early summer afternoon...... cool and the wind feels good.

We walked away with the three of us holding hands...

◇ ◇ ◇

Get to the ground on the women's shore.

"'This place is full of dirt whenever you come... why don't you cultivate such a vast land?' Cause."

Mana translated it for me.

"Well... this is a place for exercise."

With the running team...... oh, is that a wide jump over there?

"... OH!

To the assassination denomination... they didn't have any ground for shore.

Edie is impressed with Humphung and Mana's explanation.

Uh... there's no Meg.

I wonder where he went?

Ah... there's a bamboo wood captain at the bench.

Along with his four third-grade seniors, he oversees the practice of his employees.

"... excuse me, Senior Takeshiba"

I greet Captain Bamboo Wood.

"Uh... Meg."

"... I'm listening"

In a grumpy manner, Captain Bamboo wood in jersey replied.

"Sorry...... I was supposed to leave today and Meg early yesterday"

In addition to this, Meg has taken several breaks from his club activities during this holiday.

"I have no choice. I know the morning news, too."

Shirazaka Chuangsuke's deathbed... is heavily featured in the press.

We all know that Meg is a remote part of the Shirazaka family.

"Coronation is a mess......!

Guillot and stare at me.

Oh, Mr. Takeshiba...... what are you angry about?

"So... what the hell, those two?

"Oh, maybe... are you angry that I brought someone who's not a student at school?

To my inquiry, Captain Bamboo Wood...

"... hands"

"Yes......?

My hand?

"You have a lover named Emmi... why are you holding their hand?

Ahhh......!

Me, Edie, Mana and... I kept my hands together!!!

Because it was normal for me to hold hands with my 'woman' here...

I wasn't aware at all......!!!

"As I can see...... do you want me to explain?!

Not only the bamboo wood captain, but also the other third grade sempai...... see Giroli and us......
