Pure Love ✕ Insult Complex

"I don't care what you say."

Me... with a grand attitude?

'Cause guys... they're famous ladies, aren't they?

If I had an erratic attitude or something... that would be rude...

"In the meantime, sir... please put this on"

Remove the sunglasses.

"The official" Lord Kuromori "... is wearing glasses."

Oh...... can sunglasses mislead my manicured face a bit?

"Dark sunglasses don't have to be distracted by your opponent"

Ji says so.

"Except... just call me in front of the person you're looking for. Especially when it comes to running with people in equal positions, never wear sunglasses."

"... why?

"If you wear sunglasses, they think you're hiding your heart. Trying to hide your mind in a serious battlefield is proof you can't afford it... you can't be fooled."

"I see."

"Now is a good time... the daughters of the famous family don't care about you at all. It makes you think you're completely ignoring it."

"Oh, okay."

I... wear the sunglasses you gave me.

"These sunglasses... are missouri's hobbies?

"No... it's Sister Shang"

Misuzu answered.

"My chosen sunglasses were rejected by everyone else"

As always, Misuzu... my taste has changed only with regard to things about me.

"I thought more... wild sunglasses would be better if you guys were elegant..."

"Hmmm...... I think this is good too"

That's what Ji says too...... refrain from wild, missouri.

"It also fits today's suit. That suit... you made it in the example store?

"Oh, I got it made at the store Ji told me about."

Ji told me to make custom-made suits for Kazuki family events.

They also told me about the store... the whole body, the dimensions were measured... the temporary stitches and many times...

Though I also like the suit that you fixed for my sister Keko... that was originally my sister Minaho's grandfather's suit...

Since it's bad to get a suit of shapes any more... I bracketed my belly and made a new one.

"What do you think, the right suit for your shape... would be comfortable?

"Yeah. Something... it's so light, easy to move, and I'm not tired. This suit."

Really... That's a great professional move.

"The fabric was decided by me, Rukiko and Sister Keko"

I don't know about the fabric of the suit or the colors and patterns... because I don't know...

I asked him to come with me to the store and decided.

There was also Michi, but he didn't say a word.

Well, Michi too... he's only been in uniform for 24 hours.

Because I don't seem to know much about fashion.

"This is... you've heard my opinion too"

Misuzu...... say.

"Um, it's a little flashy and glossy fabric... but Sunshine is young, and today is not a place for business. Well, that would be nice."

"I also made a suit for a soothing seat. You... didn't adopt my opinion."

Unfortunately, Misuzu says.

"If you can tell, there's no problem. Her customers had a lot of sprinklers, starting with me. I've seen a lot of good fabrics, good tailoring. My eyes are fatter than yours or Rukiko's."

Ji said so... and laughed Kukukuku.

"Well... shall we go to the courtyard where your ladies are?"

Ji, get up.

"Ooh, yeah...... good faith. No, from now on, you should call me Kuromori-kun."

Look at me...... laugh.

"As I said earlier, I have to behave as an 'authoritative person' in public. So, I'm sorry... but you need to be a little bit careful with me."

"I know that."

Even I'm not that stupid.

"Me too...... shouldn't you call me" Your Excellency "instead of" Ji "?

"There, you... you should call me 'Grandfather'"

Ji says so.

"Everyone knows I'm allowing you to get along with Misuzu... if they think you're making me call you 'My Lordship' or something, they'll question my personality"

"Ok...... well, in 'Grandfather'"

"Whoa... please"

Niyah, Ji says.

"The way you call me, that's fine... get away from me. I am the head of the Kazuki family... because I am a powerful man."

"Ah...... yeah"

"Misuya and Rukiko's friends will come to say hello... but you don't do anything until I say hello. My face will crush."

"Oh, from a great man. In order?

"Naturally. You can't even look at the girls' faces coming up... when they're right, you have to say hello, right?

"Oh well."

"From a distance with me, it's nice to look at the girls... but you can't look shiatsu, and don't look each other in the eye until you say hi. Absolutely... okay."

That's pretty tough.

But I can't help it. You can't embarrass Ji.

"When I'm talking, just look at my face. Don't look around. Listen seriously...... ok"

Okay, I got it.

"So... let's go"

◇ ◇ ◇

Out in the hallway...... Dade and Tenmoto were waiting.

These two full-time guards have big bodies anyway. Just looking at it, I can see the strength.

Even if Ji didn't say anything to the two of us, she followed me from behind softly.

"Oh, yeah... you're free to talk to me. Shaq's the one who thinks you're too nervous to tell the girls anything, right?

Ji says so.

"Oh, me too... I'm holding you back beside Ji, and you don't just answer when you say something or something?

"I thought you said you were inside.... you have a body that stays so chatty? That kind of thing is fine. But don't have any conversations around you that might seem silly."

"Uh... I'll do my best"

'Cause I'm an idiot... you're going to say something stupid.

So I guess it's better to stay quiet all the time......

Ji tells you to have a conversation normally...

"I think everyone in the courtyard is going to listen to the conversation your grandfather and husband are having... with their ears shut."

Misuzu...... say.

"Girls... because they all love to listen"

Is that... the lady or the kids in my class the same?

"Sir... this way"

We go straight to the upstairs terrace facing the courtyard.

But really... it's a big, old, splendid mansion.

But even in this building, on the premises of the Kazuki main house, it's the third oldest... Mid-Showa architecture?

Over there, they have a western hall built in Meiji.

Because the building is too precious for you and you can't live with it... now they don't use it except during special events and save it.

The heating is in the fireplace and firewood… the chimney is connected to each room.

Part of the windowsill is stained glass from the Meiji era… nowadays, I say it cannot be reproduced.

"The historic building is beautiful... to live in. The design of the era before the heating and cooling system was complete… What's wrong? Summer is hot and winter is cold. Prioritize better ventilation in the summer. Therefore, even if the cooler is applied later... the cold air escapes. cold resistant. In winter, the cold air outside comes in"

Ji says so.

"If you want to live, a new home is better"

So...... Ji usually lives in another building she has built since Heisei. It is spacious, heated and cooled, and has a large bath. Rukiko and Miko lived there, too.

"It would be more interesting to have a party in this old building."

So... today's garden party ended up being the courtyard of this' Showa Hall '.

"I see... you've been coming together for a long time"

Close to the terrace fence, Ji looks down into the courtyard below......

Oh, about ten beautiful girls in party dresses... sitting in a white chair and happily welcoming each other.

And beside each side...... the guard girls refrain.

"Except for the 'Girl Guard' who protects you directly... you're supposed to be waiting outside the courtyard. And of course, everyone at Kazuki Security Services."

Oh...... besides "The Guardian Girl With You".

Some kids are bringing in a man guard.

"This is our friendly meeting and... Sister Xiang of the Kazuki Security Service Top Elite, Sister Reihua is the place to lecture you, so please don't patronize other companies"

Well... you can't teach your commercial enemies how to do Kazuki Security Services.

"Hmm...... well, fine"

Ji, look at the girls.

"The daughters of every house... they're all beautiful, aren't they? Don't you think?

Sure...... all the ladies in the famous house have beautiful faces and good style.

"Why do you think?

Ji, look at me and laugh.

"Why... because you're a lady, right?

"So why do you say you're a lady... and you're just gonna be beautiful?

... it is.

"Who's in a good house... marrying a beauty or something?

One or eight, I'll try to answer that.

"Well, that's the thing. Even the rich and powerful... women prefer to be beautiful. If a beautiful woman gives birth to a child, the child to be born is equipped with a beautiful gene. Try that for generations...... more and more genes of beauty are added from the mother's side and eventually it will be a family line where all beauties are born"

"I see."

Misuzuya Rukiko and Miko are also... beautiful.

"Of course, I often get daughters of other houses to be my daughter-in-law in order to strengthen ties between houses... and yet, even houses like that marry beautiful women in some generation. Back in the day, my wife didn't have a child... and there were many cases where a beautiful concubine gave birth to a governor."

Is it something called a famous house... that accumulates the genes of a beautiful woman?

"... the girls over there are not just warrants. I don't have a single daughter of a grown-up. Guys, I mean the daughters of a famous family of real things who have lived in the upper classes of this country for generations."

Ji... says so.

"So everyone...... so beautiful"

I try to see the girls again...

"Well... Kazuki is here!

"Oh, 'my lord'......!

Ah... they noticed us looking down from the terrace upstairs.

A voice that seemed to be joyfully welcoming until just now calms down with Singh.

The whole courtyard was nervous about Ji's appearance.

"... don't gaze at them."

"Ugh, yeah."

Ji Ji... Again, he stabbed me with a whisper.

"Come on, let's go... sir"

Misuzu takes the lead...... Me, Ji, Otomoto and Tenmoto.

We head down the white stone stairs by the terrace towards the courtyard.

The girls in the courtyard, breathtaking... are looking up at us.

... Wow.

Me... I'm getting nervous.

Love is the kind of urgency you're spelling to yourself.

"Oh, yeah... Kuromori-kun"

Down the stairs, Ji said it out loud.

"Kuromori told me that you were having a hard time... and your sister told me about your work."

What... are you talking about me and my sister Keko?

"It's about work. that professionals should not fail."

Oh...... Could it be about bread?

I changed the way I baked... Kiko scolded me...

Sister Minaho was eavesdropping on that conversation, and you told Ji?

"Oh. Because we always have to offer our customers the same quality and the same thing. Selling something that fails undermines the trust of the customer, right? So... I can't fail."

That's what I said.

"Mm-hmm. In the sense of managing goods as a 'business', that's right. We, whatever it may be... must not sell bad things. That's right..."

We've already gone down the stairs to the courtyard.

"But this is a tough question about working as a profession and not failing as a business."

To me and Ji, who came down... the ladies of each famous house and the guard girls, I pay attention.

Some of them are taking their seats...... trying to come say hello to Ji.

"About 'occupation' and 'work' … I've been thinking a lot lately."

Ji ignored all those girls... and sat in an empty garden table chair.

"Well, Kuromori-kun, sit down."

"... Ah, yes"

Me too...... sitting in a chair in the gaze of the girls.

Misuzu remains standing beside Ji.

Susssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

"Your grandfather and Kuromori are in the middle of an important conversation..."

Misuzu tells Rukiko.

"Yes...... then, as usual"

Rukiko smiled and answered.

"Yeah, as usual...... please. Rukiko."

"Yes... missouri sister"

Because it's a public place... Rukiko called Misuzu 'your sister'.

The girls in the courtyard remain focused on us.

Everybody shut up...... I'm asking over here.

"Well... Kuromori-kun. Do you... do you think there's something in this world called 'Never Fail a Job'?

"I think there is..."

For example, it's like fighting Cizario Viola......

It's like if we fail, we all die... sometimes we can't lose.

"Exactly... there is something like that for sure. Especially when dealing directly with people's lives and deaths… doctors, paramedics, firefighters, police officers, and military personnel."

Ji... says so.

"But here............ I'll put aside with regard to those special professions. As a general theory, let's think about ordinary professions."

Ji begins to talk only by looking into my eyes.

"For example... in" The Work I Do as a Occupation, "how many things like" This Can Never Fail, "" If You Fail This, You'll Be Fired "?

... it is.

"Well... it's not like there isn't. There are big projects that determine the fate of the company. But... is that really something you shouldn't fail to do? If I fail, is it something that gets me fired?

... er.

"To conclude first...... whatever job it is, if that is what it is established as a profession...... failure to some extent is acceptable. Well, you may be demoted or your birth may stop... but you can't get to the point where you're fired. Not to mention not falling for a cot like you have to die and apologize"

Failure... forgiven?

Easy......... not fired?

"If you're a full-time employee of a company, well, yes. Unless you make such a huge loss... a failed employee will never be fired"

"Uh, what a huge loss... how much?

"That's... only if it's as serious as whether it involves a company stall. If it's a regular company. If you're a big company, there are cases where you're not fired for losing hundreds of millions. Conversely, if you are a small company, management tends to be even on a million yen basis… Sometimes the unsuccessful person has to quit by cutting his or her stomach. Sometimes it's not just about the amount… Sometimes you have to discipline a company, a company, or a person if you break their trust."

... I see.

"But unless it's so much... companies don't fire full-time employees. Trade unions are loud, and the law protects workers."

Ji, look at me.

"Above all... because mistakes and troubles of that magnitude occur on a daily basis. Employee mistakes and troubles… Someone's failure is detrimental to the company. That happens all the time. It's really good. If I had fired one of my employees for that... that would have left me with no talent to work for"

Oh, well.

"Make mistakes, keep your head down... that's the kind of failure experience that makes employees grow. If you're afraid of failure, you can't do anything creative."

Ji... says so.

"I... think that failure is an attachment to the work I do as a profession. Instead, I don't think it's always going to succeed. So I tell my men... 'Good luck to succeed' but not 'Don't fail'. Words like that only atrophy your men. When that happens... anything becomes a job that lacks creativity without adventure"

Ugh, yeah.

"People... will fail somewhere someday. There's no one who never fails. That's... you know what I mean?

"Of course."

"That's why... I'll try as hard as I can not to fail. If you still fail, you just have to laugh bitterly... but keep in mind that that can happen"

"Oh well... 'Absolutely succeed. You can't fail.' I don't even think about it until after I fail."

"That's the thing. The" Success Supremacy "humans... are always a backwater formation. I can't even afford it."

If I had also considered the possibility of failure from the start...... wouldn't my heart be a cutlet?

"Remember... if that is what is established as a 'profession', then some failure is allowed. Conversely, what fails at one time to do no good… even 'work' is not 'profession'"

Ji said that with a straight face.

"For example... suppose there's an F1 race racer, right? If you are a person who is recognized as a racer as a 'profession', even if your grades are not puckering for about a year... you can still be a racer the following year. Because I've already achieved my track record as a racer and my ability has been recognized."

Oh, who's ever been a champion even once...

Even if you had a poor grade year, you said, 'Did the car perform poorly?' Or so they thought... the next year, I can get out to F1.

"If I only got into the race for a year, but couldn't contract with any team the following year... I don't think that person would be able to say 'I was an F1 racer as a profession' even though he was an 'F1 racer'"

As a 'profession'......

"I can't do it once... or I could only go on for a year... failure is unacceptable... that kind of tough work isn't a 'profession'. Even if you make some mistakes, it's what keeps you going… it's a 'profession'"

... Ugh, yeah.

"You're talking about Keko... right. But it's not enough. For example… speaking of bakeries as an example."

The bakery... it's my job.

"Yesterday, as usual, the bread was baked... and sold to customers. But today with some trouble...... for example, I didn't get the luxury materials I always use. The number of people working underneath could not be secured. Well, there's a lot going on. So all I could make was a different kind of bread."

Ji... tells me.

"That would happen... in real life. It can't be happening. Troubles you can't even predict always happen. Really... incredible, unclamped things happen"

... some inevitable failures.

"As usual, selling bread with the usual flavor means… ideal. It should be, and it must be. But I can't always do that"

... Absolutely not.

"But if... if the bakery had been established as a 'profession'... if I had known the customer... even if the flavor dropped for a day or so, I could take it back. That's what it is."

If you could tell me or my sister Keko's bread was' delicious'......

One day, for reasons that I can't help... even if I sell no bread...

Trust will not completely fall into the ground.

From there again...... I can take it back.

No... I just have to take it back.

"The term 'don't be afraid to fail' does not mean 'you can fail', of course. Failure is coming... in any case. That's why, even if you fail, you should always think about it so that you can rebuild your work...... In particular, the relationship between myself and the customer…"

Ji said...

"Doing something as a 'profession' means having customers all the time."
