Pure Love ✕ Insult Complex

"Kee, you guys are the ones... is that how you blame me for the fun?

Old Matsushita stares at us.

"For the sake of kids who don't know how hard it is... I started a small drugstore on my own and now I've increased it to 1,500 stores all over the country!

I don't care if they tell that story on this occasion......

I guess this is all we can talk about... this guy.

"To get to that point...... you guys have been having a hard time like you can never imagine! I've been betrayed by people, I've been damned many times... I've been through so many crises that I might go bankrupt. But I... have survived all the ordeal by myself!

Old Matsushita says desperately... we look with cold eyes.

"What I'm doing is' business'... a 'real' job where I fight 'reality' and establish my existence with blood and sweat in 'reality'. I don't know what music is...... it's not like 'Vanity'!

"... I'm not sure what you're trying to say."

Mr. Kyoko's variable "Chaemin Koda" laughs spirally.

"You wouldn't know that... for someone like you who lives in the immense 'power' of a 'famous family'. I'm... Hiroki Matsushita! I live on my own... standing on earth with my own 'power' alone! Not like you guys!!!

The old man Matsushita...... summons and scatter.

"My life to you... my hardships, you know!

... er.

"I don't know that and... I don't even want to know"

I... say.

"Nobody can understand all of a person's life... even Matsushita won't know my life or Rukiko's..."

"Naturally! I can't believe the life of a rich son or daughter...... not what I found out!!!

"But we... we will try to understand who we interact with. Against any opponent..."

I... see Sister Shang.

"Because I'm talking about Kazuki Security Services... you're also doing a detailed investigation on Matsushita, right?

"... of course I'm investigating"

Sister Shang smiles.

"... first, tell me until Mr. Matsushita starts a drugstore"

"Yes."

Sister Xiang... takes out the tablet device and reads out the investigation report.

I know you really memorize everything... but in front of people like Matsushita, reporting in the form of 'reading it right' is the flux of Kazuki Security Services.

"Dear Hiroki Matsushita... My real name is Hiroki Matsushita. Born in Oita Prefecture. After secondary school, he graduated from night high school while working in a pharmaceutical factory at a major pharmaceutical company in Shanghai on a group job...... I received a 'scholarship' from the pharmaceutical company I worked for and went to the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Asano…"

"... you didn't get a 'scholarship' either!

Riko's going in.

"After college...... I join a pharmaceutical company that was on a 'scholarship' but my internal relationships are not going well...... I retire in 4 years. With the assistance of relatives in his hometown, he opened shop No. 1 of" The Tickling Matusita Hiroki "in 1975"

Sister Sho...... will be reading up on Old Man Matsushita's past.

"I want to hear more about it."

"Yes. After getting married in a pageant in 1977... with the assistance of his wife's parents, he opened shop number two in 1981. Later, as an urban drugstore, it increased its chain of stores, took a bubble economy and expanded to 300 stores in the country by 1988. It reached 500 stores in 1998 and was listed on one Tokyo Stock Exchange. Expanded business to 1,500 stores to date… to the present day. That's it."

I...

"On 'Scholarship', I'm getting help from relatives... from your wife's parents... and even at a time when you've been expanding your store, I'm sure you're getting help from a variety of people, right?

As the old man Matsushita just said...... he didn't make the drugstore chain bigger by himself alone.

At any given time, if someone is helping you.

"... it"

Mouth cage...... old man Matsushita.

"That's also written in the investigation report. Matsushita's friendship and what kind of people might have supported me... all"

Sister Shang says so.

Old Matsushita's company is huge... I guess it's been under investigation for Kazuki security services from time to time.

"Matsushita and the" back "people... I know."

Sister Minaho... says so and laughs.

Old Matsushita came here because Sister Minaho fished him out...

The information through the intermediary is held by Sister Minaho.

"Matsushita, too, has been helped by people... Then how can you say that Masaki Matsushita and Miki are bad at being 'scholars' for the Kazuki World Cultural Exchange Center?

I... say.

"No... the 'scholarship' I received when I was younger and... the 'scholarship' of the Kazuki family..."

"Nothing is different...... both are things that help young, dreamy and talented people. Even Matsushita... she did well at night high school and was admitted to wanting to learn more, so she was able to get a scholarship, right? Even when opening the store...... you lent Matsushita's dream money because someone from your relatives wanted to 'help you'?

People...... never live alone.

Anytime, someone is helping me.

"The same goes for Maki and Miki. The judge of the Kazuki World Cultural Exchange Center recognized me for my musical talent... so I can become a" scholar ". It's just like Matsushita's."

"No... no!

Old Matsushita...

"He said he studied music... it won't always be a success! Spend your life...... there's a chance you won't be able to spend a long time on music and still eat it with music! Artist scum like that...... there are many of them! I don't want to send my own granddaughter into such a nasty world that she might fail!

To the words of my grandfather...... the Matsushita sisters tremble again in dismay.

"So... you're going to stop the music and tell the Matsushita guys to do their pharmacist jobs?

Riko says... muffled.

"Oh, a pharmacist can get a dime in it...... I can definitely eat it"

"Heh... a pharmacist, is that so choroy business?

Stir...... mariko.

"You think it's Choroy? No business, you can't be choroy! Are you making fun of the fact that you work sweaty on your forehead!

Old Matsushita gets furious...

"Even a pharmacist, it's hard to run a business, isn't it? There's no such thing as a successful job, is there? If it were... Matsushita and the others would be the same as looking for a music department?!

Riko says...

"I failed to run my company...... I think the world is full of management scumbags!

"My little girl, don't say anything like I heard!!!

"Even your drugstore chain... can fail and go bankrupt! I know!

"There's no way I'm going to fail! I've been a pharmacist for over 40 years!

"You don't know where we're going! At least I will never invest in your company!

Maruko is... under the influence of Sister Song Yan Peach, she has been trading stocks from day to day.

"I don't need my company to invest in little girls like you!

Old Matsushita leaves it to anger to yell at Riko...

"You're listing your company on the stock market! Don't be silly!

Riko, don't move at all... fight back.

"The founder of a company... maybe you can't develop a small company to a large extent without being as vital as you and going through your will in good faith with everything... but if the head of the company is not such a narrow character, there will be no future development!

"Are you saying I'm wrong? I'm... over 70! I'm the proprietor who raised the company in one generation! To a daughter like you...... WHAT DOES YOU KNOW!!!

"The past is the past, isn't it! What I'm talking about is the future ahead!

The coming...... thing.

"My grandfather used to say... that the company that the founder grew in a generation would be jeopardized by staying at the top even when the founder was older. Especially a company like the charisma founder who decides to do anything alone at the top down can collapse all at once if an old manager makes a wrong decision... like you, the founder president who is over 70 but doesn't realize his senses are out of step with the times is the most dangerous... yes you said!!!

"Don't be stupid! Little girl!"

"Because you... are not willing to listen to people at all! I'm just calling it great, and I don't even understand what position I'm in right now! I think such a rude person would be disqualified as a business owner!

"It's you who's rude! Who do you think I am!!!

... Then.

"You are... who do you think I am? I'm Toriyama Riko. You should have said hello first. I mean, you're selling fights to Trii Electronics right now...... you know what I mean?!!

"... the Kazuki Group is also hostile."

To the words of Riko...... Sister Sho adds:

"Rukiko Kazuki is in her seat... because she's exposed to ugliness"

Ha ha, old Matsushita.

Maruko is the president of Trii Electronics, a global manufacturer of electrical equipment... Rukiko is the daughter of Kazuki's main house, a prestigious family that binds famous houses.

Rukiko was... silent, chilling, staring at the old man Matsushita.

"... Rukiko will report this ugliness of yours to Kazuki 'Your Excellency'... and I will, of course, tell my father. I will also speak to the various companies that I am close to!

Riko says...

"... so... are you threatening me?

Old Matsushita still has a vanity......

"I'm just gonna tell you the truth. With your attitude and words… it is true that you are uncomfortable with me and Rukiko!

Quiet back...... indoors.

The Matsushita sisters, upset and trembling... it's time for the limit.

"Riko... it's a stop"

I... stop the whole thing.

"Well done... thanks to Maruko, I largely found out about Mr. Matsushita"

That's right...... that is.

"Matsushita... because he wants to do whatever he wants, not ask the opinions of people like that... Matsushita's son had to leave the house to become independent."

I... see the Matsushita sisters.

Mayuki and Miki's father...... apart from my grandfather, I heard he was running a small trading company himself.

And... he recently died of illness.

"Your son and I haven't had a proper discussion in years or decades... have we?

Under his father, he wanted to inherit the drugstore chain... your son didn't want it.

Old Matsushita refused to let his life reign... I guess.

"... then what do you say it is?

Old Matsushita stares at me.

"That means... you've never properly talked to your granddaughter, Maki or Miki, has it? Mr. Mayuki has never told me about his future dreams... or..."

... probably.

"... you've never even heard Maki or Miki play their music... haven't you?

The Matsushita sisters...... look up and look at me.

"Never... so what do you say? It's not necessary, so I just didn't ask. If I have time to go to my granddaughter's concert, I'll spend that time in business. That's how I've built my place!

... I knew it, right?

"Well, let's hear it...... Sister Minaho"

I... look at Sister Minaho...

"Yeah... I already have it. This is a hotel."

Smile at me, Nico.

If it's a hotel... there's about a piano.

"Now, gentlemen... please be in the next room!

Sister Shang says...

"... I am"

Old Matsushita tried to refuse...

"Oh... don't fight, are you going to lose?

Maruko... stirs.

"We need to hear Maki here, Miki play... you lose. As human beings, as managers."

"Management won't matter!

"If you are a manager... I don't think you should offend me or Rukiko any more..."

In the words of Riko, Rukiko...

"... could you join me in listening to your grandchildren play?

Calm down...... say.

"It will only take a short time…"

Old Matsushita...

"If it's going to be over soon... let's be patient"

So... we were led by Sister Shang...

Move to the next room.

The next room was also a hotel banquet room… much bigger than the one I've been in.

And in that room......

There was a big grand piano... two in line.

"Jasmine... you too, play with Matsushita"

Sister Minaho...... orders Jasmine.

"But... I am"

Jasmine is a surprise... but I see Mayuki...

"Mayu and the others may not play well because they are nervous... Jasmine, help him"

I command you to do the same.

For Mayuki and Miki's sisters... Old Matsushita is a 'scary' being.

They even come to oppress themselves...... people who don't understand.

But because we are our own grandfather... at the bottom of our hearts, we also want to be understood.

Don't ruin this chance to play in front of my grandfather... with too much nervousness.

"In front of your grandfather, playing... this could be the first and last time, so don't regret it"

Even if Sister Minaho told me so... the Matsushita sisters still seemed lost.

My anxiety doesn't go away from my expression.

"Yes, Mayuki, Miki... please hold hands with me"

Luna... holds my sisters' hand.

"Look me in the eye... I breathe slowly... Shh, ha, shh, ha"

In "The Power of the Witch"... Mayuki and Miki are washed of their hearts every time they take a deep breath... Luna relaxes her sisters.

"Yes...... it's all right now. You can play as usual!

Luna... smiles.

Jasmine too...... be prepared......

"Shall I make it a Pahel Bell canon?

To the Matsushita sisters...... I suggested so.

"... right"

"Okay."

The Matsushita sisters also... seem to have bracketed their bellies.

Miki... opens the violin case.

"Dear Matsushita... Please sit here"

Mr. Kyoko, disguised as an old woman, recommended a chair to the old man Matsushita.

Old Matsushita who listens to his sisters play...... for a little while, you should relax.

"Ugh, um"

The old man Matsushita... sat in the chair prompted.

"So... here we go"

Masaki Matsushita... tells my grandfather.

Then look at Jasmine and her sister......

With both eyes, I signaled Mr. Mayuki.

… the performance begins.

……

Although I also felt it during my school music room during the day......

A truly talented musician plays... sounds different.

The sound emitted from the piano or violin is… transparent, pure and….

The sound itself...... beautiful.

It doesn't seem very high school and middle school playing.

The sound is thick...... I feel clean and vibrant.

This... is the performance you deserve to become the 'Scholar' of the 'Kazuki World Cultural Exchange Center'. Everyone, I think, plays so convincingly.

Although Mayuki and Miki's sisters played perfectly together, of course......

Jasmine and Mayuki are also... completely blended together.

Better than playing in the music room during the day...... even better.

Between the two...... trust and love were the performances to be felt.

... Eventually.

Three performances over five minutes were...... over.

……………

For a while, nobody opened their mouth.

In the aftermath of the music...... I was immersed.

And......

"... how was it, Matsushita"

Mr. Kyoko tells the old man Matsushita as… 'Chemin Koda'.

"" Kazuki World Cultural Exchange Center "will accept Masaki Matsushita and Miki as" Scholars ". We will support them to the fullest extent possible. That's already a matter of decision. Whatever your opinion, Matsushita... we will definitely raise you both to be active performers in the world...!

... Old Matsushita.

In the eyes of the old man Matsushita... tears were floating.

"... I am"

In a small voice...... say.

"I... can't I do anything for him? For my grandchildren......!

... That.

"... I didn't expect you to play so great... My grandson... I can't believe he plays music like this...!

Actually listening to the performance changed the mind of the old man Matsushita.

"I was... wrong. These kids should...... keep the music going. You are right......!

Because she looks like the old woman's "Chemin Koda"... Old Man Matsushita, honestly, says so.

"But... I... there's nothing more I can do for these kids? I............!!!
