Pure Love ✕ Insult Complex

Chapter 1247. Sakurako – The Young Lady That Wants to do Prostitution

「 Wait for a moment 」

The man in a black suit told Rei-chan and went inside.

This room is also used for Jii-chan’s private talks.

Therefore, the corridor connects to the bodyguard room, and their master’s room is deeper.

「 That wasn’t our bodyguard. Is it from the Kanou house? 」

Momoko-neechan asks Sakurako-san.

「 No, I think Father hired him just to come here 」

Sakurako-san replies.

「 Perhaps Shie’s father, Shiranui-san is with Father, but… 」

Oh, Shiranui-san’s been serving the Kanou house as bodyguards generations ago.

「 But currently, Shiranui-san’s the only bodyguard of Father’s 」

「 Oh, I see. The Kanou house’s head is coming to a Kouzuki house owned facility so he can’t show up with just one bodyguard 」

Whenever Jii-chan’s moving around, he always has several teams of bodyguards with him.

That’s right, not only some teams guard Jii-chan directly but also teams who go-ahead to the destination to check for any danger, and teams from the other side to deal with any tails.

I haven’t met the guards of Kaan-san, but Kaan house should have the same security.

Kouzuki and Kaan house boast to have similar family status and influence.

If that’s the case, the Kanou house’s head, who is in the same family status as the Kouzuki and Kaan house…

He has to match with the two other houses.

「 But, Fujimiya-san 」

Momoko-neechan looked at Rei-chan.

「 Would you hire someone as a temporary bodyguard in the Kouzuki SS? 」

「 We don’t do that for people of his level 」

Rei-chan smiled.

「 Right, do you get it Kou-chan? 」

Momoko-neechan turned to me this time.

「 Let’s say that you have to go to a party where all the VIPs have gathered, and everyone else is going to the venue with their expensive private cars. But, you don’t have your own. So, inevitably, you’ll use a rental car. Well, it’s the same case, isn’t it? 」

Sure.

It’s just a metaphor where the bodyguards are replaced by high-class cars.

「 In that case, what kind of car you rent from the agency is important. You’ll understand their sense. If you come to the venue where other people are coming with Benz and Royce’s and you come in a commercial light van or something, then you would be ridiculed saying “Any car will do for you it seems” 」

Momoko-neechan said with a smile.

Meaning, the bodyguards Jii-chan and Kaan-san have with them are super luxury cars that have great price and performance for premium value…

Then Sakurako-san’s father, the head of the Kanou house just hired some black suit bodyguards to add numbers or clunky cars.

「 If it were Kou-chan, what will you do at that time? You have to attend such a party, and yet, you don’t have a car 」

Momoko-neechan asks me.

「 It’s obvious, I’ll just look if I have an acquaintance among the party-goers and hop on to their car 」

I replied.

「 Then, if I don’t know anyone, then I’ll just take ordinary public transport. If I have money, then a taxi will do. It’s meaningless to show off for something so pointless 」

「 Well, that’s how ordinary people think 」

Momoko-neechan looked at Sakurako-san.

「 But, in such situations, you can’t bow down to other family and ask them to give you a ride, and you can’t just avoid using a car, readying for the humiliation in the party, that’s my father 」

Sakurako-san told me.

「 Father acts according to what he thinks is suitable for the family status of the Kanou house 」

「 It’s all just formalities, there’s no substance 」

I see.

I now get what kind of person Sakurako-san’s father is.

「 In the end, he would hire temporary employees, use people of that caliber. I cry for the Kanou house’s social standing 」

Momoko-neechan said.

Then…

「 I’m very sorry to keep you waiting 」

As expected, a good physique man with gray hair and a black suit, different from the one earlier, has shown up.

The gray-haired man looked at Sakurako-san, then…

「 Sakurako-sama, everyone’s been worried about you 」

「 I’m sorry, Shiranui-san 」

Then that means this is Shiranui Shie-san’s father.

「 Shie, why did you let this happen when you’re with her? 」

Shiranui-san scolds his daughter, but…

「 Shiranui-san, can we put your talk with her for later? 」

Momoko-neechan stopped Shiranui-san.

「 They’re waiting, aren’t they? Grandfather and Sakurako’s parents 」

「 Y-Yes, I’ll guide you 」

Shiranui-san’s no match against Momoko-neechan’s flashiness and political pressure.

「 Let’s go everyone 」

Momoko-neechan called out to us to prevent Shiranui-san from stopping Katsuko-nee and me from entering.

I feel that this Shiranui-san is also a hard-headed person who can only see things at his convenience.

「 P-Please come in 」

It’s like we’re guided to their home.

But this is a Kouzuki house owned facility.

Kanou house is just borrowing a room in the hotel from the Kouzuki house.

No, following the events, it’s not Jii-chan who loaned the room to the head of the Kanou house but Kaan-san.

If that’s the case, then it would be wrong for Shiranui-san, the guard of the Kanou house to run the place.

Knock, knock.

Shiranui-san knocks on the door where the head of the Kanou house and Kaan-san are in.

Click.

The door opens from the inside.

Oh, some people I don’t know.

A man in his thirties wearing a suit.

I can tell his atmosphere. He’s a bodyguard too.

Furthermore, he’s quite strong.

I’m in 6th kyu in Kudou arts so I know that much.

「 Oh, you’ve come too, Chris 」

Momoko-neechan looked at the young man and said.

「 Kou-chan, I’ll introduce him to you. Everyone else already knows him, but this man is the current chief of bodyguards for Grandfather, Hans Christopher Anderson 」

He’s a foreigner?

No, he’s a handsome man, but his hair, skin, even eye color is definitely Japanese to me.

「 Good Day, Kuromori-sama. I’m Yamada Taichi 」

The young man introduced himself.

Huh? Yamada Taichi?

「 Errr, the Chris thing is… 」

「 Of course, it’s the nickname I came up for him 」

Momoko-neechan speaks brightly.

Huh.

Then that means.

「 Could you be Yamada Umeko-san’s brother? 」

「 Yes, my sister’s been in your care it seems 」

Yamada Taichi bows his head to me.

Oh, on the other side of the door that remained open behind us…

Michi, Shiranui Shie-san, and Sebastianus (Yamada Umeko-san) are all showing a sorry expression.

「 Oh, I’m Kuromori Kou, I’m the one who has been in your sister’s care 」

I bow my head as well.

「 Come in, your presence is requested 」

Yamada Taichi opens the door.

Oh, inside the room I see Kaan-san sitting, then a couple who are about 40 and 50 years old.

「 Grandfather, excuse us 」

Momoko-neechan bows her head.

Misuzu, Rei-chan, and Katsuko-nee also bowed with her.

So, I followed suit.

「 Hmm, call in the girls in the corridor inside the other room. Have them guard Ruriko-kun. We might have a long conversation 」

The old Kaan told Michi and the girls in the corridor.

Glancing back, I saw Michi, Yamada-san, and Shiranui Shie-san bowing to the old Kaan from the corridor.

「 Shiranui-kun, no, I meant the father 」

「 M-Me too? 」

Shiranui-san’s father tries to talk back to the old Kaan.

「 I think you already know but don’t interrogate your daughter while we’re in a conversation 」

Old Kaan told Shirani-san with a sharp look.

「 What your daughter has seen and heard might be confidential to the Kouzuki house. I forbid you to take any conversation with your daughter until I give my permission. Do you understand? 」

「 Y-Yes, as Kaan-sama desires 」

Shiranui-san is a bodyguard of the Kanou house

Normally, he doesn’t need to follow orders from the head of Kaan house.

However, seeing the fortunes of Kanou house;

I can imagine that they’re receiving support from the Kouzuki and Kaan house.

Shiranui-san knows that, and so he can’t defy Kaan-san.

However.

「 Taichi, watch over Shiranui-kun. Don’t leave that room. Don’t let him make contact with the girls 」

Kaan-san ignored Shiranui-san and told his bodyguard.

「 No, uhm, Kaan-sama? I’ve promised to follow Kaan-sama’s orders already… 」

Shiranui-san’s looking confused.

「 You’re a servant from another family, and you’re also a bodyguard, do you really think I would trust you completely? Of course not. Bodyguards have their job to protect their Master, and so they’ll use whatever method to accomplish their task, that’s how I see them. Are you not like that? 」

「 I-I… 」

「 I’m not criticizing you. Anyway, I’ll let Taichi watch over you. Hey, you girls should go to Ruriko-kun’s room. Then, lock the door until you’re told to open it 」

Old Kaan told Michi, but…

The three bodyguard girls didn’t reply to the Old Kaan, nor they didn’t go to the room where Ruriko and Michi are.

They remain bowing to the old Kaan, not moving.

「 Michi, do as Kaan-sama says 」

Misuzu told Michi first.

「 Certainly, Misuzu-oneesama. Well then, I’ll do as Kaan-sama says

Michi bows her head to the old Kaan and replies.

「 Sebastianus, do as Grandfather tells you 」

Momoko-neechan told her bodyguard.

「 We have Chris and Fujimiya-san here so there’s no problem with our security. You should keep Ruriko-san safe, okay? 」

「 Certainly 」

Sebastianus (Yamada Umeko-san) replied to her Master.

Lastly.

「 Shie too. Go with Michi-san. Okay? 」

Sakurako-san told Shiranui Shie-san.

「 Kaan-sama gave Shiranui-san orders, but Shie, you’re not allowed to tell Shiranui-san anything until you’re given permission. Make sure nobody comes to Ruriko-sama’s room 」

Ruriko’s room next door.

The camera bag with recordings of Sakurako-san’s sex with me.

The bedsheets with Sakurako-san’s virgin blood, are some items dangerous when found.

「 Yes, Sakurako-ojousama. I understand 」

Shie-san also agreed to her Master.

「 They don’t accept orders from anyone but their Masters. No matter who it is. Isn’t that the basics of being a bodyguard? Shiranui-kun, those girls understand what it means to be a bodyguard more than you do 」

Old Kaan said.

「 I-I’m very sorry 」

Shiranui-san apologized.

「 Anyway, you should go first 」

「 Go, Michi 」

「 Sebastianus 」

「 Shie, go 」

Following Kaan-san and their Master’s instructions;

「 Excuse us 」

「 Excuse us 」

「 Excuse us 」

Michi bowed her head again and closed the door to the corridor.

It’s to make sure that Shiranui-san doesn’t know where they will stay.

Anyway, the route leading to the corridor is blocked.

Now, the guards’ room and the room inside are connected through an open door.

「 Well then, you should come in. We can’t talk like this 」

Old Kaan told us.

「 From here on, the bodyguards don’t need to listen to our conversation. Taichi, stay in that room. Fujimiya-kun too, and Shiranui-kun, keep an eye on his subordinate 」

Oh, in addition to the man in black from earlier, there are two other similarly dressed men in this room.

These are the temporary bodyguards Kanou house employed.

As for the Kaan house, there’s only Yamada Taichi.

There should be others outside, but Kaan-san only brought Yamada-san to this floor.

As for the Kouzuki house, we just have Rei-chan.

Although, I meant that as someone who’s in this room.

Multiple Kouzuki SS personnel are in this hotel so she can always call for help anytime.

「 Shiranui-kun, with you and your men combined, you have four people, That’s double Taichi and Fujimiya-kun. You shouldn’t do anything reckless. Taichi and Fujimiya-kun are still ten times stronger than Shiranui-kun 」

Kaan-san said.

He’s considering that Shiranui-san might do something so he’s keeping a check on her.

「 You, take care of the rest 」

He told Yamada Taichi with a smile.

「 Everyone, please come in 」

Rei-chan told us with a smile.

「 Well, allow us 」

Momoko-neechan entered the room first.

「 Excuse us 」

Misuzu followed after Momoko-neechan

「 Sakurako, let’s go 」

「 Y-Yes 」

Mariko holds Sakurako-san’s hand and entered the room.

Last, Katsuko-nee and I.

「 Okay, why don’t we go in too, Katsuko-nee. Rei-chan, take care of the rest 」

「 Please leave it to me, Take care of Katsuko-san 」

「 Yeah, I know 」

Then…

「 Can you give me a moment? 」

Sakurako-san’s father, who has been quiet all the time, speaks up.

「 This has indeed been Kanou house’s fault this time. I’m very sorry to have caused inconvenience to Kaan-sama and Kouzuki-sama 」

The current head of the Kanou house speaks in a dry voice.

「 Therefore, I thought that it would just be Kaan-sama and Momoko-san, Kouzuki-sama’s Misuzu-san who will be in the conversation. Mariko-kun is my sister’s daughter, so it could be reassuring to have her with Sakurako. So, I’ll accept that she’s in the conversation. However!! 」

Kanou Noriaki stared at Katsuko-nee and me.

「 Who are you? 」

We?

Oh, right.

He doesn’t know us.

We’re not from the nobility either.

I’m Misuzu’s fiance, but not many people know about me.

「 I’m the current head of the Kanou house, but I don’t know who you are. I don’t know who you are, and what’s your objective in getting involved with Sakurako. I don’t want someone I don’t know to be in a discussion that’s important to our house

Mr. Kanou speaks clearly.

Err.

So that means I have to introduce myself.

「 Uhm, I’m Kuromori Kou. And then I… 」

Anyway, I tried to speak up, then…

「 I’m not asking you!!! I’m saying that outsiders aren’t allowed to enter!! This is my declaration as the head of the Kanou house!! 」

Oh, he’s clearly not going to listen and he’s going to drive Katsuko-nee and me away.

「 Oh? You speak that you’re in nobility, but, are you even a noble person? 」

Katsuko-nee said with a smile.

「 What do you mean by that? 」

Kanou Noriaki asks Katsuko-nee angrily.

「 Nobles, furthermore, the heads know who I am. To think that you don’t know who I am, that’s improbably in the nobility 」

Katsuko-nee was the number one prostitute of the Black Forest Brothel until autumn last year.

Some of the VIPs in the politics and business were former clients of Katsuko-nee.

「 Indeed. I know who she is 」

Kaan-san said with a smile.

「 The fact that you don’t know about her means that you have been cut off from the other families for the past few years as a member of the nobility 」

Katsuko-nee’s prostitute era was five years ago.

Back then, Kanou house was already in tight finance.

That’s why Mr. Kanou hasn’t come to the Black Forest brothel.

Even if a friend invited him inside, Kanou house doesn’t have money to buy prostitutes from the Black Forest.

And since he never visited the brothel, other families never told him about the prostitutes of Black Forest.

The Black Forest is an illegal prostitution ring after all.

「 You’re just a head of nobility in name more than you think. What a hopeless man 」

Katsuko-nee said and entered the room calmly.

「 Dear, come in too 」

She turned to me and smiled.

Good.

I entered the door.

「 Close it. Once we close the door, no one outside can hear what we talk about 」

Old Kaan told me.

I…

「 Rei-chan, take care of the rest 」

「 I know 」

I’m asking Rei-chan to take care of Shiranui-san and the temporary guards.

I don’t know if I could even trust Yamada Taichi at all.

But still.

I closed the door.

The electronic lock made its sound.
