「 Okay, I’ll investigate the Mizushima house 」
Shou-neechan replies after I talked about Karen.
「 I’ll also watch the situation in school 」
Ruriko said.
「 Yeah, we need information first 」
I said.
「 But, we need it soon. I want it done by next week 」
If not, it’ll be hard for Karen.
「 Yes, I also want to ease up Karen-san’s worries as soon as possible 」
Ruriko looked at Karen.
She’s with Agnes, Luna, and Koyomi-chan now so she should be fine.
「 Anyway, I can’t make a move until tomorrow’s stuff is over 」
We still have the school festival.
But in exchange, we’ve got a holiday on Monday, so we can make time.
We’re taking a break from school so we don’t have to make pastry for the next day too.
「 Also, those girls are still here 」
I look at the thirteen former assassins eating their dinner.
「 It’s interesting to see how everyone chose a different dish 」
Ruriko looked at the foreign girls and said.
True, it’s a buffet-style where you can pick and choose a variety of dishes, so it gives you an idea of their personality.
For example, Dolly asks Edie about each dish and eats only what suits her palate.
Anna sticks to her sister and listens to the conversation with Edie. Although she picks her meals.
She doesn’t talk to Edie.
As for the others, Penny Su, and a few girls decided to try out all the food for now it seems.
On the other hand, Anne Roze picked one meal based on appearance and ate only that.
Ososo only eats whatever Anya recommends to her.
Acme Iku meanwhile seems to be picking the unpopular choices.
Some never leave Edie, Anya, or Erica’s side, their language guides.
Some of the former girl assassins are sticking together.
Then some act alone, it’s all scattered.
It shows the personalities of the thirteen girls.
「 This is a good reference, Yo-chan 」
Nei came over and told me.
That’s right, what we observe from them is just a reference to understanding those girls.
You can’t figure out a person in just a short time, and relationships change quickly.
At least, there’s some point that you can understand.
「 As expected, Dolly’s probably the leader of the thirteen, but… 」
They also have factions.
「 Penny Su and Va Geena, then Acme Iku seem to be getting along. The three of them are always together. Ososo and Chiyo, are sticking with Erica. Dolly and Anna, then Yin Ran and Yin Lin are going with Anya. Anne Roze and Kunni goes to Edie. Then, Olga and Clito Lilith go alone 」
I see.
「 But, everyone’s eating just fine for now, right? 」
「 Their main choices are mostly poultry 」
Motoko came over and said.
「 If it’s cows or pigs, there might people who can’t eat it. Fishes too, seems like some of them can’t eat it 」
I see. You’ve thought that far.
「 Sushi’s available all over the world these days, but still, many people can’t eat raw fish 」
「 Yeah, in a Japanese sense, today’s a welcome party so if you make some sashimi platter or something, other girls might not eat it! 」
Nei said.
「 Chicken was a safe bet for the time being. I made a few other meat dishes as well 」
Yeah, those who eat all kinds of food without a problem are those without any food taboos.
Those who make careful choices have a lot of reason to do so.
「 I gave those girls an interview, but they don’t seem to be adhering to any particular religion 」
Shou-neechan said.
「 I guess it’s just simply the cultural difference among the girls. Maybe it’s the influence of the food of their mother cooked when they were a kid, or the food at the orphanage they lived after separating from their parents 」
So they’re just avoiding the ones they’re not used to eating?
「 How about the food in the organization when they were living there? 」
Nei asks Shou-neechan.
「 Well, the boss in their syndicate is an odd one. Apparently, she feeds the girls the same menu for 365 days straight. Also, it’s hospital food, saying that they only need minimal nutritional value 」
「 Huh, is that so? 」
「 It seems that their boss had no interest in food 」
「 Seems like the joy of eating has been robbed from those girls 」
Nei looked at the foreign girls.
「 The girls who are happily munching their food at least had an experience where they get food from when they lived with their mothers. As for those without experience… 」
Oh, I see. So that’s why Anne Roze eats the same food…
They don’t know what’s good to eat so they’re afraid.
「 Edie, tell Anne Roze to eat something else too. It’s not a balanced meal if she keeps eating the same meal. Tell her it’s an order 」
I told Edie.
「 Pick the things Anne Roze would eat, Edie 」
Since it’s Edie, I’m sure that she’s already guessed the cultural background of Anne Roze.
「 Got it, Darling, 」
Edie smiled and then passed the word to Anne Roze.
Anne Roze seems confused, but Edie points at several dishes and explained the ingredients used.
Then, Anne Roze tried out other dishes.
She timidly puts it in her mouth, then smiled.
Seems like she liked it.
Seeing what she’s doing, the other girls also tried out the same dish.
Then, they started a conversation.
Talking to their fellow foreigners, or even Edie and the translators, they talk about the cooking with a smile on their faces.
Edie points at Motoko and the girls.
She must be telling them that those girls cooked the meals.
「 And that’s how those girls will accept the kitchen crew, who weren’t in the bath earlier 」
Nei said.
「 You can’t help but love those who cook you a good meal 」
Right…
Motoko and Kurumi, Sakurako and Shie-san, Mariko and Haiji, and then Marika.
Edie’s introducing them to the foreigner girls one by one.
The atmosphere in the dining room becomes even more harmonious.
「 U-Uhm 」
Kurose Anju calls me from behind.
「 Hm, what’s up? 」
She’s having a gloomy expression.
「 I feel like I’m just placed here before I know it, but… 」
Kurose-san says while looking downwards.
「 Kuromori-sama owns the Kouzuki SS, right? Then, the famous Seki-san is also here, and then Edie-san and everyone has much better skills as a bodyguard than me 」
「 It’s not just being about a bodyguard, those girls are just better fighters 」
Shou-neechan looked at Edie and Mitama and said.
「 I think so too. So, uhm 」
She looks at me with a serious eye.
「 Am I even needed in this mansion? 」
I replied right away.
「 Yes. That’s the reason why I took Anju from the Ishigami house 」
I speak as clearly as I can.
「 But, I… 」
「 Oh, you’re not confident in yourself, I see 」
Shou-neechan smiled wryly.
「 You don’t have to worry too much about that. Come here Haiji 」
I called Haiji
「 What is it? 」
Haiji comes over right away.
「 Haiji, you’ve been helping out in Nagisa’s flower shop for a while now… 」
I speak to Haiji.
「 By that, I mean, I want Haiji to learn about the other angles in this world by having varied experiences, but… 」
Haiji’s a professional bodyguard at a young age.
I think that’s amazing, but Haiji has a bad habit of looking at things only in one direction and making a decision out of that.
That’s why I had her help out in Nagisa’s shop and with the housework in the mansion.
I had her experience life apart from being a bodyguard.
「 Yes, I discovered a lot. Especially in dealing with Nagisa-sama’s customers, it was educational 」
Haiji changed by serving customers in a flower shop.
「 Haiji, you can continue your path in business if you want. To be honest, I think that Haiji’s got talent in there 」
Haiji tried to start a business trying to introduce the young ladies to some bodyguards from the academy she graduated from.

She’s got some commercial ambitions too.
「 Or, do you want to stick with your original intent and go down the path to becoming a professional bodyguard? You don’t have to decide right now, but do think about it 」
Haiji looked into my eyes.
「 I think I still want to be a bodyguard 」
She replies.
「 I’m interested in business, but I want to live my life as a bodyguard that protects Kuromori-sama and the family 」
Haiji’s eyes show seriousness.
「 I finally found something that I want to protect for the rest of my life 」
「 I see 」
I looked at Shou-neechan.
「 Shou-neechan, can we give Haiji special training in Kouzuki SS? 」
「 Sure, we’ll do that. I’ll raise her to take my baton, taking in charge of the Kouzuki SS on-site 」
Shou-neechan smiles.
「 Yeah, Michi, Edie, Mitama, and Kinuka are strong, but they’re the type of girls you want to be fighting in front, leading the others 」
I’m sure they could do it if they’re forced to, but they’re basically girls who could kick the enemy’s ass on their own.’
「 Yes, I think that Haiji-san is a bodyguard that can manage an organization 」
If Haiji’s got talents suited for business and she wants to be a bodyguard.
「 I’ll start teaching her the on-site stuff starting tomorrow. Eventually, I’ll have you study at the Academy in Europe where I graduated. Oh right, Haiji-san already finished the short-term course. Then, you’ll take the regular course this time 」
「 Not right now. Maybe after two to three years 」
I said from the side.
「 I’m sure that by that time, other girls in the family will be studying abroad. I want them to go with her. I want Haiji to be the bodyguard of the girl that’ll study abroad
「 Certainly 」
Haiji replied to me.
「 And so, Anju, do you want to take the same special training as Haiji? 」
I looked at Kurose-san and said.
「 M-Me? 」
「 By the way, the teachers in that special training would be Reika and me. Do you not want that? 」
Shou-neechan smiles.
「 No, that’s not the case…I-Is it okay for me to do that? 」
「 It’s much more effective in learning to have two people instead of just one. What about you Haiji-san? 」
「 I’ll follow as Kuromori-sama says 」
Haiji agreed.
「 No, it’s your choice. If you don’t want it, then it can’t be helped 」
「 N-No, it’s not like that! If I’m going to take lessons then I’ll do my best! 」
Kurose-san is an honest girl so if she says that, then I believe her.
「 Then, good luck. You got this 」
I ended the conversation.
「 Y-Yes, I understand! 」
Thus, Haiji and Kurose Anju-san will study to become commanders among the bodyguards.
Yeah, that’s good.
「 Uhm, I’m Adelheid Katori. You can call me Haiji 」
Haiji explains to Kurose-san
「 I-I’m Kurose Anju. P-Please take care of me! 」
Kurose-san explains in panic.
「 I’ve given my consent to take you to the training with us, but… 」
Haiji…
「 But, you need to accomplish your family duties first. Good luck! 」
She looks at Kurose-san with a straight face.
「 Family duties? 」
Kurose-san looks puzzled.
「 It means having sex with him 」
Shou-neechan looked at me with a smile.
「 Yes, having sexual relationships with Kuromori-sama means that you’re a member of the family, and the opposite is also true 」
「 Wait, you too? 」
Kurose-san is surprised that I already had sex with Haiji.
「 Isn’t that obvious? 」
「 Ah, I-I see… 」
「 I can’t do my job unless my mind and body are devoted 」
Haiji told Kurose-san.
「 Don’t worry, she’ll get it before her training starts Haiji 」
I said.
「 I’ll have sex with you too, Anju, get it? 」
「 Ah, o-okay… 」 I-I see. I understand 」
Kurose-san replies reluctantly.
「 You two should eat as well. Talk a lot and get along 」
I send them off.
「 Yes. 」
「 Ah, yes, I understand! 」
The two left and headed to the food table.
「 Well, those two won’t feel disheartened halfway 」
Shou-neechan said.
「 Kuromori-sama, I’ll play something 」
Marika came over and said.
「 Yeah, please do. It would be great if it’s a fun tune 」
「 Yes 」
Marika sits on the electronic organ in the dining room.
Then.
「!!! 」
The former assassins focused on Marika’s musical performance.
Oh, I know this music.
It’s the Saints that are coming to Town.
The bright music adds color to the enjoyable meal.
◇ ◇ ◇
After dinner, we split into three groups.
The clean-up group is still in the kitchen.
The bodyguard group is going to the basement.
Then, the thirteen foreigners and my group went to the bakery.
「 You go there, prepare for tomorrow 」
Katsuko-nee gives instructions.
On the right side of the bakery are Ai and me, taking the lead, preparing the bread for the second day of the school festival tomorrow. Megu, Mana, Arisa, Tsukiko, and Yomi are here.
「 Well then, we’ll begin our baking lessons! 」
On the left side is Katsuko-nee teaching the thirteen former assassins.
They have Anya, Erica, then Agnes, Luna, and Koyomi-chan.
The former assassins have loosened up, so it should be fine even if there are fewer bodyguards around.
However, the shrine maidens are sticking around.
「 Anyway, we’re going to have these girls make some simple bread 」
Katsuko-nee said with a smile.
It’s more of a pie since they don’t have time for fermentation.
Anyway, they’ll bake for two to three hours, and then experience eating the pastry they made.
Making them understand that they can do other things than assassination.
「 I’ll also try it out 」
Kyouko-san said and entered the bakery.
「 Huh, you can bake, Kyouko-san? 」
I asked in surprise.
「 Of course. I mean, there’s nothing I can’t do you know~ 」
Kyouko-san said and then went to the foreign girls.
「 Yes, Kyouko-san’s great at baking 」
Katsuko-nee said with a smile.
「 Obviously. I can’t be an international felon if I can’t even bake a good loaf! 」
I don’t get it.
But I’m already used to Kyouko-san.
So she can make bread too.
The foreign girls are surprised by Kyouko-san’s appearance.
「 I’ll be the example for these girls, that way, they can do it without resistance too, see? 」
I see.
There wasn’t anyone among the thirteen who looked enthusiastic about baking bread.
Even the martial arts girls seem interested in how Kyouko-san makes bread
「 I’ll make whatever bread I want so Katsuko, just teach them the beginner course 」
「 Yes, I’ll do just that. Anya-chan, Edie-chan, please translate for me 」
The bakery starts working.
