Pure Love Insult Complex Chapter 1180

Chapter 1180. Short Series A / Human Success Part 3

Our car was parked on the underground parking lot in the hotel of the Kouzuki group.

Oh, this floor in the underground parking lot has no other cars parked other than ours and Jii-chans.

They emptied the whole floor since Jii-chan is visiting.

As expected of Kouzuki SS.

Jii-chan gets off the black car, sends us a glance, smiled without saying anything, and went into the VIP elevator with his guards and went up.

Among the guards, Yazawa-san comes to us.

You lot should come with me

We followed Yazawa-san and waited for the regular elevator to come down.

Sorry, there are subordinates around so Kakka had to go first

Well yeah.

Jii-chans the head of the Kouzuki house after all.

This is an establishment of the Kouzuki house so he has to make a clear distinction.

Papa!

Agnes clings to me worriedly.

Its okay, were coming too

Luna cheers her up.

Well, this place is under Kouzuki SS control so there should be no problem.

Pon!

The elevators here.

Lets go

Yazawa-san got on the elevator and pressed the open switch.

T-Thanks

I pulled Agnes and got on the elevator.

Katsuko-nee, Luna, Yomi, and Koyomi-chan are here.

Yazawa-san pressed floor 47.

The elevator door closed.

So, what are we doing?

I asked Yazawa-san while were going up on the elevator.

Yazawa-san looked at me and smiled.

Well, its just a simple thing. Although, its important for the Kouzuki SS. Well, Kakka will tell you the details

A job for me, from the Kouzuki SS?

Kakka gave his orders, so I agree with your takeover on Kouzuki SS> Its for the better future of Misuzu-sama, Ruriko-sama, and Yoshiko-sama too. However, nobody other than me knows much about you

Yeah.

This is another test.

I have to show my qualities as the owner of Kouzuki SS to its people.

Whats wrong?

Agnes looked up at me.

It seems that I have my entrance exam too

I smiled at Agnes.

What kind of entrance exam?

Well, its for a new job other than the bakery

Thats my response for now.

Really?

Dont worry, Sensei will surely pass no matter what test it is!

Yomi smiled at me.

Well, I hope so.

Its going to be okay. Im sure

Koyomi-chan read my thoughts and replied.

Oh, I cant show a timid attitude to the shrine maidens.

Yes, thats right Nii-san. Fight!

Luna smiled.

Youll manage, youve always been clearing your fate using your own strength

Katsuko-nee added.

The elevator arrived on floor 47 without stopping on any other floors.

I think that someone in the control room of the hotel is watching us.

This was the hotel where we fought Cesario Viola half a year ago after all.

And so, we reached the floor without stopping on other floors.

Well, its this way. Lets hurry

The elevator door opens and Yazawa-san leads us.

Everyone, go off first

Ill press the switch this time and get off after confirming that everyones out of the elevator.

If I get off first, someone could suddenly close while someones still here and then bring them to another floor.

Hmm, youre still cautious

Yazawa-san smiled.

If its a test, then its already started.

If thats the case, even if were in a hotel thats under Kouzuki SS control, then I should behave that were surrounded by enemies.

Its not a problem just for me after all

My assessment is tied to Misuzu and Ruriko.

I have to be cautious.

Hm!

It seems that my tensions passed to Agnes too.

Anyway, lets not make Kakka wait. This way

We followed after Yazawa-san.

The hotel corridor has uniformed guards from the Kouzuki SS stationed at every point.

Oh yeah, Seki-kun is waiting for the classes to finish and will bring Misuzu-sama and the girls here

Yazawa-san told me while still walking.

Misuzu and the girls are coming here too?

So thats why Shou-neechan stayed at the school.

Its this room

Yazawa-san knocks on the door.

Choumoto-san opened the door.

He probably peeked at the hole and confirmed that its Yazawa-san.

Kakkas inside

Yeah, good job

Yazawa-san goes inside.

We also enter the room timidly.

I see. Theres another room inside.

Yazawa-san knocked on that door too.

Its Yazawa

Come in

That was Jii-chans voice.

Excuse us

Yazawa-san opens the door.

Wow!!

Inside is a beautifully lit and clean room.

There are also gorgeous furnishings around. This is a VIP room.

Ootoku-san is standing by next to the wall.

Then.

Facing Jii-chan is another person.

Its a white-haired thin old man.

Hes smiling but his eyes look sharp.

Agnes trembled, clings to me.

Uhm, hello. Nice to meet you

I greeted him.

H-Hello!

Hello

Excuse us

Pleased to meet you

Hello

Agnes, Katsuko-nee, Koyomi-chan, and Luna greeted the old man.

Theyre all stiff.

Kouzuki, who are these?

The old man called Jii-chan "Kouzuki"

Oh, that ones the man who snatched my granddaughter. Then, that that blonde girl is an illegitimate child of my son

Jii-chan smiled, pointing at Agnes.

Is that what Jii-chan said during the interview about Agnes at that school?

Well, that was the hint I gave them so they think of it that way. She couldve been my illegitimate child, but thatll bring some trouble differently

If rumors of Agnes being Jii-chans illegitimate child spreads out. There will be more heirs.

Im sure that people with weird intentions will come after Agnes.

I havent given official recognition, besides, if shes an illegitimate child of my late son, then we can create lies as much as we want

Jii-chan smiled.

As always, youre such a rascal, Kouzuki

The old man laughed.

That smile made Agnes and the girls nervous.

And then, the other girls are her bodyguard and her attendants?

Well, thats how it will be

The old man looked at Luna and the girls.

Oh, if theyre that cute, then you couldve just asked me to make them my illegitimate children

Huh?

Oh? I couldve asked you and others as their sponsor as an option. Ill do that next time

Is there a next time?

Depends on this boy

Jii-chan looked at me.

I see. Then let me take care of it when the time comes

The old man and Jii-chan laughed out loud.

Whats their relationship, I wonder?

U-Uhm

As soon as I spoke, the two old men looked at me.

Im sorry for the late introductions, Im Kuromori Kou

Agnes

Agnes bows after me.

Then.

Luna, hurry and make your greetings

No, uhm, were just

Yomi speaks.

Theyre attendants and guards, so they have no need to introduce themselves unless the other party asks.

Theyre just their Masters accessories.

It would be impolite for them to introduce themselves every single time.

But.

Just do it, introduce yourselves

I ordered them.

These girls have to be treated like people too.

Yomi and the girls are attendants of Agnes only when going to that school.

But the truth is that theres no master-servant relationship.

Yomi, Luna, Koyomi-chan, and Katsuko-nee are all my family.

Okay. Im Takakura Yomiko

Takakura Luna

Koyomi

The three bowed their heads.

Yes. Its an honor to meet the renowned Takakura shrine maidens. To think that theyre all such cute girls

The old man knows about the Takakura shrine?

Katsuko-chan, you should make your greetings too

Agnes said, but

It has been a while

Katsuko-nee bowed to the old man.

Katsuko-nee knows this man? Then that means

He must have been a customer of the Black Forest before?

Indeed, Im glad that youre in good health. Your face has lost its harshness. You look much more refreshed. It seems that youre living your life to the fullest now

Yes, thank you

Katsuko-nee replied to the old man.

Kou, this man is

Jii-chan tries to introduce the old man.

No, no, Kouzuki, dont finish that

He stops Jii-chan.

My name is Kira. Ive been granted the title of a monk when I went past 80. Despite having my hair

A monk?

You see, when this one became a monk, he shaved his head, but when he peeked at the mirror, he said that being bald doesnt suit him, so he started growing it out again

Huh

Geez, what a degenerate monk

Jii-chan smiled wryly.

Dont say that. Styling has its importance

Thats just worldly desires, and youre a monk

I became a monk to erase my evil passions, but itll take me forty to fifty years of practice to do that

You cant live that long, can you?

So this is okay. Im a priest, yet, covered with worldly desires

The white-haired old man, named Kira, said and laughed.

Katsuko-kun, call the room service and give the children something sweet to eat. Yazawa, wheres the menu?

Its here

Yazawa-san opens the writing desk and takes out the hotels menu.

Back then, Misuzu and Ruriko often come here before returning home from school. They eat sweets on that table there. Rurikos favorite dish is

RUriko-sama prefers this tea longue deluxe parfait

Yazawa-san replies immediately

Yes, that one. So, you should pick whatever you like

Agnes looked at me.

Sure, go ahead. Jii-chan said its okay

Is it really okay?

Yeah, Jii-chan is family too, right?

I said.

He even went to the interview just for Agnes earlier

Thats right

Agnes speaks to Jii-chan.

Thank you for earlier! Im sorry for the late thanks

Thank you

Luna and the girls followed and thanked Jii-chan too.

No, it was fun for me too. Ive become a guardian of such cute children

Jii-chan smiled.

Thats right, Kouzuki-ojiichan took care of us a lot during the interview!

Agnes?

So, weve been in your care already, and then, were also treated with sweets, we feel bad for that

She gave me an earnest look.

Agnes heard that the sweets in hotels like this cost a lot!

Err.

Lets leave the one who she heard that knowledge from behind for now.

Dont mind the money. I have more money than you could ever think

Jii-chan said with a smile.

Besides, you see. I love watching cute girls eat delicious food happily

Jii-chan replied. Agnes got dumbfounded.

Agnes, do you like delicious food?

I do

And, you girls are cute. So, go eat as food as you like to make me happy

Uuu

Agnes looked at me.

Yeah, its okay, Agnes. Go eat what you want

I told her.

Really?

Yeah, Jii-chan said that its okay, dont hold back

Luna too?

Luna and the girls too

Then.

Okay, desuno!

Agnes replied.

Thank you Ojii-chan. Ill eat

She bows her head to Jii-chan.

Luna, Koyomi-chan, lets

Luna and the girls too

Then well take the offer

Thank you very much!

T-Thank you

They bow their heads to Jii-chan

Go ahead

Jii-chan smiled happily.

What should we eat? Whats delicious?

Agnes goes to Luna and the girls.

Hmm, those girls are well raised

Old man Kira is impressed.

Right? Those are good girls

Jii-chan brags to Kira.

Katsuko-kun, take the children with you to that table. Kou, well talk

Yes, Kouzuki-sama. Girls, this way

What about Papa?

I got to talk to Jii-chan for a bit

Yes. We should go there so we dont disturb him

Katsuko-nee brings Agnes and the girls to the long table on the window-side.

Oh, of course, you can ask for what you want too, Katsuko-kun

Jii-chan told Katsuko-nees back.

Youre still at the age where parfait suits you

Katsuko-chan, lets eat parfait!

Agnes told Katsuko-nee.

I guess so. Then Ill take one too

Katsuko-oneesama, this is the menu

Yomi hands the menu she received from Yazawa-san to Katsuko-nee.

Well then, Kou, sit here

Jii-chan presented a seat next to him.

Excuse me

I told old man Kira and sat down.

What did you hear from Yazawa?

What? The job?

Well, its about a job from Kouzuki SS tasked for me, and that its important?

I replied.

Since its a test, its a task for me.

Thats right. I want you to do something

Jii-chan smiled.

Sure, anything. What is it?

I replied immediately.

Jii-chan.

You see, someone with my status always has people who ask to talk directly to me every day

Yeah.

Well, most of them only want my support, thats why they want to meet me. More than half of them are looking for money, some of them make crazy demands like "invest in my business," or "donate money for social organizations," or even "donate" to some unknown organizations

Yeah, everyone knows that Jii-chans rich after all.

If its not about money, then, they will ask to introduce them to someone influential or recommend them to a government agency, or international organization. What a selfish bunch

Jii-chans the head of the Kouzuki house, the group that ties the nobility of Japan together. And he owns huge enterprise groups.

He has the honor, fortunes, and connections to influential people in politics and business.

Of course, some of them are people I have to meet for the sake of the Kouzuki house and the Kouzuki group. Some come with genuinely meaningful business plans, and sometimes, you have to give a donation to socialize with people. Those meetings are inevitable, but 80% of them are worthless, and a waste of time to talk to

Well yeah.

There are a lot of scoundrels who want Jii-chans money.

Naturally, I refuse meeting with suspicious people from the beginning. Or should I say that I dont meet with people without any introducer at all? Thats the safest way

Jii-chan said.

But then again, there are those peculiar referrals

Peculiar?

People from the nobility and managers of other companies ask me saying "theyre this kind of person, meet them," but of course, even with such introductions, I dont meet with overly suspicious people. However

What?

There are a lot of complex cases. Some make plans to meet me by getting to know my acquaintances. Its not overly suspicious, but its not a clear identity either. Even if I refuse, I would have to do it in the face of the referrer so I cant just say no for no reason

Theres no definite proof that theyre suspicious people, but since theres a referrer, then hes forced to meet them.

In such cases, it would be difficult to refuse

Umu, I can understand that

Old man Kira nodded.

In such cases, what do you do, Kira?

Jii-chan asked the white-haired monk.

In my case, I first have my secretary meet them instead of me. My secretary will check on their character, and if theyre worthy to meet with me, and if they are, then we can meet up

I wonder if this old man is from a nobility? Or maybe, hes an owner of an enterprise.

Anyway, if they can show results when talking to my secretary, then that saves the face of the referrer

The old man said. Jii-chan.

Thats how I basically do it too. However, I give that role, not to my secretary but Yazawa

Yazawa-sans the one meeting with people in place of Jii-chan.

He makes the decision whether theyre worthy of meeting with Jii-chan.

Meaning, to the Kouzuki house, this role is the job of Kouzuki SS

One of the duties of Jii-chans guards.

So, I want to pass Yazawas job to you, Kou

To me?

That said, the people who want to meet with me are in this hotel. Youre going to meet with those people, and make your decisions on whether theyre worthy to meet me or not

Im checking people?

Of course, you cant just say "good," or "bad." Youll have to be clear with what made you decide whether you pass or reject them from meeting me

Umu, indeed. If you cant verbalize how you feel from the other person, we wont be able to understand

Old man Kira told me.
