hem returned their greetings.

「Today’s symposium was wonderful…I was able to get along with Onee-sama」

Ruriko-san said.

「Onii-sama…thanks for the flower」

She also smiled at me.
There’s two roses from Ruriko-san’s hand…

「Yoshiko…I want to keep this flower as a dry flower」
「That’s a good idea」

I’m glad she’s that pleased.
…Now then,.

「Misuzu…I should go back to the audience soon」

Misuzu and Ruriko-san’s are still in their stage costumes…
Their faces are still white with make-up
They’re going to fix in the dressing room…
I’d be in the way.
I’m worried about everyone in the audience too…

「Danna-sama…it’s impossible right now」

Misuzu speaks strongly.

「That’s right! Onii-sama!」

Ruriko-san too…

「Eh…why?」

Or rather…what impossible?

「There are still some guests remaining…if you go back to the audience seat right now, Danna-sama will gather a lot of attention…!」

…Right
I started the standing ovation on Ruriko-san’s dance…
I even handed a bouquet on Misuzu who’s not supposed to be given flowers…on top of that Misuzu embraced me and we disappeared on the side.
Everyone wants to know my true identity…
No, there would be some who’d like to kill me.
Especially Misuzu’s fiance.

「I think you should stay in our dressing room for a while」

Misuzu proposed…

「But…you three have to change, right?」

Misuzu aside…Ruriko-san and Yoshiko-san must hate to have a man in their dressing room.

「My, I don’t mind」

…Ruriko-san

「Kuromori-sama is Onii-sama…it’s a bit embarrassing but I don’t mind.
Right, Yoshiko?」
「Yes.
Kuromori-sama is someone Misuzu-sama trusts…so we do trust you」

I’d be troubled if you trust me like that…
Well, if they tell me to close my eyes, I’ll just do that…

「Besides…we’re heading to the shower room.
Should we change clothes in there too?」
「Right, Ruriko-sama」

…Shower?

「There’s make-up on my face…the light on the stage is hot.
It’s sticky sweaty under the Kimono」

Misuzu said.

「We’ll take a shower right away so Danna-sama can wait in the dressing room」
「That’s fine but…I have to contact Minaho-neesan」
「How about calling them using the phone in the dressing room? They should be able to receive radio waves in the lobby」

I guess…

「Yes…there’s no need to return to the audience…!!!」

A sudden voice comes from the back.
I feel chills from my back.
That is bloodthirst.

「『Kakka』is waiting for both of you to come…!!!!」

Turning round…a smiling beauty is standing there.
That woman is…
One of Kouzuki『Kakka』three guards…
If I recall…it’s Seki-san.
Earlier,p she’s the one who beat down the man who spoke to『Kakka』

「…What do you mean?」

Misuzu glares at Seki-san.

「It is as I just said.
I’ve received an order from『Kakka』 He asked to bring the two of you… If they resist…I can twist the neck of the man.
I was ordered to bring him even if he’s a corpse…」

Seki-san looks at me.
Bringing me even if I’m dead…?

「Then…what shall you do?」

Seki-san smiled beautifully

「Therefore…what?」

I asked…Seki-san;

「My, sadly…you’re resisting aren’t you?」

Seki-san’s body approaches me!
…Shit
…I’ll get killed!
At the moment I thought of it…!

「…Haa!」

A small figure jumps in between me and Seki-san.

「…That’s far enough!」

…Michi!

「My…were you erasing your presence?」

Seki-san’s mouth distorted from Michi’s appearance.

「It’s different.
It’s impossible for normal people to approach me without affecting me…you’re a somewhat interesting child…!」

The heart of Kuodu style ancient martial arts is to turn over enemy’s Qi and remove their concentration.
Seki-san has already grasped Kudou style already.

「…Michi, stop」

I said.

「Don’t make any more move.
She’ll see through it」

Michi glares at Seki-san…

「However…If I don’t confront her in full strength, I can’t take her down!」

Michi’s frightened by the blood thirst Seki-san emits

「You don’t have to」

I said.

「…Master?」

Michi’s surprised.

「That’s her move.
She emits blood thirst and lets the opponent attack.
Thus, she’ll be able to knock you down legitimately with self defense.
If we attack, we lose」

Seki-san’s surprised.

「My…for a man like you to see through, I must be losing my edge」

Seki-san’s blood thirst disappears.
Michi also fixed her posture.

「Understood…I will report to『Kakka』」

Seki-san smiles.

「The boy didn’t stop resisting by all means」

In a moment…while her blood thirst is gone, Seki-san jumps towards me!
…I

…Don!!!!

The whole stage shook.

「W-What? Earthquake…?!」

I can hear the surprised voices of the people in the theater.

「Look, the stage light is shaking」
「But, it’s too short for an earthquake…」
「Could it be that there’s an explosion outside?」

No…that’s not it.
In front of me…
There’s a special metal cane…
The tip of the stick pokes the pillar of the stage side…

She pierced it with a hole.

「…You’re overdoing it, Fujimiya-san」

Seki-san look at her colleague with a grumpy look.
Just to stop Seki-san from attacking me…
Fujimiya-san seems to have used her stick to the fullest…
…at Seki-san
Then, Seki-san barely avoided it…
The tip of the stick has pierced the pillar in the theater.

「If the blunt force hits me, what are you planning to do?」

Seki-san strongly protests to Fujimiya-san.

「I’ll prepare a million roses at your funeral」

Fujimiya-san said calmly.
Pulling the cane from the pillar…she prepares it with welcoming eyes once again.

「Rather than that…you’re the one who’s overdoing it.
Seki-san」

Fujimiya-san enters a guard pose in between Seki-san and I.

「Our duty as guards is to protect.
Since when did you become an assassin?」

Fujimya-san said…Seki-san;

「It’s a bonus.
That’s what『Kakka』wishes for after all…」

『Kakka』wishes for me to be dead?

「If not…he won’t order a woman like me『if he resists, you can twist his neck』」

Fujimiya-san snorts.

「If he resists…but this boy isn’t resisting at all, is he?」
「That’s a difference in opinion…I can only see this man to be resisting however…」

Hey wait a moment…!

「I’m not resisting.
Or rather, I don’t feel like resisting at all!」

I said clearly.

「Is what he says」

Fujimiya-san said…Seki-san.

「That’s all coming from his mouth…」

Oh…this person.
She’ll forcibly attack me and if I try to shake even a bit…she intends to look at it as a『will to resist』
That’s how she intends to kill me.

「Rather than that…why is someone unrelated to you interfering with me?」

Fujimiya-san…

「My…you haven’t heard? I’m in charge of guarding Misuzu-sama and Ruriko-sama right now」
「That boy isn’t related…」
「I wonder?」

Fujimiya-san asks Misuzu.

「Misuzu-sama…what about it?」
「Protect him.
He’s Misuzu’s beloved ‘Danna-sama’.
Please, protect him…!」

…Misuzu

「If Seki-san kills this boy…Misuzu-sama’s heart would be hurt.
It’s my pride as a guard to protect their hearts」

Fujimiya-san points the tip of the cane at Seki-san.

「You’re thickheaded as usual…even though you’re skilled, what a waste.
If you were a bit more flexible, you could’ve been recommended as『Kakka’s』exclusive guard」
「I have my own resolution.
A snob like you won’t understand though…」

The two takes distance from each other.
Shit, this is bad…
I’m grateful that she’s helping me but…
If Fujimiya-san and Seki-san tries to kill each other, we’re putting the priorities backwards.
If this goes wrong, Minaho-neesan and others will be bothered…

「…Fujimiya-san, please back down」

I prepared for the worst.

「What do you mean?」

Fujimiya-san’s surprised.

「I promise…I won’t resist」

I head towards Seki-san determinedly.

「…Danna-sama, that’s dangerous!」

Misuzu shouts…

「It’s fine…Seki-san’s the top of Kouzuki security service.
A first class guard」

I go in front of Fujimiya-san.

「I won’t resist so…try me」
