「 I had sex with Kanou Sakurako. She was a virgin. And I took that virginity 」
I speak as loud and clear I can.
「 That can’t be!! 」
Sakurako-san’s father, Kanou Noriaki shouted.
「 Sakurako’s a daughter of the Kanou house and a vulgar fellow like you… 」
Fellow what?
「 That can never happen!! 」
The near-50-year-old man screamed.
「 But, you can’t deny the truth, can you? 」
Old Kaan speaks without hesitation.
「 So, how was it? Is she good? 」
Old Kaan looked at me.
「 It felt great 」
I replied immediately.
「 What’s great? 」
「 Sakurako-san has a nicely shaped breast. The size fits my palm, and her skin is really smooth. Also, her nipples are very much like her name, it’s sakura colored. Also… 」
「 Shut up! I don’t want to hear that!! 」
I ignored Kanou Noriaki and continued.
「 Then, I licked her whole body, her nipples, and pussy too. Of course, she’s a virgin so she’s nice and tight. Sakurako squeezed my dick and the feeling inside her pussy is the best!!! 」
「 Hey!! I told you to shut up!!! 」
「 I couldn’t hold back that I came four times! I had Sakurako-san drink my semen for her first, then the remaining three are all inside.
「 You bastard!!! 」
Kanou Noriaki’s complexion has changed.
「 We didn’t use contraception. I came inside Sakurako-san’s womb so she might be pregnant now 」
「 You moron!!!!! 」
Kanou Noriaki stood up from his seat and beelined to me.
I’m not running away.
「 I was able to enjoy various sexual positions for six hours with her!!! 」
「 Stop fooling around!!! 」
Kanou Noriaki’s fist raised overhead.
「 Father! Stop it!! 」
Sakurako-san tried to stop her father, but…
「 You can’t do that 」
Katsuko-nee held Sakurako-san’s body to stop her.
「 Sakurako-san has a nice body!!! 」
「 Are you still going to speak?!!! 」
His fist hits my face.
I took the first one.
I moved my body on the second one, decreasing the damage.
Third, fourth.
Kanou Noriaki kicks me out of rage, so…
It would be bad if I take a hit on my stomach so I avoided it.
Then, Kanou Noriaki fell to the floor by himself.
This man doesn’t exercise normally.
His punches aren’t even hard.
「 Are you okay, Kou-chan? 」
Momoko-neechan asks me worriedly, but…
「 Totally 」
I replied with a smile.
「 But Kou 」
Mariko looks at me worriedly.
「 No, I’m really fine. Look, Misuzu or Katsuko-nee don’t show worry, right? They know that I’m training with Michi 」
I know well why Michi’s teaching me.
My training isn’t to attack the other party but to see through their attacks, and make sure that the damage is at a minimum.
Even if I took a punch on my face on purpose, I shifted the angle well enough that I didn’t take it all in.
「 This old man’s punch won’t work on me 」
I look at Kanou Noriaki on the floor and said.
「 You bastard!!! 」
Kanou stood up and tried to hit me again, but…
「 Stop it 」
Old Kaan’s solemn voice stopped Kanou Noriaki.
「 If you continue your violence as I’m here then I’m calling Taichi 」
Old Kaan said.
「 We already took the trouble to send all the guards outside so we could have a private talk. I’m the mediator here 」
Normally, it wouldn’t be surprising if someone like the old Kaan has at least one bodyguard with him.
It’s that kind of status.
Even if they have the same lineage and status, the Kaan house currently has far more resources and power than the Kanou house.
「 If you continue to ignore my concern and continue with your violence where there are no guards…Noriaki-kun… I’m afraid that I will have to punish you 」
「 Punish me? 」
Kanou Noriaki asks in surprise.
「 It seems that you do not understand the reason why you’re summoned 」
Old Kaan looks at Noriaki-san coldly.
「 W-Well, I came here to take back my scandalous daughter. I… 」
Hearing her father say that, Sakurako-san looked down mournfully.
「 Umu, scandalous? 」
「 Am I wrong? My daughter allowed this man to defile her body 」
「 How old is Sakurako-kun this year? 」
Old Kaan replies in a low tone.
「 T-That’s… 」
「 What? You don’t even know how old your daughter is, Noriaki-kun? 」
「 N-No, she’s in high school from this spring so, well… 」
This man had no interest in his child at all.
「 It’s sixteen. Sakurako’s 16-years-old 」
Sakurako-san’s mother, who had been watching quietly so far, speaks up.
「 Thank you, Satoko-kun. I see, Kanou Sakurako-kun is 16. Then, she’s a minor. Shouldn’t the parents be responsible for the scandals that a minor has caused? 」
Old Kaan told Kanou Noriaki.
「 At least, I think that you’re quite guilty of being negligent of your daughter, don’t you agree? 」
「 I-I didn’t do anything! I haven’t done anything wrong!! 」
Kanou-san replies reflexively.
「 That’s why I’m saying that you’re guilty of doing nothing 」
A sin of not doing anything.
「 Why do you think Sakurako-kun did it? 」
「 I don’t know 」
「 Do you not understand? This would not happen for a girl of her age unless she’s brood over too much 」
Old Kaan looked at Sakurako-san;
「 Sakurako-kun, tell us what you came to the hotel for today 」
That’s…
Katsuko-nee’s still hugging Sakurako-san’s body from behind.
Mariko’s holding Sakurako-san’s hand.
Feeling the warmth of their skin, Sakurako-san;
「 Yes. I came here because I thought I wanted to experience what prostitution is 」
She looked at old Kaan and replied honestly.
「 So, your partner was this boy? 」
「 Yes. I sold my body for six hours with the rate of 1000 yen per hour 」
「 Sakurako, have you gone mad?! 」
Kanou Noriaki shouts, but…
「 Dear, that’s enough!! 」
Sakurako-san’s mother told her husband.
「 Don’t bring shame to yourself any more than this 」
「 Shame? Me? 」
「 Yes, you’re being shameful Noriaki-kun. So, quiet down 」
Old Kaan told Noriaki-san.
Then.
「 Sakurako-kun, you know who this boy is, don’t you? 」
He continues questioning Sakurako-san.
「 Yes. I’ve met him during the garden party in Kouzuki-sama’s mansion and we acquainted with each other 」
「 Hmm, meaning, it wasn’t your first meeting. You were acquainted with each other 」
「 Indeed 」
Sakurako-san and I aren’t that close, but…
But we’re no total strangers.
「 Sakurako-kun, how do you define prostitution? 」
「 I believe that it’s an act of selling one’s body for money 」
Sakurako-san replied to old Kaan.
「 Then why do you think women sell their body for money? 」
「 That’s… 」
「 Most of the women who do prostitution for livelihood earn income from the act. One can earn several times than what a normal person would earn in a day with just a few hours of work 」
Old Kaan looked straight into Sakurako-san’s eye and said.
「 There are some sexual predators who aren’t financially deprived but feel dark pleasure in prostitution and selling their bodies. That doesn’t mean that they’ll sell themselves for 100 or 200 yen. Do you know why? 」
「 No, I don’t 」
Old Kaan laughed.
「 For those women, the amount of money they sell their bodies for is their “Value.” It’s their appraised value 」
They appraise themselves using money.
「 They don’t think that their body is worth thousands of yen. They don’t believe it’s worth 100,000 yen, but they do believe that it’s worth at least tens of thousands. That’s why they don’t do prostitution unless they can earn an amount of money they believe is their worth. That’s because, behind the act of prostitution, they hide their desire to have others recognize their value 」
I see.
「 By the way, Sakurako-kun, are you tight on money? 」
「 No, that’s not the case 」
「 Hmm, so you’re different from most prostitutes who are in poverty that they had to sell their bodies 」
Old Kaan said with a smile.
「 If so, Sakurako-kun, do you think that your body and intercourse with you is only worth a thousand an hour? 」
「 That’s… 」
Sakurako-san looked at me.
「 If it were Kuromori-sama, I thought that amount would be fine 」
「 If you had to sell your body to a stranger, then how much would you sell it for? If you have to deal with a man you met for the first time… 」
「 I couldn’t possibly do it with that kind of man 」
Sakurako-san replied immediately.
「 No matter how many thousands or millions of yen is offered, I will not have sex with a stranger 」
The old man smiled.
「 Then that’s the worth you feel for yourself, Sakurako-kun. You believe that you, your body, and your sex is priceless. Meaning… 」
Yeah.
「 Sakurako-kun isn’t a prostitute. What you did with this boy today was just a play 」
「 I realized that myself after doing it with Kuromori-sama. What I’ve done wasn’t prostitution 」
Sakurako-san said while looking down.
「 Obviously. Besides, Sakurako-kun is a young and charming woman, you can’t sell yourself for a thousand per hour 」
「 But, I received 6000 yen from Kuromori-sama 」
She speaks apologetically.
「 Use that money to buy ice cream and eat with everyone. Misuzu-kun, my Momoko, Mariko-kun, and the other girls…Sakurako-kun, treat those people who were worried about you 」
Kaan-san said with a smile.
「 Boy, you won’t ask her to return the money this late, would you? 」
「 No way, I gave that to Sakurako-san already 」
I said.
「 I see. You gave it. That wasn’t the price for buying Sakurako-kun’s body? 」
「 Why would I buy a cute girl like Sakurako with money? 」
I said.
「 I’m thankful to you for that. If you had paid her the amount of money with the market price for a high school prostitute, then Sakurako-kun might’ve seen herself as a formal prostitute. However, thanks to your ridiculous price of a thousand per hour, it all ended up playing around. 」
The fact is, even if the payment is 1000, prostitution is still prostitution.
But since the old Kaan, a man of influence says that it’s just a play, then it will become the truth.
At least, that’s how Sakurako-san’s heart will be saved.
「 If a young lady of the nobility becomes a prostitute, then it would be a big problem. However, what happened today was just a sexual act between a woman of age interested in sex with a man. That’s a problem on its own, but it’s not much. I won’t ask a young man and woman to not have sex. When I was at this boy’s age, I wasn’t a virgin anymore either. Kouzuki, and the Sakurako-kun’s late grandfather too 」
Old Kaan said.
「 I want you to be careful about pregnancy but I’m not going to say anything about your prostitution play. There’s no reason for me, a stranger, to complain about your sex life. As long as you keep it from the public eye 」
Misuzu’s peeing fetish and Ruriko’s filming fetish as well.
As long as the public doesn’t know, then it doesn’t matter what kind of sex they do inside home.
The young ladies of nobility are also free in their private life.
「 We will disregard Sakurako-kun’s problem this time. Is there anyone to object? 」
Old Kaan looked around the room.
Nobody did.
「 There seem to be no protests 」
「 None. As expected of Grandfather, excellent decision 」
Momoko-neechan smiled at Kaan-san.
「 As long as it doesn’t damage the honor of the Kanou house then I do not mind 」
Kanou Noriaki said.
Sakurako-san’s mother looks gloomy.
「 Now let’s continue with our deliberation with Noriaki-kun 」
「 M-Me? 」
Kanou Noriaki’s surprised.
「 Haven’t I mentioned? You have sinned. Your sin is neglecting supervision on Sakurako-kun 」
Kaan-san looked at Noriaki-san.
「 A detailed report from the Takahashi house regarding the breaking off their engagement with Sakurako-kun has reached Kouzuki and me 」
The Takahashi house, who had their heir engaged with Sakurako-san reported to Sakurako-san the reason for breaking off the engagement.
The Kouzuki and Kaan house are the families that tie the nobility together.
The same report has reached Kaan-san’s ears too.
「 How Sakurako-kun came to be, and in that process, how Noriaki-kun hurt a woman, treated her poorly, and even sent her to her death. I know it all 」
Kanou Noriaki had an affair with a college student working part-time hostess on a bar in Ginza.
She gave birth to Sakurako-san.
Then, as soon as the child was born, Sakurako-san’s birth mother was kicked out.
Sakurako-san’s birth mother became a prostitute and died.
「 I-I wasn’t the one to let her die! I paid that woman a decent amount 」
「 That sum can only be called small change from our society’s common sense. Compensation money had to be at least ten times of what you gave her 」
I see. They only paid her about two million yen.
「 B-But, we paid for all the expenses for childbirth before giving her compensation money 」
「 You impregnated her so isn’t it natural that you’ll pay for all that? 」
Old Kaan retorts sharply
「 No, back then, Noriaki-kun wasn’t yet the head of the Kanou house so that Kanou paid it off 」
The late head paid for all the expenses.
「 Why didn’t he talk to Kouzuki or me about it. That’s stand-offish of him. No, he probably was so ashamed that he couldn’t consult with us. He has a tall pride as the head of the Kanou house. It’s too high that he failed repeatedly 」
It seems that Sakurako-san’s grandfather’s generation was their house has fallen even if they have the same status as the Kouzuki and Kaan house.
「 If he was still alive then I would’ve punched him, but… 」
The three heads of the big three, old Kaan, Jii-chan, and the previous head of the Kanou house had a close relationship.
Despite that, the previous head of the Kanou house never consulted Kaan-san about the affair his son had committed.
He didn’t discuss it with them.
「 He’s dead already so no matter how much he regrets it, he can’t do anything. Sakurako-kun, sorry. If only Kouzuki and I have noticed it sooner 」
Then, Kaan-san was unable to guess what’s happening at his friend’s house.
「 No, Kaan-sama and Kouzuki-sama have always taken care of me. There’s nobody in the Kanou house that’s not grateful to you both 」
The Kanou house whose family has fallen to hard times still managed to maintain their appearance as a noble family.
That’s because Kaan and Kouzuki house have been securing them in various ways.
「 Family matters are family matters, but your personal life is different. You were his granddaughter, so as his friend, we have to look after the late Kanou’s grandchild 」
Then, Kaan-san looked at Kanou Noriaki.
「 Coincidentally, as one that unites the noble families, we also must bring punishment to keep the pride of the nobility 」
Punishment.
「 Neither Kouzuki nor I am going to punish you for the past sins this late 」
The past sin of letting Sakurako-san’s birth mother died.
「 No, it might be a sin to have an affair with a woman other than my wife and give birth to Sakurako, but it’s not my fault that she became a prostitute, much less die, that’s not my responsibility as I already cut off my ties with her! 」
Kanou Noriaki shouted.
「 That was her fault, and I have nothing to do with it 」
「 I think you’re a happy man to think that way. But, you’re that kind of person. Enough, I said that I don’t want to dwell on the past 」
Old Kaan looked at Noriaki-san.
「 The problem is the current one and the future 」
He speaks in a solemn voice.
「 Do you currently have the quality to carry the Kanou house on your shoulders? If we leave the Kanou house in your hands, will there be a future for your house? Those are Kouzuki and my focus 」
The qualities of the head of nobility.
「 Momoko, also Misuzu-kun. How do you appraise Noriaki-kun right now? Do you think that he should continue to be the head of the Kanou house? 」
Kaan-san asks the two daughters of the nobility.
「 I’m sorry to say but… 」
Momoko-neechan said.
「 I don’t think Kanou Noriaki-sama has the quality to be the head of a noble family 」
「 I agree 」
Misuzu also doubts Kanou Noriaki’s talents.
「 Why do you two think so? 」
Kaan-san asks the two.
「 I feel that Kanou-sama is a person who only thinks from his perspective 」
「 He can’t understand how other people feel 」
The two said.
「 Kanou-sama, you tried to attack Danna-sama just because he had sex with Sakurako-san… 」
「 Indeed, you also blame someone else for what you did to Sakurako’s birth mother 」
A married man had an affair with a part-timer college student and had a child with her.
Furthermore, he took the child, banished the woman, never supported her, and let her die.
「 The relatives of Sakurako’s birth mother will surely resent you for the rest of their lives 」
Sakurako-san’s birth mother’s siblings, relatives, and friends…
Some of them would want to punch Kanou Noriaki in the face.
「 The inability to imagine that means that in Kanou-sama’s head, it’s already over 」
「 That’s why he’s able to punch Danna-sama without hesitation 」
「 Meanwhile, Sakurako was so shocked about Kanou-sama’s past that she made this commotion 」
「 Kanou-sama doesn’t seem to think that he’s responsible for this 」
「 I don’t think his way of thinking is suitable for the head of the Kanou house 」
Momoko-neechan and Misuzu said.
「 I agree 」
Old Kaan says.
「 I’ve been watching Noriaki-kun’s attitude since earlier, but even when I mentioned that Kouzuki offered this place to solve Kanou house’s problems, I never heard him speak his appreciation at all. Don’t you usually say “I’m sorry for the inconvenience,” or “Thank you for coming with us today” 」
Oh, Kanou Noriaki was sitting here looking so bossy since we came to this room.
「 You seem to think that it’s normal for me and Kouzuki to work for the Kanou house, however, what we do is protecting the entire Kanou house out of our friendship with your late father. I don’t remember being a vassal of the Kanou house 」
「 T-That’s… 」
「 I can only think that you’re unaware of what you’re doing. You’re crazy to have that kind of attitude in this situation. That’s not fitting for the head of the nobility 」
Then.
「 You don’t seem to understand that I came here to judge you. And you failed. Kouzuki will hear the results of my judging as well. We will have you step down as the head of the Kaan house 」
He gives his verdict.
「 P-Please wait! Even if it’s Kaan-sama, this is tyrannous! You’re no vassals of the Kanou house, and we’re no vassals of the Kaan and Kouzuki house either!! Each noble house is independent of the other!! It’s the house that decides who their head is, so Kaan-sama can’t interfere!! 」
Kanou Noriaki complains in panic.
「 That’s how it is in other houses, yes, but, it’s troublesome to have the current Kanou house forget how much assistance Kouzuki and I have given them 」
Old Kaan said.
「 If you’re going to oppose our intentions then we’ll cut off our support. I’ll warn the other families to reconsider their relationship with the Kanou house as well 」
Not just Kaan and Kouzuki house, but all of the nobility will cut off their relationship with the Kanou house.
「 Haha, you try to threaten us like that but Kanou house is also a family that’s equal to the Kaan and Kouzuki house! I know that you’ll never try to crush down the Kanou house!! 」
Jii-chan and Kaan-san want to preserve the nobility as much as possible.
It would be bad to crush the Kanou house, which is a noble family above others.
Therefore, they’re receiving support even now.
「 Yes, Kanou house will remain. But the house is separate from you. Even without you, Kanou house will remain 」
「 I’m the eldest son of the main house! If I’m banished then the house will not be able to continue 」
Kanou Noriaki screams.
「 I wonder? I think that the branch families have already begun their action to take you down 」
Kaan-san said.
「 The branch families? 」
「 Kouzuki and I have already talked to the head of the branch families. We’ve convinced them 」
I see.
While Sakurako-san’s confined in the hotel.
Kaan-san had been convincing the branch family.
「 Have you heard of the term “Oshikome?1” It’s a samurai practice that’s existed during the Kamakura period, where the samurai family destroys a bad Master’s house. That’s why the vassals agree to forcibly confine their useless master. Then, they will announce that their head is ill so a new head will take charge. It’s the last resort for the vassals to protect the house. 」
The house isn’t just the master and the family.
If Kanou Noriaki remains the head of the house, other families would abandon them.
And so, the people below him will forcibly change the head of the family.
「 Now you decide if you want to be forced to be imprisoned or if you want to step down as the head of the family 」
Kaan-san’s speech is cold.
