Our car runs through the town at a violent speed.
「...We don't have time. We have to take Megumi and Mana to the school then we'll be heading to the other house of Shirasaka」
Minaho-neesan said.
「Eh...Minaho-neesan too?」
Minaho-neesan's the brain of 『Kuromori』
I don't think she should go to dangerous locations...
「It can't be helped. Margo can't leave Nei's side because she has to counterattack... Katsuko will manage the work on the internet」
「But...Minaho-neesan, if something happens to you」
Minaho-neesan smiles from the driver seat.
「It's okay...I have plans organized for various situations. Even if I'm not there, Margo and Katsuko will execute it perfectly」
「...That's not true」
I said.
「We need Minaho-neesan...!」
The smile in Minaho-neesan's face disappears.
「...Thank you, Yoshida-kun」
7Then...said
「To tell you the truth...we have something to steal from Shirasaka's other house. That is an important trump card for us right now. It's impossible to distinguish if I won't go...」
So that's the idea...
「Got it...I'll protect Minaho-neesan」
Kudou-chan looks at me.
「Then...I will be protecting Yoshida-sama」
...Kudou-chan
「That is Misuzu-sama's orders...」
She looks inside her bag.
I wonder if she's checking her accessories.
She's going to take some surprising weapon again.
「Kudou-san...I've got a question」
Minaho-neesan looks at Kudou-chan.
「Yes...What is it?」
「What kind of department does your father belong to among the Kouzuki security service? He did say that he doesn't belong to the security department...」
Kudou-chan answers.
「He belongs to the president's office from the organizational chart. Actually...They're a mobile unit directly under Kouzuki-sama...or rather, they're thought as Kouzuki-sama's plaything」
...Plaything?
「Father receives direct orders from Kouzuki-sama. The contents of the orders aren't told to anyone in the company at all. Therefore...if you look from outside perspective, you can only think that father is just playing around」
Well...with his looks and behavior.
Nobody would think that he's being serious.
「...How much is the salary?」
「The budget of the department is obtained directly from Kouzuki-sama. That car isn't registered as an equipment of Kouzuki security service, it's not audited by the company either. It belongs to father's company on documents」
Kudou-chan says while looking at the 『Kudou detective agency』van behing us.
「...Your father's company?」
I ask.
「That 『Kudou detective agency』 It's a different company that has nothing to do with Kouzuki security service. Officially, 『Kudou detective agency』and the 『Guard division』is a business tie up and it's displayed that father is sent there」
「...That said」
「Yes...father's not a regular member of Kouzuki security service. He receives an annual salaray from Kouzuki-sama every year」
