Episode 33

“This is all my fault! I’m really sorry!”

Ayase’s eyes widened as Fujiwara Junichiro, the leader of the Fujiwara-gumi, bowed his head and apologized.

Of course, Ayase is not stupid. The fact that she used the word ‘mistake’ on purpose means, in other words, that it was ‘unintentional’.

Of course, it would be impossible to attack the leader of the Minamoto-gumi without his permission.

But even putting all that aside, it was a huge incident that the head of the Fujiwara-gumi, who was practically the enemy of the Minamoto-gumi, bowed his head to a mere woman, even though she was the acting head of the Fujiwara-gumi.

Therefore, it is inevitable that Ayase’s attitude, which had always remained calm, would waver upon entering the Fujiwara residence.

“, please raise your head, Fujiwara-sama. I am… … ”

Fujiwara Junichiro did not raise his head despite Ayase’s words of panic and restraint.

“No, that can’t be! Even though you were tricked by the vice-chief, you ended up causing great harm to your father and the organization! And you were Seonwoo’s lover! You really should hide in a mouse hole!”

Even Ayase could not have imagined that he would act so humble in front of both organizations’ subordinates, so she looked at a loss.

And the same goes for the Minamoto-gumi members waiting behind us.

For those who had come half-prepared for war, the shock they felt when the leader of the Fujiwara-gumi bowed his head must have been indescribable.

However, since we won’t be able to have a proper conversation if things continue like this, I decided to step in and mediate at this point.

“Grandfather. Please stop there and raise your head. We know that you need to apologize, but we came here to talk. If you lower your head like that, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for us?”

Behind me, I could hear the Minamoto-gumi members holding their breath. How could they dare say such a thing to the head of the Fujiwara-gumi?

But I am a being that is allowed to do that.

“Oh, I see! You’re right! It’s not good to force an apology unilaterally!”

At the sight of Fujiwara Junichiro raising his head as if he had been waiting, even Ayase held her breath and glanced at me.

A look that seemed to ask, “What kind of relationship is it that makes them so casual?” Fujiwara Junichiro saw that and laughed heartily.

“Haha, don’t worry, Lady Minamoto. I just happened to have a connection with that child’s parents a long time ago.”

The story of Fujiwara Junichiro was like this.

In the distant past, I almost died in a fight with a certain organization, but while being chased by that organization, I was saved by my parents who were traveling in Japan and me as a child.

“After that day, we often visited each other and became close. Then, at some point, contact suddenly stopped. I thought something must have happened, so I looked into it in every possible way and found out that the two people had died and Seonwoo was left alone.”

Fujiwara Junichiro wanted to take me in, but I refused, and instead, like my parents, we occasionally traveled back and forth to Japan to keep in touch, he said.

… … So that’s how it changed. It’s quite dramatic.

“But now that I look at it, it’s annoying. I never thought that a guy who said he wasn’t interested in the yakuza and even turned down his grandfather’s hand would be meeting a girl from the Minamoto-gumi. Hey, that damn guy.”

“Somehow it turned out like that.”

Thanks to my talent for acting, I didn’t feel awkward in my answers. So I was able to talk to Fujiwara Junichiro, who spoke as if he was a brat, without any hesitation… … But it felt a bit different.

To be honest, the reason I changed Fujiwara Jun’ichiro’s perception was simply to solve Ayase’s problem.

But when we actually met and talked like a real grandfather and grandson, it felt strange.

I was an orphan, so I had no family. But if I had a real grandfather, would this be how I felt?

I don’t know.

“Anyway, I will track down and deal with all those who deceived me, including the underboss that Seonwoo and the young lady brought. Also, I promise here that as long as Seonwoo is here, there will be no more conflict between Fujiwara-gumi and Minamoto-gumi.”

Fujiwara Junichiro’s words had quite a lot of meaning, as he seemed like a nice old man but he was not a yakuza boss for nothing.

Fujiwara-gumi was simply deceived and has no intention of waging an all-out war with Minamoto-gumi.

So I will take care of the aftermath as well, but that will only be until I am connected with the Minamoto-gumi.

It was a statement that suggested that if I broke up with Ayase or lost my connection with the Minamoto-gumi, something like that could happen again.

You’re an experienced person.

“Oh my, does that mean that there’s Fujiwara-gumi behind Seonwoo-nim?”

“Hehe, is that what you’re hearing?”

An old tiger, old but not weak, and a fox, inexperienced but wise, brave, and even strong, stared at each other.

As the saying goes, sparks seem to fly.

When I see a conversation that seems ordinary at first glance feel so murderous, I realize anew that I am caught up in the midst of the yakuza.

Ayase smiled brightly and continued speaking to Fujiwara Junichiro, who showed his approval by asking a question in return.

“Yes. That sounds like it. But don’t worry. Even if I die, I will never part with you, and above all, you are already a member of our Minamoto-gumi family.”

As expected, Ayase. She never bowed down and went in even if it meant dying.

At this, Fujiwara Junichiro raised both hands and smiled as if he had lost.

“I’m sorry. It seems like Seonwoo has found the right person. What a pity. I was going to find a chance someday and bring my granddaughter to our side.”

As if she was truly sorry, Ayase opened her mouth again and said something unexpected to Fujiwara Junichiro.

“Is it okay?”

“What?”

“Huh?”

Jun’ichiro Fujiwara and I both looked at Ayase. What did she just say?

“I never thought I could monopolize someone like Seonwoo from the beginning. Of course I want to monopolize him, but if possible, I want to beat up all the women who come near me and throw them into Tokyo Bay… … ”

Hey, this kid’s eyes are in danger.

“… … If that happens, Seonwoo will be sad. So it’s okay. It’s also a good wife’s quality to acknowledge and accept her husband’s generosity. However, this is only for women who have received my acknowledgement.”

Perhaps because she was the daughter of a yakuza family, her way of thinking was somewhat strange.

I like it, but I wonder if there’s anyone among my girlfriends who can get Ayase’s approval.

Well, if you ask me, it might be possible in terms of force.

“Huh, hahaha! Then that won’t do. Our kids won’t be able to handle the young lady.”

Fujiwara Junichiro, who was smiling happily with a face that showed complete surrender, gestured backwards.

Then, one of the members standing behind brought an envelope and placed it on the table.

“To truly show my sincerity in apologizing, I need something more than words. Please accept it.”

Ayase tilted her head and checked the envelope Fujiwara Junichiro had handed her, and her eyes widened once again.

“Haimega? Are you saying you’re going to hand this over?”

“Of course.”

It was a name I had heard of before. It was definitely the name of a famous mobile game company that was operating around the world.

As a gaming company, I wouldn’t say it’s a top-tier company that everyone knows by name, but it seems to be a company with a lot of fans in the mobile gaming industry.

“Was Haimega a Fujiwara-gumi person?”

“Huh? You didn’t know? Well, you weren’t interested in our business at all, so it wouldn’t be strange if you didn’t know.”

I’ve heard that the Yakuza are getting involved in various businesses because of the Anti-Money Laundering Act, but I didn’t know that they’d even get involved in the gaming business.

Fujiwara Junichiro pointed at me while looking at Ayase who was looking flustered.

“The condition for handing over is to have Seonwoo as the president. Seonwoo will also have most of the shares, but if Minamoto-gumi really thinks of Seonwoo as a family member, it doesn’t really matter. What do you think?”

Indeed. Even if it was an apology, it would be impossible to just hand over a company like this.

An apology to Minamoto-gumi is almost like an excuse.

In reality, it was a gift to me. If it was for the purpose of showing apology, I wouldn’t be able to refuse it, and it would also give the Minamoto-gumi some color, so it’s like killing two birds with one stone.

It’s a perfect inspiration.

“I will gratefully accept it.”

Ayase quickly took the documents without a moment’s hesitation.

I turned on my phone and checked his true feelings through the app. He seemed happy that his position within the organization had grown and that he could come and go more often for inspections and reports.

“Okay, now that the story is over, let’s have a meal. Seonwoo, you should do something big with your grandfather for the first time in a while.”

After that, Ayase and I had a pleasant evening with Fujiwara Junichiro and returned home to the Minamoto residence.

After returning to the mansion and washing up with Ayase, I checked the notifications on my app while she dried her hair.

[Scenario clear!]

[You cleared the VERY HARD difficulty scenario! +100000]

[Management Mode has been unlocked as a reward for clearing the scenario with the lowest damage!]

[Now you can become the CEO of a company and manage the company!]

It seems that minimizing the damage and preventing war was the right answer. If not, things would have gone in a different direction than they did today.

I’m glad it worked out as I expected.

“What are you doing, Seonwoo?”

Ayase, who had finished drying her hair, came over to me and clung to my arm. She smelled good after she finished bathing.

I did it once at the bathhouse and I want to do it again.

“Are you sure it’s a girl?”

“That can’t be true.”

Although I was secretly replying to the flood of messages from my girlfriends, I didn’t have to worry about getting caught because I was doing it through an app.

If you listen to what Ayase said earlier in the day, it doesn’t seem like there will be any major problems even if she gets caught, but it’s still too early to tell.

It would be best to find out about the existence of other girlfriends as late as possible.

“Huh?”

Ayase, who had been staring intently at my phone, soon put aside her doubts and crawled into my arms.

My body jerked once again at the unbearable softness and richness, and at that moment, Ayase, who felt it, slowly approached me.

The nanny’s voice was heard in an urgent manner from outside.

“Miss! Miss!”

“… … What’s going on?”

The nanny shouted at Ayase, who was responding slightly dissatisfied, perhaps because she was interrupted at a good time.

“You should hurry and go to the hospital! They say the old man woke up!”

“Huh?!”

Oh, so you came to your senses after finishing the scenario?

I ran straight to the hospital with Ayase.

—

“… … is back.”

Gu Yu-eun, who entered the room in a dazed state, threw herself onto the sofa.

The same was true for the other members of Britney who had just finished their world tour and were finally able to return home. They were left lying around, sighing, unable to even unpack their luggage.

“This tour was really tough.”

“I thought I was losing.”

“Sister, nice words.”

“I thought it was going to be a mess.”

Even Goo Yu-eun, who would normally say something as a leader, didn’t even have the energy to nag at the moment.

Then, suddenly, Andahi, the second in the group, jumped up from his seat.

“Sister Yoo-eun! Now you have to keep your promise!”

“Huh? What promise!”

“Sister’s boyfriend!”

“Ah.”

It was the members of Britney who endured and endured just for that throughout the difficult world tour.

“That’s right!”

“Please keep your promise!”

Following Andahi, other younger siblings also recruited Gu Yu-eun.

The promise they speak of is a reward.

It was group sex with Gu Yu-eun’s boyfriend.

“Quickly, quickly!”

“Ah, I get it. Okay, so stop whining.”

The eyes of female idols got hot as they thought about Gu Yu-eun’s boyfriend whom they saw at a fan signing event one day.
